An 8-year-old boy is found in a room with his mother. She was waiting in a seat and the boy on a somewhat old doctor's stretcher. The red brick walls covering the room gave a somewhat terrifying vision, but nothing to worry about. Every moment of silence ends when the door opens and a person with a Plague mask makes an appearance.
- Mother: So what gift does my son have, Doc?
- Doc: Well, miss, I'll be direct. Your son has no gift.
- Mother: Oh no, my baby, what will I do? (Thoughts: It was good to bring my little one to the clandestine Gift inspection, I'll have my little one for a little longer). Very well, Doc, thank you very much. Reith, let's go.
- Reith: Okay, mom.
/ Scene change /
- Narrator: It all starts at the moment when the war between countries arose on planet Earth, it was a catastrophe. Once the war was over, only one unified country remained, the United States. We could say it came out victorious, but at what cost? The probabilities of the human race being eliminated were too high, so the Genesis project was created, where many ships would be sent to the planet most similar to Earth, Mars. On Earth, the population index was less than 5 million. The operation emerged and finally 100 spaceships were sent to the planet Mars. Everything went as expected, humanity managed to settle on Mars and the new era began, and this Era brought the evolution of humans who now emerged with gifts. These gifts at first were not so chaotic, but with the passage of time, more exactly two centuries, these gifts had to be regulated and then the hero system was created. That's where we find ourselves now, an Era where heroes fight against villains so that society does not fall into Chaos.
/ Scene change /
Region: 142, City: Chimera, Year: 2205, Residence: Kakumei.
A mother with black hair and an 8-year-old boy with black hair and brown eyes. They enter their house, on the sofa was a man watching television, that was until mother and son arrived.
- Father: So how did it go?
- Mother: Our son has no gift, and her tears began to surge.
Reith watched this and it destroyed him, he felt a lot of impotence, he wanted to make his father and mother happy, and life rewarded him like this. Reith went to his room climbing the stairs.
// Reith's Diary //
April 4, 2205
I'm very excited today we're going to a safe Hospital, my mom says, where even though I don't have a gift they won't exclude me, where they won't take my mom and dad away from me, it's something I can't imagine, I don't want to be away from my parents.
April 5, 2205
Today I was diagnosed without a Gift, it's something I didn't expect, I wanted to have a gift, I wanted to make my mom and dad happy, I wanted to be a hero like Xin the Symbol of hope. I don't like this, what will I do now, there are very few who are like me.
- Mother: I don't know what we'll do, love, we couldn't give our son power, she was crying on her husband's chest.
- Father: I know what to do but we might regret this, Tania.
- Tania: Then tell me what you have in mind, John.
- John: That our son undergoes a project, they didn't tell me much but a person approached me and gave me this.
John moved away from his wife and went to look for his briefcase that was next to the sofa and when he opened it there was a brochure with the address and phone number.
- Tania: So this would be the only option? To give our son a future.
- John: It's the only way, I don't know anyone who gives gifts to children who don't have them.
- Tania: We have to do it John, I'm sure Reith will understand.
April 6, Year: 2205
Reith was waking up and saw his surroundings full of hero figures, and especially one hero, the hero Xin. But he stopped admiring when his mother enters and speaks to him.
- Tania: Reith, let's take a bath, we're taking you to a very special place with dad.
- Reith: Yes mom, I'm coming.
He gets down from the bed and goes with his mother to the bathroom.
/ Scene change /
Three people are seen in front of a somewhat old factory.
- Tania: Love, are you sure it was here?
- John: Yes, when I called they described this to me.
The conversation was interrupted when a person wearing a white coat with round glasses on his face, with chestnut-colored hair and brown eyes, comes out.
Person in coat: Hello, you must be the Kakumei family, nice to meet you, I'm García, I'll be in charge of the entire project.
/ Scene change /
Little Reith was on a hospital stretcher being carried down a hallway, his parents were at his sides.
- Reith: Mom, dad... Where are you taking me?
- Tania: Son, don't worry, everything will be quick, when you wake up you'll see us again, don't worry.
