Soul Number 577137823616561-origin-M, Awaking in Ouran Temple.

"Soul Number 577137823616561-origin-M, Please enter." 

With those words, I open my eyes, and look around.

"Where am I? What's going on?!"

The blob of black energy started shuffling through papers. It then pulsed in what seemed like irritation. It stared at me with empty golden spheres that mimicked eyes.

"I just got done dealing with an entitled ass who did nothing with his life. It looks like im dealing with a similar case. You died of a heart attack while watching Final Fantasy 14 Cutscenes- after binging dragon ball Z for the 2nd time that year." He glares at me. "You basically died of exhaustion and overly entertained, you did nothing with your life!" 

I shrug. "I had no prospects. Not like the world gave me a chance to do anyt-"

"Silence!" it boomed. "Just for that, I'm going to spend your piddly Karma for you! Prepare to suffer mortal!"

"Wait! there has to be a law against that!" I shout.

"Oh, there is! In fact, I got fired from the celestial bureaucracy just last week! I'm only here to fuck with my employers!"

"Wha-" my mind begins to race, this creep is incredibly powerful. my eyes dart around the room, I see a poster in the corner, that says 'If you feel you are being treated unfairly, please, shout the words, I INVOKE THE ISEKAI INVESTEGATION UNIT!' at any time during your interview.'

Shrugging I open my mouth, but as soon as I do I begin to be sucked into a portal glowing with eldritch light. as fast as I can, "I Invoke the isekai investigation unit!" just as I am beyond the event horizon I hear the words, "low-Reincarnator #7101 You are under arrest for the violation of-"

I don't hear the rest as My-krillen's eyes snap open.

---

Shit! shit shit shit! my head is killing me. The memories slam into me like a freight train, and Krillin is actively resisting.

(you are being erased, your soul is being strengthened by the echo.)

Not like this. I didn't even want to take over this body. I just wanted to be happy. Why did I have to die in the first place?!

(you are being erased, your soul is being strengthened by the echo. Failing.)

I REFUSE! I WILL NOT DIE TO SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY FATED TO DIE AND BE USELESS TO THE PLOT 90% OF THE TIME!!

(Your determination is resonating with the Echo. the strength of your soul has eclipsed the soul of Krillin. Devouring.)

Krillen-I struggle against each other, I Krillen is no match for me! I am 7/16 years old and I know martial arts!/enough mental exercises to get through this! I begin to go through calculations that Krillen doesn't know/I start going through Orran Temple Buddhist scriptures. I grin, internally as Krillen made a huge mistake. traditional Buddhism is about killing the ego to get enlightenment or so I've heard. He hasn't changed his mindset to growing spiritually so he just helped me. I begin to suck up the parts of his soul he's chopping off unintentionally. Krillen is getting weaker and weaker and I am taking control a chime runs through MY-kril-I-Mind and soul.

information runs through my mind and I intrinsically know the following things as if someone told it to me directly or if I read it in a book.

(through your determination and knowledge of the soul gathered from youtube, the echo is resonating with your knowledge. Soul designated Krillen is merging with yours. Krillen's knowledge of martial arts assimilated.)

(Krillen's personality has been erased. Your body is transforming to match the new soul-map.)

(Soul age is now 14)

(Mind age set to 16)

(Soul strength is at 4.7x the norm for the current world. Your potential for growth is higher than a talented human martial artist.)

I gasp for breath as my body shifts. Actually this isn't my body at all.

I quickly look at a mirror. an notice that I look a lot less like krillen and a lot more myself.

Wait? Why does the mix between Krillen and I look kinda like Itachi Uchiha?

In fact this bodies memories also didn't have a nose. But I have a sharp but small nose now. my face is shifting around constantly.

raising Cheekbones and growing out hair.

How in the hell do I look like Itachi Uchiha with shorter hair?!

my hand slips from the sing and I hit my head on the way down. I lose consciousness.

