Author: I was reading all your comments and had a massive inspiration concerning the future of Kuro’s class system since the gods are full of it and it will in the end be perfect for his future goals. Everything I read matters greatly for his future, but will not be implemented by him easily. Read and you will understand. His constant system change was done for a reason too.

Thank you guys for reading.

Amare’s POV

I’m staring at a bunch of fools. Val is the only reliable one as always, though Selerius seems to be oddly open about this matter. It seems she has matured much compared to before. I'll have to find out why, she used to be one of my main problems during these meetings.

“So we agree that Kuro’s system is to undergo another reconfiguration.” (Carn)

“Yes” (5 Gods)

“No” (3 Gods)

“Stop trying to protect him, that system is far too exploitable. In only a week that brat accumulated skills far more quickly than his passing 13 years.” (Pladius)

“Oh please, and the other chosen weren’t gifted further in the hopes to stay ahead.” (Amare)

“That's different.” (Bell)

“Far from it.” (Val)

“Val, stay out of this.” (Kronum)

It’s always the usual with these idiots. Everyone looking to move ahead in this new system of government we are under. The old days never had this problem. *Sigh* if only ‘that’ didn't happen, the others used to get things done so efficiently.

“We are reaching a period where the chosen can no longer stay as inactive as they’ve been. It was necessary to enhance them for what's to come.” (Cosmian)

“Yet you try to hinder one of them, how does that benefit anything.” (Amare)

“That black listed soul shouldn’t even be one of them. How he slipped past the checks, and why you don't seem to mind, is something I wish to know.” (Pladius)

“He even wiped out a town.” (Bell)

“What of it, the ones in there at the time were either the sect idiots or money mongers who didn’t want to abandon their businesses.” (Val)

“He still got off too easily in my opinion.” (Bell)

“Amare, you should know more than anyone what those under the black list have done, so...why keep him?” (Kronum)

“What does it matter to us why. I myself have also questioned it for a time...but I have yet to see any reason to obstruct Kuro after looking at him with my own eyes.” (Selerius)

Interesting, so she has indeed grown after the incident with her chosen. She even stood up against the people she normally allies herself with during the vote and again now. The future at least doesn’t seem so bleak if a few more like her appear. Some things shouldn't be judged without seeing it for yourself. A concept many here don't seem to adhere to.

“Whatever her reasons, it’s too late to do anything about it. We already outweighed the naysayers so the motion has passed. Right Cosmian.” (Pladius)

“Indeed...the meeting has now come to a close. The new system will be implemented tomorrow.” (Cosmian)

As expected, unfortunately for them I made a few contingencies.

“...I’m sorry.” (Selerius)

“*Smile* don't mind it, I’m just glad to know you have grown from what has transpired before.” (Amare)

“I um...I will take my leave.” (Selerius)

Hmm, something is on her mind. When she is ready then.

“Are you not going to do anything?” (Val)

“Fufu, do you think I didn’t expect this. I’m not someone so easily cornered you know.” (Amare)

“If it's like that, then I look forward to the results.” (Val)

Kuro’s POV

I began hearing a commotion at the far end of the village, is it a monster raid? The warning bell wasn't sounded.

When I reached the disturbance I am met with Hank being tossed around in a miserable state, Lock was feet up within a nearby barrel. Many of the villagers look afraid, while some seem to be going toward my home to get help. *Twitch* the culprit as it so happens to be someone I’ve seen before in my dream plus 5 extra. They dare to cause trouble before I even attacked them, does this mean I now have probable cause? Whatever.

Using my new movement skill, I appeared in front of the bastard about to stomp Hank further into the ground. He is in bad shape, but he will live. The guy looked to be trying to prolong the fight from what I could tell.

It’s unfair but, without fighting techniques Hank can't keep up. It’s possible to make them, but ones that have been made from generations of practice are usually more powerful since they cover their weaknesses over time. The ones that Hank and Lock invented have too many flaws.

As I am now though, I can help improve their current abilities. Most of the skills I got are at the beginning stages and I have the really basic forms since Amare told me I’m under a time constraint. But with time they can be something to fear. From how Amare wants me to get as much as I can I bet I’m in for another rework, this system was really exploitable though, so annoying.

What makes me strong right now is my [Bloodwake Steps]. They are derived from my races lineage, allowing me to have an instinctual understanding of how to use them. It feels extremely natural to use, and made sparring with Hank and Lock a nightmare for them.

Even so, with what these people have horded, there is no doubt something on the higher ups that would make a fight with them a joke. It’s one of the main reasons I spent time making all sorts of useful things. The most important thing to have, is a reliable weapon. My last one shattered from a strike from a disciple back in Tarthus. Thus inspiring me to put in extra effort for this.

I had Rust build the frame for it to save time, I did the rest using my class skills.

Sharpness up (Medium)

Balance up (Small)

Thanks to the arrays I learned from the dungeon, I can enchant my creations with elemental properties when filled with mana. Plus a few other interesting effects that I also incorporated into the final version of the [Binding Needle]. The very ones heading straight toward the five behind the idiot in front of me.

*Shick**Shick**Shick**Shick**Shick*

“Ugh!” (Guard 1)

“Wha-” (Guard 2)

“Ow” (Guard 3)

“The Hell” (Guard 4)

“Ah!” (Guard 5)

“Sit down and shut up.” (Kuro)

The shocked expressions on their faces as they adhered to my will was priceless. You could only see the struggle in their eyes as they sat on the floor. The one in front of me looked back in shock. It not good to turn your back on your opponent you know.

