《Supreme Attainment》 Prologue (Transmigration to a new world) It is the year 2050 on Earth and after many years of work and the combined effort of all nations the first humans will set off to live in space. The Earth has become almost inhospitable due to natural disasters, global warming, and countless wars. Lucky in another star system the world Dimidium has been found and it had Earth-like qualities that could hold human life. It''s is an unexploited virgin planet that would be able to sustain the parasite like human species. Before they could go to their new world they need to send test launches to the planet. But, Who would do such dangerous work? As one of the test participants Kade listened nervously as the director talked. He was currently at the International Space Program headquarters. Director Adams detailed the mission. "The mission will be closely monitored and will be aborted if it puts any of your lives in danger," he said routinely. Kade looked at the 3 other participants and they all wearily knew the Director was just saying this as a formality. "The rewards for completing the mission is 10 million dollars and being credited as heroes of mankind for your brave endeavor."This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Kade''s face beamed ah he thought of the reward. He would finally be able to escape his poverty that troubled him since he was an orphan. His daydreaming of being rich and powerful was interrupted when he was handed a contract. Ignoring the part about ISP not being responsible for his death he gladly signed the contract. "Great you will depart to Dimidium in 2 hours" Directors Adams stated. "I thought we were leaving the planet in two months," Kade asked dispiritedly. "Earth has become increasingly inhospitable, the higher-ups have told us to begin test launches so get ready and go to the launch site." Director Adams promptly walked away and Kade was left shocked. But, he couldn''t back out know as his reward was at stake and more importantly he already signed the contract. The participants went to the launch site and they begin ritually completing the procedures they were thought. They boarded the most advanced rocket ship ever created on Earth the Hope 1, marveling at the beautifully designed ship the participants got ready and strapped up. "This is ISP, Hope 1 be prepared to take off in 5...4...3...2...1" as the operator''s voice faded the rocket ship quickly propelled to space. After sitting for 5 minutes the ships emergency alarm begin to ring. Kade and the others had terrified expressions, as they got up to asses the situation there was a BOOM! As the space around them contorted, Kade felt an unimaginable pain as his soul was distorted. He weakly closed his eyes and his consciousness drifted away. New World As Kade opened his eyes he was greeted with a soul splitting headache. He got up and looked at his surrounding. He was in a carriage with three dead bodies and was in chains. ''Wasn''t I just in the spaceship? What happened, why am I not dead?'' As he contemplated his situation he tried calling out to his Soul chip. But there was no response before he could think of anything else a barrage of information flooded his brain. He now currently inhabited the body of another Kade in this world. He and his 3 friends were kidnapped from their village by a powerful heretic woman and have been traveling for 5 days. With inhumane conditions, the former Kade and his friends were dying. And it seems his former colleagues seemed to not have made the transmigration as their new bodies are dead in the carriage. This world is not like earth, it is dominated Adepts who have mystical and frightening powers like in earth wuxia novels he frequently read. In his current situation, he was even more dispirited. This worlds Kade couldn''t become a wizard! He was tested by Feynan the local adept clan and was found not to have a high spiritual talent or affinity. Worst of all he was probably kidnapped to be experimented upon as was frequent in this brutal world. As Kade was contemplating suicide the carriage abruptly stopped and a person opened the door. "What the hell three died! Adept Marvin will kill me!" a feminine voice shouted as the light beamed into the carriage. Kade remembered the dark power she used to subdue them. She must be one of those adepts he thought. The girl went over and pulled Kade out of the carriage with his chain on and he was greeted with an unsightly swamp and a makeshift wooden house a couple meters away from him. A hooded figure came out of the house and stood still. The girl''s body stiffened as she lost her careless attitude. "A¡­ Adept Marvin," she said nervously "I have brought the experimental subjects, but only one has survived the journey". "You wretched¡­." Adept Marvin sighed "Bring him to my lab and since you are my only aide I will spare you but don''t forget of your status you lowly intermediate adept apprentice" he stated as he went back into the house. The girl exhaled and started dragging Kade to the house. Kade was shocked and envious to find out the girls shocking display of power was only at the apprentice level. Adept Marvin must have godly powers that could destroy me in a second he thought. As he wondered about adepts he came to a terrifying realization. The girl just said that he was an experimental subject, his worst fears have come true. As he weakly struggled to escape the girl dragged him into a room. He looked around and saw an operating table, pentagram, potions and countless books. "Leave immediately" Adept Marvin harshly told the girl. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. She closed the door behind her and the room was filled with silence "She told me your name was Kade." he continued without waiting for my answer. "By now you must have realized that you are an experimental subject. I will let you free of your chains, I imagine you are aware of my powers. If you try to escape you will experience a fate worse than death." He let me go and I rigidly stood still afraid to make the slightest move. "Good, you know your place," he said delightedly " I will explain the experiment to you since you have cooperated. I am a water elemental adept and I have fortunately come across the bloodline of Nagas. Nagas are humanoid creatures from the Oceanic plane who have high spirit, water affinity, and strength. I stole this bloodline from the Antaboga clan who have many water affinity adepts among their core members." Kade was shocked and didn''t even know what to say. He finally uttered "So you want to test this bloodline on me" "Correct. I will give you the bloodline and once I have deemed it safe and removed Antabogas influence I will transplant it to me. You will stay in the