《Greatest Superhero》2. Beginner Village Quest

2: Beginner Village Quest
8 years have been passed.
I do sometimes get a feeling, that 'I should stop', 'This is my limit' but then dreams of aliens attacking or a meteor fall strengthen my resolve to continue forward. The greatest superhero never compromises the safety of the world.
Magic and qi are amazing, with these I can do things that are beyond human capabilities.
Take it, breaking a mountain, or running on water, everything is possible.
Oh, by the way, I am also a human, not some sort of monster or something else that novels in reincarnation genre sometimes mention (My life is not a novel). My father is a duke of a small kingdom known as Rocria which is a colony of great empire Efrad and is the third general in command. My mother, I don't know her background but I know she is a powerful wind mage. I also have one elder brother, one elder sister and one younger sister.
I even got a personal butler name, Alfred.
He is a young man in his twenties not some old hag but his name is Alfred. Yeah! I was totally surprised by his name, is it God's wish or my own charisma? Well, I am happy that I got rid of that Lolita which is now my younger sister personal maid.
I still read a lot to find any chance to increase my greatest superpower. In my previous life I use tech to store and sort all these knowledge but in this life I found out I can use my brain as a filter, I can simply store my memories and knowledge using wisp of magic inside my brain and can have some sort of eidetic memory and use my brain as a computer (they call it some advance memory magic).
I am still confused about my superpower, now the light net responds to me more actively and more easily and I can control the compression and expansion to a certain extent but still not to the point where I can see any visible change in my surroundings.
This world is far more complicated and vast than I originally thought; it is 100 times larger than earth;
There is a human nation which consists of many small kingdoms and 6 large empires. It controls the major fertile planes and some eastern territories.

The beast nation which is divided into many tribes controls the vast north, western seas, and plateaus.
The spirit nation controls the great forest in the east.
The demon nation controls the southern islands and great sea.
There are even some damn hidden sects like those on web novels and some higher planes stuff.
People do not have a specific name for this world, some call it as Elemental plane, some as forgotten lands of god, some as Azeroth (for once I thought I was in a f***ing rpg), I don't seriously like any of the names and so decided to call it as earth2, so my dream to protect the earth is as good as it was.
Today I am designing my superhero costume and thinking about my superhero name. Magic really makes work easier, I just have to think about the design and use some wild-beast core threads and I can materialize my design in front of me (they call it some advance transfiguration). Every hero needs a cool costume and a nice superhero name. It may look like it is an easy job for one with knowledge of many comics, movies but it is far more difficult.
Rule#3
3. A superhero name and costume must match its powers.
What do you think of a superhero with powers of a spider wearing a costume of a bat and giving himself name of 'Scorpion man' or
A superhero with a bow and arrow wearing a business suit with a Viking hat and calling himself 'Sword man'
These people are not called superheroes but comedians.
I can add 'man' in my last as I am also a human but I can't use the name that I use in my previous life because I was not able to create my tech suit here. I have researched on this topic and find out that laws of electromagnetism do not work properly in the presence of magic, like magic work on anti-electricity laws which in itself is bizarre as it flips down the basic understanding of the world that I know. Maybe it is something at a quantum level which at earth1 has yet to be discovered or something entirely different.
'Net Man ', it will not work as only I can see my net and even don't know how to use it.

