Care taker

I can feel my energy filling up quickly and at this rate it will be my eight advancement in only three months half the time last time and it is not good as too quickly could have negative effects on my bodies capabilities in adjusting too the rapid increase in energy and strength.

My current energy amount is C-grade and by the tenth advancement it will probably reach S-grade when I finish the ninth advancement so I need more time as such rapid increase in energy could have horrible backlash or it could lead too problems, but I can't control that so I send in the request too advance in this world so as not too return back too our world every few months except for when the stage is completing will I return.

I heal and buff during fights against the new creature we found on the next expedition as we went straight too the edge of our previously mapped area and began too map allowing us too get further out and out of the dead zone where a bunch of smaller snakes and scorpions appeared along with some dune cats and amur tigers here along with many cacti and small trees and bushes.

We find about 20 water holes and 7 oasis once you got about 4000 miles square radius and officially entered in a more dangerous area filled with many different creatures like a bird that looks like hummingbirds and as small as them but their beaks were so sharp even the A-ranks had scratches. A group of pitch black lizards that attacked at night in groups when you can't see them due to them being darkness energy based creatures.

Almost everything in this area was carnivores and omnivores leading to the creatures in this area all being higher grade and therefore perfect too eat for strength enhancement, talks of using the weaker oasis for a base and leaving the others too make this a hunting ground is already going.

The higher grade hunters have made a semi stable base spot in the other two oasis nearer too base so people have started moving there because the offering prices for work is higher and access too higher grade creatures will be easier, although you can eat two creatures for more enhancement that is only if the creature is at the same level as the previous one you ate but if you eat one like the amur then eat a lizard you will just get an enhancement like if you had the blue fruit with it.

No negative problems or troubles meaning you can eat creatures lower than your own and gain strength without evolving any more making high rank creatures being what all the continents want, preservation laws from our worlds were already being talked of too prevent over hunting in this already dangerous and unstable ecosystem.

We come back too base just as my advancement is coming and I go to a energy neutralizing room in the base, they are set up for future prisoners here so to get a early prevention on crime, but I will use one of the rooms for advancing.

I only spend a day condensing the liquid energy into solid energy in both my mental realm and spirit veins.

I take a break the next day then we once more head out too check the area even further out, I have been here almost nine months and my next complete advancement is coming and we have found a new section of a jungle and we realize that the desert is far safer. The bugs in the jungle plus mass plant diversity and animal diversity make it a hot pan for some extremely powerful creatures that so far only the S-ranks and higher have been able too handle making it a mass danger zone and not viable for a base too be built near.

As the time for advancement comes I feel bits of discomfort not just in my head but also in my body as the rapid increase in energy is causing problems but I can't change it too much except too use energy and that is only too be done at base under supervision and not near people not in the know.

I am about too turn 24 soon and most likely but by my 25th birthday I will either finish this early cultivation stage or be dead from energy overrun.

The five bases have been completely set up and safe and I heard that one of the people is now 3 months pregnant having gotten pregnant here and we plan too have a wait and see if the child will be fine, the parents are a set of F-ranks who one ate the lizard normally and the other ate it with the blue fruit so the outcome of the child is uncertain.

By the time I finish my next evolution the child will have arrived and we will know the outcome, I return today and will have a week with my family before I am meant too enter the medical room too do my advancement.

I exit the portal too a very different room then before with it now being filled with waiting chairs and couches, people talking all over and a few different people all over.

It has truly become a hotspot for rich and influential people too go too enhance themselves and become stronger, I walk up to Lucien who is here with Nilan and Wyatt who can be considered my guarantee as he is protecting and aiding me.

I greet Wyatt and he takes me too the medical room too undergo testing and a checkup being stripped naked once more I feel less embarrassed as when you spend months out in the wild ones ability too take a shower alone is nonexistence so many people have taken a shower with me at this point. 

