Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

The soul path is like a transportation system for the souls who is given another in life. The qualifications of the souls deserving a second life is vague, no one knew except for the {ENTITIES} that manage the soul path.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pillars of light started piercing the sky all around the and can be seen from afar, it's a signal that new souls have successfully arrived in the planet.

"Finally after 10 days of waiting a new thing happened."

The man smiled behind his mask felt relieved that an event had happened before his eyes.

'I've been here searching for nearly two weeks and haven't met anybody yet.'

While going near the nearby pillar of light he swings the sword in his hands. The leaves of the trees in the forest have a dangerous side effect that upon being touched it releases a gas with that makes you feel drowsy.

'I can't understand why it doesn't do anything when its being cut, well I'll just keep the leaves just in case.'

While cutting the leaves he was now nearer to the pillar of light and after a few seconds he reached a silouhette of a man can be seen in the curtain of light. The light banished and revealed the man.

Sharp eyes, long nose, black hair, tall a handsome man with a body seemed to be trained for combat has appeared. The man slowly scanned his surrounding when he eventually saw the 360 view of the place he stared at a spot.

'Is he looking at me? That's insane.'

The masked man was amazed by this and slowly backed off out of fear. The man just stared at his location with a blank face he averted his gaze to the masked man location and headed to a nearby tree. He picked up a branch and gripped it, he swung for a few times and climbed on to the trees.

'Is that guy a hunter? He has great instincts. He quickly grasped the situation'

The forest that the man landed at was really dangerous because of the nearby wolf den and he doesn't know the landscape of this place.

'I need to talk to him, he needs information to survive and I need people to fight the wolves; isn't this a win-win situation?'

While having this thought he silently hopped on the trees and carefully scouted the forest for a possible encounter with the wolves. As he manuevered through the trees he was close enough to encounter the new soul.

'That's weird I can't see him anywhere.'

He stopped, focused his senses and hide amongs the leaves on the tree. The rustling of leaves, the calming flow of the river's water and the breathing of the animals near the area are filtered. The masked man carefully scanned the wilderness. As he slowly looked around he sensed something from afar but it was too late the branch the man picked up before had reached him.

"Oh? You're quite good."

"Quiet a rude way to introduce yourself."
