《Forging his own destiny》chapter 031

PLEASE READ THE NOTE BEFORE CHAPTER:
I have no idea if the question asked by me in comment section under last chapter was ignored because you simply don’t read a comment section, or cuz it was “posted” some time after it was released so I will ask it now:
Do you want the story to follow more into the romance (it will not be the main theme of the story, but it will be an important part of it) If yes do you want it to follow a bit into Harem genre (I am not a big fan of Harem genre, but it is only because most of such show woman mostly as hollow vessel that only drool while looking at MC. I wish for every protagonist in the story to have its own history, affairs, connections – to not be putted only to “fill” a gap. There is a great art made by Dragomir – “100 luck and dragon tamer skill” it is one of the Harem stories that I actually treasure. Aww, I am getting distracted. In the end ya want harem story with a bit more “intelligent” woman protagonists? That would have actually a reason to follow MC, not only cuz he is cute? Question asked by “Night”. Lemme quote it: “Loli Aira first waifu?”. Originally I didn’t want to make her into “Waifu” type at all… but fck this. she is adorable and I may “boost” her charm and story a bit. Question may be considered while answering “No” in 2nd
Hmm, I feel like I had to ask something more… but lost it on the way, so I may still ask some questions at the beginnings of future chapters
To thy story! ( I wanted to make it a bit humoristic. Tell me if it was good)
Edited by: KenChi死
Aira was now in the “chamber” of gods. She was supposed to report progress of the individual named “Zariel” till now. In the end she was elected for his guide and protector in this world.
She was a bit nervous. She used to stay in the shadows, for she is not a talkative person. She had some confidence if she was in really small group of friendly people. Or animals. Or plants. Yes plants are great… not judging you even if you are clumsy… You can tell them lots of stories! They are great listeners too! And they have really constructive feedback! Hu? Ya didn’t know flowers can talk? They do!
Gwuh! She lost herself in thoughts! And all deities and gods are waiting! What a foolish act of her to lose focus in such important moment!!!
She loaded a memory into projector to make something that on Earth would be called a movie, as background of her presentation and she start her speech.
“A…ano… so, the individual named Zairel which is a first case of soul that show the signs of awakening is showing a very rapid speed of grow. In the past 3 months he was able to surpass 15 levels on knowledge reaching….” Something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong. Many gods were simply speechless and behaving like they have no idea how to act. Emera was completely pale, her sister Luxia the Owner of Order was red, Heira supported her chin with the “bridge” made of her connected hands while saying “oya, oya” and The ol’ good Onyx was whispering something like: “youngsters… it is good to be young huh?”.
Without knowing the reason of such actions she turned her gaze onto projection she was playing.
And from the bottom of her neck she started getting red. As her “redness” reached tip of her pointy ears the color only start getting deeper. Reason? She played the wrong video. Actually this one was supposed to be in her “private collection”.

The displayed movie was showing Zari. Taking a bath. In a lake. Completely naked. Even more, as the shot was taken from behind a bush. That was a veeery good spot, for she was completely invisible for everyone outside, yet she got a very … let’s call it “steady” view into… umm… “plot”.
“E…excuse me”… she turned video off and loaded next … “ as I was saying… He reached 3rd rank up of his class and became a Hierophant type magicians focused on…”
Heira was pointing again on the projector with soft smile while licking his lips.
The memoryscreen was divided into multiple separated films. On one there was a Zari changing his cloths, Zari eating, Zari sleeping. An loooots of Zari in all kind of topless stretching positions. The gods and deities “sitting” closest to Aira could seen a steam like clouds leaving Aira ears. The completely new level of embarrassment.
“Aira, we get it. You were… overseeing him with … passion. Now, we would rather focus on his battle capabilities… so if you could…”
Aira only nodded. Her throat was too dry to even say a word. So she just played the movie… this time she make sure that she would play the correct one.
“Humans? He fought with the humans in the Forest? How did they get there?”
Aira looked on Luxia and with painful heart she said what she considered to be true.
“I-it would be but a speculation, but I think someone give them an order to hunt Zari down… He made contact with humans not so long ago, but considering the fact that they were sent by a church from far away… I think some other divine or celestial level is standing behind it… and because it is a church… it can be from the order faction…” “Are you accusing me sister?! “ The voice of Luxia was like thunder. “I-I-I doubt it… I just wanted to say that it should be someone connected with your domain… sorry sister, I know you would never do that! So please! Don’t shout at meee.”
Aira was almost crying. And the gods went wild. Individual named Zariel was too precious to be lost. Especially now, as his extraordinary growth was confirmed.
“Tsh, so he picked the path of a dark druid… If he would pick a demonology… I could have him all by myself. I have no idea how you convinced him sister, but you win this round” “Stop treating Zari like that! He is not a toy!!!” Aira once again turned red, this time because of anger. “Ahh! Aira!” Heira embraced her older sister and start rubbing her check into her “just stop being so adorable or instead of boy I will start targeting you!” “Your Honors! I have but a selfish request!” Luxia stated her mind. “I wish for permission to speak with Zariel in order to clear this misunderstanding!” “Luxia… did you know that you had no restriction in meeting him from the very beginning? You were only forbidden to stop his growth nor manipulate him in order to pick your attribute…”
And now Luxia was left with her mouth hanging wide open. All those restriction… all those austerities… For nothing?
“ Finishing our meeting… Aira, can you please tell us what he is doing right now?” “W..well, he should be fighting with Black Tusk champion…” “… One last request, can you go there and… “spectate” in our name this fight? It will give us lots of information in our researches about awakening… Luxia, if you could wait with your meeting till the fight is over…”

