ITHOE: Bastions of the universe

Iracle Sci-fi

“What would you do if you are blessed with great power by a cosmic entity? Clarke is a homeless convict who has first contact with an alien on a backwater alleyway that was his temporary home. If the face of the reality of extraterrestrials he starts to doubt his sanity. He is given an offer, the opportunity to become a scion, to inherit great power and an even greater responsibility. A Bastion of the universe to protect an entire galactic arm, a galactic region. Even with an alien in clear sight his mind is filled with doubt. But he tentatively agrees. He's almost forgotten about the visit, more focused on the hardship of his life, when he's pulled into a dreamscape of several powerful entities. There he's initiated into a society of universal heroes, a cosmic order of protectors. His powers are bestowed, his training starts and with the great powers available to the Bastions he comes to learn all that is possible with his powers. He is a Bastion of Genesis, an entity with the power to engender the beginning, that ontological orgin, of anything. He obtains 100% mastery of his powers, but there's a caveat. It is against the principles of the Bastions for him to be given all that power at once. He must start from the bottom. He has the mastery but it has been locked. To unlock them he must achieve great things, become a Bastion in truth in the sight of many. For each achievements percentages of his great power will be unlocked and returned to him. Now Clarke is left with an important question, what to do with such a great power? He decides to take Earth by storm and assume the responsibility of a hero. Will he fail or will he fall? He does not know, but intends to do all he can to succeed even though he dies trying.”
