《Evil Sword Overlord》 -3 Read this before you read chapter one or you will die... @@ Settings The story will take place at the Kingdom of Trylon in the world of Zitonia. This world is full of Monsters, Mythical beasts, Gods, spirits, demons and many more Mystical Creature. It is 100x larger than earth and there is still places yet to be discover. This place is once ruled by Demons 1000 years ago but they were suppressed by Humans and they were drove away far from the Humans. The planet is divided into 7 Major continent. The Continent of Trylon , ruled by the Kingdom of Trylon. Cresent Moon Sect The Continent of Helanos, ruled by the kingdom of Helanos. Holy Light Sect The Continent of Old Demons, ruled by the Kingdom of Mesanoia The Continent of Dragon head, ruled by the kingdom of Latinos. These four kingdoms is under the alliance of Light Crest. The Continent of Sindosmia , home of Magical beasts. The Continent of Umbrina , unexplored region. The Continent of Simolania, unexplored region.@@ -2 Cultivation Levels @@ Strength in Zitonia is Divided into 13 stages and called soul stages. Pre-Mortal Mortal Earth Sky Master Grandmaster Pre-Celestial Peri-Celestial Celestial Angelic Demigod God Supreme being Pre-Mortal to Earth level has its soul in gaseous state. When one reached Sky level up to Grandmaster level has a soul in liquid state. When one reached Peri-Celestial up to celestial, one has a solid state of soul. Angelic to supreme being has a golden soul. Every soul state has a great difference in power.. For example.. Earth and Sky level is only one level apart but the Fantasia condensation has a great effect. To level up from Earth to sky, one needs to break through the bottleneck and when one achieved Sky level, the Cultivator will encounter a watershed.@@ -1 Soul levels Fantasia is the power in this world. Fantasia is mixed with the air, and comes to the body through inhaling. Without proper cultivation, the Fantasia that the person inhaled will eventually goes out of the body through exhaling but not 100% will get out of the body but only 99 percent. The 1 percent will be absorbed by the body but it will take too long for a person to level up with this. Once a person learn how to cultivate, he can inhale Fantasia and let his body absorb it before it''ll be exhaled but one needs to do it on meditation state. Soul is the container of Fantasia, so if one''s soul is severely damaged, it won''t absorb any Fantasia and stay in that cultivation stage forever. Once the soul of a person will be overloaded by Fantasia it will explode and that will make the person to level up. The Hardesy stage of the cultivation is the Celestial stage, it will need a lot of amount of fantasia to level up, 1000 years worth of cultivation. Most of the cultivators stuck at the grandmaster stage. The type of peoples that can enter pre celestial is The Rich, Genius and special peoples. The Rich and Special people''s method is to buy Fantasia pill. This pill has Fantasia in it and if a person is going to take the pill, he or she will absorb the Fantasia. Geniuses learned how to cultivate faster that will took them less time to breakthrough. Once a person enters pre celestial stage, his or her cultivation speed will be 10 times faster and can do a normal cultivation in lower realm with simply breathing. Lower Realm is Grandmaster and below, Higher Realm is Pre-Celestial and to Angelic stage and Demigod to Supreme being are Immortals. Every Soul levels in Lower realm will grant its user 50 year. A total of 600 years a grandmaster can live. In the higher realm, it will grant the person a 150 a total of another 600 years and giving a total 1200 years. Even though breaking through Pre-Celestial stage is the hardest, there is still harder than the hardest... THE IMPOSSIBLE... BREAKING TO DEMIGOD IS IMPOSSIBLE for the most people but there is still crazy rich and crazy geniuses around there that can break through in this level but they choose to hide and keep silent. This is the only thing that I can tell you for now... Going beyond this will be considered as a spoiler.... So please bear with it 1 Soul Overload Year 1111 AD (After Demons). Month of June "AHHHHHHHHHH.... HEEEELP" A lady shouted so loud. There was a village that is under attack by Demon remnants. Demons burned the houses and killed everyone they saw. Demons look like a human with gray colored skin and they also have horns and tails. They wore a full body black armor. They went on a killing spree, killing everyone they saw. There was only a few Martial Artist around there. They fought back but still, they got killed after a short period of time. The village was surrounded by Demons and everyone is gathered at the middle of the village. "Dominic... Live for our sake. We will make a way for you to escape here alive. Just leave it to your Papa and Mama... Okay? " the man patted his Son''s head and hugged him. "I won''t leave the both of you... We will live together. We will fight them! " the boy named Dominic clenched his fist and wiped his tears. " Dom..You will get out here alive and avenge all of the villagers " his mother hugged him tightly. The Demons got nearer to them. All of the villagers made a circle formation wherein Dom and a little girl was protected inside. Then a two lady grab the both of them and carried them, then a man shouted" GO! " then they dashed to the demons. They did this to make some way for the girl and Dominic to escape. " Andrea.. Take good care of yourself .... And Dominic.. As a man protect Andrea... " the girl carrying the girl named Andrea looked at Dominic with pitiful eyes. Then Dominic nodded. As they passed through the barricade of Demon warriors, half of the villagers died. " FOLLOW THEM. DON''T LET ANYBODY ESCAPE" The demon Commander shouted at his troops. Then the demons rushed to catch the Villagers. Then the two ladies put down Andrea and Dominic into the ground. "RUN!" As soon as Andrea and Dominic heard the two ladies shout at them, they then run into the forest. The villagers tried to stop the demons but they didn''t hold them too long and all of them got killed. "CATCH THE KIDS, DON''T LET THEM ESCAPE. A MEAT OF 8 YEARS OLD IS THE BEST" Then the Demon Commander licked his lips. The demon''s spirit rose up and then they run to catch up with Andrea and Dominic. ... "Ehhhhhh? Demon''s raid? " It was an old man at the age of 72 riding a horse. He has a white long beard and a white long hair. His face is full of wrinkles. Now, he is just a weak and fragile old man. He can''t do anything about the Demon''s raid. As he wanders in the forest he saw two kids chased by 10 demons.... .... "Andrea, run... Don''t let go of my hand... Hold it tighter " Dominic is running out of breath and there are only a few meters between them and the Demons who are chasing them. Andrea cries as she runs and after running a few meters she fell into the ground and dragging Dominic with her. Both of them are lying on the ground. "AHHHHHHH" Andrea''s shout was so loud and high that made Dominic''s ear hurt. Dominic then found out that there is a long slash on her back and it didn''t stop bleeding. Dominic was horrified and then looked at the Demon with a bloody sword on his hands. He then stabs Dominic on his stomach "AHHHHH" ... Year 1121 AD Month of October "AHHHHHHHHHH" "BLAG" " Ouch, Master. STOP HITTING ME EVERY TIME I WAKE UP.... AHHHHHHHH NOOOOO...STOP...STOP...I''M SORRY MASTER... SORRY.. NOOOOOOO. YAAAAAAAAH" Right after Dom waked up from his nightmare, his Master Emong hit him with his wooden cane. He shouted like a lady being raped by an ugly b*stard. "You scared the sh*t out me when you shouted. Is it that nightmare again?"From an angry face, his master''s facial expression changed into a serious mood. "Yes..... Its been 9 years since then. I was only 8 years old by that time but still, those demons hunt me in my dreams." Dominic clenched his fist.... Looking back at his past made him feel angry towards Demons. Dominic has been training for 9 years under the tutelage of his Master Emong. Emong is a Sword Master, using a sword as a major weapon in battles. He said that he mastered multiple sword skills and other unique skills. He is now 79 years of age. Even reaching Grandmaster Level, he is nearing his death by this time. His Soul was damaged severely by a Legendary Grandmaster Level beast and wounded his Soul and fantasia he accumulated oozed out of his body before fixing it. Even fixing his soul, he can''t cultivate anymore. His life and shortened, equivalent to a normal human. He travelled the world to find someone to help him but, he only failed to find a cure for his condition. "are you done training you Sword Comprehension level to level 5? You''re practicing that for 9 years and you''re stuck at level 4 for two years. After all these years, now I realized that you are below a normal human level, or should I say a ''TRASH''. Swordmasters at your age have level 7 Sword Comprehension and look at you? You will become a laughing stock at the time you enter the academy eh? " Emong looked at Dominic with a super serious face that made Dominic cower in fear. " below A Normal Human level your A*s! I trained so hard to be called a ''TRASH''by my own master.... AHHHHHHH... No.. No.. No.. Stop. Stop!! YAAAAAAAH.. I''M SORRY...!! STOOOOOP!!AHHHHH... WAAAAAH" by this time Emong hit Dominic with his Cane. With his Sword Comprehension at level 8 and using his cane as a sword and use a normal sword skill, it made Dom shout in pain. Every hit made a bruise on Dom''s skin. Even his Fantasia ooze out of his body, but still, his physique was at Grandmaster Level enable him to beat Dominic into a pulp. "Master... You know me... I''m just joki-.. AHHHHHH. I''M JUST JOKING... MAST-... AHHHHHH" he was beaten again by his master leaving bruises and wounds on his body. "Ok enough... I''ll cast a healing spell on you. " A green light enveloped Dominic''s body and as the green light continues to emit, the bruises and wounds on his body vanished as time passes by. " Do you feel okay now? Dom? " " Yes master" "Then cultivate your sword skills to reach higher Sword Comprehension level." "yes I will" .... "Wind Blade" the wind coated the blade that Dominic is holding. He then slashed it through the trees and a crescent wind force came out through its blade. The trees were cut cleanly within the range of 100 meters and as the wind blade goes farther, it''s width is increased. "Master Emong said it is still a weak skill, even though it is an epic skill its power is lower compared to other youths at my age. " Dominic said this while he shook his head, disappointed on his own performance. " I''m still stuck at Sword Comprehension level 4 and my Soul is only at Sky level. Haaaaist. This is so complicated, I need to reach Master stage to enter the Academy and I need to reach Sword Comprehension level 5 so that I won''t get behind with the others at the academy. " " TRAIN HARDER DOM... YOU NEED TO FIND ANDREA" Dom shouted in the middle of the forest to boost his confidence. He performed a Booster skill: Thunder. His body was enveloped by lightning and his speed was tripled. He then Slashed trees and also using a Sword skill: Devil''s Edge. With this skill, his sword''s will be sharper and harder. Even though these skills are high tiered, means it uses a large amount of Fantasia, but he can use it normally because of his Legendary Passive Skill, obtained by killing and eating a Phoenix. The skill''s name is Soul Overload. Having this skill will grant its user 5 times of Fantasia than other Cultivators and also at the same time, 5 times Fantasia absorption than the others. Obtaining this skill has a 99% death rate. So far, only Dominic and a few cultivators have perfectly obtained the skill. The Phoenix meat is so hot when it enters the body. Some cultivators can''t take even a small slice of meat. Dominic eats the whole 100 meters phoenix within 2 months. With the physique of the Phoenix, it won''t go spoiled even after 1 year. When he ate the Phoenix, his Soul is only at Mortal level. This is also the requirement of acquiring the Legendary Passive Skill: Soul Overload. The first time he ate the meat, his body temperature reached 55 degrees Celsius, but after an hour it returned to normal temperature. The second time he ate it, his body temperature is now 54 degrees Celsius. And as he ate it, he became immune to the heat and after 1 week he''s just eating it like a piece of cake. And with this skill, he is immune to Fire based attacks and no Ice magic can freeze him. "Wooooh. I felt so tired!" sweat dripping down his face and he bathed on his own sweat making his White shirt wet and he take it off. He displayed his muscular body full of scars done by his training. Even though Master Emong has a healing spell, it will just close the wound but the scars remain. It is almost twilight when he finished training his skills and Sword Comprehension. "I should head back now. I still need to Cultivate my Soul. I need to reach Master Soul level soon, to enter the Academy" He is now walking to their Small house hidden in the mountains of Limonsito. After taking a bath, they eat together with his master and then go to bed. "I''ll train better tomorrow. For the sake of the villagers, my family, and especially for that little girl Andrea. I need to find her soon " 2 Master Emong vs Skeletal Dragon "Hey, Dominic.... Wake up!" "Yes, Master!" After hearing his master''s call, Dominic rushed towards the living area where his master is waiting. "I prepared your breakfast, go eat now." Emong is currently sitting on a rocking chair, rocking his body while his eyes closed. Dominic rushed to the table, and eat his