Chapter 22: A Guest
"Wh...what happened," Virgil spoke his voice weak and his body weaker
"Well you killed one of my servants something I never saw happening," spoke a voice unseen by Virgil
Looking around Virgil realized that he couldn't move his body he was playing flat in a black void.
"Sabastian what happened to me...Melody, is she okay?" Virgil asked
"I don't know who this Sabastian person is but Melody is fine you somehow removed the curse I placed on her. I think you might be more fun than I expected," The Voice continued
"W-who are you?" Virgil asked his voice filled with curiosity and slight fear
"Ah yes it seems she hasn't told you about me; that kind of breaks my heart. Well you can call me Athelstan I'm sure you two will have some interesting things to talk about," Voice said with a fake sad voice
"Who are you talking about what didn't they tell me?" Virgil asked
"Ask that system of yours. I hope you prove more entertaining than the others," Voice said as it faded away
"No don't go. Tell me where I am. Tell me what happened to me." Virgil yelled into the empty void
...
In a bedroom of the Belmont estate, Virgil could be found sleeping his body covered in sweat and a part of his once black hair now a platinum white. Next to him a woman dressed in a dark blue dress with long black hair holding his hand.
"Please survive...you truly are my last hope to spoke him," the woman spoke squeezing his hand
The next moment the woman's body faded away like sand being blown away by the wind.
....A few days later
"Has he woken up yet?" asked Alexander
"No his body is physically stable but his soul is cracked from him forcing his mana beyond its limits. I don't know how long it will take him to recover,"
"V I'm sorry b-because of me you ended up like this," said Melody while crying by his bedside
....One Week Later
"Melody please go get some rest I have the best Doctors looking into him all we can do now is wait," Malisa said
"No, I won't leave him until he wakes up,"
...2 Weeks Later
"This isn't looking good not a single movement the doctors are saying that he is brain dead," Alexander spoke nervously
"Now he is perfectly healthy this is just something that normal doctors can't understand," Alucard replied
"Is there anything we could possibly do?" Malisa asked
"No, I have never dealt with something like this I wouldn't even know where to start," Alucard sighed
....1 month
In the Belmont estate which now had a grin air to it Virgil who had been in a coma for a month had finally awoken.
"Where am I," Virgil spoke his voice raspy and dry
Slowly moving his head around Virgil found himself in a bedroom of some sort. But all around him was medical equipment that had been monitoring his health.
"W-what the hell happened to me?" Virgil asked slowly sitting up
{You're finally away do you know how worried we were? We thought that we had lost you!} Sabastian said popping up before Virgil
"Sabastian...tell me what happened and how long have I been out?} Virgil said
{You killed a reaper cure but it took a toll on not just your body but your soul}
"I-I see...what of Melody and the others?" Virgil asked
{They are fine but this placed you in a coma for a month. We did everything we could to heal you but after a while, all we could do was wait}
"It's fine I understand...What else happened what did I miss?" Virgil asked
{Well Justice Leauge is losing their mind trying to find you and the Belmont were smart enough not to say anything when they came snooping around}
"I mean events any signs of Trigons awakening or invaders?"
{No. Noting from what I could gather}
"Alright is there anything else that happened to my body I should know about?"
{Yes. Because of what happened to you there has been a change in your status}

"I'm thankful for all the experience and shop points but why was this limit placed on me?" Virgil asked
{To allow your soul and body to fully heal from any hidden side effects}
"I see but I need you and the system to explain something to me. Who is Athelstan?"
