Kael noticed the impending disaster and without a second thought, sprinted towards the woman. Time seemed to slow as he pushed her to safety, the car striking him with a force that sent him soaring through the air. As he lay on the cold asphalt, the world fading around him, a single thought brought him peace—he had saved her.
Kael awoke, his body feeling different, powerful. He was in a new world, surrounded by towering trees with leaves that shimmered like emeralds. He was no longer the man who saved an old woman; he was someone else entirely, imbued with unimaginable strength. Despite this, he found himself clad in peculiar garments, which would soon become the source of much derision.
Every day, Kael faced their jeers, their whispered insults. They did not know of his strength, nor did they care to. To them, he was merely an oddity to be mocked. Yet, he endured their scorn with quiet dignity, knowing that his true self was far beyond their understanding.
Panic erupted as the beast roared, its voice shaking the foundations of the town. The demon, wreathed in flames, laughed at the chaos it wrought. The bravest among the townsfolk faltered, their weapons trembling in their hands. Kael stepped forward, his heart steady as he faced the threat.
"Enough," Kael declared, his voice cutting through the noise. He raised a hand, feeling the power surge within him. With a single punch, he unleashed a force that shattered the monster and demon alike. Silence fell as dust settled, revealing the truth of his might to the stunned onlookers.
The townsfolk, once so quick to judge, now approached with reverence. Kael had become their hero, his strength and courage undeniable. They saw him not for his clothes, but for his heart and his deeds. And in that moment, Kael found a place in this new world, embraced for who he truly was.
