《Vacation of a God》 Prologue - The Supreme God The Supreme God, the existence whose name is only known by a select few sits in his palace at the very center of the multiverse. Bored out of his mind. His latest creation the angels was a major success. The angels created to look over the multiverse hold immense power and loyalty but creating existences powerful enough to watch over higher Gods and all under him was a challenge even for the Supreme God. A hundred years have passed since the creation of angels and there is no one in the multiverse who hasn''t heard of them. Angels they look like humans with wings on their backs.Their beauty rivals the higher Gods. The wings on their backs are around 6ft in height with a wingspan of 5ft. Their bodies radiate divinity and they have the ability to hide or show a circular halo on top of their heads that gives of holy light. Their mere presence causes mortals to kneel. The Supreme God was preparing for his yearly meeting with angels. The private meeting was between the angels who supervise each universe and of course the Supreme One. The meeting would take place in a large conference room with a huge table in the shape of a rectangle. The Supreme God took his place at the end of the table. The table was made out of marble and was pure white. He was the last one to arrive in the room and none of the angels dared to make a noise while he walked to his seat to sit down. On his left and right sat his most trusted angels. On his right was the first angel to be created Angelica. 6''2 hourglass figure. She has crimson red hair with bright golden eyes. Her skin beautiful white one would think of her as the embodiment of perfection. As the most powerful angel she took the place of the Supreme Gods right hand woman. On his left was a male 6''4 muscular figure blond hair and blue eyes. His name Michael with bulging muscles and a strong powerful aura he was the commander of the angelic army. "Begin" said the Supreme God his voice which was pleasant to hear brought smiles to all the angels in the room. The meeting went as usual with each angel giving a quick report on the universe they where supervising. There was rarely any events that required the attention of Michael the commander never mind the Supreme God. Michael was a classic muscle head. He had a lot of pride and would always itch for a fight. His last fight was against the God of War Ares who went into a fit of rage. The fight lasted 6 days and 7 nights. Ares the God of War was one of the stronger Gods to exist to even fight toe to toe with him was a feat to admired never mind to win. When the multiverse found out that Michael wasn''t even the strongest angel under the name of the Supreme God the Gods of the universes where in uproar. The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. When the meeting finished the angels looked towards the Supreme God to confirm that the meeting had officially ended. They didn''t expect him to speak and were used to him ending the meeting with one word which was dismissed. "My angels" he spoke. Some of the angels even looked at him in shock. The only angels he ever spoke to was Angelica or Michael addressing them all was extremely rare. "I am going to go on a vacation to the world Eremel one of the worlds I created" said the Supreme God. The angels all looked at him with even more shock, most of them even had their jaws dropped! "You''re le-leaving us?" One of the angels accidentally shouted in horror. Angelica stood up and hit her fist on the table like a judge telling the court to be silent. "Silence! Watch you''re tone you''re in the presence of our lord!" The angel that spoke went pale. "Its fine, I have watched you all for a hundred years. Just like I intended you can run this place without me. None of the Gods plan to rebel as i have been watching them all for eons and there isn''t any other reason why you would require me to watch over you." Said the Supreme God. "My lord i understand you wont change your mind but I request you take a squad of my soldiers." Said Michael. You could hear the panic in his voice as this was the first time anything like this was happening. Michael knew his lord didn''t need protecting but offered anyway as he was still concerned and you could see it on his face. "Hmm... I planned to go alone but I can hear and see your concern." He said with a beautiful smile causing all of them slightly blush. "I think it would be fine if I take along Angelica. Don''t you agree?" He said. Michael looked at Angelica who had a beaming smile "Yes my lord" said Michael. "So its planned then Angelica go prepare for our departure. Michael continue leading the angels as you have. I will give you a ring of contact which you can use to contact me if my presence is needed. That is all for now dismissed" Said the Supreme God with a bright smile. Chapter 1 Eremel one of the few worlds I created. A world filled with mortals, mana, spirits and monsters. The first life I created has died out long ago. The world itself has one large continent which is surrounded by the oceans. The continent itself is divided into 4 sections. The land in the western section of the continent was human territory with many human empires and kingdoms. Humans are a race that are well balanced. A race usually born with one magic affinity, however there are a small number of humans born with more than one magic affinity. Humans were the most in number of all the races living in Eremel. The eastern section of the continent mostly consisted of elves. This part of the continent was filled with forests and beasts. The dense dangerous forests where a novice adventurer could easily lose his or her path, could easily face an early death. Which was a perfect home for the elusive elves. The elves a strong race both physically and magically, having a special racial affinity with nature and spirit magic. The only drawback as a race is that they take longer to mature and have a low chance of reproduction. The elves look like humans, with sharp pointy ears. The elves are seen as one the more beautiful looking races in Eremel. The southern section of the continent was filled mostly with plains and mountains. This side of the continent was filled with many different types of beastmen. The beastmen race with an appearance closely resembling a human animal characteristics. There are many different types of beastmen from fox, wolf, bear, cat and even bird types. Beastmen are stronger physically while being weaker at levelling magic. The beastmen also had many kingdoms and empires but there were a few types of beastmen that lived in seclusion like the elves with their tribes. The northern area of continent is known as the land of death. A land only the strongest venture in, a land only the strongest demonic beasts reside in. Land filled with death and mysteries. ¡°That is all I remember of Eremel, I wonder how much it has changed¡± Said the Supreme God to Angelica. Angelica and the Supreme God were both sat in his office drinking a cup of tea. After the Supreme God finished telling Angelica about Eremel she started to think about which continent they would first visit. ¡°My lord which continent will we be going to first?¡± she said a smile. ¡°That depends we cannot go down in our current forms we radiate too much of our divine aura¡± he said back with an equally charming smile. ¡°My lord I am guessing you want to blend in with one of the races?¡± she said. He smiled and she spoke again. ¡°Elf, Human or beastman, hmm¡­ there must be more than these three races.¡± ¡°Yeah, there are many races, some have merged and hidden themselves in society like the vampires, werewolves and even demons like the succubus. There also are the dwarfs with their underground cities or even cities built into the mountains¡± He said.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. They both thought for a little while and made their decisions after finishing their cup of tea. Angelica decided to be vampire princess and Supreme God decided to be a High Elf. Both an extremely rare sub-race. Sub-races are a variation of a specific race.

¡°Now that we have chosen which race we will be, we also need to decide where to descend. I also need to think of a name.¡± said the Supreme God with a hand on his chin staring into his empty cup. Angelica swiftly stood up and began to pour more tea into her lord¡¯s cup, she had a conflicted expression on her face as she knew her lord needed a name to interact with mortals. Nevertheless how could anyone casually address the Supreme God the ruler of all multiverses! The Supreme God saw Angelica¡¯s facial expression, seeing her worry over something so trivial made him feel warm inside. He smiled whilst walked over to her. Angelica who was sat down on her seat was lost in thought, she didn¡¯t even register that her lord was right by her side. By the time she realised, the Supreme God was patting her head with a warm smile on his face. ¡°I know you feel conflicted, how about you help me choose my name.¡± He said while sitting down next to her. Angelica slightly blushing ¡°My lord assisting you in choosing your name is... is.¡± He gently smiled at her stopping her in her tracks. ¡°Hmm¡­ how about Raizel, no? What about Micah? Ooh I¡¯ve got it! What do you think of Skyler?¡± Angelica eyes opened wide, "perfect" she whispered whilst nodding her head several times. ¡°It¡¯s decided then Skyler it is.¡± He said with an excited smile. Chapter 2 Angelica¡¯s POV
Todays the annual meeting with our lord and my fellow companions. Every year we all get together to report to our lord about the conditions of the universes we supervise. I wonder if anything big is going on. Since the time of my creation our lord has never had the need to take action. However I have seen how the other deities act around our lord. He must be strong, strong enough that even the higher gods bend the knee at their own free will. When I was created I knew my purpose. To serve my lord as his right hand. To be his sword and shield. To slay his enemies and protect his back in battle, but those days never came. He already had everything so what purpose do I serve? Michael the left hand of my lord serves as the commander of his armies. I want to do more. I want to prove my worth, I want my lord to be proud of me. I hope that an opportunity arises at today¡¯s meeting. The meeting was disappointing, there were only reports of minor skirmishes between the angels and evil doers. In some universes the devils would oppose the angels. In others it was the fallen titans and fallen gods all wishing only for carnage. It looks like it¡¯s going to be another year of training and standing around. A quiet sigh life my mouth. I glanced towards my lord and thought, ¡°Even my lord looks bored I wonder what¡¯s going through his mind.¡± ¡°My Angles.¡± A powerful yet calm voice echoed in the conference room. My jaw dropped and shock filled my face. Does he have a mission for us! I thought. My thoughts where cut off when my lord continued to speak. ¡°"I am going to go on a vacation to the world Eremel one of the worlds I created.¡± His voice one again echoed throughout the room. Some of the angels gasped and shock once again filled the room. "You''re le-leaving us?" One of the angels said in horror. I stared at my lord and realised everyone was losing their composure. I have to act, I can¡¯t let them lose composure in front of my lord!! I stood up and slammed my fist "Silence! Watch you''re tone you''re in the presence of our lord!" I said with a calm and collected expression.