As Araki opened his system, a line of data appeared directly in his mind.

[Daily Routine Task: Served a customer has been completed. Gained 1000 experience points.]

[Daily Training Task: Slashed 1000 times has been completed. Gained 2000 experience points.]

[Main Quest: Take a position in the Gotei 13 of Seireitei.]

[Note: The amount of reward for the Main Quest depends on the rank of the position the host holds within the Gotei 13 of Seireitei.]

Araki calmly looked at the tasks displayed on the mission panel in his mind.

Except for the newly appeared Main Quest...

Araki had already successfully completed the two daily quests that the system refreshed on a regular basis.

To this, Araki's eyes were as still as a deep well, and he very skillfully used his thoughts to claim the quest rewards for the two completed daily quests. In an instant, the daily quest panel in Araki's mind, which was emitting a blue light, turned gray.

"Character Attribute Template, open."

After successfully claiming the experience gained from completing the daily quests, Araki immediately switched his system's routine task template to his personal character attribute template.

Araki opened his personal status panel and, looking at the long string of numbers in his experience column, gradually fell into thought. That long string of numbers had ten digits, meaning a full billion experience points! Who knew how many years Araki had spent accumulating so much experience?!

Without any preamble, Araki directly located the Spiritual Pressure section on his character panel and mentally clicked the (+) next to his Third-Rank Spiritual Might.

"System, give me some points!"

As Araki allocated his points, the ten-digit experience value on his character panel instantly dropped to 1890, and Araki's Spiritual Pressure successfully reached Second-Rank Spiritual Might.

Yes, although every level-up of his abilities on the system brought him immense power, the experience cost was also extremely exaggerated.

The experience required for each level-up was ten times the experience required for the previous level-up!

After Araki spent 10 experience points to unlock his Spiritual Pressure and gain the innate Tenth-Rank Spiritual Might, he had spent over a hundred million experience points to bring his Spiritual Pressure to Third-Rank Spiritual Might, which was the level of a standard Captain-level Soul Reaper's Spiritual Pressure in later generations.

After that, Araki had been relying on his daily accumulation of three thousand experience points until today, when he finally accumulated a billion experience points, raising his Spiritual Pressure to Second-Rank and activating the system's main quest.

According to the standards of the First Generation Gotei 13 in the Soul Society, Araki's current Spiritual Pressure had officially entered the realm of Captain-level Soul Reapers...

Yes, compared to later generations, where someone whose Spiritual Pressure barely reached Third-Rank Spiritual Might was appointed Captain by the Soul Society, becoming a unit of combat power measurement, and who preferred not to reveal his name, Kensei Muguruma, the First Generation Gotei 13 had stricter requirements for Captains, and the Captains were also more powerful!

After all, this was the First Generation Gotei 13, a group of killers! Every Captain of the First Generation Gotei 13 had fought their way to the top through countless battles, bathing in blood! They were completely different from the hothouse flowers cultivated in the Shino Academy in later generations~

As his Spiritual Might finally reached the Second-Rank level! Araki felt a surge of emotion.

"How many years has it been?! My Spiritual Pressure has finally reached Second-Rank..."

Araki himself could no longer remember how many years he had been transmigrated to this world.

He only remembered that he was playing a "One Piece" themed, open-world, hot-blooded game. After two and a half days of intense gaming, he closed his eyes, opened them again, and then opened them once more... he had traveled from his warm bedroom to this remote Rukongai District!

At first, Araki didn't take it seriously...

After all, it wasn't just him who had transmigrated. He had also brought with him the powerful character data he had painstakingly built with a lot of money and time in that "One Piece" themed game!

Super Swordsmanship that has been elevated to the level of a max-level great swordsman. Powerful Physical Prowess with complete mastery of the Six Powers. Super Recovery Ability that allows one to recover completely through good habits, even after suffering a fatal injury. A max-level body that doesn't show the slightest fatigue even after fighting for three days and three nights. Three Types of Haki, all at the highest level. On top of that, a powerful and Awakened state Ope Ope no Mi...

These powers, inherent to Araki's cheat-like abilities, gave him the confidence to survive. He was confident he could thrive in a certain 'Unknown' Different World.

To Araki, who was still in his Chuunibyou phase at the time, this was simply an opportunity granted by the heavens, allowing him to recreate the 'Overlord' in another world! It was time to see him use his max-level character and powerful special abilities to Slaughter All Sides in this unknown world!

