Circle 2:
(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)
--Rune Descriptions:--
Energy Gathering: A Special Rune that was discovered during a Magical Phenomena and then constantly adjusted and adapted to what it has become today. It is a necessary Rune for every mage that helps in the Gathering of Magical Energy in the environment into the Mages body, to either recover or increase the amount of Magical Energy of the Mage.
Camouflage: A Beast Rune that is found in certain Chameleon species. It is not popular since most don't understand the uses of Camouflage in a spell or Magic Duel, it is a passive type of rune that only requires magical energy to visibly change the appearance of its user and then a small amount of energy to maintain the camo.
Greater Comprehension: A Beast Rune that is found in a very small portion of Owl type Magical Beasts, not much is known about this rune as those who find it tend to keep it to themselves due to its immense help in gaining understanding in knowledge.
Permanent Growth: A modified Beast Rune that has undergone a few adaptions to the initial 'Growth' Rune that is found in a certain species of monkey type Magical Beasts. It's function is to slowly but permanently enhance the size of the user, the limits of this growth have yet to be discovered and could potentially cause the user to never stop growing.
Shadow Lord: A Beast Rune found in a powerful species of Panther Magical Beasts. This Rune is used by Dark Mages and its most common use is, when combines with other Runes to form a spell, to create a Shadow Space that will trap its enemy and then create an 'Area' for dark mages to thrive.
Hard Body: A Beast Rune found in a very common species of Mice Magical Beasts, it is used to passively harden the users whole body and is great for physical defense. It is mainly used in conjunction with Magic that launch a solid object, for example it can be used to harden the Rock in an earth type spell the shoots a Bolder at the opponent.
Toxic Adaption: an adapted form of a Natural Rune, this Rune was created in an experiment to combine a Natural Rune with a Beast Rune. The Natural Rune was from a plant that naturally absorbed the poisons of surrounding plants, the Beast Rune was from a snake type beast that ate poisons and toxins to increase the potency of its own venom. The experiment was a failure and this Rune that was seemingly useless to a Mage was the result, its function is to make the users body to adapt to any ingested Poisons and create an immunity towards it.
Muscular Enhancement: A Beast Rune that is found in Bear type Magical Beasts, this can appear in any species of Bear and usually occurs in Bears that are born genetically weaker than the rest of their species and then still somehow become Magical Beasts. The Rune simply uses Magical Energy to increase the power muscles can release and make the user stronger the more Magical Energy they posses.
Supple Bones: A Beast Rune found in a particular rodent called the Hero Shrew, The Rune is very rarely used in magic but due to the uniqueness of the Animal it is discovered in, it is still widely studied to this day. This rune causes the bones to act as if there were thousands of tiny bones linked together to form a single Bone, thus giving the user an unbelievable amount of bone flexibility, making them almost impossible to break.
Tension Release: A Beast Rune found in a Magical Beast species of Giant worm called Trap Worms, they lie in wait under the sand and as soon as prey is in reach they release the all the built up tension in their body and strike in an instant. This Rune has many applications and has been adapted an unknown amount of times. It is often used in magic spells to build up power and increase the destructive power of a Spell. This Rune functions by allowing the user to build up tension in a targeted area and then release it to increase its effects when they are satisfied with the build-up.

What would you do if you where grated Immortality? Some may think of it is a blessing and others a curse.

This all depends on perspective, if you were granted a choice to be immortal but at a great cost, what would you do?

Well, meet Rob, just your average nerd who fantasizes about immortality and was actually granted it! But in exchange, he has to destroy the worlds of his Masters Rival.

*/I don't want to spoil too much, but this Is basically a story about an average guy being sent to another world(Magic based) and only granted a unique type of immortality, in exchange he has to destroy the world.

The novel is about how he goes about this and how he overcomes various challenges in order to do so.*/

/*It will be a slow start as I want this to be as realistic as possible (It's obviously difficult to destroy a world without being OP), he starts with nothing and has to overcome many different challenges in order to achieve his goal. */ 

*All suggestions and ideas about the book are welcome!! 
If you spot any issues in a chapter please let me know so I can update it

I will try release 4-10 chapters a week from Monday to Friday, this can change depending on how busy I am at work.*

