《Adventures of a young Zuma》Volume 4- CHAPTER 10

Zanesur: “My Lord, I am deeply grateful to you, for bringing my people back. I was right in placing my hopes on the former Blood King Hui’Mi and on you, the new Blood King Le’On.
Though I had to wait for a long, long time but finally, I have seen the day when my clan members have returned to me.”
Me: “I am very happy to know that I could keep the word of my predecessor given to you. Though, it was a test for me but the one who really saved your people or at least the last survivors was him. If he didn’t paralyze and freeze everything inside the cave, then believe me...they would have died...died long before even he could reach them. If he didn’t take that sort of action, you would have been the only one left of your kind.”
Zanesur: “My Lord, he was a Blood King as you are now and that makes me happy to share border with your dominion. I am indebted to you and your Clan as long as I live.”
Me: “Forgive me, but I have a reason why I came to meet you tonight. I have some proposals for you. May I present them?”
Zanesur: “My Lord, you do not have to be so formal...command me anything and it shall be done. I have already accepted you as my King, so you need not worry about the monsters of the swamp attacking your settlement in the future.”
Me: “Though that was not one of my proposals but it makes me happy to hear your pledge.”
Zanesur: “Then, what are your proposals My Lord?”
Me: “Firstly, I would like for you to come out of the shadows and would like to reinstate you as the real guardian of this swamp.
Secondly, I would like if you can spare one person from your Clan. I want that person to become the personal guardian of the cave.
After liberating your people and killing all of the monsters, the ownership of the cave went to me and I am planning to use the cave in service to my clan. To protect it from other monster as well as other Clans secret attacks, I would like to name one of your people, guardian of my cave.
What are your thoughts about my proposals, Zanesur?”
Zanesur: “I accept your proposals My Lord. And as for a guardian for your cave, I would like to nominate one of my kin left in this world, my little brother. He is one of the strongest in my clan and he is very able.”
After saying that, he turned backwards and shouted something in his native language or the alternative was that he just growled at something. Some moments after, a young one emerged within the darkness and came forward to us. He was in his beast transformation and bowed to Zanesur as well as me. Zanesur again turned towards me and said.
Zanesur: “My Lord, please meet my brother, Sadama...I recommend him to be the guardian of your cave.”

I look towards Sadama and asked him.
Me: “Would you like to be the guardian of the Blood Cave, Sadama?”
Sadama (still bowing): “I would be honoured, My Lord and I promise you, and you would not be disappointed in me...
When I came out of that dark room, I saw what you had done...and from there on, I started admiring you and now, getting a chance to serve you, I have no words to thank my brother for trusting me for this job.”
Me: “Good, now rise Sadama, I hear by appoint you to be the Guardian of the Blood Cave and also proclaim Zanesur to the Guardian of this swamp...may our alliance run strong for ages to come.”
I spent some more time with them before returning to the city.
Suddenly, a screen was shown.
KING’S CRYSTAL:-
NEW INFORMATION ADDED TO DATABASE.
1. ZANESUR IS NOW THE GUARDIAN OF THE SWAMP OF ZUMA.
2. SADAMA IS NOW THE GUARDIAN OF THE BLOOD CAVE.
Whoa!!! I forgot about this thing!!! Well, now I have some time...so let’s see, what does it do?
Me: “King’s Crystal.”
KING’S CRYSTAL:-
WELCOME, KING LE’ON.
YOUR ORDERS?
Me: “Show information about King’s Crystal.”
INFORMATION ABOUT KING’S CRYSTAL:-
This crystal has many operations. They are:-
1. STORES INFORMATION ABOUT ALLIANCES CREATED BETWEEN THE BLOOD KING AND OTHER PEOPLE AND OR CLANS (ANCIENT AND NEW).
2. SCANS THE BODY FOR SKILLS WHICH CAN BE USED TO CREATE OR UNLOCK NEW OE EXISTING SKILLS.
NEW SKILLS CREATED:- 1.
