Bloodbound: Sheraz's Awakening
Chapter 1
It was a peaceful day. A boy was sleeping deeply when his younger sister suddenly knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock...
He woke up and opened the door.
What's going on, Lilli?
he asked, half-asleep.
Your breakfast is ready, Sheraz, Lilli replied.
Yeah, I'm coming, Sheraz said in a sleepy voice.
After taking a shower, Sheraz came to eat breakfast. His mother said,
Take a plate and serve yourself some food.
After finishing his breakfast, Sheraz, who lives in karacj city and he came from a middle class family, left for college to collect his sophomore year certificate. He had big dreams one day, he wanted to become a billionaire.
He reached the principal's office.
Mr. Frank, may I come in?
Frank looked up. Oh! Sheraz, yes yes, come in! What a pleasant surprise. What brings you here, my boy?
Thank you, sir. I just came to collect my certificate. Sheraz said politely.
Frank turned to his assistant. Miss Olivia, please give him his certificate.
Olivia looked at Sheraz and asked, Please tell me your full name.
Sheraz. Sheraz Med.
Let me check. Please wait a moment.
After about four minutes, Olivia said, Oh yes, here it is. Your sophomore year certificate.
Thank you so much, Miss Olivia.
Sheraz returned home. When he arrived, he saw his father leaving for his usual 9-to-5 job. Seeing that made him feel guilty.
I'm such a loser, he thought to himself as he walked away.
The next day, Sheraz had a job interview at Sherp at 10 a.m. for a cashier position. He got ready on time and called a taxi to reach the place.
But suddenly, a truck carrying raw materials crashed into the taxi Sheraz was in.
Sheraz, shocked, asked the driver, What happened?
Before he could hear a reply, he lost consciousness.
The taxi driver died instantly. Sheraz was critically injured.
People at the scene quickly informed his family. Everyone rushed to the hospital to find out what had happened.
The doctor walked out of the emergency ward. The family rushed to him.
Doctor, what happened? Is everything okay?
The doctor gave them grim news.
The next 24 hours are critical for Sheraz.
Lilli was heartbroken. She cried uncontrollably. His mother collapsed in tears from the shock.
The doctor did everything he could to save Sheraz, but sadly, it was too late.
In the middle of the night, while the family rested, Lilli was still praying for her brother. The doctor saw her and felt a deep sense of guilt.
He quietly said, Hey pretty girl, please call your family.
Five minutes later, everyone gathered.
The doctor looked at them with a heavy heart.
I'm very sorry. Sheraz is no more.
Lilli stood frozen. Her mother broke down completely.
Everyone cried. The father, though physically fine, was broken inside.
The doctor said softly, Please take the body... and pay the remaining fee.
The father, holding back tears, replied, Ahh... okay.

Two years later,
Lilli had grown up and turned 18. Her father had retired, but her mother still hadn't recovered from the shock.
