Chapter 4: I became a Slave
[: Daniel POV :]
Another six years had passed.
From five to eleven, the world did not grow kinder, but I grew stronger.
The pain never stopped, and the chains never loosened.
Even the whip never missed, but in between the bruises, I found pieces of something worth living for, them, my family.
Caelira, Rika, Marnok, and Kiel weren’t just people I endured hell with.
They were my light in this abyss, a reason I had lived for.
For someone who had lived on Earth, my mind and will weren’t strong enough to endure this harshness.
Even though I had the incurable disease, it wasn’t this bad, and I discovered that all of my abilities could only be awakened once I had gone through the age of awakening.
A process that every living being will go through once they have reached 12 years old.
And I had only reached 11 years old.
Nonetheless, even after 6 years had passed, they had never changed at all.