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! I had a quick glance at my lord and saw his gentle smile. Is he really leaving? I thought. I should ask to accompany him surely he will accept. Just as I was about to open my mouth Michael spoke. "My lord I understand you won¡¯t change your mind but I request you take a squad of my soldiers." As soon as Michael finished speaking. I wanted to volunteer myself right away but I saw my lord was about to speak and held my tongue. "Hmm... I planned to go alone but I can hear and see your concern." He said with a beautiful smile causing all of them slightly blush. "I think it would be fine if I take along Angelica. Don''t you agree?" he said with a happy smile. WH-WHAAT!! I almost screamed out loud. My lord dismissed us all and told me to prepare for the journey. I walked to my room with a calm and cooled demeanour, as the right hand of our lord I cannot lose face by losing control of my emotions in front of everyone. When I was done preparing for our travels I went back to my lord¡¯s office. I prepared food, clothes and other necessities and stored them in a storage ring. Of course we don¡¯t require food as divine beings created by our lord we don¡¯t wither away with age or fall sick to diseases. ¡°My lord the preparations are complete, if you don¡¯t mind me asking could you tell me about Eremel¡± I asked with curiosity. My lord spoke about Eremel told me all about the species that lived there and where they were situated at. We then discussed which races we would choose to be. I didn¡¯t know which race to pick, they all had their pros and cons. My weapon of choice are twin daggers, quick kills in and out before the enemy realises. Of course I have also mastered the sword. In the time that I have served my lord I have fought in many wars to train myself. From facing entire armies alone with two rapiers in hand to slaughter all in my path, to sneaking into enemy fortresses to perform quick assassinations of high priority target. Knowing this my lord gave the suggestion of the vampire sub-race vampire princess. The race allows me to use blood magic allowing me to conjure weapons from my own blood or the blood of my foes. The sub-race would allow me to use many different weapons including blood itself. Just imagining poisoning all my enemies with a conjured weapon made from blood magic sounds powerful. The choice is very appealing and suits me very well. As expected of my lord. I smiled and told my lord it was a good choice and I would go with his recommendation and stick with it. My lord then chose his own race. The high elf sub-race. He never told me why he chose this specific race. I guess I¡¯ll have to wait and find out. Chapter 3 Now that I¡¯ve chosen the name Skyler, Angelica and I had a few more tasks to do before we left. I had to create a ring of contact for Michael. I also needrf myself and Angelica to adapt our bodies for the mortal world. The location of our descending would be somewhere over the human continent. I first decided that we should adapt and change our bodies. Angelica decided to change first. She decided to keep most of her appearance the same. She still had her crimson red hair and changed her eye colour to crystal blue to match mine. She kept her height and her figure the same but she had to hide her wings. ¡°You still look just as amazing¡± I said while laughing. I turned around and started to think about changing my body. My divine aura was too powerful so I supressed it, only my angels and the higher gods can withstand my presence and aura. I thought that changing how i look was a good idea. It would become boring and annoying if people started bending knee while im on vacation. Next i decided my height would be the same as Angelica''s, and I also kept my crystal blue eyes. Then it came the time to change my hair from my iconic golden blonde to a chilling frost white, which flowed beautifully in the breeze. I checked out my ears to see if they were really pointy and they were which felt kinda weird. I wonder how long Angelica is going to stare, she either really likes this look or thinks it¡¯s weird. I thought smiling at her. She noticed I was staring back and went bright red matching her crimson hair. I couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at her reactions. Who would think that she¡¯s the strongest angel in existence! Now that my body is ready I need to create the rings of contact. Since I am the God of creation and destruction creating a ring isn¡¯t a difficult task to accomplish. To begin I need to imagine what shape the ring would be and how large it would be. After this I began to think about what materials the ring should be made from. I decided to quickly get this over with and used an easy to use metal. Meteoric iron, also known as sky iron one of my favourite metals to use. The metal conducts magic really well and is strong physcally too. The base colour of the ring was jet black. The ring was circular in shape and had a line of mana crystals running through the middle. The mana crystals would be coloured bright crimson red when the ring was not in use. When the ring would be in use the mana crystal would change colour to a dazzling gold. For the rings to work across extremely long distances I blessed the rings with my divine magic, this gave the ring a spectacular shining aura and also made it a divine artefact.Stolen novel; please report. With the rings complete I gave one of the rings to Angelica, who then went to hand the ring to Michael, and to inform him of my new name, Skyler. While Angelica went on my errand I decided to make a one way portal to Eremel. I only need a temporary portal to transport myself and Angelica. It only took a few seconds to create a portal to Eremel, which was across the universe. A few minutes later Angelica had returned and we were both ready for our new adventure to begin. The portal would lead us somewhere in the human continent. Since I haven¡¯t been there since the creation of the planet the location of teleportation would be random. Before stepping through the portal I reached out and held Angelica¡¯s hand. ¡°In case we get separated.¡± I said with a smile. We stepped through the portal and our vision went white. A few moments later we discovered we were in some kind of plain field. The sky was dark and the stars where shining down on the land. The flowers where reflecting the star light accompanied with a beautiful starry night, the both of us stood still dazed at the spectacular view. Two moons were slowly creeping up the sky adding to the view. We both had our eyes adjusted to the night. This was thanks to night vision and allowed us to see the surroundings clearly. Not realising that I was still holding onto Angelica¡¯s hand we started to walk to a good location to set up camp for the night. Our first night in Eremel would be spent camping under the stars. Chapter 4 I woke up to the sound of crackling fire and the smell of food. ¡°Something smells delicious.¡± I cleaned myself and my clothes with a snap of my fingers and walked outside. I saw Angelica sat by the campfire, she had cooked up food she had stored in her storage ring. Primordial dragon meat, the aroma alone would make any man drool. After eating Angelica stored all of our belongings and we prepared for our journey. ¡°My lord, I scouted the immediate area. The area around here is surrounded by forests for tens of miles.¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Is there any indications of intelligent life nearby?¡± ¡°Yes my lord, there is a road to the west of our location.¡± We started walking towards the road Angelica had found. The forest itself was dark as the sunshine couldn¡¯t penetrate the canopy. After walking for a few minutes we arrived at the road. The road was worn down and was abandoned. We now had a choice to make, which way would we go, north or south. ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s go north just a gut feeling.¡± I said with a smile. We started to run north, we didn¡¯t run as fast as we could as that would leave a path of destruction in our trail. We ran for a couple miles and the road became less and less maintained. Eventually the trail ended, however the forest was also getting thinner. I decided that we should continue going in the same direction and eventually we came to another clearing. Suddenly my perfect hearing picked up the sound of twigs snapping behind us. Angelica had a slightly slower reaction, but she also turned the same way. Damn I have no weapon suitable for the mortal world, unless I want to cause mass destruction. If this is an enemy I¡¯m going to have to use my good old fashioned fists. I thought with a smirk. Angelica turned her head towards me and slightly nodded her head. ¡°I guess you want to test your new weapons¡± I said with a chuckle. Angelica smiled and pinched the end of her finger tips with her nails drawing blood. With her blood drawn she made two crimson red daggers. The curved daggers resembled a karambit knife, but with longer blades. The rustling got louder and then suddenly stopped. The forest became deathly silent. ¡°It¡¯s coming.¡± I smiled. The creature causing the sound pounced towards Angelica. A move that would only end its life. Angelica thrusted her dagger and sliced the creature in half. The cut was so clean blood only started to spill after the body hit the floor. We both kept our guard up and checked what had attacked us. The creature was a black panther with huge teeth and claws. We still had our guard up but decided it was alone and prepared to move on. ¡°My lord, should we skin the panther and store its meat. It might come in useful if we find a town or city.¡± ¡°Good idea, we should be able to sell the materials later and see this world¡¯s currency.¡± Angelica dissolved her daggers and conjured a carving knife from the panther¡¯s blood. She skinned the panther and stored the materials in her ring. Before we moved on Angelica absorbed all the blood on the ground, making it look like the panther never existed. We continued our journey northwards and came across several carriages and caravans heading in the same direction. Soon we came upon a city. The city itself was surrounded by strong walls towering high. The gate at the front was manned by guards checking people¡¯s identities. ¡°I can see them using a crystal ball, I¡¯m guessing they are checking people¡¯s statuses to see if they have any criminal records.¡± ¡°My lord, we could just jump over the wall, or we could change our status.¡± ¡°Other than being divine beings I don¡¯t see a reason to hide ourselves do you?¡± I said with a bright smile. ¡°Also Angelica calling me ¡®lord¡¯ may cause people to misunderstand my status in human society, just call my Skyler, before I had no name so I put up with it, but now I have chosen a name and as my right hand you should use my name.¡± Angelica¡¯s was speechless, she felt proud being acknowledged as his right hand, but she also felt conflicted as the person in front of her stood on top of everything. Casually addressing him was this ok? Was she overthinking this? She didn¡¯t know what to think, Noticing her expression I started patting her head giving her confirmation and saw her face blooming into a smile. We once again started walking towards the gate.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
Skyler and Angelica walked towards the gate. They gathered a lot of attention from their surroundings just because of their precense. The people waiting in line subconsciously gave way to the pair. The rest gathered looking to see what the commotion was about. Instead they discovered a beautiful male elf walking along side a gorgeous woman. The elf had perfect facial features that made him look like a doll. His silvery white hair was flowing gracefully in the wind. He was tall, handsome and walked with confidence catching the eyes of all around him. If he had hidden his ears most of the croud would have thought of him as a noble. The gorgeous woman that was walking alongside the elf had crimson hair flowing like fire. Bright blue eyes clear as the sky. Some guys where drooling at the sight. There was even a wife fighting with her husband as he was staring too long. The guard dealing with people entering the gates noticed the commotion happening in line. He automatically assumed a high priority person was about to enter the city. As he saw no fancy carriage he assumed the commotion was about well-known adventurers instead of a noble. The guards got ready to receive the adventurers as they wanted their entry to be as smooth as possible. When the ones of interest came into view the guards saw an elf and a human. He had never heard or seen this duo, and with their level of beauty they would definitley be well-known and remembered. Because of their unknown origins the guards didn¡¯t know how to proceed. They decided to treat them as adventurers. The guards where positive that the pair were adventurers and not emissaries or nobles from another country. This is because they would have been surrounded by guards and would definitely have a carriage. The guard meeting the pair was nervous, he had never seen such a perfect couple. He walked over to them with a stiff posture. ¡°Good day s-sir, m-madam. Welcome to the city of Zeah, do you have any identification on you?¡± ¡°Unfortunately we don¡¯t have any identification.¡± Spoke Angelica. The guard looked stunned for a moment then snapped out of his daze. ¡°Sir, madam please follow me.¡± The nervous guard took the two adventurers to the crystal ball. The ball was in a sectioned off area which was easy to access. The crystal ball was manned by a mage wearing blue robes. The mage himself also became stunned at the appearance of his next visitors. By the time he recovered they were right next to him. The guard told the mage that the visitors had no identification so they had to use the crystal ball. Angelica went first to use the crystal ball. The mage manning the ball became gobsmacked with his mouth open wide.

Vampires themselves where rare to find, seeing one in the light of day was preposterous. Meeting a vampire princess however wouldn¡¯t even happen in a lifetime, and the mage was staring at one right in front of him. Meeting a vampire princess was amazing in itself but the mage forgot to breath when reading through the titles/achievements. What kind of monster was infront of him. Achieving any one of these titles would take a lifetime of hard work and she has several! Vampires were not a hated race in Eremel. A vampire could feed on another person as long as they had consent. Without consent vampires would be automatically branded as criminals by the system and then would be hunted down by other vampires or adventurers. Before the mage could say or do anything else the elf walked up to the ball. The mage wasn¡¯t expecting a mind blowing status from the elf, he thought that he couldn¡¯t be shocked any further.

