as he goes out with the lady he saw a man. this man's body.. it was different. that man was more like a perfect wooden doll. He looked at Yusko and pointed towards a chair. Yusko looked at it and sits down there. The man/doll took a cup of tea and handed towards him.
Yusko look at the cup and get the cup. But he didn't drink. Watching this, the doll said, "Relax! And drink it. You will gain some boost in your healing."
Yuso looked at the tea and took a sip. As he took a sip and immediately a smooth felling goes around his body. Yusko silently enjoyed the tea.
After a few minutes;
As Yusko end the tea, the doll start speaking, "I am called Sie Jung moon. No need to ask. The reason why I rescued you and take you with me is because of two reasons. First I was late and when I got there, I only found you and some others to rescue. And second I sense a abnormal amount of soul-mana from you. So I took you here with me while send others to the city nearby. I have a question for you. What is your trait? And before you think I am rude, my trait is grand-swordsmanship."
Yusko was a bit startled by the sudden information. But he also came to understand that now he have a source to gain knowledge about these traits.
Usko said, "I have the trait called copy. But what is this soul-mana you speak of?"
The man/doll seems to dumbfounded at his question.
The doll, "you don't know about soul-mana? Didn't you get the trait seed I mean soul seed from the inheritance of a soul world or hidden dungeon? Didn't they gave anything like soul-mana breathing technique or soul-mana meditation technique?"
Yusko was confused about it. soul-mana breathing technique? soul-mana meditation technique? What are those?
Yusko said, "No. I don't know anything about them. In fact I tried to use my trait before but it didn't work."
The doll, "No wonder it didn't. Without a proper soul-mana control a trait can't work. You didn't get even the basics."
Yusko looked at the doll and asked, "Please explain!"
The doll thought for a second and said, "It all start for me many years ago. The first time I started my adventure was at the age of 14. That time there was more of sea than land. So I had to start my sea journey on a small boat, but it got destroyed after a hour of my journey starts. And I fall in the sea. I thought I died but I got in another world called soul world. And there I got recruited in a swords soul sect. I learned about soul-energy and soul-mana. It has many types of powerful meditation technique. Some are at high level and needs special condition to do. Then come breathing technique – a way to control soul-energy or soul-mana whatever the user have in his body. It also used to awaken a soul gear or to use a soul gear. I learned one powerful sword meditation technique with a normal soul breathing technique. And when it was my time to return according to them, they gave me a soul seed. After eating it I came to understand swords more. But then I get it, the dungeon also got closed. From then on I started my dungeon to find the soul world again. So that I can refine my skills. But, my fate, ha.. I couldn't find another one. But in search of that dungeon I came before many other dungeons. From which I gain powers, but my body was too weak to handle it. In search of eternity, I became the cursed doll."
Yusko listen to every word of that doll and try to understand his story along with the concept of Soul-energy and Soul-mana. There were so much unknown in this world for him. Soul breathing techniques, meditation technique, different types of dungeons, eternity, cursed doll, .. … … one sec.. eternity? Cursed doll? He looked at the doll, like the doll was some kind of miracles of the world. No. it can be a miracle. If not. Is it normal for a doll to speak.
The doll looked at Yusko and says, "Don't look at me like that. Who don't want to live forever? Who don't want power? If you know the path of it, your human body will run automatically for it. Our emotions and body will always want to be immortal like gods. I was also the one who tried my best to gain it. That soul world can make you immortal. But my bad luck, in search of it I got cursed by a god and had to escape my fragile human body. But still I got captured and.. ha! And now I also don't have much power or time to live. My soul is destroying slowly. And now my last wish is to have someone who can inherit my powers."
The doll looked at Yusko with puppy eyes like he was begging him to fulfil his last wish.
Yusko, "Don't. Don't look at me like that."
The doll, "Okay. You go and eat something. After eating I will teach you my soul-meditation technique. You will need to awakened you soul core first to gain soul-essence. Now go."
Yusko stand up goes towards the hut. But to his surprise the lady came there with a tray of food.
After eating the lunch/breakfast, Yusko got a book from the lady. The lady said, "It's master's diary, where he write down those techniques. He said that you should read this book first.
But Yusko was thinking something else. He was thinking about going to then soul world now. his mind was full of fantasies' about the soul world. But he also knew he can't say it to them, cause he didn't want to.
By reading that book, here I am calling it a book cause, although it is said to be a diary, it only contains various types of sword technique and meditation methods, breathing technique and unknown theories about the soul seed. There is something also called soul fruit. Where meditation and other techniques whatever it's soul breathing technique or sword techniques, these comes from controlling the soul-essence and develop/convert it as either soul-energy or soul-mana. But soul seed is different. It is said that soul-seed born from human emotions, regret, fantasies and divine essence. Some theories also said that souls that don't live for long born as a soul seed. Some says that those souls with regrets born as soul seed. But there is also a mythological story. In old time when Sogeking and soul gods exists, the ghosts and Ashuric ones were developing too fast and causing the destruction.
They were coming out of their living place and going towards the higher realm. How they were getting powerful so fast was still unknown. The gods decided to interfere now. they broke their essence and create soul seed for humans. And thus came the soul-seed. But soul seeds only can exist in soul-world cause it didn't have any physical bodies. But then somehow the seeds goes in different realm and there with the physical energy of that world they start to develop into trees. And these trees called world trees. The fruit born from the world tree is called soul-fruit.
Yusko was so amazed with reading these types of things, he thought he was back into his old days. But then come the main thing, soul-meditation technique.
Soul meditation technology is a simple breathing technology, which tells that you need to breath soul essence in your body. Then pump it with breathing until you start to feel hot. When you feel it, hold it inside you as long as you can. And this is the first stage. Here you will be making a soul core by using the soul energy. But the problem is you need a huge amount of essence to create a small core.
Without thinking much Yusko start doing it. He didn't notice four eyes were observing him from the dark.
After1 hour.....
..
After3 hours.....
…
After5 hours.....
Yusko wakes up. Although he start to feel the soul-essence, but its too little…
