Random Anime Fanfiction - Chapter 9 Border Between Life And Death

This chapter is quite gruesome. If you want to skip till the row of ****

In a dark room with little to no light. A boy is hanging from the ceiling by chains attached to his arms. The boy is covered in injuries from cuts, bruises and burns. The worst damage is half a dozen metal poles entered into his legs and feet (2 in each leg and 1 in each foot). A close second is the fact that his toes and fingers have been ripped off, his arms bent in the wrong directions. The boy looks extremely malnourished and tired with his eyelids slashed off.

In enters several masked individuals. One 2 meters tall and heavily muscled man, one short wrinkled old woman and a person of indeterminate gender with no defining features which made the person seem almost unnaturally average.

“So are you going to talk today little sh*t or are we going to have some more fun,” says the muscle man with a cruel tone.

“If he doesn’t talk by today, I’ll let you take over the interrogation,” the average person says towards the woman

Next, all she does is slowly nod while licking her lips slowly while looking at the child with a ravenous look in her eyes.

“Aww. I was having so much fun playing with him” said the muscle man with a face of obvious sarcasm and disdain as though talking about a toy rather than a fellow human being. Just as the three people start to approach the boy, the boy looks towards them, but there is something very different. His skin is slowly turning from a healthy skin colour of a lightly tanned Caucasian into a morbidly white colour, and his eyes started leaking blood, small amounts of steam started to be released from his injuries. The poles got slowly pushed out before all of his injuries healed within less than a minute. His nails turned black, sharp and double their regular length. “It’s my turn to play now,” says the boy in a completely monotone voice that sends shivers down the back of the people listening to him.

********************************************************************************************

*Several weeks ago*

“Here comes the book lover”, “Are you sexually attracted to books you loser”, “You think you are so much better than us, you bloody arrogant trash.”

I genuinely feel pity for these ignorant and hypocritical children. I feel as though their parents didn’t teach them anything other than how to be a Ninja and how to be a delusional narcissist. Although they have stopped resorting to physical violence due to the fact I never react to them and give them the satisfaction of breaking my spirit.

Although at this point I have learnt all the theoretical knowledge that is publicly available although I have noticed people continually monitoring all of my actions, so I haven’t been able to do much training.

Although today as I’m leaving the library, the people following seem to be releasing some actual blood lust as well as being quite good at hiding which is a change from the usual no blood lust and terrible stealth.

I don’t understand why they are hiding, from what I can tell, they are many times stronger than me. Oh well. I suppose that they might just be monitoring my actions instead.

*Several hours later*

*Inside his room in the orphanage*

Since they haven’t taken action yet, I can only accept that they aren’t going to take action tonight at least. *many muffled crashing sounds* Sh*t what is happening. Why do I feel so drowsy?

[Host has consumed poisoned food]

~”F*ck you system”~

*Several days later in a dark room*

[Congratulations Host, you are assimilating the summoned soul and slowly gaining its power]

[“Well he was just weak nave trash, but at least he was able to refine some chakra that I’ll be able to use”]

Why is there two system voices and why can I feel myself getting weaker.

[At this rate, in 2 hours the soul will be completely absorbed, and then we can summon the next one for you to absorb]

[“How many more do I have to absorb to upgrade the system?”]

[Host has absorbed approximately 200 souls at this point, and another 100 will be needed to unlock the next system upgrade]

Is this a conversation between the original host of this body and the system?

[“I’m still annoyed you allowed my body to be taken over by this coward, then let him get poisoned and kidnapped”]

[Due to the soul being from a different dimension, it was much more powerful than yours, so our only option was to hide in the body’s mindscape and wait for the soul corrosion poison to sufficiently weaken his soul]

Again WHY IS MY DESTINY TO BE BETRAYED TIME AND TIME AGAIN

Sigh Rage is a weakling’s source of strength I will not succumb to human emotions

From what I’ve analysed of their conversation, the soul is real and is in the mindscape.

*After days of getting weaker and listening to the arrogant system and original host plotting and gloating*

I have finally figured it out. The soul isn’t some intangible thing, it is merely an energy source which carries your memories and personality which is spread out in the human body and after focusing under the threat of death I have finally gained complete control over mine.

*Less than an hour later, when the chapter started*

“It’s my turn to play now,” says the boy “Time to show the power of a GOD!!!” he says with a maniacal laugh. The boy moves so fast, that only his afterimage can be seen up until an instant later he ends up at the other side of the room while all three of the people fall over with finger width holes in their necks.

“HAHAHA. The more inferior people I kill, the stronger I become. That is why this whole world will become sacrifices for my power to increase.”

[Congratulations Host, New Mission has been assigned, Kill 1000 children: Reward, one free stat point]

“I was going to do that anyway but good to know I’m getting additional bonuses as well.”

After he was done talking, the boy ended up kneeling on the ground.

“System what is going on?”

[Analysis Unknown, something has removed both the system and your soul from your legs and is slowly working its way up. Quick host, use your soul to fight against it]

“ARRGGHH WHAT THE F*CK IS HAPPENING! FIX THIS SH*T SYSTEM! F*CKING NOW!!!” screamed the original host

“Sigh… although you killed many people and absorbed their souls, you just relied on the system for cheap tricks. You never did learn how to use your soul efficiently”, says a voice with no clear origin

“M*THER F*CKING JAKE!!! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!!!” yells the original

“I simply left your body and waited for an opportunity. Goodbye, my predecessor. I won’t accomplish any of your final wishes as you are not worthy” said the voice in a tone that sends chills and fear equivalent to the Grim Reaper’s Scythe.

“SYSTEM, F*CKING HELP!!!” yells the original

[I cannot help you Steven as he is also absorbing me, I am somewhat disappointed that you were my host and not him]

*Silence*

*THUD*

The underground room went silent till the boy fell onto the ground and went into a deep slumber
