《Practically, I am weak because "I AM A WEED!" [Author Disappeared. ]》


 Chapter 1.1: I am weak, eh?

    Chapter 1: I am weak eh? [Part 1]


    Fluffy clouds floated across the bright blue sky, as the gentle breeze swayed me side to side, three black lines appeared next to my forehead.


    {WHY THE HECK I¡¯M A WEED?!}


    Alright, calm down. I should breathe in, Fuu¡­ and slowly breath it out, Ha...


    {HOW THE HECK CAN I CALM DOWN?!!}


    As far as I could remember, I was a perfect woman and a normal human being. I don¡¯t know how long I have passed out, but as soon as I regained the consciousness, I was immobilized. I can¡¯t move no matter how I tried, then I noticed something strange. Which was, my view was only as high as the grasses and weeds around me and¡­ I¡¯VE NO LONGER HAVE A HEAD.


    The strangest part of all, when I tried to move my hands, all I see in front of me was two weed-like leaf waving and moving as I wanted it to. Though I don¡¯t want to admit it but something prove it and I couldn¡¯t deny it that I have become¡­ A WEED!


    Practically, just a weed.


    Ha¡­ How could this happen to me? I remembered that before I lose my consciousness, I was binge-eating hamburgers at the maid cafe two building away from my office and there was a call came from my cute junior. She asked me to treat her for a lunch as she had workloaded up on her table. Hence, I bought her just a simple meal and return to the office¡­ Wait, wait a second there.


    I can¡¯t remember anything passed after I exited the cafe. I don¡¯t remember a single thing happened after that but I do feel an intense pain that I couldn¡¯t forget even till now. Perhaps, I died along the way and was now reincarnated as a weed.


    {...}


    I¡¯ve understood that I have now reincarnated and maybe this world is not even the Earth that I used to live at, but, I don¡¯t understand just one particular thing. WHY THE FUCK MUST I BECOME A WEED?! I don¡¯t even smoke! I¡¯m not even an environmentalist, and if this is karma, what have I even done to a grass in my past life?!


    I never knew that I would say this one day¡­ I truly missed becoming a human. I loved my past self a lot despite the weaknesses that I had.


    I remembered clearly that I was a five-foot-nine woman, quiet but not an anti-social, ¡°docile¡± but loved action and adventurous games. Men found me attractive and told me that I looked like a model! Though, never in my lifetime did I find a man for me. Uuu, I want to cry.


    {Haa¡­}Alright, off we go with the sad life. Let¡¯s see if I can move around a little.{Mgh, ug¡­ uuuuuuuuu¡­. urgh! ngh¡­grr} *grunting noises


    A few hours later...


    Regretfully saying, I have failed miserably.


    I tried to move my root left and right but all I did was grow my roots to find water sources. Huhu¡­


    Seriously, God. Can I just ask you one question? There was a list of many other living things you could have to turn me into. Why did you turn me into a weed? Not only I couldn¡¯t move, I couldn¡¯t talk too! Plus, there were no living things that I could talk to here! Even though there are the plants, that doesn¡¯t counted as things that I could talk to! Well.. if there was any, I would be eaten by now.


    {Ha¡­}


    Aye, no God will answer me. If there were any, I will curse him till he regrets to have ever created me. Well now, I¡¯m better off living by myself, for now, I just need to know if I could ever walk in this new form. If I couldn¡¯t move my root left to right, perhaps upward will do?


    NGHHHHHHHHH... As I grunted as hard as I could inside my mind, imagining the roots being pulled upward.


    Unfortunately, the answer is a big [Nope], nothing happened.


    ¡­


    Even though there was no wind blowing, I¡¯m able to wave my leaf from left to right as I wanted. And when I felt dry, I could grow my roots downward until it finds water sources. I didn¡¯t know how to describe the method to do it but, it comes naturally for me. I fill myself by sucking in the water contained in the wet soil. After I finish, I shortened the root back to its normal length.


    When I moved my leaf, I didn¡¯t feel like moving my hand and I had this unnatural and uncomfortable feeling as if I was moving my entire head, body part and including the hand. When I grow my roots it feels as if I have countless legs and am able to control each end of the root separately, it is really unpleasant and bizarre feeling for me.


    So, I concluded the leaf as my upper body part which included my head and hands while the roots work as my legs. But if I can¡¯t get out of the earth, I will never meet my hairy legs. Haha. Enough joking, this is a serious matter as I need to get out of the earth to meet something alive. Staying here will cause me to lose my mind.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    {Hm¡­? Staying will cause me to go insane...}


    Could it be that the other weeds here are also alive but they weren¡¯t able to get out and then went insane? HA?! That is highly possible since we had no mouth so we couldn¡¯t talk to each other and how would we know there actually other people here, ugh, ugh, ugh, come on legs, WORK! I DON¡¯T WANT TO BECOME A FOOL!


    Sob, sob, I want to cry, I want eyes so that I could cry! I want mouth so badly so that I could curse¡­ I want to be human!!


    [One particular hour later...]


    Now that I have calmed down, I discovered some good news. I could grow and shrink the root anyway I wanted, either long or short as I desired. Not to mention, I am able to grow it left to right side of the earth and even extended far away till the huge tree approximately 100 meters away from me but¡­ {I STILL CAN¡¯T GET OUT OF THE FUDGING EARTH!}


    ...


    There was something that I had in my mind for a while but haven¡¯t tried it because I doubted that it will work exactly as I wish it would. The idea was, to shrink the root as small as possible could possibly get me out of the earth. The shortest roots for the record that I have tried is just the normal length of the normal condition of the root.


    Only thinking is also useless, so, I will try now.


    I shrinked it a bit and then I feel nauseated. Urgh, I get the cramped-like feel when I try to shrink it more than the normal length. Shortening my leg had causing me to queer with ill and intensely freaking me out as if it become small and short, you know what I mean?


    {No, you don¡¯t because you are a human!}


    Actually, who the hell that I have been talking to-- Never mind, it is better to talk than go insane.


    The feel of the roots being shortened¡­ I have said it for the countless times already but this really am freaky. Oh wait, I get the feeling that this will work, my legs are already near the end of the first thin layer of the earth. Forcing my hand to push downward as the legs gradually shrink and almost disappear from my body part, I chanted and prayed in extremely fast paced. {FIGHTING! COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT! UP! UP! UP! UP!!!! GO UP!!!!!!} *Pop*


    Instantaneously, when I pulled myself upward, I was rolled like a ball backward and ended up bumping against a stone of my size, Ouch! Even though, I am just a leaf, bumped against a stone hurted me but I quickly recovered from the pain and it make me wondered about the grass back in the earth. They were also stepped on¡­ Urghh¡­ must be extremely painful too...


    Anyway¡­kukukukuku¡­.kuhahahahahah! HURRAY!!! It does worked! Truly, it¡¯s worked out well! Hellish but extremely well! That felt like it took decades. But, congratulations, the genius me! However¡­ now, I have no root. -sobs-


    Let¡¯s see if I can grow it back even though I¡¯m out of the earth. Urgh, I shuddered in disgusted as the feeling was incomparable freakiness when I tried to grow the legs out of the earth. *Susssusuusus [effect sound of root slithering] --- ¡­ It was much easier than shortening them and as expected, it growed perfectly, yep. For now, let¡¯s try to stand.


    Wait, a baby starts by crawling right? Should I do that but it will take more time and double the work¡­ but if by sense, I am a baby, right? A newborn weed equals a baby human, right? Or maybe not since plants lifespan are different by the type and most lived much longer than human¡­ so am I or am I not a baby¡­ oh, I¡¯m getting far from the main point here, should I walk or should I crawl.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­...


    After wasting another hour by debating with my mind, I made up my mind for a decision to try to walk. For now, the basic is to stand and I have yet standing since the moment I got out of the earth.


    By pushing down the earth floor using both my feeble-looking leafs I try to stand with my twelve feeble-looking roots, I was shaking terribly as there was nothing that help supports me and after a long repetition of pause I try again. FINALLY! I was able to stand.


    Well, I was only standing but have yet to walk.


    The question is, can I walk? For now, divided the twelve roots by two part and I get a pair of the leg. Alright, simple! Next, let¡¯s get the right side to move forward. {Wooohohoho, oops, damn it,} I still feel awkward with these new legs so it is no wonder that I fall¡­ Let stand up again! I wobble terribly like a baby.


    First, the right side moves forward. To control each strand of the root is easy even though it takes time for me to get used to the freaky feeling, I was able to get the right side move forward. Second, the left side to move forward. Then right, then left, and right, and left.


    ¡­ An hour later.


    {Haha¡­}


    {Hahahahah¡­}


    {I-I can walk! Mommy, I can walk!!!}


    {I AM A GENIUS!!!!} I cheer inside my mind while walking left and right at fast paced until I got too excited that I bump against the stone again.


    {Oww} It¡¯s hurt but, I definitely able to walk, {mommy!!} Oh, do I have a mom here as well? Do plants have a parent, though?


    {Nope, I don¡¯t think so.} Though I might be called as a bud [child of the plant, hehe how smart am I?], there is basically no life here that I can call as my relative. I have left the group of weeds that I born with, whether they are sane or they are not alive, I could never count them as my relative. But, for a weed to actually able to walk, this world is surely not the planet earth that I know of.


    I wondered if this is a fantasy world. If so, aren¡¯t this exciting? I really loved adventures as well as I played the online rpg-games. Which is why, most of the times because I played as male character, I enjoyed fighting rather than romances hence I am all alone for the rest of my life¡­


    As I was trotting with no specific destination in my mind and observed the scenery that was full with tall trees and grasses all over the place. I was bored and so, I listed the game and its specialties.


    I remembered this one game which was really popular among teenages and was my first time ever playing such genre. It is an rpg games like Dota, and minecraft but the games rather used skills and have to grind to level up. I particularly remembered that since then, there are many comics about the games and I whom always loved the games ended up becoming a self-pledged otaku because of the comics.


    What I like the most is the fantasy where one could asked for a skill, to¡­ hmm, what does it called again?


    Aha, Skills Gained Voice of Heaven.


    Ttring!


    ¡ºNone¡»


    Huh? What the, HECK?!


    What is this? Abruptly appeared out of nowhere was a transparent blue window in front of me. My hands trembled hard as I couldn¡¯t trust what I have seen. I did have a hunch about this world not the planet earth I known of but¡­ to think that¡­ this is indeed¡­


    AN RPG WORLD!!!

 Chapter 1.2: I am weak, eh?

    Chapter 1: I am weak, eh? [Part 2]


    How fascinating! This couldn¡¯t be any better, even though I am a weed, probably the weakest intelligent being ever existed in the whole world¡­ I¡¯m now feeling blissful. Perhaps, this is the world where monsters and magic existed, which is why phenomenon as me was possible.


    Voice of Heaven existed, so it¡¯s not impossible!


    I¡¯m guessing that the skill system exists here, also the skill proficiency and whatsoever like too. Shall I tested them out? If I imitated the common scene where the main character gained skill, it should be like this. ¡°Voice of Heaven, I would like to gain a skill¡±


    Ttring!


