Chapter 3: Glory
In the temple, A teary-eyed boy stood near the grandmaster with bruises on his face.
"What happened?" Shu asked in a worried tone.
"The other kids said that I'm weak, that I'm better off being forgotten, And that my parents left me here and forgot me because of I'm weak" The boy cried, "All of you only pity me and nothing else you all hate me, And think I'm weak" The boy sobbed.
The grandmaster was taken aback by the boy. After a few moments of silence, he sat next to the boy and said: "Do you seek to be the strongest?"
The boy looked up from his hands slowly "Do you seek to be looked up too?" Shu continued the boy nodded his head and the man proclaimed "Then what you seek is glory so that people may mention you. The glory of a difference you made to always be remembered" He looked at the boy in the eyes now "Then seek glory".
The boy sat there stunned at what he just heard and so he thought that this was true for one to be remembered you need glory."Then I will find glory and become great and everyone will love me" The boy wore a smile ear to ear.
The grandmaster chuckled and replied"Settle down, for now, You have to survive to be there when the chance is there ok "the boy sat down "..ok" a smile appeared on Shu's lips "Just promise you will stay alive to remember me ok?" Shu said as the vision faded.

Shen's eyes shot open. He was now filled with energy and forced his hand into the air. He had one sentence repeated again and again in his head "I will find glory no matter what!" And with that, He hit his leg with the stone once more the bone crackled into place.
Shen put the stick next to his leg, and tightened the broken piece of his shirt around the leg and stick then used healing magic to stop the bleeding, Although it will only hold back the blood flow, And not fully heal the leg. Shen then used an energy orb to light the room. It was then he heard it a whisper coming from the darkness again and it said.
[Come to me and you will find what you seek, come here my child] It seemed to come from a corner of the room.
Shen got up and began to follow the voice into an opening across the room with some difficulty.
Due to his leg, He had to limp down a passageway with one hand on the wall to support his walking, And as he walked the whispers got closer and closer.
Shen couldn't explain it he felt like he needed to go toward it, And the whisper continued to beckon him closer.
The passage opened up into an ancient city with roman type pillars and houses. He continued to walk a bit longer. He was across the whole city before appearing in front of a catacomb.
There he could see a small glowing blue light which seemed to be the source of the whisper, and it said.
[If you grasp me all you want will belong to you. Power, Money, Glory, It will be yours. You need only grasp me.] the orb flickered it blue base shining, but filled with the strange etchings all over it.
Shen went to the orb and grabbed it with a shivering hand, He brought it closer.
It began to vibrate, and Shen found that it was turning into liquid.
It was entering every pore of his body causing him to shake violently.
He felt immense pain as if his skin was burning off. The orb was completely in his body at this moment. and he couldn't move
His body was being changed and it hurt like hell. Shen thought he was about to die from shock, but then it stopped as quick as it came and shen dropped to the floor.
He got up and found something weird. His leg has completely healed no scar, Wound, Not even a bruise as if it was never there in the first place. He then began to notice he could see clearer in the darkness than before. this was all very weird to him. He was dumbfounded by this development he was beginning to think it a dream until he heard a soothing voice.
[Assimilation complete subject survived operation magical affinity, Body, Mind, Regeneration enhanced. commencing the introduction. I am #1 the prototype. state your name to enter it into the database.]
"Where the f*ck did that come from????"
Shen looked around trying to find the source.
"I am prototype#1 I am connected to your cerebral cortex please state your name," it said coldly.
Shen didn't know what to do, He had never been anything like this before. So he just stated his name to see what would happen.
"Name Tanda Shen is now in the database. Now commencing information exchange I am prototype #1 I was made to enhance human capabilities beyond the normal standard to create better warriors and I have melded with your body. Now we are linked. I have already enhanced you."
Shen's head was spinning with awe and confusion. He thought he may have gone crazy, but he saw that he was healed, and his vision was enhanced so, in other words, this thing is telling the truth and he just hit a jackpot!
"What did you do to my body?" Shen asked it while feeling his body.
It responded promptly "I have enhanced your vision, your musculature, As well as your mind and will affect your mind over time."
"My mind?" Shen wonders what that would mean going forward, But, for now, that was not at the forefront of his mind so he decided to focus on what's happening now.
"Ok well, what can I do now?" Shen asked.
[Testing is advised] It replied.
