Charlie’s body was now gathering energy from around. The golden tendrils shot out from every part of his body, from the scalp of his head to his toenails. He was now looking like a tree monster as sat down in the giant cauldron. A few minutes later… the tide of the violent energy had receded, revealing Charlie who was now fairer than before. His toned skin shined brightly under the glowing moon in the sky. He got out of the dirty bath water to check himself and he was surprised by what he saw. He was a head taller than before and his physique had been strengthened. The six packs abs he had been searching for were now staring back at him. “Wow!!” Charlie exclaimed as he flexed his toned muscle. He summoned his avatar, and the flower-bearing ape appeared once again. The scholarly ape’s height had reached eight meters (more than four times his height), indicating that it had reached the peak stage of level 2. He quickly unsummoned the ape as he starts to transfer the dirty water out
In the deep forest, five kilometers from the water totem tribe.A group of totem warriors was seen fighting a pack of wolves. Elder Sid took the lead as he fought with the peak level two wolf that was leading the pack. The other warriors also fought the beasts with all the strength they could muster. The most impressive ones amongst them were pondhia and Kartia whose avatars acted as support in this battle.The duo made a series of strange movements and the phantom of the flower behind them began to go double; one became two, and two became four… the flowers stopped increasing when they reached sixteen.“descent of flowers!!” the duo shouted at the same time, and with a wave of their hands, the flower stalks were sent to the few injured warriors on the battlefield. Once it reached their side, the flowers dissolved into mist, and the warriors' energy was renewed upon inhaling the mist, their wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.Though the wolves were not as intellig
Charlie was cautious throughout the whole week, but after a few days, he got used to the system. He knew how to evade the attacking flowers like the back of his hand, and if he can't evade, he'll just put them to sleep with his new technique.Life is hard without the help of the golden tree. He had to read the encyclopedia over and over again before he could fully understand the content written on the pages.“Alas! I'll have to wait for the golden tree to come back online before I could venture out of this place.“I don't know how Becky and the others would be fairing right now… good thing I escaped from the iron grasp of that ruthless elder Frak.”The small hut was now sparkly clean, and books of different sizes were arranged neatly on the bookshelf. All the COOKING UTENSILS and POTS had been washed clean and were placed in the corner of the room. There's one particular pot/cauldron that has been filled to the brim with sunflower oil. The sunflowers had suffered in his hands, if not
Not long after, elder Frank and the two warriors reached the scene.“What are you doing here Becky?! If my memories served me right, you should still be at the shelter, searching for herbs.” Elder Frank questioned.“I changed my mind, you have a problem with that?” Becky replied coldly.“Fine, after working with him for a few years, elder Parka still didn't have complete trust in me to the point of putting you on my tail… great!” “You can lament all you want after reading this,” Becky said as she handed elder Frank the note she retrieved from the pigeon.“What did they offer you? For you to be able to betray your tribe like this, you must have been offered a good price.” Elder Frank grabbed the man’s shirt and used it to pull him up.“i-i-I please forgive me elder! I had no choice but to do it! My daughter is with them!” FFanda stuttered as he begged for mercy. “Who are the ones who sent you?” Becky asked."I can't say it! I'll die if I mention them!” Fanda looked at them with wate
Elder Frank and the other warriors had already reached the intersection between the path that leads to the icy plains and annfirld before he suddenly stopped.“halt! You guys should wait for a little, I have something to do at the back.” He walked away from the group after saying that.“Why did you stop? We're already near annfirld for crying out loud!” Becky asked when she saw him approaching.Elder Frank didn't speak a word when he reached her side, at least not until he knocked Fanda out with a powerful punch.“Who told you we're passing annfirld? There's a change of plan, we'll be passing through the icy plains instead.” Elder Frank said."Since this traitorous bastard had revealed the fact that he'd been found out, annfirld is now a dangerous place to pass. There must have been about a hundred warriors lying in wait for us already. So we'll take the icy plains instead.” Elder Frank explained.“Oh! I always thought you were a battle maniac who would choose to battle, without carin
Charlie was now sitting down on a tree stomp while pounding sunflower seeds just for fun. But this type of sunflower seed is different from the others, it is crimson in color and the oil that came out of it has a tinge of red in it. These particular sunflower seeds were made with his blood.First, he let the sunflower suck his blood, put them in a daze, then harvest their heads, it's as simple as that.“Let's see what these guys see in my blood!” After pounding and sorting for over an hour, Charlie finally finished making the oil. A large bowl of yellow oil with a tinge of red lay before him. He dipped his middle finger inside the bowl, brought it to his mouth, and tasted it.“Wow! It tastes like Vanilla!” His eyes widen in surprise as he began to lick the oil from the bowl. “No wonder! Both animals and flowers want to have a taste of my blood… “After licking to his satisfaction, he covered the bowl and stored it in a separate place.“I guess it’s time to go out for a hunt.” Charli
