《Circle of lavigne》 Prologue:Family I was currently standing in my backyard with my sword in hands. The blood was heavily dripping from my whole body forming a puddle under me which continued expanding swiftly. But i still stood straight one hand holds a sword which points forward,known as swift thunder stance in "my" family. The other hand was pressed on a hole in my abdomen it was just above my dantian. And she was standing in front of me... The one that took everything from me,the one who wounded me this badly and yet she still does not have a single scratch on her body. With eyes full of despise she gazes upon me,a pitiful figure covered in blood in sweat. Yes that is an invincible existence...MY sister. (Why do i have to be treated like this)is the only thing that crosses my mind at the moment I turn my gate behind me and see my father and mother looking at me with eyes full of contempt and disgust. All i tried to do my whole life is be good enough for my father and mother. I trained heavily for years so why!what did i do to deserve to be hated by my family. But those thoughts are not going to help me right now i have to focus on the situation in front of me. I looked in her blue eyes that stared at me,they were filled with contempt. A chill ran down my spine but i could not back away..not yet I will continue fighting hoping my father will accept me. Hah..hah i breathed heavily "Brother you still think you can look at me with those eyes?" "you are not even worthy of standing in my presence,if you kneel i may still spare your life?" She called me brother...yet it was apparent that she thinks of me as a stepping stone. My whole life i treated her like an older brother should i was nice to her and always helped her. What did i do to be treated like this,father,sister my family...I hate them all She wore brownish red colored dress.Even though we were fighting for hours already she was not even sweating at all. While i was bleeding and dripping with sweat. She still looked as if she were going to a banquet,i looked like a wounded beggar. This year she turns fourteen while i am going to turn sixteen soon. Not yet...we are not done yet. I swallowed the blood that built up in my throat and stepped forward forcing my body to listen to me. Her cold smile turned into mocking gaze then. "i see seems i need to teach the trash a lesson" She swiftly stepped forward and stabbed at my dantian.. even at this moment she was trying to make me as miserably as possible by destroying my cultivation. i used my sword to quickly block in front of my dantian. But then her hand just shook a little and trajectory changed quickly aiming at my hearth. I panicked and formed a small earthen colored barrier in front of my hearth. Her sword pierced through it easily and through my skin. Luckily it did not manage to pierce the bone and got stuck it in. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. I inwardly heaved sigh of relief and looked her in the eyes. She still had the mocking smile. I gritted my teeth and endured pain while using the opportunity to strike back. I opened my mouth and muttered an short incantation. ground behind her shook and few spikes shot out of it. She looked at me with belittling gaze and laughed. "you really think that is going to work brother?hahaha" She jumped in air and landed on top of the highest spike that emerged out of ground. "see the difference between us trash?" "Well i guess you are blind as well it seems" I just coldly looked up and my mouth turned into a grin. This was the opportunity i was waiting for. i knew she was going to be cocky and act like this while trying to mock me as much as possible. I lifted my palm in the air and suddenly in sky above her formed and translucent earthen colored net. She turned her head up and just laughed again. "trash that is not going to work you know?" She said in mocking tone. I know. i shortly answered and stomped the ground. Under her suddenly the spikes suddenly exploded and inflicted numerous scratches on her and ruined her clothes. The net too suddenly exploded sending many translucent brownish strips. They all lashed on her body forming even more minor wounds. I knew that this is not going to win the battle or anything.. i just wanted her to know she is not as high as mighty as she may think she is. And make her feel at least a small portion of shame i felt. I grinned and said "pretty good considering you got wounded by trash?" She looked at me with eyes full of rage and whispered in low voice. "You.. are dead" She suddenly disappeared and i could only fell sharp throbbing pain in my dantian. When i looked down i could see a thin blade penetrating it. I collapsed as i felt all my strength leaving my body. before i closed my eyes i looked towards my father and mother standing up with worried look in their eyes. But they were not aimed at me...They approached my sister and said are you ok?He managed to scratch you? She laughed a bit and answered. "dont worry trash cant wound me after all" My father smiled and answered. "lets go buy you a new dress and i will buy you something else too as reward" she answered in light voice "thank you father" My tears started flowing down my eyes as i stared at my father. he turned around and looked at me with cold eyes and muttered "trash"and left My consciousness started fading as my tears streamed down my cheeks But before i fainted i heard an archaic voice saying in calming voice "you did well young