"Oh my god, my poor baby!" A women's crying echoed through the hospital room as she sat by her sons medical bed with bandages wrapped around her body.
The noise stirred Maurice awake as his eyes fluttered open adjusting to the rooms bright lights.
'This is getting weirdly familiar, hope being in a hospital isn't a common thing that's going to happen.' Maurice thought groggily noticing he was wrapped head to toe in bandages, his eyes then scanned the room to see who was crying.
"M-mom." He rasped out, now becoming aware at how cotton mouthed he was.
Tears gathered in his eyes as he looked at his mom sitting in a wheelchair wrapped like a mummy, the fact that she was alive and awake brought a huge relief to his soul that he didn't even notice weighing on him.
The women beside him stopped crying and grabbed on to him, caressing his bandaged face as tears spilled from her eyes.
"Oh my baby boy, thank god your okay, let me get you some water." She said grabbing a bottle of water from behind her wheelchair and helping him drink it slowly.
Letting out a sigh of relief now that his thirst was quenched, Maurice saw that he was in a new room, noticing the differences.
Especially the lack of damaged walls and blood covering the floor from evading the hollows attack.
"What happened mom? I'm in a different room from earlier." Maurice asked her trying to figure out what happened after he passed out.
"This damn hospital! Actually caused the room above you too cave in, due to overfilling a sink, pure negligence, incompetence." The women said angrily before going on a long rant.
Maurice looked confused, the last thing he remembered was hearing the sound of someone finally coming to his rescue before passing out.
"Maybe it was just a dream? Status?" Maurice thought with doubt as he leaned back on his bed, expecting something to appear.

"Well damn, all that shit really happened and my stats went up." Maurice thought trying to nod his head, half paying attention to his mother talking to him about hiring a lawyer and suing the hospital.
"This is insane, first dad dies, then I somehow get super powers and now monsters are attacking me, what the hell even is a Hollow?" Maurice thought anxiously in his head.
*(Hollow: A race of spiritual creatures which are born from Human souls, known as pluses, who for various reasons, do not cross over.)*
Maurice looked at the invisible green screen only he could see in confusion, if he as a human dies? Does he just automatically become a Hollow?
*(Pluses: Humans who died and have their soul chain still attached to there physical dying body or have died and there soul chain is cut in half but is not being corrupted by hollow Reiatsu.)*
'Oh I remember now, that girl had a chain on her chest that was getting shorter as she transformed, so there both related to becoming a hollow?'
'Also these shinigami, are they like the grim reapers of death? Like with skulls and scythe's, so there the good guys?' Maurice asked his system to start understanding this new world he has entered.
Regrettably he wasn't able to see the shinigami but the voice sounded male.
'His voice sure seemed upbeat, must be strong to face that hollow, was it also him that made up the story about the ceiling caving in? How?' Maurice head was filled with question he wanted answers too.
*(Shinigami: Known as soul reapers, balance the after life of the world by purifying hollows who do evil in the World of the living and ensure the safe crossing of souls to bring balance, the Pluses who wander after death)*
Nodding his head, Maurice began to understand now, so then how does one become a soul reaper?

'Damn there's more ability's than level one but everything is too expensive, what is a Quincy anyway for it to be locked?' Maurice thought half paying attention to his mother telling him about his grandparents coming tomorrow after hearing about the crash.
*(Quincy's are spiritually aware Humans, able to absorb and manipulate Reishi into spiritual weapons, killing hollows from invading the human world. Due to the spiritual weapons causing souls to not appear in soul society, soul reapers sought out there extinction to balance the three worlds.)*
"Wait what!" Maurice looked at the green transparent screen in shock, so who were the good guys again?
"Maurice are you okay? Want me to call the nurse." His mother said looking at him with worry from his sudden outburst.
Maurice took a minute to answer but told her he was just tired and wanted to sleep, nodding her head, she put something in his hand before telling him to have the nurse call her when he wakes up again.
"I love you mom." Maurice said before she was about to wheel herself out the room.
"I love you too baby, get some rest." She said with a smile before leaving and calling a nearby nurse to help her get back to her room.
Maurice sighed as he stared at the white hospital ceiling and hearing the door close behind her, there was a lot to think about. Especially this whole genicide thing the soul reapers committed.
*(Spirit weapon detected-bonding in 0%-25-75-100% bonded to user)
'What?' Maurice thought before suddenly a bright grey light ingulfed his hand before dying down into small glitters around the item in his hand.
Squinting his eyes, he looked at his hand to see a small sliver katana necklace with a leather rope glittering with light.
This was a family heirloom his moms Japanese family passed down, he didn't know it origin's but his mother always kept it close.
"Status." Maurice muttered, captivated by the grey light that he knew instinctively was his reishi, surrounding the sword necklace.

