《Mushoku Tensei: That one forgotten Mob》E Chapter 152: Sacrifice
Advertisement
God title holder.
People may be aware that those who possess the title are also regarded among the best.
However, there appears to be an error in the title's interpretation.
Magician, Weapon master, technique user, and even smiths diversify their understanding into rank to make people have an easier understanding towards the mastery.
From beginner to advanced, this is a place where normal humans can succeed without the assistance of Mana and Ki.
After surpassing the limit of a mortal, you will reach a level where you will be given ethereal titles such as Saint, King, and Emperor.
What about God, then?
This is the rank of those who have surpassed the superhuman limit, a limit at which both humans and demons begin from the same place.
An unknown place where there’s no limit to their ceilings.
Those who successfully reach the realm as mortals are typically too elderly to keep their intelligence. Some may have seen their expertise decline over time, or even lose it entirely.
Different from the North style that used this rank as title of the master of the practice, the God rank is actually a turning point that makes people had differed understanding as they reached the pinnacle of what a mortal can do.
However, they must still study to better themselves and delve deeper into the knowledge that would allow them to advance in rank.
"It appears that ancient knowledge contains information regarding sacrifice summoning..." Perugius stated while placing the cup on the table.
"However, this is an old ceremony in which the practitioner would summon a sentient being from beyond our comprehension. An alien entity approaching this universe...
After receiving the information, Perugius tap on his forehead, as if he just received some information from something in his brain.
It is unknown what is truly occurring, but he suddenly grew quiet, suggesting that he has learned something.

“This is… I see…”
Perugius mumbled.
"Have you discovered something?"
The old man can’t help but getting anxious out of care towards the boy, it might be helpful if Perugius just had some information regarding this since the Mud can hopefully had a life like a normal kid had.
As if he understood something, Claude glanced at the boy with a look of wonder, as if he understood something.
"A Miko…" Claude abruptly said.
“Indeed” Perugius answered, and he continued.
“Sigh… Your parents' decision to sacrifice a Miko is incredibly foolish... I can’t help but questioning, what they wanted to have so much that it is worthy enough to sacrifice a person that held an immeasurable power…”
"I assume the child is a Miko with the capacity to control mana, which explains why he can learn more about it than even the masters, without being taught," As he continued Perugius' words, Claude said.
"I believe so, as the devils have taken a fancy to him and can share his body parts as often as they want; I believe they are killing each other without realizing that the body parts and talent will return to the child after the death of his brethren."
"A foolish act for a hungry scoundrel, indeed a template..."
"That is an undeniable fact. However, this is the first time a Miko of such a powerful element has truly appeared."
"Has there never been one before?"
“Based on the Mana in his surrounding, they almost had the same weight as mine. But the density is astonishingly dense, even denser than mine..."
“Woah… Mana more powerful than even a dragon, and that's not even an entire chunk. This is seriously broken…”
The youngster is frightened by the amused expressions of Claude and Perugius, and he hides behind the old man since he cannot comprehend what the frightening adults are saying.

"Relax, relax, you bunch of sick freaks... explain it to us, so we can understand them” Lynn said, as he stopped Perugius and Claude conversation.
"Would you like a lengthy explanation or an abridged one?"
“The one that can makes me understand them”
"All right, castle master. Please…” Claude said as he offered Perugius his seat.
"A summoning typically requires a sacrifice. I've never heard of a living creature being utilized as a material for summoning. However, there are some who have attempted them and failed." "It has already been indicated in the case file that summoning has occurred. Thus, the components of a baby's living body were formerly referred to as demons. Which is fairly correct as a substance for summoning, but this is where it went wrong."
A human bodily component is ineffective.
Or so Perugius said.
Even a baby's or an adult's body is of little value to these formless beings, as neither the exterior nor the senses of a live being possess anything worthy of being employed as a vessel.
They must materialize in order to exist in the material world.
The larger their vessel, the greater their might.
It’s a simple concept.
Obviously, the situation is different with Mana. A formless, flexible energy that could help them become anything they desired, provided they had sufficient quantities. Even if they want their greatest and perfect form, it is possible for them to achieve it.
Therefore, they competed for the Miko with the most potent mana.
“In a way, this is fate huh…” Claude said as he regarded the boy.
Having a clear knowledge of the type of tragedy one would experience if they gained power despite common sense...
"I cannot dispute that, despite the fact that a Miko is found once every generation on average. Most of them, almost all of them will have a tragedy on their life”
Even though Lucas did not say anything, he is aware of Milshion's and Shirone's Miko pasts, which cannot be described as happy. None of the Miko he knew had experienced a normal childhood.
"Well, youngster, we share the same fate. But we took a different route, and now that at least one of the mysteries has been solved, we may speculate on what is happening to your parents and what you would do if you knew them."
Claude said, arms akimbo.
"Wait, we're still in the dark regarding the brat's parents and the location of the devil exploiting the boy's body parts..."
Lynn suddenly interrupted.
"In fact, given the devil's characteristic. It is not difficult to determine that the boy's parents have been murdered, nor is it difficult to look for a suddenly disappearing fief within a few years of the boy's birthdate. Hopefully, the old guy remembers the years when he discovered the boy..."
“Of course, I remember that!”
The old man then gave Claude the boy's birthday.
“Okay, U, enquire C about the information…”
"Yes sir…"
"Let's now return to the topic..." Claude seemed immediately solemn as he regarded the minstrel.
“Who are you?”

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe.

He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
