Chapter 3. The Curse Of The Silver Eyed.

This time, the move, 'The Heavenly Spear' was succesful and he killed the monster whose smile became a nightmare for him.

The book said, "You have succesfully mastered the move, 'The Heavenly Spear' and also defeated a monster from a monster species, 'Zarche'. "

Right when book finished it's words, he started to feel weak for a second and then got normal.

The book continued, "The weapon techniques feed on your spirit energy. The spirit energy is equivalent to your life force but as you are an immortal being here, you have eternal spirit energy. "

He felt weak because the move consumed his spirit energy but it got regenerated in a second.

He caught his breath and pulled his spear out of the Zarche's body.

Suddenly, he felt a presence from the Zarche's body and took some steps back and right infront of his eyes, a shadow came out of it's body with the same creepy smile and suddenly, his hole again started forming and he felt a pain similar to that of the demo of the absolute pain.

He started screaming and crying. The golden light started shining and sucked the shadow inside it. In the process, he felt the pain same as absolute pain.

Even after the golden absorbed the shadow, the pain didn't disapeared. His hole disapeared but the pain didn't. The dead body of the Zarche stood up, it has no expression and it charged towards him. He used his spear to attack it but the dead body easily dodged it and kicked him.

He got smahed into a tree and then the dead body grabbed his hairs and started smashing him on the ground.

He was feeling the pain but he was not dying.

Whatever pain he feels, stay with him for eternity and only fades away, when either the golden light appears or he takes a bite from the silver apple.

But even after that, if he again gets hurts, all the pain comes back for eternity and to make it fade away, again either golden light has to appear or he has to take a bite from the silver apple.

All his past pain came back and he started screaming.

Then the dead body throw him on the ground towards his spear. He took the spear, stood up and screamed, "The Heavenly Spear! "

The spear launched itself on the dead body, destroying the land and creating a 10 meter long hole of radius of 4 meter.

The dead body turned to nothingness and disapeared infront of his eyes.

He sat near a tree in pain and his left hand touched something, a silver apple.

He smiled and took a bite from it, making all his pain fade away.

For him, the immortality was nothing more than a curse, a curse which he has to deal with for all eternity.

He always cursed his past life but now, his past life was like a heaven for him.

He stood up and walked through the forest and after half an hour, he found a pond.

He looked upon himself in the pond and his silver eye was shining, it was not fully silver, it had cracks and craters like that on the moon. It was like the silver eye was the part of the moon which got separated.

He opened his book to search for new techniques and found a technique, The Blood March.

He started reading about it:

The Blood March is a technique embraced by the blood of the fallen itself. This technique will only activate when there will be blood of your opponent(s) nearby. This technique turns the blood of your opponent(s) into their exact clone and those clones become your soldiers. The power of the clones will be equivalent to the sum of caster's power and 5% power of the opponent(s) whose clone has been made. Upon learning, only 3 blood soldiers can be made but the power and the amount of blood soldiers will increase when the mastery of this technique will also increase. It also have a cooldown of 5 second and the blood soldiers will disapear after 5 minute and their defence is half of the real one.

He then started reading the process of learning this technique:

The technique have few requirements. Those who wants to learn this technique must be able to feel their spirit energy and to feel spirit energy, they must have mastery in meditation.

After being able to feel the spirit energy, they much consume the heart of the real fallen, The Fallen Angel, Lucifer.

He never heard of Lucifer or of even the concept of god, angel and devils. In his past life, he had only one objective everyday, find food, water and some clothes.

He sat under a tree and started meditation. He never did meditation in his past life and as expected, he was not able to clear his mind.

To meditate, you must be calm and clear your mind. Discard all the unnecessary thoughts from your mind and only focus on peace.

Whenever he tries to clear his mind, it always appears in his mind, the smile and after that whenever he opened his eyes, he would be in sweat.

He stood up and took a walk around the pond and again looked in the pond but this time, he saw something, something terrifying. A devil who looked exactly like an angel, a white devil.

