As he was below the gaze of the three Outer Ones, Vd started to experierange halluations; memories of his childhood as a vampire began to appear oer another. It was like mini-cutses mixed together; Paul couldn’t really make any sense of this, and it was making him feel dizzy, almost with nausea.
The three entities g him; their gazes s that it felt like Vd’s very soul was beginning to be eroded. The Evil God of Gluttony and the Goddess of the Crimson Moon g the vampire fall to his knees, screaming in pain as he grabbed his head.
[The {Goddess of the Crimson Moon} panics! She says that you should be able to return to your body already!]
[The {Evil God of Hunger and Excess} says that’s impossible; these three visitors have takehe temporary Mind Realm.]
“Uuugghh…! Why is my head spinning so much… Dammit, I’m going to puke…!”
Paul was feeling terribly dizzy. He did remember that the game had a lot of warnings before pying it, so many that it had like ten pages worth of them, but he didn’t care and accepted them all.
These memories of Vd began to fall apart, burning, being ed by shadows, and theing away into green acid.
stantly, images of burning corpses appeared within his mind, then of death, rotting corpses, and stly of disgusting ooze, slime, aacles opening their jaws aing him.
“Uuuaaaggghh!”
[Warning! You have been inflicted with the [Mind Erosion] Status Effect!]
[If this tinues, your character might begin to grow weaker; both stats, soul, and skills might be permaly lost over time.]
“Log out! Log out!”
Paul tried to just log out; this was getting ridiculous…
However.
[Do you wish to forcefully log out?]
[Progress sht be lost.]
“Wait, what? My progress will be lost? No way…!”
Paul hesitated for a bit in that moment, thinking that maybe it was better to sit down and watch this horrendous event until it ended.
The entities in front of him drew closer. The emerald ooze exteentacles towards Vd, trying to touch him.
The fmes tried to around him and burn him, and the shadow clouds rapidly started swirling around his body, attempting to grab his soul.
Were they trying to kill his character right now?
Then perhaps just losing all his progress might as well be the same thing in the end!
[The {Unending Crimson} also wants to give you their sponsorship!]
[To accept, please bathe in his fmes a your mind and soul be baptized by them.]
[The {Desecrated Shadow King} is ied in the endless curses you carry within you.]
[He wants to see your soul be ed by his darkness. Accept him by allowing his curses to e you.]
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} smiles, finding you adorable, and wants to give you her blessings.]
[To accept them, she wants to hug you very tightly a you melt away within her body, being oh her.]
They offered ultimate power, but all of them also asked for an ultimate sacrifice: to destroy everything that made him and to be remade with their fmes, curses, or acid.
It was too stupid and ridiculous! Wouldn’t the character Vd pletely be erased by then? Paul also knows that the personality of an avatar affects character iions and even how his words e out when he speaks with others.
As of now, his personality and Vd’s have been very in synch, to the point where they were even able to fully synize to gain tremendous dexterity and abilities.
But if this happened, Vd would bee a broken shell, and it would be hard to vey his iions through a broken mind.
“You’re all insane! You’re worse than the evil gods! Let me go!” Vd protested. “Dammit!”
As he unleashed his anger, suddenly his Aura grew stronger, rapidly spreading shadows and blood-red liquid everywhere, shaping into tless jaws.
Then, from within that initial wave that didn’t even affect the Outer Ones, something else emerged.
“What’s with this ruckus?! Why are y so goddamn much, my reination?!”
FLASH!
A bright golden light erupted from Vd’s body, his mind rapidly opening to reveal the sedary being within his soul.
The entire Mind Realm suddenly shook tremendously, cracks appearing around Vd as his eyes widened.
Then, as the sea of golden light, Ki itself, spread out everywhere, the three Outer Ones began to be slightly pushed back!
And the two ods that tried to stay and do something were pletely and utterly…
Startled!
[The {Goddess of the Crimson Moon} is shaken to sense another Divinity!]
[The {Evil God of Hunger and Excess} doesn’t know what’s happening anymore.]
“Y-You’re…?!”
Vd g the figure on his back, while the three Outer Ones quickly gathered together to g the entity that had emerged.
And they seemed pleased.
Their prey had suddenly bee even more iing!
“Who else than me, my foolish reination?”
The man behind Vd was tall, much taller than the vampire prince, easily reag two meters i.
He wore a ese clothes of red and bck color, adorned by silver and bck metal armor over his body.
He had long, silky bck hair, waving behind his back like a mighty sea of darkness.
His crimson eyes pierced through his soul as his prideful, handsome, and Asian face smiled.
“What’s gotten into you?! Startled by my handsome face? This is what your previous life looked like—foolish reination! Vask in my glorious appearahis Mind Realm has allowed my maion! Hahahah!”
It was nobody else than Murim’s Heavenly Demon, Vd’s previous life!
