The Rising of the Anomaly

Following planetary devastatation in the aftermath of WWIII, humanity is driven to the brink of extinction as the world is turned into a nuclear wasteland. In order to prevent humanity from being wiped out, a large enclosed dome called the Sanctuary was built during WWIII, saving a small fraction of the world's population. Overtime, the radiation results in the proliferation of powerful, vicious creatures known as Mutants. Humanity remained sheltered in the Sanctuary, with no way of defending themselves against these creatures, until... A few decades later, the worldwide radiation results in an evolution in all newly born humans, known as Paragons. Specifically, they are born with a special energy known as X-Factor Energy, or XFE for short, allowing them to potentially harness and manifest this energy into weapon-like forms, giving humanity a way to defend themselves against the rapidly multiplying Mutants. However, only about five percent of Paragons could successfully manifest their XFE, known as Prodigies. Non-Prodigies are sometimes derogatorily referred to as Duds. However, of the ninety-five percent of Paragons that fail to become Prodigies, there is a miniscule chance of them developing an ability different to those of the Prodigies. The rare few who achieve this are known as Anomalies. Kilzachs is a Paragon who, following a series of unfortunate incidents before getting disowned by his father for not turning out to be a Prodigy, finds himself hitting rock bottom through no fault of his own. Furious and outraged, he finds a glimmer of hope when he realizes that he is an Anomaly, and decides to keep it a secret. Armed with the ability to manipulate time and space, he sets out to prove all those who put him down wrong, by becoming an X-Warrior while maintaining that he's just a Dud with no abilities. Along the way, he does not hesitate to grab any opportunities for revenge...

Chapter 329 - Breakthrough

"Oh, man, I can't believe it, this is seriously for real!" Exclaimed Mitchell excitedly. 

"It sure doesn't feel real...," Muttered Hebi in disbelief. 

"Come on, I already told you guys this was happening," I sighed in exasperation. 

"Yeah, I know, but still! To see it confirmed in an official capacity is just so freaking surreal, dude!" Responded Mitchell gleefully. 

"What he said, I can't believe we're Aces!" Added Hebi eagerly. 

Today's the 16th of April, and these two had just been officially promoted from K-Ranks to Aces. And, well, they were over the moon about it. They'd been pretty shocked when I told them before, but they were practically bursting with delight now that it was official. 

It's been a pretty hectic few days this past week or so...this promotion aside, Zera's recommendation had been finalized, and as of yesterday evening, she was officially a member of my squad.
