Book of Forgings

"It seems Genling roots leave my body after I ingest them, the acidic properties rid my body of toxic and pass with it" Jacob never understood at first but now he did. Jacob continued to read the book of forgings for hours. He didn't know how much time passed but he kept reading.

The book was valuable, and it described the body in a unique way. It mentioned things that he never understood like Divine Soul among other things. After a few more hours he finished the whole book.

"That was good. If I forge my bones, I will be almost like an Iron fortress. That would make me stronger than many warriors." Jacob checked the time that the system had given him but it was still going

"12:34:32"

"Jeez, this is going to take a minute. Even these guys fell asleep" They were not as creepy when you blocked how they looked out of their mind. Jacob figured this was why he was so weak against many ants was because of their appearance.

He was now left with nothing to do and it was the first time he had this kind of quiet time by himself. Thinking back on the past made him depressed. He wanted none of that for himself and ended up getting crippled because of the family's jealousy and greed.

Thinking back on it, Jacob wasn't entirely sad because the system allowed him a path to get stronger, although he did not understand the path he was heading on, it was interesting, to say the least, and Mo Zen and Mo Wen would get what we're coming to them.

"I wonder how they will all react, Last time they saw me I was crippled and I looked weak and wrinkly, The look on their faces when I come back from the dead to haunt them will be priceless." Jacob laughed to himself. "I don't really care for revenge, but will I make my family die in vain? I don't even know where my father is, but I'm not sad. I'm just living my life….and it feels good.

Living on my own will, every decision in mine solely. It makes living here not so bad, So I can't say I'm mad. If I think about it, I don't mind what I have now since I have the system. I feel the fear of failure and death. This is what it means to live life" Jacob never felt a need for revenge, he wondered if something was wrong with him.

He even thought of Acacia, but he couldn't hate her either "Maybe she went a little far, but she was just frustrated. I hurt her for years and I never knew how it affected her. I was the selfish one. I listened to whatever my family told me to do."

"I'll just move on with my life" He decided to forget them because they most likely weren't thinking about him.

"My life... What's next? Will I just always live in the jungle? Right now it doesn't sound too bad but it will be annoying after I time her. Where will I go? Everyone on the planet knows my face"

Jacob was finally thinking about himself for a long time. The most he could do was get stronger for now, but the lack of human interaction would have got to him.

"Surely I will be able to find a girl right? Maybe she will be lost and naked and I'll swoop her up from the Jaws of danger and she will fall in love with me, hahaha! It's foolproof" Jacob was talking to himself, the lack of human interaction made him partly senile.

"I'm talking to you guys, you can't even listen to me while I'm planning out my future. Whatever I choose will affect you too", Jacob scoffed at the termite larvae but they continued to sleep.

"Sigh, I'm definitely talking to myself, who am I fooling. But I haven't seen another person in a month or two, I don't even know where I am and for all I know I am millions of miles away from the next major city. Crenos is big so I could be stuck in this Jungle for decades walking in one direction" Jacob reasoned with himself.

Then he had a lightbulb Idea "I could continue to get stronger and If I get faster I can get out of here in under a year tops. I could even sneak into society and take a commercial spacecraft off the planet and go somewhere else" he paused then said, "If I'm able to do that and max out my system surely I will be able to be someone of powerful status, Even king Urcen will steer clear of me."

Jacob felt his idea was good and it made him excited. He could not do anything without the system so he was eager. He tried to fall asleep so he could make his plans happen faster. He fell asleep pretty quickly.

In outer space where there was nothing except for the mind-numbing view of outer space with beautiful stars and interstellar constellations. There was an old man with no eyes.

"He will be good for the experiment"

The voice sounded neutral, it sounded like neither man nor woman. After it said that it went quiet and never said anything else.

Soon after Jacob started dreaming of fighting people with otherworldly power. He wielded everything with his hand. People easily died under the might of his power. The dream made Jacob smile. After the war was finish, he killed all his enemies.

"Lady, You are truly beautiful. I'm glad that you married me, I hope you will take me back, Our engagement was purely business but I hope we can have something more intimate. I have truly loved you even though you never shared your intimate side with me, please grant me this wish"

Jacob went in for a kiss to this woman, but it turned to an Old man with no eyes.
