Jace finds himself in the familiar black room of disease creation and gets to work. He goes to the Splitter V2 and just pulls all the branches off and puts it on the new disease core. Jace completes this quickly and heads towards the original Splitter disease.
He then finds the symptom to break apart your bones and mana, Jace grabs the branch and puts it into the new disease core. As Jace tries to insert the symptom branch, he feels extreme rejection from the core and that it is about to become unstable.
Jace makes a quick decision and pulls the symptom branch from the disease core. Jace then returns the symptom to the original Splitter core and stands thinking 'That did not work how I thought it would. There must be a way however'.
As Jace continues standing there thinking he has an epiphany of what he was doing wrong. 'I know, I was trying to have the disease have 2 of the same symptoms. What I need to do is just to take the one symptom branch and attach it to the other'.
Jace then grabs the symptom branch again and this time tries to attach it onto the end of the already existing branch. Jace watches as the branches connect and the disease core stays stable. Jace, satisfied with what he accomplished, leaves the disease creation room and hears the notification.
"Ding, chose a name for a newly created disease." "Ding, Weak Disease Creation and Weak Disease Incubation have leveled up to level 3." Jace names his new disease immediately "Its name is Splitter V3" then he opens his status screen to check the new level ups. When he sees his status screen however he gets very angry.

'System I believe I told you to tell me when my abilities level up even if I can't use the level up, correct?'. Jace then hears a new notification. "Ding, yes I was told but instructions were overridden." 'What do you mean overridden?' Jace asks the system now confused.
"Ding, instructions to tell user about ability level ups before the user is able to access them were overridden and turned off" the system responded. 'That doesn't really answer my question. I mean who turned them off?' Jace then waits for a response.
Jace however does not get one and realizes who the only person that could do it is. 'It was probably the God of Abnormalities, there is probably an important reason than'. Jace then still looking at the status screen asks the system 'Why can I see the levels now I haven't gained any more mana'.
Jace once again gets no answer and decides to check on his leveled up abilities. Jace finds that again nothing has changed with each of them besides their level up requirements.
The Weak Disease Incubation and Creation both require him to make a level 2 disease. The Cursemancing and Curse Creation require Jace to create a skilled level Curse.
The Hexmancing and Hex Creation require Jace to make a skilled level Hex. Jace then opens his disease interface to view Splitter V3.

Jace stares at his new disease while comparing it to Splitter V2.

'This is amazing. The effects are even better than I expected'. Jace moves Splitter V3 to incubation, Jace now satisfied that he saw everything and did everything heads to bed.
In the demon base things are going much worse for the 2 demons infected by Jace. They were working like usual but they were both feeling worse and worse. They both feel their mana is starting to get out of control.
They both however just think that they are tired and don't even think that it had anything to do with their cuts. The demons hear the sound that calls for their meal and they all head over. When they do, the 2 demons eat, interact, and act like everything is fine.
The demons then finish and head back to work not knowing that the next morning everything was going to go very bad for the base. As inside the Leaders tent, the Leader was battling with his own mana.
The first time the demons had gotten attacked the Leader had touched them which allowed for the Leader to be infected. As the Leader was stronger than normal demons, his body was able to fight off the disease and it would have been dealt with eventually.
That was however until today when he interacted with the 2 demons that were attacked. The interaction allowed the Splitter V2 in the Leader to get a boost and it was making a return in the Leaders system. Because of this the Leader then spent the night fighting the disease in his tent.