array pentagram. We will begin." Before Kade could protest water chains has formed at adept Marvins hands and it dragged him to the center of the pentagram. He peers over Kade and waves his hands, water seeps into Kade''s mouth and he felt his lungs burning. The sensation was short but painful. "Your soul is heavily injured" Adept Marvin said with a questioning look. "I am curious to why it''s so injured since you are a mortal." He went to the side of the room and took out an azure potion. He put it in a bowl and added god knows what to it. "Drink this Bilgewater. It has soul healing properties and also increases your spirit, a lot of apprentices would kill to have this." Kade hurriedly drank the potion and immediately felt a refreshing energy in the depths of his body and soul. Adept Marvin had a satisfied look and ushered him to lay in the pentagram. His water chained him again as he took out a blue colored bottle the array pentagram lit up. He took out the blue substance and it magically floated above his hands as it condensed into a ball. Without warning, he smashed it toward my Kades heart and he let out a shrill scream. Kade felt his blood melting and he was rapidly overheating he struggled to move but the chains griped him harder. Adept Marvin controlled water to surround Kade and he felt his body cooling down. ''Soul chip activated'' Kade almost gasped due to shock. ''Soul chip standby for know'' he inwardly said. "The operation seems to be successful" adept Marvin excitedly said, "Have you been tested to have an elemental affinity and what was your spirit talent." "No, I was tested by the Feynan clan but I have no affinity and my talent was two." Kade embarrassedly said. "Ok wait" Adept Marvin abruptly stood up and went to the other side of the room. He reached into a chest and took out a clear glass ball. "Put your hand on this spiritual tester, I will test you again." ''Here goes nothing'' Kade sighed as he thought to himself. As he reached toward the ball there was a miraculously blue light and adept Marvin yelled in excitement. "Your spirit talent is now 12 which means you have potential and your elemental affinity has turned to water. The Naga blood has completely changed you, imagine what it would do for me" adept Marvin cruelly laughed which made Kade turn slightly fearful. "Go outside and Vanessa will take you to your room I will talk to you tomorrow." Kade quickly got up and left the room. He assumed Vanessa was the girl who brought him here. After a few minutes, Vanessa opened a door and walked to him. "Follow me and don''t touch anything along the way or it will be your head." Vanessa menacingly said. ''Oh please you were just cowering before adept Marvin, before him you are nothing!'' Kade thought as he Vanessa led him to his room. It was a modest room that had one bed, a desk, and some books. He shut the door and immediately called for the soul chip. ''Soul chip display my information'' he said. ''Yes, Kade'' it responded. Kade Species (Human/Naga?) Strength: 12 Constitution: 17 Agility: 2 Spirit: 25 Elemental Affinity: Water Since 1 was the normal attribute amount for a human this means that Kade has more than 12 times the normal strength of a human, 17 times the constitution, 2 times the agility, and 25 times the spirit. '' This bloodline has turned me from a mortal into a half human. But at least I''m getting stronger'' Kade thought. Being totality exhausted from the bloodline ritual Kade falls into his bed and is immediately unconscious. Water Manipulation Kade is awakened by a banging sound on his door. He lazily stands up and his legs feel like noodles. He opens the curtains and then slowly walks to open the door. "Come with me immediately, adept Marvin is waiting" Vanessa sharply said without a greeting. Kade ignores her rudeness and walked behind her. She leads him through a series of unfamiliar rooms that somehow led him to adept Marvins study room, where he was furiously writing something on a parchment. "Ah Kade, come sit" Adept Marvin swiftly said and on cue, Vanessa hurriedly left the room. "Today I will introduce the Naga bloodline to the water element so it is assimilated into my body easier when I transplant it." "So you will be teaching me magic?" Kade excitedly asked. "What is magic, I will be teaching you the theory and some application of the laws of water." Adept Marvin said with a condescending attitude. ''Seems like magic abilities are not called magic in this world. Nonetheless, hopefully, adept Marvin teaches me water abilities to protect myself'' Kade nervously thought. "Now I will teach you about elemental adepts. Elemental laws come from the Adept planes will, as we get stronger the plane also gets stronger forming a symbiotic relationship. There are different basic 4 elemental forms which are Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Which branch onto sub-elements. I am a water elemental adept and so will you be until the experiment is over. Elemental magic is not the only type of ability in the Adept plane. Make sure to understand that me and currently you are not bloodline adepts. The bloodline will not turn us into ancient creatures of another plane and when I retake the bloodline I won''t be shackled by it. I have used a forgotten ancient adept ceremony which uses some aspects of a creature bloodline into our own. It cost me my entire fortune." Adept Marvin said with a sense of grief. " But, back to the point, even if the other adept abilities are powerful I believe they are insignificant in face of the elements! But, your still an ant nevertheless in front of those adepts or any for that matter." Adept Marvin said as he wickedly laughed. Kade felt a fire lit inside his body. ''One day¡­ one day I''ll show you who the ant is.'' Adept Marvin contemplated then said, "Sit down on the ground." Fearing he read his mind Kade quickly got up and sat down sweating profusely like a raging storm. As he was about to beg for mercy Adept Marvin snapped at him. "What are you doing? I told you to go into a meditation position." Kade exhaled in relief and did as he was told. "Try to feel the water element around you. Absorbing the water element will increase your spirit." Kade tried to feel this ''water element.'' He sat down but he was starting to get angry after 20 minutes of inaction. "Adept Marvin I don''t feel anything. I''m trying as hard as I can but it seems the water element is not around me." Kade desperately explained. "Fool, all the elements are around us but some are more drawn in than others. Since you have the Naga bloodline the water element should be easily drawn to you compared to others. Calm down, anger is not the nature of water it is of fire. Close your eyes and sink into the waves..." Kade