Just like another day Jake was being beaten up by some group of ability users.One of them named Chidera
He has gotten used to it since it had started since college.
Ever since the use of ability came to existence because of the war against the draki's -an alien species that wanted to eliminate and conquer earth. The system and government of things changed as those at the top were the ones ruling ( ones with high level ability and power) and those below had to beg and remain under their rule, power and authority.
When Jake got home since it was his last day of school as every child had to go to the EDC school which stood for Earth Defence Corps school for 2 year once they turned 16; he decided to take a bath, then change his battered clothes, as in two days the EDC personnel that would take them to the military base for registration when a certain book on the shelf that his parents had left for him caught his sight.
The book had a rough surface and gave of an unreal feeling and aura of being devoured and destroyed. On the book surface one could see pictures of reality bending (a feat that no had ever achieved currently on earth even with the cutting edge technology advancement.) and a crystal coming out from the book.
Jake looked at the book brought it out from the shelves and tried to open it one more time. He had tried everything possible method to open the book yet it would not budge.
He had tried burning the book but instead of burning it the flame would loose it heat drop to room temperature 🌡️ or it will simply avoid the book making it look like the fire wasn't touching it.
He tried using hammer 🔨 but it would not budge. He tried acid same reaction. Nothing he had tried ever since 9 when he lost his parents were working.
So out of anger of his parents leaving him a useless book he hit the book with his hands on the place the crystal was and instantly he felt his a tinge on his hands behold their was a small cut which blood driped from and he suddenly felt his essence been drawn into the book and suddenly the book opened and he fell unconscious.
But just before falling unconscious he saw a small screen appear in his line of sight which read
[Congratulations on successfully opening the book]
[You've gotten the Devourer System]
And with thad he fell unconscious.
