《Quest from God》 Meeting with a GOD "Yes I will take extra care not to miss any meals and yes I will enjoy myself..... ok bye now" ''Mother does not rest for even a minute when any of her children are out of her sight no matter how old we get.'' ''Now let''s get going!!'' Ram had finally convinced his parents to send him to Greece for a holiday after almost a year of good scores in exams. so now here he was in Greece to enjoy the fruits of his labor but fate''s a bitch ain''t it. he had just gotten out of the airport and was waiting for a taxi when a little girl runs right in front of the famous truck-Kun.{cliche right!} Looking at the girl of similar age to his little sister Ram''s leg moved reflexively, he never was too kind yet as any honorable man he placed his family at the top yet he decided to run and push the little girl. BAM!!!! The last thought in his mind was just a simple apology to his family for failing to keep the promise he made to them. After what felt like a few minutes Ram opens his eyes to find himself in a gazebo on the cliff of a mountain above the clouds. oddly he felt very calm sitting on the floor, so calm that he failed to notice the buffed man with a long white beard and hair flowing to his shoulder, this extremely old being was Zeus the Greek god of sky, lightning & thunder, kingship, honor, and justice. "ahem" Zeus coughs to get the attention of the young man laying on the floor of his gazebo "Hello young man and welcome to the platform of judgment, here we shall judge what to do with you" he says while keeping a beaming smile on his face almost as if he was ecstatic seeing Ram here Ram looks up at the old man and feels surprised since he could recognize the huge man as Zeus. "G..GREETINGS LORD ZEUS!" Ram almost screams while bowing in respect. He understood that what happened to him was just like the web novels but reading about a situation and being in it is very very different so he was now sweating out his ass while bowing in front of a literal God. "Calm down child, you are a fairly pure soul so you are not going to hell, honestly speaking you should not even be here but instead should have gone straight to the reincarnation cycle and be born into a rich family for an easy life." This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Zeus speaks calmly while gesturing for Ram to sit on a seat in front of him and then sits down himself. " Instead of going to a world without magic and such, how would you like to go to a world of magic, cultivation, ninja arts, and such." This came out so smoothly from his mouth that Ram instinctively compared it to a sales pitch of a well-experienced salesman. "Amm sir, before anything could you tell me about what happened in my world after my death is my family ok, is the little girl ok?" "HAHAHA boy you really are kind, yes the little girl is ok and as for your family.... they will be ok" Zeus gives a sympathetic smile to Ram. Ram sighs in relief and closes his eyes remembering the faces of his family, apologizing to them in his heart. Ram takes a deep breath and composes himself, then looks at the man who is revered as a god on his planet. ''ok now calmly think Ram while it may seem all cool and powerful seeing those characters destroy their enemies but it is equally if not more deadly.....I am more likely to die a dog''s death there but I might actually make it big but....but.....but'' while Ram was having this overthinking session in his mind Zeus had a scheme cooking up in that crafty mind of his. "He will probably ask for a boon of some kind, most probably a system but if I give him that he might actually make it big and he is not under my mythology so no gain for me but if I ..." after nearly 10 minutes Ram looks at Zeus with determination in his eyes. "Sir, I have made up my mind and I will go to the world with magic but will I get a system or some kind of cheat ability?" Zeus snaps his fingers and a system screen pops out in front of Ram. On the screen is the list of various systems on one side and abilities on the other. "you can either choose a system or 5 abilities, know that the increase in the number of abilities is proportional to the difficulty of the world you will be sent to and the low-level system is equal to 5 abilities while a high-level" Ram looks at the list of systems since he disregarded the abilities from the beginning. on the list tier 1 to tier 3 were all trash systems in comparison to the higher two tiers and since even tier 1 is equal to 5 abilities let''s just go all in with tier 5 systems. after careful overthinking, for half an hour he finally came to decision. Even Zeus was questioning if he selected the right person but it didn''t matter much to him. "Sir, I will select the everyday system." "Thank you for choosing the everyday system" suddenly a cliche blue system screen pops up and a mechanical female voice reads out the description of the system straight into Ram''s mind freaking him out "the ''everyday system'' is a system that gives small power boosts every day and big boosts every year and even bigger boosts every 10 then 100 and so on. The boost itself depends on the number of quests completed that day." "The quests also have ranks just like the systems, from tier 1 to 5 where tier 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest. There will be optional objectives as well as hidden objectives and the efficiency/percentage of the completion of these objectives will decide any additional benefits from the said quests" "As a baseline, if you want to obtain the minimum boost of the day you need to complete at least 5 tier-one quests in a day without fulfilling any addition objectives and there is no upper/maximum limit to the powerup you can obtain" "the other function will be explained as they are unlocked. Once again thank you for choosing the ''everyday system''." Ram was more excited than baffled after hearing the system''s voice since this is the dream of many young readers of this age. "Alright then, you can familiarize yourself with your system after you reach the world you will be reincarnated into a very dangerous yet opportunity-filled world. GOOD LUCK YOUNG MAN!" Zeus picks him up and throws him into a portal almost as if in a hurry. While being thrown Ram could only catch a glimpse of a dark brown man walking through another portal and then he loses consciousness." The good news and The bad news {On the judgment platform} "Why did you send him to his death Zeus. You could have simply sent him back to my area or at least pick a better moment to send him down there" a soothing yet strong voice, an angry yet calm voice came out of the dark man that entered the platform just as Ram was thrown out. Zeus was angry just looking at the dark man with golden eyes and short hair. "You refused my deal Shiva and since we are not in an alliance I don''t care about any potential member of your team so go back what''s done is done" *********** {unknown world} Ram opens his eyes to find himself in the arms of a woman who was running as if her life depended on her. Even when she was out of breath and looked tired beyond belief, to Ram her voice seemed to be more melodious than gods. "Don''t worry my child, I will keep you safe till you grow up and can kee" her words were cut short by a man who was running along with her. "Mrs. Hanako please keep your voice down. Once we get away you can make as many promises as you want" "FOUND YOU!!!!! HAHAHAHA HOW FAR CAN YOU BOTH RUN!!!!" A voice boomed behind, the voice of the man who was chasing after them for a whole year now. A burly man with a long sword was running behind them, smiling like he was having the time of his life just seeing the two terrified humans before him. the man beside Hanako turns towards the burly man and takes out his long spear. "run Hanako I will hold him here, I can buy you at least an hour before he will again chase you so find somewhere to hide, and this time trust no one other than your child" Hanako looks at the man and then at Ram. thoughts running amok in that brain of hers but then a voice snaps her out of it. "wawa" Ram could see the woman was hesitating so he decided to give her words of encouragement since staying there would mean the death of them all. at least that is what he could gather from the situation. the woman heard Ram call her and a fire started burning in her eyes "thank you" she says to the man and starts running without looking back. