In an unknown world, in an undisclosed corner of an unknown universe.
"Where… is this?" Leylin muddled truesoul, which faintly regained it's consciousness, sized up the surroundings, stunned.
Leylin's new occupied body woke up with a start. His head was throbbing in pain, as if it was filled with lead and it felt extrely heavy.
Once the pain faded slightly, Leylin found himself in a dimly lit stone cave which was the size of a basketball court. Piles of bones were scattered all over the place, and a dozen corpses covered in strange clothes lay beside him.
"..." Leylin didn't waste his ti forming any speculation about his whereabouts. Instead he was slowly arranging the information in his head, and as well as his experience during the travel inside the mysterious blue-hole.
"A. I. Chip..."
[Beep! Restarting the host assistance program! Reincarnation Protocol #002 established! The detected assessnt is failed reincarnation and a successful transmigration. Checking host soul and body for rejection and longevity... Beep! Host truesoul has experienced severe stress but has no lasting injuries! The soul signature is normal, no damage data recorded. Beep!

Ready to be retrieved by the host. Beep! A new set of mory fragnts detected, waiting for the host to set action.]
A continuous string of 3-D blue holograms flashed through Leylin's eyes, he powerlessly laid collapsed on the ice-cold rock ground, and carefully read the data.
'Transmigration into a body?' Just then, Leylin noticed this body, his new body which was that of the other person who was about 17-18 years old.
"As I thought, sothing went wrong during the spell. The Astral Sentient Reincarnation spell should have ideally reborn as a child after being thoroughly scanned by the World Will, but I am a teenager. Is there no World Will? or is it muddled like Purgatory or perhaps it's the work of the strange blue hole?" Leylin muttered.
'That works in my favour, that ans I didn't have to use the Trump card saved by the main body.' Leylin muttered a bit relived about the lastest developnt.
"An adult body huh? It's not a bad deal but I have to make sure there are no lasting troubles. The body quality is fairly low but that's only physical quantification. The aptitude of magic has to be tested personally by and I can only do that when I start practicing magic since only experintal data can give an accurate estimation.' Leylin pondered while closing his eyes.
According to the rough estimation by A. I. Chip this body has a D-grade level, that falls under the Astral Race derived body ranking system, which is a distinctive characterization used to denote many physical, magical and potential paraters, but as a Magus Leylin is mostly concerned about Magus talent.
'A D-grade body would have a third to fourth grade aptitude... Well it doesn't really matter, once I can tab into the real ability of my powers I can elevate the quality of the body like I did with the main body once. For now... ' Leylin thought to himself once again, while pushing his body to sit upright on the cold stone, thinking out aloud in his mind: "A.I. Chip! Scan the entirety of the body's mory and arrange it!"
[Beep! Task Established! Starting arrangent!]
Now, as Leylin gave the command, mories of a stranger's entire life, from birth to him choosing a scholarly lifestyle and going on this journey, were all displayed in front of Leylin's eyes with the A.I. Chip's assistance.
This was the mory of another person...
That of a strange boy who was 17 years old. He was attracted to antiques and was obsessed with all kinds of historical remains; because of an ancient map, he strived for half a year and eventually got here with his guards.
But along with that, there was also another set of mories.
A 27 years old man from Earth, who was an insane fanatic of extre sports. His mother died early, while his father died of cancer in the pri of his life. But, he had saved a fortune working his whole life. This left him with such a large amount of wealth which he could never use in a lifeti. He died while participating in an extre sport, sohow ended up in this world and had his soul devoured by Leylin.
A large mass of mory from two individuals was just too confusing, and was also full of useless information.
But with the help of the A.I. Chip, all information was arranged and sorted accordingly while removing useless data.
[Data sorting has been completed!] The A.I. Chip notification sounded out.
"Create a new file, nad 'Berkan Lenoir', and save it!" Leylin gave a new order but inside his mind a strong sense of familiarity and suspicion arised.
'Sothing is odd.' Leylin thought and commanded, "A.I. Chip scan my entire body, and display my body's stats!"
After a re mont, the A.I. Chip's chanical voice replied back.
[Beep! Scan complete!] [ Berkan Lenoir (Leylin Farlier). Strength: 0.6, Agility: 0.6, Vitality: 0.9, Status: Weakened due to hunger and thirst.]
A 3D hologram appeared before Leylin's eyes. It displayed Leylin's own body and showed stats on the side.
'The body condition is passable, the vitality is equal to an adult man which isn't that surprising considering his status as young master of a Martial family.' Leylin glanced at his new body state and imdiately started to review the information gathered by the A. I. Chip to satiate his suspicion.
According to the mories of the guy nad Berkan Lenoir mory, this place was called Grace Mainland, where there was no science or technology. There were endless waging wars and warriors raging everywhere!
People with these various abilities would all beco warriors, and their abilities were referred to as Martial Spirits.
But not all are blessed with it, ordinary people could train hard to beco a warrior, but there was no way to obtain a Martial Spirit through training. Martial Spirits were so powerful that they could benefit a warrior's training, increasing their combat potential significantly and granting them their own special abilities...
The "Martial Spirit" can be inherited through blood, if compared Magus World it has a sticking similarity with bloodline of Warlocks.
Leylin stood up with a sharp focused gaze and studied these fragnted mories in order.
The original owner of this body ca from the Lenoir Family. They possessed the Petrification Martial Spirit which could make the body as hard as a rock in battle, preventing damage to the body.
Unfortunately, Berkan didn't inherit the Petrification Martial Spirit.
He also showed no interest in martial arts, and never learned anything about them either. All he had been devoted to was the exploration of historical remains.
