Ascender's Path: ORDEAL OF THE GODS

Chapter 6.

Jacob then broke all of Zander's fingers and tore off all his nails again. Then he signalled to the healer to heal his hand again. This process happened over and, and over, and over, and over again.

Zander thought that he would eventually get used to the pain. But he was sorely mistaken. The pain felt the same every time. Despite that, Zander had no thoughts of giving up.

After Jacob repeated this cycle of torture 20 times, they all suddenly received the same message from their watches.

"It is now 11:30 pm, all students outside their dorms are advised to head there right now. If you are not in your dorm by 12:00 pm, there will be severe punishments."

"Fuck! This your fault you filthy bitch! if you just obediently followed every word I'd say this won't be happening now! Take this!" Jacob shouted as he punched Zander in the face with a great strength.

"Let's go! We're leaving before we got caught by the teachers!" Jacob shouted annoyingly and called out to his gang to leave.

"What are we going to do with that trash, boss?" One of his gang immediately asked while pointing at Zander whose appearance is like a beaten up pulp.

"What else? Leave him alone and let him have all the severe punishments for us." Jacob said while a creep out and distorted smile appeared on his face.

And just like that, they left Zander who's already in the death door state.

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*

"Arghhh!!" Zander let out an agonizing voice of pain while panting heavily.

During all this time, the whole thing he had gone through, Zander would always look at the sky and wonder [Why is this happening to me? Did I do something wrong for the godforsaken have me live like this? Answer me, you cowards.] Zander honestly thought.

But every time without fail, sometimes he already think of giving up his life rather than being harassed, tortured, humiliated and tormented everyday.

However, somehow or somewhere in his heart he couldn't do it and wanted to vent out what he's feeling to someone and do the same thing.

And that's when he realized what he wanted to do.

Live....

Survive....

And get a revenge to all the people who let you live like this and reward them with an endless pain and nightmares they will never forget.

"I.... I WILL GET MY REVENGE TO ALL OF YOU! EVEN IF IT'S A GOD IS IN THE WAY OF STOPPING ME! MARKED MY WORDS AND SOMEDAY...." Zander shouted desperately, screaming like a wild animal who just found his new goal to survive.

All of a sudden while in this state of thoughts, Zander instantaneously felt a strange feeling of danger.

When he looked around him, in the corner of his eyes he suddenly saw a several pairs of beastly eyes appeared behind him.

"HIII!?"

The moment he saw those eyes, Zander felt a chill run down his spine. As he couldn't help but let out a light scream.

Then, the figure of a beast resembling a black mixed with bloody color dog slowly emerged from the darkness of the forest.

There was no doubt about it, it's a monster.

And from what he observed, it seemed like the monsters was already prepared to eat him alive.

[Why? Why is it always me?] Zander horrifically thought while recalling the words he just said a while ago and blamed his own weaknesses for being born weak.
