《We choose our Path》 Chapter 1 : A choice of paths I never imagined that I would die this way. I look at my death. Just 30 feet away is a rip in reality, and I¡¯m currently flopping around horizontally in the air as everything around me is being pulled into it. The only reason I have not died yet is because my left arm is pinned to the wall by a metal bar. I feel nothing but melancholy as I look at my arm. My arm is slowly ripping apart and I can¡¯t feel it, probably because I got shot in the spine. Just moments before terrorist had attacked this lab. I look back at the expanding rift. This is what you get for throwing gunfire and explosives around people experimenting with black holes. I was only a guard here for just a few days before all this crap went down. I never really had a choice as to what I should do with my life. Grow up only to be mandatorily drafted with everyone else my age. 18 years of freedom 6 months of boot camp then shipped off to gods knows were. Military dictatorships suck. Damn this world I hope this thing expands and swallows the planet. I feel a slight sensation as my arm pops free. I continue my halted horizontal momentum as I fall into the rift. Well good by world. I feel nothing as my vision blacks out as I enter the rift. No sensations nothing at all to feel or see in this black void. Black void? I can still think? I think I¡¯m dead or I would probably feel something or see something. I try to think of nothing for a while as I think I¡¯m probably still dyeing. After who knows how long I realize that I am indeed still thinking. If I¡¯m not dead then what am I? Where am I? I think about this for a while and nothing happens. Well this sucks worse than my life on earth. This empty void must be some kind of purgatory or something. Well I guess I should contemplate or something. An undetermined amount of time later. ¡°I spy with my little eye something black.¡± ¡°Oh is it the darkness.¡± ¡°What how did you know that.¡± ¡°Mowahahahaha.¡± Yup its official I¡¯ve gone crazy. I don¡¯t know when I started talking to myself or if I¡¯m even talking, but I degrees there is nothing to do other than to entertain myself throw nonsense. ¡°Alright it¡¯s my turn. I spy with my little eye something white.¡± ¡°is it that light over there?¡± ¡°Damn your good. Wait what?¡± I do indeed see a light. The light is getting bigger. I watch fascinated and speechless as I watch the only illumination in this void get bigger and bigger. I think it¡¯s headed to me not getting bigger. I watch in awe as I make out the shape of a woman inside the light. She approaches quickly and I relies that I¡¯m quite small in comparison. A beautiful face the size of my torso looks at me wide eyed. I hear her surprised voice in my head. ¡°Where¡¯d you come from? How did you get here?¡± She¡¯s pretty cute looking. Well if I¡¯ve finally gone crazy I may as well go deep. ¡°I got sucked into some kind of black hole.¡± She brings a finger to her closed mouth and squints her eyes. ¡°Shhh¡­ They will hear you.¡± She taps her head. ¡°Just think I can hear you. You are a rare find in this place and just what I need.¡± She gives me a wide smile with sparkly eyes.Ok I guess. So why are you here? Just taking a stroll into the old black? ¡°Something like that. There was noise coming from this region of the void and a few of us came to investigate. Imagine my surprise when I find the remains of someone from one of the dense universes.¡± Her smile widens as she claps with her hands. Strangely no sound is made. I try to look her over but the rest of her is obscured by light. She gives me a smirk for trying to see her right when I see more lights in the distant void. She turns her head and sees them as well. ¡°The others are close.¡± She looks back to me and a small ball of light floats towards me. ¡°Quick I need your consent to be mine so I can dematerialize you. I need you to accept so I can take you out of here.¡± Um ok but why? ¡°I don¡¯t want to share with the others because they piss me off. I also probably won¡¯t ever find someone here in time again.¡± ¡°Ok I accept.¡± Probably a bad idea but what the hell beats sitting here for eternity. Her grin turns greedy as the light ball blinds me. ¡°Oww damn it.¡± I fall down and smack my head against stone. ¡°Oww what the hell?¡± I open my eyes and see coble stone tiles as I nurse my head with both hands. ¡°What? I sit up and stare at my hands. I have hands again. I can feel again. I sit up and look at myself. I¡¯m glowing and slightly see threw, yet I can feel. ¡°Ok this is different.¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± I hear the same female voice as before just much louder and directly behind me. I look behind me over my shoulder and my eyes nearly pop out. Behind me sits a woman with the same cute face as the glowing woman from the void. She looks to be about 12 meters tall and sitting on a throne made of skulls. Nearly all the skulls of various sizes are unrecognizable to me, yet a few looked human. She had black feathery wings on her back. Her hands had claws and scales that tapered off into skin up to her elbow. Her feet are clawed reptilian shaped with scales up to her knees that blended into clean tanned skin. She wore nothing but a decorated loincloth that streamed down to just below her knees. Shit did I just sell my soul to a demon. She smiles and starts to laugh and I¡¯m hypnotized as I watch her breast juggle. She shakes her head and wipes away a tear. Looking down at me she smiles. ¡°No you did not sell your soul to a demon. I am Nefra the goddess of power and hope. You are now my immortal champion.