"My status is completely different, I can level up now and I gained more skills and I finally received my soul weapon… but why is it a staff and how come most of my status is unreadable?...And why is my race unreadable as well am I not human anymore?" asked Qendrim
"That's something even I don't know" said the other him
"Other me…. Let's just call you something else because I don't want it to seem creepier than it already is" said Qendrim
"Then just call me Split" replied Split
".... Okay then Split… Are the unreadable ones that I can't read because of my appraisal not being strong enough" he said
"Yes and no… It's also because our level isn't high enough too" answer Split
"You know for a while I had this urge to kill any and everything.. How about I satisfy it then I'll get out of here to do what I said I would do to them if I was still alive" said Qendrim as he became even colder with eyes filled with unhinged killing intent
"Hehe go wild me..I'm always here if you want to switch hahaha" said Split to him
"Seems like the alignment isn't a joke, I truly feel less restrained then I used to, now that seal and curse being lifted… I wonder if it's because of my death, why they were removed.. Well it doesn't matter, I'll find out everything soon enough… wait for me.. you bastards" said Qendrim as he dashed in to the poison forest to hunt
For the next year, the Kingdom of Ferlon was living peacefully even with the danger of the Demon King but as of now he still hasn't made any big moves. This caused the people to believe that something huge will happen soon.
During all this, the heroes have gained great strength and maturity throughout life and death battles around the continent as transportation isn't difficult like it used to be hundreds of years ago.They also went through many four star labyrinths but trying a five star was next for them to do in order to get stronger.
The King received intel that things could advance with the demons in another year or two in which he told the heroes and nobles as well as the church. They got this intel from a Lesser Demon before killing it but couldn't just go off of that since it wasn't a high ranking demon of the demon army.
So for now the military and heroes will be on guard just in case something unexpected happens. In the meantime the King will also stir up some fuel in order to push his agenda which only a select few knew.
"Vizker have things been going fine with "that"" asked King Ardnest in a secret chamber within the castle that only a very small group of people knows about
"Your majesty, things have been going as planned but there has been something going on with the Abyss of Poison recently" said Vizker
"Oh interesting… do you have any information on why and what's causing it" asked King Ardnest
"No your majesty.. Do you want to send some people to investigate or not" asked Vizker
"Hmmm… No as of now it's fine but if something changes report to me at once" replied the King
"Yes your majesty" said Vizker as he bowed to the King and left the secret chamber
"Now let's watch as the pieces fall into place" he said as he grinned with anticipation to what's to come
Elsewhere within the place they were discussing, Qendrim has been fighting and hunting non-stop as he has discovered more about himself.
"I have gained the unique skill <Growth x2> which the others were summoned with. The next unique skill is <Absorption> as it names implies I can absorb things but as of now there's a limit to what I can and can't absorb"
"I can't see my class or the type of magic I can use"
"And it seems I've finally received hand to hand combat and weapon mastery since back home I practiced different types of hand to hand combat while also being trained in using all types of weapons so it's good to see them" saying all this with a still emotionless face
"Of course as you're not under those "gods" anymore most of our true skills has been revealed and that was all due to your death… seems like they helped you without realizing it" saying his other personality which he calls Split
"After all this time here I could care less about revenge but it doesn't mean I won't kill them if we cross paths.. I just don't need to go to them… I'll let things happen because sooner or later they'll die by my hands" replied Qendrim
"What will you do then since you're not going to take your revenge right now" asked Split
"Do whatever I want but mostly lay on a comfortable bed.. No matter how high my stats get I rather be on a soft bed" said Qendrim as he still has an emotionless expression
"You know saying all this without emotions is creepier than talking to me" said Split
"... It can't be helped, I've been continuously corroded, cursed, poisoned, paralyzed, and other things before I was able to completely negate them. So my emotions have been rather difficult to express" replied Qendrim
Going to the edge of the Abyss of Unknowns, Qendrim asked a question he had always thought about.
"How come you never left this place when you took over… it would of been better if you had"
"I did try but there's a powerful barrier around this place" answered Split
"How powerful is it" asked Qendrim
"From what I seen in your memories, even the strongest people in this world that you've met wouldn't be able to break it" said Split
"Then it probably means someone of akin to a god created it" he said back
"That's the conclusion I came to since the things in here are stronger than most races outside" said Split
"So it's a barrier that one can enter but never leave while also keeping the things inside sealed"
"That's how it seems" said Split
"So how can we leave then?" asked Qendrim
"I say in about a year or so" replied Split
"What makes you say that"
"Haven't you noticed anything about your body the last year" he asked Qendrim
"Only that I'm practically immortal with high regeneration capability and negation to most things now" answered Qendrim
"You really haven't noticed huh" asked Split
"Notice what?" said Qendrim
"The difference of your body from a year ago" replied Split
Hearing that Qendrim checked and discovered something he didn't notice much.
"My body has been growing stronger by the second and it seems my level and stats has too grown" he said
"The reason for that is because of the <Absorption> skill and this place which is a treasure trove for someone with your skill" said Split
"So this is what it feels like to absorb the purest form of mana but do you think after absorbing all mana in here will make me strong enough to break it" asked Qendrim
"No but that's not the only thing you have being absorbing for the past year" replied Split
"What else is…. You mean the barrier itself right… that's why you seem so sure I'll get out" he asked Split
"Yes it's precisely that reason why I said it even though it'll take time to do it… after all it's a very strong one"
"Well it doesn't matter how long it takes, I just want to be able to leave, find some clothes and a bed. Food isn't as necessary but I would like to taste something delicious after so long" replied a emotionless Qendrim
"Now that you are aware of what you've been absorbing, you can concentrate on that and that'll speed things up"
"You're right, let's get this over with then" he said as he disappeared and reappeared at the center of the Abyss of Unknowns
He sat cross legs on a huge boulder within another area of the Abyss that didn't have poison, it was a normal area with the most concentrated mana. Once getting settled, he began absorbing mana at great speeds. While he's been doing that things have been, for the most part, going at a pace that was helpful for the heroes.
They have attended the Magic Academy for the past year now since the Demon King was said to be "weak" for now which should take a year or two before he becomes a true threat. The King would like to do something about it but he doesn't know exactly where the Demon King "goes" to gain strength. He has used all means to find out but yielded no results. Reading the reports the King thought to himself
'This is a much better result...I can plant the seed for "that" as well as gain support'
"So don't disappoint me, my pieces.. Hahaha" laughing to himself
