Ryuk left Da city and Dew village after he found out he could get his prize tommorow and entered a large forest. He looked inside himself. He saw 6 large swirls and on top each of those clumps of dust there was a base. Ryuk felt his body burst with strength as he focused on his dantian. Every cell brimming in exuberance. Ryuk also felt a large suction all over his bodies each connected to his dantian. His mutated acupoints were now working and his base was stable how could Ryuk not smile like a kid, also the accumulated blood essence from his spirit guide flushed his dantian enriching him. Ryuk pushed aside the power he was feeling now and was wondering where his law of death was.
"It's not that it dosent exist. I can sense its subtle vibrations. Its just suppressed by something. The death qi is my body is extremely tiny. Ugh whatever my bases have the 5 primary element law why do I care. If I find a solution in the future ill use that. But it really is strange how do I have more than one law within me? Was my theory wrong?" Ryuk questioned, but with no solution apparent for the present he walked back to Da city and went back to the alley he had slept in before and rested.
In the morning Ryuk walked towards a hill near the center of Da city. On the hill there were 18 people. Thomas, Fiona were two of the 18. Thomas came forward and chatted with Ryuk. Their casual personalities made them become friends quick. Fiona also came forward and gave a greeting. Ryuk was contemplating whether to say sorry, but then a faint image appeared in his head. It was his mother hitting his head when he was child because he had pushed a girl when trying to get food. Ryuk didnt want to apologize as he did nothing wrong, but Ying Yue used her special mom techniques and forced Ryuk to apologize. Later that girl would occasionally give Ryuk food after his mother died. That girl died when she was herb picking. Ryuk smiled gently when he remembered that girl and his mother and he decided to say sorry. "Im sorry. I should have controlled myself. I hope we can reconcile." Ryuk said with a smile like a bright, innocent child. Fiona felt her head become incredibly hot and only managed to say one word before moving away in embarrassment "Yes!" Thomas poked at Ryuk and chortled "Tch. All these girls are going for the pretty boy when this mature man is right here. The heavens are too cruel!" Ryuk ignored Thomas and observed everyone. A few looked at Ryuk in fear, some in Reverence, some with greed, some with anger and frustration. Ryuk soon realized a girl with moon like eyes wasnt present. "Thomas. Why isnt Mooneye here?" Ryuk asked as he felt the time ticking away quickly. "Hm. There are two probable reasons. One is that shes embarrassed about yesterday." Thomas said after some consideration. "And two?" Ryuk asked in anticipation. "Two she is the makeshift." Thomas replied coldly. "Makeshift?" Ryuk asked curiously. "See there are some people who get in through lets say less than fair ways. Those people are from a high profile background so they have tons of resources so even though they are in the same batch as us they are way stronger. They stay in the sect using all the best medicines and learning the best techniques. Then when the recruitments season comes around they get one of those people to be a makeshift candidate. They are used to show the disparity between normal people and the people who are allowed to enter the sect thereby keeping the public in their place. Additionally the sect isnt as stable as it seems. Although it isnt enough to break the sect its still in an extremely bad situation so they typically put the makeshift so they dont lose the top prize. Too bad though they met a monster like you." Thomas explained. Ryuk was startled causing him to mature. "Even sects like this use these simple tricks. Ah, I really was far too immature. Every thing has a double meaning I'll have to be careful in the future." Ryuk thought and soon talked casually with Thomas.
"What?! You learnt my families technique? Ryuk dont get me wrong ok, but my families technique might not be the most complex, but to understand it with one battle. That's impossible!" Thomas shouted as he heard Ryuk asking for pointers on his technique. "Hmph! Are you saying this old man is lying?" Ryuk asked chuckling like a monkey at Thomas flamboyant movements. Thomas turned serious and asked "Did you really learn it?" Ryuk nodded. Thomas sighed and said quietly "I dont really mind, but my pops and the rest of my family will kill me and you. So unless its necessary please dont use it. This man has yet to taste the beauty of a woman ok!" Ryuk nodded with a profound assurance. Ryuk also grew to like this monkey looking fellow named Thomas. Ryuk liked his personality, his actions and above all he felt that everything he said was truly genuine. Ryuk didnt know why he got the feeling Thomas was a good person, but he felt it had something to do with the 1000000 hells and his Qilin blood.
