Chapter 3 - First Soul Splitting

Hearing the answer from light, Arman began to think about how he should go on about it. In between his thoughts he was interrupted by a sudden phone call from his department.

After seeing that the phone call was from his colleague he picked it up after some thought.

"Hello Arman, are you there" asked a worried voice on the other end of the phone.

"I guess you could say that I am fine, so Sam why did you call me. You do know that i have already been fired right" said Arman.

"Come on man, I was worried about you and I also heard the chief talking about doing something regarding you so I called you to make sure that you were safe" said Sam in a panicked voice.

"As you have heard I am doing just fine so you can rest assured and about the chief then you don't have to worry about that the things that should be done will be done" said Arman in a cold voice.

"You are not planning to do something stupid are you? Before you do anything like that I think you should think clearly and calmly as he is still the chief of the department whereas right now you don't even have your post left. What i think you should do now is think about what you are going to do now to take care of yourself." said Sam in a worried tone.

" I get what you are trying to tell and i am thankful for your concern but you don't have to worry about me doing something I am not sure about cause even if I am angry I am not going to make stupid decisions in the heat of the moment anymore, so you can rest assured" said Arman.

" I am glad to hear that you are still thinking clearly and not being impulsive due to your situation and I am actually kinda surprised by that but I think you are gonna be just fine so take some rest and stay safe. Bye for now i guess" said Sam after which the call got disconnected.

"It was surely good to see that you have a friend who somewhat care for you. Its good to have such friends" said light in a nostalgic tone. 

"Seems to me that you have a story of your own don't you light" asked Arman.

"Doesn't everyone have their own stories its just that some share them whereas some don't and regarding my story then don't worry you will get to know it in due time" said light.

"All right then, now that that's out of the way can you tell me in more detail how you are going to split my soul and take me to the originator space" asked Arman.

"Its actually quite simple, I am going to use my source power to split a part of your soul and mask your soul in the source power to camouflage it or to simply make it mimic the source power of normal originators so that you wont get found so easily" said light.

"So the part about you splitting my soul is there any side effects or bad effects to it" asked Arman.

"Well I am only going to split a small part of your soul so the side effects should not be that bad. You will probably feel a little weak and dizzy for some time though and if i must say the worst side effect is gonna be the massive pain that will come from the splitting of your soul as no matter how small of a part it is that is still a part of your soul" said light.

"Oh and also don't worry that your part of the soul will dissipate if it is killed as due to me when your soul will die it will enter a state of suspended animation where it will remain in a state of hibernation for some time, and during that state of hibernation it will collect the powers from the surrounding to recover itself and in a sense be reborn and might even be stronger than when it died and once your soul has achieved what it wants it will return to your body and feedback the power that it gained but since it is only a small part of your soul you will also only be able to get a small feedback until you grow to a stage where you can get full power feedback from your soul" explained light.

"That's alot of information, so basically you are saying that except for the huge pain and the momentary weakness there is no other significant loss in soul splitting' inquired Arman.

"Technically yes, for you right now there are definitely more benefits in this method of strength improvement than harm, but after some time when you are stronger enough this technique might become less useful. But seeing your standing right now this method is basically a godly cheat for you" said light.

"And what do you get out of this" questioned Arman.

"You will get to know it in due time but as a way of gaining trust I also get stronger in my own way which in fact is beneficial to you as well" said light.

"So its actually a situation of mutual benefit, makes more sense than a no benefit situation" said Arman with some relief.

"Maybe Maybe not you don't have to worry about it at this point in time so what say are you ready for the biggest journey of your life which will definitely change your whole world" asked light eagerly.

"Yes lets do it but after I do something that i have to do" said Arman with a sad look.

After saying that Arman turned off the tv put on some clothes and went outside the house towards the bus station.

After some time the bus stopped at a somewhat gloomy and silent part of the metropolis.

Walking straight Arman walked to a cemetery, the atmosphere being really gloomy and eerie.

Arman walked straight towards the right side of the cemetery where a grave with some flowers placed on it was.

Going near the grave, Arman's mood got visibly sad with alot of anger and grief clearly visibly on his face. Sitting near the grave he said "I finally got a way to get stronger and I promise you that I will definitely avenge you and show all the others that they shouldn't have done that to you all those years ago" saying so Arman got up from there and resolutely said to light " Let's do it now light"

After his confirmation, a stream of power seemed to come from his visage accompanied with a loud and painful cry after which a part of Arman's soul wrapped in a colourless light got out from Arman's body and went straight up towards a place of extreme danger and opportunities.

A place which in the not so near future will only have one name circulating throughout it. A place of beginnings and wonder and a place where you have to fight for whatever you want.
