《Modern Deity》Chapter 7: Horror and Murder
Advertisement
After arriving home, Kyte plopped on top of his bed and sighed.
"Hey, lazy ass. Aren't you gonna check and see your improvements?"
"At least let me take a five minute rest gosh damn it."
"No! You need to do your breathing technique and circulate all the energy that is currently surging around in your body."
"Ugh..."
Getting into the breathing position, Kyte found that there was massive amounts of life force and Spirit energy inside of his body.
Oh my goodness I didn't expect so much to be here.
The life force in his body was like a huge lake, waiting to be soaked up. Likewise, the Spirit energy Kyte absorbed was like an ocean compared to the life force. First, Kyte decided to control the raging Spirit energy inside his soul.
After about a hour of continuous absorbing and controlling, the surging Spirit energy calmed down inside of his soul. What Kyte found at the center of his soul was a small golden ball, about the size of a marble. It was the manifestation of his Spirit energy inside of his soul, signifying the success of achieving at least high Champion stage Spirit energy.
Next, Kyte started to control the life force in his body. He had absorbed the blood of about a hundred large animals, so there was a lot of life force energy circulating around in his body.
Once he finished controlling of the surging energy, suddenly he felt a burst of stronger energy emerge from his body.
He had broken through into the late Earth stage!
"Wow, I didn't expect myself to break through like that."
"What do you expect? That's supposed to happen the first time you gain a large amount of life force. Especially if you go from a few small birds to a hundred large animals. Honestly, I didn't know you could be so hungry."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"What? Nothing, I'm just saying."
"Uh huh, whatever. Well time to do the actual breathing technique. Shut up for a bit, will ya?"
"Yes, yes Your Majesty, a~nything for you~!"
"What the fucking fuck was that supposed to be."
"If you didn't notice, I was trying to pay respects to All Mighty Master."
"I wish I was able to slap you right now."
"Too bad....aren't you going to do the breathing technique?"
Kyte refused to continue the conversation any further as he started the breathing technique. After he started, he could feel the difference between how much energy he was absorbing compared to yesterday. Much more energy was appearing, and the wind vortex visibly grew in size as well.
I'm gonna have to move from my room to outside if this thing gets any bigger.
---Two Days Later---
During these two days, Kyte improved in the soul so much that it was mind-boggling. For Sol'keer anyway. Kyte was able to multi-task like it was child's play, and he was able to visibly see his own Spirit energy when he manipulated it outside of his body.
Also, Kyte had asked Sol'keer about how he will be able to save him from disappearing. Apparently, the hardest method would be to create a body that would act as Sol'keer's new body. Of course, considering that making a new body would require monumental amounts of resources and time, that was out of the question.
The easiest method would be to create a contract between Sol'keer and Kyte. However, considering Sol'keer's current state, Kyte would need to give him Spirit energy so Sol'keer wouldn't disappear. The amount of Spirit energy needed was at most three times the amount that Kyte has currently, but thankfully, the storage necklace has many treasures inside of it.

The variant of the easiest method would be to seal Sol'keer's soul inside a treasure. That would require large amounts of Spirit energy, however, Soul Seals are not the most difficult things to create. At the rate that Kyte is growing, it would only take about a week for him to have enough Spirit energy to complete the process. However...
Sol'keer told Kyte that he only has enough power to last another four days at the most. It's not that Sol'keer's overall power is getting weaker, it's that the world is sucking away his power every second, slowly depleting him of all of his power.
Although his soul is connected to the Inheritance, which is Kyte's new skeleton, the skeleton only applies to Kyte. That is because Sol'keer made the skeleton FOR Kyte, and the Inheritance itself chose Kyte as its new host. Sol'keer is only attached to the Inheritance, not sealed to it.
The good thing about Soul Sealing Sol'keer inside a treasure from the storage necklace is that his power won't be sucked out by the world. The treasure acts as a form of barrier that literally seals Sol'keer inside of it.
Kyte asked Sol'keer if he was able to just swallow several pills during the procedure, however, Sol'keer said that the pill's only help recover Internal energy, not Spirit energy.
So, Kyte decided to go out and search for another farm. He eventually did find one, however, the one he found did not have that many animals on it. It also had very frequent human activity, and Kyte wasn't comfortable killing random people.
So, he did the only thing he could really do. And that is to try to find Asshole. Even Sol'keer said it himself. Human's had massive amounts of energy, much more than regular animals. Why is it that way, Sol'keer doesn't even know.
Kyte planned to kill Asshole and absorb all of his energy. If his friends were with him, he would kill all of them and absorb all of their energy as well. Kyte has no remorse for him nor anyone 'close' to him. Kyte probably wouldn't even feel anything if he murdered Asshole's family.
Along with Sarah, whom Kyte also wants to kill. If Kyte sees her, he will follow her and kill her to absorb her energy.
