Young master has given me a job to do. I have to find a child of 10 years and bring him to young master.
I asked him why he would need a child. He said not any child. This specific child as this child holds one of the keys to advance young master's Powers.
Also According to the young master, we are technically saving him from the torture.
The child's name is Armando Muñoz, an African American child.
It takes some time to find out where he lives.
Now I am at his place. And I don't like it a bit. I found out about his family and other stuff. I can only say that his parents are going to die by my hands.
They both are drug addicts. They beat him because of his odd-shaped ears. A side effect due to his X Gene maybe. Everyone here called him a freak. He is not going to any school despite being 10 years old because his mother says that there is no need for freaks to go to school.
Sometimes they don't even give him food, the elderly people give him Food.
Even the neighbors bully that child. What can you expect from this neighborhood anyway? Here everyday murder is a common thing.
Young Master is right this place is hell for a child like him.
Now let's talk about the child. He is brilliant if some kind-hearted old people are to be believed.
He is kind and brilliant. He learns reading by just seeing people reading and also learns English and Spanish language all by himself.
According to Young Master, he has constant evolution of cells as his powers.
Now I am at his house.
The door of the house was opened and you can hear a woman's voice. She was shouting at her son. A man who was Armando Muñoz's father was sitting on the sofa.

" why do I have to give birth to a freak. Look what you've done now. You spilled my drink all over the floor."
*slap*
" sob….sob….sorry mother…sob...this will sob...not happen again, I promise. Please let me go " said the child while sobbing.
And his mother again hit him.
" Excuse me" I said.
The woman who was beating the child and was his mother looked at me and said.
" What do you want? Can't you see that I am teaching this piece of shit some manners? " she shouted at me.
" I would like to talk to you about something which can give you and your husband quite some money," I said with a smile on my face.
" Please come in then, I would like to hear about it." Said the man standing from his sofa.
I enter the house and sit in front of him and said
" Well, You see, I want your son and in return, I will give you 30000 dollars. "
30000 is quite a big sum for some low life scums like them. They looked at me like I have grown a second head.
Armando Muñoz looked terrified at this. He knows his parents will sell him without baiting an eye. He knows people do so and the sold children are then used to do the dirty stuff and how I look old doesn't help him at all.
" 30000 Dollars for this little shit. Look, man, I am not in the mood of any prank that you are pulling on us right now. " the man said to me.
I put my hand into my pocket and bring out three bundles of money, 10000 each.
Their eyes were wide open. The man looks at me, then looks at his son and then at the money.

His wife nods at him and poor Armando Muñoz knows that his parents are going to sell him.
" Mother, please don't do it. I will behave from now on. I will cook for you, do your laundry, I will clean the house too. But please don't sell me, please" He was pleading to them.
They don't even look at him and the man takes the money and said " he is yours from now on". And with that sentence, the boy was sold to me like a bloody thing. They don't even ask me why I want him or what I will do with him.
Armando Muñoz was crying silently at all of this.
" Come here, boy. " I said gesturing with my hand.
He looked toward me with fear in his eyes. He didn't move from his place.
" Didn't you hear you little shit " His mother shouted at him.
He moved toward me slowly, his head was down. I grabbed his hand and leave toward our destination without saying a word. As much as I wanted to kill both of them, they were not mine to kill, no they own far too much to this boy and I will make sure that they pay everything with interest.

Cursed Era
Tilvrade is born into a family of country nobility. A baby with vague memories of another world, he begins his life trying to come to grips with the world he is in now, while fitting into his household's lifestyle and maid's loving attentions. Soon, shadows of intrigue, creep out from the capital of the kingdom and disrupt his day to day. Revelations of odd vestiges of a civilisation spark memories of who he was. Cover is a work by a great artist called madimb. You can find the full image here. Read if you enjoy reincarnation plots, medieval fantasy and a slow developing negative protagonist. Don't read if you like fast developments and action. This story is overly detailed and not for everyone (The MC is still not a teenager as of chapter 40, if that gives you a hint of the pacing...)
