I'm Juvial Senh

The New World

This is the year 2020 of the world calendar. This world has completely changed. Many small and big nations are facing multiple crises with the economy, insufficient energy, food scarcity, and the ecology of the planet is collapsing. Especially, for a powerless nation where big nations and organizations can easily control its politics and economics behind their backs and the Birdesh Nation is one of the victims for the big nations. The Birdesh Nation is a tiny empire with about 250,000sq. km of territory. The nation's economic source is tourism and agriculture because the Birdesh Nation has a tremendous amount of rich cultural sites, natural resources, and hard-working people. If we look into the political aspect of the empire, most of it consists of selfish old people who only think about themselves, their family, and are heavily corrupted. Some political leaders are even controlled by a shadow organization or a big nation.

Meanwhile, in the business sector of the empire, there are four gigantic conglomerates who are always helping their country and its citizens. Many Birdesh citizens trust these mega corporations more than the government. Because these conglomerates are spreading their branches all around the country's industries and helping its people by providing education, employment, health, and technology. Sometimes, they even stand face to face against the government which they built their company upon. These corporations are more powerful than the government because they are backed by a strong crystal power user and are also one of the most powerful organizations around the world.

However, they are falling behind to develop the Birdesh Nation because of the interference of the Radun Faction. A ghastly and malicious organization that controls the entire world within the shadows.

Somewhere in the Kastaman Region of the Birdesh Nation. There is a man whose determination is outgrowing his own suffering.

Hi, My name is Juvial Senh, from Kaduman district in the Kastaman region of the Birdesh Nation which is also the capital of Birdesh. I will be 21 years old on November 1st. I always like to wear a black T-shirt, long pants, and athletic shoes as my everyday outfit. I completed my high school with a B grade.

Two years ago, I was hoping to study and work abroad to earn money for my family because my family is very poor and my father is always working abroad. However, due to my never-ending rotten luck, they rejected me for minor excuses. My latest rejection was by Kanlias country in Thaeo Continent. The reason they stated was that I will have to stay in Kanlias country forever and never return back to the Birdesh Nation

I was super angry when I read the rejected paper. It was like my life was over because my parents had spent so much money on the process. When I returned home, they were excited to see me back home with the paper. But little did they know that I was holding the rejected paper. I told them that Kanlias Country rejected me. At first, they were shocked, but my parents calmed down and said, "Don't worry, God will show us a better way, if God doesn't want you to go Kanlias, then even if you tried harder you still wouldn't be able to go there, maybe God is preparing a big surprise for you."

As you can see, my parents were the religious types. They were the followers of an old religion of the world. I was living with my mom Jenuwah and my little brother Eljay who was already 19 years old. He was a game maniac and had already completed high school and was in the same boat as me.

Whereas my mother was a housewife, but she had a small aerobic center where she took care of her health and earned a little bit of money from people attending the aerobic center.

I was alone in my room, lying on the bed. Suddenly, I heard a notification on my mobile phone. It was an app reminding me that today was my birthday, November 1st. I just turned off the notification and smiled. I thought, "It's been over 10 years that I haven't celebrated my birthday, I can't even remember my own birthday. This is so weird."

I opened up Addicbook, a social app. I scrolled the post and everywhere I see are memes and political posts about the Birdesh Nation. I thought, "If this goes on, our Birdesh Nation will be captured by the two bigger neighboring nations." I shook my head and watched some videos.

Suddenly, I heard someone talking with my mother on the phone. I got curious about who she might be talking to and went to the living room which was close to the kitchen. My brother was lying on the sofa and playing video games by putting his earphones in his ear.

Then, I pretended to use my mobile phone and listen in on the conversation between my mother and the person on the phone.

"You don't have to worry about the money. You gave me the money as a loan because I needed the money for my son's study abroad, but that didn't go as we planned and you don't have to worry about this. I will try to talk to my relatives and friends to pay your money back with interest within a month," said my mother.

