Dantreulity Realm, It's Time For An Assignation

This new Change's 21st year, 1st month, 1st week, and 4th day.

Inside Heian Ciemnosc's abode, he was sitting inside his cultivation room, cross-legged, and with Elena 5 km away from him, cultivating her way to the Hana-Saga realm. She, her Crystal Fist Team, and his Concealed Ornament Team had already become Dantreulity realm cultivators and were not necessarily in the early stages... It was even more shocking for the seniors like Clarke and Yon, but that was for later.

Pure energy surrounded him, with an invisible ‘barrier’ keeping it from reaching his body. His body was clothed still, and he was ready to rush outside. Having already gone through the 9 lightning strikes when he broke into the Neutral Encephalon realm 10th stage, Heian Ciemnosc understood the pain wasn’t just to ‘prepare’ the cultivators’ mentality. It could very well destroy one’s image of the world, and sanity might dissipate.

The pain he felt back then had enormously increased. It was still within the bounds of what he thought possible, but it still stunned him when he received the first lightning strike, let alone the 9th. And now, he was facing not just the heavenly tribulation’s 18 bolts. Heian Ciemnosc would endure the following 3 after breaking into the Dantreulity realm. Nevertheless, Heian Ciemnosc was prepared, and his heart couldn’t be any more unbreakable.

“Haaa,” Heian Ciemnosc softly exhaled with his mouth wide open. Dark Neutral Energy flowed inside him. Its speed was already above his comprehension since breaking into the Neutrality realm. Nowadays, he felt it was as smooth as air, but its might and evolution were impressive, even for Heian Ciemnosc.

Pshiiiift~! From Heian Ciemnosc’s sternum, a pure dark tentacle extended. It went through his clothes, skin, and everything else a body could hold to meet the air of his cultivation room. Heian Ciemnosc’s dark Neutral Energy circulated faster, and the pure energy, smoothly flowing around him, started forming circles. Meanwhile, his Dantian Link was entirely covered by his inner being’s pure darkness. Heian Ciemnosc’s heart started thumping as he felt the same sensation as back then. But instead of a bubble bursting onto his stomach, he felt as if his skin had turned into stone and started cracking up.

Heian Ciemnosc’s brows furrowed as Elena opened her brown eyes. To look at her husband go through what she had already experienced. Elena’s eyes glinted as she saw Heian Ciemnosc’s energy fluctuations keep still and not need any minute recomposing himself. She shook her head while silently closing her eyes before snapping them open. She didn’t want to miss a single moment of this breakthrough. If there was one such monstrous cultivator, it could only be her husband. More often than not, Elena compared her man with those powerful figures from the past.

Not those like the Great Sage and previous Existential Sixth Step overlording organizations, but the Lords of the world, who had long gone extinct. Nevertheless, as she looked at her husband, she noticed the strange, pure, dark appendage coming out of his sternum, extending 8 meters in front of him before stopping. It wasn’t energy but something similar, yet she couldn’t tell what it was and could only continue watching, astounded.

PSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~~~~~~~~FFFFFFTTT~~!!

Suddenly, Heian Ciemnosc’s body commenced devouring pure energy. His ‘barrier’ had enlarged and could form more dark Neutral Energy within a broader area and in larger quantities. However, it was the same as before. The pure energy would turn into his dark Neutral Energy right before entering his body, already his, like those refined inside his body. As Heian Ciemnosc noticed the change, and his cultivation base was becoming blurry from being at the Neutral Encephalon realm.

“!” Just then, Heian Ciemnosc felt his glabella lightly touched by a bubble. This sensation immediately opened his eyes wide, and he felt every fiber of his body as if it was being transported to a new land, vaster and of more prominent quality! He immediately stood up, and with Elena following after him, he rushed outside his cultivation room, bedroom, and outside of his Master’s abode. Elena was slower than him, and when she exited her Masteress's abode, Heian Ciemnosc was already sitting on the ground 10 km away and the sky opening a cobweb.

Kaaaa- chaaaaa! Heian Ciemnosc felt his forehead and abdomen pressed down, not only as if something was pushing them directly but also as if he was being locked in his position and he couldn’t move. However, Heian Ciemnosc knew this was just an illusion. Yet, if one wanted to run or escape the pain physically, they would just embarrass themselves, and because they were not prepared, they might even die.

