《Lost Genesis: Lied》Lie 10 – The Adam's Eyes II
Advertisement
Lied was remarkably confused. That person was, without a doubt, the red cloaked figure who fought Martyr. At the same time, he was also the boy he saw that night, as he watched the moon at his home before falling asleep.
“In the meantime, I want you to know that I am your ally” the red-haired young man smiled warmly at him.
“It’s too late. I don’t even have the energy to get up” Lied said.
“If you quit now, who’s going to beat Nachash?”
“What?”
“You heard what Zaccharias said.”
“Why me?”
The guy pointed his finger at the apple in the basket.
“And because you are…”
“I am…?”
“…Defeating Nachash also means ruining the Illuminatus’ plans. You kill two birds with one stone.”
“How are the two connected?”
“Remember the man you met, Lied” he crossed his arms.
After hearing those words, Lied was flooded with memories.
“HAHA, WE’RE JUST TAKING A BREAK… THE BATTLE ISN’T OVER. THE TRUE FIGHT… IS YET TO START!”
“I WILL DEFINITELY WIN! THE ADAM’S APPLE… WILL BE MINE!”
“Martyr. Then, is HE Nachash?” Lied asked.
“I cannot tell whether it’s his main body or a secondary vessel. Anyway, you will have to fight Martyr in order to remember your past and thwart Nachash’s plans” the bloke said seriously.
The battle that was not over, the true fight yet to start. A destined to happen event.
“Forget it. I can’t stand up on my own…!” Lied clenched his fists tightly.
“If you can’t do it alone, why don’t you ask for help?”
He smiled slightly and held out his hand. Hesitantly, Lied took it.
…
Lied, who stayed unconscious for a few seconds, was the center of attention in the dark chamber as he slowly tried to get back in action. Lied’s perspective was different from the onlookers. While Luna and the others witnessed his individual effort, Lied was aided by that mysterious boy’s mirage.

“He stood up!” Hector opened his mouth wide in amazement.
“I-Isn’t he a little odd?” Liana gazed at Lied intently.
“His eyes… are white?!” Eduardus noticed, too.
“The first sign of Spirit Mode” Zaccharias stated.
Lied was within the knives’ range.
“You don’t have to hurt yourself any longer…” Luna looked at him.
A thousand sharp blades coming ahead were completely dodged thanks to the strengthened combo of Sensitivity and Visibility properties. 4994 knives were left.
Though his body screamed in agony, his spirit was determined to see the trial through to the end. A new round of a thousand knives tackled the teenager who managed to sidestep them once again. 3994 knives were left.
“If I had not given up, things could have turned out differently…” Luna reflected with sadness on her life.
She embraced her neighbors’ generosity of spirit and made friends as she imagined an alternative future. Her past memories shattered into pieces; a decade-long tragedy was, at last, overcome.
“Is it okay… to believe in miracles just this once?” Luna was moved by his effort.
That was when Lied stumbled at a bad time…
“Go!” Luna cheered him on.
The lad recomposed himself immediately. A knife scraped his bare shoulder, nevertheless he did not slow down. 1994 knives were left.
Lied was pumped up due to their shouts of excitement that filled him with enthusiasm. He dodged more metal blades as he got closer to the exit gate. 994 knives were left.
“Less than a thousand knives left!” the golden-eyed crow said.
Six hundred knives hurled at him, but he successfully avoided them. 394 knives were left. The teenager dodged three hundred more metal blades. 94 knives were left.
84 knives were left. The rounds were of ten knives hereafter.
74 knives were left. He was on the home straight.

64 knives were left. Liana rejoiced at the development.
54 knives were left. Her contagious joy brightened up Hector.
44 knives were left. At no time did Eduardus lose his faith in Lied and now he felt his hope fulfilled.
34 knives were left. Zaccharias was not the least bit surprised.
24 knives were left. Luna was left flabbergasted as she sank to her knees.
14 knives were left. Luna shed tears of happiness.
“Dad, Mom. You know…” Luna thought.
Four knives were left. Three knives were left. Two knives were left. One knife was left.
“…heroes really and truly exist!” the young aztec stared at the hero.
Lied fell to the ground as the gate that led to the next floor opened at a slow speed. Before he passed out, the lad grinned at the talking crow and gave him a thumbs-up sign. Zaccharias returned the smile and adjusted his hat.
…
In Lied’s soul…
“The journey might be painful, but you must take it. I will be at your side, so don’t falter. Keep moving… always forward” the red-haired boy said.
This is another sad tale. Tragedy is inevitable.
Fate cannot be disobeyed.
It is up to the chosen one to follow the path… for that is his sacred role.

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D

In the year 2022, one year after the Z-20 Virus outbreak, all of humanity had been infected by the virus, and their bodies reacted differently. The majority of the humans turned into zombies, while the minority turned into ability users. Some didn’t change into either. They were powerless in comparison, as even feral zombies were more powerful than an average human. At 20 years old, Yang Zhang was used as a scapegoat and kicked out of his town; a medium-sized shelter base used to protect humanity from the ever-growing threat of zombie attacks. Scared and powerless against the harsh world infested with zombies, he stumbled upon a squirrel that ate the brain of a dead ability user and began discharging electricity constantly.