It seems like my mom took a loan from some loan sharks for my abroad process. Deep in my heart, I felt responsible for this because it was me who made my mom take a loan from those dangerous thugs and now they are pestering and threatening her on the phone. I feel like I am a useless son who can't even make his own mother and family happy. I am creating more problems for my family because now I am unemployed and searching for a cheap university to continue my bachelor's degree. I looked at my brother and he was looking at me with a miserable face and he continued to play his game again.

I knew he was pretending to be a lazy gamer addict but he was totally focused on mom's conversation on the phone. He just couldn't express his emotions that well, but he was also concerned for the family.

After some time, my mom called my dad. Mom was trying to persuade dad to send some money here to at least pay the interest to those thugs. But it seems my dad was also having a hard time abroad working hard and having to spend money on food and shelter which must be pretty difficult. He was talking about how he was disappointed with his son.

"Please don't say that our son is useless and cursed. He tried to improve his life. Don't you remember when he went to Mitwan in the Mahakal region to work for a software company and was living with our relatives. He was even studying there and scored a good mark but because of those stupid relatives and the corrupted company, he was working at. He had to quit his job and his studies and come back home. That time, he looked so weak, that I could only see his bone and flesh in his body."

Mom stopped talking to dad on the phone and came into the living room with a fake joyful face and said, "Oi Juvial and Eljay, it's time for lunch!"

I looked at her but I knew she was melancholic inside and said, "Ok mom, I will be there in a minute."

I notified my brother by kicking his leg and showing him epic hand signs. He looked at me with an angry face and said, "Ok, ok, I will be there after I finish this match."

After I had lunch, I went back to my room and thought, "I can't change my life, but I need to do something which will benefit me and my family." My key priority was to get admitted into a university and second was to find a part-time job. Then, the last part was to help my mom in her small aerobic center. I thought if I could do this maybe we can earn some money for us and don't have to depend on our father's salary every month or if I can get my hand on the mysterious power crystal, then I will become a powerful person. I don't have to worry about earning money and even call back my father to retire. But, it's a one in a million chance. I rolled around the bed and shouted, "Oh god, please give me the power!"

My brother heard me and shouted, "Shut up asshole, if you want to shout, then go outside and shout!".

I think lying lazily on the bed inside my room is not the solution! I have already read today's new manhua chapters and anime is boring nowadays. I should go outside for a walk.

I got up and wore a jacket and a mask because it's winter. Plus the temperature is like 14 degrees celsius. Also, I don't want any other friends to recognize me on the street because every time I meet them, they always ask me about my education and if I have a job which I don't like to talk about. Sometimes, some friends even humiliate me by shouting loudly in public saying "Bishal, you are so unlucky, I thought you settled your life in the software company, HA HA HA!".

I looked at my brother. He was playing a game on his mobile phone. I kicked his leg and said, "I will go outside for a walk." He was giving me an angry look and said, "Get lost, don't disturb my gaming!"

It was evening, I was walking alone on the road. There were a few people walking around the streets. I was in deep thought about my future. Then, I looked in front of me, I saw a girl walking with a guy. That girl's face looks familiar. I feel like I have seen this girl before. But I can't remember her face properly. Then, I suddenly remembered that she was a classmate of mine. Her name was Rita Detard who proposed to me when I was in the 10th grade. I was a good and gentle boy in school. Although I was poor in my studies, I had to work very hard in order to complete the assignments and pass the school subjects. I was friendly with every guy in the class except some and was shy towards the girls, rarely talked with them.

That was the reason Rita proposed to me. But, I already knew her personality. She always thinks of herself as a goddess of the school, although there were a lot of beautiful girls in the school. Also, I have even seen her bullying some of the boys and girls in my school by hiring delinquents. It's not like that I was her first proposal to a boy because she has proposed to a lot of other guys before me. And I was the first one to reject her. She felt so humiliated because she proposed to me in class in front of every student. I told her,

"You and I are not meant to be together, please give up on me!"

After that day, she became so furious and started bullying me and even hired some gang members from outside the school to deal with me. But, I had a friend named Suran whose body was bigger than a normal student and stronger than me. He was friendly to me and protected me whenever I was in a critical situation within the school. Suran usually knocked the shit out of my enemies. Beating the gang members into a pulp. Because he was ranked black belt in karate and finished his enemy using his legendary round-house kick.