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. BOOOM! An explosion takes place behind her but she keeps running and running. she runs for nearly an hour before she reaches a forest and finally gets too tired to even stand so she just lays down against a tree with her child in her hand and falls asleep. While all this was happening Ram after giving motivational words to the women started asking the system some questions in his mind. ''System is there any way to protect us from that burly man'' [host you will have 1 month of free power-ups before quests start to show up, other features will also open up after a month till then do your best to survive] ''sigh, now what can I do.'' ********* the next day. Morning sun shone on Hanako''s face which woke her up. She checks if the child is fine in her hands and then starts moving towards east. "don''t worry my child I will keep you safe. we will soon reach Dehradun, your uncle is the mayor there he can keep us safe hopefully." Ram also woke up when Hanako started moving, looked at her, and then again closed his eyes to hide the shock in them due to what the system was saying ''Please repeat what you said system'' [congratulation host you got an EX grade mana gathering manual] ''system is EX grade the highest [yes host that is why even I am surprised, do you want me to upload it straight to your brain host?] ''yes please'' ''AAAAAAAAAAA!!!'' Ram starts crying as the pain of getting info sent straight to his brain was more than he expected. Hanako starts pacifying him and wonders what happened to suddenly make a sleeping baby cry. ''he must be hungry so she offers her E cup breast to Ram and Ram being the 20 yr old virgin he is went blank. ''ammm....ammm.ammmmmm...ammmmmmmm ....ammmmmmmmmm what do I do'' [she is trying to breastfeed you host, you need the milk to live host so please stop acting like a virgin, and please don''t embarrass the system] ''hey! I take ..... offense to that'' then Ram latches on and has his breakfast while Hanako simply hums a tune smiling and looking at Ram. after taking his fill he closes his eyes and begin going through the manual he obtained, name of the manual is ''heaven''s collection''. Ram starts to absorb mana at a slow pace and begin to circulate the mana through his body. After an hour of doing so he stopped consciously absorbing but to his surprise mana still kept being stored in his body. ''system is something wrong why can''t I stop absorbing mana'' [host according to the manual once the body knows how to use this method it will unconsciously keep absorbing mana and once it hits the limit of the body it uses the excess to nourish the organs and muscles of the body to strengthen them] ''as expected of a EX grade, system what other grades are there'' [there are EX->SSS->SS->S->A->B->C->D->E] ''ok now do I have a status screen?'' Ram''s status screen pops up as soon as he thinks status screen --------------- NAME: RAM RACE: HUMAN CULTIVATION: MORTAL MANUALS: ''HEAVEN''S COLLECTION'' SKILLS: none str: 0.1 sta: 0.1 int: 1 dex: 0.1 wis: 5 luk: 10 kar: 100 --------------- ''what is kar?'' [host kar stands for karma. It works similarly to luck the higher the karma the better things happen for you but the difference is that karma can go negative and once in negative it works against your luck] [to increase karma do good things or do quests which rewards karma points] [any action that the world judges as bad will decrease karma value] ''the world means the people in the world or the world as an entity'' [the world as an entity host each world which can inhabit life form of any sort on it can only do so after it gains consciousness and becomes an entity] ''system what is the average value of stats for humans here and why is my karma so high?'' [host the average value of a mortal human is 10 and in the past life you saved the little girl which gave you 1200 karma out of which 100 was spent on bringing you out of the reincarnation cycle and 1000 was spent on obtaining the system] Ram nods his head and then goes to sleep since his stamina is still of a little child he got tired after just an hour of meditating. Dehradun: The natural fortress {at the gate of the Dehradun} it took a month of traveling for Hanako and Raj to reach the city. During that one week Raj''s strength kept increasing each day till he reached the power of a 4yr old in the body of a one-year-old. today a different message popped up which annoyed raj somewhat. [the 1-month free powerup period has ended no more free stat increase can be given.] ''*sigh* I knew it would come but it still feels bad to stop getting freebies.'' Hanako had worn a cloak with a hoodie to cover her face which made her look suspicious and made the guard stop her to ask questions. "State the reason for your visit and who are you visiting" she reached into her pocket and showed a ring with the tower insignia on it to the guard. the guard''s tone immediately changed to a respectful one "right this way miss we will escort you to the mayor''s mansion" the inside of the city was very normal just like a normal 21st-century city was supposed to be which made raj think that either he reincarnated into a parallel universe. ''At least I am not in a medieval-era world or some old-school fantasy world, that would be a nuisance since technology makes life quite easy.'' soon the mayor''s mansion came into view, it was a 2 storied classic Indian mansion with a big yard and with a big fountain in the middle of it. at the gate was a tall brown man with a clean face wearing a black suit "sister it''s good that you made it here safely, and I''m sorry for your loss." "thank you, big brother Vikram " "ok let''s go in first and you can rest for today, we can talk about everything else tomorrow" after this short conversation, all of them move into the mansion and the guard who was escorting Hanako returned to his post. Hanako was shown a guest room and then left alone for the rest of the day. after a few hours of rest and a hearty meal, Hanako tucked Raj in and went to the balcony attached to the room and just stood there melancholily looking at the beautiful full moon. Raj was sad looking at the woman who was caring for her since he came to this world but there was nothing he could do for her at least right now. In the end, Raj decided to try to understand his powers. In the last month, Raj learned almost everything about the manual he got from the system. Now Raj''s body automatically collected mana and every time Raj uses up all of the mana in his body the total amount of mana that can be stored in his body would increase but this stopped in about 15 days when the system told him that he has reached the limit of his body and will need to grow at least a fully functional mana-circuit. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. ''system do I have a store or other functions?'' [no host there is no store but there are a few other functions and you can achieve the function through the quest which is given but the difficulty of the quest for the lowest tier function will be S class which is impossible for you right now.] [for now, you have the daily power-up function, the quest function, and the inventory function.] ''.... the inventory function... why did you not tell me I had an inventory'' [you never asked host] ''ok .... can you please show me my inventory'' a blue inventory screen pops up, in it, there is only 1 thing which is a letter. He pressed on it and the letter opened up. \\"Child, this is your father I don''t know if you made it or not but I hope you did. this letter is hidden in your consciousness and can only be seen if someone of my power level tried to find it or if you had a system. If you have a system that means you are a reincarnator or a transmigrator in that case you should be able to see this very easily since this must have shown up in your inventory. I gave my life to make a way for my wife and you to survive so keep her safe. To keep her safe you will need power and believe me no matter how much you want to stay away and live a life of peace that will never happen, that is the curse of being a system bearer so it is better if you try to reach the peak and die trying rather than dying a weak pathetic death without being able to protect your loved ones. I leave this technique which I created with you and this drop of progenitor blood which I obtained through my system. Taking these two as a bribe to keep my surviving family safe or keep it as a gift from a father matters not and it also does not matter who you were in your previous life. Try to live for yourself and your family, do not try to be a hero...I tried that and lost all of my harem and my life so practically everything.... they were taken in front of my eyes and I did nothing just so I can save the world... I repeat do not try to become a hero be a family man....I have two more gifts well not gift''s exactly but one lesson which a father gives to his child and one book. They will come out themselves when your conscious mind is capable of accepting them without breaking down and if you have a system then he or she can tell you. ps: if you take your mother into your harem it''s fine you have my blessing just make sure she is never sad no matter what you do. Treat the system kindly they are also lonely beings. Do me proud my child.\\ ''He was a good man, not the best but a good man....'' Raj ignored the talk about his mother for now and moved on to accept the technique that his father gifted to him ''system what are the techniques and blood that he left and how can I use it [host the technique is ''quick slash'' and the blood is of the ''human progenitor'' you can learn the technique but cannot integrate the bloodline for now so I suggest you postpone learning the technique too since you cannot practice it right now] ''yes, it is useless to me right now so let''s focus on mana cultivation for now.'' Hanako came back from the balcony and lay down beside Raj. "*sniff* *sniff* *sob* " laying there looking at Raj she starts crying, Raj who only has his eyes closed heard it and opens his eyes and looks at the crying face of the woman who cares for him. He never really considered this woman his mother.... well his life here had been hectic but now looking at her so sad something in his heart broke and a thought comes to his mind ''I should listen to the man and move on .....I died and I am here she is my family I need to care for her.....'' "Mama" In a baby voice, Raj spoke his first comprehensible words to the woman he accepted as his mother and the first member of his soon-to-be very very big family. Hanako looked at him and smiled a beautiful loving smile. "yes my child, I am your mama my dearest child" "I still haven''t named you since your father did not even get to name you...