11 Light? Impure! (1/2)

Coral wanted to introduce the whole house to Ozul. But before she could say anything, Ozul found a room, and just collapsed on the bed.

Other things can wait.

When he woke up, it was midnight. He couldn't just go back to sleep. So, he checked out his surroundings.

Checking out the house, he could see that there were only two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living room. The living room had a fireplace. The whole house was kept clean and moderately decorated.

He quietly opened the other room to check that Old Carol was sleeping peacefully. He closed the door and went out of the house.

It was the first time he had seen night. In his warehouse, there was no night and no day.

Ozul only had one word to describe what he felt.

”Peaceful.”- Ozul said out loud.

—————————————

Ozuls POV.

-----------

I went out of the house. Night huh... It was the first time I had seen one.

It is beautiful. Darkness everywhere; There is serenity in the atmosphere. There is a unique feel to it; A feeling that you would not get in the daytime.

No annoying noises, no humans, and most importantly, no SUN! That Moon is beautiful but the Sun ruins it when it reflects sunlight on the Moon.

Only the occasional buzz of insects could be heard. At least, they are tolerable. How good it would have been if I was 'whole.'

No matter how peaceful the darkness is, there is always this feeling of emptiness.

Sooner or later, I will get back myself. But first, I have to become stronger. I can feel that my 'parts' are still alive.

Dibly had explained that Mages and Fighters had ten ranks. Fighters at rank-10 are rare, but with a little effort, you may find one. But a Mage of Rank-10? They are hidden powerhouses! Even only the Rank-9 Mages are Monarchs of their kingdoms.

After probing a bit further, I had concluded that my 'father' should be a 7th or 8th Rank Mage. Probably, the later.

He had crimson red hair. Dibly said that only the Abilon Family matches the description. The Abilon Family is a family of a Duke. He said that all the dukes in our kingdom are Rank-8 Mages.

Why would people in essential positions even reveal their power? Idiots. Well, it's my good fortune if they are idiots.

Hmm... now, how do I improve my abilities? It's funny how the only other ability I have other than Ball of Purity, is eating darkness.

Hm... Dibly said that there are cores generated at the hearts of magical beasts above rank-2. It contains pure mana. Maybe I can try eating them? I mean, if raw shadows can replenish me, Refined mana should only be better, right?

It's only a guess, well more like intuition, but I can only test it later.

Increasing the size of Ball of Purity could also help!

Ah... thinking so much is harmful to my health.

I sit down on the grass, resting my back against the apple tree.

Gazing to the sky, I see some annoying twinkles, but the only word that escaped my mouth was,

''Magnificent.''

Those twinkles are annoying, but the thing between them! Just so... so admirable!

Pure void. Just a look at that, and I feel my non-existent heart pounding!

At the same time, it's so confusing! Why do even the Pure Void feel like a part of myself!?

Even if I was somehow related to it, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Shouldn't 'I' feel like a part of it?
