《Into the Secret (name still needed)》 Prologue: Into Hell. This may seem unheard of by most people outside of the otaku life style, but really did it happen to me? Though, they did say that It would be just a government experement which would allow me to fund my life and my family without worry of bills or anything else in that matter, and all I had to do was agree to there terms. ¡°How do you feel Jona?¡± ??? Looking at the lady with solid straight black hair down to her hips while dressed in a white lab coat with the normal office lady outfit underneath, with slanted eyes you¡¯d see a villian having, the eyes themselves are enough to draw you in with one being silver while the other being aqua blue. The lady has a medium build for most women in this world only about 160cm tall with a very hourglass-like figure with I guess D cup breast? Never been one to really care about this stuff. As the lady said the name, my original name was changed from¡­.. I was John Anders a normaly everyday guy with really not much to go for, no girlfriend nor even a solid job, though I did make by with online computer repairs and such¡­¡­ ¡°¡­.Stiffy¡± A girly voice. Yes¡­ apparently the experement was for me to become female without an ounce of male DNA left, and they really did a good job¡­. as this room is mostly the type you¡¯d see in an old movie where kids got experemented on and cut up. ¡°Still not talking much?¡± Lady. ¡°I still don¡¯t know your name.¡± Seriously I do not know their name¡­. they came to pick me up when I was down on my luck and not really knowing what to do. I was only out for a job search in hopes to get more money for my family¡­. really just my brother, mother, aunt, and mother¡¯s boyfriend¡­.. can you believe that I was the only one doing anything worthwile in that house? I mean my brother has a government income due to his mental health which pays over half the bills¡­. but he doesn¡¯t even know how to manage money so it¡¯s left to me, and my aunt is even worse off seeing as she can barely walk and can¡¯t even lift her hands above her head. Still she gets a government income and pays me rent every so often. My mother and her boyfriend rarely even do that it, and wasn¡¯t to I stopped cooking for them or offering them any help. Then they started buying food every month or check, but really, I am the only one that does the cooking, cleaning, and on top of it all it was my father and I that did all of this before he passed away¡­. ¡°Your body is that of a 13 year old girl now; you will need to get through all of the training programs we have set for you. Which will end up taking a few months to a year, depending on how fast you learn them. As before, I told you that my name isn¡¯t a matter worth talking about since there is a chance of an information leak, so it¡¯s best you do not know who I am or where you really are, but be assured your family will have the life of kings and queens and never again having to worry about bills or food. In fact, I have some of our staff bringing them three meals a day with the finest chiefs at our disposal.¡± Lady. ¡°¡­..¡± I just didn¡¯t really have anything to say. Can¡¯t trust these people more then I can throw them and in this body I doubt I could even lift them. ¡°What is with that look?¡± the lady said then sighed. ¡°Look we need to get you to the training area soon, so let¡¯s go¡± she got up impatient all of a sudden like a kid wanting to test out a new toy.. ¡°¡­ In this?¡± Yes, I am still in the hospital gown. Even if I am in the body of a young female, it would feel¡­ wrong to do any type of work out in this¡­. at least to me. ¡°Yes? Or would you prefer a dress or other fancy clothes to train in?¡± she stiffed a laugh under her breath. The lady went to the closet and pulled out a pair of wind pants and black T-shirt that is about my size with panties¡­.. yes, panties¡­ and a sports bra then came back and sat them on the bed then looked at me. ¡°You can put them on now, since we are lacking in time.¡± She said looking at me. ¡®¡­.. Really now? At least it wasn¡¯t a dress¡­." I put on the clothes with some¡­ embarrasment. Luckily I¡¯m good at hiding my emotions on my face so I didn¡¯t blush or even twitch as she could see¡­ since the twitch happened when she pulled it out, it won¡¯t be good if I let my guard down around her¡­. she just makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. ¡°Good¡­ even though¡­ your not very talkitive¡­ at least¡­ -mumbles-¡° she walks off while waving at me a bit disappointed somehow.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡®Somehow¡­ I feel I have dodged a tough one¡­.¡¯ I did the only thing I could do¡­. walk after her¡­. as of now I¡¯ve gotten use to moving with my new body. The start of it was a bit chaotic however¡­. ------{Flashback}-------- Like when I first got here¡­. I didn¡¯t know what to expect other then that it was some government lab and that there was a young girl in a tub with blue gel-like substance around her with medical and oxygen tubes attached to her and with a similar, empty tub just like it right next to her. She was silver haired all the way down to her thighs and seemed pretty fit for a child. Not much fat on her, like she¡¯s been forced to practice sports since a early age, but that could be due to the machines on her skin and such forcing her muscles to exercise to keep her from being frail. She has a modest chest, not even a B-cup yet, with the starting lines of the curves on her hips and with a well shaped face that you¡¯d see straight out of an anime or manga. It was really hard to find any flaws in her body other then her eyes being closed. I couldn¡¯t say she was really different then any other person on Earth, other then the odd hospital gown on her being in a pink color with some glowing like lines going through it. At first I didn¡¯t know what to do or think about other then just look at her dumbfounded as to why she has children in her experement as well¡­. ¡°That isn¡¯t a normal child¡­. it was made in this lab through high tech means and a new DNA we found in an astroid that hit. Surprisingly, it formed the body and it became like this. The sad thing is it will never form a male body only female, and the other problem is it never gains a mind of it¡¯s own it is just a body¡­. that if we don¡¯t find a compatible host mind to put in her she will die like many others.¡± She said at the time giving me an explanation Since I¡¯ve already signed an non-disclosure agreement stating that I would never tell anyone yata yata¡­. Etc¡­ the thing that is surprising is that if what she says is true. Then I will have to lose my 26 years of my male life and in return live as a female? That ¡­.. is kinda hard to take but acrording to them my family will never have a worry in their lives¡­. the sad part is I doubt I can tell them either since this is basically a one way thing for me¡­ and they don¡¯t even know that I even signed this since it was more or less a gamble when they asked me. ¡°well strip off all of your clothes¡­.¡± ¡°WHAT!?¡± I can¡¯t believe she just told me to strip right after explaining that? I mean won¡¯t they send me to a room for testing first? A changing room for a gown? ¡°Mr. Anders¡­. you can¡¯t expect us to start with your clothes on, as it would hinder the process¡­ we have a gown for you¡­ and no need for tests since we already know your medical history.¡± ¡®¡­. They can read minds?¡¯ ¡°No, we can¡¯t read minds, it is just the fourth time we have done this process.¡± She said after giving me the gown and walking over to the side room opening the door ¡°You can change in here and rememeber even undergarments must be removed.¡± Still lost and confused like before I walked into the room, just like the walk in the building, it¡¯s the classical hospital type building all white walls and tile floors. Then a thought came to me, ''changing a host mind? Does that mean that they are going to take my brain and put it into her head?¡¯ poor girl¡­ my mind is so damaged that even I don¡¯t know what is left of it. After finishing changing into the gown just like hers for the most part, lines started to glow on them and my skin tingled a bit. Even walking in it is somewhat harder as if it¡¯s made of heavy armor, like leather that is ment to hinder movement. When I came back to the room, she was looking at me with a bit of disgust like she hates the way I look¡­ well nothing new that is everywhere for a normal ugly guy like myself. ¡°Get into the tub and we can start the process.¡± I did as I was told since the documents I signed have been all legit and with money already sent to my family it wasn¡¯t much left to do but to follow my end of the bargin. As I was lost in my own thought, she started plugging different machines and IVs to me and then came the oxygen mask and such as normally, but what pissed me off the most was she didn¡¯t warn me about how painful the process was. Once she started the process, I ended up in so much pain that you could never imagine, it was like my skin was on fire, my blood vessels themselves were like they are melting in lava, even my bones felt like they were melting. And worst of all, something was keeping me awake through this process¡­ I had always though that the characters in novels and mangas were just lying when they said this stuff¡­ I really have no idea how they got stronger after¡­ my only thoughts right now is I want it to stop. But since I can¡¯t move or even bite my own tounge off, I am forced to have this sort of hell for what seemed like eternity, and at the corner of my eye I can see the girl beside me convulsing like she¡¯s going through just as much pain as I am. Finally, the pain stopped as I lost all power to stay awake, as if whatever was keeping me awake was gone and the last thing I saw when the world was going dark was the lady laughing evily like some mad scientist you see on tv.
Really this is the first time I ever posted a story on any site what so ever... I have had many ideas in my head and wrote some down but this is the first one I decided to share on the net it self... grammer might be bad, the story it self might have a rough start but I do tend to better myself and at least keeping a chapter a day at least for awhile, Any help on how to do Status screens and such would be wonderful... since I have no idea how to do that as of now Anyhow any helpful good or bad advice is welcomed I will try to read all comments for awhile to try to better myself. Chapter 1 Hellish training part 1 This body is like it was designed especially for me, for some reason I can¡¯t find any problems in being inside it other than my old body is pretty much dead, with no way to go back to it as of right now. Luckily it didn¡¯t seem like they took the brain out or anything like that, but some sick transfer of souls and such if you believe in that kind of crap. The body itself didn¡¯t seem like there was anyone in it other then myself, yet I can¡¯t help but feel fear of these people I didn¡¯t have before... and it wasn¡¯t because of the pain I experienced. It was like it was coming from the body itself, as if it was alive on its own and had gone through way more traumatic stuff then I have. As I was walking, I wasn¡¯t really paying much attention to where I was going and didn¡¯t notice the lady in front of me had stopped at a door and walked into her. -thud- I ended up walking into her and falling backwards from the surprise, but what truly surprised me is how weak I actually am as just walking into her hurt like I hit a wall. ¡°Watch where you¡¯re going, wouldn¡¯t want you to get hurt too bad.¡± she practically had a smile on her face saying if I did that again I would understand the meaning of hurt. ¡°Anyhow here we are, now get in.¡± she is keeping her smile and trying to be nice but after that last vision of her laughing I got a feeling this is going to be a rough life. The room was not that amazing just like a classical gym with all sorts of weapons for melee, like I would need to use a sword¡­. or the rest of these weapons. Though, something tells me I will have to learn how to use at least most of them because the middle aged man in the middle of the room is like the embodiment of an old samurai type that ¡®the way of the sword¡¯ is the only way to live. ¡°You gotta be freaking kidding me!¡± he seemed seriously surprised that the one he¡¯d be training is a little kid or the fact it¡¯s a girl? (Well¡­ I am still a man on the inside¡­) ¡°You really have a way with words¡­ Jeff.¡± The lady had a stiff smile like she is looking at something disgusting¡­. Now that I think about it, didn¡¯t she look that way at all the males here? Well she doesn¡¯t look that way at me anymore but she still seems stiff¡­ like she¡¯s trying to hold herself back from something. I really hope she isn¡¯t one of those germaphobe people on top of being a man hater. ¡°You said I would be training a talented kid! Nothing about a whelp of a girl that looks like she should still be beside her mommy!¡± he yelled. He is probably the type of guy that thinks women should be protected and so on¡­ not meant for fighting. Or training or anything that seemed male-ish in his eyes. ¡°For God''s sake! Jeff, this is the newest experiment!¡± Lady. ¡°Oh? Didn¡¯t you usually have the female instructors teach them?¡± Jeff. ¡°Of course, but all of them tend to not want to be around this one even before it was active.¡± Lady. ¡°Is it because of the eyes?¡± I said. Looking up at them since my eyes are the only thing I don¡¯t know what they look like since they were closed before the transfer. ¡°N-no, not your eyes¡­¡± She stuttered and looked away. ¡°Then why Miss Scientist! This girl doesn¡¯t look scary at all by any means!¡± Jeff. ¡°It¡¯s because she doesn¡¯t look like the rest¡­. and the youngest looking since most look around the age of 18 years old¡± Lady. I am not sure I get what they mean but since I look like a child they didn¡¯t want to train me? Isn¡¯t that¡­ against their job and going against the boss? ¡°Anyhow¡­ Jeff, do your job, you haven¡¯t had a single trainee since we hired you.¡± she said then left. -Sigh- The man named Jeff sighed like he really didn¡¯t think she¡¯d just leave the troublesome matters to him, then looked at me. ¡°You know my training will be hell on earth, but when I am done with you, you¡¯ll be a monster beyond monsters.¡± Jeff. I just shivered at the way he was looking at me. I just had a feeling my easy life of an otaku just ended and I was in the pits of hell just by looking around the room at all the different weapons and then back at him, but the next thing I knew he was in front of me with boxing gloves on and hitting my stomach sending me bending over in pain but that wasn¡¯t the end of it. He seemed to knee my stomach right after knocking me to the ground. ¡°GET UP!¡± he shouted. Then came and lifted me up by my hair, God it hurt like hell, leaving me nothing but to glare at him my emotionless mask broken cause of this treatment I felt like I wanted to cry. ¡°Good, hate me. It makes it all the easier to learn, but if you can¡¯t... well you will become my punching bag for the next year. I have a lot to cram in you.¡± Jeff. The demon instructor kept beating me over and over to I was at least able to scratch him a little bit from fighting back. It was hard when your whole body was hurting, but it didn¡¯t seem to faze him one bit. It was like he enjoyed my pain, like the previous him was just a mask in front of that pyscho lady. He kept on until I blacked out, while enjoying every bit of it. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. ¡°Wake up little Jona; you have to eat then go back to training¡± a female voice. When I opened my eyes it wasn¡¯t the crazy lady but some attendant type lady you see at the air port or such. My guess is she is some sort of nurse or maid because all the bandages on me made me feel like I was a mummy but the pain was gone. Not sure how patient this lady is, but it¡¯s probably in my best interest to not anger her or anyone in this place. So I sat up and looked at her as she seen me wake up she seemed satisfied that I wasn¡¯t hard to deal with and brought in what looks like breakfast (bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, and a glass of milk) while looking at it kind of made me a bit sad since I am not use to drinking milk at all¡­ in fact I only think it as an item to cook with or make ice cream and other sweat stuff like fruit shakes. ¡°Coffee¡­?¡± Jona. ¡°You want coffee?¡± Attendant. ¡°¡­Please?¡± Jona. ¡°Alright, give me one moment¡± Attendant. She seemed to be a pretty good lady¡­ she went out as soon as I asked for what I deem the best wake up method I have other then tea¡­ and to me tea is something to slowly enjoy and not like the time I have now. While waiting, I decided to go ahead and eat the pancakes since they seemed to be the best part of this¡­ added to the bacon, luckily I was well mannered or I¡¯d think the attendant that came back in would of gave me a look of disappointment, but she seemed happy and I mean more than happy that my table manners weren¡¯t like a stereotypical fat guy eating fast food or pizza. ¡°Here is your coffee.¡± Attendant. ¡°... Thanks.¡± Jona. ¡°You¡¯re like they said huh?¡± Attendant.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°¡­?¡± Jona. ¡°you rarely talk, you are well behaved, and just like a doll with little to no personality. To be honest, I thought you would not have the manors of a proper lady, and eat like some pig, but now that I see that you are more behaved I would love to work with you during your stay! I am Amanda and your personal supervisor while you¡¯re here as well as attendant¡­ you can think of it as a kind of maid.¡± Amanda. Really? I am just acting the part I see on animes and such¡­ not like I know how to act like a proper lady, but I do know how to properly eat a meal in front of people that makes it seem less disgusting then some people I been with. Truth is told I am kind of good at acting and keeping my poker face up, sadly not the best, but I am still decent. ¡°¡­Thanks?¡± Really no idea how to react it¡¯s like she is also some rich girl that lived a life of a silver spoon in her mouth. No idea how she is ¡®just¡¯ what she said she would be, she seems like she¡¯d have more say then my demo¡­¡­. Instructor. After finishing my breakfast and coffee with the milk in it¡­ yes¡­ I like milk coffee, but only cause it was too hot for my current taste buds it is like they are more advanced than before, though my old taste buds were less than most people in fact it was hard for me to taste most things, she came up to me with a towel and a change of clothes. ¡°Time for a bath and a change of clothes and bandages.¡± Amanda. She started undressing me before I could even react, but when I could I still couldn¡¯t push her away in fact it only made her laugh while she was doing it. Even though I have bruises it seems none of them were really that damaging and to the point she even washed me and refused to let me do it myself saying it was her job¡­ I swear I think she¡¯s some worse otaku type girls that love dressing up others in cosplay to the point they got good at forcing it. What? Did you expect me to tell you how she washed me? Denied¡­ that is something I rather not remember¡­ And worst of all, the clothes she has me in is even more girly then the previous training clothes... tight pants that surprisingly was still easy to move in with straps around the thigh to make it restricting and is what is making the pants tight around the thighs to begin with and a string T-shirt, clearly you can see the sports bra underneath¡­ not like I really need one right? Well she didn¡¯t take a no for an answer the problem is that it¡¯s all pink other then the sports bra and which is black, everything else is pink. God¡­ I hate pink¡­ Other then that, the training and everything else went about the same as there was nothing really different¡­ getting my ass kicked and beat while trying to copy his way of fighting without any real advice other then my back was not straight enough of my feet are in the wrong place¡­ no running training like in the books and animes, just plain out brawls. Well it went on about the same way for a month, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the body or me, but after awhile I was able to predict his movements since he never really moved in a complicated pattern and started dodging his moves for a little bit. Yet with low stamina it was really hard to do anything else and it only lasted to I wasn¡¯t able to move, then out of nowhere he decided to change the plan and make me run laps around the Gym until I dropped. He kept this going for a long period of time all while trying to hit or throw balls and such at me, nothing really hard¡­ he hasn¡¯t hit me bare handed or anything so I know he¡¯s holding back, but every day is like I am walking through lava while I disturbed a very angry bee hive, because it keep stinging all throughout the training and in fact the first month I only was able to dodge one ball but cause of that I ended up face planting right into the wood floor. The next day the first, kind of it¡¯s been thirty two days since I got here, and on the way to train I am surprised that the instructor is not in demon mode and is having books in front of him as if he is waiting for me, he had made me skip breakfast today for some odd reason, probably has to do with the books. ¡°I know you¡¯re probably hungry but today I am going to just teach you about the human body, its weak points, and how to strike hard even with little to no strength of your own.¡± Jeff. Then he motioned me to sit in front of him while the books are between us. The books have names such as ¡®Human Anatomy and Physiology¡¯ , ¡®Lab Results and How to Know What Organ of Different Animals is Healthy or Not¡¯ , ¡¯Book of Pressure Points¡¯ and etc. But the most disgusting of is that there are pictures of live animals and people cut open with all their insides displaced with different names and such for everything, not drawings that are in normal books but actual people and animals... I am lucky I didn¡¯t eat because I had to puke just looking at them and for some reason they even have a smell in here¡­ which is odd until I seen behind him at the corpses. This lesson of his took a whole month. To me, he enjoyed making me feel all the dirty organs that went cold, and some of the animals were even still warm one even moved and cried cause it was still alive, I feel like I am hating this guy even more now cause of all this animal cruelty. Yes, I am one of those that couldn¡¯t care too much about my fellow humans; I see things on news and suh and I believe we ourselves never care for others outside of our circle. We see strangers as nothing more than that, even if they were to die we wouldn¡¯t really care to much, in fact I seen people blow up post about it making it like it¡¯s something super interesting when it is really something sad and disturbing. By the time I was able to finally master all of this stuff, I had a sick feeling that I could never forget what I had learned even if I wanted to. Every day throughout the month, I ended up having the worst nightmares of these people and animals coming back to haunt me and cut me open for revenge. Even if I am not that much of a nice or caring person, I still believe every life is one of a kind and deserves some respect, not this lesson or disgrace for the dead, hell to me animals should only be killed if you need them for food, or survival other than that you should respectfully let them live their own lives. However, one of the nightmares was so bad that I couldn¡¯t wake from it. I had a dream of my family, friends, and everyone I ever knew or cared for was in the mix with those people and animals trying to claw their way at me, blaming me for everything with dead eyes, blaming me that I should of protected them, that I should have been more, told them that I could of saved them if I had watched the signs had forced them to seek help. Even my family and friends that are still alive are doing the same thing, it was so horrible until I felt someone shaking me while talking to me in a soft voice telling everything was okay. But when I opened my eyes no one was there, the room had still been sealed from the outside. ¡®Yes sealed they are keeping me here for ¡°my own protection¡± and had to lock the door.¡¯ No idea who was shaking me but my body itself is still shaking from the nightmare, maybe that¡¯s what was shaking me, but I noticed my face was a bit wet from crying. It must have been that bad that I mentally felt someone talking to me that didn¡¯t exist just to escape what I have always blamed myself for. My father¡¯s death, my grandmother¡¯s, my two uncle¡¯s, etc. the list goes on. Since I was young, I had some kind of sixth sense that something was going to happen, I can¡¯t exactly say to who, but it usually is someone next to me someone I know. It has always come in the form of cold chills and nightmares similarly to the one I had only on a lesser scale. Somehow my throat even seems sore, maybe I ended up yelling in my sleep? ¡®Yes, you did.¡¯ Voice. I jumped because the voice seemed to come out of nowhere, but when I decided to look around no one was here, only me in this locked room inside a bed which is not that bad actually pretty fluffy and felt like a five star hotel type of bed. ¡®I am inside your head¡¯ Other me. ¡®¡­. So¡­ you¡¯re the original owner of this body?¡¯ Jona. ¡®Yes¡­ Kinda? More like we both got awakened in this body at the same time¡­ so I might as well as be part of you.¡¯ Other me. ¡®It is kind of hard to believe, but I think I might have had a mental breakdown to have to talk to myself¡¯ Jona. ¡®You probably we¡¯re always mental¡¯ Other me. ¡®Thanks, so¡­ what do I call you?¡¯ Jona. ¡®You can just call me Rose for the time being¡­ kind of like that name in our memory.¡¯ Rose. ¡®Well Rose¡­ I guess we are in for the hell ride together¡¯ ¡®You probably don¡¯t know the abilities this body possesses¡­ since I keep most of my time trying to figure out how to talk to you I found out this body has a photographic memory, and a faster learning curve then even babies when they are learning to speak. It¡¯s as if we take in everything they send at us and learn it at a fast pace and believe it or not¡­ it would probably take a whole lot longer to get out of that beating physically then a month, and that lessons on the bodies of humans and animals people tend to learn that for years before they are any good at it. But I am glad to know you at least can talk more than three to four words at a time even if it¡¯s just in your head~¡± Well that explains why I felt someone being afraid of these people, and someone taking out of that nightmare, must have been my other self even though I am having a hard time believing it. Rose probably was the original of the body but didn¡¯t have any ability to move or take over kind of like someone in a vegetable state. ¡®You know I can hear your thoughts?¡¯ Rose. Yes, I got the feeling you could since you practically live in my head. ¡®Then you know that there is no one else here to talk to other then me right?¡¯ Rose. Yes, but I¡¯ve been like this for awhile now it is keeping everything organized since I can¡¯t forget anything I talk about, even think about in my head, other than the nightmares that can be hazy and not full pictures I can forget them at times and such. ¡®I think you are really a mental case¡­..¡¯ Rose. Most likely so, but then you are also me even if you may differ in personality. Just as I was in thought with myself, Amanda walked in with a tray of food, surprised I was even awake. It seems the room is either sound proof, or the watch dogs outside the door didn¡¯t tell her anything, but I do know I look like a mess, though I have stopped shaking, I am still red eyed with tears dried on my face. ¡°Sorry¡­.¡± Jona. Still some reason I can¡¯t bring myself to talk much with these people, not that I am shy, it¡¯s just I feel it would be a pain to do so. ¡°Sorry for what? Oh my, looks like you had a nightmare or something?¡± Amanda. ¡°¡­Nightmare¡± Jona. ¡°Well then let¡¯s get you cleaned up, I am sure your old enough to know that nightmares are just dreams not real right?¡± Amanda. ¡°¡­. Yes¡± Jona. ¡°Good time for the bath~¡± Amanda. -shivers- this is going to be a long day¡­. Chapter 2 Hellish Training part 2 The following days ended up being different martial arts training. This instructor kept changing them week after week in order to keep me in shape while making me read every book on martial arts he could come up with: from unarmed to even martial arts involving guns. Of course these books had all the info on how to learn these types of fighting. He personally taught me the weapons such as bo staves of different kinds as well as many types of blades. I could only recognize some of them due to my gaming habit. Most of the blades are just a same style of a set sword but different shapes and sizes. The worst part of it is after the books he made me read and memorize, he started just using the ones he knew and told me to try to defend myself and it took all I had to not give up. If it wasn¡¯t for Rose, I doubt I would of kept going; I am glad this part of the training only took three months, even if it was painful, I learned at least half of the styles of unarmed combat and was decently useful in using melee weapons. After that,he was satisfied enough that he started giving weight training to build up my stamina. This was the worst by far, it is like I had to run the same way as before only with full weighted clothing that covered most of my body and felt like it weighted over two-hundred pounds itself. I know this body is slim and light¡­ but this type of training for the remainder of the year made me really miss my old days of being the useless, normal guy that did computer repair jobs or occasionally sold food I cooked to different people that wanted the recipes. But the year was over, I think I can relax¡­ hopefully¡­ even if I am not that strong, I am decently able to dodge all his throws. It got to the point he started coming in and trying to hit me in his fighting style, he told me to only dodge and keep running to the point that it felt probably just as bad as the body transfer only without the magma in the blood stream. ¡°Ahaha, good, good. You were very obedient and learned to defend yoursel. Now is the time for other lessons such as math, science, etc. You will learn all you can before we toss you into the portal we found. As to what it is, we don¡¯t know; we sent everyone we could send in none has yet to come back out. And to make matters complicated, apparently anyone too strong is kicked back out. So we made your knowledge just enough to pass barely for an advanced user of the arts, sadly we can¡¯t supply you with guns or ammo but swords and a durable clothing that is strong enough to resist cuts by a sharp blade or bullets itself. And as to why we can¡¯t give you guns, this portal refuses to let them enter if you have tried you would have lost an arm at the worst, or not allowed entry.¡± The crazy lady appeared. While letting me take it all in, she has decided that she would wait for a reply from me, like some sort of weapon or soldier trained for war. ¡°¡­. Understood, but¡­.¡± Jona. ¡°But?¡± Lady. ¡°Keep your promise.¡± Jona. ¡°What promise? The one that your family or you won¡¯t have a want or need? Meaning that all bills are paid and food and a place to stay with money to get things they want?¡± Lady. I only nod at her wondering if she is playing me. ¡°That¡¯s already done and taken care of, though you can¡¯t see them anytime soon. If you come back, you¡¯ll be able to reunite with them, but they already think your dead. The reasoing being your body was sent and had a funeral only a week after you started training. It was all paid for and the money they received is still going to go even to their children¡¯s children are dead.¡± Lady. ¡°Good¡­¡± Jona. After that, she led me to a room that was like a library and an instructor was there. This tim it was an old man with glasses, the other instructor was a typical white guy that you see retired from body building, bold and ugly, with this old guy you can feel how fragile his body is but the air around him is as if he seen many wars, and has enough knowledge to probably put these crazy people to shame. This time she just let me in and left like there was no need for her to be in the room. The old man just pointed at a book and forced me to read, each book was different medical herbal books, history, math, science, etc. but the thing about them is they were more for people that already has a basic knowledge of the subjects but I kept silent and read every book he gave me. Really, every book here was enough to blow my old brain into a steaming pile of meat, but this body seems able to retain everything I read, though from time to time Amanda helped me with things I didn¡¯t understand and explained them in the best of her ability, while the old men just silently red his book without a care in the world. (Nuux: I know I am time skipping too much and for that I am sorry T.T) But the terrible training still does not stop, even though I had some acting skills, Amanda took it on herself to teach me more manners than I basically had seen on TV. This really took most of the time. She kept scolding me when I slouched or didn¡¯t sit right, or moved my arms the wrong way even the way I had my legs positioned, to the way of speaking to people but¡­ I really failed on that part simply because I didn¡¯t wish to speak to people. ¡®At least, for now.¡¯ Rose. Well, look who finally talked? I thought that maybe you went back into the depths of our mind afraid of what could grab you.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. ¡®It takes more energy from us if I stay active and you really needed most of it. I sat back and learned most of the books you just skimmed through because you found them boring, you do know this stuff is useful right?¡¯ Rose. Well¡­ it might be but I never prided myself as a smart person, I just want to have the knowledge of survival¡­ no way would I need to know how to make girly clothes¡­ and everything else in there that probably is useless to me, as well as most of the history of this world that was documented¡­ if we are going into a portal of possible of no return, what use is that? Apparently, Rose decided to stay silent after that while desperately trying to remember the current books that are there, mostly because she thinks I won¡¯t dress properly in the future and probably continue dressing in the training gear they have me in since I got here. Well, different colors and designs but mostly seem made by Amanda and she has a bad habit of these pants and now long sleeve shirts with straps on them. I know it¡¯s winter but the straps aren¡¯t that needed, she seems to think they were cute and keeps me in them, well not that they are not comfy but they would need to be a different color, she seems to have all the girly colors¡­ to me black¡­ or red¡­. Or a color that isn¡¯t so bright is more appealing to me. The next day when I thought the training was over because I read every book in that library. However, I was forced to get in a plane then, with the help of the demon instructor Jeff, was forced to jump out of it¡­ God I hate high places¡­ and to add to that, I have to hunt and survive on my own for the last of my training, and that this place has a lot of failed subjects that are more zombie than human or animal. They aren¡¯t infectious like the movies and such; they would still rip me to shreds if I''m not careful. I am left alone in a cabin with a few weapons, no guns, and some dried food that could last a month or so if Ican ration them. ¡°Growl¡± There was a sound that sounded more like wheezing then a growl, but it was loud enough just as if it was outside the door. I grabbed one of the swords that was laying down in the pile of weapons, not really caring which since they are all pretty much the same, it was built like a half katana and half normal sword, since unlike normal katanas the blade really curved into the middle slightly instead of following to the back and is probably lighter than normal ones. But what I saw almost made me lose whatever I had in my stomach, it was half human and half horse or something? I have no idea. It had most of its bones sticking out of it like there were makeshift claws with horse legs on its shoulder blades. A horn is sticking out of its head and it¡¯s eyes were dangling from its head with a slight filmy string attatched to it. The thing has hairy legs with parts of its bones showing, ontop of it all, there is a clear view of its heart that is still beating slowly with its broken open rib cage. It is just standing outside the door, facing it with sharp teeth with a horse head that really has no skin on it. It has two different sets of heads or faces, some sticking right out it¡¯s back facing the other direction while the normal set is facing outwards broken and dangling. And the moment it saw me it let out a growl that, I felt I was going to fall over. What in the world¡­ is this place¡­? Left with no choice but to fight, I went running at it with the basic knowledge I have of fighting, hoping it had a similar anatomy as humans, but the moment I got close it threw one of the claw like things on its shoulders at me making me back step. But not being really use to being hit or attacked from both sides, the other claw got me by surprise scratching across my back. Even though these clothes are suppose to be resistant to cutting and such, it doesn¡¯t stop bones from breaking and skin from ripping. I was pushed over from the back side nearly tripping over my own feet trying to stay in a defensive stance or else I will probably die. The beast didn¡¯t want to give me a chance to catch myself and came lunging after me with the intent to eat me alive while keeping the pressure with its claws coming after me as if it knew that it had me cornered. The moment it got too close it did a stupid move; I didn¡¯t expect it to run itself into the sword I had pointing outwards to try to defend myself while my footing was really unbalanced and it pierced right through its skull and brain out of dumb luck. But i''m not that fortunate, it was able to pierce my leg with one of its claws during the exchange. The scuffle left me scared and alone here with this thing finally dead. Though, its horn would have fell if my sword didn''t pierce it as well¡­ and it would have stabbed me. It would have still stabbed me while it was trying to eat me anyway¡­ I got myself inside the cabin and started looking for bandages and started the fire inside the oven as to not use the fire place to draw more attention that I didn¡¯t want. I am sure¡­ that growl was enough to notify almost any of the creatures here to my location. Once I heated up the blade to it was hot enough, I put a cloth in my mouth to muffle some screams whie I poured the cleaning and anti infection liquids on the wounds, though during the fight, I didn¡¯t really think too much about it¡­ I know I screamed pretty loud when I was first hit and then when it stabbed me¡­. I need to stop being side tracked; I can already feel Rose about ready to snap into a lecture on how it is important to clean the wound and close it, so I put the scolding hot blade onto the wound but this time even with the rag in my mouth I couldn¡¯t help but scream, although it was muffled, it was really painful and probably way worse than any of the training, and about the level of the torture it took to get into this body only on a smaller scale. After wrapping my wounded leg up, I was able to put some sort of splint on it enough to just keep me stable enough to walk slowly; I know getting far is nearly impossible¡­ and the fact they didn¡¯t tell me how long I would have to stay here doesn''t help. I had the feeling I ended up using more medical supplies then needed, but I was certainly not in the right state of mind as there was a freaking monster zombie tried to eat me hell¡­ I can still feel the guts and other organs that were in it when it slightly fell over me. The organs dangled out of the body, although¡­ the body itself was like it came out of a nightmare¡­ so was the smell that it gave off¡­ hell¡­ I can still smell it even from inside here, but I know there is no bath in this cabin since it¡¯s just a one room cabin with weapons seemingly well defended since all the windows were already boarded up. Maybe I was stupid for trying to go and fight it¡­. Maybe if I would of hide myself and waited to it left, I would have been in better shape¡­. ¡®No duh¡­.¡± Rose Great, well deserved sarcasm¡­ I probably thought it would be easy kind of like the zombies in games where they are slow and super dumb¡­ this one¡­ I was lucky that it fell onto my blade and killed itself if. It¡¯s not like I would get that lucky again, especially with my luck that was considered the best out of the stay here¡­ Chapter 3 End of Training GROWL¡­.. A loud growl woke me up. I do not remember when I fell asleep, probably due to my body relaxing a little then I fell asleep on the spot. In addition to that¡­ somehow I feel that this body has a faster healing rate than humanly possible, since the wound on my leg is no longer hurting. I can still say the wound is there, it isn¡¯t as hindering to move, more like just getting the skin and muscle torn some and my bones were sore before the repair. Slowly getting myself to get up to look over the window, but before I could¡­. ¡®Didn¡¯t you learn anything from the last time?¡¯ Rose. Jumping from her random outburst, no this isn¡¯t the time for me to jump¡­ maybe this Rose is just proof I am crazy already, but she does have a point. The last time this happened I nearly died, but now instead of growling, it is more like a sick slurping and crunching noise going on outside, the type of sounds you¡¯d hear when something is eating very sloppy. ¡®Don¡¯t ignore me! You cad!¡¯ Rose. Come on now, Rose¡­ we know I am crazy but no need to for name calling. Since I know the last time I got careless, this time I¡¯m just going to peek over the bottom of the window to look compared to last time that I was stupid and peaked over most of it, even though it was boarded it still had plenty of openings. ¡®¡­¡¯ Rose Apparently she had no comment to say, but I could seriously tell she didn¡¯t like the idea and thought I was an utter idiot. Outside through the cracks, there was two seemingly normal-ish zombie types out there munching on the one I killed before, like it was destined to eat the fallen here even of their own kind. I crawl back to the blade to see if it is broken in anyway, but all I could see was the burn marks from using the flame to heat the tip and then the burnt blood and flesh off my wound that was on it. The blade itself was still in pretty good shape and sharp enough to fight these two off, it might have been just bad luck to get a bigger type before the smaller ones before me, these might be weaker¡­ but this time I decided to not take chances with being cocky and picked up a few daggers and opened the crack in the door as slowly as I could to not make a sound, all the while holding my breath. Luckily, the heads were in view and not looking at my direction, they were giving me perfect angle to throw the daggers, which are probably some kind of sword since they are longer than a dagger I seen before. I threw the daggars one at a time hitting the heads of the zombies killing them in one blow, though¡­ it wasn¡¯t dead center it was close enough to kill them. Luck was on my side today¡­.. I think¡­ The time it took for me to get up and walk out there was longer than normal, since my leg itself still didn¡¯t want to obey completely, it was more like a limp and drag than an actual walk to pull the daggers back out of the zombies. But my luck wasn¡¯t the best and clearly wasn¡¯t on my side today, as soon as I pulled the daggers out, three more zombies popped their heads out of the woods looking at me then, with a low gurgling growl, they charged right after me. ¡°¡­Fuck.