When Mr Bug released his products in the market, three people were already waiting patiently for him, Maeyd, Jersse and Evan. When the products were released, Evan only bought Rank 3 Bookworms before checking the new products and when he saw the Four Crowned Elental Treehopper, he wanted to buy all of them but seeing the exorbitant price, he bought just one. He also bought ten thousand Rank 1 Woodworms.
Now that he’d bought everything he needed, he checked the new product and read its information.
’What a domineering insect!’ inwardly exclaid Evan but that’s when his father suddenly appeared in front of him with a serious yet anxious expression.
"Buy one of those Rank 3 Aphids! Quick!" ordered his father and Evan bought one very quickly.
...
Maeyd also bought stuff very quickly, he bought all Rank 2 Bookworms and a million Rank 1 Bookworms. As for the Four Crowned Elental Treehopper, he didn’t want it so he didn’t buy any. Then he went to the new product and was as shocked as Evan when he saw it but unlike Evan, he had a lot of money so he imdiately bought all the Rank 2 Life Prolonging Aphids and four Rank 3 Life Prolonging Aphids.
Imdiately after he finished his purchases, a third person bought twelve Rank 3 Life Prolonging Aphids, a Four Crowned Elental Treehopper with the rare Lightning Elent and a million Rank 1 Bookworms.
After this person, more people appeared bought the remaining Rank 1 Bookworms and Rank 1 Aphids. The Rank 3 Aphids were bought in large numbers, mind you, each one costed a hundred million GP. Soone bought soone bought twenty and another person bought fifty. The few that were left were soon bought and just like that, Mr Bug had yet again sold everything in just a few minutes.
...
"Where’s Jas? Soone go and look for Jas!"
"Just what’s wrong with this boy. His father is about to pass away yet he’s nowhere to be seen!"
"Honestly, what good can one expect from a drunkard? All he’s good at is squandering his father’s money. And he’s the reason the Family Head is on his deathbed!"
Many people with major or minor similar features were gathered inside one room where there was what seed to be a dry corpse who was literally just skin and bones. The skin was so dry that you would swear that if you touched it, it would turn to dust. It was quite a horrifying sight to look at but everyone didn’t seem to mind this person’s appearance and were complaining about Jas.
"Jas my boy," the dry corpse began to speak in a hoarse and uncomfortable voice.
"I’ve done everything I could for you my boy but it seems it still wasn’t enough. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you fully awaken your Lightning Elent and I’m sorry for not being there for you when you needed the most and ended being tortured by my enemies for days and even being given the Mana Veins Poison.
I know that you love drinking alcohol to alleviate the pain of the poison that’s fused with your body and still causing unimaginable pain. I’ve failed you as a father and for that, I’m asking for your forgiveness. Jas...Jas...please forgive ..."
"Move out of the way! Move out of the way!" A drunkard entered the room and pushed everyone away.
"You’re too late Jas, your father has already passed away." said soone but the drunkard called Jas didn’t say anything and just pointed to his father the dry corpse.
"Give it to him!"
Twelve tiny green bugs about the size of a fingernail flew towards the dry corpse and landed on it then bit into the dry corpse. As they did so, their bodies began to shrink and shrivelled up until they turned to dust. No one said anything but after the bugs died and still no miracle, they were all disappointed.
"The Family Head had left us. Make funeral arrangents." one of the elderly spoke up and everyone left the room except for Jas.
"Father, I know about the sacrifices you made for . I know that you used so of your Life Essence to help awaken my Lightning Elent. I also know that you sold so of your lifespan to find my location when I was kidnapped. And I know that it took half of your remaining lifespan to force out most of the Mana Veins Poison from my body. Thank you for everything you’ve done for ." said Jas before leaving the room with red eyes.
After Jas left the room, a finger of the dry corpse twitched and was slowly rejuvenating.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
RUMBLE!
Dark clouds ford above the mansion as thunder and lightning rumbled and crackled, scaring everyone.
"What’s going on?!" soone asked.
"Could it be that the world is weeping for the passing of the Family Head, he was the most talented Lightning Mage afterall!"
"I doubt it. Many Mages have died, so more powerful than the Family Head but I’ve never heard of such a phenonon before."
"This phenonon looks familiar, I’m sure I’ve read about it sowhere before!" said an elderly lady with a noble bearings.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
BOOOOM!!!
A lightning bolt struck the mansion, causing the magic formations to activate and cast a barrier that blocked the lightning bolts but the barrier only lasted about five bolts before shattering into tiny fragnts. The lightning bolts then struck the mansion over and over again, causing cracks to appear all over it.
Everyone then ran outside the mansion with terror stricken eyes and pale faces and so didn’t make it out alive. Soon, the mansion completely collapsed and seeing this, many people began to cry. Their Family Head had just passed away and now their ho had also been destroyed, in this mont, even the strongest willed would also cry. Even Jas couldn’t hold back his tears.
"What has the Sizzle Family done to incur such bad luck..." an old man muttered softly. The lightningbolts kept striking down on the sa spot like trying to get rid of an enemy.
"I rember now...I rember now. I read about this in the family archives! Hahaha, this is not a bad on, this is not a bad on! Hahaha, our family has been blessed, our ancestors haven’t forsaken us!"
"Gordon, what nonsense are you spouting! Our ho had just been destroyed together with the Family Head’s body and you’re calling this a blessing. This is bad luck, the worst luck!"
"Hahaha, Crystal, if you consider the birth of an Eight Star Lightning Mage as a bad luck then you’ve completely lost your mind, hahaha!" as soon as Gordon said this, a powerful Aura emanated from the rubble, blasting everything away.
