'Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder, not the beholder. What about handsomeness then? I must be drunk on cosmic smoke to even think this bastard is as handsome as I am seeing him to be.'
Arkan thought.
His eyes almost popped out of his head when a bottle magically appeared in the man's hand as he came closer to him.
That was when the bottle was placed in his mouth and the first drop of the milk-like substance touched his lips.
Feeling the hunger, Arkan wrapped his small hands and arms around it for dear life as he drank the nutritious milk. It was like he did not want Draka to take it away from him.
Seeing the handsome man smile, Arkan scowled at him.
'Fuck, if this is fortune and I was rescued by this angle looking wanna be motherfucker, then kill me now. If I have to live with this freak of nature that puts the word handsome to shame, I might be adopted by the Guardian of Fuck You! Before I could even walk.'
Arkan was at it again.
Looking at the child that he had rescued, Draka could not help but think of the conversation that he had with the woman.
'Unlike me, it seems that even when you are a day old you already have a bright future ahead of you.'
He thought, looking at the symbols and thinking of the blood and the fact that this baby passed through the sea of dark clouds without dying or suffering some side effects.
He thought of his own circumstance and quickly started to theorize how Arkan's blood and body worked.
After a while and watching Arkan fall asleep again, a creepy smile started to show on Draka's face.
"Looks like you and I might be more alike than I thought."
He said as a small bottle with a dark green liquid appeared in his hand.
'Is this fate.'
It was the second time that he had mentioned fate and It was the second time that he did not know that if 'Fate' heard him associate her with Arkan, a clap that carried the power of an exploding sun was the least that he was going to get.
This was a week ago.
Each day from the day that Draka had come back from the capital had been some of the worse days in Arkan's life.
This was the same as the others. Arkan would wake up, Draka would inject him with an injection that had a liquid that had been clear as water on the first day, but had been getting greener and greener each time his body gets faster at expelling it from his body.
'Why do his eyes glow red every time Demon Cry glares at him?'
He asked himself. Draka had started calling Arken by that nickname because of the inhuman cry he lets out every time he curses him.
'I better stay clear of them. For some reason, I feel danger when I look at his eyes when they are in that state.'
Draka thought. He did not know everything Arkan was capable of yet but his experience fighting was telling him to stay clear of those eyes when they turned red.
The fact that a flash of red had passed through the dark sea of clouds the day that he had saved him from his fall was one of the reasons that he felt that way even as powerful as he was.
'Seems like I may conclude the first part of the experiment. This seems like the correct dose to keep on straightening his resistances. Should I go on to Fire, acid, or lightning? Some of the most distractive elements to an indivial Primal?'
Draka thought as he retreated to his lab.
He set down and frowned as his excitement died down. He remembered the woman in the shop again.
'It is looked down upon to experiment on children in the Primal World. I know what drives us. We tend to want our children to surpass us in the Primal World and carry on our name, thus driving us to do things that we think will benifeat them from a young age. I am not here to tell you what to do, but if you, just like many others want to give their child a bright future, just remember that he is still a child.'
That was the first thing she had said to him after returning from gathering what he needed for Arkan.
'Woman! I am not experimental ok…. I am making him stronger. I saw that he could take it from the moment I saw those changing eyes of his. It is like that of a man on a mission.'
He thought as he sighed.
'Why am I even thinking about her? What she does not know won't hurt. I just have to make Demon Cry sign a broken contract or just bribe him when he gets older. Besides, he will understand when he is the strongest of his generation.'
He resolved himself and put all this at the back of his head.
He started to write down his findings.
'Resistance to poisons - It seems that his resistance to poisons keeps on growing as his body gets used to identifying them and dispelling them even when he is days old....'
'Rather than fighting against them or destroying them, his body or blood seems to be able to identify them and expel them from his body.'
'A note to take is the fact that I am using a concoction of poisons, which means that it does not matter what kind of poison enters his bloodstream.'
'Healing - His body seems to possess an ability to heal. For now, I can conclude that this is why it is possible for the poison to be expelled in the first place as any part of his body that has been ravaged by the poisons before they were expelled from his body is healed at the same pace as in other observations.'
'It seems the healing process stays the same even when being used each time I inject him with the poisons. Is there a way to increase it?'
'Red eyes - I have the slight notion that those eyes contain some sort of power.'
'The cry - Is this the devil's spawn I am trying to raise???'
'Child care - It might be the first time taking care of a child, but I might be the beast in Eldeir. He shall be the most powerful Primal that will ever walk the face of the Primal World.'
'Symbols - Looking at them, I think an idiot might have written them. They do not make sense whatsoever.'
'The Child - I think he wants to kill me. At the same time, his eyes seem to contain too much awareness for a....'
He could not finish his notes.
The cave shook and he was more than surprised, to say the least. It had been a long time since something similar had happened and this jolted him out of his chair and instantly appeared next to Arkan.
He looked at the walls and he was ready to protect him if any of the boulders fell.
The rambling stopped in a few seconds and he finally looked at Arkan.
Seeing the little devil spawn sleeping like the baby he was, Draka clicked his tough at the innocence and ignorance a child had.
'Only one person in the capital can make the Fortress Mountains shake like this.'
He thought as he went outside to look at the state of his surroundings. When he reached outside he stopped as another thought came to him.
'No, I know of two people who have the power to do such a thing.'
