A Father's Duty

[You have obtained Bladeform Legacy]

[You have obtained Gandora-X Body refinement Manual]

[You have obtained Breath of Thunder]

[You have obtained Cooking Magic]

[Due to completing the tutorial phase in under a month, additional rewards are given.]

[You have obtained Gourmet Cells]

[You have obtained Red and White Appetite Demon]

[You have obtained memory fragment #1]

Looking at the rewards left me stumped. I redeemed Bladeform Legacy as a broken mask appeared in my hand.

Yurnero's mask has been cleaved in two, awakening the ancient souls that once laid dormant inside it. These spirits have become one with the wearer, giving him both the wisdom and fury of his ancestors. 

I asked the system about the detailed explanation about the mask.

[Host would become the master of the ancient souls and receive their blessings and all of their knowledge. Host would also gain Yurnero's skill set, only when wearing the mask.]

Nodding in satisfaction, I retrieved the Refinement Manual. I know Gandora-X. It is one of the iconic dragon monster that appeared in that Yu-gi-oh movie. What I didn't understand was the refinement manual. Sensing my dilemma, the system spoke up.

[Gandora-X Refinement Manual would turn your body even harder than a dragon of this world. As the pinnacle of destruction, not only does it provide you a strong defense, it could also provide you huge outbursts of power to demolish your opponent. When host reaches the pinnacle of the manual, host could assume the form of Gandora-X and cause despair towards your enemies.]

Seeing the description, although it would take a lot of time, the end result is worth it. Maybe I could thrash Acnologia like a baby once I mastered this thing.

I retrieved the next thing on the list which is breath of the thunder which is a branch of breath of the sun that focuses on channeling their energy into their legs achieving a speed that is like the clap of lightning or the sound of thunder.

I retrieved the Cooking Magic and was astounded of versatility of the magic itself. I could literally use everything related to cooking. Fork and Knife like Toriko, Pressure Cooker like Granny Setsuno, and etc.

After reeling in from the surprise, I was a little confused about the additional rewards.

"What is the estimated time that I was supposed to complete the tutorial phase?" I asked the system.

[With the system's calculation, it should've taken you 4-6 months to finish the tutorial phase due to financial problems.] the system said.

"Aren't you mad that I exploited things in your quests?" I asked a stupid question but I need to confirm it.

[No. Host's mind wandered outside of the box and was not in the system's calculation. I am only programmed to support you to become a tavern master. That's all there is to it.] The system said as I nodded.

I looked at the items floating in front of me as I reviewed them one by one.

Gourmet cells are in a form of a vial while the appetite demons are in a form of a bubble while the memory fragment is in the form of a crystal.

He remembered that there are two ways in acquiring gourmet cells, either you inject it to yourself and risk turning into an abomination or ingest it slowly which is probably safe but the success chance is lower. He was worried that if he ingested the vial's contents, he would turn into an abomination.

[No need to worry about the contents of the vial host, it contains pure gourmet cells. The system only offers the best quality items for its host. It is the same with the Appetite Demons.]

The system said as it eased my worries. I ingested the vial contents as I didn't feel anything for a few seconds before rush of energy assaulted my body. My muscle mass didn't change into a bulky one but they turned firmer.

What I didn't know is that, if someone was punched by me right now, they would feel like they've been hit by a whale. It didn't change my muscle mass, instead it changed the density of it.

[Host's Gourmet Cell also doesn't have the disadvantage of needing kilocalories of food to sustain your cells.]

I was surprised by it, because Toriko eats millions of kilocalories of food as a SNACK, you hear me? As a SNACK. I was relieved that I didn't need to eat as much when I ingested the gourmet cells.

I turned my sights to the Appetite Demons in the form of a bubble. What should I do with this?

[Host should consume it]

I did as the system told and consumed the bubble. It slid down my throat as it merged with the new gourmet cells in my body. All of the old cells are eaten by the gourmet cells as they reproduced making new gourmet cells as the process keeps on repeating and the appetite demon merging with them, sped up the process by a lot.

I didn't know what kind of appetite demon will release as it is said that it is different for every person. I can only wait for it to merge in completely to see what form it would take up.