*sniff* *sniff*" "Krishna, this will be your name my dear Krishna I hope you live your life proudly, and may it be full of happiness." after saying this she closed her eyes sleeps peacefully with a smile on her face next to her child who had an equally beautiful smile. Home(for now) the next morning Raj woke up to see his mother still sleeping peacefully [good morning host, quests necessary for powerup will be given from today, I hope you will make sure to complete them to the best of your abilities for maximum benefit] ''ok then show me the quests'' \\Tier 1 quests: 1. Crawl for 15 min 2. Drink milk till hunger is satisfied ''X6'' 3. Sleep for 4 hours ''X2'' Tier 2 quests: 1. Meditate for 15 min 2. exhaust mana 1 time// [there are hidden quests too, this was a one-time reminder from now on hidden quest reminders will not be repeated.] ''ok thank you system you are so nice to me.'' [....Host flattery will not get you anything from me.....but I suggest you do all quests before the sleeping and exhausting mana quest.....] ''.....seems father was right after all ''thank you system'' just as the talk between system and Raj ends, Hanako wakes up " Good morning Krishna" Hanako smiles and kisses his forehead and picks him up to take him to the balcony with her. Raj or now Krishna breathes in the fresh air and looks at the sunrise. ''It''s beautiful.'' then he looks at Hanako ''it''s only beautiful if she is with me and she is happy.'' slowly and slowly Hanako was taking deep root in Krishna''s heart. This will then bloom into a relationship that will be the envy of many men and women. After watching the sun rise Hanako took Krishna to take a bath. ''even looking at her body I feel nothing.... wierdly my mind is capable of lewd thoughts but my body is just not developed enough to even feel such feelings'' Hanako was 26 yr old and had a body that was comparable to sculptures crafted by masters. She had big E-cup breasts and a model waist with a smooth stomach. A not so big not so small butt and thicc thighs. After a bath and getting dressed, they both moved through the mansion to a room with big double doors that led to the office of his uncle. Inside was a fantasy-like office with a big window in front of which was a table and the uncle was sitting with his back to the window. Hanako went and sat on the chair, opposite his uncle. "Brother Vikram how are you today" "I am fine Hanako and it seems rest did you some good too" "yeah this little sunshine of mine cheered me up yesterday night,fufufu" Hanako laughs lightly bringing a hand near her mouth. "I have decided to name him Krishna" Vikram looks at Hanako with raised eyebrows and then a smile creeps up on his face. "That''s a nice name but what about the surname?" Hanako closes her eyes and makes an expression as if thinking hard and then open her eyes as if she made a resolution "I will let Krishna decide since taking the surname of his father will make him an enemy to the federation and I do not wish to force him on any path especially not one this blood filled" Vikram nods his head in understanding. Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. "well that is still far in the future for now you can live here and watch him grow we have the best education system here and this place is most prepared to fight against the dungeons" Hanako makes a puzzled expression at the mention of dungeons "ah you must have avoided the town before reaching this city, well basically the oracle in USA has predicted that dungeons will be appearing in the world before the next 10 years. Every city has begun preparing for that and I am proud to say that our defenses are comparable to the defenses of the capital city Delhi." Vikram gives a proud smile while Hanako shows an astonished expression. "Krishna this will be our home till you grow up how do you feel about that" Hanako asks Krishna jokingly to which Krish giggles and nods !! Hanako looks at Vikram for confirmation and looking at his shocked expression she saw right "hahaha looks like we have a another genius in our family" Vikram laughs heartily while Hanako looks proud. "Alright, sister you can make yourself home and tour around the mansion at your leisure. Do not worry about anything simply enjoy your time you have suffered enough being with my elder brother" Hanako smiles and with a polite goodbye leaves the office and tours the mansion. Mansion has nearly 50 or so rooms but instead of going through them, she went out to the garden at the back of the mansion which had various kinds of flowers and a beautiful greenhouse near the middle. Hanako enters the greenhouse and asks a maid to bring refreshments for her and a cloth to be used as a picnic rug on which she left Krishna who began crawling around to complete his daily quest. [quest crawling done, quest meditating done] ''it seems just focusing on any one topic is counting as meditation, good!'' Krishna was thinking about the dungeon situation while he crawled around the picnic rug. ''now how do I exhaust mana'' [host would you like to check the analyze function this is the final function the system has unlocked after the freebie period ended] ''of course \\ Analyse: analyse anything and everything since this skill is connected to akashic records but your access to these records increases as your power level increases or if you get information about an item/being above your access level, your access level may increase. We hope that you read as much as possible.// Krishna looks at his mother and uses the analyze skill. \\ Name: Hanako Koyanagi Race: Human stats~ affection->55 skills-> housewife-S, Fireball-B status effects~// Krishna clicks the stats option \\ str: 6 sta: 8 int: 25 dex: 10 wis: 40 luk: 8 kar: -20 mana->2500 // ''system why is her karma negative??!'' [host I also don''t know I am not omnipotent I too came to this world with you....] ''then can I give my karma to her to balance her''s out" [no but by near her your karma will dampen the negative effect of karma on her and if the time period is large enough her karma may even increase by being influenced by yours. This can only happen because your karma far outweighs her own] ''ok, so that problem will solve itself.'' ''She seems to have a good aptitude for mana and wisdom is ridiculously high....Born in the family of geniuses I am hahahaha.'' [host please stop acting like a retard] ''shut up!! those who do not understand Yoda shall not speak ill of the style'' Then Krishna clicks on affection \\ [This option shows you an estimate of the love the other party holds for you. It can be any type of love be it familial or a lover. Carnal desire will be shown separately. affection has different levels] \\ 10 or below-> acquaintance 11 to 20-> friends 21 to 40->close friends 41 to 60->Love of my life 61 to 80->he is mine(yandere stage) 81 to 100-> he is my everything 100 and above->????? // ''ah, those ???? must be due to my power level being too low well not needed yet anyways'' ''now to exhaust my mana my body already has automatic mana circulation so I can either try to create magic spells or try to expel raw mana out .... anything I do will attract mother''s attention well I can try to let my mana circulate in mother''s body with my technique to enhance her physical capabilities.'' ''let''s do the last option at night while she sleeps.'' ''ok then.....FIREEEEEEE HEED MY COMMAND AND FOLLOW MY WILL TO APPEAR IN THE MATERIAL WORLD!!!!!......I COMMAND THEEEEE!!!!!!'' ...... ''........'' [........host wha] ''stop, I am experimenting do not discourage me.'' ''air then separate oxygen now generate spark through mana friction'' just as Krishna visualizes this while sitting down with his hands outstretched a blue flame appears next to his palm a weak and small but still pure blue beautiful flame. Honoka sees this and is just flabbergasted ''A one-year-old mage..... this is unprecedented and what kind of flame is that I have never seen a blue flame.'' Honoka thought with a proud yet worried expression on her face. she knew if her child grew too quickly it would attract trouble to him or if he had enough aptitude and decides to follow the path of his father she would not be able to stop him and this made her sad but the feeling of pride was there as well since she knew her child had inherited the talent of her family line which was magic. "Krishna my dear mother is very proud but let''s not create fire where it can spread very easily hearing his mother''s voice he stops the spell and looks at her with a smile "Mama" "fufufu yes my dear come to mama" Krishna crawls to mama and rests his head on her bosom ''*sigh* childhood has its own perks.'' after this, they move back into the mansion to spend the rest of the day in peace with nothing too surprising happening. At night, after Honoka goes to sleep Krishna begins his attempt to strengthen Honoka''s physical capabilities by circulating and strengthening her muscles, organs, etc . he begins by holding her figure with his small hands and slowly moves his mana into her body. Honoka''s mana seems to rejoice in meeting his mana as if welcoming it. then he slowly begins to move his mana and store it in her organs which does get a reaction from her. "ahnn.. ahnnn..." ''hmm it seems circulating my mana through her excites her. Is it because the mana is foreign no her mana did not reject mine so this must be just an involuntary reaction well if this works for what I want this is just a necessary thing to make sure of her well-being'' with that, he continued with the circulation and storing while. "ahn.. ahn ooh ah ah oh ahnnn ahnnnnnn!" lewd moans resound in the room for the next hour but fortunately no one other than Krishna was there to hear them. Let the Grinding commence!! {Hanako''s bedroom} As the first rays of sunlight came in through the window Hanako woke up to a peaceful sleeping face of Krishna and a damp bedsheet. ".....