Arrogant

As he opened his eyes to the familiar environment breathing in the smell of dry grass, looking around Jason couldn't contain his smile as he strode forward confidently not bothering to hide his presence as to him his only opponent was the mantis queen, moving forward Jason said to himself, I'm going to clear this field this time.

Moving towards a random direction Jason felt a presence approaching him rapidly, "a mantis" Jason muttered to himself as he didn't expect to be able to feel the mantis queen that easily, looking at the towering mantis in front of him anyone else would feel intimidated, but to Jason this was not something he would be bothered with as he could clearly see the stats of the towering mantis.

Race: mantis [elite]

Sex: female

Rank: F level-10

Skills: wind heart, rapid speed, command, soundless steps, stab, summoning

With a smile Jason said to himself, "well I guess I'll stretch out" as a dagger that was already flowing with genetic energy appeared in his hand, {burst} with a whoosh he had already appeared in front of the mantis swinging his dagger with full force, but as expected of the praying mantis which was best at its speed and reaction time his attack was blocked.

Jumping back Jason was surprised as he thought he would be able to kill the mantis in one hit, with a whoosh the mantis was in front of him again, but this time it was attacking, wasting no time Jason activated his bloodline ability and to his shock something was changing about it, "domain, dose everyone have a domain now" Jason thought to himself as he looked over to the mantis activating his domain which was his trump card against the mantis queen Jason was shocked to discover that it had no effect on the praying mantis at all as their domain canceled each other out.

"How" was the only question in Jason's mind as he looked over to the mantis who was following him closely, his domain was supposed to be of a higher level than that of the mantis which was just beginning to take form.

The mantis was attacking him violently while Jason blocked, but the mantis was ultimately faster as it used an opening in Jason's defense to attack him which Jason predicted as he used his skill metal fist to block, "BAM!" Jason was pushed back as he violently rolled on the ground making him feel a little dizzy as he struggled to get up, a small wound could be seen in his left arm.

"I've gotten arrogant," was the thought that entered his head as he looked towards the praying mantis with a look of thanks, as to which the praying mantis replied with a look of confusion, this enemy was about to die yet it was somehow grateful for it was the thought that crossed the mind of the praying mantis but this did not stop it from attacking as it swung his claws again.

"Bam!" The sound of another blocked attack was heard as Jason was pushed back rolling on the ground once again "ouch" Jason said as he looked at the now deepened injury on his left arm, thinking back to the past before he met the ant with a gravity domain Jason was shock as he realized that he had been side tracked by his domain and now thinking about it a little more, the Ant had an earth talent which he clearly didn't have, "so I have a fake domain" Jason muttered to himself.

But all that didn't matter as it looked like the mantis had stopped playing around and was about to give the killing blow, seeing this Jason took a long step back {burst} but the mantis was already close to him, looking at his left arm Jason used genetic energy to slow down the wound as he raised up his right arm intending to use the mantis dagger to block the incoming attack but to his surprise, the attack he was waiting for did not come as it praying mantis came to a stop.

Looking behind him Jason noticed that the grass at that side was much lower than the grass in front of him, looking at the mantis Jason just stood there on high alert as he and the mantis had a staring contest, this continued for some time until a faint cry was heard from afar as the mantis took off.

Feeling confused by what happened Jason walked forward, towards the terrain with lower grass as he was not intending to walk back to meet his doom, moving forward Jason passed by a few towering rocks as tall as a building with multiple holes in it, looking at one of the rocks Jason walked forward to investigate what it was but as he took another step forward Jason blade fell into a hole.

What's happening, said Jason as he could only see darkness all around him, he felt like he was in a slide as he felt the slightly moist walls of the hole as he slid down "whoooa" Jason felt himself slide down at a faster pace as if something was pulling him in, "why is this hole so deep, Jason yelled as he kept on sliding with a grunt.

It was so dark that he couldn't see anything, summoning his second dagger as he had lost the first one in the fall Jason used all of his strength to stab it into the wall of the slippery cave "Tang!" the sound of metal hitting solid rock was heard as Jason's dagger bounced back, it was to be expected as the dirt covered rocks of the cave seemed to be covered with faint genetic energy.

