《Rise of the Blood Empress》


 Prologue

    The year is 2233, 95% of the earth is now covered in cityscapes, the other 5% is filled to the brim with biowaste and other hazardious materials. for the past 33 years mankind has been working on expanding to space, yet time and time again they failed, untill finally, three years ago, they succeeded, or more specifically Rose-Corp did.


    THE ANNOUNCEMENT


    Inside a dimly lit studio, there appeared to be to figures sitting in a well lit circle of light, almost like a spotlight, one, a man in his mid thirtieths, the other a woman in her late twenties. The man had long black shaggy hair, and a well braided black beard, blue eyes that seemed to glow in the light, he had a tan complexion and was sporting a clean black suit. The woman on the other hand was quite in contrast to the man, for she had pale hazel eyes, stark white hair, and a pale complexion. Instead of a suti, she wore what seemed to be a filthy lab suit, yet the man nor the woman seemed to be bothered by it.


    The man glanced to the woman, and the woman likewise glanced back, they both seemed to nod to each other, before the man stands up, clearing his throat as if to speak.


    "We would like to thank Hvh news for the ability to speak with the public today" The man says, gesturing to the side as if to indicate someone. "For today, we of Rose-corp have made history!" He exclaims loudly. "I, Campell Rose, and my wife, Jannet Rose, have broken through the wall that is space travel! Where it would take anywhere from years to decades to reach the planets in our system, we can now reach them in seconds! The same can be said for other star systems, and even.." Campell pauses for some seconds before yelling excitedly. "Other Galaxies!"


    At this time, the man sits down, and a video of a ship in space pops up, seconds later, a glow can be seen from the rear of the ship before suddenly, it''s gone! No, not the glow, but the whole damn ship! The video feed cuts off, and as it does, the woman is now standing in the place of the man.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "This device is called the FTL drive, capable of sending vessels through space at speeds Faster than light! This was just a small test, the next we will attempt to send one of our own not only through our system, but also out the milky way!" She says, though with what seems a fair bit of malice, after which she sits down and the program ends.

    First Person View (Lyn Rose)


    I slowly wake from my slumber, feeling a cold hard floor underneath me I begin to think that I had fallen asleep in the kitchen again. I open my eyes, then close them again, I open them again, yep, still looking at a small square METAL room, not my kitchen, not my bedroom, but a bare METAL room, with no doors.


    "What the fuck?" I mutter in confusion. "Where the fuck am I"


    I jump back startled as one of the walls turns into a holo-screen, and the face I see there is my father''s.


    "Dad? Is that you? Where is this? What''s going on?" I ask, my voice turning panicked as he just stares on in silence. Minutes pass by with me rambling on, until he suddenly starts speaking.


    "Child, oh you dear fool Child, Do you not realize the chamber you created? The one for the ALPHA-002 shuttle?" he says in a sad tone. "You silly child, my hand has been forced by both your mother and your siblings, they wanted you dead in a ditch, I however do not wish for that outcome, I still love you" He states, tears flowing freely from his eyes. "Please know that I love you dearly, I''ve left you a gift behind the holo-screen, A gift that I hope serves you well, For I will not escape the wrath of your mother, nor the assassins sent by your brothers, this is goodbye my dear little rose, papa loves you" The holoscreen fades, and the room changes back to normal.


    "DAD! NO! WAI-"


    Suddenly a mechanical male voice interrupts her. "T9892JD922 Sector 4 Set, Entering FTL Now, Please Brace Yourself" It says as a small girl begins to curl up on herself, bracing herself as much as she can.


    "FTL Drive Ready"


    "5"


    "4"


    "3"


    "2"


    "1"


    Then all she felt was darkness.

 Awakening

    ~Without darkness, there is no Light~


    I Awoke slowly, opening my eyes all I can see is darkness, I can barely move. *Where the heck am I?* I question silently, somehow knowing instinctively that I was unable to speak. *Why is it so dark? Why can''t I move?* I think to the endless void, *Or maybe not endless? Is that a light I see?*


    I begin moving towards the light, not by choice mind you, as I feel something pushing me towards it. Seconds tick by as I move closer towards the light. *Where will this lead?* I wondered.


    I didn''t have to wait long as suddenly the push turned into a SHOVE, All I knew then was light, and fuck did it HURT! I hear a baby crying in the backround and it takes several long seconds for it to calm down, it seems to stop as soon as I open my eyes.


    As I open my eyes I witness a strange sight, I am being held by Giants! Huge Fucking Giants! "Who The Fuck Are You?!" I scream at the top of my lungs, or at least I try to, Instead all ll I hear is the crying of a baby. "Will somebody shut that brat up!" I yell, yet again all I hear is more crying, every damn time I try to speak.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Four men and Two woman stand around a grand bed, in which lies a woman, beautiful beyond measure. As she lies there, one can see a gentle smile upon her face.


    "It''s a Girl!" one of the men in the room exclaims. "Go, fetch the lord at once!" Another one of the men in the room bow, dashing out of the room to carry out his task. The rest seem to be guards of a sort, most of them wearing an asortment of metal and furs.


