Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel-Chapter 4 MY Conviction...

"Hold on, I nearly died and my luck only increased to negative 5. Doesn't that mean that something else is soon going to threaten my life again?"

The thought of this was a scary realization to Chiron. He was thirsty and needed some water. He managed to stand up and barely walk through the pain of his crouch to a water pot in the corner of the room.

he drank to his fill and the relief made him fall to his knees. He couldn't help but stay silent for some time, his heart beating fast in his chest, he could also feel a certain thrill that came from deep within him.

This was a feeling unlike any he had ever had before.

The room was dark but the light of the full moon through the window was enough for him to see his reflection in the small bowl of water. To his surprise, he found that he was smiling.

Yes! he was smiling. This was not just the happiness that came with surviving a deadly event. This was the true joy that came from his soul. In all his life, through all the suffering and pain, he had never felt so alive.

In this moment of bliss, his mind seemed to open up to the world, receiving directly from the cosmos. He came to enlightenment.

"So what? So what!? if Fate has relegated me to be its pawn, then I'll pay it back in return. I will grow, becoming strong enough to challenge the very heavens if need be. Nothing matters anymore. Nothing at all."

With what little strength he had, he brought his hand to his mouth, and bite in deep. Blood gushed out like a small stream. However, he did not feel like the pain was worthy of his conviction yet. So bite deeper, Until he could hear the disturbing cranking of his bones under the weight of his jaw did he stop.

"I swear by it: Blood, Water, Soul, and Pain. I will climb to the top. No matter what it takes, or what I have to sacrifice, I will change my own fate. This is my CONVICTION. This is my WAY. Through darkness or light, Shame or Pride. I will strip the Universe of what it owes me, and I will make it pay."

He looked outside his window. At the two moons that were still bright in full. "These two full moons shall be both my witnesses and my reminder."

>>Congratulation to host for making a major Fate changing decision<<

>>Host has been awarded 10 Major Points<<

"Huh!"

This notification came as a surprise to Chiron. Apparently, every decision he made, had a way of affecting what happened to and around him.

He suddenly giggled. He now knew what he had to do. But first, he had to assign these points and figure out what this Fate Change System was all about.

Meanwhile, On a far away continent, a young beautiful lady of renown and respect was sleeping in the comfort of her luxurious bed. The moment Chiron made his vow, she screamed in horror out of her sleep.

Her servants rushed into the room with some guards.

"Seer! Seer! What is the problem? What seems to be the matter?" They asked in worry as the guards searched around for any intruder.

She held her legs in a tight seated position. Muttering in a low tone like a mad woman, "He has changed. We are doomed!"

....

The events far away were not known to Chiron. At the moment, he had other more important things on his mind.

He willed, and the dashboard appeared before him.

//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//

>>STS<<

Rank= Nil.

Health= 10

Strength=15

Agility=2

luck= -5

Spirit energy= ??? (unusable)

Major Fate changed= 10 points

Minor Fate changed=Nil

>>Please allocate points<<

The pain from his abdomen was really uncomfortable and hurting too and he really needed to think straight at the moment. He willed and five points were allocated to Health. He suddenly felt a cool breeze wash over him. It was relaxing to every of his body. And then he noticed a visible change. The wound he had made on his hand stopped bleeding, and he could already see the healing process take place.

The pain from his abdomen also reduced significantly. The feeling was wonderful to him. At this point, he still had another 5 points to allocate. He thought hard about it, and finally made up his mind. As he was, he was too weak and only moments ago, he almost died. He immediately allocated the remaining 5 points to LUCK.

His stats had now become:

//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//

>>STS<<

Rank= Nil.

Health= 15

Strength=15

Agility=2

luck= 0

Spirit energy= ??? (unusable)

Major Fate changed= Nil

Minor Fate changed=Nil

However, in the other room, Aleen, Chiron's father was contemplating in tears whether he should have done it or if he had been too much of a coward only moments ago. Maybe he would have made a firmer decision.

He could still remember the face of his dead wife looking at him from that painting in Chiron's room.

He shook his head to get the disturbing thoughts out of his mind and stretched his hand towards Chiron's room. His hand glowed in white spirit energy. Just when he had made up his mind to just get it over with, and just blast his son to nothingness with Spirit energy.

Chiron had made the decision to put 5 points in LUCK.

The guilt of thinking this far suddenly washed over Aleen, stopping him from going through with it.

Chiron did not know that he had only narrowly just escaped sure death based on his recent decision. His mind was more focused on the Fate Change System.

The Rank tab was empty because he had not achieved any rank so far. This was something he understood. According to his memory of the book, the ranking system in this world was divided into:

Wood

Stone

copper

bronze

Silver

Gold

Earth

Diamond

God free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

Each of these Ranks was further divided into three. Which were Low, medium and high.

Each rank was a different level of power and authority and in this kind of world where dog ate dog, nothing mattered more than this.

Thinking this far, Chiron could not help but feel more excited about the future...
