1 Fuck Yeah I'm the MC

To the North of New Mars City, where the richest of the middle class gathered, three-story houses dotted the landscape. There, Martian houses were built out of rebar and stainless steel. Each house was at least thirty meters apart. They were round in shape and looked like three saucers stacked on top of one another with an antenna on top. In that area, every building had a basement and a bunker hidden underneath in case of a city-wide disaster. Each house was well equipped with a large kitchen, a hot tub, three bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, one master room, an attic, and a training room full of gym equipment.

In one generic Martian house, a certain 18-year-old Chinese-Martian college student in his college break vigorously stared at the mirror in front of him because... THERE WAS NOTHING THERE! Levi Lee looked down at where the rest of his body should be and saw the floor.

"Oh my god. I'm invisible. THIS IS AWESOME!" He screamed.

He could still feel the rest of his body and could still feel his feet on the floor around him so he was confident he wasn't a ghost. A blue hologram like screen floated in front of him.

" Levi Lee

Ability: Invisibility [On]"

He concentrated and thought 'off.' Sure enough, he could see himself again.

"Levi Lee

Ability: Invisibility [Off]"

Naturally, he turned it back on and became invisible once more. In the mirror stood a slightly handsome six feet tall college male. His face had all the right proportions. He had a strong and heroic forehead, his eyes were neither too big nor too small, his eyebrows were thick and black like swords, his nose was high, neither too big nor small. Truthfully his features were only slightly better than an average male. What really stood out was his strong diamond-like pickaxe jaw and smooth white skin. He had spent too much time sleeping indoors, but instead of a pale ghoul like face, he got beautiful white skin. Some people are just born better looking than others.

He laughed maniacally and thought about all the "glorious" things he could do with the power of invisibility.

But first, time for some experiments. He willed his clothes back to invisibility and sure enough, they did. He willed it back to invisibility and looked to the wall. It didn't turn invisible. He touched the wall and it still didn't turn invisible. He threw his clothes off and the clothes turned visible. He put them back on and carried a chair which turned invisible. He put on as many clothes and lifted a desk instead of a chair. All of it turned invisible. He looked at his arm and it turned visible. He looked at his foot and it also turned invisible. He attempted to carry the refrigerator and will it to invisibility, but nothing happened. He took two potatoes, one in each hand and willed the left one to invisibility.

'So I can only turn myself and what I can carry invisibly, and I can also control which of those I want invisible. Awesome.' He thought to himself.

But since he could turn invisible... He took off all his clothes, put on some shoes, and turned invisible. Heading to the door, he paused. What if someone saw his front door open and close without anyone there? What if a surveillance camera records it? He then opened a window while visible, stepped to the side, went back to the window, and jumped out. He felt the thud on the bottom of his feet and cursed at himself for forgetting about sound. Luckily the nearest house was thirty-eight meters away.

He looked to the left and in the distance, a massive wall stretched as far around as his eyes could see. It was Wall Marineris, an eighty meter high and thirty meters thick wall made out of concrete, steel, and rebar. The wall was built to defend against invaders such as other humans or animals.

Levi first slowly walked out. His heart was racing, his blood rushed to his head, and his sweat oozed out. As he began jogging away from his house and seeing that nobody was yelling at him, he let out a relieved sigh and ran at full speed. There was just something about walking down the street that was so invigorating. It was so immoral, so addicting. A few minutes later he saw someone walking towards him. He kind of recognized her? The area he lived in was for the top tier of the middle class. It wasn't easy getting in and out. Everybody had seen each other around at least once either passing by or in a social event.

He looked at the woman walking towards him. She was around thirty years old and had a slightly pretty face. She had a tall strong nose, small, but plump lips with purple lipstick, a large forehead, and long black hair. She was in her uniform, a beige jacket with a government badge and skirt that reached her ankles. She wore a pair of black sunglasses, skin colored stockings and black high heels. Although the uniform covered her body, he could still see the plump body it tried to hide. Big breasts, small waist, wide hips, big butt, long legs. Levi saw a mature woman radiating beauty, accomplishment, heroism, and power.

An obviously important suitcase in one hand and phone in the other, she walked along with huge strides, high heels clacking against the ground. His heart thumped as he walked up next to her and waved his hand... nothing happened. She continued her way. He jogged next to her and using two fingers swiftly knocked the bottom of her phone. The phone flipped three times and landed on the floor. Luckily the phone was quite durable.

She stopped and frowned. The woman looked to her left and right. Nobody. She took two steps and bent down to pick up the phone. As she bent over her beige skirt rode up her butt and tightened, outlining her amazing ass.

As much as he wanted to give it a tight squeeze he simply stood aside and admired the view. He was finally confident in his invisibility and got an additional benefit out of it too. He walked around a little longer before heading back him and jumping through the window he had opened previously. The experience was exhilarating. The freedom and power were intoxicating. He could do whatever he wanted!

He suddenly realized that his little brother was standing straight up.

"Hmmm. No, I'm definitely not an exhibitionist" he told himself. 'It must be hormones.'' But only he knew whether this was true or not...

At night, Levi laid on top of his bed thinking. He gazed at his right arm constantly turning it invisible and visible. What to do with these newfound powers? Truth be told he planned to go with the flow, get a decent job and maintain his status. His parents were long gone, but he got a pretty good inheritance. His father was a lieutenant colonel who made meritorious deeds and left him various benefits. He had support from the New Mars City government, compensation, military protection, and a scholarship for college. His mother was a government official and investor. She had several hundreds of thousands of dollars in stocks. When she died from heartbreak after his father passed away on an exploration trip, he was compensated with a million dollars for the death of his parents. Basically, both his parents were entrenched in the government and with the support he was pretty much set for life. He could literally do nothing and still live with luxury.

But now he has superpowers. He has his own cheat. Levi felt a fire burning in his gut. It wasn't another superpower. It was something he has never felt, ambition. With his cheat, he could spy, steal, harass and escape with ease.

However, he began recalling some memories in the distant past. His father once mentioned in passing a story about other metahumans. He said that the government had recruited unique people into a special program. His father said that one of the new recruits was a civilian who wrestled an adult red tiger with his bare hands and killed it by wringing its neck.

Tigers on humanity's home planet Earth were much smaller. The largest was once the extinct Siberian tiger that weighed seven hundred pounds, was twelve feet from head to tail, and around four and a half feet in height.

Red tigers averaged at about one and a half tons, were twenty feet from head to tail, and around six feet tall. They had red-orange fur that with a crimson gleam giving their name the red tigers. Their claws were like steel knives. They looked like a normal tiger if it was injected with steroids and stimulants throughout its entire life.

It's not only the tigers, most organisms on Mars followed a general trend: bigger, stronger, aggressive, and adaptive. After centuries of terraforming, oxygen levels and wildlife had increased dramatically. With so many plants and small animals, and space organisms at the top of the food chain grew in size. Unfortunately, humans have not yet changed much except adapting to the environment, or so it seemed.

Perhaps some humans have in fact turn into metahumans or a subspecies of homo sapiens. His father may or may not have been telling the truth. Even if he didn't Levi had to be careful, he had read too many light novels to know that the government would immediately either indoctrinate him or dissect him.

Nevertheless, Levi couldn't help, but feel cocky. Invisibility was definitely an overpowered ability. It wasn't a destructive offensive based ability, but a support one. In the right situation, it could even be better. Levi was one in ten billion humans.

"If this were a light novel, I would definitely be the protagonist," he said narcissistically and went to sleep.
