"Hmm.. wait I''ll go to my parents tell them I''m back and I''ll comeback immediately to guide you to the guild. " Cathy said before she left. After Cathy came back they walked around the city as they walked Cathy recommended some good place in the city somehow Cathy became Marcos tourist guide throughout the city. The adventurers guild was their last destination. Marcos and cathy arrived at the front door of the guild, Marcos entered the door while Cathy followed him behind. As they enter Marcos looked around he saw many adventurer in the hall. It''s noisy inside the hall. They walked to the receptionist. They fall in line after a while it was their turn. "I''m here to register" Marcos said. "Okay wait here sir" The receptionist said before she left. "Oh a kid want to grow up" Marcos turned around and he saw a bearded man. He furrowed his brows.

An ordinary person that doesn''t train his body have 1 strength he can used 1 strength to lift up an object weighting 50-70 kilo. With marcos 5 strength the bearded can''t handle his punch and a few of his ribs broke. When the receptionist came back she was dumbfounded by what''s happening.

She learned to read people based on their facial movement. She just stood beside marcos looking at him after a while she also looked at the sky. **** Cathy helped Marcos find a good inn he will stay in. Marcos was in his room meditating the basic mana gathering. After a few hours he opened his eye''s he lied into the bed and fell asleep. Early in the morning Marcos woke up he sat in his bed and meditate. After finishing his meditation he washed his face and went out of the room and walked to the adventurers guild. He wore a hood to hide his face and he picked a monster slaying quest. He went outside the city as he slay an ordinary beast. After he finished his quest he went back to the inn to eat some food. While on the way he heard Cathy was calling him. "Marcus, are you busy? " Cathy asked. "No, I''m heading back to inn to have lunch, want to come? " Marcos said. "Sure" When Cathy heard his words her eye''s lit up. Marcos and Cathy enter the inn and went to the hall. They sat down at a table and ordered food''s. "So, marcos why are you always wearing a mask" Cathy asked curiously with a sparkling eye''s. ''Oh crap, we''re gonna have a dinner and I need to removed my mask in order to eat'' Marcos panicked a little and he shook his head as he calm down. He broke the mouth part of the mask with his hand and he looked at cathy then smirked. "You... " when Cathy saw this she pouted. "I can eat without having to take off my mask" Marcos said as he shrugged his shoulder. "You''re gonna pay for the bill today" Cathy said. "What? " Marcos income in hunting was little and it''s enough to bought what he need''s daily. But the food cathy ordered was at high prize. Marcos saw cathy eating her food without. He felt helpless. He subconsciously reached out his hand and he pinched Cathy''s cheek. "Ahh! What are you doing when we''re eating?" Cathy said. "Ah, sorry I couldn''t help it" Marcos said and he started eating. It was his first time pinching a girl, in his past last he was a thirty year old virgin. "Ah say, you couldn''t help it, why?" Cathy retorted while her mouth was full of food. "Your just too cute when I saw you eating your food without care" Marcos said that as he kept eating his food. Cathy blushed when she heard marcos word''s. After they finish the food cathy leftand marcos went to his room. A month passed by in the blink of an eye.

Basic mana gathering technique was level 4 he can gather enough mana subconsciously. After he finish his meditation he left the inn. He headed to Cathy''s house. Marcos and Cathy was eating lunch. "Cathy, I will leave this city tomorrow" Marcos said while he looked at Cathy in the eye''s. "What? " Cathy stood up as she heard him. The surrounding people looked at them. Cathy immediately apologize to the people as she calm herself. "So, marcos where are you going? " Cathy asked Marcos. "The capital city Erligia" Marcos replied. "Why? " "I need to increase my strength" "Will you come back" Cathy looked at Marcos in the eye''s. "Of course" Marcos answered. After they ate their lunch Marcos prepare himself. He headed to the adventurer''s guild and he pick up an escort quest where he will escort a merchant to the designated location. Of course he pick an escort quest where it will heading to the capital city it will earn him some money in the process. Marcos returned to the inn. ''I don''t know how can I rank my strength in this world or my power is average in my age or powerful enough.'' Marcos thought and he closed his eye''s to entered his meditation state. Early in the morning Marcos woke up as he do his meditation. After he finish his meditation he went to Cathy to bid his farewell. "You should be careful when you got in the capital city" Cathy looked at him. "Yes I''ll be careful" Marcus said. He don''t know how he felt about Cathy. "This is the lunchbox I prepare for you" Cathy said as she bring out a lunchbox and held it in front of Marcos.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. "Okay I''m going now" Marcos received the lunchbox and he turned around to walked away. Cathy looked at his disappearing figure when his figure can''t be seen she then turned around she left. A figure emerged when Cathy left and it looked at Cathy''s direction. It pulled out a stone and said "madam the boy who young miss Cathy was seeing left the city" "It''s good that he left if he doesn''t leave I will take action before the Zach family knows about this" The woman on the other side left. The woman out down the stone and she muttered "Cathy you''re already engaged why are you so stubborn just accept you''re fate it''s for you''re own future" Cathy immediately went to her house and she washed her face it revealed a stunning beautiful woman. Her long black hair draped to her shoulder, her jade like skin, her rosy lips, her sharp eyebrows, and