Shaun wasn't just a simple 17-year-old guy, he possessed more than what his peers' had with the amount of fame and money in his hands.

Despite his seemingly perfect features, his only downside for his whole being was the fact that he was adopted.

Nevertheless, that didn't dragged him down. Rather, it became his own motivation to prove to everyone that he can be a better person, although he was adopted.

His adoptive mother was the second daughter of the Kang family, Shuna.

One day, Shaun was left near a church where she often went, seeing him so pitiful she decided to adopt him without any hesitation.

Shuna believed that he was God's way to comfort her after her husband's death.

For the past 16 years, Shuna had taken care of Shaun all by herself in the house her husband had left her.

Suddenly, she had a car accident right after returning from the hospital. Unfortunately, the accident took her life. After all, she was just a normal person without any powers.

If she was a Martial Arts Practitioner or even possess some elemental powers, she would have survived a mere accident. But that was just a what if.

As the adopted son, Shaun inherited everything that once belonged to her.

According to the lawyer, his mother already knew that someone wanted to harm her, so she changed her will a week before she passed away.

On the will, she stated that she would give Shaun the remaining 100,000 crystal along with a compass from the bank.

(1 crystal = 100 gold coins)

When the Kang family found out that she had left 100,000 crystal for Shaun, they became furious due to the wealth they have been after was actually given to an outsider.

They wondered why she had left such a huge amount if treasure to him.

They had planned the death of Shuna in order to get the money her husband left her, but instead, they could only smile bitterly looking at the huge pile of treasure given to the hands of an outsider.

Shaun didn't care about the money his mother gave him. He was still depressed that the person who had taken care of him since he was a child was now dead.

It was such a tremendous shock for him that he didn't leave his house for a whole month. He stayed there, grieving for his loss.

After a month he started going out, fortunately it was still summer 'cuz if it was school days, he would have been expelled after being absent for such a long time.

The Kang Family were not satisfied that an outsider was holding the money that was supposed to be theirs, so they sent out affiliated assassins from their clan to go after Shaun.

The assassins were waiting for the right opportunity to kill Shaun for these past month.

They spent a whole month planning and spying him on his mansion. Some of the assassins suggested to bombard the mansion, but that suggestion was turned down due to the Star Sect, the sect that dictates the law.

Once a crime happened in their territory, the whole Kang family will be hunt down. As affiliated assassin of the family, they too will also be hunt down.

They need to kill Shaun through an accidental situation, like how they killed Shuna to avoid the Star Sect's suspicions.

Shaun, oblivious of the schemes behind his back, leisurely walk around the park as he started reminiscing the past memories he had made together with his mom.

Even if he knew that he was adopted, deep inside he would only acknowledge Shuna as his mother and no one will ever take her place, not even his biological mother.
