1 The Beginning

*BANG*

*TIP*

*LASH*

*SLASH*

*SLOSH*

"Sounds of a thing entering something wet."

*SLOOSH-SLOOSH*

[WILL YOU STOP THAT. IT HAS BEEN TWO HOURS, TWO WHOLE HOURS THAT YOU ARE MAKING THOSE INDECENT NOISES.]

"So you can talk?"

"Huh, and here I thought you were mute."

*Chuckles*

[DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?]

"I don't."

[I CAN READ YOUR MIND.]

"I do."

[YOU DO CHANGE YOUR WORDS FAST.]

"So, why am I here?"

[YOU ARE DEAD.]

"I know."

"I was alive at that moment and enjoying it."

[YOU ARE SICK.]

"I know... Get to the point."

"Give me my gifts and let me choose my world and all."

"And also don't forget to give me the right to customize my powers."

[I THINK YOU ARE GETTING SOMETHING WRONG HERE]

"Why?"

"I am dead, right?"

"In front of 'GOD', right?"

"Then according to those novels should I not get the prize or whatever it is for me being here?"

[GOD? WELL, LET ME FIRST CANCEL THIS VOICE EFFECT. So, how is this module kid?]

"So that's why your voice was like ever-present, like it was coming from everywhere."

[Yeah, it was. Now, returning to our previous topic, this here, is the punishment hall. Here those that committed great crimes are punished.]

"So WHY am I here?"

[You do know the reason.]

"But.... "

[No buts.]

[Henceforth you are punished to banishment to another world. One that you find as a nightmare.]

"But how can you..."

*Whoosh*

[Cuz I can.]

Douluo continent

Glorybound city

"Huh, where am I?"

[ Glorybound City was a small town sitting on the border between the ocean and the eastern coast of the Sun Moon Federation.

Today was an exceptionally bustling day in the city, it was the annual Awakening Day.

All of the people residing upon the Douluo Continent possessed something called a "martial soul." The martial soul was a part of the body which could be awakened when they became six years old, regardless of whether they were animals or plants. Through the means of an awakening ceremony, they were able to awaken their own martial soul. This was precisely the purpose of the annual Awakening Day, to awaken their martial souls...]

"My memories... What in the world?", murmured a slightly tanned six year old boy.

"Why are these texts coming into my eyes? These sentences, I have seen them before."

Why can't I properly remember things?

"No, no, no no no, why this world? Why?"

This is the world of Douluo Dalu, also called Soul Land. One of the novels I hated to the bone.

[I hated many things so why this in particular?]

The bracketed lines that seemed to float in front of my vision were the opening intro from the first chapter of the third series. The one that I hated the most.

"Get going child, there are other people behind you," someone said to me(?).

From the situation of my surroundings, looks like I am attending my Martial Soul awakening ceremony.

'Not looks like. I am attending my martial soul awakening.'

With a double assurance, I followed behind the person who asked me to hurry up.

'Don't be something good , please don't be something good,' I thought to myself. Even muttered it slowly, unknowingly.

I seriously don't care about the martial soul power gig. I like to avoid conflict as much as I can. That is why, I don't want to have any Soul Power.

To add more to the backstory I was a forest keeper. Also animals right protection and conservation member[self-proclaimed].

I love them, love animals and loved the nature. I even became a Pure vegetarian because of this... partially because of this.

[Those were the days!]

...

After completing the awakening of yet another child , the Spirit Master looked towards the next child.

The kid was murmuring,' don't be, please don't be.' With a face that was pretty much a childish horror. He hadn't seen this sight of freight in a long time.

The child looked traumatized!

He gently called the kid. The kid was stunned when he called for him. He must be under great pressure, or lost in thoughts of his previous life, who knows?

...

"It's your turn little child, come forward." Said the awakener, disrupting my calm thoughts. Back was I into the world again, unable to deny it.

I went to the circle where he started the ceremony.

I suddenly felt a weird sensation like my body was thoroughly full, the same feeling a person feels just before ejaculation.

And then the feeling was over in just a few seconds.

'that's it, I haven't even enjoyed it enough. It's not even ten seconds'

[This should have been a pretty clear sign that my memories weren't the only thing I was missing.]