closed his eyes and imagined himself sinking into the boundless ocean. "... And become one with water!" As adept Marvin finished his sentence Kade fell into a semiconscious state. He saw an endless expanse of blue dots flooding into his body. ''Host spirit is rapidly increasing'' said his soul chip. Encouraged Kade madly absorbed the blue dots into his body. His drunken state lasted for close to two hours until adept Marvin awakened him with a splash of stinging water in his face. "Limit absorbing the elements for only two hours a day, after all, we are not elemental creatures. And more importantly, I will not risk Naga bloodline being harmed."If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Kade got up and thought ''Soul chip display my information.'' Kade Species (Human/Naga?) Strength: 12 Constitution: 17 Agility: 2 Spirit 27 Elemental Affinity: Water Kade outwardly smiled as he saw an increase of 2 points to his spirit. "Adept Marvin if you don''t mind me asking what are other ways I could increase my spirit." Kade inquisitively asked. "Other than meditating you could take spirit potions, undergo rituals, and other obscure means. The apprentice stage is the fastest stage that the spirit will increase. Official adepts barely feel an increase in their spirit, I''ve been at rank 1 for 60 years already." Pushing his luck Kade also asked him " Last question adept Marvin, how do I compare to Vanessa." He has wondered this question since that arrogant witch walked him to his room yesterday. After all, she''s the one responsible for her colleagues and the past Kades death. But he couldn''t look at her information using the soul chip, as it wasn''t designed to look at other people''s information because that was a violation of earth''s privacy laws. "Since I have given you the Naga bloodline you have risen to the level of an advanced adept like Vanessa. What has taken her 16 years has taken you only a day. But you are not a match for her as you don''t know any applications of water while she is a runaway apprentice who has control over darkness." Kade was shocked it seems like Vanessa was more powerful than he originally thought. It would seem in order to defeat her he would have to learn how to control the water element and properly become an elemental adept. "Enough questions" Adept Marvin jeered. "Follow me to the library" Kade swiftly followed behind adept Marvin as he went behind his desk. He put his hand on a symbol on the wall and the inscription glowed. Kade gasped in astonishment as the wall split into to allowing them to enter. As Kade walked in the scent of mahogany flooded in his nose. The library was littered with books and scrolls that seemed to have a life of their own. "Kade come here."Adept Marvin ordered, " You can freely choose water element theory books but you are not allowed to choose water element modules! This bloodline is not yours it will be returned to me soon. So you only need to learn water element theory." Adept Marvin strictly said. ''It seems as though adept Marvin doesn''t want me to even have a chance of being powerful. But unluckily for him, I will not submit to him!'' Kade thought to himself. "Choose from this." Adept Marvin pointed at the smallest shelf in his personal library. "And only the top row, The rest are off the shelf and the library is off limits." Kade slowly walked to the shelf under adept Marvin scrutinizing gaze. ''Soul chip can you scan these books.'' ''Yes, but you must flip through them'' As Kade reached forward he choose the first book at the restricted area and quickly flipped through it. " Water Manipulation-Can learn to create shape and manipulate water as one wishes. Advancers manipulators can create anything they desire and as long as they want as long as they have enough spirit. " Kade immediately smiled. This is exactly what he was looking for, a module that can actually teach him not a theory book." As he flipped through the pages he told the Soul chip to scan it. "Scan complete, module stored". As soon as the Soul chips voice faded in his mind adept Marvin yelled "What are you doing! I told you water element theory books only not modules." He waved his hands, then a water hand similar to his own rushed forward snatched the book away and put it back into its position. Then it rapidly turned and started choking Kade. Kade collapsed to the floor and felt his throat give in. "I''m sorry I thought you said the whole shelf!" He said as he gasped for air. "And I didn''t even read it please forgive me." Adept Marvins face twitches in annoyance and then he turns his head. The water hand collapses and Kade quickly gasps for air. "You''re lucky you are my only experimental subject or I would¡­ get out I will tell Vanessa to send you the water theory books." Adept Marvin Moves toward the secret door and it magically opens and Kade swiftly walked into the study room then out the door. Kade came out with an arching smirk. Ignoring the water shaped bruises on his neck that nearly killed him he thinks ''Ha you''ll never suppress me without a fight, the module is mine.'' He walks back to his room after faintly remembering the direction and then sits on his chair. ''Soul chip, analyze the water manipulation module for me and let me see the contents.'' Kade orders. ''Yes, I will begin at once. Progress is .5% two days expected to complete.'' As he waits for the analyzation to complete Kade reads the book for some time until Vanessa comes by to drop off the water theory books. He ignores her antagonizing stare and takes the books. Before he knows it two days have passed. ''Water manipulation module analyzation complete'' the soul chip repeats again. A wave of information flooded his brain, ''Finally'' Kade thought as he got up from his bed. For the past two days, he has been meditating and reading all the water theory books adept Marvin authorized him to have and contemplated his module. He understood 60% of it but since the soul chip analyzation is finished his comprehension has been mostly completed. ''The module says to start meditating as that is the easiest way to gather the water element.'' Kade contemplated, he sat down and started meditating and soon the familiar wave of water element dots swarmed him. ''Then think of water and forme it''. Kade repeated he sat for an hour visualizing water and finally a drop of water formed at the tips of his hands. As he excitedly yelled it collapsed as quickly as it came. ''Ok adept Marvin said the water element is about calmness I can''t let my emotions get to me.'' Kade sat again and tired to form water, soon enough a familiar drop of water formed at his fingertips. 