When Vd opened his eyes again, all the pain and agony he had gohrough in that trial felt like a distant dream now, leaving no scars in his mind.
He still felt how weird that feeling was. Whatever this game did, it retty impressive how it made the things that happened in the present feel so real and traumatic, but ohey ehey left no damage at all in the mind.
If anything, this game erfect for people that were proo having panic attacks or had social ay like him, as it helped them experience mahings without the ahat es with it.
It slowly built their ce and made them a bit less shy; over time, it could probably help Paul stop having so muxiety sometimes and bee better.
Although yeah, thanks to Chris, he had been gaining a lot more fiden himself already.
“Brother! Are you okay? You fell to the ground, and I barely mao get to you before you hit your head." Camil was at the side of Vd.
“Ah, so that’s what happened,” Vd felt slightly sleepy. “I’m alright, Camilly. Thank you for taking care of me… Ugh. Now let’s see.”
After petting her head, Vd slowly stood back up, seeing the system notifications.
Ding!

Vd felt surprised over what he gained; his Ranked Up Css gave him a bunch of bonus stats—more than he ever expected!
And that didn’t stop there, as he gaiwo very iing and strange Skills born from the bination of the Blood Demon’s Powers.
“It truly evolved them around the Blood Demon theme, even the Subcss…” He felt rather excited to equip these Skills right away. “Huh?”
However, before he could start doing that, he saw yet another notification.

“Iing… I don’t know why knowing this beloo a Fallen God doesn’t surprise me anymore,” sighed Vd. “I’ve been dealing with these way too much tely…”
heless, Vd still found it fasating that there were ods in the Past Era, some that had died in fact. Meaning that the current Gods, the Moon Goddesses and the Seven Evil Gods weren’t everything.
Fallen Gods might have already died for causes he didn’t know, but they left behind powerful Legacies! Meaning that they were up for the taking, powerful boosters that could give an incredible edge above other Pyer’s growth.
“But ohousand foes?!” he asked angrily. “That’s way too much! What the hell? I’m going to—Oh wait.”
He quickly recalled that at the end of the week, a big war was ing… So it wasn’t so bad anymore!
Ohousand foes? That’s easy!
“Let’s see…”
After all of that, Vd checked his Status to see the ges.

“It looks good so far,” he o himself. “But what does this Skeleton and the Harvest Skill even do?” he wondered, rubbing his .
“Brother…” Camil called for him. “Did you get something strong?”
“Ah! Yeah, I did; I’m quite proud of it myself, although it was really harsh,” sighed Vd. “Now it’s your turn, I suppose.”
“Hm! I’m looking forward to it,” Camil nodded. “But… Do you have any tips? About… what should I do there?”
“Hmmm…” Vd wondered. “Don’t sell yourself out to the Gods, if they appear. Also, don’t look at their eyes; don’t look at any eye, actually, period. Always keep your eyes on the floor; don’t let them vince you with sweet words either. And choose something you really want, not what they want you to choose… I really hope you don’t end up meeting the gods, though.”
“Uh-huh…” Camil nodded without much of a rea about whatever her brother said. “Noted. I’ll go then.”
She touched the Css Stone nontly, surprising Vd once more because of how… cold she could be sometimes about things that were very serious.
FLASH!
The moment she touched the stone, Camil felt her mind expanding and then falling through an endless darkness, nding on a pure white area, a realm of endless whiteness.
“Huh…”
She looked around curiously; unlike what her brother had told her, there weren’t any eyes gng at her or something, although there were three moons.
A silver moon, a green moon, and a red moon.
“Moons?”
Then she saw new notifications, showing her Css Rank Up options.
There were very few, but it seemed they were made for her; three of them were sponsored by the silent moons.
“Hmm… I don’t know; I don’t like any of these.”
She didn’t seem to like any moon-themed things; the girl was rather sassy.
The Moo a bit hurt by her words but didn’t say anythiher; it was her choice, and uhe Seven Evil Gods, the Moon Goddesses didn’t forybody to worship them.
“Hmm.. I guess I could… Huh?”
Suddenly, Camil g something behind the three moons.
There was something hiding there, something only she could see.
The three Moon Goddesses were pletely unaware of it, uo sense a sihing.
But Camil’s eyes and her psychic powers, which were pletely present in this mind realm and perhaps even enhanced, could see it clearly.
A shapeless entity, a being within the whiteness of this world…
It had an eye—a big, blue eye—but it wasn’t menag.
Was it friendly?
It seemed to not evearing at her, but at the void.
It was unaware of her existence as well.
“Hey, who are you? Are you also a God?”
The Moon Goddess g one ahinking she was referring to them.
“No, not you three… move aside!”
Camil said angrily, and as she waved her hands, the three moons suddenly were pushed away by an incredibly strong psychic force!
RUMBLE!
The three Moon Goddesses were astonished by the girl’s power within a Mind Realm, but remained in silence as they too felt something.
Something wiggling across spad… time.
“Gyogyogygooohh…”
A strange, soul-pierg voice echoed from within the endless void; the whiteness spiraled together and theed away as if it were dlewax, giving birth to a deep darkness.
And from the deep darkness, stars emerged, pierg through reality and the cept of the present.
Wiggling, amorphous appendages emerged, beginning to pierd break through the Mind Scape, as something strange, something bizarre, and something beyond even the Goddesses’ imagination surged.
The entity gred at Camil because she noticed its presence, and Camil floated in midair, looking at the creature more.
The more she g it, the more it became “real” within her perception of reality.
And the more it could influence said reality.
“You’re so big and wiggly, hehehe!”
Camil wasn’t scared, even though even the Gods were.
She touched the entity’s appendages, and they touched her and patted her head.
Its massive, blue, and gray eye gnced into her very soul, but it could only find the innod kindness of a child.
“Gyooohh…”
The corrupter found nothing to corrupt, a pristine vessel, a bnk ste; it could not harm with its corruptio remaiable within her view of perception ay.
It was stras very existence caused madness, but this girl wasn’t going mad…
Was she already mad? Someone born mad? Someone born with a strange mind?
It seemed that Camil’s special mind caused this being to not be harmful to her.
And so the being realized its existence could extend into something more than a living cept that predated antiquity.
“I’m Camil! What’s your name?”
The entity was asked to speak.
And it spoke.
A scream that pierced the minds of all beings.
“The Hollowed.”
“o meet you, Hollowed! What a weird name.”