Trying again this time with more power than before Jason struck the dagger against the wall of the cave, and this time it seemed to work as he had stopped falling, with heavy breaths Jason checked his situation.

He had a small wound on his left arm, which didn't reduce his combat powers by that much, his still had over 70% of his genetic energy, and worst of all, he couldn't see, thinking fast Jason activated his bloodline ability {discerning eyes} and to his surprise, "I can see" was the first thought that entered his mind as he was elated, his biggest problem was now solved, looking around Jason was surprised as his vision was surprisingly clear, things seemed a little gray but other than that it was perfect.

"So where am I" Jason said to himself as he looked around, he saw a few holes in the wall of the cave, climbing further down the moist walls of the cave, Jason saw more and more holes in the wall, some connected by a bridge made of dirt, the bridges where more than big enough for a human to pass through, looking towards one of the bridges, you could see the dead body of a mantis.

Climbing towards that bridge Jason walked towards the lifeless body of the mantis, as he wanted to examine it, suddenly he heard the sound of something, something was moving towards him fast, "I got to get out of here said Jason as he jumped down his dagger creating sparks as he stabbed the wall with it.

Sliding down a bit Jason stayed still as he watched the bridge, he couldn't exactly see what was up there but he was sure it wasn't friendly, "shriek" a small sound was heard as Jason's body shook a little, he was familiar with that sound "an ant," after a short pause as if processing everything Jason yelled in his mind, "I'm in an ant nest," looking around Jason muttered to himself now I really got to go Jason said as he tried to find another way to get out, waiting for the ant to go away Jason climbed back up as he Jumped back onto the bridge.

"The corpse is gone," Jason muttered as he looked at the bridge, the dead body of the mantis was nowhere to be found, I have to get back up Jason said as he began climbing up the wall, but he was scared out of his wits at what he saw next, "Buzzz" the sound of wings flapping was heard, "oh shit," Jason said as he made his escape hiding in one of the holes in the wall, "what's up with this place" Jason said as he ran down the hole.

He was sure that the ants would have sensed his presence by now and sure enough "shrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriekk" a long shriek that echoed throughout the whole nest was heard, "ohh god I'm goanna die," walking down a random tunnel Jason came across his first ant, it was pitch black and was guarding the entrance to a cave.

Race: Ant worker [ergates]

Looking at the ant that seemed to be on high alert due to the loud shriek Jason ran up to it, as he activated his skill {burst} stabbing the ant and killing it immediately he made as little noise as possible, looking at gift cards on the floor Jason picked them up as he walked into the cave.

{Coins: 8}

{Blank attributes: 7}

{Earth talent}

{Genetic points: 9}

{Spiritual card: 2}

as soon as he got the earth talent he felt it fiercely resonating with the gravity domain as they merged as he walked into the cave he felt the surroundings get a little warmer, "eggs," looking at the room filled with hundreds of glowing green eggs Jason walked towards one of them as he pocked it with his fingers, "it's stronger than I would have imagine," he said to himself, ok that it I'm out of here" as he was about to walk away he got an idea, taking out his dagger he did something unexpected, stab, stab he stabbed the egg with his dagger twice as it turned into dust, leaving a few cards on the ground.

{Earth talent +1}

{Spiritual card: 3}

{Blank attributes: 3}

Hahahaha! Looking around the room Jason could easily, see about 700 eggs, he felt like he just won a lottery, "hahaha, brake, brake" Jason said as he ran towards the nearest eggs, "crack!" the sound of eggs breaking was heard as he picked up another set of cards.

"Hahahaaa" Jason laughed he broke a bunch of eggs not caring about the system notifications ringing in his mind, a few hours later there was no more eggs in the room, as Jason laid on the ground covered in dirt as he breathed in and out heavily, "ha, I thought I would have been found by now, and right on queue

Buzzzz the sound of wings flapping was heard as Jason saw two winged ant hovering slightly above the floors of the cave, looking at their stats Jason got into a fighting stance as he got ready to fight for his immortal life.