The mage thought he was hallucinating. A high elf no way. He started rubbing his eyes totally forgetting about Skyler. A high elf was just as rare as a vampire princess. When he read it again it was the same. The titles and anchievements nearly gave the mage a heart attack. Not one but two monsters! The high elf and vampire princess were free to go. The mage and guard where shocked at what just happened and couldnt move an inch. All they could do was stare at the two as they continued to enter the city of Zeah. Chapter 5 We entered the city of Zeah, and the streets were full of life. From humans to beastmen everyone was busy. Looking closer we realised the atmosphere was too cheerful. Was something going on? ¡°First things first we need a place to stay, and for that we need to find a place to sell the panther materials¡± I say to Angelica. Angelica nods her head and walks to the closest person to ask for directions. The person she was asking was a woman carrying a wooden staff, she was also wearing white robes and clearly gave the magician vibe. The woman was flustered by us suddenly stopping her. I let Angelica ask the questions while I stood behind Angelica and just smiled. The woman told us the location of the adventurer¡¯s guild and even offered to guide us there as she was going there herself. We took her up on her offer. After walking for a while we came upon a massive building. The front of the building had a huge logo of two longswords crossing over. Opening the huge doors like it was nothing I entered the building with two ladies behind me. Inside the building was split in half. One side was the restaurant/bar and the other side was the reception. The reception section was filled with many tills side by side. The female mage went her separate way as she joined up with her friends. Angelica and I went said our goodbyes and went to the line for the reception. The line wasn¡¯t long as there were many receptionists working efficiently. After waiting around 10 minutes it was finally our turn. We approach the free receptionist. The female receptionist was a female beastman of the cat race. She was tall around 6 ft. If I had to guess she looked around 50 years old and gave out a motherly aura. ¡°Welcome to the adventurer¡¯s guild. How can I help you today?¡± She said with a business smile. ¡°Hi there, we would like to sell some monster parts and we were told this was the place to go.¡± (Skyler) ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you two around, do you need to register with the guild.¡± (Receptionist) Angelica replied with nod, and the receptionist handed us a form. Angelica and I know every single language as divine beings, so answering the form wasn¡¯t hard. The form asked for our name and what we specialise in along with other things. I put myself down as a magician and a craftsman. Angelica wrote down swordsman. After filling in the form which only took a few minutes we went back to the receptionist. She took in our forms and then asked told us the fee for joining the guild. ¡°The fee for joining the guild is 5 silver coins.¡± (Receptionist) ¡°Could you deduct the fee from the monster materials we are going to sell?¡± (Angelica) ¡°Yes that¡¯s fine, may I ask which type of monster materials you have?¡± (Receptionist) ¡°Sure, we killed a monster in the forest near the city.¡± (Angelica) The receptionist and the surrounding quietened down. All eyes were on the new rookies who just signed up as adventurers. ¡°M-may I ask which monster you two killed?¡± (Receptionist) ¡°Umm¡­ Yh it was a black panther.¡± (Angelica) ¡°Uwah the rookies are claiming to have killed the party killer.¡± Someone shouted out in the background. The receptionist had her eyes wide open. ¡°C-can I see the b-body?¡± (Receptionist) ¡°The panther is too large to show you right here, do you have a room for this?¡± (Skyler) ¡°A-ah you¡¯re right please follow me¡± (Receptionist) We followed the receptionist into the back. The room was large with a large table in the middle. As we entered the room a few other people also walked into the room. ¡°These are the dismantlers that work for the guild.¡± (Receptionist) ¡°But I have dismantled the corpse already.¡± Angelica said scratching her cheek with her finger. The atmosphere of the room dropped instantly. The dismantlers were disappointed thinking the rookies had not only took their job but probably messed it up too. Angelica used her ring of storage to pull out the materials of the panther. The panthers fur coat, meat, bones and teeth/claws were all organised on the table. The dismantlers and the receptionist were so shocked they didn¡¯t even question where the monster parts came from. The dismantling of the panther however was perfect. Normally adventurers don¡¯t dismantle corpses as they lose money if the job is done badly. Of course adventurers would take the easy materials like teeth and occasionally bones leaving the rest behind to rot. The dismantlers left the room with the disappointment of not earning anything, but they were also excited as they saw such a clean job done on the panther also known as party killer. Hearing the name party killer caught both of our attentions. Seeing our expressions change the receptionist started to fill us in on the panther. ¡°The reason why this panther is called the party killer is because of its stealth. The beast picks off members of a party one by one. Truly an apex predator with its silent and deadly kills. A party not accustomed to working together will be wiped out easily by this monster¡± (Receptionist) The receptionist then took us back to her desk. She started to explain the rules and ranking of the guild. The adventurers and monsters start off with rank F. Rank F is the rank of an average human with no combat experience. The ranks then go up all the way to SSS. No one on Eremel is rank SSS. The guild also had a couple of rules. Adventurers would have to obey the laws and any criminals would automatically lose their adventurer status. Adventurers would also have to help a city or town if they were in its vicinity. This would only be done in emergency situations, like a monster invasion. Angelica and I agreed to these terms. As we claimed to kill the party killer the guild would have to test us in order to determine our ranks. The guild could check our mana level with crystal ball similar to the ones used at the city gates. The crystal ball this time would change colour with the amount of mana fed into it. The colours represented the ranks and went from a faint white (F), white (E), green (D), blue ?, purple (B), orange (A) to a bright gold (S). Anything above golden would break the crystal ball and this was very rare. They also gave the option of a combat trial for those with low mana levels.Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. ¡°Angelica I¡¯ll be taking the crystal ball trial, what about you?¡± (Skyler) ¡°I¡¯ll be taking the combat trial my lo.¡± Realising that she went back to her old habits of calling Skyler her lord Angelica quickly closed her mouth and started to blush. The receptionist and those listening in however saw this in a different light. They assumed Angelica would finish the sentence with ¡®my love¡¯ which gave them all huge grins. The trial of combat would be held in the training room under the main building of the guild. Heading downstairs the receptionist told Angelica what to expect. She was to fight a training instructor and see how well she would do against him. I started to smirk and felt sorry for this training instructor that was about to fight Angelica. Not that it would be a fight, more like a one sided beating. We arrived at the training room. The room itself was huge and split into two sections. The first section was a gym and the second was a space for people to fight each other for practise. In the second section there was a big burly man with a scar across his face. Compared to everyone else in the room anyone could tell he was the most experienced adventurer. Seeing to rookies the man smiled. ¡°So which one of these pretty flowers will be fighting me HA HA HA.¡± He said with an annoying laugh. ¡°Let¡¯s get this over with¡± Angelica said stepping forward whilst brimming with confidence. The man noticed the change in atmosphere and got serious. He looked towards the receptionist and she stepped forward to be the judge of the fight. The receptionist spoke in a loud and clear voice which also attracted the attention of all the other adventurers in the room. ¡°The winner will be determined by surrender or the loss of consciousness. Killing is not allowed as you will be disqualified immediately. Weapons and magic are allowed¡±. (Receptionist) The receptionist then glanced at both fighters. Seeing both were ready she shouted. ¡°BEGIN!¡± Angelica immediately took off and rushed towards the instructor. She was fast, insanely fast. In less than a second she was already next to the instructor. As a reflex the instructor automatically jumped backwards to evade Angelicas attack. Unfortunately he was too slow. Angelica gave the man an upper cut to the guts instantly winding him. Finding it hard to breath he went into full defence mode. After the punch to the guts Angelica continued her barrage of punches. The instructor had his arms crossed in front of his chest trying to block all attacks, but this backfired on him. He never thought the barrage of punches would break his arms instead. Fully panicking and out of options the instructor immediately surrendered and fell to the floor losing consciousness. Everyone except for Skyler had their mouths and eyes gaping wide open. The instructor was an A rank adventurer. Sure he never used his sword but that was because he never got a chance to. Everyone could see that Angelica held back. Her barrage of punches had less power than her initial punch and this was clearly seen by all. The A rank adventurer was defeated in less than 10 seconds and his opponent didn¡¯t even go all out! The receptionist so dazed and shocked at the events that had occurred she never even announced the end of the match. ¡°Victory is mine.¡± Angelica said calmly walking towards Skyler. The initial shock had now turned into speculation. The adventurers who had watched the fight were now trying to figure out who this red haired beauty was. Seeing that Skyler was the shot caller of the two, other adventurers were trying to figure how strong he was. The receptionist snapped out of the shock but now she didn¡¯t know how to continue. After the fight the instructor would allocate a rank to the adventurer. There were times when the instructor lost but this loss was nothing like those times. Clearly Angelica was above rank A, but could she be rank S or maybe even above that? Not knowing how to proceed she decided to leave the decision to the guild master. She led Angelica and Skyler back upstairs and went ahead of them to the guild masters office calling him out. The instructor who had broken arms and broken ribs was immediately healed and also taken to the guild master. The guild masters room was like a luxury office. He had an expensive desk with many monster trophies around the room. The room was full of his achievements. In the guild masters room the receptionist and instructor sat on both of his sides. They briefly described what a monster Angelica was and show she overpowered the instructor like it was a joke. Seeing this the guild master became interested in the pair and made the decision of measuring Angelica¡¯s mana level. If her level was orange then she would be given rank S. This was because her combat abilities where clearly higher than rank A and if her mana level was at rank A she would be definitely be stronger than rank A. The trio thought the pair could become a valuable asset to the guild. Having powerful members protecting the cities they travel to was really important. Agreeing to the ranking decision, the trio went ahead to the room holding the crystal ball. The receptionist then left to go and get Angelica and Skyler. When the two arrived at a room that was empty. The room only had a pedestal in the middle which held a crystal ball. Also inside the room was an old man and the instructor. The old man had a white beard reaching his upper chest. His face had aged but you could see he was full of wisdom. He wore fancy robes with intricate stitching, giving a noble aura. He stood up straight and welcomed both Angelica and I with a calm but powerful voice. ¡°Welcome to the adventurer¡¯s guild, my name is Dreyfus and I¡¯m the guild master.¡± ¡°My name is Skyler and this is Angelica¡± (Skyler) Angelica and Skyler realised they didn¡¯t know the receptionists name yet and both of them looked at her. Taking it as her cue to introduce herself the receptionist spoke with a nervous laugh. ¡°Haha my name is Samantha. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier I was so shocked by the panther you guys brought I forgot.¡± At this point the training instructor also introduced himself. ¡°I¡¯m Jin the training instructor.¡± ¡°How much mana do I give it?¡± Asked Angelica suddenly grabbing everyone¡¯s attention. Grabbing the crystal ball Angelica started pouring her mana. All eyes were on the crystal ball which was rapidly changing colours. *crack* ¡°Oops.¡± Angelica said innocently with a nervous smile. Skyler started to chuckle while the guild members where frozen in shock and awe. What kind of monster is she? Unable to hold it in the training instructor asked Skyler. ¡°You look like you call the shots are you stronger than h-her?¡± Skyler just laughed and brushed of his question with a vague answer. ¡°My mana would also break the ball.¡± Dreyfus gave Samantha a nod which was a signal. Seeing this Samantha left the room. Samantha brought in a second crystal ball and handed it over to Skyler. Skyler poured in his mana and the ball shattered instantly. The trio of guild members thought they couldn¡¯t be shocked any harder. If Angelica was a monster then Skyler was devil. Getting over the shock which took a couple of minutes Dreyfus began to speak. Samantha once again left the room. ¡°Congratulations both of you. Taking both trials into account I give you the rank of S as adventurers. As you have such a high rank and you have just joined the guild we will be keeping an eye on your guild related activities. I wish you luck on your adventure.¡± As he finished his mini speech Samantha came back into the room with two golden badges. She then explained what the badges were and what they could do. The badges served as identification and told others of your rank. The badges could also be used to by the guild to contact you if the city you¡¯re in needs help. This feature activates in all badges within a certain range of the city in trouble. ¡°Almost forgot, the reason why you both came here in the first place.¡± (Samantha) Samantha reached out to Angelica and handed over 4 gold coins along with 95 silver coins. ¡°Samantha could you tell me about the currency used in this region?¡± (Angelica) Samantha put on her business smile and explained that 100 copper coins made 1 silver coin. 100 Silver coins made 1 gold coin, and finally 100 gold coins made 1 platinum coin. Finishing our business at the guild we decided to find a place to eat and sleep for the night. Chapter 6 It was evening when we left the adventurers guild. The sky was turning dark and the amount of people outside decreased. The people were preparing for something, looks like a festival I wonder who or what for. We quicken our pace towards the inn. If there really was a festival incoming then the inns would be full from the influx of people. Hoping we weren¡¯t too late we arrive at the inn The Sleeping Bear. Entering the inn we were hit with the aroma of food. ¡°Welcome customers! Are you here to eat or to stay the night?¡± (Inn lady) Turning towards the voice there was the inn lady. A slightly chubby woman with glossy black hair. On top of her head were two small animal ears. She was bear-kin. ¡°Hi, we would like to stay the night please.¡± (Angelica) ¡°You¡¯re in luck! We only have one room left.¡± (Inn lady) The inn lady guided us towards the desk and told us the pricing for our stay. The stay cost us 10 silver coins a day and came with a meal and access to public baths. The inn lady then guided us to our room. The room was large and had all the necessary furniture. Instead of staying awake till morning we both decided it would be best to sleep. Although we didn¡¯t need to sleep, but staying awake for the next ten or more hours with nothing to do would be extremely boring and put us to sleep anyway. Laying down on the bed I started to get comfortable but then I came to a realisation. ¡°Angelica! Do you want me to make an extra bed?¡± (Skyler) ¡°E-eh, n-no it¡¯s f-fine plus there no room for an e-e-extra b-bed anyway.¡± (Angelica) Laying down on the left side of the bed, I try to remember the last time I had any intimacy with someone. Realising all I have done in the eons I have been alive is nothing but work, I smile wryly at myself. My position didn¡¯t really help either. Other than the angels who came to my side only recently, others kept themselves away because of my power/position. Personally I don¡¯t see why everyone¡¯s afraid, sure I can destroy a universe without putting in any effort but I would never do it. Well I wouldn¡¯t do it without reason. Closing my eyes I decide to lose myself in my thoughts.
