The Cheat Seed - Chapter 16
“AARGH”
Marcus fell in pain clutching his torn-off arm. Blood was splashing all around like water from a fountain. The Fox licked the blood on its face and bared its fang at Marcus. Its huge body moved slowly towards Marcus who was still writhing in pain on the ground.
Marcus, clutching his right dragged himself back with his feet. His vision blurred.
“Marcus, Marcus” His mom called out to him.
Marcus woke up from a deep slumber.
“Where am I?” Marcus asked as he rubbed his eyes.
But there was no reply.
He looked around. His Dad was beside Mom along with Dave looking at him, sympathizing. They were smiling but their eyes were bloodshot. They looked gloomy but they were still smiling.
“We miss you, son, come back home, quick”
Mom said, her voice drifting apart.
“Yo, come back already, it’s boring….and lonely without you here bruv”
Dave said, tears rolling down his soft cheek
They slowly started drifting away from him as if they were floating on water.
“Don’t Go”
Marcus reached out his right hand, which was bitten off but it was still there as if nothing happened.
“I’m COMING”

His hand reformed as Marcus jolted up in a split second. His eyes glowing red and his fists covered with a black aura. His ‘Doom’ had a major impact on the boss Monster as it suddenly cowered back in fear.
[Due to Intimidating a God Slaying monster, Specific skill Evolved]
[Skill Evolved : Doom Evolved to God Slayer’s Aura]
[Skill Abbreviated to GS aura]
The Red terrifying glow of his eyes intensified and a huge dark aura, the dark color of blood blanketed him. The Evolution of the skill led to the Monster being intimidated more as it took slow steps back.
Marcus perfectly synced with it as he paced towards the Boss Monster as it stepped away from him.
*Flash*
Marcus disappeared and appeared right in front of the Boss Monster, Looking it at its eyes. Gravity intensified around the Fox as it got smacked straight to the ground face-first due to the intense pressure Marcus was giving off.
Marcus pulled his leg back and connected it with fox’s jaw perfectly. The sound of its jaw cracking echoed throughout the forest and the trees shook. The Land behind the Monster blasted to bits because of the Shockwave.

“Ohoh?..” Marcus raised an eyebrow at the Evolved skill. He thought for a second, his thoughts sparked as he charged up his fist.
*Bam*
Marcus jabbed his right fist straight to the Monster’s broken jaw and it smoothly connected. The jaw which had already suffered a break tore apart from its mouth and smacked right on a tree beside before going limp.

“Hmm, Just as I thought”
He smiled as he stretched his hands and legs. Bending down he touched his toes and stretched his spine. Rotated his head 90 degrees sideways and jumped a few times.
“Ha…Refreshing”
He peered at the Fox in front of him. It was losing a lot of blood from its mouth and was slowly losing HP. All of its Gail’s were down in defeat.
“How does it feel to lose blood now Foxy?” He thought about the terrifying pain he experienced some minutes ago.
When Marcus turned towards the separated jaw, his eyes caught a sparkling object inside. Walking slowly towards the broken jaw he relieved the Fox from the pressure. It was a living thing too and it managed to hurt him. He knew it was gonna die soon and wanted it to die peacefully.
[You call this peaceful? It fucking doesn’t have a jaw!]
“Shut Up System… And what’s with the language?”
[I am integrating myself into the User slowly so..]
“So you’re becoming me and my thoughts slowly”
[You got it!]
Marcus was happy, He didn’t have to tolerate that computerized voice anymore. But if it becomes like him…
Marcus stared blankly ahead and gulped at the terrorizing future he imagined with the system.
“Whatever” Marcus shook his hands frantically ahead of him to stop himself from imagining things.
He bent his knees as he reached the broken jaw beside the huge tree. A crystal shining a mix of orange and black was at the center placed perfectly along with the fangs.
Marcus picked up the crystal from its broken jaw. Pieces of meat stuck themselves on the crystal and blood oozed from the tip.
Marcus grabbed a torn piece of cloth stuck in his pants and wiped of the mucus and blood.
“What’s this”
[That my user is the crystal used to integrate the 90 tailed Demon Fox into your body]
“Eh?”
[It simply means that you can make the beast your own and command it however you want]
“You mean like a summoner or Tamer?”
[Hmm..Yes, summoners are those who summon beasts from the Demon world, using Magic but Tamers are those who bond with the beast they capture in the Dungeons]
“In this case, I am a Tamer right?”
[Yes]
“But being a Tamer is tough though. It all depends on the trust between the Tamer and the beast. If the beast doesn’t trust you then it’s impossible….”
Marcus drifted off as he looked at the Boss Monster, jawless losing blood as its HP bar dropped below 10%
Marcus stood up and walked towards the Fox and bend down again. He slowly reached his arms towards its forehead and patted it. The Fox, barely clinging to life looked at Marcus.
“I am sorry buddy, There was no other choice but to defeat you and I believe it was the same for you” Marcus rubbed its fur slowly.
The monster continued staring at the human before it, its eyelid slowly closing.
“That’s why….I’ll save you” Marcus said with a smile.
The Fox’s ears perched up as its eyes opened wide.
Marcus held the crystal in his hand and then brought it close to his forehead. He repeated the same thing his Academy texts had taught him. The Tamer brings the Acquired crystal close to his/her Forehead and forms a pact with the beast.
The Crystal infused itself into Marcus. A Tattoo which was similar to The Flame emperor’s formed on Marcus’s right hand, which ran from his right shoulder and chest area to his wrist.
The system deciphered the Tattoo for Marcus and an image of the Tattoo appeared in front of his eyes.
The Tattoo showed a Fox baring its fangs at his wrists and its body ran to his shoulder. The 90 tails were tattooed on his chest and in his back. Perfectly divided to 45 on the front and 45 on his back.
[Skill Created : Perfect Tamer]
[Skill Perfected : Perfect(X2) Tamer]
[Due to taming a God Slaying Demon, The Recent skill will be Evolved]
[Skill Evolved : Perfect tamer to Universal Tamer]
Marcus had a proud feeling as he witnessed the things unfolding before him.
He had just tamed a beast, That too a God Slaying Demon. He pumped his fist into the air.
“Yes The God Slaying Demon is mi..”
“Wait..WHAT’S A GOD-SLAYING DEMON?????”