Tangled growth marred the way, with gentle hands Ally eased a path through. The moment her head cleared the blanket of plant life she jerked it back, smothering a gasp.
Idling only twenty meters or so away was a vehicle with four raiders in it.
Four, Ally thought with muffled panic, where the hell are the others?
Holding her breath, Ally moved ever so slowly forward again, until her eyesight was able to focus on the vehicle. Narrowing and widening her eyes briefly triggered her sight to adjust, her hearing intensifying.
'Amico, tu excutiocussum le Prometheans?' called one of the men, causally sitting half out of the vehicle, one foot on the jungle floor, a net launcher lying across his thighs.
The language, a mix of Italian and ancient Latin struck home with Ally, as did the answering voice from right above.
'Non ancora,' grunted a male in an obvious tone of frustration. 'Divieto di ingressus'
Just stopping herself from jerking away and alerting them to her presence, Ally felt a tiny amount of relief at their obvious annoyance at not finding an entry way. But the sound of the door trying to close had caught their attention.
'Riesci a audio quell sonitus?'
'Si fermo!' shouted the angry sounding male, alarmingly close to where Ally hid.
'Festinatio! Festinatio!' the man in the vehicle shouted with a smirk and excessive gesture.
'Fatuus! Zitto!' snarled the one above Ally, his voice seeming even closer as he insulted the man in the vehicle, who simply laughed then made a rude hand gesture in reply.
The sharp scents of metal and blood made Ally's nose twitch with a sneeze. She jammed her tongue against the back of her front teeth and squeezed her hands into tight fists, fighting the urge. It vanished into shock when the man above leapt down, hitting the ground close in front of her. The leap to the ground had to be a good ten meters but he landed solidly on the ground, the leg adaptions hissing and sighing as the hydraulic cylinders within the coiled mass of metal adjusted to the weight changes. Seconds later, with a long hiss from the cylinders, he rose back to normal height and stomped over to the vehicle. From where she stood, Ally could see the dark blood seeping at the edges of the fittings near the top of his thighs, where the remaining flesh and metal melded. The slightest sweet touch to his scent warned of infection along with the arid stench of hydraulic fluid. Ally licked her lips, tasting the scent and clenched her hands tight again to stop a shudder of revulsion.
She didn't want to risk moving quite yet. 
The idling engine ramped up a notch and the snub nosed solid front with viciously spiked maw of a grill began to vibrate, the metallic rattle humming through Ally's teeth. As she watched others came running, piling into the open sides, held in only by the steel wrapped tubes of glittering solar liquid that wrapped around the length of the vehicle, scooting under metal covers and reappearing, zigzagging over the partially open roof before vanishing beneath the solid front.
These raiders clearly had access to impressive funds. Ally chewed her lip while watching them bring the massive wheeled buggy around.
Another figure appeared, dressed in the leather armour like the others, the stains of blood dark on the tan leather. It didn't appear this one had any adaptions but he shouted and waved, a small black communicator box held to his mouth before he shouted to the others as he reached the buggy. 'Gli altri hanno iniziato sulla januae!'
Ally's understanding of the Italian/Latin blend was fairly good and those words made her turn ice cold in an instant.
They'd found the other entrance. They were working on the huge door.
Backing up with the lightest step she could manage, Ally kept her eyes locked on the vehicle until it vanished with a roar, driving up and over the tunnel.
Pivoting, she bolted.
The tunnel felt painfully long as Ally sprinted along its length. The sound of her breathing, steady and strong, provided a constant rhythm to her mind, helping her to keep focused. 
Could they cut through the door at the end? She knew the titanium alloy would be more difficult than probably anything the Raiders had encountered before, but their vehicles suggested they were well equipped and that, in turn, was another concern.
Raiders were humans who chose to live apart from normal human society. Some scavenged for materials and made a living from selling the desired materials back to the cities and towns of humans, others robbed the cities and towns, taking what they liked. Others still chose to solely hunt Prometheans. The money to be made off a single Promethean's blood was excessive and fleeting. Blood, unless carefully contained, wouldn't last long, and in turn the nano-virus, dependent on the high production of megakaryocytes natural to Prometheans, would die out within a week in a human body.
But those raiders she'd seen, those adaptions. They had to be some of the most extreme. Where, and who would do such things? They must have found a human lab, Ally thought while considering it all again. Or at least stumbled across an old medical centre.
Someone else in their town, a scientist like Eoin, had stumbled upon such a centre once. Preserved beneath the smothering ruins of ancient enormous towers, the centre had flared to life as soon as the scientist entered. By the time they'd brought a team back to examine the centre all that was left were the smouldering remains. Raiders had cleared out everything they could and destroyed the rest. A devastating end to what had been the find of a lifetime for the scientist.
The soft echo of her steps grew louder and Ally realized she'd reached the end of the tunnel, the massive spiral door shut tight. Stopping, she stood still, staring at the door and relaxed, letting her hearing expand. 




Nicole MacDonald is a thirty something year old Kiwi who loves to read and moonlights as a novelist. An avid reader from a young age, writing only occurred to her a few years ago after reading a book that didn’t quite hit the spot.
Daily scribbles eventuated into the BirthRight Trilogy, an Epic Fantasy Romance with women who know how to wield a sword, AND swing a punch. A literary journey that included six months of long sword training, as well as ju-jitsu lessons, and self-defence lessons for Nicole.
When not writing Nicole loves to watch all manner of documentaries, escape to her family's cabin in the woods, and spend time with her other half and their fur critters.

Created by science. Hunted by Humans.

Created by science, Prometheans could be the ultimate apex species. But only if they break the genetic shackles forced upon them by their creators, humans.
With their entire population under threat, two Prometheans take the collective fate of all into their own hands.

To save their species from extinction, from the merciless human raiders who hunt them, they will have to break the last taboo. Before the humans reach them…

