Chapter 2: Ace
A morning sunlight shone on one of the rooms of a beautiful mansion belonging to the leader of Starfall Clan.
A beautiful young lady, 16 years old with a long silver hair wake up and took a long yawn. She stretched her slander arm as high as she could, displaying a figured 11 tattoo on her left outer wrist while opening her beautiful green eyes.
'Wait, was it a dream... we were being chased and... wasn't I poisoned..." She thought while scratching the back of her head in confusion. 'Mimi... Where's Mimi.'
Getting out of the bed, her eyes moved around her luxurious room and landed on a white haired boy sitting close to the window with the golden sunlight shining on his face, meditating.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my room?" She asked and without waiting for a response, she leaped from where she was and landed next to Zhero. She raised her left leg and tried to deliver around house kick on Zhero's torso who stood up in an incredible speed then...
«... Iron grab...»
He grabbed the girl's leg and hold on it tight like he was some kind of a magnet and, the pendant on his neck vibrating.
"Jeez, don't kick so high while on a skirt." Zhero spoke while his eyes moving around the girl's body and he couldn't help but admire the beauty screamed from her perfectly curved body.
"Let go of me or I'll call the cops." The girl screamed while trying to push back but to her surprise, the white haired teenager didn't flinch even a little.
"Ouh really, I would like to see that happening." Zhero responded with a smirk on his handsome face, definitely enjoying the drama.
"Val!" Mimi walked in and called the name and after seeing the scene, her face went pale for a moment but she quickly regained her composure. " ...what are you doing attacking the person who saved our lives."
"Him, a level 1?" Valentine responded in a disbelief.
"You can't pull your kick back from that level one, can you."
Hearing what her childhood friend had spoke, Valentine started reasoning and stopped struggling with her cheeks turning pink, making Zhero to let go of her foot.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I'm Zhero."
"No, who are you?" Valentine asked again while giving Zhero a sharp eyes . "It's not ordinary for a level one person to have a power of a person above level 15 or something."
"I love your brain." Zhero giggled while raising his chest. " I I'm an Ace, and you are wrong.."
Hearing what had just come out of Zhero's mouth, both Valentine and Mimi kneeled down and kowtow without hesitation. They understood what the name Ace means and they couldn't afford to offend such a person.
An Ace was the name given to the children of gods and humans or goodness and humans.
They were highly respected and believed to have some godly strength and abilities, inherited from their godly parents. Nobody could really afford to offend such people because, even if they weren't that strong as the beliefs stated, they had support from their godly parents and even in a million years, a human can't go one on one with a god and come out in one piece.
The Ace were categorized into two groups, Immortal and mortal.
Immortal Ace were those that had prowess in power and they could be considered as celestial. And, if they would fulfil a certain nature giving condition, they would accent the ladders and become a god or goddess.
This group of Ace had more potential of becoming a god even though it might take a million years to fulfill that nature giving condition while others might take hundreds or thousands of years, depending on the condition.
In power comparison, they were on the same level as Archangels and most of them preferred staying on their immortal realm while a few lived among the humans.
The next group of Ace are Mortal Ace and they were mostly considered as the weak version of Ace.
They as well had a potential of becoming the Immortal Ace after finding their true power and become prowess on it.
They have access to the Immortal realm but a huge percentage of them preferred staying in the human world while trying to charnel their true power while some of them preferred living peaceful in the Immortal realm.
In some, to get the true power or what is basically known as breaking the chain requires a lot of physicality; violence fight and what's the best place for that if not in the human world where violence is a daily bread.
"...Don't kowtow on me." Zhero spoke while trying to get them on their feet and after succeeding, he continued speaking.
"...Like I said, you are wrong. I don't have a power of such level that you started. Being an Ace gives me a privilege of accessing some divine object like this pendant on my neck." He spoke while taking out the pendant from under his t-shirt and show it to the two girls Infront of him.
"Actually, it's not divine but it has some divine spell on it but it's fading."
"Among the reasons of my return after ten years is to find my true power and... I better stop there." Zhero stopped talking with a giggle on his face hiding some bitterness and the look of vengeance.
Val and Mimi looked at Zhero with some disbelief on their eyes. Although the Aces were widely known to be around the world, they mostly lived in secret and since they looked just like a normal human, it was difficult to tell if a person is really an ace.
Sometimes, it was even difficult for an Ace to tell if they are an Ace without being told or without getting to a certain age, 18.
"Now friends, I'll appreciate if you'll keep this little secret between us because what I'm about to engage into is really dangerous and might cost the lives of those around me." Zhero added and seeing the girls were still dazed, he walked to where his backpack was, unzip it and took out a gasmask and a cap then dropped the bag next to Val's bed.
He walked towards the exit of the room but when he was about to open the door, Val called him back.
"Where will you be staying." She asked.
"Here, at your place, for now till I've set things right." *Zhero responded without turning back. "I hope you won't mind."
"It's okay with me. I'll talk to my parents about it." Val responded with a pink cheeks. "But where are you heading?" She asked.
"Like I said, the pendant's strength is fading and to start my journey, I'd need one of the divine objects called the ring of sacrifice. But before that, I'm gonna make some noises." Zhero responded and walked out.
Five hour later, Zhero stood some distance away from a magnificent building with well armed guards patrolling around it.
His eyes rolled a little higher and landed on beautiful golden billboard with the words "GOLDEN BANK."
He put the cap on his head that completely covered his white hair then put on the gasmask that covered his entire face and started walking towards the building.
