She didn't stop crying or clean the snot for a long time.
She sputtered out some words as I sat there holding her.
I cleaned her face and after a thirty-minute montage.
she calmed down long enough to explain.
Except it went from sorrow to anger...
"There there please don't cry!"
She looked at me.
" I am sorry for hurting you...
I was angry at you for trying to take advantage of papa."
She said sniffling.
" But I am not his son...
I was just being helped by your father?!
How is he?
I heard I've been out for a few weeks?"
Her eyes lit up.
"You aren't related to me?!"
She moved quickly as she grabbed her bag.
I flinched as she moved and began drying up her tears.
"I am not.. un related.
I had an incident that led me to be left on your stables ground...
He helped me!
Although I ran into you at such a heated moment."
She finished drying her eyes as her stare turned blank.
" OH I thought I had killed another of my brothers..."
Her head drooped and she looked down as I completed going over that sentence in my head before blurring.
" killed another Brother??"
She flashed a cold look my way before saying her peace.
" I feel guilty but knowing I am not related the guilt is lessened."
I visibly flinched before I noticed she was gathering her things to leave...
" well I would like to thank you for the help you gave, And for your fathers help."
She gave me another cold look.
" You are poorer then me and are probably going to be sold as a slave thanks to the treatment.
You can thank me by keeping your debt to yourself."
Her eyes seemed to be cruel but the look she gave me was sorrowful...
I couldn't let her leave like that so when she stood up I stepped past her.
She scoffed and looked down at me I stepped forward and gave her a hug as tight as possible.
" Thank you for everything!
I Wanted make sure you understood my sincererity!"
She shoved me to the side before Running out and that was the last I saw of her...
I heard from behind me DweiGege laughed as he made a few jabs at me.
" Let's be clear, you are to young to melt hearts.
And certainly to smart to act so childlike.
That will result in more anger than it will in the conveying feelings. "
I shook my head and had Felt the sweat that formed.
I guess that was a situation where I Just got to deal with it when we reach it...
We left the Medical treatment center and he turned right, I was thinking about the job I was supposed to do!
I looked around and it seems he figured out my line of thought.
" That little girl finished the job so technically she was paid for it.
Jobs here are based off of the completer, unless you have contract for the job."
He finished as he kept walking we took A right turn down dark alley Before finding some odd stairs.
He pushed the door open And we went down those stairs, it went at least three floors deep before we found another door.
The stairs went even further down and once again he answered my thoughts.
"This is the catacombs of King George.
They were made from the old cities that were underground.
I live in the last district.
Any floor Below the third Is Were the Void existences live.
my floor is the last floor The government cleans, although it's free and I choose To live here to save some money.
Although most mixed races are kept out of sight."
The Last sentence made me think about racism in a nut shell.
" So Racism Still exists."
He looked at me as we walked down a black corridor with a small light that barely lit the wall.
" Still exists? When has it never existed...
You are one strange kid."
I broke a toothy smile.
" I am your brother so that doesn't work."
His eyes widened as he started laughing.
" You are right...
A Dwarf teen with an odd Human kid."
He scoffed at his own words as we passed a large sliding door.
He grabbed the second handle as the light flickered.
He grabbed the handle tighter and pulled hard.
A loud metal squelch sounded echoing through the corridor and as it opened the outside that looked terrible, Rusted, and worn down.
Was Totally hiding the Master piece behind it.
The light inside was bright, The walls white and pure.
The floor was an odd Blue Hue.
It looked like a pure white room, With the exception of the floor!
I woke up no really I was dreaming here...
I hoped that is.
I felt a hand on my back push me into the white room.
" Good time To finish the first experiment!"
I heard his words and almost fell over.
He was grinning dangerously and I had no words for him...
His hand stretched towards me as I backed up out of worry.
First of all I am small, Second I am Not Strong enough to fight him, And third I was scared...
His hand stretched past me and grabbed a white coat, it blended into the wall so well I couldn't see it...
The hook appeared after he took the coat and I noticed the hook was kind of like a knob to a door.
he Put his coat up walking to the far side of the room.
He placed his hand on the wall and spoke.
" E verification, Bio scan."
As his voice resounded so did a metallic one, It verified him before I heard hissing.
That lead to stuff appearing out of the walls, Floor and the roof...
It turned into a real mad scientists lab as he stared at me with a large toothy grin.
" This is my facility, This is why I am a little poor."
his eyes shifted to the tank.
