System

Two years before you could awaken properly, you were forcibly extracted from the capsule.

Then to make matters worse, you were given some potions later in the years, to fasten your awakening process. I doubt they even had an idea what they were doing. Because of these portions, a very small fraction of the power vested in you leaked resulting you to go berserk at random.

By the time the projection was almost faded.

Kylian had a thousands of questions lined up for Thoros.

Kylian finally asked the most important question he felt at the moment, "What...How am I to use this power and stand atop everyone ?". Kylian spoke without even catching his breath.

The entity was amused and gave a small giggle at his question, he was happy to see his son slowly gaining his true nature which had been lost these past years.

"Don't worry son," Thoros spoke "I have made arrangements for you to understand this power."

Even though Thoros was almost faded, but Kylian could see his expressions somber as he continued "Your strength is directly dependent on how many lives you take. But remember this, killing just for the motive to gain power is cruelty and such a person who uses my creation in such a way is not worthy of it at all." he spoke with a stern voice "And if you tend to crave just power without a cause, these powers would immediately be snatched away frrom you."

Even though Kylian was taken aback by his changed tone of Thoros and the crucial information, but he did not mull over the whole information, it was time to collect information and think about it later.

Kylian quickly asked another question. "You said I was dead, how am I supposed to return back to my body ?"

"Why do you think, I am fading away ?" Thoros spoke "Whatever is left of this soul fragment is enough to get you back to life."

The projection then faded into nothingness and Thoros omnipotent voice probably echoed for one last time- "Prevail over everyone and everything son, make us all proud"

The soothing sensation in his body was gone, and Kylian was left again in silence.

Kylian was just waiting for to return to his body, when the silence of the place was broken by a thin melodious voice which came from just behind him "Young Master Kylian."

Kylian turned around and find nothing 'Is it in my head ?' he thought.

"Young Master, down here on your shoulder" the voice rang again.

Kylian looked down, and he found a miniature form of a human girl with bright transparent wings. It was seated leisurely on his shoulder, it was as big as the palm of his palm.

"What are you ?" Kylian asked unsure what even that thing was.

The small creature flew and faced "What do you mean, I am?" Kylian could see the little creature pout "I am the most majestic thing after Master Thoros. I am a fairy called Chepi." she spoke proudly.

Kylian was not even shocked by the presence of this mythological creature after what he had heard from Thoros, everything seemed possible to him now.

Chepi continued "As per the Master's order I am here to guide you on the usage of the powers vested to you."

Kylian nodded and gave his full attention to the fairy.

"So Young master Kylia-" she started speaking but was cut short by Kylian.

"Just 'Kylian' will do." he interpreted.

Chepi's face lit up a notch. Even though Kylian was her Master's son, but at present he was weak and it was beneath her to call Kylian her master, but keeping her self-respect and proud nature aside she was doing it for her Late Master's sake.

"So Kylian..... hehehe" Chhepi gave a small chuckle, it sounded suitable now "My Master who is the greatest, had already told you all the difficult parts about souls energy. Your body however could consume it on its own and to its fullest. I am a bit jealous though, but the Master is always right." she spoke cheerfully.

"How does it work? " Kylian asked, well he had guessed the souls would come from taking lives as at many occasions Thoros had mentioned, but Chepi had told her almost nothing by now.

"It's easy, you just consume a number of souls and you level up." she stated plainly.

"Level up ?" Kylian looked at her with puzzled expressions.

Chepi looked at him quizically, "Don't tell me you don't read light Novels on system?"

Kylian just stood there, his confusion only increasing with the new terms she used.

Her eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief "You don't even know what light novels are, do you Kylian ?"

"?" Kylian expressions said it all. He was clueless about what she meant.

She spoke with a haughty smile "I pity you Kylian, you haven't lived life at all."

"But don't worry," she continued "Master would have known this and that is why he had designed it easy to be understood. Let me show you." Chepi did a circular motion with her tiny hands and in the next moment, some words in Golden appeared in front of Kylian.

CURRENT LEVEL-1

[20 SOULS REQUIRED TO REACH LEVEL 2 ],

In the top corner was written.

[Primary Affinity- Ice]

Kylian was shocked by the sudden manifestation of words. He slowly turned his head left and right, but the words seemed to be engraved on his retina.

Seeing Kylian a bit bugged, Chepi spoke "Just wish for it to disappear and it will."

Kylian did as she said and surprisingly the words were gone.

"See, isn't it simple ?" Chepi spoke flying around Kylian in circles, she seemed more excited than he was "My master had made it so easy for you. Just gain the number of souls required and then level up. Ohhh level up means to gain more strength." she added.

Kylian nodded, had got most of the things which Chepi said and it was simple to understand but he was clueless about the affinity part, "What is this 'affinity- ice ?" he raised his doubt quickly.

Chepi halted in her course and looked at Kylian with furrowed brows "You sure the Affinity says ice ?"

Kylian rechecked "Yes, it does." he replied

"Ummm, okay" Chepi spoke with pursed lips, her cheerfulness had visibly dropped down a notch .

"Is something wrong ?" Kylian asked a bit worried, as per the sudden change in her expression it was clear there was some problem with it.

"No...no it's good." she replied, with a cheerful smile " There are only a handful of beings left with an ice affinity."

"Why is that?"

"That is not important for now," she replied immediately. "Have you seen destruction magic at work, ?"
