《The Bad Guy Always Wins》 Prologue #1 Dark¡­..why is it so dark? Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here? I look around me, whoever I am. I look down. It doesn¡¯t seem I have a body. It seems like I¡¯m just floating. There¡¯s a bright light further down. All around me there¡¯s darkness except that one light. What is it? I float towards the light. Maybe there¡¯s someone there. I can get some answers. It¡¯s a door. The door emits a blinding light now that I¡¯m so close. The door doesn¡¯t seem to be connected to anything. I look behind the door. More darkness. I grab the knob and open the door. The light becomes stronger. I can¡¯t see anything inside but an even brighter light. I hear a soft soothing voice coming from inside the door. ¡°Come in young one.¡± It¡¯s so soothing. It feels like there''s no reason for me to deny that beautiful voice. I forget all the questions I had. I wanted to be with the voice. I take a step into the door, but then stop. The lights so strong. I want to join that voice so bad but that light. The lights¡¯ not bad but I just don''t want to go in. Why? The darkness is so silent. It¡¯s so peaceful. So comforting. I take a step back into the darkness. ¡°Hm what¡¯s wrong young one?¡± The soothing voice sounds confused. I want to meet the voice. I want to please it...but I don¡¯t want to leave the darkness. As if the voice could read my thoughts it speaks up again. ¡°Oh, I see¡­.¡± The voice sounds disappointed. Another voice speaks up. A deeper rougher voice. ¡°Oh I see, a natural child of darkness.¡± The darkness around me shakes. ¡°Get away from him! ¡°He¡¯s decided Tayuya!¡± ¡°NO! He just doesn¡¯t understand what¡¯s happening! Please Krono!¡± ¡°It¡¯s been 3 thousand years since our agreement. We agreed that if a new soul decided to stay in the darkness he would become the God of Death. I will not wait another thousand years!" ¡°PLEASE!!!¡± ¡°NO!¡± The void of which I¡¯m in shakes. The darkness expands and consumes the door. The lights gone. ¡°Who are you? Who am I? Who was that other voice?¡± I finally speak up having a million questions. ¡°I am the God of Chaos, Krono. You have yet been given a name but you are the future God of Death.¡± ¡°What¡¯s a god? What¡¯s death?¡± I ask the disembodied voice. The voice laughs. ¡°You have not been born yet so you have no knowledge. I will give you basic knowledge of the world that normally you would have to learn yourself. This will help us converse better.¡± A loud snap happens and the darkness shakes.
Gained Basic Knowledge
All of a sudden multiple things rush to my head. Wait¡­I don¡¯t have an head. I at least know what a head is. I know what a god is too now¡­.oh my gods I¡¯m talking to a god! WHAT THE FUCK!?! WHY IS THERE A GOD HERE!?! WHERE IS HERE!?! AM I BEING PUNISHED BY FUCKING GODS!?! WHAT THE HELL DID I DO??? ¡°Calm yourself Death. You are not being punished. You are being granted the gift of godhood. We need you to become the God of Death.¡± If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.¡°Huh? Me become a God of Death? Why do you need me? From the knowledge you have given me, there is already death in the world.¡± ¡°That is technically not true. The mortals bodies die and decay but the souls stay and gets reborn. So far, no mortal has really died. Sure they forget their memories upon rebirth, but they never die.¡± ¡°I still do not understand why you need me. If everything is alright with the rebirthing process, why do you need a God of Death?¡± ¡°That¡¯s the thing, everything is not ok. A mortal''s¡¯ soul is like soil. As the same plant continues to be planted in that same soil, the soils quality disintegrates.¡± ¡°So you¡¯re saying that the souls are deteriorating? What happens when the souls are completely worn out?¡± ¡°They turn into Doomed Souls. They get reborn into the world without bodies. The souls become black with corruption. These souls, once they''re in the world, want to do nothing but kill. They devour the souls of the ones that they kill to become stronger. Once you''re in the world you will have to conquer these beings and use them as your soldiers of death.¡±
Quest Given: Conquer Doomed Souls
Kill the Doomed Souls¡¯ king and take the Doomed Souls as your Death Army! (Most likely won¡¯t complete quest until 10 years of age) Exp: 100,000
Accept Y/N
I accept the quest. From my knowledge 100,000 exp is nothing to laugh at. It even gave me a time of when I will meet them. This most likely means that if I do not meet any Doomed Souls before 10 years of age the gods will intervene. I will have to train my ass off as soon as I start walking. God or not, how am I supposed to become a king at 10. ¡°It¡¯s finally time for you to be born. You will get a special skill as you are born as it is your birthright. Good luck Death. May we meet again.¡± ¡°Thank you for everything Chaos. I will do my best. By the way, before I go, who was that woman. She seemed to not want me to become the God of Death. Why?¡± ¡°That was the God of Life, Tayuya. If you are created, she will have a polar opposite. This will make her have less control of her domain.¡± ¡°What does me being born have to do with her domain over life?¡± ¡°You becoming Death will let you have some influence on Life. This will put you two in a power struggle for which controls the domain of who gets to live or die more. For example, my polar opposite is Order. We fight over dominance all the time.¡± ¡°Does that mean me and Life will become enemies?¡± I ask and he laughs. ¡°From the moment you decided to stay in the darkness you were enemies. Good luck Death, for real this time.¡±
You Are Born
Chapter 1: Early Days of Life The darkness recedes and gets replaced by light. It seems it¡¯s not just me anymore. I¡¯m getting held by a woman. There seems to be another woman in a bed. That must be my mother. There¡¯s a man on the side of the bed holding her hand tightly. I¡¯m guessing that¡¯s my father. ¡°It¡¯s a little boy Mistress.¡± the lady that¡¯s holding me says. Mistress? I must have been born in a very wealthy family. ¡°Yes!¡± I hear the man scream. The woman in the bed slaps him on his shoulder. ¡°Give him to me Sharla. I want to see my first born.¡± the woman says. The, I assume, maid hands me over to the woman. ¡°Why isn¡¯t he crying. Aren¡¯t all newborns born into the world crying?¡± My mother asks worried. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a sign of strength Mistress.¡± ¡°Of course it is! My son is born a man. He doesn¡¯t cry. He¡¯s part of the esteemed Crow family!¡± the man finally speaks up. ¡°Do you think so Xanxus?¡± The woman asks. So that¡¯s my father¡¯s name, Xanxus. ¡° Yes I do Mary. So what should we name him?¡± ¡° I was thinking Xanxus, just like his father.¡± My mom kisses me on the forehead.

