CHAPTER 45 Trying out

Anyway, world travel is coming soon, and it will be to Akame Ga Kill, So now suggest me some good human shadows no matter if it's a man or Waifu besides Esdeath of course.

So after some thought, I don't think Akame suits Jinwoo's personality, So I decided not to add her to his love life, on the other hand, Esdeath comes across as a perfect match that could make him more cruel, and brutal.

Plus Akame could be a great fit as one of his shadows.

So what are your thoughts on it?

...

But it changed the way I liked it so I hugged him back.  I didn't know when but tears started to pour out of my eyes.  

"After father's disappearance, and mother getting sick, I ran away and hid like a coward and I wasn't there to support you, it's my fault. I realized that but it was too late and still, I never realized how much you matter to me and how much I need you."

 This time even my hands trembling

I clutched my shirt and started brawling out in an intense cry, my body shivered and I let out all the grievances I faced all this while

My pain

My Suffering

My anger

My unwillingness

everything was let out today in her tears

He supported me waiting for me to finish. 

she went on crying for about the next 5 minutes, when she had finished we stayed in the same position for about 10 minutes, Jinwoo was the one who first talked

"Are you okay"

There was no response but Jinwoo had felt a small nod on his chest, after that silence prevailed, he looked down at his sister, and what he saw surprised him

she was holding her head down, her eyes closed and her whole face red in embarrassment like a tomato, her lips pursed she looked so adorable that he wanted to give her a bite

feeling jin woo gaze she looked up at him, her eyes hazy, her venerable look caused his heartbeat to fasten, and he started feeling a little fuzzy

feeling a bit mischievous, Jinwoo leaned forward and gave a kiss on her forehead, going towards her ears he whispered

"You look so cute right now" Jinwoo just sighed and smacked her head," Ouch!" She cried in pain and looked at him pitifully. He said," Are you an Idiot? Why would you think such a thing", Jinwoo questioned with a serious face making Jinha flustered," Oppa that's so mean!", she said, as he walked from her, sitting back on the bed and continuing eating, flustered Jinha grabbed her hands... 

She blushed heavily not being able to look at him, Jinwoo smiled amused at this spectacle she is quite shy,

"I am busy these days, there 's nothing more to it," He told her, which had its effects as Jinha nodded with sparkled eyes.  "Really," she asked again "Yes" he replied showing his bloody teeth.  

"So I was a worry for nothing" 

"Yes"

Jinwoo replied and with a smile, Jinha picked up the breakfast plate from the floor.  As she was about to exit she heard his voice.  

"Stop I had to tell you something" 

"Yes, Oppa!" Asked Jinha after turning around. 

"You see I am going on a small trip" Hearing him she glared at him which was ignored by Jinwoo as he continued. 

"It's not related to the talk we just had, it's something important." 

"I see how long will this work trip of yours will last"

"I don't know, either way, it shouldn't take longer than a week."

"A week isn't too long, are you going out of the country?" Jinha asked in worry.  

"You could say something like that, aside that why don't we both go on a shopping streak when I return,  after all, we soon are shifting, So why don't we buy new things with a new home"

Hearing him, Jinha jumped high forgetting the fact that she was holding something which spilled all over the place.  "Really Oppa"

Yes, why would I lie? We will go shopping as soon as I come back. 

"Great thank you thankyou Oppa," Said Jinha as she jumped to hug him and he quickly got up catching her before she fell. 

...…

*Jin-Woo Pov.*

And with that, I was done eating every last bit of what was left of Minotaur's heart. I even drank its blood. 

And it wasn't something I am proud of but I had no way of knowing if it could work without us eating the whole thing. munching down I can say it's okay, although not delicious it's fine.

it tasted like it is made out of Refined Floor and not exactly something I want to eat...

And just after the first bite, I could feel the changes. I can feel myself growing stronger with every passing second. 

And after I felt like the process has stopped I excitedly said. 

It worked!"

Jinwoo raised his fist in the air in triumph and checked his status screen.

