《Ender's Adventure!》


 Chapter 1: Enders Awakening.

    <hr>


    **Ender''s Awakening**


    *Yawns*


    A young boy awakens after being washed up on the shores of an unknown landmass. Island or continental mass he is not sure, quite frankly the boy does not care. Sitting up he rubs his eyes as he glances around the area.


    "Where am I?"


    Unable to get his bearings he stood up with unsteady steps and nearly fell back into the sand again. Regaining his balance, the boy stands still for a minute to regain his clarity and rid himself of his lightheadedness.


    Looking down both directions the beach leads, the ocean to his front, and finally the sea of tropical trees behind him. The boy is unsure of what he should be doing or where to go. Before he can advance anywhere...


    *rumble*


    His stomach begins to rumble. He looks down and rubs tummy with his left hand.


    "Hungry..."


    The boy is hungry and it is unknown how long he had been drifting before he had washed up on this beach. In fear of starvation the boy immediately went to scrounge up some food to sate his hunger.


    Luckily he did not have to search for long and found some bananas in a tree nearby, but is at a loss on how to get them. Climb the tree? Tempting, but he had never climbed a tree before... He thinks.


    In frustration he kicks the tree with a sigh and...


    *Thump!*


    The bananas fall from the tree and land on the ground at the base of the tree. He jumps for joy before grabbing the bananas.


    "Yay!"


    The boy starts peeling and eating the bananas with gusto. In a short 5 minutes all of the bananas have been consumed. He leans back against the tree and sighs in satisfaction. Although it''s not the most nutritious meal he''s not complaining as long as he isn''t starving to death.


    "Full..."


    After relaxing around lazily for 15 minutes, he stands up and looks around. At the moment he cannot do much but wander around and investigate his surroundings. Either to find a settlement or somewhere to take shelter.


    On the beach where he awoken he notices a strange object shining in the late morning light. It''s appearance being cubic in nature.


    "What''s this?"


    Walking over, he knees down and takes the item into his hand and examines it. It looks like a strange brownish box with a number of colorful squares glowing in different colors.


    [Command Block has detected owner, Ender. Initializing merging process...]


    "Huh?"


    He shields his eyes with his right arm as the "Command Block" begins to shine with a blinding light.


    ...


    **Command Block''s Function: Creative Crafting System.**


    When Ender un-shields his eyes he finds that the so called "Command Block" has vanished from his hand and a strange tattoo appears on the back of his left hand. It looks like a purple flower like symbol.


    "Flower? Where is the command block?"


    Following a strange compelling feeling Ender rubs the tattoo with his right hand and is surprised when it flashes, causing a transparent screen to appear.


    There was a dull grey screen with a smaller black screen with a illustration of what appears to be a boy, specifically Ender himself.


    "Is that me?"


    He looks at his picture to find a boy with cute features. His hair is black, the pupils of his eyes a mesmerizing purple. His whole outfit is black. Black t-shirt, pants, shoes.


    It seemed his preferences are tied to the color black but he does not care otherwise.


    To the right of his picture are 4 squares in a 4x4 pattern with an arrow pointing at another single square. Above the 4 squares "Crafting" is written.


    Below both the picture and the crafting slots, in a 9x3 pattern are 27 empty block slots. Below them are another 9 empty block slots.


    He can see another grey window to the left of this inventory menu that is called Creative Resources. Clicking on a random image on the creative page he spotted a bucket of milk and clicks on it.


    The bucket of milk appears in the inventory hotbar. Clicking on it again the bucket of milk appears in hus hand startling him, nearly causing him to spill it. Unlike the blocky, pixelated look in the menu, it was a real and smooth round bucket.


    "Cool!" Ender tips the bucket up and starts gulping the milk down and finishes the bucket in seconds. He burps in satisfaction.


    "Tasty!"


    After enjoying the bucket full of milk he tosses the bucket aside and watches as it bursts into purple particles and fade into nothingness. Ender could not help but comment...


    "Environment friendly. Not litter..."


    He nods his head. Ender starts messing with the system and learns a few useful details about it. He can only call in component resources and must craft items, not just get them. Resources are limitless so he can craft to his heart''s content.


    Waste is never lefted behind and disolves into Ender Particles, or the special energy flowing through beings of the End, just like Ender himself.


    ...


    **Ender''s True Nature.**


    After coming to an understanding about his Creative Crafting System, or CCS for short. It had been a few hours. He had taken the time to read up on each resource to understand what they meant and potential uses. There are some basic recipes so he isn''t completely going blind. He also notices the folder labelled "Mods" has things different from the normal content.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.


    According to the parameters outside recipes can be recorded into the system for use. Learning to craft firearms is not an impossibility.


    Back on the inventory screen Ender found a sub-menu hidden within his portrait that displays some information about himself. Clicking on it he reads the info.


    =====


    Ender.


    Species: Endermen.


    Age: 5.


    Gender: Male.


    -----


    Racial Skills:


    EnderBlink - A racial ability that allows an Endermen to bend space to teleport to and from. When used purple flower petal-like particles are left in the wake that make a beautiful sight.


    EnderGaze - A racial ability that causes whoever is hostile to the Endermen''s eyes to be intimidated and have lower combat ability against them.


    EnderCloak - A racial skill that allows an Endermen to bend the space around them to conceal their presence. Until completely mastered, particles appear when the concealed Endermen is in motion.


    =====


    Apparently Ender is a being known as an Enderman who had been humanized. This meant that the original weaknesses of an Endermen no longer faze him. Such weaknesses consists of the repulsion of water and the impulsive need to violently maim anyone who gazes into their eyes.


    Whether such weaknesses are fatal to him or not, he does not know. But nonetheless he is delighted to not possess such debilitating weaknesses.


    The skills themselves are quite nice and Ender wants to learn how to use them as soon as possible. He can run away, hide or give any mean bullies a scary glare!


    Beware the Endermen!


    *Rawr!*


    ...


    **Blinking into Exhaustion.**


    After learning about his 3 abilities. Ender decides to make an effort of learning to put those skills into action. The thought of being able to bend space to his will and teleport around freely is exciting to him. If one were to closely look into Ender''s eyes they would see the. Sparkling excitedly. Even if his blank, supposedly emotionless face betrays otherwise.


    It''s not that Ender lacks emotions. He just does not comprehend or know how to express them. He was just born after all.


    Looking directly at a nearby tree, Ender narrows his eyes and focuses on the tree while ignoring everything else...


    *Zip!*


    *Thud!*


    "Ow..."


    Ender vanishes leaving behind the familiar purple particles and reappears, slamming face first into the tree and falling to the ground, holding his face in pain.


    He had successfully blinked to his target but the landing left alot to be desired. But it was a successful blink. Now after the first blink he feels that the next ones will become more refined and instinctive.


    It is a natural racial ability after all.


    He blinks around his cozy beach area for fun, never seeming to get tired of it.


    *Zip!*


    He blinks down the beach 30m.


    *Zip!*


    He blinks up onto a high branch of a tree.


    *Zip!*


    He blinks to a pretty little seashell and pockets it.


    *Zip!*


    Ender blinks in front of a forest monkey and startles it enough to fall from the tree.


    "Teehehehe!"


    Ender laughs, yet with his constantly blank face void of emotions it looks and sounds quite strange. The monkey shakes it''s fist furiously at Ender before fleeing into the forest.


    "Bye-bye money!" Ender waves the scampering monkey off.


    *Zip!*


    *Zip!*


    *Zip!*


    *...*


    Needless to say, Ender had all but mastered his [EnderBlink] ability in a short few hours, just in time for lunch at noon. All of the blinking around has gotten him a little hungry do he is in need of a meal.


    ...


    **Ender Discover''s Crafting from the Almighty Voice in his Head!**


    "Hungry again..."


    Ender runs his tummy as it starts to rumble again. Looking around he finds a few more banana trees and trees with coconuts on them, but he had a craving for something else.


    *Zip!*


    Ender blinks into the shade of a tree at the edge of the beach in a sitting posture and opens up his Crafting Interface. While looking at the Creative pages he had noticed a few raw meats that look to be delectable if cooked.


    He clicks on the image of [Raw Chicken] and one appears in the first hotkey slot. Willing the raw chicken into his hand it immediately appears out of thin air and he quickly snatches it up so it doesn''t fall.


    "Hm... How do I cook it? Is it tasty raw?"


    Ender isn''t sure what to do. Sure he can eat it raw, but his instincts tell him it isn''t a very good idea to do.


    {I would recommend you craft a Crafting Table and then craft a Furnace.}


    Ender nods and says, "Okay," before following the advice of the strange robotic voice in his head.


    {... Are you not surprised to hear me speaking or at least a bit curious about whom I am?}


    "No..."


    {Oh... Well, sorry for, you know, not being interesting and all that...}


    The strange voice in Ender''s head says sadly, almost sounding as if it were sulking. Ender tilts his head cutely in thought before humoring the pitiful voice.


    "Who?"


    {On no, please do not feel obligated to ask or anything... But if you must know, I am the guide of your Creative Crafting System. In fact I am comprised of the memories of the human soul that dwells within your Enderman body. The cycle of reincarnation is absolute so no one can retain their memories normally.


    However by creating a system interface such as myself, your memories of your past life were used as a basis. So to put it simply. I am your past life''s memories formed as the foundation of your crafting system''s guide. You cannot access these memories, however I can advise you in your quest to harness the CCS to it''s full potential.}


    Ender nods understandingly. Or at least the CCS guide thinks he understands. Sadly it does not have a mental link to his thoughts despite being connected.


    "...I''ll call you Steve."


    {... That is oddly ironic considering the Minecraft default is... Nevermind! I''d prefer a more feminine name please.}


    "... Stevette?"


    {...}


    The CCS sighs. If Ender could see her she would be facepalming hard at his dense and terrible naming sense.


    {You know what. I''ll give myself a name. I''ll be Ada! Don''t forget it!}


    Ender waves a hand lazily.


