Felix slowly opened his eyes to meet himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. The space around him seemed to be dead silent until an emotional voice was heard from besides him.
"Buddy, you are back with the living! Don't you ever try to die on me again!" Jacob nearly cried as he emotionally hugged his best friend with all his might.
"Man not too hard... not too hard. You're going to crush what's left of my weak bones!" Felix protested as he patted Jacob's back with a smile on his face. His eyes were unknowingly welling up with tears.
"Doctor Frank, he's awake!" Nix screamed at the phone in joy, making Felix squint his eyes. He must have brought quite the shock.
"Really, then, there's no need for a chat over the phone, I'm driving there now!" Frank hurriedly yelled over the phone with an excited tone.
Ping.
Nix hung up before pocketing her phone swiftly, then, silently observing Felix with narrowed eyes. After seeing him not showing any significant signs of extreme fatigue or pain she relaxed.
"Are you okay, Felix?" Nix asked Felix softly, as if she was afraid he's going to snap at any given moment.
"Yep, all good. So, can I get off this bed now, I wanna go play some video games to help me calm down." Felix lied before subconsciously looking down, before seeing the familiar screen on the surface of his wrist.

'Hmm... I need to get to my room to check it out in secret first, I just have to first convince this woman I'm fine!'
"Nope, Felix you understand that you almost died right, and that you were somehow awakening a new mutant power in your sleep? So you'll need lots of rest, and less of work." Jacob announced to Felix with a frown on his face as he looked over to Nix for support.
Nix just shrugged helplessly. She could care less if he wanted to leave or not as long as he didn't get himself killed before the doctor arrived.
"Do what you want. Just don't get killed, unless I'll rip off your face from your dead body." Nix spat out ruthlessly without even blinking, before turning around to leave.
Felix gulped hard, big sister was extremely scary.
Gulp...
"Hmm, that wind user what did you guys do with her?" Felix asked as he removed the blanket from his body.
Nix who was at the door froze with her hands on the knob, "She's in detention until you get better. Besides, the exams for those leaving the base is starting soon. Hope you do well."
Nix twisted the knob, pushed open the door and stepped outside.
"Jacob, let's go now. I want to go sleep in my comfy bed again, sleeping here gives me the creeps." Felix advised before climbing off the bed, and walking out of the room while using Jacob as support.
They walked past Nix who stood outside the door, and after walking for what seemed like ages they finally arrived before their dorms.
"Finally, I'm back to our little dormitory. Jacob, help me to the bed, let me sleep for a second. Don't worry you'll be handsomely rewarded!" Felix exclaimed as he tugged on John's shirt with a smile on his face as he supported himself with Jacob's sturdy body.
"Hehe, here you go. Just remember you'll owe me a couple credits though!" Jacob yelled as he coughed twice and began to help Felix to his bed.
Felix's face darkened as he heard Jacob, but he didn't voice out his complaints now. Money was his everything, his friend was asking too much!
After dropping Felix on his bed, John sighed and turned to leave. Felix watched his friend close the door behind him and suddenly got to work.
Looking down to his watch in apprehension, Felix curiously saw a barrage of text pop up on the screen.
–Welcome To The Heroic Dark Web–
–Log In To The Heroic Dark Web–
–Sign In As New Member Of The Heroic Dark Net–
Felix, the smart telepathic mutant who was new to this, and didn't want to do something incredibly stupid stayed away from the –Log In– button which was highlighted in green, but instead tapped on the –Sign In– which was highlighted in gold.
Tap...
A single tap from his finger...
No response.
'What the fuck is this? I can't even access this information!'
In a bout of confusion Felix began to mindlessly tap away at the surface of the watch only to grow even more stupid at every touch.
WHAT THE HELL???
This feeling... It was as if he just let a bag of credits worth up to a hundred billion slip past his fingers into a bottomless pit!
It was so damn frustrating!
Felix furiously swiped up on the watch screen, and after no response turned over to sleep only to be interrupted by an unfamiliar 'Ding Ding' sound.
Suddenly the screen of watch-like device on Felix arms started to flash as it projected a few blue screens into the air.
–Name....?–
–Custom Body....?–
–Password....?–
Seeing the strange blue screens before him, Felix fell into deep thought.
