Children of a Lesser God

A giant tree popped up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean covering the world in a strange new radiation and because of it, people began to change. First, there are the Chosen. These super humans have only slight physical changes and yet can manifest amazing elemental powers. Next, you have the Infected. These humans have experienced large scale body changes which range from animal adaptations to simply grotesque body decomposition. Most are still normal and sane humans who attempt to adapt to life while being shunned by others. There are some however that have grown deranged and think themselves the rulers of the world. Our MC lives a somewhat lonely life while sometimes being accompanied by his rather senile yet kind grandfather. He has no idea where his parents went after they dropped him off a few years ago, so he has no choice but to stay here. He lives by the idea that he should just be air and not be noticed in the slightest. All of this goes ok until things start changing and Laz starts getting dragged around in many different directions. Welcome to a story of Gods, evolution, love, adult situations and basically bringing a bit of eastern fantasy to western civilization. Hope you enjoy the ride.

"Is this me?" Laz had seen signs that he was changing. His skin had turned a grey color for a while and he even got those strange tribal tattoos that started growing longer. But this? This was like all of that, only worse. Even his hair was longer and there were strains of white mixing within the black. He didn't have a mirror, but he felt like he looked monstrous.

"This is the you if you could fully utilize your abilities. You are not at this point yet. You also lack a good environment to be able to go all out. If you are able to burn energy at the same rate you restore it, your body would become like this, permanently."

This was a shocking revelation to Laz. He had seen others change, like Ruby and Leona, but once they stopped using their energy, they would revert back. And even then, although the changes were intense, they were simply changes and not a full body switch.

But that is exactly what this was.
