Soul Karmas

Snow closed his eyes as Flake quickly imparted information about the current body before Snow could order it. Snow was inwardly grateful for having 50% of his spiritual power, allowing him to easily bind this body.

He quickly went through the client's memories, ignoring all information unrelated to his current circumstances, fully trusting the additional information Flake had given him.

Soon Snow's eyes snapped open, brimming with an ice-cold light, as he quickly and decisively made a plan from what he knew thus far, deciding to make a more detailed plan later on since the killing intents were closing in.

Taking 30 seconds to fully extract the important information and another 10 seconds to decide what to do, Snow painfully moved his severely injured body.

As he glanced around the dark forest, Snow saw that he was surrounded by trees as far as he could see, illuminated only by the bright moonlight.

It was eerily quiet, but Snow knew that he was currently surrounded by people silently looking for his whereabouts. He could feel the murderous auras honing in as they moved around despite how they tried to suppress it.

His current body seemed to be very sensitive to any evil intentions regarding itself.

"Flake, give me a pill for a burst of strength and speed, then guide me to our destination."

Snow ordered Flake mentally, then felt a small green and red ball appear in his hand. He quickly threw it in his mouth, using his teeth crack it open, emitting a soft sound.

Crack!

The tiny sound immediately grabbed the attention of his hunters, who quickly rushed towards his location seconds later. However, Snow had long already begun to move, dashing with unbelievable speed and strength as he jumped to a tree to his right, with Flake mentally guiding him.

"Snow, the right side has fewer people and that person on the tree is the weakest one."

A light flashed as Snow swiftly swung the sword in his hand horizontally, soon crimson blood splashed over as the man in black clothes was unable to evade Snow's quick move before a soft thud sound echoed out when the man head has hit the ground which he was already moving ahead and speeding away from the group as soon as he finished his surprise attack.

"Flake, give me bombs for smoke, paralyzation, and poison."

Snow quickly jumped up towards a tree before swiftly moving around the branches, turning left and right without stopping as Flake guided him around. From behind him, he could hear the sounds of his enemies brimming with murderous intent.

"Quickly follow him! This is our best chance to finally kill him!"

Snow slightly turned his body just as his left foot stepped onto the next branch, with a burst of strength, he threw the three large balls that had appeared in his hand towards the assassins.

Soon, a burst of smoke in black, purple, and blue rapidly surrounded the assassin group completely covering their figures.

"What's this?"

"Quickly cover your mouth!"

"Ah, my eyes hurt!"

"I can't feel my body..."

"Damn! It's poison!"

"How could he have this weapon? Our Lord didn't tell us about this!"

Without hesitation, Snow turned his body back, speeding up as he ran away.

As he escaped, his vision started blurring and his sweats running through his injuries which have caused it to stings painfully that a small pants escape his lip.

"Snow, you have 3:28 minutes left before the speed and strength bursts are ineffective." Flake reminded the severely injured Snow, before asking worriedly, "Do you want me to purchase healing medication for you?"

Snow shook his head slightly, his lips curving up, "No need, these injuries will be useful for my plan."

Besides, he really didn't want to use his soul energy points for merely convenient items if he didn't have to. It was just that the previous situation was an emergency; besides, he didn't really want to fight with that group of assassins at the moment.

It might have even leaked his secrets if he uses something completely unusual that the client shouldn't even have and making his enemies completely suspicious and then trying to figure out what has happened, something that Snow would rather not happen, especially when he only vaguely knew about his enemy.

Besides, Sno had been severely injured just now, but in a second, he was completely cured…. wouldn't that make him extremely questionable?

With his current identity, he absolutely could not allow anyone to know about his abilities, especially when this world was rather special.

Sometimes it's better to be on the safe side of things.

"Flake, is there still a group of people following me?"

Snow asked after stopping a short distance from a rushing river.

"Um... there were some lucky people who were able to cure themselves with their Internal Force; they are currently tracking you down as we speak."

Nodding his head, Snow took a glance at his appearance in the river.

In the reflection, there is a slender figure currently wearing an ancient style of a black robe with wide long sleeves and gold lining.

Before Snow gazes upon at the extremely attractive and delicate small face which had a beautiful red tear mark under its left eye, and beautiful amber eyes narrowed down with a bitingly cold gaze, and an entirely adorable small pink lips were pressed in a thin line before dense long eyelashes fluttered down completely reaching his cheeks.

And seeing a soft-looking white skin from the exposed rips in his clothes.

