Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Spiders & Knowledge



Earlier I had a strange dream about me waking on top of a golden sea with gray fog all around him. I could only see two feet in front of me, I saw three objects in the light gray fog.

I saw two orange moons above my head, which dyed the fog a bit orange. Deep within the fog, I saw a huge black and blue flame, which looked to be chained down by golden chains coming from the golden sea below.

He had planned on telling his parents about the dream after he got ready and went downstairs. The moment he went down, Lucas had forgotten about the dream entirely.

Soon enough, he sat down quietly. While Inside the living room, Lucas was sitting on the L-shaped couch. The walls were painted light gray, and the birchwood floor was the theme for most of the first floor. 

Lucas disliked the entire downstairs floor choice, he was always wearing socks downstairs due to it having no carpet, unlike the entire second floor.

The kitchen & bathrooms had white marble floors. The bedrooms, hallway, and everything else downstairs had birchwood floors. He was the only one wearing socks downstairs usually. His parents had owned this place for over twenty years, and by now his issues were something they had gotten used to ages ago.

The control his father had over the thermostat downstairs was unbelievable. It was usually the same temperature as the fridge most months for some odd reason.

His large black safety blanket was his only oasis in this icy world during any season but winter. His mother's agreement was odd as well. They weren't that strict upstairs about the temperature. It was only after it was winter that they gave in about the thermostat.

The entire house was usually divided into two layers. The upstairs was always warm, and downstairs was basically a snowstorm 24/7. The only time they raised the temperature was during the winter seasons or else It was always chilly.

'Why did I think of that again, I had already thought of it earlier in a different way. Why am I thinking about this, I'll worry about that later, my head is feeling weird.'

Today was a different story. I was sitting on the downstairs couch with Mom sitting across from me. The trails I dealt with in other months weren't an issue today.

Today is the day I officially began stepping into the mysterious world. The same world my parents have been living in for who knows how many years.

Three people could be seen downstairs, Lucas's mom was sitting on a chair in front of the TV close by the coffee table in the middle. The father was on the recliner having the time of his life sleeping with a newspaper on his face.

The father was to Lucas's right, the kitchen to the left, and the door going outside was on the TV's left side.

Lucas zoned out looking at the birchwood floors. He looked around to see a white spider with black eyes on one of the light gray walls. The spider's back had a symbol of a black book on it.

Lucas found it weird, but the more he thought of it the less he recognized it. Before long the spider was completely forgotten about.

Before long his attention was brought to his mother as she started talking.

Lucas, today we will be talking about many important things. The first topic will involve us as a family and the powers we have access to.

Just like your father told you yesterday, I am a witch who uses magic. Sweetie, the magic we weld is something we inherited as a family. The source of this power dates back to your great-great-grandfather, your great-great-grandmother.

Grandpa Max was something of a rare & powerful human with incredible levels of magic power. He may have also had a unique taste for certain kinds of mythical races. He married two women, one was a 1st generation shapeshifter, and the other was an ancient witch.

Our family's abilities come from both Grandpa Max and that dirty witch.

"Mom, why do you keep calling her a witch instead of her name?" Lucas asked as she kept looking mad whenever she talked about his great-great-grandma.

I'll tell you when you get older, but that bi—- women is one of the reasons we have magic.

I won't talk any further about this. The talks of magic are for another day. Your father kept going on and on yesterday about my magic, yet forgot to mention he also had powers.

He uses something called cursed energy and has a tool forging cursed technique. Cursed energy is like magic as to succeed you need talent.

"Do I have cursed technique as well? If I have the magical potential I got from you, then I must have inherited a cursed technique, or whatever." he asked hoping for the answer he wanted to come, that was not to be.

"No, sorry Lucas, but you are disabled in the Jujutsu sorcerer world. It's not that you don't have a cursed technique, but it was formed incorrectly. You have a massive pool of cursed energy as well from my tests, but something is stopping you from accessing it."

