Chapter 1- A Bad Day

Today just like any other day, was a bad day. Well as bad of a day as someone living in the slums can have that is.

I didn't always live in the slums and my days weren't always so bad.

In fact I used to be quite normal.

Lived a normal life. With my normal parents and normal twin sister. I had friends, got pretty average grades in school and I wasn't the most popular with girls in school. Well in fact I never had a girlfriend in my 20 years of life.

If everything went to plan I would of continued to live a normal, yet fulfilling life til I died. That's how it was supposed to be.

Until I was forcefully summoned to another world as their HERO. Living a normal life so far and being a teenage boy I thought is was the best thing ever.

Become super powerful, defeat the Demon Lord, get a harem of beautiful women. Live the rest of my days like a King or if I'm lucky enough, be able to go back home with all my cool magic powers.

That's how it should have been.

If only...If only I wasn't caught up in the immediate grandeur of it all, and took my time to actually think and look at my surroundings first. If only I said NO!!

I wouldn't of become the 'thing' that I am today.

I wouldn't be damaged and broken.

I would still be... me.

To make a long story short, through lots of hardships pain, suffering and loss I was able to make it back to my Earth.

However what I was when I returned could no longer be considered human.

With my chronic nightmares plaguing me every night, to my almost constant PTSD from my time in the other world. Even my whole appearance is different. I decided that it was best to not go back to my family.

I know that my family misses me, that they are worried beyond belief. I'm sure the past two years that I was in the other world was extremely hard on them.

This was an idiotic and selfish choice on my part but no matter what, I do not want my family to see me like this. To see what I have become.

Besides none of my powers have been working since I came back. That's a problem I will figure out later, it's a good thing there are no monsters or magic beasts on Earth.

Due to my choice of not going to see my family and my chronic nightmares keeping me up most of the night. As well as my PTSD I couldn't find a job which is why I am living in the slums.

Bringing me out of my melancholic trip down memory lane I hear a knock at the door to my hut/ home.

"Knock"

"Knock"

I got up from my comfy bed/floor with my favorite dumpster blanket. Walked over and opened the door.

Upon opening the door I was greeted by two strange men in suits. One was a tall white man with no hair (bald) who looked to be around mid to late fourties.

The other was a darker skinned man who looked significantly younger around late twenties. I could tell at a glance that both of these men were anything but normal. they had a similar aura around them that people in the other world had. 'Magic' though it was a small amount these two had mana around them.

I needed to be careful. Especially now that I for some reason can't use my powers

"Hello, who are you two." I asked trying to be as nice as possible.

"Are you Alexander Lykos who disappeared two years ago." the older bald man asked.

"I...am." I hesitantly said as I slowly backed away from the two. My gaze also became much colder.

Both men gave a soft smile toward me. Contrary to what I was expecting.

The younger of the two men spoke this time. "We are with the USIF ( United Intergalactic Space Force) and we ask you to please come with us."

'What the hell is that... and why are you still smiling it's creepy.' I thought as I took another step back.

With the nicest smile that I could muster I said. "Sorry but you have the wrong guy, get back safe." As I moved forward and slowly tried to close the door.

However when I did this the smiles of the two men suddenly vanished and a cold chill wafted through my crappy little Hut/ home.

'KILLING INTENT' I knew it well. In fact to well, back in the other world when I had my full power I was able to kill companies of soldiers with my killing aura alone. But now that I for some reason cant use any of my powers there measley killing intent is affecting me.

'Damnit if I had my powers right now you wouldn't even be ants beneath my boot, but now.'

I quickly grabbed a stick that was in the floor and swing with all my available strength at the moment towards the younger guy.

"CRACK!"

I hit him square across the face. only to notice moments later a huge fist of the bald man coming straight towards me.

"BAM!"

The last thing I saw was his fist hitting me and loosing consciousness. 'I should of never opened the door' I thought adding to my already bad day.