A handsome young man dressed in a white uniform with a cresent moon on his chest came down from the sky on a giant swan. "Hello. My name is Jupiter. I am a outer sect disciple of the Imperial sect sent to distribute the rewards and give you your identification token and take you to the sect." The man then swept his sleeve and 18 nice and pretty tokens flew out making their way magically to their respective owner. Ryuk although didnt get one he looked puzzled, but felt a sense this matter wasnt simple. Jupiter then snorted and sent an ugly token covered in cracks and mold with a horrid oder at Ryuk. Before the token even landed in his hand Ryuk stimulated his qi causing a fireball to engulf the token. "Ryuk! What are you doing? How dare you" Jupiter said with a righteous look, but he was inwardly smiling. Ryuk simply shot him a cold look and moved his hand creating another ball of fire and shot it Jupiter. Jupiter was suprised, but still used a water technique, but it simply evaporated facing the fireball. Jupiter was hit in the chest and flung away blood billowed out like a volcano. "Ryuk! What the fuck are you doing!?" Jupiter asked furiously and then said "Just wait I'll report you to the elders and let's see whether you'll be able to live!" Ryuk moved his hand into the fireball floating besides him and pulled out a neat and clean token which chimed as if saying "Thank you master!" Ryuk then looked at Jupiter and then at the other 18 and asked coldly "Did anyone see anything? Didn't senior Jupiter just fall down into a volcano because of his carelessness from flirting with Thomas?" The crowd went silent and then one by one they all agreed as fast as they could. Thomas happily accepted his brothers comment and went on and on "Exactly senior. I know im as handsome as god and its too much, but please Im straight? Im happy that you find me so intoxicating that you even fall into volcanos, but please lets just be friends." Jupiter was dumbstruck wasn't this what he was supposed to say when he broke Ryuks bones. "What the fuck is this messed up situation?" Jupiter thought in his head. Ryuk then jumped up and stomped down on Jupiter's stomach and said "Senior please we understand you want to show us the power of your body, but dont crash into mountains!" Jupiter was mad in anger, but the pain sobered him. Ryuk searched Jupiter's body and found a bag. inside there was some pills Ryuk sorted them out took his prize and sent the rest to the other prize winners then he kicked Jupiter away and jumped on the swan that had been trembling since it met eyes with Ryuk. "Come on lets go! We should accept Seniors kindness now that he has given us his swan and use it as much as we can!" Ryuk shouted making everyone's jaws collectively open "This is plain robbery!" Was what everyone thought as they heard Ryuks words, but they moved onto the swan seeing it being calm and tame. Thomas moved up to Ryuk and quietly asked "You shouldn't have been so excessive. I mean although Jupiter isnt a bit deal he has quite a few friends." Ryuk replied indifferently "No matter who I will not have mercy on my enemies. Plus I hate people who are against me for no reason." Thomas sighed, but also admired Ryuk. "He did that because there's a rumor in the sect made by Mooneye that you cheated. She says that you used the power of spiritual weapon of an elder to cheat your way into victory. Which is obviously fake because to interact with spiritual weapons you need to have a truth stage base, but they are lambs willing to follow their Goddess to death." Thomas explained. "She did that? I thought better of her. Well if thats all she can do lie and form a mob I dont need to care about her." Ryuk said coldly. Thomas then explained "According to my dad. Mooneye isnt really that normal, shes smart and talented, but she doesn't have common sense. My dad said it was Mooneyes junior sister who told her that bullshit causing her to fume and release that statement." "Hm is that so. Well it dosent really matter. If it gets too unbearable I can Just fight her again without the weapon and destroy her standing completely." Ryuk said as he mushed the Swan.
