ALL NOVEL Chapter 198: Kai’s 1st Reincarnation – Transcending Legacies!
One month had passed since the events of Kai and Spawn meeting outside the Wall.
Only once Kai had returned to the 4th floor to collect Selene.
After that, he spent his entire time on the 1st floor, working on his Abilities.
The restrictions on his Stats allowed him to push himself harder than he could ever have without them, Kai reflected. It would have taken him months to raise their Proficiencies, otherwise.
This extra month allowed Kai to do many things.
Most important among them were Spawn and her capabilities.
My body is composed completely of Necroplasm (-a will-controlled magical substance found in Hell-), master, Spawn had told Kai. A sentient and constantly evolving hell-born parasite has made me its host, bonding itself to my central nervous system. It takes the form of a symbiotic costume.
My shroud (-red cloak-), spikes, and chains are all its parts. HE told me that my body is as strong as my imagination, but I am still figuring it all out. If it weren't for me rejecting HIS proposal of sacrificing my entire soul to HIM, then I would have gotten magical powers as well. Now, with only half of my soul in HIS control, I am only allowed to use the Symbiote within me.
Kai had also learned that she could use Gentle Fist without Byakugan, as she had been taught the Chakra Network System since she was a child.
But Byakugan was absolutely necessary for her to see Chakra Points within a target and sever their Chakra flow. Not to mention, she would need Elementary Chakra Manipulation along with the Byakugan to achieve that feat.
Now, she could use her Gentle Fist Art to damage vital organs, and by targeting the Chakra Points, she could even break the SP consumption and regeneration rate.
It wasn't as Kai had hoped it to be, but somehow, his instincts were screaming to him that this parasite of hers was the best thing that had happened to him after Meg.
A good portion of his nights, Kai spent sniffing out the group that had kidnapped little Hao and then had burned Selena. From the Existence, he already knew that it was an organization directly under the influence of the Temple of Amon-Gorloth.
But even after killing hundreds of Contestants, Spawn ripping every single one apart in half, they failed to find the source of the target.
It had been difficult to calm her down after every killing adventure, Kai remembered, entering the hut.
Now the only thing in his mind was to get ready to leave the 4th floor.

Seven days later,
The White Room
Kai appeared out of teleportation with a blue shimmer around him.
The process of Battle on the 2nd Set was almost similar to the 1st Set but more formal in nature. After confirming his City Pass, they had assigned him to an infantry squad, led by a White Guard of the Royal Police Force.
They met the enemy in an open field. From Meg, he had already learned that on the 4th floor, the Kill Count was 20 4th-floor Contestants, and unlike the 1st Set, this Kill Count kept decreasing as one ascended the 5th and 6th floors.
On the battlefield, and amidst the chaos, killing one 4th-floor Contestant had been as easy for Kai as killing the 3rd-floor ones.
One devious use of Selene's Intangibility and her venom had been enough to allow Kai to not use his newly bought Items in the auction in the battle.
The quietness of the nation of Buckfastleigh wasn't enough for him. He had even changed the nation for the battle as well, avoiding the train station leading out of the capital city of Buckfastleigh completely.

Welcome back, Contestant Kai Stormborn
Do you have more questions about Chaos? You certainly can afford the last ones now.
]
…
Kai ignored the jest. There was only one reason for him to not ask Chaos the same questions he had asked the last time he was here.
Time Stretch!
"Chaos," Kai told the System, "I want to use my privilege to ascend all the floors of a Set simultaneously and to reincarnate as a main storyline Character."

Kai and Meg had spent too much time debating over this as there weren't many good options, to begin with.
There were Hermione, Ginny, and Luna at the top, but Kai had ultimately rejected them all. When Meg had pointed out he would be nearest to the Main Character if he were to choose one of these, then he had only chuckled in return.
I am not going there to suck Harry Potter's balls, Kai had quipped. What I need are wealth and power. Influence. None of the three girls you mentioned can give it to me in early childhood.
Only recently they had come to a decision.
It was risky, but if it were to work, then nothing would be better than this.
"I want to reincarnate into the Harry Potter Random World," Kai said, expectantly. "And the main storyline Character will be…
"… the twin sister of Draco Malfoy, with an approximate age of 4-years-old."

Main Mission: Transcending legacies
Mission Summary: Darcie Malfoy, 6, is the twin sister of Draco Malfoy, and daughter of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. While stepping down the stairs, she suffered an injury, resulting in loss of consciousness.
The Contestant is allowed to Reincarnate as her for a period equivalent to the Main Mission's Time Limit.
Mission Objective: Leave behind a legacy of death, destruction, madness, and doom
Mission Time Limit: 5 years
Mission Grade: D+
]
…
Kai stared at the age.
It was two years older than what he had planned but still better than the worst he had thought of. The Mission Objective looked impossible when combined with the Time Limit and the age of the girl, and if he didn't have the Mission Credits and a plan for this scenario, then he would have been sweating by now.
Kai had already increased the size of his Inventory to 40 cubic meters with a fourth of its capacity dedicated to MRB. He hastily got himself a pain factor of 0.5, burying the urge to get more, and only then did he ready himself for the next request.
"Chaos," Kai said, gulping, "stretch the Mission Time Limit as much as possible based on the Mission Credits that will be left after all the deductions."
There was no question of saving a single Mission Credit in Kai's mind.
If he hadn't paid for the Items in the auction before he had come to this decision, then he would have given up on buying them as well. Every single day in the Reincarnated world mattered to him before, and now that his Multiverse Interdependency about the Facelessness weighed his shoulders, even minutes were important.
The only reason he got his Inventory expanded was that he couldn't do it after teleporting to the Random World.

Calculating possible extension…
Calculation complete
Mission Credits transfer successful
New Mission Time Limit: 12 years

…
This?! Kai's eyes widened. Only 12?!!
It baffled him to his core. He was at least hoping to get 20-25 years, even if he were to account for the increase in Mission Grade and the change in the Random World.
Kai gritted his teeth. "Send me away."

Contestant Kai Stormborn,
You have availed the privilege of your rank in the Ranking of Worth Stat. As completing this mission will allow you to ascend to the 3rd Set, you must complete the Kill Count within the Main Mission Time Limit.
The moment your Main Mission is triggered, your Battle Sequence will be initiated.
If you were to fail in reaching the required Kill Count, then the Main Mission will be deemed as failed too, regardless of the actual result.
Sending the Contestant to the Random World…
Good Luck

Kai gave a last look at the whiteness around him and closed his eyes. The blue shimmer around him returned as he controlled his emotions, calming himself down. When he felt the familiar sensation of teleportation, Kai was only thinking about a few words —
By the time he returned here next time, he would be all grown up.
