Shadow slave: A Shadows Friend

[Prepare for appraisal...]

Rin laughed in joy she had escaped that hell

'Hahaha the spell can kiss me ass'

A second later she found herself in a black void

"my deepest apologies mister spell I shall retract my previous statement."

She found silence as her only answer before she really took a look at her surroundings.

Dozens of stars actually illuminated this space and if she looked closer it she saw strings of ethereal light connecting all of them it was a beautifully complex net of various nexuses and constellations

Well I feel like I'm currently floating in the spells working parts

'gotta say this looks strangely similar to the inside if a brain'

.

.

.

"are you alive?".....

.

.

.

.

"fine don't answer me"

.

.

.

After a while she got bored of the silence a she was still waiting for the Spell to appraise her performance. However, the first reward had nothing to do with it.

[You have received a Memory: the widows bane]

[Memory rank: tier five awakened memory]

"LETS GOOO!!"

Rin screamed out loud jumping up and down. Finally her hardships paid off...the memory itself was one from a awakened tyrant called black widow. Which was truly amazing

There were seven ranks to everything in the Spell. These ranks were, in order of growing power: Dormant, Awakened, Ascended, Transcendent, Supreme, Sacred and Divine (with the exclusion of Nightmare Creatures, who were ranked as Dormant, Awakened, Fallen, Corrupted, Great, Cursed and Unholy).

The spell most definitely saw rin as a dormant human so a memory this high of a rank would help her greatly.

Her mind begged her body to summon the widows bane. But there was no more time. The Spell was done with its appraisal.

It almost seemed like the whole void spoke to her

[Aspirant! Your trial is over.]

[A clan heiress crossed the death forest. Both sibling and monsters fell by her hand. Unbroken, she grabbed a ruined statue of a long-forgotten god and spoke. The gods were dead, and yet they listened.]

[You have defeated two dormant beasts: black widow's spawn.]

[You have defeated an awakened tyrant: black widow.]

[You have slain an ascended human. Itac§∆√ √÷׶~#(error name corrupted)]

[You have received the Shadow God's blessing.]

[You have achieved the impossible!]

[Final appraisal: impressive. Your spite has no limits and knows no bounds]

'damn right I knew my spite was special'

Right now her powers were still dependant on the rank of her soul core. It was going to stay dormant until later on

But the aspect...

This is where her whole life was going to change for better or worse

[Dreamer Rin, receive your boon!]

She wasn't going to be an aspirant for long.

[You have been bestowed a True Name: fallen moon]

She first chuckled a couple of times laughing it off. Like it wasn't true or that her mind was playing tricks on her

"yeah right like me rin lunar is going to get a true name. Something even not all Saints have"

"I'm not stupid...There's no way"

"there's no way"

She checked once again

then double-checked...

even triple checking just to confirm it.

She sat down in the void speechless

This was it this is how she's going to become the best. She promised herself to never go hungry again with the amount of money she was going to make

She was ecstatic and she couldn't believe it when more boons kept appearing

[Your Aspect is ready to evolve. Evolve Aspect?]

"I'm going to keep my sarcasm to myself...but yes my dear spell I would like to evolve my aspect

[Dormant Aspect Clans eyes is evolving...]

[New Aspect acquired.]

[Aspect Rank: Divine.]

Rin choked on her spit and started to cough violently

'Rin if you die to spit ill be so peeved'

She continued to focus while coughing

[Aspect Name: heavens eyes]

"Divine *cough cough* lets *cough* GOOOOO! *cough cough cough*

Divine was an amazing feat

"hey spell that said "divine"... right?"

She didn't hesitate and inspected the runes

Aspect: [Heaven's Eye].

Aspect Rank: Divine.

Aspect Description: [You are left behind by a dead clan slaughtered by your brother. The heavens eyes, possess plenty of strange and wondrous powers. However, your existence is empty and lonesome; you mourn the death of everyone from your great clan.]

'I don't really care about the clan I'll be honest with you...'

Ability: [Kotoamatsukami]

Ability Descriptions: [a powerful genjutsu that manipulates a target's thoughts completely without any, including the target, having the slightest idea that they were being controlled. Must have eye contact and this technique can only be used once every couple of weeks]

So essentially she had mind-controlling powers.....This....Was....HUGE!. She couldn't even begin to list the number of ways she could use this

'against powerful monsters with eyes'

'against human enemies'

'I could make anything my pet or just command it to die. by my blade'

The constant ideas of how to use this aspect flooded her mind. The spite of surviving to prove herself had paid off, even if she kinda gave up near the end and begged a little statue for help.

'not my best of moments'

Anywho, no one has ever gained a divine aspect before...well she didn't actually know but she never heard of it happening so she was pretty certain she was very very VERY rare

"Divine" was so far removed from today's society that it was kinda like an old wives tale since humanity had only recently beaten the third nightmare and evolved their cores into transcendent ones

Saints, that's what everybody called them in the real world, some of the most powerful people ruled the dream world. But even they weren't too happy to face off again monsters of higher rank to them

Let's see memories and echoes of supreme rank weren't many...so were not even going to look how rare sacred or divine was...

"AND I HAVE A DIVINE!!!"

The constant good news had made her mouth curl upward for the longest time in her entire life... She was probably very close to passing out from excitement

[The First Seal is broken.]

[Awakening dormant powers...]
