Shian began to convulse terribly, his blood which was splattered everywhere began to flow in reverse, his bones snapped back into position, which was a very painful process.
Black blood began to flow out of his mouth and the pores of his skin, his eyes turned bloodshot and he coughed violently.A grey aura began to seep out of his body gradually, then abruptly, it burst out with power, ravaging the surroundings and destroying everything within it.The wolf sensing danger turned around to flee but a suction force pulled it towards Shian.The wolf was using all the strength it could muster to run, but it wasn't making any difference.As it was pulled back, it left a trail on the ground, it's sharp claws dug into the metal floor but the suction force disavailed it of that advantage and it was finally pulled away.The wolf was sucked into the area and devoured by the aura Shian was releasing. Shian's eyes which were bloodshot previously were now glowing with power.Shian didn't know what was going on because he had blacked out the moment the white mist had infiltrated his body.In the distance a multitude of beasts were making their way towards the commotion. The moment they reached the one kilometer mark from where Shian was, they felt the pull, some beasts were not smart enough and kept on walking towards it until it was too late.Meanwhile the aura from Shian was still causing havoc in its surroundings. It continued for a whole hour before abruptly stopping the same way it had began.Shian was left on the ground still passed out. He lay there for a whole week without moving an inch. Some beasts came from time to time and got devoured by the aura that constantly seeped out of him.After a week of devouring beasts he finally stirred, he sat up with a groan, lingered for a while before struggling to get up on his feets, after much work, he was finally able to stand upright, his body felt stiff because he had stayed in the same position for a whole week without moving.Shian walked for a few steps before falling to the floor, he felt a splitting headache tear through his head. He grabbed his head and pulled at it with all his might, but it was to no avail as the head ache kept on increasing.After some seconds that felt like hours, the headache stopped and he was finally able to move. Shian raised his head and was about to stand up until he saw a screen pop up in front of him.[synchronizing system with host]Shian shook his head several times to try and get rid of whatever it was that was in his front. When he tried several times and I wasn't working, he left it."I'm seeing things, It will go away eventually."Shian stood up again to go, his steps where wobbly but after walking for a few more steps he stabled them.Shian looked around, he had crashed inside an empty laboratory and there were several large holes in the walls that lead directly outside, he ignored it and continued walking."It's a good thing this place was already deserted, if not I might have fallen into some chemical that I don't know what might have done to me."He walked out of the laboratory into a hallway, he scrutinized his surroundings to make sure there was no beasts, he walked out and summoned his scythe. When he felt the hard and cold metal of his scythe in his hands, he felt safer.'I wonder if that wolf is still there. hmm...I don't think so, after all I've been lying on the ground for a few days and it will have eaten me if it had the chance, maybe it couldn't get to me. I don't even know how long I passed out.'Shian walked towards a door and slowly opened it, he found nothing in it except claw marks that looked to be made from beasts and blood splatters on the walls.He continued until he had explored all the rooms and what he found was the same all over, claw marks and blood splatters on the walls.He got to the end of the hall way and turned to his left, the exit was just ahead of him. He made a beeline towards it and left.When he got outside, he was shocked by what he saw, the surroundings was denuded of those purple plants and any form of life.He looked back at the building and once again saw several holes that looked like something was forced through it."What there hell really happened when I was passed out?" Shian mumbled.Shian looked down at himself when he had this thought and it was then he finally saw himself.Dried black and red blood was all over his skin, His hair which was previously black was now white and it had grown longer which was why he could see it, his callused hands were now smooth and his skin had become tanned. Though not really noticeable among all this features, he had become much more taller and muscular.Shian was shocked because he didn't remember doing anything to warrant all the sudden change. He ignored it the same way he ignored the words that followed his vision anywhere he turned.Shian went back into the building to find a portal that could take him back. He walked briskly into the building, happy to finally be able to head back to earth.As he entered the building, he walked and then took a left turn because he had previously explored the other side of the building and found nothing. He began to search the rooms one after the other and eventually found what he was looking for.In front of him was a portal that was blue in color, which indicated that it lead back to earth, Shian was happy and immediately jumped into it only to hit it, bounce back and fall to the ground. He hit the ground and screamed in pain.pain?"huh, why didn't I fell pain" Shian was stunned that he momentarily forgot that he had something to do. "I'll deal with this later."Shian got up and thought why the portal didn't work."Oh yes, I didn't activate it".Shian rummaged his space ring to bring out the crystals he had obtained previously.He searched for them thoroughly but didn't find them."I've been robbed." Shian gasped. "Well, that's dumb since the only people that can be here are far stronger than me and won't need anything I have.That leaves the other option, the beasts, but beasts are not smart enough to use a space ring, or maybe they are and I don't know, but they would have just eaten me instead." Shian found himself spouting nonsense in the middle of the room.Shian was having all this thoughts, not knowing what had really happened."It seems like I will have to go and hunt beasts if I want to go back."Shian left the room and made a mental note of the location. He walked out of the building and chose a direction to go. As he walked he reminisced about his life with his father and neighbours, unknown to him as he thought about them, a smile crept up his face. He thought about how they all took care of each other like one family, but it all got ruined for him when his father died, the smile in his face slowly faded and was replaced with a frown."That's why I need to get stronger, so I will be able to take care of myself and those around me. I will awaken my ability no matter what and become the strongest human in the world, or even the universe."As Shian finished his thoughts he looked ahead of him and saw a lake in the distance, he rushed towards it and got down on his knees and began to gulp mouthfuls of water. He hadn't realized that he was that thirsty until he saw the water and after drinking to his fill, he brought out his flask and refilled it.He took off his amour and cloth
