SSS-Rank Devourer: I Consumed My Way to Godhood

Chapter 2

Kieran was somewhat surprised at the details appearing on his system panel.

In his mind, the so-called energy forms were nothing more than elemental crystals and the nuclei of various exotic beasts.

However, according to the memories of this body, the energy contained in a beast nucleus could not be absorbed by humans.

After all, exotic beasts and humans follow completely different cultivation paths.

"Never mind. Since the system says that I can devour all forms of energy, I'll know for sure once I try it later!"

Just as Kieran was pushing down the doubts in his heart, a pleasing bell sound suddenly rang out.

The bell...

That was the bell signaling the end of school.

"Kieran, do you have any plans after this?"

"I recently discovered a hidden gem of a small shop. Their spicy hot pot is simply superb. Do you want to check it out with me?"

Before Kieran could digest the information, Jasper Finn, with twinkling eyes, leaned in, his words drooling with anticipation.

If it were before, Kieran would have absolutely agreed.

After all, his previous sensitivity to elements was a complete mess. Rather than stress over that fact, it would have been better to enjoy each day as it comes.

But now, he has awakened the system. It is as if he was given a chance to start over.

How could he remain the same as before?

"Nevermind, I'm a bit tired. I think I'll head home for today."

Shaking his head, Kieran softly declined Jasper's invitation, immediately heading home at a brisk pace.

Watching Kieran's retreating figure, Jasper shook his head in confusion.

He felt that his good friend seemed a little different today!

...

Twenty minutes later.

"Kieran? Why did you come back so early today? Didn't you go out with your classmates?"

As soon as the door was pushed open, Kieran's mother, Elena Vale, poked her head out of the kitchen, looking somewhat surprised.

"I didn't go out, feeling a bit hungry!"

Kieran gave a slight smile and responded gently.

"Hungry? That's easy to deal with! Go wash your hands and we will start eating shortly!"

As soon as Elena heard that her son was hungry, she no longer cared about chatting and immediately began to busily work in the kitchen.

Instead, Kieran's gaze fell upon his father, Marcus Vale, who was sitting in the living room watching a video segment.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"What can it be? It's not any different from before!"

After that, Marcus surreptitiously glanced toward the kitchen, pouted, and said in a lowered voice:

"In my opinion, I might as well stop taking the medicine. Anyway, my body is already like this, there's no need to increase expenses for the family."

Upon hearing this, Kieran, not waiting to respond, shrugged his shoulders at Marcus, and immediately dashed into his own room.

As expected, the next second.

"Mr. Vale, as long as I am in this house, don't even think about stopping your medication. If you have the guts, go argue with the Ashcroft family, and don't fill Kieran's head with nonsense here!"

Originally, Kieran's father was a member of the guard unit. Due to an accident, his health deteriorated daily. Even medication was only able to slow down the worsening of his condition, and was absolutely incapable of a complete cure.

On multiple occasions, Marcus had thought of ceasing treatment to save some money for the family, but his wife Elena had always made the insistence.

With the closing of the door, the world went quiet momentarily.

The furnishings inside the room were just like the ones in his memories. Though the room wasn't large, it was very warm and cozy.

"Hmm? It's April 3rd?"

Just then, the calendar displayed on the table caught Kieran's attention.

If his memory was right, he died on April 10th in his past life.

Although the world's background had changed in this life, the characters and events were almost the same.

Could it be that he would still die on April 10th?

Because Kieran knew that his death in his past life was no accident, but murder!

The murderer, was none other than Damien Ashcroft, the root cause for his father's worsening sickness. Damien was the revered son of the Ashcroft family from the city of Ironhaven!

In his past life, his father was involved in a car accident while on his way home from work, and the driver was Damien.

Even though the world's background had changed in this life, the cause for his father's state was still thanks to Damien's doing!

Previously, in a battle against a vicious beast, Kieran's father's entire team was annihilated. Before the team leader died, he specifically entrusted the beast's core to Marcus.

Savage beasts are categorized into two types, ferocious beasts and demon beasts.

Ferocious beasts are regarded as the equivalent of the human body-refining period, also having four stages- the early, middle, late, and peak phases.

Demon beasts, on the other hand, are no different from fighters, and are divided into nine grades.

The beast core that Marcus received was indeed from a peak phase ferocious beast, rendering it extremely precious.

In addition to its utility value, this beast core also carried a special sentimental value for Marcus!

However, Damien, mysteriously found out this information and intended to pocket this beast core at a price significantly lower than its market value.

After all, it wasn't the first time that Damien had been involved in a forced purchase.

Marcus was naturally unwilling to give it up, which then resulted in him being resented by Damien, who initiated a campaign of vengeance against him.

In the past life, Damien was the one who had personally killed Kieran's father by running him over in a car. However, in the current life, he had instigated others to commit this act.

As for how he died in the previous life, it doesn't matter anymore.

Now, his main goal is to strangle the key culprit, Damien, in his cradle.

"One more week!"

One week!

Not only does he need to maintain self-protection abilities but also ensure the safety of his family.
