《Re: Rock》Day 1 - Knowledge (3)
Advertisement
The Soul quickly asked the Blue Screen for information on the Titles he had.
[Title] Breather of Life
Description:
Throughout the ages, many have tried to manipulate the world to their will. They have wrestled with nature and magic to fulfill their petty needs. Even so, many taboos still remain of fighting with the most ancient and sacred of them all. You, however, have challenged and succeeded in breaking the chains of creation. Life, the giver of all, bows to you.
Requirements:
- Have used only Magic and objects/items from the World [Alezerania].
- Created/Obtained a non-living object (cannot have been previously alive).
- The object must have been changed from a previously non-living state to living.
- The body must contain a sensitive, sentient [Soul] after this change.
Effects:
+20 to [Wisdom] and [Intellect] stats (Scaling with +1 to both per [Level]).
15% total bonus to [Wisdom] and [Intellect].
You gain 50% more [Experience] from all sources
Gain [Pure Life] Affinity.
The soul stared in shock at the effects of the [Title]. It was an incredibly powerful boost to his stats currently, but it was more of a 'ramp up' type of effect. As he leveled up more, the effects become more prevalent and they become more and more significant. Take, for example, the direct [Wisdom] and [Intellect] boost. It would initially be better than the +1 per level, but when his level was in the hundreds the per level boost would outstrip it to a ridiculous degree. But he was still very confused with many details of the Title. What was the [Pure Life] affinity? He knew what elemental affinity was obviously, and he knew what [Life] affinity was, but [Pure Life]? He had never heard of it!
Then, there was the fact that he had never created life, so he should have never gotten this [Title]. The experiment was as much of a failure as possible, and he had been trapped in this body, so there could not have been a new so-

Something clicked inside the soul as everything was pieced together. He once again read through the requirements of the [Title], and he suddenly burst out into laughter.
'HA! So I didn't need to create new life to get this [Title]! All I needed was the body to have become host to a soul after the change, and since the creator and the body are now the same things, I get the [Title]! Which fool made such a mess!?'
The soul laughed hard for many long minutes until he could not laugh anymore and his abdomen hurt like something was smashed into it. Then, he proceeded with the final [Title], [Transmutant].
[Title]: Transmutant
Description:
MISSINGFILE.txt is missing.
Requirements:
ERRORMESSAGE.exe executed
A mistake has been found, please continue on.
Effects:
Retain 20% of previous [Intellect] and [Wisdom]
This was... disturbing, to say the least for the soul. It gave insanely valuable information while at the same time giving nothing. The effects were pretty straightforward, giving him a nice headstart with magic related abilities and Mana pool, but nothing else too earth-shattering like the previous one. The other part of the text, however, was both intriguing and horrifying at the same time. The text used... words? Symbols? Whatever they were, it used them at the end for a totally unknown reason, but the content before basically told the whole story.
MISSINGFILE.
ERRORMESSAGE.
The screen was flawed. The screen was not all-knowing. It was such a horrifying revelation because all existence in the world based their powers on the fact that the screen was essentially a god, and that it could never be wrong. And it had never been wrong. Until now he had realized. Even previously, when he still was not fully aware there was the '%MISSINGFILE%' that he had dismissed as something he didn't care about, was now damning evidence.

'HOLY SHIT! Does this mean it can be circumvented? That we could cheat ourselves outside its influence? That we ca-'
The soul stopped himself. There was no need to think so intensely about something he couldn't even touch right now. It was nearly time to get out into the world. But first, one more question.
'What is [Pure Life] affinity?'
ERROR:
MISSINGFILE.txt is missing
'What? Even this? Why am I not that surprised anymore...'
But if even the screen didn't know, then why would he bother for now. The whole world awaited him, and he was ready for all the blood, glory, and excitement it offered.
The tutorial is nearly over. Before you get into the world of [Alezerania], please decide upon a name to call yourself. Please note, this cannot be changed under normal circumstances.
_________
The soul pondered for the longest of time. What to do, what to do. He thought and thought, then a word echoed through his mind. He knew it was the one. It was everything he aspired to be, everything that would resound through history as his achievement.
Your name has been changed from [NaN] to:
Immorta
Immorta - The immortal one.
Tutorial has finished.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
