Einer was furious until he couldn't hear anything in that noisy place. There were only bad words and curses lingering in his head, they pushed Einer to walked towards Amora and pulled her away from Chris, the man he hated most.
"I can't believe you do this to me, Amora," said Einer in anger. Amora was wide-eyed in confusion, until she saw Einer's eyes were full of hatred towards what she was doing."How could you do this to me when I tried to do anything best only for you? You cheated on me... you kissed the person I hate while you know it well!""Don't point your fucking finger at me!" Amora snapped back. She made Einer stunned a second while she walked to grab Chris' arm."Amora, you!""I'm so fucking tired of you, Einer. You broke my mood this morning and you even still ruined my night when I tried to fix my life that you ruined before!""I ruined your life?""Yeah! You're the reason I lost my glory days as Amora Hills, the pretty and popular one! You ruined that with becoming my worst of the worst boyfriend!"“Amora, what are you talking about? What did I do to ruin your day?"“Your existence! And the fact that you are my boyfriend! It's disgusting! I want to turn back time and never know you. Do you know? Even if this was all a joke, I still wouldn't want to date you in the first place!”Einer was at a loss for words because he couldn't believe that Amora could tell him all that.“You're dating me for a joke?” Einer asked.Amora didn't hesitate to answer, “Yes. You think I'd really fall in love with a guy like you? Haha, don't be silly, Einer.” Amora stood in front of Einer who was much taller than her. “Why should I fall in love with a lonely boy who came from Routa? Do you think I want to even just smell the slums of the city where you were born?"Einer's eyes widened quickly, as quick as he approached Amora with one terrifying step until the sound of a glass vase breaking made him stop. As if she knew what Einer was going to do to her, Amora stepped back with a scared eyes. He saw the incredible anger in Einer's eyes, but Chris' sturdy and burly body stood in front of her like a fortress.“Do you want to hit my girlfriend, Einer?”"She is my girlfriend!"“Alright, she's yours,” Chris was very relaxed, smiling arrogantly as he said, “but her body is completely mine. Did you see how she sucked my lips as if she wanted to eat them? It was very sensual and intimate if you didn't come and disturb us.”Punch!“CHRIS!”Amora shocked and panicked, quickly went to Chris to help him up after Einer managed to punch him on the face.The music was stopped, everyone switched their attention from the party to the noise, including Anton and Sam. They were looking at each other in smiles after seeing Einer gripped Chris' collar. Seemed like they were knowing that something funny was about to happen."What are you going to do, cute loser?" Chris asked even though Einer was already on top of him, he didn't feel scared. "Why? Are you incredibly shock until lost your words? Or are you realize that you're not supposed to do this far? I'll give you a chance to regret it, Einer.""I ain't regret nothing.""Wow... where the hell do you get those nerves?""You know what? I always wait for this moment to happen. Now that I can't think straight, but I'm glad. If I regret this later, at least I manage to punch your ugly face!"Einer gave Chris his punches, still holding the collar of that brown haired guy. But Chris was laughed, seemed enjoying it like what Einer did was a joke; like a child's punch."Einer, stop it!" Amora tried to stop, but heard the woman worrying about Chris more than worrying about her, making Einer more irritated.So Einer didn't stop. Fastered his punches while wishing Chris would be sorry but something hit his head so hard and Einer heard the sound of glass breaking.Einer stepped back, knelt down to see his blood dropping down like a drizzle."You... son of a bitch," Einer said, while Anton only gave him a mocking laugh after hit his head with empty wine bottle.Einer tried to still conscious, but Chris stood before him."I was surprised that your punch hurt me. It makes me think that I should respect you, Einer, but I don't want to do it anymore. You know why?" The words were ended before Chris kicked Einer's face so hard to made Einer fell to the ground, and said, "Because it's fucking hurt!"They switched positions, Chris on top of Einer. "Now, feel sorry for your stupidity, Einer the Loser!" Chris showered Einer with his punches, felt full of damage and Einer didn't have time to restrain them."A loser still a loser. Till the end, he still so stupid to make a choice." Anton shouted Einer out, but he and the rest just watched Einer got beaten by Chris like they were enjoying what they saw."Fall in love with the wrong person, be friends with the wrong