Chapter 34: Not again :/
A shadowy aura began forming around Night, the weapon aura was taking a form similar to Nights. The creatures around him now began to shiver, this was a new feeling for them, for creatures on the lowest part of the foodchain to experience the pressure of a being at the top of the food chain would naturally cause them to be afraid but not this time, this time they were shivering out of excitement, they could feel an ancestral familiarity coming off from Night, of course, they wouldn't and couldn't know what it is but at the same time, they're attracted to it.
Night's body remained still but his thoughts still raced through his mind.
Thoughts about his past, he wasn't particularly sad, in fact, he was grateful for the life he lived so far, he was aware of the fact that whatever he experienced wasn't much compared to most people but that doesn't change the fact that he was affected.
As someone who has a rather irrational fear of darkness, as someone who's been cursed by bad luck, as someone who was cursed by 'The Night'(Nyx), he hated feeling like this, feeling of fear.
A 22yr old combat sports prodigy and simultaneously academically smart having a fear of the dark is something society would surely criticize, he was getting over it slowly, initially, he couldn't walk alone at night but thankfully he would always have Nate with him, he never really actually told Nate about this but he was sure Nate had an inkling of an idea.
He wasn't questioning why he thought of the past and especially about his fear, in fact, he wasn't even aware of the fact that his thoughts were flooded with such things, to the others it looked like he was meditating under the water but Night could only feel himself meditating in the darkness, he was slowly absorbing it and understanding how to use it.
It was nowhere as easy as it was, he was now confused as to what more could he possibly do to understand weapon aura more, taking advantage of this confusion his body was made aware of his thoughts which made him shiver.
'Why am I seeing this, this hasn't happened before so why? constantly reminding me that I have such a weakness is not helping... constantly reminding me that I have to hide until I get over it is not helping!!! constantly reminding ME THAT I'M AFRAID OF THE F*CKIN DARK IS.NOT.HELPING!!!'
The aura around him was now violently changing, all the creatures back off completely, Shade for the first time looked at Night with fear in his eyes but he didn't back away, he sensed his lord's emotions to be slightly unstable, so he decided to stay and fight that fear for the sake of his lord. While Night was enraged due to his thoughts, he once again wasn't aware of what impact it had on his aura.... if one could even call it 'aura' at this point.

In Genesis, every action of a player has a consequence, be it a minor one or a major one.
What would happen if a player fully ignored the usual path and just mined everything he or she saw from level 1. There's a good chance they might catch the attention of a God, of course, the amount of hard work and the hours that are needed to be put in is close to the amount of time a player takes to reach level 200, which is close to half a year.
Obviously, this information wasn't public, only sad no-life gamers who probably are obsessed with honing a particular skill might come across such a situation(where a player catches the attention of a God).
Sephiroth, a Berserker who was focused on only one thing....that is... satisfying his bloodlust. On the very first day of the game, he nearly killed 12 players and since that day his kill 'count' (fun fact: Sephiroth means count or counting) crossed 450. And to add to the people's frustration nobody knew the identity of this murderous killer.
