"Hey trash!" a voice roar with contempt from a distance, approaching Grey is a teenager with the same age with him wearing an arrogant smirk.

Grey pretending not to hear quickens his pace as he knows nothing but trouble is knocking at his door and not wanting to know who it this time ignored the voice ignorant of the threat behind it

"Are you deaf....... can't your hear!, beside you should be glad I still call you a trash out of respect, yet this is how you repay me!" the voice resounds again with trace of killing intent which made the onlooker quiver in fear as they look at Grey with pity

Whereas Grey didn't bulge knowing that it is only pain that awaits for him, knowing he couldn't escape -well as well resist a little.He thought feeling the end shackles of being weak

His palm soaked with sweat, even his legs are trembling as he strides the hallway of the academy with fear griping his heart.

"Do you want to die quickly, well you should have asked kindly" feeling His pride being trampled on. Rage surge as hot boiling magma in his heart, being the class bully who has always been feared by everyone for Grey not to give him face is embarrassing enough.

His eyes gleam with murder, the surrounding air Turing heavy. His nose crooked due to his rage.

The other scholar sensing the tension in the air move instinctively away from his path as they look at Grey with pity.

It is the fate of the weak, they always suffer for who knows what. It is normal for Grey who got insults as a daily motivation, bruise and injuries are no strange thing to him.

Sometimes he taught of committing suicide but not courageous to do it as for some reason there seems to be a flicker of hope in him not ready to die at any moment. Grey don't even knows the point of living as a single breathe sometimes felt like hell, always visiting the hospital with throbbing pain that all his muscles has memories as part of him.

Moreover, being an orphan with no family, love and comfort he always asks the heaven why? In his dorm room before slumber. The only thing he knows best is pain.

Still furious, the bully also as Kyle jolt himself with terrifying strength leaving a crater behind him; Something a normal human can't do leaving the crowd that has gathered because of the commotion caused the two shudder at his prowess

Within seconds Kyle reached Grey clenching his fist so hard that his muscles bulge

Suddenly something bizarre happened to his arm, it has protective layer of hard rocks on his skin.

Grey pupil shrank as the thought of death shrill-hallow, his heart pounding frequency like that of

thunder.

There nothing Grey could do, his reaction time is an ant compare to Kyle speed as the dreadful feeling increases every second .

He could only watch.

Kyle fist connected with Grey's throat like the sound of 9 atomic bomb ignited together.

The terrifying impact of blow lifted Grey midair.

Like broken kite Grey landed with a hard thud on the ground. His eyes wide open as a surge of pain floods his mind.

Suddenly, everything around him becomes blurry.....

His eyelid fluttered as he felt the unbarring weight of his limitations.

"Why..........."-Grey barely muttered as tear slither as the throbbing pain linger that his soul bled

The last thing he saw before his vision faded was Kyle smiling.

Grey as always in the hospital tending to the injury caused by Kyle earlier on. He is unconscious as the extent of the damage caused by Kyle seems to have taken a huge toil of him due to his slow recovery.

If it were someone with a lava unlike Grey, they would have recovered by now as the energy produced is many times more potent than a normal human.

It also grants them abilities beyond human wildest imagination, human strength and supernatural. Demantling all laws and calculation of physic to the grave still it remains useless. If people of the forgotten era to know it existence they will turn the world upside down just to get their hands on it.

The lava itself is a strange concept even to now as it as not been fully understood, but scientist are still trying to unfold its mystery.

Moreover, the deduction currently is the fact that the earth evolved leading to the rise of the lava. Although it is merely to be a simple deduction, It has been proven in most cases while the lives on earth undergoes a transformative genetic evolution, humankind had only a slight transformation which is the emergence of a new organ (lava) leaving unanswered question for millenniums.

Genius minds had tried to answer the questions but logics weren't concrete enough as one knowledge leads into another. However, all their observation seems to lead to one thing why human didn't have a transformative evolution like others.

Firstly, is that human had reached their limit of evolution and couldn't evolve like others lives, and if they did every lives will face the threaten of going extinct.

Secondly, is that if human evolved they themselves would go extinct. This has been the most unsettling hypothesis because others evolved safely whereas for them, they only face extinction which has left many minds cracking their mind to get a glimpse of the understanding. However it is still not vivid.

lastly, the earth felt the danger of human evolution as without evolution, they have damaged the earth more than any creature in it and led many lives into extension.

In attempt to avoid this, the earth tires as much to create a balance between lives with no superior (leader of the food web) or inferior where every living-things can grow with no hindrance of another.

This era is more cruel than the forgotten ones as death is a common thing like the sun rising and setting. The weak are slaughtered every day as they couldn't protect themselves. As though the world what to strip away the weak. Police like they used to operate before in the forgotten era stopped functioning to reduce crime as the beliefs of terminating weakness is deeply rooted in the society whereby the young generation are trained to be cruel, tough and ruthless.

And if people like Grey exist in this era well as eradicate them like killing ant.

In this world Grey doesn't belong here if he isn't strong enough then death shall mock him right in the face.

After many hours, Grey finally opens his alluring dark-pitch eyes filled with hope not ready to die soon.