    "Hi Ada."


    {Sigh...}


    Ignoring the feminine voice in his head, despite not understanding the revelation that he was a female in his past life, Ender browses through the recipe lists until he finds the recipe for a crafting table.


    "To make a crafting table I need 4 planks of any kind..."


    I takes 4 planks from the creative menu and sets them up in the 4 crafting slots in the inventory screen. A picture of a crafting table appears in the results box. Clicking on the crafting table it appears in his hotbar.


    "Easy, I crafted it!"


    {Bravo! Now use the crafting table to make a furnace.}


    Ender nods and calls out the surprisingly hefty crafting table. Laying it down next to the tree. He looks up the recipe for the furnace and gathers the resources.


    "Arrange these stones like this and..."


    He arranges the materials and is happy to see the image of the furnace in the results slot. He takes out the furnace and sets it up next to the crafting table.


    *Rumble*


    "Hungry..."


    He puts the raw chicken into the furnace and waits silently.


    "... It''s not cooking?"


    {Are you serious?}


    Ender tilts his head in confusion.


    "What did I do wrong?"


    {... Sigh! If you weren''t so adorable I would... Arg! Put coal in the furnace!}


    "Kay!"


    Ender puts coal into the furnace and hums happily as he watches the chicken cook. A minute later the fire stops and [Raw Chicken] becomes [Cooked Chicken].


    "Smells yummy!" Ender says as he sniffs the cooked chicken in his hand, his mouth watering fron the fragrance. Without waiting anymore he starts tearing into the chicken with gusto and finishes the birds in seconds.


    "Tastier than the nanners." Ender says. While fruits are great and all, nothing is more filling than a scrumptious chicken dinner.


    Ender proceeds to cook and eat 3 more chickens before his hunger is satisfied. Ada is shocked at how much he could eat.


    {Did I... Or he just eat 4 full chickens!? What kind of world did I... we end up in where a child can eat more than a grown ass man?}


    She is shocked at how much he reincarnation ate for a simple lunch meal. Ada had heard of people reincarnating in certain anime worlds where the protagonists eat enough for 20 people!


    {Oh god! Please don''t let us be in Dragon Ball! The Earth gets demolished every other season!}


    Ada can feel herself feeling panicked. She is worried about where she... He... They ended up. There is no denying that where ever Ender had been born it will have it''s own share of dangers. But the scale of danger is unknown to them.


    {Okay, it might not be that bad. Ender has the potential to be OP if he can put in the effort. I will need to guide him properly.}


    Watching Ender silently play with the crafting interface. Ada silently comes to a decision.


    {Ender!}


    "Yes?" He replies, stopping what he was doing.


    {There is something I want to experiment with involving the CCS...}


    To be continued...

 Chapter 2.

    **Ada''s Theory.**


    {According to the information in the CCS, the system has everything possible pertaining the whole Minecraft series. Theoretically that includes the RPG aspects of Minecraft.}


    "RPG?" asked Ender. He is unfamiliar with the term, of course Ada had forgotten. So she explains the term to him...


    {RPG, or Role-playing Game. They are video games that centers around the growth of an individual or group of individuals throughout an overarching story or journey.


    The RPG aspects of Minecraft focuses mostly on growing your skills and making them more efficient. An example being Archery. Constantly shooting a target, or targets will raise the skill level. When leveling up your arrows will go further, penetrate easier, let loose more than one arrow, and other bonuses.


    Swordsmanship increases your combat instincts when wielding sword type weapons. There are also non-combative skills as well.}


    Ender nods in understanding and asked in eagerness, "I can learn these skills and level them up?."


    {Theoretically, you should be able to. You just need to perform certain actions over and over again. Wether you can level them up easier by using a target or live creatures, I cannot be sure. Luckily you have Spawn Eggs.}


    Putting aside the spawn eggs Ender is more interested in learning more about the skills he can learn, level, and master.


    "How do I go about learning these skills?"


    {Simple! Just use em! Try punching and kicking something.}


    Nodding his head Ender looks around before turning his focus to the tree he had been using as a shade since the beginning. Balling his hands into fists, Ender rears back his right fist and sends a punch directly into the tree with all of his strength.


    *Thud!*


    "..."


    {... Ender?}


    "... Ow." Ender nurses his bruised and throbbing right fist with his eyes watering. Ada could only look on apologetically.


    {Perhaps... We should cover your knuckles with something to dampen the impact. I believe there is a recipe for bandages. Craft some to wrap around each hand.}


    Ender obeys and crafts 2 rolls of bandages in plain white and wraps them snuggle around both knuckles. Tugging them once more to be safe, Ender returns his focus on the tree.


    He gives the tree another right hook.


    *Thud!*


    And a left hook.


    *Thud!*


    He continues to punch the tree over and over again, alternating between both the left and right fists. He throws in a kick or two in the sequence at Ada''s insistence. Occasionally Ender would use other parts of his body to strike, such as an elbow here or a knee there.


    He would continue these repetitions over and over again for a few minutes until...


    *Ding~*


    [ Hand-to-Hand: 1/100.]


    Ender hears a bell chime and looks at the quick window pop up on his left had saying that he had learned, or rather leveled up again.


    "I learned hand-to-hand~" Ender hums happily. His self-torturing practice had paid off. He was happy despite the throbbing pain he fills in his knuckles, knees, elbows, and feet.


    {Yes! I knew it would work! Now try it with...}


    Ada gave Ender a short list of commands to follow and items to craft and use. Soon enough Ender had a number of skills he had learned.


    *Ding~*


    [Sprinting: 1/100.]


    Ender had learned this skill after running up and down the beach at full speed a few times, exhausting himself a few times in the process. His running speed and stamina while sprinting increased when it leveled up.


    *Ding~*This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    [Swords: 1/100.]


    When using the wooden sword he had crafted his cuts and stabs were sharper and deeper. Instinctively he felt himself wasting less energy and adding more power to his swings.


    *Splash!* *Splash!* *Splash*


    *Ding~*


    [Swimming. 1/100.]


    Ada had Ender strip down and take a dip into the ocean, completely ignorant of the fact that her reincarnation was just born today and had in fact not learned to swim!


    Luckily, much to her relief, Ender had gotten that beautiful chime as he was floundering around dangerously in the sea and instinctively learn to keep himself afloat.


    He laid back on the beach and gave his most menacing EnderGlare at nothing in particular since Ada lacks a physical form.


    "You tried to drown me..."


    {Teehehe! Sowwy! Forgot that you might have not known how to swim!}


    "Hmph!"


    Ender had long since proved Ada''s theory about skills. By the time the sun had begun to set, he had learned a hefty number of skills and intends to learn more.


    The day ends with Ender sleeping within a small makeshift shelter after a hearty and healthy meal.


    ...


    **Ender Builds a Small Shack**


    Ender wakes up to the second day of his new life fully recharged and ready to go. His makeshift shelter had left alot to be desired but it kept him from the cool night ocean breeze. He had slept well.


    "Morning Ada..." Ender greets the almighty voice in his head.


    {Good morning to you too, Ender. It looks like you slept well.}


    He nods in affirmation.


    {Before you do anything else today. I want you to look for a nice plot of clear land. Preferably near a decent freshwater source and within walking distance of the shore.}


    "Why?"


    {So that you can build yourself a proper shelter. I''m sorry to say, but that little thing you called a shelter isn''t gonna cut it. You need more space to begin with. Additionally you should be a safe distance from the sea in the case of a tropical storm.}


    He thinks about her reasoning for a moment before nodding, "okay."


    After a short breakfast Ender cleans up and wanders into the forest to find a clearing that fits Ada''s criteria. Along the way he had discovered a number of exotic fruits and wild vegetables that had not existed within the CCS. Once he collected these samples the system would scan and save them, thus allowing him to freely use them to his heart''s content.


    Since some of these resources are unknown to the Minecraft world, he would get a chance to research them and discover new uses for them within the system. Ender and Ada may yet create for themselves new potion, cooking, or crafting recipes.


    After 30 minutes of forest exploration Ender comes across the ideal setting with a bonus.


    A cliffside clearing with a cave entrance that has a small freshwater stream 5 minutes to the south. Here he could craft himself a decent shack while also converting the cave into a workshop/storage/training ground.


    The cave leads to an huge open cavern with space that can accommodate his every need. Minus the hungry, sleeping bear. But Ender feels he can deal with it. According to Ada two whole football stadiums could be built with this much space.


    But to deal with the unwanted bear and it''s piles of mess prey remnants, a few human skeletal remains included, Ender took the easy route and blinked above the slumbering truck sized bear and plunged an iron sword he crafted straight into it''s skull.


    *Ding~*


    [Swords: 2/100.]


    {Huh, what do you know. Combat skills do level up easier against live opponents. We will be getting some use out of the Spawn Eggs soon.}


    "... Still don''t know what Spawn Eggs are."


    {Tell you later. Suck the teddy into your inventory so we can add bear meat to the ever growing repertoire of meat ingredients.}


    "Ok..." Ender obediently absorbs the dead bear into his inventory.


    *Ding~*


    [New food resource added: Bear Meat.]


    Afterwards Ender follows Ada''s instructions and digs out a very dig trench where he proceeds to disgard all the remains of the bear''s past prey. He then pulls out a steamy hot bucket of lava and watches as it dissolves the waste into molten ash.


    {Not the most dignified way of burying teddy''s past victims, but it gets the job done.}


    Nodding in agreement Ender watches as the lava eventually cools down into smoldering rock that was formerly magma. This world is not the Minecraft world. It has it''s own natural laws, that while Ender may defy a few, some still apply.


    Without a source the magma will eventually cool down. But until then it is a very powerful asset to use against enemies.


    Ender eventually tidies up the cavern into a half decent hideout. Using a CCS crafted pickaxe he was able to cut out a few sturdy side rooms for his planned workshops while keeping the main cavern as his training grounds.