One could fail successfully breaking through stages and realms and lose cultivation base as a result. But dying because of being reckless was even more possible, especially when one’s mindset wasn’t to overcome their problems but to believe they would be fine if they wanted to live hard enough. Heian Ciemnosc gritted his teeth and cured his toes once before letting go of all of it altogether. Thus, the first lightning strike shot from the sky to his forehead!

‘!!’ Heian Ciemnosc felt so much pain his darkest eyes snapped open, and dark-bloody veins popped from his sclera. His eyebrows remained calm as he looked at the sky, and before half a second passed, another lightning bolt came crashing down, followed by another, and another, and another…!

Kaaa- cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha! Cha!...

‘...!!!’ Heian Ciemnosc’s body trembled while his neck and head uncontrollably shook as if having several seizures at once! His body remained sitting cross-legged, but Elena, standing far away, could see heavenly tribulation’s lightning wounds already cracking his skin open and revealing blue, electric energy taking over under his skin. Nevertheless, Heian Ciemnosc’s cultivation base was slowly formed around the Dantreulity realm as the heavenly tribulation, lightning by lightning, descended upon Heian Ciemnosc’s glabella in under 8 seconds!!

More than 18 lightning strikes charred Heian Ciemnosc’s Psychogenic, leaving him helplessly vulnerable. That was when he felt his Dantian heat up, but he was too dazed and virtually paralyzed to do anything about it. Even his dark Neutral Energy was shaking and seizing as if turning into static. Just 1 second after the Psychogenic received its last heavenly thunderous test, Heian Ciemnosc heard a sound akin to a crack emerge from his Dantian region.

‘Dantreulity realm!’ Heian Ciemnosc internally exclaimed, but not even a millisecond after he realized it. A blue heavenly lightning strike was already before him, its length upside down as it passed by his face and landed on his abdomen.

Ka- cha!

“!!” Heian Ciemnosc’s body felt brutal, direct, and heavy torment before suddenly feeling as if every nanometer of what composed his being was stretched, pulled, and flattened hundreds of times in half a second. Heian Ciemnosc’s dark fangs appeared on their own as he widely opened his mouth. His face contorted, and his nose furiously wrinkled, but he kept his stance and trembled while the second lightning strike started falling.

Ka- cha! Ka cha! Without giving Heian Ciemnosc time to adjust to the new kind of torment and burdening him with saturated pain, the second lightning strike was immediately followed by the third, making Elena’s brown eyes shrink as her eyelids opened fully. Before she could lift her left foot and rush forwards, Lady Calisneia’s right, weak hand landed on her left shoulder. The mere feeling that her hand was more fragile than the breeze startled Elena, and before she knew it, she was looking at a Heian Ciemnosc who was bleeding from his ears but remained sitting in the same position. He didn’t move an inch.

However, everywhere around his arms, legs, neck, face, sides of his head, fingers, thighs, torso, and even his soles and palms were cut open and bleeding dark. Most of those parts were still covered since the cuts were from the inside, not by the lightning strikes themselves. However, the dark blood was effortlessly noticeable, as his black clothing turned much darker, and his uniform was just obscure gray.

His cultivation was now set in the Dantreulity realm. Seeing this, Elena smiled big time, and seeing this smile from the side, someone’s Master smiled in kind. Heian Ciemnosc continued recuperating as Elena didn’t need to be held back by Lady Calisneia anymore. Both watched as Heian Ciemnosc’s actual wounds healed to the naked eye. It was insufferably slow, but it was happening right before their eyes.

Long hours later, when Elena saw most of his wounds turn into slits, she rushed towards Heian Ciemnosc with her arms open, a fiery expression, and her love soaring into the skies with a pair of brown eyes that said, ‘Babyyyy~, I’m coming for youuuu!’.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Whoosh- thud. “...” Heian Ciemnosc smirked, and keeping his sitting posture, he opened his arms in time to receive the excited Elena. Her body tried tackling him down, but she was like a koala trying to halt a comet or like a comet trying to destroy a God’s or Goddess’s hand. She simply felt her lower body slowly land on his lap as her upper body and arms became stuck, hugging his slightly warmer pale body.

“Congratulations,” Elena softly whispered to his face as she sat on the ground before him but leaned towards him. Heian Ciemnosc emitted a tiny ‘oh’ from his lips. The remembrance of the pain just then still lingered around his head. Elena nodded, knowing what it felt like, and rubbed her forehead and right cheek on his left cheek while waiting for him to recompose. She could help him solidify his foundation whenever he felt like a living being again.