He got scared and took some steps back and then, again looked in the water and this time, there was no devil. His heart was beating fastly.

He went to the same tree and sat under it but this time, before starting meditation, he placed his palm on the center of his chest where the golden light was chained and started meditation and this type, it was succesful. The thought of the smile didn't came and he was able to clear his mind.

He felt something, something very calm and with neutral nature, something having the shine of silver and white color, something capable of holding the name, the spirit energy.

The moment he felt the spirit energy, his lungs bursted. Blood came out of his mouth and all the pain came back and in a second, his lungs regenerated but the pain was still there. He took a bite from the silver apple and all the pain fade away but this time, he was scared to do it again because of pain.

He had no choice but to learn it, he again started meditating and again, his lungs bursted. All the pain came back and he had to again took a bite from the silver apple.

He spent 3 nights in this world and didn't felt thirsty but for this time, he felt thirsty.

He went towards the pond and started drinking water from it. The water was clear. He never drank such clear water. After drinking, he again sat under the same tree and started meditating. This time, he felt a slight pain in his lungs and due to which, all the pain came back but his lungs didn't bursted and he ignored all the pain and again, he felt the same spirit energy.

He focused on the spirit energy for atleast 2 hours and then suddenly, something happened.

A white light fall on him. He felt an extraordinary pain from the white light and his focus broke. He couldn't ignore all the pain and was screaming and after 30 seconds, the light disapeared and his body started shining with silver light. But this time, he didn't had to eat the silver apple because his pain disapeared with the white light.

His book opened automatically and said, "You have successfully completed the first requirement to learn the, The Blood March. Now, you only have to hunt and eat the heart of the real fallen, The Fallen Angel, Lucifer. "

This time, he felt a different thirst.

The book continued, "If you drink the blood of your prey, you will be able to summon their clone anytime you want but only for one time. "

He listened to the book and then went towards the pond. His thrist was different this time, something which could not be satisfied by the water.

It was the thirst of blood.

He expressed his blood thirst towards the pond and something came out of it and started walking towards him. The creature which came out of it had body structure same as that of an alligator but it's face was that of a worm. It was something disgusting and had the same, silver color.

It then charged towards him.

He easily dodged it and used his spear to pierce it but it's skin was hard and it deflected his spear.

The creature used it's tail to attack him but he dodged it by jumping and used the technique, The Heavenly Spear which the creature barely dodged and then grabbed him by it's mouth and took him inside the pond.

The pond was not much deep, so that's why it does not had any bigger creature than the creature he was currently fighting.

All his pain was back and he was now unable to breath.

The creature didn't let him go and kept him under water.

After 2 minutes, he was unable to hold his breath and due to lack of oxygen, he was feeling that he was drowning but he was not dying. Now, he had to deal with the feeling and pain of drowning with the other pain.

He suddenly remembered that when he crafted his blood spear, the book told him that the spear will come back to him when he'll call it.

He called it, "Come back to me, The Blood Spear. ", and right after he finished his words, the spear came back flying to him.

He grabbed the spear and again used the technique, The Heavenly Spear and this time, it connected and killed the monster.

The book said, "You have successfully slained a wormitor and can use it's skin to craft a disguise mask. "

He first came out of the pond and then opened his book to search for the disguise mask. The mask was of black color and had the shape of a demon. The expression on the mask was same as that of demon.

(Author's Note: For better understanding, imagine it as a full face oni mask.)

He first, skinned the wormitor and then crafted the disguise mask and wore it.

The pain was there but he was doing his best to ignore it.

He then placed his palm on his chest and started to feel the warmth of the golden light and slowly, the pain disapeared.

He then used his spear to do a hole in the wormitor's body and then the amount of blood he found, he drank it.

It was already the night and he was hungry, he took out the body of wormitor, took some piece of meat from it and started roasting it.

After eating the meat, he climbed a tree and lay down on it. He looked towards the sky and he could see an aurora but in the sky, there was no moon. Moon didn't existed in this world but he felt like, it did.

He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
