1 chapter 1 // SOUL System {active}
"Break my bones, tear my flesh and poison my blood, BUT THAT WON'T STOP ME!!!"
A heroic cry erupted from a swarm of odd and bizarre creatures; each one the size of cow at smallest, and an elephant at greatest, all of whom crowding around a single figure. From the heart of the chaotic horde; a slightly toned young man swung a golden Claymore, ordained in crystals and gems; the behemoth had a width of a man's chest, the ornate Claymore caked in Bagasse blood.
Suddenly a colossal paw descended from the heavens, dwarfing the Bagasse horde; "ROAR!!!" The beast was cross between a bear and a horse. The bizarre creature was a dominant existence, although bizarre the monstrosity could install a primal fear in the hearts of man; the teen however seemed excited, his blood seemed to boil in his youthful vigour, attacking before noticed - the teen casually jumped, reaching a height well over 15 meters in a single breath. Raising his blade in an attacking motion, about to execute the gargantuan beast. The teen was suddenly sent flying into the horde by an unexplainable force.
"uufff! ...Ow..."
Rubbing his cheek, Su Jiang finally saw the culprit behind his sudden assault.
"Brother, how dare you sleep through BingBing's recital!" Su BingBing; Su Jiang's younger sister.
Fearing the wrath of his adorable assailant - Su Jiang immediately scrambled to defend himself.
"No-no-no-no-no, Bing'er, you misunderstood. Your older brother would never sleep through such a wonderful violin recital. I-I was just savouring the song." Su Jiang avoided Su BingBing's piercing gaze, searching for the truth. Su Jiang's face started to turn a flustered cherry red, sweet pouring out of his body like the three gorges.
Su BingBing knew Su Jiang was too suspicious; however finding no malicious intent, Su BingBing's gaze softened.
"Humph, I'll forgive brother - if you take BingBing to get ice cream, after the school concert. Do you promise?" Su BingBing looked into Su Jiang's eyes expectantly.
"Okay. I'll clear out my work schedule for that day, just tell me a week in advance."
"Yay" Su BingBing giggled in absolute victory - running up to Su Jiang and hugged him.
Su Jiang gladly picked up Su BingBing.
"Anyway, I going to my room. Work tomorrow, gotta get some sleep, and speaking of which it is time for you to go to bed."
"Borther noooo~. It's not even nine yet."
The cute little pixie softly tried to escape his grasp.
Within his room, Su Jiang took a heavily used watch like device from his pillow - the watch is a SOUL System; the Strength Optimizing Update Link System. The SOUL System was the brain child of the Rheas Ordinate, the world's greatest minds and bodies in the fields of both science and martial arts; only through the SOUL System could man unleash their truest potential.
Su Jiang hesitantly strapped the SOUL System on to his left arm and flipped a green switch on the SOUL System activating it. Suddenly a soft voice chimes in:
"Greetings potential master, SOUL System 3626 active, all systems are within acceptable parameters."
"Finally fours years of dumpster diving and tinkering paid off. Four years of grinding tooth and bone; day in and day out, fixing and braking countless pieces of scrap just to be insulted by my "peers". So what if I'm not rich; so what if I don't have strong backers, I am Su Jiang and I will become a legend! No more 'trash rat Jiang'. I'll show them trash." Su Jiang whispered with a relieved voice as tears start to stream silently down his cheeks."
"Would you like to assign unit 3626 to your soul flux frequency [Y/N]"
Flabbergasted Su Jiang could not believe his sub-par repairs worked. Not wanting to waste the God given opportunity Su Jiang screamed his approval.
"Yes yes, a thousand times yes!"
Apon saying yes, Su Jiang could feel something coming in contact with his consciousness.
Realising the situation at hand, Su Jiang quickly covered his mouth, praying he didn't wake Su BingBing.
As Su Jiang was relishing in his awkward mix of fear and excitement; the SOUL System began to flash randomly with strange and vibrant colours.
"P/ue@iru*nt master status {#%>¥¶∆%°} w-would yo-u li*e to activ@e save £@%©¢^ [Y/N]
{SOUL_FLUX_FREQUENCY RESONANCE(2.625%)}"
"What?" Su Jiang did not understand what the SOUL System was asking, fearing the worst - Su Jiang attempted to Flick the green switch,to deactivate the faulty device.
"Confirmation received: Initiating system reboot
~×∆¶∆∆~•*¶
mass file corruption...
Initializing full system reset
[WARNING_SOUL FLUX FREQUENCY RESONANCE (4.5%) INCOMPLETE] Permission to run both programs simultaneously [Y/N]"
"What's happening?!"
Su Jiang's voice trembled in fear as the pleasant sensation within his consciousness became aggressive, ravaging not only his mind but now his body; the physical sensation was like being left to burn in a super - nova, whilst being crushed by the endless gravity of a black hole. Whilst the mental ordeal was worse, the bone chilling arcs of lightning was surging through Su Jiang's mind, rip roaring through his veins, arteries and nerves. Su Jiang was paralyzed, a prisoner to the SOUL System; incapable of doing anything more than breath, Su Jiang was on the verge of loosing his mind.
