Unliving-Living

[ Bloodline Assimilation...

Time left: 15 Minutes. ]

Oke City.

The Slums.

Saquin laid down on a tattered bed as he scrolled through his Comm.

He had moved over to a motel in slums both in preparation of his assimilation and the fact that most of the city now knew his face and considering the amount of people he had pissed off, his laying low was self explanatory.

Simons had wandered off after he had sent him out with a bit of credits.

The dude had almost questioned his ass off about things like Senar Manipulation, battle tactics, ability usage and so on. It seemed he was eager to get stronger but Saquin did not really know how to go about that, after all, he was born strong. He was also super intelligent since birth, in a sense, he never really worked for much.

This was why he did not have much problem with people calling him, His Eminence or Young Master. He can not see much difference between himself and those kids born into wealth and power.

Apparently, ignoring his former slave status, he was better than most.

He was literally stronger than most his age or relative to it, richer too. Plus, believe it or not, he had a bigger background, with the World Will and Miss Margaret acting as his guardian.

He was blessed.

Unlike Simons who had to claw his way to his present status.

But he had decided to help his new friend a bit.

He did find him a bit annoying though, he nagged a bit. He just could not relax and let go.

Go with the flow.

Que Sera Sera.

Earlier, he had even nagged him about how he was an esteemed individual and he should not be found in the slums. Even going as far as doubting if he could actually sleep on such a tattered bed. A stupid notion considering Saquin was an Empowered, he could sleep in fire if willed to.

That session of nagging was not as epic as when he had sent him a million credits to play with till his Assimilation was complete.

Simons had gone on a lecture about the value of money. Well, this was after he recovered from the heart attack he got from checking his account.

The lecture did allow Saquin to discover a necessary fact which was that there was a currency he was not aware of. Currencies rather.

Apparently there was an entire monetary system he lacked knowledge of.

It was the dominant monetary system in the human federation as a whole, which was also called the Credit system.

But, the Human Credit is different from the Universal Credits.

For the human credits, it is referred to as Dollar Credit or Pound by the general populace.

And even below it were the distinct currency of each planet.

For example, Rindraw Planet's Rin.

To put that down:

A hundred Rin makes a Dollar Credit, and a hundred Dollar Credit makes a Universal Lesser Credit.

---

100 Rin -> 1 DS.

100 DS -> 1 LC

--

This made Saquin realize just how truly wealthy he was.

It also explained why the Xpress-Star Delivery company was so cheap.

Saquin pushed all the stray thoughts away as he focused on his Comm.

He was presently searching for information about his Captain and his death.

He had postponed enough.

Saquin spent a couple of minutes reading through the various articles that he found.

To sum it all up, the Captain's ship had come under attack by a young but powerful, talented Empowered who stumbled upon the ship during his exploration of the galaxy. The young man was a popular figure in the younger generation, especially in the Young Heroes forum, but Saquin was not really interested in people he would not meet soon, so he ignored his information.

The young hero had fought the Captain to a stalemate, till the captain started bringing out his trump cards. The fight started tilting towards the Captain's side till it seemed victory was within his gasps, but it was snatched as the authorities arrived way earlier than scheduled.

The Captain managed to escape though.

He was actually chased for multiple days and nights through that sector of the galaxy before he was caught up to, mostly due to a rival of his who managed to intercept him and slow him down. In the resulting battle, he managed to kill his fair share of Empowered and it even seemed he would manage to escape but a sneak attack from the young hero put an end to him.

With this merit, the young hero's fame skyrocketed and he was even tagged as a true hero. With people now permanently tagging him as Hero.

The news spent a couple of days at the number one trending topic till the death of Prince Greader was announced by the Empire just a couple hours ago.

It was a sad news to the Empire and especially to its young female population as they all experience the pain of heartbreak.

The Empire planned to honor his death with a grand funeral at the beginning of the following month which was September.

They had also mentioned that his cause of death was as a result of his Trial, his Divine Trial. At the death of the prince, the general populace finally learnt of the fact that the golden prince was actually of the divine level.

This elevated the pain in many hearts, but nothing more could be done.

"Sad." Saquin switched off his Comm and threw it to the side of the bed.

"Hey World Will." He called out gently.

[ So, you finally remembered me, huh. ]

"I didn't forget you though, we spoke just a couple hours ago."

[ A couple hours is a long time. ]

"It definitely is not."

[ It definitely is. If you put your mind to it, do you know the amount of people you can kill in those hours? ]

"Okay, that is a weird comparison, you could have just used food. But I do admit that you are right."

[ Of course I am. I am the World Will. ]

"Yep, that is you."

At that moment, Saquin felt a shiver run down his spine as he felt vaguely stronger than before.

[ Bloodline Assimilation completed. ]

The system screen popped up in front of him.
