After 3 hrs
'Where am I?' Will mumbled as he opened his eyes and started to sit up.
As he sat down leaning to the wall he started to remember where he was and how he was nearly beaten to death. He hated his life. Nothing was in his favor. He was alone, he had no family, he lived in an orphanage as long he remembered in the city of X. All he had in his possession was a little "home" made hut of trash bin.
Before all this he had a normal life. He was happy enough to say orphonage as his home and was well fed and looked after. When they found out that he had no potential, he was almost sold to scientists to do experiments on him, from where he barely escaped and took refuge in the city Z which is adjacent to city X. It was the day he lost trust in people, that was the day he truly realised how dark the world was.
From that day onwards
He was depressed. He was angry at himself for being weak.
But as they say trauma leads to maturity.
It was the day he realised if he wanted to have freedom and live how he wanted, he needed power.
This was the day he started craving power.
'I would rather have died than live this depressing life' will mumbled to himself.
Then it struck him. 'wait, how am I not in pain? How am I not feeling weak? "
Will was very confused as he was pretty sure he was going to die, when that rich brat beat him. That brat won't even be persecuted or even accused as law favored the powerful in this world.
Then suddenly he heard a robotic voice in his head
[Ding, Welcome host to Guardian of the universe system. I'm here to help you realize your potential and guide you to reach the peak of power]
Will was stunned for a moment. He started to look here and there to find the source of the voice.
"Who…who was tha-t?" will asked weakly.
[Ding, Im the Guardian of the universe system. And no need to search here and there im in your head, host.]
Will was scared that a high level awakener was playing tricks on him. Then he realized high level awakeners do not have time for that.
"Wh-o are you and why are you in my head?" asked will.
[Ding, I'm the Guardian of the universe system. I'm here to help you realize your potential and guide you to reach the peak of power. You were selected as one of the candidates from the whole universe to have me.]
'I must be hallucinating', will thought.
[Ding, host I'm real. You are healed aren't you? Who do you think healed you?]
Will was dumbstruck, it was true that he was healed. And he also remembered hearing the same voice before he fell unconscious.
'A passerby healer must have shown pity and healed me. Wait, Who am I kidding? I would rather believe the voice in my head than that.' Will thought.
"I still don't believe that you are real." Will said testing the waters.
Will wanted to believe the voice in his head as it was his only hope to power he didn't want to be weak anymore after that experience.
Will suddenly felt a electric shock in his body and jerked. It was numbingly painful.
[Ding, now do you believe me host?]
"y-es....I do." It was very painful to not believe.
Will now had hope in this meaningless life and he wanted to be strong to never ever go through that.
Will was ecstatic, that he could gain power.
