Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

I then asked the manual how I would be able to achieve 'stone stomach'. Which it then told me that I could then just absorb a molecule of the void essence and then absorb that into my body to strengthen my external and internal body.

I had then proceeded to "sit" cross legged and then proceeded to follow the methods provided by the manual. I slowed my thoughts till I was the only thing the void, which I was. The manual had explained to me that I would be able to sense the essence of the void after some time. My mind was wandering away, thinking about my past life and what had transpired before the events of the betrayal.

My family had never shown any contempt and hatred for me till I had joined college, leading for me to be kicked out since they stopped paying the fees. I also tried to apply for a loan that I would have had to work all of my life to pay off. I wanted to be a Software Engineer which was what I was studying at college. My family had their businesses in medicine, and had owned a pretty big hospital.

As I was trying to get a job, I had then learnt of a matter close to the family. That my father was having an affair with my ex at the time(which I had no idea of), and to get me out of the house he had convinced my mother to kick me out. Explaining to her that all that I do was mooch off of their fortune.

My mother, being in love with him had agreed after a while and had then decided to kick me out. My father had convinced the family that I had been in contact with one of their competitors and was giving them insider information. That was then that my ex had decided to break up with me. I then had to move out of town, and got a small job at a pharmacy.

After about 2 weeks on the job I was fired for "Stealing the products" which I didn't and other things along those lines. I had then had to pay a fine, which wasn't that bad since I had saved up. But I had thought that it was weird since me and the manager got along fine. I had then learnt later on that my family had found to where I had moved and had been targeting me ever since.