Just few more words were spoken on this meeting of gods.
Pov change
The show must go on! I said in high spirits, took a step forward… and then a few back and hid behind a tree.
Nope. Ain’t goin’ to happen. Look at that shit. It can dumb at has problems with coordination. But one mistake of mine and I am dead… on the other hand… I would eat him for a week… with such food supplies I could sit on my ass, train skills, from time to time go out to hunt some hunters…
NOPE. Bow and daggers are out of question… this fat would be burning pretty nice if I would melt its skin… but I have almost no confidence in my magic… killing bunny? Yes! Wolf? Too! Human? No problem… but such a big no-no is pretty scary… should I ru… I mean perform strategic retreat in order to regroup?
~Why won’t you use me?
Book-chan? Um… please state your mind. Your feminine voice saying “use me” can be misunderstood, ya know?
~Silly, getting nervous again? You are always becoming a bit over arrogant and your jokes go weak when you are nervous… I’ve told you that as you reach certain level you would gain access to codex? Here it is. Summon me.
Whaa? Anyway, book has knowledge and knowledge is power… but I doubt that with this over one tone sack of muscles in vicinity I’ll be able to focus on study…
~Idiot! Grimmoires contain spells ready to use! They are like collection of multiple usage scrolls! Just fill the runes on page with mana and you will be able to perform a spell! Well, weakened form, but it is something?
I drew hands in front of me, focused on book and soon a Grimmoire covered in black leather appeared in my hands.
~I will help you here… hmm, [Equilibrium] will do… it a very useful spell out of Blood Magic category invented byte Great Dark Mage…
Usage please… history lesson my wait…
~HMPH! Very well! In short, you sacrifice your blood, and you would gain boost to your pure magic power. Well, you could use the blood of the other as well. The blood quality is important too. The most powerful is self-sacrifice, then blood of magical beings, humanoid… virgins are good too. But as we have no time to look for magical humanoid virgin… nor to even hunt a bunny, self sacrifice would be best… wait… actually… you are a magical humanoid virgin who is going to perform a self sacrifice… pft…
Ha-ha. So funny. How do I use it?
The book opened itself on certain page covered in runic symbols and sketch of a human with veins and arteries marked.. “places of blood extractions”… nice naming of murdering someone in order to get your hands on their blood. A nice thing is that I don’t have to literally cut myself. It will be bit of pain and lost of numerical value of hp…
Here we go… OUCH! That was not a bit of pain!!! The hand that was touching the runes on the book was covered with black veins that has been drawn into book. The book is a catalyst? Changing blood into mana, then mana was forming a spell boost blessing inside of it and then was transferred back to me… aw… that… feeling… even if it’s painful.. So this is what being powerful feels like?
~Don’t get addicted… power is poison nt weaker then the venom of a manticore…
Sure thing cupcake… it will be only for emergencies. How much hp should I use? Well, I will be dead if I would be hit just once… so the more is the better. Yet I still need to have some safety margin… half? Half sounds nice… Tsh… Gyah… what bliss… Ha? What is it?
I was covered is some purple coat… and for gods… I felt gooood.
~You have about 10 minutes of boost. Kill him fast.
Okie-dokie sunshine… Hmm, I have never used this chaos magic in true combat. Let’s give it a try…
I stepped out of the bushes and faced the boar… or not… can you face someone with who has his back turned to you? Facing someone ass… sounds like the title of some bad porno-movie… Jokes aside.. focus, focus…
“ Darkness beneath me, Bind my prey,
Bring on the madness, Till the end of a day,
Grow on with Anger, and feed upon a fear…
In this moment a boar turned into my direction with irritated expression. Its eyes with bloodshot were pointed at me. It Dug the ground with it’s hooves, moved violently head on the sides and charged.
…and stuck into enemy like a deadliest spear…
Dark Binding”
The mass of darkness left my palm and followed into the direction of charging Boar. Few meters before it those masses landed on the ground making dark pond 3 meters long. As the Boar stepped on it black threads emerged from it restricting its movements while tying its legs and bodies. The darkness was constantly moving and pulsating.
The beast roared from anger. It was in pain from binding, by this pain was more like boosting its anger then dealing any real damage. Slowly the beast start rising from the ground as it tensed its muscles to fight the ties. It will not stop him for long. Even if the spell was empowered, it is still the most basic spell of chaos domain, which is level 1.
Walter, Kaito, Sebastian. Will you be so nice and will keep some company to our new friend? Just for some time so I can prepare another spell?
Ravens, as they use to, start trying to peck eyes out of the bore while Kaito jumped in the air and bit into its rear leg. He was now hanging off of it, holding himself just by teeth buried in flesh while moving violently on sides to tear lumps of meat.
… and leave nothing behind,
No blood, no bone, no ash.” (Couldn’t resist myself)
The explosive bolt went flying. As familiars saw it coming they left the beast and ran a safe distance away. A powerful explosion shocked the forest.
I was still in a semi-drunk state… and didn’t pay attention that the blue box saying that I have killed the target didn’t appeared. I was getting dizzy so I decided to turn around and to lean on the tree.
The agonizing roar could be heard behind me. I decided to jump aside out of instinct, and it was the only reason why I am still alive. The tree I was using as support was destroyed by some burned abomination. Carbonized skin on one side of its body and almost cooked on the other side were making a terrifying sight. The lumps of meat were hanging out of its body. There was even part of its skin covered in fat, that was covered in blisters… still moving because of heat. But the most frightening part of it was that this creature was still alive. Alive and ready to fight.
Why can’t it die?!
An explosion ripped part of the flesh out of its head exposing a part of it skull. And a monster core stuck in it.
Tsh. I am getting out of mana. Everything is getting blurry, and a giant motherfucking monster wants me dead. Ha, this life will not let me be bored… HAHAHA! Oh my good… I will probably never be bored near such a boar. If such a puny joke makes me laugh, it means I am in really bad condition…
I located myself on the other side of the clearing. Think… your enemy is dumb. Outsmart anyone you can’t beat and beat anyone you can’t outsmart.
Wandering Fire… [Wisp]s were summoned. 4 flames hanged in the middle of the air surrounding me. I will have one go. Soon I will be out of mana, out of buff, and somehow I think that the spell I used will have a backlash. The abomination charged once again.
I raised a fire wall a few meters in front of me, to disturb its vision, then I raised Wisps on its head level… somewhere, where eyes should be located.
The beast jumped through the fire, right into flying fire spirits that exploded upon contact, caysing its eyes to literally pop out. The colossal body fell on the ground to exhausted and in to great pain to even move.
Ha…ha… I won, bitch! Well, not yet, but…
I stepped to it, hold the monster core with both hands and activated mana shock wave with my hands as I was pulling core out of its head. There was a resistance. It was stuck in the skull, while it was also attached to its brain. Unfortunately for you, I am not going back without a core.
My hands were covered in blue light, and as I decided to use more and more power, it was slowly turning purple. The beast was whining in pain. Stop screaming that life is not fair! Big fish eat small fish, and a Divine Chimera eats everything!
Soon a cracking sound could be heard as I finally pulled the crystal out.