1 month later. Kade is standing in the middle of his room. He puts his hand together and raises them. A ball of water the size of a watermelon forms and he begins to wildly manipulate it. The water separates into individual drops then forms into the length of a snake as he wildly moves it around his body. Exhausted he stops, although he is not at the epitome of water manipulation the module says his level of control isn''t reached after at least a year of consistent work. And for prodigies a few months. He speculates it''s his Naga bloodline that is making him reach this level of manipulation so quickly. Kade water manipulation https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlisting/images/8/80/Korra_water.gif/revision/latest?cb=20171128055528 *Visual if you want to see what Kade''s water manipulation would resemble (copy and paste the link into the address bar and search or search in google images and look at the first gif).* As Kade hears a knock on the door he quickly releases the water and calmly walks to open the door. "Kade adept Marvin wants to see us." Vanessa annoyingly said. ''Hopefully, adept Marvin doesn''t know what I''m doing, If he does it''s the end for me!'' Kade anxiously thought as sweat started dripping from his face. He goes back to his room, puts his cloak on and then shuts the door as he stands behind Vanessa. Bloodline Maturity They start walking toward adept Marvin''s study room. As he arrives, Kade opens the door and Vanessa leaves. Kade walks in and hesitantly stares at adept Marvins contemplating gaze. The atmosphere is ghost-silent. "Kade, I''ve changed my mind and I''m giving you water modules to learn." "I thought I wasn''t allowed learn any modules?" Kade innocently asked. Thinking it''s a trap set up by adept Marvin for him to admit that he knows how to use the water manipulation module, he acts innocent. "Because I''ve realized that it will take to long for the Naga bloodline to mature if you only focus on theory. The Naga bloodline needs stimulation so I''ll be giving you the water manipulation and hydrokinetic combat module which is an extremely rare module that even adepts don''t have access to. " Kade wanted to laugh with joy. His luck was starting to come into effect after he came to this godforsaken world. "Don''t get too excited." Adept Marvin sneered. "In half a year you will be fighting Vanessa to the death. This is the only way I''ve predicted the bloodline to mature enough to use for my body. So it needs to be stimulated by a life or death experience." Kade grimaced " But if I die won''t the bloodline be lost." "Oh, don''t you worry about that. The Naga bloodline is almost mature enough for me to use, a life or death fight will push it just enough. So it really won''t matter if you die. Plus, I could use some entertainment." Adept Marvin burst into a fit of cruel laughter. ''This bitch¡­'' Kade thought. ''Could I even win against Vanessa?'' He shivered as recalls her dark powers that made the past Kades soul feel like he was facing the abyss. "Not all is lost. With the Naga bloodline and the hydrokinetic combat module, I would be surprised if you weren''t at least her match by the battles date. You''ll also be allowed to go around the forest to train and use the first shelf of my library, that will be placed in another room if you want to learn basic modules and information. You''re dismissed, wait don''t try to escape while you''re in the forest unless you want to experience true pain. I have this area under my surveillance." Kade turned away unable to mask his anger, not that adept Marvin would care for the emotions of someone he deems a nonentity. He walks back to his room while thinking about his future development. ''Soul chip do you have any suggestions on my path of development, '' ''Host needs to learn an offensive module and defense module. Since hydrokinetic combat module has been obtained it suits both requirements. But, another defensive module should also be sought out. Recommended going to the library to get the modules and store essential knowledge of this world.'' Thinking of the chips recommendation Kade immediately heads toward the designated room where adept Marvins basic bookshelf will be. As he enters the room he immediately picks out the books that give information about the Adept plane and copies them into his soul chip. It turns out the adept world is one of many planes in the universe. The plane is constantly at war to conquer other planes for resources or anything else that interest the adepts. Kade is especially interested in the oceanic plane where his bloodline originated. It seems the oceanic plane is also powerful as it is not conquered by the adept plane. There are other numerous planes that are a match for the adepts and some that are even more powerful. For another 4 hours Kade stores and familiarize himself with information about the adept plane. After he''s completed he moves on to search for defensive modules to learn. He sees lots of interesting defensive modules but narrows it down to 3 and tells the soul chip to compare them. Water elemental body: The user can transform/reshape their elemental form as desired to adapt to varying situations. Also, improves the water affinity of the user as their body is composed of the water element.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ''Expected time to complete 1-5 years'' ''Decrease spirit expenditure when using the water element. ( Naga bloodline already achieves this)'' ''Immune to most extreme aquatic environments'' Water element shield: The user can create shields of varying shapes and sizes out of water. ''Expected time to complete 2 months-2 years'' ''Extreme defense'' Water exoskeleton: The user can form armor around their body or a shape it from water for protection and physical boost. With training, the user could shape the armor into new forms. ''Expected time to complete 3 months-4 years'' ''Most efficient for personal defense.'' Kade deliberated for a while before he first rules out the water elemental body. His naga bloodline already gives him most bonuses that the water elemental body gives because it is from the oceanic plane. Ultimately he chooses water exoskeleton because he remembered the hydrokinetic combat module incorporates water and physical combat. Even though it took an extremely long time to perfect it there were smaller tiers that could be mastered, unlike the other modules. From the information that adept Marvin told him he read more about the hydrokinetic combat module. He found that adept Marvin wasn''t lying and that it is an extremely rare water adept module that could be used from the apprentice to the adept level. Even adepts could only wish for a module like this. ''It seems like adept Marvin would give me anything in order for the bloodline to be complete for him'' Kade thought with