buddy. What the hell, are you actually living a life this mess? You'd better keep hanging on your mother's womb like a parasite, Einer. At least you follow your mother for a better life," said Sam, hugged his girl to watched Einer."Does he have a mom? He's all alone, isn't he?""You're right. He's an orphan who came to Sancer University with pity but he act like a main character of an urban story. What a pity.""You have to revise your words, Sam; tell him if he lives this mess, he's better die like his mom.""Hey! Play the music! This is a party and we'd better not give a shit to something like this."The people laughed at Einer while he dying and tried to protect himself from Chris' punches. His sight was blurry, covered with his own blood and tears.He slightly looked at Amora who did nothing to help him, like she let Einer to die. But Einer looked back to Chris when the man grabbed his necklace and mocked it."What the hell is this? Where did you get it? A legacy from investor? Or did you steal it?"Oh no! It was the necklace from Einer's mother, the one and only his mother left to him."Give it to me...!" said Einer, heavily."Seems like this is pretty important to you, huh?" Chris kept the necklace away, "but because this is important to you, I would like to ruin this because I like to see you suffer.""No...."Chris moved away, only to slam the necklace on the floor and stomped on it to the pieces."NO!"While Einer cried it out but he had no power to protect the necklace, and all he could do was watching his precious necklace break into pieces like it was also broken all the memories and wishes Einer had.Chris walked back to Einer to yanked him."I don't like to see a rat act like his a lion. Who the fuck that you think you are, Einer?" Chris shouted right at Einer's ear. "You'd better die! People like you only tainted this flawless world! It's gonna be better if the losers were never there! Or you all could be a good compost, so keep be buried under the soil!"One more hard punch and Einer felt like he was about to black out. Between his pains and despair, he saw stack of wine glasses on the buffet. He only thought death, but for a second, he wished he could hold one of the glass and hit Chris' head as hard as he could."Oh... ouh, wait Chris. What you wanna do?" Amora started to scared looking how intens Chris' punch was, but Chris' didn't care. Chris stopped his punch, but he grabbed Einer's neck instead and started to strangled him hard.Meanwhile Einer had no other choice but to faced his death.As Einer started to lose consciousness, he felt a huge desire only for a wine glass. He wished to get one, and his wish got bigger and something started to rise from him.The music was so loud, until the things around started to shaking. But it wasn't something that the loud music do, but something like a huge magnetic from Einer who tried to reach that wine glass.Einer spread his arm as far as he could reach one, but it was so far from him. But suddenly, the wine glass stack was also shaking, and one of them flew up to Einer's grab. Einer didn't want to lose a chance, so he quickly swung the glass to Chris' face to stop him.“AAAAKH!”Chris screamed loudly and made everyone stop to see him curl up in pain, he holding his left face which was injured after Einer hit him with a glass.“Oh my God, call an ambulance! Quickly call 911!”Amora was so panicked when she saw a lot of blood flowing from the deep glass cut, but what was more worrying was Chris' eyes which were also scratched by glass. Chris was busy with his wound and forgot about Einer who was still lying on the floor, coughing after Chris strangled him almost to death.Einer didn't expect his wish would come true. Was it an angel who help him? The glass was two meters away from him, but suddenly it was in Einer's grasp. Did the Grim reaper help Einer fulfill his last wish before dying? So, Einer could close his eyes in smile because he didn't die with regrets.Everything turned pitch black; Einer didn't know what happened after the ambulance came and the party was stopped. No one paid attention to Einer or informed the medical staff if there was an emergency patient in the house. No one cared, until a woman stood in front of Einer's body and stared at him coldly for a seconds."Gotcha."Einer didn't think he could still open his eyes after that torture night, but here he was. He looked around, guessing where he was and realized about that large and luxurious room he was in.Einer was shocked, quickly sitting down only to feel pain in his head."Ouch ... my head," he said, holding his bandaged head. "I remember, Chris and his friends hit me on the head with wine bottle. Am I badly injured?" Einer was still very confused, said nothing for a while. "I must have been seriously injured and I should have even died, but did such a strange thing actually happen? I hit Chris' head with a wine glass and hurt his eye, but how come there was a glass in my hand? I was lying on the floor." Einer thought about what he had done."Was the miracle? Was grim reaper really granted my last wish before I die? But I'm not dead yet!""Stop thinking like a silly." Einer a little bit shocked when someone talked to him; making him turned his head to the sound and saw a woman sat on the cou
