" For starters, you have to know of the phenomenon known as "Traversing", as it is tied directly to 'Reincarnating' and 'Summoning' in this world. When someone from another world crosses over to this world, to help them assimilate and survive, the Will of The World gives them special powers , these powers are given to them in the form of { Unique Skills } . I'll tell you how to access them later "
Jason was so focused on the explanation of the { System } that he had forgotten about the fact that all this sounds very similar to the anime and mangas he had seen before. He was still very confused about his situation, so the thought might not have occurred to him then.
"And that is when our "Soul Seeker" comes into play, by utilising extremely complex and intricate runes to make a 7th circle multi - layered magic program , it would be able to detect all forces and foreign objects crossing throughout the world and beyond a certain distance."
"The 'Soul Seeker' not only seeks out souls but it can be used for other forms of energy as well. But the most important one is still the souls of intelligent creature from another world - which is what we need for this project."
"Firstly, it will focus all of it's magicule seeking formulas into the 'Spirit Hall' where the souls are endlessly passing through . Then it looks for souls that specifically haven't had their data ( memory ) wiped and capture it , because we don't need a newborn - clean soul, that would deactivate the protective program of the Will of The World which would defeat the purpose"
*So I was forced to possess this chimera before having my memory wiped so I could have special powers ? I don't know how to feel about this, definitely not a good feeling. Also, I wonder what happened to that girl that I saved ? If something happened to her when I died after trying to save her, that'd be shitty"
*But hey, at least I got some special abilities out of it, at least i won't be weak in this magical world. Maybe my skill is some cheat-like skill that would make me super overpowered like those Isekai protag ?*
At the thought of having cheat-like skills, his otaku side surfaces, making him think of things to be excited for like : epic adventures, legendary loot, crazy fights that make his blood boils, and women! He had always dreamed of being able to use magic, fight monsters while being praised by everyone like a normal boy. Now that he could possibly do all these things, how could he hold back his excitement!?
Although his start was rough , he hoped that with the ''Gifts'' that the world had given him would be enough to make up for it, that he would become better with time. It was something to be looking forward to
" The CARRION project is at its core, a massive list of trials and errors, relying solely on luck , to find the perfect soul that can overcome all the challenges created by the dungeon builders department which is led by my sworn friend - Mage Mephisto. His design is to find the perfect catch so that we can pour all our resources on to it, the CRN is one of it, and there's also the Mana Heart that we've mentioned before."
"But this has proven to be extremely difficult so far, as more than 600 chimeras has perished at the moment of this recording, I'd discussed to maybe lower the difficulty but as he is , he would never allow that to happen. With that said, I hope that you, No.1454 will be able to conquer this dungeon and bring us great results!"
When he said 'No.1454' , an automated voice was edited in , so it's safe to assume that what he said was meant for all the test subjects, not just Jason himself. He doesn't want to listen to the order of someone who forced him into this but what can he do other than that. Who knows what might happen if he wanders around randomly. What if there were mechanisms here that would react to unwanted intruders and try to eliminate him ?
...But why should he follow the rules when there's nothing in it for him ? Under his test tube was another dilating door, which he assumed is the entrance to the said dungeon. The thing is though, his tank wasn't like the others , it's not closed and filled with those green liquids, his was cracked open with a large hole in front giving him another choice other than letting things go the way Dr.Glamus wants
He figured if he did something different from all the other subjects, he might be able to have a different path, a better chance at survival. And so he set his sights on getting out of the tank before the door swallows him and send him ro his potential death.
But before that , he has to figure out how to move his body first , this body that he possessed hasn't given him any feedback other than his sight, smell and hearing which means he wasn't going to be able to move. He tried to move like when he was still a human, but his body wasn't the same so nothing happened.
"Well, enough whining from me, let's get you connected to the Status" now and I'll send you on your way..."
*Oh shit, he's going to send me off soon , better move quick.*
"You can open your Status by saying , it should look like an identification terminal....not that you'd know what that is. Normally for a Traverser, you would be able to get the guidance from the Will of The World but during the process of Soul Stamping, something went wrong and disconnected you from the Will, we're currently still looking into it....But don't worry, it should reconnect you to the Will of The World after you open your Status screen so all in all its not a big probem.."
The moment he said , it was like magic because it is, the word Status was said in the Runic language of the Divine , but somehow Jason could understand it .He thought out loud the word in his head and a blue screen showed up in front of his eye.
