Soul land: Epic of Heroes

I'm slowly regaining my consciousness by the minute, everything around me is blurry and I cannot seem to react to anything, but that slowly changes. Each second I'm getting back my control and my vision is getting steadier and clearer. Soon enough I can finally process what is going on, I look around and all there seems to be is a void an infinite expanse of white where time and space don't exist. I take a look at myself and everything seems to be... ethereal. I have hands and a body shape but that is all, there is some mist coming out from me but besides that I'm see through and the only visible thing about me is an outline of my figure.

'What happened?' I take a moment to dig through my memories, suddenly everything becomes clear why I'm here.

<Insert generic novel death story that most people skip anyway>

'I see so that is what happened, I'm dead aren't I? And so young as well I only got into high school just recently' I lament my death, But I don't get time for it as something interrupts my moment.

A flash of light appears as a screen forms out of nowhere in front of me.

'Huh what's that?'

<Welcome to the character creation screen!>

<Press next if you want to continue>

<next>

The screen shows.

'Don't tell me it's a reincarnation! Like all of those stories I read!'

I couldn't help but get excited honestly it's like a dream come true, I may be young but I still have a lot of things I would want to redo and stuff I regret not doing. And my household wasn't exactly pleasant honestly I have no wish to still be connected with that place and its residents.

Thinking so I press the next button without much thought.

<Thank you for your cooperation, please create your character.>

A lot of options appear before me, adjusting body shape, creating your face, eye colour, hair colour, gender, height, name and...

'Wait, martial souls? Bloodlines? Background? Time of birth? Place of Birth?'

'The other options are understandable, but martial soul? It's just like in soul land one of my favourite series!'

I'm honestly quite excited, cultivating, becoming a Titled Douluo, adventures. My blood boils just thinking about it!

I took a minute and calm myself down, what I do here will weight on my future in the Douluo star I have to think everything through calmly.

Twenty minutes later...

I got it! I have a plan for my new life and how I'm going to start it, I cannot really plan out everything but I can lay here a foundation to make my future bright!

'For my gender I guess I will go with male, for race human will do.'

'Now for my appearance I have to be careful here, people cannot choose how they will be born but I can right here.'

For my height I will make myself quite short 174 cm will do.

After a few hours of work I was done I had to be careful here didn't want to regret it later.

I made myself look really young even in my thirties but here we will look at my age in my twenties, height obviously 174.

My face look quite young my hair is pretty long tied in a pony tail, its colour is black with a hint of light blue mixed in, it's exactly as how you would imagine an ice as a colour would be, talking about the blue mixed in here of course. Since soul land is a novel written by a Chinese man I want my look to be a thing only possible in manhuas.

My face looks quite young here, the skin is fair and soft, my eyes are light blue mixed with green, and my looks handsome and beautiful at the same time, like it could bewitch a man and woman at the same time. When I said a look only possible in manhuas I meant it, I want it for me to be possible to look both like a girl and boy at the same time, it would just depend on my clothing and hair style, I want it to be clear I am a boy when I want to and make people think I'm a girl when I want to. Why? It's because I always wanted to know how it feels to be a trap, I know it may sound weird but I'm curious it may be my demise in the future but It's a sacrifice I am willing to make.

For my body its looks like one that would fit either a pretty boy or a girl, it looks quite frail and even if I would become a body cultivator that focuses on building muscles it wouldn't show much, it's kind of like strength is hidden in my body and it won't be shown on it no matter what. Yes I made it so to fit my trap look but, it can be also used to make my future opponents drop their guard a bit, so in fact it's strategic, yes, yes and it's totally not an excuse.

That's pretty much it for my look, now comes in the more interesting part martial soul and bloodline, in the time I was pondering what I would do I already long since figured out what I wanted it to be.

My first martial soul would be Ice brush! Like a paintbrush I mean not a hair one. It's a short simple brush a bit longer than what fits in the hand, the handle is light blue and at the bristles tip there is a bit of ice element constantly being generated in small amounts giving it a look like its frozen.

