"Why the hell did n't you get full marks again???", said a lady with anger fuming off her head.
"How the hell did that bitch' son get better marks than you? When are you going to learn that they are inferior to us in everything but you still carry that person's blood" ,she said to me. And then she left furiously.
This has been going on for days after days verbal abuse, physical abuse but I just couldn't satisfy her hunger to be better than my half brother. But I couldn't do anything so I directed my anger towards him and his mother.
"Is life really loving worth like this??", I said to myself.
Every day the same words repeatedly hearing has made me sick. Everyone behind me treats me like I am nothing other than a piece of shit. I just want to end it all.
So I took my body the last remaining step towards a bridge and decided to end it off. As i was not good for anything and everything neither for my parents but neither for myself. I was nothing but just a joke in this household.
As i was about to jump, I saw a man in a federo ask me, "Do you really want to die??"
I couldn't answer him but deep down I knew I didn't.
"What's the point of living if I can't even make my parents proud??" .
He laughed,"ha ha ha".
"Oh you poor child, in this world there are many kinds of people. People who are bad , people who are good. It seems like god really intended for you to suffer but don't worry the suffering will soon end", he said.
But before I could do anything he pulled out a revolver and shot me point blank in my head.
I couldn't hear anything other than the bullet penetrating my head and the sound of the cartridge falling and I just saw a infinite darkness.
...
In that darkness i saw a world very similar to ours but without any powers. People working hard day and day but still not getting any results but who is that guy who is just standing at the podium surrounded by people. Then suddenly his shadow matches my shadow it was like we were becoming one. At that point I realised oh my god he is me but how is that possible??? It shouldn't be but all of a sudden he looked at me. My body felt the horror as if it didn't want to get devoured by him. Then darkness emerged.
....
"Sir, sir are you alright???", said a man in a suit looking very worried. It felt like my body was traveling through an invisible force and suddenly I saw a very bright light spark in my eyes and I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.
....
"Ahhhh. What happened to me?? I remembered I was shot then."
"Ahhh", a pain surged in my head.
I realised that man I saw was me from my past life and what the hell happened.
From the memories, i deciphered he was a businessman who worked very hard and crushed anybody who came to hunt his friends and families. He was like a man every man aspired to be.
"Ha a pathetic life I am living.", i said.
As an anger surged in me. This woman who is called my mother manipulated me to do her bidding and a deadbeat of a father who can't even control himself.
"But at last I am back. And now with this newfound power of mine I will make the whole world kneel to me.", I said with a maniacal smile on my face.
Then an old man entered a room and said,"sir are you alright??"
He was John my most trusted servant he has been taking care of me for a long time time and because of all the stress i started treating him badly and due to which I felt really sorry.
I immediately bowed and said, " i apologise John, and please forgive me for treating you like that for some time".
"Sir why are you apologising? You have done nothing wrong. Please don't bow" he said as he was trying to hold me up.
But now I realised I will do anything to make this life as good as my previous one.
"Sir, please take rest and get some sleep. Tommorow i will pick you up", he said now about to cry.
Now I started recounting my memories of this life. My name is Aethel Vox. My father is the CEO of Vox organisation.In this world, a fraction of people gain super power which can be cultivated and become super strong.
The ranking of superpowered individuals are:-
1. Spirit gathering rank
2. Spirit core forming rank
3. Spirit forming rank
4. Spirit weapon rank
5. Spirit armour rank
6. Quasi god spirit rank
7. God spirit rank
8. Supra spirit rank
9. Spirit god rank
10. Overlord rank
Now from my understanding each rank has ten levels of understanding and every time one reached a wall he has to break through it.
So to see my rank I tried to move around my spirit. From my understanding, I am at spirit core forming rank level 3. And my spirit is red colour.
"Cool as hell."
"Now I need to cultivate patiently to gather my spirit power through the whole night. But who was that man and why did he shoot my?? And gave me my memories of previous life."
I then proceeded to sit in a lotus pose and tried to gather the spirit at my core from the surrounding to form it. I continuously collected the spirit specks with will power so that I can form my core. Slowly but steadily just like last time I will survive.
...
In the morning, I started working out again and ran up untill my body was at it's last phase. I also asked John. To bring me my laptop and make an offshore account where I can deposit my pocket money and invest.
I started to watch the news and started looking at the trend.
After going through, the companies i decided on investing on two companies.
Roombook
Sino
From my understanding roombook was just like a social media platform which existed in my previous life but in this life it doesn't exist so I started buying the shares and send them a plan on how my people can help him rent a server an help him modify the app well. To which they replied positively, it seems nobody is that interested but I knew that it was going to be a hit.
Next was sino, a streaming service which is trying to do movies and tv shows and buy the license to share it. As i thought they are going to succeed so I immediately bought their share as well.
Now I have invested about 70% of my money and I have again started working doing push ups, squats, etc.
The doctor came, and did a final examination
and informed me that I can get discharged tomorrow. So I decided to cultivate and wait for my discharge. While i was cultivating I felt some kind of wall as if my body couldn't take anymore spirit power then i immediately started focusing spirit in one part of my consciousness and forced and break the wall open.
'Ha ahh'
Now did I just reached spirit core forming level 4.
"Wooo. Hell yeah" i screamed but before I could make any moment I passed out from exhaustion on my bed.
