Hours passed Suno finally woke up. He heard loud screaming from a distance, his eyes were still blurry.
'Argh' Shaking his head.
'You're awake' An old man said.
Suno can't move, They placed him in in a steel chair with metal braclets wrapped around his wrist.
'Again' He mumbled.
Raising his head to get a better view of the old man sitting infront of him.
'Want some?' the old man ask extending his hand with a bottle of whiskey.
'I don't drink' Suno replied.
The old man chuckled, shaking his head.
Placing his glass down the table.
'Suno Choi, a millionaires son or should I say the millionare itself?' He asked.
'.....' Suno didn't reply.
His expression was blank and was hard to read.
The old man chuckled grabbing his whiskey.
'You're talented young man.' The old man stood from his chair and walked closer to Suno.
'You have no father, yet you still managed to make millions in the mere age of 18' He added holding the chair Suno's sitting in.
'Do you perhaps...Want to look for your mother and sister?' That question made Suno's blood suddenly boil.
'Don't you dare talk about my family.' Suno finally replied.
The old man smiled and looked at Suno's eyes.
'Young man, I am here to help you.' He said.
'I don't need help.'
'Release me, I'll do it on my own'
The old man walked back at his table and drank his whiskey.
'We can't do that.' He replied sitting on his chair swirling his glass.
'Care to listen to my offer first?' The old man added.
He leaned closer to his table and placed his elbow.
'I don't want to' He replied.
The old man lift his finger as a sign of no, shaking his head with a smile.
'As I've said before, we can't do that.'
'How about this? Fight the monsters outside the barrier and we'll help you look for your family.' He said.
'I'm not picked by the gods, I'm a normal human.' Suno replied.
'Did Leo?' The old man chuckled.
'He told you huh?'
'Well in that case, we will let you free.' The old man said.
'Just a reminder, this barrier is just for decoration. What Leo said to you wasn't true, Well..See for yourself when you go outside.' He added.
The old man turned his chair around and pressed the red button on his right armchair.
The door behind Suno suddenly opened and the covered people from before, came inside.
They took the metal wrist off, holding Suno's arms.
'Goodluck finding your family Suno, I'm not sure if they're alive though.' He turned around looking at Suno's expression.
'Welcome to City A Suno.' He waved.
His eyes turned bright gold for a second, which widened the old mans eyes.
'He was chosen.' The old man thought smiling.
The doors closed, he took a piece of notebook in his drawer writing Suno's name in the very first page.
'I'll help you as long as i'm alive, young master.' He mumbled.
The notebook lit up and Suno's name disappeared.
A woman covered in gold appeared.
'Are you sure about this?' Cleo said to the old man.
'My goddess, he's my saviour.' He smiled looking at the notebook.
'You're as kind as ever, my child.' Cleo replied.
'I hope this can protect him.' He mumbled gently touching the notebook.
'Worry not, I'll protect him as i protect you.' Cleo replied.
He relaxed his back and poured more whiskey in his glass.
Suno was finally brought outside, there was a military truck waiting for him.
He was escorted by fully armoured people.
'Where are they taking me?' He thought looking around.
Few minutes later, he finally saw the surroundings.
'So this is City A' He mumbled.
'Welcome Sir. Suno to City A' The woman in black armour said.
He smiled and looking at the scenery, fresh air and a land covered in grass.
'Wear this Sir.' The lady gave him a shadelike glasses.
At the front of the military truck, a large portal gate opened
.
'Hold on.' The man driving the truck said.
Suno held tight and closed his eyes.
Seconds later, the place suddenly went dark.
Night lights, bustling sounds and cars were heard.
Suno's astonished by the portal gate they went in.
Hours later they reached a large mansion, the military truck stopped and four assisted Suno.
While walking, the other soldier explained everything Suno needs to know.
'Sir, you have to enter the academy for you to learn how to handle Critters. Human or an awaken, you still have to join.' He explained.
'Fine.' He replied.
'About your family..' The man stopped, seeing Suno's expression changing.
The man continued.
'Even though you don't want to, we will still help you look for them. The four of us were ordered to assist you in any time you need it.' He added.
'Why did that old man go through such lengths?' He thought.
'You can still live an ordinary life in here.
Though, the money currency is quite different now.
Orbs have high value in this City. The more brighter it is the more expensive.' He explained.
'Orbs?' He asked.
'Yes, after killing the critters they produce high quality orbs. It depends on their level, the Academy will tell you everything you need to know.' He explained.
Suno suddenly remembered the orb he placed inside his pocket from the Blooded Ant.
His shirt was the only thing changed in his outfit, even his bag was returned back to him untouched.
'I don't trust them yet.' He thought.
They finally reached the front door.
'Please call for us, remember that you're still required to attend the academy tomorrow.' She explained.
He nodded and smiled.
'Thanks'
They bowed and left him.
He closed the door and immediately looked for any hidden cameras.
