Tyler did not pay attention to what the semitransparent screen said, all his attention was only on the screen, he moved his eyes and shook his head but the screen followed him no matter what he did.
I try to think about removing the screen and he took off, thought about wanting to see her again and appeared.
Tyler was very intrigued and fascinated by this screen and began to read what the screen said.
!!!! "What is this s.h.i.+t, kill 10 people?" !!!!
As if a bucket of cold water were falling on him, disillusionment gripped Tyler, after all it was common in fiction novels for the protagonist to possess an Almighty system and he was excited thinking that he could finally leave his life boring and monotonous.
'What will this screen be?'
Intrigued and curious Tyler wanted to know more about the screen. After all this is real life and not a novel or anime, how did this phenomenon happen? and what functions it has.
'Well, I can not fulfill that mission anyway and see if this was real or some hallucination of yours to see so much anime and manga.'
"!! I'm here !!"
Just when he wanted to find out more, his mother's voice was heard from the front door and he went to receive it, forgetting for the moment the screen.
Under the stairs and peeked.
"Welcome home," Tyler said in a somewhat bored voice.
"Did you make something to eat?"
Tyler took what was in the refrigerator, and began to prepare dinner.
"You can go change while I make dinner" said Tyler
"Haaaa, why do you always start to prepare something only when it arrived?" His mother said when he was going to change.
After changing and waiting for dinner to be ready, they sat down together to eat.
"Hey, since you finished school you could start helping me, get a part-time job or something, but do not stay all day lying on the couch, understand?"
" Yes Yes Yes." Tyler replied weakly.
Her mother's name is Sofía and she works in a restaurant cooking and was.h.i.+ng the dishes, that's why Tyler makes dinner because she's tired of cooking to do it at home, she only supports this family of 2.
"You know, there's a vacancy for a part-time job at the minisuper that's a few streets away from here." His mother commented
"Yeah, well, I'll go and have a look later." Tyler said, being the shy guy who is actually a little nervous after all was someone introverted with few friends.
As if he knew what was happening if his mother's head commented.
"Do not worry, Richard also works there"
Richard is his neighbor and also his best friend, listening that his best friend also works there felt calmer.
...........................
A week has pa.s.sed since the screen appeared and nothing strange has happened since then, but he has not been able to find out anything on the screen and he has not left either, his life has been as boring as ever.
He was on his way to work, and he saw many people gathered in front of some giant screens in stores, and they looked a little worried. I was a little late to work that did not see the TV or check the network so I did not know that it got so much attention.
Opening the door of the supermarket he asks his friend.
"Richard, what's going on, park, there are so many people watching TV?" He was intrigued by the strange behavior of the pa.s.sers-by.
But his friend did not answer he had his back to him, totally focused on the TV of the supermarket, Tyler approached and looked.
TV
"There have been a series of riots and robberies by small criminals, the strange thing about the case is that the perpetrators make use of strange powers and abilities"
After that they show images of a man raising a police car and throwing it at them.
"What the h.e.l.l is that, how is it even possible?" Tyler exclaimed.
"I know how it's possible," Richard said with a somewhat unnatural face.
"What do you mean?" Tyler asked anxiously to know what his friend knows.
When Richard was going to talk, another piece of news on the TV caught his attention.
"The government has a statement to transmit live"
Then they show a man in suit and middle-aged on a podium and multiple microphones.
"According to information recently received, up to 5% of the world's population has experienced a strange awakening of certain skills and abilities, which have been used by criminals to instigate chaos, it is recommended to people not home health and to local commercials to close to avoid theft. "
Then there was chaos from the journalists as they all asked questions at the same time, the man pointed to a journalist and he asked his question.
"How could the government know this information and what will they do to solve and control the riots?"
"One of our officers had the awakening and his power is the informant which allows you to know information on a particular issue that includes information about the awakening although this information is very scarce, at this time our officers are doing the impossible to finish with robberies and riots, that's all, thank you. "
After that the transmission ended.
And the TV shows images of the riots and robberies.
"Is seriously?" Exclaimed Tyler felt like in an anime, this was very surrealist.
"It is." Richard said with great confidence.
"How are you so confident ?, This could be a well-crafted joke by some hacker" after all the powers can be done by computer and the interview may be false. "
"since I also had the awakening" commented Richard between proud laughs, he raised his hand and sparks of electricity shone.
Tyler looked with bulging eyes, while Richard saw him with a look of emotion and joy.
The two were so distracted that they did not realize that a man had entered the supermarket with a hood and a knife.
