Sweat clung to his skin. His chest rose and fell in jagged bursts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huff. Huff. Huff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit,\" he growled, gripping his sheets. \"Another one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another echo of his old life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humiliation. The bullying. The slow death of his mind and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the hell does this end?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran a hand through his thick, jet-black hair, pushing the nightmare out of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It ends when you let go of the past and live the life before you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have let go,\" he muttered, eyes narrowing. \"I'm not Boris anymore. I'm Kaden. Child of Blood. I've moved on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden welcomed the silence. He wasn't in the mood for a psychological debate first thing in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door creaked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A maid entered, graceful and composed. Auburn hair in a tight bun. Her eyes warm but wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bowed with practiced precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happy birthday, young master Kaden. Your family awaits you in the Awakening Room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded once. \"I'll be there soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't look back as he walked to the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the maid frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks troubled again, she thought. But quickly shook it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not my business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the bathroom, Kaden stared at his reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome face stared back—sharp jawline, pale skin, symmetrical features. His black hair framed his crimson eyes perfectly. Undoubtedly, he was handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least I'm still good-looking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what's the point of being beautiful in a world that only respects power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned closer to the mirror, eyes cold and sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it,\" he whispered. \"The beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System. Ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, I was born ready.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit. You were programmed ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then. Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>⸻\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Awakening Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Warborns stood like statues. Regal. Deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarena and Garros at the center, arms crossed. Daela and Dain flanking them—two monsters in human skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dain huffed. \"Where is he? I've got better things to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like slaughtering weak beasts?\" Daela said dryly, unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you even here? Just go back to Fokay and start your evolution quest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would, if my origin was saturated enough. I need more beast cores. Unlike some people,\" he glanced at his parents, \"I don't get any handouts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarena raised a brow. \"But you're doing well, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dain's lips twitched. \"If Kaden asked for help, I bet you'd hand him the crown. Playing favorites now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously,\" Daela added, deadpan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garros chuckled. \"Leave the kid alone. He's different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll say,\" Dain muttered. \"Still, where is he—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden stepped in, clad in a simple black robe. His walk was calm. Focused. Unshaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped a few paces in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He greeted softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dain approached with a grin, clapping him on the back hard. \"Took you long enough, little brother. Let's get this over with—I've got monsters to butcher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa pa—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Brother Dain,\" he muttered, barely keeping upright under Dain's hammer-like slaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dain was just like Garros. In fact he was just the younger version of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall, big muscles with black hair and red eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garros stepped forward, a crimson orb floating in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This,\" he said, \"is the Awakening Crystal. It will channel mana into your body and unlock your Origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was steady. Cold steel wrapped in pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Warborn line usually awakens Weapon-type Origins. That's our legacy. But if yours isn't—so be it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as it's strong. Strong enough to protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because from this moment on—you're no longer sheltered. Not even by your mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden met his father's gaze, unblinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were born weak, but that won't excuse you anymore. Not in this house. Not in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prove you're worthy of this bloodline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word echoed in Kaden's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, eyes burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, Sarena's eyes tightened. She said nothing, but her heart trembled slightly. So did Daela's. Even Dain's ever-arrogant smirk wavered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn't show it. But all three were fiercely protective of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garros says he won't protect him anymore, they thought. But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Let someone try.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Try touching him and see what happens.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am the only one with the permission to hurt him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not quite in accord with Garros this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garros held out the crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Origin rarities range from Common, Rare, Unique, Legendary, to Mythic. For us, anything below Unique is garbage. Unique is acceptable. Legendary is respected. Mythic... is revered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden stepped forward and took the crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers curled around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inhaled—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And let the mana in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started slow. A trickle. A whisper of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vortex of energy erupted around him. Crimson mana whirled like a storm, crackling with pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarena's eyes narrowed. \"He's... absorbing it fast. Too fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was high-ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that thought they all smiled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief that Kaden will have a high ranked origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even they didn't know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaden wasn't just awakening his Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was awakening his system too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host has awakened his Origin.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Origin: Bloodsoaked Sword King — Legendary.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System functions now unlocked.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Welcome to the Cycle of Rebirth System.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Principle: Die to grow stronger.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—End of Chapter 4—\u003C\u002Fp>",905,"2026-06-03T10:53:47.223Z",1,"novelbin.me","9a5a08b533c87b1f10546c6014fa36ea65e5d238ef1d5c81c781e5db716b2f6d","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-5","killed-me-now-i-have-your-power-chapter-3",481,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkilled-me-now-i-have-your-power-cover.jpg"]