her cheeks that revealed a small dimple when she smile. She looked at herself in the mirror and she muttered "marcos" ***** Marcos got in the back of the carriage as he looked at the other adventurer who take this quest. There we''re 6 adventurer here including Marcos. The other five looked like they are a party. "So, young man how about introduced yourself by the way I''m jack" The seemingly like leader of the party introduced himself and then it followed by the other member''s. "I''m marcos" Marcos introduced himself in a simple way. It''s take''s 7 to 9 days when travelling to the city capital. Marcos heard some powerful families, clan or sect have some sort of transportation that doesn''t required horse. The first thing that comes to Marcos mind was car. Car was a transportation that doesn''t required a horse or some living things. He heard it was metal like thing that powered by a stone that does have an energy to run it. Marcos was sure that it was a car that powered by a mana or world energy. ''If this world has technology but was powered by mana then why don''t I see any of that I''m in this world for half a year" Marcos thought. ''Maybe this was still a country side'' "Stop" Marcos and co. heard loud voice outside. Marcos peeked through he saw a bandit''s surrounding the carriage. Marcos and co got outside and looked towards the bandit''s. "Leave the carriage and we will spare you''re lives" The leader of the bandit''s shouted. Jack the leader of the party dashed towards the bandit''s without any warning and he slashed his sword. Spurt!!! Blood spurted to the throat of the bandit jack turned around and shouted "kill" The other member also engaged in combat in the bandit''s. Marcos looked around he saw all of the adventurer''s are fighting and he also run to the nearest bandit and slashed his sword. ''That''s my first kill'' Marcos smirked. Marcos was just an inexperienced person when he comes to this world. In his former world he doesn''t even know how to kill and he haven''t seen a person died in front of him but after the incident in the village his mental state changed after that he become ruthless to the person who has I''ll intention towards him. This world is not like his former world. In this world when you are weak you will become prey to the other. There''s no rule''s in this world rule''s is for the weak and the strong one''s can break the rule''s. When you are strong enough nobody can defy you. The weak revered the strong and the strong look down on the weak like they are ant''s. Marcos saw a bandit''s charging at him. He blocked the bandit''s sword with his sword he spun around and give the bandit a kick while slashing his sword. ''That''s two'' Marcos charge toward the other bandit''s. After a while the bandit''s was all dead and they buried their bodies to respect them. Chapter six After a week of travelling they finally arrived at the capital city. Marcos went out to find a good inn. He stay in the inn and he meditate. He went out at night to gather an information in this world. There''s not even a shadow if a magus here how come there''s an academy here that teaches how to become magus. He felt that the information he received was unreliable. The academy was the reason he came here to Erligia. He learn about some group of people called Crimson sky pavilion they are the leader of the underground here in Erligia. Sooner or later they will meet and marcos new this as he prepared himself to work underground. Marcos also learned that there will be an auction here 5 days from now. As Marcos new he will need money in the coming auction he will finish many quest in the adventurer''s guild within 5 days. Marcos went to the adventurer''s guild and he picked up a few slaying quest and he went out again. After a whole day completing his quest he finished his quest when the sky was already dark. He went to where he stay in and meditate before going to sleep. After Marcos woke up he start his day by meditating. Marcos new the importance of intelligence it can handle a huge amount of information when learning a new skill. When the intelligence was too low and you tried to learn a many skill your brain can''t handle too much stressed and it will explode. Five day''s have passed the auction will be held today. Marcos managed to accumulated decent amount of money but he knew this was not enough. Marcos looked at his stats.

"What do I need to do to enter" Marcos asked the guard.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. "If you don''t have our auction card you can pay 1 gold coin to enter" The guard replied. "Okay" Marcos flicked a gold coin towards the guard and he entered the door. He immediately found a sit as he arranged his mask and lowered his hood. When the middle aged man entered the stage the scene immediately got quiet. He coughed and said, "Welcome everyone to the Starry Sky Auction House. I''ll be the one prescribing this auction. " "This time, were going to auction 60 items off. Please bring the first item. " A woman came to stage and was holding something that was covered by red cloth. The woman remove the cloth showing the item to the audience. "Our first item is a pill. The pill name is Energy increasing pill. It is a pill that can increase your energy if you are martial art''s practitioner.

He shouted, "6 gold coins" "I bid 7 gold coins" another voice sounded. When marcos heard this he frowned. ''As expected I need to bought this in a high price'' "I bid 10 gold coins for this pill" Marcos shouted. "Anyone bidding higher than 10 gold coins, bid going once... bid going twice sold to that person. " Marcos was bleeding in his heart. He has only 34 gold coins and now it decrease by 10 and it was the first item. The second item was a sword. The sword was sold for 15 gold coins. And the auction continued. Many item''s got Marcos interest but he new that he can''t bought anything with his money. And the last item was brought out. "This our last item for the auction.