“... You kids don’t mess outside. I will no longer accept you in my abode if you do, understood?” Lady Calisneia watched for another hour before feeling too exhausted to keep her eyes open. She spoke to the kids before turning around and immediately disappearing, probably returning to her bedroom to rest. “...” - “...”

Seeing Lady Calisneia leave, Elena and Heian Ciemnosc looked at the spot she disappeared from with a silent expression before Elena turned to look at him. In the meantime, she smoothly lowered Heian Ciemnosc to rest his back on the ground. Then, she spoke with a sweet, lightly whispering voice, “Your Master needs more rests and longer periods, doesn’t she?”

“Mn, it’s getting there… I’m still trying to find a way to heal her. There’s just nothing, nowhere…” Heian Ciemnosc responded, looking ‘down’ at Elena’s exquisite small face, whose pale skin was turning beautiful, and features were gaining more character, perfect to her stubborn, headstrong, and tomboyish ways. By the end of his own words, Heian Ciemnosc was frowning hard. Elena smooched the edge of the left side of his jaw and comforted him, “Hush. There might still be a way or many. She can’t just die now, can she? She must see her disciple do all sorts of things…”

“Yeah…” Heian Ciemnosc absentmindedly answered. After a couple minutes like this, he took her right wrist with his left hand and spoke to her face to face. “But not in public.” - “Eh-ah?”

Whooooooosh~! Elena didn’t have time to respond before feeling her body sweeping through the air, nearly like a transportation tunnel. And before she knew it again, she reappeared on her husband’s bed, in his bedroom, with not even her clothes nowhere to be seen, her great abdomen showing, and her legs spread, but with a phallus with an impossible yet tasty length and dark veins all around it prostrated before her ravenous eyes.

“Hap,” it was time to eat, and Elena knew it. Her pale lips opened, giving in to the pale, grotesque meat before her as its taste became known yet again to her melting brain. The moment the little tip of her tongue met with it, her jaws automatically invited it in. Even as her teeth buried themselves into the skin, it did nothing to harm Heian Ciemnosc, mentally or physically, as she even chewed on it like a dog playing with a ball, wringing more pre-cum to her heart’s content.

Several minutes later, and without warning, but with Elena needing none. Heian Ciemnosc grabbed her head above her right ear with his hand and started thrusting deep into her esophagus. Elena simply nudged her head up and down in diagonal directions and sniffed in and out incessantly until her nose was buried in his pelvis, and she lovingly shook her head left and right to give him extra caresses and affection. The love-making session and dutiful solidification of his foundation began…

***

Wrath Nihility Academy’s individual territory, Central Building. On one of the topmost floors.

A 3 meters tall man with crazy, exotic gray hair was looking at a panel concerning the Blackotia Kingdom’s map. Before a young man wearing the Academy’s uniform with pale gray colors could take a turn and step into the room, he turned around to reveal his brown-yellow eyes glowing azure. His eyes seemed bigger than regular but were still humanoid in size. It was because of the aura he held that made his transformation technique seem to fail. Or perhaps something else.

“What is it?” - “Headmaster, I- ah, ah… yes…” The young man didn’t process the Headmaster’s words at first, taking him a second to realize he was already seen through. The young man almost tripped as he stepped into the room, but after the Headmaster startled him, he rapidly composed and stood straight before the Headmaster. He calmed his excitement and put down his nervousness to speak in a reporting fashion. “It’s a message from Her Excellency. It had just arrived.”

“...” The young man had imagined how much he would speak of the incredible image he saw before suddenly holding a letter with his hands. About the streak of dull, golden color, seemingly moving through the universe outside the Blackotia Kingdom before suddenly flashing before him as if a 3D video suddenly turned to reality, and of how he was standing with his arms to the sides but suddenly found himself sitting on his chair and his hands placed together.

However, with the Headmaster’s simple question, it seemed like the young man was enlightened and now felt all that was unnecessary. Headmaster Rosfalto looked at the young man to see if he would spill the beans. After seeing the young man calm down and not say anything, Rosfalto nodded and took the letter. And since he didn’t relieve the young man from his duties, he stayed in the room, waiting for instructions.

‘This is the Headmaster!’ The young man silently praised the ‘legend’ before him. Living through millions of years wouldn’t be a problem, but the next Headmaster was already being rumored and trained within the Academy. Such rumors could only become a reality after time passed. It was a rule that the world had seen repeated too many times. However, few non-Existential Sixth Step organizations can rock the world with such news.

