You flop down on the floor among your papers, looking up at the ceiling, feeling empty within.
Once, you'd spend all day like this. In fantasy land, living out lives and adventures in your imagination- doing good deeds and living the lives of the fictional heroes you adore. But now, something has changed. Ever since your encounter with the punks, and protecting that old woman from them, you've changed something deep down inside yourself. You thought maybe your life could just go back to normal. Everything of the past few days has been working towards just this- keeping your head down and living out your normal, unassuming life as a Level 5'er. But now, you see that won't work for you anymore. Like it or not, you can't go back to normal. You felt something different- it was much like you went through your life in a waking dream, and only now are you finally awake.
You now know what it feels like to make a real difference.
Within yourself, you realize this is not a passing sensation or a one-off surge of heroism. You <span class="mu-i">want</span> this life now. You mentally prepare yourself to accept this- you are no longer content to live an average life. From now on, starting today, you are going to be a different person. Everything in yourself must be aligned for this to happen, and the transformation overcomes you all at once within your mind. You are no longer <span class="mu-s">Max Montagu</span>- you are now a <span class="mu-s">Masked Vigilante</span>. You see the world no longer as a place that you must simply try to survive in and eek out what happiness you can. You must make the world a better place. And you <span class="mu-i">will</span>.
But the only question is... <span class="mu-i">how</span>?
