From Rebirth To Perfection

Chapter 5 - Awakening Shikai (1)

After I cut off Aizen from watching me, I stayed in the air for 1 minute thinking of consequences of my actions.

"I may have forwarded or slowed Aizen's plans with this event. I need to be careful from now on. Although nothing in this city can harm me except Urahara and Yoruichi, I still need to train and gain Levels."

As I said that, in my head I thought of status showing up.

[Name : Akhil]

[Race : Soul]

[Level : 13]

[World : Earth (Bleach) ]

[Strength : 129]

[Speed : 141]

[Dexterity : 111]

[Intelligence : 201]

Passive Abilities : [Left Eye of Chaos] , [Spiritual Sensing] , [Zanjutsu]

Active Abilities : [Reiatsu Manipulation] , [Bakudo/Hado Spells (#1-#50)] , [Shunpo]

"My speed of leveling up is slowing down... I need to find stronger opponents soon..."

"But before that, I should atleast achieve Shikai, otherwise I can be dead in 5 seconds and not even know it..."

As I thought of that, I started to fly towards my new base, which was some abandoned building upon one hill.

As I arrived, I sat down in a usual position and placed my Zanpakuto on my l.a.p and concetrated on entering the inner world.

-----------------------------------------

As usual, I have arribed on the same white landscape with chaotic atmosphere of jumbled colors...

"Oh, you came again, are bored now, huh?"

"Do not play with me, you know why I came here."

"Hmph, always ruining the fun. In any case, you want to know my name and incarnation and all of that, right?"

"I would be happy if you could just tell me, but I know it is pointless to ask."

"See, you're smart. You know how to properly analyse any situation you are faced against. Well, any normal situation. Let's see you against the forces of chaos itself."

As he said that, the landscape began to change. Many White walls started to rise from the ground and after 5 seconds they together formed a structure similar to a labyrinth.

"You can probably guess what I want you to do, but I will expain everything. In any case, there will be 3 challenges you need to complete successfully for me to tell you my name."

"I will give you a warning, although you may not need it. Do, not, think. Just walk. That is all."

"I will appear again when you complete the labyrinth. See you."

As he said that, he dissapeared completely.

"Well, considering his warning, if I think of bad things, they will appear... But I can surely use that mechanic of chaos to my advantage."

"In any case, let's get going."

As I said that, I walk off towards the labyrinth. After unknown amount of time, I notice that this labyrinth...

"It repeats, it wants me to think that I walk in circles..."

"But using Chaos against me in this simple way is easy to counter with my usage of chaos easily."

As I said that, I extend my arm will for an opening in a wall to appear in front of me. Although the command was successfull, instead of a simple hole, a door appeared.

As I open it, it reveals a completely new section of the labyrinth with bunch of monsters that I wouldn't even imagine existed.

As I observe them, centipede like monster appears to crawl towards me. As I noticed that, I shunpo-ed behind that monster and sliced it in half with my Zanpakuto.

[You killed Chaos-Pede. You gain 74 EXP and 23 coins.]

As I wonder how the hell does a mere centipede give more EXP than a hollow, a voice speaks to me in my head.

"Wow, you already completed the first challenge of this labyrinth. Yeah, I forgot to mention, all 3 challenges will be in this labyrinth. Now you have only 2 remaining."

"As you can guess, this section of the labyrinth has numerous amount of monsters that were generated from Chaos itself. Or to be more exact, given life to by Chaos. Anyway, your first challenge was to see how long would it take for you to realise you were walking in circles and there was no way to new sectioned generated normally, and how long until you realise dyou need to use Chaos to generate new path. I thought it would take you just a little bit longer to realise the second part, but yeah. In any case, this second challenge should take more time than the 1st. Anyway, good luck."

And then he suddenly cut off.

In nay case, from what I can tell, these challenges are too easy, so I can't help but imagine that there is some hidden clue to all of this.

Well, if there are any, I will find them soon enough. I should probably get going on a killing spree.

Ichigo's POV

As I open my eyes, I find myself staring at the familiar white walls of my room. I see that my wounda have been patched up, I see Rukia sleeping besides my bed, I see that my window is open...

Wait...

"HEY RUKIA, YOU OK?"

Due to my shout, she jolts up and wakes up. As she looks at me, she has a visible smile on her face.

"Ichigo, glad you have woken up."

"How long was I out?"

"...That is of no matter right now. Tell me are yo-"

"I am okay, Rukia, but tell me, how long was I out?"

"... Almost a whole day. That man got both of us, especially you. Regarding that, what happened when I was knocked out?"

"That guy... he called himself Akhil... he asked me some weird questions... about would I rather sacrifice you or my family..."

"...Which did you choose?"

"...I have chosen neither of those two, and started to run with my sword towards him. Then he suddenly dissapeared and appeared behind me and stabbed his sword through me..."

"... I see..." 'He used Shunpo, and he has his own Zanpakuto, so he surely is a shinigami, but why did he wear a mask? And what's up with those clothes? I have never seen anyone in Soul Society wear any clothes like that..."

"Then he started to talk about giving me a hint and how I should be careful in the future... He also said..."

"Said wha-"

"That I am a pawn in someone's game, or something similar..."

"... I must report this to Soul Society immediately... Ichigo I will not return until tonight. This guy is dangerous, and who knows when he will appear again. We must be careful from now on. That is why I will train you..."

"Train me?"

"Train you in ways of a Shinigami. You need to defend yourself when that guy appears again. And I am in no shape for self-defence, so that is why I'll train you.

"...Alright, when do we start?"

"Tommorow. Sooner, the better."

-----------------------------------------

[You killed 2x Dragons of Chaos. You gain 632 EXP and 99 Coins]

"Ah... Ah... Ah..."

2 Days. 2 whole days was I in this f.u.c.k.i.n.g monster den. There is no end to these, and as I kill more monsters, more stronger ones appear.

And finally, I think this is the end, here layed 2 Dragons of Chaos, gigantic beings that were the size of 10 story building. Even with my usage kf Chaos, I have barely managed to survive tbis hellhole.

"Well well well... Can't say anything but congratulations. You have excedeed my excpectations... I thought honestly that you would need 5 days to finish this, but color me impressed, you completed it. In any case, you are ready for the 3rd challenge."

As he said that, the landscape started to change. Now there was no Labyrinth, but just walls enclosing me in 1km area.

"Now let me explain the 3rd challenge..."
