Soul Eater

That Ability Used To Kill or Vice Versa

What is justice, what is truth, and why is this world full of suffering. Those were all things that was on Gladio's mind, he really felt the emotions exploding in his heart.

His body seemed to fall from a height of thousands of meters, there was absolutely no sense of tension or fear. The end of the waterfall can't be seen, it's all white, which Gladio continues to pass.

"Why was I born in this world?" The memories of everything in his head began to string into a sad storyline. Gladio feels sad to see his parents have to suffer. "If only I wasn't born into this world, surely they would be happy!" He didn't understand what made fate so cruel to him.

Gladio's eyes were closed, a single tear dripped from the membrane of his eye. "It's enough! I don't want to see everything!”

"Get up!"

A soft voice started calling out Gladio's name. "Uh!" He spontaneously opened his eyes. A beautiful-looking woman was already staring at him, a sweet smile etched clearly on her face.

Gladio got up and glanced around. "Huh? What the hell happened, earlier I felt like I was floating in the air at high speed sliding down, but why am I here now?” A flower garden overgrown with greenery and very beautiful flower colors.

Gladio stood up, he looked seriously at the woman who kept smiling to him.

"Where am I?"

“Right now you are in a place that will give yourself the answer to what has happened so far in life!”

Gladio held his chin. “Hmm… is this what Artorius meant to appease a wild soul?”

“That's right!” said the woman.

"Eh?" Gladio became surprised, he still didn't say anything. Only through on his brain did he contemplate, but the woman could guess what was going on in his mind.

“Yeah, I already know what you're talking about! Here no one can lie, all intentions and ambitions will be revealed!” The woman gave a faint smile and a sharp look in her eyes.

Gladio got goosebumps when he saw the woman's gaze, he didn't know what would happen. His feelings kept on giving signals to stay alert.

"Then what should I do now?"

“Before that, please introduce my name is Irish. I'm here to tell you a few things! The first, you are Naoto Takurayama. You are currently reincarnated, this new life will lead you to a pretty terrible fate! Second, you have a responsibility to save this world from the chaos that is going on!”

Gladio got goosebumps when he heard Irish's words. “I have already done reincarnation….” Gladio's eyes bulged at his two wide open hands.

"Yes, now try to look up at the sky!"

Gladio complied with Irish wishes, the more surprised he was when saw some visions from his past memories being played out.

“Naoto, how are you!” snapped a man who was her boss from the previous world. "You're too stupid, now get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"

Gladio was really angry remembering that incident.

“Hehehe….” At two o'clock, a memory flashed, it was the moment where Gladio was experiencing immoral acts from his classmate's theme when he was still in school. They peed, spit and hit Gladio's body. Gladio could not forgive their actions.

“That's right, I've been through all of this a long time ago! No one ever understood how I felt!” His eyes shrink out because of the pressure he put on his eyelids while closed.

“Useless child!” A very familiar voice came from the direction of 11 o'clock, when Gladio turned his head was annoying. He had to go back to seeing the man who had been physically and mentally tortured all this time, his bastard uncle and his family who always gave him more suffering.

"Bastard!" Gladio's body started to turn into a monster, he couldn't stand watching what had happened all this time. “Why is it happening again in this life? Eargh…!” He groaned until his voice echoed.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly the people he had seen were laughing at him. Gladio looked at them hatefully, his hands clenched into fists.

“I will destroy all of you who are here!” The emotions in his body could no longer be controlled, then he raised his hands up. The fire element began to form a giant ball.

Dug!

Gladio's chest suddenly felt pain, he fell down. The element that was ready to be used spontaneously disappeared.

“Huh, huh, huh!” Sweat was pouring out of his face. He didn't understand what was really going on, his chest suddenly hurt so much. "What's this?"

It felt like he was being stabbed by a thousand needles, each stab capable of making him scream.

From a distance Irish smiled, this all had nothing to do with her. “You have to be able to control the emotions in your body! I want to see if he has the courage to conquer it!”

"Eraagh..." Huge energy was blown from within Gladio's body, his body was felt burning with smoldering flames. “What happened to me! Fate, why are you so cruel to me!” Gladio began to let out a burst of anger that was inherent in his body. In a few minutes then all the energy that spreads suddenly enters Gladio's body.

"Uh?" Irish saw something strange. "What happened? Why did the energy in his body become tame?” She had thought that Gladio would be overcome by a softer energy and the anger within his body would dissipate, but the reality was different. The current Gladio had merged with his anger and made him a being of a different level.

"Eraagh..." Huge energy was blown from within Gladio's body, his whole body was burning with smoldering flames. “What happened to me! Fate, why are you so cruel to me!” Gladio began to let out a burst of anger that was inherent in his body. In a few minutes then all the energy that spreads suddenly enters Gladio's body.

"Uh?" Irish saw something strange. "What happened? Why did the energy in his body become tame?” He had thought that Gladio would be overcome by a softer energy and the anger within his body would dissipate, but the reality was different. The current Gladio had merged with his anger and made him a being of a different level.

The monster-shaped hand started to get smaller than before, but it still looked abnormal to the eye. People will still think of him as a monster.

"I see! Rather than hating this anger and suffering, I'd rather be friends with them, I didn't think it would be this tiring enough!”

Gladio's attitude has changed much more, the emotions in his body are still felt, but he smooths it all out.

Irish was really very surprised by what she saw. “So this is a prophecy human who will shake the world? Really, I have absolutely no idea what the possessor of destiny is thinking!”

"Uh?" Gladio looked back, Irish was already standing there. The woman didn't look happy as before, the worry in her eyes clearly showing.

Irish came closer and said, “I congratulate you! You can now control the energy in your body!”