¡± Jona. With the lack of proper movement and the two daggers in my hands, the only actual luck I had in this is was before I was in this body; I was pretty decent at throwing daggers with good speed even got to where throwing axes and short swords were fun to do. Can¡¯t blame a guy for wanting to copy a favorite anime character that could bring out infinite blades and sling them like they were arrows, but that¡¯s digressing the point. These things are so disgustingly-vomit inducing that with the smell alone makes you want to keel over; I will say these things are more or less the worst possible outcome in the world. As I threw the two daggers at the two closest ones, killing them as the daggers went through the eyes, I jump backwards and nearly trip over the claw arm behind me while I drew my sword and cut the head of the third one with great effort on my part, since killing these things are more disgusting no thanks to all the rotten blood that comes out, making the smell in the air even worse. GROWL¡­.. Growl¡­.. Growl¡­. Great¡­ from the sound of that there are more than three this time, since it was more like it was five or more coming this direction¡­ so I swiftly picked my daggers back from the zombies with great effort this time, as the daggers were lodged into the eye sockets. It took longer than just taking the daggers from the other zombies before, they probably had weaker skulls compared to the newly killed ones. By the time I was able to finally get back inside the cabin, there were over thirty zombie corpses outside burning to try to purge the stench away and I made sure to keep it from the woods because I don¡¯t know if the instructor is in there somewhere. But if he was, I wouldn¡¯t want him to die that way¡­ if he was to die, it would be by my own hands. Though if it is the same as the zombies and undead in my games, I feel like fire would be a great weakness to them so even if they walk through it could probably kill them before they get too close to the cabin, so it comes off as an extra defense¡­ or so I hope. I got into the cabin yet I was covered in zombie blood and guts with no real way to wash myself off¡­ so disgusting the only option I have is to wipe myself down with the overly huge disinfectant whips that is more like a towel then anything. Strangely, it doesn¡¯t seem to lose its use after last night, so I used it to wipe my face off along with my hands and arms the best I could before getting a little bit of the dried meat. Rose¡­ do you think this will end anytime soon? ¡®Of course, this really doesn¡¯t seem like they want to let you die here, but to let you gain real life experience of war and survival, this is probably some survival graduation test.¡¯ Rose. Why would they ever want to put someone through this? I mean unless they really plan to send me to hell through that portal they we¡¯re talking about this really is seemingly a serious pain. ¡®The test is more of survival than fighting¡­ you''re just one of the type that wants to fight other than just survive.¡¯ Rose then let out a sigh. Well excuse me¡­ I didn¡¯t feel like it was a problem to kill them; I mean they did send me here with infected like monsters. I used to think about how the world would be like in this type of scene as if I wanted zombies to come out and take over; I now know how idiotic that would be, it takes so much effort just to cut and kill them if these blades didn¡¯t have a blade sharper then a razor with good light and yet heavy materials made in it. I would of died multiple times already. ¡®Well, get some rest, I can tell your body needs the sleep since I am in it. I¡¯ll keep watch, since we both share this body one side can rest while the other can stay semi active, though I can¡¯t take control of the body but I can still use the senses.¡¯ Rose. As she said, I was extremely tired enough to fall asleep with a nightmare of today¡¯s events coming into view... ¡­.. ¡­.. ¡­¡­.. I was running again, but the difference was it was people I knew, everyone I cared for, and they were not like normal zombies. They were more like devils in disguise, trying to kill me with many swords and spears unlike the normal type of zombies. The world itself was dipped in red with the sky being blood red and the moon was a laughing skull with burning flames for eyes, laughing at me and following me everywhere I ran. But the problem with all this is the fact I have no weapons at all, I am my old self with no strengths, other then the ability to dodge and run with no effort of the life of every zombie around me. They were hunting me down like a zombie army rushing me in a unit like format marching the same way with blood everywhere else up to my knees so it makes running even rougher than before. ¡°Why did a monster like you have to exist?¡± Mother. ¡°You! You were the cause of my death!¡± Father. ¡°You are the devil reborn on Earth! You should repent and let us have our revenge!¡± Grandmother.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Many more things was said, but it mostly the same, my fears that I carried around with me all my life because I didn¡¯t do anything for them or unable to save them. If I was faster to act I could of saved their lives, if I wasn¡¯t such a coward and didn¡¯t believe in my own signs that was sent me. This time I was surrounded with them rushing me stabbing me with the swords and spears, my blood splattering all over the place with my loud screams. Their laughter was drowned out as they kept stabbing and slicing until I was riddled with holes and cuts. The ground itself buckled soon after and I dropped into pond full of blood, as I sank into the bottom of it, I could still hear their laughing and once I hit the bottom, hands started coming out of the bottom pulling me deeper underground as if to drag me into Hell¡­ ¡­. ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ I jump up awake after that with cold sweat all over my body; I start sighing. I got up to wipe it off my body the best I can; I took my clothes off since I have to put on the same dirty clothes on anyhow but at least I can use this large towel to wipe my body a bit. As I was looking at myself, I noticed the wound on my leg was almost completely healed, all that was left was a scar that looked kind of disgusting. ¡®Boss¡­. You had a nightmare again¡­ you should really stop blaming yourself.¡¯ Rose. That would be impossible, since if I had acted, I know I could of at least saved a few of them. I broke the promise I made to be there for them, in order to take care of them with the money that is supposedly sent to them. I doubt I could ever see them again. The nightmare was more real this time¡­ as if that this place is amplifying the nightmares to become more real like to break me with my own mental Hell. Rose didn¡¯t say anymore, but I could feel the comforting hands on my shoulders amd even though I know it¡¯s impossible, it feels like she¡¯s trying her best to comfort me over this matter. I walk over to the food, thinking that it¡¯s been more than a week here so far and other then the first two days, every other day was more peaceful aside from the nightmares being different ways I die. The nightmares are in the same place and always ends in the same pond of blood at the end. I want is a peaceful life where I didn¡¯t have to kill and could be happy like everyone else. Even if my facial expressions never been much, stuck as a bored, cold face like I no emotions. In my old life, I put on smiles to seem normal but this time it¡¯s quite different. I have to put on a mask to seem cold and with no emotion because I know I have been more afraid of the zombies at the start, which was really the reason for the lapse in judgment and I got hurt, and the same with the second day if I had been calm I wouldn¡¯t of almost tripped over a corpse I knew was there. It was more the emotions of the body that is surprising me, the fear, the hate, and all of them are more new to me making it harder for me to keep a calm collected head. I did the only thing I knew how to do, since I was young when emotions were in the way, I sat down legs crossed and went into meditation to find my inner calm. With this, I am able to control my body and emotions better than I have been because of all the stuff that¡¯s been happening; I can clearly say this is the eye of the storm, it will most likely get worse from now on. Did you know it is harder to get into your inner calm with emotions? It is like they are making you feel and want to think more than you realize, and in a place like this where you can die at any moment really makes you always want to huddle and hide and cry. But after a few hours, I was able to enter my calm minded state in my meditation able to find my inner peace, my happy place. The ability to do this will actually help you move through life even the harshest of lives if you know how to make your mind calm and happy like a saint with no fear or hate, only love and forgiveness. But mine has been always different, it is more like a blank darkness with nothing, no hate, fear, love, or forgiveness. It was more or less just darkness nothing but darkness and with me being the light in the center of it. It has always been my way to calm myself, and inside it feels like time runs differently than outside, I have been able to practice my own methods inside like how to fight, and I was able to remake my enemies and fight them on a harder scale then I can in real life. I make them stronger than they really are to keep calm and practice being able to dodge and copy some moves, since I have memorized every different style of fighting and weapon use. I can use that in here now even if it would take me way longer in real life to do so or get use to them at least I can learn the know how quicker here. Being inside here is like being in the eye of the storm, with weapons all over the place, I decided to train while waiting for the moment to strike like a cobra while being on a defensive stance. Making it up as I go with the fighting with monsters, trainers and even animals that was in the books came in handy, hell I even brought a dragon to the match. Although, it was a dumb decision because it was nearly impossible to kill until it let its guard down and started playing with me like I was a toy. After breaking each sword, I would go straight for another to keep cutting the same spot on the dragon, but it felt like my heart was on edge every time the dragon came after me I would feel like I was going to die. Every cut felt like fire rushing through me while the dragon itself was flailing me around with its tail, ground slamming me over and over like a meat paste with an everlasting pain throughout my body during this ordeal. This place is meant to copy the senses of the real life to get slight experience of how it feels, but I never expected a dragon to be this bad since I made it on a smaller scale than it would have been. If it was real, it was like a trail through fire in here, but eventually I was able to kill the dragon with the last blade leaving nothing left but fire everywhere the dragon had spat out it was similar to napalm. As I was going to train again, I was shocked because Rose stood before me in similar training gear eyeing me. ¡°I didn¡¯t think you would be that stupid to fight a dragon in your mind like this¡­ you really are insane¡­ even went to the point to copy pain even if it¡¯s only mental it still hurt me too you know?!¡± Rose seemed pissed. Without even letting me say anything, she lunged at me with the sword even more practice compared to myself, like she mastered the style and ended up stabbing right into my shoulder without any care and then she kicked me in the stomach to force me to fly back. ¡°You''ve really been ticking me off lately, rushing into things and not taking my thoughts into consideration. You, in fact half the time, make it even hard to speak to you with your stupid inner monologue but I was fine with that, the problem is you are always rushing things before completely thinking it through and IT. TICKS. ME. OFF.¡± Rose. She didn¡¯t even give me much of a chance to get up, like this place was hers and not my own, she decided to throw me like she had the power of the dragon in her then stabbed me in the gut while I was in the air and slammed me back into the ground. ¡°You also never took me or anyone serious? And yet you blame yourself for everything that has gone wrong!?¡± Rose. This time she stood there waiting for me to stand before lunging at me, but this time I was out of my shocked, confused state and parried her blade and sent a kick to her side but she just used her knee to raise to block it before pushing off and jumping back before coming after me again with and over head swing of the blade. I like wise went under to block the swing not because it was too fast to try to strike her otherwise, but with all of this we were just matching blow for blow never any progress and the fact the pain is still there though it isn¡¯t any damage to me per say it just is using my mind to make me think it is there like mind games. ¡°Yet you care for people that care nothing for you in the beginning! Your family, did you know the only ones that actually cared were your Father, Brother, and Sister? Yes your Grandmother loved and cared for you, but even though your Father and Grandmother died, you still had your brother and sister to protect from them, yet you left them in the hands of your other family, without a strong reliable shoulder to rely on. This is the only thing you should regret and blame yourself for! You really thought selling yourself for money was the best thing to do?¡± This time she didn¡¯t even attack she just stood there waiting for me to reply, but I really couldn¡¯t because I thought that they would have a better life without me being there and with the proper money and care they can live their lives happily, but I also broke my promise to be there for them but then again¡­ it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t really love them it¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t understand myself back then. I just didn¡¯t have much emotion since I blocked most of them away because my life was always full of hate and other problems and a cold calm mind was needed. Under the knife like gaze she sent me, I dropped the blade I held onto and dropped to my knees with my head hanging down; I know I am a monster but, she is right, she cared for me more than anyone in this new life, and I didn¡¯t take her words for much more than myself. Even if she is a copy of myself, she is indeed different than me and I should treat her proper respect. I felt tears coming from my eyes and my body started changing due to her gaze and treatment; I thought that emotions were a bother, and a pain more like a decoy that needed to be let go, but from the gaze she sends my way it is like she hated that idea, and wanted me to be warm instead of cold hearted. The moment my emotions started to come out like a drug that is uncontrollable, the mental world around me started changing into a lighter world with a blue sky and grassy fields with darkness lingering in the background always there waiting to devour my emotions to turn me into true monster. She then did like she always does when I wake from my nightmares; she warmly wrapped her arms around my shoulders and said nothing but looked down at me like a warming sister, with dark pink eyes with a bit of gold in the rift around the edge of the eye before the whites of it and silver around the other in a very unique like way that if you didn¡¯t look closely you wouldn¡¯t find them being any different colors in the eyes themselves. Unexpectedly, I heard Jeff¡¯s voice telling me to wake up it¡¯s time to go. They have to move up the time due to an unforeseen problem that happened in the lab, but didn¡¯t say anything more than that. When I opened my eyes, he was staring right down at me in a standing position covered in blood and guts himself, as if he was keeping away most of them and giving me time to rest. I couldn¡¯t help myself but smile at that thought, like the demon would do something so kind for me. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jeff. He didn¡¯t give me time to respond and went off walking with a sword in one hand and a pistol modded with a silencer in the other as we made our way back to the helicopter that brought us here. Yes it was a helicopter, but I have a feeling the paint job was done by Amanda because it¡¯s pink. As fate would have it, I spotted her waving at me from inside the pilot seat and couldn¡¯t help but sigh at her for being such a pink loving nut job. Chapter 4 Into the portal The whole trip back was, more or less, boring as no one talked other than Rose and I. We were going back and forth about why they decided to cut the training short, and what problem could of came up while still glad that we didn¡¯t have to stay there any longer. As we ended up landing, I can tell that they had arm guards ready to shoot me down, if I did anything, as an extra measure to insure that I would follow their lead. No one seemed to want to talk the whole way to the elevator, and that seemed to go down forever. I mean, it wasn¡¯t until I was zoned out into space, thinking of how the hell they built all this crap with the building we''re in and the machines that would let me change my body like it is, and the only thing they decided to say was ¡°Move it.¡± With a gun pointed at my head, I am left with no choice but to walk wherever they were taking me. ¡°Good news, Jona, this is the last time you will be seeing us for awhile.¡± Lady. ¡°Yeah¡­ Jona, I made special clothing for your defense and movement, since you are now one of our ninja squad members.¡± Amanda. She smiled while leading me to the changing room and surprisingly the place had a bath pre made. She helped me wash up with a sad face that looked like she was going to cry. ¡°¡­ What Ninja squad? Why are you making such a face?¡± Jona. She jumped at the way I spoke to her for the first time; I spoke a full sentence to her, though that must because I was trying to distance myself from everyone here. She has never done anything wrong to me, yet I was the one that was constantly rude to her in my own way. ¡°It''s because no one has ever came back from beyond that portal¡­ To tell you the truth, that training you had was to be part of our squad. Also, there are people that think it¡¯s immoral to send you over there, even though you are actually way older.¡± Amanda. Ninja training?? To me, it seemed more like just combat training and an attempt to see how far it would take until I snapped and lost my mind. Though, I guess that is why they made me run and dodge so much to the point that in training I started predicting the projectiles path. As a side result, I became good at throwing weapons while moving, even though I can¡¯t say I am the best, but at least I can survive in that type of world, though here guns are more suitable. ¡°Why not come with me then?¡± Jona ¡°I can¡¯t; I have to stay here with my child back home.¡± Amanda. In the time it took to talk like this, the bath was done and she helped me get dressed with a black shirt that went past my elbows with glowing red designs on the back and the trim, as if it¡¯s powered by some energy source. Nowshe clamps red metal cuffs on the elbow joints that seemd more medieval and then tight fitting black gloves that are cut off at the finger joints with black glowing trims. Next she adds on a metal gauntlet that seems to have a golden snake design all around it, as if it is holding it all together, with slight holes at the base close to my elbow and joint area as if it connects with the joint cuff that is on my elbow. The holes each had a different gem glowing a different color like it¡¯s the power source. There is a hand guard attached to the top of the gauntlet that just has a ring that goes over my middle finger on both hands. A chest guard is included that seems to just cover my front, down to my belly. The black and red straps that tend to go around the back to the left side before it claps together with a wire that tends to go in the middle of my shoulder blades to another piece of red metal to hold it together. All that is coupled with a skirt that matches the top, namely glowing designs with trim. Under the skirt, are straps on both legs to hide throwing knives that are still the red and black color theme. Long, black stocking that go up to meet the end of the skirt have the same red glowing trims. Knee high red metal boots copy the gauntlets designs, but unlike classic metal, it is light and soundless when I move, as if it¡¯s designed specifically for defense while not hindering black op type missions. Amanda handed me a silver sword that has a black handle with red Japanese like glyphs on the blade and it comes with a twin, the only difference is the handle is being golden, and helped me strap both to my back. But that wasn¡¯t the end of it, there was yet another blade only it¡¯s red to match the outfit, as it had glowing lines inside the sheath that seemed to be alive, with a blade that was a pretty black all the way down. A dragon is wrapping itself on the handle and biting down on the end of it as if it¡¯s trying to eat the blade starting from the handle. Then the worst part was the panties and sports bra, they did exactly match the outfit and when wearing them it felt like it was grabbing a hold of me but still comforting. The bag she gave me was longer then the blades themselves, it went down to my knees, and inside it, she told me, were spare undergarments and other healing supplies as well as blade cleaning tools, and that the last blade itself was designed to have an energy source that could act like a plasma cutter. But the bag¡­. Being pink¡­. And fluffy around the edges meant that it was also probably one of her designs, and I know inside it has a lot of pink outfits¡­ most likely¡­ ¡°Well¡­ it has been tough on you, but when you come back, successful or not, I¡¯ll always welcome you back.¡± Amanda said while trying to hold in her own tears. ¡°I¡­.¡± As I was about to say something, the crazy bitch of a lady came in. ¡°Hurry up! We do not have all day for your useless, petty crap!¡± Lady.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. She motioned a few men with guns to come in pointing them at me, as if she is pressed for time, but even as much as a bitch she is, I can tell she¡¯s even trying to hold in tears because she isn¡¯t that mean to children just men, and she is probably ordered to hurry things along. so even if I find her crazy, I can¡¯t hate her. As I was forced to walk to the gate that locked the portal up, I was shoved into the gate once it opened and locked inside it. Suddenly, a forceful pull of the portal sucked me in it without giving me much time of a do anything.
Welcome~ to the world of Expida
This world has had too many people come in from other worlds that would kill us with the load of work they put behind them. The world itself has opened the portals that let you to come into a different world, since your old one is on the end of its leg with all the humans that are populating it and the pollution the air. As a gift, I will then also tell you that you will have all your classes up to 10 and jobs up to 10 of your game characters. I picked the ones that would best fit you in this world, though to be able to use all of them is next to impossible, it isn''t a pain if you train enough. I will need to explain the difference between Jobs and Classes. In this world, Jobs are vocational roles like teacher, blacksmith, and so on. Classes are combat roles such as warrior, mage, cleric, and along those lines. Everyone, including you, will be able to set only 2 at a time. I have also given you a chocker, that has a red shiny gem, to match your outfit. It is an item box; it holds all of your character items and gear. Please note that I only picked 2 classes of yours that you had maxed out, one was Paladin, and the other was Blade Dancer. The rest of them are in the mid range of 20 - 50, with all the spells or skills your characters had, but only can be active and used when they are set. Your jobs have all been put at the 50 range since it is common and does no damage to our world if you have them that high. Sadly I won''t max them because we do not want to take away the joy of leveling them yourself. As to set jobs, you need to find a stone that is in your item box to do so. And as a last gift, the War God and I have gave you our blessing for bonus stats for surviving in this world. Good luck. If you have questions, go to his temple or my own and pray.
As I entered the world, this message from the goddess had entered in front of my eyes like in the novels I read when I was bored. But I have an item box? And instantly, when I heard of choker, I went up to feel my throat and, sure enough, it was there. It felt like rubber, so I can pull it off if I wanted too but it¡¯s best to keep it there, but how do I use it? Didn¡¯t the characters in the book always send their energy? Well let¡¯s give it a shot. As I did, I could feel my classes from BD*, F**Ta, E**n, and a few others. Though like she said, she only gave me ten classes. I was happy that I still got to keep all my crafting classes that I loved since I really only ever did ten of them. As for the jobs, she let me keep, from the looks of the crafting gears, was Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Chief, Scavenger, Carpeting, Princess, Teacher, Locksmith, Alchemist, and Dancer. As to why the Princess Job is there¡­. I really have no clue; I never played a game with that one. Same with teacher, but I guess she just threw them in somehow? As for the classes, she said the first two would be Paladin and Blade Dancer. As for the rest, they would be Hunter, Braver, Challenger, Tamer, Witch, Dragon Knight, Kunoichi, and Medic. These classes are the ones I really did use, so my guess is they mixed most of my ranged classes to make Hunter and as for braver, it is like a samurai that uses katanas but only meant to use katanas in this world since a lot of these classes tend to copy each other¡­ just one is more specialized in different areas of that. If they have stuff like that, then wouldn¡¯t that mean I have the ability to see my status as well? I might as well as try like in the stories I read; so I thought about the word status in my head in hopes to get it to pop up.

¡®Well now, Princess~ You need to be more proper now and speak more¡­ Geez I go to sleep to wake up in some sort of game world? Really? You are in the portal and it is turned into a game interface¡­ Just like in the novels you have inside your head.¡¯ Rose. Well¡­ not that I wanted to be a princess to begin with, Rose, but it looks like my health is still low¡­ from all that stuff we been through. ¡®Well it is fine, but your outfit is pretty badass~ and you seem broken kind of like a typical novel character.¡¯ Rose. The Goddess did say that I wasn¡¯t over powered, and really the classes and such match what they were in the game. I just am not sure what spiritual is, because it seems to just be barely used? Probably that healing power? Since I really didn¡¯t have the use to use mana back home. ¡®Look at the area around us, it¡¯s like we are in the middle of nowhere¡­. Do we even have skills?¡¯ Rose. We should, since the classes are there¡­.. maybe I have to think of the ¡®skill list¡¯ just as I was thinking of it, the skill list popped up right before my eyes.

Well now, this is super interesting, it seems I did keep most my skills from my game characters. Though, some are lower than what I had and medic just seems to be a lower version. As for titles¡­ they aren¡¯t as important. The area all around seems to be woods, but luckily I am on a road. So I will just follow the right side until I get somewhere. No point in waiting around for something to come to me. Chapter 5 Bandit rescue? The road is well made and is easy to follow, though some parts are uneven it isn¡¯t that hard. But on the way I decided to try to practice Holy Magic in process to lv it and to heal my health back to full, but it was harder than one would expect specially the imagining of the healing art. It was mostly imaging the human body getting rejuvenated and full of life, but to me even with following that train of thought the healing seemed to only heal thirty health every minute or so at the cost of twenty mana, though it keep a good time waster. ¡®I could do the training for you~¡¯ Rose Indeed you can because you¡¯re me, but something tells me that it would be a moot point if you learned how to do it all even if you told me or I could access the memory of it won¡¯t be the same as actually doing it. ¡®I mean to me wouldn¡¯t it be easier to just imaging a warm healing light?¡¯ Rose ¡­. Really, why didn¡¯t I think of that¡­ most likely cause I am still not believing in the concept of magic, really in my eyes it is pretty illogical, and I have also noticed I can¡¯t change the Job ¡°Princess¡± it is like it is locked on the first job as if I only have one spare job that I could change. When I imagined the way to heal myself the way Rose suggested I ended up healing over one hundred health at one go for fifty mana to be compared to the before it is much more beneficial to use. While I was at it the Holy Magic went up to lv 3 in a short time, but the short time really was more like two days of traveling cause I didn¡¯t want to waste too much mana on healing when it seems to be slightly used in coordination of spiritual to use my Ninjutsu similar to the ways they Qi is used in the books by coating myself inside this energy. Even more like the chakra is just the mana and spiritual energy combined, never higher than the spiritual part, so even if I have more mana I can only use the same amount as the spiritual for it. The worst part is the spiritual energy just takes forever to recharge, it takes at least an hour at the moment to even recharge forty points. Though it doesn¡¯t take much to use the skills at the bare minimum but if I used it with full power it would end up taking a lot of it. The trees are very pretty here as well not only that but the air is clean and crisp no pollution here, probably no guns and cars either, or at least I hope there isn¡¯t any. ¡°Oi, you dirty bandits what do you have to say for yourself!¡± Knight A ¡°Yea, you been walking around the streets to much lately.¡± Knight B ¡°But¡­ I am not a ba¡­.¡± Bandit Girl ¡°Shut up! We will deliver justice!¡± Knight A Without even any warning the Knight A slashed the girl pushing her down with a gash over her chest. These people are disgusting¡­ calling her a bandit¡­ and won¡¯t even let her defend herself? Not like it has anything to do with me nor do I even care to save her but it¡¯s like they are in my way. ¡°Move it¡­¡± Jona I mean it they are like in my way¡­ blocking the whole road with their bodies and horses, but I guess I had the reverse effect since they both turned to me with their swords facing me with a disgusting smile. Though I did see a bit of shock when they first turned around but once they found out I was female they decided to smile like they found another pretty target. Sigh¡­.. really this is too clich¨¦ for me¡­ although it¡¯s knights and not bandits doing it¡­ but who cares. ¡°Can you move?¡± Jona ¡°Oi! You dumb bandit you can¡¯t tell me what to do!¡± Knight A ¡°Yeah you should be passive like this other wench!¡± Knight B I think I will start calling Knight B Lackey One since he just is there for a follow up. ¡®Can you try the cloning? So I can deal with them?¡¯ Rose You do know that I can only do it once a day right? We tried it a couple days ago it takes nearly all my spiritual energy¡­. But yeah it lets you move¡­. So yea I¡¯ll leave it to you friend. I just left my third katana on my hip while using both hands to make symbols between each other at a fast pace with a spark of energy starting to flow around me and the space beside me a clone with the same exact looks except the only thing different is the eyes were blue. Even I have no idea why my pink eyes don¡¯t copy over then set back and did the transfer of Rose through our own style since we are one mind meaning she can control the clones like her own body. Though only one clone is what I can make recently ¡°Ah¡­ this is much better¡­. Ehehe¡­.¡± Rose ¡°huh?¡± Knight A ¡°What?¡± Lackey One They seemed to be shocked at what was going on but Rose didn¡¯t seem to care. ¡°Now.. then boys~ I will make you more beautiful~ with a pretty cuts here and there~¡± Rose She seemed to be basically singing even though the clone is half my stats the swords also copied over though probably half the normal compatibility and she didn¡¯t even bother with the ones on her back and just keep the red dragon one and walked towards them humming the theme song from D**TH Va**er while trying her best to stay calm. Though it only served to piss the Knights off as they charged her but the sad thing is she just did to them what she did to me¡­. Stabbed them both in the sword arms shoulder though she went right between the armor joints to make sure she got past the bone and out to the other side in quick sessions almost like she didn¡¯t really move the blade as she keep walking towards them with a killing them for what they did for some reason. ¡°You dare harm some one? And not even give them a chance to speak? Didn¡¯t you really clearly hear her? She isn¡¯t a bandit¡­. Hell her clothes alone are more like a normal girl just out to get flowers! Just look at that basket beside her you idiots~!¡± Rose She seems to still be singing but I think it¡¯s mostly to keep her calm since I never really seen her angry other than that time she beat my ass up and down to next week¡­. But as she was messing with them I decided to stealthy move behind them to the girl and as Rose said the girl is probably just some commoner at the wrong time and wrong place. ¡°shh¡­ It¡¯s okay¡­ ¡° Jona Trying to sooth the girl and check her vitals at the same time, she is really shaking and pale cause of the blood lose, though I can heal her I don¡¯t know if I can heal her blood lose here meaning that she¡¯ll probably need more rest then I can give here at the moment. ¡°ah¡­ ah?¡± Girl ¡°No need to speak¡± Jona Then while the Idiot Knights were being distracted by Rose, I ended up using some of my mana to heal the wound on her chest though it will probably leave a scar, it is at least not bleeding anymore and I was able to help her off to the side as we watch Rose sigh in relief as she knows that I took care of her worry, then her acting like she has been just dropped and the Rose I knew before came out without a smile.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. The knights seemed to be fighting her two on one, but she wanted to fight so I will let her take care of it herself, though it isn¡¯t that hard it seems though they might have more power than she has more speed with her blade like a cobra waiting to strike at the right moment without any flaws in her movements similar to the Blade Dancer Class though the clones can only use one Class and one Job at a time it is more to say that she just sticks with the Dancer class since it is more or less in movement and synergy. The blades of the knights didn¡¯t even get close to her as she keep dancing around them striking their legs, arms, back, even the sides and chest area with quick motions only making them grow angrier as they keep telling her to stand still but the energy she is using is too much for the clone at the moment so she has to finish it pretty fast or she will poof cause the clone will vanish once all the energy used in it vanishes because it becomes impossible to keep it stable. ¡°Well guys¡­ it¡¯s time to finish this¡± Rose {Dancing Requiem of the Dragon¡¯s Wrath} The next moment her blade growled like it was a dragon on its own cutting through their swords and armor in one fast spin around killing them both in one move as she broke up into flower pedals that scattered off with the wind in the blood that splashed all over the place. ¡®Well.. that was fun¡­¡¯ Rose Why did you even want to fight in the first place? ¡®Cause to hit innocence and charge then without giving them any way to defend themselves just pissed me off.¡¯ Rose Well¡­ remind me to never get on your bad side like that, even though I took a beating¡­.. ¡®I am sorry¡­ I was trying not to end up being creepy¡­ and super angry cause I didn¡¯t know if they would take the girl as hostage¡¯ Rose You didn¡¯t end up being that creepy though in the future¡­ singing and humming while being angry and wanting to kill them isn¡¯t a good idea¡­ ¡®Sorry¡­¡¯ Rose No need to be sorry you wanted to save the girl and you had probably a lot of pent up angry cause of me to begin with. ¡°Excuse me¡­..¡± Girl I looked down at her covering her chest that was cut blushing for some odd reason, though she is about 16 years old, with curly brown hair and a common type dress you¡¯d see cheaply made and mostly used as a night gown in my old world, though it had some leather around the front of it like an apron. ¡°Sorry, for before.¡± Jona I decided to take my bag off my back because I seemed forgotten, though it seems more or less lighter than before? Did the strength of the blessings really make me that strong? Though I am sure they wouldn¡¯t make me too broken, and the fact the last move that Rose used was a pretty high level move¡­ making it sap even my remainder spiritual energy leaving me with only ten left and it would take a few days to recover. ¡°N-No need to be sorry!¡± she bowed her head I wonder why she is bowing her head¡­ anyhow let¡¯s get this pink coat out of my bag that seemed to have three or four of in there so I got the most common one¡­ looks more like a bath robe but still pretty useful to cover herself while holding it out to her. ¡°Use this.¡± Jona She just stared blankly at it as the rest of the bag ended up into my inventory now since I didn¡¯t feel like putting it back on my back long with the two swords on my back since they are slightly problematic if a town guard sees me using that many, maybe? ¡°I¡­¡± Girl ¡°Use it!¡± Jona I didn¡¯t care for her next words about to say she can¡¯t accept something valuable or the likes. She put it on in a rush like she was ordered by a master. The time I ended up doing was sighing at how she is acting and patted her head even though she is older than this body I didn¡¯t want her to be tense. ¡°Calm down, Kay?¡± Jona She seemed to calm down a bit but kept her body tense like she was in the presence of someone of that would punish her if she did anything wrong. ¡°Let¡¯s get you home okay?¡± Jona She jumped a bit but nodded and as I helped her up and walking a over to the only horse that survived the battle while helping her up onto it before getting in front of her since I am smaller then her.. it would be a pain to reach over her to guide the horse the way she points to go. What? Didn¡¯t expect me to be able to ride a horse? Well tough I use to do it all the time back in my camping days. ¡®You need to stop doing that¡­.¡¯ Rose Rose sounded sleepy and like she was about to blank out before I felt her presence in the back of my mind sleeping inside the mental space she beat me at. Apparently with her staying there it is easier to enter or at least watch over. ¡°Oh I forgot to even introduce myself, my name is Jona, a wonderer.¡± Jona ¡°Eh? You¡¯re not royalty?¡± Sam ¡°eh¡­. For the most part¡­.¡±Jona ¡°eh? Well¡­ I am Samantha¡­ ¡± Sam Yeah¡­ I figured she¡¯d be a Sam as the way she keeps looking at me up and down like I am some exotic animal. Once the village came into view she seemed to sigh in relief as we got closer to the gate one of the guards seen us though I put my blades into my storage device, I¡¯m probably still dressed in stuff normal people wouldn¡¯t wear and to top it off I put on the hood that was packed into the inner part of the top I had kind of like one of the zipped up hoods in some jackets, though it wasn¡¯t zipped just stuck in a pocket in the back of the neck. ¡°Sam who is this?¡± Guard one ¡°It¡¯s my savior that took out too gross knights from some noble.¡± Sam ¡°Well we need to still check her out.. but you can go ahead and go in¡± Guard two ¡°O-okay..¡± Sam She got down off the horse but before she could walk away I grabbed her arm before getting off the horse and it made her even tenser. ¡°Take the horse and get it a place to rest okay? It¡¯s been through a lot today just like you¡± Jona Sigh¡­ I hate talking so much¡­ ¡°O-okay¡­¡± Sam She seemed to understand that the horse needs water and care and besides it isn¡¯t mine to begin with but I can¡¯t let it rest in front of these guards something is telling me they would try something, luckily my chocker is hidden within my collar of my shirt. When she left the guards seemed to be more relaxed as if they had a crush on the poor girl. ¡°Well.. We would like to take you into the guard house to question you on what has happened if you¡¯re okay with that.¡± Guard one ¡°Sure¡­. If it keeps her safe¡± Jona Both guards seemed to relax even more and even nod in agreement as they lead me to the small brick house that seemed to be their guard station or house as they call it kind of like the mid-evil version of police. Once inside there was an old man looking like he seen too many wars and battles with so many scars over his face and arms, inside plate armor like an old knight of old that you¡¯d see in stories. ¡°I hear you killed two Knights, even if they were evil it is still a crime.¡± Old man ¡°So¡­?¡± Jona Like I care if it¡¯s a crime it is self defense¡­ and the girl herself was saved so no need for me to say anything even though he shouldn¡¯t know the story so fast. ¡°The girl you saved was my granddaughter¡± Old man ¡°Oh¡­ she talked about it?¡± Jona ¡°yep¡­ she seemed to be taken you as an idol¡± Old man That would explain how he knows¡­ but how fast? And how clich¨¦¡­. I mean to be able to save the girl that is the granddaughter of the knight caption it¡¯s like saying I am inside one of the boring story books so far. ¡°Before we can go anything we need to see your status, so would you please put your arm on this orb here on the table I can promise you would be the only one other than me that would see it.¡± Old man I just nodded since I talked to much as is¡­ didn¡¯t even like talking to strangers one bit it¡¯s like they aren¡¯t worth it¡­. The orb in the middle of the table had a glowing shiny pink¡­ kind of like the pink Amanda loved the most¡­ ew¡­..

