Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 104 The Sword King! Part-2.

(Flashback, to 5 years ago from now.)

Jold district, an ordinary house, the store room.

*splash*

Cold water was suddenly thrown on the face of the sleeping boy.

He woke up with shock on his face, the cold water made him shiver and sneeze.

He had been sleeping on the floor which was already cold, to begin with, and he had been shivering the whole night from the cold, now that cold water was thrown on him he couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably.

The shivering boy looked up and found out that two young boys, with the same brown hairs as his, were standing in front of him and they both had mischievous grins on their faces:

"hahaha… that's what you deserve, trash! hahaha…"

While the boy who threw water at him was laughing at his misfortune, the other one pointed at him and said:

"Your expressions are so hilarious, I can't… hahaha"

The other kid also started to laugh at the shivering boy after seeing his shocked expression.

"This is what you deserve, trash!"

While the two were laughing, suddenly a feminine shout came from downstairs:

"Ye! Zhen! Breakfast is ready come down!"

"Yes Mother!" (Ye)

"Yes Mother!" (Zhen)

After laughing at the shivering boy for the last time, both of them left the place at the call of their mother from downstairs. But before they left they didn't forget to do one last thing.

Ye (who had thrown the cold water first with a bucket) threw the bucket on the shivering boy's face suddenly. Being caught off guard the bucket collided on his face and a small cut appeared on his forehead.

"Agh!"

"Bye bye, Brother Meng!" (Ye)

After saying that to Meng, Ye and Zhen left the storeroom with a satisfied look on their faces.

Qi Meng got up from the ground after his two younger brothers left the storeroom, he hurriedly found a Band-Aid and fixed his wound first.

"Ugh, it's so cold…." (Meng)

Meng hurriedly found a Band-Aid and with his shivering hands, he took care of his wound, first thing in the morning.

…

After He was done taking care of his wound, Meng walked towards a table nearby and grabbed the bread on it:

"I hope it hasn't gone bad yet…" (Meng)

After a little hesitation, Meng ate the bread. Once he had his fill, Meng got up and walked out of his room, he went downstairs through the stairs on the back side of the house, so that he could avoid the death stares of his father and the taunting of his mother.

Meng directly went to the garden outside, he took out his gardening tools and started to work on the flowers with his shivering hands.

But fate didn't allow his peace the weather today was exceptionally cold and since Meng didn't have warm clothes, he kept shivering and sneezing repeatedly, his frail and malnutrition body was too weak to handle such extreme conditions. (He hadn't become an awakener yet).

His luck played a horrible joke on him that day, his shivering hand slipped by mistake and one of the most expensive flower pots slipped and broke. The breaking of the pot created a loud noise, which alerted the family that was having a peaceful breakfast inside the house.

Before Meng could do anything, a middle-aged man walked out of the house and caught him red-handed. Even though the weather was cold, Meng started to sweat and a chill ran down his spine.

"Um.. thi-this…um… f-father…" (Meng)

"YOU ABSOLUTE PIECE OF BUL*SH*T! F*CK*NG TRASH!"

The man directly punched Meng in the stomach and with the immense force from the attack of his father, who is a D rank awakener, Meng flew away and collided with the wall.

Meng fainted directly, on the spot, from the impact of that attack.

…

(The next day)

The Qi household. Morning

Meng's father talked to an unknown guest with a smile on his face, while Meng stood beside him with a swollen face and a bruised body. His clothes looked like a beggar's, they had become certainly more tattered than before.

"Yes, our family conditions have been bad… that's why I request that Mr. Markus, please take this child to your orphanage…" (Meng's father)

Mr. Markus cautiously took the money from Meng's father's hands and hurriedly stuffed it in his pocket.

"Cough! Well if you are insisting so much Mr. Qi, then I would have no other choice but to accept this pitiful child in our orphanage." (Markus)

Markus waved at his bodyguard lightly.

"B-but fa-father…" (Meng)

"SHUT UP!" (Mr.Qi)

The bodyguard caught Meng and effortlessly took him away.

Meng was sent to an orphanage and even after leaving that hell of a home, his bad luck still did not go away, he was targeted by bullies in that orphanage and was beaten half to death several times.

The staff of the orphanage didn't care about anything they only cared about how to get more money. Some of the staff members took bribes from the bullies and simply turned a blind eye to Meng's situation.

…

(4 Year's, 8 months Later.)

The backyard of the orphanage.

"ugh! Cough! Cough!... am I… going to die… today…" (Meng)

Lying on the ground with a wounded body and blood flowing from his mouth and head, Meng wondered to himself if this was the end of his suffering, if this is how he would die.

As his eyes started to blur, his miserable life flashed before his eyes:

'I don't want to die yet… if only I was strong enough…' (Meng)

The bullies had several members who had awakened and had promising futures ahead of them, he as an ordinary human was simply powerless against those superhuman-like kids.

Thinking about it, only one thought swirled in his head, he needed 'strength' to change his fate for the better.

'I need strength… yes! I must become strong and carve out my destiny!' (Meng)

As if the heavens had heard his determination and had recognized his will, Meng immediately got his way to greatness and opened that very moment.

A blue floating panel appeared in his mind, and with a robotic voice, Meng finally heard the words that changed his destiny forever.

[Ding! Your strong will has caught the attention of the heavens itself!]

[Ding! Your wish for strength has been granted!]

[Ding! Awakening Mana 10%...50%...100%... complete!]

[Ding! Mana enters your body and blesses you with its warm embrace!]

Meng suddenly felt a mysterious energy enter his body, the blurriness of his eyes faded away, his mind cleared and his body started to heal, automatically.

"Th-this!!" (Meng)

Meng's eyes widened in shock and a bewildered expression appeared on his face. It was just too difficult to comprehend this sudden turn of events for him.

[Ding! You have been fully healed by the blessing of Mana!]

[Ding! Calculating status…53%... Complete!]
