The Gene Gamer

"What is happening?" he muttered inside his mind as he watched himself standing there with a blank look on his eyes as if his consciousness had been separated just like a puppet.

He looked over to the other two. Hyper was looking at him with a solemn gaze, staring directly into his eye with a hint of cautiousness mixed within the solemnness.

Within his eyes, a symbol of fire that engulfed the heavens along with a crying Firebird that looked towards the heaven with a provoking glare. Together they formed a pair that had immense arrogance and destructive power.

Shock, fear and surprise surfaced in the eye of Sunilhan as the flow of energy in him became messy. His eyes slowly became red as he seemed to feel that his existence was going to get erased from the world. 

This time, he had truly put all his best into it.

...

As he looked downwards, he could see the expected water beneath him that had been frozen into ice. The ice moved and churned as the little ice particles formed a beautiful scene. But if a person were to get caught in this little vortex of ice particles, they are sure to be shredded into pieces in a moment.

The little ice particles seemed to be the source of light as they shined brilliantly within the dark woods, illuminating the surroundings with a touch of light that felt sharp and also aggressive. 

Looking sideways, he could see the wings that expanded from his back. The feathers that looked soft, if they were to be turned into a weapon it would be sure to turn into a sharp knife that would be able to slice through any metal. 

Just as he was checking his surroundings he heard a voice say "System inside his mind.

Right as the voice had ended, a blue screen with a dark outer line popped up inside his vision.

The content of the screen was:

Mission: Acquire the bloodline of the Feathered Serpent, Kukulkan

Mission completion rate: 24%

Reward: Acquire the gene of Kukulkan and comprehend the rune of chaos

Punishment: Lose the gene of Hraesvelgr

Location of the nearest bloodline descendant: 30 meters north 

...

Completed Missions: Acquire the bloodline of the Corpse Swallower, Hraesvelgr

Reward: Acquire the gene of Hraesvelgr and comprehend the rune of coldness

...

Looking at the screen, he felt shocked. Such a thing truly existed? The system that would give a boon to anyone and transform even a trash into a hero. Obtaining something would change your life forever. 

Theoretically, every fourth-tier runemaster could create such a thing but the compensation of a rune was just too extravagant for a reward so this variable had to be removed. 

It would be a great cheat, but owning such a thing wouldn't necessarily be a blessing either. 

Just as he had looked at the system panel, a force caught his consciousness as he was pulled out fiercely from the body of the serpent. 

With a dizzy mind, he woke up in his own body. He could feel the familiar energy flowing through his body and the changes that were happening to his surroundings.

The serpent of wind appeared before him as the ice particles gathered beneath his body, rotating to become a vortex.

Not noticing his sudden return, the two sides were still staring back at each other solemnly. 

As the glare continued, the spiritual energy along with the rune strings surrounding them was affected, forming a whirlpool of energy around them. The energy was stirred as they also started to release their powers doing certain damage to the surroundings.

The serpent looked grave as it noticed that Hyper and his energy was also here disrupting the environment. It also seemed like they were on the Kukulkan's descendant serpent. 

But after looking at things from the two people's perspective, he wouldn't have done anything big to save the serpent. Sensing no sincerity in the actions of the two, he decided to stay and gamble.

The energy around Sunilhan turned destructive as they would repel other energies or devour them completely and turn more powerful before devouring the energy around them to form a loop.

Blazing flames started came out from Hyper as they formed a circle rotating around his body. Looking as if it would burn everything around it, a hint of a goldish color was visible in its core.

The goldish flame rotated around the body of Hyper, with the speed it was rotating it looked as if a goldish red circle surrounded the physical body of Hyper. Just as it had rotated once, a faint illusion of a fire bird seemed to appear. 

Rotating twice, the illusion became clearer and on the fifth one, a loud cry was issued from it. Containing immense arrogance, the cry seemed to oppose the dignity of heavens.

Like this when the circle had rotated ten times, the body of Hyper had almost turned into a firebird as flames started spewing out from his body.

For Cylius, a black mist was created around him that covered everything within it, knowing if anything was happening in it was impossible, as the mist barrier had cut off any form of perception.

Just as the whirlpool had suddenly formed, the whirlpool around Hyper disappeared following him. 

Only the whirlpool around Sunilhan and the serpent didn't disappear as the force intensified, bringing destruction to the surrounding terrain. 

The rocks were disintegrated and the water was turned into steam. 

With the surrounding terrain completely upheaved, the trees had already escaped and some unfortunate ones that didn't escape in time had their whole body extinguished.

