David Kingston's POV

***

David was floating in a space of absolute darkness yet fear failed to grip his heart as he knew that he was within a mental world of his own creation.

As a result he closed his eyes and focused on the air entering and leaving his body through his nostrils.

When he opened his eyes once more he was within a peaceful grove. It contained beautiful trees in the process of fully blossoming, and small animals scampered about. It gave off a serene filing of spring.

In the middle was a small pond with a woman sitting beside it.

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes upon.

She possessed a pure, unadulterated, and motherly aura, that not even Lucifer Morningstar himself would dare to profane. Her aura seemed to wind itself around anyone who remained in her presence, bringing them untold comfort and peace.

Her hair was golden blonde in color and her skin fair. Her hair was twisted into two French Braids which decorated her crown and twisted into one long braid at the back of her head hang down to the small of her back. Some of it framed her delicate face, which was a cross between oval and heart shaped. She had thin lips pinkish-red in color, a pert nose, and round greenish-blue eyes.

She wore a pure-white dress which hinted at her long and slender body, with obvious curves.

He walked over to her with an inherent sense of reverence. As he approached she turned her head to look at him with a smile which would cleanseone of all evil thoughts.

Under the brilliance of her smile, the rhythmic beating of his heart almost stopped.

"Hello David, my chosen. Come sit next to me, we have much to discuss about your future journey."

Her voice woke him from his internal sense reverence as she patted the soft bed of grass beside her.

[Scanning Environment of Host, and Host's internal structure...]

Before the string of System announcements from the Kibo could finish or David could orient himdelf after the summoning his body was overwhelmed with excruciating pain. He doubled over as he collapsed onto the ground below.

"Ahh..." He squeezed his eyes shut and screamed out in pain with all the strength his lungs could muster.

As he did so streams of foreign energy rushed into his body through his pores. It moved throughout his body, slowly being absorbed into his flesh and refining it on a cellular level.

After being absorbed into his flesh the energy altered his genetic structure, in a way that seemed to be completely natural. As it moved through his nerves they became more sensitive and flexible, increasing both his reaction speed and the sensitivity of his senses as a result.

The energy also assimilated into his brain and kibo making the two fuse on a deeper level.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

He soon felt another wave of pain stemming from his head, as four objects which he could only assume to be horns extended from his skull. The horns had a bone-like texture and a spiraling shape, and were a deep black color similar to his eyes.

A long draconic tail possessing golden scales carrying a metallic luster extended from his waist. It possessed a spear lik tip which could easily pierce reinforced steel and a thick base.

Eventually, the pain began to fade and another form of energy which was soothing in nature began to flow throughout his body. It healed the injuries caused by his previous transformation and greatly calmed his nerves, clearing his mind.

As he began to slowly open his eyes, a whole new spectrum of colors light bombarded his retinas, causing him temporary discomfort.

A wide array of smells also revealed themselves to him, and he could fell the slightest movement of the surrounding air against his body's surface as countless indistinguishable sounds rung in his ears.

He briefly closed his eyes in an effort to better adjust to the hypersensitivity of his other senses first.

As he did, he felt a slight headache due to the still vast amount of information flowing into his mind.

In the process a final string of announcements rang out from the Kibo within his brain before the two completely fused.

[Kibo and the host's body have fused with a foreign energy-matter.]

[Rescanning host's body condition.]

[5...4...3...2...1... Scan Complete]

[Condensing Phantasm.]

Mana then rushed outwards from the Kibo and flowed throughout his body, placing his body through yet another round of alteration and refinement. The Mana mainly focused on refining my his nervous system, making his senses sharper still, while also making his entire body more conducive of Mana and higher forms of Energy as a whole.

This process was not nearly as painful as the last, but it still caused him to clench his teeth in pain.

The pain soon faded, and when it did, he once more opened his eyes and attempted to observe his surroundings as he adapted to the new spectrum of colors available to him.

He was laying on the ground of a cavern whose ceiling was covered in stalactites.

He rolled his body over and began to push upwards, rising to his feet.

There was a golden colored Magic Circle inscribed on the ground beneath his feet. It had four Magic Sub-circles, each inscribed in a cardinal direction. They all had a single indentation in their center, and were linked to a central Magic Circle through many Magic Conduits.

As he slowly rose to his feet, his gazed moved forward and he instantly recognized Akatsuki and Akime. They stood with their backs toward the cavern entrance as they watched him with gazes of expectantion.

Akatsuki was slightly taller than her younger sister, standing at 5'8. She had slanted eyes, which were blood-red in color, with vertically slit pupils, a pert nose, wolf-like ears on top of her head, curved brows, and full pink-colored lips, situated on an oval-shaped face.

Her thick hair was jet-black in color, forming a contrast with her fair skin as it hung down to her waist. There was also a pair of blood-red draconic horns extending from the two sides of her forehead.

She wore a pure white kimono with a blood-red obi. The kimono revealed the tops of her milky white breasts and collar bone, aswell as, the slight curvature of her ass.

His gaze lingered as it traveled over of the figure of his first love, and he gave a slight smile when their gazes met, space seemingly nonexistent.

He then turned to take in the appearance of Akime.

Her eyes were an ocean-blue color set beneath curved brows, and the rest of her face was around 70 percent similar to that of her elder sister's.

She possessed an only slightly shorter stature and a more slender body, with a studious yet shy aura surrounding her. Her silky black hair hung low to just above her round behind.

She was dressed in a similarly white kimono to her sister with the only difference being that her obi was ocean blue in color.

He felt a slight sense of guilt as he sensed her gaze of adoration and gave a mental sigh.

"Akatsuki, Akime how many years have passed for the two of you?"

His tone was relaxed after having become somewhat accustomed to his body's recent transformations.

"Almost a century I believe, you know I'm not to good with tracking the flow of time after all that time we spent on other planets when we were younger. Anyway, that's not of much importance, we have much to tell you."

Akatsuki spoke with a coquettish tone.

She walked to his side and slipped her arm through his and led him to the cavern's entance.

"Come on sister, we have much to explain to first brother don't we? This is no time to be acting all star-struck."

Akatsuki spoke to her sister teasingly.

"Yes we do."

Akime nodded her head and blushed as she spoke.
