Chapter 7 Scared Witless

With surprise written on his face he shouted in confusion, “How is this related to me?!”

He was just walking in the middle of the night when the earth suddenly split.

[Overflow of Energy from William Walker

Cause: Foreign Intruder.

Bahis Walker.

Bahis’s presence has affected surrounding energy, collapsing, spreading, and overflowing it negatively. Bahis’s kin continues to do the same, World Energy cannot confine or control the energy affected.]

“Grandfather isn’t from here?” William had heard of how amazing his grandfather was and how it passed down, but he would've never suspected it’d be because of this.

“Why am I here now though?”

A picture of the old family necklace popped out.

[Bahis Family Treasure

Use: Absorbs energy impacts and natural disasters making them their own.]

“So I collected your energy and now the world is collapsing?”

[Yes.

The World Energy was absorbed.

World is now sustaining on other energy’s.

Death will now be higher in occurrence.]

“This can’t be good.”

He sat on the couch and pondered on everything he had learned. Even though he was the cause he didn’t exactly have the skill set to help.

And how many years would it take in another world to collect energy? Wouldn’t everyone be dead by the time he came back. He needed more information.

“Tell me everything I need to know.”

[…]

[You will travel to dimensions far from here. You will take the form of another being through your energy’s consciousness.

You CANNOT be noticed. If a world consciousness finds you, you will be obliterated.

If another foreign entity finds you, you will be obliterated.

Once you're there, you’ll have to complete a series of actions at random. You have to complete the original being's life to collect their lifetime energy, through that you will collect the world's energy naturally.

You cannot die too early though. You have to live for as long as possible.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

You can do almost whatever you like in that world as long as it doesn’t differ too much from the original’s personality and you complete the tasks given.

If you complete the job exceptionally well, you will be able to sustain a space and items.]

“What kind of tasks will I receive?”

[Small to large things depending on the individual you possess, you will not possess anyone of great importance as your conscience won’t be able to handle it.

Examples:

Eat 100 different types of ice creams.

Kick a brick.

Many tasks will be given in each world, each task brings energy to a certain degree.]

“Alright, how will I be able to adapt to the world's culture and lifestyle though? And what about the originals family?”

[Each world has people with luck or misfortune beyond human capability, since it’s natural the world can handle it. Think ‘Main Characters’ and ‘Villains’ of a novel. You'll possess what most call a ‘Cannon Fodder’ or ‘Background Character’

The world will have a general direction in their fate that they meticulously control to keep them from destroying the world. I’ll give you a ‘Novel’ of sorts to go through.

And with you taking over their bodies I’ll be able to go through their system with our world energy to solidify their energy into a string of data you can view.]

‘I feel like this World Energy thing is becoming more corporal?’ William thought to himself. The more he talked with the Energy the more it developed a sort of being.

Like A.I becoming more human.

[Booting Host into Basic Plane…]

“What?! I’m not ready!”

[We have no time. Call ‘System’ when you need me, like a sort of ‘ON’ button , otherwise I have no way of contacting you.]

His consciousness swirled and phased through the walls. He only saw a flash of light before he was suddenly plunged into a planet.

“Ugh!” He shouted out.

“What the hell man. Be quiet! We need to escape before Butch wakes up.” Someone whispered and covered his mouth.

William looked around in surprise. It was dark, likely night time, and three men were standing around him. They crouched slightly as their faces were hit by the light of the fire.

A man, presumably Butch was sleeping, he was leaning against the tree with his head down. His body was buff and his face was extremely masculine.

“W-what?” William asked. The situation had taken him by surprise and he didn’t know what to do.

The three looked at each other, then one said worriedly “You don’t think…”

“What’s my name?” One of them asked him.

William stuttered but couldn’t say anything, everything was happening too fast.

“He is!” One shouted. They all jumped in surprise and quickly covered his mouth.

Looking over scared witless they almost pissed their pants, William included, when they saw Butch with his eyes open staring at them like a beast.

Silently screaming they all scattered like rats.

William stared as they all ran and started to feel a cold sweat coming on when he saw Butch still staring at him.

Gulping William sat down on his ass as his legs gave out on him.

“Why aren't you running, Rome?”

Scared out of his wits and forgetting where he was he said back quizzically “R-Rome?”

“You couldn’t be?” Butch said with eyes wide, he quickly made his way to William. He practically flew and grabbed him by his chin.

Almost crying, William said “D-Don’t kill me.”

“You…” Butch looked at him almost sadly and sighed. “Seems you have been taken by the Recomem.”

William only looked at him and stood stiffly.