" This is my first experiment with Genes.
I have used alchemy also to create magical cells, Science to create organs, And other means...
The first creature I made is this chimeramunculus.
It was supposed to be bipedal though, So it seems to be a failure."
I was intrigued and grossed out and I guess it showed on my face...
" Don't be afraid of any of this, I am not doing any harm and I don't do live experiments.
I create life but I refuse to harm others or creatures, so I take samples with permission only.
And I work from there!"
My mind was still in the gutter thinking of mad scientists who know alchemy!
And I blustering the thought blurted out...
" So are the chimeramonculus alive?"
he flinched before answering.
" They do gain life, But I have yet to get one to gain sentience.
Although they follow commands and are a bit stronger than normal Low grade beasts.
They don't require much more to kill though, They have a lot of weaknesses unlike real beasts who only have a few, Or only one at sometimes.
Elements don't work on chimeramonculus, But the real beasts have Elemental classification and challenges.
is there a curiosity?"
He held his hand out as a small black beetle flew out.
" This is my companion, He is a guardian scarab beetle.
Its name is Cara.
Its only a low grade beast but can Kill A mid grade beast.
I modified it so that the doom Of fear is not significant just to increase the life span.
But otherwise it is a plain beetle."
He let the bug do what it wanted as I was starting to get tired of standing I went to sit on the floor and a small light shot out of the ground.
It solidifying into a chair that my butt landed on, I was expecting floor but then that happened.
I gasped in shock as I stood and the little bastard disappeared from site...
I waved my hand over the floor and nothing!!
I went to sit again this time expecting it.
And sure enough it appeared!
I waved my hand at the chair while sitting and my hand went right through it like it was just a projected image?!
He noticed me.
" It seems you don't know the tech well?
Have you never seen this before?"
"Never!!"
I replied with shock and a sting in my mind as my whole body shook.
I fell over on the floor and the last thing I remembered was him rushing to me...
When I woke up I was in a stiff bed and my mind immediately screamed panic as I shot up.
" Dammit I was the experiment!"
I heard an obnoxiously annoying laugh and a string of words through wheezing.
" Don't make such scary jokes!!"
He held his side.
" Besides I am not a Biological maniac!
My science is for make creature stronger, There is to many scientists in the Bio Humanity field.
That Even if I was to discover something like that They would murder me and claim the work for them selves!
But the creature field is wide open!"
He explained while gasping for air in between each phrase emphasizing his words!
"No one questioned the Beasts Physiology!"
They don't think the beasts need the Power, But almost everyone has accepted just taming them or domestication them.
We have Veteranary physicians for only domestic and tamed creatures
I have chosen To master them truly!
I will be the best Vet and medic ever!
One day I could even become a Guardian master in both fields!
Leave this shifty planet and enjoy freedom in the stars!"
I contemplating his words felt like I was the one without a goal and listening to him.
I felt pinch in my head Why was I in pain?!
" That is the Palace of Dantian Going out of Control."
I looked at him with expectancy.
He shrugged and continued explaining.
" First, I guess let me break it down...
The ranks of beasts are simplest, But don't get me wrong.
The realms of strength is superficial, The reason we classified them at all was because the worlds ruled by them not humans.
There strength can be constructed in more ways than JUST power, Those strong in mana may be weak at fighting.
Those who excell at power may be able to Fight but lack in aspects like Elements.
They may get killed through any number of means, but as the ranks go humans use it to keep an eye on the representation of power.
The ranks go
White,
Yellow,
black,
Blue, These are the Four Low grade beasts ranks.
Next Is.
Green,
Silver,
black Silver,
Gold, These four are the mid grade Beast Ranks
Next Is.
Black gold,
platinum,
Pure Platinum,
Amethyst, These are the four High grade beast ranks.
Next is.
demi Saint,
Saint,
Great Saint,
Demi God, These Four Are Royal grade beasts, Hope you never encounter any in fear of angering them.
The next three Ranks are ancestor Rank and they often Take on a DiaForm Which makes them take on an almost human Look.
Those ranks Are.
God,
Progenitor,
And Master Progenitor.
The humans Are much harder to discern from just ranks as they have low Realm, mid Realm and high Realm Along with ranks from high to low with levels .
'One must conquer all Ranks and levels in each realms.'
~Lower Origin Realm.~ Origin Realm.
~Middle Warrior Realm~ Warrior Realm.
