章 6: Awakening of Soul-chip

Three more years have passed since Zack has been living in the orphanage, making him eight years old. One night, while Zack was sleeping peacefully, the ancient blood within him started to stir and seemed to have awoken from its slumber.

Zack's body slightly glowed and got brighter and brighter. After eight years, the blood within his body and soul was finally fully energized and was ready to make an appearance. The glow left his body and formed a bright spark in his soul. This spark is divided into two.

A fragment of the spark entered his brain and unlocked the seventh region while the other fragment entered his body constitution and further enhanced his physical structure. Zack was completely oblivious to what was happening to his body and slept through the entire process.

Early in the morning,

Zack was awoken by a loud ding in his head.

"Lord Inheritor is recognized, completion of the inheritance test is now pending," said an unfamiliar voice.

Zack's brows furrowed and he looked around his room and outside through his window, "Who's speaking?"

"Lord Inheritor has successfully awakened five percent of his brain's seventh region. The brain's analytic and memory abilities have both increased and basic physic has now been awakened. The host is now eligible for the inheritance test."

Zack was beyond confused but he decided to stay calm and maintain a level head. He took a deep breath and attempted speaking with the unfamiliar, strange voice in his head, "Who are you? What's going on?"

"Lord Inheritor, you are to take the inheritance test and pass. Consequently, if you fail, you'll face the wrath of the heavens and death will be your only fate." Zack gulped, "What will I have to do?"

"Lord Inheritor must unlock a hundred percent of the seventh region of his brain and reach domain level-15 in physic. By reaching these milestones, Lord Inheritor will be deemed worthy of the inheritance and will be blessed with A. I Spirit Tool. Until then, Lord Inheritor must train his body and mind to the best of his ability."

The voice stopped and seemed to have left his mind. Zack called out to the voice but there was no response. Zack plopped down on his bed and multiple thoughts ran through his head at once.

Everything was still confusing but he was sure he needed to get stronger. He then thought back to the academy. From the conversation he overheard, he knew the academy was located in Safe Zone 1012 but that was all he knew.

Zack was determined to get more information about the academy from the library but Grandma Park informed him that the library had no information on the academy since such information was kept confidential. He then decided to take things one step at a time and learn as he grows.