Starting bid is at 20 gold coins and any increment should not be lower than 5 gold coins." "Heh! the breathing technique of the legend" Marcos was shocked when he saw this. It''s like his basic energy gathering technique. Marcos want to have this skill but he have no money to bid. "I bid 25 gold coins" a voice sounded. "25 gold coins is to little, I bid 30 gold coins." " I bid 35 gold coins" "40 gold coins" "50 gold coins" "60 gold coins" "I want this martial art''s I bid 1 platinum coins." A voice sounded. The people looked where the voice came from. Marcos also looked at the person. He saw a middle aged man in a red robe. He used his analyze. [Name?? State:Master peak level] ''What is Master peak level? It seems this old man is strong enough to crush me'' Marcos thought as he tried to calm himself this is the first time he met a person that was powerful since coming to this world. "What did you say? " "That''s an elder of the Crimson sky pavilion, elder Ban" Marcos heard what the people around him talking about. ''It seems he was an elder in the Crimson sky pavilion, I wonder how many experts are there in the pavilion'' Marcos thought inwardly. The auction ended as the elder of the Crimson Sky Pavilion won the last item. Marcos stood up and he disappeared from the crowd. Chapter seven Marcos returned to inn as the auction was finish. He was sitting crossed leg in his room. He brought out the energy increasing pill and he ate it. He felt warm sensation coming from his throat. *Ding* [Does host wish to absorb the world energy?Yes/No? ] ''Huh? the system can help me absorb the world energy in the pill'' Marcos thought as he was shocked that the system can really helpful when the time comes. "Yes" [Absorbing the World energy to host body.... ] 1%.. 8%... 25%... 50%... 74%... 90%... 98%... 99%.... 100% *Ding* [Absorbing complete] Marcos looked at his body he felt different from before. He looked at his stats.

It gives 0. 5 increase in stats in strength, agility and vitality'' Marcus thought as he felt satisfied in increased in his stats. ''I unlocked the skill shop for the martial artist or Fighter''s is this because I embark the path of Fighter'' Marcos thought. Marcos remembered something and he asked the system, "system am i in the same dimension from my previous world or this is different dimension" [Permission to access host memory] "Okay you can access my memory" Marcos said nonchalantly as he need to know the answer. [Accessing host memory.... ] [Host, your former world is in the same universe, does host want to know your former world''s coordinates? ] "What? so, I can returned to my own world if I can build another Transportational Gate. " Marcos exclaimed excitedly as he know that he can returned to his former world.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. [Host, The system has Dimensional Travelling Scroll for 5, 000 points] "What? " Marcos was dumbfounded by the system''s answer. He can returned to his former world with the help of the system. He looked at his shop and looked at the item''s after a while he found the Dimensional travelling scroll. [Dimensional Travelling Scroll: Used for travelling to other realm''s. One time use|5, 000 point''s] ''Sigh.. This system has many useful item''s I will prepare a time to check my system'' Marcos sighed as his system has many useful item''s. He can''t contain his excitement after he know that he can go back to his world. "Sophia I will comeback, hehehe" Marcos murmured. He then heard the system. *Ding* [Base on the coordinates and the information the system gathered from host memory, host former world is one of the powerful world of it''s realm. The name of your world is Gaia this world only contains human race. Gaia has defended the onslaught the of the abyss race for hundred thousands of year''s. ] "What? " Marcos was shocked by the sudden information he received from the system. He''s former world has a powerful existence did they know how to cultivate a magus or a fighter, did they have a magus? But he did not know. He was a great researcher in the past and many of his project did not revealed in public. And his greatest project was the Transportational Gate. What is this abyss race that tried to invade our world. "System what is this abyss race? " Marcos asked the system. [Abyss race come from the Abyss realm, it is race that has it''s own realm it has a powerful physics and power''s they have many experts at god level. They dominated many world and realm. They think they are born superior to other race''s for them other races are born to become thier slave''s. They are proud and arrogant race they think they are the owner of this universe. ] "Abyss realm? God level? " [God level existence can kill host with a flick of it''s finger, host can die of suffocation with it''s god level aura. Even if thousands of host, host can die easily. God level is a peak existence in this universe. ] "So powerful... God level" Marcos murmured. "And my former world can defend on it''s onslaught for hundred thousands of year''s, I can''t imagine how Gaia defend, did it really have a powerful existence? " "Sigh... It seems I need to go back when my power is enough" Marcos sighed. "System I remembered back then you said I was the owner of this universe" Marcos asked. [Yes, host is the owner of this universe as host was the first person