- John: Son, don't be nervous, everything will be fine, when you wake up you'll have a power.
- Reith: Really? Then I promise you that when I wake up I'm going to train it to be the best hero.
The little one gave his parents a smile full of excitement.
- Tania: And we'll support you.
Tania gives him a kiss on the forehead, and it was the last affection Reith received from his mother before getting lost in the bottom of the hallway upon entering a door.
/ In another place /
A man with long, messy red hair, and a dark old west outfit.
He was sitting, sharpening a dagger with a straight dark metal knife, and in front was a man with a thin appearance and no hair, with very little clothing, only a dirty white sleeveless shirt and his underwear.
- Red-haired man: Hello dear friend, you'll wonder who I am, well I'm known by many names but the best known is Crimson Gravitor, but to make it less complicated for you, call me Victor.
- Victim: What? Why me? I didn't do anything!
- Victor: Oh my god! Everyone says that, but well I have my methods to make you talk, don't worry it won't hurt that much.
Victor got up from the bench he was on, the white light of the moon gave a vision of the totally dark room. But all the tense and gloomy atmosphere was interrupted when an explosion occurred nearby.
- Victor: Well, lucky you! Your life is extended a bit, I'll be right back, think about whether you want to resist, it won't be very nice if you do.
Victor goes out through a door that was next to the room.
Victor sees the night before his eyes, and sees where the flames are coming from, he quickly takes a leap and is propelled as if he had no gravity on his body. In minutes Victor reaches where the flames are and sees a resplendent old factory in flames. He calmly enters the factory and while the flames spread to his being, the flames were extinguished by the man's walk with crimson hair. Before going down a path he hears some heartbreaking screams and then cries. But what disconcerted Victor is that those screams were from a little one. He hastened his pace towards where the noise was formed and the more he went in, the fire increased but the more he advanced the flames were dissipated by nothingness itself, clear demonstration of Victor's gift.
When he enters a room he sees a child with white and black hair, holding the body of a woman and this is complemented by small cries.
/ 2 hours earlier /
The little black-haired boy sees confused as they point out that he must enter a capsule almost his height, just a little bigger.
- García: Alright little one, now I'll give you an injection and we'll enter the capsule.
Reith nods to the man, The scientist smiles and then prepares the injection and injects it into the little one's shoulder when he does this. He guides Reith to the capsule and when the little one positions himself inside, the scientist places a gas mask on him that is held by an elastic band for the ears like a face mask.
- García: Alright little one, now I'll close the capsule and you'll fall asleep later, when you wake up everything will be fine, don't be nervous everything will be fine, he smiles.
- Reith: Alright sir.
Garcia presses a button next to the capsule and it closes, then speaks through a radio.
García: Start the process.
Radio: Understood.
/ 1 hour later /
García and an assistant were in front of a large window watching the capsule inside the room, and behind a machine that indicated the percentage of the experiment.
- Assistant: Sir, the process is already 90 percent complete and hasn't given any error, this will be another advance in science and we could present our project if everything goes well.
- García: I hope so Max, I hope so.
In a few minutes the percentages reached 100 percent, that was something satisfactory for the scientists so they left the protection place and called the parents so they could take their son. The parents and scientists enter the room, and go to the capsule to open it, but it wouldn't open.
- García: What's happening Max, why won't it open?
- Max: I don't know sir, I'm going to the panel to open it with the force button.
- García: Alright Max, go. Sorry about this.
- John: Don't worry, something can happen.
Max went to the control panel room, and upon entering he saw a person dressed in an infiltration suit.
- Max: Who are you, what are you doing here?
Shot, Shot.
- Infiltrator: It's nothing personal but this shouldn't come to light.
The infiltrator sees on the control panel a large button that said Abort, and he pressed it, then on the panel a 30-second countdown began.
- Infiltrator: Well, my job is done.
And in a couple of particles he disappears.
Inside the room where the scientist and the little one's parents were, the lights turned crimson red and the entrance door closed with pure metal, and a robotic voice began to sound.
García: How can this be possible, I don't believe Max has betrayed us, I can't believe this.
John: What's happening Mr. García!