    The first room to the left of the entrance is where the enchantment table will go. Second on the right will be his storage. But instead of common storage chests. He will use Ender Chest so that he can access his chest no matter where he goes.


    After studying up on the chests, Ender discovered that unlike the game, he can access more than one of his chests with the portable chest he keeps on him.


    It''s useful because he cannot carry everything with him. Even with a Shulker Box. Shulker Box is portable storage. Ender Chest is cloud storage.


    Going back outside the cave Ender follows Ada''s instructions to build hinself a cozy little shack to live in. As much as he wants to wander and explore, he understands that he is far too young and weak to travel.


    Ender''s eyes begin to glow and within his sight a holographic outline of a small structure appears up against the cave entrance. It''s make is of a stone and wood exterior with the main support being of stone and wood of everything else.


    A front door in the middle, two windows on each side. No more for his shack. The interior is that of a single large room furnished with a single soft sofa and a table on each side in front of fireplace. To the right side of the chimney is two sets of bookselfs built into the wall.


    If one were to reach their hand into the chimney they would find a hidden button that would trigger a red stone contraption, which would in turn pull both bookshelves apart and reveal the path into the cave where another button awaits to close the hidden door.


    All of this had taken Ender the whole day to complete following Ada''s holographic blueprint to the point. Ender even has his own functioning bathroom and a very comfy bed.


    "Where does all of the waste go in the toilet?" Ender asks Ada curiously.


    {I dunno. Logic fails when you have a cheating ass system like this.}


    After a healthy meal and spending some time cleaning up. Ender ends his second day of his new life.

 Chapter 3.

    **Ada Adds New Stats.**


    Ender''s 3rd day alive begun in earnest as the light of the sun had shone through his shack. Waking up he had followed Ada''s orders and performed some morning hygienics, something he was unfamiliar with. But according to Ada it is a necessary habit to develop.


    {I will not have my reincarnation be a boorish, uncouth slob! You will brush those teeth and wash every single inch of your body!}


    Ender just shrugs and follows her directions, "...ok."


    {I will also remind you that I am going to use the CCS to properly educate you in basic knowledge. Back in my past life I was a college graduate who went on to be a high school biology teacher. While I cannot teach you much about the male body, I sure as hell can tell you about females.}


    Ender tilts his eat while munching on a cookie and asked, "... Why do I need to know about a girl''s body?"


    {... Sigh! I forgot your only physically 5 years old now. The birds and the bees can wait until your much older.}


    Ender silently nods before finishing up his breakfast cookie dessert.


    Afterwards, he goes onto his early morning sprint to level up his skill for the next hour and returns for a short rest. Ada chimes in with some of her personal updates to his CCS stats.


    {While you were running I did a basic scan of your body''s conditioning and updated your statistics based on the CCS parameters. Check it out.}


    Ender brings up the inventory and clicks on his portrait to bring up his status and finds new options available.


    [Ender.


    Race: Enderman.


    Age: 5.


    Body: 5/100.


    Magic: 0/100.]


    Reading his basic status he nods before asking Ada for an explanation of what these stats entail.


    {Your body determines how strong you are in comparison to the strongest beings on this planet. While I do not know what world this is I can sense the current most powerful being alive, thus allowing me to estimate your current level.}


    "I am level 5..."


    {Correct! But the amazing part is that in this world the average untrained adult is around level 5-20. A normal 5 years old child would be no more than level 1. That is a human child. A newborn Enderman starts out at level 5 so the untrained adult tends to be 10-30.}


    "Cool..."


    {You betcha it''s cool! Enderman are the strongest non-modded mobs in Minecraft! No enchanted diamond gear and they will waste you in 1-3 hits easy! Their levels are higher than human''s by 2x.


    But of course this is only the basic body''s level. Strength, endurance, stamina, speed, flexibility, and the like. This is in no form a measurement of a person''s combat ability. Skill levels determine that.}


    "... What of the magic level?" Ender asks.


    {Magic level determines how potent your magical ability is. Considering you have no magics available currently there is no way to level it up yet.}


    He understanfingly nods, "What about my racial skills?"


    {While technically magical in nature, they do not count as magics. A Creeper''s natural ability to detonate does not count as magic either.}


    "... Whats a creeper?"


    {Anyways! We will try and figure out the magic thing later on! Worry about leveling up your skills and body level. I''ll try and see about adding on some experience levels at a later Ada.}


    "Ok, Ada. Thanks..."


    Ender rushes off into his hidden training grounds for some grinding.


    ...


    **Skill Grinding Against Mobs.**


    Knowing that his skills were not going to quickly raise just by exercising them Ada orders Ender to access the mob category of the creative page of the CCS.


    Here Ender finds numerous different colored eggs for different hostile mobs that existed in Minecraft. Vanilla or modded. She instructed him to call out a number of the disgusting rotten pale green looking eggs.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    Filling up his inventory with the eggs. Ender takes one into his hand and scrunches his his nose trying to ignore the putrid odor from the egg.


    "Smells bad... Need a bath after this..."


    {I wholeheartedly agree.}


    Rearing back Ender throws the egg hard and watches as the egg explodes in a puff of smoke. In it''s place is the most disgusting looking and smelling thing he would probably ever see.


    "It somehow spells worse now than it did as an egg..." Ender complains rightfully so. What appeared from the spawn egg was a lifeless shambling humanoid figure with festered rotten skin, some missing revealing bone and hanging organs. It''s eye pale without life. Clothing tattered and aged.


    Groaning and moaning as it shuffles around searching for fresh living flesh to devour endlessly.


    A zombie.


    {Ugh... In reality they look worse than the pixelated blocks from the game! Please for the love of Notch, kill it!}


    Gulping down some spit nervously Ender adjust his knuckle wraps and gets into a loose fighting stance.


    As if it senses Ender''s challenge, the zombie looks at the boy and lets out a louder groan before shambling at him surprisingly faster than he had expected.


    The zombie strikes out clumsily at Ender. He steps back to avoid it and counters it by punching the zombie hard in the face causing it to stumble back. Ender then rushes in for another punch to the face followed by a hard kick to the zombie''s knee tripping it to the ground.


    *Crack!*


    An audible crack can be heard as the zombie''s knee shatters. Not wanting to give it a chance to retaliate, Ender blinks above it''s head to try and punch it again.


    {Careful!}


    Upon Ada''s warning the zombie suddenly grab''s Ender''s leg and yanks him to the ground. Startled, Ender struggles and winches in pain as the zombie takes a bite out of his calf.


    "ARGH!"


    He manages to struggle loose from his foe not before it takes a chunk of flesh from his leg, leaving a nasty gaping wound in it''s place.


    *Munch!*


    *Groans*


    The undead menace chews the chunk of flesh it had ripped out of Ender and swallows it before moaning and reaching for him for another bite.


    "..."


    Glaring at the zombie. Ender stumbles back to his feet and delivers a kick that knocks the rotten hand away and curb stomps it''s head a few more times splattering putrid flesh, blood, bone, and brain matter everywhere. Soon the zombie stops moving completely.


    *Heavy breathing*


    Ender is out of breath and covered in sweat, resisting the throbbing pain from his leg where he was bitten. The zombie is head, far tougher than he expected but not too threatening. It was not that it was difficult to kill, but Ender has no experience and may have gotten a little careless.


    He comes to wonder, "Why does a 5 years old need to fight adult sized zombies?"


    {Sorry, but you need to fight something to raise your levels. Just training and leveling up is not enough. You need actual life and death experience. Plus we know that your skills increase faster. If you want to cheese it just blink the hell out if your foes.}


    "I forgot about that. If your born with it, it''s not cheating to use it..."


    {Exactly!}


    Sitting down Ender takes out some cooked chicken to eat and watches as his wound slowly heals. The flesh stitching itself back together.


    {Your probably the only person in the world who can heal just by eating.}


    Until lunch Ender would fight against the zombies he spawned from the eggs. It was not just his hand-to-hand he used. Sometimes he would use a sword, a dagger, a trident, and even a bow and arrow. His accuracy left alot to be desired but his arrows eventually took a zombie down after turning it into a pin cushion.


    Unlike Minecraft logics, headshots are required to kill a zombie! Double taps sometimes too.


    ...


    **Different Kinds of Zombies.**


    Ender spent a few days fighting zombies to increase his combat skill levels. They were increasing fast and his combat instincts were beginning to come in. At least when it comes to the mobs known as zombies.


    He knows that his combat experience wont increase with only zombies, single or more. Ada herself did not need to tell him that. He understood clearly when the growth of his swords skill stagnated at level 10.


    {Hm... It won''t go up anymore. Maybe you need to use other types of swords, or perhaps a higher tiered sword.}


    "I guess I can try a new kind of sword. This one is getting kind of dull..." He says examining his sword, noticing a few chips and a dulled edge.


    They discovered that the crafting screen can be blown up to add more squares to build much large items. So Ender crafts a much larger sword visualizing the image of a bastard sword Ada gave him. Thus resulting in his first two handed sword.


    Unfortunately... Ender''s small frame and weak body was currently not able to carry it. So he made a sword in the visualization of a sword Ada remembered from some "game" she called Fire Emblem.


    Falchion I believe she called it.


    Fortunately it bypassed his stagnated level growth and he can train anew.


    As Ender uses another spawn egg to bring forth a new zombie to fight. This one seemed different than the previous ones. It was wearing an iron helmet. Something told Ender that this zombie may be tougher than the others.


    "This zombie has a piece of armor..."


    {It does... I think I got it! The eggs will spawn zombies of varying difficulty randomly. You were lucky with the RNG so far. You might start encountering hardcore mode zombies soon, they can have full armor and carry weapons.}


    "... That sounds scary." Ender comments.


    {Oh, it is. But with the levels you get from fighting them I think it will be worth it.}


    Ender readies himself for some more difficult zombie battles in the days to come. From the spawn eggs he had fought plain zombies, partially armored zombies, and even fully armored zombies. Some zombies carried a sword, some axes, some knives, he even fought one with a diamond hoe.


