Road Through Damnation

Chapter 6

Realization 2

Drew was a bit annoyed when he became a catalyst for constant fights between Anna and Raven. Drew realized that both these women really hated themselves to the core despite being so alike. The constant fight and quarrels made his headache a lot.

Even though Drew was now more than a week old he felt he was stronger than the average baby. He guessed it had to do with genetics and in fact mana.

He could not see it per say but he felt it. It was like the wind, you cannot see it, but you can feel it. He knew he had 10 mana stats in his body, but he could not control it, he guessed he could do it as he grew older.

After a week Drew finally accepted his faith, he knew he would not be going back to earth, it hurt him though, but he accepted his current predicament. He knew, he had to adapt to a life without Television, Games, Spicy food and women.

He was bored as fuck; his mother would always leave him in the cradle and address to him if she senses his discomfort. Drew would just stare at the ceiling in his room and reminisce about his past life over and over again.

He knew he had died and gotten a second chance, but he was not grateful as before. One might think he was being selfish, but he did not care. How others viewed him had always been something he did not care about.

Drew always knew that whatever you do in this life, no matter good or bad someone would hate it. A good example is a President, King, or any person in power. He learnt this philosophy when he was just in SHS. And that philosophy of his made him reach great heights in his previous life.

It was that philosophy that helped an African like him achieve great deeds in the world of crime.

And that philosophy was going to help him here too. Drew had managed to bring the skill proficiency rate of his gravity control to 22% due to the simulation of the skill in his head.

But the skill got stuck at 22% due to obvious reasons and one of them was his current state. He knew he had to practice all the theories he had made up in his mind to increase the proficiency of the skill. But sadly, he could not do such deeds in his frail body.

 For a moment there he felt he was back to when he was struggling to build a criminal empire and back in the African school curriculum where theory rules.

Drew had gotten so bored now, he began singing children rhythms and sang some popular children series songs like Sponge BoB, Dora and a whole lot. This showed the level of boredom he was going through.

Anna soon realized Drew sullen mood, so she decided to surprise him today. She decided to have a short spar with Raven in front of Drew to at least elevate his mood.

Raven agreed to the spar instantly when she got to know the reason behind the spar.

Raven also wanted to make Anna look like shit in front of Drew and look like a competent mother in front of him, so she was hyped and ready for the battle.

Anna removed Drew from his baby prison and sent him to an open space in the house. She placed Drew on a soft comfy couch surrounded by pillows and gave him a wooden doll she crafted for him.

But before Anna moved to that open space in the room, she conjured a butterfly made with fire. Anna was extremely pleased when she saw Drew looking at the butterfly in awe. She kissed Drew on the forehead and prayed in her heart for Drew to grow strong and powerful.

“Bitch are you ready now?” Raven asked Anna when she felt her circulating her mana within her body.

“Raven how many times must I tell you to behave properly in front of the baby. Do you want me to spank you into oblivion before you learn sense.” Anna said glancing at Raven sheepishly.

“YOU BITCCHHHH.” Raven said angrily as she charged into Anna furiously.

“Ah, and I thought you learnt sense from our last encounter.” Anna shakes her head deeply and just side-stepped Raven.

After executing that move, she grabbed Raven by the hair and slammed her to the ground.

“Drew remember this always cheat when you see that you cannot win the fair way. It is normally to cheat your opponent especially when you are fighting for your life.” Anna spoke these words of wisdom to Drew and tried to stamp Raven but Raven knowing herself better just rolled out of the way and propelled her body upwards.

“Bitch what the fuck are you teaching him, you never change do you. And everyone thinks I am the nasty one. Indeed, your origins define who you are.” Raven said with a smirk and charged straight at Anna, this time she stopped few inches away from Anna and gave her a round house kick.

Anna seeing this move, she ducked downwards and grabbed Raven by her leg in mid air and slammed her into the ground. She then followed the move with a flying elbow into Raven’s chest.

“AAcckkkk.” Raven screamed in pain as the elbow of Anna landed on her chest. With that Anna knew she had won Raven and began to jump up and down like a kid given a lollipop.

“Looks like I win again.” Anna laughed heartily as she looked at Raven’s fallen body. She made firecrackers with her ability and looked at Drew who was smiling sheepishly.

Anna knew she was able to make her son finally smile, so she decided to always spar with Raven every day in front of Drew to help him elevate the boredom.

“It seems this world would not be as boring as thought.” Drew said to himself as he anticipated future events with his mothers.
