Joseph has only one dream, one he had since he was a child. To have powers. The fantasy of all little kids. And when powers started appearing, lots of these kids received them, but not Joseph. Instead of outgrowing it, he became more and more obsessed. By the time the dictatorship began, he was already deep entrenched in a group known as the Sleepwalkers, a bunch of power-hungry people that come together to try and gain powers at any personal cost. that culminated in an event where he almost died.

Years later, after therapy and acquiring multiple degrees in biology and power studies, he teaches at a high school and coaches the kids who awaken, but under it all he still conducts his experiments in the hopes of awakening himself.

Now, he lucked into a sudden opportunity to gain powers. Will he take on that offer and finally realize his dream?

And when he does... What will he use his powers for?