I quickly grew close as I swung my blade. As it reached his neck, he suddenly vanished. In moments my mind flared to a presence behind me and I immediately blocked the incoming strike. My opponent seems frustrated to be blocked. Spoiled no doubt.

He stepped back to break the lock on our blades and mess with my balance, lashing out at my eyes with his swords tip. When it drew close I shifted the earth under his feet with magic and caused him to stumble. With his own balance ruined he activated his movement skill again and vanished from my eyes, only to appear a few meters away.

“Hahaha, what fun. Do try to entertain me more. Hmm…” (Second son)

What a prick.

“Ah, you look like that dead faced girl at home. Girl, no a boy…*Gasp*...hahahahahahahaha. You didn’t die? Hahaha, this is priceless, the little baby brat didn’t die. Hey there, do you all want to know a secret!” (Second son)

During our quick exchange, a crowd formed. The girls that arrived a bit ago are either putting on a perplexed or angry expression as they help Hank and Lock to their feet. This guy in front of me seems to be enjoying the attention. Whatever it is sound annoying.

“Ah! Don't go attacking people when they are talking. I mean come now, don't you want to hear what I have to say (There are so many interesting people here)?” (Second son)

Puerial tossed some of her magic at him, though she didn’t appear serious. I’ll have to lecture her about underestimating opponents.

“Well since you all appear to be impatient. Blackie, come introduce yourself to your half brother Linex. You are long overdue to pay your respects.” (Second son)

“Who would do such a thing for such a disgusting fellow.” (Kuro)

Anger visibly flared from this Linex guy. He may actually be my brother, but I have no filial feelings for him or the others. Everyone else became puzzled over his words, though Shiro and Puerial seem to think nothing of it. We’ve become more in sync lately for obvious reasons and developed all sorts of group combat contingencies. The two also lost the anxiety they always carried and act more naturally and less clingy. Besides them still following me to bed.

“You bastard. *Smirk* I’m glad father killed that filthy whore of a mother that bore you-” (Linex)

*Clash*

Our blades met as his eyes widened in shock of my sudden appearance. After analyzing his movement technique, I can keep up. Compared to a hereditary technique, how can his match up when mine feels far more natural to perform, add wind enhanced magic clad and his technique would barely match up. He also seems to be the type that prefers to mess around rather than train diligently.

The others seem to be unwilling to interfere with this match. I’m glad they are so tactful.

Linex swiftly moved away from me as he prepared a combat stance. Energy began to swirl around his blade as he prepared to charge forward. However I refused to allow him the upper hand as I appeared to his side with my blade already swung toward his neck.

He panicked as he jumped away, letting his energy dissipate. I bet he never fought anyone who could properly fight back.

His composure came back as he began filling his limbs with fire mana before making an explosive charge in my direction. I summoned a few ice javelins as they were shot in his direction before I moved in. Linex deflected my magic leaving him far too open for my next attack. I swung out as he barely avoided a deep wound across his chest. His face contorting away from the smug grin he used to wield into something resembling an ogre.

“You! Don't blame big bro for becoming rough!” (Linex)

I said nothing as I prepared my stance which cause him to grow angrier. He pulled out a medallion and slammed it upon his chest. Not wanting to wait for him to finish, I charged forward. My blade met his, yet this time I was pushed back a full 10 meters.

“Hehe, good thing I nabbed this from the vault before I left. Bro, try not to die too quickly.” (Linex)

Crap, is that an artifact? Should have just killed him when he was talking before.

Linex charged forward with much greater speed than before. With madness in his eyes, he swung his blade down upon me. I shifted to the side to offset his increased strength as I blocked his blade. My body flew back with his momentum as he leaped toward me to follow through with his first strike.

Clash after clash, sparks were left as were continued our fight against each other. The entire time I aimed to stab at the medallion on his chest, though he stopped all my attempts with a sneer.

As I got pushed back further his blade suddenly shifted shape and struck my chest.

It was an unexpected function that proved to have almost cost me my life. Seeing me still alive made Linex displeased. Now that I know of his swords function, he won't take me by surprise anymore.

Healing also proved unnecessary as my current armor was sufficient enough to protect me.

Hybridized ArmorMetal/Cloth Armor (chest)Rank: CDescription:Made of mysterious material. The fabric was woven through special methods to form an odd hybridization between high quality metal and cloth with enhanced properties.Effects:Defense up (Medium)

Softness up (Upper Medium)

Retractive attribute

Self Repair (Very Small)

It’s only a prototype since I’m hoping to get some boosting properties for future models. But it gets the job done and is quite popular with the ones who know of my activities. It’s also what protected Hank and Locks vitals during their fight with Linex.

Thanks to its high defense, his blades ability couldn't pass through to injure me. If he himself actually struck out at me, than I would most likely take damage. I’m not sure how much though.

He eyed my clothing in frustration since his own doesn’t seem to be as good. Unfortunately for him, he won't ever get to appreciate its comfort.

I charged at him once more as I activated my blades flames. His Blade met mine as he filled it with fire mana. To his dismay his blade showed signs of melting as the heat proved too much. Since I wanted to analyze it I pulled away as I broke the earth beneath his feet causing him to stumble forward. This opportunity was not wasted as my blade slashed at his chest. The medallion rolled on the pavement and he appeared to have fallen into a pain filled frenzy. The sudden removal of the tool may cause backlash.

In his pain filled state, I finally saw some fear in his eyes. [Binding Needle] may not work on strong people initially. But if they are severely injured, or crippled, than they can be victims like anyone else. I have a lot of things I want to try on my Dear-Older-Brother.

*Malicious Grin*