ANGELICA POV It was the end of the first day my lord spent outside his home. I kept a close watch on him and saw how he genuinely liked exploring new places. Entering the city today he was full of curiosity as to who and how the people lived here. At the adventurers guild I saw how my lord was proud of me when I easily defeated that man. While everyone else was shocked at my abilities to beat that man in such a short time, my lord knew the outcome and had a proud smile upon his face. Walking back over to him and seeing his smile I wish I could freeze that moment in time forever, but I¡¯m sure more opportunities will arise.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. We then headed towards the inn, we guessed there was going to be a festival occurring in the near future. So we hurried our steps hoping to still get a room. Arriving at the inn we got lucky with obtaining the last room. The inn lady kept smiling at me which I thought was weird. We headed to our room which was on the large side. The bed was huge and could easily fit two to three people. On her way out the inn lady put her hand on my shoulder. I felt no evil or hostile intent so I let her continue as I was genuinely interested in what she had to say. ¡°I gave you the comfiest bed in the inn! Have fun!¡± She whispered in my ear with cheeky smile on her face. My face heated up instantly and I started to blush hard. Thinking my lord had heard the inn lady on her way out I looked over in his direction, but luckily he was laying on the bed getting comfortable. ¡°Angelica! Do you want me to make an extra bed?¡± My lord said suddenly as he realised there was only one bed. Uwahh what do I do?! How can I sleep on the s-s-same bed? But this chance might never come again! ¡°E-eh, n-no it¡¯s f-fine plus there no room for an e-e-extra b-bed anyway.¡± I said trying not to stutter. Laying down on my side of the bed I felt super nervous. I knew nothing would happen but I still felt hopeful. Gathering my courage I turned towards my lord hoping to see his peaceful sleeping face. Instead I saw him smiling, however it wasn¡¯t a smile someone makes when they are happy. Being by his side for so many years I knew that smile was full of loneliness. Every time I see him smile like this it hurts my chest. When he fell asleep I inched closer to his body hoping he wouldn¡¯t wake up. If anyone else was this close to him I¡¯m sure he would wake up, I¡¯m glad he pulls down his shields around me. My heart is beating stupidly fast. I fear he can hear it. I slowly reach for his glossy silver hair. ¡°So soft.¡± I mumble. Realising that I¡¯m getting carried with ruffling his hair I had to force myself to stop. Calming myself down I started to grow tired and sleepy. Without realising what I was doing I snuggled myself into the side of my lord and fell asleep.
Skyler POV Waking up my right side felt heavy and warm. I slowly opened my eyes only to be astounded by seeing Angelica snuggling with me. The angels I created naturally feel loyal to me. Each angel has their own emotions and personalities which they nurture themselves. Some angels are loving and merciful like Zadkiel the angel of mercy and others love carnage and destruction like Hasmed the angel of annihilation. Angelica she is an angel not known by many. The reason for that is whenever she appears she leaves behind no witnesses. The angels/her comrades call her the angel of slaughter. Right now the angel of slaughter was snuggled up in my arms. Staring at Angelicas cute face I realised something. I¡¯m not alone anymore. Angelica doesn¡¯t have to care about me as much as she does. As my right hand she only has to follow my orders she doesn¡¯t have to care for me as much as she does. Knowing this I felt incredibly warm inside. Looking out the window I can see that the sun will rise soon. As there was no reason to wake up early I felt like going back to sleep. Slowly turning on my side I face Angelica. Stroking her fluffy crimson hair I gently pull her into my embrace and let myself drift off to sleep once again. Little did I know the angel in my arms was wide awake shocked beyond belief that she was being hugged by her beloved lord. Her dreams coming true she fell asleep the happiest shes ever been. Chapter 7 It was morning and the sun was shining brightly. Slowly opening my eyes I see a pair of crystal blue eyes staring back at me. ¡°Good morning.¡± (Skyler) Watching Angelica get flustered I couldn¡¯t help but smile. My smile definitely didn¡¯t help as she started blushing even more. ¡°Good morning, what are we going to do today?¡± She said obviously trying to hide her embarrassment. I wanted to tease her more but decided not to overdo it. Playing along I let her lead the conversation. ¡°I want to adventure today, we might be S rank but we have no credibility. What about you? Is there something you want to do today?¡± (Skyler) ¡°Umm, I also want to do a quest, but I fear all the interesting ones might be taken by the time we get to the guild¡± she said dejected. ¡°Hmm¡­ You¡¯re right we should get going soon maybe we¡¯ll get lucky.¡± (Skyler) As I was still holding Angelica in my arms I slowly let go of her to get out of bed. I pretended not to see her looking disappointed. ¡°Yh we should¡± (Angelica) Getting up I equip my armour and head downstairs. We decide to have a meal at the inn before heading to the adventurer¡¯s guild. Taking a look around at the people eating here I see that the majority of the room was filled with humans. There was still a few beastman mixed in too. It looks like elves are a rare sight in the human kingdom. It would also explain why a lot of people keep glancing at my ears. Finishing our meal we head to adventurers guild. With our golden badges already equipped we head over to the quest board. Again we were ignoring the constant stares we kept receiving. The quest board was full of subjugation and escort quests. Most of the subjugation quests had no time limit especially the lower ranked quests. The higher ranked quests however would usually ask for more specific monsters and also come with a time limit. The escort quests as one would expect were about escorting people like merchants to different cities. Failing a quest would drop your credibility and failing several can will drop your rank. We decided to pick a subjugation quest. The quest was recently posted and was of higher rank. The quest had a one week time limit and was marked as urgent with a high gold reward. ¡°Subjugating a nest of wyverns. Should be perfect to test myself.¡± (Skyler) ¡°It¡¯s not too far from here either, we should get our hands on a map too. Knowing our surroundings would help.¡± (Angelica) Taking the quest sheet from the board we head over to Samantha who was at the receptionist desk.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°Hi there how may I help you two today?¡± (Samantha) ¡°We would like to take this quest, and do you sell maps here?¡± (Angelica) ¡°Wow taking an S rank quest straight away good luck! We do sell maps here too for a couple of silvers.¡± (Samantha) When Samantha registered the quest our badges gave of a light as confirmation. Next she handed us a map of the surrounding area. The nest of wyverns was in a rocky area deep within the forest we originally came from. Of course with our speed the quest would be finished rather quickly. Leaving the adventurers guild we headed straight for the forest. It took us a few minutes to leave the city and enter the forest. The forest was the same as last time. The sunlight was unable to light up the forest floor making it look eerie and unaproachable. Traveling further and further into the forest we started to approach the nest of wyverns. The quest gave the information that there was 7 wyverns and luckily for us they were all here. It looks like they were all feeding. I should be able to catch them off guard not that I need to worry but just in case. If my magic fails I¡¯ll be able to cast more than once before having to slaughter them the old fashioned way. Carefully approaching the wyverns I take the lead. Angelica was being overprotective and sticking close to me. The wyverns made their nest on a cliff at the base of a mountain. As we needed the bodies of the wyverns I decided to use wind magic. There are many ways to use mana, divine beings would normally manipulate mana by speaking the ancient language. The language itself uses and allows one to control mana, for example saying the word shine would cause my body to shine. The stronger the person is the stronger the effect. In my case anyone looking at me while I casted shine would go blind. The drawback of this type of magic casting is that holding back was difficult. Only Ancient and divine beings are able to speak the language. Mortals would be unable to understand what they are hearing. Alternatively one can also use their imagination. Of course this is weaker and the people who live in Eremel use this type of casting. Another drawback of this type of mana casting is that it takes too long to cast a spell as one would need to chant an incantation. Personally I combine the two. With the power of the ancient language and the imagination i am able to shape the spell as i want and add as much power as i need, I clearly get the best of both. The only other person who can do this other than me is the Goddess of magic Hecate. Holding my hand out I start to chant in the ancient language {Wind slash} Multiple blades of wind form around my hand and head straight for the necks of each wyvern. The blades of wind break the sound barrier and decapitate the wyverns in the blink of an eye, but it¡¯s not over yet. The blades continue on their path of destruction and I realised I put in way too much power. BOOM! ¡°Shit¡± (Skyler) The mountain that once stood tall is now barely standing at all. I felt a little bit of guilt pointlessly massacring all life on the mountain that used to be. Ending life for no reason was not my style. Of course if something deserves my wrath I won¡¯t hold back, I am the god of destruction for a reason. ¡°I¡¯m sure I held back.¡± I said with a wry smile. Looking back at the devastation I caused I promised myself that I would hold back even more. ¡°Haha lets skin and dismantle the bodies.¡± I said with an awkward smile. It took us an hour to fully dismantle all the materials from the wyverns. When we were done we decided to head back to the city. Looking back over my shoulder one more time I decide to use some of my divine powers. {Soul Scan} Scanning all the souls that were slaughtered on the mountain I see they were all beasts and no sentient lives were harmed or taken. We return on our journey back towards the city once again. Chapter 8 Entering the city I could see the festival was fully underway. From what I could see the people were celebrating something about heroes. Seeing the crowded streets I take Angelicas hand. ¡°So we don''t get separated.¡± I said with a smile.. Walking side by side we made our way through the streets towards the guild. The further inside the city we went the thicker the crowds were becoming. Finally out of the crowds we enter the guild. I would have left handing in the quest for another day, but we needed more money for future. I could just create an unlimited amount of gold but I only wanted to that only if it was necessary. Walking over to Samantha¡¯s desk we give her a wave calling her over. ¡°Samantha we¡¯re here to hand in our quest.¡± (Skyler) ¡°Huh? Wait you¡¯ve already completed it? In one day? You took care of all 7 of them?¡± She sounded shocked and barraged us with questions. Her shouting garnered the attention of the surrounding adventures who silently listened in on the conversation. ¡°Would you like proof here on in the back room?¡± Angelica said pulling out one of the wyvern heads. Gasps echoed throughout the room followed by mumbling. Already used to this we were lead into the back room by Samantha. Entering the back room we were greeted by a smirking guild master. ¡°Fufufu. Only you two can make Samantha lose composure like that.¡± (Dreyfus) Surprised to see the guild master Angelica wanted to get straight to the point about his surprise visit. ¡°Guild master Dreyfus, to what do we owe the pleasure?¡± ¡°Straight to the point huh, very well please take a seat.¡± (Dreyfus) Sitting down the atmosphere in the room turned serious. ¡°With the festivities outside you¡¯ve probably realised somethings going on right?