Peak Reversal

Chapter 1: Jace

“Didn't I tell you to never show your face in front of me again! Today, I want to break your legs, maybe that will help you to heed my warnings. Boys, beat him up!” a teenage male voice sounded in an alley.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The sound of someone being beaten up resounded in the alley. Two boys were punching and kicking a young man of similar age while the other two boys watched the show in excitement. One of the teenage boys beating up the other boys had fists that had spikes on them while his friend was very muscular.

The teenage boy on the ground was covered in blood and wounds but the beating still went on. @@@@

‘I fucking hate my life! I fucking hate my life! Just because of my Ability, I'm subjected to such inhuman treatment! If only I awakened a powerful Ability instead of this trash Reversal Ability.’ thought the teenager who was being beaten black and blue.

This was the current Earth, everyone now had a superpower which was called an Ability. These Abilities were separated into ranks of Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique, Epic, Legendary and Mythical. The higher the rank, the stronger one's Ability was.

Having a Unique or higher rank Ability means that you have a bright future ahead of you. The teenager who was being beaten up was called Jace and he'd awakened a Unique Rank Ability called Reversal. This Ability allows him to reverse anything to its original state, for example, he can turn a broken glass to its original state without even needing the broken glass pieces.

It might sound like a broken Ability but it's not, the things that he can reverse to their original states are small and ordinary objects like glasses, cups, knives, clothes and such. And in the current Earth, that basically means you're trash and trash are treated as nothing in the current society.

As for how Earth came to be this way, it actually happened hundreds of years ago when the Spiritual Tide occurred. A different form of Energy was suddenly exposed to Earth and caused all living creatures to evolve and grow stronger. Instead of evolving like what wild and domestic animals were doing, humans awakened Abilities.

These Abilities were then used to fend off the now evolved beasts which were running rampant all over the world, hunting and killing humans. This era was then named the Age Of Beasts or the Age Of Extinction. It was in this era that the rankings of Abilities was introduced and those whose Abilities were deemed to be of higher rank obtained full support from the government and grew stronger.

“PLEASE...LET ME...GO! PLEASE! I'M...BEGGING...YOU! JUST LET ME G...AAAHHH! HELP! HELP! AAAHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME! HELP! AAAHHH!!!”

After the fist that broke his bones, spikes pierced him and finally, Chris set him alight and burned him alive. No matter how much he screamed or begged for help, the teenagers didn't stop torturing him and neither did anyone come to his aide. Chris was about to finish him off when suddenly, a massive space crack appeared where they were and all of them fell inside it.

The space crack remained open for a few seconds before closing up and just when it did. Someone appeared there but found nothing except for burnt blood.

[Mhm? I could've sworn I felt spatial fluctuations here but all that's is nothing but blood. What exactly happened here?]

...

Jace woke up but found himself in a completely unfamiliar place, even the air he breathed felt different. When Jace and everyone fell inside the space crack, Jace had immediately lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss and mental fatigue and he woke up only now.

His body was aching all over, he couldn't move his arms and legs or any part of his body because his bones were broken, his skin was burnt to a crisp and he was also poisoned and was on the verge of death. It's often speculated that when someone is about to die, their life flashes before their eyes and Jace was in the same situation.

His breathing was growing softer by the second, his vision became clouded and memories flashed by like a speeding car. The only problem with these memories was that these weren't happy memories but memories of him getting bullied from when he was young till now. Especially the recent ones of Chris and his lackeys trying to kill him, that moment kept replaying in his mind over and over again like a broken record.

‘I want revenge... I want them to pay... I want them to suffer... I WANT THEM TO GROVEL AT MY FEET AND BEG FOR MERCY! I WANT THEM TO SCREAM IN PAIN AND AGONY! I WANT THEM DEAD!’ Jace screamed in his mind and it was at that moment that another thought appeared in his mind like a command. With cold and determined eyes, Jace uttered two words. Words that would change his life forever.

[Peak Reversal!]
