《Last Grace: The Apex of Another World》Chapter 5 - Ode to Family
Advertisement
Lucifer began to sweat. The atmosphere that was previously happy go lucky now annoyed him to no end.
He could guess that one ability was from his father, the other was from… his mother? If that was true, Lucifer had always wondered who his mother was. The moment he unlocked the ability, he could find out her name, Father was always so secretive, he will finally find out something important and be better than the old him who would follow him despite his arrogant extremes that he often displayed. Too secretive to tell his son who his Mother was, that fucker!
Lucifer felt that his body was sucked dry of all positive emotions. How dare he do that! He will find out the identity of His mother and get him to shut the fuck up for once about his almighty power. He may have created this universe, but that gives him no right to treat his son like the scum of the Heavens. The answers would be his!
Ready to get his mind off things Lucifer enhanced his stamina by distributing all of his points into it.
“He keeps so much hidden, it's his worst talent.” Lucifer groaned. His body felt better than before even as many things were brought up in his mind. Except his wellness needed to be perfect. He was perfect, his wellness however was not in the best condition.
Taking his mind of the recent developments he took the survival aspect of his new life in stride.
He needed material to build a shelter for himself, so he grabbed branches, the forest was full of sticks. After that he rubbed a pair of the sticks together. Abruptly a spark was fostered atop the end of them and that's when he could begin surviving for real. The fire spread and he lobbed the sticks onto the pile of branches that made the fire even larger.

Content with the fire Lucifer grabbed the dead rabbit corpse and threw it over the fire. He was already not well so he could not get sick.
This time he noticed the new notification that had taken residence in his line of vision.
You have acquired the passive skill [Survival] for surviving. This passive ability makes it easier for users to survive with meager and or insufficient knowledge in foreign terrain.
Once the rabbit had been cooked enough he grabbed it. It stung, but made little of the pain and quickly began to eat the cooked rabbit as he required the energy if he was going to heal any time soon.
Lucifer had a lot of time left to do whatever he wanted so he went ahead and explored. He was feeling less and less pain as time passed.
This was his only source of relief. Now he needed to hunt.
This new world gave him so many chances, and for once he will take up on its offer at the chance of becoming what he used to be, and more.
If anyone crossed his path now he would crush them and turn them into stat points. A wild grin now planted on his face. He would discover the identity of his mother and turn the world here into his playground.
And only his.

8 123Immortal Shards
In the boundless multiverse, all possibilities, no matter how remote, exist somewhere. Universes are born, or are created, and die, or do not. In the vast Myriad Heavens Cosmos, a reality far away from our own, a mysterious energy called Mana provides the basis for both physical techniques and magical techniques, and interweaves and is part of all matter, all spirits, and all energy. Mana is the lifeblood of the world, and those who channel and cultivate its power are called cultivators, for they strive to grow along the myriad paths of power and enlightenment. There are many such paths, known as Dao, but they all feature Shards! When a being, man, beast, or otherwise, gains a large enough Mana sea in their body, a crystal core, known as a shard,containing the essence of their power, the ideals and emotions that motivate them, and the essence of their soul will form. A beast which cultivates to the level of forming a shard is called a Magical Beast. A human or other being that does is known as a Mystic. A shard may be a Mage Shard, allowing one to use mana to attack with the elements and produce fantastical, reality bending spells. A shard may also be a Warrior shard, channeling elemental and mana power into one’s physical form, shaped into projectiles, or various other uses; or it can be a Immortal Shard, with the abilities of a Warrior and Mage shard both, and others besides. Anyone who forms an Immortal Shard has the potential to shock the vast planes of reality! In the eternal struggle between the living, who will gain advantage, and for how long? Who will live and who will die? Who will protect and guide the commoners, and fight rogue Mystics and Beasts? Into this world, a child with a potential beyond his wildest imaginations is born. But on the journey of cultivation, there are no guarantees! Will he reach his fated glory, or will he die an ignoble death? This is the story of Alexander Grandstar, and even the gods may not know where it goes! Current release schedule is 1 chapter a week, on whatever day I decide to place it (usually Saturday or Sunday)
