LAST TIME:
"It seems our gracious S class Adventure Victor had given our champion a good weapon to battle with! This will make the fight that much more interesting! Now guards, release the beast!" Gabe shouted as the massive cage split open revealing a monster that was the same size as an elephant. It has scaled as large as my fist covering its brown body. It had the head of a dragon and on its forelegs were two large wing like flaps that extended from its claws to its elbows.
Its back legs were thick and muscular with a large tail swinging in between them. The think scales still extending all over its body except its small arm slaps. Still as it looked down at me it raised itself by leaning back on its hind legs and puffed out its chest. I could even see its chest glow a little as its brown eye landed on me as it let out a menacing growl. All in all I knew it wasn't a dragon maybe a subspecies but then I used [Analysis] on it.

A race of drake that is found deep in the Gullion dungeon and deep mountain ranges. This particular species is known for its large amount of health and endurance. Its most powerful attacks are its breath attack and its earth magic know as earth tremor. Any attack damage that lands on its scales is reduced by 75%.
Status – It's really hungry and Percy looks like a good meal.
I just stared at this earth Drake as I slowly thought to myself.
'Fuck me.' Let us just say I was not looking forward to this fight.
NOW:
After my own self-pity arty about not wanting to face this I was immediately forced to move, due to a massive claw slamming down on the ground I was just standing on. With a well-placed roll I avoided the strike that made the ground explode and be thrown up into the air. But as I avoided the flying rocks I was on my feet again as I barely had to time to dodge another blow from its other claw as it was coming right for my face.
It seemed like the Earth drake was hungrier than I first thought as I ducked under the blow just barely enough to feel the razor-sharp claw trim some of my lose hairs. As I barely managed to duck under his other claw strike by mere centimetres, but I wasn't fast enough to dodge the massive tail that came swinging in my direction. It was about as thick as a tree and to be honest, it looked like it was going to hit me like a truck, the only thing I could do as it swept right above the ground was trying to block the attack.
I jumped into the air at a backwards angle and used the sword as a shield as I tucked my body behind it. Then the tail hit me like a train as I was flung about 100 feet across the arena as I tumbled like a bolder for about 20 feet. Thanks to me being launched many times before across like this I had gotten used to landing in a roll like fashion as I safely returned to my feet after a few more rolls. But as I did I coughed out a mouthful of blood that tasted like iron, still I swallowed down the rest in my mouth as I slowly steadied myself.
It was then that I looked at my health.
HP 3000/3250
That tail strike alone was enough to take away 250 health and that was even with me blocking it with a magical sword and my acrobatics to jump back and to absorb some of the blow. Still that wasn't even the deadliest part of it that worried me. If its tail did 250 damage, then what kind of damage would its claws do? Or worse yet what kind of damage would its teeth do or worst of all its breath attack and magic? I could only shiver as I thought about it and tried to formulate a plan to end this thing in front of me.
I was more than likely going to have to use [Greek Swordplay] to keep myself alive, kind of obvious there. But with such a large sword it was going to be difficult to meet the prerequisites to even use that swordplay. I would have to use this sword that the adventure gave me with just one hand no matter what. Even if I placed both hands on it once during the battle then it would change to [Medieval Swordplay] and [Greek Swordplay] would be on a 5-minute cooldown.
That is what you could call a major flaw in the swordplay switching system, but I guess I was going to have to live with it and raise [Medieval Swordplay] to the same level as [Greek Swordplay] if I was planning on using both two-handed swords and one-handed words and get the same amount of damage. But I paid no mind as I focused on the little angrier than usual Earth Drake in front of me.
"Roar!" The Earth Drake shouted as I wiped the blood from my lip as I readied myself with a plan slowly forming in my head as I observed my foe. I took a deep breath and charged the Drake as I held the Saints Sword in one-hand ready to unleash the full power of my swordplay. Thankfully the sword was lighter than my claymore which helped a lot but even with my strength it still felt around 150 pounds and had an imbalance that I didn't like. But then again now was not the time to complain as I ducked under its claw it used to decapitate me with its razor-sharp claws.
As he did I managed to baseball slide under his swing and get a slash in on his scale overed ribs. As I got my strike off I immediately back away and was forced to role well mostly jump a few times to avoid the massive ass tail of his. But as I looked at the area I hit I saw a small scratch in his scales that only went down about an inch in the 5-inch-thick scales thought it might not look like much it still did damage.

Earth Drake HP 4,987,460 / 5,000,000
I stand corrected it really did not do anything to him…I cried inwardly for a second then I recomposed myself a second later. Still I have to admit those dragon scales seemed like that can take one hell of a beating that for sure. But I couldn't help but weep a little on the inside as I saw that mass of damage I delivered get cut down like it was nothing as the earth drakes scales did their work.
