Kane entered a fast-food diner, aware that the two were still following him. He sat at a table in the corner near the door and waited for the two to arrive. Truthfully, he didn’t know how to take the information that was just revealed to him a while ago. They made it seem to be so simple but it would never be that simple.
Two years ago, he waited to be accidentally awakened just like his brothers. He wanted to be an accidental awakener because there was a higher probability for them to awaken an active ability. However, he lost hope when his father finally dragged him to the awakening center and asked for a manual awakening.
For him, it was the most humiliating moment of his life. How could he not feel that way when all his life, he had always been praised for being outstanding in everything he did. Whether it was quiz bee, sports, or martial arts; he always made sure that he would stand at the top—and he always did.
When his eldest brother was accidentally a

It was a dark night and the humid air made Kane’s skin feel sticky. He could feel his heartbeat fast as he was welcomed by a familiar forest. The trees, the almost muddy ground, and the familiar cave gave him the goosebumps.“What am I doing here?” he mumbled as he looked around looking for the people that he was expecting to see in that kind of situation.But he didn’t see anyone. He was all alone inside that familiar place and he could feel his anxiety rising up. He slightly trembled when he heard the familiar sound of footsteps coming from the cave.“Here we go again with the sound of footsteps that only I can hear.”He started to run but the footsteps just grew louder and closer. He ran and ran but the longer he did, the closer the sounds became as if it was chasing after it and soon enough it would reach him. He stopped in front of a dead-e

Kane went to school and he was welcomed by the two on the gates. He sighed but he didn’t ask them to go away since he thought that it would be better for him to be with them so that he could watch over them. It would be bothersome if the unconfirmed assessment result would turn into a rumor.“What’s the time for your classes, guys?” Erin asked as she looked at her wristwatch. “Mine’s nine.”“Ten.”“My class would be eight but since I wasn’t in the mood yet, I’ll just attend my ten o’clock class.”“That’s nice! We should hang out first!” Erin suggested with a smile.Kane felt that what they were planning so he decided that no matter what they choose to do, he would turn and go to the library instead.“Should we go eat before we go to our respective classes?” Xander asked the two.Bingo.“I just ate.” Kane
Languid Kane Chapter 21: Haunted
He could hear the hydra’s growls as it started chasing after him. Why was he in that place again? He could feel his heart beating wildly as he ran. The heavy steps and the humid air.The hard-to-see terrain because of the darkness of the night.He groaned in pain when he tripped from a root. He immediately stood up and tried to run as fast as he could with his limping foot.He checked his ability cool down and let out a sigh of relief when he realized that it was done with it. He was about to activate his ability but the hydra’s foot almost stomped on him. He dodged but he ended up losing balance and rolling on the ground.“Ah!” Once again, he found himself jolting up from his seat. He didn’t even notice that he fell asleep in the middle of the class. “This is getting annoying,” he mumbled.He looked around and noti

“Why didn’t you report this immediately?” James put down the report with an annoyed expression. “I didn’t even know that such a special kid was roaming around the north region!”“Well, Mr. Carter, even if we tell you… we wouldn’t be able to do anything because the man is a member of the Northern Guardian family,” Robin explained politely. He bit his lips when he felt his superior’s glare on him.“And the man also didn’t want the results to be out. He didn’t even believe us,” Amir added. “We made a deal to keep it a secret and in return, he would participate in the research. We could have a ground-breaking discovery because of him!”“Just imagine researching about him and discovering something that could trigger a second awakening. People in the lower class or those who were awakened with passive ability could re-awaken!” Robin exclaimed as he tried
Languid Kane Chapter 23: Cheer Up!
Erin tried to call Xander but he was unavailable. Though she didn’t want the day to end with those two being in a sour mood, Erin had no choice but to let them be. Maybe spending time by themselves would also make them feel somehow better, and it would also give them time to think about things.“Hey, Erin!” Jeffrey called for her when he saw her in front of the DME building. “Where’s Kane and Xander?”“Why are you looking for them from me?” Erin just laughed it off.“Well, you and Xander were inseparable and everyone knew that Kane had been added into your bunch.” Jeffrey smiled. “Knowing Xander, he wouldn’t leave him alone and he would drag you around just to chase after him.”“Well, I guess you’re right about that, Jeff.” Erin smiled awkwardly. “Do you have any idea how to cheer Kane up?”Jeffrey seemed like he wanted to ask more but she sh
Languid Kane Chapter 24: Cheer Up! II
It was a day off for Kane and he already planned to spend the rest of his day lazing around his place. He planned to do nothing but sleep, read, eat, sleep, then eat again, and sleep some more. He was so excited to spend the day as he planned, but his excitement immediately faded when he heard the loud knocks on his door.“Who could be the one bothering me during my precious day off?” he mumbled in an annoyed tone. His strides were big as he walked towards the door and opened it.He just stared at the two who enthusiastically greeted him with wide grins on their faces. How did they even know his address?“What brought you here?” Kane made sure that his door wasn’t wide open and he used his body to block the remaining space.“Why are you just standing there?” Xander grinned as he held Kane’s shoulder. “Let us in, my friend.”Kane gave up immediately when the two pushed him towards the house
Languid Kane Chapter 25: Plans
The two were impressed as they watched Kane cook the sinigang for them. Though he didn’t look like it, Kane seemed to be skillful as he went on with the cooking. Erin and Xander couldn’t help but admire him. Just imagine a handsome guy with an elegant presence inside the kitchen holding a ladle and preparing something delicious! Wouldn’t that make him seem like an ideal man? “You don’t expect me to prepare the table for you, right?” Kane said as he took a sip of the soup. “What a bummer.” Xander sighed. “Were guests here, you know?” “Guests?” Kane looked at him with his left brow raised. “You just casually barged into my place and now you call yourself a guest?” Erin laughed when Kane looked so annoyed after he said those words. If he had time to get annoyed, did that mean that they finally cheered him up? It was somehow gratifying to watch Kane act like that. He had always been a bit distant and quiet, but at that moment he wasn’t even trying
Languid Kane Chapter 26: Nuisance
“Hey! Are you ignoring us?” Erin asked with an annoyed tone. They just spent yesterday at Kane’s house so she somehow felt annoyed when Kane ignored them when he entered the campus earlier. They called for him but he didn’t even look in their direction and just continued walking.Kane looked at them with confusion. The two looked at each other and Erin raised her brow when she turned to Kane again.“We even had to wait for your class to end just to make sure that you wouldn’t avoid us!” Erin complained.“Why would I avoid you?” Kane shook his head as he continued to walk. The two just watched him and stayed on where they were so he stopped and turned to them again. “What are you standing there for? Aren’t we going to have lunch?”Xander chuckled as he walked towards Kane and put his arms on his shoulder. “I thought you were ignoring us when we called you earlier.”K
