Limitless The Strongest Revenant

[Limitless ability restructure commencing… Error…Restructure Road map not available.

As Exa's voice entered my ears, I felt the souls in my body begin to stir. Was it because unlike before I was an Artificial Descendant now? The last time I did this it was during my Seeker war against Savior.

It was only during times like this that I remember just how many {Fates} I had in me. Once the biggest reasons for {Limitless} was that I had too many. But while I used to believe that it was something that just happened, I now know that wasn't the case.

[Combined total 43 {fates}… Analyzing {Programs} created…22… integrating {Programs} into {Kismet}…Error…{Programs} [Autoload] and [Autosave] incompatible to {Kismet}…Reconstructing…New {Program} [AutoRewind] created…]

While everyone else might be stronger, faster and smarter than me. There was one thing they could never lose in. My ability to create {Kismet} and {Programs}. It was what allowed me to continue fighting all this time. Whenever I felt lost, my {Fates} would show me the way.

[Origin status…Origin upgrade possible… Soul saturation optimization at 60%… Limitless ability restructure road map completed. Limitless ability restructure commencing… {Kismet} rebuilding…]

At Exa's words I felt the souls in my body suddenly shift. It was as if my insides were a puzzle, and someone began pulling out parts at random. I couldn't understand it but my soul felt ghost limb as my {Kismet} were removed.

But as she said something about Origins, this must be similar to those with Zenith constitutions experience. If I had to experience this in order to get stronger, I would welcome this shit any time of the day!

[Soul saturation rate augmentation beginning…prepare for soul injection.]

Before I could prepare myself, I suddenly felt scorching hot magma enter my veins. It slowly made its ways through burning my insides as it did. I see. This burning sensation was souls mixing into my body.

As I have been rebuilding {Kismet} since the start, the parts of my soul were melted back down and reintroduced like a transfusion. My chest felt heavy as if something was sitting on my lungs stopping me from breathing.

[Lifeline in danger, invoking {Replace}.]

The nerves on my entire skin began to burn. Like I was on fire my insides twisted and contorted in pain. Something popped in my eyes, and I could no longer see. The same thing reverberated inside my skull, and I went deaf.

However, something happened that was different from before. A frigid cold began swirling inside me. My insides which were previously on fire, suddenly became cooled and then turned like ice. I lost all feelings on my limbs as they went numb.

[Lifeline in danger, invoking {Replace}.]

Yet a split second later the chill vanished, and the fire returned with a vengeance. The cold from earlier made the heat much more pronounced. My limbs which were numb now began to feel weak as if all the water in them evaporated.

"GGGGAHHHHHHHH!!!"

My brain went foggy in the darkness. It hurt so much I wanted to die. But knowing that this was a necessary pain I grit my teeth and endured. This pain would be how I would protect my family. By dying again and again I would be able to grow strong enough.

[Lifeline in danger, invoking {Replace}.]

I gritted my teeth; I felt my teeth shatter. My fingers began to dig into my hands as I clenched my fists. My limbs heavy like lead began to feel sluggish as if they no longer belonged to my body.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This…This is… not enough to kill me! Try harder!"

As if answering my call, every organ in my body reverberated with pain. It was as if you were covered in wounds, and you were doused in ethanol. Only to be set on fire later. The war of hot and cold continued to terrorize my insides like a chaotic dance.

"AAARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Indescribable was the torment I experienced. Despite forcing myself to resist, my body screamed in agony. It was like I drank acid, and I felt my insides slowly dissolve. Soon, I began to curse this entire ordeal.

Funnily enough unlike last time, I didn't blank out. My mind seemed far stronger than before and neither went into shock nor caused me to faint. It allowed my mind to process each sensation in full.

"FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!"

Again and again, I wanted to give up, but each time I remember the faces of my women. Their cries, their tears and their smiles. I remembered the sight of them injured, maimed and broken. I forced myself to recall their pitiful corpses as they died in my dreams. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

"GET A FUCKING GRIP LIMITLESS! Remember. Remember why you chose to do this!"

There were Seven men who I could not defeat. Against the Revenants, I was powerless. They could rape, torture and murder the girls in front of me and wouldn't be able to do anything besides watch. Imaging the scene made my insides tremble.

Like an anesthetic my bitterness at my weakness began to drive out the pain. Suddenly I felt my limbs once more. Desperate, I opened my mouth, placed my arm into it and bite with all my power.

"MPFGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

Sinking my teeth a new kind of pain began to fight the old one. Like I was in a dream the agony from earlier rescinded. In the spots I bleed, there was comfort. I quickly felt around and tore pieces of the floor and began to cut myself with them.

I repeated this process of physical and psychological pain. The sensation drove me insane, multiple times. But each time it did I would hear the words.

[Lifeline in danger, invoking {Replace}.]

Regaining my clarity, my body would health to full and took over carried me forward. It was as I was sacrificing bits of my lives to progress. I didn't mind the pain. After what seemed like days, I grew accustomed to it.

My concern was if I had enough {Replace} charges. And just like that the tempering continued. After some time, I lost the strength and just fell to the ground. I tried to relax on the floor a I weathered the experience. Until somewhere along the line, I felt no more.

[My lord…]

'…'

[My lord…Please open your eyes, the restructuring has completed. You are safe now.]

'Fuck Exa. That hurt a lot worse than the last one.'

[That is only to be expected my lord. As your Origin grows stronger, the breaking point of your body increases proportionally. You mind which once protected you now is able to retain its clarify as you are tortured by the process.]

'I know. And it fucking hurts…'

[I have no excuses my lord. It is impossible to change you make up remaking your body and soul. You would find the results worthwhile though. Because you allow me to enhance your body for you, your improvements dwarfs those of regular Reapers.]

"Thanks, Exa. I'm glad that beating was worth something."

[Indeed. Call up your status screen. I am sure you will be most pleased.]

I groggily opened my eyes and tried to focus my vision. Only to find the bath in ruins. The tiles were ripped apart and the entire area was scorched black. The heavy smell of iron filled the soul cage. When I looked up the top part of the cage was blood red.

Brown mud like earth covered the entire soul cage. If all this was blood that dried, the amount needed would have been over 100 people. Finding the aftermath interesting I asked Exa out of curiosity.

"Exa, how many times did you use {Replace}?"

[108 times, my lord. You technically died over a hundred times for this restructuring to complete.]

"Well fuck…show me my status."
