The Heir of the God of Death
Chapter 80's

We return to the log house in the middle of the forest and Aran begins a flashback of his past.

The plaques...!

I saw little Aran still lying limp and always wanted to call his mother and brother. On the other hand, Master Arum was still busy making a medicinal herb. But when he saw the medicine he made was ready, it made me very surprised, because the medicine he made was very familiar I saw it.

"Isn't that... potion?"

"That's a potion, but it's not perfect now that you use it often."

"If you look around, the magic in the potion that Arum made is very small. Unlike the potion I now drink normally."

"Of course the magic in the potion is very small, because Master Arum is only the third person who continues the development of potions from our predecessors."

"So he's third. I wonder who was the first person to create and have such a great idea."

Aran explained about the potion. That in addition to the ingredients of the potion is very easy to find and not much different from herbal ingredients anywhere, and only one ingredient that distinguishes from other herbs with potions is blood from someone who has a very strong Mana and becomes a potion that contains magic energy.

The effectiveness of the potion system with the man-made potion Awakened in this day and age is very much different, because the recovery effect of their artificial potion is very slow and takes 2 minutes for the potion recovery effect to work perfectly. While the potion of the system has instant recovery even if only drunk a little, the recovery is very great and immediately makes people who drink it immediately refreshed.

"I just found out, the main ingredient of potion making contains magic from people's blood. So all this time I've been drinking blood, dong!" I said with a slightly panicked expression and Aran saw that just put on a flat expression.

"You don't have to worry, you do drink blood but you don't have to drink a glass of blood, only a drop is needed to make it. If the person dripping the blood has a very strong Mana, then the creation of good quality potions and vice versa will create low quality potions, if the person dripping blood has a very low Mana."

"That's it! Phew*.., thank goodness then," I said as I breathed a sigh of relief and held onto my chest. "I think I'll be a vampire, if I drink that potion next."

"Vampire..."

I overheard Aran muttering something and I saw him immediately, and Aran remembered something and he realized I was watching him.

"Nothing to worry about. It's just, I remember someone when we talked about potions."

"Who is it?"

"He was your predecessor and one of my heirs. He was very cruel and indiscriminate, but thanks to his achievements, was able to help his heirs from death even if only temporarily."

Aran looked at me and he seemed to understand that I was very curious, and he just sighed heavily.

"Wound recovery potion, energy and Mana recovery potion, body strengthening potion, and the whole potion of bad effects and protect from all the bad things that happen to you. He is the creator of all the potions, and he is the one who perfected the potions developed by his predecessor."

I was quite surprised to hear that, I did not expect that this person (My Predecessor) was the greatest potion maker so far. But, it seems that Aran was very upset when he told me about that person, I don't know what the problem is, but I'd better not add oil to the fire

We are finally back in focus on his past. Little Aran seemed to have been fully aware, but he was very sad after remembering what happened to his family, he did not expect to see one by one his loved ones lost in front of his eyes.

Master Arum saw this little boy was very sad, he came to little Aran and hugged him so that his sadness was not too deep.

"It feels very heavy if when we wake up from sleep, it turns out that the person who has been waking us from sleeping soundly, it turns out that there is no."

"Yes. That's why I haven't talked for a few days."

The plaques...!

Aran took his time forward and I saw little Aran still sitting in his bed and muttering things over and over again.

"If I hadn't shouted earlier.Da Ge might have come to me. If I.. obey. said Mother.Mom may come to me..."

The sentence had been repeated several times and until finally, his tears came out continuously while saying the sentence continuously.

Aran walked towards the door and we got out of this house. When we came out, I saw Master Arum meditating there.

After a while he sighed and it seemed that his meditation was over, then turned towards the small house behind him.

"That's three days he's been so. It must have been very hard to see his family killed right in front of him" said Master Arum as he rose from his seat. "Alright, it's time to help the child completely."

The plaques...!

Master Arum walks towards his house and at that time Aran changes again the picture of his past.