¡°Pr-Princess!¡± Old man seemed to change his attitude from a more relaxed to a tense one similar to Sam. ¡°So?¡± Jona ¡°what.. kingdom?¡± Old man. He seems to be shaking and I could only tilt my head as I thought of an excuse for the title I had probably use something out of a book I read but nothing really important. ¡°I¡­ don¡¯t know¡­ I lost most of my memory¡± Jona ¡°About how much is lost?¡± Old man ¡°All of my childhood, and knowledge of the kingdoms of this world¡­ all I know is the name I called myself since I woke up¡± Jona Sigh¡­. Such a pain¡­. ¡°Well¡­ we can do a research with a magic tool to see where you came from, since your clearly human it will be one of the kingdoms we of this land.¡± Old man. I¡­ would rather not be caught up in politics¡­.. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t want to be caught up in a war between the royal family¡­ and anything of that matter I had to be thrown into hell for a reason..¡± ¡°Well¡­ how about taking a rest and we can get back at this later?¡± Old man. ¡°yeah¡­¡± Jona A bath would help lots¡­ The old man seemed to get up personally and guided me to a inn that seemed to be the only one in this village and some hushed talks with the inn keeper that I couldn¡¯t hear before grabbing a key and bringing me to a room that wasn¡¯t very good¡­ but smaller then my old poor house room but at least it had a barrel which I am sure would be my bath thing. ¡°Bath¡­¡± Jona As a maid was walking in the hall I asked or more like said and since I was with the old man I am sure she was faster than normal because she bowed and ran off as anyone could in a maid outfit. After the bath I felt a lot better as I was lying on the hard bed which was better than that cabin floor¡­ as I fell asleep thinking of why the old man said human because my race is something else¡­. Chapter 6: Royal Pain Part 1 I was woken up by the smell that came into the room from down stairs I have no idea how my senses was this good, but the smell of food woke me up faster than I could expect since I really only been eating dried food since the trip to the island and to now. Getting up and noticing that I am practically drooling cause of the smell of cooked vegetables and meat in the air. Before I could even thing much of the matter I noticed I was dressed already and in the tavern area where they are serving food eyeing the kitchen with great effort. *Coughs* Trying to control herself better and act like she was waiting on service, and just tried to get the attention of the Inn Attendant lady at the counter. ¡°OH, How may I help you young lady?¡± Inn Lady ¡°Food¡­..¡± Jona Before she could even finished her stomach growled as if it was protesting making her embarresed on the inside but decided to keep her poker face active as to not blush, but it didn¡¯t keep Rose from laughing and rolling around in her mind calling her super cute between laughs and the attempt to catch her breath. ¡°Yes we are serving food may I get you some? But I am sorry since the lack of supplies here all we can do is give a single bowl of vegetable stew and bread.¡± Inn Lady ¡°The stew has meat?¡± Jona ¡°Yes¡­ it does but it¡¯s also best to not ask where it came from¡± Inn Lady ¡°Okay¡­ want¡± Jona The Inn lady just nodded and went back to the kitchen while she herself made her way to an empty table to sit and keep her ears open for any gossip or interesting topics in this place. If this¡­ is anything like the stories I read I should be able to figure some stuff out a little of what¡¯s going on around these parts though it might just be me being to over thoughtful on their usefulness¡­ Since most of them were just talking about monsters they¡¯ve killed, where to stay away from if you didn¡¯t have any sort of sneaking ability because of the army there looking for some long lost princess¡­.. ¡­.. ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­ I sure hope that isn¡¯t me. Anyhow as to describe how me and Rose could do this cloning and knew it would work is practically simple boredom one day with nothing to do. {Flashback} ¡°I have kicked your ass a bit too much as is. I know you can come in here anytime you want during meditation.¡± Rose She sighed and then looked back at me with a blade in her hand as if she wanted to fight a lot more than matching the same moves over and over. ¡°Why not try to change your class?¡± Jona ¡°Well I would if I knew how too¡­ inside this place isn¡¯t like we have the gems right?¡± Rose ¡°This place is a type of Domain spell similar to illusions, but mostly a dream state inside the mind that¡¯s why we can talk to each other. Other words a mind trick where I trick my mind into believing into reality of this¡± Jona Rose seemed to understand and thought of the class change of her own and gem with a dancer appeared in front of her and shined brightly when she grabbed it and the air around her changed as if she herself seemed to be more beautiful than normal. ¡°Jona, I am going to try to act a bit it¡¯s off the stories and crazy people to see if I can get it down, cause in battle if you can get your enemies to flinch and show fear you will have the upper hand¡± Rose Then she just calmed her breath before smiling like any classical yandere from a anime I loved I could swear I seen a demon behind her making me wanting to back up a little bit, but what was the creepiest was how she laughed making it echo inside this place before walking towards me humming a song in between giggles. ¡°Oh deary~ let me see how pretty your face can be without that mask of skin~¡± Rose And she came up close to me making me make a mistake before I rose my guard she had already kicked me in the gut sending me flying with a loud cough feeling like blood is coming up my throat. ¡°Oh my~ did that hurt?¡± Rose She was already at my ear blowing in it with that same smile before kicking me in the side throwing me even farther away hitting one of the recent trees we made to make this place more lively. ¡°ku ku ku~ Come on now little one, scream for me~¡± Rose She is totally getting into this, and I personally think she¡¯s going too far with it but then she seemingly kicked me in the head in the next moment and I blanked out. ¡­.. ¡­¡­.. ¡­¡­¡­¡­. {Pov: Rose) As you already know I am Rose, but before that I couldn¡¯t move anything at all my body was just stuck no life, and really nothing but darkness with no reason to move on, and it went on like that for what seemed enternity but then a major shock of pain that was really impossible for me to describe came over me leaving me with nothing but fear of what¡¯s going on. When I finally came to after probably the pain being too much for me to even handle¡­ there was someone moving my body, but I couldn¡¯t speak to her either but she seemed to be slightly smart¡­ by her thoughts of hers she was already doubting the people here, and not trusting them at all. When I could finally talk to her she was having a nightmare according to her memories and one that was too hard for me to describe myself, but I had the feeling of just wanting to protect this small person that even though she was inside my body, she might even be younger than me.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. I ended up talking to her after that dream, though she¡¯s a bit weird even though I am here she keep taking to herself throughout it all taking it up on herself and acting rashly. And when we got to the point to where I first was mad at her and beat her up while making it up to her. The second time is me trying to act the part of one of her favorite characters with my own twist, but I know I over did it with the last kick to the head, I had thought since it¡¯s a dream plane one can¡¯t get knocked out. But what happened next scared me more than my acting because she got up seemingly blank minded with none of her old self inside her and eyes of a dead killer¡­. The next think I knew I was being thrown in the air without her even touching me like she herself was just using pure power to fight me while fighting close to me leaving me no way to defend myself. I really regret acting like that but it was a lesson she needed¡­ if someone that was really that way were to fight her¡­ without me being able to help her she would lose , I know how kind hearted she really is, maybe a little childish but she acts the way she does on the outside to avoid being hurt, I can see that by her memories. I could only cry at my foolishness for scaring her like that, but she slammed me down to the ground with such force even the power I can¡¯t see or feel like she is using some sort of hidden arm to throw me around like a rag doll¡­ but the moment she let up I could only do one thing and hug her tightly trying to get her to come back to herself. ¡°Jona! Wake up! I know you¡¯re in there!¡± Rose I know it isn¡¯t really going to happen but I know if this is as clich¨¦ as it seems this might work¡­. But real life is never the same cause the next moment she just threw me off as the darkness that she drove away before when I first got mad at her started closing in on this space even more like it was alive on its own. But I guess luck was on my own side because she vanished and the place went back to normal as I had known she really had feeling asleep. ¡®you.. shouldn¡¯t of knocked me out like that¡¯ Jona What seemed like a few hours she seemed mad at me making a comment like she didn¡¯t even remember what she did. ¡°Do you even remember anything after that?¡± Rose ¡®huh? There is nothing to remember when your knocked out you know¡­ I can¡¯t be inside that place unless I am meditating other so when I actually sleep it¡¯s impossible¡¯ Jona So it¡¯s true the girl doesn¡¯t know what she did or what happened¡­ ¡°I only did what I did to get you ready for the future if you ran into an enemy like that¡± Rose ¡®Well you should only do that on moderation¡­ and on enemies not me it was scary as hell¡¯ Jona I couldn¡¯t help myself but smile happily at her and giggle, yes this girl is more of a child then I am, and I swear to you gods above I would do anything in my power to keep this girl safe. ¡°So what about the clones?¡± Rose ¡®Clones?¡¯ Jona Dear god, is this girl brain dead? ¡°The move to your Kunoichi class maybe we can use it to let me take over one of them as a temporary body to help you in special cases.¡± Rose ¡®oh¡­. OH! Yeah we can do that, but since I don¡¯t know how to activate them yet it would be a bit hard¡­.¡¯ Jona ¡­. Really? And as many books she read? She can¡¯t activate them? Maybe she is just really brain dead at the moment or the type that really doesn¡¯t think too often¡­. Well the important stuff anyhow¡­ she even kept just scanning through the books she was told to read¡­ without much care¡­ ¡°Just act like one of your story characters and how they used the skills.¡± Rose Then she seemed to understand and closed her eyes cause I couldn¡¯t see the outside world anymore since we share senses, and started moving her hands as if in an absent minded motion making symbols fast similar to what you see in a famous idiot out of one of her animes and her words that came out was a bit utterly different then what I¡¯d expect. {Perfect clone} And over 200 of her spiritual energy was taken though only minor bit of mana was taken making it a bit confusing since mana recovers a lot faster than her spiritual energy leaving her with almost none left though she tends to train it by using it she can make it slowly increase or so we hope. And to make matters worse I know she is using too much spiritual power to make it then it is actually needed but I am sure¡­ if she used too little our connection might also be lower. The clone itself was an exact replica of her except for the eyes being a different color, that even confused her. ¡®now what?¡¯ Jona ¡°Let me try something¡± Rose I then concentrated my being like you would see in animes and imaged myself being inside the body of the clone and the next thing I knew I could control the body as if it was my own, but I can still feel that I was inside Jona¡¯s head I was just connected to the body and able to move it. ¡°What was with the ¡®perfect clone¡¯ move?¡± Rose That really was no need to add the world perfect right? ¡°Well I figured with my knowledge of the human body¡­. I could make a clone that was exactly the same as a human with all the knowledge making it more than just a clone.¡± Jona She seemed to look down a bit since she has had a habit of letting her guard down with just me, so I can see her face had turned red so she¡¯s just trying to hide it a bit. Cute¡­.. ¡°Well should we try different moves?¡± Rose She nodded and by the end of the day we figured out how to use all of the moves she had and the ¡®Blackmoon Dance¡¯ was really something since it could it was better with a clone so it with both of us was able to make it into a waltz of blades. So¡­ I wonder what my status is?

Well that¡¯s a bit over powered? But a few skills are locked¡­ meaning I can¡¯t use them cause of being a clone¡­ too bad¡­ But I do wonder what ¡®Path¡¯ is¡­
Path
Path is a set of footwork that is only used by the forgotten Royal Family of Flames. The dungeon it self has sense been sealed keeping the demons from spawning out too much, but sadly there has been too many of them that has released on that day and is still raiding villages too today. This Path art comes in three different skills: Forgotten Seal: is an art where you seal the movements of your enemies in a small time frame depending on it''s level the air around the target seems to hold them steal for a small time frame kinda similar to a time stop ability, but this skill is forgotten for a reason. The only ones able to use this is the people of royal blood, if anyone else was to try they would end up frozen as well. Making this skill pretty useless to anyone else. Forbidden Art: As it is said it is forbidden even the Royal family didn''t use this one unless it was the last resort, it is like trading ones life for power, and if it didn''t kill the user even Royality would be unable to fight anymore, and would be weaker then a commoner with no power. This art it self brings the life force of the user into a storm of blades around the user cutting and killing anything in a thirty metter radious. Unknown Seal: this is an Art that is even forgotten, no one not even the Royal family has been able to unlock it''s secrets.
Well¡­ I guess I won¡¯t be using thoughs skills for a while since all of them seem to be iffy¡­.. but the rest is pretty self explanatory since they are out of the game since the three dances buff allies while fighting and hurting the enemies, Fire increases moral and str, Blades increases speed and sharpness of a blade, demons takes away the feel of pain making them like demons on the battlefield, while Requiem of Angels it self even though it¡¯s locked I know what it does, it is a healing dance where everyone in the radious will be healed of any wound, at the cost of the users health and mana, but it would never kill the user just make them really tired. Elemental stance is similar to a martial arts except it uses the elements that dance along with your blade. And the rest is pretty much explanatory right??? ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. {End of flashback/ POV: Jona} Well that was a good breakfast¡­. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jona There is a woman in front of me with a hood on eyeing me like I am some treasure they must have. Chapter 7: Royal Pain Part 2 ¡°That is simple Your Highness¡± the crazy lady said. I just sighed I hate people like this that expect me to know why and who they are by looking at them I can tell they think I should know who they are. ¡°And who are you?¡± Jona ¡°Your Royal Knight¡± Knight girl. ¡­.. really is this being some sort of joke? I didn¡¯t even ask for any sort of crap like this since I can take care of myself, and being around more people makes me have to talk more to them which are a total pain¡­.. I am about to lose control of myself.. .which isn¡¯t going to be a pretty sight¡­ because I can feel the blood vessels on my head popping. ¡°What is your name.¡± Jona I said it this time with more demand in my voice then a question cause I am really getting tired of this bullshit that shouldn¡¯t even be happening all this sudden and no way in hell will I be dragged off to some useless Kingdom, then get dumped and exiled or killed by some plot of the government they run to have me take the blame. ¡°Nimue is my name, of the Kingdom of Stars¡± Nimue. And why are you my knight? I am not even a fucking elf! ¡°And why are you to serve me?¡±Jona ¡°Cause us Elven Knights only will serve someone of great power and bloodline.¡± Nimue ¡°And you think I am someone like that?¡± Jona ¡°Yes, do you accept my service?¡± Nimue ¡­. Really? Why do the fucking Elves want to serve someone with high power? Isn¡¯t that supposed to be beastmen? And the like? ¡°No¡­¡± Jona ¡°I kne¡­.What?!¡± Nimue ¡°No¡­ I have no need of you¡± Jona I rather not have someone watching me all the time and trying to get me into their side of crap. ¡°Young Miss, I would take her up on the offer Royal Knights are special, they do not serve any kingdom, since their Kingdom of Stars is a floating island with nothing but strong warriors of Elves and Fairies, even Beastmen live there, but the only Royal Knights that has ever left their home are the Elves, the rest stick there and stay to themselves serving no one too someone comes to them.¡± Old men I can¡¯t help but think this will be pushed on me¡­ even if I denied it¡­. Sigh¡­. Is this how fate plays with people? Making them lose their minds and want to kill everyone else? ¡°¡­. Why¡­?¡± Jona Keeping my inner torment to myself and Rose I got a feeling they would have told me even if I would turn them down. ¡°Have you even seen your titles?¡± Old men Now that you think about it I never took time to look¡­.
Lost Princess of FlamesMartial Prodigy
Child ProdigyChosen of the Gods
¡­. That would explain why want to protect me because most prodigies usually died early¡­ ¡°No¡­ I seen my titles, but I rather not be watched like a child¡± Jona And I rather not have the pain of having to protect more people than survival¡­ since Knights I seen before are more disgusting, the views of knights to me are more or less trash. ¡°And do you know the Kingdom of Flames has been destroyed for over 40 years?¡± Old men ¡°No¡­¡± JonaThis tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°They have held their ground against the demon beast that was a lot of bone dragons and even more powerful monsters for longer than any other war in history? They were the real Geniuses of War, they were able to destroy over half of the monsters that came out which counted over the millions with only one hundred thousand people, their king alone was able to slay a large amount by himself known as the Reaper of Flames¡± Old men said with pride as if he seen it with his own eyes. ¡°So?¡± Jona Sigh¡­. Why would I care of what happened in the past? It¡¯s not like I have any need to worry about the past. ¡°Oi, just take her with you if you find her useless after a few days you can tell her and she¡¯d leave, they are like this. Even if you told her no she would follow you everywhere to you accepted it.¡± Old men ¡°fine¡­.¡±Jona ¡®this will be fun won¡¯t it?¡¯ Rose If she gets us in a danger you would call that fun too? ¡®oh come on! It¡¯s not a problem to trust people a little bit you know?¡¯ Rose ¡°YAY~¡± Nimue Maybe¡­ I should start calling her idiot? Cause she really is the annoying type I got a feeling saving that girl was a pain in the ass¡­. The night girl got up and walked in front of me then kneeled down before me. ¡°I Nimue Blu Alister hereby swear an oath to the God of War to serve you to the day I die, becoming your shield and sword.¡± Nimue A blue flashing light came from around her and then settled on my arm making a symbol of a rose with a vine wrapping around a shield. ¡°You need to say ¡®I accept the Oath of Nimue Blu alister, and shall she break her Oath the punishment shall be decided by the Gods.¡¯ ¡± Old man Sigh¡­ why does this shit happen to me? ¡°I accept the Oath of Nimue Blu alister, and shall she break her Oath the punishment shall be decided by the Gods¡± Jona The light before was bright but the light from me was blinding¡­ a golden light that then made a chain like flames binded Nimue to the ground before slowly disappearing into her and me. ¡­ really this is too much bullshit¡­. ¡°Wow¡­ I never expected my new master to have the legendary bind of the Reaper Flames¡­¡± Nimue. Not that I care too much about their names but I got a sick feeling I could always tell where this girl is and she can do the same, this world has too many secrets¡­ that this said Flame kingdom left behind, why did the monsters come out to begin with? Was it the Gods that didn¡¯t think they were a proper balance for this world and smited them down? But this is the first time I even took the time to bother with what the girl looked like she has taken her cloak off or it has fell off to be more accurate since it is still in the seat, she has a visor that¡¯s azure blue on the back of her head as if she moved it that way and like it can fold out to protect her eyes in combat, long beautiful pale blonde hair that goes down to her knees a nice blue colored eyes that seemed like a natural lazy eyed type of girl, but they sparkled with passion as her face still had a bit of childness in it making her look rather cute, with her ears pointed out being a clear definition that she¡¯s a pure elf. Her armor seems to be mostly silk or cloth of some kind most likely magically enhanced, because she only has one sheet of metal protecting the right of the chest with strings similar to mine holding it in place with both shoulders with the same type of metal folded like the visor on the back of her head seemingly like it could activate and protect her whole arm with a thin sword with a beautiful rose design sticking behind her back with a shiny metal sheath. While under this armor was on the left side another layer of blue the same color of the visor that seemed to stretch down her left arm being her sword arm with shiny blue gauntlets on both arms while one has a shield like buckle on it that just covers the length of her elbow to her fist, but it seems to be able to spread out like a magical shield cause it¡¯s thin with the same type of metal made from it, underneath the blue shirt like silk is a white dress that seemingly was the most normal of all the clothes she had on with a belt to hold it in place with metal protecting her thighs. Hell even her boots and stockings are blue and made of the same material matching her eyes the whole way, but somehow I feel that she¡¯s not that bright, but that¡¯s just my personal idea of how I am use to seeing people. ¡°So my lord~ where do we go next~¡± Nimue I swear I saw the old man sigh in relief and not for me just agreeing I can see tears in his eyes like he was too glad this girl is leaving this village. ¡°No clue¡­ I was just going to keep going straight¡± Jona ¡°Oh? That way is the beast kingdom and a boarder fort of the humans to keep watch in case of war times.¡± Nimue Maybe¡­ she isn¡¯t as stupid as I thought she would be. ¡°We can save the weak people on the way~¡± Nimue Never mind¡­ She¡¯s a total idiot¡­. Why would I care to save some stranger? I mean I lived in a peaceful world where not much was going on in the open¡­ but I would never go out of my way to save anyone. So I decided to do what I would want to do anyhow, I had the Idiot guide me to the shopping area to get different herbs and other foods, since my item box has proven to be useful hopefully it will keep meat fresh for a few days, with some wood blocks that was also free so I can try to make figurines like I did before maybe they can make money here¡­. As well as any type of cloth we can get here, even if it¡¯s poor at least this village had a poor version of cotton though it is mostly crude leathers here too, I couldn¡¯t help but want a few of them. Luckily for me this idiot was rich enough to buy whatever I wanted, though she questioned on why we needed all the herbs, and cloths, but I just told her it would be easier to make food and blankets on by ourselves then buy them for a higher price. I guess I will head to the fort now¡­ and decided that I had everything I wanted and started walking not caring if Nimue followed me or not. But she seemed disappointed that I didn¡¯t say much to her and also confused on what to say now so she stayed silent and followed me off into the sunrise¡­ God¡­ why did they have to push this kind of crap onto me¡­. Chapter 8 Misfortune? ¡°Hey¡± ¡°Are you listening to me?¡± ¡°HEY! My lord!¡± ¡°I SAID WE SHOULD SAVE THOUGHS POOR PEOPLE!¡± Sigh¡­.. why didn¡¯t I see this coming? When this idiot decided to serve me I thought it would be bad, but she keep yelling and complaining in my ear for a day now¡­ about how we should use our power to help the ones in need or powerless¡­. Hell even Rose agreed with her, but why should I go out of my way just to help someone¡­ ¡°You know the women there would be raped or turned into slaves!¡± ¡°You must have better morals then that!¡± I left no choice but to grit my teeth cause I felt like punching her so hard that her head flew off¡­ I swear I pictured it in my head more than once, and what makes matters worse is her screaming like a total idiot like she is got the bandits attention so now we are practically surrounded¡­.. God¡­ I knew I hated pink for a reason¡­. The main boss bandit walked out in pink pants¡­. And no shirt¡­ with a very scared muscular body¡­ but the pink just totally ruins his threatening glare¡­. Like how can one take this serious? ¡°hahaha, boys~ looks like we got ourselves want a be heros~¡± Boss The bandit lackey¡¯s just laughed and commented lines like idiots to make the bosses ego blow up more. I could only glare at the idiot for being too loud if she was quit I could of probably saved them without wasting to much effort¡­. Well not like I have to waste any effort on these guys¡­ since I didn¡¯t care to save them, but didn¡¯t want Rose to get angry again. Just thinking about it makes me shiver. ¡°you caused this mess¡­. You handle it¡­¡±Jona I could only look at the knight cause I didn¡¯t really feel they would give me the time to pull out my blade even if I could fight bare handed¡­. I just didn¡¯t feel like wasting my energy cause I am already tired from all the idiots ranting about this and that about what is right and wrong¡­. But what surprised me is she nodded and said that I am finally acting like a proper master and letting her do the dirty work¡­. Really? The last few days before this all I did was make dinner¡­ and breakfast with the skills I had¡­ I tried to let her cook once¡­ but I swear I got poison resistance from it. All while keeping my face blank with no emotion. My insides are practically screaming at this idiot for wanting to use more time then I would of wanted to deal with these people¡­ hell the women here are practically dead already, most of them are not moving and just looking off into space with blank looks. This isn¡¯t saving, and we can¡¯t really take them with us because we can¡¯t carry that many people. But the thing she did was fight pretty well like a mad beast while the bandits really were trying to run away as she killed them without any mercy showing off overly used skills and they keep calling her monster. Though when the battle was over she seemed to be happy as if killing these people was a great delight, which couldn¡¯t help but make me shiver. ¡°Idiot¡­¡± Jona ¡°Why are you so rude¡± Nimue She seemed to fake a pout and then look over at me like expecting an answer. ¡°What are you going to do with them.¡± Jona Pointing at the near dead women on the ground, now that the bandits are gone to me it would be quicker to kill them to end their misery. ¡°Help them?¡± Nimue ¡°¡­.¡± Jona I just walked up to them as their eyes seem to not follow me at all but once I was in front of them I could feel that most of them no longer care about living, I seen people like this before in my old life, though not as bad as the ones here. ¡°Do you want your suffering to end?¡± Jona That made them twitch a bit as if they reacted to me. ¡°I can help you this life you have suffered giving you ever lasting peace.¡± Jona That got some of their attentions because some of them looked at me with their dead eyes.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°But then who would take revenge on the ones that sold or sent you to this fate¡± Jona Not giving anyone any chance to do anything. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you all have something in your heart that you wish to grab onto? Wouldn¡¯t the memory of this sin that was done to you, be forgiven this easily? Would you quite before you even have the chance to stop this from happening from children!¡± Jona That got more of their attentions. ¡°Why would you give up so easily! Why do you forget the ones that have died! Your friends, your families! What if some of them are still alive somewhere suffering right now! If you give in now would any of you be ever to forgive yourselves for not trying to at least save them!¡± Jona I have no idea what has gone over me but seeing people that just give up on life, even if they¡¯ve seen hell to me that¡¯s nothing more than being a coward and something in my heart after the bandits were killed, I know I feel like I shouldn¡¯t helping them but I guess I am lying to myself.. helping these girls might be another way to repent for my own sins of my old life. But this time all the girls that have gave up started moving sluggishly trying to set up looking at me with a new fire in their eyes, so I did the only thing I know what to do at this point and activated my healing skills this time instead of saying it in my mind I wanted to try a skill that just came to mind since I have holy magic and healing arts ¡°The Holy Mother of the light, the Grand angels that guard us above, lend me your power to reverse the damage done to my fellow women¡¯s bodies and give them peace of mind. {Angelic Song}¡± Along with a song that I remembered of my past that fit the singing of angels, even as embarrassing as this is it seems to heal all the women in front of me giving them a shiny glow that seemed to be like tiny feathers landing on their skin giving them the life that was once lost, and the last thing I seen was Nimue running to me sideways, it wasn¡¯t to later that I figured out that I had fell over cause of using all my mana to use this skill. {POV Nimue} I had since long dreamed of serving the famous Flame Clan, but everyone has always laughed at me whenever I told them my dream even though I have the highest skill in my class, to the point I was even able to leave to find my master fifty years earlier than normal, but I have a feeling they just wanted me gone. I have been always been called stupid, idiot, retard, etc. And it really hurts my feelings¡­ though I keep a nice smile on the outside¡­ and make it off like a joke cause I really don¡¯t want to be hated by people, my goal is to help people and destroy all the scum and trash in the world. I always wanted to be a hero, that would step in and save the weak and kill the wicked¡­ but somewhere deep down I think I just wanted to kill the wicked more than save people, but since I¡¯m not really good at cooking, cleaning, or anything people normally do¡­ I seem to been causing anyone I come across as nothing but trouble. The day Old man Gimru came in and told me he found the long Lost Princess of Flame, I didn¡¯t even wait to hear what else he said before rushing off to see her, but when I first saw her I couldn¡¯t help but think how cute she is¡­ she ended up walking down from the rooms above half asleep¡­ and tottering over to the counter looking over at the kitchen behind it with drool on her lips, but the cutest part was her top. I don¡¯t know if she is aware but it¡¯s on wrong, and is clearly down her shoulders, though it isn¡¯t showing anything since her chest plate covers the important parts, it still shows off the color on her throat with a gem only very high nobility would even have, aside from the Royalty of Flame no one would be so brave to openly show their wealth without a guard. This only makes me want to protect her even more, as her hair shines with the light of the sun that is coming through the windows making her look angelic, and the glowing magical enchantments on her armor just proves her royal bloodline, cause this style of enchantment has been long lost since the fall of the kingdom. People have long called me an idiot and such, but it¡¯s mostly of how much I zone out or the way I try to speak to people, but not from my inner thoughts itself. As watching her eat I could swear my heart skipped a beat at her elegant manners that no commoner would ever have, even most nobles won¡¯t be this well mannered. But while I was in my own thoughts of how pretty and elegant she is she seemed to have finished and looked at me with a glare, or an attempt of one in her emotionless face¡­ which makes it kind of cute when her eyes twitch ever so slightly. By the time it was all over I just went on auto pilot when asked questions not even thinking about my replies my only surprise is the famous Chains of Flames from the Flame Clan no one but them has this type of binding, cause each clan and family is given a different color or type of bind, even commoners have a different one then others, it¡¯s a mark of their bloodline, the more you can see the chain the stronger the bloodline is. I just hope she never awakens the beseker state that was hated by all of the Flame clan, it¡¯s like awakening a demon of war. No way to stop them other than to kill them or break their link to their spiritual power. But cause of this power, their Spiritual power recharges extremely slow, like possibly fifty percent slower than the average person. But the worst part about this state is if they are left in it too long their souls are broken up and forever destroyed. And the secret not many know as to why they were able to fight the demonic beast for so long, this power was the only way to save the world. I had always wanted to help the clan bring back the scattered pieces of the clan¡¯s souls and so the heir of it can gain the final power of the kingdom and truly seal the demons away, the gate that has been sealed has been slowly been cracking over the years with no way to truly seal it other than the bloodline that sealed it the first time. But I am lost for words as to what my master is doing right now She has wings on her back that shine like an angels wings, and it is stretching out to the women after her words awoken their inner desire I can say the way she spoke to them was rude¡­ but needed to awaken them, and that was the first time I ever seen her talk like this¡­ like a true Queen of Flame, to bring the people around her to power, to awaken their souls and give them hope. But when she started falling over turning extremely pale I had no idea what to do for her since I am only good at when it comes to the history of Flame and fighting, nursing someone back to health is not in my power¡­. While lost to what to do while holding her shaking her to try to get her to wake up one of the women that she saved came up to me pulling my shoulders back almost made me slash her head in two for getting in between me and my master. ¡°She just has used all her mana, she will probably sleep for a little while¡± women She is shaking at my glare, but when I think of it the spell she did cast was probably heavy on mana cost and I relaxed a bit more while looking back down at her. Chapter 9: Truth behind the nightmares I have no idea what happened, but I am in the bloody covered world again, this time there isn¡¯t any zombies but a copy of myself standing in front of me with horns on her head and skeletal wings on her back. ¡°You have finally done it.¡± Demon Jona ¡°Done what?¡± Jona ¡°You have used the Skill of the Angels, it¡¯s one of the few Royal healing arts of the world.¡± Demon Jona ¡°And what does that mean I have finally done it?¡± Jona ¡°It is one of the seals for us¡± Demonic Jona ¡°For us?¡± Jona ¡°You see this world here? Do you even know that the truth behind the Flame Clan?¡± Demon Jona ¡°No I actually know hardly anything about them.¡± Jona Nor care¡­ but this is at least some info. ¡°The Flame Clan wasn¡¯t the hero clan people make them out to be, in fact they we¡¯re one of the demon clans.¡± Demon Jona ¡°Their clan was mostly of a variant vampire, that was keen on using holy arts, and was really part of a famous angelic clan that came down from the stars riding on rocks of fire, that¡¯s why they got the name ¡°Flame Clan¡± these people were not that nice or caring of this world, they still felt responsible therefore they sealed the part of their clans that changed from the mana in the air here, turning them into more beast then the holy being we are. I know that you are probably thinking vampires can¡¯t be holy beings? Well that is just in stories, and the vampires that lose the holy power are the ones that practice evil, and have only evil in their hearts. You on the other hand have used the holy art, meaning you have the angelic love for the lives here, even if you yourself don¡¯t realize it. This place is also made to turn and train the members of the clans into their awakened form, since you see me before you I am nothing more than a sliver of the old clan¡¯s power, to guide the next heir to the right path. If you seek evil and to do bad things to this world you will slowly lose yourself as the demon inside, the real demon will awaken and take over. But I see you have chosen to be neutral for the most part, but you do know I wish you to never use the darkness of the flame clan, and only use the holy power The form you see before you is your awakening state, but since the wings are yet to be finished , cause you have yet to have enough power to use the wings¡­ if you were to use this form you wouldn¡¯t form your physical wings but wings of energy. You have passed the test as to why the test was to just see if you have the heart to help the ones that have fallen into darkness. We do not do not ask you to save everyone, people can run, fight, and bring their own lives into an end. We simply ask you to help the ones like the girls that had no choice in this, people are forced before they can run, before they can fight and lose the light. This world needs this light cause without it the seal on the gate will slowly break.¡± Demon JonaThis story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. I only can see her as a demon in front of me just said I had been from a race of angelic vampires? Really? Is that even seriously possible? Well not like I care but it does explain the blood¡­ but never explained the zombies after me¡­ ¡°The zombies were just dragging you into the darkness, to let the evil take over.¡± Demon Jona But if that¡¯s my awakening form wouldn¡¯t that scare people away? I swear having horns on my head isn¡¯t actually a good sign. ¡°You are neutral so you would have horns but angelic wings, but since this place¡­. Is still evil at the moment I am in the form of the demon that will be the awakening of the dark side.¡± Demon Jona So it can read my mind¡­ must be similar to my dream state where I train with Rose lately. ¡°Yes it is about the same only you can enter here when you have no mana left. If you drink the blood at our feet you will get your true awakening through the blood of flames¡± Demon Jona She started walking towards me but I took a few steps back but the next instant she was right in front of me. ¡°You most know that to baptize and awaken you must go through the whole process of being held under for the whole process¡± Demon Jona Then she grabbed me with more power then I could get out of and dunked me under the blood holding me under as I try to hold my breath for the longest time before forgetting this¡­ is a dream state even if I lose all my air I would just wake up¡­.. right? Then the time I relaxed and opened my eyes to look back at the demon, realizing my eyes had been closed by reflex as I realize the blood has been moving towards me at fast speed as it seems to be going through my skin like a drain in the bottom of a bath tub, and the next thing I felt was a pain I had thought I¡¯d never feel again. The pain of my bones and blood vessels and veins being filled with magna I couldn¡¯t even scream as my whole body is being broken apart under the bloody lake as I feel every bit of pain from my skin melting off, too my muscles being torn and melting to my nerves and bones being turned to ash as then blackness over took me while I felt my body slowly rebuild itself the pain itself was not the worst part, the worst part is I couldn¡¯t see or hear anything only thing I could do was be in the dark void again that I had thought I had left behind, with everyone laughing at me picking on me and pushing me around. As the pain started getting even more unbearable I seen the light walk towards me as it was Rose, and Nimue, and my friends and family walking up to defend me from the dark while holding out their hands to help me and to let me rely on them. Then I opened my eyes as the pain subsided I wasn¡¯t in the dark space anymore, but inside Nimue¡¯s arms as she was holding me in a princess carry as the girls around us following with the bandits weapons as if they could do anything¡­. But I also notice I feel lighter than before like my body is healthier. Impossible right?
