Maybe with it, his split personality could be fixed. Maybe this rune was destined to be his all along. He had 15 personalities originally, seven negative and seven positive leaving only his rational one alone in the middle.
The negatives were bloodthirsty, the positives were kind and rationale was logical.
People acted on emotions and it was also the reason why mankind rose. Emotions, it was the boundary line of animals, monsters, and humans.
It was detected that people exuded special energy when they felt emotions. It would differ depending on the emotion. Some were violent while some were gentle. It was very unstable and dissipated in a short time.
He named this energy emotional value. Absorbing this kind of energy for the ordinary person was dangerous. Although it made his soul advance some traces of pollution were left. Fortunately, due to him having multiple split souls, the pollution was caught within the turbulence between them and was shredded and cleaned.
If more of this was absorbed even the chaotic environment of his soul would take some time to clean it.
Basically this environment in his soul made it perfect for him to absorb them.
After getting up he strolled the streets. The view and environment here were really different from the outer part.
The shops were big and even giant could enter them, unlike the outer part where only creatures fitting the door could fit. Giant creatures walking down the streets, there was no friction between them.
Demons with horns were here and almost all of them had facial features like a human, even though it was distorted. Undeads who had rotten bodies also walked down the streets.
Living animals slightly avoided the undeads and demons, this street looked just from a fantasy land as weird and strange creatures lived alongside.
He knew that curiosity could lead to death so he wasn't so curious. Advanced creatures were just abnormal, just like him who's right eye was gone only leaving only a gray hole.
He was also abnormally pale with a gray tone, his fingers were long and his nails were sharp. His left eye was black with three white circles in it that looked illusory.
His hair ash gray and his breath contained sickness and rot.
...
"What is this?" Cylius pointed at a blue crystal that was blurry in its core. The other creature, the red fox sitting in front of him revealed three of its fingers while eating a rabbit with his other hand.
The fox didn't care about him as it continued to eat its dinner. It was an existence stronger than himself. Seeing the status of the fox, he was also quite surprised.
Apparently the one sitting in front of him was a rare species of fox, tailed fox. Being one of the Monster Empresses in this universe, she was considered the leader of all foxes.
She had terrifying strength and was a domain existence. Her descendants were blessed with intelligence and contained the power to control all foxes in their blood.
Tailed foxes were exactly the descendants of such existences so even if a thousand Cyliuses stood in front of it, it wouldn't budge.
Well, fluctuations of his rune were concealed, otherwise, it wouldn't be so comfy.
But considering that it was sent to this place, its royal bloodline must've been polluted much. Still, it would be protected heavily by guards.
Three fingers meant three silvers, he didn't have the money but he had already marked it.
Later when he was rich he would buy it.
Shaking his head he said the fox to keep it. The fox didn't even look at him as it nodded and bit of a large piece of meat off the rabbit.
The various royal family's descendants learned the human language from a young age. Humans were intelligent and their teaching efficiency and various technologies were much better than the monster race's raw lesson of exploring their bloodline.
They would shapeshift into humans and go to schools and college. The human forms of them revealed their specific race's characteristics well, foxes charming, dogs straightforward and bold, wolves slender and majestic while lions and tigers showed large and brawny features.
This was how they evolved since.
He had been walking down for half an hour, choosing three items. With his perception now, he could perceive a big part of the inner city. So he was decisive in going not just strolling around.
The use of runes was forbidden in the city and anyone who had tried using it would be warned.
The total area occupied by the city was unknown, but something was suspicious. That was that the city seemed to be divided into two parts and a towering wall stood between them.
The gate was open with only two 'winged guards' of average strength guarding. Monster shuffled in the gate and it seemed to be very lively. The wall was like a concrete barrier restricting him from perceiving the situation inside.
He was curious about what was inside and considering that any monster could enter in easily, he decided to go check it out.
...
Standing right below the huge wall he felt the magnificence just looking at it. This wall was at least five hundred years old, the material it was made from was unknown but the inscriptions engraved on it was powerful.
"Watch your way"
A rude voice came out as he felt a force pushing him forward. There were no emotional fluctuations in his eyes as he looked at the source of the sound.
It was a giant humanoid creature walking down the streets. Its eyes showed arrogance that looked down at him.
Looking at the creature with his one eye, he sensed that there was an imprint on its body. It showed a powerful aura, obviously it was from a powerful existence.
The wall restricted his senses to a very small range so he couldn't sense the other coming to him at all.
Sensing the imprint he didn't want to offend him at all so he bowed.
"I'm sorry" he said while bowing. His muscles were relaxed and his heartbeat was normal.
"Hmph, be careful from now on"
The sound also full of arrogance came again but this time the arrogance was lowered down a bit.
It was because of his race that it was being cautious, if not it may even want him to call it young master.
After the commotion, it went away after glancing at its face.
Looking at the back of it, he felt no emotional fluctuation. He was a rational person, holding grudges with such a young master it would be courting death. If he held a grudge there would be emotional value exuding from him and an expert would be able to tell it right away.
That was also why not many powerhouses made mistakes of letting geniuses live.
