Chapter 19 ( Re-edit )

Sitting beside a lake are two handsome golden furred monkies who are clearly related. Theyre both using crappy rods that were very odviously out together in a hurry. In between both the monkies was a bucket filled with a bit of water but oddly no fish. There wasnt anything special about the water in the bucket or the rods but the setting made one think of a pure relation ship between father and son.

" I have gotta say dad this is pretty relaxing though its odd we havent caught anything. I also have to say that I am sorry I havent spent more time with you and mom. "

" Its alright son, I understand the instinct to get stronger. It is something that your mother and I both had when we were your age, so for you I imagine it is pretty damn bad. "

" Is that what it is? I will be honest I thought that Goddes Angra Spentas had messed with my soul abit or something. There have been alot of instances that just dont connect the new me with the old me. "

" Yeah that is something that happens to most reincarnators that have had a race change. "

Solomon seemed kind of intrigued by the subject and asked his father if he could further explain.

" Of course I can. Alright so all beasts have instincts even sentient Legendary Beasts like us have a variety that we have to deal with on a day to day basis. We are territorial especially towards rival clans, we cant let an unrecognized person touch our wives or husbands. When we are young some of the clans will have the need to explore or conquer or experiment. You wont have to worry about instincts for the most part since both my and your mothers clans have cleaned out instincts from the system, but when you start exploring you will have some trouble coping. Thats whats affecting your emotions and attitude this is something that youll have to adapt to, its better to embrace them as they will never be a detriment to you.

" Its nice to know early or else I would start freaking out when I explore, and start trying to get rid of them or something.So dad there is something I have been kind of curious about, could you tell me how you and mom met, or was it maybe an arranged marriage? "

Han chuckled a little and started to reminisce about the past. So after though he answered his sons question.

" Both, actually. You see your mother and I met together on a battlefield. We were both adventures posing as demihumans in the humanoid countries, so anyway we both took the same mission from the mercenaries guild. The assignment was to repel the militia of a certain human country while our demi-human country invades from a different pass. Anyway the mission started and instantly your mother and I stood out. We were mowing through the enemies like a knife through water. Well I thought your mom was kind of cute, in an insane bloody kind of way, so I make my way to her to try and chat her up. I go up and say " Yo girl what up with you? " and well she instantly shot me down, and me knowing not to push it backed off for awhile. So around 9 hours later we got word that our country succesfully invaded and had captured the enemies royal castle. A few hours later Im at the bar celebrating and notice your mom drinking alone so I go up and tell her that she was " pretty badass out there ". Well this time she invites me to sit with her and one thing leads to another and we end up getting together as a couple of thrill-seekers adventuring around the world. We conqured countries, destroyed forests, we even dug an ocean just for the hell of it. At this point we were in love, but we both got a notice from our families saying that a marriage partner had been set up for us. We both came out and said we were legendary beasts roaming the world for adventure and fun. Well with both of us being about equal in status we decided to go to our clans together and try to get married. Hehe turns out we were already betrothed to each other. A few million years later and here we are, still in love with an insanely talented son and daughtr in law. "

" I will be honest almost all stories I have heard like that end up with you two running away together. "

" Hehe yeah there are alot of stories like that, and the thing is most of the time there clans could easily catch them. Its just completely wrong. So tell me, I heard you and Loretta had a run in with a God Fighter. Tell me about it. "

" Alright so Loretta and I were out on one of our little dates when we run into some douche. He almost instantly tries hitting on Loretta, and I get angry so I start trash talking of course. The dude is lucky Im not stronger yet or he would have got the shit knocked out of him. "

" Yeah Ive been in that situation a few times, your mom was a really popular marriage partner candidate. I have fought people from almost every major clan in the forest, and some outside of it. So be prepared because quite a few guys will try to get with Loretta. "

" I figured it would happen after seeing these sorts of situations in my DNA Memories. Anyway I heard you have a life time rival way back from the time you trained under Master, is that true? "

" You talking about MukAsura? "

" Yep. "

Once again Han reminisces while smiling just a bit. But Solomon didnt mind since considering how old his father is it wouldnt be a surprise if he litterally reminisced constantly. 