¡± Well shit slavery is slavery. Well I guess it won¡¯t be too bad if I can keep this view. She snaps her fingers on one hand and points up. ¡°Up here.¡± There is amusement in her voice. How did she snap her fingers with those claws? I close my eyes and shake my head. Calm yourself man this is a goddess. I look up into her eyes. She has amused smirk on her face. ¡°Sorry about that. May I ask a few questions?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind. My champion will have perks and privileges with time.¡± She licks her lips and I see the sharp teeth in her mouth. She crosses her legs then props her head up on one of her hands. ¡°Ask and I may answer. I nod. ¡°Thank you. I guess I will start with what came first. I¡¯m I dead. ¡°Yes.¡± Well I guess that was a no brainer. I just had to be sure. ¡°What did you mean by dense universe?¡± ¡°The materials of your universe are extremely dense and rigid. So much so that it suppresses most energy. It stifles magic to the point of none existence. It compacts magic so densely in your body¡¯s that it prevents any use of it of any kind. This is why most gods take people from dense universes as summoned heroes or champions. There is usually some power loss in the transfer. In order a god needs power to suck someone or a group into the void. Preferably those that had just died because the power loss to the individual is less.¡± ¡°People who are brought into the void that are alive will always have more power than those who died first even if they lose more of their own power in the transfer. Next they need to be transferred from the void into the perspective god or gods realm. This part is mostly a drain on the god or goddess who dose the transfer. Then from there they are transferred into the mortal plane, or into an awaiting body, or into a body given to them by a god. Each option has degrees of power loss to the summoned hero or champion. A created body being the biggest power drain and transferred into a new body having the least amount of power loss. ¡°What does that make me? I died in the void and was not summoned into it.¡± Nefra smiles wide and sits up. ¡°You are special because you got transferred by something else into the void with your body. You avoided the biggest power drain. Infect your body was compressed with other materials that your essence inhabited. I transferred all of it into what you are now. It took a lot of power on my end but well worth it.¡± ¡°So you said I¡¯m your champion? Does that mean I have to do what you tell me to do? Do I have a choice? I don¡¯t mean to be rude but I don¡¯t want to be a slave.¡± She sat up straighter resting her hand back onto the arm of her throne. She shook her head. ¡°No you are not a slave. You will have all the free will to do as you please. What kind of goddess would I be if I made my champions into slaves.¡± I look at the skull throne and raise an eyebrow. She shrugs. ¡°I like the aesthetic. It goes well for a goddess of power no?¡± I sigh and nod in agreement. I look down at my see threw body. I don¡¯t seem that powerful. I look like a ghost. I hear her giggle so I look back up at her. She was now leaning forward with her hands on her knees. ¡°Don¡¯t worry as you get older you will get more power and become larger.¡± I swallow as my eyes are drawn to her breasts. Sheleans back into her throne and stretches, her wings flaring out as her chest rises. She relaxes back into her throne wiggling a little. ¡°It will be a long time before we make a demigod.¡± She sighs then cocks her head with a light smile. ¡°Other questions.¡± ¡°Yes you mentioned immortality?¡± ¡°Oh right it¡¯s not really a big thing. Since your power is so hard to find I tied you directly to me. Whatever body you have in the mortal world will never age, and if you get killed or die of an accident you will come back to my realm without any problems. You can¡¯t be soul drained, or your soul harmed by anything other than a god. If any of my fellow gods in this realm hurt you.¡± her eyes go jet black and black veins all over her body become visible. Her voice becomes deep and soulless as if multiple people were talking at once. ¡°They will beg for forgiveness.¡± She returns to normal quickly and smiles at me. ¡°Oh and your memory¡¯s will be immune to all forms of manipulation. Don¡¯t want my champion to forget he is my champion.¡± That¡¯s nice stuff right there. ¡°Ok what would you like me do to as your champion and is there anything I need to know.¡± ¡°There are many things you need to know, yet most will be revealed as you go. As for what I want you to do.¡± She looks me over and taps her chin with a claw. ¡°There are many things but first I want you to save and, or change the fate of one of my believers.¡± She points behind me. I look and seven stone alcoves light up. Each had a large mirror in it. ¡°Before you go and look I need to tell you that the world you will go to has game like features than rule the world. There are such things as experience gain, levels, skill¡¯s, abilities, traits and such. Some features are not in our world, but that¡¯s ok they were lame anyway.¡± She gives me a big grin. ¡°All intelligent beings in the world can see their own status. I won¡¯t let you see your status in my realm this time.¡± She gives me a coy wink. ¡°You can see your status and that of others when you arrive.¡± She claps her hands together once. ¡°Now look at me and try to identify me in your mind.¡± I do just that and I¡¯m surprised when a screen pops up in my vision.