You have awakened to your true bloodline.
Flame Bloodline: You can transform into an Angelic Vampire Since you have used a great service to the Goddess of Light she has offered to take away the demonic side of this transformation as long as you keep using her name to spread the light.
really? But what am I now? Just a normal being? Hell what is even my race mean?
Celrisu:
A race that can change their form, only at the extent to adding wings of light, changing their ear shape, can even turn into an elf with this. But to turn into a beastmen you will need to first gain the blessing of their priestess. To change into these forms you just need to use your mana and think of which form to be. So far available forms: Human: Currently in use. {Classes Kunoichi, Medic}{Jobs: chief} Elf Angel Vampire Be warned you will lose the ability to use any class or changeable jobs you have set to a race.
So¡­. If I was to change race I would have to first change my classes or jobs set to each race first. But if I had looked at this first I would have probably understood more¡­ but as to the angelic vampire firm I am sure it¡¯s just some sort of limiter break, but since it was said I don¡¯t have enough power to form the wings I am sure¡­ it would be best to not use it too I am stronger. Chapter 10 Treat? While I am thinking of all this I still can¡¯t help but notice why I am not even the slightest upset about being carried like this since it is really¡­. Not something a guy would like to be carried like. But then again¡­ this at least puts them to use¡­ but then again I should probably still walk on my own¡­ Though when I tried to move I felt like my body was under too much weight and could barely even move my fingers, but she seemed to notice. ¡°You really are something, my lord¡± Nimue ¡°Yes¡­ totally like an angel, my lord¡± Random girl 1 The rest of them seem to nod with them, but why would they call me a lord? I mean I can understand the idiot Nimue¡­. But why would the rest of them? One of the girls seemed to notice my confusion. ¡°We believe that you will be our reason for living, with Your Grace¡¯s blessing we have been able to move again.¡± Random girl 1 Really I shouldn¡¯t even consider this¡­ since they are probably just following us since they can¡¯t defend themselves. But some reason I feel like we are going the wrong direction from the way we was going since the last time we were going towards the direction of the sun¡­ and now the sun is beside us on the right¡­. Meaning she decided to take a fork in the road, but maybe she isn¡¯t directionally impaired¡­. ¡°My name is Mirai, the girl to your left is Sarah, the one to the left of her is Mary, and the two on your right from closest to farthest is the twins Clara and Luna.¡± Mirai Well it seems that I have some sort of party? It¡¯s hard to do anything now anyways. ¡°Why¡­ do you call me my lord or my grace?¡± Jona I hate talking but I have a feeling this is going to be more trouble than it¡¯s worth. ¡°Cause an Angel like you deserves to be protected, and the power you gave us has made us stronger than before, in fact now I am sure we have the raw power to defend against bandits even without any knowledge¡­ of fighting¡­ since we have been attacked twice so far¡­¡± Mirai She seems to be the only one talking to me but when I move my eyes to look at the others they move their head the other direction rather fast as if looking at me is scary. The problem is once it got dark they still wanted to keep going like idiots¡­ I had to actually demand and order them to find a place to make camp since it would be too dangerous to fight. ¡­. I wonder if blood would heal me. ¡°Nimue¡­ you know a lot of the Flame clan? Or fire which ever you call it right?¡± Jona ¡°Yes?¡± Nimue ¡°then you must know¡­ blood heals us¡­¡±Jona I talked to her in a small voice so the other girls can¡¯t hear me, and she nodded and tilted her head and said, ¡°Then you want me to offer mine?¡± I just nodded and she came close and took a small dagger out of her side pouch and cut a small part of the side of her neck, but what came over me I couldn¡¯t understand cause I instantly went for her neck even as weak as I was it seemingly moved on its own without my control. As I was drinking her blood I could see her blushing from this while holding her mouth shut. Hmm? Does she enjoy this¡­.? Well it¡¯s not like I can control the urge to drink¡­ but my body feels like it¡¯s being brought back to life to the point I could control myself again and then I licked her neck cause of the taste is just too good to waste but when I heard a cough from beside us Nimue moved fast to protect me, but it was just the girls blushing while watching. Which sent Nimue into a panic attack as she started turning red and stuttering at the girls who is kind of cute, and I could even hear Rose laughing inside my head? ¡°Don¡¯t you girls need to get some sleep?¡± Jona As if it was an order to scatter and give us our privacy they all started leaving and giggling while looking at me with knowing eyes for some odd reason. As the night went off I had a strange feeling Nimue had been watching me the whole time. ¡­.. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The next day when I woke up I felt something squishy and soft unlike the ground, but when I looked up I could only see that I was laying on Nimue curled around her while my head was resting on her chest while most of my body was on top of her. I was too shocked as to why this happened? I mean I was sure I went to sleep by myself, but when I woke up I was onto of her, by looking at her she is still asleep or at least acting like she is. Anyhow I can only move away slowly as if not to wake her but when I turned my head Sarah was looking at us with a smile that says she is going to so gossip about this¡­.. I wonder if in this world same sex isn¡¯t that bad, though I haven¡¯t been treated anything less than an equal by people so far, but it could also be that of my title? And job as princess¡­ sigh¡­. Really not something I would want to do¡­ hell I am even getting too use to this body, as of lately, I haven¡¯t really complained too much about the undergarments, though I have been wearing the same clothes for awhile now¡­. Since I was lucky there was more than one of it. But even so I have my ninja gear inside my gem which would probably give me more bonuses to this class if I had used them but even to me that type of gear¡­¡­ the at most I would use is the jacket in one of them that covers the one piece that is more like an armored tunic. But all well any guy would love to be able to lay their head on such a chest right? Well since I am a female now it can¡¯t be considered too perverted at the moment¡­ hopefully they don¡¯t see it as some romantic thing, since¡­ I really haven¡¯t even understood anything like Love once in my life. Yes I felt responsible and honor as the oldest child of my family, but really? The only ones I really cared for truthfully were the useful ones¡­. I still keep my word to keep them safe from my father which was one that I cared for more than anything. Though it seems like everyone else is awake aside from Nimue but since she¡­ carried me this far.. Well besides that I guess I will prepare something for them to eat huh? Well first of all I have no idea how long the meat I bought will last. But last night¡­ they didn¡¯t even know how to start a fire properly¡­ they just put sticks in a pile and used a fire spell¡­. Really unnecessary. Since the pile really isn¡¯t protected that much¡­. And if the fire or the sticks would shift wouldn¡¯t it cause problems I rather avoid¡­. So first I need to get is skewers for the meat, and since I really don¡¯t have long enough wood blocks since they were meant for smaller objects. I have to go find some sticks long enough and straight enough to work, though the sun is just barely rising¡­. While on this train of thought I keep from drawing attention from them and walked off into the woods besides us looking for enough sticks to feed us all. ¡®You know.. if you¡¯re a vampire wouldn¡¯t it make the Paladin class useless?¡¯ Rose No clue, though since I can use holy magic, I am sure I could use the class¡­. But to me Paladin was one of the classes I really didn¡¯t bother using too much, when I played the game that had it I just used it for a healing tank since¡­. Most of my friends were just idiots¡­ they only wanted to be the weak defensive classes like archer, rouge, mage, and fighters. Though fighters had higher defense, really none of them would ever play a healing class, aside from mage it¡¯s heals were mostly like life stealing, my witch class did better on that to begin with¡­The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡®But Paladin is one of your maxed level classes, wouldn¡¯t it be the best we have?¡¯ Rose Well that depends¡­ I doubt we¡¯d be suddenly surrounded by undead and evil monsters, and most Paladins in stories are like Knights only with a stronger feeling of justice, and ridiculously amount of devotion to their gods. ¡®Wouldn¡¯t that make it over powered? I mean you have the blessing of two Gods, and the favor of another, I mean the Goddess of Time, God of War, and the Goddess of Light all liking and watching you.¡¯ Rose That¡­. Is good and bad you know? Gods have a habit of playing with people¡¯s lives, that¡¯s why they probably let me keep Paladin maxed. And the fact of Blade Dancer really has maxed out at 50? Isn¡¯t it because the game maxed out at 50? I mean I am sure it went farther¡­ ¡®No, Blade Dancer didn¡¯t max at 50 didn¡¯t you remember anything? I am a clone when I use it, there for I can only use half of its levels, though I can pretty much use most of the skills without any issue.¡¯ Rose So you¡¯re saying if I was to use it I would be able to access the arts of my class? Well not like I would¡­ it¡¯s not like I have had any chance to fight much since I got here since you wanted to fight the first battle¡­ and I didn¡¯t even feel like fighting the bandits¡­ ¡®You will have a chance to fight, though you keep a rather low class set¡­ is weird to me¡­ though I guess it is the best you got for stealth.¡¯ Rose If I had wanted stealth, I would have switched to Hunter, since it is more or less built for that¡­. But something tells me I should switch to Scavenger on my Job to get the best outcome here¡­ but since it¡¯s just for sticks¡­ After a few hours I was able to find enough to fit my liking¡­ having gotten mad a few times and snapped too many cause it had too many problems in the curve or knots on them when I was using the wood knife I bought for my figurines to get them nice and sharp points with smooth all the way across it the best I can. Luckily I was also able to find a river, though I had to test the water to see if it was drinkable, it was really pure compared to my old world were all such things would end up being a problem, but waiting another thirty minutes to let the skewers get the water in them so they won¡¯t burn when I decide to start cooking was strangely boring. So while waiting I was looking through my herbs I had bought back in town before starting this trip¡­ to see if I had the proper ones to fix a tasty treat out of this. Though I was really surprised they had the proper stuff to make a sauce that would go good in it though they didn¡¯t call it like we would have in our old world the taste of it was the same as a nice sauce anyone would expect on a shish kabob, only problem is that it is greenish by color. The spices I couldn¡¯t find eatable mushrooms, but the garlic here was more or less¡­ another shape all together it was even tasted different. More like an onion with a taste of garlic but had a mix of the taste of onions in one. They had plenty of different peppers but the black pepper I would have preferred wasn¡¯t really here, but I could say that they did have a powder of a non-spicy pepper and a spicy one inside a jar which was rather cheap, and the salt they had was just imported from the sea, but they did have lemons¡­ and believe it or not they had soy sauce. So while waiting I spent my time grinding and mixing all the spices and herbs into that I thought would also make the meat taste better such as corfix which in my old world would be more or less paprika. Then added them into the sauce while having an empty jar to juice out the lemons while the seasoning then is put into, while shaking it up as much as I could then slowly added meat out that I had ordered to be sliced before hand and something that resembles cherry tomatoes and zucchini to let them marinade inside it. I would use the sauce I had got to coat it after so it doesn¡¯t take the taste away from the actual spices, and not a lot of people in my old life actually cared for the spices taste, they mostly cared for what tasted good or not. Well with the prep done on the way back which took me another few hours Nimue was still asleep¡­ really did this girl sleep too much? And for some reason Rose has gone silent just to watch me for some odd reason she seems really interested in what I am doing and going to make¡­ .she¡¯ll probably ask me to make a clone, but I have always checked my stats secretly before bed, which let me know if I use the clone I can use it at least twice a day if I make it in bare movement since I have now gained over 423 spiritual power, probably with the slow recharge it has a faster increase? Sitting the fire was actually more annoying then I would have thought since I had picked up some good size sticks for it with rocks to make it look like what I had seen in books. My problem was actually starting the fire¡­ since I am sure I didn¡¯t have any type of magic other then holy, and I really don¡¯t want to chance the chance of being a witch in front of others. Since that class has been hated and hunted in my own world for a long time to leave a dirty scar on history, but once I finally got it to start I had to even have help with the girl that had minor fire magic anyhow since it just keep going out¡­ even though I was sure I picked sticks that would burn easily¡­ Taking the sticks out of my item box, I started slowly taking the meat and veggies out and put them one after another two sticks per kabob to hold it in order and stable while after I was done and made sure the spices was coated and sticking to it¡­. These alchemist jars really do speed the process¡­ I had just questioned the thought of it since it came from my job, to me I had thought they were just jars, but now that I look at it the meat and veggies have the same process of have been in it for over eight hours. So even without that job in use I can use the materials and tools¡­ Probably of lesser quality. Then I added the sauce over it lightly on all sides before placing them into the fire with the hold I had in the center sticking them into the ground just before the rocks and waited to it got cooked evenly would take at least a little while, but the smell of it is really attracting their attention hell it even woke up Nimue she is eyeing it like a hungry beast about to pounce¡­. I understand the feeling pretty well. ¡®You made an extra one who is that for?¡¯ Rose It is for you, I figured since my {Perfect clone} is an exact replica of a human body even down to the stomach, and even its functions I figured you would want it. ¡®REALLLY~? THANK YOU! YOU¡¯RE THE BEST EVER~!¡¯ Rose Just shut up! Stop screaming in my head, jeez why are you and everyone I go around so weird and hyper, it¡¯s just food nothing to get energetic about. Though¡­ I secretly felt happy about it, but I didn¡¯t let it get into my thoughts too much, but I feel she knew anyhow¡­ god¡­ it is a pain when these emotions are not what I am use too. After it was finished I called everyone over then told them I had someone for them to meet, then did the cloning art allowing Rose to come out and talk to people¡­ but really I think that was a mistake¡­ and why is the clone in a maid outfit? ¡°Greetings all, I am the humble servant of Princess of Flames¡± Rose She bowed while holding her him of the maid outfit like she¡¯s done it for years¡­. But really I didn¡¯t expect it to be a maid outfit? Maybe she had some influence in that¡­ yeah it had to be her and not me. Everyone was just eyeing her with a dropped jaw, but Nimue seemed to just get competitive for some odd reason.. ¡°I am the Royal Knight of the Princess of Flames, Nimue Blu Alister¡± Nimue She put her hand over her chest and slightly bowed her head while standing attention. ¡°I guess¡­ I should introduce myself as all of you have done so and we have been ill mannered in this case I am Jona¡­¡± Jona Having said that I didn¡¯t bother to care about the rest of them any farther since it is just polite to really introduce myself to them, but for some reason I think I decided to ignore them cause of Rose and Nimue, both seemed to be staring at each other with great effort which is somehow really scary¡­ Though once the food was done and handed to everyone, the first bite they took made all of them even Rose stiffen up like a board. What did I make it wrong? To me it taste perfect¡­ but I have been told in the past I add a bit too much into the seasonings and could drown out the actual meat or veggies taste¡­ but I can¡¯t say anything to that since to me. Well before I got this body tasting food without enough seasoning didn¡¯t have any taste at all. ¡°¡­. Not good?¡± Jona I really don¡¯t know if it my eyes on them since all of them seem to be setting on a higher ground then me or the fact my emotionless face is scary, but all of them couldn¡¯t help but turned their heads down as if to hide their faces from me even Rose herself, though she doesn¡¯t seem to hide her emotions, and lets them flow, I had a feeling she would of told me if it was bad or not¡­ not this reaction While I was starting to feel bad for giving them something that didn¡¯t taste good, before I could even say anything else they started eating it with great vigor¡­ and was gone before I even realized¡­ did they really force themselves to eat my cooking? It¡¯s¡­ not good for your health¡­ to eat bad food¡­ And it is worse cause for some reason none of them could look at me, or even say anything just keep looking down or away in the other direction while I finished my meal. ¡°the skewers¡­ can I have them back¡± Jona It took too long to find the sticks that would make these¡­ I would hate to do it every time I rather re wash them and use them again, but some reason their reactions was faster than expected cause they all handed them back to me. In their haste I could see one of them having drool still on her mouth probably was too bad that she wanted to puke? While washing them in the sanitizer before rinsing them off with some of the water I had in a water skin leather bag before putting them back into my item box. Still feeling down I put out the fire and without even calling out to them started walking down the road, but I guess they moved fast enough cause they caught up to me after thirty minutes breathing very heavily. ¡°you.. really shouldn¡¯t walk so fast¡­ it is hard to catch up¡­¡± All of the girls said even Rose, ¡°Hmph¡± Jona I couldn¡¯t take my time to deal with rude people that wouldn¡¯t even answer my question to my cooking¡­ Not that I was wanting a compliment or anything¡­ really I didn¡¯t expect one, I just would have thought they would say something, but even I myself has no clue as to why it is upsetting me. Chapter 11: Village of Hifo It ticks me off.. even I put that effort into cooking the food, though¡­ since I like the extra flavoring is probably not what people is use to here. In my old world when I cooked for my family I had no choice but to lower the seasonings I used or they wouldn¡¯t eat it, but since my taste buds in this world are better than my old self I had thought it would be okay since the fact to me it had a lemon taste to the meat though it wasn¡¯t over powered cause most of it was to contrast the spice I had put into it with the other sauce, making it balanced, in my eyes I had expected them to at least tell me what they thought. Yes¡­ I might of forgot a few steps such as the oil when making it or the soy sauce, but the green sauce I used should have been enough for most since to me it was eatable. ¡°¡­..Really I am telling you that walking off on your own isn¡¯t safe!¡± Rose Yeah she is seemingly mad at me for doing so and I really only heard the last bit of her rant. ¡°Shut up¡­¡± Jona It surprised me here as well, I have no idea as to why I am overly annoyed right now, but if they wish to lecture me then they should have told me that the food I made was crap or good. ¡°You are not going to learn are you?¡± Rose ¡°Hmph!¡± Jona ¡°I have no idea why you are mad just after making food.¡± Nimue ¡°¡­¡± Jona Says the one that can¡¯t even boil water without messing something up? ¡°since my cooking was bad¡± Jona I sent a glare to all of them this time my mask broken with a really hateful glare making them all take a step back. ¡°I refuse to cook for you in the future¡± Jona ¡°it¡­ wasn¡¯t bad right girls?¡± Rose All of them nodded but I couldn¡¯t and wouldn¡¯t buy that since they really can¡¯t say anything to it, though I always found it odd since Rose can read most of my thoughts I can barely even read hers. Making me mostly want to just fade away from these people, couldn¡¯t help but smile at them once before returning my mask and control. Before any of them could respond to anything something came into sight that was quite disturbing for a village most of the villagers were half eaten others had been just cut in two with beasts loaming around every so often leaving only two or three of them here, but they look more like half human or elf mixed in with the zombie like beasts I seen in that island, which was the most disgusting thing, cause I had only fought one of them at the beginning¡­. The arms in its back¡­ makes them a real pain to fight, but these were worse because they have blade like arms sticking out, and about four of them¡­ Some looked like a mixture of lions, some even have a lizard like look, though their bodies aren¡¯t as degraded as the island you can see how pale they are and the bones sticking out. ¡°Wait here¡­ this isn¡¯t for you girls to handle¡­.¡± Jona Before they could even protest the next thing I did was look towards Rose and she nodded to me in agreement and keeps the girls here because she knows that this battle is not something I can leave to them, since magic is in this world¡­ there is a high chance that they could even beat me. But since they seem to be undead I wonder if I should change class? Well aside from paladin to me that class even seems unable to be used¡­ because it seems it is a class locked towards more towards my angelic side¡­ or maybe since I have no real belief or devotion to the gods? But I switched my Medic class with my Braver class feeling the power going into my strength stat making it more easier to move, but that doesn¡¯t seem to be all I seem to also be lighter with my hand movements cause as soon as I tried to walk off it was faster than expected and ended up tripping and tumbling down in a roll and stopped in front of one of the monsters. While I was cursing my own body I swiftly rolled to my left side to dodge its thrust of one of its blades from its back before getting up by rolling forward to end up behind it and tried to pull out my katana from my item box. ¡®Can¡¯t take out items in combat¡¯ Robotic Voice FUCK! Why can¡¯t I take out my weapons now? I thought it was just my classes or jobs? I have a feeling the gods are fucking with me leaving me no choice but to use hand to hand combat, luckily my feet to my knees and arms to my elbows are protected by metal or this fight might become a pain in the ass. Using one of my arms to block one of the blades from the monster that keep attacking me then using a quick punch to its chest while moving off to the side to hit it again in the side trying to break it¡¯s movements by tripping it by the left side.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. This is a fucking pain¡­ the blades are a problem and the other two are coming closer so I will have no choice but to see if the stance of braver can be used without a weapon, unlike the game I got the class from the skills are totally different and more into speed combo style fighting even without a katana but could be used for any weapon. Breathing lightly doing a flip back to gain some breathing room. ¡°The God of War has smiled on this battlefield called war, showing us that there is nothing more important than strength and heart in battle. Grant me the power of war and the ability to show my enemies the wrath of your chosen {Divine Art: Blood Storm} My body started glowing with bright red as the monster appeared before me slashing at me with all four blades leaving me no choice but to take some hits so I blocked the two that was going for a vital spot and let the other two hit my sides cutting into the outfit this time with force to make blood splatter all over the ground. ¡­ I thought the outfits couldn¡¯t be cut? And it hurts pretty badly but before giving it another chance I lead with a quick punch to its chest blowing it back into the air then side stepping the second one that got close and made a move against me while punching it in the head sending it tumbling backwards. The first one seemed to have gotten back and it and the third one made their moves at the same time while I dodged the first one the third one got me on my back sending me tumbling forward while the second one rushed my front seeing my footing was unbalanced leaving me with no choice but to plant my left foot then spinning around even with slight poor footing to kick that one in the head with more strength then before leaving a red streak through the air as it beheaded it when it landed making it drop as the head splattered off with the momentum of my kick. Fixing my balance with a finish spin after the kick facing the other two with wounds on my body. Kicking my feet into the ground and rushed towards the third one since it is the least damaged leaving a furry of blows all over it wherever I can land leaving a storm of red with every blow I sent out moving my feet to keep going around it hitting any vital spot I could think a humanoid would have. I bet your thinking since their undead I should worry about just headshots right? Well that is the problem I got lucky on the first kill but usually these things are harder to kill or even aim at their heads since they are fast and smart when it comes to combat. Making it seem if was from an outside view a dance of blood going around the third monster not giving any chance for the first one to really strike since it won¡¯t strike it¡¯s partner for some odd reason keeping my movements to keep the third one in between us while taking a few hits from the third ones blades every so often to it dropped to the ground cause I had broken through its bones making it¡¯s legs useless. Giving the third one a well placed kick to the head breaking any chance of it to live as the light dimmed from its eyes and stopped moving all together. Before the first one could even move I unleashed the last move with all my energy cause at the corner of my eyes I could see the stupid idiot and the girls rushing forward with Rose trying to stop them but doesn¡¯t know how to without harming them. Charging the last of my energy into my right fist before punching it at the same time it hit me blowing its upper body away from its lower half. God¡­ I love that I took some martial arts back in the other world¡­ because the weird boxing of that guy Jeff was strangely fitting. But red glow started blinking before it vanished completely, leaving me feeling pretty weak and the pain from all the cuts started to really kick in¡­ man it feels like their blades were made like paper cuts only on a bigger scale. ¡°My lord!¡± Nimue and the girls came rushing to me with Rose sighing heavily ¡°Look for any survivors, and burn the corpses of the dead and crush the bones, so none of them have the chance of coming back to life as undead.¡± Jona ¡°but¡­.¡± Miria ¡°No buts! Do so now! I am okay aside from the cuts breaking the skin it hit no vital spots.¡± Jona As my command they split up and dragged the bodies into the center of the town while a few of them went house from house looking for survivors, luckily there were a few old people and six or seven children around the ages of four to six with their mothers or fathers that were hidden in their own homes. Nimue came up to me and handed me a vial of red liquid telling me it¡¯s my special healing potion, which can only be blood.. .even though I am not in a vampire form the blood seems to make me heal at a interesting speed though the wounds have stopped bleeding there is still proof I got cut there and probably will leave scars, but my energy is returned enough for me to move. One of the older man came up to me with another old woman right next to him leaving me a bad feeling that they are thinking I did this to save them and want help to do something else¡­ ¡°We are here to thank you our savior for protecting the ones that still live, I am Senko the village leader¡± Old lady Senko. ¡°This is the village blacksmith, since it seems your gear has been scratched and damaged during the fight maybe he can repair it for you?¡± Old lady Senko Pointing at the old man beside her as to ask him to introduce himself. ¡°My name is Bart, as she said the blacksmith, though I have told her that your gear is beyond my ability to fix cause of the magic enhancements on it would most likely repair it on its own if you supply it with your mana, and if they were broken it would be too much for a village blacksmith to fix.¡± Old man Bart Magic enhancements? Hmm I guess that is why they glow all the time¡­ but if he says is true all I have to do is supply it with mana¡­ The armor decided to heal itself but took over five hundred mana just to repair cuts? Sounds a bit of a pain¡­ After everything was settled the girls decided to stay in this town to help protect and learn on one of the older guys here that use to be a knight back in the day so they can better be of a service for me in the future¡­ and they let us have whatever such as other dried herbs and meat for a travel since there was no fresh foods here it was fine with me with what they could spare. After we was a few ways away from the village the clone that Rose was using vanished, but what surprised me is that since she really didn¡¯t fight all of the spiritual energy I used to make it came back to me as well. That is really good to know, though she doesn¡¯t to seem like she wants to come back out its fine with me because she needs her rest. ¡°Why do you stay in the human form?¡± Nimue I really don¡¯t really care what form I am? But I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s the proper way to answer her question. ¡°Cause I haven¡¯t thought about it¡± Jona ¡°It would probably be best form here on to use a non-human form since we are getting close to the boarder, and they are strict towards humans.¡± Nimue Now that she says it.. humans might still be hated or something, but how do I really change? Chapter 12: Unwelcomed Suprises I have decided to go to my Elven form, but I first changed braver out of my Human form since it wouldn''t really be needed. The princess job doesn¡¯t change and I didn¡¯t take chief out of the Human side since my cooking skill is decent as is¡­ just my problem is probably do to with not being use to these peoples'' taste buds? Did they not like lemon? Maybe the next time I will cook without using it. Anyhow, the Classes I switched to weren¡¯t that different than a classical mix, I picked my lv 45 Witch and my lv 40 Hunter, to make ¡®Witch Hunter¡¯ I always liked the sound of it even though witches in my world were hunted and burned alive. ¡°You really make a pretty elf¡­ but it just makes me want to take you home¡­ because an elf of your age should still be in the protection of their parents.¡± Nimue. For some reason, I could only hear the first part, the rest was even to low for me to hear with the new elf ears. ¡°¡­Idiot.¡± Jona. Why does she have to say that anyway? It¡¯s like she wants me to be her dress up doll.. or something¡­ but it¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t feel good for being called pretty¡­ but it also feels like it is breaking some of my pride left of being a man at heart. ¡­. ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­.. Waking up the next day with a dream I didn¡¯t quite remember, but still waking up cuddled to Nimue is getting to be a bit of a pain¡­ like why do I move in my sleep to do this? I have never done something like this before in my sleep¡­ ¡°You were crying in your sleep. I don¡¯t know what nightmare it was¡­ but you won¡¯t be left alone okay?¡± Nimue. She literally made me jump and I put some distance between us for a momentary blush on my face before I could react, resulting me turning my face away. ¡°Hmph! Who wants an idiot beside them!¡± Jona. Oh God¡­ did I really say that? Really... I think the Gods are playing with me too much¡­ there is no way I would do that because I wasn¡¯t happy that she said that¡­ I wasn¡¯t okay? Well maybe a little¡­ But she seemed to mumble something under her breath again, before smiling at me once my mask was put back on. We decided it would be easier to just eat some of the dried meat for breakfast since cooking would take too much time or so she said anyhow¡­. But I got a feeling she¡¯s just avoiding my cooking even though I said I wouldn¡¯t cook anymore! ¡­. Maybe? But before we could even really get up something hit the back of my neck knocking me out without any other notice like they snuck up right behind us without me noticing? How? I practically keep my senses on max¡­ this whole time cause events like this in this world is bound to happen¡­ ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. {POV: Nimue} Once I woke up, I saw my master cuddling to me with tears in her eyes mumbling that she didn¡¯t want to be left alone, over and over calling out for her father and grandmother, hating that this child is away from her family¡­ she has seemed strong this whole time, but now I know the truth. She is like any other child trying her best to survive in this world while not even sixteen yet. That¡¯s the age of adulthood for humans, though her Flame clan¡¯s age is closer to mine, they don¡¯t mature into adulthood to after they are at least thirty. This sight just makes me want to protect her even more, but when she woke up she seemed shocked that she was using me as a body pillow, but I don¡¯t mind at all since it makes me feel closer to her. ¡°You were crying in your sleep. I don¡¯t know what nightmare it was¡­ but you won¡¯t be left alone okay?¡± Nimue. I couldn¡¯t help but try sooth her a little bit since she probably thinks she¡¯s been alone all this time. Her maid Rose doesn¡¯t seem to appear that often, in fact I only seen her once a few days ago and she left with a magic teleportation probably due to family issues? But it was so cute when she jumped and turned her head away, but not before I seen the blush in her face. ¡°Hmph! Who wants an idiot beside them!¡± Jona. Which only made me want to cuddle her even more on how cute she is just makes it hard to control myself. ¡°So cute¡­.. I want to hold you and cuddle you and dress you up in cute clothes and dresses¡­.¡± Nimue. I couldn¡¯t help but mumble to myself about how she is, luckily she didn¡¯t seem to hear me but since her cooking¡­ isn¡¯t that bad just¡­ why did she even use lemons in it? It made the thing super biter and sour¡­ I swear I never eat meat that bad before. I mean it was eatable¡­ but the lemon flavor was really too over powered. Did she think she could just soak it in pure lemon juice? As I was thinking to myself, we both got knocked out from behind, must be people skilled in stealth classes such as thieves¡­.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. The time I woke up I seen my young master inside a cage with them trying to remove her gauntlets and boots, but it is refusing to come off making them extremely pissed at it before they gave up and kicked her over while she is asleep as she didn¡¯t have any defense to protect her. ¡°STOP THAT!¡± Nimue. I couldn¡¯t stop myself from yelling at them which was a bad idea on my part... they already stripped off my magic armor and weapon leaving me only in my one piece dress, but I wasn¡¯t the best in my class at fighting just because I could only use a sword. They came into the cage I was in but I didn¡¯t expect them to be more skilled then the average bandit¡­ which was my mistake. They were too powerful for me to even hit and it became so one sided... I was too sore that I couldn¡¯t even use any of my natural magical power¡­ ¡°Wench, you must know by now this cell is meant to negate Elven Magic!¡± Bandit A. The other one just nodded without care and by the time they were done with me, I couldn¡¯t barely move¡­ they didn¡¯t seem to want to rape me or anything¡­ probably just going to sell us off so they didn¡¯t want to damage that part¡­ can¡¯t get full price for non virgins anyhow¡­ but that doesn¡¯t mean I am one, but it¡¯s safer to not say anything to them. One of them decided it would be fun to stab me with a sword, causing a scream to come out due to the pain they are inflicting. ¡°Where is your village!¡± Bandit A. What? Why would I even ever tell you any village where Elves live? By keeping my silence they decided to keep on torturing me by cutting me and stabbing different parts, but I had noticed that I was starting to lose my power to keep awake¡­ sorry master I couldn¡¯t protect you¡­¡­ But then a bit of my blood splashed on her cheek and ran into her open mouth making her eyes snap open, with the eyes of a beast, she looked at me with such sadness before everything went black. ¡­.. ¡­¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. {POV: Jona} What happened¡­ ? When I opened my eyes, I couldn¡¯t believe what was in front of me, this idiot knight that never did anything wrong and tried her best to befriend me and make me comfortable¡­ and even let herself become a pillow for me, was being cut open, her blood was all over the place¡­ yet something inside me awakened. ¡°You! Dirty! Fucks!