~Higher phantom Realm~ Phantom Realm.
Although one doesn't have to memorize all the ranks Because it is common practice To Share ones Rank in battle.
Those Three or more Tiers above Or below are not allowed to battle againstone another, This is called Tier Equality.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE SCOTT FREE!
They can always get a younger Dog to bury the bone!!"
I felt his anger As he yelled.
He looked at me for a second then took a deep breath.
one must Grow through cultivation to survive simply put.
Power is everything.
Even the commonplace person cultivates some.
If not there is a sickness called Drench Fever.
The Meridians in your body will grow inept and eventually, you will get a bad energy Build.
With no way to release Bad Energy It will result in the energy poisoning you and then killing you.
The common Practice of Announcing ones power Goes Realm, Tier, rank, level.
For courtesy and Class cultivators often Skip the rank and level, One can't always Reveal Every single bit of Information.
But there are those whom are egotistical.
Royals And rich snobs who feel that there money and power reflect one another.
That is not true any how.
The tiers go.
White tier,
green tier,
blue tier, 3 Low Tiers cultivation
Orange tier,
purple tier,
Bronze tier, 6 Mid Tiers cultivation
Iron tier,
Silver tier,
Gold tier, 9 High Tiers cultivation
platinum Tier,
Obsidian tier,
Amethyst teir. 12 Peak Tiers cultivation
Each Tier has Six ranks,
Bronze,
Iron,
Silver, LOWER RANK
gold,
Obsidian,
amethyst. HIGHER RANK.
Once again Most cultivators just use the Realm and Tier.
Which Not everyone who cultivates has to become a warrior realm.
although everyone strives to be powerful.
Yet you will find a lot of people In the origin realm And they never make it past the high Tiers.
Those who are only able to have produced that much are because they have gone through Life already.
Which Only top cultivators make it into the Warrior Realm.
And only The best of the best make the Phantom realm!
Although the human race is able to live a very long time already at close too two hundred years.
Those who cultivate seriously, can increase even that up to Two too three thousand years.
Although cultivation is what we are dependent upon.
Taming Is also a very viable way to succeed and has its own ranks.
The Ranks of taming are as follows,
Trainee,
Disciple,
Practitioner,
Graduate,
Expert,
Leader,
Master,
Grand Master,
Legend,
Ancestor,
Great ancestor,
and Saint.
The Levels are one through Five on each rank.
Although taming Is and can be combined to assist with cultivation it in itself is a viable option for those with weaker cultivation to break through.
And Beast taming is just as competitive as cultivation.
A beast in tandem can help a cultivators soul In the Soul share realm and the void realm.
Depending upon the person, It is even possible to never cultivate As long as you can Have a loyal beast.
They can absorb the negative energy Growing by themselves, And one would never have to cultivate.
Although that depends on that beast and its loyalty...
That sometimes goes bad!
Karma and all that."
He looked at his Wrist and it lit up Before he stood and walked over to an empty area.
I notice that the room had changed, It was an Odd feeling.
It was like a small Yurt house Circulate.
He told the computer
'F Database, Pizza and macaroni.'
I wasn't expecting what happened next the Light made a table and began to make food out of thin air.
My eyes Burnt.
I couldn't believe that.
He walked back and sat with me as I was just lost.
" just get used to it.
This is an Alien tech that can be easily bought from the market, It makes food in its database As long as you have the Ready Made Data.
We have adapted and can make anything with it.
Although alchemy must be done by hand to make pills, Poison, And full Potions.
We can still make small Regents or salves.
But common sense says If we have space travel we have the technology for other things right?
We even have foreign Interstellar companionship, and even Treaties with whole other galaxies.
Everyone has their own version of power but just worry about your own for now.
It seems you are close to an Overload of energy.
and your Meridians are Not very strong...
Poor cultivation.
We need to get you a beast soon."
I looked at him In shock and he just nodded at me.
His anger was seething and I flinched as I heard his words...
" We will have to Pay the Guild for a hunting license and hope they don't put out for Hire to someone who robs us blind!
The Freaking slobs of the adventurers guild are just sell swords for hire, and If we hire a tamer the may steal it and take the Payment also!
The trash Allows this to happen and I am Not a cultivator.
I am a tamer From the Low grade beast class, Earth element.
And My Creatures are a hive group but are weak, even though they are tough.
I also Have a slime But it is a healer slime of the Earth element also.
So I am no help to you... "
