《Beautiful Life》Chapter 1: Reyansh Adani
Advertisement
Reyansh Adani is an extremely lonely, depressed and insecure 17-year old student studying in a small town in Gujarat, India. Appearance wise, he is extremely skinny and bespectacled. He doesn't really have any friends and he always isolates himself from the others. He only likes to read and write.
He selected Physics, Chemistry and Maths as his subjects which belong to the Science stream. He is trying his best to somehow pass in all of the subjects.
Aryan Joshi, on the other hand, is the topper of the class. He belongs to a rich Brahmin family, though nobody really knows any detail of his family background. He is also a bully and his prime target has always been Reyansh.
Mrs. Tanya, their class teacher was absent that day so Reyansh decided to write. Apparently, this is the only thing that makes him cope up with his issues. Though, their class teacher being absent, and nobody coming to teach in place of her gave Aryan the perfect opportunity to bully him.
"Hey, what are you doing?" a heavy voice came from behind and Reyansh immediately realized whose voice it was.
"I-it's none of your business..." Reyansh said, fumbling.
"You're right, it's none of my business. It's not like you are doing anything appreciative. You're a failure after all." Aryan said mockingly. "And you're always going to remain a failure. I wonder how you will be able to provide for your family."
Aryan was saying the truth. Reyansh was not able to pass the tests and if he fails to improve in the next exam, he would have to repeat the year.
'He is right... I AM a failure...'
Aryan waited for a few seconds before realizing that Reyansh wasn't going to reply. "Well anyway, what are you planning to do in your life? Since I am the topper of this class, I might as well help you in getting a low-class job in future." Aryan's associates started laughing. Aryan gestured them to stop, because he wanted to insult Reyansh some more. "But do you even deserve that?" Aryan asked, amusement clearly in his voice.

"I am not planning to do anything right now. And why do you even care?" Reyansh scoffed, not even looking at Aryan.
Aryan got annoyed. "keep your voice down, you piece of shit!" He warned.
By this point, the whole class realized that Aryan was bullying Reyansh again. Nobody had ever tried to help Reyansh or stop Aryan because they were well aware of the fact that Aryan belonged to a rich family and he had some contacts so they never interfered. But this time, it was different.
Rin Ahuja, the most popular girl of the class because of her looks and charm, went out of the class huffily. Both Aryan and Reyansh felt that she did it because of them.
Aryan gave a considering look to his best friend Dhairya. "Hey Dhairya, what is up with your girlfriend? Why did she go out of the class like that?" he asked.
"I don't know, this is the first time. Don't worry, I'll see to it later." Dhairya replied, being just as surprised as Reyansh and Aryan. For some reason, Dhairya looked extremely concerned and angry regarding Rin's actions.
"Go write on blackboard: 'I am a failure'." Aryan ordered.
"What?" Reyansh asked shockingly.
This was different than all of Aryan's previous bullying.
"You heard me, go write on blackboard: 'I am a failure'." Aryan ordered him again.
Reyansh thought about it. What was he supposed to do in that situation?
It was always like that - Aryan would find some way to mock, tease or bully Reyansh depending upon his mood. For him, all of this was fun and amusement. It was like a kid taking break from the hefty study schedule - It was like a hobby to him.
This was going overboard and Reyansh knew that. But he couldn't complain to either his teachers or his parents for reasons nobody knew except himself. It seemed like he had no other choice but to do it.

Before he got up from his seat, Reyansh noticed that his senior and his crush Madhuri was passing by. There was no way he was doing something like that in front of his crush.
"I can't do it. I am sorry. Please forgive me." Reyansh said slowly. He didn't want Madhuri to hear his words.
"What did you say?" Aryan asked annoyingly.
"I said I can't do it. I am sorry." Reyansh repeated, this time in a somewhat higher voice. "I promise I'll do it tomorrow. Just not now. Please." he sounded like he was begging. He really didn't want Madhuri to see him like that.
Aryan slapped Reyansh. He was extremely angry at his reply to his orders. "Who the fuck said you have any choice here, you piece of shit? Go do it right now or I'll fucking destroy you!"
Madhuri heard the slap so she looked inside the class. She noticed that someone was getting bullied. She realized that it was Reyansh, the infamous student in the school. He was famous for his bad reputation - bad-mannered, disobedient, undisciplined and a failure. Nobody liked him in the entire school. He seemed really miserable, like a dead being having no will to continue living.
'Oh it's him... Why is He the one getting bullied...? Strange...' She thought. '...Who is bullying him? And...' She noticed that Reyansh was looking at her. '... Why is he looking at me like that...? Is he asking for my help? What am I supposed to do here? I am the topper of my class, there is no way I am doing anything for a person like him! And besides, a person who doesn't respect his teachers like him deserves to be bullied!' Madhuri thought. She had gone to the staff room to help her teacher. She then realized that lectures are going on in her class at the moment and that she can't afford to miss them, so she went back to her class.
Aryan slapped him again as he was too busy looking at Madhuri go back to his class. That bought him back to the reality and snapped him out of his thoughts. "Now listen, you trash!" he slapped him again. "Pay attention when I am here!" and again. "You will ALWAYS do what I say!" and again. "Otherwise I will kill you!" and again. "And I will kill your mom!" and again. "And I will kill your sister!" and again. "Now write on the blackboard what you are. A fucking loser. Write 'I am a failure'."
Reyansh couldn't say a word. He was embarrassed, humiliated, and hurt in front of the entire class. He didn't have any choice.
'Everyone looks down on me. The teachers, my classmates... Even my family does. I am not even considered worthy of being here. They look at me like I am their slave - no, even below that. Like all these things were not enough, I have to declare that I am a failure in front of the class and make fun of myself. Yeah, I am a failure, so what? You guys hate me? Well I hate you too! I hate this class, I hate everyone! I fucking hate you all!' Reyansh was crying.
Now that Madhuri was not watching, Reyansh got up from his seat, wiping the tears off of his face and went over to the blackboard. He took up a piece of chalk but before he could write anything, a loud voice stopped him. "Hey, stop! It's enough!"

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning."

The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory.
