System Path

"What the hell is this?!"

Beng Hun did not know what he was looking at. In front of him was an interface that showed 6 paths that he could take. They read:

<Buddha's Righteousness>

<Demonic Emperor>

<Asura's Footstep>

<God's Decree>

<Enemy of the Heavens>

<Heavenly Demon>

Beng Hun was confused and did not know what to do. He pressed on one and a description was shown about them. He pressed again and a loud buzzing noise indicated if he wanted to confirm this path. Startled, He went back and carefully pressed on each of them to read about.

"Huh, they all sound so cool! But which one to choose from?"

<Buddha's righteousness - Follow the path of Buddha.>

<Those who choose this path will gain lots of enlightenment throughout their journey. It will be slow, but rewarding. You can only learn martial arts that adhere to the righteous path.>

<Chosen already!>

<Demonic Emperor - Follow the devil's path.>

<Those who choose this path will experience hardships that comes with demonic cultivation. Heart demons, shunned by others, everything. But, you will gain immense power along the way. Can only learn demonic arts.>

<Chosen already!>

<Asura's Footstep - Follow the path of Asura.>

<You will kill many foes that will stand in your way, even the heavens themselves. You will become strong, very strong in fact as the world will be turned upside down just because of your existence. But one person lies at the end, which will be the hardest challenge yet to complete your path...>

<Chosen already!>

<God's decree - Follow the will of god.>

<You will grow stronger so that you can protect those who you care for. You will help those who have been blessed by God. He will allow you to do anything, except things that he deems evil. Make sure to make him happy. You are his last child.>

<Chosen already!>

<Enemy of the Heavens - Follow the Heaven-defying path.>

<This path is the hardest. You will go beyond your limits many times along your journey just so you can defy the heavens. Striving to become better than yesterday is paramount those who follow this path. Your cultivation is bad. Your understanding is slow. You are weak. But somehow, you surprise everyone, including yourself.>

<Not chosen!>

<Heavenly Demon - Follow the path of the Heavenly Demon.>

<You will revive your Heavenly Demonic sect and bring new order to this world. But your journey doesn't stop there as you strive to become the strongest. Your title as the heavenly demon will bring fear and hope to those around you. Your unique martial art is different from those who learn the righteous and demonic arts.>

<Not chosen!>

Beng Hun was confused.

"Chosen already? What does this mean? I have so many questions... but it seems like when I press on them I can only read the description and not continue down that path. there are two options left for me."

Beng Hun was naturally lazy. His new outlook on life didn't change who he was as a person. He wanted to choose the Heavenly Demon's path. The 'Enemy of the Heavens' path seemed so undesirable to him. Why would he choose the hardest path? Why would he choose something that will slow down his vengeance? But when he pressed upon the Heavenly Demon's path...

<Chosen Already! Cannot continue down this path!>

Beng Hun was confused. Again.

"What just...? I chose the Heavenly Demon's path, but it has been chosen already. Earlier it was unlocked. How did this happen?"

"Keugh..!"

The sudden cough was heard to the right of Beng Hun. That was also where he laid his brother's corpse.

"Feng Shu...?"
