outskirt of town,
Theo was walking along the road to his house, he was so happy today, that he didn't even notice that someone was following him. He was thinking about how he should live from now on, as he got so much money, considering what he save over the years. it was 120 gold coin, which was enough for him to live comfortably for a year. Theo was just a kid and he doesn't have much to buy, so he was little bit reluctance to keep the money, nobody knows what troubles it might bring to him. just like now.
When Theo reach outer area of the forest, the man who was following him block his path, and said to him," give me all your money and i might let you live,". Theo look at the man who was blocking his path.
he remember the face of the man, as he was the guard who ask Theo for compensation when he was carrying the beast to sell at the gate of the town.
He can see greed in the eyes of the guard, with little bit of fear Theo replied," why are doing this, if chief Lan knew he might imprison you,"
after hearing Theo's respond the guard laugh and said," chief Lan, hahaha. that old man, what he gonna do when he won't even know about this."
"do you think you can get out alive to tell him," the guard smirk and ask Theo.
"my name is Tang, Tang Aodi. remember my name cause you will die by my sword today, i thought of letting you live, but when you mention chief Lan, i decide it best to kill you," after saying that he took his sword out. and swing it toward Theo.
Theo hastily took his sword out to defend against Tang. as from yesterday mistake against the Beast, Theo learn that he must carry his sword always, as it might come handy in difficult situation. just like today.
Both start fighting, there was silence, only you can hear the sound of sword swinging against. during the fight Tang can feel he was losing, but he also notice that Theo was hesitating to hit him with sword, so he took the opportunity of this and push Theo to the ground.
"i admit you are strong, but what to do you are still a child, today you will die because of your own mistake." after saying that Tang walk near Theo and was about to swung his sword, when he felt pain in his chest. he look at his chest and saw the sword piercing his chest right at his heart. He smile as well little bit sad and reluctance to give his life, as he was just 27. He got big dreams, but it all lose because of greed.
He smile and said to Theo," hmm, i lost". He felt straight back to the ground.
Theo was shivering, it was his first time killing a human being, he was scare, he was lost and confuse what to do, so he got up and ran fast toward his home in fear that someone will see him.
*pov of Tang*
*tch, the chief let that boy go away free, what a jerk", in one of the corner outside of city gate, a man was complaining to himself. who it might it was Tang.
All afternoon Tang was complaining, about how unfair the chief was to himself, when by the evening he saw the same boy who was carrying the beast walking out of the gate and going to the forest. he was happy, as he might get rich, thinking who will care about an orphan, not knowing it will his last day of life.
*end of pov*
Theo ran fast toward his house, when he reach it, he Threw his thing in the house and ran toward the stream, he start wiping the blood out.
"screach"
"screach"
The forest was in total silence only you can hear the sound of stream and someone scratching so hard, it was obviously Theo.
Theo was disgusted at himself of what happen Today, he want to wipe out everything, so he started scratching at his body, in his body there was mark of his finger nail, from scratching as well as blood was flowing out of there.
Theo was so scare that, he thought someone might notice that he kill someone, so he start scratching his body to remove that dirt, how much he scratch. That dirt was coming, the dirt of the person he kill, he was filling disgust at himself,
After what seems eternity of scratching, Theo calm down, he start thinking , he knew everything was not over so he start calming down.
He went to his house, after this event and lay down on the floor, he was tired mentally, he was just 12 year old boy but he became murderer. so he lay down and start thinking about the future plan, as he was thinking his greed for power grew, Today he learn that greed can let people do crime, he learn that if he was strong, today event won't happen, his feeling was stirred deep within his heart, he was conflicted about such feeling, little by little his mind start calming his heart down.
As his feeling settle down little by little, his emotion for disgust vanish from his heart, and soon he felt asleep, and when into the world of dreams.
In the morning, between the outer and inner layer, there is shed in that shed a boy was sleeping.it was 9am in the morning when the sun hit his face and woke him up, he lazily stretch his body and got up, to prefer for his daily routine, Theo did all his daily routine like practicing his sword swing and one slash techniques, eating his breakfast and all lie nothing happen yesterday.While resting after doing his daily routine, something click in his, he remember that he killed someone yesterday, so he started dashing toward the place where the person was killed. he ran so fast as if his life was about to end.when he reached that area where that person was killed, Theo saw that the body was still there, he was relief that no one has notice the body till now, but was little conflicted why didn't the beast notice it. but still he need to hide the body to not get caught, so he near the body. He touched the body it was cold and the blood was dried. he thought of ca

While, Theo was meditating. The Captain of the hunter team, rushed out of the mansion, " where is the location of the boy," he ask in hurried. The hunter who interrupted the conversation at the mansion replied," between the outer and inner layer of the forest,'" he was huffing, he was out of breath, as he was just running all day, first from forest to town and now from town to mansion.

