Chapter 1Weight of Words

Chapter 1: The Weight of Words

The fluorescent lights of the Northwood High School cafeteria hummed, casting a sterile glow on the trays of lukewarm food. Daniel, hunched over his tray, meticulously picked at his mashed potatoes, his gaze darting around the room. He was a radar, his senses constantly scanning for danger, for the inevitable taunts that would come his way.

He was a ghost in this crowded room, invisible to most. The laughter, the chatter, the vibrant energy of the other students washed over him like a tidal wave, leaving him feeling small and insignificant.

He yearned to be a part of it all, to feel the warmth of belonging, but the fear of rejection held him back.

Today, the target was his lunch. A crumpled napkin sailed through the air, landing squarely on his head. Laughter erupted from the usual suspects – the jocks, the popular girls, and their sycophants. Daniel flinched, his cheeks burning. He wanted to disappear, to melt into the linoleum floor.

He glanced across the cafeteria, his heart doing a clumsy somersault. Sarah was there, as always, laughing with Miguel, her face alight with a happiness that felt both foreign and agonizingly familiar. He imagined her laughter, the sound of it, was for him. He imagined himself making her laugh, truly laugh, with his wit, with his… something.

He knew it was a ridiculous fantasy. She wouldn't even notice him if he was standing on his head. Still, the thought of her smile, of her eyes crinkling at the corners, was enough to make his stomach flutter.

He decided then. Today, he would do it. He would confess. He would tell her how he felt, even if it meant the inevitable rejection. He would finally, finally, be seen.

The rest of the day was a blur of classes and forced smiles. He tried to focus on his schoolwork, but his mind kept drifting back to her, to the words he would say, to the way she might react. He envisioned her face, first surprised, then amused, then… what? Disgust? Pity?

He knew he was being overly dramatic, but the fear was paralyzing. What if he stumbled over his words? What if he said something stupid? What if she laughed at him?

During lunch, he tried to sit near her table, but a group of football players blocked his path, their eyes filled with amusement. He detoured, his shoulders slumping, and ended up sitting alone at a small table tucked away in the corner.

He watched her from afar, his heart aching. She was so beautiful, her hair cascading down her shoulders, her eyes sparkling with laughter. He longed to be the one making her laugh, to be the one she turned to for comfort, for joy.

After school, he waited outside her usual bus stop. His palms were clammy, his heart pounding like a drum. He rehearsed his lines in his head: "Hey, Sarah, I… I think you're amazing. I know this is probably weird, but…"

He saw her, walking down the street, Miguel by her side. His stomach plummeted. He fumbled for his phone, pretending to be engrossed in a text.

Suddenly, a police car screeched to a halt nearby. A gruff voice barked orders. Miguel, startled, dropped his backpack. It landed with a thud, spilling its contents onto the sidewalk. Among the books and notebooks, a small, plastic bag tumbled out.

The officer, his eyes narrowed, snatched up the bag. "What's this, son?" he demanded.

Miguel stammered, "It's… it's nothing. Just… some stuff."

Daniel, frozen in fear, watched as the situation escalated. He knew, with a chilling certainty, that this was not how his confession was supposed to go.

The officer's voice grew louder, more insistent. Miguel, his face pale, started to tremble. Daniel felt a wave of nausea wash over him. He wanted to look away, to pretend he didn't see, but he couldn't.

He watched as the officer handcuffed Miguel, his face a mask of disbelief and fear. Sarah, her eyes wide with shock, stood frozen in place, her face pale and drawn.

Daniel, unnoticed and unseen, slipped away, his heart pounding in his chest. He had meant to confess his feelings, to finally be seen. Instead, he had witnessed something far more serious, something that would undoubtedly change the lives of those involved.

He walked home, the weight of the incident pressing down on him. He felt a strange sense of detachment, as if he were watching a movie, unable to connect with the emotions on screen.

He reached his house, his footsteps heavy on the porch. He opened the door, the silence of the empty house washing over him. He slumped onto the couch, his gaze fixed on the television, but he couldn't focus on the images flashing across the screen.

His mind kept replaying the scene at the bus stop, the officer's stern voice, Miguel's terrified face, Sarah's frozen expression. He wondered what would happen to Miguel, what Sarah was feeling.

He knew this was not how he had envisioned his day going. He had wanted to be brave, to be bold, to finally step out of the shadows. Instead, he had witnessed something far more significant, something that would undoubtedly have a profound impact on the lives of those involved.

He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the images, the sounds, the emotions. But they lingered, a constant reminder of the fragility of life, the unpredictability of events, the weight of words left unspoken.

He realized that sometimes, life had a way of throwing curveballs, of disrupting even the most carefully laid plans. And sometimes, the most important thing was not to have the courage to speak, but to have the courage to witness, to understand, to simply be present.

He knew he would never forget that day, the day his attempt to confess his feelings was interrupted by a far more serious event. It was a day that would forever change his perspective, a day that would teach him the importance of empathy, of compassion, of simply being there for others, even when words seemed inadequate.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..."

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.
