''Aiya, look at that young man going, how can you not have such an extraordinary bearing even after living all these years?'' An old man said to his middle-aged grandson in a berating tone. The young man in question continued heading towards his destination as if he didn't hear the comments of the people around him. The young man had spiky dirty blonde hair with a faded haircut and he wore a white blindfold with strange gold markings which covered his bright green eyes. He had a katana with a red hilt in a sheath with the same markings as the blindfold. This particular young man was James. After receiving his rewards and suppressing his overpowering soul magic he decided to revisit the same adventurers guild he tried awakening in earlier.
''Who is that guy, is he an NPC or a player? I can't see his level. Damn, he looks so cool with that blindfold....''A man with the basic warrior equipment set said to his friend.
'Hmmm a lot of people have reached level 2, it seems a lot of time has passed since I arrived. Now with the rewards, I got from that bastard, I can quickly catch up to the other players.'James thought to himself as he moved closer to the adventurers guild.
In the adventurers guild Hall.
''Welcome back Sir Atlas. Would you like to try the awakening again?''Anna politely asked James as he walked in.
''Yes tell old man Jones that I am here,'' James said to Anna as he thought about the guild manager.
''Okay, he said I should lead you to the awakening room,'' Anna said to James after contacting Jones.
''Welcome again young man, are you here to try awakening again? No matter the results don't lose heart.''Jones comforted James as he thought he will fail once again.
''Don't worry old man Jones, I'll surely awaken this time,'' James said in a confident tone.
''Okay but what is the use of that blindfold.....you forget about it, first try to awaken and we'll talk about that later" Jones said to James.
''Go ahead and put your hand on the affinity orb'' Jones said to James as he moved towards the orb.
[Ding!!! Elements awakened;]
[Time Magic-->X Soul Magic-->X Fire Magic-->SSS Lightning Magic-->SSS Chaos Body Magic-->X]
''Oh shit what the fuck is happening? how can someone have the affinity grades of the legendary dragon, phoenix, and fairy races? Where did this new magic also come from? Is something wrong with the light screen?''Jones said in a dumbfounded tone as he looked at James' test results.
''James what did you do? How come your grades are now showing and are this astonishing?''Jones asked James skeptically.
''The reason why I was unable to awaken was due to my high soul magic suppressing my other elements. I don't even know the current limit of my soul magic affinity grade. This blindfold is a limiter on my stats and soul talent'' James said to Jones with a carefree smile.
''Hahaha, it will be the glorious rise of our Tempest Kingdom. With the recent rise in talents in our Kingdom very soon we will be able to shake off enemy kingdoms'' Jones said as he laughed in excitement, one could see the loyalty to the kingdom through his eyes.
''Okay old man Jones let's start my registration, I have been waiting to sign up.]
''Okay young lad'' Jones said as he imputed James' soul purity record and life signs to be recognized by the mana of the world. To access the mana of the world, individuals needed their souls recognized and recorded by mana to be able to use the game system.
''Young lad I like you and I have a request for you. With your natural talent, you should be able to fulfill the requirements for the quest.''Jones said to James as he looked at him with expectations.
[System alert:Ding!! The host has received a quest. The guild manager Jones wants you to reach level 10 as quickly as possible to solve an issue for him.
Requirements: 1)Reach level 10 as quickly as possible.
2)Return to this same adventurers guild to receive the follow-up quest.
Quest Rank:D rank.
Rewards:1)Maxed favor with Jones
2)A meeting with the king of the Tempest Kingdom.
Do you accept?? [Yes][No]
'Yes I accept the quest'
[Ding!!! Quest has been accepted]
''Okay, young lad I'll see you later when you have reached level 10'' Jones said to James as he left the adventurers guild.
[Ding!!! The host has been able to access the game system.]
[Ding!!! The system will partially merge with the game system. The full merging will occur when the host fulfills the quest to gain the time legacy treasure and use the last spot of the creation legacy treasure.]
Back to the training hall
'System access the beginner's pack''
[Ding the rewards of the beginner's pack are now displayed;
●Unranked tier clothing armor
●The elemental manipulation skill.
(A/N: THE ELEMENTAL MANIPULATION SKILL IS GIVEN TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL. IT IS A SKILL WITHOUT A RANK THAT HELPS GAMERS USE THEIR ELEMENTS. IT IS A SKILL THAT FOLLOWS THEM ALONG IN THE GAME. IN ZERO EVOLUTION ONLINE CLASS-BASED SKILLS ARE DERIVED BY GAMERS THEMSELVES, THAT IS WHERE THE AFFINITIES COME IN. A PERSON WITH S RANK AFFINITY GRADE WILL HAVE IT EASIER TO DERIVE A SKILL FOR HIS ELEMENT THAN A PERSON WITH A B RANK. THE SKILLS DERIVED ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE CLASS AN INDIVIDUAL CHOOSES.)
'Okay as expected, now I have the manipulation skill, I can create my skills. I have to also try replicating the sword skills I used in my past life.'
'Now that I can access the system, I can see the effects of the rewards I got before heading to the adventurers guild. System show me my status screen.'
[Ding!!! Revisiting the rewards the host received upon assimilating with the soul magic god's soul purity.]
[Ding!!! Part of the soul purity of the soul magic god was used to strengthen the host's body constitution to the current limit of a Rank 0 existence.
Effects of this will be the gain of +5 Strength upon every two level-ups.]
[Ding!!! Due to the soul purity of the soul magic god, the host's eyes have been permanently evolved to the "Soul Eyes"]
"Soul Eyes:They are evolved eyes that can peer through anything. With this, the host's perception has been increased to the limit of a Rank 0 being. Any illusions cast by any being below Rank 0 will be rendered useless."
[Ding!!! The soul manipulation of the host has been increased to the limit of Rank 0 as a result of assimilating the memories of the soul magic god through soul purity. A skill gained after reaching Rank 0 of an element has been obtained.]
[Ding!!! The skill Elemental Domain has been received. ]
"Elemental Domain: In one's domain, the cost of mana for active skills will be reduced by 75%. Damage done to enemies will be 300% of the attack power of the host. This skill evolves with the host as his elemental manipulation gets stronger."
For individuals with multiple elements, after achieving the Domain effect for one element, it will be easier for all other elements of the individual to be able to achieve the Domain effect. The more mastery over an element an individual has the more bonuses he gets when he uses his domain.
[Ding!!! Due to the evolution of the host's constitution, the HP of the host is capped at the maximum for level one]
[Ding!!! Due to the evolution of the host's constitution, the physical attack strength of the host is capped at the maximum for level one]
[Ding!!! Due to the evolution of the host's constitution, the physical defense of the host is capped at the maximum for level one]
[Ding!!! Due to the evolution of the host's constitution, the host's stamina has exceeded the maximum for level 1]
[Ding!!! Due to the evolution of the host's constitution, the host has been rewarded the title, Unlimited.]

''Hmm such a vague explanation, well I'll make do with it. Select the Soul Combateer class for me.''James said as if he didn't care about the class he chose.
''Hmmm change the name of my katana to Asterix permanently. This baby will be with me throughout my journey.''James said as he caressed his pitch-black katana with the red hilt.

''Finally is time for some action, I have wasted my time since I came here. By this time other players should be at level 3, I need to catch up as quickly as possible...I guess it's about time for my legend to start.'' James said as he sheathed his katana and wore his blindfold to reduce the power trying to burst out of his body to the bare minimum.
