In the depths of my unconscious mind, I found myself immersed in darkness. The only things I could "see" in any meaningful sense of the term were the notifications filling the majority of my mind's eye.
[Alert: Having attained the power that comes with becoming the Anax of Anal has caused your overall power to skyrocket. There is only one Anax in all of existence, in much the same way that the spirit queens of sex are also unique beings. Until this point in time you have not been any kind of singularly unique being, but now that you are... Well the rules are a bit different.]
[Among other things you now possess distinctly unique powers. The less flashy powers you possess that are tied to your existence as the Anax of Anal are the simple increases to your ability to induce pleasure. You can induce anal orgasms in people at will, or limit the pleasure you bestow to something less intense in a form of edging, but these are far from the only things you can do. Some of the passive abilities you've acquired include an ability to induce a fascination with anal sex in those around you, as well as induce pleasure in someone's rear.]
[The flashier powers you possess related to anal sex are the abilities to impregnate anyone with a womb with anal sex, the ability to cause people to not expel waste with a touch, the ability to bestow immortality by having anal sex with someone, the ability to incite devotion and worship in those you have anal sex with, and the ability to transform those you have anal sex with into monsters or eldritch beings. The reason you can transform those you have anal sex with into eldritch beings is due to your innate and newly reawoken nature as an eldritch entity.]
The part of that that was the most educational to me was also the least explicit. Learning that I could transform those I had sex with into monsters or "eldritch beings" was both incredibly exciting and almost hilariously vague. That said, a split second after I read that the textboxes began to change again.
[Eldritch beings defy conventional classification. Each eldritch being is a unique creature that begins to exist as a result of a direct act of some eldritch god, or in the rare cases that an eldritch being gets pregnant. Eldritch beings are the direct agents and worshipers of eldritch gods and other, greater eldritch entities such as abominations and nightmares. They tend to be on the weaker end as far as direct power goes, especially compared to other eldritch entities, but one of the most common powers they can possess is shapeshifting, allowing them to disguise themselves as their 'mortal' selves and thus giving them a chance to subtly influence society in ways their masters' desire.]
[Many eldritch deities have difficulty physically manifesting in this dimension, as their impossible geometries and alien biologies struggle to become real even when called upon by mortal cultists. Eldritch beings are quite useful as they are capable of enacting the wills of their creators. Your particular methods of creating eldritch beings are a bit unusual, and will forever be tied to your nature as a being of lust and pleasure. Other eldritch gods and eldritch abominations have different methods of creating servitor eldritch beings, such as Cthulhu who can create eldritch beings by drowning dreamers, or The Black Goat whose beings are created by having mortals drink her milk.]
As I read those two textboxes I was surprised to feel myself have emotional reactions upon reading the names "Cthulhu" and "The Black Goat". Reading the name "Cthulhu" made me feel a quick spark of anger, and reading about "The Black Goat" made me feel a twinge of intense sadness as if I was reading about someone I had an intense bond with who had passed away a long time ago and was suddenly reminded of memories that we shared.
I was smart enough to intuit that these names belonged to beings I had once known in my past life, perhaps the Black Goat was a creature I had had a romantic relationship with, and that perhaps Cthulhu was an enemy? I knew that when I awoke I'd have to use my divination magic to discover whatever I could about these strange beings, who seemed to be either other eldritch gods or eldritch abominations like Mhabia and her mistress.
[You are a bit different from other eldritch entities on a level similar to yours because you innately possess a 'lesser' form; your current form. Your 'lesser' form isn't actually necessarily lesser in might than your eldritch 'true' form would be, but rather is able to grant you a much easier means to directly influence reality than most other outer gods, as well as lesser eldritch deities, possess. Your 'true' form's main purpose is... Well it's really up to you.]
[Your 'true' form is at least the medium through which you will be able to channel your eldritch abilities, which you will begin to understand soon. As an eldritch deity you innately have power over the domains of madness and sanity, chaos, and of course, the eldritch domain.]
As I read those messages my mind filled with the knowledge of how I could utilize those powers. I felt my mind fill with an awareness of the powers that came with being an eldritch deity, especially one who stood at the apex of power for such beings. The powers that came with those domains mixed well with some of my newer powers such as powers over minds and pride, and I was aware that I had potent means to neutralize even entire civilizations if I felt it necessary.
