Rayen was thirteen when he truly saw the world for what it was.
School had never been kind, but now he understood why.
Greed, jealousy, and betrayal were not just part of human nature—they were celebrated.
A girl who smiled sweetly to teachers spread lies about classmates behind closed doors.
A boy who begged for help later stole another student's work and claimed it as his own.
Rayen cataloged everything. Every heartbeat, every lie, every hidden truth flowed into his mind.
By fifteen, he could sense dishonesty from meters away.
By sixteen, he could see fear, lust, and greed like colors surrounding humans.
Humans weren't flawed.
They were rotting from the inside out.
And he… would not be like them.
