Chapter three: obtaining the system.

It was during the closing hours, Xin who had managed to reach his final years was busy walking down the school corridor. 

"Crazy Orphan!" A boy shouted as he walked past Xin. He had a spiky green hair which looks rough and unbefitting for the shape of his oval head. He was walking past Xin but not without pushing him off to the side.

Xin was angered by this but he carried on walking down the school corridor. He didn't know why they are calling him an orphan when his parents were still alive. It's just because his parents where faraway on a special mission. He still held onto what his mother said that he shouldn't have any revenge yet. But with how these kid humans were acting to him, his anxiety to have revenge had not just increased but he now have everyone as his enemy. Both the young and old. Humans will be humans.

He was bullied everyday by almost everyone in the school but they all knew he won't just let it slide without retaliating back.

Xin stopped midway with his fist clenched hard. And like a lightning bolt, he dashed at the boy in front of him hitting him as hard as he could. That was the best punch he could ever produce due to how weak he was. But he knew his opponent would feel the anger that triggered his punch.

*SMACK!!* 

As soon as Xin punched the guy, he started running, trying his best to escape before being caught by him. But he definitely was so slow. The boy howled in pain as he clenched his fist and started running towards Xin.

"You weak brat! How dare you lay those weak hands on me?"

The boy then placed both of his hands together and a green ball of light started to form. When he was in a few meters away from Xin, the boy threw his hands forward and the green beam of light shot out from the palm of his hands. The beam of light then started shifting into a green thorny ball as it head towards Xin.

Xin had nowhere to hide in and the green thorny ball was too fast for him to dodge. Xin had no more option but to bear the stinging pain from the green thorny ball. The green thorny ball hit his body and his body was lifted into the air as he was sent flying backwards into a classroom. Shattering the window glass as he landed.

"What in the name is happening? Did a beast managed to enter the school?" some students wondered as they saw the shattered window glass.

"I think two students are fighting." Another who had witness the whole situation replied.

 "Who and Who?"

"Who else would it be if it's not that weak school prince you all used to cherish."

The students then made their way out of the area after hearing that Xin was the one in trouble. No one really cared about him unlike when he was still living with his parents. 

Xin swore within himself to have revenge on every one of them. If not for the weak human body that he have, he would have smashed the skulls of every of those students. But then, he remembered who had caused the whole problem. That was the witch who had tortured and transformed his former human body to a Mighty Vampire body. Although he appreciated the fact that she turned him into something strong, he still have to fight her for making him turn back to a human. Nut just a human but a weak one at that.

After some seconds, Xin stood up as he checked his watch and saw that it was exactly quarter past three in the afternoon. Mrs Brenton would question him again why he was late but he could come up with a good lie just to avoid the punishment of doing the chores of a thirty thousand home. Ever since his parents had left him at the age of twelve, Xin has been living with his mother's so called best friend named Stella Brenton. A woman whose husband is an head General who rarely comes home and had three crazy children as Xin would call them. Two boys and a female. Two of the children are twins of opposite genders and their names are; Butch and Megan. While the youngest of them all is named Gabby.

The school clock ticked twice once it was quarter past three and Xin couldn't help but grit his teeth together in anger.

"Damn it. I'll be late again... If not for that psycho green monster that crossed my path, I would have been in that wretched house by now."

It was the last day of school for Xin after going through the hardships the students had caused for him. He was more than joyous when he discovered that today will be their last day in high school. Every day of enduring the bullies and harassment of each students will miraculously be ending today. Right, Xin was tired of them all, if not for the state he's in, he would have cleared them all in a minute. 

Xin could say he had no friends and the toad in the pond would confirm that he's right. Even the birds in the sky would sing a song of Xin being Antisocial to everyone. 

Actually, it's not that he want to be so Antisocial to the extent of not saying Hi to someone. But due to the way everyone treated him badly, he didn't feel like he could find any good friends among them. Well, Xin is a brilliant student and many students envied his smartness. That is also among the reason why the students are bullying him.

While he made his way outside the school, he could see different groups of students hugging each other as that will be the last time seeing each other. He also saw some signing out on their uniforms. But Xin just face the road as he was uninterested in all what they're doing. 

"I've marked each of your faces, I'll do my best to punish you when I get stronger." Xin said.

When he finally arrived home, Xin entered the living room and saw that no one was around and that was a first. He knew always that Mrs Brenton would have been waiting for him to arrive home but today, she is not in the living room to see whether he came late or not.