    Some zombies were missing limbs, some zombies were faster than others, some took more than a few hits to the head to kill. There was even a baby zombie that ran as fast as a drug addict!


    Worst yet was a lumbering giant zombie that terrified both Ender and Ada! Needless to say, Ender cheesed the fight with blinks and cloaks. Fighting that beast was a test of patience.


    For some reason Ada played a catchy tune called, "Linked Horizon - Guren No Yumiya." When Ender fought the giant zombie. He didn''t know why.


    The second hardest fight for Ender zombie wise happened to be a zombie fully decked out in diamond armor. It also carried a two handed diamond war hammer and tried really hard to smash Ender into a meaty paste.


    Soon enough his growth from zombies stagnated and he would need a new foe to face for experience.

 Chapter 4

    **Call of Duty: Skeleton Warfare!**


    {Hostiles coming from the left!}


    Nodding his head Ender spins left, draws his bowstring, and releases an arrow that rips the head off the skeleton that tried to flank him, ending it''s unlife as it tried to catch him off guard.


    Multiple arrows begin to rain down on his position forcing him to dive behind some cover to ready his counter attack.


    "How many bogeys remain, Ada?" Ender asks, hoping to avoid sticking his head out for an unlucky headshot.


    {3 more. Two of them are sticking together while the other is attempting to flank you. It will come into range soon, get ready!}


    "Roger," Ender affirms before readying another arrow. Leaning up over his cover Ender loosens the arrow and ducks back in immediately avoiding the hail of shots from the other skeletons. His shot aims true and he scores another headshot and kills the flanking skeleton.


    {Great shot, Confirmed kill!}


    Ender returns the bow into his inventory and equips his newest weapon, a Battle Staff.


    "Lets finish the remaining tangos. Going in!"


    *Zip!*


    Ender blinks behind the final 2 skeletons and smashes the skeleton on the left in the head forcing it to stagger forward. Sweeping the second skeleton''s legs out beneath it, he smashes it''s sternum before tilting his head to the side to avoid the other''s arrow after it recovered.


    "Nice try..."


    *Zip!*


    He blinks above it and uses the gravity to enhance the power of his downward smash and watches as the skull explodes and it''s body crumbles apart.


    *Zip!*


    Ender blinks next to the last skeleton as it gets back to it''s feet and smashes the arm holding the arm causing it to fall off. The skeleton tries to punch him with it''s free hand but Ender snips to the side to avoid it and uses his momentum to strike the skeleton in the back of it''s skull knocking it off and causing it to crumble into defeat.


    {All targets neutralized! Misson Complete! Return to HQ and rest, you''ve earned it soldier!}


    "Sir!" Ender salutes blankly and exits the cave after the skeleton''s despawn into particles. Plopping down on his sofa, Ender glances at his newly upgraded skill.


    [Blunt Weapons. 36/100.]


    "It leveled up a few times." Ender said.


    {I''m not surprised. It''s been proven that your skills would improve faster in live combat.}


    Ender recalls his first time fighting a skeleton and how it nearly landed an arrow between his eyes. It terrified him how close his life ended so he blinked behind it and tore it apart with his bare hands.


    From that point forward Ender had set up a number of obstacles to use as cover to make fighting them much simpler. A few large piles of dirt here and there. A wall or two of waist height or one story building height with openings to pass through.


    After his safety precautions have been set, he started fighting skeletons in earnest. Ada even made a game out of it using military styled scenarios from something she had played called "Call of Duty." Not knowing what it was he just went with it and humored her.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    Ada wanted Ender to call her "Colonel'' but he stubbornly kept calling her Ada and felt like she was sulking.


    "The skeletons were dangerously effective..." Ender comments.


    {I know! I was surprised with how quick and accurate they were. They could plan and tried to flank you a few times. If skeletons were lime this I''d hate to see how scary the pillagers are.}


    If Ada had a body she would shudder at the thought. Skeletons were capable of such simple tactics, imagine how deadly the crossbow wielding pillagers will be.


    Other than normal Pillagers there are also Evokers who can summon the pixie like Vexes and launches magical fangs from the ground to rip their foes apart.


    Vindicators are the muscles and will rush at their foes with axes either on foot or on the back of a ravager.


    Illusioners are some of the most dangerous of the pillagers. They can cast a spell to blind their foes for 20 seconds. Cast an invisibility spell on themselves while simultaneously creating 4 duplicates. Unfortunately the duplicates are always within a very short distance from the original so locating them should not be too difficult.


    Lastly is the Ravagers. Massive bull-like creatures that attack by charging and ramming their prey, attempting to gore them with their deadly horns. It''s roar is capable of dealing damage and knocking back individuals nearby.


    All in all, pillagers are more deadly than skeletons and will fuck you up if your ungeared and unprepared.


    ...


    **Brewing and Enchantment.**


    After 6 months of constant combat skill grinding. Ender decided to take a break and experiment with other production skills. Brewing and Enchantment to be precise.


    Brewing is the process of creating potions by adding various ingredients to water bottles in a brewing stand.


    By placing one or more bottles in the lower three slots of the brewing interface, an ingredient in the upper slot, and blaze powder in the fuel slot, you can distill the ingredient into each bottle and brew potions which may be consumed to grant an effect to the individual.


    Every potion starts with a water bottle, made by filling a glass bottle at a water source or filled cauldron. Using blaze powder, the next step is to add a base ingredient to create a base potion, usually nether wart to create an awkward potion. By brewing an effect ingredient into the awkward potion in the same manner, the individual can create a potion with a working effect. A modifier ingredient (glowstone dust or redstone dust) may be added to make the effect more intense or last longer or change the effect entirely. Gunpowder can be added to a potion at any stage to convert it to a splash potion, which can be thrown to affect all individuals and mobs in a radius. Dragon''s breath can be added to a splash potion to convert it to a lingering potion, which can be used to create a cloud which grants an effect as long as it remains. Each brewing step takes 20 seconds.


    {Minecraft brewing is entirely cheating! Snape would have a hard on if he could have this shit.}


    "Who''s Snape?" Ender asked.


    {He is... You know what, just read the Harry Potter books.}


    "How can I read them?"


    {When those books were made along with the bookshelves I had recorded the contents of every single book, manga, comics, novels, and fanfiction I had ever read. There is alot!}


    "Oh," Ender says, "I thought they were just aesthetics."


    {No, this isn''t like the game. In reality the bookshelves need actual books. A word of advice: Ignore the Lusty Argonian Maid...}


    "Why?"


    {No reason...}


    After setting up the brewing stand and placing the blaze rods and glass bottles in place, Ender begins looking over a few recipes and starts with the most basic one.


    Potion of Healing: A potion capable of healing minor wounds such as lacerations, bruises, and sprains. That is merely the basic potions. When enhanced with blaze powder it can heal greater injuries. Deeper lacerations, broken bones, organ injuries. If it ain''t fatal it can be healed.


    The ingredients are Glistering Melon and Nether Warts for the Healing 1. Adding Glowstone enhances it to Healing 2.


    Other potions he had brew were Fire Resistance, Potion of Strength, Potion of Swiftness, and even a Potion of Slow Falling that he amused himself with by jumping off a cliff a few times. Although he had to heal some tearfully painful broken legs when it wore off mid-fall one time.


    The cheatsy recovery by chicken took care of that.


    Next Ender started working on Enchantment and was surprised to see his unused stat increase after his first enchantment.


    [Magic: 2/100.]


    "Oh? My magic leveled up!" Ender said.


    {I see. You needed to offer something up to enchant things and we don''t have exp levels. I guess you can use magic. Lets see how much you can enchant before your drained.}


    Ender nods, "okay."


    The answer was 4 enchantments before his magic was drained. Even then he could only use low leveled enchantments.


    Sharpness 1 on his current iron sword and Hardness 1 on his staff makes them much more deadly.


    After recovering his magic he continued to enchant things randomly. Surprisingly even certain normal items can be enchanted.


    Ender loves his Softness 1 Pillow!


    To be continued...

 Chapter 5

    **Accidentally Discovering the World Ender was Born in by Learning Skills.**


    It has been 3 years since Ender had been born in this unknown new world. The progression of his skills have been far satisfactory. He had fought all manner of mobs to get to the level he is at currently.


    Zombies, skeletons, creepers, and even pillagers. He had experienced so many near-misses during his fights to the death that he is surprised to not have met the reaper itself yet.


    Ender has experienced far more than any 8 year old has a right to, unless they were born on Planet Vegeta.


    With Ada''s help Ender was able to build a reliable disposal system with lava in a way that prevents the lava from cooling off and hardening. So his experimental enchantments can be cleanly disposed of properly.


    Franky from One Piece is a good example on how to not handle unused creations. Thanks to him Tom was taken. One Piece does have it''s moments to help someone gain wisdom.


    Don''t leave your unused creations or inventions laying around for someone unsavory to use.


    Ender had made some progress on his combat skills and he is now looking to develop a defensive skill. Sure he can blink the day away, but having a skill to defend himself with would give him an extra sense of security.


    In the training room Ender stands at ready with his iron sword at ready. A vindicator charges at him with it''s axe. Ender raises his sword up diagonally and blocks the axe strike. Sparks begin to fly when the blades collide. Both struggling to overpower the other... Well at least the helpless pillager trying to overpower an 8 year old child who seems unfazed.


    {Never thought I would see the day a kid easily overpower a grown ass man.}


    Ender shrugs his shoulder as he keeps blocking the pillager''s axe, "Goku could do it easily."


    {Yeah, but he is a saiyan. He has the blood of a warrior''s race flowing through his veins. He was destined to be badass.}


    "A badass goofball idiot."


    {True.}


    As he blocks another strike from his foe''s axe, Ender suddenly feels something and subconsciously tilts his head to the side in time to barely miss a bolt soaring past his head from another pillager carrying a crossbow.


