"Hurry up! He's losing a whole lot of blood!"
"Where the fuck is the surgeon! Hey you, get me the Blood Suppressor!"

"The operation was successful but due to intense exposure to the flames, he has lost his eyesight. Where are his parents?"
"They both died in the car crash." A voice said in a teary voice.
"What a pity. Anyhow, who's going to foot the boy's bills?" The entire room became quiet.

"Sir please! This is the only thing I keep as a remembrance of my parents! You can't seize it!" A little boy begged amidst tears.
"Piss off you blind piece of sh*t! Unless you pay back the Ð25,000 Credits you owe us, don't ever step your foot into this house!" A robust physique man voiced out in a spiteful tone and kicked the twelve-year old blind boy.

"I don't know how, but this kid…. He has money making potential. Why don't we put him to good use, eyy?"
"Hmm…. Okay then. Put him within the tour guides."

"Ahhh!" Sitting upright, Archeon was drenched with his own sweat. His breathing unsteady and his heart racing rapidly.
He inhaled and exhaled deeply, puffing out cold breaths from his mouth. He unconsciously let out a slight groan as a result of the splitting headache he suddenly felt due to the fact that his dreams replayed in his head like a broken recorder.
He struggled to get up from his sweat-soaked bed while the headache ravaged his senses. Everything in his sight was pure black but somehow due to his heightened senses that were on par with Spirit Sense of Establishment Circle experts. He found his way into a moderate bathroom, had a quick bath and hurriedly wore his clothes.
He stepped out into the morning sun, heaving heavily.
"Good morning, brother Arch!" A little girl's voice greeted Archeon.
"Hmm? Oh! Hey Zara! How're you doing?" Archeon moved closer to the five-year-old girl, crouched to her height level and gave her a little pat on the head.
"Hey! I've always told my brother Arch not to pat me, I'm a grown up now!" Zara harrumphed, folding her hands, trying to feign anger while internally enjoying the pat.
"Sorry Elder Zara, this junior acknowledges his mistake." Archeon did a pretend bow while saying with a tone of solemnity.
"Hmm!" Zara harrumphed. "By the way, brother Arch, Sir Thorgin said you have to visit the restaurant early today…. I don't know but he sounded very…"
"Don't worry about that. Your big bro got this." Archeon said with a light smile. "Jenna, transfer Ð100 Credits to 57***921." Archeon said while moving a futuristic-looking watch near his mouth.
[Transfer to 57***921 Successful. Current Balance: Ð5,532]
"Wah!? Brother Arch! There's no need for that! I still have the Ð500 Credit you sent me last week. I…" Zara was about to say
"You will need it more since your Cultivation Talent Awakening is one week away." Archeon moved closer to Zara, playfully dragging her cheeks.
"But…"
"No buts Zara. Don't you want to surpass Jake and Catalina?" Archeon asked. He could sense Zara fluctuating emotion.
"Brother Arch…" Zara spoke in a voice that seemed like she was about to cry. "Thank you, Brother Arch. I promise that I will work very hard and surpass Jake and Catalina and I will be very very strong to take good care of you." She proclaimed with her fist clenched.
"Now that's the Zara I know. Well, tell Uncle Bennie that I've left for work." Archeon said as he waved Zara goodbye.
"Bye-bye brother Arch!"
Archeon breathed out heavily as he left Zara. This was his day-to-day life. He had lost his in a car accident and got blind in the process. He had no family relatives who wanted to help him and even his parents house was taken away by the loanshark whom he had borrowed money from to pay his medical fees.
Amidst his misfortune, he met Uncle Bennie, a cab driver, who decided to help him. Uncle Bennie took him to Madame Monique who ran a local bar. Madame Monique, being a very cunning and manipulative woman, employed him from the age of twelve to act as a 'mobile map' for cultivators who entered Secret Realms and Dungeons. Making Uncle Bennie think she was a good woman, she cheated Archeon of his initial pay which was Ð2,500 Credits per week, giving him only a small amount of Ð1,500 Credits.
Archeon wasn't too dumb to figure it out as a year later, Madame Monique built a three-storey restaurant that screamed luxury in the entire City Region. He wasn't also dumb to leave all his Credits in his account as he was only a Level Two Citizen of Sven City, making his security less tight and more vulnerable to hacks, so had one of his computer geek friends to help him build a personal wallet only they could utilize. Funnily, a group of person heard of it and decided to indulge in the wallet and before half a year, 50% of people in Cutt Region already knew about a wallet coin known as Blink. With about 300,000+ individuals purchasing his coins, Archeon had become a person who held millions of Credits in assets and by the age of sixteen-year, Archeon had accumulated 1,000,000,000+ Credits in profits from Blinkcoin.
He couldn't openly claim he had such an amount due to many reasons so he kept silent about his real wealth. He lived his low-key life perfectly and wasn't going to ruin it due to pride.
"I'm heading to Monique Exquisite. Air route for faster movement." Archeon told the cab man who had signalled to.
"Air route pay's kinda heavy," The cab man said. "You sure?"
"Yes…. I would like to arrive at my destination in five minutes. I'm kind'a late today and I can risk losing my job." Archeon mentioned.
"Okey dokey, kid!"
[Five minutes later]
Archeon stepped into the brightly lit hall of 'Monique Exquisite'. Though he couldn't see, he knew that his current environment screamed extravagance. He moved quickly to the receptionist who was busy attending to a teenager.
"Your room is B3. Equipped with all your needs. I hope you enjoy your stay at Monique Exquisite." The receptionist gave a wide smile that displayed her white sets of teeth while handing the keys to the brown-haired teenager who was dressed in luxurious brands of clothes. Not even paying her any attention, he left the table. "Arrogant pricks!" She cursed him in a whisper.
"Hey Sui!" Archeon appeared before her, startling her a bit.
"Oh! Hey Arch! What's up! Hear to see Sir Thorgin?" Sui, an acronym for Suisun, cheerfully greeted Archeon.
"What's up! Yep…. Here to see the old man. Is he around?" Archeon asked Sui who seemed to be blushing a little bit. Though he could 'see' and sense his environment, there were some limitations to his 'seeing' and sensing.
"Yes he is. He's currently with Madame Monique." Sui rested her chin on her palms while gazing at the incredibly handsome teen in front of her.
"Wait, what! Madame Monique is here!?" Archeon suddenly exclaimed. "Her presence is anything but good. Shit! Now I know why Zara saw him this morning."
