The Cursed Soul System

Chapter 9 "The Forgotten History"

After Brian defeated the monster boss of the Dungeon Dimensional Portal, yes and Sheila went straight back to the cave and reported it to Jerome, then since it was already night they decided to instantly rest.

It was known, all the events that Brain had gone through, from facing a herd of monsters, then fighting a Dimensional Dungeon Portal Boss, it happened within 1 day.

The next day, Sheila returned to her duties as a scout and Brain remained in the cave with Jerome discussing about the Dimensional Dungeon Portal Boss before.

"I still didn't expect you to beat the Portal boss" Jerome said

"That monster, has a weak defense, that's why I didn't get into trouble while facing it" Brain said.

"I'm so grateful you're here, then what do you want to do now" asked Jerome.

"If you don't mind I want to stay here" Brain replied.

"I don't mind, besides you being here, it's going to help us a lot" Jerome said.

"Oh yeah, there's something I want to show you"

Saying this, Brain then took his backpack and showed the documents in the bag.

Reading the document, Jerome was very surprised, in the document it was written about a drug called System Trigger. The drug is none other than the same drug that has been taken by Brain.

"What's in this document, makes me certain about the reason they attacked the outcast district" Jerome said.

Hearing this, Brain became curious, yes then asked the intent of Jerome.

"Do you know about the Liberation association" asked Jerome.

"Well, I found out from that document, those in charge of opening up new territory right" Brain said.

"It should be their job, but since 100 years ago their movement to open a new territory has not been done anymore"

"Do they lack people" asked Brain.

"No, quite the contrary, even of the three existing associations, the Liberation association has the most members"

"What's the reason they didn't do it, isn't it very useful" Brain asked again.

"The reason they did not do so, according to this document, is none other than that they wanted to monopolize life in the Himaya region"

"What do you mean, how do they do it" asked Brain.

"Actually all of this is because of the Soul System, everyone can be anything with the Soul System and it can't be controlled"

"I don't understand, it should be good for survival"

"To reclaim the earth from dimensional portal beings, the Soul System is indeed very useful, but the Soul System cannot eliminate the selfish and greedy nature of humans"

"Sorry Jerome, I can't understand it yet"

"Well, I'll tell you why all this happened and why the exiled district had to be destroyed"

After Jerome said that, he began to tell all his knowledge about history that began to be forgotten.

"After humans obtained the Soul System in 2197, it took approximately 50 years to get the territory that could be occupied properly"

"At that time, the human race was no more than 1 million people and 90 percent of them were warriors who possessed the Soul System and the remaining 10 percent were smart people who did not have the Soul System"

"At that time the area obtained was not too large and because of that the previous people or those users of the Soul System of the first generation finally decided to open more new territory"

"The time it took was not much for them to open up new territories, along with it the second generation of those with the Soul System was born"

"With the new territory acquired, does not make those who at that time lived happily"

"All of that is due to the absence of good management in taking care of needs such as food, health and all other life support concerns"

"Sorry Jerome, I think with the Soul System things like that can be overcome" Brain said.

"Even though man has a Soul System, it does not make all work doable, all of it known after those first generations tried to do work beyond what they had programmed"

"What do you mean the Soul System has flaws" asked Brain.

"As I've said before, they're first generation, their Soul System has been programmed to become soldiers, back then after gaining territory, they're trying to do agricultural activities"

"The work they do goes very slowly even failures often occur and the reason all of that can happen, because their Soul System that has been in the program becomes a warrior, and the reason all of that can happen is because their Soul System has been programmed to become a warrior, their bodies and minds cannot be controlled while doing work beyond what has been programmed"

"I see now, to be honest when I haven't obtained a Soul System, I'm very proficient at using a cane, but after obtaining a Soul System and obtaining a magician class, I'm very good at using a wand, my body seemed to be uncontrollable while trying to play the stick" Brain said.

"That's the lack of the Soul System, you can't do any other work outside of what your Soul System has programmed"

"But there are actually some people who can do the job or have more than one skill and it's still a mystery, the reason why those people can get the ability"

"So well, then how about I force myself to do things outside of my skills" Brain asked

"The worst chance the Soul System will err and your brain will explode"

Hearing this, Brain could not imagine it.

"Then what does this have to do with all that, why should the exiled district be destroyed" Brain asked.

"Before answering it, we go back first when the first generation found out if the Soul System has flaws"

"Alright, please continue I think this will be an important knowledge for me in the future" Brain said passionately.

"When the Soul System is known to have shortcomings, at that time also the second generation in the process of growth, at that time there was no such thing as a baby born without a Soul System to be exiled, he said, although physical and psychic they are very weak"

"At that time experiments and experiments were carried out again, where the second generation born with the Soul System began to be taught various things by their parents who managed to survive without the Soul System"

"From that experiment, they were born the second generation who had a Soul System with other programs or skills that are now known as classes"

"The second generation that first got the class was a 15-year-old boy, who was the first to have a working class"

"As time went on other working-class children sprang up, they were then re-given with other knowledge that eventually came into being something that the first generation did not have"

"What the next generation gets is information level and special skills or jobs, where from the working class comes jobs such as farmers, chefs, miners and others"

"Wait for Jerome, what's in the first generation status window" Brain asked.

"The new Status window is known after the second generation is born., and the reason is unknown, but scientists at the time concluded that it was because when they tried to develop the Soul System in the first generation they also mixed some of the knowledge they took from the creatures that came from the Dimensional Portal"

"Well I understand, please continue" Brain said.

"The growth of the second generation with all the new abilities and skills they have, in the end humans began to regain a prosperous life"

"Actually the second generation does not merely create happiness, they also create injustice, where from here arises the name of social status"

"It all happened after a new class called academic class emerged, from there was born jobs such as, entrepreneurs, traders, scientists and others, from here humans began to re-group"

"From their later recreates the currency and by using it, they then monopolize the knowledge for themselves. Simultaneously, the third generation was born, then they began to control the class-taking process of the children who had the Soul System"

"Not only that, exactly 100 years ago they made rules to control the population and various other rules that make social inequality worse"

After saying that Jerome then retrieved the documents that were on the table.

"From what is written in this document about the System Trigger drug and everything I have described, the reason they destroyed the Bungan district was none other than to control the population and control the users of the Soul System who grew up if the medicine was successfully channeled into the waste district"

Hearing all of Jerome's words, Brain who began to understand the situation that occurred in human territory, then anger arose in his heart to destroy all injustice.

"Did Robbert never tell me this" asked Jerome

"Never"

After Brain said that, Sheila suddenly came and told him about some people who were seen approaching their cave.

"I hope they are not enemies, just in case, Sheila told the others, be prepared for the worst"

After saying that, Jerome and Brain then headed to the mouth of the cave.
