…
[Your Soul Sea is Boiling with Power.]
[A new Blood Core is Taking Shape from the Blood Sea.]
Lilith felt a strange chilling cold sensation spread in her soul.
[A new Blood Core has been Formed.]
Lilith was panting hard but she didn't fall down. Lilith could clearly feel her body had become much stronger and faster.
as if her body became lighter. her muscles could clearly move faster and deliver stronger blows..
But the spell kept speaking.
[The Second Curse is Unleashed.]
[Awakening Dormant Powers..]
Lilith felt once again a Cold and Chilling feeling from deep within her Soul. It reminded her of the feeling of Fear and power. but she could not feel fear anymore. so only pleasure and power remained.
[Awakening Aspect Ability…]
[...Aspect Ability Acquired.]
[Aspect Ability Name: Magic Wielder.]
…'Ill check everything later..'
[Wake Up, Lilith!]
…
Just like that, Lilith opened her eyes.. she was im a sleeping pod, but she was not in the first Floors of the Awakened Academy, she was in the Lower Floors.
She got out of the Sleeping pod and talked to a member of the staff, she was asked if she wanted to rest first but she declined and said she hat time to sleep later.
She followed the staff member and was brought to an office, while Lilith waited for the Government Official to come to assess her journey in the Dream Realm, Lilith Checked her runes.

_____________________________________________
As soon as Lilith finished to read all her runes, the government Official, a Lady wearing a formal suit, she was around 35/40 years old, Lilith could tell by the smell of her Blood.
During her journey on the Dream Realm, Beside constantly fighting she also got used to her Vampire transformation, But, she was somehow still a terrible fighter.
its true she fought against many Awakened and Fallen Creatures, But, it was also true that however of an incredible feat that was, they were all similar, they were soldiers, knights, warriors, archers, champions, there were even a few witches and some annoying necromancers who kept getting the things i killed back up, no matter how mangled they were....
but after Lilith fought tents and hundreds of the same creatures, she was bound to get used to their patterns and attacks.
It was also easier because the enemies became powerful very slowly and gradually. There were no Tyrants or Terrors, and very few Titans.
As a Consequence, Lilith felt like her Ability as a Fighter/Warrior, her fighting style was still very weak and underdeveloped even though she spent almost 7 months in that Catacombs.
The Government Lady Asked Lilith a few questions and wrote on her Laptop as Lilith spoke.
"..So as a brief report would be: I killed about 400 Nightmare Creatures of mostly Awakened and Fallen rank. Most were either Beasts or Monsters but I also killed a few Demons and Devils. There was not much else to do besides fighting and going down those dreadful stairs, and finally, after almost 7 months, I found a Gate Guardian and killed it. I immediately entered the Gate as the structure was collapsing. At the moment, I don't have a Gateway…"
The Government Official took note of everything. She was very shocked, but had to keep her composure. It was a professional interview after all.
After that she asked Lilith about her new Aspect Ability and she did not reveal it. asked if she received a True Name and Lilith kept quiet. She asked if she needed psychological counseling, and Lilith politely declined, and then she Asked if she needed help selling memories, to which she likewise refused, saying she didn't get any memory that needed to be sold.
Now that Lilith was Awakened, she was a bit troubled. why? well, of course because as soon as she fell asleep, she would be sent to another random, dangerous place in the Dream Realm. The only way to change that would be to choose a faction, either Valor or Ravenheart, or lesser clans, Lilith knew that with her new issued SSA/SS Grading.
Lilith was now a Special Strategic Asset, which was short of 'you can choose what the fuck you want' but Lilith.. didn't know what to do.
She was actually considering letting Fate decide where she would appear once she fell asleep again, but that would be foolish and stupid.
She was also happy that her citizenship got promoted from rank 5 to rank 7. it was a boon of being an awakened myself, instead of the child of one..
'..Focus!.'
She grabbed Paper and Pen and sat down, analyzing the pros and cons..
but that as well was a problem.. why? because she could not make calculations based on Data she didn't have yet..
So, she got up and decided to go on a walk.
