Chapter 1: Start of a New Beginning. (Rewritten)

"Hah... I sighed, thinking about my old town where I used to live. Where do I even begin?

Alright, let me introduce myself. The name's Baron. Just your average dude, nothing too fancy. I was born and raised in this small town called Tiara. You know, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, and the biggest excitement is when the local farmer's cow goes missing.

My childhood was full of energy and curiosity. I was always questioning everything, trying to figure out how stuff worked.

My dad, did his best to feed my hungry brain with knowledge. He was a hardworking guy, doing whatever it took to put food on the table for us.

Now, my mom, she passed away after I was born. It was tough growing up without her, but my dad did his best to fill both roles. He might have had his flaws, but he loved me like crazy.

Anyway, fast forward a bit, and we ended up moving to Australia. My old man believed he could find a better job there, and I guess he was right. So, off we went, chasing a better life.

As I grew older, I realized that I needed to do something about our situation. I knew that education was the key to unlocking a brighter future. So, I worked my butt off, studying like crazy, and giving it my all.

And guess what? All that hard work paid off! I managed to snag a free tuition offer at one of the best universities in the country. Darwin's University, baby! It's like the holy grail of higher education, where all the successful folks like Elon Ligma and Giga Chad graduated from. Can you believe it? 'Cause I still can't!

When I got the acceptance letter, I rushed to show it to my old man. I swear, I thought the guy was gonna burst into tears of joy. He hugged me so tight, it was like I won the lottery or something.

Now, here I am, standing in the middle of this big city. Tall buildings, fancy cars, and all that jazz. It's a whole different world from my small town.

"Ah.. The big city." I stood there next to my father, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city, the vibrant energy pulsed through my veins.

The air was tinged with the scent of smoke, a distinctive urban aroma that signified the life and movement that surrounded me.

"I'll miss you, Dad," I whispered, my voice filled with a mix of sadness and determination. "I'm gonna make you damn proud."

Bairon, my pops, stood tall beside me, all 6'5 of him, making me feel like a slightly shorter version at 6'4. The guy had a lean build that came from years of hard work, and let me tell you, he looked like a freaking 30-year-old model.

I mean, seriously, the man was handsome as hell. He was not just my dad. He was my mentor, my rock, and my source of unwavering support.

A smile spread across his face as he looked into my eyes. "Son, you already make me proud every day," he replied, his voice full of love and pride.

I was about to say goodbye to my father but then he called out to me.

"Baron," he called out to me, a glint of excitement in his eyes, as he presented me with a key necklace. "When you get home, I'll show you all the memories your mother and I made."

"Really?" I replied, unable to contain my curiosity and anticipation.

Bairon nodded, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Absolutely, son. This key holds the key to our past. Make sure to get back soon so we can unlock those cherished memories together."

I carefully took the key from his outstretched hand, feeling its weight in my palm.

"I promise, Dad," I said, my voice filled with determination. "I'll be back before you know it"

He nodded, his eyes gleaming with pride and emotion. "I know you will, Baron. Take this journey, chase your dreams, but never forget where you come from. Your roots are what make you strong."

With those parting words of wisdom, we shared one final hug. It was a bittersweet moment.

I walked off to the subway dragging my suitcase behind me, my gaze fixated on the key necklace dangling around my neck. As I ran my fingers over its intricate design, a thought struck me.

"It's like attack on titan, but the thing that my father is hiding are the pictures and notes he has been keeping away from me."

As I walked off through the subway, I spotted my friend Zhang up ahead, standing out with his unique fashion sense. He was wearing a vibrant yellow T-shirt featuring the cartoon character SpongeBob, a nod to his playful personality. Paired with his brown shorts, Zhang's outfit was definitely a statement in itself.

Zhang, a typical Chinese guy in appearance, had black hair and slanted eyes that sparkled with mischief. His mustache, which he proudly sported, gave him a quirky edge, making him resemble a mischievous businessman who might be up to some dubious schemes. It was all part of his charm and humor.

Approaching him, I couldn't help but chuckle at his choice of attire. Zhang always had a knack for mixing fashion with a dash of eccentricity. It was one of the many things I loved about him, his ability to bring a sense of fun and lightheartedness to any situation.

"Hey Zhang!" I called out, waving my hand to catch his attention. He turned towards me, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Baron! Finally, you're here!" Zhang exclaimed, his laughter echoing through the bustling street.

Giving Zhang a nod in acknowledgment, I followed him towards the subway station. He walked ahead of me with an air of confidence, as if he owned the place. I couldn't help but chuckle at his charismatic demeanor.

As we reached the platform, Zhang spotted an empty seat and swiftly made his way towards it. He plopped down, making himself comfortable, and patted the seat next to him, gesturing for me to join him.

I gladly took his invitation and settled down beside him.

