Origin Of Evil - 92 Origin II
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.”
Benjamin said “I do recognize myself in you.” Dorian smiled and said “After doing what I did, I was disgusted by my powers, and tried to live a normal life. That allowed me to find out two beings of another race, which became my friends and taught me the Mind Arts. I also met a family of spirits, and that’s where it becomes interesting.”
Benjamin was all ears, so Dorian said “In the world I was in, the spirits were either free, or under the control of a demon. Those were under a demon. So when I broke their contract and took them for myself, I summoned the demon. I killed it, and it dropped its heart. I consumed it because its descriptions only said that I would get 5 points to my Vitality and maybe a skill. But then, I made a strange discovery. The bloodline contained in the heart interacted with my own bloodline, which I was unaware of, and they began fighting, using my body as their battleground.”
Benjamin frowned “That’s something very dangerous!” Dorian nodded and said “I realized that if I just allowed them to continue I would die, so I forced a reaction. I jumped into a strange organism known as ‘Heart of the Mountain’, which was much more powerful than me, and the bloodlines. Then, I did some experimenting. I discovered those bloodlines were nothing more than energies, and so I treated them as such. In the end, I was able to devour the other energies with my bloodline, and that allowed me to awaken my angel bloodline. Although, right now it is of a low class and density.”
Benjamin nodded and said “It is always so in the beginning. Do you know how to strengthen it?” Dorian replied “Pretty much?” Benjamin said “For the density, I had to use special objects made for this purpose, so it is difficult. As for the quality, it is much more simple, you only need to absorb a stronger bloodline. Or in some rare cases you can find a special art that allows you to strengthen it over time, but those are rare, I don’t even have one myself…”
Dorian said “I think I have one. In that world there was a special energy called Life Essence. And angels have their very own type of Life Essence, as well as their special manual. Using it on a long period of time allows me to strengthen my Life Essence, but also to evolve my bloodline.”
Benjamin opened his eyes wide and said “You really do?! You really are amazing! Tell me, how did you get it?”
Dorian smiled and said “I was a bit lucky once again. After awakening my bloodline, a fight took place among the different leaders of the forces of the city I was in, over an artifact. Unfortunately for them, I was much stronger and killed almost everyone, got Tibo over there, and the artifact. That artifact was the real deal as it was a Silver Rank Divine type item that allowed me to summon the spirit of a god for one wish. I was a bit skeptical about him being a god, but he turned out to really be one. For my wish, I asked him to give me this manual.”
Benjamin grinned and said “That wasn’t luck, it was you acing your beginner world. What happened next?” Dorian replied “My main mission was finished, all the ones who could threaten me were dead, so I started Exploration mode. Unfortunately, I barely got to visit anything before I was ejected out of that world?”
Benjamin asked “Ejected?” Dorian nodded “Yeah, apparently I offended the gods of that world and they tried to kill me using a seal, but the system interrupted them and sent me out of that world. On the way out, the god had I summoned the spirit of tried to kill me I think, but was killed by the system.”
Benjamin slapped his thigh and said “Fighting gods in your first world, even though they were probably false gods, it’s still very impressive.”
Dorian smiled, although he didn’t understand the part about false gods, he probably couldn’t answer his questions so he said “And its not finished. My return to Dreamland, Eden… it was even crazier.”
