After glancing at the Astral Board for a bit...

[Neverendingly Curious Librarian (Grants Great Knowledge and Wisdom)] [Price]: [10.000.000 Score Points.]

I quickly decided to go for the most dangerous sounding of the bunch... But surely, the bastard only wants Influence or whatever, right? So I bet he won't be that annoying.

Let's hope.

Ding!

[You have chosen the Astral Guardian: {Chaos-Seeking Demonic Star}!]

[You have paid 25.000.000 Score Points.]

[Remaining Score Points: 5.000.000.]

FLAAASH!

The moment I made my choice, suddenly, the Astral Board exploded, expanding into a cosmos surrounding us.

Even Andromeda was surprised, glancing around in awe.

"I-I can't believe this..."

"Woah..."

The two of us were amazed.

It was as if we were now in between the stars themselves.

And in front of us, the stars rapidly began to converge into faint sillhoutes.

They took the form of the Astral Guardians?!

FLUOSH!

The first one resembled a small person covered on robes and a big academic hat of some sort. It had two glowing blue eyes, made of stars, and it carried on its hands a lot of books.

The second figure emerged, resembling a sea of crimson stars, a nebula of red color, where a crown appeared amidst of it, and then half of the face of a handsome, yet slender-looking vampiric man, barely visible.

The third figure resembled the silhouette of a beautiful, voluptuous woman, a mother, with a face that only showed two eyes made of stars with long eyelashes, her hair was long too, and she had a pair of goat-like horns.

The fourth figure rapidly formed, first it resembled a gigantic crimson eye glancing through all of the cosmos, then it rapidly gathered together, forming a massive black star, with red tentacles coming from it.

It glared at me directly.

"So you've chosen me..."

And I heard him whispering to me with a malefic voice.

"Good..."

I couldn't speak, as I felt completely suffocated before their astral presences.

But that wasn't all.

Another being seemed to emerge, all the stars around continued swirling together, rapidly combining into a giant knight.

An armored titan whose armor was made of stars, its face... I couldn't see it, covered by a majestic, winged helmet.

It had enormous, armored hands, carrying the hilt of a sword, as it looked into the horizon, and then at me.

Four gigantic stars rotated its head, a red, a green, a blue, and a yellow one.

He was the largest silhouette between all of them!

It glanced at me with its two glowing eyes, remaining in silence.

I guess that must be the Guardian of the Cardinal Stars.

Then the one that spoke to me was the Chaos-Seeking Demonic Star.

The others... the Goat Mother, the Librarian, the Blood Sea Tyrant.

"It appears we've finally managed to contact and influence this world, which had been so closed from any outside influence..." the goat mother spoke.

"A pity I wasn't chosen! I have nothing to do here then!" the tyrant said furiously, giving me a last glance before disappearing into a swarm of red bats made of stars.

"Come on, he left already?" wondered the librarian, he had the voice of a curious child. "Hey, nice to meet you! This'll probably be the first and last we ever talk. I was very interested in your world! I think it's really interesting. It's a pity I wasn't chosen. Well, I guessed I wouldn't, I don't give much power myself, but it was worth giving it a shot."

"Silence, pitiful librarian! I was chosen, I am superior now!" laughed the Demonic Star. "Well done! Magnificently done! You didn't choose that armored bastard, but the best choice possible. I will give you the power you seek, dragon."

"Do you have to be so intimidating about it?" asked the goat mother. "Well, there might be more candidates right now, I don't think he's the only one, but he was certainly the strongest. Nice to meet you."

I couldn't speak so I only watched anyways.

"I was sure that you would choose me," said the Guardian of the Cardinal Stars. "But I suppose Fate didn't will us together as I imagined. A pity. Demonic Star don't be too self- conceited, this dragon is not to be messed with. He singlehandedly created a connection with

the Universe's Records."

"Huh?"

The Demonic Star glared at me in disbelief, before the guardian disappeared, his long, astral cape waving, making him disappear behind it.

"Heh, so you're really interesting, huh?" the Demonic Star said. "I feed on the Influence caused by Chaos, so as long as you continue fighting, it should be enough. Bring me chaos,

and I shall reward you."

I couldn't speak, dammit!

For a moment there I kind of wanted to change sides.

This Demonic Star guy is really weird, he kind of reminds me of Orochi, but perhaps even

more monstrously powerful.

"I suppose it's time..." said the goat mother, smiling at me. "Be safe."

"Yes, be safe..." the Librarian agreed. "If Fate wills it, let's talk again."

The two disappeared, and the only one that remained was the Demonic Star.

"You're mine." He said.

He rushed towards me, his gigantic, crimson eye staring down at me.

He descended, rapidly clashing against us.

BOOOM!

And an explosion of cosmic flames engulfed me whole.

"Ah!"

Before I opened my eyes, realizing I was fine.

"Was it all in our mind?" I wondered.

"I believe so..." Andromeda was at my side, just as shocked. "It seems you've chosen... Quite

the Astral Guardian for your Subclass, Drake. I hope you don't regret this later... They cannot

be changed."

"D-Dammit... Sure, I mean, I won't..." I muttered. "Definitely won't!"

Ding!

[The Astral Guardian {Chaos-Seeking Demonic Star} glares at you.]

[He says that your Subclass is ready.]
