Beginning of a new story 2

Start from the beginning
                                    

The young boy startled, started wrapping back the bandages he took off, Rushing toward the door.

"Hello?" Young Cale peeked out of the door.

"Cale! are you feeling better now?" asked the black haired boy, the boy averaging 10 yr. old

"Ah... yes I am.." 'Who is he?'

"That's good, you're such a good brother, taking your brother's punishment in his stead... but you shouldn't do that again, you should take care of yourself first."

"Brother..?"
'Is it perhaps him....?'

"Ah! right, you can visit him now, he had just woken up a few minutes ago."

Taking up the boy's offer, they then headed towards his 'brother's' room, chatting on their way. According to the information he gathered, the boy he is with right now is called Kim Junghoon. (This is a random name I found in google :P)

The building they are in works similar to an orphanage but completely different at the same time, the people here raises children who has potential to be a prodigy, children with great talent are treated differently to those with out much potential; There is a system that ranks children accordingly based on their potential.

'Tests' are given every 6 months to determine whether you rise through the ranks or not. The children within the lowest ranks get sold to buyers, usually used as 'slaves'; Middle rankers are treated as workers, having to do chores all the time; high rankers are sold to and adopted by rich families.

Top rankers, children within the ranks 1-10 are to freely do whatever they want, whether they want to live on their own when their age allows them to do so, or get adopted by a rich family, whatever choice they make does not matter because they will use you as one of their 'connections' saying that they raised you and is the reason for who you are now.

Do something that will annoy or anger the people with authority will result to you getting a 'punishment'.

Apparently he and his brother arrived here 4 months ago, meaning they have 2 months till' the Rank test.

"We're here." Junghoon said, the said boy is currently in the middle ranks.

"Thank you, Junghoon hyung!" Young cale said while smiling happily, watching the boy walk away.

Walking inside the room there he sees a 6 yr old boy with the similar color of red hair as him.

'It's really him...as my older brother at that..'

"...Cale Henituse?" The older boy spoke up, his eyes shook as if seeing a ghost.

"Nice to see you again, Barrow." Cale said, a smirk formed in his face.

"What- how- no- where am I?" It seems that the White thing is currently malfunctioning.

"Korea."

"Huh?"
'Kor what??'

"We are in Korea. We are in another world"

The young Barrow is stunned, not able to say anything. Cale is currently watching him with an amused face.

'hmmm.. he looks the same, he just looks a lot younger.'

Unlike Cale whose looks are completely foreign, Barrow had a hint of korean features which made him look half-Korean, which is understandable because he looked similar to Kim Roksoo's appearance.

'He wouldn't be too much of a trouble to keep around considering his Ancient powers are now gone... besides he is here because he got involved in my deal with God of Death.'

"Barrow"

"Hu-huh?" Barrow said while stuttering, it seems he is still in a dazed state.

Seeing that Barrow had his attention on him he started explaining things to his new blood related brother.

________________________________________________

It's been a few weeks, a few days till' the end of the month.
Barrow had been learning things from his newly earned younger brother, Cale.

Cale had been observing his 'older brother' these past few weeks, he had deemed that Barrow was no longer dangerous now that his curse had been lifted, but he certainly not expect for Barrow to act like a curious kid.

It seems that because his curse was lifted Barrow was now able to express his emotions better, praising how good the food tastes, always asking about the foreign things he sees, clinging to Cale because he likes how Cale pats him in the head. He is currently experiencing and enjoying things he wasn't able to in his previous lives.

They both now have been accustomed to each others presence and accepted that they are now siblings.

They have also been preparing for the upcoming Rank Test.

________________________________________________

Cale: 9 yrs. old
Barrow: 10 yrs. old

It's been 4 years since they arrived in this world, Cale had been constantly taking the 1st ranker spot every Rank test, while Barrow had been continuously shifting from middle to high rank.

"Dongsaeng~! are you going to go to the library again?" Barrow asked with a playfull tone.

"Yeah, you better study too, you don't want to drop down to middle rank again now do you?

"Haaa....studying is so boring..." Barrow said while pouting

"Yeah, yeah just don't do anything stupid again while I'm gone, if you do, I won't help you getting out of the punishment."

"Ah..! My dongsaeng is so mean!" The older boy said while dramatically wiping his non-existent tears.
"Hehe, ok ok I'll behave."

"You better"

Barrow had been getting into trouble almost half the time, which is one of the reasons why Cale had been constantly taking the 1st ranker spot, to help take his dear older brother out of trouble.

Cale was currently studying in his usual spot in the library, studying was the easiest for him considering he has his ability 'record' with him but it had draw backs, heating up from using the ability too much.

He also found out that he had Narcolepsy, a chronic disease that makes it hard for him to stay awake for long period of time disrupting his time for studies and other daily activities. Since he was a top ranker the higher ups always let's him off for skipping classes.

Cale now also has a healthier and stronger body, unlike his previous body which was frail, due to daily Forced exercise.

*boom*

*boom*

*boom*

'...?'

His heart suddenly started beating loudly, as if it came back to life... not that it wasn't alive and pumping back then.

His body felt as it was filled with a huge amount of energy, a familiar feeling enveloped him.

"...Divine energy..."

Right after figuring out what that unknown energy was, he immediately slept letting his consciousness slip away and enter his dimension.

.

"hoooh...it really is back." He is now able to access his dimension once again
"Time to blow things up" A smile crept to his face, if anyone were to see him they would definitely think that he is about to do something really evil.
