A brother's love. Into the dark

False Hope

As Max left for class, he recalled a few details. There are three different kinds of drives:

The Primary drives- earth, wind, water, and fire. The majority of people had one of them, perhaps even more than 70%, making them the most prevalent.

The Mutated drives came next. Two groups of them were formed.

These are the ones that undergo a complete transformation; they include drives such as copper, acid, metal, and so on. This group is called Mutatio.

And those that were merely a more powerful variant of the primary drives. For example, the Pink Fire drive. It's interesting to note that the Rose family is renowned for creating a large number of its users. This group is called Fortior.

Then there are the two Ancient Drives, which were the first drives ever to be established. However, the ancient differs from the others in that it is more difficult to obtain. The two forces are light and darkness. The light drive is a power passed down, whereas the darkness drive is said to be impossible to obtain naturally.

However drives aren't the only powers someone can get, these are called outlawed powers. Few people own them because they are illegal. It's important to remember that they differ greatly from drives. Though I'm sure we'll find someone with them eventually, mind control and life energy are two examples of outlawed abilities.

I also mentioned that the darkness drive cannot be obtained naturally, as you may recall. Why did I say natural, though? There is an artificial darkness drive, also known as the masterpiece of outlawed powers: darkness.

You must make a deal with a demon in order to obtain an outlawed power. Regretfully, some families are experts in these abilities. Hopefully, Max will not come across a member of one of these families.

The last thing Max remembered was that his teacher's chest had to be at least 97cm. This last fact isn't that important tho.

At the end of the day, while was was walking to the exit of the school, well trying to get to it actually because he got lost again, some groups of kids approached him.

'Well if it isn't the Rat of the Rose family. At first, I thought it was my imagination, man are we going to have some fun?

Max immediately fled and hid since he could see their intentions. Fortunately, he was skilled at hiding and managed to escape. The problem was that this would most likely occur daily. He had not hopped for this.

Arriving home fatigued and late, he walked straight to his room and slept down on his bed. "Bed" was an exaggeration. It was just a pillow and blanket on the floor. Then he entered the dream realm.

But he woke up suddenly. He thought he heard his father arguing with someone and decided to investigate.