came in the center of the universe. No one knows where the center of the universe located but host accidentally entered the center of the universe even the most powerful god level existence doesn''t even know where it was located. Host cannot control this universe as host is still too weak but when host have enough power host can go back to the center of the universe to absorb the remaining universe energy and completed the contract to fully became the owner of the universe] ''What? Become the owner of the universe it''s like a god'' Marcos was dumbfounded as the system said he was the owner of the universe. He tried to calm himself down after a while he calm down and asked, "system is there other place that have the universe energy? " [Host the center of the universe is the only place that has the universe energy, but don''t worry when host spirit body possessed his currently corporeal body. Host leak some of the universe energy and it remain in a few planet. Host can gather those universe energy it can increase host strength. ] Marcos thought for a while and he asked the system, "system how did I received that wound before I transported? " [Host wound''s came from a high energy beam it''s heat is 1000 degree celsius] ''As expected, when I woke up in the white place I felt an intense heat in my wound back then. I''m sure now that world has some sort of power and sophia is one of those powerful human'' Marcos thought. Chapter eight Marcus went to the adventurers guild early in the morning to the slaying quest. Marcos was walking in the forest searching for his prey. He noticed a carriage being attack. The attacker doesn''t seem to be a bandit''s because the attacker wore full plate silver armor. ''It seems troublesome I need to leave now I prefer being a low profile'' Marcos thought. Actually marcos doesn''t mind being high profile but he was too weak now he didn''t want to garnered attention that''s why he always wore a mask. Marcos was about to leave as he turned around. He suddenly step in to a branch of tree. A crackling sound sounded. The attacker immediately looked at where the sound came from. ''Oh crap'' Marcos thought as he slowly turned his head to looked behind. Marcos said, "I didn''t saw anything" after he said that he turned around to run. The seemingly leader of the attacker shouted, "Chase after him don''t let any witness leave" The attacker immediately chased after mercos when they heard their leader. Marcos stopped running and he turned around to face the attacker. "Sigh.. I don''t want a troublesome matter''s but since you all want me dead I''ll just finish this" Marcos released his killing intent as he said those word. The attacker''s looked at Marcos as they brandished their sword''s. Marcos looked at the people in front of him as he used analyze. [Name?? State:warrior initial stage] [Name?? State:warrior late stage] [Name?? State:warrior intermediate stage] ''What the hell is this warrior level'' Marcos exclaimed in his heart. ''Is this warrior level is a higher level of practitioner'' "Ahhh" The person who is initial stage dashed to marcos and he slashed his sword. "Clang! " Marcos pulled his sword on his waist and blocked the incoming attack. The other two also dashed to marcos as they want to kill him immediately.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. Clang! Clang! Clang! The three people kept attacking marcos while marcos was defending with all his might. He received many sword cut blood drip from his shirt. His hand became numb from continues receiving their attacks. Marcos fused his mana in his sword and he slashed his sword in his front. The late stage person saw this and he raised his sword to block. When marcos sword hit his sword his sword was immediately broke into pieces. He was shocked when he saw his sword broke. He could only stare at the sword that was coming towards him. Head drop onto the ground and blood spurted out like a fountain. The two person immediately stop when they saw their comrade died. Marcos saw the two person was in dazed he immediately take this opportunity to kill them. Marcos waved his hands as two fireballs shot out. When the two saw the incoming fireball they snapped out of their daze they tried to defend themself but it''s already too late. The two fireball hit their head as it exploded. The two flew a few meters before rolling to the ground.The other one who is initial stage was dead while the other one who is stronger can barely moved his body. ''The fireball is a high grade tier 1 spell and it can directly killed a warrior in initial stage and can barely kill an intermediate stage. My fireball is already level 3 if level it up to max how strong it will become and how strong a tier 2 spell. In system tier 2 spell prize is 200 points which is I can barely afford it and if I bought it my mana is too low to cast it how many mana does it cost when I cast it'' Marcos thought as he walked towards the person that is still alive. He lowered his sword. He tried to looked at marcos who is walking towards him. "Ma.. Magus" he tried to speak but the next thing happened his head was rolling on the ground. Marcos chopped his head off and he returned his sword to it''s sheath. *Ding* [Congratulation for first time killing an existence one rank higher than host] [Reward:50 exp and 50 point''s] Marcos looked at his stats.

