Soul Stone And The Voodoo Doll

[Note: Frost Jade Ghost Technique requires 3 skill points]

[Do you wish to learn this skill?]

[Yes/No?]

There was no pause nor were there hesitation in Alvian's actions. He chose yes.

This was a precious inner force skill. If news of it was released on earth, there is no doubt that its going to cause a world war with various countries wishing to grab a hold of the manual.

Naturally, Alvian wouldn't hesitate to learn the skill.

[Error code S52-0J (FORBIDDEN)]

[Request denied. Technique incompatible with the host, please select a different technique ]

[Spend 1000 basic points to find out more information.]

[Accept / Decline?]

Alvian froze and a frown formed on his face seeing the information shout the skill incompatible with him pop up before him. He had a vague idea about as to why it was so, but he hadn't think it would be what he feared and it had truly affected his learning of the technique.

"Accept."

[Note: The Frost Jade technique contains and requires a massive amount of Yin energy. The male body consist of massive yang energy and little yin energy.

The amount of yin energy required cannot be found within the male body. With the Outburst attribute, host's yang energy has increased even more, higher than an average humans' thereby making the host very unsuitable to practice most inner qi technique with yin attribute.]

[Forcefully practicing the technique might result to devastating repercussions such as injury, Qi deviation and in most cases death. While a light injury might result in gender transitioning.]

Alvian's expression darkened slightly. He couldn't be really bothered with the first few sentences, but the last one sort of left him having goosebumps. Shuddering slightly, he threw the thought immediately to the back of his mind.

Alvian breathed roughly and kept manual carefully in his inner chest pocket. Then he proceeded to pick up the sinister little doll on his bed. The doll was very little, but it was sizable enough for little children to play with. it had a sinister outlook and it's two eyes seem to have been plucked out, revealing a sort of bloody tissue underneath.

One arm of the doll had been ripped off while one ear had also been cut off. Not to mention it only had one leg too, with a tiny needle piercing through it's abdomen.

There were multiple stitches on the face of the doll making it look alarmingly eerie!

Information about the doll immediately popped up before Alvian.

[Affliction : When skill is activated, 10 willpower is deducted. The target would be afflicted by the exact curse.]

Alvian brows furrowed. He gazed intently at the skill information. It stated that the target would be afflicted by the exact curse, but how exactly do one active the curse?

No information about instructions on how to use the dolls were stated. The information on the skill panel was also very vague. But he didn't want to take it lightly since the systems remark appeared to have indicated the hidden potential of the doll.

Therefore, Alvian kept the doll to himself. Although it was pretty much useless to him since he only had a vague idea about how to use it, it could come to use some point in time.

There was only one thing left on his bed from the items dropped off the ghost he had killed. It was a tiny stone that was the size of the fingernail in the pinky.

[Soul Stone(Rare)]

[Information: Souls are regarded as the spiritual and immaterial part of the human body. Souls are said to be immortal and are unable to stay in the material plane, but some souls defy this natural order due to an excessive obsession, remaining in the material plane, hence becoming cursed ghosts in the process.

Once this cursed ghost is destroyed, there is a chance that they might drop soul stones.]

[Uses: Improves the users will power and perception at random.]

Pa!

Suddenly the soul stone shattered into multiple pieces. It immediately disintegrated into dust and flowed out from within Alvian's balled fist to the ground like white ash.

In that moment, an eery looking white smoke rose up from within his palms and swiftly entered into Alvian's nostrils and ears. It was as though the smoke had sentience of its own as it headed into his noses and ears.

Alvian didn't panic. He let the smoke flowed into his body and he felt a cooling sensation right at the center of his brain. It was as if there was a cool breeze been directed at the interior of his brain.

But this cooling sensation only lasted for five seconds before it faded into nothingness. A system notification soon popped up.

[Will power +3]

Alvian saw the message and bidded his head in satisfaction. He now knew how precious the soul stones were. He had some thoughts about selling the stone before, but now he knew how precious the stone is, there was no way he would sell them for mere basic points.

Checking his biodata again, it's attributes had improved by a bit. He had grown stronger again.

This was the first time he had seen something apart from his normal biodata. He could feel condition, fully aware the information on the panel was correct. He had been injured, but with the herbs the Physician had placed all over his body, his injuries were rapidly healing.
