《Saint who defies God》


 Death is the beginning

    Ch.0


    My name is Lidwina Orange, Female, Age 19. People called me prodigy child, well it¡¯s not that they¡¯re wrong since I managed to graduate from school when I was 13 and got my bachelor degree when I was 15, my parents proud of me and I¡¯m thankful to God for this gift and as gratitude towards god I never missed going to church, I always pray before eating and thanked after finished, my parents also devout believer and they are grateful to have me since I¡¯m the only child after their 5 years of marriage.


    When I finished university, a lot of people came to my house and offer me a master scholarship in their university, but since I bored of study I turn them down one after another, my parents always let me decide what I want to do and gave me freedom. Since 15 is considered as minor in my country I can¡¯t find any work and decide to consult with my parents, they tell me maybe I should go and become an actress and hand me a name card from a man they think a talent scout, after thinking things through I decide to try to be an actress, I mean there¡¯s nothing wrong to try something new and beside how hard it is to be an actress.


    After months of training I finally realized that even if you smart doesn¡¯t meant that you can do everything, the time I shows up at their talent agency they said that I can¡¯t act at all, but since I have the look they said that they¡¯ll train me and hand me the contract. Well I¡¯m beautiful after all but hearing them saying that I can¡¯t act make me feel irritated and decide to sign the contract to prove them that I can act. After months of training and practice I finally managed to make progress but they say it¡¯s still not enough, well who cares what they say, I found acting to be challenging and I found joy in it so I continued to train myself.


    Nearly a year passed when I got my first job offer as a side character in some TV serials after the agency took me here and there to do some casting, after hearing the news I feel very happy that all of my training is finally bear a fruit and took the job without hesitation, whether because my acting or my look the director offer me another contract to keep playing as a side character in his show, of course I accept it without second thought, it was after all my first time acting, and somehow one way or another the side character became the second heroine, well it was a TV series, some twist story in here and there won¡¯t change anything as long as they get high rating, so at age 16 I managed to make myself as an actress.


    Three years passed since my first acting career and I successfully make myself as a very well-known actress who has the look and the brain, my face always decorated most of the magazines, thanks to god for my successful career. currently I¡¯m attending a party to celebrate my recently finished movie, well it¡¯s not out in theater yet but considering there¡¯s nothing troublesome happened during the filming the management decide to throw a party to celebrate it, and since I¡¯m the main character in the movies they insist that I have to come, it¡¯s not that I planned to refuse in the first place, I mean who can turn down an invitation for free drinks and foods.


    But after three years of working as an actress I finally found out that the owner of my agency is a boss of very famous mafia, apparently the agency is just a way for them to laundry their dirty money and maybe because I make a lot of money for them they decide keep the agency going and train another actress wannabe, and a lot of things changed when you have money, my parent always ask for money, at first I gave them out of free will because they¡¯re my parent but as the time goes by they start making demand of how much should I gave them, and if they run out they¡¯ll come to my house and ask for more money, well since they are my parent I never refused them, but what I hate is that they start to care about money more than anything, they start missing the Sunday morning prayer, they start gambling and stuff.


    Because of that I decide that tomorrow I will resign from the agency and take a break as an actress for a year, but little did I know that after leaving the party my car will be hit by a truck and I would never reach home.


    Lying in a hospital bed for almost two weeks in a coma I finally woke up and saw nobody near me, I tried to get up from bed, but somehow I can¡¯t feel my legs, I get up with a support from my hands and tried touching my legs, I feel nothing, I touch it again, I still can¡¯t feel anything from my legs, terrified about what happened with me, I scream as loud as I can, hearing my scream a lot of nurses come into my room tried to calm me down and among the nurses is a man with familiar face, it was my driver, he was the one who¡¯s driving me home when the party is over, I know him very well, after a little research I found out that my driver is also a member of the mafia, maybe they sent him to keep an eye on me, seeing him unscratched I stopped the screaming and cursed him in my head.


    Not long after a doctor came into my room, seeing the doctor my driver nod to him and left the room, what the fuck was that nod for. I cursed him in my head and asked the doctor about my condition, even if I know what the doctor would say I still asked him. I knew it, the doctor tells me what exactly I had in mind, the doctor said that after the crash I was in coma for almost two weeks, and he also said that I lost half of my body, he said after the crash some of my nerves is cut and I can¡¯t use my lower part of my body, and worse he also said that it was impossible for me to have a child. After telling everybody to leave I cried in silence and pray to god, maybe this is his test for me, crying in bed I end up falling asleep.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    The next morning I woke up I called the doctor and asked him if there¡¯s a way for me to be able to walk again, he suggested for me to use a prosthetic legs but in doing so means that I will have my legs cut, since I have money I will do anything for at least to be able to walk again and back to acting. After hearing that I woke up from my coma, my parents finally visited me the next day, and after a long chit chat they finally shows the reason they come, and it was for money, they still asked for money even after their daughter become cripple, I shout and cursed at them and drive them out, How the fuck you still asked for money knowing you daughter may not be able to walk again, do you even care for me? Did all you care about is only money?, and surprisingly after hearing my shout my driver came in and escort my parents out.


    The next two days passed without any visitors, it¡¯s strange, why there¡¯s nobody visiting me, since there¡¯s no TV or radio in my room I don¡¯t really know what happened, don¡¯t they know that I¡¯m having accident? Did the TV station miss it or something?. I asked for my phone trying to find news about me, but the nurses said that phone is not allowed in my room because it can damage the equipment and they gave me book instead, what kind of nonsense is that, and my answer come in the next day


    A man and my doctor and my manager came into my room followed by another two man I never seen before, the first man who came into my room is the mafia boss which I have seen in some pictures before, I looked at them as they sat around me with two other still standing near the door. Feeling a little troubled I asked for explanation, without a word my managed pulled out a phone from his pocket and show me something. A funeral, my funeral, it stated clearly in a news that my funeral is ongoing in the video my manager showed me, confused I asked them, what is this? I¡¯m still alive, how come my funeral is on the news?, my managed started to explain things such as that a dead actress will be more famous than a crippled one. Simply put they came here to tell me that I was dead during the crash and asked for my cooperation, well it was more of a threat than asking for cooperation, and it looks like the hospital is owned by the mafia so they relieved me of my charges related to the hospital, and they also offer me a part benefit of every works that sells whether is movie or music I made, without any much choice I agree to their terms, I mean, what can a crippled woman do against a mafia?.


    Months have passed, it turns out that after I die I became more famous, my latest movie as example, they manage to keep selling in theater for almost two months and managed to make a huge amount of profit, it was said that the earning is a hundred folds of the budget to make the movie, and also my music, even if it¡¯s not much they still selling more than when I still alive, so right now you can say that I¡¯m filthy rich, but even if I have all that money I can¡¯t really use them, I mean after agreeing to their condition I can¡¯t leave my house even if can walk again, thanks to the prosthetic leg and whoever made them, and it turns out that the two unknown guys from the hospital will be sent to look after me, so whenever I need to buy something they will do it for me, I feel like I¡¯m being imprisoned, they won¡¯t even allowed me to walk on my own veranda, thinking that I will killed by boredom I buy everything that can entertain me, Computer, Playstation, even VR equipment, but they won¡¯t last long, I pray to god to make things better again.


    Two years have passed, and it appears things stay the same no matter how much I pray, and when I¡¯m searching in internet how to kill your ownself with less pain, a game advertisement get my interest it was a VR online game, thinking that It won¡¯t hurt to try it before suicide I tried this RPG online game named Legend Online, well the advertisement says that whether or not I¡¯m capable of become a legend in this game, but please, I¡¯m already legend, a dead legend, there are many class to choose such as Mage, Swordsman, Acolyte, Thief, Archer, it¡¯s a standard to have this I think, but as soon as I tried playing as Acolyte I never forget it¡¯s sensation, the way the visualization looks real, the sounds, everything is almost perfect, this game is the first VR game that have almost realistic feeling into it, and without a second thought I upgrade my VR equipment to the highest spec to enjoy the game.


    Five years have passed without anymore thought about suicide, this Legend Online makes me feel I have another live in another world, and within these five years I managed to make a name for myself, this game only have one server with a player across the world and I managed to rank up to the top 5 within five years, I managed to secure rank 2 in the whole world as a Battle Maiden, the ultimate form of evolution from priest class, and I¡¯m the only one in the world with this job, most player would stop after they reach Bishop, because the requirement to change into Battle Maiden is the character must be Female, and you have to kill the Abomination alone, the second hardest raid class boss in the game in a form of a huge corrupted cocoon with all of its attack an area attack and you have to kill it alone, I managed to kill it after spending some fortune to get Administration class equipment, well the equipment itself is not dropped or sell by player or monster, you have to buy it with a cash item and you¡¯ll get a random part and there¡¯s also limited time to use it, a single piece of equipment last for an hour, and after that it¡¯s disappeared, because I spent fortune in it I managed to get 10 set of full equipment, and used 5 set when fighting against Abomination with another mythical item such as Magic Scroll, Potion, etc. but the job Battle Maiden is the most strongest class ever, and after changing class into Battle Maiden I can managed to kill Abomination alone without using any Administration equipment and the best part is the skill Contract and Seal, the Contract skill is allow you to borrow strength from an angel for period of time, and the Seal skill is allowed you to summon any demon class monster you have sealed using the skill before, so I spent most of my money in the game, and the reason I¡¯m still ranked two is just because the first ranked person barely leave the city, and in order to take the rank you have to kill the person alone, since you can¡¯t kill a player within the city it becomes a hard task to do. Maybe this is how god answer my prayer, he show me this game and make me feel like I have a second chance.


    But the joy don¡¯t last forever, in the fourth year after ¡®My death¡¯ my movies and music didn¡¯t sell much anymore, after a year without meaningful income the mafia start to cause trouble for me, and someday maybe they decide that waiting for the money to come is impossible they come and tried to rob me, they destroyed everything in my house, they tortured me, they asked me for where my money is and after I said that I don¡¯t have any they start to destroyed and search every inch of my house, too bad I spent all of my money in the game and now it¡¯s gone. Thinking that maybe I¡¯m really broke they start to violate me, they raped me, they shoved their things in me from the front, from the back, they even tried to shove their thing in my mouth, but I won¡¯t let them leave unscratched I bite his things as hard as I can, and as a result it¡¯s almost cut, they beat me again for what I did, and they continued to rape me nonstop for almost a week, even if I paralyzed down there I can still feel the beating from them, and at the fifth day I died in a most humiliating way.


    Lidwina Orange, at the age of 26, I was dead.

 Ch.1 [All is Lost]

    Ch.1


    The sun not yet rise when and I already started to preparing things for when my husband and sons woke, and when the breakfast is ready my husband came out of the bedroom, seeing he¡¯s already up I went to my sons bedroom and wake them up. Five minutes later I served the breakfast on the table and we started eating, despite my husband being a village leader we still eat a simple breakfast, even today breakfast is can be said that it¡¯s less than usual, even if my family is just a village leader in some outskirt border of the holy city of Thymel, usually we eat more than just bread and soup for breakfast and the reason why today we only eat those is because today a tax officer will come and the person they sent is always demand a luxurious meals every time he came.


    Finished with the breakfast both of my sons went to tend to our field outside the village, even if the field not big it¡¯s enough to make a living, and because today is an exception my husband will help me to take care of the house. Today he¡¯ll be in charge of cleaning the house thoroughly and I¡¯ll be making preparation for lunch and preparing the table, even if we don¡¯t like the official we still have keep on his good side because who know, maybe he¡¯ll report to the lord and say that our village is not fully paid the taxes even when we did fully paid the taxes, and because of that the lord will sent his soldier and take one of our youngster to sell it as slave as payment, so in order for us not to spoil his mood we have to do our best to pleased him.


    When the sun is in the highest position and when it¡¯s almost lunch time, the official finally arrived in his drawn horse carriage, both me and my husband come out to greet him, although he¡¯s just an official we still bow a little to salute him, we have to keep his mood after all. As the fat man step down from his carriage we bow a little and greet him.


    ¡°Good afternoon sir Boon.¡±


    ¡°Good afternoon.¡±


    The tax official name is Raboon, and because he¡¯s the one who always collecting tax in our village so my husband greet him in familiar manner. After we greeted him, my husband invited him to have lunch with us, we know, even if we don¡¯t invited him for lunch he¡¯ll come asking for one, in fact long ago when my husband still a farmer the official came one day earlier and the village leader that day didn¡¯t make any preparation, and as a result he return to the city with bad mood and few days later some soldiers come to our village and forcefully take two youngsters from our village and sell them as slaves. So even if it¡¯s just empty words of invitation we still have to ask him in order to not spoil his mood.