    "Phew!... That was a close one!"


    {My, your instincts are improving! You didn''t even have to look back and you still dodged it. If I didn''t know better I would suspect you have awakened Observa-}


    *Ding~*


    [Observation Haki: 1/100.]


    A new skill immediately popped up, interrupting Ada.


    {-tion.... Haki.}


    "Sweet! A new skill." Ender cheers joyfully, his emotionless face still not reflecting it. If one looked carefully they would see a sparkle.


    {I was only making a joke. Do you know what this means?}


    " I am the One?"


    {NO! If you learned Observation Haki that means we are in the world of One Piece!}


    "Oh," Ender finally gets her point, "I read a few of those volumes. Pretty weird world with people who stretch, turn into smoke, and miniature talking reindeer with blue noses."


    {This world is friggin insane, Ender! If your not careful you will attract the wrath of the World Nobles!}


    "Who are they?" Ender asks.


    {They are the 19 families who created the World Government and claims to rule the world as kings. They are horrible people who terrorize and enslave people. Kill whoever they want, and have ruined countless families.


    I believe they are responsible for the Void Century and will execute anyone who tries to look into it. Even Nico Robin as a child was given a bounty due to her being able to read the poneglyphs which are unbreakable stones that contain the world''s history.}


    {This world may seem all cheerful and lighthearted in the series. But I assure you that reality is anything but. You need to be strong in this world or you will be suppressed! If you can get all of your skills to max before the series begin, then nothing in this world will be able to suppress you.


    Not the Marines, World Government, Cypher Pol, the Elders, IM, or even the most powerful being resting in the depths of the sea. I don''t know what it is, but it is easily a level 100+ for sure!}


    Ender contemplates her words and nods, "I will do my best to max out my skills and stats."


    Ada is relieved to hear his declaration. Ender is anything but lazy. He will put in more than 100% effort when he grinds his stats. He will even strive to level up his newly awakened skill, Observation Haki to the max. Ada intends to use her knowledge to help Ender awaken the other two forms of Haki, Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Let''s be real. Ender has the makings of a king, he just needs the push to awaken it. Any transmigrator deserves that much.


    ...


    **Ada Discovers Console Commands and calls Ender a Cheater!**


    Ender is 9 years old now and has already gotten a few of his skills to max already. Sword, Block, Blunt Weapons. These are some examples of skills that had reached max level. His block at max level can easily defect projectiles back to their targets and even parry the best of swordsman. If Ender fought Hawkeye Mihawk with merely swordsmanship alone, he wouldn''t lose at all.


    Ada calls Ender the cheater of cheaters!


    He finds his previous life''s personality quite amusing. Especially when she asks for her soul back even if it''s not possible.


    This has him considering a possibility of creating a body and soul for Ada in the future so she can live again. Maybe something like an artificial modified soul like Kon, Noba, Kuroda, and Ririn from Bleach.


    He will find away one day. He owes it much to his predecessor, which whom he considers a sister figure.


    [Please insert commands.]


    "... What did you do Ada?" Ender asks when a keyboard like screen appears below his CCS menu.


    {I... May have discovered console commands?}


    "Consule commands?"


    {Console commands can be used in creative mode in the Minecraft game. Some let you summon npcs and mobs, change the weather and time of day, lets you fly, summon items and loot, and other things. With the Command Block it gets even more wilder.}


    "That sounds amazing." Ender said, the console commands may add even more fun to his life.


    {What it is is bullshit you cheating bastard...}


    "Sorry..."


    {Sigh... Don''t worry about it. This brings you potential new advantages. If we are lucky then we can troll the hell out of this world! I would make it rainy every single day at Rainbase just to fuck with that little bitch Crocodile.}


    "..."


    {Oh! Maybe we can summon some items here to use and horde awesome loot like Devil Fruits or the training manuals for the Marine''s Six Powers! It will be so awesome!}


    If Ada had a body her eyes would be sparkling like the stars with how excited she is. Ender does not know what the Six Powers or Devil Fruits are, but whatever they are is making his CCS assistant every excited.


    "... Should I not test them out first?" Ender asks bringing Ada back to reality.


    {Oh. Ahem!... Very well then, follow my lead and type in the console command...}


    Following Ada''s direction Ender types into the console command.


    [/Time Set 18000]


    ...


    Nothing had happened much to Ada''s disappointment. In Minecraft that command would have turned day to night. Currently it is early in the noon. If the time of day were to suddenly change mass hysteria would ensue worldwide.


    "Nothing happened, Ada." Ender said.


    {Darn... I was hoping it would work. Lets try...}


    Ender typed in the next console command as per Ada''s request.


    [/Weather Rain]


    Once again nothing happened when he had entered the console command. Looking up all Ender can see is a clear sunny day with but a few puffy white clouds drifting by.


    "Nothing..."


    {Sigh... Maybe commands that affect the natural world won''t work. Let''s try something else, like summoning certain items. We need new recipes so summon the next best metal. Steel.}


    "Okay."


    [/Summon Steel Ingot]


    After typing in the command Ender watches as an object appears in a flash of light and lands on the ground. From somewhere in the world a steel ingot was stolen and dropped at the clueless young Enderman.


    "I hope no one misses this metal." Ender reaches down and picks up the ingot, examining it carefully in scrutiny. "It certainly feels harder than an iron ingot. Maybe I can upgrade my weapons."


    {I don''t see why not. Steel is much better. But if you really want some good gear then just make some damn diamond gear!}


    "But diamond stands out too much, Ada!" Ender complains.


    {Whatever you stubborn brat! Now try the fall damage command.}


    Ender nods.


    [/falldamage]


    "... I don''t feel anything." Ender says.


    {Seriously, go jump off a cliff or something. Duh!}


    "Okay..."


    Running away from his cabin Ender finds a less steep part of the cliff and climbs up. Heading over to where his house is built, also where it is at it''s highest, he looks down and swallows saliva nervously.


    "Okay... It''s for... Science! Nothing ventured nothing gained."


    No longer hesitating Ender steps over the edge of the cliff...


    *Thud!*


    He crashes into the ground on his back and stares blankly into the sky as he comes to terms with foolishly jumping off a cliff. He is still sweating from his fear. Gasping out his held breath Ender says.


    "It didn''t hurt. I''m not broken this time" Ender said in relief.


    {This time? Ooooh! I forgot about your Acrobatics training! You broke your legs that one time!}


    "I cried..."


    Ender starts typing on the console once again.


    [/falldama-


    {Wait-wait-wait! Why are you turning it off!? Your literally immune to gravity now!}


    "Oh, right. Delete."


    He deletes it immediately and types in another console command.


    [/firedamage]


    After thinking about this command Ender begins to wonder how to test this one out. Ada mentioned that in Minecraft this made the player immune to all fire damage, lava included. So Ender pulls out a lava bucket and nervously reached his hand closer to the smoldering hot lava within the bucket.


    *Gulps!*


    "First I jump off a cliff now i''m sticking my hand in a bucket of lava." Ender says humorously, "if someone saw me now they would think I''m insane..."


    {If someone saw you now they would wonder how you got lava into an iron bucket without melting it. How would you explain that?}


    "Uh... Magic?"


    He works up the courage and slams his hand down into the bucket with his eyes closed and teeth clenched. Expecting agonizing pain but feeling nothing.


    Opening his eyes he looks at his hand submerged inside the bucket.


    "It doesn''t hurt," Ender says and pulls his hand out only to find his normally clean hand covered in ash and soot, but overall unharmed, "I still have my hand! Thank Notch and Oda!"


    {Do you know what this means Ender!?}


    "What?"


    {This means you can make Ace and Akainu your bitches since they spam their devil fruit powers big time!}


    "Okay?"


    Ender tests out one more console command which makes him immune to water damage. In order to test it out he went to the beach and jumped into the ocean to find that there was very little resistance when he moved around in the water.


    And better yet, in a world dominate by water, Ender finds himself able to actually breathe underwater thanks to this command. Ada theorizes that Ender will lose that weakness to water all devil fruit users have if he ate one thanks to this cheat.


    {I still think your a cheating bastard.}


    To be continued...

 Chapter 6

    **Ender Awakens Tentacles?**


    [Ender.


    Age: 9.


    Species: Enderman.


    Gender: Male.


    Body Level: 69.


    Magic Level: 54.


    Experience Level: 47.


    ---


    Racial Abilities:


    EnderBlink.


    EnderCloak.


    EnderGaze.


    EnderShadow (NEW) - Enderman have an innate natural connection to the elements of Space, Darkness, and the attributeless End magic. Thus they are able to learn to create and manipulate the darkness around their bodies. Most often used to create tendrils to defend, attack, or restrain anyone within their range of control.


    Pearl of the Ender (NEW) - At higher levels and Enderman is capable of creating the unique one time use item known as an Ender Pearl which allows the one who threw it to blink to it''s landing spot. The process of instant transportation may harm those with weaker bodies. 1/1 per day.]


    -----


    Ender is looking at his recently updated status and is happy to see his growth. His body alone is capable of contending with anyone in the first half of the Grand Line easily. His magic isn''t too far behind his body status either. Now if only he could learn some spells to take advantage of it.


    Ada finally added a stat to determine Ender''s overall combat experience and thanks to console commands they were able to tweak the mob''s equipment and behaviour, thus making them more dangerous and human like in action.


    Skeletons in Ender''s combat simulations can give the U.S. Special Forces a run for their money! Let''s not speak of the tactical advancements the Pillagers made and how close he had come to dying.


    Imagine how deadly they can become if they were equipped with firearms eventually. Ender shudders at the thought, but in the end it all becomes experience that will lead Ender to becoming unfettered and truly free in this world.


    "EnderShadow?" Reads Ender. It had been a while since he had checked his actual status growth and finally notices a few new racial skills available. One being able to create a special transportation artifact daily with his magic, the other granting him the ability to create and manipulate a shroud of darkness around him.