¡± Seeing the pair nod their heads Dreyfus continued. ¡°The human kingdoms are going to be summoning heroes in the near future.¡± ¡°What does this have to do with us?¡± I asked puzzled. ¡°Well you see the heroes need someone to teach them magic and martial arts. As guild master I want to recommend the two of you.¡± (Dreyfus)The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Wouldnt the country be in charge of training the heroes?" Angelica asked confused. "The guards cannot be compared to S rank adventurers like yourselves. The A rank quest about the wyverns you two completed would have taken a small army an the both of you completed the quest in one day. Only our adventurers can be that capable." He spoke with pride. ¡°Sounds interesting I don¡¯t mind what about you Angelica.¡± (Skyler) ¡°You don¡¯t even need to ask I¡¯ll follow you anywhere.¡± She said with a proud smile. Standing up Drefus walked over to the two of us. ¡°Very well, I thank you both for taking this quest fufufu.¡± I could see how happy Dreyfus was as he was shaking my hand and laughing like a maniac. Samantha was just shaking her head in the background. Judging from her reaction this is probably a usual reaction from the old man. ¡°When will these heroes be summoned?¡± Angelica asked, I could see her becoming irritated with the guild masters laughing. Giving Angelica a warm smile as a thanks for bailing me out I join in on the conversation. ¡°Will they be summoned here in Zeah?¡± ¡°To answer both of your questions, the summoning will take place here in Zeah as soon as we had the teachers and other personnel ready.¡± (Dreyfus) ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t they summon them in the royal capital of this country?¡± If I remember correctly the map named this country as the holy kingdom or something. ¡°Good question, well there are three main reasons. The first is that goddess of this world personally made the summoning circle here thousands of years ago.¡± (Dreyfus) A lesser God? Hmm so someone rose through the ranks of mortality into divinity interesting. Becoming a god is a rare feat itself achieved once in a billion years. ¡°The next is that the forest to the south of the city. It holds monsters of all ranges. The F rank monsters at outskirts to the S rank monsters deep in the forest.¡± Wyverns are A rank monsters. The only reason it was an S rank quest was because of how many A rank monsters were together. Other than dragons I wonder what other creatures are classified as S rank. ¡°Finally the last reason. We don¡¯t who we are summoning. Zeah is an adventurer city the and strongest will be present in the city during the ceremony. If we summon an evil being and it escapes into the world you can only guess the consequences.¡± Dreyfus sighs and continues his speech. ¡°Only one thing is confirmed and that is that they are not from this world. There¡¯s a reason why we only summon in dire situations. The goddess has warned not to summon heroes for our own selfish desires.¡± (Dreyfus) Dire situation? Asking what the situation is would be too ignorant. I guess we will find out soon enough. The most interesting situation would be fighting a fallen god. If it¡¯s a higher fallen god maybe I¡¯ll finally have a fight that¡¯s lasts more than one move. My last fight with a higher fallen god ended within 5 hits before he started to beg for redemption. The challenge would be to fight without destroying Eremel in the process. Exciting truly exciting. Feeling Angelica softly patting my back I realise I almost released my bloodlust. That was close really close. I¡¯m glad she¡¯s here with me. Putting my arm around her waist and holding her tight I ask Dreyfus another question. ¡°I¡¯m guessing by your excitement we were the last people needed? If so where will the summoning take place?¡± ¡°The summoning will take place at the castle in the northern side of the city. Members of royalty and the high priest are already present. The summoning will take place tomorrow midday. When you arrive at the castle just show your badges to castle guards and you will be escorted to the summoning room.¡± (Dreyfus) Chapter 9 Making it back to the inn we paid the inn lady a month worth of rent. When we got back to our room I asked Angelica what her opinion was on the ¡°dire situation¡± these mortals were facing. As a god i have the power to read their memories but that is something that i prefer not to do. Reading minds is not a simple task to achieve. The mind is something delicate and can easily be damaged. So I had to figure this out by myself. Just because I¡¯m an all-powerful god doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m an all knowing god. I do have eons of experience but that can just as easily cause tunnel vision too. A different perspective on the matter wouldn¡¯t hurt. ¡°In my opinion I think a fallen god or titan may be inciting this situation, assuming this is an event affecting all life on this planet. Before we arrived at Eremel, Michael checked the reports on the activity taking place in this universe. We had reports of Loki the god of mischief messing around, but I¡¯m sure he isn¡¯t responsible for this. After all this is as the mortals say a ¡°dire situation¡± by that I¡¯m assuming life on this planet is in danger.¡± ¡°Hmm... That guy¡¯s version of fun can be questionable at times. What about the goddess that made the summoning circle. Did Michael have any information on her?¡± ¡°No Michael had no reports on her. I''m pretty certain she''s no longer in Eremel.¡± (Angelica) ¡°So she made a summoning circle and dissapeared? If she has helped the mortals I can¡¯t see her being evil but you never know with these things. Like they say expect the unexpected.¡± (Skyler) Finishing what I was saying I take off my armour put on some shorts and slide into bed. I purposely changed in front of Angelica just to see how she would react. Seeing her blushing and becoming flustered I was satisfied. Even though she was bright red Angelica pretended not see anything taking off her armour and putting on a night gown she slid into bed next to me. Was she doing the same thing I did? Admiring her efforts of trying to tease me I make another move. I slowly shuffle my way to her side of the bed and put my arms around her and pulled her in towards my chest. I think her brain malfunctioned a little as she didn¡¯t know what to do. Pretending like it was normal I closed my eyes and pretended to fall asleep. When she finally recovered a few minutes later she whispered my name to see if I was actually awake. ¡°Skyler?? My lord??¡± Getting no response she built up her confidence and poked my cheeks. Inside I was confused, was she still checking if I was awake? From poking, pinching and caressing my cheeks I felt she was getting more and more confident. Next she started to feel up my chest. Her hands felt soft and her touch was delicate but shaky. Her hands were really cold too. Not reacting at all at this point might cause some suspicion, so I decided to take a leap of faith. Pretending to stretch I pull Angelica even closer to me with one of my arms. The other arm however grabbed her cute butt. Feeling her whole body freeze i was trying my best not to smile or laugh. After a few minutes I thought she calmed down as I could feel her body loosen up. Little did I know it was the opposite. After a few seconds I heard her gulp and then soon after felt something soft on my lips.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. This time it was my turn to be shocked. By the time I opened my eyes her head was resting on my chest and her eyes were closed tight. Amazed at her stealing a kiss from me I held her tight and we both drifted off to sleep.
Waking up the next day Angelica was unable to meet my eyes. Her embarrassment and constant blushing was cute but there was no time for that right now. ¡°We¡¯ll be late if we don¡¯t hurry.¡± (Angelica) The streets were once again thriving with festivities. Holding Angelica''s hand we headed for the castle. Reaching the castle we walked up to two guards in golden armour. Showing them our badges one of the guards ran ahead probably to inform everyone we had arrived. The other guard dutifully escorted us to the room where the summoning would take place. Entering the huge double doors I noticed we were the last ones to arrive. The room was huge and overly decorated. Huge pillars supporting the roof. In the middle of the room was a huge circle. Most likely where the heroes would be summoned. There was also a throne built on top of a set of stairs in front of the circle. Golden armoured guards were placed around the room and they looked like decoration pieces themselves. Everyone¡¯s attention was now on us. Looking around the room i see a man in his 40¡¯s sat on the throne. He had blond hair and green eyes. He gave out an aura worthy of a ruler. By his side was another throne which was less decorated, on there sat a woman. She was a black haird beauty but she still couldn¡¯t be compared to my Angelica. Guild master Dreyfus stood a few steps down smiling like he usually does. Standing next to the queen was another woman. She was was young probably in her early 20¡¯s. Her gaze was uncomfortable so I didn¡¯t look at her for long. Finally there was another old man stood on the opposite side of the king. Just by looking at his robes anyone could tell he was a priest. He was old with white hair and supported himself with his staff. Also stood behind the king was a man in golden armour. The armour was more decorative than the others, he probably was a commander. Next to him was a woman in magical robes her face was covered. If I had to guess I would say she is a royal mage as she gives off a magical aura. Taking a few steps into the room guild master Dreyfus walks over to our side. ¡°My king these are the adventurers I told you about.¡± He says kneeling. Taking it as a cue to introduce ourselves I started first. ¡°Greetings I am Skyler a High Elf.¡± I spoke without bowing or kneeling, I still have my pride as god I bend the knee to no one. Angelica was the same she gave an even simpler introduction and also didn¡¯t kneel. ¡°My name is Angelica.¡± I could see some of the people not happy with her introduction as she looked human but she shut them up with her next sentence. ¡°I¡¯m a Vampire Princess.¡± Most where startled and tried their best not show it. The king showed no change of emotion and started a welcoming speech. ¡°Welcome I am King Alfonzo the second, I thank you for taking part in today¡¯s summoning ceremony and your future service towards the heroes.¡± No one dared to gossip or even make a noise in front of the king which was kind of surprising. Paying no more attention to the rest of the residents in the room we both made our way to the side waiting for the summoning to start. Soon after our arrival the king gave a boring speech about who the heroes where and how important they were against the upcoming threat. Of course he didn¡¯t mention anything about the threat which was annoying. Finally after half an hour of waiting the royal mage started the ceremony. She called in other mages and they all poured their mana into the circle. The circle started to shine brightly. To the both us the light could be compared to a small flame. In the past I created stars 100 times larger than this planet so this bright light was nothing. When the silhouettes of the heroes came into view I decided to make a move. While the others were shielding their eyes. I froze time for short while. This gave me enough time to create a pocket dimension. The pocket dimension resembled a white room and held the now soon to be heroes. Creating a pocket dimension was easy. The time in the small pocket dimension would be different from the outside. 10 minutes inside for 1 second on the outside. This gave me plenty of time to carry out what I was about to do. I didn¡¯t want to reveal myself as Skyler to the heroes so I created an illusion of my self. I now looked like a figure of bright light radiating a holy aura. I did the same for Angelica and now we waited for the heroes to arrive. *Not A Chapter, Addressing Some Points* Ok some stuff that I need to explain. If you¡¯re binge reading this after the Nov 1st 2017 then you can ignore this. Ill also be changing chapter 9 after I upload this. I want people to read the story without the plot holes. Juust a reminder too this is my first novel. Again sorry <3
Number 1: FALLEN ANGELS Answer: THERES NO SUCH THING! My dumbass wrote it in instead of titans sorry!!! Changes: Fallen angel changed to titan.
