Emerging from the shadows of a petrified forest stood a newly created Adjuchas, he stood at 14'8, a hulking frame, void black scales on his body and a tail with a spear tip on the end. He stood there observing his new environment the Menos Forest, then a board visible only to him appeared.
[System set up is complete, please state your name to register.]
"My name is Khan." he said in a deep voice.
[Registration completed please note you can interact with the system via thoughts.]
Khan asked, 'What functions are available?'

'Yes'
[Skills available:

Khan looked at what was available then started to make plans, but a thought crossed his mind. He asked, 'are my perks from the Trial System still available?'
[Scanning...
Status:
Mercer Augmentation - unaffected available
MacGyver Intellect - unaffected available
Soul of the Daedra - altered available]
'Altered how?'
[Soul of the Daedra - (new effect) allows domination of any soul who submits]
Another thought popped into his head when he remembered a defining trait, he asked, 'shouldn't I be feeling hunger pains right now?'
[Notice, the perk Unlimited Energy is suppressing the loss of Raishi which is the source of hunger for any Hollow below the rank of Arrancars]
'So, no chance of reverting into a Gillian' thought Khan, he then started to explore the surrounding area, when he came across a group of 8 Adjuchas they were facing each other ready to fight. Khan overheard them, they were apparently arguing about the best method to become Vasto Lordes, according to them they agreed the fastest way was to eat one themselves, what they were apparently arguing about was where to find them. Khan figured that if this group felt confident enough to attack a Vasto Lorde then maybe he could get a power boost from eating them.
They were so busy arguing they failed to notice Khan approach, Khan didn't have any claws or anything sharp, he decided to use his own two hands. Khan smashed the heads of six of them before any of them could react, the remaining two both jumped away with impressive speed, they used the surrounding trees as springboards to move even faster. They charged at Khan from two different directions, it was a smart tactic and when Khan focused on the one attacking from the front they thought won, but neither noticed the tail. When Khan brought his fists down, he broke the Hollow in front of him in half, and before the other realized he found himself impaled on Khan's tail.
'Just overconfident, idiots, well still thanks for the meal' thought Khan as he began devouring the now dead Hollows. They did give him a power boost, and he also got 4,000 BP, which he used to buy the skill Bala for 2,000 and 5 Full Restore for 100 each.
Looking at the shop list and their prices and was confused by how cheap most of it was. Khan asked, 'why are all these items and skills relatively cheap?'
[These are simply starter items and skills, they are necessary and recommended, things that you don't need, but might be convenient are more expensive, for example the system upgrade - Area Map is priced at 150,000]
Upon hearing about the area map Khan realized that while he knows the Vasto Lordes are in the desert he has no sure-fire way of finding them, or even getting out of this forest. Khan took a deep breath and decided to get started. Three months, 200 Gillians, and 112 Adjuchas later he arrived at the desert. Khan found the perk Fate's Plan while it will show the main plot line, it will not show how long before it happens, all he knows is that the opening plot of Ichigo Kurosaki becoming a Soul Reaper has yet to happen.
Khan could do nothing but wander the desert after a few days he checked the shop for anything that might help he had a budget of 121,500 BP he found the skill he needed, Sense Raishi (Passive) - 5,000, he also bought the skill Garganta (Active) - 10,000 for a rainy day. 'The skill Sense Raishi reach was for 100 meters, helpful but still left a lot of area to cover.' thought Khan as he resumed his march, the strength of his skills was determined by the strength of his Raishi which could not be upgraded through the system. One day after climbing over a dune a cero came straight at him, while the attacker was outside his range, Khan noticed the cero immediately and dodged.
Khan was excited to see a wounded Vasto Lorde, who screamed "Stop moving once I eat you; I can go after that bitch who did this to me!"
The fight was intense and in spite of his injuries the Vasto Lorde was not going down without his pound of flesh. Khan despite starting the fight with the advantage was receiving too many injuries, in a desperate move he shot a Bala at his opponent's feet breaking the line of sight. Frustrated the Lorde yelled "where are you!" without an answer Khan jumped from behind and bit down on the Vasto Lorde's head.
Khan wasted no time in devouring his opponent when he finished, he felt strange energy started pouring from his skin.
[Transformation has begun]
After a few minutes of intensive pain, the transformation was complete. Khan checked his new body he was smaller now at 9'8, his skin still had void black scales but now there were bone plates covering parts of his arms and legs, including his hands, his mask which was nondescript before now looked like a plate mail helmet that covered his entire head, his tail was now gone. Khan received two notices from the system.
[Achieve Evolution to Vasto Lorde: (Completed) Reward - 5,000 BP, Companion Lottery Ticket (redeemable after starting world).

Khan used the Shadow Blade; it resembled the energy blade used by the Protoss. Khan checked and saw that the first plot event has finally started. Khan decided to find a place to shelter and test his new powers.
After some time had passed, he found a cave, as soon as he entered, he sensed a powerful Hollow inside, Khan had a few seconds to react to the cero fired from the cave. Khan was ready for his next meal until he saw the new notice.
[(New) Defeat Harribel and the Tres Bestias, Reward - Soul Master Package].
Then he saw them Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun. They were yelling at each other it sounded like they thought Khan was working for Barragan. Khan knew what their future forms would be, and he wanted them, so he decided to test his new skill Shadow Manipulation on them.
The skill was useful but could only be used on one at a time, and it required line of sight for his intended target, with it thou Khan was able to knock out the Tres Bestias, they would have some heavy bruises and be very sore tomorrow, but they would live. Harribel was not so easy, even though she didn't know how Khan was able to immobilize her friends, but she figured it required Khan to see her. She kept to Khan's blind spot, but he used that against her and managed to pull off an old fashion donkey kick. Harribel took it square in the chest she still managed to keep going for a little while longer before a right hook to her side managed to incapacitate her.
[Defeat Harribel and the Tres Bestias (Completed) Reward - Soul Master Package
Items available:
Soul Cleanser: Remove foreign objects or curses from target soul.
Soul Collector: Collect the essence of a recently purified/destroyed soul. (Limit one soul at a time)
With that Khan didn't need to kill Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, or Sung-Sun, Khan said "you know I was just looking for a place to rest, I don't even know who this Barragan is." Just then Khan received a new notice.
[(New) (Optional) Protect Harribel and the Tres Bestias: Reward - Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun's Loyalty]
"Well, well, well what do we have here." Khan heard that and thought 'you got to be kidding me.'
