Chapter 1: So everyone's X-men now?

After parting ways with Eric, Areis went straight home although he may have dreamed of this happening. Still, imagining and living it is a different kind of thing he was still in shock and in need of a good rest.

He entered his home which is a typical bungalow house. After he entered he saw his parents and little sister watching the tv, drawn into the news about what has happened awhile back.

His mother Ariel is a Caucasian woman that has a stunning face, if you see her walking in the street you could easily mistake her as model on how tall and good loking she is, but right now because of the black lines being drawn on her forehead and the tight grip she has on the sofa, she gives off the feeling of a very concerned mother.

His father Usa on the other hand is quite on the shorter side, curly hair and a slightly darker skin tone, people sometimes mistake him for as an african-american man but as a matter of fact his father was born unto an ethnic tribe, one of the aboriginals in a small country in Southeast Asia. currently his father lost his signature amicable smile while watching the news with a deep frown.

Sitting in the midst of them is her sister, Urie her sister is turning 4 this year and sporting her pink with white lace dress she is just watching at awe at the people she is watching on the tv.

His mother noticed her

" Areis it's good that you're back."

" Yes mom, today was a very hectic day isn't it?"

He answered.

"In your generatiom you call this mind

blowing i guess."

Chipped in his father now with a light smile on his face.

" Blowing as in boom?" asked Urie in which his mother answered " No dear not boom, like swishhh~" while gesture with her hand.

"Anyways I'll be on my room Mom, call me when it's dinner, let's talk about the things later okay? I'm exhausted." Areis said while walking to his room.

"Okay, take a good rest i guess?"

As Aries flops unto his bed he began to think to himself ' Aren't I too relaxed about this? I should be jumping crazy right now, what changed?'

He willed in his mind 'status'

Huh? so let's study this.

Root: [The Snake that Devours the Moon]

- During Lunar Eclipse, people of certain tribes believed that the reason the moon becomes red is because a Snake Diety is eating it. So they scare it away with loud noise by banging every utensil they have until the eclipse stops.

Effect: The possesor of the root shall have the poise of the Divine, never shaken even if the very sky falls. Well, if the whole world bangs metal utensils at the same time, who knows?

'Ho? so that's the reason I still got the mind to rest huh?'

After Checking his roots' effect or whatever that is he dismissed the other for tomorrow and stood up and went to his computer.

' Now let's see how the world is in right now.'

He logged in to his SNS account and voila, everyone is posting videos of themselves with their newly acquired ability.

There are videos with people flying, well not actually "Superman" type flying, more like swimming in the air, some breathes fire through their mouth while he mused ' That could've been wayyyy cooler if it comes out from your hand though? Now that just looks like vomiting lava' while some retained their human form some had something added in them, like the one dude he saw that has additional hands sprouting in his back.

'WTF?! Is that supposed to be Hashirama's thousand hand buddha? hahaha'

While busy giggling by himself, he felt his eyelids getting heavier ' I guess having superpowers doesn't exempt you from sleeping huh?' So by dragging his deadbeat body unto the bed. He stumbled headfirst unto the mattress and bid daylights goodbye.

This is my very first time writing a book, so please bear with me if there are ever awkward pauses and wrong grammars. Thank you!
