The First AVATAR

“Interesting... we should report this to Master.”, said the black haired guy after nodding his head.

Immeditely after they said this, they immeditely vanished from the site.

“Mother... Look what I’ve got here!”, said Ryuu in a loud voice upon hearing which his mother woke up from her sleep.

“Uh...!? Ryuu!!?”, she immeditely looked at all the blood that was on his body and immeditely rushes towards him.

“What happened to you!!? This... blood!!!?”, she panicked when she saw the blood all over his body. She imagined many bad things that could have happened to Ryuu when he immeditely stopped her.

“This is not my blood mother...”, he said immeditely.

“Eh? Not your blood? Then...?”, she was still worried due to the blood in front of her.

He immeditely flashed the large amount of meat that he was hiding behind him and said, “Look at this mother, we won’t have to be hungry tonight!”

He said with a happy expression. But his mother’s expression changed and she immeditely said, “Did you steal it!!? No matter how hungry we were I never taught you to steal then why!!?”

She had misunderstood what he said and started to blame him for stealing.

It was not a good act and no mother would want her child to commit such crimes and thus she was angry more than happy.

“Mother, you misunderstood! I hunted this!”

It was unbelievable. The meat seemed to be large and she knew very well that it was of a strong beast after looking at the thick fur that was still attached to it.

So she couldn’t possibly believe him.

“Don’t you Lie now!”, she said loudly.

But Ryuu has done nothing wrong. He couldn’t justify himself because his own mother was refraining herself from believing him.

A poor sick child who had been bed ridden till yesterday couldn’t possibly kill a beast.

Even Ryuu understood that he was demanding his mother to believe the impossible. If he was in her place then he too wouldn’t have been able to believe it so he had to unfortunately lie to her or basically twist the truth a bit.

“Okay mother, what happened was that the beast ate a poisonous herb by mistake and died. I happened to see it so I went and cut and brought some thing so that we could eat.”, that was what Ryuu told after thinking for a bit.

She couldn’t doubt him more so she believed him and then took the meat from him and kept it for washing.

“Go... wash youraeof and come back.”

There was a small well nearby which was only for the poor slum people. The water was also provided to them but for that they had to pay huge sum of taxes.

But that could have been understandable if the water quality was good however that was not the case.

The water that was provided to them was actually the waste water that the nobles would throw after bathing or using for other purposes.

That was what provided to them but right now they were desperate so none of them questioned.

Ryuu too went and washed himself while trying to avoid being caught by anyone since they would pose many questions if they were to see blood stains all over his body.

As soon as he washed himself, he got out of the water and started walking back and reached the home.

Then he sat on the bed and started to stare at the locket which his mother had given him earlier.

“Weird... why does this locket give an omnious feeling...”, he kept on glancing at it when his mother called to have some food which she has prepared.

He immeditely ate it and then asked her if he could go to play for which she nodded her head and agreed hesitantly.

Ryuu ran outside enthusiastically but he had no intention of playing around.

He wanted to cultivate and get stronger as soon as possible and he knew a perfect place within the forest he had visited earlier where a lot of pure Qi was present.

He entered the forest again and walked towards that place. There wouldn’t be the trouble of any beasts since he was sitting high upon a tree branch after climbing it.

Also it was not too deep so there was not much of a danger. He arranged some leaves and made a normal tree house which was not that good but bearable.

“Good, now I can start cultivating here...”, he immeditely took out the herbs that he had gathered before.

The blue herbs were still shinning. Even though some were crushed, it was good enough to be used.

He immeditely took out the core which he had obtained earlier.

“Okay, first let’s eat these herbs...”, he started chewing all the herbs raw without cooking or turning it into pills.

Usually medicines and other things are made from herbs after they have turned into pills and due to that a lot of Qi and soul energy that the herb has dissipates that’s why he thought it was right to just chew all of them.

Slowly and steadily he ate all the herbs he has brought and then immeditely after that he sat cross legged in a meditation position and started to cultivate.

Red light started to gather around him and his soul force started to rise slowly. His internal Qi was also increasing which was clearing his body and removing the impurities.

Soon 2 hours passed by and Ryuu pauses cultivating.

“Huff huff, that was close. It’s good that I stopped or else my veins might have been damaged.”

He was still far from breaking through to the Lower Martial Realm. He has just started so it was inevitable.

“Hmm, based on my working time and speed and thanks to the herbs help it will take around two months in order to breakthrough...”

It was not too long but it was not too short either. Therefore he planned on practising martial fighting techniques too.

“Very well then, let me first acquire my first AVATAR and after that I’ll start cultivating... Yes! That will be the best!”

In this world there was another power that masters used and that was the power of the beasts and their cores.

Once they gained a core, they would use it to fuse with it and then acquire that beasts soul. Whenever they wanted they could use that beasts spirit and protect or attack anyone they wanted. Those were called AVATARS.

A person could have a maximum of one avatar but a very few talented people had 2 or even 3 avatars.

It was the same for Ryuu. In his past life he had 3 avatars which was considered to be rarest talent ever.

“Bull spirit... be my first avatar!!!”
