Chapter 2: Settling Down

Gin's POV

'Damn my arm still hurts' Slowly walking up the flight of stairs, mending my arm reversing the damage done, my eyes lingered around the place. 'The top floor should do the trick.' I never really needed a room, I just need a safe place to go in and out of my heavenly world.

I casted a simple illusion on the door, to make it unnoticeable, before entering. The room was a mess, weathered down by both time and calamities that befall on this house. I started cleaning by sending all the broken furniture, dust, and debris laying around.

'It looks passable enough' With all the garbage gone, I started to do the repairs. Using creation to make raw materials shaped to fit the fractures and missing parts. Using telekinesis to patch everything up, then reinforcing them with enhancements.

'I am beat' Tired I lay flat on the floor. This body is still far too young to handle the burden of my abilities, even when extremely suppressed. Even though I wished to be a race superior than humans, I still am not able to use the benefits of being a hybrid ( Noblesse ), because the laws of this world still applies. I have to kill to awaken my werewolf side and I have to die to awaken my vampire side.

'Kore ga jinrui saidai no iryoku no kougeki shudan, kore koso ga kyuukyoku no kougeki mahou, ekusupuroojon!' That says it all in where my powers' at. Though I must say compared to when I first arrived here, I made heaps of progress.

Flashback: Somewhere in Louisiana ( 6 months ago )

"(＃°Д°) Arrggghhhh! Fuck" Cries of agony reverberated in the dark empty alley. Gin's body covered in black veins as if tearing him inside out. In a sudden shock he entered a stupor as new memories flooded his mind.

I was a special child, born from the unity of my mother's coven and my father's pack. When I was born the witches in my mom's coven conducted an immortality ritual as a symbol of the everlasting fertility and peace. All is well, like always every morning I go outside to pick berries and flowers to make dye, but then. The memories started to get muddled, the traumatic experience was too much for the mind of the child to handle.

Blazing Inferno befall on us, these people, these monsters, came. They killed, played, torture, us for the sake of proving they are superior. I saw my father's body half human - half wolf, hi body full of holes, slashes, bruises. My father seems to have been killed while forcing himself to shift even without the full moon. The memory is becoming more hazier, the raging flames, the cry of agony, and the laughter of the devils.

As I observed more I met eyes with my mother who was being raped, one of them was biting her wrist sucking her blood. I looked into my mother's eyes, full of fear, "Run!!!" she shouted. The memory was too blurry to make anything out.

"I will make sure to pay them back for the suffering my family has suffered, I vow this, hear me god, devil, to all of you. I shall make those demons pay" That was the last thing I heard, when my senses came back. It seems like things are going to be more complicated than what I had in mind, The third curse surely activated back there.

Then slowly I started to feel, everything around me. The unbearable pungent smell, the sound of micro vibrations of broken pipes, the weird taste of the air I breathe, the feeling of movement of thing's far away from me, the dark alley way started to become well lit as if covered with lights, my visions zooms in with absolute clarity, seeing ant crawling meters away as if it was right in front of my eye. This feeling was so euphoric, until it overloaded me. I started to sense everything meters to kilometers of details, my mind cannot cope, it was all pain. I fainted again.

-----

Waking up for the second time in this godforsaken alley, I must say I feel better. It seems like during my sleep my mind-body subconsciously adapted to my newly enhanced senses. Unlike before my senses became more tamed, I started to notice details about my body I did not notice earlier. I am wearing ten black rings, I cannot remove them, though I believe they are not a physical object but purely made out of magic.

There is also this thin red thread, the thickness of a human hair, tied to my left wrist. I don't know which abilities I have right now, so I started shouting like a Chūnibyō hoping something would happen, unfortunately it only made me look like a fool, so I decided to give up for now and leave this alley. Unbeknownst to Gin, after he left the alley, objects started floating for a brief moment.

-----

Since I don't know where to go next, I decided to follow the red string. I haven't been to America even in my previous life, so me walking around the city felt like I was in a fieldtrip the different architectures, people, culture, a lot of things fascinated me. Though the people give me weird stares, I don't know if it was because of the wounds... there were no wounds, well just the teared bloody clothes then and my lack of shoes in the bustling night city.

There probably someone who called the authority already, so I started to pick up the phase, but I think it's futile, as the stamina of this body needs some heavy work. So after a few minutes of walking, two men wearing police uniform with a bright smile. "Hello..." Then I went to foster care.

-----

I have been in foster care for a week now, with all honesty I was just speechless from the moment I met with the police, then I was labeled as mute. I just decided to play along with it. Though I plan to run away tonight, it took me a week to gather all the information I needed, about the place, current date, and many more stuff considered to be common sense which I did not posses.

Oh right before I forget, I also figured out how to lift objects with my mind. just small ones like marbles small. I can make 4 marbles float for a good few minutes before I feel mentally fatigued. As for my senses, I fell in love with them, it feels like I can go anywhere in the city without even leaving my room. As for my other abilities there is still no sign of them manifesting.

Flashback End

After reminiscing about the past, I got back up and set a basic protection, illusion, and silencing formation. You might be wondering where I got them, or where I learned the spells I used. The answer is the library!!! well not the human library but the one inside my heavenly world.

The first time I entered it was disappointing to say the least, it was the size of a tiny hamlet. There was a small pond in the middle. there were two small houses to the north a the library of heaven's path, it contained a few shelfs with books about basics on lot of things. On the west lies a workshop, they have a few basic tools used for crafting. There was also a small patches of land that was plowed in the east, I planted some vegetables and some fruit trees there.

Then there is also this game like screen hovering around me, from what I understood, I can only use the system inside of my heavenly world. And because of the system I have now a general gauge on how much my power will increase, as of now I am barely above a human child with enhancements, magic, and knowledge that made look like I am more powerful than what I currently am.

I expect the first seal to raise my power to your average vampire, witch, and werewolf tribrid. Second seal should raise my power above an enhanced version of it. So on and so forth, though some of my abilities wont manifest till the seventh seal and above. I am merely speaking of power though, like over all power, if I add physical, magical, and mental powers all together. So not that strong really, in my opinion. But then I have no qualms with that, it gives me enough time to familiarized on each and every ability and truly make it my own. I mean even if I wish for those abilities, doesn't mean I would know how they used them, after all those skills are the fruit of their hard work training with their abilities.

-----

I headed to the workshop, planning to make furniture for the room. As of now I am only able to make simple raw materials and shape them how I wanted to, but if I just created them in a less complex shape, for example a block, I am able to make more with less strain. You know back in my previous life I had a general love for design and making things rather than buying a pre made one. Man that DIY hobby put a rabbit hole in my pocket. I miss my mechanical keyboard, my wonderful sketchbooks, and my beloved plushie terry-fluff.

I started to make cotton, it took a while to make, a few break times in between. Cotton is fairly complicated I must say. Then a soft cloth fabric, lastly threads which I reinforced and enhanced. Ah right though it might seem that I was working for hours, in the outside world barely anytime has passed, I feel sleepy though.
