'...let me sleep...wait who is messaging me at...' I look at my watch," fucking 5 in the morning..."

[Hummingbird Gaming: Hello White Fang! We at Hummingbird gaming would extend an invite for you to visit our…]

[Mom: Are you okay, call me!. Your Dad might message you so be careful...]

[Dad: Call me once you wake up.]

[...]

'...okaaay...wtf happened?'

I went online and searched for 'white fang', multiple videos were featuring my digital avatar rampaging and killing everyone on the VR game.

'...'

*sigh*

'I forgot no matter how powerful your ability is, an accurate hit from a powerful weapon will still do you in...and I guess the video blew up because I killed a professional player yesterday. So no matter what my strength level is, as long as I have a sniper in my hands my value can be considered top tier...and that's the reason Dad called.'

Deciding to call back mom first, I tapped on her photo and pressed 'connect'...

*beep**beep*

"Hey, Mom!"

"Are you okay?" the level of concern in her eyes never diminished for me no matter how useless my ability was, the only reason she was not concerned much when I entered the academy was that I was a high tier and my ability was regeneration.

"Yeah, mom, I am okay don't worry."

"Be careful okay, your dad has been trying to get in contact with you since last night."

"Yeah, don't worry mom I'll talk to him next."

"Did your ability finally activate?"

"Yeah, don't worry about anything anymore." I smiled, what I hoped was a reassuring smile, and said goodbye to her.

'...'

'...alright time to talk to dad.'

*beep**beep*

"Dad..."

"Mike..."

'...you know, just your usual father-son bonding moment...'

"Is it true…?"

"Yes, Dad!"

"..."

"...When can you visit back home"

"We have a free week next month..."

"..."

"Okay, I'll book you a ticket back home, I'll talk with the academy to be a little lenient towards you...just train in your ability..."

"Yes! Dad"

"Also, don't join any professional team..."

"Okay, Dad"

"I'll send you the tickets then..."

*beep**beep*

*sigh*

'...same old dad.'

Going back to go through all the messages, I replied to some of the important ones. Looking back at the time, I decided to wake up and try to level up my combat skills so I went to the combat room in the dorms and practiced my sword skills.

-----Jane's room 7:06 PM-----

------Jane's POV------

"..."

*sigh*

'I should have known those videos would be leaked…his family should have already known about a potential new ability...damn it...I am pressed on time now.'

'His ability is unique and I am not even sure what it is...'

Let me call Luke he should be up by now…

*beep**beep*

"Luke?"

"Yeah, Jane!"

'...He is too easily excitable...'

"What happened with Mike yesterday…?"

"You saw the news then..."

"Yeah...what happened?"

"I doubt his ability is what he told us...do you want to beat it out of him..."

"..."

"Why is violence the only thing on your mind...we need to do this right...just treat him as a friend will you!..."

"Yeah, yeah...you don't like him do you..."

"Stop being an idiot...catch you later."

"Bye..."

'Where can I discard this idiot...Mike is at least a bit more interesting...'

*sigh*

'...'

*beep**beep*

[DAD: What do you know about one, Mike White?]

'...fuck'

'...way to make up for lost time dad...'

As today the classes were a little late, I changed my waypoint from combat class towards a nearby mall. I went inside the mall and started to look around for the things that I would need… I went around the shops and bought a VR capsule. I bought some clothes and proteins to help supplement my diet and after that, I roamed around the mall for a while before exiting and just walking across the city.

'...my feelings are a little jumbled up after what happened these past few days. I could just take up the role of a sniper and enlist in the army and probably get the role of an officer...Dad called for the first time in years, after barely acknowledging me all this time. I dunno what to feel, I feel a little glad because he acknowledged me. Mom has always been there with me, But it was the first time I saw a sparkle in her eyes when she talked to me...'

I continued walking as I crossed many blocks,'Jane, and Luke, where do I even begin about them, Jane terrifies me. She has an air around her as the untouchable queen and I kind of want to believe that she wants to be a friend, but I am probably just another pawn that she is looking to keep under her control. Luke, on the other hand, I like him more but on principle, any heirs of the top four families are to be avoided and held under suspicion.'

'...The system does not make things easier, I thought that I could keep it under wraps and grow silently without anyone noticing, but the growth speed is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe if I was not an aristocrat I would already be undergoing some brainwashing programs and getting ready to be unleashed upon someone's enemies…'

'...'

'...okay maybe I do think too much because seriously that got way out of hand way too fast...anyway, the greatest problems are the feeling of attachment and detachment conflicting towards Dad and other family members...wait these are unfamiliar surrounding...just where did I walk off too...'

The last thing I remember was that there was a blunt object that crashed into the back of my head and a syringe being plunged on my sholuder…
