Sam doesn't know what to make of this situation.

Destiny? Fate? Fortune telling? Does he believe them?

He doesn't know. He couldn't bring himself to believe them. He couldn't bring himself to believe the fact that his life was just a book that could be pre-read even before he experienced it. Nor could he accept that what he would do with his life was already decided and the decision of the not his own rather some unknown force that he doesn't know.

This is completely unacceptable.

But there is an example right in front of him. In fact, he is an example. It is too difficult and almost moronic to believe this is a coincidence.

Sam is pretty sure that a creature like him doesn't exist in this universe. After all, there is no such thing as a half-vampire and half-human, in fact, even the existence of those beast bloodlines is more feasible.

But now he is at a loss for words and doesn't know what to do.

"What else did he say?"

"He told me to do whatever you say and trust him unconditionally."

"Really, what would you do if I ask you to sleep with me?"

Sam asked with a smirk.

"Do you really want to?" She asked without a change in expression. The tranquility didn't go anywhere.

"No need. I am just joking." Sam shook his head and replied. From the looks of it, she didn't even take her body as something precious when it concerned him. She might really do it, if he said yes.

Sam took a deep breath and asked.

"I can accept you. But before that, I have to test what you are really doing. I want know what kind of effects your art has. So, would it be okay to ask you to show it to me?"

"No problem."

Both of them went to the nearby room and Sam laid on his stomach on his bed after removing his top.

She carefully placed her hands on his back and the wood elemental energy slowly flowed into his body and before Sam knew the muscles are hurting.

It is as if his muscle fibers are twisted all over.

He took a deep breath, but he didn't move.

She is just demonstrating what kind of damage she can do. After that, she started smoothing over these knots of muscle fibers and she is doing it precisely.

"May I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why do you have so many scars on your body?"

"After all the things you knew about my body? Is this really the thing you want to ask? Not the elements, not the bloodlines?"

"I am sure, they are something that I shouldn't be asking."

"You are as smart as I thought. But before that, there is one thing I want to ask. Why should I believe you are telling the truth? You might be lying to enter my school to help the elves. After all, with our new staff, even the elders might be having some trouble. Why should I trust you? You might even be their pawn."

"What should I do to make you trust me?"

"I will tell you that later. You asked about the scars; right? Why did you ask that?"

"You seem to be good at healing. I heard it from the rumors about Ramya, but why did you leave all the scars there?"

"As that fortune teller said, they are the marks of my journey. Every scar represents the battle I got it in and also the price I paid to win that battle. They are important life lessons so that I won't make the same mistake again."

"Now that you mention it, there are barely any scars that intersect, but your body is only that big, you wouldn't be able to maintain that right?"

"Then all the more reason to become stronger and more skilled so that I won't get injured."

By this time, the muscle fibers are all repaired and Sam stood up. He felt a lot lighter. He could guess what kind of art this is.

"You can join in and open your own sub-department under the healer department. You can have your own class and the timings are also up to you. The pay also wouldn't change. I don't like going back on my word.

Go and meet the teacher named Shork and tell him I sent you. He would take care of the rest."

"Thank you so much."

"For now, just focus on teaching your art. There is no need to care or worry too much about some family taking you down. They can try all they want. As long as you work for me. Unless someone that could destroy the whole charbhum realm with a single move appears, you don't have to worry about anything."

With that he sent her away and now. The next day, he went out in search for the beast.

He couldn't delay it anymore.

From what he learned the war with the sea folks is going into a standstill as the elves, humans and centaurs retaliated severely.

The sea folks are showing signs of retreat. But the elves are not really willing to let go of this chance and decided to go all out against them.

It wouldn't last too long and after it was over, it would be time for them to go.

He did his research and Shork has also taken it up on himself to look into it when he came out of the forest.

The Shork is none other than the strongest person under Sam. The Shop Keeper from Naga loka.

This is the alias the shop keeper created to himself for some reason when he was told that he would be taking him to Charbhum realm.

This is a bit confusing for Sam, but not by too much.

When he got these five people from the Desolate realm to this place, they stayed in those danger zones for a while and Sam asked them to take note of any beasts that are good at using wood elemental energy.

And everyone gave their options out of which Shork gave the best option.

It is actually a bear type beast that is good at wood elemental energy. Sam has a feeling that he would find something similar to that of the Golden Ape in terms of its bloodline.

He skimmed through the bestiary once again and looked at the bear type beasts that have the wood elemental energy and there are some options.

And there is even a great list of variants of them.

He checked with Shork and it turned out that there are really some decent options. With bloodline refinement he can really get a beast that is not too low level.

So, he prepared for his journey and left the capital.

He traveled for a day and night and entered the danger zone.

The forest is lush and green everywhere. The trees are so big that every single one of them is at least a few hundred feet tall. They are also too thick and wide that it would take at least three people to completely hug a single tree.

There are few trees of smaller size.

Very few people enter this forest and the ones that dared to enter and managed to return will always have a treasure in their hands.

Everything in this forest is valuable and there are some legends stating that the deeper they go the dangerous the beasts would be and the fewer chances that they would return.

But Sam is not exactly worried, because he is not planning to go too deep and even if he accidentally went, he can use the dimensional drifter to escape, he already locked the coordinates and filled it with spiritual energy.

The only problem is that along with Sam there are some people that are following from far away.

There are still some greedy people who want to mess with Sam and this forest is their best bet. What happens inside stays inside and this forest is one of the most dangerous places on the planet, it is only expected that some accidents might happen. They just want to because of that accident.

Sam who already went a decent distance into the forest looked back and muttered to himself.

"This is going to be a long search with these pesky obstacles."

There are just too many people he has to kill.

And thus Sam's little adventure in this dangerous forest began.

For the next month, he didn't come across a beast that he liked and even he liked something that is not really suitable for him. He just caught them and took them with him. They would contribute to the animal population in the divine dimension and also to the ecosystem of the desolate realm.

While he is searching for the beast, all the mercenary teams and individuals that are after Sam are being killed. But not by Sam directly.

He made use of the chessboard after a long time and let the Wights out.

The Wight team is extremely surprised and delighted to be in a forest such as this. Every large tree here has a vitality that was accumulated for hundreds of years and even more. This is the best place for them to be to get rapid growth.

So, now they are not only helping him with clearing the followers, they can also grow stronger and also help with the search.

After this one month, Sam finally saw the traces of the beast he liked.
