Chapter 28: Am i a God?
Looking at his glowing self, Leon mused;
'Am i a God?'
This was the first thing that came to his mind as, all his life, all he had been seeing in his dreams and visions was powerful glowing Gods, so it's only natural that he would aspire to be one.
[Do you think becoming a God is this easy?! Though you are my reincarnation you are still far from becoming a God yourself!]
The System replied in an annoyed and sarcastic voice.
Ignoring the system's words, Leon clenched his fist and smirked, he felt as if he was in a warm refreshing pool. The feeling of being engulfed by Souls is good and he loved it. Coupled with the feeling of energy and strength coursing through his body, Leon loves this feeling!
┏━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━┓
------------------------
Your stats have been boosted with
the strength of two average mundane
humans combined.
You have gained no skills, or ability from the souls.
--------------------------
┗━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━┛
Giving the system prompt a subtle glance, Leo frowned. 'But I merged with 21 souls right? How was it possible that I gain the strength of two humans only?'
[Don't be greedy, one human soul would give you about one-tenth more or less the strength of the human when he was alive, the same goes for souls you would call upon and merge with in the future]
Leon sighed, not knowing what to say.
He decided to check his stats and see what changes are in it.

Looking at his stats, Leon was smart to understand what was happening.
'The stats of an average human is 10 since I got the combined strength of two average humans, the boost to my stats was 20...all good'
[Check your other soul skill, it's not very useful though, but it can help you immensely by reducing the number of would you store]
Hearing the System words Leon got more inquisitive, so he summoned the next soul skill he received as a gift from the system.
Immediately after he summoned the prompt, a translucent-blue system panel appeared in front of him.
┏━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━┓
-------------------------
Soul Merge
Level 1
•─────⋅☾ Skill Description ☽⋅─────•
Use thy power as the Soul Mancer, Merge the souls of the Damned, and you would have a 1% chance to awaken an innate but dormant
talent from one of the souls.
You can't combine souls that are higher in rank than mundane souls with this skill, upgrade, or level-up skill to be able to merge an Alpha soul.
•─────⋅☾ Effects ☽⋅─────•
1) Merging Souls would combine the strength of all souls into one reducing their numbers.
2) As the skill is Level 1, you can only combine mundane souls.
3) Combining hundred mundane souls will give you an alpha soul.
4) You can only combine souls of the same species, mixing species would result in failure and destruction of the souls.
5) You would be able to see the stats of merged souls.

"Unmerge!" Leo commanded, and the souls merged unto him and responded to his words as though it was an order from the gods.
They immediately turned to specks of light that shot out of Leo's body to the space about two meters away from him, there the lights turn back to their human shape.
He felt uncomfortable after losing the feeling of the warm, refreshing, and powerful soul phantom over his body, but still, he was able to get used to it.
"Soul Merge!" Leon ordered, activating the skill.
Immediately after he said that the souls turned to specks of light that shot to the one standing remaining human soul-phantom, the phantom shape contorted for a while as all the twenty-one souls attempted to merge into one soul.
Second later, it was done.
Only Leon and a single red glowing phantom could be seen in the room.
'That's it? ' Leon frowned.
The phantom stood silently before Leon, looking at Leon with its emotionless white glowing eyes.
'System, I didn't get an innate skill... am I really that unlucky? ' Leo asked the system begrudgingly as he looked at the human soul phantom before him.
One thing was noticeable about the soul phantom... It was glowing brighter than the previously unmerged twenty-one souls.
'Well, I guess we are done here' Leon mused as he stored the Soul in his [Soul Prison] that's in his soul subspace, with just a thought. He decided to leave checking the Phantom's stat for later.
With this done, Leon went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
After brushing his teeth, he took his bath then he went and wore something nice. It was a Leather jacket, a white shirt, and Jeans, he combed his hair and looked at his handsome self in the mirror.
"I sure do look Handsome." He said with a sense of pride.
After this, he went to a locked iron safe by the corner of the room, where he locks his life savings.
Unlocking it with a small key, Leon looked at the money in it, it was just 1000$
"Worth 1000 Points only," he muttered in deep dissatisfaction.
Point [P] is the universal money for the whole world, dollar [$] is used in just some cities, not in every part of the world. Points are used mostly as bank money and online business, as it doesn't have their physical cash, while dollar can only be used for physical, when put into a bank account, it's converted to point.
Take note: 1$ === 1P
Still looking at the money, Leon muttered; "I saved to get enough money to try curing my heart disease, never thought I would use it for another thing.
Done looking at the money, Leon arranged it and placed it neatly in his wallet.
After this, he walked out of the room, to the sitting room of the dilapidated building where the gangsters of his gang, were watching a movie with an old-fashioned television.
