Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

As I glanced at my Skill, I noticed it had some labels in parenthesis that said that these Dream Weapons could evolve! And that they were Rank 1, but that means they don't automatically evolve or Rank Up and need my input in some way or form.

Also that doesn't tell me exactly what my Dream Heart Rank is, or if I even have one to begin with, because I don't really feel anything inside of my chest right now. I think the Skill creates a "fake Dream Heart" for me rather than giving me a real crystallization.

Or maybe I am clueless, and it has been there all along, and I simply had no idea nor could feel it!

Anyway…

"Hey System, how do I evolve the Dream Weapons?"

As I asked that, the two weapons appeared in my hands, which I then placed over the bed, they were quite huge and heavy, but the old bed held quite well.

…

"No response yet? Come on I know you're watching tell me what to do already!"

…

"Hey Michael, stop pretending you're not hearing…"

[Don't call me by my real name! It's prohibited! And it should be censored, but why isn't it censored?!]

"Maybe because I have {Boundless} so stuff like that cannot affect me, lmao."

[Those strange words children speak in this world are all getting to you now, stop talking like you're a young girl, you're way past your thirties!]

"S-Shut up! An old hag like me can dream to be a schoolgirl again, you know?!"

[No, you can't. Also did I mention I hate this world?]

"No but I could guess you did, like everything else. You're the CEO of Haters after all, for real no cap."

[Enough! Okay, I'll help. I simply… didn't want to interact. But I suppose you require my assistance. And I am your System…]

"Of course you are, so be obedient and help."

[Showcasing Dream Weapon Evolution Requirements…]

{Current Dream Weapons (2/2)}:

[Abyssal Nether Lord's Bone Titan's Blade: Rank 1 (Ready to Evolve)]

{Evolution Requirements}: [Highly Condensed Nightmare Core] x30 [Small Nightmare Demon Core Fragment] x1 [The Bones of an S+ Rank Nightmare Beast] x10 [5.000 Friendship Points] [20.000.000 System Points.]

[Umbral Moonlight Titaness Heaven-Splitting Halberd: Rank 1 (Ready to Evolve)]

{Evolution Requirements}: [Highly Condensed Nightmare Core] x30 [Small Nightmare Demon Core Fragment] x1 [The Bones of an S+ Rank Nightmare Beast] x10 [5.000 Friendship Points] [20.000.000 System Points.]

"Okay so the requirements are the same for both, huh? And I think I can do everything; I got all the materials!" I nodded confidently. "Sure, let's go for it."

[You currently have all available materials; do you wish to evolve the Dream Weapon: [Abyssal Nether Lord's Bone Titan's Blade: Rank 1 (Ready to Evolve)] into Rank 2?]

[Yes] [No]

[You currently have all available materials; do you wish to evolve the Dream Weapon: [Umbral Moonlight Titaness Heaven-Splitting Halberd: Rank 1 (Ready to Evolve)] into Rank 2?]

[Yes] [No]

"Alright!"

I pressed both [Yes] buttons, as I suddenly saw all the materials needed appear out of my inventory, and quickly rotate around the two Weapons.

Some time ago they were just really strong weapons I had reforged myself and made stronger, but now it felt like they were technically "alive" as they developed a Soul of some sort.

FLAAASH!

Both weapons absorbed the materials, as they started growing larger and overflowing with Dream and Nightmare Energies, they became more… I don't know how to describe it properly, terrifying?

They gained eyes and looked fleshy for some reason, but they were still good ol' weapons at the end. Even if they were kind of freaky now.

Ding!

[Congratulations! Your Dream Weapon: [Abyssal Nether Lord's Bone Titan's Blade: Rank 1] has successfully evolved into Rank 2!]

[Your Dream Weapon has gained a new appearance.]

[Your Dream Weapon's Stats have increased.]

[The Dream Weapon has developed a new Ability.]

Ding!

[Congratulations! Your Dream Weapon: [Umbral Moonlight Titaness Heaven-Splitting Halberd: Rank 1 (Ready to Evolve)] has successfully evolved into Rank 2!]

[Your Dream Weapon has gained a new appearance.]

[Your Dream Weapon's Stats have increased.]

[The Dream Weapon has developed a new Ability.]

"And they're done! Alright, let's check the sword first!"

I looked at its stats, and they had indeed changed!

More than I ever thought, actually.

Aaah, wow, this is big! It's amazing, even!

The new Ability is really unique, and it's made to kill Nightmare Demons, hehe.

But above all, all the new bonus stats and even inscribed runes are a nice touch, and this damned sword… it truly feels like it's alive now.

"Now, the halberd…"