She glared at the plate and huffed resignedly, F*ck manners! F*ck Etiquettes and f*ck her nanny lessons!
Su Qianwei looked at the enticing delights and bend her head, her hairs joined the search party for food too. She had to jerk her head from time to time to not let her hair fall in the food.
It was humiliating!
After a whole day of suffering, they were greasy and in a desperate need of a wash.
But God didn't save her from that crazy f*cker to die of starvation in the name of etiquettes and manners! So Su Qianwei shrugged off the fact!
After several failed attempt she finally caught two egg quarters in her mouth. The pepper and salt that was in the eggs made her nose itchy and she knew she was going to sneeze.
She at once turned her face away from her food, she couldn't afford to spoil the only fuel her body was receiving after a near-death experience!
Su Qianwei ate with the manners of a newly requited savage man but survival requires adaptions, Okay! Her whole mouth was smudged with sauces, food crumbs and dried egg yolk.
She looked like a five-year-old that had a battle with food and lost. Nowhere was the arrogant Su Qianwei who led the socialite circle with her words as commands.
If her nanny was looking at her from heaven, she was dying again of a heart arrest that was for sure.
Su Qainwei couldn't help but admire his skills. He was more than Okay and easily open a hotel of his own if the Yu's kicked him out for his shady heritage. Hell! She would sponsor him for the heavenly food he made.
After half hour of when Su Qianwei had satisfied her hunger, Yu Wang returned with several cute birds in a little cage, they were dinner. Poor birdies! 
In his hands was also a paper bag which meant he also went to the city to get some stuff and then when he was coming back he would have picked them from the traps he had set on many parts of the forest, she ran into them in her search.
Su Qianwei glared at him hardened so he wasn't listening to all the profanities she had generously dished out for him?! Despicable man!
But it was useless to expect a gentlemanly behaviour from a man who lived his half-life in a freaking forest! 
Yu Wang ignored her presence like she wasn't even there, collected all the dirty dishes in the sink and started to wash them.
Su Qianwei felt a little more mortified than she was already feeling. She wanted to offer to wash the dishes, she had never done any of that but it was no rocket science.
She could afford doing it but Yu Wang would assume she was a snake smiling to look innocent so she saved her breath.
He gave her a brief glance and turned to her again with a snap. His brows reached his hairline. Su Qainwei felt humiliated and averted her eyes to the floor.
Food was still smudged on her face, she must look disgusting but what could she do she was bound on the chair. She was bristling by the fact when she felt a wetness on her mouth.
Her face shot up to Yu Wang who was in front of her holding a wet cloth on her mouth. He dabbed it gently with concern like he was cleaning a baby's mouth, with tenderness and great care.
There was no disgust or taunt in his expressions; Not once did he make eye contact with her through the process, when he was done he turned around grabbed a dry tissue and wiped her face dry and turned back to his work.
She felt a little guilt for her previous judgement of him but stayed quite. This just proved beyond their titles as heirs, they were human with humanity beneath their cruel exteriors. 
Only Lei Xinyi considered it though...
Yu Wang was setting all the spices and ingredients he had bought in their assigned containers and that was the only sound that rung in the potent silence. 
Su Qianwei looked out of the window, it was depressing how the things have progressed, Lei Xinyi was somewhere dead or close to death, all the rest heirs will be on the necks of one another if Lei Xinyi death is affirmed.
But one question was beating her head like wild drums.
"Why didn't you...kill me?" her voice was quiet, Yu Wang stiffened but didn't turn.
"I am not a murderer," his words were laced with sarcasm and disgust, "...Unlike you."
Su Qianwei felt like needles prickling her eyes as she turned deep red. Her stomach was wailing its protest at the cruelty of his words.
Yes, she wanted to kill him but that was in self-defence! He had been the one to chase her first. She was not a murderer too but no matter how she wails her sorrow no wretched soul would ever put their fate in her!
"So you were chasing me to play monopoly with me?" The sarcasm in Su Qianwei voice was an evident entity.
Yu Wang didn't reply. He pursed his lips and moved on to his routine. 
He wants to end the game and the only way to do it is to end the players. It was frustrating and depressing!
Every day waiting for your death like your coffin was already prepared, always looking behind your shoulders, sleeping with your one eye open just so no one is there to put you in the coffin was frustrating, depressing and heartwrenching!
Lei Xinyi wanted to do the same years ago in the Lei's Head Quarter but the death of the last rightful heir's ten years old son changed everything. She couldn't kill him but his death killed a part of her.
He was innocent, defenceless, he couldn't even understand why he was killed. 
Yu Wang wanted to end this misery named life. They weren't living lives, just breathing their impending fates. This life...you had all the money in life but no one to spend it on. You couldn't even have a family, bonds, emotions, once you are killed they would be left for mourning you.
All the luxuries paled, dulled, withered in the face of the ecstasy he could never have, the things he will never see.


“If only heaven was a little closer, she would have been an angel.”
- ONE OF LU XINYI’S BELOVED.

Reading the note Lu Xinyi slightly bows her head down, being shy.

---------------------------------


“It's only because of people like her, I want to believe there is a hell out there.”
-ONE OF LEI XINYI’S VICTIMS.

Reading the note Lei Xinyi scoffs and rolls her eyes muttering a very obvious ‘Whatever’.

-----------------

The runaway bride, Lei Xinyi, and with the tame, Lu Xinyi, having devils on their tails are seeking all the thrill life can offer!!


SNEAK PEAK!!
-----------------------

At her reflection, Lei Xinyi raised her brow. She looked like a thoroughly satiated slut that was available to him anytime at his disposal! The thought suddenly had her stomach-churning.

She bent men to her will since when did she become this desperate. And Damn! That stupid blush on her cheek!

She glared at her reflection. Why the hell the blush?! She was no high school nerd making out with her crush for the first time!

Lei Xinyi looked at her reflection and gave a tight slap on her left cheek. 
"Ow!" At once she cried out at the sting.

She caressed for comfort, instantly regretting harming her beautiful blemish-free, vibrant face.

No matter what, this will not happen again, she will make sure of it! And this time she will abide by this promise!

She acted cordially in front of him for the sake of pretense but of course, the 'service' she was giving him was her selfish needs kicking in from time to time WHICH WILL HAVE TO SYOP!!!

Taking out the makeup remover she wiped the excess makeup and reapplied it. Picking his brush from the vanity table she remade the braid on her hairs. Rearranging her dress as much as she could. 

Lei Xinyi gave herself a once-over and nodded in approval at her appearance.
"Yes, I look like a Queen and I should act like one!" She said to herself with an encouraging smile.

