"Okay, so I've finally gotten good control over the powers through the contract. According to my observations, I'm only given a portion of the god's power, kinda like a pseudo-demigod. Normally, that wouldn't be enough to operate on, but thankfully I know pratically all the myths and legends in my world so I can replace quality with quantity. Thanks to my training, I can merge some of the powers who have common traits, like with zeus and thor. Also, due to my study of science I can create certain powers rarely seen, like guns and telekinesis. It's good I made these connections previously, so as grow older and train, my capacity to hold more powers increases." - Felix
As Felix was heading back to the house, he couldn't help but reminisce on the mixed reactions when he saved his brother. When showed his strength to his parents his father was actually really happy, thinking it to be a blessing from a certain goddess, his mother being both concerned and happy on how this came to be. Felix waved off as a dream he had and they accepted it as that. Needless to say, they kept a closer eye on him while his little brother klung to him even more. It was getting hard for him to have some time for himself, though he accepted the challenge since this gave him an excuse to test out his new powers.
Years that followed went smoothly for Felix. He started taking lessons from the tutor that was near the village. The village would be as you would expect from old ages just a little more advanced due to the application of magic. Both his moms taught him well of course, but they thought he could use some interaction with people his own age. Felix got along with most of his classmates who loved to see him show off his strength. He also didn't mind giving them some tips to make life a little easier on them, which they soaked up like a sponge. The one he got along with the most was a girl named Cassandra who he called Cassie. She was a year older than him and the first one who he befriended, so he considered her a childhood friend. She had a stubborn and joking streak about her due to her adventurer mother, but Felix thought it was funny. She to wanted to be and adventurer like her mother so Felix didn't mind training with her on his downtime she coudn't use battleforce, but she was going to let that stop her. She figured she just keep training and she would live her own life which Felix admired her for. He didn't mind teaching her a few moves from his world but he figure it just wouldn't be enough. He already had a weapon design for her, but he wouldn't show to her just yet.

In the late afternoon, he went from his house to the village. It was a little far by walking, but with Hermes speed. He was there in a flash. He slowed down as he got close to the village entrance and started walking slowly as he made to the adventures guild. He was meeting his father here as he got word he was coming back and with a little surprise to, so with permission from his mom he decided to see what it was firsthand.
"Well if it isn't the famous teacher's pet, to what do we owe for this." - Female voice
"Don't know maybe it's the famous tomboy we owe." Felix
"Hey, you know I hate it when you call me that. I'm the gorgeous fighter that will eventually wow the world." - Cassie
As always, this was the typical greeting between them. Felix wound up getting spotted by Cassie from behind and she managed to avoid his radar. He'll never know how she does that. She was wearing a regular outdoor gown which went well with her dark blue hair that went down her waist. It was different compared to the boyish clothes she normally wore.
"Seriously Cass, please don't overinflate your head. Big egos is the leading cause of fatalaties for adventurers." - Felix
"Oh you're sucha stiff, must you sound like an messenger every time we talk?" - Cassie
"Hey, it's the childhood friend's rule to be worried. Don't be mad just because I care." - Felix
"Oh please, I get enough of that at home, and why do those kind of rules exsist for your benefit. I mean, it's not like were married. At ...least...not.....yet.....anyway......" - Cassie
"You just had a dirty fantasy didn't you?" - Felix
"What! No! I mean!Why would I think about us cuddling together and kiss- I mean, what are making me say? You perv."
"Right, it's my fault you have bad thought's."
"It is, hmph!"
"Anyway, I'm heading out meet my dad at the guild. He said he's bringing something home with him and I want to be there when he does."
"Really, I wonder what it is this time. Maybe it's a new sword or even another woman. My guess is the latter since it's your dad we 're talking about."
"Don't even joke like that. Our house is already pretty crowded with us in it. Not to mention all that bonding they do when they think no one can see."
Luckily, I don't have to worry about that since my mom is the boss in our household. I shutter to imagine what she do to my dad if she even sensed another woman."

