Soul Evolution System: Reborn

This is Soul Evolution System: Reborn. The original author Drack21 was said to have died leading to many people asking for someone to pick up his story. There were honestly also quite a few complaints about his original story, because Drack wasn't an English writer and his editor honestly wasn't good with English either. Making his story hard to understand. There's also the fact it was an R18 novel that had about three R18 scenes in the entire story, the first one being almost 400 chapters in. A lot of people liked the concept behind the story he was trying to create but there were a lot of mistakes along the way as he was a first time writer. Therefore after 6 months of people begging someone to pick up the story, I finally said screw it and picked it up myself. The story is about Alexander Ilios Apeiro aka. Alex who is reborn for the amusement of a higher being. He is allowed to traverse any world and do whatever he wants even if he were to choose to help the demon lord instead of fight him in a certain world. As long as he makes things interesting... This is a FanFic, so there will be taking girls from other worlds, it's kinda in the whole FanFic motto if you will. But there is also an original world that will have its own story line in between jumping to other worlds.

Cooking

[Maybe you should buy a manual or something to help you]

"Does the system have such a thing?"

[That's right, it contains all the books in all the worlds, it shouldn't be difficult to find something. Do you want me to find and buy one for you?]

That's right, Aurora is also connected to the system, I didn't know that she could purchase things for me, what if she can purchase things without my knowledge. This could be bad ... maybe she thinks I don't trust her or that I feel insecure allowing her to operate the system. Well, maybe I'm over thinking things too.

"Sure, please do it Aurora"

[Done, it has been stored in the inventory, it is [How to dismantle animals, for fools] and it cost 1G, you can take it now]

After a few seconds she report her achievement, that was quick ... also whats with that name? Isn't that a bit offensive? I would like to know what Aurora thought when choosing it...

[In several book descriptions it was the one that said that it could be learned quickly and easily, that's why I chose it, is there a problem? Should I have selected a different one?]

"No, don't worry, it is just my apprehension at the book's name, let's first see it and find out if it is useful or not."

I took the book from my inventory, it was not very thick, and flipping through it a little I could see some illustrations as an example. ... Damn, do I have to hang the wild boar? ...I look at the wild boar and then the trees around, it is impossible, suppose that for some miraculous and strange reason I can lift it, I doubt that any of the branches around me can bear its weight ... let's keep reading for now.

Turning the pages I saw the process in the case that the animal could not be lifted. Well, the first thing is to bleed the wild boar.

Since I don't want to make a mess here and the blood to attract monsters, I bought a large metal container for 20G. Placing it under the pig's head, I take the sword from the inventory and cut his jugular. Blood flowed inside the container, so I just wait until it stops.

After a few minutes the stream of blood had decreased to simple drips, I put the container back in my inventory, it seems that I can also store things that contain others objects, I'll throw the blood away later. Then I spray Odor-canceling powder all around to make sure there's no smell leaking out anywhere. Now just as the manual says, I turn it over on its back and start cutting from the legs. I cut the skin in a line from the base of his lower limb to his upper body by inserting the tip of the blade between the skin and the muscle, repeating the process with each of its legs, and then made an incision in the middle of the neck to the crotch.

Now there was only pulling the skin out and separating it from the flesh cutting it with the sword. Although the blade made the process easier thank to its edge, it still took me about two hours to skin it completely because I had no experience. I cut the legs and head directly since I didn't feel the need to peel them, I didn't plan to eat them.

Finally I opened his belly with care not to puncture the viscera, once I could see them I simply remove them, what I got as a result was the body of a wild boar with only its flesh and bones.

"Fuuu... it´s done"

[Fufufu ... good job Alexander]

I exhaled a sigh having the pleasant feeling of doing a good job and Aurora praising me put me in a good mood. As I don't intend to eat it all at once, I separated a leg and then put the rest in the inventory. I can probably eat wild boar for a while.

The only thing left was to store the parts and leftovers that I didn't want, I wrapped everything in the plastic and put it back in the inventory. I feel strange using it as a dumpster, whatever, ill deal with it later.

Finally, I washed the meat that I plan to cook and remove the excess of blood and also I rinse my hands to clean them.

I moved near the cave entrance and began to prepare things for a campfire and to cook the boar's leg. I then buy utensils and some spices from the system store to add some flavor, everything for a price of 430G.

Finally, after about 3 hours since I started skinning the wild boar, I had its meat cooking in the fire. Making sure to spray more odor-canceling powder so the smell doesn't leave the cave. Before eating, I should take a shower and change my clothes.

It really has been a long day, there were spots painted with blood and dirt all over my clothes and body. Moving away from the fire I undressed completely and then I took the canteen and poured the water on me. After about 15 minutes I had all the dirt removed, nothing is better than a good bath and a cool beer after a difficult day. And although I could only get the former, for now its more than enough. Or rather, I think I shouldn't drink with this body's age ... it will be a while until I can get drunk again.

