Return

I left my house in the morning after getting ready and then waited at the bus stop near my place. I dont live on campus due to my finances and almost all my money goes to tuition. Living on your own and putting yourself through college isn't cheap, especially when no one is willing to help.

Not to mention, now that I have a power, I want to move up out of the courses I'm taking now. I've been taking courses for a degree in engineering but now that I've "awakened" a power I could start taking the combat courses.

If I graduate with a degree in combat I could join another ancient family or there are numerous organizations that would take me in. This world is always threatened by monsters and there are villain organizations that exist as well.

People who specialize in combat are highly sought after as not everyone has a power that can be used for fighting.

"But for now, I wont change anything until after I've seen what I get after punishing that guy. I still have some personal vendettas to settle as well..."

After arriving at campus, it was still early and not many people were up and around. I went to my first class and decided to wait while I messed around on my phone. After about thirty minutes, other students began shuffling in. It didn't take long for someone I know to walk in and be surprised by my presence.

A girl with curly blonde hair and heavy makeup walked in and noticed me sitting in my usual spot. This particular girl shares this class and my last class with me and is someone I was eager to see again.

Of course this is the girl who tricked me and led me to my death on Friday afternoon. After an initial shock of seeing me she nervously sat down at her desk, while I just glared at her. She might have thought my ghost had come back to haunt her, with the way she was figeting and stealing glances my way.

I got up and approached her and when I was standing in front of her, her head raised up and our eyes met. But her's were shaking quite a bit.

"H-how...?"

"Nice to see you, Trina. How was your weekend?" I asked politely but my eyes were showing clear hostility.

Instead of answering, her body just shook, "I-I..."

"Well, That's good to hear." My words were laced with venom and I didn't even let her speak. I lowered my head to her ear and then whispered. "I intend to return the kindness you showed me on Friday by at least 10 fold." I then put my hand on her shoulder and then walked back to my seat. I felt her shiver from my touch as I did so.

After the professor arrived, class went on normally as usual. I had been faithfully attending the Basic courses in hopes to have a decent future, but as soon as I was given this power, I desired more. I didn't want to be a bottom feeder of society, instead I found myself wanting to take the path of power and vengeance.

I'm not even strong yet but that doesnt change that I one day will be and I will make sure to carve my name into the hearts of those that think themselves strong.

The class ended and everyone began filing out of the room. I saw that bitch Trina, running out with her phone to her head making a call.

'Shes probably calling that boyfriend of hers to tell him about me.'

Even though I knew I couldn't beat them as I currently am, I decided not to stop her. I wouldn't have come to classes if I was going to be afraid. The first step to changing your life is changing yourself.

I wont let them catch me off guard and when I meet those bastard again, I will be ready.

I attended all my classes for the day, even though I was planning to change courses soon, and I was getting ready to leave. But I ran into someone from the combat courses I really despised. My sister Estelle.

"Well, Jesse. Your still here? How's the basic courses? Trash!" My sister and her friends mock and laugh at me everytime we run into each other on campus.

I chose not to react to her provocation and walked away. I was going to head to the bus stop but she took offense that I dared to ignore her and she lifted a finger and tiny bolt of electricity shot at and hit me in the back.

The voltage wasn't high but it caused me to spasm and drop to one knee.

"Heh, That's a good look for you. You should have kneeled before me sooner." She came close to me and I let her as she got close to my ear and whispered. "My offer still stands. You can return to the family but you will have to do so as my pet. Well? It better than living on the streets, right? That's the best future a trash like you can hope for."

I turned my face toward her and glared at her. She didn't feel intimidated in the slightest and just clicked her tongue and went back to her friends.

"Let's go. This trash isn't worth our attention." they all giggled and followed along with her, leaving me kneeling there.

"Damn it!" I punched the ground in frustration. Estelle always gets under his skin. She used to treat him respectfully when they were young and he even looked up to her then but once he was found to have no potential, she started treating me like an object.

The thing is, Estelle is a closet sadist that's been abusing me for years. All of her abuse has been painful and borderline sexual.

The idea of incest isn't looked down on in most of the ancient families. And Estelle got ideas from who knows where and began projecting them at me ever since I became known as a trash. Over the years she bullied me in strange and disgusting ways. And when I was kicked out of the family, she made me an offer to become her pet and in return I could live in a doghouse at her villa.

Of course, I refused her. But she still pesters me from time to time and humiliates me.

I picked myself up and with a determined look, I took a bus to the side of town where a certain bank was where a certain individual works.

'I'm killing him today! I dont care about being cautious anymore. I need power so he has to die!'

I was hungry to grow stronger at this point. Im not like others who grow their abilities by simply using them. My power grows by absorbing the souls of the wicked. And after two days, it was time to move. I dont have the finances or time to wait any longer.

It's time for a punishment!
