Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - Waking up

[ System had been activated. ]

[ Integrated in 3…2…1. Done  ]

[ Bloodline awakening in 3….2…1. Done ]

Few days later, in the hospital bed, the unconscious Xiao Shen's eyes began to twitch and  finally woke up to reveal his eyes had turned into Crimson red with his pupil being crossed, and he observed his surroundings before grabbing his head feeling a painful headache. 

"How did I get in my room? I thought I was going to die earlier, but unexpectedly, I'm still alive."

He muttered to himself that he was still alive after the beating he got from the thugs. Xiao Shen is still shocked that he manages to keep up and even knocks every last one of them.

[ You are still alive, Master.]

Suddenly a little girl's voice in his mind startled him, still holding his head, having a hard time processing what just happened.

'Huh? Did I just hear something?'

[ I'm the one who spoke, Master! ]

A voice heard once again surprising Xiao Shen realizing he wasn't mistaken and there was someone talking in his head.

'Who are you? How are you able to speak into my mind?'

[I don't have a name yet, Master. Because I also just activated today.]

The little girl replied. 

[ Anyway, I am an AI bound to your system, Master. ]

Xiao Shen was shocked to hear that, he was speechless for a long time, then inwardly he muttered. 

'Ai? System? Am I dreaming? Isn't this situation like the novels I read a lot?'

He was expected to be reincarnated into another world like those Japanese stories. Though, he is still happy to be alive and even gain an AI. The AI ​​sighed softly and said.

[ You are not dreaming, Master. Right now me and the system are integrated into your soul. ]

Xiao Shen was certainly surprised by everything that was happening and his headache made it clear this wasn't a dream. He pondered where or who could have given him an AI.

'Who created you? Why did they give you to me?'

[ I cannot tell you, Master but how you got me is because of the necklace that been activated after your blood touch it. ]

His eyes went wide and tried to check if the necklace was still there but now it was gone. Xiao Shen at least knows where he got it from but is still anxious to have an AI. 

[ Please give me a name, Master. ] 

the AI ​​begged him to take Xiao Shen from his deep thoughts on what he needs to do after gaining an AI.

"Name, huh? Then I'll give you the name Xiao Xiao since it is always the name I wanted for my sister or daughter."

He never had family and always wanted one in the future. 

[ Accepted! From now on my name is Xiao Xiao. ] 

Xiao Xiao answered happily, causing Xiao Shen to smile softly, then saw a light, soon a small young girl hovering around him. 

'You can do that?'

[ Yes, Master after you name me had allowed Xiao Xiao to manifest but don't worry no one else can see me beside Master. ]

She flies around him, finding it quite adorable that he lightly chuckles.

'Anyway since you're an AI do you tell me your features?'

[ Of course, Master! ]

She flew back as a computer panel appeared before Xiao Shen eyes reading the features.

]

He was surprised that his able to go not only one bur 4 different worlds. Xiao Shen saw that it was cultivation world where young master are often seen and started to think about trolling them. 

'This is really amazing! I can't believe this is all real.'

He inwardly thought feeling his blood boils in excitement for the future. Xiao Shen eager to travel into those worlds soon but knew it's best if he train before going. 

'Can I go back and forth in those worlds?'

[ Yes, Master! You can even bring anyone you capture there bakc here if you wishes. ]

'You made is sound like I'm getting a harem?'

[ You will, Master! I will make sure of it! ]

'Hahaha alright.'

Xiao Shen thought she was just joking but didn't think that she's going to take it seriously and already thinking about who to add.

]

He quickly understood what he's able to do since their name are self exploratory. Xiao Shen pleased that his [ Bloodline ] gave him a lot of innate abilities. 

'So I can drain blood and their essence to get stronger huh? That might be useful in the future.'

Xiao Shen might not be able to kill human since his moral still prevent him from doing so. The skill still useful when his killing magical beast knowing those world will likely have beast to kill and acquire their core.  

[ Master there also a Starter pack, do you wish to open it? ]

'Sure, why not'

[ You have acquired Sacred Void (Immortal ]

At this point, Xiao Shen started to think that he might be too powerful seeing the rewards and before he could read the description heard the door creak turn to find a nurse saw him awake then followed by the doctor who was surprised to see him awake.

"Huhuhu, I'm glad you're finally awake young man. You might have a lot of questions and we will answer them all but for now let us examine your body."

The doctor was an old man that Xiao Shen immediately sensed to be trustworthy because of the effect from his [ Sky Saint ] bloodline. It would be extremely useful to know who to trust. 

His body then was checked and examined finding nothing unusual about him. The doctor was confused since from what he had heard the young man before him fought a group of thugs with knives and was laying in the ground with his close had numerous cuts yet didn't have single stab wounds or even a scratch. 

"So how is it doc?"

"You're perfectly healthy, which I find unusual since you don't even have the slightest wound from your body when we find you."

"Really!? How's that possible? I knew I was stabbed multiple times…."

He acted as if he was ignorant of his situation when Xiao Xiao was telling him what happened. The doctor shook his head still at the situation.

"Whatever happened, it's best left behind. You are lucky to be alive. For now you can rest."

"Wait, before you go. How were the two women that I saved? Were they the one who brought me here?"

"That's right, they are also the one who paid your bills."

He nodded softly, smiling that his sacrifice wouldn't have been in vain. Xiao Shen decided to lay back into his bed trying to assess the situation.
