You can also try a One Punch Man.
The MC did something pretty normal(invent something. It could be eating pasta every single day for 10 years) and obtained superpower at some point. So every time someone ask him, he tells them that is because of the banal thing he has done every day for years.
The idea is that it must be something doable, but that nobody sane would do every single day on the long run.
DarkRay Ahahahahahahhahahahaa !!!! You already wrote a new novel, I have nothing to do :)
Otherwise it will be plagiarism !!!
Missrealitybites The idea is curious, probably father was liquidated for special services and the potion was replaced. The main character drinks and see, not knowing, turns into a military laboratory mouse. Hulk 2. Remake. But from this one can do something, there is something in this idea ...
ValKree It’s healthy that you wrote so much, there are some very interesting ideas. I liked the concept found by chance, on the road, the usual and old and kind of unnecessary thing but ... Perhaps a random smelly shoe that they found on the road, or a strange amulet. (somewhat reminiscent of a movie about a teapot that gave money for pain, I don’t remember its name ...) I also read little about super abilities, apart from the novels of Ursula Le Guin, I watched Marvel!
Thanks it was really helpful!
Avalondra The story can be interesting! But here the author will have a clear lack of medical terms to explain this all scientifically. Although I studied medicine, it was an imposed subject, since I am a technician and not a medic. But the idea is intriguing, since the main character has an allergy ... and his superpowers can either improve or worsen. It seems that I haven’t read and seen this yet?
Respect!
Arkinslize Yes, for example, eat ramen pasta or walk those famous 10,000 steps a day for 10 years! I liked the idea!
Maybe the abilities will not be as impressive as the iron man, Rossamaha or the Black Panther ... but something more simple and acceptable in everyday life?
For example, I looked at a book and already knows English with good grammar. can see through the walls? But this is already a flurry, it seems, and it was already somewhere in the stories of Marvel?
But I think the protagonist does not need a system because it will be a double cliché and you will be tortured to describe the world and then the system.
But the idea of "One Punch Man" looks very promising, thanks!
Gourmet_DAO You have my blessing, if you want to use this :D
Gourmet_DAO It reminds me "The Mask" movie, where Stenley found the mask in the river when he was going to end his life If I remember correctly.
Actually most stories with system lose themselves at some point because of this. They either cease to update the status or skills, or little mistakes appear like the levels or stats don't add on, the impact of stat values is not really felt ect..
A good system is not so easy to write even if i love this genre.
DarkRay Thank you, I want to use your idea, I will indicate the author, as is customary in the technical world :) Now it remains to add 25 chapters of the adventure novel and I will complete it. I'll start a new novell of Gourmet with super abilities! True, alas, English is not as good as we would like, but the content will be interesting and not a guide.
Respect! I will think about your idea!
Anya_Nesh Yes, all the plots and ideas are already basically spelled out, told. It remains only to connect the imagination and try to make a compilation of ideas and stories to the best of your abilities!
Arkinslize I also like the genre of the system, but either constant quests are needed there, or possess by default super powers. It’s like in the Age of Empire there was a cheat code - spiceman or bigkar. People appeared in skkafandraf and a black machine shooting with a laser, and this is in the age of the Middle Ages and theodolism. Of course, the wizards enticed the cheat of characters ... but if the player was completely frostbitten, then he made the army of cheat characters and they defeated everyone in the game.
But it’s difficult to describe the system in the mind, because you have to pay attention to the description of the world, and the characters in it, and the events that are happening, and here is the system. That is, as the Russian fabulist Krylov wrote the swan, the crayfish and the pike, I still drag the wagon, one under the snag, the other into the sky, and the third into the deep water.
Gourmet_DAO I'm glad you see potential 
Why not keep it simple and reuse an old one?
You'll get two plots for the price of one.
The Norse/Greek/Japanese etc (or mix them if that makes you happier) pantheons exist, but in the modern world they can't get personally involved (for some convoluted reason or another). Hence they have to solve internal conflicts by proxy.
Add the spice that the proxies in question are never told why they suddenly are able to do some funny shit. Voila, you have a set of super heroes 100% clueless what they're supposed to do with their new abilities, and in the background you have a set of gods wrecking their divine brains about how to make their personal superpowered moron do whatever said god wanted him/her to do.
The rest of the insanity is up to you.
StenDuring The concept is clear. It is interesting in that the hero does not know that he has superpower and where it came from. But to use sacred forces in the text is somehow not the case. Everyone has their own view of the world. But as I have already emphasized, the concept is interesting!
Can this be used? I will refer to you as an author.
Ideas are cheap. It's the execution that takes time. Feel free to use/misuse the idea as you see fit :D
Btw, I was actually thinking along the lines that the proxies, and possibly their surroundings, are very much aware of the super powers -- just not the source. That way you cpould have a shadow war between deities in the background and the usual blatant powergaming between humans with super powered people as an extra part of the arsenal.
StenDuring This is a curious idea. The shady side, instead of spirits, you can use the old aristocratic clans and new clans, or rather groups or workshops. The struggle for power and influence!
My main character is an ordinary person, cook, gourmet, chef. But behind him, a whole shadow war of clans might erupt ... a very interesting idea ?!
