With still tired limbs you get up. Everything is still spinning inside you. After taking several deep breaths, your discomfort eases. "Ehm..." You notice that your counterpart had not introduced himself. However, your awkward beginning secured her attention. "Do you have any advice on how I can succeed?" Your irritation multiplies as you just realize you don't know what your goal is. So other than not ending up back in the Shadow Realm so soon.
The woman looks at you and shakes her head. "A puppy I say." She tosses you a bag. "Your goal...there is no clear goal... Maybe still that we send as many ascended back to their realm..." She puts a few things in her backpack. "So you don't get exposed so easily, you should work on your legend."
You laugh. "I'll become a legend in time." Whereupon she puts her hand in front of her face. "Your legend is your story. Your story doesn't make people suspicious and allows you access to them." She takes a deep breath. "You are currently a nobody. No one knows where you come from or what makes you tick. Because of that, people don't trust you as much, which makes it harder for you to get their soul power, and without it, you won't be able to make contracts or pass a fight against an ascended." She was about to leave, but you jump up and grabbed her by the arm. "Contracts?" Bursts out of you.
"Yes, contracts..." Your shoulder sags in disappointment. "With the magic of the Pact, a Fallen makes a contract with a human. If the Fallen does not fulfill his part, he is not only erased from Arid but devoured by the magic. The counterpart of the human is always himself. His appearance is received to send more favors to this world, while his transgressing soul gives rise to a new favorite in the Shadow Realm. So contracts are very important, stupidly not all people enter into them lightly. Also, you have to weigh whether the contract is worth it for you."
She freed herself from your grip and pressed a scroll in front of your chest. "For now, start your career in the Legion, this will give you a good foundation." Then she disappears from the tent again. You open the scroll. There is a picture of the structure and ranks of the Legion. You study the scroll and slowly settle in.
So currently you are a nobody. This is the name given to support troops who are still in training. After you prove yourself, or else 1 year you are promoted to a leg. The legs are the fighting support troops. After a test and the proposal by his superior, one can be promoted to a body. The body is the big mass and the backbone of the army. They are the heavily armored soldiers that make up the main body of each legion. The special forces of the legion, the elite fighters are the arms. They are feared and carry out only the most dangerous missions. {if Estrar = true}Rumors say that the Myriad Legion is made up only of arms from the rest of the legions.{endif}The arms have turned many a battle and secured victory for the legion. The head is the legion commander. He exists only once in each legion, unlike all other ranks.