    We entered the house and offer him the best seat, well it is the best seat and also the strongest chair we have, I¡¯m afraid that if we let him sit in my or my husband chair, they won¡¯t hold his weight. I mean honestly, how come a man become that fat, it¡¯s just unbelievable. We started to eat, and for his escort, they wait outside of course, even our own sons is still tending to the field outside so how come we allow them to join us, and if we let them join us I¡¯m afraid the amount of food is not enough, even if there¡¯s considerable amount of food in the table right now but I¡¯m sure this fatso will finished all of it and while eating this fatso sometimes steal a glance at my chest, ugh I hate this man, even if you quickly avoid your eyes a woman always know when man stare them with dirty looks. And just like I thought, he finished all of the food, my husband and me only eat a single plate but he managed to eat all of it, now wonder he could get so fat, luckily I left two portion for my sons in the kitchen.


    Finished with the food I started to clean the table while my husband keep him company, ¡®Shit I just washed this yesterday and yet he managed to spill some food on it.¡¯ I cursed him when I see a food stain on the table cloth and right now I have to change it with another one, that¡¯s just adding more works for me to do, after done changing the table cloth I inform my husband that the table is clean and head to do the dishes, my husband prepared the box filled with gold coin, 300 gold coin to be precise, that is the amount the lord demand as taxes for all villages and as the village leader my husband is in charge to collect all those and then hand it to the tax official when they come visit, usually they visited once every three months, but still 100 gold coins for every month is still quite a number considering they never do anything for us, even if there¡¯s monster attacking the village by the time the soldier arrived the monster already gone and they never do anything to catch it, maybe that¡¯s why the village in the outskirt never loaded with gold, even if we do business it still take days to get to the city and not to mention bandits and monsters lurking in the forest.


    Peeking from the kitchen I saw the fatso nodding at my husband, I think he¡¯s satisfied with the number in the box, even if we¡¯re in the outskirt we still know how to calculate things, and even if we don¡¯t attend school in the city our parent usually teach us the necessary, so there¡¯s just no way he can fool my husband. But that would be different story if some of the gold mysteriously disappeared on its way to city, the last time it happened is when he visited earlier and we lost two of our village youngster. Noticing me peeking from the kitchen the fatso said something to my husband, and somehow my husband seems panicking at what he said, I have bad feeling about this. And when I thought they¡¯re done with their business they both stand from the table, but instead heading out for the door both of them come into the kitchen, and after hearing a brief word from my husband that this fatso want to have his way with me I explode in anger to my husband.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    ¡°How can you even allow it you fool, I¡¯m your wife, does being your wife meant nothing to you?¡±


    And during my anger and cursing words I said to my husband the fatso step forward and interrupted.


    ¡°Now, now madam, he¡¯s doing the right thing here, we both of course don¡¯t want the soldiers to take another youngster from this village do we?¡±


    ¡°Especially those who is currently working on the field outside the village, how old are they 14? 15? They sure will make a good working force.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re 10 and 12.¡±


    ¡°Oooh, 10 and 12, I¡¯m sure someone with a sick personality is willing to buy them with high price.¡±


    After hearing his threat I fell silent, my husband keep glaring with anger from his back, I also hate this fatso, and he also added that every village leader before also did this kind of service, as he moved in closer I reflexively grab a kitchen knife and pointed at him, I threaten him if he dare to move closer I¡¯ll stab him.


    ¡°Oh, and once the lord hear the news about what happened here, what would happened then? I¡¯m sure he¡¯s going to send his soldiers to secure all the villagers and sell them as slave, I won¡¯t worry for the men, but as a woman they might sell you as a sex slave, and they¡¯ll force you to serve all kind of people day and night.¡±


    ¡°So which one you prefer? Being a sex slave, or served me for once?¡±


    My hands tremble after hearing what he said, Sex slave? I don¡¯t want to be ended up like that, and no matter how corrupt he is the lord always take his side and never consider what the village would say, not outskirt village at least. After all most of the rebellion started from the outskirt village, out of 15 villages 4 started rebel against the lord, and he captured all of its villagers and sell them as slaves. Looking back at my husband he stared back at me regretful look and told me to lower the knife, without very much option I put the knife back at the table, even if we killed him here there¡¯s several escort soldiers waiting on the outside and if he scream they¡¯ll burst into the house and the story will finally reach the lord ears. With regret I agreed on his demand.


    ¡°What a good woman, may I borrow your room Mr.Turner?¡±


    My husband nodded.


    ¡°Now if you please show me the way Mrs.Turner, oh you might want to stay here because I don¡¯t like to be interrupted.¡±


    He asked me to show the way and tell my husband to stay, I lead him to our room, and when we entered the room he locked the door and pushed me on the bed, his hands start to move around my body as he forcefully kissed me, he put his hand inside my cloth and started to grope my breast while another hand touching my crotch. One by one, he removed my cloth layer after layer until I¡¯m completely naked, he pulled me up into sitting position and asked me to remove his pants and pull out his things.


    ¡°Now served me, lick it clean and then suck it.¡±


    I do what he told me to do, and when he¡¯s satisfied he pushed me back onto the bed and started to put his thing inside me, he moved vigorously despite being a fatso. He fucked me for 30 minutes straight without a break, and when I think it¡¯s over because he¡¯s been lying on the bed for about 5 minutes with his thing being limp, he get up and removed his cloth and fucked me for another 30 minutes, even if I despise and hate him some moans come out of my mouth willingly, I mean my husband never fucked me for one hour straight, and his stamina make lose some of my conscious, I think all those fat is useful in one way or another. After he¡¯s done with me he put his cloth back and said.


    ¡°Look at those silly expression you have right now, your mouth might deny it but your face is telling the truth.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t be satisfied with your husband anymore, I¡¯ll look forward to our next meeting.¡±


    He left the room, leaving me behind naked drenched in sweat and his sperm. I heard him saying thanks to my husband and I hurriedly sit and pull a blanket to cover my body and started to cry, not long after my husband came into the room and hug me, I don¡¯t know why but out of reflex I pushed him away and continued to cry. He asked for forgiveness and say sorry many times but I still ignored him, and for the rest of the day I don¡¯t speak to him at all and that night I sleep without waiting for him.


    At dawn my husband wake me up and tell me to get the children, even if I don¡¯t know the reason I could hear a ruckus from outside so I do as my husband told and wake my sons, we wait at the living room, and several minutes later my husband come back with his body drenched by blood and when I¡¯m about to run to him, he stopped me and tell me.


    ¡°Bandit¡­.. Run¡­ Backdoor.¡±


    After saying those words he fell on the front door, I covered my sons eyes and started to run towards the back, but as we run out through the back a huge man blocking our way, he pulled me away from my sons and shout to his friends.


    ¡°Oi grab the kids, search the house, kill the man but secure the woman and the kids.¡±


    He then knocked me out.


    Morning already came when I open my eyes, sounds of woman screaming ringing in my ears, and after looking around a bit I realized that the bandits managed to gather all the villagers in one place, they gathered all of us in the street and tied both of our hands and legs to each other, I tried to find my kids but no matter how many times I search I can¡¯t find them, in fact I can¡¯t find a single man among us, there¡¯s only woman out here, I tried asking someone next to me.


    ¡°Where are the kids?¡±


    ¡°They put them in the carriage and left just now. The bandits are planning to sell them as slaves.¡±


    Shocked after knowing what happened to my kids, tears started to drop from my eyes, I cried loudly when I think both of my sons will be sell as slaves after what I did yesterday to save them from being a slave, if I know what would happened I will kill that fatso and run with all my life and take my children with me. Maybe because of the woman screams or because they done with their business the bandits return with creepy smile on their faces, there¡¯s around 20 of them and they discussed among themselves about which one they will take first, some would say ¡®I¡¯m going for her.¡¯ and some say ¡®I wonder what face would she make when I rape her.¡¯ And other ¡®I want to hear her moans.¡¯ Not long after a man on a horse approaches, this must be their leader. I stopped my cries when he get off of his horse and thinks ¡®This is it, they¡¯re going to rape us now.¡¯


    ¡°Good works for tonight man, we managed to get plenty of money after selling those brats and some virgins to the slave dealer, and as a reward for your hard work you may pick your woman and use them as you see fit, and because this time works ended in great success thanks to Mr.Lawney he can pick his choice first.¡±


    ¡°Now if you please Mr.Lawney.¡±


    Lawney he¡¯s a widow with no kid after his wife killed by a rampaged monster years ago, I didn¡¯t think that he will betrayed his own village, and I don¡¯t think I¡¯m the only one surprised because of his betrayal as I can see most of the people faces around me fill with shock. Me? He pointed at me? You want me to be your sex slave? I tried to move away but because we tied to each other people next to me kind of fell on me when I tried to move.


    ¡°Hahaha you can¡¯t run madam, go get your prize Mr.Lawney.¡±


    He walked towards me, but not even halfway something heavy fall on him and caused a small cloud of dust in the surrounding.


    ¡°Ouch, that¡¯s hurt.¡±

 Ch.2 [The Bad, The Good, and The Fool]

    Ch.2


    Loading¡­¡­.. Loading¡­¡­. Loading¡­¡­


    Loading? Why everything is dark, why can¡¯t I open my eyes, I tried many times to open my own eyes but everything is still dark and there¡¯s only that loading thing in front of me. Wait, if I can see that loading thing it means that my eyes are open right? But why everything is dark, am I dreaming?


    Synchronizing¡­¡­ Synchronizing¡­¡­


    When I think I was dreaming, the Loading screen now turns into synchronizing, although this things confused me it seems very familiar to me, I remembered now, I used to see this when I play Legend Online, this is the first thing I see when I played it, I¡¯m going to miss this game, after what happened I¡¯m sure it won¡¯t be possible to play it again. But what exactly happened till I can¡¯t play anymore, I tried to remember about what really happened to me, but why did I think I can¡¯t play it in the first place, am I not playing it right now?


    Transferring Data¡­¡­ Transferring¡­¡­.


    Transfer data? There¡¯s no transferring when I played it before, why would there¡¯s transferring now, what do they need to transfer?, I decide to leave that for later and right now I tried to check my inventory while everything is still dark, it¡¯s more like pitch black than dark, so in order to ensure that I¡¯m not going blind I tried to do something,  and yup my inventory is shows up, there¡¯s tons of list of item in there and when I tried to take out a potion I feel it in my hands but somehow I can¡¯t see it, but no matter how close I bring my hands to my face everything still black. Am I really going blind? But I can see those transferring thing and I can also see the inventory list just fine.


    Synchronized. Transferred.


    And when those screen disappeared all of sudden, all of the darkness surround me suddenly turns into bright, it¡¯s so bright, it¡¯s a bright blue sky, because of the scenery that seems so real it astonished me and I lost in my thought for a moment, and when I came to my senses I confirmed one last thing as I looked at my hands still holding the Red Potion and hug it out of joy.


    ¡°I can see, I can see, I¡¯m not blind.¡±


    Something¡¯s wrong, I feel something strange from my back, I turn around and found that I right now am falling from the sky, no wonder feel very light. I don¡¯t how far I am from the ground but as I can see it it¡¯s very far, I can only some black spot from up here. Panicked I started to scream as loud as possible, after screaming for two minutes or so my throat started to hurt and remembered something.


    ¡°[Contract] Michael, lend me your wings.¡±


    I use one of the Battle Maiden exclusive skills, and out of nowhere a huge pair of faded goldish wing appeared on my back. [Contract] is one of Battle Maiden exclusive skills which allow you to borrow part of an angel power for a brief times, even if it¡¯s only allowed you to borrow one power at a time this skill is very useful, and as a rank 2 player in the whole world a lot of player used to waiting for me outside the city just to kill and take my rank, and thanks to this skill I just need to fly over the city wall without doing troublesome things and because of this many player complaint on the net that Battle Maiden job is a cheat, well considering the requirement to change into Battle Maiden is difficult as hell it¡¯s reasonable if the result is overpowered. People also pestering me how to kill Abomination alone, of course I didn¡¯t tell them, I mean I like how it sounds to be the one and only Battle Maiden.


