Chapter 1 - Origin

In the Cold, sweltering streets of New Haven. A young man by the name of Eren Wayne, a 5'11 tall light African-American boy is seen walking back home from his part time job at a pizza restaurant. Upon reaching his home, Eren notices that the door was open. He rushes in and finds "true darkness" a criminal gang of meta humans ran by their leader Victor Vex.

The goons had vandalized Erens Home. The reason behind this? Erens parents took a loan from them and have yet been able to pay of back, even after the 5 year period was over. The reason was because someone was making business hard for them and as a result, they couldn't pay back the money on time.

"Ooi. Where's the money you promised me?"

Said Victor Vex.

"We don't have it yet...b-b-but. If you give us a little more time, I promise we will pay it back!"

Said Mr Wayne.

"More time? Am I hearing right? Mr Wayne, your interst has already increased by another 6 percent for the extra 4 months you asked in the first place. You know what that means, right? It means you owe me R945 000 already. Now if we add another 4 percent to what you owe us that makes it around one million , three something!

Said Vex

"One million , three hundred and twenty three thousand. Sir"

Said the a goon

"Yeah, you heard the guy. If you can't play me back a small thousands, how on earth are you gonna pay me back a million?"

A terrified Mr Wayne trues to pled with Vex and tells him that he will make a plan. But vex refuses to budge. And being the sick, twisted person he is, Vex comes to a conclusion.

"Oii, I got a good idea. If you sell your wife here to me, I'll reduce it to six-hundred thousand rands. And I'll throw in a extra one month, how's that?"

"Y-you can't be serious!"

Said Mr Wayne

"Oh but I am. Wayne. Take her away, men"

As the goons lay their hands on his mother, Eren who was sitting peeping out in silence picks up steal pipe that was near him. He comes running at full speed, he manages to heat one of the goons on the head and frees his mother, however the goon that he hits gets back up to his feet, almost like nothing happened.

"Mom, are you alright?"

Said Eren in concern

"Eren you shouldn't be here, quickly, run!"

Said His father

Eren who ignores his father's words refuses to run in a attempt to rescue his mother. Vex smirks at him and orders the goons to attack him, but to make sure to not kill him. Eren who had only practiced MMA up until now can only think of it as the only method to protect him. But due to being out numbered he is finally brought down to his knees.

"Damn. You banged him up a little to much. He almost looks like he is dead.(kicks him)" said Vex

Eren whose lifeless body saw the tears of his mother falling only had one thing running in his mind "get up, fight! Or else they are gonna hurt mom."

A goon grabs her by the hair and starts to drag her away, his father is poweeless to do anything as a regular human.

Eren kept shouting to himself to get up and fight. Over, and over again. Until, in a last resort to help him amd his family a change started undergoing a change.

You see, long ago. A meteorites struck down on Aethoria. The surrounding energy of that meteorites started to corrupt the DNA of those around them at the time, this was until the first Meta Humans were born. Scientists called this new gene "Apexium" . And human who had this genetic code means that they can surpass human limits and gain abilities.

Erens hair loses its Original black Auroraean (my version of Agrican) colour and hardness. The hair turns snow whit and becomes more soft. His eyes turn crimson red.

Vex, who notices this watches in awe.

"A birth of a new meta human? How lucky are we, men? When he finishes his awakening, take him into custody. I'm sure we can sell him at a high price." Said Vex

Immediately after Eren finishes his awakening, one goon of Vex who has super human strength tries to hold him, but as soon as he touches Eren, he feels like all the Streangh in his body is getting drained. Eren on the other hand feels like he just got his raw Streangh amplified by 100. They tried to drag Eren, who resists due to his new super strength. As Eren, swings his fist with all his might,he ends up killing the guy by just one punch.

"Hold on. This doesn't make any sense, luke is a Rank 4 meta human. A single punch should be able to kill him. Hey kid what did you do? What did you do to luke?" Said Vex as he looked at Eren with Concern and Rage

"I'm not sure myself, first I looked at him with my left eye, than I felt stronger for some reason. Than when I looked at him with my right eye It seemed like his vitals were that of a normal human." Said Eren

"That of a normal human? Listen kid the only way a meta humans pulse goes back to normal is when he puts on that damn collar to nullify his powers. Unless you got one of those, theres no way in hell you could beat a guy like Luke" Said vex

"Nullify, huh?...I understand it now. I guess my power is to nullify other mutants abilities." Said Eren

"I had enough of your bull shit. Take this!."

A circle made of dark energy appears underneath the feet of Eren. Hands emerge from the circle and start grabbing him in hopes of pulling him down

"Hahaha. Let's see you nullify that one. I don't know what trick you used on Luke, but no one has ever survived getting dragged into my subspace before. Now die, you piece of shit!"
