"What's on the next floor" Mikal began walking towards a table that was in the corner of the room
[The Next floor has monsters and you have to beat them all]
"How the hell am i going to win against monsters, i have no powers" Mikal touches the edges of the table as he rubbed dirt off them.
[First of All, Dumbass, You can always say "Status" and get your status window to see your skills and stats, and the first floor is only goblins, they are the easiest to kill and they will help you unlock your first skill]
"Oh, Well i guess that makes since, Ok Status Window" Mikal was sat on a dusty chair near the table with his arms crossed.
[Finally, Dumbass]
[Mikal Wells]
[Strength : 1]
[Speed : 1]
[Endurance : 1]
[Mana : 20]
[Intelligence : 30]
[Skills - Pure Soul(!)]
"What the hell are these stats, why are they so horrible, other than mana and my smarts, everything else sucks" Mikal face dropped realizing the hardship, he is gonna have to go through in the trials.
[Yeah, your cooked, Haha, Why don't you check out the skill, your the first to have a skill starting out, Haha]
"Yeah, Maybe that one will help me even with these trash stats" Mikal face lit up once again as his finger went to tap on the exclamation point beside his skill.
[Pure Soul]
[Rank - Legendary]
[Description - you are the first of your kind, a being of pure soul, you hate evil and wish that it never existed, you hate corruption and wish it never existed either, you also hate murder, you can't look someone in the eyes and kill them, you can't look anything in the eyes and kill it]
"Oh, so the thing i have to do in this trials is the one thing i can't do, Kill" Mikal face dropped once again, he was heavily disappointed that he was probably going to die.
[Well, Reread it again]
"I already read it once, i don't need to read it again" Mikal angered was heard through the room.
[Well, i was trying to tell you that it said, you can't look a creature in the eyes and kill it, all you got to do is study the monsters and then hit it in the weakness and run, after that it will die out]
"Wait, you're right, why didn't i think of that, This damn 30 in intelligence sucks" Mikal got up from the seat with a determine look on his face
[Well, you did think of it, remember, I'm another person but my thought process comes from you as well so i can if you allow me too, i can go in your head and see what your thinking and in the back of all that panic and feeling of defeat]
"Well, from now on i don't want you in my head" Mikal said kind of weirded out by the honesty.
[Ok, Entering your mind is turned off]
"System, Send me into floor one." Mikal declared with his hand out, waiting for the yes or no buttons to return so he can use them.
[You don't need to do all that, i can just directly send you since you said Yes]
"Seriously, Woah" he was cut off mid sentence by the pitch black that engulfed him as he stood their in a void of nothingness.
[Which weapon do you want to choose]
{Katana}
{Sword}
{Staff}
{Shield}
"I guess, katana, I mean my mana is high but high mana is useless without knowing any spell" Mikal began to calculate his best survival chances.
[Katana has been selected]
"This is nice, a white and golden handle" Mikal began looking the katana up and down as he put it back into its sheath.
[You have arrived]
"What but I'm still in the void, Oh i see i got to turn around" Mikal turned around to see a pathway, it was made of stone like it was same kind of cave.
"Raahh" a sound escaped the mouth of the only goblin that was their currently
'Not creepy at all'
"Come at me little man" Mikal taunted the goblin that was like three inches lower than him.
'For a goblin, it says i can't look them in the eyes when i kill them, so it means that i can at least stab them through the heart and turn around while it dies'
"Rahhh" The goblin ran towards Mikal with it's weapon.
"Take this you damn midget" Mikal sidestepped the goblin quickly shoving his sword into the back of the small creature with his eyes closed, but the sword nailed that goblin to the stone floor, as it slow choking continued to happen.
[Pure Soul has detected corruption in itself]
A white light radiated from his hands as it shot towards the goblin as the goblin began to heal from death.
"What the fuck, why did it come back to life" Mikal panics trying to grab the sword but was hit with a wooden club.
"ahh, damn it" Mikal said as the white cracks in his skin began to bleed.
'What the hell happened'
[Pure Soul has sensed corruption once again]
White light began to radiate from all of the cracks in his skin, as it hits the goblin.
[Pure Soul has turned corruption into loyalty]
"What the hell do you mean" Mikal asked as the white light dimmed down as he noticed the goblin that was once green had now been seemingly dyed white and it was bowing.
[I'm guessing that was what it mean by changing corruption to loyalty]
"Where the hell have you been, your telling me this Pure Soul skill is conscious" Mikal anger rose from his voice.
[Well technically speaking i was here but not, Pure Soul doesn't have a conscious, Its your Sub Conscious, pure soul is just you, every form of you, your darkest and lightest thoughts as well as your desires and dreams]
"So, i don't want to kill and it revived the thing and just changed its loyalty to me instead of the tower" Mikal felt relieved as he sat on the ground holding his beating heart.
'how fast my heart is beating actually feels nice'
A smile crept onto his face, it was a smile of delight, the adrenaline running through his body was nice, it felt nice as well, it felt like he could fly, and in this tower, their probably was a spell for that somewhere.
But he quickly noticed that even thought some of his thoughts were corrupted, they were honest and the pure soul skill was resonated within him.
