------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been a month since I absorbed the six-eyed raven during my testing of the spell I was supposed to use with Tiamut, so far, no side effects had come to light, beyond getting the creature's power, and memories, I remained the same.

It basically felt like I had watched a movie, one that had stuck with me, a movie about the creature, but nothing else.

I felt normal.

Stronger, but normal.

So my conclusion so far was, that the spell was safe to use, granted, I had yet to absorb anything else, and chances were the many could prove to be a problem to my individuality.

But enough about that, time to eat some tasty corn.

"How is every going so far?" Cagliostro asked, walking into the room. It had been over a month since we last talked, our conversation ending with him leaving the room without a word, making me think he was offended or disappointed in the path I had taken, I wonder what brought him here.

"Good," I replied with a quick nod, my eyes never leaving the book I was reading.

"I see you already absorbed a magical beast into you," Cagliostro commented, his lips forming a small smile boarding the line of amusement.

"I did," I nodded, closing my book to look at him.

"So, any side effects?" He asked, taking a seat on the floor.

"None so far," I shook my head.

"What did you absorb?" He asked.

"A six-eyed raven, not sure how unique the creature was, but it was a good first try," I shrugged.

"So… is that pile of corn behind you a side effect, or just your everyday lunch?" Cagliostro asked, hiding a small smirk under his hand.

I blinked, turning to look at the pile of corn I had eaten before replying,. "What that is, or not, it's inconsequential," I replied, wondering if the cosmic raven I had consumed had given me a taste for corn now.

"The spell will change you, no matter what," Cagliostro chuckled, "It won't be a big change, but it will be big enough to be noticeable. Remember, you are making someone's life yours, and that includes everything that makes them, them, therefore, small details from them, will remain, be it their love for corn," he pointed at the corn behind me, "Or their taste in music."

"So I could turn into a monster if I consume more?" If that was the case, this spell was a terrible idea to use.

Cagliostro shook his head, "No, that won't happen, the changes… only change things if you are open to those things, meaning, you can only turn into a monster if you are a monster already."

I mused at that for a brief moment, thinking over the implications before asking, "So it only gives me traits I'm willing to embrace?" 

"Yes, and no," Cagliostro chuckled, his eyes looking into mine, "It gives you traits you wouldn't abhor, for example, the corn, is the corn bad? Do you hate it? Would you hate someone for consuming it?"

I shook my head.

"Exactly," Cagliostro smiled.

This was confusing. 

"Don't frown though, eventually those traits will disappear if you yourself don't attach to them," Cagliostro added with a small sigh, "Depending on who you absorb, the traits will go away in a month or two, with a Celestial I suppose the traits would last more, no idea though, as is never been tried before."

"So they only remain if I… embrace them," I hummed, that didn't sound so bad.

"Yes," Cagliostro nodded, "Only for your case… your body… is symmetrically dangerous, anything that breaks that symmetry will eventually be purged unless you make it part of your symmetry."

"Cool then," I smiled.

—--------------------------------------

For the next few days, I started to absorb other creatures to master the spell, my goal? Leveling the skill to a level high enough to ensure complete success with the Celestial mission.

So far, I had absorbed many magical creatures, a werewolf, a vampire, a werefox, a werecrow, that one was unexpected, a wereraven, that one not so much after the werecrow, a cat with untold demonic powers, a dog with wings, a hentai actor… I mean, a tentacle monster, and a few extra ravens like the first one.

Each creature was strong enough to give me a few levels, which made leveling… absurdly easy, but full of guilt.

I mean, I was killing them, and that didn't make me feel exactly proud of the power I was obtaining.

That was until I found out, that all of them were evil, especially the cat. His memories made me throw up, such evil, within such a cute package.

After my battle in the Beyonder games, my level had ended around 460, then I reached the roots of Yggdrasil, and my level increased a lot, the highest boost in level I had ever gotten, leaving my level around 670, roughly around fifty levels below Thor, now, since I started eating other creatures, well, I had leveled up one hundred and twenty-eight times.

This shit was broken.

Which makes me wonder.

Can I eat creatures from my dungeons?

Can I absorb them, and gain their power, or would I only get the EXP they are intended to give?

[The Ancient One POV]

It has been five minutes since Alex left on his journey to find the secrets of Cagliostro.

Alice remained hidden, I had thought Alex's disappearance would bring her out of her hiding place, which would've made our job to eliminate her remarkably easy, but sadly, she remained in the shadows, making our job, harder than it had to be.

She had to know it was inevitable for her to fail, but then again, logic and madness rarely meet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the end of the month, when the cold of winter had started to permeate the area, I had finally with total certainty learned the spell I had come to learn in the Library of Cagliostro, not only, but I had also copied every book in the library, storing each copy in my inventory.

All that was left to do, was go back to my time, there was nothing left for me here.

"You're leaving?" Cagliostro asked, his voice quiet.

I nodded with a broad grin on my face as I turned to look at him, "Your knowledge has been most helpful," without all of this, I wasn't sure how I would've dealt with Alice.

I had acquired power I didn't expect to acquire, all and all, this venture had been most successful, in more than one account.

Cagliostro nodded, offering the faintest of smiles, "I hope you save your time, Sorcerer."

"Of that, there's no doubt," I replied, my voice flat and rough. Alice had dug her hole, and now she would reap what she had sown, whatever sense of familiarity I felt for her was inconsequential, irrelevant, my priority was to keep my daughters safe, from anything.

—----------------------------

I opened a rift back to my time using the time stone as a conductor for the flow, appearing once again in my office, the clock on the wall showed I had been missing for an hour or so, meaning I hadn't been able to enter the same point in time I left.

"I need more training with this time-traveling business," I muttered, taking a seat on my desk, waiting for the Ancient One to appear.

As if on cue, a portal opened in the middle of my office, sparkling embers of orange tint magic all over the place, as the Ancient One stepped into the room, "Alex." 

"Hi," I smiled.

"You have… changed," The Ancient One said, lips pressed together.

I smiled, realizing what she was thinking without much problem, "I'm the same, just a few new things, like a love for corn," I shrugged, giving her a half-hearted smile.

"I see," The Ancient One nodded, before extending her hand towards me, "Here," she smiled, opening her hand to reveal the Space Stone.

I chuckled, "Sure, not like I need the stone now anyway," I grabbed the stone and grinned at her, "I have a gift for you, a very good one."

"Mr. Walker," The Ancient sighed, giving me a quizzical smile, "What will Sif think? You come back from the depths of time and space, and you bring me something without bringing her anything?"

I laughed, "It's cool, there wasn't anything for her, where I was anyway." With a snap of my fingers, I pulled one of the books I had copied from the library out of my inventory in a blue flash of light and gave it to her.

"The lost books," The Ancient One muttered, a dimpled smile forming on her face, "You brought one of the books back with you! But… what about the paradoxes, will us having this be safe?"

I grinned, "I copied the book, the real one is still lost," I winked.

The Ancient One beamed at me, grabbing the book like it was the best thing she had ever seen, now it was time to knock her out.

"So… where do you want the rest?" I asked.

She blinked, seeming to think over what I had just said for a few long seconds before she unintelligibly muttered, "Others?"

"I copied every single book in the library," I shrugged, I knew I was awesome, why even try to hide it?

"I…"   

I chuckled, she was truly at a loss for words, "Look, how about this… you tell me where you want them later, is that okay?"

"I must apologize, I lost my composure for a moment," The Ancient One smiled, "As for where I want them, well… nowhere, for now, as much as this knowledge is… the dream of many sorcerers, I can't trust anyone with it, beyond ourselves that is… this might be one of those things only our group can access."

I see, for a moment there I had forgotten these books had the knowledge to give people power beyond their dreams, even the weakest sorcerer could in time become a threat absorbing other creatures, she was right, this was knowledge best kept between us.

"I agree," I nodded.

"Good, now… let's focus on the matter at hand," The Ancient One nodded, her eyes staring into mine.

"Consuming the Celestial, right?" I nodded.

"Yes," The Ancient One replied, before sighing, "Alice is still nowhere to be seen, so it's best if we do this as quickly as possible."

"Well, before we begin, we need to find the nexus, absorbing Tiamut from any other place would be a hassle," Something as big and as powerful as Tiamut was bound to have a massive soul, so the closer I was to the center of that, the easier it would be to assimilate.

"Way ahead of you, I assume you would need such, and with the help of Thor, I had found the Nexus of Tiamut, though… as of now, it is heavily guarded by the remaining Eternals, as they call themselves," The Ancient One replied.

"Well, quite frankly, dealing with them won't even be a problem," I shrugged, "Alice was able to overpower them, so they won't delay me at all."

"True, but it is never wrong to be extra careful," The Ancient One nodded.

"So, let's go?" I offered.

"Yes, let's," The Ancient One nodded, as with a smile she opened a portal to the Nexus.

A lot of things would change soon, a lot of stuff would never be the same. Of all things I thought I was going to do in this world, eating a Celestial was not one of them, quite frankly life has not been what I expected since my arrival here.

But, I was happy, and today, I would kill for that happiness.
