With much difficulty, I got up from my bed.
It was the dreaded Monday. The worst day of the week. But with the one goal in mind, I woke up. Today was the day I would have my computer teacher show me how to post and use the dark web.
I got out of bed and changed into grey pants and a black hoodie.
I then opened my drawer and took a pair of socks that was beside my Glock. 'Should I bring it to school? Nah. I won't need it.' Closing the drawer, I grabbed my bag and went to the living room.
My brother and mom were already waiting there.
"You should've woken up earlier. What time did you sleep last night?"
"Late enough."
"Whatever, let's get going. You don't want to be late, do you?"
The three of us went to the car and left for school.
The drive wasn't long. But it allowed me to get a couple more minutes of sleep in. And let me tell you. It felt like at least an hour of sleep.
When we got there, I got out of the car with a light step.
I bid my family goodbye and made my way into the heart of Tartarus, school.

The dreaded classes went by slowly. To make things worse, my english and math teacher that I'd informed me have a test on Wednesday.
This led me to only one option. 'Hypnotize them and make them give me a good mark.'
God bless whatever gave me get this ability. I don't know what I would do without it.
Once my computer class rolled around, I jumped at the opportunity to ask my teacher some 'questions'.
I walked into the class and closed the see-through glass door.
"Sir. I have a question."
The short Caucasian man looked my way.
"What can I help you with, Damian?"
I sat on the seat beside him and looked into his eyes. I activated my ability and spoke. "You're good with computers. Surely you have been on the dark web. Right?"
The man's eyes gave off a purple hue before he spoke. "Yes. I've been on the dark web."
I smiled at the good news. "Have you ever posted or do you know how to post and not get detected?"
The man nodded and started speaking. "I've posted before and know how to not get caught."
I was curious what a friendly teacher like him could post. So, I asked him. "What did you post?"
"I sell drugs on the side."
"I guess the school's salary isn't too high, huh?"
The man nodded, making me laugh a bit.
"Help me post something once in a while. Also, whenever I clap twice, you'll do as I say. And when I snap my fingers, you'll forget me ever asking about this."
I then snapped my fingers, making his eyes lose the purple hue, successfully snapping him out of the trance. After that, I clapped my hands twice, making him enter the trance. 'Good thing it works.'
Now that I knew I could activate the hypnosis without talking to him or looking him in the eyes, I was ready to ask him how.
"Explain how I can post and get on the dark web."
"First you need to get RotOnion. It's a browser that allows you to get access to the dark web. But remember, you need a VPN to block your address. You don't want people knowing where you live."
'Is it that easy? I thought you needed to hack and do shit like that to get on it.'
"is it that easy?"
"Yes. You will only ever have a hard time when you try to access the deep web, which is much more dangerous than the dark web. To join events on that, you'll need to hack and do a lot of coding. You can also gain access to events by using the password the organizers give you."
I'll stay away from that right now.
The deep web sounds like a lot more trouble and right now I'm a rookie. I wouldn't want some underground hacker to find my location without my consent.
"I'll need you to show me how you post something later. I'll be back soon."
Snapping my fingers, I brought him out of the trance and walked out of the room.
When I walked out, a girl with short black hair walked in. She was the reason I had to cut the 'questions' short.
I went back to my table and continued talking with my friends.
We talked about normal things boys our age talked about. Games, sports, and girls. Eventually, the topic of rejecting Alessia came up.
"I just didn't like her like that. We're still friends."
"Yeah, but wouldn't you feel annoyed if another guy flirts with her? Like, come on. You guys get along so well. What if they get together and separate you two?"
Josh, who was curious, asked.
"Why would I? I rejected her. She has the right to date someone else. Why are you guys asking about this, though? Didn't I already explain it to you guys?"
"The girls made us ask."
Danny explained.

School went by quickly after my computer class.
I didn't get the chance to talk to him again, so I was forced to push my plans to a later date. I was annoyed, but I quickly let it go. More time meant the longer I could perfect my plan.
Once school ended, I went to the mall. That's where I was supposed to meet the guy selling me the phone.
After arriving there, I waited by the main entrance. However, I went inside since it got chilly.
Ten minutes later, the man arrived and walked up to me.
He handed me the phone after I gave him the money. I checked everything he listed was in there and once I got confirmation; I bid the man farewell and went home.
Finally, after so long, I had everything I needed. All except the knowledge of how to post on the dark web and two fighters, who I could easily get.
I was close. Very close. My heart started beating out of my chest with excitement.
I couldn't believe how different I am currently from my past self. I was a law-abiding citizen. But now, I've started dipping my toe into the underworld.
'I can't believe this is really about to happen.'
I jumped on my bed with a wide grin. I then let out a small laugh that filled the quiet room.
I was ready. Ready to etch my name into the history books.
