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...

Kreig Goes Apesh*t (An AU of Returning to No Applause)
An AU of my previous story, Returning to No Applause, that asks the simple question of "What if it all went wrong?" When Kreig first appears on Earth again, after being stranded in another world for 130 years, he finds himself faced with weapons and guns. In a fit of instinct, he accidentally murders one of the many Fighters, causing what can only be described as a massacre to take place. The story that follows this simple premise is completely opposed to the one told before, focusing less on character improvement and more so degradation. It should come as no surprise that I personally recommend reading the OG story before checking this one out, and if you've already done so, great! Swell havin' ya! Any such readers might remember that I mentioned writing a story like this a while back, and... Here we are. This is in no way a continuation or sequel, nor will it be very long. Expect around 15 chapters at most depending on various factors. All and all, the 5-page length will remain the same (apart from chap. 1) and so will the release time, Sundays at 20:30 EST (I think?). All that aside, I sure hope you'll enjoy this! It'll obviously be very different from the OG story, but I personally think that's a good thing. Cheerio!