Nefra goddess of Power and hope Alignment: chaotic neutral
Nefra is one of the few gods worshipped by all sentience of the planet Elenton. She is known to be one of the more benevolent, yet wrathful gods. She is perceived as one of the strongest gods in her pantheon.
¡°That¡¯s cool and convenient. I take it I will get more detail when I go onto the planet.¡± She nods then motions towards the mirrors. ¡°Each one has asked me to save them. And each one has offered everything that they have to me as payment. Look them all over then choose which one you want to. They will be given to you to save and change their fate. You may do with them as you want.¡± She shows me her cute little smirk again. ¡°Just be warned they can and will influence you.¡± I nod and walk up to the mirror on the far right. I see a man who looked to be almost 30 years old running on a trail in the forest. The image was paused. He was is cut up and bleeding all over, yet he had the handsome roguish look down pat. He wore leather armor and had a bloody sword in his hand. I looked around him in the mirror and I could see corpses of small green men. Goblins I guess. Oh one looks like he might live. Well if you call legless living if he doesn¡¯t bleed out first. I look back to the man. He was holding onto an amulet in his free hand that I could not see.
Aaron Dotchan Age: 28 Level: 009 Class: NA
Aaron Dotchan started adventuring late in his life to support his new wife his 4 month old baby daughter. He encountered a group of goblins walking down the trail from the direction of his home. He beseeched the goddess for help in the slim chance he can save his wife and child, or have his revenge on the goblins.
¡°Question, how do you get classes and what¡¯s the max level? Is the max 999?¡± ¡°No! Level 999 is not the max. No one in the mortal realm has passed it so the number of spaces has not changed. The Goddess Nat who writes the pop ups has not had to update it for quite some time. Up here on the other hand.¡± She gives me a mischievous smile as she taps her chin as if in thought. ¡°You will just have to find out. As for classes you can choose one at level 10. Class options are based off your stats, skills, and what training you have received.¡± ¡°You can pick a secondary class at level 50 than a third at level 100 or merge the two. You can pick up another class every 100 levels after that or merge the ones you got. There are only a few magical weapons or equipment that requires certain skills stats or abilities to use. Otherwise there are no restrictions on what you can ware use or weald. You can be a full plate waring lightning mage if you want. Just don¡¯t blame me if you electrocute yourself to death in such a get up.¡± ¡°Thanks for the info. I doubt I¡¯m that stupid. Oh before I forget is there a loot system or do I have to gather things manually.¡± She shakes her head.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. ¡°There is no loot system. What you see is what you get, but a few dungeons have set up a loot system.¡± Hmmm food for thought. I guess I can get everything I see on someone then. I look back at Aaron. If I go to this guy I will probably have to help him fight some goblins right away. I walk to the next mirror. The first thing I noticed in the mirror was a naked woman with bloody hands and a naked male corps on a bed behind her. ¡°Damn this looks like a doozy.¡± The woman was extremely beautiful with her silky looking black hair perfect curves and a set of double D¡¯s if my eyes don¡¯t deceive. I cock my head as I looked at them, for they appear to be strangle gravity defying with the looks of melons instead of pairs. She has both of her bloody arms closed together in prayer. Her eyes are closed, and she¡¯s crying while looking at a wall. On the wall were three circles within each other. There was a single line coming from the top that went all the way to the center. There were two more lines on the bottom a third of the outer circle from each other. Both lines ended when they met the second circle. Ok I¡¯m assuming the girl killed the dude. The knife was still in his chest and the bloody hands and bloody painted symbol on the wall weren¡¯t enough giveaways. I¡¯m not going to embarrass myself and ask if that¡¯s Nefra¡¯s holy symbol. So let¡¯s see what the info is about this event.
Soestia Morivel Age: 20 Level" 003 Class: NA
Soestia Morvel is the only child of a rich merchant. He dotes on her so much that he has given her free rein on whom she marries. He has been training her to take over the family business. A Nobel has had his eye on her and her fathers merchant empire for a few years and no longer respected her Firm no. He kidnapped Soestia then raped her. Soestia killed him in his sleep. She fears reprisals and does not know what to do. She has offered Nefra everything body and soul to help her.
¡°Oh this one is going to be a mess.¡± Help her and you get instant enemies, yet that body and the merchant empire might be a balancer. I move on to the next mirror. It is another woman, but this time she¡¯s in the forest. I take a look at her. She has very nice curves, d sized breasts, and cat ears. What? I take a closer look. Yup her ears are cat ears and tail included just coming off her tail bone. Nice a cute catgirl. Her state of dress is well in tatters and shreds. It looks like she shredded some of it herself to wrap around her feet. She has a cute face if you ignore the wide eyed scared look. She has a necklace around her neck that has Nefra¡¯s symbol. Let¡¯s see what we got.