Oliver Perceus promised that he would explain anything Einer wanted to know; about Einer's awakening power, or how could Einer be his lost child and his relationship with Einer's mother.But it all was only if Einer had already recovered. While Einer needed to recover his body after that night, he was served like a young master in Perceus mansion.Einer might need to be used to all treatments, as he always woke up with the soft voice of the butler, and saw some maids come in to help Einer with all he needed on his morning."What breakfast do you want for this morning, Sir Einer?" asked Robert, the butler. Einer was just done taking a bath and preparing to go to the campus."Breakfast? Can't I have breakfast from yesterday's menu?" "Of course you can, Sir Einer. You can even have caviar for breakfast every day if you want. I only asked because I thought you would be bored and want a new menu for breakfast." Einer felt a little awkward. A luxury food like caviar was something he could
Einer could see the bad things that would happen to him just by looking at Chris's fist. Every step made him shiver, his body remembering what had happened every time he and Chris interacted. But a second later Einer realized if he no longer had a reason to be afraid, he shouldn't hang his head like a loser. Remember what Oliver said; Einer should be proud, he was a Perceus. "You're done, you damn loser!" With his fear gone, Einer could easily dodge Chris' punch. He stepped aside and made Chris seemed like a joke. Everyone was watching them and Chris, who was holding back his embarrassment, looked at Einer sharply. "What are you doing, loser...?" "Avoiding you. Did you think I'd stay still when you threw your hands at me?" Einer replied, didn't look afraid. But that calm answer made Chris' eyes bulge with anger. "What did you say? How dare you say that?" Chris tried to hit Einer again, but this time Einer was able to hold him back. "It turns out that we're just as strong, but
Einer couldn't drive the car because his head was still a little dizzy, so Garden took his place. During the way home, Garden was so silent that it made Einer think; people who didn't know would think Garden couldn't speak. Einer didn't know how to break this awkward silence, until he saw the small plaster on Garden's forehead. "Lady Garden, I apologize for the wound on your head from that day." Einer had almost forgotten the day he made blood flow down Garden's forehead. Einer thought Garden wouldn't answer, but the woman said, "It doesn't matter, you were just trying to survive." "But aren't you angry?" "I'm used to this kind of thing, and I've had plenty of chances to get it back at you, so don't be shy." Einer swallowed awkwardly, not thinking he would receive such a cold reply but he smiled. "Alright, I'll try to be strong enough to receive your revenge... Garden." Garden glanced at Einer coldly at the man calling her name. "You said not to be shy," if Garden took issue
Oliver led Einer to a place; a part of the Perceus mansion that made Einer marvel at its splendor. "Wow... I didn't think a place like this existed in this mansion," Einer said, following Oliver behind him. Oliver smiled as he guided. "This is the training ground for the awakener in this house. They usually train in that building." Oliver pointed to a large stadium with an elegant futuristic design. "To withstand the great power of the awakener, that building was made with advanced technology and a super strong design. So, don't hold back during training, okay?" Einer smiled faintly, a little shy when Oliver indirectly talked about his strength that Oliver always mentioned as the strongest candidate. Through the glass-walled hallway that allowed Einer to see the vastness of the place where the Perceus awakener were, Einer saw the place he was going to with Oliver. "What is this place?" asked Einer, when the metal door opened after Oliver opened it using his palm scanner. "This is
