The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

Damian's talent to acquire any type of energy for himself, to become any race, and even become the progenitor of any race just by assimilating their racial essence, his ability to assimilate basically anything into himself and use it to feed his own growth, potential, abilities, and power exponentially with seemingly no limits.

No one could possibly even begin to understand what his existence is; not even gods can comprehend what he is.

Hell, not even the all-seeing, all-knowing, absolute power of the system can analyze him.

This should be obvious considering even Damian himself doesn't understand the full extent of his existence…

yes, Damian himself doesn't know what he is.

He has lived through 14 lifetimes since his soul, which was considered an anomaly even before it developed consciousness of its own, came into existence long, long ago, even before civilizations started to develop in the universe.

Back then, it was an infant universe, one of the newly created universes in the cosmos.

Damian is currently living his 14th lifetime, and this is the first time in all 14 of his lives that he has finally managed to awaken his true nature.

The true nature we are talking about is his talents, his potential, the type of growth, and the originality of his soul that he has been displaying now, which he couldn't awaken in the past 13 lifetimes.

So he himself has no idea what he is capable of or how far his anomaly will take him on his path of invincibility and infinity.

He does have a visual impression of his unique anomaly through which he learned after awakening one of his talents, the [Spiritual Library].

He considers his soul like an infinitely stretching library filled with endless rows and columns of unwritten, empty books.

Each of these books represents a thing that makes up his existence, for example, things that make up who he is, like his soul, constitutions, energies he possesses, abilities, talents, races, etc.

Each of the books has endless pages that can be filled infinitely without limits, as long as the library is steady enough to hold the book.

Take the book that represents his race, for example.

Right now, it is filled with pages, each representing the races he possesses: Progenitor Human, Progenitor Vampire, Alpha Werewolf, High Demon, Dark Angel, and two other unawakened races he possesses.

The book will continue to add more and more pages as he continues to acquire more races in the future.

The same goes for the other books as well.

The book that represents his energies inside his [Spiritual Library] will also add more and more pages for every type of energy that Damian attunes to in the future.

The book that represents his talents will also add more and more pages for every talent Damian develops or acquires in the future.

And so on…

Everything that makes Damian, be it spiritual or physical, more related to souls, he can keep adding more and more to his [Spiritual Library], which he can manipulate as he wills, provided his soul and physical body are capable of handling the load.

Damian can sustain this by devouring souls and using them to feed his own soul, thereby making his soul stronger rapidly.

Damian found no weaknesses or drawbacks in any of this. His existence was perfect, too perfect, in fact.

It seems to be evolving without any limits.

He couldn't help but wonder: where would the limit lie?

Just how far can he grow?

Not to mention his unique ability to ignore all the rules that bind all forms of existence within the universe.

Even the three regulators of the universe, the Universal Tree, Positivity, and Negativity, are bound by rules of existence, but not Damian, even though he was born in this universe.

Maybe it's because his birth itself was something that goes beyond the rules of existence, so he carries that essence with him as he grows uncontrollable.

Damian was, in essence and existence, an anomaly.

No, he was the beginning of all the anomalies that would come in the future as a result of his existence, which would undoubtedly rise as he rose through the ranks.

Damian sighed. "I guess it's no use thinking about that… I just have to use my talents to the fullest and reap every gain I get..."

He raised his head and looked at the giant cliff on the tree-covered mountain. "Now I will become the original beast of the Night..."

He could feel it, even though his current race was the [Progenitor Vampire].

He could still feel what his other race inside him feels.

He could feel his [Alpha Werewolf] race within starting to get worked up as it reacted with the blood of the Night King inside him, and with the [Lunar Essence] that had been steadily increasing in the atmosphere as the giant blue moon rose to its peak, the sky becoming darker and the temperature growing colder and colder.

The six werewolf ministers could also feel it.

Something had changed within the Vampire King; his presence started to become stranger but at the same time familiar, and his presence was rapidly changing.

In a few minutes, the moon rose above the Vampire King's head, casting its bluish-white light gently veiling his figure as the Vampire King spread his arms, welcoming the cold energy generated by the giant globe of white rock glowing ethereally in the sky.

Damian started to walk toward the cliff as his figure began to be covered with bluish-white energy, appearing as if he was surrounded by thin bluish-white clouds.

The six werewolf ministers stopped in their tracks as they felt like they shouldn't go near the Vampire King in this state because they could feel their own bodies stopped in their tracks as if restricted by an unknown invisible force.

Their immensely powerful instincts, even far superior to the noble vampire, told them to stay away at a distance.

A light flashed, and in the next instant, the queen goddess of the werewolf race, Lenora, the goddess of Moon, Family, and Protection, appeared out of nowhere.

"Queen Goddess..." Sia, Veyla, Selia, Avenya, Leona, and Lea lowered their heads silently in respect.

The goddess simply nodded at them before turning her attention back to her husband.

She could feel the energy of the moon being attracted toward her husband like a magnet.

"It's as if nature itself is attracted to him..." Goddess Lenora thought, observing the giant moon hovering in the black sky.

She could feel it; as the goddess of the Moon, she has great influence over the moon and its essence.

Even without her intervention, the moon itself is attracted to her husband.

"Darling has been comprehending numerous laws simultaneously; it's no wonder the law of the moon is one of them... His understanding is growing at an abnormal rate I have never seen before... If this is how it is, it won't be long before darling achieves godhood..." Goddess Lenora smiled sweetly as she continued to observe her husband with a loving expression.

Damian continued to revel in the sensations of growing stronger as the [Lunar Essence] generated by the moon covered him, veiling him in a comfortable coldness.

A smile formed on his face as he felt his wife's presence behind him.

Suddenly, the energy generated by the moon gained a boost as if responding to the presence of the goddess of the moon.

The Vampire King's appearance started to change as his red eyes turned cobalt blue, and his physique grew bigger, becoming like a beast of a man as he switched his race from [Progenitor Vampire] to the race [Alpha Werewolf].

As soon as he turned into an [Alpha Werewolf], his presence started to evolve, reacting to the blood of the Night King flowing through his veins and the enormous amount of [Lunar Essence] he was receiving as his race started to evolve.

[Your race [Alpha Werewolf] is reacting to the enormous [Lunar Essence] and your [Blood of the Night King]]

[As a result, your race [Alpha Werewolf] has been triggered into evolving.]

Each of these books represents a thing that makes up his existence, for example, things that make up who he is, like his soul, constitutions, energies he possesses, abilities, talents, races, etc.

And in the next second, something inside him started to change, but on the outside his appearance didn't change because he was already in perfect peak condition.

He was already a king of the night, already the most perfected creature of the night to ever exist or ever will exist.

The only thing that changed was his neon blue eyes, which glowed with intense light before transitioning into a vibrant neon red color as they gave off a reddish energy.

Meanwhile, inside his inner world, the trees that represent each of the races he embodies released waves of light, and the thick neon blue tree representing his [Alpha Werewolf] race started to change as it grew larger and larger before its neon blue leaves turned vibrant red, and the shapes of its leaves became razor teeth-like.

His entire inner world shook as if it was met with a hurricane.

Out here in his inner world, Damian gently felt his transitioning being compelled.
