《Gambled World》Chapter 22

With his decision made Kal's body started to twitch violently. He was wracked with extreme pain and was wishing to die. He wasn't entirely sure what the hell he just did to himself but he is definitely regretting it at this moment.
Kal- "Ah....AHHH!......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
A wave of pure unbridle pain went through Kal before he blacked out.
--------------------------------
In an unknown plane of existence.
"So anyone want to tell me how in all the hells that we control this kid got those options?" A tall male speaks out among a group.
"It shouldn't be possible. I mean banshee and demon maybe but the third option wasn't even considered! We wanted something we could control not this! He was supposed to get Loup Garou, Vampire, and Harpy!" An armed woman speaks out.
"Interesting it seems there are more players on the board than we originally thought. Someone has taken notice of him as well, but the question is will we be able to work with him in this form?" A cloaked woman says.
"So long as he has hatred towards that bastard Chess than we should be able to manage. Plus he might be more inclined to deal with us "Dark Gods" than any of the "Light Gods" like Chess and the Spider Queen." The tall male says.
"True, but this unexpected turn of events is a little disturbing. Who know how he is going to develop now. After all Reapers are a race that are not to be underestimated." The last of the group a small female says.
"Then lets just keep watch and see what he does for a little while longer. Whoever intervened may not be against us. While his choice is troubling at least he has no enmity against us." The tall male says.
The dark gods all then nodded and left.
------------------------------------------
A few hours later back at the field.
Onyx finally woke up from her little fainting spell and looked around.

Onyx-"He could've let me sleep on his lap or something." She grumbled while looking for Kal.
When she did her eyes almost bulged out their sockets.
Onyx-"No way......Just what the hell happened while I was out!" Her shout echoes around the night.
Her surprise was a given considering the boy she knew for a short time had made some pretty eye-catching changes. His hair was now slightly longer and purple. His skin is more of pale color now with a shade of blue in it.
Moving forward she went up to check his eyes and saw that they had changed as well. They too had turned a deep shade of purple the color of dragonstone actually his eyes looked like two fine dragonstone gems! Other than that his appearance was the same just all aspects got a bit of a bonus. His skin was smoother and his muscles were toned down a bit and gave him more of a frail look. But if one would to feel his body they wouldn't find a trace of fat anywhere.
Onyx-"How did you become a Reaper!?" She really wanted to know what happened while she was out.
Onyx-"Well at least that solves the lifespan issue was going to have to figure out a way to forcibly increase it but with this you may outlive even me. Gratefully you didn't become a full reaper otherwise you would've lost a bit of your charm. The look is actually pretty good for you. Hmm hopefully you dont have that pesky problem with female reapers otherwise I may have to kill quite a few." Her eyes went dark at that.
After a few minutes, she heard some groaning and saw Kal start to move.
Kal-"Who hit me with a truck." He groans out.
Onyx-"I would be asking who hit you with Reaper genes."
Kal looked over at her confused.
Onyx-"Check your hair."
Reaching up Kal grabs some hair and notices he needs a haircut. Pulling down a strand he sees what she meant.

Kal-"So my hair is purple now.... Okay now how did that happen?" He turned his gaze toward Onyx.
Onyx-"Not too sure on that myself, after all I was unconscious. Although checking your stats may shed a bit of light on the situation." She replies.
Kal nods and does just that. What he saw left him stunned. Onyx shook her head and mumbled something about cheats.

Kal-"Holy shit! These are my stats!? Wait Reaper/Human 30/70?.....That potion! It turned me into something else!?"
Onyx-"Ah so you found a mystery potion that explains it."
Kal-"Mystery potion?"
Onyx-"Yes a mystery potion that when examined only shows ?'s and an undecipherable message. They do pretty much any random thing the one you got must have had a race change option which is the rarest among rares. Your luck is damn good." She shakes her head at him.
Kal-"I see... But my stats! my mana, int, dex, agi, and stamina took a huge leap! My strength only went to where the daggers raised it previously and my health took a drop but still! This is ridiculous!" He shouts.
Onyx-"I told you that humans were the weakest and well heres your proof. If you had become a full Reaper you might have gained a little more."
Kal-"Fucking discrimination!"
Onyx-"Oh did I mention that with this you will outlive every human on the planet now too?"
Kal-"Wait what!?"
Onyx-"Yep! Reapers tend to live very long lives. In fact if you get to a high enough level you could be downright immortal."
Kal-"Well I'll be damned. My health is a little disconcerning though. After putting the effort in to gain more I did a u-turn and dropped it." He finished with a sigh.
Onyx-"Are you serious!? Do you know how many being's would kill for the stats you have at your level!?" Onyx snaps and yells at Kal.
Kal-"My bad! I will appreciate what I got." He hurries and apologizes.
Onyx-"Damn right you will. Freaking human not understanding how amazing what he got is." She grumbles and points to his skills telling him to check his new ones.
Kal pretended not to hear her and check his new skills.
Soul Sight Passive (Max) (Racial): Allows one to see and touch the souls of both the living and dead. Reap Active (Beginner) (Racial): Reap the souls of all the creatures you kill and gain a portion of their experience. Cost 100 mana or 10 stamina. Soul Form Active (Beginner) (Racial): Turns the user invisible and intangible. Cost 200 mp or 20 stamina every minute. Warning possessors of soul sight can see and touch the user.
Seeing the new skills Kal could only smile.
Onyx-"What?"
Kal-"Well its a good thing we are on a battlefield. Because I have to test these new skills out."
Currently, Kal was staring at the souls of the dead all around him. And they just noticed he could see them as well and started shivering in fear.
Kal-"Now not even death is an escape." With that he went forward to test his new skills.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
