92 Origin II (1/2)
Benjamin said ”The mission was simple, there were two guilds of Sheep at war, and my mission was to kill both teams. Your grandmother was with me. The world we were in was pretty weak, compared to our power levels, so we used one of the local kingdoms to rest. Your grandmother, being the beauty she is… Oh right, our appearances are fake by the way, we use them to integrate into society.”
As he said that, he suddenly transformed. The once old man turned into a handsome middle aged man with a strong body, and shoulder length blond hair tied in a ponytail. He looked younger than Dorian's own father.
Then, Benjamin returned to his old appearance and said ”Anyway, your grandmother is really beautiful, and we hid in that king's palace because the two guilds were in said kingdom, so it was the best place to gather information. And that damn king actually tried to drug Pauline to take advantage of her.”
Instinctively, Dorian felt some hate build up, and some of his killing intent was released from the tree. Now that he learned about his grandparents, Dorian felt a never before felt link with them, he felt much closer to them than in the past.
Benjamin laughed and said ”Yeah, I had pretty much the same reaction as you back then. A little more sinister maybe. I didn't kill him directly. Instead, I fought all the Sheep in the Capital, destroying as much as I could. In the end, all the Sheep were wiped out, along with the entire Capital.”
Dorian raised both eyebrows and said ”Then I think I inherited more from you than I thought.” Benjamin smiled and said ”What's your story then?”
Dorian said ”Well, taking Earth time, my first mission was last night, and I only did one so far. I was put in a fantasy world filled with legendary beasts and living gods. Of course, my mission was simpler, I had to survive for a month in there.”
Benjamin nodded ”That's a pretty common mission. But you are telling me you grew this strong with only one mission?” Dorian smiled and said ”I won't spoil the story either.”
Benjamin was stunned before he began laughing. Dorian smiled and said ”So, I was dropped in what was called the Dark City, which turned out to be a city on top of a mountain, above the clouds. You know, when I saw the system for the first time, I immediately assimilated it to a video game. So, I acted like would in a video game if I wanted to become strong. I wasn't satisfied with just completing my mission, I wanted to do it perfectly.”
Benjamin nodded ”That's the mindset of the strong. Only those who think like that ever achieve something. Dorian nodded and continued ”In that city, there were two powers in place, and one was a gang. So I hunted down the weaker members while the stronger ones were away. I gradually became stronger until I met the truly stronger one. That's when I met with a problem, the difference in strength between the strongest and the second strongest was too big for me to just face off against the strongest.”
Benjamin asked ”What did you do then?” Dorian replied ”Simple. I was lucky to be honest. One day, I found the daughter of one of those strongest, and she was pretty riled up against her father already. All I had to do was rile her up a little and I was able to turn her against her dad. Then, using an ability of mine I turned her into a kamikaze, without her knowledge. In the end, both her and her father exploded into pieces. Unfortunately, my mind wasn't strong enough back then, and I lost an opportunity to get stronger. Fortunately it didn't matter in the end.”