    ¡ºSkill Point: 100


    Would you like to use it for a random skill?


    Yes|No ¡»


    {No! Sorry}, that was only a trial, but {thank you very-very-very much for responding!!}


    Like I guessed, this world has an RPG setting. The heaven¡¯s voice with robot like generated voice proves it. Having experienced many odd things in a day has changed my mindset, even hearing VoH voice just by pure coincidence while I was bored. Alright, gaming master, this is your time. Pull out that brain of yours for my sake.


    ¡­


    Thus, I ended up remembered few cliche things about the main character of the comic that I read.


    They ended up regretting choosing a skill which called ¡°appraisal¡± just because they want to know what they are. Oh come on, I already know that currently, I am practically a weed, so there was no need to know of such a thing. Though ¡°appraisal¡± is tempting but can¡¯t choose it as I am the weakest of the weakest being that was created in the whole world. If there is World¡¯s Book of Record here, I¡¯m hundred percent sure that I will be inside of it as the weakest living thing in history.


    Forget it, after cramming this brain of mine, there were a whole bunch of skills in my mind but only some of that are probably good for me. Such as "absorb", "cloning", "camouflage", "parasite", "adapt", "alertness", "disguise" and "sneak". I might also want the "intimidate" as a skill but I¡¯m not sure how well it will turn out for me. If I used it, will there be anyone who scared of me? Haha¡­ No way.


    Hence after listing up the skill in my mind, I think about the effect of the skill. It''s a 50/50 chance that the skills I thought of will not work as I thought it would. Plus I was wondering why the points that I have is 100, it was a wild guess but I think an average skill will cost me 100 points each. I couldn''t do anything else than praying to my unreliable luck, amen.


    "Cloning" is incredibly good, I could try cloning myself and build an army with it but if we were to meet a rabbit, we would definitely be eaten by it. Haha¡­ Cute fluffy rabbit, I hope you are not here...


    "Camouflage" might be good too but there were circumstances like the fire that either nature phenomenon or man-made would definitely burn me alive [that would not be good, ugh¡­]. "Alertness" is an alternative skill so I will leave it for now. "Parasite" is good, "adapt" is good. "Disguise"? I¡¯m pretty sure if I obtain that skill I will be OP but what can a weed disguise into?


    "Sneak"? Nah¡­ Too bad but it was also an alternative skill.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    So left us with "Parasite" and "Adapt", I guess?


    Alright, eenie meenie miny mo, who I choose for will you ever know?


    ¡­¡­...


    {VoH [Voice of Heaven], I would like to use skill point for parasite!}


    ¡ºSkill Point: 100. Parasite LV 1 is available; would you like to use it? ¡»


    {YES!}


    Ttring!


    ¡ºParasite LV 1 acquired¡»


    So, what do I do now?


    {He¡­ Hehe¡­ I¡¯m stupid.


    Practically stupid.}


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.


    As for why ¡®parasite¡¯ over ¡®adapt¡¯ is I don¡¯t know how ¡®adapt¡¯ work. While I kind of has a vague guess how parasite works. Since I have adopted this kid [parasite-chan], should I just try an error? Like, "parasite" on! No way, right?


    Hm? Eh? Somehow, I-I ended up perched on a tree. And I feel nutrient or energy¡­ whatever it was, it surging into me!


    ¡­


    Phew, after only one minute the tree quickly dried up and wilted away.


    I don¡¯t feel any different. No bad effect or whatsoever but I could say for sure that the skill worked. Fufufu¡­ being a weed supposed to rhyme with weak [JK, hehe] but SEE?! THAT¡¯S WHAT I¡¯M TALKING ABOUT!! DON¡¯T ****ING CHOOSE APPRAISAL BUT CHOOSE WHAT SUIT YOU MOST!!


    Few people will understand what I¡¯m feeling at this current moment. God knows how I felt but it¡¯s not like he cared.


    I walked with ease after gaining a skill. As a weed, I don¡¯t have the need to sleep, eat or poop, since I don¡¯t even have an organ to excrete, not to mention I also don¡¯t have food to digest. For energy, I simply have to bath under the sun or searching for water sources using my root.


    While walking, I felt emotional as I am terribly lonely right now. For most the reason I feel lonely, I was actually a chatter box in past life even though I am docile and quieter than most women but I am myself a woman. If I am with my close friend or family, there wasn¡¯t a doubt that I am a chatterbox. To not have people to talk with, this is the first time that I feel lonely.


    Plus, there wasn¡¯t a single being that I could found after an hour walking. Though I called it as walking, if compare with human maybe I was trotting or as fast as snail only. After all, I might only be a size of a little dwarf fairy.


    ARGH~! BE ITS MONSTER OR BEAST, ANY LIVING THING WILL DO! I JUST WANT SOME LIVING THING ACROSS ME!!


    ¡­


    This is so boring¡­ Perhaps I don¡¯t eat much salt in my past life, that is why my cursed won¡¯t come true.


    I got too bored that I became lazy to even walk. Well, it was only for short time since I would rather walk than do nothing. But as I walk, my mind constantly questioning ¡°Why didn¡¯t I just choose appraisal¡±. If I had "appraisal", I could hear some voices even if it was a skill talking.


    Regret was my only option but I don¡¯t really felt that way because I was satisfied with parasite-chan.


    If I counted it right, it has been 7 hours since I became a weed. It was evening when I first realized it and now it should be midnight BUT IT¡±S NOT. It still in the evening, I can tell because the sun was still visible in the sky. Ever since my cursing, I was using my parasite-chan constantly that it has reached level 5.


    I realized a few things while raising my skill.


    The higher the skill level is, the harder it is to raise it, and it also depends on what type of thing that I used my skill on. For example, if I used parasite on a fruit it wilts faster but the skill raised slower yet if I used parasite on the tree it wilts slower but the skill raised faster. If I don¡¯t play the games, I will never have this kind of wide pieces of knowledge and will never be guessed on how things work. ALL HAIL GAMERS!


    And so, I kept focusing on parasit-ing the trees. Fufufu, poor trees. If only you could talk, I would be cursed throughout the process. I have settled down after 7 hours becoming a weed. Now I could walked faster, run, jump and even jump on a tree to another tree. What amazes me is that I was only a size of the tree leaf?


    Hmm? It so windy tonight, feels like a storm brewing in. Eh¡­ could it be¡­ my enemy wasn¡¯t rabbit, monster or even fire but¡­ THIS STUPID HELLISH WIND?!!!


    AAHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­


    urgh¡­ I¡­ as a weed.


    I am weak, eh?

 Chapter 1: Im Weak, eh?

    Chapter 1: I am weak eh?


    The sky is blue, fluffy clouds. Such a gentle breeze on what a wonderful day. So¡­


    {WHY THE HECK, I''M A WEED?!}


    Alright, calm down. Takes a deep breath, Fuu¡­ Slowly breath it out, Ha...


    {HOW THE HECK CAN I CALM DOWN?!!}


    Just now, I was binge eating hamburgers at the maid cafe and there was a call from a cute junior at my workplace. She asked me to buy her a meal because she had a lot of workloads and couldn¡¯t eat lunch. So, I bought her set A, the happy meal. On the way to my office¡­ wait a sec, I couldn¡¯t remember that part. [What happen eh?]


    I¡¯m pretty sure that I was walking to the office since it only two building away from the company. But, no matter how I¡¯ve tried, I couldn¡¯t remember what happen. I only realized that I had already become a weed.


    [Practically just a weed.]


    Could it be that I died along the way and now I got reincarnated? Like those kinds of RPG web novels with the common plot where mc reincarnated into a non-human, anyhow, {WHY THE **** MUST I BE A WEED?! Plus, I was a woman!}


    Don¡¯t doubt me. I may not look like it or sound like it but I am a woman.


    It¡¯s just that, I was a tall woman with 5.9-foot height, quieter but not anti-socialize, ¡°docile¡± but curse a lot in my mind and last but not the least, I love action and adventurous games. I do look attractive like a model though it just when I wore makeup. Hence, never in my lifetime that I had a man for me. Uuu, I want to cry.


    {Haa¡­}


    Alright, off we go with the sad life. Let see if I can move around a little.


    {Mgh, ug¡­ uuuuuuuuu¡­. urgh! ngh¡­grr} *grunting noises


    3 hours later.


    Regretfully saying, I have failed miserably.


    Honestly, you must be wondering how I know I have turned into a weed right? Well, first of all, at my surrounding there''s only weed. Secondly, my point of view is as high as the weed around me. Last but not least, although I don¡¯t have the eye, I could see all part of my body including my root and my vein. I don¡¯t know if you could count it as seeing but I could somehow envision around me and myself.


    I had tried to move my root left and right but all I could do was grew my roots to find water sources. Huhu¡­


    Seriously, God. Can I just ask you one question? There was a list of many other living things you could have to turn me into. Why did you must let me become a weed? Not only that I couldn¡¯t move I couldn¡¯t talk too! Plus, there were no living things that I could talk to here! Well.. if there was any, I would be eaten by now.


    {Ha¡­}


    Aye, no God will answer me. If there were any, I will curse him till he regrets to have ever created me.


    Well now, I better off living by myself, for now, I just need to know if I could ever walk in this new form. If I couldn¡¯t move my root left to right, perhaps upward will do?


    NGHHHHHHHHH... As I grunt inside my mind, I tried thinking inside my head and imagine the roots being pulled upward.


    Yet again, the answer is a big [Nope], nothing happened.


    ¡­


    Even though there was no wind blowing, I was able to wave my leaf from left to right as I want. And when I feel dry, I could grow my roots downward until it finds water sources. I don¡¯t know how do I know the method to do it but, it comes naturally for me. I fill myself by sucking in the water contained in the wet soil.

Enough joking, this is a serious matter as I need to get out of the earth to meet something alive. Staying here will cause me to lose my mind.


    {Hm¡­? Staying will cause me to go insane...}


    Could it be that the other weeds here are also alive but they weren¡¯t able to get out and then went insane? HA?! That is highly possible since we had no mouth so we couldn¡¯t talk to each other and how would we know there actually other people here, ugh, ugh, ugh, come on legs, WORK! I DON¡¯T WANT TO BECOME A FOOL!


    Sob, sob, I want to cry, I want eyes so that I could cry! I want mouth so badly so that I could curse¡­ I want to be a human!!


    [One particular hour later...]


    Now that I have calmed down, I get some good news. I could grow and shrink the root anyhow I want, as long and as short as I desired, also able to grow it left to right side of the earth even extended far away till the huge tree approximately 100 meters away from me but¡­ {I STILL CAN¡¯T GET OUT OF THE FUDGING EARTH!}


    ...


    There is something that I had in my mind for a while but haven¡¯t tried it because I doubt that it will work exactly as I wish it would. The idea is, will shrink the root as small as possible get me out of the earth? The shortest roots for the record that I have tried is just the normal length of the normal condition of the root.

    Urgh, I get the cramped-like feel when I try to shrink it more than the normal length. The feeling of my leg being shortened is seriously making me feel ill and intensely freaky as if you get some really small and short legs, you know what I mean? {No, you don¡¯t because you are a human!} Actually, who on the hell that I have been talking to-- Never mind, better talking than goes insane.


