Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

At the moment, luck had played its role. Just a slight shift of Nora's weight on his body had helped him.

Chiron gritted his teeth as he stretched as hard as he could. His middle finger, only barely brushed against Devil's touch. But it was enough. This was all that was required for the sword to hear its master's call.

Immediately, the sword was attracted to Chiron's hands like metal was attracted to a magnet.

At this point, Cablen's sword was merely a few inches away from cutting the brother and sister pair into two.

Chiron knew for certain that if Cablen succeeded in killing him, no severe consequence will befall him.

Although killing Nora would invite the anger of the clan, it would not be as far as to also kill him. After all, he was still an A-grade Dantain cultivator.

At most, Chief Dona would tell Aleen that Cablen had done it on impulse. Which of course was a normal regular thing with children.

But most importantly, his rise to the top would end even before it had the opportunity to start.

Chiron had to give it his all.

The muscles in his hand bulged tightly. The need for survival pushed his brain to release the limiters it had on Chiron's reaction timing and speed.

Chiron gritted his teeth so hard that it made audible sounds in Nora's ears.

This was it. He was going to have to give it his all.

Devil's touch felt it. It's master's need for its strength, and so without even waiting for Chiron to verbally give permission, it connected with its master's feelings as it drank Chiron's blood.

The blade glowed Crimson as Chiron only barely, by the skin of Devil's touch edge, block the attack.

*CLANG!!!*

A loud ringing sound was heard.

The student's attention was brought to what just happened.

Cablen had lost. yet, he attacked his opponent after the match.

Cablen attacked once. Chiron had blocked it. However, he was not satisfied and wanted to attack again, but when he brought his sword down, he noticed something wrong. His sword was halved.

It was at this time that Elder Joules rushed in and smacked Cablen.

Cablen fell a distance away coughing up blood.

"CABLEN!!!" Elder joules called to him with a very stern expression on her face, "how dare you? What do you think you are doing?"

Cablen still wanted to rush forward but Elder joules stood before him.

It was at this point that his tense nerves calmed down as he realized the consequences of what he had just done.

Meanwhile, Nora immediately stood up from Chiron's body. She looked at her brother and screamed as her tears watered down.

Her scream was the last thing Chiron heard before his hand dropped Devil's touch and the light in his eyes faded into darkness.

...

Slowly, Chiron opened his eyes to a familiar ceiling. Seeing this, he tried to rush up as he sat up right. But the pain he felt from his body sent him back to the bed.

His entire body was screaming in very uncomfortable pain. He groaned lowly as he tried to sit upright again.

He barely managed it, but he felt a lump in his chest and he cough it out to his side.

As one would expect, it was blood.

he coughed some more.

"Big brother! thank goodness. you are finally awake." Nora heard his coughing and ran into the room.

She patted his back and used a cloth to clean the blood stains around his mouth before passing him a bowl of warm water to drink.

At first, he was slow but soon realized how thirsty he truly was and greedily drank from the bowl.

Chiron felt better, but just water alone was not going to help with the pain he was feeling.

"Big brother! you should really take it easy! The physician said you have severe internal injuries and that you lost a lot of blood."

Chiron breathed heavily. The last thing he remembered was the sneak attack from Cablen. Some how, he managed to have survived. Chiron looked at his body. He was as good as an Egyptian Mummy that was ready to be buried.

He had bandages everywhere except on his face.

"So I did not die?" Chiron whispered to himself.

Nora heard his words and frowned, "Big brother! don't say such things. What do you mean by that? Do you rather die than stay in this world with your cute sister!?"

Chiron heard her words and it made him crack a smile, "come here!" he pulled her close and stroked her head a little. "My cute Ra ra. It seems that I made you worry a lot."

Nora nodded as she hugged him, and soon, she was shedding tears.

Chiron consoled her until she stopped crying, and then he asked her to let him sleep a little.

However, the moment she left the room, the smile on his face disappeared.

The first thing Chiron did, was to activate the system.

As expected, he had notifications.

Chiron saw his current stats and sighed loudly. At the end of the day, it was a pretty wise decision for him to have had some points in case of emergencies.

By now, Chiron had some knowledge as to how LUCK worked. On top of that, he was slowly seeing a pattern as to how Fate's attacks worked.

Keeping points behind was not at all a bad plan. It was like having money for a rainy day. Next, Chiron noticed that the effects of Luck were like waves at a sea. It was easier to see the effects of the wave at its center than far off.

This meant that Luck affected firstly the immediate problem to be solved and its effects then dilute into the general.

The next thing he noticed was that Fate was a bit merciless with its attacks. It attacked at points when Chiron was almost defenseless. Both times it had attacked so far, had nearly taken his life.

Yet another thing was that Fate could use anybody as an instrument for its malicious attacks.

The first time, it played on the curiosity of Elder Fatso, and then the pride of all the other elders. Now, it played on the vanity of Cablen's pride.

Chiron could not help but feel cold shivers run down his spine.

These incidents with Fate so far heavily reminded him of a particular movie he watched in his former world called FINAL DESTINATION (p.s: If you have not watched these movies, you should give it a try. its nice.)

Chiron remembered that the entity after lives in that movie was Death itself, and it used a series of coincidences to claim the lives of its victims.

Although it seemed a little different, the aim at the end of the day, remained the claiming of life.

The first time, Chiron had barely made it out alive by self harm. And this time around, he had also done the same thing.

So far, he had been lucky enough to have had people around him that had prompted to save his life after his unlucky encounters with Fate.

A scary thought suddenly came to Chiron's head.

What if Fate made another attack, and he self-harmed? And then, they was nobody to help save his life.

This was indeed a very scary thought.

In fact, it was beyond scary. After all, he could not be that lucky every time. On top of that, he had chosen to walk a path where he had to fend for himself alone.

Of course, this was a decision he made because he knew very well many events that were going to take place in the future. One of them being the upcoming destruction in a few more years. Chiron was at the moment, very pressed for time.

"Shit! I really need to get power!"

Even though Chiron had been working hard, and for a long time too, things were not moving as fast as he wanted.

There was also that thing.

There were many things he did not know about the Fate system. Since he had some time on his hands, it was high time he did one or two experiments.

Firstly, Chiron looked at his highest points gathered, which was under health. He decided to full it up to a hundred and see what happens.

He immediately sent five points to health.

The results were not what he expected.

The Stats had become:

//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//