'Stat.'

Stats

HP: 8831/8831 R: 12.3%(647.10) per Minute

Ding~!

[You have gained a Skill "Charge of The Bull King"] 

Ding~! 

Charge of The Bull King 

Level: 1

Rank: Epic (A+++)

Skill Type: Active  

Mana Cost: 400

AOE: None

Cool Down: 5 Minutes.

Damage: 300%

Effect: While Charging at the player's opponents while utilizing the skilled player deals 200% damage on the first five content tries, Skill may leave the enemy stunt or intimate.

Holy moly I knew that it would react instantly but I didn't expect such an intense one, but thinking about it's quite normal after all the Minotaur was stronger than me. 

As expected, there was a huge effect on the stat. Increase them equal to 9 level gain. Which didn't seem much if you take count of just that it takes hundreds of C-rank monsters to level up just once. 

"Good!"

As I celebrated my new start.

After celebrating, sometimes I entered my bathroom and after cleaning I wore some new clothes and threw a few new sets in my inventory. 

Now it was time to gain the skill I was practicing for last week.  

As I sat down in a meditation pose using both mana flow and mana manipulation I started to manipulate mana inside me.  

And after pulling out a small out I didn't let it disperse in the atmosphere. Now I started to shape it around my body creating a thin invisible layer of pink mana all over my body. 

Then I maintain it like that.  Not even leaving a single strand of hair that wasn't covered by my second mana skin.  

While still keeping the flow of outside mana connected with me and letting the stable flow of oxygen and other necessities 

… 

Ding~!  

After spending hours upon hours I finally heard the 

….. 

I was ready for my trip. I already bought everything that could be required in the ritual. 

After saying goodbye to Jinha I left our apartment. 

In my sight, there was a long giant trail of light passing the entire city before splitting into different directions but at one point, there was a separate trail of light in the forest outside the city.

Those are the Dragon Viens and Ley Lines that span all this planet and the carrier of most of the Mana/Ki in nature which is my target this time, but I wasn't after the normal Dragon vein that could kill me if I dared to touch it.

The separation from the original vein is my goal this time. Unlike the big vein, the separation doesn't have that big energy, but for me, it is more than enough, and because the mana in it is chaotic nobody will come after it. Even if they could see it. 

Which was hardly anyone from this world. 

 I was able to feel every one of them easily. Small grains of golden light were flowing with the air now while circling around me as my hair moved slightly, forming a beautiful picture.

I didn't notice the grains of light because I was busy with this mysterious feeling that the mana brought me. For Jinwoo, this is almost fascinating. 

The Breeze was blowing slightly on the road I was walking without a care in the world. I chose to walk slowly as I was in no hurry.  

(Time skip)

Oii8oooioiiiio out Association because how great the Monsters were"

If this was my old world, I would laugh in the driver's face, but if it is this world, then everything is possible. But what the old man was saying was highly improbable, but still, I won't ignore it.  

I looked at the driver before I said " Don't worry old man, this is my station"

I walked away from the bus while the driver sighed before driving away.

I didn't follow the road and moved directly into the forest. I didn't need direction because the mana inside me was guiding me toward the exact location at this moment. My very instincts were talking me where I needed to go. 

I kept walking slowly while paying attention to the surroundings before something flashed in front of him.

Even though my gut tells me it will be painful and full of suffering for me. More painful than any pain I went through in my whole life. 

But the pain won't stop me from achieving casualty the Godhood and going beyond it. 

*Time Skip*

I spotted a cave in front of me.

I stopped my footsteps and stared at the cave in front of me. This's the entrance of the dragon vein and ley lines.

I was standing in front of the cave, and I was sensing the powerful and chaotic Mana coming from it.

'Very chaotic…' I frowned as I was measuring the mana inside the cave 'This negative and malicious intent makes me think of Angra Mainyu or Antares

Beings whose solo purpose is to create chaos but both create different types of chaos.'

