Huh?

"Did that memory actually work? did it actually send me back in time"

[Aspirant welcome to the first nightmare]

Sunny shuddered when he heard those words go in his head

Sunny actually managed to go back in time

A wave of relief and sadness washed over him once he remembered all the hardships he will have to go through again

' Is it really worth it to go through that all over again? all that pain, anger and sadness? 

Then he remembered his friends, the cohort he was once apart of

This made sunny steel his resolve to save the ones who didn't deserve to die and protect what he holds dear to him

At this moment he felt the coldness of the snow touching his feet

'It's just like I remembered ' 

Sunny sighed

then continued to look at his runes expecting to see the very same runes he once saw when he first entered the nightmare

But to Sunny's surprise he saw similar and different runes from the ones he knew

Name : Sunless

True Name : 

Rank : Aspirant

Soul Core : Dormant

Memories : 

Echoes : 

Attributes : [Bone weave ] [Blood Weave] [Prince of Shadows][Flame of Divinity]

'what? what happened to child of shadows and why do I still have Bone weave and Blood weave?, Child of shadows was gone and seemingly replaced by [Prince of Shadows].

[Prince of Shadows Description : Shadows recognize your efforts from your past life and and remember that you are were the closest one to their god.]

'What.'

Sunny was shocked 

They weren't exactly comparing them to the God of Shadows but it was a lot closer than his past life.

"with this I might manage to be stronger than I was before I went back in time" sunny said this out loud with out realizing but luckily it was not loud enough for others to hear and the wind was helping with that.

Aspect Abilty : Temple Slave

Description : You are simply a slave with a little more rarity

Although Sunny missed his old aspect he already knew what he had to do in order to gain it back.

Sunny's throat was dry and he was hurting it was practically burning him due to how cold it was but Sunny continued to walk

"Everyone of you stop now we must rest and recuperate" 

Sunny looked at the solider and cooperated with the soldiers orders. In order to get as much energy as he already knew what was going to happen in a few hours.

Sunny was offered water from a person he knew very well it was Hero. And of course right as he was going to grab it another solider yelled at Hero and told him "What are you doing? this little guy over here does not deserve it, these are for you and you only."

This of course made Sunny a tad bit angry but he controlled himself.

----

The event Sunny knew was gonna happen finally happened

Sunny saw the rocks and the shards of ice falling down on them

Sunny already knowing that this was gonna occur stayed calm and started thinking

of course Sunny was already safe from these attacks, Sunny was smarter than to try and save these people 

This attack caused several people of the caravan to be injured and a few others to die.

Sunny and many others saw what attacked them, but only Sunny knew its true rank which was Tyrant

Sunny of course knew he could not fight this Tyrant.

So instead of fighting it he went after its minions,

With Sunny's experience it was way easier than it was the last time, Sunny managed to swiftly take down the minions and tried to do what he did in his past life against the Tyrant

Everyone knew they would not survive if they fought it although they did not know its rank they knew it was way out of their league 

In this life Sunny tried explaining the plan towards them to pull the beast down towards the darkness down below. 

Since Shifty and the scholar had no other Ideas they simply agreed 

And like last time the plan seemed to have worked, although when they all looked around they saw every member of the caravan was already dead.

Remembering how he had obtained the Silver Bell Sunny walked over to the solider and killed him

[You have obtained Memory Silver Bell]

After these events everything went as Sunny remembered his first time went.

Shifty ended up being the first to die this was no different then his first time

Hero was poisoned, Sunny could tell due to him showing the signs of exhaustion

---------

While sunny was pretending to be asleep due to him knowing what would happen next

"I apologize for the sin I must commit in order for me to stay alive"

Hero started the slash that was meant to go towards Sunny's neck in order to give him a painless death 

But as Hero had started Sunless was already on the move But it was clearly to late as he had already been punched in the stomach dropped his own sword and was currently being choked by this slave.

Hero died soon after

After this Sunny continued towards the temple

-------------

Sunny had arrived to the Temple and entered it now

Sunny rushed to the altar and layed down on it

He heard the announcement he wanted to hear.

[You have offered yourself as a sacrifice to the gods]

[The gods are dead and can not hear you]

[Your soul carries divinity]

[You are a temple slave]

[Shadow god stirs in his eternal slumber]

[The Shadow God sends a blessing from beyond the grave]

[Prince of Shadows Receive your Blessing!}

The mountain king could not resist the power of a god and was devoured by black tentacles.

It was dead.

[Wake Up Sunless! Your Nightmare is Over!]

[Prepare for Appraisal]

Sunless was in a black void 

Received Memory Puppeteer's Shroud

A slave managed to reach the peak of shadows and as a reward he was sent back in time in order to change what he once wished he could change.

[Final Appraisal : Impossible

'Huh? that is different from before why? 

Sunny didn't have time to think about this before he heard 

[Dreamer Sunless you shall receive your boon!]

Sunny chuckled slightly due to knowing what he would receive and then remembering his first time and his reaction.

[You've been bestowed a True Name : Lost From Light

[An Attribute of Yours's can evolve do you wish to evolve

'w-what? I was certainty not expecting this'

"Yes"

[Attribute is evolving]

'Well that is most definitely different. Please don't have a certain part that forces me into a slave'

[Umbra Description : You are the darkest shadow who has managed to escape the jaws of fate you are recognized as the King and have complete dominance over shadows]

Sunless looked every for what he used to have as an innate Abilty but he couldn't see it.

"Am I finally free at the cost of going back in time?'

[Your First Seal has been broken]

[You are awakening your dormant powers]

[Awakening your aspect Abilty : Shadow Dominance]
