82 True Name 8

Finally after two weeks, my bank was missing less than 1% and I started counting the seemingly infinitely long seconds before it hits 100%.

And then it finally happened.

At first nothing happened until I was starting to feel a slight pull on my soul, calling me back to the Underworld. I had expected that I would need to go back to the Demon Realm to receive my name after what had happened with the Skeleton during my first summon.

Unlike others, I didn´t need to wait for my summoner to allow me to go back and just teleported to my old cave.

When I arrived I was instantly enveloped in the Will of the Underworld but since the demons had such a great respect for this process, the Demon gods claimed that it was their will and because of this it was commonly know as the Will of the Demon Gods, thought right now none of that mattered.

I was a bit concerned that it wouldn´t work due to my unique soul but my worries proved unnecessary when I felt a new form of energy get introduced into my soul and caused a reaction there.

When the new energy entered my soul, it quickly got absorbed and something started to resurface from the depth of my soul. It were letters and symbols in languages I had never seen before and even my ability to understand the meaning and intent behind something didn´t help me.

It's not that I did feel their intent but I just couldn´t understand it, it´s like how humans just can´t imagine a new color, the things that it was trying to make me understand were just too complex for me but I had a vague clue.

Even though I didn´t understand my name I knew how to speak it out, only problem being that this was some prime eldritch insanity inducing sound. Humans or any mortals at that wouldn´t be able to survive hearing it, much less pronounce it.

Just knowing my true name was enough for me to have a sense of completeness and identity like never before.

The Will of the Underworld had already left but I could still feel some changes happening besides my true name but I couldn´t yet tell what they were. From what I could tell the energy I received was given to all demons during their naming and was responsible for bringing out their name as well as give them a huge power update but since I didn´t have a body to evolve or too much energy to further increase, it just went to my soul.

While the new energy was probably still going to need a few hours to finish, I decided to use my new-found sense of identity to give myself a mortal name that I could use in case I ever needed it.

After a bit of thinking I finally found a name that felt right and had at least some similarities to my true name. I decided on the name Zerr'on Talex Ur'gazoth or if this was still too much just Zerron or Zero, thought I wasn´t really fond of the last one since it sounded like these clichés I hated.

After getting used to being called my new name by repeating it for hours straight, the change in am soul came to an end.

I felt a few changes in my soul but no apparent reason for them, until it hit me. The reason I felt different in both soul AND body was because the lines between these two became a bit blurry but it was still there.

This might not have been a big deal for most being but for me it was mayor because that meant every time my body changed and evolved, so did my soul. That had some very interesting but important effect such as me gaining affinities to all the elements and concepts my body has as genes.

For example, I recently created the Power of Destruction by fusing several powers together but this power stemmed from my body and without my body I would be unable to use it but now that I didn´t have this limitation anymore, I could use all my powers I had with my body without it.

And that wasn´t all. It wasn´t just my body that influenced my soul but also the other way around. This caused my magic to fuse with all my other powers. All the powers I now had were neither magic or a superpower but a whole new category which I didn´t even think had a name so I'm just gonna keep calling it powers.

That were pretty much all changes. I admit there were more than I thought but they weren´t as game changing as it usually is when a demon gets its name.

Anyway, now that I no longer had a reason to act as the obedient demon, its time to let loose and by that, I mean plant my trusty old World Tree, search for Dragons across all universes, fuck some beauties and pay a visit to both the Heavenly Gods as well as the Demon Gods.

This going to be fun.
