2 Waking up from pain (2/2)
[Soul assimilation to new born attempt failed, unable to find a new born with requirements that match soul's criteria…]
[Summon method attempt failed, no available area which match requirements…]
[Host Body with matching requirements found, however damage is present…]
[System will take time to repair new body…]
[Host body has very little life force…]
[Initializing Life Restoration Protocol…]
[Initializing…]
[Until further notice, new soul....]
Words kept entering in his head, but he couldn't focus, the pain kept on getting intense as each moment passed, but held on to not pass out.
[Changes will be made to host body…Entering previous memories to the soul…]
Images and voices he'd never seen and heard before, came pouring in front of him until he was blind, and then everything turned dark again…
---
At the same time…
Red Rock Valley, one of the few mining area, with abundant treasures with its own natural beauty, however because of the constant excavation of Red Iron from generations, had exhausted its resources, and destroyed the beautiful natural formations.
Now it's an abandoned valley, but because it was one of the few large territories in the province, the Naga's have yet to relinquished there ownership.
THUMP!!!
Instead of having the bones crushed from the fall, it was cushioned from the dozens of bodies underneath it.
Harrison had been using these two for over several years, and because of the recent killings every week, only made the location fill up with more corpses.
Since no guards were present to stop them, they're not aware of the location that had accumulated the bodies was a territory of the Naga's, and these two always come here to drink after using the money they earned from each job.
It was because of these two, the pile of bodies had become the size of a small hill if not for Veritas, that had been going out of control for months.
The bodies below would be a pile of bones leaving Stigma's body to be unable to heal if he survived.
Fortunately, the bodies were enough to only cushion the fall, not stop it.
BUMP!!!! BUMP!!!!BUMP!!!!
THUMP!!!
Finally the body landed in the end of a tunnel, breaking the rope holding the mat in place, and in the process exposing a figure.
The body was Stigma, more accurately it was the corpse of Stigma, visible blood was dripping from his head not moving even an inch.
*Creeaaak*
All of a sudden, the sound of doors opened by the side.
A low humming tune from a flute can be heard, who played it was a beauty with a thick, white veil covering her face.
Under it was skin pale, yet was clean as snow without a blemish or even make-up seen, her eyes were golden pure with black iris, that would drive any man, mad for her directed attention.
Her face didn't show a smile or boredom, but that of a sullen expression.
Her raven like hair reaches to her feet, dragging along as she walks.
What she wore on her, was a white, long sleeve gown with embroideries, depicting a moving river and as her dress sways, it gives of the image was real, with her no accessory can be seen, no rings, bracelets nor a headdress.
Her overall appearance can only be describe to four words, a beauty in mourning.
She then stopped playing and looked around, and saw Stigma's corpse.
Slowly she walked toward it and kneeled, she closed her eyes then chanted a mantra, she whispered 'I was too late to save this child… You have lead a poor life, may your fate change with this.'
A ball of light came from the doors, and flew towards the corpse when she walked away, towards the door of light, as she played her flute, her figure disappeared behind the closing doors.
The corpse of Stigma laid there for a few moments, until the small ball of light entered the body.
”Ah!!!” at that moment the corpse yelled in pain, Cheng Xuan was reborn as Stigma.
[Damage still present, System will provide repairs to the body until proper assimilation…]
Before he could speak, a burning sensation suddenly came to him.
The pain can be described as having continuous second degree burns, his skin was facing intense amounts of heat, and he had felt this before, it was when he was cooking for the first time and spilled boiling oil on his leg by accident, and yet this seemed endless.
His bones creaked.
His pain grew more intense after each breath, but because he couldn't move to embrace his body, he can only clench his teeth to the endless torture.
His body, flailing from the heat and pain, started to shed blood from his pores.
Before he noticed, his body started changing, his current body that was once covered in cuts and bruises started to heal leaving no scars, his hair that was green turn black with a hue of silver, his eyes that were grey started to change black, what was left of his fat started to shrink, like he was experiencing rapid starvation.
Inside his body, the bones that were broken started to mend to the proper positions, his organs that were damaged from the sharp bones piercing them were being repaired.
The toxins that were in his body from before started to focus in his stomach, and started to boil, making him regurgitate in the process.
One after another, pain after pain, he finally had enough and screamed.
”FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! WHY DID I HAVE TO WAKE UP FROM PAIN OF ALL THINGS! CAN'T I WAKE UP BEING EMBRACED BY A BEAUTY INSTEAD OR IN FIELD WITH A DOZEN BEAUTIES BATHING IN A WATERFALL!!!”
The pain continued for about an hour, before he could pass out and check his surroundings…
*BING!*
