Scream and agony echoes loudly in an alley as the young boy tried to pull out the metal pipe stuck between his rib cage that punctured his heart.
Blood flows out of center of the pipe which trickle down to the soil and start painting it red.
He tried to breath calmly but his body start shutting down.
Like a computer plug out from it's power source, his body start malfunctioning.
His body began to collapse, he felt heavy.
He felt like a tons of metal bars are pushing his body down, gravity start to get stronger and his mind spin like a fan.
'Shyt! what a dumb ass luck'
He cursed loudly in his mind as his eyes starting closing while his brain start flashing memories before his eyes.
'Huh! it's true, memories really start irritating you when you are dying' he chuckled.
He can still vividly remember some of the word that his grandmother used to lecture him.
The start of his childhood, his friend, nightmares, parent and enemy.
Face of his trauma also surface.
'If I survive this shyt, I will fucking kill those motherfucker' he cursed wildly unrestrained.
He used to be a good student, like just any other average people.
He survive in a battlefield called school where competition are fierce, intelligence is the winner and lazy is the loser.
'heh, If I have another chance I would like to restart my life' he click his tongue but blood start pressuring his throat.
With his little strength, he tried to position his body beside the wall to relax.
'Ahh, life is about luck huh?!' he smiled with full of contempt and sadness.
"I think this is my last breath and words" he said silently while rain start pouring down washing the blood cleaning the red paint in the soil.
'GAME OVER' he thought while he inhale his last breath.
.....
In the center of forest, stands a little hut full of weapon.
It has many variety like knives, sword, spear, and other more bladed and blunt weapon.
A young man was carving a wooden stick, he polish the tip until it turned sharp.
'Can my life just a little bit more happy' he sigh.
"Dumb luck, I hate this shyt" he scream loudly.
The expression in his face didn't show any fear even though the beast in the vicinity was roaring madly.
It was only full of anger and curses but.
Bitterness start showing in his face, it was full of hate and regret.
"I was naive, very naive" he said with tears.
"I thought I can do it but I can't" he murmurs silently.
He remember his past 15 years of experience in this life.(Yes, just as you, thought he is Blaze)
His name is Drake, the reincarnation of Blaze.
Just like many novel, when you reincarnate you start as a toddler were you remember your past life.
Your life just circle from eating to sleeping.
But sometimes, because of boredom he tried stealing books to read the history of his new world.
He was shocked to know that this world was full of knights and magic.
Like just some typical main character he start dreaming of his beautiful future.
Adventures, love, rival and peaceful life after some effort.
He start day dreaming that lead him in this pitiful state.
In the first half of his life in this world was wonderful, his parents love him so much that his felt bliss unlike his other life with is full of loneliness and dread.
He has a little sister which only one year younger that him and it was a family full of happiness.
He thought, what could he possibly ask for more, he was blissed.
In an age of 9 he start showing his talent in academics like math, history and theories of weaponry.
He didn't know why science is missing but it was filled by other subject, Theories of Magic.
It was very develop that almost all item in his household is full of magic items, his bed and rooms were magic engineered.
Because of his past life knowledge and experience which you can call cheats.
His intelligence was top notch that the King of his empire recognized his talent, he was awarded by many award in his elementary days, he even contribute to the kingdom by inventing the magic phone.
At the age of 13 he was very bliss but how can the story develop without some conflict, because of to much wealth and fame he develop a nasty temperament, greed and prideful.
He start cursing others and look down on beggar, he became the typical villain, a cannon fodder in the beginning story.
An extra who will just get thrown out of the story line in the later part.
His bad reputation start affecting him negatively, his friend start mocking him, they leave him and trampled him until he was left with nothing.
Even his parent start distancing away from him because he was wild and dangerous.
His mind was only full of anger and humiliation.
In his 15th birthday, he start recalling his happy days, his childhood life, a blissful one he thought.
So until that day, he stayed in his home.
He never get out of his room again, he cried and regrets start drowning him but life again start becoming darker after half year of his regret, when he was ready to face the world again but how.
That day, he was cleaning his room to tidy it up a little when he found a talent ball scanner.
A device which measure you aptitude and talent in magic and weaponry.
This was given to him by the King as the reward for making new invention that might change history.
But what he got was more like darker truth.
His talent was black and devoid of light which means he was talentless and crippled.
He has a disease called mana deficiency unlike what it word describes, it's real meaning was because of his talent which cannot hold his large mana pool the capacity holder of his mana core broke down and shattered.
It literally means his life is over.
Irregular was curse in this world because people believed that being an irregular means the child was curse by heaven.
But what really scared Drake was the family of the irregular must also be killed to stop the disease from spreading into generation.
In the start he thought, it was that the item has just malfunction like some technology in his past life but after many more try, his calm facade faded when his heart start beating fast because of its uniqueness.
The talent ball scanner shows the color of vanta black which absorbs light like a black hole which trap lights which shows the talent color of an irregular.
In his panic he cried and despair.
Both emotion mixed up that his mind became bleaker, he was losing hope, hope that might salvage his life to new again and might also endangered his family to extinction.
That day he cursed the world and heaven for give him useless talent and broken core, he will tear the earth down until it bow down to him.
With his new found direction, he prepared after that day some materials he hope might help him in this journey.
Packing his necessary tools like screw and other tools which was mostly be found in his last life, he put it in his 5 meter square dimensional pocket.
After preparing, he open the lock in his window before jumping into the bushes like an expert thief.
He navigate through his backyard passing through many guarded space.
After 8 minutes of creeping and hiding he finally navigate himself out of his house.
He journey then straight to the north where he found the teleportation circle when he was 9 years old.
He was playing with his sister that day to find himself a reason, if he is found outside, why he was gone all day.
After minutes of running, he press a stone right beside a crimson tree which felt dreadful.
It has an aura of dominance which drive out insect and mysteries that amaze him which lead him to trigger the mechanism to activate the teleportation circle.
Smile emerge in his face which was mixed with sadness and regret.
Light shines out of the the blue before red orange light of line formed a circle of pattern that might mesmerized anyone if you saw it for the first time.
The tree as the center of the circle turn back to brown like any other tree before Drake shadow faded into nothingness.
After that event, his family start looking at him everywhere because he suddenly disappear out of nowhere.
But what can they do without lead, even though his father was a Duke, can they find his trace even using tracking magic.
The teleportation circle was also his insurance because his track disappear after he teleported out of nowhere.
Two months after.
Drake found himself researching how to take out his core and then replacing it with more compact and strong beast core.
He wasn't content with human mana core anymore because of his last experience.
Unlike human core, Beast core was more stronger, it hold more mana and have more room to improve than human.
Human core talent is already set before his birth, it can only be enhance by using all kinds of potion and herb that might even bankrupt a kingdom to dirt.
After he teleported in this basement which he found, it was this place where he tried almost all his experiment when he was just a beginner inventor.
Almost all his hidden invention was here, a secret hideout which he always dream of.
This place was own by a 9th rank mage, A limit breaker who stood on top of the world.
It was the pinnacle of this world, they can call out weather to abide their wishes and draw out water from the sea to conjure tsunami that has power to drown out a kingdom to ruins.
He found the work of this mage by luck which he now used as a secret lab.
