Soul Karmas

"Snow its time to wake up!"

Flake immediately echoed out loudly in Snow mind causing him to woke up as his amber eyes snapping open, wide alert, before glancing around the surrounding area a second later.

He was currently laying on a rather simple but soft bed in an unfamiliar room, with a large and wide window that is currently open slightly just enough to let the sunlight inside the room, while his nose smelled the lingering medicines in the air.

Snow eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly because base by his observation alone, Snow was definitely has been place inside Li Chen room while using his bed at the same time.

He wonder what happen that Li Chen was allowing him to use his personal bedroom.

Snow is entirely sure that there would be an extra room for him to use rather than staying to where his territory was, specially when it was currently filled with the smell of medicine.

Was it because Li Chen was being kind?

Snow let out a chuckle, there was no way that Snow would believe that, it was not enough reason for a person like Li Chen who tend to be defensive and secretive to let others get close toward themselves, specially if it was someone they has just met.

Even if it was because Li Chen was saving him, Snow was entirely sure that there should be more other room to better stay at, than using Li Chen personal bedroom.

People like Li Chen has already ingrained deep in their body and soul that their instinct should have been against other rather getting close toward what was theirs, at least not until they got use to them or when they have something they wanted or was planning about something.

So, the question now was, does Li Chen want something toward him?

And if so, What was it that Li Chen wanted that he was doing all of this?

"It's been 4 hours since Snow has lost consciousness. Li Chen is currently out looking for more important herbs in the mountain since Snow was still severely injured but don't worry Snow! You are now currently out of danger."

Flakes happily shake before a prompt appear on Snow mind, stopping him from thinking more deeply about Li Chen certain actions.

Snow will surely know all about it later on, there was no need to trouble himself since as long as Li Chen doesn't goes against his mission and become a threat then Snow will basically can be open minded with whatever Li Chen was planning.

Mission Completion! Mission Completion!

- 20 %

- 20 %

40 % out of 100% of complete successful!

Snow smiled, amber eyes still calm looking, in the memory that he has inherited, Snow fully know well how very special and important the original owner of his current body was.

No matter what, he has to survive, Xen was not allowed to die.

Xen death was the catalyst of everything getting out of order and now that he has survive the ordeal where the original Xen has died, all things is currently walking down the right path and order that the World has wanted to happen.

In this mission world, Snow has to follow important objective, at least Snow doesn't need to go against the World Rule for his mission, making it much more easier to handle his current task.

Besides, Snow doesn't have to worry about anything even if he failed the other important mission later on, the most important one was that 40% Completion of Mission that Flake has inform him.

The Karma Core has accepted his task, that was what matter the most because the Karma Core was the main existence that he was working at, not with any World Rule.

And that 40% was already in the minimum requirement of completion of successful of the task, specially when Snow was able to complete one of the soul tasks when the original owner was dying.

At least Snow has fulfilled the Quest given by the Special World Rule Mission along with the second Mission Task of the Original soul after Completing the First task that he was given.

After all Snow was prompted twice with a Mission Complete, 20% Completion came into the World Rule Mission while the other prompt was a 20% Mission Complete as one of the original soul tasks.

It was the thought of the Original soul, about Xen regret of wanting to survive on that fateful day when he died.

That was one of Xen regret, and yes, most of the Task that a Granter was given to fulfill was the strong emotions, regret or wish they have during their time of death.

And the Karma Core will choose among those lists of wishes and regrets base on the acc.u.mulation of their Karma's.

Basically, this time Mission that was given to Snow was a Danger lurking with Blessing type, if Snow has fail the 1st task then he doesn't have any more chance to stay in this world to be a Granter and he will also completely fail his First Mission World ever.

It will be quite shameful thing to happen, but Snow will feel more regrettable about it.

This world was quite interesting!

If Snow could, he want to stay a little bit longer.

A moment later, Snow lip curve up with great interest, there was basically no stopping him for doing what he wanted at this moment on.

How about the Original Soul reaction base on his certain action or changing his temperament later on?

Snow just turned indifferent about it, as long as the Karma Core has not given him certain limit, regulation and rules to follow during the task then Snow basically doesn't care about the Original Soul feeling about the way he will work and use his body.

Going to get a Bad title? Like it will matter to Snow, he could use Energy to easily remove it, or using it only for one Mission World. It was also quite interesting as it added more to his challenge.

Besides, there was a reason why they will not be living their life anymore after all.

He was a Granter that appeared to fulfill what they wish and regret for, it was a job that he was doing it and it was not free, so letting the clients chooses how he will live his life after that?

Aren't they being self-important?