Meeka Maki Age: 19 Level: 008 Class: NA
Meeka Maki was traveling with her family to the capitol of Erador for a festival when there caravan became under attack in the middle of the night. Meeka did not see the attacker in the night but knew there was no hope of survival. She fled into the forest and got lost. For the last few nights something has been following her and scaring her on purpose. She is lost and being stocked by some monster in the forest. She has offered Nefra everything for any help of any kind.
She¡¯s lost in the forest with some monster of unknown origin harassing her. Hmm¡­ probably a fight if I choose to save her. She¡¯s cute though would probably be grateful for whomever saves her. I walk to the next mirror which has a darker environment. I can make out a man in the mirror? Well he resembles a man. He has strong handsome features. His skin almost looks scaled, has two horns on his head that arc back from the sides. He has a lizard¡¯s tail. He is chained to the wall with a cool set of wings tied together on his back. He has no shirt. He is only waring brown pants that look like they may chafe. He¡¯s got strong muscles and a dejected defeated look to him. I can totally see this guy in a set of armor making a speech in front of an army. He¡¯s got that charismatic look. He is a cool looking dragon man.
Gtoran Ve¡¯cha Drach Age: 22 level: 012 Class:Nobel
Gtoran Ve¡¯cha Drach is the last of his family, for the rest were murdered or died fighting when a group of Nobels attacked His family¡¯s barony. They now need a witnessed confession to justify there seizure of his family¡¯s home and assets to the king.He has offered everything for any chance of survival.
"Hmmm... What''s a Nobel class?"
Class: Nobel
The Nobel class is one of a couple of jack of all trade¡¯s classes. This class is Only available to aristocrats or those whom became aristocrats. +15 % to learning and advancing all skills +1 to charisma every level Bonus to the effectiveness of actions that require leadership
¡°Neat, but once again a mess with the nobles involved. Next.¡± I walk to the next mirror. The image is blurry and there is water every ware. I can see the back of someone clinging on top of some wreckage of some kind. I think it is a woman but I¡®m not sure too much rain in the way. ¡°Nefra is there a way to git a better picture of this one.¡± I look back her and she nods. ¡°Put both your hands together on the image ans spread them apart to zoom in and together to zoom out. One hand move left or right to rotate, and up or down works the same way.¡± ¡°Thanks¡¯.¡± I zoom in and rotate the image. It is definitely a she. I can see all of her cute petite shape as well as nice perky B cup breasts. I can see everything that¡¯s above water. What remains of her clothes is even less then what the catgirl had on. I take a closer look at her face. She has pointed ears like an elf. Her wet skin is light blue and pale. Her eyes are a solid black no distinction of where she is looking at all. She looks absolutly tarrafied. I zoom out and rotate the screen. Shit how am I going to save her. Wait I think I see land, yes that¡¯s probably land. Quite a bit of distance but doable. I look back to the cute petite elf girl. Yup I think she is cuter then the catgirl.
Jilia Havi Dos¡¯Mul Age: 62 Level: 008 Class: NA
Jilia Havi Dos¡¯Mul is the 3rd and youngest princess of the Fey Island kingdom of Dos¡¯Breton. She has lived a sheltered and protected life and has been named the gem of the kingdom. Jilia was on her first trip outside her home in her entire life. Disaster struck and a strong storm tore the ship she was on into pieces. She has Offered Nefra all that she is if she can be saved from the storm.
¡°Poor girl. First time she steps away from home and the world shits on her.¡± I look back at Nefra. ¡°Are the Fey elves here?¡± she shakes her head. ¡°No the Fey are not elves although they are close. You can tell an elf apart from a fey by their skin color and especially their eyes. Elves have fewer skin tones then the fey. The fey are very skewed towards magic, which is why they look physically weaker than most races. Don¡¯t let that deceive you though. It is only a look not reality.¡± Ok just two more to go. I walk up to the next mirror and frown. ¡°I¡¯ve noticed a theme that almost all of these people are in various stats of undress. Well except the first guy.¡± I look upon a gray ash skinned Elf that only wore a loincloth about his waist. ¡°Most people that offer everything almost always have nothing.¡± I nod she has a point. The Elf is in a dimly lit room with almost nothing inside it. His bed if you can call it that didn¡¯t even have a blanket. I look at the elf and snort. It figures that elves are beautiful even there males have the look. He¡¯s got the muscles and some scars so I guess I can¡¯t call him a girly man. He is wearing a color around his neck. I guess he¡¯s a slave Let¡¯s see the info.