    Despite having huge wings on my back the speed of falling is not slowing down, in fact I fall faster and faster, it tried flapping my wings but somehow it¡¯s not move as I wanted it to and it becomes ridiculously hard just to fly, I wonder what happened here, I could fly easily when I used it to get away from players, so how come it¡¯s become so hard just to float in the air. After making fruitless effort I finally gave up and come to terms that I would probably die when I hit the ground, well if that happen I just need to use Tithonus Locket, it¡¯s an item that allow a player to revive on the spot where they die instead returning to the city, and since I have plenty of those I don¡¯t mind using it, I also wonder how did I end up in the sky, is it a bug or something.


    After around five minutes of falling I can finally see what¡¯s on the ground, there¡¯s a lot of people gather around in the same place, I wonder is there some kind of events going on right now. Shit someone just suddenly moved into the place where I¡¯m about to land, hoping for the best result I closed my eyes. I hit the man, I crashed into him as I land, is he okay? why am I not dead? I should be dead after falling from such height, but it sure is painful.


    ¡°Ouch, that¡¯s hurt.¡±


    Pain? How can I feel pain when I¡¯m just playing the game? Is this a new feature?


    Somehow while I wonder about the pain, and suddenly another pain surged from my head, suddenly I feel like my head is about to explode it was so painful, the pain brought me on my knees, I tried to scream but nothing came out of mouth. Maybe people started to think that I¡¯m a crazy person since I¡¯m currently standing on my knees while holding my head with my mouth open, I can feel their gazes focused on me. The pain suddenly gone, after all the pain gone I started to remember things that happened to me, the violence, the beating, the raping, I remembered all the things happened before I die, I died in shameful way after I beg and pleaded to god to save me, and in the end god just left me and let me die a shameful death, I don¡¯t think that there¡¯s any god at all, and if they do exist I¡¯ll kill them if they ever appeared before me.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    ¡°An angel?¡±


    ¡°Angel.¡±


    ¡°God has saved us, he sent his angel to save us.¡±


    ¡°Thank god.¡±


    It¡¯s warm, when I looked at my body covered with blood and man guts I realized that this was no longer a game, the warm feeling is real, the smells of blood is real. I snort when I heard the women screams in joy, thanking god for sending angel to save them, well I still have my wings out so no wonder they think maybe I¡¯m an angel, let¡¯s play with them a little bit. A vicious smile appeared when I think about what will happened. Tied up women and a lot of man with weapons, anyone can guest what actually happened here. While the men still in shock I use one of the crowd control skill.


    ¡°[Divine Bind]¡±


    Out of nowhere a glittering golden chain appeared and bind both hands of every men and stretch them out as if they¡¯re being crucified. It was an ultimate binding skill which bind everything I see, and since all of the men is on my sight they¡¯re all bind by the skill. Caught by surprise they struggle to free themselves from the glittering golden chain that binds them. Another cheerful shout came from my back, it¡¯s coming from the women back there, another joy build up in my heart as I walked towards the men with a smile across my face.


    ¡°[Contract] Cancel.¡±


    I cancelled my contract skill and huge wings on my back started to disappear leaving a golden trace for a moment until it completely gone.


    ¡°Good day gentlemen, what are you all doing here?¡±


    ¡°Shut up you slut, let me off of this damned chain.¡±


    When I speak all of them stop struggling and looked at towards me except for one man who¡¯s still struggling and call me a slut, I walked to him and asked nicely.


    ¡°If you please be so kind to tell me what is your name?¡±


    *Puh


    Instead of an answer the man is spitting on my face.


    ¡°[Chronos]¡±


    I used another binding skill on him, well it¡¯s more like a paralyzing skill than binding, since it¡¯s stopped time on a single target and accumulated the damage taken by the target and unleashed it when the skill is canceled and the skill will only be canceled when the user is out of SP or if the user cast it again on the same target. After I cast the skill I draw my sword and cut both of his legs into small pieces, when I first dip my sword into his leg, his expression changed into one who¡¯s in pain, well I guest since it¡¯s real life even if the time is stopped you can still feel the pain, that way is more useful for me, I can use this skill as torturing method then. At first I was only thinking about how much SP I have since I can¡¯t see my HP and SP bar anymore, and since [Chronos] is the only skill which used SP overtime I tried to figured out how long I able to maintain it, but after slicing the men legs into small pieces I think I can still hold [Chronos] for much longer, but since it would be a waste of time I decide to cancel it. When the [Chronos] effect wears off, the insulting man let out a terrifying scream while his pieces of legs dropped on the ground. Seeing their friend in such state all of the bandits turn pale, I walked away from him, leaving him hanging legless, all of the eyes watched in silence while the man is screaming and struggling for a couple minutes until he died after losing so much blood.


    ¡°Now, what did you gentleman doing here?¡±


    ¡°We¡­.. We were raiding this village.¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­.¡±


    One of them answered with fearful expression. And I answered with pure smile on my face.


    ¡°Take it easy, I¡¯m not going to hurt you.¡±


    Despite my good acting skill they still didn¡¯t believe me, well at least not while I¡¯m still drenched with blood, instead of being relaxed they grew more fearful.


    ¡°That¡¯s what were you doing.¡±


    ¡°But what will you do after tying up all those women?¡±


    ¡°¡­.¡±


    After a long silence I decide to speak, well of course no one going to admit that they wanted to rape people.


    ¡°Let me guest then, first you¡¯re going to rape them, and then you¡¯re going to kill them right?¡±


    ¡°N-No¡­.. We never meant to kill them.¡±


    Another man spoke, denying one thing while agreeing to another.


    ¡°So you are indeed planning to rape them.¡±


    ¡°¡­.¡±


    ¡°Come on, speak up, I told you that I¡¯m not going to hurt you.¡±


    With another fake smile I tried to ease them, and with a small voice he answered.


    ¡°Y-Yes.¡±


    A fearful expression grew more tensed with every step I take as I walked towards them, and when I close enough I whispered loud enough for all of them to hear but quite enough so that it won¡¯t reach the women.


    ¡°Now gentlemen, I will offer you two choices.¡±


    ¡°First is that you will follow me and do whatever I told you to do, even if I told you to kill yourself you have to do it.¡±


    ¡°¡­.¡±


    All of them fell silent as if they don¡¯t believe what they just heard, what kind of idiot will kill themselves just by being ordered to do so.


    ¡°Take it easy, I won¡¯t just tell you to die without any reason. I just want your absolute loyalty and if you do give me a good result I will gave you plentiful gifts.¡±


    I showed them several gold coins which I take from my inventory, even if this is different world, golds are still gold. After showing them the gold, their eyes changed and filled with greed so I put them the gold back to my inventory and give them the second choice.


    ¡°Well, if you refused the first choice, its fine, second choice is easier after all.¡±


    ¡°Second choice is you will die.¡±


    ¡°Now decide, nod your head if you want the first choice, shake your head if you prefer the second choice.¡±


    Without very much choice all 18 of them nod their head.


    ¡°And for your first gifts for serving me¡­.¡±


    Finished dealing with the bandits I walked back towards the group of women, thinking that my appearance is a little bit frightening with all the bloods over my body I cast [Aqua Benedicta] on myself, well it¡¯s actually a skill to kill an undead with holy water, but since it¡¯s a water which means it¡¯s also useful for washing the bloods away from my body. A small gentle water spout enveloping my body and washed away all of the blood from every corner of my body and my armor, and when it¡¯s done I feel refreshed and very clean. I resumed walking towards the women with my pure smile on my face, after arrived in front of them I kneel to match our height since they¡¯re all on sitting position, some of them started to cry out of joy, while some thanked me over and over again, and some thanked the god for their blessings. Still keeping my pure smile I talked to them.


    ¡°Do you think god exist? Do you think he will help you? Let me tell you one thing, god is don¡¯t exist. And for a lesson I will let you be a witness for the absence of god.¡±


    ¡°[Divine Bind] Cancel.¡±


    I canceled my binding skill while looking at the confused faces before me. As soon as the binding skill canceled the bandits starts running towards the women and started to rape the women. I walked away as I watch the bandits raping the women vigorously, before coming to the woman side I already cast [Mass Blessing] on the bandits, they should have more stamina now, after all [Mass Blessing] is a skill to boost all status for some time. The air which filled with silence before is now filled with helpless screams and moans of women. With this they should realize that god does not exist, and if they do still believe in god it won¡¯t be for long. I walked towards the legless corpse and use one of my skills when I¡¯m still a on my priest job.


    ¡°[Resurrection]¡±

 Ch.3 [Trick or Threat]

    Ch.3


    The legless corpse wriggling about when I cast [Resurrection] skill on him, he moved violently with his mouth gasping out for fresh air just like a goldfish, but maybe because he lost too much blood or maybe because the [Resurrection] is not healing his wounds the man return to his original state, a corpse. Amused by his reaction I cast [Resurrection] skill over and over again, and suddenly he spoke in an eerie voice, but because of the non-stopping women screams and moan I can barely heard his voice.


    ¡°P¡­.P-Please¡­¡­. S-Stop¡­.¡±


    Surprised because apparently the corpse had consciousness when I play with it, I decide to do something else this time I used one of the recovery skills I have.


    ¡°[Heal]¡±


    I cast healing skill on the corpse, and slowly he started to grow a new pair of legs and colors return to his body. Once was a white, legless corpse, is now restored to a perfect state with both of his legs intact as if it was just a man sleeping on the ground instead of corpse. I once again cast [Resurrection] skill and suddenly he stand, it was so sudden that out of reflex I grabbed his leg, and since I¡¯m still on my squatting position I only managed to grab his leg. The man started to look around as if searching for something, and when he looked down at me, I smiled. As soon as he sees me, he tried to run but since I¡¯m still holding his leg, he fell, he fall on his own pool of bloods. After seeing small pieces chunk of meats inside the pool of bloods, his body started to tremble and his face is started to lose its colors. I dragged him out of the bloods. I dragged him on his leg and put him on the ground as I sit on a nearby wooden chair. While looking on his pitiful state on the ground, I asked.


    ¡°What are you planning to do now?¡±


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Without uttering a single word the man keep lying on the ground with his face facing the ground, he do not dare to speak to the girl sitting on the chair few steps from him, he do not even dare to just looked at her as he remember the pain he felt when she cut his legs bit by bit, he remembered the pain when she bring him back from the death over and over again. For once in his entire lives he never felt such fear before, just by looking at her made his body tremble in fear. He needs to get away from here fast, he needs to get away from this girl as fast as possible and as far as possible, and when he mustered his remaining will to run the girl spoke with a soft voice.


    ¡°You know you can¡¯t run from me.¡±


    ¡°You should know, even death couldn¡¯t save you from me.¡±


    Hearing her saying that, all of his will to run is suddenly disappeared. With his head facing down the man keep lying still on the ground, he do not dare to move nor speak, he keep lying on the ground as he feel more fears towards the girl who is currently sitting not far from him. She shattered all of his remaining will with just few words, he knew very well what she says is true, she is telling the truth when she says that even death cannot save him, he after all experienced it himself as she bring him back from the death just to suffer over and over again.

    Looking down at the man lying on the ground I feel more joy towards myself. There are many ways to control people, but the most effective one is with fear, if people fear you they will try to stay away or refused to get involved with you, but what if they can¡¯t run? What if they don¡¯t have place to hide? There¡¯s only one thing left for them to do, they can only yield to their fears. I knew, since the first time this man spoke I knew that I could break his will easily, well there¡¯s a saying that people who barks much will bite less. And after seeing the result I feel proud towards myself, the first mental game I played ended in great success, seeing his pitiful state I started to think, ¡®maybe he¡¯s on the very edge of his sanity¡¯, ¡®maybe a little bit more push will turns him insane¡¯, with all those thought I decide to not frighten him anymore and act out my next play. I asked him to turn around as he turns around and looking at me I showed him my lonesome expression.


    ¡°You know I¡¯m not from this world right?¡±


    ¡°You know I have no knowledge of this world right, and I don¡¯t have anyone to rely on, I need someone to rely on, I need someone to teach me and tell me about things, I need someone to follow me.¡±


    And I changed my expression into one with pure smile as I stand from my seat and reach my hand out to him.


    ¡°So what you say? Will you follow me? Will you teach me and tell me things about this world? Will you be someone I can rely on?¡±


    ¡°Will you follow me to whatever end?¡±


    Maybe because of my acting skill, the man reaches out his hand without hesitation and I grabbed it to help him stand, I asked for his name.


