[You have received a memory: Puppeteers shroud]
Sunny found himself once more in the inner linings of the nightmare spell. A world between dream and reality and upon hearing the announcement of retrieving the puppeteers shroud sunny couldn't help but show slight nostalgia and pride as a small smile fell on his face
"How odd. I first believed this memory would save me in my first trip to the dream realm only to end up in a dead zone. Then it helped me find out the origin of a cursed nightmare creature that was a pawn of weaver. literally"
It truly was an ironic thing. How the vast weave of fate seemed to encompass and connect all.
He focused his thoughts preparing to hear the spell.
[Aspirant prepare for appraisal]
[ A being of supremacy. Chosen heir of shadow Bastard son of fate. The heir of weaver that never should have existed. To have unleashed the death upon all life. Upon every realm. The divine shadow devoured the darkness that threatened its life. The loss of his loved ones compelled it. Favored by its benefactors it was given a chance to travel the river of time and begin anew. Slaying a fallen god and stealing its power, transversing the river of time. Ascending a black mountain once more. Destroying both hero's and monsters. Gaining the respect of a once divine worshiper of shadow himself. Performing a dance to appease his God. The Shadow summoned not merely the attention of only his benefactors but of many other gods. Both divine and profane yet they did not fight instead accepted you. Blessed you and motion for your success.]

[ All power requires a flaw. Your flaw has been slightly updated]
[flaw]
[speaker of truth]: you are unable to speak a word of lie
Sunny analyzed the changes with glee. One thing was abundantly clear. Right now sunny was the strongest dormant human to have lived. No one who had yet to enter the dream realm possessed his power.
With shadow dance sunny was arguably the most proficient in battle craft even amongst the current sovereigns. The only downside was that to make use of his supreme battle art he needed his supreme powers which he lacked.
Aside from just his battle prowess subby possessed an unholy amount of attributes all of which were incredibly overpowered in every sense.
With his essence being enhanced by his attributes he was on part with the possibly awakened. Though mainly the weaker ones with the help of serpents essence guide maybe the stronger ones too.
"speaking of serpent..."
Sunny quickly summoned his Runes and accepted his aspect legacy rewards. When he accepted all 3, he knew that serpent was an ascended. He was slightly disappointed.
In his last life sunny had managed to achieve the 4th and 5th parts of his legacy. The 4th when he learnt to take the form of nightmare creatures first with Daeron. And then the 5th was within Ariel's game when he became a stone saint.
Those 2 extra steps would have made serpent a great beast but unfortunately it seemed he didn't unlock those yet
"I suppose it makes sense. The first 2 steps were information based. The 3rd was to incorporate it into my battle style which I practically ingrained in my mind but the 4th and 5th need shadow manifestation which I currently lack"
Sunnys eyes focused
"all the more reason to become stronger faster"
Sunny looked at the second relic. The drop of ichor from shadow god. Sunny already had shadow gods lineage so he didn't need to take this. But sunny had a feeling it would do something marvelous so. He took it
The drop of blood was not the golden ichor sunny had once heard gods possessed. This one was a liquid black that seemed to radiate a chill. Upon accepting to take it the drop flew into his head and fused with him.
[you have received an attribute]
[death]
[Shadow god created death to destroy the corruption. A being closest to shadow god and thus closest to death how could corruption wish to claim you?]
Sunny knew the value of such an attribute. He knew better than most in fact.
"now I never need to worry about becoming that vile plague ever. Nor do I need to worry about skin walker... To an extent"
Sunny looked at the shadow lantern.
"to think I once used you just for shadow manifestation... Gate to the shadow realm"
The Shadow realm was the last realm that was left unfound or explored and sunny had casually being drawing power from it to make things. It was quite funny to think about it.
Sunny then decided to call serpent out. And he was stunned.
First looking at soul serpent he couldn't help but marvel at her form. Her form was magnificent and giant. Combining elegance and the aura death. Unlike the last life she seems to be different as well. Her scales darker. Fangs sharper. And what stood out the most were the 2 horns protruding from the sides of her head facing forward.
"maybe it's another effect of shadow gods blood"
After checking her runes sunny admired he old attributes and the few new ones.
[shadow strike]: you can strike directly at the shadow of an enemy and thus their soul
[venom of death]: serpent has a venom that slowly brings death to her enemies. A simple drop enough to bring the power of death upon them. Slow as it may be]
Having serpent was naturally a huge help especially in the soon coming crucible of the forgotten shore.
But then sunny momentarily began to panic.
Sunny had never explored the correlation between his cores and shadows there would always be the possibility of him being limited by the amount of cores he had.
But he pushed that theory away. After all subby was now just a beast yet he had 2 shadows. So there couldn't be a correlation.
Sunny realized that now he was essentially just cheating but he didn't care. Not now that fate vowed not to harm him more than what was originally planned and he knew he could survive that.
Sunny's appearance changed again. He was taller. Not by a lot and still extremely short for a boy of his age but now he was about Cassie height in the original Timeline. His muscles were more defined, and you could see them through his clothes even if it was very lightly. His eyes had the darkness swirl in them and his skin grew paler as if it was snow. His hair grew more luscious and softer. His facial features sharper all in all. Sunny looked great. Enough to impress a certain lady he hoped. Especially since his appearance now was better than that of Kai and Cassie almost looking as an ascended as a mere sleeper but then...
And at the thought of Nephis it seemed the spell decided it gave him enough time. It ejected him and he woke up to find a particular ascended seated beside him her hands raised above her head in a stretch. Her clothes hugging her body accentuating her figure
Jet noticed the boy wake and asked him...
"What are you staring at?"
