Soul Search [靈魂搜索]

Chapter 1.1

A/N: Guys idk why my prologue is published as a 'private' story so it can't be read for some reason and like wtf I just realised, which makes me so annoyed because it would have been so confusing to read 1.1 without the prologue. If anyone knows how to reverse that issue please let me know!! But without further ado, this is the prologue + chapter 1.1: 

PROLOGUE

[Congratulations System 000002, data collection complete-- self-improvement functions will trigger in 3...2...]

[...]

[...1, transferring data to be analysed and condensed... 10%]

What's this- ...'data collection'?

[Data collection for system 000002 complete. ]

"..hah?"

The first thing I experienced, upon becoming a being, was the echo of my disbelief into the infinite Xinhai space. The second, was being violently pulled into a vortex as my stunned mind reacted to the non-robotic voice that.. appeared to belong to me?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a spacious and luxuriously decorated room, the peach blossom eyes of a delicate youth emerging into puberty fluttered open abruptly- before the azure grey orbs encased within dilated in surprise. 'What's going on? I was in the Xinhai space when my-', the boy didn't even have time to blink, never mind contemplating his situation, before groaning in pain as intense pain assaulted his brain.

After the pain slightly lessened, his gaze lowered towards the delicate and pale hands which flexed and squeezed as his mind willed, making the boy frown in bewilderment. Curious eyes then searched in wonderment around the room: he sat on a massive, fluffy bed with hundreds of books buried into every surface of where there should be walls- 'if it wasn't for the bed right in the centre of the room, I would have thought this was a wealthy family's personal library', the tender adolescent hummed to himself in appreciation.

As if reaching a sudden understanding, his countenance then softened significantly, as those doe-like azure eyes shut tightly to digest the new information in his brain. Though he had no data previously stored in his hardware about systems becoming hosts, he more or less had a solid idea about the sudden predicament he was in.

Yes, system 000002 was incredibly familiar with this sort of setting, having witnessed a millennium of similar situations as a 2nd party.

A host, thrown into a new world is immediately assaulted by the mental attack which transfers heavily condensed memory data. 'His hosts had always, without fail, complained the most about this painful process. Sigh, now he could sympathise with them, the pain really was awful- bad enough to fly into a terrible rage and throw insults', he mused soundlessly.

Turning his attention back to the current situation, System 000002 pondered slowly.. It seems that the current world he had been sent to was a modern world similar to earth's 21st century. He was in the body of a 15 year old youth called Yun Wuqiong in a country called 'Weiqi', that was socially progressive with a constitutional monarchy and a fast developing economy.

"Yun..Wuqiong.." the boy's delicate voice chimed into the spacious room.

'What a strange name... have I heard it before?' With confusion, the boy sat contemplating as he tasted the sound of his first name as a human- whispering softly again and again to himself.. "Yun Wuqiong.. Yun Wuqiong.."
