Chapter 241  One Hustle Two Hustel

[Author's note: I will be starting with Walter's story first. It's about time I went in depth with side characters. Happy reading!]

How long has it been? Hmmm. I think it was when Walter's father came to this city from the village in hopes of finding a new job that would pay for the expenses of his entire family.

At that time, Walter was merely 5 years old, and Walter's father, Rupert Ignis(25 years old) was much more ambitious than what he became later on. Filled with a hope in his essence, he was supposed to change the future of not only his family but also the entire village he came from.

He isn't extraordinary by any means, but that doesn't mean he was less than average. He was quite talented at the fact that he didn't easily give up on anything. He worked hard till the very end. Even if he knows that his hard work might fail, he hoped for a miracle to occur and change his fate where he fails into something that would be more than mere success.

So, how did such a guy turn into a person who worked as a slave in a university while keeping his head under the gun of the mafia themselves? How come, despite becoming a professor, he was still in debt which he probably wouldn't clear until the very God himself comes and helps him?

Even when his son gets bullied every day, even when his daughter was sick in a hospital and on her last breath, how come he couldn't even hope to help them out of their misery?

Well. It started when he arrived in this accursed city and ended up being on the wrong side of someone whom he didn't even offend, to be honest.

It was just a bump… was it?

As soon as he got out of the car, he bumped into someone and even though he apologized, the ruffian just started beating the shit out of him. Out of anger, he filed a complaint to the nearest police station, but the man was more than just a local hoodlum. He was the son of a renowned gangster, for whom killing was like making tea in the morning.

Of course, things got worse when the news reached the gangster. Rupert was kidnapped on spot and taken to the gangster's hideout. He was beaten before he was presented to the gangster. He was burned a couple of times at places where one would never imagine.

There was no reason to do so, yet they did it. And the reason… funny enough, they were creating a slave. A slave that would work for them till the very end of his life. Somebody who would burn for them without batting an eye.

Rupert wasn't weak willed to be honest, but when the gangster mentioned about his son and daughter, when they showed that ugly smile while mentioning his wife, he had no choice but to give in. His eyes burned through the bloody tears but he had to be quiet.

Does his son, Walter Ignis, know about it? No. He never knew. All he knew was that his father was in a debt that he had to pay and because his father might get killed by the gangsters, Walter started falling for the same thing. One thing led to another, when another situation fell upon the father and son duo.

Walter's sister fell sick as she was diagnosed with leukemia. It wasn't exactly serious, but that doesn't mean it could be avoided. The secret money that Walter was saving to pay the 'debt' was gone in an instant in the treatment.

When the hooligans knew about that stash of money which Walter had stored… they beat the crap out of him for using 'their' money.

The regression of Walter took place a few days after he was beaten, hence his weakened condition, and also the reason why his sister's whereabouts slipped from his mind; previously she had died about one and a half months from now in an 'accident.'

And Walter then almost became a slave too for the same person, Reacher Brown, the guy whom his father bumped into. Or to be more accurate, his son, Fredrick Brown.

Fortunately, the apocalypse came, and he was outcasted as side meat that they could throw off anytime. And that's where he met Michael. Someone who saw the real potential in him. Helped him become so strong that even the strongest weren't able to match up to him.

Michael possessed the ability to see through one's life using [Inspect] skill that he had. And with one look, he saw through all the fuckery which Fredrick did. His father, Reacher Brown, was actually killed by Fredrick himself for an [E-Grade Core] that all of them found after fighting D-Grade Zombies and losing a bit of their forces in that.

Reading through all the monstrosity that Fredrick pulled, even Michael knew that the guy Reacher and Reacher's father, who is going to die in the commotion of the apocalypse, really went off easily. So, Micheal gave a little bit of extra 'teaching' to Fredrick and also, his brother Robert before selling both of them off.

This time, Michael knows what is exactly going on and since he has the chance, he might break them into pieces beyond what they could handle. Though first, he will let Walter do whatever he wants to do with the bullies in his school.

Among the things that Michael planned to do was to make sure Walter gets his revenge, then he needs to bring back Walter's dad into his party; if Walter has the special Class of being a world Arcanist, there is a high probability that his father too might have something. Though that is for fate to determine.

The other thing that Michael planned to do was to find any other potential candidate like Walter, who could be brought onto his side. That is one of the reasons why he was a bit interested in this Contest of the Champions. But that is something to be done later, after he had dealt with things regarding his own trusted people.

It wasn't just limited to Walter, but after being done with Walter, he was going to completely win over George and his friends, Alissa, William and Caroline. While keeping in mind about the other two regressors, whom only God knows who they were, he was going to find Myla and take control of the military as well.

While another regression was an option that he could use to come back stronger than ever, he would rather finish things within this regression. He has a lot of questions that need to be answered. Especially from Rhea, who just kept him in the dark for all that time. And even if he fails to do it in this regression, he was going to make sure he has enough information with him and not just half assed knowledge about everything.

While Michael was dealing with the things with Walter, a few more things were going on in the background. Caroline and Alissa were called to the Dean's office on short notice about something. It was an odd thing to happen because the Dean rarely had an interaction with any of the students there.

William, on the other hand, was given a special task from Martha regarding something that Michael didn't know about. He was supposed to bring her something that will determine the future of the entire Dark Oracle. Not only them, but Spencer and Agnatha also had some special plans of their own regarding the entire situation.

The other council members were also making their movements with the appearance of another King among them. Not all were happy with this news, while many went on to check the capability of the King themselves.

The previous King, whose position was taken over by Michael, was an unknown entity and nobody knew what his next move was going to be. As for Angela, she was meeting General Belial on another planet because of a sudden galactic beast's appearance. Will it affect Michael's plan? Only time will tell.

Above all, there was another being who regressed, other than the 5 who regressed with Michael. A being who wasn't bound by time. The Specter, the one who came on this planet to take over its energy core. And he… he was really, really intrigued by the time regression. It almost made him excited beyond control, as he saw the possibility of changing the fate of his entire civilization.

And talking about the regressors, the other two unknown regressors, who had no idea of the situation whatsoever, were doing their own thing as they saw the opportunity to change the future. Unlike Walter, who went to Michael, they both decided to deal with their own problems on their own. They had their own path to make. Their own legacy to leave behind.

Though it was a good thing. The change was supposedly going to bring a lot of fruition to Michael in ways that he couldn't even imagine. You can even say that it was perhaps the best thing that happened in this particular regression. In fact, it was enough to change the fate of his entire planet… or was it? Well, only fate and time will tell whether it was a good thing, or a curse in disguise.

Beyond the miracles and coincidences, there was one last thing that occurred… or should I say that it was supposed to happen? The God of Time… Chronos has finally awakened from his long slumber.
