IT ENDS HERE"I see now. Everyone has a story to tell." Black Heart sighed."Very well, locate Jian and Akira, it's time we finish this the right way.""Already did Father." Erik said with a smile."I'm not saying I forgive you for ditching us and going all bloodlust back then, but for Japan, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones." Jian said as he opened the door leading to the roof."What Jian meant to say is that, it's nice to see you again Mr Black Heart." Akira said with an amiable smile."I'm glad you two are not against me. Now, what shall we do about our numbers. We barely have enough men to take down the Triads manor " Black Heart said."I have a few men, they are my closest aides in the Yakuza, and they will storm the manor tonight. During the chaos we will be able to go deep into the manor." Akira said."Splendid! it ends here!" Black Heart exclaimed in Joy.*The streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district were always alive with activity, but tonight they pulsed with tension. The
“Negative. The boy doesn't have any powers.”Sigh!Several sighs filled the room as the people with serious expressions plastered on their faces shook their heads in disappointment.“He is already fifteen years old now, and if he still has not developed any atom of affinity with any element, then I am sure we all know there's no chance it will ever happen as he has passed the age of awakening. I honestly had great expectations from this subject.” one of them said.Sigh!“Such a shame! The kid whose father was the strongest warlock and mother— the strongest sorcerer, happened to be useless? He's not even a variant, let alone being as great as his parents?” A middle-aged man in the group spoke we he looked at the boy lying on the patient table.There was an expression on the man's face that depicted nothing but disappointment.“It looks like we wasted our time with him for nothing. How pathetic!”Three scientists were talking amongst themselves outside the glass room, while inside, a yo
Although Doctor Roach didn't act close to Shawn in the last five years, he didn't openly despise him either as there was a possibility of Shawn developing his powers. His actions towards Shawn seemed only professional till now. He was neither too friendly nor too harsh but only kept an average attitude towards the child. But now Shawn was already fifteen years old and a failure, there was no reason for him to act cordial anymore.Shawn's face paled as he heard the answer from Doctor Roach. It felt like his world came crashing down, and every word of that sentence hit his heart like a bullet.Tears lurked, making his eyes glittery, his vision blurred as he tried to fight back the heartbreak and emotional pain he was feeling. He gritted his teeth and refused to cry out his pain.“But you can still help humanity. So you're not completely useless. Come with us.” Doctor Roach further said in a villainous tone as his eyes shone like a vulture under thick gold-framed glasses.Shawn stood up
Shawn slowly opened his eyes but saw only darkness. He was wrapped in a black zipped body bag which was preventing him from seeing the light. After some initial struggle, he managed to come out of the zip-locking bag.As he came out, he found himself in the middle of a dump yard. There were trash and useless things as far as his eyes could see. There was a rotten odour everywhere, which made him want to puke as he stood up.“I'm... I'm still alive?” he muttered in confusion as he looked at his hands and legs to check if everything was fine. There was no problem that he could see with the naked eye. He tried to move and then tried to walk. He faced no problem. Everything seemed normal.“Did they throw me here because they thought that I was dead?” he guessed as he chose a random direction and started walking. Hundreds of questions gathered inside his head as he moved forward.There was an old wooden table along the way that had a nail sticking out of it. As Shawn wasn't paying attentio
The screen dissolved and Shawn returned to his present moment. He stared at the knife for quite some time before coming to a decision.“Father once said that true healing could make a person immortal, even the cut-off limbs can be healed. Is my healing the same?” He wondered as a crazy idea popped up in his head but he still hesitated.“I already died once. Why should I be scared of losing a limb? Black Heart won't be scared.” he muttered as he decided to go through with his test.He took the knife and cut off one of his fingers. Even though he felt some pain, it was nothing compared to the pain he felt when he died. It felt rather soothing and bearable for him.His severed finger was still lying on the ground but another finger had grown up in its place, which was just like the old one. It only took a minute for it to happen.“This is so amazing,” he commented as his ocean eyes sparkled.“It had to be, for me to still be alive. This should be the reason I'm still living.”«Tsk! Host
Shawn continued walking for over seven hours before he saw the nearest town. His stomach had started growling long ago; now that a town was here, it growled more. It was as if it was telling Shawn to eat.He entered the town. There was still the lab's patient robe on his body which looked even dirtier as if he was a beggar. He tried to look for a place to get something to eat.Seeing a small restaurant after searching for a long time, he decided to enter the place.As soon as he stepped inside the restaurant, he attracted the attention of the waiter.“What do you need, boy? This is not a place for kids to enter. If you don't have money, then scram out of here!” the waiter of the small restaurant told Shawn as he walked towards him.Due to malnutrition and lack of sleep, Shawn looked so scrawny and a bit small, unlike kids his age.“I need food,” Shawn said to the waiter, but the guy refused even to listen.“Can a beggar like you even have money? Scram out before I cut your legs!” the
The ash fell on the ground and covered the floor. If the people here hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the ash lying in Shawn's feet happened to be a young living man until a minute ago.«Havoc point 1 obtained»Ignoring the people, Shawn gazed at his hand as he muttered“Strengthening?”He could feel that his body had more strength than he had before he died. Not only was he able to toss the waiter like he was a toy, but what happened after that also proved the same thing. He realized that his strength was much higher than the man's since he couldn't even feel any resistance from the man.He hadn't tested it before, but now he realized something. This power of strength, wasn't it something his father had before? If so, why wasn't it recorded in his Stats?“Azazel! My stats window.”«Ding!DEMONIC SYSTEMName: Shawn Zach KalebAge: fifteen Race: InhumanStatus: WarlockHavoc points: 2Strength: 250 Speed: 200 Control: 200 Skill: Immortality, A
The ones who hadn't noticed his wounds heal also saw him stand up suddenly. Their laughter was replaced with dread.“Wh.. what? Can he even heal from that? It's impossible!” someone spoke on behalf of everyone as the table turned yet again.Once again, the fear chained the hearts of people as they realized that the man they faced wasn't a normal Variant, but something else entirely. They had never heard of a Variant who could heal himself.Just what was he exactly? How could he heal himself? Was he even a human?Questions piled up inside their minds, making their thoughts go haywire, but they couldn't find any possible answers to satisfy their piqued curiosity.Shawn looked at the man who had fired the shot and began striding towards him.Big Joe was stunned to see Shawn alive and moving as if nothing happened. Before that, he didn't feel scared, but now? He wasn't only feeling scared, he was feeling a chill run down his spine as his feet froze in place. But he was too stubborn to giv
