Chapter 47 I See Your Determination.
>>Host Has Lost a Slave<<
>>Slave Ganja the Blacksmith deceased<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded 10 points for changing Major Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, you have been awarded 5 points for changing Minor Fate<<
>>Congratulations Host, Blood bond formed<<
>>Congratulations Host, You Have a new weapon: Devil's Touch<<
This series of notifications appeared before Chiron's eyes. Some like the loss of a slave were expected. But others like the awarding of points were not expected. Also, this was the first time he was receiving points for changing Minor Fate.
The last time Fate concerning another person was changed, it was Elder Fatso. And Chiron still remembered very well what that resulted to. However, he did not understand why killing Ganja awarded him Fate points. He was about to hit the "Check what changed button," but was distracted by the person in front of him.
It was Emma. She bowed at his feet with her forehead touching the ground.
"I am willing to follow Master Chiron till the Day I die," She muttered lowly, "I'll sign the slave blood pact."
However, to her surprise, Chiron turned about on the spot. He did not even take a second look at her as he walked away.
Ganja was different. In other words, Ganja was useful. However, in his eyes, Emma was not. Even if some use was there, he currently could not see it.
Chiron currently only had space for three blood pacts. There was no way he was going to waste one of his slots on her.
But as he walked away, an idea suddenly came to his head. With the things Emma had seen him do, Won't it be easier to just get rid of her in order to avoid future troubles? After all, the things she had seen him do were no easy feat. A boy the age of eight should not be capable of even one of them.
A malicious glint passed through his eyes and he turned about sharply. Devil's touch in his hand vibrated slightly. It felt its master's bloodlust and it made the sword very excited.
However, the moment he turned, he was surprised to see that she had followed him on her knees. This was a smithy. The ground was anything but smooth.
Chiron looked at the trail behind her. Yes, there was a trail.
Somehow, Emma could feel that Chiron had no use for her. Women were always more sensitive to body language. She could very well tell that if she did not impress this little monster. Sooner than later, she was going to regret it. On top of that, she had nowhere else to go. Nor who to run to for help.
But she also knew she did not possess the qualities that Chiron desired. For crying out loud, she was not even a world beauty. And when she looked into Chiron's eyes, she could tell that even if she was beautiful, he would still do away with her.
He was just eight years old, but he carried a different kind of demeanor. Emma had been with different kinds of men just to secure a living. She had met many of them and knew that there was only one way to secure Chiron's attention.
Chiron looked at the trail she left behind. It made him frown a little. The reason was simple. It was BLOOD.
To show her determination, she dragged her knees on the floor after him. The blood was not a lot, but it was definitely there.
Chiron smiled at the side of his lips. Then he took a step back. To his astonishment, she did not raise her legs but dragged them through the uneven ground toward him.
The sound of which reminded, Chiron of bunk grinding against a tiled floor.
Another step back and she did the same thing. And then another and another.
By now, her blood was really being left behind with pieces of flesh. Chiron squat low. He lifted her head up. Her face was filled with tears, but she gritted her teeth and did not utter a sound.
"I have seen your determination. But if for any reason you should fall behind," he came closer to ear, and whispered into it like a seducing lover, "I'll ensure a meeting with your father."
On hearing those words, she swallowed hard. Such nice words from Chiron might not have been threatening to other people, but to her, a person that had just watched Chiron rip out her father's beating heart from the chest. Those were words leaking out the Reaper's own tongue.
"Clean this place, and wait for me back home," Chiron ordered and continued about his business with the Fate Change system.
However, he suddenly remembered he was running late for class.
At this rate, he was not going to make it in time. He was currently in the slums behind the market, and the distance from where he was to the Academy was really far. Both points were ends from each other.
He suddenly had an idea, "I wonder what will happen if I put some more points in luck." This thought process made him nod his head.
Also, he looked at his hand, "there is no way I can walk on the street with this sword. At least I can't bring it out until I get to the Academy.
However, Ganja never made a scabbard for the sword.
Chiron suddenly remembered a particular feature of the Fate change system that allowed for the storage of items. Immediately, he opened the system.
//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//

Stamina=90

Major Fate changed= 10 points
Minor Fate changed=5 points
Blood Pacts= 1/3
Blood Pact partner= Bama the Merchant.
>>Please allocate points<<
Chiron immediately allocated 5 points to his luck. As much as he wanted to add more, who knew when emergencies would occur? Even wealthy men saved for a rainy day.
Next, he scrolled through the system and found what he was looking for. There was storage space of different sizes. Naturally, there all came with their corresponding prices, and levels that they could be unlocked. For now, Chiron went for the smallest one.
This was the size of a room of Medium dimensions. It was 10×16 in feet or 3.04×4.87 in meters.
>>5 points to Unlock storage space<<
Chiron willed and the storage space was unlocked.
He concentrated with his mind and Devil's touch disappeared from his hand. it appeared in the storage space.
Chiron nodded his head. His stats had now become.

He smiled and headed out of the house to the academy.
Chiron did not know, but it was his allocation of points to Luck that resulted in ....
