Only One Way Up

I have a lot to say so bear with me now. Only One Way Up is a story about Parker Jay Asher, better known as parker. Parker is an average teenage boy in a futuristic world where everyone has powers, Parker is an exception though, although he would be called superhuman in our world he would just be normal in his. But like all mc’s he won’t let that stop him after all he is fairly strong for a kid without abilities. Parker's main goal in life is to be strong, in order to fulfill his mom's wishes he strives to get stronger every day. Parker only has one chance to prove himself though, in order to finally move on to tertiary school he has to take an exam. This exam will decide whether he will fulfill his mom’s wishes or if he dies trying. Anything goes in this game we call life so lets make it count. There’s gonna be a good amount of things to say so that I can answer or clear up any questions that you guys might have. First thing i would like to point out is that I'm a student so if i weren't to post new chapters in over a few weeks then that means I’m just doing my thing in school, And if i were to take a break or had a very busy schedule (not that i am really busy) i would tell you guys about it in my latest chapter and would mention it on my socials. Something you all probably noticed is that my grammar sucks. So if anyone were to reach out to me and would like to help me read over/edit my book then i would be glad and would explain further details if we were to get in contact. That should sum everything up, oh and one last thing thank you all for reading my book later. Socials (twitter is the only social for now) My twitter: I’m a bum @JN77510440

What's So Wrong With Me Trying To Do My Best

[sainin]

"(what... What the fuck is this!?)"

[ultima]

"What's this pre- pre- pressure I'm feeling?"

[levner]

"Oh you guys feel too? That's surprising."

[sainin]

"Of course we'd feel it, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the whole world felt it t- wait what the fuck are you doing here!"

[levner]

"Well I'm here to watch, why wouldn't I be here."

[ultima]

"Wait guy's stop messing around, shouldn't we stop this, if anything gets out of hand there'll be a ton of student casualties."

[levner]

"Oh it should be fine for now, just wait it out a bit."

[ultima]

"Wait, what about adrian."

[levner]

"Oh I'm guessing you're talking about the kid down there with him, like i said don't worry about it he'll be fine. (Now then, the moment I've been waiting so long for. show us parker, show us your true potential)"

[adrian]

"Finally, only one left. Well it was fun but looks like I'll be winning this one."

[parker]

"You'll be winning?"

[adrian]

"Well obviously I will, I beat you didn't I, so with that it's safe to say I'll be winning."

[parker]

"heh you'll be winning right, Don't make me laugh."

[adrian]

"Well, haven't you become a bit delusional. look at the situation you're in, do you honestly think that there's still a chance you'll win, even now?"

[parker]

"(so, he really put up with getting beat for me huh? Damn that bum, putting all of this up to me heh, but don't worry markus. I won't let your sacrifice go in vain) Adrian the thing is that you still haven't won yet, although you were winning at first you've still yet to beat me, and the funny thing about this is that I had actually given up already. I was ready to lose, all up until that bum markus just decided to have things his own way."

[adrian]

"(what the hell, why am I starting to feel strange for? It's like this presence is looming over us- no it's more like it's looming over me)"

[parker]

"And now that he did, I honestly don't even feel like losing anymore." 

[levner]

"(heh... here it comes)"

[adrian]

"(the hell, hi- his finger is starting to glow blue)"

[parker]

"Too bad adrian because if anything, now more than ever I honestly feel like winning."

[adrian]

"(The hell, it's glowing even more than before… and what the hell am I seeing now? It's like I can see his nervous system glowing in a shade of blue as well. my instincts are starting to flare up as well, I have to take this seriously now, or else there's no telling what'll happen) so you were hiding a few tricks up your sleeve, so what. It still doesn't change the fact that I'll be the winner in the end."

[parker]

"Oh really, well we'll just have to wait and see."

[adrian]

"Exactly we'll just have to wait and see, INTRUSION."

[parker]

"What a nice move, do you mind if I take it?"

[adrian]

"What, what do you mean take it-"

[parker]

"INTRUSION!"

[adrian]

"(what the hell)"

[parker]

"Aww I missed, oh yeah what was that thing you do after you miss someone? Oh right Follow Him."

[adrian]

"(shit) STONE BARRIER."

[parker]

"Well ain't that annoying, hmm Split up."

[adrian]

"What the hell-"

[parker]

"Yay, I finally got a good hit in, so how was it adrian, was it good?"

[adrian]

"(this piece of shit, this little shit, this little shit, he's fucking with me!) yeah it was fucking good alright, but it wasn't good enough to take me down! SPIRES!!"

[parker]

"Oh what was that defensive move that you usually use, oh thats right Stone Barrier."

