《Spirit of Darkness [BL]》 1 - Life 1 - Life Darkness, that¡¯s all I could see. I was trapped in a dimension of endless darkness with no sources of light yet I could somehow see. It was strange and after a few hours I slowly adapted to see clearer within this dome and I had noticed a floating lotus in the very centre of the dome. As soon as I set sights upon the flower I had an inexplicable urge to touch it. I stood in the centre of the dome directly under this lotus and reached up trying to touch this flower. After 4 consecutive tries on the 5th try I had figured that if I bent my knees slightly and propelled myself I could probably touch the flower and so I bent my knees and propelled myself and my finger ever so briefly brushed against the flower. When I returned to the ground the lotus plunged into my forehead but surprisingly no resistance was felt as it fazed through my forehead and into my mind. Just as I was about to give up I had suddenly gotten an excruciating headache that felt like my mind was slowly ripped apart. When I had awoken I realised a giant timer was now within this dome and I had immediately known that it was the amount of time from when I was born and from this I had noticed that I was asleep for 7 days after the lotus had plunged into my forehead. The timer read:This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. [8days, 13hrs, 12mins, 48sec] The lotus that I had absorbed was known as a [Natural Info Lotus] NIL which was given to all naturally born spirits. From the information I was given I found I was the son of a Dryad and was a conscious tree and this dome was my spirit realm. I was technically considered a new born spirit consciousness with no spirit sense however I had found out that in this world there was a skill that all conscious beings had be it humans, gods, fairies, demons or even monsters who had obtained consciousness and this skill was [Spirit Screen] [Spirit Screen] was an ability that only those with consciousness where automatically given as a gift from the god of knowledge Satom to fight the beasts and monsters who do not have consciousness or intellect. This gift was initially severely underestimated as it was given to all intelligent beings however its true power did eventually shine when the elves figured that it tells them their strengths, weaknesses and abilities in great detail. This however greatly infuriated the Beast Father Ludon also known as God of Beasts as he argued that this preferential treatment however the gods sided with Satom the god of knowledge. This Lotus gave me a lot of relevant knowledge but a large amount of irrelevant knowledge, anyway I decided to use this skill so I said [Spirit Screen] and semi-transparent blue screen appeared in front of me ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Somnium Level: 1 Title: none Age: 8Days Race: Magic Trees Skills: [Auto-Pilot] [Photosynthesis] [Root Strike] [Hibernate] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª After a few minutes I skimmed through the knowledge given to me by the Lotus and I had found out that I would gain the skill [Natural Sight] at the age of 2. I was extremely excited but after another day I had finally had enough and said out loud activate [Hibernation] for 2 years. After that it all went black. update every Friday 2 - Sight?

My magic had become a skill and so I decided to reveal myself to the fairy village around me. I slowly left my soul space and was part of my body once again but before I could reveal myself to the fairies my trunk was cut in half and was set on fire. This excruciating pain surrounded my very soul and soon I felt a crack in my soul. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª You have been killed by [Higher Dark Fire] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª When I opened my eyes this time I was in an endless dark space but this time I was certain it was not my soul realm. In this endless darkness a small orb of blue energy appeared as well as a purple cloud surrounded by a glitter like aura. As I went closer to them I reached out and slightly caressed the purple orb and nothing happened but after a few seconds both object plunged into me and I had once again lost conscious.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. When I had awoken my very knowledge had been rewritten and apparently my [Natural Info Lotus] had been tampered with. With the new knowledge I was given I found that my [Spirit Screen] skill was upgraded because I was given a blessing. My skill [Spirit Screen] had evolved to become [Soul Screen]. This blessing was very commonly known as succession. Succession was something the gods/goddesses/immortals/deities do when they where tired of being immortal and wished for someone to take there place. However succession also occurred when such being was dying due to external means or had made mistakes with improving there skill set. I finally understood that it was time for me to return to the world I was in previously so I closed my eyes and fell into a trance. When I had opened them I stood in front of a large shadow like being who stood in front of a portal like structure filled with a multitude of colours. As he slowly moved to the right I recognised this portal with the knowledge given to me by the gods as the doorway of reincarnation. 4 - Shrine? I shook myself awake as I was slightly disoriented and looked down around me; laying next to my nest was; a set of nightwear, a purple robe which was embroidered with beautiful flowers and birds, a white medical looking piece clothing, a plain black top, a pair of black bottoms, a bracelet, a book and a pack of some kind. I looked at it doubtfully; it had to be mine as no other living being looked to be around this...what was it...a Shrine? a Temple? an Altar?Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. 5 - Forest?