breakfast. After this, he then rushed to the mountain with his battle sword and some extra shirts. He is now on the area he cleared yesterday. The lifeless trees lied down on the ground, and leaves fell to the ground. He then sat above a large rock that is about 100 kilos, and then entered the meditation State. Clearing everything in his consciousness, he felt Fantasia flowing through his body. Fantasia particles flowing in the air, as he exhaled, he absorbed a large number of Fantasias, and Fantasia also entered his body through his skin pores. After a while, his body feels refreshed but at the same time, he also felt tired. While cultivating, he used his energy to stabilize the Fantasia he acquired. After 2 hours of Cultivating, Dom stopped and exit meditation state. As he opens his eyes, nothing changes in the scenery. The place is still filled with fallen logs and leaves. "Time to hunt some foods" after resting for a while, he then starts to wander around the Mountain range of Limonsito. As he wanders around the Mountains, he goes deeper to some dangerous regions. "Naaaaah... where did these Wild boars go into?" He is looking for some wild boars for almost two hours. After a while, Dom decided to head back to his house and take a rest. He is now walking heading back to the house when a Large Creature made of bones appeared in his path. This creature released dangerous vibes as he locks his eyes on Dominic. He felt shivers run down through his spine, and cold sweat dripped down to his face from his forehead. He can''t move, he felt terrified, the scene alone made his body unmovable, akin to a statue. The Bony Creature released a loud roar "ROOOOAAAR" .... "ROOOOAAAR" "Huh? What was that?" Master Emong awakened from his nap by this loud roar. The Roar is too loud, that made the whole mountains noisy, the birds chirped so loudly, small beast running around in fear, some are hiding in their caves and this scene alone made Emong feel Danger is coming. Then, he remembered his disciple, Dominic, and run into his newly made training ground, out of fallen trees. He looks everywhere to find him, but there is no Dominic there. He remembered the time, it is past 1 pm and Dominic must be hungry and left the training grounds to find some food. "D*mn!!" He then rushed to the place where the load roar came. .... Dominic''s body is trembling in fear as the Dragon released the roar. His knee grew weaker and then he collapsed and fall into the ground. Staring at a Bone Creature made his body shivers. The distance between Dom and the Monster is only 50 meters. "DOM, STAY AWAY FROM THE SKELETAL DRAGON!" after dom heard this, he looked at the human figure 100 meters away from him, and it was his Master Emong coming to his aid. [Skeletal Dragon?] after repeating it on his mind, he remembered that the bony creature in front of him is the Skeletal Dragon. It is a Dragon composed of Skeleton, it is as large as a 2 story building, and has a length of 60 meters. The monster''s level is at grandmaster level, par with Master Emong. But, Master Emong suffered great damage in his soul that made him weaker than the Skeletal Dragon. Master Emong is holding a sword, gold in color. Its length is 80 cm. Master Emong''s body is covered by lighting and the sword is emitting a black aura, it was the Booster skill: Thunder and the Devil''s Edge. "HEY MONSTER! YOUR ENEMY IS HERE!" The Skeletal Dragon turned his head, locking his eyes into an old skinny man. The Golden sword Master Emong is holding is glowing, it was channeling External Fantasia. Instead of extracting Fantasia from his body into his sword, he is borrowing Fantasia from nature and channel it directly to his sword. This is the method Master Emong invented after his soul has been severely damaged and unable to store a large amount of Fantasia. "WIND BLAAAADE!" Master Emong slashed his sword into the air and released a Wind Blade. The wind blade traveled fast enough that Dom only sees a blur of light. Within a second, it hits the head of the Skeletal Dragon. BLAAG A loud sound of something dropped to the ground rang into Dom''s ear, and it was the head of the Skeletal Dragon. [The head of the Skeletal Dragon! As easy as that, Master Emong killed it.] After this thought run in Dom''s head, he rushed to his master''s side but, the Skeletal tail of the dragon move like a whip and hit Dominic on his stomach. Dom flew 300 meters away from the scene, wounds from the spikes appeared in his stomach, making him cry in pain and fear. Master''s Emong eyes grow wide, his heart was crushed by the scene he saw, his beloved disciple is dying right before his eyes. "DOMINIC! LEAVE ME, SAVE YOURSELF " Dominic looked at his master with teary eyes. [I don''t wanna leave you master, but,....] Dominic ran as fast as he could, without looking back at his master. [ Don''t die master] this thought running in his head and was the only wish he''s asking for right now. "Hey Bones, since my disciple is now safe, let us kill each other without holding back. " " Forbidden skill Activate Life for Power" Suddenly, Emong''s body glow in white light, but it was just a dim light. Sacrificing his remaining life for power just to defeat the Skeletal Dragon but, he has only 20 years or so years of life left, making the Forbidden skill weak. He dashed to the Skeletal Dragon''s Core. The core is the weakest point of the Monster''s body, given with the body structure of the Dragon, his Core is open for attack as only ribs are covering it. A monsters core is located in the navel, but the undead creature has the core located at their heart. The fight continued for 1 hour, Master Emong is bathed with his own blood, his white robe has become a red scarlet robe due to blood. The only one who suffered damage is Master Emong. Before the fight, Master Emong knew that he has no chance of winning, he only did it to buy some time for his beloved disciple to escape. Emong stand there, without moving. The Skeletal Dragon look at Emong, confused. [Why did this old skinny man stop moving?] Then the Dragon raised its paw and slap Master Emong. Master Emong flew for 500 meters, his bones break, his wound is severe, and his life has been sacrificed, he will just live for an hour. Then the Dragon let a load roar and exited the battle, ignoring Master Emong. "My Disciple..... Read... The... Letter... I.. Left..... Under... My.. Bed... And.. Take... this... sword.. " Emong wrote this words on the tree with his own blood. .... Far away, a man wearing jeans, sports shoes, and a Red fit shirt walking aimlessly. ROAAAAR! " It was the Skeletal Dragon! MASTER!" All of his scared thought erased by the roar and making him rush to its direction. Running with all his might, even though he got stumbled by the tree''s roots, he still gets up and runs.Within a time of 5 minutes, he covered almost 5 kilometers. Within 5 minutes, he activated Thunder that allows him to cover a great distance. Stopping at the scene of the fight, he saw his master that is as red as a tomato right now. He rushed to his master''s side, he discovered severe wounds in his body and found out that his master is already dead. "MASTER... DON''T LEAVE ME ALONE! " Dominic started to sob. He cried for almost 10 minutes, then he discovered a tree nearby with a phrase written by blood. " My disciple, read the letter I left under my bed and take this sword. " 3 The New Beginning There was a man, wearing Blue sweatshirt, slightly ripped jeans and Blue sports shoes standing at a newly made grave. "I won''t forget how you take care of me master, I will never forget." Streams of tears fell down from his eyes down to his face. Dom began to cry again, sitting atop the grave. After a while, he heads back to his house, he rushed into his master room and get the box underneath his bed. "to Dom" that is the two words written in the cover. Dom slowly opened the Box and he saw a paper. He opened the paper and read its content. " by the time you read this, Dom, I''m already dead, for sure. From the time when I found you and Andrea in the forest, I don''t hold any feelings for humans, I really hate humans. Humans are crueler than Demons. I told you that my soul is broken because I was battling a beast, but in reality, The King of the Kingdom, Cyril the Third, made me a lab rat. They run a test, injecting chemicals into my body resulting to a damaged soul. I have great potential, I''m a genius capable of reaching Supreme being level. With only 10 years I reached Grandmaster level, many cultivators envied me, but I just ignored them. Then the King himself came to my home and speak with me about working for him. It was a great honor to work for a king who is already at Celestial Level. It took him 700 years to break through and expended nearly 1 Quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000) Gold, it was hard for him but it was worth it, given the title of the King, money is not a problem for Cyril at all. seeing the potential and talent of me, far superior than him, he felt envy towards me and planned to experiment my physique, resulting my soul to be damage. I''m not asking you to avenge me, but be aware that Cyril is a monster. Dom, take the sword with you. The Shalltear Sword has the ability to absorb Fantasia from the Monster to the user, in other words, it is a Fantasia Stealing sword, similar to Live stealing swords. I cultivated easily using this sword, but I only acquired it when I''m at the Master level, but without the sword, my Cultivation level up is faster than others. It fell directly from the heavens, and I''m the one who managed to get it. Do you remember all the skill that I taught you? Every single bit of it is important, from Demon''s Edge to wind blade will help you in your survival. Your potential is greater than mine and being a celestial being is just a piece of cake for you, but remember to lie low and don''t think of yourself highly. Enter the academy, the library there will help you, learn and learn. Being a student or a janitor in the academy will grant you access in the Library. Dom, I only said that Andrea must be alive, right? But she is really Alive, she is living in the city, find her there. Take care, my young disciple. Go, scram and dominate the heaven and earth and be the Sword overlord" Dom started to cry. He grabbed the sword, the Shalltear Sword. He hugged it, the only memorabilia his master has left. The trials and tribulations his master has conquered are too great and terrifying. "I, your Disciple, will avenge you and I will make Cyril the Third Suffer that will make him cry and ask for help to his grandfather." ..... "Whew" a man sitting in a rock let out a deep sigh. It was Dom, he is cultivating for 4 hours and stopped to hunt some foods. Dom is travelling towards the Kingdom of Trylon, to the City of Springs, Tamfaken. He''s been travelling for a month now but still stuck at Sky level. As he wanders around a forest, he found something unique. A red lizard is fighting a mid-sized boar. The red lizard is only a ruler big and the boar is larger 25x than the lizard. The fight is one-sided, the lizard is losing. The boar continues to stomp on the Lizard. Then Dom brandished his Shalltear Sword and cut the boars head. The lizard stared at the man in its front, terrified. He wanted to run but he got injuries. Dom looked at the pitiful state of the red lizard. "I shall take care of you until you fully healed your self." He picked up the Red Lizard and placed it in his shoulder. The terrified lizard became friendly and more friendly towards Dominic. .... "hmmmmm, this meat is so good. " after roasting the boar he killed, he ate its thigh. The Lizard has a dead Cicada in front of it, caught by Dominic while waiting for the boar to cook. The Lizard stared blankly at the cicada, its stare is like a human expression of ''What the f*ck is this dead cicada doing here?'' The Lizard stared at the thigh of the boar being chomped by Dom. Dom noticed the Lizard ignoring the cicada, instead, he stared at the thigh he is eating and saw the lizard drool. "Do you want this?" Then, the lizard nodded its head. Dominic was a bit shocked. [ He nodded?]