After he was done researching, Simon went home.

As soon as he entered through the door, he was welcomed by very tempting fragrance.

Looking at the man that was in kitchen, Simon felt emptiness in his heart

“It this the emotion of the past owner”

He felt it was only explanation for this emotion he now felt, because he was never related them.

His memory and the old Simon memory combined together but he kept them separate who he and other was but looking at the back of that man he saw his own father back shadowing him.

“Kid, because of you I am living this new life so I well take care you and your family” Simon promised himself and walked forward.

“Dad, what are you cooking? its smells so good”

Simon came from single-parent family, his mother has left them never to be seen again when Simon was young, so his father had to raise both him and his little sister single-handedly. With his father taking the role of two parents, the hardship he endured was not something outsider would understand, especially when his company declares bankruptcy.

The blow to this father faced was extremely big.

Had it not been for them, his two children, his father would have already thrown himself of the roof.

As a result, his father’s mental state had not been very good, he was drowning himself in alcohol thinking about where he had gone wrong.

He had not cooked in long time.

Did birds start flying upside down.

Simon was puzzled, his father turned over his head and in a concerned voice he asked “Son, are you back?”

“Yes, dad I just returned”

“Brat, why are you so late on this great day” Matthew Reid scolded him as he walked toward him.

“I heard what happened in school from your school teacher!” Matthew Reid said as he gave his son a hug.

“Simon, congratulations on becoming an Astral Lord! Dad is proud of you”

Simon accepted this hug and promised himself to safeguard this family.

Not long after Simon was released from the hug, his sister Olivia Reid came out of the room, and lunged at Simon again.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Brother, you are so awesome!”

“I just awakened my skill” Simon said with some disapproval.

“So, pretentious!”

His sister gave him a glare and added, “You know, after the trials were completed, the school hung a poster that said, ‘Congratulations to Simon Reid, Ivan Tarnell and Sophia Grace for bringing glory to the school”

“Sophia Grace? She also awakened her skill too?”

Simon was a little surprised, of course, he knows Sophia Grace, she is school’s number one beauty, she is the vice-leader of the sports team, and topper in the class, so obviously, everyone knows her in the entire school.

Simon had impression on her because she had everything, from being gifted academically, a good family background with great finance and above all she was beautiful.

Simon was seriously considering if being handsome was the key to awakening.

“Oo, God thanks for making me handsome” he said to himself.

Now back to the topic.

“Sophia Grace also awakened her skill. That unexpected! But Olive, do you know what kind of skill did she awakened?”

“Brother, don’t call me that, or I will not talk to you for ever” Olivia said angerly but she still continued.

“I heard that its some kind of special-type of skill. As for the details, don’t know!”

“A special-type skill” Hearing this Simon was pulled into his thoughts.

“Food is ready”

The meal was scrumptious. Simon awakening was an earth-shatter events for him and his family. They were having the day of their life.

Dinner ended really late, and after he dismissed his excited sister, Simon returned to his room and tried to absorb Astral energy.

“So, first thing first, how do I absorb Astral energy? They say that as long as one awakened, they can sense Astral energy around them and also absorb it into their body. I should be able to do it as well!”

Simon took a deep breath and completely calmed himself.

“They say first time is the most difficult and so on will become easier later on!”

“Relax, breathe and absorb”

“huhh….

“huhh…..”

A few minutes later, Simon relaxed. His breathing becoming rhythmic and his heartbeat slowed down.

Then time passed.

Suddenly, Simon saw light spot moving around him like firefly glowing in the darkness. It was flying around randomly. From then he saw more and more appearing around him.

“Is this Astral energy?”

The magical energy that brought down disaster and made the world a hellscape. At the same time, it brought hope to mankind.

Looking at the light spots, he wished to consume it.

As this thought appeared in is mind, Simon noticed the nearest light spot moving toward him and disappearing into his body.

Then more and more light spots entered into his body, filling him with this warn current that made his mind and body calm down more and more pulling him into a state of equilibrium.

“This feeling? It’s amazing”

Even though it felt good but it was slow as a snail, absorbing one by one took forever, but was not impatience, the feeling of growing stronger every second, every minute was addictive

While absorbing the “Light shot”. Time passed without him realizing it was already morning and alarm clock woke him.

“It’s already six? Time sure flies when you grow stronger”

But he did not feel tired nor sleepy after an all-nighter at all. Instead, he was full of energy and never felt better.

“Brother, are you up yet?”

His sister’s voice rang outside, and she still sounded very excited.

“I’m up”

Simon opened the door and saw his sister with black eyes, he understood that his sister all did not sleep in the night because of the excitement “Olive, you did not sleep well, did you?”

“Yes, how could I it was too excited last night” his sister yawned.

“Olive, just stay at home and sleep it will be just be tiring”

she was hesitating but she still nodded her and curiously asked “Brother, you don’t need to go to school anymore, right? You also don’t need to take college entrance examination?”

“I’m so jealous!”
