System

Darkness. A Endless darkness, that consuming all the single fraction of light. It was a lightless place.

Eun-ak mind swirled in confusion. He couldn't feel his body, still yet, he was aware of himself. There was no pain, no warmth, nothing just except of emptiness — Just an eerie stilness.

"Am I dead? " Words of Eun-ak echoed in that empty void. "Is there anyone here? Can anyone listen me? Hellooooo~!? "

As Eun-ak spoke it, a moment later , a soft light flickered in the distance. A small orb with a light-blue colour came out of nowhere, and moved towards Eun-ak. The space stayed still dark, but the region near Orb illuminated the pale, weightless form of Eun-ak.

"You are neither dead nor alive, Eun-ak. " A voice Echoed from the orb. It was calm but there was heaviness in it.

Eun-ak frowned. "What is this place and who are you? " Voice echoed again in the darkness of void.

" It doesn't matter who I am, Eun-ak. " Orb answered. " I have been watching over you from the very first time of your first day in High school. I can grant you power to take revenge on those who wronged you. But in return I even want something. " Eun-ak felt same heaviness again as the orb spoke.

For a moment, Eun-ak hesitated. Revenge? His memories flashed back to the moment when he went through those hellish days, those beatings, those insults through which he suffered. It litted a wildfire in Eun-ak.

"What do you want from me? " Eun-ak asked.

As Eun-ak spoke, the orb pulsed brighter. "You must become stronger. And in those time, you will carry out missions of my choosing. Accept my offer, and I will give you POWER! "

As listening to the words of Orb, it gave some hope to Eun-ak. He clenched his fists. If this was a dream, he didn't want to wake up. If it was real, then it would be his chance. His chance to take back every precious moment that was taken away from him. A moment to change every thing.

"I accept! ", with a second another thought Eun-ak accepted the proposal of Orb without caring without knowing what cost he need to pay for it.

As Eun-ak accepted, orb glow intensified, and a rush of energy engulfed Eun-ak. His mind blurred, his body tingled and before he could process it — he was BACK.

On the Roof of Building -

Eun-ak gasped, his body jolting upright. He found himself again over the rooftop of building, on the moment back where he was about to took step to jump from the clif of building. The cold night air brushed against his fair, weak skin. His heart pounded in his chest.

"I am... Alive! Wait. Was it all a Dream? " Eun-ak thought as looks his hands, his arms — his body. Everything was fine, unscathed. It was like all a dream. Nothing happened.

"Then-", as Eun-ak was about to speak a notification sound rang.

DING! —

A blue, translucent screen poped up in front of his eyes.

One Month Later -

It was a similar day to everyone in school. School covered with the Shimmering lights of sun. Students chattering between themselves like daily. Some playing in ground. Some practicing for Competition maybe.

In midst of it, a boy went through the halls of floor, cutting through the crowd of students.

Step... Step... Step... —

The door of the classroom opened with a sharp sound.

Slam —

Students turned their heads In shock. It was Eun-ak. He stepped in. Everyone was shocked seeing him again in school. But the expression looked different. It was like something was unusual about Eun-ak looks. He looked different from last time he was.

Gone was the weak, fragile boy who once was weak. At its place was standing a confident postured boy with fine developed muscles. Still with great looks. His physique visible strong. His eyes were like of more a hunter than a prey.

Everyone startes to chatter about Eun-ak. The classroom was filled with murmurs.

"Is that really Eun-ak!? " A girl murmured with shyness.

"Didn't he disappeared two months ago? " A boy spoke lowly.

"He really looks different, better than before. " A girl spoke with a shy look.

But there in between the crowd, Song jae-hyun was sitting like nothing. He was just happy because his prey came back again.

A smirk formed over the lips of Song as he stood up, stepping in front of Eun-ak. "Well ,Well, look who's back!" Song's voice was laced with mockery. "I thought my pet was done with school. What happened? Dis you miss getting your faced smashed in? "

Eun-ak ignored all garbage talk of Song. He simply kept staring him.

It made Song annoyed, and he raised his fist. " Let me welcome you properly. You little —"

He threw a punch.

But —

SWOOSH!

Eun-ak sidestepped effortlessly. Song jae-hyun fist hit nothing more than air.

"Huh. You just got a little lucky. Don't try to get Cocky, You Bastard! "

Jae-hyun tried again. And again. And again. Each punch eun-ak dodged with ease. Frustration boiled in jae-hyun. "STOP MOVING and TAKE YOUR BEAT! "

Eun-ak was standing with a still face. In a split second he clinched his fist and moved forward and a ghost like words flawed in air.

"Your Turn!"

Wham! —

Eun-ak's fist slammed into jae-hyun's face with immense force, sending him flying backward. Jae-hyun crashed against the wall near the window, groaning in pain and he fainted with eyes opened. His face dumped inside, teeths broken, and mouth bleeding.

The classroom felt silent.

Everyone stared.

Shocked.

Terrified.

This... was not the same Eun-ak that everyone known for once.

It was like, he completely become a different person now. The Extreme Aura that everyone can feel flowing from Eun-ak body.