Out of curiosity, Xin went towards Mrs Brenton's room and from the little open space that allows someone to peep in through a door, Xin could see that Mrs Brenton was with a suitcase. A suitcase that looks exactly like the one that was last given to Xin's parent.

Mrs Brenton opened the suitcase and she brought out a book out of it. The cover of the book was thick and it is black in colour.

Mrs Brenton tried to open the book but it was all impossible. The book were stiff as if it were made of brick or wood.  She tried so many times to open the book but it just won't open. While Xin was watching all this, he immediately tripped over the door and it opened, causing Mrs Brenton to jump up in fear.

"What the hell! Xin what are you doing in my room. What If I had been naked, Is that how you'll barge into my room." 

"I didn't barge inside your room, I just happened to trip over the..." 

"Just get out of here!" Mrs Brenton shouted and Xin exited her room shutting the door behind.

A few moments later, Stella, Mrs Brenton knocked on Xin's door. As Xin opened the door, he saw her holding the suit case in her hands.

"Here, this is something your parents left behind before kicking the bucket. I'm sorry." Stella said.

' Did I just hear her say that my parents are dead?' Xin was dumbfounded, unable to say anything else. The only parent and human that he ever loved ever since getting his second human body was now dead. The main reason he's not having his revenge on humans was because of his parents. They had begged him to not get angry at humans. It seems like they knew he wasn't ordinary. To be truth, Xin's parent received a prophecy which indicated that Xin is a special being who could destroy and build up the World. It all depends on what he chooses.

While Stella was still at Xin's door, her children, the twins had came inside Xin's room to see what is happening.

"Mum, what's wrong?" Megan asked.

"Oh. Xin's parent were involved in a critical accident and unfortunately they couldn't make it."

"Owww, sorry!" The twins said at once, and it was making Xin wonder if they really meant it, cause they are the type that loves faking everything about themselves, making it hard for him to know their true intentions.

"You two should console him why I prepare something for you all." Mrs Brenton said as she smirked at her twins who instantly smirked back at her. 

 The twins sat beside him as they pretended to be sorry for him. "Poor Xin. Now you're gonna be alone with us forever." Megan said.

"No mummy, no Daddy for you anymore." Butch also replied.

"I can't wait to see how wretched you're gonna be staying with us." Megan said.

"Now that you're no longer in school, you'll be the one to do the laundry and chores."

"I've set a timetable for you. And you must ensure you don't skip any time or use more than the required time for each chores." Megan said handing a paper out to Xin.

Xin had been silent since they were talking, Although his mind is not stable, he could still hear all what the twins were saying. He stared at the paper for long with his mind in another dimension. He actually didn't know when Megan handed out the paper to him but he heard all what they were saying.

"Are you gonna let my hand fall. Take it already!" Megan shouted but Xin was as silent as the graveyard.

"You son of a bitch are doing it on purpose, aren't yah?" Butch said as he punch Xin hard in the stomach, sending him flying off to the side of his bed.

Megan threw away the paper that was in her hands and step forward. "Butch I'm the victim let me take care of him." Megan said and her hands started transforming into an hammer, a sledgehammer to be precise. Megan had a transformation ability so it was how she was able to turn her hand into an hammer. Butch also have the same ability but apart from transformation ability, he is a good and skillful Martial arts disciple. His kicks and punches are stronger than the crushing pestles.

Presently, Xin was still feeling the punch he received from Butch. It was unexpected and fast and his body was so weak to take on such blow as he had already started spitting blood.

She ran towards Xin hitting him on the hand with her hammer hand. Xin's hands didn't suffer much but were hurt a little. It was due to the quick withdrawal of his hands that he was able to escape the hit of the hammer narrowly. But there's still a gush of blood rushing out of his fingers.

"Megan! Butch! what are you guys doing?" Stella said as she opened the door, ignoring Xin that was seated on the floor with bloods on his hands and mouth. The trio exited Xin's room but Xin could hear them saying they are happy his parents were dead. Now his hunger to have revenge had grown a lot.

The suitcase was in front of him and he was wondering if the book was still in the case_ The book he saw in Stella's hand that didn't opened up a while ago.

He need to confirm if really the book can't open up. The book looks a lot like an ability book and his gut was telling him that he could be stronger if he touch that book. 

Ability books are the books that were recommended to humans to use to grow stronger inorder for the person to be able to defend himself in the war that is going on.

What war us going on?