    ¡°Just call me Donald.¡±


    ¡°Mine is Larissa.¡±


    ¡°Now Donald, I promised you that no harm will fall on you as long as you follow me, and now you may go and have some fun with your friends over there.¡±


    I decide to change my name and instead of my real name I used my the name of my character. I pointed at the place where the men still raping the women, as he turns his head them I changed my smile into one filled with kindness mixed with a little bit sadness in it.


    ¡°Go, enjoy yourselves, I will wait for you here, I trusted that you¡¯ll come back here when you¡¯re done.¡±


    And for the final blow I changed my expression into one filled with sadness and lonesome and spoke in a low voice.


    ¡°I hope you will come back.¡±


    Donald left to the place where his friends having fun, he left Larissa with heavy steps. People filled with fear is easy to control, but once they taste a little bit of kindness, they¡¯ll forget all of their fears behind, and what happened when you shows that the person showing such kindness is also lonely and sad, they will stand by your side with all they had until something remind them about their fears and why they fears it. With such thought I showed him kindness and I also showed him my ¡®vulnerable¡¯ side, well if he betrayed me I¡¯ll just have him remember his fear. I sat back on the chair as I watch the men still vigorously raping the women, well the blessing effect will wear off soon I think.


    Roughly around 10 minutes Donald finally returns, that was fast, well considering I didn¡¯t give him any [Blessing] skills no wonder he finished after 10 minutes. We spent the rest of that day talking about this world, I asked a lot of things about this world, I asked about the name of the places and where they are, I compared them with the game I used to play before, but apparently the places name are different from my game which means that I¡¯m not inside the game, well maybe, but somehow I can use my skills just fine, even if I can¡¯t open my tab skills or see my HP or SP bar I somehow still able to use my inventory which is fine since I remember almost all of my skills, but unfortunately I can¡¯t use my storage. Maybe because I haven¡¯t think about it or I just don¡¯t have time to think about it, but as soon as I think about the storage, a lists of items appeared before my eyes. I continued to chat with Donald while scrolling through the lists of items in my storage, he also tells me about how they managed to raid the village with the help from one of the villager, and when I asked where that villager is, he pointed at the place where I land, apparently the person I hit during my fall is that villager. Finished talking with Donald I then search for food in the nearby house, and lucky me, I found two portion of steak hidden in the kitchen, considering that I¡¯m quite hungry, I decide to eat both portion, even if the meat is a bit hard I still managed to finished it. I realized when I search for food there¡¯s no mirror or any kind of glassware in this house, everything is made of wood, stone, or just hard clay. When I think that I need mirror to see how I look, I suddenly remembered something, I open my storage list and take out something from it, I took out Mirror Frame from my storage, suddenly a silver hand mirror with a beautiful crafted frame appeared out of nowhere in my hand. During my time playing the game I always collected everything I could find, even if some player consider it to be just a trash I still collect them, and Mirror Frame is just one of the trash drop from a field monster, and since I have plenty of those I took one out and looked into it. A woman with golden hair, thin lips, slender but sharp eyes reflected in the mirror. My heart filled with joy knowing I have my character looks from the game. It took hours just to create my ideal images of a woman, I create it with desire if I can choose how would I look when I born, I wanted to be like her, so I create my perfect image of a woman.


    Three days have passed since I arrived here, I lived in one of the empty house spending my days asking more information about this world, apparently, the currency I used in the game with the currency they used is different, even if the gold itself is still have some value in it but Donald said that there¡¯s no one willing to trade if I used my gold, their currency is only contain a copper coin, silver coin, and gold coin, their coins is just as big as a marble, they flatten the copper, silver, and gold and turns them into money, the shape is not even perfectly round, some are oval, there¡¯s also some which almost looks like square coins. There¡¯s a very obvious difference between my gold and the gold they used as currency, mine is perfectly round with a lion head in the middle of it and some unknown inscription surrounding it¡¯s edge, and my gold coins is around 5 mm thick while their coins is very thin, I¡¯m afraid that I might break it accidentally when I hold it. I also found out that there¡¯s a huge city south of here, its name is Holy City of Thymel, and I decide that I would be going there first.


    On the fourth day the bandits finally ran out of stamina. I was a bit surprised when I know that my [Mass Blessing] effect last longer than I thought, when it was still a game the [Mass Blessing] effect only last for around 30 minutes, but here in this world somehow they last for four days. When I see a group of men chatting leisurely in front of a house I asked them where they put the women are and asked them to take me there, because there¡¯s just no way for them to have outdoor sex for three days. They take me into some huge building, and when I entered the building I could smell a faint smell of fish and when one of them open one of the room inside the building, a foul stench stroke my nose, it was so stink as if there¡¯s a lot of dead fishes saved in one place, ignoring the smell as hard as I could, I walked into the room and start looking at the women eyes, as I walked around the room I could see that the women are already broken, there¡¯s no more light showing in their eyes as they stare blankly on the ground, but as I keep walking around the room, suddenly a woman jumped out of her place and strike me, maybe it¡¯s just her desperate attempt or whether if she¡¯s just exhausted, I feel no strength coming from her when she rammed her body on me and she fell.

 Ch.4 [Overpowered]

    Ch.4


    Looking at the woman on my feet somehow I know she¡¯ll make a good servant if I pushed her a little bit more to the edge. Crouching next to her I pulled out a small HP potion from my inventory and dropped a single drop into her mouth, I don¡¯t know how effective my potion is, but since my healing skill is able to grow a severed limbs I can¡¯t use it, after all I just need her to speak for now, and I think a single drop from my potion is enough for that. At first she started to cough, and then she fiercely gazed me, I can feel her gaze filled with hatred and enmity, I bring my face close to her and whispered.


    ¡°Do you want to get revenge?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I want to take my revenge and kill you.¡±


    She replied with hatred in her eyes.


    ¡°You misplaced your blame on me whether I¡¯m here or not you¡¯ll still met the same fate, but with I¡¯m here you have your chance to take revenge.¡±


    ¡°But you could save us if you wanted to.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for that, I did could save you from such fate but then what? You¡¯re just going to rely on god more and I¡¯m sure not far from now the same thing will happen again. So in order for you to realize that the thing you called god is not exist I decide to let you learn from your experience. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±


    After telling her my ¡®Reason¡¯ I showed her my sad and regretful face, I feel her hatred towards me is gradually gone when she saw my face. And with a troubled look I said to her in small voice so that the bandits standing outside the door won¡¯t hear us.


    ¡°I can help you now, if you wanted it I can give you the strength to have your revenge.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer it now, I¡¯ll come back here in an hour, and if you decide to have your revenge¡­..¡±


    I put the small HP potion on my hand next to her, and I also pulled out a small knife from my inventory and put it next to the potion, I put both item behind the woman so the bandit can¡¯t see it.


    ¡°¡­.You had to kill all the women, ease their pain by taking their lives. From what I see they¡¯re better off dead, it¡¯s better for them to die than to live a lifeless lives.¡±


    I left the woman with her doubtful look on her face. I walked out of the room and told the bandits to lock the room and give me the key. I walked out of the building and heads for the village entrance, today I specially told Donald to stand by at the village entrance. I asked him whether if there¡¯s anyone leaving the village when I meet him, he tells me that two bandits leave in the direction of the woods in the morning.


    ¡°[Seal] Unleashed, Hellhound.¡±


    I summon two Hellhounds with special skills I got when I changed my job into Battle Maiden. I think this skill is very unique, it allows you to seal weakened demon type monster and turns it into your summoned monster. And ever since I got this skill I never killed a demon type monster, I always seal them, I even managed to seal the hardest raid boss Demonic Michael after I pay several player to help me weakened it, after failed many times I finally sealed it. You could say that I finally catch ¡®em all, and because of that, I have a lot of sealed demon, even I can make my own army if I unleash them all, in fact I¡¯ve tried this during one of the guilds war, I summoned all of the demon I¡¯ve been collected, and used them to attack my guild enemy and of course the enemies are surprised when they see monsters appearing out of nowhere in the guild battle fields which results with my guild came out as a victor, and after that my guildsman titled me as ¡®One man army¡¯ while the enemies curse me for using cheat skill.


    ¡°Kill all men in that forest.¡±


    I gave my order to the Hellhounds and after howling they ran towards the forest, thinking that it would be a little bit troublesome if those two bandits escaped, so I sent two Hellhounds to hunt them down. I told Donald to stay at the entrance and prevent anyone from going out while I¡¯m going to find some food for myself to spent the remaining time before going back to see her result, well if she refuse my offer I just need to kill her, well maybe I should try from the dead, I think I saw some of the women are already dead. While looking for food I realized that this village is poor, way too poor, I can¡¯t find anything worth to eat I only found some vegetables, and grains, how are you supposed to eat grains, for three days Donald always preparing my food and there¡¯s always meat in it, I don¡¯t know where he find those meat. When I search through all the villager houses, suddenly I remember something, I checked my storage, that¡¯s it, I found it, trash drop from monsters. I pulled out Buffalo Meat, Chinese New Year Noodle, Tomatoes, and then I started to make spaghetti.


    Finished with all the cooking and eating, I rest for few minutes to digest the foods, and when I think it¡¯s been an hour I return to the huge building accompanied by one of the bandit I found on my way here, I asked him to follow me to this huge building, well I don¡¯t really know what kind of building this is, maybe it¡¯s a village hall, or maybe a church, I don¡¯t really know which. I open the door to the room where the women being held, when I open the door I saw all the women are lying on the floor, drenched in their own blood, in panic I looked at the bandit and tell him to inform the other, after confirming he already leave I walked into the room and speak in a small voice.Love what you''re reading?

    ¡°Where are you?¡±


    A hand holding a knife pop out among the corpses, I approach her and asked to confirm whether she will take her revenge on the bandits or not. She nod confirming that she will take her revenge, satisfied after seeing her determination I cast my supporting skill on her. Before I changed into Battle Maiden I have to level up and changed to Priest from my basic job as Acolyte and then to Bishop and finally Battle Maiden, and because of that I have plenty of supportive skills during my time as Priest and Bishop. I cast [Blessing], [Agility] and [Almighty] on her, I think those skills are enough to make her at least strong enough to fight against 18 men, I also gave her a huge sword from my inventory, well it¡¯s just exceedingly heavy sword, it¡¯s not dangerous, at least not for me. I told her to wait inside the building and wait for my signal as I walked out. Few minutes later the bandits start appearing one after another, but I¡¯m not allowed them to enter the building, and when 18 of them are present I started to speak.


    ¡°Greetings gentlemen, how was your time with the women.¡±


    The bandits gave out a small laugh as their tense faded from their faces and changed into one with smug, they laughing with smug faces when they remembered when they lasts for days during sex, happy to see their reaction I continued.


    ¡°You successfully raid a village, you kill its men, you sell their kids and virgins and make profit, you violate their women.¡±


    ¡°Gentlemen, aren¡¯t you lucky?¡±


    I said those words while smiling as if I¡¯m just joking. But then I turn my face into one with anger immediately, and the men turn quiet.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for saying this to you, but the women are dead, someone killed them.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately there¡¯s a traitor among us.¡±


    ¡°I know who the traitor is. So it¡¯s better if you come out and confess yourselves.¡±


    A silence filled the air for couple of minutes, I added.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t confess now, I¡¯m sorry but all of you will be punished.¡±


    When I said those things, the bandits looked at each other and started whispering among themselves about who¡¯s the traitor is, and after sometimes they started to argue and pointed to each other accusing one another. And before fights break out among them I decide to speak again.


    ¡°Since none confessed, I will punished you all. Oh, and I will tell you who the traitor is.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to say this, but the traitor is me.¡±


    As soon as the words left me a woman flew from inside the building, she charged towards the bandit with her great sword, she started rampaging like a mad man, or maybe in this case a mad woman. Since the bandit confused about the things I just said they¡¯re unprepared when she jumped towards them from inside the building. Some bandits already fell to her sword before they pull theirs out, I watched as she cut the bandits one by one, she easily cut the bandit as if she¡¯s just cut a pudding. She cut them one by one, she severed their limbs, she gouged their innards, and not even a minute passed all the bandits already met their ends. None of the corpses are intact, some are missing their legs or arms or both, some are split in two, and there¡¯s one with his belly open, spilling out its guts, with a bloodied face she turns to look at me, and a moment later she dashed towards me with her huge sword. With a calm voice I cast [Dispel] on her and she suddenly fell, caused by the weight of her sword. [Dispel] is one of the Bishop skills, it will remove all harmful buff from you, but it¡¯s also remove all your buff, it¡¯s kind of like two edged sword. I walked to her.


