Chapter 1
In a large arena, sounds of cheers and roaring could be heard coming from the audience, some were cheering while others were chanting the name of a young man with short dark hair and a lean but muscular build,
standing at the centre of the battlefield that was displayed on a huge massive screen projecting the battlefield which was a square riddle with destruction at different corners.
The torn limbs splattered blood and the charred corpse still expelling sizzling smoke with their faces carrying an expression of agony and horror before they died.
The young man's armour was filled with cracks and some parts were broken, blood kept dripping out of his mouth, with some of his exposed skin bleeding, it could be seen that he looked to be in a vulnerable state now as he used a sword filled with crack to support his wobbly legs.
The gore scene around him seems to have little to no effect on him as he stands proudly looking at the audience with a cold and aloof face.
Crimson!!!
Crimson!!!
Crimson!!!
Crimson!!!
The audience chanted his name with vigour and flushed red faces as adrenaline pumped into their blood whenever they thought back to the epic battle which just taken place, it was exhilarating, some of the audience's voices even grew hoarse but they didn't care, As they kept chanting his name with red veins pultruding out of their faces.
it has never been heard of for a human, one of the races with the weakest bodies to go toe to toe with their mortal bodies against the races at the top of the food chain, but it happens here as the dragon, Hydra, angel, dragonic vampire, shura, beast, Lycan, elf and demi-human torn limbs and drops of blood littering the battlefield is a testament and sign of what happened here and the most exhilarating part is that the young man soloes them all.
The chant of his name shook the arena, as for the young man, he stood at the centre of the battlefield bathing in his glory and accomplishment.
His name is Crimson Walker, from the Noble Walker family his journey to the top of the food chain from the very bottom has been nothing but painful, dangerous thrilling and adventurous.
As a boy abandoned by his family, fiancee and friends all because he wasn't able to awaken any ability, he was disowned and chased out of the family, but then he experienced something strange which made him the weak and useless boy to be strong to the point where people chant his name and his enemies tremble in their boots from fright.
Let's take you for a ride down his memory lane so you know what he had been through.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is just an intermission, the journey will continue when we get to this scene in the future)
"Unawaken"
The clan elder said with a look of surprise after seeing the bloodline AWAKENERS stone not giving any glowing light, he threw Crimson a look of disdain and contempt.
Crimson who was standing on top of a platform with his hand on top of the crystal the size of a cow's head was also confused, there was no way he would accept such an outcome, he isn't that useless even the most useless man whom the goddesses of luck frown upon and the goddesses of misfortune smirk on him, can still awake a grade F ability no matter what, as this world is filled with only awakeners and his case is so uncommon as he even takes a lot of medical pills which help in making his bloodline pure and increase the success rate of him awakening a grade A ability.
He even suspects the elder, as he is the son of the family head and the elder might be planning to take the seat for himself so he's trying to first eliminate him.
As if the elder knew what Crimson was thinking about he spoke coldly.
"This bloodline awakener stone contains over 40 per cent pure Mana 20% qi, 20%spirit energy the rest is chaos energy if the stone gets tempered mistakenly it might get a trigger and its energy is strong enough to kill an advanced tier, so get rid of your negative thought and move out of the way, some worthy people are still there waiting to awake their ability".
Crimson absent-mindedly stepped down from the platform with conflicting emotion as he walked back to the crowd of teenagers from his family around the age of 14 to 16, some of the kids looked at him with their heads raised higher, while some with quite a talent even threw him a mocking smile not minding that he is the son of the family head, Crimson didn't even notice them as his mind was blank.
The ceremony took quite some hours, and during that time lot of teenagers had some abilities and the majority of them awake a grade C ability.
"Wow! it's Gustave look he awakes a grade-A ability!!!"
It's unknown who shouted it but the whole of the teenagers quickly turned toward the alter, standing on top of it was a young teenager age 15 he looked just like Crimson except, for the arrogant look he had, the crystal stone shone with a green light, a sign of grade A ability,
"I know the family head can't give birth to a loser."
"Even though Crimson and Gustave are twin brothers, Gustave is always the best."
"Yeah! And I heard Gustave never for once took a medical pill he relied on himself but he still beat his twin brother."
"If I was Crimson I would have died of shame by now."
"Tsk, I would rather be a slave with an ability than be Crimson."
"Yeah, Crimson is....."
The kids keep gossiping about Crimson not bothering to lower their voices as though they felt they were stronger than Crimson despite the fact they just awaken.
Crimson also saw it but didn't feel excited for his brother instead he felt sad cause he knew his twin brother much better,
he thought with a bitter yet angry expression he bent his head downward in order for none of the kids to see his red eyes and the tears threatening to spill out.
7:53 pm
The ceremony finally came to an end after the elder gave a brief congratulatory message to the kids and some advice, walking out of the hall with the kids even though everyone was chatting Crimson still felt desolated as known bother to talk to him, even when he tried to strike a conversation with them they just look at him and then turn to their friends, it was like he never exists.
Outside of the hall cars and shuttles were packed waiting for each of them, the kids all went to their respective rides most of those who were picked were either the children of the elders of the family or sons of a certain rich man from the family, the other two shuttles were for some unknown wealthy men who came to the awakening ceremony to scout for talents, while most people were being picked Crimson went around looking for his ride but it looks like no one was sent to pick him up.
"Hey! It looks like you've been abandoned by your family hahaha your bro was picked up in one of the shuttles just now I'm thinking you won't have a ride so why not trek?"
One of the kids saw him and made jest of him, although the words hurt him the one which shook him to the core was 'You've been abandoned... abandoned.... abandon'
Crimson shivers at the thought of it.
