Name Klein walked towards the man with caution. He could not trust anybody in hell paradise yet talk less of a mystery man.
As soon as he reached inside the alleyway, he heard the man voice.
"Klein I Know your pain, I know your taste for vengeance against the pairese. They wronged you, didn't they?"
"How do you know my name, and who are you. "Klein replied.
"Let's don't focus on how I know your name, let's focus on the reason I chose you out of everyone here".
"Okay, so what is the reason you chose me a powerless human out of all the strong people. "Klein replied.
"The reason I chose you is because of your vengeance, and the fact that you have not awaken your powers yet and some other reason that can't be disclosed at this moment.
"Okay I get it, so what do you want from me. "Klein said.
"I don't want anything from you, instead I have a way to increase the rate of you escaping from here, and making your vengeance close. "He said.
"So what is it. "Klein asked.
"It is this. "He said.
The man brought out a vial that contain something red in it.
"So what is that. "Klein said.
"Just think of it as a solution for all your troubles. "He said.
"So I should just believe you, what if that is a poison, or a solution to turn me into a slave, wo explain better if you want me to trust you. "Klein said.
The man laughed an eery laugh.
"What do I need a poison for, or a solution to turn you into my slave for, if I want to kill you or make you bend to my feet my aura could do that. "He said.
He then release his aura for a second and immediately retracted it.
"See, and I am not forcing you, I am just giving you a quicker way if you want to make the pairese pay for their crimes on you, and you need strength if you want to find your sister and protect her. "He said.
Klein who was already feeling dizzy from the man aura, quickly stood straight when he hear that it could make him stronger.
"Okay I will take it from your hand. "Klein said.
As he wanted to give Klein the vial, he then stop to say.
"Remember, you can not get power without excessive training, hardwork and talent. This vial will give you the foundation and the talent, the rest is up to you. "The man Said.
Klein nodded his head, showing that he understands.
As he wanted to collect the vial, the man stopped again.
"Also remember, with great power comes great responsibility, now take the vial, the fate of the world is on your hands. "He said.
"And also, only take the content of this vial only when you have awaken, if you are too curious and take it before you awaken, anything that happens to you is on you, for I gave you warning and you choose not to listen. "He said.
He then handed the vial to Klein.
Klein then ask him a question.
"Are you sure, you don't want anything from me maybe my soul, because if that is what you are after I am not that desperate yet. "Klein said.
"What do you take me as, I am not a devil, so I don't need your soul, as for what I want you will know the day you awaken, which is not far, so be patient. "He said.
"Okay, but why do I feel I will enter a new stage when I awaken. "Klein said.
"You don't have to worry, it is just your conscious playing tricks on you. "The man said while emitting a knowing smile.
When Klein so his smile he felt worried, but he shrugged it of, telling himself everything will be alright.
When they were done, the man did not leave the alleyway, but told Klein that he can leave.
As Klein turned his back to the man prepared to leave, he quickly remember something, do he turned back to speak to the man but he was no longer there.
It was like he disappear into the wind, or was that all a dream Klein ask himself. But he knows that it is not a dream for he can feel the vial in his pocket.
......
Location - Altier.
Place - military station.
"How is the search on the pairese assassin" the general said.
"Sir, it is coming out null. "The captain said.
"Be fast with your investigation, it as been two weeks since the incident, and house Aristothe is being quiet, I feel that something bad will happen if we fail to find that assassin. "The general said.
"Yes sir, we will hurry our investigation and I assure you we won't miss any detail sir. "The captain said.
After that the captain went away, after he went some thoughts then start to go on in the general mind.
.......................
Two weeks later
Back in Eldrid in hell's paradise.
Klein sat in his cell, his body battered and bruised from his second battle in the pit of conquest. He had fought valiantly, but his lack of power and attributes had put him at a disadvantage. He had managed to win but only by sheer determination, desperation and skill.
As he lay in his room on his bed, he could not help but feel a sense of frustration and desperation, his powers and attributes is yet to be awaken, he is starting to lose up, maybe he may not survive till his 17th birthday, because it looks so slow, even though it is close.
(His birthday is two days later, on April 29th).
Suddenly he received an alert on his hell watch. It tells him that his next match will be in two days, around afternoon time, it also tells him to be prepared.
Klein heart sank, he wasn't ready yet. His power has not awaken, and he was still weaken from his second battle, his body his battered and bruised, even though he has hell point to buy a healing, and relaxing potion, he did not want to buy it.
Why you will wonder. Klein as an identity as a money grumbler, he may be the richest man in the world, yet he won't want to spend it on anything he knows he can survive from.
As he read the alert finish, he then start to wonder will his power and attributes really awaken?, and will it be enough for him to survive the pit of conquest?
The next day passed slowly, Klein's anxiety growing with each passing moment. So on the night of April 28th, as he lay on his bed in his room, he felt a strange sensation coursing along his veins, it was like a spark had been ignited. And his body seems to hum synchronizing with energy.
And then at midnight, on April 29th, Klein's power awaken, he felt a surge of strength, speed , agility, and some other things he don't know flow through him, and his attributes began to manifest.
Klein then remember the vial that was given to him, he then took it from it hiding place, he didn't want to drink it, but he drank it because of his drive for power.
He was no longer a weak powerless person. Now he is a powerless awaken person with attributes and mysterious power.
Here lies Klein power stats.
