Chapter 24 - Absorption

'I finally did it! Few minutes ago I thought that I was going to end up a cat and a golem food. Finally I've got you back where you belong: in my hands!', Harry exclaimed while brushing his fingers against the warm surface of the soul stone which shimmered with an immaculate glow.

'How can something this nice end up within the skull of such a disdainful full monster?' The rhetorical question he had asked had settled the mood into an awkward silence since it seemed that He was talking to himself on the outside.

[Are you falling in love with this stone already? I don't blame you since you are a virgin; you're desperately in need of love and affection. That's the reason why you're so desperate boy.]

'How does my virginity come to play in this situation? I'm Harry Crawford, I have never lost in an examination and since virginity is also some sort of test, I'm not going to lose either', Harry replied with his arms intertwined on his chest while pouting uncontrollably.

'I wonder if you are a virgin, dumb system. Wait does computers even engage in copulation?', he continued and bursted into an inevitable laughter after mocking the inquisitive system.

'You should take what you can chew next time, duffus.'

[I can sense an increase in your dopamine level]

[Are you excited because of the mere fact that computers can't copulate? I know I would have a harem within two days if I'm allowed to take full control over your body. You on the other hand will have to take more than a decade or an eternity to achieve that loser]

Harry's eyes were teary at the moment after he had been ridiculed by the system. His head hung low with a saddened expression on his face as he reminisced about how awful his love life had been. He knew that most boys his age were jumping from one girl to another but he wasn't even able to grasp one within his clutches.

[Oh, did I flick a switch? I'm sorry didn't know that you still cared about the girls. Mina right, wasn't she the same girl who had almost caused your death?]

Harry's heart ached a little when he had read the last part of the new message. The thought had crossed his mind a couple of times but he had decided to let everything slide due to the kind of love he had for the girl. What had happened was just a misunderstanding between him and the rest of the group. The only issue was the way Frank had reacted during the situation, that was what had caused the whole fuss.

[Harry, this world doesn't deserve your kindness. Mina did that on purpose, you are not supposed to let her go scot-free without any form of repercussions.]

[Wasn't she the one who tried to rip your hair from your skull? What you did was just an act of self defense. She knew that but she had decided to get you persecuted for no reason.]

'But I touched something important of hers', Harry had replied shortly afterwards with a sturdy voice.

[oh but that wasn't your fault. All you did was to try and prevent her from breaking some bones within her body. Can't you see that she had repaid your kindness with evil?]

The system tried to help Harry get over his meekness.

The soul stone within Harry's hand felt heavy in his hand all of a sudden. He couldn't understand what was going on but he had tried to hold onto the stone tightly since he didn't want what had happened not long ago to occur again.

The stone released a wave of energy into the atmosphere and Harry had felt energized when the energy had entered his body. A new message pop up on the system screen and It had caused Harry's saliva to choke him a little.

[5th grade soul stone identified]

[Does user want to absorb this soul stone]

[Yes or No]

Harry stared at the message for awhile but he didn't know what was going to happen to him after absorbing the stone. Thoughts of him exploding into tiny bits came into his mind. He simply shrugged the idea off since he knew the system wasn't going to allow such a thing to happen anyway.

He quickly tapped on the "Yes" button on the screen. Suddenly the energy found within the soul stone had been released in heaps and bounds towards his chest. The chaotic yet smooth energy seeped genty into his chest and warm sensation began to build up within his chest.

Harry held on to his sword in an attempt to remain ready when need be but instead some of the overwhelming energy had rushed through his body and was slowly making its way towards his sword. He stared at the sword with contempt and noticed that with more amount of energy it accumulated the more it glowed with a purple light. It had started as simple as just a flicker of light but it had slowly increased in both brightness and vigor. Harry's own body was going through the same ordeal as a golden light engulfed his body slowly leaving behind nothingness.

After several minutes of the nonstop absorption of the energy both the purple and golden energy had both been destroyed by an unknown force. Harry brought his sword closer to himself and could notice that the place where he had kept it had changed continuously during the night.

His sword which once looked like borrowed money had been used to purchase it now stood with a purplish glow which spoke volumes about the kind of stress he was passing through at the moment.

[The soul stone has been absorbed successfully.]
