《New Path》Chapter 52 - System information and Evolver privilege
Advertisement
" So what do we do next, do we got to hunt to level up because I don't think with so many people coming, our food in the hotel wouldn't still be there when we come back"
Hector said as he looked at the people passing in the street in front of the hotel entrance and some of the people looked at them and their barricade with cars and they could see a smirk on their face or rather helplessness as if they looked at some dead people.
" No, go back to the hotel we will fill our backpack with food and take them with us just in case when we come back that the place isn't already taken "
I said as I quickly to get an exact number of people walking in the street further in the inner west district where there was some villa and private compounds.
No one objected to my plan as no one wanted to have their things being stolen with the state of the city ancient right might no more be applying even with some military to maintain order.
and from the number of people I counted in the last ten minute and four to five hundred people already passed but there were still more coming in separated groups.
And Eillen who was finally happy to see some government authority quickly lost all her happiness as she witnessed the state of those people, they smelled so strong that even though she was a little away about one or two meters from the crowd she could still smell different odors from sweat blood and whatever other smell it was that she didn't want to know what it was.
" ok let's go stop watching we have to go and level up, and we come later to ask for more information about what happened to them and for some clue about some of your acquaintances it's still morning not sure what hours thought we better take this chance and leave this safe area and go a little further in the at the limit of the city center if we could and hunt stronger beasts "
but hearing my words they all looked at me like if I was some lunatic guys, and shake their heads.
I wanted to ask what I said wrong but restrained from asking.
I said one last time looking back at Clement Lester and their group who kept looking at the crowd of people hoping maybe to see some relative or someone they know.
We quickly got back in the hotel going into our room and taking some of our clothes that we took of our spare clothes that we intended to left here with other commodities hygiene stuff, and went back to the underground floor-filling our bag to the brim.
So far at least each of them had about twenty of thirty points in strength Stamina or constitution and making them at least thrice stronger enduring and well fit than most of the normal humans who had their stat at ten depending on their health and their physical condition generally it was around ten for a well-grown man.
maybe Sarah was the least stronger of all of us with a weak constitution she took fewer things in her bag and decided to take only the high nutrient food and more bottle of water, her bag looked now like some kind of military one as full as it could but didn't weigh that much.
she could only lower her head in embarrassment as she knows that she was really weak focusing most of her stat to be Agility while having good Stamina now looked not so good but as she thought about her skill and the help she provided she quickly raised her head, less embarrassed to which the others just looked at her not sure what was happening in her mind.

As we came back to the ground floor and came out of the hotel We could hear Sky's low growl making us hastened our step to check what was happening, as we forgot about them when we were downstairs.
but seeing that he was just playing with Lisa's Snake as he felt bored seeing so much human but that they smelled so strong that it hurt his nose, he came close to the snake only to be almost hit by its tail as it hissed at him.
it was kind of strange to see a huge dog like him behave like that even with his intelligence being this of a human kid.
I could only shake my head as I heard his explanation of what happened from our shared link and the fact that about ten soldiers were pointing their guns at him seemed to not bother him or just that he didn't think they could harm him with how afraid they seemed although they tried to hide it with their neutral face as they looked at the surroundings of the hotel, he was still able to notice from their micro movement that they weren't threatened were rather afraid of him.
For the soldiers who were tasked to stand there if anything goes wrong, as the man who was watching them saw them enter the building leaving him with those two beasts he thought it might be best to have some support here in case, things went south putting only this amount of soldier with the fact that they needed most of them to stand on each side to protect the convoy of each group it was the maximum they could split, to keep in check those beasts.
" Hi are you friends, with the guy who was here before, I don't remember what its name was ughh "
- " It's Doug I think "
Sarah responded as she didn't recognize the soldier among those standing a few meters away from the car barricade.
As I came toward those guys trying to calm them down, but instead they turned their guns at me looking at me wearily.
Wooww!!