Lotain Hos¡¯Vol Age: 86 Level: 022
Lotain Hos¡¯Vol was the one who provided for what remained of his family after the last time Drow civilians revolted against the Shotian that lorded over them. His family started to starve, so Lotain approached one of the Shotain that ruled the region he lived in. lotain offered himself into service so his family could survive. The Shotain had him trained then used as a guard for many years before selling him into slavery to a passing caravan for some quick money. He became depressed for he knew that his remaining relatives had surely been tossed into the slums before he left the underdark. The caravan traveled for months until he was sold to a rich merchant as a sex slave. The Fat male merchant loves little boys and a beautiful elf is the next best thing. He has offered everything to Nefra if she can change his fate.
¡°Well damn that¡¯s a crappy life.¡± Well there is several things here I don¡¯t understand.
Race: Elf - Drow
Elves are one of the longer lived races of Elenton. The drow like there other counter parts are flexible and have a talent for magic. Drow society more often than not is ruled by Woman. Elves receive + 2 to dexterity and + 1 to both Intelligence and Wisdom per level and 2 stat points do distribute per level. Drow traits: Inhanced vision Low light perception Magic sensitivity
Shotain
The Shotain are the ruling class of the Drow. Most leaders of the Shotain are female Drow and they rule mostly with an iron fist. Most citizens are treated like slaves. Drow lands are almost all small military dictatorships everywhere. The Shotain is full of rivalries and fights for dominance. The Shotain have a Queen that rules over them, yet she has to constantly fight to maintain some order and control.
¡°Well they seem to be a lovely little bunch I would like to meet. NOT¡±
Underdark
The Underdark is a series of large underground caverns that connect and stretch for miles underground. It is the home of many creatures of terror. The majority of the Drow population has claimed it as home.
Well that is a vacation spot I¡¯m placing as do not visit. If the locals won¡¯t get you the things that go bump in the dark will. Now to the last one. I walk up to the last mirror and my jaw drops. The young looking woman had slightly pointed ears, two obsidian black horns reaching from the top of her forehead. She even had a long thin tinsel tail. Her skin was clean and healthy with a dark pink color, almost red in tone. I can see artfully decorated black tribal tattoos across her body. She was completely naked and on her knees across from a statue that resembled Nefra with a large diagram of her symbol behind it. The woman had her arms stretched out and palms up in imitation of the statue. All the curves in the right places, a face to die for and perfectly shaped C cup breasts. ¡°Holy crap, that face that body. People would kill each other just to get her attention. She¡¯s a virtual sexy goddess of massive proportions.¡± ¡°Oh that one. My sister Erisa blessed that one. She¡¯s the goddess of love and beauty if you want to know.¡± Look back down the line of mirrors. ¡°Not a single one is ugly or even plain looking, even the males.¡± ¡°Of course everyone wants to be beautiful it¡¯s only natural.¡± That¡¯s a difficult thing to argue against. I look back to the sexy demon girl. Rotating the view I could see that her canines and front teeth are a lot sharper than normal. She even had short almost claw looking red nails on her fingers and toes. I could not see a single speck of hair other than her eyebrows and head. All the others had hair in other places accept the fey girl. ¡°Ok let¡¯s see what this last girl¡¯s situation is.¡±
Latisha Traya Bloodclaw Age: 17 Level: 009 Class: NA
Latisha Traya Bloodclaw is the only child of the Deamon warlord Trayvonis Bloodclaw leader of the Bloodclaw clan. Trayvonis doted on his only child so much that he neglected preparing her to take over the clan. The heir of the neighboring Broja clan has demanded her hand in marriage so he can absorb the Bloodclaw clan. He is an ugly fat pig of a man. On her 18th birthday she must either challenge the Broja hair herself in combat or have a champion face him for her freedom. Two of the Broja heir¡¯s thugs have trapped her in the shrine of Nefra so she can¡¯t prepare or select a champion to defend her. She has always been a quite shy girl and knows her right to challenge will be null and void when she turns 18 in a week. In desperation she has stripped down and offered Nefra her body and soul to be saved from her fate.
¡°Well that suck¡¯s. Shame on the father too. Cuddle someone to much and they won¡¯t be prepared for reality. It would be a shame if such a diamond is soiled by some ugly pig man.¡± I back over all the mirriors. ¡°Nefra if I am to save one of them what race will I be? Do I get to choose?¡± ¡°Sorry champion you don¡¯t. You will be the very race of the one you take. So choose wisely.¡± Well I guess that makes sense. Don¡¯t want to be a hated race in the rejoin of whom I pick to save. ¡°Everything they have and are will belong to you.¡± I frown. Ok let¡¯s see those features.