After being checked I am too undergo a mental test too check my stability as a few soldiers snapped after returning last time making it so it is now required for all those coming and going too the other world.

The test are all clear and I am allowed to return home with Nilan and Lucien and Lucien takes me too meet the team again, I haven't seen them in years and break down crying when meeting them again. I talk with them for the entire day and visit them with Nilan and Lucien for the rest of the week.

I enter the advancement room and hug my plant slowly I begin too condense the mental energy like the last time and it happens quickly as my mental strength condenses and finally I begin to reverse and push the energy out.

My body begins too change my muscles and blood vessels expand and pop before healing and the process continues with the plant inserting energy into the parts to merge mine and it's energy with it, my skin is shrinking and expanding while horrific pain goes through me as I feel like I am being pulled apart from the inside out.

I am uncertain if I was truly awake by the end of it but I know I do not remember when I fell unconscious, waking up I feel tingly and over sensitive as it feels like my skin will jus rip if I move too much.

I begin my mental adamant and I can feel my spinal cord and major nerves begin to die off and be merged with my mental energy, my mental energy veins are nearly finished and I can feel more energy around me then before like air on my skin that is blowing but I can't quite fully touch but can mess with somewhat.

This is by far the most painful and horrific one yet and the dead parts are stuck too my skin after my body has expelled them I stand up and walk and feel a hint of blood at my legs, looking down my skin has ripped open from me walking.

I am now not fit for combat and it isn't even done yet but it will probably finish with the next advancement as all the parts will have been replaced and my mental energy veins will be done.

 I condense the energy into liquid and can feel it fill up quickly it probably will only take a month and a half too finish this and three months for the solid part before I am done so I will use a vacation due too injury.

I send out a mental pulse required too request help as I sit by the bathroom door and Wyatt enters to my legs bloody, he immediately races too me and begin too scan me over and I go to talk but cough blood as my throat rips too form the pressure of my neck muscles my body was a mix of too powerful and weak.

Wyatt checks me and the takes me too the bathroom to wash me using his own water energy and scrubs me lightly but still blood comes out from where my skin is pushed up against my muscles and Wyatt holds me too my room before telling me not to do anything before going out most likely too report my situation. I remain until he returns and with a set of medical tools and my plant which we had left in the room due to being too weak to grab and Wyatt being too focused on me.

I will probably spend the time till the ninth and final cycle is over in this bed which will probably only take four and a half months if the past experience is too be expected.

I guest I will get that break I wanted earlier.

P.O.V Wyatt

Aadi is back and I am mixed by his lack of reaction too me checking his body as I know with the situation he has probably now bathed with others due to restriction during deployment but I miss the small blush and balling fist as he stand naked in front of me, made me feel it was embarrassment over something else and truly helped my imagination over these past months he is gone .

He hangs out with family and his family friends before he is all mine for the next six months as he advances I will be there for his 24th birthday and enjoy watching him naked with an excuse of medical checking on him.

But this time is different as he is much worse off even having his heart rate far too fat or slow compared too it stopping and starting quickly las time though it last through the whole time.

His skin rips with his muscles withering and blood boiling till finally all stops and he is unconscious, but then comes the mental part and all though not visible it is clearly horrific as he is unconscious again before he checks himself over properly.

But he wakes up and gets up to wash when his skin rips open from the inside and blood pours from his legs and he collapses at the bathroom, he sends out help energy and I know it is nothing like the last time. Entering he is so pale he looks dead and his veins and muscles have a distorted look too them while he can't even speak as it rips his throat and closing his eyes is causing them too turn bloodshot, he looks one step away from death and as I scan I know he will only get better when his body transformation is done most likely on the next cycle completion.

I carry him to his room and go to my father too inform him of the situation, he gives me a look as he knows my interest in him is not at all as a guarantee but more in a sexual way, although not yet romance or love it is most definitely a possessive type that makes it hard too not just claim him out right. 

