The morning wasn't a pleasant one, as Alex sat upright he began to realize what came with today. Glancing over at his alarm clock he notice it was about ten thirty in the morning. With a grimace he climbed out of bed and took a deep breath before sighing.

Heading downstairs he looked into the living room seeing it was as devoid of life as he expected. There wasn't a person in there, none of the things that belonged solely to his parents remained. Now there were only a few pictures, some furniture, and grief.

Making his way to the kitchen he poured himself some cereal, then some milk over the cereal. Grabbing a spoon he took a seat at the kitchen table and ate in silence. Alex had never been very social, or very talkative even amongst those close to him. But he hated the silence of his usual lively home.

Or is it just a house now that he's the only one living in it? It didn't matter. Since he had nothing to do today he went to his room and got changed into fresh clothes. Taking a seat on the edge of his bed he stared at the ground for a few moments. Pondering what he should do.

'Well, since there's nothing to do I should probably rearrange the house. Make it feel less like it's abandoned and more like I just moved out or something.' Alex thought before grabbing his shoes and putting them on.

Heading to the living room he gathered up all the pictures and what few miscellaneous items were scattered around before moving the furniture around. He moved the couch to the wall, making it perfectly symmetrical with the window. Taking the two chairs he at them in the corners on either side of the living room.

Taking the photos he sat them on a table he had sat about a foot in front of the couch, forming almost a miniature shrine in the middle of the table. With that done it was time for the rest of the house.

From constantly moving furniture around furniture my strength and vitality stats both rose by a few points. However the best thing to come of this remodeling wasn't stat points.

'Maybe I don't have to be a hero or villain...At least not at first, I could make a construction company and do some heroing or something for financial purposes.' I had thought.

Now I know you may not agree but not everyone has to be selfless or anything like that as a here. If we're being honest here, not everyone has to be a hero. There were other options, even only in the superhuman field. It would be much easier to be a vigilante, especially with the system. Or even a villain, but at the end of the day it all came down to what one was olay with doing.

Alex was okay with being a villain, vigilante, hero, anything. That didn't mean he wasn't going to be careful no matter what he chose as his future. The more he thought about it though, the more ideal that being a vigilante sounded. He could work on his own time and spend more time training and fighting.
