Kapitel 28: Shock, disbelief, disappointment
After the shopping spree Emma went on, we called it a day.
By the time I got home, it was already 9.
Once I got home and greeted everyone, I took a nice, long shower. Then, I put on comfortable Panama's and loaded up my laptop while in my bed.
That was a plus of having a laptop. It was portable and you could use it in a comfortable position.
When it finally loaded, I turned on the VPN and loaded up the deep web torrent.
The familiar black screen popped up, and I quickly typed the password. I hit enter and waited for the links to show.
Luckily, my internet wasn't as garbage as the schools. Before I knew it I was already clicking the links and watching or reading whatever popped up.
Like the dark web, drugs and weapons were sold. However, the deep web had a lot more variety when it came to these. Drugs I never heard of showed up often and there were even weapons of mass destruction.
There were also files on incredibly famous people. The files listed the fucked up shot they did and even had their bounty.
You could also accept a mission to kill them.
Before I knew it, I had scrolled through more than forty of the thousands of pages.
Over two hours passed by.
It was late and, being a school night; I thought I should go to bed. So, being responsible, I hovered the mouse pointer and the 'X' and was about to click when something popped up.
[You Are Invited.]
There was a link on the page that popped up. I was curious and scared. 'Who sent this?' The thought of someone being able to track me made me shiver in fear. I knew that clicking the link would have a likely chance of getting in me in trouble.
However, my curiosity got the best of me. I clicked the link.
I waited for a couple of seconds for the new page to load. But those seconds felt like minutes. 'What could this page be?'
My questions were soon answered. A black, white and purple page popped up. The title of the page was [Secrets].
Like before, there were multiple links. However, there was only two pages of them.
My tiredness quickly went away and was replaced by curiosity.
Link by link. Video by video and text by text. I read and watched everything and paid attention to everything. I watched and read everything but four links.
So far, the things I've learned shocked me. Who assassinated the most famous presidents. Secrets behind religions and theories. Even how to summon demons.
I was still sceptical about the demon summoning part but I made note to try it out. What's the worst that would happen? It wouldn't work? It
would be disappointing but I wouldn't care much.
I then clicked and watched last few links.
Immediately after finishing the contents on the pages, my eyes widened and I was left shocked, in disbelief, and even disappointed.
I wasn't the only one with superpowers.
Shock because I thought I was the only one with powers. Not once in my old life did I hear about people running around with powers. Disbelief came next. And after that, disappointment. My only advantage in this life, superpowers, wasn't special to only me.
One read wasn't enough for me. So I went back and reread it.
Overall, the contents were about when and where the first superpowered humans showed up.
Apparently, humans with powers started showing up recently. Only two hundred years ago. The first human with powers was born in England. Her family, who witnessed her levitating, reported it to the government. Confused and scared that their daughter was possessed.
The government was in awe. They experimented on the child and since she was young, they killed her family to make sure nothing about what they dubbed 'awakened' people got to the news.
Later on, people with abilities started popping up more frequently. However, even then, the government could keep track of everything. After all, even to this date, only around one million people are awakened. Which seems a lot but pales compared to the over 7 billion people on earth.
The governments all around the world also have control of more than half of the awakened.
Awakened are used as military, secret service, or even people trained to be leaders of companies they use, to get in contact with more awakened.
How would I could I tell if anyone was awakened? I couldn't. The contents even explained that the only reason the government could gather them was because of reports from their parents.
Was this true? In two hundred years, the government is still relying on parents to get awakened. I doubted. But I still needed more information on that.
Overall, I wasn't able to fully understand the document. How could I? It was too complex. But still. I summarized most of it so I could easily understand.
After I finished rereading the texts, I watched the videos. I was dying to watch them earlier. However, I had to hold off until I could understand the text. I couldn't just go into a video before understanding anything.
I clicked play and watched as I saw a man in a black suit with neatly combed hair walk down a hallway. The video was taken from one of those surveillance cameras.
THe man then walked around until he reached a big room. It was dark, so I wasn't able to see much initially. Then suddenly, the lights turned on and twenty men appeared before him. They all had guns and knives.
I was intrigued and focused even harder.
The man walked closer and lifted his fingers. He snapped and all the men's heads, except two, turned completely 360.
My mouth opened wide. I was shocked by how powerful he was. With a snap, he killed 18 people.
The video didn't stop. The man ran towards the two and knocked them out. He carried them off in his arms. I wanted to know what happened next, but the video stopped playing.
With a wide grin, I shut my laptop off after exiting all the apps.
'Haha. If I make an awakened my slave, I'd have my own super solider.'
Excitement rushed through me as I struggled to fall asleep.
With the existence of awakening, my plan got harder to achieve. The risk of getting exposed for powers got higher. But my grin wouldn't leave my face. The thought of running the world with even the strongest people in my palms made me excited for the future.

Legend27 Some may not like how I added more awakened but its something I planned from the start. If I kept it with him being the only one with powers, the story would end up getting boring. With this, he'll have a harder time and will be able to grow an OP army.
However, I won't stop you from dropping the novel. I can't please everyone.
