091: She knows too much
They continued to walk, following the little giggle that was floating around. The group ended up in a hallway, surrounded by knights. Each wearing a similar crest to the one that had attack Corey. The further they walked, the more evolved each armor looked. They weren't moving. No sighs of breathing or anything to indicate life. These knight must be stronger than the one he fought. They were certainly trapped. If the Celestia brought any of the knights to live, they would be outnumbered. The whole hallway was lined up with knights. There was a single door at the end. It opened just like the front door. Without them touching it. Everything, again, was for a giant. The hallway was massive. Corey was stunned they even got to the door in time. The anticipation was killing him. And he could finally see the woman they'd been on a death quest to meet. Sitting on a throne of bone, was Iriel. Corey froze, her palish skin. Strange eyes, and moving tentacles that made for hair on her head.

092: Death
By the time the light returned to Corey's eyes, it was already to late. He gasped and fought to get his brain to work. Corey gazed up at his surroundings, trying to remember where he was. If he was still jext to the Celestia. 'Iriel.' he thought with malice. She had been playing him like a toy. Speaking her truth like one of those know it all's that Corey hated in high school. Only, she acting knew the shit that she was spewing. How long had she watched him. She was different from the woman he had seen before. The one who had created the supernova, yet Corey saw the similarities. The Celestia could shift her form. He confirmed it by being awestruck. Seeing her beauty, and recalling the same laughter from the supernova incident did him no good in last hours. NewAge: YOU WERE REVIVED. IN YOUR LAST SAVE. 'Shit. She killed me?'NewAge: THAT WOULD BE THE GIST OF IT. 'That was faster than I expected.'NewAge: WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW? SHE WILL RETURN ANY MINUTE AS THOUGH NOTHING HAD HAPPE

093: Unlocked potential
Corey sat watching different memories, trying to understand what the Celestia wanted him to do. Was he not supposed to enter through this door? She said he hadn't unlocked the true ability. Which would make sense. He knew that already. She knew about his system, but for how long? Had she always known? Or did she come across that information recently?And if so, how could she have known about something she couldn't see? It made no sense to the teen no matter how many times he stirred his brain to think about it. Maybe there was a block that was preventing him from using NewAge to its full potential. Corey searched his memories for clues, nothing came up. Close to losing his mind, spotted another door. This one with chains on it.He stared at it for a long time wondering who thought of such a mess. Soon Corey was approaching the bounded door. Warning signs slapped all over the white wall. Causing a mess.There was a note attached to it. "Sometimes our greate

"She did something." Came his little whisper. What other explanation could there be? The Celestia had been speaking in riddles for so long, he should have known that she would try to pull a fast one on him. He had no evidence but surely, surely she had to have done something to Corey to make him this way. His aura hit Erogo like a bag of bricks."Such power…. Where have I felt this before?" There was something unmistakable about the aura. Something familiar, Erogo tried to recall where he had felt something close to being this strong and intense. He couldn't put his finger on it. Gripping the edge of the pillar he allowed his anger to boil. The Celestia was giving as good as Corey could give. So maybe there was hope of her killing him and he wouldn't have to worry about facing him. And if she failed, then he would have to take matters into his own hands and lock the teen's abilities the way he did hers. Which was quite scary now that he thought about it. She was going toe to toe, a

Chapter 095
Corey had to think and fight. Something he thought was relatively easy, only to be proven wrong now that he was submerged in water with a being who was born and raised in it. The Celestia wasn't giving him any opportunity to even breathe. She struck him several times with her tentacles and Corey tried to both deflect, and attack. All the while thinking of a way to take her down. He couldn't throw an energy beam at her, water made it difficult to throw at a good coordination. He couldn't use anything with fire, the reason was relatively obvious.And using anything that could cause a spark of electricity would only make him suffer.He wondered how she could do it without feeling anything. And he couldn't swim from her. Not only was she big enough to catch up in a second, but she move one leg forward and it would hit Corey from wherever he was. There was no escaping anything she did. Especially her tentacles. They'd knocked him into the wall twice now, and their bolts

