0.6% Strongest Superhuman System / Chapter 1: Mark Vanitas

章 1: Mark Vanitas

"Today marks four years since the apparitions occurred along with the Armageddon that threatened to end our world. All the Superhumans of the Federal Republic of America came together today to pay homage to those who lost their lives to the great destruction, as well as to celebrate the great act of the one man who risked everything and gave his life to give the superhumans a chance to regroup and win against the Anima invaders.

"As we remember the great deeds of KING and celebrate his life and the lives of all those that perished, we swear that we will never forget the sacrifices made to get us to this point today. There have been great challenges in our path, and I know that there will be even more challenges waiting for us in the future, but I know that if we all come together, there is nothing that can stop us."

"Mark! What are you doing out here? You're late for class! I told you the teacher would be mad at me if I let you stay out again and you still ran away! How can you be this cruel? Do you want me to come here and drag you to class every time? I have things to do too!"

A young female voice rang out through the hallway in exasperation as a beautiful girl with large breasts and wide round hips rounded the corner of the hallway. She had blond hair tied in a ponytail and sharp black eyes! There was a small scar on her left cheek that ran all the way down to her neck, but that scar took nothing away from her beauty. In fact, it only added to the beauty, making her look more dangerous and exotic! She was wearing the uniform of Nature Academy, a black skirt and shirt that hugged her body tightly and made her assets stand out modestly, along with a black jacket with the school logo on it.

The girl's name was Arit, and she was the class president of class 2-A. She was an honor student who had many admirers in the school, and there wasn't a single boy in the school who didn't want to be with her. But she didn't care about all of that because most times, she was more focused on trying not to kill her only real friend!

Arit had a glower on her face as she stopped in front of a boy sitting on the ground at the end of the hallway. This area was hidden from the rest of the school, and no one used it to move to their classes anymore, so it was the perfect place to hide away. Arit regretted the day Mark found this spot with all her heart. Ever since then, he had done nothing but come here and hide whenever they were supposed to have class, and she was always sent to get him because she was the only one he would listen to. He was so annoying!

Yawn~ 

Mark yawned loudly and stretched his hand above his head tiredly before he finally turned to look at Arit. Mark was a handsome boy with black hair and eyes. His hair was short, and it only came down to frame the side of his face slightly. He was wearing the Nature Academy uniform as well, but he didn't have a jacket on, and his tie was loose around his neck, making him look more like a hooligan than a student. He smiled once he saw Arit and waved!

"Hey, Arit. You look beautiful as always. I really love what you've done with your hair, it looks different from this morning. I thought you would take a bit longer to come get me this time, but I guess you aren't my best friend for nothing. You always know exactly where I am."

Arit blushed crimson once she heard Mark call her beautiful, and she immediately grit her teeth and forced her blush to go back down! She couldn't allow this bastard to throw her off like that! He was always doing this. Mark would run away from class, and he would make her come here to find him! It would have been better if he was at least trying to improve his ranking in school, but his grades were not that great either. He was doing above average in the school, but it was far lower than Arit knew he could do!

"You're not going to talk your way out of this one, you hear me. This is the third time this week that you're making me come here! What do you have to say for yourself!?"

"I want a lap pillow."

"Be serious!"

Arit's blush deepened again once Mark said this, and she stomped her foot on the ground in anger! Arit's head was starting to turn very red, and Mark now knew that it was getting too much. He should get serious and stop teasing her already.

Mark just sighed as he heard her shout at him again; he was actually serious about the lap pillow, but she would only keep shouting at him unless he stood up and went with her. What man wouldn't want a lap pillow from a woman like her!?

Mark stood up, and he slowly placed his phone back in his pocket. As he did this, Mark could see the shadowed look that crossed Arit's face once she saw the content of what he was watching.

The video that was playing was the annual memorial held in remembrance of the lives that were lost during the Armageddon Class attack four years ago. Four years ago, monsters called Anima suddenly began to show up all over the world. No one knows how they came to be, and no one is sure what exactly they were! All people knew was that Anima only had one purpose in life! That was to kill as many humans as they could!

The Anima were dangerous creatures that were Animal-human hybrid in nature! They defied all laws of biology and physics, and their appearances were grotesque and twisted! They had immeasurable power, and they were invulnerable to any attacks below the force of a military tank! Even military tanks were not able to really harm them. The only things that the military tanks could do were to injure the Anima, but to really kill them, you would need far more firepower.

Everyone in the world thought that this would be the end for them! What could humans do against creatures that were strong enough to shrug off a military tank and could just walk through rains of bullets and grenades.? It was impossible for humans to think of fighting back!

But that was when the first Superhuman emerged. To this day, people still do not know what the first superhuman looked like! All they knew was that he was the one who gave them a fighting chance when they thought all hope was lost. He allowed them to raise their heads defiantly and fight back against the monsters that threatened to take everything from them!

This superhuman was given the name KING! He was a symbol of hope, and everyone in the world had great respect for him. After this superhuman came out into the open, many other superhumans also began to appear.

