Eye System

Chapter 54: Plan

A skinny boy with long scruffy white hair was sat in a dark and dirty alleyway.

Withdrawing three pills all different shades of brown Lex places them all in his mouth at once. A food pellet, recovery pill and a mortal body tempering pill. All the energy surged through his body, recovering and strengthening his skinny and frail body.

He felt energy and vitality rush through his body as his frail body was getting rejuvenated as he sat cross-legged and already experienced in his previous life in cultivation; he had great control over energy and was streaming it through his body.

Digesting the energy by spreading it to every cell in his body and within minutes this body was in a better state than it has ever been in this life.

From this, he felt that his body was now able to rival an average person, compared to his previously weak and malnourished body. He also felt that a percentage of his energy didn't go into his body, but an unknown entity within his soul.

[System was some energy taken in by the Originator Eye Demon] asks Lex, knowing that he was in his soul.

{Ding, the Originator Eye Demon doesn't use energy and is you but isn't you at the same time so isn't a separate entity currently}.

[So, what is that thing within my soul that absorbed some of my energy] he exclaims within his mind, confused and slightly scared.

{Ding, there is no need to be scared, you while circulating the abundant energy and vitality in the pill, you subconsciously allowed it to flow through your soul which is the holder of your soul pet} announces to him the system.

Hearing this, it reminded him of what the system had announced to him while he was in the void, but at the time ignored it and wasn't in a situation to care.

[System what are soul pets and from what I remember in the void it was Ashura, so does that mean the blades are alive] he asks in confusion.

{Ding, Ashura is bound to the Originator Eye Demon for a reason that can't be told to you yet, and as this occurred it was bound to your soul as a soul pet which is an entity sealed within your soul that is now your pet like companion}.

As he heard this, he was excited to see what his soul pet would look like and was curious about who Ashura really is.

[System how do I summon my soul pet] he asks excitedly wanting to have a pet remembering how it was like to have Kano as a pet.

{Ding, the host must pull on the entity you can feel within your soul, similar to the way a beast power would be summoned in your past life}.

Following the instructions of the system, he felt that something left his soul and was still connected to his soul.

As he felt this sensation a small black bird began to form from thin air on his shoulder. It was a small black raven that was completely black apart from its red eyes.

"Ashura," he asks seeing the small raven on his shoulder.

The raven nods his head and replies with a squawk.

Lex pats his head and gets up off the floor.

"Well I am 14 and the awakening ceremony is today, so that means the entrance exam to the subsidiary Aria Academy in this city" he mumbles to himself.

The awakening ceremony would take place in the subsidiary academies and they would instantly take all those who they thought had potential or had a powerful power, and would hold an entrance exam on the next day and this happens every year.

Angela was a year senior because she was born at the end of the year before Lex was born in the beginning of the next year, which although that gap was only a few months, they had a year gap in the academy.

"I guess in this new life I can join an academy and will need to grind my way back up, but will never allow the same mistakes to occur twice" he mumbles.

Despite it being the best option for his current situation, he was hesitant to join an academy as it might slow down his progress and people will be curious about him and want to find out his secrets.

Walking out of the alleyway everyone was looking at the weird boy with long scruffy white hair and pitch-black eyes and a black raven on his shoulder.

He realised how weird it was to walk around with a black bird on his shoulder and retracts it back into his soul which went unnoticed by the passers who didn't pay any attention to the poor youth.

Lex after everything he had been through, although he knew compared to other powerful cultivators who lived hundreds of years it wasn't much, he still had enough experience to know just how cruel the world was and that only strength matters.

Ignoring all the weird looks he was getting he was going through the memories he had obtained in order to figure out a way for him to earn money in this world. There are 3 parts in every country, the outer area, inner area and the core area.

Currently, Lex is in the outer part of Aria country and knew that the closer to the centre, the more powerful the cultivators become and the more wealth and resources he will be able to obtain.

[If this is a different reality than there might be similarities] he thinks to himself within his mind.

"So that means Angela is here hiding from the Gama country royal family, but we are in Aria so it can't be completely the same, all I can hope is that I can get to Angela on this continent before she leaves" he mumbles to himself seeing similarities and differences between this life and his last.

However, there was one thing that he really needed right now was money. In his past life, he never had money and was always so reckless and never had the chance to live luxury.

"That's it" he suddenly exclaims jumping up while everyone just gives him a disgusted look in the bustling streets of the markets.

[I will become a mercenary, assassin and a hunter and as long as the person or thing I am killing wasn't good I would kill them while gaining combat experience through battle and getting money, it is a win for me and the world] he plans.