"Sweetheart, you look like my wet dream and you should act like one." Lei Xinyi heard the lazy sexy voice of Li Yuan leaning sluggishly on the doorframe of the bathroom, cleaned up.

Instantly glaring Lei Xinyi muttered, "Shameless bastard!"

Li Yuan shrugged with a sexy bedroom smirk, "What is shameless about confessing to your fiancé?"

Lei Xinyi bit her lower lips and turned around to leave the room, inaudibly muttering to herself, 'Wouldn't have been shameless IF it was your fiancé…'

Chapter 4

He presses his body into mine, parting my legs with his thigh. My clit pulsates at the thought of grazing my pussy against it. 
I lean in for a kiss but he pulls away. His hands softly grip my arms, ensuring I can't move any further.
"Kiss me!" I command, my voice breathy and filled with desire.
Nuzzling the crook of my neck, he lightly traces his tongue into the dip of my collarbone, trailing kisses up to my earlobe gently sucking. I try clenching my thighs in an attempt to relieve myself but he quickly pushes them apart, pressing his thigh against my unclothed pussy.
"Ohhhh...Fuuck." I whisper.
The pleasure shooting up and down my body rolls my eyes to the back of my head. He ceases the movement, holding me against him as my body goes slack.
"Hmm, Flora... I'm gonna do more than just kiss you." His husky voice sends shivers down my spine and straight to my clit. I feel his fingers slide up the inside of my thigh, his thumb presses my nub.
"Uhhh."
"Is this what you want?" His thumb vigorously rubs my clit.
"Yeeesss." 
"What do you say?"
My legs turn into a puddle of jello as my body jerks. 
"Pleaseeee. Don't stop, I'm cumming." 
"I'M CUMMINGGGG."
"Flora." I feel a hand shake my shoulder. "Flora wake up, it's seven."
I groan, forcing my eyes open just as Asia pulls the blanket off the bed. She looks at the pillow between my legs then at me. "That must have been some dream."
Yep.
Wet dreams are the best dreams.
                                                                       ___________________________
The elevator comes to a stop on the fifth floor, the doors sliding open to reveal an open plan office area. The terracotta brick walls lined with plants, the waterfall feature on the far back wall echoes a soothing sound throughout the office as the water crashes against itself.
My heels tap on the oak floor as I walk past tables of working employees to the set of four intern desks lined against one of the ceiling high windows.
"Can you believe Ezra got the job yesterday?" Jaxon, one of my fellow interns, asks me once I sit in my chair.
"Ugh god, don't remind me!" I roll my eyes. "I've been trying to forget since I found out."
He widens his eyes, holding his hands up in defence. "I can't say I'm not happy we don't have to work with him anymore."
Out of the corner of my eye, I see someone place a Jamba Juice beside my hand. I look to me right and find Sophie, another fellow intern.
"What are you guys talking about?" She sits in her seat, practically inhaling her juice within seconds.
Jaxon and I swivel our chairs in her direction. "Ezra"
"Did you hear they're giving him an office?" She gossips.
"Who's giving who an office?"
We silence ourselves, none of us volunteering the information to Asia.
"You were talking about Ezra weren't you?" She guesses, her eyebrows raised. "Don't stop because of me."
"Sophie was just telling us about Ezra getting an office of his own ." I explain
"Thanks for throwing me under the bus, Flora!" 
"She would have found out sooner or later." Jaxon says.
"I couldn't care less about Ezra getting his own office." Asia states. "I've got better things to think about."
"You're not upset he got the job?" Sophie asks.
Asia shakes her head. "Sure I'm upset he got the job. I did all that work and got nothing in return, but everything happens for a reason."
Sophie and Jaxon stare at her as though she's grown a second head.
"And the reason is..." They both trail off.
Asia grins. "Flora and I are going for spots on the team that will be handpicked by the CEO of Dalliance Media."
"Oh my god! You act don't you?" Sophie asks. "You should give him an audition recording, he might cast you I a movie or tv show!"
"She does act but it's been a little more than six months since she's been to an audition." Asia explains to them. "But that's the plan. Hopefully, it works out this time."
"Why are you wanting a spot on the team?" Jaxon asks.
"I..uumm...I hoping I'll get to meet someone in the publishing industry." Asia replies, her cheeks tinged red.
Sophie faces her, leaning forward. "You write? What kind of books? Do you write erotica? I have a friend who writes erotica."
"Uh, yes I do write. I write ya contemporary. No, I don't write erotica. And good for your friend." She answers each question.
"Dalliance Media has a partnership with a publishing house don't they?" Jason inquires.
"Not a partnership, but they do have a specific publishing house they refer to when they want to do a book to screen adaptation." Asia responds. "At least that's what I've noticed."
"What do you mean?" 
"I mean that in the last two years they've really focused on doing book to movie or tv show adaptions. And that's great." Asia exclaims. "But I have noticed that more than ninety-five percent of the adaptions they've done thus far have all come from the same publisher."
Jaxon nods. "If you happen to meet someone from that particular publisher and they happen to like your book enough to publish it, it might do well enough to get an adaption."
"I'm only looking to get my book published. Whatever happens after that is just a bonus."
"You could just go to the pitching conference they have every four months." Sophie interjects.
Asia, Jaxon and I look at each other confused. I open the browser on my computer and start searching for any articles or blog posts mentioning a pitching conference at Dalliance Media.
"I heard through the grapevine that every few months Dalliance Media invites screenwriters, independent publishers and sometimes even self-published writers to a conference type thing where they can pitch their books or screenplays." Sophie continues.
"She's right," I say, reading through the article I found. "Self-published author Jane Everly, known for the steamy Only You series, announced to her one point three million Twitter followers that their wishes for the books to become a series of movies have been answered."
"Oh my god! I love those books." Sophie squeals.
"After being one of only five self-published authors invited to the Dalliance Media pitching conference this year, her Only You series has been chosen for one of six book to movie adaptions they will be releasing in the first half of twenty nineteen. Hopefully, our other wish will be answered and Isiah Colton will play Aiden in the films. Cross your fingers."
The date of the article tells me it was posted on the sixteenth of June twenty eighteen.
"Ugh, I honestly don't know why people think he should play Aiden in the films." Sophie grimaces. "He looks nothing like Isiah does and he can't act for shit."
"When you have a body like that you don't need to have talent." We stare at Jaxon as he stares at the image of Isiah Colten on my computer.
"Moving on from who that topic." I search for Dalliance Media pitching conference, clicking on the first result that shows up.
"Asia look, you can apply to be invited to the pitching conference." I turn the monitor to face her. 
"I'm not a self-published author."
"But you could be..." Jaxon trails

