Chapter 7 - soul chain

Adrift in a boundless expanse, a dark abyssal void stretching beyond his sight. The faint twinkle of numerous stars shone across the place

 

~Where exactly is this place?

~Wait, is this that soul chain thing the shackle was taling about? ~

[you are now completely shackled].

Ominous as the voice maybe, what was even more ominous was the content of its words. But as Levi was about to dwell on the matter, he saw three small, dimly glowing orbs appear out of nowhere, one orb glowing bright white light expanded to a incredibly massive size. The central orb swelled, its brilliant light intensifying like a miniature sun. Around it, two smaller orbs—no bigger than peas—whirled in a dance. one traced horizontal paths, the other twirled diagonally, weaving across like miniature satellites .

These smaller orbs were also of varying sizes among themselves. Both of the smaller orbs begun to move around their much larger counterpart at a moderate speed, not too fast and yet not too slow... they moved in a circular path at different distances apart. This whole scene piqued Levi's curiosity, and he tried peering into the bright central stationary orb fully expecting to be blinded by the bright light. Contrary to his expectations though, he could see and in fact he could see quite clearly inside of it. He could see multiple lines and symbols. floating in a seemingly aimless manner, but as he looked further, they started to form words, at least he thought they were words. But they were in a language he had never even glimpsed at. He already had difficulties reading normal text and now, he was presented with some weird alien text. Against all reason, the alien symbols began to make meaning to him even though Levi couldn't even read or write back at Ashwood. The words read:

[name: Levi]

[Rank: unranked]

[Attributes:]

[Titles: <(Nephilim: Belonging to both the sacred and profane. A being of two worlds yet accepted by none)>]

[legacy:< (Krag)>]

[Nothing]......

As Levi glanced over this part of the info, something caught his eye. The word krag. That was one he doubted he could ever forget. Memories of the thrashing and mauling he had been dealt by the Krag resurfaced to his mind. But then, something unexpected happened. The smaller of the two dimly glowing orbs suddenly lit up with a furious red glow. This prompted levi to change his focus to it. He stared at it and as expected he could see a bunch of symbols inside this orb too. They again formed words which read

[A creature whose life was filled with hunger and torment, its only respite being the carnal pleasure of tearing through flesh. Brought to an end by it's detestable prey]

[nothing received for slaying krag]

After reading through the words, Levi was sure that it was talking about the krag that he had previously killed.

~Didn't it earlier say that I have received a reward or something? Why is it now contradicting itself? ~

 Levi pondered on these questions a bit more then decided to continue reading the text in the larger central orb. It continued,