These superhumans all had something called a blessing. It was this blessing that allowed the Superhumans to use great power beyond what humans could even imagine. The blessing granted all superhumans strength in different magnitudes. Some superhumans were strong enough to destroy entire buildings in just one punch, while other superhumans were only strong enough to carry cars or move large rocks. But all superhumans with the blessing were far stronger than humans.

The fight between KING and the strongest Anima that attacked them during the Armageddon lasted for two days and three nights, and it ended up destroying one-third of the North American continent! But finally, after fighting for so long, the two monstrous behemoths destroyed each other, canceling out their power in equal measure! The fight was so intense that it shifted the entire North American continent closer to the South American continent. The two continents were now so close that they no longer called themselves North and South America, instead, they were simply the Federal Republic of America!

After KING killed the Armageddon Class Anima that was attacking Earth, the remaining superhumans were able to take care of the stranglers, and this allowed Earth to move into a new era where superhumans protected the citizens from the dangerous Anima.

Mark has always had respect for the superhumans and all that they do for the world, but Arit did not feel the same way! Arit didn't hate superhumans, she just disliked everything about them! Mark has always been curious about what exactly caused Arit to have this much aggression towards the superhumans, and when he asked her, it finally made sense to him in some way.

Arit and her parents were victims of an Anima attack three years ago! Arit and her parents went to a convention where the president of her father's company was giving a talk about a new branch that would be opening soon and trying to congratulate all his workers on their new achievement, but there was an Anima attack during the convention, and almost everyone there was killed by the monster!

When the superhumans arrived and finally killed the monster, rather than trying to take care of everyone properly, they prioritized the president and other important members of the company who were rich! Arit was lying under a pile of rubble, and her parents' broken and torn bodies were right beside her, but no matter how much she cried, the superhumans would not listen, and they continued to take care of the rich.

By the time Arit and her parents were taken out, her mother had already died, and her father was in critical condition as he was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, Arit only suffered a few broken bones, and the only scar she had was the one on her cheek. In a way, she was lucky to be crushed under that rubble because it prevented the monsters from seeing her! But ever since that day, Arit has disliked superhumans and what they stand for! They were all money grabbers who only cared about their hierarchy! They called themselves heroes, but she believed that there was nothing heroic about them other than their strength!

章 2: Anima Attack

"You're watching that memorial?" 

Arit said this while looking out the window at the side of the hallway to prevent Mark from seeing the irritated expression on her face. 

Mark shrugged at her words, and Arit asked him if they showed that statue of KING again. Arit might not like superhumans, but the only exception to this was KING. She had more respect for KING than for anyone else in her life because of what he did to help everyone years ago. There was even a large statue of KING erected in the center of the city where the inauguration was taking place, and Arit would always go to look at the statue whenever she was passing near there.

"They didn't show the statue yet. I think they're making some repairs to it after that large fight that happened close to it last time. The arms broke off, so they had to put it back on." 

Mark gave Arit the information she wanted, and she nodded just once before she suddenly reverted to what they had been talking about.

"Let's go to class. The teacher is going to punish you again because you're late, so don't you dare try to run away. This is the last time I'm going to come and find you! The next time something like this happens, I'll leave you to fail!" 

Arit shouted this in anger as she started to walk towards the class. She completely overlooked what Mark was watching because she knew that she couldn't be angry at him fo watching it. He liked superhumans, and she wouldn't force him to hate them just because she didn't like them! That wasn't what a friend did!

Mark placed his hands in his pocket and followed after his friend with a smile on his face. Even though she said that she would never come to look for him again, Mark knew that this was a lie. She was the sort of person that cared for her friends more than anything. She would come and look for him every time because she cared about him just as much as he cared about her.

Ring! Ring! Ring! 

Mark stopped in his tracks as he heard his phone ringing. He picked up and raised his hand placatingly as he saw Arit looking back at him with a heavy glare. This is important. He couldn't just leave this call!

The person on the other end of the call was Mark's other friend, Pat. Mark has known Pat for even longer than he has known Arit. They were in middle school together, and they would have gone to the same high school, but Pat managed to leave school faster than all the other students because of how intelligent he was. He finished compulsory education in only two years, and right now, he is a college student studying Cosmology and Astronomy at a popular university in another city.

But even with all these achievements, Mark and Pat have remained as friends all this while, and there was never any jealousy or irrational hatred, Mark just understood that his friend was smarter than almost anyone else in the world, and that was okay!

[What are you doing? No, that doesn't matter, I've tracked your location. There's an Anima attack happening close to you right now. The closest responders are almost an hour away. That would only end badly. Can you make it?] 

The voice on the other end of the call came out in a rushed and haughty manner, almost like the person was looking down on everything in the world because of how much better he was than them. But Mark didn't let that faze him as he frowned and looked out the window in the direction that Pat pointed out.

"I'm with Arit. I think she wants to kill me with the look she's giving me right now, so you better hurry. How many are there?" 