Fucking dragon species and their born in hacks the sad thing was that this earth drake wasn't even an adult yet! That meant an adult one would be so a whole lot scarier. I wish I was a dragon that would be sweet. Anyways enough time for that I need to move and as I move I meant to avoid the sharp claws aimed at my face. Almost as if the drake read my mind it growled at me and tried to hit me again as I dodged a claw that nicked my leather armour. Though I didn't get hit, my armour was cut like tofu. But I managed to successfully get away from several of its attacks as he just angrier and angrier.
"Hey ugly I am over here!" I yelled as the dragon glared at me as I dodged all of its attacks though impressive I knew it wasn't going to last for much longer. But it simply let out a roar of rage as it suddenly went airborne as I froze. Not only did it pounce towards me like a giant ass cat, but it also created a tremor in the ground with its magic. You could see the ground move like water in a bucket that you just dropped a rick in. It reached me much quicker than the drake in the air.
It was like trying to walk on putty as the ground moved in waves around me. still I managed to stay standing as the wave approached me as I had surfing skills basically ingrained into me Thank you [Muscle Memory] for how you help me…still giant drake in the air looking to eat me alive.
"Dammit!" I yelled as I found a foothold on one of the waves of earth and jumped back just in time for the drake to come crashing down in an eruption of dust and rock right where I was standing a second ago. But the bad thing was that I was now airborne, and the drake seemed to anticipate that, so he made his move now. As I saw the claw heading my way I barely had time at slash at its claw to negate some of the force before I was thrown right into a wall of arena.
As I hit the wall I was lucky nothing broke but the wall as cracks appeared in the stone that the massive arena wall was made of. Still I coughed up a mouthful of blood as my body hurt like a motherfucker. But I managed to slowly pull myself off the ground as I looked up at the HP bar of me and my new nemesis.
HP 1900/3250
Enemy HP 4,974,920/5,000,000
I knew I needed to do something and fast at that rate my HP was heading, just a few more hits and I was going to be buried in a mass grave with the other dead slaves. But the drake's level was simply too high for me to handle. So this long ass fight the crowd and Gabe wanted was going to be cut short if I didn't figure something out. So looked at him for critical strike areas anything that was easy to hit as long as I had time.
All my knowledge on dragon like species from my past life flooded in my head as I tried to find a spot to strike at. There were a few spots I knew off like the throat where it glows the brightest and its eyes but that was it. That is when I read the description of his defence again, as I did I smiled like a rogue as I found my weak spot I was looking for.
"Hey dirt breathe!" I yelled as the drake looked from the roaring crowd to me as I grinned at it.
"Come and get me bitch!" I yelled again.

While the skill was interesting I made the bule pop up box go away as the drake seemed to go into a rage and charge me as I grinned evilly. I didn't move as I stood right by the wall since this was all part of the plan, nothing like a last second plan. The drake just roared as loud as it could as I felt my eardrums strain from sound as it began to charge me. As it did as it could as I felt my eardrums strain from the sound as it began to charge me. As it did the crowd above me started to scream from their seats as the drake charged the wall. Even if the walls were 50ft high and there was a magical barrier it would still be as scary as shit.
Still as o stood there and readied my sword with one hand the drake rushed me as its once brown eyes were glowing red with hate, like they were really glowing red, I didn't even know that could happen. It mouth opened to reveal rows of razor sharp teeth that could make very short work of my body. But as I looked at the enraged drake I could only chuckle at myself from the effectiveness of the [Taunt] skill. I knew I had a knack for pissing people off, but I didn't know that it was this effective…one second thought I guess I did but I never really paid much attention to release that I pissed people off that much.
"Roar!" The drake let loose, I bet it was really trying to say, 'Let me EAT you!'
The was a pause as I steadied my sword in anticipation for the strike. His head snaped forward attempting to take a bite of my left shoulder and arm. I jumped forward off the wall and slipped under its forelegs in a baseball slide fashion. The drake couldn't stop quick enough, and its open mouth hit the brick wall that I had my back to just a fraction of a second ago. His speed cause about 5000 damage points as its face collided. I hoped that it would have been a little high but I was happy enough that it did some damage even if it was only 5000.
As I looked back too where the drake had gone face first into the wall, I noticed that it had gotten its teeth stuck in the wall. I hope it will be stuck for long enough.
"All into strength!" I yelled as I finally decided to distribute my skill points and just as I did I got a few new skills along with it. This all happened in a split second, so it's a bit hard to explain what happened properly but I dumped all of my points into strength while the drake was stuck.

As the skills popped up in front of my face I instantly was my golden boy and selected him. I could leave the other skills for later but for right now [Herculean Strike] was going to do it. I was a little upset that the name of the strike was related to Hercules, the arch nemesis of my best friend Zoe. But I paid it no mind as I filled with surprise as I learned that the skill took stat points to use but I guess logically speaking if you always used your strength then it is bound to run out, right?
