[Warning: This chapter would contain a lot of extreme violence. ]
Nate was slowly dragging his weak body to the rub-down house his parents had left him, ‘I am weak, I am useless, What powers is a tick supposed to grant me? ’ Nate thought with tears streaming down his eyes, his hope had been violently ripped away from him.Nate continued walking and eventually, he ended up at the entrance of a dark alley, he was using a shortcut route to get to his house.“Hey, Trash. ” Nate heard a familiar voice and before he could look to see its origin a familiar feeling came upon him, his body was lifted above the ground with unimaginable force and chucked into the wall.Nate groaned as he struggled to stand up, bruises had accumulated all over his body and the physical pain he was feeling now was unimaginable.“Mark, please, today is not a good day. ” Nate said with seriousness in his eyes, he had just been humiliated in front of all his peers by the priest and now he did not want any more problems.“Oh, but it is a very good day, my brother here has awakened a rather interesting beast, and we wish to test it on you. ” Mark said with a smile on his face, his green eyes held a semblance of near madness.“Martin, don't be such an ass, show our new friend what you can do. ” Mark said, he placed his hands behind the back of a boy who looked like a younger version of him, pushing him forward and encouraging him to use his powers.Martin obeyed his brother and walked to the side of Nate, he quickly crouched down to look at Nate who had a look of pain on his face.Nate had never had any problems with Martin, Martin was one of his peers and had never joined his brother in bullying people, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy who was the opposite of his brother.Martin placed his hands on Nate's body, Martin's palms took on a green glow and soon Nate could feel a strange energy invading his body, he could feel the pleasant and harmonious energy healing up all his wounds and restoring him to normal.“Okay, I have tested my powers on him, can we go now? It is getting late and Father will be worried. ” Martins said in a voice that almost sounded like he was begging his brother to let go of Nate.“No, no, no brother, you do not have to worry about Father, we have to test the limits remember, we just need to train. ” Mark said in a psychotic voice that reflected his smile, which was one of a pure maniac, it was clear he planned to torture Nate that night.Mark fired another energy beam at Nate's legs, breaking them instantly before he could even try to run, he crouched down towards the pained Nate and grabbed onto his finger.Mark twisted his finger with ease, making it pop, Nate screamed loudly but before his screams could go far, Mark had also cut his tongue but made Martin heal it to the point where the bleeding stopped but the pain was too much for him to scream.Mark broke every single one of Nate's fingers, dismantling them in the worst way possible, and some he had ripped right off.“Heal his fingers fully. ” Mark said with a sadistic smile on his face, Nate's eyes sparked in hope and he silently prayed they were done with torturing him but Mark could not give up.Mark repeated the same process over and over again, without remorse, Nate had long since stopped screaming and just remained there taking in the pain.“Heal his legs, let him at least be able to walk his sad self home. ” Mark said after he was done with Nate, blood spilled everywhere.Martin did as he was told and only healed Nate's legs, leaving his arms still brutally damaged, Mark had ripped out three fingers, completely dismantled one, while the rest were twisted in the worst ways imaginable.Nate desperately tried to stand up, he knew he had to get out of there fast or he would suffer death.“Who says I am done with you yet. ” Mark said and blasted another beam of energy straight into Nate's stomach, making him groan in pain.Mark continued by kicking, punching and blasting Nate until he was satisfied, “Let us leave, do not heal him. ” Mark said and he and Martin left Nate to die in that alleyway.Nate looked like a deformed bird, with blood dripping from his body like crazy, he was like a mutilated bird, several injuries and bruises had appeared all over his body and he looked like he would die at any moment.Nate forcefully dragged himself back to his house, it was a run down piece of trash, made of wood and some stone pieces, it was a single room that only allowed Nate to fit in.Nate managed to enter his house with blood dripping all around, if he was to die, he preferred to die in the last piece of property he had.Nate lay on the bed, looking straight at the ceiling, he knew he was going to die and there was nothing that could be done about it.“Curse you, Mark Green whip, if I ever survive this encounter, I would personally rip out your spine, no matter if I have to make a deal with the devil. ” Nate said angrily, determination and resolve were written all over his eyes and in his words.“And you Martin Green whip, I would make sure you go through the same torment I did at the hands of your brother, This I promise you both. ” Nate swore, he wanted his last words to be something proud and courageous, not the words of a coward.Nate could slowly feel himself dying but that wasn't the only thing going on, the tick on Nate's arm was slowly getting bigger and the mark was beginning to shift.It began to twist and turn until it became clear, the marking of the great Red Dragon Beast.[HOST ACQUIRED.......YOU HAVE AWAKENED THE DRAGON BEAST SYSTEM]These were the last words Nate saw before he passed out.The golden rays of sunlight once again descended upon the land of Zurblis, birds were soaring high in the air, and everyone was beginning their daily activities. The eyes of a young boy in a bloody environment fluttered open, he groaned in tiredness as the sun interrupted his sleep, he could feel the warm rays of the sun on his body, and the disgusting smell of dried blood forced him up. “Uhh” Nate groaned, he could still feel his warm blood on his sheets, ‘How, How did I survive that encounter? ’ Nate thought and memories began to flood his mind, memories of pain and torture. But aside from the pain and torture, there was something else, something he couldn't fathom, he looked at his hands and body and they were completely healed, even better than before. His previously lean body now had medium-sized muscles, he could see a four-pack ab and could feel changes all around his body. “What The fuck is going on? ” Nate asked himself, he had only heard of reincarnation in some old tale