Although the reflection in the driver absolutely looked messy, everything just added to his beauty, Snow's current body looked to be a charming young man with a natural noble and majestic bearing, creating a very attractive presence, looking entirely different from Snow original average look.

"So young-looking." Snow couldn't help but sigh since his current appearance was actually quite different from its true age. 

A slender, white finger gently touched the red tear mark under his beautiful left amber eye, making Snow smile widely, "Hehe, so interesting… This world is really interesting."

"Flake, remove all my traces and make me undetectable from this moment on."

After Snow has spoken those words, he swiftly dashed to his left and without hesitation has leaped down to the rushing river that was connected to the waterfall in the far distance.

With a large splash, his body was completely submerged in the rushing water and did not emerge again.

A few minutes later, the group of people that have been hunting Snow has finally lost their track despite examining the surroundings meticulously.

However, in the end, it was all useless, since there aren't even a single traces were left for them to follow Snow, thus finally ending their hunt.

Later on, before the sun was about to appear in the dark sky, in a rather simple house, a figure has suddenly sat up on his bed, as a rather loud sound has abruptly prompt in his mind that has completely woke him up.

"What's wrong, Black?" a low, sleepy but with magnetic voice mentally asked, getting slightly irritated at the loud beeping sound that still continuing in his mind.

"Host Adult! A very important mission just appeared, with very good reward points too! Would you like to accept it?"

The man just frowned silently, he didn't want any trouble right now; he very much liked his currently peaceful life.

If it had been one of the simple quests he had been completing every day, then he could easily accept it. However, he couldn't help but hesitate at the moment. The words "important" and "good reward points" were red flags for an upcoming problem.

"Please accept it Host! This might affect the world! It is really very important!" pleaded Black which was a genuine cheat system.

Black acknowledged that its host would prefer to live his life peacefully, but this time, Black knew that they couldn't refuse this Task.

No, it was Black that couldn't refuse. Black's host might not know at the moment, but it would be dangerous for him to refuse it too.

Even if Black's host was very powerful and talented, another powerful existence just appeared in this world- not just one being.

And the most dangerous of all was the world will itself seemed to accept and welcome the new existences.

That was not a good sign, at least for both of them.

One of them had contacted him just now; he couldn't refuse it- it told him that if he did, he and his host would be 100% destroyed. Black didn't need someone to tell him about it since it is painfully easy to figure it out.

He couldn't really fight back against it too, so Host, please make a wise choice this time!

QQ, he was being threatened but he couldn't tell his Host about it.

"Please Host! You have to accept it!" Blacked begged, "Not only does that person have a very important position in this world, but it will also give you something important. If you miss the chance this time, you will definitely regret it, Host! I can take a vow right now- I'll leave immediately and unbind myself if you choose "NO"! The host will not be in any danger if I unbind myself, but it will be dangerous for me!"

It's better to leave the current host despite how dangerous it was for himself, as he really needed the energy point rewards from the host's quests. Still, at least Black would have a chance to run away and survive, rather than waiting for that special existence to decide whether he wanted to obliterate him.

If the Host really chose the 'NO' option then he will leave despite the danger; Black just wanted to survive at this moment, and his Host didn't really need him at all.

After hearing Black's words, a surprised look formed on a rather handsome face- so this quest was important enough for Black to choose to leave him and face the chance of disappearing?

He knew that Black needed the reward points to survive.

and.. Will he really regret it and will lose something very important if he chose 'No'?

Oh... so interesting... surprisingly, his perpetually calm heart started beating a little faster…. Is it from excitement? curiosity?

He didn't really know why, but he decided to accept the mission this time. Although he liked the peaceful life he was currently living and was too lazy to mix in troublesome things but he wouldn't cower to any problem that might arise.

He was just so tired of confronting hard problems in life… Sighing softly, he was forced to "accept" the task Black presented. It was always fun to tease this funny system; he had grown quite fond of it.

"Alright Black, I understand, but I'll take a look first before I really decided what to do."

Black cried happily, "Thank you Host! You will definitely not regret it!"

Mission: Let the person survive, and cure him.

Reward: 10,000 points

"Would Host Chen accept the mission?"

"Yes or No?"

For him to be rewarded 10,000 points just to save a person… it was very telling how important that person was. Chen usually only got 10-20 points from his usual simple daily ones. 

It was rare for him to live in such a peaceful life. If Chen was was allowed, he would prefer to just live peacefully this time around, away from problems and dangers. He was so tired of all these problems and was just too lazy to get mixed up in it.

