Sword Moves Seeing the palace emerging from the ground, Jacob sucked in a cold breath of air as he thought; 'There's a palace in this place??'. Jacob was beginning to seriously wonder about the mysteriousness of Demonic Star; It even had a palace in it."Welcome to the palace of the Sword Emperor", Katerina announced. "Who's the Sword Emperor??", Jacob asked as Katerina sighed as she answered; "I don't remember, my memories are still coming back bit by bit"'The Sword Emperor might be the Ancient Primordial God that made the Demonic Star', Jacob thought, as he used his system to scan the palace.**Sword Emperor Palace (Unoccupied) The palace where the Sword Emperor placed all his inheritances, in search of a successor It has been unoccupied for two million years, staying buried under ground Host has a high chance of being the successor of the Sword Emperor**________________________Seeing the notification, Jacob was surprised; the Sword Emperor had all his inheritances here??.
Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin Seeing the notification from the system, Jacob was suprised; the system could be used this way??, it was too overpowered.'Learn the Skill', Jacob answered in his mind. Instantly, Jacob felt knowledge of the use of swords entering his mind, almost knocking him out. Shifting his gaze towards the puppet, Jacob found it standing a certain distance from him, holding the Sword in a particular stance. Realising that the puppet would not do anything unless attacked, Jacob sat on the floor, closing his eyes while digesting the information from the Sword Skill.'System, display information about the Sword Skill'**Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin A skill the Sword Emperor got from an enemy he slayed The skill is an accumulative type skill Seven Steps is all that's needed to slash a scar in the Universe The skill requires host to take a total of seven steps to unleash maximum damage The rate of damage depends on host's skill The skill can be used at any
First DayTwo days later. Jacob opened his eyes, but he didn't get a breakthrough notification this time. Clenching his fists, Jacob knew that, although he was still in the Intermediate Level, just a little more effort was needed, and he would breakthrough to the Advanced Level, where he would be able to take six steps. Standing up, Jacob looked at the puppet standing nearby, as he wondered how it was being powered. "I have to go out now. But I'll be back, I'll still smash you up, Tin Head", Jacob said, feeling foolish for talking to an automated puppet. Focusing his perception, Jacob thought about exiting the Scroll Space as he stepped out, finally leaving the Scroll. Looking around, he was suprised to find Katerina at the same place he left her; except, she was currently sleeping on the marble floor, sprawled around like a sleeping kid. Jacob suddenly felt bad seeing that; Katerina waited for him in that same spot he left her, even falling asleep on the ground, for seven days. Si
Enlightenment Stepping out of the shelter, they headed towards the Village, ready to unravel the mystery of the Undead. Stephen walked at the forefront, using his Super Vision to scout for danger, Jason and Lucy in the middle, while Tony and Jacob stayed at the back. The atmosphere was tense, with each of them moving cautiously, ready to act at any moment; except for Jacob. He was walking casually, hands in pocket and his eyes half closed.Although Jacob seemed to be moving casually, in reality, he wasn't, for in front of him was a blue screen and on it was the Scroll he acquired from the Sword Emperor's palace; he was trying to comprehend more but, no matter how many times he tried, Jacob couldn't comprehend any further. Realising that he had hit what cultivators in the novels he read called Bottleneck, Jacob no longer wasted time on comprehending; he needed combat.Dismissing the blue screen, Jacob looked up, just in time to see Stephen raising his left hand, signalling for them t
UndeadAfter a few seconds of running around, Jacob opened his eyes, smiling foolishly; he had just discovered something unique in the Sword Skill. The time it took him to activate the skill had drastically reduced, it took four seconds to take four steps before but now, it only took him two, half the time needed. Shifting his gaze towards the trapped Wind Footed Cheetah, had an evil smile on his face as he gripped his sword tightly, activating the modified Sword Skill. The Wind Footed Cheetah suddenly felt a shiver run down it's spine, as if it was being watched by a Demon King. Looking towards the source of the danger, the Cheetah only had enough time to slightly open it's mouth before it was stabbed through, a Sword protruding from the back of it's head."Thankfully, I lured the Monster to a different place", Jacob muttered; he knew that there would be questions of other saw him run that fast and also killing the Monster that easily.**Ding Level up(Level 12~13)**===============
UndeadFinally exiting the cover of the plants, Jacob unsheathed his Sword as he finally saw the two Undeads; It was true, one had a rather small stature, like a female's, while the other had a more bigger stature. But they had one thing in common; their skin were both falling off, looking extremely grotesque."Alright, here's close enough, Tony; probe them", Stephen said as Tony nodded and concentrated. Raising up his hands with his palms facing up, Tony summoned some vines from underground as they latched onto the Undeads, holding them down."Woohoo, it worked; and there's no reflection. Good one Tony", Lucy cheered, patting Tony's back as Tony puffed out his chest and scoffed, as if to say it was to be expected."Phew, that's a relief. Take down your Space Wall Jacob; it must be draining your mana", Stephen said, as Jacob had been using the Space Wall to shield against the flaming arrows. Nodding, Jacob was about to take down the Space Wall when he suddenly realised something as he
