Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 1

Ellis City, Ellis Intermediate School.
"I can definitely do it!"
Vincent's face was full of determination as he clenched his fists tightly.
In the past, he was just an ordinary young man. However, when he woke up, he had transmigrated to a world that was filled with danger.
Monsters were rampant here, and ordinary people were slaughtered. Only those who had awakened and became powerful superpowered people could fight against the monsters.
Although everyone had the opportunity to be awakened, there were many types of superpowers, and their levels ranged from low to high. They were divided into F to S-Classes.
There were also six types of superpowers; all with different functions: attack, agility, control, support, special, and elemental.
If someone failed to reach E-Class superpowers, they would not even have the chance to take the college entrance exam, let alone fight against monsters.
For anybody, the awakening of their superpowers was an opportunity to change their future.
"Hey, Vincent, don't be nervous."
A handsome and tall young man stood behind Vincent and put his arm around Vincent's shoulder.
His name was Swire Caesar. He was a rich second-generation kid who came from a wealthy family.
He was a forthright person, and he had helped Vincent many times. He was Vincent's best friend.
"You've been working hard to train your physical strength for the past three years. You're famous in school. You'll definitely be fine if you work hard."
There was a physical requirement for awakening a superpower. According to the records, strength, reaction, coordination, and other aspects could directly affect the level and quality of a superpower.
Vincent was an orphan. His parents were both superpowered people. They had disappeared mysteriously during a mission, and their whereabouts were still unknown.
Although he had relief money, his life was difficult. However, he worked hard and was first place in school for three years in a row.
It was in fact, a real miracle.
"Thank you so much, Swire."

Swire rolled his eyes at Vincent.
"But you don't have to worry. Even if you can't awaken a good superpower, at most, I'll buy you a bottle of power enhancement liquid."
Vincent did not say anything. He just looked at Swire with a face full of gratitude.
The enhancement liquid had an extremely low probability of being able to strengthen one's power.
Even if it managed to successfully strengthen one's power, it would only have the effectiveness of only 1%.
But even so, it was still worth ten million psionic coins!
Swire was a second-generation rich kid; ten million psionic coins was nothing to him. However, to Vincent, it was a huge sum of money.
"Thank you, my friend. I'll accept it wholeheartedly."
However, Vincent would not have accepted Swire's help in this, even if Swire really bought it.
Nevertheless, his heart was very warm to know that he had such a wholehearted friend.
"Everyone, it's almost our turn. Don't be nervous. Bring out your best form."
At this moment, Class Five's teacher George came forward.
"Teacher George, I'm not nervous. It's just that my legs are a little shaky."
"I'm not nervous at all. Who knows, I might even be able to awaken an S-Class superpower. When the time comes, I'll be specially recruited by the three great advanced superpower schools. If anything happens, I'll help everyone!"
"Just you? Hussef, what a joke! How many years has it been since an S-Class superpower appeared in our city of Ellis?"
"I don't have high expectations. As long as it's not F-Class, it's fine."
...
After hearing that Teacher George was going to start the superpower awakening process, everyone started to feel nervous.
Even the indifferent Swire had a solemn expression on his face.
"Class Five!"
On the high platform, stood a skinny middle-aged man with a hooked nose. His presence was intimidating.
His name was Houston Mobos, and he was the Dean of Education at Ellis Intermediate School. He was only second to the principal.

His strength attained a high-level superpower a long ago. He was only one step away from becoming an S-Class superpowered person.
His superpower level was C-Class.
Hearing Houston's voice, George walked quickly and stood two steps away from him. His face, full of respect for the Dean.
"Director Houston, all students of Class Five are ready."
Houston nodded at George. He then looked at the students of Class Five.
"Class One has awakened one A-Class superpower, two C-Class superpowers, four D-Class superpowers, seven E-Class superpowers, twenty-two F-Class superpowers. Class Two has awakened three B-Class superpowers, three C-Class superpowers..."
"I hope you can surpass them and awaken better superpowers."
Houston's words shocked the people in Class Five.
They never expected that there would be four A-ranked students this year. It would have been great if there was only one in the past.
Those who became B-ranked would be able to apply to the three advanced schools, and A-ranked students would have guaranteed admission. Every year, the three advanced schools would recruit a few hundred students.
"Heaven-defying luck, reaching the heavens in one step!"
The people in Class Five began to discuss in low voices. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious.
Although they were all classmates now, the gap between them would widen immediately after their abilities were awakened. The class hierarchy was very obvious.
Being able to go to the three advanced schools would undoubtedly make this class hierarchy even more obvious.
B-Class was destined to be the class that most people looked up to.
Houston coughed lightly to suppress the discussion.
"As I call out your name, please come and lie in the machine."
Awakening a superpower was not difficult. After many years of development, the machine was well developed.
As long as one laid in the machine and used the medicinal liquid to stimulate the energy contained in the gene, allowing it to explode, the awakening would be completed.
"Emmora."
A teen of medium build walked onto the high platform and laid in the machine. A minute later, the machine beeped.
"Emmora, E-Class superpower, special class, double-barreled shotgun."
Hearing Houston's words, Emmora heaved a sigh of relief.
Although E-Class was not high, it was still better than F-Class. At least, it had the ability to earn its own living.
Vincent and the others cast envious gazes at Emmora.
E-Class was a level that most students who were present could not attain.
"Modey."
A young girl with a ponytail walked out, her entire body trembling with nervousness.
"Modey, F-Class superpower, support class, house cleaning."
When Modey heard this, her face turned pale. She covered her face and ran down the high platform. Tears flowed down her fingers and she fell heavily onto the ground.
Time passed by, minute by minute. Each and every one of the students had completed their superpower awakening. Up until now, the highest class in Class Five was only a D-Class support class superpower. It could be said that the result was very bleak.
George's face turned pale. The awakening of a student's power was recorded in the performance appraisal. If the results were not good, it meant that his teaching ability was not good. This would affect his career.
"Vincent."
Vincent took a deep breath and slowly loosened his tightly clenched fist. He took firm steps and walked onto the high platform.
"Ding! Detected that the host is about to undergo the power awakening ceremony. The Super Wargod System is now being activated..."
'The Super Wargod System has been awakened! Extracting abilities...'
'Extracting abilities completed!'
'S-Class elemental ability, Hellfire; S-Class superpower, Monster Affinity; S-Class support ability, Extreme Speed Training! Not awakened.'
Just as Vincent stepped onto the first step of the platform, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

8 223A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

8 213The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
