Ch#05 MACRONs
“What is this, a record?”
The first thing that he noticed was his blessings and curses, “these should be those balls of energy they put in me” having one of his questions answered he glanced back at the rows of red words
Slowly, he started to read his status “soul warrior?”
Considering him being able to use magic, Brian understood the class Magician, but all he could speculate about the soul warrior was to relate it to his mutated soul
Looking at the words, most of them made no sense. But after careful deliberation he concluded that the aura released by the magical creatures should be Mana, and the crystal that previously formed in his chest region was also a more refined form of it.
“So these parasites are called MACRONS”
Brian couldn’t help but salivate remembering the gush of energy he felt after consuming the macron.
“swallower,” A title which gave him the ability to eat macrons. What perplexed him was the Mana capacity. Seeing that eating a macron increases his dark Mana by 2 points how was he supposed to increase the capacity of light Mana
Brian grumbled looking at the pendant stuck to his chest
“But the Mana I gained has just been devoured clean by this thing”
Although he felt a bit sour about his first mana crystal, but he was happy with his gains
Brian once more looked at the withered body that was lying in the middle of the road surrounded by a large amount of people
“Looks like this is what happens when my very soul is completely different from others”
“It’s better to assume that along with my body, I seemed to have lost my connection with humans” As a human, although he didn’t fell love or compassion but there was still this feeling that they were of the same race.
When people slaughter a cow they don’t feel guilty, as to them it is not a fellow human it is just food.
Looking around Brian spotted the dark MACRON’s in his vicinity, but the intensity of their mana was much less compared to the previous man
“Considering I can only eat up to three macrons, I’d be better if I looked at other places”
Having made up his mind Brian started to walk around the streets his sight landed upon an old lady she was wearing a white scarf while being supported by a man who seemed to be her son. The MACRON on her neck had almost turned golden and was emitting globs of pure white light Brian could feel his third eye resonating with the golden macron.
The macron itself was giving off a soothing and caring aura reflecting its host’s thoughts causing the people who passed by her had a visible change in their mood.
When Brian looked at the macron he didn’t have the urge to swallow it, on the contrary he had a feeling that it was untouchable, as if it was protected by some unknown power
Brains eyes narrowed “well this is interesting” he began to approach the old women. When he stretched his hand towards the MACRON a ripple of energy emitted from it which shoved his hand to the side, he felt a piercing pain torment his magic eye as if someone was pricking it with a sharp needle. Brian clutched his head and started to scream, it was the first time in his whole life that he felt such a brutal pain the pain was much more severe than his previous experience, the pain lasted for a few seconds then stopped Brian hurriedly backed away from the old woman as he vigilantly glanced at her from a distance
“What the hell was that” he muttered, even remembering the pain gave him the chills.
BEEP the locket on Brian’s neck gave a piercing noise as it beeped with a red light and a row of words appeared in front of him
“User has made contact with a Lv. 2 MACRON”
“User has made contact with a blessed MACRON”
“User is advised to refrain from making further contact”
Brian eyes twitched while black lines started to appear on his forehead
“The MACRONS have a level too, and from the looks of it I have to be on the same level as them if I even want to touch them”
“But what does the blessing mean” Brian pounded on the pendant in hopes of getting an answer, but to his disappointment the pendant remained unresponsive
“for now let’s focus on the dark elements” Brian started to move around the city in order to find a dark MACRON similar to the man in suit, during his search he passed by a dark alley from which he heard a shrill scream, judging from the sound it seemed to be a desperate plea of a woman.
“A woman?” a cold smirk appeared on Brian’s face as he proceeded into the alley. He could see the concentration of dark elements increasing as he got closer to the voices
“Help! Somebody help me PLEASE”
“heh, heh scream all ya want slut nobody is gonna fucking hear ya”
“ya boss and I gonna give ya a fuckin ride”
Walking through the alley he could see the dark elements flying towards a certain direction “Seems like I am close, judging from the voices there seems to be two male and a single female”
Brian continued to advance but he stopped in front of a concrete wall about 2.5 meters long, when he looked above the dark particles seemed to gather at the other side of the wall, he could even hear the pitiful screams of the women as the two men tore off her clothes
“A wall” Brian felt himself fall into a dilemma, “what am I supposed to do, I can’t even jump considering that I am a spirit”
“Wait… yes a spirit” Brian slowly placed his hand on the wall, but instead of stopping his hand went into it, when he moved forward his whole body vanished into the wall.
“That felt weird” coming out of the other side Brian observed his soul for any particular change “it seems I can move through walls now”
“Suga boss check this bitch, she has a nice pair”

“Fuck, get off man” suga pushed the other man aside “I am first”
The women had almost all of her clothes torn apart exposing her petite body. She was desperately trying to cover her privates with her bruised hands. The look in her tear filled swollen eyes were filled with helplessness and despair.
One of hoodlums had a large build with his hair dyed red, the second one looked extremely sinister, he had a very skinny build, his face was covered in tattoos and had piercings covering his nose, lips and ears
The thing that got Brian’s attention was a snake tattoo on the back of both of their hands
“Is this their gang symbol?”