. The lizard really nodded like he understands what Dominic is saying. Doming throw the half-eaten thigh on his hand to the Lizard and get himself a new thigh. The lizard chomped on the thigh as soon as it fell to the ground. The lizard''s tail slaps the cicada and it flew away. [I thought lizards only eat insects, but why did this red one eat meat? What kind of Lizard did I save?.] Then, the Man and a Lizard tag team finished eating their Meat. .... "Ohhhhh. Past this forest is the City of Tamfaken? " After Dominic examined the Map, he put it back in his backpack. Then before entering the forest, he saw a carriage encircled by black-robed mens. Dom silently activated his movement skill ''Wind step'', it is a normal skill consuming only a small amount of Fantasia. It will allow its user to float 7 inches from the ground. Sneaking silently, he hides behind those big trees and peeking at the Robbers. " Give all of your belongings and leave this carriage. " " I will gonna count 1 to 10." "1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9-" "Senior brother, Please don''t rob them. " Then Dom rushed to the scene and stop the man who is currently counting. The man is wearing a black robe and a black mask covering his face. The robbers have a backpack that looked full with useful things. " Huh? Who are you? " The leader looked angrily at Dom, his eyes filled with killing intent. "I am Dominic Stellarium. A cultivator." "hahahahaha! Cultivator your *ss! Don''t act tough kid. All of us here is at Earth Level, by your looks and age you must be at the mid stage of Mortal level, right? Feel old yet and you wanted to die now? " The leader clutched his dagger and walking slowly towards Dom. [Hahahaha. Earth level eh? I''ll gonna act weak. Hehehehe] Evil grin appeared in his face but suddenly vanished. The Leader grabbed his collar and lift him in the air but unable to. To act weak, Dominic secretly activated wind step to levitate himself and let the Bandit leader assume that he lifted Dom. "Scram kiddo and leave your belongings behind" 4 Young mistress of the city of Springs "Hey Bandit Leader, I will give you a great deal, leave now and I will not rob even a single bit of copper coin from you and also, I will give you time to run. " Dom said it calmly while floating in the air acting like being lifted by the bandit "Hahahahaha... You will give us a time to run? Are you joking? And you also said you will rob us? HAHAHAHAHA. This kiddo here must be an entertainer, he knows how to make a joke. " "HAHAHAHAHA YES I''m giving you time to run. HAHAHAHA" "Hahahaha" - the bandits really laughed to the point that their stomach feels pain. "HAHAHAHAHA" - Dom "HAHAHAHAHA"- [Why did this man laughed? Is he insulting us?] The leader''s face is a bit weird but still laughing. "HAHAHAHAHA"-Dom "HA HA HA HA " [ INSOLENT! Insulting us eh, then prepare to die!] The face of the leader and also his subordinates grow furious. " HAHAHA-" "STOP! WHAT''S SO FUNNY? HUH? " The bandits said in unison. They stared angrily and Dominic. " YOU''RE LAUGHING, SO I FEEL THAT I SHOULD ALSO LAUGH" Dom "IDIOT! PREPARE TO DIE! MY MEN, CHAAAAARGE" over 30 Bandits rushed over Dominic. "Nooooooo!" The girl inside the carriage let out a high pitch shrill, but the Bandits ignored it and continue to charge at Dom. Dom let out an evil grin that made the leader feel pressure and step backwards, 2 meters away from Dom. Dom didn''t move at all. The bandits are only 3 meters away from Dom. Dom let his Fantasia go rampant and release it making energy waves made of Fantasia. The energy waves give them the feeling of fear, and death. "A Sky Level! And on the peak stage now! " " I already told you to scram away and I won''t rob you, but now, you made me angry and I will rob everything and all your storage rings and backpacks." "Senior brother, Don''t do this to us! We walk on the same path of Robbing. We can''t be enemies!" The leader is kneeling in front of Dominic. The power difference between Gaseous soul and Liquefied soul is too great. "you made me angry, so I won''t let you escape easily! And because I am a generous person, you can have your underwears. " " Senior Brother, what do you mean by ''You can have your underwears?'' " The leader''s face is confused, and he is somewhat afraid. " Hahahahahaha... I will rob everything aside from your underwears. START PILING YOUR THINGS IN FRONT OF ME NOW! " Dom shouted and at the same time released a bit of his Fantasia that made the bandits shiver in fear. Then they start piling up their things, they gave their Storage ring directly to Dominic. " Senior Brother, this is all we have, can we go now? " The Leader felt a great danger when he caught a glance of Dominic''s grin. " yes, Then find a decent job in the City or be an adventurer. " " Yes Senior brother! " The they ran while holding their crotches. They looked like idiots escaped from mental hospital that run only wearing underwears. Then, all of them run deep within the forest and only wearing underwears. They ran while holding their crotches. They looked like idiots escaped from mental hospital that run only wearing underwears. Dominic laughed at scene he saw, it was hilarious. Dominic started to put everything in the Storage ring. The bags are empty and all of the items are in the storage rings. There are pills, swords, robes, armors, gold, and many other great equipment and useful relics. There is a total of 5 Storage rings and he put it all on his left hand. There is also an empty Individual Weapon ring and he put it in his ring finger in his right hand. Then he put his Shallter sword in it. With just a flick of his hand, the Shalltear sword appeared on his hand and with a flicker of his finger, it came back inside. The little red bizarre lizard let out a cute roar. After spending weeks with Dominic, it grew from a ruler to a ruler and 2 inches or 14 inches. The Lady inside the carriage was flabbergasted. [The robbers got robbed?] even replaying everything in her mind, she won''t still believe it wholeheartedly. She thinks that it was just a scheme made by Dom, but suddenly she removed that thought out of her mind. She came out of the carriage and walk towards Dom''s direction. "Senior Brother, thank you for saving us. I am Francia Bridette, the daughter of the Lord of Tamfaken, Leonardo Bridette. " She bowed her head and tears shot out from her eyes. " Don''t cry Young Mistress, it''s one of my duty to protect someone being bullied by others. I am the protector of the weak! " Dom cupped his fist and placed it in his heart and bowed at the Young Mistress. The young mistress is wearing a Pink dress, and a glass shoes paired with her round beautiful face embedded with two big sapphire Eyes and stunning red lips, everyone who saw this young mistress will leave their eyes full of admiration. Her aura alone will left mens go crazy for her, the literal meaning of beauty. " Thank you Senior brother, May I know who are you? " she wiped her tears, erasing her make up. " I am Dominic Stellarium. " he then again bowed. " How can I repay your heroic deed? " " Will you let me ride your carriage and grant me a place to live at the City of Tamfaken? " Shameless! Dom is really Shameless. Riding with a beautiful lady and also the young Mistress of Tamfaken was really a shameful wish to wish. [This man is a shameful one!] but all she could do is to agree, she doesn''t want to make this man angry and rob them. "Yes you can. The city is not far away, it will take us 5 days to travel." she felt a great awe towards this man, reaching Sky level at age of 18 is a great achievement. "My greatest thanks to you Young mistress Francia. " he then bowed showing his gratitude towards the young mistress. ..... " Young mistress, let me show my gratitude by hunting beast for our Lunch. " It was the third day in their travel. They camped in the middle of the forest, and it was noon. They only need to travel 2 more days. " accompany him Roberto. " the young Mistress commanded the Man named Roberto. Roberto is her personal butler and also a cultivator of Earth mid level. The difference of his power from Dominic is Great to the point that he can''t offend this Dom. " yes, Milady! " Roberto bowed at his mistress. " No need. I can hunt alone. You stay here and protect the young Mistress. " After saying this, he head deeper within the Forest. His feelings toward the cute Lizard sitting on his shoulder grows fonder. They were together for a month now. The Lizard has already performed Soul Link and acknowledged Dominic as his master. Soul Link is the act of Linking the Soul of a Human and a beast, only done when the beast acknowledged the human as its master. There are two ways to perform soul link, to forcefully submit the beast to a human by a battle or through a deep love towards each other. When soul link is completed, the Beast and the human can engage in mental conversation. To forcefully submit a beast is just an easy way, but the beast will always feel fear and live its life full of fear. But, through deep feelings towards each other, the beast will feel loved and their relationship is full of colors. But this way is a super hard. Making a beast voluntarily submit to a human is hard, it will take years to make a beast feel love towards human. Beast is always prideful and hate humans and this fact make it harder to make a beast voluntarily submit. But in the case of Dominic and the Red Lizard is different. The Lizard is still a baby and the act of Dominic saving it from death had a great emotional impact on the Lizard. He also feed it everyday and as the time goes, their relationship goes fonder and the Lizard acknowledged him as its master. He gave the Red Lizard a name and it was ''Crocky'' because it looks like a little crocodile. [Crocky, do feel hungry now?] [Yes master! I wanna try a roasted rabbit] [Ok. We will catch some pink rabbits. Their meats are flavorful] [Thank you master! Thank you master! Yehey! Rabbits are the best!] They engaged in a mental conversation while walking. He then started to jump in the shoulder of Dominic. After they walked for 500 meters, they found some pink rabbits. Pink rabbits is Rabbits with pink fur(obviously) and twice the size of a normal rabbit. Dominic take out his Sword and activated his wind steps to conceal his footstep. Then he sneaked behind them and then he catch 20 of them. 20 is enough. 2 for him, 2 for Roberto, 1 For the Young Mistress, 10 for the 5 guards and 5 for Crocky. Even though Crocky is so small, his appetite is great, this made Dominic wonder where did Crocky hide all of the food he ate. They head back to the place where they camped. He activated wind step and walking faster now. Then, on his way he heard a scream and it came from young mistress Francia. He doubled his speed and saw a terrifying scene! 5 Starwolf versus Crocky He doubled his speed and saw a terrifying scene! A pack of Windwolf attacked the Carriage and there is 40 Windwolf in total. The Windwolf is twice the size of a normal Wolf and has a terrifying speed and jaw strength. "ROBERTO!" Francia let out a loud cry. Then Dominic shifted his gaze into a distance and saw Roberto being chomped down by the Windwolfs. Roberto let out a painful cry, tears fell down from his eyes and blood oozed from the wounds in his body. His arms and legs was dissected by the Windwolf''s powerful jaw and Large fangs. He wailed to death. Red veins popped out from the eyes of Francia as she cried and two streams of tears flowed down in her face. The 5 guards died instantly, they did not expect such a terrifying attack would happen. The Windwolf''s level is at Sky stage, par with Dominic. He flicked his finger and Shalltear sword appeared on his right hand. All the wolf stared at Francia, with bloodlust eyes. Francia peed on her short pants and lost consciousness. Dominic shouted and released released a wave of Fantasia that caught the attention of the wolfs. He then activated thunder and Devil''s edge, consuming only 15% of his Fantasia. Crocky is still sitting on his shoulder, watching the scene. Without thinking twice, he charged forth to the Windwolf that is the nearest to him. It took him 5 slashes to kill a sky level Windwolf, only 39 left. He continued to brandished his sword like a madman and killing 7 of them without damaged, only 32 left to kill. Then, he was slashed in the back by the claws of a Windwolf, their speed is par with his speed in Thunder mode. His body was smashed on the ground, but he managed to stand up and ran near Francia. "Wake up young mistress, wake up." His face grew furious and also a bit worried. He can escape with the Young mistress, but a thought suddenly popped out in his mind. [If I ran, there is too much wealth here within the carriages. This is the perfect time to rob the Young mistress and the compensation from saving her would be Hefty and be useful in my travel and schooling.] [But,it will be dangerous if I stay here, but.... Naaah, to kill or be killed!] he then stand, Channeling Fantasia from his body to his sword, with a blink of an eye, he released it and a Wind blade appeared and slashed through the Windwolf. Naturally, it will took him 10 seconds to channel Fantasia because he will gather external Fantasia to help him release the skill. But, he used his stored Fantasia that allowed him to channel only a minute. It cost him 75% of Fantasia leaving only 10% in his body. He killed only half of the remaining Windwolf and only 16 remaining. The effect of thunder and Devil''s edge vanished. He charge and only killed two Windwolfs. The Windwolfs grow furious as they saw their brethren being slashed to death by this man. The leader came, out it has a single horn on its head. It was a Windwolf that gone through a single evolution and now called a Starwolf . Its cultivation level is at Master stage and the Windwolf left is at the peak stage of Sky level. [F*ck] he was caught by the claws of the Starwolf and fly 50 meters away. The starwolf then jumped and pressed its paws on his chest and its nails pierced the chest of Dominic. Dom let out a loud wail, his face filled with fear, the fear of death. His past memories flashed right before his eyes, he is really on deaths door. [Master!] [Crocky, I love you. Go scram and save yourself.] tears flowed out on Dom''s eyes as he stared on the Red Lizard. [MASTER!]Crocky let out a high pitch shrill and his red body emit a Red glow that blinded both Dominic and the Starwolf. The Red glow faded and what appeared is a 14 inch red small spear. [Don''t tell that you are a.....] [Yes, I am a Red Spear Dragon] The terrified look on Dominic''s face was replaced by shock as he recognized that his pet companion is a Red Spear Dragon. Red Spear Dragon is a Lizard with red scales, no wings, and also has a single horn on its forehead. It is a legendary beast belong to dragon class and has a potential to reach Angelic stage. Its main ability is to transform into a spear with the same length of its body and its horn as the spear head, It has the power to pierce everything and can kill a Cultivator even if it is one level ahead than it''s own level. This type of beast is the hardest to tame because if it will be defeated in a battle, it will flee as fast as it could. Luckily