" Yeah that guy is a worthy rival, he is actually a child of a Fist boar God and God from the God fighter race. His mother is the God fighter, she was exiled from her clan after her parents died, since supposedly she wasnt talented, unknown to her clan she was just staying low-key. Anyway In her vengence she murdered alot of geniuses from her ex-clan that were out gaining experience, when she was on the run she was given asylum under the Fist Boars. To this day both races have massive competitions between the younger generation, as well as fights in shadows between there gods. Anyway I got off topic, so Mukasura was born only 100,000 years after his parents got together, which is super quick. When he was born there was a war between the two clans going on, and his mother birthed him in a cave and then went on a murder spree while he was suckling her teat. That means he was a fighter even right out of the womb, and you can tell to this dau how much of a battle maniac he is. Master started training him around 3 years after me, even though we were the same age. He challenged me the instant he was allowed, and I have to say I only beat him because of a staff technique I had started to learn around that time. We are tied on wins and losses with each having 13,273,994 wins and losses each. And no it doesnt get boring even after millions of years of competing. "

Solomon was wide eyed in surprise not only from MukAsuras past but also from the amount of battles he and Han had had.

Stolen novel; please report.

" Damn thats a pretty wild story, Im mainly impressed that you can fight some one with the title asura though. Unless you have a title of equal standing or something. "

When Han heard that he knew he had the perfect time to brag a bit to his son. 

" Hehehe, I aint tooting my own horn but your dad has the title God Before God, which is only granted to beings who have killed 100 hundred god before reaching God-Hood. To be honest though I am trying to get the Mortal God title, which you can only get if you kill 1000 gods before God-Hood. I have only 237 kills left before I get it. I am sssoooo pumped for it. "

" Is there a title you can get for killing 10,000 gods before God-Hood? "

" Nobody knows, maybe I should try to get. Though it would take so long that you could reach God level before me, ssooo maybe not. "

" Well dad, good luck maybe we can have a competition to see who gets an unknown title first. Your 10,000 gods killed or my peak physical stength. You wanna go? "

" Heh youre on kid, Im gonna destroy you. "

" You wish old man. OH I gotta bite! OOO its a feisty one. "

' Damn I think my rod is going to break, umm maybe I can strengthen it using Barrier Magic. Ill just replace my rod with a barrier after I catch this sucker. '

" Come on son pull that little prick in, you got it! Oh great use of magic, toughening your rod like that. "

' Man this thing is hard to reel in, maybe I should ask dad for help. Naw its just a fish, it isnt super important to reel it in. I should just have fun and if I dont catch it then it wasnt meant to be. ' 

Solomon wasnt talking at all and was instead putting all of his energy in trying to reel in the fish. After ten minutes of hard work Solomon finally brought in the creature.

" Man I cant believe it took ten minutes to catch an eel. Though I have never caught an eel before so I have no idea how hard they are catch. "

" Appraise it see what kind of species it is. "

" Why do you look smug? "

" I aint smug Im just happy you got an eel. Now hurry and appraise it. "

" Alright sheesh, settle down. Appraise. "

Species: Origin Eel

Age: Unknown

Lvl: Unknown

History: There is a theory that life was created when a bolt of lightning struck the ocean. The Origin Eel is born when tribulation lightning strikes and kills a legendary beast who is in an ocean. These eel are immortal from birth and can not level, which makes some belive the species is older than the multiverse itself.

Uses: This species is perfect for a magic grimoire or as a lightning or mana conductor. The skin can purify and condense any mana that goes through it. Its heart can raise lightning type skills by at least one mastery tier when eaten. Its brain is perfect to be used as an ingredient for a myriad of items.

" Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! What the hell why is this in a random lake. Dad what the heck is going on? "

" HAHAHA gotcha kid. "

" What do you mean, how did you get me? "

Confused Solomon had to ask his dad in order to clear the situation a little. After all its odd his dad is so calm despit catchning what is basically a mythological creature.

" This is a lake your mom and I discovered, it allows a person with enough destiny to catch only one fish per 1000 years. And every fish will be perfect match for that being at that time. This eel is better than my first catch, so feel proud. To be honest this eel species is basically a legend in the multiverse. "

Solomon wasnt genuinely surprised that there is such an over powered lake in a random spot in the forest. If news of the lake were to spread there would be brutal wars for countless years over who gets rights to the lake. Luckily Han and Shie never gave out any news on the lake or it could lead to a dreaded situation.

" Damn really? This lake is super OP though, you could totally abuse the hell out of it. Does any body else know about it? "

" Nope just you, me, and your mom. You can bring Loretta and your children here in the future, but thats it nobody else. "

" Yes father. "

" So you going to eat it, turn it into equipment, or save it for enchantments in the future? "

Solomon looked at the eel for a bit before he made his descision. He knew whatever descision he made could change his future, so he had to be careful. If other parties other than his famuly was there to witness his descision many of them would question Solomons sanity.

" I dont know, its kind of cute plus it seems smart and super innocent. It didnt even do anything to me. "

" You going to return it to the lake? "

" Uuuuuummmmmmmm, yeah, I kind of want to keep it as a pet, but I feel bad for the poor creature. "

Solomon then released the tiny eel back into the lake. All the while being watched by his smiling father.

" Be free little guy, its up to fate if we meet again, if we do meet in the future I shall keep you and name you. "

" You did a good thing son, I am proud of you. To be honest your mom and I would always return creatures to the lake. This was a kind of test to see if you are greedy or not. "

" Im greedy, just not heartless. "

" Haha good kid. Lets get back home we wont catch anything anymore anyway. "

" Sure dad. "

P.O.V change to Origion Eel

' You better let me go you little shit. Be lucky this grandmaster didnt bring out some of my Unagi martial arts on you. Lucky I didnt open a can o' whoop ass on you would have been crying from here to your mom. Hehe little punk thinks he can name me, if I see that punk again I shall teach him in place of his grandpa. '

P.O.V change back to Solo

" Hm thats wierd I feel like someone is talking about me. "

" Maybe its your mom and girlfriend gossiping. You might not know this but your mom loves gossip, when we adventured she would get close with noble women and gossip around all day. "

" Really? Mom just doesnt seem like the type. "

" Youd be surprised son, for a dragon your mom has some very mortal like qualities. "

" Well if it is the we should get home. "

After that Han picked Solo up put him in a formation to guard him and started traveling home at an insane speed. Trees, lakes, mountains, and even a tribe of elves were just some of the things that Solomon saw during the return trip. What seemed odd to him though was that he didnt see any of those things on the way there. Eventually though they both got home to the natural tree house safeoy and soundly.

" Mom were home. "

" Welcome home boys, how was you fishing trip? "

" Pretty good, though I only caught one fish. Well it was an eel actually but whatever same difference. How was your girls day with Loretta? "

" Great, we discussed lots of girls stuff. I showed her some weaving techniques. "

" I didnt know you could weave mom. I also didnt know that Loretta was interested in weaving. "

" She said that she plans to learn a technique involving it soon so she wanted some tips. "

" What technique? "

Solomon curious asked his mom what the technique was considering her recently found out gossiping status. But Shie just pulled a sly smirk and didnt tell Solo the technique.

" Its a secret, anyway your master left your next task here for you. He also said to live here for awhile. "

" Perfect I was planning on asking about that anyway, so whats my task? "

" You have to create a 10'x10'x10' functioning eco system using space magic. You can use dirt, water, and fire. It has to be able to last one whole day without you manuvering anything. "

" Thats going to be immpossible! "

" Naw your mom is an expert in space magics youll be fine. "

" Enough about that come here and tell momma how your fishing trip was. "

" Yes mom. "