I allowed myself an unknown amount of time to contemplate that. I certainly found it interesting and now with my newfound mastery over the sin of pride, due to the mastery I had over the sin of pride in my past life, I felt my sense of satisfaction with myself increasing to a considerable level.
Each of the sins I could influence, in turn, had an influence on me. I had mastered the sins of pride and lust and thus felt their impacts quite keenly, but since I hadn't fully mastered wrath I wasn't prone to outbursts of rage, though I did feel frequent lustful urges that I was able to bury deep down without much difficulty since I had a few bodies that were always indulging in endless sex. I wasn't quite sure what the practical impact of my newfound mastery of pride would have on me, since I was already somewhat prideful, though I doubted it'd be fun for me to find ways to balance that out.
My pride manifested in a number of ways. The most obvious was that I had named myself an emperor and had begun to build an empire, that was an act of pride and I'd be foolish to deny that. I also had other urges which mixed the quiet pride I had had with other things such as lust. My desire to have endless children was mostly lust, but I knew myself well enough to know that there was a not small amount of pride mixed in there as well, which was partially responsible for those desires.
One day I hoped to be able to create more pantheons, made up entirely of my own children, wives, and myself. That was a desire born of a mixture of lust and pride, and to deny that would be as foolish as denying that my desire to be an emperor wasn't born of pride. Pride was a real sin that I regularly committed, and denying that would be denying a real, natural part of myself. I wasn't about to harm myself in that way.
My powers over pride were immense and they combined quite well with many of my other powers. With them, I could passively radiate an aura of supremacy that induced a desire to submit to me in any and all other beings, though the impact it had depended on how powerful the other beings were as well as their willpower. I could also more easily break minds and even empower those who worshiped me or submitted to me, thanks to my powers over minds, over power itself, and other fun abilities. The mixing of my abilities gave me incredible creative freedom, so long as I was willing to sit down and think about how best to mix my abilities.
I turned my attention back to the textboxes filling my unconscious mind's eye, ready to get through these updates and reawaken.
[At the moment your body is adapting to the litany of new abilities you are acquiring. You are 'unconscious' so that your body can actually grow internally and react to the worship you are receiving. Your newfound eldritch power is attracting worshipers, but so is your new title as the Anax of Anal. You are gaining a tremendous boost to the number of worshipers you have, as people from throughout the omniverse are eager to worship a god of sex, particularly a god of anal sex.]
[Some of the new worshipers you are gaining are even deities who seek to worship a divinity deserving of such worship, particularly due to your influence over the 'divinity' domain. The 'divinity' domain is one that... Well, it's too complicated to discuss in detail at this particular moment, but it is the domain that governs godhood. It is an immensely powerful domain.]
[For right now what you ought to focus on when you awaken is beginning to establish new religions. As a god of gods, you are now able to elevate someone to godhood, which you have already done, but you also gain the ability to exert tremendous influence over gods, both those you overpower and those who submit to you. As a god of gods, archdemon of pride, and as an outer god, your powers are especially effective on even malevolent deities provided you defeat them first. That is something you ought to keep in mind moving forward.]
[Tracking down and defeating malevolent deities, and then taming them through your powers, is now a viable and meaningful way for you to gain power. You have officially hit that level of might, which is an astounding feat. If you can locate and defeat malevolent deities then you can add them to your pantheons, and of course, your harem. This is especially true if you seek out malevolent deities who possess influence over domains you can't yet influence, such as death or time.]
As I read through those notifications I chuckled and realized that the system was seeming to enjoy this. It brought a smile to my unconscious face to realize this, as I knew that my iteration of the system was in my corner.
[The time is nearing for you to awaken. When you do you will have full control over your new powers. It is up to you to recover the memories of your past life, but there are ways for you to do that as well, provided you are willing to work for it.]
[The omniverse is aware of you now. There is no more hiding. But if you see this as an opportunity and not a threat... Well, then maybe you will be the first to conquer the omniverse. Or get closer to that goal than anyone before you. Do not be afraid, believe in yourself and in those who believe in you.]
[Now awaken oh mighty and absolute Anax. Awaken and show the omniverse who you really are. Take pride in the person, in the creature that you are and continue to change the omniverse, to unify and improve it. Open your eyes.]
When I finished reading the third textbox, I opened my eyes. And then I began to smile.