So these are my stats? My intelligence is pretty high. Must be because Chaos granted me Basic Knowledge. I take a good look at my mom. She has blond hair, blue eyes, and a kind smile although she looks tired. My dad has black hair, blue eyes, and is kind of chubby but not fat. After just being born and having whole conversations with gods, I feel tired. I close my eyes and let sleep overtake me. 1 YEAR LATER It¡¯s been a whole year since I¡¯ve been born. Nothing much have really happened since my date of birth. I can talk in broken sentences now. My vocal cords doesn¡¯t seem to be done developing. Although I can talk I never do. I don¡¯t think my mom and dad even know that I can speak. I haven¡¯t leveled up at all and I¡¯m starting to get worried. I¡¯m supposed to be a king by age 10 and I wasted a whole year doing nothing. So far all I can do is crawl which isn¡¯t going to help me conquer an entire kingdom of soul eating monsters! My favorite thing since being born is reading. One day I crawled into my father¡¯s study while he wasn¡¯t in there and there was a book shelf close to the ground. I grabbed a book and started reading. Ever since then I started going to my father¡¯s study a lot more. Because of this me and my father have a strong relationship. On the day I started reading he came into his study a little while later. He found me on the ground with the book. He¡¯s gotten me even more books and put my own bookshelf in my room. Although I have books in my room I still go to my father¡¯s study to read. I don¡¯t even think he knows I can read, he just knows it makes me happy when I have a book. He doesn¡¯t say anything and I don¡¯t say anything.It¡¯s now become a normal thing for me and my father to read together unless he¡¯s working. It turns out that my father is the mayor of a small town. Although he¡¯s the mayor, the taxes are low so the townspeople love him and my mother. Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.I also love my mother just as much. Once I¡¯m done reading with my father I crawl towards my parents room where my mother always is. Once she see¡¯s me she picks me up and we relax. I would like to do more and train but until I can at least walk that¡¯s out of the question. 2 YEARS LATER I¡¯m now 3 years of age and today is my birthday. I started walking a couple months before my 2nd birthday. On my 2nd birthday I decided to start my training. Everyday I run around the whole village at sunrise. I take a short break then I go home and when I started I did 10 pushups and 10 sit ups at day break and repeat before I go to sleep. Even though it was a small amount it still tired me out pretty quickly. It¡¯s been a full year now and now I¡¯ve worked my way up to 100 push ups and 100 sit ups at day break and repeat before bead. My mom and dad caught me training sometime last year and surprisingly took it well. My father now joins me on my training sessions. He¡¯s lost his gut and is now looking better than ever. Everyday when we get back from our run my mom is standing in front of the door with snacks and something to drink. Our running also let us connect with the villagers more. My mother now goes out with the maid and buys groceries with her. She learning to cook and overall she¡¯s doing a good job. Right now there¡¯s a big party at our manor and all of the villagers are here. My family barely talks to other nobles, only when necessary. Most nobles we¡¯ve met are snobby and rude. They let their power corrupt their mind and they think they''re better than everyone else. I¡¯m on my father¡¯s lap and right now I¡¯m receiving my presents. I still haven¡¯t said a word in my three years but if the present is something I really like I nod my head. I¡¯ve gotten mostly books but I¡¯m not complaining. I¡¯m actually happy about it. After the party ends my dad speaks up. ¡°Son, I know you understand me. I can see the maturity in your eyes. Something kids five times your age don¡¯t have. You are truly a Crow son, and you''ve made us proud. When me and your mother met we were adventures. We traveled the world and met new people, saw great things, and went through great dangers. As per the Crow tradition you will leave us at age ten and become an adventurer.¡± He pulls out a box and opens it. It a dagger. As I look closer I notice that something is pulling into the dagger. I follow it to the source with my eyes and notice there¡¯s nothing there but a dark spot where the light can¡¯t reach in the corner of the room. My eyes open in realization. It¡¯s pulling in the shadows. I look back towards the dagger and there¡¯s a blue screen in front of it.
Learned Skill: Observation - Lvl 1
Let''s you observe something and skill gives you a breif description of the thing your looking at
I use Observe on the dagger.
Crow Family Heirloom: Dagger of Darkness
A dagger that has belonged to the Crow family for generations. It draws in the darkness from your surroundings making the dagger sharper. While holding the dagger in the shadows it makes you near invisible.
¡° I¡¯m not supposed to give this to you until you leave but I trust you. Train with it. From now on we¡¯ll go into the woods everyday to fight monsters. This will level you up and help you on your future adventures.¡± With this I can finally start my real training. I finally open my mouth after three years of silence. ¡°Thank you father.¡± Chapter 2: Monster Fight I¡¯m in the front of the forest with my father. I have my Dagger of Darkness with me with leather armor. My father has a short sword and a normal dagger. I¡¯m excited. I¡¯m finally going to be able to fight real monsters. I check my status.

With my previous training I was able to upgrade my stats naturally. I haven¡¯t used any of my points since birth and every level I gain I get 4 stat points. I¡¯ve been saving it for a day like this.

I evened out my stats a little and upgraded my Dexterity with the rest of my points. Since I have this dagger I will focus on stealth if I can. Every point I have in Intelligence raises my regen .5 per minute. Now I regen 25 mana per minute. Although I don¡¯t have any spells It might be useful in the future. ¡°Are you ready son?¡± ¡°Yes father.¡± I reply. When I said my first words yesterday I decided to stop being so quiet. My mom was so happy that I could actually talk she cried. Was it so weird for my first words to be at 3 years of age? We walk into the forest. The trees cover the sun so it¡¯s dark. I pull out my dagger making me nearly invisible. About 5 minutes into the forest we meet a slime. It¡¯s back seems to be turned to us. I use Observe on the slime.
Slime - Lvl 5 - 10/10HP
Resistant to physical attacks. Although you can still kill them with physical attacks, it''ll take a while.
¡°Son, sneak behind it and continually attack. Do not stop attacking until it¡¯s dead.¡± I began to sneak towards the slime. I end up right behind it without it noticing me. I attack! I slash and it does 5 damage. The slime instantly turns around. It doesn¡¯t have any eyes but there seems to be holes where the eyes should be. It doesn¡¯t go all the way through but there¡¯s small holes there. It lunges at me with its whole body but I easily dodge. I turn back towards my father to see what¡¯s he¡¯s going to but he¡¯s not there. I started to try and look around for him but before I could spot him the slime latches onto my arm. Nothing happens at first but then the pain starts. It agonizing! It feels like it¡¯s melting my arm! Crap, it has acid properties! I start trying to slice at the slime parts that¡¯s not fully connected to my arm. It takes 5 slices for the slime to finally die. The slime instantly falls off. I fall on my ass with a sigh of relief. I look at my arms but there¡¯s no burns or injuries. It doesn¡¯t even hurt anymore. I check my stats.

It took a solid 20 health points. Although it hurt it wasn¡¯t really threatening. I stand back up to look for my father but from deeper into the forest 3 more slimes come come hopping into the distance. Fuck. Before they could do anything I instantly run towards all three of them. Although they hurt they are no threat to my life. I should use this opportunity to gain experience. I¡¯m about a foot away from the middle slime before I throw my dagger straight at him. It goes right between the eyes and the slime instantly falls to the ground. It seems like even slimes have a weak spot. Without a weapon I arrive right in front of slime #2 on the right and kick him. The slime gets sent into a tree but it cost me 5 points of HP. I continue and run past the third slime to pick up my dagger. I run to the kicked slime on the ground and stab my life in between its eyes. It dies instantly. There only one left. I walk towards the slime with my knife in hand. I go for the instant kill that I found.