Dom made a great impression towards it when he save it from the Boar. That time, the Lizard is just a baby and has no ability to transform, but now he can. Due to the soul link, it reached peak stage of Sky level. It absorbed Dominic''s Fantasia and he only needed days to level up from Sky to Master level. Sharing Fantasia with Crocky is not a problem for Dom. Dom has an abnormal physique, 5x larger Soul than others and 5x Faster Fantasia gathering due to Soul Overload, and this gives Crocky a boost. Seeing the Red Spear Dragon appeared, the Starwolf immediately step backwards 20 meters away. [Master, let me do this job for you] Then Crocky fly towards the Starwolf and leaves a red trail. The eyes of the Starwolf grow wide in shock and it started to flee but Crocky pierced its left hind leg. The Starwolf let out a miserable cry, he didn''t expect this to happen. To encounter a legendary beast, means he will gonna die. Streak of Red light continued to pierce the Starwolf''s body, Crocky is Torturing the Starwolf to death. Blood continue to ooze from Dominic''s wound. He sat and started to meditate. Fantasia entered his body, and slowly clotting his wounds. While his eyes was closed, he heard the miserable wails of the Starwolf and its brethren as Crocky pierced through them. Blood oozed out in the wounds of the Starwolf and its brethren, Rivers of tears flowed from its eyes. Their eyes filled with repentance, they look apologetically at Crocky and regret filled their hearts. They might be alive if they didn''t attack the carriage. Soon, Crocky killed the remaining Windwolf and Dom finsihed healing his wounds. Dominic walked towards the Windwolf killed by Crocky and pierced them with his Shalltear Sword. The Sword absorbed the Fantasia of the Windwolfs. Then, he pierced the Starwolf and let the Sword absorb Fantasia from its soul. A blueish white enveloped Dominic after he absorbed the Fantasia of the Starwolf. "A BREAKTHROUGH" he immediately sit down and perform the Meditation state. Fantasia is churning in his soul and his soul reached its capacity and now overloaded. To level up, one needs to overload his soul with Fantasia to make it expand and reach another level. After 3 hours in meditation state, he opened his eyes and reached another level of Cultivation. "I REACHED MASTER LEVEL!" he was filled with different emotions, happiness, excitement and regrets. Regrets that his master didn''t see him grow stronger. "Wow!" he performed punches in the air and felt that his punches grow stronger and more powerful. "This is Master level eh." He looked at his body and it look like a little bigger. "Ahhhh.. " [ohhhh right. Francia fainted before and she just got wake up.] Then Dominic rushed to the carriage and saw Francia walked out the carriage and she looked like drunk. She walk in zigzag manner. " Dom? Where are you?" She started to walk out and saw nothing. Then she saw a blur targeting her nape. It was too fast and she didn''t react in time. The blur hit her nape and she collapsed. Dominic catch her from falling and said " Sorry young mistress but, its time to rob!" then he let out an evil grin. He place Francia inside the carriage and started to loot. He confiscated the storage ring of the 5 guards and their weapons. He also confiscated Roberto''s storage ring. He then looted the carriages. There is gold bars, Relics(Magical Items), weapons and other tradable things. "I STRUCK GOLD! I''M RICH!" After looting, he checked out Roberto''s ring and the ring of the guards but there is something valuable that belonged to the royal family. Then his eyes emit an aura, aura of lust! "Ahhhhhh! My head hurts" Francia let out a groan full of pain as she waked up. He then get out of the carriage, still dizzy. Then the second time, a blur reached her nape and again she fainted. Then Dominic grabbed her ring. He activated Thunder and Wind step and he carried Francia, then he started to run. With the speed of Master level, effect of thunder and the floating effect of Wind step, he will reach the end of the forest in 45 minutes. In the middle of their travel, Francia waked up and looked at the surroundings as they passed trees too fast. Before she can throw a glance at Dominic,Dom slapped her and again, she became unconscious. [Master, in our race we don''t hurt girls. Girls are precious, if we hurt girls we boys will be called a gay unless we have a valid reason.] Crocky look at Dominic with teasing eyes. [SHUT UP! I ENDURED THE SMELL OF PEE IN HER SHORTS! AND IT ALSO STAINED MY SHIRT! IT HURTS MY NOSE! F*CK!] Then Dominic ignored Crocky and continue to dash throughout the forest. 6 City of Springs [Hey Crocky, we should leave Francia here near the gate and let the guards see her. Right?] Dom is now tying the hands of Francia into a tree near the gate. [Hmmmmm.. That''s a great idea master!] Crocky nodded. Francia''s face is now swollen, to the point that even her father can''t recognize her anymore. The both side of her cheeks received a powerful slap from a Master level, and now the result is horrible. Looking at Francia''s face, Dominic feel sorry for her. [Sorry Francia, i did it for money. Don''t worry, I will repay you when I get rich.] [Crocky, Whip mode!] Then Crocky float mid air and transform into a whip. It is one of Crocky''s skill. [Whip her, just use 20% of your power.]Then after several swoosh, Francia''s body is now full of whip slash and blood oozed out from the wounds. [Crocky check the surroundings if there is someone within the vicinity.] Then Crocky fly, leaving only red trails. After a minute, Crocky came back to Dom''s body. [Found nothing Master.] [Very good Crocky.] Then he activated Thunder and Wind Steps. Then they rushed to the south gate leaving Francia near the North gate. Soon, the guards on roving found Francia. They did not know at first who is that girl, but when they saw the pendant on her neck their eyes grows wide and shout "YOUNG MISTRESS" .... [Ok Crocky, hide inside my shirt.] Dom and Crocky is now infront of the south gate. To enter the city, one needs to pay an entrance fee. The cost is just 10 silver coins. It was not a problem for Dominic, he robbed the bandits and the Young Mistress. He is now rich. As in RICH! HAHAHAHAHA! Only visitors or first timer in the city would pay the entrance fee, residents are exempted in the Entrance fee. Dom handed the 10 silver towards the Guard in the gate. The Guard accepted the silver coins and let Dominic pass the gate. Different buildings welcomed Dominic as he passed through the gate. Taverns, art galleries, Relic Shops, Weapon and Armor shops, Academies and many more building are present in the city. He was just a ''Country Bumpkin'' and this place looks awesome for him compared to the trees in the mountains. [I need to find a place to stay before enrolling to the Academy.] He started to walk. He passed through some big buildings and he examined every single on of them. Rich madames looked at him as if they saw some trash. "Look at that kid, another country bumpkin entered the city. " " look at his clothes, tattered and dirty. Why did the guards allow him to enter the city?" Dominic ignored those Madames and walk straight. Soon he find a 2 storey house. In front of the house, there is a placard with note ''FOR SALE. 20,000 GOLD'' The house is cool and fancy and suitable for Dom and Crocky to live. It has also a hot spring on its backyard. Even though the house is just a second hand, but it is still a nice place to live in and it just cost half of its original price. He looked at his storage ring, and there is only 5000 gold coins. Then, he remembered that he stoled Francia''s ring. He immediately examined it and he was flabbergasted by what''s inside the ring. "50,000 GOLD COINS!" ..... "Ahhhhhhh! Crocky! We got a home to stay! And its so nice." it is a 2 storey house, it has 3 rooms and a rooftop good for star gazing. "Let''s start sorting out the items we robbed." Dominic stared at Crocky and pat its tiny head. Then he opened the ring where he put everything. He placed the rings of the 5 guards, Roberto''s ring, 4 rings of the Bandits, and Francia''s ring on the table. He check the first ring, one of the bandits rings. It contains 5 different types of Relics, 5 normal grade weapon, Black robes, and a bag of low grade Fantasia Pill. Then, he checked the second ring of the bandits. It contains 3 relics, 4 normal grade weapons, Set of Clothes, and a bag of Low grade Fantasia pills. Them he check the other rings except Francia''s ring. He found 8 normal grade weapon, 10 Upper grade weapon, 2 rare weapon, 15 relics, 3 bags of Low grade fantasia pills, and 1 bag of mid grade Fantasia pills. There are a total of 13,000 gold coins, 2,000 silver coins, 19 normal grade weapon, 10 upper grade weapon, 23 different types of relics, 5 bags of low grade Fantasia pills, a set of clothes, and 1 bag of mid grade Fantasia. "WOW! I''M REALLY RICH! I STRUCK GOLD" .... "Mr.Brown is this the total price for the Normal and Upper grade weapons?" Dominic is currently on weapon and armor shop. "Yes,a total of 10,000 coins." Mr.Brown is the owner of the shop. A white haired stout old man. The store is big, and this store is the most famous and largest weapon shop in the city of Tamfaken. "Deal!" Dominic agreed with 10,000 gold coins, it is enough for his daily life expenses and for his schooling. He immediately leave, he put the gold coins in the ring specified for coins only. He has now a total of 53,000 gold coins. 30,000 from Francia''s ring, 13,000 from the other rings and 10,000 from sold weapons. His face can''t be drawn, he is smiling so wide to the point that it nearly reached his ears. His heart beats so fast, and his blood boiled inside. [CROCKY.. WE''RE RICH! I WILL TREAT YOU WITH VARIOUS TYPE OF FOODS.] [YES! I LOVE YOU MASTER! YOU''RE THE BEST!] Crocky formed a thumbs up with his Lizard fingers. ..... "Good Afternoon Mr.Raleigh I am Dominic and will you check out this Relics?" Dominic is now ln the other store, selling his relics. Mr.Raleigh is a middle age man with a mascular body and the owner of Relic shop. The aura of this man is full of dominance, just talking to him will make you shiver. "ohhhh.This relics are all 1 star. Here, buy this Item identifier. Using this item, you will be able to know the usage, instruction of how to use and level of a certain Relic or item." Mr.Raleigh is holding a small item that looks like a magnifying glass. Dominic tried this item on a relic. Name: Shield Pendant Usage: when attacked, a shield will appear covering the whole body. It can absorb a full attack of an Earth level cultivator or beast. One time usage. Instruction: Automatic "Ohhhhhhh! Mr.Raleigh, how much is this Item Identifier?" Dominic''s eyes shined in excitement. "Hey men, lets make a deal. All this relics you brought will be traded for this Item Identifier. Deal? " "DEAL!" "Then the deal is closed. Here is you Item Identifier." Mr.Raleigh handed the Item Identifier to Dominic. "Bye Mr.Raleigh." ... 7 First day of school A week has passed and Dominic completed his application for residency. He already enrolled himself in the Academy He choose the most prestigious school in Tamfaken and in the Whole kingdom of Trylon. Many students from other Cities enrolled here, cities that foreign to Dominic. The name of the Academy is ''Cresent Moon Institute''. Today is the first day of his classes. It is now January 1122 AD. The school required the students to live there until the whole school year is finished. It is a nine month school period and giving its students 3 months for vacation. "Uncle Zhang please take care of my house, I will be back after the school is done. Here is my payment for 9 months." He gave 1,000 gold coins to uncle Zhang. "This is a huge amount Dom, I can''t accept this, You know that 200 gold coins is enough for 9 months right?" Uncle Zhang was flabbergasted by the amount Dominic handed to him. "No uncle Zhang, accept this as my gift to show my gratitude towards you. You help me getting my residency here and you are also good to me. So, please accept this money." Dominic tapped the shoulder of Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang is his neighbor, he is a man on his fifties and a good businessman. Even though he is just a small entity in the business world, but he can get a profit of 800 gold coins a year. He was selling weapons and armors. He is just small time compared the big business of Mr.Brown. Uncle Zhang has a store in his first floor and he live on the second. His wife is already dead and his child is working in the Kingdom as an Army Commander. "Uncle Zhang, I will now go to school. See you in 9 months! Bye!" Dom ran outside his house, leaving behind Uncle Zhang. It is 5 kilometers away from his house to the Cresent Moon Institute, he need to go on a Dimensional portal. Dimensional portal can teleport a person to different places within the city only. To activate it, one needs to insert a gold coin on the slot and Select the place where he/she will go. Dominic selected Cresent Moon Institute in the list and insert a gold coin and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the most prestigious school around the Kingdom of Trylon, The Cresent moon Institute. He entered the gate and with Crockyhiding in his sleeve. There are tall building, the tallest is 4 storey. There is also too many student rushing in the gate and going to the covered court. The school is too big. The area is almost 50 Km sq. The covered court is like an arena, it can hold more than a Hundred thousand people. 