[sainin]

"Wha- what the hell is going on, how's that even possible."

[levner]

"Isn't it obvious sai, it's something that 1 in 10,000,000 people go through, it's an awakening."

[ultima]

"An awakening, really? Happening right in front of us!"

[levner]

"Of course, after all It was prophesied by the number one clairvoyance user in the world, Svet."

[sainin]

"Svet? Really he foretold something like this, Is this why you made it so that we wouldn't be able to interfere?"

[levner]

"Oh but of course, if you had done anything it might've ruined the result that we have gotten."

[sainin]

"Wait but how though? Prophecies done by clairvoyance users tend to be incredibly precise and unchangeable, not to mention it was done by the best clairvoyance user of them all. So even if we had done something the result would still be unchanged right?"

[levner]

"That is true in many cases, but in this case not so much. The prophecy foretold by Svet this time around was an unusual one, but it was an eerie one at that. In the prophecy he foretold it was stated that two individuals would walk into this testing site, and that these two individuals would have a presence that would shake the world as we knew it. Although not much information was given about who these two individuals may be, that's why I had asked the both of you earlier to keep an eye out for people that piqued your interest, and now it's safe to say that we have found our two individuals, individuals that can quite literally shake the earth."

[adrian]

"You're honestly fucking with me aren't you?"

[parker]

"Well I wouldn't call it fucking with you, it would be more like messing with you. Fucking is a strong word and I don't necessarily like using it in all of my sentences, cause it would honestly be fucking stupid to do so."

[adrian]

"So you are."

[parker]

"What's with you? Why are you such a hypocrite?"

[adrian]

"Pardon me?"

[parker]

"Oh don't act dumb now you clearly heard me. When I ask you this I seriously mean it, what is with you? Why are you like this... Nevermind now that I think about this it's stupid to genuinely ask you anyways, you probably do have a reason for the way you act but your motive is probably a selfish one at that, and even then you probably wouldn't even answer-"

[adrian]

"Oh, I wouldn't answer huh? Honestly If you wanted to know my reasoning for this, the reasoning for why I act the way I act then I would've already told you it by now. But honestly before any of that tell me, tell me what's so wrong with focusing on my own goals and ambitions, what's so wrong with me trying to do my best."

[parker]

"Well honestly if I were to say it would just be the fact that by achieving your own goals it ends up hindering everyone else's. The blatant fact of the matter is that your selfish and you only care about your own damn self, so yes it may not be wrong for one to focus on their own ambitions but when those same ambitions ruin that of others it becomes a problem to me. So honestly what's it gonna be mr I wanna be the best-"

[adrian]

"Shut the fuck up…"

[parker]

"Pardon me?"

[adrian]

"Oh you already heard me, I said it loud and clear but if you'd like to hear it again then be my guest. Shut The Fuck Up… I honestly never asked for you to rub your morales up on me and I never will, be it morally correct or not I'm still well within my own rights to do as I please, it's not you who dictates what I do is it? Fuck no its not, that right goes dierectly to me! So when you come to me with that morales bullshit I'll always disregard it, so that I can fulfill my ambitions, my dreams, my promises no matter what's in my way."

[sainin]

"(what this feeling, this shaking feeling… no way… he can't possibly know even this too)"

[levner]

"(hmm looks like this kid is quite the character as well. I'm glad that he ended up being the one to face parker)"

[adrian]

"I honestly never wanted to be the best, I need to be. That's why I have to win this, even if I have to suck up my own damn pride and use everything I GOT!"

[parker]

"Heh well then bring it ON!"

[adrian]

"I was planning to do so, FULL CONTROL!"

[sainin]

"We have to evacuate everyone from the area right now!"

[ultima]

"Wait, why? Is there a problem?"

[sainin]

"Of course there is, he's gonna tear the area apart, when earth ability users use the full control ability they have complete control over a specified area that they can handle."

[ultima]

"Ok and how dangerous is the situation now?"

[sainin]

"his area is something that even most veterans can't handle, it's about ten kilometers in length, and if they go unchecked they'll wreak havoc on not just their testing ground but on the other ones as well."

[ultima]

"Then the fuck are we waiting for lets go-"

[levner]

"Wait before that, whatever you do don't interfere with their fight. Do everything necessary for the safety of the examiners and the civilians but don't interfere with their battle."

[sainin]

"But-"

[levner]

"That's an order (I need to see this through no matter what)"

[sainin]

"Yes sir."

"Attention all examinee's 45 minu-"

"What the hell is all that shaking coming from? What the hell… the testing grounds dome is coming apart."

[adrian]

"Parker, you better give me one hell of a time."

[parker]

"I could honestly say the same for you!"
