3 Coincidences (1/2)
”What did you just say Gurasu”, said Glen who believed he heard the wrong thing.
”Yes, I want to kill criminals”, said Gurasu with a firm voice.
”Why would you want to kill criminals”, said Elizabeth who was surprised as well of what Gurasu said.
”Mom... Dad… I want to practice killing people and kill criminals will help me my will stronger and not be afraid to kill people in the future”, said Gurasu in a serious voice.
” Well son, your not wrong because this is a world where the strong eats the weak”, said Glen as he thought of his past where he killed to survive.
” Yeah, your father is right Gurasu… Look at us, if we were not rank 4 wizards, the 3 clan leaders would have killed us to take the rule of the kingdom”, said Elizabeth as she remembered how ruthless people are in this world. The 3 strongest clans in the Chlos Kingdom is Nat clan, Beni clan, and Xing clan. The clan leaders of these clan are rank 3 wizards.
”Ok son, we will let you kill criminals but it will be once every week because we don't want you to become emotionless by killing all these criminals”, said Glen as he thought how killing people will affect a 5-year mind.
”Thanks, Dad and don't worry, I won't become emotionless but I will not be afraid to kill”, said Gurasu as he smiled as his planned work. When he kills the criminals, he will use the devour ability on them and transfer the power from the body to his. Also, he was not lying when he said he wanted to practice killing people.
He never killed people before because he was a normal highschooler on Earth. He knew that in this world he had to kill people to survive and he can't be a coward. This was a perfect plan that will benefit him a lot.
After the discussion between Gurasu and his parents, they took Gurasu to the Prison headquarters. There were a lot of guards who were a peak-level knight and even rank 1 and 2 wizards were there. When the guards saw the royal family, they were very surprised, and immediately bowed down before them.
”Call the Prison Chief”, said Glen to the guards. The moment Glen said that a burly man suddenly appeared in front of Glen. The burly man was bald and looked like a bodybuilder. However, the aura around him screamed a powerful rank 3 wizard.
”My king, you called me”, said the burly man, whose name was Andrew.
” I did Andrew and I want you to get a random criminal whose power is restrained”, said Glen as he looked in the eye of Andrew. After Glen said that, Andrew immediately left to get a random criminal without even questioning the reason behind it. It showed how much trust and loyal he was to King Glen.
After 5 minutes, Gurasu and his parents were in a cell with a criminal who had his body restrained to the fullest.
”Mom... Dad... Can you leave alone with this criminal”, said Gurasu.
”Why”, said Elizabeth as she wondered why her son wanted to be alone with this sinner man.
”Well, I want to be alone and don't want to feel the safe environment you are giving me by being by my side…. I want to imagine myself I am alone without anybody protecting me and feel the need to kill this person to survive”, said Gurasu seriously.
Gurasu was just bullshitting this because he was being cautious and doesn't want his parents to know what he was doing to the prisoner. He was being extra cautious to make sure nobody realizes he has this Devour ability. Therefore, he just bullshitted and made a random ass reason why he wants to be alone with the criminal.
” I see Gurasu… Well, you do have a creative mind… Taking this very seriously”, said Glen as he tried to hold himself laughing at his son's reason.
”Stop bullying Gurasu… Son we will let you be alone...But if you need help, just yell out HELP as the safe word and we will immediately come to you”, said Elizabeth as she glared at Glen who regretted he said that. After Elizabeth said that, they left the cell leaving Gurasu alone with the prisoner.
Gurasu looked at the criminal and took out a knife. The criminal had his eye covered and his mouth taped so he won't speak. Gurasu immediately stabbed the prisoner and the moment he stabbed the prisoner, he activated his Devour Ability on the prisoner. Then he repeatedly stabbed the prisoner.
Stab!!!
Stab!!!
Stab!!!
Stab!!!!
Stab!!
Elizabeth and Glen who were not that far away from Gurasu saw what their son was doing using their magical powers. Which parent would leave their child alone with a criminal so they secretly watched their son in case anything happened? They only saw him stabbing the prisoner
”Dang my son, he is repeatedly stabbing him … haaaa”, said Glen as he laughed at his son's action.
” This is not funny dear…..ok it's a little funny….But stop laughing at him”, said Elizabeth who saw their son stopped stabbing the man and was now looking at his hands covered with the man's blood.
”The first kill is always the hardest for most people”, said Glen as they saw their son crying now. Elizabeth nodded as well at her husband's response.
However, what they did not know was that Gurasu was not crying because of killing the man but the pure joy of feeling the power up after he absorbed the man's power from his body. 'Yes, now I don't have to go back to killing insects or plants… This is amazing...This power up I felt after I absorbed from his body is awesome', thought Gurasu as he looked at the man's dead body. Then Gurasu looked at his stats.
Name: Gurasu Chlos
Race: Human
Rank: Beginner Knight
Strength: 1.4
Vitality: 1.4
Agility: 1.4
Spirit: 0
Ability: Devour
Gurasu saw that his strength increased by 0.3, vitality by 0.2, and agility by 0.3. Gurasu was surprised that his stats increased that much. He felt excited and couldn't wait to kill these criminals again.