Number 2: Am I down playing gods and fallen TITANS Answer: re reading the chap it totally feels like that. I never mentioned what the ¡°dire situation¡± was which prob caused this misunderstanding. It¡¯s not going to be something minor like a demon lord trust me. The memory thing is iffy too. I don¡¯t want him to know everything that¡¯s going to happen so I¡¯m trying to make memory reading taboo. Mc can do whatever the hell he wants but i want him to stick to this. I mean even if he breaks this nobody can do anything. Beside i want the mc not to have this option available as every enemy he meets he can just read their minds, i want to stay away from mind reading. Heroes they are not going to be shocking our mc constantly. Mc will not be infatuated with them either so don¡¯t worry about heroes becoming the main focus of the story. They have a part to play. Changes: ¡°In my opinion I think a fallen god or titan may be inciting this situation, assuming this is an event affecting all life on this planet.¡±If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. And "As a god i have the power to read their memories but that is something that i prefer not to do. Reading minds is not a simple task to achieve. The mind is something delicate and can easily be damaged. So I had to figure this out by myself."
Number 3: ¡°Time isn¡¯t my domain¡± Answer: Of course Mc can bend time to will (Hence the 10 minutes being 1 second). Again my fault for not conveying it properly. So what I wanted to get across was that creating a whole pocket dimension was a better option than to hold time. Two reasons for this. I wanted to get at that our mc is the god creation and destruction not the god of time. But you can argue he created time etc. Second is that if he only froze time the heroes would see the summoning room and its occupants and he didn¡¯t want that. Ill prob change this or get rid of it all together since you guys are right mc isn¡¯t no bitch even time can¡¯t hold him back!!! Changes: While the others were shielding their eyes. I froze time for short while. This gave me enough time to create a pocket dimension.¡±
Number 4: ¡°No, I¡¯m surprised he missed something like that or she has hidden herself pretty well.¡± (About the goddess) Answer: Ok you guys are right this is dumb. Michael is a commander of his armies. I wanted to convey that the goddess can¡¯t be found because she isn¡¯t there. I¡¯ll be changing this line 100%. Changes: ¡°No Michael had no reports on her. I¡¯m pretty certain she''s no longer in Eremel.¡±
Thanks for the help everyone sorry this isn¡¯t a chap but these points needed to be addressed! Again i want to say thanks to: Mastersgtjames Squadleaderjoey bubbl Vorm Hope everyone continues to read ill release next chapter soon going to go over it in case there¡¯s plot holes in it too! Thanks again <3 Chapter 10 The summoning finished and the heroes were now in my pocket dimension. Around 20 people were summoned. As the summoning took place the two worlds were briefly connected. Taking this opportunity I have a look at which world these heroes originated from. The planet was called Earth. Earth was a special planet as it came from a universe devoid of mana. Earth was also the only planet in that universe sustaining life. The goddess of life Sarah a higher god created life on earth as an experiment. She wanted to see how life would evolve on a planet without mana and monsters. Pleasantly surprised at how humans have evolved it sparked my desire to visit the planet. I was definitely going to pay a visit in the future. All the heroes now summoned were looking around and trying to make sense of what was happening to them. ¡°Where are we, what the hell is going on?¡± A woman said afraid of this unknown place. ¡°Uwah a white room is this the famous hero summoning?¡± A slightly chubby male asked getting excited. Seeing their reactions I confirmed my suspicions. Clearly these humans were taken without their consent some torn away from their families and all of them were about to be thrown into a completely new world. ¡°Greetings humans.¡± My voice echoed throughout the dimension catching the attention of all the heroes. ¡°I am a god who took notice of this summoning. You have been summoned without your consent to a different world.¡± ¡°What the hell send me back! My child is all alone!¡± A panicking mother screamed falling into despair. This time Angelica spoke. My voice was masked as being more powerful and authoritative, Angelicas voice was more, well angelic. ¡°No need to fear, this is precisely the reason why we interfered.¡± The woman who was crying in despair and the other heroes turned towards Angelica. Listening to her soothing voice helped calm them down a little. Getting straight to the point I start preparing to send those who want to return home. ¡°Those who wish to leave please step on the blue circle.¡± I created a circle on the floor which was glowing bright blue. The circle wasn¡¯t anything special, I just reversed the summoning circle and added my own little touch. Most of the people went ahead to the blue circle. Those people clearly had strings attaching them to earth whether it be materialistic things or things like family. Speaking to those who didn¡¯t enter the circle I gave them their last warning. ¡°This is your last chance if you continue with the summoning you will not be able to return. Proceeding in the summoning ceremony any further will change your bodies so that they can adapt to the new world and its mana. Earth has no mana therefore even if you do return your bodies won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± Of course I have the power to send them back, but I won¡¯t be babysitting these heroes forever. They need make this decision now. Seeing that no one changed their minds I went ahead and sent the people in the circle back to earth. The circle started to shine brightly and the heroes disappeared from the dimension. The heroes that were sent back to earth would wake up thinking they just had a weird dream.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Looking over the group there was 6 people remaining. 3 boys and 3 girls. On the female side there was a lady in her 50¡¯s one small child around the age 18 and a woman around the age of 30. The male side there was 2 older men and the chubby teenager. ¡°To those who have decided stay we feel it¡¯s necessary to inform you about the world you¡¯re about to enter. The world is called Eremel and is nothing like the world you come from.¡± (Skyler) The chubby male then started shouting, clearly his excitement was driving him crazy. ¡°Is it a fantasy world with magic and monsters! Are their beast men and elves and other races!¡± ¡°Yes you are correct.¡± Rapid firing questions at me I was surprised but glad that these humans knew about the existence of magic and monsters. ¡°Do any of you have any questions about the summoning or the world you are going to?¡± I asked. A female around the age of 20 spoke up. ¡°Will we be summoned as ourselves and as heroes like that man said?¡± ¡°Yes you are being summoned by the holy kingdom as heroes. It¡¯s up to you to decide your own fate. I will not tell you your future as that is something you need find yourselves.¡± The chubby man once again started to shout out his questions. ¡°Will we be able to use magic and have cheats to help us on our adventure?¡± To answer his question I pull up their statuses. Statuses are a forms of identification magic. With their bodies adapting to mana their stats have increased from what they used to be but their titles and experiences have not. For example a blacksmith would keep his blacksmithing skills and be given blacksmithing as their subclass if it wasn¡¯t already their main class. Of course these heroes being from a place without mana have never seen this before. Seeing them all checking their statuses I scan through them as well. As gods we don¡¯t have statues as we don¡¯t rely on the system. I specifically created the system eons ago for mortals. It¡¯s now spread to every world with mana. If gods were to use the system without manually changing the numbers the stats would just show errors. Checking everyone¡¯s stats I see some of the older generation with classes like paladin, berserker etc. Thinking that was stupid and would waste everyone¡¯s time I changed them. The lady was given a crafter class and the two older men were given a healer and an enchanter class. These non-combat classes were chosen randomly with some influence from their past experiences. ¡°About your statuses, you all have something you are good at and have been assigned your classes. Whether its crafting or fighting, how you use your potential is up to you.¡± (Skyler) Arriving at the status of the 18 year old I was alarmed. Glancing over her titles I felt disappointed in the human race. Not only was she was dressed in rags she was also keeping her distance from the other heroes. This child had a tough life full of physical abuse. She had a skinny malnourished body full of scars and bruises and barely looked alive. Her hair was badly damaged and one of her eyes was missing. ¡°Child, how do you feel about living in a new world?¡± (Skyler) ¡°Eh? Um¡­ All I want is a better life.¡± Surprised at being questioned she answered truthfully. Seeing plight I decide to give her a helping hand. Giving Angelica a hand gesture she started to weaken her illusion. Right now the heroes could vaguely see her. Her face was a blur of holy light and her hair was golden. Behind Angelica was 6 beautiful crimson angelic wings. ¡°An angel.¡± Said the older woman. The mere sight took away the breath of all the heroes. Slowly descending Angelica made her way over to the girl. The girl was just as confused as the remaining heroes. Angelica started to pat her head which started healing all her physical wounds. First her bruises started to fade then her scars. Next her hair and body started too healed. Finally Angelica put her palm over her missing eye. Angelica and the girl started to shine in a holy light forcing the other heroes to cover their eyes. Slowly her eye was healed and the girl started to cry. Angelica just embraced the crying girl changing her now barely fitting rags into a beautiful dress. It only took a minutes for the bright light to fade away. The heroes now saw a beautiful girl standing next to an angel. The sight was breath taking. Angelica whispered something in the girl¡¯s ear and then walked back over to my side. ¡°Our time is drawing to an end, we wish you luck on your new lives.¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking I destroyed the pocket dimension and returned the heroes to their original positions inside the summoning room. Outside the now destroyed dimension only 1 second had passed. The heroes had finally been summoned to Eremel. Chapter 11 Before the light from the summoning died down the king began his welcoming speech. ¡°Welcome mighty heroes to our holy kingdom!¡± I could see what he was doing. He was making sure he looked like the most important person in the room and to be the first person the heroes looked at. In my opinion he was wasting his breath as he had already succeeded in this by just sitting on the royal throne. With the bright light slowly dissipating the heroes who stood inside the circle were revealed to all. Not a single eye was focused on anything else. Many gasps and shocked sounds came from the surrounding nobles. The first hero which stood out the most was a beautiful girl who was wearing an equally beautiful dress. One would think they were in the presence of royalty with her appearance. The next was a lady who gave off a warm, gentle and motherly vibe. This woman stood next to the princess holding her hand and supporting her. Stood next to the two of them was the last female hero. A woman who looked stern and strict and clearly took shit from nobody. A small distance from the female heroes was the the group of male heroes. In the centre stood a chubby man who gave off an excited and childish aura. Surrounding him were two older men. One of them appeared to be old and wise while the other could only be described by the words ordinary. Looking towards the king I could see some surprise in his expression. Was he expecting a knight in shining armour or a Prince Charming to show up? Honestly he probably expected a lot more heroes to be summoned. The king pulling himself together began to continue his speech. He stood up from his throne and started to introduce himself. Once again I started zoning out. His introductions took way too long. I understand him introducing himself as king with his many titles but when he started to introducing others with just as many titles I could feel my eyelids growing heavy. When he finally got to introducing us I could see the heroes staring at us with shock. They were clearly showing more interest in the two of us than anyone else in the room. I kind of expected this of course not because they knew who we were, but because we are the first non-humans they had ever seen. Holding Angelica by the waist I ended up giving a smile and a little wave. Seeing the chubby mans eyes sparkling I almost instantly destroyed him by reflex. Before he could bombard the two of us with questions the elderly woman started to introduce herself to the king. The king was again shocked by the heroes. I think he expected confusion and disorder. Lucky for him the heroes that were summoned actually wanted to be here. ¡°Greetings your majesty. My name is Linda. It¡¯s an honour to meet you.¡± With Linda starting off the wave of introductions the rest of the heroes started introducing themselves too. Next to introduce herself was the girl who previously wore rags. I could see that the elderly woman was supporting her. She even gave the girl a friendly nudge trying to boost her confidence. ¡°Greetings My name is Lilly.¡± She spoke with a small bow. No one in the room missed hearing her voice tremble. When she finished her introduction she slipped behind Linda trying to avoid all the eyes that were staring at her. Luckily for her the chubby man was introducing himself next. This guy¡¯s energy is over the top all the time so everyones attention was successfully diverted to him. ¡°Greetings your majesty. This heroes name is Edward. It¡¯s truly an honour to meet you and every one in here.