Chapter 213: Monster's Way II

'How is it possible that it is being forcibly awakened when it's the Unknown already?' Desire thought as his eyes sharpened.

The fact that the Monster's Way is being forcibly awakened concerns Desire the most.

He didn't care about the cause since it was obvious that it was because of the Representative, and he didn't care about what this might bring to him, whether harm or benefit.

The only thing that Desire was concerned about in this situation is...how it was possible.

After all, if this can happen to his Monster's Way, then it is also possible to happen with the system, which is very alarming since these two were the foundation of the Unknown.

'Somehow...I feel that I shouldn't part with the Unknown...not even once, although that seems impossible to happen,' Desire thought as he then began to...will for the screens to disappear.

Of course, since he willed the screens to disappear, all of them began to vanish one by one just like how a bubble pops.

But there was a single screen that stayed in Desire's vision, and it was floating right in the middle of his vision.

'Give me more information about this, Unknown,' Desire thought as he willed for the Unknown to literally give more information about the message.

After all, the Unknown should know about things like these since it was connected with it and it seems that Desire was right into thinking that as another screen started to pop out in front of him.

And this is what the screen that popped out said...

[The Monster's Way, a type of system that is overshadowed by the Unknown, is being forcibly awakened by some unknown powers.]

[Advice!]

-This awakening of the Monster's Way is extremely beneficial to Desire and to the Unknown itself, please let the Monster's Way awaken(PROPERLY). 

-Should Desire not let the Monster's Way awaken(PROPERLY) and let the unknown powers forcibly awaken it, backlash and internal injuries are sure to happen.

[How to Awaken the Monster's Way(PROPERLY)]

-Eat a Monster Lord and become a Monster Lord.

-Form a Mana Heart and become a Monster.

[Special Note: Becoming a monster means that Desire will never be able to enter and walk the path of Human. However, with the privilege of being a Quarter God, Desire has the chance to walk both paths without any limitations and shackles.]

[Privilege of being a Quarter God]

-To walk both paths(PROPERLY), Desire needs to become a Demigod.

[A Note to the Special Note: Desire can still walk both paths of Human and Monster without becoming a Demigod. However, Desire's personality, persona, individuality would be gone if he does not become a Demigod and still walk both paths.]

And that was all that the screen had to say. It was pretty long and it was full of new things as well, which is why Desire took his time to read it.

However, as soon as he read the 'A note to the Special Note's last words, Jarina spoke to him as she tilted her head.

"Desire? Are you really okay? You've been staring into the air for quite a while now...and you aren't responding to me when I was calling you." Jarina said, but that was not all as she also stood up and stood right in front of Desire.

"A-ah...yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things," Desire said as he moved away from Jarina and closed his eyes.

He then willed for the screen that told him about the Monster's Way to...move a little bit to the side and opened his eyes.

And sure enough, the screen was now floating in the corner of his vision, allowing him to see what was in front of him.

"You don't look fine to me at all..." Jarina murmured as she looked at Desire.

Well, it was reasonable for Jarina to think that Desire was not fine. After all, when Desire was reading the messages that the Unknown had to say about the Monster's Way, Desire...didn't look that good.

His face unconsciously formed into a frown as he read every last bit of detail.

And to Jarina who didn't know anything about Desire's Unknown, he looks like he was struggling and was having some internal injuries that Jarina didn't know.

"Yeah. Anyways, what are-" Desire tried to speak to distract Jarina, but...

Tak! Tak! Tak! A powerful knock from across the room resounded out.

Of course, it was from the door, but that was not all that resounded out as both Jarina and Desire could hear Amelia's voice.

"Young miss! I'm here with medical supplies for the young master and some food as well," she said, but she was not done as she continued to speak, "May I enter?"

And this made Desire and Jarina both turn their heads towards the door as they didn't expect that someone would come in here.

Well, Jarina got her head stuck when she was talking with Desire, and Desire was occupied with the Monster's Way that suddenly appeared.

"What do you want to do? Do you still need some medical supplies or anything at all?" Jarina said as she turned her head to look at Desire.

Since Desire was the one who got injured, it was only natural that she would ask for his opinion.

"I'm fine, I already told you that. More importantly, have you gotten treatment as well? I faintly remember that you and Amelia ducked it out or something like that. You should be the one getting those medical supplies," Desire said as he...began to walk towards the door as he grabbed Jarina and walked with her in tow.

"Well, I'm pretty sure that you are alright, but let's have you get looked at by Amelia or some other healer," Desire said without looking back to Jarina.

"Hmm! I'm fine, but if you say so, then..." Jarina murmured as she just followed right after Desire.

And while they were walking, Desire was already calculating things about the Monster's Way.

He was thinking about what he would do in case the Monster's Way is not awakened properly, and about...how he would become a monster.

'I need to become a monster, huh...sounds cool and I actually want that, but is that...possible? A human cannot be turned into a monster...' Desire thought, and he just let his thoughts wander.

After all, there was no need to think about an answer now as things were still in the fog for Desire.

For now, what he needed to do was...to gather information and to find out how much time he has left before the Monster's Way gets awakened by the unknown powers.

'I need to find a Dungeon for a Monster Lord, too...' Desire thought...

****

"Young master! Are you feeling alright now?" Amelia said as soon as she saw the door open right in front of her.

Of course, Desire's body came right in the center of her field of vision, and she could also see Jarina walking behind him.

"Yeah," Desire said as he turned his head left and right, "Where's the food hall? Or whatever you call it. Lead us there, and we would eat there. Also, call for a healer and make it fast," Desire said with a heavy voice.

And when Amelia heard those words, she answered as she bowed her head, "Yes, young master. The dining hall is located this way, please follow me," Amelia then raised her head as she began to walk down the hallway.

Coincidentally, Amelia turned right as that was the direction of the dining hall.

Anyways, Amelia then continued to speak when she felt and heard Desire and Jarina walk.

"Ryu and the other Black Hand members have already called for a healer to look at the young master's possible injuries and also at the young miss. The healer should be arriving soon enough," she said.

Of course, what she said was the truth. As soon as Ryu and the others placed Desire in that room where he was staying, they sent some men to find the best healer that they could find in the city.

It would be easy to find a healer since most merchant teams and the Lion Clan had their own healers.

It would be weird if they didn't have one since they were venturing out in a dangerous place called the Dungeon.

"Is that so...anyways, you said that you brought medical supplies and some food. I can't see you holding them," Desire said as he looked down on Amelia's hands.

Amelia was...holding absolutely nothing, and Desire was sure of it.

And that was weird since Desire was also sure that he heard Amelia say that she brought some stuff.

However, it seems that Desire didn't have to worry about something like that as Amelia spoke to answer him.

"I am carrying them by hiding them in some other place. It is a trade secret of mine, but if the young master wishes to learn, then..." Amelia trailed off her last words for Desire to continue.

"Ah, you don't have to tell me. I'm not that interested in it," Desire said.

"As you wish, young master." Amelia said, "Ah, it seems that we have reached the dining hall," she continued.