¡± Jona. ¡°What? What did you say, wench!¡± Bandit A. ¡°Ya you should just b-¡° Bandit B. Before the other one could finish speaking, I had broke through the cage and used and iron bar to stab through his throat. I pulled it back out while watching his dead body hit the floor of the cage with a loud thud and I began licking his blood off the broken bar. ¡°Impossible! That is made to negate Elven Magi-¡° Bandit A. ¡°Silence, maggot! Your voice is degrading to my ears, you dirty fuck!¡± Jona He got pissed at me but not like I give two shits about him for what he has done; I will make him suffer worse than death. Before he could do anything, I have stabbed the same bar into all of his limbs where the points of the body that helps with movement are located, in a fast chain of attacks, making him immobile as I walked towards him stomping my foot right between his legs while licking the blood of the rod all the while listening to him squeal in pain like the pig he is. ¡°You should have never pissed me off! You dare harm what is mine! You have wasted her blood!¡± Jona. Indeed, the taste of her blood is divine¡­ and it is now wasted all over the floor with all of the dirt. ¡°Your blood, along with the trash bag here, is totally disgusting. Yet, as you can see, I am hungry; I am going to use you to fill my stomach.¡± Jona Before he could even scream, I ripped out his vocal cords then latched my mouth with my newly grown fangs into his throat drinking him dry. So disgusting.. it tastes the same as leftover fat, greasy food from a horribly rated food joint. Now that they are dealt with, how will I heal my blood bag? Oh right, I can use healing magic, well since it¡¯s a bit annoying to use I¡¯ll just use her blood to heal her. Her blood started floating into ball within the palm of my hand while purifying itself before going back into her body, leaving it with a red glow and healing her wounds. Good thing the blood can communicate with me or I would have lost this blood bag¡­. It is nice to have someone that needs me. Crouching down beside her waiting for her to wake up, but after a while it got annoying. So I did the only thing that would normally wake an elf up; I breathed in her ear which made her jump up a bit too fast and hit my forehead with her own. ¡°Fucking idiot! Watch where you¡¯re hitting with that thick skull of yours!¡± Jona. ¡°Wha-What?¡± Nimue. ¡°I said ¡°WATCH WHERE YOUR HITTING WITH THAT THICK SKULL¡±! Man can¡¯t you listen to what others say?¡±Jona I had yelled the words a bit close to her ear making her flinch which I find rather cute~ Now then now that she¡¯s awake, I will give her a reward for being so tasty~ ¡°Now that you¡¯re healed¡­ I will give you a nice reward~¡± Jona. Before she could respond, I put a nice kiss on her lips, tongue and all, making it quite tasty on my part but watching her blush really makes me want to tease her more¡­ so I put my left hand on her chest squeezing a bit deserving a light surprised moan before I stopped and took a bite out of her neck while she¡¯s surprised. I begin drinking her blood to delete the taste of the dirty fast food from the trash on the ground. I lick the wound closed; I have no idea how I know all of this would work, just instinct activated on its own. ¡°Let¡¯s get your stuff and be gone, this place is full of too much trash.¡± Jona. ¡°Y-Yes¡­¡± Nimue. She seems to be dazed but follows my orders like how a good servant is suppose to be, and the dirty trash thought they could take my stuff?? Pfft, that makes me laugh so much since it¡¯s magically bound to me. Only way to remove them is to kill me or I do it myself, and the gauntlets have a lock on them same as the chest plate and boots that require a set movement of the gear to remove them. Once we were done with this dump, we could leave it. I felt so disgusted having just breathed the same air as this trash that harmed my beloved servant! ¡®Jona? Are you okay?¡¯ Rose. Pfft, I am better then okay! I am free! ¡°You¡­ seem to be in the Vampire form¡­¡±Nimue. She seemed to shiver at that realization, somehow I feel she knows more about my race then she even lets on but who cares? I don¡¯t. ¡°So? Who gives a fuck? I feel free and the scum behind us is nothing more than trash littered on the ground.¡± Jona. Turning around, and without knowing how I did so, I shot a bit of my spiritual energy out and crushed the cave we were in. Not that I care to describe such a filthy place. Let¡¯s have some fun while we are walking in this boring forest. It would be better to have something to come out and attack, but the monsters keep running away from me when I walked towards them, as if their survival instincts were in high-gear. Such a bummer, they wouldn¡¯t even be brave enough to strike me. So I had to make the fun by ever so often making Nimue fidget because of how I acted. It is so cute when she blushed when I grabbed her ass, and the way she had let her voice slip when I moved around and wrapped my arms around her. It made it super cute~ By the time the day ended, I didn¡¯t want to go to sleep because of the beautiful moonlight above us; I somehow was able to sleep while cuddling to my blood bag¡­. Such a lovely day¡­ if only the trash didn¡¯t ruin it. Chapter 13 Vamp Trouble It feels like I am free, without any care in the world, no mask just my happy, smiling face while humming some theme songs inside my head as we traveled down the street. However, the clothes I had been wearing up to now¡­.. were really a pain¡­ luckily I figured out how to use blood magic. Neat huh? I mean it uses a lot of mana along with my own blood; I guess my health goes down when I use it¡­ but I can just create clothes to my liking. After storing the clothes I had inside my item box, by stripping pretty much naked in the middle of the road, Rose and Nimue were raising hell as to why I am doing it, but stopped once my clothing started to appear around me. Skull earrings with blood gems engraved within just in case the clothing is torn. I could just use what I have the gems for with shorts for starters, so why did the original me not seem to change that? Meh¡­. The shorts went half way above my knees and are tight fitting, black of course, while the top was a simple black overcoat with a black string T-shirt that fits snug against my skin. I also put my hair put up in a similar twin tailed look then in the common girls used in a bit of the shows I seem. This is way better than the way she had it before¡­. The coat itself went down to my knees, as the boots really were just leather with red fur around the tops of them. Nothing fancy. This is more comfortable. The old style worked I guess¡­ but to have the same style over a long period of time is boring. ¡°Halt!¡± Guard A. ¡­ Really? Do I have to stop for this scum? ¡°Identify yourself.¡± Guard B. ¡­. Really? ¡°I am the Royal Knight of My Lady Jona, my name is Nimue Blu Alister.¡± Nimue. Nimue responded, seeming to understand my annoyance. The guards seemed to have straighten up and let us in after making me get some sort of temporary pass in the shape of a bracelet¡­ really? Such a pain¡­. already ruins the mood because it is a bright yellow, not even the color of gold, so unimpressive. As we made it into the fort, I couldn¡¯t help but feel disgusted by all the trash walking around. I mean look... they are neglecting small children on the side of the street crying, and not even stopping to help the poor kids. ¡°Children, why are you crying?¡± Jona. ¡°I¡­ lost my mommy..¡± Child A. ¡°I¡­ am so hungry¡­.¡± Child B. ¡°I hurt¡­ in my stomach¡­¡± Child C. All three of them look more or less under the age of ten, but the girl that I called Child C seems¡­ to have been through a harsh time leaving me with a sad expression while looking at all of them. ¡°I will help you find your mommy, and you come here¡± Jona. I told the boy which I deem Child A, and told Child C to come forward, while handing dried meat to all three of the kids before placing my hand on the head of the girl, and healing her wounds with a bit of my own blood as the price. This surprised her and made me dizzy a bit. I have already used too much making my clothes, and healing a poor child on top of that. They have seemed to stop crying and I found Child A¡¯s mother, which was really the mother of both Child A and Child B, and she had thanked me the best she could in a hurry before taking the kids off telling them something about not bothering nobles. It also turns out Child C is a half-elf and her parents didn¡¯t care for her and threw her out on the street with nowhere to go and some bad men cornered her and hurt her. Abandoning her here would leave a bad taste in my mouth, so I told her she can serve under me. She seemed shocked at the matter, but followed me anyhow. Once I got a room at the inn for us, I talked Nimue into helping her and teaching her how to moderately fight and train while I have some other things to take care of. Time to make these bad men¡­ taste justice¡­ Since their dirty smell was on the poor child, also some of their blood was on her? Well kind of was in her¡­ which really made me wonder if they didn¡¯t have some sort of problem down below. It turns out I found myself in the slums with a bunch of trash littering the road¡­.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Walking my way through it and killing anyone that got in my way in the funniest ways, by just cutting their clothes off, for men making them bleed from their beloved place until the blood left their bodies¡­ These people all have the smell of death on them anyhow. They kept trying to grope and rape me along the way while I was searching for the people that I want to target. Indeed this is fun¡­ never thought cleaning up trash would be this fun. The blood from the trash following behind me in a ball about the size of a globe shooting out arrows at anyone that drew a sword at me, or even tried to attack¡­. These people are weaker then I had thought them to be¡­ But then the boss of this place came up behind me without me realizing and cut my back open pretty wide¡­. Ugh I have to use the blood of trash to heal myself¡­. even while I healed he didn¡¯t stop slashing at me until all the blood was used and I was feeling rather sick and dizzy from the blood being so disgusting. I lost myself in a blood rage because of all of the blood that I consumed and when I came to... Every one of the dirty trash looked like they were raisins with no blood left in them, and I felt bloated¡­ Why is it people inside towns or forts always weaker then the people outside? Though¡­ I have noticed I did heal my wounds¡­ but didn¡¯t really heal my mana or health¡­. Odd¡­ I can keep regenerating but¡­ my health will still slowly go down by using blood of others¡­ and won¡¯t heal¡­ But the blood of Nimue can heal me¡­ but the rest... It just makes me heal my wounds, while my health slowly ticks down. I guess it is the cost of being this powerful? That I use my health down too I have only one hundred healths left¡­. So tired¡­ By the time I got back to the inn, the girl was asleep and curled up in Nimue¡¯s lap. I am hungry; I took a nice bite out of her neck ended up healing my health back to max, and leaving her tired. ¡°You should really warn me first!¡± Nimue. ¡°Shhh you¡¯ll wake her.¡± Jona. Smiling evilly at her then, smiling sweetly at the girl. All children should be treated with love and care. Then somehow my form seemed to break leaving me back in my Elven form¡­. Ehh??? Ehhh!!!!! I did all that! Oh God¡­ oh God¡­ I didn¡¯t expect a different form would influence my whole personality¡­ Putting up a mask, and looking at Nimue. ¡°Sorry¡­ I lost control¡­¡­¡± Jona. ¡°Oh? It¡¯s fine¡­ I kind of liked the wild side of you¡­¡± Nimue. I.. didn¡¯t expect my own desire that I keep hidden¡­ so deep that even Rose didn¡¯t find it to jump out in my Vampire form¡­ hell I didn¡¯t even expect it to come out¡­ But... the anger I felt when Nimue was at a near death state¡­ I just¡­. snapped¡­. The rest of the time in the fort was used to gather supplies and information on where to avoid at the moment in the beast kingdom. And new clothes¡­ since the clothes I made in Vamp form was kind of just for looks¡­ really I can still make different clothes using the same magic.. as long as the earrings have their supply, but the little girl, that I found out was named Kira, didn¡¯t have much clothes meant for travel, and my magic seemed to only work on myself¡­ other then healing and such I can¡¯t use any of that outside of that form. But¡­ the cost of fighting and that magic really harms the health of the body¡­ and wears down on the mentality the more the magic is used. Because I still remember the black out when the rage came around, without any control over it. Makes that race the hardest to get use to and the deadliest I have so far, that I know of¡­ since it takes my health away in return for power. It seems a bit over powered, but the time per battle really is short, and if I have to fight someone that is like a Paladin that¡¯s good at healing and can stop myself from cutting his/her skin I can¡¯t use my magic to drain him¡­ and by the time I did any damage my health would be too low to keep fighting. The worst part is¡­ my disgust of people is now known by Rose, and probably Nimue¡­. I keep that side of me pretty much sealed long with most of my emotions that I can control, because they have caused me nothing but trouble in my life. Just look at what I did with just a few days? I mean totally a troublesome pain¡­. It could have had treasures in that cave¡­ but no my disgust got the better of me and I just destroyed anything in it along with that disgusting smell. Hell I didn¡¯t even check to see if there was other cages with other people held captive; I just destroyed the place I didn¡¯t want to be in. Going back to the inn after everything was picked up and ready for tomorrows travels. We found out Kira has a high magic capability. So we found some beginner books and intermediate spell books to help her learn and for me to remember all of them so I can use them as reference in the future. Sadly the only real spells she can use is Fire, Water, and minor Holy magic. Making it really a pain to teach her, though holy magic I got her up to being able to heal us with the beginner spells, like shield and healing touch, her fire isn¡¯t any better than that other girl, but her water on the other hand¡­ was her best she could even learn the intermediate ice lance spell¡­ though it would take all of her mana to do just one. So we worked Kira and I until our mana was almost gone and went to sleep in the same bed, since she didn¡¯t want to sleep alone. ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ {POV: Kira} My mommy hates me¡­. same as my daddy¡­ once I turned ten they threw me out in the middle of the road¡­. without any care¡­. they even beat me ever since I could remember¡­ but at least they feed me¡­. Then when I finally found a place of people¡­ I was so hungry¡­ I didn¡¯t know what to do¡­ Crying while looking for anyone to help me a big middle age man said he would give me some food, if I followed him¡­ Not knowing anything bad would happen because he seemed to care with a gentle voice and smiled at me¡­ no one¡¯s ever done that before¡­. But what really happened was¡­ he hurt me in places¡­ then leaving me on the side of the road¡­ with just a piece of hard bread¡­.. I cried my hardest cause I didn¡¯t want to hurt anymore¡­. But an Elven lady, with a knight like Elf beside her, came up to me and asking why we are crying¡­. She even gave us food without harming us first¡­ and she made my pain go away¡­. She even brought the two boys to their mother and when I told her I didn¡¯t have a place to go¡­ because my parents threw me out. She had had a face that looked like she wanted to cry and took me with her to a nice room¡­. She even asked her knight to teach me a bit¡­ It was hard¡­ but she didn¡¯t make me push myself.. she was patient with me and slowly showed me what I did wrong and did it with a more gentle voice¡­ filled with love¡­ something I never felt before but always dreamed of¡­. The other girl just a little older than me had left and came back before I could realize it¡­ and let me even sleep with her¡­. And bought me clothes¡­ food¡­ and said I could stay with her¡­ I saw her read hard on the magic books so she could better teach me¡­ Is this how having a mother really feels like? Falling asleep thinking I finally found the place I want to be¡­. Chapter 14: Family {POV: Jona} I was still rather embarrassed that I did those things in vampire form¡­ If I didn¡¯t have better control of my emotions, and a good poker face, I would be beat red¡­. Though, I know if I were to be asked a question it would be hard¡­ to reply with more than a few words¡­. ¡°Is this what a family is like?¡± Kira. The way she is looking up at me is like a child idolizing their role model as I am trying to brush her hair¡­ As to why I am brushing her hair¡­ Nimue had tried earlier and got it all tangled up, so it is left to me to fix the mess¡­ and all the tangles¡­ how did she mess it up this bad? I know it was kind of messy before but¡­. tt¡¯s a pain to brush it without hurting her.. ¡°Not really¡­.¡± Jona. I really can¡¯t say a family is this helpful to each other¡­ since my own mostly cared for themselves individually. My father did try his best to support us¡­ but he didn¡¯t really openly show his care, and he only worked, paid bills, and talked about conspiracy theories and aliens¡­ He really liked fantasy and such; he was not the type that was paranoid about the government, so enjoyed the stories and making his own ideas. He just wasn¡¯t good with people, and when someone said or showed him an emotion like love¡­ he would shut them off but not on purpose. Though if his family did so, he would fall for it and not care how far it got him into dept. He was loyal; he would do anything. Now.. the cause was my mother¡¯s cousin¡­ my aunt in some odd way¡­ she smoked about a carton of smokes in like three days, combined with the fact she played her disability to the maximum by barely getting out of the bed. This caused dad to feel like he had to go out of his way to help her. Even though she could walk and take care of the minor things, she played it up a lot¡­. My mother wasn¡¯t the type that loved my father or even most of her kids. She spent most of her time dating people online¡­ sending them money that we didn¡¯t have, and going out with other guys around here¡­ yes you can say she was a slut¡­. The worst part is her gambling problem and then blaming that she didn¡¯t have money is because of us, she was very abusive with her words¡­. Though she did really care for my little brother¡­ He had it easy growing up, as to where I had it hard.. I was forced outside when she didn¡¯t want to deal with me. Something happened when I was younger, and at first I could barely remember the day, but now that I have this photographic memory I remember it as if it was yesterday. She took me out when I was just five years old just because I had an accident due to being ill, and mind you it was cold outside¡­ even snow on the ground, she decided to clean me with the water hose¡­ That ended up putting me in the hospital for a few days because of how bad my fever went up. My sister was smarter than the rest¡­ she didn¡¯t make a promise like I did, and went off on her own to better herself while putting distance between mother and herself, though she keeps in contact with me every so often. My brother wasn¡¯t much to speak of; he was babied and got all of the things he wanted all his life,and so he became a spoiled brat. So as to what I am doing be considered family? I would really don''t have a clue¡­ my family probably would be similar to the ones that threw Kira out¡­ if it wasn¡¯t for my father, I have a feeling I would have been thrown out long ago¡­ Things he didn¡¯t know is that when he would be off working, I had a very abusive childhood to the point that if I cried I got beat, if I complained I got beat, and even times where I had to go a few days without food because I didn¡¯t behave like the way she wanted. But I made a promise to take care of them on my father¡¯s death bed, to make him feel more relieved¡­ And I did, I got them the money they needed, while each got their own. My brother got his through my sister, since she was the most responsible out of the family, and she always kept her word¡­ she had promised that she would make sure he didn¡¯t gamble or blow his money on things that wasn¡¯t for him. She didn¡¯t know how the money came or how I got it¡­ but I was allowed to give one phone call¡­ and I chose her¡­ even though I promised to always be there for her, I had to take a chance¡­ since with the money we were getting was at the brink of putting us on the street¡­. She¡¯ll probably understand¡­ ¡°Yes¡­ it is how a family should be¡­ but Kira¡­ don¡¯t you see the face Jona¡¯s making when you said family? I think she had a family that was just as bad as yours¡­¡± Nimue. Face? Reaching up to feel my face and I felt my eyes wet¡­.. my mask broke again? This time I really didn¡¯t realize it? Kira hugged me tightly as I was already finished with her hair. I was mostly absent minded in my own head¡­ and I just hugged her back out of reflex¡­ ¡°We can be a new family¡­ the start of the Flame Clan¡¯s revival!¡± Nimue. She had tried to come up with something and patted my head like a caring mother¡­ even I know what a caring mother is¡­ but I have only seen them in movies and such¡­ ¡°Idiot! Like I wou-¡° Jona. ¡°YAY!~ WE ARE FAMILY NOW!~¡± Kira She cut me off¡­ and there is no way this is how a family should be! I mean we got an idiot knight that serves me¡­. A kid that I picked up myvampire form¡­.. really and me? Who really doesn¡¯t know how a true family would react¡­ I seen acts and plays in movies, but every family in my eyes are just that way in public, but behind closed doors¡­ they are too violent to each other. But if this child wants a make-believe family¡­ I will give her that. I would kill anyone that does harm to her¡­ though I can¡¯t say I can be a true family member to her¡­ since I don¡¯t quite like that word. I am happy she wants to be related to me.. and sad at the same time.. these two¡­ do they know being any type of relation to me will cause them suffering? ¡°You don''t need to cry more, you know? If your family life was bad¡­ I will show you the way a family is really like, even if we aren¡¯t kin by blood, we still have a bond! I will prove you can be with people that love you, and be your family. No matter how long it takes I will prove it on my Knights honor!¡± Nimue. ¡­. Really ? You said something super embarrassing¡­ ahaha¡­ ¡°Idiot! I don¡¯t need you to p-¡° Jona.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°Me too! I will prove that families can be happy!¡± Kira. She cut me off again¡­ I swear I think she is doing that on purpose¡­. And why am I reflexively replying like that¡­ No I am not happy about them wanting to be my family like that¡­ they rarely even know me¡­ it just¡­ maybe they will be reliable servants¡­. Yes¡­. People I can use for my own survival¡­ {POV: Rose} After the first fight, I felt my movements was too open and predictable. If the body isn''t able to move properly, it is just like a puppet with movements. I followed what I did in my world¡­ while I say my world, it is mostly in the mind Jona and I share. I spent majority of my time mastering all the moves of the Blade dance because in here¡­ I can still only use the moves that was set for the class¡­ that being said, the other moves that were sealed or locked, other than the ¡®Unknown Seal¡¯ skills, really were disappointments since they mostly work with a party to be around you¡­ so no need to pay those any mind. Though, when the Vampire side of Jona came out.. I felt more surprised than worried since it seemed like this is really the true her¡­ but if she keeps acting impulsive¡­ she would end up doing something she¡¯d regret¡­ sadly after asking if she was okay¡­ my voice didn¡¯t reach her anymore¡­ When she ¡­. one-sided slaughter the people in the slums¡­ mind you they tried to attack her first¡­ but¡­ it still made me sick¡­ And when she went bonkers¡­ when she took into much blood¡­ The battle there¡­. was just¡­ wrong¡­ There even guys that didn¡¯t do anything too her¡­. So, didn¡¯t matter if he was innocent or not¡­. She just simply sucked their blood¡­. and destroyed them like they were nothing more than entertainment¡­. This isn¡¯t her¡­ this isn¡¯t right¡­. I tried my best to get out to her but I felt there was a wall of darkness¡­ holding me back¡­ I could only see her bathe in the blood¡­. And laugh as she slaughtered them¡­ not really any words, more like a mad beast¡­. Just seeking any and all prey¡­. Once she finally came too¡­ the blood had finally soaked into her skin¡­ I have no idea why¡­ but she didn¡¯t look dirty anymore¡­ And when she was bonkers¡­ her hair¡­ instead of its pretty color¡­ was solid black¡­ the color of darkness¡­. When she was back at the inn and talked a bit¡­ with the new girl and Nimue¡­ I doubt anyone seen it but there was a bright flash¡­ just minor around the new girl and the next thing I knew¡­ Jona was back to normal¡­ I mean her vampire form is¡­ cute in its own way¡­ but not when it goes battle crazy¡­ like today¡­ I loved it more when she helped the kids. However, I feel like I¡¯ve been neglected¡­ I still can¡¯t speak to her¡­ and I feel afraid¡­. ¡°You are not needed¡­ here¡­¡± A mysterious voice. When I looked at the direction of the source, there was a girl¡­ that looked like Jona, only her eyes were more dead with no shine that resembles life,and with a chilling sneer on her face¡­ her hair is the same pitch black, but¡­ what is the most defining of her¡­ is the chains¡­ the chains made of darkness holding her in place. ¡°You should leave¡­. Let her fall back into the world she comes from¡­ like me¡­¡± Dark Jona. I am sure¡­ that is the dark one¡­ but is being held by chains¡­ so she can¡¯t harm me physically¡­ well if you consider it physical¡­ ¡°You can¡¯t even talk to her anymore, you know that your bond is broken, right?¡± Dark Jona ¡°You will soon be chained up like me¡­ and I will take your place¡­ and bring the world into darkness¡­ letting all those idiots live out their lives with stupid grins on their faces.¡± Dark Jona. ¡°NO! I will never let you ever make her do that!¡± Rose. I will try my best to keep this evil in place¡­ I can¡¯t let such a nice person like Jona fall to prey to this monster¡­ even if she tries to play it off as she doesn¡¯t care¡­ I know she does¡­. ¡°Then why can¡¯t you talk to her? Ahahahahah! It¡¯s because it¡¯s her choice! Just like she can¡¯t hear me, you will be unheard and forgotten.¡± Dark Jona. Her laugh¡­ sounded creepy when her voice is pretty monotone¡­ ¡°So what! I will still fight you with what¡¯s right! You need to back off!¡± Rose. Somehow around rose chains of light started to appear around her, but it didn¡¯t seem to bind her¡­ but seemed to tell her that there isn¡¯t anything to worry. Then the fight between Rose and Dark Jona began. Though that is a story for another time¡­ Who is the real light? And who is the real darkness? Neither can know until one is the victor. ¡®Rose?¡¯ Jona. The voice of the owner that didn¡¯t know what is going on, Rose''s other half. ¡°Yes? Is there anything you need help with?¡± Rose. While speaking like nothing is wrong the battle between Rose''s chains of light, and the darkness around the small garden that Rose made her own keep fighting for ground while Rose started feeling tired¡­ but couldn¡¯t let the darkness win¡­ something inside her couldn¡¯t allow it. ¡®I was wondering if there is a way to make your body for real?¡¯ Jona. {Pov: Nimue} I had no idea how the vampire side of Jona could be so cute¡­ and childish, but to say that to a half-elf? I know my master is only acting on a whim¡­. But if we were to go into the Elven Kingdom¡­ that poor girl would have to go through suffering¡­ as long as she¡¯s by our side it won¡¯t be as bad¡­ but I doubt master would want her to stay with us forever¡­ knowing master¡¯s pace¡­ she would rather not have something to protect¡­ but now it¡¯s too late. The girl is named Kira¡­ and is so attached to master¡­ When she asked if this was what family was like, I expected master to just ignore it¡­ since she wasn¡¯t asking anyone predicular¡­ but master froze for a bit¡­ and even though her face seemed expressionless she started crying with a troubling sadness in her eyes¡­ Was her family that bad? Did it scar her that badly in that she would deny this is family like? To me, it seemed like two sisters sitting together. And as for me myself¡­ I always wanted children of my own¡­ but as a Royal Knight I couldn¡¯t have any due the training we go under¡­ it damages the chances of having a child, even worse than it already is¡­ Elves have a low chance of giving birth to children as is¡­ and the training is harsh since you start at a really young age. I couldn¡¯t help myself but to try to cheer her up, and tell her that we can make a family with us, even if we aren¡¯t blood, and I will prove to her we can. She seemed to try to go tsundere and always deny me, but Kira countered it by backing me up as if she was doing it on purpose but I know she isn¡¯t, in her own way she is just trying to help out. This girl is good to keep so let¡¯s try to make sure she stays with us, since it¡¯s rare for an elf to have a holy attribute and they are usually blessed by the Goddess of Light as their bringers. As well as all elves well pure blood elves like myself are blessed by Gaia, which lets us use nature magic, though half-elf¡¯s can¡¯t use this magic, since their other side of their race will negate the blessing. No one knows why¡­ they just know that most elves will never have a child with another race, unless forced. Back to master¡­ the Flame Princess is also known as the ¡®Dusk Maidens¡¯ since they have a different type of birth then all the rest of us¡­ most of them are not born in the womb of the mother, but with the mana of the mother. I have no idea as to why this is happening, but in the pains of creating the ¡®Dusk Maidens¡¯ they have to go through a year in nothing but darkness¡­ to give birth to the strongest baby, and then the child is then forced to stay in darkness too they are thirteen years old before set out on the world, the mother is usually there with them the whole time teaching them that this darkness is just the start of their race. Endless and yet beautiful. This has been told to me by my teacher, though I was around before the Kingdom of Flames was destroyed, I have had a chance to see one of these so called ¡®dusk Maidens¡¯ they aren¡¯t treated as true princesses of Flame, but the grand magus of Flame. Since the true princesses are born normally¡­ which is odd¡­ usually around the same time. But even then they aren¡¯t true princesses¡­ One is raised with pure love¡­ and light, while the other is surrounded by darkness¡­ Then there is a ritual that combines the two, to make the true princess, though this also makes a third Persona inside the body making the ¡®Dusk Princess¡¯ and is known for their power to step into the land of war. When the time comes for me to tell her¡­ I hope she isn¡¯t the Dusk maiden¡­ or the Dusk Princess¡­ because the evil in them is hard to control, the more they live without the one raised in love¡­ they will utterly fall into darkness. {Pov: Kira} Poor¡­ Jona¡­ she had it like me? Maybe worse? Did her family feed her¡­? Did she have to feed herself? It doesn¡¯t matter¡­ she saved me¡­ and I will save her by being her family~ With the sad times behind us, we can be happy together! And all the food¡­¡­ she gives me¡­. I can¡¯t wait to she gives me more¡­ And all the clothes~ I wonder if she¡¯ll let me try playing with her hair some¡­ it is so pretty¡­. {Pov: Jona} I was wondering if there is a way to make your body for real? I mean wouldn¡¯t it be easier for us to fight together if you didn¡¯t have to be crammed in my head all the time, suffering from my crazy mind? ¡®Yes, I would love to have my own body¡­ but as of right now I am happy just being beside you, after all we are true sisters.¡¯ Rose. If you say so¡­ but I will keep an eye out¡­ it has to be rough for you being in there¡­ I know how dark my mind can get¡­ ¡®You have no idea~¡¯ Rose. I guess it¡¯s time to hit the road. ¡°Let¡¯s go girls, we need to get too some distance before sundown.¡± Jona. ¡°Okay.¡± Nimue and Kira. Chapter 15: End of Peace It has been three days since we departed from the Fort, even though it has been pretty boring, Nimue and Kira have been getting along rather well. Nimue has taught Kira the basics of using a sword and the proper footwork, but with her lack of actual strength she ends up not being able to continue to practice after maybe an hour of it. Her magic capability on the other hand has been increasing at an extremely fast pace. She is able to use all the intermediate spells in the water specialty and even a blizzard spell that covers the whole area in a tornado storm with us in the center. However, she can only keep the blizzard up for about thirty minutes before is completely out of mana¡­. Yet, her mana pool is increasing at a scary rate¡­ it¡¯s better than mine¡­ I can only cast the blizzard spell for a good five minutes. Even with my Witch class still set¡­ I thought that ice type spells would come easy to me¡­ but man was I wrong¡­. The spells I can use the best are thunder, fire, and earth types. Each of these types have a fast rate of learning that can¡¯t even mach up to Kira¡­ even though I have mastered all the intermediate spells, I get the feeling my witch class is better with alchemy then spells¡­ like the game I had been a type of mage that fought using the elements. While using alchemy, my hunch was right, I was able to make some good health potions¡­ sadly these potions don¡¯t heal me at all, they will heal the other two¡­ but some reason only blood from a willing host can heal me. As to say how I figured out it was willing¡­ Kira offered a little bit of her blood¡­ though the way she did it was cute she had seen Nimue giving me hers¡­ in the form of potions¡­ by mistake and the idiot told her the reason¡­. She had tripped as she was running towards me and ended up face planting near my feet¡­ and when Kira looked up at me¡­ I couldn¡¯t help but think cute¡­ though I quickly hidden it from my face. Well the point is¡­ she told me the reason she was rushing to me with a little cut on her forehead¡­ and with tears building up in her eyes¡­ I can¡¯t help but like this view? So I licked her forehead¡­ and realized that a willing person will heal me. That¡¯s beside the point though.. her blushing face and stunned look was also cute making me almost want to cuddle her¡­ . what? I am not¡­ going girly here¡­. Cute is justice¡­ I digress; I am just trying to avoid reality¡­ the main event that¡¯s happening now is we have come to a village or was it a town? Anyway¡­ that isn¡¯t the point of it¡­ the zombie like beasts that I killed in Hifo¡­ seems to be crawling out of the ground from a mist of darkness¡­ with all the beastmen warriors fighting the ones that are out and attacking. A girl with solid white hair and red eyes in the middle of the monsters and commanding them¡­ she even has horns on her head¡­ it¡¯s hard to figure out her body shape through the robe she has on¡­ but I can tell she is bad news¡­. I ended up switching my main class back to Braver and when I set my second class to Dragon Knight¡­. My vampire side¡­ I felt the change in my body as if that class is linked to her¡­ unlike last time it awoke because I was angry, this time it is stirring because of my fear of this girl, and even I can¡¯t change to it on my own¡­ I¡¯ve tried it seems to be the type that awakens on its own, just like the angel side¡­ both can¡¯t be manually changed¡­If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡­¡­¡­.. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After a bit of silence Kira and Nimue both looked at me worried which resulted in me tilting my head at them. ¡°She.. changed forms again¡­¡±Nimue. ¡°She looks¡­ weird¡­ when her eyes change like that!¡± Kira. ¡°So? Let¡¯s have a party~¡± Jona. I am serious, who would of thought the first thing I¡¯d come across now was undead? Undead are extreme vile on this Earth¡­ even worse compared to the maggots in the last place I was in. But as I was walking towards the village, I took out my katana¡­ can¡¯t forget this can we? And with Nimue¡¯s blood potions, I am sure I draw out the torture for awhile here¡­ ehehe¡­ ¡°Yo, demon bitch~¡± Jona. Both Nimue and Kira jumped at my dialog. Oops, sorry? The demon girl turned her view to me then widened her eyes for a moment before turning the undead waste towards me, but unlike last time¡­ when I activated Braver¡¯s stance¡­.. I had the katana in my hand and quickly cut their blades off their back through the arms that is holding them while leaving the trash clean-up to Nimue¡­ which¡­ was doing a decent job surprisingly. What surprised me more was Kira stayed back using her minor healing capability to heal Nimue. Meh¡­ not like I am jealous or even care¡­ the weaklings need to care for themselves as I got bigger prey. ¡°Demon b-¡° Jona. ¡°It isn¡¯t Demon bitch! My name is Stora!¡± Demon idiot. So she¡¯s an idiot¡­ that can¡¯t take taunts? ¡°So idiot why are you in my way? Can¡¯t you see I was walking through here?¡± Jona. Not like I care for weakling beast that can¡¯t defend themselves against trash of this level¡­. ¡°Oh? You aren¡¯t here to get in my way?¡± Idiot. ¡°Why would I want to play the hero¡­ do I even look like one to you?