1 Strange bracelet

'Damn it, why does it supposed to be always me?' Xander cursed in his mind, as the bull type beast running to his direction. The beast itself was two and a half meter tall with three eyes, two by it's head sides and one above it's nose, two long canine sticking from it's mouth while horns were bent forward and it's legs which looks like that of a lion.

"Holycrap! Xander watch out!" Orson shout out Xander as he sprinted toward him.

Xander tighten his grip to a spear as he run to another direction as fast as he could.

'Shit! It's quite faster than I thought, it can even reach me in no time, I have to do something' Xander thought.

As he thought, an idea kicked in his head, and a smile formed on his face. He then swiftly jump, when still mid air he spin around, and when right at the perfect angle he threw his spear right to the beast. When the spear hit the beast, it done almost to nothing as the beast knocked it away with ease.

At the time Xander dropped to the ground, the bull type beast reached him in an instant and thrust Xander with it's horn and threw him to the side.

He hit the ground, and then his vision blurred before darkness engulf his eyesight.

Xander woke up in a familiar room, it was small by it's size with a bed and a medium sized table with full of different types of books. The room was full of mess as clothes were splarted all around the floor.

And that was Xander, he was a type of a careless person who know nothing rather than survival.

He pushed himself away from the bed so that he can sit. There was neither any visible injury nor pain at all, he felt just feet as he usually would.

Before he can sort out his thought clearly, he heard a door knob twisted and then, the one getting in was no one else but the one he used to hunt with.

'Just as usual, he always came at the right time. It's like he know I have woken up' Xander sighed in his heard as his brother getting inside.

Orson was a well built man who always wore a knowing smile. He has a tight vest with purple color joined together with a hood. His clothes fit him well as they reveal his work out body. He was quite a handsome with a well short red hair and azure eyes. Just by looking at him, he was in his middle twenties.

"Seems like my little brother has woken up." Orson said with his usual knowing smile. "You should prepare yourself, today is the official day in which the academy receives new recruits, you should be ashame to be on a bed untill now."

"After all you shouldn't worry after the incidence of yesterday, you were luck to get any serious injury. I also applied some medicine just with imergence case. I am sure you are fit as how you used to be."

"Shit!...did I passed out since yesterday?" Xander was stunned with his mouth wide open. For one, he has not inflected a serious injury from the beast attack and secondly, he has never passed out before and for suddenly to pass out for this long whike he didn't suffer any injury? When he looked at his watch, it was 2:07 pm and the academy will stop receive students at 4:00 pm so he have atleast two hours to be in the academy.

"I have to go...!" Xander said as he run in the bathroom to take shower.

After a while he came back and put on his clothes ready to leave. He looked at his wrist where he had a black bracelet with strange pattern running around it. 'I wonder, do I have to wear this bracelet all over my life? It seems like a type of magic thing... It's just can't get away off my wrist. It surely sucks.'

When he finish everything, he get out of the room and found his brother laying on what looks like a sofa. As though he has not see him, he get out and start running to the academy.

"Did he really just leave?" Orson murmur while inspecting through the window, he saw Xander stepping on a teleportation circle before he vanished. Orson let out a big sigh before he proceed with whatever he was doing.

***

It has been fifty years since the introduction to arcana and the beast. The world's system had to change so it can adapt the new changes.

Sometimes, wars erupted here and there, since there were those who believed that the strongest should rule the weak while others fought for their freedom and so.

The world had gone through many difference changes till date, multiple scientist had gone through different research which lead to division between the human territories and the beast territories, since the beast never stop to evolve and thus attacking humans non stop.

Existing from the teleportation circle was Xander. Now that the Academy was nearby, he walked to.

The academy has multiple storey building, where as the administration building was written with BIG capital letter 'ARCANA AWAKEN ACADEMY'. Arcana inside humans always awaken when ones has reached 13 years old, there was a common way in which one could unlock their arcana and which was through hardships or pushing ones body past their limits.

Xander was now 15 years old, and since this was one of the qualification to enter the academy, he was now here. Most of the kids in this age have unlock their arcana, while for some reason Xander hasn't. He wasn't alone, but still a chance to encounter with someone who haven't unlock their arcana was rare.

For Xander's case, he had been struggling for so long with the help of his brother but still failed. So the only hope remain was in the academy.

Reaching at the reception area Xander met a woman with long bronde hair tied in pony tail, she wore a short dark red gown with some strands of white line and what she wore at the legs were black stockings. Her body shape together with her outfit gave out a captivating feature.

"Hi!" Xander greated a woman in the reception.

She was stunned a little by the lack of respect but then, she choose to go on with it.

"Hi, are you here for registration?" The woman replied to Xander.

"Exactly"

"Give me your full name" The woman asked as she wrote down.

"Xander Vinn" He replied.

"Age?"

"15"

"Arcana type?" She asked again

"None"

The woman frown for some reason before proceed again. After all she gave Xander some documents to sign, when he was over, he was given a watch.

Looking at the watch and the building infront of him, she smiled, just when he was about to move.

"Follow the corridor, it will lead you to your quarters. Your watch will show you the number of your room." she said pointing to the direction of the corridor.

Xander chuckled realising that, he was about to without know where he was heading.

'He is weird.' A reception woman thought.

He walk slowly wondering how on earth is there a good place like this which shone with bright light every corner, it's like it can never get night. The large building and different kind of marble makes it even more attractive.

Suddenly, the bracelet lit up before the light vanished, and from then, it starts to dim with white colour before a strong wind came from nowhere blowing with strong force.

Before he realize he was lifted a little from the ground and float at place while a strong white light which block hinder his vision continue to shone even more bright.

The white light looks to be surrounded if not mixed with a dark aura, thus it was dimming.

Just then a notification like system prompted right infront of his eyes.

[You have acquire a Strampire system]

Then, the white light was overwhelmed by darkness as his ears were dulled.
