Tess was trapped,stranded ,and thrown in unknown, unfriendly world.
Tess sat on the ground to calm him self and think, think of how to get out of this collapsed building,he looked at the big and unmovable, towering slaps of rubble, average human has no hopes even attempting to break or even move them.
As Tess was setting and pondering, he shivered due to the chilling breeze that scaping from the cracks of the collapsed building, Tess zipped the zipper of his jacket, and hugged his knees to prevent the warmth from leaving his body.
"This coldness isn't enough to freeze me to death" he said "but if I exposed to it for prolonged period of time, it will definitely kill me".
As he was sitting around and so drunked in his thoughts, he heard a loud roar ,roar that didn't come from anything elegant,or normal, it has weird skreiching noise to it ,it shook the whole place , suddenly after that, Tess heard thundering booms .
It was the sound of a battle.
Boom, boom ,boom
It was as some lavathian feinds was battling, fear started to grab it's icy claws on to Tess's heart, fear isn't new to him, but right now he could feel his instincts screaming urging him to use what ever ways possible to flee, as he heard the brutality of the battle, every single time the load noise echoed through the place, violent tremor shook the ground, some debris started falling from above and landing on Tess's head.
As the brutal fight was going on, time to time he could heard ,wild bestial,roars and skreichs ,that was tainted with blood lust .
'That roars look like some monsters was fighting for dominion.....while the other skreiching sounds feels like full of fear and desperation ' Tess though. 'speakimg of fealings why can I sense, the blood lust and the malice, that the monster who roared was releasing.....yes I can definitely sense it ,the yearning for dominion, slaughter and blood shed ,the madness and fear' Tess was bewildered.
Some time was passed and Tess was still sitting,not daring to move or make any noise, he was listening quietly at thesounds of the battle that was still going on ,he could hear the sounds of blood splattering and bodies hitting the ground with weird,wet noises, that he guesed it was probably the mutilated corpses of the defeated monsters, after what felt like eternity the battle stopped, Tess let out of quiet sight in relieve.
More than five hours has passed but there is now way for Tess to know , "what is this system that throws people to tribulations." Tess pondered for. A while. For the whole time he was emmersed in his thoughts,only snapped out of it when he heard the battle sounds or roars.
'Speaking of the system ' Tess though' how do I view my runes ....is there a command word or something '
Tess opened his mouth and mutter quit word "appear".
Silence.
There is no reply and nothing appeared.
"Come"
Nothing
"Show me"
Nothing
Tess's face started to change colors and turn red from embarrassment, he was alone in the dark ,in an unknown place, doing some weird postures and signs.
After couple of seconds of self reflecting "let's try mental command" Tess mattered,he willed the system runes to appear.
It appeared.
What appeared in front of him was black and white runes ,white being the words color,it was mystically brilliant, it read.
NAME:TESS
AGE:16
RACE:HUMAN/DEMON
Tess's breath hitched and his jaw dropped, he didn't know what to say, "HAHAHAHAHAHH....HEHEHEHE" only laugh scaped ,he was laughing in the darkness with his palm covering his face, he laughed out loud, but not too loud,he was laughing for more than minute until his eyes began tearing.
"Demon .... really" Tess said as he was swiping tears from his face "so you couldn't find any other small jokes ,so you gone straight to the artillery huh ...damn psychopathic system" he waited the system to reply , but No avail.
DEMONS are archnemesis of most of the races and being dispiced, but the strong decides what's good and bad , they are one of the strongest races in realms.
"so that wasn't a joke .....I don't necessarily dispice them" Tess said "I never even saw one.... although I don't remember them ,my parents were humans ,I saw their portraits....they looked too innocent and humane if anything...maybe thay were maybe they weren't.... that's the future Tess's problem to find out" he said waving his hand he continued reading runes below that.
TITLE:
MANA:200
DEMONIC ENERGY:50
'i have two types of energy" Tess said "huh ,so that's what the blue and black energy were that was entering my body ....and my mana is 200 is that little or normal.... demonic energy it even less than that...and I don't have a title, understandable" Tess shook his head fealing unfairness,and continued reading

"Black genesis... that's a cool naming you got there psychopath" Tess said to the system ,in order to annoy it,them,him,her whatever it is
"Warden of darkness ..... So do I have ability to control darkness or what...and how do I use it"

Currently tess is an awakened,he unlocked his first seal .
Tess decided to give a try, he concentrated and willed the skill from his first seal to activate , suddenly the place he was sitting got pich black,and it feels like the darkness is alive and has a will of its own,Tess senses that some energy leaving his body ,from the bright blue radiant core in his lower abdomen,his mana was getting used in order to activate the ability.
"I can sense connection to the darkness and I can influence it through my will and mana" tess pondered "let's see if I can give it a command" Tess willed the darkness to wrapp around his hand ,the darkness moved obeying him, climbing up his hand and covering it ,he was feeling the darkness embrace his hand up to the elbow, his hand felt strong, agile and destructive,it became weapon, Tess stretched his hand back ward and slammed on to the cold marble floor.
Boooom.
Sound thundered the place he was sitting,but not able to be heard too far .he purposefully decreased his strength to not get noticed by any unfriendly party .
On the floor there was a tiny little line of crack.
"Hehehe ...that's what I am talking about " Tess said while puffing his chest proudly "now I can beat those Wana be gang of a clowns if I go all out, with out holding back my strength...hahaha "
Tess's face suddenly become grim "compare to those lavathian feinds that was fighting earlier ,I am pathetic " he said with gloomy gaze on his face, he continued reading there is another set of runes leaf it read:

Tess's eyes almost get.out of their orbit
"That is the reason why I have anger issues...huh...no wonder I am always on edge"Tess said out loud "iNHERITED...did my parents have this ....I am starting to think they weren't normal folks" Tess sighed "whatever I am going to investigate them if I get out of here alive...and this trait is it usefull or it's just a curse"
Suddenly noises of a some creature sniffing around the rubble he was in, reach Tess's ears