"Haaa"

I let out a sigh with some grief and taking out a clean set of clothes to put on. I approached the fire again to warm my body that had cooled and check how the cooking is going. I rotate the meat that is in the container above a tripod that is supported over the flames. So it did not burn and could be cooked in the most uniform way possible.

After a while the meat was finally done cooking.

"Hahaha ... now I'll chew your meat you damn pig"

It seems that I was still kind of resentful to the wild boar since unintentionally that phrase came out by itself while licking my lips.

As I waited for the meat to cool down a bit, I decided to review the rewards from the goblin's mission. I first take out one of the most intriguing ones from the inventory, the small chest.

Placing it in front of me, I wondered if when I kill monsters in this world there is the possibility that they appear. This world is more and more like a video game as similar characteristics keep emerging.

[This chest did not appear by some law of this world Alexander, it is an additional reward from the system. And yes, you are correct in thinking that it looks like a video game, Cross's design was based on the video games of your world to make it easier for you to understand. Sometimes, when you kill monsters these chests will appear as extra rewards. What they contain depends on the chest level, the more elaborated the chest looks, the better the things it will give you. The wooden one you got is the simplest, so don't expect much]

"It's not like I can complain about something that is free"

I try to open the chest by touching it, it then shook a little as if it were alive, which really surprised me. Then the lid lifted slowly, at that moment I remember the Mimics from games, monsters with the form of a chest ready to attack you when you lower your guard, I really hope that Cross doesn't have a bad sense of humor, ending up killing me with something he gave me.

[Don't worry Alexander, no trap chests will appear, they will only be chests with objects inside]

When Aurora was comforting me the lid opened completely and several objects sprouted from inside, a gold card with a [G] on it, black leather shoes, a bigger crystal than the one I took out previously and some bottles.

[1,000x Gold] [100x Crystals] [Lizard Leather Shoes-J] [2x Potions-I]

The funny thing is that the names and description of the objects appeared on a small windows of the system. This should be my ability [evaluation] working alongside the system, but why is it appearing now and has not appeared for others things?

[It must have been because you were looking at the items thinking about what they were and your skill got activated, as for the other objects, they were probably worthless]

I see, I said as I took the gold card and the crystal in my hands. So these crystals can merge ... this can avoid me some troubles, it is good that they did not spread all over the place and I had to collect them one by one. The shoes look like they are of my size, has the system considered my current appearance or was it just good luck to get them my size? I bet is the first...

The potions are higher in quality than those given to me in the first mission. Since I am healing well enough and I'm not going to do anything risky for today, I will wait to recover completely. I'll save them for later and use what I already had, it would be a waste otherwise.

[If possible, the system automatically selects the appropriate size objects so that you can use them comfortably, excluding things with a pre-established fixed form or when you specify something different. As the system tries its best to give you what you most need at that instance as a reward. In addition, I also believe that it is better to keep the potions for later use, although there is not much difference in quality, they are superior to the others. In case you suffer more serious wounds, they can heal things that the others cannot.]

"I thought so ... finally, it seems like the food is ready, let's try it"

While listening to Aurora, I checked the condition of the meat, it seemed to have cooled a bit. I picked up the object with enthusiasm and took the knife that I had previously cleaned, cutting a good piece of the boar's leg while placing it on a plate I got from the system.

I sink my teeth on it as revenge, feeling a surge of flavor spreading through my mouth causing me to stop.

"Delicious ... this is really delicious!"

Coming out of the momentary stun, I take a bite of the meat again, soon the plate was empty, I then take the knife and cut another piece of the boar's leg. I ate as if I was afraid someone would come and take it away from me.

After a while I was licking the bone, as expected all good things must come to an end. At first, I thought that the whole leg of the wild boar would be too much and I would have to keep the leftovers in the inventory for tomorrow, but everything just entered my stomach. I am surprised that I managed to finish everything, I wonder if I will end up becoming one of those gluttonous characters like Goku or Luffy ... well, if that happens I will only have to get more food.

"With this now I forgive you damn pig"

I place my hands together in a small prayer in honor to the wild boar, if it were alive it would probably spit blood until it died again.

[Fufufu ... it is normal that it has a good taste, although it was a low level being, in this world and several others, the body of all creatures absorb world energy in their cells, after dying this energy spreads and returns to the environment once again or is absorbed by the one who killed them. However, there are still some remains in their flesh, that's why it's said dragon meat is a delicacy, since they are strong beings they store a greater amount of energy in their bodies.]

"Ooh ... dragon meat ... one thing to look forward to in the future"

Even satiated by the large amount of food I ate, I could not help salivating by imagining a flavor superior to the one I had just tasted.

"... Wait Aurora. Does that also apply to me and other humans?"

Suddenly my face turned pale at the thought of the possibility of a world full of cannibals. It can't be that they sell meat from people of a level 2 or higher soul as a treat, right?