"Yesterday you were able to see cursed energy since your body awakened that day. Something changed within your body that caused you to be able to see them clearer. Before your awakening, we noticed you saw cursed spirits, but they were all blurry and couldn't be fully seen. We usually destroyed all the ones around the house. We also did the same with any you pointed out."

'So I wasn't crazy after all, those blurry bastards existed, but my parents kept saying they weren't real.' Lucas's hands tightened at the realization of all the lies he faced over the years. He calmed down as he knew it was for him.

Just a reminder these are the results found from the tests.

1. You can see cursed energy and spirits, but not use any techniques or the energy.

2. You have a powerful magical potential, but no magical knowledge to use it.

The other two abilities you have are strange as no one in the family naturally has these abilities. Your blood has some sort of purifying properties so any sort of corruption, curse, negative energy, or object can be fully purified with your blood. 

So in theory, it's harder for you to be possessed by an evil entity in general. This might also be one of the reasons you can't use cursed energy. But since your father can still see your cursed energy it seems unlikely.

The last ability you have is some sort of teleportation ability. We don't know any of its activation conditions. So we will do some training and tests in the future.

"Are those all the abilities I have, Mom? Does that mean I can be like Superman and save the world?" Lucas asked while he got off the couch to start jumping around with a smile.

Emma's face twitched at the fact her son wanted to be a hero, even more so when he picked Superman as his ideal.

'No son of mine is going to be a crazy heroic bastard. Your Uncle Ben with his shapeshifter abilities is bad enough. We don't need another hero in the family.

Grandpa Max with his plumber business was another story altogether. '

'Seems me and your father need to wipe that heroic bone out of our baby boy's body.'

"Lucas, while you have great potential you don't have any real experience or power to help anyone or save even yourself for that matter. Just focus on our next lesson and take your training seriously this week." Emma spoke to her hoping he wouldn't become a self-sacrificing freak who would value the life of a stranger more than themselves or family.

"Ok Mom, but just watch me, I am going to become the strongest, you'll see." Lucas said as he sat back down on the couch.

Emma paused for a bit before asking if Lucas was hungry or thirsty before continuing.

Lucas, as you already know this world is full of almost every type of creature under the sun. Our previous lecture talked about different abilities within the family, but now I will talk about the different abilities seen around the world.

'Mom didn't talk about her parents or anyone on dad's side of the family. Maybe she will talk about this later on' Lucas zoned out a bit before refocusing on his mom.

Emma paused her talk a bit to give Lucas some time to think before continuing her lesson.

In this world there exist many beings, Lucas, many of them follow completely different rules in how they use or gain power. I will mostly be explaining what I know so hold your questions till the end, and use the notebook I gave you to write down anything you want like your questions for example.

'Guess mom's signature lecture is going to start, finally, it's about something seemingly more interesting than math, history, English, Latin, Japanese, Chinese, or the other languages she forced me to learn.' Lucas thought as he had always dreamed of learning magic while reading.

Lucas, as your mother, I will be teaching you everything I know, but we have to start with the basics first to understand what kind of powers exist. With some basic history with secret history behind these powers.

'Secret History about special abilities….., maybe I can pay attention to history for once if it involves these subjects.'

Be aware that I don't know everything. There probably are some other classifications and power systems out there, I have no idea about Lucas.

'Huh, never thought mom wouldn't know something like this. I've tested her knowledge in the past and anything I can think of was already known by her. From the random facts in the books, I read to all the problems I have at school. Her only flaw was her and dad's refusal to use the internet for an extended time.' 

'So most things online are unknown to her and dad, we didn't even have a TV, pc, or internet till I was eight, I had to beg them for it.' He frowned for a second remembering his dark boring past.

As your father told you yesterday, I am a witch and he is a hunter. I use magic and he uses cursed energy. These are two widespread power systems throughout the world.

