Doing Quests I
Cyrus decided to do one of the 3 missions he got, while thinking which one to do he was walking around the core regions, Caitlin easily found him by following the crystallized line of his, she asked him to fly instead of walking considering that he trapped in place more than a dozens of larva's who couldn't run away because of his bloodline, after thinking for a while Cyrus decided to go for Zac.
After the larva's hunting job, he knew which territories were around the Hell Sea, the biggest territory is Alin Forest it's surrounds almost entirely the Hell Sea and most of the other territories, North to the Hell Sea you can find Razon walleyes, South is the Naxin Caves, East is the Zac Peak, and west is the Narum Mountains, he was still clueless of where the place was where the creature that killed the ancients was...
Cyrus started to fly towards East, he was greatly interested in the so called ability of control, after flying for a few days Cyrus arrived to the Zac Peak.. He was first hand experiencing why no one was flying at that high..
[Host Hp has hit 0] [Reincarnation] [BM: - 1 200 000] -> [BM: 240 732 110] [Brace for impact Host is falling like a rock]
[Congratulations Host for gaining lightning affinity]
[Host Hp has hit 0] [Reincarnation] [BM: - 1 200 000] -> [BM: 239 532 110]
Cyrus looked up the quest once again just to make sure he was on the right place..
[Chain Mission [1/6]] [New Mission] [Kill 1000 creatures at the territory of zac:~Rewards: Control:???] [Unique Passive Skill]
[Side Note: I was pretty young when I chosen an evolution path without any limbs so I had to find a way to have the ability to touch, to hold things or to fight, I created the ability to control not objects but my essence which is eternal until our essence is fully devoured by an another being we can't die, that's why we still exist, even though our essence was eaten by lower staged beings they can't refine our essence to be theirs so we exist, with this I'm still able to use fraction of my ability to control]
Well at least I'm here.. looking around Cyrus saw some weak Larva's that might have the essence he needed so he killed them.
[Kill 13/1000]
Cyrus started to search for creatures but he soon realized that it won't be that easy even after searching for hours he couldn't find anymore of the larva's.. than suddenly a lightning stuck near him so he looked up.. than he saw levitating larva's enjoying the constantly hitting Lightning's.
He found a pretty easy way to catch some extra by simply flying by them and than the crystallized larva's would fall that he could eat later.
[Kill 398/1000]
[Kill 399/1000]

[Kill 999/1000]
[Kill 1000/1000]
[Congratulation Host for Killing 1000 creatures] [Mission [1/6] Completed] [Unique Passive Skill:Control]
[Congratulation Host for Gaining a New Skill:{Control: A way to use Essence bend it for your needs, you can control objects with it and infuse your essence into skills to give them an additional perk which will give higher Dmg or increases the accuracy of the skill]
System give the ability of [Control] to all 3 factions, originals I wanted to give this to Lilith faction, but on second thought all of my descendants could use control since they are either larva's or lings.
*Ding* [Chain Mission [2/6] Creat] [New Mission] [Gather Pure Earth Essence from plants [0/100%]] [Foundation] [Mutation: Essence Control Core] [1/4]
[Side Note: The skill control have shown the way for me, because of it I was able to gain my essence affinity, it was essential for my survival so I took it 1 step forward and tried to creat an [Essence Control Core] which could help increase my power of control. The creation of the ECC starts at the foundation, it had to be strong but at the same time it needed to be formable, so I started to consume Different kind of Essences to find the perfect, i have discovered that the Earth Essence is the perfect choice for that, for perfect and study Foundation I had to eat entire forests]
Cyrus was instantly confronted with the problem of not seeing any plants in his surroundings, he didn't want to go back to Alin Forest this soon but he needed earth essence so he left Zac Peak and headed towards Alin Forest. Flying around the Forest Cyrus was confronted with a painful fact, he might have to eat a third of the Forest if he can't find anything that contains large quantity of earth essence.. [0 -> 10% /100%] [BM: 239 532 110 -> 249 432 110] [lvl 0 -> 1 /999]
Cyrus decided to had towards his old cave, since there were useful plants.. even tough it wasn't his goal but he didn't forgot slaughtering anything that came in his way to gain bonus essence..
[Congratulation Host for earning the title: Butcher of Alin Forest] [ +10% chance to attract the attention of a King/Queen]
Cyrus was about to land when a system notification rang out..
[Warning, Hostile Life Form detected]
[Scanning]
…
…
[Name:Amaga] [Title: King Of The Alin Forest]
[Hp 250 000/250 000] [Dmg 40 000 x 1 =40 000] [Attack speed 1] [Armor 150 000] [Peak of Stage 5] [Scaled Earth Dragon Winx]
[25 times bigger than host]
[Heavily armored] [Skills unknown]
"How dare you slaughter lives at my territory? Don't you know that it's a act that is punished by death?" Said Amaga angrily.
System can I cut of its wings?
[No it's way to sturdy, every parts of his body plated with heavy scales, I suggest host to go near him than leave... the Crystallization should be able to render him incapable of using his wings or any movement what so ever]
"No I didnt know sorry" Said Cyrus while flying next to him.
System how long would it take to get enough vapor on him?
[Around 5 minutes, keep talking Host]
"I feel that your one of us, who is your pack leader?" asked Amaga.
"Ashura" Said Cyrus.
"You must be one of the new recruits for Asura pack, she have been hit hard, some random stage 5 came wrecking havoc in our territory while we were in the Narum mountains" Said Amaga.
[Host Time is up]
How long will it take for him to break free?
[Host he will need at least 4 hours]
So I have 4 hours to finish this mission.. sight looks like I have to stop killing if I don't wanna attracts their attention.. I would rather do the quest than being chased by five stage 5s.
Cyrus suddenly used [Accelerate] and left the stund Amaga who soon realized that he couldn't move at all while falling towards the ground like a lifeless bird.
[10% -> 20% /100%] [BM: 249 432 110 -> 259 432 110]
[20% -> 30% /100%] [BM: 259 532 110 -> 269 432 110]