In order to cure this state effect fill the loss of iron in your blood plus receive [healing] state effect.
Forget what I have said a second ago. Craaaap. I really feel like some jelly-man.
I sat under the tree filling my lungs with air greedily. I looked upon a still bloody core in my hand, rubbed it with edge of my robe, and swallow it.
Walter sat on one of the branches. Hes now gray, eyes where looking with hunger an the corpse of the boar. His beak was thinner and longer than before. It was also curved. Not your average beauty that you keep to sing to you before a bedtime.
Kaito laid his head on my lap. Oh, my bloody… your not as cute as you used to be! Evolve back! Undo! Undo!!!
Before he was looking like some German Shepherd, now more like a bulldog. An ugly bulldog! No fur! Lots of muscles and drool instead! Furless dog is not a dog!!! Gimme furry Kaito back! Who will I hug to now?!
This. is. Worst. Day. Ever.
Don’t forget to answer questions… X_X

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead
The cycle is simple enough. A Dungeon Core is born from a wayward soul. It seeks power and agency, and works to accumulate wealth to fuel its power, in turn using this power to accumulate further wealth. Inevitably, the mind is lost as desperation and ambition drive it to commit darker and darker acts. Shortly thereafter, the adventurers arrive to quell the core. This is a tale that has repeated itself countless times throughout history: all cores desire power. And yet, this core seems to have it backwards. It doesn't want to rule the world. It has no desire to enslave or conquer. No, this core doesn't want to be a warlord, a villain, or a tyrant. It wants to start a core-poration. After all, when money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core that wastes an absurd amount of time and effort trying not to be evil on his journey to earn fat stacks against all odds. -This is a 'Dungeon Core' type fiction with LitRPG elements in it. The start may be fairly slow compared to the average. Expect roughly 2.5k per chapter. -I'm only a hobbyist writer. As such, there may be the occasional error and pacing may be poorly-handled. Constructive criticism is alway welcome. I'm just here to write stuff that makes my brain release the g o o d c h e m i c a l s. -I am trashy and I like monsterpeople so you can expect an awful lot of those as we get further in. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy.
