Rorry was very worried.

Last night a great battle had taken place, the entire village had been shaken and a flash of black had blotted out the sky. The Subjugators at the time just finished slaying the infected beasts and decided to investigate the source of the black flash. Soon they saw a picture of pure carnage, at its center was a small singed crater and a round black ball.

Circling overhead was a huge flock of birds who were taking turns pecking and defecating on a strange black ball. After the Subjugators entered the clearing the birds flew away, seemingly satisfied.

As the Subjugators got closer they found the small ball to be made of a tough silk like substance.

They later found a broken amber colored object, a Hiveportal. The Subjugators were immensely relieved that it had been broken. They also found many pieces of broken chitin and four insect limbs, two of which are thought to be those of a large spider, and the tail and arm of a Rotten Princess. (If you haven't already realized, the Rot is the name of Bio-Demons in this world). A large puddle of the Princess's blood was also found, and the Subjugators pronounced the Princess dead and the situation taken care of.

A Subjugator clean up crew later turned up and began repairing the damages to the forest.

Upon further inspection the black ball seemed to be a cocoon of sorts holding a humanoid body, they then cut into it carefully revealing a child's face. They were unable to properly remove the cocoon, though the child was soon identified by the villagers as the son of Steve and Lucy Crash and promptly returned to them.

That had been days ago, though Chris appeared alive he seemed to be in a coma of sorts. Mr and Mrs Crash had been baffled. Though worried, they were reassured he was still alive and Mrs Crash frantically began searching for any medicine to wake him or something to cut the odd black cocoon.

Rorry had meanwhile lamented on their time spent together. Chris had been a good man and a great friend! [...kid...] his eyebrows wrinkled 'I must be so worried I'm hearing things!' [Kid!] 'WOAH!' he stood abruptly, causing a commotion.

He had been sat at home in the main room at the time and his brothers and sisters glanced at him with concern and pity. He zoned out, then rushing to his room and locking the door behind him. He dropped to his knees, "OH GREAT SPIRIT! WHAT IS IT YOU WISH!?" [Oh God, what an idiot. Pipe down jackass] he flushes scarlet, embarrassed "Sorry!" he whispered. [Oh for fucks sake just speak normally] "Oh! Okay." [Right... Look kid, I'm obviously a real badass spirit right, so you just gotta shut your mouth and do as I say, got that?] "Ohhhh! Yes! Great spirit, your wish is my command!" [I can't believe you're serious, this is ridiculous. Alright I'm gonna need you to listen real carefully...]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*gasp* I leap to my feet with a shout and check my surroundings, I was in the middle of Sirin at the water fountain. *rumble* A heavy roiling fog hung over the large and empty village. I felt a tugging sensation (Over here!). I let out a sigh of relief as I started making my way through the ghost town. Standing before the door of my humble abode, I open the door, marching up the stairs and charging into my room. (Welcome to our new Dreamspace!) said Self Notes sat on my bed, she was wearing a plain white t-shirt, shorts and steel toed boots. Cute and soft featured, her waist length black hair completely straight, only curling at the edges and her silver eyes enveloping me with a warm feeling.

Standing on the ceiling, hair and clothes defying gravity was Shadow, he was also dressed similarly in a plain black t-shirt, black slacks and barefoot. He had fluffy black hair, a youthful face, black eyes and his odd gray skin. He wore his usual arrogant smirk.

And finally, leaning against the wall was Mirror dressed in a short skirt and blue hoody, pinkish skin a stark contrast against the pale of the other two. She had angular face with small features, better than average looks, just sort of creepy. Her blueish white hair was cut shoulder length this time. She was currently glaring at Shadow.

Mirror glanced at me, \Yo, finally the guest of honor has arrived/ *snorts* "Explanation?" [Um ya, sorry for almost killing you] I scowled "You fucking asshole." (Yup, Shadow, you are pretty much an established asshole, its official!) [Yeah sorry] *sigh* "That's in the past, so lets just fucking forget about it. So, what happened?" (Your body is safe don't worry boss! It was in critical condition before, but your body has stabilized, so don't worry!) "How long was I out?" [Five days] "Ugh." (Well now that's out of the way, we have things to talk about) "Um that sounds bad, have I been a bad boy? Am I going to be punished?" I ask sarcastically [Kid, we're leaving. Shazzam] I raised my eyebrows "Leaving?" \Uh yeah, see, we can't fully use our power through your body and can't properly protect you. So... We were thinking of finding some suitable hosts and switching out/ "What." (Don't worry, we'll keep seeing each other here when you sleep. And hey, hopefully this will motivate you to get stronger!) \Yeah though we'll be bringing our hosts together, so we can watch you properly. To be honest it'll take us decades to get back to our former power and we don't have the time/ [Ah yeah we also gave you a few 'gifts' and uh, upgrades. Awesome right? No need to restrain yourself!] I rolled my eyes "So what upgrades did I get?" [Well, we or rather Little Notes and Mirror upgraded your Storage Void, its a lot bigger now. It could probably hold your entire house. They also fused it with your Soul Interface, and then kind of fused that with...] "Sorry could you repeat that, I didn't hear." [...Your soul...] "Pardon?" \He said we fused it with your soul, so now you got access to an inventory the size of a house at all times and you can always check your status, and no one can take it from you/ "Wow."

