Chapter 1 Just an old Book

"Don't die by falling over Quinn! "A boy shouted down the hallway .

Quin carried on walking down the school corridor . Harassment had become a daily occurrence for him but it still bothered him just as much every day and he couldn't help himself but retaliate .

Quinn stopped and pushed his glasses back up as they had slipped down from his face . He needed a new pair and just from looking at them, you could tell they were heavily worn . The sides were covered with tape and they didn't even fit straight on his face .

Quinn then turned around and immediately gave the middle finger .

"I bet you don't even know how many fingers I'm holding up!"

The boy clenched his fist and started running towards Quinn .

"You level 1 piece of crap! When are you going to learn that you don't belong in this world?"

The boy then placed both of his hands together and a green ball of light started to form . When he was only a few meters away from Quinn, the boy threw his hands forward and the green light shot out from the palm of his hands .

Quinn had nowhere to go and the beam of light was too fast for him to dodge . All he could do was grit his teeth and bear the pain . As the light hit Quinn, his body was lifted into the air and sent flying backwards into the corridor wall .

"What's going on?" One of the students nearby said . "Are they fighting on the last day of school?"

A crowd had immediately formed outside as people were interested in what the commotion was about . One of the female students ran over to the damaged part of the wall to check on the student's safety .

The dust started to settle and Quinn's slightly curly black hair was coming into view . When eventually the dust all cleared up and the female saw who it was, she immediately backed away and continued her business as if nothing happened .

When the female student had returned to her friends, Quinn could see that they were laughing at her .

"I can't believe you tried to help him . "

"I didn't see who it was . " The girl retorted with flushed cheeks .

After that, Quinn stood up and picked his glasses up off the floor . Once again one of the sides had fallen off .

"Dam it . Not again . . . "

It was the last day of school for Quinn and he was hoping just once someone wouldn't try anything with him . Quinn was sick and tired of it and he wasn't the type to ignore it either . He had seen people who had chosen to keep their head down and tolerate the harassment and their treatment was far worse than what he got .

Quinn didn't bother to stay at school like the rest of the students . As he walked past, he saw people talking to each other . Some were laughing while some had tears thinking it was the last time they would ever see each other again but Quinn wasn't a part of any of that and he didn't want to be .

When he finally arrived home, Quinn immediately got to work . Quinn lived in a single bedroom apartment that had just enough space to fit a single bed and desk . There was also a TV that was part of the wall but Quinn would only use it as background noise and didn't actually watch anything .

The apartment was provided to him by the government since he had no living relatives and was still only 16 . On top of his bed was a single suit case that had all his belongings neatly packed .

When Quinn entered his room, he immediately pulled his drawer open which contained a book inside . It was a large thick book that weighed about half a kilo . The front of the book was black in colour and in the centre, it had a ring with lines going off in all different directions .

"Let's try again today . " Quinn said as he placed the book on the desk .

He then immediately went to his bag to pull out a little test tube which had a clear liquid inside .

"Test 112, Hydrochloric acid . Let's see how it goes . " Quinn then started to slowly pour the liquid out of the test tube and onto the book .

"So far no reaction . " Quinn then continued to pour the whole test tube onto the book but still there was no reaction .

Quinn carefully examined the book to see if there was any damage done but the book looked the same as always .

"Another failure . Why won't you open? Why did mum and dad even have this thing?"

One hundred twelve times . This was the number of different ways that Quinn had tried to open the book . Not only would the book not open, but it seemed like it wasn't able to be damaged either . Quin had tried burning the book, cutting the book, melting the book . . . but nothing had worked .

Quinn then went to lie on his bed and turned on the TV for some background noise . He never really paid attention to what was on but the sound of other voices made him feel less lonely .

The TV was currently tuned into the news station .

"The peace treaty with the Dalki race has lasted for five years now but officials say that tension is rising once again and we must prepare for another war… . "

The mention of war had always been shown on the TV nonstop since that day . Thirty years ago, the human race received a visit from the so-called Dalki . They looked like humans except for their dragon-like tail and scale-like skin .

They immediately demanded that the Human race hand over their resources and wanted to use them as slaves . Of course, the humans decided to fight back but they quickly found out that their modern technology was useless against them . Bullets couldn't penetrate their skin and as for tanks, well Dalki had airships .

Every man and woman was told to fight for their planet and that included Quinn's parents . The war went on for years and Quinn grew up not knowing what his parents looked like .

When the humans were on the brink of defeat, a select few came forward . These people had special abilities . They began sharing their knowledge of how they obtained such power in hopes of turning the tide in the war and it worked . Even so, the Dalki were still strong and a seemingly endless stalemate lead to the peace treaty signing five years ago .

Of course, human greed got the better of humanity and instead of sharing these powers with everyone, the higher ranked governmental officials decided to keep them for themselves . Only those with money were able to learn the more powerful abilities while everyone else was left with scraps .

Quinn was given nothing when his parents died . The government agreed to pay for his living accommodation while he was still in school but that was it . When his parents died at the age of ten, an agent appeared at his doorstep and handed him a book . He was told this was the only thing his parents possessed which they passed down when they died .

"Why is the world so unfair?"

Quinn got out of his bed and started walking over to his desk . He picked up his glasses that were still slightly broken and decided he needed to fix them . He noticed that one of the lenses was slightly out of place and tried to punch it back into its frame .

"Come on, just get in!" He shouted as he pushed down hard .

The lens suddenly smashed into pieces and one of the shards of glass created a deep gash in his thumb .

"Why does the world hate me . "

Quinn immediately started to clean up the little pieces of glass and noticed a piece had landed on top of his book . As Quinn removed the piece of glass, a drop of blood from his thumb landed in the centre of the book .

The ring around the centre of the book started to glow and suddenly the book started to lift itself into the air .

"What the hell is happening!"

The book started to shine brightly and shake uncontrollably . It finally opened up and page after page was being turned . Quinn couldn't take his eyes off the shining book as if he was in a deep trance . The words written in the book weren't in any language he had seen before but for some reason, he felt like he could understand it .

When the book finally turned its last page, it started to disappear as if it was slowly turning to dust . At the same time, Quinn's vision was starting to fade . His body felt weak and his eyes slowly shut .

But just before he passed out, there was a single message that he heard .

\u003cCongratulations you have been granted the Va . . . . \u003e

Unable to maintain consciousness long enough to hear the final words, Quinn passed out .
