***Announcement: Sorry for the slight delay, I was at my grandma's house, and she doesn't have the best internet there. Sorry again, and hope you are having a great day. ***

'The worst day of my life'. Everyone thought this at least once. But for everyone it means something else. For me it means being expected to do something even if I don't want to, for the rest of my life, or becoming a social outcast. Another example of the worst possible thing that could happen, is my parents getting more popular because they 'made this certain person, who is now this super special person'. This is what just happened. 

It's already bad enough for me, because of their expectations, even if I found a way to ensure their 'oh so noble title' won't be connected with me, by becoming a more mediocre role in society. 

However, this is the opposite from mediocre. Demiurge and I just ascended, becoming more important, than my father, who has the title of Marquis. This means he has more power than other nobles his rank, since his land is connected to the border, and he can add to his domain the land taken over by our nation. 

And because of that, I think you can imagine what kind of expectations were placed upon me. Plus he expected me to become a wizard, since 'women can't fight'.

Suddenly I heard Demiurge. They sounded worried. "A-are you ok? Excuse me? Please wake up? I don't know what else I should do... Maybe slap her?" 

"Please no slapping, Demiurge. Did something happen?" They were definitely worried about something. 

"I should be the one asking that! You suddenly stopped responding, and started looking rather distraught. Are you okay?" 

Ah so she was... They were worried about me? "Right, thank you for reminding me. I have something to tell you. We have indeed ascended." 

"Is there any proof? Maybe I should try seeing my status?" This was the moment, when she started to look surprised. Most likely because the word status opened it by itself, without her thinking about opening it. 

"O-oh, well, let's see... I am no longer human, how nice, instead I am now a vampire. Class is... Blood Warrior? Why so much edge?? Oh well... Level is one, stats are 50 at worst? What the?..." 

And they started rambling to themselves. I should also look at my it... "Status!" And here it is, the bane of my peace. Lets have a quick look.

"This is quite unexpected. Seventy three attack, and sixty eight magical attack? And these classes... In theory, I could later on become a magical fighter... Maybe I could interact with something in my status?" 

And so I started experimenting with my status, touching certain points, voicing out commands, until I decided that maybe concentration itself was the key.

I looked at the now expanded status.

The stats are pretty self explanatory. The classes are similar to that. Its the race and species that are surprising me. A humonculus, that was shaped by some celestial being? I have not heard about anything like this... 

"Also, Demiurge, can you tell me some things from your status page?" I turned to them, expecting to see them wondering about something. 

But what I saw was not what I expected. Definitely not. Their right hands fingers were partially covered in a blood red liquid, forming claw-like objects. 

"What the hell did you do?"
