《Awakening of a Monster》Chapter 3 - Changes in the World and What Happens Next
Advertisement
Each of the green looking monsters was 6"5 and incredibly muscular. While this intimidated Jax and the others, Amon looked at them with an intense amount of disdain,
"Weaklings." Amon's powerful voice growled out at the green people, who Amon guessed should be Orcs. Him speaking that word elicited roars from the Orcs, but deep within their eyes, you could see the trepidation and fear at the being in front of them.
Amon made eye contact with Jax and motioned with his head for him to take Molly and his mother to the kitchen to see if they could fashion any weapons. He'd deal with the immediate threat.
Jax took ahold of Molly and told his mom to follow him as he dashed into the kitchen. Meanwhile, Lilith still seemed to be distracted by her changes and didn't quite notice the three green men in front of her.
Amon, however, glared at all of them, for some reason he felt rage at their audacity on barging into his home rather than fear for the 3 Orcs. "Get out, now." Amon's voice sounded incredibly fierce like it was in a permanent growl.
"Ha! We ain't goin' anywhere, friend. We're here to enjoy our new bodies and it looks like there are 3 women here that we can enjoy!" The bulkier of the 3 stepped forward and spoke in an incredibly disgusting voice. His tusks were sticking out of his lower lip and the rest of his teeth were shown through his ugly smile.
"Urgh!" that smile didn't last long though as he felt a vice-like grip tighten around his neck before he was lift off his feet like a small chick.
He felt something sharp piercing into his neck from the fingers holding him. "Oh? Do I have claws? How useful." Amon's voice sounded casual but the boiling wrath underneath it was hidden to none.
The other two orcs were shaking as they saw their big brother being lifted up by one arm effortlessly, like some kid. Amon's muscles wiggled under his skin as he flexed his arm crunching through the Orc's neck, killing it.
"Arghhh! Brother!" The Orcs seemed physically distressed by the death of the bulky Orc. So much so that they charged at Amon with red eyes filled with hatred. Big mistake.
Amon dropped the Orc he was holding and nonchalantly walked towards the charging Orcs. Even though he seemed to be walking at a normal speed, he just appeared in front of them and grabbed both of them by their heads.
"Crack!"
They were dead. Amon looked at his now clawed hands in surprise.
'It's so easy to kill. This physique change has changed more than just my body, my mind has been changed as well, not by much but just enough that I do actually seem like a demon.'

Amon mused to himself mentally as he flicked his hands about like he was trying to get some water off them but instead of water being flicked off, it was green blood, brain, and bits of dense skull.
As he flicked the 'dirt', as Amon thought it was, off his hands, Amon's friends and mother came back into the room. What they saw shocked them.
Those 3 bulky and gigantic Orcs were dead. One with its throat like it'd been torn out by a beast and the two others looked like their heads had been put under a hydraulic press. When they saw the green blood dripping from Amon's claws, they all nervously gulped. They knew he was still the same Amon, but his Demonic appearance caused something like a primal fear to spread through their bodies.
Amon looked at his claws. They were black, like his bones so he guessed they were an extension of them. They also had the red runes on them. Weirdly, the runes seemed to be absorbing the blood on them, sending some kind of energy to the rest of the runes in his body. He concentrated on the claws and retracted them without much effort, returning his hands to their more normal form.
"Sorry about the mess, Mom. I'll clean it up in a bit." Amon's voice sounded apologetic as he wryly smiled at his mom. His mom was shocked out of her stupor and she ran up to Amon to check if he was alright.
Despite his appearance, she still knew he was her son. A mother's love was boundless.
Jax and Molly both realized this as well when they saw the wry smile on Amon's face; his appearance may have changed and he may have some unsavory personality traits now, but he was still their childhood friend.
No one noticed Lilith's lust filled eyes as she looked at Amon, a furious blush upon her face and her breathing heavy like she'd just been running. A smile spread on her face as she formulated a plan of sorts. A plan to finally confess something to Amon.
2 weeks later~
Amon sat on the sofa of his living room, talking to Lilith about her changes from the awakening. "So, you awakened a dual bloodline like me as well? What's in it?" Amon was curious about this because he'd felt an affinity to Lilith ever since the awakening had happened.
Lilith seemed quite shy as she averted her gaze because of Amon's steady gaze. "It's...it's a bit complicated, Amon." her voice was incredibly bashful as she spoke. Amon looked at her with a confused look, wasn't it only her race? What was there to hide about it?

