It was always the same.
One punch and the monster had fallen, guts spilling everywhere and surrounding the hero with a rain of gore. It wasn't even all that gross anymore; just something he had gotten used to. Saitama would go home, wash his clothes, take a shower, and forget about all of this. It was the same shit every day, and it had gone on for a good year now.
Was he getting tired of it?
Yeah, probably. But what else could he do? He was the strongest person alive, and by god, there were only so many powerful monsters available. It was not like he could order an exciting fight to happen instantly, and damn, even those were hardly ever fought with much effort either.
Three years he had trained for this, had worked so hard to become the powerful man he was today. He had sacrificed so much, his hair, his emotions...They were all gone now, lost to the power he had attained. But...
Saitama had become too strong. Nothing was exciting him anymore.
That was a lie. There was occasional few moments, like when his favorite series updated, or when there was an amazing sale close by. Those moments were the highlights of his day, and they were what made him get through the week. The hero could plan around them, give his schedule some meaning, rather than just run and mope around in his apartment.
Today was not one of those days.
Saitama sighed, turning on his heel and starting his way back home. There were no sales scheduled nearby, but maybe he could still catch some place open for dinner if he hurried. It was getting late, and even though it was a summer, he didn't want to walk home late at night. He had to take a shower first, get today’s grime off, and then he could start arranging plans from there.
It was not like there was a problem with walking home alone in the dark, but it left Saitama with a slight hollow feeling, one that lingered a little too long for his liking. It made him think about his life, made him too aware of the static routine he had built for himself.
His life may be boring, but at least it was quiet.
