Power Up

In a world which your future is determined at birth, the world was awfully broken. The wealth and power went towards those with amazing talent and those with barely any were discarded. The history of the world was filled with slavery, poverty, and reckless decisions. People with extraordinary future ruled the world with an iron fist, and were the most notable people of their time. Some people like <name1> and <name2> to name a few lived like kings with the world at the palm of their hand, literally. These people were usually able to use magnificant power which was utterly otherworldly. They had the power which one would describe as the power of a god. They were able to roam the lands unchallanged and feared. They were able to get anything they desired.No one would ever oppose those with power, since it was common knowledge that those who did, died in the brutalist way. As time continued to tick, however, these powerful beigns had the curse of death grip them, forcing them to repopulate to keep another generation alive. This caused heavy division lines withing the population, which were as followed: The worthless, which had no future, the decent, which had enough of a future to live well, and the powerful, which were the god like beings. There was an over population of worthless people, which was usually caused by them breeding within themselves, which never allowed for their power to be raised. There were rare cases of the classes achieving the next level of power.Whenever those from the worthless class were found having a powered child, it was usually taken by the class, or in extremely rare cases, those in the powerful class. The ones who were taken were either trained for their potential, and usually made to believe they were from that family, or courted by that family, never telling them who their family was. There was also cases in which certain individuals were kicked out of their family due to them being less than their class. In one of the middle class family there was a happy couple. They were expecting a child which would hopefully live a peacefully life.They had been waiting for this time for so long that they were overly excited to have their child. Their excitement grew when they found out they had triplets, only for that excitement to be crushed by their first born. Their first born, who had been named Leo, had turned out to have virtually no future, their second born, Rosalie, had turned out to be a decent future, and zach, the last child, had been determined to have an amazing future. Within minutes of zack's birth, some powerful families showed up to have this child in their grasp. The parents were bombarded with demands that they hand over their child to that specific family otherwise they would destroy them.With rather lightning speed thinking, the father asked if they could come back once their child had enough intelligence for him to pick for himself, since they would essentially have their chance at the kid. The powerful families had decided to humor the family and agreed.The hands of time ticked and the parents spent their time with both children, excluding the first born, and made the importance of zack known once he turned ten. They trained both of their children, with zack understanding the training faster than his sister, and being able to learn more than she could. Leo, had to sneak in to learn some of the lessons, in which he would get caught and beaten.Once they were fifteen, the families returned and offered their proposal to zack. He pondered on which family to study under since they were of the highest caliber in the powerful class. Zack eventually settled on a lady who seemed to have a lot more to her than she let on.Everyone was ready to argue, but when they took notice of who was the person he chose, they all shut up quickly, for she was known as the most powerful beign within that class. And so, Zack left with the old lady, leaving Rosalie, Leo, and their parents.Once they all left, they were ready to dump Leo in with the worthless class, who was sorrowfully looking down. Rosalie interviened, and managed to persuade her parents to let her brother stay with them. This shocked everyone, seeing as how they always treated Leo as nothing, they assumed their daughter would pick up on that, but instead, here she is, defending her brother."Alright, we'll let him stay, however, he has to do all the chores and meals in this house. Is that understood" Their father spoke, with the authority of a middle classed citizen. While this didnt have any affect on Rosalie, Leo heard it like a shout from god, with a booming voice resonating in his ears."Y-yes" He spoke hurredly to hopefully be let go and go back to his room, which was just a mattress in a cold, empty room. Rosalie look at her brother in pity, seeing as how she had just gotten him a harsher fate than going down to the worthless people.For three months, everything was going great, until Leo started to come out of his room later than usual. This didnt bother the parents seeing as how they still didnt have to do anything, but Rosalie knew something was up.For two more months this kept up until Leo stayed even longer. He would show up half an hour after breakfast was supposed to be ready and did things sluggishly. This caused the ire of their parents, however, Rosalie now knew something was wrong.The next day, she got up early and headed for her brothers room, which she personally, had never seen. When she opened the door she was shocked by the emptyness and lonelyness that the room held. In the matress, a single figure was laying down, with an anguished expression on his face.Rosalie tried to wake up her brother, only to step in to an illusion who was cast by an unknown person. In it, it depicted Leo stuck in a cell, forced to watch as his parents and sister perish under his younger brother's attack, all while he stays alive to bear it. When she tried to break the spell, the depiction of Zack changed, and turned towards her. Leo took notice of Zacks change aswell and turned to see who it was, only to see his sister there. Now, originally, Leo had taken this abuse with little damage, since he had known that most of it was a fabrication, but seeing his sister there next to the cell which trapped him told him this was no longer a fabrication.Leo struggled effortlessly, trying to break out fo the cell, or maybe just stop his brother from reaching his sister, but it was all useless. Once his brother neared his sister, the illusion faded, like it usually did, with the exception of his sister now laying on the ground. Leo hurridly tried to wake up his sister, but that hadn't worked. He then checked her pulse, and nearly fainted at how low it was. He hurredly ran to his parents room, who, once woke, tried to kill him, and got thier help to save Rosalie. When they tried to undo the illusion which had passed on to Rosalie, it also affected them. Leo, distraught, didnt know what to do, so he tried to wake them up, only for him to be transported back into the illusion, back into the cage.He then had to witness his parents fruitlessly fight their brother, who had leveled up greatly from the last time they had seen him. Thier parents perished within seconds, but, do to his evil nature, he left both Rosalie and Leo, stuck in the same illusion, doomed to repeat forever. They tried to leave the illusion only to be denied. Rosalie was trying to use her magic as much as she could, but could do nothing, while Leo tried to either break the cell, or use whatever speck of magic he could.As time repeated in this illusionary barier, Zack left on a killing spree of middle class people and once he had wiped them out, left towards killing every powerful class being, with the exception of his trainer.Before he left towards the powerful massacre, however, he decided to bind his siblings to the space in between reality and nothingness. Back in the temporal illusion, they struggled enlessly trying to free themselves, however it wasnt without a price. Rosalie, after the fiftieth loop, she had given up all hope, and turned dull, which caused her brother much despair. He tried every loop to leave, hoping that once they are gone, his sister would return back to being a happy and cheerful self. He strained his body and the speck of power he could, ripping all his muscles and his magic over and over again, building muscle once it was repaired in the loop.He continued to struggle, gaining power, and losing some of his rational in the process. He struggled within the power, wishing to leave, and wishing for revenge against his brother. But it was fruitless since nothing ever changed. After enough cycles had passed, he could finally use a bit of his magic in order to create Homonculi, which would try and aid them. He started to focus on doing this. His sister, watched his with lifeless eyes, wondering when he would give up."hey, Leo, when are you going to give up?" She asked calmly, hoping that he would give up."I wont give up. I... I will free us... I will personally make Zack regret doing this to us... to you! I wont allow you to lose hope... Now... either stay there or help me, since that is basically all we can do." Rosalie, not believing him, went back to simply staring at the illusions surroundings, which shifted in order for them to always see zack killing their parents, over and over again.
