"What did you just say Gurasu", said Glen who believed he heard the wrong thing."Yes, I want to kill criminals", said Gurasu with a firm voice.
"Why would you want to kill criminals", said Elizabeth who was surprised as well of what Gurasu said.
"Mom... Dad… I want to practice killing people and kill criminals will help me my will stronger and not be afraid to kill people in the future", said Gurasu in a serious voice.
" Well son, your not wrong because this is a world where the strong eats the weak", said Glen as he thought of his past where he killed to survive.
" Yeah, your father is right Gurasu… Look at us, if we were not rank 4 wizards, the 3 clan leaders would have killed us to take the rule of the kingdom", said Elizabeth as she remembered how ruthless people are in this world. The 3 strongest clans in the Chlos Kingdom is Nat clan, Beni clan, and Xing clan. The clan leaders of these clan are rank 3 wizards.
"Ok son, we will let you kill criminals but it will be once every week because we don"t want you to become emotionless by killing all these criminals", said Glen as he thought how killing people will affect a 5-year mind.
"Thanks, Dad and don"t worry, I won"t become emotionless but I will not be afraid to kill", said Gurasu as he smiled as his planned work. When he kills the criminals, he will use the devour ability on them and transfer the power from the body to his. Also, he was not lying when he said he wanted to practice killing people.
He never killed people before because he was a normal highschooler on Earth. He knew that in this world he had to kill people to survive and he can"t be a coward. This was a perfect plan that will benefit him a lot.
After the discussion between Gurasu and his parents, they took Gurasu to the Prison headquarters. There were a lot of guards who were a peak-level knight and even rank 1 and 2 wizards were there. When the guards saw the royal family, they were very surprised, and immediately bowed down before them.
"Call the Prison Chief", said Glen to the guards. The moment Glen said that a burly man suddenly appeared in front of Glen. The burly man was bald and looked like a bodybuilder. However, the aura around him screamed a powerful rank 3 wizard.
"My king, you called me", said the burly man, whose name was Andrew.
" I did Andrew and I want you to get a random criminal whose power is restrained", said Glen as he looked in the eye of Andrew. After Glen said that, Andrew immediately left to get a random criminal without even questioning the reason behind it. It showed how much trust and loyal he was to King Glen.
After 5 minutes, Gurasu and his parents were in a cell with a criminal who had his body restrained to the fullest.
"Mom... Dad... Can you leave alone with this criminal", said Gurasu.
"Why", said Elizabeth as she wondered why her son wanted to be alone with this sinner man.
"Well, I want to be alone and don"t want to feel the safe environment you are giving me by being by my side…. I want to imagine myself I am alone without anybody protecting me and feel the need to kill this person to survive", said Gurasu seriously.
Gurasu was just bulls.h.i.tting this because he was being cautious and doesn"t want his parents to know what he was doing to the prisoner. He was being extra cautious to make sure n.o.body realizes he has this Devour ability. Therefore, he just bulls.h.i.tted and made a random a.s.s reason why he wants to be alone with the criminal.
" I see Gurasu… Well, you do have a creative mind… Taking this very seriously", said Glen as he tried to hold himself laughing at his son"s reason.
"Stop bullying Gurasu… Son we will let you be alone...But if you need help, just yell out HELP as the safe word and we will immediately come to you", said Elizabeth as she glared at Glen who regretted he said that. After Elizabeth said that, they left the cell leaving Gurasu alone with the prisoner.
Gurasu looked at the criminal and took out a knife. The criminal had his eye covered and his mouth taped so he won"t speak. Gurasu immediately stabbed the prisoner and the moment he stabbed the prisoner, he activated his Devour Ability on the prisoner. Then he repeatedly stabbed the prisoner.
Stab!!!
Stab!!!
Stab!!!
Stab!!!!
Stab!!
Elizabeth and Glen who were not that far away from Gurasu saw what their son was doing using their magical powers. Which parent would leave their child alone with a criminal so they secretly watched their son in case anything happened? They only saw him stabbing the prisoner
"Dang my son, he is repeatedly stabbing him … haaaa", said Glen as he laughed at his son"s action.
