2 Darkness and Rebirth

Many people have said there is always light at the end of the darkness but all I can see is darkness.

Me:'This is stupid. Why would souls have to watch their entire life after death?'

As I was going through all the memories I remembered all the childhood fantasy's I had reading the manga's and novels back then. As I was thinking I heard a voice.

???:"That is a good question BOII."(God Of War??)

Me:"Well at-least you talked to me after I reviewed my memories. I am Zen Hiroshi. Who might you be??Kratos??"

???:"No BOI I am the Empty where everything starts and everything ends where there is no beginning nor end where concepts start and finish. This is my home.And you BOI are a guest."

Me:"Huh I thought I would legit go to hell. It is quite the surprise Lord Empty.Why have you graced me with your presence?"

Empty:"Well you are a peculiar thing aren't you? Sugarcoating me, well whatever I already liked you as is. I wanted you to be someone who would be my apostle as you are the closest thing to me."

Me:"Well what do I have to do? Serve you for all eternity?"

Empty:"No I want you to grow strong and help me elevate this boredom while doing that."

Me:"So this is like those Isekai moments. I'll take it."

Empty:"I will give you 2 powers and your memory intact so you can do better."

Me:"Only 2 why not like I don't appreciate it."

Empty:"the 2 powers I will be giving you will make you strong if used well. I have a sneaking suspicion you will do just that."

Me:"Sure whats the power?"

Empty:"Upgrade and Steal"

Me:"OK, I now know what you mean. Any limitation to be wary of while using these powers Lord Empty?"

Empty:"Only stamina will be exhausted while using these powers. While you are in one world after being stronger you can request me to send you to another world and it is going to be random."

Me:"Yes Lord Empty, What about my body?"

Empty:"You will start at the age of 5 in each world I send you in. You will also get a small soul world the 1/10 size of the moon but it will only be accessible when you become the strongest. Now go adventure and power awaits you."

When Empty said that I was again surrounded by darkness but only for about 5 seconds then I could see lush green forest,huge trees, animals roaming around. I was on a beach but where was I is the real question here.

So I did what was the most logical thing to do I thought would be to take. I would steal. Many people don't know but steal is not only used for objects from other people. In many manga's or anime's the description of steal is /can take anything from the opponent/. Do you understand what that means that means anything weapons, clothes, organs, skills, knowledge, powers, behavior trait,etc meaning it has no limit. The others just downgrade this ability too much.

I thought of what to do so I made a list of all the thing i will need first.

1.Knowledge, I don't know where I am but if I steal the knowledge from an animal I wont get much.

2.Stamina, Using the powers will take stamina so I need to steal stamina while being safe from animals and others.

3.Power, Only these 2 powers will not be enough I need to have more in my arsenal to have advantage over everyone.

After making this list I went to find a place to live while I am on this place. I found a tree with a hollow in it. I cleaned the inside with leaves and covered the entrance with thick branches that I could handle.

I searched for any thing to eat and drink. I found apples and bananas that were just ripe for the taking. I also found a rabbit so I tried taking its stamina and it worked the rabbit slumped down tired and I felt rejuvenated i stole its leg power that i felt tired as well not wanting to be helpless all of a sudden i grabbed the rabbit and went to the hollow tree(HT) ate the fruits and grilled the rabbit and slept for the day.

Having slept soundly I woke up early. I felt the power in my legs. To test it out I went to the beach and jumped straight up a good 20 feet. This would be helpful in the future. I climbed the tree i was living and jumped from the top to see the place where I can find civilization but all I saw was forest and the sea. I concluded I was on an island and there was no humans here.

I went back to hunting and stealing stamina and abilities.

Testing out the powers I tested how much time it would take for a power to assimilate. It was fast like when I stole the stamina of the rabbit it came to be as soon as I did it. the upgrade however was time consuming. It would normally take 3 hours to upgrade any ability.

I upgraded the power of the bunny any was able to jump about 50 feet in the air.

I stole some powers from other animals as well like got the ability to breath under water from a fish, Insane stamina and climbing ability from a monkey, birds eye perception from the seagulls. I also tried to get the knowledge from the birds and found out that there was a shipwreck at least 5 km east.

I went there and found the ship with skeletons littered on the beach. I went to the ship and went inside it. It was an old Victorian stile ship with sails, nest and all that. There were notes and maps there but most were decayed. I found a map in relatively good condition and read the description. It said"West Blue".