Still not the time for random thoughts as I activated [Herculean Strike] and aimed it right at the earth drake's wing that was not covered by scales. As I did I felt an unfamiliar strength swell up in my arm as it did my arms suddenly exploded in pain as my muscles began too tightening. Looking down at my arm I could see veins pulsing out of it, it was almost over veiny and beginning to look a little gross, but I didn't care. A red aura even popped up around it in the second I used it as I slashed down with all my might.
"Take my furry you want to be dragon bitch!" I roared as I used my skill.
With an exploding of air around me the blade cut though both the air and the drake like butter as it sliced downwards with all my might. But there was more as the blade moved so fast that the air seemed to explode outwards as a new 10 foot long and 3-foot-deep gouge in the wall had appeared. I was astonished that the strike was so powerful, but I focused on cutting this drakes fucking leg off.

While the damage was massive the blade of the sword stopped right in the elbow joint of the drake as I failed to cut right through its leg. I cursed mentally however I wasn't done as I pulled it out of the bloody mess in front of me. by the way lets just say drakes have a lot of veins going through their small arm wings and they gush blood if hit. I looked like Mario I was so red with drake blood.
But as I ripped the blade out of his now almost cut in half foreleg I instantly selected the first active strength skill I had gotten to possibly choose. But [Rend] was the one I chose as I dropped my blade onto the ground and gripped both bloody ends of his elbow that my blade had only managed to cut a little bit into. But as the skill activated I felt a massive amount of strength go to my arms as I let out a roar and began to…well rend his leg from his body.
After a second nothing happened but then I heard tearing noise as the drake who was still stuck was roaring out in pain as the wall cracked more and more as he struggled to free himself. Though his body was moving viscously, and his tail was going haywire, I was somehow not being hit as I slowly ripped his right foreleg off his body from the elbow down. With more sickening pops and twists held the leg was finally ripped off the drake's body as blood spurted everywhere from the wound.
[Rend] damage bonus! 10 damage x 176 = 1760 Damage!

After I ripped off the drake's arm I felt pretty good about myself. However that feeling was short lived as he finally broke he did he was not happy in the slightest as I didn't have time to dodge his massive claw. As his remaining claw stuck me I felt several ribs crack and my leather armour were shredded to rags. As I landed my blood rags were stuck with dirt, but I didn't care as I coughed out a large amount of blood.
I could feel that I had broken several ribs maybe even more than five as I coughed out another mouthful of blood.

All symptoms will remain the same until medical attention is provided.
My vision grew hazy as my mind felt like it was hit against a metal wall. Combined with the pain of what felt like a billion needles inside my skin, which didn't feel so great together. But as my consciousness waned I slowly looked up from my kneeling position to see the earth drake standing but 30 feet in front of me. Its eyes red with rage as it's stump of a leg was bleeding profusely while the crowd roared with excitement.
"Well fuck." I said as I watched the drake's throat begin to glow red hot as steam began coming out from his mouth. I wasn't stupid enough to not know that this was his fire breath, he was getting ready to roast me alive. As I looked around me I noticed my sword was now behind the drake and it didn't seem like I was in a condition to even move properly.
"Looks like this is the end of our young champion." I heard Gabe say, the crowd roared in response to this. The drake was now beginning to let out small puffs of fire from his mouth. Just then he finally opened his mouth as an intense heat began to come out and swell around me. it made the blood covering my skin start to smell much fouler than it normally would.
I could only laugh lightly as the flames coming from the drake's mouth slowly began to pour out of it.
'If only I had more power, I could have levelled up so much yet here I am about to die. I guess Gabe was right, I am pitiful.' I thought to myself as I silently looked at the wall of fire quickly heading my way.
'Perseus…' Said Gaia in a whisper as I heard something I haven't heard from her before, it sounded like it was sadness.
'But I guess if I am going to go out I might as well go out in a flash right.' I said as I forced myself to stand up as my left arm dangled freely as blood dripped down it. My body groaning as I managed to stand up, my chest full of cuts as more blood formed a river down my chest. As I stood their silently I could only watch the wall of flames until they were about 5 feet in front of me.
"Mana pool destinati-." But before I could speak those words a voice suddenly erupted un my head.
'NO! I am not going to lose you again!' Gaia yelled. If you guessed right, I was going to detonate my mana pool inside of me. Basically it would have turned me into a walking bomb with enough energy to make this entire arena turn into a wasteland. But in an angry voice Gaia stopped me as suddenly windows started to pop in front of me.

At this point I didn't even have time to blink as Gaia took over my body and spent all my bonus points and got me a skill that I didn't have the slightest clue about what they did. However as she did suddenly I felt a shiver go through my body as I heard her voice in my head one last time.
