Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Caw!

Caw! Caw!

The loud sound of crow cawing, originating from the tall canopy above, quickly resounded within the dark and bland cemetery, greeting the slowly rising sun on the far horizon- dissipating parts of thick grey fog on the tranquil land as its heat quietly grazed parts of its vastness.

Within the damp wooden house, deep within the cemetery. The bloodshot eyes of the three humans hurriedly gazed at the ball of the floating flame above the far horizon upon seeing its yellowish light lightly illuminate the exterior of the room, heavily sighing in relief upon finally seeing the light of the day- causing their restless and panic being to calm down drastically.

"We survive... we survive upon staying in this place for a night!"

The teenager weakly mumbled under his breath- half dazed due to the lack of sleep as he lightly clenched his semi-paralyzed palm, almost couldn't believe that everything transpired yesterday night.

Although the unknown being already gave them his assurance of safety, their paranoia didn't allow them to easily trust any stranger.

Moreover, in addition to the environment they were currently in and the craziness of the unknown being (based on their perspective), their wariness reached its peak! Causing them to immediately wake up upon hearing the slightest amount of noise- hence to their current state...

"Should we leave this place and find a new place to hide?"

Upon momentary silence, the man wearing leather armour speaks in a deep hushed voice, gazing toward the two unconscious men on the bed in the corner of the room before unhurriedly shifting his gaze toward the haggard yet pale faces of the two.

"Sigh... Where to go? We survive a night in this place, it only means that it was doable to hide for a while in this kind of place.

"Besides that, did you notice any beasts that entered this forsaken place?"

Roy asks with unprecedented seriousness, his gaze not leaving the rising sun as he ponders cautiously... Deducting the best outcome for them.

"This, no..."

After thinking for a second, the teenager and the man shook their head in unison, also sighing in conflict.

"Indeed, the core formation realm cultivator couldn't protect the vastness of the cemetery every time... It only means that some of his puppet's strengths reach at least the Foundation realm!

"That alone already makes this place safe!"

Roy replied in a heavy tone, unable to understand why he still hadn't heard of a particular being that could create a moving puppet within the town.

"Did the Nascent Soul being within the town want to hide the being residing within this place to catch the future enemy off guard?'

He lightly thought, couldn't fathom how those powerhouse minds work. However, without enough proof, Roy could only guess blindly- wanting to find reason even though it was unclear.

Huff~

Within the forsaken pit, where lights weren't allowed to illuminate. Dense amount of rich darkness could be seen hastily surging toward a single location, creating a sphere of anomaly beyond one's knowledge as the being within it hurriedly absorbs its unprecedented energy...

Huff~

Within, the continuously heavy sound of breathing, akin to countless cries of souls quietly spread toward the innumerable passages that lead to the unknown- making the curious abomination within to hurriedly scramble without a thought.

+10 exp!

+10 exp!

+10 exp!

Slowly, the Qi, or to be exact, the sphere of darkness enveloping the unknown being began to shrink in size- slowly unfolding the shadow being within its centre as the Qi (darkness) visibly entered its gaping mouth... Circulating within its unknown physique before resting within its illusionary core- increasing the accumulation of its Qi in the process...

+10 exp!

Boom!

Abruptly opening his eyes, the void seemed to suffer a momentary stillness before a loud imaginary sound resounded within the enclosed passage, pushing the ink-black water beneath forward- creating a wave that rippled toward the far distance.

Huff~

"Finally, I finally reach the peak of the foundation realm!

"I could even immediately initiate advancing toward the Core Formation realm if I circulate my Qi for a while!"

Leo exclaimed within his being, feeling that he could focus all of his Qi toward his illusionary core any time he wanted to start breaking through above his realm... However, Leo doesn't plan to do that yet since he still hasn't prepared enough!

He still lacks the confidence to endure and face the unending onslaught of lightning that would appear in the middle of his breakthrough!

"Keke~ There's no rush, it's better if I prepared more so I could avoid unnecessary risk.'

Leo thought with a demonic grin, unable to hide the fluctuation of his shadow being due to pure anticipation upon thinking of the changes he would gain after advancement...

He concluded that his strength would at least increase by folds upon advancement (based on his guess upon watching the advancement of the white rabbit)!

Smiling foolishly, Leo leisurely opened his character panel to see his current attribute stats- wanting to see the difference after he advances toward the Core Formation realm, for future comparison.

"Keke~ Great! Two of my attribute stats actually entered above 250 in number!

"Moreover, my soul attribute even entered the staggering 400 in amount!"

Leo excitedly thought as he casually examined his half-solid soul in anticipation- making him clench his shadow palm in eagerness upon noticing that he almost gained the physical embodiment of the soul, the literal physical body of the soul based on the knowledge of his cultivation technique!

A physical body that didn't rely on the "Physical Body of the Soul" skill to materialize!

Exhaling softly, calming his surging emotions within. Leo began to summarize the new knowledge he had learned from his "Undying Soul Conqueror" cultivation technique...

Making him fall into deep thought before finally mumbling under his voice...

***

"I actually didn't manage to fully comprehend the first parts of my cultivation technique, almost causing me to miss the chance of gaining a physical body!"

Fortunately, I use a couple of enlightenment stones toward it, increasing my comprehension by levels! Perfectly allowing me to delve toward its vastness before I advance!

Leo thought thankfully- pausing for a while before again continuing speaking in a low voice, leisurely letting the cold ink-black water beneath him seep toward his being.

"The first step toward the materialisation of the soul...

"Making the soul dense that even a mortal being was able to discern it (100 soul power attributes).

"Condense and Shrink the soul power toward the surface of the soul, causing it to be able to interfere with the material world, although a little. (250 soul power attributes).

"Upon condensing the soul, making one's soul manifestation clear- slowly began to temper it using external force... until one's soul achieved a corporeal form, successfully attaining the physical embodiment of the soul that was almost comparable to a normal physique! (500 soul power attributes.)"

Moreover, upon tempering the soul, he would still retain the advantages of being a soul species and some of the advantages of having a physical body!

Making his being and strength above the normal standards of humans and soul species in the same realm!

Sigh.

"There are a lot of secrets within this cultivation technique, making me wonder whether the one who created it was also a soul being or an immortal.'

...

Glancing toward the depths of the passage, letting his thoughts wander for a good while. Leo unhurriedly stood up from the ground, causing the ink-black water that stuck to his shadow being flow downward, unhindered.

"Huff~ It's morning again, I should start creating potions to upgrade my class job,

"It's best if it advances toward the uncommon grade before I start breaking through toward the core formation realm!"

Leo thought in determination as he rushed toward the surface of the land, leaving a blur behind his previous location, making the wind part away...