    ¡°You have your revenge, so I take my power back.¡±


    And with nonchalant tone I added.


    ¡°You can do whatever you want now.¡±


    ¡°But if you wanted to follow me, you can have that power as long as you serve me.¡±


    ¡°Now decide, do you want to follow me or keep living in this village. But since all the villagers are dead or sold, you don¡¯t really have much choice do you?¡±


    ¡°But if you still insist on living in this village, well, good luck with that.¡±


    After a long silence she finally spoke.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll follow you.¡±


    ¡°Good choice.¡±


    I took my sword from her hand and put it back in my inventory, I cast [Blessing], [Agility] and [Almighty] on her again.


    ¡°Let me tell you one thing.¡±


    ¡°Even if you have all these power, you can¡¯t defeat me.¡±


    After saying that I kicked her on her belly and sent her fly across the field, she only stopped after destroying a house. I shout to her in order to tell her to go to the village entrance to meet with Donald. I always prefer a quality over quantity, so I don¡¯t really mind losing all those bandits for two faithful servants. I control one with absolute fear, while I control another by showing how powerless she is, even if she¡¯s a little rebelling now I¡¯m sure she will show her absolute obedience to me sooner or later. It is easy to control people by showing them how powerless they are, and they will follow you willingly when you gave them power, they will never leave your side if it means losing their power. It¡¯s in human nature, people always flock around an individual with power. Arrived at the village entrance I wait with Donald, we wait for her to shows up, not long after she show herself, and as soon as she saw Donald she break into charge aiming for him, seeing Donald didn¡¯t flinch, I stopped her. Of course Donald didn¡¯t flinch just from random woman charging at her, he already felt what real fear is, what a real pain is.


    ¡°What are you thinking?¡±


    I asked her, even if I already know the answer, I still asked her.


    ¡°He¡¯s one of the bandits, he also rape me, I¡¯m going to kill him.¡±


    ¡°No you can¡¯t, he¡¯s also my follower, he¡¯s your partner from now, you can¡¯t harm him.¡±


    ¡°The same goes for you.¡±


    I pointed at Donald.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not done with my revenge, not until he dies.¡±


    ¡°Did you rape her?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±


    I asked him, but he only gives vague answer.


    ¡°Enough. Don¡¯t make me harm you.¡±


    When I threaten her she fell silent while holding her stomach, and because I don¡¯t know her name yet, I asked her.


    ¡°My name is Cicera, Cicera Turner.¡±


    ¡°Well Cicera, go clean yourself, we¡¯re going to head out for the city.¡±


    I told her to clear herself because she still had her bloodied face, I also added to Donald.


    ¡°Go with her, go find me something to wear.¡±


    I told him to find me some cloth for me, I can¡¯t really walked around in my full plated armor, and also there¡¯s no ordinary village dress in my inventory, I mean what kind of monster dropped such thing, so I told him to get me some dress, people will turn suspicious when they see me if I wear my full plated armor, so I decide to dress as a villager. And in case of something happened, I also cast [Blessing], [Agility] and [Almighty] on Donald. Ten minutes later both of them return with Donald carrying some dresses for me and Cicera already clean. I removed my armor and put them in my inventory and changed into the dress Donald bought, I changed on the spot, I changed while waiting for my Hellhounds, I wonder why they didn¡¯t come back yet, back in the game I can just easily call them back with console appearing on the corner of the screen when I summon them, but since this is real life such control won¡¯t appear. Donald tried to look away when I changed, well it¡¯s not like I care, being seen naked is nothing compared to being raped over and over. Finished changing into the dress I pulled two cloaks from my storage and hand one to Cicera, since Donald already wearing one he don¡¯t need another one, and we start walking towards the Holy City of Thymel.


    Little did Larissa know, when she order her Hellhounds, she only said ¡®Kill all men inside the forest.¡¯ So after killing both bandits the Hellhounds keep rampaging inside the forest and kill every man they encountered.

 Ch.5 [Along the Path, Down the Road]

    Ch.5


    Following Donald who¡¯s right now walking in front of us, me and Cicera walked down the road heading south towards the Holy City of Thymel, and since Donald is the only one who knows the way it¡¯s reasonable for him to lead the way, being our guide he told us that if we keep walking down the road we will arrived at the next village by night. We raised our pace a little bit, and at dusk I see a flicker of light in the distance, after seeing the light we raised our speed once more. Leaving the forest we managed to arrive at the village when it¡¯s almost night, it¡¯s just like what Donald says, if we didn¡¯t raise our pace we might end up spending the night in the forest since it¡¯s a little troublesome walking in the forest at night, there are tree roots everywhere, even if it¡¯s a main road, it¡¯s not like the roads are paved or something.


    Arrived at the village we decide to find an inn, somehow there¡¯s only one inn in this village. I wonder why there¡¯s another village closed to one another, I meant its only half day walking, I tried asking Cicera but she said that she didn¡¯t know, she said that the village is already there when she was born, so she didn¡¯t really think about it that much. She also said that since her village is closed to one another the men from her village often comes to make a trade here. Well it could be troublesome if they began to feel suspicious since it¡¯s almost a week and no one coming here from her village, maybe she sees my troubled faced because Cicera suddenly says.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, they won¡¯t know about what happened back there.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s our village who¡¯s always asking to trade with them, and I think they don¡¯t really care about what happened to us. They¡¯re a snob, usually my husband comes here to trade our vegetables for other necessities, but one day I decide to come with him, and when we tried to trade our goods they looked at us as if we¡¯re beggar.¡±


    ¡°They think they have higher standing than us, well their village is a little bit better than ours, but still, it¡¯s nothing if you compared it with the city.¡±


    I don¡¯t know why, but somehow Cicera started to tell me her stories while Donald booking us a room for tonight, maybe her heart softened a little. Luckily Donald had time to collect all the money he can find in the village before leaving, even if it¡¯s not much it¡¯s still better since I can¡¯t use my golds. And in order to save the money we had, I told Donald to order a single room for three of us. Donald managed to order a room with four beds for us, he tells me that the inn doesn¡¯t have room with three beds well at least it¡¯s cheaper than ordering three rooms. And because we have to save money I told them not to order any foods, and when we arrived at our room I take out Bread, Cheese, and Tomatoes from my storage and started to make sandwich, I make three of them and gave one to each of us, seeing the sandwich vanished in an instant I told them if they want more they can make it themselves, and after five minutes all of the Bread, Cheese, and the Tomatoes I put on the table are gone, well I think they¡¯re really hungry after walking for hours. Finished with the eating I told them to sleep early because I wanted to leave early in the morning, Donald also agree on my suggestion, he said that it will take around three days for us to reach the next village.


    That night I stayed up late until midnight to check my storage. In the morning Cicera wake me up, I see that she and Donald are already up and ready to leave, I wake up and fixed my hair then I take out Holy Water from my inventory and drink it, even if it¡¯s a Holy Water it¡¯s still just a water so I just casually drink it, and when Donald see me drink the water he suggest me that it would be better to sell the silver cup than to sell my golds, after seeing the cup on my hand I have to agree with Donald, it¡¯s silver color, it¡¯s detailed carvings, it is indeed looks like a luxurious items, and maybe if I sell the silverware it would be less suspicious. We left the inn and left the village, I decide that I will sell the silverware when we reach the city, after leaving the village while we walk on the main road I remembered the unpleasant dreams I had last night, I dream about the time in my previous live, I dreamed about the first time those mafia started to rape me, I remember about how I cried and scream for help at that time. I hate my helpless selves back then, I swear that in this live I will make people realized that there is no such thing as god. Thinking so I walked with my fist clenched, following Donald down to the south.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Cicera POV (The Night at the Inn)


    ¡®Shit why isn¡¯t she sleep yet¡¯ I lied on my bad while sometimes I peeked a little to see whether she¡¯s asleep or not. She is the one responsible for my fate, She is the one responsible for all the pain I¡¯ve been through, If she just decide to help us at that time, I would not feel all those pain, and maybe I would be able to save my children, and now, only heavens know where they are right now. She¡¯s evil, she appeared out of nowhere and she has the power to stop those men, and yet she decide to ignore those who¡¯s in need, she is such an evil, maybe god cast her away because of her corrupted heart.


    ¡®Finally, she¡¯s finally asleep.¡¯ It¡¯s around midnight when she¡¯s finally asleep, and after waiting for couple of hours I wake up from my bed, I wake slowly from my bed so that I won¡¯t wake her, I grabbed a knife from the table and stab her in the chest.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    ¡®Huh¡¯ the knife won¡¯t pierce her body, I stab her again, the results are the same as the first I tried, I tried to stab her again and again, but no matter how many times I tried the knife somehow just won¡¯t pierce her skin, I tried to slice her throat, nothing, not a scratch, she even still soundly asleep. I poked the knife with my finger. It¡¯s sharp, my finger started to drop some blood as soon as the knife touched it. But why, why can¡¯t I kill her.


    ¡°Why¡­¡­. won¡¯t¡­¡­. you¡­¡­.. die, you¡­.. bitch.¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡­. evil.¡±


    Every time I stab her I shouted those words with whispered voice.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    It¡¯s Donald, he¡¯s awake and whispered to me, I think I wake him up, but I don¡¯t care, after I kill this bitch I¡¯m going to kill him next.


    ¡°I¡­. tried¡­¡­. To¡­. Kill¡­.. this¡­.. This¡­¡­ evil¡­¡­ thing.¡±


    ¡°Stop it. You¡¯re going to wake her up.¡±


    He approaches me, I tried to stab him with the knife but he managed to deflect it and throw the knife away.


    ¡°Why are you stopping me?¡±


    ¡°Do you think I never tried to kill her when she sleeps?¡±


    ¡°I tried many times before when we still in that village, but no matter what I do I can¡¯t cut her. My sword broke the first time I tried to stab her, I tried to smash her head with a rock, but instead her head it was the rock that got splattered.¡±


    ¡°Stop it¡­.. Please.¡±


    Small voices come from Larissa bed. Both Donald and me froze in fears, we slowly turns our head towards the voice, but surprisingly I saw her cry, tears came out of her eyes, she looks in pain when she cried. I tried asks Donald about it.


    ¡°Have you seen this before?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s my first time. I never see her cry like this.¡±


    ¡°I wonder what make her cry like that.¡±


    I muttered to myself, but Donald thinks that as a question since he answered it.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s related to what she says to me the other day.¡±


    ¡°What? What did she tells you?¡±


    ¡°Wel¡­ she says that she¡¯s not from this world, and she also says she didn¡¯t know anything about this world and she asked me if she can rely on me.¡±


    ¡°And you believe it?¡±


    ¡°At first? No, but after seeing her like this, I think she¡¯s telling me the truth.¡±


    ¡°Bullshit, I don¡¯t believe it.¡±


    ¡°And what will you do now? don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to follow her.¡±


    ¡°Well¡­.. Yeah, I think I¡¯ll follow her and do what she tells me to do for now.¡±


    ¡°What time is it?¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s almost dawn, why?¡±


    ¡°Stop making a ruckus, you might wake her up.¡±


    ¡°You know you can¡¯t harm her, now return to your bed.¡±


    Donald returns to his bed while telling Cicera to return to hers and he sit leaning on the wall on his bed.


    ¡°I wonder why didn¡¯t the knife broke.¡±


    ¡°Why should It broke?¡±


    ¡°Mine did when I tried to stab her, that¡¯s why I don¡¯t carry any weapon with me right now.¡±


    I fell silent as I focused my eyes on the knife in Donald hands.


    ¡°Maybe because its hers?¡±


    I said in puzzlement.


