In this world, people had supernatural abilities. These abilities or SP for short, were passed down generation to generation, sometimes merging together.
Even though the government tried to enforce that everyone was equal, no one could not secretly discriminate against those with weaker powers.
Though there was a way to get stronger, it was to level up by doing the task your system told you to. Systems were with everyone at birth, and they all varied. They could hand out easy tasks, hard tasks, and inhuman tasks.
Nen's father Eiju, (which means eternity) had the power of compression and expansion. As the name states, he could compress and expand things and he could even do it while not touching the object.
His mother Rei had the power of psychokinesis, which was that she could move things with her mind. Although she could only move things slowly and not for very far, it still was a rare a powerful ability if trained right.
Rei had no intentions of this and just wanted to have a happy family, so she married Eiju.
Their powers merged and Nen got the ability to expand/compress things while holding them up. His future was already promising as a few companies already wanted to sign a contract for when he was older.Though currently it was very weak and could only do small things.
Nen was in his freshman year of high school. With his blank look, skin as pale and smooth as porcelain, and long black silky hair, he got many female and male fans. There was even a club dedicated to him, even though all he did was sit and sleep.
"Nen! What are you doing after school?" A female classmate of his, Amaryllis talked to him. She had the ability of something called infatuate. Basically, she could charm people to make them vulnerable.
Although Amarllis could only do it for a few seconds, she could always level up later.
"Mm....." As Nen was thinking, his mind went off elsewhere. This was a problem he had, he couldn't pay attention to something for that long, giving him that blank stare. It wasn't a sickness or anything, it was just his personality.
Seeing Nen not saying anything, Amarllis got a bit awarkward.
"Ummm, well i'll leave you to it!" Amarllis excused herself.
Nen turned his head at the fleeing Amarllis and wanted to say something...or not, too much effort. Nen turned his head back and felt a sudden urge to go to sleep. It was basically the end of the school day, so it shouldn't hurt.
...
"Nen? Wake up Nen." A gentle male voice sounded, as something shook his shoulder gently. Nen slowly opened his eyes and saw his homeroom teacher, Miles Hick or Mr. Hick. His hr teacher was also a favorite of the students because of his gentle personality and looks.
Mr. Hick had soft brown hair with glasses, so it amplified his gentle persona 10xs more.
"Ah..." Nen slowly lifted his head up and looked at him.
"Ah you're awake. Anyways, you should go home soon, the sun's setting." He signaled to the window, which indeed showed the sun setting.
"What...time is it." Nen sleepily said. He didn't raise his voice at the end, so it sounded more of a command.
"Mmm, about 6ish." Miles didn't mind, he knew the personality of his student well.
"Huh, ok...bye then." Nen lazily packed up his stuff, and exited the school. All the students in clubs have already left hours ago.
Nen was walking his usual way back to home, when he decided to use a shortcut by using the alleyway. After a few minutes of walking through the alleyway, he heard loud voices.
Usually, he would have ignored it, but it blocked his path home. And since he was tired, he didn't want to walk back. He sighed. He crept quietly and peeked around a corner. Just as he turned it-
BAM! Something slammed into him full force, which caused him to see the stars and lose his footing. A big body laid ontop of him as he struggled to get up. The person ontop of him didn't seem to notice.
"Ugh you bastard! Ya asking for a beating now!" A young voice, probably between 15-17 shouted. The person ontop of him then spat out some blood in his mouth onto the floor.
The boy, along with other people, (who seemed to be his friends) charged at a group of adults smirking as they held their ground.
The guy who was ontop of him suddenly jumped really fast in between the rubbish and people. Nen widened his eyes, using abilities in public was extremely illegal. As he thought this, he came back to his senses. He tried to get up, but failed as his ankle suddenly collapsed from his weight.
"Argh..." Nen tried not to let his voice out, so that he could just get away from there unnoticed. His outfit was a big black hoodie, and was wearing black cargo pants so it helped him in the dark alleyway.
He heard a voice of pain, so he looked back up. He saw a man clutch his arm, as blood seemed to come out of his sleeves.
"Get them now!" A voice sounded and all the boys charged at the group of 4 men. After more fighting I will not describe, Nen was trembling from fear. The boys brutally beat the men into the ground and spat in their faces. Their eyes and body slightly glowed as they stopped using their powers.
"Y-You-" One man said before being interrupted.
"Augh, we won't come here again alright?" He scowled.
"Good, if we see you guys again..." The most wounded of the bunch, (seemingly the leader) made a throat threatening gesture. One of the men backed away, before others joined in.
After the men were out of sight, the boys immediately threw off their intimidating look and began celebrating.
"AHAHAHHAHAHA Imagine a group of armed men being beaten by a group of highschool boys!!" One laughed so hard tears came into his eyes. Now that the boys weren't moving around everywhere, Nen could see it was only 5 boys there. Not a whole gang but still very scary.
Though Nen did not look like it on the outside, he was scared and in pain. But for others, it just looked like he twirled his pencil on his desk.
Nen slowly and painfully backed his way out, and just as he was about to get away...
"Hey, why don't we get some fast food along the way?" Asked one of them.
"Mmm, now that you think about it, I'm really hungry."
"Chicken.." One drooled. The others piped in agreement.
"Let's get some fast food then." Agreed the (seemingly?) leader. They turned to Nen's direction...
...
It seemed that the entire world froze when the boys saw Nen.