But I can build his dependence now with taking care of him as his main medic and will be able too do everything for him now too satisfy my possessiveness in a good way that will increase his thoughts and emotions too me.

I know it will probably be for only a few months but these few months will be very nice for me I will enjoy them while they last.

Father approves the leave and warns me not to go too far.

Of course I won't, I don't want too scare him off.

P.O.V. Lucien

Aadi is unable too leave or do anything but lay in bed and be taken care of and Wyatt has done so but no matter how I look at it even a main medical provider wouldn't change the clothes or help him take a piss like he is.

Slowly I look more at the way his hands linger his gaze that looks at unnecessary spots and his too much attention he is giving my son.

He isn't just taking care of him, he is interested in him in a less then appropriate way.

I begin too interfere at the three and a half months time too try and get them together less but he says I can't do too much as I am not professionally trained and if I do anything wrong I could cause him severe pain and discomfort during this weak period forcing me to step down.

I finally reach my breaking point at four month mark and confront him.

"WHAT do you think you are doing to my child if you have such interest then tell him not mess with him without his knowledge or consent of what you are doing. I will report this if you continue and we will see then what Aadi thinks of you when he realizes what you have done." I tell him, but it seemed more amusing too him then upsetting.

"I am the son of the General of the continent protection unit and the brother of the future general of the other world army, if you report me who would believe it after all I could have anyone why would I focus on your child. I will remain in charge of him and you will lose rights too visit or see him, what do you think will happen then." He says with a smirk clearly aware he is in a position I can't touch, and as Aadi's protector upsetting him could put Aadi in trouble.

I glare but I know my situation is limited, "If he says no you back off, if he says he isn't interested you don't go any farther or I will try my all too end you." I say then return back too Aadi's side to keep watch, I will tell Nilan of this later and he will join Aadi in the future from this point on ward.

When the four and a half months time comes Aadi's body begins too advance once more and all I can do is sit outside the containment room and pray it all works out.

P.O.V. Aadi

Spending four and a half months in bed with everything being done by Wyatt has made me go from mortified too numb too it, finally I am finishing my time in this bed and I will be finished with this section of the cultivation. What comes after the transformation I m unsure but all I can do is hope it isn't as bad as this, the mental condensing happens without me starting it but while I am asleep.

It finishes quickly and now is time for me too begin the final step, pushing the spirit energy I feel my skin rip and my eyes begin too pop, my hair all falls out and small parts like my voice bow and urethra which are on the outside area peel and burst out falling off nearly on it's on as it is replaced with energy merged parts.

Now that it is over the pain was no where near the last time and was far easier too bear I am even still awake after it is finished, I take a sleep then begin the mental energy one and like the last one it gets the small parts missed like the smaller nerve endings and the ones in the furthest spots by the time I am done I feel good, like really good as though all parts of my body are finally in sync with each other in a long time.

I get up and most the sludge comes off easily but that is when I get woozy and off balance as I feel my energy in my spirit veins begin to gather at my dantian area I rush back too the room from the shower and begin too meditate with the plant in my hand and a flood of warmth goes through me.

I am in a haze of warmness like a hot bath and everything feels like it is just right, I awake from the feeling too the plant no longer in the pot and my dantian fully formed with a tattoo on my chest of a flower bud not having opened yet. I send my mental energy too my dantian and get a response like from the flower and I realize the flower had fully merged with me becoming my dantian.

I look at the empty pot and feel a mix of emotions some I can't even tell, but I sit it down and begin to meditate and both my mental and spirit energy responded and began to intermingle slowly a small amount of this mixed energy wrapped around my heart forming a sac around it.

I awaken and notice I am in a perfect state and a third new energy has now joined my already existing two, I wonder what name the tower has given this one.

I leave the room to Lucien rushing me and Nilan looking worried while Wyatt stands there with a hard expression, I was in the room for a whole year and my 25th birthday had passed 6 months ago.

I had been in there far longer then anticipated.
