Soul Trainer

[Slardar]

"Do you require power?, eh?, boy..."

The followings of a mysterious stranger who bestows the strength to increase a characteristic of the ability the contracter wishes to increase. (Charisma, Strength, Speed, Endurance, Wisdom) The price of the contract is one's "soul". The souls in this novel are the keeping place of ones spirit, it is where they reside once dead, everything has a soul, but only Soul Trainers who make a contract can keep the soul after the death of the contractor and call them upon need. (soul's can be destroyed).

In the story, there is simply not Heaven and Hell, but a third flow of souls. The gray area inbetween the two places. That is where the Soul Trainers stay, that is also where the souls who die will stay until they are reborn. Stuck in an infinite cycle of rebirth being unable to do enough good or evil to be sent to either heaven or hell. Heaven and Hell have both agreed that the Soul Trainers prove to be a problem by them deciding the fate of these souls and making them powerful. The entire point of the contract is to boost the cycle to allow the contractor to go to either heaven or hell. Heaven has Guardian to stop "gray souls" whilst hell has Reaver.

Heaven has noble characteristics in their weapons (such as swords and lances, shields, etc.) Hell on the other hand uses wicked objects and unfair weapons. (Sickles, Reapers, Chain swords, knives, throwing knives, barbed swords, chains, claws, etc)

The condition for the contract can only be completed if the contractor is near death, in other words, about to be hunted down by Guardian or Reaver. The main character himself will be in this situation in the beginning of it, thus leading to his contract.

Once the contract has been fulfilled and the soul is now in the claim of the Soul Trainer, the contractors must now train until their death, if they lose the contract they lose their memory and powers. Essentially being hunted down and killed by Guardian/Reaver. Even if they have the contract they will still be hunted but will have a better chance at survival. Once they die and their soul belongs to the Soul Trainer, they can no longer become any powerful than the point at which they died.

Essentially the Contractors will not have any weapons, yet they will be strong enough to take on the Guardian/Reaver who have weapons. Eventually weapons may be added, I'm contemplating the idea.

This one is more of a dark manga, no happy happy ending. I like this idea the most out of all of them.