one..now rest you will be able to stand straight again soon" Chapter 1:Determination Darkness....I do not see anything,however i do feel dull pain all over my body especially around my dantian. My head hurts as if an ox was resting on it and my eyelids feel as if they are made of lead. I try to emit a groan however i am interrupted by a burning sensation in my throat.i manage to emit an soft voice in the end. "W...water.." After that i hear some footsteps and shuffling.Just as the noise fades i feel somebody grabbing my mouth and forcefully opening them. I am badly startled for a second and try to resist,but as soon as i feel cold water flowing through my throat all my resistance fades and i gobble it like a wolf that has not eaten in months. Slowly but surely i feel strength flowing through my body and nourishing my meridians. I manage to open my heavy eyelids and see an old familiar face with a sad and worried expression. The old man puts his hand on my head and sorrowfully mutters words. "oh how have i failed you...and your grandfather" His expressions lightens up a little when he sees i managed to open my eyes a little.He smiles at me and softly utters the words that i have not heard in years. "Are you feeling better" Although those words to him or anyone else may not seem special to me it has a meaning on a much deeper level.It is the feeling of someone showing concern for you. I stare at the that gentle face that i rarely see,but i know who is that.That is my gardener,my tears unconsciously start flowing and i soon start crying while looking at him. He just lightly smiles and gently looks at me while holding his hand on my head. "Let it all out,all the fears regrets and sorrow do not let any leftover emotions obstruct your path!" I start crying even more uncontrollably and burrow my head in pillow while letting all my negative emotions out of me. At that moment i swore to myself that i will never let anyone step and look down on me again no matter the difference between us! I continued crying for several hours before falling asleep again. After uncertain period of time i wake up once again. However this time i can feel strength in my body and i weakly sit on bed,when i look around my self i notice that the old man is not here right now. I feel my stomach grumble and my gaze falls upon ad plate with water jar some meat and old bread. I grab the plate and stare at the piece of meat as if it is my old enemy not waiting anymore i bite into it fiercely i quickly finish the meat and switch to bread and eat it like a hungry beast. A piece of bread got stuck in my throat and i swiftly grab jar of water and down it in one go while putting the plate on the table next to me and looking at my body. Most of it is covered in bloody bandages and somebody would easily consider me a mummy. I jump of the bed and straighten my self while ignoring the pain from my wounds opening,quickly grabbing and changing into my clothes i take my sword and put it in the sheath.

Heading towards the door i open them however in front of right now is the old gardener with a surprised look on his face,however it swiftly changes to the look of worry as he sees my bandages and blood on them. "w...wait you should not be standing yet!you are wounded" I softly look at the old man and answer with a forced smile "do not worry old man i am fine and to begin with i do not belong here anymore,my own family abandoned me,the longer i stay here the more i rot away inside" His look quickly changes to apologetic one while looking at me. "sorry for failing you,my grandfather told me to look after you however i was unable to do anything" My gaze quickly changes to a fierce one. "Not at all!You saved my life if it were not for you i would not even get a chance for a revenge,you took care of me and mended my wounds!For that i will be always grateful." Old man keeps looking at me with a shocked expression.While saying with a determined voice. "Fine since i can see that you have made your resolve,however i still need to give you something i decided to give it to you if you got your edge but if you have gone fearful and weak i would not allow you to leave" While speaking he slowly pulls out a pitch black bracelet with golden marks on it "Your grandfather told me to give you this when you are sixteen years old i do not know its uses but i do know your grandfather always considered it more important than his life." He hands it over to me and i take it without hesitation and observe it. It is pitch black color with golden carvings of some beast on it.It has a lizard like head and long whiskers its long snakelike body coils around the bracelet and seemingly holds on to bracelet with four claws,it fills me with feeling of dread and dignity. I put it on my hand and hug the old gardener while saying. "thank you for your care one day i will definitely repay you" Old man just lightly smiles and pets my back while handing me over a small pouch. "Considering that your dantian is lost you are as strong as an ordinary person so you will have to be careful,in this pouch there are few gold coins and do not even think of refusing it!i will consider that an insult!" I look at him with hesitant look but i do take the pouch since i know that i desperately need money right now. "Thank you old man i will repay your kindness one day"While saying that i decisively turn around enduring my pain moving towards the gate. From this day onward i will always keep looking forward!!
