Singularity System

Underneath a shack, a basement filled with sands and random garbage was scattered all over the floor. The only light that came in was from a pinhole from the ceiling, but this does not mean that there was no heat coming through. On the contrary, it was relentlessly hot in there.

"Dammit… dammit… I hate them all...Every freaking one of them." There was a boy around the age of seventeen trapped in the basement. His feet were chained by metal chained to a cinder block. And if that was not enough, his legs were broken in half that the bones connecting the legs together snapped. Also, one of his arms were severely injured that moving it was painful.

"I hate this world… Why… Why did they do this to me… mom… dad… why…"

His name was Long Xiuying. He was deeply saddened mixed with a burning rage. He was adopted by his newly found parents and was even accepted to the clan since his parents had a high standing in the clan.

He trusted them, and even challenged those who went against him, but it was all for naught. It was all a delusion.

They teleported him to a faraway desert to be used for an ancient ritual. The ritual absorbed his foundation of cultivation and was given to their actual blood son to rise his talent. His fifteen years old brother did not bother to stand up for him, and he thought they were closed.

Next, they locked him here, the basement where all the garbage went.

He laughed. He laughed a devilish laugh. A laugh filled with madness echoed in his ears as streams of bloody tears flowed down his cheeks.

With the only limb that was left intact, he struck the garbages random slamming it to the other side of the wall.

Amongst the garbage, a flicker of light was revealed to him.

"Wha- what is that?" It was nothing he had seen before. It was stranger than the magical artifact that he once wielded. The thing was rectangular that could be fit on a person's palm comfortably. The screen flickered with a dark purple light with a strange symbol in the middle.

Long Xiuying grabbed the strange object to inspect it. On the back of the rectangular object, there was an icon of a shield. On the side, there were buttons that he tried pressing, but when he does nothing happen.

On the screen, there was nothing but a purple background with two words. 'Singularity System.'

He did not know what it meant since he never heard of those words before. He was going to throw it away but his blood got on to the screen causing a strange reaction.

[Welcome to the Singularity System]

When the voice echoed out from the rectangular object, it turned into something similar to mercury and absorbed into his skin. There was now a tattoo of a shield on his left arm.

Long Xiuying was anxious but there was no pain so he did not panic and besides, there was nothing he could have done at this point.

Suddenly something projected in his head like a dream.

[As the first and only user of the Singularity System you have unlocked an exclusive skill]

[Unlocked: Prime Sovereign's Shadow]

"Prime Sovereign's shadow? What is that?" He was not sure what was going on, much less anything that the voice had mentioned. He focused hard on the word Prime Sovereign's Shadow to see if he could recall anything.

Suddenly new information was connected to him.

[Prime Sovereign's Shadow: The ability to send the shadow of the user's to a dimensional world. Would you like to send the Prime Sovereign's Shadow to a random dimension? [2/2]]

Long Xiuying did not understand what that meant so he unconsciously muttered yes.

[Prime Sovereign's Shadow will now be sent to a random dimension]

And with that said, Long Xiuying shadow disappeared also.

He was extremely puzzled but he realized that his eyes were getting extremely heavy. He already lost a lot of blood that he was going to die soon.

[Prime Sovereign's Shadow in dimension - [Green Forest] - Dimension grade: 2 stars]

On a weird planet where greens were abundant and the sky was bright purple. There stood a shadow that took shape similar to Long Xiuying.

Long Xiuying's shadow hiked around until it saw a beast that had a long neck that high as the tree around there. Its neck was thick as well as its tails. On its back, there was something similar to a turtle with one spike protruding upward.

Long Xiuying's shadow fought it using bones that he had found on the ground. He was able to kill it by stabbing into its blood vessel causing it to bleed to death after six hours. Although it did come with a price. The beast had gotten the shadow's arm and thus crushing it to the point that black ashes were flying away like he was bleeding.

[Spiritual Energy Gained: 17]

[Prime Sovereign's Shadow condition is critical.]

[Prime Sovereign's Shadow had died. [1/2]]

When the Prime Sovereign's Shadow died, the pain shook Long Xiuying to wake up screaming in pain like it was a horrible a nightmare. Everything that happened to the shadow experiences; the pain, the battle, and the experience. Everything returned to him that happened in six hours of the shadow experience in the dimension came back to Long Xiuying in matters of seconds.

It got to the point that he passed out. He did felt something soothing entered his body after the pain. A minty cold energy enveloped his body before making its way to his dantian. It was the spiritual energy the Prime Sovereign's Shadow absorbed by killing the long neck beast. It was now also being transfer to Long Xiuying.

Long Xiuying woke up on the ground to find himself less in pain. Although his limbs were still deformed from the abused, he felt better.

"My spiritual energy. How do I still have some? It should be impossible…" Long Xiuying not only got his foundation absorbed but in the process, it crippled him from gathering any sort of spiritual energy.

"This! This must be because of that artifact." He was able to analyze it correctly. Long Xiuying decided to learn more about it so he reenacted that seemed thing he did before.

He thought hard about the word Prime Sovereign's Shadow until he heard that voice again.

[Would you like to utilize Prime Sovereign's Shadow?[1/2]]

Long Xiuying was excited that it worked. This time he felt that his revenge will come true, but for now, he needed to grind his way back.

"Yes!"
