It all started when a strayed alienoid creature appeared in the world. It was captured by a scientist who was driven insane by his hate for humans. For a long time, he hated the humans for how he and his family were treated by everyone around them which led to the death of his children and wife. Driven by his desire for revenge, he sought out ways to punish the entire human race and after years of trying, he finally came up with an idea.
Mixing the genes and blood of the alienoid creature with that of a human, he was able to create a specie of an alien-human. He thought that as the creator, this specie will obey him forever but it was nothing but mere imagination, the humanoid-alien began to show rebellious characters for some time until one day, it ran away into hiding and began to multiply until they were overpopulated that they needed to find a new place to live. They made their way into the human settlements with the hope of making a deal with the leaders but instead of that, the leaders devised a plan to annihilate them. Out of anger, these species began to fight back until a war broke out.
The humans were taken by surprise as these humanoid-Aliens were having the upper hands in the war. It was at this point that the five countries decided to put their disputes aside and come together in order to fight their one enemy. Still at that, the humans were losing, they kept dying like chickens, houses were being destroyed, the remaining kids were hidden in underground tunnels while their parents partook in the war.
Just when humanity thought all hope was lost, the sky suddenly cracked and portals opened. Different colours of fogs filled the air and the people were engulfed in them, those who were lucky awakened some rare abilities while the unfortunate ones disappeared together with the portals. Those five people who awakened abilities became the heroes of the human race.
They brought the remaining people together in one place and they became one country, just when they thought everything was finally over, they began to see traces of those humanoid-aliens again. They didn't want what happened before to repeat again and thus, they began to seek ways to share their abilities with others.
It was not possible though but hopes weren't lost. They created an awakening stone that will aid the people in awakening any ability that they were able to, while doing this, they also wrote down their abilities in books and called it 'the ability book'
Not everyone had this book because of the high price and so some individuals thought it wise to rewrite the ability books and make the new ones cheaper. It was cheap and so did the quality of the books drop, they called the original ability book 'advanced ' while the ones rewritten was called 'basic'
Some poor families purchased the basic ability books for their kids who had awakened their abilities but unlike the advanced ability books owned by the rich families, they were lacking behind and were considered as the weak ones.
In the case of Max, his family were the average ones in society. They had given birth to Max and just like other parents they had expected their son to awaken an ability but unfortunately, he was not able to. Luckily, their second son came and he was able to awaken an ability, their parents used all their resources to purchase an ability book for their second son in return for him to bring them honour but for Max, he got nothing as he was considered trash.
Because of the way he was treated by everyone around him, Max suddenly developed a hunger for power. He wanted so much to have powers so that he'll put an end to all the ridicules and ill-treatment given to him by people.
He checked the time and it was 5:00 Am already, he had only an hour to begin his daily quest since classes commence by 7:00 Am every day.
Not wanting to miss his daily quest and go to classes late, he decided to start Immediately, he laid flat on the ground, facing the ceiling. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...." He kept counting as he did the sit-ups, it was easier and so he started with it.
-----------
"...498, 499, 500, Argh!" Max yelled as he collapsed on the floor, he never knew that the press-ups will be harder than he thought, if he had known, he would have begun with it and then the sit-ups will come next. Nevertheless, it wasn't the time to regret or lay blames on himself as he was already done with the two.

Max saw the messages but he waved them aside, he needed to drink water and the fridge was at the end of his room, he could not stand on his feet but there was only one option; 'drag' He began to drag his stiffened and aching body on the floor until he got to where the fridge is. He managed to open it after a while of struggle, the first bottle he grabbed was gulped in one go, so was the second and third. "Finally!" he muttered as he sat up, he was now able to feel his body unlike before.
He checked the time and it was almost 7:00 Am. Without waiting to be told, he sprang to his feet and dashed into the bathroom, after some minutes he came out again and began to wear his clothes which didn't take long.
Five minutes was enough for him to get dressed and so he rushed out of his room and made way towards his class which was at the end of the large area.
He got to the class just before the doors were locked and took his seat, no one looked at him as they didn't see any difference in him and secondly he was not worthy of their attention. The teacher soon came and began his daily routine of filling the students with his blabs and mumbles. when his time was off, he left the class without turning to spare the students the last glance.
Max not having anything to do placed his head on the desk to sleep as he felt sleepy, but before he could do that, trouble came looking for him.
"Hey! the boss wants to see you now!" A boy said.