a vicious smile. Hydrokinetic combat: The user is able to utilize water with their physical combat, using it both as weapon and defense, summoning waves to batter their opponents, and also to protect themselves. Or form whips to cut or bind and other forms of water manipulation. ''Prerequisite: Advanced water manipulation user'' ''Expected time to complete: the time it takes for the user to reach the adept levels'' ''Incorporates water offensive and defense with physical combat" ''Mostly up close combat'' Kade also choose the water exoskeleton because hydrokinetic combat already has a water shield like technique to defend oneself and could even be deemed as or more powerful than water shield as it evolved with the user. Satisfied with the modules he has chosen Kade goes to the forest to start practicing hydrokinetic combat. As he arrives at the edge of the forest he looks around, ''Wouldn''t it be easy to escape'' he thought to himself. But, he shivered as he remembered adept Marvins warning about the forest being monitored. He approaches the biggest tree he can find uses as a target for his practice. ''I''m finally learning combat'' Kade thought to himself as he laughed in delighted. He sits down before the tree and asks the chip ''How long will it take to analyze hydrokinetic combat.'' ''The shortest estimate for the basic wave launch chapter of the module is 20 days. Since you have already reached the advanced stage of water manipulation, the gateway to hydrokinetic combat then it should be relatively easy.'' Kade starts reading the contents of hydrokinetic combat because he couldn''t waste time and wait for the soul chip to finish analyzing the chapter. He also needed to have his own comprehension of the module. The module first tells Kade to form a wave of water at least 5 meters long. With his training in water manipulation, he easily summons a 10-meter long wave. Kade has gained 3 more spirit from his continuous meditation bringing him to 30. But it takes 6 spirit to form a water wave leaving him with 24/30 spirit. Kade grimaced as he could only form 5 water waves with 30 spirit. Kade looked at the contents as it told him to slam the water wave at the object. Kade lifted his hands, the water wave floated above him, then he threw his arms forward. As the wave surged forward it smashed against the middle of the tree and a hole the size of a chest was created. Kade opened his mouth in shock at the damage done to the tree. "Once fully completed wouldn''t the hydrokinetic combat module let me annihilate any one of the same rank." Kade excitedly yelled. Kade looked back to the module and continued reading the water wave chapter. This time he looked at the part about the water wave shield. It tells him to summon two water waves and then twist them together to create a shield. Kade forms 2 more water waves since he accidentally released the other wave while in shock of the damage he caused. He slighted raises his hands then swiftly twist the water waves together. But as they are melding together the water waves suddenly disperse letting waves of water pour on Kade. ''Fuck, it seems that I need more practice combining the waves and manipulating them into a shield'' Kade thought. ''But I''ve made good progress today.'' Kade''s spirit is nearly exhausted, so he rests by the battered tree preparing to go back to his room. *Visual if you want to see what Kades fully completed water wave shield would resemble (copy and paste the link into the address bar and search or search in google images and look at the first gif).* https://media.giphy.com/media/cwMRniMkwFLkQ/giphy.gif 50 meters away a water clone resembling adept Marvin stands watching Kade. It watches in amusement as Kade successfully starts the first chapter of hydrokinetic combat. " Seems like I''ll have to give him a challenge soon, he''s developing faster than I expected. The bloodline will need more stimulation to complete at the pace I want it." It mumbled then dispersed into water particles. Bandit Attack (1) Two months later As Kade finishes his daily meditation, he lets out a long yawn and gets up to stretch. His muscles have become more defined by his physical training in the woods. He has risen to the intermediate level in the water tier of the hydrokinetic combat module. He can now form his water waves 50% faster, and his water waves are more coagulated. ''Soul chip how long will it be until I completely finish the wave tier,'' ''Four months - Two years.'' The chip replied. Kade decided to switch his focus to the water exoskeleton module as he couldn''t fully complete the wave tier anytime soon. ''Everything is going good but my spirit.'' Kade gloomily recalled, his spirit increase has stagnated. ''Soul chip show me my information'' Kade Species (Human/Naga?) Elemental Affinity: Water Strength: 13 Constitution: 17 Agility: 2 Spirit: 32.03 Abilities: Advanced water manipulation(Yet to reach perfection) Intermediate hydrokinetic combat( Yet to complete 1 tier) Kade''s spirit has only increased 2.03 from the past two months of meditation and he is becoming slightly irritated from the slow progress. His strength has increased by 1 but his constitution and strength remained the same. Kade wasn''t worried about his constitution because he read that adept level Nagas have terrifying water regeneration talent. He hopes he will obtain the talent when he becomes an adept. But he is worried about his agility because he feels that he was to slow. Kade got up as he remembered adept Marvin told him to met him in the morning. He is always worried that the eccentric adept would suddenly change his mind and harvest the bloodline. His main motivation to get stronger is because he knows he has to defeat adept Marvin if he wants to keep this bloodline and remain in the world of the Adepts. Kade puts on his cloak and heads to adept Marvins study room. This time the door open and Vanessa was waiting inside for the first time. Kade ignored her presence "Adept Marvin, you wanted to see me." Adept Marvin got up and walked toward Kade " Yes, I''ve decided that you need combat experience. So I''m sending you on a mission to kill 5 stone giants and sell their elemental cores in the adept conclave." Kade didn''t believe what he was hearing. "You''re letting me go to the adept conclave" he hesitantly asked. "Yes, but I''ll be leaving spirit mark on you which will let me see what you do and know your location." Adept Marvin said with an extreme emphasis. " Stand still" Kade nervously stood still and looked at adept Marvin with fear in his eyes. Adept Marvin lifts his arm and a sphere of water forms at the base of his palm. The water sphere thrust into Kade''s head and knocks him back.