THE SHADOW VANGUARD (DROPPED) Starting a new one

In the aftermath of a devastating explosion, amidst the debris and chaos, a lone figure emerged. Unscathed by the destruction surrounding him, a baby boy lay nestled within the wreckage, his tiny form untouched by the tragedy that had befallen the once bustling streets. Rescuers, combing through the rubble in search of survivors, stumbled upon the child, a beacon of hope amidst the despair. Little did they know, they had unearthed a mystery that would shape the fate of their world. Taken in by a wealthy noble family, the boy is offered a semblance of stability and belonging. Yet, beneath the facade of familial warmth, lies a sinister undercurrent of jealousy and resentment. His new siblings, heirs to the family legacy, view him with disdain, a reminder of their own insecurities and shortcomings. Branded as an outsider, the boy struggles to find his place within the gilded walls of his new home, his lack of innate talent serving as fodder for their cruelty. Mocked and belittled by his adopted siblings, the boy endures their torment in silence, his spirit unbroken despite the constant barrage of insults and taunts. Determined to prove his worth, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, seeking out the truth of his origins and the source of his mysterious resilience. Little does he know, he is destined for far greater things than the petty machinations of his noble kin. For within him lies a power beyond measure, waiting to be unleashed upon the world. Thus begins the tale of the shadow vanguard , a saga of redemption and revenge, of love and loss, and of the eternal struggle between light and darkness.

TERROR

Alex stood in awe of the sheer power of Jonathon's might. Even though the pressure wasn't directly aimed at him, he could feel that the slight fluctuation of energy was enough to make him unconscious and even directly kill him.

" This was power and I'll do anything to obtain it no matter the cost," thought Alex

After chasing grey away, Jonathan took a look at the boy in front of him.

Standing at 5 feet 10 inches tall. He has a lean yet muscular build, weighing around 160 pounds, which reflects his rigorous training regimen. His deep-set, dark brown eyes are intense, filled with determination and a hint of sadness from the struggles he has faced.Alex's hair is a tousled mop of black, often falling into his eyes, giving him a slightly disheveled yet resilient look. His fair skin is marked by a few scars from past altercations, each telling a story of his tragic past. Despite the hardships he has endured, his face still retains a coertain boyishness.

Looking at Alex, he was impressed at the boys behavior. Even though he was bullied and maltreated his whole life, his eyes shone with pure determination and resolve that burned like fire 🔥

But Jonathan suddenly had a frown on his face. He could sense something odd about Alex. Although he was signed in as a talentless student, he could feel a slight pressure emanating from Alex, though it was feignt that others wouldn't even have been able to notice it but with his trained eyes and sharpened senses,

He could easily notice it.

So he decided to try and experiment

So he started bit by bit dropping a little bit of pressure on Alex

He didn't find anything strange at first but soon it slowly started to change and soon

His face from morphed to shock and then to fear and then from fear to terror.

At first, he didn't notice anything different but it turns out that Alex was slowly absorbing the pressure no more like say he was devouring it and by the time he noticed it,

It was too late as he had already used enough pressure to make Alex kneel. But Alex was still standing, looking at him with a confused and awkward expression.

Jonathan wanted to stop putting his pressure on him but realized he couldn't

Instead, the devouring force only grow stronger making his face turn paler by the second.

It has to be known that in this world, pressure can be known as aura and aura can also be known as life force. So in other wordsm essential using too much pressure could lead to the decrease of life force which could essentially lead to death or unconsciousness of the user. A person pressure can also go back to it's previous state after a period of time.

Jonathon's face was growing paler and so was his frieght with each passing second that he felt that he was on the verge of falling unconscious.

But before he could actually fall unconscious, the suction force suddenly disappeared as if it didn't exist at all

" ahem,."

"If there isn't anything else, I would like to take my leave" Alex said as he finally broke the long silence that had been prevailing ever since Mr grey left the room

Jonathan slowly nodded as he tried to recover from his shock.

Alex no longer wasting time immediately left and closed the door after him

After that Jonathan fell on his knees

Looked up at the ceiling and said

"What a monster"

"I wonder what the future holds for you
