Adapt

In a world like earth but different as it was much much bigger , where people had powers unique for themself , where creature evolved .

the main character was born , the child cried for one minute then stoped ,that was when he started to lose his feelings ,and when his parents called him Protean.

Five years later , his parents die , however Protean didn't shed a single tear , partly because he was slipping from reality as he thought he was the only person in the world without powers , not even a useless one , thus locking himself in his house where his parents used to live and drowning in the internet, and reading about heroes.

Two years later , Protean finally felt signs and feelings that he has a power , however he did not know what it was , he searched but found nothing , he was starting to feel frustrated that it was false feeling , that was when a knife fell on his hand . And cut him , he started bleeding a little bit then healed , he first thought he has some kind of regeneration power .

he searched the internet to find out how to calculate the level of power and what is the formula to calculate the ranking of said power , the rankings were as follows : S A B C D E F , with S being the strongest and F being the weakest based on how each power affect reality .

for example : an elemental power that emits heat , the formula is consisted of range , how tired after usage , time , etc…

Protean started taking regenative power tests at home to check for the approximate power level he had , however to no avail , as every test he takes , and retakes again as instructed to get more accurate readings , the score goes higher and higher , that by the third time he tries the test he gets A rankings (which is the highest score the formula could calculate on the internet) and after that he doesn't get tired anymore , which makes the formula useless.

After a few more test he found a test that used fire to test the regenerative property of is skin , so he tried with a lighter , at first he got hurt and instantly removed his hand from the heat emitted from the lighter fire , however the pain dulled as fast as he removed his hand , so he tried again , this time though he could keep his hand on the fire ,however he still felt the extreme heat from the lighter , seconds later he stoped feeling any pain from the lighter's fire and just felt slight heat , so he thought that his power made him fire resistant along with his regeneration .

However that was not all , it seemed that he felt some kind of connection with the fire itself , making him able to control it , he experimented more and more till he figured what his power actually was , after figuring that it makes life easier for him with every situation.

Adaptation.

His power is to adapt to whatever and all situations , for example when he touched fire he first stoped feeling pain ,which was the strongest and what needed to be done first to adapt to it , afterwards was the extreme heat , which was annoying but still could cause damage , thus the power of adaptation allowed Protean to get resistance against it with some control , afterwards more and more resistance and control

.

that was when Protean knew, his potential was limitless ,he could become the most powerful person, however he needed time ,and plenty of training , thus he started training with all sorts of things he could think of inside his own house , but he knew that he will hit a bottleneck sometime in the future if he stays in his house , so he figured he needed to get out and train outside afterwards .

after a certain amount of time when Protean reached his bottleneck inside his house , he started gathering his things to get out and adventure outside and train to become stronger , however he knew that he will lose himself to his power if he becomes drunk with it , as it's potential was limitless ,thus he made a promise to himself , to not get lost in his power , and that was to keep balance .

When Protean was 18 years old , he got ready to go to the hero academy to fit in with people his own age , and see how they train and get ready for creatures and villains .

(The first chapter is the only one that is going to be third person view , the story is going to be first person , the main character's , however you don't have to worry about secrets spelling ,I will try to keep the story as good as possible and make the reveals only when necessary , and try to make him say them out loud , not in thought ).