'I am sorry, but I am going to have you go to sleep for a little.' Gaia said as my vision got blurry as I looked at the fire wall heading my way. Suddenly it was like a massive darkness overcast me as my vision want black, I saw one last window pop in front of my face.

THIRD PERSON POV:
Everyone watched as the flames consumed Percy in an inferno of heat, the rocks around him melted in seconds under the breath of the drake. After a minute the drake finally stopped the stream of fire and let out a roar of triumph as the ground around where Percy once stood was now completely on fire. The flames were 40 feet high as they burned the air as the heat was too much for some people as they back up from it.
The crowd just cheered viscously as Gabe had a smirk on his face, as he watched the drake continue to roar out. As he finally finished roaring the drake seemed to glance down at its still bleeding stub as it then glanced around trying to find its leg. The whole crowd still cheering as the fire continued to burn as Gabe suddenly had a frown on his face.
"Something…it isn't right." He whispered as his S rank friend heard him clearly as the two looked at the fire as something started to happen. However they ere too late as a tremor ran though the air of the arena as the fire around Percy suddenly pulsed. Even the drake seemed startled as the fire around the area began to swirl around the centre.
Even the drake began to look small of a 40 foot high pillar of fire began to twirl like a tornado. Everyone watch in awe as the fire all began to implode in on itself, but soon a figure began to appear underneath the tornado of fire. All of the fire being funnelled right into his mouth as people started in awe as Gabe and the Adventure both went wide eyed. As soon as he appeared the flames that remained in the air dispersed as Percy suddenly swallowed and then wiper his now chapped lips.
"Nasty Tasting, but it is enough." Percy said in an emotionless tone as everyone including the earth drake just starred as Percy's arm suddenly wiggled like a worm as it popped back into place. Even on his bare chest you could see all the cuts closing up instantly. After just a few seconds his body was back to normal, but his eyes no longer had pupils but instead they were glowing white.
"W-What?" Asked Gabe as he stared in shock as Percy waved his hand in front of his in a meaningless jester. But as he did the sword that was lying on the ground behind the drake suddenly flew right into his hand as the crowd was at a loss for words. There was really only one word to describe this.
"Magic!" one person yelled as everyone in the crowd began to scream the same thing. Magic was reserved to the privileged and the nobles of this world. For a slave to know magic, well that was unheard of.
"Why does he know magic!?" Yelled Gabe as he should have known everything about Percy. Just then a lowing mark appeared on his forehead that looked like a small star on his forehead. As it appeared another tremor ran though the entire arena as Percy let out a roar that only added to the intense shaking od the arena. People were now all screaming in fear as Percy continued to roar. The arena was falling apart the shaking was so intense.
"Grimoire!" The adventure yelled as Gabe's eyes seemed to budge out of his eye sockets as he recognized the word all too well they were one of the few items of this world that held spells without chanting they held spells so powerful they were considered forbidden.
Once obtained they would fuse with the host body and form a blood pact, essentially sealing any way to steal it other than murdering the person who had it. There was a lot of other information on grimoires but one of the most important things was that there were only 30 recorded books found in the dungeons. That meant that Percy obtained his after one of the apocalypse wizards and witches had passed away or a new one had been found.
"Don't let him escape! I must have that grimoire!" Gabe yelled as Percy finally stopped yelling as cracks had appeared on the arena walls. But just then the drake seemed to see Percy as a threat as it bared its fangs at him as he readied to attack him again. Its tail swishing back and forth as Percy stood in the middle of pool of molten rock, Percy only raised both his hands to the sword above his head.
"Guard kills him! He is going to use a magic spell!" Roared Gabe as hundreds of guards started to pour into the arena as they charged right towards Percy.
"Let this city and its evil return to dust! Earth's Reclaiming!" Percy roared as he slammed the sword right into the ground as a massive magic circle shot out from the place his sword hit the ground. But you could see the strain on Percy as his veins started to burst on his skin as blood poured down his arms and face. Still the magic circle grew as Percy coughed out of a mouthful of blood as the circle grew much faster.
"Need more mana!" Percy yelled as he waved his hand as the drakes ripped off leg suddenly flew like the sword did right into his hand. In the next instant the guards watched in horror as Percy bit right through the drakes' scales and into its flesh. Not even taking time to chew he kept eating and eating until there was nothing left.
It only took Percy a couple seconds to eat the entire 4 feet of scales, bones, and flesh. Thanks to Percy's new skill [Consumption absorption] allowed his to do this as everything became his fuel source. Even the earth drake watched in horror as its leg was consumed by the feral looking Percy as blood dripped down from his chin as his body healed. AS he polished it off he swallowed as the magic circle finally stopped at the arena's edge.
