A few kiloters from the Far East empire was a forest.
The forest was limitless, thick, and rich. Its canopy was overshadowed by oak, cedar, and fir, and occasional openings in their crowns allowed plenty of light through for scattered sprouts to grow in the fertile soils below.
Bundled tree limbs hung from a couple of trees, and an array of flowers, which grew in a sprinkled and disorderly fashion, added so bright touches to the otherwise dark lower level.
A disharmony of animal noises, most belonging to small creatures, added life to the forest and was accompanied by the sounds of several woodpeckers in the distance.
Sitting on a dead tree trunk Kevin Asmar seed to be waiting for soone. He kept tapping his foot on the ground impatiently.
''Where is that douchebag? It has been 30 minutes. I'm waiting already. Did he get lost?" Kevin wondered before sighing; he decided to check his status in the anti.
''Status!" He called out for his status window, and it appeared right before his eyes.

''Sigh! I'm happy that my status has increased; however, I have suffered so much that it would be weird if nothing changed after that.'' Kevin murmured while recalling the intense pain his body underwent after the man with the hoodie made him swallow a black seed. He thought he would die; the pain was so intense that he would never forget it.
After that, things started to change, and finally, he acquired a few levels, his stats increased more than normal, and he was about to carry out his mission. Kevin had to do this if he wished to acquire more strength, to catch and maybe surpass Alex.
Previously, Kevin thought that the gap between him and Alex could never be filled as the man was the true definition of a monster; even if it pains him, he had to admit this truth, especially after their last eting; however, after eting the mysterious man claiming to make him stronger and saying he knew where Leonardo was, the dream of catching up to Alex surpassing him was not far away and it beca an attainable goal.
While Kevin was lost in thought, Dodolus, the eldest of the three, arrived.
''Sorry, I was busy escaping from Camilla, who wanted to follow , but I managed to slip away and co alone as you have said, so what do you want to talk to without our sister being present?'' Dodolus asked while crossing his arms.
Kevin, his little brother, had started acting weird lately; he would disappear for a few hours every day to God know where and would co back with a weird smile. There was also that thing; his moods would change on a whim, he beca pretty aggressive lately, and his eyes sotis would shine like that of a madman, no like that of a fanatic should be the most fitting description.
Naturally, Dodolus and Camilla had tried to dig out so information from their brother, but nothing was found, they tried to tail him a few tis, but strangely, they failed which was shocking as Kevin was not known to be an expert in this field before.
So, when Kevin asked him to co sowhere alone because he had sothing important to tell him only him, Dodolus didn't hesitate because he could use this opportunity to learn more about what his brother had been doing and what he was hiding.
While waiting for Kevin's answer, Dodolus tried to appraise his brother secretly but failed again.
'Of course, it won't work.' Dodolus lanted.
''Hahaha! It's nothing serious I want to fight you while Milla isn't around. The loser has to listen to the winner's request.'' After a mont of silence, Kevin declared, and just as Dodolus was about to rebuke his brother, saying there was no need to fight in this forest if it was what he wanted to ask, Kevin said sothing he could not ignore.
''If you win, I'll tell you what I've been up to recently and tell you another valuable piece of information we both need.''
This was enough to get Dodolus interested.
''Okay, let's fight.'' Dodolus accepted and changed into his training gear.
Kevin didn't change his clothes; he wore casual black jeans and a black sleeveless shirt. Dodolus glared at him, wondering what kind of ga he thought he was playing, but Kevin chuckled.
He appraised his brother while the latter was fuming, vowing to teach his arrogant little brother a good lesson.

'Huh! He is weak than expected. I'm stronger than him. This should be an easy fight.' Kevin thought with condescending eyes. Previously he would have done this, but now he could arrogantly look down on his big brother and even Camilla, his genius little sister.
Like Dodolus, who had a goal coming here, Kevin also has one, a mission he must carry to get another boost of strength. He must make Dodolus swallow that seed; like this, he would join his side, and afterward, they could make Camilla join them. Dodolus is smart, but Camilla is smarter; it easy to fool him with a little bit of preparation but not Camilla. Therefore he must start from Dodolus.
He would not fail this mission.
The man in the hoodie's goal was to start with Kevin, the weakest; from there, he would make him take his brother join before the two would turn Camilla in. Being betrayed by your closest ones, being pushed into hell by them, was the greatest joy for this man who was watching everything from the dark.
'It would be fun. Should I try this thod with Alex's group? Nah! It's better not anger a Touch, at least not now.' The man thought as he must focus solely on this mission.
