《The Tales of YAP: The Superhero Series》CHAPTER III: BACK TO EARTH-36
Advertisement
Yassi Anne P. Sorento, the human being we now know as the super-heroine YAP, paused in her story to take a sip from her clear glass. She quietly admired the sweet taste of the water, rid of the pollution and chemicals that infected her home planet.
The other creature, albeit glowing fainter than before, inched closer towards her proclaimed hero, awaiting the continuation of her story. The cavern grew steadily darker as the silence prolonged, and there was the slightest disturbance in the calm atmosphere. Yassi, of course, noticed it right away.
"Is something bothering you, Karen?" Yassi asked her luminescent companion.
Karen squirmed around, internally struggling about something. The hero only waited patiently. Finally, the creature shared of her troubles.
"YAP, my hero, you have to understand... Oh, I ask dearly that you pardon the certain... physiology of my kind," Karen whimpered out. Yassi laughed with no ill intent and urged her to continue. "You see, my hero... My kind, the Luminards, have an inquisitive disposition. Must I say, we have our innate ability of honing our own curiosities, and if we master them, we become adept in asking the most significant of questions."
There was a hint of pride in the larger creature, bulbous in form and circular in structure. Yassi nodded in agreement. "I know of the capabilities of your kind, dear Karen. I believe that is why you have become the top journalist in the Galaxy Inquirer."
"Hah hah! I am honored, my hero, so honored that you know not only of my kind, but of my lowly self as well!" Karen exclaimed, her graying skin once again glowing a bright yellow. Her huge round eye, almost the size of the hero's head, blinked at the storyteller. "Then I must ask, my dear hero, for I know I shan't be sitting still for the next earth-hours if I don't get an answer... YAP, I have never heard of any of the humans you have mentioned thus far. I-I know this is your story, and I, personally, am very interested to find out more about your school life and lovely friendships! But... shall I say, is this the story of the human girl Yassi Anne, or the story of the great superhero YAP?"

The Luminard, having said her piece, shrunk back in anticipation, expecting a rebuttal, a furious complaint, or even a fierce blow upon her eye, the creature's greatest weak spot. However, not one of her predictions came true, for as vicious the rumors were about the hero, the actual girl was as kind and gentle, and would never inflict harm on a weaker being. Unless, of course, something wrong was done unto her. So, a mere act of asking a question was, to Yassi, nothing of dire consequence, hence her calm temperament.
Yassi carefully placed her cup down on the wooden table, and leaned back on her seat. Her relaxed demeanor affecting the sweating Luminard as well. When she saw the creature finally calming down, she proceeded to rid the creature of the anxieties brought by ever-looming curiosity.
"You have to understand, as well, Karen, that becoming a superhero is never an easy task. You do not simply become a hero immediately after being born. And you do not even become a hero after taking a special pill." The creature gasped at the mention of the pill, for she had heard rumors of her idol acquiring her powers from it. After a short moment, Yassi continued, "No, Karen. I believe I started to become a superhero long before I gained my powers."
Yassi almost laughed out loud when she saw Karen's excitement and shock on her bright face. She took a breath, her gaze focused at something far away as though looking straight into the distant past. "My heroic deeds started because of a complex set of circumstances and of dozens of important choices I had to make. If I hadn't met the human girl Jesta, I would never have gotten my powers. If I hadn't joined Zero's club, I would have never come to have the moral compass I now take so much pride in."

Karen nodded her head, but she still seemed to have a bit of doubts. So, to indulge her curiosities, I decided to go on with the story.
"Have you prepared yourself? For I shall continue my tale, and for your benefit, dear Karen, I will start with the very first instance I have decided to become a hero."

Peerless Hegemon
Warning: Can be quite tearjerking and depressing (or so others say). If you are weak to that and hates that kind of thing, then this story is not for you === Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime. First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice. Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur. In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face. === Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character’s emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is, obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. He is not soft and does not spare anyone because it is “Bad” so expect that there would be genocide and some bloody encounters. I want this instead of just the MC’s search for life and its complication. Where Philosophy and values exist. A story where every action has proper consequences, and not everything can be conquered with a single punch (unless it can be, no need for an unnecessary complication if it can be avoided). Further Notes: This is a story that will gradually increase in word counts and become Chunkier as it progresses and will almost never be below 2000 words, but if the word count will only lengthen the chapter at the expense of a finished tale, it could and would be cut off before 2000 mark), give it a try, it won’t disappoint (I hope). And if by chance that you like it, giving a good Rating and Review will be encouraging to me and possible readers. Schedule: Monday and Friday If you want to read ahead and/or support me to creating this story, you can do it through my Patreon (link below the next chapter button.) This is also a rewrite of this: Peerless Hegemon [OLD] | Royal Road