"Activate!" Percy yelled as his skin started to split open and reveal tearing muscles as the amount of mana was simply too much as the spell started to eat away at his physical body. But as Percy collapses to one knee as exhaustion caught up to him. But as his skin continued to break open and his muscles collapsed under the stress of the spell it finally stopped as the whole magic circle began to glow.
"Need mana and health." Percy panted as Gaia who was controlling him turned to the drake coming his way. As Gaia stayed in control she forced Percy's body to stand up as the ground began to shake and shake. Eventually a crack began to appear in the ground as it shot like lighting through the arena walls and continued into the city as screams of citizens erupted from it.
At this point the tunnel that led under the arena had collapsed as it pulled a hundred guards with it as Percy stood silently as he looked up at Gage who was just flaring right down at him, at the same time Gaia who was in control at the moment glared up at the man who had kept her…special person, locked up in this horrendous place. As she did she controlled Percy to bring him thumb up to his neck and slowly drag it across as Gabe's eyes went wide.
"You will pay for what you did to him…slug man." Said Gaia in a whisper as the ground started to crack like a massive spider web as the guards all screamed in terror as they started to fall into the cracks that led to the insides of the earth. Even the drake started to fall in as the ground under his back legs started to cave in. However thanks to Gaia's magic Percy just silently floated a few inches off the ground as she watched the drake breath out a stream of fire as it panicked.
Gaia began to look around at the destruction of the arena before she noticed that Percy's body was starting to flake.
"His body isn't going to hold up much longer, I need find somewhere were he will be safe," Gaia told herself while looking around, "He will also need something to regain his health we he wakes up."
She then zeroed in on the drake that was still panicking just barely holding on the edge of the crack that was widening every second.
"You will do." She said as the sword in her hand started to glow a deep blue as a humming noise could be heard coming from it. But with a small arch of her hand the blade descended on the drake's head as it was cut open like a watermelon. Gabe who was still watching was in awe as the blade that could barely cut through the drake's scales before just cut his head right open like it was paper.
But before he could see any more the place he was standing on finally started to collapse as he gritted his teeth before his suddenly disappeared in a flash as he has jumped away. Even Gaia who was watching him was surprised at the power that Gabe's body had. But she paid it no mind as she reached down and grabbed the now dead drake. As she did a box suddenly appeared in front of her as she stuffed the entire corpse of the drake in it.
This was Percy's item box and right now it was completely empty well besides the dead drake's body but in essence this thing could hole the same amount of items as Percy's level so since his level was 45 it could hold 45 items in stacks of 45 and as his level went up it would only increase. But there were still limitations like size of an item, so the drake's corpse was actually cut up into smaller pieces.
It was separated into drake legs x3, tail, body, and head/neck. But Gaia didn't have the time to notice as he used the rest of Percy's mana to make him shoot off into the distance. As she did his body flew like a bird as mana supported his body in the air. Still with that Gaia has spent the last of his mana as his body quivered. Thankfully this was a spell that you would put in a certain amount of mana and then it goes automatically until all the mana put into it was used up. With the amount of mana that Gaia put in it Percy should travel a good 200 miles before the spell quits.
'Don't worry you are going to be okay. I promise." Gaia whispered to the sleeping Percy. She then put the sword in her hand in the inventory as well. As Percy's body flew though the air Gaia caught sight of the amount of destruction that the spell she casted was doing. The entire slave city had a mess of spider web cracks below it. Most buildings were consumed but it as they fell into the quickly widening cracks. But as the crack grew more and more the final part of the spell finally kicked in.
From the crack that had consumed the entire city, dust began to spew out and suddenly in the very middle of the city it began to spiral inwards and sink down. Like a massive drain the entire city began to swirl as houses were smashed and destroyed. Nothing could escape it, most of the people had yet to evacuate, still some had made it out as they watched their city slowly be consumed by the ground.
In minutes only a few hundred people managed to make it out as the city's spiral grew more intense and finally reached outer areas of the city. Building were grinding up into dust and the arena that Percy was in was now completely gone. Even the castle with its might walls was reduced to nothing, everything was consumed by the cracks and the pit that was quickly forming in the middle. All 30 miles of the city was quickly consumed and in the very middle was a massive pile of rubble and bodies.
But it only stayed there for a minute as the ground under it slowly sunk until the pile was covered up by dirt and was buried deep underground. As the dust settled and everything returned to normal the people who had managed to survive all stared in chock as they looked at the now completely flat area that the city once was. Everything was gone even the wall that once surrounded the city was gone, only flat ground now remained.
'Earth's Reclaiming is one of the weakest earth terraforming move that I know, but Percy's ana could barely cast the spell even with me absorbing 95% of the needed mana from the atmosphere. Even then his body could barely hold together when I absorbed the mana, I was worried that his mana channels were going to explode.' She though, a worried expression dawned Percy's body but it was clearly Gaia that made that face. She pushed the thought out for now and focused on leveling out Percy's exhausted body. His mana channels completely dry as Gaia use natural mana to heal them and make them stronger.
