"Upend the heavens with my rod, by becoming your vassal?" Kanan asked his face expressing both intrigue and confusion.
Cercis approached closer as she whispered, "You will have to decide quickly human. Stopping your path to the void is not something that will go unnoticed for long. As I am now, when he comes for you, I will not be able to protect you here." Her voice still displaying her playful and seductive attitude but now carried a trace of urgency.
If Kanan could sweat he would feel it running down his back as he spoke, "Well at least give me a vague idea of what I would be doing!" He was never the type to jump into something blindly. Into a pit of fire knowing it was bad for him? Sure, but he took comfort in at least knowing it was bad for him.
I guess I can spare him that much time. Cercis thought.
"You will descend onto a world far different from your own. A world of magic, gods, and cultivation. I will gift you with a power like no other in that world and with it you will run rampant in that world, and with time. You will come to rule it, should you be able to close your heart to it all." She said. Her words made the nonexistent bones in Kanan's body warm I excitement. His face showing that of absolute elation.
"My bones are burning! Hahaha!" Kanan's excitement was loud enough to echo throughout the space he was in. "Magic and gods you say! Why didn't you start with that? I accept your deal beautiful. Give me the power to achieve my goals!" He demanded.
"What a reckless and intriguing human. I like you, very well Kanan. I will bestow my power onto you, and when we meet again. Tell me more about your past life." Cercis said. Immediately after her head turned as the voice of the giant boomed throughout the void.
"Who dare?!? Who has interfered in my judgment?!? I will rip you to sunders and feast on your very soul you traitorous bastard!" He bellowed, his presence growing more oppressing by the moment as it was clear he would soon arrive.
Without delay Cercis looked to Kanan and spoke, "Goodbye for now, Kanan. It will be some time before I contact you again as I cannot interfere too much with mortals. Reach the level of a demigod then come find me, by that time I am sure you will have accomplished much and can tell me your stories. When you become that strong, our plans will truly begin to take form." She said as her hands began to weave various formations that was hard to comprehend and visualize. Moments later from her hands what looked to be a ball of crimson flames appeared and floated to where Kanan's heart would reside.
"You will experience tremendous pain, nausea, and hunger soon. Good luck!" Cercis commented as Kanan was dragged into a tunnel of light that formed mysteriously and instantly below him. Sucking him down into what would be his destiny and the first step into his legacy. Wasting no time, she moved to disappear back into the void, but alas.
Fate was a friend to no one.
"You! What are you doing here?!? Where is the human?!?" The giant screamed as his figure oppressively stood above Cercis.
A vindictive smirk emerged on Cercis as she answered, "Somewhere the laws of the heavens will protect him. Do not worry though, junior, he is sure to return. I will do all in my power… to make sure of it!" Cercis screamed as she slashed her hand forward sending forth slashes that exploding with unknown forces as they traveled. Her attack pushed the giant back as she vanished into the darkness and left a golden liquid dripping from the giant.
His roars of rage shook the space in which he stood and many worlds around it. "You mean to declare war on me?!? On the heavens? Then so be it, we will have war!"
Far, far away from that place Kanan was floating once again.
Hm, feels like I'm in water. Is this where she meant to send me? He pondered before feeling weight return to his body. His bones grew in density and his body felt as if it was reverting. How he could tell such a thing he did not know, all he did know was those feelings were not under his control. Nor was the burning where his heart should be. He gripped his head as panic began to take over.
Why does everything feel so intense?!? What am I even feeling right now? So much… rage a- and lust! I need to find something quick! He concluded internally. Before he could move to even attempt to take action there was a ding in his mind.

[The Cursed Saint System: Activated!]
W-what? Cursed saint? Is that referring to me? Kanan gritted his teeth as he did his best to bear the forewarned pain.
This must be like those cultivation novels that general's daughter would tell me about. Damn it I wish I listened to her ramblings more often now! He thought with malice towards himself. Soon the pain began to dull as he was able to stand upright in this liquid void.

Kanan studied the transparent window of information in front of him. "So it's like a video game then? I wonder how well my stats are compared to others in that world."
[Host Body Configuration: Initiated]
Hm? My body? Kanan pondered as the feeling of his body reverting to a previous state returned in spades. An unknown amount of time later he received this notification.
[Host Body Complete]
Feeling many years younger Kanan looked towards his body to determine any noticeable changes from his previous one.
W- what the?!? My body looks like I'm 19 again! This system thing truly is amazing! He thought excitedly. Though with no warning, his body sank at break neck speeds. As he was sent plummeting Kanan could do nothing but smile and wait in anticipation.
[Host Implanting In Progress]
What felt like seconds later Kanan appeared in the middle of an unknown place in harsh rain. Surrounded by dying grass and what appeared to be wooden and clay houses Kanan determined he was in a village of sorts.
[Welcome Host To Planet: Rave]
His system displayed. Quickly deciding to determine where he was Kanan picked up a mass of dead leaves scattered near him from the rainwater hoping to find a way to conjure makeshift clothing. Though as he did, a scream came from close by. Snapping his head to its origin Kanan saw a woman who was both breathtaking and terrified.
Her blazing red hair long and wavy like clouds covering the sky, her body delectably plump in all the visible areas, her only flaw was the unflattering long robe she wore. It appeared to be similar to that of a nurse's robe from his world. As he ogled the woman a burning hunger and desire started to rumble within him. He felt fangs grow from his mouth as his heart and bones set ablaze. All of his blood flow intensified, and his eyes felt odd. Despite all of this and the unknowns of his situation, Kanan stepped forward nearly drooling.
A fine woman already, I truly am blessed. He thought.
"Ahhh! Pervert!" Her shriek was the last thing Kanan heard before his vision went black and his body became unbearably heavy.
