Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

One needed to also have steady hands and a focused, goal-oriented mind.

This was not at all easy to achieve. So much as a fly passing by one's ear could spoil the process. This was the reason why it took several tens of years to master.

There were even special pieces of training one needed to undergo to exercise the muscles in the hands, especially the fingers. Then there was the issue of calming the nerve endings in the hands. This one had its own class sessions entirely.

After which the calming and visualization of the mind would naturally have its own periods.

Yet, even with all these disciplines attached to learning how to carve runes, the percentage of people that learned it at the end was around 30%.

This was the reason why many like Ganja just concentrated solely on learning Runes that fit their Crafts. This was an easier method and it also took less time to achieve.

The second grade was called the Ancient Language of laws. This one was far worse than the first one. it is said that one needed special voice training to be able to achieve it.

Just like one beat the metal after removing it from the forge in other to temper it, that was how one needed to tamper one's voice to get it.

Many of the phonetical sounds could only be achieved at very high frequencies. Just like how certain notes in music could only be achieved by the Musicians that had digested music day in and day out, carving their minds and ears to the sensitivity of its perfection.

Only those that had gone through the vigorous process of the first stage called the "Ancient handling of laws," could attempt the "Ancient language of Laws."

Luckily, Dwarfs were blessed with slightly longer life spans than the average human. Some that were better in cultivation could live for hundreds of years.

Because the second grade took twice the amount of the first to learn. A minimum of around another hundred to two hundred years.

At least, that was what Ganja remembered. Of course, they were always exceptions and some others were lucky enough to have the gift bestowed on them by the mercy of the gods.

But any other unlucky fellow had to go through the rough path like any other person.

As one would expect, this stage also had a high rate of failure. Which was further reduced to 10%.

It is said that a person learning the second stage would believe he had never spoken actually words when learning this language, and at a certain stage, becoming mad was even a possibility.

It was advised that if one still had connections to the mortal world, learning this language was not for the person.

This was because One would be tampering with certain earthly foundations. If a person was not free from their earthly binds, when using this language, the earth might claim that person.

After the last war that happened some one thousand years ago, there was no one person that could now use the Ancient language of Laws.

There were all wiped out during that time.

As one would expect, It had become very difficult for anybody to achieve this state till then.

The last of all stages was the Ancient thought of Laws, but this stage was practically mythical.

Only the Ancient books had some record of it. And it was scanty at best.

This was the reason why Ganja was surprised. His eyes shone widely as small drops of tears fell from them.

Emma realizing what was going on also looked on in shock, but it was nothing compared to the zeal and fervor in Ganja's eyes. After all, he had taken those lessons years ago. No one knew how painful there were unless passed through them.

It took him over ten years to get the knowledge he had of Runes. Yet, he had not gotten the complete thing for just the first stage.

It would have taken him several tens of years more and the probability of failure was still there.

Yet, a boy of barely ten years of age was performing the Ancient language of laws before his eyes.

This was akin to seeing a child that had just been born a minute ago rapping.

Yes! this was a miracle. A miracle was showing itself before his eyes. How could he not shed tears?

He was so moved that he felt as if every tone that came from Chiron's mouth was making sweet love with the blood in his veins.

In all his life, and through all the happiness and problems he had ever faced, never had he been so glad to have had his eyes and ears witness what was happening right now.

Emma looked to her side. She could see her father slightly shaking in excitement.

If only it was possible, Ganja would not mind trekking a long distance all the way to his country that was on the other side of the continent just to bring his kin to enjoy this sight.

In his eyes, Chiron must be the abandoned son of a god or goddess, and he had been chosen as the instrument to bless this son with the weapon he would use to conquer the world.

Meanwhile, Chiron Continued his muttering of words. After the Runes appeared on the Rune Carver, the Carver rose as if it had a life of his own and carved albeit slowly, Runes on the Blade.

During this process, Chiron was forced to rest seven times and even coughed out blood many times. Just to be sure of his health and speed up his recovery, he had to add all his remaining points to his health.

His stats had now become:

//FATE CHANGE SYSTEM//

>>STS<<

Rank= Nil.

Health= 98

Strength=90

Agility=80

luck= 5

Spirit energy= ??? (unusable)

Major Fate changed= Nil

Minor Fate changed=Nil

Blood Pacts= 2/3

Blood Pact partner= Bama the Merchant.

Blood pact Slave= Ganja the Blacksmith.

.....

It was not an easy process and in this manner, the sixth day passed.
