Ahhh!!!!!.....Panting heavily drenched in sweat, with dread written all over his face, a young man could be seen on a bed in a small room looking like a prison cell.
Sitting drenched in his own sweat, he muttered to himself, "Am sorry,am sorry for being a worthless child". Picking himself off the bed he went to take a shower and wore a light blue cloth like those of an inmate.
Shortly after, a loud voice could be heard saying " All specimen are to assemble in the addressing hall in less than 2 minutes, failure to do so will result in punishment, hehe". The voice enden with a creepy chuckle which made Arian shudder in fear.
Opening the room's door, Arian started running at a speed which would put the fastest man in pre- awakening to shame. Speeding past several teens of roughly same age as him, Arian ran for approximately 2 kilometers, finally stopping in a large hall the size of 2 football pitch.
" Tsk, you sure run fast for a fatso" Arian said to the only person in the hall, turning back , a chubby boy with a bulging stomach with dark circles around his eyes making him look like a panda " At least I have awakened my innate ability, unlike mister athletic build" he said with obvious sarcasm.
'liam a disgustingly talented brat that only knows how to sleep, yet he grows stronger .Not to mention his innate ability which allows him to skip some moments in time' Arian thought.
" But I can still wipe the floor with your ugly face" Arian retorted. "Good luck with your assessment today" Liam said with a amug smile on his face. With fear on his face Arian scoffs before turning away, by now the huge hall was already getting crowded .
BANG!!! The door of the hall was closed,
"Those that are late are to report themselves to the dungeon" an old man with a long white beard and a bald head walking to the podium on the stage said with his voice sounding around the whole hall without any amplifier, "So today is a special day for most of you because today is the day for your final evaluation before you go on to join our kingdoms army, I am sure you are excited or are you not?"." Yes we are sir" the kids said with visible excitement on their face.
Nodding his head, he said "Can any one of you tell me the history of our planet Earth". Most of the kids raised their hands eager to answer the question, pointing to a nerdy looking kid with glasses and a scrawny build, he said," Go on". " Before the coming of mana, the world was a pea.." . " I don't need you to tell me that start from post-awakenig". he interrupted him.
"After the coming of MANA, the world changed and normal people started gaining abilities some more powerful than the rest, the world was thrown into chaos for years before the truly strong ones came and brought about order to the world and became it's new rulers. This period lasted for 5 decades before the invasion by alien species known as ABBRAX, who at that time were significantly stronger than mankind but due to the bigger threat the whole mankind came together pulled all resources and found ways to go stronger by studying the bodies of ABBRAX. During this dark times where people were hiding in sewers, eating rats and rodents for survival, came a bunch of brave humans known as PIONEERS who had stronger abilities, we were able to defend our home and push back the aliens and reclaim our lost lands.After two hundred years the world has evolved successfully and became a paradise for the strong.This great PIONEERS later on went to establish the kingdoms we have around the world". he said catching his breath after the lengthy speach, "Five mana stones for you" the man said whose name is Razmus. With glee, the nerdy kid bowed and said " Thank you soo much sir" with the other kids shooting him envious gaze.Razmus face brighten up seeing his action ' that's right a mongrel like you can only bow down to me hehe' he thought soothing his ego.
"Eh em, so who can explain to us the terrain of our world" razmus said coughing lightly, the kids hurriedly raised their hands but avoided noise.looking into the crowd, razmus pointed to Arian," The terrain of our world changed with the coming of MANA, it became bigger and sturdier with many natural resources to aid in cultivation like dungeons, herbs,and ruins" he answered .
"As expected of a trash who can't awaken his innate ability" razmus ridiculed him, " You can't even explain properly, let's stop here today" he said as he started walking out of the hall.."Arian report to the general lab the rest of you should go to the training grounds any get evaluated"..
"I think someone is about to be tortured to death today, hahaha " Liam said to Arian laughing about loud. " At least the world would become a better place without a trash like you" he continued.. Without even glancing at him, Arian started walking out with shaky steps, as he walked past every other kid step out of the way as if avoiding a plague, different gaze was thrown his way including disgust, indifference,joy and even pity. Among the crowd only two people looked at him with concern but he didn't even notice because he was busy thinking of how to escape the facility.
' I don't think I can outrun any one of the security members here, even if I were to escape by any chance stronger people will still hunt me down, alas I am still too weak' he thought with a sigh. Without even knowing it he was already standing before a ten meter tall double door made out of Draniu, one of the strongest metals.
