"oh shit!!"
"You hit him too hard man!!"
"He's done for. Look at him bleeding!"
"W-what do we do? If he dies then we'll go to prison! I just got into an academy"
"L-let's get out of here!"
He looked on as the boys ran back up the hill. His vision dimmed,as he lost consciousness. He was covered in blood,with a gaping hole on his chest. Tears flowed down his cheeks as he ground his teeth.
He had been an orphan all his life. He never knew who his mother and father. He was just told that he was found next to the hanged corpse of his mother,with a note stating his full name 'Aaron null'. As he grew up, others thought of him as weak for not having the support of a family. He was bullied because he had no parents. Whenever one of the other children in the village spat an insult at him for not having a family or being poor, he just though...
'How is it my fault? What did I do wrong?'
Was it really that wrong to not have a family? Eventually he just gave up at making sense of it. 'If I get a high awakening rank, I'll be able to escape, won't I?' is what he thought.
With high hopes, he spent countless hours training his body. He trained and trained until he sweat, cried and craped blood, only to have his dreams shattered.
At the age of fourteen, he was unable to awaken, leading to him being bullied even more. But there were countless unawakened, it was actually even uncommon to awaken,so why were they bullying him? Ah,it's because he was weak.
He had lived a pathetic life and would die a pathetic death at the age of sixteen.
As his vision went black, he sighed, wondering how pitiful he was.
________
He felt hot. Like his skin was burning. His limbs felt like they were being beaten with a metal rod. His chest felt heavy, and his stomach churned weirdly.
'Whats going on? I thought I died.'
He opened his eyes, and a wave of shock fell over him.
Towering walls of flames crackled around him, burnt corpses and skeletons strewn around him. The smell of sulphur invaded his nose. The sky was a redish-orange shade, a big red sun sitting in the middle. He should have felt scared,yet he was strangely...at peace. It felt comforting and welcoming.
"Is this...hell? It looks horrifying, but doesn't fell so."
Just as he was thinking that, a blue box appeared in front of him.
Congratulations! You have successfully awakened! Please call your 'status window' to check your stats and awakening rank.
'Awakening! I awakened?! Was I one of those late bloomers or something? Wait...that means this my awakening world!'
"I-its finnaly happening! I awakened! Oh wait...ahem, 'status window'."

As knowledge of his skills flooded his mind, he couldn't help but gape in awe.
'SS+!! I thought S rank was the highest! And a plus rank means that it can evolve! And the hell and chaos attributes at a superior versions of the fire and disorder attributes!I even have two high ranking skills!'
He whooped with joy, completely ignoring the pain in his body. Grinning from ear to ear,he surveyed his stats.
"Not bad. 17 on overall. Considering 10 was average, I'm pretty well of. And I should be able to progress really fast with an SS rank talent"
Just as he was cackling at the top of his voice, he felt his consciousness fade,before opening his eyes again.
He was back in the forest, with his back lying against a tree. His surroundings were peaceful, with birds chirping. He was covered in leaves and dried blood, but somehow there was no wound.
He slowly got up and grinned maniacly.
"Let's get this party started."
