RISE OF THE HOLY DEMONIC GOD

Ch 93: Abnormal Mutation



In Rey's room, he lay on the floor. After the ring tattoo was attached to him, it grew up to his entire lower arm area.

His eyelids twitched as Rey began to wake from the long slumber he had just endured.

"Ahh, what's happening right now?" he said, starting to rise from the floor.

He looked around and found himself in his own room, remembering that he been in the Archive.

"Aiden, Victor, Zero, are you still here?" he called, but received no reply. He didn't even know how to enter the room by himself.

"What's happening right now? My mind feels like it has a heavy load on it," he said, walking toward his bed to lie down.

As he stood in front of it and glanced at his wall clock to check the time, he was confused. He remembered spending two or more in the Archive, but only a few minutes had passed here.

"What's happen..." Before he could finish, he fell on his bed, and the room fell silent again after the thud of his body hitting the bed.

As night brought silence to the room once more, Rey was asleep again, but his system was not. Several messages popped up in front of his face, but Rey slept without any care.

As many things came into view, Rey remained in a deep sleep.

~~A few hours later~~

The day was already dawning as Rey, who was asleep in his bed, began to wake up again.

But this time, he wasn't lying as he had fallen onto the bed; instead, he was lying straight in, covered with a blanket.

He started to wake up from his slumber of who knows how many hours.

As he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground. He looked around and found no one around him, and saw his gate closed. He felt assured that his mother and didn't see him like that.

But he was also about who had put the blanket on him. Just as he was about to sit up, he felt something beside him move slightly.

With a strange fear, he looked toward the area and found his mother sleeping while sitting on a chair beside him.

His heart nearly popped out from his body after seeing her. But didn't said anything because he didn't want to wake her up.

He found it quite strange as he was about to call out for Aiden to what happened when his eyes fell on his hands.

His eyes were nearly ready to pop out as what he saw was something he couldn't understand.

The color of his skin, which was a little dull, now looked quite fair. His skin felt quite cold, though he didn't feel cold from the inside.

He was sure that this feature resembled someone he had known for a few hours.

Veylen, he had the same features. Even his hair, which was light black, now pure dark and the most eye-catching thing he noticed was the tattoo embedded on his hand.

It now covered his whole hand area below the elbow.

"What the hell is happening right now?" he said as he up from his bed, trying not to disturb his mom.

He walked toward the in room and was shocked to find such a massive change himself.

He looked completely different than before; his previous skin, which was a mixture of fair and half dull, was nowhere to be seen. The new skin was too fair like some top-class model just like Veylen told him that he was going to be.

His facial expression had changed drastically the beginning. It was as had gone from 20 to 100 in just a few hours, which seemed impossible.

His pupils, once a light brown, were now completely black, and his sclera appeared much whiter than before, as if the blood had vanished.

He was examining his body when he heard a sound behind him and turned to see his mother waking up.

He tried to hide or do something, but her eyes fell straight on him who was standing in front of her.

He expected her to, "Who are you?" and "Where is my son?" But the reality was different.

She rushed toward him quickly and hugged him tightly, leaving Rey shocked by her reaction.

"Son, you are alright. I thought something bad happened to you," she said, crying and still hugging him tightly as if he was about to leave her.

"M...mom, what happened and why are you crying so much?" he asked, utterly confused about how she could recognize him with such a different face and skin.

If someone saw him after that, they would likely ask, "Who is he?" or "Are you really Rey?" once they knew about him.

But maybe it is true that a mother can recognize her child by just a glance.

"Nothing just thought, you left me for far somewhere you didn't wake up for one and half days straight," she said. Hearing this, Rey shocked, as he remembered falling asleep on his bed after coming out of the archive, with Aiden and others not even replying to him.

"Huh, but I am fine. So how can I fall asleep for such a long amount of time? Are you joking with me or is this a prank? Emmy, are you the one who planned it? Come out right now," he said, even thinking that his mother and sister made a plan to surprise him as he tried to brush off the skin to check whether it was true or not.

"Rey... Rey, it isn't a prank or anything. Please try to understand that you were in deep sleep or something for more than one day and just woke up right now. Let me tell you the whole thing. What was that when I came to you up, you were lying in a strange position, and I thought you might have gotten tired and fallen asleep like that, but when I tried to get you straight onto the bed, I found your temperature quite low. I tried everything to wake you and tried to take you to the hospital, but you didn't wake up, so I had to call a doctor to come and check on you at home. He didn't find anything strange after the check-up and told me that only after you woke up could they check you, or if you didn't wake up for two more days, we would have to shift you to the hospital. But thank God that you woke up today, or I was just about to get you hospitalized." She told him the whole thing as Rey was shocked that such a thing happened, and he was asleep for so long.

'I will ask Aiden about this, but wait, where is he? I didn't see him before; it seems something happened to him,' he thought. After a few minutes of reassuring his mom, he was fine and nothing had happened, she left the room to make something for him, leaving him.

"Aiden... Victor... Zero... Veylen..." He called out everyone's names, but no one replied. He still thought something was wrong, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared in a white room.

He was shocked to find himself standing there but was happy that he could now ask them questions about what had happened just a few hours ago.

"Aiden, what's happening right... Who the hell are you?" Rey shouted as he looked back to see Aiden and found something quite different than usual.

There were beings standing or sitting in front of him, and the only one could recognize was Veylen, who was the one left untouched.

The other three looked entirely different. Aiden, who was perhaps the man standing in front of him, looked quite different. He always looked like a thirty-year-old man, but now his face seemed to have regressed a few years in time. His hair had turned black, and even his eyes had changed color. But not much else had changed. Victor, hair and eyes were blood-red, now had the color of dark blood in contrast to before. While everything else about him was the same, he looked much more beautiful than before.

The one who had changed most was Zero. Her whole body had transformed from a silver light transparent color into a mixture of half dark and half-light.

She quite different than usual, and they all looked at him with expressions that was not describable.

"So, finally, the charming boy is awake after such a long time from his beauty sleep," Aiden said as walked forward. Rey started to feel that even though Aiden's body had changed, something else had also changed in after he closely observed him.

All three were releasing an aura of the next level as if they had reached the next stage of the power or something.

"What happened to you all? And what's happening right now? Will you care to explain to me?" Rey said, but no one replied as Aiden just walked without saying anything.

"Kid, maybe my choice to choose you as our host was not a good choice." Aiden said with a straight face.

"Huh... what are you saying right now? I don't understand. Did something bad happen, or did do something wrong? But I don't remember anything like that happening..." He started to murmur in shock after hearing Aiden's words, little did he know that the guy who just said this line to him was trying hard not to laugh at him.

"You really are such a naive kid." Aiden said as he started to laugh, which made Rey confused again.

"Haha... Kid, don't worry. The choice wasn't just good but perfect, as what we get from your evolution is a chance that everyone seeks. Everyone here has evolved due to your evolution. It happened like the curse that was put on you to change everything into a darkness-related thing in your body as our source also changed to this." Aiden explained, but Rey still didn't understand, so Aiden after seeing his clueless face told him to open his status and see for himself.

Rey didn't understand but nodded as he opened his system to see the change. Before he could see the status, a large number of notifications popped up in front of him, overwhelming him.

"What the hell is this?" Rey shouted as he saw the messages.
