Higher grade Soul are completely different from normal Boust Souls. Their composition is more complex and they require an incredible amount of Essence to level up and a lot more to evolve. The stat boost they get with each level is incomparable to lower grade Souls and once they're cultivated to a certain level they gain abilities beyond anything usable by humans. Obviously that growth couldn't be achieved by anyone. Even if one has a high grade Soul they'd one day reach a point were they can no longer cultivate it by feeding on lower grade Souls. That meant they'd have to hunt for high tier beasts and instead of assimilating their Souls they would allow them to be absorbed by their own soul.Charon didn't have a System. His Soul once belonged to a beast called the Volcanic Dragon, one of two SSS tier beasts that ruled over the volcanoes on an island called Burnin. The church had sent its army to hunt the dragons in preparation for the upcoming selection. Many had died and only one

"I see you're finally awake." Roland said as he emerged from the dark."Ah…" Drake was unable to speak.He had known Roland was there. He saw the green dot on the map waiting a small distance away. The tall guy was trying to be considerate, leaving Drake to let it all out before coming in.Drake had cried for hours. It was the only thing he could do. His body was too weak to do anything, otherwise he would've gone in another rampage.Once the tears dried out he sat there staring at the bonfire with empty eyes. He was contemplating suicide. He felt there was nothing left for him in this world. Roland sat down beside him. He placed a small pot on the fire, filled with water, dried meat and some vegetables. He added in some herbs as a seasoning then some salt before letting it boil. The two silently stared at the pot for a while. Soon the sound of bubbling stew was heard and the cave they were hiding in was filled with a pleasant scent. "You must be really hungry." Said roland as he f

"Did you summon me, father?"Rollo walked into his father's office with slumped shoulders and a sulky expression. His clothes were ripped and torn everywhere and his body was full of bruises and cuts. It was clear that he had received quite the beating not long ago and by the look on his face he didn't enjoy it all.It was the result of the intense training he had been forced into as part of his punishment for the mess he made a few months ago. Usually he'd try to be polite and respectful when summoned by his father, however he wasn't really in the mood for that. "Sit." Without looking up, Olaf Dragonspear gave the order in a dry tired voice. Not saying anything Rollo took one of the chairs in front of his father's desk. "Do you know what this is?" Olaf asked, holding up a piece of paper in his right hand.The boy was about to shout how would he know, however he held it in and waited for his old man to continue."It's the latest report from Helga."When he heard that Rollo's mood

"You're a Beastkin!!?" Drake exclaimed, face full of surprises.He then started looking Roland up and down through squinted eyes trying to figure out what part of his was beast like, however he couldn't find anything."Blue Giants resemble humans the most." Roland said. "We can change our size at will, but generally we look the same as humans. Oh! And our skin goes blue the bigger we get. Hence the blue in our names."Drake was stunned for a few seconds, but it all made sense. The tall guy knew a lot about Beastkin compared to the average person. "I would've never noticed if you didn't tell me." Drake said."Well, being able to blend in is the reason I get to leave the village." Roland replied. "I can use my powers to a certain extent without changing my size. Just like what would happen if a human eats a Blue Giant Soul. It just looks like having super strength. Anyways, back to the main topic."Drake stayed kept his silence, staring at his hands for a few seconds."Can we really b

The Blue Giants village is located deeper into the mainland, supposedly hidden between three mountains called the Volcanic Spikes which, as the name suggests, are three active volcanoes infested with S tier magical beasts.Getting there was difficult on its own but finding the entrance was borderline impossible. Apparently there is a magical barrier surrounding the village that prevents outsiders from getting close, causing them to walk in circles before leading them away if they survive the beasts. Since he is unable to bypass it Roland came to the realization that he is no longer considered a part of the village.Drake tried searching from the sky using his flight skill but in the end found nothing. After camping for two days he started to have doubts about the information his friend provided, after all it has been fifty years since he came here last. On the morning of the third day the two woke up sensing a presence. Looking at the miniature map in the corner of his vision Drake sa
