CHAPTER 40
It really was a pain in the ass, though!
I wanted to know how to kill magical beasts and how to get their nucleus inside them. I wanted to know what kinds of beasts there were and how it could help me!
I felt like I had wasted all that time!
I never really liked school in my previous life either. Yet, in this ‘school’ I felt that it had been totally useless!
Now that I’m out in the vast area, I’m just going to have to learn everything by myself…
With the lazy side of me not particularly happy, I continued on, making sure that I stayed aware at all times.
I was still poisoned and didn’t have any kind of help. I decided to always make sure, that from now on, I kept half of my spiritual essence for emergencies…Which meant that recuperating from my poison will take longer.
Unknowingly, because of my delay to rid of the poison completely, I gain something from it. Not only have I been slowly becoming immune to the ‘Two Faced Poison’, that no one had ever accomplished before, but there was another…Strange thing that happened to me.
In the last two months, without my knowing, my eyes had started to change colour. If someone had known me, they wouldn’t have seen a difference straight away. But by now, a few months later, they would have seen it!
My eyes had gone from a brown, to a dull, dark red, at first. Now they have gone more of a blood red colour, that would have made me laugh and think of vampires. But…I had no idea, so I missed out on a good chance to be amused at this time of need for it. And since I didn’t care too much about how I looked, being a former bogan, I don’t find out for some time…
When I hit the spot that I had intended, from way back from my bed in the Rolland estate, I jumped up the tree and found a good place to stay. I didn’t want to stay long in a place still quite opened, even though there were other trees around. It wasn’t a jungle or bush, but it had two hills close by and another patch of trees in seeing distance.
For the time being, I will use my stars to find where I will go to next from here…
As the days went by, I rarely fell into a deep sleep, as I would hear all the beasts that were close by. I kept an eye on the poison that was still in my body, but only tended to it just enough to make sure I could move properly. Spending most of my focus in finding a safe place for me to go, put me up to being a rank three cultivator!
After I had ‘dinged’, I remembered that the first son of my ‘stupid grandfather’, was a rank three cultivator too.
I hadn’t thought about the Rolland Estate until now…But now that I did, I was…I felt the emotion that was slowly creeping up on me…An angry emotion, that seems to be wanting to tip over…
I looked out at the vast land around me, and sighed.
I wasn’t a saint, I knew that I felt what I felt for a reason. It wasn’t hard to know that I was angry at so many things, that it was like a drain that was already filled with water, and spilling out onto the road.
As I tried to calm myself down, my eyes unknowingly were glowing a bright red, to my hidden rage.
I missed Talon, the gentlest man I’ve ever met, in both lifetimes. I miss Samuel, who was more like a kitten or a dog, instead of an elder brother, reminding me very much of my precious daughter…
I guess I miss that man too. He was good company.
I pictured the man in my mind, and realized I never really got his name…
Or number! Haha!
But then I thought that I’d probably forget his name anyway. His face was better…
Daydreaming was something easily done, and when it come to that unbelievably, good looking man, I could lose an hour just picturing a scene in meeting him, or dating him, in modern day Earth.
One time we’d be in an elevator at work, and I didn’t know he was the CEO. Another daydream was about him getting lost in my small town and I had to give him directions, then he’d follow me home…
I sighed, as I remembered a few romantic novels, as romance was my favourite genre. In this damned place, I hadn’t read one single romance story!
That was the only time I wasn’t a realist! My imagination was like my own Hollywood! I could pretend that I’m sitting on a couch, in a theatre, and watching a movie!
