The Cheat Seed - Chapter 26
“Crayalus Ravens huh?, I bet he’s strong”
[10 times stronger than you, and that’s just what I think he’ll atleast be.]
“What’s that supposed to mean, Even after training non stop for 6000 years in the Dungeon and he’s still 10 times stronger??”
Marcus snapped.
[Well duh, That dude’s training in the God’s Realm okay!!! The fricking God’s realm. What less do you expect from a human who’s no less inferior to a god??]
“No less than a God?”
Marcus went into deep thought mode. He played with his eye brows, bit his overgrown nails and blowed away the dirt between them.
Suddenly, as if he had achieved everything in this world, Marcus jolted up and posed like a king after a war.
“If he’s a God, Then…I’ll be the God Slayer”
Marcus said in the coolest way ever.
His Demon Fox Diablo flashed and dimmed as if cheering him up.
Crayalus was 10 times stronger than him, but little did he know that the Seed he had recieved from the Flame Emperor actually was holding his true power back. Without the Seed, Marcus would be in par with Crayalus’s strenght. But the Emperor had his reasons even when he realized the boy in front of him could easily overwhelm the kid of The First and the only God from Earth.
Even the system realized the drastic drop in the power level of Marcus. But kept itself shut as if recognizing what the Emperor wanted. The Flame Emperor only wanted the good to happen. If Marcus returns to his homeland with that much raw power, he was sure to falter somewhere and lead to the destruction of the entire planet. But now reducing his power which he had already experienced will help him control it better and finally master it.
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, MARCUS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST AND THE STRONGEST GUARDIAN THE EARTH EVER HAD.
“Haizzz”
With a sigh and a groan Marcus stretched his limbs and his spine.
“Hey system, Let’s go back now, back to my home”
[Yes, Sure]
Marcus’s heart beat faster as another portal opened up right in front of him. This portal resembled the one from the Dungeon.
Without any other thought, Marcus jumped right on to the portal.
He once again felt as he was swimming and flying at the same time. The other mouth of the portal was at the other end.
Marcus frantically made his way to the end and blasted right through the opening.
His Vision blurred and he cringed as white light hit his face and his eyes. His pupils adjusted pretty quick to the drastic light change in the atmosphere.
Blinking his eyes a few times Marcus finally saw the beautiful scene in front of him. The Sunlight rushed right on to his face and his face flushed a little due to the warm stray lights hitting him.
He could see his Academy right in front of him. The Terrace he jumped from and the podium from which he was looked down by others. His heart welled up for some time but suddenly returned to normal as he shaked off the dark memories from his past.
He was on the mountain which was right beside his Academy.
“Alright, Time to meet my parents and my little sister”
Marcus blushed when he thought about his cute little sister.
[KAWAII]
“Eh?”
[It means Cute]
“Ah, Righty Righty”
[Marcus!!, It’s better you hide your identity, atleast till you reach your parents]
“Yea..Makes sense, People won’t recognize me anyway, But putting on the Mask and walking through the streets will make me cool”
There was a pause for a whole minute.
“KEKEKEKEKEKKEKEK”
*ZAP*
“Aargh!!”
…………….
His ‘Oni’ mask was on his face. He wondered why people from the Other Earth called this Oni?.
[If you remember, I said ONI in The Other Earth means Demons or Devils.]
“Ah, That really makes sense, I mean look at this thing, Nk wonder these are called ‘ONI’ masks,….The Devil Masked Marcus, whoa”
[Stop being delusional unless you want another electric zap stuck up in your ass]
“No, Goddamit anything but that!!!”
With a snap of his finger Marcus was back on his outfit. He called this his official Outfit now. The White Kimono with the Black capri, the amazing shoes and of course the ‘ONI’ mask.
Marcus was on the road from the mountain in the blink of an eye. He patted the white kimono and readied it neatly. He did the same with the Capri and blowed the dirt away in his shoes along with all of the other leaves around into air.
He paced slowly on the path as leaves fell slowly all around him. Inside he was screaming with joy because what he was doing now was..
“COOOOOOOL!!!!”
A boy in his bicycle shouted from behind as he saw Marcus pacing through the falling leaves.
“KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI, I know right!!!!”
…………
After all of the cliche cool moments, Marcus reached his home. It was the same from the outside, but he bet it was not at all good without him there for his parents. Marcus opened the gate and closed it behind him. Looking around with a feeling of nostalgia he shook his shoulders as a weird feeling creeped up in his stomach, Marcus stopped right in front of the door. His parents where talking inside. Their voices were very low and not clear.
“I better hear what’s going on”
Marcus activated his Almighty Sense. The Voice became clear as daylight and he heard the conversation.
“How was today’s work?” His mom was asking, probably to his dad.
“It was good, we managed to actually do some quality work in the fields today”
His father’s voice replied.
“Fields?”
Marcus’s eyebrows went up as a little streak of surprise hit him.
“But he’s an Unique Seed Mage in the King’s Palace?!”
“The other farmers were a big help too, using magic in the fields really does the trick”
His father chuckled.
Marcus rang the bell without a thought. The Voice inside went silent. Marcus’s fists were clenched.
What was going on???. Why was he helping out in the fields?. Isn’t he supposed to be one of the best Mages in the kingdom?? Maybe the king asked him to go support the Peasants?? But they usually didn’t recieve any help!!.
His head was about to blow up with thousands of questions but it soon went blank when he heard the clink of metal behind the door and when the wooden door opened.
His Mind went blank and his eyes welled up behind his mask. He broke down emotionally and hugged the figure in front of him.
“MOMMMMMM!!”
