Soul Eater

Level 5

1 Augment path is available!

[Two Bodies, One Soul]

"What?" Keng spoke aloud. "Only one?!? I thought these would be cooler! What does it do?"

[Two Bodies, One Soul]: Grants sub-augmentations that alters the Spirit and Vessel's lifestyles. [Two Bodies, One Soul] also gives the following augmentations: [Double Harvest], [Linked Fate], [Soul Connection], and [Magical Rewrite.] Note: Taking this augmentation will force the Vessel and the Spirit to be separated from each other and can only take solace within each other up to 24-hours before one is ejected and starts a 1 week cooldown. This augmented skill from [Soul Eater] will apply to both parties and individually change both.

"Two Bodies, One Soul will change our lifestyles? What do they mean by that?" Keng's eyes re-read the information three times before letting out a frustrated sigh. "What do I do? What will happen to both of us?" The orb shifted in Keng's hands. He glanced at it and watched it rip out of his hands. "H-hey!" The orb flew two feet away from his chest and hovered in the air. Before Keng could even think about running towards it, the orb began to glow bright.

"Do you wish to accept these terms?" A deep voice answered. It sounded oddly like his voice, but deeper.

"Huh, hold on! T-t-this is something Lee Seng and I both shou—" Keng moved forward to snatch the orb, watching it fly out of his reach.

"Will it really help me?" Lee Seng's voice asked. Keng froze.

'Did I hear that right?' Keng wondered. 'Was that Lee?'

"It'll definitely help you. You can take over the Protocol and still have me around. Anything's possible. Believe me." The deep voice reassured him.

"Hey, Lee! Can you hear me?" Keng shouted. "LEE!"

"W-what's that voice?" Lee Seng asked. "Is it… Keng?"

"Keng?" The deep voice scoffed. "You don't remember me after Number 1 did all those things to you? Did her spell make you forget about me?"

"Hey, that isn't me! LEE! I'm in Daros!" Keng jumped for the orb but watched it fly further away. The orb began to shimmer brighter.

"I-I don't know what to do, but if you're insisting on this, we should just do it. It'll help both of us right?" Leee Seng spoke.

"Yes. It'll help all of us." The imposter Keng answered.

"Fine, I'll…"

—

Lee Seng sighed as he unlocked the bathroom door and stepped out of the bathroom. The hot steam rushed out of the bathroom and into the basement hallway. He flicked the lights off as he held his dirty clothes in his right hand. He continued to dry his hair with the towel around his neck as he turned right to get into his room. Lee Seng stepped into the lit room and shut the door behind him. He dumped his clothes into the clothes bin in the closet and turned around and sat on his bed. He continued to dry his hair as he grabbed his phone with his free hand and looked at it.

"Everything's in place." Lee Seng whispered. "New phone, new number. Might not be the best thing like that adventure grade, but at least I can keep in contact with everyone…" He scrolled through his recent messages with Akio and Akali. It was one-sided messages. He alerted them what had happened and opted out of mentioning anything about the spell Nicole pulled with the whole damn city. "They're off City grid for awhile… What am I gonna do? The one person I could confide in that isn't Keng would be Ritsuka, but he doesn't seem to remember anything at all… And Keng isn't even here."

Lee Seng threw the phone to the side, listening to it bounce as he focused his attention on drying more of his hair. He had gone quiet after Ritsuka and him arrived at the Korean BBQ place. He didn't try to bring anything else up. Ritsuka made small talk but Lee Seng was too occupied with what he was going to do next, that they ate in silence and came back. Lee Seng let out a sigh and tossed the towel to the side.

"What am I gonna do? What if Ritsuka doesn't really believe me? Wait." Lee Seng stood up and moved to his closet. He flicked the lights on and moved to the full body mirror that was at the other end of the closet. He leaned in and looked at his eyes. They were brown. He cursed under his breath and brushed his hair. "Who even allowed me to get this bright of a hair color? It kinda looks horrible on me… If I was gonna go blonde I should've— Wait, that's not the point right now, Lee Seng! Your eyes!" He pulled his eyelids up and down, trying to work the magic of connecting himself with his Fox Spirit self.

