I am looking for stories where mc gains some sort of power. With the following criteria:
-mc is straight.
-no incest
-only mc knows he has power
If possible include the following:
-some sort of story, ie not just mc mindlessly find new girls to bang.
-best if mc is the only one with powers.
good luck with that :/
Good powered/mind control stories are rare and even rarer where the mc isn't banging his family or has some other sinister antagonists with powers in his path.
If you have not read it 'the reward' is a match.
How bout a do over with no incest and no random girls here in there?

Can you link The Reward or say what author it's written by? I think it'd be an interesting read if it indeed match your criteria, but I get a bunch of results just searching for "The Reward", and none sounds like it's the one you're referring to.
-only mc knows he has power
Oddly enough, if I get enough time to finish my WNIP, I was mulling over writing a story along those lines, only the protagonist would be female thus failing that criterion.

Seriously? Your use of acronyms is a sickness.
Yeah. Terrible disease imported across the pond from where it is endemic YVMD
Your use of acronyms is a sickness.
Interesting. In another topic, authors complain that readers don't like reading flash fiction on this site, but you read acronyms!

In a way, Lucky Jim would work, if you take into account that in the follow up explains what his "power" actually was, but the power itself is not flashy in any way.
Also, Living Next Door to Heaven, but again, power is more a strong empathy and later a bit of wuxia-power, not sure if that is flashy enough for you.
Then, Wandering Minds works halfway, the main-characters are a twins (male and female) who both have the same power and share their experiences.
Finding home (or smth like that) by Ernest Bywater might work, the MC can "command" people, mainly females, and they are pretty much powerless to resist. However it's not really portrayed as a power, and it's largely ignored by other characters (as in, assassin breaks in, is commanded and nobody questions the fact that a women who just broke in and wanted to kill the MC is now happily banging him)
I've got to mention one of my favourites, an oldie-but-biggie, Deja Vu Ascendancy. It meets five of your six criteria, missing on the incest which is used as a vehicle to illustrate the character development of the MC, although later some elements of his growing powers (no mind-control!) are revealed to a very few other characters (including his sister). It's also pretty large - now the second largest on the site, having been overtaken by a story which only meets one of your criteria.
ETA: Thinking about it, Refusenik's Island Mine meets all six of the stated criteria, but no sex (which criteria is sort-of-implied by 'find new girls to bang')
Deja Vu Ascendancy also fails to meet the "only mc knows he has powers since the the father of the MC's first girlfriend finds out or is told of at least some of them.
"Mayhem in a Pill" meets your requirements. A bonus as I understand it is that the next chapter is currently being edited and should be up within a week. That should give a new reader enough time to catch up for the new chapter.
But then again I hear the author is a bit of an ass and publishes chapters whenever he feels like it.
My story, The Consequences and Rewards of Playing Hooky has a portion of the storyline where the MC acquires powers. The powers are not the all-powerful kind and while there is a fair amount of sex, it is far from a stroke story (no incest).
The story is a mix of romance, adventure, supernatural and coming of age (as it is set in High School). It runs 520K in length (more than 210 pages in epub format).

Edit: I just noticed that you mentioned that the MC is the only one who knows about his powers. In my story, the only person who knows he has them is the person who gave them to him. I'm not sure if that makes a difference in your potential enjoyment of the story.
Thanks. And that is fine. I just dont like stories where mc tells/let people know he has power, and they act as a group etc. I prefer the solo mc kind of story.
You could look at ElSol's stories. I'm not sure, but some of them might meet your criteria. Here: https://storiesonline.net/a/ElSol