Lilith was wearing the [Void Dress] even now. although she had an actual Armor Memory, more than once actually, the Void Dress could change shape freely, which was a Big Boon.
So, she was wearing casual clothes right now. a green shirt, a black corset, a black jacket, with a long green two piece skirt, with black boots and a Green circular hat she wore at the left side of her head.
She moved through the city as she taught…
First of all, She analyzed her new Aspect Ability better.
[Magic Wielder], it sounded good and all.. but actually, she could not use it, At All.
Why? because she suspected it went directly in symbiosis with her Aspect Legacy… Which Lilith didn't know how to unlock, not even a single [Floor]. She was given no instruction on how to, after all.
And the description of her Aspect Legacy didn't seem to give her any hint either. She put aside this problem momentarily since she was helpless in that regard. She found solace that with her Vampiric form, she could easily defend and kill Nightmare Creatures of Awakened Rank, and defend/run from Fallen ones.
The next pressing problem beside Choosing where to anchor herself in the Dream Realm, and the Problem of her currently useless Aspect Ability, was that she had tons of Soul Shards and she wanted to sell a few Memories.
it wasn't really a problem if she went to some online market to buy useful memories. The problem was that she also wanted to sell James's memories, but she didn't want the trouble of possibly getting caught having the memories of a now Hollow Dreamer.. it could easily be used to incriminate her.
she could obviously defend. but that was a waste of time, after all it was the words of a dead person against that of a living person.
But Lilith knew it would just be far easier to go to a Black Market. There, she could sell things in anonymity without a problem so long as she paid a fee. which she didn't mind paying considering she had enough soul shards to saturate someone's core in a bag.
There was also the problem of how to get Blood Fragments now, without an Awakened Aspect, it would take a lot of time to grow stronger in the Wilderness of the Dream Realm..
But Lilith did have a few ideas.. Not really legal ideas, but she could pull them off now that she was awakened.. Probably, at least, she had to take a few tests first..
'..Ahh! too much thinking in too little time. I'm used to killing and sucking the blood of everything that moves all day long, this is too bothersome.. I need to go buy some military-grade stimulants.. I may be awakened but sleep could always catch the worst of times..'
Lilith Contacted Master Jet, But that was unfortunate. Jet was Stationed in Antarctica, along with many more masters and awakened trying to save as many civilians as they could.
This was troublesome.. but also gave her more leverage on the previous idea of how to get Blood Fragments… with most awakened shipping off to Antarctica. the security here must be almost nonexistent, as those who remain must bear more important tasks.
Lilith sent a text to Jet. 'Make sure to survive, Friend.'
***
By the Evening, Lilith bought normal stimulants, with those, she could stay up for 1 or 2 weeks.
Then she scheduled a meeting with both clan Valor and Song representatives on two different days, wanting to hear their offers as soon as possible.
She likewise applied for a very famous Black Market ticket and was confirmed. it cost her 10 Awakened Soul Shards, but she got it. It was in 5 days.
Finally she went home and greeted her family. She didn't bother explaining her adventure in the Dream Realm as it would be published tomorrow morning on Tv. it was not every day, or even every year one received an SSA evaluation after all.
***
In the night. She tested her theory and got positive answers.. which meant she was free to collect A LOT of Blood Fragments.
What did she do? Simple, Since Lilith is at the end of the day, a true Vampire. She is invisible to Mirror… and Cameras, likewise for CCVT's cameras. no matter how much technology advanced, it was impossible to spot something invisible and that did not emit any body heat.
Which meant that she could sneak in Hospitals, Hollow Facilities, and even the Awakened Academy… and drink the blood of everyone who was defenseless.
Lilith felt a little bad about it, it was.. somewhat weird. but she didn't choose how her Aspect worked.
Besides, even if she was Caught, she could simply manipulate the truth a little. After all, Lilith did Need to drink blood as food to survive and grow stronger. if she went on a trial. she would probably win anyway.. Right?
Well, not like anyone would find out, after all, the tests were successful, she could be invisible to CCTV, Phones, Mirrors, and so on at Will. this was a privilege of a [Royal Vampire].
