《Even the heavens will shudder》Chapter 3 : Demon God
Advertisement
Two days have passed after the collapse of Lucius and he has yet to wake up, a rather peculiar phenomenon happened, it seems that something tried to possess his body, that mysterious red ball of light that was hovering in the middle of the silent woods was the cause.
“This kid, after analyzing his body for two days I discovered that he have a rather rare constitution it is the reason that I failed huh “
The person that is talking is the thing that is inside the body of Lucius for the past two days it was constantly murmuring and talking.
“But why didn’t this brat wake up? … ahhhh!!! …I’m now imprisoned in a kid’s body …damn!!Why is my luck so shitty …?”
Lucius is currently dreaming, he is dreaming of his past and childhood memories.
“Hmm where I’m?”
Lucius appeared in a village in the middle of an alley, the alley in his eyes seemed to be too familiar suddenly a number of people came they were all children of eight or ten years of age but Lucius saw a child that shocked him, the child was not in the group of the other children but was pushed in the alley, the child shocked him because he was him from three years ago.
“Is that me? How can I see this? Am I dreaming?”
The other children had eggs and tomatoes in their hands, one of them began to smirk it was a short brown haired child with a pronounced nose it was what distinguished him the most, the name of this child Lucius knew it very well he was named ‘Henry’, he cannot forget him because Lucius suffered in his hands most of the times.
“Hahaha now trash!! do you know what we are going to do to you?”(Henry)
The Lucius of the present was cursing because he didn’t want to see the painful moments of his life, at that moment all the children began to laugh and threw all the eggs and tomatoes at the red Haired Lucius of three years ago, he was literally submerged.
“Why did I remember that time why!!?”
Suddenly the scenery changed now he appeared in a big hall, in the hall there was rows of children and there was also adults, the adults were on a platform, one of them was bald and Lucius recognized him, he was an instructor in the Odein clan when children reach the age of ten they have the obligation to have a test, the test was to appraise the talent in martial arts, a boy appeared on the platform, he was obviously Lucius.
“No not also this memory “
All the children in the hall began to chat.
“Isn’t that the trash? Why is he even taking this test? “
“Right why is he here? Every one of us can’t stand him “
The children murmured incessantly, Lucius approached the bald man, the bald man had a disdainful expression, and then he put his hand on the back of Lucius, after closing his eyes for a minute the bald man snorted
“Humph!! I can’t sense anything you have no talent “

The entirety of the hall began to laugh, that was the most painful of memories for Lucius, and he began to hold his head tightly like it as a headache.
“Why!!! Why did these things happen to me? Am I not a normal child “
Voices were heard in his head that constantly leaked the word “die”, just at the time when Lucius began to despair, the scenery changed, this time he appeared in a room, he saw himself sitting on a chair around a table and across him was sitting a middle aged man with long white hair
“Uncle?”
Yes it was his uncle and they were merrily eating food his uncle alderman spoke
“Lucius don’t mind others when they say those things, they don’t know that you are a good and nice boy, hahaha… and they probably are jealous of your handsomeness “
Lucius was the happiest when he was chatting with his uncle, he was the only one who cared for him and did not forsake him, and his uncle spoke anther time.
“Lucius I know that you are a brave and strong willed child so you need to live one day in happiness and experience many things your uncle sincerely wish for it, now you need to go …”
The space in the dream began to distort and suddenly he opened his eyes, he was confused the dream appeared to be so real to him, when he calmed himself he looked around him, he discovered that he was lying on the grass inside a forst
“Right I remember what was that red ball, it suddenly hit my body and I blanked out “
He then looked at his body but he was stupefied his right shoulder injury disappeared and in its place was only a hole in his clothes
“what how can it heal by itself , am I still dreaming ?”
“You’re not dreaming kid “
Lucius was startled when he heard a voice, he stood up and hid behind a tree as fast as he can
“Boy …it’s no use I can still see you “
Lucius was now scared what was happening, he looked in every direction and there was no one,
“What is this? Where do t…this voice come from is it a ghost “
“Hey don’t lump me with these small fries “
“Who are you? What do you want with me?”
“hahaha who I’m ? Kid I’m the mighty Leyak “
“Leyak? Never heard of this name “
“What!!!!! How come you don’t know who I’m an existence like me is heard of in the countless galaxies “
Lucius was bewildered, he didn’t understand what this person was talking about
“What is a galaxies, never heard this word “
“Oh right this is the mortal realm, kid it’s okay I will explain “
“Your name is strange “
“Kid did you seriously treat my name as being weird “
Lucius was instantly scared the voice became sharp and serious all of sudden
“Brat don’t insult my name in the future, the last person who did that was incinerated “
Lucius face became pale, incinerated what sort of death is this? He thought

