There were many police officers and heroes in front of a building in the city of Musutafu. Before the police could enter the house, a black car stopped near the house.
Inside, there was a man with tired eyes wearing a gray scarf, a strange animal clinging to his scarf, and a woman with navy thorny hair.
As they approached the front of the house, everyone seemed to be waiting for them.
"Nezu-San, Eraserhead, Midnight. We were waiting for you, sir," said the man in charge of the police forces.
Nezu looked at him slowly and after nodding, led Aizawa, whom he used as his mount, towards the house. Aizawa slowly opened the front door and faced a corridor engulfed in darkness. The fact that the house was so dark and quiet couldn't help but make him think that someone could attack at any moment.
Meanwhile, Nezu jumped down from Aizawa's shoulder and sniffed around lightly.
"I smell blood. It seems that scary things have happened before we arrived," he said, walking towards the scent of blood with heavy steps. The two heroes followed the school principal they worked for helplessly.
Nezu went straight into the living room and entered.
Inside was an extremely bloody scene. A man with his stomach ripped open and a few people turned into sieves with bullets. The weapon used was still there.
When Midnight saw the scene, her stomach churned and she struggled not to vomit. She had been in this profession for years and had seen similar scenes. It was just that this one happened suddenly.
"Oh my god... This is so savage," she said as she looked at the bodies.
Nezu shook his head.
"Aizawa-San, could you check if anyone else is in the house for me?" Nezu asked, staring at the bodies.
Aizawa left the room and returned almost 15 minutes later.
"There are the bodies of the Suzuki family in the bedroom, but I couldn't find their son anywhere," Aizawa said as he entered the living room.
"Hmm... Suzuki-San said his son was quite smart. He probably managed to escape through one of the passages Suzuki-San had made when chaos broke out. Still, it would be good to put out a missing person report to find him. Let's leave the task of dealing with these bodies and finding out who they are to the police... I'm barely standing here with the pain of losing an old friend," Nezu said as he climbed back onto Aizawa's shoulder with heavy steps.
Aizawa sighed as he looked at the depressed Nezu.
Nezu and Suzuki had been friends for a long time. He was perhaps the only one who could compete with Nezu in terms of intelligence without any abnormalities. Aizawa found it both strange and sad that such a virtuous and intelligent man would die like this.
Meanwhile, in a dark street, a child with long black hair was bent over a trash can, vomiting.
"Damn it! I did this with the anger of the moment, but I didn't expect to be affected this much," murmured Kurosaki as he wiped his mouth. He had already moved quite far away from his home.
"I should find a place to hide. Most likely, the Hero Public Safety will be after me because they couldn't get the USB. Besides, I cannot let this thing fall into the hands of dangerous people. I need to find a computer of some sort and learn what's inside," said Kurosaki, looking at the USB hanging around his neck.
He immediately placed himself on top of the garbage bags next to him. The things that happened today were too heavy. He lost his beloved family in a day, awakened a system, and turned into a killer. Moreover, now the Hero Public Safety was after him.
Kurosaki couldn't help but sigh as he thought about what had happened.
"I guess the situation couldn't get any worse," he thought, looking at the moon in the sky. Then he slowly lowered his head.
"System."
[Welcome to the Code Geass System!]
"Okay. Let's see what you can do. List your functions."
[As the Code Geass System, I can give you any known or unknown geass type, mecha robots, and Code Carrier powers. I have a store for these. Would you like to see it?]
"Sure."
[Welcome to the Code Geass Store!]
[Please click on the category you want to go to: Geass - Mecha - Code Limbs - Wheel of Fortune]
[Owned Geass Points: 6]
"Hmm, I was expecting more, but I guess this is enough. Let's look at the Geass first."
[Geass Store:
[Random Geass Box: A surprise box that can contain a random geass]: 400 points
[Geass (Absolute Sound Seal: Broken Version): Allows you to hear everyone's conscious thoughts within a 500-meter radius. (Cannot be closed)]: 500 points
[Geass (Love): Makes the target fall in love with the user. (Cannot be closed)]: 500 points
[Geass (Observation): Has the ability to predict the next move of the target when used.]: 1000 points
[Geass (Absolute Sound Seal): Allows you to hear everyone's conscious thoughts within a 500-meter radius.]: 1000 points
[Geass (Absolute Suspension Seal): Allows you to suspend the subjective time experience for all individuals within a variable range of effect. "Absolute Suspension Seal" effectively paralyzes everyone within the effect area. It can be used for a short time as it freezes the user's heart when used.]: 1000 points
...
As Kurosaki looked at the Geass that was listed and increasingly demanding more points, a question arose in his mind.
"But how can I earn Geass points?" he couldn't help but ask.
[As the host uses Geass on someone, they can earn these points. If the person is important for the destiny of this world, the points to be earned will be much higher. However, it is recommended to be careful when using it as if the user uses Geass excessively, it becomes impossible to close.]
"So, I need to act most effectively to earn Geass points," Kurosaki thought.
After that, Kurosaki visited other types of stores. Although the things they offered were different, there wasn't much difference since their main functions remained the same.
Finally, he arrived at the Wheel of Fortune.
[Wheel of Fortune: Allows the user to win an item from the store or a special offer in exchange for a certain amount of points.]
[Required Points: 300]
[Ding! It was found that the user has a free usage right. Would you like to spin the Wheel of Fortune?]
Kurosaki looked at the page that seemed like a scam in front of him. Nevertheless, he wouldn't give up this opportunity.
[You have spun the Wheel of Fortune!]
[Congratulations! You have won 1x Zero Costume!]
"What the fuck?!"

The next morning, Kurosaki slowly got up from the dumpster where he slept. His stomach was growling, but there was nothing he could do. He had forgotten to take his wallet when he left home. Also, his phone wasn't with him, which was probably better for him.
The last thing he would want was for the Hero Public Safety Commission to suddenly appear and pounce on him.
But there was a question that had been bothering him since last night.
What was he going to do now?
He had always wanted to be a hero like his father, but was this the kind of heroism he wanted? Could he trust such a hero organization? Definitely not! So, should he become a villain for the sake of his family's revenge? No, attacking civilians to get to them was just a cowardly tactic. So, what was he going to do?
Then he remembered something else. As far as he knew, the Hero Public Safety Commission was a government-affiliated organization. So, was the government involved in this? What was really so important in that stupid USB?
As much as he wanted answers to all these questions, perhaps they weren't things that could be found at the moment.
At least he needed time to get through all of this and come up with a rational course of action.