'Nothing.' He mumbled.
He was suspicious about the old mans actions. But Suno is the type of person who's kind to their allies and brutal to those who aren't.
'Activate System' He said.
A bright blue screen opened as he walked inside the mansion.
He touched it but his hand went through.
'Player: Suno Choi'
'Lucious'
'Level:25'
'Strength:29'
'The crown?' He mumbled.
It was written at the very end of his profile.
A newly acquired power was also written at the bottom.
'Posionous Ivy'
'Close System' He said swiping his hand as he finally reached his bedroom.
He pushed the door, a room designed similar to his old one.
'How?' He felt shivers seeing everything almost as similar as his old home.
Many questions flooded his mind, but he was tired.
'I have to find my family soon, wait for me mother...Mun-hee..' He sadly thought.
Suno layed at the middle of the bed, his tears started to flow.
He suddenly thought about Sasha's cold body, which he couldn't even bury.
'If only I followed her that time, this wouldn't have happend' He mumbled, his trembling voice echoed around the room hearing his painful cries.
'I don't like her but she was like a sister to me' He added.
His legs was still on the floor only half of his body was laying down the bed.
He covered his face with his arms.
Thinking of a solution to find his family,
due to exhaustion he fell asleep after.
The next day, he was getting ready for the academy.
This time, he preferred to keep a low profile.
'Stay here.' He said to her.
'But Sir. we have to assist you inside.' She said.
'I can do it on my own.' He said waving his hand.
The woman had no other choice but to follow him.
'We shall wait for you here.' The other soldier said.
He wore the uniform provided for them, Maroon blue long sleeves coat, a white polo with necktie, pants, belt, designer shoes etc.
As he entered, many ladies and men were looking at him.
'He's hot' They whispered.
'Is he new here?'
'He looks cool!'
'The uniform looks expensive on him'
His tall physique together with his nicely shaped body made the ladies look at him.
'His eyes are blue!' another lady shouted.
'Blue?' Suno heard due to his heightened senses.
He immediately went inside to look for the schools bathroom.
His eyes turned from black to blue.
'What the hell!' He shouted.
'Is this the effect of that Ivy thing?' He thought.
'Whatever' He checked the time and searched for his assigned room.
Minutes later he finally found his class.
He opened the door, and everyone went silent.
All eyes were on him.
He looked around, seeing all different ages of people from teens to adults.
'Hi?' He waved his hand.
The girls screamed seeing him.
The other guys were unhappy to see him.
All of them were focused on him, except one guy.
He was sitting near the window wearing headphones.
Suno went inside looking for a seat.
All seats were taken, but some offered theirs for him. He kindly declined them.
He glanced at the guy near the window, the sit beside him was empty.
He walked closer to him.
'Hi? Can i sit here?' He asked, but the man didn't reply or look.
'The fucks wrong with this guy?' He thought.
He tapped the guys shoulder, He suddenly held Suno's wrist.
'Let go.' Suno calmly said with a monotone voice, wearing a disgusted look.
'What?' The guy asked taking his headset off.
'Can I seat beside you?' Suno asked again.
'Ok' He replied.
'Your hand.' His expression changed.
The man released his wrist.
'If he kept that hand a little longer, I might've hit him.' Suno thought.
He grabbed his bag and secretly wiped his hands.
Eversince he went to that City many people touched him, which makes him disgusted.
The man saw what he did but didn't care.
Minutes later the class began, the man beside him slept the teacher didn't bother him.
The next class they're required to go outside.
But the man beside him was still asleep, he tapped his shoulder to wake him up.
'Hey.' He said.
The man woke up and took his hoodie off.
They were the only ones left inside.
'Call me Han.' He said.
'I didn't ask' Suno replied coldly wiping his hand.
'Why do you keep on wiping your hands?' He asked looking at Suno.
'It's the first time you've seen me done this though?' Suno replied.
'You really think i didn't see you earlier?'
'So why do you keep wiping it? hm?' He repeated.
Suno led out a deep sigh.
'It's something i've always had ever since i was a child.' He explained as he stood.
'Happy?'
Han nodded with a satisfied look.
Suno left Han inside the classroom and followed his classmates.
Sparring class began, they have to choose who they'll spar with.
Many asked Suno but he didn't want anyone to touch him.
'Can I sit this one out?' Suno thought.
He saw Han all alone at the bench listening to music unbothered.
The teacher saw them, calling for their attention.
'Hey you two! Partner up!' The teacher shouted.
The students looked whispering something.
'Han's strong'
'Can the new guy handle him?'
'Let them be, I wanna see that new guy fall keke'
Suno heard them and agreed to the teacher, Han stood and scratched his head, following Suno.
They were the last one to fight.
'Suno! Han! Go inside the ring!' The teacher shouted.
They both went inside and warmed began to warm up.
'Hey go easy on me' Han said smirking.
Suno looked at him sharply.
'Ready?'
'Set'
'Fight'
