I have been staring at an open fire and bathing in the sun for three days without food and water and also sleep.
I am obviously exhausted and hungry, my skin was also tanned now giving me a foreign look but my gold hair and brown eyes were still the same.
I went to a shop I usually got to in the morning ever since I got my first pay and bought some bread and tea, the woman who was used to seeing me for the last three months gasped a she saw my condition.
"Sal, you have not been coming here for three days and look at your state, your skin is burned, your hands have blood stains and your eyes look dry and dull, just where were you, you are just a growing boy so please take care of yourself?!!." The woman was a young high elf, usually they would be arrogant due to them being a high race but this particular one was chased away from the Yggdrasil continent and has experienced hardship.
She now enjoys baking had has a variety of things to buy from...but my pay is low so I can't buy the expensive ones. "Miss Nilia, it was something I had to do, I hope you understand."
She wanted to day something to me but just sighed. "Don't call me Miss, I am only thre hundred years old and not really that old, you're frustrating you know, for someone who has no Mana veins in his body i wonder where you got the energy to endanger yourself, anyways take back your money, today you won't have to pay."
I smiled as I collected the money and thanked her for her kindness, I went to a nearby table and sat there and started eating.
After I was done I thanked her ince more and returned home, I was satisfied with my gains and surprised i did not go insane in those three days...but I wonder, can I get my hands on more taboo techniques?.
No that would be too easy, I should be grateful that disciple gave me this one and speaking of the scroll, I should probably burn it.
I went to my romm and went towards where I kept thr scroll. "...strange."
It wasn't there, no what was there was a small egg the size of a cup, the scroll was completely gone and was replaced by a blood red egg.
So this could mean two things, first something stole my scroll and left its egg here or...the scroll transformed into this egg which I find baffling and higky impossible...but at the same time it doesn't seem that impossible.
How intriguing, I gently took the egg and placed it onto my palm.

The egg cracked completely, resembling a broken mirror on the verge of collapse, before I could react the egg shattered and a crimson worm with sharp teeth looked at me.
"..."
What the hell is this, the worm wriggled on my as I observed it, the worm had three sections, despite its egg size, it was actually small, the size of a straw.
It had no eyes but it's cute gesture of titling it's head made me reconsider not throwing it way...that was unti...
The worm burrowed into my palm and entered my blood making it's way to my heart and now I felt it.
It was swimming in my blood like I was a living ocean of blood, in that whole moment I felt nothing no pain, nothing harmful.
I could now somehow sense how the worm acts and thinks, it was currently curious,happy and hungry. So it drank my blood occasionally which made me feel less energetic.
I stared blankly at where it burrowed. "So, I now have a blood worm or parasite living inside me...that's not normal at all.
I sat on the bed and tried communicating with the worm.
"Hey, can you not drink my blood, I don't have much energy to use, so can you hold off until I get more blood." Never thought o would end up with such a thing, I think the blood burning curse had a taboo curse on it, a high level taboo technique and also a taboo curse.
The worm stopped almost immediately, though there was a small reluctance it understood that if it needed blood, it's host must be alive.
I sighed and laid in my bed, I was exhausted and needed a bath, three days under the sun and three nights near an open fire made me smell like smoke and charr, but I would do that after I sleep.
So I close my eyes....
...
(???)
"Cough?!! Ugh-y..you...won't...get away."
I stared at the smiling faces of he High ????, my magic was not enough. NO?!!!!
I was just too weak, my darkness magic could not blind them, my taboo skills could not graze them and my martial skill are like throwing stones in front of them.
I hated it.
I hate being weak.
So me and all of you. "D-I-E."
Taboo Technique:Anti-Moon
....
I woke up and it was late at night, I went to the bathroom to freshen up and wash myself, I still felt exhausted and I could feel the blood worm hibernating due to its own lack of energy.
I should probably give it a name soon.
I stretched when I went out of the bathroom and went towards my bed to sleep once more, that was when I noticed it, a green light was shining through my curtains.
Annoyed I opened it open to only witness a terrifying seen.
Just above the sky very far way, a mass of energy formed and a a second moon appeared beside the other one and it slowly moved towards the moon and then eclipsed it.
Within mere moments everything was a dark shade of green and ghastly wail shattered all glass in the town and the Mana powered lanterns extinguished the moment the light touched it.
I felt something strange my heart was beating fast, my eyes dilating, my mind numbing.
This sight...I wish to look up close and see what would cause such big of a commotion. Was it a God?. Was it someone using a stigmata or was it another war between Mana and Aether.
But before I could ponder more, the eclipse exploded in a green light momentarily painting everything and blinding me for a few seconds.
When it was over. I opened my eyes and my heart trembled as I saw the moon.
From the left side of it small pieces of the moon lead to a destroyed section of it but the other side was unscathed.
Suddenly, I smiled and soon my smile turned to a laugh. "Hahahhahahaha, an interesting world indeed, what type of madman would try to destroy the moon."
Either way this just means I haven't even started to become stronger with this talentless and manaless body.
