Life Drain System Chapter 105

As if replying to her words, they each went their own directions, to get to work, except Shen Hu and Huoli, who due to spending so much chi helping the others are feeling a bit worn out. Thus the two divine tigers, and Yin walk into the room, except the two divine tigers quickly fall asleep near Meiren and the bed. Meanwhile Yin spends a few seconds preparing before instantly turning his king into an icicle.
Having just turned their leader into an icicle, Yin walks to a nearby chair before sitting down to think, and process everything that is happening. While sitting there, Meiren for the first time since arriving in this room moves towards Yin.
Sitting beside him, she asks. "I have been wondering, if Rei is going to make a machine that will stabilize him, yet you can turn him into this state why does Blake have to make a frozen super mini small world?"
Yin staring off into space, does not reply. A few moments later, Meiren jumps onto his lap with all her weight coming down, knocking him out of his daze, before asking with a face looking as if nothing just happened, and a voice of worry. "Did you hear my question?"
Sighing, Yin answers. "Yes. You see, I can freeze him the same way that Reis' machine can, however it is best to do it as soon as possible. Although this way is more risky for various reasons. You feel the temperature in this ship is cool but not freezing right?"
Meiren nods her head as if to answer, before he continues. "Alright good, well, you know how ice cracks, breaks, and melts if the temperature is too far apart? That is the current case, I am to maintain his current state so that Rei can prepare a machine that will do it for us, as well as thaw him when we are ready to help him. As for Blake, her purpose is to make a super mini small world that will be a lower degree of the home of ice, thus making sure that should the machine be lacking or fail for some reason, he will not shatter and die."
Curious Meiren asks. "So basically Blake is the fail safe?"
Yin nods his reply as he refocuses his gaze on Yue.
Seeing that all is under control for now, Meiren leaps off of his lap, back onto the floor. Then walking out of the room she looks around, while following the scent of Rei.

---- Many Minutes Later ----
Meiren walks into a room stuffed full of tools, materials, screens, papers, and so much more. Clearly looking to be designed as a workshop. Looking around the room she sees a figure with a welding mask over their face and says. "Rei, could we talk a moment?"
Hearing a voice he takes off his mask and looks in the direction it came from and seeing only Meiren, he asks. "When did you learn to speak?"
Without opening her mouth she replies. "I am pretty sure we spoke before, did you really only notice now? Also, as you can tell, I am not speaking, but instead, I am producing sound waves using chi. It took a lot of practice, however it seems to have worked out as you can understand me now."
Receiving his answer, albeit not one he expected he continues. "So you wanted something?"
She replies. "Sort of, yes and no. You see, I am worried about our approaching enemy. We have wasted enough time as it is, and honestly Yue does not need the capsule right now due to Blake creating the frozen super mini small world. Thus, I feel that before we all end up dying because of trying to focus on one mater, instead of multi tasking, we should get this space craft up in the skies."
Before letting him comment, she continues. "Look, we are all worried, but if we end up dying before we can deal with the matter at hand, then what is the point? Therefore, could you fly this spacecraft as I do not know how, and the only two others who can are working on saving our king, that being you and Blake."
Seeing the determination in her eyes he says. "I understand, by now they should have caught our scent so to speak. However, while I go fly this ship, you should try waking the others since you are the only one not sleeping or dying who can."
Finishing what he had to say, he puts the equipment away, so as to not be a hazard of some sort. As he starts walking towards the door way, he sees that Meiren has already left the room, putting a smile on his face as he thinks. 'Our king is fortunate to have come across such loyal companions.'
Walking out of the room, about 10 minutes later, he arrives in the cockpit. Sighing and smiling at the wonderful work that he and his people have done, he sits in the pilots seat thinking. 'It is a good thing this was designed so that it only needs one person rather than a crew to fly.'

Finishing his thought, looking at the small array of controls before him, he presses a button on his left. A few seconds later the mountain cap starts flying up and to the right of him. Then he reaches to his right slowly pushing one of the two levers up to power up the thrusters but not wanting to launch himself into something he does it slowly. Once high enough in the air, he reaches for a joystick looking thing and pushes it forward causing the ship to fly forward, and using his left hand reaching for another he pulls back to aim the ship upward.
Meanwhile the mountain cap flies back over the mountain before returning to its original resting place.
Guiding the ship into the right direction, Rei pushes the lever the remaining way it has left to go full speed. Then Rei says aloud. "System, map this solar system and our path as we are flying so as to not get lost."
A second later, a female voice resounds in the cockpit. "It has been done. Also, detecting anomaly in one of the residential rooms. Someone seems to be dying, shall I send the medic bots to deal with the matter?"
"No need, it is not something that can be fixed at the moment, however keep observing him incase of change. Also, see if you can learn anything a bout his situation to further your abilities. While we are at it, set a course for the nearest uninhabited planet in another solar system." Rei instructs.
The system quickly responds. "Understood, however, what should I do about those unknown creatures following us? They seem to be hostile, should we take evasive maneuvers?"
Hearing this Rei immediately says. "Yes, and boost our speed to light speed. I know it will make the mapping more rough, but those wendigos will kill us otherwise."
"Understood, it is being done, and species: wendigo being analyzed and added to system database." The system replies.
Rei feeling worry at this point, quickly gets out of his seat and walking to the door, grabs a wristband. Placing it on his wrist a screen pops up, and a voice resounds. "Pilot synchronization has been successfully paired."
On the screen Rei saw the ship in a 3d hologram before him as he pushed it flat. Returning to the pilot seat, he says. "Activate weapons should they get within 300 meters, or if any projectile nears that distance."
The female voice resounds from the bracelet once again. "Weapons activated and armed. By the way, the hostile wendigos are currently speeding up and approaching us. Should we continue at the current speed, we will likely be caught by the enemy in 2 minutes."
Sighing, knowing there is not much he can do, he says. "Fine, since it has come to this, prepare for a jump."
The system quickly replies. "Warning, mapping of this galaxy is not complete, and is unknown. Should this order be fulfilled, the location will be undetermined, and could result in death for all aboard. Shall I fulfill this order?"
Rei answers with a sigh. "Why not, we are all risking our lives at this point anyways. Yes, prepare jump to a random location."
"Warning overridden, teleportation jump commencing in 4 seconds." She (the system) replies.
Meanwhile, sensing an unknown energy build up, the wendigos speed up, and strengthen their chi made defensive fields just in case.
"Warning, the wendigos have sped up, and will arrive in 6 seconds."
"Just focus on getting us out of here. Should they get close enough, release the devices Blake made. They should be able to stall if not deal with them for a little while." Rei comments.
"Warning, those devices will likely cause permanent damage to said area of space. Do you still want to use these?" The system warns.
Looking at the enemy approaching and soon to be with in the 300 meter range, while the ship could have attacked from 100 times that distance, he did not want to tick them off even more. However seeing this, he exclaims immediately. "Do it now!"
Without further delay the system shoots out two balls, that in the next second disrupt the space around them. The ship disappearing, and the wendigos flying into the disruption all disappear from that area of space before reappearing elsewhere. Seeing the teleportation worked without a hitch, and they are alive Rei releases a sigh before checking the holographic screen before him.

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.