Sighing, he pressed "YES", standing up from his bed and dressing up.

In the dark night, a tall figure left his house before quickly following the map given by his system, his tall and slender figure disappearing into the night.

"Snow, we are almost there, just hang on."

Flake's worried voice echoed in his mind, and Snow's calm amber eyes narrowed as a thin layer of an invisible shield surrounded his body, the darkness around him completely undisturbed.

He had been submerged in water, letting the rushing water propel his body towards where he wanted to go, his lips curving up at the thought of meeting someone special in this world.

This person would play an important role in the future, but Snow decided to meet him early on.

In the original soul's life track, he never had the chance to meet this important person, but now the timeline was changed.

Snow had some time to think and rest a bit as his body was propelled, Flake letting him know when to move his body when he drew near dangerous items such as sharp rocks or drifting wood blocking his way.

Flake had given him detail regarding the world; aside from receiving the original body's memories, he was given information outside the life of the original body.

Snow was currently in a world reminiscent of the ancient dynasties of his original world. However, this wasn't an ordinary world- the people of this world were born with a talent in a mystical power or an internal force, usually referred to as 'Qi'.

Internal force referred to training in a martial arts skill, while mystical power was very rare and referred to the use of unique abilities, mostly by the use of talismans and artifacts or other special abilities that the people were born with or had awakened.

The most interesting part of this world to Snow was the fact that there weren't only two genders. Aside from males and females similar to his original world, there was another gender called "Fair", a person who appeared male but had the ability to give birth.

Most importantly, every Fair was alluring in some way, whether they were charming, beautiful, glamorous, or seductive and many more types.

Fairs were recognized by a red mark somewhere on their bodies once they were born and Snow is currently in the body of a Fair.

It was quite startling; Snow couldn't help but wonder how it felt like to give birth to since he seemed to had the chance to experience it in this life.

Oh, Snow wasn't against the idea of a man giving birth- Snow could accept anything, allowing him to adapt to most occasions easily. This was one of the reasons why Snow found it so interesting to be a Granter- it allowed Snow to experience so many things in life.

Which, giving birth to a child was one of them now.

Flake informed him that 5 years after the original body died, the country where he was living was stricken with poverty, violence, crisis, and corruption, and was in danger of being conquered by the neighboring Dynasties.

The once-Rong Dynasty became a Zhou Dynasty. After the real Royal family bloodline died completely, a new ruler soon has quickly took over.

Despite how the new ruler was very good at handling political power, he was inept and extremely incompetent at governing the country. His chosen heir was the same- despite his talent with martial arts, the Crown Prince only knew to be infatuated with his Crown Princess and having fun with him all day long, uncaring and indifferent about the lives of the common people.

It wasn't surprising when a rebel appeared a year after the establishment of the Zhou Royal Family and took over with a coup d'etat… and the leader of the Rebellion? The person Snow was about to meet, called Li Chen.

A person who transmigrated to this world with a genuine system.

That wasn't even the most surprising thing about Li Chen; it was his identity before transmigrating. At the age of 10, he was kidnapped and trained in an organization of killers. Surprisingly, Li Chen grew to have his own moral code despite the tortures he went through and the brainwashing they performed. 

One could say that he had a very strong mentality to refuse the brainwashing and has acted out like he was one, so he wasn't a mere puppet to be ordered around.

It wasn't until he was 20 years old when the world ended.

Yes, it was the end of the world, and at that time, Li Chen was freed from the Organization, and as a talented trained killer, Li Chen was able to survive the apocalypse.

Still, Li Chen died when he was surrounded by zombies and decisively chose to combust himself with his special power, since the man refused to turn into a zombie and become a true monster.

Based on what Snow learned, the man was rather contradictory.

Now, it was a year since Li Chen has transmigrated to this world, and his current body was only an 18 years old young man.

Snow wasn't afraid to meet and use Li Chen in his plan, nor concerned about a potential protagonist halo.

If Snow were to be truthful, Li Chen wasn't the original protagonist- he was merely a substitute after the supposed true protagonist died. Li Chen became the protagonist because the world needed one- he was a second choice made to fix the mess that was created.

The one with the true protagonist aura in the world happened to die early. It wasn't, of course, Snow's current body, but he was related to the death of the true protagonist.

"Snow, we will arrive in the set destination in 2 minutes, please get ready." Flake reminded Snow mentally, awakening him from his thoughts, as amber eyes glittered with cold light.

Now then, since I decided to choose you, don't let me down alright?