Level Up ( lvl 9 )
That was my first real monster battle. I want more. I don¡¯t know why but I want more. I start to walk deeper into the forest. I want more. Before I could leave too far from my starting point, something calls to me. I instantly stop walking. I lose control of my body and start to walk back towards the slime graveyard. I notice something new. It was 4 green floating orbs above all of the slimes corpses. I got to one of them. It¡¯s calling to me. It needs me. I reach out to the orb. As soon as I touch the one orb all of them rushes towards my chest.
Obsorb First Soul! This monster will not respawn back into the world! Congrats Death!
Level Up ( lvl 10 )

I feel energy course through my body! I want more! More! More! More! I run further into the forest. I want more. I need more! I meet 3 more slimes on my way but before I notice it, there¡¯s only 3 more orbs to absorb. Chapter 3: Killing Spree I absorb them, I absorb them all!
Level Up ( lvl 14 )
Level Up ( lvl 15 )
Level Up ( lvl 16 )
I continue to run deeper into the forest. I need more. I Need more! I continue running through the forest but I can''t seem to find more slimes. I continue to run until I stumble on a small pack of wolves. 7 to be exact. Fine! If I can¡¯t kill slimes, I¡¯ll kill you instead! I use observe on one of the wolves.
Wolf ( Level 15 50/50 HP )
I don¡¯t even let the fact that there¡¯s 7 level 15 wolves ready to attack faze me. I instantly rush towards one of the wolves. The wolf swipes at me with its claws but I don¡¯t try to dodge. The claws sink into my arm but before it could remove its paw I use my dagger to cut its whole arm off. It takes down a whopping 30HP from me putting me at 270/300. Before I could finish the wolf off, a second wolf jumps onto my back. It doesn¡¯t do any damage but it makes me fall towards the wolf with the missing arm. Before I fully fall on the wolf I plant my dagger in front of me so as I was falling my dagger stabs the wolf in the chest. The wolf dies but now I have a wolf on my back ready to eat me. Before I could do anything the wolf bites me on my shoulder. Dammit! That took 50HP! I try to get him off of me but I¡¯m not strong enough to move him. Fuck! I can feel its teeth going deeper into my shoulder. Another 20HP gone! I¡¯m still 3, my body is still small. At this rate its literally going to take a chunk out of me! From all of my leveling I have 28 stat points which I put all into strength now making my strength 43. I hurriedly push of the ground with the wolf still connected to my shoulder. I stab my dagger through its head killing it instantly. 2 out of 7 down and I only have 200/300HP left. The rest of the wolves decided to stop watching and started stalking towards me. If I¡¯m going to live through this, I need to be stronger. I absorb the two orbs.
Level Up ( lvl 17 )
Level Up ( lvl 18 )
I use the 8 stat points towards Dexterity. I¡¯m going to need the dodge speed. My Dex is now 32. Looking at my stats for a quick sec before I got back into fighting the wolves. The fact that I¡¯m not getting attacked is a miracle in itself. They must be hesitating because of the first 2 I killed.

Wait, 300/300HP? Does me absorbing the souls also restore my health? A devious smile crawl upon my lips. They can¡¯t do anything to me. I know that they can¡¯t. They know they can¡¯t. That¡¯s why they haven¡¯t attacked yet. That¡¯s why they''re grouped together trying to look threatening. They¡¯re scared. I can¡¯t help it. I laugh. ¡° Ha..hahah¡­.HAHAHA HAHAHA!!! Come on little pretties don¡¯t be scared¡­..Let''s Dance!¡± I jump towards the small pack instantly slashing at a wolf. It doesn¡¯t kill it but I can tell it¡¯s injured. I feel teeth sink into my leg. I stab at the wolf on my leg killing it. I hurriedly absorb the soul. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
Level Up ( lvl 19 )
I ignore the message and throw my dagger towards the wolf I injured first. Death.
Level Up ( lvl 20 )
I run towards the fallen wolf and grab my dagger. I turn around to intercept the other wolves but they were turned away from me. What are they doing? ¡­..Are they running away!? I run after them. No! No! No! No! No! No! No! NO!!! ¡°YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE!!!¡± I catch up to one of them instantly stabbing my dagger in its head. I hurriedly absorb the soul and continue running.
Level Up ( lvl 21 )
I run up towards the second wolf and kill it the same way absorbing the soul and continuing to run.
Level Up ( lvl 22 )
¡°One little piggy left getting chased by the big bad wolf!¡± I¡¯m to its tail. Its hind legs. Its torso. It head! I raise my dagger high in the air ready to kill. I bring it down.
Level Up ( lvl 23 )
I finally calm down after absorbing the last orb. I can¡¯t believe what had just happened. It¡¯s only my first day hunting and I leveled so much. Now that I think about it how did I catch up to those wolves anyway. My stats are not enough to go that fast. Then I notice all the blue screens following me around. Since I was in a rush I never got to swipe them away. I swipe through most of them before I stumble on something different.
Skill: Speed Demon ( lvl 1 )

Death is cool, calm, and collected and you will be too with this skill!
Title Gained: Psychopath
Through your rampage you have gain this title! Gives you +10 to all stats when in a life and death battle.
Whoa, a new title. Although it is kinda rude it still helps and the Deaths Mind will really help in the future. With all of the screens gone my vision clears. There¡¯s a whole pack of wolves in front of me! There¡¯s like 50 of them all here growling at me! ¡°¡­¡­..Fuck!¡± Chapter 4: Alpha I start instantly feel myself start to panic but I feel my new passive skill, Deaths Mind kick in. I also feel Psychopath activating. I feel my body start to shake. This rising feeling begins to fill my gut. Why am I shaking? What is this feeling? Am I scared? I¡¯m outnumbered 5 to 1 so it would make sense but¡­.It doesn¡¯t feel like fear. I feel ready to jump in. Ready to fight. Ready to Dance. A realization hits me. It¡¯s excitement! Knowing that they outnumbered me, knowing that we could start Dancing any second, it¡¯s exciting! ¡°HAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHA! More little piggies for the big bad wolf to eat! So the little piggies group together to look intimidating but all they do is bring the big bad wolf a buffet!¡± The wolves start to shiver. Why? Are they planning on running away!? I won¡¯t let them. Before I could do anything though the wolves start moving. They weren¡¯t running away but they were getting into two rows making way for something. A wolf that¡¯s two times the size of the other wolves. I use observe on the wolf.
Alpha Wolf ( Lvl 25 150/150HP )
The leader of a pack . Only able to fight it if lower wolves deem you worthy. Killing this wolf makes you the new Alpha making the lower wolves your followers.
After reading the message I instantly run towards the Alpha. Killing this wolf would help me immensely towards my goal of conquering the Doomed Souls. While running I split my 20 stat points in half. 10 in Strength and 10 in Dexterity. I run up to the wolf and try to stab it in the head. No matter how much HP this Alpha has, it¡¯s technically not a monster. A headshot should instantly kill it. Before my dagger connects the Alpha bites down on my dagger and jerks its head up holding me up in the air. ¡°Fu-¡± I get slammed down before I could even finish. 30 damage. I get up as fast as I can. I don¡¯t want a situation like last time. If that happened again I could really die. It tries to slash at me with its claws but I jump back to dodge but it still knicks me. 5 damage. Fuck! 265/300HP already. I activate Speed Demon. 240/260 mana. This time the wolf couldn¡¯t react in time slashing the wolf across the right eye and before it could react I punch the wolf in the face sending it back about 3 feet. I look at its health.
