More than a million years later and our bored gar conquered the world as expected.
"Take to the next one, partner." Clark said after all the faith energy was exhausted.
"DING!"
Power Systems Conquered: 27/50
A gentle chi resounded in Clark's ears and then he witnessed the life of an evil man.

"BOINK!"
I heard so noise that woke up from my sleep. My vision ranged the scene and all I could see amidst the gloom were the dark forms of n.
Their sll was horrid as their sweaty and unwashed bodies assaulted my senses.. But I was used to it all.
For I, too, had the sa condition as these brutes that were with in one room.
"The Evil God has seen your plight and in his boundless kindness, granted you a boon." an unfamiliar voice continued.
It was not a dream after all, I confird.
"Who are you?" I whispered.
"Your question is invalid." it answered.
"What is the boon you were talking about?" I asked again.
"The Evil God has given you one ability as his gift for you. Please choose:
1. Eternal Eyes - could see the past, present and future.
2. Unbreakable Body - a physique that could outmatch the body of the gods in defensive capabilities.
3. Heaven Divide - this ability could grant you clones that would embody yourself in both mind and ability. (numbers infinite)
4. Elental Dominion - all elents shall follow your will.
5. Shattered Image - grants you the skill to copy any technique or natural ability that you see, touch and hear. (This is not limited to animate existences)
.....
I saw myriad of choices from being a man that could kill anything with a touch up to soone who held all the knowledge in this universe in my beck and call.
"Hmmm. What to choose?" I murmured and read at the clear letters that was presented before .
Haste was not in anymore after all the years I spent in this cage. Thus, patience was a best friend i earned the hard way in my long incarceration.
"I choose this." I finally decided after more than two hours of fast reading. My back was still comfortably lying on my bunk bed and I took a deep breath while caressing the long white beard on my face.
The pages from the words that only I can see seed infinite and I did not know if there was an ending to it. But when I had taken one look at the definition of the ability i chose, I was determined to look no further.
This was all I ever wanted in life. And my 90 years in this world was screaming for this to happen every single day. And now I finally got the chance to do so. Please let this be real, I prayed inside.
"Are you sure? After you say yes, your pick can never be altered anymore. Please choose wisely." the voice which was alien to my ears sounded again.
This ti I knew why this was so. It was the sound of a female. A gender I never saw nor heard from again since my downfall 70 years ago.
"I am sure." I answered without hesitation.
"Is that a yes?" the female voice asked once more.
"Yes, it is." I responded as fast as the latter.
"Congratulations, mortal! The gift has been successfully assimilated into your soul. Please enjoy and live a long life ahead. That is my master's only wish. Goodbye." the voice said her last.
"Are you still there?" I tested.
But no one returned my question.
I scrutinized the ability that i got from the god and gave it a whirl.
"FLASH!" my vision turned blurry and then there was nothing.

"DAMON!"
"DAMON!"
"WAKE UP NOW!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"
Loud calls ca from the other side of my room.
"So it is true." I whispered. After that curtain of light disappeared, I imdiately found myself looking at the vague image of my room from ages ago.
"HAHAHAHA!" I laughed as loud as I could until tears were freely falling down my face.
"Damon?" a concerned voice sounded.
"BANG!"
The door flew open and I found myself embracing the familiar figure of my mother. She was a thin middle aged lady and shared vast similarities to my features. I'm finally ho, I thought and continued to cry in my mother's arms.
"What's wrong, Damon? Did those boys bully you again? Tell what they did and I'll teach them all a lesson." my mother offered a brave front. I knew of her difficulties. She can't even catch a fly with how weak her body was due to malnutrition.
"Nothing, mother. I'm just happy to see you." I replied.
"You sweet child. You saw last just hours ago." She smiled and returned my embrace.
"You should go now, Damon or you'll gonna be late for the entrance exam." my mother advised.
"Okay, mom. I love you." I replied and kissed my mother's cheeks.
"I love you too, Damon." she smiled at while she said these words.
"Hmmm... What to do now?" I asked myself after i locked the door of my room. I chose to go back at this ti because this was the day where my life had changed completely. Ti to change the past, I thought and faced the new day with a positive start.
"I'm going to school, father." I bade my goodbyes to an emaciated man who lied on the bed. He was immovable and could hardly even move his head around.
Only his eyeballs road freely from their sockets to let know that he heard clear enough. I dropped a kiss on his forehead before leaving him alone in his room.
"Are you going, brother?" I heard a voice called for when I was about to exit the house. I turned around I saw a 15 year old girl who shared the bodies of my family. We were dirt poor.
