The pit shook as a change came upon its very air. The light of the blue district pulsed and flashed multiple times, echoing the vibrations in the air as this new change was acknowledged. Not many people might know or understand that this change, was nothing more than the birth of a new era, the turning of a new chapter as that which should not have been possible, has been made manifest. And whether good or bad, the world will burn for it.

When I opened my eyes, I took a deep breath, a breath that did not expose me to air, but to the very breath of creation and destruction itself. I could feel more than I ever expected, see farther than I ever could, hear sharper than should be possible, and taste sharper the everlasting flavor and tang of human blood in the air, I was free.
[SYSTEM INITIALIZING...5%.... 40%.... 75%.... 100%, SYSTEM LOADING AND SYNCHRONIZING WITH CORE UNIVERSAL LAWS...…5%.....10%...15%.....45%... 60%.... 85%....100%. SYSTEM START UP COMPLETE. HELLO KAEL, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR UNSEALING.]
" is that you earth?" I asked out loud in surprise at the voice in my head.
[YES KAEL, YOU'VE DONE WELL, BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. YOU HAVE TO GET YOURSELF PREPARED FOR THE NEXT TASK.]
I felt annoyed, I and barely just got over what I would have considered an insurmountable task, and now earth was putting more insurmountable tasks in front of me. She/he, it, did not even let me have a few moments of rest, and now I have to do other things. I was prepared for this, but that didn't mean I was okay with being treated like some sort of tool.
"What tasks do you have for me?" I asked with a tired tone.
[WELL THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY TASKS, MORE LIKE MISSIONS. AND WITH EACH MISSION YOU COMPLETE, YOU WOULD BE REWARDED, AND THEN YOU WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT MISSION. THE MISSIONS GIVEN, WOULD VARY IN TERMS OF IMPORTANCE AND URGENCY, SOME WOULD BE SPONTANEOUS AND REQUIRE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY, OTHERS WOULD REQUIRE TO SPEND MOST OF YOUR EXTREMELY LONG LIFE BEFORE YOU CAN COMPLETE IT.]
"This missions, why are you giving them to me?" I asked confused. Ultimately I knew I had to protect earth from cosmic threats, and find a way to get her to the core universe. So in the end, I did not see a need for any extra missions.
[THE ANSWER TO THAT IS SIMPLE. THE MISSIONS ARE GIVEN TO HELP YOU GET STRONGER. EVERY MISSION I HAND OUT TO YOU, WILL BE TAILOR MADE TO SHAPE YOU INTO A POWERFUL LEADER, GIVE YOU MORE STRENGTH THAN YOU HAVE, SO THAT YOU CAN BECOME CAPABLE ENOUGH FOR THE TASK AHEAD. THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.]
Those words were so cold, different from what I expected. It was as if Earth saw me as cattle, or a pet she had to train to do what she wanted, or guard the house from thieves. I was being used...…..by a planet, and I don't think I could do anything against this. I had just traded one shackle, for another. And from the looks of things, the second shackle is worse, much more worse.
[MISSION: In one month, raise tower level to 10/ REWARD: 100 essence points.]
[MISSION: In one week, unseal every vampire in the tower and facilitate the creation of your Coven/REWARD: 20 essence points, new soul rune]
[MISSION: Kill the grand elder and take control of the blue district./ REWARD: 600 essence points, new bloodline skill, power crest.]
There were a lot of terms that I couldn't understand, and I wanted to ask what they meant, but I couldn't. At that moment I felt that the more questions I asked, the deeper and more connected I would be to earth. This was a change that I did not expect, Earth has been the home of humans, for millions if not billions of years. You could even say that she was our mother, after all she was not called mother earth for nothing. However just one moment and a few choice words had broken that illusion from me.
I remember when I first entered a seal, it seems like a life time ago, but its been barely twenty four hours since then. I've changed so much in that short span of time, it's like I lived an entirely different life. And in that life Earth had been all a out me accepting my destiny so that I could save the trillions of living beings, spread between seven different universes.
But now I think I understood what she really meant, I was no doing this to save any lives, I was doing this to save Earth, any other person who lives from that decision is just a bonus. I felt used, but I couldn't say no, I was approached in a different manner, coaxed into accepting this fate, as if I had a choice in the matter.
But in the end I was just a pawn, a meticulously being trained pawn. There was no need for any sort of pretense from earth. She knew I was going to do everything she wanted me to do, no matter what price I had to pay. Because if I didn't do as I was told, the people I love would die, and it would be my fault. I was being taken advantage of, and I was letting it happen.
I took a deep breath, feeling my connection to my body reach an unprecedented level. I felt that I was stronger, faster, and my senses were way beyond what I would consider normal. You gut from here, o could hear Asha and Xaseah still talking to the children outside my apartment. It seems I haven't been unsealing myself for long, at most it has only been ten minutes.
But it was not just from my body, I could feel each of my circles more vividly, the tingle in my spine from my soul circle, or the mental image of a tree that depicted my mental circles, and strange tingles in my heart for ether. But apart from that, I could feel something else, like another limb, a third hand which I've always had, but only just noticed. I moved that arm, and this happened.