After a while of him staring and her squirming, Lilith spilled the beans. "My bloodline is a Demon/Slime Hybrid..." Her body seemed to droop a little when she said that confusing Amon before he finally realized.
Unlike him who pretty much only got vastly boosted physically and made into some kind of super killer, Lilith had been coping with a whole change to the way her body works, like a whole new puberty. "Oh. Well, you know, it's a pretty strong combo. You and I can be powerful demons together, right?" Amon smiled at Lilith and it seemed to cheer Lilith up quite a lot.
He didn't miss the absolute bliss in her eyes either, but he shrugged it off, for now, it could be something brought on by the changes. He knew that he was experiencing things he'd never experienced before. Such as intense feelings of superiority, arrogance, and bloodthirstiness, leading Amon to have to control his emotions with a much more iron grip than previously.
In other news, the world was doing surprisingly well. A world-wide company had come in and helped sort most things out. Amon recalled that the Company's name was Genesis or something.
They came in and killed the big monsters threatening to destroy cities. Helped people get used to the new changes in their body's and also get ready for the abilities from their classes.
Jax, Molly, and his Mother had all been taken onto a special course called the "Hero Course". Seemed that they were part of a 5-man team that represented Earth's strongest.
When the Genesis Agent came to Amon's house the day after he killed the Orcs to collect his friends and mother, Amon didn't miss the intense disdain and disgust the man had shown Lilith and him, like they were nothing but dirty animals to him.
Amon could instinctively feel that the man was weaker than him, so he nearly flew into a wild rage at the disdain showed to him from someone weaker than him but soon reeled himself in when he thought about the implications it would have on his friends and Mother going to the Hero course.
Today was the day when an Agent was set to come to pick up Amon and Lilith.
According to Genesis, everyone with battle-ready classes or physiologies had to undergo intense training, like some kind of military, so they could prepare for what was to come. Whatever was meant to come wasn't spoken about by Genesis, they said it was too soon to speak about what was coming so they could only be vague about it.
*Knock knock!*
Amon got up to answer the door and left the timid Lilith of the sofa. Answering the door, Amon saw a beautiful woman, who would look quite normal if it weren't for her height of 6"6 and two white horns on her head. "Woah, you are a big guy! It's not every day that this big sister gets to see someone taller than her." her voice seemed quite rough, but Amon was unsure if that was because of her dialect or her natural voice.
Amon made way for her despite how it annoyed his new instincts to move out of the way for others. The woman walked into the house with a self-confidence that just grated on Amon.
As they made their way into the living room, Amon saw Lilith cutely glaring at the beautiful woman who walked in with him, causing him to grin.
"Okay, let's get right into business." The woman motioned for Amon to sit down and then continued talking "You two have been selected for Genesis' best military training camp! Your magical auras are incredibly strong, pure and dense and we need talents like you two to help with what's to come."
"What is to come then? What's gonna happen?" Amon spoke with an annoyed look on his face, even before he changed he hated when people dance around a point instead of just saying it. The change only made him show it.
"Ohoh! Calm down there, tiger. I'm sure you could guess what's to come when I mentioned we'd be sending you to military camps, right?" her confidence was spurred up again when she saw Amon getting angry.
Lilith finally spoke up. But what surprised Amon was that there was no sign of the timid and shy Lilith of the past, she spoke with resolve and confidence now. "So the thing coming is a war?"
The woman nodded "Yeah, a war like you wouldn't believe. A planetary war, or a war between planets. Well, that's all I can really say to you. Sorry." She seemed sincerely apologetic which eased Amon's annoyance with her.
After this brief, but slightly annoying conversation, Amon went to pack some extra stuff, while Lilith had already done her packing. Soon after this, they set off with the lady, who they found out was called Sasha, for the Military training camp.
Amon felt an odd excitement as they set off there. He hoped there would be plenty of people to fight.

I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know.

P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D