Today was a very special day for the seventeen-year-olds of Zurblis, today was the day they got to pick their career specialization. There were nine major career paths, Mage, Knight, Battle Mage, Warden, Forgemaster, hand-to-hand combat, Keepers of Knowledge alchemy, and the last but most definitely not the least were Healers and support. Once an individual had unlocked their beasts it was crucial that they needed to begin learning what specialization suited their beasts the most to achieve greatness. There were mainly two types of beasts, the Mage-type beasts and the Battle-type beasts. Mage-type beasts could use magical attacks to attack while Battle type beasts could only use physical attacks and boost the physical capabilities of the user. Some rare beasts could do both, a dragon was one of them, a beast that had disastrous physical abilities and Unmatchable Magical power. Nate's previous school uniform had been ripped apart after being hopelessly bullied yesterday but it di
The crowd had cleared a space for Nate and Gecko to battle it out, they arranged themselves in a wide and round format, giving ample space for the two students to battle. On one end was Gecko, claws extending from his arms and green scales appearing all over his body, he had no weapon on him and it was clear he was ready to duel. On the other was Nate, with no special transformation, no weapon, and a cocky smile on his face, he had assumed a battle stance and it was becoming apparent that he knew a martial arts fighting technique. Nate had studied a little bit of martial arts back when he was younger, he knew he was weak and did that to try and make up for his weakness but he had long since stopped training after finding out that he could unlock a beast, he had hopes of unlocking a powerful beast so he saw no point in training. Just before the match started, Nate made sure to check his system stats so he could get a rough idea of the skills he was going to use and how to use them
“You see students, there is more to some things than it meets the eye. ” Sir Oluwale declared, from the onset, that he knew that Nate would win the match and that Gecko would fail due to overconfidence. ‘This young lad, there is something strange about him, a tick beast but yet he moves with unparalleled speed and strikes with unimaginable strength, he thinks like a battle veteran, this boy has potential. ’ Sir Oluwale said, he had been observing Nate ever since he started fighting. In his mind, it was clear Nate knew a little bit of martial arts but his technique was sloppy, he did have good instincts and was an excellent tactician, but he could also notice a strange energy surrounding him, one that wasn't domineering and a bit premature. ‘This boy, I do not believe that is his beast, he is hiding something. ’ Sir Oluwale thought, Sir Oluwale was a smart man and he knew Nate was hiding something. “Now, everyone please take this as a lesson. ” Sir Oluwale said, he walked right up
Nate stood before his magical doll, there was enough for everyone in the class and they were all staring at them. The dolls were all made of wood and were designed like Japanese samurai wearing masks, they had a katana which was held by both their arms, they held one leg before the other, and their eyes were dead and focused. Although the dolls were made of wood they were still human-looking and looked extremely durable, the amount of craftsmanship that had been put into every single one of these dolls was simply outstanding, and their functionality was mind-blowing. “These are magical dolls created by the forge mastering department, each of these dolls is designed with the intent to train students on their battle techniques, these dolls are all capable of five different levels. Level one is a basic sword and magical attacks, at level two these dolls increase in speed, strength, and sensibility. At level three they possess amateur magic and sword attacks, Level four is for expert
Nate got to work, he knew he had only a week to beat this doll if he wanted his EXP and he could not afford to let up, give up, or get tired, his mind was inhumanely focused and he had gone into a state of such focus that made men gods. Nate searched the body of the doll and was able to see a switch that went all the way from level 1 to level 10.Nate turned the doll on and soon it had assumed the battle stance he was familiar with. The doll unsheathed its blade coating it with pure orange flames that burned with low intensity but were hotter than regular flames. Nate stared at the dancing flames of the sword, he knew he had to be careful there was no Sir. Oluwale to heal him and if he made a silly mistake that would be the end of his life. “Let's do this. ” Nate shouted and immediately assumed a battle stance, he was more than ready to take this beast on and his undying determination was burning like flames in his heart, whatever Nate set his mind to, he would achieve it. “Sir,
The next day Nate woke up to the chirping of birds above his house, Zurblis was a really beautiful and peaceful land filled with naturally beautiful sights. Nate quickly freshened up and got ready for school, he put on the clothes which were gifted to him by Sir. Oluwale the other day and swiftly made his way to school. Nate was peacefully walking when suddenly mud splashed on his face, “Aghh” Nate groaned in anger, he knew there was only one family in Zurblis that could be such dick bags. “Hey loser, just wanted to remind you that you would never be greater than me. ” Nate heard the same voice he loathed with every cell in his body. “That is what your father was told as a kid. ” Nate snorted, he knew what he just did was punishable by death but why would he care? Mark's face turned red with fury and could be seen through the carriage glass, “You are lucky I do not have time for incessant fools like you. ” Mark said angrily and ordered the chariot driver to keep moving. Nate was
This time the students would not be tested using a magical doll but instead be tested using a strange magical orb. The orb was just like that which they used to awaken their beast, but instead, this one was transparent and had a small luminescent flame burning in the center, dancing ever so slightly. Everyone would line up and calmly place their hands on the ball, the reaction of the flames would determine their magical talent. The students quickly formed a long line before the orb and Nate had somehow found himself at the last position, his heart was pounding Nervously, he had no idea if he had any magical talent or not so he quickly checked his system to see.
