The Barbarian Warlock

CHP 2: AWAKENING CEREMONY(1)

[For more details of the world check out the auxiliary chapter]

Alex sat on his chair looking nervous, he could see other humans and beasts kin's of his age screaming during their awakening ritual, Alex was scared out of his wits and he nearly pissed on himself.

Alex was a 16-year-old boy with brown long hair, 170 cm tall, an oval-shaped face, and tan-like skin.

He would be considered handsome according to their planet standard, Manov.

Alex had a senior sister named Jennifer, who was a year and a half older than him,

Jennifer was one of the prettiest girls in their kingdom, she is tall and very fair in complexion, with her perfect curves and average cleavages that would arouse men's lustful desires.

Alex's father Evans died in a war when Alex was just a month and two weeks old, leaving his wife Dorcas with the responsibility of the kids.

Dorcas was a hard-working woman, who multiplied her husband's death reimbursement given to her by the seniors of her husband, she worked hard and became a successful merchant.

She also received a noble title from the king due to her reputation. Dorcas refused to marry after her husband's death despite the numerous suitors from rich noble families.

She was unable to use magic ever since she had been born, due to her family being poor, but she vowed to give all her children the best they could ever wish for.

Today was Alex's awakening ceremony, as every kid of his age would awaken their magical properties and sign a contract with a familiar that would accompany them.

Jennifer had awakened her magical property a year earlier, she awakened the element of water and received a fish-like familiar of the ocean which was compatible with her element, with a deep green mana core.

Alex was seen sweating buckets as he could see other children screaming, he had never experienced pain before, as he was always pampered by his mother.

"Alex, why are you nervous? it's not as painful as it seems," Jennifer said.

"You don't know s**t you b*tch!!" Alex cursed

"Alex I have warned you several times without number not to curse your sister again, do you want your ungrateful buttocks to get spanked," Dorcas said as she was annoyed.

"I am sorry mom it was a slip of the tongue" Alex lied through his teeth.

"ALEX JAMMER" a loud voice called his name.

Alex shivered, and his face turned pale as he knew it was his turn to awaken his element.

Alex dragged his foot sluggishly and he walked towards a small room which was where the awakening ritual would take place.

When he entered the room, he was surprised to see that the interior was wide. Alex saw two old men whose ages he couldn't guess, they were gawking at him, and it made him swallow hard.

"Alex jammer son of Dorcas, I expect a good result from you, as your father was a powerful warlock," one of the old men said.

"Now place your hand on that glowing orb and loosen your mind, so that you won't receive a backlash," the second old man said.

Alex could see a large glowing orb, and above it were strange teleportation runes.

Alex placed his hands on the strange orb, he could feel a soothing sensation all over his body like he was bathing with cold water.

All of a sudden a terrifying pain and overwhelming aura befall Alex.

"Arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Alex screamed as he could feel his bones cracking and healing themselves, the orb was also shining with two different colors, pink and blue.

The old men's eyes widened, as it nearly popped out of its sockets.

"Unbelievable t-two familiars and two properties" one of the old men exclaimed.

They felt pity for Alex as he was receiving terrifying pain.

Alex's eyes were bloodshot as his blood was almost depleted, he gritted his teeth as he endured the pain.

After two minutes the light from the orb started to dim down and Alex collapsed.

The old men couldn't believe their eyes.

"Is....is..is what I am seeing right, he received thunder and sound waves elements, the most unbelievable thing is that he summoned two different familiars that are not compatible with his elements, Lust, and warlock, then if my hypothesis is right, that is four different powers" the old men eyes widened.

They just witnessed déjà vu.

"UNBELIEVABLE!!!"

The men exclaimed in unison.

But they suddenly realized that Alex was still on the floor as he had passed out.

They rushed towards him at an incredible speed and laid him down on the bed inside the room.

"Sejaru we have to inform his majesty, this is unbelievable!!, our kingdom will restore its former glory hahaha" the man grinned like a maniac and he immediately rushed out of the room.

The second man named sejaru shook his head as he was feeding some herbs to Alex

"Kid I don't think you will ever live happily with this fate of yours, you have a huge burden of a thousand warriors" Sejaru sighed and he patted Alex's head while he was still unconscious.

Meanwhile, Dorcas was starting to feel uncomfortable, as she couldn't see her son.

"Other children didn't take so long like this," she thought.

"Jennifer I am going in there to check on your brother, it's been over thirty minutes he has been gone and he is not back".

Jennifer rolled her eyes as she thought her mother was always too possessive of her brother.

Dorcas stood up and she walked towards the room where the ceremony was taking place.

When she arrived at the entrance, she knocked but nobody was answering.

She became nervous and started to think if something bad happened to her beloved son.

She stilled her heart and opened the door when she entered she was surprised by what she saw.

" Alex..." She muttered.

And she ran towards him, she pushed the old man feeding him medicine away, she was terrified when she saw how lean he was compared to before.

"My baby I am sorry, I am sorry I was a bad mother who wants to make you strong out of your wish, without caring about how you feel" Dorcas hugged him while she wept.
