I was seated in a pitch black chamber, my hands and arms tied to a chair, ""You have failed your mission. You know the consequences."" A female voice said, and immediately a bone breaking Qi invaded my body, destroying and repairing everything in its path. ""Now, tell me, what do you know of the new Pope? You see, he also asked around for the exact same words as you... "Organisation" and "Marshall""" But as she said these words her Qi stimulated my brain causing me to blurt out a sentence on accident. ""IN THE MARSHALL WE TRUST!"" I shouted through the room, while my heart rate increased and a picture of a Man in a Black trench-coat appeared in my head, holding a device destined to destroy all.
But I couldn"t make sense of any of it, yet my brain was a.s.sault again as the word loyalty swirled through it. ""Send him for re-training!"" She ordered two burly men who were flanking me from the sides.

While our friends in the old timeline were in a dilemma what to do with Werner Von Braun, Kyle has landed himself in a precarious position, with the only way to reactivate his bodily functions through a Qi injection to activate the automatic defence and awakening protocol. The sun rises and sets for an uncountable amount of times. Soon 200 years have pa.s.sed, this year is known by the future as the day of awakening. The new Pope has consolidated his powers ma.s.sively, expanding the church almost continent-wide, while an old Organisation of a.s.sa.s.sins has had a change of leadership, causing turmoil but a rapid expansion at the same time. Yet, that is not the reason why this day is called the [Awakening], today is the day were a boy, only at the Bronze Core stage 3 awakened someone he should have let resting... Today is the day that a resting Dragon opens its eyes again!

POV: Kyle"s
"Warning, activating defence mechanisms, low-level Qi detected!" I groaned as I grabbed my head with my hand, "Checking implant and body conditions... All damages sustained have been repaired..." I tried to stand up as I open my eyes, "WARNING! LOW POWER SUPPLY!" The system sounded again as my leg implants churned unable to provide any support. Causing me to collapse on the ground again. It was then that my ears started to pick up sound again, ""Mister!"" Someone shouted. I opened my eyes partially, I saw an impoverished boy standing in front of me, rags covered his body. ""f.u.c.k off,"" I said as I tried to stand up again, but yet again, the same warning sounded.
The boy tried to support me after 3 tries later, he injected Qi into my legs which then finally started to work, I looked at him with a suspicious gaze, ""Who are you?"" I asked the boy who immediately looked to the ground, I just grunted and started to move forward with his Qi injections, but the moment he stopped them my legs stopped again. "This is probably the biggest downside of Implants!" I cursed in my head.
He injected me with Qi again and we proceeded forwards, walking towards the mountains, a few days pa.s.s, I used my arm implants to hunt animals which we ate on a fire. My armour was constantly active as I no longer trusted anything on this planet. This continued for several weeks, the boy tried to cultivate as well from an old book. ""Pa.s.s me that,"" I said to him, but he quickly grabbed it and hid it, ""Boy, give it now!"" I demanded.
He reluctantly gave the book, cursing his luck, [He who Grasps the Heavens Grasps the Earth], "Quite overbearing," I mocked the book, "a.n.a.lyse contents," I ordered my internal CPU, "a.n.a.lysing, cultivation manual from the 2nd Dynasty... Cultivation errors... 263... cultivation potential current... Eagle Core stage 7... Do you wish me to correct?" the system asked, "Only correct the errors below the Eagle core and raise it until stage 9," I ordered, with a quick light appearing I gave back the book, ""this is for helping me walk,"" I said as I looked at the water surface, taking off my mask I touched my face, it has changed, it is very pale, while my hair has turned completely white, yet no wrinkles have appeared at all, quickly putting my mask on I turned it into that of a real old man.
""Where are we going?"" I asked the boy, ""There,"" He pointed to the ma.s.sive mountain range, ""What is there?"" I asked him, He just pointed at my cybernetic legs, ""Fix,"" He said, I was astonished, this knowledge from my society is almost gone from the face of the earth!"
We walk for months, in the time I teach him certain parts of the cultivation technique while my nano-mites clear all meridian blockages. I started to understand this boys background bit by bit, it seems that he was the son of a priest and that he wanted him to go also into the priesthood, yet they found out he was born with broken meridians, causing him to become outcast, he fled with a book he found in the library, he started to cultivate to prove them wrong, but it seems that fate was against him, forced into slavery he just escaped when he found me buried under heaps of sand, while a beeping noise was emitted, curious he excavated my body and tried to check for life using his Qi, which in the ended awakened my system.
"I need more strength to survive, I need to get out of this timeline!" I set my mind on my targets. I was talking to myself when the boy finally started to run upwards, ""We"re here!"" He shouted with delight I used the last bit of Qi he left in my body to walk upwards, and before me, a ma.s.sive Buddhist temple stretched upwards, although in decay it was impressive. But what caught my attention was the...