2nd year students and above are separated from the freshmens. Dom found a vacant chair and sit there. After sitting for a couple of minutes, a man wearing a tuxedo stand in the podium. "Good Morning everyone,especially to our freshmens. I am Francis Fontalla the Principal of this institute." ... After the Principal finished his speech, the students get to their perspective classroom. Dominic headed to his classroom ''Class 1-H''. Every classroom has 150 students. There is 8 different classes in First year and he is on the Class-H or class of Trashes. Class H students is the students who got the lowest score in the entrance exam. The entrance exam consist of Soul capacity, Fantasia gathering speed, combat power and Examination test. He performed low because he don''t want to let the teacher knows that he is stronger than them. He concealed his power and let the examiners graded his soul level as ''Mortal Mid stage'' He has the lowest combat ability on the Class 1-H because most of his Classmates are on Mortal level Peak stage. He entered the room and even his classmate looked at him lowly. "He is the famous Mortal level mid stage right? Hahaha. Lower than us eh?" "If we are called weak, then he is weaker! Yuck!A big YUCK! " All of the students started a conversation with each other. Their topic was the weakest class 1 student, Dominic. [Crocky, they believed that I am weak. They don''t know that I am stronger than the strongest teacher here! Hahahaha] He did not do anything to counter the students, instead, he walk pass through them and sit at the end row of the chairs. After a couple of minutes, the door creaked and a man appeared. The students sit immediately on their chairs when they saw the man. The man headed directly at the teacher''s table. He placed the book that he is holding and started to talk. "I am Mike Froilan. I am you homeroom teacher. I am the one assigned to make you stronger." ..... "Ok class,Dismissed" Mike taught the student about basics on Cultivation. Dominic is already a Master in meditation, he just sleep throughout the class. He became the topic of students. "He even sleep at class even though he''s the weakest. Tsk tsk. What an idiot" .... Before coming to school, he realized that his Cultivation and Sword Comprehension has a great gap with others on his age. He realized that his master is just messing with him. [He even said I''m an idiot and I trained hard just to make myself fit with other teenagers to find out that I am overpowered than the others of my age. D*mn you Master!] The teenagers of his age is just Mortal level or Earth level, no one reached Master level at 18. The Sword Master of his age has Sword comprehension level 1 or 2, there is some genius that reached 3 but no one reached 4. His blood boiled, he received too much insult from his master because he is weak and now realized that he is strong. But after awhile he realized why his master did that. His master did that to make him work hard and surpass his limits. Now, he thanked his master for doing that. He is now walking around the school, walking aimlessly. He reached a secluded place he turned around and then start walking back. Then, a bunch of student from Class 1-A blocked his way. "Ohhhhhhh, if it isn''t Dominic Stellarium from Class-H. The weakest! HAHAHAHHA" The student who blocked his way laughed. Based on their looks they''re on Earth level. "Hey weakling, show us your puny strength. Fight us, the winner will receive 10,000 gold. If you disagree, then hand over your 10,000 gold or you will die on the spot." The one who is talking seems to be the leader of the Gang. He is on aEarth level Peak stage. That''s why he is confident on bullying a mere mortal mid stage. "I agree." without hesitation he agreed immediately. [Crocky, someone is donating us 10,000 gold! Wow!] he was scared outside but he is really excited inside. [Master, can I have a big roasted turkey?] [Yeah sure.] "Ohhhhh. You agreed immediately, do you think you will be able to defeat me?" "Maybe? " then he shrugged his shoulders. " INSOLENT! " The Earth Level Peak stage student''s eyes is filled with rage and activated a booster skill. "Wind''s Blessing, Activate!" then a gust of wind swirled around his body. "Wow, big brother. You really are too strong! Easy 10k for us . HAHAHAHAHA " Then they started to laugh. " I will give you an upper hand, weakling. You can hit me once, just once before we start of fight." Them he started to tap his face, taunting Dominic. "Ok! " Then he activated Thunder. He didn''t give time the Earth level peak Stage brat to react and he dashed in front of him and slap him on his face. He flew 500 meters away and his body is heading to the forest. He smashed on some trees and some of his bones broke. "hey, give this pill to him. It will relieve pain and will give you sometime to bring him to the Clinic. And thank you for your Donation." he threw a pill towards the one who said ''Easy 10k for us'' and he let out an evil grin. Then he get the bag of coins and put it in his storage rings. The gang members was flabbergasted and stared at Dominic for sometime. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? SAVE YOU BIG BROTHER NOW! "Dominic shouted and it rang to their ears and then they came back to their senses. They ran with all their might, and soon they vanished on Dominic''s sight. " Ohhhh. Its evening now. Let''s go Crocky, I will gonna find where my dorm is." 8 Dorm 1267 "This must be my dorm." Dom is standing infront of a small house. There is 2 key in his hand, one is the original and the other is a duplicate. In the key, there is a tag written ''1267''. "This must be it!" He inserted the key and opened the door. "CREEAAAAAK" He smiled as he entered. Then what he saw is something unbelievable. He saw a girl wearing nothing! The girl was shocked and she stared at him. Dominic is also in the state where he can''t move he only stared at her. For 2 second they only stared each other, then Dominic''s gaze slowly goes downward to her chest area. The girl realized the situation and came back to her senses. "PERVERT!" She let out a loud scream. "No.... Stop screaming!" Dominic panick at the moment, his heart is racing, it beats too fast. It is his first time seeing a woman''s naked body. "GET OUT!" Then the girl throw a bag full of books and it landed on Dominic''s face and he flew out the door and landed 5 meters away from the door and he smashed his back on a tree. His nose bleed due to the impact. [So strong!] Dominic can''t help but to admire the girl. [She has an angelic face, slender body, voluptuous chest and a hairy.... Fck forget about it!] He get up and knock the door. "Hey miss... Uhmmmm. I also live here at Dorm 1267..will you let me enter?" "Yes you can." He insert the key in the keyhole and twist it and open the door. "I am Dominic, I am at Mortal Mid Stage. I am a student of Class 1-H." "Ohhhhhh. The Famous weakest 1st year student and the Strongest 1st year student is on the same dorm! Wonderful! They gave me a weak student tp babu sit. Ohhhh... By the way I''m Andrea Ferron." After insulting Dominic she extended her hands. Then Dominic grabbed it and then they shake hands. [Ughh. So soft.] Dom closed his eyes as he feel every part of her hand. "Hey man! Get off!" Andrea grabbed her hands away. "Ohhhhh. Sorry." Dom feel embarrassed and he blushed. "I will train you better, so you can be qualified on being a Class 1-A student. Its better if we are on the same class. By the way, in another month, there is a Battle examination. In this examination, if you do better you can be transferred to Class 1-A." Andrea sit in the couch and also Dominic. "No need. I can be a class 1-A student next month." Feel clasped his right fist and placed it in his heart. "Ohhhhh! Ok then. Just don''t disturb me.... Ok?" "Yes!" "Then I will sleep now. My room is in room 1 and yours is at room 2." Then andrea entered the room 1. [Crocky, she''s beautiful right?] His gazed fllowed her and he is still staring at the Door. [I don''t know. For me that Gecko in the ceiling looks more attractive than her.]then Crocky pointed a Gecko in the Ceilling and licked his lips. [BASTARD! lets head to the nearest restaurant and eat our dinner.] [Andrea? Is she that Andrea 8 years ago? Naaaah forget it, Andrea is a common name. I will know soon but i won''t rush things.] .... "Food paradise?" Dominic stared at the sign above the door. The place looks so fancy and there is less students here, the majority of their customers is the teachers. Then he entered the Restaurant and find a vacant table. He found one and he sit on the chair. A waiter handed him the menu. "I want this and this and this and this two of this roasted chicken! And your Most expensive wine. Give me two glass." he pointed too many dishes and he wanted to have 1 turkey for Crocky but there is none so Chicken is their second choice. "Two glass sir?" The waiter is confused. The only customer is Dominic but he wanted two glass? "Yes! " ..... "Here is all of your order sir." The other customers stared at the waiter as he deliver the foods and the wine. The wine is the most famous around the world andit taste the best. The customers looked at Dominic as the waiter placed the bottle of wine in Dominic''s table. Dominic poured the wine in the two wine glasses. "I wish I can date that man but our age gap is too great. " said by the 200 years old female teacher. She looks like in her 30''s. Dominic ignored them and called Crocky. " Crocky come out now. " A 15 inches Red lizard come out from his sleeves and jumped in the table. " Cheers Crocky!" he extended his Wine glass to Crocky. "Roaaar." Crocky hold the wine glass with his two paws and extended it to cheers with Dominic. "A beast? A magical beast? But low grade? The wine is wasted my brothers." A student looked at Crocky with envy. Everyone''s attention is concentrated on Crocky. Crocky was a bit afraid, he felt that this people wanted to eat him. [Do I look that handsome master? That even boys admire me?]Crocky stroked his chin while talking as if he have a beard. [Idiot! They admire you from drinking that wine. Eat fast and we will head back to our dorm.] [Yes master!] After eating, he called the waiter. "Yes?" "Bill please. " Then the waiter give him a piece of paper. " Ohhhh. 5000 gold coins... WHAT?" His facial expression can''t be drawn on a paper. It looks like his face is distorted. "Ohhhh boy, he has no mone to pay!" "Let him sweep the floor and wash dishes until he dies. HAHAHAHAHA. " Laughter rang inside the restaurant. They all looked at Dominic like they''re looking at a clown. " I though I was going to pay 10000 gold coins, TSK. HOW CHEAP!" He intended to shout the last part so that everyone can hear it. The expression in their faces was suddenly replaced by shock when they heard him said that. He put an act to perform a massive face-slapping event. "Here, take this 6000 gold coins. Take the 1000 gold coins as you tip. " Dominic smiled at the waiter. "Thank you Young Lord!" The waiter head back to the kitchen immediately. "Crocky, hop on my shoulder now. " then Crocky hopped on his shoulder immediately. [Is my acting good or bad?] [It looks ok for me but...] [But what?] [It look gross] [You better shut up your mouth!] [But you asked me a question, how Can I shut up my mouth?] [....] he choose not to talk anymore and he ignored Crocky. ..... Dom is walking in the middle of the night. Before he reached the dorm, he was blocked by a bunch of mens, 13 of them. "Hey, is this the Man you said that harassed our goddess?" All of them have mask in their faces. "Yes Brother, Andrea scream ''Pervert'' and this man flew out from the door." said by the other Man. "Surround him. You dared to harass our goddess? Prepare to suffer, we will make you bedridden for a couple of months." The man take out a sword from his weapon ring. All of the other man also took out weapon''s from their weapon ring. "Hey brother, I am only at Mortal mid stage. Spare my life, I don''t want to die." Dominic kneeled in front of the man and plead. [In this way I will be able to win the best actor awards for this year!] "Mortal level? So weak! Teach him lessons guys! Attack him now!" Dominic take 1 step backward, he flicked his hands and Shalltear sword appeared. The attackers brandished their swords and Dominic countered them. The swords that Clashed with the Shalltear sword was cutted cleanly. He kicked and punch, all of them that attack was caught off guard. They didn''t expect him to be this strong. He grabbed the one called''Brother'' in the collar and pulled its mask. "Ohhhhh. Class 2-A students. Most of you are Sky level early stage, right?" The man nodded, after he nod a hand smashed into his face, Dominic slapped him. "So, you''re thinking that I peeked on Andrea?" he nodded again, but he received nothing but a slap. "So you are just powerful just like Andrea? " he nodded again, and a hand slapped him again. His right face is now swelling and blood came out from his mouth. " Every nod is equivalent to 1 slap. Answer my questions! Do you want to die? " Dominic''s face is furious, he looked likea demon. " No.. " The so called brother peed in his pants. A fast blur hit his face again and he fainted. " Go scram! Dare to insult me agaim and I will kill you all!" ..... [Hey Crocky, did I act tough?] [Hmmmmm] Crocky fell asleep into his shoulder. Then Dominic entered his room and take a shower. After taking a shower, he wear his pajamas and lied on bed. "Ahhhhh! Bullies got bullied by me. They really thought I am weak but, I am strong. Stronger than my Homeroom teacher.Hahahahahaha" 9 Light Crest Alliance Morning arrived. Rays of light passed through the window and hit Dominic directly on eyes. "Ahhhhhh.so bright." he pulled his blanket and covered his whole body with it. *Knock knock knock "Dom, Wake up! Its already 6:30, Time to go to school. " Andrea shouted from the outside. After hearing this, his eyes became wide open and rush to the shower room and take his bath. " Andrea, that wine is my leftover at the Food Paradise. It was their most expensive wine. Drink it. It has no poison, promise" Dom is now on his room, changing into his uniform. "The most expensive wine in the paradise? The Grape vine wine? You must be rich! " Andrea admired Dominic for being generous. " Not that much, I just inherit some fortune." By this time, Dominic came out from the door. "Lets go to school now." "Yeah, lemme finish this wine you gave me. " .... " Is that Andrea? And that one is Dominic right? What a sweet couple. The weakest student and the strongest student are dating! HAHAHAHAHA. Hilarious" "I heard they''re engaged!" "Andrea will gonna be his Knight in Shining dress! HAHAHAHAHAHA." "Dominic must be rich and Andrea is a gold digger?" "Yeah bro. I heard Dominic bought the Grape Wine Vine yesterday evening at the Food Paradise. " " Really? Andrea struck gold men!" ..... "Ignore them Dom. Prove them that you''re strong. Keep working. Bye, this is my Classroom. See you this afternoon." Then they parted ways. [I''ll gonna skip class and go to the library.] ..... "Ahhhhh. So demons reigns Zitonia 1122 years ago? that''s why there is AD after the year. hmmmm" Dom is reading a book about the history of Zitonia. Demons dominate the entire Zitonia, making humans as their slaves. Until one day, a revolutionary army lead by the First King of Trylon, King Ezekiel Dorrion. After the end of King Ezekiel the Kingdom of Trylon is splitted into 4 Kingdoms. The Kingdom of Mesanoia ,The Kingdom of Helanos, The Kingdom of Lantinos and The kingdom of Trylon. This four kingdoms is on the same alliance, Light Crest Alliance. Kingdoms are ruling the Zitonia while suppressing Demons on a Small continent. Ruins are scattered everywhere in the Planet of Zitonia, especially in the continent of old demons. Continent of old Demons is the Capital of Demons 1000 years back, but now Old Demons continent is where the Kingdom of Mesanoia lies. "Ohhhhh. Ruins have hidden treasure right? Ohhhh Crocky, if we go there, WE WILL GONNA BE RICHER! " He was not able to suppressed his emotions and he shouted at the library. " SSSHHHHHHHHHHH." Everyone stared at him with killing intent in their eyes. Dominic looked down, embarrassed, then he continue to read more books. Sects are created aside from Kingdoms. Major sects is as large as a city and small sect are smaller. Sects help a cultivator to be stronger. There are sect that is under the the Light Crest alliance and belonged to the Military power of the four kingdoms. There are Sects that is separated from kingdoms, they are called independent Sects. This sects doesn''t belong to any kingdom and operate individually. These sect are enemies of the kingdom. Most of the sect member of individual sects have a bad experience towards the kingdom and hold a grudge against it. There are many sects that scattered but the Light Crest has only 4 major sects. Every kingdom holds one sect. The Kingdom of Trylon have Cresent Moon sect, The Kingdom of Mesanoia have Sword''s Path Sect, The Kingdom of Latinos have Water Bending Sect,and The Kingdom of Helanos have Light of the Sun sect. These 4 major sect produces Grandmaster level warrior for the Kingdom. "Hmmmmm. I think I''ll gonna join one after I graduate here." Then Dominic keep on reading books. ... "Ohhhhhh. Its already four pm eh? There''s no useful skills here. I shall find one tomorrow, even rare skill would do." He stand up and carried his books to return them into the bookshelf. After he returned them, he immediately leave the Library. "Ohhhhhh. Dominic! What a coincidence! I''m going to the Food paradise to eat my dinner, come and join me." The library is near their dorm if they use the 6th street. When going to school, main street is more convenient than using other streets. "Ohhhhh! Ok." [Our relationship is progressing! This must be fate! Act cool Dominic. ACT COOL. " His emotions inside can''t be suppressed, his blood boil and he smiled like an idiot. " What are you smiling there? Move faster, you weak creature! Hahahahhaa" Andrea teased Dominic. "Naaaaah! Don''t tease me like that Andrea." ..... "The foods in this restaurant is really delicious. Food Paradise really values its costumer and they even have less price than other restaurant outside." Andrea finished a plate of food. Dom nodded and stared at the window. [Is she really that girl 8 years ago?] "Why are you staring at the painting? Andrea asked him. "Painting? I''m staring at window." "That''s a painting you know." "Ah?.....Ohhh it is really a painting! its so realistic! wow!" Dominic checked it in every angle and it seems so realistic. It is really a painting! The painting is really good that if you don''t insect it carefully, you will think that it is a real thing. " Are you done eating Dom? Its getting late lets head back to our dorm." Andrea looked outside and leaning through the window. "Andrea, that is a painting right?" Dominic pointed at the window. "Ehh? You really think this is a window? HAHAHAHHA YOU''RE HILARIOUS MEN! this is a real window!" Andrea is holding her tummy as she laugh. "Ah! Damm!t Andrea...gonna head back to the dorm first." Then Dominic walked out the door and crossed the road and walked into their dorm. "where did that man live? In the mountains? Hahahahhaa." Andrea can''t stop laughing. The scene lingers in her brain and she still smiled as she remembered it. "Haaaaaist. He''s too cute when he made that face..... NO! No no no no... He''s ugly!" She blushed. "Forget about it. Gonna sleep now." Then Andrea leave the restaurant and then head back to their dorm and sleep immediately. 10 Grimoire of Shadows Two weeks have passed but Dominic entered class only 4 times. His classmates and other students continued on berating and insulting him. He doesn''t give a sh!t about that and continue to live his daily life. He stayed in the library for the whole day. Andrea always cooks for him and he will just give her money to buy foods for them. "Its been days but I still haven''t found any useful skill. I only have 7 skills in total, 4 are active and 3 is passive. Haaaaist. " Dominic is wandering around the library, hoping to find a book full of useful skills. "The only skills I got is Rapid reading and Translation, both are passive. Books here have a different language, luckily, I happened to read the book about literature and found the paper containing the skill in one of the pages of that book." The skill Translation and Rapid Reading really helped him a lot in reading. "Ohhh that book looks interesting." He found a black old book, older than his great great great grandfather. It is covered with dirt, to the point that it is unreadable anymore. He picked the book and tried to wipe the cover page, but he failed to wipe it out. "Huh? So weird." he is confused. He started to find one private room and after a minute he found one and he entered immediately. He opened the cover and only 1 page with ancient letters welcomed him and the other pages are blank. The words are not understandable to a normal person unless he/she is a litterateur. Luckily, Dom found the skill Translation paired with Rapid reading that allows him to read ancient language and read books within minutes instead of weeks. "This is the Grimoire of Shadow. It is a skill contained by Shadow skills. To have full control in this grimoire, one needs to absorb the soul of a living creature. There is only one way to absorb a soul, to use Shalltear sword. Every soul absorbed, there is a word will appear in the book about a skill." "Shalltear sword eh? This book is awesome! I will kill and kill and kill! I''ll gonna go on killing spree, but sadly, I can''t get out of the academy''s vicinity. Tsk. I''ll gonna wait for 8 months." He lamented. "Ohhhhh!" The Shalltear sword churned inside the Weapon Ring and it feels like its gonna burst. [Fvck, its gonna burst!] Dominic ran outside with the Grimoire in his hands. He activated Thunder and ran through the secluded forest. The students saw him was shocked. "Why does he looked so strong yet he is so weak? Arrghhhh... Did the Evaluator made some mistake?" "He looked awesome while covered in Thunder. Even if I tell other girls, they won''t believe in me. He looks cute too." ..... Soon as he reached the forest, the Weapon ring burst with a loud boom and the Shalltear sword burst out. It flew in the air and the Grimoire in his hands flew beside the Shalltear sword. Both of them fly around Dominic and both of them released a black light. They encircled Dominic with a high speed. Then, two pair of black strings entangled both of his hands and he pulled it and the Grimoire of Shadow flew into his left and Shalltear sword flew into his right. [Two souls has perfectly connected.] "Huh? two souls?" He is now confused. "Hello!" "WOAH!" A little girl with wings and dressed in a black dress appeared in front of him. "What are you?" he moved backward away from the little girl. "I''m Mona. A shadow pixie. I am here to assist you in using the Grimoire of Shadows and Shalltear sword. My soul is severed in two and stored in the Grimoire of Shadows and Shalltear sword. "We are demon''s enemy. We really hate how they killed humans so we fight back. Using our power and Helping humans to gain skills. But they annihilated our race and there are some survived but to continue living, we severed our soul into two and stored it on weapons and grimoire. "As a Shadow pixie, I asked for a soul to replenish my power, in order to help you fighting demons or other things you want to do. "Other pixies have their own affinities and have different requirements to activate their grimoires. "Now that this two is soul bound to you, you are the only one who can use this grimoire and Shalltear sword. " Pixie flew and landed into his shoulder. "Ahhhh! So, you will help me? I read in grimoire that it contains skills? What are those?" Dom asked. "Secret. But it contains movement skills, binding skills, healing skills, offensive skills, and defensive skills." Mona is flying around him. "Ahhhh! Ok. Crocky come out and meet Pixie." Then Crocky slithered out of his shirt. He grows into full two meters and his limbs are severed from his body and he can fly without activating is skills. "Hello Mona, I''m Crocky. Nice meeting you!" Crocky greeted Mona. "A RED FLASH DRAGON!" Mona flew into Crocky''s back and mounted him. "Can I mount him, Master?" Mona asked with eyes filled with excitement. "Go ask Crocky. If he will agree, then go and suit yourself." Dom patted Crocky''s head. "Crocky, Can I ride your back?" Mona gave Crocky a pitiful stare. "Yeah... Sure why not." [D@mn you master! A mighty Dragon mounted by a puny little creature? Arrrrgh!]Crocky gave Dom a death stare. Dominic cannot help but to at Crocky''s situation. "Go at full speed Crocky!" Then they flew around the forest. [So if the Grimoire of Shadows will absorb the soul, then I won''t be able to absorb Fantasia directly?] [Yes master!] Mona replied. [Oh we can engage in mental conversation?] He felt nervous. What if Mona heard his convo with Crocky? [Yes master!] though Mona is still riding Crocky''s back and flying out there, she engaged in mental conversation with Dominic. [So you heard my mental conversation with Crocky?] Cold sweat dripping down his face. He was afraid. What if she will kill Crocky because of that? She is a shadow pixie after all. Shadow means evil and she also asked for the soul to replenish her power. So, therefore, she has an evil nature. Dom is afraid of this situation. [No master. Pet Channel is different from my channel. Crocky''s conversation is on channel one while our conversation is on channel 2. Both of us can''t read your thoughts. You can talk to us at the same time if you want, our channel will connect and be able to engage in mental conversation with you at the same time.] [Ahhhhh. Ok thank you, Mona] .... "Ohhhhh. You remembered the man who robbed you?" A man wearing a polo and slacks paired with black shoes is talking to a girl wearing a red dress. "Yes, father. His name Is Dominic Stellarium."The girl is Francia Bridette and the man is Leonardo Bridette, his father and Lord of the city of Tamfaken. Tears flowed out of her face. She still remembers how miserable her state when the guards found her. A man who saved her also hurt her and robbed her at the same time. "That man? He is living here in the city and he is studying in Cresent Moon institute. I''ll ask King Cyril to kill him." Leonardo is thinking of ways how to eradicate that man. "Father, I beg you. Just exile him from the kingdom. Even though he robbed me, I still owe him my life. He saved me twice. So, I will not ask you to kill him, just kick him out from the Kingdom." tears is still flowing from her eyes. Leonardo hugged her and said "Ok ok. Don''t cry now, little girl. Everything will be fine." ..... "Demons is being suppressed in a small continent? Defeated long ago by humans?" Mona was shocked. "Yes. That''s true. Humans defeated demons 1122 years ago. There is no actual date of the when humans defeated demons. The First year after demons are when the Kingdom of Trylon was built. it was on January 1, 0000" Dominic explained. They are now in the dorm. Mona is flying around the room, looking at new things in her eyes. She is alive for 2000 years now but stored in the Grimoire of Shadows and Shalltear sword for almost 1,500 years. That''s why she is really amazed by the new equipment and objects in this era. It was still afternoon so Andrea is still at school. If she happens to see this, she will be shocked and will be suspicious about the Strength of Dominic. Dom has a spare weapon ring, robbed from the bandits. He used it to store the Grimoire of Shadows and Shalltear sword. Even though Grimoire of Shadows is a book, it is considered a weapon because it contains powerful skills. "Mona. When we are outside this dorm, hide in the pocket of my polo. Don''t come out unless necessary things happen. "Okay." ... "Lord Leonardo. Your request is granted. That man will be exile tomorrow and he is banned in the Light Crest Alliance.".... 