''I will like to register to become an adventurer'' James said to the woman in glasses behind the registration desk.
''Welcome Sir may I know your name?'' the receptionist said in a polite and respectful tone.
''You can call me Atlas ''James said with a smile to the receptionist.
''Sir Atlas, please follow me. I will lead you to the awakening room where only you can see the results of your awakening.'' The receptionist said in a polite tone as she lead James to the awakening room.
In a room with a large whitish orb and a large screen, an ordinary-looking old man sat in the room reading a book as the receptionist brought in a handsome and young-looking boy.
'This boy is special, there is something about his aura I can't quite put my finger on. It seems he is also one of the immortal adventurers, their kind seems to be blessed by the elements. The least affinity grade I have seen for now is a C grade. That is quite the feat considering people with F-grade affinity tend to be common. This young man should at the very least have an A-grade affinity. As for the S grade, I highly doubt it.'
The old man thought as he scrutinized James.
''Guild manager, Sir Atlas is here to test his affinities and also register as an adventurer. Can you please help and supervise through the process?''The receptionist said as she walked in with James.
''Hahaha, of course, it is my job, after all, young man come and put his hand on the affinity orb.'' the Guild manager said as he looked towards James.
''Okay'' James said as he went forward and placed his hand on the orb.
''What is going on here? Is the problem with the affinity orb'' the old man said
''Anna go get me the new orb we just purchased recently.'' the old man said with an impatient tone.
''Yes, sir'' Anna moved quickly to go get the orb.
''Sir Jones, the orb is here.'' Anna said as she moved closer and placed the orb on the table.
''Young man place your hand on the orb once again''The old man said as he looked at James.
''Okay'' James did as he was told and placed his hand on the orb once again. This time also the results were the same. The light screen that showed the elements and their affinity grades remained blank, nothing appeared on it as if James didn't even touch the orb.
'' Young man I am sorry but this is the first time this has ever happened in the history of our world. Even those with the worst affinities have their grades appear on the light screen. All I know is that you are very unlucky, without strength, you will be reduced to a mere commoner.'' The old man said as he looked at James with a pitiful look.
''Don't worry Sir there is always hope as long as I am alive. Thank you for indulging me and allowing me to retake the test. I'll be back to retake the awakening test once again and return the gratitude.'' James said as he left the adventurers guild.
''A lad of such noble and graceful stature.....the world is truly unfair. If only he could have awakened he could have solved that issue for the king. '' the old man said as he shook his head.
Outside the adventurers guild, James came out of the Guild Hall with a carefree smile.
'' Hahaha...so that's why. I see so this is the meaning of nothing good comes for free.''James said as he laughed to himself. One will think that James would be sad at the turn of events instead he was smiling.
''I need to get a private place to sort all the issues out. The gaming manual, says anyone can rent a place and keep the expense on their tab. The owners will only allow that if I swear on my mana core to pay back. I guess I am in need right now, I have to rent a training room.''
In the training hall.
''I will like to rent a private training room for a day. I will like to keep it on my tab since I can't pay right now. I will fulfill all the necessary arrangements to make it a possibility.'' James said to the receptionist.
''Okay sir, the rental for a day is 5 coppers during the clearing of your tab you will have to pay 15 copper coins, do you agree to the requirements? If yes you will sign a soul contract to prove your sincerity.''
(A/N:The soul contract does not affect immortal adventurers the way it affects residents of the Evolution world, but the punishments are harsh which will let them regress in strength(loss of levels since they cannot die permanently) and not be able to access Origin Evolution world for a short period. By that time a lot of the other adventurers would have left them in the dust.)
''Okay'' James said as he signed the contract.
''Sir please follow me.'' the manager said as he lead James to the training room.
''Okay sir I'll leave you to it'' The manager said as he returned to his desk after leading James to his training room.
'System can you check the elements I have an affinity with?"
[Ding!!! The host has more elements than the current soul purity can take. The current soul purity of the host can only handle five elements. Will the host like to merge some elements to create another one to make way for the others? With your soul strength it will be a possibility.]
'System give me the list of elements that I can awaken.'
[Ding!!! The request is been processed.
Ding!!! The request is processed.]
●Time magic
●Dark magic
●Shadow magic
●Fire magic
●Lightning magic
●Creation magic
●Soul Magic
'System merge soul magic with creation magic and merge darkness and shadow magic. Can the shadow and darkness magic be merged into my own body?'
[Ding!!! Elements can be added to the body to create a body type magic due to the host's high soul strength. The maximum number of elements that can be added is two. Do you want to merge the darkness and shadow elements into your body?]
'Yes merge the two.'
[Ding!!! Merging successful. The chaos body magic has been established as an element after the successful completion of the merging]
[Ding!!! Due to the host's high soul strength, the creation magic cannot fully establish all of its different forms. Available options;]
●Soul Forger
●Soul Potioneer
●Soul Runesmith
'Will I be able to get the other two forms back after my soul has been stabilized??'
[Ding!!! The answer to the host is that once the creation magic reaches the level of the soul magic or vice versa, the other options not chosen will be available to the host.]
'Select the soul forger occupation'
[Ding!! Request Processed.]
'Now let's get to the main crux of my awakening problem.'
'System would you by any chance know the reason for my failed awakening.'
[Ding!!! From the statistics and your data, the main issue of your failed awakening might be your large soul strength. The power of that capacity needs to have a body that can handle it, From observation, the system thinks that your soul strength is suppressing your other elements.]
'What do you think I can do to prevent this from happening?'
[Ding!!! the optimal solution will be to suppress your soul magic to the bare minimum.]
''Do you have anything that could suppress it''
[Ding!!! The only thing the system can offer is the time and creation legacy treasures and the perfecting of your elements. But with the merging of the soul magic god, all your related elements have been perfected. This grants an opportunity to ask for compensation from mana A. I in this world. There was a deal between Master Lucius, Sir Nicholas, and mana before they died to help you perfect your elements but now that you don't need it we can ask for something else since the A. I run on fairness and equality. ]
'No, that opportunity cannot be used to solve something as trivial as this. What about the legacy treasures?'
[Ding!!! The host cannot access the time legacy treasure unless he fulfills the system's only quest but can access the creation legacy treasures.]
'So what are the creation legacy treasures?'
[Ding!!! The creation legacy treasures grant the host the ability to create three evolvable treasures without any grade limitations since they can evolve.]
''Oh evolvable in what sense?'
[Ding!!! The system will create treasures that can be bound to the host's soul which grows stronger as long as the host gets stronger. Will the host like to use one of the three spots?]
''No, I'll like to use two spots. I need my main weapon. First, create an evolvable katana with a pitch-black blade with a red hilt in a sheath, and finally, I want a limiter that suppresses my powers by half and can be used to release my limits in percentages. In this life, I'll go with the sword once again. The limiter should be some kind of blindfold, I think it will make me look cooler.'
[Ding!!! Request Processed]
[Ding!!! Forging in the process...It will take about five minutes to be completed.]
'Hmm come to think of it my soul strength is recovering. If it didn't I wouldn't have been able to create the chaos body magic and even use the system at all....' James internalized as the system disrupted his train of thought.
[Ding!!! Will the host like to see the rewards from merging with soul magic god's soul?]
'Yes I think is about time, I ignored the message earlier since I needed to register and access my game system since I can't access it, for now, I'll just see what these rewards will be].
[Ding!!! Rewards are been processed. Ding!!! Rewards Processed]
''Oh, Shit!!!''James exclaimed as he could not restrain his excitement.
