Chapter 2: Strange ancient woman

Chapter 2

Crimson felt mislay, although the family hall isn't far away from his house still it hurt the young teenager's ego to trek while all the kids take a ride.

With no choice at hand, Crimson took a stroll, the family has over 6 branches all over the federation and this is the family's main branch where only the main families are allowed to live.

It's built in both modern and ancient ways.

Most of the houses are built with blocks but the family uses well water instead of tap water, the first family head said, it's for the family's good, but to train water elementals mage the family must switch to using well.

Crimson was so lost in thought that he wandered into a small forest, although it wasn't filled with deathly animals as it was just a normal forest the family head made to keep the ecosystem normal.

"Do you want strength?" Crimson was shocked, { has the devil finally come to tempt me?} He cautiously looks around trying to pinpoint the location of the voice.

He saw a lean lady with rag clothes sitting there, her face couldn't be seen as the old sunhat she wore covered half her face casting only a mysterious shadow on her half-exposed face, plus there was no light which made the situation scarier.

"No thanks.." Crimson answered her as he quickly increase his pace { Damn it, how did I end up in the forest? I thought I was taking the main road, also how can a beggar be inside the family estate?} Crimson thought as he looked back but couldn't catch a sign of the old woman.

"Young one, do you want to be powerful ?" Crimson felt fear for the first time today as he saw the old woman walking out of a tree right in front of him, {AWAKENER!!! And she must be in the advanced realm to be able to pull such a trick.}

With such thoughts in mind, Crimson tried to run but couldn't even make his body bulge, it was like he wasn't the one controlling his body anymore as he stood still while the old woman strolled over to him at a leisurely pace.

" Young man, do you need power ?" For the third time, she asked him, Crimson was scared, thinking if he didn't give her a satisfactory answer she might even end his poor little life right there so he hastily nodded his head in agreement, seeing this the old woman smiled, but her smile looks grim to Crimson.

"This is gonna hurt a little, young man so hold tight and receive the world's ultima power," She said as she lifted her bony finger and pointed it at his forehead and then mumbled some words in an unknown language, a strange purple light start gathering around her finger.

The purple light at the beginning wasn't bright but as time passed it kept getting brighter and brighter to the point it was able to illuminate 10 meters around the both of them.

" #$$# $@$#$ €#$ “ She chanted in a mysterious language and then the purple light flew out with a super speed right to the confused Crimson Who didn't even understand what was going on, as soon as it enters his forehead, his iris change colour from the normal brown iris to a dark purple one, then to dark red.

While his iris underwent colour mutation a shocking change was taking place in his body, his cells kept getting destroyed and rebuilt by a mysterious force, even his organs were strengthened and at the same time, the colour of his blood also underwent a huge transformation and his bones even crack and start breaking down.

"Aarrrrg!!!" Out of pain Crimson fainted midway through the evolution and lost consciousness, the pain was too much for a mere 15-year-old kid to bear talkless of one who hasn't experienced any tough life yet.

"Sign, he seems too weak to handle the full power of order and he is the only one who can hold the power'' the old woman hesitates at first but then mumbles "It seems the only way is to activate the little bloodline of order in him is by igniting the azure flame, I don't wanna use this ordering system as it's my family heirloom but it seems I have to make a sacrifice if I want humans and the world to be safe in the future."

The ring she wore started glowing and then a box appeared in her hand, the box was as small as a palm with intricated designs on its black surface, as soon as the box appeared it seemed the heavens felt its presence as the weather changed, lighting strike even though it was summer while the earth trembles but the woman remain unfazed as she brought the box close to Crimson heart, the box moves on its own as it hops onto Crimson chest and melted, merging with his body.

"Make use of that box well young man, for the future of both humanity and the world rest on your shoulders and you shall carry the burden of society for you are the chosen one."

Although the woman remained unfazed by the phenomenon happening the federation didn't, as they sent out 3 of their top experts to find out what happened immediately, just when the experts detected the place in which the strange phenomenon gathered and rushed there, the woman and Crimson weren't there, it was like they have both disappeared from the surface of the earth.

"Seal this place and interrogate the people who were close by, Josh, can you go and have a look at the CCTV cameras, we might catch a clue of who might be the cause of it" A young lady in a black battle suit who seems to be in her thirties bark out commands to two men who were also in their battle suit, "yes commander!!" The both of them answer in unison as they both go their separate ways to carry out their orders.

While they were busy, the woman didn't stay idle as she strolled around while using her aura to detect the surrounding "Hmm, that's weird how comes there are no particles of a living person here? There is no way a human or any living person be able to not leave a particle even though it's minuscule" the more she looked around the more she got confused.

After ten minutes the both of them came back, Josh was the first to talk "Commander, it seems no one has been here for the past 2 hours and also the people didn't see anyone passing here", The lady nodded and then looked at Van who also gave his report.

"The CCTV cameras over here blank out at a certain time which made half the memories for today's events wipe out, I tried to recover some but couldn't recover more than 0.23%." Van quickly added after seeing the lady frown "But if am given some time I'm sure I can recover more than 50% of the memories commander."

Her face eased up as she nodded "Okay, you will stay in the Walker family and do so, also let the family head cooperate with you and tell him that it's an order from the top brass."

"Yes, commander," Van answered.

*******

While all this was happening, Crimson the cause of it was sleeping on his bed with a peaceful look it was like he never experienced anything today.

If only he was awake he could have seen some strange words hovering right in front of his eyes.

[Ultra power level up system... loading...0.13%....0.14%....0.16%]

[System will have to shutdown till loading is complete]

With that, the hologram disappeared from his face.
