At 45, Chen Wen was laid off. His ex-wife sent a lawyer's letter demanding custody, and his landlord told him to move out within three days.
He was standing on a rooftop when his foot slipped.
Then he could fly.
At first, he could only rise three meters off the ground, and the glow in his palm was about as bright as a phone's flashlight. Chen Wen had no intention of becoming a hero. He delivered food by flying, used his faint glow as an emergency light, and put his newly awakened telekinesis to work fixing his daughter's desk lamp. A middle-aged man's superpowers were all about practicality.
But trouble always found him.
When thugs cornered his daughter, he punched through one of their ribs. The police surrounded him, and a sniper's bullet struck his shoulder. The wound healed in three seconds, and an out-of-control energy beam punched through an armored police vehicle. The Special Investigations Bureau came to recruit him, rating him “Dangerous, Class B.”
When an international criminal group kidnapped his daughter, he went berserk for the first time, flying faster than the speed of sound.
When an overseas superhuman organization crossed the border to provoke him, he single-handedly wiped it out, and his abilities rose to S-rank.
When a joint fleet from six nations blockaded the East China Sea, he hovered directly above their carrier strike group, absorbed energy at full capacity, and disabled three destroyers with a single strike.
When three army groups advanced from the northern frontier, he turned all the equipment belonging to 150,000 troops into scrap overnight.
When a superpower deployed its nuclear arsenal, he underwent his final evolution at the heart of a nuclear blast: matter manipulation. All 1,200 nuclear warheads turned into lead balls as they fell.
At last, the whole world realized that every attack on Chen Wen was only helping them raise an even stronger Chen Wen.
And all Chen Wen wanted was to go home and make dinner for his daughter.
“My name is Chen Wen. Wen means steady. I just want to live a quiet, steady life.”
“They won't let me.”
