Chapter 97: Misery And Grottos!
An affinity was extremely important; it was a condition that one just couldn't understand evade if they wanted to understand a law, and it had to be of the EX-Rank, nothing less.
Draco couldn't just buy it from the system, as it didn't have such a shop yet, but… He had found a way with another one of his cheats.
A Unique Skill that almost completely describes him.
Indeed, it was [Devouring].
At first, when Draco first killed his victim, he didn't want to devour him since he was just a useless mortal with autism as the most normal trait, and overall useless to devour.
However, upon digging a little with his system analysis, he came to know that residents of this world are considered a part of origin. Thus, devoting them was equal to devoting origin itself.
Nonetheless, it wasn't worth it to Devour beings as crazy as them.
So he formed a plan to start a hunt for natural treasures and other beings that aren't as crazy or have massive downsides after sacrificing like humans.
For two years, living close to a city that was as empty as its residents' brains and with a wilderness as large as their sins didn't allow him to either move or find anything close to that.
So he used this period of time to think and think not only of plans to get out but even of his past, present, and future.
His strengths and weaknesses. His advantages over the common people, his downsides, of which he surprisingly came to the conclusion that he had none, making one wonder why, and lastly his goals.
He planned to stay a little longer; however, the death of his mother forced him to make a move.
If everything was against him, then he would just beat everything to submission.
If even the controller of this world was against him, then he would show him who's the father and who's the son.
Upon entering the city, what Draco first noticed was the cured smell. What in the world are these people even doing to have a smell more disgusting than the one in the wilderness?
Everywhere he went, he found rubble, random housing, and absolutely no order.
It was total chaos.
Shredded clothing and random underwear were thrown all over the streets, clothes were put to dry on top of houses, cables, and doors. Children were nowhere to be seen either hiding or working in some factory since they were 2 and a half years old.
That's when it came to just human causes; as for humans themselves?
Complete Unlawfulness! The total opposite of a civilized society.
Draco was surprised that such a bunch of autistic fellas even managed to form a city as big as this, even though it would be more fitting to call it a super trash dump.
Women could be seen in their birthday suits, and trust me, they'd better be hidden by completely black veils from top to bottom than show around their naked bodies that either look like shredded fat or some kind of abomination.
The most beautiful of them was obese, bald, and couldn't walk.
Men weren't fit in any way, shape, or form.
they were dirty, skinny or fat, ugly or uglier, and lastly, they were either dunk, about to smash their heads into some wall because of the good herbs, robbing someone, beating someone up, about to drink or get high, or doing what shouldn't be done in public with what shouldn't exist, or in other words the Abominations, as those that couldn't walk were most of the times princesses.
They were the girls spoken of in fairy tales.
"Hello there, sweety! Would you like to eat this big sister's honeybuns?" A two-bull-large Abomination appeared before Draco. He didn't even last a single minute inside the city before a predator appeared.
Before the Abomination could even open her two planet-sized eyes after putting on the ugliest smile in existence, Draco formed a blade from pure mana and cut her head off.
Not even wasting a single other second, Draco, who was now known as the 'baby zombie', was evaded like the plague by the citizens of Autismania.
They saw dead bodies, naked bodies, four chins, 3 boobs, an unman (as they call them) but never a child, or one that could kill a 4-star Abomination with some glowing hands weed.
"I musht haf dra'k t' much, o' wi' lich drik mo' sho for'e." This was the common reaction."
"I muss be Hai!" was another way of saying it.
"Oh, my days!" was the sober way of saying it.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, PEOPLE!" was the normal reaction that only one was able to make because everybody else was either in the skies or too shocked to think and speak.
None of this mattered to Draco.
He entered the city looking for anything that resembled a library but he found himself in front of a large estate that was the only Orderly thing in this city and not just some random bullcrap building put together with screws from your 5 thousand pound aunt next door, and galvanized scrap steel stolen from a passing carriage.
Draco entered the estate. The guards tried everything in their power to stop him but they only had one result, and that was being cut in half.
By the time Draco reached the door to the estate, the not-so-noble was pissing himself with a gun pointing at Draco as well as the princess in a wheelchair, looking at the Hero that came to save her and imagining her happy ever after with him.
30 seconds later, her imagination was 15 kilometers away from her wheelchair.
Draco waved his hands to get off the blood and went on to search for the library.
and that's how he spent 1 year learning everything he could inside the library.
The third year arrived, and a beast tiger attacked the city.
Draco took it as a sign to leave, and he went on to search for all kinds of natural treasures in what people in this world called Grottos in his 10-year-old-looking body.
Grottos were simply wide holes that went deep down, and that's the only place monsters resided while Strong Beasts lived above.
But the journey to the closest Grotto wasn't safe as many kinds of dumb thieves, pirates, beasts, and small crews tried to attack, recruit, or do something worse to Draco, who only ever finished it with bloody hands.
Draco was by now an S-Rank, and the strongest humans in this world were EX-Ranks. But, there were some other factors in this origin that were way worse.
He was already a top-ranking powerhouse, and even EX-Ranks would have difficulty killing him as he wasn't an actual S-Rank but an anomalous EX-Rank limited to just S-Rank of his power.
Alexander did the best he could to limit Draco from using his full power in order to stall him from the worst things to come.
And Draco was walking right to them right now.
Grottos, non-orderly dungeons, and literal hells below us are there for the sole purpose of one day breaking out and acting as a doomsday in Alexander's Origin of Life.
Draco reaching there was just a matter of time before Draco reached the Grotto.
He didn't care about entering any city so aside from looking for food and water, which he didn't need as much while he was a rapidly evolving being and then becoming a Mana Kythnos, which had no need for food.
But now, as a human, he needed to eat regularly in order to survive and he could do nothing about it.
it wasn't that hard to find food and he had no problems eating Abominations or hard bread, even piece of those trying to steal him or dirty water.
In any case, he lived a full 3 years and now that he was right in front of a Grotto, He stopped to contemplate a little bit.
However…
*Rmble* *Rumble* *ROOOOOOOOOAR*
He fell as the ground crumbled and sucked him in.

Dear Readers! We have reached our first Milestone. 100 Chapters!
This is the second time I have reached 100 Chapters in a novel and let's just say this one is going so well right now, unlike my last one, where I had to drop it because it was too unstructured and chaotic.
This novel of mine is like an introduction to the StellVerse and there will be many novels after it Including Original Emperor, A novel I planned well for from its start to finish and it was just within a period I wasn't quite ready for it.
All I have to say is thank you for being here from the start to the middle or you're new, I really appreciate you reading my novel or any that will come after it and I hope you like them very much as I'm always planning to have my MCs defy the common norm and bring out something absolutely not clichée and actually educating so to understand a little bit of life the same way I've had my eyes opened to the real world by my novels.
Milestone Info: This novel is about the disasters of evil and why you should avoid it.
Next Milestone 250 Chapters! Look forward to it.
