Chapter 99: Unknown soul beast

Moscow Town, Larva Kingdom

It is a prosperous town, located at the edge of the Larva Kingdom.

A few kilometers to the west of the Town was a boundary that divides the Larva Kingdom and the Star Kingdom.

So, this town becomes commonplace for the machinery and adventurers.

Different from the Rewa city, Moscow town is controlled by the nobles.

Two years have already passed since the great event which shifted the power balance of the nobles.

No one knows the actual reason behind the event which happened nearly two years ago, but great changes happened after that year.

The cruel nobles who once use their power for benefits and pleasure, now act as true human beings.

Anyone could see the fears in their eyes that hunt them even after two years. 

There are many rumors about that year's incident but there is always a common thing among those rumors. 

All rumors were related to the boy named Raj.

Town people speculated that the boy doesn't have any surname.

He came to this town two years ago with his grandfather who was a renowned great traveler in his days.

Raj suffers from a short-term memory disorder, a cerebral syndrome by which his memory lasts only for 30 seconds.

The people who suffer from this disorder would lose their ability to make new memories through their long term memory ( before the Disorder) should have remained intact.

However, it wasn't the case for Raj. His long term memory only remains intact for only 30 seconds.

Generally, this rare disorder is triggered by either a heavy cerebral injury or a momentary shock of seismic proportions to the victim.

It is an extremely rare condition, only a handful of people suffer from it. 

It is somewhat akin to a continuous reboot of memory, to a degree that literally makes the victim devoid of being functional even in the most basic of actions.

The people who suffer from this syndrome would only live up to two months after the incident.

Moreover, only mortal humans are affected by this syndrome. It doesn't show any effect to even low realm cultivators.

However, the disorder Raj is suffering from is quite unusual and different from others.

His body function works properly and he didn't die in two months after the incident. 

Furthermore, more than two years had passed after the incident, and he is still living happily.

To overcome this problem, Raj decided to create several small books in which he would write all the important details on it.

All the small books had a cover that describes the purpose of their creation.

However, some important piece of memory which he gets in those 30 seconds. Raj writes it on his body.

'REVENGE'

It is one of the three words, Raj writes in his body. He chooses only the areas in his body which could hide his words.

Nonetheless, this syndrome doesn't only affect his memory but also his cultivation path.

As Raj easily forgets any new memory, it becomes quite hard to cultivate.

Sometimes, he forgets the way to circulate his veins. How to store the qi into his daitian.

Everywhere in this world is the essence of energy. Every person has something called a lower dantian. This is where one can refine the essence energy into Qi and store it in a Qi spiral. Cultivators increase their strength by gathering essence and refining it into Qi. Refinement is the first step in the world as a cultivator. The finer one's Qi is, the better their results will be. There are three different dantians in the body, but you can only gain access to the next two if you have enough strength.

The stage where refinement is done is called apprentice Realm.

There are three different dantians in the body, the lower dantian, middle dantian, and upper dantian. Qi travels from the lower to the middle dantian and gets refined even further into spiritual power. It is much finer than the regular Qi, and it allows the cultivator to use higher ranked skills amongst its other uses.

While some people try to absorb elemental energy which lets them wield the same element power. However, they would also have to store qi in their dantian to increase their cultivation or they will be stuck in the same realm forever.

If someone has done any negligence in the way to circulate qi into dantian. It would result in heavy backlash.

Before, Raj insisted his grandfather to purchase a cultivation technique. Even after his many denials, Raj persisted until the end.

Finally, his hard work comes in handy and he got a cultivation technique.

With the help of his grandfather, Raj tries to cultivate with the help of basic cultivation techniques. Initially, Raj was pretty good at cultivation. However, due to the incident where he forgets the cultivation technique in midst of the breakthrough to Apprentice Realm. Thus, Raj suffers a heavy backlash.

After this incident, Raj's grandfather forbade him to cultivate. 

So, only in those 30 seconds where he remembers everything, Raj cultivated secretly.

No one knows his current cultivation except for his grandfather due to some unknown reason.

Raj was now 14 and a half years old and today he was imprinting something in his body while looking at his half-naked body in the large mirror.

'RATHORE'

After writing, Raj silently murmurs," It was the same day I lost my whole family in that incident almost two years ago."

Subsequently, a drop of tears comes out of his eyes.

"I miss them!"

It is the time that Raj cherishes the most.

Where the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.

Exactly 5:00 PM!

It is a time when he remembers all his past and present memories. He remembers exactly all the past memories. Not a single moment with his family could escape from his mind at this time.

As Raj saw only 2 seconds remaining for today. He quickly covers his body with the clothes and walks towards the door.

…

While Raj was in his room. His grandfather was watching his every action from his place.

"Rathore! So, his surname is Rathore,"

After thinking for a few seconds," I must be overthinking, he can't be from that ancient clan. Their entire Clan perished 1000 years ago. They don't leave alive a single person from that Ancient clan. He must have only a similar surname, not similar origin."

Raj grandfather was a great wanderer in his days, but two years ago he quit his passion after discovering a heavily injured small boy on his way. 

At the time, he comes to the conclusion that a demon army wreaks havoc on this small village.

However, he couldn't find the reason for the destruction around the injured boy.

He knows that the energy which causes this much destruction is something only a Mystic mage with lightning element specialty could release.

So, he doesn't relate that power with this heavily injured boy. But now, he knows the reason for that destruction.

"Foundation Realm!" After a second he continued "By just cultivating approx 30 seconds every day."

Every time he thought about his cultivation pace, he felt that he was in a dream where any impossible things could happen.

"Haha! Even God level genius couldn't compare to him. I found a treasure that can't measure with normal standards. If those old fogies know about his existence, they will surely try to seize him."

After saying he couldn't help but to drink the wine which was in his hand. 

The only thing he felt bad for Raj was that his entire family had been killed even after he tried to sacrifice himself for them.

That day, he found exactly 5 unrecognized dead bodies which were lying one kilometers far from the place where he found Raj.

So, he suspected they must be Raj's family.

"If only I know why he wanted to become the ruler of this world." Risi Sighs

Risi was the name of Raj's Grandfather.

Suddenly, Risi quickly traced back his divine sense from Raj's room. 

"Fu*k! I was in time or that monster would have been awoken due to my divine sense." A panic expression emerges on his face

He couldn't peep in the Raj for a long time, even for one minute due to the soul beast of Raj.

In this world, Risi fears only a few things and one of them is the Raj soul beast.

In the Risi sense, it's not a soul beast but purely a devil.

A devil who can awaken itself without any awakening ceremony. Besides, it hates when somebody peeks at it.

Risi doesn't know anything about Raj's soul beast but he was sure that year's destruction must be because of it.

Dang!!! Dang!!!

Suddenly, he heard someone knock on his door.

"Huh! Mausmi must be there, alas, her mother is very hot but she didn't give me any chance," Risi sighed.

After saying a pervert expression appears on his old face.

Thinking about Mausmi's Mother's hot figure, Risi disregards that devil which was inside Raj's body.
