《Super Realm》Trade? More like lab rats

The days passed.
The cage was no longer full, as many had given up on training and believed that the game might still be in the alpha phase. Sadly, no game developer had taken a stand for answering questions towards the capsule.
Besides the lifelike feeling and miraculous one-time healing ability, there was nothing else replayed in the news.
Some trolls came up with crazy theories, saying those were alien inventions and experimentation capsules, which led to the mothership. The military strictly prohibited entering the capsules, but nobody listened to them since the feeling was so real.
Luo Si still visited SR to refine practiced manipulating the invisible energy particles. It felt very rough and could only be slightly attracted or repelled.
'Shit.'
4 days had gone by and the refinement was getting better and better. Yet because of that, her body was now reacting to Qi and her meridians started to get active.
It would have been an excellent feeling for others and they would spew blood if they knew that Luo Si was actually worried.
'I don't want to be the first one. At least not yet.' She stopped her training and just sat there as if waiting for something.
Her eyes wandered as she felt a change of energy fluctuation in the room. "Oh my, so the first to open the path of cultivation was from this village."
"Hah, hah, hya." A young Indian was sweating as he practiced moves over and over.
"Come on, Kushan. It's about to get morning. Let's log out for today. Maybe there will happen something better later-on."
"Hah, wait a second. I think I can feel those particles in the air the book is talking about. Just give me a moment." Kushan was stoically practicing the combination of breathing and moving after a martial art called Kalarippayattu.
"Alright, you can still practice this stupid book, but I'm going." His friend was about to leave, when suddenly a strange popping was heard.
"Hah!" Kushan kicked out and a visible airwave came out accompanied by a soft gatling fire.
PAPAPAPAPAPAP*
He felt refreshed. As if nature was helping him regain his power.
"Yeah, I did it. Let me try it again." Kushan threw another kick after he exhaled a deep breath. "This is amazing!"
"Hya!" A slight blast was created was created from his energetic looking kick. It was barely noticeable, but the people around could feel it.

"Oh my god. How did you do that?" A girl next to him could feel a slight breeze from the kick.
The excitement spread and many people, notably girls, rushed at Kushan, wanting him to teach them. A part of the mainstream players defected from their arts, believing that there was only one that was real until proven elsehow.
'As expected, one of them awakened first. But it's still weird.' Even Luo Si had raised an eyebrow on her face. The reason was a totally different though. "Hm."
"Hehe, don't worry ladies. This man will now give you more room as I will kick this cage open." Kushan had a bright smile on his face as he jumped towards the fence, ready to break it open.
Yet when he came in contact with the cage bars, they had, as if they were just illusion, let him through.
"What the!?" Kushan had not expected no resistance, and slipped and fell in front of a guardian.
The guardian was shocked, as he had thought those barrels would resist in some way, but just like everything was an illusion, the steel bars defected.
Kushan jumped back up, but before he could do anything else, a strong voice from the side yelled, "HALT!"
Kushan stopped in his movement. A strong man in silver armor, that looked to be the highest authority present, pointed at the ground. "Come here."
Kushan widened his eyes as he found out that he could understand the guardian. He had believed them to be mute. It took him a while to get out of the daze and walk up to the soldier.
The commanding soldier had whispered something to another colleague, who ran outside after hearing the command.
"Can you understand?" The silver armored man asked.
"Yes." Kushan nodded, but the guards face only followed halfway.
"Why do you not use qi in voice?"
Kushan only understood later why he felt so weird when he heard the soldier. He tried to feel the qi in the air and absorb it in his breath. Feeling his lungs filled to the brim he blasted it all out nearly screaming "I UNDERSTAND!"
"Good now I can hear you." The man in armor fingered his left ear, hurting from the half-matured scream.
The sent guard came back shortly after leaving and said, "the village chief wants to see it."