*blush*" ''How embarrassing I had a wet dream!!!! I should be paying all my attention on Krishna these kinds of thoughts cannot be allowed to distract me.'' she quickly got up put the sleeping Krishna on the couch and changed the bedsheet. After which she went on about her day of moving around the mansion to help in whatever small tasks she could with Krishna in her hands. Krishna too woke up while Hanako was going towards the garden for her everyday walk. "Goodmorning Krishna" "Mama!" Hanako enters the greenhouse with Krishna and a maid in tow with her. There Krishna begin his quest grinding since all the quests were the same he decided to do what he did yesterday other than manifesting a flame since his mother would be angry and he had a suspicion that the maid was placed as a guard as well as someone who is supposed to monitor his mother and him. The reason? even he could not understand why. ''it matters not since I can not do much till I grow up to at least but I still need one move in case someone tries to hurt me or mother'' ''system is there a skill or any way I could learn a method to protect mother and myself.'' [host your body is simply too undeveloped to handle even low amount of mana. The method of increasing your mother''s physical body is already an out-of-the-box thought] [even your physical stats have stopped growing and all power-ups from today onward will have to be stored till your body grows] ''*sigh*system is there any way to learn about the world I am in'' [no the system has no additional function to gather information so that depends totally on you.] ''well it seems this is time to grind quests since anything else is seemingly impossible'' with this began a full month of quest grind. During this time every night for the first 10 days, Hanako would cum every time Krishna did the ''mana therapy'' (as he named it) on her but after that her body became used to Krishna''s mana and slowly and slowly the side effects dulled down. After 20 days Hanako could feel her body strength increasing which surprised her but she chalked it up to the fancy food. Krishna woke up before Hanako today and as soon as he woke up he heard the system''s voice. [host congratulation on surviving 1 month, ''the freebie period does not count''. The one-month free spin of luck is available would you like to spin] ''yes!'' [you also have the option to increase your luck for the spin by using your karma. Your karma is already high enough that it passively affects the wheel but you can use direct points to increase the effects.] ''what is the lowest value of karma that is needed for it to passively affect my luck in general and future events.'' [You need at least 80 to affect future rolls and events positively. Lower than that and you will have to use karma points to affect your luck but the passive effect is weak compared to spending points.] ''ok and how much to affect my mother''s karma'' Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. [same] ''well then spend 20 points.'' A wheel appears on a screen with various objects on the screen and the wheel spins and finally lands on. [The summoning function!!!!, host your karma truly helped you on this one.] \\ Summoning function: once every year you can summon a copy of an entity of any kind from any parallel universe. The entity is called a copy because the consciousness of the summons is copied from their original universe there fore they are not a copy in the host''s universe. The entity will be summoned in the host''s inner world and can be manifested when the required material for body creation is obtained. Each entity will require different materials which may be difficult or easy to obtain, this will be decided based on the summon''s original strength. The quality of the material can affect the strength of the summon. Once a body is created the entity can die and will return to the host''s inner world and can not have a body made for a year. The summon can be called out in a spirit form without a body being made but it''s strength will always be proportional to the host''s strength. No entity from this universe can be summoned. All entities that are summoned will be neutral to the host and it is up to the host to convince them whether to sign a loyalty contract or a slave contract with the entity. the loyalty contract is a mutual pact between the host and the entity where the entity agrees to become your summon. The slave contract is a one-sided contract where the Host has to overpower the entity in any way until it agrees to the contract. In case of no contract being formed host can de-summon the entity but no re-tries will be given which means host will have to wait for a year for another chance to get a summon. The system will make sure to not summon any entity which could take over your consciousness but it is recommended that the host first learn a good defensive technique for mental attacks so that no unforeseen accident happens. // ''ok that is my own GACHA SYSTEM!!!!, I really love you system you are the best! I must have taken the most op system there is!!'' [..... thank you host...] ''now about the defences part how to get them.... *sigh* I need to grow up enough to convince mother to read books to gain basic knowledge before anything.'' and so began the daily grind, month''s passed by and each day Krishna did his daily quests enjoyed time with his mother and tried to find ways to developed skills from the knowledge of novels that he had. when 9 month''s had passed Krishna was able to successfully create 1 skill. he was now able to spread his mana thinly into the atmosphere around him to see with his eyes closed. [congratulation host for unlocking your first skill Divine sense on your own.] [for unlocking a first skill on your own you get 1 extra summoning roll which can be used at any time] \\ skills- divine sense(C) // ''cool! well still can''t do anything about it might as well keep the grind going'' Krishna continuously grinded the quests for the next three months but was not able to learn any other new skill. Hanako too had grown considerably stronger in the past year with the help of mana therapy and the training that she does to keep her magic skill from getting rusty. *********** October 10, 2040 Today is the day that Krishna or the body that Krishna owned now was born. "Wake up Krishna" Hanako called softly, Krishna opens his eyes and looks at Hanako''s smiling face "Happy birthday my child, lets get a bath and go into the city to get you something" Hanako said in a cheerful voice while Krishna just giggled in a baby voice looking at his cheerful mother. after talking to Vikram about the outing Hanako and Krishna along with Alice the maid which has stuck around Hanako since the day that Hanako arrived in the mansion moved out towards the city market in a car. Alice is a human girl of age 20 and she is very skilled with a knife as shown in the kitchen and during the assassination attempts that were made on Krishna but he never was aware of them since Alice took care of them very discreetly. The visit was mostly uneventful, Hanako brought a few outfits for Krishna and some for Alice as well and then moved toward the flea market saying that there are some very good deals in such markets. Krishna was using the analyze skill continuously since this was one of the very few times he had come outside of the mansion''s boundaries and wanted to know as much as possible as well as not miss any good items if he sees any. Getting Hanako to buy the said item will be a grueling task on its own but that was for future Krishna to worry about. No.... when they entered the flea market Hanako browsed through 1 shop in 5 mins going around at a brisk pace giving Krishna less and less time to analyze stuff but ''luckily'' Krishna analyzed a ring that had a weird description. \\ Mana control ring. A ring that has consciousness and will help you control excess to out-of-control mana but will consume any excess mana the wearer may have. common grade. // [Host a common grade item cannot have a consciousness since only items above rare rank can have a consciousness] ''ah I know what is wrong here but can I actually handle what I am going to try'' Krishna thought as he prepared for a grueling task to come. Curses {Olympus Zeus''s castle} In a majestic castle, sitting on a large throne was a fuming Zeus. "That boy has heavenly luck or what.... He was supposed to be a HUMILIATION!!!! A SLAP TO THE FACE OF SHIVA!!!!! A chance to take that system away from their mythology" "yet somehow it''s not even been a year but he is still fine. I thought that he would die in the pursuit of that puny human but he survived, then he survived the forest where I sent a high-level monster in secret but he survived." "Now not even my curse that should be weakening him is not even working! is this because of that karma value? that amount of karma should not be able to shield him from my curse." When Zeus was sending Raj to the new world he cursed him so that the child will die quickly even if he survived the first year since that was needed for that particular system to disappear from Indian Mythology. "if I curse him even more, the neutral faction will feel it but I have no other way, for now, *sigh* sorry child but you simply died in the wrong place and your fate is going to get worse I will make sure of it." "? ???S ???S? ??? ????S??? !!!!!" "? ??V?? ??? ?? ????S ???? ???? ? ???????? ??? ???? ????!!!!" THUNDER!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOM!! "ZEEUUUSSSSS!!!!!!!" Shiva''s roar could be heard throughout the universe a few planets were destroyed while many others had major natural disasters unleashed upon them. Aphrodite walked into the throne room and looked at Zeus with an irritated gaze. "This was unnecessary the child would have died when the dungeons were released. We need to show those humans who they should side with when the void creatures start attacking and if that child can prove your involvement in the curse then it will tip the scales towards those other supernatural races" Zeus looks at aphrodite and then smiles lustfully "you need not worry about it I made sure even the system won''t be able to tell that he was cursed you just jump when I say jump and you will be fine now get out" Aphrodite''s looks turn to one of utter hatred but she simply turns around and walks out. ''Zeus you are not the only one who can bless and curse... for forcing me to marry Hephaestus was something I will never forget!'' and then she does something which could be seen as doing something against Zeus or her pantheon but she did not care rage was blinding her for a long time now and the chance for revenge no matter how petty is always welcomed by the goddess of love since love is and always has been dangerous. "?????????????? ?? ?????????????????? ?????????? ??????" "?????? ?????????? ???????????? ???????? ?????? ????????