2024-12-06 14:44:23Kael’s body hung limply, wrists bound to the cold iron rod behind him. Blood pooled beneath him, dripping steadily from the gaping wound in his abdomen where the devil angels had driven their blades multiple times. The air stung with the acrid scent of iron and sweat, mingling with the silence of a predator’s den.
He had been captured moments after his arrival, ambushed by survivors desperate to lure their prey. Now, he dangled like fresh meat in their cruel trap.
Kael’s vision blurred, the edges darkening as his body screamed for release. But in the depths of his shattered mind, the faces of his children burned like brands. Their cries. Their helplessness.
“I can’t... die... here,” he rasped, voice barely more than a whisper.
[Warning: Host life functions critically low.]
[System integration at 35%... Stabilizing.]The monotone voice echoed in his mind, distant against the roar of pain. Kael’s lips curled into a weak smile, bitter and defiant. Even in death, I’m haunted by whispers.
The iron rod burned against his skin, a cruel enchantment leeching vitalis he didn’t have. His fingers twitched against the metal, the only movement his broken body could muster.
[Integration at 50%... Initiating emergency protocols.]
A spark ignited in Kael’s chest, faint but growing. His heartbeat stuttered, then steadied. Pain sharpened into clarity as raw energy coursed through him.
Kael’s lips moved, his voice a guttural snarl. “I will kill... I will kill them all.”
[Emergency activation: Divinity threshold detected. Initiating god support infusion.]
[Warning: Host may experience severe side effects.]Kael convulsed violently as energy surged through his veins. His wounds closed with unnatural speed, the blood pooled beneath him swirling and retreating into his body. His chest heaved as strength returned, sharper and colder than before.
The devil angels froze as Kael’s eyes snapped open, glowing with an unearthly light. The iron rod dented under his grip, then snapped like a twig as he freed himself.
"He's a gifted," the masked leader mused, stepping forward, his voice calm but his stance cautious.
"Boss, we need to leave! The beast’s coming!" the tattooed man by his side hissed, trembling.
But Herold grinned, his single eye gleaming with malice. "No one leaves. Not until we have that monster’s vitalis."
Kael turned to face them, the air around him crackling with unseen energy. For the first time in their wretched lives, the devil angels felt fear.
However, Kael’s newfound strength was short-lived. His legs buckled beneath him, and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His body trembled uncontrollably, his earlier display of power draining away as quickly as it had appeared.
Kael’s brown hair, which had turned stark white during the surge, faded back to its natural color. The faint glow in his eyes dimmed, leaving them hollow and bloodshot. Every muscle in his body spasmed violently, a cruel reminder of his limits.
“What... is happening to me?” he rasped, his voice hoarse. His trembling hand clutched at his chest as he struggled to stay conscious.
[Warning: Host was cautioned about the repercussions of sudden god support.]
[Host’s body is reacting prematurely. Stabilization interrupted.]Kael gritted his teeth, pain rippling through him in waves. “What... are you?” he whispered, his voice laced with desperation. "Get out of my head!"
But the voice persisted, unrelenting in its cold, mechanical tone:
[Host has initiated system integration: Divinity Threshold detected. Integration at 65%.]
Kael barely had time to process the words before the ground beneath him trembled violently. The faint rumble grew louder, reverberating through the clearing like the approach of a freight train. Leaves rustled, and branches snapped in the distance.
Something was coming.
The devil angels stiffened, their bravado quickly fading. Even Herold, the masked leader, faltered as he turned toward the source of the tremors.
"Boss," the tattooed man muttered, his voice trembling. "It's here."
The earth quaked harder, and a low, guttural growl echoed through the forest, sending a chill through everyone present.
[Level 20 Mebitor approaching.]
[Mebitor target: Host.][Host survival chances: 0.009% at current state.]Kael’s heart pounded as the words sank in. "Mebitor... what the hell is a Mebitor?!"
[Calculating alternatives.]
[Survival chances increase to 60% with Godseed-level awakening.]Kael clenched his fists tightly, the earth shook so violently that he could feel the vibrations in his bones. He forced himself to kneel, his body fighting back in protest.
[Host current power level: depleted. Pure Energy Welder at 15%. Immediate action required.]
A massive beast appeared in the distance, a body that looked like a blend of a centipede and worm slammed against the trees around as it made way to Kael. It was a beast like he had never seen before, his eyes froze in wide state, his hands trembling in uncontrollable fear.
The Mebitor roared, its deafening cry causing birds and creatures in the trees to scatter in panic.
“Boss, we leave,” the tattooed man yelled, his voice trembling. “Now!”
Herold shot him a sharp glare, refusing to back down. “Stand your ground,” he ordered, his eyes flicking between Kael and the approaching Mebitor.
Kael’s mind raced. He had only just miraculously recovered, but his body was weak and broken. He barely had enough strength to stand, let alone face a beast of this magnitude. Fear gnawed at him as the ground trembled beneath the monster’s massive steps.
The system’s voice cut through the chaos, cold and detached.
[Godseed awakening required for survival. Immediate actions required.]
“What is Godseed?!” Kael demanded, his voice hoarse with frustration and fear.With every step the creature took, his senses fought for him to run but his body was too weak.
[Host is asking the right questions at the wrong time.]
[Countdown to Mebitor attack commenced: 10… 9… 8…]“Do something! Anything! Whatever you are!” Kael yelled, his panic bubbling over as the Mebitor charged at him, its massive claws tearing through the earth.
[Host consent granted.]
[Emergency Godseed initiation commenced.][Warning: Host first debt incurred. Repayment immediate or host life source will be depleted.]The Mebitor lunged, its pincers gleaming. Kael’s body surged with power, his hair burning white once more. He would fight. Or die trying.