"Master was really serious about helping me and she even wanted to be my mother, at that time I needed the warmth of a mother."

Hearing that made me a little sad, I also missed my parents a lot and now I am the parent figure for my two sisters.

After moving on, we moved on to a time where little Aran was already a teenager. Said Aran, that he was currently deep in the martial arts that Master Arum taught him. At that time he was also taught how to use Chi, and he said he could use Chi fully when he was seventeen.

"All right enough!"

Instruction stops from Master Arum over training Aran teen. I see this young Aran is really very great, it is not easy for anyone to heal that sad trauma easily.

"You're really great. It wasn't easy for anyone to rise completely from that trauma, let alone that incident happened when he was a child."

"Hehe, thank you," Aran replied with a smile. "I could have gotten up if it wasn't for the Master. I am so grateful to have met him."

Talking about Master Arum always makes Aran smile. Well. I know that feeling, when the person you love is talked about all his kindness, then the closest person must be very happy and happy.

"Master! Do you want to go to the capital?"

"Yes, I want to go there to bring you this herb. Is there anything you want me to buy there?"

"That's..."

It seemed that the teenage Aran was hesitant to tell him, but the Master knew what this young man wanted.

"All right, I'll let you. But, keep your head down this is fine! When you are there, you only need to bring this herbal medicine in the healer there, and if you want to buy something, just buy the necessary and immediately return again."

"Okay, I get it!"

Teenager Aran takes a small basket containing herbal medicine made by Master Arum.

"One more thing. As long as you're there, don't eat people's talk there and ignore them."

Aran the teenager nodded and went straight towards the capital and down the mountain and estuary from the dense forest.

The plaques...!

We moved on to another time. We are now inside the capital and a lot of people are passing by here, it seems to be a market in this place.

"Loh, it wasn't Arum who took him, it was this young man."

Teenager Aran was waiting at one of the herbal medicine shops and looked to be a middle-aged woman who was guarding the figure, and welcomed his arrival.

"Hehe, I just want to help Master. I don't want to trouble the next Master."

"Hoh.., so you're the young man Arum said, yeah. He said that he was now taking care of a child and teaching him various things to be his successor."

"That's it," said teenager Aran. "I didn't expect Master to tell anyone else about myself. Well, I'm not surprised anyway, considering this has become the nature of mothers who like to tell about their children."

I saw the gaze of this young Aran a little sad, and I saw Aran beside me who seemed to have the same gaze as him. This is natural, because Aran misses the figure of his mother who has long gone from him.

After the healer received his ordered goods and gave some copper coins as payment to Aran.

Young Aran went straight out of the shop and looked around, it seemed that there were a lot of things for sale here.

"Should I buy souvenirs for Master?"

This young Aran seemed very happy to think of a gift suitable for this master. It runs through this market, and there are many sales stands lining up here. Starting from food and drinks, accessories, clothing and various everyday items.

"Hm? You seem to be confused, son."

Suddenly an old woman greets a confused Aran buying something. And this old lady is one of the shakers on that stand.

"That's it. I'm confused. For not knowing, what gift would suit him."

"Is she a woman?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then give this to him..."

This old woman gave a necklace with unique carved stones and other interesting decorations around it to young Aran.

"Originally you know. This stone was found deep in the river near the mountain. My late husband and I found a small piece of rock there, and we took it and carved out unique shapes that symbolized loyalty."

Young Aran looked at the unique necklace while thinking about the old woman's words. He thought that this necklace would be perfect for his master if it was worn around his neck.

"This is a very nice necklace. But. This must be expensive. Sorry, I can't buy it..."

When the young Aran wanted to return the necklace, the old woman stopped him and asked him to take it for free.

"Are you sure you gave it to me?"

"Yes. From the beginning of the necklace we never sold it at all. Unless my husband and I give to a loving and loving couple, we never have the intention to profit from such a sincere couple. But we really appreciate a couple like that and just want to make them happy. You love her and you love her, right?"

