Helplessness!

That was what I was wallowing in. I was so furious with myself that I could barely concentrate.

It's been weeks since I was stuck inside my bedroom. I refused to see my mom, who had been my support.

She has catered to me ever since I got back home, but everything changed the moment she asked who blinded me.

It all felt like yesterday. "Do you see him?" I asked with a shaky voice.

"Are you sure?"

Martha's voice cracked when I showed her the picture.

"I am sure,

    I was never good with goodbyes. I was in pain. I never gave Martha a chance to fully explain herself all this while. A part of me had been too hard on her. Tears welled on my face as I stared at the lifeless corpse of my mother. She was looking whitish, and the color of life was drained from her face. A hand fell on my shoulders. "We are going to avenge her, brother. We are going to make that bastard pay for what he has done, but first you don't have to carry the burden alone. We are here to support you." My gaze shifted drastically. "Support me? You are nothing but a hinderance. I don't think I would want to risk the lives of you lots. It is time I settle this with Zack once and for all." Alex walked towards us. "That is the system talking, Jason," he said with a calm face. "I might have not known you for a long while, but I could tell that you are not evil. You have a soft heart, and that is why you will never become like Zack." Alex saidI shifted again. "Don't you think th

    I stared at the blinking message floating in front of my mind, the words etched in blood-red letters that seemed to pulse with the rhythm of my broken heart. [ Press yes/no to awakening the evil system ]Every nerve in my body screamed, every instinct begged me to say no. To reject it. But my fists shook, trembling with more than grief. They trembled with fury. With rage that clawed at my chest like a living thing.No. I would not stay weak. I would not let Zack’s legacy claim me without a fight.I gritted my teeth, fingers hovering over the translucent red YES button. The memories of my father’s warnings, of his sacrifices, of the quiet resilience he had instilled in me, surged into my consciousness. He had made me strong—but he had never made me cruel. That strength was mine to wield. I could fight back, but at what cost?I pressed YES.Immediately, the world went silent. A wave of energy surged through me, a cold, electric hum that resonated through every fiber of my being. Pai

    Martha’s blood kept spreading across the cold floor like a dark red shadow.The smell of it filled the silent building.My fists tightened. Martha might have not been the mother of her year but she was still the woman who birth me into the fucked world.Every instinct inside me screamed to attack Zack, to tear that smug look off his face. But the red laser dancing on my mother’s forehead reminded me that one wrong move would end her life.I forced my breathing to slow.“Good,” Zack said with a satisfied smile. “You’re finally thinking like a rational man.”His fingers tapped lightly on the table. I don't know if it was his system but I felt like he could anticipate and calculate my moves even right before I could hatch my next plan. “Do you know why I like you, Jason?” he continued casually. “You’re smart. Not like the others who tried to fight me blindly.”I simply said nothing but kept a fixed gaze on him even though I needed to act fast if I was going to save my mother.My eyes k

    The moment he stepped into the building, my gaze went back to my mother. " Did you do this? Did you think I won't know?" I said with vermin in my voice. Martha fell to her knees before me, " You have to trust me,son. I didn't..I didn't do this." she said with tears. Zack laughed as his gentle step got closer. " No, Jason. You mother was quite easy to decieve." he stopped right in front of us and smirked. " Why are you here, Zack?" I slammed my fist against the table in front of me. " Calm down son." " I am not your son!" Zack stood still for a while, his eyebrows arched for a bit. " You have his eyes you know. The same arrogance he had. That was the annoying part about him." I looked at Martha, " You should have seen this. You should have known that he was going to come tracing you." I snapped at Martha again. " I am sorry, Jason. I should have been careful." Martha said getting to her feet. " Ah, don't be, Martha. Your coming today is going to save

    Rossa’s words stayed in my head long after the call ended.You did well.Did I?I dropped the phone on the table and ran my hand through my hair. My chest felt tight. Hearing her say Zack killed my real father changed everything.If that was true, then my whole life had been built on a lie.“When do you want to meet her?” Rossa asked calmly.“Tonight,” I replied without thinking.His eyebrows shot up. “That fast?”“Yes. If Zack already knows I’m moving against him, then waiting will only give him more time.”Rossa nodded slowly. “Where?”I thought for a moment. It had to be a place open enough so we could see danger coming. But not too crowded.“The old warehouse near the river,” I finally said. “No one uses it anymore. You can position yourself around without her noticing.”Rossa gave a small smile. “Now you are thinking like a leader.”I didn’t feel like one.I felt like a son who needed to give her mother the attention she needed. By evening, the sky was dark and heavy with clouds

    " Who is that?" Rossa asked immediately I dropped the call. " My mother." I said staring at the metallic object in my hand. Rossa squeezed his face. " And what does she want?" The air felt tense the moment he asked. " She wants to see me. That was all she said." I replied absent mindedly. " Just that?" Rossa's face changed colour. " How am I supposed to know? We haven't talked in a lot while. she called me now and said it was of great importance." " You can always turn her down, Jason. You have been doing fine all this while." Rossa replied I sigh. He was right. I had managed to do things on my own ever since she told me Zack was my father. I was not sure why she said it or if what she said was true. I knew Zack was not my father. He can never be. " She is my mother, Rossa. I know that we have our difference but I can't just turn her down." I said with my brows squeezed. " You are right but what if this was a trap? She married Zack, Jason. Don't you forg
