In the dual-cultivation world there was a country surrounded by vast wilderness, and in this country there was a mountain which is covered in castles with center castle that is beyond big . The aura it carries make not only mortal but even awakened palpitate.
Scarlet moon family takes this magnificent piece of art as their source of pride second to powerful military might .
In the main castle an extra ordinarily handsome man can be seen just below the giant gate , probably going out to carry out the order as solemn person can be seen on the throne with, only shadow accompanying him in smaller throne, only an outline of human sitting on the throne can be seen and no other person was there on this magnificent hall.
Army of people of about 100 can be seen waiting for him , giving off dangerous aura . He walked up to them as if not seeing the dangerous vibe they were emitting and with barely audible sound he waved them as if asking to follow him.
Which was fulfilled by dangerous 100 men with utmost seriousness . On the way people doing various activity could see them .
Crown Prince seems to be going out , that's unexpected!) Middle aged guard guard exclaimed.
Another younger guard asked what's so unexpected about it ?
" You don't know but i heard situation of country is getting complicated" middle aged guard replied
Waking up listening to birds chirping Kaal stretched his arm and looked at the horizon and surprised for long sleep , it was almost afternoon . He carried the left over food he scammed after pretty hard work of convincing the waiter . Cant go hungry tonight he said to himself.
And felt urgent to decide what to do from here , what made him perplexed was lack of beast soul for for awakening soul talent . He doesn't have any money to even buy food let alone buy beast soul and there was no option of killing the beast soul at all. His parents might be able to kill blue class beast soul but they don't have capacity to purify and preserve the beast soul which will cost a lot.
He doesn't even know if they are safe, and when he will meet them again " Praying they are safe ,he decided to look at the book recording the seer art . Just looking at first few line brought black lines on his forehead " very first paragraph asks him to make a hole in his pupil with light element and inject the elemental soul energy in described nerves of eyes and heal it with light element to germinate celestial seed.
These lines made his brain throb with irritation," what sort of messed up book is it " he decided to stop reading it , but on second thought he continued ,as he doesn't have any thing but time hence , continued reading.
There was other chapter where it was mentioned that making hole was the very final level of seer art and it was not to be tried without proper guidance. And came the line where it was mentioned to pour blood to know in depth to get started on the path of seer ,after with everything was blank which sounded ridiculous to him and all the goodwill kaal built up for book was gone down the drain.
He had seen guard B cutting his finger and pouring his blood during the interrogation , and gave him the book afterward hence he gave up on the idea that the book was genuine.
He decided to believe that the book was nothing but prank as only soul weapon needed blood of user no manual required blood. hence he decided against going further as being hurt wasn't one of his hobby. Hence he decided to ask around the market place to get better knowledge about jobs he can carry out, can't go around scamming people , who know's when he might get caught.
Walking around the market place kaal occasionally asks around know if they need helpers but unfortunately , nobody wants unawakened scrawny teenager with no valid identity, as he was hiding his identity.
With no job prospect , no money and no family to rely on , no beast soul to awaken at the perfect time, he was on the edge of hopelessness , roaming around the alleys and street of Besi city asking around for jobs and helper , he even asked for being servants of peasents whom he wouldn't have even given a glance if it wasn't for his hopeless situation.
After about 2 hour of roaming he sat beside the seller of some sort of antique seller claiming he has beast soul for sale without grade as it was found in the ruins in the wild with no means to identify as there wasn't any level mentioned.
kaal was ecstastic not being able to handle his throbbing heart he looked at the man at his side, and asked " what is the price old man"
to which old man replied " how about i sell it for you at 10 gold kid"
All enthusiasm he felt knowing beast soul was for sale died down as fast as it came. Forget 10 gold coins he didn't even have 10 copper coin.
seeing his dejected face old man knew he was poor hence he decided to ask for 5 gold coin. Kaal became even more dejected at his situation, he was trying to get beast soul from shady old man without knowing its class , where has all his ambition gone those glorious dreams , are they supposed to die just like that ?
He stood up and started moving towards the shops again trying to look for job as those dreams and ambition weren't going to fill his stomach any way.
It was almost evening and kaal was still trying to get his job as according to his calculation he might have to go hungry tomorrow as there wasn't any body to provide him food without disclosing his identity .
Hence he kept on asking and one of the man rudely mentioned him to join the military camp crown prince was going to establish if he wasn't willing to disclose his identity , and was afraid of going hungry. Hearing this he thought to himself atleast he got leads to not go hungry. But on second thought scarlet sword family might have been destroyed by royal family and if they were to know he was from scarlet family his life might even more miserable hence he decided not to go and look for jobs instead.
With no place to sleep and no job to eat his fill he dejectly thought about sleeping on the alley as there was no any choice left. As he was walking towards the street he saw lots of people moving in one direction with bright smile obviously something good happened. He hurriedly latched himself to the group and listened to their talk where he got to know that the information about destruction of scarlet family was finally made public.
Shighing at the lack of compassion of people , they were happy at death of thousands of people and were in their festive mood . But with second thought even he was happy with the prospect of wealth when it was his own family that was destroyed , there was no reason for them to be happy as they were going towards the estate to collect the wealth of family and even had chance to see the crown prince who knows ,crown prince might take liking to them and take female as maid and male as guards. Seeing their delusion he mentally sneered at their naive thinking .
