Capítulo 3: System! (1)
I think the sweat started to pour from me like a waterfall when Lucy asked for a pat down.
I could feel my skin start to become more and more sticky at the moment. I needed the necklace to be able to continue to live if the plot went as originally in the novel.
I can't use the Shaping Will yet because I haven't gotten a soul weapon. But...
But wait, how did people obtain their soul weapon in the first place? I only remember Allan's soul weapon awakening as he was the only one mentioned in the story I think?
All Allan did during the novel was awaken it when he tried protecting some random villager NPC #1258 or something and 'boom!' he magically got a scythe out of nowhere and completely one-shot one of God's demons.
Now that I think about it, he's kind of overpowered.
I guess that's why my delusions wandered off as far as thinking I was a secret power or something, I wasn't and got my ass whooped in a fight against that dude.
Seriously, who was crazy enough to think that they could one-shot a grown man as a minor or something?
Well, I was.
The Shaping Will can freely change the form of that said soul weapon. In [Give Up? Never!] a user can only manifest a single form of a soul weapon depending on their heart's desire or physical attributes.
If I as Dorian Andras were to get a soul weapon manifested right now, it would probably be a fucking twig or something because of how emaciated this guy physically is.
So being able to change that twig into an actual fighting sword or something better is a definitive benefit. I won't be locked down to a crappy weapon if my soul does manifest into a twig.
I have to lie this bad for it, I'm already too deep, if pull the necklace out of my pocket my chances of saving the world instead of Allan are closer to zero. How do I get them to not notice it?
Wait...
Suddenly a dangerous idea came to my mind that I hope no one in this world would ever think about. It required a high thinking process and correct timing...
I had to take this seriously for the future of the novel!
As the Duke's bodyguards started to cave into me. They approached no less than 40 feet away from me, while Lucy stood a good 10 feet in front of me.
While Lucy turned her head back to command her guards to come forward for the search, I quickly grabbed the necklace from my back pocket, shoved my hands down behind my pants, and snuck it between my cheeks as a placeholder.
It was the only way...
The bodyguards had approached into touching distance, to make sure they didn't feel that I had the necklace on me I was clenching my cheeks for dear life.
I'm not sure if I can even use this necklace yet but I'm going this far, there's no backing out now.
'Pat... Pat... Pat'
Each time the guards touched my body for the necklace I clenched my cheeks harder and harder.
I feel like I was losing some type of masculinity in this act.
"Lady Andras, it looks like Mister Dorian does not have any items on him at this current moment." The guy with silver armor put back on his helmet to hide his bald head before walking over to Lucy to report to her.
"Mmmm…" She still looked at me suspiciously. My acting might just be bad, but there's a first for everything,
"Okay then… Let us withdraw for now." Lucy with her bodyguards in metal armor starts to clank away.
I felt a sigh of relief as I started to slowly ease up my buttock as if I were letting a nuclear missile into the toilet.
Lucy turned her back towards my face, "But don't think I'm giving up just yet. I will report this to Father and he will decide what becomes next of you," she put on a displeased face.
She was as if she wanted me her brother to be sent to 4 weeks of imprisonment with torture…
Her remarks made me slowly clench it once again but as I watched as one by one they slowly vacated from the hallway, out of the door down, I finally felt it easing up again.
I took the Shaping Will out of my pants and just stared at it…
"I will forever feel shame wherever I wear this around my neck and use it," I murmured. It was truly the starting stone of my journey in [Give Up? Never!].
I quietly put it into my pocket to never think of this moment again...
[Tutorial Quest Cleared!]
The red screen flashed in front of my eyes again I put my head down and sat on the red carpet floor in exhaustion from what just happened.
My legs during that act almost gave out.
If every day is going to be as hectic as today, then I would need a way healthier body and way better acting…
Lucy is going to tell my father huh? The Andras Family's current leader and Duke, was stated in the novel to be the greatest soul weapon user alone without the use of 'Arts'.
Dorian's father's full name is Donte Pron Andras, his name just sounds pretty tough.
Arts are basic skills that a soul weapon possesses, but instead of being innate to the soul's weapon, they can be learned with that type of weapon there are four different types; Melee, Ranged, Magic, and Supernatural.
They are basic skills but they can become the deadliest weapon, such as with Allan's Melee [Arts: Cut] which can slice the tiniest of atoms. Basically with Arts in [Give Up? Never!] is used as some kind of special move.
In the world of [Give Up? Never!], everyone was basically overpowered... but me! What the hell how can everyone be born with a soul weapon from baby days except for me?
I think the author had a problem with a guy named Dorian or something.
This is going to be a big problem now.
I don't remember what Dorian's father's personality was like, but if he sent 12 bodyguards to threaten his son just to obtain a mere then I'm screwed if I meet up with him again and act like I did with Lucy.
I was sweating my balls off with each word I said, I'm pretty sure Donte would notice I'm lying in seconds.
While pondering how to leave the Andras household with the Shaping Will I lifted my face back up and stared back at the bright red screen;
| [Rewards For Clearing This Quest!]: |
- The user is not sent into any punishments and keeps the following artifact; Soul Necklace: Shaping Will.
- +100 SP! (Soul Points)
- +100 VP! (Villain Points)
Now that I think about it, what the hell are the Soul Points and Villain Points? I got a hundred of them I'm pretty sure I'm rich now, it's like 100 dollars or something.
Ding!
What caught my attention again was the same window screen appeared, and there were two of them at the same time! Another screen popped up next to the screen I was looking at which displayed a screen with the words plastered;
[SHOP] - SP
It had a blue tint and aura that brightly glowed that same color. I shifted my gaze down just a little and saw the same icon and font, but it was a different color and had a different ending;
[Shop] - VP
This time it had a red tint and aura that glowed which matched the background of the screen.
"Is it touchable?" I began to stop slouching because I was finally fully rested and sat up straight.
When I touched the first one on top: [SHOP] - SP the screen changed;
----
Mental Soul Power: 000023/100000 [+/-]
Physical Soul Power: 000009/100000 [+/-]
Soul Points (SP) Remaining: 101
----
"Ah."
"I forgot soul weapons are formed through physical and mental power… No wonder why Dorian didn't have any soul weapon," I was a little shocked but his low capabilities weren't that surprising, "Of course, he couldn't manifest a soul weapon! He's weaker than a vegetable!"
But in the novel, how was he able to compete with Allan Rayas in head combat? Something was not adding up to that.
Allan could quite literally slice anything in two permanently, and create something from nothing with his Arts.
I saw the plus and minus signs plastered next to the already devastating numbers so I decided to click the minus sign on the mental soul power without a second thought-
"ACK!-"
I could start feeling my head throbbing and the world I was seeing as straight started to spin in circles faster and faster, while it started to also become distorted.
It was pain- my white sclera began to gradually change to yellow, then turned red, and the darker it became the more of a burning sensation was gauged into my eyes.
It became too red for my grey irises to stand out. My eyes were forcefully getting pulled out of my head. My vision slowly clouded into nothing.
This ringing sensation kept increasing and became louder to the point of deafening.
I screamed out of pure misery-
A train of thoughts started to barrage my head, it was like a sensory overload.
The seconds felt like minutes, and minutes felt like hours of this overbearing burning.
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
"HEY" a profound voice started to scream at me but it was a mere insect buzzing in the noisy silence.
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
It hurts…
"SNAP OUT OF IT!"
Ding!
