Freedom from Death?

Freedom from Death?

BANG*BANG*

"AAARRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!"

Blake looked at the madness that was occurring in front of him. People being shot dead every second. Dead eyes even though they were alive. Starvation.

He felt the depression that was present in the air.

Scream*

Blake heard the sound of a man screaming while charging at him with a knife.

He easily dodged and punched the man in his jaw with full force.

Crack*

The sound of bones cracking could he heard as he completely broke and dislocated the mans jaw.

Blake then took out his pistol and shot the man dead.

"Weak." That was the only word that came out of Blake's mouth.

He didn't feel anything even after killing the man, no fear, no guilt, no anxiety, no crisis, just deep emptiness.

He was already used to this life. He stole and killed people from a young age. He deceived the adults and showed them his 'weakness' but just killed them with the utilization of tools.

There was no morals in this world. His parents had tried to kill him because of his weird eyes that were pitch black except for his pupils which were white.

But he didn't let them stop him and he killed his parents as well.

Due to his unusual eyes he had been a target of violence. But he didn't let them stop him. He grew and grew until he became a god of this new world.

He was nicknamed 'Raging Asura' due to his violent and cruel nature.

But even he had his weak moments.

Even if he was called a god among men. He had a fatal weakness...He was still human.

He couldn't kill the group called 'Apex' that were made up of the greatest and most experienced mercenaries, and their first work was to hunt him down.

He had just used a hit and run tactic to kill members from faraway with his guns but after a few hours, they had caught up. So he had no option than getting into a close ranged fight as all his bullets had ran out.

And for some strange reason, they didn't use any ammunition and just tried to kill him with knifes and fists only. He gussed the reason for such a situation was due to the fame he had for being a god in close combat. So they wanted to beat him at his own game.

But it wasn't like he wasn't used to such large fights, no he was growing at a fast rate but he couldn't grow fast enough as after killing nearly 200 of their members he had reached his capacity and was filled with over 50 stab wounds in important tendons and organs.

He was about to die. 'Looks like this is it. I can see 30 more mercenaries in front of me. I can hear the foot steps of 13 more behind my back. Looks Like I was no God.'

Blake realized no matter how famous he was, no matter how strong he was. No one would remember him in 50 years. Living with no meaning and dying meaninglessly as well.

He swung his fists and striked another guy but he slowly got overwhelmed.

A broken eye. Severely broken ribs. Broken and dislocated arms. His heart slowly down as he felt his body becoming colder. His eyes grew heavy as he felt the mercenaries stop attacking him. He looked at them as he saw their insane expressions slowly turn to sorrow. They started bowing down to him as they muttered.

"God is dead."

'Fucking Crazies.' Blake took his last dying breath.

Untill he saw it.

Texts appeared infront of his eyes in purple color.

[All Requirements Met. Connecting to the host....Host is in Critical Condition....initiating...Soul Transfer...Completed.]

Blake saw the texts slowly changing as he finally closed his eyes.

Blake Hart. The Raging Asura had been killed.

But unknown to the maniacs of Earth-666. His journey had just begun.

***

'...I am alive?' Blake felt slightly surprised as he slowly calmed down and tried to open his eyes but was unable to.

He tried moving his body and he didn't feel it at first but he felt extremely small and weak.

As if he would die from the weakest of touch.

'So they amputated my limbs but kept me alive?' Blake still thought he was in his old world..but he had one hell of a suprise left for him.

He suddenly felt movement around him as his world got brighter.

He realized he had started to cry, as he was swept away by confusion at his sudden crying. He finally opened his eyes as he saw a beautiful looking women look at him. He felt her loving gaze as he slowly looked at his body.

He had been born again as a child.

'...wtf...what is going on?' Blake was completely shocked now.

*7 Year time Skip*

Blake was currently in deep meditation as he tried to enhance his senses and was magnifying them to their limits.

"Young Master Blake. Duke Andrew is calling for you." Answered his butler as he slowly opened his eyes that were still pitch black with white pupils.

"Inform Father, I will be there soon." Blake repleid as he was starting to get used to this life.

His days were filled with sword practice, energy cultivation, meditation and it just kept repeating for over 5 years.

But he felt he could do better as he finally saw the thing that should have brought him here.

It didn't take blake a long time to get used to these screen tabs, that continued to pop up in front of him.

After 7 years in this new world, he had gotten used to many new things. His New Parents. His new Surroundings. And specially his new powers.

He saw these tabs and got dressed up to meet his father. It was his test day.

=== (This means a POV change)

'He should be coming soon.' Though Andrew Hart as he couldn't stop a huge smile from forming on his face.

'I still remember the first day I saw him.'

Andrew started remembering the day Blake was born.

It was a winter night where his wife Elizabeth, had given birth to another one of his children. But this one was special. More special than all of his children.

He still remembers the first time he made eye contact with that child.

Andrew had a special ability to measure the potential of any person he had eye contact with. It was this ability that made him a duke of the Empire.

Shiver*

A shiver had ran down his spine, as he saw the Black eyes of his son, and instantly saw his potential. That was larger than anything he had ever seen.

Even though his son was so small. Mentally he was already as big as a mountain.

'Time to test how much he had grown.' Andrew thought as he walked over and took out a wooden sword and threw it towards his east.

=== (Back to the Mc's POV)

"Good Evening Father." Blake replied as he caught the sword his father threw towards him.

"Why so Stiff boy? Loosen up, this test is a easy one for you." His father got into a fighting stance and quickly charged at him and striked with a vertical slash.

Even though he should have been going fast for someone at the level of Blake. His movements couldn't be any slower as blake used his sword to parry his fathers sword and stabbed straight at his chest.

His father easily blocked his move, but it was a bait and in the final moment, he changed his sword movement to horizontally strike at his fathers liver.

Boom*

A low striking sound could be heard as his blade reached his fathers side but instead of any real damage, only his sword was broken.

"...You have obtained total mastery of the basics now haven't you?" His father asked as his smile got wider.

"It is time now. You should choose to learn one of our families legendary martial arts. Sadly it is too late today, so get up early tomorrow. It will be the day you choose your first true martial art."

He bowed towards his father and entered his room, as he decided it was today that he would spend his bio-essence to gain a new trait.

He opened his <> window and clicked on 'Awaken Trait'.

He waited for his new and current final trait that he could gain. He expected that as his ranking got higher. He would be able to gain more traits.

>>Your attack speed, durability and dexterity of your mechanical arms will be increased by 400%.

Instantly his 1000 Bio-Essence was gone.

Then he decided to buy a few skills for his new trait.

He clicked on 'Awaken Skill' 3 times.

He felt his arms asking to be allowed to fuse with ultimanium and he allowed it as a layer of a metallic armor grew on top of his arms.

He punched forward as his attack speed, destructive damage and many things had been enhanced to be 4 times as strong.

He tried making more arms come out of his back and instantly 4 more metallic armored arms manifested from his body as, he stood in front of a large punching bag and threw a volley of punches that made a booming sound on impact destroying the bag in a matter of seconds.

'With this new trait, learning the new martial art tomorrow will be easy.' Blake though as he continued to practice using his 6 arms or 4 arms effectively in a fight and just continued practicing.
