After being expelled from the ISSTH world saga, he's currently on the way to his next world which he finds confusing since he didn't immediately transfer like usual.
He then remembers that before he's about to rush his expelling tribulations in South Heaven, he takes one woman which he finds pitiful yet tragic within her life and another woman who doesn't have a body yet.
Lastly, he gives a little gift to Xu Qing with the Bloodline of Yuki clan which Orochimaru posses 2 vials and opened her full meridian.
Although he didn't know how this servant of his could find so many bloodlines, currently he only has 3 Uchiha Bloodline and 1 Yuki Bloodline while he still doesn't know other bloodlines since he didn't bother to try to ask Orochimaru.
While thinking he didn't realize there's a force similar to expelling force entering his Universal Orb, then there's space distorted which takes his soul and he still doesn't know that he's in soul form again.
=======
Suddenly a distorted space appeared, then a thick white orb came out of it, the white orb is Asep's soul which has teleported to this place, which is startling to him since he didn't notice it until he's here.
What he first checked was his own body, but when he checked his body he was disappointed with the result since the body which he takes from Wang Tengfei didn't arrive together with his soul and its detached immediately when expelling force appeared.
He remembers that in a flash at the time the body of Wang Tengfei collapsed like people who died while himself expelled with soul form, this led to him to believe that he's really punished because he's transformed into Soul Devourer which makes him sad and angry at the same time.
Although he's really hoping that was not the case, the fact says otherwise, and it makes him silent without moving from there until the first thing to catch his eyes was a huge mural. The mural was about 10 meters in height, a grassy plain, a lake, and the mountains were drawn in the background and the person had both of their hands extended out. It was a beautiful mural. It was a great mural.
This place seemed to be in a huge hall, and the hall was made out of marble. The whole building had a beautiful luster. The building, which was constructed by laying glossy white stones on top of one another, was supported by huge pillars with delicate designs, and the ceiling was in a dome shape. The whole place naturally looked like a cathedral and had a very solemn atmosphere.
Suddenly there's a shining light at the top of a pedestal that was located in the deepest part of the building, and from nowhere there's a bunch of students who appeared which startling him since he can see one of character he knew from Japanese Novel, and this novel was the first novel he read before being addicted to every novel he found on a website which has countless links from each novel page.
(AN: It's his first novel, not my first novel! If I'm not wrong the first novel I read is..... err..... I forgot!)
With him seeing Hajime Nagumo appear here to make him know this world is Tortus, which is currently the saga of Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou or From Common Job Class to the Strongest in the World.
Although this novel has many negative responses from its reader, he still reads it sometimes while not trying to finish it one go since he likes to read it slowly and not binge.
When the student was still in daze, Asep dashed forward to Hajime and stayed close to him since he wants to follow this protagonist's journey because he wants to copy some of his items, while trying to see if he can copy that skill of his while reading Hajime's soul which he believes the location of his skill.
===========
Although he can see that Hajime is really bullied and looked down by cliched thug character, he didn't attempt to change it since he thinks its the process of Hajime's maturing or similar.
Even though the betrayer is there, he didn't attempt to kill them since he didn't feel obliged anymore when he could just copy the artifact or cheat item which he wants to possess.
He really blames some being who didn't send him to ISSTH first but thinking again, he can't give anything to Meng Hao if that's the case so he didn't think about it anymore.
(AN: I think he means to blame me, well since I'm the one who writes it maybe I'm blaming myself? who knows XD.)
======
At night when they sleep, he tries to enter Hajime's soul to see if he can copy the transmutation skill which he finds a good addition to have.
When he entered Hajime's soul scape, he can see there's something like a crystallized rune which shines with brilliance. He tried to approach it and he felt there was little expulsion force but its negligence if he compared expelling tribulations so he gets to near it.
He uses his soul power to make it entering his copper mirror and he uses the 5kg Purple Veined Divine Crystal to create its exact copy, when he's about to take it he can see it's attracting each other as they would merge, but he uses his plunder skill to take it with swift speed and devour it.
Another brings back to silence like what it did previously, aside from its futile expulsion force, which its emitted nothing worthy can be seen from it.
Checking crystal still working, he left his soul-scape without disturbing his sleep aside frowning when he copied the crystallized rune.
(AN: It's only my theory about skill being crystallized rune, don't ask how I know since it's my own theory and idea XP.)
=======
Next the following days ahead, he only acts as a spectator of Hajime's daily lives until he's betrayed and lost his hand then getting into the little cave which Hajime's made with his transmutation skill.
He always tried to help but forcing himself to stay his hand since he thinks this is what Hajime needs if not no Hajime which he sees in the novel will be created.
As time goes by he's numb and sees this with indifference while unknowingly Asep changed his mentality into a different one by seeing Hajime's struggles, although he knows the story most skipped its detail what he sees is the worst detail.
Maybe if he sees Itachi slaughtering Uchiha when he arrived then he would be more changed, but fortunately or unfortunately he didn't so its first time he sees this in detail since he always goes to take treasure on the previous world before he goes back to become protagonist spectator.
Within this cave, Hajime fainted after he lost too much blood and his body is currently hiding in this safe place temporarily.
Seeing him faint, he follows the water drop source then he sees the stone which looks like crystal. Then he used his copper mirror to copy it and its only take 200g Purple Veined Divine Crystal.
"It's a good healing resource for me in case there's sometimes I need it" he mumbled and with this, he only follows Hajime until he's become more changed into what Hajime says in the novel he reads.
With that he goes to some forest outside which he finds far away from the main plot route, he devours the beast's soul until it appears again, his expelling tribulation in which he hates the most so he devours it as much as he can to unleash his anger.
Suddenly black cloud which is little size if we compared with his time in ATG, and with that he knows if he didn't do anything like harming key character and changing other fate, the cloud and the lightning has been charged fully ready to strike him wouldn't be too big but its still mindbogglingly for him to accept since he didn't think his existence would always be rejected.
Hmm... don't ask why he didn't take other treasure since the real reason I as the author will be too dizzy if he has too many treasure!!~
This skill is better is it not? hoho, god magic? nah its useless in GDW because its annoying rules!!~
