BBB Novella

The Forgotten One－[I]

The world of Beyblade. Every blader comes and shows their power to the world. One blader challenges the other bladers and proves that they are worthy of the title of the champion. It's a game of fun where every blader has fun.

But it's idiocy to say that everyone blades for fun. Everyone's eyes are on the prize. Some win by the dedication and their love for blading. And sometimes, the price makes the man greedy. Compel them to do anything for the prize. This greediness was the reason behind the corruption that overtook the whole Beyblade organization.

There was nothing like fun anymore.

How does it feel to get forgotten? The best about it is known by one person.

Valt Aoi

As the bladers came, the Beyblade organization became corrupted even more. Beyblading was nothing more than earning money. Valt, a boy who never stopped smiling. One who believes in the fun. One who has a different type of passion and dedication for Beyblade. He never stops moving onward on his way. Different from the world. Alas, he couldn't stay longer in this storm of sins.

Soon, he got forgotten by everyone. Like his existence doesn't occur. Like he is invisible. Everything happened so fast. Still, Valt didn't give up on convincing people that money isn't everything. Every time, he ended up embarrassing himself. How long can he bear all this? He knows one day he has to give up and stop embarrassing himself. That day wasn't far.

When the title of "Wonder Boy" died, Valt also died. He Isolated himself from Beyblade and the world. It is not a thing that can break him apart, but this was not only the problem. His parents abandoned him with his two young twin siblings when he just entered high school. Though he was able to get money through jobs, now, he can't afford it anymore.

But he loves his young siblings. He monthly sends them money so that they don't overwork themselves. They went to college last year. Valt can't let them go but, at the same time, can't decline their choices. After thinking for a while, he agreed with them.

But the reason he wants them to stay is for himself. He couldn't tie his siblings just for his sake. After all, he is used to loneliness. No one is there. There's only you and yourself.

As Valt turned twenty, he got fed up with his life. He's nothing but a forgotten champion. After so many things, he decided to leave Beyblade and even locked his blade due to depression. However, he thinks to took out Valtryek cause he misses it. He opened the locker and took out Valtryek. He touched his bey, remembering his happy days with his bey.

"Valtryek..."

He clenched his fist. Shutting his eyes, he touched Valtryek from his chest as tears rolled down from his eyes.

"I am Sorry. I am a terrible master!"

He sobbed, unknown that the blade was glowing in bright blue. The radiant rays spread across the room when everything turned white.

"Huh?" the bluenette blinked several times in confusion. What happened? he thought and took a look at his surroundings. "Where am I?" he started panicking and hoping to see someone.

The place was devoid. The trees were withered, and the houses were in bad condition. The roofs were blown up, and the glasses were broken.

The cold breezes were giving shivers down Valt's spine. He sneezed and rubbed his arms for warmth. "Cold!" he gritted his teeth and went to find someone. The place was like an abandoned city. Valt could hear his heartbeat. He assumed a zombie to come out of nowhere and scare the daylights out of him. The place was terrifyingly barren. Valt was doubting human existence there.
