I was alive, warm, feeling a tremendous power inside me.

"Are you the voice that talked to me? My brother?" I asked the little creature with giant horns.

I wondered, staring at it.

(The floor, walls and ceiling of this room are all part of me, my body, so how is this creature of the same kind as me?)

"A sort of it, well, how do I explain it?"

It paused it's speech for a moment, thinking of what to say.

"I am using one of our races power!" Said the creature.

"Okay" I said. "Could you explain better? A few more details wouldn't hurt."

"Its a bit complicated to explain, I think it is better for you to learn it." He suggested to me. "These creatures are called Imps, and we are its makers, in turn they are our most trusted minions."

"Does that mean that I can also create an Imp?"

(For some reason, the thought of having minions, brings me pleasure!)

"Yes, but first you must remember the knowledge for it, my only advice is that you focus on thinking about the word info, deep in your thoughts, you must desire info, focus!"

Once again, by his words, I focused, but this time, on info.

(Give me info. I want to see it!)

Focus...

Two minutes later as I stared at the blue Imps, I noticed something different.

(What is that?)

On that moment, there were floating numbers on top of the Imps.

"Why do I see numbers on top of your Imps?" I asked my kin.

"You can see them already?!" The horned Imp shouted in surprise.

"Yes, you have a 10, and the other two have a 3 and a 2!"

"Good! You are almost there! Those numbers are the levels of the Imps!" He informed me while smilling. "Keep it up, and you will get there!"

With the three Imps staring at me, I kept focusing.

Suddenly a tab appeared on my front.

A piece of memory has been recovered!

Resource UI recovered and activated!

Heart Core info is now available!

Minion tab unlocked!

Spell tab unlocked!

Room tab unlocked!

Imp spawn is now available!

Possession spell is now available!

(Wow, that is alot of new stuff?)

"I got alot of new things!" I informed the blue Imps.

"Thats good!" The level 10 Imp said, but on that moment, he looked backwards to the tunnel while two other imps walked out of my room.

"Is there something wrong?"

At my question the horned Imp put on a smile, a big evil smile.

"It seems I got guests visiting me, take your time checking your new things, I will be returning shortly!" He informed me.

Then the Imp's blue aura disappeared, seeming weaker than before.

(Well, I guess ill play around with what I got?)

(The Resource UI, it said it was activated, I guess, it's the thing showing on the right top of my mind?)

On the top right, it showed me what I had, wich was 0 gold and 250/250 mana.

(What was next? Heart Core info?)

A second later, with thought of the Heart Core info in my mind, it immediately showed me a tab.

Name: Red

Race: Heart Core

Level: 1

Mana: 250/250

Mana Regeneration: 1 per minute

Gold: 0

Minions: 0

Rooms: 0

Spells: 1

(The more I try to learn, the more confused I get, my name is Red? I am only level 1? What the fuck is mana? Whats gold and why I don't have any of it?)

At least I knew what was minions, rooms and spells.

(Minion tab!)

Imp (0)

Cost: 100 mana

Upkeep: 50 mana

Max level: 10

Basic Info:

Minion worker that can claim territory.

Does not require food or sleep.

(So I can only afford two of them right? And the max that I can have is 5? Isn't that kind of expensive?)

It frustrated me a bit, but then again, I was creating living creatures.

(Well, to hell with it, give me two imps!)

Suddenly, a confirmation tab appeared.

Creating two Imps will cost you 200 mana and decrease your total mana to 150.

Do you wish to proceed?

Yes? No?

(Yes!)

With amazing speed, two fire spirits split from my Heart core, flying out of me, reaching the bottom of the stone altar and went in circles, forming two tiny fire tornados.

As the fire tornados dissipated, my first minions came out of them, two Red Imps.

(Level 1 Imps, they seem so weak, so skinny, those tiny horns, well, its better than nothing right? Now let's try moving them!)

The next moments were enjoyable, with me ordering them around, to jump, dance and run around the room, I could see throughout the Imps eyes as they obeyed every command that came from my thoughts.

(This is awesome! That mana was well spent!)

(Oh, wait a second, did the blue imps had extra skin in their back? And numbers on their left shoulder?)

Checking the Imps better, their back had extra skin, wich could be puled out, leaving a space, it was like a big pocket or a backpack.

Inside of each Imp's back, was a pickaxe.

Both the red Imps had the number 8 tattoed in their left shoulders, I looked closer at the blue Imp that remained, he had the number 5 on his left shoulder.

(I think Ill ask him about these numbers when he returns?)

I decided to wait for my kin to return, while I would slowly check the rest.

(Show Heart Core info!)

Name: Red

Race: Heart Core

Level: 1

Mana: 56/150 (-100)

Mana Regeneration: 1 per minute

Gold: 0

Minions: 2

Rooms: 0

Spells: 1

(Seems like I got 6 mana back, too bad for the upkeep.)

(Rooms!)

There are no Rooms available.

(Are you kidding me? Why give me something that I cant even use? Oh wait, It did say zero...)

(Spells!)

Possession spell

Cost: 5 mana

Using this spell will allow the Heart Core possess a minion of its choosing.

There was no upkeep for this spell, but it costed 5 mana everytime its used.

(I guess I could try it? Sounds fun! Or should I wait until he returns?)

For 3 minutes I waited undecided, but the desire that I had to use this spell, grew every second as I looked at my Imps.

(Fuck it, Possession spell!) I decided to use the spell as I stared at my Imp on the right.

On that moment, a fire aura surrounded the Imps legs, and the spell result was immediate.

"Fucking cool!" My voice came out of the Imps mouth, I had now two bodies at the same time, I felt like a child who had a new toy to play with.

"Ahaha!" I kept laughing and jumping, moving the Imps arms, legs and tail randomly like I was a clown.

"I am back!" Spoke the blue Imp that stood still all this time.

"Welcome back!" I told him at the moment I noticed from the eye of my heart that the blue aura had returned to the blue Imp.

"A nice job on summoning and possessing an Imp, you are lucky to spawn close to me, if you were alone, all that you have done until now, would take at least one week, maybe more!" Said the blue Imp with a joker smile.

"Yes, thank you!" Until now he hasn't been wrong, but I did wonder about one thing.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked the Blue Imp.

"Yes, of course, I will help with what I can." The blue Imp said.

"You called me Red, right? Is that my name? Whats your name? And what are those numbers on the Imps?" I inquired him.

"How do I explain it? Well, its not that our kind is terrible with names, its just that we didn't really care about them and that they started to matter only after we left the Void, since we all have different colors, it was decided that if we had names, they would be the name of our color!"

"Regarding the numbers, it seems every minion has them depending to wich Heart Core they belong to."

"Soooo, your name is Blue?"

"Yes, Ahahah!" He confirmed it, ending with a laugh.

"Cool, so what do I do now, Blue?"

Blue's Imp smiled like a joker.

"You can now try to expand your territorial body."
