Cursed Flesh

He observed what seemed like 15 diameters Island and found so many things. The first was grasses, the second was water, then pieces of wood and a small tree that was growing. He also saw eleven sparkling stones that he believed might be something good.

He entered the Island and his wand vibrated.

'Hmm, that means whenever I go to someone's Island I will be weakened. Also if someone comes to my islands too.'

"That is good. It's good that I always stay on my Island for the beasts to enter. As they will always be weakened by my Island."

He began doing Magic, by pointing at everything and transporting them to his Island. Thankfully, the grasses seemed edible and the water was drinkable. He also got another plant sampling.

By the side of the Island at the far end, he saw a Chest!

"Shit! Is it a Curse Chest or what?"

He sighed and walked close to it but stayed five meters safe distance from it. He quickly bought +10 Luck from the Wand Shop. And suddenly he saw the Chest open and a thick liquid splashed outward. 

Then everything stopped. He took a sharp breath and thank God he checked whether it was Normal Chest or Cursed and it turned out to be Cursed Chest.

It was a vision!

He went back to his Island and took his Cursed Chest and came back. He placed his Cursed Chest about four meters from the other Cursed Chest.

He waited to see if they would fight but nothing happened. He then pushed his Cursed Chest close to the other Cursed Chest but he remained within a safe distance. And still, nothing happened but he waited.

Suddenly the other Cursed Chest began to tremble then it opened and splashed forward. The thick liquid melted the rocks and burned the air and it continued toward them.

Within the Cursed Chest, he saw a small piece of something that looked like flesh that squirmed and released the liquid. And looking at it he felt as if the Squirming Cursed Flesh was laughing at him.

Suddenly his Cursed Chest opened and the chains of spiky blades came out and attacked the Cursed Flesh at the same time it jumped back avoiding the liquid that melted everything. 

The moment the Spiky blade chain attacked the flesh the blade melted quickly. And that moment the first size Cursed Flesh made a good leap from its chest toward them. The air becomes thick and poisonous. 

Elias felt suffocated and rashes appeared on his skin. He felt an itchy and burning sensation at the same time.

His legs wobbled and he fell on His Cursed Chest, it was at that moment of weakness that he felt connected with his Cursed Chest after he touched it and as if it has become more powerful now that they are touching each other.

The spiky blade chains became more durable and were covered with a thin layer of something.

The presence of the Cursed Flesh alone made him unable to breathe, rashes covered his skin, made his body weak and also made the very Island turned black as if burned like charcoal. And now the Cursed Flesh was about to land on him, he knew one thing awaited him, squirming death!

His Cursed Chest flashed with its spiky blade chains attacking the Cursed Flesh. And yet they melted but at a slower rate than before and in no time the Cursed Flesh was dragged into his Cursed Chest. A second later it began to tremble as what was inside wanted to burst out!

While that was happening he was able to observe that the fog was stirred and started moving toward the Cursed Flesh wanting to bind it. Though it was very slow.

Another thing was the moment the Cursed Chest dragged the Cursed Flesh into its mouth, the Chest that contained Cursed Flesh burst to pieces and those pieces shot toward Elias's Cursed Chest and merged.

His Cursed Chest stopped trembling and relaxed. But, to him, it feels as if the Cursed Chest is dying!

He walked back to his Island and he was alarmed by what he saw. The grasses, the wood, the sampling and even some of the rock have become charred black. The puddle of water he was lucky to obtain was contaminated.

"What the hell is this Living Flesh!" He squealed!

[Cursed Flesh: It contaminated everything it came in contact with and also devoured all living things!]

'Damn that was dangerous. This might be more dangerous than the Cursed Chain Chest… does that mean all the things I meet will be dangerous?' He wondered. 

He checked what was left of the edible grass but found all of them were destroyed.

He checked himself and found the rashes had dried up and his strength was recovering.

He slid down on the sand and checked the Level of the Island, and found it at level 3. 

"How does the island level up?" He asked.

[Grade 0, level 3 Island]

~Adding valuable items on the Island will aid the Island to level up or increase its grade.

~Merging with another Island will level up the island.

~Absorbing the Islander's Mental Energy will level up the Island.

As he read it he wondered if maybe the second level up was due to him bringing the Cursed Chain Chest on the Island. As for mental energy, what does that mean? 

"What is Mental Energy?"

[A special energy due to the unique vibration frequency of a creature's brain activity. It was due to Mental Energy the Wand can connect with the Islander, it was due to Mental Energy the Islander can move the Island and many more.]

'Hmm, I understand why my Island is called a Baby Isle and that it is growing.' He thought.

From then Elias began to travel around trying to see if he could find a normal Island to conquer. In the end, he stops and sleeps to recover his stamina.
