17 Finally (1/2)

After Mark has finished communicating to the System, Mark was about to go and tell Jack all the news but was interrupted this time by Kurama.

<Hey Mark, may I ask what that thing is? I got a bad feeling suddenly, that my peace and tranquility will be no more after you will purchase that thing.>

'Now that's something that you don't see often. Kurama, besides trying to get out of my body, control it or asking me about things from different worlds like that space ship, you never talk to me if I don't take the initiative. I had almost forgot that you are inside me to be honest.'

<ANSWARE ME! I don't talk with my hosts if there is nothing important, but since the moment your friend talked about that thing called 'venom', I keep having this feeling of dread, and after listening what you talked with the System, the filling got more and more powerful.>

Yes, it is true, the two are rarely talking. But after he regained his freedom from the seal, he tried multiple times to at least leak his chakra outside Mark's body, and even take control over him in multiple times. He did discover on the other hand, that he had a chance when Mark tried to control his Great Ape transformation, but he couldn't fight the berserk elements inside his bloodline.

'To be honest, Venom is an individual symbiote. A symbiote on the other hand, is the product of a primordial creature. In a way, they are like Black Zetsu, as they basically can attach to a host and work with them, and they also have their own will. On the other hand, they are weak by themselves and they may die if they don't attach themselves by a host for a long period of time. They are not typically smart creatures, as their Progenitor has created them with the soul purpose of destruction, but if tamed, can become great companions. As for Venom, he is known to accept human cooperation and is quite strong, as originally it grants a multiply in strength, speed, reflexes, defense and dexterity by five if I remember correctly. Unfortunately, I am not sure if it can help me out or not, as that multiplayer was for when a person posses a mortal body, not one of a cultivator like myself. On the other hand, it needs to synchronize with a body to bring out it's full potential.'

<So basically, it will be another pet of yours?>

'You can name it so, but it will share the same space as you. On the other hand, I can use it, while you are only taking that space for granted without not being able to give anything in return.'

After that comment, Kurama has stopped talking as he is indeed freeloading that space inside Mark's body, but it's not his fault for having a host with a strange constitution.

On the other hand, Mark having nothing to do, got up from his sitting position and went to the still meditating friend, that stopped meditating as soon as Mark got near him.

”So, how was it? Is the trial hard, or what?”

”Apparently, the System is recognizing Venom as the individual symbiote that is powerless by himself, so I can get it for free. On the other hand, we don't need to worry about its weaknesses to fire and sound, as the System has perfected the symbiote to the point where it become a monster that can cultivate if allowed.” Responded Mark.

”Really, it is really possible to have him? Wait a second; Mark, can you link me to the System, so I can talk with him?”

”Just a sec!” 'Hey System, can you talk with him directly?'

[Yes and no, Host. I can send him my voice, but he will have to answer out laud as his soul is not strong enough to communicate with me directly.]

'Then make the connection and wait after he asks you then.'

”Apparently, it can send you his responses, but you can't answer it in your head, and you will need to speak the answer it seams.” Reported Mark.

”Okay, fine; System, I do have a question regarding my new body”

[What would the question be?]

”If I ask you to make a body just like Mark's, then will I have to face any consequences?”