There were many things that plagued Einer's mind after that day; about his powers, and of course about what Oliver had said. He still couldn't believe it; a mother who loved him so much was the one who tried to take away Einer's power. Einer still couldn't believe, or didn't want to believe that her mother was a bad person who wanted to separate Einer from his father and from the life he was supposed to live. "I forgot to ask about Eleonor," Einer muttered, still in his car and about to head home when he found himself daydreaming for several minutes. Someone knocked on his car's door and made Einer wake up. He saw a panicked-looking Amora Hills, knocking on the glass of Einer's car door a little bit impatiently. Einer opened the glass. "Einer!" Amora greeted him with a loud voice and a sense of impatience, she smiled before pulling it back when she saw Einer who was being cold. Of course Einer would do it. Was Amora shameless to come to Einer while smiling like that after what sh
Einer was quite surprised to see Arthur at the party. He sat up straight and Arthur stood in front of him. "You didn't forget my name, did you?" "Arthur... Grey. Right?" "I'm glad you didn't forget it. May I sit here?" Einer was a little awkward, letting Arthur sit beside him as if they were friends. Honestly seeing Arthur smile at him only made Einer feel uncomfortable, considering they were not friends. "I didn't expect you to be friends with Chelsea Wood," Arthur said, speaking without taking his face away from the party. Einer replied, "I dropped someone off without expecting to be pulled into the party as well." "Oh, is that so... well, it's obvious from your clothes." Arthur looked at Einer, with a faint smile and he said, "Guests who come by invitation will not wear out-of-theme clothes while the theme of the clothes is clearly written in the invitation." Einer held himself back, trying to remain calm as Arthur mocked him so subtly. That soft voice, that sweet smile only
Einer was just silent, not interested in accepting the invitation of those pretty women."I'm fine, I'm just waiting for someone," Einer said, hoping that would be enough of an excuse until one of the women sat on his bench, very close."Well, can I sit here? I might be able to keep you company until the person you're waiting for is back.""Em..." Einer lazily responded. He glanced in another way, uninterested. But the woman was getting closer, and made the other women also approach Einer.What was wrong with them? Einer wondered."I'm Christina, what's your name?""I'm Josephine. Can I have your phone number?""My phone number? What's that for?""Hey, are you interested in becoming an influencer or public figure? I'm Magdalena, I can help you become a famous person."Einer was even more astonished, moving backwards as the women got closer to him."What would I be an influencer for? I'm not interested.""Really? But you have a chance to be so famous." Einer was distracted as Magdalena
Of course Ben would feel humiliated, but he had to try to keep his cool. And his attempt to look calm after something scratched his pride was very pleasing to Einer's eyes, until clearly the man's two cold eyes were laughing at the other person. "Ah... do I look like a butler, sir?" asked Ben then, seemingly trying to break the ice that had become tense due to his own actions. Einer smiled slightly. "No, really...," he replied in a hanging tone, "but because of what you said earlier, I'm reminded of the butler at Chelsea's house-he used to tell me about things in detail-even to the point of mentioning how many numbers are in the price of an item." Ben fell silent again. Einer didn't know what the man was thinking, but he knew that Ben was trying to keep himself calm because of his bold words. Einer admitted, he was indeed a poor man. He lived and lived as he pleased; haphazardly. No schooling, no manners; but to him, that was no reason to let his pride be nudged even a l
Einer frowned slightly, he had never heard of Amora having a friend named Chelsea. "Don't you have a boyfriend?" asked Einer coldly as if it was the sharp edge of a knife. "Ah... Chris is hang out with his friends, and there's no one I can ask for help immediately besides you. You're the only one with a car here." Einer noticed that the parking lot was empty, leaving only his luxury car. "I didn't bring a car because I usually go with Chris, so please... I would be very grateful to you." Einer did not think of helping Amora; he was still very angry for what Amora had done to him. But Einer had another idea. What if Chris found out that the girlfriend he took away from Einer was now coming back to Einer? It would be fun to pit them against each other. Their little fight wouldn't be worth with what Einer had to gain. So Einer unlocked the car and let Amora in. Amora seemed very happy, fastening the seatbelt with vigor. As Amora's request, Einer drove the woman to the address she