It''s good that I bought the mana manipulation skill''s or else.. '' Marcos shook his head he felt he was still too weak. Marcos was exhausted after the fight. His mana was depleted after he used two fireballs. The fireball cost 2 mana each cast as marcos mana is 7. 5 he can only cast 3 fireball. He need time for his mana to recovered. Marcos walked to the dead bodies and searched them. He found a few gold coin''s in them and he keep it. That was his battle loot. Marcos walked to the direction where the attacker was his look now was cold and indifferent with a faint of killing intent. "You dare to give order to kill me prepare yourself to be killed by me my exp points" Marcos laughed coldly. Marcos arrived there he saw the leader was fighting a butler. He used his analyze to the leader. [Name?? State:Knight initial stage] ''Knight? Knight was stronger than Warrior, then what about Master? '' Marcos thought as he slightly understand the power level of the Fighter. Practitioner is the first level, warrior is the second, knight is the third, and then master. He didn''t know if there''s a level between knight and master. There''s a four stage per level and that''s initial, intermediate, late, and peak stage. He didn''t know how strong the Master level was but since it can occupy an elder position in Crimson sky pavilion it should powerful. Fighter is very common in this world and magus is very rare. Marcos think magus was the secret weapon of the kingdom. Chapter nine Marcos was watching the battle between the leader and the butler. Marcos was shocked when he found out that the butler is a Knight level expert. "Dian, don''t resist just surrender us the young miss" The leader said. "Ben, I will protect the young miss I won''t surrender her to the likes of you" The butler called Dian said. "If you side with us you will be able to see tomorrow, perhaps you will be given a position the same as mine as your at Initial stage of Knight" The leader Ben said. "Dian, it''s okay just leave so.. " a crying voice was heard inside the carriage. "No, young miss I already promised that I will protect you" Dian said decisively. Marcos heard their conversation. ''So, it''s like a internal conflict in their clan or family'' Marcos thought and he looked at the guards of the young miss. ''They were exhausted and they''re outnumbered 5 guards and 7 enemy the other''s were lying on the ground lifelessly. I need to ambush the enemy I need to atleast kill 2 or 3 enemy'' Marcos assessed the situation. "Men! Catch the young miss alive" Leader Ben shouted. "Yes, sir" the subordinates nodded. The guards stand on guard preparing to defend against the attack. The subordinate''s of the leader dashed towards the guards. But suddenly the of one attacker flew to the ground. "Dang!! " The body fell on the ground lifelessly. The entire scene was silent. The butler and the leader looked at the one who attack. He was wearing a mask and his clothes was full of blood dripping to the ground. He is Marcos. Marcos saw that all of them was in dazed. He take this opportunity and dashed towards the other one. The person saw marcos was coming at him he tried to raised his sword to defend but it''s already too late his head has been chopped off to the body and it''s rolling to the ground. The young miss stared at Marcos and she recognized him the one who run before and has been chased. The attacker stand on guard in case marcos attack again.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. "You... You.. " The leader Ben pointed at Marcos angrily. "Hay, hay, you what? You''re the one who wants me dead first, I already said that I didn''t saw anything and you still choose to chase after me, I''m only here to retaliate I hate troublesome matter''s but since you''re the one who started it I''m here to finish the business" Marcos said coldly. The Butler Dian said, "thanks friend for helping us, men attack" "I don''t came here to help I came here because they want me dead" Marcos said while he waved his hands. He walked to the dead bodies and he searched their bodies, he found some gold coins and he kept it. Marcos looked at the battle in front of him. The guard we''re being suppressed by the enemy. Clang!! Clang!! The sound of a sword clashing can be heard. Marcos dashed at the enemy. Whoosh!! Another head fall onto the ground. The other enemy saw this. They we''re scared they know that they can''t matched marcos. Fear can be seen in their eye''s. They thought marcos will come in them but they saw marcos dashed towards their leader. The leader Ben saw marcos was running towards him he kick butler Dian and he slashed his sword. Clang!! Marcos and the leader Ben clashed their sword. Marcos continued to slashed his sword in every direction. Marcos used his passive skill Basic sword style lvl3 to the limit he let his instinct decide his every attack he made. Clang! Clang! Clang! The leader Ben blocked every attack. The butler Dian saw this he gritted his teeth and he dashed to Ben. "You, young man why are you doing this we have no enmity towards each other" The leader Ben said to Marcis as he was being pressured by the two. "You, why did you order to chased after me and tried to kill me we have no enmity towards each other" Marcos laughed slightly as he replied. "You.. " The leader was speechless by Marcos reply. "Do you think you can casually order people to kill? If you let me leave before do you think this will happen?" Marcos smirked and he imbued his mana to his sword. They clashed a few times before the leader Ben sword broke. Dian thrust his sword to Ben''s chest. "Ahh" The sword pierced Ben''s chest. Marcos saw this he held Ben''s head he slashed his sword to chopped his head. ''I will be the