Fang Yizhu lived for eighteen years before learning that there was more to the world he lived in than met the eye.
Damn it, this world actually had superpowers!
When he learned the truth, his mind was blown.
That wasn't the most important part. The most important part was that his childhood friend, whom he'd known since they were both at the orphanage, his desk mate and school commute buddy ever since they started school, had awakened his powers without a word, quietly gathered followers from scratch, and silently prepared to destroy the world.
Well, scratch that last part.
Fang Yizhu just couldn't understand it. He could accept that the guy had managed to keep quiet about something as cool as awakening superpowers, without even bragging to him. But how on earth had he ended up on the broad road to destroying the world?
What had the world ever done to him? Even if this guy had always been naturally different from ordinary people, that was no excuse for turning into a full-blown psycho, was it?!
In any case, Fang Yizhu was sure he had to find out what the guy was thinking. And, ahem, while he was at it, he could see whether he might awaken some kind of power too. Tsk, why was he never that lucky?
And so, the decision was made!
"Superpowers?" His childhood friend, who looked perfectly normal, raised an eyebrow in surprise and leisurely mocked his wild imagination. "Xiao Zhu, staying up late to read novels isn't a big deal, but if you damage your brain, you'll regret it."
"? I've told you a hundred times, I've only stayed up a few times, a few!"
Fang Yizhu studied his friend's utterly flawless expression, thinking with half a mind to believe him: Could it really be that reading too many novels had made him hallucinate? Were those so-called visions of the future really just daydreams?
Half a year later, he watched a magnificent display of fireworks rise into the sky with his own eyes and finally saw the light. So this guy had been calmly making things up with a straight face all along. He really was that lunatic demon king who planned to destroy the world just because he was bored!
Seriously, man, are you okay?
