Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel-Chapter 5 I Need Power...

Chiron was very familiar with this world. In fact, he was far more familiar than he wanted to. He was aware of disasters that were either going to come as a result of foolish mistakes or just the gods having fun with man.

But at the moment, he was weak. Far too weak to do anything. If any of those disasters were to occur now, he would be blown away like a fly. He did not even have enough strength to stop a strangle attempt on his life.

This meant that the first thing to acquire was power. But even that was not as easy as it seemed. He had good knowledge of treasures that the MC of the book would acquire and even those ancient inheritances that other people were destined to encounter, however, just getting to those places was going to be more difficult than a horse through the eye of the needle.

The first step was to build himself.

He felt better than before. Although he still felt some pain from his crouch, it was not as intense as earlier. He went by the side of his bed and took the paintbrush his younger sister had been using to draw on his face.

He sat in a corner and made his plan on a stone slab.

This world was very big. In fact, it was at least Fifty times the size of the earth. It was a world of wonder and bliss. Some of the continents were so remotely placed that even the MC of the book never reached them throughout the entire book.

In Chiron's view of things, this world could be described in a sentence, "A marriage between Eastern cultivation and western fantasy."

It was surprisingly so balanced that the power systems matched properly. It was like how Microwave, Infrared, sunlight, X-ray,s etc... Were all of the electromagnetic spectrum.

This world had different sources of power that either complimented one another or aggressively smashed against each other.

The ones he could remember were:

Spirit or soul Energy 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

Demon Energy

Devil Energy

Elemental or Mana energy

Aura

Many of these energies complimented one another and some others were like a mix of oil and water. For example, Elemental energy was a good compliment to Aura but a terrible compliment to Demon and Devil energy.

It was usually advisable to stick to one form of energy, or else, blowing up from inside out as a result of the mix could happen.

Yet, these energies had variations to them depending on their usage. There was also the fact that some young genius out there, could outrightly discover a new form of their usage.

After outlining the different Energies, it was now time for him to decide on one he must grow in.

As it was, Chiron was on a Continent and amongst a tribe that use Spirit Energy as their source of power. The name of this tribe was called Chikitsa. It was one of four clans known as the clans of the Sword. As the name implied, It was a clan that merged spirit energy with the way of the sword.

The Chikitsa clan was not just a sword clan but the head of all sword clans. This was a result of a second ability that the clan had been able to cultivate for hundreds of years.

This ability was simply medicine. The Chikitsa clan sat at the foot of a dormant volcano that served as a very rich source for producing medicinal herbs. This was the true source of their wealth.

But even with their expertise in medicine, their knowledge of the Tamashi was relegated to just being used as a shield.

Chiron took another look at the Fate change system. Amongst his stats, there was a column that read 'Spirit Energy: ???'

He knew that this was a result of the highly unquantifiable spirit energy he possessed. Yet, with such a level of spirit energy, he was useless. He could not use it. He was not strong enough to use it and an attempt to try would ensure that he burst like a balloon.

The column for Spirit energy also had in bracket: unusable.

Chiron reached for the back of his neck. Just like the MC in his book, he could feel a paper seal there. This seal helped to prevent usage or at least attempt it. This was administered as a result of past events that have proven to be fatal.

Just to be sure, he tried to peel it off a little.

*SHOCK* f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

"AHHH!!!" he fell to the ground. A massive bolt of electricity from the seal had sent him to the ground. Chiron panted heavily, "Okay! that will not work."

Even if he managed to bare the volts that were being sent into his body, there was no way for him to control it. This was what he needed. A way to control it. A way to harness this abundance of power that had been presented on his laps. Because at the moment, it was like setting a buffet before a homeless man and saying that without a set of cutleries, he could not partake of the meal.

That was pure torture. Chiron remained laid on the floor, his mind searching for information from the book that could help him overcome his current predicament.

For hours, he laid in this position, calculating and canceling the ideas one after another as they rose. Frustration was soon starting to set in. Just then, his eyes settled on the types of energy he had written out.

A better idea suddenly came to him.

"Nobody said I must compulsorily cultivate spirit energy, right?" he smiled to himself. Looking once more at the list of energies, he calculated the best fit for himself.

Spirit energy was now out of the question. Therefore, his options were Devil energy, Demon energy, Elemental energy, Aura, and Mana or Magic energy.

This was not as easy an option as it seemed. Firstly, each of these energies had conditions for their usage. And in a remote continent like the one he was in, using the wrong one could spell trouble in the future.

An example would be trying to use Demon energy or Devil energy. These kinds of energies were not even easy to acquire in the first place. The Demon continent was just too far away and that of the devil's was entirely a different realm.

There was also the option of just summoning a Devil or Demon and acquiring these energies, but although he had the knowledge for doing it, he lacked the ability to control such beasts. Worse, he would be requiring some specific sacrifices-at least a hundred human heads.

Of course, he really did not mind. At this point, even if he had to produce a thousand human heads and he had the means, he would do it without turning back.

However, If the clan found out, he would definitely be a goner.

Devil and Demon energy were now out of the question. it was time to look into other sources of power.