    {Oh, wow! Those are some cool abilities. Ender Pearls in the game teleports the player to wherever the pearl landed after being thrown. The further you threw it the more hearts you lost on impact.}


    "It sounds very convenient if your not an Enderman." Ender says.


    {It really is. Those beauties have save my ass numerous times, be it from a fall in lava or escaping from a fully diamond armored douche bag wanting to PK me in an open server. Truly a life saving treasure.}


    "What is PK?" Asked Ender.


    {It means player kill. More of an annoyance really. I used to play on this very awesome MMORPG Minecraft mod with a bunch of others. Fun, frustrating, time blowing, epic. That mod was the bomb!}


    Ender says, "Must be where my current skill system is coming from."


    {In a small way it is. In the MMO mod you needed to learn skills from NPCs, or Non-Playable Characters, who taught you skills and give you quests. Your growth progression seems more like the vanilla style leveling with the original skill mods.}If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    "I''m just glad it''s not too complicated," Ender said, "micromanaging numerous stats and dealing with my skill levels at the same time. Horrible!"


    {I could always reprogram the status menu to add in that information. I already have a good feel for your body''s conditioning and growth.}


    "Please no..."


    He can hear her laughing in his head.


    Ender heads back into his training grounds to test out his new skill. The Pearl of the Ender did not require him to do anything as it automatically deposited the pearl into his inventory.


    "Lets see how this works..." Ender closes his eyes and attempts to tap into his innate connection with the element of darkness. Meditating for a few minutes, he is able to feel the cool and gentle embrace of darkness shrouding his.


    Darkness is not the cold and vicious, often considered evil force of nature people make it out to be. Just like it''s counterpart Light it is an essential part of nature. A part of an established balance. The only thing vicious and evil are those who use it with such intents.


    Opening his eyes he looks back to find a barely visible shroud of darkness hovering close to his back. With a smile he imagines it forming a tendril that slowly forms into a pitch black tentacle with purple end energy covering it. It slithers around and grabs the stone he commanded it grab and lifts it up to his face.


    "It''s not hard at all once you have a clear image in your head," Ender said, forming a few more tendrils that he controls to complete their own individual tasks, "Unlike my space based abilities, this one consumes my magic."


    {Rawr! You have truly become a tentacle monster. Your future girlfriend is gonna be blessed for sure!}


    "..." Ender raises a brow at that, not quite catching her oddly perverted comment.


    {What? Girls have their kinks to yo! If my ex-husband could do that or create shadow clones then our sex life would never grow stale!}


    "Ex-husband?" Asked Ender.


    {Yeah, ex. As in death do us part. Well, death did do us part. Just don''t quite know how I died or if I had any children.}


    "My condolences," Ender offers his sympathy.


    {Thanks...}


    Thus Ender continues his practices in silence out of respect for Ada so that she may cope with her loss. She did leave behind a family after all.


    ...


    **Ender hates Creepers!**


    *Hiss!*


    *BOOM!*


    An explosion rocks this neck of the wood and a small figure in black can be seen flailing through the air like a rag doll, smoke and blood trailing behind him. If one looks closrly they would notice a few things missing.


    *Thud!*


    "Oof!"


    Ender crashes into the ground painfully and groans in pain, his body riddled with far more injury than anything else he had experience. No matter how strong one gets, if a creepy green and black creature with the tendency to give you an explosive huge sneaks up on you, your gonna get hurt really bad


    Ender understands it personally.


    He had, by complete accident, set loose a few creepers into the forests near his home. The thing about creepers is they are complete and utter trolls.


    When your looking at them and make eye contact they will only pass a glance and ignore you. But the moment you take your eyes off the little bastards they will charge you and give you the Hug of Boom!


    They explode so fast too! Sometimes when he is distracted, Ender would not notice until the last moment!


    *Groans*


    "I hate those little bastards..." Ender says laying face down on the ground and curses with his every fiber and being all that is creeper-kind, "... I hope thee burn in hell."


    {Minecraft 101, Creepers be creepin''. Your first mistake was letting the creepers loosr. Mistake number 2 was forgetting you let them loose. Number 3 is getting too wrapped up in your activities when your roaming around outside.}


    "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Ender rolls over and groans again in pain, "I can''t feel my legs..."


    {Heh, what legs?}


    Hearing her question Ender looks down to find the bloody stumps in which his legs once were.


    "... Little bastard blew my legs off."


    Ender curses loudly and pulls out a lot of cooked meat from his inventory. Since his unique constitution allows him to heal merely by eating food or drinking potions, Ender devoured his precooked meal.


    Yes, it even regenerates his lost body parts he had discovered a while back. If anyone else saw this their eyes would bulge out in shock.


    "Now I wait for them to grow back," said Ender as he lays back to rest, "I''m gonna exterminate those pests when I get my damn legs back."


    {Your still a cheating prick.}

 Chapter 7.

    **Devil Fruits that do Exist!**


    [/Summon...]


    Following Ada''s instructions Ender typed in the name of a certain object, curious to see if it exists. Said object are fruits that gain the consumer certain fantastic and mythical powers. Some of these can grant the eater a body made of rubber that allowd them to stretch or inflate, other fruits turn their bodies into gases, liquids, or even solids. The last type of fruit grant the eater to turn into beasts and even take on their charactetistics and instincts in their human form.


    We are, of course talking about the legendary Devil fruits of the One Piece world!


    These fruits are more prominently well known thanks to certain legendary individuals.


    - Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate with his Tremor-Tremor Fruit. This lets him cause quakes capable of shattering even space itself. Considered one of the most powerful fruits.


    - Monkey D. Luffy with his Gum-Gum fruit gives him a body structure of rubber making him immune to blunt force and allows him to stretch his whole body like a rubber band.


    - Smoker''s fruit gives him the ability to transform his body completely into smoke granting him immunity to all physical attacks not coated with sea stone or haki.


    - Kaido''s fruit grants him draconic features and literally allows him to turn into an eastern dragon. With his mastery of armament haki and his draconic regenerative abilities, Kaido is very very hard to kill. Hell, Kaido will test his own resilience often, such as freefalling from the sky.


    The point is that devil fruits are amazing!


    Even ignoring the obvious weaknesses of being unable to swim and sea stone weakening the fruit user due to the curse, devil fruits are a valuable asset to have.


    One that Ada intends to take advantage of by spamming the console commands if it''s possible. If these certain fruits exist and they have not been eaten yet, then Ender should be able to summon them.


    After typing in the summon command nothing happens for a short amount of time. As they were about to call it a failure a flash of light surprises them and a sky blue fruit with cloud shaped patterns appears before them much to Ada''s delight!


    {Yes! Yes! Yes! It really does exist! I hoped that it did but now that I can see it in person, words cannot express how happy I am to see a real life devil fruit!}


    While Ada continues to cheer happily in his head, Ender kneels down and picks up the mysterious devil fruit to examine it. The sky blue skin marked with the cloudy pattern is quite fascinating for the kid.


    This particular devil fruit is known as the Weather-Weather Fruit!


    Weather-Weather Fruit - Paramecia: A fruit that grants it''s consumer the ability to manipulate the very weather itself. From small rainstorms to full on typhoons capable of drowninf whole islands. The weather will bow to the consumer''s will.


    {The Weather-Weather Fruit! It''s really really real yo! If you eat this fruit you can control the weather! Make it snow in a desert, make it rain during a drought, drop tornadoes and thunderbolts on them mere mortal ants! You would be a bigger and badder Zues yo!}The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "That sounds amazing," said Ender with intrigue. Becoming a non- mutant male Storm sounds interesting to Ender. Yes, Ender had read some of the Marvel comics and knows who Storm is, "should I eat it?"


    {Nah, let''s see what else we can snatch with console commands first.}


    He nods and types in another fruit Ada is hopeful of existing. She had ever heard of these fruits in fanfiction like this one! (??)


    [/Summon...]


    This time Ender had waited for 15 minutes to see if this particular fruit exists or not, they wouldn''t be able to tell considering there is a chance of this fruit had already be eaten by someone else at some point. It''s a chance they are willing to take.


    20 minutes later...


    "I guess we won''t get th-"


    *Flash!*


    A fruit finally appeared in a flash.


    "-is fruit..."


    {I KNEW IT! Even this fruit is real! The legendary Water-Water Fruit! The fruit that turns someone into a water person!}


    Watet-Water Fruit - Logia: A blue fruit with water drop like patterns on it that grants it''s eater the ability to become, create, and manipulate H20 at it''s finest. Although it still suffers from the typical devil fruit curses. If the curse can be lifted then the eater would be uncontested in the seas.


    Ender says after reading the fruits information, "It''s even more ridiculous than the storm fruit."


    {Nothing is too OP if you want to live the good life in this world. The powerful, be it personal or political power, will always suppress those aspiring to rise to the top. If you become a threat to IM''s position and he learns of it then he will do anything to erase you.}


    "He seems pretty arrogant considering he is not even in the top 15 most powerful hidden masters in the world," Said Ender, " I would pay to see him fight the level 100 beneath the seas."


    {He''d get fucked big time.}


    Storing both fruits in his inventory Ender starts typing in another fruit summon in the console commands.


    [/Summon...]


    This time they did not have to wait long as the fruit appeared mere seconds after Ender hit the enter button.


    "That was fast," Ender said.


    {I think that the time it takes for the item to appear is dependant on how far away it is in relation to our current position. The Water-Water Fruit was probably originally on the otherside of the world.}


    Ender nods, "sounds about right. We might be robbing people without even knowing."


    {Eh, it''s probably for the best when we start Operation Guild. More valuable resources for us.}


    Agreeing with Ada''s statement, Ender picks up a dark blue fruit with flame shaped patterns all over it.


    This is the Cat-Cat Fruit, Model Nekomata - Mythical Zoan.