Japan has the highest number of cursed energy users or as they call them jujutsu sorcerers. Magic and witches can be seen everywhere, but generally, they gather around places of magic.

'Did she seriously forget she had already told me this like 20 minutes ago? Wait, why do I remember her conversations so clearly now.'

'I see, that the awakening they mentioned last night also improved my memory, mom & dad would usually have to repeat themselves for the information to stick back in the day.' Lucas's mind went into a daze as his mind felt more clear than ever.

Soon enough he appeared standing on top of a golden sea with two orange moons above him. The sky was light gray with an orange hue of the shining moons above.

In the middle of this sea was a huge black and blue flame with golden chains sealing it. With every step Lucas took he walked closer and closer to the flame.

Emma kept talking for a bit before noticing her son wasn't paying attention.

"Lucas, are you paying attention." Emma said as she left her spot by the TV to go to Lucas.

Soon enough she was in front of her son before she noticed that even standing in front of him didn't make him notice his mother. She shook him a bit with her arms, but even that didn't wake him up.

After standing there for a few seconds she bent down to kiss her son's forehead to snap him out of that and give him a hug too.

Lucas was in deep thought as he was close to reaching enlightenment with his sudden epiphany his mind became clearer than ever.

Before he could truly comprehend the black and blue flames within his mind the gold sea around him grew restless.

Lucas was mindlessly walking towards the flame and just before he could reach it he heard he felt a hug. Soon enough his surroundings faded, and he woke up with a hug and a kiss.

"MOM, I told you not to kiss me anymore. I'm not a kid anymore, I'm already 13 ok." Lucas said while forgetting about his previous mysterious travel once again.

"Lucas, if you don't want to be treated as a child, then pay attention like an adult." Emma said jokingly as she released her son from her hug. Soon enough she went back to her old spot to sit down.

The white spider went unnoticed as it sat on the 85-inch flat-screen TV. It almost seemed like it was listening as well with interest.

"Unlike your father's gifts, you completely inherited my witch talents, you even surpassed my potential."

'It really seems my grandmother's talents skipped me alone, but Gwen and my father were given the full package. That was probably the reason why she favored Dad and Gwen more than me growing up.' Emma stopped reflecting before continuing her lesson.

Hunters are mostly humans who rely on knowledge to use the weaknesses of what they hunt to kill them.

Most monsters don't train to be strong but were just born that way with those kinds of powers.

That's the general way monsters obtain power, but demons unlike monsters can get stronger if they obtain a certain status in hell or have some souls under their command to use to empower themselves.

That is the general way demons gain power. They use souls as batteries to fuel demonic methods to empower themselves. 

This isn't something uniquely done by demons with souls being very valuable in general. Souls contain an unbelievable amount of energy, this unique energy can't be stolen or used without consent. These are the reasons demons are willing to grant you any mortal wish, as your soul is infinitely more valuable than the gold, status, or power they give you for it.

An example to help you picture the value of a soul would be this. Imagine a person had a nuke capable of destroying an entire city like New York entirely. But, this person was unable to use said nuke. So another person came by with an offer. They told them they would give them a single building with one grenade capable of destroying a single small minivan. All of these usable items would be given to them if they just sold the nuke to the man making the deal.

He would try to say you can't use the nuke anyway. Then finish it off by saying you might as well sell it to me while getting something valuable and useful in return.

'So nothing in the world is equal to your soul huh? I'll ask Mom later on how to train my soul, who knows maybe having a strong soul might make me stronger. I wonder what kind of knowledge will be involved in that field, I can't wait to learn all about it.'

Most monsters or creatures of myth don't train to gain strength but just exist and get strong powers. Beyonder pathways are the way anyone can gain power easily. The Flow power system is another method. Monsters/demons from a certain dimension have demon energy. Angels have sacred energy, the highest form of spiritual energy around. Something only heroes of myth can obtain. We'll talk about this further another time.

