Talent In A World With Heroes and Gates
2014. 5:00 Am.
Under the still dark sky, a silhouette was jogging around the block in black sweatpants and a sweatshirt, despite the darkness hiding most of his features his almost vibrantly glowing gold eyes could be seen sharp and focused.
“I love, I love, I love…” the man was quietly singing, his headphones laid over his hoodie, noise cancelling of course, a beloved feature.
The man, keenly aware of the danger of ANC headphones was constantly surveying the road, wary of cars. Unaware of the massive incoming meteor that was plummeting at a speed so fast it was like a blur.
*boom*
Just like that, a man, crushed under the weight of at least 100,000 pounds was made into meat paste, sadly missing out on the evolution of Earth.
[Planet Z267-B3, “Earth” has been inducted. Good Luck]
From that moment on people started awakening left and right,
[You have awakened S-ranked skill, god speed, you move at incredible speeds.]
[You have awakened D rank skill, Tech Savvy, you are exceptionally good with technology]
…
However, unknown to the rest of the world, a man, well meatpaste, received a talent as well, one so broken it was unheard of.
[…Skill awakened: The Talented, you are the talented one, the pinnacle of all genius, what a one in ten quadrillion genius can achieve throughout a lifetime, you achieve in a blink.]
“…” the once man, now meatpaste felt his bones, flesh, and blood slowly reconvene, the boulder, the cause of the evolution cracked and revealed him, Alexios Bornhunter, the talented one.
