The Cursed Soul System

Chapter 21 "The Story Before the Depression of Conflict"

In the darkness of the night in the silence of the Pinusi Forest, the wind that blows slowly between the trees and rocks makes the atmosphere in the region so peaceful.

The fight to maintain the cave of protection is finally finished, seen Brain walking closer to an unknown person whose condition looks very sad.

The smell of charred flesh due to burns and open wounds that were visible almost all over the body of the mysterious person made Brain who saw him feel a little pity, imagining how much suffering he was before death picked him up.

"It's a pity that I didn't get any information" Brain said to himself. "The magic was terrible, I was so lucky that only a single hair was taken"

The use of level 95 Curse Magic magic. King Gambling Curse that has a risk after its use turned out to only make Brain lose a strand of his hair, but it was just a lucky thing because if not lucky Brain could have lost his head.

(Notifications. The magic you use has a 60-day cooldown)

Hearing that information, Brain thought that he would no longer use the magic before he could make the Soul Title of his Soul System evolve.

Observing the surroundings, Brain then uses his detection abilities to ensure there are no more intruders around the protection cave.

After ensuring the safety around him, Brain who was still standing near the corpse of the mysterious person, then saw some items left by the person.

"It's a good sword" Brain said

Shortly after Brain held the great sword and said that, he suddenly could see the table of information.

[Bliksem Groot Zwaard ]Flight Magic Attributes

"Hey Simi what am I seeing here"

(Answering. That is information about the status of the sword you are holding)

"Why can I see something like this now"

(Responding to. the ability you just got)

"Wait, if every defeat a strong opponent I will gain new abilities"

(Answering. It is unknown)

"That's how it is, then is there any other ability I've gained"

(Answering. There is none)

Hearing the information Brain was quite made happy, yes then took some more items from the body of the mysterious person.

[Verborgen Mask _Usefull - Can hide identity - Can hide magic energy]

Knowing the Item that he was holding, Brain finally realized why he could not see the status of information from the mysterious person.

[Necklace Adelaar & Uses - Gives the ability to fly like an eagle]

"So this is what makes it fly so fast" Brain said after seeing the status of the item it was holding.

[Schildpad Barrier & Usability - Can make barrier [Building Class]

"Is this item that created the barrier earlier"

(Answering. That's right)

"Then what was the meaning of the Cage Class" As he asked that, Brain then stored all his loot into his Treasure Storage Portal

(Answering. The barrier is divided into 3. Bracket Class. Restraint Class. Ruler Class)

Amidst the chat Brain and Simi the System, Jerome then came out of the cave.

"When his enemy.."

Jerome had not yet finished his speech, yes who had been near Brain then realized the body of someone was nearby and there Jerome can also smell charred meat.

"Thank God you're okay" Jerome said. "Who do you think did this" Jerome asked.

"It's probably from the association and what Daria said about Hendry's suspicions of an intruder in the liberation force, it's true" Brain said.

Hearing these words, Jerome then invites Brain to return to the cave and when they get inside, the exhausted Brain decides to rest.

***

The next day in the shelter, the refugee children were seen playing games, but in the joy of the children was stored a bad.

Having a Soul System, refugee children consider children who do not have a Soul System as carriers of bad luck.

"Based on you unlucky bearers, if you weren't born in this world, we wouldn't be in this place"

"Truely, all this mess is caused by you"

"Well that's right, you better just die"

The sound of many bully children made Brain feel very disturbed, he then came out of his tent and saw what the children were doing.

These kids, they shouldn't do that.

While looking at what the children were doing, Brain thought about it. And then he rebuked what the kids were doing.

"What are you kids doing" Brain asked politely.

Seeing Brain, the girl in the bully immediately ran towards him.

"Brain, they're evil" said the girl in tears.

"Hey uncle, don't get close to the child, you can get sick later" said one of the bully's children.

Hearing the words and seeing the behavior of the refugee children, makes Brain a little emotional, but he realized if committing acts of violence against children is not allowed.

"Sisters, you must not say that, just because you do not have a Soul System, does not mean you have to hurt it" Brain said.

"But uncle, look at his body, very thin and covered in wounds" said another bully's son.

"As long as you know, I didn't have the same Soul System as him before either" Brain said as he held onto the shoulders of the girl victim of bullying. "What you guys think about him, it's all wrong, he's just late to get his Soul System" Brain added.

"That's right kids, you can't be hostile, let alone hurt each other, try to make friends.okay" said a young woman walking up to them.

"Sister Riane, but right." said a bully's son.

"Have you forgotten your promise not to be naughty" Riane said.

Hearing the remark, the compact bully children apologized and after that they left and went back to play.

"I'm sorry for the children's behavior" Riane said as she approached Brain.

It smells good, it smells good.

Thinking about it, Brain seemed to be out of focus, until he realized when Riane thrust her hand to get acquainted.

"my name is Riane Klein"

Riane Klein is a beautiful young woman of 23 years old, she has a Soul System with Academic class level 43 and her job as a School Teacher. Her long blonde hair with ombre hairstyle made her look like a very loving teacher.

"My name is Brain Righet" Brain replied Nervously.

Not yet had time to get acquainted further, Jerome then came and invited them to breakfast.

***

The atmosphere of togetherness in the cave of protection makes Brain feel very happy, breakfast with the closest people reminds him when he was in the outcast district with Robbert and others.

After finishing Breakfast, Brain planned to go directly to Himaya region. After saying goodbye to the people there, Brain then went to Jerome.

"So you're leaving" asked Jerome.

"Well, I'll go" replied Brain

"Remember Brain, if it's true that the attack on the central district is done, focus, don't think of us here, don't force yourself"

Hearing Jerome's words, Brain recalled Robbert's figure who was always worried about him.

"This is an item I got from a mysterious person before" Brain said as he passed the item Schildpad Barrier to Jerome.

"This is an item that can create a barrier" Jerome said.

"It's true" Brain said

"With this item I think the security of the cave can be even better" Jerome said

Finished with all that conversation, Brain finally set out for the depths of conflict.
