" Good, I have ten thousand souls ready, to think I wouldn't have to waste my time looking for ten thousand people to kill, with this.....I can obtain my first skill in this body " Kyle said to himself.
He clenched his fists tightly, he closed his eyes.
[Congratulations, you have sacrificed ten thousand souls to the universe, you will receive your rewarded ]
A voice rang out causing Kyle to slowly open his eyes, and a smirk escaped his lips.
" He-he-he-he, that voice....the Voice of the Universe, Gaia, a system that has existed since the creation of the world....it can only be heard by me since I was the one who sacriced the souls " Kyle said to himself.
" Listening to the Gaia means it was successful " Kyle added.
When suddenly a system window appeared right before his eyes.
[ Informations regarding this certain individual have been downloaded and the perfect rewarded will now be bestowed upon you, congratulations....you have awakened a skill ]
The voice explained.
" Perfect, I've awakened a skill but what will it be? sometimes skills is gotten directly from the registered soul, since I have the affinity of dark magic and my soul is corrupted, it will probably be related to darkness "
Kyle concluded when he noticed something, something that changed his expression completely.
" What? " He exclaimed!
[ Congratulations, you have awakened the Skill: Time Craftsman]
" What? Time Craftsman? what is that? " Kyle asked himself when he noticed something, he looked at himself, he realized the truth he had completely forgotten, he is currently in the body of someone else.
" Ah, I totally forgot, this is not my original body and it's as well my first skill, the first skill is given to the trait and affinity of the original body, starting from the second skill focuses on the soul "
" But to think this body has affinity for time manipulation huh? " Kyle asked, he take a glance at himself when he decided to know what his new skill is about!
{Skill: Time Craftsman: a skill which manipulates the concept of time at a precise level, shaping the laws of time to the user's will ]
{Sub Skill: Time Stop and Future Sights }
" I really don't have much sub skills for now due to my current level, It seems this skill focuses on the level of the user, since I'm weak....I can only use time stop and future sight, but it will suffice "
" For now I can use them since I'm a swordsman now " Kyle said to himself.
In this world, only those who has awakened their first skill is capable of seeing the system window and they are only capable of hearing the voice of Gaia, they are known as the Awakened!
Special beings!

[Two Days Later]
The news of General Amaras death and the massacre of the soldiers he brought alone reached the heart of the Ravarns, upon hearing this news....a meeting was called and the elders were gathered together.
All standing before Lord Abraka Del Rosso.
Abraka is spotted sitted on his throne with his legs crossed, he held the letter sent to him by the Rutherford Barony, the head of General Amaras was released back to them but his body was hunged.
Lord Abraka gnashed his teeths.
Burning the letter with his auras, he relaxed his back on his throne when he faced the direction of the Ravarn Elders standing before him!
" Its being a long time since I've being provoked like this, to think a mere brat who couldn't even control his Barony for six years would dare oppose me like this? "
" I will offer his flesh to the Primordial of Death and Calamity " Lord Abraka declared.
" My Lord, I understand that this is something we never expected but we need to be calm in other to make a good judgement, we underestimated the young Baron considering how worthless he was "
" To think he would be this brazen to the extent he wiped out the four thousand soldiers who General Amaras tagged along in hopes of oppressing the new Baron and subjugating him " Elder Lou spoke out.
A white bearded elder of the Rav Tribe.
" I know that already but do you think I should let this go? this is a great disrespect to the people of Rav, the Rutherford Barony will crumble to dust " Lord Abraka said, despite his voice became so calm.
It carried authority, after all....Lord Abraka Del Rosso is a five star aura user.
Those who reaches the level of five star in proficient aura control and manipulation are given a title, it's more difficult for one to cross the four star level as an aura user, that's why five stars are special.
They are known as the Xendras!
" Lord Abraka, how was it explained? The death of General Amaras and the four thousand soldiers he took along, does it explain in anywhere how that young Baron wiped them out? " Another Elder asked.
Elder Yize!
" No, but I heard they were ushered into the Werlock Castle, I've being to that Castle before, it's big enough to fit in five thousand people, the Rutherford Barony was considered a Barony but originally "
" It was to be verified as a county but the famine occured, I'm pretty certain that they laid out a trap for my men in that castle, those cunny pigs.....I can't wait to crush their skulls " Lord Abraka growled out.
His teeths gritted aggressively.
" If you are correct and it really was a trap laid out, then there is no reason to panic, they had quite the time to prepare for General Amaras arrival but they won't have the time to prepare for our assault "
" We should storm the Barony and wipe them out "
Lord Abraka Del Rosso turned his gaze, facing the owner of the voice, General Gex, one of the Lord's current generals, they were originally four generals but General Amaras is already dead, so they have only three generals.
" General Gex, are you certain of your victory? " Lord Abraka asked.
" Yes, the Baron may be crafty but he is merely a little boy, there is nothing much he can do when faced with a thousand horsemen charging at him, with just a single slash of my blade, his head will surely roll "
" Since they dared insult us in this manner....they should pay the consequences right? " General Gex stated.
" Very well then, I will give you the chance to take out the bastard, I do not care if he is a son of the Reinhart Family, he dared me....so he will pay for it " Lord Abraka declared, the door leading into the room opened.
When an old haggard looking woman walked in.
Covered in a black robe, she walked in with a stick in her hand, the atmosphere changed and Lord Abraka became calm, in the presence of this old woman....he can't act irrational!
" Chief Priest....to think you would pay me a visit for the first time this year, is anything the problem? " Lord Abraka asked.
" I....I...locked myself indoors, praying to the Primordial of Death and Calamity, our great father who reign from above, I offered the lives we lost to him but he was enraged by my offerings " She answered.
" What? How is that possible? " Elder Lou asked.
" The answer is simple, there was no soul for him to receive, naturally we offer the souls of our dead brothers and sisters for his mercies but there was not a single soul offered and so we enraged our god "
" Amongst the Rutherford Barony, there is someone who used black magic "
" Since I need to appease the Primordial of Death and Calamity, I will need to start another ritual but this time, the souls of the Rutherford Barony will be used to appease our almighty father and cleanse our land "
" Whoever this dark mage is.....I will be the one who kills him "
" And for provoking the Primordial of Death and Calamity, his death will not be gentle " She declared, stamping her staff on the ground, everyone could taste the tension in the air, everyone felt it.
The eerie presence of death she unleashed.
She is a contractor of a death spirit, A Necromancer and a powerful one at that, with seconds....two lich appeared behind her and they fell on their knees, bowing their heads before her.
" Head to the Rutherford Barony and destroy everything you come across, this will be my first gift to them, this land will shed blood "
