Chapter 1: Waking to another reality

I woke up in a pretty freezing environment. All around me were nothing but snow and blizzard blasting upon me like i'd woken up in hell.

More so a personal hell friendlier than the smell of ash and dust particles from nuclear fallout.

But also much harsher colds feeling like my body could freeze up on me more sooner than a nuclear winter.

"Sigh this isn't really my lucky day isn't it."I'd talked to myself shivering madly as I get myself up to look for any shelter to not freeze to death you know.

As sure I'd felt death's embrace, a voidless feeling and warmful embrace of it. After all i knew deep down after shit hit the bed.

It was only matter of time till death came for me one way or another a hell of lot quicker a few months into nuclear winter.

Just that no one excepted it to be…

"Shit frostbite."I cursed to myself in two words only as my entire body is freezing up on me a lot more quicker than usual. Just as i was just walking for not only a entire minute and im already getting slower than i already am.

Which is not only bad if im reaching a quicker state of hyperthermia. But i might just freeze to death waist deep into snow.

It sucks to die to quickly waking up to a place I'd don't even know about at all.

But then again thats life i guess.

Sometimes you can die quicker before you'd even-

A screen popped up in front me with a loud-

[Ding] 

[System unlock complete]

[Giving buff Temperature Regulation and Absolute Cold resistance for 10 minutes to the host]

"What." I was confused for a moment on why a screen popped right now as I was-

Before I thought anymore of this my body was getting more warmer than usual almost instantly. Like i was in hot tub or taking a shower felling the warmth of it to the highest degree not feeling hot from it. But feeling alot of warmth just the way the like It.

 "Oh..Damn." I paused for a moment as I know I should be happy if a lifetime wish is given to me. But at the same time you know there is always a risk that I have to take into as well.

Which i would gladly take anyways to achieve my goal of…

Uh should i go for world strongest or uhhhh.

'You know you'll have to become the strongest you can anyways to face any challenges that comes your way either mentally or physically to achieve your goals. So just keep it a simple goal to become the very strongest you like no one ever was for now.'

A thought of my own inner voice told me that i should keep my goal simple and stick to that for now. Which its right to think hell i have issues with multiple inner voices narrating alot or deciding things on the fly randomly. Which is why i tend to think alot or imagine alot of voices in my head randomly from time to time.

But this advice given randomly i decide to take to heart for now and try to become the very strongest I can.

Firstly I need to meditate for a moment since i checked the time and well its.

[Buff time remaining 9 mins and 10 seconds left]

As I crossed my legs and sat down to meditate. I try to feel the air around and my entire body within me. As I breathe in and out and try to experience a similar feeling to when I was half awake but half asleep at the same time. Where sweet marks were upon me on my back to feel the warmth within it where I could comfortably sleep in.But not enough to fully sleep when there were multiple sounds loud enough to wake up.

This time tho its just the wind of the blizzard loudly blowing and brushing me on. That i feel nothing besides the warmth of myself and warm air as a blanket that i'd imagine to sleep in. Then the feeling my whole body relaxed and able to sleep peacefully. Which was easier than i expected to be feeling constant warmth coming on me. Like i could peacefully sleep and die into If I felt like it. But instead I had to calmly keep myself upon a balanced state of focus and relaxed to feel such ki within me.

Which was kinda hard to maintain such a balance to a reach a state of mediation for a few minutes. But once i get into the groove of things, it got easier to feel something that I coming to realize something.

A clarity or sudden nirvana like moment where my body and mind both agree on something in conjunction. A something that is feeling of warmth itself and that made me feel calm and sane at such a moment.

Warmth that made not feel alone but whole without anyone's embance. A feeling of which that I value so much more than anything else. Whenever everything of my problems goes away the moment i feel such a warm feeling of an embrace.

And where i see mental and visual picture within me a flame that burns brightly within my body keeping me warm and feel in place within the environment im in. A embrace of serenity where things goes my way and wave of satisfaction came upon me.

Then the sudden feeling of coldness whenever i get out making me shiver like crazy. But at the same made the negatives of such problems come to light in a way. Where I couldn't just deal with the cold constantly but find a solution to dry myself with. A warm feeling where i shake alot less and where the ice melts into a pool of water within me.

Where the being of my body became the endless sea itself. Full of possibilities and routes i could take endlessly if i choose. Like the vastness of my escapism or the routes where i feel pure bliss upon doing things i hate but then sometimes enjoy the fruits of my efforts.

But of which goes away like the void itself and the pain that comes without pleasure of anything. Where death lies and pain lies ahead time and time again. But this time the death came for me sending me into a void where i couldn't wake up from nor could fully accept each and every pain of regrets.

Pains of such that were mentally affected me.

Pains that affected me physically.

And then the pain of silence for so long that scared me constantly.

But at the same time was comforting that i'd wanted to rest for good.

But didn't want to at all.

But this time i feeling the same thing but much worse of everything.

Every bit of mental pain coming at me like crazy.

Every bit of physical pain coming at me to make me break.

And then silence where i process everything to point i want everything to be over with.

This time tho the silence that came within the void of death itself im feeling now is just warmth.

Warmth that i could rest in without worry at all.

Because the pain can't hurt me anymore.

As when came my way pain was nothing but a an afterthought of just the process of sleeping.

Sleeping to nothingness itself.

To a nothingness of the void that has a warm embrace.

The warmth that i feel even now warping everything around me to form a blanket to finally sleep in.

As I try to sleep a loud notification break me out of my own mediation and domain of visualization.

[If you'd stayed deep into mediation in your void domain any longer you would have instantly been erased out of existence. i.e total death and annihilation.]