It was basically an equivalent of exchange, he fulfill their wants in exchange for their Karma Energy and the use of their body.

Although, Snow will prefer to live his new body later on with some of their original temperament while removing what he dislike about, it was the point of experiencing different Life after all.

So right now, he could move and decide uncontrollably without much problem with his actions.

He got more choices on how much he will act in this World.

And right now, Snow will do his best in fulfilling more of the task later on, he wanted to have all the Karma energy that he could get.

Nothing was wrong for wanting to get more of soul karma energy.

Snow suddenly blink, quickly remembering a very important problem just now, it was the reason why he let Flake wake him up early on, it was all about one of the regret and wish of the original Xen.

He move and quickly sat up before a groan of pain let out his small lip since it seemed that he have pulled open some of his rather deep injuries that weren't able to heal completely just now.

Turning indifferent toward his injuries, he quickly stood up, while unconsciously analyzing about how refreshing and comfortable his body felt was despite how he was still slightly injured, it was definitely Li Chen work, after all base on about the original owner of Li Chen current body, he was very talented when it comes to medicines which was the Earth Li Chen inherited.

And added with the fact that the current Li Chen has numerous talents which help him became more skilled.

It was one of the reason why Snow has chosen to meet the young man during the danger in his life, besides Snow doesn't want to spend his Karma energy in Trade Shop when there was a convenient person around.

Besides, As Snow glimpse on the Trade Shop, his lip twitch, it was a Black Shop because the amount of price became more different from what he saw when checking on it from before.

Somehow the amount in some in the Trade Shop, completely changes in price, and from what he could tell and guess about, the reason was because the 'Medicine' was what the original soul currently needed.

That Black Shop was such a scammer, there was no way that Snow will be buying those expensive medicine, he doesn't want to use his Point uselessly, specially when he has someone that could 'give' it to him.

Snow rolled his amber eyes, before quickly scanning over his entire body.

He was currently wearing a simple silk long green robe that greatly highlight his slender body, Snow couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again.

He was kind of figuring out where was this coming from.

Snow couldn't help but hum a little before his lip curving up, well he seemed to really have left a great impression on the young man, before starting to looked around the place for the items that he needed, his eyebrows wrinkling adorably when he was unable to find what he needed to use.

"Snow there is a peach tree currently in bloom at the backyard." Flake helpfully reminded causing Snow amber eyes to light up, "Good Job Flake!" before quickly leaving the house by using the currently open window, leaping out before rushing into the back yard.

Flake twirling happily from the praise he just received before following Snow a few second later, Flake was extremely happy that he completely forgotten to remind Snow that Li Chen seemed to have arrive already.

.

.

Li Chen face darkening when he saw his current empty bed, the beautiful young boy currently missing.

Black eyes narrowing as a dangerous aura suddenly emitted on his tall slender body.

Black tremble with fear as he watched the darkening aura of his Host, before quickly checking out the surrounding area before jumping from joy, "Host Chen, I just scanned the area, the young boy Xen seemed to be staying in the back yard at the moment."

Li Chen immediately disappeared as soon as he heard Black finish his words, rushing up ahead toward the location of the young boy.

A minutes later he stop and stood still, his deep dark eyes staring at the young beautiful boy which was currently facing a piece of blossoming branch of a peach tree.

Eyes not blinking as he watched as the pink flowers of the peach trees fluttering around the slender figure of the young boy as he knelled on the ground, black ink long hair reaching the ground and spreading all over a small thin back along as the green long silk robe on his young body swayed and flutter gently highlighting a white pale skin.

Li Chen throat rolled up and down, suddenly feeling so thirsty, black eyes deepening as certain emotion started stirring up inside him.

Then amber eyes quickly glance toward his direction, causing Li Chen heart to skip thump thump thump as he stand still, seemingly being bound by a spell, specially after he saw a glimpse of the surprise but grateful emotion that quickly flash by on the juvenile amber eyes when he look at him.

The young boy figuring out that it was him that has save his life which has make Li Chen extremely happy and excited.

Snow was surprise about the appearance of the young man, he was very tall with a slender body with ink black hair and black eyes, looking handsome along with the temperament of a very kind gentleman around him.

Completely unlike his real nature, but Snow still felt the dangerous aura around him, no matter how much Li Chen tried to hide it from him, that was something that was already been ingrained deep within him.

He might hide it extremely well but it will not something that he could change, Li Chen will forever be the person who has taken numerous life on his hands.

But Snow doesn't care about it, no matter who or what Li Chen was, as long as he doesn't blocked his way and cause him nothing but trouble and danger, besides it seemed that Li Chen has wanted to give him a good impression.