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. His head felt like it''s been split asunder as he fights the urge to scream. Kade slowly stands up and looks at adept Marvin, who seems to be inspecting something. "The spirit mark seems to be working," Adept Marvin said with satisfaction. " You are to leave at noon. Remember, don''t try to run away. I can sense your location with the spirit mark and I will recapture you. Then after I take the Naga bloodline away, I will burn your soul for eternity." Kade was too irritated to be afraid of adept Marvins terrifying threat. He promptly left the room with a head-splitting migraine. ''Soul Chip is there any way to get rid of this spirit mark?'' ''There is currently no way to remove it.'' Kade felt anxious ''If I can''t get rid of this then adept Marvin will know all my secrets.'' The Soul chip replies ''You did not let me finish, I can disrupt the visual detection of the spirit mark and only let adept Marvin see what you want him to see. But, adept Marvin will still be able to access your location.'' Kade felt relieved, he did not have to worry about adept Marvin know his secrets. He only wished that his location couldn''t be monitored or he would have run away during the adept''s assignment. When he got to his room Kade packed his bags and prepared supplies for his journey. He reads the map adept Marvin gave him and sees that it takes two months to get to the conclave from the Ballid swamp. The map also shows that there are five major conclaves in each region of the adept world and countless minor ones. The five regions are the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central. Kade is going to the Eastern major adept conclave, owned by the Starlight clan. An extremely powerful clan who use the laws of space to dominate parts of the East in the Adept plane. He marks the location of the stone giant forest tribe, Stondell. Then heads out his room to leave the wooden house. He walks out the door of the house, turns around and looks at the window of adept Marvins study. Adept Marvin is strangely and intently staring at Kade. Kade inwardly shivers and starts to walk to the forest trail. For the past month, Kade has been traveling in the forest. He has reached the halfway point to the adept conclave. The forest is darkening and he needs to find shelter. He suddenly stops in the forest tracks. Three men with evil smiles approach him. ''They don''t have good intentions'' Kade thought. "What are you doing alone in the forest, little boy?" The bandit in the middle said with ingenuine kindness. "My names Kade, I''m looking for a village to rest at, so I''ll be on my way," Kade said with firmness. "Don''t leave so soon, give us that pouch at your waist and we''ll protect you." "No." The bandit''s face changed, "Ok no more games give us the pouch or you''re going to get hurt." "No," Kade repeated. "All right you forced us, don''t beg for mercy later you little fuck." The bandits finally showed their true colors as they drew their weapons out, and charge at Kade. ''Idiots'' Kade thought as formed a massive water wave. He bolts at his assailants and hurls it at the leader. Seeing the incoming wave the bandit instinctively turned left. The water wave smashes into his arm, blowing it off. The smell of blood fills the air. The bandit looks at the mangled remains of his arm and screams in horror. The other bandits stop and terror filled their eyes as they look at Kade. "Kill him!" The leader screams in pain. The remaining bandits hesitantly run toward Kade. ''This is an opportunity to train my skills'' Kade thought as he rushes toward another bandit. He moves the water wave to batter his head. The bandit side steps then swang his sword at Kade. Kade dodges and brings the wave to propel into the bandit''s chest. A bone-crunching sound arises. The bandit has a pain filled expression as he looks at the cavity where his heart should be. He collapsed to the ground breathing his last breath. Kade shudders as he looks at the first man he''s killed. ''This won''t be last, the road has only begun'' he gloomily thought. Suddenly Kade feels a searing pain and his water wave collapsed. He turned around and saw the bandit retract the sword embedded deep into his shoulder as he raised it high. ''I was careless'' Kade thought as he formed a wave shield. The bandits chops the sword down and it strikes just as the shield forms. Losing his weapon in the thick water, the bandit turned to run but his head is blown apart as a wave viciously slammed into it. Kade flicked his arm and guides the wave back pointing it at the remaining bandit. He looks at the cowering leader, "Where is the village!" "Keep treading north and it should be across the path me lord." Kade disperses the wave and weakly continuous on the forest trail. He holds his shoulder tight to stop the blood from spraying out. If it wasn''t for his profound constitution he would have already been dead. Kade traveled for 2 hours until he holds sight of a modest village. His is pallid from the massive blood loss, and his feet have turned purple from the long journey. Kade walks to the first house he sees and bangs on the door. Unable to go on he collapses in front of the door. A beautiful maiden opens the door and screams. She sees a blood-drenched man whose neck has been grievously sliced. She rolls up her sleeve and drags him in. 8 miles away a similarly wounded man who has one arm is dragging himself toward a camp. But unlike Kade, he does not have a powerful constitution and he is close to death. As he drags himself in the camp he interrupts the joyous laughter of the 30 men around the campfire. "Henry, who did this to you! Where are the others!" A loud voice boomed. "Leader," Henry weakly says. "There dead, the boy Kade¡­ is¡­ at...Rendall village." Henry fights to remain awake, he tries to warn them of Kade''s terrifying powers. "Be careful¡­ he¡­ is." Unable to continue Henry''s head slaked back and the Bandit leader lets out a lion''s roar. "Rest easy Henry, there will be retribution." With a murderous glare, he looks to the direction of Rendall village."KADE" Bandit Attack (2) Kade opens his eyes and looks around, he is in a dilapidated house that is surprisingly clean. He sits up and shooting pain run across his shoulder and neck. He remembers his careless mistake of getting distracted in battle and curses at himself. ''I can''t let that happen again!'' Sensing eyes staring at him like daggers Kade painfully turns to his right. He sees a big chested maiden and two kids watching him cautiously. "Leave me and the Mister to talk. Go to the river and clean yourselves." The maiden orders the kids. "But, sister" the children whined. "I said now." The kids grudgingly got up and left the house, and kades attention turned