《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 2 -My hell for today starts
Advertisement
I barged in straight through to doors just to see that the final person was called out. I looked towards the front of the class to see that my teacher, Miss Trancesite, was red in the face with anger.
"For Drundons sakes Dyne, you're late again, you're lucky I didn't send the roll-call off otherwise I would've blasted you to pieces!!"
I knew that if I didn't apologize soon I would blow up, literally! Miss Trancesite source spells explode, that's because her source was advanced. Advanced sources were different from original sources, as they are much more powerful than a normal source, although the element would disappear if someone gained an advanced source. In her glory days, Miss Trancesite demolished an entire town which was a similar size to Daishin. Thank god she's an old hag now otherwise we would all be screwed.
"Sorry Miss Trancesite, I woke up late and didn't have a lot of time to get ready," I said. Suddenly a small spark appeared in the air, and I jumped back using my source. The spark turned into a tiny explosion.
"No excuses, now get to your designated space, right next to Lance!" Miss Trancesite barked.
With a quick "Yes, Ma'am" I rushed toward my spot, right next to my best friend Lance. I knew Lance ever since we started going to school, he was a perfect friend of mine, and we did everything together, in fact: we were both in the Wasted Dullahan. Unfortunately, due to his physical, sourcery, and academic grades, he was leaving next year for the best human academy: Dence royal school, located in the human capital: Onsice.
"Dude where were you? Lance said excitedly.
"I stole a silver rume from Frederick, got an apple and I chased a man who I believe was stalking me," I replied.

"Well, that is weird".
You can never lie to Lance, his soul ability can read thoughts, he can look through thoughts from the past and the present time, but he can't see memories, just listen to them, unless it's the present time.
Soul abilities are a special ability everyone can unlock by having a traumatic event. The more traumatic the event is, the more powerful the soul ability becomes. Lance cried day and night when his cat Oscar died, then he was happy, reading memories and comforting everyone. The only other soul ability in this grade was owned by Frederick, he can turn into smoke. It's quite annoying when in battle, that's why I always lose to him, due to his soul ability.
"I can tell you're telling the truth, but you have no memory of it. Very strange." Lance said, stroking his chin with his right hand.
"That's impossible, I remember it well, let me pick the memory to make it easier," I replied as I closed my eyes
But I couldn't, not sure why but the entire three minutes in which I was chasing the man, was gone. I was baffled, then a bright flash appeared in front of me.
"Dyne, it's been five minutes into the lesson and you're already drowsing off. Get it together, or I'll face you against someone!" Miss Trancesite roared.
To keep myself going into the next life, I replied with another "Sorry Ma'am".
I already saw that many people were staring at me with disbelief, which isn't a weird occurrence for me. Frederick was looking at me with bloodthirsty eyes, he probably knew that I crossed over to his gangs' territory, and he wanted revenge. Frederick was already tightening his grip on his incarnate weapon, 'Flame executioner'. Every person can summon their incarnate weapon on their thirteenth birthday; the weapon is different for every person who summons one. Everyone can name their defence after gaining their soul ability. Therefore, only Frederick and Lance have their incarnate weapon in my class; everyone else can only summon something wooden and straightforward.

"Oh great weapon, incarnation of my soul, show yourself and aid my fight!" Lance finally yelled.
Suddenly, an amber sword with an emerald blade appeared in Lance's hand. It fit his style just right, like his source of earth. It always amazed me that Lance could pull out his incarnate weapon from his hands without hesitation. Mostly everyone else still had trouble even after two years of practice, but not him, or I. The next thing I did was summon my incarnate weapon myself.
"Oh great weapon, incarnation of my soul, show yourself and aid my fight!" I yelled.
Suddenly and a cold breeze swept the entire classroom, even the flames of Frederick axe withered a bit. Unfortunately what only appeared to me was a wooden staff, it looked just like some other wooden weapon. When you don't have an incarnate weapon, what pops out is a wooden piece that resembles your incarnate weapon. I got the fresh summoning, but I lack the cool weapon. Again a bright light appeared, and I batted it away into the air.
"Well done Dyne, you have extra source homework after this. Let's see you create that wind for five minutes, every day!" Miss Trancesite roared.
After a while, we started the modern practice on a training dummy, my favourite part of the practice. The aim is to inflict our source using the weapons and we can inflict damage any way we want. I start sparring with the dummy, I'm third in the grade doing things like fighting, and it's the only part of training in which Miss Trancesite does not yell at me.
I started with a massive swing with my staff, shattering my dummy and creating an uproar throughout the room. After that amazing performance, I worked on strengthening my arms just by swinging at the dummy. For some reason, I felt that gaze still upon me, I was about to look around but… *Ding*
"All right class good job today, and Dyne work more on your source, not your body, "Miss Trancesite said, this time without yelling at me, which was a surprise.
It seems that source practice wasn't as bad today. But during sparring practice, later on, Frederick will try to annihilate me. I was trying to remember what we had next. History class, my favourite subject was coming up next. Looks like today is not going to be as bad as I thought.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
