004: End of games

After 5 days passed, we dedicated the 6th day to train, cultivate, and all that. But at a certain point, Shiro said "Would you mind to listen to my offer for a moment?" it couldn't hurt to listen. If I did it or not, that would be my own choice. "What is it?" "I want you to sever the soul." "Mine?" "Yes" "Why would I do that?" "It will help you, more than you can imagine." I needed help, that was undeniable, but was I so desperate as to sever my own soul? "What are the secondary effects?" "Severing the soul would mean stop having memories or emotions, sins, virtues... I want you to sever the sin of sloth." The sin of sloth? Was this an indirect insult to me? Was he calling me lazy? Just so that you know, as soon as I woke up, I began sword training, and when I was too exhausted to continue, I mesitated, qnd I followed that cycle 'till being sleepy, and then I would sleep, and the next day would be the exact same. By the way, every day, when I fall asleep, they throw the somniferous gas (I know because one day I stayed awake until late training) and brought three trays of food: breakfast, lunch and dinner. But back to the point, I had followed their instructions the best I could. I felt seriously wronged. "If you think I am calling you lazy then you are wrong, it is so that you don't need to sleep, and see what kind of benefits it brings you. I think we should try, and that you are ready enough." Oh. It was that. Then, I wouldn't fall asleep when the gas came...? no, that was probably wrong. It would only erase natural sloth, of a gas made you sleep, probably you would end up sleeping, although probably not as much time. "Ok, how do we do it?" "Me and kuro will do it, I was just asking for permission." "Wha-AAAAAAARGH" It was just an instant, but I felt an incredibly sharp pain. I needed several moments to recover from the shock, but I slowly began to feel as if I could control a part of my soul. It was the first time I came in contact with my soul. I hoped it would be the last time I did that, but I guessed that was very unlikely. "What did you do?" "I told you. We severed sloth from your soul.(Shiro)" "Sorry, let me rephrase that. What was the use of that?" "You won't feel sloth and you won't need to sleep(Shiro)" "And that's it?" "We won't know the soul skills until we try, or until they come into effect.(Shiro)" "Soul skills?" "Abilities that the soul fragment develops as it grows stronger. We will have to wait and see. There is always one, yet the amount is unlimited, and the quality will slowly get better.(Shiro)" If it was like that, then this would be useful... But I would rather not going through the same experience again, if possible. "Are we going to train, or you are going to keep up with the chit-chat?(Kuro)" "Coming, Coming..." I passed the rest of the day, until someone threw a gas bomb and its gas knocked me out... Again...
