Dave Devan

[Number of available star bugs: 4]

"What is this now!!? Why the heck are all these strange things are happening to me today. Now I can't tell whether everything I am experiencing was real or dream."

"First I died and got transmigrated to this world which made me hard to believe. Then I suddenly went to the starry sky and was catching stars which were even more ridiculous and then now there are some words on my right hand which feel very illusionary."

Seeing the words made Alex somewhat tired because of all the strange things he experienced today. It's not been more than an hour but in this hour he experienced transmigration, saw a black sun surrounded by stars now these words.

He tried to shake his right hand vigorously to get rid of the words, but it didn't work.

When he read the words floating above his right hand he forgot about his body issues. When he thought about the meaning behind those words he suddenly got attracted to the number 4. He clearly remembered that was the number of stars he caught in that starry sky. His sudden realization made him tremble.

"Don't tell me that everything that happened in that starry sky was real. The black sun was real, the revolving stars were real and me catching those stars was real too!!!."

"But what does the word bug mean, does it represent living bugs or does it represent system bugs."

The more he thought, the more mystery he felt towards the black sun and the surrounding stars.

His thoughts were interrupted as the words soon disappeared into his right hand. When he turned his hand and looked into his palm there were 4 tiny star marks inside his palm.

Soon he thought, what might be the uses of the star marks? Soon some crazy ideas appeared in his head.

"Come out Star Bugs"

Alex Devan shouted in a strong voice. But nothing happened still Alex didn't give up and continued to shout.

"Heed my call and come forth-Star Bugs".

Nothing happened.

"Star Bugs, I Choose You".

Not even a wind came.

"Maybe it's not a living bug. Since there was no response to my calling then it might be system bugs."

The more he thought, the more he felt that his assumption was right. If it's a living being then it's difficult to explain the appearance of those words but if it's a system bug then everything can be explained. Thinking about this he felt more reassured.

"Since it's a system bug then all I need to do is.... all I need to do is.... I have no idea how to use this kind of bug."

"I only heard about the bug, but I have no idea how those things work. I didn't study about computers and didn't have a computer, so I had no opportunity to learn about that bug."

Alex fell in dilemma about how to utilize those bugs. Just as he was thinking about this he suddenly heard footsteps. Hearing the footsteps Alex got anxious and closed his eyes. He pretended to be asleep, as he was not yet ready to speak to anyone in this world.

Soon he heard an angry voice of someone coming from the doorsteps.

"Herik you Stupid discipline, what the heck are you doing standing outside the door? Are you a medical master or guard? I clearly said to look after young master Alex but instead, you are guarding the door like a guard. Why the heck did you come outside??"

Hearing the angry voice of his master the man who stands in front of the door was shocked and hurriedly explained.

"Master the young master's heartbeat was very low and his pulse rate also very low. Just like you said unless there was a miracle it is impossible to survive. So that's why I am eagerly waiting for your return."

When the medical master heard the words of his disciple he froze on the spot. He suddenly felt flustered for some reason. He turned around just to see a man whose age maybe around 35 had a very terrifying ugly expression on his face. Seeing the expression of the man, the medicine master's heart nearly jumped out of his lungs.

The person behind him was the sleepless city lord and Alex Devan's father Dave Devan. For the past year, he has gone around the country doing various missions for the royal family. Three days ago when he returned to the capital after completing a mission, he heard the shocking news that his son was seriously injured during cultivation.

Dave Devan who heard this suddenly lost his mind and like a crazed madman, he stormed into the palace and took the royal physician along with him. He traveled back to the sleepless city by traveling for an entire three days and night without stopping in a single place. He didn't even allow them to stop for food.

Talking to such a madman about his son going to die is nothing but a voluntary suicide attempt.

Seeing the crazed posture of Dave Davan the physician quickly shouted back to his disciple.

"Unfilial discipline, those things are taught during the class, why are you still clinging on to it now. Since you are inexperienced you only need to follow what I have said. Now get out of the way."

