Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 AWAKENING

Entering his room, he starts scanning it, checking if there are people outside, he heaves a sigh of relief finding no one.

Knocking on the floor, he starts searching for something, after hearing the hollow sound, his eyes lights up.

Lifting the rags that he put down, he opens a hidden compartment, he chuckles as he takes out weird clothings.

It was a thick hoodie jacket, with his body size, it quickly covers his entire being.

Taking out a fox mask, he jumps out of his room's window and quickly disappears from his house.

This is one of the secret that he keeps from everyone.

Entering the shady part of their city, he is quickly greeted by an old man begging for alms.

"Beggar, I heard that there is a situation outside of the city, is our merchandise safe?" He calmly asks.

"Yes boss, we have some scuffle with the demon triad but fortunately, we manage to escape with our goods." The beggar answers with a calm manner.

"Those demon triads seems to be testing my patience! Just they wait, tomorrow, once I am done with my work, gather everyone, let us show them why we are considered the top gang of this city." He stated solemnly.

Hearing this, the calm beggar starts trembling, he cannot help but recall the memories of their first conquest.

"Yes, Boss! I think it is better if we do this the day after tomorrow, I do not know what you are doing but since you consider it quite important, we should first let those bxstards have one more day to live." The beggar mutters coldly.

"Alright, I am just here to check the progress of our plan, the situation right now is quite dire." He states solemnly.

Leaving the slum, he travels in different spots in order to just be safe from anyone from following him.

In this world full of mystique abilities, being careful would not hurt him.

Unbeknownst to him, because of the way he moves, multiple figures appears with frustrated expressions.

"We still lost him! D*mn that FOX!" One of them roars as he punches the wall besides him.

"As long as we can capture that person, we would be able to unravel the secret behind the berserk pills!" He states with greed in his eyes.

The others also nodded with greedy eyes, the berserk pills is one of the crazed item for martial artists right now.

If you consume it, your strength would increase exponentially, sure it might have some drawbacks but it is quite a lethal trump card.

Sean returns back home, he exhales a deep sigh, living with two personalities makes him weary.

"This world is starting to affect me too much." He mutters to himself as he looks at the roof of his room.

He looks at his hands and the memories of his first kill keeps appearing on his mind.

With bloodied hands, he can no longer call himself a saint, he kills for money.

Unknowingly a tear falls down on his eyes, he cannot help but remember the memories of his past life.

He is a child from a rural country, sure, their family might not be wealthy but they are happy.

He does not know why he transmigrated in this world but he keeps recalling the memories of him feeling despondent of not being able to give money to beggar.

The phrase continues to ring in his mind.

Your parents raised you better than this.

This hurts him deeply but in order to adapt in this world, he had to become a killer.

Sleeping with the pain in his heart, the night passes by without anymore surprises.

Waking up, he looks at the old wood above him, taking a deep breath, he slaps both of his cheeks and smiles.

"Good morning people!" He yells out loud, his two parents who had just woken up smiles after hearing his loud voice.

It was him that changed their boring, full of anxiety lives.

They might not say it but inwardly, the reason why they had tried for another child is because of him.

His existence has light up their lives and throughout their lives, he has not just been giving them happiness but also wealth.

"Sean, come down and prepare yourself! Today is the day of your awakening!" His mother's voice was both caring and worried.

His father looks at him with a complicated expression, it was filled with guilt, he knows that compared to him, his son is much more talented.

He was unable to give him anything in this life, that is why he tries his best to earn as much money as he can just in order to give them a better life.

He is not that worried, nor is he expecting anything, he already have his talent and that was his two worms in the backyard.

Just as he gets out of their house, he was greeted by a large car.

He is taken aback, of course he immediately recognized that this car is quite luxurious.

"Who?" Just as he is confused, a person pops out of the car's window.

"Hurry up!" It was Lucy, her face is quite anxious.

"What!? How are you up so early!?" He is surprised.

"This is not the time for your jokes! Hurry up! We want to be the first ones to undergo the awakening test!" She shouts.

Smiling bitterly, he can only enter the car, Jane and Komi are already inside.

Both of them are trembling slightly because of nervousness.

Sean let's out a sigh as he can understand why they are nervous, unlike him, they do not know what is going to be their talent.

"Come on! Cheer up! I know that you guys are all nervous but remember, wether you obtain a combat or high grade innate ability or not, your own cultivation is still the most important!" He loudly shouted.

The guards that were listening cannot help but smile bitterly, this is both true and false at the same time.

Still, his words has lessen the worries of the girls, they are determined that whatever ability they obtain, they are going to train hard to become true martial artists.

"Are you really not going to strive forward to become a martial artist?" Asks Jane.

This has been the question that they have been asking to him all of this time.

They feel that he is wasting his talent in martial arts if he pursue a scientific path.

"Well yeah, there is an incredibly high chance that I am going to awaken an ordinary ability because of my parent's history and unlike Ersha, I was not born with innate strength." He explains.

It is no secret that he trains twice as hard as others but the results he obtains is only as great as an average man.

According to Doctor Monroe, he seems to be suffering of some sort of mysterious illness, making his body much weaker compared to regular human of his age.

It is like he can only exhibition only half of his true strength, after learning this, he was greatly shocked and at the same time disappointed.

He decided to focus in science, not because he had given up but because he realises that he has a knack in creating medicine.

The three girls were silent after hearing his answer, there is no hint of sadness in his voice but it was them that feel dismayed.

They cannot help but recall the memory of Doctor Monroe completing his check up on Sean.

"You do not need to have a superb body to become a true martial artists, only a regular one and I can bet my life that even awakening an ordinary ability, you would certainly become a true martial artists." He stated this with tears in his eyes.

Kneeling while trying to suppress his emotions. "If only! IF ONLY! Why!? Why is the world so cruel!"

That time, only Sean was nonchalant, the others were too much in a shock.

Their car suddenly stops, causing everyone to stumble, especially the three girls since they are in a trip down memory lane.

"Hey! What's the big idea!?" Lucy was furious, she asks the driver.

"Young miss, a vehicle has suddenly appeared in front of us." The driver nervously explained.

Lucy raises her eyebrow as she lowers the car's window and check what is currently happening.

"Great, just great, it is none other than that obnoxious bxstard." Lucy's expression turns to disgust seeing the insignia in the car.

"My dear Lucy!" A loud voice appears, Lucy hurriedly raises the window once again, afraid to see the person.

Sean laughs out loud, being friend with Lucy all of this time, he, of course recognize the owner of the voice.

"To think that he would wait for you here, it seems that unlike you, he is not nervous in his awakening." He teases.

The three girls immediately kicks him.

Meanwhile, inside the car in front of Lucy's, a young man was looking at the luxurious car behind them.