¡± Jona. ¡°Now¡­ that you mention it¡­ you do seem to be more like us¡­.¡± Idiot. ¡°Idiot can you get out of my way? Or do I have to remove you¡­.¡± Jona. Really this idiot thinks I want to play the hero? Who in their right mind would bring trouble on themselves just to save a useless village like this? Well¡­ I did save Hifo¡­ but I had other needs there¡­ like dropping off groupies that I was forced to save. ¡°It¡¯s not idiot!¡± Idiot. ¡°Really¡­.? Only an idiot would tell a stranger their name¡­.¡± Jona. Seriously? Why would you tell your possible enemies your name? She didn¡¯t even respond to that and just turned red faced and tried to cut my head off¡­. Luckily I have my stance activated so my blade meet with her claw¡­ that she formed out of nowhere¡­.. The impact of the strike made me actually fly back and roll on the ground a few times¡­ Oh, I will enjoying this~ But leave it to my shitty luck, she seemed to have noticed I was just buying time for her minions to be destroyed¡­ and she just gritted her teeth and yelled something along the lines like ¡°I will remember this! I will make you pay!¡± and disappeared into the darkness¡­. Talk about a mood killer¡­. And it doesn''t stop, I was thanked by the villagers for saving them¡­ all I did was buy time for them to team up on the undead¡­. After all that, Nimue told me the secrets of the Flame Clan¡­ and what I just fought¡­ more like got thrown from was a Dusk Maiden, or something like that¡­ and seeing them moving about is the start of a war¡­ But why doesn¡¯t that bother me? Well¡­. War is all fun and games~ you can kill without getting into trouble as long as it¡¯s the enemy~ That whole night I ended up singing the theme to a rather loved bad guy in black. It seems that we will be going through the different kingdoms because Nimue thinks we need to gather allies¡­ for this war, and the humans alone won¡¯t be able to do anything or want to work with the other races, the elves she said we¡¯ll have more issue with them since they hate outsiders¡­. But she said the other races would love to fight against this war¡­ since most of them are war hungry¡­. Really? The Angel¡¯s are war hungry? Anyhow I ignored most of what she said¡­ only really cared about one thing. And that is life is about to become entertaining for me, i''ll be looking forward to it~ Chapter 16 Boredom After the villagers calmed down, not many have been killed, these beastmen did fight to protect their weak and died honorably by battle. Even if I can¡¯t call these people useless, and they have all died with their weapons still gripping in their hands even when it was cut off their body it never dropped the blades they used. ¡°I have a request.¡± Jona With the knowledge of my magic isn¡¯t that high, but blood art¡­ is like it¡¯s something vampires naturally knew, when I first got into this form all that information was intergraded right into my mind. My alchemy, my Witches magic all of it all was thrown into my mind leaving me with a headache but nothing to slow my movements or make me sick. Therefore I know how to honor these warriors¡­ I will make them a experiment with my blood magic~ They will become the wall and guardians of these people, and a new toy for me. The village head surrounded by what I guess is their warriors walked towards me holding his head high with great pride and vigor in his eyes even if is old he isn¡¯t one to underestimate¡­. Interesting¡­. ¡°What is it?¡± Village Head He didn¡¯t even seem to speak with any formalities, such interesting¡­. Really why couldn¡¯t I use him as a toy for this instead? The ones that died¡­ probably are nowhere near as strong. ¡°I want to do an experiment on your dead¡± Jona ¡°You want to what!¡± Village Head ¡°You dirt-¡° Warrior A He was shut up by a blade that I stuck into his mouth although it didn¡¯t harm him too much, I didn¡¯t want to hear what he had to say¡­ after all none of these people have any value to me other then the leader. ¡°I will be sure to ask them, but I believe they would rather use their bodies to protect their loved ones more than being rotten corpses¡± Jona The other warriors seemed to want to protest but the leader raised his hand then looked at me while eyeing my sword as if to tell me to sheath it so I pulled it back and did so while stepping back a little. ¡°how would you ask them?¡± Leader Yeah¡­ let¡¯s call him leader¡­ it¡¯s easier on me then remembering any of their names¡­ though they did tell me earlier¡­ but they were too big to even pronounce. I tilted my head, how else did he think I would? I mean they died with regret there for they are still standing there¡­. Wait does this mean they can¡¯t see them? That would¡­ be moot point if I can¡¯t prove it. ¡°I can see the dead that have died with regret.¡± Jona If they agree to my request and make an oath to me¡­ they can be brought back to life for one year, in that time they can finish what they left undone¡­ but this¡­ I need to¡­ know if this actually works because it takes too much power to do it otherwise¡­ ¡°Can you prove it?¡± Leader ¡°No, but if they agree I can give them a new body, though their life will be only for one year, and they can never leave this village, the most they can do¡­ is maybe walk a little bit out of it, but the farther they go¡­ the more their souls are drawn to the afterlife.¡± Jona Come on¡­ keep on the act for them, and if they agree~ I can have fun messing with the dead¡­. Though I would hate if it failed¡­. All well all life is about is gambling at the right chances~ and seeing what your given~ hehehe it just makes me happy to see what could happen. ¡°Go ahead then.¡± Leader ¡°Villag-¡° Warrior A ¡°Shut up, even if they died as warriors, they didn¡¯t die with honor! They didn¡¯t even scratch though things! With that disgrace all of us would agree to sell our souls to the devil to redeem our honor!¡± Leader He is indeed as interesting as I thought. All well¡­ I hope this will not be boring¡­ Looking at the warriors that have fallen. ¡°Do you all swear to follow the Oath of Blood, and fight and become the foundation for my conquest! If you want to redeem your honor like your Leader has said then kneel before me and swear to be my warriors of blood! Swear on the Oath of blood, your ancestors and your God! That if you fulfill your Oath in one year¡¯s time you will be given extra time to settle your lives regrets!¡± Jona Come on keep playing this. Agree to me become my toys~ ¡°We swear by Oath of Blood to fight and become your warriors in hopes for honor of battle that our ancestors loved, and here by swear by the God of War we will fulfill this Oath!¡± all Dead warriors Ooh¡­ interesting¡­ I didn¡¯t think they would want to come back heeheheh~ ¡°Then by the Blood of Flames shall take your bone, your blood and your body to create your new lives as living weapons for my cause, by binding you to this village your job is to raise warriors for me in the time of need for one year¡¯s time we will crush all that oppose us! By this I swear to the Goddess of Time that in one year¡¯s time I will release you to settle your regrets before your everlasting rest!¡± Jona A binding white light appeared before me while a glowing red one appeared around their bodies as proof the gods have heard this oath before vanishing. Raising my hand towards their bodies taking all their blood into a ball above my hand, while their bones came out of their body with great force splitting their skin like paper before floating in front of me slowly turning to powder¡­. Then the last part is to take the rest of their body and torn it to ash¡­ with my free hand I raised it and cast a fireball towards their bodies turning what was left to ash before it floated up and mixed with the bone powder¡­The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. While all this has been going on my health is dropping rapidly because I have to constantly inject my own blood in with their ashes, leaving me no choice but to drink blood potions to keep from dying from this. And then once I mixed their blood with the ash and powder and started having them take shape of what I think they would of looked like¡­ only problem is once it was done¡­ the bodies didn¡¯t exactly come back as the same age but younger, more like most of them were over thirty in looking ended up being around the age of eighteen. All of them kneeled before me as I had gone pale from the lack of blood on my part and even after drinking all the blood potions it only brought enough back for me to be at least fifty percent of my total health. You¡¯re probably wondering why I am doing this right. Well as soon as the undead was defeated, and that girl¡­ left me hanging, they started talking about a set war that has been going on, how the humans have been raiding their villages and forcing them to be slaves, as well as fodder for holding off the undead¡­. And the undead have also been coming to take them to increase their ranks of undead soldiers¡­ they haven¡¯t been given any breaks since three months ago, they have had over half of their women taken by the humans, as well as most children. Leaving only the old and the warriors behind, cause they will be ordered to march in a few days or their children and women will be killed. And they want me to go to the town a day away¡­ where the human army has been staying at to save their women and children along with the town¡¯s folk¡­ I first refused¡­ but Nimue and Kira double teamed me into helping this rabble¡­. Such a pain right? They call themselves warriors¡­ yet they couldn¡¯t protect their own, and better yet became slaves and constantly been fighting off the undead¡­ to we came¡­ they seem to think we are scouts from the Elven kingdom¡­ such a pain I didn¡¯t feel like correcting them but Nimue¡­ did anyhow¡­ and once they knew I came from the Flame Clan they been even more annoying. The point is their kingdom is under war from the human side and the undead side, and can¡¯t defend itself much longer. Why can¡¯t they? Well that is pretty easy to figure out the undead doesn¡¯t tire, and most of their warriors are tied off keeping the majority of them back. While the humans decided it was a good idea to use the Beast Kingdom as the battleground and use their people as foot soldiers while their kingdom is rather much living with ease, aside from a few undead here and there. So¡­ instead of worrying about this rabble I decided to bring their dead to make them my slaves to protect this village while they take the remaining children and train them how to fight, even if they would be useless in actually fighting the undead, they at least can fight the humans. Hell I even told them to train the remaining women here¡­ it¡¯s like they didn¡¯t fight? Really? They would increase their own survival if they were warriors too. As to what I am doing now? Well whipping these whelps into shape by making them all fight me to see what these so called warriors really are¡­ of course I won¡¯t use magic, or my weapon¡­ but let¡¯s see if they can even do anything. ¡°Alrighty~ Now that that is settled~ time for that party~ all of you whelps that call yourselves Warriors come at me with all you got! If you can lay a single scratch on me I will give you a proper weapon~¡± Jona Then took one of the beginner weapons I had made back in the game with my blacksmithing. Never thought I would have use for these things¡­. Well they are just a few axes, spears, swords, and daggers with stat bonus¡­ of like plus thirty depending on the weapon and usually only one or two stats are plus they even have stuff like minor bleed or poison effects on them. What that seems more then beginner weapons? Well¡­ imagine a beginner weapon completely maxed out and was crafted as masterwork¡­ they ended up being blue rarity in the game, though pretty sure it¡¯s just a step above uncommon so I guess just rare? Cause they are the lighter blue, while as the step right after green was a dark blue¡­ but all in all they aren¡¯t that good since I was aiming for the golden rarities. But that isn¡¯t the main point, the point is a warriors life is also the weapons life¡­ them seeing something they deemed useful and high quality they would put the effort to try to earn it¡­ there was a few asking if I was sure¡­. But after they made sure I was serious they all came at me at the same time? Really¡­ I guess pack mentality is how they fight¡­ So disappointing.. they are all unorganized and aren¡¯t even striking properly with their weapons¡­. Seriously? I keep dodging around them with my hands even behind my back with a bored look the whole time cause they left themselves open for the most part with their swings¡­ all I had to do was slide under their legs¡­ or move in between the gaps of their swings¡­ cause each other was there they stopped their attacks as I used their own friends as shields by moving around behind them. Even taunts¡­ and insults¡­ didn¡¯t get them to be any fun¡­. After about an hour or two they all dropped breathing heavy while I just sighed at them.. are these warriors? Or just country bumpkins? Or is just this world that weak? Nah¡­ can¡¯t be that girl¡­ nearly broke my arm with her swing and if I didn¡¯t defend when I did¡­ she would have killed me with just one blow. ¡°You are not warriors¡­ but weaklings¡­¡± Jona Sigh¡­.. why is it never fun when I try to make things fun? Only when its random streaks of good luck.. All well no point in getting upset¡­ I had expected these whelps being useless but they aren¡¯t any better than average people¡­ they just have a bit more raw power then the other races¡­ I could tell that, but if they can¡¯t hit them they are nothing more than weak useless bystanders that get in the way. They were all mad at my remark to them but none of them seemed to have the energy to get up. I guess training them would be more fun? Maybe they¡¯ll become fun once their movements and stances are fixed? But¡­ the time it would take to teach them the women and children could be harmed, killed or worse. ¡°I will leave you these weapons¡­. But in return I want you to remember my moves, and practice it on your own. If I come back for another round of fun and you disappoint me again¡­ I will deem you nothing more than weak pets that can do nothing without a master!¡± Jona They eyed me with such hatred¡­ good! I picked up each weapon one at a time while slowly doing each stance down to the foot work to how to handle the weapons with the deadly force to leave next to no opening, well¡­ every strike in combat has an opening, like with a axe cause it¡¯s heavy there is a blind spot, and against a faster weapon if they strike right after you or before your dead. Same goes for the swords I gave¡­ since they are big men I gave them what others call great swords that are pretty heavy, some call them bastard swords, but to me they are way too big¡­ just the blade is taller than I am. The spears¡­ well everyone knows their weakness is if someone gets too close and can maintain the strikes they can at most defend but striking usefully is a bit hard to do so. The daggers are fast but they leave less changes of defense since they can only block a small space at a time. But surprisingly after they rested a bit they started to copy my movements and stances¡­ though sloppy they seem to be a little better than before so I leave it to them¡­. What? Did you expect me to guide them farther? We¡­ that would be too much of a pain and no fun since they can get their own understanding of it. So¡­ after that¡¯s done I decided to get my meal¡­ alone in a hay hut with and drank the blood that tasted like the world¡¯s best juice~ ¡°So.. you agree to help them in this war?¡± Nimue ¡°If I didn¡¯t you would just beg me to it got annoying¡­¡± Jona And Rose too¡­ though she¡¯s been silent for the most part¡­ I know she wants me to help these people. As for me, I just want to know why these undead like zombies are the same as on that island¡­ and why that girl looked similar to me. Nah¡­ the real thing I want is to see how far I can go, what thrills of battle¡­ the secrets of this world and all the fun that comes around. Though so far¡­ I doubt I have ever had to get serious in this form¡­ if that girl didn¡¯t leave I am sure I would have had been nearly beat to death or died, but she left¡­ for what reason I don¡¯t know. ¡°Good¡­ we just need to worry about how to protect Kira¡± Nimue ¡°She¡¯ll be fine¡­ After all she has us~ Her magic is also stronger than mine¡­¡± Jona ¡°Yes I agree.¡± Nimue We both looked down at the sleeping girl to the right of Nimue¡­ while I am at the left side, as to why? Well¡­ this hut is too small and it¡¯s more interesting this way and more comfy then these hard pillows I rather use something soft. Sigh¡­ I hope tomorrow will be more interesting cause if it is this boring and full of nothing but whelps, trash, undead and other useless things¡­. I will die of boredom. I hope I see that girl again~ I want to test my limits~ Chapter 17 Over Limit Part 1 One of the weaklings offered to show us the way to the town¡­ it was a boring walk¡­ nothing living was in the path we walked, not even weeds, everything is like I walked into a barren wasteland. According to them the war between the undead and the humans doing their ugly tactics has did major damage to the land that was once beautiful according to them. But for some reason they seemed to be afraid of me¡­ this guide¡­ keeps its away¡­ hell for some reason Kira and even Nimue is keeping their distance? I don¡¯t remember doing anything scary¡­ but every since I walked into this wasteland¡­ I felt in a pretty disgusted¡­ I just want to wipe it out of existence this wasteland with nothing but suffering. There is never anything fun in places like this it¡¯s all boring no way to offer anything¡­ and reminds me of the time I was thrown out of my own house¡­ after all I did was mistakenly burned my mother¡¯s purse¡­ hell I was only seven years old! It just makes my blood boil just remembering that event to the point I can feel the air around me rise¡­ It was a place that had hit a forest fire though the fire has been long sense put¡­ the damage to the ground left it pretty ugly and dead, and being a brat I was I thought it was just a game of hide and seek, but I spent my time there for at least three days before I was found. Anyhow no point in going into details in that it just is wrong¡­ And what I came across on top of a hill at the town¡­. Is over five thousand soldiers on the outside of the town surrounding it by all sides¡­ who knows how many are inside the walls¡­ this¡­ is more like a city then a town? I mean¡­ what town would have walls that tall around it? ¡°So what¡¯s the plan?¡± Guide ¡°Poison mist?¡± Jona ¡°¡±No!¡±¡± Nimue and Guide Kira is just watching from the sides not seeming to understand too much about the topic¡­ but I guess that¡¯s because her mind is still on the walls of the town they call it¡­ or statue of a dragon on the top of it. Sigh¡­. ¡°We need a way to¡­ get in¡­ and slaughtering my way in isn¡¯t going to work¡± Jona ¡°Why not?¡± Kira ¡°Cause¡­ they have too many¡­.¡± Jona ¡°But aren¡¯t you invincible!?¡± Kira What does this girl see me as? And why has it that everyone is at least keeping five feet away from me? ¡°Why are¡­ all of you staying away¡­?¡± Jona ¡°¡±¡­¡±¡± Guide and Nimue ¡°Cause the sparks coming from you!¡± Kira Sparks? Looking at myself I see white sparks coming from me¡­ Ah! That reminds me I have Dragon Knight set¡­ my White Dragon¡­. That all Dragon Knights get a chance to earn a dragon with their class¡­ I chose the White one which is mostly for healing¡­ no clue what it does to undead, but it¡¯s damage was minimum¡­ the best part about the white dragon is it¡¯s fusion ability¡­. I can draw the power of a dragon called ¡®Dragon Ascension¡¯ but my dragon has never been that obedient to me¡­ in fact in order for me to ever use that ability¡­ I had to force it¡­ which has a ton of backlash.. I would never use it in this world unless I am left with no choice, but the sparks are proof the dragon has come with me¡­. Rare¡­ But it won¡¯t do any good in this battle¡­ since they are human at most it can do is its overall draconic power that comes with every dragon¡­ But¡­ if it¡¯s like the game I¡¯d end up having to die too¡­ cause it always tried to kill me first¡­ to get free¡­. In the game if your power and strength wasn¡¯t above them they would never submit, and with the white dragons regeneration and power in place of firepower other dragons had¡­. Made it harder to control and not many people would choice it cause of the fact you¡¯d lose so much exp just summoning it cause of it¡¯s bad habit of striking the knight first. ¡°It¡¯s just a sign my dragon.. is ready to be used¡­¡± Jona ¡°¡±¡±Really!?¡±¡±¡± All of them Sigh¡­ such a bunch of idiots¡­ ¡°Yes but if I summoned it I would die too¡­ it hates me¡± Jona ¡°out of the question then¡­¡± Nimue ¡°I got an idea¡­¡± Kira We all turned to her and seen how fidgety she is¡­ thinking her idea might be bad¡­ ¡°And what is it?¡± Jona I might have sounded a bit rude¡­ but she needs to get a better grip ¡°Why not¡­ a distraction¡­. Since¡­ I am a child¡­ and so¡­ am¡­. Jona¡­ they¡­¡± Kira She seemed to be unable to speak anymore out of being nervous¡­ but that¡¯s a really good idea ¡°I¡¯ll go..¡± Jona ¡°What! No!¡± Nimue ¡°I can¡¯t let Kira do it.. and you need to sneak in from another way¡­ you¡¯re a knight after all, do something! You¡¯re the one that wants to save this rabble not me!¡± Jona I am really frustrated at how I have to be a stupid hero, they only ever go through suffering and pain, and it isn¡¯t fun to be good¡­ They all might of tried to protest but I put my weapons inside my item box and dashed away towards the soldiers first thing to do is I cut myself and had blood from my arms drip down to my hands taking about ten percent of my health¡­ maybe I cut too deep? Anyhow I made myself stumble into a soldier turn around¡­. ¡°what the?¡± Soldier A They seem to hear him well at least a few around him they all turned and looked at me.. I put fake tears in my eyes¡­ really easy since I was looking down when I ran into him¡­ god that hurt¡­ the stupid armor¡­ ¡°M¡­.monsters¡­. kill¡­.¡±Jona They seemed to understand what had happened, though some of them had lustful eyes looking at me¡­ but I did a quick shot of my blood into their skin¡­. In hopes I could control them for a short period of time¡­. The knowledge gave to me states that I can control undead, but the living varies ¡­..This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. But it seemed to work because they all seemed to take me through the groups of soldiers to their leader.. without talking much other then saying what they are doing¡­ as I move along I been dropping and shooting my blood on the ground or in the soldiers on the way, as a sit¡­ time limit¡­ I know the gamble is I can control my blood from the distance of inside the town. ¡°Captain we found a lone elf child, she looks like she ran from monsters¡­ probably her family protected her to get her this far.¡± Soldier A ¡°Oh? That¡¯s good I was just getting bored at looking at these¡­ beasts¡± Captain He looked like a really old man¡­ with just heavy silver armor and a crappy cape¡­ with a mustache that looked like it wanted to run from him as it pointed out as far as the hairs can go to the sides. Really much a long nose¡­ and ugly old face¡­ nothing really worth remembering¡­ god that nose is long¡­ I wonder if it grows when he lies. Looking around I see a few of them have already been killed, children with ripped clothes, and their bodies cut all over¡­ women didn¡¯t go off much better but I think the living ones that lost children or had this happen in front of them¡­ will be far off mentally¡­ then the children that are still living¡­ since as a child it might be traumatic¡­ but¡­ if they are strong they can move past it.. .some can even probably lock this memory away cause of how bad it is from a view I see¡­ even I feel disgusted. ¡°Now¡­¡± Jona I was going to wait¡­ to he lowered his guard or so on¡­ but then that would ruin the fun and I hate acting weak when theses vile beings are walking and breathing the same air as me! The blood I have had outside or on the soldiers started reacting and entering over a thousand soldiers like needles¡­. Just a drop would do.. and instead of them becoming under my command they went berserk and started killing everyone around them causing a riot outside. While the soldiers I could control started fighting the ones inside¡­ though they give a different feel then the outside soldiers¡­ probably elites? ¡°Ahahaha! Puny humans! You all should gravel at my feet like the vile creatures you are!¡± Jona ¡°You-¡° Captain ¡°Please! Your voice is like nails to my ears, and I prefer you to be silent like the insect you are.¡± Jona While this went on between me and the captain my puppets have already been slain¡­ they didn¡¯t even kill one of them¡­ They started rushing me while the captain stayed in the back just fuming at my reply though I stopped listening to him, because one of the elites slashed at me without much power behind it means it was meant to maim, so I easily dodged it while getting behind him and spin kicked him to trip him by hitting his back because of the momentum he used made him fall over face. "Heehee, you should stay like that~ it suits you!" Jona Saying so while sitting on his back for a moment while the surrounding elites just looked at me in shock. I couldn¡¯t help but laugh at their shock in glee, "You know... you aren''t COMPLETELY useless like this..." While saying so I already moved as fast as I could and undid most of their belts because they were probably too shocked a small child like me took down one of them and whistled at them from behind them with a playful smile. "I''d say this is a collection of boys... not men..." Jona Which pissed all of them off as they tried to rush me while most of them ended up tripping over their own pants that slid down their legs while I was bending over laughing my ass off at how this is supposed to be elites? They really are stupid to not take a child seriously in a fight, because if they are brave enough to step forward they should at least be careful¡­ Well saying to be careful also works for me too.. cause I didn¡¯t take them serious some have ended up getting behind me swinging their weapons at me all at the same time leaving me barely any time to doge so some of their blades actually cut into me but I didn¡¯t care¡­ cause I punched them with all my strength leaving a really big dent in their armor as they flew back crashing into the brick houses here and not getting up¡­ But¡­ I feel weaker¡­ fuck¡­ most of been poison on one of their blades¡­. ¡°Wench! Stop right now or your friends will get it!¡± Captain Flinching at his words while slowly moving my head seeing Nimue beaten pretty badly and breathing heavily, and Kira¡­ she ¡­. Doesn¡¯t seem to be moving¡­. She is a live right? Right¡­. She has to be just sleeping¡­ she has too¡­ ¡°Did¡­ you kill the child¡­..¡± Jona My voice sounded a bit darker then before¡­ losing all emotion in my voice as if it¡¯s flat like a robotic voice and cold. ¡°So what if we did? After all we will teach her body a good time alive or dead.¡± Captain He was laughing in a disgusting way. I couldn¡¯t help but snap losing myself to the rage and anger inside my body that is boiling over. ¡­.. ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­.. {POV: Rose} What has happened¡­ the dark looking Jona just vanished¡­ was she let out again? How come I can¡¯t control and help Jona yet she can? I have to find a way¡­ to help her¡­ before she does something she regrets¡­ because I can still feel life¡­ in that girl but barely¡­ {POV: Nimue} I watched as my master ran into the soldiers and get taken inside with little to no trouble, before the warrior Guroot told me there is a secret path around the back that we can get into, so we followed him. I am sure as long as Kira is at my back I can protect her and she can heal me and help me But¡­ I was over confident in my own power¡­ they used poison¡­ I didn¡¯t expect it to come from Guroot¡­ but he stabbed me in the side with a small needle, before trying to stab Kira but that isn¡¯t something I will allow. Getting on my own by pushing Kira back out of the way was a move I done without thinking and she hit her head pretty hard and got knocked out¡­ poor girl¡­ sorry¡­ And fighting with Guroot wasn¡¯t that hard¡­ I had to just pull out my sword and slash it¡­ the guy was really too weak¡­ and split in two¡­ but the poison¡­ doesn¡¯t seem to be the type that kills¡­ but I feel my body starting to get heavy. Before I could do anything three or four knights came in and left me no choice but to try to fight them, but it was futile since they ended up beating me hard enough¡­ that I dropped my own blade, damn this poison is making it hard to move¡­. Master¡­ I have failed you¡­ But they didn¡¯t kill us¡­ I know they had planned to do far worse¡­ but when they took us to where their leader was.. I saw a funny sight of men trying to pull their pants back up and a few men killed with a dent in their chest plates¡­. ¡°Wench! Stop right now or your friends will get it!¡± ??? Is that their leader?.... he seems to be well in age and has probably seen many battles¡­. But I am too weak to speak¡­ I want to tell her to run¡­. ¡°Did¡­ you kill the child¡­..¡± Jona Her voice¡­ is so scary¡­ it made me want to shudder in fear¡­. I seen her look at me then at the child¡­ she¡­ seems to have been at the point of snapping¡­ her anger¡­ this anger is something I never seen my cute master ever have¡­ I mean yes she is more reserved when she is not in the vampire form¡­ but the vampire form is the one I like the most¡­ since¡­ of how cute it acts around people¡­ trying to be stronger and above them but still helps people going against what she¡¯s saying. ¡°So what if we did? After all we will teach her body a good time alive or dead.¡± Leader His laugh¡­ is too lustful¡­ really creepy and makes me want to get away¡­ but I can¡¯t run¡­ even if I was able to move I couldn¡¯t leave these children here like this¡­ But Jona snapped when a few men came up to grab her they were instantly cut in half with just the wind pressure coming from her, causing the sparks around her to get more violent making a storm as she slowly grew horns¡­ that are similar to a dragons¡­. An her skin¡­ started to turn a paler white then before¡­ and starting to crackle with that sparks around her with her eyes¡­ her pretty pink eyes turned pure white¡­. She stepped forward with the blood around her forged into a really scary looking launce¡­ it landed in her arms and she vanished and re-appeared behind the people holding us and stabbed them both in the head before moving to the leader¡­ and the force she grabbed his head caused it to have a sick crushing sound¡­ as his eyes popped from the sockets¡­ like busted eggs¡­. She then¡­ just tossed him to a side like yesterdays trash and keep walking towards the other soldiers killing them with a stab here or there¡­. While some of them had their guts gushing out for the slash with the tip of the spear¡­. It took¡­ only about five minutes for all this to happen¡­ maybe less¡­ but I can see¡­ through the crackling light her skin¡­ is bleeding¡­ a lot¡­ and her eyes¡­ seem to be crying tears of blood, before she vanished¡­ and I could hear the booming noise outside¡­ as I was laying against the dead soldier¡­ barely was able to see what she did¡­ But I know¡­ she¡¯s hurting badly¡­ why couldn¡¯t I move? Why couldn¡¯t I help her¡­ when she needs me the most¡­ what was I here for? ¡®Do¡­ you truly wish to save this child?¡¯ Female voice I didn¡¯t even have to think about it¡­ Of course I want to save her¡­ she¡¯s been through enough¡­ if it wasn¡¯t for the need to help these people¡­ to stop this war of the humans¡­ and the undead¡­ to let¡­ children grow up happy¡­ and free¡­ I would trade my life for it¡­ ¡®Very well¡­ I will grant you a portion of my power¡­ I don¡¯t want the Gods to step in because her power¡­ is too strong¡­ it would break the balance of the world if she doesn¡¯t snap out of this¡­. But¡­ I am afraid you may lose one of your senses¡­. Because of the poison¡­ I can remove it¡­ and help you gain temporary power¡­ but¡­ the side effects are beyond me¡­ I am nothing but the fragment of my former self¡­ Isla¡­¡¯ Isla Isn¡¯t she¡­ the Queen of flames¡­.? I had a glowing light hit me¡­ a warm loving light of a mother and giving me the power to move¡­ and the poison vanished¡­. But as to what I have lost¡­ I have no idea¡­ Standing up while looking at the now bloodied Kira¡­ she really doesn¡¯t seem to be breathing¡­. At a closer look¡­ there seems to be a blight mark at the base of her neck¡­. I have a choice¡­ to save her¡­ it would take some time¡­ or to stop Jona¡­ my master¡­ Chapter 18 Over Limit Part 2 {POV: Nimue} It is better to save Kira since her life is in danger. if I did not¡­ and if another blight mark would to appear¡­ I wouldn¡¯t have a way to save them, due to the cost for my magic¡­.. I can only rely on nature¡­ the holy magic that removes this, I am unable to use right now¡­ but I have stones, that my father has given me since I left my own kingdom. Taking out a clear stone with a moon and a cross in front of it¡­ my family crest¡­ Crushing the stone with the crest floating in the air, a purification spell automatically starts casting in a small area around me really only affecting me and Kira. This whole process only took about an hour¡­ it was quicker to cast the spell through the stone, but for it to work on the body to remove the Blight mark from her it took a long time to do so. I have to see how my master is doing¡­ I got up then called for help from the earth spirits and built a golem of wood and stone to protect Kira just in case something happens¡­ with the worst case being the golem using the teleportation stones I am currently embedding in it and it would take Kira to my home¡­ where I know she¡¯ll be safe. On the way outside the walls, I was on constant guard with my sword in hand¡­. I was lucky the one that captured me had it¡­ it would have been hard to explain if my magic sword ended up being stolen. My mother would kill me¡­ I continue on, thinking I would need to help master heal.. when I ran out¡­ I couldn¡¯t believe what I had seen. There were mountain piles of bodies¡­ all torn over the place¡­ I can see over half of them killed each other¡­ but the rest are either¡­ dead or gone insane, only raving about something about a demon¡­ yet¡­ master is nowhere to be seen¡­.. Only this path of carnage¡­ that sweet girl¡­ she really has lost it¡­ I know her clan had berserker tendencies, but I never thought she¡¯d be so emotionally vulnerable¡­ If she¡¯s not found soon¡­ with the damage I am sure she has¡­ I am not sure¡­ what could happen. If she keeps going down this road, it would only bring her own death¡­ she couldn¡¯t of gotten too far¡­ hopefully I can find her¡­ even though my nature magic isn¡¯t strong as I haven¡¯t practiced it too much¡­ I like to fight like a knight and with my sword more. {POV: Jona} After I finally came too¡­ I was lying in the middle of a forest with dead soldiers that seemed like they tried to run¡­ However¡­ I do not seem to be in the vampire form anymore¡­ that form is a curse¡­. All the things I have done¡­ I couldn¡¯t stop myself from laughing at myself¡­ as I never really have been good with people¡­ and my other side¡­ is too much of an asshole¡­ hell even tried to act in front of Nimue and the rest without being an ass¡­ Honestly, I have never been good at emotions¡­ I try my best to seal them because of the trouble they bring¡­Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. I even tried to respond in a way I thought they would like¡­ but my vampire side¡­ seems to ruin everything¡­ Hell, I only remember seeing them being hurt¡­ and by the looks of these mangled corpses¡­ I have been out cold for a few days, give or take¡­. Also, my whole body is so sore¡­ I must have snapped and used the fusion to force the ¡®Dragon Ascension¡¯ Adding on to that¡­ now my spiritual energy is under ten¡­ it must have been used to heal me in replace for the blood¡­ And my Dragon Knight class seems to be locked¡­ Just like in the game¡­ if you force the dragon to fuse instead of it being willing¡­ the class itself would be pretty much useless for a week of in game time¡­ which was about a few days, 5 to 10 days¡­ but it will probably be locked for a week. I can equip it¡­ but it would be the same as a normal Knight class. I know that I should probably find Nimue¡­ but this forest¡­. I have no idea which way is which¡­ Believe it or not, I was never really good at directions¡­ if I didn¡¯t have a map or instructions on where to go¡­ the most I can do is guess by the sun or moon¡­ but¡­ if I have no idea where I am or how I got there¡­ I am no different than a sparated child that got lost in a mall¡­ Without Nimue and Kira around, I feel like it¡¯s gone back to my days before I got here¡­ where I was alone even if I had people around me, not that¡­ it bothers me, it did still feel nice to have company even if Nimue¡­ is weird, and Kira just is like any other child. I guess I could only do one thing¡­.. ¡°Such a pain¡­ it is hard to see the sun¡­.¡± Jona. Talking to myself¡­ not like I expect anyone to answer¡­. ¡®I am here you know¡­ no need to be upset.¡¯ Rose. ¡°Yeah¡­ ahaha¡­ but if I didn¡¯t lose it maybe¡­ I wouldn¡¯t be so¡­¡± Jona I know emotions are my worst fear¡­ I have had lost it way too many times since I got here, and being the way I am, I really shouldn¡¯t use vampire form anymore¡­ it causes to much trouble for my liking. ¡®Not really¡­ you are the one struggling to understand your own emotions since you rarely used them¡­ so your anger is a bit more explosive than most¡­.¡¯ Rose. ¡°And I am not really upset¡­ just hating my emotions.