Standing in the front of the door Arian felt scared like never before because he knew he might not ever come out of the door. With strange symbols across it surface looking like an ancient language, a pale blue light flashed and scanned him head to toe and a robotic voice sounded " ARIAN CRIMSON, PERMISSION GRANTED". The door slide open and he walked into a lab looking like the perfect example of ancient and scifi with weird animals both big and small. Contrary to his expectations, the lab was not crowded with only four persons, the person that stood out the most was a handsome looking man, he stood out not because of his presence buh the lack of it, the said man turned his gaze to Arian and Arian fell of his knees with blood flows due to the forced with which he went down.' Why am I feeling so scared like I am in the front of an ultimate predator, it's like he can kill me with just his gaze alone, I think I would be dead if he wil...' " How dare you not show respect to his highness Drake by singing his praises!!" Adrian's train of thought was interrupted by a thunderous shout. " It's okay" the man called drake said and stopped looking at Arian. Finally able to breathe Arian looked up to see the that no one was even paying attention to him, he was thrown aside like a piece of trash, clenching his fists he tried standing up gritting his teeth to bear the pain, " Go lie down on that bed" razmus said pointing to a nearby bed with metalic chains, with shaky steps he walked and laid on the bed. The last person in the room a woman, she came silently and started strapping the chains tightly around him.
" Your highness, the drug which we have developed this time is sure to work" razmus said with a face full of flattery, " Hmm, how soo?" Drake replied with indifference. " We were able to acquire a ancient blood sample from the ruins, mixed with our former solutions it should be able to awaken his full potential". Razmus said. " So what's the catch?"the earlier man who berated Arian asked, turning to him as he continued to mixed his chemical solutions, razmus replied "Any one who can't adapt to it will die, Simple but in the case that a specimen is able to adapt to it we will have our selves a potential SS RANKER".. " Impressive, but how much of this blood do you have?" drake inquired. Joyed by the compliment razmus quickly replied, "We have enough to create 4 SS RANKERS ".." Use everything on him, I would rather have a powerful irregular to change the tides of things than to have people who can only serve as a temporary solution" drake said strongly. " Yes my lord" razmus replied obediently.
Bringing out a transparent crystal, a crimson colored blood almost black could be seen moving about like it's alive, the temperature of the room started dropping to a dangerous level. ' what the fuck is that thing, are they seriously going to inject that abomination into me' Arian thought with fear on his face. " It sure looks powerful" drake said with an impressed look. " Yes it is my highness, we lost many rank 7s and even a rank 8 just to acquire It, sigh!!" razmus replied with a sigh. He extracted the blood and mixed it with his solution which made the blood darker and thicker, after placing it in an abnormally long syringe, he started walking over to Arian side. " You better not die on me and awaken like a good boy so you can serve his highness which is an honour for a trash like you" he said, seeing as Arian was not reacting he scoffed and roughly injected him in his neck.
Feeling a hot sensation all over his body, Arian thought ' well it's not soo bad like I expec...' before he could complete his thoughts he felt a searing pain in his head first then the rest of his body. "Ahhhh!!!!" Screaming with tears streaming his eye, Arian trashed around the bed but the chain was not even budging, "Please make it stop, I beg of you, ahhh" he begged them while roaring in pain. He felt as if a million ants with metalic pincers were nibbling on him while he was being cooked alive at that same time, the kind of pain he felt was one that would make the toughest of criminal break down. " Install the electric current into him so as to break his cells further" razmus ordered the only woman in the room, who went on to carry his order like a robot. By electricuting him, one would think the former pain would go away but it only became worse, his throat bleeding from all the shouting and his skin charred black and tears of blood around his face, Arian just kept spamsing from time to time before he finally stopped any movement.
With shaky voice razmus bowed his head to drake and said "Am sorry my lord, but the specimen is dead" without any remorse only regret for the waste of 'resources'. Phew" what a waste of time" drake said and started disappearing like he was not existing. Silently, both him and his lackey disappeared, breaking things apart razmus started shouting " trash trash even in your death you are still a trash" taking a deep breath he turned to the woman and said " take the record and dispose of his corpse" and he left the lab.
Picking his body from the bed and placing him in a black plastic bag , she wrote: " Name; Arian Crimson
