A loud ripping sound was heard
In the space that was filled with darkness, two white lights emerged.
[[Summons Successfully Completed]]
[[Submissions Unlocked]] [[Rewards Unlocked]] [Blessings Unlocked]] [[Brandings Unlocked]]
As soon as one of the bright lights emerged there was endless screaming.
"Where am I?" "have I been kidnapped again?"
"Am I Dead?"
Aside from the screaming, The voice from the light was so soft and delicate he could tell it was a girl.
The light kept frantically wiggling. she instinctively looked around. She was then able to notice the light beside her. She looked down and saw her body was a mass of light. She was in her bedroom crying and now she was here.
She had felt a powerful pull and then everything went dark.
"Please stop shouting, you are giving me an headache" the voice had come from the light beside her. It's was a boys voice. She wanted to rebut But She decided to shut up. she was sure she would find out something sooner or later.
It was then her eyes fell upon the dark space above her and her entire being shook. There was nothing there but as soon as her eyes fell on that spot fear crept into the deepest crevice of her heart. She tried to move back but forgot she could not move.
She looked to the side and realized that the light beside her was shaken too. Obviously in complete fear. She realized they were in the same predicament. They were doomed
A long time passed without anyone saying a word. Until the girl decided to talk.
"Hello?" she said in a trembling voice far softer than her shouts before but her voice still travelled and echoed loudly. She couldn't help but remember her screams before. If she had a face it would have paled considerably. She didn't notice before and she got embarrassed thinking of how unintentionally loud she must have been.
"Welcome! Both of you. I wanted to give you enough time to calm down and get accustomed to your situation. No need to panic you were both summoned here by me. "My name is…."
He forgot he didn't remember his own name so he looked around and said the first thing that came to his mind
"Void".
He wanted to jump and ask them a bunch of questions but knew he couldn't. He wanted to stay as enigmatic as possible. So he decided to take it slow. For some reason he could tell that they were very afraid of him
He was also unaware that his voice was one of those that exuded reverence. It was so majestic and powerful to their ears. They couldn't help but shrink.
"What are your names?" this question was the simplest of questions but to the duos ears it was the most important question of their lives.
They're ere both dazed and it took some time for the silence to be broken.
"My name is Valencia, my Lord," she said as soft as she could.
immediately after that, the other light responded "And my name is Cruden, my Lord". "may I ask what were we summoned here for?" He said in a trembling voice as well. It was clear it took all the courage in his body to muster the words. he was very smart and he immediately understood the situation
They both didn't dare call him by his name
When he first got here he thought he had died in his cell and was in hell. Anyone would have come to that same conclusion in that situation because the first thing he heard was screams and saw only Darkness. But knowing that he was summoned by a powerful entity made him excited.
Void was surprised himself he didn't think that question would be asked so soon. He obviously knew what they were summoned for but would they help him for Free?
as soon as the thought arrived the system responded.
[[[Rewards can be given out by completing missions. the host can issue missions to the summons. By completing missions The Host will get experience points the more experience points you get the better]]]
[[summons must accept hosts branding. Then missions can be issued]]
[rewards must match the weight and successful completion of the mission]
Valencia and Cruden both stood there patiently.
Void was silently processing the information. He didn't know much about the system but he was slowly understanding the basics. It's basically like a game, but he won't be the one playing but issuing out rewards. It's like a teacher marking a test.
"Hmmm, that's kinda boring…. Ill be stuck here". He thought, disappointment heavy in his voice. He looked up only to see the two flickering lights waiting on him. He thought they could also hear the system but he was wrong. The system was one with him after all
"what I summoned you for is not important at the moment, tell me about yourselves and where you're from"
Surprisingly the first to respond was Cruden. "My lord, I am a lowly slave from Wuhan. I am 13 years old currently awaiting death for crimes I did not commit. I am a mortal at the 1st level of cultivation but this lowly one wishes to help you in any way possible as long as you can save my life and help me get revenge" he tried to get everything out in one breath. This was his only lifeline after all
Valencia was surprised, She didn't know where Wuhan was. She has never heard of it but she could hear the desperation and she could relate.
"My Lord, I am 11 years old. I am the 5th princess of the SheHan Dynasty. I am known as the bastard trash of my family. I am also mortal. I am a burden to my family and I don't possess any talent for cultivation. I don't know how I may be of assistance but if it's something I can do. Then it will be done.' she was so sad to admit all these things but she believed it was necessary.
Another long set of silence passed. Then space started to shake.
"What the fork? children!" He was so perplexed. What kinda hope system is this?
How am I gonna be revived now?" Cultivation? What kind of missions can I give them? Climbing a tree? Picking damn apples?
If the two could hear his thoughts they would be so baffled. They thought the entity was a God
Valencia asked worriedly, "my lord is something wrong?" "Did our answers not please you?"
Void wasn't paying her any attention. The system didn't answer him so he had no other choice than to ask the children in front of him.
"What is cultivation?" he asked disappointedly
"Cultivation is the art of strengthening the body. Cultivation is the path in which a mortal can take to achieve immortality and power. You can shatter rocks and flips seas as long as you are strong enough. The most important part of cultivation is sensing qi. if one is unable to send qi then there is no hope of cultivating."
Valencia hurriedly responded. She had heard these lines countless times before from her instructors
So there are superhumans in the world that they are from. Void thought to himself. Clearly, they are not from earth. Cultivation is basically like leveling up. So I have to help them level up! Let's see what this system can do.
"I summoned you here for a higher purpose. You complete missions for me and I will reward you greatly. Let's cut to the chase. Do you want to reach higher heights!?" His voice at this moment sounded like a True God. the space around them was shaking with every word
They themselves both started to shake as well but for other reasons. they were excited. "Yes, my lord".They both answered in unison.
Void was perplex. He was unsure of what to do and not very fund of being called lord but if this was a way out. He would accept it. As embarrass as he was, he loved role playing. He smiled inside and continued.
"Then accept my mark"
[[Initiating Branding]]]
It was a weird feeling. He felt part of him detach and went into bodies of light before him. Valencia and Cruden had this weird feeling wash over them and by the time they could figure out what it was. A feeling of complete comfort started to seep into their souls.
