What can a nobody do?
Well... work.
Yeah, even a nobody can work, apparently. Thank god for the internet. The golden goose of mankind. All you need is a... why am I telling you that?
Now, there are all kinds of jobs. Only, the one I do is maaaaaybe kind of sketchy. But it's a job.
For some reason, I was abandoned as a child. Or probably not. I have no idea, I was a kid. I don't remember most of my childhood. But, I grew up in an orphanage, if you could call it that. Because I was abandoned. No heartbreaks here.
I could think of a reason why ya know. It's too easy to think of it. Couldn't you? I mean its sooooooo easy.
My talent.
Presence nullification. I could stand right next to you within an inch and you probably won't notice. (Please don't stare at a mirror all the time, that's just cheating.)
Wow! Great! Nice talent! You're gonna be somebody someday!
Well, it sucks when it blooms when you're a child.
Imagine that. Walking in a mall full of people, when suddenly, you become nobody. Imagine that as a kid.
That, I remember. Funny thing, memory.
You get it.
Probably not. But you get it.
Again, no heartbreaks here. I'm cool.
Enough of that. Where was I? Jobs.
Yeah. My job.
I was an informant. I know stuff. Not everything, but enough to make the mayor quit over a scandal. Enough to make even a grown man cry. Enough to make even lil ol' me numb.
Yep, that's me. A glorified stalker.
Thanks to mankind's golden goose, I had a life. Yippee! Congratulations.
Anyways, that was me. Hello again.
I was on my way to my favorite spot in the city: Megalodon Tower. Owned by Jeremiah Megalodon. A megalodon in terms of sharks in this city. The most powerful man in the city. A megalodon.
Literally. I mean, the whole family's got noble bloodline and all that, whatever.
Talent: Megalodon
Shapeshift, summon, acquire characteristic, anything you can imagine. As long as it's related to the megalodon. And the standard passive powerful bloodline buff.
Yeah. Very cool. And fair. There are drawbacks of course, but who cares? Probably them, cos Jeremiah's fucked chicks all over the place and none got seeded. Low chance of passing down the bloodline and all that.
Probably more drawbacks, hell if I know.
Very powerful quir—talent.
In my case, face-to-face with any combat talent is very bad. But this one? Oh, boy. Maybe even just a flick will kill me.
Where were we? Tower. Yeah.
How do I get there? Well... I just walk over.
You guessed it.
Still can't discover lil old me.
Yay!
Bypassed all security, blah blah. Well, nobody can't stop me from reaching the roof.
Anyhoo, I was on my way to the tower. For my job.
Not to sta—see his daughter Cara Megalodon. Certainly not.
Same age as me. Taller. Redhead. Beautiful. And just as deadly. The inheritor. Inheritress? We'll figure that out later.
The successor of Megalodon Corp.
One of the 7 most beautiful roses in the country.
Top 2nd year student of The Spire. The biggest organization in the city and further out in the stars. (I'm also a student btw, though nobody knows)
Anyways, my job. Highest vantage point in the city, towering over the clouds. Armed with special binoculars, courtesy of the dark side (hehe), I could see almost all of the city. Enough to get a scoop for my job.
•———•———•———•———•———•———•
Where were we? Ah yes. On the way out, to the tower. Life changing thing blah blah. Card on the front door, etc.
Let's begin.
There I was, a nobody. On the flittering days of youth.
Walking over the card.
Because...
WHO THE FUCK LOOKS DOWN FIRST THING OUT THE DOOR?!
WHO'S THE RANDOM FUCK WHO SENDS A NOBODY ANYTHING?!
MORE TO THE POINT, WHO THE FUCK SENDS ANYTHING TO THE FRONT DOOR WHEN WE'VE GOT DEDICATED POSTING SYSTEM?!
Anyways, that's me. Hello again.
Now, If I could turn back time (which I can't), and started that day again (which I would've), things could've ended up differently (probably).
See, the thing is, once again, I'm a nobody.
I expect nothing. Because what can you expect when there's nothing worth expecting? You get what I mean?
Anyhoo, the card. Life changing thing that one. Would've changed my whole world.
Sadly, it wasn't meant for me. Haha! Gotcha!
Because the owner of that apartment which I am currently living in was dead.
Killed.
By me.
Whoa there, that got dark.
