Chapter 75: Blood of GOD?
“Blood of GOD”
All of my body shook as my eyes were glued to the bottle.
Suddenly, I heard a giggle from Amelia. I knew she was joking with me. In all seriousness, even if there were such a thing as the blood of GOD, who in their right minds would share it with a stranger?
My eyes drew to Amelia as I asked, “What kind of joke is this?”?
A smirk appeared on her face when she said, “You should have seen your face,”
“What is it?” I asked again.
“It is indeed the Blood of GOD, but it has been diluted. Your body will be restructured and will reach second evolution easily.”
I was surprised by how much this little potion would help me. Suddenly, Eve’s voice filled my head.
“It is recommended that the host take the potion. It will increase each attribute by 30 points.”
FUCK!!!
This was an awesome potion, and this is the diluted version. What if I took the undiluted version?
Amelia’s voice ruined my dreams: “Don’t even think about it. Your body will explode.”
Coughing, I asked, “Why are you giving me such a precious thing?”
“I want you to survive. You are still too weak, and this jungle can be too dangerous for you. If you are unlucky, you will die unjustly. To avoid that fate, this will help you,” she said to me seriously.
I looked at her closely as I clutched the bottle and asked, “Why do you trust me so much?”.
“Even I don’t know, but I have a hunch that you are worth investing in,” she said as she stared directly into my eyes.
I smiled wryly. “Investment, I guess…”
Regardless, I was hurt. I thought I was more than an investment to her. In any case, she and I just met 2 days ago, and so how can I think, I would have moved her. In the end, she has her own life, and it’s her decision what I am to her.
Nodding my head, I replied, “Thanks for the consideration. I will return your investment with a profit in the future. When would be a good time for me to take this?”
Her face changed a couple of times when she heard my answer. She turned serious after a while, and said, “In a week, after you complete your training, then your body will be stronger and capable of supporting the pressure.”
She nodded at me and I immediately placed the bottle in my inventory. I didn’t hide it from her, because I wanted her to know that she invested in the right commodity.
As expected, she had a surprised expression when she saw that bottle vanish.
“You..you…” She wanted to say something, but I interrupted her midway.
“We all have secrets.”
She wanted to say something but eventually left my place saying nothing.
Closing the door, I lay down on the bed. As I closed my eyes, her words kept flashing through my mind.
I forced myself to think about my life on earth, when I was having the time of my life. Immediately, I went to sleep.
On that day, my monotonous life began, going to that place for training, working out, eating dinner and going to bed.
There were some wonderful moments with Diana, but we limited them to kissing.
Every time Liam came across Diana, he would stare at her. It was this that made me sympathise with him, nothing more, nothing less.
In the days following that day, Amelia and I barely talked at all. Our conversation was only about business. She avoided me, and I didn’t nag her.
In terms of business, my body adapted very well to ten times gravity. After a day, I could move my body without losing energy. Two days later, I could stand.
Just like that, on the last day, I could freely move my body at 10 times gravity. Within no time, I completed my workout.
Diana did not train with me this week. She was guided personally by Granny.
I heard the notification sound as I finished my day.
‘Congratulations, Host! The task has been completed.’
Suddenly, I felt strength flowing into my body. I know my strength was increased by 5 points as a reward for completing the task.
It was the first time in a week I really felt happy. I accomplished something on my own.
Upon turning around, I saw Amelia had a surprised look on her face. She approached and scrutinized me.
“Suddenly I felt your body becoming stronger.”
As I made a surprised face, I exclaimed, “Really? Maybe my body is unique.”
Taking a step forward, she nodded and asked me to follow her.
After following her out, I took a bath in the river and returned to the village. My whole body felt really light after this week of training. Even without the supreme speed, I felt I could be faster now.
I spent some time with Diana after I reached the village. During this week, I learned that she has another skill besides the power of electricity, the power of air. She has the ability to fly. It surprised me, but I felt happy for her as well.
As I walked to my place after dinner, Amelia tagged along.
“You’re coming over to my place?” I asked her.
“Yes, you will be using the potion today, won’t you?” “It must be used under supervision otherwise it may harm you.” She replied.
As I headed for my place, Amelia followed me.
As soon as I reached my place, I took the bottle from the inventory and asked her.
“Now, what do I do?”
“Go to bed and drink it,” she said.
Nodding at her, I sat down on the bed and drank the potion. It felt warm as the solution slid down my throat and into my stomach, but that was it. I felt nothing else.
I was surprised, thinking it would be a painful experience for me. But other than that warm feeling, I felt nothing.
As I looked at Amelia, she nodded at me, but I didn’t know what she meant. When I opened my mouth to ask, a painful scream rose from my throat.
“AAAAAHHHHHHH”
I felt a burning sensation all over my body. It was like my insides were being ripped out. Then, I felt a hand touching my chest and a warm sensation began to spread.
My body felt so relaxed as I passed out.
Upon opening my eyes, I found myself at a different location surrounded by many people and all of them were unfamiliar faces I’d never seen before.
