Morania
A country filled with beautiful places, fertile lands, and rich resources...
It has access to a sea, it has one of the best internet connections in the world, and it's not that bad to live in, in comparison to other countries.
That sums up Morania, except a little thing, that clings on it's back, it makes her weak, it makes her not progressing, but actually going back... these pests... are its people...But not just a random civilians, it's the government.
Who doesn't give two damn pennies for this Country and it's people, it only cares about their own gain.
But civilians sometimes are dumb too... they don't revolt...they either stay or go.
That's a bad mentality... but, as soon as I grew up, I understood... they couldn't do anything, even it's people didn't care about other, they wanted only themselves or their relatives to live good...
Also, in this country, as in the most others, Nepotism is a serious problem.
You can see nurses, or doctors, who work, but doesn't know jack shit about their own job, they work only because some uncle of theirs had connections...
But now, let's let these things for later, now I want to tell you, my story.
A story about how I come to change.
My name is Nate, I'm sixteen years old, and I'm in high school, this is my first semester, in grade 9.
I lived my life, mostly bullied by others, up until high school.
Even if not physically, since I fought back, but mentally, everyone made me their own source of confidence.
They took it..and took it...and took it... until for me, it was gone, I didn't have anything left.
I was to shy to fight back mentally or Physically.
Did you heard the Phrase, "It will eventually come their turn" or "People cheating in life, won't go far"?
I heard it pretty frequently, but as I found out, the people telling me that, they were wrong.
The kid that is cheating on its exams? He got in the best high school he wanted, and still managed to stay in it.
The teacher who gave marks, not on how good your paper was, but how much money your parent gave?
They weren't stopped and made a fortune.
The kids who bullied you? Who you wanted to fight back? But soon as you fought back, you were punished by the teacher, because you did so and didn't try talking to them, even though you already did that, and they didn't do anything.
Yes, life is unfair.
But I managed somehow to live my life, my parents are dead, and I live alone with my little sister.
I didn't want to go to an orphanage home since my sister and I would be separated, not only that, I wouldn't trust these since I heard they don't treat kids pretty well.
Because of how these country doesn't really care about small rules, I could find some black markets jobs, until I turned 16 when I took a legal job.
I and my sister live in the flat of my parents, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a small bathroom
Good thing it was bought, and not rented since I only have to pay the bills, food expenses, and school money, I could manage.
As I said, my name is Nate Moga, I'm sixteen years old, I have dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a kind of a fit body, I guess, since mostly all of my life I worked in the black marked, doing body stressing jobs.
My sister name is Maria. She is in Middle school, in grade 8.
And she is fourteen years old.
My relationship with her is kind of a mix of coldness and warmth.
I understand her emotions... how she feels about our deceased parents, and how she feels living this pathetic life... because I can't make enough money to start living like before, so now, we are kind of low-class civilians.
In my years of life, because I couldn't make any friends, I started watching shows, reading manga and book and watching anime.
An anime that I loved, was Dragon Ball, even as I am now, I can just hop in my bad, leaving all my worries, and begin watching Goku pummelling Freeza to the ground.
In all of the history of Dragon Ball, my favorite moment is when Goku transforms for the first time in a Super Saiyan.
And of course, I would begin to mimic Goku, to let my frustration go.
I still wonder, how nice would it be, if I could be a Sayian, and could transform in a Super Saiyan.
Oh well, that would be nice in a dream, I guess.
I should start learning lucid dreaming, I chuckled.
Now, let's start my story... where future began...and also where past ended, where the change had its mark on me.
-
September 18, Monday.
"A new year for me, a new life, I could make friends, finally, I could start from the top, not the bottom !"
I said, with a glimmering light of hope into my eyes.
"Stop daydreaming and get ready, you idiot! " Said Maria, with an angry voice.
"You are there for 30 minutes, what are you even doing? "
She said while he banged on the door with her fist.
I was in the bathroom, trying to get ready for my first of high school, but because of the excitement, I kind of forgot that my sister would start school as well, and I lost the motion of time.
"Get out before I get you off there, we have only 30 minutes left, and I didn't even wash my face" Again, Maria said with a voice that was even angrier than before.
" I get it, I get it," I said, while I got out of the bathroom.
" I just-"I couldn't finish what I said, because Maria rushed into the bathroom, closing the door on my nose.
"Well, that's not too friendly" I exclaimed.
"Well, staying in the bathroom for over 30 minutes isn't friendly either-"
"What the hell is this smell?! "
"Yeah, sorry 'bout that," I said while I rushed back to my bedroom, to change my clothes.
"You..!"
I put on a gray t-shirt, a white jacket, and jeans.
And I got ready to exit my apartment.
" Maria, bye and take care of you, "I said while I opened the flat's door.
"You too"
I smiled
"Don't forget to close the door" as soon as I said these words, I looked at the watch...
