Chapter: 26, Awakening
Noir was back in the familiar void of the Spell. He looked around to somehow see a vast luminous weave of 'something'. The essence strings were vast and complicated, that he couldn't understand even when having the [Spell Weave] as his own.
The spell whispered in his ears with its melodious voice -or something like that-
[The Second Seal is broken…]
[Awakening dormant powers…]
With it, Noir felt something awakening from within him. His dormant soul was now awakening. The powerful wave of something washed over him.
Every fiber of his being –which was already supreme- now, getting much more refined and becoming better than before. The mysterious energy filled his body and mind, making them clear and pure.
The mysterious energy transformed his soul with a gentle and wonderful feeling washing over him.
Soon the pulsating waves of heat retreated, replaced by a wave of coldness. Noir sighed (Why tf is he sighing so much!) and thought 'Excluding the will, I am physically stronger than a supreme.'
And for some damn reason, it was true. Don't know how it makes sense but right now, he can exchange blows with a supreme and not lose. The spell then interrupted
[Awakening Aspect Ability…]
[…Aspect Ability acquired.]
[Aspect Ability Name: Grafting.]
Noir quickly looked at his panel. The familiar name of the ability making him desperate with excitement
[Name: Noir.
True Name: Limitless
Rank: Awakened.
Soul Core: [1/??].
Memories: [Light blade], [Shadow blade]…..
Echoes:-- [Light Beast], [Shadow beast]...
Attributes: [Fateless], [Endless Regeneration], [Pain Immunity], [Lucky Hunt]….
Below his ability section, he saw the new ability and its description
Aspect Ability: [Grafting]
Ability Description: "You possess a power from an outer deity called 'The Fool'. 'He knows about your Existence, but is somehow helpless against you. Use this power to Change anything you wish."
Noir was so excited that he could dance at this moment. Ability like this can even make him stronger than Sacred beings, let alone A Supreme one.
Noir could imagine what his ascended ability will be like when his awakened ability is so broken.
Eventually, his time inside the space between dream and reality came to an end. And the world turned.

In Bastion, Morgan was still talking with Anahita in her bedroom when she suddenly noticed something unusual.
In the red sofa, something was happening to Anahita. Her body was becoming better and stronger. She recognized it all too well.
She has watched many sleepers awakening after they come back to the waking world. Anahita, who was a sleeper just some moments ago, is now awakening. But they're not in the waking world, so how is she awakening without leaving the dream realm all of a sudden.
After the mysterious energy dissipated, Anahita opened her eyes and looked around, finally landing on her. She smiled and said with her cute face "Sorry, you had to see this."
Morgan asked incredulously "What do you mean by sounding so casual? You just awakened without going through a gateway."
Anahita looked at her and said, shocking Morgan "Nothing much, my dad just wanted me to awaken quickly and I missed the time limit to awaken on my own."
"So?" Morgan asked.
"He forcefully awakened me."
"What!"
"My dad forcefully made me awakened."
Morgan became speechless. Forcefully awakened her? How strong is he to act like a God? As a daughter of one of the top great families, she knew that there is a natural way of awakening, like cultivation. The Nightmare spell was A Divine being who can give them a shortcut for awakening.
But here, this unknown girl she knew for less than a day is now saying her father forcefully made her awakened.
Bringing her back from her thoughts, Anahita said "Now, I only have little time or he will make me an Ascended."
Speechlessness overwhelmed Morgan. She has always believed herself to have a powerful and resourceful family as her backing. She can have any powerful memory she wants right now in the entire waking world. She can form a cohort with expert awakened or ascended warriors.
But now, in front of this fourteen year old girl, she feels like she's worse than a beggar. A Clan, where you can awaken any moment and even become Ascendent at any moment made her feel like a beggar.
"You can increase your rank anytime you want?" she asked
Anahita agreed and said "Yes, but only the first generation of the clan have this authority. But nobody really wants it. I and my siblings all want to challenge the trials of the nightmare spell because we won't be satisfied just becoming a supreme all of a sudden."
"Wait! You can become a supreme right at this moment if you want?"
"Not really. After raising your rank, you need a month to get used to the sudden increase in power. After that you can raise your rank again. And supreme rank is the maximum rank we can reach with my father's help. After that, we are on our own." She replied.
"How many children does your father have?" Morgan asked, if humanity can get at least five more Supremes' then their situation would get much better.
"I don't know." Anahita replied honestly.
"What do you mean you don't know? Aren't you guy's siblings? Why won't you remember how many of you are there?" Morgan asked incredulously.
"No, it's not that. Last time I checked was about two months ago and I had twenty four brothers and sisters. Now it might've already reached the hundreds."
Morgan stood there in silent shock. Ignore the matter of so many children, if only half or a quarter of that number becomes sovereign, Humanity will have enough capability to stop and repel the nightmare gates.
She excitedly asked "How many of them have become Supremes?"
Anahita shrugged, completely shattering her delusion "None of them. All of them chose to rank up together, so we all will become Supremes together."
Morgan slapped her head, why do all these children of the Divine family need to be brave? Can't they just be timid for a while and become Supreme? Did the power of Supremacy bite them or something that they are avoiding it like this?

