Code Geass: A Soldiers Retribution 2 Soul Devouring Geass

"C.S what is a Gea.s.s? Why does my right eye sting so much? Why can't I see the world around me that well, WHAT IS GOING ON" Theo's entire body tensed up as fell to the floor, leaving him unable to move at all, all he could feel was the wind blowing against his body and the cold breeze that came with it. C..S finally responded with"Gea.s.s is a supernatural ability which certain people can bestow upon others, in our case I gave you the ability from the lottery system. Gea.s.s manifests itself differently in each individual, possibly related to their inner desires and personality. The power of Gea.s.s increases with use and should the user lack the willpower, they may be consumed by it. The issue you are having right now is you didn't gain the ability to use a Gea.s.s in a natural contract so your body is rejecting the power strongly, eventually your body and the Gea.s.s will find a balance, until then the pain you are feeling will only increase, prepare for the worst." Theo began to laugh gently as the pain was getting a lot worse than he thought possible, his laughter travelled softly with the wind into the cold night.

Theo awoke to the sounds of birds chirping a subtle song and the rays of the sun on his face, he began to panic as his senses came back to him. He looked scanned the room with his left eye as he was still unable to use his right one, at this moment in time he couldn't even open it. The room around him was extremely empty, only a table and a single chair were in it other than the bed he was occupying. The walls had a dark grey paint on them that was peeling off, the floor had a worn red carpet on it and the door the in room was on its last hinges. Theo thought that wherever he is, was struggling financially or he was trapped in some sort of prison, he heard voices approaching his door and pretended to still be asleep in order to listen into the conversation. Two men and a little girl entered the room, the men wore looks of suspicion as they glanced at Theo's 'sleeping' body while the girl had a look of fear, the stories of the Britannian's military brutality had spread even to remote villages like this one.

One of the men said to the other "It maybe best if we kill him off before he wakes, he may have comrades looking for him, if they find him here in this state they may wipe out the entire village." The other man agreed with his suggestion and one of them moved towards the body of Theo with a knife in hand and went to stab at him, on reflex Theo just about rolled out of the way of the knife, the blade glanced past his arm as he landed on the floor in front of the two men. Startled, the two men walked backwards as Theo's right eye opened suddenly opened and the world froze around him. A system notification rang in his head, the notification surprised Theo as he was not aware that this type of quest even existed.

*Hidden quest completed: Obtain your first Gea.s.s. Reward: +2 to all stats, 50 exp, Shop function unlocked, Cla.s.s: Gea.s.s user unlocked and you gain 50GC *

"C.S can you explain about my Gea.s.s and why the world has frozen, also what is the Gea.s.s user cla.s.s?" C.S responded "Your Gea.s.s is called the Soul Devouring Gea.s.s, it allows the user to drain the life force from selected targets within a certain radius adding it your own life force, restoring your health as well as accessing a portion of their memories and experiences. I have no idea why the world is frozen, the only logical reason I can think of is that another Gea.s.s user has used their Gea.s.s to freeze time. The Gea.s.s user cla.s.s gives you more control over your Gea.s.s and allows you to control more than one Gea.s.s in your body. I recommend that you upgrade this cla.s.s consistently to reduce the chance of your Gea.s.s consuming you. You can use your GC that you got to by new skills and abilities in the unlocked shop section however their prices are pretty big so it is recommended you work for the abilities rather than buy them." Theo tried to work it over in his head and asked C.S to display his status so he could apply his newly gained exp.

Time resumed and Theo turned to the little girl and said" Leave this building now, what you will witness if you stay will scar you for life, these men attacked me and must pay with their lives." The two men began to laugh and said" He is right, what we are going to do to him is too graphic for you to see, go and get the others so we can bury him when we are done." The girl left the building and the two looked at Theo and saw him smiling like a Tiger looking at his prey, in his right eye a blue symbol shaped like a bird flying flew at the two men and entered their eyes. As soon as the symbol made contact with them their eyes became filled with the symbol and their bodies began to shake at a rapid pace and slowly began to wither, it looked as if they were ageing from thirty years old to one hundred years in a matter of seconds. Their muscles began to evaporate, their hair fell out onto the floor, their teeth fell from their gums and littered the floor. A pure white orb of energy was pulled out of their bodies and it floated into Theo's body. He felt his body become slightly stronger as well as the memories of the two men flooding into his brain, his mind began to process the new information, he was in a small Korean village in a mountain range not far from the sea. The next mission that came in surprised him drastically, he never expected that this is what the system wanted him to do next.

*Main mission issued: Take over the Village, establish the beginnings of your empire here. Rewards: Memory fragment, Random empire ability and 100 exp. Punishment for failure: Host and villages immediate death.*

Theo smiled at the mission rewards and thought 'I may start to remember who I am as well as further develop my abilities.' "C.S show me what I gained from using my Gea.s.s on those two men, also add any gained experience to the special forces cla.s.s" C.S responded "As you wish".

Theo smiled and went to leave the building he was in, he wanted to make amends for whatever crimes he committed in his previous life however he still had principles he followed. He would only take life if his life or his followers life was in danger unless mercy endangered his people in any way. He would not rule to harshly or to kindly, he would put his nations interests before his own and he would unite the world under his banner. He vowed to do whatever it would take to achieve his goals as long as it followed these principles. He walked up to the gathered villagers and said "I will be taking over the leaders.h.i.+p of this village and I will make your lives better, anyone who resists will end up like the two men who tried to attack me earlier. I suggest someone goes and buries whats left of their bodies while someone informs me of what is currently happening in the world."

Theo smiled and walked towards an old woman who had offered to tell him about world events, to his surprise he learn't about the battle over j.a.pan and the legend of Zero and the black knights, the Britannian empire he knew was long gone and was no longer a world power. In its place was a group of nations that vowed to keep world peace, that was on the surface doing well however if you looked deeper Independence movements and rebellions where creeping up a lot more since the j.a.panese revolution. Countries like Korea where slowly being ripped apart by factions vying for control over the nation as well as trying to keep their respective overlords happy. Theo vowed to keep these people safe and happy as well as slowly expand his reach over as much land as possible.
