Chapter 15: Wanted?

In the heart of the Shader family's city council, tension hung thick in the air. The elders convened, their faces etched with worry and anger. A small device resembling a phone soared through the room, accompanied by a resounding 'Bang.' It was a manifestation of the council's frustration, a physical release of the emotions coursing through the room.

"What the hell is this supposed to mean?" bellowed an elder, his eyes ablaze with fury.

A calm voice cut through the tension. "Sunai is on the wanted list for the murder of Zara, the eldest daughter of the Chin family," another elder revealed, his tone measured.

"Hmph! What do they even think of themselves, putting Shader on the wanted list? I am going to smoke them to ashes," Miraj declared, his voice dripping with anger.

A commanding voice, belonging to the supreme elder Tun Shader, silenced the room. "Everyone, shut up!!!" His throne-like seat elevated him above the rest, and the council members obediently fell silent. Tun Shader, a five-star awakened, gazed sternly at his subordinates.

"Where is Sunai, and why does his bounty keep growing? Do any of you have a connection with Sunai?" the elder inquired, seeking answers from the assembled council.

Miraj raised his hand. "Reporting to the supreme, my son is currently being hunted down by the awakened of the Chin family in the realm."

"If it's the Sunai I know, then the Chin family is in for a reckoning, haha," chuckled Devoid Shader, the family's only four-star mage. His eyes remained closed, but the aura around him hinted at the formidable power he possessed. A youthful and handsome figure at first glance, yet his opened eyes promised only death.

...

Meanwhile, in the first Realm

The slopes of the mountain were painted red with the blood of the fallen. Awakens, driven by killing intent, unleashed chaos. The air resonated with the screams and cries of those caught in the maelstrom. Amidst the chaos stood Sunai Shader, fighting like a god of war.

His newfound ability, blood manipulation, transformed the battlefield. His blood, shaped into small spears, shot toward the enemy, leaving a trail of destruction. Each strike was lethal, wiping out every member of the Chin family's awakened. A simple yet deadly power – shoot, recover; miss, bleed.

Sunai, now a three-star wanted awakened, held the coveted rank of 2000. The ominous title bestowed upon him: Sunai Shader, the future God of War. The echoes of his wrath reverberated through the first Realm, marking the rise of a force to be reckoned with.
