"Awwww.... this is quite the addicting feeling."
I stated as the sudden rush of power coursed through my entire body, if I had to explain what I was feeling then it would be a fuzzy and comfortable shock all over my body.
And as I began to understand the way my power worked, I was completely exalted by the power boost, of course, Lacia was kind enough to explain what was happening to me.
<That master is a natural reaction to stimuli, your soul is just been developed as you power yourself further, so yeah it will feel slightly addicting, think of it as a soulgasm>
"I will ignore that I even hear that, but regardless this is amazing and time-saving, if I learn to use it instantly all that I have to do is improve on it."
<Most certainly master, but anyway you better work quickly, the guy is on the verge of collapsing he lost both arms already, at this rate he going to die>
"Don't sweat it, if he accepts my deal and offers I will patch him up right after."
<Are you going to turn him into a vampire as well>
"Hmm no, not to sound mean, but only people who are truly worth my time and are worthy to stand beneath my foot will get the offer of becoming one of my original progenitors."
<I see so how are you going to heal him>
"Actually standing here I realize that most of my powers that empower people can be rather dangerous although very beneficial, so I decided I shall take little old Orion here as my personal test subject, a lab rat who knows maybe the result might be satisfactory."
<Oh I see, you know you might just end up killing him if your experiments fail>
"Oh no, he looks weak, well he is weak, but apart from that, the determined one who has a reason a reason to live is always the hardest to kill."
<Well who knows?>
"That right who knows, and if he does turn out to be a failure, he can always be replaced with another specimen, maybe one that is a lot more useful."
But little did I know at the time, that this boy named Orion who would later be renamed, would one day earn the moniker, The impenetrable fortress, and the world's first person to receive the title of saint representing the fist, and the strongest fighter, under the nameless king in orange, Wrath God Ashera, he who indulge in violence.
"But anyway let's get to work."
With that said I jump off the tree, and I land gracefully on the ground right beside Orion and his half-dead ass.
"Tell me Lacia, you said I had an increase in physical strength, how much strength are we talking about here?"
<With your elven strength and vampiric strength, then I would say you have enough to toss a bus, full of fat people, like a pencil>
"Ohhh, that's quite a lot for my default strength, anyway let's get this over with."
With that said, I walk past Orion and walk right in front of it, and strangely enough, I don't feel any fear at all despite this being my first ever real battle.
"Well, whatever I'm dying to test out this new body of mine."
With that said I rush towards the greater Archaeopotamus with full speed which left a huge trail of dusk, and also took the forest beast by surprise.
And in no time, I was right in front of its face, its eyes still looking at the front, I smile at this, I can't waste any time, so with everything I got, I send a full power punch to the side of it ugly ass face.
And the result was well devastating, because, upon impact, the entire head of the greater Archaeopotamus exploded in a bloody mess as it oozes all over the place.
And if that wasn't enough, the pure shock waves of my full-powered fist caused the huge tree that was in front of my attack to crumble to pieces.
Boom!
The pure brutality, of the scene, was enough to make even the strongest of warrior look at it in pure disgust, the eyes, bones, flesh everything flew all over the place, and it only cost me to be bathed in the blood of a hippo monster how awesome.
"Well with that said and done let's get you to fix up shall we boy."
But I got no response, instead, Lacia commented.
<He lost consciousness due to the blood loss, the time till death is one minute fifteen seconds>
"Yeah I'm on it, agh... well first let's create a crest that slows his death down, till I find a way to fix his body without turning him into a vampire, ok a life support crest would do, the purpose of the crest is to keep him alive, so pain, blood loss, and shock would be meanless.
With that said I began picturing a simple medical cross design, and the purpose is as follows.
1. This Crest will keep the host alive at all costs, as long as the head isn't severed
2. Sufficient and necessary nutrients would be given to the host when needed
3. This crest can dullen pain, but only by 70%
4. This Crest can keep the host asleep for as long as the creator wishes
5. This crest has sufficient healing properties.
The total cost of the crest: 5,000 shards
<Notice 5,000 shards have been extracted>
And with that done and said, what came before me, was a beautiful looking green a crest with angel wings, It was giving a rather holy and friendly aura that could calm the mind and heal the body If the fatigue, thankfully I don't have any, thanks to the authority of Sloth.