¡± He spoke with an enthusiastic tone and showed courtesy like he had been training for this moment. One by one the rest of the heroes introduced themselves. The stern and strict looking woman was called Sarah. The wise looking man was called Martin while the ordinary looking man was called Henry. Next the king started introducing the holy kingdom. He started talking about the history and the geography of the place he also spoke about the races and some of the laws in place here. Of course with Edward interrupting the king every few minutes I almost ended up falling asleep. I should have mentioned this earlier but I gave the heroes a little cheat before they left the pocket dimension. I don¡¯t know what this kingdom truly plans for the heroes and I don¡¯t really care that much either. I don¡¯t plan on baby sitting them in their new lives here either. However since I went through the effort of making sure those who were summoned wanted to be summoned I didn¡¯t want to see them become slaves or tools of war. To prevent this I gave them the cheat of being resistant to any mental and physical statuses. This included things like mind control, charm and poison resistance. It wasn¡¯t a game changing cheat but was definitely a life saving one.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. With the introductions finally complete the king tells the heroes to go and rest and that any further questions they may have would be answered the next day. I could see he was worn out with Edwards extensive questioning and just wanted a break. Seeing his exhausted expression a small part of me felt like I could relate. Exiting the throne room we were guided outside to a line of carriages. The heroes were then told that they would be living on palace grounds until they were strong enough to survive by themselves. Angelica and I also got an invitation to live here as the king wanted the both of us to deepen our relationship with the heroes. Accepting the offer the both of us followed the heroes to our new living quarters. Surprisingly the heroes wanted to take in the sights of the palace and decided to walk. Tagging along we followed the heroes who excitedly took in the surrounding sights. The palace was decorated well. There were fountains made of pure gold to statues of previous kings slaying dragons. There was nothing that was left out Mortal architecture was interesting to me. It couldn¡¯t be compared to my own but seeing something new and different wasn¡¯t too bad. Angelica who was walking behind Skyler had no interest in the over the top monuments the humans had built. She was was closely following Skyler while feeling pretty bored. Seeing Skyler walking slightly ahead of her made her feel slightly empty. What she truly wanted was to walk by his side. Remembering what she had done this morning made her feel hesitant and embarrassed but then she remembered how Skyler had held her tight during the summoning ceremony. He was clearly giving out the message that she was taken and his. Giving herself a boost of confidence she walked by his side. Deep inside she promised herself that she would no longer be satisfied with just being his servant. Walking to his side Angelica now was facing her next mini hurdle. No longer afraid and full of unwavering resolve she took a leap of faith and wrapped her arm around Skyler and held his waist. She had seen several mortals walking like this with their lovers on the journeys she had taken in the past. With a tinge of red on her cheeks she continued walking like everything was normal not daring to change her facial expression. Skyler however was shocked inside. His first shock came from the kiss she stole this morning. But now she was doing it again. When was the last time someone had approached him like this? He knew his existence was a lonely one but he never blamed anyone for it. He was kind, caring and a nice person to be around but still the gods kept their distance. Why? He was a ticking time bomb. When he got angry even the ruler of hell trembles with fear. If he was truly pissed off forget about the heavens the whole multiverse would tremble with his rage. Who would want to get close to someone like that? Of course the angels are different but could he call them his friends? The answer to that would be no. They were just servants who were made to make his boring job easier. He still loved them like a master loved his creations but that was all. Angelica however was changing. Not only had she stolen a kiss this morning she was getting more and more confident which led to her leaving her comfort zone more and more. The angels I created were noble creatures full of justice and honour. Over the years they each gained their own personalities from the bubbly and kind ones to the ruthless and cold ones. They were all evolving at their own pace. Of course their loyalty was unquestioned. The angels would rather die than betray one another or myself. As an angel Angelica was cold and ruthless to her enemies and her loyalty was way over 100% Thoughts like being my lover would never have appeared in her mind before. She would think that she was undeserving and just a servant, but she would always strive to show her usefulness. Right now however she was breaking out of her shell of just being my creation. This begged the question was she no longer satisfied with just being my servant? How much would she change? Answering her move with my own I put my arm around her waist and held her tight. I was truly excited to see how Angelica would grow. Arriving at our new living quarters interrupted my deep thoughts. Looking in front of us I could see a newly built mansion which caused the heroes to become even more excited. Entering the mansion I see two lines of people. One was a line of maids and the other a line of butlers both bowing towards us. ¡°Welcome home masters!¡± They all said in unison accompanied with a deep bow. Since Angelica and I were used to this sort of thing we casually acknowledged them and continued on further into the mansion. The heroes however weren¡¯t. The head butler and maid eventually broke them out of their shocked states by introducing themselves. The butler was called Sebastian and the maid was called Siesta and they would be taking care of us for the foreseeable future. Sebastian gave off a professional vibe and never broke out of character, while Siesta was strict and would surely try and keep everyone in check. We were next given a tour of the mansion by Sebastian. The mansion was pretty ordinary. It contained a lot of rooms which may have indicated that the king was expecting more heroes. The kitchens and dining hall were pretty ordinary too. I personally don¡¯t see why the heroes were so engrossed with their new living space. Next we got to see the rooms everyone would receive. Siesta segregated the rooms into male and female. When she looked at us I simply told her that Angelica was my fianc¨¦. Unable to separate us she sighed and gave us a bigger room. I have to say seeing Angelica turn bright red in just a few seconds was quiet hilarious. Her grip tightened a lot too. A mortal would have a broke spine you know. Next it was time to eat. Since Sebastian gave us a tour Siesta was making the food with the other maids. By the time we were done with assigning the rooms the food was ready. Sebastian led us to the dining room in which there was a feast laid out on the dining table. During our meal the heroes mainly Edward wanted to get to know everyone better. We were also asked many questions mainly related to our race. Angelica was questioned a lot about how she drinks blood and the rumours of her being weak to the sun. The questions they asked me were about elves themselves and if I could really use magic. The meal eventually ended up becoming a magic demonstration. I found myself showing a variety of magic from manipulating fire and water to using telekinesis and eating food with no hands. Seeing all this magic I had accidentally blown their minds. After the meal was over the day was still young and it was too early to retreat to our rooms. The two older men decided to visit the library while the rest of the heroes wanted to explore the city. Since the palace didn¡¯t want to send the heroes alone we ended up becoming their guards for the evening. Since we were barely familiar with the city ourselves I decided this might be a good opportunity to see how this city functions. Chapter 12 Leaving palace grounds the heroes were excited to see the new world they would now be living in. There were a few guards accompanying us but they were more like tour guides leading the way throughout the city and making sure we wouldn¡¯t get lost. The real protection role came down to myself and Angelica. ¡°Where does everyone want to go to first?¡± Edward said energetically. ¡°I think we should visit the market district first¡± said Linda. The guards who got the instructions starting leading the way through the city streets that were filled with people. ¡°Why is everybody so excited and why are they decorating?¡± Sarah asked the guard who was leading the way. The guard was was tall and well built and definitely gave off an aura worthy of a warrior. ¡°The people of the city are preparing to celebrate the festival which will celebrate the arrival of the heroes.¡± The guard spoke respectfully and politely in order not the anger the bossy looking woman. Linda who was walking quietly suddenly became quite excited when hearing the news. Her excitement was mostly aimed at Lilly who was quietly holding Linda¡¯s hand. Lilly¡¯s eyes were previously dead, but they had slowly regained signs of life. I¡¯m guessing she¡¯s slowly starting to believe in the second chance that she was given. A couple of minutes of walking and we reached the market place with no incidents occurring. Sticking together we entered the district which was filled with shops and stalls selling any items you could think off. From old antiques to furniture to swords and staffs and even toys. This district was full of people from all walks of life. There were young children running around. Adults who were armed to the teeth selling or buying weapons and armour. There were the housewives gossiping and carrying out their daily shopping. Overall this place was full of life and clearly the heart of the city. When arriving the guards at this point became more alert and aware. The atmosphere had changed around them and it was easy to notice. This place would be perfect for an assassination or a commotion. A place such as this full of people had hundreds of ways for an enemy to hide and escape. Scanning the whole market district with my divine senses I could see plenty of shady looking people hanging around the alleyways and other dark empty areas around the district. I would deal with them all at once but murdering hundreds and hundreds of people would just cause unnecessary trouble later on. ¡°Let¡¯s go check out the weapons and armour in that shop over there! We will definitely need them in the future.¡± Edward said running over to the shop in a hurry. ¡°Let¡¯s get this over with.¡± Sarah said with a sigh. The rest of the heroes just smiled wryly and followed behind. Reaching the store Edward was already looking at the swords like a child who had found new toys. ¡°How is this guy an adult?¡± Sarah mumbled under her breath. Of course I and Angelica were the only ones to hear her. The store owner who was a middle aged skinny man became super excited seeing the new batch of customers entering his store. Straightaway he went over to Edward and started showing off his wares. With Edward looking at the swords Linda decided to look at the armour and magician robes. Sarah and Lilly were checking out the magic staffs and wands. On the whole everything was quite peaceful. The swords and armour in this shop weren¡¯t anything amazing. It looks like the forging techniques in this world aren¡¯t that advanced. The metals this world works with are the standard bronze, iron, steal, mithril, adamantine and orichalcum. Talking to the Smith I did find out that orichalcum and adamantine were the best and rarest metals this world had to offer. There were other materials that were stronger such as dragon bones but these materials were insanely hard to work with and of course were extremely rare and hadn¡¯t been see in decades. Before we left the store empty handed I created and tossed a gold coin from my pocket to the shop owner. After all we did just waste a lot of his time questioning and inspecting his wares. Creating things like coins can be done in my sleep. I don¡¯t know how much value a gold coin has but seeing his eyes shining with greed he was obviously satisfied. Walking out the store the sun was still at its peak and was radiating the world with its warm light. The city was peaceful and the atmosphere was calm, but this peaceful moment would not last.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. ¡°You filthy bitch how dare you! Have you forgotten who I am!?¡± (Unknown man) Walking towards the commotion with the heroes in tow I could see a crowd had gathered around two people who had 3 guards around them. A plump looking man was screeching at a bruised up woman who was kneeling on the ground. You could clearly see she was beaten quite badly. ¡°My Lord please forgive me.