14: Chapter 14 - Karyu

Chapter 14 - Karyu

___________________________

In some place near the Holy Spirit Village, a boy can be seen checking his surroundings while appreciating them at the same time.

"I really can't believe that I can travel to another world." John was surprised and then looked at his body. When he was still in the white room earlier, He asked the system if he could turn back to 6 years old, the system then said that he can modify his age, his parents, and his history. He then decided to modify his age and his history and decided to transfer his body near the Holy Spirit Village.

"Well, now that I'm here I think it's time to find out what my spirit is." John smiled and looked at the village ahead. He was about to walk when suddenly..

[World-level Quest triggered]

[Description: Unify the mainland and kill four God Kings.

Rewards: "New Feature: Job", Job Change Card, 50,000,000 God coins, World Ticket x 2

Note: The host need to complete the quest before he can go back to earth.]

'Ohhh, well, I already planned to unify the mainland when I chose this world but killing four God Kings were not on it as I don't have any reason to kill them but with this quest, I think I have to think of another plan." John think for a while before starting to head towards the center of the Holy Spirit Village where the Spirit Hall was located.

Well, Spirit Hall can be located everywhere on this continent and the one situated in this village is just a subsidiary hall.

When John arrived, he stand behind the other children. John looked around and saw an old man with a young boy on his side. John smiled as he knows that this old man is Grandpa Jack and the young boy is Tang San, the protagonist of this world.

Tang San as if he felt something looking at him, turned around and then saw John. John just smiled at him and then shift his focus at the young man dressed in completely in brilliant white cloak on his back.

'The story is finally starting. I can't wait to see what my spirit is.' John smiled while looking at the young man fully knowing who he is.

"I don't have time, so let's begin immediately." Su Yuntao said.

Su Yuntao then ordered the children to line up.

"I am called Su Yuntao, a twenty sixth ranked Spirit Grand master, and I will be your guide. Now, I will have you undergo spirit awakening one by one. Remember, regardless of what happens, do not be afraid" Su Yuntao said.

Su Yuntao then took six black stone and one sparkling blue crystal ball. He then placed the six black stone on the ground in a form of hexagon.

"Watch carefully, Lone Wolf Body Enhancement." Su Yuntao said and then became a creature like a werewolf. The children scream in fear after seeing him like that.

"I said don't be afraid. This is my spirit, Lone wolf. If one of you is capable of becoming a spirit master in the future, they will also be able to employ similar abilities." Su Yuntao said proudly.

"Let's begin" Su Yuntao called the children one by one. He was very disappointed as all the spirit awakened are all useless such as sickles, pickaxes, handkerchief, blue silver grass, etc. with no spirit power at all. He was now already exhausted but he still intended to help the children complete the awakening process.

John, on the other hand was immersed on the sound of the notifications in his head.

[Initial Skill: Lone Wolf Body Enhancement has been picked up.]

[...has been picked up.]

[...has been picked up.]

John was about to asked the system when suddenly he noticed that it was already Tang San's turn.

At the process of awakening Tang San's spirit, Su Yuntao was really excited as many golden flecks that was even more than the previous children possessed together can be seen and he sensed that something powerful spirit would appear. But his expectation shattered as he saw a blue silver grass floating in Tang San's hand.

"Aahh, a useless spirit again. You boy, come here." Su Yuntao called John. John was about to head forward when suddenly Tang San interrupted.

"Uncle, you still have not checked my spirit power." Tang San said.

Su Yuntao was not interested but by Tang San's persistence, he gave in.

After Tang San touched the blue crystal, Su Yuntao was dumbfounded all of the sudden and then said "Heavens, It's actually innate full spirit power"

Tang San who heard Su Yuntao words, asked "Uncle, what is innate full spirit power?"

Su Yuntao then explained some of his knowledge about spirit power.

After explaining for a while, Su Yuntao then looked at John "You, come here quick."

John after calming down, moved forward. Su Yuntao then started.

In the processed of John's awakening, he felt something warm inside him. He felt a power was being injected on him for some reasons.

[New feature has been unlocked]

[Spirit: A power that was unique in Douluo Dalu. Having spirit will allow a person to become a spirit master.]

[Spirit: Karyu]

[Spirit Power: 40]

John was surprised when he knew what his spirit is as this was not to his expectation but he was more surprised to see his spirit power. John had a lot questions to ask but he was still in the processed of awakening.

'System, use the universal identity to hide my spirit power or maybe change it to small one as I don't want to make a scene late.' John asked the system.

[Yes, in what number does the host want to change it?]

'Change it to 5' John replied. The system then changed it.

[Spirit Power: 5 (40)]

After seeing it changed, John sighed and finally calmed down.

"What spirit is this, It looks like a tattoo." Su Yuntao was surprised to see John's spirit but did not dwell deeply on it as he thinks that it's still a useless one.

"Let's checked your spirit power." Su Yunato said.

John then touched the blue crystal.

"Your spirit power is 5. I don't know your spirit is but you have the qualification to become a spirit master." Su Yuntao said.

"Well, I'll leave first as I still have to go another village." Su Yuntao said leaving immediately.

After John saw Su Yuntao leaving, he then looked around and saw Tang San looking at him.

John smiled at him and said "Become strong or else you won't survived" before leaving.

Tang San was shocked by John's words. Tang San just looked at John's back while frowning, his guts was telling him that John was dangerous.

"What's wrong Tang San?" Granpa Jack asked.

"Grandpa Jack, do you know that child?" Tang San replied.

"No, I don't seem to remember him. I think maybe he came from another village. Why do you ask, is there a problem?" Grandpa Jack asked.

"No Grandpa Jack, but I found that child is very mysterious." Tang San replied.

