Chapitre 2: Ruler of Bone - 1
"Aleta can you bring me water in a mug or beer cup or bucket is fine as well. Drinkable water okay?"
Aleta without questioning Xion leaves him alone to fulfill his request. Xion seeing Aleta leave walks towards the bush closest to him and grabs a handful of its leaves and puts it into his mouth. Chewing right and left a few times then he swallows the bitter and tangy leaves down. Before Aleta arrives he already cleans the bush of its leaves. He keeps on putting leaves and chewable twig to his mouth.
"Brother, why are you eating leaves? What would happen if you get a stomachache and you're still injured as well!"
Xion turns his head and looks into Aleta's eyes seriously while his hands still grabbing more leaves for his rumbling belly.
"Don't worry. Let's talk while I eat. Firstly… don't put that worried face on me. I'm fine. Lesse, where should I start? So while I was in a coma I've awakened my bloodline and it comes with a few perks. I can eat anything organic and poisonous (probably) to fill me up. And with a full stomach, I can heal myself like a troll or some sort that has a similar regeneration ability. Now, fill me in about what happened after I passed out."
Seeing the bush has been clean by him he moves his body to another bush and began to stuff his mouth with leaves and soft twigs like a delicacy. He can feel that his rumbling stomach began to subside but his energy yet back to him.
"After you blind two of them and partially blind another two a warrior come charging and kick you from behind. Then he beat you up ceaselessly making you spewing lots of blood and Anne throw a stone to that warrior's eyes. Thankfully with his focus on you, the stone plucks his right eye making him go defensive. We hurriedly take you away. Yet again with Anne's help. She threw sand at that warrior's eyes. Then I put you into my back and we run from that place. But, not long after, he chased after us. As he succeeds catching up he then punched Anne before we can react-"
Xion instantly stops what he was doing and look at the hut while gritting his teeth. His eyes turn bloodshot from anger. Even Aleta can feel his wrath.
"Go on." With a growling sound like an angry beast, Xion urges Aleta to continue the story. He knows that his priority was to get better and get revenge later. He doesn't ask about Anne condition because she outwardly looks fine but he will need her to get check with a specialist soon. And that requires him to get better first.
Aleta had a mix of guilt and sadness plastered on her face and other emotion flashes in her eyes as well.
"Hearing Anne scream you woke up and confront the warrior guy. I don't exactly see how and where you get a knife but you stab his lower jaw. He strikes you with his glowing red palm and sends you flying. Later we sneak out of the city and keep walking towards the forest. Thankfully it was raining hard that night so our tracks probably get erased by the rain. Then we found this hut and we take shelter here."
"Wait. The footprint won't get erased by the rains rather the muddy grounds would point it to us clearly."
"I don't know but, when we passed by an old bridge it collapses and dragged away by the flood. Maybe that's the reason why they didn't find us yet."
"How long it's been since I passed out?"
"Four days and three nights."
Listening to Aleta's answer Xion ponders about what the kids have been eaten these passing days. Since thinking won't get him anywhere, he asks her directly about the kids' food.
"We eat fruit, nuts, and berries we can find near the hut. I tried to get a bird by throwing stone but I failed miserably, not even one of many attempts I did succeed. Because brother still not conscious I don't dare to go far or make too many noises afraid of the forest predators would come for us."
"Good job Aleta."
Xion looks around him carefully and walks around the hut slowly taking in any detail he can find and exploit. Of course, he doesn't stop putting leaves and twigs to his mouth. While checking the surrounding place follow by Aleta and sometimes take a chug of water from Aleta. It takes more than an hour and Aleta needs to go back a few times to get him the water he can drink. An hour is all he needs to clean all bushes, twigs, tree leaves 300 meters around the huts he finally recovered to his peak condition. His bruised face was gone without traces leaving no scar behind.
Even though he already in his best condition his instinct keeps telling him to keep on eating everything around him. Following his instinct, Xion scrambles further away from the hut and told Aleta to go back into the hut accompanying the children.
Suddenly he thought about the SHOP and a list of things shows up on his mind. From intangible (knowledge, bloodline, etc) to tangible like weapons and stuff. Thinking about the disorderly mess the system updated itself into a more orderly section.
[Search: …]
[Intangible: …]
[-Knowledge: …]
[-Bloodline: …]
[-Skill: …]
[ … ]
[Tangible: …]
[-Summon: …]
[-Item: …]
[ … ]
[Question: …] (100 value – unknown value per question)
[Available Value: 4562]
Xion doesn't appear shocked or bothered by the update of the system because of his current thought focus on his current responsibility so he decisively chooses the question section and uses it.
'Tell me how I can get stronger faster!'
[100 value deducted.]
[Answer: Get an innate Lord of Blood evolving your body further than the original Titan.]
Receiving his answer Xion search for it and found that the cheapest one cost 1.7 million of value for a Diluted one while the complete or Purest one cost 89 billion of value.
'What a ridiculous price. I don't even have 5 thousand at the moment and where the hell can I get another 1 and 6 million and the rest? Loan?'
Once again Xion uses the question section and asks 'Explain to me in detail the way I can get the value point.'
