《The Superhero Crafter》Chapter Three Part Two A New Beginning
Advertisement
"I can make us all rich," I said in Somalian as I made use of my Super Charisma Ability as well as my Probability Manipulation ability, "I just need seed money and your ship!" As I explained my plan I saw eyes widening in both hope and greed. I knew I had them as I saw them nodding slightly with what I was saying. It wasn't long before I had the seed money to put my plan into action. I made out a shopping list, got onto the computer when we were in port, and made orders on Amazon and a few specialty shops that sold online. Shipping was to take two or three days so the ship would be in port for about a week. After I made my orders I had nothing to do save wait. It wasn't long before I found out that I was betrayed.
I was in the mess hall when soldiers in full gear came in leading a man in a three-piece suit. I looked up at them when he asked me, "are you an unlicensed Super?"
I looked at one member of the crew who cowered in the corner, looking at me fearfully. I had told them all to keep their mouths shut, but this one didn't listen. The captain was also there, he didn't look happy.
"Do we have to have a license to exist? I wasn't aware of that," I said.
"Unless you are a Somalian Hero you need a license and a passport to go anywhere. You cannot conduct business."
"So let me guess, I become a Somalian Hero or I am stuck on this ship," I answered.
"No, this is a Somalian vessel and you, if you don't become a Somalian will go to a holding cell. We will treat you as a hostile force."

I didn't have time for this. There were too many to fight. Was that true? My Super Agility allowed me the ability to move fast, but how fast? I looked at the soldiers between me and the door. I suddenly knew what I had to do. I must bribe this man. I must bribe him without any money. This would be hard, but not impossible. I could use my Super Charisma to defer the payment of the bribe. I could give him the traitors share of the profits. I could ... I spent several moments going over my options. I decided to stall for time.
"You could be a very rich man," I told the man in the suit.
"How is that now?" asked the man.
"You will never know because there will be no riches," I answered, "I will go with you to the holding cell."
I needed to find out something, how fast was I compared to a base human. So I tested my speed out. I should have done this long ago. I got up and ran to the door as fast as I could. I moved so fast there was a loud pop, airflow was knocking several soldiers off their feet, messing up the entire room. The glass of the porthole shattered. Suddenly guns were pointed at me.
"Ok people let's go. No one gets any money now," I said waiting for them. I wish I had the force wings and the force armor. One thing I didn't know was if I needed to be licensed, there must be a lot of Supers around. I wondered how many there were.
"How many Supers are in Somalia?" I asked.
"None."
"How many on Earth?" I asked.
"How should I know. Are you sure you want to go to a holding cell?"

"I don't want to go to a holding cell, but I want what you have to offer even less," I said.
With that, I was ushered off the ship and into a car waiting for us. Within moments we were gone.
"Is there Internet in the holding center?" I asked.
"No."
"Then I don't want to go there," I said.
We drove on in silence. The longer we drove, the angrier at my situation I became. When we arrived at the holding station, a military one, I was livid. I was put into the cell. I sat in the cell thinking about things I would do to my betrayer.
After about an hour of my pity and anger party, I stopped. I pulled up my sheet and read. I had 24,500 experience points. I check out my quest log, more quests had come in.
"Earn 10 million dollars: reward 20,000 experience points."
"Build a multidisciplinary science lab: reward 50,000 experience points."
"Create EIS: reward 1,000,000 experience points."
I continued reading everything I could find on that sheet. I found that with my increased intelligence I could gain more information from the things on my sheet just by focusing. I continued to read through definitions and possible uses. I learned how to add powers. I could do so by creating serums and leveling. I found out I could only apply earned levels at a rate of one per day. I didn't notice it but I leveled five times over the past week.
I did notice one thing on my sheet, that was the next possible power choice. Gadget Inventor, Engineer, or Super Powers Engineer. There was a star next to the Super Powers Engineer choice. This is a unique skill that cost 100,000 power points, or 1 million experience points. The choice would disappear once a choice was made. It was late. I went to sleep on my holding cell cot.

Adventures of one dude with an afro
...East-Blue, West-Blue, South-Blue, and North-Blue are the four seas that constitute most of the whole planet. Humanity is thriving on the small patches of land which poke out of the four seas. These four seas are separated horizontally by a humongous mountain which encircles the whole planet, called Red Line, and vertically by, the most dangerous sea known to man, Grand-Line. Both sides of Grand-Line are flanked by strips of the windless sea called Calm Belt. The eternally windless strips of sea are impossible to cross with only wind-powered ships. It might be calm over the water, but the water hides nasty beings called sea kings, not to be disturbed as the name suggests. People in this world can train themselves past any and all physical limits, only their mentality is the problem. A strong mind makes the body strong. Everyone in this world possesses this almost magical power in them called haki. There are three types of haki, two available to everyone and the last one is seen only once in seven million people. Different haki can be used to strengthen the body to even affect logia users, to predict and to foresee attacks, sense others’ prowess and even exert your will upon others. Fruits of the sea devil. Otherwise know as devil fruits, give miraculous powers to those who eat them, but robs them of their power to swim and makes them vulnerable to anything from normal seawater to the crystallized power of the sea, sea stone. Devil fruit powers are categorized into three different categories: Zoan type fruits allow their users to transform into an animal of a sort and gain their abilities. There are also human and mythical type zoans so they should actually be called transformation powers but those ones are extremely rare to the point of none existent that most just associate zoan transformations into animals. Logia fruits make their eaters become the element that the fruit was. For example, the one who eats the fire logia fruit is able to use fire in their attacks, become fire to avoid physical attacks and much else. Last but not least are the Paramecia fruits, these fruits are undoubtedly the weirdest and most random of the bunch. There are some that let you attract metal, make you slim and slippery, make your body able to split your body into many pieces, makes your body rubber, lets you control vibrations, light, pressure almost anything you can imagine. Lastly, there are two opposing factions in this world. The marines and the pirates, most strong people are part of either one. Both have their ups and downs. Pirates are free people who do whatever they want. Good or Bad. Marines are the upholders of justice in this world yet no justice system is without corruption. I closed the introductory book while frowning. "Isn't this a summary to the one piece world...?" The cover isn't mine and I am willing to take it down.