Einer was silent, not understanding. "Ah, sorry. I'm so happy that I confused you," Oliver said. "In short, you have the power to mimic other people's powers, Einer. Your power can recognize, absorb and learn the powers of other awakener, just like you did that night." "That night?" "The night when the man named Chris beat you up and you injured him with your power. Do you remember how you did it? You copied Garden's powers."Oliver's explanation sounded fast, the man was excited. But it made Einer even more confused. That night Einer did use a power called telekinesis, he had thought it was a miracle and finally he knew that it was the power of awakening that he had. But now Oliver was saying that telekinesis was not Einer's power? "The power of mimicry, it's a very rare power and has enormous potential. You could be the most powerful awakener, Einer! Your power is extraordinary!" "Will I be able to mimic a power I've never seen before?" asked Einer, making Oliver listen to hi
*** Garden brought Einer home and he was greeted by Robert who was shocked at Einer's appearance. "My goodness, Sir Einer, what happened?" "Calm down, Robert. I didn't crash the car into the garden pond to make me look like this. It's just that there were people who wanted to get acquainted with me earlier." "Were they awakens?" "Yes. One of them is named Arthur Grey." Robert gave the same reaction as Garden. He paused as he was about to take Einer to his room. "Grey? Really?" "Why? You give same reaction as Garden. Who exactly is Arthur Grey?" Robert followed Einer to his room, behind him were several maids ready to assist Einer. "Sir Einer, the Grey family is the biggest rival of the Perceus family." "Oh really? Rivals...?" "Yes. Do you think only the Perceus family has awakens?" "I thought so. I was also quite surprised when they introduced themselves as awakens. I thought awakens lived a very secretive life and hid their abilities from the ge

Garden glanced at Einer coldly at the man calling her name. "You said not to be shy," if Garden took issue
"I hate you so much," Chris replied, "I don't like losers who can't even protect themselves." "Now I can protect myself, so stop this 'The Storng and The Loser' game because I still want to live in peace." "Do you think you can still live in peace after I ruined your life? Amora Hills, isn't that woman very precious to you?" Einer looked at Chris who was again trying to bring him down. "I took her from you, Einer. The woman you love is mine." Einer looked at Amora who was still in place, also looking at Einer with a hint of guilt in her cold eyes. "Forget it, just take her." Einer's words took Chris by surprise, and so did Amora. "I don't want to deal with a woman who dated me to making fun of me, and a woman who doesn't even consider me human so she just stood by while I was almost beaten to death." Amora looked dumbfounded by Einer's sharp words. "Anyway, women like her are not more important than my life right now. I can get 100 women like her if I want because I'm telling yo

Following Oscar's words that night, Einer came to this place. Einer didn't know why Amelia would choose a place like this just to talk about the contract with him, this place he entered even looked more like a hotel than a cafe. Or indeed a hotel. Einer wanted to feel a little relieved, the info Oscar gave him was right. Amelia Grey, Addenhill's leading doctor who became one of the geniuses in the field of San Luximus medicine. She was really a rich person to be able to rent a place like this. Moreover, she served as the interim leader of the Wood family business which was famous as Addenhill's upper nobility. It still felt like a dream that Einer could come to a luxurious palace-like place like this. Upon arrival, Einer was immediately greeted by two men in black suits, complete with ties and simple communication devices attached to their ears. They looked like secret agents, and as he walked with them on his right and left sides, Einer felt more like a suspect in a drug sm
"Protecting?" "Yes, protecting. Because you know Wood is not a noble family that was just born one year ago. During that time they were victorious, during that time the enemy nurtured themselves and multiplied rapidly. I am protecting that child, so that no one hurts the sole heir of the Wood." Einer was not very expressive in his response. He was silent for a moment, then looked away. "It makes sense," he said, still pausing, "but how long will you continue to hide the girl who has even entered adulthood?" Einer asked then. His eyes were piercing, as if he was attacking the other person with his words. Amelia smiled, feeling more and more interested in the conversation between her and Einer - and Einer himself. "Oh Einer, I like you. You can read situations so well, and like I said; I'd love to have someone like you around." Einer did not respond to the compliment Amelia had given him. The man was still calm, waiting for the continuation of the old woman's words before him.