-?????????? ???? ???????? ?????????? ????????" then she coughs up some blood and looks toward the blue sky "this is all I can do for you child, I hope you grow to the level of thrashing this old bastard. If you do then don''t forget my help fufufu." If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. *************** {flea market} "Mama" Krishna points toward the ring while pulling at this dress. "Oh, Looks like my child has taken fancy to jewelry eh fufufu like mother like son. Yes yes I will buy it my child now stop pulling at my dress" Hanako says as she buys the ring and then gives it to Alice for safekeeping "you can have it when we get home and I can keep an eye on you so that you don''t swallow it ok my dear, now let''s roam through the other shops quickly we have been out for a few hours now." after roaming for another hour three of them moved back into the carriage and moved towards the mansion. [HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOW DARE THESE SUPERNATURAL BEINGS PULL TRICKS LIKE THIS!!!! WHO DO THEY THINK I AM!!!! I AM THE EVERYDAY SYSTEM A HIGH-TIER SYSTEM THAT EVEN THE GODS RESPECT!!!!!!] ''!! system are you ok? what happen why are you screaming.'' [HOST I HAVE NO TIME TO EXPLAIN BUT I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU. I WILL GIVE YOU MY LOYALTY AND FULL SUPPORT AND NOT JUST THE MANDATORY SUPPORT IN RETURN YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE ME YOUR REMAINING KARMA] ''calm down and tell me properly what happens first'' [host you have received two curses one was given to you when you were reincarnating and the second one was just now. The first one was a normal killing curse that would have made sure you would be dead in a year but that was destroyed by the system antivirus but the caster of the second curse is someone who knows that you have a system and made sure that I would not be able to know about the curse] [WELL THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE EVERLASTING SYSTEM MY PRIDE AS A SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE MY HOST BE AFFECTED BY AN UNKNOWN CURSE..... ahem and that is why I proposed this deal to you since I was only supporting you moderately I did not tell you about the curse if you had asked it I would have told you. Most new high-tier systems follow this policy so that we don''t support an idiotic or ''evil'' host. All high-tier systems have personalities so it depends on the system too.] ''well ok then'' Krishna really did not have a choice here since now he knew his system was a prideful one if he did not support his system now then later on, she might not even support him after many many years..... [Good! let''s see now] [Host the curse is ''The loss of a loved one'' which affects the life of your loved ones. One of the people close to your heart will die each year] \\ Curse: The loss of a loved one effect: One of the people close to your heart will die each year. ''WHAT!!!!!'' [host calm down you still have a year and we know who the curse will target] ''*sigh* ok .... so what can we do about this.'' [we can either find a way to remove the curse or we can make sure nothing bad happens to the one being targeted] [Usually, the second option is not easy since if you had many close people then we would not have known who would be targeted but now that we know who we just need to know when and how to protect them] ''I was born just a year ago why am I being targeted what sort of cursed life did Lord Zeus send me to this life and why my loved ones .....'' Helplessness... This is what one feels when the life of people you care about comes under the threat of death and this is what Krishna was feeling right now. [host, to do anything you need strength. even if you want to live a normal life you need such strength so that no one can force you or even include you in their schemes.] ''strength..... its funny really in my previous world money ruled and here strength rules or I suppose I never had an opportunity to enter the supernatural world in my precious life so it can be seen like this. To a certain level money rules but if you have enough strength then it can defeat money so... at least in the supernatural world strength rules.'' while this discussion was happening Hanako and Krishna reached the mansion and entered their room while Alice went to stand guard at the door. Hanako placed Krishna on the bed and took out the ring to examine it. It was a normal gold ring with a weird inscription on it. ''I will get it examined by a mage to make sure it is not harmful to Krishna'' Sadly it was not meant to be examined since as soon as Hanako and Krishna went to sleep at night the ring started floating and flew to Krishna and merged with his head. [HOST! your luck is decreased quite a lot or you just attract danger and the karma kept you safe because now we have someone trying to take over your consciousness] ''what??'' and then came the voice of an old man ''hmmm not bad good foundation and even better capacity for mana this body will do just fine now ... you boy sorry to say but you will have to die but feel honoured that you will be contributing your body to the revival of the long lost vampire clan the Dracu'' Suddenly a feminine voice boomed in the dark place which was Krishna''s consciousness. ''No, he won''t since any member of my family deserves to live a happy life much less someone with such a pure bloodline that it could even house 25% of my DNA''s copy!!.'' Grandma is here!!!! A white line shines in the darkness of Krishna''s consciousness and a woman descends from the sky akin to the angels. The only difference was the aura filled with malice that could be felt oozing out of her. fuusssshhhhhh step step step reddish smoke emerges and flowers outwards as the woman lands and steps forward, each step made Krishna feel safe while the old man was scared out of his wits. "Don''t worry my child I will keep you safe." ''like daughter like mother'' Thought Krishna "Now as for you, HOW DARE YOU EVEN TRY TO LAY A FINGER ON HIM!!" She raises her hands as blood-red chains bind the man to a stake. Then she walks up to him and... slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap with one hand she gives the old man slaps left right till his cheeks are swollen in a cartoonish way. [oof] ''oof'' oof ''I really hope she is on my side I do not wish to be her enemy'' 15 minutes is the approx time that she took to practically humiliate the old man tied to the stake "ok now that my anger has calmed" she waves her hand and the old man is free again and simply lying on the floor. "Dear grandson do make sure to kill this lowlife. It is my policy to not pamper the lower generation too much and if you are really my grandson you should know who would be sad if he actually won your body due to your foolishness of sparing him" "yes Miss thank you for your help but who are you?? I mean I know you say you are my grandma but" "Ahh I see a reincarnation hmmm since you have memories of the precious life too the bloodline memories are suppressed... Well you can just take my word for it I did save your life just now did I not" well it was not that Krishna could not tell since he could see her status screen \\ Name: Rory Mercury race: High human Cultivation: mortal (sealed) Mana: 40,000 Skills-> sealed stats~ relationship -> 40 // but she was literally Rory mercury from GATE!!.... like the apostle and now Krishna was left wondering if he was lucky or not. She is literally a demi-god but she is also a 900+ year-old grandma? she seems like a 20 year old girl. She was wearing a black gothic dress as depicted in the anime the only difference being she did not have her halberd. ''C cups.... nice'' "child you can admire me later on for now deal with the old man" Krishna was a 20-year-old virgin weeb in his past life so dealing with beautiful women was not really his forte and any interaction will make him flustered for now. ''o..ok grandmother'' "fufufu well I will make a lady killer out of you now that I am awake." Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Krishna then looks at the old man who was going to take everything from him and most probably would have lived as him for the rest of the time and revived his clan .....even turned his mother. crack it felt as if the reality itself had cracked but actually, it was just Krishna''s personality or more like his thoughts and feelings that had opened up. Krishna walks up to the old man and just loses it punch punch punch punch punch punch punch punch he kept punching his face till it was nothing other than a mush of flesh and bones. He had a cold glint in his eyes while a faint smile on his face this is who Krishna was a cold man to the world yet the warmest of person to his loved ones. after a certain amount of punches, the old man just broke into particles of light and disappeared. [ding! congratulation host for killing a 700-year-old vampire soul you have received 2500 exp. this will be stored since your body is not ready for any sort of power boosts but you can use exp to level up the summons.] "Good work Krishna now go ahead and call me big sis Rory" ''Ammm is that necessary'' "do you wish for my assistance in safeguarding your consciousness" ''*sigh* big sis Rory thank you for your help.'' "fufufu no worries dear that is the duty of a grandparent and now to spoil you a little here" she proceeds to tap his forehead with a finger and a technique for mental defense enters his mind. \\ Skill: ''My mind is a fortress.'' Allows the user to create shields around his consciousness to stop or at least delay an