Soulbound - reincarnated as a zanpakuto

I am sitting here all bored right now. Previously I tried to use the connection I have to my wielder by was unable to. It was like an extremely narrow tunnel that I could barely fit in. The problem is that I got tired and something inside me was hurting after a few 'steps' through it. Although thanks to that I was able to learn her name which is Ikeragi Atsune. Thank god it is going with her real name instead of a game nickname. I don't want to be wielded by some pussydestroyer or whatever.

I also noticed some other connections that I have no idea where they go to, but are way more unusable and solid. I also instinctively knew that those were only one-sided and that I could get rid of them, but I decided to not do that since I wouldn't know the consequences.

I know that those other connections are something like me granting those on the other side some sort of permission and they can have some abilities. It's very vague but better than nothing. Hopefully, I will learn more about this later.

"Any input system? Did I miss anything?"

The system has knowledge about it, but It shall not be shared before the user is able to utilize it to not cause confusion.

Shit. I asked it several times already. It seems there is no other way around it rather than just getting stronger. It would have been way easier if I could just contact my wielder to kindly ask for some souls to get.

Yeah, it sounds weird.

What to do now? I'm bored.

Oh. Right, how about trying to do something with this weird energy inside me?

I have realised that there is a small amount of some kind of energy inside me. It's hard to explain, it acts like some sort of water that is also solid or at least that's what I think.

So with that, I close my eyes, concentrate on this weird feeling inside me and try to manipulate it. Unfortunately, it doesn't listen to me, I fucking knew it's gonna be hard to do.

Just to be sure tried again and confirmed the definition of insanity.

What if I can't give it any direct order or try to manipulate it forcefully?

"Come here little energy, go to my hand please."

It actually moved minimally. I almost didn't notice it. Good thing I am alone here or it would have been totally cringe. Why it's not working?

Maybe I need to concentrate fully on a place I want to travel to.

I tried that focusing dully on my hand. At first, nothing happened and when I thought it wouldn't work the energy moved. It crawled inside my body into the hand and stayed there. After stopping concentrating on it the energy quickly went back to where it was before. It seems that I just cannot leave it there.

Then how about making it go to my hand and leaving my body through it? I closed my eyes and started doing exactly that. The energy listens to me, but the whole thing is tiring me. I don't exactly feel tired but more sluggish and weak.

In the end, the energy left my body and I could take a look at it. Without any shape acting like some sort of smoke that is bright blue in colour. I tried touching that but it just phased through my hand as if it didn't exist to begin with. Before I could inspect it some more it disappeared dispersing.

"So it cannot be away from my body for too long like that."

Noticing that the amount of energy inside me got smaller confirmed by suspicions.

"So it is mana? Did I just use it without even being a mage?"

Yes host, you did. You don't need to have a class to be able to learn things, but having a class makes it way easier. Just like you could fight with a sword while being a mage.

That's very useful and reasonable. I looked back at the energy and noticed that some of it regenerated. Good to know that it's getting back on its own without requiring any actions from me. I was scared that I would have to meditate or something to fill it every time.

Then something interesting happened.

[+12 souls]

Oh. Finally. Wait... System why is it 12 souls?

Those are souls formed from the parts scrapped from the real soul of the being. The stronger the being killed the more souls the host will get.

[+10 souls]

Again? What the fuck is she doing?

Then some distance before me some people appeared. They look totally like ghosts, by that I mean a semi-transparent body and all. I got closer to them and they all looked at me and bowed while saying something. That shocked me a little.

Why can't I understand them? What is going on?

The language they speak is something completely unknown to me and all of them are some sort of elves.

The first tier of classes is considered an introduction. The host will gain the ability to speak this language once that is maxed. In terms of a new citizen's race, it makes them automatically into a random race of other residents of the space which at this moment is only an elf due to the host being partly one.

"I see"

I already figured that I am some sort of elf or at least partly. I have pointy ears for fucks sake so it would have been stupid not to know that. I got away from the newly appeared beings and saw them then scatter around forming some groups while talking with each other.

"Then how would I get more souls."

From the ones host would not get scrapped entirely. Host can say to me which souls should remain as they are. That would make them lose all their abilities and strength while they retain their form, knowledge along memories. This however has drawbacks. The newly made souls like the ones that appeared now are locked to be loyal to the host while the others will be loyal but that could change. Other than that this method will cause the host to get way fewer soul parts.

I see. You get something but lose another.

"Do it so that the important people from the show will not be destroyed. The others are to be ground to dust."

Done

[+11 souls]

[+12 souls]

Let's check the status to see the changes. Without a doubt, I got some levels from that.

True name ??

souls: 45 (50)

current class: Warrior (5/50)

Str: 15

Vit: 20

Agl: 10

Nice. The first steps are the most important.

[+11 souls]

[+12 souls]

[+9 souls]

[+10 souls]

...

What the fuck is this woman doing. I hope she is not some psychopath.

After a few more notifications it got quiet and there were no more of them. On the one hand, I think it's bad because no more levels for me, but on the other if she suddenly killed a lot I would be afraid of her mentality.

"Now what to do with those guys"

I said while looking at the increasing group of ghosts that started floating around exploring this empty space while still maintaining some distance from me and the throne most likely as a form of respect or something.
