Chapter 84: Racked

Lucian walked around, he found a piece of paper lying on the ground after looking around and making sure that no one was around he picked it up and decided to try to burn it.He condensed the black flames over his palm again and put the paper in the flames but nothing happened, the black flames didn't even make the paper hot.

" Hey Zero, what is the meaning of this now? Is this some kind of scam? " He shouted in irritation.

[ Maybe this ability is actually related to decaying or something, why don't you try using it on a tree? And it is perfectly normal that some of the abilities don't show their capability at the beginning. ]

Trying to calm himself, Lucian walked up to a tree then he raised his hand and touched a leaf before condensing the Fire of Corruption again, he waited for several seconds but nothing happened yet again.

" Fuck, is this just to scare my enemies? What difference does it even make? " Lucian hit the tree leaf without removing the flames, just as the leaf began to fall down Lucian noticed something.

As the leaf moved through the black flames, it looked as if it was moving in slow motion and after passing through it the leaf just fell down normally.

" Huh? Did you see that Zero? I think I have an idea about what my ability can do. "

Lucian mumbled, then he focussed and allowed his entire body to be engulfed by the dark flames, then he actually looked like a demon covered in those flames, it was impossible to see him and only the darkness could be seen.

Like a demon covered in flames directly from hell, he stood there, even the air around him seemed ominous.

He tried to shoot out the fire but nothing happened, and he was only about to use the flames around less than a meter or so around his body.

Then he looked around on the ground and soon picked up a stone, then he threw it into the air without using much strength, and it came down exactly over his head.

Without moving, Lucian just stood there, the flames were present all around his body, just as the stone came in contact with flames its speed slowed down and it moved downwards much more slowly.

" So this is my ability, not bad. " Lucian mumbled as he slowly raised his hand and caught the stone, then he removed the flames.

[ Yeah, it looks like a very unique ability, but we would need some more time to understand how it actually works and if this ability has the capability to grow in the future or not. ]

" So abilities can also grow? " Lucian questioned, he again condensed the black flames around his hand and began to play with the rock, seeing how it literally almost stopped mid air.

[ Yes, very few of the abilities can, and then they became much more stronger. ]

For the next few hours, Lucian just played around with his ability, and by the time it was dawn he was quite exhausted, then he sent Perv a message asking him to send some money.

" Only after he wakes up, will I be able to go back, haa I am hungry. "

Lucian was sitting on a bench, as he looked at the people who were jogging and exercising, they all looked so fresh on the other hand Lucian looked as if he had just come from a construction site.

*DING*

Just after a few minutes, Lucian received a notification on his mobile, taking it out he found that Parvinder had just sent him 1000 dollars.

" Hah They are so lucky to have a friend like me. " Lucian mumbled as he booked a cab. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just after some time, Lucian was seated on a train going back home, he planned to stay in this Earth for some more time and go into a few more Chasms before he returns to the other planet.

Several questions were coming to his mind and he kept asking them to Zero: ' Hey so is it possible that I can enter a Chasm inside a Chasm? '

[ No, in most situations you won't be able to. ]

' Why don't you try checking if you received any ability or not? ' Lucian questioned.

[ I can't find anything, only time will tell. ]

******

Once Lucian arrived at the station, he ate something that wasn't too expensive, then he went back to his home, it was already too late for school anyway.

' Now I need to get the situation of my money under control, there are a lot of ways to do it but I need something faster, I guess I'll have to do some gambling. '

He thought, and decided to go to a famous betting place after changing and freshening up at home.

He took another cab and soon arrived at his destination, he was walking towards his home when he saw two people sitting right in front of the door of his house.

Perry and Jerry, the two brothers were waiting for Lucian they probably found out about the money Lucian had taken from them, and were here to beat him up and take the money back.

As Lucian got closer he noticed that the door to his house was open, and everything inside seemed to be in a much worse shape.

The bed and table were broken, his clothes lay on the floor, dirty and torn, and everything had been turned upside down.

" Oh, you are back? We both have been waiting patiently here just for you, sir. I heard you tricked us while we were drunk and took our money, so are you going to return the money before we beat you up or after we beat you up?

By the way, we are going to beat you up in either case you choose haha you little shit. " Perry spoke, trying to intimidate Lucian with his muscle.

" Keke well said brother, we didn't even collect the money from this bastard several times before and now he took advantage of our kindness, that's why we shouldn't sympathize with such low lives. "

Jerry spoke, as both brothers laughed and looked at Lucian in anger.

Passing from between them, Lucian walked inside and looked around at all the mess the two brothers had made, they even threw garbage inside.

' And I was hoping to take a nap before going for gambling, sigh now I don't even have a place to sleep. ' Lucian thought.

" H- How dare this shit ignore us? " Jerry shouted in anger.

" Hehe, are you getting angry to see your pitiful little house in this condition? We put in quite a bit of hard work right there, tell me how do you like the finishing? " Perry asked with a loud laugh.

" How much money do both of you have right now? " Lucian asked in a calm tone as a smile appeared over his face, then he turned to look at the brothers.

" Hmm since we have just collected so around nine- wait why do you want to know that? " Jerry even began to answer him, but then he remembered why they were there.

Without saying anything, Lucian threw a punch towards Jerry's chest without using much strength.

*THUMP*
