《Absolute Power》Chapter 7

15/365 days
I don’t even remember when I came here. But according to Morgan its only been 15 days. I can’t even form a proper sense about time because all I have been doing is fighting and recuperating from my injuries. And keeping track of time in any of these situations is very difficult
Today Morgan dropped an info bomb on me again. He said that today was the only day I was not completely unconscious after reaching my burrow. If I had heard about this a little sooner, then I wouldn’t have to almost die to kill an injured Lv 11 hobgoblin.
According to him after any creature reach level 10, they gain a massive amount of EXP. Some use it to gain a new skill whereas some use it to directly reach or be infinitesimally close to Lv 11. There are a few species who can use that EXP to increase all their attribute simultaneously by 5 – 10 points. And the reason why any of this didn’t happen to me was because I wasn’t there to choose my direction, so the system did a lottery with a few options and “upgrade system” won. I am so glad I didn’t change my species or squander such a huge EXP for just my attributes.

I have finally formed a basic fighting style centered around Freyja and my legs. I realized that I was not using my legs enough after Freyja was knocked out of my hand while fighting a Lv 20 Troll.
I thought that I could kick it in the nuts and the grab Freyja, but that asshole wasn’t having any of it. It sacrificed its balls to get an extra hit on me. The only reason I survived was because my Martial All-rounder skill was at (basic) Lv 3, which gave me a 20% increase in attack power while using my legs, and the new skill I learned 10 days ago.
It is called body refinement. It’s the skill I can level-up fastest. All you need to do to level up is experience a certain amount of force using different parts of my body. For others, it is very difficult and costly to practice as you need someone to carefully measure the amount of force experience by various body parts, so there is least imbalance possible between them. But all I need to do is get beat up as much as I can, without dying of course.
Why? Simple, because I have the godly Morgan system. Due to his presence, my body acts more like an RPG game's character’s body. Due to this the damage done to any of my body parts is felt by my whole body and the amount of damage is equally spread.
Though there are some exceptions, like if someone hit me with such a huge force that it can severe my arm instantly, then my arm will be severed before Morgan could redistribute the damage.

“Morgan, why are magic skills so costly? Most of the magic skills are centred around 3500 sp but they are a mixture of weak and strong skills.”
[Aarav, its very simple. You are going to be a defender of Earth if you pass the trail. You are not a ruler or general who can sit back and command his armies. You can create your army if you want, but it will take a huge amount of rare resources and time. So, most defenders do it after they are strong enough to face the first few waves of the pesky demons alone. Also, only after a few waves, the number of weaklings is so much that they can affect the flow of battle.

As such you will be on the front lines most of the time, so being physically weak is not an option.
Magicians are versatile and very useful. They can single-handedly change the outcome of a battle, but those magicians have been given enough time and resources to bloom. And by enough time, I mean centuries. The richest country on Earth can’t even support a single Lv 100 magician.
The company seeks to profit by your and earth’s survival. You will be clearer about it after you pass the trial. So, focus on doing that.]

Today I am in a very happy mood. I completed a new hidden mission. It is called One-Man-Army 2. I got it after I fought an army comprised of more than 5,000 Lv 25 – Lv 27 Ogre Warriors and Ogre Shamans.
I had obtained part one when I had killed over 500 lv 10 earth gnomes a long time ago. And it gave me a 30% bonus to all my attributes while fighting any kind of group with more than 100 people, so I was looking forward to its upgrade very eagerly.
Now I get a 50% bonus while fighting a group with more than 100 people.
But after today I have decided to improve my curse resistance. I Almost died a few times because of no skill for curse resistance, but fortunately, there was only one that actually hit me. But fortunately, it was just a mental curse for degrading your morals and changing you into a submissive slave.
Since I formed a soul bond with Freyja, my soul attribute has been increasing by 1 point every day and now it is at 114 points and my willpower is 35 points. So, nothing happened except a nasty headache.
I have already wiped out four armies since I have come here, and I have become very proficient in doing this. I wonder if I will complete some kind of hidden achievement after defeating 5 armies.

“Mrs Red Dragon, please don’t struggle so much and sign a summoning pact with me. You know that we can do this the whole day.”
The 10 meters long western dragon, which at some point in time was covered in beautiful and shining red scales, was now red due to all the blood flowing out from her various wounds surrounded by broken scales and scratch marks.
I was not in a much better shape either. My left hand was looking more like a meat paste than a human limb. My whole body was covered with varying degrees of burn. Even Freyja was hurt, though she kept recovering easily by absorbing the red dragon’s blood.
“Look I don’t want you to be my slave or anything. You can see that I already have a soul partner and how strong our bond is. No one can ever use Freyja as a weapon, unless both of us want it.”
The glare didn’t diminish but at least she didn’t attack. I have realized that being solo can only bring you so far. I need help to complete this trial. And I thought what would be a better partner than a dragon.
“I want us to be partners. You must have noticed that there is a very large gap between Lv 100 and Lv 101, right?
We will eventually get there unless we do something stupid and die. But it will take a long time. I am very short on time and that is true for every creature in this dimension.”

