I Became a Druid Chapter 0

Prologue

“Everyone in the world has at least one superpower.

Oh, of course, when I say superpower, I don’t mean a paranormal ability. No one can shoot fire from their hands or fly in the sky.

That would be a ‘paranormal’ ability, not a superpower.

The superpowers people possess are abilities that surpass the ordinary level.

For example, over in America across the sea, there’s a person with a superpower of setting cutlery flawlessly.

Even if you serve a fast-food hamburger with the cutlery he arranges, it feels like you’re dining at a high-end restaurant.

You might think this is a useless ability, but he is someone who receives countless love calls from the global restaurant industry, not just in America. There are even people willing to pay him the price of a mid-sized car just for one cutlery setting. Do you now realize the impact of his power?

Another example is a person with a superpower of translation. This superpower, while still called a superpower, is closer to being a paranormal ability.

This is because they cannot only speak languages, they’ve never learned fluently but also perfectly catch the nuances of speech and understand the hidden meanings behind it, achieving a 100% understanding.

This person is often employed in critical situations between countries, and it’s said they get paid about the same as an average employee’s hourly wage for just a single character of translation.

Of course, not all superpowers are as amazing as these two. If there are good superpowers, then there are also bad ones.

There are people whose superpower causes them to always pick the wrong choice in a game of luck, or whose cooking turns into a twisted dish from the underworld when they try to make an ordinary meal.

Because of this, people without impressive superpowers sometimes joke, “Reality’s balance patch is a load of crap!”

If you get a good superpower, your life can take off that day, but if you end up with a bad one, it can become a burden on your life instead.

Anyway, why am I telling you this story now?

Because I’ve awakened a super rare, super profitable power!

“The balance patch* worked out perfectly! This is what a proper patch should look like!”