'Magic Man', it will sound too overconfident as many people can use magic.
'Magic-qi Man', isn't that same as magic warriors I have read about.
I look outside the carriage for some time and then start altering the design of my superhero costume. I concentrate hard and let the beast core transfigure into threads and let the threads change into the parts my costume. It's really a headache but it's also important.
We are traveling to the capital city for the occasion of king's birthday and I plan to complete costume before we reached there.
Sometimes I feel if this type of thing was available on earth1, I don't have to spend a million dollar to create my tech suit, and few things would be much easier, well I have it now and I can protect earth2 much better than earth1.
As I was altering my superhero suit, I heard a loud shout and my carriage suddenly stop. I open the door and jump outside and call for Alfred.
"What is happening, why we have stopped now?" I asked.
"Young master, it came to our notice that bandits are active around this area and are attacking nearby villages, so your father, Sir Duke, want to inspect the region with the cavalry unit, " Alfred said politely.
I looked forward and found out father and elder brother are riding on their respective horses and one old man with few people are kneeling towards them with a deep sense of gratitude.
"Thank you for his grace Duke Astrye for listening to our troubles we the villagers of Blue Field will be eternally grateful to you"
My father gave the order to cavalry to spread out and inspect the region for bandits.
Why do I have a sudden feeling that this is beginner village quest?
'Stop it, I have told myself that this is not an rpg world, this is earth2, bandits are an active threat during the medieval period and these people are just asking for help, not giving any damn quest'.
A sudden thought flash in my mind, my superhero costume has been almost completed, why not test it now. I look up at the sky, the night was about to fall. The time has come for me to make an appearance.
I quickly move inside my carriage and gave the final touch to my superhero costume.
After a lot of introspection, I finally decided to give my costume look of a black amour. They can easily bend in the cover of night and give the wearer a superlative feeling. I decided that I should also keep a cape, they had disadvantages during a proper fight but they look cool with black amour costumes.
I also prefer not to wear a mask, they only had disadvantages.
What if the mask falls during a fight?
What if the enemy attacks the mask?
What if someone identifies you using your eye color, nose or chin?
So I came to a conclusion that superhero should wear helmets, 'cool helmets' like power rangers as it comes with many advantages.
They protect your head.
They do not fall during a fight.
They are pretty sturdy and are not like masks.
They hide every facial feature, no identity exposure issues.
(Some even have the money back guarantee.)
So I made myself a cool black helmet with blue glowing slits at the place of eye sockets, directly connected to my brain using magic for fast processing of images.
The main problem I face during the creation of my costume was the chest symbol.
Rule#4
4. Every superhero needs to create his/her chest symbol.
I first thought to use the one I used in my previous life but then I stopped.
'To become the greatest superhero, I need to have the greatest symbol'
I thought 'What is the greatest symbol I need to become the greatest superhero'. I looked around and found 'it was so clear from the start'.
'It was "CIRCLE" '
Yes, a circle is the greatest symbol in the world.
What is the shape of zero? "Circle"
What is the shape of a wheel? "Circle"
What is the shape of sun, moon, and stars? "Circle"
'Yes my symbol will be Circle'
I inscribed a glowing blue circle on the chest of my black amour costume. I even add some special ticks to it.
I bypass the security of the camp and under the bright moon disappear into the wilderness.
"The time has come".

This man regrets not having a choice, so after millions of years of getting shot, beheaded, beaten, stabbed and stoned he escaped from the world by hiding in a bunker with his books.

This is my second novel and I just had this idea when I was trying to sleep and my mind was making me re-live all those goddamn nightmares you don't want when it's 1 am and dark as shit, so I thought of happy things like the fantasy genre and my inevitable death and i'm like why not?
8 92Chosen of Silver
In the lands of Neden, children with gates--birthmarks able to accept and hold the power of soulstones--are collected every five years, when they reach age fifteen to nineteen. It is nearly time for the newest cohort to be celebrated and then conscripted, and with that day looming, those whose lives are about to change wait impatiently for their destiny to arrive...or try to find a way to avoid it: Cal, a refugee from the nation of Caas, doesn’t want to go to Kellingherth to gain the powers of man, beast, or element, and he certainly doesn’t want to join the war efforts after that. The only things he’s dying for are a good drink, dance, and girl, in no particular order. His best friend Raff prefers his sweat to come from a hard day's training than an evening carousing and wishes Cal did, too. He wants to accomplish more with his life than becoming a simple palace sentry like his estranged father and will do whatever it takes to get there. And they are just two of many. When the tenuous peace of the realm is threatened by the arrival of an old enemy, these young chosen will likely be swept up in events rather than prevent them, but the future cannot be rushed or escaped, only experienced.