Although killing them sounds a bit awful, especially Sarah, Kyte feels no remorse for those that want to hurt him or has betrayed him. Since the world hasn't punished them, Kyte might as well do it.
Walking along the roads after using a Concealing Mask, Kyte set off to find Asshole or Sarah.
Also, before he left, Kyte hacked into the school's information center and found Asshole's address and Sarah's as well. To a guy like Kyte that studied almost endlessly, along with having a computer that he absolutely loves, a school firewall is almost child's play.
Now...where do douchebags usually hang out once school is over?
Kyte swiftly disappeared like the wind as he hid inside a tree near Asshole's house.
After two hours of just sitting there, Kyte felt very disappointed. However, just as he was about to leave...
A car drove into the driveway of Asshole's house. Kyte focused on the car and saw three people get out. The first two looked like Asshole's parents, and the third looked like his younger brother.
Oh my, it's not their lucky day.
Suddenly appearing next to the car, Kyte spread out his Spirit energy as he instantaneously used Raging Palms to utterly destroy Asshole's parents and his little brother. Quickly condensing his Spirit energy around their souls, for the first time he killed another human. Watching their souls emerge from their bodies, Kyte saw a terrible sight...

Their souls looked like they were in writhing in horrifying pain, and what looked like to be a face could be seen in the mass of Spirit energy. The face looked twisted in horror and pain, as if it was shouting and screaming for everything to stop.
Kyte quickly absorbed their Spirit energy and disappeared before reappearing far away. He used another Concealing Mask to change his appearance once again.
Kyte was in utter horror after replaying that terrible sight. He wanted to throw up but he kept everything down through sheer will power.
"Sol'keer, what the fuck was that..."
"I...I don't even know...it was never like that in my own world. That was the first time I saw something like that."
Kyte could sense the confusion in Sol'keer's voice as he spoke, so Kyte believed what he had said.
"Kyte, listen. This IS a different world, so the souls could be vastly different than the ones from mine. What we just witnessed is definite proof of that. Also, weren't you a bit cruel to just kill those three?"
"I think my emotions are getting to me...also, you said there's no higher power right? Then what the fuck was that? Why the Hell did it look like their souls were still conscious?! I could see their pain and horror and it was so strong that I could almost feel it."
"Don't ask me that, idiot! How could I know? For all we know there could be a God in this world so unfathomably powerful that not even someone as powerful as me is able to sense even a tiny bit of his power. Of course, there's also the possibility that there is no God like that in this world, but the energy of belief and prayer from billions of people have somehow distorted reality into creating an actual Heaven and Hell."
"Yo, that sounds like bullshit to me."
"Yea I know, it was just a random theory. I highly doubt something like that actually happened. Anyway, since you're going to kill even more people in the future, it's best if you get used to seeing that. Also, how much Spirit energy did you get from them?"
Kyte disappeared into a dense pocket of trees before searching in his soul for the Spirit energy.
"Woah, the amount of Spirit energy from them is almost double the amount I got from all of those animals combined."
"What?! That much? The souls here are definitely different..."
After controlling the surging Spirit energy, the golden ball in Kyte's soul visibly increased in size. He could feel the overpowering energy flowing through his soul and mind. Opening his eyes, it seemed like everything around his became even clearer. When he focused on certain objects he would be able to clearly see the smallest details, even from more than ten meters away.
Kyte appeared on the opposite side of the street, and just by looking around he could feel the large change that had happened. The random people walking on the sidewalk had small auras covering their bodies, some weaker and some stronger than others.
"Ah, you finally see it, huh? Don't worry, once you get used to your Spirit energy being so strong you'll be able to control how much you see. With your level of Spirit energy, I would guess your soul should be...in the low seventh stage."
"Hahaha, I see, I see. Well since I've achieved that, shouldn't you let me know what the later stages are?"
"That's not needed until your Internal energy breaks through into the seventh stage. Even if your soul is as powerful as a seventh stage expert, you won't be able to be as powerful as them because your Internal energy is too weak."
"...Well, that makes sense. Heh, so this is one of the things that happen when breaking through to the seventh stage...awesome."
Kyte felt like he could sense the smallest of details in everything around him. And suddenly...
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!"
He heard the deathly screams of people from the direction of Asshole's house.
It's about time.
Kyte was about to turn away until he noticed, not too far away from him, was Asshole and two other people that were with him. Asshole was running toward his house, and the two people followed closely behind.
A wicked smile appeared on Kyte's face as he disappeared into thin air. Reappearing in the crowd around the driveway to Asshole's house unnoticed, Kyte changed his appearance to that of a black hoodie which cast a shadow over half of his face. He wore black pants and black shoes, and black gloves covered his hands.
On the driveway ground were the gruesome remains of the three bodies that belonged to Asshole's family. It was so bad that they were unrecognizable.