'Thankfully his body did stay intact and living because if it didn't I have a feeling that my existence would be cut to just a few more days.' The intrusive thought being the only thing she could focus on till Percy was wake and moving.
Unknowing to Percy was that once he got the [Gaia System] he sealed off any chance of her existing if Percy died. If he passed away she passed away that was about the gist of it, until she could actually find a body to place her conscious in she and Percy were bound to the same body.
'Now for a nap, Percy wont land for a say and I used too much mental energy trying to control the grimoire inside of him. I must say to have a grimoire inside of you at such a young age and one as powerful as this one…your birth parents cared for you more than I first thought. But I guess if you ever meet them it will be under circumstances even I could to foretell.
PERCY POV: 2 DAYS LATER
I groaned as an intense sensation of pain erupted from my body as I did and let a scream of panic as it felt like hundreds of hot needles were being jammed into me all at once. As this happened I shot up into a sitting position as but as I did my whole body seemed to cramp at once as I fell right back into my lying own position. My vision was blurry but I managed to see trees around me as my vision focused.
'Where the hell am I?' I asked myself as I slowly sat up as my body slowly stopped cramping. Though the needle like pain wasn't gone it was much less than I woke up.
"Up we go." I said as I slowly managed to sit myself up properly, I didn't even try to stand up as my whole body tingled.
'Good morning.' Said a female's voice.
'Good morning to you as well Gaia.' I said as I looked down to see my body in perfect condition but to be honest I didn't even feel close to what I looked like.
You have slept on an uncomfortable surface all HP restored and abnormal stats eliminated due to mana over usage of mana you will not regain any mana for the next 28 days, 8% bonus XP for the next 4 hours.
'I am afraid to ask how you are feeling.' Said Gaia as I chuckled and looked around me to see nothing but dense trees and shrubs.
'Just knowing that you are actually questioning your actions makes me happy, proves you are maturing as an emotional being. But besides that I am fine…well besides the needles in my skin. Other than that I feel good.' I said as I looked around me.
'That would be your mana channels being slightly fried, sorry about that.' She said as I thought for a second but sighed.
'As long as I am okay I am happy with whatever happened…what did you do by the way? I am wondering what in the world could possibly make me feel so shitty, no offence.' I said as she laughed lightly in my head.
'Extreme magic, let's just say I can't tell you how until you discover what I used for yourself.' She said as I shrugged.
'Fair enough, at this point I figure if you won't tell me there is no point in asking about it. That brings up a question actually, is there anything to eat around here?' I asked her.
'Check you inventory, I stored some food for you in our escape.' She said as I smiled a little. I may have become a cruel and emotionless person on the outside who only desired power. But to my closest friend's well friend at this point I still had many traits that made me who I was before all this happened.
'All I see is…earth drake meat…what in the hell did I miss?' I asked in astonishment as she laughed a little.
'A lot, let's just say the slave capital is… gone from this world.' She said as I was at a loss for words.
'Well…whatever. Anyways I can't eat this, you're not supposed to eat monster meat it will poison you.' I said.
'Not with your [Consumption absorption] ability, you remember that much right?' She asked me.
'Yeah I do…thanks for spending all those bonus points.' I said in a snarky voice.
'Stop complaining I helped you live.' She said as I raised an eyebrow at her response.
'Becoming more human each day. I like it.' I said with a smirk.
'Bite me.' She said back in a sassy voice, let's just say this was the best conversation I had ever had with Gaia so far.
'Well if you insist.' I said as I made biting noises as she snorted at me.
'Still you can eat the meat without worry, also you will get a bonus in your stats once you eat the entire body.' She said as I raised an eyebrow as I actually remember that part in the skill description. As I did I opened up my inventory to see the body parts as well as a certain high-class sword in my inventory. Putting the sword aside I chose the smallest item in the storage.
'You know…if it was blue I would be like 300% happier.' I said gazing at the earth drake foreleg in front of me.
'You and your blue.' Gaia said.
'You actually remember that?' I asked her in surprised as I stared at the still fresh drake limb as it dripped with blood. I guess my item storage stopped inside it because this thing was still pulsing a little as it twitched in my hand. While gross I thought of multiple ways to use this time stop in my inventory.
'I have many memories of your blue colour obsession, thought useless information to me back when I was evil I now find it kind of funny you still enjoy blue foods.' She said.
'Oh the great and might Gaia be finding something funny.' I said with a laugh.
'Yes I did and if you don't stop teasing me who knows what else I might do to you.' She said in an eerie voice as I shut up. I was too weak to fight her consciousness back, so I silence myself on the topic.
'So it is alright for me to eat this?' I asked her.