Chapter2 part 1 ¡°I choose Latasha Traya Bloodclaw.¡± Nefra stands up and towers over me with a serious look in her eyes. ¡°You sure? You cannot take this choice back. You will live with the choice tell you die and return to me.¡± I nod ¡°Yes I wish to save her.¡± She steps forward and picks me up with one massive hand. ¡°Very well I shall reveal the fates of those not chosen.¡± I look back to the mirrors and watch the entire stone wall morph into one giant mirror. I can see Aaron running. It plays out like a movie. He races threw the Forrest chopping up one smaller group of goblins before reaching a clearing were his home lay. There is a group of 20 goblins right outside his home. They had two fires set up one with a cookpot the other has his wife tied and impaled over a fire. He screams in rage and tears as he charges them. He kill¡¯s 14 of them and injures 3 others before he is overwhelmed by his accumulated wounds and fatigue. He dies and is butchered. ¡°Well shit. Could I have saved them?¡± ¡°No. They were already dead before he asked for help.¡± The image changed to Soestia. She is still bowing and scraping begging Nefra for help. ¡°Let¡¯s speed this along. The image speeds up as Soestia begs and pleads in fast forward. The image returns to normal a maid opens the door after there is no response to her nocks. She screams and closes the door. A little bit later a mage enters and subdues a begging Soestia. She is brought before the rest of her kidnapper¡¯s family within a day. They have her publicly executed without a trial or review. I frown. ¡°She didn¡¯t even try to save herself.¡± The image changes to the catgirl Meeka Maki lost in the forest. She runs for a while before a werewolf pounces on her. It bites her then proceeds to play with her by knocking her around dragging her and shredding her clothes causing more cuts in her skin. This continues for a while until she stops resisting to tired and battered to do anything other than lay there and let it kill her. It proceeds to rape her than drag her to a cave. She continues to be its toy for a couple of days before a couple of hunters trap the werewolf in the cave and kill it. They found her abused body in the back of the cave. She is happy for a few moments and begs them for help. They silently pull their weapons out and tell her that she is infected and cannot be allowed to change. They pin her down and strike her hart in one blow. The image fades away. ¡°Fuck that was horrible.¡± Nefra nods as the image changes again. This time it is the Lizard dude. He is taken in and out of his cell and tortured and asked to confess to a crime he did not commit. He eventually gives in. he is then taken outside and finds out that a few of his family members were still alive. His relief was short lived as they are all taken to a platform and all publicly executed him included. Nefra spoke. ¡°The sad thing is that if he had endured for just a week more the torture would have stopped. He and his family would have been banished instead.¡± The Image changed before I could respond. It was of the Fay girl Jilia hanging onto the wreckage. She gets tossed around by the waves for a few minutes before her endurance gives and she loses her hold onto her lifeline. Two more waves and drowns. ¡°Well at least she didn¡¯t suffer long.¡± Nefra nods as the image changes to the Drow Lotain. He is taken out of his room whipped than raped by his fat merchant owner. This pattern continues for a week before he is taken outside the merchant¡¯s home and shown the gate entrance of the city. He is shown corpses hanging from the walls. He is told that that is the fate of slaves who attempt to leave. To his horror he sees his grandfathers and his niece¡¯s corpse hanging from the wall. They were supposed to be safe and in the care of the Shotain. He screams and pulls out the merchant¡¯s sword and kill¡¯s him. He manages to kill several more before he is killed by the city guards. His corpse joins his family on the wall. ¡°I was thinking it before and now I will say it out loud. His life was just plain shit.¡± The Image changes to Latasha inside the small Nefra shrine. ¡°Anything I need to know? What should I do after I save her?¡± ¡°Almost anything you want. Become a hermit far from civilization or conquer the world I care not. Just don¡¯t commit genocide or wonton slaughter in my name. Oh and don¡¯t destroy any other gods shrines or symbols with your own hand. I¡¯m a neutral goddess.¡± She gives me a wicked smile. Ok I get the hint not by ¡®my hand¡¯ I got it. ¡°Sinse I don¡¯t have a body, I guess you¡¯re making me one? May I design it a little?¡± ¡°No I¡¯m not going to waste some of your power on creating a body.¡± What then that would mean? ¡°Wait!!¡± my eyes go wide as I lift my arms. Her smile is just down right evil. ¡°Good luck with your choice, and remember to spend your points or you will suffer.¡± ¡°Wait!!¡± Nefra tosses me into the image of Latasha while laughing. My vision goes black. I blink a few times, and my vision returns, and what I see momentarily confuses me. Right before me I see the small Statue of Nefra and her symbol behind it. ¡°What?