Orphaned Soul(DISCONTINUED)

1

My name is Cyla, I possess no last name to speak of, when I was 4 I was orphaned in the woods, my intellect and knowledge was enough to allow me even as a young child to survive, for some reason I never died no matter what, I've been stabbed, burned, dismembered, dissected, poisoned, destroyed and even melted, and yet I always returned to my original shape, though for some reason any injuries put on my body below my neck or on my neck always scarred over and stayed like that, I have many scars, but only scars of knife, sword and metal inflicted wounds, I don't have burn wounds or anything like that.

To tell you the truth I don't really care, I've gotten used to the pain, that is to say I still feel it, but I'm not hindered by it anymore. Because of my lack of interest in life I never cared about anything, my life is hell, and I want to end it, but sadly I can't die.

Today is my birthday, my 16th birthday to be exact, I have been orphaned for 12 years, I don't eat, sleep, or drink, I do however go to the closest library and read, the librarian there has taken a liking to me and let's me read all I want, that is as long as I don't damage the books in anyway.

At the moment I am in an ally staring at the rats that are nibbling my skin like some kind of large deceased meal, I like the rats, their interesting, I like all living things, besides myself, I heard that scientists once's theorized that we were descendants of [Insects] they stayed that [Insects] were dinosaurs that were smaller than the average hand.

That is to say, [Insects] are extinct. As the rats were nibbling on my skin, a child came running and scared the rats away, I watched them scurry away then looked at the child, the child than said to me "Cheer up, Onee-Chan looks hurt, eat this, you'll feel better, I think you should work harder ok!" I grab the apple she kindly offers me and say "Thank you, for the food." She smiles and runs off, I start to eat the apple.

Once I'm finished eating my food, I stand up and watch as my wound heal, everyone possesses skills, I have 2, the first is [Immortal] it allows me to live forever, than [Steal] it allows me to take other peoples skills, we call them skills, but their actually magic, all magic is categorized is 5 parts, Elemental, Color, Holy, Demonic and Null, Elemental magic is all magic that controls what surrounds us, like air, ice, fire, etc.

Color magic is magic that takes the form of a color, how this magic is used depends on its [Skill], Holy magic is like healing and light magic, Demonic magic is like rot and shadow magic, lastly is Null, this magic is for any magic that doesn't belong in the other 4 groups, my two [Skills] or magic, belong in the Null section, so far.

Every living thing possesses a skill, though most only possess low level Null magic, like the common rabbit possesses the skill [speed] this magic allows the rabbit to be fast, all rabbits and those of similar race have that skill.

I stretch and look around, I look at my rags for clothes and look around, I spot a rubbish bin nearby and walk to it, I dig through it and find a suit case, this ally is the ally where most murder and theft cases start and end at, this bin is concealed by a skill called [illusion] but such magic does not work on me, I also find a dead body, I then mutter [Steal] then a monotone voice in my head says •Fire magic learned• this voice always speaks in monotone, from the book I read, this voice is the 'world System' everyone here's this voice it does not say anything but updates and notifications.

I guess I have fire magic now, some people don't posses a singular skill, therefor they eat a singular magic type instead, like for example some may get the Fire ball skill, which means they can only use fireballs nothing less nothing more, but the fire magic skill, means they can use all magic related to fire, I only [Steal] from dead bodies, this is the first dead body I've been able to steal from.

I move to the darkest corner of the ally and opened the suit case, inside is a bunch of weapons strapped to the top, there is clothes, money, and a satchel bag inside, the satchel bag is 'SMB' Inscribed on it, SMB stands for Spacial Magic Bag, it's a bag that holds more than an average bag.

The ID inside the bag has the face of the dead woman, also my [Steal] skill kills whoever I steal from, unless of course they have more than one skill, a living things life force is our skill. A person with more than one skill has an added 30 years added onto their lives per extra skill, that is if they are not poisoned or killed before their time is up.

I see that the woman is the same size as me so I grab the only good clothes their and put them on and test out my new skill and burn the rest of the clothes, I successfully use the skill besides slightly burning my hand, but it heals almost immediately. Right now I am wearing a black long sleeved dress, I am wearing black leggings and back knee-high boots and a black scarf, I'm also wearing black undergarments and lastly I'm wearing the SMB satchel with the suitcase inside.

The System tells the owner what's inside when they touch the bag and say 'info' this is not magic it's a built in world rule, it works on everything but things that can move like animals and humans, but it does work on plants and buildings.

I stand up and walk out of the ally I first head to the government register building so that I can be registered as a citizen of the country.
