Getting stronger part- 2

The taste of the fruit was so bitter; that Gil had an urge to spit it out. As a king, he never ever had a taste of bitter food. His meals was prepared by the best chefs of Uruk; this was the first time; he was eating something bitter.

Gil controlled his urge and consumed the whole damn fruit. Baron smiled and Izayoi started laughing; looking at Gil's face.

If they are not trained enough to control their subconscious; the user may die. It must be eaten with the tears of a holy animal if the consumer wants to survive. These holy animals include dragons or Hatae.

But, Gil beings a spiritual being and a Half-God; this didn't affect him. Gil's face twisted as his whole body was going through a huge change. It was strengthening his already perfect body. He was born with Divinity of a God and flesh of highest of mortals. The consumption of the fruit made his body stronger the ever.

Baron: "Martial Arts Enhancement and Charyeok Enhancement, these are the fundamental function of these fruits."

Izayoi: "Is he?"

Baron: "Don't worry. He is just fine."

The process completed and Gil; despite the taste, he swallowed the whole fruit, and then noticed the change in his body.

Gil: "*Cough* What the hell is Charyeok?", he said while coughing.

Baron: "A power system used in the other world, that I just came from."

Izayoi: "Mind explaining the details."

Baron: "Charyeok literally means the act of borrowing strength from spirits. Charyeok is when someone makes a contract with a supernatural entity in which the contractor is able to borrow their power.  

Upon accessing that spirit's power, they're able to shape it through their imagination and empathy as their own unique ability. It appears that whenever Charyeok or divine power is used, it draws from the user's life energy which appears as violet coloured energy. Hence, if someone uses their Charyeok too long, they experience intense fatigue and other physical drawbacks."

Izayoi: "How strong are they?"

For a battle maniac like Izayoi, the power level of the opponent is all that matters. Knowing methods are just good for strategy.

Gil: "How the hell does that work?"

Baron: "There are different ways that Charyeok manifests and is used, those various ways being divided into 6 classes, which are:

Weapon Summoning and Reinforcement: As the name suggest this is when Charyeok is manifested as a force that The user summoned as their weapon or used to bolsters their current weapon.

Summoning: This is when Charyeok is manifested as a distinct entity or object which the user can control. These entities/objects can also be 'equipped' to the user, altering their appearance and increasing their natural skills. These Charyeok may be invisible to all but the user, unless they choose to reveal it. An example is King of the Earth and Haetae.

Parasitic: This type of Charyeok manifests itself as an entity that lives on a part of the user's body, spreading and growing more powerful with every use. It is currently unknown what will happen if it completely spread, but it is assumed that the user will gain vast power or be consumed by the entity.

Direct Contract: As the name implies this is a contract in which a person is directly infused with power by the god, usually by contacting them within their own Realm. Direct contracts also allow the user to more efficiently communicate with the god who gives them power.

Lineal Descendant: A more advanced form of a direct contract, in which the individual receiving power becomes an avatar of the god and assumes their form, as well as gaining access to the full range of that god's power. This is only possible because the person receiving power is a lineal descendant of that god.

Key: A key is a rare and very powerful type of Charyeok which can seal and awaken abilities in mortals and gods alike. Aptly described as the existence that will drag the gods from heaven, Keys are Charyeok born from intense hatred and wrath. The gods whose power is channelled are powerful entities that oppose the gods of heaven and seek vengeance against them."

Gil and Izayoi absorbed whatever Baron told, carefully.

Baron: "So are you ready to leave?", he asked Izayoi.
