My birthday’s in 2 days, so I will turn 10 and awaken.

I can’t wait.

Awakening comes with my first basic skill, I hope I get something good going into 5th grade...

----------------------------------------

I hear them whispering about me… It’s only natural that they know my birthday is coming up.

“Yo, Jayden! You’re birthday’s tomorrow, right?” Someone asks me.

“Yeah, I’m so pumped… I know I’ll be a killer next year.”

“Wish you the best of luck dude!” He says.

I was feeling confident.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Maybe I felt too confident.

I couldn’t sleep that night... I couldn’t wait for my awakening. I needed to bring the Luo clan to new heights! My future was looking so bright…

I was blinded and couldn’t see the darkness that truly awaited me.

----------------------------------------

I woke up and didn’t feel any different.

That’s strange, I should be able to sense and take in Shen Qi now…

I started to panic. No basic skill, no awakening, nothing…

My dad came in my room.

“How’s the cultivating going?” He asked.

I dropped to my knees.

“Dad.”

He looked at me, confused.

“I can’t…”

“You can’t what, son?”

“I can’t cultivate…”

He looked startled.

“Oh god… let’s go take you to see a doctor…”

Oh god is right. What did I do to deserve this? I’ve waited all my life for this moment just to crush all my dreams. I was going to be somebody! I had so many expectations placed on me! I can’t let everything slip away like this!

No….

I skip school that day.

----------------------------------------

“You’re probably just a late bloomer, many people get their awakening many days after their 10th birthday,” the doctor tells me.

I’m scared for my life. “What if I don’t ever awaken?” I ask him.

“That has never happened in all of history, you’ll be fine.”

I might have just made history.

That night, I read books on how to seem powerful. I don’t get any sleep.
