Assassin's Wishes 4 New Star

Opal still couldn't believe that it is not a dream. She took Mormo, put him on her laps and look at him. for Mormo whole life she had to work, she never had any time to look after him. Now she doesn't have to work for the clan anymore, she can put all her thought into Mormo, no one will abuse her or her son anymore. She knows that her condition is gifted to her by her son. she never gave him anything only miserable experience and still he set her free.

She was never considered as a human and her worst fear is to pa.s.s this destiny to her son. her mind gone blank, all the other stuff doesn't even matter to her anymore, all she wanted to do is to protect her son. On her laps inside her embrace Mormo open a big and thick book. In his past life he was a programmer, they say that if you will ever stop learning you are out of the game, for him this book length means nothing. He can memories it and understand the major part rather quickly, to be honest most of his past life has been spent near the computer screen reading new papers and looking for loop hole in big systems.

They lived like that for a week, Opal didn't let the servant clean or make food for Mormo every part of his life should be taken care by her, and Mormo except from eating and sleeping just sit and read his book, his mother nag him every hour or so to go and play with her or to go and have some fun around the clan. She didn't want him to pressure himself too much, but eventually she gave up and just sat near him and tried to understand the book with him. Because she never cultivated or even studied anything she was bad at it. her thinking process was slow compare to Mormo so he had to understand the content and then explain it to his mother. At first his mother got really depressed because of it, but because she felt inferior to other for all her life it was easy for her to accept it.

Mormo was really disappointed, how bad the education on this continent is?? How can it be that this book is so big and contain so many words but it's have so little information? how many time did they explain the same thing over and over again? Did they bring me a book made for idiots, or is it the edition for the younger? He wanted to stop the reading process long ago, but he couldn't bring himself to stop he needed to know everything before he starts the training process.

The summery of the book is something like that:

There are lots of different G.o.ds, every G.o.d gives some kind of power that match with your inner personality. G.o.ds spread their essence in the world, by collecting the essence and store them in your body you can control them and with their help manipulate nature. When you use the essence, they will run wild in your body. in other times they have to be stored in a specific location inside your body, this part can be chosen by the user, but the organ that store the power will be function worse than it has been in the past. If the power that has been stored in your body is lost you just need to collect it again. The G.o.d levels indicate what is the capacity of the essence inside your body. If this organ will be destroyed, you will never be able to cultivate again. Fortunately, the exterior of the organ will be much stronger thanks to the essence inside of it.

Mormo got really confused about something, according to the book there are different G.o.ds but he can't find any difference between their essence. Maybe the people in this world just don't understand it? Or can it be that all the essence are the same? If there is a difference, why the essence gathering process is the same for everyone?

…

After he thought about it for a long time he couldn't find anything, to be honest he researches it so long not only for himself, as a hacker he wanted to find the loop hole which will help his mother to get her recognition and collect her own essence.

"It will give me nothing to just sit and think about it, let's try to collect some essence ... but first I need to decide about the part of the body that will store my essence, isn't it easy?? I will just choose my skin, even if it got damage it will repair itself fast and the capacity of the skin is enormous. the book recommended to store the essence in the small intestine, do I look like someone who want to stay all day long inside the toilet? As the capacity of the essence grow your organ grows weaker. But it's not like old people have any problem with their skin, right? And let's not forget that as the essence build up my skin will be tougher! And I didn't even start to think about how hard it is for someone else to destroy all my skin" Mormo thought. he wasn't too informed about the human body but he totally liked his reasoning.

he adjusts himself on his mother knee close his eyes and start to breath in irregular ways, the key is basically to breath very fast until there are too much oxygen in your lung, and then start to breath as slow as you can until you are feeling suffocation. After Mormo repeat this process for 10 minutes he started to sweat all over, he felt like he is about to faint but then he managed to feel something, as tiny as dust, he called it. he concentrated all his mind on this little spark of dust, and it started to move slowly toward Mormo, his heart beat so fast that even Opal could hear it clearly. It entered through his mouth into his Lang and then to his blood vessel, the book says that at list two cycle is required before you can insert the essence into your selected organ, more cycle will make the essence more adjustable to your body. Mormo was too tired for that after exactly 2 cycles maybe a little bit less he pushes the dust to his skin, and as it enters the skin he opens his eyes and stop his weird breath.

His mother looked at him anxiously, "Are you fine? Anything hurt? You are all sweaty let mother help you wash yourself." today she didn't want to let him train anymore, but after he show her his "cute" face and beg for her while saying that without her help he probably will never managed to cultivate in this life. She let him continue.

One dust every 10-15 minutes or so and then 30 minutes break partly because he needed it and mainly because his mother freaked out and didn't stop nagging him. he couldn't feel anything different from his skin? Maybe he is doing something wrong? Well the book says that it will take some time before any effect will take place. As a programmer he could work for 16 hour a day for months and as a human being how could he not be fascinated by the concept of "magic".

His mother accompanies him for the next month they didn't talk much, just sit near each other breathing the same air. She looked at him and pray that this time will never stop. Their new father didn't appear again after he take Opal as his wife. No ceremony or any kind of meeting. Opal was for him something like a potential treasure.

After another one month of painstaking training, Mormo was just sitting on his mother when his next dust enters his skin after preforming 5 full cycle his skin grew hot. it was like his whole body was at war against itself. He felt like he was swimming in a very hot pool.

He knows that he is entering his first G.o.d level, he didn't want anyone to see it, as long as he entered his first level people can look at his power and determined which G.o.d gave him his recognition, if it will be a weak one Tiny and his mother future will turn upside down again. he put his hand inside his mouth and took a bite. he screamed a soundless scream inside his mind. Blood was flowing from his hand, he thought "s.h.i.+t my skin has been damaged!!" but no essence left his body. "maybe it needed to be damaged to some extent before essence start to leave the organ?" and then the pain grew much more unbearable, he was about to shout but he talked about it with his mother and told her that in the critic time she must to make sure no sound will leave his mouth no matter what.

She did to him what other did to her when they wanted to keep her quiet. She pushes all her hand into his throat. So many time people did it to her that for her it wasn't that big of a deal and she understood that if someone will find about his achievement the best will be that they will keep their stance, they could only lose from discovering which G.o.d recognize her son.

She hated herself for being so useless and that her son sacrifices so much for her, one hand in his throat the other hugging him. She stays like that for a while until he stops his trembling and pa.s.ses out.
