* Raon POV *
"W-who are you?"
"Me? Well I'm known by many names yet the most accurate would be the Void."
"Void? Does this mean that your what I'm trying to enter a contract with?"
"Yes that's correct and while you are immensely inadequate, you have something that makes you qualified albeit barely. The title of being an anomaly."
"My title? While I assumed that it was good I didn't know that it would help me this much."
"The title of anomaly is extremely rare and holds significant importance. An anomaly is something that differentiates, it's something that has broken away from it's destined path. It also signifies a change, a massive change. If I remember correctly the last anomaly was when the Great War happened."
"Great War?"
"That's a story for another time. Do you agree to become my contractor?"
"Yes I agree!"
"Good."
After he was done talking I felt extreme pain, this pain seemed to be only affecting my soul. The pain only subsided after I had nearly passed out. The voice then explained to me that he has just established a connection to my soul. Now I will be able to use the void and use the technique.
When I asked about the technique it told me that the technique was in the Natural Class.
The Technique Ranks go from weakest to strongest in the order of Unranked, Bronze, Silver, Gold, King, Divine, Natural.
A natural technique is when the technique was naturally created and perfected. It's extremely rare as these techniques are fundamentally connected with some type of place or concept.
My technique is connected with the place and concept of the Void.
"Now let's get started with your training first. While you have a good body, your mind is terrible at best."
"W-what?"
"You have no real goal, no strong mindset, way too passive, too soft, no control over your emotions. Do I really need to continue?"
"N-no you don't, I get what you're saying."
"The only good thing you have is your good businesses sense. The worst part of your mind would be your emotions."
"Wait!? Are you trying to take away my emotions!"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on making you into an emotionless and monotone person. Emotions are important for the minds health."
"Alright that's good."
"Now to get started you need to experience having your mind destroyed and recreated over and over again. Destroying someone mind is easy however recreating their mind is extremely difficult. With either help from an extremely powerful being with high comprehension of the light, time, or creation attribute. Another way would be to use elixirs and items. These items or elixirs would all have to be in the myth rank.
Items rank go from weakest to strongest are unranked, common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, unique, myth, Law, and Anomaly. While you could get unique or lower ranked item from materials and the techniques used to create it. Myth and higher ranked items are different as they require other factors. They need to accumulate their own legends, they need to form a connection with a law that governs our reality, and lastly they need to accumulate karma."
"Karma?"
"That will be explained when it's relevant to you. That's why we won't be recreating your mind after it's been destroyed. Instead we will do something I found and was unable to utilize. We will let reality create the new mind. We will endlessly destroy your mind while also keeping perks or benefits of the minds. The mind you currently have is absolutely terrible and the only thing we will be keeping would be your memories and your business sense.
"… What do you mean something you weren't able to do? Also how would we keep perks or benefits of different minds and why would my new mind have new perks or benefits?"
"When a creature is born they are blessed by reality, this blessing can manifest as anything. The reason I was unable to use this method is because I had already devolved my mind. You don't have this problem as your mind is barely developing. As for how we are keeping the things we want is complicated so I won't be explaining it to you."
"Wait you said you found this method, then who created it?"
"Oh, the person who created it is a mystery. Now I must apologize in advance but please bear with it."
"Huh? What do yo——
…
UUUUGGGHHHH!!! WHAT THE HELL!!"
As I dropped to the ground and started to scream in pain. The pain was unbearable, it felt like my head was splitting open and thousands of ants or bugs were crawling around, bitting, and multiplying inside my head. Then my body started to burn with an intense heat and my bodies functions started to collapse. The worst of it was my heartbeat. When my heart rate was slowing down, it's beating sound would echo inside my mind and throughout my body. It made me go insane as this felt to continue for an entirety. The truth of the matter was that it all happened within a time frame of an hour. My thoughts were all jumbled up and incoherent. One of my last coherent thoughts were,
'Why isn't anyone coming to me? Am I not making any sound?'
That's when my mind went completely blank.
If someone were to see me right now I would be laying on the ground with lifeless eyes and a limp body. My heart rate would be nonexistent and my breathing would have stopped.
In most cases I would be pronounced dead.
That's when suddenly my body jolted up, breathing rapidly and chaotically. My eyes darted around and my hand on my chest looking for my heartbeat. When I heard the soft and rhythmic sound of my heart I sighed in relief.
"Are you done?"
"Huh? Oh yeah I am."
"Well I have some good news for us, this mind has an astonishing thought processing. If I didn't know any better I would think this thought processing would have belonged to a Tier 4 being. Well let's go again as we already have all that we need."
"Huh? Wait let me——"
…
"Again."
…
"Another failure, again."
…
"Again."
…
…
"Hmm? Alright again and let's hope for something better."
…
"Again."
…
"Hmm? Hahahaha!! What a marvelous gift! Alright this should be enough. If we use this mind as a base, it should be sturdy enough for everything. Let's just hope that no abnormal after affects happen."