"Come on. Come on…!" Lee Seng whispered. He stared into his own eyes for awhile. Nothing seemed to happen. He straightened his back and blinked a billion times and rubbed them. "Come on…! If I can do this maybe I can reconnect with Keng. He said the eyes were the start to everything!" He blinked more and leaned back in. He watched his brown eyes start to turn red and blue. His excitement grew and then they flashed a different color.

"Wait!" Lee Seng shouted really loudly. He pressed his face up against the mirror and looked at his eyes. "They were— They were— They were almoost—"

His eyes were red and blue.

Wait.

They were red and blue?

"Was I imagining things?" Lee Seng whispered. A knock came on the door and Lee Seng spun around. "Shapeshift… Can I change my eye color to brown?" He turned back to the mirror and watched his ruby and sapphire eyes turn brown. "Cool, I can do it!"

"Hey, Lee Seng!" Ritsuka pounded on the door. "Is everything alright? Can I come in?"

"Huh?" Lee Seng popped out of the room as his bedroom door opened. Ritsuka was shirtless and in his boxers. The bathroom light was on and the sounds of the shower was going off.

"Are you okay? I heard you screaming." Ritsuka asked, concerned.

"O-oh!" Lee Seng quickly nodded. He moved over to Ritsuka and forced a smile. "I'm fine. I'm great. Just… Thinking out loud and go-got shocked by how I could convince myself of-of… Wanting to get shredded like you!" Lee Seng poked at Ritsuka's abs and then moved to poke at his pecs. Ritsuka blocked the pec poke and gave him a weird look.

"Dude, what're you doing?" Ritsuka asked.

"A-appreciating your body! You know how we were talking about my bufffff ass self at the mail center today? I-I just thought I wanted to get shredded again and wanted to get shredded like you! You have great body porpor…tions…" Lee Seng trailed off. He found an opening and grabbed Ritsuka's boob. Ritsuka shouted and slapped Lee Seng's grasp away and Ritsuka stumbled backwards.

"What are you doing?!? I told you no!" Ritsuka shouted in Japanese.

'He gets fluttered and switches to Japanese.' Lee Seng managed to think before Ritsuka covered his boobs.

"I-I know I got a nice body but I-I don't… I… ARGH!" Ritsuka spun around and ran straight for the bathroom. Lee Seng watched as Ritsuka dipped into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. The sound of the lock clicking, followed by an embarrassed scream that came out louder than intended went off.

"That's one way to get outta that…" Lee Seng sighed. He backed up to close the door. He slowly closed it and stared down the hall. "He does have nice pecs… I wasn't lying about getting shredded like him." The door shut and he spun around and made his way back into the closet. He watched the brown irises fade to its ruby and sapphire color.

"Huh? Soul Eater can get an augmentation? What is it?" Lee Seng asked.

[Two Bodies, One Soul]: Grants sub-augmentations that alters the Spirit and Vessel's lifestyles. [Two Bodies, One Soul] also gives the following augmentations: [Double Harvest], [Linked Fate], [Soul Connection], and [Magical Rewrite.] Note: Taking this augmentation will force the Vessel and the Spirit to be separated from each other and can only take solace within each other up to 24-hours before one is ejected and starts a 1 week cooldown. This augmented skill from [Soul Eater] will apply to both parties and individually change both.

"What does lifestyle mean?" Lee Seng whispered.

"It means we can live separately of each other and grow stronger individually." A deep version of Keng's voice answered.

"Keng? You're here? I thought you—"

"Something happened in your Soul and I had to hide. I'm back now."

"Oh." Lee Seng slowly nodded.

'Something sounds off about him…' Lee Seng thought.

"You should take the augmentation. It'll help the both of us out a lot." Deep voice Keng told Lee Seng.

"How? We don't know what lifestyles mean and what these other skills attached to it mean either. Plus, Eshra's ability mutation could make this even more stronger."
