章 2: My Story
Park County, Colorado
It was a sunny day with the snow glittering outside. A man, around the age of 19, sat down on his couch eating while watching Anime. He gawked at the scene where a man rose from the brink of death. His hair was white and his aura the same. His calmness gave chills to those that watched his sudden transformation.
"What transformation is that?!" Yelled the man.
The man is named Qoteus. He wasn't your average guy, he was a mentally ill man that lived with his grandparents. His parents died in front of him when he was only 8 years old, and since then, he began isolating himself from people, even his relatives.
As an 8 years old with no human interactions, he began talking to himself and his toys more and more. He missed his parents, they loved him dearly. Since the death of his parents, he has never gone to school again.
Although his grandpa wanted him to live his life outside, and get back to school, his grandma was too soft and pitied the boy. And so years passed, his grandparents thought it wasn't weird for a child to speak to toys and himself, but as the boy grew, the more they realized something was wrong.
Qoteus, at the age of 16, talked, laughed, and played with no one but himself. He was diagnosed with psychotic symptoms. He heard voices and often believed what he saw was real.
And one of the voices was named Rai, his best friend and the person that helped him get over his parents death.
"Hey Rai, what do you think about Goku's transformation?" Asked Qoteus.
(Rai's dialogs will be [ and ].)
[Well, It's cool. But I don't know if he can win against Jiren.] Replied Rai
"Of course he will! He always finds a way!"
After finishing the episode with Rai, Qoteus switched the channel and saw an ad. It was for the new transformation of Goku. A limited edition toy with Goku standing still and staring at Qoteus.
Qoteus quickly got up and ran towards the living room, where his grandpa would always be. However, this time, he wasn't there.
"Where could grandpa be?" Asked Qoteus.
[It's Friday today, so he has to get new medicine, remember?]
"Ah, is that so?"
Qoteus walked towards his bedroom with a gloomy expression. Although he had the mind of a child, he still knew that something was wrong with his grandpa. With each passing day, he felt like a failure and a burden to his grandparents.
*Tud*
He sat down where his door was and asked Rai, "Rai, do you think I can do it?"
[Do what?]
"Go outside."
[...]
"I wanna go outside and buy the limited edition figure. You know I like collecting very much, and Dragon ball is one of my favorite anime of all time… I collected almost all the action figures from Naruto, and I wanna collect all the action figures from Dragon Ball.
[I'm sure you can do it. Your grandparents are getting old, they won't always be around to buy you things or to run errands for you.]
"..."
Qoteus stood up, grabbed his wallet, hat, and hoodie, "You're right… Maybe… Maybe I should try this one time."
Qoteus opened the front door and stepped outside for the first time in over 11 years. His heart felt like it was running on an engine, his stomach turning, and his back sweating even with the cold breeze hitting his back.
His eyes were on constant watch, and when he was nearing the store where he could buy the action figure, a sudden scream stopped him from entering.
His curiosity took over, and so he looked at the dark alley, only to find 4 men around 20 years old surrounding a kid no older than 14. They were kicking his head and back as the boy lay down trying to protect his glasses. The 4 men patted the boy's jeans and grabbed his wallet.
Noticing, the boy screamed, "Stop! Please! That's for my moms medicine!"
Hearing the boy scream from the top of his lungs, Qoteus froze remembering his mother and his old grandpa who needs medicine most of the time.
The 4 men saw Qoteus and frowned, "Who the hell are you? It's a small town, never seen you before."
Qoteus backed off, but was stopped by another guy from behind. He was the man smoking outside of the store. He pushed Qoteus towards the 4 men while they laugh at the scared and trembling Qoteus.
"I-I-I-I-"
Qoteus couldn't form a sentence and stuttered. He hasn't spoken to anyone other than doctors and his grandparents. And his first ever encounter was with thugs.
"I-I-I, what kid? Fuck is wrong with you? Are you retarded or something?" Mocked one of the guys
Qoteus tried to open his mouth to respond, but was quickly stopped by a guy grabbing his wallet. He tried to take it back by saying,
"Give it back! Please!"
Qoteus reached for the wallet but was punched. He fell to the ground and held his cheeks.
"Ow… Ow… Ow!"
The pain quickly registered and was felt by Qoteus.
"Shit! Shut the the fuck up kid!"
The 5 guys began beating him and stomping on him as he begged them to stop. However, the guy who stopped him earlier stomped too hard and Qoteus head struck the ground with a thud.
A pool of blood began forming as Qoteus' vision began to fade, with his last vision seeing the kid running away.
"Shit! Let's get out of…"
-----------------------------------
In a dark space full of stars, a man covered in a dark cloak layed down. Groaning, the man supported himself to sit down and analyze the place.
"Where am I?"
The man looked around and found nothing but the vast space. He got scared and began asking and yelling around.
"Grandpa?! Grandma?! Rai?!"
The person was Qoteus, in a new unknown body. He yelled and yelled, but no one answered. Feeling defeated, he sat down with his knee covering his eyes and cried.
"Rai? Where are you? I need you…"
He looked through his deepest thoughts, but no one came. However, he noticed something different from before. His body was now lighter and his mind clearer. There were no more voices and no more strange things around him all the time.
Even without Rai, he somehow felt more clearer. He looked up towards the vast space that held many suns.
His gawking was soon disturbed as a familiar voice appeared.
"So, you're finally here."
-----------------------
Ok so you might be wondering why tf did I make the MC like this. Well simply answer, character development. First of, the edgy "Alpha" MC is kinda overused, annoying, and cringe, and the fact that they don't really have much of a character development. I also want to change things up, I wanna see something different you know. Furthermore, this background will connect well with the race he will be making. You'll understand once you read a few chapters hehehe.
Also, there wont be a system anymore. You'll see on the next chapter.
