1 Transmigrated

Joe Setiawan, age twenty nine years old, and 'was' a genius programmer. He no longer a genius because that night before final exam, his drink was spiked and make him succumbed to his desire and confess his feelings to the campus belle. But that's not all what's happened. When the campus belle reject him in outright manner, he snapped and then pushed by somebody towards the campus belle. When he feels the campus belle body, he loses his mind and try to defile her in front of everybody.

The university then try to cover the incident, but still penalized him and left a stain on his record forever. His scholarship was retracted, and because he is an orphan, he can no longer finish his study. His life was in a mess, it took years for him to fix his life. After many years begging and being a homeless, he finally got a job being an errand boy in a third rate software company.

Because he was a genius, his programming skill was noticed by senior progammer on his company. He instantly promoted to junior programmer and join that senior team. But, there is no free meal on this world. He realized that he was being used by that senior. He painstakingly write program day and night for that senior to take credit and rewarded, meanwhile he got nothing.

Many times he had a thought to sabotage the program, but he remember that if he to that, his life is over. At least, he have something to eat and place to live now. Now, after six-seven years of working, he got plenty of experience and decided to resign and seek a job to a better company. But after he submitted his resignation, that senior approach him and told.him that if he resigned, he will get a poor review on his performance and will contact all software company to not hire him.

He despaired. This day was a unlucky day for him. His painstakingly written code was corrupted. Tomorrow is the deadline for the assignment. Clutching his head, he mumbled "F*ck! Even though i have a backup, but i need to finish it today! Do i have to pull all nighters 3 days in a row?" Joe then stopped mumbling and return to work. Gradually, his visions blurred and he closed his life for eternity...

...

Joe open his eyes slowly and greeted by unfamiliar surrounding. He was laying on top of looks like an altar. He try to sit scanned his surrounding. Stalactites hanging above his head, walls made of rocks, he was sure that he inside some sort of cave. But the odd thing is, he can clearly see the surrounding without needing any light source.

"Master, you awake!" A strange sweet voice was heard from his right. Instinctively, Joe turned his head and shocked of what he saw. "Ghost!!!" He screamed. That ghost frowned and said "Is your head still hurt master? Do you not remember me?". "Wha... Get away! Who is your master?!" Joe tried to run but he felt pain on his head and fell. "Master! Don't move yet! Your spirit injury is not healed yet." That ghost helps me laid on top of the altar and my pain lessened.

"You.. Who are you calling master? And why i am here?" Hearing that, the ghost frowned and said "Master, you really did not remember anything? That bastard Ishmael! He damaged your spirit so badly!" The ghost snapped and rambling about Ishmael. My head still hurting so bad, so i closed my eyes and calmed my mind. My mind is so trance that i didn't realized 1 day was passed just like that. When i opened my eyes, ton of information swarmed to my mind, but my head didn't feel uncomfortable. It was that time i realized that i have tramsigrated.

I'm currently occupying Void Demon body called Joe Septim. Yesterday, Septim family got decimated by Ishmael's family, Razzam family. Razzam family consist of Void Demon too, but Razzam family had lower standing than Septim family. Razzam Family got help from Ishmael friend, Ankou, an one eyed demon specialized in mind attack. His family world's, Harmony Haven World, a mid level world was invaded by Razzam troops. Ankou was swift assassin and killed many Septim high ranking member. Without high ranking member hold the fort, the resistance of lower member was futile.

Joe was the last hope of Septim family and sent to faraway world, Hinterland Eternal World. This low level world originally a gift from his father to his son after his father conquer this world, but that day will never come. His father hope that Joe will revive the glory of Septim and conquer Hinterland Eternal World, so he send a few of his servant to escort Joe. But, his father can no longer hold on and died, so his servant which escorting Joe died too.

The reason demon loved to enslave soul is to accumulate Divinity, the stronger their servant, the stronger they are. Soul servant agreed to be enslaved because their master can provide them resources and safety from demon beast. Demon beast is a creature that feed on soul, so they love to wreak havoc on human world, demon, or angel. When thr master died, the servant too died. That's why demon or angel usually don't easily appear. The woman ghost beside Joe called Carmilla. She is the only servant Joe had. But, she is a support servant, and very weak on top of that. Her power is to posses any inanimate object. His family tried to persuade him to cancel the contract, but he refuses said that she was his first servant.

Because his mind is injured badly, an unfortunate event happened. Joe's soul from

Earth invade his body. If this body is currently at peak, there is no way that Joe' Soul would win. But currently, this body' mind was weak and easily invaded. So, Joe easily occupied this body now and because previous soul was damaged, he only got fragmented memory from this previous soul. One thing that sure that he already accepted his fate now. 'Hey, it's better than my previous life fate at least'.

Joe tried to sit, and he no longer had headache. "Master, are you okay now?" Said Carmilla came out from bracelet i wear. "I am okay. I just need a rest to restore my spirit. My spirit is very low right now, and apparently, my realm returned to Transcend-1. My Divinity also zero." His original realm was Transcend-5, almost reaching Ascended realm. But, power aside, he got no Divinity. The difference between mortal and transcended being is Divinity. Sure, he can easily killed mortal by using mana spell, but he guaranteed to be killed by Transcend-1 using divine spell. This is because Carmilla is very weak, and provide no Divinity for him.

"Sorry, master... I cannot provide you any help..." Carmilla's eyes are wet. If she can cancel the servant contract, she will do so. She don't want to be a burden for his master. "It's okay Carmilla. No ome blames you. This is Razzam family fault." Joe patted her shoulder and console her. "Right! This is their fault! Master, the old master gave this world for you to conquer so we can get our revenge!" Carmilla eye shone and clenched her fist. But, she became dejected again.

"But... How can we conquer this world without soldier?" She dejectedly sat down. Joe look at the bracelet on his arm and asked. "Carmilla, what is this bracelet that you possesed just then?" "Oh, right! Old master said that this spatial bracelet contains family treasure for master!" Carmilla excitedly said. "So, how can i access it?" Joe asked. "Just concentrate your mind on the bracelet, and it will feel your consciousness. Each spatial item has different soul marking." He then tried to concentrate his mind to the bracelet. At first, the bracelet doesn't respond. But, a weak tiny from this body original soul touch the bracelet and dissipated. The bracelet spatial storage appear in Joe's mind. He didn't look at the content but asked Carmilla "So, how do you erase the imprint?" "Umm, when your soul dissipated, the imprint will automatically erased. A normal soul without consciousness would be dissipated in a month time, but a conscious soul can exist for a long time." Carmilla said with weird expression. "Oh, i just casually asking." Joe said without giving much explanation.

He exited the bracelet storage and opened his eye. He feel that his mind right now became clear after the last remnant of previous soul dissipated. So he tried again to access the spatial bracelet, and now he got in on the first try. 'i thought that soul not easily dissipated? Especially transcended soul? But maybe because this body precious soul is severely damaged, and i consume a part of it too.' He shook his head and look what's inside the bracelet.
