1 1 The only one...

In a world where Cultivation is a part of almost everyone, there is constant disputes and war.

And as to be expected killed and raped.

Many people Cultivated to achieve heights where no ordinary human could.

And thus many type of Cultivation has been passed down and trained by younger generations. Though old Cultivation has been forgotten due to people who had achieved Immortality taking their knowledge with them, and thus forgotten.

But all of it changed when one man rose up to the Rankings and killed many fabled Cultivators, thus making a change.

Who was this man you ask? Well he is Brenton Black. Brenton Black is strong, but it has not always been like that before he discovered his talent.

Now I will tell you all a story of a once ;Ordinary; Folk turned to a Cultivator.

In a village far away from any huge civilizations, there lived Brenton Black who was bullied for his inability to gather chi properly.

"Cre-ate A BaRri-er A-RoUnd!" Brenton tries to gather chi but failed.

'Sighs "I can feel it! But why is it not listening?" Brenton is unable to breakthrough Normality Period due to his inability to draw in chi towards his body.

And because of that fact he has always been a target for village bullies who had achieved Chi Gathering Period.

A glistening eyes was locked unto Brenton before it had finally made it's move, "Haha, if it isn't Bren-Bren who is as weak as an infant" Brenton's inability to gather chi has of course been spread around the small Village of Hekton, and to make things even harder for Bren who had no Parents growing up, the ones who spreads the rumors were the Adults who unfortunately had no plans to make things easier for Bren.

Bren's Will though, was not wavering as he believed that someday and somewhere he could achieve Chi Gathering Period and finally get out of the abnormality he was in.

Bren came back to his rundown home full of bruises. Yet Bren had a smile on his face, he did truly believe in himself that he could do it despite the hurdles in front of him.

Bren looked at his old shattered mirror and said "Never Waver". Bren had believed in this line that he had created to strengthen his Mentality throughout passing years.

Though what he believed was not necessarily bad, it did create 'False Hope' for Bren who's situation was worser than a dying ant.

Bren then did his normal routine before going to bed. The routine consisted of him exercising his body, practicing Martial Arts And drinking a juice he made to supposedly open his meridians.

After a full course of Routine Bren immediately jumped to his crunky and old bed. After landing upon the base of the bed, Bren's bed had collapsed due to its rustic old wood. 'Hop "aghhh!" Bren's body froze but his mind was still fully functional.

Bren panicked before falling into deep sleep, When been had opened his eyes he was at a dark room filled with nothing. Bren's first thought was that he had been sacrificed, but due to Bren's intuition, Bren figured out where he was. "Ahh! This is my Spirit Core!!...." After making a remark on his situation, Bren was excited.

But that excitement he just had, had just been replaced with confusion. "But where's my Spirit Core?" After Bren spoke, a voice had suddenly spoke to his mind directly. "This is 'Your' Spirit Core" Said the voice who had a reassuring tone.

"Hah?!!" Bren was both excited and confused on what the Voice was and what the Voice meant. "Son Of Darkness, Brenton Black. This is your Spirit Core." Bren's face was alike J*ckie Chan's confused face.

"So...What you mean to say is that this is my Spirit Core and I'm the Son of Darkness?" Bren was intuitive but the problem was that he tends to not trust his intuition despite being bullied due to not trusting his intuition.

"Yes Brenton Black you're the Son of Darkness."The voice disappeared after Bren understood what he was and what Bren was.

"So this means...You are Darkness!!" Bren's intuition hits right upon the fact. But the voice had not been heard by Bren after making his guess.

Suddenly Heaps of knowledge was forced upon the fragile 13 years old brain. The knowledge contained ways and modules on how to Cultivate Black Magic, but despite having knowledge about them only a small amount of knowledge was accessible by Bren.

"What Black Magic?? What is it??" Only a small amount of Explanation was given to Bren, And Bren could only read 1 Module of Cultivation.

The Module's Title was {Gathering Empty Souls To Increase Lifespan} Bren's idea of gathering souls was killing a human to gather lifespan. But the module clearly stated that. To gather souls, visit an area where you would think Souls Residuals would be left, For Ex. Graveyards And a place where a war has broken out.

Bren was relieved to see the word 'Soul Residual' where it meant leftovers of dissipated souls.

After hours of time Bren had spent on the Dark area he was in, he actually felt comfortable for once, it had become Bren's new favorite place. But Bren's body suddenly collapsed and has been forced to sleep.

Bren then woke up in his broken bed, Bren checked to see if he still had the knowledge he had in his Spirit Core's Awakening and, he still had it.

Bren saw a new light of hope in which even though it was weak it still was enough for him to see what he will become.

And Bren then Continued Unto the Local Graveyard to collect The Soul Residuals that was mentioned on the Module.