[100 value deducted.]
[Answer: A transaction!]
"Fuck! You called that detail? Don't you understand the word 'explain'?"
Xion cursed under his breath for wasting his points and get his hoped crushed.
'I thought it would give me a quest like in an RPGs games or stuff like System-based novel.'
He clicks the question again in his mind and put several questions at the same time. 'Give me suggestion to get stronger faster without using any value point! Why I've Demi-gods beside my race? Can I give what I bought from SHOP to other people? …' Xion keeps inputting questions in his mind searching for any information his hands can get on.
[Insufficient value! Prioritizing the question…]
[4040 value deducted.]
[You can get Over-eat by eating everything you can see in 10 hours constantly without stopping. In the process, you can get high-speed metabolism. With three types of consuming skills, you can get stronger the more you eat.]
[You had a part of gods soul in you that's make you qualified as a demi-god]
[Positive!]
'Now I'm left with only 322 points and I don't get enough information on how to use these Lord of Bones or how to awaken the Titan's heart. Whatever, what comes first will come first.'
Xion contemplating his next moves stop moving and look back at the hut. He walked towards the old hut and open the old door that looks like it would fall apart at any moment. Opening the door, he can see two kids while the youngest one with green hair falls asleep in her big sis lap, drenching her with drool. They sit and talk to each other happiness plastered on their face brightly.
"Hey, be a good kid you two and stay here with your big sis. Big bro will search for meat for us to eat. Aleta protects them while I'm gone and don't leave the hut until I'm back. It'll probably take couples of hours before I get back is that okay?"
Aleta nods her head and gives her promise to him.
"Why are you going again, brother? Stay with us, please." Jill asked with a pleading look on his face. He was afraid that his big brother would get hurt once again if he leaves them. His yellow hair and a bit of baby fat on his cheeks trembled.
"Jill, you are a boy so you need to be strong so you can protect your sisters. You are the only man in the house while I'm gone. Don't you remember what I always said to you? And don't forget about Jean she needs to eat meat to grow big and strong, including you four."
Jill had a look of holding his tears that would flow out at any moment. His eyes turn watery but no words come out of his mouth.
"But we're satisfied already with eating berries and fruits and nuts!"
Xion pet Anne's head for her statement. Then he gets on his knees and looks at her eyes whilst tidying up her bright red hair.
"I heard from big sis you were the one that saved me from the bad guy. Thank you. Anne, you are a strong girl and, in the future, you will get stronger than the lots of us or any person out there."
He stands up and said he'll be back soon, then leave.
Xion wandered around before he quietly chooses the place to start his journey of getting the skills, he needed to get stronger. Hours passed in a blink of an eye and he began to feel something coursing throughout his body at each beating heart of his. Sometimes it feels warm, sometimes it feels cold, sometimes it feels like it would want to tear him apart.
Xion was already experienced with pain in his tens of years of harsh life in the slum and society or by the so-called fair nobles.
He doesn't stop eating and keep on trying to control the force within his body. The more time passed the more violent the energy within him. Feeling the dangerous situation, he was in, he checks his status to get more information about his current condition.
[Name: Xion Ragnar]
[Race: Human|Demi-god]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 18 Agility: 12
Vitality: 13 Magic: 5]
[Condition: Overflowing magical energy.]
[Skills:

-High-speed metabolism (lv 1): boost the speed of your body metabolism.]
For a moment he forgets about his pain and checks his growth. Xion felt happy in the midst of his current predicament. Who wouldn't feel happy seeing their power rising and free without the use of the expensive potion… If you don't include the pain that is.
Yet, his happiness doesn't last long. He can barely stand on his feet without the support of the tree. His consciousness began to fade. Xion in his in-out awareness look around him calmly to search for anything that can help him. Maybe it's because of his demi-god soul or his unbreakable will that allowed Xion to stay conscious.
At the edge of his vision, he saw a carcass of canine or some sort. He instantly thinks about his innate skill (bloodline) Lord of Bone. He forced his body into the direction of the carcass swaying left and right like a drunk man out of the pub. Weirdly, his swaying doesn't increase the distances of him to his destination, the carcass.
Arriving in front of the carcass of what supposed to be a wolf. Xion reaches his heavy hands toward the back of the wolf. The maggots crawled around his hands. Xion in his mind yelled 'Rule of Bone' to maybe activate the skill. The skill indeed activated but partially. The volatile energy in his body began to rush out into the bone of the wolf. He can feel his energy flow through every inch of the bones even to its mangled bone.
The volatile energy inside him began to recede and the pain slowly subside. Still, he doesn't know what to do next. Should he just let the energy to dissipate into this animal bone? Assuming the energy that had been causing in havoc was aether it would be a shame to just let it gone like that.
Xion ponders about what he can do about the aether that starting to dissipate into the air.
"I'm the ruler of bone. I want these bones to change into a spear that will pierce my enemy." He yelled gritting his teeth while imagining a white spear on his mind.
Instantly the piece of meat, organ, and bits of the wolf carcass explode raining everything around it leaving only a set of bones lying in the muddy ground. The bone turns into a semi-liquid like state and it slowly changes into a plain white spear.