    The feel of the roots being shortened¡­ I have said it for the countless times already but it really is freaky. {Hmm?} Oh wait, I get the feeling that this will work, my legs are already near the end of the first thin layer of the earth.

GO UP!!!!!!} *Pop*


    {Whoops, oops, oops¡­} *rolls backward*


    {Whew¡­} when I pulled myself upward, I rolled like a sushi roll and bump with a stone¡­ {Fufufu.}


    {Kukukuku¡­ Kuhahahaha! YAYYYYYYYYY!!! IT DOES WORK!!! Truly, it works! It damns hell work! This BRAIN DOES NOT EXIST FOR NOTHING BABY! THAT FELT LIKE IT TOOK DECADES} but now I have no root¡­ -sobs-


    {Hm¡­} let¡¯s see if I can grow it back even though I¡¯m out of the earth. {Urgh} I shuddered in disgust as the feeling is incomparable freakiness when I tried to grow the legs out of the earth. *Susssusuusus [effect sound of root slithering] --- ¡­ It was much easier than shortening them and as expected, it grows perfectly, yep.

    ¡­...


    After wasting another hour by debating with my mind, I made up my mind for a decision to try to walk. For now, the basic is to stand and I have yet standing since the moment I got out of the earth.

I have left the group of weeds that I born with, whether they are sane or they are not alive, I could never count them as my relative. But, for a weed to actually able to walk, this world is surely not the planet earth that I know of. Perhaps, it is the world where monsters and magic exist, which is why phenomenon as me is possible.


    So, just thinking ah, if this world is like what I thought.


    "An RPG World"


    I¡¯m guessing that the skill system exists here, also the skill proficiency and whatsoever like too.


    {Shall I test them out?}


    Wait, first thing first. Don¡¯t be like those stupid main characters that choose appraisal just because you want to know what you are. I already know that currently, I am practically a weed, so there is no need to know of such a thing. Though appraisal is tempting but I am the weakest of the weakest being that was created in the whole world, if there is World¡¯s Book of Record here, surely I will be inside of it as the weakest living thing in history.


    So¡­ World System administrator.


    {I would like to obtain a skill, please!}


    ¡­


    No one answers me? Did I guess it, wrong? Then, how about Skill System?


    {I would like to obtain a skill, please!}


    ¡­


    Yet again, no one replies.


    Perhaps, this world is not an RPG world but is a magic world¡­ but¡­ that¡¯s incredibly disappointing. Alrighty, the last try, if this one doesn¡¯t work then I give up.


    {Voice of Heaven, I would like to gain a skill}


    ¡ºSkill Point: 100


    Would you like to use it for a random skill?


    Yes|No ¡»


    {No! Sorry}, that was only a trial, but {thank you very-very-very much for responding!!}


    {Hu¡­. HURRAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}


    Like I guessed, this world has an RPG setting. The heaven¡¯s voice with robot like generated voice proves it. Having experienced many odd things in a day has changed my mindset, even hearing VoH voice just by pure instinct. Alright, gaming master, this is your time. Pull out that brain of yours for my sake.


    And so¡­ After an hour cramming my brain.


    There are a whole series of skills in my mind but only some of that are good for me. Such as "absorb", "cloning", "camouflage", "parasite", "adapt", "alertness", "disguise" and "sneak". I might also want the "intimidate" as a skill but I¡¯m not sure how well it will turn out for me.


    ...


    After listing up the skill in my mind, I think about the effect of the skill. It''s a 50/50 chance that the skills I thought of will not work as I thought it would. Plus I was wondering why the points that I have is 100, it was a wild guess but I think an average skill will cost me 100 points each. I couldn''t do anything else than praying to my unreliable luck, amen.


    "Cloning" is incredibly good but if I were to meet a rabbit, for example, I, including my clones would definitely be eaten by it. Haha¡­ Cute fluffy rabbit, I hope you are not here...


    "Camouflage" might be good too but there were circumstances like the fire that either nature phenomenon or man-made would definitely burn me alive [that would not be good, ugh¡­]. "Alertness" is an alternative skill so I will leave it for now. "Parasite" is good, "adapt" is good. "Disguise"? I¡¯m pretty sure if I obtain that skill I will be OP but what can a weed disguise into?


    "Sneak"? Nah¡­ Too bad but it was also an alternative skill.


    So left us with "Parasite" and "Adapt", I guess?


    Alright, eenie meenie miny mo, who I choose for will you ever know?


    ¡­¡­...


    {VoH [Voice of Heaven], I would like to use skill point for parasite!}


    ¡ºSkill Point: 100. Parasite LV 1 is available; would you like to use it? ¡»


    {YES!}


    Ttring!


    ¡ºParasite LV 1 acquired¡»


    So, what do I do now?


    {He¡­ Hehe¡­ I¡¯m stupid.


    Practically stupid.}


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.


    As for why ¡®parasite¡¯ over ¡®adapt¡¯ is I don¡¯t know how ¡®adapt¡¯ work. While I kind of has a vague guess how parasite works. Since I have adopted this kid [parasite-chan], should I just try an error? Like, "parasite" on! No way, right?


    Hm? Eh? Somehow, I-I ended up perched on a tree. And I feel nutrient or energy¡­ whatever it was, it surging into me!


    ¡­


    Phew, after only one minute the tree quickly dried up and wilted away.


    I don¡¯t feel any different. No bad effect or whatsoever but I could say for sure that the skill is working. Fufufu¡­ being a weed supposed to rhyme with weak [JK, hehe] but SEE?! THAT¡¯S WHAT I¡¯M TALKING ABOUT!! DON¡¯T ****ING CHOOSE APPRAISAL BUT CHOOSE WHAT SUIT YOU MOST!!


    Few people will understand what I¡¯m feeling at this current moment. God knows how I feel but it¡¯s not like he cares.


    I walk with ease after gaining a skill. As a weed, I don¡¯t have the need to sleep, eat or poop, since I don¡¯t even have an organ to excrete, not to mention I also don¡¯t have food to digest. For energy, I simply have to bath under the sun or searching for water sources using my root.


    Say¡­ I am terribly lonely right now. For most the reason I feel lonely, I was actually a chatter box in past life even though I am docile and quieter than most women but I am myself a woman. If I am with my close friend or family, there wasn¡¯t a doubt that I am a chatterbox. To not have people to talk with, this is the first time that I feel lonely.


    Plus, there wasn¡¯t a single being that I could found after an hour walking. Though I call it walking, if compare with human maybe I was trotting or as fast as snail only. After all, I might only be a size of a little dwarf fairy.


    ARGH~! BE ITS MONSTER OR BEAST, ANY LIVING THING WILL DO! I JUST WANT SOME LIVING THING ACROSS ME!!


    ¡­


    This is so boring¡­ Perhaps I don¡¯t eat much salt in my past life, that is why my curse won¡¯t come true.


    I got too bored that I became lazy to even walk. Well, it was only for short time since I would rather walk than do nothing. But as I walk, my mind constantly questioning ¡°Why didn¡¯t I just choose appraisal¡±. If I had "appraisal", I could hear some voices even if it was a skill talking.


    Regret is my only option but I don¡¯t really feel that way because I was satisfied with parasite-chan.


    If I count it right, it has been 7 hours since I became a weed. It was evening when I first realized it and now it should be midnight BUT IT¡±S NOT. It is still evening, I can tell because the sun is still visible in the sky. Ever since my cursing, I was using my parasite-chan constantly that it has reached level 5.


    I realized a few things while raising my skill.


    The higher the skill level is, the harder it is to raise it, and it also depends on what type of thing that I use my skill on. Like if I use parasite on fruit it wilts faster but the skill raises slower yet if I use parasite on the tree it wilts slower but the skill raises faster. If I don¡¯t play the games, I will never have this kind of wide pieces of knowledge and will never be guessed on how things work. ALL HAIL GAMERS!


    And so, I kept focusing on parasit-ing the trees. Fufufu, poor trees. If only you could talk, I would be cursed throughout the process. I have settled down after 7 hours becoming a weed. I could also walk faster, run, jump and even jump on a tree to another tree. What amazes me is that I was only a size of the tree leaf?


    Hmm? It so windy tonight, feels like a storm brewing in. Eh¡­ could it be¡­ my enemy wasn¡¯t rabbit, monster or even fire but¡­ THIS STUPID HELLISH WIND?!!!


    AAHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­


    urgh¡­ I¡­ as a weed.


    I am weak, eh?

 Chapter 2: Other Skill

    Chapter 2: Other Skill?


    After the storm, I somehow landed right in front of a cave, traumatized by the wind, I quickly grew my roots in the earth each time I feel the air is a bit windy. A human couldn¡¯t possibly understand how I felt after being carried even by a gentle breeze. If I can forget things easily, I wish to forget about it. It was humiliating that I will not want to mention about it. I¡¯m ashamed because I¡¯m too weak!


    ENOUGH! Forget it! Shoo, go away, go far away memory.


    I sway my leafy hand left and right to destroy the cloud of memory to forget the humiliating event as I ran away from the reality by changing the topic.


    I stare the cave that is right in front of me, tempting me to enter it.


    Fufufu¡­ Though I am not a man, humans are beings that live to explore the unknown! But, life isn¡¯t a plaything. What if there was a monster? Hm¡­ Well oh well. I might as well blame the god because he was the one that turned me into this weak weed. JK. [Just kidding]


    I will not enter the cave. Not yet at anyway.


    In the past, before I enter the busy world of an adult, I used to play RPGs-genre games and read few comics that has RPG genre to it. So, even though I have long left the paradise of a gamer, this kind of occasion make my mind goes wild. I was going back and forth thinking the risk of entering this cave.


    My only skill is the level 5 parasite; if I enter an unknown cave and run into a beast, there is no doubt that it will send me packing to see the death god... Plus, my mobility isn¡¯t good, to begin with. I¡¯m definitely the fastest weed that exists in the whole universe, but in comparison with any other beast, I might be the slowest. I could never risk my life for this trial and error.


    ¡­


    So after a monumental battle between my mind and my heart, I had decided to gain another skill.


    {VoH! I would like to gain a skill!}


    ¡ºSkill Point: 100. Would you like to use the skill point on a random skill? ¡»


    {Ehem, no.} That would be bad if I gain a useless skill at this current moment. Is there a list of skill that I could use?


    {I would like to see the list of skill that I can use!}


    ¡ºSkill |S.Point


    Enhanced Vision 20


    Enhanced Smell 20


    Enhanced Hearing 20


    Enhanced Taste 20


    Enhanced Touch 20


    Fire Resistance 40


    more--- ¡»


    Oh! OH! OHHH! In front of me, there is a window of skills list.


    As I tapped on the [more] button lightly, it shows the next page of the skill. Here, I have 100 skill points, and there seem to be some good skills that are cheap! After a minute or so, the skill window disappeared from my sight.


    Rather than that, I think I¡¯m not quite ready for the cave just yet. First and foremost, I am a plant type monster which requires water and the sun as a life force. I don¡¯t know whether it has water in this cave or not, but certainly, there is no sun inside it.