How do you end up being a Professional Kisser for a living? 

Here's how.

- Get wrongfully (but gladly) evicted from you're shitty apartment.

- Publicly quit your job after you're handsy boss grabs you're ass for the hundredth time (and maybe publicly shame your now ex boss while you're at it) (And get a mini standing ovation from the staff and customers)

- Get "slightly" drunk and let a  painfully gorgeous man pay you $1000 in return for a kiss (And dry hump him while you're at it!) (Why not? You have no dignity left)

Ester and Lupa spent another day worried about Vincent as they walked by his side. Both of them took turns, helping him stand after he fell multiple times. Vincent focused too much on the mana control weighting on his body than where his feet landed.


Koss observed with a smile from time to time, reminding him of his younger days when he and his twin brother would spend days training. The twins had a difficult childhood, but they managed to reach this far after leaving the orphanage, which housed many children with no relatives.


Night arrived once again.


Koss sat on a rock and allowed Vincent to continue the practice of CQC. He attentively observed Vincent's training. Koss admitted that Vincent made stunning improvements with mana Filtering and Rejecting in such a short time. 


Koss then noticed how Vincent used Attraction to calculate how much mana is collected and rejected every time.


'This talented genius can already control the manipulation of the traces of mana to this degree. I think I can't get surprised any more than this.' Koss thought while rubbing his chin in interest.


Vincent felt like he was punching and pushing an invisible force at the same time. He could feel a breeze being pushed as if it was an air pocket that can be perceived only by touch and not sight.


To feel something that never existed on Earth and grasp the concept of such a thing was difficult to achieve, yet the plethora of stories he read helped with the three body adaptions. It was an extraordinary and indescribable feeling without the ability to describe unless experienced first hand.


Kazumi also helped with the coordination allowing Vincent to gradually match his breathing and movements without her help the more he trained. As if he slowly advanced from his training wheel, Sensei Kazumi.


'Is this why Koss said, "my job is done?" Because it's impossible to explain until you feel it first hand?' Vincent thought while placing Koss on a pedestal as the best teacher he could have ever met. Similar to a tutorial NPC that appears at the beginning of a game.


"Daddy, are you not bullying big brother today?" Tula asked as she stood beside her father, watching Vincent train with a determined gaze and a pair of green eyes gleaming under the moonlight like a pair of emerald jewels.


"There is nothing more I can teach until he succeeds in awakening a Trait. Now it's all up to him, my baby girl. He is a bright young man..." Koss replied, then continued after raising a frown, "But daddy is sad. Did you think I bully Vincent all the time?"


"No. Big sister Ester said Daddy is helping. But I only see big brother in pain instead." Tula raised a curious frown while cutely placing her index finger on her chin.


"Does that mean you don't know how long my mate will be in pain?" Lupa approached when she overheard Koss talking about Vincent with her heightened hearing.


"Don't get me wrong when I say this, but Vincent should have suffered the trial to temper his body over the course of at least a few months or a maximum of a few years before someone gives up... "


"But Vincent achieved all this progress in a few days. So I don't know how long it will last. He is a talented genius that the book of CQC history has no records of this kind of body adaption speed." Koss shook his head apologetically. He ended up spilling the truth after feeling Vincent got the hang of the three body adaptions and could practice safely alone.


"I will take care of Vincent, no matter how long it takes. " Ester added from behind Lupa.


Ester got curious when Lupa wagged her tail with interest when she left to join Koss and Tula. She soon heard worrisome information, yet she steeled her heart to help Vincent as he helped her in the deadly trail to self magic resistance.


Ester was afraid of the unknown as the unknown almost killed her from a freezing death. She knew Vincent's body was special, but it was also the cause of her worrying. Watching Vincent suffering made her heart feel a pang of pain every time.


Vincent held the fighting stance, followed by a short quick breath. A tightly clenched fist shot the final punch with a breathing hissing sound.


Every second and every moment was ingrained in his body, almost to perfection. The intense focus surprised even Koss.


Vincent barely made a single mistake in the many hours he trained with and without Kazumi's help. It felt as if Vincent's body recovered stamina, learned, and adapted at an astounding rate.


Vincent withdrew his combat stance after the last strike as it was time to sleep.

.
Vincent inspected himself every time he went to sleep, but only a frown appeared on his face by the result every time. He couldn't see the Trait stat unless he upgraded his inspection.


