In a high end apartment complex in the middle of night city. A large bustling city with hundreds of high rise towers and billboards everywhere. Where crime was rampant; however, opportunities were everywhere.
Late in the afternoon a family sat around in a living room while laughing and having a great time. But they weren't playing like any other family would on a Friday night. They would each take turns wrestling each other. Some matches were drawn out while others were quick. Behind the mat they had moved the furniture to place lied a wheel labeled "Friday funday". Multiple parts labeled with different sparring activities.
One being taekwondo only, another as boxing, and the one it was currently set on was wrestling. Halfway through their Friday every person in the world experienced the same thing. Some waking up in the middle of the night, some driving, and some even flying. But everyone saw the same thing.

Everyone in the house blanched at the information magically floating in their vision.
"Are y'all seeing what I'm seeing?" Asked a blond haired green eyed woman. The man next to her, each sitting in a loveseat, agreed attempting to touch it. While the two sons on the other side of the table did the same.
While messing around with the screen the youngest finally figured out how it worked. " look Cam." He nudged his brothers arm. "You just have to think about it, you can't touch it." With that being said the family started staring intently at the floating invisible screens selecting the few options on the screens menu with their intent.
Status
Quests
Shop
These were the only three options available.
All three chose status at the same time. All the training his family had done over the last 5 years was written in numerical form in front of them.

"Hey you look slimmer!" Cams little brother yelled out while pointing at his bicep.
Sinking in the couch further while blue wisps gathered into each person in the room evolving them into something more than human.
At the same time the two parents looked shocked. "This is unprecedented." His mother said. " I can't believe my entire life is added up in front of me in numerical calculations." Her husband nodded too as he reviewed his own stats.
Looking at his little brother who hadn't changed at all Cam wondered in silence. ' I wonder what everyone's stats and innate skills are.'
While everyone was testing the new feeling of energy and strength in their bodies, the boys father who sported a half grey half black beard stood up, smiled widely and said, "let's go test this out. "
The whole family started heading towards the garage, which inside was a home gym filled with everything a strongman would ever need. Walking together like they've done this hundreds of time they each started loading up weights into the squat bar.
The father started with his old max. Something he hadn't lifted in 2 years but shouldn't be too difficult. Back when he was in his prime of 24 he had won multiple world strongest man competitions.
Standing under the impressively weighted bar that each side held five 45lbs weights. Getting under the bar that weighed nearly 1100lbs he stood straight up, lifting it from the bar almost effortlessly. Steadily stepping back he did one rep, then two. Then 10. Taking a second to regain his breath he continued. Eventually repping fifty times.
Slightly winded he shakily put the bar back in the rack.
"This is insane!" He put his hands on his knees in exhaustion. " I can't believe my innate talent gives me this much regeneration." As he looked up he wiggled his eyebrows at his wife.
She scoffed as she walked up to the anchored heavyweight punching bag. Standing directly in front of it in a boxers stance she hit it with a straight. The bag flew backwards quite a bit; however, halfway backwards an invisible impact struck it again causing it to recoil backwards again.
Standing triumphantly she yelled out "double impact!"
The three boys just stared while she stood there awkwardly. Eventually the youngest spoke up. " My turn!" He said as he quickly stood next to the heavyweight bag.
After standing into a taekwondo stance he then kicked, then kicked some more. After the 3rd kick his hits started to speed up. And by his 10th attack he was hitting the bag twice as fast as he started. Eventually he stopped to rest, but he didn't stop smiling.
looking at Cam he breathlessly asked. "What's your innate skill?"
Thinking for a way to show off Cam had an idea. "Mom why don't you hit me in the stomach as hard as you can." His mom looked at him with a questioning face and said " alright, I hope you don't throw up like last time."
Standing in front of her son she posed to strike, going straight for a gut shot as hard as she could manage. As she started her swing cam felt the connection to his body and felt in his soul how to activate the skill. Almost like he had known all his life. Tensing every muscle fiber in his entire body his mothers fist landed.
Instantly his mother yelled out a curse as her hand had felt like she'd hit a brick wall. However looking at cam's now baggy shirt she noticed the tear, then the double impact hit and his shirt proceeded to rip a little bit more. Unclenching his muscles cam stood and smiled. 'That was probably the coolest thing ever' he thought absentmindedly.
As they all let their excitement fade they went ahead and did a normal training day since the energy had wiped the previous fatigue from before. However this training has to be the furthest from normal.
Each member of the wakatsuki family each bore incredibly dense bodies. Kai wakatsuki, cam's father, who was 2nd generation American from Japan had won strongest man 3 times back in his prime. His mother, Kim Walker, became UFC woman's champion at the same time kai had won his titles.
Eventually they fell in love and created their two sons Cameron the oldest at 17, and David their youngest at 14. Each had trained with their parents daily becoming incredible atheletes. Cameron growing into his fathers image at 6'6 and incredibly strong. Participating in sports like wrestling and football his entire life he planned on one day following his father to the worlds strongest man title. David however was more like his mother, more interested in track, martial arts, and a special interest in taekwondo.
With this dynamic they trained all night. Noticing that they indeed gained stat points from training. Kai gaining the most due to his innate skill. Cam after finishing an intense strength session wobbled his way upstairs to his bedroom, showered the fatigue away and slept. Dreaming of how the world would come to change.
