Chapter 101: Mr. Level 11

Chapter 101: Mr. Level 11:

Malik found himself standing in the dreamworld, surrounded by the ethereal presence of the twin Goddesses of Love, Amora and Erosia. The air shimmered with a soft pink glow, and the goddesses' towering forms loomed above him, their eyes full of amusement and a hint of frustration. The dreamworld was a surreal landscape, with vibrant colors swirling around and the ground beneath Malik's feet shifting like sand.

Ignoring their gaze, Malik focused on the task at hand. He opened his quest log and read through his current main quests:

Malik thought about the first temple of the old gods he had found. The information had been imprinted into his mind:

{{

Upon entering the neglected temple, they were greeted by the statue of a creature with gentle eyes, an amalgam of an owl and an elephant. Thousands of candles illuminated the vast chamber. The large room housed several doors and three pools of water: the largest, a pool of blue water at the center; the second, green water halfway up a grand altar; and the third, yellow water at the altar's summit, under the most intricate statue.

Aethyra, the Goddess of Wisdom and Strength, is represented here. The owl aspect denotes wisdom, knowledge, and the capacity to traverse darkness, while the elephant aspect stands for strength, endurance, and a formidable memory.

Those in search of wisdom to surmount obstacles or strength to bear great burdens may call upon Aethyra. She is also revered as a guardian of the night, her owl's vision leading those astray in darkness, and her elephant's might shielding from dangers. Her adherents likely cherish knowledge, strength, and their harmony.

He then turned his attention to his other quests, contemplating their implications. The challenge of making every member of the Akatsuki fall in love with him seemed daunting, but he was determined. The quest to find the seven demons of sin intrigued him, the first demon he had encountered already proving to be a formidable adversary.

Amora's voice broke through his thoughts. "How does it feel to finally be in double digits for levels?"

Malik shrugged, trying to downplay his excitement. "Honestly, I don't feel any different."

The goddesses exchanged a glance before turning their attention back to him. "You're about to enter a cocoon, transforming into an incubus."

Malik's eyes widened in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me?"

They both shrugged nonchalantly. Malik approached them, his 5'4" frame dwarfed by their towering 12-foot forms. He opened his mouth to speak, but they interrupted him.

"We promise to be better in the future because you have done such a good job," Amora said. "But remember, you are our tool. We will use you and change you as we please. We like you, but you are a means to an end."

Malik didn't like what he heard but kept his emotions in check, offering them a fake smile. He knew they could read his thoughts and emotions, but he wasn't sure if they were doing so at the moment. Either way, they didn't seem to care or notice his anger.

"You should have seen the signs," Erosia added. "As an incubus, you will be able to visit others in their dreams. This could be in person, by sending out your soul, or simply by popping up in them."

They continued, explaining that this was why he saw the Akatsuki meeting in his dream. When others talked about them, and if events surrounding him were important, he would see them in his dreams. They also warned him that if the Akatsuki leader noticed him, other powerful individuals with the right abilities would too. He could interact with others and things when he dream-walked, including talking and taking items.

New Incubus Abilities:

Dream Walking: Malik can enter and manipulate the dreams of others, affecting their thoughts and actions.

Sensory Manipulation: Malik has the power to alter the sensory perception of those around him. He can make himself appear more attractive, change the way his voice sounds, or even alter the way his presence feels to others. This ability can be used to confuse, disorient, or attract others.

Desire Manifestation: Malik can bring to life the deepest desires of those around him, creating illusions that seem incredibly real. This power can be used to distract, manipulate, or even to bring joy.

Nightmare Induction: In contrast to his dream manipulation, Malik can induce nightmares in his targets. This can be used as a form of psychological warfare, causing his enemies to experience their deepest fears.

Passion Empowerment: Malik becomes stronger, faster, and more powerful the more intense the emotions are around him. This can be particularly effective in situations charged with strong feelings.

Energy Drain: Malik can drain energy from others through physical touch, replenishing his own stamina and power.

Dream world Influence: Malik can take and move things while in the Dream Walker state: This includes both the Dream/Waking worlds.

Emotion Amplification: Malik can amplify the emotions of those around him, making them feel more intensely. Not just Love or Lust.

"You will be asleep for at least a month," Amora said, her voice gentle but firm.

Malik felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him. The goddesses picked him up, cradling him in their arms, resting his glowing pink body on their very large bosoms. As he drifted off into what felt like sleep, the last thing he saw was the goddesses smiling down at him.