Alpha Wolf ( Lvl 25 125/150HP )
The leader of a pack . Only able to fight it if lower wolves deem you worthy. Killing this wolf makes you the new Alpha making the lower wolves your followers.
Damn, that¡¯s not enough damage! This just seems to make the Alpha angry as he runs to me and slams his paw to my chest sending me flying 10 feet back. Fuck! Another 20 damage. I have to even it out but I¡¯m going to lose face to face. I jump in a tree and start to jump around to other trees, never staying in one spot too long. I finally stop now that I¡¯m sure it lost me. I¡¯m using my Dagger of Darkness so now that it lost me it¡¯ll be hard for it to spot me again. I see the wolf sniffing around trying to spot me but before it could I jump down from my tree and stab in its side. It slashes at me but before it could connect I¡¯m already up in another tree. Some might think it¡¯s unfair but Death Isn¡¯t Fair. I want to make this wolf suffer! This is the lowest my health has ever been and this wolf is going to pay for it. I look at it¡¯s health.
Alpha Wolf ( Lvl 25 105/150HP )
The leader of a pack . Only able to fight it if lower wolves deem you worthy. Killing this wolf makes you the new Alpha making the lower wolves your followers.
I can¡¯t help but smile. I jump down from another tree and stab the Alpha in its side again. I repeat this process again and again and again and again until it¡¯s barely standing. I check the Alphas health again. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!
Alpha Wolf ( Lvl 25 15/150HP )
The leader of a pack . Only able to fight it if lower wolves deem you worthy. Killing this wolf makes you the new Alpha making the lower wolves your followers.
I jump down from the tree I¡¯m about 10 feet away from the Alpha. The other wolves are sitting around watching. They don¡¯t seem to care that they¡¯re Alpha is about to die. They¡¯re watching me. Waiting for me to finish the Alpha off. I start walking towards the Alpha and I could see it shaking. I right in front of it. I raise my dagger to finish it off the wolf bows its head. What¡¯s it doing? Whatever. I raise my hand again but before I could finish off for the second time, I stop. ¡°I give up my title to you my Master.¡±

Would you like you pack to share their Exp with you? ( Option Changeable )
Y/N
I instantly click yes. This could raise my leveling greatly! Another box pops up.
Would you like to share your Exp with your pack? ( Option Changeable )
Y/N
I click yes again. I realized that I don¡¯t rely on Exp, I rely on souls. ¡°Hey guys, it¡¯s been a really long day. I¡¯m going to go home but meet me here sometime tomorrow. ¡° I start to walk home but I notice one wolf following me. The former Alpha. I sigh. ¡°I said I¡¯ll be back tomorrow.¡± ¡°I stay with Master.¡± Now that I¡¯m not in the heat of battle, I notice that the Alpha was female! I did not expect that. ¡°Well since you''re here, can I ride you?¡± ¡°M-master! Here, right now?! I mean if you want to but isn¡¯t it too soon?¡± Great...a perverted Alpha. ¡° NO! I mean can I ride on your back or are you still too injured?¡± ¡°Oh¡­.yea, sure. I mean it''s fine. Us werewolves have incredible healing factors.¡± Somehow I could tell she was blushing. Wait....did she just say werewolf?.....Naw I climb on top of her¡­..pervert. I decide to mess with her. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure we do doggy style later though.¡± I say with a straight face. ¡°M-master!¡± I laugh. ¡°I¡¯m just kidding, jeez.¡± She sighs as I smile. ¡°When I¡¯m older, definitely.¡± ¡°Master!¡± I can¡¯t contain my laughter. I decide to check my stats.

Chapter 5: Legendary Group? We arrive at the house. I walk into the main hall and there I see my mom and dad. When they notice me they instantly jump up and hug me. My mom is crying and although my dad isn¡¯t crying like my mom, I can see the worry in his eyes. ¡°What took you so long?! We were so worried! You were supposed to come back after the first slime!¡± My mom yelled. It¡¯s strange really. I¡¯ve never seen my mom yell before. She pulls back and then notices the wolf I¡¯m on. How she didn¡¯t notice at first before hugging me? I do not know. ¡°Why are you riding a wolf?¡± my Mom asks. ¡°Yea, and it looks bigger than a normal wolf.¡± Dad finally speaks up. ¡°This is the Alpha of the Black Fanged Wolves, Luna.¡± I say. I learned her name on the way here. ¡°Yes honey, but why is it here?¡± ¡°And why did you name it?¡± ¡°Well when I defeated the slime, 3 more showed up. After defeating them I decided to go deeper into the forest. I found a small pack of wolves. There were 7 of them. It was a hard battle but I ended up defeating them also. One of the wolves led me to Luna. Apparently I had earned the right to challenge her for defeating the other wolves, or something like that. So basically if I defeated Luna I would become the new Alpha of the Black Fanged wolves. So me and Luna fought, I won, she gave me the title of Alpha, and now I¡¯m the leader of a pack of 62 wolves.¡± I finally inhale after the long speech. Silence¡­.they don¡¯t say anything. Maybe I did something wro- ¡°WHAT?! You''re only 3! How in the world did you do that!? What level are you on?¡± My Mom screams. ¡°23.¡± My mom looks shocked while my dad whistled in admiration. Now that I think about it, I don¡¯t really know how strong my parents are. I use Observe.
Name:Mary Crow
Class:???
Level:283

Observe Level Up ( lvl 2 )
Do to your constant use of this skill it has leveled up!
Name:Xanxus Crow
Class:???