García: Max pressed the abort button, everything is going to explode, we're going to die, it can't be!
Tania: Nooo! My son!
She went to the capsule and placed her hand on the window, where Reith could be seen floating in water and with his respiratory mask on his face.
And then the catastrophe occurred, the entire interior of the room exploded.
Reith opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was flames, he felt his body cold, but quickly heated up by the intensity of the flames, but the first thing he saw was his mother's body with third-degree burns. Reith with very little strength went to his mother and began to shake her to see if she was okay, but after minutes Reith understood the situation and his mind didn't accept it and he began to scream for his mother, when he stops screaming, crying is the only thing that was heard in the room. For Reith it seemed like minutes, until he felt a breeze in the room when he looks forward, he sees a Man with crimson hair and the most distinguished a reassuring smile.
Stranger: Hello little one, I know it's not a good time but will you let me help you?
The stranger extends a hand to little Reith, and Reith unconsciously gives him his hand, but before touching the little one's, he falls forward inert into unconsciousness.
/ Hours later /
A small bicolor is in a bed covered by sheets.
Reith: It was all a dream, what a bad dream
/ Silent environment /
Reith realized it wasn't his room, then Victor enters with a smile.
Victor: Oh you're awake, it's good to know that.
Reith: And my parents, I want mom and dad. Where are they?
Victor: Well kid, I'm not very good at saying these things, so I'll go straight, your parents died kid.
Reith is shocked, the only thing he did was cry. Victor rolled his eyes and gave a sigh.
Victor: How exaggerated, (he got up and started to leave the room).
But at one moment the wall on the other side was destroyed and a person comes out of there directly at Victor, in an instant Victor reacts and the subject falls to the ground as if it were an anvil falling.
Victor: Who do you think you are to break in here. (He lowers his entire body crouching and lifts the subject by the hair who apparently was being pressed by nothingness itself).
Subject: (looks at the person in front of him and his face turned pale) Mr, Mr... Gravitor. I'm sorry, I was tasked with assassinating a subject but if I knew it was you I wouldn't do it... forgive me!
Victor: Agh how noisy you are, to show you that I'm in a good mood I'll give you 20 seconds to escape, starting nooow!
Once the subject was informed of this, his body left the place as if it were a bullet, through the same wall he jumped with extraordinary force and went into the sky almost flying.
Victor: Hahaha... Do I really scare that much? Or am I ugly? (He takes a hand to his chin thoughtfully)
A little one watched this with surprise and bewilderment.
Victor: Eh, what are you looking at brat?
Reith: Eh, I... nothing sir (He lowered his head).
Victor: Relax kid, are you hungry?
Reith (Nods his head).
Victor: Well follow me.
Victor leaves the room, where the little bicolor follows him hurriedly.
"A large room is seen, where in the middle there is a pillar and tied to it a bald guy, very thin with a white sleeveless shirt, and his underwear. On the other side there is a table with two chairs and on top two plates with appetizing food"
Victor: Sorry about the view, but ignore it, your food is on that table, I'll be busy with this friend.
Reith (nervous): It's okay sir.
The little one goes to the table that is bigger than him and then climbs onto the chair to see his food.
It was a large plate where it had rice and a piece of meat with a little salad. He quickly started eating.
Here's Victor in front of the prisoner.
Victor: Hello again little friend, I'll give you more time since as you can see, I have a little hungry one here, and I'm also hungry and then I'll attend to you, I hope you've thought about it already because I don't want to do it the hard way. (He heads to where Reith is and sits in the other chair). What's your name kid?
Reith: Well sir, my name is Reith Kakumei and you?
Victor: They call me Gravitor, but my name is Victor kid.
Reith: Then sir, are you a Hero (Smiles).
Victor: Are you stupid kid, what hero has a guy kidnapped?
Reith: Oh, I didn't notice that guy... Wait you're a villain! (Reith exclaims), almost falls off his chair.
Victor: Well it seems you adore heroes, but first I'll ask you something little one, for you, what is a hero?
Reith: A hero is one who saves someone without asking for anything in return.
