Solitary Sword Sovereign

Chapter 4- Cultivation!

Chapter 4 Cultivation!

As soon as Modus faded away, the world melted into its usual color and time began to flow again. Will still stood by himself in the middle of the street. He acted rationally when everything was happening, but the reality of what happened suddenly hit him. He felt as though he had taken morphine. He was numb with euphoria. His worries melted away and his mind swayed as though he was floating in water. Yet, he started to wonder what he should do next.

"Become immortal? How am I supposed to do that?"

Will was familiar with the concept of ascension into immortality. His Chinese novels heavily included this idea as part of the main story lines. Unfortunately, in most of the novels that Will reads, this was a feat regarded as almost impossible. The characters that were able to achieve this state had a lot of help from other characters and developed surpassing talents.

"Sigh"

"I can't think like this. I've dreamed of this, now it is happening. I can't let it drift away or let it seem so impossible." Will thought.

Will understood what Modus meant. He needed to improve his skills and gain new abilities. Grinding was going to be the key to doing this. If he just focused on these two things at first, then the goal of immortality won't be too far out of his reach. Will smirked at the thought that the luscious figure that was before him would become his. Just as he began to fantasize, the system spoke.

"The user system shall begin."

"Begin? –Wait, what?"

Will knew that he had missed something when he was off in his daydream about Adelda.

"Ding! You have been given the class Sword Apprentice. You receive 600 bonus points as the first user on Earth to hold two classes. The system is ready to modify your body. Please say begin when you are ready."

"Huh?"

Will looked around to make sure that no one was around to see what would happen.

"Begin"

Will was blinded by a light that seemed to engulf his body. A cool calming sensation flowed about his body, Will felt as though he could feel all of the modifications that were happening to him, even down to the cellular level. It was as if he was both within and separate from his body. Then a wave of pain took over. It was a rough sharp pain as though he were being sliced by a thousand knives all over his body. When the pain reached his brain, he felt something change within him. He couldn't tell what it was, but he knew that something was different about him. The pain was rampaging about his head. It was at this point that Will realized what was happening. The two sensations were energies working together to change his physical body down to the very minute structure of his existence. When the two energies began to slow, the pain and pleasure began to decrease. Will was unable to comprehend this sensual experience of pain and pleasure. He lost consciousness.

When Will's eyes opened, he was staring at the ceiling of his room. He turned his head to see his aunt looking over him very concerned.

"Will, are you feeling alright?"

Will nodded his head. She was a very kind middle aged woman. She was one of the very few that Will felt cared about him. He assured her that he was well. His aunt interrogated him for a few minutes. She wanted to know what had happened. The neighbors found him unconscious in the middle of the street. Will told her that he must have overworked himself and passed out when he went for a walk. She didn't believe it, but she knew that she would be able to get anything else out of him.
