Limitless The Strongest Revenant

One distinct super power present in eastern fiction but not in western culture was the concept of domains. Basically, used by cultivator novels and manga, the idea was past a certain point a cultivator could influence the real world by just his/ her powers.

If the cultivators domain was related to fire, then inside this limited space, his abilities related to fire were set to max. Being able to use flames, create objects, beings or even heal. The scope of domains was endless.

The normal flavor text was that it was an expression of a person's mind or will which was why it always gave the cultivator exactly what they needed. Funnily enough being an extension of ones will was an attribute I also attached to {Fates}. As abilities borne from regret it was only naturally a Reapers mind shaped it to a certain extent.

'And now similar to the things I learned from IRIS, fiction and reality came together.'

Carlos continued his lecture by explaining what his model Specter Carlos did.

"To put it bluntly. A Specters domain is his holy ground. Ones {Fate} which only could influence the Reaper to a limited degree would begin to go beyond that and influence the world. This naturally creates a thousand of different applications for the Specter."

My impromptu lecturer then thought for a moment before continuing.

"I guess without using a tangible example it would be hard to understand. I will use my own {Fate} family as the demonstration. My main {fate} is {King of the Street} it was how I envisioned my self to always command an army ready to full fill my will."

When Carlos suddenly began explaining my {Fate} I grew grateful to him. Just talking about another's {fate} was an incredible sensitive topic. It was normally taboo. Yet he did so all to ensure I understand his lesson in the best way possible. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

'Although considering that now I owe him, one could say that he did it for a free favor.'

Technically our scale was still heavily leaning towards me. I not only cleansed this Specter of his malice, but intended to give him a place to stay. While information was important, I was taking a big risk to shelter him in my battlefront.

"My Wraith rank {Fates} are the following: {King of the street} that creates tangible ghosts as my Champions, {Survival of the street} that strengthens them and increases their number and {Respect of the street} that allows my ghosts to move on their own."

As Carlos explained my ears noticed that the names of his {fates} were not in English but something else. {Interpret} probably translated them into my mother tongue automatically.

'Exa are Carlos' {fates} in another language?'

[Yes, they are in Spanish. The actual names for the ones he just mentioned are {Rey de la calle}, {Respeto de la calle}, {Liderazgo de la calle}.]

'Hmm. I guess the differences in languages would prevent People from stealing each other's {fates}.'

[Yes. If you were to take his blood and invoke {King of the street} it would not actually work. You would need to invoke it in its original Spanish version to use Carlo's {Fate}.]

'I see, then is he talking to me in Spanish now?'

[No, he is speaking in English. However, Herman has been insulting you in Spanish since this battle began.]

'Pfft, forget about him for now. Is Bella's {Code} also in Brazilian? What about the other Sirens?'

[Yes, it is in Brazilian Portuguese. In fact, none of the Siren's {Fates} can be invoked using modern day English.]

'Then how the fuck am I able to use any of them? Didn't I gain {Code} before I got {Interpret}?'

[I am not sure. I can only theorize that the {Fates} themselves having done something to understand you. {Interpret} actually played a big role in allowing Hellsend to combine such a diverse number of groups.]

'I would have to agree. I even got to talk to Roach and Juno. Out of curiosity, list out for me what the original keywords are for the Sirens's {Fates}.'

[As you command my lord, here they are in their original forms.

1. {Standast} (Withstand in Norse)

2. {Styran} (Store in Old English)

3. {Binyang} (Carry in Nyungar)

4. {Ascolta} (Listen in Milanese Italian)

5. {Código} (Code in Brazilian Portuguese)

6. {Perseve} (Perceive in Seychellois Creole)

7. {Taberu} (Eat in Japanese)

What the fuck?! The closest among my current {Fates} to English was the one from Africa! Wouldn't anyone who took a foreign {Kindred} be fucked? Wait! Weren't all my girls speaking English? Or were they talking to me in their own languages and {Interpret} translated?

And why the fuck was Old English different from English? Just how old was this fucking English? As if that was not enough, wasn't Australia just prisoner ships from England? What the fuck was Nyungar? And why was Robyn's {Fate} written in it?

'If {fates} follows the mother tongue of the Reaper, then how are {fates} even sold in the marketplace? Wasn't Isolde's {Sky Dragon} there? How is it actually listed?'

[It is listed in the Graveyard marketplace as {Himmelsdrache}.]

'…'

[German and English are somewhat related my lord. Both belonging to the West Germanic branch of the Germanic languages. They share many similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. So once proper pronunciation is learned it will not be difficult to invoke.]

'I am surprised I am only learning of this now. Then do the girls invoke each others {fates} in their mother tongues? I can only speak English so I don't even know how that would work.'

[I would have to ask, as I use machine language to converse with them via Technopathy, to me the difference of languages means little.]

Hearing the words of Exa, I then began to think of a different issue. Was this why Reapers cross continents hardly worked together? Because language itself would pose as an issue in understanding one another. I am again reminded how fortunate I was to have gained {interpret} early on.

"…less? Limitless! Oy! Are you still with me??"

A voice then took me off guard, calling my attention back to reality. It took a few moments for me to gather my thoughts back to the South American Specters.

Herman obviously displeased, began acting like an asshole. It only occurred to me that he was probably cursing me this entire time in Spanish believing I couldn't understand him.

"Look at this ungrateful cocksucker, Carlos is wasting time and using his own {Fate} as an example and here you are daydreaming! Do you even understand English? Carlos, why not talk to him in Spanish? Maybe he will understand better."

'Exa, make me talk in Spanish and translate for me. And make it as vulgar as possible.'

[Sigh. I understand my lord.]

"Why the fuck are you the one bitching? No one asked you to be here!" I rebuked.

"Huh? You can understand Spanish? Since when?"

"The entire time you Spanish flavored dipshit fuck! I just chose to ignore you."

Carlos got in between Herman and I with a wry smile.

"Limitless. This lecture is something I did of my own volition but I believe it was necessary for you to understand the combat capabilities of Specters. Do you wish for me to continue?"

While I had some idea's of Domains from fiction, not taking advantage of Carlos diligently explaining the concept to me was fucking idiotic. But granted I did allow my thoughts to wander, I gave him a quick apology.

"I'm sorry for not paying attention, Carlos. Yes, if I can bother you please continue your explanations from earlier."

"Okay. Apology accepted, what was the last thing you heard?"

"Your Wraith level {fates}."

"Hmph! That was almost ten minutes ago!" an interloper complained.

The Inca warrior ignored Herman and resumed his lecture.

"Right, as mentioned my Wraith level {Fate} focuses on creating what are simply clones for independent action. Similarly my Phantom level {Fates} also focuses on a particular theme. After hitting the limit of creating an army using myself, I subconsciously thought of using others."

"Subconsciously? What do you mean when you say a theme?"

"To put it simply a theme is a evident commonality between the {Fates} ones invokes. As the Reaper ranks themselves have great differences, each rank normally tries to solve a problem. This problem is one you Subconsciously create as the path towards your ultimate wish."