one the who will kill him because he''s my exp'' Marcos thought. Blood spurted out from Ben''s neck. He turned around to the other battle he saw there we''re 3 enemies alive. He dashed towards them with an intention to kill. "Hehehe my exp" Marcos laughed as the three head fall to the ground. With the enemy was dead all people looked at Marcos. ''This person must not offend'' they thought in their minds. Marcos looked at them one by one before he stopped at the young miss. This young miss is a very beautiful woman seemingly 18-19 year''s old, her blonde hair drape down like a falls into her waist, that jade like smooth skin was lustering, her rosy red lips that any men want to kiss. Marcos was shocked by the beauty this lady. He saw many beautiful actress back in his former world but this lady in front of him was above. Marcos snapped out of his dazed and he shook his head. Marcos walked towards the body of Ben. He searched his body and he found gold coins and a 3 energy increasing pill. He was shocked by the energy increasing pill just what is the background of this people. Chapter ten Marcos looted all the dead bodies here what he gained here was great but it was risky. He didn''t think he would encounter a situation like this in real life. "Sigh.. " Marcos sighed and he saw the young miss was looking at him. He shook his head and walked away. "Wait!!" The young miss shouted. Marcos turned around as he don''t know what they want. "Where are you planning to go? " The young miss asked. "Maple city" Marcos said plainly and he continued to walked. "Do you want to come with us we''re also going in the city. " The young miss said. "I will give you a reward for helping us" The young miss added. "Oh, what rewards was it?" Marcos got interested in this rewards. He know this young miss was an important person of some big clan or family. "Here take a look" the young miss reached out her hand and revealed a bottle and a scroll. "Young miss that''s.. " Dian couldn''t finish as he was interrupted. "It''s okay Dian, he help us" The young miss said to Dian. Marcos arrived in front of her. He picked the bottle and looked at it. He was shocked in the content of the bottle. There was a bottle full of energy increasing pill about 23 pieces. Marcos calmed down after a while and he pick up the scroll. He opened it and he saw the word''s Dragon Punch. Marcos was onced again shocked this lady gave him a Fighter skill and a bottle of energy increasing pill. Suddenly a sound interrupted Marcos. *Ding* [Detected! An incomplete Cultivator skill Dragon Punch, Host, do you wish to learned Dragon Punch for 20 points? Yes/No?] ''What? So the system can help me learned the skill this way'' Marcos thought that the system was really helpful once again. Marcos put down the scroll and the notification was gone. Marcos looked at the young miss eye''s they stared at each other''s eye for a minute before marcos gave up as he nodded. "Okay, I will accept this and go with you" Marcos said helplessly. After the young miss turned around she blushed her face was burning red. ''Ahh so, embarrassing this is the first time I invite a man'' The young miss thought.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Marcos entered the carriage after the young miss when he entered the carriage he smell a faint aroma that only exist in women inside the carriage. He sat in front of the young miss. He just closed his eye''s and start meditating. ''Just who is he?, what is his name?, what he look like when he removed his mask? '' The young miss thought as she stared at marcos. She want to talked to marcos but he just closed his eye''s as if saying ''I don''t want to talk to anyone'' as she thought of this she pouted, ''am I not beautiful enough for you to ignore'' She was curious in marcos as she subconsciously reached out her hand to his mask. Marcos noticed the young miss reached out her hands to his mask. When he was about to grabbed her hands the carriage shake. Her hands hit his mask and it fell. Clang!! Silence descend inside the carriage. The young miss was looking at marcos as she took a deep breath. Marcos sighed as he shook his head and he picked up his mask. The young miss saw marcos face she was shocked. This man in front of her was so handsome. In the capital many men courted her and she saw many handsome men and young master of some big family or clan. "So, what are you doing?" Marcos asked her as he put his mask on. When she heard his voice she snapped out of his dazed. She immediately lowered her heads as she blushed her face was like a red tomato. "I... I.. " She don''t know what to say. She just reached out her hands out of curiousity. "It''s okay, it''s not your fault" Marcos thought she was afraid. "I.. I''m not! " The young miss said as she turned her head sideways and pouted. "Young miss we''re here" the voice of Dian heard. "Okay, I''m off here, well see you young miss I owe you for this gift, if you need any help in the future I will do my best to help, it''s nice meeting you here young miss" Marcos get off the carriage. "Wait! I don''t know your name" The young miss tried to chase marcos but she saw marcos was nowhere to be found. She looked at direction we''re marcos was gone. She has mixed feeling''s in marcos in the short time they met. **** Marcos was sitting cross legged in his room holding 5 energy increasing pill in his hand. He brought the energy increasing pill into his mouth and he ate it. A gush of energy flow marcos body. *Ding* [Do you wish to absorb the world energy?

Marcos doesn''t need to consolidate his foundation because his foundation was solid to begin with. The system was the one who consolidate his foundation every time he does. Marcos opened his eye''s.

