Chapter 7 - "Who are you?"

  All around the world people could see a tower of black light piercing the skies.

  Adventures from all around the world felt the feeling of enthusiasm as they decided one of their goals would be to unlock the mysteries of the tower.

  Kings and queens, emperors and empresses, all with the doubt and goal of finding the most probably treasures inside the tower.

  Churches could feel the wrong energy coming from the tower, an energy that made all the weaker nuns to vomit and faint, except the church at the end of the world, where Elaine was hugging herself while blushing,

  “Our master is here…”

  Dragons surrounded the tower the minute it appeared, but no one could pass the kilometer mark to the tower, the energy it emitted was enough to kill all weak monsters and animals around.

  And in his laboratory Jaul was having the best day he could have, since only he and some other people knew the existence of corruption, he knew that tower was made out of purely corrupted magic, something that no one has ever see in the last 2,000 years.

  “Hehehe… this is the best day… that crazy girl energy disappeared, and a tower of corruption appeared! I couldn’t ask for more!”

  While Jaul was laughing, deep into his laboratory to beings were talking to each other until one stopped in her talk and started looking to a certain direction, it wasn’t the direction of the tower, but where the door to the other place was located, corrupted energy was flowing from within, and Angela, even though a fake one, was a divine being, could only feel completely horrified by such amounts of wrongness.

  On the other side, Berg didn’t notice the energy but he indeed notices the blood coming out of the door, black blood was leaking from the door slowly, and even thought he came to have a like to blood, he would rather die than drink this one.

  In the fake world created by her trapper, Rakikas was having her dinner, but suddenly in someplace far from the center of her jungle, she felt a diseased feeling, suddenly there was a crack, in the sky a tear in space was opened and a single rock fall from it in front of her, Rakikas felt a sense of wrongness coming from the rock so she identified it as it started raining black blood.

  [Fr46m3n/ 0f C0rrup/10n]

  Inside a scaled egg in the middle of the outer jungle, Iko was asleep inside covered in a black goo, with some strings connecting her to the walls of the egg, inside of there she was having a dream, or it could also be a nightmare…

  Inside her mind Iko was full of pain for what felt like an eternity, after the pain calmed down a bit and she could think straight she started looking around her, there was nothingness but at the same time there were a lot of things, she didn’t know how to explain it, it felt weird but it was somehow comforting… as if she was back to her mother embrace… and now that she remembers her mother, she asked herself

  When did I forget about my parents? I… can’t remember my life before the attack…

  I was a farmer but… what else? I can’t even remember doing anything farmer like… how did I even know how to fight? I should have struggled more against everything… but it was so easy… so easy to take a life… I feel… tired…

  As Iko was drifting to sleep, she saw something, an eye was watching her, it was small, almost the size of her finger… but then another one appeared, and another, and another until there were hundreds, all of different sizes, but 2 in specific stood out, there were the biggest and it was as if it was a face, then white lines started appearing creating the figure of a woman but the eyes were covering her entire body, it had horns, horns that looked suspiciously like hers, it also had wings, where Iko had holes, she had eyes.

  “Who are you?”

  Asked Iko.

  “M0/#3r”

  “nghhh” Iko head hurt just by listening to her, she tried to grab her head but couldn’t, her hands wouldn’t move, as she looked at her body, she saw it was broken in pieces, it wasn’t her body, it was her soul, who was hanging in by threads of hate and corruption, otherwise, it would have broken apart by now.

  “|)4u6/3R… #ur/”

  Every time the woman spoke, the words she said, if it can even be considered that, make Iko soul hurt even more.

  “Stop talking… it hurts…” said Iko with a weak voice

  The figure stood quiet before lifting a hand. Iko was now scared of her life afraid she made this strange being mad, but instead, the being reduced her size to Iko size and hugged her.

  “Huh? W-what’s happening?”

  “!m 50rry” the voice of the woman became calmed and it didn’t hurt this time , she didn’t even felt uncomfortable with the hug, instead, she felt like a kid in her mother arms.

  “I’m sorry…,” said the figure.

  Before Iko could ask anything, she woke up inside the egg, covered in the black goo and attached to the strings, she panicked since she felt lonely in there, there wasn’t anyone there to fight or that tried to kill her, she started breathing rapidly and her tail got out of control breaking everything around her including the egg, as soon as she saw a bit of sun she launched herself to the crack breaking everything inside.

  “Hahaha… I can’t believe I almost had a panic attack because I was lonely…”

  Said Iko as she saw all the monsters drinking from a strange liquid on the ground, she knew it was her blood by feeling it with her [Corrupted sense] but it also wasn’t her, it was just corrupted blood, corrupted blood falling from the sky, or more specifically, tears in the sky.

  “What the fuck is happening…”

  Iko thoughts were interrupted with a *ding* coming from her side, as she looked over to her side she saw the system.

  “This is… not what I was waiting for…”

  [Congratulations! You have evolved!]

