Void

Chapter Six: Void

The bright morning sunlight shone on Zorian Mountain.

Just like any other usual boring day, Void was at home, eating his breakfast and enjoying his tea. Void was a eleven-year-old child of the clan, but his background was far from ordinary; he was the son of the richest and wealthiest man in the clan. He...

*Why do I feel like someone just called me a kid? Huh... Who is the fool that dared to call this lord a kid?* he thought with a frown appearing in his face.

He looked behind him and to the sides, and after making sure that no one was there, he continued to enjoy his tea. *Huh... weird, no one is here. Looks like it was just my imagination.*

"Void! Hey Void! Aren't you done yet? How much time do you need just to finish your breakfast? Get ready fast. Your father is very busy this morning, so he left his work to us. We need to supervise the business," his mother called out to him.

Void looked at his mother with an angry expression. "Go by yourself. I don't wanna go."

His mother suddenly stopped what she was doing and stared fiercely at her disobedient and insolent son. Rage and disappointment were clearly visible in her eyes. "What did you say? I didn't hear correctly. Just get ready soon if you don't want a beating," she warned.

Void remained unmoved by his mother's deadly expression. "Are you deaf or what? I don't wanna go and do that useless thing. It's just a waste of time. It's my training routine, so get lost," he retorted.

His mother entered the room and looked at Void.

*What's the meaning of this drama? If you were craving my beatings, you could have just told me. My hands have been itching since morning. I thought I caught some infection, but now it all makes sense,* his mother said sarcastically.

Then she picked up a wooden stick and bit it in her palm, trying to scare and intimidate Void.

"Huh... don't underestimate me, you ignorant mortal. Do you really think that this lord would be scared away by such a mundane stick?", Void was still unmoved by the beating threat.

"Oh, my little Void has grown so much. I should apologize for that...", his mother said as a small smile appeared in her beautiful face.

"Sigh... It's okay if you realize your sin. You are very fortunate, as this lord is very kind and forgiving..." he was about to say more when he saw his mother taking out a sharp butcher knife.

"Will this be enough for my grown Void, or am I still underestimating him? If so, don't mind telling this ignorant mother."

"..."

Void was speechless. "You shameless bitch, are you trying to bully me? Bully me... bully me while you can... but for how many days will you be able to bully me? This lord promises you that I will repay this humility with a triple-fold increase in the future."

"Oh, how kind of my little lord... I am so thankful for the lord's generosity," she couldn't hold up her anger anymore. She increased her grip on her long butchering knife and shifted it to its blunt side, thrusting it towards his stomach.

But Void wasn't some novice who only knew how to yap. He quickly dodged the knife with agility, but he couldn't help but feel nervous as he looked at the menacing butchering knife. "You crazy woman, are you even aware that I might get killed from that?"

"Aww... is my little lord scared by any chance? I am too disappointed," his mother said with a pleased expression.

"This crazy woman, I need to run away before she kills me..." He dodged another attack coming at him from his right and quickly ran towards the door.

"Void!!... If you go now, you don't need to return anymore. I am not your mother anymore. Hey Void, did you hear me!"

But Void ignored those words in such a way that every beautiful girl ignores me.

"This disobedient son!... Ahh... I am tired," she let out a long, weary sigh.

After coming out of the clan pavilion, he had already planned what to do. He knew what to do but didn't know where to go.

"Damn... I should have taken someone with me," he thought. He wanted to go to the historical or Information hall of the clan but he didn't know where it was. He looked left and right. "I need to find some stupi.. ahm... a kind and helpful guide."

As he was looking around, a wide smile appeared on his face as he saw a certain kid heading in his direction. "Looks like my luck isn't that bad after all... ha ha."

.....

"Don't return and don't call me mother, this is twenty seventh time she said that, does she still think that I will believe that bullshit..."

"Who does she think she is? Does she think she can do anything to me just because she is my mother, that bitch..." Void was cursing while walking, as he was too angry with his so-called mother.

His mother wanted him to grow to be a successful businessman and carry out his father's business. But he didn't want that, he wanted to be an Immortal and rule over everyone. He wanted to be like his great Clan leader, about his father, who will want to be a fucking businessman and be limited to that, he finds it too boring.

I want to fight, I wanna kill, I don't want to just shit and eat like that fat man or so called father of mine. I don't wanna money. I only want immortality, Will I will be lusted by some wealth. Wealth is never enough, its just a hoarding addiction.

It may be a great dream for some stupid mortals but it is worthless for a great lord like me who is aiming for immortality.

"Hey, kid!"

Void was just thinking about his grand goals when his small ears were assaulted by this blasphemous remark.

"Who the piece of fucking shit just called me a kid just now?" he thought, looking towards the source of the voice with pure rage and a threatening gaze. But when he saw whose voice it was, he discarded his anger and bowed deeply.

"Void greets the mighty, brave, strongest, and respected Clan leader."