Level:336
Race:Human
I can¡¯t believe what I¡¯m seeing! How are they that strong. They did say they were adventurers but this is insane! ¡°Do you know what this means Xanxus? This means our son is a genius! This is amazing.¡± ¡°Sure is.¡± After a while of silence I finally regain my tongue. ¡°How in the world are your levels so high!?¡± ¡°Huh, didn¡¯t we tell you we used to be adventurers?¡± My Mom asks. ¡°Yea but those levels are insane!¡± ¡°Are they? Well me and your dad used to be in this legendary group called Genesis. ¡°Genesis?¡± ¡°Yup. We used to be quite the badasses in our day.¡± I sigh. I then notice that Luna is shaking. ¡°Luna, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Y-your parents are part of the legendary group Genesis! That¡¯s what¡¯s wrong. M-master, no wonder you defeated me at such a young age! You''re destined to do great things!¡± I laugh. She has no idea. ¡°Wait, how do you even know of Genesis? Didn''t you spend your whole life in the forest? It would be weird for a wolf to just be walking the streets.¡± ¡°I¡¯m over 300 years old Master. Of course I know about Genesis, I don¡¯t spend all my time with the pack.¡± ¡°Your over 300 years old?! How is that even possible?!¡± ¡°You have to remember Master that I''m not a normal wolf. I¡¯m a werewolf. We live well over 1000 years of age. I can just turn to my human form and walk among the humans. Most of them can¡¯t tell the difference.¡± I don¡¯t even get surprised and yell anymore. I should have expected this. Plus this is my first time yelling so much and my throat is starting to hurt. ¡°So you have a human form?¡± She nods her head. ¡°Can you show me?¡± She nods again. A dark aura starts to emit from her body, covering her whole. I can¡¯t even see her. The darkness fades and there standing isn¡¯t the perverted wolf. She has black hair that goes all the way down to her back. Her eyes are purple which confuses me. Back when I was fighting her in the forest her eyes were blue but when riding her back home I noticed that they were purple. Maybe there the color of my eyes as a sign of obedience? What are the color of my eyes. Aren¡¯t they blue like Mother and Fathers? I just realized that I haven¡¯t really cared about my appearance enough to honestly and thoroughly look at myself. Sure we have mirrors in the manor but I just never cared. I should get back to Luna. I can think about myself later. Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.Back to her, I notice her tail and wolf ears are still there. She¡¯s hot for a 300 and something year old. As she said, if she put on a cloak, no one would know she¡¯s a wolf and if she didn¡¯t they would just think she¡¯s from the beastman kingdom. I look towards her breast. Of course she has no clothes on, why would she? Her breasts are average and her butt is plump. I look towards her face and can see she¡¯s smiling. Her canines are still there. She doesn¡¯t have her claws any more but slash from her nails would leave a huge mark and will hurt like a bitch. She seems happy to know that I¡¯m looking at her. Her tail is swinging rapidly. Although she is hot and naked I don¡¯t feel anything. The beast within me hasn¡¯t awoken yet. ¡°HEY! WHY ARE YOU NAKED!¡± Oh, looks like my mom finally noticed. My dad still...just whistled in admiration. My mom gives him the death glare. Dad instantly shuts up. Well at least I know who''s the man in the family now. ¡°Mom it¡¯s fine, I already seen a woman''s naked body.¡± I state plainly. ¡°FROM WHERE?!¡± ¡°Dad¡¯s library¡­..¡± My mom instantly turns her attention to my father. I take Luna¡¯s hand and run to my room. That will make them busy for a while. I still wanted to ask Luna something but of course before I could ask something Luna¡¯s perverted mode activates. ¡°Oh Master, now that you¡¯ve seen my human form, you''re taking me to your room to ravage me! You naughty Master!¡± ¡°No! That¡¯s not going to happen for a while! I¡¯m only 3!¡± ¡°Oh, but it will happen?¡± ¡°......¡± I do not respond. ¡°Anyway! Why didn¡¯t you use your human form when we were battling Luna?¡± ¡°When we¡¯re in our human form we¡¯re exceptionally weaker than when we are in wolf form. Turning human would have gotten me beaten faster.¡± I sigh. It¡¯s been such a long day and so much has happened. I flop on my bed ready to fall asleep. I feel Luna climb into my bed also but I ignore it. She cuddles onto my small chest and her tail touches my hand. I grab her tail and find it calming to have it in my hands as the darkness called sleep overtakes me. 2 Years Later I¡¯m now 5 years of age. Nothing has really happened since I¡¯ve gotten Luna. I go into the forest everyday to kill monster and level up. My pack has gotten stronger than ever. Luna is now level 46! Since I share most of my Exp with them it makes it easier for them to get stronger. Once I got to level 25 I got a pop up saying that it would take me 3 souls to level up now. I was kinda sad but I got over it. I¡¯m now level 53 and it takes 5 souls for me to now level up. It seems every 25 levels the level up requirement will go up. I haven¡¯t spent any of my points for 2 years. Instead of spending them as soon as I get them, I will spend them if the situation requires it. It just seems more logical. I now have 120 saved up points. Still, normal training upgrades my stats on its own, and although it¡¯s slow, it¡¯s effective. My stats do not level up from just leveling I noticed but I¡¯m not that sad about it.Just giving me stat points is good enough. Right now I¡¯m in my room resting. It¡¯s Saturday, my one off day. I¡¯m in my bed with Luna by my side laying right next to me. I have to be careful with Luna. Every full moon she goes in heat and tries to attack me. I literally have to knock her out on full moons. Something about instinct to mate with the strong. Tonight isn¡¯t a full moon but I try to be careful anyway. I¡¯m on the verge of sleep with Luna¡¯s tail in my hand when I get a pop up.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ENEMY WOLF PACK IN YOUR TERRITORY!
Let them take territory? Y/N
¡°Luna! Get up!¡± The hell I am going to give up my territory! I press no. I¡¯ll kill them for even trying! After Luna turned wolf form we left the manor. She decided while we¡¯re outside the forest she would stay in her human form. Me and Luna run into the forest. Luna sniffs out our pack. ¡°Master, there¡¯s another huge pack of wolves really close to ours! We have to hurry!¡± ` We finally spot our pack having a stare off with a white wolf pack. Me and Luna run in front of our pack and stare down the white wolf pack. There¡¯s one wolf larger than the others. It¡¯s a little larger than Luna. That must be the Alpha. ¡°Solar!¡± Luna growls. ¡°Do you know that wolf Luna?¡± ¡°Yea, he¡¯s my brother.¡± ¡°WHAT?!¡± PLEASE! HELLO GUYS, ITS CROW! IM HERE TO BEG YOU TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER AGAIN! IM BEGGING YOU MY FANS AND READERS.! IVE EDITED IT SO MUCH IT IS NOW MY LONGEST CHAPTER IN MY STORY. THERES SO MUCH INFO IN THAT CHAPTER THAT IF YOU DONT READ IT YOU WONT UNDERDSTAND ANYTHING!

PLEASE CHECK OUT CHAPTER 5 AGAIN ALSO PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASE REVEIW IT WOULD HELP MOTIVATE ME A LOT Chapter 6: Brother? ¡°I¡¯ve known you for two years Luna! How could you not have told me that you have a brother?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve sorry Master but it was never needed information until now.¡± I frown at first but I get over it. ¡°What can you tell me about him?¡± At the question Luna smirked. ¡°Back before I met you he was stronger than me but now, I could take him on no problem.¡± I use observe on the now named Alpha, Solar and Luna to compare. What¡¯s with these names? Jeez, Luna¡­.Solar? What¡¯s next, Eclipse?
Alpha Wolf Luna ( Lvl 42 590/590HP )
This is one of your followers.
Alpha Wolf Solar ( Lvl 37 520/520HP )
The leader of a pack . Only able to fight it if lower wolves deem you worthy. Killing this wolf makes you the new Alpha making the lower wolves your followers. Since you already have a pack, killing this Alpha lets you gain this Alpha territory.