But I didn't waste any more time as I places the crest on his chest, and when I did that it sink deep into his skin, it look like he had a tattoo put on him.
And after fusion, the power of the crest began to kick in as Orion's rough breathing began to slow down to a more moderate paste, meaning I don't have to worry about him dying.
"It seems that it was a success."
<Most definitely, it is master we are talking about here, so saving a child from life-threatening wounds such as these is nothing to you, I expect nothing less>
"Yea yea ms over dramatic."
"Although I need a place to station at, even if it is temporarily."
<Master the one call Orion has a cabin about 90 meters away, there you can give him proper medical treatment, although those limbs are not replaceable, so prosthetics are needed if you're not going to turn him into a vampire, although the choice is yours to make>
"Well it doesn't matter, I'm the type that rejects humanity and returns to monke, so I will rebuild the body to a more suitable and fitting weapon."
"Of course, that after I juice up his head with some subliminal thoughts, while he is asleep, so when he wakes up, he will be both devastated and desperate."
<I see, basically hypnotizing him in his sleep without him even noticing>
"Yeah, although I want to know a way I can fix him, take notice that I'm also short on income, so is their ability that could allow me to perform surgery, body modifications, and alteration?"
<There is, but the cost would make you broke right away>
"Well fuck ok then what do you got for me."
<Just look into the same tab again>
With that said I began scrolling down to the tab, I click it to open and I saw a rather intriguing ability.
[D rank ability]

<Would you like to buy?>
[Yes] or [No]
Of course, I purchase it no question ask, from there I pick up Orion like a rice sack, and walk towards his Cabin, as it is there that I will begin preparation for surgery.
[??? Pov]
"And just like that, it happens, a boy defenseless in his weaknesses, trapped in the confinement that is his life, meets a man of a mysterious origin, the grand one-sided battle of two monsters facing each other one a beast and the other a man, but yet the man came out victorious despite the size difference, his vision hazy it is, but in the filtered state between the path of consciousness and unconsciousness, he bears witness to it first hand."
"With one mighty blow from the small man clothed in full orange, the battle ceased Immediately, but to even call it a battle would disgrace very word disgrace itself, to describe how the boy felt at that moment when he saw the true meaning of true power for the first time in his life, then he himself would have said as follow."
"I lay there bearing witness to the unexplainable event that occur before I took my last breath, and departed this world with nothing but eternal regrets, but at that moment when I came to terms with my death a man with hair so white it was not of this world, eyes so beautiful and alluring even the God would falter before its ethereal beauty, skin so clear and smooth even the air thinks twice before touching it, he had pointy ears none that I had seen before, but despite that he still was humanoid, but to call what I saw human would be impossible, a warlock or a master it had to be because to describe what became of the greater Archaeopotamus, then I would have to say that I watch the beast become the man, and the man becomes the beast, I wish I could see more, but I fell unconscious shortly after."
"And so broughteth the end of the inspiring nightmare that loatheth the dream, to begin with, but in the disastrous experience that could only be described as a traumatic nightmare for thee, he could only lay his mind upon one thing."
"I want to be like him, so small, so feeble at first glance, but everything he does would be impactful no matter the event, I want to be strong, maybe just maybe if I was strong like him, then no one would look down upon me."
"This was a boy's dream, an idiotic idea represented as impossible, but why is it impossible, if he so desires the idea, then reaches to it and never lets it go, all dreams are possible, it was never made to be impossible, but barriers in our mind, the stiffness in our hearts, and denial in our soul is what keeps us from reaching the dream that is our end."