I looked directly into her eyes with all my conviction and said, “Please, I request you to be my soul partner.”
Suddenly Mrs Dragon started shining like crazy, and without thinking about anything else I rushed out of her cave so that I could have a better chance of surviving whatever was to come.
After some time of waiting and running my paranoia-o-creator at full speed nothing happened. Just as I started relaxing my vigilance a very beautiful and charming mature woman appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Her whole body seemed to be covered in shades of red. Her long and wavy maroon hair, her scarlet plump lips and those deep eyes that seemed held the most crimson flame I had ever seen in my life. I realized that I was staring at her completely inappropriately. But her curves were way too much for a virgin boy like me. Finally, exhausting every ounce of mental energy I had, I moved my eyes away from her body.
It was the first and the last time I loved someone at first sight. Why? Simply because no one could ever compare to my wives in terms of looks….at least in my eyes.
“You sure have guts to propose a dragon to be your soul partner while completely showing off your bond with your soul partner.”
She licked her lips, and I swear to gods that it is the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my life. She appeared in front of me in a flash. But since I couldn’t feel any hostility, so I didn’t move away.
“But I like your power and your honesty. And it’s also a bonus that you are a virgin, so I Emilia Ri Scarlet of house Scarlet Fire Dragons, agree to be your soul partner forever and ever.”
She gently lifted my chin with her finger and gave me the best french kiss in the world. After that everything became a beautiful blur in my memory. I could feel our emotions mixing together. My curiosity and fear about the unknown, her confidence and excitement. Slowly before we even realized it, it changed from my to ours.
And at the end all I saw was a pair of beautiful crimson eyes, which filled with incomparable warmth, gently coaxing me to sleep. So, I closed my eyes and let myself go.
Later I would realize that I have lost my virginity today as well as I have taken a fire dragon as my wife. I was devasted because I couldn’t remember anything, but Emilia helped me recreate the memory sometime later.
On this very day, I was also the creator of a yandere scythe, who likes to rape me in my own mind whenever there’s a chance. But thanks to that my willpower increased by a few points, so I just thought of it as a blessing in disguise. I mean the sex was awesome so...................

“Morgan help me buy that Elixir.”
Although 10,000 sp is a lot but if it can save Valerie, I have no regrets. And this Elixir will not only heal her but add 40 years more to her life. It will also make her body reach the most peak state she ever was, so it should also make her look around 25 years old. Not only that, if she trains her body then she will gain twice the benefit with half the effort.
A pretty good deal if I say so myself.
[Aarav you got a free lucky draw ticket because you have bought 50 items that cost 300 sp or more.]
“Most of them are soul condensing pills for a certain childish weapon, who only knows how to trouble her partner. Am I right Aarav?” A smoky voice sounded beside my ear.
It always baffles me how much Emilia’s behaviour around me has changed within a couple of months. Although it has changed her personality at all, but she always tries her best to act as a capable and reliable figure in front me.
The only catch is that Emilia and Freyja don’t like each other a lot. Although they don’t hate each other but they bicker at every chance they get. And my mind has become the battlefield for them.
‘You homewrecker! If not for your big, fat and useless body, how could master waste so many sp on fire element crystals.’
‘Did you just call me fat? You flat chested bitch, I hope your boobs never grow.’ I have become very efficient at ignoring their stupidity after repeated exposure.
According to them, I’m the one at fault as I am trying to create a harem. I wanted to let them know that it all started with a misunderstanding, but whenever I looked at those warmth filled crimson eyes, my resolve to take the truth to grave became stronger and stronger.
“Morgan start the lucky draw.”
Darkness surrounds me and a wheel appears in front of me. There are six options on it and the wheel starts spinning at a high speed. But now due to my improved attributes, I can somewhat make out the different sections on the wheel.
I give a quick prayer, aim at the skill book section, and throw the dart as accurately as I can.
The wheel comes to a stop and a smile breaks out on my face because I notice that the dart is very close to the boundary of skill book section. A few more millimetres and I would miss one more chance for skills.
The dart appears in my hand again. The sections on the wheel blur for a second and clear up to show countless sections with countless skills.
I throw the dart without much thinking because this part truly depends on the luck.
Last time I got a pencil from the miscellaneous section and it felt pretty bad.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the skill book Galaxy’s Birth. Practising this skill requires absorbing energy in a regulated manner either from a sun, moon, or star. According to the lore, a person can give birth to a galaxy inside their body core / dantian if they practice this skill to the pinnacle.]
“How will this skill affect my status panel?”
[This skill increases your energy level, as well as energy regen and that in turn, will affect all your attributes. But again, this skill requires a lot of time and patience.]
“Morgan, I would like to learn it.”
[Aye]

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.