The capital's usual jovial mood was subdued in the days following the announcement that the birth of the first prince had gone terribly wrong.The announcement that the baby had side during birth sent chills down everyone's spine except those who walked the path of the Primal.They had faced so much adversity to just get to the first stage and have the prestige to be called such and walk the Primal World in such for power and immortality.In Eldier, Everyone was born with the ability to wield mana and use it in their day-to-day life, but only those with a high enough aptitude, and understanding of the principal and were lucky enough to get a decent cultivation technique could cultivate and rich a stage where they could form a core.All the Primals in the Dragonian Kingdom and especially in Draga could feel the chill in the air.Even normal people could tell that something was not right. It was as if everyone was respecting something to happen.In the underground part of the kingdom, t
"Ahh, Cantel, when is this bitch going get it over with? I am still just a few cores away from breaking through, my core is itching for me to devour a human's core right now."A man said while clouded in darkness. There were two of them in a dark, wet cave that was in a mountain that was far from the capital. The only light came from four mana stones that were at the ends of an intricate formation that was drawn down on the ground and with the two in the center of it.Not that far from the mountain was a small town with walls surrounding it and guards posted on it, looking at the mountainside.It was called Badenia, named after the Primal who was in the fourth circle of power that guarded the town for many years till she died because she could not break through to the fifth circle.It was one of only three small towns in the kingdom that had a powerful Town Lord that did not leave and went to a bigger city where they could get quality resources that would help them break through."Cot
"Ahhh!!!, It hurts, It hurts!" Cotex was in a dark room and rolling on the floor as blood gushed out from his wounds. You could say that his anger and the nature of his mind had saved him because all he could think about when the unpleasant feeling of being teleported helped bring his consciousness back from the brink of death was killing whoever had attacked them. The veil of darkness had disappeared the moment he received all those grievous wounds and having his mana depleted. Even with the scar on his face, you could tell that he look like a younger version of Cantel but one that had his features more pronounced and his eyes looking more sinister than a snake's. His hair was dark, long, and greasy and he looked like he was 18 to 20 years old but with an aura of being someone powerful even from afar. As he rolled all around the floor, a purple bottle suddenly appeared in his right hand after he let go of his one good blade. He popped it open and drank all of it. Another one ap
Back in the capital, before Cantel's capture and Cotez almost courting death from just one attack that was not even the queen's spell but her having that much control over mana to wield such devastating attacks on Fourth Circle Primals, the captain, the lady from Snake Eyes and everyone had been looking at the queen on top of the castle before she started her rampage.She was more than tens of kilometers away but many had no problem seeing her while others saw a flouting dote in the sky. It was the capital after all and everyone that could afford to stay there had to train their cultivation in order to keep up with the prices and avoid being killed by challenges as per the rules of the kingdom."Dzagori."A person called out as he walked over to someone he noticed in the crowd looking up.It was the name of the captain of the guards of the city gates. Dzagori looked over his shoulder and saw a belly old man with muscles for days. He was bold and had scars all around his right hand goi
'Some would say the means to communicate with someone is the true essence of a human's desire, as to be able to convey one's feelings and to be understood is freedom itself. Well, how can I tell this inbreed maggot of a bastard that I want to throw him into a pit of boiling oil and fry him to a crisp while healing him each time that he is about to die and do it all over again?'Arkan was looking at Draka furiously again as he saw that the injection that was the symbol of torture for him in Eldeir had a now greener liquid in it.Draka saw this and just smiled like he was Frankenstein in the flesh, well only a much, much more handsome Frankenstein. This was all in Arkan's mind of course.Draka just injected him and watched as the process of expelling the poison was much slower again and took some notes down.He had made custom earplugs for the inhuman cry Arkan always let out while for the first time in his life, he had come up with a way to manipulate his respiratory system to shut dow
After that day, Arkan could not think of anything but that scroll. The fact that his intuition was not helping him at this point made him grumpy and now he even felt hungrier than he used to. After thinking for a while, he was sure that it was because of the fact that there were only dotes on that scroll with no real words written and he was even contemplating that it was meant for blind people. What turned his emotions into turmoil though was what Draka had told him after showing him it and going on a teaching spree that came out of nowhere. "This is the base of every cultivation for every Primal turned into a body language. In the Abyss Age, a time when demons walked every continent beside humans, the Old Primordials had to find a way to introduce cultivation to any human with the aptitude to cultivate." Draka said and Arkan was happy that he had been born in this age. He was sure that he would have died in those days for sure. Draka continued. "This was because they were losing
While Arkan was learning more than he thought that he would at the age he was which was only 2 months old at the time and because Draka was now always talking to him like his teacher when drank but understanding that he was a child and so kept his rumblings at least about the simple things about Eldier, he was getting closer and closer to the answer that kept escaping him.He was sure that there was something that he could do to make himself stronger even though all that he could do was to cry and poop, no, not cry but cream which was how he cried.In the capital, the queen came back out of the blue as the golem she had made fell from the sky above the capital and landed outside the First Section walls.It shaded the layer of trees and soil that it had absorbed when it first came to be and as it did so only the houses and humans that were still inside them could be seen as it got smaller. It jumped and landed on the section where there were no longer houses because of it and then fuse
The next day, Dontas prepared himself for something that he had never wanted to do in his life but knew that he was the only one that could complete such a task.‘In my lifetime, I never thought that I would go into that place.'He thought as he turned around and left his bedroom. It was early in the morning and he wanted to get this over with sooner rather than later. He arrived in front of Boa’s store in seconds and stood in front of it for some time as he looked straight at the front of the closed doors. He did not look up at the sign above but he could feel that he was being watched.It was like the old seer was watching, a feeling he was starting to forget. He steeled himself and went in. For someone who looked as scary as he was, this scene was priceless. For a split second, he smelled smoothing that was like boiled rotten flesh being cooked that took him by surprise but he managed to compose himself.“Ohh, you finally came in. I thought u might just pass by like the rest of t
