The Cheat Seed

Chapter 27

"And I have this Cheat Seed...."

Marcus said as it was casual, that too looking directly at his dad's eyes.

"Ah" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Albert replied with a smile.

"Eh?"

His dad snapped back when he rethought about what his son had said.

Marcus broke down at his dad's expression and laughed.

"As expected"

Marcus said between his laughs.

He soon calmed down and looked at them.

"Ok so I'll tell my adventure after that fall"

Marcus said.

"Please do son"

His dad's reply was quick, he was sitting at the very end of the sofa.

Marcus started his tale from his jump from the academy. Hearing that he tried to end his life made his Mother's eyes tear up. She wiped it quick and smiled as Marcus continued his story.

His Dad's eyes went wide when Marcus said he met The Legendary, The one and only, Flame Emperor. Even though there was a little doubt in his eyes, he soon nodded when he realized his son had completely changed from being short and slim to be the hottest of his age.

Both of his parents felt proud when Marcus said he conquered all three high ranked Dungeons. Even though both of them had a bit of worry in their eyes, the unscathed Marcus in front of them reassured everything.

Finally His dad's eyes almost popped out when his son said he recieved The Glame Emperor's Cheat Seed.

"Marcus, thank you..for coming back"

Albert hugged him. Reiren just behind them, wiping her tears.

Marcus hid the fact that he had two Familiars and a Soul Spirit. Knowing too much might put them in disadvantage and make them worry more about his health. So Marcus kept shut about the gifts he recieved from the Dungeon except the Costume set he was wearing.

His mom looked at his costume and scowled.

"Marcus, your dress might have dirt and sweat in it let me clean it for you."

Albert loosed his hug and took a step back to see his son's weird costume.

"Ah not needed mom, It auto cleans itself every 2 hours."

Marcus replied as he stood there, showing them his outfit.

He snapped his fingers and the costumes vanished. Instead of the Red devil set, his torn Jean's and naked torso was now visible. The tattoos hid themselves on command. Another perk of Beast Tamers.

Both of his parents eyes popped when they saw their son's chiseled body. Albert went close to him and pressed on his abs. He quickly clicked on all 8 of them with all the force he could.

When he finished, his fingers hurt and his jaw slacked when he realized they were reddened.

"Son, You...You are Amazing"

Albert said as he punched his son's abs and scowled in pain from the recoil.

"I know right"

Marcus said as he rubbed his nose, proud.

"Brother has Muscles??!!!"

Iris said from behind.

"Hehe, Yea"

Marcus said and flexed his biceps.

Iris jumped up and hanged on his hand. Marcus pulled her up and down like she was some sort of dumbells. Her laugh made Marcus blush.

[Yep, He's turning into a sis-con]

The system spoke inside him.

"Finally, Dude I thought you were dead"

[Nah Bro, was chilling with your brain here]

"Who are you talking to son?"

His dad asked intrigued.

"Ah, Dad I forgot to say that I have a system too"

Marcus said, scratching his chin.

"A...System?....ALREADY!!!....A SEED USER HAD TO MASTER THE BASICS OF THEIR POWERS FIRST TO ENABLE THEIR SYSTEM FROM THE 'SAO' (System Awakening Office), AND YOU ARE SAYING YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE??? YOU MASTERED THE BASICS ALREADY!!?!???"

"Yea...Dad"

He replied, still scratching his chin.. Why not, it was awkward. He just didn't master the basics, but he owns the system now.

"Marcus you keep on suprising me everytime you open your mouth"

Albert said, a bit of wave in his voice.

"Yea dad, I wanted you to have this"

Marcus opened his inventory and pulled out 1 Battle Axe. The one from the Ogre Dungeon. He had thousands of them in his inventory.

"This is a S ranked artifact, which I got from the First dungeon"

Marcus spoke, shifting the Battle axe from his right to left.

"You are the one in charge of Weapons right Dad?, I'll give thousands of these Axes to the department."

Albert kept his head down at Marcus's word. But Marcus didn't notice the sudden atmosphere change in the room, he kept on talking about how he had another thing to give him.

He pulled out 10 Demon Nine Tailed Fox fangs and showed his father.

"These are SC ranked Arti..."

Marcus's voice faded out when he noticed his dad's head drooped down. His mother's sight was down as well.

"What happened to you guys?"

There was no reply from them.

Marcus saw his dad hesitate. Suddenly the incident before came to his mind. He had heard them talk about farmers and his dad working in the fields.

He pushed the fangs and the battle axe into his inventory and closed it.

As soon as he closed his inventory, he walked towards his Parents, who were still looking at the floor.

"What happened Dad?, Tell me!!. I am here now, Everything is going to be ok"

Marcus reassured his parents as he pulled them close and hugged them.

The same feeling of wetness hit Marcus, when he felt water roll down from his chest. His dad was crying, his mother was sobbing.

"DAD!!!, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT NOW!!!"

Marcus jerked his dad, holding his shoulders.

Albert was still crying, there was no reply from him. Marcus left him and grabbed his mother by her shoulders and pulled her close.

"At least You tell me Mom, What in the world happened???"

There was no reply from her side too. Tears rolled down from her cheeks and hit the floor.

Marcus couldn't see them like this, he needed to know what was going on.

He shifted his gaze once again to his dad.

"Dad please...Tell me"

Marcus said in a pleading voice which was low and raspy.

Albert, his dad wiped of his tears. His eyes were still glued onto the floor. After some seconds and a breathing session, Reiren and Albert settled on the sofa behind them.

Marcus bend on his knees and placed his hands on their knees.

"Now tell me Dad, Mom..Trust me I can deal with anything."

Marcus spoke.

"I am NOT THE MARCUS FROM BEFORE, I am now simply the strongest here, I don't fear anything, I don't run away from troubles anymore Mom, Dad. TRUST YOUR SON"

Reiren was the first to speak up.

"We don't want you to face any more trouble Marcus, It's better we leave this as it is"

Marcus sighed at his mom's word.

"But, I can Only leave things as it is only if I know what the thing is first"

He replied and shifted his gaze from his mom to Albert.

Albert took his hands away from his eyes, They were shriveled. He quickly gave a gaze to his wife and then brought it back to his son's face and looked at him in his eyes. Marcus's eyes expressed he was curious and worried at the same time.

Taking a long breath again, Albert, Marcus's dad held his son's hand.

"I....SPO..SPOKE AGAINST THE KING, FOR YOU"