In the waking world, the streets of the NQSC were lively as usual. The students in the school were just as lively.
There was still some time before the teacher came, so the students were out of their desks, chatting about mundane stuff that felt pretty important to them. The class was lively with whispers and the loud sound of others' chats.
On the window side, A girl with ebony hair and eyes and had pale skin, was sitting silently. Her close friend couldn't attend school today because she was sick.
Now, Rain was sitting alone with no one to talk to and it felt pretty lonely. It's not like she is on bad terms with the rest of the class but they were also not close enough to call 'friends'.
Today, the seat beside her where her friend used to sit was cleared. The class monitor told her that a new student had transferred to their class and was assigned to sit next to her.
Her friend has also agreed on the communicator, since now she was seated next to the boy she had a crush on, that she couldn't stop talking about when he was mentioned. Rain felt betrayed, but understood. She herself would've done the same, but a matter of regret that no boy in the entire school matched her interest.
She sighed; At least she didn't have to move. This has become her favorite seat after so much time here that it feels natural to be here.
Breaking her trance, the teacher entered the class and placed the material on the podium, he announced "Okay everyone. Get back to your seats. We have a new person joining us from this point on." He said as all the kids quickly went back to their seats.
When everyone was quiet, the teacher called out to someone behind the door. Soon, the door opened and a young and handsome boy with black hair and light eyes came into everyone's view.
He walked over and stood beside the podium and began to introduce himself. Every girl in the class blushed seeing the handsome boy, and Rain also felt something in her heart as she heard the boy's introduction
"Hello. It's nice to meet you all. I'm Suho, and I hope we get along well…"

In the Eternal Void of the starry sky, a gaunt man in a damaged suit looked at the Blue disc far away. His face was pale with fear as he moved his eyes toward the surrounding white dessert. He was shaking with fear as he mumbled something, but no sound came. If someone could hear him, they would've heard
"W-why? Why did it have to be this? And why is it here of all places?"
Far away from him, on a large crater in the white desert, there was a black seed of nightmare. If people on Earth were here, they would've recognized it as a rank six nightmare seed.
But what terrified the gaunt man wasn't this. It was something entirely different and much more terrifying than what he could imagine.
Right beside the seed, a terrifying monstrosity covered in black corrupted fog was sleeping as if waiting for something. Within the ears the gaunt man was here, he never saw it get away from that space, as if like a pet or something waiting for its owner. The gaunt man knew that the creature was aware of his presence, but remained seated.
If he could get close to it, he would've seen something horrifying. The beast was of the same rank, with which body the Demon of Dread made the Tomb of Ariel.
"An Unholy Titan."
