Devoran

The power to devour death and enhance yourself. That is the power that Alex Rune received. An apocalyptic event occurred several generations ago that forced humanity to retreat underground in order to avoid extinction. Now all that remains of the human race lives within a series of five cities, with each city being built deeper than the last. In these cities everyone was equal and your only value to society was dependant on what you provided towards the survival of humanity. Of course, as anyone could have guessed, equality didn't last long. people started to create a social hierarchy based on what they could provide and soon enough capitalism had been reinstated. A few generations went by and the surface had all but been forgotten. Nobody cared for it, nobody longed for it. The surface might as well have been a fairy tale. It was around this time that another shift occurred within society, something that tossed the hierarchy onto it's head. Abilities. People started to develop supernatural abilities that allowed them to defy the laws of nature. Flight, teleportation, super strength and many more. It didn't take long for a new hierarchy to be formed, one that put these ability 'Users' at the top of the food chain. This brings us to the present day, where a young man nearing adulthood discovers that he possesses one of these abilities during a rather stressful moment. The ability he received? The ability grow stronger with each life he takes. This alone was a surprise, as he should have been too old to receive an ability, but the surprise didn't end there. It turns out than when Alex kills someone who possesses an ability, he can take it for himself. Now that he has the means to achieve greatness, he throws away his old self and embraces his need to kill, to grow stronger by any means necessary. Money hungry corporations, power drunk ability Users, this story has it all. Now get reading ;)

Concerned Father

'I just want to sleep. I fought that ice guy, got knocked out while injured, was kidnapped by the Rippers, got revenge on those three fucks at the school and then had a meeting with Marcel... It's been a long two days.' Alex let out a deep sigh as he walked into his home.

Even though it was only around 4 in the afternoon it was already pitch black outside due to the artificial sky being 'turned off' all of a sudden. It felt as though it was the middle of the night and caused Alex to have a very lethargic feeling spread throughout his body.

As soon as Alex entered his home he realized that he wouldn't be able to sleep for a little while longer since there was someone at home he wasn't expecting to see. 

"Dad?"

Sean was sitting on the couch talking to the twins, Benny and Sarah, as they were sitting cross legged on the floor doing homework.
