Chapter 2 by Molotov989 Molotov989

Do you press it?

Yes

Strange, after loading a little while your laptop opens up a new window displaying a 'Congratulations!' screen. your a little taken back by the informality of it all, but to your surprise a little voice comes on over a slide show of various places around the world.

"Welcome new user to the 'Ultimate Power' program for your home world "EARTH".

Through this program you've been given just about every liberty you can imagine with that lil planet of yours, and as your probably wondering, no this really isn't a hoax, this is the real deal! Ultimate Power is yours to command as you can do just about anything, Anything, and get away with it! No limitations, No restrictions, No Buffering! There's nothing that can get in your way!"

The voice is quite annoying, but also quite informative, after another minute or two of it going through the legalities (oh guess what, there aren't any) to this "Ultimate Power", you check your desktop clock to make sure time hasn't stopped, and it isn't deleting any files as it distracts you. It continues;

"You see you've been chosen to better "THE HUMAN RACE", and through your choices lead your people to a far greater level of existence! Or cast them back into the stone age. After all, it is your will to decide. there are only two rules you have to follow. very simple, but very handy in a tight squeeze."

Ugh. the more it speaks, the more you don't care, sure it sounds interesting, but at the same time, it sounds like a bad sci fi movie script. Mind you, for an internet download you wouldn't expect to even get this level of interaction, so putting it out of your mind for now you bare it out a little longer;

"One, these powers are yours, you can't just go and give them to any other Tom, Dick or Harry you happen to meet. It's no coincidence that you 'stumbled' across this program. As such, this also means that the powers are now attuned to you and can't be removed. that doesn't mean people won't try, if panicked, but that said some guys like being ripped apart by angry mobs!

Two, whilst you control life, you don't control ****. that's a fact that can't be reversed. you can try, shout your voice and click your heels, but that doesn't mean you'll get anywhere.

With this in mind have fun, the world is now YOURS!"

And with that the laptop shuts off for a final time, it takes you a moment to let what you've heard sink in, super powers? really? isn't that the stuff you read in comics or see in films? and controlling the planet? how can that work?

You decide to get a drink whilst your laptop cools down, for some reason the fan was working extra hard. must be a bug caused by that faulty site.

What to do now
