In the world of Avalon, monsters normally appear everywhere in the world, so the gods blessed the people by giving them 2 abilities when they are born. These abilities will only develop until puberty. Each ability has different ranks, these ranks corresponded to the ability's rarity and function. The lowest possible rank is E-rank and goes up to S-rank. There are only 1 kind of S-rank ability in the whole world, so a lot of people with low rank abilities praise someone who has an S-rank ability.

20 years ago, William was 7 years old, his parents were murdered by a shadowy figure with a knife, this figure moves at the shadows with ease and easily murdered his parents. When that is taking place, William is at their house waiting for them. He is left there because of a letter saying:
"Go to the nearest alleyway, or else I will take your son away. I have an ability that can do that, so come quick."
"W-what is this??" William's father said.
"Let's just listen to it, okay?"
They immediately ran off saying to William:
"We will be back for awhile, okay?"
"Please stay put, William, until we come home."
"Okay mommy and daddy!"
While William is waiting for his parents, he saw the letter:
"Huh? What is this?"
"I should go too! I can protect myself!"
When he got outside there's a man smiling softly, he looked like he was waiting for him to come out.
"Who are you sir?"
"That doesn't matter, can you give me the letter? That letter is actually for me, Hehe."
"Oh uh, okay" He then proceed to give he letter to this man.
He was walking to the nearest alleyway, and when he got there, he saw a dark figure standing beside his killed parents with a bloody knife. The killer raised his hand and faced his palm to his parents ready to cast some spell, but was stopped when William saw the scene and screamed. The killer got startled and teleported with shadow traces left behind.
[SHADOW MANIPULATION: SHADOW TRANSPORTATION]
Adults nearby heard his scream and immediately rushed to the scene and saw the bodies lying down with slash and stab wounds in them:
"What happened here?!? Who murdered them?!?" One of the people with him called the police to investigate the crime scene. The police took William for questioning:
"What is your name son?"
"W-william.."
"Okay William, did you see the face of the culprit?"
"N-no, it was too dark to see his face.."
"Figures, and do you know why they we're there? The alleyway is not that far from your home right? And there was nothing much across that alley."
"They got there because a letter said so.."
"Where is the letter now?"
"I-i gave is to a man, he said it's actually for him.."
"What? So it got to the wrong house?"
"I don't think s-" The officer suddenly interrupted
"Okay son, that's all we need. Follow me, we will go to a staff member on the orphanage nearby, She is waiting outside."
"Uhm, o-okay.."
They walked out of the room and there's a woman waiting outside the door.
"April, this is the kid. I'll be going so take care of him."
"Yes sir!" She said excitedly "Hello kid! My name is April, what's yours?"
"William.." He looked behind her and saw someone that appears to be the man he gave the letter to.
"Okay.. what's wrong?" She says as she glances behind her
"It's noting.. I thought I saw something.."
"Well if that's the case, let's go!" She raised two of her hands and points them beside them.
[DIMENSION HOPPER: PORTAL CREATION]
"Woah.. is that a S-rank ability?"
"It's pretty cool right? Though it's only an A-rank, the rarest one at that. Let's go! It leads to the orphanage."
They go inside the portal, the orphanage looks overwhelmingly huge. He looks up the building with glittering eyes. April smiled at him.
"Let's go inside shall we?"
"Okay!"
When they got inside, they were greeted with a lot of children.
"Welcome!" All the children said.
He was suprised by the greeting.
"Come with me! I will show you your room!"
He followed April as she said. April led him to a room with a pretty medium space, not too small, and not too large. He is greeted with a roommate, he's new roommate looks at him and smiled.
"Hello! I'm John Johnson, 7 years old, what's yours?"
"My name is William Valtor, also 7.."
"Ooh were the same age, nice to meet you William!," He greeted him with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too.."
"Why do you sound so sad?"
"Nothing.."
"Mhm, whatever it is, I won't smuggle in."
"Dinner's ready!" The lunch lady said.
"Let's go William!"
"Okay." He said as he followed John.
The dinner is pretty low classed, it's just mashed potato.
"Let's pray kids! Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the food you have given to us, and please bless this food as we eat, Amen. Go, eat up!"
All the kids excitedly digging in. William takes the spoon and scooped it. But when he ate it, he felt stronger and more energetic. He asked himself:
'What is this?'
The cook noticed his emotions when he was eating and came closer to him:
"Do you like my buffed mashed potato?"
"Buffed? Is it an ability?"
"Yeah!"
William looked at her amazed.
"What rank is it??"
"Ranks don't really matter kid. What matters is how you use it! It's a D-rank ability called [Cooking buffs], when I cook I can put any buff to it. Not that it matters much, so way up kid!"
William nodded and continued eating.

A few hours later, he is in bed looking at the ceiling.
'Who is that man who killed my parents?'
He sat in his bed. And John noticed him:
"What's wrong William?"
He looks into John:
"John, do you where the library is?"
"Library? It's in the far left of the kitchen, why?"
"I need something." He stood up in bed and walked outside the room.
When he is walking to the hallway, he looked outside the window and saw April going through a portal.
'Woah, that's the second time I saw it but it was still pretty cool.'
He goes to the library and opened the creaking door. The Library has a lot of books and tall book shelves.
'Its suprisingly big for a orphanage..'
He goes inside and lit a candle beside the door, he proceeded inside and took a lot of books. He then saw a book called 'The lore of everything' the book was big and was pretty heavy, but he still took it.
'This book is so big!'
The book contains everything. Language, Mathematics, Physics, Science, History and Abilities. Every kinds of ability is also there, he thought to himself:
'what kind of abilities will I get?'
He keeps reading and reading that book until dawn. He then smiled and said
'I want to take revenge on him.'