" This is not funny dear…..ok it"s a little funny….But stop laughing at him", said Elizabeth who saw their son stopped stabbing the man and was now looking at his hands covered with the man"s blood.
"The first kill is always the hardest for most people", said Glen as they saw their son crying now. Elizabeth nodded as well at her husband"s response.
However, what they did not know was that Gurasu was not crying because of killing the man but the pure joy of feeling the power up after he absorbed the man"s power from his body. "Yes, now I don"t have to go back to killing insects or plants… This is amazing...This power up I felt after I absorbed from his body is awesome", thought Gurasu as he looked at the man"s dead body. Then Gurasu looked at his stats.
Name: Gurasu Chlos
Race: Human
Rank: Beginner Knight
Strength: 1.4
Vitality: 1.4
Agility: 1.4
Spirit: 0
Ability: Devour
Gurasu saw that his strength increased by 0.3, vitality by 0.2, and agility by 0.3. Gurasu was surprised that his stats increased that much. He felt excited and couldn"t wait to kill these criminals again.
3 years later
In the practice grounds of the royal palace, a young boy is fighting multiple men. The boy was very handsome with golden eyes and very long, purple hair tied in a ponytail. This was Gurasu who was fighting equally against the multiple peak-level knights. After constantly absorbing power from the criminals and training his body, he eventually became a peak-level knight.
Gurasu was dodging the knights" attacks constantly and was. .h.i.tting them whenever he got the chance. Eventually, he knocked them out.
"Prince Gurasu, you"re too strong and we can"t handle you anymore", said one of the knights. The knight was right because of Gurasu constantly absorbing power from the criminals, he pa.s.sed the peak-level knight strength level.
"Ok guys, thanks for the spar", said Gurasu as he wiped the sweat from his head with his hand. Then Gurasu started to leave so he could go get some food and went back to his room with a plate of cooked chicken.
In Gurasu"s luxury room, he sat on his bed and was looking at his stats while eating the chicken.
Name: Gurasu Chlos
Race: Human
Rank: Peak-level Knight
Strength: 20
Vitality: 20
Agility: 20
Spirit: 0
Ability: Devour
As he looked at his stats, he became very proud. Over the three years, he realized that an adult man has an average stats of 1 and a peak- level knight has average stats of 18. Because he luckily managed to absorb from peak-level knight criminals quite a lot of times and the nutrients food that his parents gave, he managed to overcome the 18 stats and go to 20.
However, no matter how many times he absorbs from other criminals, it only increases his stats by little to none. Gurasu realized he needed to absorb from more people who are much stronger than a peak-knight level to overcome his limit. However, his parents realized that he doesn"t need to kill criminals anymore so they stopped him from going there. Also, when Gurasu asked his parents about wizards prisoners, they told him after they capture these kinds of prisoners, they are used as experiment materials. Furthermore, if he asked his parents about killing a wizard prisoner, they will get suspicious and think why does he need to practice to kill any more people when he doesn"t even blink when he kills people.
Therefore, Gurasu has to find another way to improve his states without being suspicious.
Either way, Gurasu found out that he looks like Sinbad from the anime Magi. Yes, he did watch anime in his life and was a big fan of it. He became happy when he realized this fact because he is going to become a lady killer in the future.
"Let us see, what do I do now… I can"t become strong anymore without becoming a wizard and I have to wait until I become 12 to become one", thought Gurasu as he sighed.
" I should relax now at… I did constantly train and worrying about it won"t make me stronger" thought Gurasu as he ate his last chicken.
"Let"s go explore the capital city of Chlos Kingdom…. I was always cooped up in the palace", thought Gurasu as he went to the throne hall room.
In the throne hall room, Elizabeth and Glen were sitting on the thrones while discussing something. They stopped talking when they saw their son.
"What do you need Gurasu," said Glen, smiling as he felt proud that he was the father of Gurasu.
"Father, can I go explore the capital city and I am just too bored being in the palace all the time", said Gurasu sighing.
"Ok son but be careful", said Glen.