Those novels were a lie, what a load on nonsense. What bone chilling pain? What sudden sense of power? I feel nothing new, just refreshed for a few seconds, that's all. Heck I would have been more refreshed while drinking orange juice!!!

...

But the Spirit Awakener didn't seem to feel the child's raging emotions. All his sight was fixed to the innate soul power rating of the child.

He was pleasantly surprised, this was a martial soul with soul power! Most of the time, he could conduct the ceremony for days without encountering a child with soul power. It would seem that today's luck was pretty good for him. The only question was: what was the martial soul that produced this innate soul power?

...

A blue looking beautiful grass was on my right hand. It was beautiful. I have seen many different grassy plants but this easily ranks no. 15 on the list. It was really beautiful and If not for the fact that my poetic vocabulary was pretty deranged, I would have thought a better description of this beautiful plant.

For I knew what it was the moment I saw it. It was the Blue silver grass. The proclaimed trash martial soul.

Don't look at people like Tang San and Tang Wulin, they were protagonists with their protagonist boosts.

Even Tang Ya who awakened with innate soul power level 7 became trash because of it.

[read Douluo Dalu 2 for more information]

So good. So happy. I am so happy I am shivering cuz of it.

The Spirit Master sighed. Once again a boy's dream got crushed. He has seen this seen many times but this scene still made him sad.

'Why is the heaven being cruel to a such a traumatized looking child.'

'Look the kid is even crying. So pitiful.' the spirit master thought while thinking about the future prospects.

Nowadays even people with trash martial soul has a chance to get enlisted in the mecha corps. But a Blue silver grass. What a waste!

Even though he hadn't properly studied spirit beasts before, he still had some common knowledge. Naturally, he knew that Bluesilver Grass was a type of trash martial soul. Furthermore, it was the worst trash of them all.

"Child, don't be sad. You possess soul power." The Spirit Master hastily said.

"I, I have soul power?" I met his words with a look of astonishment. Gone were the happiness that I felt, as if someone drained in out of me. The look of horror returned to my eyes as a piece of information was remembered.

The Spirit Master didn't seem to see my pitiful eyes full of despair. He just nodded in response. "After I tested it, you actually have rank 2 innate soul power. Although it can't be considered amazing, it still means that you possess soul power. As long as you put in great effort, then you will be able to become a Soul Master too!"

Just when he said it, as if on cue, a new message appeared in my vision.

[ A message from God.

Kid, you have committed grave sins and banishment to this world is your punishment but as you also helped in doing good deeds when you committed your sins. So we have prepared a gift for you. You have been given Petrosapiens power. It will be unlocked and merged with your current martial soul during the moment of awakening while each spirit ring will unlock the abilities of the Petrosapien. Hence your two innate Soul power.

Goodbye and I wish you a happy life. From God once again to remind you.]

I...

I... want to swear, even though I promised not too.

I went out.

I need to find a quiet location to vent my anger.

*In an abandoned place*

A boy was spouting various vulgarities to God.

"Why, why are you doing this to me?"

"I just killed a few people, 735 to be precise."

"But they all did things that were worth death."

"I have never killed any innocent, all those who were killed by me were Poachers, so why."

[This was another clear sign that I seem to have forgotten a lot of things... but my memories how were I to know?]

"Why bring me to this world where the only way to become stronger was to kill those innocent beasts."

Why, why, why?

I need answers. Give it to me.

I sreamed at the top of my lungs. I don't need this world, I don't want it.

Suddenly I heard meowing from a place. There was a little kitten meowing at me. It was baring its little fangs at me.

No matter which world, animals calm me down, just like her.

The kitten went to her kindle after a few minutes of blaring at me. Looks like they live somewhere close.

Now what should I do. Let's try to erase my emotions for a few minutes.

Well

Finding out where am I would be the first priority and then at which period.

Those sentences were from the third series: The Legend of the Dragon king. So either I am on the same time period or a few years ago or a few years ahead of that incident.

And I also have to check at where I am. And finally I need to know about this body's past and his relatives.

And then have to find out what is a Petrosapien.

I have a rough life ahead huh. And now I just need to decide which path should I take, to be a Spirit Master or to live a normal life which I am pretty sure won't be possible due to my Innate soul power.
