Rebirth In Super Gene - Chapter 4

A young man could be seen stepping out of one of the many rooms within the Steel Armor Shelter. The young man had a very lean muscular build. He had short black hair with light grey eyes, giving him a somewhat handsome appearance.

He wore tight-fitting clothes and sported a Uwa-obi on his waist. It held a sheathed katana and wakizashi firmly against his waist. Thus, making it to where blades wouldn’t slip and fall to the ground.

If he were back on earth, he would’ve looked like a weeb larping through the streets. But in the sanctuary is was something normal. While many people had beast souls, some could afford physical metal weapons capable of cutting sacred-blood creatures.

He was walking on the main path that ran through most of the shelter, asking around about the different hunting grounds near the shelter. This man was naturally Han Sen, who had just turned 16 today, making it possible for him to enter the shelter.

It was almost noon when he had left as he celebrated lightly with his family the entire morning and left after to the train station. He arrived at the teleportation station, stood in line for his turn, and walked through the portal to appear in a scarcely furnished room. Having only a bed, covered with a thin sheet in the corner, and a table situated in another corner of the room.

He usually would want to explore around the shelter some more, but since he had Universal detect, he could see everything around him for about 5 kilometers. Its range grew the stronger he got. He had been wondering how wide it would be by the time he left the First Sanctuary but put that thought aside for now as he had a goal.

Another thing that made him hesitate was seeing a giant white wolf unicorn standing outside the rampart. So naturally, he wanted to avoid being anywhere near that. However, he wouldn’t allow that situation to repeat itself as it would only attract unnecessary trouble.

And most importantly, Han sen wanted to test how strong he was. So he decided the best way to test that was to go to the most dangerous place he could think of, the Jade Dragon Mountains. The Jade Dragon Mountains was a place where creatures of all ranks roamed. Be it ordinary, primitive, mutant, sacred-blood, or super creature, they were all present within that area.

He had been asking around for a little while but was eventually able to get the general direction of the Mountains quickly due to the danger around it. After he got a reasonable distance between him in the shelter, he decided to speed things up.

He kicked off the ground and began disappearing and reappearing in the air above the trees. He used shunpo continuously, shortening the trip that would typically be hours to a little less than one hour. He soon saw large mountains appear over the horizon.

As he began jabbing his fingers in the air, multiple black spiked air bullets flew in different directions. Each boring holes straight through the heads of creatures they hit. A second later, he heard a multitude of messages be spoken in his head.

“Ordinary Woodland Gecko killed. No beast soul gained. Eat its meat to gain zero to ten ordinary geno points randomly.”

“Primitive creature copper-toothed beast killed. Primitive beast soul of copper-toothed beast gained. Eat the flesh of copper-toothed beast to gain zero to ten primitive geno points randomly.”

“Primitive scaled python killed. No beast soul gained. Eat its meat to gain zero to ten primitive geno points randomly.”

“Primitive …”

It took a few seconds for the monotone voice to finish speaking. After hearing the voice stop, Han Sen began to collect the dead bodies.

He put his right hand in the air and activated his skill. Tendrils of black miasma came from his hand a formed a sphere above him before the sphere began emitting a powerful suction pulling all the dead bodies and a few other miscellaneous things into his stomach.

—————

It had been a little while later, and he had finally found something he could test himself against. A sacred-blooded creature he identified as a bear that seemed like it had mated with a saber-tooth tiger. It was about the size of a suburban, with brown hair covering most of its body. Tusk jutted from its lower jaw. To top it off, it had a bear skeleton over its body.

Han Sen saw this as an excellent target to test his strength. Mainly since he hadn’t found another sacred-blood creature, so he had no other options to choose from. Now approaching it leisurely, Han Sen began to think of ways to rile up the bear, hoping to capture its full attention.

An inky black air bullet got the creatures’ attention as it pierced one of its ears that poked outside its exoskeleton. Unfortunately for the bear, the shot went all the way through its ear, causing immense pain, instantly enraging the beast, who immediately began looking around for its ȧssailant.

Han Sen had already fully exposed himself to the bear, making it lock on to him with its killing intent fully bearing down on him. However, its killing intent was brushed off like dandelions in the wind, as it did nothing to Han Sen.

The bear began to size Han Sen up and down with a hateful glare. An intelligent gleam could be seen in its eye as it tried to ȧssess his threat level. It felt whatever the thing in front of it used to piece its ear wouldn’t be able to penetrate other parts of its body due to its ear being one of its weakest points.

So it decided to use the thing that let it live so long, overwhelming force. It had crushed everything it fought since it had been conscious. It was lucky enough to avoid the super creatures that roamed through mountains successfully. Always immediately fleeing to someone safer. It didn’t believe that it would die now to such a puny creature that had to catch it off guard to inflict an injury on it.

Sadly for the boney bear, its luck had run out the moment Han Sen found it.