Ryuk didn't know where the Imperial sect was so he commanded the swan to go to its home. The bird flew for 2 days and finally a long mountain stretching up into the sky came into view. the mountain was extremely obvious as the surroundings were all flat ground. At the base of the mountains there was a large boisterous city. The mountain actually looked like a pyramid. At the top of the mountain A large castle made of some sort of crystal stood proud overlooking its territory like a king. Ryuk felt fear when he looked at the crystal palace. Soon the Swan was stopped by two men on top a large bright red Wyvern who caused large storms with a simple flutter of its wings. The two men looked through the new batch and occasionally would click their tongues and reminisce about something. The two men looked at Ryuk and felt fear and also attraction. One of the men who was bald and had a large scar running down his brown skin asked curiously "Hm? Where's Jupiter?" Ryuk closed his eyes and said "He tried to show off and got hurt. He told us to take the Swan as compensation to not talk about what happened. He stayed behind to heal up." The two men looked at each other and then at Ryuk and laughed loudly "Is that so! Hahaha. Anyway kid theres another trial you need to take so head down to the city and I'll take you to do it. By the way my names Brian." The brown skinned man said. Ryuk commanded the swan down. Brian looked at the decending Ryuk and told his friend "Damn! To think Jupiter got bullied just like that. Hahaha serves him right, but I pity Jupiter he only recently managed to capture That Rank 5 Moon skipping Swan and had to pay a insane price to get someone to Tame it for him. To think he'd lose it like that." The other man nodded, but a thought flew through his Yellow eyes and made him Smile jovially. As Ryuk got to the ground. A thick crowd gathered around the swan. Some showed respect, the others anticipation, some curiosity, some jealousy. Ryuk got off the swan and was wondering how to take this Swan when he realized something. "Can my ring take in other life?" Ryuk thought. He tried it and it worked. inside the ring. Ryo who was sleeping with some bacon near him and a can of water was woken up and saw a large swan. The swan was scared of this new environment. Ryo barked loudly "Who are you? This is my territory punk! Wanna die!" The swan nearly fainted when it saw Ryuk. The swan kneeled in front of Ryo who simply asked "Who are ya punk?" The swan squawked and explained. Ryo smiled and then said "Ah. you're masters subordinate welcome." The swan was didnt show a hint of displeasure from being called a servant, but inside it cursed its luck. The swan had been the king of its territory with its speed and bloodline, but then while having a *Cough, cough* time with another Swan it was attacked by a gang of 30 people. In the end it was captured, a seal was placed on it and now it was kidnapped. The swan swore that from this day it would never engage in any sexual activity. Ryuk subsequently appeared at this time inside the ring space and looked at the swan kneeling before Ryo and realized he was right Ryo wasnt a normal beast. "Master! Good morning! I missed you!" Ryo screamed jovially as it ran around Ryuks legs. Ryuk smiled and hugged Ryo. "Master although this guy is worthless and useless until we can fly he's good enough, but theres a soul mark on his head. You should destroy it and then make another one." Ryo said as he saw Ryuk looking at the swan. The swan simply kept its head down, but tears were there even if he couldn't show it he was crying. Ryuk looked at Ryo and laughed awkwardly. "Swan. I won't treat you like a slave. You have the choice to follow me or not." Ryuk said casually. The swan looked up. "I have a choice?" A squawk was heard and Ryuk heard a voice in his head. Ryuk putting aside the amazement of hearing the swan was about to talk when Ryo Chuckled and said as if obvious "Hmph! Who do you think my master is? He's the best person ever!" Ryuk shook his head from left to right and pat Ryo on the head and said "When I think about it In my life most of the best moments I've had weren't in the presence of humans. So unless a demonic beast comes at me, or I need something I'd rather be friends with them." The swan looked at Ryuk seriously and began to think about it. The swan first thought to obviously escape, but when he saw the relationship between Ryuk and Ryo he started contemplating, but eventually it decided to follow its instincts. The swam looked at Ryuk and felt an urge to believe to trust in him, to put everything on the line for him. The swan could be heard in his head again "I'll follow you for now." Ryuk smiled gently and moved forward. He put his hand on the swans head and entered the swans soul. He saw a large seal made from gold. Ryuk shot his soul conciousness line a needle at the seal shattering it instantly. Ryuk although didnt put a seal on the swan. The swan was confused, but heard Ryuk say "If your my friend I dont use you. Oh right I think the name Comet fits you well." Meanwhile Jupiter a long way away coughed up a mouthful of blood "godamnit Ryuk! Just you wait?"
Ryuk came back to reality to see incredulous looks on him. "What happened to the swan?" Thomas asked as he scratched his eyes. Ryuk was about to say he stored it, but a cold feeling in his gut stopped him eventually he said "I used a technique of mine. Its called Disintegration. I knew the sect would probably want me to give back the swan, but I dont want Jupiter to be happy so yeah." Some didnt believe Ryuk, but their understanding of Ryuk was little and from what they knew he was scary so they just chose to believe him without thinking. Soon Brian came down. He shooed away the crowd and proceeded to move towards the mountain.