    And so, I decided to continue to wander around this forest, at least until I have become strong! For my skills, I would like Enhanced Vision and Enhanced Hearing. But Appraisal-san is seriously tempting.


    Alright! I have decided!


    VoH! Use my skill points on Enhanced Vision, Enhanced Hearing, and Speed Movement!


    ¡ºEnhanced Vision Acquired¡»


    ¡ºEnhanced Hearing Acquired¡»


    ¡ºSpeed Movement Acquired¡»


    And so¡­! Wait, I don¡¯t feel any different at all, I wonder why?


    The thing is, Parasite-chan is an active offensive skill. The three babies [skills] that I just adopted earlier are passive skills. I don¡¯t know how to activate the skill since I have been doing the trial and error ever since I reincarnated as a weed. Passive skill should be automatically on, but there¡¯s no difference from before and after I got them!


    Let¡¯s see, Parasite-chan was activated intuitively by thinking that I want to activate it. By concentrating and move my body a little bit toward where I want to latch on, I can use Parasite. I came to a conclusion that if I use my mind to think what I want the skill to do, then they will do it exactly as I want them to. So, if I think I want to enhance my vision then will it do the same?


    *********


    Uwoooo¡­ Amazing~~ my circle of vision become larger and detailed! Ngh -grunt-, it works so well that I feel dizzy.


    ¡ºConcentration Acquired¡»


    ¡ºConfusion Resistance Acquired¡»


    Somehow, the dizziness has faded away a bit. Did I just gain skills just now? Yosh! I fisted up my leafy hand and pull it inward to me. If things keep heading in this direction, my cave adventure won¡¯t be far away! With both my hand fisted to the sky, I shouted, Banzai!!


    ....2 days later.


    Hm~ I¡¯m bathing in the warmth of the sun. My roots are also finding its way to the underground water. Umphs! I have filled my energy totally after one day and 43 hours of training. Oh, by the way, I realized yesterday that one cycle of the sun is approximately 48 hours. After one day and 43 hours of training, I rested my mind for 10 hours, and just now I had a bath under the sun. Though there are quite a few times, I was traumatized again by the wind, but gladly, my root stayed strong inside the earth. So, I¡¯m not worried at all.


    Anyway¡­ Fufufufufu, are you curious about me now? Have I become stronger? The answer is---I don¡¯t know.


    How can I know if I don¡¯t have an opponent to fight with?!


    VoH does its job seriously without slacking even a second. I constantly heard ¡®Skill Announcement:---¡¯ because of her. Because of that, I was able to know that my children¡¯s [skills] levels are growing up nicely, and apparently, I acquired some new skills during the training.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site?

    Parasite LV 5->LV 7

    Enhanced Hearing LV1-> LV 4


    Speed Movement LV 1-> Fast Movement LV 1


    Concentration LV 1-> LV 7

    Calculation LV 3 [NEW]


    Fool Dance LV 4[NEW]


    Pain Resistance LV 1 [NEW]


    Memorize LV2 [NEW]


    Calculation is the one that I obtained after counting how many hours I¡¯ve trained. Then I obtained Memorize after I¡¯ve listed all my skills. Awhile later, I gained pain resistance after I ran into a boulder while I was excited that I the speed movement evolved into Fast Movement. I was so excited that I danced and eventually I obtain the Fool Dance.


    Hehe¡­


    There wasn¡¯t anyone to see me, so I ignored the announcement and it raised up till Level 4.


    Parasite-chan was growing slower than the others because I was afraid of the consequences of wilting too many trees.


    Enhanced vision made me see further ahead and in more detail. At first, it made me dizzy and took me quite a while to get used to it. But this skill is especially useful. At night, I¡¯m still unable to see clearly because it¡¯s dark, but I¡¯m not worried at all since I got Enhanced Hearing that made me able to hear even the earthworms¡¯ movement underground made me glad that in my past life, I wasn¡¯t scared of insects. Then, because of Heresy resistance, I was able to use the skills comfortably. If there was any danger, I could just run away since I am now fast.


    By now, I gradually accepted the fact that I have become a weed.


    WOOOOO! AWUUUU!!! WOOO!!!


    I have been hearing bestial cries for days, but I can¡¯t find the owner of the voice, seriously.


    It howls miserably that I sympathize it but because it sounds like a large beast, I don¡¯t really want to search for it. If possible, I want to avoid it. Besides, I have yet to meet my true rival. I wouldn¡¯t want to meet the final boss for my first fight and my second death. Naturally, I walked in the opposite direction of the cries...


    ...is what I originally intended to do¡­ So¡­


    WHY THE HECK DID THE WIND SEND ME STRAIGHT TO THE BEAST?!!!!!!


    Ha¡­ Is there a God pranking me right now? Are you up there, watching the miserable me with a joyous expression on your face?! I am a weed and extremely weak, especially since only three days has passed after my birth¡­ Do I really have to experience my second death now?


    I landed miraculously on a tree branch after the wind stopped blowing me, and I saw giant furball. No, it actually a big black and white wolf with a horn like a unicorn¡¯s, and it has three fluffy tails. Uwu, I really wanted to hug that fluffy tail so much! The thing is, right now, I can¡¯t seem to understand why the wolf is crying so loudly. He looks fine, yet he keeps yelling and crying toward the huge crack on the ground that seems to be affected by the earthquakes.


    My life worth more than my curiosity, however, amicably I can''t ignore them. So, let''s start off by observing and pays attention to my surrounding. If I concentrate...carefully, aside from the wolf¡¯s howling, birds chirping, I could hear whimpering cries like a puppy. Is that the wolf pups?


    If that so then, good bye~ I couldn¡¯t do anything for ya~


    ¡­


    Muu¡­ in spite of my uselessness, I couldn¡¯t bear to leave the pair behind. Well, oh well, what I can do to help you? First, do I have any skill points left, VoH?


    [Skill Point: 100]


    What the--- could it be that once every day, the skill points will replenish? Nah, I¡¯m sure that¡¯s not the case. If that was the case, I would have 200 skill points by now.


    Anyway, I should obtain some new useful skills.


    Again, I worked my brain until it was exhausted. I¡¯ve got a few skills in mind. My plan is to make the beast understand me so that I could show that I¡¯m not a threat to it. Next, I plan on use a rope, or something similar to it like tree vines, and tie it to the wolf and its baby. Using the wolf¡¯s strength, the baby will be pulled upward. Yep, first and foremost, the most important thing is to make the wolf understand me.


    VoH, I would like to use skill point for beast language!


    ¡ºInsufficient skill point. Beast Language requires 1000 skill points. ¡»


    W-what? That so messed up!


    What now¡ª!! I need to make the wolf understand me, or else it will be hostile toward me. Uhuk¡­ Uwaaaa¡­ I¡¯m exhausted mentally. What do I do¡­? Why do I care for this beast that will kill me?!!


    VoH¡­ Suggest me a skill, please¡­ My brain has jammed. I couldn¡¯t think of anything.


    ¡ºSkill available: Silent Movement [50 point] Taunt [50 Point] ¡»


    Hm? So, you really suggested me something, eh. Thank you, thank you. But, I don¡¯t think it will work for me, especially Taunt. Silent movement is a good skill, though... W-wait a second there. I have got a new plan. It is risky, but it might work just well¡­ Right?


    One hour later.


    While the wolf is crying for its cub, I gathered a really long tree vine around a human toes size that is hanging on the tree branches which turns out to be very strong even though it is pretty light, so I was able to carry it. While gathering the tree vine, I use silent movement to level it up a little bit for precautions. I use ¡ºSilent Movement¡»while the wolf was distracted since I am small and light, I could jump around the wolf body without it noticing me. Then, I jumped down into the hole and found the baby already lying weakly on the ground.


    I jumped around its body, crawled under it and tied the tree vine to it. Finally, I climbed the tree vine to return back on the ground. Just then, I saw the wolf glare and snarling at me.


    Grrrrrrr¡­


    It keeps growling at me¡­ Mommy¡­


    Uuu¡­ Uuuu¡­ I-it¡¯s now or never¡­ T-t-t-t


    TAUNT ACTIVATE!!


    AWROOOO!!!!!!!


    The moment I activated the taunt, simultaneously, I ran away without caring about the little puppy¡¯s condition.


    I thought that it will stop chasing me after it¡¯s cub carried to the ground but when I turned my whole body to clear my doubt, the wolf was just a meter away from me.


    AAHhhhhhhhhhhhhh, mommy, god, ancestor, I was wrong! I was deeply wrong!! For-forgive me, Help Me!


    ¡ºFear Resistance Acquired¡»


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Fast Movement LV 1 become Fast Movement LV 2¡»


    The wolf was seriously taunted by me and it¡¯s angry! I don¡¯t want to die just yet! Uh, uh, UW AAAA, if not for the fast movement that I had, the wolf would have caught me in no time.


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Fear Resistance LV 1 become Fear Resistance LV 2.¡»


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Fast Movement LV 2 become Fast Movement LV 3.¡»


    UWHAAHAAAA!!! I ran so fast that I didn¡¯t notice that I ran up a tree to a tree branch. Luckily, the wolf couldn¡¯t climb the tree. Uuuu, so scary, so damn scary.


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Fear Resistance LV 2 become Fear Resistance LV 3.¡»


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Fear Resistance LV 3 become Fear Resistance LV 4.¡»


    ¡ºGravity Resistance Acquired¡»


    ¡ºObserve Acquired¡»


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Calculation LV 3 become Calculation LV 4¡»


    Even with Fear Resistance Level 4 doesn¡¯t help to decrease my fear and I¡¯m in a state where I¡¯m out of my mind. I have been shouting loudly inside my mind, asking for help that will never come¡­ I feel extremely exhausted.


    Although I feel like pissing myself after traumatized by the wolf, I¡¯m glad that wolf was able to get it¡¯s puppy out safely. Right now, I¡¯m observing them from above, and I saw that they are happily licking each other after the reunion. It seems like the wolf has finally decided let go of me. I could finally take a deep breath in relief, and would if only I had a nose.


    What a touching scene~. I rested on the tree branch, for precaution, I grow my legs into the branch. Mindlessly blank as I stared the beast and its baby, I wondered if my family is also worried about me in the previous world.


    {...}


    Anyway, I recalled that I have obtained a large sum of profit from this event! In addition to the skills that I adopt has grown up, I also gained some OP skills, if I remembered it correctly.


    Fear Resistance > LV 4, Fast Movement > LV 3, Gravity Resistance [New], Observe [New], and even Calculation has become level 4. How great!


    Although I found it odd, these skills were obtained not from using my skill points but by my own effort. From now on, I might be focused on gaining other skills rather than using my skill points!


    All hail my smart brain and worst luck!


    {¡­ ¡­ ....}


    I want to cry so badly.


    Huhu¡­ Sob.


    How pathetic. Huk¡­

 Chapter 3: Blown Away

    Chapter 3: Blown away.


    Since I was almost died when chased by the huge wolf, I have lost track to where the cave was.


