Will of chaos

I was on the balcony of my room thinking about what skills I could synthesize, I waited until now when I didn’t have any worries in my head to do so, so I can think more clearly about that skill.

As I was thinking I was looking at my status to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything, that’s when I saw two similar abilities.

Let me identify these two skills before synthesizing them together so I’ll have a reference to compare the before and after.

<[ Skills identification result:

[ Reinforced thread production: 1 ]–> Produces a strong silk thread that comes out of the owner’s mouth or fingers.

The line becomes thinner, sharper, and stronger using Ki through it.

COST: (-5) Ki per second to produce line.

COST: (-10) Ki every ten seconds to make the line thinner and sharper.

[ Magic thread production: 2 ]–> Produces a strong sticky thread that comes out of the mouth or fingers.

The line can become strong and hard or sticky and sticky using the owner’s mana to control it.

COST: (-5) MP per second to produce a sticky and sticky line.

COST: (-10) MP per second to make the line strong and stiff.

Now that I know the information for this skill I have to synthesize it and see how it works exactly.

I imagine the two abilities in my head and think about activating the ability [ Synthesis: 1 ], at that moment a notification appears in my vision.

Ding!

<[ Activating Synthesis ]>

.

.

<[ Searching for selected targets ]>

.

.

<[ Targets found ]>

.

.

<[ Do you want to synthesize the skills [ Enhanced Line Production: 1 ] and the skill [ Magic Line Production: 2 ]? ]>

.

<[ Yes / No ]>

“(Yes.)” (I)

Ding!

<[ Choose the energy you want to use for synthesis:

Mana: -50

Ki: -50

Spiritual power: -80

]>

So that’s how I choose the energy I’m going to use, I must admit it’s very intuitive to use, it even shows the amount of energy each one will use.

I can also see that I would expend more spiritual energy, probably because these abilities are not compatible with that energy.

I choose to use mana.

Ding!

<[ Starting synthesis ]>

At this moment I feel something inside me blending, this feeling is strange but it’s not harming me and soon it’s over.

Ding!

<[ Summary completed ]>

.

.

<[ [ Enhanced Line Production: 1 ] X [ Magic Line Production: 2 ] = [ Magic Enhanced Line Production: 1 ] ]>

“(So this is my new skill?)” (I)

I think about identifying this new ability.

<[ Skill identification result:

[ Magic reinforced thread production: 1 ]–> produces a normal or strong adhesive thread that comes out of the owner’s mouth or fingers.

The line can become hard, sticky, and sharp using the owner’s mana or Ki to control it.

The power of this line depends on the skill level, the amount of Mana and Ki used by the owner.

It is also possible to use mana or elemental Ki through the line during your production to give elemental effects.

COST: (-5) Ki or MP per second to produce line.

COST: (-10) Ki or mana every ten seconds to make the line thinner, sharper, sticky, or stiff.

It seems that the skill is not only a fusion of the two skills but it is also stronger than the two previous skills.

I’m happy to see that this skill is exactly what I wanted, but the feeling I felt when the two skills were merged worries me, I could feel them moving inside me and merging, it was very strange and disconcerting.

But what worries me is what will happen if I merge two bloodlines?

sigh

I’ll find out tomorrow night, I’m planning to use synthesis every night before bed, it seems to be very dangerous to use this skill in places that I don’t know are safe as it can leave me low on health or energy.

So I’m just going to do this before I sleep in safe places.

Now I’m going to have to think about what skills and lineages I’m going to merge, I’m going to take some time thinking about it, I don’t need to be in a hurry.

I look at this landscape, I look at this mist-covered garden, I look at these mist-covered trees and I look at the scary bird flying towards me.

I raise my hand and the bird that looks like a silent shadow flying through the night comes towards me without making a sound, then it lands on my hand.

Caw-caw

“Looks like Nira already went to sleep so you’re away from her at this time, isn’t it, Yomi?” (I)

The crow shakes his head up and down, he understands what people say, just as Nira told me Yomi’s race is intelligent.

I pat his head a little.

“Have you enjoyed living here?” (I)

He shakes his head up and down several times.

“I’m glad about that, by the way, you like the miasma of this mansion, don’t you?” (I)

Once again Yomi nods in agreement.

