Capítulo 2: Escape

It had been several years before Shane found out, due to a lucky or rather unlucky coincidence, that his mother had died while giving birth to him.

His father considered him no less than a miracle sent from Heaven above.

The nurses had told his father that both his son and his wife had died.

Through something unknown, seen as a divine intervention, the former dead baby had suddenly started to breathe once again, moments after the doctor had declared it to be dead.

With that in mind, Shane concluded that it had only been possible because he had transmigrated into the baby's body.

That could be the only reason due to which his "father" could suddenly see his dead son "alive" and kicking, crying like he was stung by a bee.

His father seemed to love him dearly, and Shane felt guilty of deceiving him because he was not his father's biological son.

However, as years passed, he found himself believing the fact that he was indeed his father's son, even though the love that he had obtained in the beginning was different than he could have ever imagined.

Even If he continued to think differently, there was nothing he could change about his current situation, and several years passed until he finally made up his mind.

Growing up under his father's care, he noticed pretty early that even his father had his share of nasty flaws.

His father was barely at home and had an extremely bad temper.

Shane felt as if his father was cold and distant towards him.

Furthermore, he controlled his son's life, micromanaging everything down to the last detail. Thus, Shane´s social interactions were limited to his father's friends, and the servants of the luxurious mansion he resided in.

He was imprisoned inside the mansion and wasn't even allowed to leave the mansion without a servant tailing him. To make matters worse, he was forbidden to publicly name his father, and reveal his true identity..

As if that was not enough, his father did a poor job at parenting, and rather it was his father's friends, who raised him more than his own father.

There were no friends or other people interacting with him on a daily basis.

When he transmigrated to Igra, he was horrified to find out the perils of the world he had entered.

Even though Igra was approximately six times larger than earth, this couldn't protect him from the terrifying existences that eradicated cities and even countries.

However, the worst thing that happened to him was when he was around eight years old.

One day, his father returned home with a few small green hideous-looking beasts that were tied together with ropes.

At this time, a premonition caused Shane to frown, as he drew his tiny eyebrows together. His father wanted him to kill the small hideous, green-skinned beasts, called Goblins.

Pushing an alloy dagger into the hands of his 8-year-old child, his father had stepped back and looked at Shane who trembled violently in fear, while his father released a faint trace of mana.

Shane, who couldn't feel his father's mana should have understood the harsh reality sooner rather than later, but he denied his father´s order to kill the tied Goblins. At that time, memories of his past life flooded his mind, where he would save helpless animals and not harm them. He saw the same helplessness mirrored across the Goblins' faces.

But, Shane was unable to lift the dagger, even if he wanted to, and his little fingers curled around the hilt of the dagger with an unsteady grip.

His father had waited for some time, tapping his feet on the floor impatiently. When his son wouldn't obey, his father took matters in his own hands. He went ahead and severed the Goblins' legs with a clean slice of his blad he swung without showing any mercy.

As Shane watched in horror, his father then tended to their wounds, and stepped back, apparently satisfied with his 'piece of work'.

However, his cold gaze lingered on his son, and the aloofness in them caused the eight-year-old boy to shiver in fright.

Having lived for more than 20 years, if one was to include his previous life, Shane knew what his father had expected from him. Yet, he was still disgusted with the thought of killing a living being.

The Goblins, however, were oblivious to Shane's predicament. One of the goblins crawled towards him with blood-red eyes, not being able to resist its inherent need for bloodlust.

Looking into the bloodthirsty eyes, Shane knew that there was no hope left. The almost invisible ray of hope that he desperately clung to, was now devoured by darkness.

At that time, Shane had only noticed his father's cold gaze that had been fixated on him and he knew what needed to be done.

Even though he loved animals, the being crawling towards him could hardly be considered as one.

There was no room for mistakes left…

As his father's eyes bore down on him, Shane clutched the alloy dagger with a firm grip to prevent his shaking hands from dropping it accidentally. As tiny tears streamed down his cheeks, he forced himself to thrust the dagger into the already seriously injured Goblin's chest with all the energy he could muster up.

With the dagger piercing into the Goblins' flesh, its eyes widened involuntarily. He felt the timid goblin resist him, but the razor-sharp blade sliced deep into the bloodthirsty creature's body.

The goblin's vision blurred and the goblin uttered a painful shriek that would haunt little Shane for months. The goblin's body slumped down as blood flowed down in rivulets. Soon, the blood was pouring on the clean and smooth ground and had painted his clean clothes deep crimson.

**

It was the first time for him to kill a living being in both of his lives. His father had given him no acknowledgment or appreciation but had merely walked away from him. Shane had fallen to the floor, crying helplessly with no one to offer him comfort. Clutching his stomach he had vomited a few times until only gastric fluids were left behind.

