Argent
(On my last chapter it felt like I tried to hard and it came out crap)
(Hicks)
*So all the needle has done so far is make me stronger and faster, I can only assume I am also pretty durable. What else can it do*
(Voice)
"This is proof that you were chosen by The God Of Fortune"
Hicks' body suddenly goes cold. This child like voice, he has heard it before.
(Hicks)
"Have you been here the whole time or did you just wake up or something?"
(Voice)
"Well I feel like I should introduce myself first. I am Argent. I am the soul that is inside the golden needle."
(Hicks)
"Okay that's great and all but WHY IS THERE A NEEDLE IN MY FOREHEAD! Couldn't you have put it in my arm or something"
(Argent)
"I mean I could have but I just thought the face would be cooler for dramatic effect"
(Hicks)
"Never mind all that, so what does this golden needle do?"
(Argent)
"Well the needle doesn't really do anything, I have the power but I am trapped in the needle"
(Hicks)
"Then why are you so special"
The light coming from the needle suddenly intensifies and Hicks falls down onto his knees shouting in pain. Then suddenly he is transferred into a void like area
(Hicks)
"Where am I?"
(Argent)
"I don't really know but here you can talk to me personally"
Hicks suddenly feels some strange aura and turns around swiftly. In front of him is standing a child that looks around 10 years old. He has golden yellow hair he stands short, has blue eyes and does not look to have any special power
Hicks stands there in shock. He can barely summon a visible aura around him and yet a child that looks to be 10 years old can create his own void.
(Hicks)
"H-How are you able to do this?! You look like a little kid yet you have such power
Suddenly Hicks feels a strong killing intent coming from Argent almost making him collapse
(Argent)
"Don't call me a kid, or I'll kill you"
The pressure finally relieves and Hicks is left speechless. Not knowing what is going on he stands quietly waiting for Argent to speak
(Argent)
"Are you just going to stand there like an idiot?"
(Hicks)
"Well you se-"
(Argent)
"You probably have so many questions I will try to answer them all at once right now... I am a tool of The God Of Fortune, I am known as The Needle Of Good Fortune. I was created by the God Of Fortune to assist his successor whoever it might be and it seems that you are the chosen one. So congrats
Hicks stands there confused and shocked. Unable to comprehend all that is happening he manages to ask
(Hicks)
"So I was chosen by a God to be his successor? Why me I am weaker than most people and not even an immortal?"
(Argent)
"My job is to make you worthy of being his successor."
(Hicks)
*So I am supposed to be a gods successor?!?? HOW?! WHY?!?*
"Can I decline from this?"
(Argent)
"You are not able to decline, the moment you agreed to fight the demon beast you became the successor."
Hicks stands there concerned and filled with questions. Not knowing what to ask he just sits on the floor.
After sitting on the floor for almost 30 minutes he gets up and stand confidently
(Hicks)
"Argent, how will you make me worthy of being the successor of the God of Fortune?"
Argent looks straight at Hicks, staring deep into his eyes. Then he smiles
(Argent)
"As long as you cultivate this specific technique I will grant you impossibly good fortune"
Then suddenly the void disappears and Hicks is back in front of his shack.
(Hicks)
"Are you still there Argent!"
(Argent)
"You can just talk in your head if you want to talk to me. Nobody except you can hear my voice."
Hicks smiles
(Hicks)
*huh how convenient*
Hicks proceeds to walk down a path towards an old style Chinese building. There seems to be a large crowd of fellow disciples all trying to look at something. A pass disciple sees Hicks
(Passing Disciple)
"Oh look if it isn't the poser Hicksbess"
All of the crowded disciples then turn around and look at Hicks then start laughing at him
(Hicks towards Passing Disciple)
"Fellow Brother I go by Hicks now to save breath"
The laughter of the crowd intensifies
(A random disciple)
Hey you have red hair, that means you must be one of the best in our clan, why don't we fight it out and see if that's true.
(Hicks)
"I may have red hair but I am only Qi-Gathering layer 1 Senior Brother."
(Random Disciple)
"I don't care, fight me! I could use the spirit coins!"
(Hicks)
"Well then I hope Senior Brother shows mercy on this younger brother