3. STORES INFORMATION ABOUT ALL FAMILY MEMBERS. (ABLE TO TRACK THEM UP TO 20 KMS)

6. STORES INFORMATION ABOUT THE KING’S OWNED PROPERTIES.
(IF A CONNECTION IS MADE BETWEEN THE KING’S CRYSTAL AND THE PROPERTIES, THE KING’S CRYSTAL CAN CONTROL THEM IN ABSENCE OR ON ORDER OF THE BLOOD KING.)
NUMBER OF PROPERTIES OWNED:- 4.
7. RECRYSTALLIZE AND STORE MESSAGES FOR THE NEXT BLOOD KING.
WOW!!! It has so many uses...Let’s check out the interesting ones.
Me: “Show New Skills Created.”
I wait for some moment but nothing happens...Why isn’t it working?? Did I give wrong command?
Let’s try again...
Me: “King’s Crystal...”
KING’S CRYSTAL:-
WELCOME, KING LE’ON.
YOUR ORDERS?
Me: “King's Crystal, Show New Skills Created.”
NEW CREATED SKILL(S):-
AFTER SCANNING YOUR BODY FOR SKILLS, THE KING'S CRYSTAL WAS SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING A NEW SKILL.
1. ENERGY STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION.
AFTER SCANNING YOUR BODY FOR SKILLS, THE KING'S CRYSTAL WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN UNLOCKING NEW SKILL.
Me: “King's Crystal, Show Energy Storage and Distribution.”
ENERGY STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION:-
Another new Variant Skill of the Main Skill:- LIFE FORCE DRAIN.
Advertisement
This skill helps in storing all the energy absorbed through the use of LIFE FORCE DRAIN Skill for certain period.
Within this period, you can use this stored energy and distribute it into other desired skill(s).
If the energy is not used in that certain period, The King's Crystal would dissipate the stored energy into the atmosphere.
Hmmm... This would come in handy...now on to the next one...what was it again?? Ahh...ahh... umm...Kings...umm...ohh yess...King’s Skill.
Me: “King's Crystal, Tell me about the King’s Skill.”
KING’S SKILL:-
A skill which is unique to only the present Blood King can be Selected and Stored inside the King’s Crystal.
It will become a part of the List of King’s Skill inside the crystal.
Selecting the Skill as the King’s Skill will remove all the restrictions placed upon it.
This Skill would be then counted out of the Normal Skill Limit and could used even if the Skill Storage Limit has been reached.
WARNING:- NOT EVERY SKILL COULD BE SELECTED AS THE KING’S SKILL.
ONLY NEW SKILLS WHICH HAD NOT BEEN STORED BEFORE IN THE KING’S CRYSTAL CAN BE SELECTED.
ONLY THAT SKILL WHICH HAS THE BIGGEST EFFECT RATE CAN BE SELECTED.
NOTICE:-
YOU HAVE NOT SELECTED A SKILL TO BE NAMED AS KING’S SKILL.
DO YOU WANT TO SELECT A SKILL?
Me: “Yes.”
KING’S SKILL:-
SELECTION PROCESS:-
DO YOU WANT THE CRYSTAL TO AUTO SEARCH FOR FAVOURABLE SKILLS?
Me: “Yes.”
SEARCHING...
PLEASE WAIT...
KING’S SKILL:-
LIST OF SKILLS VIABLE FOR SELECTING:-
1. BONE REGENERATION.
SELECT SKILL:- ?
Hmmm... Only one skill is eligible. I think I should wait. After acquiring more new skills, I will decide about it.
Me: “No."
Well, now I know something about this crystal...Its quiet helpful.
NOTICE:-
YOU HAVE RECEIVED A MESSAGE.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL MESSAGING CENTER TO VIEW YOUR MESSAGE.
A Message for me!
After receiving the notice, I went to the Council Hall.
I entered the Messaging Center of the Council Hall and saw the same boy sitting behind the counter.
I really hope he doesn’t freeze this time too...