[90% -> 100% /100%] [BM: 329 532 110 -> 339 432 110]
[Congratulation Host for gathering enough Earth Essence] [1/4]
[Suggesting host to search for somewhere quite, this might take some time]
This?
[Host have the Earth Essence so now is the time to build the foundation for the control core]
How?
[Host needs too circulate the Earth Essence inside the body similar to how your blood flows through your veins, with the help of the Earth element your veins will be cleansed from impurity's and become stronger]
Cyrus started circulate the Earth Essence in his body, it didn't take long before the impurity's left his body at a form of black smoke and his body color changed from pitch black obsidian to a mixture of black and pink.
System why do I have so much impurity's? Asked Cyrus while smoking like a factory...
[Host resurrection skill uses big quantity of biomass to restore the body conditions to healthy, the biomass that host uses is not exactly clean, it comes from a lot of different creatures and plants which gets burned when host instantly uses it]
So from now on I will be emitting black smoke every time i resurrect?
[No, Host your body is currently clean and will stay clean because of the Earth Essence, but it's worth mentioning that in the near feature host might need 1 more purification]
Why?
[The Control Core will be created from essences so it's logical that the Essences need to be pure too]
So clean body = clean essence?
[Yes]
So how long does it take for the smoking to stop?
[3 hour's]
Time to take a nap than.. wake me up when it's done..
[Time is up Host, also Host Body became incredibly pure]
*Ding* [Chain Mission [3/6]] [New Mission] [Gather Lightning Essence from the territory of Zac] [0/100%] [Shell] [Mutation: Essence Control Core] [2/4]
[Side Note: After the purification i left the Forest or better say what left from it and went back home to my own territory, there I was stuck by lightning as per usual, but something new happened, after gaining enough Earth Essence the lightning didn't left my body and it's density inside me grew greatly with each strike, which soon created a new element that I never known before]
So I have to take a lightning head on... let's go than..
Cyrus started his journey back to the territory of Zac, he decided to make a little detour so he could avoid any confrontation with Amaga, he wasn't in the mood to deal with him, also he was quite far away from leveling up, so it didn't really matter.. soon he arrived at the Zac territory, he started flying as high as he could.. soon he started hearing lightning strikes closer and closer.
Well hear goes nothing!
[Host Hp has hit 0] [Reincarnation] [BM: - 1 200 000] -> [BM: 338 532 110] [Brace for impact Host is falling]
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" Cyrus screams echoed through the night with the sound of thunder..
[Congratulations Host for upgrading low grade lightning affinity 0 -> 1]
So it won't hurt soon?
[Lightning strikes here 5 times hotter than the sun.. so host Fire affinity going to be effected sooner or later, and it doesn't works like that with lightning]
Damn..
[Host Hp has hit 0] [Reincarnation] [BM: - 1 200 000] -> [BM: 337 332 110]
[Lightning Essence] [0 -> 1% /100%]
Your kidding me? This is even worse than the last mission, also feeling my flesh vaporizing hurts like hell..
…

[Host Hp has hit 0] [Reincarnation] [BM: - 1 200 000] -> [BM: 218 532 110]
[Congratulations Host for upgrading High grade lightning affinity 2 -> 3]
[Congratulations Host for upgrading High grade Fire affinity 0 -> 1]
[Lightning Essence] [99% -> 100% /100%]
[Congratulation Host for Gathering enough Lighting Essence] [2/4]
Finally I'm done!! Said Cyrus before passing out, a few days later he woke up looking terrible, his body was still hurt, because of the Earth Essence the lightning didn't left his body instead every time he moved lightning channeled through his veins.
So what is the new element?
[Host didn't got anything new]
Than what now?
[Host the Lightning Essence combined with Earth Essence has the ability to creat magmatic fields but they don't last longer than seconds]
So what do I do now?
[I suggest host to use [Burst] it should be able to rise the Blood flow to the maximum possible speed inside the body, with that the lightning circulate speed should rise too]
Cyrus used [Burst] than passed out from the pain that was caused by the constantly striking lightning when ever it had made a full circle in his body, soon an invisible magnetic field appeared around his body, but for some reason it suddenly disappeared as Cyrus blood flow was decreasing.
Did I do it?
[Yes, but's it's problematic]
Why?
[If Host need the magnetic field for the control core, it can be difficult when host is passed out]
Oh...
What's next?