Hm, It seems that Luna can handle this. I don¡¯t have to intervene. I¡¯m actually glad. I was planning on going to sleep before this and I¡¯m insanely sleepy. The adrenaline rush of someone trying to attack my territory ran out. I sighed. Before I went with my desire to just kill him I decided to try the diplomatic approach. ¡°Hello, I am the leader of the Black Fanged Wolves. I understand that you are the brother of my Alpha so I would rather not have to resort to violence. Would you please tell me what you want so we could go on our way.¡± ¡°Hello, I am Solar, leader of the White Fanged Wolves. I know what you''re thinking about the names but me and my dear sister are not that creative. I¡¯m just here to say hello to my sis. Acting like I¡¯m conquering her territory usually brings her to me pretty fast.¡± he chuckles to himself. Probably remembering some funny times tricking his sister. Suddenly his face hardened. It seems he¡¯s getting down to business. ¡°So, you took over my sisters pack did you? She¡¯s calling you master also. Her eyes changed color, showing full obedience. Even with all this knowledge I¡¯m still having a hard time holding myself back from trying to bite into your neck and watch you struggle as the light in your eyes slowly dim until ultimately you stop moving and that light of life is gone leaving nothing but a soulless empty husk!¡± he starts to growl showing his fangs. ¡°Brother! It¡¯s not like that! I-¡± ¡°Shut up sister! You''re not in the right mind!¡± ¡°Hey man! Looks it¡¯s not like that! She can leave anytime she wants! Seriously though dude, you are her brother. I understand you''re worried. This random guy is now the leader of your sisters pack and the whole kinky ¡°master¡± thing is not helping the situation. Trust me, I¡¯ve tried to convince her to call me my name but she insists. Brother or not you know that your sister is a pervert, right?¡± He growled at that but reluctantly nodded. ¡°All the more reason for me to kill you and take back my sister!¡± he growled¡­again. ¡°Dude! Look at me! I¡¯m 5 years old! Even if I wanted to I couldn¡¯t do anything.¡± You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.¡°True.¡± Luna added in sadly with a sigh. Solar glared at her. ¡°Yes, it seems the beast within hasn¡¯t awoken yet.¡± he says with a smirk and for some reason this action ticks me off. ¡°Just to be safe I will stay with my sister.¡± ¡°Hey, you and your pack can¡¯t stay in my territory more than a week! You are my Alpha''s sister so you''re lucky that I¡¯m even giving you a week!¡± This guy just randomly shows up and decided to do what he wants in someone else''s territory? Yea, not happening! ¡°Tch, fine. I give up my title to you my Master.¡±
Gained Title: Double Alpha
The Alpha has given you it''s role as the leader of the White Fanged Wolves. You are now leader of the pack and this title allows you to talk and understand wolves. Now being the Alpha, you get all of the White Fanged Wolves Territory. You will now get a notice if enemy wolf packs come into your territory.
Would you like you pack to share their Exp with you? ( Option Changeable )
Y/N
Would you like to share your Exp with your pack? ( Option Changeable )
Y/N
¡°What¡­¡± I go through the motions choosing no for the first option and yes for the second. ¡°I can¡¯t just leave my sister with you. If you are taking advantage of my sister, me and my pack will attack at the same time and even with your strength, we will kill you. I nodded. ¡°That¡¯s fair.¡± I look into his eyes. There still blue. Not complete obedience. I have to be careful about this. In start to walk home. Luna follows me and so does Solar. I don¡¯t say anything about it. As I¡¯m walking, I check my my stats.

Hm, an extra 75 wolves plus a new general. This is very good for my future adjective. We arrive at my manor. Can¡¯t wait to show my parents my new general tomorrow but for now, I¡¯m too sleepy. SUP GUYS IT ME! THATS RIGHT IM BACK! iM HERE TO BEG YOU GUYS TO REVEIW! iT REALLY MOTIVATES ME! i REALLY REALLY WANT THOSE REVIEWS! PLEASE!!!! Chapter 7: New Enemy Me, Luna, and Solar walk to my room. I feel incredibly tired. As we arrive in my room, Luna turns back into her human form. Solar gasps. Oh no, he¡¯s going to cause problems again. ¡°How can you trust this human enough to show your humanoid form!?¡± I sigh. I¡¯m really too tired to deal with this. I flop onto my bed and Luna gets in. I grab her tail and the darkness was finally overtaking me. Well it was, until loudmouth started talking, again. ¡°What is going on here!? You said that you weren¡¯t doing anything with my sister but I come all the way here and this happens?!¡± he yells. I start to get a headache. At the moment, I¡¯m seriously considering killing him. On one hand, I get some peace and quiet. On the other hand, I lose a general. Maybe killing him will be worth it but I¡¯m pretty sure Lluna won¡¯t want me to kill her little brother. ¡°This is unacceptable!¡± Oh my gods, is he still talking? I seriously want to kill him. I¡¯ve literally never wanted to kill something so much in my small life. I sigh as I have to accept my fate. Losing a general would place me further away from my goal of conquering the Doomed Souls. I do my best to just tune him out. With Luna¡¯s tail in my hand I start to doze off again despite of the constant blabbering of my new general, Solar. NEXT DAY ¡°You got another one?!¡± my Mom screams. I sigh. Man, I¡¯ve been sighing a lot lately. ¡°I swear if this wolf turns into another naked girl then we¡¯re going to have problems young man!¡± she says. My dad again didn¡¯t really say anything about it. I don¡¯t think he hates another naked beautiful girl walking around. Although my mom had to have Luna¡¯s clothes custom made because of the tail and ears, she rarely wears them. She still walks around the manor naked sometimes. ¡°Relax mom, this werewolf is a male. This is also Luna¡¯s brother, Solar.¡± I say to defend myself. My mom looks happier but still sceptical while dad seems a little disappointed. I laugh at the reaction in my head of my parents. Although they can be a pain sometimes, they really care about me. I really love them. ¡°C¡¯mon dad, it¡¯s time for training.¡± I say, trying to escape from my mother¡¯s constant questions and yelling. Dad gets serious as he nods. Whenever I mention training he get serious and losses all playfulness until training is over. ¡°Luna, Solar, you ready?¡± ¡°Yes Master.¡± Luna says while Solar just nods his head with a growl. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. 3 YEARS LATER I¡¯m now 8 years old and I¡¯m starting to get paranoid. I¡¯m now level 81 and it takes me 7 kills for just one level up. Luna and Solar are both level 65. It seems that there leveling is slowing down. Probably because their to high of level for any of the monsters in my woods. Unlike me, they rely on exp. RIght now I¡¯m running through the woods with Luna and Solar and our pack right behind us. If somehow a monster escapes our carnage, the pack tracks them down and finishes them off. We arrive at a clearing in the woods. I stop knowing that some of the pack needs rest. I check my stats.

I¡¯m getting stronger. Wait, in the middle, there¡¯s something there. It has it¡¯s back turned to us. As I continue to look at it, a shiver runs through my spine. What is that?! It¡¯s pitch black and it¡¯s skinny and malnourished looking. It has pointed ears like a goblin and its spine seems to be deformed and it¡¯s hunched over. I can feel my Psychopath perk activating. This must be serious. That perk hasn¡¯t activated since I fought with Luna and that was years ago. Nothing in the forest is supposed to even be close to my level but this one thing is activating my perk. The thing turns around, facing us. It doesn¡¯t have eyes! I mean, there¡¯s eyes sockets, but there is nothing in them! It also has claws and fangs like my wolves but I can see something purple coming off them. Poison maybe? It just stands there. Like it was watching us. Can it see? I look around to see my pack shivering and backing up. Even Solar and Luna are having a hard time trying to stay next to me. THis thing is trouble, I can feel it. I use observe on it.
