Chapter 1 - New Super Power?

"Milk delivery!" Drew's bicyckle bell jingled as he parked at a dilapidated house.

 His expression scrunched up. How could such an apartment exist in this present world?

 It was made of brown worn out bricks. Apart from the wooden door, the walls were cleaved apart.

 "Come in!" an old voice replied.

 "Uh, okay" Drew checked the GPS on his watch.

 He was sure this was the place where the customer who ordered milk stayed.

 Hoisting up a packet of milk from the basket on tied to the bicycle, he walked briskly towards the apartment.

 Bang!

 He gave the door a gentle push. But accidently, it flew out of the door pane.

 "Sheesh!" Drew bit his tongue.

 "It's okay. It's been a long time since we had visitors" the apartment occupant laughed.

 He was an old man dressed in tank tops, bermuda shorts and a fisher man hat.

 He was seated on a stool, steering tea in the cup he held.

 "I brought your milk" Drew flashed the milk.

 A gentle but invisible force hoisted up the milk, bringing it towards the old man.

Drew wasn't all that shocked. In this current era, a special race of beings existed.

 The Elites!

 They were capable of inhuman feats and were respected in the society. They were like gods!

 "Sir Elite, that milk costs five dollars. But i'll give you a fifty percent.. no eighty percent discount" Drew's tone became respectful.

 "Hohoho. What a funny kid. I like you" the old man stroked his chin.

 "Sit"

 A chair materialized besides Drew. Before he could react, he found himself already seated.

 Whoa! Elites were so powerful!

 "My name is Elrado. I am a Pinnacle" the old man raised his arms proudly.

 "Pinnacle? Is that a hero name or what?"

 "Kid. I am what you folks refer to as a god" Elrado huffed.

 "A god? you?" Drew's lips arched into a crescent.

 "Expecting more? expected to see me in shiny armour that can blind mortal eyes? with glowing eyes and a majestic air?" Elrado laughed.

 "Uhm. Sort of. You look like a fisher man to me" Drew shrugged.

"Hmph. What do you know about fashion" Elrado huffed in annoyance.

 He snapped his fingers and a pair of ear rings materialized, floating mid air.

 "I don't have much money right now for those milk, so accept these ear rings as compensation" the ear rings shot towards Drew, floating just few inches away from his face.

 "Sure. I'll just re sell these. I can gain a couple of bucks from em" Drew grabbed the ear rings, stowing them into his pocket.

 He bidded the old man good bye and hurried out.

 "Bro. Have you seen the news yet?" Drew just got into his one room apartment when someone rushed towards him, shoving a smart phone at his face.

 "Freaking hell, chillax man" Drew took a step back.

 "How can i chillax? that bitch needs to pay!" Diego roared.

 Diego was Drew's childhood friend and they both rented the apartment together. Diego was a taxi man with an average weekly income of five hundred bucks.

 "What bitch?" Diego noticed that his best friend was fuming.

"Your girlfriend Angela man! she was caught being rocked by a celebrity. Damn! They even kissed!!" Diego clenched his jaw as he spoke.

 "What?!" Drew snatched the phone and watched the video that was playing on the screen.

 Diego was right! he saw his girlfriend kissing another man while also being groped.

 Damn! and he even bought an engagement ring on his way back from work!!

 Just at that moment, his phone rang in his pocket. He checked the caller ID.

 It was Angela.

 "Hello?" he answered the call.

 "Hey listen up loser. I want a break up!" Angela's shrill voice rang from the other end.

 Drew felt a thunder clap in his heart. Although he anticipated it, he couldn't help but fall to his knees.

 "But.. But why?" his voice came out croaked.

 "Hmfph! why? you're too broke okay? plus you are just a loser. News flash, i even awakened as a Deviant and got myself a pretty capable boyfriend" Angela harped from over the phone.

"From here on out, we are two different people. Our social status is mountains apart. You are just a pathetic loser, unworthy of.."

 Angela couldn't complete her words because Drew unknowingly lost grip of the phone.

 But he was completely unbothered. Angela's taunting words constantly ringing in his head.

 His breathing began to slow down and his hearing sensitivity slowed down too. He felt his whole world spinning. Oxygen began to escape from him.

 "I.." he slumped down.

 Beep! Beep! Beep!

 "Is he dead?"

 "Propably. I'm not picking up any life signatures"

 "He might just be in coma. Let him be"

 "No! you have to save my friend! you have to!"

 Drew heard multiple voices. Somehow he could hear them, but couldn't open his mouth.

 All what he saw around him was endless darkness. He heard the voices for a period of time.

 Then they stopped. Silence. He was all alone.

 He felt scared. Was this how it was going to be forever? Eternal darkness and silence?

It was killing!

 Then for the first time in a long time, he heard a voice. It sounded so close.

 "Gaaah!" Drew gasped as his eyes flew open.

 He noticed some strange chords connecting his wrist to a series of confusing looking machines.

 "I'm in a hospital?" Drew sniffed in the nauseous sulphur scent in the air.

 At that moment, a screen appeared before his eyes.

 "Holy molly!" his eyes brightened.

 Did he just awaken as a Deviant?!

 "Is my power the ability to project a screen? what is it used for? to defend against attacks?"

 Just as he was curious, a row of words appeared on the screen.

-[Due to host using the system for the first time, host shall recieve the below rewards]

 "Huh? what sort of super power is this huh? Did i awaken as a cyborg type Deviant? pretty cool"  Drew decided to check out the first reward.

 Lucky Spin!

 A spin wheel appeared on the screen. There were various segments on it.

 The wheel began to spin. Drew watched curiously as the arrow pointed towards 'CASH'

 "This super power is fvcking cool yeah?" he quickly checked the second reward.

-[Energy has decreased by -2]

 "Energy? is that my ability to do work? i thought i was a cyborg!" Drew wondered.

-[Yes you are a cyborg. But the most perfect of them all. A cyborg Node] a female voice rang in his ear.

 "Who?!" he glanced around.

 Apart from him, the whole ward was empty.
