Ficool

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Unknown gives instruction to Lok and he follows them with interest. Lok's control over his soul energy has reached near perfection due to his talents.

[Now well you can manipulate your energy at divine level]

Lok disperses his energy then he clenches both of his fist with joy. He can now use supernatural powers like how he always wanted to do.

[You seem very happy]

"Of course... although it was torture at first but now it feels that all that torment was worth it. If I can obtain power like this I can face torment like that hundreds of time."

[Do you wish to repeat your experience of those countless years?]

[If you want I can fulfill you wish hundreds of time]

Seeing Lok happy unknown teases him. Alongside happiness all colour drains from Lok's face and he vigorously shakes his head.

"No no no.. I am just joking I have no interest repeating that again."

Unknown does not say anything and gazes at the table and delicacy of all types appears from thin air.

[Now that you have a body you should eat a full meal here for last time]

A chair appeares in front of Lok and he sits on the chair and sarts eating. Lok doesn't remember much of his previous world. But this is first time he has tasted such delicious food.

"What do you mean by last meal here?"

[Do you remember that I said you can't stay here for long]

Lok noddes.

"So you are going to send me away after this meal."

Unknown shakes his head.

[No there is still time left for you]

"That means you are not going to give me food from now on."

Unknown smiles.

[Now you have a body and you should be strong enough to fight the monsters near the beach]

Lok grumbles.

"Why? can't you make food like this again."

[I can but I don't want to]

"You..."

Lok does not say anything and enjoys this delicious meal.

"Burp."

"This is the first time I have eaten something so delicious."

Lok pats his belly and tears of happiness flows from Lok's eyes.

[Now that you have eaten you shoud create a energy manipulation technique]

"What technique?"

[A technique to increase, refine and store energy inside your body]

"How do I do that?"

[Close your eyes and meditate and find it yourself]

"..."

[Why do you think I gave you those talents?]

Lok becomes speechless and sits by Crossing his legs on top of the bed than closes his eyes and meditates.

In deep meditation Lok feels pitch black energy from his soul and all parts of his body.

After meditating for few hours Lok opens his eyes.

[How are you feeling?]

Lok pulls his right hand close to his face and clenches it tight with calm.

"I can't find a way."

[No hurry you will be able to do it. Let me give you hint]

"..."

Lok focuses all his attention on unknown.

[A inch below navel there is your lower energy centre using breathing tecniques you can store energy in it]

[But I advise you against it]

"... Why?"

[Because there is no energy for you to absorbe it into your energy center]

"..."

[You should focus spreading your energy all over your body]

"But how?"

Unknown looks at the multicolored sea outside the window.

[You should go hunt something I am feeling a little hungry]

Lok raises his eyebrow.

"Do you even need to eat? And you can just create food like last time"

Unknown look at Lok.

[You are living in my house without giving me any rent]

"What I have to give you rent?"

[My friend nothing in this world is free. Even if you are chosen one of fate you have to pay a price for everything fate bestowes upon you]

"..."

[Not to mention I even gave you a body]

[Do you think it was free?]

"So I am to repay you by making you food."

Unknown shakes his head.

[No you are my servent as long as you stay in this island]

[Youuuu...]

Lok shouts in anger.

A terrifying pressure suddenly spreads over Lok freezing him in his spot.

[I am not asking I am telling you]

"gasp!"

Pressures subsides and Lok falls to the floor. He takes deep breaths since even his breathing was stoped from the pressure.

After stabilizing his breathing Lok stands up and looks at unknown for a second and then turns his gaze at the ground. Because unknown has been friendly Lok has forgotten what kind of existence unknown is. The sudden event has reminded Lok of reality. The unknown sitting calmly in the chair can erase him from existence merely on whim.

Then suddenly a black bracelet appears on Lok's right wrist.

Is is a sleek, black bracelet with a modern yet somewhat rugged design. It has a matte finish and features an engraved geometric or interwoven pattern along the outer surface, giving it a subtle but stylish texture. The bracelet appears to be made of metal, possibly stainless steel or titanium, and is hinged with a clasp mechanism for secure fastening.

The overall aesthetic is minimalistic, masculine, and contemporary, with a hint of Viking or Celtic-inspired design due to the knot-like engravings.

