Chapter 1: The “Alien” called “Dawn Raven” 

ED : The supernatural powers doesn’t exists in real and just a fantasy and this story is mainly for entertainment.

***

Late at night in Tokyo. 

Looking up at the night sky, the thin crescent moon light shimmering and swaying. 

I was alone, walking down on an alleyway illuminated only by the flickering streetlights. 

If the police found me, they would probably arrest me for late-night wandering, but there is no need to worry about that.

Because I didn’t intend to stay long in the first place.

It would truly be troublesome if I were to doze off in class due to lack of sleep. 

So I’ll have to finish my work as soon as possible. 

I walked deeper into the building, feeling the increasing lack of security with the increasing amount of trash and graffiti on the walls. 

The alley way was filled with quietness and tranquility. 

The sound of a stray cat meowing and the footsteps of worn-out leather shoes echoed in the air. 

Reflected in the cloudy glass window is my own dull face. 

My eyes, which have been described as looking like dead fish, are lightly covered with black bangs, giving me a gloomy look. 

Only the leather shoes stood out strangely from my rough clothing that is suitable for the slightly chilly early spring weather.. 

I really think that the white ring on the index finger of my right hand doesn’t suit me. 

“……Haa. It’s my choice, though.” 

I couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh. 

I would quit this job if I could. 

But… 

I have to earn money to support my little sister. 

I don’t want my sister, who has a good brain, to have a hard time. 

Do you think I’m a siscon? Yes, I am. 

What’s wrong with loving my only one family member? 

“……Hmm?” 

As I was thinking about something inconsequential, my phone, tucked in my pant’s pocket, announced an incoming call with a pirorin. 

The name on the screen was “Arisa Arisugawa.” 

It’s a complicated name, it’s not a stage name, but her real name. 

In addition, she is my work partner. 

After the third ring, it finally connects. 

||  “—I routinely tell you to pick up on the first ring, don’t I, Kyosuke Sato?” 

Arisugawa says recklessly in a voice as clear as a bell. 

She has the appearance of a beautiful young lady, which can be imagined from her voice alone. 

In fact, she is the daughter of a conglomerate and her looks are quite good, but don’t think that anything is permissible just because she is pretty. 

Well, in reality, it’s usually forgivable. 

It’s more than that. 

“The destination is right out of the gate. I mean, where are you now?” 

||  “I don’t know. I’m lost.” 

“Huh? You have a convenient civilized device like a smartphone and you’re still lost?” 

||  “You know I have DTD, right?” 

[ED: Developmental topographical disorientation (DTD)]

“That’s why I asked you if you wanted to go with me to the rendezvous? But you refused, saying, “I couldn’t bear to walk side by side with a man like you!”” 

||  “It’s the natural order of the world. Just give up and accept it.” 

How can someone provide such an unreasonable excuse this casually? 

Talking with Arisugawa makes my head hurt. 

Her brain is so much better than mine, but where did it go wrong? 

“So, do you want me to pick you up?” 

“Not even close. I was just trying to give you a small pep talk, telling you to work hard on your own.” 

“Don’t skip work all on your own, at least tell me beforehand!” 

||  “I’ll give you the whole credit. Just thank me later while sobbing on your knees.” 

“I know the extent of your treatment of me.” 

||  “Well, I think of you as a useful servant.” 

When I sighed at Arisugawa’s unmannered treatment of me, what came back was an elegant laugh. 

||  “Don’t worry, it’s just a cute joke. I’ll be a little late, but I’m on my way.” 

“Okay.” 

||  “By the way… how many times have I asked you to call me Arisa instead of you—-” 

Putsun. 

Before she can finish, I drop the call and tuck my phone into my pocket. 

It’s true, the choice is between “you” or “Arisugawa”. 

Think about it the other way around. 

There’s no way that a mob like me could ever call Arisugawa like that (you), right? 

Just being able to talk to her should be an admirable thing.

After a few minutes of walking, I arrived at the end of the alley. 

In front of me stood a tall but deserted building. 

There were a few lights on, and I could also see that there were people inside. 

“Well. Let’s get to work.” 

I muttered in a matter-of-fact manner to myself and kicked the entrance door and welcomed my way in. 

The door easily crumbled and blew away, crashing into the opposite wall, shards of broken glasses glittered in the air. 

There was no scream of panic.

Instead, what echoed was the sound of several dry gunshots. 

My hands flashed in front of the rain of killing intent that would easily take a life if it hit a human being. 

Feeling a slight shock in the palm of my hand, I enter the building with ease and look around at the confused men in suits. 

I opened my hands and showed them the dozens of brass-colored bullets falling to the floor. 

The men look stunned as the bullets roll on the floor with a clatter. 

“That’s quite a rough greeting. But, this small show is not enough to kill me.” 

“–You little sh*t!” 

“What are you doing?!　Shoot him!” 

The men pull the trigger of their pistols, revealing their anger. 

The sound of gunfire rang out. 

The faint smell of gunpowder and smoke quickly fill up the room. 

I ran through the rain of bullets, feeling the overflowing presence of violence(from the raining bullets) against my whole body. 

