"Are you willing?"
"Yes, I am."
"Very well then, this is the first and last time we'll be meeting. Remember, you are the only one in this entire multiverse who has the power of Fateless. Your actions, will affect the lives of many, depending on how you use your powers."
"Wait, I've...got something to ask you. Is this true? Um, you're not trying to trick me into accepting evil and becoming corrupt or something like that? Are you?"
"You little.....fine, it's not like that. The question is why the he*k did you come to me? You're supposed to be going to the powers of light. But, I guess having you isn't all that bad, maybe...."
"Maybe?"
"You little fart, shut your stinky mouth! I'm the one supposed to be asking questions!"
"Why should I? You said right now that you can't do anything to me because I'm a fateless."
"Piece of sh*t, you didn't have the courage to even stand up to those guys and you even committed suicide! Now that you know you're fateless, you're acting like a fu*king boss."
"Shut up, old geezer." said a young man, or rather, the spirit of a young man.
There was an old man standing opposite him. The old man was wearing a suit which would crackle once in a while with small black flames springing up all over it. The young man was wearing dress which said "I'm the Don, Babe". His thin and frail appearance as well as his dress gave one the image that he was delicate. His entire appearance would dim once in awhile indicating that he was a spirit. This young man is called Ye Chen.
Unable to withstand the bullying of those rich second-generation brats, he slit his own wrists in hope to die peacefully (he's got a rent of 2000 yuan to pay, though). He then felt that he was falling into an abyss when he suddenly was pulled out of that illusion only to find an old man standing in front of him. The old man then explained to him that he was a fateless person. Apparently, fateless people can change and affect everything around them. He then made a deal with the old man to accept something called the D.A.R.K System.
"Hey, kid. I hope to meet you when you become an immortal."
"Oh sur- WAIT, what? I can become an immortal?"
"Yeah, if you work hard enough, I guess."
"How many fateless have become immortals?", Ye Chen asked. He was excited that maybe he could have a chance of becoming like those guys in wuxia novels.
"....."
"How many?"
"...zero..."
"Yes! I knew that I wa-FU*K you old man!", he cursed.
{DING! D.A.R.K System has bound with host Ye Chen}
{System has analysed that host has a habit of swearing incessantly. System asks host to refrain from doing this in presence of Administrator Hundan}
"SYSTEM! The hell! A**hole? Where?!", he asked, looking around. The old man's face was slowly turning red. Then it dawned on him. "You're Hundan? Ha! What kind of parent would name their kid that?" he asked laughing.
"FU*K OFF", the old man roared.
{DING! System has fully bound to host. Punishment for swearing will be given now}
"AAAAH!IT HURTS! FU*K! THE HELL IS THIS?"
A pain as if a million needles were piercing into him could be felt by him. When he cursed, the pain seemed to have intensified with each curse.
"FINE! AAH! OWW!OWWW!OWWWW! I WON'T CURSE. I PROMISE!!"he yelled.
The old man still seemed to have not recovered from the insult just now. He simply said "Get out" and everything, including the unending darkness where they were conversing in disappeared.
He woke up.
Blood was still on the floor of the bathroom. However, the part were he slit himself seemed to have healed. Blood had stopped flowing out and it was only dripping lightly now.
{DING! System has detected that host has suicidal tendencies. In order to prevent the pain of death, system has decided to award host with Self-Healing}
{DING! System's auto-upgrade function has been fully activated. Therefore, Self-Healing has been upgraded to Immortal Regeneration}
Ye Chen simply stared at what appeared to be in front of him. He reached out to touch what he seemed to see, only to find out it was in his head. Shock of everything being real, including the dream, seemed to have stunned him. Then, as if to make sure that it was real, he took the blade that he used to cut his wrists and slit it again.
Blood had only started to ooze out when suddenly the entire wound disappeared.
He realized that he finally became what he wanted to become- A man who could rise further than anyone else.
He thought in his mind "MENU"
Then:-
Host- Ye Chen
Skills-Analysis, Mathematics, History, Comprehension of Languages, Science, Technology, Sports, Emperor of the night, Perseverance, Will, Killing Intent, Power, Strategy, etc.(All Average)
Abilities-Immortal Regeneration
Physical-6%
Mental-2%
Social-0%
"System, can current stats be upgraded?" he asked.
{DING! Host's physical state has been upgraded to 100%}
{Mental State-100%}
{Social State-100%}
{Due to host being fully upgraded, system has decided to provide host with Power Body, Excellent Memory & Trust Factor}
{DING! Power Body, Excellent Memory & Trust Factor have been upgraded to Immortal Body, Unlimited Memory & Social Manners}
{Hosts other abilities have all been upgraded to full. Branch Abilities such as Hacking(Technology), Mind Kill(Killing Intent & Will), Stalking(Emperor of the night), Parkour(Sports) etc. have been added}
{Host now has the ability to destroy any entity at will}
{DING! Host level has reached expected level and reward "Dark Blade" will be given along with Blade Skills}
{Blade Skills is upgraded to Blademaster}
All of this happened in a single second and Ye Chen felt an unlimited amount of knowledge settle inside him. He collapsed inside the bathroom and hit the floor. Along with this, his body seemed to be burning and freezing at the same time.
The pain stopped.
He got up and wondered "What happened to me?"
"My body seems to have become more sturdy. I can see and sense every moment within this school." He stood and accidently glanced to the mirror across him.
"This... this is me?" he asked loudly.
He felt that he could solve any and every problem in this world. It was then he closed his eyes. He imagined going to the cafeteria and then.....
A crystal clear image of the cafeteria appeared in his mind as if he was standing there.
"Hey, aunty, I'll take the riceballs."
"Did you hear about the new game that came out?"
"Do you want to come to my home tonight?"
Every conversation could be heard by him. Every moment could be seen. Yet, none could see him. This was his beginning. The beginning of the Dark Emperor.
He ran out of the bathroom. Nearly every student was in the cafeteria.
"I need to go home now", he thought.