Asshole and his two friends ran up to the driveway. The two friends couldn't help but look away and throw up while Asshole just stood there covering his mouth with his sleeve.
Kyte slowly walked out from the crowd, seemingly going unnoticed.
As if he had sensed something, Asshole turned around and stared at Kyte.
"Was it you?...DID YOU DO THIS?!"
As if the crowd was snapped out of their daze, they all started at Kyte.
He slowly spread his Spirit energy out to cover the whole crowd, and then he filled it with his Internal energy. Then, he put his full power into emitting a pressure to make everyone fall to their knees.
About fifteen people, along with Asshole and his two friends, slammed to the ground. Kyte slowly walked toward Asshole as he slowly got to his knees.
This guy really is strong. But, not strong enough.
Kyte got on one knee to look at Asshole straight in the eye. He purposefully uncovered his face and let Asshole get a good look at who he was.
"You...Bitch? What the fuck?!! I'll fucking kill you!!"
Kyte only softly laughed as he smiled. Then, using his Internal energy, he created sharp drills that began to pierce into Asshole's flesh.
Starting from his shoulders, then to his arms, his back, his thighs, his feet...
Kyte made sure Asshole suffered before he killed him. He could feel rage gathering in his chest, and he flipped Asshole over onto his back.
"You beat me up, spit on me, called me names, humiliated me. For what reason? What did I ever do to you?"
Kyte spoke with a deep tone, recovering half of his face as he looked down at Asshole.
"...You......"
"Hahahaha, what? What did you say? I couldn't hear you!"
Kyte began to spin all the drills that were inside Asshole's body as he moved them deeper into his flesh. A pool of blood was already underneath his body, but Kyte didn't stop.
"Oh, I have a great idea. I'll take away your vision so you'll only see a black void before you die from all the pain. Hahaha! That sounds great!"
Kyte guided two more streams of Internal energy above Asshole's eyes.
"Noooo! NOOOO!!!!"
Ignoring his screaming, Kyte drilled into Asshole's eyes as blood and white flesh spurted out from his eye sockets. Ripping the shredded eyes out, Kyte stomped on them before finally beginning to want to kill Asshole for real.
"Just a bit more...hahaha..."
However, suddenly, Kyte felt a presence coming closer to his location at a very fast pace. Turning around, Kyte saw a metallic figure jumping from house to house to his location.
"Ah! Here to enjoy the show huh?! You came just in time you piece of shit...gosh damn it I was just about to kill this douchebag but you decided to show up."
Three blades flew toward Kyte, but he only stood there and used Internal energy to block the blades. When his Internal energy, which had Spirit energy woven with it, touched the blades, he grabbed them and crushed them into balls before making them fall to the floor.
The robot dove down toward Kyte, but he didn't move. Reaching his hand out, Internal energy and Spirit energy surged out and covered the robot before manifesting into sharp knives that began to slash into the robot's body.
Before it could even try to attack Kyte with its blades, it fell to the ground in several pieces with green liquid spraying everywhere.
"Tch, I'm not in the mood anymore. Better to finish this up quickly."
Turning around, Kyte finished Asshole off before decapitating his two friends. Trapping and absorbing their souls and their blood, Kyte quickly disappeared while changing his appearance.
The crowd of people that were present only looked on in horror and confusion at what had just happened. Seeing something that looked like it came from a movie happen right before their eyes made some of them unable to accept what they had just seen.
Sol'keer felt a little guilty toward all of this. He didn't tell Kyte because he never thought that he would do something to this extent, but the Bloodrage Technique influences the emotions of whoever uses it. The more blood a person absorbs, the more influenced they may be. It all depends on the person themselves whether or not they are consumed by their emotions.
Although he wasn't able to torture Asshole any longer, he still got his revenge. While Kyte was using Windwalker to his up-most abilities, a sad smile appeared on his face. It wasn't a sadness that he felt for others, rather it was a sadness that he felt for himself. Letting himself torture and kill his bully, while murdering his two friends took a larger toll on Kyte' sanity than he would expect.

I should have been the Hero instead
William Valenston had a happy life untill a new demonlord appeared.With the constant threat of the vile creatures he must quickly become a man and defend his Race from the approaching disaster. the synopsis and title will probably change later on And I think it gets better after arc 1 ch 3 The real story won't begin untill the heroes are summoned so you may feel a little bored while Im building the world and te mc' s personality. I wanted to state that this novel will start with a lighter tune but then get dark real fast. For the sexual content: it wont happen untill much longer. And when it happens it wont be overly explicit. Gore and traumatising content: It wont be at the level of nauseous but it may be too so just to be safe. This is my first try on writing novels so I welcome all of your criticism either good or bad. And lastly english isn't my native tounge so expect some grammer mistakes.But I will work on that part I promise.

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