'Yes it is, also don't worry about items that you might trade into a guild for money or whatever, anything important like that will be automatically added to your inventory once you finish the item you are eating. So if you eat these legs the important items will all go into the inventory. If you look you will see one foreleg worth inside it already.' She said as I looked. Well she was right there 5 claws 90 scales and one drake bone inside my inventory, can't see how I missed those.
'So my mouth is like a portal to my inventory?' I said to her.
'In a sense yes it is, but it doesn't work on herbs and food. It only works on monsters drops that you consume when eating a corpse. Also it will give you all possible drops a monster can give you, regardless of rarity of the drops you will obtain it in the maximum amount that is possible 100% of the time.' She said.
'Wait that is like a cheat code central over here! Getting all possible drops from a monster every time I eat one? That is almost worse than cheats! It almost takes the fun out of hunting monsters to get that one rare drop you will obtain it in the maximum amount that is possible 100% of the time.' She said.
'Wait that is like cheat code central over here! Getting all drops from a monster every time o eat one? That I almost worse than cheats! It almost takes the fun out of hunting monsters to get that one rare drop that you have been hunting for!' I yelled at her.
'Indeed, but do you really care?' She asked me.
'Well…not really. Sounds kind of cool to be honest.' I said as she seemed to give an invisible nod.
'What happens when I decide to not eat a monster I kill?' I asked her.
'Same thing happens normally and the monster dissolves, but you only get normal drop rates. The skill only works on monsters you eat, but if you want to increase the rate of rare drops just spend bonus points on the drop rate bonus.' She said as I nodded.
One thing very similar to this world and my old one was when monsters were killed they dissolved but in this world only after 10 mins of being dead did they dissolve. But when they dissolved they gave drop items that could be used for just about anything. But each time I actually killed a monster in the arena this happened, but Gabe kept the drop items.
'What about other adventures who have item boxes?' I asked remembering that everyone had an [Adventure Card] which gave them an item box just like mine.
'Actually your skill doesn't affect this. But all their items in their inventory will drop for you to pick from they also drop items just like a monster would. Be it a heart, fangs, wings or just about anything special about them it will drop.' She said as I nodded.
'So basically I got a cheat to enable all drop possibilities to come from all monsters and beings as long as I eat them. Everything else is the same.' I said.
'Yep, so that means with all the money you will make you can't be cheap and skip on birthday presents for me.' she said as I laughed. As I did I finally decided to bite into the monster leg as it tasted just like…chicken. Surprised at the taste I continued to eat and eat soon I found I didn't even need to chew or swallow as the meat disappeared in my mouth if I wanted it to. But enjoying the taste of chicken o decoded to chew as the taste of freshly baked chicken entered my mouth.
'Not as bad as I first thought, but why the no chew no swallowing setting?' I asked as I continued to eat.
'It enables you to eat quickly while in battle or if you are in a hurry, but if you want to enjoy your meal like you are doing then just keep eating like you are doing. But since all this information came up the skill will update.' She said as I raised an eyebrow.
'Update?' I asked her.
'Sometimes skills can evolve on their own and change so they go though an update. If you check the [Consumption Absorption] skill it will show the new things it does. She said as I had to check this out. But just as I did a ding went off in my head.
Alert! The skills [Consumption Absorption] has evolved a new ability but to make the skill easier for the player to understand it will be separated from [Consumption Absorption] and made into a new skill tab
Derived Skill: Picky Eater lv. Max (100%)
Derived from: [Consumption Absorption]
Even the greatest glutton in this world doesn't like eating some things. Save all drops from a monster that aa monster can drop!
100% chance for monsters to drop all possible drops!
100% chance for special items on named monsters to drop as well!
'Picky Eater?' I asked myself as I bit into the drake leg as I didn't even notice I just bit right though the bone.
'While the name is a little…lame, it works.' Gaia said as I slowly nodded.
'Hmm interesting…so Gaia really quick, can I ask you something.' I said.
'Ask away.' She said.
'No offense but I have noticed a considerable difference in your talking, attitude, and simple emotions after you took me over. What happened to make you chance so much?' I asked as I had to get the question off my chest.
'Stuff.' Gaia said as I raised an eyebrow.
'Stuff?' I asked her.
'Y-Yeah. Anyways it is personal so no more asking.' She said as I let a small smile appear on my lips.
'Ha-ha to think the blabber mouth Gaia who didn't even understand personal space a year ago would keep something personal to herself…well I will leave it alone. It is your secret, so I won't pick at it.' I said as she seemed to let out a breath of relief.
'So where to now?' I asked her as I polished off the entire leg, I guess I was hungrier than I first thought. But even my belly didn't budge as I consumed the entire foreleg, go me. unfortunately I didn't get the stat bonus until I polished off the entire body.
'Depends on what are your plans for the moment?' She asked me.
'Get as strong as possible as fast as possible.' I said simply as she laughed lightly.