I wake up what feels like 30 seconds later in the bed, totally refreshed. I get up and look into the sink noticing no blood.

(By dying through Soul Shock. Your soul has become strong. Your potential for growth is now much Higher. Enabled strength gain through training. 4.7>5.7.)

Damnit, the bastard gave me the echo. but disabled my ability to get strong through training? in this death world? FUCK! well, at least the echo was able to Enable it again.

I no longer look like Krillen so I should probably get out of here. I look around, and notice that there are people outside. the room. and they're knocking.

"Krillen, you have been accused of leaking secrets of the Ouran Temple. You are summoned by the leaders of the temple." SHIT! Guess I gotta fight my way out.

the door is smashed open, and in shock I immediately throw a punch- which is dodged. "Hey! who the hell are you! I knew it! He was selling secrets!"

I am ganged up on, knocked to the ground and beaten to death. "Serves the spy right. Now we have to find Kril-"

Is the last thing I hear before everything goes black.

---

But then I am back in the room's bed, as if nothing happened.

I hear the knocking again before I can get my bearings. "Krillen, you have been accused of leaking secrets of the Ouran Temple. You are summoned by the leaders of the temple."

Sweat rolls down my back.

(Your general power level has been increased by 1. power level 6 to 7)

(you have absorbed more of Krillens understanding of martial arts.)

The door is kicked down again. But I don't do any better in a fight at all. I actually am able to punch one of them in the face this time but I am quickly ganged up upon and beaten to death.

  I wake up in the bed again.

(Your general power level has been increased by 1. power level 7 to 8.)

(your spatial awareness has increased. power level 8 to 8.5)

and again, they come in, and I am beaten to death in short order.

(your agility and dexterity have increased explosively, Your muscle density has been enhanced. Your bones have hardened from constant beatings. Power level 8.5 to 11)

I always wondered why power levels didn't make sense. It definitely seems non-linear. Gah with how power levels work as I see it now, scouter's are absolute garbage and should never be trusted.

Before I can finish my thoughts, the door is smashed down. "HEY! who the hell are you!? Where's Krillin. I smile at him and step forward. preparing to go in with a punch to the solar plexus and plan to knock him out with a punch to the cheek-

I get to knocking him in the solar plexus- only for him to shrug it off.

"Good technique, too bad you stole this knowledge with the help of that traitor." I am then smashed in the side of the head by a staff at lightning speed. I attempt to stand up, and am smashed again just as I hit him in the face, which he also shrugs off. I try to push off the ground and continue.

(your Determination has Resonated with The Echo. Power Level Permanently increased by 11>13 Ouran temple martial arts has advanced. You are healing at an accelerated rate. You are now generally 1.5 times stronger and 1.75 times faster, and 2 times more durable in every aspect.)

I stand up, and force myself to punch harder. and he winces when I hit him in the gut again, he flinches slightly when I punch him in the face.

But now he just looks angry, "Let me help you there Junior brother." I hear from behind before everything goes black.

---

I come to awareness to that damn knocking. Damn it People in this world are fucking monsters.

I'm just a damn otaku.

(Your power level has increased to 13>15. You are now 2 times faster, 2 times more aware of your surroundings and have a 2.5 times increase in body strength. You have become (ordinary) Peak human for this planet. Bottleneck reached. You must unlock Ki to break this bottleneck.)

(Defeat one enemy to erase bottleneck and become stronger. Unlocking Your Ki by doing so.)

I move forward as the door is bashed in.

My rage and killing intent is felt by the guards this time. They hesitate.

"Halt! You are on Ouran Temple property. Return the texts you have stolen with that traitor!"

I charge forward faster than he can react and send him flying. I guess I'm strong enough to fight grunts now. But I'm still fucking weak.

(Enemy Knocked out. Bottleneck Removed.)

"Let me avenge you! junior brother!" I get into a stance. and glare at them. "How dare you flaunt such stolen techniques!" the second grunt rages. I charge forward fists cocked back in an aggressive but guarded stance.