    Before I realized it, the sky had turned dark and the sun replaced by the bright moon. As for the reason, I''ve become melodramatic so suddenly... I AM TERRIBLY LONELY!!


    After the event where I helped the wolf, not only did ''it'' not show any gratitude towards me. It also became hostile to me. I wandered around but I never saw any other living things. I did hear some noises underground, though; maybe it was the earthworms or moles.


    Eventually, I got bored and wandered aimlessly inside this thick forest.

    4 hour later¡­


    I¡¯m way too bored. I wandered aimlessly while raising my children [skills] and all are growing up well. I even raised my fool dance skill because I got nothing better to do. I wondered if there will be another wind that will blow me away.


    I¡¯m sorry that I always complained but I really hoped that there will be something that can make my life colorful again.


    After all, I couldn¡¯t sleep because no matter what I do, I don¡¯t feel tired. A weed doesn¡¯t eat so it doesn¡¯t shit. As a weed, I also don''t need to bath. As a damn weed, I don¡¯t have friends to talk to.


    I NEED A DAMN ****ING THINGS TO DO!!!


    ¡­


    I give up! No matter what I do, there is nothing going my way. I feel as if my world is upside down right now. Hm? Oh, hahaha it wasn¡¯t my world going upside down but I was the one that perched downward the tree branch like a bat.


    Hmm? What is that? Something flying really fast toward my direct--- UWAWAWA!! WHAT THE HECK?!


    -Bump!-


    Ouch! I fell on my butt! That''s if I had any. Just kidding, please forgive me just this once because my mental state was not stable for now. But that seriously was dangerous if I didn¡¯t let go my roots off the branch.


    That thing just now what was it, it is all bloody too. Truly destroying my peaceful day.


    Despite complaining, I couldn¡¯t wash away my smiling face, if I had any.


    Hop! Hop! Hop! I have been jumping for a while now to raise my new skill as I hop toward the direction that thing goes.


    SCREEEECHHHH!!!!

    SCREEE---


    40 minutes later.


    Was that really 40 minutes later? I feel like 4 years passed. If only I could turn off this enhanced hearing of mine. It is a good skill and I don¡¯t want to throw it away since it is like my child but I really would like to make it sleep for a little while. Is what I had in my mind yet there is no other way but to withstand the pain. At least when the resistance level up, I feel less pain now.


    The screeching sound is still there and loud yet it slowly becomes endurable.


    As I walked closer to the direction of the sound, a sight of a cave was seen. If I¡¯m not wrong, this is the same cave that I stumbled upon after getting blown by the storm for the first time ever.


    To make sure out of my doubt, I walked faster.


    And yeah, it is indeed the cave.


    SCREEEEECHHH!!!!

    Wow¡­ How nice. I no longer feel sick even after hearing the screeching sound close up.


    Little did I know what I will meet inside the cave but the mystery is a thrill and for the first time, I am happy for the risk that I will have to confront.


    ¡¸--w¡ªre¡ªou¡­ ¡¹


    Hm? Did I just heard something?


    ¡¸Wh¡ªre---ou---¡¹


    Yes? Who was that speaking? E-h, there is someone speaking?! WHO! WHO ARE YOU!! LET ME MEET YOU PLEASE!!!!


    ¡¸Who are you?¡¹


    AH? I¡ªI can¡¯t talk! I don¡¯t have a mouth! I¡¯m sorry but I really want to know who you are!!


    I rushed straight into the cave. Since it¡¯s dark, I couldn¡¯t see clearly but somehow the owner of the voice''s silhouette was very similar to a human? As I get closer, I get the gist of its physical and hope it is what I think it is.


    ¡¸You don¡¯t have to talk, neither was there a need to ask forgiveness but I must ask for your help, stranger because I am in a dire state. You can speak your mind since I can read it. ¡¹


    Is that so? Then, I may as well tell you, my---


    UWAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!


    D-dd-dddddddd¡ªDRACULA!!!!


    ¡¸Oh? You know my race? Aren¡¯t you a newborn plant type monster? ¡¹


    Sob-sob D-d-d-d¡ªdon¡¯t eat me, I¡¯m not delicious. I¡¯m all weed, see? I have no blood, I have no nutrient, I---


    ¡¸I will not eat you, please do not be afraid of me. I¡¯m all nice, see? Although I am all bloody. ¡¹


    R-really? Won''t you eat me?


    ¡¸Yes, right now I really need your help, please. ¡¹


    I stuttered before taking a good look at the paled looking man.


    What kind of help? I¡¯mreally weak as you can see.


    ¡¸I don¡¯t really think you are as weak as you say since you were born in one of the 8 greatest forests. Although the population in this forest is lesser than other forests, it proof that the monsters are all strong. ¡¹


    One of the great forest eh¡­ Since you think I can do it then I think I can do it too. So what kind of help do you need?


    ¡¸Here, take this ring. This is a space ring, I want you to follow my blood track until its end, and there you will meet a group of unicorn carcasses. Just think in your mind that you want to suck in all the carcasses inside the ring, and then it is all done. When you are done, please return the ring to me. I¡¯m on the verge of dying.¡¹


    Oh¡­ The unicorn was it, it¡¯s a magical holy beast, right? Hmm¡­ What do I get helping you?


    ¡¸Anything you could ever want, I have palace, wealth, slave, authority. Anything, just please help me.¡¹


    If he is saying the truth, I could ask for anything but there are too many things I want.


    I think for a long time before saying it shyly. After all, it is the only thing I ever wanted since I born into this world.


    Can you be my friend?


    ¡¸Ha? ¡¹


    I only want one thing. Friend.


    ¡¸There is many things you could have, just ask. There wasn¡¯t a limit at all. ¡¹


    Then, please be my friend. It has already been 5 days since I born but I am lonely¡­ Will you be my friend?


    ¡¸If that what you want, sure. I will tell you my name and you will tell me your name as proof of our friendship, only after you done helping me. ¡¹


    Mm! Hehe, I will go now!!


    After nodding furiously like chick pecking on grains, I ran as fast as I can following the blood track.


    I hope there will be no God pranking me right now with a hellish wind blowing because I am on an important mission which will change my future!


    You can do what you want but DO NOT BLOW ME AWAY! GOT THAT?!


    Here I go, my first friend!!!

 Chapter 4: Dont Give Up!

    Chapter 4: Don¡¯t Give UP!


    Hmm~Hmm~ I¡¯m humming along with the way, following the blood track. It¡¯s farther than I thought, because even after running for half an hour, the track doesn¡¯t end, and no unicorn carcasses could be seen. If it were the old me, I would definitely give up easily, but since I got a new motivation which will decide my future from now on, I¡¯ve been running happily.


    After an entire hour spent on running, I came across a bloody field.


    ¡ºSkill Proficiency has reached. Fast Movement LV 3 become LV 4¡»


    Like Dracula-san said, there is a group of unicorn carcasses. It was not gory since the unicorn had a clean cut in the neck. Though I sympathize these poor magical beasts, my objective is more important.


    Since I have Memorize-chan, I can remember clearly his instruction upon using the space ring.


    Alright, just suck them in now, space ring. I need to run back fast to the cave since Dracula-san is on the verge of dying.


    *sssss [sound effect of vacuum]*


    Wah¡­ this ring must be a rare item and extremely expensive since it can suck in the huge animal so easily.


    Now, let¡¯s return.


    ¡­


    ¡ºSkill Proficiency has reached. Fast Movement LV 4 become LV 5¡»


    Since I already know the way, I run faster this time.


    When I return to the cave, Dracula-san¡¯s complexion had paled considerably. He was on the ground, panting heavily. He looks extremely weak with the dark bags under his eyes. Panicking, I rush towards him and sit next to his head, shouting out loud in my mind. He slowly opens his eyes and tilts his head toward me.


    ¡¸Did¡­ you get it?¡¹


    Ah, he¡¯s alive¡­ Yeah, I got them right here! I spoke in my mind and hand him the ring.


    ¡¸Is that so¡­ Thank you very much¡­p-please give me some space¡­ I need to suck this animal clean.¡¹


    Oh, al-alright.


    And so, I walk further away from him as I watched him suck the unicorns one by one.


    Each one makes him regain a healthier color on his skin. Shortly, the last one he sucked makes him look entirely different from the first time I saw him. Previously, he had this Dracula vibe to him. Pale, bloody, thin and sickly but now he is gorgeous¡­


    Though he still had red eyes, sharp fangs and silky white long hair which confirms his existence as Dracula.

    ¡¸Little grass, I must thank you for saving me. ¡¹


    He bowed in a gentlemanly gesture with his right hand over the left side of his chest.


    Huh? AH! NONONONO, I did nothing except run all along.


    ¡¸Haha, don¡¯t say that. You are really my savior. To show my gratitude, my name is Lord Van Minor, pleased to be friend with you. ¡¹


    F-friend? Friend~~~ I got a friend~~.

    Ops, I did it again. Hahaha,~~.


    ¡¸Little grass, what is your name?¡¹


    Hm? I, that¡¯s right¡­ eh¡­?.


    Wait a second there.


    I couldn¡¯t remember my name???


    How weird, no matter how hard I try, I still can¡¯t remember it.


    ¡¸Little grass, could it be you don¡¯t have a name yet? ¡¹


    Sadly, I couldn¡¯t remember it.


    ¡¸Is that so? It is normal for ordinary beasts to not have a name, but as a newborn like you that is already so powerful, I thought you were named already. Since it¡¯s this way, that would mean you are originally strong. But why did you say you can¡¯t remember it? ¡¹


    I don¡¯t understand what you mean. Like I say, I really can¡¯t remember it.


    The reason I say I can¡¯t remember it is after all because I was a human.


    ¡¸?? Did you say you were a human, little grass? ¡¹


    Yes. 5 days ago, I was a normal human but somehow I could only remember how I look like among other things but not my name, though.


    ¡¸So you are a reincarnated, that explains a lot about your knowledge. Hm, if it is this way, do you mind if I name you? ¡¹


    !! I¡¯d be much obliged!!


    ¡¸Let me take a few minutes to think a name for you, okay?¡¹


    Yes!


    Van-san is a Dracula and his name is also elegant. How will my name turn out? Hehehe~~This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    ¡¸From now on your name will be Little Grass!¡¹


    NOOOO!!!!


    ¡¸Eh? Don''t you like it? ¡¹


    How can I like it! True, my appearance is a grass. But I was once a human woman. GIVE ME SOMETHING NICE PLEASE!!

    Oh, that¡¯s a nice skill I got there. URGH, STOP DISTRACTING ME! I WANT A NICE NAME!

    Wow, that¡¯s nice. Just the right thing I need!!


    ¡¸Rass, I need, to be honest. ¡¹


    What is it? Why did you sound so serious all of sudden?


    Van sudden change in tone makes me nervous without me knowing why. He sighed before looking at me sharply. Then in a cold chilling tone, he spoke.


    ¡¸When I asked you to help me. I was testing you from the beginning to the end. If you were a spy from the church or the union, surely you would have kept the ring to yourself and kill me when I was vulnerable earlier. If you were a thief or an adventurer, you would ask for some wealth or any treasure.