"Ok, Dad...Bye Mom and Dad", said Gurasu as he left the throne hall room.
"Gurasu has his bodyguard with him right Dear?", said Elizabeth worrying about her son"s safety as any caring mother would do.
"Don"t worry Eliz, there are two ranks 2 wizards constantly watching over him and the moment he is in danger, the ring we gave him to wear will tell us immediately", said Glen as he comforted his wife.
"Thanks, dear, but don"t you feel amazed that our son who is 8 years old is a peak-level knight", said Elizabeth as she felt very proud of her son"s achievements.
"I do as well Eliz, and I am happy that Gurasu is a hard worker which made him achieve this achievement…. Plus he does not have the arrogant young prince personality", said Glen, smiling.
"Yeah, your right…..But when should we announce Gurasu as the Crown Prince of the Chlos Kingdom", said Elizabeth.
They wanted to announce Gurasu as the Crown Prince because he is already worthy of it. Also, they don"t know if they will have a child or not again. Higher the rank of a wizard, the lower the chance of being able to give birth to a baby or impregnating someone. They were already lucky to have Gurasu and don"t know they will be lucky again.
"We will do that when he becomes 10 years old", said Glen.
Tsunade POV
h.e.l.lo, my name is Tsunade Xing. I am the granddaughter of the Xing Clan Leader. Because of this position, I was given many things. n.o.body bullied me and always showed respect to me. It made me feel like I was a princess but I wasn"t. I eventually got bored of the praises given to me because I am an intermediate level knight when my age is just 8 years old. However, I wasn"t proud of this fact because I knew the real genius is the prince of the Chlos Kingdom. At the age of 8 years old, he is a peak-level knight.
You don"t see something like this anywhere else and when I found about this, I was shocked. I always wanted to meet him because I wanted to ask this question: why do you work so hard. I had this question when I was at the royal palace and I saw him training. He was fighting multiple men ranging from advanced to the peak-level knights. He was not losing the battle at all. After the battle, he would do countless push ups and other ranges of exercises. He had a lot of determination to do this when he was not even 10 or older.
It amazed me and the kids at his age would be playing around especially boys. I have seen young masters at his age being spoiled, being arrogant, and thinking the world belongs to them. It fascinated me and I wanted to talk to him. However, I was shy, but I was not a shy girl. Whenever I saw his handsome face, my heart beats faster than ever.
I asked my mom about it and she said it is love. However, I don"t believe I am in love but just interested in Gurasu. Either way, today I was in the carriage with my servants and we were going to a clothes store.
While in the carriage, I heard somebody say "Prince Gurasu, this is all free and take anything you want". When I heard this, I was surprised and couldn"t believe it was him. I told the driver to stop the car. Then I got out of the carriage, and I saw a handsome boy with golden eyes and very long, purple hair tied in a ponytail. He was talking to a stall owner. I realized that this is my chance to talk to him and I can"t be afraid.
Gurasu POV
After I got out of the palace and was walking around the streets, everybody was staring at me. I was not surprised because I do once in a while come out of the palace but I come with my dad or my mom. I found a stall owner selling meat skewers. I love meat skewers and it was one of my top food in my past life. As I walked up to the stall, the owner was surprised and he immediately bowed down before me.
"h.e.l.lo there Prince Gurasu….Do you need anything", said the stall owner.
"Yes I do, give me 10 meat skewers…..How much will it cost", I told the owner.
"My Prince…... It won"t cost anything if you want to buy it…..buy anything you want and it will be free Prince Gurasu", said the stall owner.
"Well then… Thanks for the offer and give me 10 meat skewers", I told the man. Why would I deny his offer and be like those so-called protagonists who say" no... no... I will pay for it" when I could just eat it for free. This man is offering me free food and I will accept his offer.
As I was about to take the meat skewers, somebody called me.
"h.e.l.lo there Prince Gurasu", said Tsunade. When I looked at who it was, I was surprised because she looks like the young version of Tsunade from Naruto.
Third Person POV
"Who are you miss", said Gurasu as he had never seen this person before. He was always training and did not have time to be in social gatherings.
