《Behold the Bacterium》Chapter 9 - Breakthrough
Advertisement
Fion walked through the various streets of vinlev town before reaching the border. He looked around and saw a small isolated house on the outskirts.. It was an old house which was probably abandoned because of the two tailed rats assault. He immediately went into the house and closed the door. His heart was beating faster as he tried to calm down.
“Damn, that really was a close call. I should have used my trump card instead of a direct clash with Lan Je, especially that silver eagle strike martial art, it was extremely powerful and i even thought i was a goner …. ”
“But i really underestimated the amount of Yuan Qi generated by the bacteria, and the power behind it. …. Anyhow, i should never ever risk my life like that , at least not until i get my revenge ” fion swore in his mind.
He was thoroughly frightened and even thought that he will surely die in the last moment of the fight. Even though, Fion will be a battle maniac at times, he’s not stupid enough to go out of his way and fight an extremely powerful opponent. It will be a pure suicidal and stupid act
“For now, i have to breakthrough to the mitogene realm and increase my strength. This is the only way by which i can survive in the wilderness, now that it was many times more dangerous than before” Fion thought to himself. He took out the red autumn pellets and vile beasts nuclei from his space ring.
He took an old container from the house and put all of the vile beasts nuclei in it. These nucleus was black in colour and have the shape of a ball with several red lines along it’s circumference Fion crushed the red autumn pellets and placed it in a separate container. He kept together all the balls at the centre of the container and dumbed the powdered red autumn pellets on the nucleus, before finally adding water to the mixture.
The red autumn pellets have properties of fire and when come into contact with water, it forms a special acid. This resultant acid have two main purposes while dissolving these nucleus. First is it’s hot natured anti-bacterial property which either kills or weakened the bacteria in the nucleus. Since Martial beasts bacteria are the natural predators of human type, if one come into contact with human bacteria, it would start devouring all of them. For each human bacteria devoured by the beasts type, it would reproduce by binary fission giving birth to two Martial beasts bacteria and this process will continue until all of the bacteria will be gobbled up. Finally, the human will be having only beasts type bacteria thought the whole body

This happens only when large number of beasts bacteria came into contact. Otherwise, human bacteria will fight off the intruder, but at the cost of death of several thousand to it’s kind depending on the number of beasts bacteria. The beasts type bacteria produce a different type of Qi known as infernal Qi. These Qi were extremely harmful to human cells and upon prolonged exposure, can turn a human into a frenzy monster. The beasts nucleus has largest concentration of bacteria, when comparing to their other body parts. So it is absolutely necessary to either kill or severely weaken the bacteria before using the nucleus.
The red autumn pellet’s second most important property is that it has an organic compound which will react with chemical composition of Beasts nuclei to form nucleolus. These nucleolus is extremely important to human bacteria by which it will form a mitogene.
After Fion added water to the mixture, foul smell came as semi transparent gas emitted from the mixture. This changes indicates that bacteria was being killed and also implies that the nucleolus was being formed. After a quarter of an hour, all of the vile beasts nuclei was completely dissolved.
What remained in the container was a sticky paste comprising of nucleolus.Fion was excited when seeing the paste.
“Finally, i can once again enter the Mitogene realm“ slew of emotions stirred up in his heart. The last time, when he was about to break thorough, he had the support of the entire clan. He had everything readied for his cultivation needs.
He remembered that he was alone in the Clan’s cultivation house trying to breakthrough, and the house was surrounded by a huge crowd of people, awaiting to hear the result. Since, a person needs utmost concentration and will also be vulnerable while break thorough, they dared not allow any one to be near him. He recalled that when he successfully broke thorough, the clan threw a huge banquet for the celebration. They had every reason to celebrate at that time, because Fion was only 10 years old when he advanced into Mitogene realm and even in the whole Minrah kingdom, only a very few had broken through into Mitogene realm under this age.
“Now, let’s get this done ” a determined fion took the paste and first smeared a small amount over his hands and arms. A slight poignant sensation came as he concentrated his senses and look over the whole process. His expression turned to be one of perplex as he watched further.

In his skins, where the paste was applied, he saw the bacteria of the beasts tried to devour his bacteria. One cannot kill all of the bacteria in the nucleus by the pills, some will only be weakened and a very few can actually survive with most of it’s strength. Generally, these bacteria will be overlooked as the hosts bacteria can easily kill them, though with a very few sacrifices.
But, in his situation, when the beasts bacteria saw his own, they were terrified and tried to ran away. It was a complete one sided slaughter as the beasts bacteria was instead devoured. After a voracious meal, his bacteria began to absorb the dissolved nucleus paste and it’s chemical reaction to form a mitogene started.
Fion got another awed moment, when he found out that the mitogene was produced, within a few seconds. Not only that, the resultant mitogene immediately began to be absorbed by his cells and within a moment, his cells evolved and formed a mitogene layer which enveloped it’s nucleus.
The whole advancement process was over within some minutes, which left fion like a statue. He didn’t come to his senses until he felt the sensation of Yuan Qi being stored in his cells.
“What am i ? Really what am i … How did i get such a bacterial familia, now i can be sure that my bacterial familia was one which was above five kinds, known by humans. I think even the heavens will be jealous of me, … ” he suddenly felt an extreme grateful emotion towards the expert who gave him this body.He kneeled and bowed his head as he payed his respects to the expert.
Starting from the bottom, Bacterial familia are divided into five, they are Mitotic earth, cilium Plasma, stargaze philius, green tetanus and Myco nebulus. Fion first suspected that his bacteria should only belong to green tetanus familia since the Myco nebulus familia is only legendary. More over, he didn’t know the effects of both green tetanus and myco nebulus familia, so he naturally assumed the lowest of the two. But this incident made him rethink of his familia once again.
Every cultivator more or less knows the legend of blue flame emperor. He was an ultimate expert with powers which can even shook the entire world. He had the most powerful kind of bacterial familia, known to humans which is the myco nebulus stage . During this breakthrough to Mitogene stage, his bacteria fought equally with the Martial beasts bacteria. Since then, he always held the record of losing least amount of bacteria while advancing to mitogene realm.
Fion just now shattered his record and just made a new one which will most likely never be broken for all eternity. Not only that, from what he knows, it will take at least an hour before producing a mitogene. After the production, a cell will take another hour to assimilate it. It’s assimilation rate would depend on the quality of the mitogene produced. The higher the quality , the faster it’s rate of assimilation will be and greater it’s capacity of storing Yuan Qi.
Fion’s hand trembled as he smeared the remaining amount of paste all over his body. Only some minutes passed before fion felt that the whole of nuclei paste were used. His body was bristling with energy as huge amounts of Yuan Qi were being stored in his mitogene. This moment, he enters the entry phase of mitogene realm.
“Ahh , This feeling … it’s been a while, it’s really different having complete control of Qi rather than temporary control like i did when facing Lan Je ” Fion was delighted. Suddenly, he realised something strange

So I will make the kings clash their weapons against each other rather than their generals (of course I will make their general fight with them). >I have added the high fantasy tag so that you understand the world in this story has its own rules that are different from the real world. >This story includes sword fight, magic fight, barehand fight, war between kingdoms, strategy, city / castle infiltration, conspiracy, betrayal and a few chapters of romantic scenes at the beginning of the story (that looks like a boring 'fairy tale love story', but you will understand their love story actually a slow romance and full of conspiracy at the middle of story). >I'm not a pro writer, so there will be a lot of errors. >Cover by commission

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****

Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!
