[This fiction is not R-rated, but suggestive]Price Of Power is an urban fantasy where ordinary humans have 'evolved' to obtain superpowers. Superpowers are not common, but extravagant, as the few that have them are ever-present. The story follows Michael Wattson, known by the public as the infamous and powerful hero "Powerhouse". His journey starts as revenge against a person he has no clue about. But, with such a goal, he knows he is not strong enough. He grows older while his grudge rests unresolved. He has to get stronger.Everything has a price.