096: Discussion
"We're spending the night here. At this…. Honestly it's quite beautiful, but she is creepy." Pamela whispered to the girls as they gathered snacks from the fridge the Celestia had led them too. She twisted her upper body to check for the woman and found her peeping at them from behind the corner. Eleanora spotted her as well, the Celestia lifts up her left hand and waves to them. "Yeah, I agree. She is creepy. She's treating us like a project. Analyzing our moves, and-""Is no one going to mention Corey? He's changed, drastically." Verosika doesn't hide the awestruck feeling in her tone. "He's smoking!" "Smoking what?!" Verosika tapped Yumiko at the back of her head. "Don't be a moron. He's hot. And different. What did she do to him?" Verosika swooned, trailing her gaze until it landed on Corey. He was poking Borba's flexed her arm, and Gogo squealed while Corey kept touching her bicep. Pamela removed her eyes from the Celestia. Who could have entered the kitchen but chose to wat

Chapter 097
Strange numbness filled Corey's side, his eyes flashing to white before they went back to their normal color. He could hear several heartbeats, he could feel heated skins against his making him feel like he was trapped in a sauna. He squirmed, freeing his right arm and shaking the sweat off his forehead. Corey spotted Iriel, sitting on a stool watching him. She had on his hoodie, legs kept apart with a cup of tea in one hand. She raised her left brow at him, and he reached out an arm. Her tentacles wrapped around it, pulling Corey into the air then setting him on his feet.He thought up grey pants, and a black shirt."How long have you been up?""Four hours.""And you were just watching us sleep?""No, I went to make some tea. Then I put Pamela on the bed, along with Mikayla-"Corey glanced back to the massive bed, all the women were there. Including the two she just mentioned. Who hadn't joined their initial rump."You brought them from their rooms here?"Iriel gave him a sharp bo

Chapter 98
Erogo walked back and forth in his home, questioning all that he knew. He replayed every word spoken to him by the Celestia. All the riddles, wondering where he had missed an important clue. His breath staggered and he held on to one of his chains and growled loudly.So loud it could be heard thousands of miles away. He was an angry beast. Annoyed at the thought of being bested by a child. And not just an ordinary child, human who was beneath him. No he couldn't let that happen.He had to do something. Something to stop and ruin Corey.But what? He thought about his previous plan, to use Corey's mother and step father against him but he felt that came up too short. And it wasn't a fool proof idea. In fact there were thousands of holes in it. Concentrating hard, his mine tried to pull up ideas. The different creatures he had locked up. Creatures who could harm Corey. "Shit, but the Celestia is now on his side."With her, Corey was almost invincible against any foe he sent. So he nee

Iriel was a confident creature. Corey had women who displayed confidence, but none ever like her. His breath felt warm against his palm as he blew into it. Stroking his finger through his own hair, and untangling some curls. She was making tea for herself, using her tentacles so she did not have to move an inch from where she sat. Once her tea was made, she placed a mug on a costar and drew towards her mouth. "I'll cut through the BS, and unimportant shit. I wanted power, and I wanted a quick way to get it. I love to mess with people, almost like I'm playing with my food. I believe in violence. I believe some people were made weaker than others. And the weak ones are pathetic. I'm not a good person. I will never be a good person. And the second I realized how crudely my thoughts were, I decided to accept them and venture deep into the dark arts." She pasued, gulping the warm liquid. Corey picked up the scent of cinnamon. "Some of the things I tried at first required a sacrifice. Yo

100: Eleanora leaves
After months of living in this world, Corey was still impressed that the could find new things to obsess about. And he meant obsess. Really obsess over something and let it occupy your entire life. The plan had been to take Corey to a little place where he could sign up and train. Halfway through their trip, they ran into a dragon mage. She hadn't seen them at first but her dragon apparently smelt Greta and went flying for the undead Luna. Corey had been listening to Yumiko while she argued with Luke about how the God's confidence was stupid considering how he only had one eye. She couldn't understand that he was trapped no matter how many times Luke tried to explain it.Which left Corey with an interesting sight to laugh and withness. The frustration she caused Luke had not been enough to shut down his senses when he felt incoming target. Iriel had caught the dragon and intent on killing it if the mage hadn't tried to attack her. Eleanora felt something and came out before the Cele
