Chapter 18: Overlord (1/2)

After Amon got home, he went to take a shower.

Stepping out of the shower and putting on casual shorts and a long-sleeved T-shirt, he walked through the living room then went to the kitchen to get water.

”How was the training?” Leaning against the kitchen door, Julia asked as she gave a small smile. She was in casual clothes, a white halter top and short denim shorts with her dark purple hair down, cascading around her back. She wore house slippers and propped her right foot on the door.

”Mm, well.” Amon looked at her waiting for her to get out of the way as he responded with an indifferent expression.

Moving out of the way she muttered, ”If only we had more animal meat level 20 or even higher...”

Amon stopped and looked at her. He remembered the training in the mountains and the amount of pain from taking out the impurity and the reason for doing it was the rune: [Heart Without Limits].

”Eating too much meat is not good,” Amon said without changing his expression.

”Why would it not be? That way we can unlock the white genetics faster and it will be easier to fill them.” Julia said as she waited for Amon to get her point of view.

”Mm, wait.” Amon went into the kitchen. He found an empty bottle and grabbed a bag of rice and then a bag of beans.

After he stood in front of the dinner table, he placed rice on one side and beans on the other.

Meanwhile, Maísa also arrived in the kitchen when she saw that Julia was taking a long time.

She wore a loose-fitting T-shirt but it looked incredibly cute on her, with her dark purple hair pulled back in a high ponytail and short silk shorts.

She looked curious at what Amon was doing in the same way Julia was doing, and even more confused.

”That's the genetic amount each person can fill. This empty bottle represents the human body.” Amon said with a neutral expression: ”Now I train and unlock +1 gene. This will enter the empty bottle.”

He put some rice into the bottle.

”But if it's raised with meat, it's going to force the genetics to unblock and push it with the genetics of the meat and the dirt in it too.” Amon said nonchalantly as he added some rice and a bean: ”The bean represents genetics that was wasted, now it is full of dirt and cannot be filled with anything else nor be used as part of its strength. Naturally, you will lose 1 gene. Now, I continue to eat the meat and it continues to put in genes that could be empty, but are dirty instead.”

Gradually the bottle became white and black, some white, but more black. That's because dirt is easier to get into the gene and then into the 'bottle' and is usually at the bottom of the bottle, so it's difficult to get the dirt out.

”... So that's it, why even the rich aren't that strong?” Julia seems to have understood.

”Yes, as much as meat helps, it will bring more disadvantages than advantages in the long run. That's what I realized.” Amon spoke much more than usual, although he still remained indifferent when he spoke, they listened even more attentively than the classes they had at school: ”Now, to be able to get rid of this accumulated dirt after a long time, it will be very difficult, many of them stay at the bottom.”