I was surprised by their movement and almost instinctively withdrew my sword but remember they had guns and stayed in a battle stance not sure what to do now with how stressed they seemed I didn't want to take a bullet by error.
" Hey easy there, he isn't a threat calm down guys, he might seem frightening but he is a good guy don't look at the wound on his neck he isn't some gang member he got it after fighting some of the beasts out there in the city "
But hearing Fred's voice as he passed me, it's now that I remembered or rather felt that My bloodline pressure had been released while I came out instinctively to fight.
But the part about my wounds on my neck and the things about some gang member makes me almost want to slap this guy in the back of his head, so what now I survived and got a scar and he took me for a gangster!!.
" don't cause trouble here and why are you so excited for anything can't you still control your bloodline outburst like Lisa "
John came close to me as he tapped my shoulder and looked at Fred as he was talking to the soldiers who quickly loosed their guard and stood back at their initial posture, their gaze still didn't leave me or Sky and Lisa's snake thought.
I Sighed Exhausted from talking so much just in the morning.

" Just let's go already, it hasn't even been one hour and it's like it's been a day, I didn't think meeting so many people after an apocalypse crisis could be so stressful and annoying for my mind "
I said it under my breath at John exasperated as I contained my eagerness to fight coming from my bloodline it's now that I noticed that my impulsiveness that calmed down a few days ago was stronger than before and my heartbeat rate slightly faster, as I turned back toward the hotel hall since I left my bag in my hurry.
John next to me just looked at me but didn't say anything, as he looked at Fred who seemed to have finished talking with the soldiers and came toward us
now with our backpack almost above our head, as it was filled to the brim, we were ready to leave, but we still had to wait as With Lisa's snake size and Sky, passing through the group of people in the road would be troublesome and might cause panic among the survivors.
" can't we just go to the back of the hotel and make a detour "
Alex said in a frustrated tone as she tried to adapt to the weight on her back.
Sentient being of the baby planet X4 you have been given one week to accommodate to your world change, be aware now start the true path for the Evolution Die or become an apex being.
You will have a representative of each faction coming at you to give you knowledge about some of the rules of a baby world and its treasure, as promised after walking the path of an Evolver with the system help.
Be aware as most of the former Dominant race species of X4 accepted system help, its path and Growth will be impacted. ( Other species are likely to want to kill you, changing their nature pattern, depending on their level they could gain energy apart from their natural abilities to absorb it, from the system as compensation )
As we were about to finally decide to take another road to leave the inner west district hotel area, suddenly those prompts appeared and we were all surprised but reading that it concerned those that received the system help, I quickly dismissed them as I read all of them in hope that there was something for us with bloodline.
But as I read the last part of the blue screen I almost wanted to curse this system, so having to survive in this world wasn't enough and now the beasts could get also a reward for killing us, it was completely disadvantaging us.
It wasn't that strange that if we could kill them and get something it would be the same for them but the things about reward were another thing, as so far we didn't know how they were able to level up so fast.
I just decided to not care about it now anyway we still needed to level up and those pseudo-Representative still aren't here so better take this time to go hunt.
As we finished reading the prompts everyone looked at each other not sure what to think of these new prompts, deciding to not try to understand what was thinking this System.
and we were about to pass the alley between our hotel and the building next to it, as it was enough big to allow the two beasts to pass by there.
CRACK!!!!!
BOOOOOM!
But it seemed that this their day was to be unfruitful, for leveling up.
As we looked at the sky from where the sound of the explosion came from like some kind of fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, there stood people in the air with a human shape but we were barely able to distinguish their faces as the sun blocked our view and just to look at them hurt like if needles were piercing their eyes, so most of the people just listened what the man was saying trying to not look at them.
