death... and me

Seven years ago, a dark giant shadow visited my house and killed my mother. It changed me, forever. Four years later, after the Mega Human experiment 2.0 went wrong, I became a mutant. I became.... "Shadow Man!" "The boy behind the shadow has been identified as..." "Jude Rutherford! Seventeen year old high school boy..." "Is he Shadow Man?" When the mutant who killed my mother appeared again to destroy me, I knew being Shadow Man was not just my hobby. It was my destiny. Now I must protect everyone I love. And I must find out why my mother died. Who was the dark shadow? And why did he come for her? I must find out all these while hiding my second identity.

Jackson found no words to respond; he remained silent, holding the divorce papers. He felt numb, detached from the world around him. His wife's words and actions had left him shattered, unable to believe that their relationship had abruptly ended with no chance for reconciliation. As he stared at the divorce papers thrown in his face, he felt a sense of finality and loss engulfing him. He could only blame himself for everything that had happened – if he had been honest with his wife about his situation, perhaps things would have taken a different turn. Walking down the street lost in his thoughts, he heard his phone ring. Initially, he didn't want to answer; he wasn't in the mood to receive more bad news. But something in his gut told him to take the call. "Hello?" he answered reluctantly. "Young sir! Your grandfather informed me to contact you. 100,000,000 has been deposited into your account, and tomorrow your exile period will end. You'll regain control of your company, and the family is coming to welcome you back," the voice on the other end explained. Checking his phone, he indeed saw the deposited amount. Everything was falling back into place. Jackson replied hesitantly, "Tomorrow, I'll turn twenty-five." His mind returned to his old life in the palace and prestigious companies, where he was a rising star before being suddenly banished. He had always wondered when he would return. The voice from the phone continued, "Young sir! Your exile period has ended, and your companies are ready to welcome you back with open arms. We need you, Jackson – you are the heir to our companies, and we cannot do without you."

Arditian, who had just died, opened his eyes and woke up in the body of Myru, a noble child of the Marquess family. But being an adopted child is not that great.

As the world went on as usual, with people working tirelessly to make ends meet, studying sleeplessly to be complimented, and partying endlessly like nothing could stop anyone, suddenly there was a strange explosion in the sky. It only took one day for this explosion to completely change and disrupt the normal balance of everyone's lives in the world. What some once dreamed of has already happened. Modern war broke out, there was discrimination that never ended, and new continents and countries emerged. Amidst the rapid evolution of mankind, there is one thing that still remains a mystery to everyone. Where exactly did the strange explosion begin? What is the reason for all this? Is it really God who is doing the work, or is everything just being played on purpose to destroy the world forever? Despite so many unanswered questions, there is a woman sitting quietly on the steps of a huge mansion. Little by little, every strand of her long, black hair is turning white. Suddenly, her eyes, which were once black, turned a bright golden color. She grinned mischievously and slumped as she rested her elbow on her knee. "Find me if you can. After all, no one really knows that I am number Ten. Come, I have all the answers."

I'm a special guy, no doubt. No one can do what I do. No one has the ability I have and if the government found out about what I can do, they'd probably lock me up to do thousands of experiments on me... and yet, I still manage to do everything wrong. Even with all the advantages anyone can possess and having the literal answers from the universe, I am absolutely lost. In fact, the universe and I have a rocky relationship and are in a constant fight. So, I hope you know that the universe is telling my story wrong. I am not a genius, I am not an innovative visionary and more importantly: I AM NOT GAY.
