《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

With Alanda's help, it didn't take long for Rean to regain his consciousness. That being said, he immediately started to use his Light Element to slowly heal the injury in his chest. It took him an entire day to finish it, though. When he was finally standing again, it was already the last day of the group hunt.
Inna Malaka looked worried at Rean from a distance, which was quite funny.
"Well, what were you thinking to appear in that place?"
Inna looked down, ashamed, and murmured.
"Vice Tribe Leader always let you two do whatever you want, but when it is me, he still refuses. I also lightened up 7 small affinity orbs and have the same green aptitude level, so why is it only the two of you? That is not fair."
Rean looked at her and sighed. A kid is just a kid, after all. In the end, their reasons are always that simple.
"You watched our battle before the Leopard attacked you, right?"
Inna nodded while still looking at the ground.
"Then you should have noticed that we are a lot stronger than you. We can even fight adult warriors. Can you do that?"
Inna shook her head this time.
"There you go. Vice Tribe Leader let us do that because we are strong. Only the strong can do things like that. You are still too weak and need to cultivate a lot to reach our level. When the time comes that you are in the Energy Gathering Realm, the Vice Tribe Leader will let you do the same. Understood?"
Inna begrudgingly nodded.
"I'm sorry."
Rean laughed and then patted her head. He couldn't force himself to be that harsh with Inna. After all, his mental age is already 36 years old. Being angry at this kid would bring him nothing in the end. Things like punishment would be applied by Alanda later.

"It is good that you understand. Let's do this way. Once you reach the Spiritual Vision of the Body Transformation Realm, I will let you follow us to fight a little. But you will need to put an extra effort into cultivation."
Inna's eyes immediately shined, and she showed a smile as bright as the sun.
"You said it! You can't go back on your promise."
Rean laughed inwardly.
"What are you happy about? You still have Tribe Vice Leader's punishment awaiting you when we get back. Considering his harsh character, it definitely won't be anything nice."
Inna's smiled disappeared as fast as it came. On her face, fear could be seen now. Still, that only made Rean laugh even more.
Roan looked at him on the sides and saw that he was fine.
"Stop bullying the kid, and Let's go. We still have enough time to finish the last two Demon Beasts."
Rean nodded, and they immediately departed with Opril and Diakar. Of course, they told Alanda that they would be leaving again. Alanda didn't mind since he knows that the last event only happened due to Inna Malaka's actions. Otherwise, those two wouldn't have had any problem until the end.
Alanda then looked at Inna and said with a severe face.
"If you do that again, I will kill you myself."
Poor Inna almost pissed her pants.
Alanda then looked at the direction that Rean and Roan disappeared.
'What a frightening healing ability. Even the Alchemists in the City wouldn't be able to concoct a pill that efficient. In just one day, a fatal injury completely disappeared. Not even a scar was left behind. As for Roan, his Darkness Element can destroy life force. It is as frightening as Rean's Light Element. Juri is right, those two are fated to leave this remote place one day.'

Alanda put his attention back into his group and shouted.
"Let's go, we still have one last day in the forest, so let's make up for the wasted time. Also, Inna Malaka, you will have to clean one of the beasts' bodies alone."
Inna trembled and almost cried. But looking at Alanda's face was more than enough for her to understand that she would have no other choice. Crying would be utterly meaningless in front of that old man.
Their group quickly departed to continue their hunt.
On Rean and Roan's side, they had it quite relaxed. It didn't take more than a few minutes for them to find another demon beast. With Rean and Roan's teamwork, the battle was finished quickly.
[Stage One Demon Beasts Killed: 09]
"Phew... I guess I'm started to understand how to use the sword."
Roan nodded.
"You can thank this grandfather any time you want. If not for my teaching and the images that I'm sending to your mind, you wouldn't be even 1/10 as good as you are at the moment."
Rean nodded.
"Sure, we will be back to the Tribe tomorrow. You can have my dessert during the meal at that time."
Roan felt a chill on his back and immediately took several steps away.
"Who are you? What did you do to Rean?"
Rean's mouth twitched.
"Fuck you! I tried to thank you for once, and that is how you react?"
Roan kept rubbing his arms while looking at Rean. It was as if he was seeing something disgusting.
"Stay always from me, I don't want to get infected... Though I will accept your dessert."
Rean felt like crying but had no tears.
"Hmph!"
Diakar and Opril only shook their heads.
"Those two are beyond any salvation, just ignore them and let's bring this beast's body back to the leading group."
But it was at this moment that Rean felt a presence nearby. Or to be more specific, he felt life force! Not only that, but this life force was way bigger than any other Demon Beast that they killed so far.
"Diakar, Opril, get away from the corpse, now!"
The two guards didn't understand the problem, but seeing how panicked Rean was, they didn't dare to delay and jumped back as fast as possible. Suddenly...
Boom!
The ground caved under the Demon beast's corpse, and an enormous mouth grabbed it. Seeing that scene made Diakar and Opril's face go pale. If they had delayed just a second, it would probably be them in that place.
"It's a Scaled Earth Python! Why is it here on the outskirts of the forest? Rean, Roan, retreat!"
Diakar immediately took out the red bead and crushed it while they ran away. The Earth Python only took two seconds to send the entire beast's corpse down its throat. It then looked at those four runnings away and immediately gave chase.
"Don't stop! That is a Stage Two Demon Beast, we have no chance against it. Only Tribe Vice Leader Alanda will be able to do so."
Rean couldn't help but think.
'Just what kind of luck is this?'

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
