Calamity Upon This World

Chapter 16: Ch-16 The thing hindering growth and changes in status screen

While having divine aspects may sound like a dream and a easy route to the top of the world, there's something about them most people don't know.

All divine aspects have a flaw, normal aspects don't have these flaws.

For William his aspect gave him horrible luck and the small chance of his personality being affected.

William wasn't worried about the latter effect as his mental strength was very high due to his past life.

The problem came from the first part of the flaw, while having bad luck in exchange for all that his aspect granted him may not be too bad.

However, the scale of this bad luck is simply far too absurd.

The reason a hydra showed up on the day of his birth was due to his flaw.

After that dragons or other monsters would keep appearing almost everyday.

Once a army of hundred dragons showed up.

"The worst part is the flaw gets stronger, the higher the quality of my mana" he muttered

The only reason William is still alive is due to his father being the Sword Saint and the mana around him being thinned out to the absolute extreme and him wearing a suppression ring most of the day.

If he didn't need to worry about his flaw he could've gained an golden core by now.

Due to his flaw, he can only use his mana for a hour or two per day before his flaw starts acting up.

Ideally William wanted to adventure the word particularly the Voidworld to gather natural treasures and lifeforce for his aspect abillities.

However, with this flaw he'd die in less than a week.

"How annoying" William muttered with a troubled expression.

"Whatever, I'll think about this later, for now let's focus on something even more interesting"

While William was looking at his skills he didn't miss the changes in his status screen.

His intelligence had grown by 100 points increasing his BF from 1156 to 1256, his resistance had also grown by one minor grade.

Another change was his hand to hand combat going up to intermediate+ grade as well as addition of Photographic memory in his masteries.

This must be why he suddenly remembered all details in both his life.

William had a pretty good guess about why all this happened as he clicked on the new section which appeared in his status screen.

[1st page unlocked]

------------------------------------------------------------

"Lega-legacy of the great sage" William said his voice expressing his shock.

'It looks like I've inherited the memories of my predecessor' William thought with a smirk on his face.

That's right this great sage was the first ever divine aspect user and just like William he too was a [Child Of Mana] and now William had inherited his legacy.

Without any hesitation William decided to click on the first page of memory he had unlocked.

The next second William once again blacked out as his consciousness took a peak at his predecessors life.

*****

A blonde haired boy barely 8 years old with bright yellow eyes and unblemished pale skin could be seen playing with a few other kids of similar age.

2 children were standing barely 300 inches apart from each other, one of them holding a rubber ball around the same size as a football.

Between the two children was a cute looking blonde boy with a calm expression on his face and hands in his pockets as if he didn't even care about the kids aiming for him.

Standing a bit further from the boys were 6 other kids who seemed to have already been eliminated.

The children seem to be playing some variation of a game which resembled dodge ball.

" ***** I'm gonna get you this time for sure" Said a black haired youth with a angry expression on his face.

"Sure you will noel" The blond youth retorted

The black haired youth called Noel seemed to have said the name of the blonde youth however, for some reason William wasn't able to understand it and it just sounded as gibberish to him.

After some thinking William was able tor remember what his mother once told him 'one must not say the true name of God'.

With this William could guess that the blonde youth was the one who's legacy he inherited and also the one who ascended to godhood in the future.

As the Noel threw the ball towards the blonde boy, the boy easily managed to dodge the ball without any effort.

The boy standing opposite Noel quickly grabbed the ball and shot it at the blonde boy hoping to catch him offguard.

However, the blonde boy didn't even glance at the ball coming towards him or the boy who shot it and yet he still managed to dodge it.

After an hour of back and forth the boy called Noel finally dropped down as he said.

"It's just not fair ***** how are we supposed to compete against you when we don't have mana, I give up"

"Wow what a loser" The blonde boy retorted.

All the kids started laughing hearing the blonde boys remark.

Just as the kid's were laughing at the expense of their friend, the were suddenly overwhelmed by a ominous presence.

All the children aside from the blonde boy fell down

Some of them started crying, some vommiting on the ground and others just passed out.

Standing a little further away from them stood the malefactor donning a hideous grin which would send shivers down the bravest soul.

The malefactor was a tall black humanoid entity with its left arm reaching it's waist while it's right arm was touching the ground.

The entity stood at a massive 3 feet in height, it had a slim body with a face that came straight out of nightmares.

It had no lips, nose or ears only a crooked set of long yellow teeth and small white eye's with no pupils.

The entity was drooling looking at the kids and was also emitting a murky purple hue.

Looking at his fallen friends the blonde boy stared at the entity with silent rage in his eyes as he said.

"How annoying a demon shows up just when I try to play with my friends"

Hearing the boys words the demon charged at the boy in a mad frenzy.

However, right before the demon could make contact with the boy the whole scene froze as if someone had stopped time itself.

In his confusion William heard a voice from behind him.

"So did you have a peek at my life boy?"