Maurice looked at the screen in shock as he glanced at the small necklace in his hand that his mom left him.
"What is a spirit weapon exactly, I thought only Quincy's had them." He muttered examining the necklace.
*(Using a cross or armament as a focus point a Quincy creates a bow of reishi to fight, they are created by gathering the Reishi in the air or surroundings, some high spec humans can do something similar by finding special objects that can consume reishi and imprint there soul with the object to create a unique powers)
Maurice was fascinated at reading the screen, but he couldn't help but fixate on the blocked out words on the necklaces info screen.
So far this system has been providing loads of information with no glitches, but now he can't read this bonded weapon?
"System why is…"
*(Level is too low to fight the concept of B%#%#)
'What level? The only ones I see are for my skills? I don't have a character level?' Maurice thought in confusion as even the system glitched just now.
*(Reiryouku level needs to be higher)
'Ok, so what level of Reiryoku do I need to be at?' Maurice thought semi annoyed at the systems round about text.
*(RY needed to semi-unlock weapon is 9,000RY)
Maurice looked at the number in shock, his RY was only at twenty and it would only semi-unlock once he did reach that RY level.
'What is a average soul reapers RY?' Maurice thought bewildered at requirements to unlock his bond weapon.
*(Soul reapers use a system called Reii to measure Reiryoku from the low twentieth class, too the high level zero class)
'So what level is 9,000RY?'
*(eighteenth class unseated officer)
"Damn I knew I was weak but sheesh, system what kind of missions are there for me to get stronger quickly." Maurice said after thinking for a while.
He wants to be strong, no he needs to be. If he was strong enough especially with these super powers, then know one he loves has to have a senseless death like his father's.
He would be Superman if he had too, fast enough, stronger than anything a hollow or shinigami can throw at him to protect his own.
*(System level is to low)
Maurice looked bewildered at the notification, why are there so many restrictions suddenly appearing. When the system first appeared he received a mission right away.
*(System level is to low too initiate missions, when user encounters circumstances that warrants a mission, they will be issued)
"What? That's dumb." Maurice was in disbelief that he would only get a mission if the system deemed his circumstances mission worthy.
He played tons of games before and each one of them had the mission appear first so that the character could leveled up properly and advance to clear the mission fast, if not barely scraping by to complete it.
But this left him in the blind on what to prepare for, what if he walks outside with his mom and a dragon suddenly appears in the sky out of knowhere.
He was exaggerating, but what if a hollow appeared, he wasn't at the level to protect her and complete the mission assigned to get stronger.
If the options were like last time, then it would be life or death with no heroics in between to protect anyone.
*(Upgrade the system by completing the main mission task)
"Main mission." Maurice muttered intrigued at what the main objective could be. He didn't think that there was a actual reason he suddenly got this power, he just took too it with gusto.
*(Main system mission)
*-Congratulations! You have been chosen to represent your universe:
-Fight ten enemies who will come for your system.
-Absorb five enemy systems from those who cross into your universe.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?" Maurice said rereading the main mission repeatedly as he felt his stomach sink.
"This means others will come for me! Damn it this is crazy, system open Store." Maurice said trying to make a plan to grow stronger.

Maurice browsed through all the abilities he could buy and read there descriptions along with rereading the abilities he already got.
"I'm not preforming Hohō correctly." Maurice was sure that he wasn't preforming the technique right.
It seemed be how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps possible. What he did earlier against the hollow was a bastardized version, since he was just pushing Reishi out his feet and making multiple steps to get out the way instead of having a controlled powerful step, so that he could manuver out the way if he needed.
It was like driving a car with no breaks, he would get from A to B quicker but he wouldn't be in control and would not be able to divert or stop if he needed to, also he could go faster by being more in control when taking less steps to get there.
Since he was going to be bed ridden for a while, he might as well level up and get familiar with his powers and the other abilities prerequisites so that what happened during the earlier hollow attack wouldn't happen again.
"Hmm and just because its sealed doesn't mean I can't use my necklace already opened abilities." Maurice said controlling the necklace to float in the air.
He played with it for some time, having it spin in circles and zoom around the room at it's fastest speed.
He then had it stop beside him before using its ability to enlarge it into a full sheathed katana as he admired its intricate design and reread its abilities.
"What is Konsō?"
*(Konsō- A Shinigami gently tap a pluses forehead, sending them to Soul Society from the Human World in order to maintain the balance of souls between the three worlds)
"That's the second time I heard of three worlds, soul society is one, two is the human world, so what is three?"
*(Hueco Mundo - A dimension in which Hollows reside. It lies in between the Human World and Soul Society, being one of the three worlds)
"Huh so they don't stay in the human world after all, makes since if there are a lot of shinigami patrolling around." Maurice hummed as he processed the information.
A glint appeared in his eyes as he planned out his training plan.