It is a war between Aliens and Humans in the human world. Even though a peace (No War) contract had been signed with the Alien race and it had lasted for three years now yet there are signs of the aliens planning to rise again and humans are preparing for another war with the aliens. But this time, the war will be a difficult one for the people and also for the Aliens.

Twenty years ago, the human race received a threat visit from the so-called aliens. Their appearance were nothing like human only their manly shape could be said to be in resemblance to how humans would stand. They were tall than most humans, about seven feets tall in height.

The aliens immediately demanded that the Human race hand over their resources as they planned to use all humans as slaves. Of course, the humans won't agree to their request and they had decided to fight back but they quickly found out that their modern technology and weapons were useless against them. Bullets couldn't penetrate their skin and as for tanks, well the aliens have space ships. And that had made a lot of humans to back off from fighting them. Because they knew that fighting them was practically useless.

That was when humans from the future, year 2045 had came to the present year, year 2025 to discuss what was happening in the future. These future folks explained that nearly all humans in the world had gone extinct due to the non-stop war against the aliens. They explained further that if no action was taken now, humans would have no hope to live anymore. 

"These Aliens reproduces more faster than humans. In two months, a single aliens could give birth to sixty two baby aliens at once. And Aliens grows at a very rapid speed. A month old alien is twice stronger than any popular wrestler. They have spikes that could be used in attacking and the speed of the spikes is faster than the speed of a bullet. That's why we all need to fight, both young and old, male and female." A scientist from the future announced.

Every man and woman was told to fight for their planet and that included Xin's parents. It was a secret but Xin's parents used to be the world leaders and the only scientist to ever go into the Alien planet and come back alive without any harm. Even though Xin's parent were taking care of Xin, yet, they were still the world leaders. The war went on for years with the two causing the human race to achieve several victories until the two finally kicked the bucket together.

But, when the humans were on the brink of defeat a few years before Xin's parents died, a select few came forward. These people are people from the past, they had special abilities and powers. Many couldn't believe that what they always think to be just stories and myths is true after all. 

All Grandma's and Grandpa's stories all seem to be true after all. All thanks to the future folks who had used their time travel machine to teleport humans from the past to the present. And these past folks were so happy to find themselves in the present time which is future to them. After learning what was going on in the present world, the past folks started sharing their knowledge of how they obtained their powers in hopes of turning the tide in the war and it worked. Even so, the aliens were still strong and a seemingly endless stalemate lead to the no war contract signing three years ago.

Sadly, human greed got the better of humanity and instead of sharing these powers with everyone, the government and wealthy officials decided to keep these abilities for themselves and their families. Only those with lots of money were able to learn the more powerful abilities while everyone else was left with scraps and weak abilities.

Xin then proceeded as he picked up the suitcase. As he tried to open the suitcase, due to the wound he had on his hands, more blood started gushing out of his hands onto the suitcase.

Xin quickly despised the pain he was feeling as he was curious to see the book that is in the suitcase.

He opened up the suitcase and picked the black coloured big book that was in the case. It was a large thick book that weighed about half a kilo. The cover of the book was black in colour, and it had a golden design made of a type of hole, resembling a circular golden ring with angel wings on both sides of the ring

Xin tried to open the book but like always, the book refused to open. 

"Shit! What the hell is this book? Why won't it open." Xin protested.

But, Xin felt like the book was calling to him, he felt like he could open the book, and he had instantly placed his hands in the middle of the golden ring with his bloody hands.

The golden ring around the centre of the black book started to glow red in colour and suddenly the book started to levitate itself into the air. Xin was surprised as he saw this, he had even looked around to see if it was someone's doing but he knew no one in the house have a telekinesis ability. Mrs Brenton have a water ability, while Mr Brenton have an earth ability, Gabby the last child of the house have an Hardening ability. So what could be the reason why this book was floating in the air.

"What the hell is happening, am I seeing illusions?"

The glowing book started to shine brightly as it shook vigorously, until it finally opened up. Words from the book started floating in the air as the pages were being turned at a very fast rate. Xin stared at the floating golden words as if he was being forced to look at it. The words of the book were glowing but Xin was unable to read anything because the words were floating around.

When the book finally turned the last of itspage, All the floating words started making their way to Xin as they entered inside his body. While the book started to turn into golden and shiny mist. And at the same time, Xin's vision was getting blurry. His body felt numb and his eyes slowly closed.

But at the very last minute before he passed out, there was something that he heard.

< Congratulations you have been granted the Blood Evolver System >

It was at that point of time that Xin passed out and his body fell to the ground unconsciously.
