《Heaven Devourer》


 Prologue - System Initiation

    Another day comes as Ren gets up from bed while the sun rays pass through his window..Getting up from bed, he brushes his teeth and eat a simple toast for breakfast before going to school..


    The rest of the day passes by fast as always and Ren gets up from his desk to go home but on his way to the school gate 4 guys surround him and tell him to follow them.


    Without even making a sound Ren follows behind the leader of the group named Marco. He is very tall with muscular build and even though a high schooler, he is 1.90m in height.


    While they walk the leave the school and go behind the stores right across the road and continue to an alley where there is nothing more than a trash can..


    Marco sits on a broken sofa there while he talks to Ren.


    Marco: "Did you bring money today shrimp?"


    Ren looks at Marco a few seconds before answering


    Ren: "No"


    Marco looks at Ren with a hint of anger in his eyes before signalling the other 3 guys and they start beating Ren on the ground for more than 5 minutes..After they finished they left while leaving behind a face-blooded Ren on the ground.Without making a sound Ren gets up and starts walking slowly but steadily towards his home while getting odd looks from the surrounding people. Arriving at his house he goes imediately for a bath to relax while something odd is happening .. His face is starting to heal automatically. Ren doesnt find this strange so he continues goes into the bath and gets a shower before getting out and relaxing on his sofa. The house he stays in, is the family home of his parents who died 4 years ago in a car accident and since then he lives alone. To maintain the electricity and water as well as food expenses Ren is working in a supermarket in his neighborhood.


    While eating and watching some TV, he realizes his foot is striking on something and when he looks down he find that the wood from the floor broke and came up revealing something inside. Curious about what it is Ren grabs the wood and breaks it off the floor while looking at an antique box that reveals itself with a mark of a wolf on it.


    Ren picks up the box and places it on the table in front of him while looking at curiously. Interested in whats inside, he twist the key found in the lock of the box and it opens. Staring at the chained ring, Ren picks it up and stares at it while finding nothing else inside. He decides thats its worth something so he might as well sell it to help him pass the days. With that in mind he wears it around his next and then gets up to get ready for work.


    Locking the house and going down the street leading to the supermarket, Ren is looking at the ring while lost in thoughts when suddenly he hears a sound. When Ren turns his head he sees light and then he feels his body getting dragged down on the street while his last thought was on the image he managed to see when he turned his head. A motorcycle heading right at him in 2 metres distance..


    After a long time Ren manages to open his eyes and look around.. What he sees is a small wooden room closed of with only a lamp for light and nothing else around except the bed.While he tries to get up, he starts getting headache when he found a voice in his head making noise.

After aproximately 5 minutes he is notified that the recovery is suffesful and his dantian fixed. Without wasting any time Ren gets the 2 books and starts reading the body cultivation one while listening to the announces of the system

 Chapter 01 - First Kill

    After Ren checks his status he is ready to leave the cabin and go outside.. What he sees when he comes out is a forest with huge trees covering the sky.. Not knowing where he is and what he will do from now on Ren remembers that there is a fuction on his system.


    Ren: "Map"


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">

    All of a sudden Ren sees a circular map appearing in front of him. While searching for any trace of civil he realizes that half the map is filled with red colors while the other half shows blue.. Ren realizes that there are probably beast in the red area and clicks on 1 red dot.. Suddenly he sees a system notice


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td style="text-align: center">System Notice: Common grade Red Boar. A beast commonly seen in forests and places with abudant grass. Very slow but good strenth, it mainly eats grass and it has very good hearing</td>

    </table>


    Realizing that the forest is full of beasts for the first time in his life Ren is anxious.. It''s to be expected since he never killed or even hit anything in his life and now he is forced to fight and become stronger so he can survive.Thinking about all that Ren decides that it''s better to be more careful and he goes back into the wooden cabin and sits on his bed while calling the shop fuction to eat something.

    Ren opens his space bag and starts pouring out all the time onto his bed while grabbing the bread and he starts eating.. He would occasionally study the qi gathering pill as well as the body powder.. From the shop info it seems that the qi gathering pill helps the user gather the qi in the distance of 1km onto the user while the body powder is a crimson colour powder that needs to be in contact with the whole body of the user while bathing to take effect. Thinking all these, he finishes both breads drinks 2 mouthfulls of water and then gets on a meditative stance while holding the pill.. Brimming with confidence he swallows the pill while waiting.. Suddenly he feels the qi all around him rush at him like a hungry monster while he panically tries to relax his mind and starts practising the first level of the heaven devourer technique.. Unbeknowst to him all the qi in the surrounding 5km feels the pressure of his technique and rushes forth to him while he circulates it before delivering in his dantian.With empty mind he continues until he realizes that he cant feel any more qi.. Opening his eyes Ren sees that instead of the morning sun that just went up, time passed and its already past midnight while he was cultivating.. Curious about his results he opens his status to check his progress and what he sees stuns him..

    While thinking about what the system said Ren looks at the body powder with a fervent look, but after thinking it for a while he realizeis that the body powder wont give him a big boost in strength alike the qi gathering pill together with his bloodline.. Making the decision Ren buys 10 water flasks from the shop and goes into the tub at the corner of the room.. After taking off his clothes he fills the tub and scrumps the powder all over his skin before going in the water and running the body cultivation technique..All of a sudden he feels extreme pain and itch but his willpower is also high allowing him to continue to perseve. After 2 hours of feeling his bones and musces break apart and being forcefully fixed the effects start slowing but he continues to cultivate while also running the qi cultivation technique and he gaps as the moment he runs both techniques together he feels his blood boil and his cultivation circulating faster and faster.. Thinking that this is the result of his bloodline he continues until the morning.. Getting out of the tub and stretching Ren can feel the powerful strength of his blood and muscles while his dantian is full of qi. Deciding to wear the clothes with the robe and check outside if the sun is up Ren is checking his status.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road.

    Seeing all these notifications Ren cant help but smile.. Leaving the house and looking at the map Ren sees a red dot away from the others and notices that is a boar not far from him . Unsheathing his sword he gets prepared while running in the direction of the boar. All of a sudden he find a river in front of him and he instictively feels a presence around him.. Turning his head right Ren finds the boar drinking from the river. Preparing to take action he activates Cloud Chess Steps and starts running at the boar with extreme speed. Circulating his qi he coats his sword in it and attacks after his 5th step.The boar insticts go crazy and all of a sudden it realizes someone attacking, without thinking it takes a defensive stance and faces towards Ren.


    Ren doesnt stop as he continues on his 5th step and imediately points the sword at the head of the boar while thrusting his sword.. His sword collides with the boars head but doesnt penetrate it . Ren backs away as he prepares to continue attacking while the boar also takes an offensive stance. Feeling that the boar is ready to attack imediately activates Cloud Chess Steps and prepares to dodge the attack while the boar runs at him.. Dodging 4 attacks continuously Ren decides to attack again. Decreasing the distance with the 5th step Ren goes to the right of the boar putting all his qi unto his sword and attacks the boar''s stomach , managing to wound it.. The boar roars as it feels pain at the cut but Ren doesnt give''s it time as he thrust''s his sword at the boar''s wound dealing fatal damage.


    The boar falls on the ground and starts spasming while Ren imediately cuts it''s head to relieve it from its suffering. This is the first time that Ren hits or kills anything but even then he doesnt feel a thing. He knows that in this world the rules are made from the strong and that showing mercy might backfire.


    Without thinking anything else Ren smiles and sits down in a mediative stance to recover his qi while his listening to the system notifications.
