Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 1 THE BRACELET

"Huff huff huff"

"Stop right there, you damn thief," shouted from behind.

Ken grows up as an orphan living in the slums of the city due to lack of parental responsibility he didn't have a proper education and had to steal to eat, today he stole a loaf of bread from a bakery and is being chased by the bakery owner. As he was running away, he bumped into his bullies.

"Look who we have here if it's the great orphan, Ken," said a guy who looks like the leader called Rok. " Please move out of the way, Rok, am begging you," pleaded Ken.

" Why should we listen to you," said another guy called Yus, suddenly they heard a shout from afar saying " stop that thief for me ", hearing this Ken begged Rok again saying "Please let me pass I will do anything you want just let me pass" then Rok look down to Ken's hands and saw a loaf of bread and then he smirks " look like the great orphan went to steal again how about we teach a lesson that he will forget".

"Yesss," shouted the rest of the guys.

Suddenly Rok shouted "The thief is over here sir", and the bakery owner rush over to see Ken holding a loaf of bread with anger he punched Ken in the stomach making him fall to the ground " You damn thief if I see you around my shop I will make sure to kill you," said the bakery owner taking his bread and going his way.

Then Rok look at Ken and said " Look like you are in pain well let me break it to you, you just wasted my precious time and how will you pay me back for it because I can see you have not good on yourself for me to take--" said as he paused looking at Ken's left hand to see a bracelet " wow what a wonderful bracelet you have there and I don't mind taking it for myself".

"No, don't take the bracelet. I will do anything, but please don't take the bracelet it is my family heirloom," said Ken in pain. Rok sneered and said, "You damn brat where did you get it from, you are lying for a brat like you that can't even afford a meal will own a family heirloom" Sarcastically Rok took the bracelet and turned to his friends and said, "Let go. There is nothing good about him," leaving Ken to wail in pain.

In an almost collapsed building sat Ken looking lifeless as a thought runs through his mind,' what should I do about the Rok and my bracelet, it is a family heirloom and he might want to sell it for some coins. No, I must kill him. "As he said that, he took a pocket knife and ran out of the house toward the market. Maybe he could find Rok there.

In the marketplace at a broker's place sat Rok trying to sell the bracelet "I will not buy more than 10 coins" said the shop owner " Please I need the money to buy medicines for my grandma can't you see that it is family heirloom I had no choice to sell it to buy medicines" said Rok.

"Hmph, don't you dare lie to me, do you think I don't know that your grandma is dead in fact get out of my shop you bastard" said the shop owner in anger. Rok stand up and look towards him with a sneer on his face and said "You rejected me and I will make you pay for that", as he walk out of the shop towards his underlings and said "Let go somewhere else it seems he is not interested in buy the bracelet" as he turned around he saw Ken looking at him with murderous intent.

"Wow, look who is here again. It is the great orphan Ken who is here to grace us with his presence. " Putting his hand around Ken's neck, why don't you follow us to a place where we will treat you to a great meal". With a smirk on his face, he pulled Ken out of the marketplace toward the slums until they reached an uncompleted building, then he pushed Ken to the floor, and he turned to underlings and said "beat him up good" as he sat on a brick watching everything.

"Boss, look at what we found on him," said one of the underlings as he brought out a pocket knife from Ken's body.

"What are you doing with a pocket knife, Ken?" asked Rok as he looked at Ken with a curious face. "So you want to kill me with just this, guys, free him up."

Standing up, Ken run towards Rok with the intent to stab, but unfortunately, Rok dodged the attack and punched Ken in the guts and kicked him in the stomach and said, "Bastard I gave you mercy before by not killing you since but you dare bring a knife to kill me", he took an iron pole from the floor and start hitting Ken's ankle hard with anger and said, "shit what do you think you are huh?".

Ken wails in pain on the floor as he looks at Rok with murderous intent but Rok look around and picked a stone and walked towards Ken and showing him the bracelet and said "you want this right well let me tell I will break in front of your eyes and you will not do anything about it" then he picked the stone and smashed it on the bracelet.

"NOOOOO," shouted Ken as he crawled towards the broken bracelet, trying to touch it as he was about to touch it, Rok hit in the head with the stone. As Ken loses consciousness, he touch the bracelet to see some blurred word floating in front of him.
