Beep beep beep
Slam!
"Ahhhh I will never get used to that noisy thing early in the morning well might as well start my day now".
Mark got up from his bed and look at the time on the alarm he knew it was rather early since there was no sign of sunlight but he prefer to get a early start in the morning.
"Hmmm 5:30 A.M ha well dawn mark open at 6:30 A.M so this is rather perfect timing I have enough time to get ready while I will still be able to make it to dawn mark before it open well let not waste anymore time and lets get this day started".
Mark then head straight for his bathroom and began to wash his face from there he went to the kitchen and began to eat two serving of cereal and milk with a cold cup of orange juice to start the day.
From there Mark went straight back to the bathroom and began to brush his teeth then took a shower right after from there he then began to get dress.
From ever since Mark start to train in the way of the thief he has grown accustom to always were a hoodie since it the most optimal clothes for one in his profession to ware it provide good cover for your face and is able to let you camouflage better with the dark.
Mark then began to grab his wallet and leave his apartment when he left it was just a little after 6 A.M. Lucky for him dawn mark was right up the street.
Mark then began to walk toward dawn mark.
"Ehh as expected with the clearance sale today I should of known that the line would be a little lengthy this early".
Mark then look at the line in front of him and there was at least over 200 people crowd up in front of the store.
"With this much people ahead of me the stores going to be peeled hmmm I guess I will have to steal a tickets with an early number on it.
Mark then use his observation skills that he has develop over the years, he then began to eye the entire crowd breaking them down in sector on who has a earlier number.
After looking for about 2 minutes he finally found a target a middle age man with barley any hair on his head was reading a news paper he had on a Neon tech uniform witch immediately tell Mark that this guy had a hefty penny on him.
Mark also mark this man as a target for three things.
one he is extremely fat just by looking at him anyone can tell he probably live an extremely unhealthy life with the amount of junk he eats and also the lingering smell of alcohol and cigarette is present all over his body he might be able to fool other with the expensive colon he has on but I develop quite a sensitive nose. So with all this information I concluded that he is an easy target to get away from.
Two is simply because he has an early ticket and that exactly what im looking for honestly a lot of moron just like this man think there belongings are safe in their back pocket you will never see me doing such a rookie mistakes. Now that I know he has an early ticket to enter the store I can steal it from him and get in first instead of waiting out here for two more hours since only 30 people can enter the store at a time.
And finally not only does this guys fit my criteria he also a good target finance wise that is just looking on the brand of his watch and the shiny stones on his ring and lets not also forget that he wearing a zimberlands that shoes is a good whapping 34,000 Garnet notes. lets just say a 10 ruby notes is is 1 garnet notes if you add that up that shoes in a whole is 340,000 rubies-And were just talking on what's on the outside. I can bet this guy is loaded if I can snatch his wallet I can bet im eating Pizzara and Loke tonight. After all a thief as skill as me only needs an encounter one single encounter can create a huge opportunity for me to grab what I need to grab well let try an accidental approach.
Mark then went to a public bathroom stall took of his panda hoodie and turn it inverse and now a rabbit hoodie is shown. This is a inverse hoodie that mark bought a couple months back, he use it every now and again to throw of his step when someone manage to get a glimpse of him. now the red panda hoodie is now a pink rabbit hoodie. Mark then place his hood over his head and exist the public toilet. He look around his surroundings analyzing the area so he can formulate a plan. He see a homeless person with a black eye glass on his forehead still sleeping and a old pieces of plastic rod beside a dumpster.
With this much information he quickly run multiple simulation of how his plan is going to go and after running through many scenario in his head and he was ready to see it through.
As the quick person Mark is he sneakily went above the homeless man head and quickly and gently grab the glasses from his head and slowly walk away. As he now make his way to the dumpster and grab the plastic pole.
Now, since he gathered all the ingredients necessary for his plan he then place the black eye glasses on his face and start tapping the ground and start walking to the fat middle age man.
"Perfect now my disguise as a blind person randomly walking up to him and accidently crash into him I should be able to grab what I need in the time span of 5 second upon impact to the ground".
Mark then walk up the man who was reading his news paper when suddenly he fell over as he felt something with great weight push him from behind and also landing on top of him in the process.
The two figures crash on the ground, the man felt a slight pain on his knee after all it is his bad knee and like the miserable man he is he was going to curse this clumsy person for crashing into him but stop when he notice the reason why.