    ¡°Maybe you¡¯re right, she pulled this out of nowhere along with the other stuff right.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, is it magic?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, I¡¯m not familiar with magic.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you a bandit?¡±


    ¡°Why would bandit be familiar with magic?¡±


    ¡°If I know magic, I wouldn¡¯t be a bandit in the first place.¡±


    We chatted until dawn. I decide to follow her, at least until I know what make her cry like that, and I can use it, I will use it against her. And when morning came, I wake her up and we left the village.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Larissa POV


    Seeing neither Donald or Cicera carry a weapon I decide to take a sword and a dagger for her from my inventory, I did search in my storage a weapon fit for them, and since a sword is going to looks weird when you only wear a casual cloth I decide to give Cicera a dagger. I choose [Moonsky Dagger] for Cicrea, it¡¯s just a crescent shaped dagger with pure white sharp edge while the remaining blade is as black as the night, well if you look at it by its shape it is indeed beautiful as the moon, but in the game it¡¯s just a low level dagger. As for Donald I choose [Slayer] there¡¯s also nothing special about this sword, it¡¯s just two edged sword with a part near the handle is a little bit slim, I choose it because of its cutting power, well it¡¯s not far from my main weapon but I think it¡¯s enough, I mean even those huge sword I lent to Cicera can cut men as if they were pudding, and since this sword have better power I think it¡¯s more than enough. I take both the sword and the dagger from my inventory, I already separate them and put them in my inventory during the night so that I don¡¯t bother searching them again in my storage, and because the only equipment in my inventory is my armor set and my sword, it¡¯s easier to find both weapon. When I pulled both weapon out, Cicera who¡¯s walking next to me keep staring at the weapons, I gave the dagger to her, and with amazed look she shake her head.


    ¡°Here, to defend yourself.¡±


    I said that and forced the dagger on her hands, and called out to Donald.


    ¡°Donald. Here. I don¡¯t see any weapon with you, so here, use this.¡±


    I hand him the sword. He take it and said his thanks, he pulled out the sword from it sheath, he look at the sword in amaze for a moment, but when he turns his head at Cicera and see her admiring her dagger, he felt a little down, well if you compared it with their looks obviously the dagger would win, so I told him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s better than the dagger.¡±


    ¡°Let me see¡­..¡±


    ¡°There, try to cut that tree over there.¡±


    I pointed to a small tree not far from where we stand and told Donald cut it. And with creaking sounds the tree fell without a fight and Donald stare at the sword with more amazement. He returns to us with a wide smile on his face, he approaches me and pull something from his cloak, it¡¯s a knife, it was a knife I used to make sandwich back at the inn, why is it with him. He said he wanted to return it to me but I refused and let him have it, it was just an ordinary knife evert player had when they first started the game. We resume our walks down the south, I don¡¯t know why, but it seems today Donald is a bit more cooperative than before, well it¡¯s not like he disobeyed me before, but somehow today he do everything I told him without being forced, it¡¯s like he¡¯s happy when I told him to do something, I don¡¯t know what happened to him, maybe because the sword, anyway who cares as long as he do as I told.


    A little bit past midday after we finished our lunch a horse drawn carriage passed by us and offer us a ride, I thanked them and refused their offer and they keep riding south. I need to do something tonight after all. When it¡¯s about night, we exit the main road to find some place to rest, and at night when we finished with dinner I summoned more Hellhounds. I summoned five of them, because they look just like a dog they should be good to stand guard, the only difference is in their eyes and fur, the Hellhounds have a black fur and fiery eyes, I meant their eyes is literally on fire. I told both Donald and Cicera that they could sleep without worrying about the night watch after I summon the Hellhounds. Donald fell asleep in an instant while Cicera looks like having some trouble sleeping. I check my storage again, to spend the time. And only after a little past midnight Cicera finally fall asleep, and I started to do what I intent to do.


    ¡°[Contract] Michael, lend me your wings.¡±


    A pair of faded goldish wings appeared on my back. I was planning to train flying during the night when they¡¯re asleep, I concentrate the feeling on my back and start practicing. In the morning I unsummoned the Hellhounds, I keep doing the same thing during the night for three days, and at the fourth day we arrive at the village. Somehow I feel something strange about this village, there¡¯s something different here.

 Ch.6 [Coin Breeds Care]

    Ch.6


    Arrived at the next village, I somehow felt that something is a little bit odd and the air, the air here is a bit brighter than the previous village. That¡¯s it, I realized what¡¯s strange about this village, it¡¯s the weapons, there¡¯s quite some people walking here and there carrying weapon. Maybe they¡¯re soldiers, but why they¡¯re not wearing any uniform. And as if he can read my mind, Donald speaks and explains who they are.


    ¡°They¡¯re Hunters.¡±


    ¡°Hunter?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, from Hunter Guild.¡±


    ¡°Hunter Guild? They exist.¡±


    I mumbled to myself as I thinking that this world is more and more like fantasy. But maybe because Donald heard me, he started to tell me the stories about how they formed Hunter Guild. Long ago the hunters make their name known in the world as they slain every monsters tasked to them, they escort merchants through their journey, and as the hunters get more and more trust for their achievement, a lot of merchants started to use their services and because of that the bandits lose their incomes because merchants no longer travels on their own, during that time the Hunter Guild is still not exist, the hunter will find their own customer as they offer their services to the merchants or villages who have trouble with monsters, and because of that, at some time in history bandit started to disguise themselves as hunter and offer their services to merchants, as the time goes by the merchants started to lose their trust towards the hunter because more and more of their colleague robbed by the hunter who¡¯s supposed to protect them, during that time even if the real hunter want to cut down the imposter they can¡¯t do anything because it was so hard to tell the difference between bandit and the real hunter. And when the hunter credibility is on the brink of collapsing, several groups of hunter started the Hunter Guild, at first it didn¡¯t go well the merchants still got robbed but given time the Hunter Guild manage to hunt the imposter one by one, they draw every people faces who wanted to join the Hunter Guild, and when the escort request ended by the merchant got robbed the guild started to put bounty on the hunter who take the request and spread the pictures among other hunters, the guild also presented the head of the imposter to the Merchant Guild to prove their responsibility. That¡¯s how the hunter get their credibility back, that¡¯s also what makes the bandits fear them.


    When I asked Donald when that happen, he shakes his head he also said that the Hunter Guild already exist for hundreds of years, and that¡¯s just a story he heard from his fellow bandit. When Donald finished his story Cicera already found the cheapest inn in the village after asking some people. As usual we rent a single big room without ordering any food, I take out some Bread, Cheese, Tomatoes, and I also take out some Honey because I¡¯m not in mood to eat cheese and tomatoes. I have some fish and meat in my storage but since they¡¯re all raw I can¡¯t eat them without cooking them first, well we eat always eat them when we still inside the forest so just for today we have to do with just sandwich, while eating our sandwich somehow Donald look a little bit troubled.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°¡­. It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    ¡°Just tell me, are you hurt somewhere?¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not hurt, it¡¯s just¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just we¡¯re a little short on money.¡±


    ¡°Why is that?¡±


    ¡°We only have 1 silver and 2 copper left, while the entrance fee into the city is 5 silvers for one person.¡±


    No way, the city entrance is more expensive than staying a night in an inn, we rent this room for a day and it only cost us 3 silvers, what kind of reasoning did they use when they decide to charge 5 silvers just for the entrance fee. I asked Donald whether we could sell the silver cup or not and just like I thought, he shakes his head he said that no one can afford such item here. I don¡¯t know how much it¡¯s worth but we can¡¯t sell it too cheap, if we did that, they will just turns suspicious and won¡¯t buy it. As I wonder what to do Cicera suddenly speak after she finished her sandwich.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we sell that meat of yours, we can get some money with that.¡±


    ¡°My meat?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, the one you always pulled out of nowhere. Is it magic?¡±


    ¡°Is it really going to sell?¡±


    I ignore her and asked Donald about what she said, he looks a little bit troubled.


    ¡°Are you really okay?¡±


    ¡°Nah, just ignore him miss, he just don¡¯t want to lose the meat.¡±


    Cicera added as she makes another sandwich filled with honey. I assure him that I have plenty of meats, so it¡¯s okay if we sell some, only then he turns his troubled face into one with a smile he also suggested to sell the meat to the local butcher or restaurant or an inn. He tells us that it would be better to sell it directly than just sell them through merchant, I agree with him even if it¡¯s meant more works to do, well since it¡¯s still round noon so it¡¯s okay to take a look around the village a little bit. And since four days have passed I cast [Blessing], [Agility], and [Almighty] again for both of them. We left the inn to find a butcher it¡¯s kind of ironic, because we¡¯re going to sell meat to a place that sells meat. Yup it is ironic and it was so ironic that all of the butchers in the village turn us down, they said that they still have stock of meats to sell so they can¡¯t afford to stock up too much meant because they will rot. So we change our target, right now we tried to sell the meat to the restaurant or an inn, the first two restaurants turn us down they say they didn¡¯t sell any kind of meat dish, and as for the third which also the last restaurant in the village.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    ¡°Meat you say?¡±


    ¡°What kind of meat?¡±


    I pulled out a piece of meat.


    ¡°A thigh huh.¡±


    He then cut a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth. That¡¯s raw you know, are you really going to eat it? As I wonder he suddenly spit the meat out of his mouth.


    ¡°Good, it¡¯s not a monster meat.¡±


    ¡°Monster?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, someone tried to sell me meat from a monster before.¡±


    ¡°But they ignore the fact that I was a hunter before, so I know how a monster meat taste likes.¡±


    ¡°How come you eat a monster before? How did they taste?¡±


    Cicera added. Oh come on. We¡¯re here to sell meat not to listen a story.


    ¡°One day when my party ran out of food because of a small mistake, we take a hunting request to bring a pelt of Grey Vagabond, it¡¯s a grey wolves like monster if you want to know. The guild already warn us about the difficulty of the request because the monster is smart at hiding, but because we were young and fill with pride we told the guild that we well complete the request within 3-4 days. After searching for 3 days we didn¡¯t manage to find a single one, we should be going back at that time but because we were so prideful we decide to search again, and on the fourth day we did manage to find and kill it, we were so proud at that time because we did find the monster within 4 days, but because of our recklessness we only stock food for four days and on our way to return to the city we ran out of food, we decide to hunt some animals on the first day but we didn¡¯t find a single animals to kill, and on the second day when our hunger grew unbearable we decide to eat our hunting prey we¡¯ve been carrying along the way. At first that monster meat is taste so delicious with a little stingy feeling every time you chew it, we satisfied our hunger that night and when the morning came we started to feel a little nausea, it¡¯s getting worse along the time and around noon all of us passed out on our way, luckily the guild send searching party to look for us so none of us had died.¡±


    ¡°And from that day I decide to make delicious foods so that no one will feel what we felt back then.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s also the reason why I tried your meat, since I don¡¯t feel any stingy feeling when I chew it before it means that it¡¯s not a monster meat.¡±


    ¡°So how much would you sell this thigh for?¡±


    ¡°1 silver for a thigh.¡±


    ¡°No way, 50 copper.¡±


    I leave the negotiation to Donald. Apparently 1 silver coin is worth 60 copper and 1 gold coin is worth 70 silver, I don¡¯t know who came out with such concept, why don¡¯t they just make a silver worth 100 copper coins. After long negotiation the owner finally agree to buy 30 thigh for 30 silvers, Donald manage to threaten the manager by saying that we will sell the meat to the merchant if he¡¯s no willing to pay 1 silver for each thigh. Finished with our business I told the other two about what they want to do, I told Donald to give Cicera 5 silver coins while he can keep another 5 for himself, I also told both of them that they could spend their time to look around the village so they can spend their silvers. As for me, I¡¯m going back to the inn since I haven¡¯t got enough sleep when I practice my flying skill, it¡¯s harder than I thought but still, I got a little bit better at it, now I can keep my balance in the air but I still can¡¯t move around in the air, all I can do is just going up and down. While Donald seems reluctant to leave alone in the inn Cicera already gone as soon as I said she could have fun, I told Donald it¡¯s okay and I went back to the inn to sleep.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Cicera POV


    Yes. Now I can free myself off of her preying eyes, first let¡¯s see if I can find a slave dealer in this village or maybe a merchant who sell slaves, I tried asking around if there¡¯s a slave dealer in this village, apparently there¡¯s one in this village, that¡¯s quite rare to find one outside the city, anyway I¡¯m going there. It should be around here, yup there it is, next to an inn. When I enter the shop a man behind the desk greet me, I guess it must be the shop keeper so I walked to the desk and asked if I can meet with the shop owner, unlucky me, the shopkeeper said that the owner is in the city right now so I asked him if there¡¯s a new slaves from the north but the shopkeeper shake his head.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry madam, there¡¯s no new slave from the north. But if you¡¯re looking for strong man to do heavy works we have those.¡±


    ¡°Sorry, but I¡¯m not interested in any man. But if you have any information about new slaves from the north than I¡¯m willing to buy that information.¡±


    ¡°Well madam, how much you willing to pay for such information?¡±


    ¡°1 silver.¡±


    ¡°Please madam, if you don¡¯t intent to buy anything from us I will have to ask you to leave.¡±


    ¡°Fine how about 3?¡±


    ¡°5.¡±


    ¡°No 4.¡±


    ¡°Deal, since I think it¡¯s all you had.¡±


    I gave him 4 silver coins and ask for the information.