"So the question is, will "Slumber" come to see the boy as a mere tool, or will Slumber come love the boy as a father figure the weak one never had, the plot thickens with each word, with each second, a tales of an existing legend, and the begin of legend, were will the journey take them, well all in one a tale of loss and maturity, but the path taken is one full of nothing but blood, the story of a young God at the start of his legend the slumber, and a boy who had nothing, but gain something that will lead him to everything, and the inspiring dream I dubbed as the seed of wrath, the story of the boy who swore to be his liege shield and fist, a wall, and a fortress that know no defeat."
"Nay I say, the outcome of the dream of the weak one desire is within reach, the bigger question however is, how long can he hold on, does he have what it takes to walk alongside the slumber, only time can tell."
"Well, then that brings today's story of the epics of slumber to an end, I must say, only six chapters in, but slumber has already proven to be one of my favorite characters, nay the young one has a lot to learn, and experience before enlightenment to ascend to the outer planes, but regardless of time, much less the meaning, I have high hopes for thee, because, with the overflowing glass of wine that is thy eternal boredom, I look forward to the story that is your dream oh slumber one."
Boooooom!!!
Boom!!!
Boooom!!!
Booooooooooom!!!
But as I was doing my daily monologuing, the sounds of multiple explosions could be heard in the lingering background.
And when I gaze to the left, the vision of the lost one came into view, there she was fighting off the chaos the im forced to deal with every night without rest.
The darkness that dwells within the garden of dreams, the plague that curses the happiness, nightmare birthed from the negativity of mankind's unfilled desires.
These creatures apart from the lost one are the only thing I see every day without rest, but just as they cannot accept me, I will not accept it, this prison that keeps me sane from the idiocy of mankind's folly Is the only thing causing them not leak out to the vast reality and omniverse that exist, either way, if the dream ends and I awake from thy slumber, then there will be nothing else to dream about, nothing else to watch, and nothing else to appreciate.
I am the only one who can withstand the pain that comes with solitude, to me, it is nothing but a vague feeling of loss, I have no recollection of who I was, what I was, or how I came to be.
I only know that this is my prison, and so it shall forever be, I wish not to escape for that means I shall awake, yes I am aware that I am alive somewhere, anywhere, maybe everywhere, but the consequences are at stake if I should ever leave this place, I call thy prison, the consequences would be severe and irreversible.
"Well it's not like it matters anyway, I have long forgotten my true self, and that is ok as long as I can see the dreams of mankind, then im contented with this solitude, I am the fragment of something long forgotten, but to give meaning to thy current self, I declare my title as the witch of Origin Eliza, a seeker of knowledge, a scholar with immeasurable tales, an ordinary doll trap in an eternal nightmare of untold beauty."
Boooom!!!
"The hell how can you fight these annoying monstrosities every night teacher, there is no end to them, I can't anymore I have reached my limit."
"Stop complaining about trivial things lost one, I offer thee an option to leave this cruel dream 789 years ago, but thou art choseth to stay, and experience hell, so don't complain you dig your own grave, you wanted to be thy disciple so I gave thee a shot, come on now lost one this is just the start of the last wave, you still have 10,000+ year's to go before the cursed night is finish."
"10,000+ year's that going to kill me, Agh my lord please save this servant from this demonic teacher of mine, I admit that I'm getting tired, how many times have a died fighting these incompressible things."
"Less talking more fighting lost one."
"Agh for the millionth time the name is Carmilla, not lost one."
"Whatever you say lost one."
"Aghhh I hope your favorite character dies you old demon."
"If he did you cease existing."
"Egh...agh... wait I didn't mean to slander your...
"I do not care lost one, I am simply stating the facts, now then, to not distract you in your endeavors I shall place up sound barriers for the next 10,000+ years."
At those words, Carmilla's face lit up in an unexplainable horror as she said.
"Wait don't leave me behind with these things, mercy tea...
Snap!
But all that was heard and seen was the snapping of Eliza's fingers and the manifestation of a sound barrier, meanwhile, Carmilla was in the background knocking on the barrier with pleading and dread in her eyes, as she fought monsters of all sizes most of them incomprehensible.
"Silence at last, well then unto the next story shall we?"