"Alright," the guard in front of Kushan nodded his head. He turned his head back to the 2 heads smaller Indian. "You follow him outside. He will bring you to the chief."
Kushan Owen was excited hearing that he could go outside the tomb.
The others inside the cage did not know what happened since they did not understand what the guards verbally exchanged, but they were becoming thrilled just beholding that there was a way out. Especially Kuilei, considering the fact that he had found a way to hurt Luo Si. 'Just train and become stronger.'
Books were grabbed like free real estates and intensive practice took place. The cage became crowded again as many had been socially notified that somebody escaped the cage.
Watching from above it looked like many small clusters of fish-schools, moving in union. At least it was tried.
Everyone was concentrating so much that many closed their eyes. It was shortly made clear that this was not the place to develop such ideas and it got more chaotic by the minute.
"Hey watch it!"
"Stop speaking in your peasant language. English or muted."
"Blyat."
Time passed and after roughly what felt like an hour or two everyone found their space.
TAPAPAPAP…*
The enforced order didn't last long as yet another barrage of noises traveled through the cell, bringing the different divisions back into disarray.
"Shit! I was so close to feeling it. Whoever got lucky, come here and let me rip you one off."
"Feeling it? Feeling it up your a** maybe. I should be the next one to leave."
The curses flew, but sharply decreased after all eyes turned towards the source. For it turned out that the noise was coming from outside the cell.
Some continued on, thinking it was just the guard's change. However, those closer to the exit at least noticed that the incoming mob was wearing different attire.
'Greedy sharks. Couldn't even last a second longer.' Luo Si cracked a smile while looking at the visitors. "But that also quickens things up."
Stepping out of the crowd she leaned against the prison walls, listening to the verbal clash of two different civilizations.
It did not take long for a weird sort of communication to form between the two parties considering neither side was lacking in creativity.
But It needed some failing attempts first since the general interaction from mouth to mouth had failed before it had even begun.
After some time passed by, trading's happened.
The businessmen started to write contracts on some yellowish paper. Both sides signed the contract with a drop of blood. The terms were simple. The players had to work in exchange for goods since there was nothing else to trade with but labor.
Two yellow wisps separated from the paper and formed a faint chain-tattoo around the wrist. The paper set itself on fire and vanished.
Many though of exploiting a loophole by dying after signing in order to escape their side of the deal. The businessmen had a grim face at first after the player killed himself, but showed an evil grin later on when the player cried seeing the chain on his hand again.
The most popular item to be traded were pills. Small balls that had this strange worldly energy stored inside and would have a certain effect after been swallowed.
The first who had eaten the pill died explosively. The others only found out after they were told that they had to train in order to digest the energy of the pill.
PAPAPA:::*
Popping sounds could be heard an incense later.
"HAH!" a well-trained American student enflamed for a moment after he punched the air with all his might.
"WOAH, as expected of last year's karate champion, John Cage!" The martial boy-group gathered around the newly awakened.
"And that flame. Only someone like you could achieve that." It was the cheerleader group that had kept an eye on Luo Si, but had ignored the latter as she did nothing but sitting still.
The businessman was shocked and excited as well. "By the kings grace. If my eyes do not deceive me, you my boy seem to have awakened a fire vein and it's even an advanced fire vein. This is something only to be seen in the Kingdom amongst the noble blood."
"HAH!" The newly awakened threw out another fist. It was not as spectacular as the previous one, emitting a fiery heatwave none the less.
John barely suppressed a smirk. "An advanced tier fire vain. Of course. Anything else would be beneath my standards."
"Now this is interesting." Luo Si straightened up looking at the second awakened being led to meet the village chief as well.

Embrace the Blade
Born crippled, it was no surprise when James Ransom died young, but he was offered an opportunity - a mission: to go to a new world and become strong enough to kill the hidden boss behind the final boss. Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on. If you want to check out the original you can find it here (just a warning that they are NOT good): ETB Drafts 1&2 If you came here from the original EtB, WELCOME!!