With the slow-motion vision, I saw the bullets approaching in a spiral track, and while avoiding them, I flanked the nearest man. 

I punched the defenseless man in the jaw with the bottom of my palm and the pistol he was holding dropped to the floor, perhaps due to concussion. 

A kick to the stomach, which contains the full force, sends the body bent over and flying to the side, crashing hard into a wall. 

“Next.” 

Without even a glance at the man, I instantly close the gap and deal with the men one after another without killing them, leaving their life intact.

The men seemed to have realized that they couldn’t fire the gun because it might cause friendly fire amongst them, so he tried to surround me with several men and attack me at once. 

However, no matter how many ordinary people they have in a group, they are no match for me. 

Because…. 

“–Untouchable.” 

With a snap of my fingers, I released my supernatural power. 

Then they all collapsed to their knees on the floor and their foreheads attached to the floor, as if kowtowing towards me regardless of their will. 

They couldn’t even move, let alone stand up. 

My ability is the Gravity Order. 

Literally, it is the ability to control the principle of gravity. 

“Guh …… don’t tell me that you’re a “Dawn Raven”?!” 

“Gufu!”

Don’t call me that, please. 

It’s not funny when an adult calls me by a chuunibyou name with a stiff tone. 

Let’s just get the job done and go to bed early. 

All the men soon lost consciousness because they couldn’t stand the force of gravity that had been strengthened. 

Don’t blame me. 

I climbed the stairs used for fire escape from the entrance and put the upper floor under control in the same way as the ground.

From here, it was a game of speed to prevent the target, who seemed to be on the top floor, from escaping. 

Without taking any unnecessary trouble, I instantly reap the consciousness of the guards on standby and move on to the next floor. 

After repeating this process dozens of times, I finally made my way to the top floor. 

Originally, I was in charge of the diversion, but since Arisugawa wasn’t coming, it seemed I had no choice but to finish the job all on my own.

My stomach clutches when I think of what would happen if the target were to escape. 

I take away the consciousness of the two men standing guard, and use “Anti-Gravity” to blow open the grandiose door that leads to the room where the target is located. 

Now, just as we are about to enter the room… 

“–!” 

A fire surged from inside the room like a muddy torrent. 

Then, I protected myself by instantly covering my body with a seemingly thin layer of compressed gravitational membrane. 

Eventually, the flames died down, and a figure stood in the center of the room, where black smoke was drifting in the air. 

“–Hey, hey, you’re so sloppy. Those guards got killed by one little kid like this.” 

A coarse male voice rang. 

The face I saw after the black smoke cleared was the same one as that of the target I had confirmed beforehand. 

Instead of running away, he was waiting for me. 

Was I lucky or unlucky? 

I was safe until now because Arisugawa wasn’t there, but this is a happy miscalculation. 

However, I have one correction to make. 

“Pops, I didn’t kill a single person. Please don’t turn people into murderers without permission.” 

“Oh? It is all the same thing once you’re in a pigsty.” 

“Then, by that logic, you old man is going to die, too.” 

“You’re a fool!” 

The man held out his palm toward me, and shot a red-hot flame out of the void. 

The air was scorched with a roar, and the overwhelming heat of the heated air burned my skin. 

That man’s special ability is “Flame Manipulator” and the strength of that special ability is level 6 out of 10. 

It is more than enough to call it a powerful ability. 

This flame can easily burn a person to death without any difficulty. 

— Yes it is, if it weren’t for me. 

“High Pressure!” 

“–Guh……” 

The gravity that dominates the room, dozens of times greater than normal gravitational force, literally “weighs” the man down. 

The flames were extinguished, and the man can only moan and groan as he crouches with all four limbs to the floor. 

I am the only one standing now. 

“Sorry, old man. You’re going to the pigsty, too.” 

“……That face, the gravity user with the white ring – you’re the ‘High End’ of the ‘Different’?!” 

“It’s too late to realize it now.” 

“……What is this kind of sh*t…! ” 

“–Seven cases of arson. The number of casualties is in the triple digits, and the total amount of damage is well over 100 million. You did it all yourself.” 

What I have enumerated are the crimes committed by the man. 

He is a different kind of criminal who has killed countless people and plunged the world into chaos. 

That’s why, I …… was ordered to help them catch this guy. 

Enough chatter. 

“Old man, you are taken into custody. Don’t even think about escaping.　If I wanted to, I could turn you into a speck on the ground in an instant. I won’t stop you if you want me to do that.” 

The man didn’t react, even though I intentionally gave him a reprieve. 

He must have instinctively sensed the overwhelming difference in power. 

No one would charge in knowing that no matter what they did, it would be futile. 

They put the man in cuffs with a differently insulated handcuff, and the case is closed. 

Arisugawa didn’t show up until the last minute, but let’s just inform her…… 

I quickly send a message stating that I’ve finished the job and then talk to my boss. 

That’s the end of my work. 

I left the rest to the people who were there to pack up the rest of the stuff and I returned home. 

My main priority is to be a student. 

No matter what anyone says, even if I have more power than I can handle. 

That will never, ever change.
