Book 2: Chapter 87: Ascension

Scarlet

It only takes a few minutes for me to reach my suite, and I immediately head towards my room afterwards before sitting on my bed.

So how do I ascend?

I would recommend taking your magi-tech armor off and maybe wearing something you wouldnt mind getting dirty, Tar says, making my eyes narrow at that. And not sitting on your bed.

Okay

I deactivate my magi-tech armor, leading to me sitting on my bed wearing a regular shirt, black and red jacket, and black pants. Then I get up and go to my closet to change. Only to pause as I remember the clean skill.

Some things are too filthy to clean with the skill, Tar suddenly says when he sees me turn around to go sit on the ground somewhere. So I once again turn around and continue heading to my closet.

Something I wouldnt mind getting dirty I dont really have any swimsuits, so I guess Ill just go with my old workout outfit from before I became a Guardian of a sports bra and shorts. Something I would only wear using my own personal workout equipment, and not a gym.

I quickly go to change before coming back to my room and pausing.

If I really am going to make something that dirty, then do I really want to do this in my room where Ill be sleeping?

With that thought in mind, I decide to go somewhere else to do this. To the bath which I almost never use thanks to the clean skill.

A rather large and wide open bath at that. Quite luxurious.

I lie down in it before asking out loud, So how do I start the ascension process?

Without Tar even getting the chance to answer me, the Systems voice suddenly registers in my head.



Ascension complete.

User is now Class II.

No more pain then?

No more pain, Tar says in a comforting manner.

I just nod my head, not really wanting to talk about that experience again.

I would like to say that it gets better, but that would be lying, Tar says while floating above me and looking down at my clothes. To be blunt, it actually gets worse. And I would recommend burning those clothes.

Its at that point that I notice the rank smell. An absolutely putrid stench that has my nose scrunching up and me immediately jumping out of the bath, only to realize that that didnt do much good. Seeing as Im covered in the stuff too, with my clothes soaked in it.

Damnit. At least new clothes arent a problem. Actually, I have plenty already.

And these System messages can wait till I get cleaned. Because I am not reading them like this.

I wouldnt be surprised if there was some sort of cleaning chemical in the bathroom here meant for ascensions, considering how luxurious this place is, Tar randomly comments, making my mouth open for a second, only to close again immediately when I feel some of that gunk get into it, almost making me vomit immediately.

Oh, and you might want to look into the mirror, Tar suddenly says, reminding me that I should be 62.5% blood lycan now and only 37.5% human. So I turn my head to look at the mirror, only to not really notice much different.

Until Tar floats over to my head and points at the side of it, where I finally notice something missing.

I dont have human ears anymore.
