New World
Alan's Body

Wiu.... Wiu...

The sound of the sirens of ambulances that came made an uproar for all students living in the Dormitory of Mediterranean University. They flocked to cover the park between two buildings, to witness what happened.

"Who? What's up?"

Question after question continued to rise among the students. But no one can give an answer. The health workers who came with the ambulance seemed to cover everything. Whether it is the identity of the patient brought or the condition of the patient. Until the ambulance left the Mediterranean University area, the question was not answered.

Only Toni knows the details for sure. It was also because he was the one who called an ambulance to come to his dorm.

"Wake up..." Toni stared at her best friend who was lying limp in the ambulance. His eyes filled with immense guilt on his best friend. Many times he shook his best friend's body, but there was no response at all.

Yep... Alan was Toni's best friend. It's been three days now that Alan hasn't taken off his VR helmet at all. His body condition was so weak, Alan's pulse and breathing almost reached the threshold.

The ambulance arrived at the place they were supposed to go, Mediteran Hospital. The nurses moved so quickly as they pushed the push-bed carrying Alan's body from the ambulance into the fast-service room. The doctor immediately examined Alan's body, while the nurses who had pushed the push bed, now changed to install a life support tool to Alan's body.

Crick... The door sounds open.

Half an hour later, the doctor who examined Alan's condition came out of the service room quickly. The look on the doctor's face was so sweet, as if he was just about to face a problem that he could not solve.

"How is the condition Doctor?" Toni who was waiting in front of the room was impatient to know the condition of her best friend. If anything untoward happens, Toni can't help but blame herself.

Toni was the one who forced Alan to come to play New World, Toni was the one who introduced Alan to a Virtual Reality game. He did not think at all, a game that would usually provide entertainment to his players. Now even give nestapa to his best friend. The feeling of guilt filled his mind.

"We can save his life. Fortunately, help was quickly given to him. If it were only a few hours late..."

"Then how is he now, doctor? Is he conscious?" Without waiting for the Doctor to finish his sentence, Toni had already flooded the Doctor with questions that haunted him.

"I'm sorry... But the case of this patient is really new in medical personnel. We can only wait for him to come to his own senses."

"What do you mean doctor?" Toni who does not understand the science of medicine certainly does not understand, after all he is not able to think clearly.

"The patient's brain is connected to the helmet he wears. We can't regain consciousness as long as the helmet's still on."

"Why not just let the doctor go?" Toni begins to burn with emotion after finding out that the Doctor is not doing his best to Alan.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wellington... If we force him to take off his helmet, we fear a brain defect will occur. We dare not take risks. For now this is all we can do."

Toni's emotions instantly subsided after hearing the Doctor's explanation. Doctors are not not trying their best, they just can't. Toni was bowed lethargic after knowing the condition of her best friend.

"We can only pray for his consciousness. Be patient..." The doctor patted Toni on the shoulder and stepped out of the corridor where they were standing.

"Can only pray?" Toni looked at Alan's body from the slit of glass that was stuck on the door. It looks how Alan's body is touched by life-support tools.

Thits...

Thits...

The heart rate-detecting sound became the only sound in the room where Alan was treated. Toni is still faithfully sitting next to him, waiting for a miracle to come with Alan who opens his eyes.

"I'm sorry Alan..." Toni's tears began to drip from the end of her eyes. Regret is constantly being a guest who has absolutely no intention of leaving his mind.

"Yes...."

Alan's screams echoed throughout the corner of the room he was in. Alan's body was curled up on the floor, in the middle of a magic circle made of blood. In the magic circle is written letters that cannot be understood.

Such intense pain was piercing into his body. Several black shadows were flying around Alan's body, the shadow was constantly trying to get inside Alan's body.

"You want power, don't you? Hold that pain... Make that pain your new source of strength!" Azazel's voice was no less loud than Alan's scream. The difference in Azazel's voice was the pressure of his strength.

"Ah... Damnit... Why does this hurt so much..." Alan biting his own teeth endured the pain he felt. The pain comes from a part of the body that is impregnated by shadows. The shadow was like a needle that pierced and then seeped and became one with Alan's blood. Until it finally ends in the Heart, making Alan's Heart beat faster.

Alan did not expect that he would have to face such intense pain when he had to accept the power of darkness that Azazel had given him.

Forcibly infusing the Demon's blood into his body. In order to obtain the true power of darkness from Azazel, Alan needed to transform his race into the demon race. And this was one of the processes Alan had to go through to become a Demon.

"Enjoy that pain! Savor... And you'll enjoy the results after you get through it."

Azazel's words did not enter Alan's ears at all. Alan's body was too preoccupied with the pain he felt rather than having to listen to Azazel's words.

The shadow of the black shadow that flew around Alan began to diminish bit by bit. Alan was getting used to the pain he felt. The sensation of being pierced when the shadow penetrated into Alan's body began to decrease as Alan's body was accustomed.

The heart rate that increased due to the Demon blood that entered his body was now only a rhythm of Alan's pain accompaniment. The last shadow that flew around Alan's body now began to enter Alan's body.

"Yes..."

Different from what already. The last shadow that entered Alan's body entered right on Alan's forehead. Provides a multiplying impaled sensation to his head. Alan's body twitched due to the pain he felt.

Alan tried to hold on with all his might to endure the pain he felt. But after the shadow entered completely into Alan's head. The pain he had felt from the outside, now moved from inside Alan's head. Stabbed out of Alan's body right on his forehead. A small shadow made it out of Alan's forehead, gathering in front of Alan's forehead and forming a dark crescent-shaped symbol on his forehead. The symbol lit up for a while, then disappeared back. It was as if the symbol never existed at all.

"Huh.huh..." Alan's breathing gasped for breath after the pain he felt disappeared. Alan still could not get up from his arms. He could only lay down his body, facing the gloomy sky of the room.

"What's? How come?" Azazel did not understand why Alan's body had not changed into a demon-like form in general. Alan's body should have at least issued a pair of horns, which indicates he is a demon race.

"Did it fail?" Azazel examined Alan's body by holding his forehead. He was a little pensive, trying to figure out what kept Alan from changing shape.

"So so... I thought you were special." Azazel smiled after examining Alan's body.

Alan who saw Azazel smiling did not heed him, his body was too tired with pain to just ask what was wrong with his body.

"It seems that your Elf blood is not ordinary Elf blood. Even Shadow Blood cannot turn you into a demon completely. But it will make you even more extraordinary." Azazel left Alan who was still lying limp in the middle of the magic circle. Alan was eager to get up and ask Azazel what Azazel knew. But his body felt unable to anymore.

"Have you finished?" Alan closed his eyes to rest his body, not caring if he was still in the middle of the magic circle. All he wanted now was to be able to recover his tired body.
