Chapter-5<Awakening-1

"A trickster is a person that uses his brain and cunningness to trick his victim. A trickster's methods are unconventional and unheard of. But they sure are effective."

A.J is a trickster. He had been since he was a kid. As he grew up in the streets of Russia he would often have to use every unconventional method at his disposal to get his way. Because of his small size, he had not always been one of the strong kids. So using the unconventional method had become sort of a necessity for him rather than a trade.

He had been a smart kid from the start. He was so smart that people use to say that if he would have born in the era before Judgement day, he would have become a prodigy. But now, his smartness was useless until and unless he gets awakened. If someday he gets awakened he would be unstoppable.

A.J's parents used to preach to their gods every day to make their son an awakened one. They had blind trust in their faith. They believed that if they prayed earnestly then one day their son will get awakened. But A.J knew better than to pray to entities that never existed. So rather than waiting for someday, he would get awakened, he started paving his own path.

A.J was smart, so he thought that it would be better for him to use his brain to his advantage. He then started working with criminals as the caretaker of their money. Some of the criminals that he worked with were actually awakened ones. That meant that they would get a lot of cash in their hands with no knowledge of how to hide that amount of cash from the authorities. That is where A.J wayed in.

With his intellect, he started handling money for all those men. His skills were so good that they soon caught the eyes of the brothers of the 3B group. It was the time when all the three brothers were alive.

Before when A.J used to work for the criminals he would often steal some amount of money from them. The amount was so small that it was often overlooked by those dumbasses. But when A.J started working with the 3B group, it was then he started handling money which started making his greed sore through the sky.

It was then he started planning how he would mooch off this group. He understood from the trends of the group that these brothers would work wonders in the future. So he started planning his big heist then…

He had been stealing from the brothers for a very long time. Till now he had stolen 5.8 million Kaos dollars. Now with this night, he would get additional 70 million Kaos dollars…

In reality, Radomir's secret accounts were not blocked. A.J just created a dummy webpage and showed it to Radomir. This way he would think that his money his seized by the government. He would think that there was no way now from which he could get his money back. So A.J could now safely take that money out with Radomir making a fuss.

Now A.J had to do was to vanish. With this much money, he didn't need to work any longer. But disappearing from this place will be tricky. But it would not be impossible. With some of the criminal contacts that he had A.J brought that necklace. That necklace spread a paralyzing agent in the form of gas when broken. So from that necklace, A.J took care of the guards that had been monitoring him.

As A.J got out of the room, he took his phone and called a guy named Steve. He was a waiter in the hotel. He is a Russian boy who comes and takes the garbage from their room. After calling Steve, A.J waited by the stairs for Steve to arrive. As Steve arrived, A.J greeted him with a friendly smile. To which, Steve also smiled back. As Steve got closer to him, A.J took out a red chili powder and threw it in eyes of steve. Steve was surprised but then he started shouting in pain. But till then it was too late, A.J grabbed Steve's head and slammed it into the wall. A.J kept slamming Steve's head until he was unconscious.

After that A.J grabbed Steve's body to the computer room and threw it inside with the guards. A.J took his phone and iPod and threw them at Steve's body. A.J could see that the guards that were paralyzed were struggling and looking at him with a murderous gaze. But A.J simply smiled at them and then he turned around.

As A.J turned around he fished out a normal-looking rubic cube from his pocket. This Rubic cube was in fact a bomb. It was not a very powerful bomb, but it was very useful to A.J. A.J placed that bomb near the gas pipeline. After setting the bomb, A.J started sneaking out of the back of the hotel. He had already disabled the CCTV camera at the back so it was safe for him to sneak out from the back.

And thus like that A.J changed his life forever…

…..

In a small one-room apartment, A.J was sitting and watching the news…

"An explosion took place in the Acess hotel owned by the 3B group this evening. The cause of the explosion is unknown but it is being said that this may have been the work of a rival guild. A lot of the hotels of destroyed in the explosion. The headcount of the people that had died in the explosion had reached 40 while around 80 were injured…"

A.J looked at the news with sadness. He was happy from the fact that he was able to make a boat load of money from his tricks. But he was sad because now all of this was over. He loved the thrill when he was planning this very dangerous endeavor. He loved the thrill when he used to fool one of the strongest men in all Russia. But now all of that was over. That made him feel sad.

For safety purposes, A.J had decided that he would move to America. It was far away from Russia and there he could start a new life if he wants. He could start a new life. But it was all so…. BORING.

As A.J was thinking how boring his life would be, he was suddenly surprised when a black color screen suddenly came in front of him…
