My Gene System

Chapter 9 - Fly High

If he considered everything. Riku could easily tell that he would never be able to defeat five rotten ghouls with his current abilities.

"This is entirely my fault. It would not happen to me if I was simply unwilling to use my [Manifest] skill. Tch!"

He clicked his tongue, annoyed by the situation. Knowing that those monsters would undoubtedly attack him at any time.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Multiple footsteps could be heard not far away. Damn it! The monsters had completely encircled him. What could he do? He needed 16 minutes before his mana pool was increased by one.

[Vomit tar]

Five rotten ghouls launched a magical attack at the human in front of them. While the monsters remained in their positions and emitted dark fire from their mouths, an intense heat was produced.

Swoosh!

Despite the fact that a large fire was surrounding him. Riku didn't think twice about passing over it just to get away from those monsters.

"I can't accept this if I die here; this is just my first day in this strange world."

Riku was confident that he could defeat it in a one-on-one battle. But the story will change when five of them attack him at the same time.

His speed was below average, allowing the monsters from his back to catch up. Riku was fortunate as this Rotten Ghoul was slow.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In order to stay alive. Riku was unconcerned about the small tree branches and spiky plants that scratched his entire body.

[HP:89/100]

His health power was gradually dwindling. But what can he do? If those monsters were the kind against which the inexperienced mutant had no chance.

"H-How long will it be before my mana pool is increased by one?" He stammered out a question to the system.

[Remaining time: 12 minutes and 34 seconds.]

If this kept up. Riku most likely attracted all of the monsters in his vicinity. Why? Because the smell of humans was like grilled meat to the monsters.

There were a lot of things that could happen in 12 minutes. Nonetheless, two thoughts entered his mind. He could die or he could live.

Swoosh!

He changed his course to confuse the monsters chasing him. Furthermore, the monsters' outward appearance did not appear frightening to Riku as they were unable to control their [Vomit tar] skill while moving.

He dashed down the clear straight path. "I can become faster with this as no one can get in my way."

Huff... Huff... Huff...

5 minutes had flown by. The monsters, on the other hand, were relentless in their pursuit of him. "How long will those rotten ghouls follow me?! This is infuriating-"

Roar!

When the tree Tibber monsters unexpectedly appeared on Riku's right side, he became alarmed.

Swoosh!

He slid quickly to the dried surface. To avoid the monster's two [Claws] basic skills and one [Bite] that much closer to him.

Clang!

He dodged the attacks and passed to them after that. He quickly regained his footing and charged down the seemingly endless straight path.

A total of eight monsters of two different types were chasing him down. When a specific monster entered its not territory, the monsters in his world attacked each other. But in this world, things were different because eight of them were helping each other for the same reason. Was to murder this man and consume his flesh and organs.

He still had 6 minutes before he could use the [Fly] skill. But he didn't think he'd make it as he was completely exhausted.

"I'm slowing down," He looked behind him and saw that his gap between the monsters had shrunk to 14 meters.

His main survival strategy was to buy time for the monsters. But he had no idea that his body would fail him in this situation.

Riku's body was lowered, and the carefree expression on his face had been replaced by a lifeless one.

He began to blame himself, realizing that if he hadn't passed out for 45 minutes, those monsters would have been impossible to spot.

The bright yellow sun blinded him, making it impossible for him to see the impending danger.

Crack!

His ears picked up on the sound of solid rock crashing. Apart from that, Riku stumbled as he fell from the high platform.

Riku had been running earlier on the cliff face. The exact distance he was falling to the ground was 100 feet. He blanched, knowing that if he fell from this height, he would perish.

He has 2 minutes before he can cast the [Fly] skill, but he doesn't believe he is still alive at that time.

Despite the fact that he avoided being killed by the monsters. "I'm pretty sure I'd go unconscious if I used the [Fly skill]. What if I landed safely there? But the entire area is surrounded by tough monsters, I'm going to die."

He shook his head slowly in mid-air as his decision changed quickly. In this type of crisis, his life was on the line, and he had to do something that could change his fate. Because no one could see him, no one knew about him, and no one could tell if he was still alive, no matter what happened to him in this world. To put it simply, his life was in his hands and presence of mind.

[Fly!]

Riku shouted while casting this skill, and his voice echoed in the entire place which made the birds fly in the blue sky.

Splash!

Ahhhhhh!!!!

As the dark crow's dark shining wings appeared out his back, red blood splashed in his behind.

[HP: 80/100]

Every time Riku regulated a new skill without being in the right shape. His body was bearing the consequences of his vessel's inability to wield any genes he had previously acquired.

Yes, mastering a rare monster's gene was difficult. It will take a lot of time, patience, and hard work to get it under your control completely.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The eight monsters were desperate to catch him and leaped out of the high cliff, unaware of the casualties.

Riku's vision was becoming foggy. At the same time, his speed remained constant as he sped towards the ground.

"H-How am I going to control these wings? I never even tried it once." With a shaky voice, he said.

Riku didn't appear to have passed out as a result of draining his mana pool. But he had no idea how he was going to control his gleaming wings.

His eyes were slowly closing as he was tired, frustrated, and couldn't figure out what he needed to do next until... Inside his head, he heard a honeyed voice.

'Riku, fly high.'

As he recognized that voice, his eyes widened and he looked around. "Mother?" He was certain of the voice, but he couldn't see his mother.

Hallucination? Or because of his mother's genes?

'Fly high, Riku, until you find me.'

And all of a sudden, his wings were spread guiding him to safely land in the unknown forest.

[Great! Your mana pool added by one!]

The notification was given by the system, while Ruki avoided all the obstacles to his path...