So Snow showed him a gentle and grateful smile, the man is not a danger toward himself at the moment.

Besides Snow has to treat Li Chen really well as his 'savior', specially when they will be working together for a long time later on.

Unless Li Chen decided to go against him, then everything will change.

So flashing him with a quick smile, Snow ignored him and turn back to what he was currently doing, quickly placing the slender finger on his mouth, white teeth bitting on it without hesitation.

He raise his small hand, fore finger gracefully moving with certain rhythm in the air, flashing of red light appearing and disappearing before a complete mysterious rune quickly appeared in the air.

The mysterious runes revolve before rushing toward the branch of the peach tree before him, as the mysterious rune integrates on it.

Snow was currently using the branch of the peach tree as a medium, as it contain special characteristic that was a great complement in using a certain mystic arts, added to the fact that he also uses his blood as a medium, in order for it to work out.

Soon a bright light flash by, telling Snow that he was successful in connecting toward the other end.

He was currently using a mystic art skill to contact a very important person.

Snow instantly opening his small pink lip, letting out a clear melodious voice filled with urgency along with slight gentle coax as he speak on the other end, "Little Nie... Little Nie... listen well. Don't worry about me... Uncle is alright, I am just injured right now but I am definitely still alive."

Li Chen who was silently listening and watching was greatly surprise about the mystic arts skill that the young boy has shown, it was extremely rare for a person to be talented in both skills.

And the Juvenile was talented with both of it from what he just seen.

This kind of talent, the boy definitely don't have a very simple background.

What should he do, he really want to keep the boy tight and around, but at the same time Li Chen doesn't want to really lock him up.

The boy deserve to be free and show his dazzling figure.

Li Chen really needed to handle all of this with great care, he doesn't want to force the young boy after all.

He still has his own set of moral and bottom line despite what kind of a person he really was, suddenly an idea flash on his mind causing his lip to curve up gently.

He has all the time he needed, specially when he wanted to slowly treasure and experience this new emotions he was currently feeling.

So be it, let try that one, Li Chen is a very patient person.

Before Li Chen eyes darkening deeply as he remember the extremely gentle action of the young boy just now.

If Li Chen didn't know that the other side was just a child and was a relative to this young boy based from what he observed so far, even he doesn't know what he would have done if it was someone 'special'.

The young boy belong to him, Li Chen won't allow anyone to block his way.

He finally found someone that could move his heart.

He is extremely unwilling to let go of it, but he also doesn't really want hurt the young boy... so Li Chen decided to just remove those who goes against him if he has to.

Snow remain ignorant at the currently darkening thought of Li Chen, however, if he knows, Snow will surely just turn indifferent all about it, and will just start planning out about how to appropriately handle or use it for his need.

For those dangerous and darkening thoughts, it was not different from how Snow was on his original life, so he could easily handle and accept it completely without feeling unease.

Beside, Snow has a safe guarantee, Flake are far more stronger than the System that Li Chen currently has, Li Chen wasn't really a threat toward him.

Besides, Li Chen also exist for another reason , it was easier to have him around when handling a certain important matter later on, it was the main reason why Snow was doing all of these actions.

Li Chen just have to be either turn into his allies or enemies, that was all Snow need to know.

Soon a young voice echoed in Snow mind, "Imperial Uncle! Imperial Uncle! How are you been? I was so worried Imperial Uncle! Where are you right now? Are you alright Imperial Uncle?"

Um, yeah, Snow is currently an Imperial Uncle, meaning he belong in a Royal family of the current Rong Dynasty, it was the reason why the original owner death was the Catalyst of the Dynasty breaking apart from the original event that would have happen in the later future, as for why about why Xen was the Catalyst, it all will be explain later on.

Snow was just glad that he chooses to contact the other person this way where he will received the other side words into his mind, unable for other people to hear what was being said.

At the moment, Snow doesn't really like to let the young man standing a distance away from him to know about his current identity yet.

Despite how the man seemed to have been showing a great attachment toward him at the moment, but this man was not truly his True Allies yet since Li Chen is still currently undecided if he wanted get mix with his problem.

It seemed that being free from troublesome and dangerous problem has cause the young man to be against to mix with troublesome matter for now.

The only good thing was that this man was a decisive person once he decided on what to do.

Besides, Snow will not allow the man to refuse to get mix with his problem.

Li Chen was unable to stop himself from getting mix in the supposed another path of his life but this time Snow appeared, there is no chance that he will let Li Chen not get entangle with his problem.

Snow secretly chuckled, finding the situation quite fun, everyone has weakness, even Li Chen has his own.

