I woke up late into the evening tired and feeling like a log of wood, but most importantly i was hungry and the aroma hitting my nose told me there was only one way forward, stand up and eat.so i did.
The food was delicious, filled with mana infused meat some bread and some greens which i ate without complaining, after all I'm not really a child and i know they are good for my development.
I ate so much my tummy actually hurts a little,so i just relax and wait for it to digest, while Sara updated me on what happened.
After i got almost half way up the mountain i think i passed out but was unconsciously going upward still i lost all strength in my body.so what happened Sara.
*Well you are right,in your half conscious state you did manage to reach half way through the mountain before you fell*
*After that your grandpa caught you and brought you back home, after which your grandma put you in a recovery liquid that i must say it's has a very good result for you*
What do you mean, what are the results.
*Aside from the recovery it induced the greater and more important result is the fact it opens up your pore in your body so more Mana can flow to the core*
Which in turn shorten the time for it's awakening, that indeed a good result i guess i have more reason to give my all to the torture my grandpa call training.
*My point exactly, but it also has another hidden effect which would have been bad for any other person but you*
Okay you are scaring me what is it.
*It actually increases the impurities in the body which would be bad for anyone else but is actually good if we want to follow that plan*
You mean advancing immediately, my core is form, you said training really hard and pushing myself would be good enough for that what is this about impurities.
*You training really hard is to increase impurities in the first place after all impurities are from through continually applying pressure to ones self so the body reshape itself, it still leaves a little damage behind*
And impurities are the damage.
*Yes*
Okay why does the recovery liquid give me impurities when it's supposed to heal me.
*Would you agree that making something that supposed to last Weeks if not months possible in hours require pressure*
Ah i get it the liquid is forcing my body to overcome and overwork it way through my fatigue, which my body is doing but leaving behind damage, that are in form of impurities. That makes sense.
*Good thing you aren't all that dumb, now you should rest some more after all tomorrow is going to be the same hell for you and more fun for your grandpa*
Great you just had to remind me and spoil my mood, sometimes I'm sure enjoy seeing me down.
*I'm not going to denial or infact degnifiled that statement with an answer*
Yeah because it's true. Whatever good night,hater.
1 Year later
After the first month of the torture my grandpa called training i was able to reach the top without passing out and that's when the effects of my training showed.
Immediately i unlock myself and let the eyes do it's thing my body felt like it's was drinking water for the first time after a few weeks of abstinence. Mana flowed through my body in so much force i actually fainted. Thank God the old man did not just take me home.
He probably saw the reaction of my body and understood i was okay just adjusting. I woke up to see the old man sitting crossed legged and observing me like i was some kind of art piece he couldn't understand but was determined to.
You know it's creepy to wake up and see a old man watching you sleep right.
Shut up brat, maybe next time i will let some few beast do the babysitting,then maybe you will appreciate this old man.
What a wonderful grandfather you are threatening your only grandchild like that, you must be proud of yourself.
Oh you don't know, you won't be my only grandchild for long so all your cute privileges are about to expire and you will be just like me forgotten by your oh so loving Grandma.
Oh so mother is pregnant, that good news for them not you though because if I'm just like you in Grandma eyes then your position is definitely going to get worse.
Enough brat, talking to you is still annoying as ever. Onto a more serious note now that you've managed to pass your first trial by getting up here,i want you to repeat it until you can get up here without fainting.
So began my next month of training,get up the mountain under pressure off a B rank without collapsing.
After that Grandpa increased the pressure to that of a B+rank and i had to start the trial all again and spend two months to pass it,he wanted to move to A rank but we learned the hard way that was a bad idea with me falling to keep my consciousness after he released his pressure.
So he returned to B rank pressure which was not to difficult but with a twist. An obstacle course, were i have to climb up the mountain while avoiding rocks he throws at me.
I believe I've almost died about a hundred times through out the year, i loss consciousness so much so i can probably faint on demand. It's crazy it's like i can simulate the sensation and bam go unconscious.
Not a great achievement but hey it's part of my ability now, don't know how simulating near death experience will help anyone but it should be good for escaping tough questions you don't want to answer.
Well after a year we are currently heading to my parents house to see the new baby,my first sibling in this world and if my mother as much as utter the word"Protect" I'm definitely going to kill the child.i am not taking care of another child i have no part in creating.been there done that, not having that on my to do list ever again.
CRANTINS (Duke's Mansion)
Marcus was glad he's second son was nothing like the first,no unnecessary development during the pregnancy or extra ordeal during the delivery,he got a perfectly healthy child with no deformity this time.
Though he was not particularly happy with the fact his in-laws were coming over, after all he had cheated his father in-law into taking his other disappointment and was sure the man would cause a commotion, when he sees what he should have had instead of the coreless child.
But he was ready to make sure all the blame goes to the king after all he did have a hand in this. Hmmm they arrived he taught when they drove into the compound.
Hello Victor, hello Aurelia welcome. Marcus greeted
Marcus, was all Victor said.
Hello dear now where is my daughter and the new child
This way lady Aurelia, Marcus said while thinking ( he is definitely still angry).
Brat won't you say hi to your father, Marcus heard Victor say before he realizes they came with his other child and something in Victor voice confused him.
You know i bowed,if he doesn't acknowledge my existence it's not my fault and i sure as hell won't force it, just because he's my biological father.
Hahaha hahaha, that so like you brat let's go see this brother of yours, Victor said while holding his stomach from laughter.
Marcus just stood there looking at the two walking after Aurelia and talking like actual father and son who respected each other but couldn't or wouldn't let the other here them saying it even if it the last word they could ever say.
Now he was sure something is definitely not right,at first when he's father in-law took the boy and didn't say anything for months he taught it was his wife that was putting him in place but when he didn't so much as come to cause even a little trouble after news of his daughter pregnancy became public, Marcus taught it was definitely strange.
Now unless the boy has some especially powerful ability to be likable which is unlikely to work on someone on the level of Victor then there must be a secret between Victor and his child that has brought acceptance from a previously angry Victor.
This secret must be found out because if he's instinct were right and he has made a mistake that Victor has seen the benefits of,then even if it will make him look like a bad father he must get the child back and agree to the previous agreed upon contract.
Because if all the events around the child birth is of any importance then he might have just given a treasure to his father in-law because it was raped in mud while he chose to keep nothing more than a glowing rock.