Doomed Soul Scout ( Lvl 123 1000/1000HP)
This is a Doomed Soul Scout. It is the weakest of the Doomed Soul food chain.
Chapter 8: Challenger How in the world is a level 123 monster the lowest link in the food chain!? That makes no sense! If the lowest of the food chain is level 123 then I¡¯m fucked. The King must be a total monster! I mean, more of a monster than it already is. It¡¯s just staring at us. Never mind, it¡¯s not staring at us, it¡¯s looking at me! Why is it looking at me?! There are literally more than 100 other living things in this area and it decides that I¡¯m the one it wants to look at! Maybe it knows that I¡¯m the new god. Or maybe it¡¯s just that I¡¯m the highest leveled. Either way, I do not like the way it¡¯s looking at me. It starts walking towards us, wait let me rephrase that sentence, it starts walking towards me. I can see my pack slowly backing up as the Doomed Soul creeps forward. Luna and Solar are trying to stay by my side as my generals and raise more moral but I can see that they¡¯re struggling. I step forward to show that I¡¯m not afraid. If even the leader starts cowering then the pack¡¯s little moral it has will crumble. The Doomed Soul finally arrives in front of me. The D.S ( Doomed Soul ) stands tall. Now not hunched over, it¡¯s taller than me. It¡¯s looking down on me, with it¡¯s soulless eyes, staring. I do not falter. I can¡¯t afford to. I have an army to lead and I will not show them weakness. We stare at each other. ¡°sO, YoU aRe the challenger. mY king has sent me to find YoU.¡± Challenger? What is it talking about? It doesn¡¯t seem to know that I¡¯m the new god but apparently it knows me somehow. ¡°What does your king want?¡± I ask, playing along. ¡°YoU have challenged OuR king for his spot as RUler of the Doomed Souls. hE has sent me to tell YoU that hE Accepts YoUR challenge. In twO fUll rOtations of the Earth around the star, wE will shOw Ourselves.¡± So they¡¯re going to wait until I¡¯m ten anyway. I¡¯m so relieved but I won¡¯t show it yet. I don¡¯t know if we were to battle, even with Luna and Solar, would we win. Although I am relieved that we didn¡¯t have to fight it, I am also kind of dissapointed. Although I don¡¯t know if I would win, I don¡¯t know if I would lose either. I haven¡¯t been able to test my strength against something stronger than me in a long time. The Doomed Soul features started to melt. It shrinks until the D.S melts into the ground. I feel my psychopath perk deactivating. This is the first moment that¡¯s going to start my destiny as Death. This is the first moment and honestly, I wasn¡¯t prepared. Sure, honestly if my whole army attacked, we could have taken it down, but a lot of my army would have died. That is not how a general is supposed to act. I cannot jeopardise half of my army for one monster. The worst part is, that this monster was weak. Compared to the rest of its species, it¡¯s at the bottom of the food chain. I can¡¯t let this happen again. I won¡¯t let this happen again. I turn around to my generals, Luna and Solar. I wasn¡¯t strong enough, my generals weren¡¯t strong enough, we were weak. No, we are weak. Our strongest was weaker than the weakest link. We need to train. We need to grow stronger. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. ¡°Luna...Solar, let¡¯s go.¡± They nod and follow me. The pack follows behind them. We start to walk back towards the manor. On our way we kill literally every monster we come across. Usually we ignore the small ones but we can¡¯t risk being nice anymore. We finally arrive in the village and the rest of the pack stays in the woods while me and my generals walk to our manor. Once we¡¯re there, I speed walk to find my father. My father and mother were world famous adventurers. I can no longer rely on soul farming. I need training and an actual style to fight with. The fact that I even survived this long without a style amazes me. I finally find my father while Luna and Solar transformed and went to go put on clothes. ¡°Father, I need training.¡± I say without pulling any strings. He looks at me surprised. ¡°Well of course I was planning on training you, but do you really need it right now? You are 10x stronger than I was at your age. Maybe you should wait for a little longer.¡± ¡°No! I need the training father. I need some sort of style to train in a style to fight in. You were part of a legendary group in your younger days. I know you have some type of style you trained in. What is it?¡± ¡°Well honestly, I can¡¯t even teach you.¡± he says while scratching the back of his head. ¡°What? Why not?¡± ¡°Well the heir the the Crow family has to be trained by a special group of people. Just like how I was. It¡¯s a two week walk away.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t we get a carriage to drive us?¡± I ask confused. ¡°Nope! We have to walk. You sure you want to do this. Me and your mom weren¡¯t thinking about taking you to them until you''re at least 13.¡± I imagine myself fighting the king of Doomed Souls without training at the age of ten. I shudder at the thought. No way would I survive. ¡°Please father, we need to go as soon as possible.¡± I plead. He sighs at the thought of a two week walk. ¡°Fine. We can head out next week. YOU have to tell your mother though. No way am I willingly stepping on that landmine.¡± he says. ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll tell mom...tomorrow.¡± I say hesitantly as my dad laughs at my hesitation. I walk to my room and I see Luna and Solar sitting on my bed waiting for me. I look them in the eye and stare. How could they have been trembling back there. I needed them to back me up in case a fight broke out, but they were trembling with fear. If we actually started fighting would they even have backed me up? They are my generals and yet they were acting like scared little puppies. I continue to glare at them. ¡°You¡¯re weak.¡± Chapter 9: Temporary Adventure...START! Right now I¡¯m in the forest walking with Luna and Solar. Yesterday night I chewed them both out for being so weak. They are my generals and should not be trembling when they face someone stronger than them. I made that point clear and it will not happen again. They promised me they would get stronger and I¡¯ll make sure of it. I¡¯m planning on taking Luna and Solar with me when I leave for my training. During that time, the rest of the pack will need to hunt everyday to catch up. We¡¯re separated from the rest of the pack searching for some new prey. Over the years of training in that forest, we¡¯ve outgrown it. Sure, the monsters that I don¡¯t take the soul of reform in a week or two but the exp isn¡¯t worth it anymore. We¡¯re now walking towards another town. It¡¯s a neighboring small village called Charles Vill. I know what you''re thinking about the name. ¡°What kind of name for a village is Charles Vil?¡± Well I¡¯m thinking the same thing. Maybe the mayor of the village name is Charles. Leaving the stupid name of the village behind, Luna and Solar are both in their human forms when we finally arrive. I¡¯ve already told mom and dad that I¡¯ll probably be gone for a couple of days for my own personal training. I still haven¡¯t told mom that I was leaving yet. Even the thought of telling her makes me shudder. Currently we¡¯re in front of the village talking with the guard. Apparently there¡¯s been someone raiding the local houses and they¡¯re stepping up security. Before we could take even one step into the village a big buff looking guy stops us. He¡¯s wearing leather armor, has red hair, with freckles on his cheek. Honestly his head is kind of too small for his body and I don''t know why but for some reason a buff ginger with freckles doesn¡¯t look right to begin with. For some reason whenever I imagine a ginger he or she is a skinny person. Maybe it¡¯s just me. Anyway, he has a spear on his back and a grimace on his face as he looks at us. Moving on from the buff ginger, next to him is a female ginger, probably his sister. Unlike her male counterpart, she has a nice smile on her face. She¡¯s wearing standard leather armor with an iron chestplate. Hm, she must be his superior officer. I decide not to cause any problems and smile at the lady. This...seems to cause more problems than I first thought as the ginger-buff-man growls at me. Yup, definitely brother. Although he growls menacingly at me, I seem to enjoy the feeling of pissing him off for some reason. I decide to act like I don¡¯t notice the constant growling and continue to smile. ¡°Hello my lady, can we enter into this village.