"Well, let's go home and see your father." Grandpa Jack said.

___________________________

A lake far from the village,

"Sigh, It's really more exciting seeing it in person than reading or watching it online." John said while resting in some tree in the lake.

'Let's take a look at my spirit.' John then summon his spirit.

'It really looks like an ordinary tattoo but I know the power this tattoo will give me. Just knowing the name Karyu, I already know that this is the flame dragons in the anime Flame of Recca. Hehehehehe' John was laughing inside from what spirit he awakened.

[Spirit: Karyu

Description: The flame dragons in the anime of Flame of Recca. Each dragon has its special ability and power that can help the host. To summon a dragon, the host must write the name of the dragon.]

'Hmmm, Maybe the flame dragons will become my spirit ring every time I advance my spirit rank' John said while guessing how his spirit works when suddenly he found a problem.

'System, is my guess right?' John confirmed first before asking the problem he found.

[Yes]

'System, as far as I remember, there are only 8 flame dragons, If I advance to a Titled Douluo, should I hunt down a fire dragon spirit beast in this world?' John asked the system with curiosity.

[No]

'Hmmm. Wait, whattt???' John was surprised that he can't hunt a spirit beast to become his 9th spirit ring.

[The host need not to worry as there are 9 flame dragons.]

'Huhhhh!!??, I can't seem to remember that there are 9. Unless a flame master regrettably died where another flame dragon will be born.' John frowned and was thinking for the reason but no matter how much he think nothing comes to his mind..

'Hmmm, wait. Flame master died.....died....died....System, did R-Recca died?' John was surprised and then asked the system.

[Yes]

'Ohh shitt. He died?, How did he die?, No wait, If he became the 9th flame dragon, what was his powers?' John was surprised but suddenly panicked again after knowing that there is another problem.

'Hey system, what was his powers?' John asked again.

[The host need to discover it himself.]

'Tsk, well let's think about that when I will become a Titled Douluo.' John was annoyed for a bit after the system did not answer his question.

'Then, can you explain why my spirit power is 40 and why was the leveling section in my status disappear?' John asked curiously.

[When the host entered this world, the host stats converted into spirit power. The host level was removed as the host will follow the power scaling of this world. The host can only level his spirit power through killing spirit beasts or spirit masters.]

'Ohhh, then does that mean I'm already a peak Spirit Elder. Improving my spirit power only through killing, it means I need to kill a lot. Sigh. ' John was surprised and then sighed.

'System, how can I summon the flame dragons to become my spirit ring?' John asked.

[The host just need to write their name.]

'Maybe I could just write their name on the air just like what Recca did. Okay, let's try this.' John then tried to write the name of first flame dragon.

**Nadare**

After writing the name, Nadare, a spirit ring then started to form on his back and suddenly a flame dragon with a thick eyebrows and a long distinctive mustache and has soulless blue eyes came out. The dragon then roared and then moved towards John's back and became a tattoo.

'Why does this tattoo planted on my back and why does it shape likes a pattern.' John pondered for a while before continuing summoning other flame dragon.

[Spirit ring absorbed]

[1st spirit ring:

Nadare: 1st flame dragon

Description: As a dragon, it has thick eyebrows and a long distinctive mustache and has soulless blue eyes.

Skill: Shapes the flames into numerous fireballs that can be shoot out at once. The fireballs can be controlled and the size can be manipulated.]

'Well, It's just like the original. Let's summon the other three, then.' John after seeing the skill description, he then summoned the other three flame dragons.

[Spirit rings absorbed]

[2nd spirit ring:

Saiha: 2nd flame dragon

Description: As a dragon, he had eight eyes and a single horn on his head.

Skill: Shapes the flame into a blade-shaped. With the power to control the temperature of the flame, the blade can become unbreakable and can cut anything.

[3rd spirit ring:

Homura: 3rd flame dragon

Description: As a dragon, he had a long four-jawed mouth with fangs.

Skill: Shapes the flame into the form of a whip. It is not just for offense but it is also use to enhance strength.

[4th spirit ring:

Setsuna: 4th flame dragon

Description: He has four facial marking and a normally closed eye.

Skill: Shapes the flame into the form of an instantaneous flare. At the moment it opens its eye in the middle of its face all those who stare into it will be burnt. The temperature of the flames can be controlled to control the amount of damage it gives. As a blind flame dragon, it has the ability to sense heat and thus can ignore illusions.

After summoning the flame dragons, they each planted their tattoo on John's back.

'Why does the tattoos form two dragon wings. Hmmm, maybe it will eventually become a full dragon when I become a Titled Douluo.' John said while looking at his back in the reflection of the lake.

'System, why does my spirit rings all white?' John suddenly asked the system.

[Karyu's age and power can't be measure by this world, hence, making it all white]

John was thinking for a while before coming to a conclusion. 'Hmmm, maybe this world decides that Karyu is a new spirit beast, thus starting his new age.'

While John was resting immersed on studying his spirit, a rustling sound can be heard on the other side of the lake. John noticed and looked.

A wolf type spirit beast came out staring at John like a prey.

John looked at the wolf and then said 'Scan'.

[Name: Silver Wolf

Age: 15 years old

Skill: Agility]

"Perfect, let's test my power with this spirit beast." John looked at the spirit beast and then motioned his hand to write something.

**Nadare**

"Nadare, come forth" John said and then a dragon came out. Nadare then turned into a fireball. John attacked the spirit beast. The spirit beast tried to evade from the incoming fireball but John skillfully controlled the fireball and hit its body. The spirit beast then died and spirit ring came out. John was not shocked as he one-hit kill a spirit beast, he was shocked because he could see white balls coming out from its body.2