    Cat-Cat Fruit, Model Nekomata - Mythical Zoan: The consumer is granted the characteristics of the mythical 2-tailed cat with unparalleled agility and flexibility. You will never truly know if this little prankster is sneaking up on you. If it''s steel sharp claws fail to shred their prey then their scorching blue flames will burn them to a crisp.


    "This is a good haul for today," Ender says with Ada agreeing wholeheartedly.


    {That''s for sure. These 3 fruits will be a great start in building up the foundation of our guild. Now we need some manpower to train up.}


    "We got plenty of time, Ada. Let''s research the recipe that unlocked when we stored the fruits in my inventory," said Ender.


    [Recipe Unlocked: Purified Devil Fruit.]


    {Oh, that is bullshit!}

    Somewhere deep beneath the depths of the New World...


    Hidden within the darkness of an abyss where even the bravest of sea kings avoid at all cost, a mysterious being begins to stir. Eyes of titanic proportions open revealing glowing aquamarine colored pupils that give off an ancient and divine presence. All sea life in the are look on in reverence.


    A ethereal and feminine voice echoes from the depth with a tone of intrigue, "How curious. A mortal has managed to pry my precious fruit from my grasp."


    The mysterious being''s eyes flash releasing a pulse of unseen energy that flows throughout the world''s seas, observing all that is above and all that is below the waves. It''s senses have detected the anonymous presence that peaks it''s interest.


    "How curious indeed. An anomaly that has stole this one''s forbidden fruit," the being laughs in amusement, "I will observe your progress little black one. If you can conquer the curse of the sea and come before me, then I may consider you worthy."


    "Finally, someone who has earned the right to undergo the Poseidon Trials after one million years. Hehehehehe! So exciting!"


    To be continued... For real this time...

 Chapter 8.

    **Ender''s Place in the World and Timeline.**


    Ender is now 11 years old and there is absolutely nothing in this region of the world he is in currently that can contend with his current strength. While not maxed out currently with his stats, it''s only a few years until he reaches his peak.


    "It''s beautiful..." Ender said as he examines the steel hammer in his hand. Using Ada''s image as his basis in crafting it, he had recreated the legendary Mjolnir of Thor, the God of Thunder in all but power.


    He ain''t a god after all.


    He didn''t like the short handle so he extended it''s length to 5'' long and is satisfied with it''s feel.


    Swinging it around a few times he nods in satisfaction before storing it back in his inventory.


    "Good. Now it''s time."


    {You sure you want to do this, Ender?}


    "Yes," he nods, "We haven''t left our neck of the woods in the 6 years I''ve been here. I''m more than strong enough to handle anything on this island, right?"


    {... Haah! Fine then. Be careful and don''t try and attract too much attention to yourself.}


    "Okay."


    He rushes off to explore further than he ever had before. His starting point being the beach. If this island has a civilized population then they would definitely be a port town right?


    .


    .


    .


    Ender follows the beach towards the west and within 30 minutes he had already seen signs of civilization. A small coastal village with colorfully painted houses. Strangely enough he is unable to find anyone wandering around.


    "Is this village abandoned?" Ender asks.


    {No, it''s not. I can detect a large gathering of people further ahead near a structure outside the main village. Check it out.}


    "Got it."


    He sprints towards the gathering only to find a terrible sight. A number of villagers injured and scared while being held up by some strange humanoids with fish-like aspects.


    "What are they?"


    {Huh!? Those are fish-man!}


    Beyond the group of accosted villagers one particular fish-man stands out. Being at 8''7" he towers over everyone else easily.


    Muscular, light blue saw-shark fish-man whose most distinctive trait is his saw-shaped nose. He has long, black hair with a widow''s peak reaching down to his shoulders, under a brown ushanka. He has a fin on his nape, surrounded by his hair, and the gills are located on both the sides of his neck.


    Ender can easily hear what the fish-man says as he raises his pistol at the forehead of the bloodied and injured woman standing in front of him.


    "You''ll be, my first example to the others...!" The fish-man says.


    *Click!*


    "Die for your stupid love." He finishes.


    The woman smiles, taking a puff from her cigarette and shouts, "Nojiko! Nami!"Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    The small little girls behind her are watching their mother with tears in their eyes. The woman then said in contentment, accepting her fate, "I love you ?"


    Everyone watches in fear as the fish-man''s finger begins to slowly tighten on the trigger of his pistol...


    {Ender, save her!}


    Reacting instantly Ender vanishes in a puff.


    *Zip!*


    Expecting the satisfying blast of his gun and the splatter of a puny human''s brain matter all over the ground. The fish-man is startled to find the lowly human woman still standing before him looking just as baffled as he is. Looking down he finds that his pistol is missing and purple flower petals fading into nothing.


    "Where the hell''s my gun!?" The fish-man shouts.


    *Click!* *Click!* *Click!*


    Clicking noises can be heard from nearby but he is more worried about his lost gun.


    "Arlong!" Another fish-man calls out to him and points to a child of 11 years old with the blackest of hair, purple eyes, and outfitted in all black casually disassembling his gun.


    Seeing this Arlong''s eyes go red in fury and he shouts at Ender who is in his own little world playing with the gun, "You little bastard, what are you doing with my gun!?"


    Glancing at Arlong in disinterest Ender said, "stealing your gun..." Flicking his left hand the gun disappears into his inventory.


    "Fish belong in the sea. Get off my island." Ender says shocking everyone with his courageous demand.


    "Little boy, I was going to use that bitch as an example." Arlong says, "but now I have decided that a child''s corpse would leave a better message. Die boy!"


    Arlong rushes at Ender with every intention of ripping him apart with his bare hands.


    "LOOK OUT!" Belle-Mere shouts out.


    Arlong swings his hand at Ender but before he can grab him-


    *Zip!*


    -he vanishes in a shroud of petals shocking the onlookers. Arlong looks around frantically and finds the boy tossing a number of green and black objects in his colleagues groups.


    The objects explode and produce strange green and black creatures that begin to his aggressively at the fish-man.


    *Hiss!* *Hiss!* *Hiss!*


    "What the hell are these things?" A random fish-man asks.


    "I don''t know! The way they are hissing is creeping me out!" Another one replies.


    The creepers begin to flash and pulsate. "They are blinking, why are they doing that."


    "You know," Ender goes to say, "Ada has taught me alot about art during these 6 years. Thanks to a wise psychopath, I have come to know that art is... An explosion!"


    Each of the creepers begin to detonate into a fiery inferno of carnage decimating a majority of the fish-man in the explosions. Most of them are moaning and crying out in agony suffering from the blasts. A good number of them are out with their fate being unknown.


    One particular octopus fish-man went soaring towards the sea with Ada hoping he survives for some reason. Arlong watching as his bretheren suffer by the hands of a little monster from the East Blue.


    Arlong roars out in fury and launches at Ender nose first intending to gore him.


    "YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!! I''LL RIP YOU TO SHREDS!!" Arlong shouts.


    Holding his hand forward Ender calls out his hammer and takes a batter''s stance. When Arlong comes into range, Ender swings up and smashes the raging fish-man high into the sky.


    "Now to add the finishing touch."


    *Zip!*


    Ender blinks above Arlong who had reached the peak of his ascent and swings down hard. When the hammer connects with the top of Arlong''s head, his head caves in slightly and his eyes bulge out nearly popping out completely.


    Like a bullet Arlong is shot back into the ground like a bullet and crashes in a blast of earth and dust.


    Ender crashes back down into the ground himself, fully taking advantage of his fall damage immunity.


    When the dust settles Arlong is out cold, eyes white with blood and foam bubbling from his mouth. According to Ada, Arlong may end up comatose or brain damaged after that hit.


    "Think I overdid it?" Ender asks.


    {Nah, he had it coming. He will live, but he might not be the same ever again. Do you know what we did?}


    "What?"


    {We changed a part of the canon! Belle-mere died in the original canon and Arlong would spend the next 10 years terrorizing Conomi Island. Gosa Village would have been destroyed, Arlong would build his eye-sore of a base, Nami would be forced to draw maps for Arlong, and set sail to steal belli to buy back Cocoyasi Village.}


    "So... We changed the future?" Ender said.


    {Exactly! I felt that Belle-mere''s death was one of the saddest moments in the series.}


    Ender nods. Noticing some of the least injured fish-man trying to recover, Endet blinks into double time and bonks all conscious fish-man into unconsciousness. The villagers are still staring at him in shock and a little in fear.


    After all there is not a lot of 11 year olds in tbe world capable of easily taking out fish-man with a hugely oversized hammer and exploding green monsters.


    Their question is...


    "Where did this little monster come from?"


    To be continued...

 Chapter 9.

    H


    **Ender PoV Cuz he felt like it!**


    The people of Cocoyashi village are a little shaken up after the ordeal they were put through at the hands of the fish-men and subsequent massacre caused by the harmless looking 11 year old in all black.


    But they were able to recover quickly enough to start working on restraining the invaders that are steal breathing. Genzo had to be taken in for treatment as he had suffered some injuries that will definitely scar.


    Belle-mere had a few broken ribs along with her arms and is bloodied up. But in the end she will live happily with the two cute girls she had adopted.


    The two said girls are hugging their mother, tears flowing in happiness knowing that their mother was spared from certain death at the last moment. No one here would know the horrors that would plague them if I had not stepped in.


    "I did do the right thing, right?" I ask Ada.


    {You did. Too many good people have died in the serie''s past, this moment was especially sad. Belle-mere was a good mother to Nojiko and Nami, even giving up her life for them.}


    "... But are messing with the timeline." Ender said.


    {Our existence is an anomaly, Ender. No matter what we do or who we interact with it will cause waves of changes. It is inevitable. Live the life you want and let no one stand in your way. If IM fucks with you, erase him. This is your story.}


    I nod my head. Ada is right, this is my story and I will dictate how it flows. Who I save, who I kill, where I go. It''s my decision and mine along.


    I will max out my current stats and skills and start exploring this world to see all that it has in store, learn all that I can, and make my place in life.


    .


    .


    .