[Well ... I think the taste of things also depends on the mentality of individuals, since usually eating meat from your peers would generate disgust or nauseous by instinct. So you should not worry about this being a world of cannibals. Although as I said, this world is very wide and varied so there could be a large number of deviants]

"Haaa ... it's good that the predominant in this world is normal. You said that when killing something you absorb the energy from the other party right?"

[Right, but not only by killing will you absorb the energy, just by fighting in a duel without killing you can achieve that, you can see it as being absorbed from the energy spent in the fight or a reward from the world, well, it's complicated because it implies the laws of the world. And for a reason equal to the previous one, people do not find themselves killing at their first meeting without have grievances, but it is certainly more common for them to seek strength by killing others]

"I think I understand. I just have to be stronger than others to secure my life."

[That's the spirit Alexander]

When Aurora cheered me up, a smile formed on my face, I cannot complain, I already have many advantages that others don't have, it will not be easy to survive here but I already expected that when I came to this world, I can only strive to survive.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already going down, there is probably a little more than an hour remaining of light. Thinking about that, I checked the inventory and took out the object that was bothering me since I got it.

"Aurora is the Summoning scroll what I think it is for?"

[Yes, it is to bring a person from another world to this one. But it is up to the person to accept and follow you. Since this does not force them to do that, you will have to convince or negotiate with the other person so that the scroll is not wasted. From the worlds you know, it's better that you choose a person who is adaptable to this world and the ties to their world are not too strong. Preferably someone who dies in their world and can take the call as a second chance]

"Fuuu ... there are many requirements, but several people come to mind that fit the description. Well, I'll think about it tonight and tomorrow I will use the scroll"

I stored the [Summoning Scroll Level 1-E] again, it shouldn't make a big difference to me in strength by her being a level 1 soul, right?

"Aurora can you explain to me how different are the souls with the increase in level?"

[Of course Alexander, Level 1 souls are like normal people consisting of your world, their physical level would be like:

1-4: A minor Child.

5-9: An average man.

10-19: A man with a developed physique.

20-49: A soldier or trained martial artist.

50-89: A Master Martial artist.

90-99: A man who is at the physical peak of a level 1 soul.

Variations of levels can be considered the experience of the individual, in addition this is only an example using your world, and in others it may be that to be considered a Master, you must reach a higher soul level and therefore physical level as well. Just take it as something to give you an idea about the levels and not as a set rule as it will not always be like that.

If you want to standardize it more, you can see it as a low level individual would be at a loss when facing a firearm, while for those of a higher level although the weapon is still deadly they can react to the movements of the one carrying the weapon and evade it.

A level 2 soul from the beginning can be considered as super men by breaking their first physical limitation and since these people are stronger, the usefulness of firearms will decline immensely at this level, although they can't be considered immune to them yet. Here the individual begins to integrate a type of energy into his body to strengthen it.

A Level 3 Soul has greater control of this energy, capable of showing strength to completely destroy houses or buildings.

The people with a level 4 Soul can be considered tactical level weapons, being able to wipe out entire cities.

Level 5 souls would be people whose powers are on par with that of natural disasters, being able to decimate entire areas of a world.

In souls from level 6 onwards I only know that divinities already come into play or are people who have reached the level of the gods. The other information is blocked, if you want to know more you will have to get close to that level]

"... uh, so a God is only level 6 ... or rather, how long will it take to reach that level? It is certainly not easy. Aurora, why do the worlds that have weapons comparable to people with a level 4 soul remain as a level 1 world?"

[Weapons are inanimate objects and the laws of the worlds only take into account the level of the souls of sentient beings]

"So not only a person with a stronger soul than me can kill me, but also someone weak but with a powerful weapon. Fuuu ..."

[That feeling is shared by everyone who is threatened by someone weaker, but with a strong weapon. You may think that this is also part of his strength, but one sure thing is that a person with a level 4 soul is much more fearsome than a person with a level 1 soul and a strong weapon, since the latter would have greater vulnerabilities]

I can imagine that. It would be possible to face a level 1 Soul with a powerful weapon taking countermeasures and making plans. But if you face a level 4 Soul you would die almost 100% of the time.

"Tomorrow will be a new day to wait for, let's rest early"

Because those things are distant, let's cut out those thoughts, let's focus first on what we can do now and we'll see what follows after that.

I got up and put out the fire by kicking some dirt on it, I took out the sleeping bag and spread it on the floor and then got inside. And as I watched the rays of the sun disappearing I began to think about the possible companion I could summon tomorrow.

I hope things go well tomorrow, even though I can talk with Aurora, someone whom I can physically interact with is a necessity as a person.

[That's cruel Alexander]

Aurora's voice claimed in the form of reproach.

"Hahaha ... I'm sorry about that Aurora, but it's not like I'll put you aside. Well, I think I'll try to sleep, good night Aurora"

[Have a nice rest Alexander. And don't worry, I will be accompanying you all your life fufufu ...]