¡± My voice was not my own. It was very feminine. I quickly look left and right and confirm I¡¯m in the cave I saw Latasha in. I close my eyes and breathe in slowly then out. I open my eyes and slowly look down. I see light red skin almost pink in color. I also see the mounds and naked body I was afraid I was going to see. ¡°FUCK!¡± I get out of the kneeling position and stand up looking at my new hands. There were claws that were strait on my fingers instead of curved or jagged. No way am I going to make a fist with these hands. I poke my left palm with one claw and I¡¯m rewarded with blood and pain. Crap this is going to be difficult. I look around and see what I¡¯m assuming was Latasha¡¯s clothes just outside of the carved symbol on the ground. I walk up to it what I think are her shoes. They looked like sandals, yet they had a lot of straps that would go half way up my shins. Tied on the top of the foot and behind the shins it looks like. I frown and pick up the clothes. There are two pieces here. ¡°Hello?¡± I drop the clothes and nearly jump at the sudden voice in my head. ¡°You can hear me right?¡± There was that voice again. I looked around and still saw no one.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. ¡°Yes¡­?¡± I said the word slowly as I am unsure what is going on. ¡°Thank you for choosing to help me. Nefra told me that you are her champion. Not in my wildest dreams did I think I was going to be given to her very own champion.¡± I smile and clap before realizing that the urge to do so did not come from me. What was that? I felt her excitement? ¡°Oh? Sorry about that. Nefra told me that I can talk to you for a while and at certain times. I¡¯m to help you adapt and learn about my life so you can blend in. I will still be here but you will live my life.¡± Great not only am I in the body of a woman, but the previous tenant is still here. I sigh as I pick up the clothes again. ¡°How do I put these on?¡± There are five pieces of clothes. One was a single piece that I had to put on first. I had to put my tail through a ring, and pull part of it between my legs, and into another ring in the front than wrap it around my waist back to the ring at my tail. I than had to take the other side that was attached to my tail ring and align another ring into the small of my back just slightly below my shoulder blades. I than had to wrap cloth over each shoulder over each breast. I was momentarily distracted as I cupped both breasts. They felt good. ¡°Please continue to dress please.¡± I felt embarrassment more hers then my own. I covered my breasts with the cloth and proceeded to gripe and complain a little as I strained and tied it off to the ring on my back. ¡°That was a pain and extremely hard to do especially with these hands.¡± I do a little stretching to test movement. All my privates are covered and don¡¯t come undone, yet I was more limited bending forward sense everything is tied off to the two rings at my tail and back. ¡°I usually have my servants dress me. Know the arms¡± Right she is the daughter of a daemon warlord. I pick up two smaller pieces of cloth. Well they were just arm sleeves that secured just under my armpits. They two were a little hard to tie one claw handed without cutting myself. The sleeves were artfully designed with symbols and motifs that I assume are specific for the Bloodclaw tribe. The last two were leggings that secured to the ring below my navel and at my tail. They held identical designs to the sleeves just larger. I looked myself over and frowned. ¡°I know it¡¯s warm here but are these clothes a little to raveling?¡± I feel the emotion of confusion. ¡°What are you talking about? It¡¯s too warm here most of the year and these are traditional bloodclaw clothes. Anything more would just be a hassle to put on.¡± I sigh. At least they show off the cool tattoos. I looked about the shrine and spotted nothing else other than a wooden door. What to do now. Oh right Nefra said to spend my points. How do I do that? ¡°Latasha how do I look at my status?¡± Right when I ask that a status screen popped into view. ¡°Never mind let¡¯s see what we got.¡±

¡°Looks like you put your points into intelligence and wisdom. What are these plus 5 percent¡¯s that I see?¡± ¡°Those are because of my tattoos. I acquired them on my 14th birthday from the former demon lord. He was a friend of my fathers and came to visit before he went to the battle he died in. I have always wanted to be a mage so he gifted them to me as a present. Wow you have 36 stat points to distribute.¡± I wonder were those come from. I¡¯m going to assume it¡¯s from being a champion of Nefra.
Champion of Nefra
All gods and goddesses have champions to show there might on the world. As long as they head there gods commands and retain their favor they may remain a champion with all of the benefits. Each champion has stats and ability¡¯s given to them by their perspective god or goddess determined. The first Champion of Nefra gains +4 stat points per level Resistance to Mind magic and abilities that affect the mind is raised to 99% Resistance to Soul Magic and abilities is raised to 95% Negates almost all negative bonuses to learning Spells, abilities, and skills regardless of Class.
