After what happened, I never really thought I would just die because I used up my last mana to teleport at least somewhere safer from the explosion. Seeing it from far away made me wonder—was I the one who caused it at the well? Whatever. I'm never pulling off such an attack again. Even if I wanted to, I can't.
Well, then I ended up in a land filled with bones, skulls, and dead creatures scattered around. I think I wasn't able to move from that place—not to mention, I'm still on demon land. While I was struggling, a robot armor—about five of them—floated around me in the sky and automatically began sending attacks. I was trying to run, but all I was doing was pushing myself to move.
Then, just when I thought I was dead, underground serpent demons appeared and defended me. There was only one at first, but it eventually used something called "budding," and here they are, defending me. The type of serpent protecting me is one with no eyes. They carried me in, and I started doubting if I was even alive.
But it all makes sense. I used up all my mana, which caused mana break—meaning I can't use my mana anymore. But that only worsens on the positive side. Of course, there is a way to cure it, because mana is mana. The problem is the cells over my body that replenish used-up mana. So yeah, but what matters now is that I have negative mana—mana that only demons and certain creatures can use. This definitely means the serpents don't know I'm human with demon mana, and that's why they're saving me.
Surprisingly enough, this desert has over a thousand demons, and almost all of them are underground demons. Underground demons with eyes are rare, which means I can at least last a while. But what about hearing and smelling? Well, mana is replenished and reused by all the cells in my body, which means the type of mana I use affects my scent. For the hearing part, it doesn't matter as long as I'm good at controlling my heartbeat.
Well, thanks serpent for saving me. I'm gonna stay here for a while. Wait—where the heck did this serpent bring me? It brought me underground. Let's see what's in there.
One of the last survivors said it must have been thrown from the underground well. I went in and saw a circle thing—it has eyes and is purple. Wait, it's a slime! But the moment I touched it, it shocked the hell out of me. If it wasn't for my human side, I would have definitely died.
The place is actually the most terrifying place ever. There are bones and scary things written all over the place—I can't read them. Whatever.
This says it's a Vanguard Slime One—one of the best slimes ever. It's said to have the best skills as well, but I can't use it. To open this, I must get something—no, someone called the Slime King of my generation.
Then after that, I saw a small notebook with something written on it. It explains about slimes and how to tame them naturally. I can't use mana to tame them—the positive tames, the negative resurrects.
Well, let's read. Slimes are naturally considered demons. They may not look like it, but if well-trained, they might come close to equal footing with even a dragon. They have strong skills, and these skills are mostly used by slimes.
I wrote it down here: Slimes can copy any person—from personality to voice and even thinking—to the point where they might kill the original. What they need in order to do that is blood.
Also, slimes can't be killed by poison because it doesn't work on them, but some slimes can create poison.
Then again, slimes are rare to find in this area. I have to go where they are if I want one.
After a while of reading the book, I found some mechanisms that could help me with something I really wanted to do.
Days passed, and I began eating some boar demons and surviving the harsh reality of this world.
Then, as days passed, I wanted to try and make a plan for my future.
So, slimes are considered slimes. When a slime has a light blue color, they are normal. When they have a dark blue color, they can use cursed poison. If they are red, they can explode with cursed flames. And so on. The only one with a white color is infact the strongest.
Why? Because just as his color, it can reflect all of the slime's abilities.
But here is the best part—
The best part is that it can divide itself into slimes that have only one ability.
It has—like—he can use red slime abilities, so it will have a red fraction of it… and blue.
That's how it continued.
And since I can use demon mana, I will be able to pull it off.
But let's be real—
First thing is that I can use positive mana and negative, so I got to fraction.
Second is that I can use aura, farming, and blood as vampire.
Now, the positive fragment of me will be powerless—a complete human.
So he must work his ass off and show how hard work can beat it all.
Not to mention that I want it to experiment a lot of things.
So I'm putting my all effort into him.
And the negative mana user will go to the demon world and discover a lot about it.
And the blood user will go to the vampire land in hopes of creating or getting something to reinforce our blood with, so that we can cure the mana we can't use anymore.
And the aura user must become a hunter.
We need some solo experience against monsters and get a level up.
Well then—for all fans—this is a new beginning.
Four upcoming journeys of me, at the same time.
Until I unify again, I won't be back.
But I hope you all make it up with plural me.
Wait—
The powerless will have to go to the Werde (Arabic) Kingdom.
It's close to us.
And let me give us all a name:
Demon me: You will be Alpha
The vampire me: Will be Beta
The human me: Will be Delta
The hunter me: Will be... not Gamma, bro. No.
It will be Sigma, so he better act like a Sigma.
Damn, he will be Sigma.
They will be free to create a decoy name if they want, but it's all okay.
So now let's use it.
First thing is get all 3 activated:
Let me cut my skin and take some blood and control the blood.
Second: activate aura. Think about the pressure, not the cause.
Then the demonic power. Let's just let our mana out—it's all negative.
And finally, my strength.
In terms of my positive mana—budding division 4 came at once.
Alpha: "Feels kinda great and light, damn."
Beta: "Well, I only feel so damn addicted to blood suddenly."
Sigma: "I feel my body is on fire!"
Delta: "Well then, you guys can take me to the city, can't you?"
Alpha: "No, wait. Me and Beta will be here."
Sigma will carry you to the city.
Use your Flash Dash Technique to get there.
Speed it up, 'cause his scent kinda grows and tastes…
Delta: "What the—? Come on, me! You planning to eat me I'm I that tasty"
Well, let's keep in touch.
Good thing we can talk in our head as when we want it.
Well, let's separate directions.
Goodbye, all.
