Ch-0 Prologue

“The target is dead….. 5 causalities.”

In a room, more than 7 people were surrounding a body riddled with holes, the room was dark and filled with rotten stench.

The men started to check for any survivors, ignoring the body in the middle.

“What’s up with his face?”

Two men who were keeping a watch on the body were baffled at the face of their target, it was disfigured beyond recognition, his body shook as the last light of life was dimming in his body.

“All the higher ups tell us was to eliminate him… his identity is unknown.”

They were only briefed of the situation of the building and were ordered to eliminate anyone in the building. And collect whatever they find in the building.

Though during the mission, all they found in the building was a lone man, saying him a man will be understatement, even after being shot and riddled with bullets, he still took down 5 of their teammates.

“Clean up the vicinity! I want this area to be quarantined.” Then moving his head toward the radio strapped on his shoulder.” HQ… the area is secured.”

Opening his eyelids, Helius was surrounded with bright lights.

What happened?.. it’s so bright” As his eyes get used to the light, he found himself in a white room covered in talisman.

“Hospital?”

The room he was in right now belonged to hospital and seeing the room filled with talisman with the soothing glyph drawn on it, he can understand that it was intensive care unit.

He remembered coming back from school on his bicycle and after a giant impact on his shoulder, he didn’t remember anything else.

As he forced his mind to remember more something clicked.

In his memory, he saw a handsome boy sitting in front of him with a blade in his hand, the boy placed the blade on his face and then started to slowly cut it.

Helius felt pain, but the boy in the mirror didn’t flinched as he continued cutting his own face, slowly disfiguring and making it more mutilated, he slowly cut his eyelids, removed his lips, cut his nose and during all that time, he didn’t make a sound.

Why does it hurt? Though the boy in front of him didn’t stop, but Helius was feeling his own face being cut up.

The pain was unbearable.

“Stop!”

The boy continued cutting his face.

“Stop it!!”

The more the boy mutilated his face the more pain Helius felt.

Questions appeared in Helius’s mind.

Why is he feeling pain?

How did he get here?

“STOP IT!”

For the first time, the boy stopped moving his hands, he looked straight at Helius with a mocking expression.

“Mr. Sura!”

In the room the doctor has arrived with a nurse following him, he looked at Helius wide open eyes, he already got the message that the patient has awoken, but seeing the present state of Helius.

“He’s gone into shock…. Ready the insulin!”

The world of Gaia.

A world full of wonder and dangers to behold.

A world where personal ability and strength is what matters most.

The Federation of Solitary Alliance which was made out of 13 human kingdoms and 2 dwarf kingdoms was the only barrier between the demonic beast and the society, even after the technological advancement in spirit technology. They were unable to cleanse the corrupt land.

*Slap

“You did what?”

The boy was shivering with fear, in front of him stood his father fuming with anger, broad shoulders and the aura of an expert.

“your was angry father… that trash pushed me too far!”

*Slap

“Whatever he did … he was your schoolmate! How will it look on your resume, how will it look at your Wimbledon name, you won’t be admitted in any guild with criminal record.”

“Sorry father! “

“Go Now!!.. your funding is being cut by half!”

“Yes father!” The boy left the room, his expression was restless, he left out something important that need his attention.

Looking at the departing back of his son, the man couldn’t help but sigh. His son was young and arrogant, he didn’t put anyone of the lower birth in his eyes.

“It’s all her fault!” Besides blaming his wife he couldn’t do anything else.

Now he will need to bribe the officers, bribe the victim and the disciplinary committee of the school will also need to be taken cared off.

Just one year left!..... if something happens to that kid, I don’t think I can cover up for Tommy.

“Mr. Sura… your bill has been paid by the Wimbledon family… you don’t have to worry about money!”

“The only thing that the head of the Wimbledon household ask of you is to not report the accident… he is even ready to reimburse you with 20k credits.”

Helius looked at the doctor, his eyes were dull with dark spots surrounding it, his dream was not good.

“I will not report!”

Knowing that the other party was of powerful background, ensuing this matter further will only harm him, he silently accepted the money without a question.