NO! Screamed the women, looking at her despair filled eyes his body shivered with excitement marveling her helpless body.
“Don’t worry bitch, ya gonna feel real good real soon” Suga licked his lips as he took out a knife swiping it through the air
“Hey Rex hold this slut up”
Hearing Suga the red haired man face fell, but he still proceeded to grab the women’s hands despite her shrill screaming
“Don’t worry I won’t mess her up too much, ya will be able to have some fun as well”
Rex Expression brightened a lustful look appeared on his face, he took a deep sniff of the women’s hair
“Yes Suga boss, heh this bitch seems tight”
Brian saw the concentration of the dark elements drastically increase he could feel a faint amount of mana gathering inside of him as well, the vortex on his chest started to rotate once more waiting to devour
Looking at the MACRON’s he saw a black flame lit on top of them the felling they gave off was even more intense then the middle aged man
But when he looked at the women, he felt a bit baffled her macron was pulsating as it released an enormous amount of white elements Brian could hear its screaming its tongue stretched towards Brian pleading for his help, as if sensing a dangerous predator even the black macrons stopped releasing black flames as they made little squealing noises
Suga halted his footsteps, he shivered and cold sweat appeared on his forehead
“What the fuck was that” his eyes squinted into thin slits as he carefully inspected his surroundings.
Why did I fell such an immense sense of danger?
Holding the women Rex looked no better than Suga.
“Rex you felt it too”
“ya boss, that was fucking terrifying”
“You go check it out, see if someone is there”
The macrons seemed to have noticed me Brian halted his advancement as he studied the MACRONS
“Even if they do it’s inevitable”
Brian approached Suga and grabbed his MACRON. Suga twitched and fell on the ground withering into a bag of bones
Swallowing the MACRON he felt the energy fill him up
“I like this feeling, it feels so satisfying” Brian eyes turned cold and ruthless, he directed his gaze towards Rex
Ah! The women screamed while distancing herself from the dead corpse, Rex who was still busy looking turned around after hearing the scream
“What the fuck did ya do to boss you fucking cunt” Rex sprinted towards the women his eyes red and his muscles bulging
“No-No it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me” clutching her head the women started to scream.
A smirk appeared on his cloudy face when he saw Rex sprinting towards his direction the prey brought itself to the hunter
He grabbed the MACRON and swallowed it in one gulp the MACRON turned into fine threads of dark mana as it was devoured by the vortex turning into two grain sized crystals
When Brian finished swallowing the second dark MACRON, the light MACRON on the women’s neck started to pulsate as a glob of white light flew out of it into Brian
On previous ingestion’s Brian felt that whenever he ingested a dark MACRON a part of him still remained locked now when the glob of white light entered him he felt that lock shatter and his whole soul brimming with energy
The locket once again gave a red light
“User has successfully obtained light mana essence”
“User dark mana is maximized for the current level”
“User light mana is maximized for the current level”
“User is advised to level up and absorb more essence”
Seeing the notification a smile appeared on Brian’s face.
“Reached the maximum capacity for mana” Brian traced the gem on the pendant with his fingers
“Need to level up?”
“How in the world do you want me to accomplish that?”
Brian sighed warily scratching his head
“For now I should find my lab to perform some tests”
Light was coming of a huge computer screen lightning up the dark room, in front of the screen sat a blonde man, His facial features were obscured by the darkness only his blue eyes were visible which shone with a severe light as he focused on the screen
“Later this evening a body of a male was found on the streets of Tokyo. The man Makuda Shunso was found dead his body completely withered. The doctors have yet to confirm his cause of death”
The man frowned, his brows etched upwards like a pair of sharp swords
“Ishihara what is the meaning of this”
“Sir, according to the reports a spatial gate was opened in Tokyo, according to the data gathered the gate was opened near the causality”
“What were the energy levels” asked the blonde man
“The energy levels indicated the transfer of a lv. 1 to lv. 2 being”
“Alright dispatch someone to investigate and deal with the issue before more bodies start to pile up” the blonde man stood up from his seat and disappeared into the darkness
“Yes sir!”
In a hotel somewhere In Tokyo
“Ah… yes baby… ah”
“Do it harder… ahn… yes more”
A man and women were enjoying a bout of heated sex, when the phone on the table next to the bed started to ring
“The fucking phone,” grunted the man he grabbed the women and shoved her aside
“But… baby I wasn’t done yet”
“Its work” the man looked at the number his gaze visibly sharpened, He motioned towards the women. This caused her to abruptly stand up and go out of the room showing her plum naked bottom
“Hunter Code 7810 here”
“Remove the target as soon as possible, payment and information has been sent to your personal GAT”
The man looked at the watch in his hand and pressed a button, which then displayed a number of words in front of him
“Mission rank F”
“Target is supposed to be lv.1 to lv.2”
“Payment 555000 yen”
“location Tokyo”