“Kid you released me from my prison that is why I’m grateful“
“Released you how? I don’t remember releasing anything “
“Do you remember that stone with the patterns “
Lucius thought for a second then he remembered the stone that he stumbled on .
“Yeah that strange stone what was that “
“Hmm that was a spiritual prison and it was where I was sealed, technically it was only my soul my body is long gone “
“A spiritual prison?”
“Right, it’s a prison created by god level individuals “
“Gods? What, what are you saying its impossible “
Lucius at the mere state of the word god was shocked Gods are legendary and worshipped entities.
“What do you know you are just a mere mortal and a brat at that “
“I’m not a kid I’m twelve years old “
“Yeah yeah that’s good, now I will explain kid I tried to possess your body but I failed, fuck when I remember I become so angry “
Lucius was puzzled he didn’t understand.
“Hey judjing from your expression you are confused, I tried to take control of your body that’s what I meant”
“W..What!?”
Lucius face became even paler than before
“Hahahaha …don’t be scared, I said I failed and on top of that I can’t try anymore, “
“Really you don’t lie do you “
“Kid don’t underestimate me I never lie well a little “
“I knew it!!”
“No no no… I didn’t lie this time”
“How can I believe you “
“Well you don’t have a choice do you, and I was that red ball of light that was my soul form “
“so that was really that red ball “
Lucius now had a clear understanding of what happened.
“Kid now I will speak seriously, my soul failed to control your body and instead was sealed in your mind, that is why you can’t see me because I became a part of your mind “
“My mind?”
“Yes I can communicate with you through your mind “
Lucius was now a little relieved but he didn’t relax
“Then are you going to be in my mind forever?”
“Brat you think I’m happy to be sealed in your mind just when I broke free from a prison I got into another , but I must say that this place is not so bad , the other was dark and there was nothing to relieve my boredom but now I can chat and also see what is outside “
Lucius didn’t comprehend the personality of this Leyak, sometimes he jokes and sometimes he becomes scary.
“Kid we don’t have a choice we must live together from now on “
“There is no solution?”
“There is but you’re current state don’t allow it you are too weak “
Lucius was ashamed, even a soul knows that he is weak.
“Hmm brat what are you thinking?”
“I can’t cultivate, from birth I was a cripple, from my uncle says my meridians are broken “
“Hmm? What nonsense are you spouting? Your meridians are not broken they are simply sealed, your body is special, and also your mind the reason I failed to possess you is because of your special consciousness, it is divided in several layers so I possessed a single layer and was sealed, do you know what it means to have a divided mind? You can focus on several things at the same time if you train you’re speed of improvement will be several more fast than a normal person “
“How can you know I tried to practice but in vain I can’t even absorb energy “
“hahaha… kid don’t sweat it your meridians I will open them “
“What???How can you?”
“I said to not underestimate me, I’m the Demon god leyak, how can a measly task like this be difficult, your meridians to open needs a strong stimulus that was why you didn’t have the ability to cultivate “
“A Demon God, you’re lying aren’t you?”
“Humph! I don’t need you to believe it “
Lucius was deeply shocked a god? Some scholars said that after becoming an immortal the next level is godhood!! But in the entirety of the mortal plane no one have seen a god nor have witnessed an immortal to rise as a god, and now Lucius is actually conversing with a Demon God
“I have the possibility to affect your body, like earlier I healed your injury, but kid nothing comes free you have to swear to accomplish a wish of mine and I will help you “
Lucious was seriously thinking, if he accept the proposition of this Demon then he will abandon the title of trash and become someone new and he will have the possibility to help his uncle and take revenge for his family.
“I accept and I swear to accomplish it “
“good , kid you have a strong mind and I sense deep in your heart that you have strong hatred and negative feelings so it’s actually good thing for your cultivation “
Lucius was overjoyed he now have the chance to cultivate and become strong.
“Alright now concentrate and close your eyes it will be slightly painful “
Lucius did what Leyak told him,
Sfx (swooch, swooch …)
Suddenly a strong wind was swirling around him, it was like a small tornado, and his long red hair was actually raised up in the air.
If someone saw this he will become astonished, all of sudden the face of Lucius became distorted, it was from pain, If meridians will be opened manually it will bring intense pain
“ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
Lucius was screaming everyone experiencing this sort of pain will have fainted
“Hmm good kid he has strong willpower “(Leyak)
The wind then disappeared like it was not existing in the first place and Lucius regained his usual calm face.
“Okay I opened all of your fifty five meridians “
A surge of green like light left Lucius body and instantly dissipating causing a small shockwave
“How do you feel?”(Leyak)
Lucius stood up made some movements, his skin brightened and his flaming red hair became shinier, he was already a handsome boy and now he became better looking
“I can’t believe it my body I can sense energy hahahahaha, it’s a miracle “(Lucius)
But patterns appeared on his body there was two straight lines that came down all the way from his shoulders.
“Don’t forget that you will grant my wish in the future “
“Of course I Lucius will never break this oath “
On the face of Lucius can be seen a big smile from right to left revealing his White teeth .
End of chapter 3.

Elania, Arachne in a different world
Does have GL subplot later on. Warning: Since some people do not seem to get the slice of life idea, this story is SLOW. There is action and I intend to write more of it but don't come here expecting it to be the focus 24/7. A young woman from Earth wakes up in a cave, disoriented, confused, amnesic and with her lower body replaced by that of a giant spider. She has no idea what she stumbled into and all the extra sensations were definitely not helping. "Did I get reincarnated into a fantasy world?" She's not quite sure. But, the goblin, the troll and (soon enough) the hot elf all suggest "yes." As much as it creeps her out, her new body is powerful and flexible in some very interesting 'spidery' ways as she slowly learns to live with it. Combined with what modern knowledge she can still remember, the newly christened Elania soon finds herself building a new life as an adventurer among the elves. Who knows what awaits her? Maybe, just maybe, she might even find happiness along the way. There will be a fair amount of errors in writing up until chapter 43 (where I got a proper proofreader/editor to help me out.) Chapters 1-20 or so will at some point receive partial rewriting because I don't quite like the flow and feel there are some parts that don't make as much sense as they should. Please don't suggest edits for chapters up until 43, anything after that, feel free to in case we missed anything. Find me on discord at : https://discord.gg/TqFjdv8uaE

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone. Changes in certain phrases and words between the two are edits made because of the rewrite plans I have for the old story. The story is available here, on RR, on Webnovel, and on Scribble Hub.The cover was taken from PublicDomainPictures.net and made by one Nona Lohr
