Chapter 3 - A bad beginning

lucifer wakes inhaling a sharp breath pain flaling his body like he was stabed a thousand times over he wails biting into his lip to not make as much noise before shaping up looking over his body he seems to be 183 cm well built but his clothes are blood covered and in tatters he struggles to stand before stretching his body the pain seems to have come from arriving in a new body hearing a stream he follows the sound ariving there he sees his reflection his eyes a deep purple and pair of small horns on his head he splashes his face and drinks the water before going silent listening hearing horses in a distance he walks towards it at a steady pace he seems a merchant carage 4 murcanarys one on each corner walking on the outside he watches with interest staying at a distance he walks from the woods and towards the carage " hello " lucifers calls out hoping there decent humans the gards on alert snap back at him swords drawn lucufer steps back before the guards scogh " a peasant boy dares disturb us " one mercinary says looking towards another one " yea yea he's filthy and looks 15 what could he possibly have " lucifer sighs to himself and walks back towards the woods thinking to himself " shelter food and new clothes " lucifer sighs and finds a suitable place to stay its a shallow cave dug into a side of a hill not to big but perfect to stay in he gathered woods vines and sets up 4 traps around the stream as he waits for soemthing to be caught he makes a small fire pit for cooking later he snaps branches and stacks them in 2 traps caught something one a rabbit with little meat on it the other one holding a fox he snaps the head of the rabbit before going back stringing a bow with vines on a flexible stick going over the water draining the rabbits blood before pulling the skin off and taking his bones using them twined on sticks to make arrows and goes and shoots the fox the arrow going straight into its soft fleshy neck killing it repeating the proces going to the river draining its blood before taking his time peeling the foxes skin off inside out making a cabob with a arrow lights a fite roasting the fox meat eating half storing the rest for tomorrow hiding the pelts and roast in the cave lucifer stretches before sitting cross leged in the cave floor closing his eyes slowing his breaths he cultivates his meridians following a unique path of a hour glass as he cultivated the night ticks bye lucifer passed out at one point waking up early in the morning eating the left over fox meat three of the traps had a trapped beast 2 rabbits and a squaral snapping there necks bringing them to the river and draining there blood he puts them up in the cave before sitting back down closing his eyes and meditating the spirit qi in the air flowing towards his body slowly interning through his pores following his maridens in a hour glass shape slowly pushing his body into the secound stage of the body refining realm he wakes and sighs " eight more to go " he stands up stretching his body its a little past noon he goes to one of the rabbit beast and skins it pulling the mean on a arrow and roasting it on the fire slowly waiting he eats the roast in full having a rabbit and squaral left he adds the rabbits pelt to the fox thinking to himself " I need a bag to hold these to bring them to town soon " he goes and checks the traps and and feels disappointed seeing one broke and the three left empty he fixes the fourth one and let's it be going back to the cave he sits back down and starts cultivating he stays there till the next day late noon he stands up feeling extremely tired but having energy " I broke into the third stage but this is only going to get harder even children are at the third and fourth stage " he takes the squarel skins it then starts a fire roast it and goes back to the other pelts seeing a fox a two rabbit and a squaral he eats the squaral meat and stretches his body doing some casual exercises he pushes his body to the limit before passing out in the cave he wakes up slightly happy that he is at the fourth stage from just working mumbling " maybe I'm at the level of a teen just starting work these next levels will take me a few days per each minor realm " he goes and checks the traps only having one trap with a rabbit in it sighing " ill need a sword to hunt myself im only getting rank one beast I need rank 2 to progress even slightly " letting the blood drain in the river he goes to the cave then gathers vines he uses the vines and turns the foxes pelt into a small bag holding the two rabbits pelt and the squarel pelt " when I eat these two rabbits ill go and hopefully make it to town " its now going late into the night he skins one rabbit adding it to his fox bag before roasting the rabbit eating it quickly " i have these bones but its unlikely anyone will want them but still taking my chances " adding the bones of all the animals into the bag he exercises longer than last night but dosent pass out he meditates late into the night and falls asleep waking in the morning and sighs " of course it will take time to progress now " he skins the last rabbit before roasting it licking his lips realizing how hungry he is take the pelt in the bag and starts heading towards where he found the carage and murcanarys he follows the path they took arriving at a very small farming village no gards watching the entrance he walks straight in looking around walking the through the village taking his time looking for a shop he finds one and walks inside the lady at the counter perks up hearing the bell ring before seeing lucifer at the door she mumbles to herself " a boy I've never seen he looks terrible probably not even having anything * lucufer puts on his best smile walking towards her not hearing anything she said " I don't have much but I do have 4 rabbit skins a squaral and a fox bag I do have all the bones if they interest you at all " she

thinks for a slight moment " 1 copper for the squarel 4 for the rabbits and 4 for the fix bag it is normally 3 but this is already made into something usable "