¡± Jona. Sigh¡­ really guess I am? But it doesn¡¯t matter. I have no idea when I started to be more or less, well, like I was and it isn¡¯t the real me¡­. Even if the vampire side brings out another side of me, it¡¯s really hard to say if it¡¯s real or not. Even when talking like this, I slowly continue on in the direction of the sun, though it seems to be beginning to rise¡­ luckily there was a small clearing that will let me see it. In this forest, I was beginning to swear the sun was hiding from me. Sighing again as I walk down the rocky path in this forest, and every so often taking breaks to lean against a tree because of how sore my body is¡­ and the backlash¡­ it will last probably another two days¡­ But will I last with no food at all? My health is only at two hundred¡­ and my stats are lowered due to the back lash¡­ I didn¡¯t even feel this weak in my old body, but it¡¯s proper because I didn¡¯t follow what needed to be done. All I know is that in order to avoid anything like happened today, I need to seal my emotions back and not let them out the best of my ability¡­ or next time¡­. I might hurt people I¡¯d regret hurting. Then I heard a sudden growl from my right¡­ though when I looked it just was a towering boar that seemed to have more than two eyes¡­ and was the approximate size of a house with a bunch of trees lying down beside it. How¡­ did I miss it? The reason being it is sleeping? But if I wake it up, I¡¯ll be as good as dead¡­. Moving slowly as to not wake it up¡­ but the problem with that¡­ is my body is already in a weakened state¡­ so while putting all my concentration to it, I kind of¡­ didn¡¯t realize there were some sticks in the grass I didn¡¯t see and when I put my foot down the stick snapped¡­ Slowly moving my head to look at it in the eyes¡­ it was opened¡­ at least one of them¡­ So I did the next best thing; I decided to run to the best of my ability, though in my weakened state I was able to at least run a little distance, but I shouldn¡¯t have looked back¡­when I did, it was right behind me, but that wasn¡¯t the problem¡­ I didn¡¯t see that there was a hole in the ground and of course I ended up running into it. I dropped down into the small hole, nearly breaking my legs from the long drop¡­ but luckily the boar didn¡¯t try to dig up the hole to follow¡­ but I got an uneasy feeling being down here is worse than taking my chances up there¡­ Chapter 19 Cave Part 1 {POV: Jona} I feel so sore¡­ but I can at least equip medic as my secondary for a little while to allow better healing abilities¡­ though I have really low spiritual power¡­ It is rather annoying that all my abilities almost require spiritual power it¡¯s like I am not natural to these abilities. Maybe I can add more mana¡­ for the lack of spiritual power? I casted heal on my legs by keeping an image in my mind and strongly thinking of not using spiritual power, though the results worked¡­. It took twice as much mana then a normal simple heal¡­ Though it did heal my legs and minor wounds, from the battle before even with my spiritual power using its healing capability I still have some deep cuts on my body, though it isn¡¯t fatal, I will still need to pull out bandages¡­.. I am so happy Amanda gave me medical supplies¡­ even though they aren¡¯t many disinfectants and such. She did give me a lot of bandages which made it easier for me to bandage the wounds up after taking off the clothes¡­. But¡­ my bad luck is¡­ it seems once it was removed¡­ it all went back to blood and was sucked into the red gems in the earrings¡­ I tried to re make them, but it seems even blood magic is not available in my weakened state¡­ I mean it was minor without that cursed vampire form. It is even weaker now cause of all my stats, even my heal took a lot out of me to use, but at least I can walk¡­ but if it came to a fight it would be a problem¡­ What I need is something with high defense¡­ and stat bonus¡­ I wonder if my good armors or clothes from my games came over. I admit¡­ like some gamers guys I have played games with female characters, some where the classes are gender locked¡­. And some just because I didn¡¯t care about the males since they all looked rather bland¡­ For the most part I played male characters, but my female characters¡­ I made sure to make them look good in their armors and even used money on the looks¡­ way more than the males. Most of the bought ones I got gave minor bonuses such as exp and things of that nature, though what I am looking at now makes me want to go back in time and bash my previous self in the face¡­. Yes it was good armor¡­ but the looks of it only seems to guard vital spots, though I admit my character in the game did look good in it, the only problem is¡­ why me? I know I have adapted quite well to female clothes and this body¡­ but at least for the most part I was mostly covered¡­ and¡­ my clothes I came here with is dirty¡­ Yes it might have some magic features that I didn¡¯t know to that old blacksmith told me, but even when I was a guy I made sure to always put on clean clothes¡­ I admit I haven¡¯t had much time here to do so¡­ or kind of forgot¡­ but now that I am changing¡­ This cave gives me a bad vibe¡­ really bad¡­ I could try the Knight¡¯s armor I have¡­ from being a Dragon Knight or Challenger. Dragon Knight seems to be locked right now¡­ but I wonder if the armor is useful¡­ I mean I guess wearing too much armor would end badly cause of not being able to move silently¡­ But the challenger¡­. Really mostly gauntlets, chest plate, shoulder pads, waist armor that is linked with a belt and silk like cloth¡­ that turns into a skirt, and leather boots that are just below the knees with armor padding in the front of the boots with straps around the back that go up to cover my knees¡­ but as far as that goes it just guards my legs and front of my knees¡­ While I am pretty much bandaged up like a mummy¡­ ugh so many cuts¡­ I really didn¡¯t pay any attention to defense at all¡­ Just makes me shiver thinking of how dumb I get when I lose it¡­ like some mad beast not caring for living¡­ and just wants to kill¡­ Well I guess I could¡­ use the tamers¡­ silk shirt¡­ but it¡¯s more like a vest with golden lace on it¡­ and again¡­ why did all my characters have to have to have either dresses or skirts¡­.? And the pants of my males characters¡­ really doubt they would fit my current form¡­ I am just happy the armors fit¡­ but¡­ somehow I get the feeling the Dragon Knight¡¯s armor¡­ wouldn¡¯t fit too I get taller¡­ Looking at the underwear Amanda packed for me¡­ made me cringe¡­ why she had to always go pink¡­ After getting dressed¡­ though luckily I had a habit of dying my clothes/armor all the same color combinations... I didn¡¯t expect that it would come in handy here, the shirt from tamer¡­ is dark red with golden trim with black tribal lines going through it like vines, while the armor plate is black with red outlining it like trim would be and golden flames covering it like a vinyl design. Yes it seems ironic that I am supposedly part of the Flame Clan¡­ but the Challenger¡­ gear let you design your own vinyl out of a preset¡­ and the best one out of it was flames to me. Though this armor does give me some boost to defense, health and agility¡­ it¡¯s barely enough to let me move unhindered, if I was to still come across a fight, even a weak bandit could probably be a problem to me¡­ Taking out the dragon katana... yeah that¡¯s the name I gave it¡­. And switching Medic for Hunter simply because of its abilities would let me know the presence of threats around me¡­ though in here it is probably useless¡­. Since it¡¯s a passive here¡­ but it¡¯s more or less giving me constant warnings in my head that this place is dangerous¡­ I already knew that¡­ Strapping the katana to my waist, with Braver and Hunter¡­ at least I can somewhat hide easier¡­ hopefully, since Braver if I use it¡­ luckily it is one of the few classes that doesn¡¯t need spiritual energy if I don¡¯t use the power up stances of it¡­ though¡­ sadly I say power up stances they really just minor¡­ and mostly boots my weapon sharpness and my agility¡­ this stance is really the only useful one to me¡­ as the others eat my health¡­ slowly¡­ without Nimue it would be suicide. ¡°Welcome¡± ??? I turned around slowly, luckily my calm mind didn¡¯t let me panic cause if I move to fast even with the bonuses from this armor¡­ even if it is not high I would have wasted the bandages¡­ But what I saw was just a ball of rock? With a light core coming in the center where an opening is¡­ is that its eye?This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Yes¡­ I seen Si-Fi stuff, but this isn¡¯t any machine that you¡¯d think it would be¡­ It really is just a round smooth rock, not metal or anything¡­ as interesting as it is¡­ I am disappointed¡­ While I was giving it a blank look¡­ I guess if I seen myself in a mirror¡­ I would probably see a minor frown¡­. It decided to continue. ¡°This is a cave of the Beast Queen of Flame, if you wish to have her power; you must be of the Flame royal family. If you are not she will kill you as an offering to try to revive herself. That is if you could get past the guardians of this cave that were sent here to keep the secrets of the Flame Clan from falling into the wrong hands, and to stop the Flame Clan from gaining too much influence. I am just an earth spirit tasked to guarding this cave¡­ and waiting the revival of my master or to serve the next royal member of Flames.¡± Rock ¡­ let¡¯s just call you Rock¡­ so annoying¡­ why does this world keep sending or forcing this ¡®Flame¡¯ crap on me¡­ ¡°¡­.¡± Jona ¡°Any questions?¡± Rock ¡°Why¡­¡± Jona ¡°?? Why what?¡± Rock ¡°Why¡­ does the Flame clan¡­¡± Jona Why does it irritate me so much when it is Flame Clan this or that¡­ I really hate it¡­ being part of a family? Pfft¡­ don¡¯t make me laugh. Being part of a clan? Isn¡¯t that the same as a useless family? Why would I be so stupid¡­ I let Nimue and Kira get close and look what happened? I listened to what they wanted cause I wanted to make them happy¡­ and look where that got me¡­ so annoying¡­ ¡®Jona, you care for them, well maybe not the Flame Clan¡­ but you care for Nimue and Kira.¡¯ Rose And that is why it annoys me, to care for others is not how I came to be in my old life, I only lived to follow a promise. To survive isn¡¯t to rely on others but you, my family was useless, and if I wasn¡¯t there they would have all been on the street or in jail. To me they were a means to an end, to get things I wanted by just using them, even the abuse was understandable, since I used my own mother to get out of annoying cases by coning her into thinking it was what she wanted. It got people off my back, even friends in my old life was just tools to me. ¡®But that¡¯s not how you wanted it to be, and not how you are now, you seem to just be too dense to realize it.¡¯ Rose Probably so¡­ but I guess life being annoying is the way it usually is. ¡®¡­ You¡¯re too weird.¡¯ Rose ¡°Flame Clan was a race that came from a destroyed planet. Cause of their wars were on a high scale in one of them they made the planet un able to hold life, so they decided to make ships that was sent out in total of five ships one had crashed here and they decided to make their own kingdom here without influencing the world with their creations, but only created things such as myself which can be explained by magic, they used their knowledge to give me a simple spirit a body as I am now, though it isn¡¯t that strong compared to the mindless weapons they made. For people of this world they would be called Golems that have no master that was similar to how golems in dungeons are, just with an aim to kill all that ran into its domain, but they won¡¯t harm each other, only monsters, animals, or the other races will become a target. So like myself I am not a target for them, they were tasked by the Gods to keep people away¡­ only the Flame clan members can draw the power without bringing back the Queen, since this clan caused a great change in this world, the gods don¡¯t want or would allow them to be revived to cause a bigger change, though the Flame Clan didn¡¯t bring all of their knowledge into this world. It did change just from their presence such as their ship¡­ and the ability to make things float. Before it was only the Sky kingdom that had this ability, and it was on the verge of falling, but the Flame Clan used their knowledge to save the kingdom, and stopped the God of chaos¡¯s fun. Each flame clan member has a different upbringing then others, since birth they have an angelic side inside them talking and guiding them, while the dusk maidens are born differently this only happens in the royal family, they have a darker side inside them helping them. The dusk maidens are basically the magically made twin of the angelic and true Flame royalty. And on the thirteenth birthday they go through a process of fusing, the angelic side, is fused with the demonic side to make the true princess, though this process has many failures, they have at most cases use an outside force with the same wave length as the demon side, but have the compatibility of the angelic side. This also caused the gods that loves humans, angels, elves, and demons to be angered since they are being used as simple materials to finish making the dusk princess. Some cases once it¡¯s done the one they used with the high compatibility is the one in charge of the body, in most cases this is actually what happens at the start, then over time however they either go to the dusk side or dark side of high compatibility. The ones that went to the angelic side are hailed as the princesses of the kingdom, the ones that went to the dusk, would be treated as soldiers of war, and not having an easy life like the angelic side would have. But in cases of the few that were compatible with both and keep both sides by the time they were sixteen they would be considered the heir of the whole kingdom, since the emperor and empress can be only people that can host both the dark and the good side. Their kingdom had five kings and queens, one of each race, usually when one turns sixteen they would pick one race and stick with it since it feels closer to their true self. They can still change to other races of their abilities, but would usually stick to just one. And each had their own land inside the kingdom similar to how nobles here work they had taken their place in this kingdom. In most cases after fusion, the Angelic side will guide the princess as far as they can, though the dark side will usually not cause a problem, but would influence their anger to a point of uncontrollable, and then at one point let their mind go into a despair to the point the dark side wins. This being said the females are the only ones that have this hard, since for some reason or another the males of the race are born with both sides inside them, they have to only fight and control either side, but outside of royalty the male race will only have been born with one side, even if they have both the minor side is not enough to even be considered a side.¡± Rock Did¡­ it think I wanted to know about the Flame clan? Wait angelic side? Dusk side? Demonic? If that¡¯s the case then Rose¡­ is the angelic side? ¡®Bingo I have just recently figured it out myself¡­.¡¯ Rose So¡­ the dark¡­ dusk side? ¡®Been fighting it¡­ for you¡¯ Rose Ah¡­ let¡¯s not call it ¡®it¡¯ I rather treat it as part of myself¡­ even as frustrating as it is¡­ and it is also the cause of my black outs¡­ but the rage is still on me not her. So let¡¯s just call her Kuro? I mean¡­ bad naming sense but at least it would feel better to treat her as another persona¡­ since I know I have one voice in my head¡­ what¡¯s another? ¡®You¡¯re really something, you know?¡¯ Rose I could¡­ swear I heard her sigh at me¡­ ¡®You¡­ gave me a name¡­¡¯ Kuro? I think¡­ that is Kuro? Sounds more machine then anything¡­ ¡®Why did you?¡¯ Kuro Cause rose has one wouldn¡¯t be talking about you or to you be easier, really¡­ it¡¯s just to be easier on me then calling a part of myself ¡®it¡¯ all the time¡­ or dark side¡­ She went silent and stopped talking to me which means she might have not liked it¡­ ¡®Jona I think she just does that on her own¡­ even during fighting her she would randomly just vanish¡­¡¯ Rose Well I know better now¡­ but not like I care for this old Flame clan or its kingdom, I mean it¡¯s their fault it failed and angered a power they shouldn¡¯t have. ¡®Just tell this thing you¡¯re a Flame Princess, it might lead us to the exit¡¯ Rose I guess¡­ ¡°I am a Flame Princess¡­¡± Jona ¡­ Even saying it irritates me somehow¡­ ¡°Confirmed, I will lead you to the chamber¡± Rock Not questioning it? Well it did say it could go through the golem things it said without any issues¡­ ¡°I detect abnormal health problem, do you wish accesses to the Queens foundry?¡± Rock ¡°¡­ Yes?¡± Jona ¡°Confirmed¡± Rock As it was leading me in one direction after asking if I wanted to go to the foundry it changed¡­ this cave¡­ is it actually a dungeon? On the way I seen a golem blocking the path¡­ unlike the ones I seen in games this one is pretty humanoid¡­ I mean even the shape is about the size of a seven foot male only made of rock with metal joints that intersect like bones or maybe something like muscles on it. Its head though¡­ is the same as Rock only instead of a big hole there is just a small one in the center. Chapter 20 Cave Part 2 As it is unmoving, while Rock keeps moving forward I follow slowly on guard, it somehow seems to not move¡­ once Rock turns a corner a little ways away from it I turn to follow¡­ keeping my left eye on the golem wondering why it didn¡¯t try to kill me¡­ ¡°That is a Guard golem it won¡¯t attack unless you head towards the Queens chamber.¡± Rock Oh¡­ speaking as if he knew what I was thinking¡­. ¡°We are here, though not sure how much of it is left you can take the blood that¡¯s in here, it we can heal your body, though I suggest to not touch any of the weapons or gear to you got the Queens power. Cause it would cause the Guard Golems to find you as a thief and threat.¡± Rock The armory¡­ in here is mostly just a bunch of different exotic armors and weapons¡­ the armors I would never wear¡­ it¡¯s even less then the plate armor I have on now¡­ is this some swim suit armor? Anyhow¡­ even in games I never understood that concept. While finding blood that seemed to be in a frozen box¡­ most of it seemed good¡­ but blood from the unwilling¡­.. ¡°Will it really heal me?¡± Jona ¡°No need to worry, the blood was donated willingly to the Queen, thus anyone of the Flame clan were to drink it would also gain the healing fact, since it is donated willingly.¡± Rock Looking at it¡­ it seems that it would partially heal me? At most give me half of my spiritual power back¡­ but even with it back if my wounds aren¡¯t healed¡­ it would just¡­ keep slowly being used. Taking a sip of the blood just to make sure¡­ in case it was meant to kill me I don¡¯t want too much of it in me¡­ I am sure I could heal a little bit of it, but if it was a lot¡­. While this sip seemed to have higher effect then Nimue¡¯s blood¡­ must be because it is extremely willing maybe from a lover? ¡°How¡­ does it work?¡± Jona ¡°Blood from a willing donor such as a friend will have minor concept of healing, but if it was donated with the feeling of what¡­ you living beings call ¡®Love¡¯ it will have a higher compatibility, even if you were to drink it, it was still donated with the feelings inside it¡­. means the donor put more of their mana and spiritual power in their blood without them realizing it.¡± Rock I see¡­ While drinking one of them I was able to get more than fifty percent of my spiritual power back. I put the rest of the five potions inside my item box¡­ probably need to get a bag to put them in since in combat it would be impossible to take them out¡­ ¡®No¡­ I just didn¡¯t want you to use¡­ that sword¡¯ Kuro What? Why? ¡®Because that sword is annoying, and to draw a weapon like that in front of your enemies is dumb, it takes time to draw it out¡­ potions can be quickly taken out, but if you had taken the time to draw that blade¡­ with your skills the undead would of killed you back then.¡¯ Kuro She seemed to say that and vanish again¡­ unlike Rose I can¡¯t feel her presence inside me¡­ only when she decides to talk do I feel her¡­ But somehow I have a feeling she¡¯s¡­ pretty mean¡­ and she seems to become more active when I used the vamp form¡­ not sure how long she was there before¡­ but maybe¡­ that¡¯s the reason my personality¡­ changes so much? I admit¡­ that¡¯s probably the real me deep down¡­ but it¡¯s not the best outcome¡­ I prefer to just keep things to myself. I know my health isn¡¯t fully recovered¡­ and I am still in a weakened state, but I feel I can somewhat hold my own¡­ or at least run away from strong monsters or people. And now that I know hunter is useless¡­ it didn¡¯t even let me know Rock was there¡­ all I got was annoying ringing sounds in my head all the time I am down here¡­ I know it¡¯s dangerous¡­ so I switched it to Kunoichi since it would be easier to sneak around¡­ hopefully. But this stop seems to me just like they didn¡¯t want me to start to the Queens Chamber half dead¡­ But blood from someone that loves me¡­. That is really laughable, to me I have never really had that, yes I got a feeling I get more healing then just the minor then just friendship from Nimue and Kira¡­ and I got a feeling they love me¡­ but they are not as good as¡­ this¡­ so I am really not understanding what Rock meant¡­ ¡°You will have to fight, run, or die from here on out.¡± Rock ¡­. ¡°You know I can guide you, but I am not a life form that cares for your well being, in order to get to the chamber, you most fight the two guards¡± Rock ¡­. Really, well nothing in life is easy I suppose¡­ ¡°Ready¡­¡± Jona It started moving again as it went past the Golem to the other side and turned and waited for me¡­. I walked up to the golem and this time it seemed to awaken and look at me. ¡°State your purpose¡± Golem ¡°To go past you¡± Jona ¡°Then you most past my test.¡± Golem Test? I couldn¡¯t help but tilt my head in confusion watching the golem while my hands are on my katana ready to fight. ¡°I will start now¡± Golem The next thing I knew was a lot of pressure placed on me making me kneel to the ground, and making my bones to make crackling sounds as I am trying to get back up, luckily the golem isn¡¯t moving but just watching me. Everything went black the next minute and I was in front of my old school in my old life¡­ ¡°Idiot, who told you to get high scores in class, you broke the curve¡­ if you had just had scored lower all of us would of made a passing grade¡± Boy A The next boy beside him punched me in the face sending me to the ground, while another kicked me in the gut with force to make me roll a bit while holding my side¡­ This should be a memory¡­ but why am I still in female form¡­. ¡°A bitch like you should just make everything easier on us¡­¡± Boy CThe author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°Yeah, you can relieve our stress~¡± Boy A ¡°With her are you disgusted by that? The word is she has been around a lot¡­ who knows what she has¡± Boy B Ah¡­ I remember now¡­ it was a girl in my past, that had bad things spread about her just cause of how her mother worked, and I passed by it without offering my help¡­ and she called me a friend¡­ But why am I living her part? ¡°So what, that just means she has more experience~¡± Boy A Then at the corner of my eye I seen her, though I look the same as Jona, she is there and when she looked our direction she just keep going without bothering to help¡­ just like I did. Is this supposed to make me sad or something like regret for not helping her? I do kind of regret it because she killed herself after¡­ but it was her fault¡­ no that is what I just told myself, she was a good girl that didn¡¯t deserve anything done to her. The boy C tried to kick me but this time I grabbed his leg and lifted it whole using my left foot to hit the back of his knee and watched him fall backwards into the Boy B behind him making him to lose footing and falling together. ¡°Beat it; I got better things to do¡± Jona While they were all stunned I ran after the way she went¡­ I don¡¯t know if I can still be considered her friend, but maybe this is a way to pass¡­ this test¡­ so annoying¡­ Finding her setting on the ledge of a bridge with a pretty far drop¡­ crying¡­ ¡°Sorry¡­¡± Jona ¡°For letting me die?¡± Girl ¡°For not being a true friend¡± Jona ¡°I was never your friend. You just hung around me because I was useful to get you from class to class¡± Girl ¡°I didn¡¯t need your help for classes¡­ the teachers were stupid¡± Jona ¡°You didn¡¯t treat anyone nicely, always sealed heart away¡± Girl ¡°¡­¡± Jona ¡°And when someone tried to get close you distanced yourself. Even¡­ when I confessed to you, you never let your heart open, you even rejected me, even though I knew you cared, you didn¡¯t let yourself¡± Girl ¡°¡­¡± Jona ¡°you always gave a blank face void of emotions¡­ even though we knew you¡­ even though I loved you, you let me die alone¡­ didn¡¯t even help me, and now you are sorry? Just look at yourself! You¡¯re now a girl! Even now I still love you, and never blamed you! So why be sorry! Just say how you truly feel!¡± Girl ¡­. I have no idea¡­ how I feel¡­ or maybe I do¡­ I had always regretted somehow deep down¡­ but this is just a test¡­ it isn¡¯t real¡­ so I guess¡­ telling the truth won¡¯t be¡­ a problem? ¡°I do regret not saving you, and regret turning you down¡­ and not helping to solve the rumors about you that I knew were false¡­ I do love you always had¡­ but in my life, I couldn¡¯t afford love¡­ you would have been better with someone else, my family would have hurt you and I couldn¡¯t protect you from them¡­¡± Jona She smiled at me and started vanishing like this world¡­ ¡°We¡¯ll¡­ meet again¡­ and you can tell me at that time¡­¡± Girl I was back in front of the golem, staring at it with hatred in my mind while my poker face was still active¡­ it¡¯s an old habit¡­ to the point it¡¯s hard to let my actual expressions come out¡­ ¡°You have seemed to pass¡­.¡± Golem It moved out of the way and let me pass¡­ didn¡¯t Rock said I would have to fight, run or die? Nothing about tests¡­ but I guess if I had failed it would try to kill me¡­ Going along the path Rock is leading me we came up to a big door with another golem in front of me about the same as the one before only this one had a sword and shield equipped to it, but before I could get even close to it vanished¡­ and somehow I had a bad feeling that something was behind me so I jumped forward with a roll and moments later a blade crashed into the ground where I was standing¡­ It didn¡¯t talk like the previous one¡­ it most of been just said for set lines¡­ and probably said that to everyone, this one is probably meant to see if anyone is strong enough to earn whatever the queens power is¡­ not that I care I just want an exit¡­ Drawing my katana, and getting in a combat stance with it out in front of me, it charged at me this time not vanishing but still running very fast¡­ I blocked it¡¯s swing with my katana, but the impact alone knocked me back a few steps and it keep swinging it¡¯s sword over and over again leaving me no choice but to defend¡­ My hands are going numb from all the impacts¡­ aren¡¯t golems suppose to be slow¡­? I mean it¡¯s not that smart¡­ probably programmed just to fight in this way, since it¡¯s predictable¡­ but even if I can predict it I can only defend cause if I get hit once I¡¯ll die¡­ This has to end somehow¡­ I started using Ghost step to keep up with its movements making it easier for me to dodge its slashes¡­ but at this rate I will tire out... Using the ghost step to get me some distance I decided to try {Wind Slash} to shoot a blade of wind or¡­ I guess its chakra¡­ this is basically a mix of my mana and spiritual power mixed into one causing small cuts on the golem. Black spirit¡­ might be a good skill to use? Though calm mind is probably similar¡­ to it¡­, but when I used it¡­ it wasn¡¯t the same, it didn¡¯t control my emotions or anything of that matter, it just made my body temp lower, like I had been made of ice, though my body has seemed to be able to move more as if the weakened state is gone? Nah¡­ I think this black spirit move just removes the limits on a normal body¡­ making it closer to the dead, since it is needed before {Dance of the Dead} can be used¡­ Though the time limit of this skill is only a minute, it lets me use my dance to eventually cut up the golem, though¡­ every cut is like only chipping small parts off not enough to really slow it down¡­ From its legs, chest, and even arms have all been chipped all over, it wouldn¡¯t let me get close to its head it would auto dodge or block it with the free hand. But¡­ I am still fighting it after the minute is up from black spirit, and my body shivers on its own as it is warming up from being cooled down to that degree making it harder to grip my handle of my katana leaving me no choice to slash the blade at the head of the golem as a feint and it went to block it¡­ of course¡­ it¡¯s only programmed to defend its face leaving a blind spot for me to follow to get behind it and use {Fatal Wind} with the martial arts I learned making wind wrap around my fist as it goes through the head of the golem¡­ I really didn¡¯t think this through¡­.. The golem then dies and falls over on top of me causing a great deal of pain¡­ It took me about thirty minutes to get it off me¡­ being bruised black and blue¡­ and the weakened state is back¡­ only with all the shivering I get it feels like it¡¯s worse¡­ Walking to the door without waiting on Rock I pushed it open to find a beautiful shiny red gem shard in the middle of the room with an projection of a lady beastmen in a fox form with nine tails¡­. Really, a fox¡­? I would prefer a cat¡­ ¡°You are the first to make it through¡­¡± Fox lady ¡°¡­¡± Jona ¡°You shall take the stone and see if my power is passable to you.¡± Fox lady She then motioned me to grab it, so with a bit of wariness I picked up the stone, but the stone glowed red brightly and then vanished into my hand¡­ causing a great deal of pain¡­ But it subsided very fast... then a pop up showed up
You have earned the Class: Summoner Summons: Rock Spirit, Fox Spirit, White Dragon. Rock Spirit: Rock, lv 1 {non-combat} Fox Spirit: No Name, lv 1 {Scout} White Dragon: Seir, Lv 40 {Tank/Healer} {Warning: Unwise to summon}
So¡­ rock is now mine? And the fox spirit?.... don¡¯t tell me¡­. When I looked over to the fox lady she nodded and then kneeled before me¡­ ¡°My master, though I am but a fragment of the former Queen, and only has minor knowledge , and has no combat ability I can assure you I can scout out areas without being seen, what shall be my name?¡± Fox Spirit ¡°What was the Queen¡¯s name?¡± Jona ¡°Tama¡± Fox spirit ¡°Then your name is Tama¡± Jona ¡°Understood¡± Tama ¡°for now if you go into the magic circle to the right you can go back to the surface, just outside of the forest. Anyhow we need rest so we will go into the summoned space to called¡­ we been out too many years and are out of energy a day longer and we would of vanished¡± Tama Then Tama and Rock simply vanished¡­. Most likely to summon them again I would have to change classes¡­ and will never summon Seir¡­ that is my dragon for Dragon Knight¡­ most likely he still hates me. While looking around for anything useful, I came across a few books of magic¡­ not sure about what but I¡¯ll look at them later as I stashed them into my item box, maybe some unknown magic? Or an ability to make a body for Rose¡­ Kuro seems like the type that would prefer to not bother with much¡­ or care¡­ When I went out of the forest through the portal was pushed to the ground with a very fast pace speed¡­ ¡°Jona¡­ you¡¯re alive¡­.!¡± Nimue Ah¡­ she didn¡¯t have to crush me into this rocky ground¡­ but she¡¯s crying so hard I couldn¡¯t complain¡­ I must have worried her too much¡­ ¡°where¡­ is Kira¡­¡± Jona I know it¡¯s bad to stop her happy moment¡­ but¡­ ¡°She¡¯s at my house, I took her there¡­ it has been four days! So after the first day¡­ of looking I took her home so I could look more freely¡­¡± Nimue Now that I take a better look at her she seems slimmer, and bags under her eyes.. ¡°Sorry¡­ I won¡¯t run off like that again¡­¡± Jona Thank goodness¡­ they are both alive¡­ Then the next thing I knew she hit me in the head with her chest plate with a crushing painful hug¡­ and took out a gem and everything went white for a moment, then I was in a room with an old man rushing towards us and Kira right behind him. ¡°She.. has a blight mark!¡± Nimue She seemed like she¡¯s like she¡¯s panicking? Then I fainted because of how tired I have been¡­. Most because of my weakened state after using Dragon Knight on top of being with someone I trust¡­ Chapter 20.5 Search {POV: Nimue} After not being able to find my master Jona anywhere in the aftermath, I decided before the day was over to teleport myself and Kira to my home in the Sky kingdom¡­. I used my magic to activate the gems inside the golem while sitting on it to pat Kira¡¯s head. she has not been in the best of moods after waking up and finding that Jona is gone¡­ this girl is really attached to her¡­ ¡°So, your back?¡± ??? An old man in a very expensive looking robe walked up to me since I am sure he sensed the magic activating from the magic circle below our feet that was attached and with the magic stones we were able to connect to this place¡­ ¡°I will tell you all about it later father, first I need to have my dear friend here taken care of¡­ and I have to go back out and look for my master¡­ she saved us but she has seemed to have vanished¡­ and I am worried.¡± Nimue. Bowing to my father while the golem puts Kira down and turning back to the earth because of the magic was used in the teleportation¡­ luckily I can use the golems like mana tanks¡­ but once the mana is gone they are also unable to keep their forms. ¡°Understood, but first let¡¯s get both of your wounds looked at.¡± Father. ¡°I¡­.¡± Nimue. ¡°I will not takeno for an answer.¡± Father. He had stated then moved his hand up in the air and the maids came forward to take us to a private room for us to bathe and have our wounds healed¡­. I really don¡¯t have the time for this¡­ After a few hours, I told my father to take care of Kira¡­ and I see her as family, and he smiled a fatherly smile and said he would treat her like a princess. Getting restocked with plenty of stones¡­ unfortunately they didn¡¯t have time to make the ones to purify blight and other curses since the holy mages here have been working hard on saving children of other nations¡­. The nations of humans to be more accurate, because they seem to not care for the small villages¡­ my kingdom decides to slowly win more land by earning the villagers trust and then turning it into our land¡­ even if it is really owned by the kingdoms in each nation with our backing they can turn against their nations and join ours. This has been going on behind the scenes a lot lately. Thanks to all the wars that has been going on due to humans, specially the human kingdom of Sinas¡­ they treat all non-humans as trash. We decide to slowly take over, but it is difficult with the war between the humans versus the other races and then the undead trying to kill more without caring for race¡­ but this has been pushing the blame onto the Demon kingdom despite the demon kingdom actually being quite remote and peaceful compared to the humans. Anyhow while thinking to myself¡­ I came across a demon walking along the forest seemingly heading to the beast capital, though I say demon¡­ it can really be any other race, but his beautiful girly looks with nice tan skin and long hair¡­ wait? Is he a guy or a girl? He seems to be skilled so it¡¯s probably best not to be an enemy of his¡­ specially the girl beside him¡­ gives me a weird feeling. She has solid black hair and black eyes, with strange clothing on, though it is well covered, I never seen materials like that. It¡¯s more like someone made with metals that seem very bendable. Even when I was able to deal with my mother¡­ that took all sorts of weird books she called ¡®manga¡¯ from the archives of the Flame Clan¡­ Yes, after the war, the archives were strangely not destroyed but my mother decided to take it all for herself¡­ Anyway, the girl here, I never seen even the Flame clan to have such armor¡­ and there is even some sort of black lines with numbers under her right eye¡­ The only thing I can make sense of is the straps around her boots, stockings , waist, arms, and neck¡­ long with the weirdly, bulky red gauntlets that has holes around the wrist area like they are meant to shoot out bolts? Maybe some strange bow creation¡­ I really haven¡¯t read any of the ¡®manga¡¯ my mother took, but I seen her showing me different scenes and such¡­ mostly romantic ones? Well it wasn¡¯t as interesting as the history books that were in the library of Flames, like how they built their kingdom, their martial arts¡­ and such like that. They seemed like they been here awhile? Maybe I can ask them if they seen Jona¡­ ¡°U-um excuse me.¡± Nimue. Walking up to them seeing if they could be of any help to me¡­ I hope so, but the looks of them they probably don¡¯t care too much about strangers. Especially when they seemed surprised I even talked to them?A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. ¡°Yes?¡± Male voice. So¡­ he is really a male¡­ but he looks like a girl at face value, with a closer look to him, makes him able to be passed off as a girl¡­ with the hair color being dark aqua, while his eyes seem to be closer to the same color only a brighter color, but from his horns I can clearly tell he¡¯s a high demon probably a noble. ¡°Have you seen a young girl¡­. With silver like hair and pinkish eyes?¡± Nimue. ¡°Yes actually¡­ a few days ago¡­ was quite amusing actually¡± Female. ¡°Do you know where she is?¡± Nimue ¡°I think she fell in a hole¡­ in the ground running form a small boar¡­¡± Female. Is she trying to hold in her laughter? ¡°Can you tell me about where this hole is?