Mana: Before The Rise 16 A System Named Elfin

Rachel heard the voice but before she could say anything the white s.p.a.ce devoice of anything started to s.h.i.+ft.

She appeared to be in a dome-shaped building, the walls looked like bookcases and in the center was a fountain with a glowing orb at its center.

"What is going on?"

[h.e.l.lo] Said a joyful voice that sounded awfully like…..

[My name is Elfin, I am the system currently attached to you.] S

"Ahhh, h.e.l.lo"

[I apologies for not been available after all this time, your soul is in a bit of a mess.]

"A mess?"

[To Put it simply you're like a shattered mirror, and those pieces of yourself where reborn.]

'Can You explain more"

[Certainly, For whatever reason your original self was shattered into pieces, I myself was also included which is why I am in such a State of disrepair. Well anyway your shattered pieces went into other dimensions and lived in those worlds.]

Miss Ise for example was a shattered piece and with the two of you becoming one you have become a bigger piece.

"Is Joey and Alicia one as well"

[Yep]

"So I am shattered, but…." She said scratching her head

[I attached myself to any piece of the original I could before it happened. As for everything else like why it happened or who you where before. I don't know, As I am currently working on repairing a lot and salvaging what I cant.]

"I see" Rachel looked down but then back up.

[The world you where, you cannot go back to it] Elfin said as is it knew what Rachel wanted to ask.

"Why?"

[That World was on the verge of collapse before we even got there.]

"Collapse?"

[The best way to explain is, it was to weak to continue to exist. A world is like a Lightbulb, gentle and fragile, it doesn't work without power. Therefore, we cannot return.]

"What-"

[Their souls where sent to other worlds, they have already be reborn as we speak] Elfin said cutting her off.

"So, what happens now."

[We collect the pieces of your shattered soul]

"Why?"

[The Creator 'G.o.d' is dying and so before so sent out 'Blessings' to other mortals. Collecting these 'Blessing' brings you closer. But, in our case it would be for survival, the other candidates will not leave you alone. And their Methods are nasty.]

"…."

[I have been redirecting our travels to avoid them, but, nothing it ever certain. If lucky their wont be any problems

Now on to other things. This s.p.a.ce is our safe zone between worlds

Behind you is the hearts library, it looks empty now, but its our archive on each world we go to. But pretty much that and the 'Ability Control Panel' is all we can do now.

"The Ability Controls Panel?"

[Touch the fountain Water]

Ding! A sound went as soon as she touched the water. Little water particles began to rise as and quickly formed an aqua blue screen.

"This is?" Rachel started at the screen

{Abilities}

{Evolve}

{Forge}

{Raffle}

"What does it do?"

['Click' on Abilities]

Rachel then 'click' it and what popped up was another screen to the side of the other.

{Impending Doom}

{Predication}

{Shadow-Weaving}

"So these are my abilities" Rachel said out loud in a soft voice.

Impending Doom is sense of near death or death is coming for oneself or another person.

Predication, to be able to see events in the future.

Shadow-Weaving, the ability to use the shadow and bend them to your will.

After finis.h.i.+ng reading each of the ability's descriptions Rachel clicked the back b.u.t.ton as she started to figure out how this works. Thinking back all those time 'Impending Doom' was probably the cause.

{Abilities}

{Evolve}

{Forge}

{Raffle}

{Equip}

This Time she clicked the {Evolve} one

{Shadow-Weaving}

Was the only the only thing there. Rachel frowned.

[Only Abilities that can be evolved will appear] Elfin explained.

Nodding she clicked it, but nothing happened for a while. "Elfin, why can't I evolve it."

[You'll need a World core to Evolve abilities]

"A World Core"

[A World Core is the core of the world. IT runs the world]

After a moment Rachel was quiet "So the World Core is the part of the lightbulb that helps it light" Rachel said using the systems reference.

[Yes]

".....Elfin" Rachel voice trembled "Would I have to"

[Sacrifice other worlds, Yes]

"But, why….?"

[The other candidates also do the same, Rachel is may seem coldhearted but that is how things work. You can't gain something without a little sacrifice.

But, don't worry you do not have to do. There are other options]

Rachel nodded her head. And hit the back b.u.t.ton, as she moved on to the next one {Forge}.

{Merge}

[For Forge, the only thing you can do is merge abilities]

Rachel nodded her head as she clicked the b.u.t.ton.

{Foresight}

Merge Impending Doom and Predication to create Foresight. Rachel made no hesitation as she clicked the merge b.u.t.ton.

{Merge Initiating}

Said a little loading screen.

{Merge Complete}

{[Foresight] ability added}

Rachel then clicked the back b.u.t.ton and went to Abilities.

{Foresight}

{Shadow-Weaving}

Foresight- the ability to predict or the action of predicting what will happen or be needed in the future.

After reading and thinking for awhile she moved on to {Raffle}

{ }{ }{ }

{Raffle Chances:1} {Start}{Stop}

[Raffle is as is, a raffle for abilities from other places, people, and worlds. The abilities aren't always true to the original and will have differences.

You can only get more Chances by World Cores or Achieve a threshold of 10% of soul Fragmentation.]

Elfin explained.

"So I can gain a Random ability"

[Yes]

Rachel nervously touched the b.u.t.ton and heard the ring that Raffles do.

{Perfect Observation} { Nanami Yasuri } { Katanagatari }

[Raffle works as follows, Ability-Person-World, Look it up in abilitys]

{[Perfect Observation] ability added}

Rachel did as so.

Perfect Observation- grants Keen Sense, Fast reflexes, and the ability to learn nearly anything just by seeing it.

"Elfin, what does {Equip} do?"

[They are Abilities, that you'll be able to use in the worlds you go to. Currently, you can only use two.]

"I see…..What world are am I going to next?"