He kicked his disciple to the side and quickly opened the door and let everyone inside. He quickly turned back and saw a white-clothed old man. The old man was around 60 years old and had a long white beard. He was widely known as old John. As soon as he saw this man he quickly came forward and shouted.

"Royal physician please take action and save young master Alex, he is in a serious condition." said the red-clothed physician

Alex who was pretending to be unconscious when he heard the shout of the man who entered inside suddenly trembled inwardly.

"Royal physician!!!?".

"Shouldn't the royal physician be in the royal palace, why the heck would he suddenly appear here? I heard that the royal physician only treats the royal family but why did such a big shot suddenly appear to treat me." Alex was flabbergasted by this old man's appearance.

The old John quickly came forward and felt his pulse, this time it was his turn to be flabbergasted. He felt the pulse and heartbeat of Alex were normal. Except for the physical trauma, Alex was completely fine. He quickly turned his head and glared at the red cloth physician with an angry look.

This time he was very angry because he got caught by this madman and was dragged by him for three days and three nights. Furthermore, without considering the old man's age they let him starve. The more he thought about his journey the more he felt aggrieved.

He suppressed his current feelings and calmly looked towards Dave Devan and said

"The boy's pulse and heartbeat returned to normal, so he was out of danger. He was still suffering from physical trauma which requires at least a level 3 medical pills to recover. He had originally taken a forbidden pill and received backlash from it. The essence core he condensed was fully cracked, and he can't condense a second essence core. So it is almost impossible for him to become a cultivator in this life."

"Since your son is out of danger send me back to the royal palace, Dave"

Dave!!!??

When Alex heard this his heart started to beat faster. He can't believe the father who he didn't meet for nearly one year has come to see him.

According to his memory, Dave was the kind of father that every child desires. He was a very friendly father who didn't let his child know the pain. Even though he was a city lord he still spends most of his time with Alex. It is because he is obsessed with making Alex a true cultivator which made them fall apart without realizing it.

Hard work without results will only give frustration.

No matter how hard Alex trained to meet the expectations of his father, there was never been any improvement in his strength. He hated himself for being so stupid for not being able to understand any cultivation or martial techniques. These kinds of pressure eventually made Alex feel frustrated, still, he put up with everything for his father who loved him dearly. In the end, this resulted in a crack in their relationship.

Dave Devan who heard that his son is not in danger was secretly relieved. Soon he regained his indifferent expression and observed Alex in the bed for some time then he turned back and called.

"Lark"

As soon as Dave shouted, a black-clothed man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. His sudden appearance made everyone in the room surprised because the door of the room was closed which means that this black-clothed person had been with them all this time, and they didn't even see him.

'Earth Profound Realm!!!' the royal physician John trembled in the thought of his speculation. As a royal physician, he had met all the Earth profound martial artists in the capital, so he can identify an Earth profound martial artist.

In Azure Empire Earth Profound realm represents the top powerhouse. In the capital, there are 4 big clans and 2 great academies considered as strong forces as each of their forces has an Earth Profound martial artist protection.

Dave didn't care about the royal physician's surprise and said talked to the black-clothed man "Lark, go to the Treasury and bring back the golden box placed on the second alter".

"Yes Sir" Lark quickly turned around left the room.

Then have turned to the royal physician and said "You have traveled a long distance go ahead and take some rest, everyone has worked hard this time. I thank everyone for your efforts."

Soon everyone left the room. There was only Dave and Alex. Soon Lark returned with a golden box in his hand. Dave opened the box and there was a white color pill with five strips on it was placed inside.

"I know you were awake, now eat this pill," Dave said

Alex Devan who was pretending to be asleep quickly opened his eyes and looked towards Dave. He saw a 30-year-old man with a robust body and sharp eyes. His hair and eyes are black like an abyss.

Seeing the man who will be his father, many emotions flooded in Alex. He felt kindness from this man's eyes which made Alex relatively happy. Alex opened his mouth and called.

"Father"
