"Son, whatever faction you choose we would never disown you, ever."
"What if Id never see you again? What if I die?"
"Trust me you won't not like this, you've joined the martial arts and had alot of medals! "
"Thanks dad"
"Now go you might be late."
"I love you both."
I hugged my parents tightly as it might be my last time seeing them.
I walked forward and my parent's face started to fade away. My tears run down my cheeks as I walk farther. This is it, I have to choose a faction. I've always hated this moment but it's finally happening. When I was young I was soo good at martial arts and a letter arrived on our doorstep saying that all factions want me on their team. But I have to choose one to team up with for 5 years till I graduated.
As I swallowed my saliva, a group went close to me.
"Hey you!" I pointed at myself while tilting my head "yes you!"
A guy came close to me and said:
Greetings! I can see you are about to join a faction well we have something for you! Join Bloodlust! I can assure you that you will be epic when you join us! We give our enemies no mercy so if you decided to NOT join us well goodluck to you. Join BloodLust now and get the recognition you deserved! We are tasked to train our newbies and transform them into independent fearless soldiers! So what are you waiting for? Join now!
He gave me a pat on the back and went back to his group and walked away.
I was left with my eyes widened and mouth opened upon hearing what he just said. If I join this team I would be fearless they say, I'd be independent. I was stuck between Vanguard and Bloodlust, both factions are deadly, soo much that Neocrypt and Iridium. Neocrypt is famous for their skills in creating traps around the arena while Iridium are Masters of shadows, they can attack you during night time and can even shoot an arrow straight to your head.
My mom wanted me to join Vanguard since I can learn to be a master of illusion and can boost up my stamina due to their rough training. Dad suggested to join Bloodlust since he was a Bloodlust, everything is chill there and the leaders were humble, I don't know about the leader today but yeah.
I brushed everything upon seeing a large black door, inside was the choosing ceremony, I gathered up my courage and went inside.

The door opened to reveal a dark room and 4 large couldrons on the middle and long chairs surrounding the area. A person which I assume to be the host of this cam close to me and asked me to follow him. He lead me to the left side where the rest of the newbies were.
"Welcome everyone as you can see, we have new batches and wanting to join a faction. The rules are simple, when its your turn you would go in the middle, slice your palm and drip your blood on the cauldron of the desired faction."
I looked around and saw 4 flags with designated colors:
Red flag - BloodLust Blue - Vanguard Yellow - Neocrypt Green - Iridium
As soon as it was my turn I looked at each cauldron and the faction. And on the corner I saw my parents watching me choose a faction. I sliced my palm and my blood was about to drop I breathe and placed my palm under the BloodLust team immediately. As soon as my blood dropped on the cauldron it spread with the petals inside and the BloodLust team gave me and applause.
"Bloodlust!" the announcer shouted.
The ceremony ended and we would go with our faction from now on and the BloodLust team gave us newbies applause and compliments like "Welcome!" "you'll be in good shape when with us." Then a boy suddenly came towards me and smiled.
"Hey welcome to BloodLust Mr?" "Felix." I answered. "Hello Felix I'm Seungmin!" he offered me his hand for a hand shake so I gladly accepted.