"Makes me happy that she took a shine to me. Anyway I need to be moving on. Want to tag along to see if your bet paid off?"
"No I have to go and make dinner. My dad's working late I want him to come home to a good meal. Thanks for asking though."
Aw look at you. So you do have soft side behind all that rugedness. I will treasure this memory forever."
"You--. I will make you regret this in training."
"Say that after you can land a hit on me. See ya."
They both went there separate ways. While this how they normally act, Felix knew that Cassie liked him. His previous experience with women made him a master in that regard. Soon after he made his way to the adventurer guild. He didn't see his father outside so he figured he was doing business inside and decided to wait. As he was waiting his eyes came across a lone girl. From what he could tell she was about the same age as he was, though she looked smaller due to malnourishment. She had a sad look in his eyes which were barely covered by her black hair. While she looked week and wore wornout clothes, Felix could tell she was cute. The seen was short-lived when a three big men came over to take a look.
"Hey little girl, what's someone like you doing ina place like this hehe." - man1
"Aww lookit er bro, looks like she don't take to kindly to you eh." - man2
"Well I reck n we can change that now when she knows him more." - man3
Felix didn't need a previous life to know these guys were no good. There broken language was enough to give it away.The little girl looked with eyes of resistence and inwillingness. He knew that eyes like would fight back if they had the strength. That look was all he needed to take action.
"Excuse me gentlemen, but that little girl is my responsiblility. So if you please, turn yourselves in the opposite direction and go about your affairs.
The little girl's bewildered gaze matched those of the three men. They couldn't figure out who this kid is and how he suddenly appeared. Either way, this men didn't like the idea of being told of by a kid who hadn't even grow hair yet.
"Look kid, do yerself a fav r and crwl back to yer mama." man2
"Yer xcort duty has jus ended." man3
She'll be com n with us so y don't ye-" - man1
WHAM
He really shoud've thought twice before leaning his head down to Felix.The sentence wasn't even finished before he was forehead flicked to the face straight across the room. Hercules might really gave him an unfair advantage over grown ups.
"That wasn't a request, that was an order and I'd like it to be fufilled right fellas." - Felix
Before they could even get over the shock, the two guy were hit by an overwelmiing force that collided them to the wall. Felix's palms barely touched their bodies and the results turned out like this. Luckily there wasn't anyone other than the receptionist or this would become widespread. Of course to make sure, he erased their memories of the incident so their wouldn't be any trouble.The little girl looked as if the astonishment would never leave her face.When Felix was done, he walked over an held out his hand.
"I would like to know the name of the person I've taken responsibility for." - Felix
The little girl nervously took his hand. As they connected, she felt a trace of warm go through her, like she was being embraced by a loyal guardian.
"M-My na-name is Reyna." - Reyna
"Good name and to complete the pleasantries, my name is Felix." - Felix
Seeing Reyna smile meant he was leaving a good impression. The mood was short lived when his father appeared.
"Hey Felix, nice of you to escort your old man home. Oh what's this, I see you've already aquainted yourself with our new member. Hey what happened to this place?" - Damian
"Hey dad, we ran into a little issue but I took care of it. I wouldn't worry though they probably won't remember after I-- wait did you just say new member?" - Felix
"Yep, this is my little surprise. You see Reyna parents were killed by some bandits and was going to be used by the leader who was a mage. Unfortunately, they ran into me on the way back from my job. Needless to say, their ambitions ended right their and considering the girl and no more family, I decided to take responsibility and take her to our house at least till she finds her feet. See how noble your father is. I even got extra taking out the bandit group."
"---right---." Felix
Felix and his father left the guild while Reyna was klinging closely to him. While Felix was explaining to his father what transpired, he thinking to himself how Cassie instinct almost accurate. He'd never hear the end of it.

8 188Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