Aran looked at the necklace for a moment and smiled looking at it, it seems that he was very happy to receive such a beautiful gift and was very grateful to the old woman.

Young Aran immediately returned to his master's residence with a very happy feeling. But, his steps halted for a moment seeing the crowd ahead there.

"This is the one that made me very angry at that time."

I saw people gathered in one place and there was a small stage, like there was going to be a little show there. Young Aran looked at it, deflating his time for a while to watch.

"A little theater, yes" I said.

We saw the running of this show running very lively, it looks the audience is very enthusiastic about this show.

The story shown from this theater is the story of the empire that has been successfully dropped. The story is really very complex and is able to carry the emotions of hatred of the audience against the figure of the emperor character played in the theater.

Various insults, insults, and oaths were handed down to the emperor and all his descendants. But, this story will be enlightened by the presence of the hero who is now the emperor in this kingdom now. It seems that the audience is very praised and happy for the presence of this new leader.

And this story closes by telling a piece of the story and the spice of lies sprinkled in it. This last show shows a story in which the entire royal family is captured and executed.

He said that the emperor who led them before him had a pact with the devil, so the people were very angry to know this and immediately executed all his descendants.

"Yes! They deserve it!"

"They deserve to die! You devil worshipers!"

The screams of the audience made the stage atmosphere a bit noisier, but the story ended where the rebel leader succeeded to the throne and became the emperor in the future.

Pok! Pok! Pok!

The sound of a standing ovation rang out all around young Aran who looked extremely angry behind his flat expression, and his gaze was very empty but very flaming behind it. He clenched his hands as hard as he could and was ready to be extended to anyone.

"Well! I didn't think we could be free from that perverted emperor. What will be our fate, if still led by the perverted emperor."

"Yes, of course, sensara. But thanks to the emperor now, we can live prosperously."

The young man who had been holding the flames out of his body, made him almost explode. But, he remembered the words of his master, that he should ignore all the words he would hear later.

The young Aran finally decided to return. Who originally wanted to go home with a happy feeling, but something sad came to him, so that the wounds that had been bandaged in his heart were now opened little by little, so that the pain began to feel again.

"It is the winner who will change a story, whether it be a lie or the truth. All of those things will be completely controlled by the winner" I said as I looked at Aran beside me, and he felt very sad to see all these lies.

"It makes me very angry, but I also have to be happy about it. Father said at that time, that a true leader is to see the people he dreams of living prosperous. He did not mind his position being taken if it allowed his people to prosper, he did not mind if he had to die, if it allowed his people to live happily. I only understood his words when I was twenty."

I was so impressed by his persistence. I would probably have a hard time living like that, if someone like Master Arum was by my side though.

The plaques...!

We moved to another time. We are in the residence of Master Arum and Aran. I saw Master Arum collecting some herbs in his little basket he was carrying.

"...?"

Master Arum turned around and it seemed that he .feeled the presence of someone. He got up and walked in the direction where the person would come.

"Hm?"

It looked like a young man was walking with a very slightly dark face. Master Arum immediately understood what happened to his protege and immediately inspired him.

"Masters..."

His tears came out and immediately hugged the woman before him. His cries that he had been enduring were now released and made no sound at all. On the other hand, Master Arum should behave as a mother right now.

The plaques...!

We moved away again. This time we moved where Aran was already eighteen years old.

"Hey!"

It seemed that this young Aran was training seriously and on the other hand Master Arum was taking notice of him.

"I think he'll be ready soon" Arum said.

Aran is still training and on the other hand I am very confused, what is the intention of the preparation that Master Arum said.

"Master Arum means, he wants me to be the next heir to that power. So no wonder, he was so loud and attentive to my every development, it turned out to be all these things."

If you notice, my condition is also almost the same as him and now I am in a state where I am now a Heredist, and passed the test given by the system.

I saw this young Aran finished with his training and went straight to Master Arum.

