Omega Summoner

Chapter 572: Imiter

Imiter noticed that the Djinn looked at him first but just smiled at him. He did not know how to react because he thought that he would be killed by the Djinn since he was a former faceless one. He does not know but the smile he received from the Djinn suddenly made him happy as if he is accepted to live in this world.

”Are you fine?! Can you move? I will heal your wounds so do not move yet.” Lime stated as she used Medium Heal at Imiter. The wound that he received suddenly closed as if it is never there in the first place.

Imiter suddenly realized that his family saw his inhuman side and they might be scared to confront him. He looked at the worried faces of his mother and father from the windows and decided to walk off at the other direction, but his mother suddenly called out to him.

”Imiter! My baby boy!” Imiterʼs mother stated as she ran outside to hug her child.

Imiterʼs father did not speak and just followed his wife while the other two siblings followed and hugged Imiter. The family shared a warm moment with each other while the mother cried her eyes out because of the fear of losing her son. She already cried her eyes out when Imiter got lost in the forest for five days.

”You silly boy! You must run away from danger not towards it. You must promise me to never do that again. Promise me!” Imiterʼs mother stated as she tightly hugged her son as if she never wanted to let her go.

”I need to talk to you, mother and father. I think it is now time that you learn of the truth of what really happened when I went missing for five days.” Imiter stated as both his parents nodded and beckoned everyone to come inside as they are safer there.

”I should excuse myself then. I need to patrol the village in case some monsters are still inside the village hiding.” Lime stated but Imiter stopped her.

”I think that big sister Lime also has a right to know about it since you already know my secret. Can you listen to my story?” Imiter stated.

[You have been given the chance to hear about ʼImiterʼs Story about the Five Missing Daysʼ. Do you want to hear it?]

[Caution: One you hear the story; You will be given a hidden mission connected to the dark god that descended into the mortal plane. You are not able to reject this mission once you have heard of Imiterʼs story. Do you still wish to continue?]

Lime agreed as she cared for Imiter like a little brother and wanted to know the truth of his situation because she wants to help him. She noticed that Imiter Is not like the other kids because he has strong will and an abundance of mana in his body. Even his family knew of that because he was born with that constitution.

”What I am going to tell you about is the truth of what really happened when I went missing. Please do not be shocked with what I am about to say. It would also explain on how I can turn my arms and body into deadly weapons. Please listen carefully as I will only repeat it once since it is very sensitive information.” Imiter stated as he started to recount his story.

The story that he stated started with him and the other kids playing near the river. One of the playmates slipped and fell into the river but Imiter managed to catch the playmate, but it was him that got caught up in the end.

Imiter got swept by the river which the playmates reported to his parents. The river swept him inside the forest where he got captured by slave traders since he washed up where their caravan was resting. The slave traders did not harm him because he became their merchandise that will be sold to an eccentric old man that lived in the depth of the woods.

Along with four other individuals, which he is the youngest as he is the only kid, they got sold to the eccentric old man living in the depths of the forest. When the slave traders left, the old man revealed its true form, and it was none other than a faceless one.

”Possess these bodies and return back to where they came from. You must send back information about where you are staying so that our god will praise us. Rejoice as you will be useful to our god.” The faceless one stated as it left the house since it already done its job.

Hiding in the corner of the room are other faceless ones that possessed the five individuals that are sold. Imiter remembered that he met the faceless one in his subconscious, and they even talked but the faceless one could barely converse except when it praised its dark god.

The faceless ones would target the dark emotions that each individual have so that they can safely eat otherʼs soul. The five faceless ones that inhabited the five sold bodies are actually newborn faceless ones and it is their first feast when it comes to souls.

In the end, the newborn faceless one and Imiter understood each other because of the uniqueness of Imiterʼs constitution. Instead of the faceless one eating Imiterʼs soul, both of them fused into one being that is neither human nor a faceless one. From that day forth, the birth of the very first Metamorph has been established.

The faceless one lost its ties to the dark god it served and gained humanity from Imiter. Imiter then managed to stabilize the mana in his body that should have killed him if he becomes age ten due to mana poisoning. In other words, two different individuals became the salvation of each other.

”That is all that I have to say. If you want me gone because you are afraid of me then I will gladly leave.” Imiter stated but his parents just hugged him tightly.

”No matter what. You are still my son. I am your mother and that will never change.” Imiterʼs mother stated as she hugged her son tightly.

”This is your family son, and we will never abandon you. If you need to move because you might get pursued by those things, then we will gladly move with you. You are my son and that will never change.” Imiterʼs father stated.

Upon hearing the sentiments of the family, Lime could not help but tear up and even Imiter started crying. He finally acted his age which made Lime smile.

”Big Sister Lime, I have a favor. Can you find the hidden place where the demons gather? The faceless ones are afraid of them. If we tell them the way to defeat the enemy of humanity, then they might protect me and my family.” Imiter stated with utmost seriousness.
