Chapter I : I am X - The Source
It was a wonderful day. August 20, 2030. The wind blows very strong, it was raining outside and right now I am getting bored. I am X, well that’s what they call me. I am currently 20 years old. My hobby? Nothing, I’m just a nobody no athletic capabilities, very weak and lazy. My daily routine is just cleaning my room before eating my meal. Most of the time I am watching tutorials online. I’m a kind of fond with martial arts and other stuffs. Logical puzzles and everything. But it wasn’t suit me. Based from my capabilities. You might say that I contradict myself being a lazy and yet I used to clean my room. It’s just that I can’t stand to see dust in my room. Come to think of it. I’ve forgotten to mention that I am all alone in my home. I have a lot of friends outside but most of the time I just want to stay at home. I can cook my own meal so I can say that I am independent. I go outside to buy stuffs relevant for my daily necessities.
It was all started one night when I was asleep. A noise outside was so loud that it disturbed my sleep.
What is that sound just now? I exclaimed!
I got curious so I turned the lights on and I decided to look into it. I open the door and rush from the source of that noise. It was dark outside but suddenly a light took my attention. Beside the tree in my yard there was something moving. Suddenly that thing moved fast toward me. So fast that I couldn’t see until it got closed and knocked me out unconsciously. The next day I found myself in my bed when I wake up. Still a bit dizzy, flashes of memories engraved in my mind. Something has changed and I can feel it. I moved forward in front of my mirror. My physical feature changed, the weak and lazy me was gone. I couldn’t believe myself what I see now. All I can say is that it happened after that night.
The next morning I wear my fav hoodie and decided to buy ingredients and stuffs outside. I stride but before I turn to an alley I heard a scream of a women being robbed. I also see someone in the window looking at the situation. The women was quite young, long hair and beautiful. The robber has a herculean figure. The robber didn’t notice me yet. I have a plan and thinking to attack the robber in a surprise then my body moved its own. I attacked the robber, first disarming the knife. Grabbed his wrist, smacked him on the ground and finish him with a single blow enough to knock him out. The women was saved, no casualty what so ever. She thanked me. I tied the robber with his own clothes and before I leave I asked the women if she could lend me some pen and paper. The police will arrive here soon we should leave a note for the police to spice things up. (I said it with a joke) the women laugh and lend me the pen and paper.
In the note it says.
Dear sir police officer, who ever you are. This is the robber who committed the robbery. Please do arrest him. There was a person who witnessed the event in that window if you look up in front of you. Have a nice day!
X.
When I got home. The incident was on the news. I never thought that it was being recorded. Is that me? Come to think of it. Since when did I have that agility? Then I recall the scenario from that night. Is it because of that?
Voice: Did you like it? The power?
X: Huh! Who’s there? Who are you? Show yourself!
Voice: I’m you, you are me, to be exact we are one now. I’m the source. A power given to you. You are destined to have this power. When the time comes you will unlock your full potential. I am currently weak right now and needs a slumber. There are many people who has been granted by the source. You are one of the few. Different kinds of abilities and power spread across all around the world. One day you will face them.
X: What do you mean the source? What power?
Source: You’ve changed haven’t you? You can see the physical changes in your body. Its not that your body have changed. You will unlock it and will adapt eventually to the changes. When you’ve faced the robber earlier. It was your power that activates. You think and your body moved on its own. Well that is what you think. But actually it was the things recorded in your mind from the past. The martial arts that you’ve learn. You already have that. I the source help you to apply what you’ve already learnt. Since you have me and we are one now. That is how you did that.
X: I see so that’s how it is.
Source: As I’ve said it is just a chunk of your powers ability. But eventually you will adapt and learn new things from your power moving forward. Right now that’s all I have to say.
With the source’s last words. It fades and gone. The voice vanished.
