Chapter 18 - Souls and the Past.

When Max woke up, he was no longer inside the mysterious room. His wounds had closed, and he was outside the room back in front of the glowing lake. When he looked down, he nearly jumped back in shock.

 

"My reflection. Why do I look like this what's happened to me?" Max touched his face as he could see his left eye had turned a shade of blue as deep as the ocean while his right eye was as red as blood. His hair had grown a couple inches and now was jet back with hints of blue throughout.

 

Max closed his eyes and focused trying to bring his stats up in his mind.

 

[Name: Max]


[Title: ???]

[Age: 19]

[Health: 100/100]

[Strength: ???]

[Speed: ???]

[Mana: ???]

[lightning resistance: ?%]

[Magic Points: Reset to 0]

[skill points: removed]

 

[System Evolving and Rebooting]

 

"What's going on… my stats have changed drastically. Nothings showing up anymore. My skill points are gone, and my health took a gigantic leap from what a humans capable of."

 

[Probably because you're not human anymore boy.]

 

"Who's there?!" Max jumped up and looked around but could see nobody.

 

[Keep looking you'll never find anything.]

 

"Inside my head?"

 

[To think they have made a school based on magic and even placed an artificial intelligence supercomputer inside your body. Technology sure has advanced since my times. I've done you the favor of destroying the device that was fused to your veins. You won't be getting information anymore like you used to. Your silly little spells as well are all gone now too since that seemed to be fusing with your brain nicely. Human beings. So fragile. So weak. Cunning and clever as always though. There were no drawbacks to anything you had inside your body, but I had to get rid of it all to make more room for myself. Don't worry though I can recreate most spells into natural abilities for you. That ancient spell you had bonded with your soul, so it'll be simple for ME to give you information now instead when need be.]

 

"Who are you and get out of my body!"

 

[No can do. You accepted the contract remember. Maybe not willingly but I'm tired of being stuck down here. Thousands of years without me seeing the light of day. What's a poor girl like me to do, I don't belong down here. You are weak and would be dead without me. You have no power but now that I've gotten rid of the fake soul, they planted inside you and have given you mine, I hope you can learn quickly, or I'll have to just take over your body for my own. That could be fun.]

 

Max couldn't believe his eyes as his arm started to move on its own slowly grasping around his neck and squeezing with such power, he wasn't sure was even his before abruptly releasing and falling back to his side leaving him out of breath and coughing.

 

[Anytime I want to kill you I can but that would mean killing myself so yes try to get along with me ok. My names Raven. I was sealed in that book far away where nobody would ever find me. Fearful of the death and rivers of blood and chaos I used to cause now I'm just curious to see the world. I won't be against you unless you give me a reason too. For a woman like me the last thing I want to do is control a disgusting weak man's body. For starters I am a descendent of an ancient water dragon clan thanks to my mother. My father was a vampire though, so I am not a pure bred of either race only half. It seems some of my traits have passed onto you in your eyes and hair. I'll suppress your eyes so nothing strange happens when you meet people, turning them back to your normal dark brown. When using my powers though it will sometimes slip out. That is if you ever learn to control anything I used to be capable of. You might as well be a newborn baby right now with an overly large health pool. It'll be fun to sit back and watch how you handle this.]
