《Cartilage Of Life》Chapter 6: Bullet
Advertisement
The gun man sigh’s
“are you two okay?”
Aria who was frozen in his place fell down to his knees and started crying, I managed to get myself together and stood up
“yeah thanks for helping us…”
He opens up the chamber of his revolver, he flicks it causing it spin around quickly then he put’s it back in
“6 more bullets…Help? You’re welcome but I think your friend there needs help”
I rush over to Aria
“Aria! Aria can you hear me!”
Aria looked at me with tears uncontrollably dripping from his eyes, he didn’t nod nor speak a word
“Take em to your room that should help him recover, the environment around it will contribute some years into his brain so he can process those events just now but the Death Festa started so I’d recommend you get yourself a weapon at the very least”
I carried Aria gently and placed him on my back, supporting his weight using my two hands holding up his legs, after all of what just happened I’m exhausted and I wonder if I can continue walking even
I opened the door to our room with one hand barely managing to keep him from falling, I placed him on the bed wrapping a blanket around his whole body
“I’m sorry Aria….i couldn’t protect you…”
Aria was shivering like crazy but he managed to muster in a few words
“I….want to go home….”
“I do too buddy”
I caress his hair steadily feeling whatever warm that was left in this cold desolate place
Aria is weak no he beyond weak, he is easily manipulated and easily hurt, his emotions tale a toll on him and sometimes cloud his judgment to the point of panicking, he isn’t the type to fight nor is he the type to bear the pain of any of this

I trusted Aria I expected too much of him didn’t i? I’ve always done that to him
I always used the excuse of “I’m doing this for his own good” or “So he can grow as a person” in truth I pushed him so that he doesn’t end up like me but I pushed him too hard I threw him off the edge now look at what this had resulted
Aria I’m so sorry that you had to see all that at such a young age… I’m sorry
*knock knock*
I quickly moved into a fighting stance
“Don’t be alarmed kid it’s me, I’m just here to tell you to get some rest, tomorrow will be the official beginning of the Death Festa, Two down five more to go in our case it’s four more since your problem seems like he can’t even move anymore”
I kept fearing about this Death Festa ever since Marco confronted me about it, seems like it is so kind of survival game
Game huh? So we are nothing but today and entertainment aren’t we?
“Since you two didn’t get the chance to get enough information about this place then I would highly advise you to check whatever shortage compartment you have in their, inside you’ll find a weapon for the both of you and a misally little flyer that contains all the rules and regul bullshit so read it cause you will need it tomorrow”
From the door I heard footsteps growing smaller and smaller
I hurried over to the cabinet in the room and found three items
A big spiked shield (Aria)
A dull sharp-less sword (Yutou)
And the flyer

The only path left to him is the path of Divine Cultivation, a mystical cultivation path that focuses on the soul and forming contracts with the Spirits of powerful Spirit Beasts that have taken human form. However, when he spends over 4 years trying to sense the spirit force of his first Spirit Beasts Spirit Realm, the rest of the clan deem him as a complete waste. One day, when the young man was 13, he met his first spirit contract, and his Legend begun there. The Legend of the creator of the ultimate cultivation Scripture in history. The creator of the Primordial Evolution Scripture, Jing Guanyu! The Primordial Emperor! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The inspiration for Book (brackets say roughly what I got inspiration from) Do note: I do completely copy anything from any books. All of this book is original and all the books mentioned below are simply inspiration that gave me the ideas in regards to whats in the brackets. It may seem similar (like with MW I also use the E-E-D cultivation but my definitions and cultivation realms are different from the inspirations) > Martial World (Cultivation Paths) > Lord Xue Ying (Non-Generic Plot) > Stellar Transformations (Unique Cultivation Technique) > Consuming Earth, Devouring Skies (Character Development) > Ancient Godly Monarch + Invincible (Martial Spirits + Own touch to this idea) > The Storm King + Lament of the Fallen (The Soul Realm/Soul Domain) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Final words: Ok, I will just say that there are several reasons why the MC's cultivation speed is so mediocre despite how "talented" he is. There are logical reasons and they will be explained when necessary. Just remember that cultivation speed isn't everything. Hope you enjoy. I will take constructive feedback and logical criticism. However, I will not even reply to illogical criticism, rants or salty people who got pissed off because the main character didn't get "that divine medicine" or "this divine sword" or whatever. Note: I have marked all 4 of the content warning boxes due to a uncertainty in how dark, gory, descriptive or traumatizing my story will get. Btw, the cover isn't my property but was gotten from a website on mythology (greek I think). IF they ask me to take it down, then I shall. IF NOT, then IDGAF. LOL