    All of the villagers have safely secured the surviving fish-man. Somehow they managed to secure a transponder snail and requested them to come pick up the captured pirates. Thankfully I didn''t hear my name come up. I''d rather not have the marines try and recruit me into their hypocritical organization.


    Genzo hasn''t returned so I assume they ordered him to rest after patching him up. Those cuts on his face will for sure scar.


    Belle-mere was cleaned and patched up, her arm in a sling. Staring at me in a daze. Makes since consideting she was staring death in the face, only to be liberated from that fate. She walks over to me and starts speaking.


    "Hey kid, I want to say thanks," Belle-mere said with a smile on her face, "I was ready to give it all up so that my daughters could live."


    Nami is hidden behind her legs and speaks out with a sniffle, "t-thank you for saving our m-mom!"Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    "Yeah! Thanks for saving Belle-mere and the village!" Thanked Nojiko.


    This was a traumatic experience for such young little girls and they will probably have some nightmares for a little while. Fortunately their mother will be there to comfort them.


    I nodded my head and said, "think nothing of it. I couldn''t let that monster just kill you in cold blood."


    Belle-mere laughs when I called Arlong a monster. Probably thinking something along the line of, "If Arlong is a monster then what are you?"


    "Regardless, kid. I appreciate it," said Belle-mere, "Now I can watch my little girls grow up into beautiful young ladies. As a mom it is my duty to run off any unworthy dogs who pursue my girls!"


    ""Belle-mere!"" Nojiko and Nami whines out in embarrassment garnering a laugh from the ex-marine.


    Belle-mere looks at me and asks, "your a tough little monster are you? What are you like 9 or 10 years old?"


    "11..." I answer.


    "Well damn kid! I didn''t know the East Blue, also known as the weakest seas, had such a monstrously strong kid living here. Those fish-man came from the New World, I recognize that tattoo from the dossiers of the Sun Pirates formerly led by Fisher Tiger." She said.


    "Your sooo strong!" Nami shouts out in excitement, "where did you come from!"


    "Yeah! We never seen you before!" Nojiko said, "did you come from Gosa Village?"


    "I admit that I''m curious myself," Belle-mere joined in.


    I points eastward towards the beach.


    "I live 30 minutes walk east from here if you follow the beach. It''s a small cabin in the woods beneath a cliff." I explained.


    "Hm..." Belle-mere begins to think, "30 minutes east would put you half way between Cocoyashi and Gosa. I didn''t realise you were so close. How long have you lived there?"


    "... About 6 years."


    She looks at me and her freshly lit cigarette drops, "6-6 years? What about your family?"


    I shake my head, "I don''t have any. I always lived alone"


    She is shocked that a kid my age could live and survive on my own since I was 5. She said, "You were living on your own since you were 5!? How?"


    "I am really resourceful and strong," I said playfully flexing my muscles.


    Belle-mere laughs dryly, "After seeing you massacre those fish-man I believe it. What''s your name kid? I''m Belle-mere and these are my girls Nojiko and Nami." She introduces herself and two girls by resting her hands on their shoulder.


    "My name is Ender."


    After chatting with the family of three I went on my way after promising to visit from time to time. The woman still worries about me living alone for some reason. Maternal instincts perhaps.


    When I came back later in the evening a festival was being held in honor of surviving the calamity that nearly plagued the Conomi Islands. I was of course dragged into it by the family of three. I even donated some of my cooked meat to the villagers and was cheered on for it.


    The villagers still look on me in fear somewhat, but they eased up seeing how easy it was to get along with the village trouble making duo, Nojiko and Nami. 3 days later a marine ship arrived and collected the captured Arlong Pirates.


    In respect of me wishing to remain anonymous all credit of their capture went to Belle-mere. The marines were happy enough to give her credit due to her being a retired marine as it boosted their image in the eyes of the rest of the world.


    Thus Belle-mere was paid a hefty sum for the bounties and went from broke to well off. Much to mine and Ada''s relief, a certain rat-faced bastard was not assigned captain yet so no deals were made with Arlong. With Belke-mere being the public culprit for the fish-man''s defeat, she will be a good deterrent to his greed.


    As for me I just looked on without a care in the world enjoying my cookies.


    Yoink!


    "Hey! My cookie!" I yelled out in indignation.


    "Teehehehe!" Nami giggles and scurries of like a little, "my cookie now!"


    "..." I just watch her vanish into the sunset before taking out another cookie, "I''m stuck with them aren''t I?"


    Yoink!


    "Hey!"


    "Teehehehe!" Nojiko scurries off with the next cookie.


    "You betcha you are kid," Belle-mere says after claiming the third cookie I pulled out and taking a bite, "these cookies a damn good kid!"


    "..."


    *Sighs*


    To be continued...

 Chapter 10.

    **Secret Training Chamber Revealed.**


    After the fiasco involving the fish-man pirates and Belle-mere''s rise to hero status to everyone outside of Conomi Island. I returned to my much more subdued life of grinding out my skills in peace and quiet... Or rather I did for a few days...


    One day I got a surprise when Belle-mere and the girls visited (invaded) my home shortly after my morning warm up exercises and show.


    *Knock* *Knock!* *Knock!*


    "Hm?"


    I opened the door to find the three local troublemakers at the door all smiles.


    "HI!" Nami cheered, "we came to check out your crib!"


    Belle-mere whistles checking the place out, "not bad kid. I expected something shabby when you said you lived alone in the wood, but this little lodge looks better than some of the village homes."


    "I like to keep my place in tip top shape" I said puffing my chest out in pride, "alot of training I may do, but cleanliness is gold to me."


    Belke-mere nods, impressed at my great lifestyle habits. Her thoughts being, ''too bad. Maybe I won''t have to kidnap and adopt him.''


    {I somehow think she was plotting something...}


    ''Strange... So did I.'' I thought in reply.


    Nami rushes back with her arms full of my manga collection with her eyes sparkling. In her excitement she shouts, "Belle-mere! Look at these books! They have pictures and look awesome!"


    {Oh great, the hyperactive future cat-burglar found the manga stash...}


    ''I did hide the One Piece collection, right?'' I asked silently in my head.


    {You did. We can''t have people getting a hold of such prophetic mangas. I would hate to see their reaction to knowing what life had in store for them should Arlong had blown Belle-mere''s brains out.}


    I nod in understanding, ''It would suck and bring up unnecessary questions.''


    "Hey, these are pretty damn good!" Belle-mere says in praising, "I dunno what Berserk is but I think I''ll like it."


    "OH! Lemme see!" Nami demands but Belle-mere refuses her causing her to sulk.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    "Oh no you don''t little girl, this one is far to mature for you!" Said Belle-mere.


    "Please?" Nami with puppy dog eyes.


    "No!"


    Nami runs off with a huff to browse for more interesting manga.


    "Where did these come from," Belle-mere asked me, "did you write them?"


    I shake my head, "No. They were left to me. They are my treasures."


    "Ahhhh... So soft...." We can hear Nami again.


    {Oh crap, Nami found your Softness V bed!}


    *Snore*


    "Did she just fall asleep on my bed?" I asked, peeking into the open door of my bed to find a sleeping orange haired girl snoring contently with a smile and drool dripping from her opened mouth.


    Belle-mere shouts in annoyance with a tickmark on her head, "Oh hell no missy! It took me forever to wake you up this morning! Outta the bed!"


    "... But it''s sooooo soft Belle-mere!" Whines the saddened and drowsy Nami.


    "I don''t care! Get u- oh! It is really soft!" Belle-mere goes to say before partaking in the bed''s softness.


    "I know right!?" Agreed Nami.


    "Soft, comfortable. If I king would feel this bed he would sell half his kingdom to buy it." Belle-mere comments."


    "I feel like a queen..." Nami moans.


    Nojiko walks in with one of the Harry Potter books in her hand and asks with a quirked brow," What are Belle-mere and Nami doing?"


    "Taking over my bed apparently..." I reply already giving up on retorting them.


    Nojiko has proven to be the most mature one here today despite the fact that Belle-mere is suppose to be the mother figure.


    Eventually we were able to drag them from my bed and tour the rest of the lodge, which only consisted of 1 bedroom, bathroom, and a connected living room and dining room/kitchen.


    Belle-mere has taken an immediate interest in my more mature and action oriented book and manga collection. Berserk and A Song of Fire and Ice.


    Nami preferred the more wild and adventurous tales. Nojiko preferred the mythical types of stories, with an instant like of the Harry Potter stories.


    ''I have a feeling these 3 will be constant visitors.'' I thought.


    {Definitely...}


    After having a very very short tour of my small house I invited them to join be for lunch. All 3 of them seemed to have found some interest in his literature collection, even more so in my storage of freshly cooked food. I claimed the right to remain silent when asked how I could keep the food fresh and still warm.


    That is a trade secret.


    After a lunch we sat down and chat while enjoying some light reading with tea. The mods came with recipes and resources to craft them much to my convenience.


    "Hey!" We heard Nami shout to use from over by the fireplace, "I found a button here!"


    *Click!*


    The bookshelves slide apart revealing a passage that trails into his cavernous training grounds.


    {Oh shit, leave it to the future cat burglar to find a hidden door.}


    "Well damn, she found my hidden door." I said with an annoyed sigh.


    "Hidden door?" Belle-mere asked.


    "Ah, whatever... Might as well look around since it''s out in the open." I said getting and walking through the passage after the hyperactive orange haired girl had already charged in.


    "Wow! A hidden passage just like Hogwarts!" Nojiko said in awe. She seemed to really be into that book.


    Soon enough we come into the cavern itself. With it''s massive size of around two football stadiums with a large number of training equipment laying around. A room for enchantment, one for brewing, my little armory.


    {This is one of these moments I am glad that you had decided to build a redstone vault up high on a ledge that only you can reach with your teleporting.}


    ''I agree wholeheartedly.'' I said in agreement, ''god help my treasure if she learned to fly.''


    The be continued!
