CHAPTER 1 - BLOODLINE AWAKENING
In a small cozy apartment in Midway Street, a young man, Theo Taylor, just woke up. He has a skinny frame with eyes that seem lifeless, fragile, and curly black hair, weighing 55kg and standing at 5.4ft.
After getting out of bed, Theo went to bathe, brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and got dressed in a corporate white shirt, black trousers, black shoes, and glasses before leaving his house.
Walking to Bedrock High School, where he is still a high school student, Theo spends his day attending classes. After school, he heads to the library to prepare for an upcoming physics test on Monday at noon.
In the school corridor, a young man, Billy Barker was talking to two other students James Parker and Paul Heidi until they saw Theo passing by and heading to the library. Billy Barker, the strongest student and well known for his wind ability, jealous of Theo's intelligence despite lacking any special ability, decides to take action on Theo.
Immediately after Theo entered the library, Billy clenched his fist and spat on the floor saying; "how can a nobody like Theo be compared to him, the strongest in the school." James and Paul listened to him has he spoke then Paul said; "what if he just happens to die? It won't be the same again." Billy then suggests to James and Paul that they should get rid of Theo to improve Billy's standing in the school. They agree to help, and Billy comes up with a plan to kill Theo.
Theo gathered his books and belongings, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling in after a long day of studying. As he made his way towards the library exit, the familiar sight of Miss Jessica caught his eye. She was a beloved figure at the library, known for her warm smile and gentle demeanor that made every student feel welcome.
Approaching her, Theo greeted Miss Jessica with a tired but genuine smile. Her kind eyes crinkled at the corners as she returned the greeting, her white hair framing her face in a soft halo. Despite the late hour, she exuded an aura of calmness and kindness that instantly put Theo at ease.
"Leaving already, Theo?" Miss Jessica's voice was gentle and soothing, a balm to Theo's weary soul. He nodded, explaining that he needed to head home before it got too late. Miss Jessica wished him a safe journey and reminded him to take care of himself before bidding him farewell.
With a sense of gratitude for the brief encounter with Miss Jessica, Theo stepped out into the cool evening air, the memory of her warm presence lingering like a comforting embrace. The walk home felt less daunting now, knowing that he had crossed paths with someone who radiated such genuine care and compassion.
As he steeped outside the school gate it began to rain heavily and the moon shinned bright and it was a full moon. He walked in the rain and his clothes were soaked. Billy, James and Paul saw him has he left the school gate. Billy drenched as well said with furiousity; "We have been waiting all day for him to leave the school premises.
Theo decided to pass a shortcut due to the heavy rain and dark night so as to get home as early as possible. While walking, he noticed people following him and he took off running. In this present society, killing and stealing has become very rampant due to the fact that the military who used to put things in order are currentlt more focused on dealing with the demonic beasts known has Vikons which appeared years back.
Theo was running but his speed is nothing compared to those chasing him because they possessed abilities Theo didn't have. Billy, James and Paul noticed Theo saw them and they all began to running, chasing him and using and their abilities to stop him. Paul used his earth ability to create walls to block Theo's path.
Theo was slightly able to dodge the Earth walls but on his attempt to dodge on of these walls, he hit a light poll at his side and fell to the ground. Paul's earth was eventually able to block Theo's path and James used his metal ability to pin him to the wall with the metal from the light pole.
Billy, clapping slowly at Theo said to him; "Theo, Theo, Theo, I have always hated you, despite you being a loser with no ability, yet you always come out on top. Well guess what! That won't be happening anymore because when I'm done with you, the next perosn that finds you will see you as a corpse. Then I will continue being the strongest and the best student in the school and no one will look down on me. Every again!"
As Billy's words hung in the air, a malevolent glint in his eyes, he wasted no time in unleashing his fury upon Theo. With a ferocious intensity, Billy's fists rained down on Theo, each blow fueled by his potent wind abilities, sending Theo reeling with each strike.
The onslaught was relentless, a barrage of punches and blasts that left Theo battered and bruised, his once pristine appearance now marred by blood and bruises. Gasping for breath, Theo fought to stay on his feet, his body wracked with pain as he struggled to defend himself against the overwhelming force of his assailants.
As the vicious assault continued unabated, Theo's strength waned, his resolve faltering as he teetered on the brink of collapse. Every blow felt like a hammer to his already weakened body, each strike pushing him closer to the edge of consciousness.
Finally, as Theo lay broken and defeated, his body a mere shell of its former self, Billy and his cohorts relished in their victory. With a cruel smirk, Billy delivered one final blow, a devastating strike that left Theo crumpled on the ground, barely clinging to life.
Satisfied with their handiwork, Billy and his accomplices callously left Theo to suffer alone in the cold darkness of the night. Abandoned and forsaken, Theo's fate hung in the balance as he lay motionless on the rain-soaked pavement, a tragic figure left to die at the hands of those who sought to extinguish his light.
After they left, Theo, barely conscious, retrieves a necklace with a wolf-like pendant from his clothes. This necklace was left to him by his parents, who died fighting the Vikons. Theo said speaking to the pendant; "Hey Mom, Hey Dad, looks like I will be joining you very soon." His hands then fell to the floor.
The pendant which he held with his bloody hands, began to light up and the eyes of the wolf began to shine bright red as body began to float in the air. At this point, a system like voice rang in his head saying, "Requirements met, Blood recognised, Warewolf system unlocked, Wolf cub system unlocked, Level 1, Rank wolf cub, Abilities Nil." After the notifications had been said, Theo passes out as the red light fades away.