To Shane's dismay, his first time killing a beast was not the last one. His father had seen his son's hesitation as a weakness, and a flaw, that could kill him in the future.

Over the next few years, Shane accompanied his father to hundreds of different places. Each of those places was infested with murderous beasts that would kill him without the slightest hesitation or remorse.

His father taught Shane to kill without mercy or delay. Due to this, he slowly grew numb to the mindless slaughter of living beings.

In the beginning, he was still disgusted to see his blade cut and hack through flesh, but slowly he adapted to his father's mindset. Over time, his thoughts had undergone a radical change and now, were almost aligned to that of his father.

The main turning point in his life, however, came in the form of a beast break-out where the beasts had brutally massacred innocent and hapless human beings.

After that unfortunate day, his attitude towards beasts had changed by 360 degrees. He couldn't see them as the same innocent animals that he had loved back on earth anymore. Now, he saw them for what they were.

Life was cruel and harsh in the world he had transmigrated into, and only the strongest could survive.

His father was strong and powerful, but Shane didn't like being someone's puppet. Even if that someone was John Stella, the president of the whole Stella-federation, governing mankind and Igra.

Shane´s family name was different from that of his father's surname. He had taken his deceased mother's family name, which was the same one he had in his former life.

As such, his name was still Shane Suro, son of John Stella.

While some people thought that it was beneficial to belong to a formidable family in such a dangerous era, Shane couldn't agree. He would rather face the chaos and death head-on than to sit cocooned in his father's mansion, oblivious to everything that went on outside.

He was constantly being controlled by everyone and everything.

Freetime? What is that?

A free-will? Can I eat that?

He was forced to excel at everything, from knowledge to weaponry, even lifestyle occupations, that left him with no free time. Even if he did get free time, who would he spend it with? The servants inside the manor?

Furthermore, he was expected to be able to lead people, fight monstrous existences, and become a killing machine in order to protect humanity from all kinds of threats.

Shane had to wait till he turned 16, to be able to enter the Primordial Dimension. At last, the long-awaited day finally arrived.

Staying under his father's control, not having a say in any decision, and marrying someone he had never met before, wasn't how he imagined living for the rest of his life. Shane's desire to live his life the way he wanted ignited deep inside him.

Planning his escape for months, he chose to be his own ruler!

He was his own king and not someone's puppet!

Nobody should control him and force him to do something he didn't want to. With that in mind, the memory of him killing the first living being, 8 years ago, crossed his mind.

Now, the day after his 16th birthday, Shane was standing in front of the Dimensional Portal anxiously. He nervously stepped forward, entering the semi-translucent liquid which changed his whole life.

Capítulo 3: Awakening

Stepping through the Portal, Shane felt an overwhelming pressure piercing through his mind while the ground below him seemed to vanish for a fraction of a second.

Once he took another step, Shane required a few seconds to let his brain comprehend what had happened.

Taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down and the pressure on his mind lessened, allowing him to open his eyes, which he instinctively closed as he stepped through the Dimensional Portal.

However, there was not much for him to see and he was in a white room without any furniture or living being around.

Only he and the Dimension Portal behind him were present when a mechanical voice could be heard inside his mind.

With the sudden appearance of the voice, the pressure completely vanished, relieving his mind.

[New living being entered the Primary-Primordial Dimension for the first time. Race 'Human' detected.]

[Scanning initiated]

[0.1%]

[1%]

[5%]

Time passed and Shane didn't know how long it took until the scan was finally finished when he heard.

[100%.Scan finished]

[No anomaly discovered, System fully integrated]

[10 Gold coins have been added to host's [Finances], please use them up before leaving the System-awakening space, otherwise, the host will lose this small fortune forever.]

After a few seconds, another notification read by the mechanical voice resounded in his mind.

[Information Chart also called 'Status' by 'human' race is now accessible]

Everything seemed to be normal and exactly as stated on the news as he read.

With a single thought, his Status panel appeared in front of him as a blue holographic screen.

_______________________

_______________________

Reading through the panel, two things shocked Shane greatly.

While his Cultivation rank was at the 1st rank of the Mortal stage with a mana purity of [0.00%] which was the starting point for every human, his physique had already reached the 4th rank of the Mortal stage which was the first stage on the way of a cultivator.

This could be considered quite good, as Shane didn't have a body refining technique from the System that could systematically temper his whole body with mana and a high amount of nutrition which would strengthen his physique slowly.

However, this was nothing out of ordinary, as he expected this...

Igra was a planet without a single trace of mana and as such humans couldn't increase their mana and cultivation rank by absorbing and refining the mana in their surroundings, simply because there was nothing to absorb.