"My name is Tsunade Xing", said Tsunade in a charming voice. She was not surprised that Gurasu did not know her because she never introduced herself when she went to the royal palace.
When Gurasu heard her say her name, he was shocked. " She has the same face and the same name except for the last name but still… Isn"t this too much of a coincidence", thought Gurasu as he just stared at her.
When Tsunade saw him staring at her, she got nervous and blushed a little bit. "Why is he staring at me….Is it because I am really beautiful….Yeah it has to be that reason", thought Tsunade. When she thought of this, she immediately blushed.
Gurasu who was staring at Tsunade realized that he was staring at her too much and looked away. "Sorry for that Tsunade", said Gurasu who felt embarra.s.sed.
"It is no problem Prince Gurasu", said Tsunade and by now she stopped blushing.
"Prince Gurasu, are you trying to go somewhere", said Tsunade.
"No, I was just exploring the city", said Gurasu as he ate one of the meat skewers. "Dang, it tastes so good" thought Gurasu after he ate one of the meat skewers.
"Well, how about I show you around the city", said Tsunade as she hoped that Gurasu say yes
"Well then, thank you for the offer and I will like it that you show me around the city", said Gurasu as he ate another meat skewer. "I might get addicted to this", thought Gurasu as he felt that the meat skewers taste good.
"Then why don"t you follow me to my carriage and I will show you around the city", said Tsunade as she became that Gurasu accepted her offer.
"Ok", said Gurasu as he followed Tsunade to her carriage.
When Gurasu and Tsunade arrived at her carriage the servants and the driver was very surprised. They immediately bowed down before Gurasu and greeted him.
As Gurasu and Tsunade sat down, the carriage started to move again.
"You do like those meat skewers don"t you Prince Gurasu", said Tsunade smiling to Gurasu who only had one meat skewer left.
"Yeah I do and it is one of my top 5 favorite foods", said Gurasu as he began to eat his last meat skewer.
"Ok then let"s begin telling about the city Prince Gurasu", said Tsunade.
" As you know the strongest 3 clans in the Chlos kingdom are Xing clan, Nat clan, and Beni clan… While the royal palace is in the middle of the kingdom, the Xing clan is in the east direction of the palace, the Nat clan is the north direction of the palace, and the Beni clan is in the south direction of the palace", said Tsunade
After Tsunade told more about the city and where they are located, they began to go to stores. Finally, they arrived at the clothes store where Tsunade wanted to go.
"This clothes store is one of the most famous in the city Prince Gurasu", said Tsunade as she and Gurasu walked into the store. The employers were surprised when they saw Gurasu and Tsunade. They immediately offer their greetings and asked they need help. They both said no and they tried out clothes.
After an hour of being in the store, both of them came out. Gurasu was holding only one bag while Tsunade"s servant was holding multiple bags of clothes.
"I shouldn"t accept anything less from a lady when she goes shopping", thought Gurasu. Most of the time in the store was spent looking for clothes for Tsunade.
"Sorry I wasted a lot of time in the store Prince Guraso", said Tsunade as she realized she spent too much time in the store.
"Don"t worry and wasn"t this the original destination for you to go Tsunade", said Gurasu as he saw the sun was about to go down.
"It"s about to be night time... let us leave", said Gurasu. After he said that both of them went back to their carriage.
"Thank you for the help today Tsunade…..I appreciate it very much", said Gurasu, smiling at Tsunade.
"No problem Prince Gurasu….I am happy that you enjoyed it", said Tsunade.
"Don"t call me Prince anymore, just call me Gurasu...Are we not friends now", said Gurasu, questioning her.
"But Prince Gurasu", said Tsunade but when she saw Gurasu glaring at her she sighed.
"Ok from now on I will call you Gurasu", said Tsunade.
"That"s good….We have arrived at my destination…. Thank you again for the help Tsunade", said Gurasu as he left the carriage with his stuff and went to the royal palace.
"Ok by now", said Tsunade as she waved her hand at Gurasu. Gurasu waved his hand back at her as well and went inside the royal palace.