Lost Memories 'Is this the end', Jacob thought as the flaming arrow left it's bow, flying towards him. Clenching his teeth in despair, Jacob was unwilling to die as he struggled violently against the gravitational force, only to find it getting heavier. Sighing, Jacob closed his eyes, feeling the cold hands of death getting closer. "Ba dum, Ba dum", Jacob heard something. Listening closely, Jacob found out that it was his heart, although the gravitational force had stopped every single particle of his body from moving, it couldn't stop his heart. Thinking to here, Jacob suddenly felt something, a strange energy was filling his body, filling him with power, making him feel the same way he did whenever he was filled with Mana. The weird thing about the Energy was that, although Jacob was absolutely sure that he had not felt that Energy before, he could feel a strangely familiar aura in the Energy, like he was with a close kin. Deciding to think about that later, Jacob took a deep brea
Bloodline Awakening After making sure that Jason went back to his shelter and was resting, Jacob finally went into his own, keeping an eye out for Stephen.Lying down on his makeshift bed, Jacob was wondering if he should enter the Sword Space when he suddenly remembered; he had some system notifications to check. Getting comfortable, or at least he tried to, he asked the system; "System, Replay past notifications".**Ding Replaying past notifications : *1* Congratulations, the skill, Wind Walk(D Ranked) has been upgraded to Flash Steps(C Ranked). Flash Steps: The upgraded version of the old skill, Wind Walk. Once activated, host's speed increases by 20% and when used with the Seven Steps of the Swift Assassin, increases speed by an additional 5%(accumulative with each step).*2* Congratulations, Host is on a path to self discovery. Host's Bloodline has been awakened to aid host in a time of danger. The Bloodline has provided host with some skills(More would be provided later).
Jacob struggled to move as he watched the group of four walk into the room.Kayden, Lucas, Jason and Devon all walked in like controlled robots without a soul. "Hahaha!" The loud laughter of the undead leader rang in the space of the room.Jacob's eyes had rimmed red and the veins in his hands were already bulging due to his struggling intensely despite the intense pain he was currently experiencing. "Aren't they just beautiful? Human skin has always been too flashy for my taste anyway." The undead leader muttered as he scanned the group once more before he seemed to realize something a thoughtful look crinkling his already crinkled brows, "Wait a minute... wasn't there a girl among you bunch? Why is she not here?" He asked, however, the four remained staring ahead lifelessly, the undead facepalmed, "Ah, I almost forgot you can't speak anymore, you won't even have a will of your own anymore but will only do what I will you to do. Nevermind, the girl probably ran off and left you all
"So it was you all along." Jacob suddenly said, his voice bouncing back from the white walls in the room. The very one they'd been looking for had been before them all along. The leader of the undead that Katerina had told him about was none other than this man. "For the one with the godly bloodline, you are smart, at the same time stupid." The undead man said as he began to pull some wires from the large equipments in the white room, he continued speaking as Jacob watched his actions, "Knowing your friends would die, you gave yourself instead, smart thought, but a stupid move..." The undead tilted his head smirking at Jacob, his grey skin crinkling up. "And you're stupid to think I'll just let your little friends escape just like that." Hearing that, panic was quick to surface in Jacob's eyes, "What did you do to my friends?" Jacob who had been sitting in the chair they bound him in without attempting to fight back began to struggle hearing the others might be in danger."I just s
White hunter's guild; Inside the office of the vice president.The sharp sound of a communication device rang forth, the sound slightly muffled until Thomas Stone, the vice president of the guild picked out the communication device that was stuffed hidden within his drawer."Any updates on what the kids are up to?" He asked the person on the other end."Yes boss, they went into the dustwind village, but the kid with the godly bloodline has been caught, as for the others, they were able to escape.""It doesn't matter, that kid is the one we wanted all along anyway. Master is going to be so pleased with me as I was able to get him what he wants. Those two fools were too hasty, they had the kid right within their grasp but they allowed themselves lose him, this time I'll take the credit for succeeding in attaining master's biggest goal. Make sure the kid is guarded well, he can't escape.""Yes boss." The other person replied before cutting off the communication device. "Soon brother, ve