Even if Araki were to transmigrate to a world as dangerous as 'One Piece', he was confident that as long as he didn't provoke top-tier existences like 'Admirals' or 'Emperors', nor those damned Celestial Dragons, and wasn't discovered by the cunning Imu, leading to him being pursued by the Holy Knights with unknown power, or bombed by the Mother Seed, he could live out his life safely!

Then, Araki saw a being wearing a jet-black kimono called 'Shinigami Robes', with a samurai sword called 'Zanpakuto' at his waist, a 'Soul Reaper', slowly walk past him! At this, Araki's heart collapsed. He knew he was probably as dead as he could possibly be, and now only his soul likely remained~

However, the good news was that Araki wouldn't have to go to the Underworld to chat with the Judge, lament his past grievances before King Yama, then drink a bowl of Meng Po Soup and 'Reincarnate'! The bad news was that the chance to reincarnate was gone, as he was directly sent to the Soul Society.

At that moment, Araki had only one thought: "Damn it! This isn't One Piece, this is the world of Bleach!"

Yes, although Araki didn't understand why he, who was playing an open-world game with a 'One Piece' theme in his previous life, would end up transmigrating to the world of 'Bleach', he knew that whether he understood it or not was irrelevant!

The fact was that he had transmigrated, and into a manga he had read in his previous life. That manga was called 'Bleach', also known as 'Bleach/Bleach'...

As Araki gradually calmed down and confirmed that the world he had transmigrated to was not 'One Piece' but the world of 'Bleach', his enthusiasm immediately diminished significantly...

After all, the world of 'Bleach', especially the Soul Society where Araki was located, was far more dangerous than the world of 'One Piece'!

To be honest, if Araki had truly transmigrated to the world of 'One Piece', he could have easily escaped to the East Blue, a symbol of peace among the Four Seas, and lived out his life there peacefully! After all, the strongest pirate there was merely Krieg...

However, Araki, who had directly transmigrated to the Soul Society, seemed to have no other option but to become a Soul Reaper... As for the 'heaven-defying' abilities of the various villains Araki would have to face after becoming a Soul Reaper, they were simply unreasonably powerful!

First, let's not even mention the ultimate and strongest BOSS of the 'Bleach' manga, 'The great Son of the Soul King', 'The Progenitor of the Quincy', Yhwach, with his unreasonable 'The Almighty' that could 'Change the Future'...

Just considering the minor bosses under Yhwach, like 'The Balance', 'The Compulsory', 'The X-Axis', 'The Deathdealing', 'The Miracle', and other flashy abilities, Araki didn't know how he would deal with them.

Thus, Araki, still in a state of confusion after just transmigrating, wandered through the Soul Society while contemplating his future. After spending several years making a name for himself in the Soul Society, he inadvertently joined a Swordsmanship Dojo called Genji School and became a disciple of its Headmaster...

That was perhaps the most painful experience for Araki since arriving in this world, as his teacher was terrifyingly strict with his disciples~

However, the results were indeed gratifying! Perhaps because Araki had a foundation in swordsmanship from the world of pirates, he learned the swordsmanship of the Bleach world very quickly~ In just a few decades, Araki had learned all of his teacher's swordsmanship!

And at what would now be called the 'graduation ceremony', he carved a crescent-shaped scar on the head of his master, the Headmaster of Genji School, whose hairline was severely receding and who was clearly destined to be bald in the future...

At the same time, he received the Menkyo Kaiden for the 'Genryu' swordsmanship from his cheap master. The moment Araki received the Menkyo Kaiden, his game panel, which had been fixed by unknown factors, finally updated.

From then on, Araki's game panel changed from the 'One Piece' world panel to the current Character Panel, which integrated the characteristics of the 'Bleach' world. What surprised Araki even more was that his body seemed to possess the potential for 'Fullbring' abilities in addition to Soul Reaper abilities...

In fact, Araki had conducted a certain 'in-depth' study of the 'Bleach' manga.

After the main story of the manga concluded, he had also browsed the official sequel novel, "Can't Fear Your Own World," also known as "Bleach: Five Great Noble Clans Arc," on Bilibili. At the same time, Araki had also watched many explanations of the 'Bleach' manga and side story novels by Uploaders on Bilibili.

Therefore, Araki knew that the ability of Fullbring was not as simple as the minor BOSS Ginjo Kugo explained to the protagonist Ichigo in the anime's Fullbring arc!