Marcos saw the Lore city which he lived with his sister and their maid Aunty mei. It take''s atleast one month to travel there. **** After one week marcos mana completely recovered. Marcos went in the forest to hunt. While he was searching for his prey he saw a huge mantis. Marcos looked at it as he used his analyze. [Green striped blade mantis State: Rank 3 spirit beast] ''What? A rank 3 spirit beast, is my strength strong enough to contend against it'' Marcos thought. Marcos hid behind the bush as he was waiting for an opportunity to attack the mantis. The mantis was one and a half meter tall, his green and black striped blade was glistening. He pounced the mantis in the back and he brought his sword above his head and slashed it. He separated the mantis head and the body.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. But the mantis even after it''s head was severed. It managed to slashed it''s blade forward and marcos caught off guard by this. Swish! Blood drip in marcos chest. There''s huge cut in his chest. ''Fuck'' Marcos cursed in his mind. Marcos heard a footsteps behind him, turning around he saw three man, one around his age and the other was in their mid twenties. They wore a expensive clothes. "Brat, I''m Hegni Onigawara from the Onigawara clan if you leave the body of that rank 3 spirit beast and I''ll spare your life" The young one called Hegni said. "Hahahahaha" Marcos laughed and said, "Onigawara clan, what''s that? Is that some kind of shit" "You, you dare to say that in front of young master" one of the two guard said. "Young master let''s kill him, he dare to mock the Onigawara clan" The other said. "Kill him" Hegni said. He look down at marcos an ordinary warrior dared to opposed him the young master of the Onigawara clan. Marcos analyzed them before and he saw the power level of the three they we''re just a warrior intermediate and late stages. They we''re not a threat to Marcos with their power. Marcos grip his sword tightly and he slashed his swords to the two guards. Two heads fell onto the ground. Hegni saw this and he instantly feared the young man in front of him. "Don''t, don''t kill me, that''s right my clan will hunt you if you kill me" Hegni begged to marcos as he knew if he acted cocky marcos would kill him. If he live he can just torture marcos after the clan hunt marcos. Marcos felt a killing intent locked onto him. He knew that this person was the true guard of this young master not the two weaklings earlier. He immediately pierced his sword towards the young master chest aiming at his heart. "Courting death! " The old man in the shadow sneered. He saw marcos moved even when his pressure and killing intent locked into marcos. He instantly left the shadow and dashed to marcos. Marcos pierced the young master heart and he felt an incoming force to his right. The old man threw a punch filled with energy towards marcos. Marcos saw this and he also punch he imbued mana in his punch. Bang!! The two punches clashed. A huge wave of air blew around the two. Marcos flew a few meters before he crashed in the tree. ''So strong'' Marcos exclaimed in his heart. He slowly stood up and he analyze the old man in front, the old man power level was peak stage of Knight. ''So the old man was a peak stage of knight, if the peak stage of knight was this strong then how about the master level'' Marcos thought. Marcos had an advantage because he can used mana in the fight that''s why he can fought a level higher than him. "Cough!.. Cough! " Marcos coughed and he wiped the blood in his mouth. He looked at the old man that was walking towards him. "Young man, what''s with your punch I can clearly felt from you aura you are a initial stage of warrior" the old man said. "Your body was sturdy and it was as strong as a knight, I''m at peak stage of knight I can clearly saw you have a potential to become a master level in the future, perhaps even a grandmaster" "You''re a threat to the clan when you became strong in the future, it was better to eliminate you now than become a thorn in the clan" The old man said coldy. Marcos clenched his fist and gathered his mana. The old man dashed as he punch marcos. Bang! Bang! Bang! The two exchanged blow and the sound of shockwave can be heard from their punch. Boom! Marcos crashed into the tree. He coughed a mouthful of blood. The old man walked to marcos. He saw marcos lifting his hands and then a fireball flew towards him. He was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the fireball. The fireball hit the oldman chest. Blood drip from his mouth as he saw marcos stood up and cast another fireball. He punched the fireball. Boom!! The old man felt his fist burning from the heat. He felt shocked that marcos was a magus. Magus was a rare existence and only a few can be found in their kingdom. The magus held a extreme prestige in a kingdom, they are the kingdom''s secret weapon. The man in front of him was young and he clearly does not have a high authority but he knew a few magus take disciple. The magus teaches their disciple their accumulated knowledge and if the magus knew they harmed their disciple. They would go rampage in the kingdom. Perhaps, this young man in front of him was a disciple of a magus. The old man was not afraid of a single magus because their clan have a long history and they have a powerful experts in their clan. It is not the first time their clan killed a magus but to kill an old monster magus they have to pay a huge price. They lost many master level and a few grandmaster level. It''s better to kill this young magus in front of him and leave no evidence. Marcos clearly felt that the old man in front of him want to kill him no matter what. "Kill" the old man punched marcos. The old man''s fist hit marcos chest. Marcos felt his mouth was full of blood. He held tight the old man''s arm. He cast the fireball in his palm while he held the old man''s arm. "Ahhhh" The old man groan in pain as he felt his arm was burning. He punched marcos using his free hand. Marcos crouched as he dodge the fist by a hair''s length. He focus his energy in his fist. He was using his strongest skill the Dragon Punch. He used his full force to punched the old man. "Dragon Punch" Marcos roared as he executed the skill. The old man punched again. Marcos fist collided with old man''s. The Dragon Punch broke the old man''s fist and it headed straight to his chest. Marcos moved his fist downward as he smashed the old man to the ground. Boom! The ground shake and his fist left a crater in the ground with the old man''s body in the center. Chapter twelve Marcos was walked deep inside the forest. He found a cave and went inside he was too exhausted in the battle. He fell down into the ground. He opened his eye''s. He scanned his surroundings and his body. He sighed his injuries was severe, a few of his ribs we''re broke and his right arm he can''t move it. It was the effect of the Dragon punch his body was too weak too used the skill Dragon punch. He opened his backpack and he found the energy increasing pill he looted in the old man and the rest. ''Even a rank 1 beast can easily kill me in my condition'' Marcos thought. He picked the energy increasing pill and absorbed it. ''System, how long can I reached the god level in my current pace? Marcos asked the system as he want to get stronger as soon as possible. [Calculating.... Host need''s 6, 849, 261 years to reach the god level] ''Crap, I already died in old age before I reach the god level'' Marcos thought. He was disheartened at the thought of how long he can reached the god level but when he thought he has the system he can reached the god level a faster rate with the help of the system I can definitely reached the god. Marcos looked at his skill. Skill:basic mana gathering lvl4, stone body lvl4, basic sword style lvl3, basic hand to hand combat style lvl3, fireball lvl3, analyze lvl1, basic energy gathering lvl3, mana manipulation skill lvl1, mana regeneration skill lvl3, dragon punch lvl1 Marcos spent 310 exp in basic mana gathering, fireball, basic energy gathering and mana regeneration to level up and he bought a skill basic energy gathering skill. Marcos looked at his stats.

