You live in a country called Sol, it's a very ordinary country. At least as far as fictional countries go.
The rich are rich and powerful.
The poor are poor and abused.
The taxes are high.
The salaries are low.
Nothing out of ordinary... If it wasn't for three factors.
Your country is under a military dictatorship after the coup 76 years ago, the iternal ministry has unlimited power tondo as henplease and has the habit of making disidents.... Disapear under misterious circustances.
Your nation's religion is a very weird and unique form of sun worship mixed with life affirming poetry, no other country kn the world shares thisbfaith since the country was founded by this sun cult, fleeing persecution from the old world.
Some people, often weirdos, loners, and outcats, develop supernatural capabilities, especially after traumas.
You are one of such individuals, called "THE AWAKENED" among them selves and "ANOMALIES" by most governments. These beings are able to make the impossible possible with their minds. No one is 100% sure of how their powers work... Many hypotheses circulate, but to this day, no one has the definitive answer. Dispite being blessed with capabilities beyond that of the normal mundane humans, all awakened are plagued by a constant headache, a mental backlash of their powers and being surrounded by ordinary people.
Most of the great world events were shaped directly or indirectly by awakened people, and the government is aware of them... Often recruting them from a young age to act as special agents. A very dangerous job but one that offers a very early retirement, for a stable but simple life being paid by the internal ministry to keep quiet and not cause trouble.
That has been your life. You are now 35. Nerdy, weird and out of shape... 5 years of service to the internal ministry granted you a stable salary, a rundown apartment in the city of St. Balder (the largest and most cosmopolitan in the entire county), a new identity, and a big dose of contempt for politics and the mundane world.

You are an exepectional person, capable of bending reality with your mind, forced to live in the world of the mundane.
Hide your abilities and act as a dog for a puppet government controlled by a cabal of far more powerful awakened.
You grew tired of this life and after being attacked by three members of your own kin, with plans to feed on your brain matter to increase their own powers, you decided to sleep eternaly, using the brain matter ofnyour would be killers to created a self sustaining energy cacoon that would allow you to feed on the lotus of your own dreams forever.
The ritual worked and you slept for 14 years, but was awaken by the most recent events that shook the entire aweken society.
A vision, a vision unlike any other.
A pilar of light erupted in a city to the north most country of the continent, among ice, frost and snow a voice echoed in the mind of all awekened people, promises of a sanctuary, away from goverments, politics, mundanes and more importantly a refuge from the constant headaches...
To prove the weigh of her worlds one month after the vision the headache was gone... Almost as if a way for the voice to prove her merits and power.
Since that day your community has been plagued by this internal conflict, leave this boring life for the promise of paradise...
Or be suspicious of a possible trap that awaits those who are crastfallen and weary of life...
Your kind does have canibalistics tendencies, since feeding on the brain of another aweken boots your own power considerable and often is the fastest way to unlock new powers.
What should you do? Its been half an year after the vision, the effcts of your sleep have finally subdued... Before anything you need to eat.
You find yourself in your run down apartamt... What do you do?

Make a sandwich, preferably without brains, eat it. Then head to the so called sanctuary because to die trying is better than sleeping in cocoon.
If the MC is a girl, she must use the reality powers to make her breasts bigger. Everyone will think she's got a small brain.

You look around and there is nothing edible at home, you have been sleep for 14 years... Nothing would have lasted that long... Maybe honey? Either way there is no honey nor anything in your fridge.
You would probably have to leave to find something to eat, either at a restaurant or buy stuff and take home...
You could order food... But you got no cellphone.
There are 4 brain fragments from awakened assasins you collected. But theybwouls not feed you and are saving thwm for emergencies.
You can't just walk to the sanctuary, it's in the other side of the continent, such tripnwould require planing.
You are not cute nor a girl. In fact you are an ugly balding overweight man. Stereotypicaly nerdy and weird.
In fact you don't recall much about your self... Your memory is foggy.
You do remember having three powers.
----
1-Choose how/where to wat.
2- Choose a power. One suggestion per poster.

Going back to the cocoon actually sounds like a good ideia.
You find life boring... And by the looks of it, nothing has improved since you went to sleep... In fact things seem worst.
Worst internet.
Worst tv shows.
Worst video games.

I don't understand

You can transform people permanently into cute 18 years old girls, it works on yourself and everyone else. You can even turn grannies into cute girls.
You can use this power on an aging changed cute girl to reset her age to 18 years old.

Your mind seemsnto still be a little goffy from the slumber... You wonder if bears feel like this after hibernation.
You need to choose how to get food to your stomach... You can go eat somewhere. Or you can buy stuff to make a meal.
If the former, where? Italian restaurant, fast food place, vending machine.
If the later what to buy?
