After meditating and learning to control my power, I decided it was time to leave the park. Peering around, I noticed a crowd rapidly approaching my location. Nervousness overtook me, and instinctively, I pulled a mint-colored hoodie from my backpack, slipped it on, and pulled the hood over my head to conceal my face.
Without a second thought, I made a monumental leap, clearing the two-meter wall as if it were paper. Upon landing, I ran like never before, feeling the wind against my face. My mind was on high alert as I reached a nearby convenience store, where I bought a can of Red Bull to regain some energy and calm my nerves.
Arriving home, I greeted my grandparents, who were already there. The atmosphere was somewhat tense. As soon as I closed the door, my mom called me. She was with my grandparents and immediately asked if I had seen the light that appeared in the park. In my mind, the memory of the dream and the mysterious figure intertwined with the feeling that everything I had experienced was connected to something greater.
"What light?" I responded, trying to sound nonchalant. However, my mom, with a worried gleam in her eyes, showed me a video on her phone. On the screen, images of an intense light illuminating the park played, along with many other videos of people recording what had happened. Seeing that, I felt a strange mix of happiness and anxiety. The idea that I was finally trending, that my life had taken an unexpected turn, excited me.
However, the excitement turned into a rush of adrenaline when I decided to check my own phone. I realized there was a new video posted just two minutes ago. With my heart pounding, I opened it. Upon viewing it, my blood pressure rose, and sweat began to form on my forehead. In the recording, I could see my own jump, my figure soaring through the air as if I had supernatural abilities.
The fact that someone had recorded me at that moment left me stunned. The reality that everything I had experienced was going viral filled me with unease. What would people think of me? What did this mean for the mission I had been entrusted with? The pressure of the moment and the responsibility I felt made me question whether I was ready to face what was coming.
I didn't pay much attention to the commotion caused by my jump, as the hood of my sweatshirt covered my face. After a while, exhaustion overcame me, and I fell asleep. Upon waking, it was past 7 a.m. I got up, went to the bathroom, and returned to my bed. I turned on my phone to see what was on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, then turned on the TV, tuning into YouTube to listen to music while trying to clear my mind.
However, I soon realized that the events of the previous day had gone viral. It was no longer just a topic of conversation in my town; it had become a national and even international phenomenon. My heart raced when I saw that the video of me jumping over the wall, luckily captured from behind, had spread like wildfire. Even more impactful was the video where the white aura rose into the sky. The idea that the whole world could see me in those moments filled me with despair.
I left my room and went to the kitchen to calm my nerves, filling a glass of water while looking out the window. My neighborhood seemed peaceful, which helped me relax a bit. However, I decided not to watch any more news, and the hours passed in a whirlwind of thoughts.
Finally, curiosity overcame fear, so I decided to investigate the place where I had released the aura. Upon arrival, I encountered an overwhelming scene: a large crowd of people, police officers, military personnel, and even special forces. Seeing that, anxiety engulfed me, and I only peeked for a moment before turning around and heading back home. However, before arriving, I went to the mountain near my house.
As I walked, I crossed paths with Gissel, who lived in the area and was leaving her house. I saw her out of the corner of my eye but decided to ignore her. Upon reaching a quiet spot on the mountain, I sat down to meditate, wanting to experience and better understand the powers I had received. I felt that my seventh sense was the most powerful; it not only offered me combat abilities but also allowed me to teleport and sense the presence of other beings, along with their power levels.
As I focused on this new ability, excitement took over me, but also a slight nervousness. I knew this power could change my life, so I decided to activate it. Upon doing so, I noticed that my aura integrated perfectly with my body, which, despite not being athletic, moved with unexpected agility. I was capable of fighting, and upon feeling the strength of my seventh sense, a surge of energy filled me with confidence.
On impulse, I released another burst of aura into the sky, letting out a scream that echoed in the air. That energy felt powerful, and when I finally ran down the mountain at full speed until I reached home.
When I arrived home, the anxiety returned. I entered my room, still with nerves in my stomach, and opened my social media. The discussion about the aura I had released in the park was everywhere, and speculations about who the boy in the videos was began to proliferate.
Just as I was about to sleep, a message made me jump out of bed. Seeing who it was, I noticed it was from Gissel. At that moment, a wave of nervousness invaded me, especially since I didn't have her added on any social network. It had been a while since she had started dating her boyfriend at school, which had left me a bit down. However, I couldn't help but feel curious. Her message said she had seen what had happened and already knew that I was responsible for releasing that aura in the park and also saw that aura on the mountain.
Cold sweat ran down my back as I read that, and with tearful eyes, I responded by sending her a voice message, begging her not to tell anyone. She, with a reassuring tone, proposed that we meet in a park fifteen minutes from my house. I agreed, although that night I couldn't sleep well; my mind was in a whirlwind of thoughts.
I woke up very early, around 6 a.m. The first thing I did was fill the tub to take a bath. After getting out, I went to have breakfast and then meditate a bit more. Then, I continued with my usual routine of helping with household chores. But when I saw the time, I knew it was time to leave.
I told my grandmother that I was going out, and she gave me her blessing. Before leaving the house, I decided to try teleportation to arrive on time. I entered an alley so no one would see me. Concentrating, I searched for Vanessa's presence in the park. I felt her energy, but there were other people nearby, so I opted to move a bit away and teleported to some bushes.
Upon emerging from there, I headed toward where Gissel was. I was surprised at how easy it had been to manage teleportation, considering it was my first time trying it. When I arrived, I surprised her from behind; she was absorbed watching a