Marcos opened the map he obtained in the city. He looked at the where the lore city he needed to go back there to find his little sister but he needed to become powerful enough to protect his little sister. He needed to increased his point''s and exp to bought a powerful skill and level up his current skill. Everyday marcos hunt a rank 1 and rank 2 beast. His points and exp kept increasing everday. A month have passed and he was fully recovered and he started to kill a rank 3 beast. Another month have passed his clothes was tottered and his hair was messy all this time he kept killing and killing without care. He was now a peak stage of warrior level and stage 7 mana gathering. He level up his stone body skill to level 10, his body defense can withstand a full force attack of rank 3 beast without using mana or energy to defend. He also level up all of his skill to level 7 except for the Dragon punch. Dragon punch was still level 1 if he level up his Dragon punch his body can''t withstand the force of a dragon and he will suffer a backslash liked last time he used it that''s why he level up his stone body to 10 to make his body sturdy like a stone.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Marcos now can kill a rank 4 beast and can contend a ordinary rank 5 beast that has no core. If a beast reached rank 5 they can form a core inside their body it can increased their combat capability by a higher level it also help them advanced to a rank 6 beast. If a beast can''t form the core they can only live a rank 5 beast in their lifetime. A beast with a core was extremely terrifying it can easily crushed marcos to death with a single blow, it can produced a powerful energy they used it for attacking and defending. The beast with a core can produced a supernatural power like magus and fighter. Once marcos saw a beast that killed a pack of rank 5 beast. The beast imbued it''s energy in it''s claw and smashed it in the packed. The claw produced a claw like wave and it immediately killed the rank 5 beast. When marcos saw this he felt terrified lucky he didn''t encountered the beast in the past month he was in the forest. Marcos looked at his stats.

He heard a noise from behind and he turned around to looked where the noise came from. Marcos was in the top of the tree he looked at his surrounding and he saw a group of people wearing a red robe. He used analyze on them. [Name?? Age:74 Race:human State:initial stage master level World Energy:90] When marcos level up his analyze it increased the information he can see. Marcos saw a master level among the group it seems he was the leader of the group. The other''s were a knight level this was a strong lineup. Marcos saw that they are from the Onigawara clan. ''Fuck, it seems the young man I killed a few month''s ago have a high status in the clan'' Marcos cursed. The group consisted of ten people, the leader at master level, three we''re peak stage of knight, and the other six we''re intermediate stage of knight. ''They are determined to find me'' Marcos thought as he sneakily followed the group. He saw other two knights separated from the group. ''You all want to kill me, then prepared to face the consequences'' Marcos smile evilly. Marcos didn''t follow the main group instead he followed the two who separated. He plan to kill them all, but since their line up was too strong in the current marcos. He can only kill them one by one. When they were far enough he prepared to attack the two. Marcos circulated his mana in his body. He dashed forward and he picked the two in an instant. The two flew before crashing in the tree. Marcos followed up as he dashed to the other one. The two knights felt shocked as they didn''t anticipated that someone would ambushed them. The knight coughed a few before a noticed a shadow in front of him. He can''t notice his appearance as there were dust when the dust was gone he saw a man wearing a mask. Marcos focus his mana on his foot and he stepped hard at the knights chest. The knight struggle for a while before he died. Marcos turned around and saw the other knight stood up and pulled his sword. Marcos dashed forward and he punch. The knight slashed his sword. Boom!! Marcos punch and the Knight''s sword collided. The knight take a few stepback he felt shocked by marcos fist it was hard it''s like he hit a stone. He slashed his sword a few times before marcos caught his sword. Marcos caught the Knight''s sword with his hands. He smirked before he crushed the sword. Marcos reached out his hands and he caught the knight in the neck. He lifted him in the air as he asked, "why are you here? " "We''re here to investigate who killed the young master hegni" The knight answered in a trembling voice. ''As I thought'' Marcos thought. Crack!! Marcos snapped the Knight''s neck. He searched thier bodies before he left.