" Listen carefully those that waste my time better not think they would have another chance and better not miss this opportunity, Here take those bracelets they contain each a function that could be unlocked after leveling its rank, and the advantage you can receive from your faction and the System itself would be stored in this bracelet you can store anything else apart from what is given by your faction or your system. "
As the male voice that seemed like if it was a tremendous task just talk said numerous Silver watch like a normal watch appeared in front of them before connecting by force on one of their arms, but it was only for those with system help and those with a bloodline were quickly noticed and although they weren't quite a lot of them, they were a third of the whole survivor standing in the street.
the man just after everyone got their watch continued to talk
" Good, your System adviser will be linked to your Status and be able to choose a corresponding path for you depending on what you want to become and want to accomplish, this is all I have to say if you want further instruction ask your Adviser."
As the man finished to talk his figure disappeared from the sky as he was aspired in a black hole creating in the sky tiring it like broken glass before sucking the man in it and closing once again.
" wasn't it normally impossible to enter the planet normally "
I looked at Lester who asked the question dumbfounded by the scenario occurring in front of them.
" Nah it said no one can enter anymore and it's isn't like if it said that they couldn't leave. "
but as Adrien the Shy guy who didn't at all match his muscled stature said Lester just made an " O" shape with his lips, realizing that indeed it was true but the more disturbing for the others was that they paid attention to those details the System said.
But as they were about to focus on the grey bracelet on their arms, another thunderous voice resounded above them making them realize there were still two more people left in the Sky.
" humm hum I am a System Representent, I am here to announce to you low life, that valuable treasure had been scattered all over X4 and are waiting for you to be found if it hadn't been found by an evolved beasts already, each of those treasures had been given to you to give you a chance to fight back against the threat of the invading force of the Multiverse, that we're able to snick in before this baby world could create a World force on its own with the System help and those that might come later, you have been warned thrive to survive or perish like the insects that you are "
as it finished its speech he disappeared just like the last one but everyone could feel his disdain like if just staying there and seeing this phrase wasn't worth his time
I was surprised as I thought that there would be some kind of energy change in the air as they entered this black hole, because so far for whatever they did when using skills and manipulating the surrounding energy it moved the energy in the air like a stone being thrown in the water letting ripple on the surface, but I felt and saw nothing change near the rift like if it didn't at all used energy, like if those space crack were already there from the start.
this time everyone waited for the last person to talk so far everyone had forgotten to try to get a glimpse of what those being looked like they seemed to be human but from the feat, they were able to do they were already above the human genetic limit.
" Wielder, you are those that decided to not accept system help!!!, and therefore you have gained the Congratulation of some higher beings and therefore you will be granted with a bloodline upgrade, with no rafter that it would be up to you to find a way to upgrade the rank of your bloodline"
A simple but short speech but it was filled with some anger and hatred in them but it was so faint that unless someone tried to focus on his voice they would be able to notice the small fluctuation in its tone and he disappeared the same way as the other.
" What!!, so they came here just for that "
It was all the same phrase through everyone in the world that had been given the System watch thinking.

8 277The overgrown mansion
The main character returns to her deceased recluse uncle's home to get his effects in order. This is the beginning of a lovecraftian story inspired by somebody telling me about the Brombeermonster, a particulary nasty blackberry shrub overtaking her family's abandonned home. A backdrop for a story about eery and unexplained things if I ever heard about one. I will post the two parts I already posted on reddit; more maybe if there is interest from the community.
8 96Kingdom of Ice
"170 years ago, in a world where humans have evolved such that they could live on the ocean floor, and form cities there, Commandant Franklin led a hunting party on a reconaissance expedition north, traveling from the outer edge of the Indian Ocean, all the way to the High Arctic. His goal: to find the fabled Northwest Passages for the Vicegerent of Tridention, and establish business with underwater arctic cities there. But the expedition went awry, and they never returned. Everyone in the party was presumed dead. Until now. When two of the hunters from that same expedition find their way back to Tridention after all these years, Watson, a retired commandant for one of Tridention's thirty-five hunting parties, agrees to help those hunters form a ragtag party of their own, against their leadership's wishes, and travel all the way back to the same Northwest Passages to recover the rest of the hunting expedition. The hope is that their commandant, and other hunters, are somehow still alive and can be brought back home safely. "