As the serpent moved his tail towards them, the little ice crystals floating in the air suddenly turned their direction at Sunilhan, before it turned into a beam. 

A loud hiss came from Sunilhan as the energy around it were turned into a shield. As the beam collided with the shield, it directly pierced through it continuing its way to Sunilhan. 

Once again, another shield rose up, blocking the beam. But the beam didn't stop there as it tore through it and disrupted the energy balance, dissipating the shield. The vertical pupils of the snake trembled as it dodged to the side.

The beam at a fast speed, directly pierced through the right side of Sunilhan's head. Blood splattered as a large hole was made in the head of Sunilhan. But the blood turned into steam midair as it didn't land on the ground.

With blood flowing all over its face, Sunilhan hissed as his forked tongue pointed at Jamundar. 

Seeing Sunilhan hissing at him, Jamundar grinned slightly as it raised its head and spread his wings all over. 

Just as he did that, a fierce blue aura radiated from his body, freezing all things it passed by.

Seeing the rapidly approaching blue, a black hole appeared right beside Cylius as he entered into it. Right as the black hole vanished the blue aura reached the place he was in, it froze the ground along with the water droplets that were floating above his head.

Seeing this, Hyper hesitated for a moment before he turned into a gigantic firebird and fled the scene. 

Leaving a fire trail, it cried out at the sky where a faint ray of light was shown, before flying away to the distance. 

The aura had extended for a kilometer radius before stopping, making the whole area into a frozen land forbidden to life. 

The lake and the creatures, without exception, all froze into ice as an eery silence ensued. 

At the place where Sunilhan was, only a giant ice statue of 10 meters remained. There were no signs of heartbeat, blood flow, or any type of energy circulating within the statue indicating death. 

After seeing the dead statue of Sunilhan along with Cylius and Hyper escaping, Jamundar heaved a sigh of relief before bright red blood came out gushing from his mouth. 

After blood stopped coming out, he looked paler than usual with the luster in his eyes also very weak. But as if a certain force was replenishing it, the complexion of him was slowly recovering. 

Gritting his teeth, he then spelled out a serious of tongue-twisting words, that seemed to change the surrounding aura. 

Whispers and screams that weren't loud but penetrating to the soul came out from the surroundings as the frozen statue seemed to be in the center of all of it. 

Black skulls came out on the statue as cracks spread, in the end, the ice shattered into thousands of pieces, leaving only the body of a snake with feathers left. 

Blue aura had dominated the dead corpse of Sunilhan as his feathers had lost their luster. 

After ten minutes of chanting twisted words, Jamundar opened up his mouth and faced upwards before his tail flashed to wrap around his right eyeball.

The movement very smooth, the eyeball was taken out of its eyesack and held in by the tail. 

"This one has a high heritage, hope it's worth the loss" muttering the sentence, he called out 'bloodline absorption' before he threw the eyeball to the head of Sunilhan.contemporary romance

The eyeball stopped above the head of Sunilhan, as black gas formed around the air and wrapped it inside. 

After some time, the black gas dissipated leaving only a black ball with a triangle pupil and a blood red spot in the middle of the pupil.

The corpse of Sunilhan shrank and shrank until it was turned into an eyeball with azure iris. 

The two eyeballs collided with each other, as the original eye of Jamundar disintegrated into mist again and the mist was devoured by the other with the iris becoming dark blue. 

The single eyeball suspended in the air looked very bizarre as it seemed to be devouring the surrounding energy and giving rise to a very destructive one. 

But soon after, a barrier came out from the air as it kept the one eye firm in place. Runes with different colors emerged on the surface.

Suddenly the runes seemed to grow close to each other as they connected to become a large intersecting X. 

In the end, the barrier shrunk and shrunk until it perfectly fit the eyeball. From outside view, it seemed as if densely packed little runes had been engraved onto the eye. 

Just looking at it once would make their head go dizzy with a sudden urge to vomit will appear. 

Looking at the eyeball that just seemed to be a magic artifact, Jamundar hissed and approached it, slithering on the ice. 

As he came closer and closer to the eye, the eyeball trembled furiously as it seemed like it wanted to leave the place and escape to. 

In the end, Jamundar came right beneath it and spread his wings before flapping it once and coming right in front of the eye. 

The densely packed runes moved around the eye as it forced it to get to the empty eye sack of Jamundar. 

As Jamundar felt comfort and warmth spreading in my body, he heard a ding inside my head. Not too much surprised about it, he saw a blue screen pop inside his consciousness.
