Alex Briggs

'Let me tell you a story about my life… five years before my birth a life-changing event took place that took the world by storm. Green meteorites rained down from the heavens, killing millions, destroying properties worth billions of dollars!

On that very night, the world bled but luckily my family was one of the survivors of this incident but that's not all… That night the world was shrouded in a green most, believed to have originated from the green meteorites. This led to the gene alteration of many that granted them superhuman abilities, these people are known as Deviants.

While many may shout, Hooray! Thinking this is a good thing, it's not. Let me tell you what happens after this. The birth of the Deviants led to the creation of numerous cults, evil organizations, and countless individual criminals who call themselves 'Super villains'. Thanks to the birth of the deviants, over a million people, have died in the past two decades as the crime rate increased drastically.

People like my parents who weren't lucky enough to acquire abilities have lost their footing in society. After dedicating decades of their lives to the military and reaching the rank of Lieutenant, their orders are easily challenged by Deviants at the rank of staff Sergeant… Clearly, they are more like ceremonial heads now, with no power or authority.

The power system of the world changed drastically and because of this, many civilians without power like myself die daily and no one cares because we are normal…. To make matters worse, animals too were affected by the green mist from the meteorites. Granting them greater strength, intelligence, and even more terrifying abilities than what the humans possess

It didn't take long before the human race and the beasts clashed leading to what can be called the extinction of mankind. Faced with extinction, the humans had no other choice but to retreat and forfeit a lot of their territories, while erecting massive walls around what remains of their territories.'

"Yes, this is a story of my boring life and how I will most likely die in high school" Alex lampooned as he parked his bike at the parking lot.

Alex was considerably tall since he at least reached the 6ft threshold, with spike long black hair giving him the dragon ballz vegetal character look that complimented his light skin, pitch-black eyes, and a fair amount of dimples on his face. He wore a black leather jacket, atop his gray shirt with black jeans and black boots. Since his parents were once lieutenants in the army, Alex wasn't lacking in the physical aspect as well. He was adept in a few martial arts fighting styles and had a good build.

Judging purely based on his looks and capabilities, he could be considered hot and very attractive but the main problem was the fact that he wasn't a deviant!

Getting off his peg 850 power bike, Alex wasn't the type to use helmets since it would mess up his hair so he just locked up and walked forward. Leaving the student parking lot, Alex made a turn to the right and so found himself in the main road, leading to the entrance of the hell he called school.

"Oooh! Gray field academy! Our hope! Our love!" a fat teen cried out dramatically as he ran over to Alex's side.

"You are seriously letting yourself go, Chucky" Alex said with a frown.

Chucky was barely 5,7ft and had a round figure with rough curly red hair and a touch of weird-looking spectacles to help kill whatever hope or chance he had with the ladies.

He looked like a balloon ready to pop at any time and occasionally made these disgusting grunting sounds since he always has a running nose. Seeing the two walk together made people wonder how a hot guy like Alex would decide to stick to that pig of a friend.

"I am really trying! I completed a single push-up today! I will be as fit as you in no time" Chucky beat his chest proudly causing Alex to roll his eyes.

"Congrats big guy but if I may ask, what quantity of food did you consume this morning?" Alex asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I believe it's a lot… But much smaller than what I use to eat!" Chucky emphasized the last part causing Alex to laugh as they walked into the building.

In this world, even the school system changed in favor of the Deviants. While the Deviants are given better treatment, the powerless humans like him are almost invisible and irrelevant. People still treat him with respect simply due to the identity of his parents and even when they compliment him, Alex can tell that these people don't mean what they say.

Most of the bullies in the institution are Deviants and even the powerless humans who act as bullies actually work under other deviants in the school. The whole system is so messed up that Alex stopped caring and continued living his life like none of them exists. Thanks to his parents, none of these deviants dared to mess with him directly and since he never got involved with them they had no reason to get involved with him either.

He has been living the life of a bystander and this was making him sick.

Walking along the hallway with Chucky, quickly made his way to his locker, and only then did she realize Chucky wasn't with him anymore. He has been dragged to a corner of the hall, getting beaten down ruthlessly by a few bullies.

"Powerless humans" Alex muttered as he assessed Chucky's assaulted but he didn't act, instead he observed the entire hall and noticed a particular red haired youth standing at a lonely corner in the hall and observing the entire operation.

"As expected, the group answers to a deviant" Alex muttered while pulling out a few books from his locker and walking away.

The deviant noticed Alex's gaze, shifting his gaze to meet that of Alex. Alex watched the res haired youth nod at him and he too nodded in response. In his opinion, bullies attack the vulnerable! Chucky is only targeted because he makes himself a big target.

"There is no reason for me to get involved" Alex confirmed before packing his bag and heading to class.
