A Butler's Perks

Crimson's pain lasted all through the night. His body twisted and broke in ways that he never realized it could. Bones he never knew existed popped and realigned.

The pain racked him all through the day till night descended and the large full moon rose. Finally, it stopped easing away.

Light came in from the broken ceiling of the castle its soft silver rays touching his skin and greatly energizing him. Around him, there were puddles of blood both red and black. A thin membrane of skin lay amidst this puddle.

Glancing from the skin membrane to himself Crimson noted differences. His skin felt as smooth as a babe yet was as firm as iron. Unable to see himself he picked and pulled out the long sword from its sheath on the ground where it lay with the rest of his tattered attire.

Turning the blade little by little he accessed himself.

His red eyes once dull were now as bright as jewels, lights that glowed in the nights. His skin was pale but in a glossy beautiful way. His body was even more toned than before. His ears were pointier and the fangs that dropped from his gums were longer almost more savage.

His crimson hair now reached as low as his tailbone while tendrils of silver hair ran through it.

"Haritia"

The netizens of this world had only one way to see their life status. By summoning the world's energy to show it to them.

Crimson watched as various runes shimmered and arranged themselves in the air.

"My...How. Wow..." His breath quickened at noting his stats. "I was barely at a hundred before this. Wait what are my classes and others like? "

"That's just overpowered. I could best Celina now" he laughed as he read and reread his stats information before finally content he looked up ignoring the snide remarks obviously thrown at him by the runes.

"Well. What now?. I have a feeling I can't just leave. Right?" he asked looking around for something to answer him and tell him what needed to be done.

Silence.

"What even are your interests?" Crimson muttered now looking up at the stone statue. At some point, the vines had twisted away letting him through the entrance.

'Seems they can sense who is against and with their master' he thought. His eyes landing on the huge twisted form on the ground made him ponder again.

'Did you come here to get something and got trapped? Were you like me, offered the Fragments and killed for refusing? ' The thoughts sent shivers down his spine as he realized how good it was he had accepted or he might have ended up like the thing.

While his fears were legit Crimson would soon realize his thoughts were far from right about what lay there bound tightly in a twisted personification of horror.

Looking away from the startling thing he set his gaze on the statue once more and took a step closer.

Then another step. A third step had him right beneath it and only now did he realize how much smaller he was compared to it. Forcing down a gulp his eyes raked over all the vines binding the statue and then to the ground around it.

Only then did he notice something else that he hadn't seen before due to his distance. There lying in a shattered heap were the bones of living beings. But it wasn't the bones that had him stunned.

Rather it was the gleaming gold bone that lay in a heap within the pile.

Crimson shook his head. He found it impossible. Cracking his mind severely for that memory he stood there for a moment before it came to him.

'Shit' he cursed in his mind. Looking up at the statue once more he gulped as he cemented one fact. Whoever or whatever Nameless was, never go against him.

'Who would dare contend against someone capable of slaying an Archangel' he groaned.

Gold bones came from the wings of Archangels. It was said that their wings were the symbol of their power. While an Archangel could rot away after a very long time its wings would always remain untouched by time.

Crimson shook his head unable to bear another shock as he stumbled forward his feet tripping on a random vine. Catching himself the vampire halted his fall by leaning on the stone statue.

He hissed a bit as he felt a tug at his mana and something else within him. Yet before he could ascertain what just happened he heard something.

A crack sounded in the quiet room. So little that Crimson barely caught it. His former self might not have but this him could hear and sense things for 200miles.

His head snapped up as he turned to look at the direction of the sound.

A thin line ran from the point where he caught himself, his palms leaving the thighs showing it moving up from there to its hip. Alarmed he took a step back wondering if he had transgressed this statue master by touching it.

Yet the next thing that echoed in his head made him freeze before staring up at the frozen behemoth.

The voice sounded quite excited and had a tinge of pride within it as it spoke twice. Each statement sending a shudder in him, its voice echoing in his head like a bell.

- You have completed the hidden requirement -

- Rejoice, your Master awakens -