The doctor silently left the room, probably to send message to the Wimbledon’s.

Wasting 4 days of school… cracking my skull! I was lucky that people sent me to the hospital without any delay.

Remembering the dream again, he felt goose bumps all over his body, the boy was not sitting in front of him, it was actually a mirror the whole time, he was cutting himself in the dream.

Knowing that he is overthinking things, he closed his eyes and got lost in the world of dreams again.

Ch-1 Coming back home

Throwing the bag in a corner, Sura fell on his bed.

I missed it. His room was filled with broken electronics and crystals chips, being an orphan and living on the government relief fund, he could only afford a small room.

He slowly got and went to the fridge, and taking out a can of beans and meat, he sat back on the ground and started eating.

Sura lived alone, while eating he opened the TV in which lifelike picture of a stadium came.

“Those Indo-bulls will lose again.”

TV and working on broken electronics was the only pastime he had, changing the channel to news.

“The level 7 combustion guns was able to thwart the attack of Ariel demonic beast, the Tymn corps new weapon has increased the value of company, increasing the price of their shares, as for the other FSA Weapons guild shares have plummeted by a long margin.”

“Revynd Association has gone bankrupt, their newest Wing crashed on the onlooker, causing the death of 13 people. The government will reimburse the family of the victims with 30k credits.”

I should have asked for more.

Filling up his stomach, he went to his bed and started checking his watch, he was surprised to see 100+ messages, all sent by one fella, his dwarf friend Brohimir.

Feeling warm inside his stomach, Sura replied instantly telling that he was alright and Brohimir didn’t need to worry.

Sura had already forgotten about that weird dream he had, probably the dream was result of the trauma of the accident.

His room was clean even though he hasn’t been here for a week, looking at the computer, Sura had a unique urge to search something.

He sat on the computer, and surfed the whole net.

He was rich now, with 20k credits he can upgrade his tools and even buy some memory crystals and shards. And even level 2 grade circuit glyph was not so far.

His only source of income was the government relief fund, and the money he earned from fixing the broken machines.

The money provided by federation was enough to keep his stomach full, but to study at a prestigious academy he needed 120credits per month.

“Level 1 essence collector… price 300 credits.”

“Leve 2 Glyph inscripter ……1500 credits.”

“Level 1 Schelling tool….200 credits!”

“Level 3 artificial assistant Sora,… 13k.”

No one in the academy has one… so even though it’s expensive, it can help me a lot.

What he was doing now was just looking at the stuff that he wanted to buy, he didn’t had any relatives, so saving the money was a wasteful thing, and the only the power of money can be seen is when it’s used to purchase something.

Ordering his stuff online, and going back to bed, he closed his eyes.

Need to wake up early!.. Brohimir will surely nag again!

Getting lost in a sweet dream, in which Sura had a class 4 wing with blazing fire coming out of its engine, he flew it all over the city, and gorgeous girls looked at him in worship, shouting his name in madness, creating an encore.

Ignoring the cries of the girls, he flew through the clouds and flying in between a group of ariel exotic beast, they all shrieked a piercing cry which can shatter a person’s eardrum, but being a class 4 wing, it was useless.

“haha! This is great!” Looking down, he found the city so small that it can fit in the palm of his hand, he was feeling mighty, he was feeling superior to the ones below him.

“Someday……..!” Closing his eyes in dream, he opened it to find himself in a dark room, with a giant man standing in front of him.

“Kid! Turn around!” ordered the man.

At first Sura couldn’t understand what was happening, but his body involuntary moved to face backwards.

Him again? In front of him was placed a mirror, he noticed the same boy he previously saw in the dream, but this time he looked more young, he can see the man unbutton his shirt and removing trousers.

A thought appeared in Sura’s mind .RUN!, but the boy didn’t move, he just waited.

Knowing the boy in the mirror was himself, he tried to do his outmost to move his body, but whatever he did, It was utterly useless.

The man, grabbing Sura’s neck with his giant hands, rammed him on the bed, Sura can hear the muffled cry of himself, and soon something entered in his back.

He was being raped, the man kept ramming in and out, even blood was starting to flow from his back, and the rigidness had caused him harm.