[Don't frown like that. Didn't you want to hoard Soul Power?]


-I know, but... a progress bar would be great at times like these.-


[You are mastering the third body adaption, so don't worry. I also heard Koss say how you achieved something only achievable in months.]


[You aren't overpowered, but maybe this is your calling. Now trim your long hair like every night and go to sleep.]


Vincent nodded after he sat on the makeshift bed. Lupa swiftly sat beside him. In her hand was a knife they normally use to cut his hair every day. The more his body adapted, the quicker his hair grew.


"It's my turn today, hehe." Lupa joyfully said as if it was something she waited all day long. 


Lupa started a new hobby after they joined Koss's group. She started hiding a few strands of his hair and sniff his scent when no one looked before closing her eyes to sleep. The loneliness of not sleeping by Vincent's side would make her yearn to sleep like she usually did.


Ester closed an eye to the sneaky happy Lupa. She decided it would be best to let the wolf girl keep a few collected strands as if she saw nothing in the happy Lupa's possession. 


'A happy Lupa is a problem-free Lupa.' Ester thought while Kazumi, who saw it all coincidently, thought of the same thing.


*Day 37*


The next morning arrived for the group of nine people journeying to Lusterfall City. The bright sun rays landing on their skin, and the warm breeze was slowly waking them up.


They rested in an open area with a few meters without trees. Soft grass and a few wildflowers laid next to them, releasing a relaxing scent of nature, yet it felt too hot to continue sleeping without the shade.


"Ugh... it's hot." Vincent opened his eyes and wiped his forehead. He pulled himself up and felt a strange emotion welling in his heart.


"What is this? I feel a bit excited..." Vincent noticed his face donned an excited grin. He slept alone, and Koss was awake, drinking a cup of water. Neither Ester nor Lupa slept beside him to cause such a feeling of excitement.


Vincent closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As he gently exhaled and repeated a few times, the strange excided feeling subsided. However, his heart still lightly raced.


[Are you feeling something strange? You seem to have had a wonderful dream. Perhaps a wet dream? Hehe.]


-No... it felt almost similar to when I lost myself to anger.-


[That's not good. You didn't use any mutation powers other than Soul Dimensional Storage these past few days. So I don't have any ideas as to why the feeling of aggression returned.]


-Could you keep an eye on me? Tell me if you notice something strange.-


Vincent suddenly felt a faint killing intent directed at him. His body was susceptible to malicious intent, so the survival instincts immediately activated the three body adaptions by pure instinct to survive. 


His body started rejecting the mana, building a thin film of mana protection and increasing the body weight to keep his balance steady. The intense training he practiced and his survival instincts worked as one.


*Smack*


"Good morning, my boy. haha." Koss said with a loud laugh while delivering a loud smack on Vincent's back.


Vincent jumped forward without losing his balance and glared at Koss with potent killing intent. His arms raised, and his fists clenched, holding the same stance he repeated thousands of times. His body was prepared to fight.


"Wow there, my boy! It just a congratulatory smack... since you adapted for the third time and completed the basic training." Koss was at a loss for words. 


He didn't think Vincent would subconsciously activate the three phases of body adaption and simultaneously send a potent killing intent similar to a veteran soldier who experienced many battlefields.


"Vincent, what's wrong?" Ester asked with a worried frown.


"Did you get hurt? Want me to help get revenge?" Lupa quickly added with her fingers extended. They were prepared to shapeshift into combat form and extend her sharp claws at a moment's notice.


"Daddy, I hate you! Don't bully big brother, you meanie! " Tula rushed between Vincent and her father to stop them. Tears welled in her eyes. It looked like she was about to cry.


[What happened now? You look on edge. Did Koss scare you?]


-I... I felt killing intent and then received a smack on my back. But it seems it wasn't a dangerous attack as my senses picked up.-


Vincent withdrew his combat stance. He took a few calming breaths and relaxed his restless heart.


"It's ok... I think my skin is still sensitive to intent. My body thought I was about to get attacked by a deadly attack." Vincent explained. He lowered his head and apologized for making them worried, "Sorry for worrying everyone."


"Ahh... it's my fault for trying to congratulate you. " Koss felt a bit embarrassed for causing this situation. He didn't think Vincent would notice an approach without any intent.


'Why did Vincent call it a deadly attack? I'm sure I didn't use any intent to surprise him.' Koss pondered, hiding his puzzled expression with a poker face.

.
Vincent inspected himself, but the result was both good and bad. He now owned two hundred Soul Power, but the strain of the training built up to the point of causing a new condition to appear.


[Don't worry about this strange condition. My house... I mean, the Soul Domain is unaffected.]


-Why do I feel unpleasant about this comment?-

Vincent lost his parents at a young age to an unknown infection that mysteriously spread in a large city which was holding a massive worldwide event. He survives but he becomes mutated by the infection. In the end, he blamed himself for his parents' deaths because he was the one who insisted on visiting the event.

Years later, Vincent meets with an infected survivor named Kevin, who helped him heal his heart. However, not all stories have a happy ending. Unfortunately, Kevin would pass away ten years later and leave a book with heroic tales as promised behind. 

However, the book wasn't as it seemed and after Vincent reads the book, it teleports him to the world the book depicts. A world of sword and magic with a horrible twist. Heroes are referred to as invaders, so people hate, persecute, and kill any otherworldy hero summoned to their world. 

As an oddity to the world and possessing an oddity residing in his body, Vincent becomes the only person in the world to awaken two classes. A Hero and a Mutation class. The more retainers he acquires, the stronger he becomes through mutation.