¡°Neat I can learn practically anything and have a larger stat pool that anyone else.¡± ¡°Wow normally champions get 1 to 3 extra stat points not 4.¡± I wonder where I should place the stat points? ¡°I would suggest you place your points into Wisdom and Intelligence. It is what I have been building up to and learning about. Members of the Bloodclaw bloodline prefer to become spellcasters, or assassins, or martial artist types because of our claws.¡± ¡°What does every stat do?¡± ¡°I have learned the answer to that in my studies. Strength measures physical power, your ability to lift and carry heavy things. Dexterity is how nimble, and fast you are, as well as your reflexes. Endurance is basically determines your stamina. How long you can last doing an activity, walking, running, climbing, dancing, and others. Endurance is usually a must have. We daemons ae lucky we get one point into it each level. Intelligence determines how fast you can think, and your mana supply. Wisdom one of the most versatile. It determines your mana regen, and magic resistances, as well as your ability to cast and learn spells. The higher your wisdom the more spells you can learn. Well Intelligence also determines that as well. They both go hand in hand. It¡¯s usually a good idea to not let it fall to far behind your Intelligence.¡± Interesting but not unexpected I guess. ¡°And the hidden stats?¡± ¡°Constitution, Charisma, and Luck. Constitution effects your health. Granted you gain health every level up regardless, yet you can affect it more directly by adding points in to Constitution. Almost every one unlocks the stat at level 10. The last two stats are also unlocked at level 10. Unfortunately no one can add points to either luck or Charisma. They have set values that can only be changed buy your actions, and/or time. Charisma is basically how you look and you influence on other people. Luck well is just your overall luck in life I guess.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± I guess I should distribute my points. chapter 2 part 2 Chapter 2 part 2 ¡°Hmm seeing how you want to be a magic caster and magic is awesome, shall put some into intelligence and wisdom but not everything.¡± i feel sadness and happy ness all at once. ¡°Thank you. Thank you champion. I just wish I could enjoy it.¡± ¡°Dont worry girl. Do you still see what i see?¡± ¡°Yes¡± ¡°Do you not still feel everything i feel?¡± I rub my/ her hands together. ¡° YES! Even your emotions. I just no longer have control. Nefra told me that our souls will slowly merge with you being primary. It will make you stronger on your next one. Whatever she meant by that.¡± I frown at that. ¡°So eventually we shall be one and the same. So that means you will have your goal.¡± I can feel acceptance from her/ me. This is confusing and can get annoying. She already made me clap involitarly. ¡°I shall distribute the points now.

Is there a way to see them?¡± ¡°Yes just think of a window to show all skills and it should pop up.¡± I think the work Skill list in my head and imagine it popping up. A menu popped up.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. ¡°That...was more detailed than I expected. Looking at these skills makes me think you were not an active child, and stayed up alot reading books. Your physical fighting ability is has much to be desired, and it seems like you can''t dodge to save your life, but this seems like alot of spells for a level 9 to have.¡± ¡°You are right champion it is a lot of spells for a level 9 to have. I have spent a lot of my time reading and practicing magic to fulfill my dream. A Lot of my other skills i had to learn as the daughter of a warlord.¡± ¡°Is there a way to reduce this large ass list of skills?¡± ¡°Yes all you have to do is think of the specific type of skills and spells you want to look at and it will reduce as it filters.¡± ¡°Good good, besides your bad fighting ability you have some decent spells to start with. How do i cast a spell?¡± ¡°That''s easy since you are now me my knowledge of how to cast a spell should be instinctual for you.¡± Well that''s cool i just hope it works that way. ¡°It will.¡± Ack she''s still reading my mind. No she''s in my mind...err I guess. ¡°Ok since that''s out of the way.¡± I look about the room and find nothing i could use as a weapon besides the bowl before Nefras statue with a burning liquid in it.walking up to the small brazier i kneel down. ¡°If i remember right you are trapped in here by two thugs.¡± I feel sadness and a little fear. I shake myself and breath deep to shake of her feelings. ¡°Yes Eggbert has two of his thugs outside preventing me from leaving to select a champion to defend me.¡± I hear a scream outside. Emotion of fear and guilt almost trip me up. ¡°What was that?¡± ¡°My Maid Mees is still outside, they..they have been using her.¡± I hear more screaming. I look back to the burning brazier and carry it to the door. ¡°Ouch that was hot.¡± I set it aside and inspect my hands before peeking thru a crack in the door. Outside i can see who was screaming it was a purple skinned woman with pink hair. She was bloody and naked underneath what i can only describe as a pig man. There was another holding her arms above her head. Both pig men were naked. ¡°Those are the two Broja warriors.¡± I looked at them with more intensity and a name tag with there class appeared above their heads. One was level 12 the other 13, both are warrior class. Where are their clothes and weapons? I look around and spot them by a firepit and a post embedded into the ground. ¡°They tied her up each night so she could not get away. She¡­ she distracted them so I could get away.¡± I feel more of her guilt and her hatred and fear of the two Broja warriors. There are two speirs and two shields with what i''m assuming is the Broja coat of arms laying on the ground next to a heap of clothes. The Broja are in the middle of an outcrop of a cliff. On one side the cliff goes further up then i could see from my vantage point with a straight drop on the other side. On the opposite side from me there looks to be rope bridge that looks like it leads to a path that looks to lead down the mountain or hill we are on. There is one problem the two Broja are in the way. Ok they are currently distracted. This gives me a few options to get out of this situation.