Although it wasn't something exaggerated like the sins of the whole of humanity or born of destruction, but for the current me, this Mana is very dangerous.

This is just a separation of the Dragon vein Ley lines, so it doesn't have the usual purification function that cleans the mana before sending it back to nature. All the negative emotions have been stacked inside that space in the cave and will attack any living entering there, which is why no one wants to use these separated veins, even the supernatural of this place.

And because of the fact that these separated veins will dissipate after a while, no one cares about them. Even if hardly anyone knows about what Dragon Veins or Ley Lines are. 

I was thinking about how to enter this Dragon vein before the system screen flashed before me.

[Warning!!! 

Danger Zone. 

Dragon Veins is a resource filled with corrupted mana, it's a corruption zone, an entirely separate plane of existence. Filled with Dragon Veins and Ley Lines that were corrupt due to the presence of corrupted creatures in huge quantities. All the negative emotions have been stacked inside the space in the cave...

Warning: System suggests Player shouldn't enter this place before reaching Lv. 100]

Even after seeing the clear red flags in front of me, I can't stop now, even if this is risky. The man that has been created now is my ticket to take my power to the next level even without leveling up or using the system.

I understood the true weakness of mine or the limit that was put on the human body, It's life, no matter how much I level up from shadows it would never be true enough.

Humans are never enough and I can't remain in this shell, It's just a vision created by energy in a special way.

This is completely unacceptable for him.

The time of existence also is a problem because shadows are made just from energy, soul, and a few more. 

I have a feeling that this limit will even affect the normal strength of my shadows in the future, so I'll take care of it now and for all.

Before even acquiring the ability to create them so even from the start their power shouldn't go down but level up.  

Honestly, before I even created the shadows, it was only for the sake of removing this limit and because it is not very expensive for my current condition, but the mana somehow resonated with this world Mana which led to all the other stuff that happened.

This thing can even take my life to a certain extent

I am aware Pain and suffering are a thing and risking your life is a whole different thing. I know there's no second chance for me in any world. I will just disappear like I never existed, leaving nothing behind nothing on my existence.  

But do I have to risk your life for just power?

Power? It's all there is to it, in my short life I  consider power to be my first concern, it was just... I don't want to hesitate anymore or leave anything to regret later

And that there will be no one who would hear my wish,  the wish of a pathetic man who was given a second chance but was too afraid to use it wisely.   

I shook my head Jinwoo Stop acting like you are going to die and enter already! Reluctance is not your business.   

I took a deep breath and walked towards the cave entrance.

The cave wasn't big, it didn't even have much space inside as its end was in plain sight.

The moment I set one step here, the mana inside me started beating quickly. My heartbeat quickened up, as it was guiding me to the dragon vein and key line entrance.

The cave looked pretty normal by normal standards.  

But I didn't let my eyes trick me... 'Important things usually never appear easily' 

A wave of pink/multicolor mana appeared on my hand before I pointed with my finger to the front gently.

At the moment my finger touched the air in front of me, the space turned like water ripples and started to open. A green portal appeared in front of me.

"Dragon veins and Ley lines even if they are connected with nature, their true location is a different dimension" I nodded, as I was watching the gate expanding.

Although it is not big or strong like the dimensional gates, the Dragon veins exist in different dimensions made by mana from mana. 

Mana users can access some Dragon veins normally, but if you want to enter the true vein, then you need a key like the Yellow Dragon or a beast with very powerful control over Mana, like me.

Who had mana manipulation, an Divine (EX-rank) skill that has been maxed out?   

...

Anyway, world travel is coming soon, and it will be to Akame Ga Kill, So now suggest me some good human shadows no matter if it's a man or Waifu besides Esdeath of course.

So after some thought, I don't think Akame suits Jinwoo's personality, So I decided not to add her to his love life, on the other hand, Esdeath comes across as a perfect match that could make him more cruel, and brutal.

Plus Akame could be a great fit as one of his shadows.

So what are your thoughts on it?
