'the extra hundred shadow fragments must be from the reward from completing the quest' Sunny thought, next his attention shifted to his new attribute

Attribute: [Fate breaker]

Attribute discription:[ Strings of fate are tightly wrapped around you, both good and bad events are attracted to you but rarely both, but you have the ability to break free from the web of fate and redefine your own fate through your actions]

After reading the discription of the attribute several questions appeared in Sunny's head

'd-does this means I can change fate without getting my fate stolen' Sunny was overjoyed at the idea but before he could celebrate the spell spoke

[All Power has a price]

[You have received a flaw]

[Your flaw is: Clear conscience]

Flaw discription: [You cannot lie]

Sunny released a sigh of relief at this, the first time he received his flaw he absolutely hated but if not for his flaw he would have never learned to trust people, in the end it was his flaw that enabled him to make friends

[Wake up, Lost From Light]

________

Sunny woke up and saw the very familiar armoured ceiling of the bunker, he felt he was strong than before, but it was still nothing compared to when he was a supreme

He then turned his head to the side and saw Jet sitting beside him with a tired looking on his, seeing her after a long time stirred several emotions within him

He came back to his senses when he heard her voice,

"What are you looking at boy" she said

After few second sunny replied

"You"

She then smiled and said "aren't you an intersection one, 'Mr. Flower Boy', well anyway wellcome back to the world of living Sleeper Sunless, we can discuss your options afterwards but first you should take a bath you reak of nightmare"

Sunny was baffled when he heard her calling him flower boy but he quickly regained his composure

'Sleeper Sunless...huh' sunny felt strange being called that after such a long time

After the same conversation with Jet, he went to take a bath. Sunny came out of bathroom wearing the police issued tracksuit and stood in front of the mirror and then sunny realised what Jet ment my flower boy

After becoming a sleeper his facial features have become even more refined which were already improved by the influence of the system. His looks were only a step below compared to when he was a saint

He has black hairs which were around shoulder length, which he had tied behind his head, his eyes were two pools of darkness which were in contrast with his pale white skin

The only thing sunny was missing was the 'Jade shell',

sunny pushed his thoughts aside and Opened the system

'it looks like the level cap is lifted up to level twenty after I became a sleeper and I leveled up two times after killing the mountain king and Auro'

Sunny then used the all the status points he had to increase his stats

Sunny felt much stronger than his stats were showing so he started to experiment, after a few minutes of experimenting he learnt that the stats shown in the system works as base while his soul cores rank and soul cores saturation works as a multiplier

After having his talk with Jet and hearing her advice, Sunny was now standing in front of the academy gate, sunny looked to his side and saw another sleeper standing beside him

Neph'

Several emotions surged within him, all the memories came back flooding, the memories of their first meeting on forgotten shore, the battle of crimson spire, how she got left behind. Sunny wanted nothing more than to just hug her right there and then but that would create many problems

Why are you staring at me?" She said in authoritative voice, as if realising he was staring for too long, snapped out of his monologue and replied

"Oh, nothing just thinking of introducing myself, my name is Sunless, you can call me Sunny " he replied in lighthearted tone

"Nephis" she replied with a wary undertone in her voice and turned her head away from his direction

'Damnation, now she totally thinks, I am here to kill her, you fool' in the mean time the academy gate completely descended ane we started to make our way to the academy

--

After the introduction ceremony ended, sunny was roaming in the hall filled with sleeper, some were from legacy clans but most of them were from normal families

Sunny did not interacted with many people, many tried to strike up a conversation with him, most of which were girls but curt and short responses from sunny made them backoff in their attempts

'Oh god why am I so handsome' sunny chuckled internally

currently sunny was searching for a particular blind seer in the hall and then he saw Cassie sitting in a secluded corner of the hall. Sunny quickly made his way to her and sat on the seat beside her

As If sensing him, she turned her head to him and asked "why are your sitting here"

After hearing his answer she had a strange look on her face and turned her head away

After sometime she asked " are you not uncomfortable by my blindness?"

"What is there to be uncomfortable, everyone has their flaw, your flaw is very severe but it also means that you have a powerful Aspect"

After hearing his answer Cassie had a sad look on her face "everyone thinks that I am a dead weight and avoids me like a plague"

"Well that's their fault, why someone has to be isolated just because of their flaw, that is just foolish"

"Oh, and my name is Sunless you can call me Sunny"

And as if realising she hadn't introduced herself she said " My name is Cassia"

"Well then, I hope we can be friends Cassia"

Sunny said in a cheerful tone

With a unreadalbe look on her face, Cassie asked " Why do you want to be friends with someone like me?" She said in self depreciating manner

Sunny opened his mouth to reply, but before he could say something, Awakened Rock came and started to give his speech

After the speach was finished, all the sleepers went to their assigned dorm rooms

Sunny was currently sitting on his bed in his room thinking about his next course of actions