His eyes trudge around like an eagle peering into the heavens with the ability to unfold the secret its hide. His intelligent mind rare for his age began processing again as the speed of lightning in the Serene sky.

In this room, he felt some familiarity as the cozy air wafted across the air giving an assurance he is safe.

"I am in the hospital....... again," Grey sigh hopelessly. It could be said to be a routine for him.

Grey decides to sit up, adjusting himself to feel comfortable with few grunts.

"ahahhaaahhhah!".

Suddenly, he felt a throbbing pain at his neck letting out a sharp scream as he recalls the scene where Kyle beat him to pulp.

"F*CK that Kyle!!!"," how could he be so extreme to attacking me at the neck. Is he insane? Doesn't he thinks of it life-threatening? Even if he is stronger than me many times why does he be always the one to send me here. This is getting too much, If this continues my point will get exhausted. Besides my visit here is often humiliating enough. I remember when he was talking about he showing me respect crap whereas he his doing the exact opposite. Even everyone has a limit. At least he should till go easy on me...............," Grey cursed harshly over Kyle action earlier, although Grey isn't a type that like cursing, but he felt good doing it to reduce his anger.

PING PING

Suddenly Grey avert his gaze towards the metallic pace(door )which a voice could be heard that state.

"Some one is at the door step,"

The metallic pace open with a figure emerging from it.

A middle-aged woman wearing a white medical attire, average height and a slender figure. Her piercing orange-coloured eye like a dragon. Chiseled jawline as sharp an ancient blade. Pink cute lips that radiates the joy of a rose and her perfectly sculpted nose. Her hair pack in ponytail that reaches her back.

She approaches Grey who beam in joy seeing her again. Her name is Emily, but Grey likes to call her aunt Emily because she has been the one to always care for him anytime he got injuries and also offering him an advice to always stay out of trouble. Something his parents should be doing.

She is always there to uplift Grey's mood whenever he is down telling him not to feel sad, but instead should be happy to be breathing than to be dead.

One time Grey got an injury that should have broken him to puzzle, he had his skull crushed just because he tried being tough, that he should start standing up for himself but reality so cruel and ruthless told him otherwise chewing him raw until he became a waste. Reminding of him worthless he is and how he is an alien despite being the same race. Then he understood how worthless, meaningless and unwanted he is to this God-forsaken world, who wouldn't glance at him if it had the chance.

The thought of committing suicide darted his mind multiple times like the constant air he breathes.

However, the image of Emily smiling at him resurfaces as though he could hear her during those moments gave him a second thought.

"Real strength isn't brute, do you want to know what real strength mean Grey.......? It's the ability to resist pressure at your last stand and yet coming out victorious everything time. You don't have show your prowess before you can be call strong Grey!!!........ Not giving up despite your circumstances is real Grey. Believe me when I say it....," her voice still echo like forgotten tongues in his mind, dream and subconscious as the word really left a great impact on Grey. As one time he shed tear like the ocean might as he really wishes his parents were here when he needed them, but now he could only wish for it not to be fantasy.

"Aunt Emily!" Grey eyes shimmer with joy with her presence being like a heavenly painkiller make him forget all his pain.

Emily looks at Grey with a sigh knowing he probably got injured then says to him "Poor Grey, you have gotten injured again!," her work filled with bits of rage.

"It seems so Aunt Emily....... If not for that bastard called kyl.... Ouchhhhh!," his words interrupted midway by her gently, yet solid knock.

"Language Grey..., " with a calm face, yet piercing eyes Emily reminds Grey who keeps wailing about how strong her hit was and in his current situation that isn't anything near comfort while she to throw a blind eye at what he said.

"Are you even listening...," slightly annoyed Grey cries.

"Oh..... keep quiet... can't you for once stop coming here with bruises everything time. Don't you know you are wasting my time!," Emily stated looking at Grey while he tilt his head down.

If I was strong, I won't be look-down. On like this. Grey clenching his fist feel the weight of his limitations.

Although Emily as always been supportive of Grey doesn't mean she won't complain, blame or criticize him for his naive actions.

She moves her hand toward Grey which started glowing white placing it on his forehead.

Although Grey had been in the hospital for many hours doesn't mean he is healed.Having no lava, Grey can't self-regenerate himself like the lav. However, the speed rate of a lav is still slow which is why there is hospital for recovery. Moreover, the time Grey spent to fully recover can take the duration of week (with the help of technology). Whereas for a average lav it could take 4 days to fully recover ( without the help of technology).

After a while, Grey is healed by Emily healing ability.Emily is a healer lav. Processing the power to restore people to health.

Thus it is a rare lav type as healer lav have to connect to the patient mind to control the body to heal itself, by which only few can do

Without looking at Grey she exist the room. Normally, a healer being a rare rank is usually crave by many people and paid higher than other medical practicionals. But Grey didn't pay her at all which is a rare opportunity for anybody. Moreover, Grey got it for free which could have been the reason for her behavior and the fact Grey doesn't appreciate it enough by always being injured often.to battle with his negative thought running fast like wildfire.

Why do I have to be weak all the time. Grey thought cleaching his fist hard that it made cracking sound as his eyes became watery, But Grey doesn't get that.
