I have powers?

Nero: Hero In An Unknown World


“Mr.Toujo, could you please refrain from falling asleep during my class?”

I fell asleep again during my second class, that makes four days in a row. I honestly can’t remember the last night I truly got good sleep, though it must have been before IT happened...

“Mom! Dad! Where are you?”

I remember this day so clearly as if the moment of it happening is still occurring. I felt the pain of the heat, the burning sensation I felt, the anger, surging through me with so much power.

Slam!

I remember running into something, a wall of some kind. But it felt more than just like a wall like I ran into a person.

“O-Oh my god…brother..”

I ran into the hanging corpse of my older brother, Denji. His lifeless body hung there moving around with the wind, I remember. There was an explosion, something I’ve only seen in anime or the video games I play. I couldn’t fathom the thought of something like this being the reason for my brother's death until I noticed the reason for it.

“Mom? What are you doing to Masuki?!”

“What does it look like Nero, she has to die. She is too powerful for her good, no matter how young she is!”

"Big brother, help me!"

I looked at my sister and I knew I couldn't just let my parents kill her; I couldn't accept that. Then in a blink of an eye, I exploded with heat and wind. The sheer anger I felt towards my parents as I watched them try to end my sister's life, was overwhelming, and it felt fantastic.

"I won't ask again... leave my sister alone or you won't walk away with your life."

"Nero... you wouldn't, we are your family!"

"No, you were my family. My family would never hurt my sister, your daughter!"

Boom!

"This ends here, I will be claiming both of your lives!"

That was 4 years ago now, Masuki and I are both in High School, it's her first year and she just turned 15. My birthday is coming right around the corner, it's crazy to believe I'll be turning 17 this year. Me and my sister are living in a completely different world, neither of us would have seen this coming. In this world, people like me and my sister are highly common, and yet, I always feel like there is someone or something out there watching me and my sister. I think it may just be my imagination though.
