The World Before Darkness[Unedited]

Chapter 5 - Who are you?

Night descends. 

Inside a bar with wide as 30 people laying with light glowing on the top.

A guy on the left side is drinking angrily as he didn't care about the world anymore.

His table has piled up with an unopened bottle of wines.

"…..why? Why? I've worked hard but it just turned nothingness? I endured the sky raining my body, I endured the hungriness eating my mind yet he didn't accept me?." Inside Lemuel's mind, a figure of Drachenstein appeared as his blood began to boil, "If not for that kid I wouldn't end up like this, he is the one who robbed my spot!" As he clenched his hands of angriness."In the future, future! I will certainly skin your body, torture you day in night ." His face already became distorted as if was in any second would eat a human.

"As for the bowl-headed bastard, he made me look like a fool. To think that I've worked hard just to become his disciple yet? He didn't even glimpse at me?" Remembering it he smashed his hands on the wall of the bar." Just wait in the future you fucking two shit who made my life like this I will definitely make your life hell."

...

..

"Sir, are you going to order snacks." A girl in her teens asked with the average face but has a big treasure chest hidden within his chest.

She saw Lemuel didn't have a snack so he asked.

He turned his head and the anger he accumulated wanted to turn pleasure.

He stretch out his left hand towards the chest of the girl.

But before it could touch the girl whack his hands.

He became angry of what she did as he stand up and hold the girl's shoulders.

He started to lick the girl's neck and chest.

"Sir... Sir! don't do this." The girl Scaredly spoke. 

"Shut up!!" As he slapped the girl's face.

When the girl fell on the ground he then ruthlessly removed the clothes. As he also removed his undergarments.

"Sir, please don't do this, sir,! Sir!" The girl already cried as countless tears flowed out of his eyes.

Seeing the crying figure he regained his self as he saw his sister figure on the girl crying on the ground.

He remembered how his sister, sickly body, remembered the time they were playing, remembered the time his sister was still lively.

He then put his undergarments back and said to the girl on the ground crying, "I'm sorry." He fixes his clothes and goes to leave.

But when he turned his head a punch welcomed him as he flew upon the wall of the bar.

He then sweeps the blood going outside on his nose and mouth.

He moved his head to look who dares to punch him.

He saw was a bald tall, wide bulky, body with thin armored on his upper body.

"Do you think you're unbeatable just because you are a self-proclaimed genius? The big guy angrily said, "I am a guard, and this is my rule to protect inside this bar. Do you think I would look a blind eye to it? Huh, self-proclaimed genius kid?"

He then stand up while speaking, "Do you think a mere Bronze body level 3 could stop me? He moved his left hand and raised, fixated his gaze on it.

When the bulky person saw his uninterested face he then grasped the chance to punch again as his fist glowed with rusty faint silver.

Seeing it he just looked and moved his head to the left to evade.

The people inside suddenly showed a surprised face when his hand glow a blue transparent luster.

He then formed it like a knife and fastly slice the not retracted fist on top of his shoulder.

"Urrrrreegh..." Painful voice of the bald.

The people inside the bar didn't care about the situation even earlier when he tried to ra*ed the girls because they were scared of losing their lowly lives but when they saw Lemuel use 'Aura Mana' they seem like suddenly found their direction.

The scared vintner hidden inside his store heard the calm atmosphere. Hence he then goes up as he also showed a surprised face.

Because according to gossip and rumors that if One's could master Aura Mana has a bright future.

So what if a mortal can learn 'Aura Mana'? It means he certainly has a clear bright future… 

.. 

 ..

The bald face already showed a being in pain faced, his right hand got sliced in half. He didn't expect the rumors to be true and the girl from earlier was scaredly hidden behind his back.

Lemuel then smack the money on the table for the wine he drank as the unopened wine tremored in a second on the table.

Lemuel then picked up his sword on the side standing and left.

While walking outside, suddenly a middle-aged man appeared.

"This named, Ghura if possible this lowly is willing to follow you towards your glory."

Before the guy could kneel, he slapped its face.

"Glory your ass."He then walked outside left the persons inside flabbergasted. They thought he would accept but to think that he didn't even glimpse on them.

"We also have experienced sir." They said after he left.

And the middle-aged immediately stand up embarrassingly to avoid being a laughingstock.

… 

.. 

..

The world outside already night as a bat flying on every side of the street. While walking Lemuel thought, "I should raise my strength for my sister to find a cure and let him live a happy life." His eye was full of determination, like going to trample every mountain just for his sister.

He already walked more than 30 steps.

In few meters away from him, he saw a person, covered face with the wide long side of the hat. He didn't care because there are many here who appeared and sometimes he would even see a guy wearing scarily masked.

The person with the hat walked on him and opened his mouth.

"Sir, I have Magic techniques here for only 30 silvers coins if you want I can give you a discount."

"What you're selling in the nighttime? Are you not afraid some would covet your magic techniques?"

He said, "But I still have time, let me look at it first."

Then the hat person handed the 7 magic techniques inside a manual book.

After a few seconds, he complains, "What the fuck is the context here? Are you messing with me?" He saw in the books was no sense drawing and even saw a p*nes drawn. So how can he accept this? being treated like a fool.

Suddenly he found there was something wrong with his boy. As he looked down his eyes towards his chest.

He saw a knife for cooking pierced through his stomach.

When he gazed back at the person who wore a hat, he saw was grinned like a devil playing mortal lives like nothing, after that he immediately knew who he was.

His breath became heavy as every strength of his slowly disappeared. He feels like his world is getting disintegrated.

His body slowly fell on the ground as his blood slowly formed a shape on the ground.

 ','….Mah sister." He can't speak anymore as his body loses oxygen every second pass.

His eye right now was full of determination that he wants to live not to die.

He pushed his left hand to go up but still, he can't because death is arriving and all strength of his body was already disappeared.

"Yu flower Drach's."Eventually, he died with a face full of hate and regrets as tears flowed from his eyes. In his last breath, he saw his sister figure smiling at him, as he said heavily with a faint voice could be heard, "em sor sis."

Seeing it the hat person arches his body and his white hands touched Lemuel's eyes as he closed them.

The hat person moved his left hand as he pick up the hat he wore and he put it on Lemuel's face.

"You have the rare determination that is hard to come by. If you have not appeared you would likely become a great character in the future but it's such a pity heavens want you dead, hahaha." He left with grinned appeared on his face.

While walking away he looked up at the glittering stars in the sky and spoke, "I'm a cautious person who doesn't want a strong foe in the future. Hence, when I saw the hatred in your eyes I don't have a choice either, because I don't want someone interfering with my path or in my plan in the future. But don't worry when I achieved my dream I will certainly grant you a happy life. I already ended countless lives, there's no going back anymore. Only by achieving my dream, only I can atone for my sins and even save my mom."

"In this life, I will certainly strive endlessly to get stronger even if the world was on the line." The last word he spoke before he disappeared on the horizon of night.
