"Brother, what are you doing?" Raising his head, he turns to his sister and smiles.
"Nothing, I am just feeding my worms." He chuckles as he waves his hand.
"That again? Aren't you excited at finally being able to learn martial arts? Why are you so fixated at those earthworms?"
Hearing his sister's question, his eyebrow twitches as his smiles becomes a bit forced.
"Hahaha! Just a hobby of mine, by the way, why did you call for me?" He changes the topic.
"Right! I nearly forgot! Mom and Dad has been calling for you to talk about something."
Seeing his sister leave, he can only sigh as he turns towards the worms with a complicated expression.
These are no ordinary earthworms but ones that he had been nurturing these past few years.
[Name: None/None
Strong Earthworms: Nurtured by their trainer, they are much stronger and resilient than other earthworms.
Level: Normal Rank Low Grade (Tier 0)]
He sighs, he is not a person of this world, he is a transmigrator.
At first he was so excited, he was an avid novel and mangga reader.
Unfortunately, he had made a fatal mistake, in this world, people would awaken their innate ability when they are eighteen.
That is when they can finally start practicing martial arts.
He awakened his much earlier, this should have been something that he would celebrate.
Unfortunately, the circumstance of his awakening was an epic fail, his innate gift was nurturing and he can sign a contract with a native being in this world.
He learned this after his awakening, he signed a contract with earthworms by mistake, they are so weak that he managed to obtain two of them with a price of one.
He tripped and fall, scraping his knee and this causes his blood touched a bunch of worms that he wanted to use as baits.
Two of them were lucky enough to become his pets and prevented their demise as his baits.
Recalling thus, he can only sigh and covers his pets with soil before walking back home.
This world is similar to his former one but there is a major difference.
Gates, portals to other worlds, they are not blessings but a catastrophe to this world.
Beings that looks likes beasts starts appearing out of them and wreak havoc in this world.
Of course humans fought back, with their technology advancements and weapons of mass destruction, they managed to defeat the weaker beasts.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of stronger beasts, humans were pushed back once again.
They can only resort to drastic measures and use their strongest weapon.
Nuclear Bombs!
Humanity's greatest and worst weapon at the same time.
During the day of destruction, what humans calls it.
Every country that have them released all of them at the same time, causing what they call, humanity greatest strike.
Just as everyone thought that with this strike, they would be able to destroy the largest gate of this world or at least kill all the powerful beasts that were coming out of it.
They were stunned to see a being that seems to block the sun swallowing all the bombs.
Everyone only feels despair, that is when multiple beings flying in the sky appears and pushed back the beasts.
They were martial artists from different worlds, they had arrived in this world in order to invite humans to join their alliance.
This was the start of the great age of martial arts.
After countless test, it was widely known that only those of eighteen and above are able to safely learn martial arts.
"Mom, Dad, you called for me?" Arriving at their simple dinner table, he smiles.
Their family consists of four people, his mother, father and younger sister, they are not considered as well off but they are also not poor.
They are a family of middle class, seeing him, his mother smiles and his father just nods.
"We called you here to talk about your awakening." His mother's voice is full of concern.
Even his father looks at him full of concern, their family has never produced anyone that has a potential to become true martial arts.
Seeing their gaze, he cannot help but laugh bitterly inwardly.
"Do not worry mom, I am no longer a child, I do not have any foolish dream like awakening a powerful combat ability." He told them calmly.
After awakening his so called gift, he actually signed a contract with three earthworms.
He is no longer thinking of any unrealistic dream, especially after researching more about this world.
The number of people dying everyday is too horrifying for him who had come from a world that might not be safe but at least has some rules regarding basic human life.
Seeing him like this, his father sighs as he recall about his past, he had bragged to everyone when he was a child that he would be the one that would be the start of a legend in their family.
Too bad, even after all these years, he has been in the skin tempering realm.
Actually, this is no surprise for people of their gift and status.
"Besides, I think Scarlet is more suited to become a martial artists compared to me." He turns to his sister.
Unlike him, his sister was actually much stronger than average people, since she was a child, she had been always a voracious eater.
Without him finding her food to eat, using some tactics from his knowledge in his former world, she might had been a malnourished girl.
It is said that gifts can manifest itself before it's awakening but this is only the case for powerful ones.
He is certain that she has a gift that increases her physical strength, unfortunately for her, this has a massive drawback.
Her energy consumption was greater than normal humans and she has always been searching for food.
The two grown ups turns to their daughter and smiles gently, they also can see that she is different from the rest.
"Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved, for now, why don't you hang out with Komi and your friends?" She suggested.
Hearing this, it seems that this was not a bad idea, compared to him, his friend might have better prospect.
"Yeah, I think I am going to hang out with Komi and the others, do not wait up tonight." Waving his hand goodbye, he left their house.
Their world after the war was never the same since, the martial artists that had arrived here were banished by some sort of power.
The only way for the people of this world to contact them again is through the gates that they specifically left behind.
Humanity has been fighting a losing war ever since, everyone was just trying to get by and together with the fact that most higher-ups focuses in nurturing martial artists.
The amount of resources given to the common people are extremely pitiful.
"Hello aunt Shouko, is Komi here?" A woman with a gorgeous feature appears in front of him.
She is the mother of his childhood friend, she is considered as one of the most beautiful woman in their neighborhood.
"Komi is upstairs, it seems that she is quite nervous for tomorrow." She kindly let him in.
"Haha, I am also quite nervous, that is why I want to bright her out with the others to relax." He lied.
Cass chuckles, she knows that most if not all teenagers are now quite nervous in their upcoming awakening but he is quite different.
"Yo Komi, you there?" Knocking on her door, he waits for a reply.
A rustling was heard behind the door as a young woman with a long black hair and a beauty that radiates the place around her.
Her eyes it is as if a seductive cat, she is the epitome of beauty.
Sean (The name of the main character), can only sigh, if he did not raise her like his little sister, he might have fallen for her.
Unfortunately, because of her, he had been through a lot of trouble in his childhood.
"Are you nervous for the awakening?" He asks.
She quickly nods her head.
He chuckles and pats her head.
"Why are you so nervous? Your mother has an ancestor that had successfully become a true martial artist and your father also belong to a prestigious lineage."
She is still nervous though, it is because of the pressure that she is currently carrying.
"Okay, I understand, that is why I think that we should hang out today to relax, let us go to Jane and Lucy's house." He suggested.
Thinking about this, Komi realises that this was a great idea but she looks at him silently.
He immediately understood what she meant even if she did not say it, his eye twitches, he can only.
"Okay, I will not invite Adonis, it will only be you girls plus me, who I repeatedly stated that is a normal guy." He grumbles while looking at her with an annoyed look.
