Limitless Human

Everyone that took a look at the notification papers on the walls were momentarily stunned, the horse beasts were the quicker ones as they controlled themselves to not run but increasing their pace heading into the floating castle.

Hugh didn't mind or paid any attention the horse beasts actions as the floating castle could be considered even more dangerous than himself as Cecily had absolute control and view of it's entirety including sealing any passages or using Endi vines to catch 'intruders'.

Cecily: Master.

At the same time, Cecily appeared in Ethan room.

Ethan: Yes?

Cecily: This methods aren't good if we aren't well organize or without a good way too keep it updated.

Ethan: That is something that we will have to deal in the future. We currently don't possess any means to do it besides by using Vera and the others to keep the numbers updated.

Cecily: Their workload will increase.

Ethan: Hmmm... tell each of them to search for a pair of underlings to help them. They must be from the recent new ones that joined our group. At the same time do anything you can to relieve them of some pressure.

Cecily: Will do master.

Ethan: Huhuhuhu... let's wait and see when they found the rewards of gaining points and increasing their status. At that time all of them would even trample over their own family to acquire them.

Cecily: But master.... you still haven't stipulated the rewards for Vera and the rest to give.

Ethan: You don't have to worry about that. I am certain that the number of members of our group will decrease and the ones that will remain won't be working for the points.

Cecily: I can't say that I blame them.

Ethan: They will come in do time. The planet current situation is one of inclined mountain. You either grabbed to plant to save yourself or you get throw off and die.

Cecily: Huh?

Ethan: It's basically a search of power. Anyone that doesn't possess powers, don't have rights to live. The strong prevail over the weak, as the weak serve the strong. The Ant Queen is a great example. Although she signed one of our contracts with me, she would in do time realize that accompany me would be more beneficial as even though her freedom would be restricted, the benefits and rise in power would be enormous.

Cecily: Like our case.

Ethan: Not exactly. Our case is strengthening each other. You should know that without me your earlier growth would increase but after a while it would stagnate.

Cecily: Yes... master should already have realised of this but being a spirit I don't have a need for sleep. Together with the fact that our mansion/territory is fortified since the evolution, I had some time to think. It's a struggle, master.

Ethan: Just go with the flow. There is a phrase back in my planet that I find perfect. 'Ignorance is a bless.'. Children are the perfect example of that. They can be considered the happiest and kindest creatures of all, but as time passes by their 'innocence' slowly fades away.

Cecily had a small tear in her eye as she listened to Ethan, at the same time she floated to Ethan back as she leaned on it feeling the warmth coming from it.

Cecily: Thank you master.

Ethan: No problem. I am here to help you.

Cecily: You are really a simple man, master. You will do anything to help and support your friends and loved ones, while being merciless and ruthless to your enemies.

Ethan: It's just the way I was raised.

Cecily: I would like to get to know your parents someday.

Ethan: I don't.

Cecily: Huh?

Ethan: Since my birth that they are already in peace.

Cecily didn't understood Ethan words, but feeling Ethan back trembling a bit she couldn't help and try to hug him, as she had a more corporeal form it was one of the things she was able to perform as long she concentrated hard enough.

(Author Note – I know that Ethan 'mother' appears right on the first chapter, but Ethan biological parents have died before he could even remember.)

During through the whole day, some people tried to escape through the walls, but that ideia was soon discarded when the black 'snakes' moving through the walls rushed at them piercing through them.

The ones that wanted to leave soon went to Vera and the other girls telling them their intention to leave.

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

The next day, everyone that was still in the mansion had been registered. Considering the death and leave of some members of yesterday. Their group had lost around 25 members in total. All of them were humans as the horse beasts and old members from their group didn't had any complain from Ethan methods compared with the new group of humans.

Currently Ethan, Hugh and Mike were sitting in a personal living room that existed in the highest floors.

Hugh: What do you want Ethan?

Ethan: I am sorry.

Hugh: Huh? What did you do this time?

Ethan: It's from back when I manipulated you and Mike events to awaken your bloodline.

Hugh: ….....

Mike: …....

Ethan: …...

Hugh: ….. I already forgive you for that. Besides I told your previously that you owe me for that.

Ethan: Sigh..... what about you, Mike?

Mike: …...

Ethan: …....

Mike: I can't forgive you for now. You should know of that.
