First Meal

Dean was in pain all over his entire body, his blood was still continuously flowing out of him making him weaker by the second. The familiar feeling of death appeared for the second time.

Not wanting to die Dean started moving, he didn't know where to go though. He was at a forest where many kind of plants exist, he looked around the area and saw unfamiliar plants all around him, but as he tried thinking of the medicinal plant a memory suddenly emerge from his mind.

A blue colored flower appeared in his mind, as he saw this plant Dean immediately made a quick decision that this flower was the one he was looking. The image in his head was a flower that held a blue color. Having six petals that layered on top of each other made, the overlapping image of petals gave it a somewhat mystical look.

Dean pictured it clearly in his mind but his problem was still the same as he did from before, he still didn't know where that flower was located. Without any direction of where he should go, Dean was left with only a picture in his head.

No direction of where to go Dean crawled his way towards a tree that was near him, after he did so a little number appeared front of him, the numbers was not tangible as he was not able to hold it on his hand. The floating numbers was 230, focusing on this number Dean saw one more thing beside it this thing was the letter "m".

"System, what is this?" Dean didn't stop crawling on the ground, but that it didn't stop his urge to ask the system what he wanted to know.

[ This is the "System Assist", the previous owner of this body before host took over pass through a "Six Blue Healing Flower" thus the system was able to register the location of the spirit plant. The system assist can be activated in this type of mission if there's enough information, what host is seeing is the current distant of the spirit plant away from him in meters. ]

Dean listened to the explanation of the System as he continued to go forward, the distance was only 157m as of this time. His blood continued to drag his beat up body closer to the Six Blue Healing Flower.

When he reach the 100 meter mark Dean had already created a long trail of blood behind him. With his pale face and hurting body Dean started feeling his eyes were getting heavier, the feeling of death got stronger for him.

Dean did not stop even if his body was denying movement because of the exhaustion, continuing to drag his body Dean finally reached the place where the distance said 10m.

Dean raised his head from the ground and saw the Six Blue Healing Flower right in front of him, and with a last spurt of strength Dean push his body and stretch his right arm to the flower. Taking the flower from the ground, Dean immediately put it in his mouth.

He didn't care about the dirt that came with it as he continued to chew the flower, he chewed the petals the stem and the roots that was covered in dirt without any hesitation.

With the Six Blue Healing Plant Dean felt his body burning up, the wound in his stomach was particularly hurting him. He felt his organs inside his body to be itchy, his body was feeling hot from the inside and out making him feel uncomfortable.

After a few seconds that uncomfortable feeling turned to something pleasant, the burning feeling started subsiding and begun to feel lukewarm instead. The Six Blue Healing Flower was working like a magic for him, the stab wound that he had on his stomach was also beginning to close up, the blood that was continuously flowing out of him earlier also stopped, his body was recovering at an astonishing rate.

[ Ding

Recovery Complete: The stab wound and the damage internal organs have been repaired, host is now capable of moving around. The effect of the reward is still active, host have another 1 hour and 3 minutes before the effect goes away. ]

Hearing the system, Dean heave a sigh of relief, although he was not a doctor he knew that his wounds was already healed up and for some reason the system was able to monitor his body from inside and out. Dean was now healed and his wounds was now close, so his head do not carry that much burden anymore.

Pushing himself he sat down on the ground and look around his body, he touched his stomach that previously have a stabbed wound and checked if there were anything different about it, upon touching it he saw a scar about 6 inches.

This was scar came from that sword that run through his body, giving out a light laugh Dean took a deep breath and said "System where am I?"

[ Host is at the Green Beasts Mountain Range. ]

Dean rummage around his memories and checked if he missed out anything regarding the Green Beasts Mountain Range. Not long after he did, a memory of him or the former Dean reading a book about this place flashed in his mind.

In his memory about the Green Beasts Mountain Range was one of the five danger spot in the Southern Regions of the Sacred Saint Continent. A "Magical Beast" that have the strength on par with a God Class Fighter named "Green Hound" lived in the depths of the mountain range and act as a king that rules over this area.