Delta:
"This will be the best year I've ever had."
Now the me, Delta, I don't have magic or aura.
Considered a human.
But still, I have to give it all what I got.
Good strategy and strength is all I need to beat my enemy.
Delta:
"I take back that—damn, damn—what are you doing Sigma?
Come on, help—damn it, HELP!"
After a while, we both got out.
We were fighting some demons.
Well, there is no way I can even knock a chicken right now.
What I need is good practice, and a weapon—plus some cool tech.
Well then—
Here we are: Werde, the city full of beauty.
Here I'm gonna make my dreams come true.
All money will flow like hell—
Delta:
"I take that back again.
I end up being captured, and here I am as a slave.
What a shame.
Sigma already left.
Damn, he didn't even help me in the city—he just left.
Sometimes even my own self annoys me."
Well, getting to be a slave is not a bad thing.
Forced to do manual labor—
And so I can get crazy strong.
That's the mentality I need.
Well, this is me—the 3rd me, Delta.
That's it guys… I'm dead…And now,
Wait...
Well, let me think everything for a while.
Everyone must think I'm dead by now—
Because I'm not.
And not to mention that I have already been attacked by five robots.
They probably thought I'm dead as well—
Because the serpents were able to use their underground skill to cover and take me.
No matter how much they use their detection skill,
I was negative, so they won't spot me—
Unless they catch my human shape.
So, they obviously think I'm dead.
But do they know who I am?
Thinking I'm dead and attacking me doesn't add up.
The guards who ran out and saved themselves—
Yes, they thought I was one of them.
And they annihilated them to keep it secret.
That makes sense.
Well, the conclusion is that I'm still considered dead.
And as for the others—
They have found the best man ever.
They will be sent to their original country and begin training.
They will even have a blanket for their coming—
Because they are said to be the reincarnation of the 8.
Another thing is—
Why do they have to do such a thing to us?
As if they know they are the 8 successors?
It's because they must have no respect and care for it.
That only means they could have been thinking about it before we arrived.
At any rate, there is no one to believe,
Nor to blame.
What I can do is believe in myself,
And blame myself.
Here we are—
The first buyer came.
He sounds like a general.
He was seeing everyone's eyes until he saw mine and said,
"I want him."
Then he saw another kid's eye and said he wanted him.
I get why he is doing that,
But that doesn't make it a good choice for a slave.
In this kingdom:
Dark brown,
Light brown,
And rare ones have gray eyes,
Which naturally means that he wants someone who is not from this country.
Either he wants to take us for something and let us fail because we don't know about it,
Or we are just being scammed.
When it comes to money,
Someone who already knows this place will ask questions—
And even stop obeying sometimes.
But someone who doesn't know anything about this place,
And considering they left their kingdom for a reason (which probably means a harsh one),
They will choose any mission over their life.
As a means of:
"I'm never returning."
Cute, right?
He was acting aggressive and playing strong.
He put us inside a carriage and closed it.
The kid beside me was really standing out.
I think he's from the Avaguard. Kingdom
He sounds like one—
He didn't flinch or move at all.
As his hands were tied,
He just looked down and sat.
The way he sat was so terrible.
He sat closing his legs and compressing his back so hard.
And damn—he's my age.
I told him,
"Sit like a man. Why are you hiding your balls, bruh?"
He raised his head and saw me,
Then saw his legs and saw mine wide open.
So he did the same.
Then I said,
"Don't bend your back. Straighten it.
Sit like a man.
Whether you're weak or strong,
Confidence is needed.
You have to have some confidence."
Then he really snapped out of it and said,
"Thank you."
He was so quiet—
He reminded me of my old days.
He didn't even look me in the eye.
Then I low-key locked in and said,
"Look at me.
Look at my face.
Look at my eye.
What are you afraid of?"
He said,
"I'm not comfortable doing it."
Then I interrupted him and said,
"You should know, bro—
You're going to work,
And we don't know what that work is.
It's a pain in the butt to see that you're a slave
And yet complain about not being comfy enough."
Then he said,
"I'm not a slave. I'm a royal, you hear me?
It's all thanks to mom. I'm a royal.
You don't know a single thing about me!"
Then I said,
"Maybe you are…
But act like it when you're in the right place.
Okay? In your palace, bro.
Listen…
If I killed you now,
Do you hardly think anyone will avenge you?"
He looked down and said,
"I get it… sorry."
Then I said to him,
"If you have any weak talk like that,
Get it out of your head.
We are all equal at birth,
You hear me?"
Then he said,
"Thanks."
To be honest,
I got so much info about him:
He loves his mom.
He was a genius—at least, not good at sports.
And he is a royal.
I guess this is going into a betrayal story…
And I guess his mom is dead.
Well… good luck, I said to him.
And he said,
"To you too."
Then we both chilled.
And he said,
"Where are you from?"
Then I said,
"From an orphanage.
They held me a lot that I couldn't really make a living for myself.
That I ran out.
"What about you?"
He said he is from Avangard—I was right.
He said he was in the middle of the city, in a very fancy life that felt like hell.
Then I replied,
"Listen, I just hope you're a good person.
And I hope we end up at the same mansion and work together.
We might be broos from hell.
At least make a fresh new start."
He kinda lighted up and said,
"Yeah, you're right."
This kid is smart.
If I asked about his life, and when he said "in middle of the city, royal, and fancy life"
—and even other things like hell—
He might have taken some measurements.
Though I don't know what it is,
But I don't think I'm right.
Still, I think he doesn't care about his life anymore.
What a shame, bro.
If it turns out right,
My new royal dog servant is getting re
ady—
I'm gonna cook Avangard.
