-In the school clinic room
"You level 1 piece of crap! When are you going to learn that you don't belong in this world" A nurse chided the heavily injured boy lying next to him. To which the boy lowered his head in embarrassment.
Harassment had become a daily occurrence for him but it still bothered him just as much every day that he couldn't help himself but retaliate.
As a result Gwynn Cleveland got beaten up. His right arm would had been amputated if not for a kind doctor in the school who was also has a powerful healing ability.
"Dammit I can't believe it!" The nurse complained "it's the last day of school for God's sake"
After getting his treatment done Gwynn stood up , thanked the nurse and left.
Today was the last day of school for and he was hoping just once someone wouldn't try anything with him. Gwynn was sick and tired of it and he wasn't the type to ignore it either. But maybe that was also the reason he was targeted the most.
Gwynn didn't bother to stay at school like the rest of the students. As he walked past, he saw people talking to each other. Some were laughing while some had tears thinking it was the last time they would ever see each other again but Gwynn wasn't a part of any of that and he didn't want to be.
When he finally arrived home, Gwynn immediately got to work. Gwynn lived in a single bedroom apartment that had just enough space to fit a single bed and desk...There wasn't much to it.There was also a TV that was part of the wall.
The apartment was provided to him by the government since he had no one and was still only 16.
Gwynn entered the room put down his bag packed his stuff in a luggage and then went to lie on his bed and turned on the TV for some background noise.
The TV was currently tuned into the news station.
"The peace treaty with the Tanari race has lasted for five years now but officials say that tension is rising once again and we must prepare for another war...."
The mention of war had always been shown on the TV nonstop since that day. Thirty years ago, the human race received a visit from the so-called Tanari race . They looked like humanoid race with a extra eyes
They immediately demanded that the Human race hand over their resources and wanted to use them as slaves. Of course, the humans decided to fight back but they quickly found out that their modern technology was useless against them. Bullets couldn't work on them of them some are too tough some were too agile while some were just like water and would survive even with a bullet piercing right through them.
And as for tanks, well Tanaris had airships and whatnot.
Every man and woman was told to fight for their planet and that included Gwynn's parents. The war went on for years and Gwynn grew up not knowing what his parents looked like.
When the humans were on the brink of defeat, a select few came forward. These people had special abilities. They began sharing their knowledge of how they obtained such power in hopes of turning the tide in the war and it worked. Even so, the Tanaris were still strong and a seemingly endless stalemate lead to the peace treaty signing five years ago.
Of course, human greed got the better of humanity and instead of sharing these powers with everyone, the higher ranked governmental officials decided to keep them for themselves. Only those with money were able to learn the more powerful abilities while everyone else was left with scraps.
Gwynn wasn't given anything either . When his parents died at the age of ten, an agent appeared at his doorstep giving him the news and shifting him here in this apartment along with the telling him that the government will pay up for his daily accommodation while he was still in school but that was it .
"Higher ups...a bunch of hypocrites"
Gwynn sneered remembering the words of the agent.
Gwynn's parents gave their lives their homeworld yet he didn't get any abilit
They just don't want anyone else to rise and be equal to them.
"I don't care about those bullshits but I just don't ..... "
Then what? What does he wants to be if not to become the ruler of an entire race.
Strongest?
Maybe yes...
'I don't like this corrupted government I want to put an end to it.'
'I just want to change the system'
Ding!
Suddenly a sound resounded in his head.
"What the hell is happening!"
Than a holographic screen appeared in front of him.
[origin ability is reacting]
[Initiating the awakening sequence]
. At the same time, Gwynn's vision was starting to fade. His body felt weak and his eyes slowly shut.
But just before he passed out, there was a single message that he heard.
[Congratulations you have awakened Anc...]
Unable to maintain consciousness long enough to hear the final words, Gwynn passed out.
