"Ding, congratulations, the host has activated the retirement pension system. This system will be officially activated after the host retires. Currently, it is a trial version ."
After hearing the voice in his mind, Yamabuki wanted to delete his account and start over.
"System."
"Yes, host ."
"How old do you think I am this year?"
"18."
"Are you really telling me to activate the system only after I retire?" Yamabuki asked as he cursed angrily.
"Host, don't get agitated. This is to cultivate your temperament! When you have experienced the changes of the world, the shifts of time, and the washing away of superficiality, and have become refined and content, seeing through the mundane, the official version of this system will naturally launch."
"Fine, you talk a lot; you're always right. But can you help me deal with those hollows behind me first?" Yamabuki shouted as he looked behind him. There are more than a dozen Hollows behind him, chasing him!
Three days ago, Yamabuki accidentally crossed over to this place called Soul Society.
As a time traveler, Yamabuki knew that this world was extremely dangerous, with Aizen causing chaos and Yhwach threatening to destroy it. To survive, he needed to strengthen his abilities as much as possible.
And the simplest way to get stronger is to join the Gotei 13 and become one of its members. With his familiarity with the plot, living as a seated officer is quite a good life.
But he was new to the place and unfamiliar with it, so he could only ask people in the Soul Society little by little. But not a single person in Soul Society had heard of the Gotei 13.
With no other choice, he can only walk the path to find the Gotei 13 on his own. Then he encountered these Hollows!
"Host, don't panic. You can draw your Zanpakuto and fight the Hollows, or you can convert excess Reiatsu into Kido for attacks. Young man, don't think you can rely on others for everything." Yamabuki looked at his empty hands, then felt the pitifully weak Reiatsu in his body and chuckled, "Heh, what a great suggestion."
"By the way, in order for the host to survive in the chaotic Soul Society, this system is feeling magnanimous and decides to send a beginner's gift pack. Please check it. You didn't take it out earlier. Hurry up and use it!"
Yamabuki wasted no time as he did just that.
"Ding The newbie gift pack has been used, and you have received the title, Child of Destiny.
Ding, you have obtained a Zanpakutō!
Ding, you have achieved mastery in swordsmanship.
Ding, you have obtained mastery of shunpo.
Ding, you have obtained vice-captain-level Reiatsu.
Child of Destiny: As the Child of Destiny, the protagonist can break racial limits and grow infinitely. This trial version of the system ends here. If you want to unlock more features, we'll see each other again after retirement." With those words, the system went silent.
Yamabuki hurriedly drew his zanpakuto, turned around with a shunpo, and in an instant, the zanpakuto pierced through a hollow's mask.
These hollows who were chasing Yamabuki saw the little lamb suddenly turn into a big black bull and were somewhat at a loss.
However, most of the hollows have no intelligence; they only act according to their body's instincts and rush over frantically again.
After mastering swordsmanship, Yamabuki felt that the sword in his hand had become one with him, moving as he wished. As the hollows in front of him moved, various flaws appeared before his eyes. With a swift motion, the second hollow was slain!
Hmph! Look who is the predator now.
Yamabuki exuded powerful Reiatsu from his entire body and slowly approached the Hollows. However, what Yamabuki didn't expect was that a few of the Hollows actually felt fear and turned to escape through the black cavity.
Hollows with intelligence often evolve to higher levels, while those without intelligence, who only act on instinct, recklessly charge forward again.
The vice-captain's Reiatsu was already very powerful for most Shinigami and Hollows.
In less than five minutes, all the Hollows were wiped out. Yamabuki wiped his sweat and thought, 'No wonder every time traveler hopes to have a golden finger; it really is formidable.'
At this point, it was already getting late, and Yamabuki found a cave that was neither too big nor too small. So he planned to spend the night there.
At times like this Yamabuki starts to miss the soft bed at home and the games he hasn't completed yet.
Just as Yamabuki was about to find some hay to use as a mattress, he suddenly noticed that someone had appeared at the entrance of the cave, staring at him.
Yamabuki's heart tightened.
You should know that the security in Soul Society is extremely chaotic, with murders and thefts happening frequently. Driven by instinct, he gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist and carefully scrutinized the person in front of him.
It was a middle-aged man, looking to be around forty, dressed like a samurai, with a Zanpakutō at his waist.
' That's not the uniform of the Gotei 13; this person's Zanpakuto must be scavenged,' Yamabuki speculated to himself.
The middle-aged man said, "You don't need to be nervous; I mean no harm. I just saw your fight; you're quite a strong warrior. Would you like to join my organization?"
Yamabuki "I refuse. Please leave here immediately."
What kind of joke is this? I'm about to join the Gotei 13; how could I leave with someone so suspicious? As everyone knows, to secure a comfortable retirement, one must have a good position. The only legitimate organization in the Soul Society is the Gotei 13. No matter what methods are used, the most important thing is to get into the Gotei 13 first.
The middle-aged man not only didn't leave but also sat cross-legged.
' Big brother, are you so familiar with me? Didn't you see that I was about to draw my knife? ' Yamabuki complained.
"I have a dream," the middle-aged man said.
Talk to me about dreams. Are you out of your mind? Do you think this is a 21st-century job interview?
"You see, the Soul Society is in complete chaos right now. This situation can only be suppressed with extreme measures. I need manpower at the moment," the middle-aged man said as if no one else were around.
Fine, if you're not leaving, I will. I don't want this place anymore, and I don't want to hear you rambling on here.
"In order to suppress the chaos, I am preparing to establish an assassin organization. Young man, how about joining me?" the middle-aged man asked.
Yamabuki said expressionlessly, "I refuse."Saying this, Yamabuki cautiously circled around the middle-aged man, preparing to leave the cave.
The middle-aged man looked at Yamabuki 's resolute attitude, a hint of loneliness appearing in his eyes, and said softly, "Originally, I even gave this assassin organization a very nice name, called the Gotei 13 Now it seems..."
Yamabuki having already walked halfway, directly used shunpo to appear in front of the middle-aged man, looking surprised and asking, "What did you just say the name of the organization you want to establish is?"
"Gotei 13! What's going on?" the middle-aged man asked.
Yamabuki thought of a possibility and cautiously asked, "May I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Shigekuni, and my full name is Yamamoto Shigekuni "
Yamamoto Shigekuni The founder of the Gotei 13 a thousand years ago!
"Ask me the question you just asked again," said Yamabuki excitedly.
Yamamoto looked at Yamabuki strangely and asked, "Would you like to join the assassin organization I am forming?"
"Okay "
"Why are you willing this time?"
"Because the name sounds cool ."