“How did you survive the silent garden? We all thought you were dead… " Becky said as she ran to hug Charlie. "You even missed your burial.”“When you get to the garden, you’ll understand how I stayed alive,” Charlie said.“Good thing he was passing through this route, else I don't how much suffering you'll have to endure.”Charlie looked at the unmasked assassin who was staring daggers at him.A few hours later, they got to the silent garden. Charlie Removed the gag from the middle-aged assassin’s mouth and dared him to speak. But the man stayed quiet throughout their walk in the garden.After a silent walk through the garden, they finally got to the hut. Charlie offered Becky a drink from one of his cauldrons of water. She accepted the drink and drank like a thirsty camel.Becky motioned for him while pointing to the bowl of water she was holding.“Ho! You can talk now, they can’t hear you from here”“Where did you get this water!?” Becky looked at the clear water in surprise.“I go
The two moons in the sky were glaring at the inhabitants of the earth. Dark spots appeared on the red moon one after the other, adding a strange beauty to the source of some people’s weaknesses.The clear, blue sky looked like an artistic masterpiece; it adds a poetic feeling to the deep blue sky.Two adults were sitting around a bonfire while a little kid was running around, preparing the sauce for the meat boiling in the large cauldron.The two adults watched curiously as Charlie adds the sunflower stalks juice, his newly produced sunflower oil, some ‘vegetables’ he just fetched from the garden, and some other unique ingredients that can never be found outside the garden.“Please be fast with whatever you’re doing, I’m starving already.” Becky licked her mouth as she looked at the bubbling soup in the cauldron. The assassin also swallowed his spit after perceiving the sweet smell of the soup.“Assuming I have salt right now, the soup would have been made perfect,” Charlie said afte
“My name is Charlie Kaptur and I belong to the flame totem tribe! If you’re not happy with my answer, go f@#& yourself!” Charlie cursed. This time, it was as if the lightning Charlie had emotions. It raised its hand and a lightning mountain jutted out from beneath Charlie’s feet. Standing atop the lightning mountain, Charlie’s whole body was numb from the lightning energy that was penetrating his body through the soles of his feet. “Who are you?” Charlie’s eyes were wide open at the sound of this familiar voice. “I don’t know, do your worst” Charlie shrugged his shoulder, then silently closed his eyes, bracing himself for what was to come. “Argh!!!!” Charlie’s eyes jutted open almost instantly. The mountain beneath him melted at a frightening speed and had turned into a pool of lightning. Submerged in this lightning pool was Charlie, who was now trying his best to endure the pain. A few seconds later, the lightning pool dried up, and transformed into the shape of the lightn
After eating the fruit, Charlie sat down before the broken tree to digest its energy.Blue lightning coursed through his veins, rendering his whole body numb in the process.While focusing on digesting the energy, Charlie entered a deep state of enlightenment as he witnessed the lightning coursed through his body.Few minutes later, he found himself on a vast grassland, standing atop a lone mountain in the area. He saw every part the grassland in a bird's eye view.A crystal clear river covered in blue lightning could be seen 100meters west, below the mountain.Suddenly, the river flashed with lightning, and a young boy made entirely of lightning walked out of the river.The boy looked up at him and smiled, sending shivers down Charlie's spine. The boy looked exactly like him, with face, height, and even smile, except that he's made entirely of lightning.Charlie rubbed his face, to be sure if what he was seeing is the real deal. but immediately after doing that, the lightning Charlie
Charlie tried to warn him, but he's hellbent on possessing his body… well, charlie was just acting weak so that the ice vulture would let down its guard and fall into the trap."Hahaha!! Look who's back!" The ice vulture proclaimed as it opened its eyes in a new body (Charlie's body). "What!? I can't breathe… where the hell am i?!"The vulture cried out as he found himself wrapped in a white cloth. He was suffocating, as everywhere was black and he can't get up from his laid down position."What?! Which fool buried me alive" the ice vulture screamed at the top of its lungs, but no one was there to provide an answer to his question… well, someone was there, a team of young warriors from the water tribe was passing through the forest on his way back from bird hunting.They thought it's a human that was playing pranks on them, so they traced the voice to its source. They almost pissed their pants when they discovered that the voice was coming from a grave."I still don't believe this, w
