Jace wakes up in his safe house to a shining sunrise. Jace realized that once again it had taken a full night for him to complete a new creation insight.
Jace however put it to the back of his mind when he heard the notification. "Ding, Successfully learned curse (novice level)" "Ding, please choose name for new curse." Jace immediately opens the curse spell library to inspect his new curse.
??? Curse (novice level)
User uses 20 points of mana to curse a target within 50 feet of the user that lasts for 4 minutes that causes 50% loss of sight.
Jace seeing this new curse feels that it is a little underwhelming. 'The curse could definitely be better, but it does what I wanted it to do. Also, I have not unlocked Curse Creations full power so it's expected to not be the best'.
Jace, satisfied that he had successfully created a curse with the effects he wanted, starts to think of a name. Jace quickly decides on one that he thinks will fit nicely.
"The name is Curse of Madness" Jace sees that the name changed and puts away the screen. Jace then takes this day to check around 0.5 miles in every direction around his base.
At the demon base the demons had begun work once again. This time however everyone looked on edge as well as constantly checking the Leaders tent. The Leader had earlier that day put everyone to a new schedule that was active immediately.
This schedule forced all the demons to work non stop, with the exception to eat and a short time to sleep. What also happened when the Leader did this one demon decided to voice his concerns as he was infected. What happened to this demon was he was sent flying by the Leader's fist.
this time while Jace was walking in the forest he got a notification. "Ding, killed one, one horned demon xp gained 200. Due to the title effect xp increased to 240." Jace stood there a little confused but in the end figured that someone in the camp had succumbed to his Splitter V2.
Jace then continued on his inspection around his safe house. Back at the demon camp, this act by the Leader caused all the other demons to accept the new schedule with no resistance. In the Leaders tent sat the Leader reading another message and his aid standing in front of him.

"By how much has the construction speed increased?" the Leader asked in an intimidating voice. "The construction speed has doubled, Leader. Though everyone seems to be on edge and worried for their life" the aid said while terrified.
The Leader looked at him and laughed "You think I care if they are worried. What I care about is finishing this base as fast as possible." The Leader then dismissed his aid to look over construction for him. After the aid left the Leader started to freak out.
The message that he had received said that if he couldn't get his base done in the next 14 night cycles of the planned he would be toast. The Leader just stared at the message while trying to figure out if he could do more to increase construction speed.
The Leader couldn't think of anything right now so he just sat there thinking. The Leader then had an idea to which he called his aid in. As the aid walked in the Leader said "Find the 2 lowest performers on the infected team and have them become look outs."
This confused the aid who asked "Why do you want lookout wouldn't it be better for them to work and help with construction?" To the question the Leader responded "If we have no more setbacks then we would have increased construction speed, would we not?"
This made the aid see what the Leader was saying and responded "I see, Leader. I will do it right away." The aid then ran out to complete his task. The Leader, satisfied with himself, went back to doing his work.
In another state the Captain and Charlie were preparing to retreat to the DSC school and set up base there. The Captain was looking over all the people from inside his car that were ready to start moving at his command.
The Captain sees the demons they were waiting for, drop from the hole in his rear-view mirror and tells Charlie "Tell me when you get the signal they are dead." Charlie nods while putting his head out the window looking for a flash from the back. After a few seconds Charlie sees the signal and tells the Captain "Now."
The Captain turns on the car and hits the gas. This starts a chain reaction of engines starting and rumbling from the car tires. The entire group speeds out of there and arrives at the DSC school after 40 minutes.
When they get there the Captain jumps out and starts ordering everyone, getting them into position. The Captain sees no demons following them yet but he has everyone move as quickly as they can.
On the other planet the black fog figure is talking to the three horned demon. "Have you sent in the 2 horns yet?" the figure asks. "Yes and No, sire the world is still too unstable to send 2 horns in mass quantities, however we have sent a few to look after things."
"I see" the future said in a growl "Has there been any updates on the resistances at the portals?" "Oh, Yes, sire. We have complete control of all the portals. It appears that the natives have all retreated from them" the demon said excitedly.
"Good,good. Any information on the piece?" the figure asked with enthusiasm. "No, sire. We have found nothing on this planet yet" the demon replies. "I see. Well continue with the plans as they are. I see this planet under our control very soon in the future" the figure says while signaling for the demon to leave.
"As you command, sire" the demon says as he bows before leaving. This leaves the figure to look out over his army as the next wave departs to the planet.
