Walking on the field with my muscular friend bruce, we were on our way to the cafeteria "man am starving" Bruce said holding his stomach, I won't lie I was hungry too since I haven't eaten since yesterday as I was too confused and stressed out about my situation, but being a warlock, I couldn't show my weakness to others. "Let's just go" I said, while we were walking, minding our own business "hey you two" three boys came running our way, and I could smell trouble "I remember you two" the oldest out of the three said "you're the ones after young master Sean's girl", well the owner of this body seems to have angered this people, if I was still a warlock I would have wiped them out with ease, but right now I can't afford to anger them "Robert please don't do this now, he's been on the sick bed for two weeks, if you were to fight him now, he could probably die" luckily Bruce had been brave enough to stand beside me, because I had no words to defend myself "and why would we just allow you two to walk away freely" Robert said with a grin on his face "we'll pay you for it" Bruce said "a 100$ each" robert said, Bruce immediately dipped his hands into his pocket, took out 200$ and gave it to Robert while I stand there watching, Robert took the money and left with his minions "well there goes our lunch money" Bruce said while looking at the back of the ones who had just robbed us, "well since there's nothing left to do I'll just head back home, I'll come pick you up tomorrow" Bruce said walking away in sadness, "don't worry Bruce I'll get stronger and I'll get our money back... With interest" I said with a grin

Back on my dorm "shit, it feels like my stomach is turning inside out" I couldn't hide the pain of hunger anymore, I scanned the room for anything edible, finally my search immediately came to an end as I found a fridge near the door, "how did I not noticed that", my dorm had a very tiny space so I wondered how I didn't noticed the little fridge, I immediately headed for the fridge, I opened it, and I was surprised that there was still some edible items in it, there was a half eaten ham burger and a soda I took it out. I ate the burger and gulped down on the soda and it felt good " I wonder how Bruce would be doing... well I shouldn't be too worried about him he has some friends and moreover his family was close to this school so he would have probably eaten his full by now" I thought to myself. Suddenly, memories surged through my head but this time not as painful as before, "this..." this was a painful memory, it was how the owner of this body or do I say jack, lost his parents. But why do I feel sad for them, they are not my own parents. "I need to fight whatever memories of jack that would bring me down" I thought, Jack's parent had died few years after he was born in a war with unknown species and the most painful part of it was he never knew what those species were or what they looked like, but I knew "haha... Hahahahahaha, so those primordial kings couldn't stop the demons from breaking into their city, serves them right for killing, now they know how useful I am", being a warlock wasn't just a title, it had it responsibility too and as the only warlock in existence, it was my responsibility to defend the city against the demons. They were species that came from the underworld to colonize our world because of their selfish reasons and I was the one incharge of keeping them out of the border, so no one knew of their existence except the seven primordial kings, but they got too greedy to be the strongest that they took care of their only problem "me", now that I'm out of the picture, no one was there to take care of the demons, they kept coming, more and more of them, now they're the primordial kings problem and now they're slowly becoming the people's problem. "I have to get stronger" with that I immediately left my dorm and headed to the field

I was currently on the field of starfield academy working my butt off I had meditated for at least 5 hours and did some mild training. Luckily it was enough for me to break through to the 7th meridan level. I was progressing but too slow I needed a boost and I also happen to know how to get a breakthrough easily.
