My Supernatural Academia (OC X Vtuber Story)

Chapter 36 - The End of the Mid-Year Exams

Lukas woke up within the exact void he met his darkness, though it was eerily quiet this time around as he looked around. Yet he then saw it again, the darkness that looked like him, but this time it was more clearer than before. Its features were definitely more akin to him as there are some differences that were forming. The eyes were that of a blank white, no pupils or irises from what Lukas could make out. The hair was taking on the similar black hair, though having slight hues of purple. The attire was strange to him, though he couldn't really make out what it was.

Lukas: "You look.... different..."

???: "Because I am different, but not at the same time."

Lukas was suddenly surprised by this sudden development.

Lukas: "You... you can talk!?"

???: "When you utilized my power within you, I was able to learn. I understood you, but I could never convey."

The figure's voice was echoing through the void as it seemed rather strange. He could tell that the voice was a mixture of his and something else, a voice he couldn't recognize at all, being deeper.

Lukas: "Then... what are you..?"

???: "Mortals of the outside refer to me as your inner darkness, born off of your negative aspects. In truth, I came to be because of your past, your emotions. Your hatred. However, that is partially true."

Lukas: "W-What..? What are you saying...?"

???: "I was brought to you because of a higher being. One that has a similar feeling to you. My master and creator."

Lukas: "Your master and.... creator..?"

???: "He calls himself Void. The being that transcends Mortal understanding. An endless abyss is his power. All creations and I are connected telepathically as we are the same, but not at the same time."

Lukas was not fully getting the idea as he was trying to process this. His inner darkness is something else that ended up apart of him because it was drawn to him? The purpose he wouldn't know per say but things aren't exactly adding up just yet.

Lukas: "Then... What about the visions...? Why am I constantly reliving nightmares and even seeing a vision of someone else..?"

???: "That is due to my connection towards the other creations. We are able to detect each other as we can tell who is who as each of us are unique due to our chosen. You are different to others. You contain large reserves that allows me to feast to stay alive. My brethren require reserves to occupy the chosen."

Lukas: "So... Your leaching off of me!?"

???: "Leaching and feasting to us are no different. I am forever a part of you until our master deems so."

Lukas then sighed, trying to process this again, but he realizes something that he didn't quite get.

Lukas: "Do you have a name..?"

???: "Names are fruitless for us. As we are deemed to be just mere created pawns for our master."

Lukas: "W-Well... I can't just continuously referring you as my inner darkness when we talk... Since I already got Veladora living as a part of me as well at the moment..."

???: "Very well. You shall name me as I will be your servant. However I shall take over when you can't do more as it is to protect me from disappearing out of existence."

Lukas could tell that means death, though he had to come up with one on the spot. He has studied a bit of different languages, especially since he joined an Academy that might have Supernatural from different areas of the entire world, so he had to come up with something. Then it finally hit him on what to name his inner darkness.
