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 ;)

'I should have done this from the start.' Alex pulled his phone out with a heavy, regret filled sigh. 

"You've got to be kidding me..." As he turned the phone over, her saw that the entire screen had been cracked. He pressed the power button, and every other button, many times but the phone refused to respond.

'This was the only way for me to contact James... I didn't bother to write his phone number down anywhere and it's not like I memorized it. It's going to cost a lot to fix it too.'

Alex shook his head and pushed the thought out of his mind. 'Who cares about the money, I just want everyone to be safe.'

Alex had adopted a jogging speed as he led the way home with Benny following behind him. It was incredibly painful to run like this, given the injuries he sustained throughout the day, but there was no other choice right now, to reach his mother in time he would simply have to endure it.