It went beyond just having new skills, but everything that was sealed was now unsealed. And I had an inherent understanding of every sky or stat here. Now I could not only monitor my growth in power, I could modify it to suit my own preference.
And as far as getting stronger is concerned, I could do it way faster than expected now because of this. I've achieved what I put my mind on for the past five months, I've broken free from the shackles that kept me truly bound to this place, and even if I now find a tighter noose around my neck, one of my own making nonetheless, I was ready to face the world, to face this world, and fight for my place in it.

THE PIT
WHITE DISTRICT
DEEPEST SECTOR
SHAMIR THE UNSEALED.
Shamir felt nervous for some reason, he couldn't understand why, but he felt as if something had change, so much so that even his blood trembled with caution and apprehension. Of course it had everything to do with the fact that the light of the blue district has been flashing none stop for the past five minutes, and it's flashing was accompanied by an earthquake that moved in tandem with it's dimming and brightening.
It felt troubled, but hopefully he would have his answers in no time at all. Shamir blended his self into the dim lights of the white district, even though this place was always bright, reminiscent of some sort of human celestial fantasy, there were places where the huge frames of the towers cast shadows over the earth, and it was through those shadows that he moved his essence and body as he traveled through the shadow realm until he got to a castle.
It was still a tower though, but it had been carved and built into in such a way, that it no longer looked like a tower, but a massive colossal castle, covered in so many seals and barrier runes meant to keep the entity within trapped for all of eternity. Shamir looked up at one of the numerous balconies placed almost two thousand feet in the air and saw the person who's counsel he had come to seek. Standing from the ground and looking that far was nothing more than child's play for a Shadower, but even then, in the shadow realm, his strength was more than double.
His presence In this world of grey and black, was dangerous due to the entities that roamed with a revenant hunger within this grey world, hoping to devour the life essence of anybody stupid enough to shadow walk through this realm. But Shamir was a monster all on his own as he had been the first vampire in current known history to feast on the monsters of the shadow realm, turning him into something else, something worse.
Shamir stepped out of the shadow realm and shuddered in discomfort at the feeling being in the real world gave him. It was disgusting. He went into the castle tower, choosing to ignore the thousands of vampires and miscellaneous species that lived within it.
Maybe it might not come as a surprise to a lot of people that a castle like this had this much people living within it, however it would still shock people when they find out, that more than eighty percent of the vampires here were unsealed and no lower in rank than a nosferatu. It was a force capable of bringing the entire pit to it's knees.
Shamir made his way upwards with a determined gait, until he found himself standing behind another vampire.
He bowed low, making sure his head was touching the ground as he paid respects and homage to the person in front of him. The very air sizzler with power as occasional sparks of electricity and wisps of flames would appear in the air, completely affected by the immense power of this individual and the way he affected his environment.
There was practically no body in the pit who didn't know who he is, he has many names, but what he's most known by, is a title. The Last Dracula. But regardless of what they all knew about him, only Shamir and few of the people in this castle tower knew that he wasn't a man, he was a woman.
"Have you come running to me in fright again Shamir, I don't think that's a good image for your reputation." A playful feminine voice spoke up.
"Master please pardon my intrusion, but the recent flashes of light from the blue district has me worried. And not just that master, my blood has been reacting strangely to the phenomenon, and it really had me bothered. I've come to know if you have any idea why this is happening." Shamir answered with a subservient tone filled with respect.
"Aish, must you be so uptight, I've told you many times you don't have to be so stiff. But you never listen to me, fine, I've decided not to tell you what's happening until you call me by my name." The feminine voice said playfully still looking ahead.
Shamir clenched his fist in annoyance. He wanted to worship this figure in front of him, to give her the utmost respect that she deserves, but she kept on insisting that they had a cordial relationship. She was the most feared vampire, if not the most feared being currently in existence. But she was so lax about her position and power. Shamir let out a sigh as he knew this was a battle he would not be able to win. She was a persistent as she was crazy, and unshakable as she was beautiful, which was actually a lot.
"Ming Bae Ki" Shamir said with unwillingness as he tongue felt like he ate ash by calling his master with her given name.
"Excellent, now let this noona tell you what's happening. Its quite interesting you see. Hah! I've not be this excited since the time I found out I transmigrated. Now let me tell you this...….."