    ¡°Well, I had heard rumor, stories that new stock is coming from the north yesterday, they sell it to a slave dealer in the city, I also heard that this new stock is mostly children and virgins.¡±


    ¡°And? Who¡¯s the dealer name?¡±


    ¡°You ask much for someone who gives less. I won¡¯t give you anything more than that, if you want the name you have to pay 1 gold coin.¡±


    ¡°Now if you please excuse us ma¡¯am, we have business to run.¡±


    With a bitter smile I left the shop, but at least I manage to get some information about my son whereabouts so I went to search for Donald, I want to ask him to hasten our departure I want him to ask Larissa so we can leave this village in the evening, somehow she only listen to what he said. I have to hurry and find him, anyway where did he go, we have to get to the city as soon as possible, I don¡¯t know how long my sons will be in the city, I don¡¯t want to lose them anymore. That¡¯s him, I found him lining up on a food stall, what is he doing smiling like an idiot, he¡¯s not even get his food yet, anyway we have to hurry, I have to hurry to the city even if it means that I have to drag him along the road.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Donald POV


    Is she okay? She wanted to rest and tells both of us to have fun. I guess she is bound to get tired, she is after all always summoned her creepy wolves every nights, she sure is tired after spending so much energy on her magic. I guess I just let her rest today, yeah let¡¯s leave her alone for now, let¡¯s see what I can get with 5 silver coins. Better find something to eat first, after all I only had sandwich today. Oh that¡¯s look promising, I think so when I see a lot of people lined up in one of the food stall, after several minutes waiting I finally get to order the food I order something and move aside after I get my food. Oh¡­. It¡¯s good it is so good. Let¡¯s order again, damn I have to wait in line again, hehehe¡­. several minutes passed when I¡¯m just few person away from my food but suddenly someone break the line and pulled me out, what the hell.


    ¡°Cicera?¡±


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°Come we have to go to the city immediately.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, it¡¯s not even an hour yet and Larissa is still resting in the inn.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and tell her, I found my sons in the city, so we have to hurry.¡±


    She dragged me by the arm, I free my arms from her while people started to surround us, they must think it¡¯s some kind of drama since more and more people gathered around us.


    ¡°Your sons?¡±


    Ah¡­ she must be telling me about the group of kids we sell to the slave dealer, apparently she found her sons.


    ¡°Yeah the one you sell to the slave dealer.¡±


    After she said that all the people started to murmur ¡®What a cruel father, selling his own son.¡¯ I¡¯m not the father okay, and stop poking your nose into someone else problem.


    ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. You¡¯re the one who sell my kids, so it¡¯s your responsibility.¡±


    She started to pulled out her dagger. Oi oi oi, I¡¯m not the only one responsible for your kids, so can you at least put your dagger back.

 Ch.7 [Lump In Your Throat]

    Ch.7


    Donald POV


    ¡°Oi ca?.¡±


    When I tried to calm her down she already charged in towards me, out of reflex I parry her dagger with my sword. Clang, a heavy sound of steel clashing one another resounded through the air while the audience started to cheers when the battle starts. What is this, did they think it¡¯s some kind of entertainment or something for them? I tried to pushed her back but she¡¯s already jumped back, and in an instant she dashed again, the onlooker started to cheers once more, oh come on, if you really like a fight then switch with me. She dashed towards me but this time instead of blocking her attack I tried to dodge it, I move toward her left and hit her with the handle of my sword, I tried to hit her on the back to make her unconscious but she only groan in pain when I hit her, I know Larissa put her spell on both of us but still isn¡¯t it kind of too much just for strengthening spell, I hit her with a lot of strength but she only groaned in pain, it should make her unconscious or at least fall on the ground. Shit, what would she do when she see the bruise on Cicera¡¯s back, I started to panic when I thinking about what would she do to me.


    ¡°Cicera stop it, you remember what would happen when we hurt each other right.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not going to hurt you. I¡¯m going to kill you.¡±


    Are you for real? How should I stop her? How can I stop her? While I¡¯m busy thinking about how to stop her, she once again charged at me followed by cheers from the onlookers, but in the middle of her charge she suddenly throw something at me, I reflexively block it with my sword but when I realized it she¡¯s already below my elbow, with a smirk on her face she stab me on my chest with her dagger while saying ¡®Got you.¡¯ I hit her face as hard as I can with my elbow and sent her flying across the road where she hit several people. The surrounding fell silence in an instant, she left her dagger stuck on my chest, I pulled it out and the surrounding started to make a ruckus about what just happened, some said ¡®Someone help him.¡¯ While other shouted ¡®Catch her, restrain her.¡¯ Why didn¡¯t you help me restrain her from the start you fools. I fell on the ground when strength slowly left my body and went unconscious.


    Larissa POV


    Ugh, my head¡¯s hurt, why would there¡¯s so much noise outsides, I wish the room is sound proof. Anyway why the hell did they make so much noise outside, ugh because I¡¯m up I can¡¯t really going back to sleep, let¡¯s see what caused the ruckus. As I left the inn I can see people running towards one direction and heard them saying something about a fight, apparently there¡¯s a fight between a wife and a husband near a food stall well looks like someone is hungry. I finally see people flocking around something, when I moved closer I could hear people shouting ¡®Come on, restrain her, she¡¯s just a single woman.¡¯ And when I tried to figured out what happened somehow peoples suddenly started to fly in all direction, I have a bad feeling about this, and just like I thought when I arrived I saw Cicera fighting against several men at once and she sent them fly one by one, and when she accidentally found me among the crowd I tilted my head in puzzlement and smile, she froze in fear and in the next moment she tried to run away.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. [Chronos]¡±


    People confused because the woman who¡¯s actively throwing people around before is suddenly stopped moving. Ignoring the people¡¯s look I tried to find Donald as I walked to a smaller group surrounding someone who¡¯s seems to be hurt, I had a feeling that the one who¡¯s injured is Donald, when I arrived at the spot I see Donald lying on the ground with a wound on his chest, I also see several people tried to treat his wound and I also see a small track of blood, well I guess they have to move him in order to treat his wound. I walked to a place where he lies unconscious.


    ¡°Excuse me. He¡¯s one of my aides, do you mind if I take a look.¡±


    Without waiting for permission I squeezed in between two men who¡¯s treating Donald wound. The wound is already clean, however every times he breathe blood flows out of his wound and the men next to me started to wipe it clean again. They didn¡¯t do anything to stop the bleeding? He¡¯s going to die because losing too much blood if all you do is just clean the wound so I asked in wonder.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t try to heal his wound?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry miss, but this is the best we can do.¡±


    ¡°We already sent someone to call the priest.¡±


    ¡°Priest? Not a doctor?¡±


    Both men speak one after the other, and apparently there¡¯s no doctor in this world, when I mention a word doctor everyone seems a bit confused and asked me what doctor is. Of course I didn¡¯t bother explain what doctor is, I meant what¡¯s the benefit in it, it¡¯s just a troublesome thing to do. So instead of explaining what doctor is, I asked about the weapon that cut Donald and since I don¡¯t see Cicera holding any weapons when she fought those men, I¡¯m sure the dagger must be around Donald¡¯s body but I didn¡¯t see it. And suddenly a kid came out of the crowd holding the dagger when I asked in loud voice whether anyone see it or not, I take the dagger back and put it next to Donald¡¯s body then give a silver coin to the boy, after all he saved me from the trouble of finding it. The boy left with joyous expression and I turn my attention back to Donald as I cast healing skill on him.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    ¡°[Heal]¡±


    The wound on his chest is closing and his face which once was pale because losing too much blood is now regained its color back. At first he only groan and then he suddenly open his eyes and started to cough blood, I helped him sit and give him a little tap on his back to help him. Ignoring all the amazed looks on people eyes I asked if he¡¯s better now, he only nod and follow me as I walked towards another crowd while holding the dagger. There are a lot of people surrounding Cicera, obviously they are wondering how come a woman who¡¯s supposedly throwing people around suddenly stopped moving.


    ¡°Excuse me.¡±


    I tried to squeeze in among the crowd towards where Cicera is. Damn, why there¡¯s so much people here, don¡¯t they have any works to do? And Donald who¡¯s supposed to be walking behind me is right now walked in front of as he tried to make way for me to walk through the crowd, what a handyman. After I finally manage to walk through the crowd I saw Cicera standing in the same spot when she first see me, and when she see me out of the crowd her expression suddenly filled with fear, I smiled when I see her expression, looks like she knows what will about to happen to her, so I decide to postpone her punishment, I¡¯ll make her wait in anxiety. People started to notice me when I walked to where Cicera stand, and when I stand next to her I speak in a loud voice, it¡¯s almost like shouting than speaking.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry about what both my aides do, I¡¯m sorry because they make such ruckus during the day, and I also sorry if any of you became a victim for their blunder, I¡¯m truly sorry about what happened. And as their master I will punished them as a reminder so that the same thing won¡¯t happen again, and as my apologies I will leave the village immediately to cause you no further trouble.¡±


    I showed my regretful smile and bowed, people started to look a bit troubled after they see me bow, and some started to leave. After about a minute I raised my head and turns my head to look at Cicera, I smiled when I saw her fearful expression. She made me do such thing so I¡¯m sure she¡¯s prepared about what will I do to her, I¡¯m going to punished her so bad that she will think dead is a better option for her. I grab her arm and drag her out of the remaining crowd, the people are surprised when they see me dragged her as if I was dragging some stuffed toy. Ignoring their stares I keep dragging her out of the village while Donald walked in front of me, I¡¯m sure her feet will hurt badly when I undo my skill. And in the afternoon when we currently take our break to have some lunch I saw Donald staring at Cicera who¡¯s still froze solid like a rock standing next to me with a pitiful look.


    ¡°Do you want to share some of her burden?¡±


    I said that to him because he¡¯s should be able to stop her, I meant how can a bandit lose to a housewives from I don¡¯t know where. He immediately shakes his head after hearing what I said and we proceed towards our journey to the south. At nighttime when Donald preparing dinner with the meat I gave him I undo the skill on Cicera.


    ¡°[Chronos]¡±


    When the skill disappeared she started to cry while saying ¡®it hurt, my feet hurt.¡¯ Of course it¡¯s going to hurt after all I dragged you all day long, and when she get used to the pain on her feet she whispered ¡®I¡¯m hungry.¡¯ Even if it¡¯s a whisper both me and Donald can hear it quite well, so I told Donald to give her some food, if I remember she hasn¡¯t eat anything since we left the village. Finished with the eating I summoned the Hellhounds but before we sleep I called to Cicera and pulled something out of my storage. It was a ring, in my storage this ring is categorized as an ordinary item not equipment, but when I tried to take it out of my inventory during one of my sleepless night its shape is just ordinary ring, so I wonder if people can actually wear it.


    The reason this ring piqued my interest is because the description of the ring, it said ¡®Ring of Ra: The wearer of this ring will gain an eternal life.¡¯ It means immortality right, so I wonder whether the description is true or not and tonight I¡¯m going to test it. I told Cicera to wear the ring, at first she hesitated because it¡¯s a golden ring with a huge red stone on top of it with smaller colorful stone around it. I told her it was okay and she put the ring on her finger, apparently you can wear it even if it¡¯s not counted as equipment, and for the second test, I pulled out the dagger I gave to Cicera from my waist and in an instant I cut her head off. Her body fell backwards while her head rolled near my legs, and after realizing what happened she scream, the head is screaming while the body wiggling violently on the ground, she keep screaming and shouting ¡®it hurt, it hurt.¡¯ While Donald can only close his eyes from this hellish scenery. Apparently the ring is grants you eternal life but it looks like you can still the pain. I walked to where her body is and stab her heart with the dagger, she¡¯s now scream more loud than before, well looks like she can still feel her body even if it¡¯s not attached to her head, this time I walked to her head is and picked it up, I grab the head by the hair and told her to try to make her body stand, but after five minutes all she do is only scream so I tossed her head to where her body is. I pulled out earmuff from my storage I give one to Donald and tell him to go sleep as I use another one and went to sleep, well no one can sleep with all those screaming.


