Well, it's hard to decide if this is good or not.

You haven't walked to far into the desolate wastes that are your home's surroundings when a new message appears before your eyes.

Leaving Raid Dungeon
As the boss of this dungeon, you will be **** back in the event of a Raid.

You stare at the message, before tilting your head in thought. This... made sense, you suppose. It was helpful, as it meant you could leave your base without fear of it being raided in your absence, but it also was helpful to the adventurers.

This means that you could not run from them anymore. If they came to raid your base, you were going to be there, whether you liked it or not. This only solidifies your resolve to become stronger, as there is no alternative if you wish to survive.

With your newfound determination to level up, you press forward into the great dunes once again. This rush of willpower to continue lasts for quite a while, until you have no idea how long you have been walking through a seemingly empty desert.

After walking for what you can only assume was years, you decide to take a break. Exaggerating about what had most certainly been an hour or two at most is getting you nowhere, and while you aren't getting tired, you still could use some mental rest.

You sit down, and try to get your bearings somewhat. You know which way is east of course, for some reason you just do. That aside, you don't know precisely where in the east the goblins are. They could be directly east of the cave, or just in the vague eastward direction.

As you stop yourself from laying back in fear of getting sand in your spine, a sudden feeling overtakes you. As it does, a notification appears.

The Hidden Trait: CURSE OF THE TWINSOUL Is Activating

That was... ominous. And annoyingly vague. And... why is that ability name in all-

Your thoughts came to a sudden halt as a pain you cannot begin to describe surges through you. Half of you feels like it is freezing at a temperature colder than can possibly exist, while the other half feels as if it is within the core of the depths of hell, burning hotter than any flame could hope to without destroying this world.

You fall forward to your knees, unable to stand against the pain. As you catch yourself with your hands to prevent falling forward into the sand, you see something that horrifies you. Your left hand is a shade of pure white, near glowing as it radiates an cold that is not gracious enough to numb. Your right, is a black that looks as if the heat it throws around has burned off even the concept of color from it.

As you stare in terror at what is happening to your arms, doing the skeleton equivalent of grimacing and gasping in pain, a new notification appears.

Your body is attempting to contain more power than it can possess. Power that cannot be handled will be temporarily sealed.
Warning: Your body cannot naturally sustain multiple souls, find a solution to this problem as soon as possible.

You glare at the message, what kind of a asshole wrote this? You do not at all recall absorbing someone else's soul, so you definitely hadn't done this to yourself. Who the hell decided to give you this? It must be from the update, so one of the current gods did this.

You curse the gods as the pain begins to fade. You calm yourself down as you watch the great colors slowly fade out from your bones, returning to their natural hue. You barely resist collapsing to the ground, as the pain refuses to fade entirely.

With that horrible experience, you decide that clearly the bastard gods have decided you do not get to rest. You slowly **** yourself back to your feet, before taking a very careful step forward. After near stumbling over for a solid five minutes, you finally begin walking as (mostly) normal again.

You walk for awhile longer before an idea strikes you. This curse thing wasn't on your character sheet before, but since it had been revealed, you should be able to see it now, right? Your idea was put to the test as you opened your character sheet and saw three new features.

Feats
...
CURSE OF THE TWINSOUL-???
Bearer of the Blackflame- Can summon black flames using occult. The power and scale of the flames are affected by the occult skill and energy spent.
Wielder of the Whitefrost- Can summon white ice using occult. The potency and durability of the ice is affected by the occult skill and energy spent.

Well, that was something. The entry on "Curse of the Twinsoul" (You still didn't understand why that was in all caps) was absolutely unhelpful. It didn't say anything! You had never once in your entire existence in this realm heard of or became aware of a Feat/Trait with no description.

You gave an internal sigh and shook your head. Just another of the wonderous things that made you you, huh? With that out of the way, there were the two new abilities that seemed actually useful. You were hesitant to use them after the pain it seemed to cause just to unlock them, but they were at least a way of finally using your rather decent occult skill.

With that out of the way, you resume your wanderings once more. You manage to find a particularly tall dune that you move to the top of, gaining a view for a rather nice distance around. While it is most certainly a painstaking process to get to the top of, you are very happy that you did.

In the distance, at last, you can see the smoke from a campfire. That has to be the goblins, either that or you had missed them completely. Or Sahara had lied to you, but you would rather not put any realism in an idea that involved your first potential ally already betraying you.

You move towards the smoke, nearly tripping as you move quickly down the dune. You manage to recover and preform an ungraceful slide of sorts upon your heels, flailing your arms to maintain balance. You were very happy to be alone right now.

Now safely on the (more) stable ground, you move as fast as is reasonable to not trip in the sands. This speed was unfortunately slower than most creatures, as your bones had little surface area to prevent you from starting to sink into the ground most times your foot landed.

You manage to crest another dune closer and then stop yourself. Running at them probably won't end well. Even if you are going to just kill them all, you could at least take a stealthier approach, to prevent as much damage to yourself as possible.

With this in mind, you begin to creep carefully towards the encampment, preparing yourself for the potential conflict ahead. Depending on their level, goblins could be quite bothersome foes. You realize that until the curse activated, you had no form of attack more than just your claws.

You curse yourself for your haste in this decision, and slowly creep towards the last dune between you and the rising smoke.