Thanks to that ancient map, he had crawled through nurous heavy bushes and suffered a lot to arrive at this ancient cave and eventually die here.
"How? This can't be a re coincidence! The reincarnation to Warlock of the Magus World, the unknown sentient force ability, now this? what hands is the fate dealing ? This isn't normal, this slls like a big conspiracy. To be transmigrated into God Of Slaughter!?" Leylin already had an inkling of doubt cinched into his mind when he received two sets of mories but going through the mories he understood where his sense of familiarity and uncertainty ca from.
"A conspiracy so big that not even my true law body could detect anything? If soone actually interfered with my Astral Reincarnation Spell to specifically telegraph here, without alerting my main body, what kind of being is that? Rank 8 .... or maybe?" Leylin couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis but he knew he currently didn't have the facility to act against the course of motion, he could only play the ga and find ways to erge of top ultimately.
As of now, Leylin refuse to believe that this is just a re coincidence but if that's the case then soone is behind this anomaly. Soone whom even the main body couldn't detect and if so then how can a re soul do anything about it now.
'I can't do anything now, it doesn't an i can't do anything later as well. I raised myself from nothing to an exalted law being rank, and I can do better.'
Leylin knew ge needed to win not just to regain control but to also find answers to questions he has long formulated.
"A.I.Chip recheck the body and soul for any problems."
[Beep! Task established! Scan completed! All signs are normal!]
'A. I. Chip assimilate the Astral reincarnation spell records and analyze it thoroughly for any foreign force interfere. I authorize to use sentient force if required but don't go over 5%'
[Beep! Task established... ]
'It will take so ti to analyze it for now I should focus on this body. Honestly speaking this body has little talent for Martial, the reason Berkan could breakthrough realms so easily was because of the supernatural abilities granted by his golden finger.'
'When I first started my Magus journey, I greatly focused on knights path and my physical stats but unfortunately as I progressed through higher ranks, the advantage it could give diminished not to ntion the lack of research in that field hampered my future directions, but maybe in this world of Martial arts I can completely walk on that path along with my Magi journey.' Leylin pondered and started to walk forward.
"Wu wu wu.... hu hu hu.... "
Leylin was contemplating his future as suddenly, a devil-like cry ca from deep within the cave.
Frowning, Leylin looked around only to find a blood pool in the direction the voice ca from.
'The golden finger.... It was such a malicious power, ungraceful and hideous, very suitable for a brute like Berkan. But of course no power is good or bad, it just depends on the user, it's quite similar to my sentient force. Devouring ability with sentient force, it will be quite a combination.' Leylin stared at the blood pool with a contemplating gaze.
The blood pool, about 10 square ters in size, was located in the middle of the cave, filled with a red fluid which looked just like blood.
Leylin held a calm expression. The howls had a magical power to evoke the desire to kill within oneself, and made one want to kill anyone around them!
But it had no effect against Leylin. Although his ears were itching but the howls from the blood pool couldn't tornt him.
"A.I.Chip scan the blood pool."
[Beep! Task Established! Begin Scan!] [Discovered unknown components. Powers similar to laws detected. Access to sentient force reservoirs unauthorized. Unable to analyse!]
'!?' Leylin had a rare surprised expression flashed across his face, he never imagined that he would encounter sothing similar to law energy so early in his journey.
'What shitty luck..' Leylin massaged his temples and slowly moved forward.
Although Leylin knew that this blood pool was pivotal for Berkan growth and talent but he didn't knew much about the God Of Slaughter plot, he never fully read it. So the revelation of a law being so early was a bit of a surprise to him.
'The gas of law being are hard to decipher. Should I use the Primordial chaos law and obliterate all the remnants? Or should I just ignore the blood pool?' Leylin touched his chin and pondered.
When the main body separated its truesoul, he also coagulated a part of his Primordial Chaos law and stored it inside each truesoul. Due to the physical limitations of Leylin's current body it cannot use the majestic abilities of law power but fortunately the main body found a way to burn the law and utilize it's power at critical events during reincarnation spell.
Since Leylin has made such a big investnt he would obviously store so defensive asure. Originally the purpose of major portion of Primordial Chaos law was to contend against the World Will but due to his strange transmigration, Leylin didn't need to use that power.
Now without any exhaustion Primordial chaos law is still completely reserved.
Although it's usage is limited to a set number of tis but it's power is undeniable.
And more amazingly it can replenish itself, but for that either the truesoul clone has to touch upon the realm of laws or wait a very extended period of ti for its revitalization.
Now being revealed to the fact that the blood pool had the influence of a law being, Leylin has to decide whether he uses his precious law power to extinguish the influence of this law being or just move forward in his journey.
"But if there is a consciousness link between the rouge law power and the source, it might alert the law being. Although I can use Primordial Chaos Law to hide my tracks but that would significantly increase the expenditure. I can't frugally use law power.. there is too much uncertainty.'
"To know if it's worth the risk, I need to have an idea of how much important the blood pool was for Berkan. From what I know, he gained a type of devouring power sucking profound qi from dead people, he gained a few martial skills, and had a mysterious ring.... It's very easy for any law being to control soone with either of these, the only way to maintain freedom from being used like a chess piece is to wish the law being is dead or unconscious."
"Ironically isn't the situation exactly similar to what I am facing in Magus World. Mysterious transmigration, enviable power and unanswered questions.. It seems I have been thrown to step one once again... " Leylin looked at the heap of bones situated beside the blood pool; so milky white bones also floated in the center of the pool. This small blood pool was like a sea of blood from hell, which had devoured an uncountable number of lives.
"Sa , sa questions, different World and a different body... "
