What The Luck!? Chapter 3
Advertisement
Asher stared dumbfounded at the girl leaving the nurse's office, she had thorns wrapped around her head and arms. They were growing right out of her body and even sprouting white roses. This was a beautiful yet cruel power to unlock, he couldn't wait to see what everyone else would gain as he waited. The next student to leave looked incredibly pale, he could have been called a ghost. To back up Asher's thoughts the student seemed to slip through the door to the stairwell. He had really gained the powers of a ghost!
Shifting his weight side to side he was becoming more and more restless, this was something he had only heard of in fantasy or sci-fi tv shows. How amazing was it that he had somehow woken up in another world like this. Asher was sure he would be getting an amazing power. Maybe he would be able to summon demons to fight for him. He could gain the ability to teleport. He wouldn't mind if he gained an ability to shape shift either. With his amazing new life started he needed to get the best power!
The nurse ushered in the three remaining students. Asher was the last to walk in to the massive office. There were many more beds and even high tech medical equipment. This was almost like a real doctor's office instead of the nurse's office he remembered from his world.They could easily perform surgery here with all the equipment, this was not a far fetched idea though. The more Asher thought on it, it only made sense that a world with super powered teenagers needed much more advanced nurses offices. He shuddered at the thought of getting in to a schoolyard brawl with someone with dangerous superpowers.
Hushed whispers from behind a curtain caught his attention after the nurse had led him to a bed for him to wait on. "And you're sure this is the least three?"

Yes yes, we only had enough funds to donate to the school to bribe the principal to let us test five of the new double dose evo shots."
"I just hope it stays stable and actually gives someone two powers, if this works we will be swimming in Nobel prizes for the rest of our years and even in our deaths." One of the voices was almost acting like a mad scientist. Asher started to sneak to a standing position 'maybe I should get my shot another day'
His thoughts were interrupted by a doctor leaving through the curtains he had just listened in on. The school nurse had handed him a syringe full of a clear liquid, "Hello there and happy birthday Asher Ronan. We just need you to lift up your prepared sleeve so we can give you your evo shot. Hopefully lady luck is smiling on you today, you just may get something unique."
Asher gulped down his saliva and slowly rolled up his sleeve of his left arm. The doctor swiftly inserted the needle and administered the shot. 'Ahh why did i let him do that! I'm an idiot, I just went with it like I did before I died' Asher inwardly cursed himself for his just go with the flow attitude he had gotten used to adapting after constant bad luck and torture. The tingling he felt start to spread in his arm was like someone had just hooked him up to small electrical current.
"Now you will want to lay down for about ten to fifteen minutes, the shot will start to take effect and unlock all those hidden away genes you have. Just breathe slowly and relax." The nurse spoke softly to Asher and walked away.
Asher's body started to sweat and become clammy, this tingling traveled everywhere, every single part of him. He felt this was an unstoppable itch with no possible solution, he almost wanted to stand up to run around to try to sake this strange gross feeling, however even shifting his head slightly made him violently dizzy.

These feelings went of for eternity, 'My life is no better, I was brought back from death in to this world just for this torture.' His inner curses became worse and worse until all the sudden his feelings had returned to normal. His ragged breathing fell in to a constant rhythm. The tingling had left as suddenly as it started, The nurse and doctor had both opened the curtain to his bed to have a look at him.
"Ah you see very well off, most of you classmates were sick or passed out. Congratulations on receiving your superpower! Can you sit up for us?" The doctor offered him a bit of a hand and soon the world had righted itself. Asher was still unsteady but he was soon able to follow what the doctor was asking of him.
"Alright since it does not appear you gained a physical mutation can you stand and hop on one leg for me?" Asher obliged, hopping on one foot.
"Now pat your head while you do that." Asher again complied.
"Good good, now used your other hand to rub your belly." Asher was confused this time and kept doing it.
"Now while you do that touch your tongue to your nose." Asher stopped.
"Seriously! What kind of physical is this?" his face was a mask of annoyance and confusion.
"Oh it's not, I just thought it was funny" The doctor was scribbling down notes but still showed his open smile at his teasing of Asher. Naturally Asher was a bit unhappy with this and vowed to get a little revenge before he left.
Un-noticed by Asher sneaking a peak over his shoulder, the doctors notes read;
Test five seems to be in perfect physical condition. The double dose evo shot shows no instability or side effects as of yet. The process seemed to be a bit harsher than the average single dose. Fifth subject shows no open mutations and is otherwise not emotionally affected. The subjects abilities as read by my evaluation superpower are...

Nouvelle chance dans la fantaisie.
Alors qu'il meurt trop tôt, un homme est envoyé vers un autre monde pour achever sa vie. Par la volonté du dieu de la chance, rien de moins, il a maintenant une nouvelle chance...dans un monde de fantaisie. Certains diraient que c'est un véritable cauchemar d'être ainsi envoyé loin de tout ce que l'on connait, pour lui...c'est un rêve qui devient réalité. (Pour ceux qui sont déjà lecteurs de mon histoire "new chance in fantasy", il s'agit ici de la traduction française. Je ne comptais pas vraiment en faire une au début mais certaines personnes auxquelles je tiens ne sont tout simplement pas assez habile en anglais pour lire "l'original". Etant donné que google traduction, mis à part pour une bonne tranche de rire, ne fera clairement pas l'affaire, je vais me faire un plaisir de traduire mon histoire ici. Si cela ne permet même qu'à une seule personne d'apprécier mon histoire alors qu'elle ne le pouvait pas en anglais, je pourrais me dire que ça valait le coup^^. ps: il est fort probable que les noms, et de personnages, et des attaques, restent en anglais. Je trouve que cela à plus de charme. Au cas où vous auriez le moindre soucis de compréhension, je me ferai un plaisir d'expliquer ce qu'elles veulent dire, mais ce ne seront pas des tirades shakespeariennes non plus, rassurez-vous^^.