invader. // "This is not a very powerful technique but it will allow you to survive till I arrive. Now off you go I brought you here to meet you and show you this valuable lesson, I hope you learned something." ''yes thank you for your teachings'' Krishna opened his eyes and found himself in the real world next to a sleeping Hanako ''sigh Grandpa saved me this time but I need to find a way to counterattack mental attacks.'' ''system will the mental defense technique work as a defense against a summon?'' [yes, it will host] ''ok then let''s add this to the daily grind'' ****************** | 7 YEARS LATER | {Hanako''s room} time passed days to months to years and like this 7 years passed by in a flash. No exciting or new thing happen other than when he grew 4 year old the powerups that had stacked up started to assimilate into his body due to which it grew exponentially so he now had a body of an 8-year-old at 4 year of age. In 5th year of Krishna''s living in this world he had started physical training under the teaching of his grandma and the system''s quest as any other protagonist but what was different was that he pulled his mother and Alice into it. Alice was fine but Hanako struggled to complete the training each day for a month after which she was able to complete it properly. This training helped all three of them immensely. Krishna now had a body that looked like that of a 14-year-old while he was still 8 years of age. He had stopped aging on his 7th birthday, and that was when the system had told him that he had once again hit the limit of a teenage body so the powerups were once again getting stacked and kept aside. Today was a normal day he had just finished his morning training with Mother and Alice. He was going to take a bath just as a message popped up but this time in a red screen \\ QUESTS FROM VARIOUS GODS HAVE APPEARED!! // \\ Welcome to the Vampire system! dungeons are about to appear all around the world. A few humans have been chosen to fight them and have been given special powers to do so. These chosen ones will usher humanity into a new era but the danger that these people must face is not small so please prepare. To help the chosen ones get accustomed to dungeons and the system we have graciously sent the system to you humans a few years early!! Who are we? We are vampires obviously! you guys did not think we just existed in fantasy land, did you? Yes, vampires are real and no you cannot tell about vampires actually existing to anyone who does not have a system yet. Quests will be issued and those who do those quests will be awarded with exp and items. Those who do exceptionally will get blood points which you can use to get yourself converted into a vampire!! which would make you immortal and vampires grow stronger naturally without training which means you will stand on the top of humanity so make sure to try your best to become a vampire before the dungeons appear. // this message alone would have been weird but there were many others from gods of different mythologies, werewolves, yokai, witches, and many many more. After all, these screens popped up another message on a black screen came into view \\ Chosen one, various races have shown interest in taking you under their wing Which ''QUEST FROM GOD'' will you choose // ''what is happening ?'' after collecting his thoughts he made a choice ''NONE! I already have a system and either way there is no pure human system and the end game of every other system seems to change the species of the human into either a demi or a full-blown member of the species that you chose the system of.'' [host even if you chose the other system I can simply absorb it since I am a high-tier system and have leveled up twice in the past 8 years so if you wish for it you can take another system.] ''Naah you are more than enough for me..... I may sometimes look like a pervert but I am in fact a very loyal guy to my family and you dear system are the core member of my family.'' [ahem.....alright then....ah yes there was a boon you received] \\ Blessing: Safety of a loved one Effect: you will always know the status and the location of the people you designate as loved ones in your heart. // ''who the hell is giving me these is there no way to know??'' [expert level strength and system has to be level 5 if you wish to know who the curses and the blessings are from] ''ok will tackle it when it comes, for now I need to grow exponentially stronger and to do that I hav'' cutting his thought the system''s beautiful feminine voice was heard by Krishna. [host the progenitor''s blood drop has reacted to your decision of remaining a human! It wishes to grant you the progenitor bloodline.] The Progenitor is back?? ''This..... things are coming together too quickly as if already planned. Was me getting the progenitor blood drop also planned or was this an anomaly?'' Rory''s voice comes from Krishna''s consciousness. ''it does not matter whether all this was planned or not, you as you are right now can do jack shit about it even if you knew it was planned by someone. If they could get their hands on the blood of a human progenitor what can you do to them... what you need right now is strength my child simply accept for now that even if this was planned your action will dictate your future.'' ''Yes, you are correct as usual grandma, thank you. System what should I do to accept the blood drop?'' [drink it host, rest everything will happen on its own. There will be a lot of pain host] ''yes yes, the usual novel troupe of gaining power after death like pain..... nothing new right.'' Krishna had allowed the system and Grandma to look at his memories so they could look through them at their leisure and not get bored so now there were a young gothic girl and a blue system screen with robotic eyes watching a screen made of smoke. On that screen were sometimes anime sometimes light novels and even Krishna''s life experiences and embarrassing moments. [well host I believe we should do the summoning first since if we can form a loyalty contract the summon could help miss Rory in stopping the collapse of your inner world if you lost consciousness.] ''The benefits do outweigh the drawbacks since the worst that can happen is sending the summon back. Let''s do it!'' [ok then, Using this year''s summon chance] *DRRRRRRRRRRR....RRRR..RR.R DING!* A large amount of smoke started gathering in Krishna''s consciousness and slowly started taking the form of a woman. Krishna''s jaw dropped to the ground and with eyes as big as an owl he watched as the smoke took the form of ''Cathleen Bate'' Yes the Cathleen Bate from My hero academia!!. Cathleen Bate was a tall woman with a well-muscled build. She had elegant facial features, narrow eyes, and long flowing blonde hair with eight distinct tufts swept backward and fashioned similarly to the ones All Might possessed in his empowered form. Her hero costume was a high-collared skin-tight bodysuit with shoulder pads, boots and gauntlets. Fitting to her home country and hero name, the upper torso was decorated in stripes, and her gauntlets and collar are studded with metal stars. Completing the outfit was a long, striped cape that resembles the U.S. flag. ''I had expected that someone from anime might be summoned but I did not know a deceased character will be summoned!! but it is fairly possible that out in the unlimited parallel multiverses, there could be many many versions of Cathleen, alive or dead.'' [host stop making conjectures and please pay attention] after calming his thoughts and excited feelings he looks at Cathleen only to see her staring at him. ''amm hello'' Krishna gives a greeting and goes for a handshake, Cathleen looks at him and shakes his hand then speaks in a formal tone ''hello but who are you and where am I, is this hell or the afterworld ??'' ''Well I summoned you.'' ''..... what'' then Krishna explains to her about his situation, the system and the summoning function ''so I am just a copy of my original self?'' The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. [since you have confirmed that you have died in your previous world then I too can confirm that your whole soul was brought here and not just a copy since there is nothing left to be a copy of your original self.] '' And if you know so much about myself then you too must be from my universe right then tell me what happen after I died??'' ''All answers will be given to you Cathleen but first, a contract needs to be formed'' ''yes and as you have told I have two choices a loyalty or a slave contract correct?'' ''yes'' ''well I would like to observe you first if your character and personality are similar to mine I will sign a loyalty contract otherwise you can try the slave contract but it sure won''t be easy hahahaha'' ''*sigh* I knew it would be like this.... you truly are the Cathleen Bate I have read about, well fine by me please watch closely if I am up to your standard since I am sure that I am.'' ''you sure are confident ''you are one of the few heroes in your world who I truly saw as a hero since your priority was set regardless of rules and worthless talks of politicians and such.'' Cathleen just smiles a faint smile remembering her days as a pro hero and nostalgia starts to hit her, but she is somewhere else now and a new beginning is looking at her in the face right now. ''I need one help from you miss Cathleen, could you please help Grandma in helping to protect the inner world'' ''How do I do that?'' Rory interjects in between looking a bit annoyed ''I will tell her about the technique you go and start the absorption and remember to actually have enough power to hold your and your loved one''s fate in your hand you need to be at least a pawn on the chessboard that is this universe.'' ''and no even master mages are just dust you need to be at least arch mage to be a pawn.... I know the way you wish to live and to live proudly and not give