Back to the topic. As for my personal life? I grin, well let's just say.. I've been living my life.

Though, I don't know why I had the way with the ladies, I've slept with thousands of women, they even beg me to be with them.

It's kinda tiring to be honest, when I look at a girl as if magic they fall in love easily. Well? I didn't hear you? What's my secret?

Oh.. well magicians don't tell they're tricks but I guess I'll fill you in, you see..

I myself know that the key for flirting is…

"Hehe, BAHAHAHA"

"Self confidence, and.."

"HAHA"

I look at my left side looking at the asian guy next to me with a disapproving look.

"HAHAHA, HEHE, H-holy shit, HAHAH I-I can't breathe AHAHA '' Zhang laughed with his hands on his stomach seemingly out of breath as tears began to appear in his eyes.

"Damn, Zhang! Did I just crack the funniest joke ever, or are you just losing it?"

"HAHAHA, HEHE, H-holy shit, HAHAH I-I can't breathe AHAHA '' Zhang laughed with his hands on his stomach seemingly out of breath as tears began to appear in his eyes.

I stared at him waiting for him to shut up. "Haha, f-fuck I can't stop laughing.. Haha *Snorts* Sorry, Haha, continue." Zhang cleared his throat "Alright, Go ahead.."

"Um.. So uhh, yeah so the key to flirting is.." I was about to finish my sentence as I heard an annoying laughing in the background once again.

"Haha, sorry man.. it's just that the closest for you on getting laid was 5 years ago when the cafeteria lady slips and fell on you, And this fucker here proudly proclaimed that he has slept with thousands of ladies" Zhang laughed.

"Hey! Don't you remember that it was you who told me to say those things yeah?"

I imitate Zhang voice 'If you want to be a player, you.. yourself can become a player'

"You even have light on the background like a shining buddha!"

Zhang laughs once again "Haha did I even say that? Well scratch that then, it will not work, you should just stick with a liar attitude and a nice attitude facade"

"You say that, but you didn't even get a girl last year either, you even made a poem and I even risked myself playing a guitar for you to ask trisha but what happened? She laughed at you and exposed you to the whole campus."

"Exactly! But did I become sad and depressed after that? No right?"

"Bro! You cried for a month back then, when I mentioned Trisha to you, you just suddenly cried!"

"Yeah yeah! I know that man, what I'm tryin' to say is that you shouldn't let someone take away your smile, everything is just going to place themselves."

"Whatever, I bet you read that quote online"

Zhang, my awesome buddy, is right by my side as we reach Darwin's town. He's a total goofball, but I trust him with all my heart. He insisted on seeing me off, making sure I kick-start this new adventure with a bang.

And guess what? The train finally grinds to a halt, and we're here, Darwin's town, baby! The place where dreams come alive and legends are born. I can practically taste the excitement in the air as I gather my stuff, ready to take on this city like a boss.

Zhang, always one step ahead, jumps up from his seat like a hyperactive puppy. "Well, this is your stop my bro, guess I'll see you off one last time."

As we exchange goodbye I gave my bestfriend a hug. And drag off my suitcase.

I step out of the train station and make my way up to the town. It's a pretty chill place, with stores lining the streets and a laid-back vibe in the air.

"Yo, Darwin! I've officially entered the building!" I announce, striking a confident pose with both hands on my hips.

I take out my trusty phone and shoot a quick text to my dad, letting him know that I've arrived safe and sound. Gotta keep the old man updated, you know?

Looking up, I notice that the sky is crystal clear, with the sun shining brightly and birds happily chirping away.

I inhale deeply, filling my lungs with the fresh air of the town, and a smile spreads across my face. It feels like today is going to be an awesome day,

*Growl* Yeah, that's my stomach reminding me that I completely forgot to have breakfast this morning. Blame it on my late-night pondering about what the university life is going to be like.

I glance at the buildings around me, scanning for a convenient store where I can grab a quick bite. A piece of bread should do the trick to satisfy my growling stomach.

I head towards the nearest store, ready to satisfy my morning hunger.

I stroll down the bustling streets, my eyes scanning the surroundings, when suddenly a glimmer catches my attention. I look down and spot a shiny quarter lying on the ground. "Well, well, well... Looks like luck is on my side today," I mutter with a sly grin, envisioning the possibility of crossing paths with some attractive ladies.

Unable to resist the allure of the shiny coin, I bend down to pick it up, ready to add it to my ever-growing collection of random discoveries. But just as I reach for it, a loud noise pierces the air, jolting me out of my thoughts. It's not my rumbling stomach this time; it's something else entirely.

My head whips around to see a massive truck hurtling towards me at an alarming speed. Time seems to slow down as panic surges through my veins. My heart races, and I realize that this could be the end of the line for me.

"Ah, shit... Lucky day indeed,"
