Description
His hands are cold. He can't feel them. Their body is colder though. They aren't opening their eyes. Why aren't they opening their eyes? he isn't done playing yet. He just saw the pretty sand!
Why is his mom screaming?
the world has ended years ago. Violent temperatures and unstable land, radiation and mutations, the world as we know it, has changed. Humanity has also adapted to these new changes, mostly by inhabiting abilities that have mutated along with the generations.
Drugs are not a very rare thing in the lower circles of Nyoshu. Low-key drug dealer and insomniac child finds himself indebted for his crimes and forced to enroll in a school for the complete utilization of abilities the government needs. Corruption reigns within the inner elite cities of the nation, while a rabbit masked figure is terrorizing people, forcing the children of a hero programme to get first-hand experience fighting to regain hope for the people. but agoodthing is always bound to fall apart.
Good and evil, black and white, hero and villain. When is it that the line blurs? Is it consent? Willingness? Laws? When does it become a dangerous thing to be enthralled in hope? In unity?
Perhaps Odysseus wasn't meant to return home so safe. Perhaps the world crumbles when Calypso holds the heart of a hero with a destiny. When do you cross the line and become the thing you have fought so hard to destroy? When is it the fault of nurture and not nature?
7 lands discovered, destroying all that is within reach. Walking within a utopia's growing issues and engaging in its destruction is not being a saviour.
Maybe you're not the saviour.
Maybe you're not the hero.
Maybe you're just a destructive force that breaks everything along the line of grey.
We all bleed, after all.

- IllthylianRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Author coming back from a long hiatus seemed the perfect time to review this, hopefully to encourage them to continue writing the world and reboot their interest in their fiction. This work bears a lot of resemblance to some other super-hero teenage flics, though tends towards the darker and more angsty protagonist rather than a naive and brightly hopeful kind. There reads some definite inspiration from Worm, but only inspiration, not copy-pasting. While there isn't too-too much to work with just yet for the reader, the characters, their wants, and the world itself has all been established and is ready to be filled in by the author.
Only a handful of misspellings throughout, though most of these were not incorrect words but rather straight up spellcheck errors, indicating the author probably should take the time to just quickly spellcheck their work before posting, but it wasn't anything egregious. Stylistically and grammatically, it is more or less without meaningful error. The only one thing I'd point to is the over-reliance on the word 'they', rather than 'his friend', 'the dark-dressed Scythe', or even 'he/she' when labeling other characters in the story. It can make it significantly more confusing and somewhat dull when the same word is over relied upon throughout an entire chapter, but is a small complaint and not a serious detractor.
Characters are fine, definitely teenaged and emotional and you'd be hard pressed to find a single chapter that goes for even half its length without someone swearing at another or dropping into foul, punchy language as they try to appear mature, but it works within the context. These are younger kids who are trying to act cooler than they are, failing both in universe and in the reader's eyes, which makes them more human and relatable than anything. The main character can dip a BIT heavily into 'people are just scum they should all die' edginess now and then, but so far it doesn't take itself too seriously and even despit
