That continued until i was 14, i was being bullied even in school to the point that i would always go home with blood on my uniforms

And then one day my aunties in my father side came, the couple said that they would take me in, because they don't have a child

I felt a little hope, hope that i would be able to escape this hellish place

So i immediately agreed

I transferred school and came in to their house, their house is your average house, good for a family, not extravagant but not also little

They gave me my own room, bought me clothes and cared for me

I felt happy and glad they took me in, i even wonder if this is what a family feels like. I also thought that maybe, i can pursue my dream, to be someone who knows many things about celestial bodies, how they were created, what and when life started and many more.

But that happiness did'nt last long

After only 2 weeks they started to show their true colors, the little hope i had was thoroughly crushed never to be seen again

They made me work nonstop to provide for them, much like my siblings

They don't have jobs, i thought they have cause they bought me things that time but to think that all of the things they have are actually collateral for their debts

They even threatened me that if i don't help them pay their debts they would sell me and my siblings so they can pay their debts

Not that i care for my siblings as i already turned my back on them few years back when i'm still a kid

And thus my hell of a life begun again

At that time i was then filled with nothing but hatred, hatred for my parents who did nothing but abuse me, hatred for my siblings who watch with glee and even help in making me suffer, hatred for my whole family who made me suffer so much, hatred for the people who can save me but chose not to instead because they don't care and can't be bothered at all, hatred for the unfair damned world and hatred for the so - called gods that loves us.

Keeping all i feel inside me, i worked hard 24/7 to provide for my aunt and my siblings since they are also part of this

Only after i graduated, find a stable income and an apartment to stay in i was able to escape their clutches

I sued them for what they've done to me and they got behind bars although the process is'nt that smooth as they even threaten my siblings to say that i'm the one doing the abuse

But i won and lived my own life at 21

Am i thankful? To whom? To god? To the world? For ending my suffering? No!! Why would i be thankful? I was the one who did it all

I was the one who took action to end my suffering, i can only rely to myself

From then on i started to keeping it all, i work myself off and had an apartment i can stay in though the owner is a little bit not good

I lived the rest of my years with the same monotonous cycle before i was reborn here. Eat, work, read, sleep.

That's why when i got reborn here i was a little bit flustered. I was given a chance

But to crush it again, by these boars nonetheless

For the first time in my life, tears dropped from my eyes

Ah.. yeah i.. never hoped for something anyway..

I learned to stop hoping and just do everything on my own, if i want it then do it, make it happen, never expect and never assume, never ask never demand, that became my mentality

It can't end like this

I did'nt hope i stopped long ago

But that did'nt mean i'll just back down without a fight

"You fudging boar come to me!!" I screamed

The enraged boars specially the biggest one that looks like the chief was enraged and screamed back

"Humaan!! You.Die.now!"

As i tried my best to slowly got up, i can't.

My whole body is a mess, fracture bones all over, i can even see other bones portruding my skin, you can see some had already stuck out, doing my best not to mind the unbearable pain that shot out every time i move

I tried and give my all strength to my legs and tried to get up and atleast i succeed and lean on the tree behind me

"Die. Humaan!" The chief screamed

And at last the boar much to my surprised started to gather, some stones and rocks?!

Haah, to think this world is a fantasy one. I'm really so unlucky

When the stones that have been stuck together got to a size as big as half my body, the chief threw it at me at a speed so fast but not that fast that i can't react to it or see it

But now that my body is in a mess, dodging that boulder would be a miracle

My mind gone into hyperdrive mode and countless scenarios, measures i can think of to dodge that passed in my mind

If these world is a magical one then does that mean i also have magic?

Mana, is an energy said to be responsible to magics and powers in novels, do i also have that?

But my system did'nt show anything like that?

As death loomed and came near, my mind gone to haywire and all i can do is close my eyes and hope that all of this would stop

A ticking - clock sound, like when the hands of a clock ticking to 12 was heard as i wait for my demise, to think that i would even hear a clock when i'm in deaths door

I waited several milliseconds for my demise but nothing came

Seconds turn to minute and still nothing happened, no pain, nothing

Hooh, are they trying to play with me? These boars playing with me like i am nothing!!

I heaved a sigh and slowly opened my eyes, as i opened it, my jaw dropped at what is happening right now

I looked at my surroundings and everything is the same, everything stopped, not even the tiniest sound can be heard

The boulder which is only in hands length from me is there too floating in front and the boars, tree's, leaves. Nothing is moving

As i wonder what is going on a notification rang in my ears

['Congratulations for awakening your power!']

['Dormant/Innate Power has been awakened succesfully!']

['System Upgrade has finished.']