3 years later
In the practice grounds of the royal palace, a young boy is fighting multiple men. The boy was very handsome with golden eyes and very long, purple hair tied in a ponytail. This was Gurasu who was fighting equally against the multiple peak-level knights. After constantly absorbing power from the criminals and training his body, he eventually became a peak-level knight.
Gurasu was dodging the knights' attacks constantly and was hitting them whenever he got the chance. Eventually, he knocked them out.
”Prince Gurasu, you're too strong and we can't handle you anymore”, said one of the knights. The knight was right because of Gurasu constantly absorbing power from the criminals, he passed the peak-level knight strength level.
”Ok guys, thanks for the spar”, said Gurasu as he wiped the sweat from his head with his hand. Then Gurasu started to leave so he could go get some food and went back to his room with a plate of cooked chicken.
In Gurasu's luxury room, he sat on his bed and was looking at his stats while eating the chicken.
Name: Gurasu Chlos
Race: Human
Rank: Peak-level Knight
Strength: 20
Vitality: 20
Agility: 20
Spirit: 0
Ability: Devour
As he looked at his stats, he became very proud. Over the three years, he realized that an adult man has an average stats of 1 and a peak- level knight has average stats of 18. Because he luckily managed to absorb from peak-level knight criminals quite a lot of times and the nutrients food that his parents gave, he managed to overcome the 18 stats and go to 20.
However, no matter how many times he absorbs from other criminals, it only increases his stats by little to none. Gurasu realized he needed to absorb from more people who are much stronger than a peak-knight level to overcome his limit. However, his parents realized that he doesn't need to kill criminals anymore so they stopped him from going there. Also, when Gurasu asked his parents about wizards prisoners, they told him after they capture these kinds of prisoners, they are used as experiment materials. Furthermore, if he asked his parents about killing a wizard prisoner, they will get suspicious and think why does he need to practice to kill any more people when he doesn't even blink when he kills people.
Therefore, Gurasu has to find another way to improve his states without being suspicious.
Either way, Gurasu found out that he looks like Sinbad from the anime Magi. Yes, he did watch anime in his life and was a big fan of it. He became happy when he realized this fact because he is going to become a lady killer in the future.
'Let us see, what do I do now… I can't become strong anymore without becoming a wizard and I have to wait until I become 12 to become one', thought Gurasu as he sighed.
' I should relax now at… I did constantly train and worrying about it won't make me stronger' thought Gurasu as he ate his last chicken.
'Let's go explore the capital city of Chlos Kingdom…. I was always cooped up in the palace', thought Gurasu as he went to the throne hall room.
In the throne hall room, Elizabeth and Glen were sitting on the thrones while discussing something. They stopped talking when they saw their son.
”What do you need Gurasu,” said Glen, smiling as he felt proud that he was the father of Gurasu.
”Father, can I go explore the capital city and I am just too bored being in the palace all the time”, said Gurasu sighing.
”Ok son but be careful”, said Glen.
”Ok, Dad...Bye Mom and Dad”, said Gurasu as he left the throne hall room.
”Gurasu has his bodyguard with him right Dear?”, said Elizabeth worrying about her son's safety as any caring mother would do.
”Don't worry Eliz, there are two ranks 2 wizards constantly watching over him and the moment he is in danger, the ring we gave him to wear will tell us immediately”, said Glen as he comforted his wife.
”Thanks, dear, but don't you feel amazed that our son who is 8 years old is a peak-level knight”, said Elizabeth as she felt very proud of her son's achievements.
”I do as well Eliz, and I am happy that Gurasu is a hard worker which made him achieve this achievement…. Plus he does not have the arrogant young prince personality”, said Glen, smiling.
”Yeah, your right…..But when should we announce Gurasu as the Crown Prince of the Chlos Kingdom”, said Elizabeth.
They wanted to announce Gurasu as the Crown Prince because he is already worthy of it. Also, they don't know if they will have a child or not again. Higher the rank of a wizard, the lower the chance of being able to give birth to a baby or impregnating someone. They were already lucky to have Gurasu and don't know they will be lucky again.
”We will do that when he becomes 10 years old”, said Glen.
Tsunade POV
Hello, my name is Tsunade Xing. I am the granddaughter of the Xing Clan Leader. Because of this position, I was given many things. Nobody bullied me and always showed respect to me. It made me feel like I was a princess but I wasn't. I eventually got bored of the praises given to me because I am an intermediate level knight when my age is just 8 years old. However, I wasn't proud of this fact because I knew the real genius is the prince of the Chlos Kingdom. At the age of 8 years old, he is a peak-level knight.
You don't see something like this anywhere else and when I found about this, I was shocked. I always wanted to meet him because I wanted to ask this question: why do you work so hard. I had this question when I was at the royal palace and I saw him training. He was fighting multiple men ranging from advanced to the peak-level knights. He was not losing the battle at all. After the battle, he would do countless push ups and other ranges of exercises. He had a lot of determination to do this when he was not even 10 or older.