11 Exiled The morning was wonderful. The sun is slowly rising in the great blue sky accompanied by a cool wind breeze, but there was something odd, the sound of hooves. "What''s going on? Horses? Early in the morning?" he immediately woke up and washed his face and eat a mouth freshener candy. He peeked at his window and saw around 50 Knights in silver armour. They are now in front of dorm 1267. [What are the Royals doing here?] Only royals have the privilege to own a large imperial army. While the students and teachers gathered around. "What are they doing in dorm 1267? Will they give Andrea a special training?" "Yeah, maybe. It is impossible if they have some business with Dominic? That weak @sshole." "Ohhhh Is Andrea a royalty? Or she is engaged with some royalty? With that beauty, even royalty will go crazy just being touched by her. Haaaist" "Ohhh my. Maybe Dominic offended a royalty and they will going to arrest him?" "How can a Mortal level cultivator offend a Royalty?" ... Tot tot torot tot tot torot tot tot torotot tot tot tot The sound of a trumpet rang around the academy. The trumpet sounded like welcoming a royalty. "Here comes Lord Leonardo. Pay respect and kneel before him." A man wearing blue robe shouted loudly. All the teachers and students surrounding Lord Leonardo kneeled immediately. "Dominic Stellarium, the king summoned you to the court."The blue-robed man stated. This announcement shocked Dom. He thought that royals have business with Andrea. He immediately got out of his room and saw Andrea standing outside, peeking at the window. "What have you done?" Andrea asked Dom "I''m also confused. Neither of us knows what is the business of royals with me," he answered Andrea with a confused face. He opened the door and all the eyes present there locked into him. If their gaze can burn, Dominic is reduced to ashes the time he got out from the door. "King Cyril sentenced you to be exiled from the Kingdom for the crimes you have done." Lord Leonardo stated. "Huh exiled?" "Crimes?" "how can a Mortal level commit crimes resulting to be exiled?" There was a big commotion among the audience. "SILENCE!" The Blue robed man roared in anger. Everyone shut their mouths. Cold sweat dripping down Dom''s face, trying to remember what is the crime he did. After crushing his brain for an answer, he remembered the incident with Francia. [Holy Cow! Mona and Crocky!] he immediately engaged with a mental conversation with his two companions. [Yes master.] The both of them is ready to attack. [Get this weapon ring. It contains the Grimoire, Shalltear sword, and the item identifier. Get away from here. I will be exiled and my items will be confiscated. Get that ring away from here and follow me from the distance. Understood?] Dom take off his ring and put it in his pocket. Everyone saw what he did. The Blue robed man stared at him with deadly eyes. [But master...] Crocky is still hesitating to do this plan. [No buts. Crocky, crawl into my pocket and let Mona mount you. When I say now, you will escape.] His hands are trembling, a cold sweat covered his face and his body shivers. "You will be exiled because you hurt and robbed Miss Francia. You are supposed to receive a death penalty, but you saved her twice from Earth level Bandits, and a pack of Sky level Windwolfs and its Leader, A Master level Starwolf. For doing such things you should have received a great fortune, but you intend to rob and hurt the Young Mistress. Therefore, you will be exiled from the Kingdom and Banned from the Light Crest Alliance and all of your items will be confiscated. This is the arrest warrant signed by Cyril the Third. " After the Blue robed Man done talking. The guards arrested Dominic. " NOW!" A red streak flew out of his pocket. All of them noticed it but they ignored it. Their attention is talking about how powerful Dominic was. "Dom..... " Andrea did nothing and she just peeked through her window. ..... "Hey! Get off your hands. I will not go to fight or anything else!" Dom is being dragged out of the kingdom. Many citizens saw him, including Uncle Zhang. "Dom..." Uncle Zhang felt a deep pain in his heart. Dom is really good towards him and their relationship is also good. "So the goods he sold to me is...." Mr.Brown covered his mouth immediately. It will gonna be a big problem if this matter slips out of his mouth. ..... [Crocky, Mona. Where are you?] He is now in the middle of the forest, far far far away from the kingdom. King Cyril ordered his troops to throw Dom into the Continent of Sisdomia. It is home of magical beast. The continent has Great mountains, vast forest, Crystal Clear rivers, cool temperature, Fresh air, and Calming nature. The only downside in this continent is Magical Beasts. The level needed to barely survive this Continent is Grandmaster Level. There is still Sky and Master level but they''re in few numbers and always in a group. This is a home of Grandmaster and up Beasts, it even reaches Celestial Level. This place produces thick Fantasia that made the air Fresher that in Limonsito mountain range. Dom didn''t reach the said requirements. He needs to rely more on Mona and Crocky. He won''t survive without the Grimoire and Shalltear sword. Before acquiring skills, he needs to level up to Grandmaster level. After levelling up, he will connect the Shalltear sword to the Grimoire to acquire skills and power up Mona. [Master!] Both of them shout in unison. [Ohhhh. There you are. Are you ok? Where''s the ring?] [Here Master.] Mona handed the ring over, Dominic. Immediately, after he received the ring, he summoned the Grimoire and Shall tear Sword with a flick of his hands. The Shalltear and Grimoire floated in the air. The Grimoire is enveloped in shadows and emitting death''s aura. Everything he gained from robbing is confiscated by the Kingdom. Weapon, Storage rings, and money. He is flat broke right now with even a single penny left. It is still afternoon, so there is still a time to hunt beast for food and Fantasia gathering, "The both of you, follow me but prepare to engage into a fight," Dom speaks loudly. He did not engage in mental convo because no one is around. They go deeper through the forest. Sun rays pass through the leaves of big old oak trees that made the scenery even beautiful. The wind blew the leaves and producing a soft rustle that gives a calming aura. Accompanied by the chirps of the birds staying on the branches. The chirping continues, it goes louder and louder, and deeper. The sweet chirping of the little birds turned into the howl of the vicious man-eating beast. "A Victorian Eagle!" He remembered what this thing is. It is the Victorian eagle. It is 20x bigger than a messenger eagle (Philippine Eagle) and is in the top of the Food chain in the master level division. It always hunts in a pack. The pack has more than 10 Victorian Eagle. "Crocky! Mona! Prepare for a fight! By the way, Mona, can you fight?" The adrenaline rush in Dominic suddenly vanished when he asked that question. "No! You didn''t unlock skills that I can use." Mona answered in a teasing manner. " what the hell! CROCKY! SKILL ACTIVATE! SPEAR MODE!" Dominic flicked his hands and Shalltear sword immediately appeared in his hands. "ROOAAAR!" Crocky let out a cute growl. He doesn''t have any limbs now and he looked like a Chinese Dragon. His body emits a red glow and transformed into a little spear ( it is like a Yaka Arrow. The one that Yondu used in the Guardian of the Galaxy). The Victorian Eagles let out a loud cry and flew towards Dominic at a high speed. 11 Victorian eagle dashed and lock their attacks to Dominic. Crocky was ignored by the Victorian eagles. "NOW!" Then Crocky pierced them one by one, he targeted the heart but it misses. The reaction speed and the speed of the Victorian eagle is so high. He instead changes his attack to the wings and managed to break them. "come and get me chickens." 12 Blood Moon sec "Come and get me chickens." Dom taunted the Victorian eagle and he performed a chicken dance. The Victorian eagle roared in anger. They feel insulted. Their eyes turned bloodshot red. If their gazes can burn someone, Dom turned to ashes long ago. One by one, Victorian Eagle rushed and attacked him.They fly like an arrow and the beak as the arrowhead. They fly at a high speed, targeting Dom. He simply activated Thunder to avoid them. Even with Thunder activated, he barely avoids every beak pecking on him. The Victorian eagle realized that their direct attack is useless. They formed a circle with Dominic inside. They spread their wings and channeled fantasia. After reading countless books about monsters, Dominic already knows what they''re doing. They are performing one of their skill, Whirlwind. It is a channeling skill that takes 12 seconds to activate. This skill will produce 2 whirlwinds after channeling. Dom already knew how to counter this attack. "Wind Blade Secret art: 360 degrees slash!" He brandished his sword 360 degrees and a ring Wind blade appeared with Dominic inside. The Wind blade became larger as it go farther from the caster.The whirlwind clashed with the Wind Blade secret art. Both of the skills dissipated after the clash. "Crocky! NOW!" Then a red light pierced their cores one by one. The Victorian Chickens.. I mean Eagles, lost the life in their eyes and fell to the ground. Their lifeless body is pierced with Shalltear sword one by one. Their fantasias accumulated from years of natural cultivating is stoled by Dominic. "Naaaah. It only gives me a small amount of Fantasia. It will take me months to level up. But its still better than waiting for unknown years just to level up from Master to Grandmaster." He is now strolling around the forest, trying to find a spot for camping. It is now past twilight. He gathers firewoods for his campfire. He also trying to hunt food for dinner. Then, he found a wild boar near a small cave. He sneaked, and back stabbed the boar. He hung the boar on the top of a tree and he entered the mysterious cave. The cave is really dark. But having him connected to a pixie of shadows, Mona, he can see in the darkness. Shadow is a form of darkness, then with Mona is bound to his soul, she can share some abilities, one is seeing through the dark. The Cave was spacey and good for camping. It was not too deep and it is unoccupied by any monsters. Although, there are monsters'' skeletons, he choose to stay at the Cave. [Crocky, get the boar for me please.] Dom said to Crocky through mental conversation. [No problem, Master] Then Crocky head back to there where Dominic hung the boar. [Mona, what do you think about this place?] Dom asked Mona. [I LOVE IT! The darkness makes me feel alive. Its my territory. Master. Lets stay here.] Mona flew around Dominic. She really felt excitement in her heart. As a shadow pixie, she lives in the darkness and darkness made her stronger. Shadow''s weakness is no other then the LIGHT. She is not that energetic by day, but when the night comes, darkness enveloped the lands making her feel stronger and energetic. More likely, she is nocturnal. By day, she hides on Dom''s pocket or sleeves and she sleeps, in the night, she felt alive and she is awake wandering in the forest. Crocky came back and carrying a boar 10x its size. They grilled the boar and all of them eat it happily. The cold night in the cave passed. It is now morning. The sun shines so brightly. Rays of sunlight passed the big old oak trees'' leaves. He woke up peacefully. Crocky and Mona guarded the place while Dom is asleep. Crocky and Mona felt really tired and they hide on Dom''s sleeve. "Crocky ,Mona, let''s hunt now." ..... A month has passed, it is now march. They mastered their daily routine. Sleep, Eat, and Hunt, that was their daily routine. Dom is still far from Grandmaster level. He is still Master Mid stage. His one-month estimation failed. He failed to level up and stuck at Master level. His Sword Comprehension level is also stuck at Level 4. He is now hunting, roaming around in the vast forest. BOOOOOOM A loud boom rang from a distance. He immediately activated Thunder and rushed to the location. He saw two men fighting each other. He hides behind the trees and he concealed his Aura using the Soul Overlord. "You Holy light Sect is always pinning Blood moon sect. Killing the independent sect members become your hobby. Hiding behind the Light Crest is Darkness, you evildoers shall go to hell!" A man wearing Blood red robe with a wound in his stomach shouted at a man wearing a pure clean white robe. "Oh ho. You independent sects need to die! Receive this divine punishment!"The white-robed man drew his sword. A white purifying light enveloped the sword. " Receive this Holy slash!" then the White-robed man brandished his sword in the air. Their distance is only 25 meters. Then a Light slash similar to wind blade but it emits holy light. He reactivated Thunder while his Aura is concealed. He grabbed the man wearing a blood-red robe and run deeper to the forest. "Ohhhhh. My Holy slash reduced his body to nothing. I grew stronger! HAHAHAHA" The man laughing wildly at the forest. After a few minutes, he leaves the place. ... "Huh? Where am I" The Blood robed man checked his surrounding in a confused state. He is inside a large cave with only a campfire lighting the place. He then saw Dominic sitting not away from him. "Who are you?!" He stands up immediately and drew the sword from his waist. "Hey man! Calm down. I saved you from that White-robed man from Holy light sect. I also hate Light crest alliance like you." He Put his hand forward and shake it, showing the basic expression of shocked while stopping someone from getting nearer. "Ohhhhh.. So you are an ally? I''m Rence Frostbite. An elder of the Blood Moon sect. Want to join our sect? Any cultivator with hatred towards Light Crest Alliance is welcome into our sect!" The mood of the man named suddenly change. His eyes are shining with excitement. "Can I? Thank you Elder!" he shakes Rence''s hands. [ Ohhhh boy! A sect really approached us! Mona and Crocky, do you also feel excited?] [We are also excited master!] Mona and Crocky said in unison. The also feel excited. Their existence is also hidden by the Soul Overlord. Then Dom told him about his whole story being exiled in the kingdom and being banned in the Light Crest alliance. "That was really sad men, but how did you save me? You are only an Earth level early stage? Fighting with a Grandmaster early stage is impossible!" Rence inspected Dom from head to toe. "I just grabbed you and then run. I think he assumes that you died and turned to ashes." Dom explained. "Hmmmmm. But yeah, Thank you for saving me. Come with me in our sect" Rence activated his bracelet and a door appeared in front of them. "Come and enter." 