If given a choice, Shintaro Miki would flee this hunter world as fast as he could, never to return.

What a bright future, a bright future...... Whoever loves to come, who comes, isn't it long enough?

He was so scared of [Heather] that he couldn't help but shiver when he heard the name.

Please don't blame Miki-kun for his timidity, there are almost no people in their time who are not afraid of [Heather], and this name seems to be an eternal nightmare.

Shintaro Miki is from Earth in the year 2042, a world full of abilities.

It all started in the winter of 2020.

On December 20, 2020, in the South Center Hospital in Lyon, France, a nineteen-year-old boy named [Barre François] came to the South Center Hospital accompanied by his parents because his hands often felt inexplicable burning pain in recent months, but when he was patiently waiting for the call in the hall, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arms like fire, and then his arms were directly wrapped in flames, and the jetting of fire beams burned the ceiling with large black marks.

The soaking wet teenager stood in the midst of the 'heavy rain' splashed by the fire sprinkler with a confused face.

This is the scene of the birth of the first Anomalous One officially recorded in human history.

As if some inexplicable switch had been turned on, more and more [Abilities] sprung up all over the world.

The following rules can be summarized in general-

First, the awakening of the [Alien] must be after the biological age of eighteen, which is generally recognized as 'adulthood' in the world.

Second, the abilities of the surviving Adepts will never be repeated, but once the Adepts die, their abilities will reappear in a random human around the globe for an indefinite amount of time (the previous official maximum was 1986 hours).

Third, the awakening of [Alien] has nothing to do with any genetic lineage or external factors, and is completely random.

While there are a number of [abilities] awakened, most of them are not lethal or strange. The fingers emit small streams of water (consuming body water), they can collect odor particles in the air through their tongues like snakes, their eyes glow (up to 20 watts of light bulb brightness), and long hairs grow on their bodies...... This ability doesn't do much other than add some fun or trouble to everyday life.

Besides, no matter how strong the ability is, can it be stronger than a gun cannon? Can it be stronger than a nuclear bomb to slap the face?

Governments will be at the beginning of the 'Awakening Era' those 'not very calm' awakened people either to co-opt or imprison or directly kill on the spot, over time, almost all [Abnormal People] are honest, awaken to the official registration and report, more rules and regulations than normal people to restrain and protect, but will not discriminate against you or provide you up. If you really don't want to register, then hide obediently for the rest of your life, don't show your abilities in front of outsiders, and continue to be an ordinary person.

Such a day lasted for four years, until April 1, 2025, that day that is enough to be remembered by the whole world -

[Scarlet April Fool's Day].

At the final of the 'Superhero Cup', the world's largest paranormal contest held by the country of hope, just as the players were fighting, a floating figure appeared in the sky above the arena, and the slender iron rod appeared in his hand out of thin air and continued to enlarge into a giant stick that covered the sky and the sun.

In the next second, the huge iron rod smashed down downwards with a terrifying and terrible roar.

With a single blow, the Michigan Stadium, which can hold 100,000 people, along with the spectators, staff, participants, and even the pedestrian and vehicular buildings around the stadium, was swept up in the terrifying shockwave.

More than 1.5 billion viewers around the world watched this desperate scene through live streaming.

At the same time as the emergency rescue, the high-level officials of various countries also captured the full picture of this figure through the high-definition video before the live broadcast was interrupted.

A human male, with matte black hair like a crow's feather, a handsome face with Asian features that does not seem like a mortal, a non-wavering expression, 183cm tall, an estimated weight of 69kg, and a black tracksuit with no brand......

I checked the information of the officially registered Alien in the world, but there was no information about this person at all.

Soon, relevant experts raised the question - is the iron rod in his hand a bit like the Ruyi golden hoop stick in "Journey to the West"?

Coupled with this person's obvious Asian face, the high-level officials of various countries, especially the Hope State, angrily questioned the relevant departments of the Celestial Empire. But the Celestial Empire is also confused, if we had such a fierce man, wouldn't it have been hidden as a tactical weapon a long time ago? For the sake of your ugly country's broken game, it's worth releasing this kind of big killer?

Just when the whole world was in anger, panic, and suspicion, the mysterious man reappeared.

On July 6, 2025, the vandals appeared in Tokyo, Japan.

This time, his target is the Tokyo Sky Tree, the 634-meter-tall tower that was once the tallest tower in the world is shrouded in dark clouds that suddenly cover the sky. With a flicker of terrifying light that burned the retina, a spear-shaped bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking and shattering the tower with incredible speed.

At 634 meters, the world's tallest tower collapsed with a terrifying roar.

Needless to say, this time he used the iconic weapon of the god king Zeus in ancient Greek mythology, the [Thunderbolt].

From the time he appeared to the time he left, there was not a single trace of superfluous action or nonsense other than destruction, and the think tanks couldn't even be sure if he was dumb or not.

This time, no one blamed the Greek government, because everyone could see that this man had no demands, threats or hopes at all, and that he had only one aim, which was to 'sabotage'.

London, United Kingdom, 4 December 2025; May 9, 2026, Boston, Hope Nation; 9 February 2028, Lyon, France; 4 August 2030, Australia ......

Except for the fact that he always uses the weapons of myths and legends, there is no pattern at all, and it is impossible to see that he has even the slightest scruple and pity for human life, like a child with a temper tantrum slapping the anthill on the sand of the park with a small shovel, just for venting or having fun.

People couldn't guess what his purpose was, and the scale of the damage he caused was different each time, sometimes killing thousands of people, sometimes simply destroying buildings that no one else had, not killing any life, and even two times when he didn't destroy at all, just floating over the place of appearance for a while and then disappearing.

It's like a [natural disaster] that appears on a global scale at a random time, on a random scale, in a random place, which cannot be resisted, unpredictable, or even condemned in person.

Gradually, some people cursed him, hated him, and called him the Demon King, but there were also a few fanatics with twisted personalities who regarded him as the savior of the last days, the king of powers.

There is no other reason, this unparalleled destructive power alone, if it is placed in superstitious ancient times, it can be regarded as a god.

Of course, countries have fought back, but the time and place of the other side appear are irregular, and it is impossible to deploy weapons and armies around the world to guard against them at all times, right? The small-scale regular forces posed no threat to the mysterious demon king, bullets could not touch his skin, and flames and lasers were useless. Strangely enough, he doesn't fight back against these attacks from the attacked area at all, as long as he shows up at the target location and accomplishes what he wants to do, he will leave on his own.

This day of global fear continues until April 6, 2034, Nha Trang Beach, Vietnam.

Local residents witnessed the mysterious demon king standing barefoot in front of the beach, letting the sea wash over his feet, and looking at the distant horizon, as if looking at or remembering.

One of the brave residents who took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos of the mysterious demon king happened to be an avid fan of the mysterious demon king, and he took the initiative to talk to him in a central Vietnamese accent - "Who the hell are you?" ”

The Demon King tilted his head slightly and slowly said a name. Then he flew into the air, dissolving into the breeze and sunlight.

Later, when this mobile phone video was sent to the research departments of various countries, they were surprised to find that no matter which country listens to the name in the video, as long as they hear it, the Chinese pronunciation and writing of the name will appear in their minds -

Heather.
