I was born with the Siphon System, the power to seize anything. My foster mother used to say that her own son was more precious to her than I was, so I only deserved to serve him. That very night, I siphoned his intellect and awareness and took them for myself. My foster parents flew into a rage and threatened to kill me when I was still small and weak. I didn't hesitate to siphon their physical strength and kill instead. From then on, I became my own master. When I turned eighteen, my biological parents, the Young family, finally brought me home. At the party held to welcome me back, the "fake" heiress, Claire Young, drugged my drink and had me sent to a room full of men. "Don't worry," she whispered, smirking. "I've already tipped off the media. Enjoy your night. Tomorrow, you'll be kicked out of the Young family." I nodded, then siphoned her consciousness. I watched her eyes go blank and her body slump onto the bed in my place.