What was going on? Did he awaken some special ability exclusive to only handsome anomalies like him or was it related to that survival game before...?
Everything was getting even more complicated than ever!
He, the almighty Felix decided to brush of the matter and face the situation before him. He immediately touched the nearly transparent screens in curiosity.
The screen felt like glass, it was tangible to him, but even a brainless retard would know that it wasn't able to be seen or touched by others.
Heavens bless the genius who made this!
Not only was the screen extremely high-tech, it was also relatively smooth and could become transparent if he focused his gaze on it!
He cloud even close the screen! With this, he doesn't have to worry about his vision being blocked.
After pondering on it for a long time, Felix inputs -Psychic- as his custom avater name into the system through the keyboard which appeared automatically after he finished thinking.
Felix didn't want to alter his amazing face in the game. He was at the apex of all the handsome men, changing his looks was equivalent to shooting himself in the foot!
Anyone who tried to cause trouble for him in the real world will eat the tyrannical might of his legendary telepathic control over all objects!
He customised his starting avatar clothing to a black hoodie, a pair of black jeans, and a simple lightweight energy pistol for defence holstered to his thigh.
After scanning his mutant ability into the said 'Heroic Gene Module' Felix moved unto the next step where he unhesitatingly began to input his password:
–Password - *Psychic_Phoenix*–
Suddenly a bright blue screen flashed before Felix's face as his jaw dropped slightly.
–Loading The Heroic Dark Web...–
–Formulating Character Module...–
–10%...30%...80%...100%–
–Welcome Player @Psychic #108!–
Felix subconsciously smirked as a glowing black paw appeared at the left hand side of the screen. The paw's light continuously blinked as Felix's hand started to find it's way to it.
–Touch The Transfer Button To Begin Your Journey As A True Anomaly...–
Felix's hands came in contact with the little black paw, and he suddenly broke into a serious mode.
'It's trying to draw me in, and it needs me to focus my mind into it. I should focus all else I might be in serious trouble.'
After a few more seconds of waiting, a black light suddenly engulfed Felix's consciousness as his real body dropped down to the bed.
—Complete!–
----
Ding Ding Ding!
Felix opened his eyes slowly. His head was spinning slightly, and his body was slightly numb.
'Did it work? Where am I now?'
He stared at the strangely white, spotless roof for some seconds before lifting himself off the floor to his feet, and looking around himself vigilantly.
He was in a white 'box' with nothing visible in the room except from him, and his shadow.
–Player, This Is Your Capsule–
–You Can Modify Your Personal Game Settings Here And Access The Web Here!–
'Huh, game settings? What have I gotten into this time, I have had enough of survival games!' Felix inwardly cursed as he took a step forward only to find out that he wasn't feeling the floor...
He looked down to see himself slightly hovering above the plain white floor.
Was he actually flying right now, or did he somehow appear in heaven?

–Thundra has sent you a friend request!–
Pushing away all the screens before his face to the side, Felix curiously made a mental upward swipe.
Suddenly a new screen appeared before him as his jaw dropped to the ground.
The words –Heroic Dark Web– were written in a bold red text, while the web logo - a black two-headed dragon with hollowed out golden eyes - was right below the text.
Scrolling down, Felix saw various links, ads, and messages which made him grin in excitement as he unconsciously clenched his fists.
[Road to get stronger - Buy Energy Replenishing Pills here!]
[Cheat Codes Alert! - Get cheat codes here, use them to your advantage!]
[Start with your own lucky companion - Spin the wheel to get a random pet!]
Felix kept swiping left, and right with his fingers, discarding every screen popping up before him as he began to grin madly...
Cheats, Power, Money, Women...
Felix's eyes began to glow as he was instantly transported into a world full of dollar notes with various women caressing and touching him, and thousands of golden cloaked people worshipping him with their heads bowed.
Everything is here in my hands... I won't waste this opportunity!

Felix felt as if all his problems had vanished into thin air. With a profound grin, Felix was about to tap it when an annoying ding sound rang in his ears.
Ding~~~
–Heroism Online–
'What the f**king hell is going on?!' Felix thought as his mind immediately went blank.
