Jake was brought to the hospital together with the child he saved. He went under some tests and was dismissed right away when they didn’t see anything wrong with him. The wounds he got from the scene were all gone. Also, luckily, the child didn’t get any serious injuries from the incident. He was about to get out of the hospital when a doctor suddenly approached him.“You’re Mr. Jake Drummond, right?” the doctor asked while looking at him intently. “Yes, I am. Why?” he responded as he faced the doctor with gray hair and wrinkled face. “How did this happen?” the doctor asked with circled eyes. “You’re supposed to be bedridden for the rest of your life. And your right leg. It was supposed to be broken. How come, you can…” Jake smiled then patted the doctor’s right shoulder. “There are things in this world that are really hard to understand, doc. Just be happy for me.” Then he leaned and whispered to the doctor’s ear. “And please don’t tell this to anybody. This is better kept sec

Jake yawned then glanced at a clock just outside his father’s building. It was already 12 noon and he hasn’t eaten anything yet since yesterday and the MMA fight that he would be joining was scheduled at 9 o’clock. “Ah! That old man! If I could just use my mind control again!” he said while clenching his teeth. “I’ve never been so hungry my entire life. I have to eat something so I can use my magic.” He looked at the Aetherlock and its bright red gem turned dark. “Ah, so you won’t work if your owner’s energy is also low. I guess I can’t do anything now but to look for food.” He looked around, hoping to see someone he knew or a small shop where he could ask even for just a glass of water. But there was nothing. All that was there were luxury shops and expensive fine dining restaurants. “But complaining will do nothing. I have to do something.” He stretched his back and arms then he started to walk away though he didn’t know where exactly to go. He was about to cross the street wh

“That was an impressive fight,” Mr. Drummond said to Jake. “But we can’t discuss matters here. Follow me.”Jake remained silent. The body guards followed him as he walked after his grandfather. He was led to a massive metal door. And nobody would ever believe that such a place existed within the shabby bar. His father pushed the door and the smell coming out of the room made him cover his nose. He was not a fan of strong disinfectant and drugs. He entered the room then the doors were shut by the bodyguards.“What is this place?” Jake asked as he looked around. There were a lot of sample tubes, beakers, microscopes, and machines he was not really familiar with in the room. There were also some huge glass jars containing skin of species he didn't know and some internal organs.“This is a secret laboratory of my company. Secret experiments are done here by my carefully selected people and pharmaceutical scientists,” the old man replied. “And this is one of the places that you would tak

Gunfires, screams, and laughter of the gangsters echoed in the whole place. They kept shooting until they emptied all of their magazines. But right after that, they’re eyes grew big as Jake was still standing, smiling at the man in front of him and all of the bullets just stopped before hitting his body.“Is that it?” Jake smirked. “Is that all you got?The bullets around him dropped one by one, making a sound similar to a wind chime being blown by a strong wind. “W-What are you?!” the man asked with heavy breathing and watery eyes. He still couldn’t move even his fingers.“I told you. I am the one sent by Mr. Drummond,” Jake answered. Then he moved his index finger, and the man's arm, which was holding the gun, moved on its own and dropped the gun on the floor.“Nice to meet you, David.”“H-How did you know my name?”Jake smiled as he looked at the man in the eyes. “I heard Anthony call you that name in your memory.”“You’re not human. What are you?!”“You’ll not believe me even if

That day concluded with Jake learning everything about his father and the Smithsons Pharmaceutical Company. He found that his father had a deal with the Smithsons to smuggle pharmaceuticals and formulae from other countries. However, Anthony Smith betrayed them after the deal was exposed to the public. His father, on the other hand, made it through the tough situation and took all of the revenue. Right after that, Anthony's father died of heart failure. And, for sure, Anthony Smith would not stop until he gets revenge for his father's death.But it was the sigils he saw before David died that bothered him the most. Because even in Eldramoria, only very few mages can wield that kind of magic.After making sure that his sister was okay, he went home and had a very good sleep. He suddenly felt drained and he didn’t even notice that he slept for almost the whole day. And it was already dark again when he woke up. Jake stretched his arms upward while yawning. “My magic energy is still no
