The Return of the White Skull Princess
Chapter 26 (Arc 2) Awakened
There was a crack in the sky, blackish blue smoke coming out from the crack.
The crack made by Yagdragoath as he attempted to break through the dimensional border.
As the dimensional border crumbled Yagdragoath went inside and began to invade the earth. Countless numbers of robots came out from the dimensional shards covering the entire surface of the earth.
When all life was destroyed, Yagdragoath gripped the earth with one hand and swallowed it.
After the earth is destroyed, all the stars begin to die out.
{This is what we should do}
Yagdragoath's words felt different than I remembered, it sounded more feminine like a woman's voice.
{True, there are still many dimensions that we must destroy for the stability of the nine main dimensions}
More than that why is Yagdragoath more and more like me?.
{That's because of your destiny to be..}.
Yagdragoath's great hand was directed at me, the hand that was able to grip the world, pulled me up and threw me into his mouth so dark as a boundless abyss.

“Haaah..?!”
Kirana instantly got out of bed when she had a strange dream.
“What I just saw.”
He felt all over his body covered in sweat until his nightshirt was soaked. Kirana tried to wipe away the sweat that was washing her face, but she felt that something was strange.
“Horns? Why is there a horn on my head?.” Kirana was confused when she found two horns growing on her head without her noticing.
Feeling worried if something bad happened to her body, Kirana immediately got up and looked at herself in the mirror.
“Wat d hell...” but after seeing himself in the mirror. Not only had her pair of horns changed on her body, her black hair had turned into a pistil, then Kirana also felt a change in her two eyes .
With red pupils while all parts of Sklera turn black. It felt so intimidating as if it could kill someone with just a look.
The kind of eyes that only the demon race had.
“Guh.... actually what happened, does it have anything to do with the weird dream I saw just now?.” Kirana remembered the form of Yagdragoath in a dream that was so similar to her.
“If that's true it means my body is starting to change because the core of Yagdragoath's life that I absorbed is starting to react.” Kirana began to understand what was happening to her body.
Back laying her body on the bed, Kirana looked at her own hands looking up.
“That means I just resurrected (Awakened).”
In Kirana's memory, she should have been awakened during the second grade of High School. The time was really hard for him, he was ostracized at school, had no friends, and then Kirana's place of work was closed due to various problems, while debt collectors sent by seniors at school continue to terrorize him.
Kirana who no longer had a job, did not know what to do to survive.
Thoughts of suicide came to his head. Kirana drank a poison that could make a C-level monster sick to the stomach, but it was deadly to a low-level human like her.
But the last choice he made changed his life forever. The death poison that he thought would send him to the afterlife actually made him awakened.
Passing through the pain that lasted for days Kirana found her hair gray and her magic tightness rose many times over.
“But at that time only hair turned white without any of these two big horns.” Kirana touched the horn on her head, the girl felt nothing but hard and sharp on the tip.
“Perhaps because of the core effect of life Yagdragoath... hoaaam.”.
The clock still shows at one in the morning. Kirana who will start school tomorrow morning also resumed her sleep.

Triii..
Taps!
The alarm clock is usually noisy in the morning, but this time Kirana was up early before the clock rang. The girl had even bathed and put on her uniform neatly.
“Not for today friend.” Kirana said on the alarm clock.
“Kira... have you woken up? We are going to school today.” Cecilia's voice is heard starting to approach, not long later Kirana's room door opens.
“Oh sit...” realized the strangeness that happened to Cecilia was a result of the look in her eyes, Kirana immediately closed her eyes.
“[Stona].”
With her eyes still closed, Kirana used anti-Petrify magic (roding) so that the effect of her eye gaze hitting Cecilia's body disappeared.
“Arg..”.
Cecilia's limp body almost fell down but Kirana immediately caught it.
“Cecil are you okay? Cecil!.” Kirana was so panicked, she tried to check Cecilia's pulse and heart rate to make sure her friend was still alive.
“What just?.” Cecilia was confused by what she had just seen.
When her gaze met with Kirana's gaze, suddenly Cecilia was thrown into a place so hot and full of screams like a hell, then thousands of thorns suddenly rained down on Cecilia.
“I'm really sorry, I don't know if my gaze has a unifying effect.” Kirana was very sorry for almost killing her friend. She did not know if her gaze had such an effect because when Kirana looked at herself in the mirror, the girl did not feel anything.
“What's maid? Like Medusa in the story of the Greek Gods?.” asked Cecilia who was completely free from the effects of gaze.
“Ya as it is.”
Kirana then explains that she defeated the resurrection last night. Hearing Kirana's explanation, Cecilia immediately congratulated her friend.
Resurrection is indeed a rare event for everyone, only a strong Hunter with S rank and higher was ever awakened. But the current confirmed number of those who were awakened could still be counted on the finger.
“So how can you not go to school by keeping your eyes closed right?.” Cecilia continued to notice Kirana's gray hair and the horns on her head.
“Of course, if it is like this I will attract attention.” Kirana then picked up the sunglasses she had bought while at the beach.
“I didn't feel anything when I looked at myself in the mirror, maybe I could withstand the power of the eyes with glass.” thought Kirana.
The girl then opened her eyes again half wearing glasses.
“Does this work?.” asked Kirana to Cecilia who became a guinea pig.
“Umm... i... I do not know.. suddenly I feel strange on myself.” Cecilia's face begins to blush with irregular breaths. Cecilia felt her heart flutter and skin so sensitive. Her increasingly limp feet made Cecilia fall to the floor.
“Tck, this captivating gaze effect.” Kirana realized that the glasses she was using could not withstand the power of her eyes.
“Forced I have to use one of the treasures I saved.”
Taking something from the item box, Kirana gets a red-framed glasses.

“By the dimensions occupied by the sinobi.” muttered Kirana who immediately wore the red-framed glasses.
After she put it on and directed a gaze at Cecilia who was still sitting limp on the floor, Kirana did not show any strangeness to her friend.
“Hemm... I think this works.” Kirana smiled satisfied with the effects of the SSS level item.
“Alright, let's have breakfast and leave for school.” take Kirana, but Cecilia is still sitting on the floor.
“What's up, is there something weird about your body?.” Kirana was worried.
“No, it's just that I thought I'd wet my cel4na dal4m.” reply Cecilia with a dead red face.