    If you are any of those, I will use my ancestor¡¯s taboo skill to end both of our life.¡¹


    -gulp- This gorgeous man is speaking about death with a cold tone; his words make me shudder in fear.

    ¡¸Thankfully, you are not any of that. And you even ask to be my friend. Rass, I¡¯m really glad to be your friend since there was no one sincere enough to be mine for countless years since I ascended to the throne as a lord.¡¹


    That¡¯s a cheat! After scaring me, why did you put that sweet gentle smile?!


    Arghh!! Your smile is blinding me! I am thankful to you too, so stop it! Besides, I¡¯ve been so lonely these few days. So we don¡¯t owe anything to each other.


    ¡ºBlind Resistance Acquired¡»


    And so, I¡¯m pleased to be your friend~


    ¡¸So do I. Anyway Rass, I intended to return to my mansion. Do you want to-- ¡¹


    I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU!! I have been waiting for the whole week for someone to talk to, don¡¯t you dare leave my sight even a second!


    ¡ºSkill Proficiency has reached. Intimidate LV 2 become LV 3¡»


    ¡¸Y-yes, then excuse me for a second. ¡¹


    Though I am tiny, my courage wasn¡¯t the same. Especially for something that I think is mine; even in this form, I could scare someone as if I were a dragon. But when it is something I am not used to, like my first time meeting a Dracula in my entire life, I¡¯m all meek. Hehe.


    While thinking such thing, Van already carries me inside his jacket¡¯s chest pocket.


    ¡¸Are you comfortable? ¡¹


    I think I¡¯m fine.


    ¡¸Please hold on tight, I will accelerate straight to the mansion. ¡¹


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡ºWind Resistance Acquired. ¡»


    I¡¯m extremely glad that Van carries me inside his pocket. Because if he were to carry me somewhere else, I would be blown away by the wind, especially since he accelerates throughout the flight. I heard an announcement but since the wind is blocking me from hearing clearly, I don¡¯t know what I got. Probably just a skill level up.


    Hm? Van, I¡¯m hearing screams and cries around 2 miles away from here. I¡¯m seeing flames and people running, 5 miles away.

    Van¡­


    Earlier when Van accelerated, he told me that this is his kingdom. The king has committed a crime against the UNION. Since he had the same face with the king, he baited the UNION¡¯s mercenaries and experts into the forest. He was defeated miserably but a miracle happened when he saw a group of the unicorn and slaughtered them. The rest is as I know.


    Now, he looks at his mansion which has burned to crisp. Perhaps it is because he is a man that he doesn¡¯t cry but his eyes are all teary.


    Without even the need to ask, I know from his reaction that the UNION had made a move in his kingdom while was he gone. Putting the fact that his kingdom was attacked aside, there were still some survivors since I heard screaming and crying.


    ¡ºSkill Proficiency has reached. Enhanced Hearing LV 5 Become LV 6¡»


    Hm? Somehow the enhanced hearing has grown steadily?


    Van suddenly fell down onto his knee. He was choking on the tears with his eyes closed.


    V-van??


    ¡¸It¡¯s over¡­ there is no one left. I¡¯m sorry Rass but you may have to be alone after this. Since I--¡¹


    Ha? Without letting him finishing his word, three black lines appeared next to my head.


    YOU DUMMY! There still survivor inside the mansion. I also heard a group crying for help in the palace! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP SO SOON!!


    He opened his eye slowly and looks downward to face me that staying inside his pocket.


    ¡¸Is that true? Rass¡­ You are not making things up, right? ¡¹


    Do you think I can lie with my state like this? If I had a mouth maybe I could tell a lie but right now I speak with my mind.


    ¡¸Now that you say it, it does make sense¡­ Because it is you Rass, I don¡¯t doubt you. T-thank you Rass. Let¡¯s go. ¡¹


    Hmph, you make me worry for nothing. Hmph.


    ¡ºConvince Acquired¡»


    Eh, what?


    Hey, wait!


    Because Van started rushing, I stop him from heading to the palace and immediately explain to him.


    You should save the one in your mansion first because her voice is getting weaker.


    ¡¸Is that so, then sure. By the way, you are really amazing Rass. To be able to hear voices¡­ ¡¹


    Stop praising me, it was nothing.


    Though I said that, somehow I felt that I¡¯m smirking right now.


    Let me say just this one thing. It is unfair of you to give up so fast because I too have to suffer difficulties and even if I try to give up, I CAN¡¯T!! So, DON¡¯T YOU DARE GIVE UP BEFORE I DO!

 Chapter 5: The annihilation of a kingdom

    Chapter 5: The annihilation of a kingdom.


    The voice came from the underground, Van!


    ¡¸I understand. ¡¹


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Enhanced Hearing LV 6 become LV 7¡»


    Van moves the piles of rubbles and glasses aside, searching for the so-called secret entrance leading the way to the underground. Even though a shard of glass made him bleed, it quickly healed. YUP, he really is a Dracula.


    Draculas are different from Vampires is what Van said. Though there wasn¡¯t really a difference like if elves said forest elves and dark elves is an entity different from them. If I were to list their difference based on the survivor that I saw earlier, it was very subtle. The difference between Draculas and the Vampires is perhaps only their form. While vampires can turn into a bat, Dracula doesn¡¯t but they can have a pair of bat-like wings.


    The vampires only fly when they become a bat, they are agile and flexible but not powerful. Dracula can fly even without the wing, they also not agile or flexible but are dominating whether in raw power or magic.


    But both Vampires and the Dracs are living together in this kingdom. Van also mentions that perhaps the one underground is his half-sister, a vampire.


    ¡¸Rass, I found the entrance. How is the girl¡¯s condition? ¡¹


    When Van mentions it, I concentrate to hear the feeble voice.


    No good, the voice is getting even weaker that I have trouble hearing.


    Van replies with a nod and rushes downstairs.


    The underground is a maze created by his ancestor to confuse enemy to run in a circle even Van has trouble with this maze. But there is me here!


    Inside his pocket, I guide him the direction toward where the voice that I heard.


    I rush him to run even faster since the voice is fading.


    Each time the voice gets smaller, I concentrate on increasing the Enhance Hearing effect.


    By the time I realized it, both Enhance Hearing and Concentrate skill has grown until level 8.


    ¡¸-he-help...¡¹


    There! Van, it¡¯s from behind the right room!


    *creek-- *sound door opening.


    Eh?! That¡¯s no white hair, oppositely of Van hair color, the girl¡¯s hair is as dark as the darkness of the night. Is it really Van¡¯s--


    ¡¸LOREINE!!!¡¹


    Oh, so her name is Loreine~


    ¡¸-b-brother... you are here. They said... you have died.¡¹


    ¡¸No, I¡¯m didn¡¯t die yet. Wait, drink this. ¡¹


    Van pulls out the unicorn carcass and feeds it to Loreine.


    As she sucks the unicorn dry, she regains her energy and just for a moment there, her eyes reflect a bright scarlet light. Though her hair and face are different, I am sure that she is Van¡¯s half sister.


    ¡¸Loreine, where is uncle? Why is he not with you? ¡¹


    The moment Van ask her the question, she automatically frowns and her eyes became watery.


    Waiting for so long, this girl still hasn''t replied to Van. I become nervous and feel goosebumps all over my body when Van repeats the same question again.


    ¡¸Loreine. Where is uncle?Why is he not here with you? ¡¹


    ¡¸T-the UNION, they... ¡¹


    Somehow I don¡¯t want her to finish her sentence but Van getting impatient waiting for her to reply.


    ¡¸They did what?! ¡¹


    ¡¸They have taken him away! Uncle sacrificed himself so that I could hide safely in this labyrinth. I am powerless as you know, brother! I can¡¯t¡ªsob¡ªI can¡¯t do anything and just watch them take him away! ¨Chic- I, I am to blame... It is all my fault... If I was stronger, this wouldn¡¯t happen. ¡¹


    She cries and choked in tears as she explains everything to Van. When I watch her crying, my heart wrench as the girl look younger than my previous self and she is a bishoujo. Eh? Have I owned a heart? Sigh, if I am human right now, I will surely comfort the girl by hugging her and pat her back but this brother of her just look at her without concern.


    ¡¸Enough crying. Since you have regained your energy, let¡¯s move on. ¡¹


    ¡¸...yes, brother... ¡¹


    A pair of bat wings appeared behind the back of Van¡¯s and his sister and they started to fly towards the palace while I¡¯m still in Van¡¯s pocket.


    .........


    The siblings are being quiet throughout the flight to the palace which makes me feel awkward. I tilt my head upward and use telepathy with Van.


    Umm¡­ Van, would you please introduce me to your sister?


    ¡¸Was there a need? ¡¹


    Well, isn¡¯t it normal to greet my friend family member?


    ¡¸There wasn¡¯t such a custom in our kingdom. ¡¹The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Is that so, but, I am a human. So, will you please?


    ¡¸... ¨Csigh-, alright. ¡¹


    Hey, why did you have to sigh over something like that?! It¡¯s rude!


    ¡¸Loreine, this one inside my pocket is Rass. She is my friend and my savior. ¡¹


    ¡¸Eh?? That thing inside your pocket is alive???? I thought it was a toy. But brother, are you joking? That thing is just a grass, right? It is my first to see a grass monster, so I doubt its ability to save you. Are you saying the truth, right now? ¡¹


    This girl, unlike her appearance, she is quite noisy eh?


    ¡¸Now you understand why I, sigh... ¡¹


    Did you say something, Van?


    ¡¸Nothing important. ¡¹


    Really? Okay, then. Let me try telepathy with Loreine for a second.


    Testing one, testing two... Hello there, I¡¯m Rass.


    ¡¸Wow, you even can do telepathy! How strong is your mind, little grass? ¡¹


    Yeah, the two is similar... Very much similar.


    Please call me Rass, Loreine-chan.


    ¡¸Oh, forgive me. To actually not say the named monster¡¯s name is extremely rude of me. Pleased to meet you, Rass. Thank you for saving my brother. ¡¹


    Your welcome, it really was nothing. I just run chores for him while he does the real job in the reality. Though he says I am his savior, I don¡¯t feel the exact same and actually, it was opposite. He is my savior.


    ¡¸Oh~¡¹


    ¡¸Both of you, enough the greeting. We have arrived. ¡¹


    Van cut our conversation and the three of us landed on the palace roof safely.


    ¡¸Rass, do you see or hear the survivor? ¡¹


    I do hear them and apparently from their way of talking, one of them is a UNION and the survivor has the one who called Prince Sulvian.


    ¡¸That is the crown prince. Loreine, give me your blessing. ¡¹


    ¡¸Yes! Ancestor, With My Blood as Offering, Grant Van Invulnerable Blessing. ¡¹


    As soon as Van¡¯s request for a blessing, Loreine cut her wrist. Yawch... Then, Van¡¯s body slightly emitted dim silver color.


    -sa sa- *quick*


    I didn¡¯t even have the time to react when Van suddenly accelerates without warning. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it¡¯s emergency, I would have scolded him automatically. Since Loreine is weak, she hides behind the roof while peeking at us.