Only by entering the Primordial Dimensions, humans were able to feel the mana in their surroundings, and with the right techniques, they were slowly able to absorb and refine them, tempering their life force to create a mana sea in their insides which could hold mana.

With this mana, one would be able to do almost everything, as long as enough mana was provided.

Reaching the 4th Mortal stage at the body refining section was already considered extremely good, without the use of the system's manuals, and the first stage in both cultivation and body refining was considered 'Mortal' because everyone would be able to reach these ranks without the need of entering the Primordial Dimension, even if one's talent was extremely bad.

To reach the top of the Mortal stage one didn't have to rely on the Primordial Dimension as long as a mana source was around.

*

Igra was considered to be one of the worst planets without even the tiniest bit of mana particles and it was already considered a miracle that earth dragons and other terrifying existences that relied on mana invaded their planet, which was relatively uncommon.

Some higher authorities thought it might have been other races that demanded more living space and were testing the waters.

If the rumors were true, they wanted to conquer the planet without even having to lift a finger.

But, they could have never imagined that this decision would provide humanity with enough time to renew their World protection.

This was only a theory and humanity didn't want to figure out the truth as the signals from the adjacent Stella system were already unpleasant for them.

*

Both, Body refining and the cultivation of one's mana were infinitely closely intertwined with each other.

One could only refine the physique to higher stages with enough mana tempering the body by circulating it as per the described ways written inside body refining manuals.

With a consistent increase in the required amount of mana, one's physique became stronger in proportion, and it was apparent that mana had to be cultivated and refined to achieve this.

The same could be said for cultivating the mana pool.

Without tempering the physique, the mana pool inside one's body would grow unstable with the increase of ranks, and the physique could stabilize this.

In the end, humans concluded that it was important to temper and refine both the physique and mana, while most set priorities for a certain path.

This path would be decided by choosing one's occupation but Shane was still far off from reaching that point.

..

Shane found his status more pleasing than he had previously thought.

Continuing to read, Shane glanced across two messages that pleased his eyes..

A Blessing and an Innate Skill!!

Both were considered extremely rare and probably even scarcer than special physical traits that could enhance certain body parts.

[Artemis' Blessing] probably didn't sound amazing for others, but Shane was aware of the Greek goddess from earth, and his eyes widened while reading the description.

[Artemis' Blessing: The Goddess of Hunting, Growth, Birth, and Nature has blessed your Soul. Thereupon, wild animals will be attracted to you, your capabilities to hunt evil tainted beasts will sharply increase, and your determination to grow stronger will cause your will to remain unshaken.

+[Hunter's mind] (passive)

+[Mana pool strengthening] 30%]

The description itself was useless for Shane, but the effects provided by the blessing were exceptional.

The passive effect [Hunter's mind] allowed him to maintain calm in most situations, and to think rationally without letting emotions disturb his mind.

On the other hand, Shane was at least as astonished to see [Mana pool strengthening] as [Hunter's mind] because increasing one's mana pool before the cultivation journey even begun was like an extra enlargement in one's mana pool that would grow with them during the cultivation path.

The most advantageous effect of the mana pool strengthening was that Shane received it so early.

For instance→Instead of having a mana pool of 1 unit his mana pool had the size of 1.3 units.

With time, Shane's mana pool would increase more as each increase would enlarge his mana pool significantly when compared to his brethren.

It was said that having a blessing at the beginning of one's journey was considered a 'blessing by Heaven'.

If the mana pool enlarged by 10% with every rank within the Mortal stage, normal Cultivators would reach approximately 2.35 units while Shane would have approximately 3.06 units

In the beginning, the gap between him and normal cultivators would be marginal, but with time it would only widen, and one would see a 16-year-old silly youth laughing in a completely white room.

As for his Innate Skill [Taming], Shane couldn´t really comprehend what to do with it, but he knew that it was at least as important as the Blessing he had received.

Innate Skills were extremely threatening because of their growth ability!

Shane spotted the (+) behind his Innate ability and smiled brightly.

Every Innate Skill started from the bottom rank as [Trash-★] but this was unimportant.

With the possibility to grow stronger, it wouldn't matter how trashy this skill was in the beginning.

With time, Shane would be able to enhance his skill to the common, uncommon, rare quality, and maybe even higher.

It wasn't much, but even having an extra single Skill than the others would give him a huge advantage.

Nevertheless, considering his knowledge about Innate-Skills, Shane was still eager to see what the Taming skill could exactly do.

Each Innate Skill was considered a limited edition, and even similar Skills couldn´t be purchased easily, nor could they be found within the Primordial Dimension.

At least, not with the growing potential!

However, while reading the skill's description, Shane's smile vanished and was replaced by a deep frown 'Huh?'

[Taming |Trash-★(+)|

→ Tamed [0/1]

→ Limit: [Low-Wild]