I know it's a bit plain but I actually have it all planned out I want my martial soul to flourish after their second awakening, so I will have to join both the body sect and tang sect I will do it somehow! Wulin did it so can I!

My second martial soul is water pen! In length it's the same as the Ice brush, it has a simple look as well the handle is a deep blue slightly dark colour, the tip of it has the colour of iron with a hint of blue. Inside of it like ink flows liquefied water element, you can see a bit of it in its nib.

Same with here my second martial soul awakening is needed for it to display it's power and how it will look, Hehe I will keep that a secret.

My third martial soul is Spirit Eyes! The same as Huo Yuhao has, yes you heard it right third martial soul, surprisingly it allowed me to choose up to 4 so I did, oh right I designed my first, second and fourth martial souls and their second awakenings.

For my third martial souls second awakening it's not really hard to figure out, it's also the same as Huo Yuhao Polycoria Eyes, I know it may sound unoriginal but I choose it for a reason, it's for my spirit cultivation to be easier, since my first two martial souls are elemental based my spirit power will be extremely important in cultivating it, it will deepen my perception of elements, and that in turn deepens my understanding of my two martial soul, which in turn will make manifesting my soul core and my elemental soul core easier in the future. As you can see I'm thinking quite far ahead.

Okay that is quite enough teasing for my fourth martial soul, honestly while being quite a fan of Tang Jia San Shao works, I'm also quite a fan of the fate series and so my fourth martial soul is based on fate, and it's name is Caliburn, The Golden Sword of the Victorious! You can probably guess what it's second awakening is but I still won't spoil anything!

Now that covers my martial souls It's time for my bloodline, as of soul land 3 it was revealed that to have a good spirit soul you need a strong bloodline to nourish it, and strong spiritual power to fuse with a good one. So I didn't slack off on this front.

For my first one it's Ice Phoenix Empress bloodline, I have no idea if it exists but all I know is that it doesn't have to I created it so it all that matters, well it's what it says it is a Phoenix bloodline, it grants me affinity for Ice and Yin elements, plus easier increase in spiritual power. I would probably be also able to make some self created soul skills thanks to this bloodline as it increases in purity but that is pretty much it. As for why a Phoenix well I will explain it later don't want to spoil my plans for the future.

Now my second bloodline, I kind of also based it on fate, It's name is hero's bloodline, I know not really creative name but it's hard to come up with something good. Its connected to my Caliburn martial soul, as my soul rank and bloodline improves it will grant and upgrade in age soul rings to it, kind of like Xuanyu. For other effects it increases my luck and fortune, passively and actively compresses my soul power, gives my stronger physique and nourishes my body, filters out impurities, and nourishes other bloodlines, makes me more brave and courageous, makes upgrading spiritual power easier, protects from intimidation. And it's a nemesis of evil things and monsters, so it empowers me and weakens my enemies if they are evil basically. It will also make me possible to have some blood essence skill but that depends on me if I get them.

That's it for the bloodlines, let's move to physiques they are nothing interesting.

The first one is Heroic Physique it's a by-product of my Hero's bloodline.

The next one is True Yin attribute affinity Physique it's also a by-product of my Ice Phoenix Empress bloodline.

Now for the finishing touches Background, I choose to be a second son of a fairly rich family, and I was born on the Douluo continent.

Now for my name, most Chinese authors mix words to make names so I thought I would do the same, thankfully this creator had a translator so since I'm destined to be a hero and will definitely have good fortune, I took the word heroic and fortune and translated them, what came out was Yingyong Caifu, I thought it sounds pretty weird so I messed around with the symbols and ended up with Cai Yingfu, it sounded better in my opinion and doesn't really seem to translate to anything so Cai Yingfu is my name from now on.

Now that everything is set it's time to reincarnate, steeling my nerves and cementing my determination and choices I make the command.

"Reincarnate me in Huo Yuhao's era"

As soon as I said it everything around me started to twist and disappear the last thing I saw before drifting off into a deep sleep was the cold screen.

<We thank you for your participation you are now getting reincarnated.>

And then everything cut off.
