THE GIFTED: FROZEN HELL

Chapter 1 [ EP 1 ]

The sea waves hit the beach rocks with a low rhythm, the fresh breeze of the seas calming one's mind, it would have made for a relaxing scene if it wasn't for the police personnel whose legs were frozen in place, keeping them from moving, their eyes portraying a terrifying look, who would blame, anybody would be terrified if a young man, who doesn't look older than seventeen, began to freeze an entire police unit.

"Stop, put your hands up, I repeat, put your hands," yelled a police officer to a young man in torn clothes who looked like a homeless person, which he was. The boy's eyes were devoid of emotion, displaying a cold demeanor.

" FIRE," the cops yelled, followed by loud gunshots, but strangely, that didn't seem to scare the kid. You'd think any kid his age would be terrified by the sight of a platoon of armed cops shouting at you would have scared silly, anyone would be, but he didn't seem the least bit scared he was walking towards the cops as if they weren't even there. As the bullets were about to hit the young man, they began to freeze, and visible frost formed on them, causing the bullets to fall before they could even reach the young man.

When the cops realized their weapons were ineffective, they began to panic, with some even requesting backup, and when the young man opened his mouth, instead of a word, all that came out was the cold breath that froze everything in his path, including the cops themselves, as they began to fall one by one, even though they are not dead, hypothermia will not spare them.

After dealing with the cops, the young man looked at the passed-out cops before going and picking up one of their walkie talkies, he didn't leave out their wallets, after all, he can't make money out of thin air, and looking at a picture of one of the cops' family, the man's eyes showed emotion for the first time in a long time before returning to their usual cold look.

Scene change -

This warehouse had CCTV looking out for it, that if you got past the barbed fence, that was electrified, but despite all of this reinforcement, it didn't stand out from all of the other warehouses. When he entered the warehouse, there were a lot of handmade items as well as a lot of technology. There was a mini fridge that was stuck, and there were a lot of weapons, I mean a lot of weapons, whether they were cold weapons, range weapons, or even some rare weapons like a desert eagle, which appeared to be of high quality.

[ first person POV ]

That was exhausting; those cops had been following me for an hour.

They were able to track me even when I was underground, most likely through CCTV, because I frequently leave my clothes at random stores; they are a real pain in the ass.

If you're wondering why I'm fleeing the cops, it's not because I committed a crime, well, if being a mutant was a crime, then yeah, I did commit a crime, but it's not like I killed anyone or robbed some banks, it's just that I awoke my mutant gene when I was being sent to foster care, which I did flee from because they weren't fit to take care of a 17-year-old like me

Anyways, there are a lot of people who have powers and use them for their purposes, such as killing their ex who cheated on them, but there are also those who just wanted their entire lives back but couldn't because of a physical trait that was altered due to the awakening of their mutant powers, unlike the two mentioned above, marlin, yes marlin is my name, I am neither of those, I don't want my old life back nor do I want to pursue the life of a criminal, I like the way my life is, quiet and peaceful, I mean there is the occasional police chase but these would never find me, trust me, its because I am arrogant and underestimating the police, it just that in the event they find me, I am quite confident in my capabilities, after all, I am just not like the other mutants, I am ah, extraordinary.

[ NAME: Melin

LEVEL: 6 ( 67%)

MANA: 400/ 400

[ ABILITIES:

Ice breath: the user can exhale a cold breath from the user's mouth that can freeze everything at 10 meters [ tier 1 ]. (active)

Ice field: that user generates a field of ice that freezes everything that comes in it [tier 1 ]. (passive)

ice attack: The user can use ice to attack his opponent which comes in various shapes and intensities, either projected or used as a part of melee attacks[ tier 1 ]. ] ( active)

Though I have mutant abilities, mine manifested inform of the game interface, which helped me a lot with not only getting used to my powers but also learning how to probably use my powers, it has only been weak since I had awakened my powers and I am already level 6, it may seem like much in gaming sense trust me I know but this is real life, not some virtual world where you kill monsters and level up, I mean I do level up but that is from using my powers

When this interface first appeared, I was level one with 100 mana points, which serve as the fuel for my powers; mana grows by 50 points every time I level up. I only awakened with the ice attack ability in level 1, but when I hit level 5, I am expecting another skill in level 10, so now all I have to do is use my powers, which not only increases my proficiency in these abilities but also gives me exp. Aside from that, as you can see from the armory, I train in all sorts of weapons, by train I mean look up youtube tutorials and try out what I have learned, that doesn't make me a master but I do try and I am pretty good at it, now all I have to do is try it in real life.
