The Gene Gamer

Chapter 30: Monster Hunt

In a forest filled with towering trees that reached the heavens a falling noise came out together with a mournful cry of a beast. A pair of hands were resting on the huge beast's abdomen, the pair of hands were extremely pale with long and sharp nails that looked deadly. A stream of vibrant red droplets were coming out of the beast's body entering the pair of hands.

The droplets exuded great vitality from within them as they were on the line of being illusionary and real. Even though the great amount of vitality entered the pair of hands, its color didn't change one bit, still extremely pale with a shade of gray. Instead the deathly and sickly aura surrounding the hands seemed to be strengthened, making people who looks at it feel sick.

The pair of hands were from a sickly pale boy with the color gray mainly reflecting from his body, anyone who had seen the pale hands wouldn't be shocked one bit after seeing the main body.

The carcass of the huge beast without its head was getting thinner and skinnier by the second, visible to the human eye. Soon after the carcass of the beast turned into bones and after awhile the bones also turned into powder. The boy then got up to walk to the severed head of the beast, his eyes looking straight into the lifeless eyes of the beast.

The pair of pale hands pulled out the exquisite saber from his waist and precisely cut a couple of times. When the cut parts fell it revealed a perfectly fine brain that hadn't been damaged in the slightest. A solemn expression appeared on the boy's face as he touched the brain slightly.

Suddenly Cylius's mind underwent a massive change as it appeared in a completely new environment. The place was in a cave with the scene of a huge beast like the previous dead one. Cylius could hardly see anything due to the scene that was constantly switching between darkness and the cave.

"Ha" Cylius let out a tired breath as he collapsed onto the ground helplessly, after some time he stood up and his face revealed an uncommon expression of delight.

'It worked. Finally I could search memories directly from the brain!' That's right, he could now access the memories of creatures. The key was his incredible perception and control over things along with the power that he had recently sensed developing within him. If he were to describe it it would be some sort of psychic power, it may sound incredible but now he could move some small objects with his mind.

It was directly related to his perception and brain development. It was said that the average person was only able to use 10% of his brain, he was already an incredible genius to begin with and his brain development would also be more advanced from normal people but he suspected that because of the seal he couldn't control them from birth.

Otherwise he may have been able to move them from birth. The seal was unsealed when his yin energy made a breakthrough, even now his perception and brain development was increasing steadily and he didn't know how long it would increase. But he wasn't so concerned as he could do nothing about it.

It was already a week after coming here, already a fourth of the time needed to spend here. During the three week span of time mostly it was smooth, not much away from here there was a river but he didn't fear the beasts besieging him. He had killed another beast before and molded the lifeforce of the beast into its own aura. Therefore the surroundings beasts didn't bother with him one bit.

To mold the beast's lifeforce into the aura of it was almost impossible for other people but his control over it made it easy to do so. The journey until now was smooth and he didn't encounter any powerful beasts he couldn't deal with.

The forest was full of life, various types of beasts lived here each of them forming their own territory. The weak banded together while the strong alone had their own territory. The universal energy here was also very abundant, if he cultivated here for some time he could definitely advance to the halfling stage.

The first grade was divided into the partial, halfling, maturity and the limit break stage. Each gene had a huge potential, just that the gene returns to the primitive state after a human steals it. So the genes were decided by their maturity. Partial was simple every person who had absorbed their first gene would be at this stage, it was also at this stage that a genetician would be at their weakest.

Halfling would be half mature and could be said to have a considerable power. After that would be maturity and almost every person could reach this stage after some cultivation. The gene would be at its prime level. The limit break stage was special, as its name suggests it was the act of breaking the limit of the gene and advancing to the next stage.

The power displayed would be terrifying and each of the people would be a powerful force. But it had its difference weaker grade gene would be easier to break through while the stronger grade gene would be harder to breakthrough.

The advantage of the people with innate genes come here, due to their powerful ancestors they would have no bottlenecks in their road of innate gene cultivation and they were promised to become limit break geneticians if no accidents happened.

There were three ways one can have an innate gene. First to get passed down from a powerful ancestor. The second would be gaining through power. Powerful people's physical body would be different from normal people, more monster like if described. Because of it there is the chance of them gaining/awakening/creating their own gene.

The third was the most rare of the three and the chances of it happening would be abysmally low. Like how monsters were created people would gain their own genes even if they were weak.

To pass down an innate gene the ancestor would have to have a powerful cultivation at least at the third grade and the chances weren't guaranteed, but powerful genes would have a more chance at awakening. It was an extremely slim chance so each of the people with innate gene were regarded as geniuses. The only problem of it was that the descendant were destined to not be greater than the ancestor, they would be shackled from birth!

The second would be the powerhouses creating their own gene the most suitable for themselves. It would be the accumulation of their everything mind, body, genes everything, and it would be very powerful.

The last would be like the heaven's will, the creation of a new race! They were destined to do great things and they faced powerful suppression from humanity because of their 'monster' nature. They would have no sincerity and each of them were extraordinary from birth. High intelligence, powerful body each of them showed a peculiarity.

They were deviant existences if described, they fitted in neither the monster society nor the human society because they liked to devour creatures to perfect their own genes! They were moving disasters, because of them the Federation and the monsters had suffered great!