    In the next morning I take off my earmuff and the air is peaceful, there¡¯s only bird chirping and the sounds of the bugs, no screaming can be heard. Looks like she ran out of voices for screaming all night long, when I looked at Donald he seems to be sleeping so I wake him up and when he¡¯s up I told him to make some food and put the earmuff back in my storage. I walked towards Cicera¡¯s head, apparently she passed out during the night so I pick her head and attach it to her body and cast [Heal] on her, her head is attached back to her body and she suddenly wake from her dream and started to scream so I slap her on the face to silence her and return to where Donald is to help him make some breakfast, my Hellhounds are still there so if she tried to run I just need to tell them to catch her and if she is miraculously escaped from them, still she can¡¯t run from me.


    ¡°Come, help us make breakfast.¡±


    Without delay she hurriedly comes to us and without uttering single words she helped us to make some breakfast. Finished with the breakfast I unsummoned my Hellhounds and give Cicera her dagger back, I also asked for the ring back and without another question she give the ring back to me.


    ¡°Do you want to say something?¡±


    I asked her but she remained silent.


    ¡°I take your silence as a yes. So, what you want to tell me?¡±


    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°What for?¡±


    ¡°F-For making a scene in the village.¡±


    ¡°I care not about what you do in the village, but I did care about what you do to Donald.¡±


    ¡°I already told you both before, if you hurt each other I¡¯ll give you some punishment, and I also says to Donald once that I won¡¯t let him get hurt.¡±


    ¡°And you make me break my promise to Donald by hurting him.¡±


    ¡°Me beheading you is just part of the punishment for hurting Donald, and I¡¯ll still give you another punishment because you make me break my promise.¡±


    After hearing what I said Cicera¡¯s face turns pale. But I decide to postpone her punishment for another day because I like seeing how people wait in anxiety, and because it will take around 6 days to get to the Holy City of Thymel so we decide to leave as soon as we finished our breakfast.

 Ch.8 [Spice and Wolves]

    Ch.8


    We depart when it¡¯s little late in the morning after we finished our breakfast and preparation, even if I said preparation we just need to putting out the fire we used for cooking our breakfast. The reason we¡¯re so late in our departure is because of our eating speed, I meant who would have the appetite after seeing a body with its severed head a little while ago, especially the one who¡¯s head have been severed just a moment ago. Well I don¡¯t blame them for that, so while waiting for the two of them finish I make myself another serving of sandwich with grilled meat. And in total I finished two sandwiches while Donald and Cicera only managed to eat one for each of them, and we continued on our journey to the south.


    I asked Donald many things about the city and how it looks, I also asked him about the current lord of the city and why it¡¯s called a Holy City. Donald only answered several of my questions because he said he didn¡¯t know much about the city either, surprisingly Cicera open her mouth and answer some of my question, I guess she intend to get into my good side to avoid her punishment, sorry but I don¡¯t planning to back on my word so you will have your punishment sooner or later, I¡¯m just thinking what should the punishment be.


    She tells me about Dietrich Custe Arden, the Lord of the city who¡¯s also a Viscount. I asked her about his look, but she said she don¡¯t know because she never met him before, well that¡¯s a given considering where she lived. I also asked her about why the city called as Holy City of Thymel only to hear the same answer as Donald, apparently she also didn¡¯t know why it¡¯s called Holy City.


    We went on our journey to the south and during our way we also slay some of the monsters that appear in the way, well the one who slain them mostly are Donald and Cicera while I¡¯m just standing and watch them fighting one monster after another, there¡¯s quite number of monster showing up on the main road, there¡¯s one which looks like a bear but with extra two forearm, there¡¯s a boar with red mane, and there¡¯s also a huge praying mantis. I asked Donald whether the monsters frequently attack travelers on the road.


    ¡°Well, I wouldn¡¯t say they never attack people on the road.¡±


    ¡°But this is a rare occurrence, mostly the monsters always stay away from the main road because a lot of human using it.¡±


    ¡°This really is strange.¡±


    He said so after slay another red boar, I don¡¯t know the monster called but since it¡¯s red and looks like a boar I just called it red boar. Donald suggested that we should take the valuable part of the monster to sell in the city, but because it will take a lot of time to dismantle the monsters I refused his idea and we keep walking down the south while slaying several monsters that shows up in the main road. At night we do our routine of finding a suitable place to sleep and cook our dinner, while I summon five Hellhounds as watch dog. Finished with the dinner Donald and Cicera went to sleep early while I stay awake for more hours to practice.


    And on our second day there¡¯s barely any monster on the road, in fact we only encountered a single monster that day, it was a monkey-like monster with blue fur, but the bizarre part was that the monster has two tails. Donald and Cicera tried to hunt it down but, because the monster is jumping around from one tree to another, both Donald and Cicera failed to kill it because they only had sword and dagger with them, well it¡¯s only natural since both sword and dagger can¡¯t reach that far and the monkey is smart enough to keep its distance from them while throwing some kind of bluish ball from its hand. I don¡¯t know why, but maybe because the monkey is moving around while throwing the ball or maybe because Donald and Cicera is moving quite fast that the ball the monkey throws never hit them. Irritated because this cat and mouse play is keep going on and on for several minutes I decide to cast one of the basic Acolyte skill.


    ¡°[Holy Light]¡±


    The monkey fell with a thud sound on the ground I ended the cat and mouse play with just a single basic offensive skill from my Acolyte class. Both Donald and Cicera also jumped down from the tree, since both of them has been buff with my skills before so jumping up or down from a tree is an easy task. They walked towards me who¡¯s right now is standing and staring at the dead monkey.


    ¡°What is this thing?¡±


    I asked while poking the monkey with my feet.


    ¡°That¡¯s a Chimicipan.¡±


    ¡°A what?¡±


    Donald answered my question. Considering he used to be a bandit and lived in the woods I¡¯m sure he knows one or two things about monsters.


    ¡°A Chimicipan.¡±


    What¡¯s with the naming sense, it¡¯s complicated I will just call it blue monkey. Donald inspect the dead monkey as he suggested that we should take its fur to sell, while I would very much like to take its fur for collection I still decline Donald idea because it will takes time to dismantling the monkey, in fact I would like to collect some part of the monsters we killed yesterday but considering the distance between us and the Holy City is still far away we can¡¯t afford to waste more time by dismantling every monsters we kill and delayed our journey. So we keep walking down the south, leaving the dead monkey behind.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.

    James POV


    My name is James Donovan and I¡¯m what you called as a lucky man, why? Because at first I started my business only as a hobby, I started making small wooden sculpture out of my free time. I don¡¯t know how but my crafting seems already make its way into the city and some passerby merchants started to request my crafting. Because I was young and dumb back then I was thinking, why don¡¯t I sell them myself in the city, with that thought in my head I left the village with only small amount of handmade sculpture, surprisingly all of my wooden sculpture sells out on my first day, I keep the routine of making some sculpture in the village and sells them in the city, the reason I make my sculpture in the village is because I can get a good quality woods for my sculpture with cheap price. So I keep doing the routine of making the sculpture in my village and sell them in the city, and once the villagers know that I always going back and forth the city as a routine they started to ask me to help them sell their goods and long story short I now am a merchant, well it¡¯s not that grand of a merchant but I can say that I¡¯m quite wealthy, at least I can give my lovely kids and wife a good life.


    That¡¯s just a story from my younger years. Now, well right now I have a little bit of trouble in my hand now. I wait for good news in my room, it¡¯s not really my room actually, I currently staying in one of the inns in Rookwood village. It¡¯s funny how the current lord named all the villages in his territory based on its surrounding, just like my village, it¡¯s named Mira Village because it¡¯s the closest to the Mira Lake on the east and why this village named Rookwood village is obviously because it close to the Rookwood Forest, among the three village that stood close next to the forest this village is the only one get the Rookwood name while the other two up north gets random name, I don¡¯t remember the name of the second village up north, but they called the village farthest to the north as Border Village, they always called the most outskirt village as Border Village. Just when I¡¯m thinking about how people in the border living their lives with all those monster threat and bandits a knock came from the door.


    ¡°Sir, there¡¯s still no good news from the hunter guild they say that there¡¯s no single hunter accepted our request yet.¡±


    The man reported to me after I let him in, he¡¯s William, one of my slaves even if he¡¯s a slave I prefer to call them as worker and in total I have 3 workers, I bought them to support me with my business but William is the first worker I bought and I trusted him the most, well it¡¯s not exactly because he¡¯s the first worker I bought that I trust him but because there¡¯s this magic contract that make him do everything I tell him to do, so if I demand him to tell the truth he¡¯ll tell me the truth willingly or not and because of that I feel reassured leaving some of my workload to him.


    Earlier this day I told him to go to the Hunter Guild to see if there¡¯s any progress on my request, but after hearing the report I guess everything I was doing is resulting in vain, I tried to raise the rewards to escort my two carriages several times but there¡¯s still no one wanted to accept my request, is it related to the rumors. I¡¯ve been delayed for almost three days and I can¡¯t delay any longer so I decide to leave in the morning, if I delayed by another day some of the food will begin to rot when they reach the city even if I already taking some measurement by using some ice magic stone but still they don¡¯t last forever and if my calculation is right, the stone will lose its power in another four days or less so we¡¯re pretty much still in the safe zone if we depart in the next morning since it will only take three days, but if we hurried we could reach the city in two days ride but after considering all the possibilities it would be best to conserve the horses stamina in case of some unexpected thing to happen with the absence of our escorts.


    I prepared all the necessary documents for when we enter the city and put them in my bag along with some money to enter the city, I separate them from other documents so I can get into the city faster. After separating all the documents to their needs I went to the inn stables to find my workers which currently tending to the horses. I told them to get something to eat when they finished taking care of the horses and hand some money to William, I also told them to rest earlier because we¡¯re going to leave the village very early in the morning even if they¡¯re workers I still treat them nicely. I leave them to get something to eat myself after ensuring all of my horses are in good conditions, after eating my meal I went into my room and checked if I miss something before I leave tomorrow, after checking that I don¡¯t miss a single thing and all the documents are in their place I order some hot water to clean myself and went to sleep, even if the sky is not dark yet I still tried my hardest to fall asleep and roughly around thirty minutes later I finally fall asleep.


    In the next morning when the sun is not up yet I already ordered hot water and started to wipe myself with warm towel, soon after I finished cleaning myself a knocking sound came from the door. It was William along with the other two they¡¯re here to transport all the documents to the carriage so I let them in as I get dressed. They transported the documents one by one as I went downstairs to finished all of the payment during my stay in the inn I also order simple, take away breakfast for four and got four simple sandwiches in return, this is the best inn in the village and yet they still served sandwich as breakfast, I guess you can always be surprised if you stay for some time in other village but never in your own, I meant two days ago I saw people get killed while the other just watch and a woman throwing people around as if they¡¯re nothing.


    The sun is just up a little when William and the other two finished transporting the documents into one of the carriages just about time they open the village gates, I gave them the remaining three sandwiches because I already eat one. I climb up on a carriage with my documents and inedible goods in it and sat next to Anton one of my other workers who¡¯s already sitting on the carriage holding the reins, I took the reins and told him to eat his sandwich first. I looked back to give signal to William who¡¯s riding on the carriage filled with food along with Julius that we¡¯re about to depart, after seeing him nod I drove my carriage down to the village gate in the south.


    During the first hours of the day we drive the carriage steadily until noon where we take our break to fill our stomach, and today menu is just the same as usual. It was just a dried meat and some hard bread both are the best combination for when you travel because they can fill your belly quick, I could just get the food from the carriage and cook them but they¡¯re goods for sell so we have to make do with just dried meat and hard bread. About an hour later we continue our journey but this time we drove our carriages a little bit faster than before because the farther you are from a village or a city the dangerous the surrounding will be, and just about two hour later a strange view come to our eyes.


    Lots and lots of monsters corpses lying on the ground, I signaled William to drive faster as I increased my own speed, I felt nervous because a corpse will attract a carnivores animal or even worse a monster and with these amount of corpses I¡¯m a bit surprised because there isn¡¯t single animal or monster around. And just when I¡¯m thinking I was lucky because there isn¡¯t single animal or monster around I saw something on a distance. Its wolves, I saw a pack of wolves eating a monster corpse on the side of the road. I took the reins from Anton and told him to tell William and Julius about the wolves as he takes his bow and arrows. Even if we travel without escort it doesn¡¯t meant that we will travel without weapons, we always carry our weapons even if we have people escorting us. And so with me holding the reins while Anton preparing to shoot his arrow, I charged towards the wolves hoping that they will ignore us as we passes by.
