《There can be Darkness without Light》Chapter 13: A break from training

Done!
Enjoy the chapter!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Today i woke up at early night time.
I’ve been waking up like this for the last half year.
The reason behind this is that I can put on the two magic bracelets that I made from the magic horns and start my early training.
I thought about making two link rings. The rings would be connected by my soul but after thinking if it would be possible given my power there was a huge chance of failure so I made the mana storage bracelets.
The bracelets are super easy to make, it’s just that the process of making them is accompanied by a few problems. You have to pour mana into them until they are able to hold mana and you can’t fire of any spells that would break the link. Experts are able to make them rather easy, but sadly this body of mine isn’t that great yet. This can take time but luckily the first bracelet on my left hand started storing mana after only 2 months and the other on the right hand after 4 months.
The rabbit horn bracelet are not able to store that much mana into them, the amount they can store being about the amount needed for one 5th rank spell. But they don’t take that much time to recharge, only about a week.
It has now been 5 months since I made them. A month after making the bracelets mom told me that she is pregnant. I tried my best to act surprised but still the joy I felt got the best of me so there was no need too.
Since then mom has started going out and walking around. She’s very happy that she’s getting another child. Father is also very happy. Now he doesn’t hunt as much and spends much more time in the house.
I was forced to stop my training to help around with the chores, which I don’t mind. My revenge can wait forever, family comes first. Since then I made almost no progress in gaining more status. The only status I gain now is agility and stamina. Sometimes I even do the hunting but the hunts are mostly close to the house and the pray is most hunter rabbits that’s why I don’t gain so much status.
I also noticed that it’s getting harder and harder to gain more points in status. Now only once every two weeks I would gain agility while stamina would increase every once a week.
The status right now looks like this.

Storing mana gained me a breakthrough in magic.

But I really have to do something about that luck…
How do you even increase luck?
I’ll figure that out later..
For now I’ll just focus on washing the dishes.
The chores around the house are not that hard. Dad is mostly staying with mom so that she doesn’t feel lonely. Dad told me that when women are pregnant they need to be handled with a lot of care, with which I agree. Right now my mother has been pregnant for 4 and ½ months and her belly is very big. She can barely bend down. So a week ago she stopped taking her daily walks.
I try to do my best to do the chores and spend time with my family. The training can wait until my brother/sister is around 3 years old, until then I will spend every second of my time being together with him/her.
Last night we talked about names. My mom decided that if it’s a girl I will choose the name. And if it’s a boy dad will since mom choose my name.
I already have a name in mind, Lea. If I get a little sister I want her name to be Lea. I already said that to mom and she said that it was a beautiful name. My dad is still deciding. For now he thinks that he will name him Aron. I like the name Aron as well it sounds like a name of someone powerful and I want my future little brother to be powerful.
After going downstairs I see the pile of dishes that have been unwashed and start washing them before I take my bath.
After I was done with the dishes I went to the living room and told my parents.
-Hisse: Mom, dad good morning, I’m going to take a bath, is there anything that needs to be done before I do so?-
-Rose: No sweetie, go ahead and take your bath. Are you able to heat the bath yourself? Mommy can’t walk around that well right now.-
Pregnancy is a very strong weakness to vampires. The blood in their vines grows weaker and the baby drains most of the nutrition.
-Hisse: Don’t worry mom I can heat the bath myself with my fire magic.-
-Rose: As expected of my little genius, why even ask hehe. Just be sure to clean up after yourself.-
-Hisse: Oke mom.-
The bath was already filled with water. I walked to the tub and put my hand in the water.
-Hisse: Ignition.-
Ignition was the most basic fire spell, it existed for a long time. It drains almost no mana and it heats up your hand. You don’t feel the heat but the others do. But, ignition can also be a powerful spell. The more mana you pour into it the stronger it becomes.

