In A worn down training area,an middle aged man with dark red hair,disheveled stuble like dark facial hair,large light brown eyes with a lot of scerela showing,sharp down turned dark eyebrows,a hooked nose,and somewhat pointy ears was laying on the ground.
He was dressed in beggar like ragged clothing and wore no shoes.
Next to him,was countless bottles of liquor,all empty...
He was sound asleep when the noise of footsteps awoke him.
Groggily opening his eyes,he rubbed them with his right hand before properly looking at the person who had just arrived.
"Huh,so it's you brat...Oh,is that Azid Wine!!?,hehe,give me that shit."
"Lesson First."
"Sure,but I don't really have anything else to teach you,when I took you in as my disciple,you were a sorry little brat sulking about your lost talent,I really would not have expected you to master all my teachings in just over a year...Due to your abnormal growth rate,the Things I had planned to teach you for the next 6 months have all already been perfectly learned by you..."
"... Suicide Succession Severing."
"...You...Did you really go and choose the succession of Asura?."
"Indeed."
"... Hahahahaha,If that's the case then I guess I have no choice anymore."
"But let me check just in case..."
The nameless slave who had accepted Veangeance as his disciple just over a year ago started reciting some chants in a language similar to the one the shaman had been speaking,after he stopped,a stunned expression appeared on his face.
Soon however,it was replaced by a serious and somber expression.
" Alright,now that you have chosen the succession of Asura,if you don't learn Suicide Succession Severing,you will die anyways,and in a miserable way that is...
For the next 6 months until it's time to follow your Fate,I will only focus on teaching you the technique, Your willpower is the only thing that will decide whether you can learn it or not.
And I must warn you, willpower isn't something you can just increase without limitations, although someone's willpower can increase based on outside factors,a large part of it is genetic,no matter how hard you train, unless you were born with the right Soul genus and Mind genes,you will fail to master the technique and therefore perish in the First path of Asura...but well,you most definitely already knew of this... Anyways,just don't get too hopeful..."
Veangeance And the nameless slave connected their souls together,After a while, foreign knowledge started invading Veangeance's mind,His soul Arma Immediately entered into action and attempted to get rid of the knowledge,But Veangeance's willpower fiercely fought against his own soul Arma to let the knowledge enter his mind,after 25 minutes,the two of them disconnected their souls.
'Insane... truly insane,how can a human possess that sort of willpower?...maybe,just maybe,he might truly succeed in becoming an Asura... Could I really be standing in the presence of the sixth Asura?.
There have only been five Asuras throughout all of known history,That was because the trial of the Succession of Asura was extremely difficult,one Would suffer soul attacks for a period of 10 years whitin the Realm of Hell,and they could not even use their soul Arma,a single soul attack was very hard to deal with if one does not have their Soul Arma activated,much less several at the same time and in sequence.
The Asura Succession was a unique one because of the requirement of the Apocalyptic Graveyard,the Altar of the Asura Succession , anyone who passed the trial would be able to become an Asura.
"... Kid,now that we're done with the training,how about you give me my Baby?"
Veangeance threw the bottle of liquor in direction of Nameless and then proceeded to leave the training area.
...
After he Left the training area, Veangeance found himself in a city with three different types of constructs.
Tall bronze colored towers,large silver colored cathedrals, and a massive golden palace.
These constructs were the residential areas of all the different immortal clans that were located in the country of Venise.
The bronze constructs were the residences of the 3rd rate Clans,the silver constructs were the residences of the 2nd rate Clans and the golden palace was the residence of the four 1st rate clans,The Kokuryu Clan,the Freiherr Clan,The Legenda Clan,the Al Ghoul Clan.
Veangeance himself lived in one of the silver Cathedrals,the fallen Clan he hailed from once used to be a 1st rate Clan but were now 2nd rate.
The training area he had just exited was inside of one of the bronze towers,yet it was only populated by one man,the nameless slave.
