Now answer me. You don't have any strong karmic threads with other people. So you don't to worry about somebody else." 'This is one of those novel like situation isn't it or just a well made prank.' Of course he knew about reincarnation and all that novel fantasy story after all he was also a male highschooler at a point who discovered manga and novels.'
"Ahh just fuck it. Alright I will do it. But what is that artifact you mentioned."
"Finally you talk like you have some intelligence. The artifact is what you all call 'system' or something along the line it will give you access to a new realm I have in my control. You can change and control everything you want about it if you have enough cultivation realm."
"A system?? You MADE a system??" "Making a system is quite easy if you become a supreme god and have enough knowledge about runes, array, formations, blacksmithing and many other things"
He let out a slow and deep breath-"haa..."- to calm himself down while thinking ' just breathe, breathe slowly.' After repeating it a few times he asked " Just Who are you?"
" I was wondering when you would ask that. I AM KARLOS,THE GOD OF BATTLE, the protector of the universe. I AM the strongest being in the universe of this era. A PEAK CELESTIAL GOD, one of the few to have ever reached the peak of the universe, not counting the primordial era." The surrounding blackness started to vibrate as if that space could not bear the pressure of that declaration.
A sudden pressure came crippling done on Lex as if simply hearing it is not something he can do. He felt as if he was bearing the weight of the heavens after hearing that declaration. He only managed to survived due to the coating of aura done by KARLOS to save him but he was covered in sweat after that.
" Now lets finish this little interaction" the being said while manifesting a small black spherical ball with lights dancing around it. The being said "come here and consume this to gain the system, you will feel pain that you never felt before but you will forge a stronger and better will helping you tremendously in the future."
The black spherical ball starting hovering as if calling him towards itself. Lex reached out and after hesitating, he consumed it.
Pain, pain he never felt like before. It felt as if his soul itself was merging with the spherical ball. He felt the ball slowly decreasing in size as time passed, and the pain increased, he never imagined he could feel so much pain. He felt as if dying was better than this. Just then the being voice rang out " do not disappoint me, GOD OF WAR bloodline holder."
As he heard the word 'GOD OF WAR' the pain eased as if something within him helped him overcome the pain. Making his will stronger, tougher and larger than before.
After what felt like few days of never ending pain, even with his bloodline helping him, the pain vanished and so did the ball, merging with his soul.
" The system will keep on unlocking new features as you progress your cultivation. But the true features will only start to unlock when you become an immortal. Entertain me as I will watch over you from time to time to keep track on you and make sure you don't die. Now off you go."
After that, everything turned dark .