Me: “Excuse me; I got a notification about a message I received. I would like to see my message.”
The young boy looked up towards me...and...Nothing. He isn’t moving...what?? Come on...
I lean towards him and ask him.
Me: “What is your name?”
He continues to look up to me but no sound came out of his mouth...Urggg...this is frustrating...
Me: “I would appreciate if you break out from your trance. I have a message to read so if you would kindly hurry up...”
At my great enjoyment, he nodded...finally... some form of movement.
He sluggishly picked up a white crystal and presented to me. I knew what had to be done so upon placing my right hand on it; it glowed for a moment then showed me two screens. One asking me my Adventurer’s Id and the other to input my Id number. I inputted my Id number and the screen disappeared leaving me with one screen. After that it said that my Id has been verified and my message would be shown shortly. I waited and the screen showed the message.
MESSAGE:-
Page 1
FROM:- DEITI, AVES CLAN.
Hey Le’On, remember me! Of course you remember...I mean who could forget me, RIGHT!
Anyway, I am currently doing a quest with a small team. Would you believe me, if I told you that the quest is of B Rank? Yes... after we parted, I did a couple of C Rankers and I got bumped up a Rank...YAY!
I am currently in the Yaron Forest near the Ustela Clan. The forest is bit of on the denser part.
As Ustela is near Zuma, I thought it would be fun if we went together on a quest again.
Page 2
To tell you the truth, though I am excited but my team members are bit of on the clumsier side so...would you consider doing a favour by joining the quest and coming here to help me?
If you are bust then its fine but I would really appreciate the help coming from you AND the help of an ELITE Council’s Adventurer...
Well, if you are interested (please...) then just accept the Quest notification that I have attached with this message. Hope to meet you in the Yaron Forest...Bye.
QUEST TO HUNT UMIE MONSTERS IN THE YARON FOREST:-
DO YOU ACCEPT? (YES – NO) {Click on either one of the options.}
I clicked on ‘Yes’. The screen changed and showed me the full Quest notification.
QUEST TO HUNT UMIE MONSTERS IN THE YARON FOREST:-
You have been added as a guest adventurer on this quest.
REWARD:- You will receive 1/4th of the total earning.
QUEST INFO:- Kill as many Umie monsters you can. Payment would be made upon the number of heads of the monsters delivered to the Ustela General Body Unit.
The location was near Zuma and she asked for my help...so it was an easy choice... I think I would set out in the morning as it would take couple of hours to reach the Ustela Clan.
I closed the screen and handed the crystal back to the boy manning the counter and while I was doing that, I got an idea.
I looked towards the boy with a smile and said.
Me: “Well, whatever your name is...it seems today is your lucky day. Tomorrow, get ready and meet me in front of the West Gate at 6 am sharp...dressed in full armour attire...we are going on an adventure...he he he he...”
I left the counter as the boy looked stunned and was looking towards me...This is a great opportunity for that boy to go out of this place, visit some new place, kill some monster while he was at it, garner some life experience.
I reached my house and upon entering, received some juicy sloppy kisses from my wives...he he he he...well it was time for...ROUND 2!!!...

Now, as he's about to have enough money to take them to safety, he receives an email from his old girlfriend ... which is remarkable, considering she's been presumed dead for years. Adam tries to think nothing of the email or the broken video file attached to it. He convinces himself that it has to be a computer virus of some kind until he discovers something terrifying: the video might link his sister to the worst night of his life, the night his girlfriend went missing, the night of "The Red Christmas". Then he realizes this could be a threat; his sister's life could be in danger. As he starts to investigate who sent the video, Adam begins to uncover dark truths about his neighbors and finds evidence that there might be a larger conspiracy at play. The problem is that he's starting to suffer from hellish hallucinations that make him question what is real. Soon, the only clear thing to him is that someone doesn't want him to dig up the past. Will Adam be able to stay sane long enough to find out what really happened the night of "The Red Christmas"? Will he succeed in helping his family escape the country?
