Pitiful boy

The sky was covered with dark clouds blending with the night skies. The drops of rain fall onto the leaves, thus making light rhythmic sounds and pattering sounds. It was relaxing to the ears. The thick lush forest was immersed in the rain.

In that forest...

cha cha cha cha

The sound of footsteps falling on the wet ground. A woman was walking towards a large tree. She had a pale face and seemed very weak. She was holding a baby in her hand. She stared at the baby for a brief moment and sighed shaking her head. Her dress was completely drenched in rain but she made sure to not get the baby-wrapped cloth wet.

She then placed the baby under the tree, making sure that rain doesn't get to him. Then she turned around, without looking back, she left the place. The baby started crying but she didn't stop.

The baby's cries echoed in the forest. But no one could hear him.

Far from humanity, millions of miles away, on a plane, on that plane, a place in the wilderness of joint mountains. A large cave with carvings all over the walls. it was very bright with a red-orange color radiance which was given by the lava stream flowing at one end side of the cave. This cave was under the depth of the mountains where no sound could be heard, at the center of the cave, there stood a dragon in human form looking at the spheres revolving around the pool. The name of the dragon is Blodig mørke Dragon. His eyes were glued on the spheres, seeming to be immersed in thoughts looking at the spheres glowing different colors and each of them emitting a tremendous powerful aura respectively.

These spheres were collected by Blodig as he planned to experiment with getting more power. Each sphere belonged to the people who were the apex of their race. One of the spheres contains an elf's power and affinity, a demon's high potential, and stuff related to them are contained in one, these were all collected by Blodig. He had formed the spheres by refining their bodies.

He wanted the power to rule all over the universe, to be invincible. He was looking for various methods to control all the beings present in the universe. Thus, Blodig thought of this method, by combining the special powers of different species. He collected by killing the top powerful experts of the respective species. As he gathered the spheres. To withstand all of this power, he needed a human.

Then this all will combine to form a single sphere containing the various powers of top beings. After merging, the power will be bottled up in a single sphere. Then that sphere will absorb into the body of a human.

"I should start refining the sphere of my body." Blodig started. He extracted his soul from his body.

"Now I should find the perfect vessel, " he mumbled to himself.

.....

Astral space consisted of several planes and there is a huge plane occupied mostly by humans. on this plane humans are the rulers through the generations. There are many numbers and clans.

In a faraway place, that is the earth, in a continent...

In a house that is enough to live for two people. In front of the house, a woman was beating a boy who is at the age of 7-8 years. This woman looked to be in her mid-thirties. The boy under the foot of the woman was crying with his tears covering his face. His face was full of dirt marks. She was not even showing the least mercy to the boy.

"Where is today's money? Why didn't you get a single penny?" she said with an angry face.

The kid had no name, he was picked by the husband of that woman. There were raising him and taking care of him. The kid has to beg on the streets daily to collect money from morning to evening. At the end of the day, he has to give that money to her.

"Don't beat me, please..." the boy was pleading with her to not hurt him.

"Today's money was robbed by some people on the street, they beat me up on stealing the money from me. Please don't hit me. I'm sorry...." the kid was crying from the pains in his body.

"You good for nothing, Why did my husband have to pick up trash and keep it in our home. " she sighed and moved into her home.

The boy got up and started moving out.

The boy got picked up from the forest when he was a baby. The woman kept telling him daily about this, which made the boy even more hurt, and was feeling very sad that, why was he left there. who were his parents?

The woman and husband were very poor as they were living in slums. That woman was very displeased with her husband as he brought a child, being poor how can they afford to raise the boy. So she started sending the boy to the streets and made him beg for money. The boy used to beg for money, some pitied him and gave him money, but some beggars often battered him looting the money. They did not even spare him despite knowing that he was just a child. Neither his helpless cries nor his pleas didn't make them stop beating him. His small body and his body were covered with most scars and wounds. The boy did not even have proper meals to support his body. He was very thin and had a delicate body. His hair was sticky. He wore ragged clothes.

He had no expression on his face. His body was aching all over. Eyes were dried off tears and no life can be seen in them.

"Why do I have to suffer like this?, Why did my parents abandon me? There is not even a single person who cares about me in this world. If I kill myself, then they will no longer be able to torture me like this every day." He was mumbling to himself. He was just seven years old but he has seen so much of life in the streets. By daily walking in the streets, he heard people talk and some of them told him things that he never should have known and suffered so much. He saw people dying in front of him. He learned what is death. After knowing about that, he decided to kill himself to end his suffering. This may seem absurd for some people but the boy, not able to hold anymore, arrived at that conclusion. They were no one to tell me in the first place.

The child was only seven years old, but he had seen the reality and cruel world out there.

"If I was with my parents, it would have been different." he thought to himself. As he was walking on the street suddenly a portal popped up in front of him and sucked him in just like that he disappeared into thin air. No one was present on the street, none could witness this incident.

....

At the same time, Blodig found a person, and a smile appeared on his face. He used his power to drag that person into the pool and he appeared above the pool falling into it. That person was none other than the boy who was walking on an empty street.

The young man was astonished, He was walking from his home, how did he end up here? What is this place?

Blodig with a smug face looked at the boy. Finally, he can complete the method that he was waiting for, for several years. The process to make him immortal.

The confused young man looked at Blodig wondering who he was. He was not afraid or terrified of what is happening to him. He just looked blankly floating on the surface of the water.