“I don’t normally care about that, but the nightmare I had that last night nearly gave me a heart attack.” (I)

“But who can blame me for having such a nightmare living in this mansion, look at this landscape for example.” (I)

“It’s beautiful, but it looks like the landscape from a horror movie, this giant mansion isn’t the most inviting place at night either.” (I)

Sigh

“(I just hope I don’t have other nightmares like that.)” (I)

“You can go, I’ll sleep soon.” (I)

Yomi flies from my hand and I see him go around the mansion through the sky, maybe he can be going to Nira’s room.

I spend a few more minutes watching the stars before entering my room and sitting on the bed.

“(Tomorrow I have to get up early as we’re going to the dungeon again.)” (I)

I lay my head down on my pillow and cover myself with a sheet.

“(Time to sleep.)” (I)

I close my eyes and give in to my sleep.

Zzzzzzz…

zzzzzz…

zzzz…

———-

When I opened my eyes I was a little confused, but soon I hear the noise of heavy rain and lightning, so I look around and see the furniture that isn’t mine.

“That’s not…” (I)

I immediately understood where I was, I was having that nightmare again, I don’t know why this is happening again, I didn’t even like horror movies in my previous life, could it be that this is influenced by the miasma of this house?

I would like to be standing in this room since I know I’m going to be scared if I start walking around the mansion in this nightmare, but I’m too anxious to be standing still.

I get up and walk to the door, as soon as I leave the room I know something is different from the last time, the pictures of people I don’t know and the expensive furniture are still all over the hall, but this time some of them are destroyed by claw marks.

“… … …” (voice)

“… … …” (voice)

I hear you coming from a room, this time I approach cautiously, I won’t make the same mistake as the last time I open the door, I just get close enough to hear what these voices are saying.

“I finally found a way to save her.” (mysterious woman A)

“Are you sure this time?” (mysterious man)

“We’ve tried so many things, but it never gets better.” (mysterious woman B)

“I’m sure this time.” (mysterious woman A)

I overheard a conversation between three people coming from this room which is the same room in the previous dream.

Brrr boom!

Suddenly I hear the sound of Thunder and a momentary flash comes from the window after the flash disappears the door before it was all broken in half with big claw marks that crossed the door until I could see the other side.

“…” (I) 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

“(I’m sure I’m going to die of a heart attack by the end of this dream this time.)” (I)

While in shock from fright I started pinching my arm in an attempt to wake up from this nightmare, but to no avail.

“… … …” (voice)

I hear a loud sound of voices shouting from downstairs if I’m not mistaken it’s coming from the library maybe.

I look through the claw marks on the door into the room but don’t see anyone again inside the room.

The worst thing is that I still feel like I’m continually being watched.

Even though I’m scared I can’t stop my curiosity and anxiety, so I go down to the second floor and head towards the voice I was hearing that was actually coming from the library.

“You want me to steal it from my own brother!!!” (mysterious man)

“We have no choice, we need that item to save her, I and the others get the other things we need.” (mysterious woman A)

“But even if I manage to use what we already have to save her, her lifespan will be very short, we need the item her brother keeps in the safe for her to have a longer life.” (mysterious woman A)

“I…I understand, but stealing from my brother is still…” (mystery man)

“You know that even if you ask, he won’t give you this item.” (mysterious woman A)

“Alright, I accept any punishment after we save her.” (mysterious man)

Before I could get near the library I could hear their discussion from afar, this was the same man from upstairs, by the voice I could also tell it was the same man from the last nightmare, the woman was the first woman who spoke on the floor from above too.

As the conversation became calmer and their voices subsided I had to get closer to the library door to hear them, in the end, I was in front of the door and once again they stopped talking.

Brrr boom! Brrr boom!

I hear once more the roar of thunder coming from outside and a flash comes from the window, the brief moment my vision was obstructed the library door is shattered to pieces, I look into the library and see the books lying around and claw marks on shelves and walls.

I could also see that the library was empty once more, at that moment darkness takes over the library and two red lights light up inside the darkness-like eyes, so from the darkness a voice like the man who listened before can be heard.

“This time I will save her, now Daddy knows what he needs to do.” (mysterious man)

The darkness starts to get closer and closer to me, I look around but the corridors are covered with darkness coming towards me.

“Daddy will bring you what you need my dear, whatever it takes.” (mysterious man)
