Reisen ascended to a Tier Two Transcendent within just one year after this.
Nightfall deepens.
After a hearty meal, Reisen felt a touch of drowsiness. He stripped off his clothes to climb into bed. His exposed rotund belly was coated with oil, a deep skin oil blended with sweat and bodily fluids to form a protective layer on the surface. A hint of decay and fetid mixed with fragrant perfume, which Reisen seemed completely oblivious to; he slipped under the covers, soon accompanied by loud snores.
A rustling sound arose.
At the window on the second floor, a creature with rows of vicious teeth crawled onto the rooftop. Its nose twitched, seemingly sniffing for something, eyes murky with dark yellow, filled with bloodthirst and hunger. Within just an hour, black fur sprouted over its body.
Minutes later, a ghastly ghoul climbed through the window; Reisen on the bed seemed utterly unaware, continuing his deep slumber, only his snoring pace paused briefly.