Thinking how lucky he was that he wasn't able to reached any deeper than he was made Dean feel relieve. His strength was not even able to defeat a normal magical beast so thinking about a time if he were to face off against a God class beast made him feel cold sweat breaking out on his back.

[ Ding

Information Update: Magical Beasts God Class Green Hound Recorded, location Green Beasts Mountain Range. ]

Hearing the constant update of the system, Dean started to think of what the system truly is. In a place where no human can be seen a voice inside your head is the only thing in your head, with this thought in his mind Dean started thinking that he might be going crazy.

If nor for the earlier events which was weirder than a voice in his head, Dean just might ignore the voice as a passing wind. He had gone through reincarnation and living as a different person a voice inside his head was not that weird if he think it through.

The only thing that he found slightly amiss was that he did not know what it truly was, even when he tried to find anything about the system through his inherited memories nothing would come up. No previous information regarding the system interacting with the previous Dean and the system that was inside his head.

"System what are you?" Dean with no clue of where to start just asked the system directly.

[ Heavenly Devour System. ]

Hearing the answer of the system Dean felt quite irritated so he ask once more "I know what you're called what I meant was, what are you?"

[ System is a not sure, no data is in the system that can answer what the host wants to know. ] The System answered him once more.

"No data? Then what are you doing here and why are you inside my head?" Dean knew that the system was not lying to him so he went to his next question.

[ System do not have any data, but I have to correct host about one thing, System is not inside the head of Host's head but in the whole body of thee host. ]

Dean was startled by what the system had said to him, he thought that the system was inside his head but now that it was saying it was not made him think more about this while he was about to go into deep thought, the system continued to explain.

[ The only data that the system have about it is the host and the System is one body and mind, because System and Host is one body and mind the System automatically reconstructed. The bloodline and current body is different than the original before the Host is reincarnated into it. ]

Dean understood what the System was trying to say to him, the former Dean had a body that was weaker than most people and that body also didn't inherit any bloodline from his father making him a person without any bloodline powers.

These two problems of his made him practically a cripple in the eyes of many, a body that do not have any bloodline and no strength is useless in this world where the strong rules and weak obeys. But now it was different, Dean was reincarnated in this body and with carried the changing of the body and the bloodline the original Dean had.

Stretching his body out, Dean checked if there were any more injuries or wounds that he didn't know of. After a good time of checking all over his body he notice there weren't anything different from his memories, the only that was added was the scar in his stomach.

After finishing the final checking of his body, Dean suddenly felt his body was feeling hunger. Disregarding the Six Blue Healing Flower that he ate in order for him to finish the mission that was given to him by the system, he had not eaten for a while.

With his body healed and death avoided Dean decided to go out of the Mountain Range.

On his way out of the mountain range, Dean saw some people entering the Mountain Range, he saw about four groups of people and a of which carried some kind of weapon.

Dean knew these people were "hunters", magical beast hunters in particular. These kind of people go out of their way and sell the "Spirit Core" of the magical beast that they had hunted and killed.

A spirit core can be sold for a high price in the market, being use Alchemist and Blacksmiths spirit cores were high in demand. Because of this many martial artist tend to hunt magical beasts to earn money, a spirit core can fetch up a high price in the market after all.

But amongst the group that he saw one stuck out to him in particular, it was a group of youths around the age 15 to 16 wearing the same black clothes. The group of youths look close to one another they were laughing and teasing with one another.

Seeing this group of people made Dean remember how his Eldest Brother treated him back on earth. When he was at that age the thing that he loved doing the most was listening to his eldest tell him stories.

He knew that his eldest brother did kill him and the reason why he was in this world, but he was still the person that cared for him in the past. But, he was already dead in that world and now he was here living a new life that was given to him, he did not have to concern him about the life that he already lost.

Besides there wasn't anyone in that world that will care even if they learned he died. Maybe those brother of his will shed alligator tears and show others how they "cared" for him in the past, in order to keep their image in the face of the public.

He didn't have any other siblings and no lover, he did not even had any people that he could call his friends. Same with Dean in this world, no lover no siblings and no friends.

He clenched his fist and made up his mind, that he would live for himself and the Dean who had lost his life in the hands of his own family just like him.