back to the maiden. "How are you alive?" She asks in bewilderment. "I take care of people in the village, so I know the amount of blood you lost would have killed 5 normal men. Are you an adept?" ''It looks like mortals do know what adepts are.'' Kade thought. " Yes, I am adept miss. Thank you for saving my life, I am indebted to you." "Master adept, there no need to thank me I am unworthy." The maiden said as her attitude became respectful once she ascertained Kade''s identity. "How long was I out for, Miss¡­ uhh?" "About 3 days and my name is Jenny master." Kade frustratingly hits his lap, he would not let a repeat of the bandit attack happen ever again. He realized that before he continues his journey he must learn the basics of water exoskeleton. "Master, are you ok, let me rebandage your wound" "I''m fine, but I do need a new bandage." Jenny went to get get some bandages out of the cabinet. She brings a basin of water full of medicinal herbs in front of Kade. As she bends down to soak the bandage in the water, kade catches a glimpse of Jenny''s twin peaks. Jenny sensing something looks up and her lips arch into a seductive smile. Kade''s baby maker started to rise as he felt his member throb. She reached over and¡­ "Big Sis! were tired of waiting outside" The boy and girl protest. "You stubborn children, I told you to go to the river! Master, these are my younger siblings Victor and Sarah. " "Hello" they shyly greeted Kade. "Ok, didn''t I tell you guys to wash your selves." "Yes, but we don''t want to go by ourselves to the river." They hesitantly turn toward Kade. "Will you go with us, Master." "Are you out of your minds" Jenny angrily asked. Before she continued to berate them Kade said: "It''s ok Jenny, I could use a soak my self." "Thank you, master, then I will trouble you with watching over them."The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. The kids lead Kade around the town to a secluded shrubland. "Wheres the river?" Kade asked the children. "It''s right behind the shrubs, no one knows of this area except for us." They walked into the shrubs, and on the other side, they come across an endless expanse of green plains. A rushing river was seen afar and the kids excitedly ran towards it. Victor and Sarah take their clothes off and splash around in the water. As they were play fighting, water droplets started floating up in the air. "Victor, look," Sarah said wide-mouthed, as she pointed to the countless droplets above her. "Master Kade, are you doing this?" "Yes," Kade grinned. As he brought his arms together, the droplets fused to form a massive water sphere. Kade released it and a downpour of water splashed on the children. They joyfully screamed and splashed around even more. "Again, again" they yelled as water beads rolled down their skin. Kade looked strangely at these beads. Instead of dropping off the children''s body it sticks to it. And when they touch other beads they fuse together on the skin. He suddenly thought water element particles could be arranged in a similar way. Kade suddenly had an epiphany. "The water exoskeleton can be formed by water element particles!" He yelled. If he brings water element particles on his skin. The properties of the element would act as a glue to hold the water and allow it stay on and retain the shape he makes. But, Kade has never tried to use the water element particles in this way, he has only used his spirit. "Kids, could you stay in the river? I figured out something very important and I need to be focused". The kids nod eagerly to please Kade. Kade sits down and assumes the meditation position. He draws in the abundant water element particles, but instead of absorbing it for his spirit he forms it on his skin. The particles rush over and form a dense layer of the water element over his skin. Kade then configures two water waves and manipulates them to form countless droplets. He brings the droplets over his body and begins to form dense sets of shimmering blue plate armor on his body. The magnificent elemental armor makes Kade look noble yet tyrannical. The kids look at him in awe as his armor formation completes. Kade also nods in satisfaction. "Victor take this dagger and hit me with it as hard as you can. Don''t worry it won''t hurt me." Kade said assuringly. Victor walks over and takes the dagger from Kade''s hands. He puts both his hands up and quickly stabbed down. As the dagger hits the armor, it is reflected back and you could see fine cracked lines on its blade. While Kade''s armor doesn''t have a single scratch. "We should get going, we''ve been here for quite a while. I don''t want your sister to worry. " Kade tells the children. As Kade dissolves the water exoskeleton, he couldn''t stop grinning. His discovery of the water particle cohesion led him to the advanced tier of the water exoskeleton module. The soul chip beeped. ''Your understanding of the laws of water has reached .001%. Comprehension of water has significantly increased, and all water abilities have upgraded. Kade was shocked, Usually, only grade 6 adepts or higher had any development in the elemental laws (Excluding other planar beings.) It was extremely rare for an adept under grade 6 to have any proficiency in elemental laws. The difference between an elemental adept who has some attainment in laws and one who doesn''t is like the heaven and Earth. Even the smallest attainment in laws will dramatically help you with every aspect of the element. Kade jumped up in excitement and the kids giggled. They left the river and headed back towards the town. In front of Jenny''s house, a mob of villagers are yelling and questioning her. "Where is the stranger, get him out!" "The bandits said to hand him off before they come, or they''ll raze our village to the ground!" Jenny who looked unreasonably calm saw Kade coming over and smirked. "You foolish swine. There comes the man your asking about, but he isn''t to be trifled with." "And why is that." A villager mocked. "Because he could destroy us all with a flick of his hand. This man is an adept you backwater scum. He is a master of this world, and will be your demise if you dare to incur his wrath." The bewildered villagers look at kade doubtingly. "You are adept." Although Jenny dramatically exaggerated his status and power in this world, Kade thought he should still show the villagers his strength. He forms a water wave and propels it toward a tree., shards of wood fly as the tree is blown to pieces. ''It seems the laws of water have increased the damage of my water wave.'' Kade thought, containing his excitement. The villagers look in awe at Kade, some even begin to prostate and beg for mercy. An elderly villager walks toward Kade and bows. "I am village leader Myo. I