    In no time, Van reaches the palace hall and he immediately hides behind one of the pillars. He is waiting for a chance to land a sneak attack. Meanwhile, I¡¯m eavesdropping the UNION and the prince conversation.


    ¡¸This is the end, Prince Sulvian. It was very unlikely for your father to return because... Our leader has killed him! ¡¹


    ¡¸I never hope he returns. I myself will do my best to protect my kingdom. ¡¹


    ¡¸Kukukuku, how noble of you. BUT WHAT CAN YOU PROTECT WHEN NOTHING EVEN EXIST! HAHAHAHAHA!!! ¡¹


    Urgh, watching this bishounen provoked by the villain make me want to punch that stupid villain!


    ¡¸Rass, is the UNION off guard? ¡¹


    No, not yet. He seems like he does but he gives off a weird vibe which scares me. Ugh, though he doesn¡¯t look like he noticed us, he is actually very cautious.


    Many thanks to Observe-chan, I can understand what is going on at the scene.


    ¡¸Tch, you are really making me impatient, Prince Sulvian. WHERE IS THE MONACLE OF SOLITUDE?! WHERE DID YOU PEOPLE HIDE IT?! ¡¹


    ¡¸Even if I die, I will never tell you! ¡¹


    ¡¸Then, you better of die!! HYAAAAAHHH ¡¹


    Van, NOW!!


    .........


    I closed my eyes without noticing... What happened? ... I peek an eye then I saw Van blocking the UNION¡¯s broadsword just by using his left wrist.


    ¡¸WHO ARE YOU?!! ¡¹


    ¡¸No need to know who I am, you are about to die anyway! ¡¹


    ----saasaa--- The enemy retreat by sliding back two meters away from Van.


    ¡¸Could it be, you are the king?! NO WAY! OUR LEADER HAS KILLED YOU! ¡¹


    ¡¸Whether I am the king or not, IT¡¯S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN! ¡¹


    Van accelerates forward with his right hand wielding a sword.


    Don¡¯t even bother asking me how he got the sword; even I don¡¯t know where he pulled it out from.


    ¡¸Urgh, Damn it. ARE YOU OR ARE YOU NOT THE KING?!! ¡¹


    ¡¸Your people have made a move on my kingdom, you don¡¯t have the right to ask who I am! ¡¹


    -FTANG! - *sound the sword clashing


    Clang¡ªthe man broadsword darted off on the floor.


    Slash---


    ¡¸ARGH!! ¡¹


    ¡¸Hmph. Now you know what pain feels like? You have made my people feel even more excruciating pain than that! YOU WILL NOW TASTE WHAT THEY HAD EXPERIENCED! ¡¹


    ¡¸Wait! Don¡¯t you want to know where you vassal is? I know where he is, just let me live. ¡¹


    ¡¸Silence, no more nonsense coming from you. ¡¹


    ¡¸I KNOW WHERE THE LEADER TOOK THE DOUGLASS MINOR!! ¡¹


    Van¡¯s sword halt in mid air after the man mention a name. His eyes became cold and he gives out a terrifying aura.


    He grasps hold of the man neck and chokes him as he holds him in the mid air.


    ¡¸Urk--- ¡¹


    ¡¸Speak or I will have you taste something even worse than death!! ¡¹


    ¡¸South¡ªmountain... after the¡ªurk... elves town. 200 miles away from the town... There is a temple. Th-that is where the headquarter is. ¡¹


    ¡¸Hmph. You UNIONS ARE WORTHLESS. ¡¹


    -fwsh¡ª


    Van ended the man¡¯s life within a second without giving a second thought. The man told the truth because he felt threaten by Van¡¯s aura. Even I that have fear nullity somehow felt goosebumps all over my body. I know that the man tells the truth because of the pure blood blessing was given by Van.


    It let me read someone¡¯s mind. But if the mind of the person is stronger than me, like Van, apparently I can¡¯t read it and sometimes, they can even confuse me by creating fake thinking in their mind. Sigh, only horrible people would do that -sob-.


    Regardless of his concern about the Douglass Minor which I guess is his uncle, Van greets the Prince and few bishoujo behind him.


    The prince is extremely good-looking with his blue-silver hair and golden eye. He is also as tall as Van. He is a jaw-dropping handsome man, my saliva would be flowing if I have a jaw.


    But these people are serious cheating.


    ¡¸Duke of Minor greet his king, Prince Sulvian, Queen Ivory, Queen Dowager Manora and Madam of Court, Ma¡¯am Lina. ¡¹


    The bishoujos behind the prince, according to Van way of speaking, they are even older than I am. If the draculas and vampires are like the legend, they probably are thousand years at least. What a cheat.


    ¡¸We, the royalty has been saved by you. Many thanks, duke of Minor. ¡¹


    ¡¸It is my duty to serve the royalty. ¡¹


    ¡¸It was but now, the kingdom itself is over. We probably have to hide elsewhere now. ¡¹


    ¡¸The people may have died but there still some survivor left. Prince Sulvian please ascends the throne. Our kingdom still need his king.¡¹


    ¡¸Even if I ascend the throne, there is no way to revive this kingdom. Duke of Minor, I¡¯m sorry to disappointyou but... The kingdom of Asmodios may have to end here. ¡¹


    ¡¸No way... ¡¹


    Uh... Somehow, the conversation becomes so serious. Van...

    Chapter 5.5: Side Story: Runa-series [Part 1]


    ¡¸Runa-sama! ¡¹


    Without turning my head to face the voice owner, I already know who is calling out for me.


    ¡¸It is time for you to practice, please do not wander off as you please. ¡¹


    ¡¸I did not... ¡¹


    ¡¸Yes you did, Runa-sama. Please, for our kingdom sake. Please do your job as our priest properly.¡¹


    The one that reminds me of my current job is the kingdom pope. His name is A¡¯bert and I know everything about him. Not only him but this whole kingdom¡¯s important people¡¯s real identity. The reason is that I am the one who created him and those people.


    Even if I say so, it was just my pure imagination.


    A few days ago, I was a normal teenager with interests toward romance novels. I even wrote a story myself. Perhaps I became too proud of the fact that there are readers who loved my story, I tried to publish it in books. When I sent the story to the publishing company, I got rejected harshly.


    ¡¸This kind of story is everywhere. You can read it for free at any website, and there is nothing pique my interest to read this. Your main character is too plain; I wonder how you are even able to love this character. You say it is a romance novel?


    Pfft, stop joking. Please be realistic. This main character of yours is way too plain to have 7 bishounen that loves her. The only reason they love her is because she is a priest.


    Please, keep this story to yourself. If you really want to publish a book, try harder.¡¹


    I cried on the way back home. Since my eyes were too blurry to see what was in front of me, I walked straight on the road without realizing the light was red. There were people screaming and warning me; a trailer warned me with honks. It was too late for me to return.


    A woman wearing a black suit while carrying food in her hand, push me away. I don¡¯t know what happen next but all I know, the moment she pushes me away, I ended up entering the novel that I wrote. Now, I regret the choice to write the story like this.


    I become the priest that has seven bishounen that loves her. With seven other bishoujo that hate her. My world becomes so messed up rather than what I write in the novel.


    I wonder what happen to that woman who saves me. She is tall and cool like a man.


    ...


    At the other side, Rass suddenly shudder in cold.


    ¡¸What is it, Rass? ¡¹


    I don¡¯t know, maybe I am catching a fever? It is a bit cold tonight.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    ¡¸So a plant can also catch a cold? That is interesting. ¡¹


    Shut it. Just go chat with your prince about the revival of your kingdom.


    ........


    Although I have a lot to say, this is the same setting with my novel where many people love the priest and many people despised the priest. I was dragged by the pope to the training center. There, Geffen-san and Thunder-san is waiting for me.


    I straighten myself and bow 90 degrees.


    ¡¸I am sorry for wandering off alone. ¡¹


    ¡¸Runa... If we are being too hard on you, we are sorry but this is all for you own good. ¡¹


    ¡¸Hmph! As a priest, you ought to be strong. You need to protect us from the upcoming war with the soon reincarnated demon lord. ¡¹


    ¡¸Geffen! You are being too harsh on her! ¡¹


    ¡¸It¡¯s fine, Thunder-san... I am alright. Besides, Geffen is right. I am a priest after all. ¡¹


    I spoke in a monotone to hide my feeling. Currently, I feel nauseated by these men¡¯s actions. Like the one who rejected my story, he actually says something that makes sense. How can you love me? Just because I am a priest that you people summon just to save your kingdom while I have yet done the actual thing, you actually already fall in love with me, so ridiculous. You pity me to have to carry this huge burden? Ha? Then why did you summon me, to begin with? Haishhh...


    Plus, I am not as pretty as the seven rival of mine that loves these bishounens and my position in this kingdom is just as a priest. After this whole war and demon lord is over, you will just be throwing me away, and forget all I have done for your kingdom.


    This world is just giving me troubles one after another.


    The only good thing I get after becoming a priest is I become OP. I just have to imagine the thing that I want to create, if there is a suitable material, I can make anything with only my imagination to the limit. I¡¯m practically a cheat character.


    Like right now, I am practicing to create a legendary rank sword for the crown prince to use in the upcoming war.


    ¡¸That¡¯s it, concentrate, Runa-chan. ¡¹


    With a rough idea in my mind, I start with the handle. To make the wielder comfortable, I make the handle not too light or heavy, but just the right weight. Then I manipulate the thread and binding the handle in three full rotations. For the sword base, I use the rarest stone given by the pope which called mystrille stone.


    First, I had to flatten the stone to shape its base, then by flattening the edge even more, until it looks like a broadsword. That is still not enough. The wielder is the crown prince. He is more of speed rather than strength.


    I made the blade thinner and lighter for easier movement. On the end of the blade, I made it pointy. On the edge of the blade, I added two holes that have a gap of two inches. On the center of the blade near the handle, I carved four shallow holes for magical stones.


    ¡¸That¡¯s amazing... Such a sword is definitely worth to be called legendary. ¡¹


    Ignoring the easily amazed-Thunder, I focus on making the sword look elegant and more legendary-like, I added pointy edge which makes it a V-shaped at the center pointing out from the edge of the blade. I purposely create a crown symbol at the handle knob. Finally, I give 7 blessing to the sword and added the accessory to it which is the oddly shaped strap that hangs at the end of the thread that binds the handle.


    Eventually, my legs give out and somehow manage to also name the sword.


    ¡¸The sword will be called Araiia. ¡¹


    I used up all my energy for just this one sword. So please take care of it.


    Geffen scoffed and mocked me like usual, but he ended up praising me. I feel a sense of pride after being praised by someone who usually belittled me. It was probably his plan all along. But still, I feel proud.


    Since I am terribly tired, A¡¯bert explain to the kingdom on my behalf that I used up all my energy to create a legendary sword for the crown prince, so I can¡¯t give blessing for today. I rest in my room all day long until someone wakes me up. Today might be the only day which I feel satisfied with. Ha¡­ I sighed heavily as I nodded off to sleep.