"Whoo...What a long day", said Tsunade as the carriage started to go to Xing clan family ground now. "Who would have thought my mom would be right…..It felt nice talking to Gurasu…. Plus when I was near him, I felt good and felt very safe…... Is this love", thought Tsunade as she blushed as she thought of Gurasu.
"I need my mom"s help on this matter", thought Tsunade.
Back at the royal palace
"h.e.l.l there son, how was your date with Tsunade", said Elizabeth teasing her son. However, she did not expect her son to reply to her teasing.
"Yes mother, I did enjoy my date with Tsunade", said Gurasu as he did not feel shy at all to his mother teasing.
"So do you like her…..You had been with her the whole day....You never stayed with a female that long excluding your mother", said Glen, smiling at his son.
"Yes, I actually like her….Tsuanade doesn"t act like a tsundere, she is very nice, and doesn"t act like a spoiled brat", said Gurasu. However, the main reason was that " Tsunade will become a bombsh.e.l.l like in the anime", thought Gurasu as he remembered how he liked her in the anime. However, he was not naive anymore and knew appearances doesn"t make a person truly beautiful. It was the personality and how a person behaves and with good appearances will make a true beauty.
For that reason, he doesn"t feel attracted to any woman if they don"t have these 3 qualities. However, because Tsunade had these 3 qualities he felt attracted to her and began to like her.
"Do you want help from us Gurasu…..Tsunade is the granddaughter of the Xing Clan Leader", said Elizabeth.
"No mom….I don"t need help…..I can conquer her by myself…..Plus I could tell that she already likes me", said Gurasu smirking.
"Haaaa….My boy is a lady killer like me as well", said Glen laughing and as well proud of his son.
"Like father and son…... Gurasu doesn"t follow your father"s steps…... Did you know that he was a playboy until he met me…... Your mother had him restrained until he acted like a good boy", said Elizabeth laughing at Glen.
"Eliz…..We can"t talk about this.....Son doesn"t believe your mother....How about we have dinner now", said Glen trying to change the subject immediately.
"My father and mom antics", thought Gurasu as he followed his parents to the dining hall so they could eat. "However, for them to know I was with Tsunade, did they follow me or….Yes, the bodyguards that are meant to protect me must have reported this to my parents", thought Gurasu sighing.
In the main house of Xing Clan
There were Tsunade and her mother, who resembled Tsunade a lot with having blond hair.
"Mom, what do I do", said Tsunade as she looked at her mom. Her mother"s name was Nadine Xing.
"What you have told me about Gurasu….And the feeling you felt about him…..It makes me conclude you"re in love", said Nadine, smiling at her daughter experiencing her first love.
"I already know that mom…. And I accept the fact that I am in love with Gurasu…..Furthermore the feeling I felt when I was with him made me want to be by his side forever", said Tsunade as she remembered her times with Gurasu.
"Did my daughter already fall in love in one day", said Nadine laughing at her daughter.
"Yes mom", said Tsunade, blushing.
"Well, If you want Gurasu to be in love with you.....Spend more time with him…..Know him more…..And Eventually, Gurasu will be in love with you", said Nadine who knew more about relationships than her daughter.
"I know that mom already….I am just worried about his status….He is the prince of the Chlos Kingdom and most likely he is going to become the crown prince in the future", said Tsunade thinking about Gurasu"s status.
"Have confidence in yourself dear…. And don"t worry…..Just interact with Gurasu more….And let your dad and mom take care of it", said Nadine.
"What do you mean, you will take care of it", said Tsunade.
"Dear, in the future we can propose that you and Gurasu become engaged with each other…. Furthermore, the royal family will be delighted to get a permanent ally", said Nadine, being proud of her plan.
"Thank you mom", said Tsunade, smiling at her mother.
"Don"t worry dear...Momma is always there for you", said Nadine hugging her daughter.
Nighttime, The royal palace
"What do I do now", thought Gurasu as he started to get comfortable on his bed.
"The only way to get stronger now is absorbing beings surpa.s.sing peak-knight level or becoming a wizard", thought Gurasu.
"I can now relax….If I can find a way to get stronger….I will do it", thought Gurasu.
