My Kai System

---

Riker was walking slowly on the mountain paths. The path was difficult and dangerous, but his inner courage was pushing him forward. Suddenly, his feet slipped, and he fell down into the swamp. The swamp was deep and dragging.

"What is this place?" Riker said in panic.

The voice of "My Kai System" echoed in his ears:

"Stay calm, Riker. You have to use your power to get yourself out of here."

Riker struggled, but the swamp began to pull him deeper and deeper. Suddenly, he fell under the swamp and reached a dark, mysterious place.

The Underground City

When Riker regained himself, he saw that he was in a strange city. The people here were like decapitated figures—they had no heads, but they moved and acted with some unknown power. Their actions were strange and even scary.

"What is this place?" Riker said to himself.

The decapitated figures slowly started moving towards him. Violent intent was clearly evident in their movements.

"Riker, run away from here immediately! I am giving you a new skill," warned "My Kai System."

A soft light flashed around Riker, and his body felt new power.

"New Skill: Wind Walk activated."

Riker suddenly felt light and fast. His legs started running faster than the wind. The decapitated figures kept trying to catch him, but Riker passed through them like the wind.

The Labyrinth and the Cry for Help

Riker ran and reached a large open area. There were high walls all around, and even after looking in every direction, he could not find a way out. Just then, he heard screams from behind a heavy iron door.

"Someone help me!" a young man's voice echoed.

"My Kai System" said,

"This is an important mission for you, Riker. There is a warrior behind the door—the Red Warrior. It is your duty to save him."

Riker opened the door, and saw that inside was a 19-year-old boy with red hair and black clothing. He was bound in magical chains. Blue light emanated from the chains, as if they were bound by some ancient magic.

"Who are you?" Riker asked.

"I am the Red Warrior," the boy said. "These chains are binding me. Save me, or we both won't be able to get out of this place."

"My Kai System" warned:

"Riker, these chains are not ordinary. You will have to use your inner strength to break them. Concentrate and use the energy of your soul."

Riker looked at the chains carefully. He slowed his breathing and focused his energy. A light gathered in his fists, and he tried to break the chains. After failing at first, he felt the power hidden deep within his heart.

"You can do it, Riker," said the Red Warrior.

Finally, the chains broke with a loud bang. Red Warrior was free.

A Companion and a New Beginning

"Thank you," said the Red Warrior. "I owe you. I know this city well and can show you a way out."

"What is this place?" Riker asked.

"It's a labyrinthine place called the City of the Headless. Anyone who gets trapped here never gets out. But I have a secret way."

Red Warrior and Riker found the secret way together. They dodged the headless figures and made their way out of the dark city.

As they stepped onto the outer edge of the city, Riker realized that their journey was only just beginning. Red Warrior was now his companion.

Chapter 3: Red Warrior's Past and New Challenge

After leaving the City of the Headless Souls, Riker and Red Warrior stopped in an open valley. There were rocks and barren land all around. Fatigue was clearly visible on their faces. After a few moments of silence, Red took a deep breath and said to Riker,

"I don't know how you came to have this power and mission, but perhaps my past can help you understand something."

Red Warrior's Past

Red said with a depth in his voice,

"I was a student of Thomson, the third leader of the Spirit World. He was not only a great warrior, but also the protector of the balance of this world. I started my journey as a Spirit Warrior under his tutelage. Thomson handed me powers like 'White Fire Flame' and 'Stone Armory'. I thought that I would become like him and protect this world.

But then an unknown power attacked our world. It not only changed the laws of this world, but also cursed our souls. Every warrior, every protector... everyone turned into spirits. I was able to survive only because of Thomson. He ordered me to hide, but till date there is no clue as to where he went.

After that I tried to save my life by hiding in this underground city. But the spirits here caught me and tied me in chains. I thought, my story would end there. But because of you I am standing here today."

Riker's Story

Riker replied after listening to Red,

"I am from the human world. An AI named Mai Kai system brought me to this world. My mission is to find my father and understand why this world has changed. I am only 17 years old and still don't understand why I have to do all this."

Red looked at Riker in surprise.

"A boy from the human world? And he has to go to hell."Sent to this dangerous world? What does this system want?"

Riker clenched his fists and said in a serious tone,

"I don't know myself. But I have to do this."

Monster Attack

In the middle of their conversation, the ground suddenly trembled. A roar shook the atmosphere. They looked ahead, where a huge beast stood. Its body was rough and its eyes were deep red.

"My Kai System" warned:

"Level 15 Monster Beast. Dangerous and deadly. Be careful to defeat it."

The beast wasted no time and attacked them. Ryker tried to escape, but his speed was too slow for the beast. In one stroke, the beast knocked Ryker to the ground. He suffered a deep wound on his back.

Red immediately sprang into action. He picked up his bow and shot an arrow wrapped in 'white fire flame' at the beast. The arrow hit the beast's paw, causing its skin to burn and fall off. But then something unusual happened.

Luna's Spirit

A blurry figure emerged from within the beast. It was the spirit of a girl. Her hair was bright and her eyes were strangely calm. She was floating in the air like a shadow.

"My Kai System" reported:

"This is Luna's spirit. She was a powerful spirit warrior of level 25. It is now trapped in the soul of a beast."

Luna looked at Riker. Her gaze was deep and restless, as if she wanted to say something.

"Who are you?" Luna's voice was low but clear. "Looking at you, it feels like I know you."

Red immediately took out the "Spirit Capture Stone" and moved to capture Luna's soul.

"This soul could be dangerous. We have to destroy it."

But as Red held the stone out to Luna, Riker grabbed his hand.

"Wait! Don't touch it."

Red said angrily, "Do you even know how dangerous this soul could be? If it is released, it could destroy us."

Riker replied seriously, "No. It wants to say something. I think it should be given a chance."

"My Kai System" suggested:

"Riker, you can give Luna a new body. But this decision is risky."

What will Riker do?

Riker went into deep thought. He knew that capturing Luna's soul was easy, but there was something in her eyes that forced him to stop.

Will he give Luna a new body?

Or will he listen to Red and imprison her forever?