"Fu*k!"
"It's already 7:50 ..."...
I rushed down the stairs and got out the apartment block.
Looking through my phone's GPS map, to see where my high school is located.
"There"
I began running faster than ever, so I could not make a bad impression on the first day of school.
As I ran, I saw an old man, trying to get his spilled items from the pavement, into his bag.
From my early years of life, until now, I was taught to be good to everyone, and that made a huge mark on me since most people abused my kindness.
"Oh dammit," I cursed in my mind.
But I stopped running, and began helping the old man put his items on his bag, the strange thing, they were mostly food, but that wasn't the strange thing, the strange thing was that they were in large quantity.
As I and the old man finished, he looked at me, deeply in the eyes, and thanked me.
He had put his hand on my head and told me
"Son, what is your deepest desire? "
"Well, nothing hehe," I said with an easy look.
But deep down, even deepest that I wanted my parents revived, was my deepest desire, since I was a kid.
"Hmph, well have a nice day," The old man said with a quick laugh, while he took his bags.
"Don't you want me to help you with that?" I said, while looking at the man's huge bags, even though a young adult could carry these bags with some difficulty, he is an old man.
"No thanks, I needed some exercise anyway," he said, while he nonchalantly took the bags, and started going from that place.
I stared at him, while he slowly disappeared from my view.
"What a strange guy.."
"I'm really stupid," I said while I looked at my phone's watch.
"I need to hurry! "
I rushed again.
After 10 minutes or so, I arrived at the high school.
As I guessed, the grounds were empty.
So I entered block B of the high school, but I got lost, and oh, well, I was in the wrong block, so I entered block A and finally found my class.
As I entered, everyone's gazes fell upon me.
"He-Hello," I said, while the color of my face, began changing from a pale white to a crimson red.
" Hello, you arrived pretty late," the homeroom teacher told me.
"I know, and I'm sorry, I stumbled upon some thin-"
"It doesn't matter now, please take that seat" The woman pointed me to the back of the class, to a double person desk.
But..it was empty...
It seems I won't have a desk friend... I thought while I approached my seat.
"Now, as I was talking before the interruption took place".
"Please tell me your name and age "
As people began speaking up... they arrived on me, the gazes of the teens were on me.
"My name is Nate Moga, I'm sixteen years old..."
I said while looking at the homeroom teacher.
"Well now that we had our presentation, you can take your books and leave."
Deep down, even though I wanted to make friends, I couldn't, due to my experiences in the past, I started to have trust issues.
As I took my books, I noticed that there was another package of books, even though I'm the last person to take the books.
I didn't give it too much importance, so I went back to my desk, took my schoolbag, and left the class.
"Well, alone in the first day," I said with a few sights.
I walked home, I changed and made some food, and turned my PC on.
"Oh, a new episode of Mob Psycho, well, let's watch.."
As time passed, my sister got home.
"Hi," she said with, while she took off her shoes.
"Hi, how was school? "
"As always, boring"
"Really? Nothing new happened?" I said while I looked at her.
"Nope," Maria said after some seconds, while a red blush was seen on her face.
"I made some spaghetti, you should try them," I said, while seeing her face, maybe she saw some handsome guy, anyway, I don't think it's the best idea asking her about it, especially now, knowing her, I might get punched.
"Thanks, Nate, next time I will make the food"
"You don't need to do that"
"Only you made the food after the accident-, after the accident.." Maria said while she looked at the floor.
I got up from my chair and hugged her.
"You don't need to think about it, also if you really want to help me, I could teach you some time"
"Now forget these thoughts and go eat."
"Thanks, sob, Thanks, Nate," Maria said while she hugged me.
After some two hours passed, it was time for me to go to my "new" job.
Even though is not a new one. I work at the same place I worked before, but I managed to make the company give a contract.
I put my working clothes on, went out of the apartment, doing a little jogging, while I'm at it, a little warm-up before doing my job.
Which as you guessed, it's mostly moving stuff, but sometimes I'm put doing some other things.
At first, it was hard, but now, because I have experience and strength withing moving heavy stuff. It's more easy for me.
As I jogged through the city, I heard a loud noise coming out from nowhere.
In the middle of the road, a truck was coming at full speed at the crosswalk, straight to an old person...
I hesitated no more... even if I knew it would kill me, deep down, I think I wanted to die, I wanted to be free of responsibilities...
But as my body was moving on its own, I remembered something...
My sister.
How would she survive? How would she cope with the fact that I died too?
I only have her, and she only has me, we are orphaned siblings, who must rely on each other to survive... if one of us were to die, the other would have been devastated...
But it's too late at this point... my body just moved alone, pushing the old man out of the way of the truck.
I saw the light, and two figures in it...
"Come, join us, Nate, it will be alright..."