(I know right! It took us a month to get an early prototype going, there were issues...) [Aren't you worried we fused some experimental device with your fucking SOUL?] "Erm, when you put it like that... Oh! Wait! I forgot, Shadow what do you think I'll get when I -- the Princess?" [Um about that? Its kind of gone now] "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY CORPSE!!!" [Shit, sorry. NO! Why the hell am I apologizing!? You fucking leeched it off me anyway!] *SMACK* Mirror punches us both in the arm. \Stop running your mouth's you little brats!/ he winces. (Yeah. Anyway. Just consider the corpse payment for the upgrades, I'm sure you'll appreciate them when you see them!)

Self Notes and Mirror disappear. \See ya boss! We both have some work to do/, I stare at Shadow "Well? Don't leave me HANGING. Haha. Ha." [Hehehe. He. Hehe. Right... So. I was thinking of offering my services while we have the time] "Services? Ewww!" [Not like that, you freak! I meant training!] "Oh! Cool, sure!" [Anyway we have a month to train] "A MONTH!? I can't be gone that long!" [Don't worry, time here is very different, anyway. Skill experience here will carry over as will mental stats, this is a great chance for you] "Are you seriously just gonna stay there. I mean isn't that rude?" he raises his eyebrows [Rude? Have I ever passed up the chance to be 'Rude'?] "..." he jumped from the ceiling, landing upright. Smiling devilishly he said [Let. The. Training. Begin!].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking from my coma I felt surprisingly normal. I opened my eyes. I was a laying upon a bed with my body armored in a tight black cocoon. Shadow had kept my body safe. As I woke up though the silk began compressing into my body taking the form of black form fitting clothes. Looking around I realize I'm in the Chief's house, I can faintly hear voices. I call my up my Interface and a white paper-like window appeared in front of me.

It was mostly my combat skills that had risen in level. Though there were also a few new skills that made me smile nostalgically. I had also gained a few traits with their tinkering, no doubt my 'gifts'.

--

You are one of the nocturnal predators of night, only blood and meat can quench your hunger and thirst.

'Great!' one the best things about being a ghoul is that you don't need the toilet! Pureblood Ghouls have no bladder or intestines and survive solely on blood and meat. Unlike Lesser Ghouls they don't need to survive on a solely human diet.

--

You will have good starting relations with all spider type creatures.

You have also been bestowed venomous fangs and eight extra spider limbs.

'Ugh, I don't know what to think about that' I checked my appearance with the interface. A pair of fangs were poking out from under my lips, my red and green irises had enlarged like Father's, almost filling the entire eye, the pupils were slit and I found myself able to easily see in the dark room. Behind me were eight spider legs, like Shadow's only they had extra armored segments and were green. 'It'll take me a while to get used to this!' I managed to fold them against my back, though it was very uncomfortable. There seemed to be eight holes along my back on my new black spider-silk clothes. 'Convenient'

--

Through harsh training you have reforged your body.

Resistant to cold and hot climates.

Resistant to injuries.

It is easier to gain Physical Stats.

'Not bad'

--

You submissively follow all orders through till the end, never giving up.

'Sounds like a backhanded compliment...'

--

You are able to very quickly absorb knowledge through books with great speed and ease.

'Cool!'

--

For surviving in the wilderness and being taught the dangers of infected boar meat you are now slightly less stupid.

'...'

'Thanks Self Notes. Now let's take a look at these skills'

--

A Willform Aethaeric cultivation method, put together with the combined efforts of the Ghosts Shadow and Self Notes.

Refreshes and cleanses the body. Revitalizing your energy.

Can also give Mental Stat gains.

--

A Willform Aethaeric Aura, technique was once used by a lame dude from Earth. 'Are you calling me lame!?'

Greatly increases speed and damage.

--

A Willform Aethaeric Aura. This defensive aura is one of the Ghost Mirror's best abilities.

Greatly increases defense.

Able to block special Controllers.

'Hell. Yes!' I fist pump with joy, accidentally knocking the end table over and alerting the house guests.

A crowd of familiar people burst through the door, Mother, Father, Uncle, Village Chief, and Rorry with his family all stare at me, shocked. I tilt my head confused.

Father faints.
