6 Chapter 6: The Black Emblem (2/2)

”Accept what your eyes see, and choose what is in front of you.” Replied the Darkness as it set the boy down on the ground, knowing that things were fundamentally about to change for the boy forever.

Blinking in recovery, Luca saw the visage of a screen over his eyes, obscuring his vision as words and numbers appeared. Is this screen what the shadow meant by accepting and saying yes?

Reward: Racial Change

Notification: Acceptance Status

Do you accept? Yes/No

Luca did as he had been instructed and led to do by Amarath. He didn't question the reality of the prompt he saw before his eyes, choosing to accept what he saw as real. It hardly would make sense for me to draw the line here at what I can believe in, not after everything I've seen and been through. Reading over the text, Luca frowned at the wording. On an instinctual level, Luca knew that whether he liked the terms or not, whether he really understood the implications or not, saying no was not an option. Luca knew if he said no, the immortal monster in the dark would kill him without hestitation, if not thrust upon him some ghastlier fate. In his heart, something else had appeared. It was not quite courage, but something else altogether. Luca possessed an overwhelming desire to live and a desire to accept the power this deal would bring him. He mentally selected yes, and the screens quickly disappeared, replaced by another.

Notification: Affirmation of Choice

Details: Have you been coerced into acceptance?

Yes/No

The way this screen was worded made Luca second guess his choice a bit, but he had already made up his mind and quickly selected No to the question of coercion. The answer was clearly yes, but the semantics didn't matter. He wanted this deal to happen.

Notification: Quest Updated – The Chosen of Amarath

Reward: Legendary Class Granted: Angel of Death

Racial Change: Nephilim

The last notification lingered for just a few moments. As soon as it vanished, Luca doubled over in pain as more energy pulsed from within the obsidian colored emblem that was embedded beneath his flesh. The force exerted by the emblem tore the skin from Luca's body as Luca clenched his fists in refusal to acknowledge the pain. Luca's limbs stretching as his body was remade into something else altogether.

All around Luca, the darkness and its shadows began to disappear as Luca felt the sensation of being transported to somewhere else, though still within the same plane of existence, the inner realm of the World Dungeon. Yet, before Amarath faded completely, it spoke one last thing. ”Upon thee child, I give a new name. You are to be Seraph, and I charge you to complete this dungeon and seize for yourself the Altar of the End. Then and only then will you find the insatiable hunger that for the power that gnaws at you even now satisfied. Survive, you are to become the sum of all men.”

Even as his body was wracked with pain, he still understood the words more as a mental instruction than as a sound. With nothing further said, Luca, collapsed on the ground as his body changed. Writhing around on his belly, unable to respond. He passed out as the tip of black wings erupted through the skin near his shoulder blades and began to grow.
