《The Cursed Throne》Chapter 2
Advertisement
While Scott and Sid were talking in their room, doctor was looking over the reports concerning the Kid. He has looked over these reports countless time, but he still found this amazing. During his career as a Doctor, he has looked over countless strange cases, but he never came across something like this. He has seen much kind of ability users, but he has never seen something like this. This was on a total different level from those so-called ‘Regenerators’. More than 20 broken bones, facture in skull, a massive brain hemorrhage due to excessive intracranial bleeding, and various other life threatening injuries which can take life of a normal person if they receive even one of them. But to think that these kinds of injuries will appear on the same person and a little kid on top of that. What is more shocking that the kid was able to recover from all of that in a short amount of time? Although Doctor ought to tell this Scott as he was the one who brought Sid to hospital, but he wasn’t sure how to explain such a thing. Doctor thought aloud while he looked at the reports, “Truly extraordinary! Although I have seen many people with extraordinary regeneration and healing abilities but I have never seen someone recover from such serious injuries so fast. What an amazing healing ability. No….it wasn’t something as simple as healing. It was like….like the time was flowing backwards.” As Doctor thought this he felt it was a ridiculous thought. So he cast it aside. But he still couldn’t stop thinking about this. He sighed and went back to do his work.
--------------------------------------
It’s been a week since that incident. Sid was now well enough to be discharged from the hospital. Well, to be honest he was already healed completely on the 3rd day, but doctor couldn’t just discharge him so soon without any proper reason. So he just delayed it for a week. Although Sid stayed at hospital for a whole week, Scott was still shocked at his recovery speed. As far as he knew, Sid at least had 6 or 7 broken bones and also a massive blood loss. It was almost impossible to recover so quickly unless healing ability was used. But unfortunately healing ability users were extremely rare even on the entire earth. So it was impossible to find one in a small city like city Z.

Still he didn’t think too much about it and went to complete the procedure for Sid’s discharge. As Scott was about to go back, Doctor suddenly called out to him, “Mr. Barney please hold on for a second” As he quickly approached him.
When Scott saw the serious expression on the doctor’s face, he thought it was something important as his face turned serious as well. Doctor approached him and said seriously, “Mr. Barney, you might have noticed that Sid is unusually indifferent to people for such a young kid. I don’t know what happened to turn him into someone like this, but it was definitely a serious incident. I hope you will take good care of him.” Although it looked like doctor said this with just some good intention, but Scott understood the underlying meaning. He just asked him to take care of Sid and took him at his place. Even if doctor didn’t ask him, he would have done the same as well. But he didn’t make too much of it. After talking with the doctor for a bit, he went to Sid’s room to take him home.
Scott went back to Sid’s room, and saw him ready to leave. Scott saw him wearing clothes he bought and said while grinning, “Not bad kid. You look good. If you take care of your appearance properly in future, I’m sure that all girls will go crazy for you.”
“I don’t have the luxury to dress as extravagantly as this.” Sid replied with a frown, as he looked at himself in the mirror. With his black hair, deep blue eyes and fair skin, he looked like a well made doll. No matter who, will always turn back to take a second look at him because of his cuteness.
“Now-now, there is no need to be stiff. You need to learn to joke a bit, or girls won’t like you.” Seeing the indifference of Sid, Scott replied with a loud laugh as he didn’t really care about his expressionless face.

“Well, I am grateful for all you have done for me, I will make sure to pay you back whenever I have the opportunity.” Sid politely bowed towards Scott and made his way towards the exit. When Scott saw him leaving, he hurriedly stopped him and said, “Wait a second Kid! Where are you going?”
“I’m leaving the hospital.” Sid replied calmly.
“I know that, but where are you planning to go? You don’t have a place to go right?” Scott asked Sid.
“No but I am sure I can survive just fine even without a home.” Sid replied as it was a very normal thing to be homeless.
When Scott heard his reply he was speechless. He was not sure how to reply him. ‘This Kid is too emotionless, I’m that he has some sort of tragic past’ he thought.
“I say, if you don’t have a place to go back, how about come and live with me? Its not like it’s a bad deal right?” Scott said as he looked carefully at Sid.
And just as he expected, Sid expression finally changed. He looked at Scott with amazement and doubt, as he asked cautiously, “Why would you invite someone like me to live with you? You don’t even know anything about me. Are you planning to kidnap me and sell me somewhere?” Sid looked at Scott with cautiousness and alert like he was facing a great enemy at this moment.
When Scott saw the expression on Sid’s face, he laughed loudly and said, “Hahaha! Kid, so you can make some expression as well. You are a kid after all.” He once again started laughing loudly.
When Sid saw Scott laughing loudly as he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he was a bit embarrassed as well as angry. His face turned red as he replied angrily, “What’s so funny about this? Isn’t it a normal reaction to be vary of something like this?”
When Scott heard this, he stopped laughing and once again looked at Sid with praise in his eyes as he said, “Well, for a kid you sure are intelligent. Yes you are right. You should be vary of people who are strangers. But you should also remember that I’m the person who saved your life not just anyone.” He said while grinning.
When Sid saw his smile, he felt a little guilty, and said with a polite bow, “I’m sorry Mr. Barney, even though you saved my life, I still said something like that to you. I hope you can forgive me.” And once again bowed deeply.
Scott saw this and said, “Well there is not need to be so formal. I know you didn’t mean anything bad so I forgive you.”
“So, what are you going to do kid? Are you coming with me or not?” Scott asked once again with a big smile on his face.
Sid looked at him for a few seconds, and replied with a little hesitation. “Then I will trouble you Mr. Barney.” Scott laughed loudly and turned around to leave the hospital with Sid.
‘Well, I guess my little tasteless life will be a bit interesting now.’ As Scott thought this he laughed to himself and left hospital together with Sid.

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman
