I had surrendered to this feeling of tiredness by making my mind float in dark space. I felt like I'd been in this space before.
I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anything but my body shining faintly in this darkness.
- Where am I?
The last thing I remember was having sex with all three of my toys and after having sex with Olivia I fell asleep. This could be a lucid dream.
Lucid dreaming was a phenomenon that occurred very rarely in a person. When you dream, you often don't know that you are dreaming. Some remember those dreams while others forget about them completely. Lucid dreaming occurs when you know that you are inside a dream and you practically become omnipotent in the dream. There are people who simply never get to experience them in their entire lives.
I tried to change the landscape thinking of a beach, but nothing happened.
- This is not a lucid dream. Darren
A voice made me turn abruptly. My real name was mentioned leaving me perplexed. Behind me was a figure identical to mine.
- Let me introduce myself, I am Merlin Von Diluc. The original owner of your current body.
His words immediately pulled me out of the trance. This was complete madness. How could it be possible for this guy to still be alive?
- You're wrong about something, I'm already dead.
- Can you read my mind?
Merlin nodded without hesitation. Which caused me more questions than answers.
- What are you?
- I don't know. Maybe some remnant fragment of my soul. I read all your memories and based on them I created the theory that my soul merged with you.
- What do you mean?
- You should know it, but you refuse to admit it. The system opened a gap in this world for your soul to enter, during that process I died and you occupied my body. To maintain balance somehow our two souls must have merged in order for my body to accept you.
That theory made a lot of sense. Even within the game, only one class capable of manipulating souls and corpses called necromancers was known. Necromancers could create undead who could move on their own who were called death knights. These knights required a strong body and the original soul of the body. If one tried to enter an old soul, the body rejected it and ended up turning to ashes after a while.
- I assumed the same thing as you. Now I'm trapped inside my own body helplessly and all the control has been taken over by you. I used to be sleeping peacefully until something woke me up. Do you know what it is?
This guy was already getting on my nerves. In my recollections, he never acted as presumptuous as he does now. His abrupt change of personality may be due to the influence of my memories.
As for what he was saying, I didn't have the slightest idea. The only thing that came to mind was...
- The Dragon's Heart.
- Correct! When you ate that thing, I came back to life, so to speak. Even when I'm awake, I can't take control of my body, so you don't have to worry. I'm tied to you completely, and if you die, so do I.
Merlin's hands moved and a slightly bluish rope connected us.
- My entire soul was consumed by yours allowing you to obtain my memories and my current self is just a fragment of my old self equally linked to you.
- Stop the nonsense and tell me. Why did you bring me here?
This thing of being tied to another man made me angry. So, I interrupted him by forcing him to tell me his reasons.
- I brought you here because of Olivia. You must have felt different from your old self when you were with her. Truth?
I nodded at his words. Normally I wouldn't care about women's feelings. Lately, though, I've started to worry about the emotions of my toys.
- That's due to a remnant influence from my body.
- What do you mean?
- Still don't get it?
This guy's face showed a lot of doubt on his face. It looked like he was talking to an idiot. So, I decided to give my opinion.
- As I merged with your soul, I acquired some of your behaviors and tendencies. Maybe you loved that girl and that's why she refused to treat her badly. Correct?
Merlin nodded, confirming my theory. Then he said.
- Yes, you're right. I fell in love with it since I was little. She was the only one who cared about me and treated me well unlike the rest of the servants. I couldn't have brought you to this space before and it's all because of her. My remaining feelings were amplified while your desires were calmed by taking it out on Camila and Domenica.
- Drop the roll and speak what you want.
Merlin coughed and said. Currently I was acting like a true noble, haughty and superior which annoyed me.
- You don't have to get so angry. I'm just copying your personality. We are both one after all. What I want is for you to treat Olivia and the rest of the women you get along the way.
- I refuse.
I instantly declined his request. Remnant or not, these were not my real feelings.
Consider it a good alterego. You will only see it for these chapters and quite possibly much later in the story. It is necessary for the growth of the character so trust this author a little.
Merlin looked at me surprised by my answer, but something told me that he was already waiting for it.
- Don't bother rejecting so quickly. There are advantages for you on my side.
Now it was my turn to be perplexed. There was nothing this soul fragment could help me with.
- Wrong. There are many things I can do for you and one is by helping you hide that you are a vampire. You should know the entry requirements for the academy or the adventurer's guild. Truth?
My mind quickly traveled to memories of the game and Merlin. To register as an adventurer, one had to be analyzed by a magical device that would issue a card containing the name and race data. It will then be checked by the receptionist and handed over to the novice adventurer.
As for academia, the same scenario occurs. Only races affiliated with the human side such as elves, dwarves, and beastmen will be allowed to enter these sites. I immediately understood what he meant by concealment.
I couldn't hide my race in both cases since that device was analyzing me directly. If I don't attend the academy, I could lose my noble title. That would be bad. The difference between nobleman and commoner was too great, and the discrimination was even greater.
- It's impossible to hide my status. How do you plan to do it?
This question was legitimate. Those devices were taking my data directly from the system or that was in the game.
- You're a vampire, but I'm not.
- What do you mean?
- Easy. In this space you can still use the use of the system since we are inside your mind. Why don't you use evaluate and confirm it?
Just out of doubt I used to evaluate on it.

His condition was identical to mine. The only thing that was different was my race and class, which I didn't have. Seeing my surprised face, Merlin continued.
- We are two people within one body. When the magic tool analyzes you, I'll only have to show my status and not yours. Not only that. You also saw that I have a class, but you don't. If you accept my terms, I will fully join you and you will be able to get two classes instead of just one. You know how important it would be to have two main classes. This also applies to your two high school classes.
His talk had given me a headache. The benefits were much higher than the price to pay. Even though that frustrated me more, I didn't want to stop playing with women the way I wanted.
- I'm not asking you to stop playing with women however you want. All I ask is that you don't throw them away when they're no longer fun and treat them like your partners instead of toys. After all, my only wish in life was to be loved by someone.
I frowned, still skeptical.
- You can still treat the people who offended you however you want. I'm just telling you not to treat badly the women you decide to make your toys, personal slaves, lovers, wives, concubines, etc. You can play badass as well. You know, bondage and stuff as long as they're okay.
At his last request, I couldn't help but get angry. However, I decided to negotiate a bit.
- The latter is out of the question. I want to play the way I want. However, I can promise you that I won't throw them away. That's ok? It's all I can offer. As for whether I choose to treat them as lovers or something else, it must develop naturally, and I don't want your intervention.
Seeing that this was the only thing I could get from my Merlin, he nodded. Then he held out his hand as a sign of dealing. When our hands met, my whole surroundings changed instantly.
My arms felt heavy and my eyes were fixed on the ceiling of my room. Apparently, I returned to the real world.
I assure you that the MC's personality will not change.I hate protagonists who use women and then forget about them. If I introduce a character it is because they will have a more important role in the future.