¡± (Unknown woman) The voice of the woman on the ground was weak and carried and no hints of emotions. She reminded me of Lilly. She had given up life. The plump man who was dressed in pompous clothing was fuming from the woman¡¯s response. He wanted the woman to cry and beg yet her voice lacked any emotion. Turning my attention towards the heroes I was interested in what they would do. In the world they came from a commotion like this out in public was unheard off. A commotion like this would make headlines in the cities of earth, but in this world something like this would be forgotten when the sun settled down. Looking towards Edward I see him frozen in shock. I was kind of expecting him to run out and act all heroic but instead he just stood watching shocked at the events occurring. The girls Linda and Sarah had a look of disgust and Lilly was hiding behind Linda shaking. Am I benevolent god? Probably not. I do what I want to do. If I want to destroy universes I will. If I want to change the life of a beggar and make him into a king I will. Nothing shackles me down nothing ties me down I do what I want to do and right now this disgusting man is a stain in my sight. A beautiful elf slowly made his way towards the commotion which was taking part in the busy streets of the holy kingdom. Every step he took gathered more and more attention. By the time he reached the front of the crowd which was full of people spectating the event all eyes were on his beautiful figure. The silent crowd then watched on as the elf made his way towards the man surrounded by guards. The people knew something was about to happen but what happened next shocked them to their cores. Not even waiting for the guards the elf released an earth shattering pressure. The guards who looked like they could handle any problem were now on the floor unable to move. The ground beneath them cracked and destroyed with the enormous pressure. The crowd watching the spectacle were petrified watching the scene taking place. The man was just walking and the guards were defeated. He didn¡¯t even raise his hand. No magical chants nothing. It didn¡¯t take long for the beautiful elf to reach the disgusting man. The atmosphere was extremely tense and no one dared to make a sound. No one except for the disgusting man himself. ¡°You, you dare lay your hands on my guards! Do-do you know who I am elf? Just one word from me and this whole kingdom will tu¡± *SLAP* The sound of a hand hitting a cheek was so loud it echoed throughout the surroundings. The disgusting mans cheek was red from the backhand he had received from the elf. ¡°HOW DARE YOU HIT ME I WI¡± Before he could finish his sentence the sound of a hand impacting against a cheek once again echoed throughout the city streets. The crowd watching had their eyes bulging out of their sockets. As citizens of the city the crowd clearly knew who this man was. He was the bastard child of a noble. If he was a female he would have been married off in a political marriage but as bastard male he had no political value. Even worse for the man he was disliked by many other nobles for his cruel practises and disgusting habits but he was still the son of a noble. Right now in front of dozens of people the arrogant disgusting man was being slapped again and again by a handsome elf. *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* Eventually the man fell on his backside covered in snot and tears. His lip and nose were bleeding and his cheeks were redder than a blushing maiden. If the atmosphere wasn¡¯t so tense the crowd would be laughing their arses off but most of them couldn¡¯t help but worry about what would happen to the elf. The heroes were shocked beyond belief not in their wildest dreams would they think this would occur. Seeing the strength of the elf a flame had ignited in each and every one of them. The elf however didn¡¯t even change his facial expression. It was like humiliating the pitiful man in front of him was just a small task. Turning around the elf was now looking at the kneeling woman. There was no way she would ever have a normal life. One of her eyes were gouged out and she barely had any teeth remaining in her mouth. Her head had bald spots were you could clearly see that hair had been forcefully pulled out. He left hand had no fingers and on her right only 2 fingers remained. One her legs were shorter than the other and since she wore no shoes you could see she had no toes. The state of this girl made Lilly¡¯s situation look like paradise. The angry elf was releasing a bloodthirsty aura. The guards on the ground had pissed themselves and passed out. The disgusting man who was crying on the ground was now terrified of what was to come. The elf grabbed the mans hair and lifted him into the air. The man now was screaming and crying begging to be let go. He tried everything from bribing the elf to offering himself as a slave but nothing worked. The elf¡¯s face was full of hate and disgust. This disgusting mans life would certainly come to an end today. ¡°Give my greetings to Azrael¡± *BANG* Bright white lightning descended down on the world shaking the atmosphere and everything around it. The noise that followed was deafening which caused many to close their eyes and cover their ears. The place the lightning descended upon was of course the hand of Skyler. The lightning which shook the world left not even a scratch on Skyler but the opposite could be said for the man that used to be in clutches. Tsk I need to calm down. I almost destroyed Eremel in my fit of anger. Seeing that the disgusting man no longer existed the kneeling woman collapsed on the ground. She started shedding tears knowing she no longer had to suffer. Seeing this I could only sigh. I knew the ugliness of mankind had no bounds but there had to be a line. Kneeling down I started patting the girls head and started the process of healing her. I slowly pick her up and carried her in my arms. Would someone like this be able to integrate back into society? She¡¯s been abused so much would she still grasp the miracle called life or would she let go and fall into the abyss. The woman now in the arms of the handsome elf started to feel the warmth surrounding her. Knowing that she was about to loose consciousness she knew she had to look at the person who saved her life one more time. She had to see the person who ended her suffering. Slowly lifting her head she once again looked at the handsome elf. She could see his troubled face as he looked down on her undesirable face. Are those tears at the edge of his eyes? Are those for me? But why? I¡¯m not even good enough to be slave. With those dark and depressing thoughts she finally lost consciousness questioning the situation at hand. Turning around with the woman in my arms I start to walk back towards the guards and the heroes. Edward and Lilly were looking at me like I was hero while Sarah and Linda were wearing conflicted expressions. Angelica was no where to be seen but I had small inkling of where she had disappeared to. This is the first time the heroes have witnessed death. I¡¯m surprised Lilly isn¡¯t traumatised. Her eyes are sparkling just like Edwards. ¡°We should head back to the castle.¡± I could only smile wryly at the reactions from the people surrounding me. The crowd around me was still silent but most of them had the same sparkling eyes as Lilly and Edward. Chapter 13 Above the city in the sky above A crimson light was out for blood. The people looked on in awe and fear Blind to the tragedy that would soon appear. Angelica was flying through the sky and headed towards a mansion built in the noble district. Angelica knew the behaviour of mortals as an angel her duties took her to many places around the universe. Her lord Skyler had very publicly executed the son of a noble. Of course this is trivial to her lord as the man deserved to die after all, however the disgusting mans family would likely not stay silent. Even if he was a bastard child he still carried their name. When her lord became angry after seeing the condition of the abused woman Angelica knew what would come next. Before the execution occurred she quickly questioned one of the guards about the disgusting man. With all the information at hand she instantly made her way to the family of the disgusting man. On her way there she knew she had but only two choices. If the family was just as disgusting as the man then she wouldn¡¯t hold back and deliver judgement upon them. If they were innocent then she would make sure they would never lay a hand on Skyler no matter what. Flying in the sky Angelica was using her vampire princess abilities. Instead of her angelic wings which radiated holiness and divinity she was flying with black leathery bat like wings. Her appearance was quite different to her usual look as this look was more fierce and aggresive. The family of the disgusting man where staying in a city not far from Zeah. It only took Angelica a minute or two to find the right place. Using her divine sense Angelica scanned the whole noble district searching for her prey. ¡°Found you.¡± Closing in on the mansion the residents had no idea of what was about to occur. Angelica gracefully landed on the roof and made sure that nobody saw her. From her previous scan off the mansion she could sense dozens of guards scattered around the perimeter. Scanning inside the house she could sense maids and servants going about carrying out their duties. After a few seconds of searching she finally found what she was looking for. Every angel including Angelica has mastered the holy element of light. Angelica being the right hand of Skyler and the strongest angel has also mastered the element of fire. As the angel of slaughter she strikes fear into the hearts of her lords enemies and destroys all evil in her path. Skyler¡¯s left hand Micheal is the opposite of Angelica. Micheal has mastered the element of water and protects his lord¡¯s allies and supports those who stand by his side. If a picture had to be painted then Angelica would be sharpest and deadliest sword while Micheal would be a giant unbreakable shield. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Retracting her wings Angelica jumped through one of the open windows in the mansion. Bending light around her she made herself invisible to the naked eye and waltzed into the mansion like she owned the place. As the place was full of mortals no one was able to sense her. Maybe if the mansion employed a high ranking mage they may be able to detect the mana being emitted from the spell which was currently being used by the bloodthirsty angel. Angelica headed straight for the room that looked like the office. If she could find evidence of their evil doings then after she burned the place to the ground she could leave the evidence in the hands of the inquisitors. While her lord was enjoying his stay here in the holy kingdom Angelica wasn¡¯t sitting around idly twiddling her thumbs. She had researched the kingdom and the world they were now in. The inquisitors were a group of knights that worked for the king. They had the job of making sure everything in the kingdom was legitimate. From nobles to huge companies created by merchants. Arriving at the office Angelica slowly opened the door and snuck into the room. Using her divine senses she started going through important books related to the nobles. After a few minutes of searching Angelica couldn¡¯t be any more disgusted. Her findings were that this family was actively extorting the people of their land. The money would then go into supporting the slave trade which was illegal in the holy kingdom. Angelica took all the documents she needed then flew into the sky destroying the roof in the process. Looking down on the mansion in disdain she could sense that the head of the family was currently eating in the main hall alongside his wives and sons. Every single one of them was guilty. ¡°For the crimes you have committed against the innocent you shall be judged by the flames of hell.¡± Her cold bloodthirsty voice travelled for miles entering the ears of everyone close by. Floating in the sky Angelica raised one hand into the air. She then began to create a giant ball of fire which dyed the sky red. The ball of fire was enormous and looked like a mini sun hovering above her hand. ¡°Die!¡± With swift movement Angelica threw the ball of fire towards the mansion. In just mere seconds before contact Angelica cast a teleportation spell on the maids and soldiers who where innocent transporting them to a safe distance away from the slaughter that would soon commence. As the ball approached the mansion almost all plant life and every flammable object had already been disintegrated. *KABOOOM* The ball of fire had directly hit the mansion which had created a gigantic explosion. The sound and intensity of the explosion intensely shook the earth below. The flames then started to spread at speeds which weren¡¯t normal. Everything was being devoured. The walls the floor the ceiling every single piece of debris that had survived the initial blast was now being incinerated to ashes at an abnormal pace. The flames of hell were unique flames. They were almost sentient and would consume everything the user wanted. In this case Angelica had judged this family and those related guilty and the flames of hell were happy to oblige. Hell and heaven do exist in the grand scheme of things, but they are quite different to what many believe them to be. The two realms are just places where souls are held while they wait for reincarnation. A virtuous and good soul would be sent to heaven where they would be rewarded for their deeds. This was the same for hell. A soul judged to be guilty of evil deeds would be sent to hell. The time spent in the realm and the severity of the punishment would depend on the deeds committed. There are many souls banished from the cycle of reincarnation because of the heinous deeds and they spend the rest of time suffering in the depths of hell. Again it¡¯s the same for heaven those who have done a lot of good while they were alive can choose to spend the rest of their days in heaven or of course reincarnate. The flames of hell that have now surrounded the destroyed mansion would burn and devour everything to ground. If the maid¡¯s, guards and other servants innocent of the crime were still at the scene they would still not be touched by the fire. Even if the person was doused in the most flammable of substances the flames would not burn them. The guilty however could not escape. The flames would incinerate them until nothing was left. Even if the guilty jumped into the ocean the flames would not be doused. The only reason the innocent maids servants and guards were transported away was the heat and explosion created by the ball of fire before it landed. Angelica was still flying in the sky looking down on the destroyed mansion. Her face carried no expression no remorse no guilt. She was used to killing. By her standards the destruction and havoc below was nothing. Looking down below her confirmed that the family had perished so she started flying towards the closest inquisitor headquarters. Luckily every city has a headquarters. Since Angelica didn¡¯t want to go through the hassle of talking to each member and going through with the procedures they had in place she left all the evidence in the biggest office in the building. With the evidence now in the right hands she eagerly headed back home into the warm arms of the man she loves.