Victor: Then what did I do?
Reith: You... saved me (Remains in mental shock).
Victor: Well kid, you should know that the concept of villain and hero is imposed by people, for some people I'm their hero and for others a villain.
Reith: ...
Victor: It's okay think for a while (he gets up, and if you look at the plate, it's empty).
/ One day later /
Reith was walking along with Victor, both were quiet, their surroundings were a somewhat wide alley where there were many people with dark aspects.
Reith: Mr. Victor, what are we doing here (he said in a low voice)
Victor: We're going to collect some money they owe me kid, just stay behind me, and nothing will happen to you.
Reith: Okay sir.
You can see how Victor kicks the door of a house and opening the door, things around him start to alter and float.
Reith looked with clear impression in his eyes, but the next moment tension surrounded his body, as there were people who didn't look friendly.
Victor: Hello guys, please bring me your boss who owes me a good amount of money, he showed his smile.
/ Scene change /
Reith and Victor were leaving the alley, you can see two figures covered in blood and Reith in shock, his eyes were open with dilated pupils.
Victor looks towards the little one, and laughs.
Victor: Hey dwarf, don't worry about those people, those people have raped, murdered, kidnapped, robbed, and I could name too many crimes.
Reith: ...
Victor: It's okay, better for me if you don't want to talk, first I'll tell you what I'll do with you. If you have enough balls I'll train you so you can survive in this society. Do you have anything to say?
Reith: ...
*8 years later*
A white and black hair is seen doing push-ups concentrated.
-A door opens-
Victor: Hey dwarf, we have to go collect money.
Reith: Okay, who is it this time old man?
Victor: Well it's a couple of yakuza, who think they're smarter than us.
Reith gets up from the floor and is seen as adolescence has already reached him and his body completely athletic and sweaty.
Reith: Really old man, well I'll show them how wrong they are, while his eyes turned purple.
Victor: Okay brat, let me know I'll be in my room for anything.
/ Scene change /
Reith is seen this time with his outfit; with dress shoes, along with black dress pants, a long open black coat and inside a black dress vest as well, but what stood out the most was his white mask with two holes in the eyes and a smile.
He was walking as if it were normal to see someone with a mask in the middle of the avenue.
When he was about to take another step, at about 2 meters 4 masked people fell from above.
Masked Person 1: So you're the hero who saves those inepts from our government.
Reith: Hero? I've already told you I'm not a hero. To make it clear, I'll introduce myself (With an elegant step, and a fine dance, Reith throws himself forward and extends his hand like a gentleman, I am smiling along with this in the blink of an eye an external force made the masked ones fall to the ground... Oh my dear enemies, haven't you learned yet that you'll never defeat me, well I present you my quirk Expansion Gravity. It's nice, isn't it? Well we didn't come for this, I'll leave and continue my way, (he starts walking) goodbye... (Reith stands still), true I forgot what power do you have?
-Masked 1: Uh... Uh... I have the power to stretch my fingers and change their shapes
-Masked 2: I have the power to see people's powers and see my powers.
-Masked 3: I have telepathy
-Masked 4: I have super strength
-Reith: Are you kidding those powers are a joke, but you (points to number 2) that power serves me.
Reith approaches number 2 and touches him while yellow and black colored rays, after a moment Reith stopped touching the masked one. Oh how interesting a blue ball was in his hand, then he lifted his mask a little and ate it.
For Reith to see afterwards a window and see all the powers he had.
/power window/
Main power: Copy (Remaining time to copy again: 30 days)
Copied powers: gravity control (upgraded to gravity expansion), Super strength (x1.5 to base strength), Speed (x1.4 to base speed), visualize powers (upgraded to Power System)
Reith was fascinated with this new function and then thought about closing this window he was seeing and it closed.
-Reith: This is great! Well, I'll continue on my way.
Reith continued straight ahead, leaving the masked ones on the ground. After 20 meters, the masked ones stopped feeling the pressure.
-Masked 1: Let's go to the base and tell the boss.
-Masked 2: Yes.
-Masked 3: Yes, let's go.
-Masked 4: Alright.