    Not long after the first man had left the room, did he come back, this time in tow with a man that seemed to be in his late thirties, he had long dark red hair and glowing red eyes, he was adorned with blood red plate armor. "This is the Child?" He asks, his eyes glowing even brighter for a moment, and without waiting for an answer runs up to the bed and hugs the woman, who like her smiles gently down upon the little girl. "What will you name her?" He asks, Looking to his wife. "Her name will be lyn, Lyn Lionheart" The woman mutters softly, turning to him, smiling. The man smiles back, looking down to the little girl he speaks. "Welcome to the family, Little Lion".

 Growing up

    <hr>


    Lyn''s POV


    It''s been a few months since I was born, and I feel like I have come to terms with my current situation, my reincarnation. I''m still not sure what happend to my ship, but that is the least of my worries. First and foremost it seems I have been born into a rather primal world set in the middle ages, at first I thought I had traveled back in time, but that was not the case. It was a few months after I was born that I was convinced otherwise.


    I was laying in my crib, bored out of my mind when suddenly I heard a racket outside my room, and me being the infant I was just layed there, I was able to turn my head a bit to look at the doorway. Guess what I saw there? It was a HUGE man, standing in the ruins of what used to be my door! His muscles had muscles, if I could gag I would, instead I stared wide eyed at the.. thing infront of me, and it was a thing mind you, for what man looked like a cross between a bear and a jackal? As the thing entered the room I was able to see it''s features more clearly, the upper half was that of a bear, even the head! While the lower body was that of a Jackal, if said jackal''s legs were twice the size of a mans forearm.


    The other thing I noticed was a sickly sweet scent drifting in from outside the room, and red splotches covering the Thing in front of me, it took me a second before I realized that it was blood! The Thing looked down upon my crib, a sharp toothed grin spreading across it''s face as it approaches me, reaching down to presumably to pick me up, I say Presumably due to the fact of said arm never reaching me, and instead I got bathed in blood as the thing''s arm vanished in a spray of blood, it''s arm landing over my crib.


    Looking behind the Thing, I noticed two glowing crimson eyes, It seems my father heard the sound of fighting and came running, fearing the worst, and upon seeing the Treag in my room (I learned later what it was called) went into a rage fueled frenzy, ripping the Treag limb from limb with his bare hands. After the Treag was taken care of he hurried to my side, and, upon seeing me covered in blood, picked me up and began to emit a crimson glow from his hands which slowly covered my infant form.


    As he was doing this I felt as if something was invading my body, scanning every nook and cranny, It was unpleasant to say the least. But whatever Father did when he made that ''light'' appear seemed to have calmed him down, as he was now looking at me with less worry and more relief then before.


    <hr>


    Father''s POV


    "I care not what it costs! find out how that beast was able to get that close to my baby girl without the wards going off!" I scream at the man before me, letting some of my classes blood lust seep out. "Now begone! or you''ll end up like that fucking beast!" The man before me pales after I speak those words, and rushes out of the room in all due haste.


    I have no clue how it happend, one moment I was busy with the enemy of all rulers (Paper work) the next I hear fighting from the west wing, where little Lyn lay sleeping! Fearing the worst I didn''t even realize that I went through the door to my office, not even bothering to open it. A blood red haze fills my vision as I run down the hallway, the bodies of my house guards and servents ripped apart, strewn across the hall I ran down.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent.

    It''s only been a few seconds since I left my office, as I begin nearing my childs room, I hear struggling from around the corner in front of me, It sounds as if one of the childs guards are still alive and fighting! I round the corner quickly, seeking to aid the brave guard only to find her ripped in twine and the door to Lyn''s room broken inward.

    Lyn''s POV


    It''s been about six years since the whole Treag encounter, and things have mostly calmed down. Since then I have discovered quite a bit about this world, I also learned the local language. This is a quick summary of what I have been able to figure out on my own.


    It seems I am in a fantasy world where magic is as real as the sun in the sky, where monsters roam the land that many of the ''civilized'' races call home, yes I said races as in more then one, you see, there seems to be many races here, orcs, goblins, Giants and Half-breeds, such as Half Dwarf-Giant and Half Elf-Human, there are also the standard races, such as Humans, elves dwarves, gnomes and halflings, and many of these races also have sub-groups within them, such as Dark elves, High Elves, Deep Gnomes, Mountain Dwarf and Hill Dwarf.


    The ''civilized'' races also rely on what most call the ''Voice'', said voice allows the races of the world to combat the monster threat. Speaking of monsters, they also have an intresting system, called the ''evolution'' System, which in a sense could theoreticly allow even the weakest most to become one of the most powerful, Like from a Slime to a King Slime, which is a S class threat.


    I mentioned the King slime as being an S class threat, I''ve learned that you can classify the threat a monster poses by its ranking, or class, most monsters can be ranked from SS and S, all the way down to F class. A example of F class could be a simple wolf, While a Dire Werewolf would be an S class. Each S class can easily take on a group of S rank adventurers


    Due to the monster threat, the races of the land also have classes to help combat monsters, these can range from the most Basic, such as a farmer, the blacksmith or warrior to legendary and rare classes, which often times changes the very appearance of the class owner, Such as the Stone Guardian, which sets your race to a golem.


    Also among the races is the unified Adventures Guild, which employs races ranking from SS and S rank to F rank, While these ranks are similar to the monster ranking, They tend to differ somewhat. An example would be a single S rank adventurer, such people who reach this rank would be able to take down an A class monster by themselves, While a group of S ranks can take down a single S class monster with semi-ease.
