From what I could remember, we would stuck in this room for about 24 hours while the body slowly turned to dust before it seeped in to your body. At least that would be the case if you were able to kill your double.
That was why I wasn't surprised when a sharp pain woke me up.It's happening. The awakening.
"Fuck" I couldn't help but curse a little while trying to get off the skeleton-like body that the girl had turned into. The old pain from the fight and the new pain from the ongoing awakening made me see stars for a second.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" I kept cursing as the pain intensify. At some point, I decided to give up and laid back on the body.
So what if she slowly turned into dust? So what if I choked on it a little? At least it hurt less than moving, even though it was kind of gross. The thought of having her in my lungs made me shuttled.
But this ain't real, though. I reminded myself. This was just a manifest of yourself. This was all in my mind or a different plain. Who knows?
All I knew was that this was not physically real. After this was done, I would wake up in my real body. With no pain, no injury, but with power. If my dream was right, of course.
You just need to hold on. You had it worse, Kas. Remember that one time the boss decided it would be fun to shove his fist in? The pain was definitely worse. Or when the time mother…
"Shut up" I grumble to myself. Why the fuck would I try to torture myself? I knew that I had worse, physically, mentally. There was no need to relieve that. Anything but that.
Let's focus on the feeling of the blood burning inside your veins, ok? It wasn't that bad.
So, I did just that.
After a while, I realized that there was barely anything left of the body. Just a pile of dust underneath me. I could even feel myself touching the cold floor now. It won't be long before I can get out of this place.
As time went by. Maybe like an hour? I could feel no dust under me. Just the cold hard floor.
I guess it was about time.
"Your body has been adjusted. Please choose one level-one ability to complete the awakening" the voice said in my head before a window popped up in front of me.
In the window, I could see a list of 5 abilities.
1. Poison control
2. Illusion control
3. Life control
4. Shadow control
5. Future sight
Time to choose, I guess.