have seen the terrifying power of adepts back in my youth when I was a courier for one. You only seem to be an apprentice, but you are powerful enough to destroy this whole village without breaking a sweat." The elderly suddenly bows down to his knees. "I beg you to help this lowly village. The bandits have sent a letter this morning, telling us to hold a person by the name of Kade. They said if you aren''t here when they arrive they will raze this village to the ground. Please stay Master Kade or our village will be destroyed and our families massacred." he said with glistening tears in his eyes. "Get up, all of you," Kade said without emotion. "I will stay and protect the village." The village explodes with cries of joy and relief. Kade shook his head, the only reason he stayed is because his heart would way heavy if the villagers were massacred because of him. He had just attained the water exoskeleton so he was confident in his abilities, and he needs more combat experience to battle the powerful stone giants. Suddenly war cries and a stampede of hoofs interrupt the villager''s cheering. A band of 30-40 men on horseback race over to the village. "Where is Kade." The bandit leader roared. The entire village subconsciously stepped back leaving Kade to face the savage bandits alone. Bandit Attack (3 Final) The bandit leader looks condescendingly at Kade. "How did Henry and the others lose to the likes of you." Kade feeling irked says "Come here, and you''ll find out." The bandit leader looked at Kade in surprise. He doesn''t know what is giving this boy the courage to face an armed company all by himself. "Joe go test the boy." Joe nodded and urged his horse forward, then drew his sword. When the horse came closer, Kade formed a water wave and bolted toward Joe. As he was running Kade spun in the air and threw the water wave for better momentum. Joe shocked and tugged the horses back, but it was too late. The water wave crushed the horse''s throat and turned to batter Joe, who jumped off. Kade guided the tide back and triumphantly looked at Joe mangled corpse. The entire village was silent. "Adept¡­" the bandit leader said. "No wonder you defeated Henry. No matter, this village will be your burial site. Trap formation!" The bandits quickly surround Kade in a circle and shoved any villagers stupid enough to come close. "Raid squad attack." With his command, five bandits rushed at Kade in a pincer attack. Kade formed a water shield and his plate armor. The horses crashed into the shield, and it cracked all over. '' Water shield is in critical condition.'' The soul chip beeped. ''I need to strike now.'' he thought to himself. Kade formed a water wave and leaped out of the shield. He caught a bandit off guard and plunged the stream into their abdomen, and his intestines flew. The other bandits looked in rage at their slain comrade. They charged at Kade once again. The closest strikes at him, but Kade ducks and lunges forward with his water wave. He knocks the bandit over and crushes his head. Another sword lashes out at him, and he barely dodges. He swings his tide, but the bandit moves and the wave connect with the ground.Stolen novel; please report. The bandit rushes toward Kade and slices his armor with his sword. He looks in shock as only the surface of his guard has been split. Kade grins as he slams the water wave in the bandit''s body. The smell of death is in the air, but the last two bandits fearlessly look at Kade then nod at each other. The mounted bandits draw their swords and create an x shape. They race together aiming to behead Kade. Kade starts running away from the remaining two. They reach him as he runs to the edge of the encirclement. Kade creates another water shield, but instead of running inside he steps on the shield and abruptly black flips above the bandits. They reach out with their swords, but they are to low. Stretching his head to look underneath him he guides a water wave and beheads both bandits. Blood sprays into the bandit''s encirclement and the heads appallingly lay against each other. ''That¡­ that was fun.'' Kade thought as he shook with excitement. "He is not unkillable, all of you charge at him." The bandit leader yelled. But, no one moved an inch. "Are you scared?" he asks. "You are ruthless criminals who have survived more than a dozen bloodbaths." The bandits just looked down at their feet unable to mask their shame and fear. " You scum, I''ll finish this myself." The bandit leader takes off his cloak, reveals a set of heavy armor and enormous glaive in his hands. He makes his huge war horse trug forward to the center of the encirclement. He resembles a tyrannical warlord and is Kade nervous. His spirit and stamina are running out. "You are a valiant warrior young one, but today is your death day. You killed my most reliable men and my companion Henry. Don''t blame me for your death; this is just retribution. Take joy at the fact that you are going to be killed by me. Many men have had their lives taken by my blade. Before the bandit leader could charge at him, Kade took the initiative to run. The bandit leader angrily tugged the horse and charged at Kade. The encirclement split in half as Kade rushed out. ''I need to get to the river'' he thought. Kade exhaled in relief as he sees the shrubs, he jumps in just as the bandit leader reaches his arm out to try to grab him. Kade quickly turns around, but he doesn''t see the bandit leader in sight. He walks to the water as that is where the water element is most present. Suddenly a blade is heard splitting the air, and the bandit''s glaive knocks Kade violently to the edge if the lake. The elemental armor on his back is split in half, and a broad gash is left in its place. At once Kade feels a searing pain across his back, and his will is exhausted. "Is that all you''ve got" the bandit leader mocked. But Kade ignored him and desperately inched closer to the water. The bandit leader puts his glaive on Kade''s head, and he starts to aim it higher and higher over his head. ''Is this the end?'' Kade thought. As the Bandit leader positions his massive glaive Kade realizes this is the chance he has been waiting for. He uses the last of his spirit to form two water waves in the lake. Camouflaged by the surrounding water Kade guides them forward. And before the bandit leader brings his glaive down, the two water waves surge forward like twin snakes and crash against his muscular chest. The bandit leader is in disbelief as he looked at his disfigured chest. Blood seeps out of his mouth, and the ground shakes as he falls to his knees. Kade''s eyes turn hazy as he sees a silhouette reach out to him. Unable to hold out, his consciousness slips away, and he succumbs to his exhaustion.