Even Snow has his own weakness, didn't he still die on his original past life despite how talented he was?

Doesn't Li Chen secretly envy those deep feeling? Wishing and wanting to experience those warmth feeling in his life but somehow unable to?

Snow has decided to let him experience it, he has long choose to do so after knowing Li Chen life experience, making him unable let it go in his entire lifetime.

Although, it seemed that it was quite different emotion from what he planned about, it was supposed to be about being a true 'Friends' and 'Allies', it might turn out to be a problematic trouble later on, if what his current suspicious turn out to be right.

Before mentally shaking his head, Snow will think about it later on, he still has something important to do for now.

"Little Nie, take care of yourself alright? I can't use this art for a long time, so listen well! Don't trust Dong Lou from this moment on." Snow voice was strong but his amber eyes slightly dimming down, long eyelashes fluttering, looking quite pitiful as he tried to act like he was alright with the betrayal of the person he trusted, "Try not to be alone with someone else but remember that the Shadows can be trusted! They will definitely protect you! I'll clean up all those 'Mess' after I come back. Be strong little Nie! Uncle will come back in 14 days, I promise!" amber eyes glinting coldly as he spoke in a determined voice, he will definitely make those people pay.

Such disloyal people, Snow dislike it very much.

"Imperial Uncle... Dong Lou... he..." the disappointed voice of the young boy echoed out but there was no sadness it contain on his young voice and only expressing a little bit of helpless about their situations, it seemed that the young boy have been numbed and was use from being betrayed by the people around them.

"Its alright Little Nie! Remember you are not alone!... As long as I'm still alive... they wouldn't be able to touch you." the young boy amber eyes lighting up brilliantly, it was so dazzling and fierce with unprecedented unyielding will, as it contain the promise of protection for a lifetime even at the cost with his own life.

It was so brilliant that Li Chen couldn't help but gasp his c.h.e.s.t, as his calm heart started beating loudly.

Ba dump Ba dump Ba dump

I want it... I really want it, that was the only thought that was running on Li Chen mind, as he watch with hidden burning gaze at the charmingly young boy, before Li Chen complexion change when the young boy body started falling sideways.

Not good!

Li Chen quickly rushed forward, holding the juvenile gently on his arm while noting the way the boy body seemed to stiffened from his touch - still retaining a little bit of suspicious but trusting him enough to let a stranger hold his body by the way it relax soon after- was the idea that flash on his thought.

"You are still injured! You needed to rest in order to get well soon."

A few silent second later, Snow nodded his head slightly, while secretly noting over the fact that he has retained the body instinctive reaction, definitely will note this fact when he will be using the client body later on.

Well then, Snow will let his body adjust toward the man touch, it will definitely give Li Chen more good 'impression' toward himself.

Then large amber eyes glancing side way, knowing that the man was currently watching his every move, before letting out a soft, weak and pitiful voice but containing a sincerity on it.

"... Thank you... for saving my life..."

Li Chen eyes light up, curving in a gentle arc before a magnetic low voice echoed out filled with gentleness "There was no need to express gratitude, I save you... because I wanted to."

Snow adorable earlobe seemed to turn little pinkish, such a nice sounding voice, he couldn't help but wonder how it will be like when the man voice wasn't unrestrained, before he turned quiet.

That idea was rather unlike him, was it the effect of using this body?

"Come, lets go back. I have to check over your injuries again."

Li Chen then stood up, still holding the young boy on his arm as he slowly walk back toward his house with gentle movement, afraid of letting the young boy to feel even a tiny bit of pain.

Unknown to Li Chen, Snow lip curving upward in delight but large amber eyes still remain calm and wave less as he silently lay and stay obediently on the man arms.

Well... Snow seemed to like this man more slightly.

If his guess was right, then he will see how everything will turn out later on.

Then let watch how Li Chen will be performing later on, Snow won't mind letting Li Chen be the one to fulfill the possibility that Snow couldn't do with 'Rei' in his original life.

Li Chen also has certain charm that can make Snow interested.

Li Chen was talented and skilled, there was a reason why he was chosen by the World Rule as a Substitute Protagonist, he was also handsome, Snow specially like the certain part where Li Chen was unable to let go of someone once it become important, that kind of nature was something that Snow would not be against with.

Especially when Li Chen was very "Useful" for Snow, it was the main reason why he will think about what Li Chen wanted without making him feel uncomfortable.

Snow also believe in equal exchange and since that was what Li Chen wanted, maybe, then Snow will give it in exchange.

As long as Snow will not feel very disappointed about him.
