Chapter 5: Blood hearts
From that day forward, the head servant began to teach them how to use the force.
Using the force is the basic thing for all Soulbearers, but it is something big and unique for ordinary humans.
They would wake up in the morning, and the head servant would serve them food. Afterwards, it would be training the force from morning until night.
It was a boring subject for the six-year-old Vacuse.
The force itself does not give that much power. It is basically to enhance the body. But then, before the era of Pathways and Soulbearers, force users dominated the world.
But Vacuse did not just relax because using force was something he could do in his dreams. Instead, he even worked harder. There was a technique he found out years later, but it was already too late for him.
It is the technique of forcing the force into the bones to make them stronger. Adults could not use it because their bones had already formed, but for a kid like Vacuse, it was the best way to spend his time.
While others were forcing their bodies to produce the force and enhance their physical attributes, Vacuse was forcing it into his own bones.
A painful process that would leave him soaking in sweat and sometimes make his nose bleed. It left him turning in his bed, but the thought of squeezing his father’s neck and the idea of ruling the House kept him going.
