Chapter 3: Devouring System

Kai Lin stood in the grand hall of the Lin family estate, surrounded by the oppressive silence that hung in the air. The once-respected martial artist now found himself ostracized and disdained by the very people who should have been his allies. The Lin family, known for their arrogance and entitlement, had turned their backs on him, treating him like a lowly outcast.

Ever since his arrival in the Murim world and his unfortunate encounter with the Lin family, Kai had experienced nothing but contempt from the family members. The gardeners and servants, who used to greet him with respect, now sneered and jeered at him as he passed by. Their mocking glances and snide comments only fueled the fire of determination burning within him.

Even the elders, who should have been wise and impartial, chose to ignore Kai's existence. They had become entangled with the grand disciple from the prestigious Rising Phoenix Academy, a renowned institution that produced exceptional martial artists. The grand disciple's influence was enough to make the Lin family tremble in fear, causing them to abandon any sense of gratitude they owed to Kai and his parents.

One day, a summons arrived, summoning Kai to a family meeting. The grand elder, a stern and imposing figure, sat at the head of the long table. His gaze was cold and unyielding, as if he held the power of life and death in his hands.

"Kai Lin," the grand elder's voice boomed through the room, filled with disdain. "Your actions have brought shame upon this family. Your defiance towards the grand disciple of the esteemed Azure Dragon Academy is an offense we cannot overlook."

Kai stood tall, his gaze unwavering as he prepared to defend himself. "I refuse to be a silent victim within this family. I have endured mistreatment and disrespect for far too long. Is it not my right to stand up against those who seek to harm me?"

The grand elder's face twisted with anger, his voice dripping with venom. "You dare to challenge me, you insignificant fool? Your insolence knows no bounds!"

Kai's voice remained steady, his eyes filled with determination. "I may have been labeled as trash by this family, but I will not be silenced. I will not bow down to those who abuse their power and bully others."

Enraged by Kai's audacity, the grand elder lashed out with lightning speed, his palm striking Kai across the face. The force of the blow sent him reeling, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, even as pain seared through his body, Kai refused to back down.

"Enough!" the grand elder bellowed. "You are hereby expelled from this family. Pack your belongings and leave. You are no longer a part of the Lin lineage."

Kai slowly rose to his feet, wiping the blood from his split lip. Despite the pain throbbing through his body, a fire burned within him—a fire fueled by betrayal, anger, and a thirst for justice.

"Fine," Kai said, his voice firm and resolute. "I will leave this place that was once my home. But mark my words, one day I will return, and I will make those who have wronged me pay for their sins."

With those words hanging in the air, Kai turned his back on the grand elder and the family that had forsaken him. He walked away, carrying the weight of his injured body and shattered dreams, fueled by a burning desire for retribution.

As he stepped out into the unknown, the world stretched out before him—a vast tapestry of challenges and opportunities. Kai knew that his path would be arduous, but he was determined to rise above the cruelty he had endured.

But before stepping out of the family Kai has received a notification which made him smile.
