Lucien was very eager to study his RC Cells. They were the foundation of the ghoul's power. RC Cells were flowing like blood inside his blood circulation system. They were not merged with his body, so Lucien was wondering what would happen if he tried to fuse them with his body. He theorized that it would make his body much stronger.

Lucien theorized that this would not only make his physique stronger but also more stable. Still, increasing RC Level was an arduous process and very hard to achieve. He may spend years increasing his RC Level to the designed amount. Still, if he achieved the first state of evolution, it would be a permanent buff-like state.

To reach 1st-Star, he needed to accumulate 2,000 RC Level. If he fused it, he would instantly be as strong as the C-Rank standard. Thought through the Star RC Fusion method, it was a more passive boost so that he would be much stronger than the average C-Rank Ghoul.

The RC Level of 1,000 was the average of an ordinary ghoul. Of course, there existed even ghouls with higher levels of the RC Level. The highest level ever achieved was 10,181, though it was not through natural means.

Only one person in the original story achieved this feat, and his name was Kotarou Amon, after being experimented on by Dr. Kanou. He reached the RC Level of 10,181.

He was an extremely talented Ghoul Investigator and fighter, and after his capture by Aoigiri Tree, he was given to Dr. Kanou. One of sixty-three investigators subjected to the ghoulification process, he was considered as a failed specimen cause of his high RC Level.

But from an ordinary human with a trained body, he gained a physique and abilities much stronger and more potent compared to other natural-born ghouls. He was a literary superhuman even among ghouls.

For now, Lucien had only one goal, and that was an increase in his RC Level. He knew that he must eat stronger ghouls or demons. Now he only got some weaker ghouls because his body might not be able to handle the devouring of ghouls above S Rank.

=============================================

Lucien was currently with his mother as she was teaching him some basics of their history and political situation in the world. His mother was giving massive weight to his education in the history of the world and the history of races like ghouls, vampires, and others.

Another lesson was training in Kenjutsu. His mother has agreed to teach him the basics of Kenjutsu because of Lucien's non-ending pleading. She couldn't say no to her beloved son, and he couldn't learn how to fight with his Kagune as he still hadn't awakened his Kagune.

She was very talented in the way of the sword and was probably one of the best in the world if you cast aside those old monsters who trained in Kenjutsu their entire life. He already knew that his Kagune was of Rinkaku Type, so he wanted to create Kagune like Kamishiro Rize. Her Kagune was extremely powerful and beautiful too.

"Mother, when will I awaken my Kagune?"

Asked Lucien, his mother, who was holding a book in her hands as she was reading something about history to Lucien. His mother, Selene stopped reading and looked at her son with a sigh.

"When you reach RC Level around 800 to 1,000, you will certainly awaken. So be a good boy and eat a lot of demons and ghouls to increase your RC Level. Then you could learn how to fight with your Kagune."

Said his mother with a smile, and then she kissed his forehead. Lucien was very eager to learn how to fight using his Kagune. The reason why most ghouls were killed despite being much stronger physically was that they only used brutal force during the fight. They had no fighting style or something similar. They just smashed everything around them with Kagune or their body and called it a day.

Compared to them, investigators of CCG were much more trained and were better combatants despite their lower physical strength.

"Mother, when could I leave our mansion and go tour Island?"

Currently, Lucien was forbidden from leaving the mansion of Aeon House. The reason was that he was too weak, and danger was lurking everywhere on Blood Island. Demons that escaped hell or some mutated beasts were everywhere.

"As your father said. When will you have Kagune, you could go tour surrounding parts of the Island but only with guards that your father will arrange."

Lucien only nodded his head obediently in approval. He knew that his parents wouldn't let him go out of guarded territory because of danger. So he must get stronger faster, and he will be able to explore the Island.

Another four years went by as water and many changed. Lucien had already awakened his Kagune and had exactly the same Kagune as Kamishiro Rize. He had four beautiful tails from his waist in black and red color.

He even almost reached the threshold of 1,000 RC Level, so only a little time was needed to reach the criterium set by his father, and he could already start learning how to fight using Kagune.

=============================================

In the study room

Asmodeus was sitting behind the giant wooden table, and the old butler was reporting to him.

"My lord, there is an invitation from Washuu Clan to visit their residence. I believe they wish to consult something rather important."

Washuu Clan was the ancient clan of ghouls in Japan. They were the ruling force in Japan, and even though they were weaker than Aeon House, they still had a rich history and were the ruling authority. Ironically they created CCG to fight against other ghouls.

"I will visit them at a later date. I will take Lucien with me as I probably know what they want."

Said Asmodeus to the old butler, who nodded in agreement.