"NO! Maria...i can't let her be alone!"
"It's too late now Nate, now come on..."
"NOOO!"
I yelled, while into the white background, red lines were beginning to form... turning back to reality... I barely saw my body... it was a mess... I couldn't even feel the pain...i couldn't breathe...but the thing that scared me the most was that the body of mine, was 1 meter away for me, with no head...
And I just stood there, helpless... I couldn't even move my eyes...
It's over.
But as soon as I thought these words, everything began rewinding... my head just pulled back together with my body, I was reconstructing myself.
The truck was again in the initial position, as I and the old man were.
It was strange, everything was stopped...well not everything... I realized sooner.
The old man was moving, he raised from the ground, with a serious look on his face.
He began walking to me... while he started to laugh.
"Well, you passed the test, my dear Nate..."
"Now, here's the thing."
I couldn't say anything, even if I could, I didn't want to.
If this person could move in this stopped time...if this person could laugh...it means it's powerful...
"You have two choices, either start from again from here, going to your job, like always, I mean, live your life normally.
Or get something right now, because you gave your life for me.
What's your pick?
I thought for some seconds, and then I told him.
"Is there something behind the second option?"
"None at all my dear Nate, I would give you something nice, that, if you wanted, could change your life 360 degrees around.
"Well then... what would you give me ?" I said with a frightened but curious look.
"Your deepest desire," the man said with a grin.
I felt intense pain, in every area of my body... I literally began reconstructing my body.
"Now now, don't cry, I'm sure you can get through that," The man said
"Arghh!"
After a minute, my body was reconstructed.
Ding!
"The Change is now in a symbiotic relationship with the host.
You can't live without me, and I can't live without you!."
As I looked at the screen in my eyes, I looked at the tabs.
Profile| Abilities | Shop | Points [ ? ]
"What the hell!"
"Is this the heaven?" I thought to myself.
"No...this is my second chance.."
As I looked at my profile, I saw a picture of me and some stats.
Host: Nate Moga
Race: Sayian
Strength: Fit Human
Speed: Average Human
Will: Above average Human.
"Wait... Sayian...is it true? "
Ding!
Yes, host, that is true, but also, as a nice symbiotic I am, I would give you a welcome gift, here it is !"
Ding!
The host got a gift, do you want to open it?
YES | NO
"YES"
Ding!
"Super Saiyan transformation acquired"
"You can check it on abilities"
As I moved my finger trough abilities, I found different tabs.
I pressed the Super Saiyan one, and it redirected me through a skill tree.
"Super Saiyan Level 1 ( Grade 1 ) ."
"The mighty legend...the mighty champion it was said a Super Saiyan would arise every 1000 years, eventually it had become a bargain sale."
"So Nate, I don't need any thanks, but I need to tell you, transform now, after a minute, I will start the time again, and as you can see, the man who is driving the truck had a heart attack, and I usually don't interfere in moral issues.
"I will try then!"
"Change how do I activate the Super Saiyan transformation ! ?"
"Host, you need to focus on your anger, to make it so it will fill you up, and again, you will need to focus even harder at that feeling, the feeling of anger.
I began, I began focusing... on all my years of life...on the death of my parents, on the bullying, I got, on everything...
"AGH!AAHAHAHAH!AHAHAHAH!" I scremead out in pain.
I felt a huge burst inside of me...
I felt this power, and I embraced it.
DING!
Super Saiyan was activated for the first time!
Since it's just level 1, Super Saiyan will have a limit of 2 times a day, and a random time limit!"
As my hair was raising, and my hair turned blonde, saw in the corner of my eyes a message.
Usage Limit: 1 left.
Time Limit: 10 Minutes.
As I saw that, the old man disappeared and the time began flowing again.
I didn't hesitate, I used all of my force to rush to the truck...
In my perspective, I arrived there in an instant, even though it was like 10 meters away from me.
I put a hand on the door, and with all my force, I drew as hard as I could, and the door was separated by the truck in no time.
I rapidly got in the driver's truck and pressed the brake as much as I could, while I took the driver out the driver's seat, releasing his leg, from the acceleration.
The truck stopped after some seconds, I got the handbrake up and took the driver out the truck, and I put him into the sidewalk.
"Hey you !" i yelled at a person.
"Call the ambulance, this man had a heart attack!"
As I said that, I looked at the gazes of everyone.
But I didn't stay there for long, I rushed through the alleys, making myself scarce.
"Holy shit... I really am a Super Saiyan... well I don't know my limits, but I do know that this transformation, makes me at least 50x stronger, in almost every aspect."
But, I stopped from running, since I concluded I'm pretty far from any human eye and looked at the horizon...
"Change, your name is not chosen wrong... I will surely change!"I just looked at the blue horizon, daydreaming about my future...
"Oh shit, I'll be late for work..."