The endless horde of undead creatures descended upon them like an unstoppable army, rushing out of the tall building towards the group."Damnit! How are they so many?!" Lucas exclaimed."There are too many of them, we can't possibly fight them all." Nikita said."Jacob, try to hold them back with your space ability!" Kayden instructed.Nodding, Jacob prepared his energy.'Space wall!' And immediately, the creatures that were already almost reaching where the group stood seemed to be stopped midair, however they didn't stop clawing and roaring at the invisible barrier in space.Gritting his teeth, Jacob could feel the whole weight of the creatures he was holding back, there were over hundreds of them."I can only hold them for so long, so I hope you all have a good plan." Jacob watched the man who had led them here as he stood amidst the raging horde of undead creatures with an evil smirk on his face."You cannot fight us, the godly bloodline shall be ours!!! We shall unleash chaos u
Strangely, as they walked through the paths within dustwind village, they didn't once come across a single undead. It was as if there were no longer any undeads remaining."Do you think the people behind this moved the undeads elsewhere?" Jason asked Jacob as they were walking a little behind the group. "I can't say, but this all feels suspicious." Jacob muttered."Yeah, there seems to be something fishy, let's stay on high alert." "Che!" A scoff came from behind them, when Jacob turned to look, he saw Lucas walking behind him. "Got something to say?" Jason asked wondering why he'd suddenly scoffed when he'd been silent the whole time."Not to you." Lucas retorted before directing his gaze towards Jacob, "If you're having suspicions, why not take action and find out exactly what's amiss?" After saying that, he increased his pace walking past them both. Jason watched him leave with a weird expression, "Why do I feel like he'd literally kick you in the face if he could?" Jacob sig
"Catch!" Jason playfully threw the communication device towards Jacob from a distance as they all stood at the borders of dustwind village, the first place an undead had been sighted.Jacob accurately caught the device in his hands. As Jason let out a small victory chuckle, he caught the glare Nikita had directed at him, his smile immediately falling. "If you take this as a game beast boy, be ready to become undead food." She spat at him sarcastically. Before moving forward, "Come on Devon," She called the guy who'd been standing beside her.The guy with a feminine demeanor gave Jason a gloating smirk before following behind Nikita closely. "Ugh, I wish I could punch his sissy face." Jason muttered. "Who's he anyway?" Jacob asked having seen Devon for the second time now, the first time being at the guild as he'd always be found hanging around Nikita and some other group of girls at the guild."Miss Nikita's personal assistant." Jason replied still glaring at Devon, "The sissy stic
"Dude, you totally killed it when you destroyed that water dragon and defeated that water element guardian, everyone at the guild have been talking about it non stop!" Jason exclaimed for what seemed like the hundredth time.Two days had passed since Jacob had engaged in that fight, yet not a moment passed by that he didn't hear about it from everyone one else at the guild.Even at this moment, when he was just trying to have a quiet meal at the cafeteria, he could feel the number of gazes directed at him, if they had lasers in their eyes, he'd have been burnt to a crisp by now. He was about to reply to something Jason had said when his eyes fell on Lucy from across the hall, she sighted him too, however she soon looked away making her way towards the counters before she later joined her friends at their table.Jason who had seemingly been rambling followed his gaze to where Lucy was before asking, "Hey what's the deal between you and Lucy anyway, seems like she's been avoiding you."
The dragon came at Jacob with a flashing speed with it's mouth wide open as if ready to devour him."Shit! If that water dragon swallows that kid, he'll drown without a way out!" Soon as that person had spoken, the water dragon's mouth closed on Jacob's body swallowing him whole, all of this happening within just a single second. Loud gasps echoed within the hall before the whole place fell dead silent.Erion was smirking triumphantly as he seemed to manipulate the water dragon to make sure Jacob drowned without an escape within the dragon's stomach. "What in hell's name is that?!" One of the onlookers yelled pointing at the water dragon which had now supposedly devoured Jacob. Within the gigantic water creature's body, a bright light was illuminated until a clear image was formed.Seemingly sitting in a cross legged position, Jacob still had his eyes closed as if concentrating and gaining an enlightenment. "What? How is that possible? How is that kid not drowning?" Erion stared
The guardians began laughing among themselves seeing the state Jacob was in."So much for a double awakened, you're just a helpless little kid to our might after all." The commander of the guardians said in a ridiculing tone.Just at the moment the guardians were beginning to gloat about their might, a stifling pressure, that seemed to come from a very mighty figure descended upon them.Taken aback, their eyes widened as they felt themselves having trouble even breathing due to the suffocating pressure. "What...the..." Baron, the commander of the guardians managed to choke out as he stared at Jacob with surprise filled eyes. After a short amount of time, Jacob withdrew his might skill he had used on the guardians knowing it would drain too much of his mana if he kept it going, hoping that would be enough to let them know to leave him alone."That kind of power isn't something that should come out of a little kid like you!" Baron's eyes flashed with greed, "What great treasure are yo
