Ultimate Gacha System: Reborn Into A Crazy Fantasy

Chapter 68: The Hell, Brave and Daring



Just as his body massage was about to end, Aleron also finished constructing his Hell in the Flame Blaze Abode secret realm.

This secret realm was an Elemental dimension and existed in a unique plane of existence, unlike planets and stars.

It had no normal sky or stars visible. Instead, it had five different colored sun-like orbs that lit up the dimension and 99.9% of things were of flame-attribute, be it trees, mountains, sea, and everything.

All things had the attribute of fire and were geared towards fire-dominant hybrid attributes with other elements.

Aleron created a simple Hell here, using up to 100 million Magilore to create seven punishment zones.

Each zone gave different types of punishments to the soul.

Using up a vast amount of Magilore and weaving it into this big formation which he called Hell, each zone gave out a different type of punishment to souls.

Using this Flame elemental dimension's atmospheric energy, Aleron added the function of absorbing it to conjure the punishments.

The souls were given the shape of a humanoid and hitting those souls via various punishments would bring them pain and agony.

For example, getting flagged by flame whips constantly, burned in a sea of fire, getting their skull crushed, getting eaten alive by flame snakes, getting tortured by various weapons made of flames, etcetera.

Each zone had a few types of punishments in them, and Aleron threw all two hundred thousand souls in the zones according to the suffering they spread to innocents.

The higher the suffering, the more painful and longer the punishment.

As everyone's cries and agony rang, Aleron was reminded of a few books he read regarding hell, and how each Hell gave out punishments to the soul according to the sins they committed.

[Gacha Quest: Punishment Mete Out has been completed. You have gained 7840 Gacha Points.]

'Finally!' Aleron grinned as he looked at the souls getting punished.

'Hmm, but what happens to the soul after they finish their punishments?

'Maybe they go into some kind of rebirth cycle with no memories and fresh souls or there's a soul factory that absorbs those souls to create brand new ones? Damn, I don't know, but I can't do those things myself.'

'Hmm, I guess I can just release them outside, so they'll automatically go into the purification of the rebirth cycle or something else by the cosmos.'

Aleron nodded, 'Humu, this is best.'

However, he suddenly noticed something strange as the punishments were being given to those two hundred thousand souls.

'What's this?'

[Gachapi: Master, this is soul essence. I think these souls getting punished are being purified as well. What did you think in your subconsciousness when you were creating this Hell?]

'Eh? I don't know... I think I wanted to give them punishments equivalent to the suffering they spread to others and that they shouldn't do this and reflect. Like....that's what you do while getting punished, right?'

'Anyway, I don't know what I was thinking subconsciously since I was focused on creating hell.'

[Gachapi: I see. Well, they are indeed reflecting and regretting, but some souls who are too corrupted and feel anger instead of remorse are getting another reaction from the Hell that's pulling another reaction from this dimension.]

[Gachapi: In short, those souls who aren't feeling remorse or regret or showing signs of being good are getting purified into soul essence. Master, you should absorb this to increase your soul source's power.]

'Oh damn, so what happens when their souls are refined?'

[Gachapi: Nothing. Just their soul power, memories, sense of existence, and such things are getting extracted and turning into soul essence. Eventually, they'll only be left with a singular consciousness incapable of functioning or thinking anything. You can just release them and they'll go into the cosmos cycle automatically like other souls.]

'I see...so how do I absorb this soul essence,' Aleron curiously looked at the soul essence getting gathered in the zones. It looked like a white aura with black spots.

[Gachapi: this soul essence being produced is not pure. You can simply refine this soul essence by removing those black spots using your soul force and then absorbing it.]

'I see. Alright, I'll try.'

"Boss, the pills are ready."

Just as Aleron was about to start, Odar arrived from the portal behind him.

"Damn, this is like a real hell," Odar was dumbfounded as he flew up and looked at the seven big zones with crazy hellish punishments in different sections of the zones.

"Haha, like a real hell? Nah, this is the real hell," Aleron laughed. "Anyway, since the pills are ready, then let's go."

"Oh yeah, boss. There are no soul-type resources here. I thought they wouldn't be rare in this secret realm, they are hard to get here too," Odar wryly smiled. "I guess we'll have to take it slow and increase our soul power in the normal way."

"What is the normal way?" Aleron raised his eyebrows.

"Well, the first is constantly fighting and just living your years while stimulating your soul and desires. This is slow, but steady progress that most people follow. There's a more effective method, which is participating in life-and-death situations. When you truly feel death near you and fight it, your soul source gets stronger."

"Of course, people don't do this often, but only doing it one or two times is enough to invoke the soul's potential," Odar said before he sighed and lamented. "Since Sir Darzax can revive me, I lost the feeling of death when I fight and since I died several times, I don't want to risk myself without a guarantee of survival."

Odar slapped himself with a downcast expression, "I'm pathetic, boss. What do I do to be able to be daring and brave?"

"Daring and brave..." Aleron muttered as he flew towards the portal. "Come."

Both of them left the Flame Blaze Abode realm and returned to Eldertide Archipelago.

They arrived in the room where Enorin, Darzax, and Riki were recovering in the dreamy healing bubble.

"These three are daring and brave. They were able to risk their lives daringly and bravely... only for me," Aleron smiled. "I am the bond and center of their life. For me, they can go to any

lengths."

"Darzax knew everything about me since he read my whole soul. I love happy endings, so he wanted to save Enorin as well as wanted me to defeat Akuma with none of us losing."

"He and Riki fought stronger monsters and brought back resources while risking their lives, but also staying alive because I would be sad if they died, so they returned with resources despite the odds."

"That's why Enorin could live and seal the body again and I could also fight the Akuma and my soul potential exploded seeing how far they were going for me."

Aleron grinned as he looked at the trio, "For those who share this bond with me, I will become daring and brave as well, and I can go to any length for them."

Turning to Odar Aleron patted his shoulder, his hand almost passing through since he was in soul sense avatar, and smiled, "If you can go to any length and risk your life for a bond you feel precious or a purpose worth betting your life, then you can be daring and brave for them too."

"Odar, will you go to any lengths for me?"

Looking at Aleron's warm yet bright smile, Odar felt a lump in his throat, his eyes trembling. 'At first, I joined you with happy-go-lucky because you are so powerful, boss. You have an Exceed-rank subordinate and so much crazy stuff...whatever I do, my life is easy now with

you.'

'But now...' Odar clenched his fist and knelt on one knee, "Boss!"
