Chapter 4: Disrespectful Reality
…
The statue start shaking and a girly voice echoed in the main hall, "Is it you? How long have it been? Dear…"
Dao Li get scared and stepped back but slip and had to sat on the floor. He was unable to do anything, the aura of the sound was magnificent but Dai Li was an unawakened being unable to sense anything around him.
Just then the girly voice came again, "Huh, it's strange…"
The girly voice paused for a while and then spoke again, "Oh, now I understand! It will take time but it doesn't matter anymore if you are here."
Then a slash sound echoes in the hall and a cut can beat seen on Dao Li's left cheek and a drop of blood fell down. But before it could touch the ground it disappeared mysteriously.
The girly sound echoed again, "Hehe, now we will have our first 'miracle'. Ha, it's a relief now. I should go now, we will meet again. Dear…"
Suddenly the girly sound vanished. Dao Li wait for sometimes may be if it appear again but fortunately it not. Dao Li who has closed his eyes in fear, open them and saw that there was a white shining ball who was sucking everything near it.
He didn't think much, he believe on his instincts. He get up and ran outside the shelter. While running he turned back to look at the shabby shelter. He didn't know how he came at that shelter. He only remember the cave and flickering scenes.
Dao Li could clearly saw the main gate on which there was written in big letters "Rising Moon Empire". They was that big that even a blind man could see. At a glance the shelter soon was devoured by the white ball. It was like a black hole, after devouring the shabby shelter the white ball started devouring itself, till it got vanished. All left behind was just a grassland.
Dao Li run faster and didn't look back as God of Badluck would curse him with badluck again.
"Dear? My foot. I am good alone better than with a ghost of a haunted shelter." Dao Li said.
After running for two hours Dao Li had no longer stamina and fell on the ground. He wasn't even in the condition to move his limbs. After sometime Doa Li hardly sat on the ground.
Dao Li saw the couple of sheets in his hands which was folded, and opened them to read it, may be there is something useful which can help him in this situation.
As he opened the sheet he found it blank. His eyes widened and he was in shock, "How could this happen? Wasn't there words before?"
Dao Li hopelessly throw the sheets away and lie on the ground. But when the sheets fell on ground a miraculous thing happened.
The sheets start shining in golden light, Dao Li look at the sheets as he saw some sort of light coming from that side.
Dao Li can't even express his expression, before that the sheets turn into small pieces and covered him from every single spot.
The paper pieces of sheets start turning into a golden liquid and entering inside his body through his skin. While this process Dao Li was having a had time, trying of indure the unbearable pain which was coming out of his screams.
After an painful process Dao Li was lying unconscious on the ground. With a little movement in his fingers, he started getting conscious again.
Dao Li stood up and caught his head and said in a low voice, "I-I am alive. That was painful…"
Dao Li who had just stood up even in a condition like this, when he was feeling dizzy, he saw a notification floating in front of him, which made him shocked.

'How can I awaken without a evolution crystal? Did the paper sheets work as a evolution crystal?' Dao Li was in shock.
According to the researchers there was no other way for a being to awaken on their own. But then how can Dao Li could awaken from a mere paper sheets.
"Hah! Leave it at least I am awakened now. But now as I am awakened, what should I do to this evolution crystal?" Dao Li look at his Sea of Spirit where was unused and untouched evolution crystal.

Dao Li was unable to think further so, he stop thinking about his awakening. Instead he start finding someone in the forest, maybe he could go back home.
Walking for about a day Dao Li finally found a city. A city in a planet like Passec is none other than of Vashus.
Vashus are a spices which look alike humans but with sharp ears and white hairs. In their eyes there were no pupil or anything, there was only colour in eyes which vary from person to person.
Dao Li approached the city gate, where two guards stopped him and asked, "Who are you? And why you want to went in? Where's your invitation card? You should understand Mr. that our city is now a…"
Dao Li didn't want to waste further time and want to go home faster. So, before the guard could complete his sentence he interrupted him, "I am Dao Li. While hunting I went inside the cave and found myself in a forest, I came a long way to here. I want to go home."
The guards exchange their gaze and burst out in laughter. "Hahaha!!"
"Dao Li you said, huh?" One of the guards said and continued, "Why would a member of Dao family would come in a place like 'Genela Quran'? Kid you should go further away and mess around there. This Place Is Not For Kids Like You."
Not even the guards even the Vashus and Humans behind them start laughing at him.
"Look it's a member of Dao family, haha."
"If he's the member of Dao family then I am a god."
"If you must be a god then I must be the creator."
"Dao family didn't allow any new awakener to go outside as they wish. He must be a thug or thieve."
"Hey, I am really a member of Dao family even I am their young master…" Dao Li was trying to explain them but before he could say further the guards again burst in laughter.
One of them said, "Hahaha, kid you are really here to make us laugh, see yourself even a new born baby can tell that you are a newly Awakened Being. And you dared to call yourself the young master of Dao family? Don't say it in front of any human."
"But I can prove…" Before Dao Li could say anything the guard stop laughing and said with a serious look, "Hey, kid do I look like a baby who will laugh if you behave like a clown. See you kid, if you have said that you are a member of Dao family I could have agreed once. On the list of 'Top-10 geniuses of humanity' from the Dao family there the strongest known is 'Dao Vin Cheng—2nd Genius' and a top Tier 4 awakener.
But look your name isn't there, at the first place there is the young master of Dao family who never showed up his name is still a mystery. He's gonna show up this time at 'Genius Meet-Up' here at 'Genela Quran'. It's agreed by the head of Dao family.
And a mere Tier 1 awakener is saying that you are young master of Dao family. Little kid go home look at your body. You the young master of the legendary Dao Family–The Greatest Rival Of Vashus' Royalty."
Everyone in the queue was laughing at him. There gaze was penetrating his mind.
"Hey, young master."
"He the mysterious young master, hahaha."
Dao Li was thrown out of the queue, left in shock. His eyes were open wide in shock. He now fell that what to be a weak person is like, he want to go home but he can't, he was the young master but no one agree.
A inundation of thoughts came in his mind, "But am I the young master as the grandfather told me? If yes, so who's the one in top-10 geniuses in humanity? So who's there on the top? What should I do now?"
Dao Li was full of thoughts walking alone in the forest, he can't decide what to do and what was happening. His thoughts was about to burst out of his mind. Then, he fell wet in his right foot.
Dao Li looked down and saw that he had stepped in a lake. He could clearly saw his reflection in the water of the lake, although most of the liquid found in Passec was not consumable but the one he sat foot on was pure water.
Dao Li could see his skin was too much tanned that he was nearly looking black and his clothes and hairs was messed up.
He can clearly saw what had happened to his body after he stop giving priority to his looks, he was busy in reading novels and stories that he didn't even care about his looks and physic.
*Tap!*
"Ah… This disrespectful reality. I am not going to end up like this…" A drop of tear fall from Dao Li's right eye to the lake. He was now clear about what he had to do, "As I had thinked years ago about myself… from then I am very different now but, I am gonna crush everyone." Dao Li's voice was too cold.