'Any other reason why other than to kill Gabe?' She asked.
'So nobody can control me ever again. I want enough power to be feared and respected in this world.' I said.
'What about companions? Will you ever try to find your friends who were reborn?' She asked me.
'Maybe I will maybe I won't…I don't want to be selfish and rip them from their new lives but if we happen to meet naturally and our destinies collide that is fine as well.' I said as she strayed silent for a minute.
'Well if that is what you want hen I don't mind but if you want to get strong fast then you need to get a dungeon and clear it. But before that you need to get to Gullion dungeon it is the deepest dungeon on record, and they still haven't found the bottom. If you want to look for powerful monsters that is the place to be.' She said as I nodded as I stood up.
'Is there any requirements to enter the dungeon?' I asked her.
'There is a few, number one you have to be older than 14 years old and number two, you have to be in a guild, and finally you have to have a bit of money.' She said as I sighed.
'How far away are we from the Gullion dungeon and the city by it?' I asked her.
'Three days walk at most.' She said as I frowned.
'There are monsters in the nearby forest you can hunt for the next two years until you are old enough to enter the dungeon. The guild will also give you quests that you can do even if you can't enter the dungeon that you can gain XP from. All you will need to do is find a place to stay for the time being. I suggest and Inn.' She said as I nodded.
'I don't have much money on me but I guess once I am in the guild I can start earning it. That reminds me, did I get any XP from the drake that you killed?' I asked her.
'Yep. Also you got some from…other things.' She said as I wondered how much I got. As I wondered, I brought up my Stats and I nearly choked on my own breath.

'Just what in the hell did you do to raise me 10 levels! That's almost like 100 XP!' I yelled as she let out a small cough.
'Stuff.' She said as I took a deep breath.
'I don't even want to know at this point, just point me in the direction of the city that is by the dungeon.' I said with a sigh.
'Just walk straight for now, also you might want to tear off that slave collar. People will get the wrong idea.' She said as I looked down to see my body was shirtless and only had on a collar.
'Yeah.' I said as I reached up and gripped the collar, with ease the collar tore apart in my hands as I was left shirtless in the woods. Not the worst place I have ever woken up, but it does make the list.
'So how long until I am going to be swarmed?' I asked Gaia who knew all too well about my ability to attract astral creatures in the hordes.
'A couple hours at max, I am sorry but it seems you wont have any sleep for the next few days.' She said as I sighed.
'Nothing I can do to stop it, but for now lets get a move on.' I said as I started to run though the woods. As I did time passed by quickly as I didn't see any monsters on the way, I didn't even see any animals that weren't monsters.
'This place creeps me out.' I said as the lack of life got to me.
'Just keep going forward don't look around and it won't bother you.' She said as I nodded. However just as I started running again my danger sensor hit me like a lightning bolt as I ducked as fast as I could. I dint even have time to gain my footing as I tumbled on the forest floor as I quickly got to my feet. As I did I was the tree that I just ran by had a massive claw mark on it.
Breathing heavy I turned to see a somewhat disgusting sight, there stood a wolf, well an undead wolf. Its flesh was partly gone already and half its skull was revealed as it stood menacingly in front of me. just then I looked around me to see other dead animals appeared before me everything from elk to bears to wolves were here as their dead corpses and sometimes just bones appeared around me. the setting sun putting this entire area in an eerie glow as I slowly gulped as I used [Analyse] on one.

I had a good guess about what these were, these were bodies that astral being took over. You see an astral being is really just a soul that couldn't pass peacefully and lives to torment this plane of existence. Except there I one thing they do enjoy, it is people like me who have the mark of sacrifice. In the air I even was mana ghosts flying around the tree tops as they cried out in pain. All their eyes on me as I growled.
"Fine you want to fight! Then bring it on! I will destroy you all!" I yelled as I pulled my 'borrowed' saints sword from my inventory. As I did I just about jump into the crowd and start to kill as something popped up in front of me.

Let's just say I hit yes so fast I am surprised the screen didn't break. As I jumped right towards the astral soul closest to me, with one swing of the sword it cut right though it and it let out a cry of pain and dissipated in the air as I grew a wicked smile on my face.
"Now you can all die with him!"
Alright new chapter done. That took So God Dam Long to write and update all my other documents
So my last story got deleted and I don't really know why but I have a theory, so here we go…
This story is a rewrite of the original story written by nutthesoftchest. He discontinued his story and I want to pick it up cause it is one of my favourite stories I have ever read. I had tried multiple different ways to try and contact him to no avail.
So after discussing it with some other writers they said I should just go for it and here we are today.
If you have an issue stop reading and read something else but I really enjoy doing this and I have had a lot of positive feedback, so I am going to just keep going and going.
On that note if anyone want to be a beta reader for me to help with spelling and writing PM on this account.
Ok bye
