[Wake up, Sunless! Your nightmare is over....again.]
'Huh,seem like spell knows that I am from futur-past?whatever".
Sunny found himself in a space between dream and reality. It was an endless black void illuminated by a myriad of stars. Between those stars, countless strings of silver light were woven into a beautiful and inconceivably complex net, forming various nexuses and constellations.
This is spell's inner work.Sunny shook his head and wait for rewards.
The Spell was still appraising his performance. However, the first reward had nothing to do with it.
[You have received a Memory: Puppeteer's Shroud]
'Hmmm,will I get only same memories?Or will I get different memories and also more memories in future?'He pondered.
Then spell finally finished his appraisal.
[Aspirant! Your trial is over.]
[A nameless slave ascended the-.Spell stopped, it string tremble,for a split second.
'Did-d spell having problems,because I already done this?And because I came from the future,this makes me an error?'Sunny thought.
After few seconds, spell again started speaking.
[A treacherous divine shadow descended upon River of Time. After thousands of years of suffering, he still didn't break. Wanting to be his master equal, not slave. Trying to go against the very nature of a shadow. He enter in the estuary and learns the secrets of the gods and daemons. There he met The Vile Thieving Bird, who was hated by both gods and unknown stole his fate, but he survived, and became free. Defying the very nature of a shadow. Favour by the Spell, he went back in time and ascended the Black Mountain. He entered the ruined temple of a long-forgotten god and spilled his blood on the sacred altar once again. The gods were dead, and yet they listened.]
[You have defeated a dormant beast: Mountain King's Larva.]
[You have defeated three dormant humans, names unknown.]
[You have defeated an awakened human: Auro of the Nine.]
[You have defeated an awakened tyrant: Mountain King.]
[You have received the Shadow God's blessing.]
[You have achieved the impossible!
[Final appraisal: Divine!Your treachery surpassed time, space, death and fate itself!]
Sunny gulped.He has expected to have a higher appraisal, but this? This is just too much.
'Seem like I am quite a treacherous person,huh.'
Even tho he didn't like being called treacherous,but, he can't help but proud of it little bit.
[Dreamer Sunless, receive your boon!]
[You have been bestowed a True Name: Lost from Light.]
He has expected to have same true name.
Became a True Name define a person's fate.Because of [Unseen from Fate],fate still think that [Lost from Light], is still his fate.That's why it didn't change his True Name.
[Your Aspect is ready to evolve. Evolve Aspect?]
Now, the moment of truth.
He takes a heavy breath."Yes".
[Dormant Aspect Temple Slave is evolving...]
'Please be different, please be different.'
Even tho he knows that Nephis won't use a Shadow bond against him, he still don't want to be a slave. Just thinking about someone has full control over his body sent him chills.
[New Aspect acquired.]
[Aspect Rank: Divine.]
[Aspect Name:Dance of Light and Shadow]
He hurriedly checks the runes.
Aspect Description: [You are a rebellious shadow left behind by a dead god. You, who want to be his master, his light equal, not slave. However, you never managed to do that. But when you finally did it, you felt empty. You're a lonesome existence, yearning to return to his light. Yet, still don't want to be a slave.]
Innate Ability: [Unknown Bond]
Ability Description: [You're still a divine shadow. So, Your light have to own a True Name at least. Find your light and exchange True Names. Once you both recite it out loud, both of you and your light soul will be connected and able to see eachother location, and teleport to it. Because It is improper for a shadow, let alone a divine one, to walk around without being near his light]
Sunny let out a breath he didn't no he was holding. Relief wash over him.
'Finally....Finally!'
He never been happy this much in his life...Previous life.
He look upto the runes and smile,a genuine smile.
'I don't have to suffer anymore. I don't have to slave anymore!. Nephis also don't have to be extra careful with her words and unintentionally command me. We can have healthy and.... normal?relationship!
Sunny is too much happy currently, because he don't have to become anyone slave.
Plus he and Nephis will able to see eachother location, and teleport to it, if one of them in danger.
He don't know, if they can also augment eachother or sees eachother runes like shadow bond.
Well, they will figure it out later.
Spell began to speak again.
[The First Seal is broken.]
[Awakening dormant powers...]
Sunny felt something waking up inside of him.This doesn't feel like painful or unpleasant.
It feel like a power awaken inside of him.His eyes become sharper,his senses enhance.His body started to change.
But he felt like,his body change more than his previous life.
But not in the bad way tho.
His body now now more refined. More stronger, and better.
Not the level of an awaken of course.
'It is because, even tho I travel back in past, but some of my supreme quality travel with?'Sunny thought.
He is currently in his soul sea.
[Awakening Aspect Ability...]
'Please be same'
[Aspect Ability acquired.]
[Aspect Ability Name: Shadow Control.]
Sunny chuckled.
'Seem like those seven bastards are coming with me'
But it make sense.
Spell only unlock everyone's aspect.Because aspect and flaw is always sealed inside of them, from the birth.Spell only unlock them.
[All power has a price.]
[You have received a Flaw.]
[Your Flaw is:...]
Flaw: [Clear Conscience].
Flaw Description: [You cannot lie.]
He smile.
Not gonna lie, he really happy to have this flaw.
Because of this flaw,he able to tell the truth and build trust.Because of this he able to have trust worthy friends, who he can depend on.
He checked hi runes before going out.
Name: Sunless.
True Name: Lost from Light.
Rank: Dreamer. [Sealed rank:Supreme]
Shadow Core: Dormant.
Shadow Fragments: [12/1000].
'hmmm,so my rank is seal, instead of just disappearing. So, do I have some of my supreme quality? Like my will? Plus, how I gonna unlock it? Do I have to reach it first naturally?'
Sunny pondered.
With that he leave his soul sea.
