Chapter 21
I touch the Digimon Watch and see how it flies towards my wrist. After it secures my wrist it slowly starts to turn into a tattoo. How is that even possible?
After a few seconds the Watch has fused with my wrist and now there is a beautiful tattoo. The tattoo looks just like a watch, but with some weird symbols around it. I wonder how it works.
“Xeno, come here for a second” I order.
Xeno walks towards me and stops when he is two metres away from me. I point my wrist at him and start saying some stuff.
“Activate” nothing happens
“Digimon watch” Nothing.
“Evolve?” Nothing
“Work goddamit” ah it works.
A blue screen appears in front of me showing two sections. Evolve or devolve. I choose evolve and then it brings me towards the evolve page. I see four possible evolutions that seem beneficial.
This is interesting. Sorry Xeno, but I cannot evolve you yet. You simply do not have enough points yet.
“Lian, how does your status look like?” Lily asks.
“Why do you want to know that?”
“I am curious”
“Status”
Umm, what?
Why is there a 2.0 ?
“And how is your status?” Lily asks
“Wait one second Lily”
I appraise the summoning of Viarsamitor 2.0.
Ummm, alright? This is a good thing I guess.
I begin to explain to Lily what happens and at the end she has the same look in her eyes as me.
“Can unique powers even evolve?”
“Apparently they can” I answer
“SCREECH”
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Ah that’s right.
“Xeno’s child, I have found a suitable name for you” I point at Xeno.
“From now on your name is Mana”
Lily who was drinking water spat out water.
“Wait, what?”
“SCREECH” Mana screeched.
“I am glad you like it” I nod content.
“Anyway Lily, when can we start travelling?”
Lily looks at me like I am some kind of weird alien before answering
“We can start travelling now if you want to” she answers.
“Alright Xeno, can you carry both of us?”
“click”
“Great, now Mana look after the other kids alright?”
“HISSSSS”
Mana turns around and enters the forest. I then walk up to Xeno and climb on his back.
“Lily are you coming?”
“Oi, wait a second we still have to take our stuff”
“Ah”
Couple minutes later
“Let’s go Xeno” I say. Lily sits in front of me and I behind her since I do not know the way. Ow whelp guess that I am going to sleep.
Right before I enter my sleep I think of something very frightening. Can it be that I also gain the experience of the kills from the other kids like Mana?
1 Month Later
Two figures are seen walking on the main road towards the capital of Eren. These figures are Lily and Lian. There are however a few differences if you compare Lian with the Lian from a month ago.
First difference is that Lian isn’t wearing his Gantz bodysuit. The second difference is that Lian has an ring like tattoo around his forefinger. Last but not least is that he looks a lot stronger than before.
What has happened this past month?
First things first it appears that the scary thought that I had was true. My body became stronger by the day. I removed my armour a few hours ago since we do not want to attract too much attention. I turned it into a tattoo and now on my back is a scorpion tattoo.
The second thing that happened was that I began to spar with Lily. I got my ass kicked for around ten days before I learned enough to attack back. After twenty days we always had a tie so I learned quite some things from Lily.
The third thing that has happened was that after summoning God knows what I finally succeeded in summoning a status manipulator. It was a ring that allows me to change things in my status. The only thing that it hides now is my unique power.
Last but not least I found out that with the Digimon Watch I am also able to evolve myself or Lily. I of course did not evolve us, but it is handy to know that we can do it.
Anyway after walking for a while we finally arrive at the destination. A huge city with walls and a lot of defence mechanisms. We walk to the gate, but get stopped by the guards.
“You have to pay a toll of five copper a person” The guard states.
Lily takes out a big copper coin and gives it to the guard. The guard bites the coin to see if its real and then allows us to pass through the gate. Have I ever explained the currency?
1 Copper
1 Big copper= 10 copper
100 Copper=1 silver
1 Big silver= 10 silver
1 Gold= 100 silver
1 Big Gold= 10 gold
1 white coin= 100 gold
1 Big white= 10 white gold
So this is the currency. Of course houses in villages cost a lot less than in capitals and so forth.
Anyway now that we have entered the city we can start our plan. Hmmm? What is the plan?
1. Find an inn
2. Find an auction house
3. Find the tournament sign up
This is the plan. I follow Lily while she walks through the streets. I have no idea where we are going but I trust her knowledge. After some time we arrive at an inn with a board that says “The White Oak.”
Lily enters the inn and so do I. The inside of the looks like a medieval bar, but with a cozy atmosphere. Lily walks towards the bar and rings a small bell. A few seconds later a huge male enters through the backdoor. He is absolutely huge.
“Yo Gordon, do you have any rooms for rent?” Lily asks while smiling happily.
“HAHAHAHAHA LILY” the man Gordon roars “HOW ARE YOU DOING GIRL?”
Wait is he talking at normal volume?
“Hahaha you haven’t changed Gordon” Lily continues to smile. “Do you have any rooms?”
“SURE I HAVE THEM” Gorgan answers “IS THAT BOY WITH YOU?”
“Yes he is” Lily starts to introduce us “Lian this is Gordon, Gordon this is Johns son Lian”
“FOR REAL?” Gordons exclaims “YOU’RE THE BOY OF JOHN?”
I nod. I am more or less overwhelmed by the man Gordon.
“ THIS IS GREAT, I ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET HIS SON AND NOW YOUR HERE” Gordon offers his hand to me and I shake it.
“NICE TO MEET YA LIAN” Gordon smiles a toothy smile.
“About those rooms Gordon” Lily begins again.
“YEAH I HAVE ONE LEFT, DO YOU WANT TO RENT IT?”
“Yes please, the usual price?”
Gordon nods and Lily takes out one silver.
“For seven days at least” Lily says.
“ALRIGHT” Gordon seems to get a key out of nowhere and hands it to Lily.
“ENJOY YOUR STAY” He smiles.
“Come Lian” Lily grabs my arm and pulls me to the stairs.
After walking up the stairs and walking towards the very end of the hallway lily opens the last door. The room is spacious and there is one bed in the room. It is a double decker. I walk around in the room and nod satisfied. This is perfect.
Lily sits on the bed and looks at me
“When do you want to go to the auction house?”
“In an hour or two. I want to lay in a bed for a while ” I answer while smiling towards me
Lily beams me a dazzling smile and answers with a me too. We both lay down in the bed and sigh out in relief. This is heaven.