Mark said this while taking a single step away from Arit as she folded her hands and started to tap her foot on the ground in annoyance while waiting for him to finish his call. Arit was obviously pissed that he was making them even later for class, but she knew that she couldn't drag him with her even if she wanted to. She tried to drag him once and she almost ended up breaking her hand from how heavy he was! It felt like she was trying to push a slab of rock around with her! So instead of dragging him, she would just give him another talking to when he finishes the call.

[I can't believe you still haven't told her you're a superhuman. You and your wife should stop your disgusting flirting, and you should just tell her. In fact, forget that, you normies can just go die for all I care. The spot is two kilometers north of your school. There should be a large billboard close to that area so you can use that as a guide, so just… hold on.] 

Pat's couldn't keep his irritation at Mark and Arit's interactions out of his tone. He hated how easy it was for the two of them to act like a married couple while still not being together! Pat has never had a girlfriend in his life. He always stated that his reason for not having a girlfriend was because none of the girls he knew were capable of keeping up with him mentally, but Mark always teased him that he was just afraid of girls. Pat cursed Mark every time Mark said this. The bastard had no right to talk because he already had Arit!

Mark should first try talking to other girl and see how hard it is!

Pat stopped talking as he looked down at the laptop that was on his lap. Pat was sitting on a large chair with his legs drawn up, and he had a juice box in one hand as he typed away expertly on his laptop with his other hand. There was an almost permanent look of boredom on his face as he easily tapped into the CCTV cameras in the streets of the city. There was a prompt that came up on his screen, showing a warning of a firewall that protected the citywide grid from intruders, and Pat scoffed.

Do they think something this flimsy can keep him out!? They probably gave this to some sixty year old washed up programmer who made it in two days. It was so bad!

Pat broke through the firewall like it was wet tissue paper and redirected the feed of the camera to his large 500-inch TV that took up the entire wall in front of him. 

Flash!

He saw a blur flash across the screen as it headed in the direction that he just pointed out to Mark. Pat immediately narrowed his eyes in shock. Who in the world is that?

Pat wondered who it was as he froze the screen on the frame that had the blur. He zoomed into the frame by a hundred times and frowned as he saw that the blur was still not very clear. He pixelated the screen and then used a program to clean out the residue that was silhouetted out of the image. After doing this, the image became clear enough for him to see the face of the person. Once he saw who it was, Pat dropped his juice box in shock!

It was a beautiful woman who had long blond hair tied into a ponytail behind her. She was wearing a sleeveless black singlet and black cargo pants, and she had a long katana strapped to her waist! This was one of the most popular superhumans in the entire world! Her name was Matilda Lindsworth, but her fans and other people online only referred to her as Tilda. Tilda is one of only three A-class female Superhumans in the Federal Republic of America, and she was given the title Yellow Phantom because of how fast she could move. What in the world is she doing in a place like this!?

Her base of operations was in an entirely different city, and the only time she came down to City A was when she was receiving an award from the mayor for helping in a large subjugation. Pat was very curious about what Tilda was doing here, but that wasn't immediately important. He filed it away in a compartment in his brain, and he promised himself that he would look into it when he got more time.

Pat spoke to Mark again with that same bored tone. There's no need for Mark to bother going anymore.

[You can forget it. Someone managed to make it. You don't need to bother about it for now, but I think you should be careful in the meantime. Something seems off about this whole situation. There shouldn't be any issues with taking care of the monster since she's pretty strong. Just in case, though, stand by and try to answer whenever I call. Don't let your disgusting libido keep you away from your phone.] 

Pat didn't even wait for Mark to say anything in response, and he just cut the phone! Mark blinked down at his phone in slight surprise. He wasn't surprised that Pat acted the way he did, that was normal. Instead, Mark was surprised that there was someone who came to answer the emergency that quickly. They usually take at least thirty minutes because of how far the school is from the nearest Superhuman base. But they were able to make it in only three minutes?

Mark was sure that only an A-rank or above would be able to cover that distance in such a short time. There weren't any Superhumans with such a high rank available right now since they were all out on a mission and that was why Mark was certain that there wouldn't be any responders to the attack! But then, if none of them are available, who was the responder?

Mark was curious about this, but he decided to just let it be. Since Pat said it would be fine, then Mark was sure it would be fine. Pat was someone who always took everything into account, and he never left any stone unturned when trying to uncover something! If this was going to be a problem, then Pat would have let him know.

Hello everyone, my name is Legionner and I'm the author of Superhuman System. I've read tons of action and romance webnovels (just like many of you) and I've seen many authors ruin one of the plots in exchange for the other. Either the desire for strength makes the romance stale or the romance makes the desire for strength dwindle. So I decided that I'd love to write a book where the zeal to grow stronger isn't reduced by the Main characters romantic life. Instead, the main character's motivation remains the same and grows stronger even though there is a steady romance in the book. This is the culmination and product of this desire.

P.S. Please don't think I have something against 60 year old programmers. I think their experience is an invaluable skill.

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
