As the ethereal voice began to speak, the one known as Sunny kept listening in silence.
[A Nameless slave, who was once filled with the thirst for revenge, ascended close to divinity. He killed many heroes and many monsters, showing off his will against the will of gods. Many died resenting, many revered him, but few loved him. But the Tyrannical ruler met his end by the hands of Nine. But his tyrannical defied Death and kept existing against all odds, until, he took over the body and fate of a treacherous shadow. Fate made way for him, so did the Heavens. Glorious! Your Tyranny truly kept up to its name, tyranny conquering the Seven Realms, conquering thousand of nations.]
[Your Aspect is ready to Evolve.]
[Evolve Aspect?]
[Y/N]
With an intrigued smile, Sunless spoke, "do it."
[Evolving aspect...]
[Aspect Evolved!]
New Aspect: Slave to Nothing.
Aspect Rank: Void]
Aspect Description: [Gods, were born from the Void and Desire. Desire to create. Desire for anything, but void. Desire to love, desire to protect and desire to rule. Their desire led them to create this beautiful and serene world. They loved their creations, even in non-existence, they desire to protect it. So, they bestowed their blessing upon a single man unbound to any of their will. A tyrant who fate cannot bind, cannot restrict. And that being is born a slave, but is slave to nothing.]
'Nothing? huh, it seems I am not bound to Shadow this time, but bound to 'Nothing'. ' The emperor thought.
[You have discovered a second true name: Nationless Tyrant.]
[You have discovered the previous true name: Lost from Light.]
"Wait! what?" The man with many true names looked at the runes with a dumbfounded expression. "Isn't one true name the limit for a being?"
[It is. But for a being who has lived 2 fates and is living it's third, it is a unique case.] The spell gave a brief explanation.
[Unsealing Dormant abilities...]
[Innate ability: Inseparable Bond.]
[Ability Description: Bonds are precious, even to the Divine. You may lack true bonds, but you will never stay alone. Find someone who you desire to be your partner and let them know one of your true names. Only one fate could be bound to another, so only three fates could be bound to you. Once bound, even Fate itself cannot shatter it, let alone you.]
The emperor smiled wryly. He was satisfied but at the same time troubled. 'Would she let me use other two after knowing? Can't imagine.' he shook his head with certainty, that he wouldn't need to use the other two opportunities of Fated Partners.
[Unlocking aspect ability...]
[Aspect Ability: Control of Divine.]
[Ability Description: You are blessed by the Divines. So you can control every creation of the Divines to some extent]
'So it's similar to shadow control, but it is under every gods.' Smiling the valiant king truly felt....wait what?
"HOW THE FUCK AM I SO OP-OP? Over Powered. good- SO OP!!! I forgot to notice, but WHAT T HE FUCK IS VOID RANK!!!"
["...."]
"...."
The spell whispered with jealousy? Sounded like it.
[You are already what you call 'OP' even if you got a Divine Aspect, with THAT kind of 'Will'. 'Void' rank is one rank above my own aspect which is higher than Divine.]
"But isn't it too ridiculous-"
[YOU GOT DIVINE SWEETS AS A SNACK!!! SO SHUT UP AND ENJOY IT!!!]
[And, it's not that I have full control over Fate. You got it yourself.]
"Can you at least explain me about the current situ-"
[All powers have a price.]
[You have awakened a Flaw: Clear Conscience.]
Flaw Description: [You cannot Lie.]
[Wake up Sunelss! Your Nightmare is over!]
"Wait! Wait! Wait! You Damn Spell!!"
The world spun as the space distorted, and the unwilling emperor lost consciousness with resentment.

Opening his eyes, the emperor saw a ceiling made out of iron. He tried to move his body but felt restrained.
He looked carefully, shaking off the dizziness, to see restrains binding him onto a strange seat, something similar to a torture bed, but it was...comfy to say the least.
"You're awake, I see." A female voice interrupted his train of thoughts. He looked over to see a familiar face, a bit too familiar.
A woman with short raven hair, deep azure eyes and pale skin that looked like she was dead. Actually, she is dead, and the emperor noticed it clearly.
Seeing the boy in a daze, the woman asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Your seductive corpse."
Both of their eyes opened wide. Sunless realized what he just said. 'Shit! I forgot to keep the flaw in check!'.
A slap, she held back considering her ascendent rank. A slap landed on the emperor's face, disgracing his pride for a reasonable cause. The pride of woman is scary, 'This brings back memories.'
He reminisced, remembering a death knight he...laid before. H-He was very young! He had desires! Also, it was before he met her, so no harm done!
'It seems she's also here. I got a good feeling that I will see her soon.' he thought.
"Are you awake?" The death knight in the previous life, named 'Terailin' meaning, 'Child of Souls' in the previous life. Ominous I know, it is still better considering how much of lunatics her parents were. She asked Sunless.
"Yes. Who wouldn't be after getting slapped twice by a corpse for indecent lang-" He quickly shut his mouth, realizing how....weird, if you take it lightly, it is.
Terailin gave him a weird and...slight disgusted look.
"It seems you know of my flaw. It's not really a secret for those with inspection type abilities. Since we origin from the same place, I'll let it slide." She sighed and began to remove the restrains on him.
After freeing the emperor, the woman looked at him and, "Please go clean yourself, you smell of death."
"Corpses like this smell, it should be enough to attract yo-"
"That is a racial- no, I mean, Statial assumption! Not all corpses like the smell of death!" She said and pushed him towards the person in blue uniform. Who looked at the pale boy with bewilderment and shock.
Looking back at the fierce soul reaper whose pale cheek had a bit red, the police officer was baffled to hell. 'Who the fuck is this kid!' he screamed internally.
Following orders, the police officer lead the boy towards the station shower, handing him a set of clothes.