Why this again…. Why does he not move! Sura can see with the eyes of boy, feel what the boy felt, the dirty feeling of being raped made his mind go blank, he can still hear the muffled cry of the boy, but knowing that he didn’t had any control over his body, could only bite his tongue and wait for all this to be over.

The feeling of being penetrated again and again didn’t stop, the bed was drenched with the boy’s tears, but it still didn’t stop, soon he felt something warm injected in his back, that thing made him shiver all over his body.

Until this time, Sura’s consciousness had already dimmed.

Why does it feel so familiar? As his consciousness faded away, that was the last thought that came to his mind.

Waking up in the morning, Sura’s eyes were red.

He looked himself in the mirror.

Again a dirty dream.

Getting up he went to shared bathroom, and cleaned his body in the shower again and again, somehow he still felt being raped by that man.

With a dull expression, he ate some porridge and with his bag on his back, rode on his bicycle to school.

On his way, he found various class 2 wings flying over his head, they were the normal model sold to the public, some of them belonged to his classmates, some of them belonged to the people going to their job, they were of various color and model in the sky, whereas the roads have become the thing of the past, the only land transport still working is Crystal Magnet Railway system, with the speed exceeding 500miles per hour.

Though the CMRS was cheap, but considering that the school was just around the corner, he preferred to use his old bicycle.

People now rarely used Vehicle like a bicycle, as in this age even a person belonging to lower class had at least class 1 vehicle.

As he saw a large building, with ancient architecture which gave it a look of medieval institution, he picked up speed.

Entering the campus ground and storing his bicycle, he started to move towards the academy.

Sun Scripture academy, one of the four giants in the study and a place of raising talented children in the 3rd sector of the Gracia kingdom.

The person leading the kingdom was an expert of peak deity realm Pathrux Lema, and sector 3rd being one of its main cities was overlooked by Jensuk Gyane, who belonged to peak Guru realm.

As for the Academy principal, not much was known about him, beside him being a sour puss.

“Helius!!”

Turning around, Sura found his best friend, brother till death Brohimir.

With a short height and an overgrowing beard which covered half of his face. Brohimir can be considered a very handsome fellow among the dwarf, he had a big smile on his face finding Sura at academy after 1 week.

Unlike Brohimir, Sura was of dark complexion and average looks, his eyes were blood red, as if he didn’t get any sleep.

“Sura!!... what happened to your eyes?”

Sura just looked at his friend, and after a little while he said. “I was raped…………………………. in a dream!”

“And for a while there, I thought you were actually raped…!! Haha don’t worry even I am used to being raped by Miss Hisei time by time……… in dream of coarse.”

Seeing that his joke didn’t did anything to Sura, he tried to put his shoulder over Sura’s shoulder, but him being a dwarf, he couldn’t reach him.

Giving up on putting his hand, and walking alongside Sura.” Helius… have you heard, that kid who rammed his car on you was beat up by his father, the whole school is talking about it, even though he was not much famous, but after your accident, everyone in the school have started to notice him.”

“All I did was give Yemming her phone back after fixing it, who knew she was his girlfriend and he will take it the wrong way.”

“I know.. I know..! don’t worry about the past, his father has already given him a severe beating, so smile now… your face looks like you were ra…. No forget what I said.”

Looking at his friend for life, only one word came in Sura’s mind. Fatass!!

Sura was a student of 4th year section D, though he belonged to the class with the worst facilities. They were still provided with equal study material. Though the section D teachers were not so good at teaching, but they still get the work done.

As he entered his class, his classmates started to eye him with surprise, he already came back?

After sitting on his seat, the initial surprise of his classmates subsided, they went on to their work again.

“Here! Have this… you lost a lot of work!”

Giving Sura a memory storage glyph, Brohimir sat beside him.

“Thank you!”

As the teacher entered and the class began, no one noticed, not any of the classmates nor the teacher neither Brohimir nor even Sura himself noticed the faint change.

His eyes were blank, without any life.

** you get the idea what kind of story this is going to be, even though it looks a little light hearted comedy, it will go to its dark origins soon.
