…
Chaos noticed that his stats had increased quite a lot, although they had increased gradually over the day, after evolving they increased the most.
His Mana in particular had gone several million up, meaning that he could conjure magic and skills with even more freedom than before, Belphegor himself had told him that Pseudo Demi Deities didn\'t possess such ridiculous amounts of Mana such as him.
He also had accumulated a nice amount of Skills already, and it was just his first day! Although he wondered what else awaited him, he was running out of time, for the most part.
He didn\'t know when the Crusaders would come back, and how strong would they be compared to him. He needed to prepare, to prepare as much as he could.
Feeling satisfied with his progress, Chaos rested his head over the warm and soft pillow, sighing.
It was a very soft bed.
He began to wonder when was the last time he had slept over such a soft bed…
And there was none.
Never in his first life did he slept in a good and soft bed.
But now, he was finally given such a luxury…
He wanted to simply forget about everything and rest here for an entire month, to sleep and dream, and perhaps meet once more that mysterious entity that spoke to him…
He caressed the soft bedsheets and glanced at the ceiling…
It had been around 13 hours since he had been reborn in this world, yet these 13 hours felt like a lot already.
Many things were bubbling inside of Chaos\' mind, many things.
However, he couldn\'t settle down yet and assess them correctly, he needs to survive, and… well, he also wanted to protect these people, what his father left for him to take care of.
Chaos stretched over the bed and closed his eyes.
…
Only for him to open them again about a minute later and quickly get up.
"Hah… No time to rest," he said, quickly getting up and walking outside of the room, only to be greeted by Abyss smiling gently, she was carrying what seemed to be dried meat, wine, and puree made from boiled roots similar to potatoes.
"Ah… Abyss, thank you," said Chaos, as he decided to eat in bed.
"No problem Master! I thought you might feel a bit down, so I brought you something!" she said with a sincere smile, Chaos instinctively smiled back at her, as Abyss noticed this and blushed a bit.
"Abyss, are you a reincarnated person?" asked Chaos, as he ate the dried meat, it was rather nicely salted.
Abyss was left a bit stiff, but quickly got herself together and nodded timidly.
"I seem to be one… The memories of my past life are… fleeting. I think I lived a lot of bad things that my mind is trying to suppress… But I know that… I know that I know you!" said Abyss rather clumsily, although that only softened Chaos\' heart a bit more.
"Are you from Earth as well?" asked Chaos, deciding to be direct as he ate the warm puree, it was creamy and a bit sweet, it was a good combination with the dry and salty dried meat, and as he sipped the strong wine that has been saved for generations in the underground of the castle, he began to become quite the fanatic of cooked food, something he had barely tasted on his first life.
"I think I was… I somehow know you were… Chaos, the child experimented that moved the world…" said Abyss.
"What? Moved the world?" asked Chaos in a bit of surprise.
"Indeed… Your case was known by all the people at some point after your… death. Though, in the end, it didn\'t change much… And I was experimented as well, used as a… guinea pig… Ungh…!"
Abyss barely managed to finish her words as she felt dizzy, almost falling off the bed where she was sitting at the side of Chaos, as she began to breathe heavily while her slimy body started to shapeshift hysterically.
"Abyss… Calm down," said Chaos, as he left the food at the side and quickly went to comfort his summon, caressing her oozy body.
"Ungh…! I-I am fine… It just… I got… goosebumps when I remembered…" sighed Abyss.
Chaos squinted his eyes as he gathered his mana into his hands, unleashing a newfound spell of Chaos Attribute that he had just created just for Abyss.
"Miasma Recovery,"
Suddenly, the black fog began to come out of his hands, being infused into Abyss as she slowly felt better, the goosebumps that her mind was going through quickly dissipated, as she felt… at ease.
"Eh? Master… Thank you," muttered Abyss, as she extended her arms and hugged Chaos.
"Let\'s not talk about such things for now. How about we go into a dungeon now?" asked Chaos.
"A dungeon?" asked Abyss, feeling hungry.
"Indeed, let\'s grow stronger," said Chaos.
