《Devour》Chapter 3: Monster Core
Advertisement
"Today, we have a new transfer student," Ms. Remy said in a quiet voice, but everyone can hear her as she waves her hand, giving Jio permission to enter the classroom, "Come and introduce yourself."
"Hello, I'm Jio D. Spirit, fifteen years old from Cauayan city...hope you guys treat me well," Jio smiles as he introduces himself in front of everyone.
Ms. Remy assigns Jio a sit by the window besides Mickey, a perverted guy to the bone with no way of saving him back to be a normal human being.
"So tell me, Jio, did you get a good look at those wonderful mountain peaks?" Mickey starts to visualize Ms. Remy's peaks as he imagines touching those soft peaks
"Quiet! If I'm not mistaken, most of you guys don't have a soul weapon," Ms. Remy shouts and continues, "This class has a week to get one, or you'll be expelled! Dismiss"
Jio looks at Ms. Remy and the whole class, confused since he just got on his seat and the teacher is already leaving for the day after tasking the entire class one thing.
A soul weapon is where a blacksmith combines a regular weapon and a Monster race or beast core or parts. Jio might have a weapon but not a soul weapon which Ms. Remy requires. He doesn't have the necessary material to make a soul weapon, unlike Mickey beside him seems happy for no reason.
"You are not worried?" Jio asks Mickey, assuming he already has one.
"Oh, hell yea! I already have it, so I have this whole week off!" Mickey happily replies as he thinks of the week ahead.
"Lucky! Well, I need to go now since I need to find or buy a soul weapon" Jio waves his hand, leaving the class right away.

Walking in the forest while thinking of what type of soul weapon he wants, he doesn't know if Old Fang has the necessary materials or he might already have it on the stock. Jio is lost in thought as he walks in the woods, thinking of the perfect soul weapon for him to utilize.
"Where am I at?" Lost and confused. He tried to trace his way back, but it seems he went straight deep into the forest.
Not knowing where to go, Jio keeps on walking and hoping to find the way back. He walks for hours and must find shelter before it gets dark if he doesn't want to deal with wild beasts. While looking for a place to stay for a night and on the way back, he heard a loud bang as he cautiously investigates and walks towards the sound and saw a Monster race fighting a slime.
Jio immediately takes out two magic stones, water, and ice, realizing that they are both weak and can be defeated with the element of surprise. One is a weird-looking slime that has the ability to harden, while the other one is a normal Gecko that belongs to a Monster race that has the ability to adapt but at a very slow pace. Jio thinks that killing bought would be the most efficient way, but the Gecko didn't do anything bad or wrong to him and decided to help. Water surrounds the weird-looking slime and uses ice magic to freeze the water with the slime; Jio took out his sword then hits the block of ice, causing it to scatter everywhere.
"You know that I don't need your help, HUMAN" A weird cracking female voice coming from a Gecko that has a human facial feature.
Jio is frozen on the spot, knowing that a Monster race can be dangerous but helping this Gecko can help him go back to school.

"You don't need to be afraid," the Gecko said and pick up two ice block looking what's inside and throw one to Jio for no reason "Take this since your the one who killed the King Slime! I thought humans say 'thank you if someone offered something precious?"
"Tha..thank you! King slime?" Scratching his head, not knowing that slime also have a king.
"Yes, and kings are born every hundred years, they have the ability to harden, two cores and command slime... I only need one core," the Gecko swallow the first core she collected from the scattered body, and her skin starts changing from dark green to light brown and from her hard skin to soft skin like the Human Race; this happens so quickly that this Gecko monster now looks like a beautiful fairy-like feature and with the previous fight cause her clothes to show more skin. This usually makes any men' blood boils.
The Gecko monster's voice change from a weird cracking voice to a soft angelic voice and continue "That core is spacial, put a drop of your blood and place it to your sword to make it a soul sword if I'm not mistaken... You, humans, are weird with names and take this blood of mine to make it stronger as a token for helping me... Lucky human," she smiles and leaves without a trace.
Jio smiles, knowing that his luck strikes again for not dying this time and might have gathered all necessary items for a soul weapon but still lost in the forest.

Jericho never thought about gaining superpowers. Like everyone else in society, he simply expected his abilities to manifest on their own, but they never did. With the help of his doctor, it looks like Jericho finally hit a breakthrough, and after a few years of being powerless, things might start looking up for him. Join Jericho and others as they interact in this world where everyone has extraordinary abilities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ HIATUS NOTE (Please read): Starting June, I will be going on a summer hiatus (around 3 months) to focus on my future career and set myself up to succeed in school. I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).

The world as I knew it ended, well not really ended. Just changed. And in this change many things became apparant. the nature of our psyche was one. The death of our beloweds was another. we are the lucky few, the ones who survived, and who hopefully will continue to survive.

But due to greed from Vincent, Ethan was betrayed by him and ran off with artifacts that would have made them both rich. Ethan wanted his revenge, and once he heard that Vincent found an untouched star system, containing a long-gone civilization, he wanted to try his best to follow him there to try and gain the most valuable artifacts there. And he did manage it, but only to accidentally activate a strange artifact that made him and Vincent be transported to a different place. Now lost, they needed to find the way back from this strange and mysterious place. ---------- Length: I try to keep the chapters around 2000 words, but sometimes I would do more. (The first chapter is 4000 words btw)schedule: ***On Pause*** I would gladly appreciate getting reviews. Just to know if the story is good. I'm fine with critics.
