Tattooed 3

In a small, dirty and old house, a boy about 10-12 years old wearing rugged clothes was lying on the floor. He has skinny frame for his age with sky blue unkempt hair like that of a certain fox-child from a popular anime on Earth. His eyes are navy blue in color and when you look into it you can see in them a vast sky full of possibilities. He is the reincarnated gamer Mo Hardinger.

He has rope marks around his neck and bruised from face to toe.

"Ughh! f.u.c.k that s.h.i.+ts throwing me like that!" "Huh?" As Mo was slowly recovering from a slight headache, he looked around the decrepit house. Hanging above his head was a rope tied at the wood by the ceiling.

Mo guessed what happened to the owner of the body that he is currently using and sure enough, the boy commited suicide.

Mo has finally recovered and thought, "In novels the reincarnator can inherit the memories of the previous owner of the body right? Let's wait and see if there is something."

Mo sat up and closed his eyes expecting to receive the memories of the boy and prepared his self for the headache while receiving it like in other novels.

After an hour...

"Uhh, guess not? So no memories? What the h.e.l.l! How would I know anything about this world then? And here I thought I will have a gift? Where is it?! f.u.c.k!" Mo couldn't help but curse. He decided to stop and observe this new world.

Mo tried to move his body and surprisingly, other than the visible bruises, there seemed to be nothing wrong about his body.

While he was observing his body he spotted on his left arm an image of grinning mask with dark eyes and red pupils. It has two protruding teeth like of a certain blue karate fishman warrior on a popular anime on Earth.

"A tattoo?" Mo mumbled.

"Hey! hey! you there Mo?" a voice coming out of nowhere sounded.

"Holy s.h.i.+t!" Mo jumped in fright and looked around hastily.

"Wait! This feels familiar?" Mo thought.

"h.e.l.l yeah it is! We've done this a couple of minutes ago! Pu*sy!" The voice spoke with a chuckle.

"Joe?! Holy s.h.i.+t! I thought you're going to heaven after your soul dissipated?! Wait! Where are you?! How can I not see you?! And why can you read my mind?!" Mo spoke loudly with a hint of surprise.

"Uhh, one at a time! G.o.d d.a.m.n! How can I answer every questions you have if your mouth is like a machine gun?!" Joe said loudly.

And as if he remembered something, "And you are going to heaven! Your whole family is going to heaven! f.u.c.k!!" Joe added.

"Okay, I don't have much time cuz my voice will be the only thing remaining so let's do this fast" Joe said seriously.

"I am in your soul right now and in any minute my conciousness will dissipate and ascend to heaven only leaving my voice as your "newbie guide". This voice will be the voice of your "gaming system", there are only 3 functions of the gaming system, "Status" , "Tattoo" and "Combo". For now you can only use "Status" where you can see your current body status in numerical values like in the game. "Tattoo" lets you see the level and growth of your tattoo ability and "Combo", well this is your gift, unfortunately you can only use this after reaching "White brand 5th mark". Ohh by the way, there are 9 major tattoed levels or what is commonly known "brand" and in every brand level there are 5 minor levels called "mark".

Brand level:

Gray

White

Blue

Green

Golden

Blood

b.e.s.t.i.a.l

Demonic

Myth

Mark:

1st~5th Mark

The brand levels are divided into 3 realms. From Gray to Blue brand, people call them "Blessed Tattooed Warrior". From Green to Blood brand, people call them "Tattooed Kings" and from b.e.s.t.i.a.l to Demonic brand they are called "Tattooed Legends". They are the peak experts of the continent that you are in."

"Wait! What about the Myth brand?" Mo hastily asked.

"They are on a completely different realm and not one can be found on the continent that you are in, they are called "History of the Tattooed". You will understand in the near future why the realm was called like that. So stop asking questions that are far away from you." Joe answered impatiently.

"Let me continue. In every major brand level, you will have an option to get another tattoo or upgrade your innate tattoo, and by the way, your innate tattoo is that mask. Getting another tattoo is much easier than upgrading your innate one, you will understand that in the future." Joe continued.

"Beware though, getting a tattoo needs to be with someone with a job of "Artist" and the "Artist" needs to be 1 major brand level higher than you. A fake tattoo would be considered a huge crime and you will be pursued by soldiers, mercenaries, the kingdom and even the b.e.a.s.t.i.a.l race until kingdom come." Joe casually said.

"There are thousands of jobs in this world like the "Artist" and do not think that only you has a system! Because there are reincarnated "immortal" gamers here in the world that has unique systems and even locals can have systems of there own when reaching Blue brand albeit weaker with only the first 2 functions." Joe added."