A 12 years old boy in a ragged clothes came out of camp, looking little bit of out of mood. As he was told that he do not have any talent for cultivation. Talent of person is determined by what type of physiques and spiritual root he has. physiques determined how good your body can handle qi, for example if a person has good physiques he will not have any too much problem while breaking through realms. And good spiritual roots determined the how fast your body can collect and refined qi and what type of qi. The boy just stare blankly at the sky as if he lost all hope, but he quickly regain himself up from that state. As he walk along way, he saw many people around his age, some feeling joy and some with sadness. The boy muttered under his breath only he can hear:" what does that thing matter, as if that can change anything". But deep down in his heart he knew that thing matters for most people, people can get status, they can live carefr
As the owner took Theo to one of table to eat, the person twitched and said;" I lost my appetite to eat". as he slammed the money in the table walked out shouting;" hey owner the money is on the table". Theo look at the man walking out the restaurant and at the owner, the owner look at Theo and said;" don't mind him". During all this incident Theo never spoked or mind anything cause every time he came here to eat something like that happened. "Owner Shi, can i get a bowl of ramen please", after saying that Theo walk to the table and sit down. The owner of shop whom Theo call owner Shi cause he usually called that, heard what Theo said as he walk out and said" okay". After some time the food came as Theo ate the food and ask some extra so he can eat during dinner time. As Theo took the take out and walk out of the restaurant and walking out the town, so he can get to house and get some rest because of what happened today he was exhausted no
After walking for one and half hours, Theo finally reached home. first he kept the book and went to the nearby stream to freshen up so that he could rest well, as who wants to rest all sweat in his body. Even though he didn't do any manual work, he walk from town to forest. After freshening himself up, Theo sat down to read the book. It was evening as the examination took all day. Theo open the book as he started reading the book happily as he thought it was fortune for him to get cultivation technique for free, "Day 1 : I started my training by swinging my sword 1000 times.....". "fuck you Old man", shouted Theo clutching his heart as if he is in pain," ahhh..., this fucking old book is not a cultivation technique its a fucking diary" A low level common cultivation techniques price is around 10-20 gold coin above common cultivation technique people can't buy it, and which is rather high price for Theo. He thought he got a cultivation technique
When Theo lay down in the floor and making plan for tomorrow, it was slightly dark outside. He got up and start making food from some left over meat, that he kept when hunting yesterday. Theo used to hunt small beast like Rabbit and rat and sell his pelt and meat to earn his living, Cause he can't always do odd jobs, especially during winter. Most of his earning from odd jobs comes during the spring and Autumn where there used to be lot of work. and it is beginning of the spring season when most of the sect used to recruit new disciple. As Theo wait for the left over meat to cook, he went to the place where the trap he set up was. as Theo check all the trap, he said to himself," no luck, ha.. i guess it is the start of the spring season, most of the animal didn't get out of their build, knowing how cold was the winter,". He sigh and feeling little bit dejected he went to his home. Theo's house look like shed, where there is

Afternoon, outskirt of town.Theo was walking toward the town, while carrying the black brown bear on his shoulder. He was nearing the town, when one of the guard stop him," hey stop, where do you think you are going, carrying such big, without any compensation," the guard smirked and said to Theo.Theo, who was never ask to compensate anything from the guards, while entering and going out of the town, was confused, so he put down the Bear and was ready to speak, when one the guard spoke," bring that boy here, as well the beast," it was the chief of the security guard.Theo went to the chief carrying the beast, " boy where did you get such big hunt," the chief guard said in shock, he never question the strength of Theo for carrying the beast, as most people learn body tempering to carry out their duty more efficiently, but was shock because to hunt such beast you need expert hunters."chief Lan, i saw this bear dead, near the stream, i guess he was kill b
Theo was walking back to his house, after cleaning himself up, in a deep thought, and confused look in his face. He was still confused as why did the Black Gu substance came out of his body, thinking that he didn't even complete, forget about complete, he wasn't in the late stage of body tempering, why. he was pondering very hard, his heart was confused, it was etching for the answer, but there was no one to answer. as he whispered in his own thought," did i do something wrong while cultivating it, or is it because of Golden body Transformation, as i can see that my skin are smooth and soft. hmm then it must be because of golden body transformation technique."But who would tell him that bone tempering is the last stage of body tempering, Every cultivator after tempering their bone, refined their qi. But it isn't Theo mistake for not knowing that, as he was ignorant 12 year boy, who just started his life as a cultivator. He will soon learn everything about it, with time.