Inside my soulscape, two figures reformed themselves as they looked at the dark space surrounding them with curiosity. The red one is relatively tall, standing 6'2 and weighs 300 pounds. He has extremely thick neck and long legs. He also has red wavy hair, thick black eyebrows, and red eyes. His body is trained to utmost limit as his muscles are compact as hell.

The other one, the white one, a very large muscular man with exceptionally large broad shoulders noted by many not to be considered human. He has dark colored hair that he ties in a simple ponytail.

That's right his red appetite demon is the strongest creature in his world. The ogre, Yujiro Hanma and the other appetite demon is the one who is so strong that he was the only man before Yujiro to take on the full military might of the US with only his b.a.r.e hands and win to the point where Major General James, the man in charge of the operation against him requested for the use of a nuclear bomb just to kill one man when they were unable to control his rampage on a small island near Okinawa, when he annihilated a platoon of soldiers unscathed even after the island he was on, received heavy naval and aerial bombardment.

He is the Father of Yujiro, and Grandfather of both Baki and Jack Hanma, Yuichiro Hanma. And as men of Hanma bloodline, they possess the "demon" on their back muscles.

His personality? Straight up opposite of Yujiro. He even threw a match against a pro wrestler just to earn money legally. Compared to Yujiro who was given fortune as favor from his connections.

I shook my head as I know that I can't tap into any of them as I needed to evolve my cells by eating compatible ingredients with my cells and I don't know what ingredient is compatible with my cells. I don't even know the form they took.

After assimilating with the appetite demons, I finally looked at the memory fragment as I tapped into it.

My locked memories unlocked as I saw myself in front of the throne room. In front of me, his Father who's name turned out to be Regis Lucis Caelum, and his mother named Hera Altair Margot(OC I created) and the memory crystal turned into dust as I finally know my family name.

I am stumped for a whole 5 mins as I digested everything I just got. To think that I am the heir of the Lucis Kingdom... it shocked the hell out of me. The only problem is, the location of the Kingdom is still locked and I needs those memory crystals before knowing where the kingdom is. While I am contemplating, I sensed a being flying at high speed and landed on the backyard where the chipmunks are.

I immediately took my sword hanging in the wall and rushed towards the backyard. Stood in front of me, is thickly braided, bow-adorned, scarlet haired woman. Her two front braids have two golden ornaments near the upper sections. She also wears two U-shaped earrings, and wears red lipstick.

Seeing her, made my heart skip for a second as we stared into each others eye for 30 seconds before she walked towards me slowly with trembling body and tears threathening to fall and stood in front of me before kissing me passionately, not caring for the audience around her. Erza seeing the person who landed on their playground was shook that she can't move as she started trembling and tears started streaming in her eyes as she shouted.

"Mother!"

--------------------------------------

Well, I can't find a way to end this chapter properly so I decided to drop napalm bomb and end it with another cliff.

The meeting between the two lovers.

I have decided to include Lucis Kingdom as well. ALSO TAKE NOTE, AS MC GETS OLDER, HE WILL SLOWLY RESEMBLE THE OLDER NOCTIS as I deemed the teenager Noctis too edgy and I still prefer Riku Dola's appearance in his youth. Just imagine Sora/Riku's all knowing evil smirk brings joy to me.

Also because Erza was conceived after Irene turned into a dragon, Erza contains a half-dragon bloodline from Irene and human from Noctis. And Yes, Erza is Noctis and Irene's daughter.

Also, even though I put FFXV in here, I will only make it simple since FFXV IS FULL OF FCKING DLC'S JUST TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN TRANSITIONS. NO ARDYN, NO EVIL SH*TS. JUST LUCIS KINGDOM, AND THE LEGACY OF THE KINGS. THAT'S ALL. As I know not many have played the game intensely and even watched the movies. I intend to make it so simple and would not branch off so as to not confuse others. A word of advice, Don't worry about FFXV for now. Its for the future. Just enjoy the present for now. We will slowly reach there in the future.

Also I would sometimes put a chapter title or maybe not to surprise y'all. Some titles might be misleading for the bomb drop at the end but who cares. Just like this one 😏😏😏