Almost every other power system requires talent or a special bloodline to use. Hunters gain strength via knowledge of those they hunt, creatures in myth are inherently powerful, and using souls requires knowledge and ability.

Hunters don't count as they are just regular humans with knowledge about monsters.

'Mom and Dad are hunters, so chances are I will also become one later on.'

Your father's gifts are like those of a monster, they also have a chance to get stronger with training. Cursed techniques aren't made, they are something you are born with. The cursed energy power system is 80% innate talent and 20% hard work and training.

'80% talent, 20% hard work, that doesn't sound very user-friendly.' Lucas's disappointment at his crippled status in the Jujutsu sorcerer world was telling just from his thoughts alone.

The sequences in any pathway offer an insane amount of power, but it is also an easy way to go insane. Becoming a Beyonder is extremely dangerous in the long term.

'Becoming a Beyonder sounds dangerous, but perhaps if I do it correctly, it can be very rewarding. Mom says it's dangerous, but maybe I can do it since my blood will probably purify some of the corruption. When did she talk about the corruption again, yes she did talk about it, yes...' Lucas giggled a bit at the endless future possibilities.

Most Beyonders are hidden from the public. These individuals are the most hidden most of the time. The Flow power system isn't something we use, so if you want to learn more you need a teacher for that.

'I'll leave that up to Mom, maybe she knows someone that can teach me..'

Those who become Beyonders fight against themselves, and Gods who seek to corrupt them into whatever they see fit. Almost everything you do as a Beyonder is dangerous. But taking on this path is very rewarding with the power it grants.

I and your father chose not to become a Beyonder, as we felt it was too risky. If you ever want to become one. Never choose any of these five pathways, Demoness, visionary, Abyss, Error, and Chained. All of them are either owned by powerful groups or powerful gods.

There might be other pathways to watch out for Lucas. Be careful, we don't know the ins and outs of Beyonder politics, and these five pathways are just the ones we know to stay away from.

'Sounds like mom purposely left out some information. Can these Beyonders help one become a God? Become a God… Be a God…. DIVINITY!'

'Why be a hero or a wizard, when you can be a God!' The instant he had this idea he felt being a God was a better dream than being an Arch Wizard. All his other dreams didn't seem to matter anymore as being a God was all that mattered. Eternity. . . Infinite knowledge. . . Endless possibilities!!!

Unknowingly without anyone noticing the white spider was on Lucas's shoulder as its mouth warped to form a smile. Without missing a beat the spider turned invisible and vanished.

"Lucas, remember when I said we were going to talk about ancient history and huge secrets?" Emma asked, making sure her son paid attention enough to handle the next topic.

"Ya I got it mom, you don't need to repeat yourself anymore. That awakening or whatever improved my memory, so now I feel wonderful." Lucas replied with a joyful tone as he started smiling uncontrollably. 

'Lucas never smiled that often, but it's probably all in my mind. He might just be very excited.....yes excited that...that's all it is. My...my baby boy is normal. My baby boy is normal, yes.'

"One more thing, Mom can becoming a Beyonder help you become a GOD!" Lucas held back a bit as he sounded a little crazy saying, God. But, oddly enough, his mom didn't notice it and answered his question calmly enough to him.

"Yes, Lucas you would be… be… bee ri…right.

I..If you beco….be..be become a Beyonder you CAN BECOME A GOD, YES, LUCAS BEING A GOD IS GOOD!!!"

Emma's loud shout woke up James as he got off his seat to look around while still half asleep. He heard the sound of insects crawling around, the sound of something whispering an unknown language into his ear.

The voices stopped once he truly opened his eyes to look around in horror as his body was covered in webs.

He used his cursed techniques forging flames to burn them off his body before looking around.

His eyes opened in terror as his wife and son were covered in spider webs with a white spider on the living room ceiling the size of a basketball with a black book as a symbol on its back. The room's light turned red giving the entire room a red hue.
