"Well then..." I said as I walked out of the cave chewing on a piece of goblin meat.
I wasn't that bad, similar to chicken, I bet it would be even better fried.
I bet your thinking...
"GoBliN MeaT Is SuPPosEd tO be DisGusTing! Isn'T ThIs bOrdErLiNe CanAba-
Shut up
Why don't you die, join the Fight After Death and try and grilled goblin leg, then you can prove to me that its bad by convulsing and die.
To be honest, it might actually be bad, my theory is that the only reason I'm enjoying this delicacy was because of this.
[You have evolved into a half demon]
"Demon...
A demon is a supernatural entity, typically associated with evil, prevalent historically in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore; as well as in media such as comics, video games, movies, anime, and television series.
Demons should be powerful, since they are feared even in my past life, but now I am one.
Also, I noticed I had a boner when the fight ended.
Strange... don't think I got turned on by a green nerd, I have a wife.
My theory was that I evolved due to my special system, experiencing a life and death situation let me be reborn and eventually become a demon, demons are sinful, so I can see the connection. I also remember feeling the need for blood, power, money, food, sleep, status, and sex. I can't lie to myself, but that lustful feeling was rapid, I hope this doesn't happen in my inevitable return to public. The amount of stone cold beauties and prideful young masters scares me.
"Aww, its over." I said as I threw my goblin leg over my shoulder, but something crazy happened.
[You have gained a goblin soul! Skill absorbed: Chomp!]
"Whats this!" I exclaim.
[Souls are the secondary source of power other than marks. Souls are the literal souls of other beings, they can be shaped into three categories, weapons, armors, skills, and artifacts.]
"So if I eat my enemies, I can gain stuff!" I said in excitement.
This world is getting crazier by the second.
I had no goals for the moment, I was pretty bored too. The inventory was an amazing addition to my system, I stored some dead goblins in there, not for selling. I also saw Eriven's daggers. They were super clean and sharp, but I noticed nothing else, no magical feeling for anything like that. Finally, there was the inventories guide. I wonder who thought it was a good idea to put the inventories notes inside the inventory, anyway...
[INVENTORY GUIDE]
[Tips: Think of the inventory and it will appear]
[Notes:]
[This inventory freezes anything in time, no expiration, nothing will move]
[Limited to 10 by 10 feet of space, upgrade by 1 inch for 10,000 SP, talk to system for more info on upgrading]
The tips part was bullshit, I opened the inventory with common sense.
The freezing part was nice though, goblin legs forever!
"System, what is SP" I asked.
[SP is system points you can gain by doing special quests and when you reach level 10, you will gain 10 SP each time you level up. The system shop also unlocks at level 10. The public shop available to all players is available after the first gathering]
"What is the first gathering?"
[Information costs 1,000,000 SP]
"So you're telling me you don't want to tell me what this first gathering thing is?"
[Yes]
"Ok..." this system was too honest.
Well, the new goal was level 10, something was telling me that once I unlock the shop, I will gain a huge power boost.
And it was common sense.
...
It has been 2 years, maybe more...
I miss my family, I rarely get to see dad and mom, I hope my little sister is ok.
I have only been a hindrance even since my mark awakened.
Once the world discovered I was a god mark wielder, countless guilds ranging from silver to the highest grade, master, were trying to recruit me. The amount of threats my parents faced was scary. Frankly, the only reason we stayed safe was because my dad was a retired general in the federation who had the governments backing. If not, I'm afraid some disgusting things would have occurred, but now even with his backing, I was in this situation.
If only I didn't awaken my mark, if only greedy people didn't exist. My family... Aka...
Remembering the day Aka died hurts me more than anyone could.
He was my savior, the one that pulled me out of my dark times, but all I could do in return was burden his family with my mark and eventually... kill him.
Life here is very bland, training, eat, train even more, break, train again, sleep and repeat.
I have some friends, turns out, they are all also god mark wielders. We rarely get to see each other. Probably because the organization training us doesn't want us planning anything bad.
What that void wielder told me was that if I pass the tests, me and my family will be free, but I will graduate to be a soldier for this mysterious organization.
All I hope is that the rest of my family is safe, I don't care if I have to be a slave to this union, as long as I don't damage what me and my family love.
They may also have a way to save Aka... what am I doing, he is already dead, get over it.
I say all of this family talk, but I just want to live, it isn't enough for my family to be safe, I need to be there with them. I'll find a way to escape.
There are also so many amazing people here who need saving too.
There is Harry, who has the mark of the Flame God Hephaestus, and Vault, who has the mark of Thor, the God of Thunder, and-
"Hey Kushi! Time for training!" a boys voice could be heard outside my room.
I opened the door and saw a muscular young boy, he had shabby white hair and bright green eyes. Though I hate to admit it, his beautiful face made my heart waver. He was surprisingly happy even in this hell hole.
"Hi, Skyler."