[This bracelet has a large space inside it use it store the monsters you hunt]

Lok looks at the bracelet and walks to leave the wooden hut.

[Dont go too far, ten miles is the most you can go from this beach]

"..."

Lok noddes and quitely leaves the small wooden hut.

***

Three mile away from the small wodden hut inside a forest near beach Lok hides his presence and is standing in a thick branch of a tree looking for prey.

Lok close his eyes and three black thread made of energy swiftly passes thorough the forest showing scenes of the forest inside Lok's mind.

"Found it my first prey."

Lok has finally found his first prey since entering the forest. Lok jumps from the branch hiding his presence and quitly approaches the location and is standing thirty meter away from the prey.

The prey is a red deer eating red grass in the forest. The red colour of the deer might be due to constantly eating the red grass.

Lok quitely approaches the red deer when he crosses twenty-five meters the deer notice him and turns his yellow eyes at him.

But instead of running the deer opens his mouth and fires a fire breath at Lok.

Fire breath of red deer reaches Lok instantly Lok dodges by jumping in the air and the fire breath hit few trees and reduce them to ashes.

"Damn that thing is strong."

A pitch black aura concentrate on Lok's right fist and he swings at the red deer.

Deer counterattack by firing a fire breath at the fist.

Pitch black fist and red fire breath collides and a shockwave spreads at the area of hundred meters and the area around Lok and red deer is filled with dust.

Lok concentrates his energy and swing his hand scattering the dust. Just then the red deer comes running and rams at Lok.

Lok creates a barrier in hurry and it breaks and Lok flies backwards and breakes few trees before stoping. The barrier somewhat is able to negate the force of red deer but Lok is wounded.

Without giving Lok time to relax the red deer comes running to again ram into Lok. Red deer is about clash into Lok but Lok suddenly smiles. The red deer feels something amiss but it is just five meter away from Lok.

Suddenly a pitch black sword appears between Lok and red deer. The red deer hit the sword in full speed and the sword pierce the head of red deer killing him instantly.

Lok gets up and try to move his wounded body and come near the red deer and store it inside the black bracelet.

"Fuu!... I almost died who knew the first thing I encounter will be this strong. Now lets go back before something more strong comes."

Lok turns around and run's toward the small wodden hut in full speed.

The damaged forest behind Lok starts mending. In few second it is completely restore as if the fight between Lok and red deer never happened.

***

"Huff.. Huff.."

Lok arrives at the beach and enters the small wodden hut.

This time he sees a night sky full of star and a full moon in the sky. In front of him there are two tents one black one grey pitched in the wilderness.

[Oh you are back so how was it]

In front of grey tent unknown is sitting in a chair looking at the starry sky.

Lok walks and sits in the chair in front of the black tent.

"It was hard who knew I would encounter something so strong."

[Ha ha for you it may be strong but that one is an outcast who have to live here due to his weak strength]

Lok stays quite.

[Take it]

Unknown throws a book at Lok.

"What is this?"

[See for yourself]

The book unknown throws is a cooking book titled how to cook a deer.

[Now start]

Lok stands up from his seat and ignite a black flame in his right palm use it to ignite the campfire and using the recipe in the book he prepares tonight's meal.

Both of them eats there meal and sits in front of camp fire burning with black flame and looks at the stars.

[The food you made was not bad]

Lok noddes and continue to look at the stars.

[Did you get any idea for your energy manipulation technique]

Lok stops looking at the stars and looks at unknown.

"Well I get a rough Idea how to do it."

[You still have time so don't worry too much]

"How much time does I have?"

[Let's say enough time to complete your energy manipulation technique and still spend time here]

Lok stands up from his seat and enters the black tent and starts doing meditation by sitting cross legged.

Lok spreads his consciousness inside his body mostly in his muscles and energy center.

'Energy manipulation technique how do I do it.'

Lok then tries to move his energy from his soul into his lower energy centre and moves it in spiral clockwise direction then anto clockwise direction. But after experimenting for some time Lok gets disappointed.

After meditating and trying for few hours Lok decide to end his meditation and opens his eyes and then he leaves his tent.

Outside his tent sun is shining in the sky and unknown is enjoying the sunlight.

[You seem tense try to relax just like I said you have quite lot of time]

[Just remember great thing need time to achieve greatness]

Lok noddes and leaves the small wooden hut and enters the forest.
