Chapter 96: Origin Of Life!
Being stuck in the Origin of Life was just living through Life but with Alexander as the controller of every aspect.
we\'ve previously understood that the Origin Of Life was Progress, and who was the Origin Of Life?
Indeed, It was Alexander.
Alexander was Progress itself. By being Progress he could perfectly control every aspect of life.
It wasn\'t just a simple question of Understanding to Control anymore, it was a Manifestation of what you Understood. You became it!
Alexander became Origin itself, but a small part of it, He became the Origin of Life. Thus Life itself revolved around him and he could indeed Control.
Being something\'s Origin didn\'t always mean you could control it, sometimes you were just the reason, the time, or place it started but you had no further control of it, and that\'s why Origin in its stage of understanding though Overpowered couldn\'t reach the level of Order and Chaos, however, in its state of Fusion you could indeed control what revolves around you as you become a conscious mind acting as Origin itself and not just Controlling it as a set Concept.
Indeed, Fusion gave you more freedom and this was the reason the path to strength was always one aiming for perfection.
it meant to take something, one or more, and slowly but surely Using them, Understanding them, Fusion with them, and then... Filtering their good and bad to reach their Essence!
Indeed, Essence! It was what a Transcendent aimed for after completely fusing with a Law and reaching the next stage. After fusing with a Law one needs to filter through it removing what\'s bad about it and only keeping the good so as to make it more complete, more perfect, and when it\'s completely filtered one looks at the stage above it.
What was Draco experiencing exactly?
A second after seeing Alexander change into something he couldn\'t make heads or tales of, Draco found himself in the body of an unborn child.
Living a good duration inside the belly of his mother he felt all kinds of unspeakable things touching him, hitting him, rolling over him to the point he wa surprised he hadn\'t died.
At this point in time although he had his powers he couldn\'t yet use them. But he wasn\'t idle as he started thinking of all kinds of ways not to mention.
"System."
[Yes, Host!] he had his Eternal Companion alongside him.
"Show me the Quest Interface once again." Draco said.
After He was sent down this hole called the Origin of Life the system issued a new quest and it was like this:
[Quest Issued!]
[Quest: Escape The Origin Of Life]
[Quest Info: Escape as soon as possible and win the bet against your Foster Son.]
[Quest Difficulty: Middle Transcendent-Rank - (Recommended Level: Middle Transcendent-Rank)]
[Quest Progress: 2.5%]
[Quest Rewards: +100 Trillion XP, +50 Trillion Gold, +45,000 System XP, Chaos Memory, EX-Rank Escape Affinity Maxed Understanding.]
\'Not bad, This promises another System Upgrade, I\'m looking forward to it.\'
It was about time for Draco to get out of the belly of his mother and... What could he say?
It wasn\'t light that welcomed him. No.
He was in the middle of nowhere slipping right on top of dirt with the umbilical cord rolled around his neck.
\'Damned Luck!\' As he shocked on himself with the cord around his neck, not being able to do anything just yet, he felt someone fighting to save him.
It was... some kind of skinny living being? No, it was a woman! Looking at how they were connected with the cord it was his Mother.
"M- my Child! My Child!" Hardly able to speak the lady that was so skinny her bones were friends with her skin looked as haggard as the word could describe if not more.
All Kinds of liquids fell from here as even the Unfeeling Draco felt all kinds of emotions at the moment.
not Anger, No, he felt disgust, caution, embarrassment, and wanting to get the hell out of this Origin of Life as soon as possible.
Starting to get more control over his own power although a minuscule amount, Draco was around as strong as a Level 50-something F-Rank goblin right now.
but for a human baby, it was pretty strong.
Fighting to get a little bit of control over himself Draco even with tiny limbs and a hardly functioning body managed to help his mother give him room to breathe and not get spawn killed.
This was how the first few seconds of his life went.
Even with his mother\'s haggard look, he thought she would at least be a good mother.
Oh how wrong he was when he discovered she was everything bad gathered together in a package.
Drugs? Check! Getting Drunk? Check! Prostitute? Check!
Scum? Check! Goes Completely Nuts at Time? Check!
The way she changes personalities is even more Chaotic than him, The Chaos Anomaly!
She could be kind, caring, and loving now, and 30 seconds later bring a knife and attempt to snuff his life out for being the source of her misfortune.
And then she would straight start hugging him and crying in regret.
Fortunately, it didn\'t take long for her to get run over by a carriage.
Draco who was 2 years old by that time but as big as a 7-year-old had to live alone in a City... That was total bullcrap crazy.
It wasn\'t to say that the 2 years that passed were easy. No!
Everything that happened, Every day that passed, every person he met was the epitome of Psychopathic.
Being Autistic was the pinnacle of normal a human could be in here.
Forget humans, Chickens were total batshit insane! They were the kind of chicken to pop an egg eat it poop it and eat it again and repeat.
By the time Draco was 1 month old, his mother was \'visited\' to her spot in the wilderness by 68 Different Men, Women, and let\'s not mention the last kind.
They didn\'t pay, they only left some scraps, half-eaten hard bread, or if they were too generous a few slaps for Draco\'s mother. Remember this was the best they could have given, because if they gave anything else the poor lady wouldn\'t even be able to walk.
Draco by now was as strong as an E-Rank and had killed around 385 Strangers who were trying to play with him instead of his mother or were a little bit on overdose and tried to steal, kill, hit, or just pass by him when he was slightly annoyed.
Remember this was the first month.
Once 3 months have passed a Carriage that was from some rich guy in the City passed by the Wilderness and looked at Draco as well as his mother and ordered his guards to kill them out of \'sympathy\' and to \'save them from the misery\'.
Let\'s just say it didn\'t end well for them.
The rest of the 2 years was just accident after accident as well as deaths and killings.
Draco by then was already as strong as a B-Rank.
All kinds of Daily, Weekly, and Monthly events happened.
but the yearly ones were the hardest.
The First one was a City-Wide Famish.
The second was the one where his mom died and he had to actually enter the City instead of living in the wilderness because the 2 years he spent was all spent tinkering of plans that would help him skip an entire not just realm but an entire state of Being, from a Mortal to a Higher-Being, from The Earth to The Heavens.
It wasn\'t a simple situation to be in and by now he was stuck big time in his plan.
What he was doing right now was simply tinkering with everything he had with the help of the System and thinking of a good combination using Chaos to break through the barrier that is Alexander himself to return to the real world.
Obviously the time passing outside the Origin of Life is almost completely still compared to its inside as Alexander already had Time Fused into his very being and such a thing as making time pass super fast inside the Origin of Life wasn\'t a possibility it was a Prerequisite.
So Draco didn\'t have to worry about his Condition of Conquering the Empire reaching its time limit.
But he had to quickly form a new skill he could use to escape but to do that he had to do something else now.
Indeed it was to understand the very structure of the Origin of life and the Origin Law.
The problem is he had no Affinity for it. What would he do?
