Ynnistoria: Certainly, Glenn. May I suggest, however, that you lay down in your bed before we begin?

Glenn blinked before deflating as his digital assistant sideswiped his resolve.

“Um…. Okay. Why do I need to lie down for this?”

Ynnistoria: The process will be… less than pleasant, Glenn. I recommend that you make yourself as comfortable as possible before going through the breaking—I mean, the level-up process.

Glenn huffed once, moved to his bedroom, regathered his resolve, and gave a quick nod to himself.

“All right, Ynnistoria. Hit me.”

Good thing he heeded her advice.

Glenn’s bones and muscles locked up as he felt something burst open from within his chest. Liquid fire poured through his veins and nerves, and he would have screamed his throat bloody raw if he could. Yet he could do nothing in his enforced paralysis but shake impotently as raw pain coursed through his body.

He continued groaning and shivering as his body shifted, tearing apart the clothes he wore as his demonic features imposed their existence over his humanity.

He felt his blue skin contract and expand, the muscles underneath hardening as they absorbed the condensed magic defined by his experience points. The claws on his hands, the fangs in his mouth, and the horns on his head all received the same treatment—becoming tougher and more dangerous. The fire inside his chest cavity cooled, leaving behind wider passageways capable of accommodating more essence.

The changes ended after what felt like an eternity but in reality was just five minutes. Those few minutes, however, seemed the longest that Glenn ever felt in his life.

He gingerly attempted to pick himself up, wincing as memories of pain threatened to overwhelm him. Thoroughly drained from the ordeal, he decided to just lie back down and study his new stats from the comfort of his bed.