For example, warriors in the past that had high mana instead of using their ki they used ignition on their blades. Those who were very strong were able to cut through some of the strongest materials. Though casting it on other things can take some training, with some time I mean 4 to 10 years. You have to completely master ignition.
Those who are talented can shorted the time to 2 years if they train very hard. I’ve seen my mother do it before. She would cast ignition on her blade to cut through the meat easier.
After 5 minutes bubbles start to appear on the surface of the tub and I know that the water is hot enough. Even if it was too hot I do have fire resistance since the fire element is on my side. As for how much fire resistance I have that I do not know. Maybe it will appear on my 10th birthday.
Taking of my cloths and stepping into the bath feels very nice. While sitting down in the tub I start looking at my own reflection. The shoulder long black hair, the red eyes and my childish face. My mom tells me that I have a very cute face, she said that It looks very cute and innocent.
Arggg.. Cute maybe. But innocent? I don’t think so. I wonder what she would say if she found out the truth.
Bleh.. Let’s get past those thoughts… My past doesn’t matter anymore, well it does but still… I’d rather not worry about it now. There does seem to be a legend even on this planet about me.
On this planet they call me The Serpent of Demise. And as the legend also tells that I left 20 weapons on this planet that only those worthy are able to wield.
When I first heard of the name Serpent of Demise I thought that it might be someone else. But when I heard that he left 20 weapons I knew it was me. I used to do such things back then. Making strong weapons and leaving them to those who are strong. I tried to suck out every bit of fun I can have out of them. But I don’t ever remember being on this planet. Maybe some of the Overlords brought them over here.
Overlord is the fourth highest ranking one can have. The reason I’m assuming that it was an Overlord is because only those who are of that rank are able to drop that weapon. Anyone of higher rank is unable to wield the weapons I make, simply because they would be able to rule 1/3 of the universe if they were the fuse the weapon with their own soul weapon.
The soul weapons are the very reflection of our souls. Once someone is at the age of 10-15 they should be able to summon their soul weapon. The soul weapons have a ranking of their won. A soul weapon can go into stage 3, 2 and 1. The stage 1 is what you call the ultimate form of the weapon. The weapons that I left are created to be fused with the soul weapons. The soul weapon will transform and receive new form of stages and it will become 10 if not 100 times more powerful.
Those who don’t thirst for battle can’t fuse my weapons to their soul. Soul weapons come in shape of our souls. The shape that is most suited for us to use. Once they are formed at the age 10-15 they can’t transform unless they go up a stage.
For example my soul weapon at stage 3 is a katana, stage 2 the katana becomes longer and just by looking at it you would get scared to the core of your soul. At stage 1… The scythe. The scythe is my greatest masterpiece. It is something which can destroy this universe if it gained a will of its own. Though I’m sure Gaia would just restore it again…
If the Overlord doesn’t drop the weapon they won’t be able to make any progress in ranking up. But they would still be able to become a peak level Overlord. So I’m assuming that the one that dropped of these weapons must have been a peak level Overlord.
The legend also tells that the Serpent of Demise was defeated by the High God Thriox that this planet is named after. Well whatever, not that I care that much. But I would like to meet this Thriox and slap him…. A couple trillion times..
After being done with my bath I step out to dry myself. For that I use my water magic. I just remove all the water of my body. It’s called water manipulation. It’s exactly as the names tells. You manipulate water, though my control over it is not that great I can still remove it from my hair and body.
After doing that I put on a new set of cloths and get ready to do some hunting.
After saying that I’m going hunting to my mom and dad I step outside.
“Kshhhhhh”
-Hisse: Dammit, why does it have to rain just as I step outside.-
Seeing the heavy rain I lost my will to hunt.
-Hisse: Looks like more chores are the only things I will do tonight.-

Gangs From Another World
This story takes place in a world like our own where magic and high technology rule the day. This particular world is ruled by a feline race. The race is divided up into 12 clans (like Greek city-states), with their own territories, solar systems and planets. These 12 clans answer to the original Home World for external disputes, negations, emergencies or to direct military operations only. Within the time-frame of this story, a new Emperor has recently ascended the throne, approximately a year has past since the ascension. He was the previous ruler of the Clan Ya-kith-Thar or Clan founding #3, world of the artisan cats. Unfortunately, not all residents have benefited from technological wonders. The forgotten, who were not lucky enough to be Royal born or middle class and above, experience a hard life, like those of the colonial worlds. The poorer denizens see the technological marvels from their windows, and yet experience little of it. This is the story of one such group living in the ghetto of the Capital city, written by Horus Blackburn, leader of the North-Central Gang.