In fact, the ability of Fullbring was not brought about by Hollows. It was the power derived from the Body Fragments of the Soul King, who supported the Three Worlds. Therefore, every Fullbring user's abilities had immense potential.

Therefore, in Araki's view, the fact that his body carried the 'Fullbring' ability was definitely good news!

At the same time, top-tier Fullbring abilities are exceptionally powerful! According to someone who refuses to reveal their name and wants to stand in the heavens every day, the power of some Fullbring abilities can even invade the domain where 'Gods' reside.

Among them, Orihime Inoue, one of the protagonists of the manga "Soul Reaper," her Fullbring Soten Kisshun, and Shukuro Tsukishima's Fullbring Book of End, are outstanding examples of Fullbring abilities.

For Araki, if he could directly awaken a Fullbring like Soten Kisshun or Book of End, which is powerful enough to interfere with certain phenomena, that would naturally be the best outcome, as it would give him stronger life-saving capabilities.

With this in mind, Araki, filled with excitement, opened the information about Fullbring abilities in his system...

Fullbring: Ever-Blooming Flower (Unawakened)

Ability: Binds the life of the user and those who deeply love them. As long as one party remains alive in the world, the other will not die. Furthermore, any form of attack on either party can be recovered by consuming Spiritual Pressure. Before both parties' Spiritual Pressure is depleted, no attack can take the life of either party.

When Araki saw the ability of his Fullbring 'Ever-Blooming Flower,' he had a general idea of his ability's strength.

"Divine skill! Although this ability has no offensive power, it is definitely a life-saving divine skill!"

"It's practically a combination of the abilities of Gyutaro and Daki, the Upper Rank Six from 'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,' and the Bankai Fushi no Kojyo of the Ninth Division Lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi from later generations..."

"And according to this ability, as long as one of the linked parties' Spiritual Pressure is not depleted, all damage taken by both parties can be recovered. And the ability only disappears when both linked parties die..."

"This means that the stronger the Spiritual Pressure of the target I choose to link with, the harder they are to kill, which is more beneficial to me~"

Araki rejoiced after examining the effects of his Fullbring ability.

Although it was not as powerful or versatile as 'Book of End' or 'Soten Kisshun' in terms of practicality and playability.

In terms of survival, it was absolutely the most powerful Fullbring ability Araki knew of, bar none!

"Let me see the conditions for awakening the 'Fullbring' ability."

Araki thought this and clicked on the awakening conditions for the ability.

The awakening conditions for Fullbring abilities are bizarre and varied. Araki only hoped that his Fullbring's awakening method wouldn't be too peculiar.

[Ability Activation Condition: Affection level towards the ability user must be above eighty, and the ability user must be loved.]

Araki was slightly taken aback when he saw the awakening condition for his Fullbring. Most people's Fullbring awakening conditions involved some kind of item, while Araki's activation condition was a person?!

Can a person also be a condition for activating a Fullbring?

So, as an LSP, Araki was finally discovered by the Fullbring ability?

No, to be precise, Araki could fool others and even himself, but he could never fool his pure heart. But that didn't matter. In Araki's opinion, as long as his Fullbring could awaken and be used, that was all that mattered! He, Araki, was completely a 'Strength-focused Player'~

"Moreover, the ability doesn't state that it can only bind with one person. In other words, if I 'play' well, I might be able to bind with multiple people..."

"Isn't this ability making me a scumbag?! Damn it! Am I that kind of person? I'm a decent person!"

Araki gazed at his ability, lost in thought. He always felt his ability had the potential to turn him into a scumbag.

In reality, he was incredibly pure and upright, cough cough...

Besides that, Araki looked at the notes for his ability.

[Notes: Ever-Blooming Flower, will gain ability corrections based on the Spiritual Pressure of the first person to bind with it! The higher the Spiritual Pressure of the first bound person, the higher the level of the Fullbring's inherent skill, Reishi Manipulation!]

As if to respond to Araki's thoughts, the moment he began to ponder whether his Fullbring ability, Ever-Blooming Flower, could bind with multiple people, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"So that's how it is. Meaning, the stronger the first person I bind with, the stronger the power I'll obtain!"

"Going by that logic, if my Fullbring ability 'Ever-Blooming Flower' binds with the strongest woman in the Soul Society, wouldn't I be invincible?!"

"Got it. I'll go marry Unohana Retsu first!"

Araki raised an eyebrow.

After Araki figured out his Fullbring ability, a firm idea took root in his heart.

The first thing to do after transmigrating: marry Unohana Retsu!