The young man was but a Servant who came from last year’s recruitment period, and now that the new recruitment period was proximate, he felt thrilled to know he would have hundreds of thousands of juniors to speak of. Nevertheless, seeing the Headmaster read through the letter, holding it up as if he was prostrating himself before it, the young man remembered he was in front of the Headmaster and processed the fact that he knew, out of nowhere, that this letter came from that Her Excellency!!

“Young one, bring these orders to Vice headmaster Sonora,” the Headmaster’s words woke the young man, who was about to have a stroke. Without any doubt, the young man saluted and said with all the intensity he could muster. “Yes, sir! I will obey!”

“Mn, sigh…” The Headmaster momentarily stopped and looked at the corner above the panel, which the young man couldn’t see through. “It is time. The boy must go and have his graduation ready. With this, she is to select a mission for him. Let her know it is the mission to consider graduation more than acceptable, and not barely. And tell Vice headmaster Sonora that it comes from Her Excellency herself, so it must have some meaning at the very least.”

“Go to Teacher Conde and bring him this letter after reporting your success back here,” the Headmaster passed another letter, created from the air and with energy scribbling something before handing it to the young man. Ashamed of his country-bumpkin-like feelings, the young man’s slightly brown face reddened as he held both letters with utmost admiration.

“Tell him that any requests he wants to make for his disciple’s sake will be accepted. However, let Vice headmaster Sonora know to let the kid deal with his affair first before sending him, and convoke as many people as needed depending on the mission’s situation and importance. Sigh, go now.” The Headmaster turned around and waved at the young man to leave. After shouting his response, the young man left the bedroom and wished he could sprout wings from his back to relay this news as fast as possible.

“... Aiiish, aiyoo… It’s time to let the boy enter the world, huh?” Long after the young man left, the Headmaster returned to face the Kingdom’s map panel, his eyes placed on the right and went up and down at times, slightly to the left before returning to look at the right side only. Nodding his head, he added while speaking to himself to readjust and tranquilize his state of mind. “Mnh! He needs this now. Such a person could exist… how curious.”

***

A month later, on the 1st day of this year’s 2nd month. In one of the new stadiums built in the expanded Wrath Nihility Academy individual territory.

“And now, the Academy’s new Assistant Teachers will be named. To all of you, I congratulate you beforehand!! Come on, show these new Assistant Teachers their welcome into the Academy’s teacher life!!” An announcer spoke surrounded by millions of students, the brand new, recently admitted just a few days ago, and the old. In the middle, some thousands of chairs were set, with several hundred with people sitting on them.

Previously, the new Teachers and Sub Teachers were named, granting them the honor to become teachers in the Academy. Most Sub Teachers were old teachers who had worked harshly under the Academy, but the spots for a promotion from the Assistant Teacher status were mostly full. Now that the transition was already at its full course, every year from then on, thousands of new teachers would be promoted.

A minority became Teachers, a few became Sub Teachers, and many achieved their dreams and became Assistant Teachers. And currently, among the seated people in the middle, Clarke and Yon were waiting for their turn to be named. The announcer was charismatic. Everyone knew the last ones to be named were the Assistant Teachers, but he still got the entire stadium to applaud and cheer for these respected figures, about to become more beloved.

Finally, the announcer commenced shouting names, and hundreds of Leading Students were turning into Assistant Teachers! Some rogue cultivators, after several years of approbation periods, were also being called. Heian Ciemnosc, with his Team, and Elena, with hers, were standing on the bleachers, watching as the announcer finally called their seniors up to receive their title.

“Saberbone Diabolical Club’s club leader, Leading Student Clarke, You have been accepted by the Wrath Nihility Academy, becoming an Assistant Teacher!... Saberbone Diabolical Club’s club leader, Leading Student Yon. You have been accepted by the Wrath Nihility Academy, becoming an Assistant Teacher! Congratulations, both of you! Get up and let others show you their excitement~! Wahaaaa~!!”

CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP…

“...” Heian Ciemnosc smiled as Elena held his right hand with both of hers. After gazing at his seniors, who gave him and the others thumbs up and wide, proud grins, he looked up at the sky, wondering to himself…

‘Oh, some more years left to see you again, be well… Or I’ll really burn the whole world down…’

…