The golden aura around him quickly mixed with the darkness and blood-red energies, f his true ki.
Ki by itself was gold-colored, but once corrupted through the powers of the Heavenly Demon, it took the shape of his real Ki Aura.
Bd red, this was his Demonierable Ki!
FLUOSH!
It surged like a gigantic force, destroying his surroundings and ing them pletely. The Outer Ones could see how part of the territory within the Mind Realm they were eroding recovered, slightly amused by this!
[The {Unending Crimson} is fasated by this show! They wonder if this is the in of your mysterious powers.]
[The {Desecrated Shadow King} admires the purity of your previous life’s darkness; the curses and shadows that linger within that man’s past are exquisite and magnifit.]
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} screams out of furor! She ot believe how handsome your previous ination was! Her tentacles swirl around; she wants to lick every part of his body!]
“Disgusting aberrations from the outer os, do you think you do anything to my reination, fools?! He is me, and I am him! If you mess with him, you mess with me!” the Heavenly Demon roared. “BEGONE FROM MY SIGHT, MISSHAPEN ABOMINATIONS!”
RUMBLE!
With his very words, the Mind Realm tinued rec, his Ki spreading everywhere, transf the entire pce, and pushing the Outer Ones far, far away!
He wasn’t directly fighting them; he was simply pushing them away from the Mind Realm.
Even the Heavenly Demohat these were beings he could not touch…
Or could he?
[The {Unending Crimson} ughs! They say they are not giving up on you!]
The fmes and crystals of the Unending Crimson gathered together into tless burning hands, rushing towards Vd.
[The {Desecrated Shadow King} accepts the challenge.]
The shadows and curses of the Desecrated Shadow King gathered into enormous swords, spears, axes, and other ons, attag Vd.
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} screams iasy, saying to not leave her out of the fun!]
The endless emerald-colored ooze and slime of the Maiden of the Emerald Sea gathered together into thousands of tentacles, moving towards Vd.
“T-They’re still going at it?!”
As Vd was shocked, the Venerable of Murim’s Demonic Failed at him.
“Have I not taught you a sihing, my reination?” the Heavenly Demon asked. “In this world, or in any other, if you don’t show others what you’re truly capable of… They will to use you for their own selfish goals! Show them that you’re not a weakling, that you’re not a dog they grab and tame, and that you’re not a fish they catd eat… You’re a tiger, and you’re the ohat hunts them down!”
FLUOSH!
Suddenly, the Mind Realm gathered around the Heavenly Demon as he harnessed his Ki and fused with the Mind Realm itself, f a gigantic sphere of darkness and light.
The other two gods, gng at this, were left fbbergasted.
[The {Goddess of the Crimson Moon} is speechless!]
[The {Evil God of Hunger and Excess} ughs in disbelief.]
“You’re…! What are you doing?! If you use the Mind Realm like this, the space between those things and us has only shortened!”
Vd didn’t know what the hell the Heavenly Demon was doing.
“Watd learn, you imperti brat!” The Heavenly Demon gathered his energies and then released them with a single fist moving upwards.
“{Heavenly Demon Arts}: {Heaven-Defying Fist}”
A gigantic golden, bck, and red fist materialized out of thin air, pushing towards the attacks of three Outer O the same time.
“It’s not going to work; they’re too powerful!”
“Sit down and watch, mongrel!”
As their fists collided with their attacks, the impossible happened.
BOOOMMM!!!
An explosion, a tremendous shockwave of pure martial prowess, erupted, ing and disiing the mind attacks of the Outer Ones.
At the same time, their maions could not hold themselves anymore, disappeariirely, alongside the Mind Realm, which quickly started fragmenting into pieces.
“T-That was…”
Vd g the blinding light above the skies, resembling a setting sun as it slowly lost its luster.
“One day, you will be able to use that teique too,” the Heavenly Demon smiled. “But for now, if you chose such a Subcss… The me give you some sponsorship, my foolish reination.”
The Heavenly Demon’s hand touched Vd’s chest, imbuing into him a fragment of his previous life’s divine powers and bining it with his chosen Subcss.
FLASH!
And then, blinding white light engulfed him pletely, until he finally woke up.
“Aaahhh!”
As Vd screamed, Chris and Camil ran towards him, worried.
“Paul?! You ok?” Chris asked.
“Y-Yeah…” Paul sighed.
“Big brother! What happened?!” Camil panicked.
“N-Nothing; everything is fine,” sighed Vd. “It was just a terrible experieogether; I hope this doesn’t happeime we Rank Up Css or Subcss…”

“So her blessing is like a Trait, huh? That’s iing.”
Vd felt a surge of power ing from his body, a e to the crimson moon itself. His body overflowed with crimson moonlight, a new power simir to light, yet without its holy powers.
“This is pretty unique…”
However, that was just the beginning.
Ding!
