'Has it really been 5 years since that day?' I ask myself as I wake up from my bed and remember when the tabaxi tried to steal my ring. I walk wipe the sleep from my eyes as I walk to the bathroom nonchalantly. I feel a gelatinous mass on my head and take off the purple slime cat as I place it on the six legged, horse sized feline that moved to sleep on the outside of my bathroom door.
I let the water run over my scales as I bathe in the warmth provided by the fire crystals and water crystals. After a little bit, I walk out of the shower completely clean as I look in the mirror, I have grown to 6'3 and my features have refined, my body has a few more scars then before, along with a large scar that travels from my peck all the way down to my abdomen, clearly done by a large creature.
I take my time as I wave my hand and a black box appears in front of my eyes I open it as I take out the suit, and put it on with ease. As I put it on, I feel the suit tighten to a perfect fit as it molds to my body's sharply cut form.
I open my stat panel and smile as I look at it, 'Stats.'

I remember something as I try to activate Mana Container Reforming Technique just to see the same block pop up.
—————————————————————
"Mana core at maximum growth, refine core with pure shadow mana to pass into next stage."
"Current stage: Rank 0"
—————————————————————
'What is pure shadow mana? I have been trying everything I can to get this to work, even using it during.....intimate moments yet nothing has worked. Is it something I'm not understanding or rather something I'm missing?' I suddenly remember the....intimate moments me and Winter had and shake slightly.
'And I never thought she would approach me to start it! It slightly spooked me.' I think as I remember the interaction as clear as day. But I am awoken from my thoughts as I see Winter enter the bathroom with a yawn. I smile at her as she smiles back, Winter is currently 17 and at a height of 5'5ft tall. She smiles at me as she strips herself and hops into the shower, I patiently wait for her to exit the shower and after about 40 minutes later, she exits. Her silver hair shines in the light as she walks out of the shower, water dripping from her figure.
I peck her on the cheek as I walk out with the box on my back, "I'm off to do my daily work, I'll see you later this afternoon alright?" Her once drowsy face is now fully awake as she looks at me with worry, "Don't get hurt like last time! I love you!" I smile back as I put on the mask and my demonic voice leaves the mask, "I'll be back by lunch. I love you too."
I close the door behind me as I remember her beautiful curves which would even make gods jealous. 'The view is still fantastic.' I look down at the massive cat and put Slime Winter in my tattoo along with Blossom.
The tattoos regain their color as the two familiars are stored within them and I walk out of my room, ready for the adventure that today will bring. I walk down the halls and am bowed at by maids and butlers as I walk towards the exit. I hear a voice behind me as I walk pays a room, "Wait!" I sigh at the sound of his voice and watch as a 15 year old kid walks to my side, wearing silver gear from head to toe.
He catches up to me and smiles as he puts his arm around my shoulder, "Come on Kurayami! Let's party up and adventure!" I stare at him, before not even fighting. I nod as we begin walking down the hall. But that doesn't stop this kid from talking. "I still can't believe you and my sister are both divine beasts. How is your divine beast training coming along anyway?"
I look towards him as I explain, "It's going quite well, sadly I am having trouble unlocking my form, unlike your sister. That's why I started adventuring anyway." He nods as he pulls out his card and looks at it, "My dad wouldn't let me join by myself, but he said if I can join with you, then that would be alright. I still can remember that day very vividly.
After a bit of walking, we finally exit the castle and enter the noble district which surrounds the king's massive castle. We continue to walk as people gawk at us and I hear whispers.
"Are those adventurers? They look strong."
"Do you not know them? They are the two grade B adventurers! And they aren't even twenty yet!"
"What?! Your lying! That's impossible!"
"It isn't, they are the duo of death!"
I look over and see that Jack is now wearing his signature helmet, it has the symbol of the kingdom on the side of its tank like look, covering even his eyes. His large heavy sword on his back as he walks alongside me, giving him the nickname he came up with, King's Temperament.
We continue to walk as we finally arrive at the branch of the adventurers guild here. It looks like a 3 story building with the symbol of two swords crossing eachother with sparks in the middle.
We enter and meet a young lamia at the entrance, her snake lower half curled up as if she is prepared to attack. She politely asks, "Are you here to apply or return?"
"Return." I say as my demonic voice causes her to shiver slightly. Me and Jack hold up our cards as she puts on a pair of glasses that glow as she reads our cards.
"King's Temperament, Age...15, Rank...B?!" She is thrown off as she continues to read.
"Weapon...Heavy Sword, Elements...Earth.. Wind..Light, Mage rank....C, Guild....none!" She becomes respectful as she speaks, "Esteemed guest, thanks for returning." She vows towards him and turns over to look up at me as she looks back down at my card.
"Reaper's Shadow, Age...15, Rank...B again?!" She shakes slightly as she continues reading, "Weapon...Scythe, Elements...Darkness, Mage rank...F, Guild....none?!"
She is in awe, 'That means this demonic being is actually making up his rank in combat?!' Never would she imagine seeing a teenager with such a high rank from combat alone, she is in the presence of legends.
She bows towards me as she speaks, her voice as respectful as could possibly be, "We are happy to have 2 such young and esteemed guests. Please enter."
