Chapter 2 - Soulless

The child was born without a soul, but he was born with a system that spoke to him in the mind. 

"Missions are now prepared...loading...missions are now available for commencement."

An adult woman's voice became like an imaginary friend for the young man, but everything felt like a game that lasted a lifetime for him. Of course, the kid knew that it wasn't a game or dream. But he also knew the voice only displayed in his mind, noticing as a baby that no one else could hear the voice in his head. 

A black screen with white words appeared above the child's head, three missions were given to the young child despite being just a baby. He could even see dialogue from the voice; captions appeared towards the ground as if she were a game or movie. 

Although he was just a child born to the world, he could still navigate through his information with a simple touch. He tapped on the screen, selecting workout mission, opening a tab on the screen that displayed his workout routine. 

1000 pushups, sit-ups, 100 miles of running, and lifting for another 1000 reps. 

The system expected this much working out from a baby. There was a button that said confirm to begin, but the child never pressed that button and closed his system's screen.

A few years down the line, the young man utilized his game like system to grow stronger without spiritual prowess like the others. He defeated demons that contained demonic prowess but always declined the system of gathering their energy because The First Realm absolutely despised demons.

The First Demon Realm, a world of several different species of human sized animals, and the realm a young man known as Soulless was raised. The skies were dark purple with black clouds that poured black rain a distance away, but the clouds were moving rapidly away him.

Soulless is a very tall young man with bronze skin, standing at about seventy-five inches with a muscular lean build. His eyes were a vivid red color, hair spiky snow white, with attractive facial features that gave him an unique appearance. 

He wore an all black jacket that zipped up to his neck, slim fit black pants, and black casual dress boots. 

Soulless spent the last fifteen years of his life being raised by beings of The First Realm, working directly under Queen Midori as an assassin. 

He was born as a child prodigy from Divine Gods, Kyouma and Valeur. But the child had no clue of his true identity after being abandoned within The Demon Realms. His father tossed him aside after birth, solely due to the fact that he contained no spiritual prowess.

The baby was found at The Second Realm's entrance portal, but was quickly transported to another realm with precautionary. The woman who found the child was thoughtful to send him somewhere safer, but there was no such thing as safe in The Demon Realms. 

No matter where he went in the demon realms, he was known as the child with no soul across the realms and Hell. 

After a few years the baby had grown used to the system and pressed confirm to begin his mission, given attributes in speed, strength, sense, intelligence, and stamina. Those five attributes helped him grow into the warrior that many never expected him to become. 

Due to his profound speed, power, and intelligence, Queen Midori felt it was crucial to utilize the young man to fight against foes and prevent warfare in The Demon Realms. He was placed on special missions with soldiers of The First Realm, and assigned to protect the land from a special threat known as the stage. 

Soulless was just a baby when he noticed the stage for the first time, visualizing the bloodshed of his companions clashing with the stage. Every single year, a man wearing knight gear appeared on a dragon and slaughtered many beings as they could until vanishing

Soulless learned a few years down the line that every stage had a time limit, only staying for one week to kill many beings as possible. He participated in his first fight against the stage at the age of five, unleashing a speed like no child had ever displayed despite not having spiritual prowess like everyone else in the demon realms. 

At just the age of five, Soulless was already the swiftest fighter of The First Realm. His fighting abilities were put to use effectively immediately against the biggest threat of their realm. 

The Stage, a deadly event that killed hundreds of people every year, until the young man joined their forces to fight against it. He utilized points given to him for running and doing pushups, applying the points to boost his speed attributes. 

The number of casualties decreased significantly every year as Soulless grew older and stronger, but the Dragon Knight arrived every year as the stage without being defeated. 

Ten years after his first battle against The Stage, he was nearing his sixteenth birthday with brute strength and speed that impressed all beings across The Demon Realms. 

He trained brutally every morning and night to accomplish his exercise missions on a daily basis. He decided that lifting buildings from the realm would help his strength, lifting for one-thousand reps every day for more skill points. He did five-hundred pushups and sit-ups in morning, then finished the other half before bed at night. 

He sprinted around the demon realm during the day to run his one hundred miles, boosting his attributes evenly every chance he could when the system awarded him with more skill points. 

Queen Midori made sure to send him on the most dangerous missions, giving him missions with her most powerful security guards anytime a new demon threat from Third Realm showed up. 

Soulless watched the black clouds fade towards The Second Realm while doing pushups when a new mission was ordered. 

The black screen popped up, and the woman's voice spoke to him. "New mission, report to the portal gate."

Another mission...at this point it's a mission for me every damn day. 

The young man finished his last few pushups then dusted himself arrive, dashing to the portal at full speed to arrive in a matter of seconds. 

Two of the most powerful royal guards of Queen Midori, the wolf man Tito named and crab man that went by the name Jago were already at the portal. 

Soulless stretched as he usually done after working out, he said. "So, what's this mission about?"

Jago, lead security of the Queen, approached the young man with an intense spiritual essence. 

"You look even stronger than my last time seeing you, goddamn." Jago eyeballed the young man and examined his physique. "What are your attributes on now?"

"All five attributes have officially surpassed one-hundred, and the maximum cap has expanded to five hundred for all five of my attributes!" Soulless answered with excitement. "It's only taken my ten years to get this far..."

"You're just a kid...it'll be much easier as you continue to grow older. Just keep this up and you'll become the strongest being in history, even stronger than The Demon Lord. You know rumors say the demons will return to conquer this land..."

The Demon Lord, a demon rumored to be the conquer of universes and merciless to all forms of life.

"I'll be ready for them." Soulless replied with a confident smile. "What's our mission?"

Jago and Tito gave each other a quick glance, both of them excited for the mission assigned to them by Queen Midori.

Jago gave the young man a friendly tap on the chest and said, "We'll be taking you out the realms for the first time, so I hope you're ready Soulless! We're going to the land of the humans for a special assassin job for ya!"
