"If you can survive 30 seconds, you win." Tony reminds."Bring it." Maxus recalled saying as Tony burst forward.The mentor switched his attack hands mid charge, from a fist to a chop as he swung at Maxus who managed to deflect the first shot, quickly stepping back to dodge another, sidestepping again to avoid a third and was about to have an opening for his own counter attack when Tony kicked, forcing Maxus to back off."You can read style changes now. That's an improvement, now try dodging these. Twenty seconds to go."

It's the first holiday of the year.Maxus still hasn't seen her messages despite days passing. Leah knew that he always seemed occupied with something other than focusing on school as well as having emotional trauma from events that took place in his past. Maxus always seemed to unfocused, almost like something big unresolved was constantly haunting him without rest.On top of all that pain and despression, he had no parents around to comfort or teach him. She knew he had an aunty and uncle who were his legal guardians and were financially supporting him as much as they could but even they weren't that well to do and had their own kids to take care of as well.Most girls would not even entertain the idea of talking to such a boy, he seemed so uncommitted to most and even to the girls in class, Maxus was just someone who didn't want to be here. Some of them might find him "cool ", a brooding secretive guy who talks rarely but yet, that was never how Leah perceived him.She could feel t

Trust.A firm belief for someone or something.Maxus remembered being in the exact same spot he was in two years ago. His father's funeral just finishing the day before. Maxus was a newly made orphan without any parents in his life to provide him the love and basic needs of life.The scene was clear as day in his head. That day had an unforgiving weather, pouring heavily outside the cozy comfort of the temple and flooding several streets around them. The temperature was borderline freezing, Maxus remembered shaking profusely to the cold but at that moment, it was the least of his concerns.He remembered feeling like he was sinking endlessly.A pit of pure emptiness was awaiting him. He didn't know what was going to happen to him, he didn't know if there was anything that could allow him to keep even the house he was staying in, the last place in the world that connected him to his parents, something he deeply wished would never be taken away

The Blood Lion. I trust this role to you.Why Dad? Why is the Blood Lion neccessary to keep Singapore alive? Kenneth remembered asking his dying father this question, the day he made up his mind permenantly. "There will always be crime, there will always be corruption in every single country. No matter how hard you try, no matter how many good men you may have...crime and corruption will ALWAYS exist. So why not allow them and keep them to a minimum?"The role of the Blood Lion, allowing crimes and and illegal activites to take place in Singapore, happening everywhere but completely hidden from the outside world as well as it's own citizens, to give them the illusion of peace and a safe nation.

Sometimes...it just feels like the world itself hates me.The weather matched Maxus' mood. The heavy rain, the dark sky, even things like the eerily silent environment and coldness of the atmosphere, everything seemed to reflect how he was feeling. The teenager reached his home as the Soultaker, drenched completely and began undressing, removing the pieces of clothing and armor on his body."Why..." Maxus muttered, collapsing onto his couch in defeat.He didn't want to feel anything anymore. Yet again, because of him...someone else he didn't want to die was now gone. Ding.Maxus reluctantly dragged his phone out of his pocket, looking at the notifications on the screen. Usually, he would he on cloud nine, messages from Leah asking if she could visit. He didn't want to throw his problems onto her again...she really doesn't deserve any of this.Maxus set his phone down, closing his eyes and leaning back into his couch, trying his best to clear his head, too exhausted physically and emo