"But you know enough chit chat [Status] come out!" I striked a pose pointing at the sky while blizzard blowing harshly by me. Unfazed by the current the snow coming on me that's piling on me real quickly that i just got out of.

"I shouldn't be surprised anymore."Even with my expression being unfazed by it as i see myself becoming insanely overpowered in the future. Hell even a walking cheat able solo most of my favorite verses.

But I should ask about a couple questions at the very least or just 3 in particular.

"If power level exist am I in murim world or am i in Dragon ball universe? And can you tell me how many cultivation ranks there are? And finally why did you limit void ki and void aura? I'll test out the other skills later on or read them later since i got a general idea on what most of them are besides the upgraded ones."

[For your first question your in the Dragon ball universe with a soft power type cultivation system]

[There are 20 cultivation ranks in total. And finally for void aura and void ki there soft limited meaning you can use them past your limit if you want to but i'll explain in two bouts about it]

[For Void ki its limited because of its unique properties of the origin of the void itself. A concept that transcends all concepts of power and the origin of nothingness itself. A concept that can't be called concept nor principle at all just Void itself. A void of which you can access its power to its entirety at a certain point of mastery. But it can also make you into nothingness itself, outright killing you in the process.]

[Hence why you're limited by your own mastery and power of it in a soft locked state in which you can access its power particularly till you understand more about it. But you can still access its full power beyond such limits if you wish to be with a risk of absolute erasure if you want it to be.]

[As for your limits of power it's still by far stronger than most ki types even when it's limited. You can use Void ki for about 2 seconds at a max range of 1 meter or 3.3 feet all around you. Same goes for Void aura as well but if you used them together. It'll only last for 1 second max Morph.]

"Damn that makes sense now. Seems like its more like a ultra cheat of all cheats if used correctly even if its limited by alot. Now i have to get alot stronger to use this move. But for now I should find some shel-"I'd interrupted myself the moment i took one step and was sent flying at faster than 1000 mach speeds in the air as I'd yelled out.

"OH SHITTT!!!" Noticing how fast i was traveling through the snowy environment. I took notice that my perception could keep with my physical body somehow. Even tho this is dragon ball after im used to this sudden speed right away especially beyond mach speeds.

"HOW DO GET THE SKILL FLIGHT?"

[You just feel the ki around you and propel yourself with it in the direction you want to go.]

"You know that would've been helpful if i could-"i'd paused for a moment feeling the ki around me unusually like its natural to feel. And then just like driving like a car more likely a plane but with control of oneself i just flew like a bird.

Free as I can be with the control I naturally gravitate towards. While I already adapted to my own speeds when flying. I'd felt like this is due to one my skills more specifically [Unusual Ki natural] that allowed me to pick it like I'm a competent driver.

Is that right?

[Skill name: Unusual Ki Natural

Info: Your affinity to general ki is heightened to a higher peak than most natural prodigy or monstrous level cultivators. Allowing you learn leagues faster tha most cultivators with ease and pick up the most things like its natural. (New: Learning basic things like flight,or utilizing your own ki in the basic sense is natural instantaneous the moment you realize it) [More info the more you find its limits and uses] 

"I need a basic summary more simplified for me."

[Sure i could do that basically you can learn any ki related technique or gain any type of ki mastery much faster than most cultivators could dream of. Sometimes even instantaneously just from a glance like Jin mori from god of high school or the sharingan mainly towards all ki related moves.]

"That actually makes more sense but is there any quests I could do after I find shelter."As while im flying i'd asked the system since i feel like i could talk with it like a friend even tho it could be anyone or anything really of a sentient being.

[Yes there are alot of quests you can view to complete for rewards. And also finding shelter would actually give a reward since its a quest as well. It's just I didn't want to bother you with it, Morph.]

"Thanks…I never thought you were that considerate like that?"Im actually quite surprised about that more so that i'd didn't even knew systems could do that.

[Well you know most systems are just autonomous or just sentient just limiting you in some way till it doesn't part of the time. But for me, well you can call me Sorven for now. But you should use ki sense real quick for a moment, Morph.] 

"Okayyyy??"I'd answered with a confused look as i was using ki sense like he said. Which came even alot easier than flying currently at mach speeds.

Only to notice an aura lot more stronger than mines. One of which is telling me to instinctively hid or run away from. Not out of fear but in need of survival instinct in a sense. But oddly enough even if my body is hyper aware of such a situation, it oddly calm like the sea itself. A feeling of which that i'd never experienced before in my past life in a high risk situation.

One where i used to felt before when playing videos sometimes throughout my past life.

Where the feeling waves of calmness came through me. With a familiar feeling of the sea of water forming around instinctively like i didn't have to activate anything to do it. Like the warmth of flames forming around me in conjunction with it as if i had experienced using it for all these years.

A with it gave me a understanding that i wanted something new as the aura of powerful enemy coming to me.

[So your going to face it even if you might lose horribly?]

"Yea…I want to see my own limits and break them."A smile formed in my face in the face of battle of life and death.

Where my opponent that i don't know about its features. I'd prepare for with a domain of water unfreezing and moving around like the waves of the sea. Flames of warmth wrapped around and creating a mist of fog around me in the process. The coldness of such a wintery environment and the current ongoing blizzard is being captured straight towards his body as a battery and power level amp to increase his power and might even more than before.

With the final touch creating a imperfect ordinary sword out of ice itself. Holding it aim'd towards his unknown opponent speeding towards him.

To then suddenly break away his ice sword into nothingness itself and purely refines the water towards his hands. The warmth of his flames towards it as well. And the environment around to a limited extent gravitating towards a key point of power. Where infused even my own ki into it to create something similar to a ki sword Aura or attack of my own that i'd named.

"Formless Blade Art: Hollow…STRIKE!!!"
