chapter 2

Mark found himself in a large clearing stretching beyond the horizon.

The sky was a blood red colour without the presence of the moon or sun, but it was still strangely bright.

[Host! Prepare for your first trial...

First trial will be a survival quest... Survive the three waves of nightmare creatures and you will complete the trial. First wave will commence in 5 minutes...]

'so I think am in shadow slave...I just hope am in the same timeline with sunny and the rest' Mark thought.

Focusing on the word 'status', he decided to check his attributes.

" So I reincarnated into the body of a fourteen year old, am something called a Skarlov but possess the bloodline of a Saiyan and have a second aspect...System why do I have 2 aspects and why can't I see what it is?"

[ One of aspects was meant to be for the boy the Host reincarnated into, Host will get to see his aspect when he finishes the first trial...you can draw something in the lucky draw to help you clear the trial].

[The rank of things you can draw are as follows: dormant, awakened, ascended, transcended, supreme, sacred, divine and mythical] System.

"Ok system, give me the lucky draw."

[Draw commencing.....]

That was when a card facing backwards suddenly appeared in front of Mark. It quickly switched to facing forward revealing what seemed like a human cell with the nucleus glowing a bright golden colour.

[You have acquired a supreme technique: cellular cosmology...

Description: Every atom has the primitive power of a universe in it's molecules. Harness the nuclear force of the atom to your advantage].

All of a sudden, Mark felt a strange but powerful force radiating from every cell in his body. He tried to channel that energy and let it flow to surround his body and soon he was enveloped with a faint golden aura. He felt like his physical prowess had multiplied several fold.

"This is freakin awesome!!...I am ready for the first wave now." Mark said excitedly as he relished in his new found ability.

[First wave begins in 5...4...3...2...1]

Nightmare creatures that looked like goblins started appearing out of nowhere. Using the [eye of truth, Mark found out that most of them were merely dormant beast with a few monsters.

The first beast to lunge at him quickly met it's end when his first crashed heavily into its head.

"Huh, It's that easy?... I was kind of expecting more" Mark said arrogantly.

What he didn't know was that his current battle prowess is as a result of his [superhuman]+[cellular cosmology]+[martial arts master]+[Saiyan bloodline]. This attributes and ability gave him a significant advantage without even the use of his aspects.

And just like that, a massacre unfolded on the scene. Mark instantly became a killing machine that utterly decimated his opponents.

He rarely got injured during the first and the second wave, but he got gravely injured during the third wave when he had to fight an awakened terror.

(one class above the one sunny killed in his first nightmare).

But thanks to his (Skarlov), he regenerated and killed the terror.

In the centre of the battlefield surrounded by piles of corpses, a lone figure stood with blood smeared all over his body.

He seemed to be staring at the empty space but in reality he was looking at his system.

[Wake up aspirant Your nightmare is over]

[Prepare for appraisal...]

Mark found himself in a place that was in the border of dream and reality. It was an endless black void illuminated by a myriad of stars. Between those stars, countless strings were woven into beautiful and complex nets.

"So this is the inner workings of the nightmare spell huh... I must say that the novel's description didn't do it any justice."

[You have received a memory: void ring]

[You have received a memory: knights shield]

[Host! Your trial is over]

[A sick boy narrowly escaped from certain doom and ended up in a different world. He slayed countless beasts on his path and not only survived the waves but thrived in it]

"Yes!!! Let's goooooo!!" Mark said excitedly while pumping his fists.

[You are ready to receive your two aspects]

[Aspect received...]

[1st aspect: Ice calamity]

[Rank: divine]

[2nd aspect: Haki!!]

[Rank: mythical]

"Ok Mark....calm down, let's check out the twin aspects first]

"Looks like my harvest is bountiful this time around" Mark said while barely managing to contain his grin.

"System, am guessing [haki] has 2 innate abilities because it's mythical right?"

[That is correct host].

[The first seal has been broken]

[Awakening dormant powers...]
