Chapter 391: Kulas (1/2)
”BOINK!” the motorcycle floated in the air before it ravaged the bumpy soles of the road upon its descent. But the rider, an 18 year old boy named Kulas, minded not of its dangers.
There was only one thing on his mind and that was the words of his first girlfriend earlier. The two of them were finally going to do the deed tonight. After months of trying, Alana ultimately said yes.
”I need to shave and drink at least two bottles of mouth wash. Perhaps even take a bath 3 times when i get home.” Kulas thought excitedly.
”BROOM!” at a curve and at a moment's impatience, he overtook a vehicle to save time. The blind spot was seemingly safe in one breath but an instant later, all of his happy emotions scattered to parts unknown.
”BEEEEEEEEEEEP!” an ear shattering noise greeted Kulas and the next thing he knew, the world turned in circles around him.
”Truck-kun? Why did you have to appear in the most exciting day of my life? Alana...” The last seconds of his life had only brought bitterness and immeasurable regrets in his heart.
”Unlimited Realms System Initializing...”

”Where am I?” Kulas asked himself as he tried to get acquainted with his surroundings. Unfortunately, he succeeded in the act for only a few breaths and not a second more.
”AHHHHHHH!” an extreme headache came upon the boy and it seemed that his skull would explode with the intensity of the pain he was suffering.
He would have expected for his voice to rise into a deafening roar or some kind but alas, his expectations failed him, yet again.
Only a hoary moan came out from his cracked lips and it was also at that time that he realized yet another suffocating truth.
”GRAWRRR!!!” his empty stomach rumbled as the acids within tried to digest not food but that of his own intestines, it felt.
Kulas was in a world of pain and there was no respite coming his way for what seemed like eternities for him.
”H - help...” he tried to mouth the words out but could only hear a whisper that would serve only the bugs near his mouth and none the good samaritans of his dreams.
When all else appeared bleak and hopeless, it was at this time that a voice from the depths of his soul awakened his attention in a clear and direct manner.
This meeting of sorts would start a partnership that would last along the eras, epochs, and eons that would come to pass from here on out.
”100 percent…” a female announced in the ears of the suffering boy.
”Unlimited Realms Successfully Assimilated.” she added.
”Greetings, host. You seem to be in a lot of hurt. Hmmm... How may i be of service?” and after a minute pause, the woman's delicate voice asked in a rather intelligent tone.
”Help me.” was what Kulas wanted to say but...
”HAK!”
”HAK!”
”HAK!” only throat wrenching coughs subdued the words out as he was literally coughing his lungs out in the process. It was a messy and bloody ordeal indeed.
”I'm sorry, master. But as a System Spirit, I am not allowed to directly give aid to the host.” the female replied as though she could hear the boy's thoughts even amidst his painful coughing.
