Kingsly opened his eyes to a dark wet cave.
"AWWWW" he screamed out in pain.
Every inch of his body was in shearing pain similar to someone beating you with a bat.
Looking around he found that he was lying on a carved formation full of blood.
Sitting up to have a better view of his surroundings he noticed that there was no ceiling just pitch-black darkness. His clothes felt wet noticing this his attention was drawn towards a lake a few meters away.
"dam" Kingsly winced in pain as he rose to his feet.
The formation he was laying on pumped out some eerie purple light that illuminated the cave.
Standing up he felt blood drip down his arm from a wound on his shoulder.
Looking for a way out he spots a door made of some kind of black metal.
"This better be a fucking way out" He stumbled his way over to the door trying not to fall over.
"BANG" He put slight pressure on the door, and it fell inwards.
Stepping on the door multiple lanterns on the wall light up with white fire.
"Well, that's not creepy at all," he said looking around the room.
The room had beautiful rustic architecture lining the walls with the room-making shape of an octagon. In an x 4 thrones sat against opposite walls. The 4 thrones had skeletons sitting on them wrapped in black chains.
"Well, this is grim," he said walking towards the middle of the room.
"AAAAHHHHH" He shouted as a splitting headache came on out of nowhere.
The pain was so bad he stumbled and fell over. Lying on the ground memories he never had started flooding his brain causing him to fall unconcise.
------------------------------------
Kingsly's body previous owner had a hellish life.
The boy's name was Kai. He was around 17 years old.
Kai's life was not an easy one he suffered even as a baby.
He was born with a natural deformity leaving one arm crippled leading to his mother and father abandoning him a few months after birth.
Luckily for Kai, a passer-by found him and took him to a local orphanage. Kai was bullied and beaten by most people at the orphanage for his deformity until he reached 8 years old.
He got adopted by a farm family who had multiple children. The family had a boy and a girl both with golden blond hair around the age of 10.
For a year he was a workhorse for the family doing chores from 6 in the morning till 9 at night. His meals were better than the orphanage but left him hungry for more.
But apart from back-breaking labour, it was a better time that was until the war broke out with a neighbouring kingdom.
Times got harder food became more rationed, but the worst part was his adoptive father started drinking more.
For an entire year when he missed a chore or did something wrong, he would get new bruises. On one such beating, he was thrown into the cellar with the rats.
being stuck with the rats for 12 hours made him catch a terrible fever leaving him bedridden for a few months. He recovered but half his sight did not. now he was partially blind.
Soon his sibling's 12 birthday happened where they would awaken their classes which put his adopted parents in high spirits lessening his burden. His sister awakened a legendary class holy priestess while his brother also awakened a legendary class, golden knight. This made both parents extremely happy once they went to an academy their family would most likely become a noble family.
(Class ranks common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, mythical, divine)
Of cause, they wouldn't attend the academy until they turned 14 so they had 2 years to wait. Kai soon turned 12 and his time to awaken came.
Walking into the church he was brimming with joy and soon his turn came up. walking toward the alter Kai's body was shaking with excitement. Placing his hand on the altar and. NOTHING. Nothing happened the look on his face was devastation.
A priest said because of his deformities he couldn't absorb any form of energy be it Qi or Mana meaning awakening was impossible.
His adoptive parents seemed a little disappointed. Making their way home Kai found to his surprise a feast for him there was even some meat. He was still disappointed, but his childishness made him happy. He ate as much as he could till, he was almost bursting soon after eating he started feeling weirdly sleepy.
"buufff"
He passed out headfirst into the table fast asleep.
"I will give you 5 silver for the boy," A man said walking into the house with a black cape on.
His adoptive parents didn't argue and excepted the payment.
The man grabbed the boy and flung him over his should before walking out of the house.
For that, he was sold to a slaver all because he had no value.
The slavers took him to a local city branding his useless arm with a slave magic seal. He spent the next 3 and a half years doing labour for the slavers and the black market until one person wanted to buy him.
He was a warlock known for his brutal experiments but surprisingly for the first few months, he only used kai as manual labour.
One night the warlock was angry over a failed experiment, and he chose to take out his frustration on Kai by injecting him with a black tar-like substance.
It was slowly killing him but after the warlock got all the information, he wanted he dumped Kai into the forgotten pit.
Kai woke up floating in the pool at the bottom. He clawed out of the water and lay on a circular slab.
Laying on his back blood pouring out of some cuts all he could think.
"why why why WHY WHY WHY ME" He started mentally collapsing as he lay bleeding out.
He wanted his vengeance. As he closed his eyes a bloody glow started to seep from the stone slab, he lay on soon turning into lightning.