¡± Nimue. ¡°Yes, you see if you walk the direction we came, for about an hour or so, you¡¯d come across it¡­ though it closed up as soon as she fell through, so I doubt it would be of any use to you.¡± Female. ¡°Well thanks¡­ if we meet again in the future I¡¯d be sure to give my proper thanks then¡­¡± Nimue. As I started to run off, the guy said something, but I could only catch that he was amused by her calling that small¡­. And that he was really interested in Jona¡­ I could tell about how his normally bored eyes came interested when I asked¡­ but he didn¡¯t say anything. About an hour of half walking, half running, I came across what looks of a battle field¡­. This huge boar, about the size of a small castle, is small? I mean there are holes all over its body¡­ I say this was done¡­ by some pretty high powered magic¡­ was it from the boy or girl¡­ no telling who did this, but that girls gauntlets give me a very bad feeling. It seems they cut up some of the boar¡¯s meat as well¡­ probably as rations? I have been looking for this hole in the ground¡­ but at most I only saw a metal plate door after a few hours of searching¡­ So, the best bet is to use nature magic to try to figure the outlining of this.. hole¡­ Damn.. .this thing is really like a maze¡­ I can only feel one life form¡­ very weak but is farther away. By following the link to my magic to the closest location hoping there might be another way in, it just lead back out of the forest¡­ Then the life signal vanished¡­ almost set me into a panic¡­ if that¡¯s Jona¡­ only two ways can a life signal vanish¡­ either by dying or teleporting¡­ But before my mind went into really dark thoughts, the life force showed back up about a little ways away from me, and sure enough it was my master¡­ Jona¡­ I went rushing to her with a bad feeling about her; I tackled her to the ground so she couldn¡¯t get away and my tears also couldn¡¯t be controlled for how much worried I for her safety¡­ ¡°Jona! I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re alive! Thank goodness!¡± Nimue. I am sure¡­ some of my words were cut out from my crying¡­ I couldn¡¯t keep myself from crying¡­ it¡¯s been awhile since she¡¯s gone¡­ I really haven¡¯t eaten anything or sleep since she vanished¡­ It even took me another day by the time I found the demon and the weird girl¡­ thanks to my father making me stay and clean up¡­ not like that matters¡­ when I had to find her¡­ ¡°where¡­ is Kira¡­¡± Jona. She seemed to have difficulty just speaking¡­. ¡°She¡¯s at my house, I took her there¡­ it has been four days! So after the first day¡­ of looking I took her home so I could look more freely¡­¡± Nimue. After calming down a bit I realized¡­ the search took longer than just a few days¡­ I was too much of a panic to actually take the days in¡­ but if my bracelet is right¡­ it has a 4 day charge on it¡­ really? My bracelet is something that works my armor, it gets a charge by day I don¡¯t use it¡­ must have really¡­ ¡°Sorry¡­ I won¡¯t run off like that again¡­¡± Jona. Being totally unguarded for the apology, it cut my train of thought and I couldn¡¯t help but smile¡­ but it quickly vanished when I spotted dark-like vines on the back of her neck, and with a panicking motion, I smashed her a little bit too close to me and I could hear her grunt in pain. Despite that, I had to move her back home fast¡­ this is at the later stages¡­ oh I hope¡­ it isn¡¯t too late¡­ this stupid girl¡­ Once I came back, I seen that my father was worried about me and Kira rushing to me. I had no time for them right now; I need to tell father right now what¡¯s wrong, he usually acts pretty fast. ¡°She.. has a blight mark!¡± Nimue. My father frowned then rushed to us even faster as tears flowed from my eyes even more than before¡­ I am a failure of a knight¡­ I couldn¡¯t¡­ stop this from getting this far¡­ if it wasn¡¯t for¡­ ¡°She¡¯ll be okay.¡± Father. Luckily she fainted¡­ I don¡¯t want her to feel regret¡­ for¡­ ¡°We¡¯ll save her okay? Rush to your Uncle''s house and bring him here. He should have just gotten back from work¡­ he can heal this if we catch it fast enough, you understand!¡± Father. Him yelling at me made me jump, but not sure of my own words, I simply rushed out the door with just a nod, running as fast as my body could take me to my uncles house¡­ really, I hate this place¡­ too many bushes just in the way. It''s like some stupid maze for the fun of it¡­ it is a waste of space! Rushing and cutting my way through the bushes without caring about anything else, I arrived at the and I slammed the door open knocking a few butlers over and kept rushing while I asked them where my uncle was, luckily he had made it back and was in the study¡­ ¡°Uncle! Comes with me now! It¡¯s important, just come!¡± Nimue ¡°Yes, my princess.¡± Uncle. ¡­ He has a way of making me feel uncomfortable, but he quickly understood and kept up with me. We got back to my house while father motioned us to the guest room, and then forced me to wait outside. I wanted to argue but, with the look in his eyes, I couldn¡¯t say anything but stand outside¡­ What seemed like forever¡­ the door finally opened and my uncle came out with father, both of them looked as if they knocked a few years from their lives¡­ must have been.. a tough treatment¡­ wait¡­ did¡­ she¡­ ¡°She¡¯s fine, all she needs is some sleep. You got a tough friend¡­ if it wasn¡¯t for her spiritual energy I am afraid she would have died before she got here¡­ to have spiritual energy without eating for a few days is outstanding¡­ I would like you to tell her I would want to speak to her when she is ready alright?¡± Uncle. ¡°Y-yes!¡± Nimue. ¡°And next time¡­ try not to destroy my yard¡­ it was costly to get it that way¡­¡± Uncle. ¡°It was in the way!¡± Nimue. Both him and father laughed and walked off, leaving the door open as if they knew I wanted to go inside¡­ Walking up to my master sleeping peacefully, I couldn¡¯t help but sigh in relief¡­ as I sat beside her waiting for her to wake up¡­ I can¡¯t let this happen again¡­ Chapter 21 Break {POV: Jona} Feeling something heavy on me¡­ it''s almost impossible to move my left arm¡­. When I opened my eyes, I see Nimue passed out with her head laying on my chest¡­ is this how one treats a sick person? I mean¡­ it doesn¡¯t bother me much, and I can¡¯t help but smile at her¡­ since I don¡¯t feel the pressure of anyone else in the room¡­ What? Yeah I smile¡­ I have expressions like everyone else¡­ just in my old life they betrayed me too much. Specially remembering my smile at school¡­ people usually thought I was thinking of some evil plan. My free hand seemed to move on its own and brushed her hair out of her face, though this idiot didn¡¯t seem to wake up¡­. *cough* Making me nearly jump as I put my mask back on, I look towards the door where an old man is standing¡­ in some sort of flashy outfit¡­ too bright¡­ too idiotic¡­. ¡°It seems thou have awaken, young lady.¡± Old Man. I can¡¯t help but just blankly stare at him as he slowly walks forward. ¡°Not much of a talker¡­¡­ Well this one here on behave of the Sky Kingdom, and as a Father, thanks thou for putting up with my daughter.¡± Old Man. Is he some sort of king or something? And what is with the funny way of speaking¡­ ¡°Oh, honey! Behave~¡± Female voice. Said an Elven women that looks in her twenties that walked in while laughing at the old man¡­ well I say old¡­ but really doesn¡¯t look over thirty¡­. But besides that point it seems this Elvish couple is the parents of Nimue¡­.. Well not like it has anything to do with me. ¡°Nimue, wake up your friend is awake~¡± Female. She breathed in Nimue¡¯s ear¡­. And made Nimue jump quite high and kind of looks funny from my point of view¡­ ¡°Mother! Why did you have to do that!¡± Nimue. ¡°Oh my¡­ darling, you know that you wouldn¡¯t of woke up otherwise~¡± Nimue¡¯s Mother? I tilt my head at them with confusion¡­ really a weird bunch¡­ Nimue then turned to me, seeing me looking at her and before I could say anything, I felt my bones pop¡­ in a crushing hug¡­ ugh¡­ so painful¡­ ¡°Nimue, you''re killing the poor girl¡± Old Man. She seems to realize it and let¡¯s go and looks away with her hands behind her back as if she¡¯s forcing herself to not attack¡­.. ¡°Nimue, you should have seen your friends face¡­ when she thought no one was in here¡­ that was quit----¡°Old man ¡°Who are you people anyhow?¡± Jona. Cutting him off only made him smile¡­. I knew he was acting weirdly before when he talked¡­ maybe that¡¯s how he acts when he is around strangers? ¡°Oh my¡­ it seems we have forgot to introduce ourselves. I am Caius Blue Alister, and this is my wife Emilia Blue Alister, you can just call me Kai.¡± Caius. ¡°Yes I am Nimue¡¯s mother Emilia, and that block head is the Father¡­ if you can believe it¡­¡± Emilia. Tilting my head at the really confusing couple¡­ but is also like watching animals¡­ ¡°Now then, I want to know how you got a Blight mark.¡± Caius. ¡°¡­?¡± Jona. Now that he mentions it¡­ before I fainted, I did hear that¡­. ¡°It seems you have no idea what we are talking about¡­..¡± Caius. He seems to be thinking of something before sighing and leans against the wall, I guess to try to look cool¡­ but fails with the funny colored clothes. ¡°A Blight mark is something the Undead army marks targets with, when this mark finalizes it will turn the person into an undead puppet. In some cases, the person will keep their mind and self¡­ these people become generals for the undead army, but everything in common between generals is that they hate the way this world is and wishes to take it over, or destroy it. To get a blight mark, you must gain the interest of a general¡­ and to gain one you must have shown a great power to make them to want to make you theirs.¡± Caius.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Ah¡­ that demon looking lady¡­ but really she just has a sense of familiarity to me¡­ I want to fight her and at the same time I want to make her mine? I can¡¯t really understand this feeling; it certainly isn¡¯t one of love¡­ more like possessiveness¡­ ¡®It is because she has the Dusk Maidens blood, making her half flame¡­ but as to how she was made is unknown¡­ since Dusk Maidens are born of magic¡­ in order to have someone being half¡­ would mean a Dusk Maiden didn¡¯t fuse with the real form but had a child¡­ maybe¡­ this is just a theory.¡¯ Kuro. Hmm¡­ but that doesn¡¯t seem like that would make me want to have her¡­ ¡®You¡¯re a true Princess of Flames. Any Dusk Maiden would be something you¡¯d want to command and control¡¯ Kuro. How¡­ do you know all this? ¡®Because I am a Dusk Maiden¡­ the other side of you that was fused to make you who you are. Just like Rose is the real Princess¡­ you¡¯re the fusion of us combined.¡¯ Kuro. Not possible¡­ since I had a life before this body¡­ ¡®Yes¡­ you did¡­. But really was that you¡­ or me?¡¯ Kuro It should be me¡­ I have all the memories¡­ just like it was the other day¡­. ¡®Your life was filled with dark days, the same as a Dusk Maiden, even if you lived as a male it is the same thing, only on a smaller scale.¡¯ Kuro. ¡®Enough of this, we know that you are the real you¡­ Kuro is the real Dusk maiden¡­. Didn¡¯t you remember when they said the body itself couldn¡¯t move on its own? Yeah¡­ to me that mean they failed in fusion, or didn¡¯t know the true way of doing it and used someone else to fill the blanks.¡¯ Rose. True¡­ this does make sense¡­ I¡¯ll think about it more later. ¡°That Blight mark almost killed you. If it wasn¡¯t for Nimue bringing you in at the right time, you would have died!¡± Emilia. After saying that, as if she wanted to give us some time alone, she took Caius¡¯s arm and dragged him out of the room, leaving us alone. ¡°So, you saved me?¡± Jona. ¡°Yeah¡­.. I brought you hear but my family did the rest¡­¡± Nimue. ¡°Thanks¡­ ¡°Jona. I almost couldn¡¯t hide my smile; I turned away, but I take was a mistake because I seemed to have break Nimue¡¯s control and she hugged me tighter then before from the back¡­ ¡°I¡­ love you like a sister, Master¡­. So please try not to make me worry again, we are family right?¡± Nimue. ¡­. Really now, not knowing how to respond I just could only nod¡­ not even knowing why I felt happy about this¡­ but I know my emotions will get the better of me and if not under check I¡¯d eventually go on a rage again¡­ it¡¯s best to keep them under control.. ¡°You¡¯re smiling¡­.¡± Nimue. What! Reaching up to touch my face only to notice I was tricked¡­. And she started laughing at me and said, ¡°Your eyes¡­ I can see them through the window¡­ even if you keep that mask your eyes can¡¯t hide it you know?¡± As the day ended, I didn¡¯t see Kira but I guess since I couldn¡¯t really get out of bed¡­. But when I was allowed to drink Nimue¡¯s blood that night, I felt it had a higher effect then normal¡­ So the next day I was already able to get up¡­ it seems the main I was weak wasn¡¯t due to the dragon power¡­ Does that mean it let me use it? Or at least has some more respect for me then in the game? Not like I want to chance it¡­ but since I know it was forced, the class has been on a lock down¡­ I¡¯ll be able to use it again tomorrow if I need be¡­ but the truth is I need to train in Summoner¡­ since it is lv 1 right now¡­ It is still morning as I decided to walk to the library here, if there was one, but apparently the maids in the hallway showed me the way when I asked¡­ When I got there, I found Kira really into some book¡­. But when I got closer to it¡­ it indeed was a romance manga¡­. Let¡¯s say none of the ones I¡¯d want to read okay? So let¡¯s ignore that book for now¡­ We had our greetings, she hugged me tightly before going back to her book¡­ as I went to books hoping to find one of summoning or how to level the class, though right now I guess I could summon my two spirits¡­ and get the info but it would be better to see if there isn¡¯t anything here about it. Lo and behold, there was one¡­ mostly about the devastating army the summoner Tama had at her power during the war of the Gods¡­ and how to level it by getting more summons, and how to do so, really you just need to capture spirits of monsters, people, or eggs from the living. Though one thing is in common, people have to agree willingly to become your summons¡­, monsters have to basically do the same, they have to agree to have you as their master. As for the eggs, well that is just you have to raise them and make a contract with them¡­ So simply, they all have to be willing to be yours. Speaking of which¡­ during my gaming days I did have some eggs¡­ but never hatched them since usually I had stronger partners in battle¡­ they didn¡¯t seem to come with me through my Tamer class. At least not that I know of, but because it would take too much time to hatch an egg, I will wait for later¡­ since I remember some of them are not that nice even to their owners¡­ After a few days of trying to find methods, I did get two new summons; I could summon Rose and Kuro¡­ believe it or not these two summons are a bit different than the rest¡­ since we figured they really didn¡¯t have any more power than I did myself, so really no different than just using clones. There is only really one thing different¡­ is it seems they can fuse with me, probably because they are really myself anyhow¡­ and our fusion isn¡¯t one that can last a long time, but doing so it seems to level the class of summoner and themelves. It takes a lot of mana though¡­ to keep it up, making it more or less hard to move after¡­ the most we can stay fused is like three minutes¡­ before they are un-summoned¡­. However, our power together seems to be doubled¡­ for a short time, though keeping them out normally can be for awhile¡­ Rose can fight like normal, but Kuro is a lot different¡­ she doesn¡¯t seem to be good at being physical¡­ according to her it is because her main power is to fuse with me even not being summoned¡­ but that I am too weak right now to use it without going into a blank rage. Though, she has no combat value¡­ she seems to be good at bringing in chains of darkness to bind her enemy, other than that she really has not much use¡­ though when we fuse this way, according to her it is a weaker version, I can clearly feel more power coming out making me a bit faster¡­ though as for actual power it is hard to tell¡­ Anyhow, after a few weeks more of practice, I got summoner up to level 10, and still can only last three minutes in the fusion. But it¡¯s fine, and so we set off back to the beast area¡­ only this time Nimue¡¯s father decided to make us appear close to the beast capital only a day away. I am glad he decided to do so¡­ we wasted too much time as is¡­ Not A chapter I am sorry for the people that actually like my story. Life has gotten pretty hard for me at the moment, so I am having to work more then before, two jobs really eat me up, but I will try to upload a chapter or twin in 3 days when I finally get a day off.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Chapter 22: Beast Capital (part 1){Draft} Once we got to the gate of the Beast Capital¡­. Really why haven¡¯t they even told me the name of this city? I mean I really would rather much be more informed¡­. ¡°Stop, what brings you to our city puny Elf¡± Guard. ¡­ To sock you in the face¡­I want to say¡­ why is this guard in pink armor¡­. Ugh¡­ is this something Amanda made? ¡°To meet the Beast king about the ongoing war¡± Nimue Why did you tell him that you useless idiot! ¡°Another weak Elf asking for help¡­..¡± Guard. ¡°¡­¡± Jona ¡°Go ahead, but be sure to not dirty our streets¡± Guard. Is this really¡­ beastmen? The villagers were more¡­. He seems to let us into the city which really looked like most the beastmen here are neat freaks¡­ I mean even the slum area here¡­. Looks like it¡¯s cleaned regularly¡­. Yes we found the slums cause we got lost¡­ it took us nearly to sundown before we found a temple¡­ why is it that I follow Nimue most the time and end up with this kind of crap¡­ to get lost¡­ yeah it was her¡­ ¡°I let you lead¡­ Master¡­ didn¡¯t think you wanted to go to the temple¡­ if I had known before we could have been here in an hour¡± Nimue What? You¡¯re saying it¡¯s my fault? Well maybe it was¡­ the one in the lead¡­ but it wasn¡¯t my fault we got lost¡­ you could have said something instead of looking at all the stores¡­. And eating lots of that¡­ who knows where it came from meat¡­ ¡°How may I help you, young Elves?¡± Priest. ¡­. He is in pink too? What the hell! ¡°I¡­ need a blessing¡­ by the priestess ¡°Jona ¡­ Please not be in pink¡­ ¡°Follow me then¡± Pink Priest. He smiled and turned towards a door too an older looking area, with a fox lady sitting on a chair reading a book¡­ at least her clothes is white like it should be¡­ buy why is her hair pink¡­ god this kingdom is hell. Well they seem normal other then the pinkness¡­ if they had fluffy personalities¡­ I would cry¡­ ¡°Who is this Cutie?¡± Priestess ¡°An elf that wants your blessing¡± Priest ¡°REALLY!?¡± Priestess ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯ll take my leave¡± Priest He somehow hurried out the door, and talked Kira and Nimue to go with him saying he needed help with the children in the orphanage next door¡­. Leaving me alone with this fox Before I could look back she already had me in a hug carrying me over¡­ to a pool of ¡­. My god¡­ pink water¡­ ¡°Such a young elf, not even over thirty, and you want a blessing from me? You do know¡­ getting a beast blessing before your blessing of an elf would make you closer to our race?¡± Priestess No not really¡­ but I already got an elf form¡­ no need to care¡­ just¡­ pink water¡­. ¡°Why are you crying?!¡± Priestess ¡­ Pink water¡­ why¡­ why god¡­ did I do something wrong¡­. ¡°Did they send you so we¡¯d help the elves against the humans?¡± Priestess She seemed to care for me¡­ though it is rare right? But she dropped me in the pink water and did some chant.
Priestess Blessing: You have gained your Beast form Two tailed Tiger
Really¡­ why do I feel like I am being made fun of¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s see your beast side¡­ since¡­ you got my blessing first your race might have some changes¡­ by the work of our Goddess¡­ I will have to talk to the King¡­ if the Elves are this desperate then we need to do something.¡± Priestess She put her hand on my head then did some chanting, which made my whole body glow¡­ and change, what is this? It isn¡¯t like I want to be a beast right now¡­ I just thought it was here¡­. But to think this world had something like this¡­ I just want to get out of this water! Once the glow was over she decided to left me up seeing my two cat tails dropped cause of my depression¡­ ugh why does animals have such clear¡­ my poker face won¡¯t work on this¡­ but it seems she has gotten the wrong idea of why I am depressed¡­ ¡°Oh my¡­ you¡¯re a rare one...¡± she said as she lifted me up into another hug¡­ and ran out the door towards my party, but keep going only saying that she must see the King¡­If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. So the rest followed but the priest had to stay there, but it was a good idea right? But I am not asking on the Elves behalf¡­ more like I was forced into a role of a hero? Maybe¡­ but the humans should have a summoned one by now¡­ or else why would they bother with these other races¡­ She came up to a older man that looks like a butler¡­ at least he is in black like normal and he ran into the chamber of the king and what seemed like an hour he came back saying the king will meet us now.. ¡°My apologizes for the rushed visit¡­ but the Elves have seemed to finally send a young candidate¡­ for our help like you had asked, and become a rare Two Tailed Tiger.¡± Priestess The king then looked at me depressed in her hug. ¡°So young¡­ No worries young one, even if you are from the Elven tribe our kingdom welcomes you.¡± King He seems normal? Then when he talked to the guy beside him to bring out an orb¡­ to test my stats and such, I know my stats didn¡¯t change much only they have gained over 100 on all the stats aside from luck and mana they only went up by 10¡­ But what seemed to surprise them the most wasn¡¯t my stats or probably titles too much but the ¡®Princess¡¯ job¡­ really is this the one that gets everyone? ¡°They¡­ sent a princess¡­ as the¡­.¡± King I couldn¡¯t hear most of it because he was talking to the guy next to him. ¡°Young one, what is it you want our kingdom to do.¡± King Nimue had told me before¡­ that if their armies were better used the humans and undead won¡¯t be a problem¡­ ¡°I want you to make your army bigger¡­ I want you to send people out to train the willing in every village, for when the war starts you¡¯ll need every man available.¡±Jona ¡°And¡­you want a leading part?¡± King ¡°Yes¡± Jona ¡°Then show us, the power you possess¡­ no weakling can become a leader in our kingdom¡± King What? I have to fight the king¡­. I am already tired¡­. ¡®Why not leave it to me?¡¯ Kuro I rather not go berserk and lose¡­ what trust we have already¡­. ¡®That was because of your emotional outburst not me¡­ if it¡¯s allowed by both sides it won¡¯t be berserk, and you can rest¡¯ Kuro Really¡­? I guess I¡¯ll never get you to trust me otherwise huh¡­ ¡®Jona, you should, that way you can come in here and train more, you seem to be neglecting it¡¯ Rose Double teamed? I didn¡¯t think you two were on good terms yet¡­ ¡®We aren¡¯t¡­ but when she¡¯s out I don¡¯t have to deal with her fighting spirit¡­¡¯Rose She loves to fight huh? ¡®Yes¡­¡¯ Rose ¡®Hey I am here still¡­ you know¡­ so are you going to allow me?¡¯ Kuro Sure¡­ just no killing¡­ ¡®I will try¡­¡¯ Kuro Then in front of the their eyes Jona¡¯s body changed the hair on her head turned black while the ears and tails stayed the same as her original hair ¡°what happened?¡± King ¡°I just went into battle mode¡­¡± Kuro ¡®Really? You have to change the hair color?¡¯ Jona ¡®it is auto done¡­ when I have free control?¡¯ Kuro ¡°How dare you change inside the Castle!¡± Guard A He even drew his sword¡­ I wonder how Kuro would handle this¡­ ¡°So king when are we going to test my strength?¡± Kuro Totally ignoring the guy? Isn¡¯t that only making him even madder¡­ hey Kuro¡­ he¡¯s coming this way and the king isn¡¯t stopping him¡­ ¡°I have had it with your way of speaking, you are in front of a king! Why haven¡¯t you even kneeled!¡± Guard A Why? I didn¡¯t kneel¡­ because at the start I was in a weird hug by a fox lady? But Kuro¡¯s change made her shocked and dropped us¡­ ¡°Is there a fighting arena we must go to King of beast¡­ or do we fight here?¡± Kuro She seems to continue to ignore that guard now he¡¯s up too close¡­ And the king seems to just have an amusing smile like his guard is an idiot or something¡­ Anyhow this isn¡¯t going to turn good¡­. ¡°You idiot child! Stop with the Rude acts you have commited here!¡± Guard A ¡°Rude acts? What is an accessory like you talking about?¡± Kuro What?... accessory? Really isn¡¯t that a bit¡­ And I swear I can hear the king snicker¡­ is this how they normally act here or something? But when the guard swung his sword at me out of rage all it did was hit air¡­ what? Kuro just walked forward¡­ like the guard wasn¡¯t even there¡­. Really? ¡°Can we get this over with? Someone as strong as a king of beast would should be more worth my time¡± Kuro I didn¡¯t realize¡­ how much of a fight lover she is¡­ and how much she ignores anything and anyone that isn¡¯t in her interest¡­ This time the guard just with his red face swung his sword rather fast and¡­ really? Kuro just bowed to the king and the sword missed her again. ¡°Or you are afraid to fight?¡± Kuro ¡°Young one, if you deal with my guard here we can get it over with you know.¡± King Kuro¡­ tilted her head and just punched the guard in¡­. between his legs to make him drop¡­ the sword and then poked his eyes¡­. Before knocking him out¡­ really? Is she a bit underhanded¡­ ¡®It is best to deal with tools like him fast.¡¯ Kuro If you say so¡­ but is it really nessarcy to fight like that? ¡®That wasn¡¯t a fight, it was just dealing with him¡¯ Kuro The king laughed hard this time, while looking a bit disappointed but well I guess that¡¯s natural¡­ ¡°Very well let us have fun, follow us¡± King He had seemed to not wish to say anymore and walked out with a few guards following him to a flat land outside¡­ that we walked for a long time¡­ , it seems nothing is in sight but flat lands¡­ this fight means it¡¯s going to be rough? The king them seemed to get ready while waiting on Kuro¡­ well I guess its fine, but after this I am going to really explore this place¡­ it really¡­ is rushed too much right now.. They both seem to be to staring at each other¡­ seeming to fight with their eyes¡­ really how long are they going to stand here? It¡¯s like almost night time¡­ why couldn¡¯t they wait to tomorrow¡­ When they finally moved the king was even faster than us¡­ and we were already under a painful assault¡­ really Kuro are you going to let him beat you? ¡®Why yes? Of course¡­ I am going to let him beat me¡¯ Kuro Seeming to have some sort of sarcasm there¡­ ¡®just shut up, this guy is faster and more experienced.¡¯ Kuro She seems pretty aggravated? Anyhow she finally decided to make a move once the king seemed to lower his guard after awhile of fighting her without her seemingly able to fight back but when she did he probably regretted it¡­. cause she poked him in the eyes¡­ really¡­ he didn¡¯t guard that? And he only laughed? And the fight seemed to become more balanced¡­ but I am going to be super sore after.. this¡­ I regret it now¡­ ¡°Stop this fight now!¡± woman¡¯s voice ¡°Restart it tomorrow, it¡¯s dinner time and you will probably fight all night! And if I can¡¯t get any sleep I will make you regret it!¡± Women¡¯s voice When she came into view she seemed to be dressed very richly¡­ with all the flashy clothes. She also seemed really strong¡­ because the binding force she has on us makes to make us unable to move¡­ is really annoying, but somehow Kuro seemed to give me control back and won¡¯t say anything¡­ She forcefully had us dragged back inside my guess is she is the beast queen? Cause her power¡­ is higher then the kings. ¡°Why did you get such a small girl to fight?? I heard she wanted to be a lead role to fight against the humans and undead, and I agree to let her, no need to fight you brute, besides looking at her she¡¯d be more for swifter fighting then one on one fair fighting¡± Queen ¡°Yes¡­ sorry dear¡­ but you know how I get when I since someone strong¡­¡± King Before I could even say anything I felt some sort of pressure on the back of my neck and everything went black. But before that I heard, ¡°You should of waited to her body fully adjusted to the change¡­ you know that spirits that force themselves inside small bodies during the blessing can damage their bodies if they overexert themselves!¡± Female voice Not sure who that one was though¡­ Not a Chapter I know it seems like I dropped this, but me typing on my phone is near impossible. and Currently looking for another job cause of bills. But the reason I have yet to drop another chapter isn''t because I quit, or left it hanging, but because my computer with all the info on it crashed. In a few weeks to a month I should start back up cause that''s when my new computer suppose to come in, or at least the part needed to fix my old one which ever comes in first. But I will start back up on this then. Though I dunno if it would be better to re:write it from the start, or continue as is.... Though I guess the plot is lacking but was suppose to be more defined in the next Five chapters. Anyhow again I am sorry... for all this wait without saying much at all.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Skill Tree

Chapter 23: Beast Capital Part: 2 I was hit from behind, not sure why they had to knock me out, but reason I am able to do this is simple, I was in my dream scape. Though Kuro is seemingly brooding over how the king was stronger than her¡­. Probably cause my body isn¡¯t that strong and really if I count it out I really haven¡¯t fully accepted this body is my own now that I know that Rose and Kuro is here, maybe it¡¯s not mine but every time I come in this I feel there is more to this body that meets the eye, they said it came from a meteor¡­. ¡°Kuro, Rose, This body didn¡¯t come from the meteor like they said but from the portal?¡± ¡°no¡­ like you know the kingdom came from the sky, though not is much is known about this, but what info they said maybe right or wrong. The only way for us to find out is to go there.¡± Kuro Rose only nodded to this¡­ Suddenly a tiger came in this scape white, with two tails like my beast form seemingly old and about to go out. ¡°Young one¡­. You have accepted the blessing form the priestess, but I haven¡¯t accepted you do to that, but do to my friend of the fox race¡­¡± white tiger ¡°¡­.okay?¡± ¡°You have no need to be worry, I am here to finally merge with your soul¡­ normally it would be in a dream but you have such¡­ a creative mind.¡± White tiger ¡°this¡­ wasn¡¯t do to my racial ability?¡± ¡°Oh no young one, though you can change your race back at will, you will forever keep a cat like nature, meaning your body even in elven form will have some part of your body equal that fits your beast form. But do not think this as something like you¡¯d be able to use beastkin¡¯s abilities in other forms, at most you¡¯ll only have increased senses, which is about it, not the over powering strength of a beast or the speed of one.¡± White tiger then he looked over to kuro and snickered. ¡°you lost cause you are young, and didn¡¯t know beasts have strong defensive aura¡¯s that defend themselves. It¡¯s their version of magic¡­ since most can¡¯t perform magic or at least very good unless they are a special variant, but aura is an ability which coats the skin in mana protecting them similar to armor¡­¡­¡± Then he looked at me and just dashed in me, like I said in me, like we fused and I started seeing things differently his memories of how he met Tama and how he died, and all of his skills and knowledge of fighting, and this aura he was talking about is just similar to what I see in novels where the guys coat themselves with qi, or something akin to fire¡­ Then the burning started like a burning in my soul¡­ like his abilities are being marked inside me and his will and wants, he wanted to die for a long time but do to his strong spirit he couldn¡¯t truly die to he found a someone strong enough to hold his power, now he¡¯ll be reborn anew in some cat beast tribe, without his memories or power but something tells me he¡¯ll be just fine¡­ ¡°wow¡­¡± ¡°Are you okay?¡± Rose ¡°Yes, I am fine¡­ but his no¡­ her memories tell me that one of the classes Tamer¡­. Is in this world¡­ and the way to use them is to connect your mind¡­ to the spirit gate¡­¡± ¡°Oh¡­ that¡¯s easy¡± Kuro Without saying anymore she walked to a golden like door I didn¡¯t see before. So I walked up to it and seemingly on instinct my hand went to the door and opened it¡­ but somehow I regret it¡­. because the next thing some male hands seemed to drag me into a crushing hug¡­.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. ¡°Master! I was worried about you when you drew my power¡­ if you had asked I would of willingly lent it to you!¡± Seir or who I assume is¡­ ¡°You can¡­ let go..¡± He let go seemingly sorry that he grabbed me without my permission but seemingly getting a good look at me and tilted his head. Though he does look good¡­ I mean a tall elvish guy with dragon horns, white hair, and sparkling silver armor, that I assume is his scales, even his eyes have a silver ish white tent to them, but he taking me out of my thinking process by asking a stupid question¡­. ¡°Master¡­ why are you a girl?¡± Seir. ¡°Only way¡­ to see you?¡± He seems to be moved at this and kneels before me¡­ what? ¡°Master, I will once again ask you this, Will you be able to become the leader to the dragons?¡± Seir He seems to be serious about this¡­ and when I was a dragon knight¡­ in the game the whole goal was to become the strongest knight and being able to lead other dragons or dragonkin as a leader or to become a king or queen¡­ which ever path you chose, one was to be a simple knight with your fellow dragons following you, the other was to become a king or queen of a set race, the difference is if you become a knight you can have many different races, while if you become a king or queen you are limited to a set type, White Dragons are part of the golden and silver dragon tribes, thus becoming one you¡¯ll only be able to have these three as your followers, aka they are seen only as the holy element¡­ This dragon Seir was a ultra rare, promotional drop, the prince of white dragons, he would never truly agree to follow anyone that didn¡¯t pick the king or queen class, everyone starts out as a knight, but they have the chance to change after a long time. ¡°¡­. I told you before¡­ I will¡± ¡°then why not summon me more!¡± Seir seems frustrated ¡°The¡­ summer icon said a warning about you¡­ and¡­ your habit of even¡­ ¡° ¡°I would not harm a lady! Before you were male! So I figured you would be able to be hurt some so I didn¡¯t hold back¡± Seir ¡°So you didn¡¯t care about your master¡­ cause she was male?¡± Kuro ¡°Yes, it was that having another male¡­ as my¡­ Master was wrong!¡± Seir ¡°Why?¡± Kuro ¡°Because I am wanted a lovely lady beside me¡­ what man wouldn¡¯t?¡± Seir ¡°¡­¡± Okay then¡­. I wonder if my other partners are here¡­ not that they¡¯d accept me as weak as I am right now¡­ ah there they are¡­ staring at me from a distance, though they are only three, they seem to be smiling at me¡­ though their all women, because their rares like this dragon, different game but different one I can see as clearly from one game¡­ so my Tamer class seemed to fuse¡­ with games of the kind. One of them seems to be a bushy beastkin of the wolf varant, black but seemingly humanoid now¡­ but back in the game it was a mount and partner in battle, and on the side of her was an angel, or seraph that I had gotten on an app¡­ I am sure there is tuns of the lower rarity mobs in here¡­ but isn¡¯t it just another summoner class? and the last one is a human with a bastard sword on her back just sitting there staring at me like I am a prey. Their names are as following, Shade, Ophelia, and Rachel. But they dun seem to accept me as of yet, but Seir seeing me looking at them smiled¡­ ¡°Girls! It looks like you¡¯ll have a master you¡¯d want back, your lives won¡¯t be as boring anymore sitting here doing nothing¡± Seir ¡°Why do you care? It¡¯s more likely tamer can¡¯t summon the other two, unless they are moved to the summoner class or it¡¯s fused¡± Shade The other two nodded, ¡°And our strength unlike you¡­.. dropped down to our masters strength¡± shade seemed to finish off. Somehow I felt myself being shaking I guess they wish for me to wake up¡­.. Not a Chapter This is clearly a move over to the semi re write of this, though some chapters i didn''t feel the need to change or add much, it does go into slightly more details... i''ll try not to have tuns of filler like some animes out there... but therre isn''t much I can really do about this, and as for why i am writing a paragraph on this... simple trying to meet the word limit without looking completely stupid. thoughs that have idea''s for the story like i have seen on here will be taken into consideration, and since i rarely used half the classes in this anyhow... i feel it''s best ot go a different route...Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. if people can come up with classes that isn''t completely the same with jsut different names as i had posted i would be very much welcomed. the skills/classes will still be there for the ones that liked them, but they will be mostly skills now, do to a comment from before it is better if i center around her training then the game classes even earning new ones... well here it is! the re write! http://royalroadl.com/fiction/16462/into-the-secret-of-tirlus