3 The Little Red Lizard A tall man, around 2 meters tall standing near a newly erected tombstone. "I will never ever forget how you take care of me master. I will never forget." Streams of tears fell down from his eyes down to his face. Dom began to cry again while leaning on the tombstone. After crying for a while, he managed to stop his tears dripping down and regain his right mental state. Even though he is calmer than before, he can''t still shake away the grief in his heart. He walked inside the house and entered his master''s room. He kneeled near his master''s bed and reached out for a box and a sword. "To Dom" that is the two words written in the cover. Dom slowly opened the box and he saw a paper. He opened the paper and read its content. "By the time you''re reading this, Dom, I''m already dead, for sure. When I found you and Andrea, I was about to abandon you but I realized that both of you are still pure, innocent, young humans. So I decided to help you." "I didn''t hold any feelings for humans. I really hated humans. Humans are far crueler than Demons. I lied to you when I told you that my soul was broken because I was battling a beast, but in reality, the King of the Kingdom of Trylon, Cyril the Third, treated me as his guinea pig." "They made me their test subject, injecting chemicals into my body resulting in my soul being damaged. I have the greatest potential they have ever seen, I''m a genius capable of reaching the Supreme Being level. With only 10 years I reached the Grandmaster level, many cultivators envied me, but I just ignored them." "Then the king himself paid me a visit with the purpose of inviting me to be one of his Vassals. I humbly rejected the offer because I wanted to be an unaffiliated cultivator, free from worldly problems. King Cyril the third was famous for his strength. He reached the Celestial level long ago. But he is rumored for spending too much money just to reach that realm and it took him many centuries to succeed." "He was infuriated because I rejected his offer. He made a move on me and I was caught off guard. Even though I have time to prepare, I can''t still retaliate because of the large difference in power. And it also didn''t even enter my mind that a high king will make a move on a lowly grandmaster cultivator. He abducted me and brought him to his palace." "It was all due to envy and greed. He envied my innate potential that he doesn''t have. He wanted to uncover my secrets so he ran various experiments in my body. He injected chemicals in my body, burned me, froze my body, and many more. And all of this caused my soul to be damaged beyond repair." "I''m not asking you to avenge me but be cautious around him. He is a vile creature and he will do anything to achieve what he wants." "My Sword, the Shalltear sword shall be yours. It has the ability to steal Fantasia in the body of your enemy and make them yours. It will lessen your cultivation time. But you shouldn''t rely on the sword all the time to raise your level, cultivate hard to achieve your dreams." "Don''t forget those skills that I taught you. The Thunder skill, Wind Blade, Wind steps, and others will help you in your journey. Reaching the celestial being will be easier for you than the others. But don''t you dare to slack off because of your higher potential. You must strive hard, harder than the others in order to live and roam the lands freely." "There is a letter on the drawer in the table beside my bed. That letter is the letter of recommendation for you to enter the academy. It has the seal of the current principal there. Just show it in the guard and he will bring you to the principal." "You also need to hide your cultivation level. I lied to you when I said that your prowess is lacking compared to the others on your age. Your prowess is far above them; I just said that to motivate you further." "I don''t know where is Andrea right now but I left her to a friend of mine. You will eventually know who is that friend of mine so I won''t tell you her name. Train harder, only then you will have the power to protect those close to you." Take care, my young disciple. Go, scram and dominate the heaven and earth and be the Sword overlord" Dom started to cry again. He grabbed the sword, the Shalltear Sword and hugged it tightly. It was the only memento left by his late master. The trials and tribulations his master has conquered are too great and terrifying. His master was a great person that can achieve greater things in life but because of greed, he lost his ability to cultivate. It was all because of King Cyril the third''s greed. "I will always remember your teachings in my heart and I will not fail you I will bring your name to greatness as the teacher of the person who will dominate the heaven and earth. I will promise you that that bastard king will suffer more than you do. Farewell teacher." ..... A man who is sitting a rock with a flattened top suddenly opened his eyes. His body was filled with sweat so he walked to a nearby stream and washed his body that is bulked with muscles and covered in scars. This man was Dominic who is traveling from the mountain of Limonsito to the city of springs, Tamfaken. He is already traveling for around a month. He continued his training on the road. He did not dare to slack off because he knew that he is much stronger than other youths of his age. After washing his body from the sticky sweat, he walked back to the forest to find some food. He found a trail of a boar and then he followed it. Then he saw a boar fighting a red lizard that is only as long as a ruler. The lizard was red in color and he did not see any of these for his entire life in the forest. Due to the difference in size, the lizard was losing the battle. The battle goes on. The lizard was pinned down and the boar keeps on stopping it. The former was going to die at this rate. Dominic said in his thoughts. He was balancing his thoughts about what is the tastier one between the two fighting beasts. The lizard was so small that it was not enough to satisfy his needs so he decided to kill the boar. So he dashed towards the fighting beasts and it startled them. Then he brandished his sword towards the boar and killing it instantly.

It wanted to run away but it was not able to because of the injuries it sustained. It was obvious in its eyes that it was terrified as he stared at Dominic. Dom sighed deeply as he cast a healing spell on it. The healing spell was not enough to heal all of its wounds. He then placed the lizard into his shoulder. "I will take care of you for the meantime until you healed all of your injuries. The Lizard''s impression towards Dom lightened up but it still keeps his guard up towards Dom. .... "Hmmmmm, this meat is so good," Dominic exclaimed as he inhaled the tasty aroma coming from the roasted boar in front of him. It was the boar that abused the little lizard. The lizard stared confusedly at the three dead cicadas lying in front of him. Dom caught these three dead cicadas for the lizard to eat. He concluded that the lizard couldn''t hunt on its own so he decided to catch some insects for it. The lizard looked at Dom with an expression like, |What the fuck is this?| Dom saw the lizard and he was baffled by its reaction and then he questioned himself if what e did is right, |Lizards eat insects, right?| He ignored the lizard because it may be lost its appetite because of the earlier fight. Then he grabbed the thigh of roasted boar and then chomped on it. After chewing it, he threw a glance on the lizard again and he was shocked by its reaction. |Why the heck is this lizard drooling for? And he''s staring at the thigh I am eating eagerly as if he wanted to eat it too. "Do you want this?" Then, the lizard nodded its head. Dominic was shocked by the response of the little red lizard. It responded as if it understands what Dominic is saying. Dominic sighed, he then grabbed another thigh and threw it in front of the red lizard. The lizard''s eyes shone in excitement. It immediately gobbled on the thigh. Then it used its tail to slap away the cicada as it was disturbing him. | I really thought lizard''s foods are some kind of insects. But why did this red one eat meat? | Then after thinking about the mater for some time, a thought entered his mind. | Does that mean that the Lizard is actually hunting the boar?!| Then he turned his gaze to the lizard who is still eating his portion of meat. He immediately ignored the matter and turned to sleep after eating. .... "Hmmmm. After this dense forest is already the City of Tamfaken?" then Dom put the map he is holding back into his bag. After traveling for another 15 days, he finally is finally nearing to his destination. He rested for a while. And a red lizard can be seen sitting on his shoulder. This red lizard was the same red lizard he saved from the boar. Their intimacy with each other was greatly increased after the 15 days of traveling with each other. Dominic continued to feed the red lizard hoping to tame it. He patted it and the little red lizard seems to like it. He was walking to enter the forest when he saw a luxurious carriage and normal carriages surrounded by suspicious looking people clad in black. Dom silently activated his movement skill ''Wind steps''; it is a normal and common skill consuming only a small amount of Fantasia. Its purpose is to conceal someone''s footsteps as if the user is walking directly in the air. Although this is not enough for him to hide from them, with the concealing prowess of his Soul Overload, everything is perfect. He immediately hides behind a tree while watching the commotion silently. "Give us all of your belongings or prepare to be beheaded." Said by the big man wearing different clothes than the rest of the people clad in black. He seems to be the leader. Then a man came out of the luxurious carriage. He is a tall old man. "Don''t you know who are you offending?" The old man asked. "Of course I knew! I know that the young mistress of the city of springs, Tamfaken. Am I right?" the leader of the robbers haughtily said. "Then why don''t you scram? Or do you want to die right now?" The old man threatened them. "Do you think I will be afraid of you? Hah! Men, prepare to kill this bunch of idiots!" then a sword appeared on his hands. The old man also commanded his troops and both sides entered the battle mode. When the gang wearing black clothes was about to attack, Dominic gets out of his hiding spot and said. "Senior brother, please don''t rob them. " Dom rushed to the scene and appeared between the conflicting team. "Huh?! Who the hell are you?" The leader looked angrily at Dom, his eyes filled with killing intent. "I am Dominic Stellarium. A cultivator." Dom proudly said as he looked up in the sky. "And I hated to see someone getting rob, so I was asking you to stop and scram in this place." The Dom turned to the leader and threw an icy glance. The leader laughed and then said, "Acting like a hero, eh? You just wanted to get closer with the young mistress of Tamfaken, Right?" "Who is the young mistress? Oh well, I don''t even care who is that." Dom said as he scratched his head. "So you''re just acting like a hero eh? Let me tell you a piece of advice from an elderly, don''t act like a hero because you''ll die prematurely because of that." The leader said as he laughed at the ignorance of Dom. "And also based on your age you''re just a Mortal Mid-level or Advance level, right? Even you''re a genius Earth level early stage is the maximum you can achieve. And all of us here are at Earth Level and I am at the Post stage already, so how can you even defeat me? Huh?" The leader said as he is trying to deduce Dom''s strength. "Ugghh, why am I wasting time on you?" then he walked towards Dom and grabbed his collar and lift him up. To act weak, he activated wind steps to lighten himself up. Because if he will not do this, the earth level bandit will never be able to lift a sky level cultivator of Dom''s level. The leader laughed and then said, "Scram kiddo and leave your belongings behind"
