Chapter 24
I’m shrouded in yet more darkness. I could probably call it an old friend at this point.
Are you ready to begin? I will activate [Symbiosis].
Whooo… I’m ready Advice. Punch it.
Beginning [Symbiosis]… searching for viable targets.
Target found. Synchronizing magic wavelengths…
Error detected. Target is lacking a core soul.
That’s weird. I thought you said this would work?
Adjusting actions… WARNING! This skill is not authorized for body takeover! Upgrade skill immediately before proceeding!
I never heard anything about this!
I’m getting that hot feeling from before again. The magic must be going out of control. I have no choice, upgrade!
[Symbiosis] has been upgraded to [Synergy].
Reevaluating target… Accepted. Proceed?
Yes, hurry up.
Combining cores… done.
Combining skills… done.
Combining Titles… done.
Combining status… error.
What now?!
WARNING! Magic capacity overload! System error! System error! System error!
Something violently shakes me. It then happens three more times. What in the world is going on? I can feel magic rapidly leaving my body.
Emergency venting partially succeeded. Magic is still at excess levels.
Congratulations! Your level has increased by 1! You have been awarded a skill point! You have been awarded 10 stat points! Base stats have increased!
…Huh? What a weird time to level up. Can’t you see I’m a bit busy here?
Upon reaching level 30, you can now evolve again.
Like I said, busy!
Pebble, please evolve. I have miscalculated this body’s specs. At this rate failure is imminent. Also…
WARNING! Target body has a secondary unit! Attempting to split conscious.
An earsplitting headache suddenly attacked me! Like someone grabbing your head and trying to pry it open!
Argggh!!! It hurts like hell!
Wait, who the hell are you?!
That’s what I want to know!
WARNING! Soul fracture is imminent!
Would you like to evolve?

YES!!!
YES!!!
And with that I blacked out. The headache disappeared and I felt really at ease.
“Yo, it’s been a while.”
I look back to see that freaky creature I met in the beginning. The one who told me to reincarnate.
“Don’t tell me… I died, didn’t I?”
The creature was in his usual carefree pose of lying on his side. Is it laziness or arrogance I wonder?
“Nah, you’re fine. Right now you’re in the middle of evolving. I just thought I’d check up on you and see how you were doing.”
“Well, that is surprisingly nice of you.”
“You say it like I’m normally an asshole…”
It’s your own fault for the half-baked explanation in the beginning.
“I may have a slightly bad impression of you.”
“That so. Anyway, it seems you caught the attention of my buddy, the Death God.”
Oh yeah that title…
“It was pure coincidence.”
“He’s been keeping an eye on you, you know? Says the shit you get into is hilarious. It’s even starting to affect his work…”
“Isn’t that just slacking off?”
“It’s fine if nobody notices.”
Words fail to describe what I’m currently feeling right now.
“It’s good to see you are doing fine. I’ll send you back. Keep up the good work of not dying.”
I felt a hazy sensation and the creature disappeared.
Pebble, are you alright?
Oh, Advice. Seriously, what happened?
It is my own fault. I have risked your life. Forgive me.
We are still alive right? Then it’s all good. What about the body? Did it work?
It was a success. The evolution made it possible.
What a relief.
Strangely I felt really tired. Mental exhaustion maybe?
Whatever it is, I need a nap. I’ll figure out this body later.

Delve
Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside. None of those are right to me. For me, to delve is to seek the truth. Delving into that dark abyss and coming back with answers. To leave that safe refuge and suffer the pain of the outside just because it is real. This is the story of me delving deep into the truths of the universe. Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well. Jack is a regular citizen of modern society: he works on an office, uses public transport every day, receives a meager salary, and drowns his frustrations with entertainment and alcohol. Maybe, the only thing that sets him apart from many others, is his unique outlook on life. Despite feeling an unfillable void in his soul and suffering from deep depression, he still sees as his duty to be a functional, exemplary member of society. All in order to prove his life-goal point: no matter how good you are, life is still shit. This point-of-view, however, will be challenged by circumstances as a mysterious encounter with a weirdly dressed man takes him to a strange and dark cave. In this place, he will have to fight for his life against fantastical creatures from fiction, and more importantly, get face to face with his own nature. In doing so, he will uncover secrets about the cave that will change both him and all he ever thought to be true.

P.A.D. World (Rebirth)
This is the story of two worlds. One is known as real and the other as virtual. But let the question be explored: What is reality to you? Synopsis: In a future of corporate rule, virtual technology and physical-derived coding have become the norm. With technology advancing at an alarming rate, the CEO of one such corporation, Shinji Takamura, discovers a code derived from the world itself. He dubs it: The Universal Code. After implementation, Takamura accesses a world that feels as real as his own. Following his death, the three largest tech companies unite to finish the ultimate virtual reality game: Puzzle and Dragons World. The closed LAN Beta Test is ready to admit the best Players of the original Puzzle and Dragons. Ray Andylon is one of these few chosen to test the new virtual game. But Ray and the other Players soon find themselves questioning the world's reality. War looms as the malicious agendas of enemy Players and monsters are revealed. And in the real world, conspiracies unfold that could threaten both worlds. Cover Art is "Puzzle and Dragons_Metatron" by shadowsinking. Check her stuff out! Seriously!DA:https://www.deviantart.com/shadowsinking Twitter:https://twitter.com/shadowsinking?lang=en This story currently has a biweekly schedule (may shift to weekly). Sometimes, I am able to get out earlier chapters. Note: This story is not a typical fanfiction. It is mainly an authentic work. This story only uses monster names/appearances, names of locations and the orb-matching strategy combat system from the app game on android/ios. The rest is original, which means prior knowledge for readers is not required. The app game has no plot, and this work also has no relation whatsoever to the anime aired starting in 2016. The goal was to create a story using these monsters, giving them personalities and purposes beyond just images and stats.
