A world where half of the population possess special abilities. It was a world filled with superheroes and supervillains.
I was just a ordinary 20 year old man, living a... ordinary life .
After finishing my part time job, i returned home. There was no one to greet me. There was only the silence of the dead.
As usual, i took a shover and returned to my room.

Max stood in front of the mirror and watched as water droplets dripped from his silver colour hair and slid down his muscular body.
"...what."
Max muttered to himself and shook his head. After drying his hair and wearing pajamas, he returned to his bed and opened his phone.
"Let's see what's in the news."
'Hero vs villain international competition, first round has been successfully completed. Let's see who win this....'
"Damn it...fu*k."
Max turned off his phone and his eyes become bloodshot .
"This world is fu*ked."
"Damn it ..i can't sleep anymore."
Max stood up from bed and went outside. There was a garden in house,well maintained and filled with different type of flowers.
*SWOOSH* *SWOOSH*
After watching the flower plants swaying in the night air, max calmed down.
He sat on a bench and looked at the starry sky , it was the night of the full moon.
'Wow, moon is so beautifull today. I wish it crashed down on earth and destroy it.
There was a clear reflection of moon in his blood red pupils...and it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger every second.
"Did...my wish got accepted."
*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*
"HA ...HA HA ...HA HA HA..."
*SWOOSH* *SWOOSH*
The previous gently swaying flower plants started to dance wildly in the night air.
Max kept laughing like a mad man as he saw the legendary superheroes and supervillains, flying towards approaching moon to halt it, But alas...they were just mere mortals against the terrifying power of nature.
Max opened turned on his phone and opened the photo of a young girl, with similar age and looks to Max.
*DRIP* *DRIP*
"This sinful world got what it deserved."
The image in his phone got blurry as warm tears rolled down on his face.
Max kept looking at his phone while earth headed to it's destruction.
In just a few minutes, a huge planetery explosion erupted. Along with moon, whole solar system was in chaos, every planet going out of there orbit and colliding with eatch other.
*SWOOSH* *BOOM* *BOOM*
*CLANK* *CRASH* *BOOM*
Suddenly Max saw a glowing object rapidly heading towards him.
'Ahh...what a beautiful moon...truly beautiful.'
*Boooooooooom*

( Max's pov )
'Hmm..'
After i died due to cosmic cleansing, i lost all my senses, vision, hearing, touch...and suddenly gained them all back again.
'But where am i right now, i'm preety sure i died. Why am i not in hell?'
'Where am i ?'
I looked at the never ending red landscape around me.
'it looks like empty red space. Maybe this is hell.'
Before i could even think more about it, a powerful force pulled me towards a massive red swirling portal.
My soul got sucked away inside the portal and i could finally see with my umm...soul.
I was floating above a few meters of suface. There were lush green trees surrounding the area where i was teleported.
From it's atmosphere,It looked like planet earth.
'So, i'm preety sure but...this is another world.'
'How did i reach this conclusion ?'
'Simple, because i saw earh getting crushed myself and....'

Max raised his hand towards the dark sky and pointed his finger at a red huge flying dragon.
"That...is a western red dragon."
"Maybe...i got caught up in some spatial fluctuation and end up here."
Max looked at his surroundings and started to fly in certain direction, hoping to find a open area.
After searching for a while, Max saw a clear area, with a village like structure.
Max stopped at the boundary of the forest.
'Now what...should i haunt villagers, since i'm a ghost now.'
"__"
As Max was busy thinking, his gaze suddenly stopped at a strange man, just s few meter away lying on the ground.
*GASP* *GASP*
"What a interesting fellow. He looks similar to me, except these wolfish ears and tail."
"And his whole body is blue...maybe some type of poisoning. He isn't going to live for more than five minutes. Interesting...Interesting.."
As the dying man kept suffering on the ground, Max was only interested in analyzing his otherworldly body.
Afterall Max was not new to this type of sight, someone dying in public space was norm in his previous world too.
After few minutes, the man finally got still.
Max was busy trying to touch his fluffy ears and tail, but was not successful in doing so.
*CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*
Just as the man died, Max's soul, once again felt a strong pull and got sucked inside the dead body.
"Wh-What is happening again."
As max opened his eyes again, he understood what happened.
"Now...i have possessed a dead body."
Max streached his hand in front of him and clenched his fist.
"Wow it's even more powerful than my og body. As expected of a werewolf i guess."
"Ahhh....what the fu*k, ughh...i almost forgot this body is still poisoned."
" Sh*t...my whole body feels like it's on fire. It's my first time getting poisoned."
Somehow i managed to sit down properly with the support of a tree.
*HUFF* *HUFF*
'UGHH ...Ahh... i'm going to die again because of this pain.'
As the burning sensation in my body kept intensifying, i was rolling on the fallen leaves , clenching my fists, trying my best to hold on.
[ DING!!!!!! ]
[ ALERT !! ALERT !! SYSTEM IS AWAKENING ]
[ 10%..30%...70%...]
As soon as heard the mechanical voice in my head, a transparent floating screen with blue interface appeared in front of my eyes.
[ ...100%]
[ DINGGGGG!!!!]
[ SYSTEM HAS AWAKENED SUCCESSFULLY]
_____________________________________
Soon the system awakening process ended and i recieved some notification.
[ WARNING!! HOST IS ABOUT TO DIE ]
[ DETOXYFYING HOST'S BODY ...]
Suddenly a red aura surrounded my body and i felt like my body temerature was getting normal.
Soon i felt like my body was filled with energy .
[ Ding! DITOXYFICATION SUCCESSFULL ]
Although my body felt in best condition, i still decides to inspect it for any hidden injury or something...just to be sure. As well as, i inspected if there was anyone else nearby.
After confirming that i was alone in the outskirts of this village, i decided to ask my system about things that i was curious about.
"Hey system."
[ Yes, Host. I'm At Your Sevice.]
"Can you tell me where i am right now ?"
[Sorry, Host. But I Also Don't know About That.]
"__"
["__"]
I was speechless .
'Aren't systems supposed to be guide of traversers, why is my system different.'
'Is my system defective. No, Maybe it used all of it's energy in saving my life...sigh, i don't know.'
'Well...it dosn't matter. I can find out about this world by myself.'
"So, my system...tell me what you are and who created you."
'i can't take any risk's anymore. I'm already in this situation because of my reckless wish.'
'Although i don't regret it, but this life is precious...more precious than anyone else's.'
'I know some systems are good, in the novels thant sis used to read, but sometimes they are used by ah hidden entity to manipulate people.'
[ Ding!! Dear Host, I'M Not A Different Entity. I. Am. You .]
'Okay...i don't know anymore. This is not the answers i was expecting. But at the very least , its not the worst answer.'
"What do you mean by this ?"
[ Ding! Host , I'm The Manifestation Of Your Soul's Unique Power. Only You Can See Me.]
[Because Of This World's Special Energy , Your Soul Awakened A Unique Power That Was Doormant Inside You. I AM IT'S VIRTUAL MANIFESTATION.]
I carefully listened to the system's explanation and understood a few thing's.
'First, this world also has some type of special energy that help people awaken their unique power's.'
'maybe every person in this world has some kind of special powers. Since it can awaken even my power, who was a normie in my own world.'
'Well, i might be wrong but...let's foucus on my on power now. Since, i'm already in a unknown world, it's better if i have some kind of insurance.'
"So...what kind of power i have awakened, is it poison detoxification."
'Although, it's not a bad power, but it's not going to help me much if some wild animal attack me. Afterall, i'm not sure how strong a werewolf man is.'
[ Ding!!! HOST, You Can See Your Unique Power Information, Just Say "STATUS". AFTER ACTIVATING STATUS, YOUR POWER WILL BE LEARNED. ]
"__"
"so cliche."
'Even through i said that, i'm really excited about this. But first, let't try this.'
Instead of talking, i just thought in my mind..
'STATUS'
DING!!!
'Good , i don't have to say it loudly. I can just talk to system and summon my status screen, by thinking about it...Convenient.'

