I had ended up falling asleep on the makeshift boat and drifting on the ocean for a while,
I began to wake up, still drifting on the ocean, I got up and asked, " Sage, where are we and how far are we from any land?" and I got an almost instant reply *Checking map right now…. We seem to be drifting towards a city known as Incargis*, I began to look down at my hands and began to look at my still bloody hands, as i began to look up and my mind begins racing and keeps showing me, the same image in my head, whenever i first saw christon after waking up.
His head without a body, I puked so many times, I couldn't manage to puke anymore, I began to remember Hayden, the girl I helped open her mana pathways. I didn't see her full body, but it was a massacre; some people most likely got completely torn apart. I just can't stop thinking about it.
We are almost to the city port, sir.
"Ok, thanks, Sage," I said as Sage's voice took me out of my thoughts and back into the real world, as I got back up and continued to look around and see what Sage meant as I saw it, a port not even six miles away so I sat and waited for it to drift there, I meditated a little bit and thought to myself a lot before we got relatively close to the port then I was straight into pattling my way there,
But I didn't go to the port, cause I would look too suspicious, so I waited for a little longer and reached the side of the port, and just up where no one could see me, and I jumped up onto the land before having Sage take control of my body and perform parkour into the city of incargis as I landed in a alley way, I walked out of the alley way, looking like a beggar.
I continued to walk until I walked past a billboard, one that was talking about a recruitment to the Frost Iron Guild. I turned towards another paper that looked the same as but it was for the Frost Iron Sect, both of them were signed by the same person, A Kargus Nivona.
I took both of them, not knowing what to do with them, but as a incase, I figured, what I wanna do, this feud has been going on for a long time, The Sect Vs The Guild, ever since before I got lost at sea.
I never understood it. Guilds are for people who want to focus on their mana pill purely so they can evolve their inherent skill. Sect are people who mainly focus on their mana pill for mana manipulation, and the evolution is just a secondary perk.
"I still don't understand that. They are both working for the same goal, to get to the pinnacle of strength; it's the only reason anyone does what they do, betrayal or murder."
I heard a story from even the slaves on how people would murder their partner or loved ones for strength. My father was murdered because he wasn't strong enough for his occupation. Women get assaulted all around the world, just due to their strength is so low.
I didn't realize it then, but something inside me was changing, and that change is going to be what makes me what I am in the future.
"I won't let myself be weak, not in this life and not in my next, even if it means I have to kill innocent people to harvest their hearts, even if it means I have to manipulate my way through life," I said while sitting on top of a roof, of which I didn't even know how I got up here, just assume it was Sage
I will do what I have to do to stay alive, be robbing, or kill others.
"Sage, what do you think I should join the sects or guilds?" I had asked Sage's opinion on almost everything lately, due to it being a computer in my brain
...... I suggest you join the sects, sir.
"Ok, I'll listen to you," I said, kinda mentally looking at Sage, wondering why it took so long for it to answer.
