Alpha: The Elemental Guide
Chapter 11: Discrimination
"Hahahaha, weak!! so weak!!!"
"Hahaha, how could a person like you be born in this world!!.
"Mirh...."
Seen somewhere, there are 2 people who are bullying a young man with glasses. Apparently, the stature between the 2 people and a young man was very different. The bodies of 2 people are muscular, while the young man is small and looks to protect the tools he hugs.
"People like you only exist for the slave stock!!"
"A highway like you doesn't deserve to be in this country! you lowly people."
The two men still cursed the young man while kicking the body of the young man who had fallen on the ground. The young man could only endure the pain and accept all the behavior of the two people to him.
"Ahahah, hand over all your money!! otherwise... You know what will happen!?"
"Ba-good." The young man took out all the rest of his money.
The burly man quickly took the money and said...
"Yeah?!! just this? what have you been doing all this time, huh?!!!"
" If you find the money it's right dong."
" I-I'm sorry sir. My money is just that."
"Basic is not becus!!"
One of the burly men kicked the young man to the ground again.
"Sound boy! your life alone is useless, at least bring us both more money!! tomorrow bring us both more money!"
"Maha."
"Bright sir."
The young man could only obey the orders of the two people. When the two men had left him, he immediately got up and took a device that he was guarding earlier. Wounded, he walked towards his home limping.
The young man managed to return to his settlement. A very shabby settlement filled with hungry people. Every time he came home from work, he always put aside a little money to help the hungry people in his diematinim. He could not bear to see the hungry, even though he himself felt the hunger itself. Because of the kindness of the young man, the surrounding population became respectful and grateful to the young man. All the inhabitants of the settlement thought the young man was a savior from heaven.
"One more time thank you, Iven. Sorry to bother with each day."
"It's okay grandma, Iven happened to get a little money earlier. Oh yes, this is bread for Ms. Yeni and abel."
"Good, grandma will tell you."

When all his gifts were delivered, all that was left was one loaf of bread for his dinner. Iven thought that today was a beautiful day, because where he worked, he got a bonus from his boss and when extorted the money earlier by the two burly people, he got a bonus, he hid a little money in his shoes. Iven thought, today he might be very lucky, but for the next day Iven should not rely on the word bad luck.
Iven arrived at the small and simple house, and immediately to clean himself. The oven only cleans some parts of his body. Iven knows very well that clean water here is something valuable. You should not waste clean water just to clean yourself. After cleaning up, Iven went back to developing the tools he carried everywhere. A tool that Iven has always been proud of, and a tool that Iven has always trusted. The device is a glove surrounded by mysterious material. Although the results desired by Iven are still not achieved, but Iven believes that this tool will change the entire life of Iven and the settlement here.
During the development of the tool, the voice of soerang girl screamed for help. The girl was heard begging for help. No one helped the girl. The whole population of these slums are the greats, the people who are at the bottom of the caste system in this country. People who are like a slave. Free people are treated by whatever people are above them. People whose existence is not desired by this world. Yes, yes, the people who do not have the slightest 'Life', which means they cannot control the elements.
Iven who hears the voice of the cry for help, can only pretend not to hear.ven knows, if he can not do anything. Even if he really wants to help, he will only end up battered and even get him killed. Every week, a beautiful girl is kidnapped to be used as a gratifying tool**** or a child is usually kidnapped to be a slave. There is a rule in this country, for men of the great race over 18 years, it is forbidden to be made into slaves. Iven can miraculously avoid the kidnapping.
The power of elemental control is absolute, with that power being able to determine one's fate. A child born without a 'Life' will only make his or her biological parents ashamed. Most parents who have children without 'Life', will throw their children in these settlements. For that reason, most residents in these settlements are severely depressed and have no purpose in life.
Iven continued to develop his tools. Even though he heard a voice asking for help, but he just kept quiet. The tool he developed was a tool he received from someone who had saved his life in the past. The man helps Iven deal with difficult times. That person has made this settlement a little better. In the past, the condition of the settlement was very bad compared to now. There were a lot of criminal acts, robberies everywhere. However due to the tremendous effort of the person, the circumstances have been a little more friendly. In fact, it is what makes this country forced to make regulations about 18-year-old men. Even though the person is still not satisfied with the decision. He is a man fighting for the rights of the people. He is a real hero.
Because of an incident, the person was killed mysteriously. Iven suspected the killer was a dispatch from the above who did not like the presence of the tiu. Before he died, the man had left his tool to Iven. A word Iven will always remember.
"Ven, take care of this tool like you take care of yourself. Someday, this tool is what will liberate the greats from this discrimination."
"What is this master tool?"
"This tool is still not perfect, there is still one part that is missed and I still can not find it. Maybe you can find that. This tool is...."
A word Iven will never forget. The words are the reason why Iven worked so hard to develop this tool. The words that convinced Iven that someday the people would be free...
"Master, I'll make your dream come true! I promise! With all my soul and body, I promise to liberate the people!!!."