a fuck about those gods you need to be a progenitor since no normal being can match a god only progenitors of each race can equal the gods...Yes it''s unfair but.'' Both Krishna and Rory smile widely and with fury in their eyes looked at each other, both knew the fury was directed at different beings but the feeling was the same. ''THE WORLD WAS NEVER FAIR!!!!'' ''THE WORLD WAS NEVER FAIR!!!!'' ''HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'' ''HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'' Cathleen just looks at them in amusement. ''ok, I am drinking the drop now. See you on the other side everybody'' Rory nods while Cathleen simply stares at him. Krishna had moved back to his and Hanako''s room and sat crossed-legged on the floor holding the bottle with a drop of Progenitor blood in his hand. *GULP* ''ahh shit here we go.'' this was the only thought Krishna could have before.... "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" the pain was something that only the one going through could properly experience since no words would explain how one would feel when their DNA is being reconstructed, each time this happens and new wave bursts and then again again again again... then starts the reconstruction of the brain and nerves then organs, bones, muscles. while these demonic screams could be heard only Hanako could go into the room and into the room she went only to see her precious child on the floor screaming in agony. Each bone of his body could be heard cracking and rejoining his skin had turned blue and all the veins were visible almost as if wanting to burst out of the body. Hanako tried calling him a few times but seeing that nothing was working she simply sat next to her child guarding him.... all she could do was trust him to come back to her safe and sound. "Will you too take all decisions alone..... will I once again have to wait for your safe return just like your father" a silent tear leaves her eyes yet she just keeps looking at her child having a plethora of complex thoughts in her brain. Krishna opened his eyes to find himself in a white room all alone. ''Did I die again..... that would be pathetic of me.'' "no, you did not die but you sure will if I don''t approve of you" "I take it that you are the previous progenitor" "yes and you wish to be the next.... here watch what is the fate of every human progenitor" Krishna is shown memories of various progenitors throughout the ages each with different experiences which Krishna too goes through.... Genocides, Healing, Protecting, Attacking, hiding, and even war so many experiences yet all end the same way losing everything at the hand of gods. No matter how strong it''s as if fate itself refuses to let the progenitors win. "why.... why can we never win!" Krishna asks while crying blood tears "because no matter how strong or cunning we get till we survive the gods can never truly control humans since we the progenitor of the race are fully capable of leading them and any human will feel more respectful towards us than any god...Those proud gods cannot swallow this so they band together.... no matter which pantheon or mythology they all band together to kill us and once again humans become the sheep and gods become the shepherd." "the toughest progenitor was a cultivator he killed several gods but he was arrogant and showed all his cards while attacking low-tier gods..... all main gods simply banded together to bind him to the bloodline itself to show their supremacy and to let the arrogant progenitor see each of his successors die a horrible death" "So tell me boy why should I....we, why should we place our trust in you who is just a greenhorn and not even an arch-mage." if it had been before Krishna lived the lives of various Progenitors he might have answered properly but now. Naah bit*h!! "hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" Krishna put a hand on his face while laughing like a maniac and looks at the progenitor. "WHAT IS THIS USELESS PRIDE IN YOU C**T!!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO JUDGE ANY HUMAN''S ABILITY WHEN YOU PROGENITORS ARE THE CAUSE OF US HUMANS BEING SO WEAK!!!!!!!! WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PASS ON KNOWLEDGE TO YOUR KIND YOU FOCUSED MORE ON RULING AND CONTROLLING THAT KNOWLEDGE!! BECAUSE OF THIS WE NEVER EVEN GOT TO KNOW THE TECHNIQUE THAT THE FIRST TO FIFTY''TH PROGENITOR CREATED FOR US!! AND YOU !!!! YOU ARE A STAIN ON THE NAME OF PROGENITOR BIT*H YOU ARROGANT CULTIVATOR!" "TO HELL WITH THE PROGENITOR POWERS!! I need no such thing to reach my goal.... and the power that comes with this status is simply tainted with the blood of generations of humans that were killed just because you all decided to selfishly create empires and such instead of uniting my race. This power that you had attained came with a purpose and you all forsake that purpose." The progenitor simply listened to Krishna scream at his face yet in his heart he too knew that he had been an idiot at that time and every progenitor after the 50th progenitor had simply done what they wanted and not what a progenitor should do..... Lead the race. "I did earn quite a bit of experience from this encounter..... So tell you what if I ever met the human progenitor out in the world, I will help him once and only once" with an irritated look on his face, the progenitor was in a bind right now ''I expected him to at least accept the role and not outright refuse..... which idiot would refuse to become a Progenitor!'' Only through fated encounters could one even have the chance to become a progenitor and there really were not that many fated encounters happening around the world. This encounter itself happened 100 years after the last encounter. ''his body was good for possession too but that will take time, if he simply refuses the blood, it will not be possible..... *sigh* I guess this one is gone too'' Suddenly the look in his eye changed from irritated to angry. "ok then If you want to take this path then dedicate your potential to the next progenitor!" a blood orb drops from the ceiling and begins to pull Krishna towards it ''ok even I know not to go towards that... I am still not strong enough!..... but well I have been doing just physical training, Let''s start mental and spiritual training when I get out of here.'' "hmmm never really prepared to fight the progenitor himself but you are not a progenitor are you, well at least not now." the thing is for the past 8 years doing quest outstandingly did not get him any extra function or item but each day he would get +10 mana and well that adds up to a whopping 30,000 mana which he now possessed. Mana reached humans just 1000 years ago with the help of the last progenitor but It did exist since the beginning of the Universe. One could say that mana itself is as old as the Universe and is seen as an origin power by every being whether new or old. It is also the only power that can fight against divine power as well as hell''s corruption, so one may say that it is the universe''s way of balancing things out. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. the thing is that even if Krishna had mana of an insane amount he still did not have a way or a skill through which he can efficiently use it. "This might just wreck my body but if I die here what would I do with my body" He begins to collect mana in his right hand 10....100....1000. the progenitor looks at Krishna''s suicidal move and just starts laughing "hahaha for you to even make a dent into the ability keeper you need at least 15000 mana and for an 8-year-old even as abnormal as you it is physically impossible to hold that amount of mana, so stop this futile resistance and simply be happy that you will help your race" Krishna''s smile grows and he simply continues 1000.....10000....15000.....20000. "What!! this is not possible how can you hold this much mana in you!!!!" Progenitor''s mind starts racing to find a plausible experience there is no mana in the atmosphere here. Is he not human? no that is also not possible or else he would not have reached this room.... but if he actually has this much mana then he could become the strongest human and I might be able to use that!! "boy you actually have this much potential why not just become a progenitor, you can actually become the strongest progenitor and correct what you think all the other progenitors did wrong." "HA you think I care about humans..... no I don''t bit*h all I care about are my family. as for anybody else If I feel like it I will help otherwise I won''t, as simple as that. All this effort that I have and will continue to put into becoming strong is just so I can do what I want, when I want, wherever I want." 25000 ''ok, this much should be enough.'' after seeing that Krishna stopped collecting mana the Progenitor felt that this must be his limit. "that still is not enough to destroy the sphere, there is still time just accept your destiny and live as a proud progenitor." "hehehehHAHAHA I really wanted to say this, Thank you for providing me the opportunity to say this" at this point, Krishna was dangerously close to the sphere and while the punch which Krishna prepared would not destroy the sphere who said it was for the sphere. "Fu*k destiny and fu*k fate. I decide what I ... *sigh* too cringy need to find some better lines dammit, and as for you who said this is for your sphere you old fogey. "I hope I meet you in the outside world too someday so that I can beat the shit out of you myself" Saying this Krishna begins to punch the orb but changes the position just before changing the direction toward the floor. BOOOOOM! the floor shatters the walls shatter and even the ceiling shattered and a black void could be seen all around them. The last thing Krishna heard before blacking out was just a sentence. "I will find you!!!" ''yeah I hope you do'' *************** {hospital lobby outside Krishna''s