This is the journey where Vincent starts from naive to brave, zero to a hero. From a single young adult to a harem king, from a nobody to an important person to many. 

As Vincent tries to survive with people he can trust, he would receive many titles such as Harem King, God, Miracle Worker, Hero, Husband, Master, King, Monster, and many more.

Multiple questions will haunt Vincent's thoughts while living in the new mystical and strange world.
Go back to Earth?
Protect his new loved ones?
Find the mystery of the teleporting book?
Or create a haven where he and his loved ones can live in peace? 

These questions are for the readers of the book of heroes to discover as his story unveils itself.

Born A Monster
Chapter 41
Chains
Few things remind you to work on the social skills under Charisma like being chained to a wall by your neck.
I had time to peruse all of them.  All of the social classes that gave perks.  There were some bizarre ones, like Sexy Chains that gave a bonus if you were, for example, chained to the wall.
Somewhere, I'd gotten a single development point, and I was looking for anywhere to put it that would help me get free.
I had no plan to get past the locked door once I'd done that, but I'm pretty sure any escape involved … maybe with my new Might 3, I could break the chains?
Nope.  Humans max out at Might 5, and these chains were meant to hold those people.
Don't try picking locks with your claws.  Just don't.  Actually, maybe your claws are sharp enough and thin enough.  Mine?  Not a chance.
Both the chain and the wall were tough enough that I'd just hurt myself if I tried to claw through.  I could, over a mere year and eight months, use the chain to scrape enough stone loose from the wall to have a chance at breaking free.
I'd starve by then.  Actually, what happened if I couldn't pay my biomass debt?  
I let that loop of speculative worry cycle through my brain for about twenty minutes or so.
Okay, one way or another, I'd likely find out.  Until then …
Actually, I'd been wanting some down time to explore my System.  
There seemed to be no difference between spells I'd learned through practice and those acquired through the System.  There seemed to be no difference between Spells, Abilities, Powers, Traits…  the System treated them all the same.
Skills, as easy as they were to gain through use, seemed to possess Inherent.  I could use them all day every day, with no danger of the skill just not being available when I needed it.
Statistics had substats which had skills which had subskills, and each was limited to no more than a 33% improvement on the larger level above it.  Higher levels meant better skill performance when automated through the System.
Like foraging.  For rats.  Actually, there were no cracks in the walls, and they seemed to huddle in the corner, or explore the other walls.  Wisely, they stayed well away from me.
"How did you guys get in here?" I mentally asked them, not really expecting and answer.
"Fell in through the window." The fattest among them replied.  Crap.  Aware.  Okay, off the menu.
"Can you help us?" asked the smallest.
"I suppose.  What help do you need?"
"Well, you're too small to reach the window, but do you think you can hurl us through?"
"I don't know.  The angle isn't good… I might hurt you if I miss, or if you strike the bars."
"White patch!  No!  look at the scales!  He'll eat us."
"Nothing able to ask not to be eaten is to be eaten." I said.  It's some kind of creed among the Aware animals, although not all animals adhere to it.
I'll not go over each throw, but eventually three bruised rats thanked me and went about their way.  
#
And thus, I wasted my entire food supply.  Stupid moral code.  It wasn't even in the System, why would I do that?
Because I could, I suppose.  Even if I couldn't help myself be free of that place, it was worth it to know that I had freed others.
Okay.  So I had time, if not development points.  I had a tortoise shell with a shadow familiar.  She could … cast Shroud.
I could send her with a message to the others, if I knew where they were.  Could they hear her thoughts the way I could?
[Psionic class Telepath: 64/100 XP to unlock.]
Okay, that wasn't going to help.
Wait.  I had an inventory.  One knife, two stacks of grass (which I moved, mouthful by mouthful, to my stomach), and some level 1 bandages, treated with sage and garlic.
Hrm…
Well I had a 3% chance of picking the lock with the knife, and a 92% chance of lowering the Condition of the knife by trying.  Maybe if I were more desperate.
Besides, knives are multi-purpose tools.  I could use it to chip away at the wall.
Wait – why would the Whitehill guild put me here?  It made no sense.  Unless they really thought I'd sign myself into slavery…
What could Reynald do, if he decided it were worth fighting them on my behalf?
Well, three days of travel there, three back.  I should probably just not count on any help from my guild.
Okay.  So…
I had a linen shirt and pants, a straw hat, some bandages, a knife, and Black Snake's home.  The cell had a few strands of rotting hay, and metal chains that wouldn't detach from the walls.
I had a bunch of biomass adaptions that made me a danger to rabbits and chickens, and maybe a match for an unarmored shield bearer.  Any type of warrior would just overpower me.
I lacked the materials or mobility to make traps.
Magically, I had access to a variety of abilities, none of which seemed the sort of thing to help.  The local mana was – was going to the guildhall's mystic barriers.  I could risk tapping it, the same as you might try to grab the spoke of a wheel while a cart was in motion.
Again, something for later.
I had dream abilities – that I could use to reach the others tonight.  Okay, that's some progress at least.
As for the chain – it was slightly rusty.  I could at least clean it.  Faster and easier using the bandages, which I could also use as rags to clean the wall and floor.
No.  Let's not use my medical supplies to help my captors look nice and tidy.
