During my last hibernation process, when I was cleansing my body of demonic energy poisoning, I was fully unconscious until the process was complete. This time, it's a little different. While my fully alert and conscious decision-making mind is asleep, my passive perception abilities and the absurd rise in power keep the back of my mind semi-aware of my surroundings. The dark red plunderer aura grows in size, filling the entire boss room and seeping into the very fabric of the labyrinth itself. Trillions of MP flow through my body every few seconds, drained from the entire 52-floor structure, and channeled directly into the activation of my mythic-grade hibernation skill. Every few minutes, I feel the odd sensation of an entire labyrinth floor collapsing beneath me, its essence disappearing from reality, much like those dungeons out in the desert vanishing into thin air when I was farming them months ago. There's an initial click that vibrates in my mind, like a breaking point, then a woosh as all the stored-up mana is greedily absorbed by my passive plundering. While the quadrillions of MP flow through me, I'm not actively using this mana. Only a small percentage is being applied to my mana control. However, even that small percentage is enormous and will more than double the amount of mana control I gained during my entire battle with the true cores out in the desert's dead zone. These calculations are an afterthought, as my mind is running on autopilot while the clicks and whooshes of floors being collapsed and absorbed race through my mind one after another. I'm inside a small box, and I deduce that this is where the Vice City Labyrinth used to be... I vaguely remember entering this room once. There was a large green spinning portal, locked away behind multiple armed guards and high-security doors. Now, all that's left is a large black slab of rock that gives off no aura at all. It was where the demon lay motionless when I reached the top of this labyrinth in a severely injured, brain-fogged state. I instantly accept the two mythic-grade skill upgrades and the extra mana control, then open a small spatial magic portal to let the Arch Demon core and mysterious slab of rock into my storage. At the same time, I look down at my body in awe. I have no idea how much time has passed or the true extent of the destruction my mindless plundering stunt caused in the Vice Region, but my body is completely healed. My True Core is cycling energy perfectly, and not a single thread is out of place in my body. I feel as good as new... If not, better. The hundreds of quadrillions of MP that used me as a vessel to power my hibernation skill may not have all directly added to my mana control, but it feels like my ability to absorb and control immense amounts of energy has risen exponentially. I've never handled that much energy at once before, but now that my body and mind have experienced it, it feels far more natural. Even at a fraction of that scale, utilizing this power in offensive or defensive maneuvers during battle could elevate me to a whole new level. I feel incredible. Like I've slept for months, and my muscles and bones have healed and become stronger. I've only slept a few hours a month for the last few months, training to become strong enough to defeat the Lich King, then preparing for the B-Class exams, and even during the exams themselves, staying on guard and leveling up inside the Divine Construct. I had small respites, but never a full reset. My mind feels completely clear, and my body is as light as a feather. I instantly take advantage of my two new mythic-grade skills, activating stealth and walking right out of the deactivated mana-shielded labyrinth room. The streets and association workers are in chaos as I activate a telepathic link with all of my doubles simultaneously. "I'm going to need a large amount of mana crystals farmed and a team from the Crimson Army to help restore the Vice Region. I've left quite the mess here..." No further explanation is needed, as with my new mythic-grade body double perk, all memories are instantly shared between my main body and my other three. There's no longer any time lag or mysteries between us. It's like my consciousness is split into four parts, and I can choose which ones to focus on or put on the backburner. My double, currently in the Apex Region with Rodrigo and Bri, replies. "On it, we were just finishing up here. I'll notify the army right now. Plus, it's been almost two hours since you left. I'll be happy to notify our teammates of your successful healing process." I then activate the second new perk of my mythic-grade body double upgrade—the ability to use teleportation magic to instantly swap places with any of my three linked doubles. In an instant, a flash of white light in the Apex and Vice Regions simultaneously blinks, and I find myself in one of the isolated A-Class-only resting suites at the Apex Region's Association Headquarters. Bri and Rodrigo stare at me with confused looks as my mana control vanishes from the room. I grin and look down at the stacks of papers and plans we've come up with in the last few hours, letting the memories of my double rush in so we can continue our meeting. Meanwhile, far off to the west, thousands of kilometers away, Raven flies high in the air. She's carrying an important package that was picked up from the lobby of the Apex Region's headquarters amidst all the chaos. While my double, Bri, Rodrigo, and all the higher-grade hunters were off subjugating the breaks all throughout the region, the beautiful white statue of a dragon in the main hall was stolen by a woman using a divine stealth ability. It rests safely in her item box as she flies through the skies at speeds far exceeding anything someone without a true core could hope to reach. Every ten minutes or so, she drinks one of the bright green potions gifted to her as the divine energy-imbued wounds begin burning into her body and soul. The mythic-grade potions are enough to temporarily stave off the pain, but even she knows they won't be enough to heal her completely. The thought at the back of her mind is that the 200 yellow fragments from delivering this package should be enough to treat her wounds. However, after the first cough of blood spreads through the air following her final potion, doubt creeps in. She approaches a large white mansion deep inside a jungle, with no other villages or civilization for hundreds of kilometers in any direction. The mansion has hundreds of windows and a long, white central walkway cutting through a cleared out portion of the jungle, leading to the entrance of the mysterious mansion. As Raven descends into the jungle, she deactivates her stealth ability and begins slowly walking down the white pathway. Along the path, numerous art pieces line the way.
