Reborn in bleach as a hollow with a system

4 – New Life?

'So what's up with this bullshit tanky build? I'm not putting up with that kind of crap. I need to address this.' Hisashi said indignantly at the reveal of his stats.

'Uhm system, could you give me a reference for these stats? It's kind of useless as is.' he asked the system.

[Answer: A regular human would roughly have 1 point for each stat on average]

'So that means I'm like super powerful now right?' he asked excitedly, you could almost see the twinkle in his beady bug eyes.

[Answer: Only when compared to regular humans or pluses. Compared to anything else host is extremely weak due to the complications experienced during hollowfication. Even a non-seated Shinigami fresh out of the academy could easily destroy you currently. For clearer reference Kurosaki Ichigo before even unlocking his Shinigami powers had a Spirit Power of 10 which though unlikely would still be enough to be considered a potential hazard to your current self. Meanwhile Ishida Uryuu would be able to annihilate you in a single shot.]

'Damn. Is there no good news?' he asked rhetorically.

[Answer: Negative]

'Really?' he became dispirited as he responded.

[Answer: Though host is currently extremely weak thanks to the Hollow System host has no barriers in his growth, if host continues to absorb spirit power, devour souls and complete missions unlike other Hollows host is guaranteed to reach Vasto Lorde or more without any bottlenecks or dead ends in the progress. Unlike other spiritual beings host is also able to guide his growth through the use of stat points gained through levelling and missions allowing him to branch on other pathways rather than being stuck on a predetermined path. Finally through the system host is also able to complete missions and gain skills unusual or even unavailable to other hollows. Finally the conversion of spirit power and devoured souls is far more efficient with the assistance of the system allowing for much faster growth than your regular every day Hollow.]

'Well I guess that's finally some good news at least if I can survive that long.' he muttered to himself.

'Wait speaking of survival wasn't Aizen snooping on everyone there when I got attacked by White? Aren't I absolutely fucked?' he suddenly realised.

[Answer: Host was lucky, due to the process of hibernation and merging the host's soul appeared to have disintegrated after the attack. Aizen is likely to believe host failed the hollowfication and instead died as a result.]

'What's so lucky about hibernating for 10 years?' he grumbled at the system.

'Well by now Ichigo should have been born already so at least Aizen should have moved on from Naruki City to Karakura Town now that 10 years have passed and shouldn't have the time to be peeping around here anymore. I can't let him notice me yet or I know he is going to be using me in all sorts of fucked up experiments until I'm either one of his little slaves or there is nothing left to experiment on.' he tried to think optimistically.

'At the same time I can't be eaten by other hollow or caught by Shinigami, with my current strength those would be an instant game over and I don't know if I'll make it through a third death.' he worried trying to think of contingencies to prevent himself getting caught and ones for if he does get caught.

'Okay first off I can't be caught so this tanky bullshit has got to go. System put all my available stat points into dexterity.' he had decided on his first few steps. He would need to survive and there is no better way to survive than the ability to attack quickly and run even quicker huge bug body be damned.

[Answer: Affirmative host's dexterity has been upgrade by 5 to 7]

'That's more like it.' he said then quickly tried to run around the pond only to find out he had really become about 3 times as fast as he was before. He was running like a bug out of hell. He was a giant bug the size of a car running at the speed of a car downtown. It was quite exhilarating.

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw what seemed to be the spirit of raccoon, wait it's Japan so probably a tanuki. Before it has a chance to respond he dashes over to it, his four legs in overdrive before chomping down the whole thing in one gulp. It didn't even realise what had happened before it was all over.

[Mission: Devour 100 animal spirits 1/100]

[XP: 1/10]

'Sorry little guy, but it's either you or me now and it definitely isn't going to be me. Just gotta keep this up. I guess this is my new life for now whether I like it or not.' he reassured himself.

That was the night mysteriously all animal spirits in this small neighbourhood park were ruthlessly exterminated. No need to thank him though.

[Mission: Devour 100 animal spirits 10/100]

[XP: 10/10]

[Level Up]

[+1 Available Stat Points]

"Sweet!" he yelled out, but it sounded like a hollow roar so he quickly shut up afraid he might attract attention. Thankfully he was lucky and it didn't seem anyone with sufficient spiritual power was around.

'Ok pump it into dexterity.' he made sure to just think again.

[Answer: Affirmative host's dexterity has been upgrade by 1 to 8]

He looked at himself in the pond again and it seemed like he had become slightly more streamlined, though not much.

'Still a beetle after all I guess. You can call me Volkswagen now though!' he chuckled at his own corny joke. Ah his little sister would have definitely given him a sympathy laugh. This thought quickly dampened his momentary mirth.

"Reina...I've been a failure of a brother." he mumbled to himself. He looks at the reflection in the water again and shakes his head.

'Ok this park has been fully exhausted and it isn't like larger animals are constantly dying in the park. It'll be a while before the grocery store is restocked. What now?' he asked himself.
