Ch 4. Glutton Part 1

Start from the beginning
                                        

GOD can only looked away.

That was why Cale was looking for the powers that people naturally developed or came from nature.

'That is the way to make sure I don't need to put in any effort.'

Those were the types of powers he was looking for. Something like sword art or magic would require him to put in effort to practice. He didn't want to do something like that.

Unlike other books, the ancient civilization in the novel, [The Birth of a Hero], was not that strong.

As civilization developed, the magic and summoning skills that were developed outshined the natural powers left behind by the ancient civilization. Superpowers were the same way. Most subtle superpowers would be blown away by a single hit from the, 'Aura,' that was used in present day.

It wasn't like the heroes just used these powers sparingly for no reason.

'And my goal is to collect these subtle superpowers to become decently strong.'

"And you collect 9 ancient powers" Bud said while shaking his head.
He still in awe by Cale luck to collect Ancient Powers.

While some peoples thinking if this was gods doing, seeing how Cale easily collect Ancient powers.

It was a satisfying goal. Especially because he also knew the ancient power that could strengthen these subtle super powers.

In order to take the first step in his plan, Cale started to look for the ancient power that was hidden in Western City. He knew the requirement to earn that power.

"Hmm? Is this when Young Master keep going to slum?" Hans said.

-----

The slums were on one side of a small hill and constituted of old houses. Cale was heading toward the top of that hill. As he got closer, the gazes and steps of the people following him started to lessen as well. Cale's sharp glare probably played a role in this as well.

'It's better here.'

After being freed from the stench, Cale stood at the top of the hill and turned around to look down at Western City. Of course, this hill was not as high as the count's estate. There was no way that they would allow the lord of the territory to live somewhere that was lower than that slums.

Cale came back to his senses as he headed toward a tree that was fenced off in all directions. The fence, that was made of planks the width of Cale's body, had an entrance that had rotted. It was easily broken once Cale pushed at the fence.

This large tree seemed to have lasted for hundreds of years. Trees in the slums were usually chopped into firewood or had its layers peeled off to make it useless, but this tree was not like that.

The reason was simple. The reason could be heard in Cale's ear. These two were the only two who had followed him until the end from the slums.

"You can't approach that t-tree!"

Cale ignored that warning. He heard another worried voice as well.

"You can't go there! It's a man-eating tree!"

"You ignored us nya"
"Bad dad nya"
On and Hong said while tapping Cale with their paws.

"Yes yes, i'm sorry" Cale said, rubbing their head.

A man-eating tree. Anyone who hung themselves on this tree became mummies overnight. Furthermore, any blood that lands on this tree instantly disappeared.
