49th day since my arrival, Base of Crystal Lake Mountain
For past two days Kira has been chopping marked trees, shaping his body took a toll on him but to his displeasure his righteous master did not let him rest after just a night rest he was assigned to gather marked trees for a ritual, usually that would happen after reaching Shang Clan (If he accepted her proposal) but master Amber made this decision as a reward just like that he was accepted as officiall disciple.
In his home planet, winter brought nothing but cold and hunger in his early years, until he polished his skills but before that single thought of sleeping sacred him to gut.
Those who were sold their first demanded weak will and to break them they were raised in holding facility like compound atleast compared to then he only need to share space with one insane women and would be not hungry.
One thing to that also kept him going was just pure disgust of his oldtimer.
Sometime time past and arrogant tree fell to vicious strikes of his brother defiled corpse.
After first light of 47th day woke him up from his miserable state.
He asked himself few times why he was doing this didn't he was the one to vow not let anyone treat him like a commodity?
When he escaped from 'workplace' he vowed to net let anything chain him but shame to admit he was the first person to put one on himself that night, in his own delusion he thought he could break these fickle chain but with time, these chains grew more and more resulting in him now abusing his own body and mind to this extreme and even now he questioned himself how can he remain so focused to the point of obsession did he loose himself but when ?
When he ignored that girl same age his daughter?
Or when he processed 'material' from corpses of men and beast.
Was it even worth the effort, torture...loss of what makes him human ?
'Yes, it is I will never abandon them I will never be spineless as that bastard.'
At the fate verdict and whims of something much more grand moved catching ride on Northern winds.
(Amber' POV)
Amber unlike her name hated touch of fire, as such the region of southern border where crystal lake meditated to heaven and earth was cold even more so in winter.
'My finance is depleting day by day if not for my father's teaching me importance of making use of all resources without wasting them I would be in great pressure'
'Hohoho my dear disciple working so hard hehehe such a letdown tch.'
( Kira's POV )
'My physical body has improved, in all round aspects. My vision, hearing, smell, touch, and endurance has improved alot and my artificially modified muscles and bones feel more natural.'
'My choice of strength path will not only grant my body more strength but also capacity to endure much pain also my capacity of vital organs like lungs and liver improved but it seems there not much improvement in my nervous system.
Also Serpent near my heart share no warmth not even cold, even tattoo inject ink in skin but serpent submissive stance provide only submission I possess no method to active it like it's incomplete or atleast lacks the medium to express itself.'
This was last log he need to carry from bottom of crystal lake mountain to peak but he carried this act at such indifference that calling him masochist would not be deemed unfair.
'Libration Supreme treated crippled bigger to ruler of empires alike, now I understand that what use of this flesh when it will rot away at the end. Then, AM I nothing more than hypocrite who treat a connection of flesh to such extreme?'
'No! There is a meaning that I gave it so until I lose my soul....my essence there is wrong being...
All of a sudden a voice brought back Kira's concious to present circumstances.
"So you got proper wood I marked for the task ?"
"Yes, master I also prepared pyre for next procession"
"Good" "Hey I told about legends from my world don't you have any ?"
'So she finally asked.... What should I choose.... Hmmm
"Let me tell you about lion among man unlike your grand character he was in my workplace in flesh The Big D*Ck Randy
He was a legend among upper echelons of Kleos women society and nightmare for unfortunate ones
In my 'workplace' there were only few ways you can make out of 'business' and only few had courage as well ability to do so.
I was one of the few to get out, atleast from the 'workplace, so it will not shock that I met him one time.
At 'workplace' there were several rules established to integrate new blood in organisation and one of the most dreadful one was
- To earn any living You we need to pay for that you need money... So
To earn the right to work,
You need to work
To earnt the right to work,
You were to spent days in filth just to stay alive
To earn the right to give
Ourselves the right to live
To be loved
To earn the right to die
You needed starting sum of money
They did not care about us, why would they it was our fault to born in this part of city where new blood always flowed,
Some were here to pay for debt, those who did not have any resource to survive and some like me...sold
So usually we need to take care of eachother just to survive another day but after my graduation big d*ck Randy became the person to control all trust money.
He worked very 'hard' with passion and his determination to touch everyones's heart was commendable.
So that's it....
"That it is end of story?No charector development of anything atleast tell me how you survived and how lion took contol.."
"Trade secrets master, can't disclose"
"YOU! Hmmph let's finish the ritual prepare everything as stated"