¡± I ask with my best smile. I may be only be 8 but anyone with any sense could see that I will be a looker when I grow up. With my purple eyes and my raven colored hair, even I can tell that I¡¯m going to be a lady killer in my life. After all, Death is Beautiful. I kiss her hand and smile at the slight blush I see. I then hear two growls instead of one this time. One from behind me and one from in front. I let her hand go and step back before a battle starts with all of my constant teasing. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°W-well first we have to ask you a couple of questions before we can allow you to enter.¡± she said, putting her job ahead of her embarrassment. ¡°Ask away my lady.¡± I say smoothly as I hear and ignore two growls again. ¡°W-well, um, what do you plan on doing once you get inside our village?¡± ¡° I plan on walking around and asking citizens if there are any monsters bothering them. I am an aspiring adventurer you see. I figured that I could train and help out a village while I¡¯m at it. Two birds with one stone.¡± ¡°Well how noble of you. ¡± she says surprised that a kid my age is already starting as an adventurer. ¡°Well it¡¯s nothing much but I do what I can to help. Plus I get something out of it too. It¡¯s really not a big deal.¡± ¡°Well may we inspect your and your parents weapons please?¡± she asks with a smile. I smile back and nod. I take out my dagger from it¡¯s holster and give it to her. Normally I wouldn¡¯t do this but I don¡¯t want to start any problems and she seems like a nice lady. ¡°They¡¯re not my parents, they¡¯re more of my adventure party and they don¡¯t have any weapons.¡± I say, surprising her again. I get how she could get confused though. Although I have I have black hair and Luna has white hair, she does have my purple eyes and although Solar doesn¡¯t have purple eyes yet, he does have black hair. If I told anyone that these are my parents, no one would doubt me. ¡°U-um, well, it doesn¡¯t seem like anything is wrong so here you go.¡± she says, handing me back my dagger. She probably checked if I there was black magic in my weapon. Black magic has so much power that a person who posses it could destroy this whole village with a snap of their fingers. ¡°You may now enter.¡± she says, making a way for us. I start to walk into the village but while walking by, the man is still staring at me. Watching me while continuously growling. This is the start of my one week adventure! YO WHADDUP MA CROWS!!!

I LOVE UR COMMENTS BUT I WANT TO SEE MORE RATINGS! PLEASE!!! ANYWAY, IM DONE HERE. THIS IS CHAPTER 1/3 FOR THIS WEEK. ITS YA BOY SIGNIN OUT. Chapter 10: Goblins? We finally make it to the bustling city! As we¡¯re walking towards the the busiest section of the city, I start to talk to ask the question that¡¯s been on my mind. Something that made sense at first but as I started to think about it more, it made less sense. ¡°Hey Luna, Solar, I¡¯ve been thinking about something. Luna, you said you¡¯re over 300 years old, right?¡± ¡°Y-You still remember that! You can just forget that little bit of information!¡± she yells. ¡°Well, even though I don¡¯t know what age you are Solar, I know you¡¯re probably over 100.¡± I say as he nods. ¡°Well here¡¯s my question. Why were you so weak when I met you. I just noticed but your age doesn''t match your levels.¡± I say. Luna places a hand on my shoulder, stopping our walk. ¡°Well, you see, it¡¯s kind of embarrassing to say but once I got strong enough and my pack got big enough, there was really no need for me to fight, you know? Sure I left the forest sometimes but I couldn¡¯t risk fighting with humans. What if I got overpowered and died? What would my pack do without me?¡± ¡°I, myself, fought a couple of humans, but honestly, not a lot. Like she said though, once our pack was big enough, we didn¡¯t really need to fight.¡± ¡°Then why did you fight me?¡± I ask confused. ¡°Well, I don¡¯t know really. My pack decided that you had the right to fight me. I don¡¯t know why because usually they just gang up on an enemy. I guess...they were ready to replace me.¡± She says, getting slightly depressed. I look at Luna and I see tears in her eyes. I can see how she thinks that, and honestly, it¡¯s probably true. She hasn¡¯t been doing anything for years and has just been sitting there. They probably wanted and a new strong leader who would actually help and participate. I hug Luna. ¡°It¡¯s different now. You''re more active. You participate more. You¡¯re stronger. You are not the lazy alpha you once were, and you have me now.¡± I say as I see a single tear fall. ¡°Thank you Master.¡± she says while hugging me back. I hear and ignore Solars growl as I let her go. ¡°Speaking of the ¡®Master¡¯ thing, why did you give me your full obedience so early. Solar still hasn¡¯t even thought about giving me his full loyalty. That¡¯s why your eye color changed into purple, right? Because you¡¯ve given me your full loyalty. I would think with your age comes arrogance and it would take a lot more than just defeating you to get your obedience.¡± ¡°Well I was tired of being in charge anyway. I lost the spark and became lazy. I gave you my loyalty because I thought you could make us better as a pack...while making me better also.¡± She replies. We leave that conversation, saving it for another time. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.We keep walking until we walk into the market district. We ask the nearest merchant if he¡¯s having any problems with monsters in the area but he says not really. There is a little trouble but it¡¯s only with some goblins. There aren¡¯t really any goblins in my forest, so I¡¯ve never seen one; but I¡¯m sure I¡¯m stronger than one. I decide to keep asking around but everyone doesn¡¯t really have any problems except the goblins. Actually, although the goblins are the only problem, they are a big problem. One merchant had his daughter raped by a goblin one day and within two weeks, she had four goblin kids. I asked him what happened to the kids, but he told me that they weren¡¯t kids, they were monsters, and that he didn¡¯t want to talk about it. I left that merchant quickly. I could see he didn¡¯t like talking about the goblins, and me asking questions about them was starting to make the man angry. I head towards this town¡¯s forest. Most towns have one. It¡¯s like a tradition; so we don¡¯t disconnect with nature. From the reports I¡¯ve gathered, these goblins are a real nuisance. Rape, stealing, killing, and kidnapping. I¡¯ll be doing this village a real favor by taking care of them. Especially since the guards haven¡¯t took care of them yet. It¡¯s probably either because they are too many of them, or they''re stronger than I first thought. Worst case scenario, both. As we finally make it to the forest and start to walk in, I give Luna and Solar their orders. ¡°If these goblins aren¡¯t a higher level than me I want you two to handle them. I don¡¯t care if they are only one level less, I want you to handle it. Understand?¡± I command, trying to make my point about them getting stronger clear. They both nod, with serious expressions on their face. They promised me that they will get stronger, and I¡¯m planning on making them own up to that promise. They will either earn their spot as generals of my army and get stronger, or they will do what all mortals eventually end up doing and Die. WHADDUP GUYS, ITS YA BOY CROW HERE!