"Boss, where should we go now?" Granda asked."I think I know where to go. Somewhere they'll never be able to find us," Charlie said as he thought of that one place everybody is afraid to go; the silent garden.The trio walked for almost three days before they could get to their destination. Charlie put the brothers in the small hut and warned them not to get out unless they wants to get eaten by the sunflowers.He quickly went out to the stingy trees' side, to test out the new skills he had gained and to also check his body to see if he has awakened any other ability.He quickly summoned his avatar, but he was amazed at the sight of the totem avatar behind him."Brother vulture, is that you?" Charlie was amazed at the sight of the ice vulture Avatar staring back at him.He couldn't help but remember what happened after he had swallowed the vulture's power core.…One week earlier.Charlie just swallowed the ice vulture's core. He lost consciousness immediately after swallowing the cor
"Since you all don't believe me, Open up the grave and see for yourself," old ancestor Bright said."You'll have to give us an explanation if we didn't find his corpse there. Your flaming totem tribe will pay a price for deceiving the six other tribes, and you must surrender your disciple for investigation." Mr Wang added fuel to the fire."That's good! Hahaha! Your shadow clan had long been eyeing the secrets of our flaming totem tribe for a while now. You failed Everytime, you're now resorting to this shameless method now?" Old ancestor Bright laughed."You're the shameless one here, old man! You clearly colluded with your disciple to steal the power core and now you're shifting the blame on me?" Mr Wang snorted."Okay, I accept your condition. But I have a condition of mine to give…" old ancestor Bright paused, and watched the facial expressions of those present."If you should find the corpse of my disciple in that little hole you're about to dig, you'll have to compensate the fla
"Welcome, Old ancestor Bright!" All the people present greeted the old man with a bow. A few minutes later, seven people were standing next to the cracked grave, observing the spider web crack on the scorched ground. Each one of them is a leader of a tribe.The old ancestor Bright is the current leader of The flaming totem tribe and he's the most powerful person in all of the seven tribes. All the leaders present at the scene were all bonafine level 4 warrior kings who have passed through the kingly trial. Old ancestor Bright was also a warrior king, but he's at the peak of that level. There are rumors going round that he's likely to advance to the legendary emperor realm anytime from now."This aura can't deceive me, it's the world energy." Old ancestor Bright mummured as he bent down to observe the scorched ground more closely."I thought as much, old ancestor Bright, can you tell which tribe this person belongs to? The worldly aura seems strange to me, it was as if I've never felt
A few minutes later… the rain had subsided and the sky had returned to normal. The gentle light of the two moons shines brightly upon the world once again.Beneath the glistening light of the moon, two figures were seen The duo, Granda and Brad, looked at the 'idiot' who just came out of the grave with pity. 'he must have had nothing to eat in the other world, poor thing'.Immediately after Charlie calmed down, strange energy began to rush to him from every corner of the world. He was now sitting in a whirlpool of energy that has now condensed into mists.The two kids were engulfed in the mist. Their bodies automatically starts to absorb the strange mist while Charlie absorbs the mist with lightning-like speed.Charlie's body was changing as he was absorbing the mist. He grew more hairs on his head and he was a head taller than before. His eye colour had changed from brown to blue and a strange aura surrounds him.Thirty minutes after his transformation, the whirlpool of energy subs
One week after the battle of the icy plains…Granda, why did you want to go through the icy plains? This place is seriously haunted, like seriously!Brad stated. He was looking over his shoulder now and then, just to make sure any shadow or beast did not follow them.“We’re currently passing through a haunted plain at night. Don’t you feel excited?” Granda said. “To tell you the truth, there are no ghosts in this world…”Brad didn’t even let him land before replying, “So, all the village folks who passed through here at night weren’t hearing voices? They were imagining things, right?”“There must be someone hiding behind the darkness to scare innocent villagers who are passing through. That is why I must uncover the truth.” Granda beat his chest as he swore.The two level one totem warriors argued on till they reached the Bindu forest after the icy plains.Suddenly! They heard someone talking in a low voice. The voice was coming from deep inside the forest.“Haha! Now let’s see who’s h
The vulture quickly made use of the opportunity to stump on Charlie, but its attacks were easily evaded. After a few minutes, the giant vulture swooped down to attack, but Charlie quickly summoned the scholarly ape once again. He attacked the beast fiercely with the axe in his hand until the vulture starts to bleed on its chest.The large beast looked wary as it saw his stomach bleeding and its blood smeared on this little boy’s axe blade.The vulture was now attacking with caution and the battle protracted for longer than they imagined. Charlie didn't get another chance to use the technique, as the vulture was now attacking him from a safe distance.He does not want the battle to go on till midnight when he’ll become weak from the bloody marks, so he did something crazy to lure the vulture to attack. He intentionally left an opening in his attack.The vulture made use of the opportunity as it swooped down and opened its beak to swallow him whole.Charlie quickly dodged to the side be
