Land of the Early sun

"Finally, I'm here, ready to grasp hold of my Will's power! And I hear this place is all military-guarded. Whoa!" Soul exclaimed.

"2 AM and it's bright as day? Man, this place is a total maze," Soul muttered.

"Hey there, pardon me, sir. You got any clue about where they hid the secrets of Will?" Soul inquired, stopping a passerby.

"4000 years back in time, way before the Forbidden Will existence? Come on, you gotta be pulling my leg!"

Forbidden Will. Soul muttered as he gazed into the distance, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Hey there, Mr. Soul," a voice suddenly echoed from behind him.

Startled, he glanced around, finding no one in sight.

"You're on the wrong path, Mr. Soul. A rookie like you is but a speck in the grand scheme. Willpower is reserved for the chosen, not someone like you," the voice taunted.

Soul's frustration boiled over. "Enough! Who are you? I'm here to uncover secrets, and no force will stand in my way."

"Can you even defeat an average soldier? And you seek for the power of will?" the voice continued to mock.

Fury surged within Soul. "Reveal yourself, you coward! If a fight is what you want, you'll get it."

Suddenly, the enigmatic figure materialized behind Soul.

"Listen, kid. I'm not here for a brawl. A storm is brewing in the Military's ranks. Deal with them first, and if fate allows, you may come looking for me."

Soul whirled around, attempting to land a punch, yet the figure vanished once more.

"Come out and face me like a true man! Stop slinking in the shadows," Soul shouted into the wind. "And why is the Military after me? I haven't wronged anyone!"

"Daydreaming, are we? Talking to yourself like a lunatic," a passerby chimed in with a chuckle. "No one's here, kid. Are you out of your mind?"

What! He was here just a second ago. He's gone now. What kind of he was have. Was he using his will power. Am actually day-dreaming. But its 2 am. Oh my god. Soul lost in his thoughts.

"Enough of this inner turmoil," Soul thought to himself, determined to refocus on his goal.

Suddenly, a commanding military officer barked, "There he is! Capture him, and I'll secure that promotion."

A swarm of military soldiers surged forward, closing in on Soul.

As he sprinted away, Soul's mind raced. "I haven't committed any wrongdoing. Why on earth is the entire military chasing me?"

Doubts tugged at his thoughts, but a memory ignited his resolve. "Can you even defeat an average soldier? And you seek for the power of will?", "Willpower is reserved for the chosen, not someone like you", echoed in Soul's mind.

Halting in his tracks, he considered, "Running won't solve anything. It's time to stand my ground, to show that doubter what I can truly achieve."
