The Journey Of The Wretched Spring

The Coming Of The Storm

Two years passed, the weather's as beautiful as ever as it cover the ugly truth in this world. Contrary to it's beautiful nature, one will find itself getting swallowed as they leave the beautiful lie.

When you enter the prosperous land of humanity, then you'll know the ugly side of it. People who are gifted with high intellectual, are the one who are responsible for exploiting their own kind.

Taking advantage of everything, leaving nothing but despair. Some people prosper, but the majority faces despair and agony.

The other ugly side of it, is Status. Normally, people with average status are those who worked hard and are determined to live a life they want.

However, some of them despair, the cause of it are the people who have the high status. They exploit, took advantage, and milk the average people's handwork.

Having high status means they will get more privileges than the ones below them. Some abused it, and some share it.

People who are generous enough to share it are rare, some genuinely share it and some wears that mask.

The result of these so called status are poverty, endless debt and some made wealth. This is the truth of the world covered with it's beautiful lies and masks.

I am one of the victims of the people who had high statuses. Killing people because of some insignificant reasons, killing and abusing people without remorse.

The world prospered but it's still the same, the weak will be devoured. The privileged people will continue to move forward, but the majority of the low one will slowly dragged into the deep of the abyss.

Some average people with natural talent crawled outside of the abyss, however. They were kicked back into where they come from.

Ironic, isn't it? In this harsh world, you need tons of money, connections and a good background to succeed. Sure, there's people who managed to succeed without one of these but they are just minority, but the majority? They died helplessly, giving their descendants the problem they cannot solve easily.

Think about it, isn't it pathetic? How helpless the majority of us can't help it but become slave through they called contract?

It's because people are greedy and ambitious, destroying and exploiting the balance they artificially made for their own gain.

Controlling people with the law they have made to favor them. "We will punish the corrupt, the killers, and etc." "we will uphold justice for everyone."

However, justice can only be served if you have money, connection, and a blessed background.

They hide it throughly that the majority of people accept this flawed system hoping that it could help them too.

However, the hope of the majority wasn't what they've expected, instead an invincible collar was tied around their neck.

People don't want the truth as the law they were following was the one who were binding them. They tend to be blind than go against the government.

Some people turned into a psychos, some just adapted to it, some shrunk to the abyss, some succeed, but the majority was helpless.

"Kid, break's done, continue your martial training."

"Just thinking of some stuff."

My training helped me to improved in many aspect. Days passed again, we woke up in a rainy, gloomy day, it's as if the sky was mourning.

Out of nowhere, Kharon appeared.

"Young man, it's time to continue your journey. I'll be taking these two gentleman back into the underworld."

"What? That's rather unexpected! Why would you bring them back when I needed them the most!"

"I gave you enough time, and some gods and goddesses felt it's a bit unfair when they heard of it."

"Kid, we belong to the underworld, however. Remember the things I taught to you, and you can survive this survival of the fittest."

"This muscle head is right, kid. We don't belong to the living world, take care of yourself kid. Until we meet again."

"Hoho— you guys attached to each other rather fast."

"I understand, then. Let's meet when I'm done."

My heart ached, will the people who I cherished will be gone again? This sure is cruel and painful.

I bow down and said to them.

"Thank you for everything until now, I will never forget what you have taught me."

The three of them smiled while waving their hands. One with a face full of pride, one with a face full of joy, and one old man with the face of being entertained.

I should start to prepare for my revenge. I've come a long way, since the start. What I'll face will me much harder than before.

As I was about to turn away, Kharon came back again.

"Hoho— I forgot to give you."

Kharon handed me a scroll as he crackled at my baffled face.

"What's is this now, Kharon?"

"Read it when your revenge is done, it's better to have a goal. So long, young man."

As always, Kharon disappeared without a trace leaving me with so many questions left unresolved.

As day passed by, I always continue to do what I must do. Exercise, hunt, and getting familiar in the darkness. Every afternoon, I practiced martial arts and meditate to help calm my mind.

I've learned many techniques and improved some of my abilities. Suppressing my beastly instinct and my emotion, hearing, walking without a sound, hunting, controlling my breath, martial arts, and my body's flexibility.

I've mastered many different kinds of martial arts, and was praised by Zuan so much for it. It now depends on me how I would use of it and when to use it.

Even these past few years, my goal is the same. It's like I'm obsessed of it. I'm gonna make sure that my training won't be in vain.

I've endured imaginable pain, passed countless trials, and grown much incomparable to myself 3 years ago.

My time is running out, Christian will graduate in a 2 years. I need to make some connections first and gather enough wealth to cover my insidious plans.