Kael’s body vibrated with raw energy as the system coursed through him. His muscles burned, but he forced himself to stand. His desperation to survive outweighed the pain. The Mebitor lunged, its pincers snapping with enough force to crush a rock. Kael leaped, barely dodging the attack. He paused briefly, staring at his hands. The speed at which he moved felt foreign. He had never felt this kind of power before. Everything was sharper, clearer… better. [Godseed infusion active: physical enhancement initiated. Host current power level: 50%.] [Chances of victory: 50%.] Kael clenched his fists, feeling energy crackling through his fingers. But it wasn’t enough to defeat the Mebitor. It was only enough to survive—if he played it right. The beast roared again, its many legs slamming into the ground, causing tremors. But Kael stood firm.

He had no idea where he was going; all he could see was the dense greenery of the thick forest ahead.Behind him, the devil angels were yelling in fury. The bottle he had thrown fell faster than they could catch it. Kael could hear the pounding of their feet as they drew closer.[Warning: Host energy at 10%. Survival chances decreasing.

The system paused, its tone shifting to one of measured neutrality.[Affirmative. Your wife made an irreversible choice in her final moments. Her dominant gift was transferred to you, ensuring your survival. The energy she gifted was sufficient to awaken your full potential.]Kael’s chest tightened as the weight of the revelation crushed him. “She… she gave up everything… for me?” His voice broke, the storm within him roaring.[Correct. Without the blast of gifted energy, your godseed would have remained dormant, and you would not have survived the events that followed.]“Why?” Kael’s fists clenched at his sides. Guilt gnawed at him like a relentless predator. He suddenly felt as if he had a hand in his wife’s death. “Why didn’t she save herself? Why waste it on me?”[It was not wasted,] the system replied, its voice calm and resolute.

He cautiously peered through the darkness, straining to make out the figures.They looked human, but something about them was disturbingly off. Their bodies emitted unnatural steam, and their eyes gleamed with a crazed intensity, as if they had been abusing some narcotic. One of them flexed hands that ended in jagged claws.

Kael’s grip tightened on the bag, his pulse steady despite the threat looming before him. With his newfound ability to assess energy levels, he could feel Herold’s power radiating—a Gifted, and a formidable one at that.“Still mad about the Vatalis bottle?” Kael smirked, blood dripping down his chin. “But why? It was never yours for the taking.”Herold’s face twisted into a venomous snarl. “I fucking hate your kind,” he spat, stepping forward, the tension in his movements clear. “I can’t wait to taste your Vatalis, you Gifted piece of shit.”Kael raised an eyebrow, almost amused. Herold despised Gifteds when in reality, he was one himself. “Tell you what,” Kael said, his voice low and calculating. “You can have the bag, but I still need my head.”“Fuck you, you little piece of shit. Do you think you have the upper hand here?” Herold growled, his energy crackling as he prepared to strike.Kael’s smirk faded, and for a split second, he stopped pretending to be fearless.

Its eyes—if they could even be called that—glowed like polished obsidian catching the light, fixed solely on him.

"Can you help me?" Kael asked, breathing heavily. His body ached, and his head pounded from hanging upside down for so long. His vision blurred at the edges, and the trap’s tight grip on his ankle made every slight movement unbearable. "Please, I don’t think it’s safe here.""It’s not," she answered casually. Her voice held no urgency, no concern. Then, she crouched down, inspecting the trap that had ensnared him. A lazy smirk curled on her lips as she traced the rope with a gloved finger.
