His dive was successful. Ryan now had the ring in his palm. His one knee turned down on the ground and another was halfway up.

"You are not getting away kid!" 

So that the ring should not fall out of his pocket again, he brought the ring near his ring finger. 

"What?! Come on!" The ring was way bigger than Ryan's ring finger, "This ain't even the correct size!" And he didn't even notice.

"Gaaaahhh!" A man roared. 

He panicked even more. "Fuck." Dropped the ring in his ring finger and closed his fist tight. 

Ryan went behind the tree, picked up some stones, and threw them at them. Those men dodged the stones easily. 

"I'll run!" He threw few more rocks before getting up from on his feet. 

He aimed a rock at one man's face. He got up. 

"What the bloody…. Hell…." The rock stopped midway in the midair. It didn't move. 

Not only the one rock but all the rocks Ryan threw were in the air. Ryan's body was frozen. 

The rocks changed their shapes. The ends of the rocks turned super sharp. 

'It's that man's Trait!' Ryan thought. His hands started trembling. His tight fist opened up. But the ring didn't fell. 

All the pointy-shaped rocks charged at Ryan. He turned and hid behind a tree. 

"Wait- the ring?!" He moved his left hand, "I- impossible--" The ring was not loose in his ring finger, it fit perfectly in Ryan's finger. 

< The user confirmed. The host confirmed > 

Ryan saw some messages in front of his eyes, he heard a feminine voice inside his head.

A strong wind starts blowing. No, it changed into a wind explosion. The center of the force was Ryan. 

< Booting up the Ring System >

A tornado started erupting from Ryan. The air force surrounded Ryan. All three men were giving their best to stay on the ground.

"What is this power? It's like a bomb blasted and this is its air force…." 

Ryan slowly started bringing his fingers closer, he eventually closed his fist. Another blow of wind came out from Ryan. One man went flying away.

Ryan stood up. The blow came back, "Shit! This feels like an asteroid fell on the ground and this is its impact. Dangerous." 

Ryan's legs started wiggling, "Why do I feel weak-" Ryan fell to the ground, he went unconscious. 

< The Ring System booted successfully. Welcome to the Ring System, Host > 

The sturdy impact of air stoped. 

"Good thing you came!" The man yelled. Not one nor three but five men were standing in front of Ryan, but he was unconscious. 

"AAAHHHH!!" they heard one man scream behind them. All four turned to see what happened but they saw nothing. 

They saw nothing but a corpse, a dried-up corpse. 

"Trait huh," Another man exhaled. 

"You said this kid got no Trait!" One man who seemed to be the boss shouted. 

The wind started clearing up, all the dust started clearing up, as a shadow started showing up. 

"T- that-!" Two men gulped. 

From the dusty air, a shadow started clearing up. A red spark became clear. The red/crimson spark came out of both of his eyes. 

"H- he is in the air! His feet-" 

Ryan's feet were not on the ground. The air was carrying him. After his red sparkling eyes, his body became more clear. 

Ryan held a stick in his hand. An irritated, annoyed, pissed-off expression pulled over his face, and a stick in his hand. His white hair was being pulled upwards. 

The shadow accelerated at the rate of air, Ryan stabbed a guy in his stomach with the stick. He moved his left hand, pulled his hand towards himself.

All the blood came out of that man's stomach. Even guts started pouring out. His glare turned to another man. That man shivered. 

By moving his left hand towards that mafia, Ryan poured all of the blood taken out from Man one into Man two. Blood commenced overloading. 

Within seconds, the second man burst into pieces like a balloon, and all the blood came bursting out, like water in a balloon. 

That much amount of blood was enough to color paint everyone in red. 

Ryan turned towards the boss. Their eyes met. A smirk grew between the boss's lips. 

"Go to sleep." He murmured. 

The red spark in Ryan's eyes started fading, his eyes were slowly closing. He landed down on the ground. His eyes closed fully. 

< An attempt to use a Trait on the host detected. Blocking the Trait >

Suddenly Ryan felt a strange amount of pain in his left ring finger, right there where he was wearing the ring or the ring was wearing him. 

"Ahhh!" Ryan screamed. His eyes were back to normal he gained back his consciousness. 

The ring pulled blood from Ryan's veins which made Ryan scream in pain. The boss man who was standing in front of Ryan was not just surprised but scared too, his eyes told everything. 

"Doze off!" The boss ordered again.

"STOP! STOP!" Ryan screamed. The pain in his finger started to fade out. Hence Ryan broke out of the boss's Trait. 

He gave that man one last glance, turned, picked his bag, and ran deep into the swamp without looking back. 

The boss man stood there motionless as he saw Ryan run deep in the swamp and he did nothing.

The remaining men came back to Ryan's house. Walking slowly with their heads down.

"Inform me you killed that Ryan kid." Shouted a woman at those men.

"We didn't Ma'am."

"You guys! Are useless!" she sighed, "Now what will I tell my brother huh?"

"We are sorry ma'am but please listen to me." 

"Not you. MacMan you tell me what happened."

The boss man came forward, "He had a Trait."

"Non-sense." 

"He did and that also a very dangerous one,"

"Even if he did had a dangerous Trait, there's no way he could be able to use it more than once. The body of boys his age is not compatible with high-level Traits."

"He used it more than once. We are not clear what his Trait was but it was very dangerous, but I am sure he didn't use that Trait just once."

"Tell me everything, my left-hand man,"

MacMan told Sarah everything which happened there.

How Ryan suddenly started throwing a high-density power air impact, how he killed a man and turned him into sucked corpse without anyone seeing what he did, how he came out of the shadow with his feet in the air, how he sucked the blood out of his man's body with a stick and made another man's body burst into pieces, and how Ryan broke out of MacMan's Trait.

"Shut up…. No way, it's impossible. He broke out of your Trait MacMan?" Sarah was shocked, "No one will be able to break out of your Trait, unless- they are stronger than you are..."

"Exactly. I was frozen when that boy broke out of my Trait."

Ryan was back into the city, it was downtown probably. Ryan was panting very, very hard, he needed water so bad. There was nothing but big vehicles going. The downtown highway. 

"Just what the hell happened to me?"