Although he may not look impressive to a bystander,the nameless slave was one of the strongest people in Venise.
He was someone known for his martial arts and weapons combat prowess,and also for having insane criterias for who to accept as a disciple.
One needed to essentially be willing to train all day long if they wanted to learn from him,which is why Veangeance is the only disciple he took in over the last three years.
Walking through the city, Veangeance eventually reached one of the Silver Cathedrals and proceeded to get inside,the protective charm placed in the cathedral had recognized him as one of the heirs of the fallen Clan.
The inside of the cathedral wasn't like a normal house but like an entire island, there were many people going about their lives, occasionally,some of their gazes would linger on him for a while,maybe it was because they had heard of his decision to choose the Asura Succession,or maybe it was just because he used to be the most promising Prodigent of the Fallen Clan.
Veangeance is someone who was born with a 1st origin, origin is What gives immortals their extraordinary capabilities,there are four different ranks of origins.
1st origin,2nd Origin,3rd origin,4th origin.
Most immortals have a 4th origin,while talented ones have a 3rd origin, geniuses have a 2nd Origin and peerless geniuses have a 1st origin.
Someone with a 1st origin was extremely rare,even amongst the four 1st rate Clans,there was only two people with a first origin.
Seyrryu and Anneliese.
Veangeance had once been placed in the same tier as them,he was the third peerless genius of a generation.
However,when it was time for his awakening ceremony,when Immortal teenagers would awaken their powers,it was revealed that he only had a 4th origin.
This wasn't completely out of expectation but it was still a unlikely outcome.
It meant that Veangeance's origin had underwent a mutation during the awakening process.
This was a very rare thing and only happened with one person in thousands,and a situation were the mutation was so drastic was even rarer.
Veangeance went from having a 1st origin to a 4th origin,these two were miles apart.
Because of that, he lost his status as a prodigy and the treatment he received from others had changed, people who used to always try and strike up a conversation started to ignore him,the treatment he received from the clan Elders became considerably colder, Even the person he had a romantic interest in eventually started becoming more distant,he then found out it was because she started getting closer to a heir of the Legenda Clan, Vyncent.
The only people who didn't change how they treated him were his mother,Rose and his sister,Love.
Back then he had fallen into a pit of despair and remained sulking for about a month before, little by little,the way he viewed things started changing,he didn't know why exactly,but his emotions were getting more and more numb,He slowly became more pragmatic and analytical, until it reached a point he didn't even recognize who he was anymore.
Veangeance had even considered the possibility of possession,maybe something was in the process of possessing him and their personality was slowly affecting him,But after consulting with several spiritualists,he had found nothing wrong.
The Veangeance of now was very different from who he was before the awakening ceremony, enough that his mother and sister started becoming increasingly worried and seemed to be always attempting to make him more similar to how he was before,they likely thought that there was something wrong with his mind,that he entered a state of depression.
Veangeance himself didn't know whether or not that is true,he didn't understand why his personality underwent such a drastic shift.
Maybe his subconscience was numbing down his emotions as a way to protect him from suffering emotional trauma again,or maybe this was his nature all along and The situation he had found himself in previously just kept it from showing, regardless,all he could do was stay as true to himself as possible.
Which is why he decided to choose the Succession of Asura despite Knowing that his family would probably be devastated by his choice,he didn't want to make them suffer but he wouldn't change his path for the sake of anyone, even them.
The choice he made had an estimated 99.999999% chance of killing him,but if he didn't do that,he would be an ordinary Immortal for the rest of his life,not only would he be less versatile and capable than a Fated,but he would also never be able to ascend to the Progenitor Rank.

They only needed one to be at least a 3rd origin.

Veangeance walked through the Island like construct until he reached a shabby looking place made of wood, despite being shabby however,it was very clean both on the outside and inside.
Once he got inside, Veangeance encountered someone there standing still and waiting for him,it was his sister,Love.
