I Can Be A Hero?

Jake Griffs was a normal guy. He just finished high school, has no girlfriend, and is just starting college. He thought that his life was going to be typical and average but that all changed when the rules changed. One day, he was reading an old Superman comic on his laptop when giant meteors start to fall all over the planet and one crashes into his dorm building. The concussive blast knocks him out and when he wakes up later, in the hospital, he hears a voice telling him, "Superman System activated." ~~~~~~~ Literally a brand new author, I am writing this just because I'm bored. Enjoy. This will go where the readers take it. I will create a discord and we can talk about some characters and I will be taking advice on my mistakes. And English is my only language (no need to worry about shit grammar). Thank you. I don't own the above image. I just thought it was cool. Never will go premium and don't accept patreons. Just enjoy the novel. Let system-chan make your day. Discord: https://discord.gg/yBxcpX5

Chapter 6 A Woman's Beauty Can Destroy Nations

"Is it okay if I sit here?" says the person asking to sit in the seat in front of him.

The whole cafeteria goes absolutely silent, almost as if time itself froze. Jake looked up and the shock in his eyes didn't go unnoticed and a small smile appeared on her face.

"Oh My God! Am I seeing things?! Did Marisa Collins, the queen of Boston, really ask that guy to sit down in front of him?" said one guy.

With that one outburst, it was as if time restarted and everyone immediately began to cry out in rage at him.

"Why would someone who isn't important, isn't rich, isn't handsome, and has had no interaction with our goddess have any chance for her to approach him on her own? Is the world playing tricks on us? No. It must be God himself messing with us."

A girl watching with shock hears this and agrees saying with stars in her eyes, "If I could only talk to Marisa, I would be so happy that I wouldn't even look at anyone else."

With a look of disgust, one person looks at her and says just loud enough for her to hear, "It's not like anyone would want to look at you in the first place."

With just that one sentence, a fight broke out between the two that everyone ignored.

Getting back to Jake and the still patiently standing Marisa, Jake takes a second looking at her before saying, "No one will stop you."

Everyone around thinks in their head, "We would."

She smiles and nods before placing her tray down and taking a seat. She then began to eat but never said a word to him.

Jake looked at her while speculating why she would want to sit down with him but never say anything to him.

After a minute of them just sitting there and feeling the murderous gazes of both the males and females causing him to not be able to take it anymore. He looks at her who is just sitting there as if nothing is happening around her so he decides that if she wants to play a game, he would too.

Reaching out, he takes her hand on the table, startling her and causing more than one student to reach for the closest thing to a weapon that they could in preparation to immediately respond to their goddess distress call. The thing that surprised them all was that when Marisa looked up with her surprised eyes, she didn't try to take her hand back.

"So soft," Jake thinks as he holds her hand.

They look at each other in the eyes but then Jake does something that shocks everyone. He gets up and just leaves her there stunning her and the onlookers.

"What the fuck did he just do? Did he just play with my goddess?"

"No fucking way."

As Jake is walking to the exit, Victor Rodriguez and a few of his followers stand in his way out. Victor sees this as his chance to show off in front of Marisa and punish the guy who seems to have somehow made "his woman" take an interest in.

"Where do you think you are going? You are just some ant that I can crush with the weight of my wallet alone. Boy you sure are arrogant to mess around with my woman."

"A suitor huh? Well for one bitch, that money that you can 'crush me with' is your daddy's so don't act all high and mighty in front of me. Two, you sure are arrogant to call someone your woman when she has rejected you several times because..." and getting closer to Victor, he says loudly, emphasizing each word, "She. Isn't. Interested. In. You."

Those words were like a knife stabbing him in the heart for Victor. His eyes turned red and he shouted, "You're dead mother fucker!" and charged at him, throwing a well executed blow to Jake's jaw.

"Man you never should have pushed his buttons."

"It's a shame that he now has to get fucked up in front of a girl who just took an interest in him," another sighs.

Not able to react to the blow, Jake is clocked and a loud cracking sound echos throughout the cafeteria.

"Wait why is he still standing after taking a blow like that. Victor's father had him trained in several martial arts by multiple masters. Even the best UFC fighter would have at least stumbled if he took that blow but Jake's head didn't even move to the side an inch. What's going on here? Did Victor pull his punch at the last second?" One of Victor's cronies on the side says in absolute terror at the confusing scene. Actually, the same thoughts were running through most people's heads but then Victor pulls his hand away from Jake's jaw and everyone sees that he didn't pull his punch.

When Victor takes his hand off of Jake's jaw, his wrist and several knuckles were completely shattered. Jake on the other hand, (A/N lol like the pun) didn't have time to process what happened to himself. Due to that, his face still had a cold expression on and it looked like he was looking at them menacingly.

Realizing what just happened was because of his high endurance and the Skill [Kryptonian Skin] he quickly decided to use the item in his inventory, [Basic Strengthening Potion].

[Basic Strengthening Potion successfully used...

Body undergoing strengthening...

Strengthening complete...

Strength increased by 7 points...

Agility increased by 3 points...

Endurance increased by 3 points...]

Jake let out a sinister grin and slowly walked towards the crippled Victor and his groupies.