Shian began to kill beasts with more fervor. After witnessing a beast eat all the crystals he had saved for opening the portal, he was extremely annoyed which lead him to almost double his kill count. If Shian could kill two beasts in three minutes, now he could kill four beasts in four minutes. Shian's main aim to enter a beast realm was to get high tier crystals in order to use them to forge a new set of beast equipments. He also planned to sell some crystals in order for him to have some money with him. Shian had gathered enough crystals and was heading back to the base, he placed the crystal in the compartment of the portal and closed the lid. He turned it on and waited, the blue glow in the portal intensified, Shian was about to go through it when the glow dimmed down. Shian quietly went to a corner and sat down, he was seriously depressed, the crystals were not enough to power the portal. Shian was tired and he had several injuries on his body that were struggling to heal. He
Shian waited for some minutes to gather his energy before getting up. He studied the dead rhino at his side, poking random places at intervals, he went round the rhino but didn't move close to the bite mark on its neck, he felt that of he touched it he would die instantly. After scrutinizing the rhino enough, he produced a dagger from his space ring and began to cut in between the armor-plated skin of the beast. After an hour of arduous struggle, he finally got to the core of the beast and saw a massive crystal the size of his head glowing brightly. Shian was mesmerized, he had never seen anything so breathtaking in his life. While he was looking at it, a fight was happening inside him, he was resisting the urge to grab the crystal simply because of its beauty, but his rational self knew better that if he touched the crystal, the system that was synchronizing with him, will synchronize completely and he didn't want to know what will happen if it did, so Shian did what he had been do
Shian lay down on the floor to rest, then remembered that he had to hunt for crystals to power the portal and return back to earth, he sat there for a while, too lazy to get up and hunt beasts.He soon got up to go and gather crystals but returned later to rest with nothing in his hands. He got up again to go and get crystals and once again but returned with nothing, this continued on for weeks without Shian noticing anything wrong with his actions, albeit each time he returned he always had one thought. 'I went outside for a reason right, well, I'll think about it later'.Shian walked out of the base, his scythe in hands, with the intent to complete his mission. As he walked towards the beasts in the distance, his mind began to wander, he thought of irrelevant things and soon found himself walking back to the base while thinking.'What the Fuck did I come out to do!!!'Shian was getting angry but didn't know why. He walked briskly back to the base and entered an empty room, he slamme
Shian stood there with his bruised and battered body staring at the moving rock. The giant head revealed itself, four tortoise like arms burst out from four sides of the rock. A ceature that looked like a tortoise made out of uneven orange rocks scrutinized him briefly, before turning around and walking away. Shian heaved a sigh of relief and sat down, he was relieved of the tension that had built up in him in that short moment. For a second, he thought he was going to fight with his life on the line again, but when the beast turned around and left, he suddenly felt weak and fell on his butt.Not long after that encounter, he felt a vibration in the ground and the sky turn dark, he looked up and saw a giant circluar foot coming down on him, if he lingered any longer, he would be crushed into an ugly mush in no time.Shian picked himself up and assessed the situation, he chose a direction that could lead him faster out of the area of impact of the giant foot and ran with all his might,
Shian swung his scythe wildly, severing and dissecting several beasts at the same time, he tried his best not to move his legs too much because of the pain that might distract him, but some beasts unknowingly forced him to, and those beasts... He gave them a very cruel death. A beast charged at him with its horns, aiming to gore him to death, Shian jumped to the side and avoided it but his legs were strained in the process.Shian gritted his teeth and gave the beast a threatening stare, if stares could kill, the beast would have died a dozen times already. The beast felt a shiver run down its spine, it ignored the threatening gaze of Shian and charged at him again. Shian who was slashing at a beast suddenly stopped, caught the horns of the beast charging at him and snapped them, the beast wailed but it was short-lived as Shian stabbed the beast to death with its own horns and then...he smiled. 'Have a taste of your own medicine' He thought coldly.The beast he had neglected to kill s
The old man in blue armour was standing behind Shian looking at him worriedly, he had sensed something was wrong with Shian and immediately killed all the beasts around him to lift the pressure off of him.'He's still alive. I caused this, so I think it's only right I take care of him' The old man thought.He gingerly lifted Shian from the ground and ran. He moved at a steady pace so as to not disrupt Shian's rest, though he wasn't slow by any means.It didn't take long before they reached a base that was bustling with people, the old man stopped in front of the gate where two guards were positioned. They immediately bowed their heads and let him in, several similar situations occurred as he walked inside the base, the people he walked by bowed their heads with respect, though not the type of respect forced, but the one willingly given.The old man made his way towards a room, he opened the door without knocking and entered.Inside the room was an adjustable hospital bed with railings
"Umm...Do you know us?" Maya asked curiously."My father had only one good friend amongst all the friends that he had when he was a hunter for a certain someone. When he had a disease, that friend didn't leave him, he always came to visit to check up on my dad, even when all the others left him —heck even my mum left him— until recently, he stopped coming to visit." Shian sighed. "That friend, his name was Ryan Blackwill."The old man wasn't looking too good, it seemed like what Shian said had shaken him for some reason."My son!!, Ryan Blackwill is my son." The old man said. Considering the way he said it, something seemed to have happened. "What happened to him?" "Ryan died a few weeks ago." Maya sighed and replied gloomily. "He was assassinated.""I'm...so sorry about that" Shian said."Anyways, you might want to head back to earth..." Maya spoke but was cut off by Shian who was already standing up from the bed."Yeah, I really want to go back, like, right now. This planet has giv