"Are you a blind reta…
The man look at the person before him slowly getting up brushing off him-self when the man see that the person had his eyes close trying to look for something on the ground but cant seem to find it. He was now aware that this person is blind he felt kind of bad for asking a blind person if they were blind and nearly calling them a retard.
So he pick up the glasses and the pole and gave it to the blind man before him while patting his back and saying.
"Ahh sorry about what I said earlier I just had a really bad knee but you should really watch were your going".
"Ahh sorry about that sir I have been blind since birth I seem to have slip on my shoe lessons when I was passing you".
The man seem to understand and bow down once again in a respectful manner as to apologize for earlier comments then the blind man and the middle age man then part ways.
"What a pity to lose yours eyes sight when the world has a lot to see sigh thank god it aint me".
Mark then made his way to an alley were he change and throw away the pole and the glasses as he check out his award for the day.
"Haha what a sucker this guys is loaded this is a Zeal protection ring that allows you to manipulate some force of nature at least once depending on the quality but look at this I can manipulate a force o nature at least 3 times a self defense item like this can go up to 40,000 garnet notes and looking at the green gem it a wind type".
In this world Zeal is the energy manipulated by evolution type awakenings it something similar to mana in those fiction type novels im hearing everyone talking about it a popular trend since ancient time the tradition of anime and games are deeply respected in today society and even teach in heroes school as reference on how to use one powers it especially helpful to evolution type heroes and awaken ones.
When some one awaken as a evolution type they are heavily look out for by the Justice association that is owned by the dawn empire-because evolution types are able to manipulate zeal in the atmosphere while at the same time having a unique ability like every other normal awakening one.
For example there is a spell called Tyfló fos it a light base spell that is use when your using light type zeal that triggers and explode a huge ball of light that blind and stun the enemy for 5 seconds that is enough time to put in a killing blow if needed. So imagine if your able to use magic while also at the same time you have a powerful ability like a tier 7 light ability combine that with the spell earlier you can become a force to be reckon with since the spell will be stronger because of the light base ability.
"Hehe rich people sure have it good I can probably pawn this expensive looking watch as well and also I manage to stole over 20,000 garnet notes from that dude wallet. im definitely am going to eat rich for tonight's dinner speaking of dinner I got my grocery ticket along with the sale today I can probably buy 3 bottle of goy sauce hehe".
Mark was really happy with all his winning and decide to go buy his groceries since it 6:25 A.M now, he then head toward Dawn mark with a smile on his face little did Mark know thou he was been watch.
Change of POV:
"83 did you see that kid skills in theft it was absolutely amazing and stunning".
"Yes 58 not only did he plan that robbery perfect, the victim still isn't aware that he has been rob he almost remind me of the phantom cobra his movement is just like him".
"You mean like a snake".
"That right the way he move his hands is like a snake going in for a quick kill"
"Hey 83 why don't we give that kid a mission to retrieve Athreos key for us he would seem way more better for the job than us"
"I guess your right 58 then we can kill him and the get the reward and the key from him".
Change POV
Mark was coming out of the super market with a smile; he manage to get a whole lot of groceries for cheap.
"Hahah this is quite a lucky day Pizzara here I come and I have a lot of spare change".
Mark was walking home when he notice two people following him he then stop and turn around and ask in a cold voice.
"Who are you and what do you want".
When Mark say these word the figure tense up a little to think they were found so easy after using a stealth based spell, of course the boy in front of them also doesn't seem to have slight bit of his guard down.
"We mean no harm my name is 58 and we want to give you a job opportunity that might change your life".
"I'm guessing you saw my early performance but im not interested".
58 was a very observant person so he guess a person as carful and just as or maybe even more observant than him would answer in such after all he just went up and plainly ask if he would like to do a job so he guess Mark found him as suspicious of course 58 know how to deal with people like Mark and can at least left a ripple in Marks heart in the form of greed.
Mark then began to walk away as 58 then said to Mark.
"Not even for a 500,000 garnets notes".
Mark stop at this amount of Cash with that amount he can start a brand new whole life but he found it very shady but also very tempting.
58 then saw the hesitation in Mark and was happy since he know he manage to at least gain his attention.
"Here my card think about it".
And when Mark look up the figure disappear like he wasn't there.
"Hmm I might think about it".
Mark then began to walk back home.
