Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - Ye Chen

Ye Chen walked out of the bathroom. As a twelfth grader, he was supposed to be respected by lower classes, however his reputation of being Lin Qiming's "punchbag" was known throughout the school. He was the main person among those who bullied him and also led him to commit suicide. "Hold on, that guy's still in class", Ye Chen thought. Lin Qiming is the main grandson of the Lin family. The Lin family currently has a net worth of billions and their influence spread through the entire city of Xiwang. Therefore, no matter what he did, even the head of the school had to lick his a**. Ye Chen was disgusted by this behavior.

Ye Chen walked through the corridor. No one paid any attention to him. He scanned the classroom with his mind and a smile appeared on his lips. He entered the classroom.

"Hey, dog! The fu*k did you go to?", a voice full of contempt and hate rose from the corner of the classroom.

Lin Qiming hated Ye Chen because he got through to university on a scholarship and was poor as well as an orphan. Ye Chen's parents died in an accident and having no relatives, he was raised by The Welfare Association. They would provide him with money till he became 18.

"Fu*k off", said Ye Chen loudly.

Everyone went quiet. Of the entire class, most people had gone to the cafeteria and only 11 people were left. Of these Lin Qiming and his two dogs were the most surprised. Ye Chen always took beatings from them and stayed quiet. What happened to him today?

"Hey, you worthless piece of sh*t! How dare you call our brother that?" Lin Qiming's dog Xu Ming said angrily.

"Shut up, you bootlicker. You've always stayed by him just for doing that. It's disgusting."

"Fix him up."

The owner of the dog said and simply walked to the door of the classroom.

POW!

A punch came from nowhere and landed on Ye Chen when he was still looking at Lin Qiming.

CRACK!

"OWW!"

Everyone saw a gruesome scene that they weren't expecting. Xu Ming's hand was hanging limply and bones protruded from his knuckles. Blood was dripping from the edge of his hands and onto the floor. His face was pale with fright and pain.

He then looked at Ye Chen and said, "You're a monster. YOU'RE A MONSTER. GET AWAY-"

POW!

A figure flew across the classroom and went onto Lin Qiming. It was Xu Ming.

THUD!

"Yes, I guess I am. I never wanted to become one. You guys forced me to", Ye Chen's voice echoed through the classroom.

The second dog who was standing behind Xu Ming took a few steps back and ran without looking back. Ye Chen let him go. It was no use trying to chase after dogs when their owner was the one who taught them.

Lin Qiming was looking horrified. What was happening?

Ye Chen took a few steps and walked towards Qiming. He then reached out and pulled Lin Qiming out by his neck.

"Don't! If you hit me, my father will make sure that yo-"

"SHUT UP."

Lin Qiming shut up and looked into Ye Chen's eyes. The black eyes that once used to be lifeless had lit up again but this time it was blacker than before. It gave him the illusion of falling into a dark abyss.

Ye Chen thought "System, release skill mind kill in a way that won't kill him."

{DING! Does host want to kill him directly or put him into endless sleep?}

"What's endless sleep?"

{DING! Endless Sleep is a form of mind kill that puts a person into coma and kills them slowly through hellish nightmares}

Ye Chen smiled. It was smile that was brought from the pain that Lin Qiming had given him.

Ye Chen raised his fist and smashed his fist against Lin Qiming's face. He then brought Lin Qiming's face close to his and said, "Thank you for awakening me."

Lin Qiming was horrified. He realized that the Ye Chen in front of him wasn't the Ye Chen that he knew.

"You're not Ye Chen. Who are you?" whispered Lin Qiming. A smell of urine spread through the classroom and everyone saw that his pants were dripping.

"Someone you shouldn't have offended," Ye Chen whispered back.

"System, release skill endless sleep."

Ye Chen punched Lin Qiming at the same time he released his skill. To others, it might've seemed that Lin Qiming fainted from Ye Chen's beating but sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Ye Chen looked around. Every student in the classroom was looking terrified. There were many students standing at the door but not coming in.

Ye Chen then walked to his desk and took his bag. He didn't mind the countless stares at him.

With all the eyes on him, the crowd parted as Ye Chen walked out of his class. Those who were there that day would afterwards keep bragging about the legendary kid who beat up the grandson of the Lin family without any cares.

[Lin Family, Xiwang City]

A phone rang.

A middle aged man wearing a business suit and watching something on his smartphone. From a single look, one could understand that this was a filthy rich person. From branded clothes and shoes of the highest quality, one could see a small curved writing on his chest which read "LIN QIXIONG". This man's face had a certain resemblance to Lin Qiming. He was intently watching when the telephone rang. There were two telephones on his desk. One was a dark black while the other was silver. The man lazily raised his head and looked at the telephones. Then, suddenly as if electricity passed through him, the man became alert and energetic. It was the black telephone that had rung.

"This is Lin Qixiong. Who is it?"

"Mr. Lin..... I'm the head of Xiwang Private High School."

"Yes, why did you call on the emergency line? Didn't I tell you-"

"Mr. Lin, your...son was hurt. He's ...in a coma right now and his face is deformed."

A trembling voice gave this news.

"Who is it?", the alert voice of Lin Qixiong turned hoarse.

"It's a kid named..... Ye Chen."

"I need his details. RIGHT NOW!"

"Yes, sir."

TING! The line was cut off.

"YE CHEN, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY."

A roaring voice spread throughout the room.

A red alert spread throughout the Lin family all echoing with the name of "Ye Chen".

[Xiwang Private High School]

An order of expulsion of a student named "Ye Chen" spread through all the teachers and students in school.

____________________

[An old apartment on the suburbs of Xiwang City]

A cracked smartphone lay on the desk in an empty room consisting of a table, a bed and some books as well as an old PC laptop.

TING!

A notification popped up on the screen of the phone:-

"Student Ye Chen, ID47**2 you have been expelled and your scholarship has been withdrawn. Please receive your expulsion certificate as well as your TC from the school on Monday two days from now you will also have an hearing. All services provided by The Welfare Association will also be withdrawn. A failure to attend the disciplinary hearing will make you unable to enter any school or apply for any government job in the future. This is an order by the Department of Education."

Hearing the "TING!" sound a half-naked person with a wet figure entered the empty room from the bathroom and looked at the screen of the phone.

"Sure enough, they've begun."

He then switched on the old PC laptop.

The figure of Ye Chen smiled a sinister smile and said, "It's time to play."