  [New sub race: Juvenile Royal Corrupter Dragon]

  [New skill: Dragon breath: Corruption. [Quest Locked]]

  [New skill: Dragon roar: Weak]

  [Modified skill: Corrupted Touch, Eye of The Dragon]

  [New skill points: Physical +20, Mental +15, Mystic: +5]

  [Mystic stat is maxed out until level 30]

  [All new Mystic stats will be given to another stat. Physical +5]

  [New unique skill: The M0/#3r’5 Embrace]

  [Title unlocked: |)4u6#/3r]

  [New skill: Royal Guard [Quest Locked]]

  [New skill: Corrupted Body]

  [New skill: True Body [Quest Locked]]

  [New Achievement: Royal Race]

  [New quest: The 7 fragments]

  Iko was left astonished with the number of notifications and their contents, especially the 2 corrupted notifications. She expected 1 skill maybe 2, not 3 and other 3 being [Quest Locked] something she heard was really rare, the amount of people who got those skills were pretty low, and the people who could complete the quest was even smaller.

  Iko was about to identify her new abilities and check her quests, but she slipped on the blood and fell to the ground face first, drinking some, it was, not surprising, delicious, as it was corrupted, she expected her percentage for the next blood tier to increase but it didn’t, confused she identified the blood.

  [Corrupted Blood of Iko]

  [The Corrupted blood of the dragon Iko, the pure concentration of corruption is enough to make the weak monsters explode from the energy contained inside]

  It was her blood, the system had transformed her blood into an item, as she was processing the information she heard a loud *pop*, she looked over to where the sound was and show a lot of monster explode, the ones that didn’t explode all became corrupted monsters, her blood, now raining, was transforming monsters into corrupted monsters.

  “I don’t know how to feel about this…”

  Iko decided to check the quests she got before anything else happened.

  [The Heart of The Dragon]

  [The most important part of a dragon is their heart, you, who wasn’t born a dragon, needs to find a way to replace your heart to awaken the full potential of your race, or else, your old heart won’t be able to survive long]

  [Heart of a dragon: 0/1]

  [Reward: Achievement: New dragon]

  [Skill: True form]

  [Skill: Dragon breath: Corruption]

  [Time limit: 120d]

  [Failing to complete this mission will result in immediate death]

  This was the last thing she expected it would be, she was literally in a deadline here, but where was she supposed to find a dragon in the first place, not even talking about getting its heart.

  Iko decided to look to the other quests before getting more depressed.

  [A True Royal]

  [Someone that wasn’t born a royal has become one! I must say, congratulations. But others would not be happy about that, prove you are a real royal to get their respect]

  [Get someone full loyalty: 0/1]

  [Reward: Skill: Royal Guard]

  [Failure to complete this quest will result in eliminating your royal status]

  [Time limit: 120d]

  And again, it was something she didn’t expect, so if she didn’t get someone full loyalty in 4 months, she would get her new race technically eliminated, she wasn’t so sure now if she wanted to check the last quest, but she guessed she could just do it later after seeing her new abilities and modifications to 2 of them.

  [Dragon Roar: Weak]

  [Listen to the call of the King]

  [The user shouts and a powerful shockwave will interfere with your foes senses, the higher the level difference, it will be more effective or less effective, to all the user allies they will get a status buff to their weakest stat]

  “This one is good” thought Iko as she was devouring and killing the monsters around the blood, she did notice it was raining in all the jungle but for some reason, where she was it was raining more, probably cause it was her blood, she did wonder where it was all coming from… she decided to try it out to see how it worked.

  “Graagh”

  As she failed to make a roar and all the other monsters started looking at her weird she blushed, before dismembering all the monsters nearby to try to eliminate the embarrassment. This time she just shouted, and this time it did work, she felt how a shock wave came from her mouth and all the monsters had problems running and were colliding with each other or trees.

  “This one’s fun”

  Iko laughed a bit at seeing a bunch of trees trip with wolfs and the blood, she decided to look at the other skills before she ended up in the floor laughing.

  [Corrupted Body]

  [The body encasing the End]

  [A onetime skill, once activated the user body will mutate to contain the powerful energy of the end, giving everything it touches an immediate end to their life’s, the user will become the warden to the end, having partial control over it, if you use this skill, you are forced to take care the end doesn’t escape.]

  [Warning. This skill will be activated immediately if the user is near death. Otherwise, it will be locked]

  This skill was much more serious than she thought, it was literally a world ending skill, and if she was near death, it would be activated automatically. So, she would become a world ending threat.

  “God dammit, why am I in the middle of this things ever since the attack? Now I wonder what the last skill will be…”

  [The M0/#3r’5 Embrace]

  [No Description available.]

  “huh, that’s weird… and what does the title do?”

  [|)4u6#/e3r]

  [No description available.]

  “that’s strange… I guess I got this 2 from that being… she was so powerful but instead of being trying to kill me… she hugged me and… it felt so… warm…”

  As Iko wondered what that meant, she felt a shiver down her spine, as she looked behind her. She saw it. The owner of this jungle…

  It was over 4 meter’s tall and over 10 long, it had the normal orange fur with black lines, but it’s eyes, they were special, they had a strange design of a claw, it make Iko want to bow down, even thought she was now a royal. The killing pressure was huge, it made Iko want to run, but she couldn’t move her body.

  Then, it talked.

  “You… you did this to my jungle?”

  Before she could do anything, a huge claw was about to her in pieces, she was able to block it thanks to Corrupted touch on her wings, blocking it, she was unscathed but she couldn’t say the same about the jungle, everything in a 50 meter radius disappeared, expect for her blood and the egg she hatched from, she noticed how Rakikas had a bit of corruption of it’s tail, but it wasn’t time for that, as Rakikas was confused as how she survived, she took off to the sky, far from where she was.

  Should i do next post to be images for the characters?