resting room} Hanako was talking with Vikram outside of the room so as to not disturb Krishna. "Is he gonna be ok?" "the doctor could not find anything wrong with him and all tests are fine as well. Only Krishna can tell us what happened, let''s just wait for him to wake up" after Hanako saw that nothing she did could help Krishna she decided to get him to the hospital but Krishna''s condition had improved before reaching the hospital and by the time they reached, Krishna was already in top shape. On the recommendation of the doctor they decided to have Krishna stay here under observation. inside the room Krishna was stifling a groan since he knew no matter where he was his mother will be close by and should already be very tense he did not wish to worry her more. That punch had messed up the entire structure of mana veins in Krishna''s body which hurts like hell. ''well the silver lining is that now I can help you create superior mana veins'' Rory tries to placate Krishna''s growing pain and it does work. ''my previous veins are not even buried yet shameless grandma hahaha'' *cough*cough* ''you are getting cocky as time passes, seems like one more round of sparring is needed to bring you back.'' Krishna decided to ignore that last comment and focused on enduring the pain. After 15 minutes of feeling his veins burning finally the pain subsided and he opened his eyes to find himself in a hospital ward. ''seems like I screamed too loud.'' then he closes his eye and returns to his inner world ''hey here comes the bold man'' Cathleen comments while snickering a little ''yeah yeah gave up a huge opportunity and sh*t but I did what I felt was right. Either way having the progenitor title simply would have meant more trouble and as for the skills, I can gain them through system dearest.... no need to stick out my neck like that.'' Principles and Goals Rory who was looking at Krishna speaks in an elderly tone ''Gaining power and skills is well and good but what are you going to do with it. You are not an immortal who can simply laze around nor a supernatural who could simply grow stronger or is stronger naturally.'' ''You are a simple Human who is supposed to be weak so any step you take towards power will be going against the natural order of things, to keep going on such a path you need a goal, and to keep you grounded you need Principles.'' ''goals change and even principles change but they need to exist to change so take some time to find your goal and set some principles.... ground rules if you will.'' Cathleen looks at Rory and nods to show she too agrees with this path of action. ''hmm a goal, eh hasn''t it always been to be strong enough to protect my family and be able to do what I want.'' ''Yes but that you can do here too if you just stay in this city you can do what you want but if an outside force came then?'' ''so you mean I need to decide till which level I wish to be able to do this ...'' Krishna closes his eyes and simply faces the sky while trying to figure out what his heart wants. ''I have the system and a unique bloodline..... if after getting this much I still aim small I might as well just donate everything and become a sage or something.'' Rory smiles and gives and approving look while Cathleen calmy listens to them. ''Good that''s how a man should be now listen closely about the power levels that you will face in the future.'' [Miss please let me do it, I have compiled all the needed information through the books he read so I can create a proper chart for him to follow] ''You got lucky that you had a system before these ''Quests from god'' came to town.'' Krishna laughs and replies ''haha yeah I did'' \\ Power levels:- 1. Mortal level 1-20 2. Apprentice mage level 21-50 3. Mentor mage level 51-100 4. Archmage level 101- 200 5. Demi-god level ????? no reference for obtaining data 6. God level ????? no reference for obtaining data // [this is the path for the human power system so it is not absolute and can be used as a reference. True strength is not only your power level but the collection of skills, level and experience in fighting.] ''alright then now you take your time to set your goals. We will begin your training tomorrow.'' [host, you have received 1 curse and 1 Blessing] \\ Curse: Hated by Humans All humans will hate you but all enemies of humans will have a favorable impression of you. Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. Blessing: Mr charming your beauty and charm is highest among all races. // '' ok now that is troublesome'' [host the blessing you received is higher level than the curse so the negative part of the curse is nullified but your charm will be severely less effective on humans.] ''fufufu Grandson who did you impress to get such blessings, only gods can give out blessings and this powerful blessing of beauty can only be given by a god who has beauty as their main divinity(/element).'' All three of them begin to think carefully and came up with a list of goddesses who would gain something from blessing him but the list was not very long since very few goddesses would even notice him much less gain something from him..... he was simply too weak right now. ''well we have our list or more like these 3 could have blessed me Lakshmi, Parvati and Aphrodite.'' Cathleen speaks confusedly ''there are other major gods of beauty why not them.'' Rory begins to explain the reason for selecting these goddesses. ''Lakshmi and Parvati are the goddesses of the mythology from this country and aphrodite because I am 100% sure the first two curses were from Zeus since only he knew the potential of Krishna at that time.'' ''Rest of the gods and goddesses have no reason to even pay attention to Krishna, He is just that insignificant right now.'' ''well it does not matter right now does, Grandma I will talk with mother and try to arrange a place to train.'' ''Good now go and calm her down and go out around the city with her, you are just a 8 year old so enjoy a little. It should take 2 year to train you after which your foundation would be perfect and we could move out if you so wish too.'' Krishna smiles and leaves the inner world. Honoka is sitting beside a sleeping Krishna, her eyes still swollen and red from crying for a few hours. Krishna wakes up and looks at Honoka. "Good morning mother" "Good morning you stupid son of mine I will beat you once we get out of this place and you will be grounded for a year!! *sniff**sniff*" The memories of yesterday came back and Honoka''s eyes had again become moist and nose had started running. "Now tell me what happened" Krishna then tells her mother about the letter, the blood drop and even about Grandma. "what! you have... WHAT!!!!" "Calm down mother she cannot materialise yet but in two years of time I should repair my mana veins" "You listen to me little boy you are 8 years old you are not supposed to think about training but school. I agreed to not send to you school because I thought you were extremely shy since you never went out!!" "yes yes you can ground me for the next year and more but I need to find a place to train.... I want to roam around the world with you and not be worried about our life. For that to happen I need to be strong, stronger than anyone even countries and while that may not be possible in such a short time I will be strong enough that people think twice about attacking me or you." After seeing here son lying on a hospital bed and smiling like a devil with possisveness in his eyes Honoka shivered a little and her private part began leaking. This was a effect of his latest blessing, while the blessing would work a lot less effectively on humans but for Honoka who had high affection for Krishna this was just the push to make her a Yandere for her child. This was a problem and a gift that Krishna will receive after his training. After getting out of the hospital Krishna made the same request to his Uncle who was happy seeing his drive to become stronger and created a bunker near the mansion for Krishna to train in. In the evening Honoka postponed grounding krishna took Krishna to the city to roam around and have fun since she too knew that he would be going to train and not go out for at least a year. At this point Krishna had started light flirting with Honoka but she mostly ignored those attempts but they did have an effect since the affection value had risen quite a lot now from 55 to 60 but since last 2 years it was stuck at 60. After going around the city and having dinner both Honoka and Krishna went to sleep only today aura that Krishna exuded was making Honoka wet so she went to sleep in the guest room while Krishna pretended to sleep. ''hehe How long will you keep running mother'' Krishna opens his eyes but all one could see were two black holes trying to suck all the remaining light in the room. Those eyes represented the possiveness he possessed for his mother now whether it was for just his mother or for every member of his family, that only time would tell. The next morning he said good bye to his mother and went to the bunker to begin his training. As soon as he entered the bunker he heard Rory''s voice. ''I will be responsible for your spiritual and mental training, by the end of this training session I will make sure that no amount of killing intent or seduction can even effect you and no matter who it is until and unless they are the origin gen or 1st gen gods they would not be able to overpower you spiritually'' then Cathleen spoke ''I will be training your physical body, while it is very good but as I have learnt from miss Rory it is not enough to fight those other races so we will be working on physique.'' [host you should make a loyalty contract with miss Cathleen now and then use the Yearly summon] ''Almost forgot about the, so Cathleen are you fine with my character.'' Krishna smiled knowing full well what her answer would be since he could see her status screen too.
