1 Unlucky Bucky ×_×
{ Third person POV }
Right now, on a rainy day, people are running fast on the streets. some were running for work, some were running to reach their homes, and some were taking shelter in cafes and restaurants to avoid the rain.
but none of them paid attention to the person sitting on the pavement with his back to the wall and soaked by the rain.
The main reason for this was that the person was no different from a homeless person, wearing a torn and dirty T-shirt and equally dirty and torn pants. He didn't even have a shoe on his feet. he was wearing an old sandal with a torn side, which at first glance appeared to have been taken from a dumpster.
As for his face, his long black hair, wet from the rain, covered his face, but he doubted that anyone even wanted to see his face.
Because the only thing to see was dead fish-like eyes and cheekbones showing on his face with hunger. This person was none other than 16-year-old Bucky, who had been living on the streets for a year.
Many may wonder how he got into this situation Bucky had a family like everyone else.
but this situation lasted until he was four years old. He and his family were in a car accident, but he was the only survivor of the accident.
His parents died in the accident and because he did not have any close relatives, his custody passed to one of his distant relatives, but he did not have a life as he thought.
His 11-year life was like hell for him, and his relatives saw him like an insect.
he was often starved, so his body was weak unlike most.
And because he was given a basement to sleep in, his nights in the cold resulted in him being diagnosed with long-term "Chronic pulmonary pneumonia", which caused him to cough up blood constantly.
On top of that, he was constantly beaten and there were many bruises and scars on his body, and his relatives were constantly dressing him in long-sleeved clothes to avoid any problems. and he had no one in his life whom he could call close.
He was seen as the oddball for being quiet all the time at school and later added to his illness.
This caused people to avoid and stay away from him. This situation continued until he was 15 years old.
And the reason why he ran away from home and fell on the street,
[ Flashback no Jutsu ]
Bucky started to walk home from school as usual, of course, if it can be called home for him, it was no different than a slaughterhouse for him.
anyway, when he reached the slaught... home he went straight to the place called his room to do his homework.
After doing his homework, he spent his time in his room watching an old TV, which was of course until he heard a voice calling him.
"Oii! BUCKY YOU BASTARD, WHERE ARE YOU? COME HERE QUİCKLY"
Bucky slowly walked up the stairs and saw the man calling him a bastard, with a belly big enough to be called fat and a bald head that could reflect his face like a mirror.
The man was drunk at first glance. Bucky walked slowly and stood in front of the man without saying a word.
"Oh, you finally came, you dandy "
*Slap*
He slapped Bucky hard as soon as he finished speaking.
*Slap*
"PuuHahahhahaha" the man was laughing as he kept hitting Bucky
"I've been feeding you since you were little, you're alive with my money. If it weren't for me, your body would have been found in a dumpster already. So be a useful punching bag for me!
"Why!?" Bucky clenched his fist as he was hit. he thought, why has he been going through something like this for years? Why is it him and not someone else? What kind of evil has he committed that he is doomed to live this miserable life all these years 'But this is the end I won't go on living like this' Bucky thought as he clenched his fist
Bucky stood up abruptly and said, "ENOUGH!" shouted loudly
The bald man took a few steps back, afraid he wasn't expecting Bucky's sudden outburst.
"WW..what are you..what do you think you're doing? You're going to bite my hand that fed you?" the man told Buckeye, frightened.
He like most people, only sees himself high to the weak, but to those who are strong enough to oppose them, they are nothing but cowardly scumbags.
Bucky walked slowly towards the bald man, and the bald man took a slow step back with every step he took.
When Bucky finally came in front of the man, without saying anything, he punched the man in the jaw with all his strength, and the sudden punch to the jaw caused him to fly backward, losing a few teeth.
"ARGHHHH!" He cried out in pain, "YY.. YOU JUST HIT MM.. ME!?" he stuttered
But Bucky didn't stop. He jumped on the man and started throwing punches in the face, one after the other.
He kept hitting and hitting to make up for the pain of all 11 years until the man lost consciousness with blood on his face.
When Bucky woke up, both his fists were covered in blood, he slowly got up from the man and looked at the man who had tortured him for years. It didn't matter anymore, but he wouldn't be here anymore
so he collected all the money he could find in the house. and taking a few clothes from his room, he went out of the house and started running away from it.
[ Flashback Ends ]
A year has passed since then, and Bucky has spent his life on the streets, becoming what he is today.
At first, he started living by working a few jobs but was constantly dismissed due to his illness, and eventually, no one gave him a job. And when he finally ran out of money, he fell to the streets.
he searched for a place to stay, he searched for food to eat, he searched for a place to sleep, he dealt with vagrants, and finally, he came to this day. hungry, drenched in the rain, Bucky knew he didn't have much time. even now his illness was so painful that it kills him.
{ Bucky POV }
"I'm Hungry and Cold and I'm sick..*Cough**Cough*...not getting better, at least I wish I had a hot meal before I died," Bucky said as he looked at his coughing bloody hand
With a last effort, Bucky stood up slowly and entered a narrow, rain-drenched alley. He saw a garbage container overflowing from garbage bags on the street, walked towards him, lay down next to him, and put his back to the wall. And he tried to keep himself warm by stacking garbage bags on top of him.
"I guess..*Cough* I won't see tomorrow," Bucky said as he started to warm up under the garbage bags
'And so I can say goodbye to this shitty life. I didn't want too much anyway, I just wanted to live happily with a family that loves me, do I want that much?' thought
*Cough* *Cough*
Bucky's eyelids started to close slowly as he had a coughing fit, and as soon as he closed, a sound came to his ear, and he opened them again.
[ PRESS THE BUTTON FOR YOUR LAST CHANCE IN LIFE! ]
Bucky was stunned when he saw the text and the red button while rubbing his blurry eyes.
He then tried to touch the text to check if it was real but his hand touched the red button and the text disappeared in an instant and instead, it began to spin to show the same three symbols, similar to the slot machines he had seen on TV. and when it last stopped three things came out each different thing
[Winter Soldier] :
Winter Soldier physiology, combat power, and overall combat experience
The first icon was that of a very cool-looking man with an iron left arm and a mask on his face.
the second was an icon that looked like a red helmet and there was a description underneath both
[ magneto power ] :
Magnetism ability, they can control metals. [ limited ]
By the third and last, there was only one question mark and an explanation next to it.
[?] [ Aether Infused with Neurotech Chip ] :
An artifact that becomes a part of the body and transforms into any weapon the owner desires [ Formless Weapon ] { Mystical } { Legendary }
[ A/N: Anyone who reads "The novel's extra" will know about Aether. ]
"..."
The icons and inscriptions that Bucky encountered suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed.
Bucky rubbed his eyes again to check if he was dreaming, but saw nothing, thinking it was a hallucination from hunger, and again fell asleep, slowly closing his eyes to the sound of the rain falling in the garbage.
[ A/N: This is not a system and will not be, just the part that will indicate the source of MC's powers ]