But I did let my System start scraping rust from the chain with my claws.  It was something to do.
I lacked an axe, and nothing other than the door all the way over there was wood.  Wait.  The door was wood, but without reinforcing metal bands.
Given enough time, I could get through the door.
#
Having come up with nothing better, I let Black Snake out for the night.
She flashed me CONCERN, and then flittered around the room before heading out the window to explore the town.
Okay, so all I had to do was stay awake long enough to know that one of the others was asleep.  It wasn't as if…
Could I draw Metal mana from the chain?
[You cannot tap this object.]
Okay, it was worth trying.
When I felt like I couldn't stay awake longer, I cast Lucid Dreaming.
Adara was still awake, Philo was still awake, Gustavian-
Gustavian was dressed all in black, sneaking through well-crafted corridors of granite.  
"Gustavian."
He swept me into a shadowy alcove between two torches.  "Shut up.  Stay there."
He snuck off along the corridor; I followed him.
"Gustavian, I need help."
"I pass on your optional quest line.  Go away."
He ducked into a shadowed space between two suits of armor.
An armored guard rounded the corner, blinked at me.  "Alarm!  Alarm!  An intruder is after the princess!"
He lowered his short spear and rushed to the attack.
I tried to grab a shield from one of the empty suits of armor.  It shook me off.  "How rude." It said.  "Get your own shield."
Because dream logic.
I only needed to dodge once.  Gustavian came out of the shadows behind him, stuck his sword under his helmet but above the gorget, and was back in the shadows.  One motion, smooth, practiced.
"Gustavian…"
"Pairs, the guards travel in pairs."
"Oh help, help!  I am all alone and weaponless, right here!"
"Protect the princess!"  
I had the first guard's shield.  "I don't understand.  I've done nothing-"
He charged, clumsily.  The trick of blocking with a shield is the angle. You don't try to stop the blow, you deflect it away.
Swoop, stab, glare.  "What?  You think we can fight them all."
"I do." I said.  "They have nice equipment, but these aren't true guardsmen."
We made our way through the structure, homing in on one tower in particular.
I'd like to say we fought our way up that tower, but it was simple for him.  He even knew which guard had the keys to unlock the door on the top floor.
"Princess?  I've come for you."
"Daddy?  Daddeeee!"  She flew into his arms.  
"Hey, princess.  Daddy's come to rescue you."
She snuggled to him the way Kismet snuggled to me.  "I knew you'd come, daddy."
"Hey, Princess.  Do you know where you are, where you will be when you wake up?"
"Latla, Daddy.  It's a farming village called Latla."
"Daddy's looked, princess.  What else can you tell daddy about Latla village?"
"It's by a river, and has its own mill.  It's run by a water-wheel."
"What are the nearby villages, sweetie?"
"Mommy won't tell me.  She's already talked to the neighbors, they won't tell me either."
"It's okay, princess.  You ready to get out of here and go to Gumdrop Valley?"
"Rainbow Falls." She said.  "Daddy, Pooka Bear."  She extended her arms, and a stuffed bear by the bedside summersaulted into her arms.
"You got the sheets?"
"Uh-huh, Missus sheets, if you please?"
The bedsheets obediently tied to each other's corners, opened the window, and tied themselves to the hinge of a nearby toy box.
"Okay, princess, let's go."  One hand around his princess, the other around the sheets, and he descended into the night.
#
It wasn't hard to find Rainbow Falls.
"Look, Daddy, it's your friend again."
"He's not a friend, he's just like daddy's Pooka bear."
She looked at Pooka bear, who sipped from a teacup and nodded.
"If Pooka bear can have tea, he can, too.  Sit down, mister, it's teatime."
"I thank you for your hospitality, princess."
"Kid, this really isn't a good time, you know?"
"Family time.  I'm sorry, Gustavian.  I need help."
Pooka bear handed me an empty teacup, poured me some invisible tea.
[You have converted 3 Dream mana into a serving of paltry tea (level 0).]
"Mmm."  I tried to smack my lips.  Reptilian lips just don't work the way human lips do.  "Thank you, Pooka Bear."
Pooka bear nodded at me; I nodded back.
The princess cocked her head.  "He's nice; I like him.  Any night my daddy doesn't rescue me, you can."
"I'd actually like to help your daddy, princess."
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I need your help.  I need you to remember I need your help after you wake up.  Princess, I'd like you to help your daddy find you."
Princess looked at Pooka, who shrugged at her.
"Daddy really loves me?"  She started crying.
"Daddy will always love you, princess."
She ran across the table to hug her father.  Pooka bear raised both hands to cover his eyes, setting the teapot upright and dabbing with napkins at imaginary stains.
I tried to help, but Pooka had to point out spots that I missed.
"So mister, how can I help?"
"Can you envision Latla?  What you've seen of it?"
The smile just popped off her face.  "Why?"
"Maybe if we can see something, a river, a mountain, smoke from a nearby river.  Perhaps then we can find you."
"I'm scared." She said.
Pooka bear stood, put his hands on his hips.
She nodded.  "You're right, Pooka Bear.  I've nothing to fear with both you and daddy with me."
We all held hands, Gustavian, the Princess, Pooka Bear, and myself.  And with a hop, a skip and a jump, we were there.  Because dream logic.
The people there couldn't see us, because they weren't really there.  They went about their day, talking to each other.  In highly accented goblin.
"Uruk" I said.
"God Hand tribe." Gustavian said.
"Princess, do you speak the goblin tongue."
"She's been learning." Pooka said.  "But you sound like some kinda hick."
"Yeah.  You speak funny, Mister."
"Gustavian.  Come to the ridge, here."
"Daddy, don't look."
"Why not, princess?"
"Mommy says as long as we don't look at them, they can't see us."
"It's okay, Gustavian.  It's a long distance view on the south side of the city of the Crimson Hand."