"Master!"

"Yes?"

"That's why I love Master so much, please be my wife!"

I was very surprised to hear that and immediately looked at Aran who was beside me. He seemed very embarrassed and turned away from me for a while.

"Alah~, the son of snot whom I once cared for and looked upon as a mother, has now become a brave young man and views me as the opposite sex."

"I really love Master. I don't think there's a woman like you in this world."

"You sure chose me, I'm not a young woman. I may be older than your father."

"But, if you notice. Master is very young and looks like my own brother. I don't care how old you are, I really love you!"

Hearing that made Master Arum smile and said :

"Basically stubborn. All right, I'll accept you, if you show yourself to be a real man."

"How do I show you that I'm a real man in your eyes?"

"Sederhan only. Are you sure you want to?"

"Yes! I do whatever it takes to get a confession out of you!"

"Good," Arum replied as he stuck out his tongue.

The plaques...!

Instantly everything went dark and this time we started a short chat.

"I wonder how old Arum is?"

"You wouldn't have thought about his age. Master Arum's age is more than 300 years..."

I was very surprised to hear that and did not expect if, that there were people living that long in the past.

"He's the only one among the heirs who has a lifespan of hundreds of years."

I cannot say anything about this and am only amazed at the struggle that Master Arum has been going through all his life as a Heredist.

We were inside Arum's little house and saw a very hot sight.

"Ah~ ah~, you really are a real man, darling, ah~!"

"Master~!"

"More powerful again, Darling~, ah~!"

The plaques...!

Aran quickly replaced the flash and we both showed surprised expressions.

"So it's a test showing you to be a real man?"

"You could say so. And it's not time you saw that."

"But I'm twenty years old, Grandpa."

"It just can't! It's about my privacy!"

A little disappointed, though. I haven't seen hot entertainment for a long time and again, I've seen it live, so the sensation would be very different if I watched it over the internet.

This time I was shown something very stressful. Where a solar eclipse occurs and it makes people who see it panic. On the other hand, behind that high mountain.

There was a terrible fight and could not be thought of with common sense.

"Isn't that 'They'!"

"Yes, the current Master is fighting 'They' again and this time the numbers are getting more and more."

I was very surprised by what I saw, there were over twenty people who were fighting Master Arum with their own strength. And on the other hand, Master Arum was extremely overwhelmed facing them because of the numbers.

"Hehe! You guys are really rotten. After I killed a few of you, you guys brought even more friends. This proves that you are very weak."

Hearing that made "They" furious and directly attacked Master Arum at once.

"Come out, baby~."

Bussh...!

Instantly a strong wind was blown in the sky and it appeared a giant creature and its body was very long, able to cover the sky with its skin as black as night.

"Gee!!!"

All these gods were shocked by this terrible figure and I was so surprised to see it.

"Isn't that... dragon?!"

"It was a dragon. But, this dragon is the partner of the Master."

I was surprised again and did not expect, that there is a Heredis partner of this size and able to surround a mountain with his body.

"Alright~, my dear Nodrac~, it's time for you to eat."

"Haaarrrrh...!!!"

The black dragon directly attacked half of the god and was able to break their formation.

"Hok! I think my time is up" said Arum as he looked down and looked at young Aran who was fixated on this terrible fight. "I'm so happy to spend time with that brat."

Master Arum saw his partner overwhelmed against "They" all and I saw Master Arum muttering :

"Paschimmu..."

Bing!

Suddenly a blinding light appeared from Master Arum's body and it made young Aran come to a realization as well.

"Master!"

Master Arum turned around after being summoned by young Aran and he just smiled, and instantly the whole thing that happened just disappeared, and came back to the way it was.

The young Aran who saw that, still could not believe that the master he loved so much had disappeared before him.

"From here, my journey began as Heredis of the Master. And the Master told me that I should show my pride as a human being in the presence of 'They' later."

The plaques...!

We moved on again and this time the story will focus on being the protector of mankind.
