When he woke up, he was in school nursery.

{hmm, where am I !! am I in school nursery?.} Jason looked around thought to himself. And suddenly what happened earlier flashed in front of his eyes. He was frustrated, feeling betrayed and humiliated.

He tried to get up but his whole body was in intense pain because of the beatings earlier.

[you should not get up so soon] Martha, nurse who was assigned to school nursery said.

[no, it’s ok, I am alright.] Jason said and stood up.

[what no? you are not alright see you cannot even stand properly.] nurse said.

[it’s okk I’ll manage somehow. You don’t have to worry about someone like me] Jason started walking outside the nursery.

[wait, I know what happened to you alright, after that kind of beating I am surprised that you are even standing so soon. Well, I already reported about them who beat you to the principle so, you need to rest.] Nurse said.

[I am used to this kind of things so I can endure this much! But do you really think that there is going to be any action against them even if you report them?] Jason asked.

There was a silence. Martha couldn’t say anything because She knew that nothing was going to happen even if she reported the incident.

[So you know now, what I need to do is to just go home! Thank you very much for taking care of me.] Jason bowed a little and went outside.

{that’s right, I just need to go home as soon as possible, Mom and Dad must be worried about me, plus this kind of thing have always happened with me so it’s nothing.} Jason thought to himself and hurried towards his house. As always there was no one to pick him up from school. He was walking fast even in that nerve wrenching pain. After some time of walking and crippling he finally reached his Father’s mansion which he called his home.

He opened the main door and was going to go inside but..

[wait!!] he was stopped by his father. He looked at his father, he knew that his father was angry and could feel the pressure of his presence alone. Jason couldn’t handle that kind pressure and fell down on his knees. It was like he choking and all of his energy getting sucked out of his body. His body was already in so much pain.

[how dare you, coming to my house after that result. I thought you already ran away after the shaming my name but you are not only powerless but also shameless bastard, aren’t you? You have disgraced my name enough already; I can’t let you do it anymore. You are disowned from this moment.] Adam said. Jason knew that his father was disappointed in him but he didn’t know that he will be disowned because of it.

[what??...no no, father, I am so sorry, please…..please give me one more chance, please. I’ll just stay as servant in this house but please don’t make me go away from all of you, please don’t disown me.] Jason eyes started flowing with tears.

[we don’t need anymore servants. Trash like you is not even qualified to be servant of this house so just don’t insult me by calling me your father anymore and get out.] Adam said.

After hearing that Jason couldn’t say anything more. All of his energy was already drained. He just looked at his mother Anna who was crying and couldn’t even look at him. Jason could feel that she was in pain, and feeling guilty that she couldn’t do anything for him. Jason knew that she was helpless.

[Just get out or should I call someone to throw you out] his father increased his pressure. Jason knew that he had only one option so he got up and started leaving.

[Jason…] He heard his mother’s voice but she was silenced by his father. Just in this one day he lost his love, his family, his future, his everything. He was already in intense pain. He was still not able to accept the fact that Emily betrayed him and then his family disowning him was just too much. He was completely broken. Even though he was walking he didn’t know where he was going and what he was going to do. It was already dark outside. He reached on the road near his father’s mansion.

{yeah, they are right, I should just die. I am a disappointment to everyone. No one loves me because I am powerless trash, yeah, I finally give up, I just cannot handle this fucked up world anymore. I just can’t} while Jason was thinking to himself there were sudden screams on road ahead. A portal had suddenly opened up in front of Jason. Jason was still thinking and didn't realize that a portal has opened in front of him.

Suddenly three minotaurs came out of that portal. Minotaurs are considered one of the middle-ranked monsters so only three of those could destroy half the city is few minutes. Portals were also ranked by the difficulties so that the parties of slayers could be arranged accordingly. They were ranked as Black, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green; Black being the most difficult and green being the easiest. Generally these normal portals opened in the restricted area where the first portals opened 72 years ago. this is because when the portals opened 72 years ago they streched the space so that space distortion is easier.

These Minotaurs generally came out of yellow portals but this was a violet portal. Violet portals are considered abnormal because we cannot determine what kind of monster will come out, where that portal is going to open and and when the monsters will come out.

[grooowwlllll….] one of the minotaur suddenly roared. Jason came to sense only after hearing that heart wrenching roar.

[what….a portal, … in the middle of the city…how is that possible? And how did monsters suddenly came out.. usually they come out after 12 hours didn’t they…...wait it is violet.........is it one of the abnormal portals…shit!!] Jason finally realized but it was too late he was already in front of one of the minotaur.

[maybe it is for the best, I should just die..] After saying that Jason just accepted his death and was closing his eyes

but,

[arrrr….…] He suddenly heard a scream. Jason looked towards the noise; he saw a little girl trying to run away from a minotaur. Jason felt sudden urge to save her and even before he himself realized, he dashed toward that girl and stood in front of her.

{if I am going to die then I am going to die alone, I am not going to let anyone else die as long as I am alive .. I need to distract that minotaur somehow.} Jason saw some bricks from the debris of destroyed buildings. He picked up a brick and throwed it on the minotaur that was going to kill that girls.

[grooww…l] He was successful, he distracted that minotaur but made it angrier. Now that all the minotaurs were attracted towards Jason, he knew that nobody else is going to die and slayers will soon come and kill these monsters. He finally gave after he saw that nobody else is going to die.

One of the minotaur carried an Iron club which was way bigger that normal club. One hit from that could most certainly shatter almost all the bones in the body.

[growlll..] the minotaur who carried the club roared and waved that club towards Jason. Jason knew that he couldn’t evade it, he knew that this is it, this is the moment that he was going to die.

[arghh…] after getting struck by that clob Jason was throwed in air and slammed in the building.

[cough…cough….fuck…I guess this is it! Ahhh I am not feeling any pain.] he wasn’t feeling pain because almost all the bones in his body were shattered and his body went numb.

{I should just close my ey…..} Jason was so tired that he finally fainted.

{[open your eyes my child]} Jason heard a sudden voice in his mind. He was still fainted. Jason felt very soothing and calm after hearing that voice.

{Am I hearing things? Aren’t I already dead? Whose voice is that?} Jason kept thinking and opened his eyes.