"Wait...something is wrong, something is seriously wrong here . Arn't traverser supposed to clear quest after quest to become stronger."
"Not that i'm complaining or anything but...hey system, why are all my stats max already. Am i supposed to be the strongest being or something now."
[ YES, HOST. YOUR ALL STATS ARE ( ∞ ). AND YOU MIGHT BE THE STRONGEST BEING NOW.]
[ AS TO WHY YOU GAINED THIS POWER. I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED. YOUR SOUL ALREADY POSSESSED THIS POWER , IT JUST MANIFESTED AFTER COMING TO THIS WORLD.]
"Damn...what should i do now. Should i become ruler of omniverse or destroy everything."
'I gained the unimaginable power so suddenly that i don't even know how to use it.'
"But is there any reason for me to do those grand things. If i can revive my sister by using this power, then i will do that first."
'But first thing first, let's see, if i can use this INSTANT TELEPORTATION to go back to my original world.'
I thought about the house, where i lived and instantly the forest-like scenary in front of me changed into space filled with dust and gas.
'So...this unverse is where my home was. I can't even recognize it anymore.'
I slowly teleported inside the gas clouds and felt...nothing.
"There is no living being here...anymore. In the end human civilization ended...so easily, so effortlessly. They couldn't resist at all."
_______________________________
Max covered his mouth with his right hand, sadness could be seen inside his eyes. But if someone observed carefully, they would see his streaching lips forming a creepy smile.
"Ha..Haha...HaHaHa. Finally those annoying bastards , son of bitches, got what they deserved."
'I'm not a psycopath or sociopath but ...they deserved this. All those fuckers, i should have done this myself but i was too weak.'
Max looked at the blood red Gas filled space with melancholy.
"Big sister...i'm sorry, i couldn't fullfill my promise. But those people...all of them got what they deserved."
Max thought about his sister and teleported again.
"So this is the place, where she got reincarnated."
It was the same planet where Max's soul was sucked away. Max watches from far away in space as his sister lived her peaceful life.
Max travelled to different places on this planet called CRUSELLO.
He occasionally observed his sister's life as well.
"She might have already forgotten about her past life."
She was reborn as a female golden dragon, who later became the leader of her clan.
________________________________________
80 YEARS LATER
Max finished checking on his sister, and decided that there was no need to check on her anymore. Since, with her strength, there mightn't be anyone on this continent who can harm her.
"She has got her new family now."
"It's time to move on for me too."
Max has already travelled to almost every continent now, but he was not satisfied with his life.
"What's the point of having so much power, if i can't even have the very thing, that i desired the most....family."
"Maybe, it's time for me to use some of my new powers, to properly intigrate in the world of living once again."
Max streached his arm in front of him and said, "[ TIME REWIND - 80 YEARS ]"
[DING!! TIME REVERSAL INITIATED]
[DING!! INFINITE RANGE TIME REVERSAL ]
As Max used his time affinity magic, the river of time started to flow in reverse direction, till it reached the desired point in...time.
Some mighty powers in world also felt the disturbance, in the river of time.
