Chapter 2 - Soulless

Soulless is a very tall young man with bronze skin, standing at about seventy-eight inches with a muscular lean build. His eyes were a vivid red color, his hair wavy snow white, with attractive facial features that gave him a unique appearance. 

The strong framed young man was born without a soul. Instead, he was born with The System.

Missions are now preparing... loading... missions are now available for commencement.

"The System gives me mission after mission, of course!" The exhausted young man sighed deeply while speaking to himself. "This some bullshit." 

Would you like to begin your daily quest?

An adult woman's voice became like an imaginary friend for the young man. Everything felt like a game that lasted a lifetime for him. Of course, the young man knew that it wasn't a game or dream. He also knew the voice only displayed in his mind, noticing as an infant that no one else could hear the voice in his head. 

A black screen with white words appeared above the young man's head. Three missions were given to him every day since he was a baby. He could even see dialogue from the voice from captions appearing towards the ground as if she were a game or movie. 

When he was younger, he learned to navigate through his system with a simple touch. 

He tapped workout mission with a gentle touch, opening a tab on the screen that displayed his workout routine. 

1000 pushups, sit-ups, 100 miles of running, and lifting for another 1000 reps. 

The System expected this much from him every day, since he was just a baby. 

There was a button that said confirm to begin, but the young man never pressed that button until he was old enough to begin. 

During his entire life, the young man utilized The System to grow stronger without spiritual prowess like the others. 

He defeated demons that contained demonic prowess but always declined The System of gathering their souls because The First Realm absolutely despised demons.

The First Demon Realm, a world of human sized animals is where the young man known as Soulless was raised. 

The skies were dark purple with black clouds that poured black rain a distance away, but the clouds were moving rapidly away him.

He wore an all black jacket that zipped up to his neck, slim fit black pants, and black casual dress boots. 

Soulless spent the last fifteen years of his life being raised by beings of The First Realm, working directly under Queen Midori as her personal assassin. 

Queen Midori, who had grown fond to him as he continued to age, held an intimate desire for the young man. She announced to her kingdom that he was the future king, preparing him for the leadership role ever since.

The young man was born as a child prodigy from Divine Gods, Kyouma and Valeur. But had no clue of his true identity after being abandoned within The Demon Realms. His father tossed him aside after birth, solely due to the fact that he contained no spiritual prowess. 

The baby was found at The Second Realm's entrance portal but was quickly transported to another realm with precautionary. The woman who found the child was thoughtful to send him somewhere safer, but there was no such thing as safe in The Demon Realms. 

No matter where he went in The Demon Realms, he was known as the child with no soul across each realm and Hell. 

He was given attributes in speed, strength, sense, intelligence, and stamina. Those five attributes helped him grow into the warrior that many never expected him to become. 

Due to his profound speed, power, and intelligence, Queen Midori felt it was crucial to utilize the young man to fight against foes and prevent warfare in The Demon Realms. He was placed on special missions with soldiers of The First Realm, and assigned to protect the land from a special threat known as The Stage. 

Soulless was just an infant when he noticed The Stage for the first time, visualizing the bloodshed of his companions clashing with it. Every single year, a man wearing knight gear appeared on a dragon and slaughtered many beings as they could until vanishing

He learned a few years down the line that every stage had a time limit, only staying for one week to kill many beings as possible. 

He participated in his first fight against the stage at the age of five, unleashing a speed like no child had ever displayed despite not having spiritual prowess like everyone else in The Demon Realms. 

At just the age of five, Soulless was already the swiftest fighter of The First Realm. The Stage was a deadly event that killed hundreds of people every year, until the young man joined their forces to fight against it.

The number of casualties decreased significantly every year as Soulless grew older and stronger. Still, The Dragon Knight arrived every year without being defeated. 

Ten years after his first battle against The Stage, he was nearing his sixteenth birthday with brute strength and speed that impressed all beings across The Demon Realms. 

He trained intensely every morning and night to accomplish his exercise missions on a daily basis. He decided that lifting buildings would help his strength, lifting for one-thousand reps every day for more skill points. He did five-hundred pushups and sit-ups in morning, then finished the other half before bed at night. 

He sprinted around town during the day to run his one hundred miles, boosting his attributes evenly every chance he could when the system awarded him with more skill points. 

Queen Midori made sure to send him on the most dangerous missions, giving him missions with her most powerful security guards anytime a new threat showed up. 

Soulless watched the black clouds fade towards The Second Realm while doing pushups when a new mission was ordered. 

The black screen popped up, and the woman's voice spoke to him. "New mission alert! Report to the portal gate."

Another mission... at this point it's a mission for me every damn day. 

The young man finished his last few pushups then dusted himself off. He dashed to the portal at full speed to arrive in a matter of of seconds. 

A wolf man Tito named and crab man that went by the name Jago was already at the portal. 

Soulless stretched as he usually done after working out. He asked. "So what's this mission about?"

Jago, lead security of the Queen, approached the young man with an intense spiritual essence. 

"You look even stronger than my last time seeing you, goddamn." Jago eyeballed the young man and examined his physique. "What are your attributes on now?"

"All five attributes have officially surpassed one-hundred, and the maximum cap has expanded to five hundred for all five of my attributes!" Soulless answered with excitement. "It's only taken me ten years to get this far..."

"You're just a kid... it'll be much easier as you continue to grow older. Just keep this up and you'll become the strongest being in history, even stronger than The Demon Lord. You know rumors say the demons will return to conquer this land..."

The most powerful spiritual energy being in history. The Demon Lord, Valeur.

"I'll be ready for him." Soulless replied with a confident smile. "What's our mission?"

Jago and Tito gave each other a quick glance. Both of them excited for the mission assigned by Queen Midori.

Jago gave the young man a friendly tap on the chest and said, "We'll be taking you out The Realms for the first time, so I hope you're ready Soulless! We're going to the land of the humans for a special assassin job for ya!" 

Land of the humans... my first mission outside of The Demon Realms. 

An uneasy nausea ripped through his body into his stomach. It was the agony of nervousness, a feeling that he'd never experienced before. 

"Land of the humans..." He repeated the words that dropped his heart into his stomach. Soulless asked. "Land of the humans? Are you serious?"

"Dead serious." Jago chuckled. He leaned closer. "Let's get to work!"
