You mean IRL before becoming Cid?
Yeah no that never made it into the LN.

This is in the LN:
I’m proud to announce that I’ve completed another successful session.
When I’m in the thick of it, I rip off every single article of clothing and get buck naked in the forest. It makes me one with the universe. I bash my skull into the trunk of a giant tree to physically force out my worldly thoughts. Plus, it stimulates my brain and urges my latent powers to awaken.
You know, I’m all about logic when it comes to these things.
Yeah, everything’s beginning to get all blurry right about now. It’s a sensation comparable to giving myself a concussion. I make my way out of the forest with the lightest of footsteps, feeling like I’m treading on clouds.
Just then, I see light—two beams floating in the air and slicing through space. How strange. They’re beckoning me, guiding me somewhere.
“Ma-magic…?” I whisper, tiptoeing toward the illumination.
It must be… It’s gotta be! I finally found the powers of the unknown!
I notice that I’ve gone from walking to sprinting, tripping over the roots of trees and continuing to stagger forward—on and on like a beast in the forest.
“Magic! Magic! Magic! MAGIC, MAGIC, MAGIC!!!!!” I chant, bounding toward the lights and ready to snatch them out of midair…
“Hmm…?”
As a pair of headlights flood my vision with a blinding whiteness, I hear the shrill whine of a sudden brake ringing and ringing.
And then a collision. Its impact pierces through my body… And my magic…
____________
Basically he gave himself brain trauma to the point of visual hallucinations and then jumped onto the street thinking the headlights were sings of magic.

Funny thing, in the original web novel (not sure if they have changed since I read it) the MC is killed by a North Korean nuclear missile, literally it strikes on top of him, that's the reason for his obsession with being stronger than a nuclear explosion.