 Chapter 6: A Guardian [Part 1]

    Chapter 6: A Guardian [Part 1]


    After we saved the royalty and few other survivors, the prince allowed us to rest inside the palace¡¯s labyrinth. The labyrinth has a lot of room, but each room only fits one person and there is only a single bed in the room.


    While I''m inside Van''s pocket, all of us including the high authorities ladies go down to the labyrinth by the stairs, I was simply curious about something that I found extremely odd. Why are the labyrinth and the guest room in the same place?


    Prince Sulvian notices how I find it strange about the labyrinth, he explains with a playful tone.


    ¡¸ Our kingdom has experienced war like this for the Nth time since it was founded. ¡¹


    So, apparently, the guest room once used to hold important war prisoners however they don¡¯t do that anymore since thousand years ago. The real guest rooms are in the palace but since it still undetermined that the kingdom is currently safe, we had to rest in the labyrinth for now.


    After he guide us to our room, Prince Sulvian left us for the night and went to his own room. Other survivors enter their own room to take a rest. After all, even if they are used to this kind of war, they still feel the loss of their beloved one since that is something you can never get used to.


    Van and I sleep in the same room, while Loriene sleeps in the other room.


    I¡¯m not tired at all so of course, I¡¯m not going to sleep. In contrast to me, Van sleeps soundly next to me as soon as he laid on the bed. It was pretty much obvious since he was the one who has been doing the main job, while I only guide him of direction. Despite that I am only a size of his palm; I don¡¯t feel the slightest small when I¡¯m with him. Since he is treating me like a superior ever since I gain Intimidate-chan.


    I jump around until I reach the floor and exits the room by sliding under the gap between the door and floor.


    Since it¡¯s late at night, I don¡¯t want to bother anyone and getting into trouble. So, I¡¯ll just wander around the castle by myself.


    Ha¡­ I¡¯m truly am in a different world now, aren¡¯t I? How can I be so unlucky, becoming a weed in a different world? But if not for my crazy luck, I wouldn¡¯t be able to survive until now.


    Anyway, since I came to this world, I have been neglecting something super important.


    It¡¯s practically about me.


    Even if I have many skills, my body itself is terribly weak and powerless. Heck, even a baby bird can rip me into pieces.


    My body consists of five leaves, three at the center act as my head, two at the end to act as my hand, and my roots acts as my legs. If I don¡¯t get enough sunlight, my leaves will wilt which would make me even more vulnerable than normal. If my root doesn¡¯t get enough water, I couldn¡¯t walk and slowly drain away my energy. True, I don¡¯t need to eat or sleep but if there is no sun and water for few days, I¡¯ll probably die.


    Ugh, thinking about this is making me depressed. After all, weed is rhymed with weak. JK[Just Kidding]


    ARGHHHH!!!! This is stressing me out! Damn it!


    Even if I have amazing skills like intimidate that can scare a dracula lord, I would be defeated by anyone in no time if I was blown away by the wind or burn alive by fire, stomped by someone or just getting my leaves tear apart.


    ¡­ Brrr, I shudder in fear imagining what could happen to me. Before that happens, I will dash away and hide inside Van¡¯s pocket, where it is safe.


    Mhm. Yes! That is what I will do. This is a foolproof plan. HAHA-


    ¡¸Rass-sama? ¡¹


    My body jolt up in surprise because I thought I was the only one staying up late.That voice sounds familiar, but I totally didn¡¯t hear any footstep. Just to make sure, I turn my body to see that voice owner.


    When I turn my body toward him, I almost turned blind.. even though I don¡¯t have eyes


    ¡ºSkill Announcement:Blind Resistance LV 1 Become LV 2¡»


    ¡¸What are you doing in the hallway alone? ¡¹


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Blind resistance LV 2 Become LV 3¡»


    Would you please stop that sparkling aura of yours???


    ¡ºSkill Announcement:Blind resistance LV 3 Become LV 4¡»


    Oh, I finally able to get used to this bishounen aura. What the...


    Um, Prince Sulvian, why are you squatting??


    ¡¸It so that I can talk to you face to face. ¡¹


    Would you just carry me to your room and put me on a table, it¡¯s much easier that way.


    ¡¸Oh, right. That never crossed my mind at all. ¡¹This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    Are all dracs and vamps always so simple minded?


    ¡¸Yes we are. ¡¹


    While say such thing, Prince Sulvian carries me on his right shoulder and walk to his room.


    ... Isn¡¯t that why your kingdom fell into ruins... D-Did I just say that?...


    ..U¡¯uh.. I spoke unintentionally. Is he angry???


    I¡¯m pretty sure that he would be angry since it¡¯s his kingdom that I spoke of but... in contrast of what I thought, he actually laughed out loud.


    ¡¸Hahaha, now you say it, I finally found out our fatal flaw. ¡¹


    ...


    Afterward, like I suggested, he places me on top of the table and prepares my miniature of a chair which he got from his mother¡¯s dollhouse. While chatting with each other, I found it surprisingly pleasant to speak with him and there is a lot of things I learned about the pure blood. It was totally different from what the legend says about them.


    The pure blood is surprisingly friendly and simple. Since they are strong, simple-minded, they tend to go to war with many other countries. But never once did they touch an innocent life. They do need blood as life force but it doesn¡¯t really have to be a human. Mostly, they hunt for beast¡¯s blood; the stronger the beast, the higher quality of blood so this is why they never touch human on purpose.


    When they go to a war, they don¡¯t take slaves or war prisoners but they do plunder all the kingdom¡¯s wealth except for food since pure blood is all about being elegant and rich is what he had said.


    After he was done speaking about the kingdom, I gained a skill ¡ºOrigin of Race ¡»which I have no clue of what it does.


    Then, I was just reminiscing about my sad past life.


    Though it was just my random rant, I truly doubt anyone cares. That is what I originally thought, however, the crown prince wryly smile make my heart wrench while he spoke gently.


    ¡¸Is that so, Van has to explain to me that you are a reincarnate and was a human. Was it the reason you become sad? ¡¹


    Well, rather than sad because I was once a human, I am bitter because I¡¯m weak.


    ¡¸You are weak? ¡¹


    Yes, as you can see I am.


    Despite what I say, he found it shocking and I was confused seeing his reaction.


    ¡¸How did you ended up thinking you are weak, Rass-sama? ¡¹


    If you ask me, I have many things I¡¯m lacking in. As a matter of fact, I¡¯m fragile in all aspect. Anyway, what I want to ask from the first moment you call me is... Why is it that you call me Rass-SAMA? Even Van doesn¡¯t do that, he just calls me casually.


    ¡¸That wasn¡¯t what I had in my mind, Rass-sama is weak...? Then I wonder how you are able to scare our strongest warrior? ¡¹


    Oi, answer my question first, damn it! And who the heck is this warrior? I never scare any¡ªOhhhhhhhhhhhh... Was it Van?


    ¡¸Yes. Van Minor is our strongest warrior ever exists in our kingdom. Did you notice how his color is white? ¡¹


    Yes.


    ¡¸As we get stronger in this three aspect; mind, strength and magic, our hair color changes into brighter color and our eyes color will depend on the element we had. ¡¹


    Oh... So, your hair color isn¡¯t due to your gene? {wait wait ¡­ it repeating down here}


    ¡¸Of course not, we start with black hair when we are born. But, there are some cases where a baby is already born with a light hair color. ¡¹


    Now, I¡¯ve finally know the truth... Wait a damn minute. DO NOT DISTRACT ME! ANSWER MY ORIGINAL QUESTION DAMN IT!


    ¡ºSkill Announcement:Intimidate LV 4 become LV 5¡»


    ¡¸!! B-but, Rass-sama is Rass-sama! ¡¹


    That doesn¡¯t explain a single damn thing damn it! Even if you are a bishounen and a prince added to that, if you don¡¯t answer my question, I will be annoyed!


    ¡¸If you insist then, I¡¯ll be honest. ¡­ Now I know why Van is scared.¡¹


    That¡¯s the way it should be, hmph.


    ¡¸We decided to create a statue of you as our guardian... That is why I have to be polite to you. ¡¹


    Oh, so that is why... WHAT?!!!!


    Why the heck is I your guardian?! Why did I never hear of this????


    ¡¸We did discuss this in front of you but perhaps you didn¡¯t hear it. ¡¹


    BUT Why????


    ¡¸It is our custom to create a statue of the strongest person in the kingdom to serve as our guardian. Previously, it was Van¡¯s statue but since he said you are stronger, we decide that it will be you. ¡¹


    Which part of me is strong, you see all leaves, I couldn¡¯t even block the wind from blowing me away.


    ¡¸If you say so, then we will change the guardian statue... I wouldn¡¯t force you. ¡¹


    Oh~ you change my opinion about you people into better way~


    Besides, becoming a guardian seriously is a huge burden for me.


    ¡¸That is good for you, we have chat for a long time. Please allow me to send you back to Van. ¡¹


    Then, I will have to trouble you~


    ¡¸Not really, (since you will still be our guardian)...¡¹


    Hm? Did you say something?


    ¡¸Nope. ¡¹


    He denied while smile brightly.


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Blind Resistance LV 4 become LV 5¡»


    I see...but Stop blinding me you stupid bishounen!!!


    ............


    The next morning, without me having to do anything, Van wakes up on time. He greets me and then he asks me to face the other way since he is going to take a bath. The people in this world all use magic for their daily chores. Van just chants a magic spell and he is done cleaning his body. He wore the same design suit like the first time I saw him but it wasn¡¯t the same thing he said because he had hundred same design suits in his space ring.


    After he done, we walk to the palace dinner hall. Along the way, everyone greets Van and surprisingly also me. But the thing is that I want to complain straight away, why did everyone have to add ¨Csama for me?? Didn¡¯t I say that I weak and not suit to be Guardian to the crown prince last night???


    As we walk to the hallway, Van gestures his finger pointing outside of the window to the palace garden. Likewise, I am curious.


    Then I saw a huge stone statue of Van kneeling in one knee on warrior pose, with his left hand holding the sword and his face looks blessed...


    And me in his right hand facing to the sky magnificently.


    ...

    Q&A


    So someone has been mentioning about the gravity resistance in chapter 2. I planned on telling it in the future since it wasn¡¯t the right moment for me to write about it but...


    Someone has been teaching me how to write spoiler.


    Naturally, Here we go!


    <b>Spoiler</b> : <input type=''button'' value=''Show'' class=''spoilerButton''> Every skill that Rass-chan owns is like part of her body and soul. She can control them however she likes it. Though she has yet to realize it; even if she had nullity skill, in the future, she will learns how to control them and turn it off or on at anytime.


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


    Even though there is no one asking yet, I write this because I want the reader understand how the skill in my story works.


    In some LitRPG, I''m pretty much sure there are some authors explain about this.


    *Active means those skills that can grow.


    The higher the level the more effective the skill is.


    *Passive skill is those that depend on the master''s mental strength.


    It is skill that will never grow no matter what you do.


    *Nullity is like immortal, sound like you will never die but actually that wasn''t it.


    It only provide stronger defense. In my story, it is depend on the level and ranks.


    *Calculation is different from Mathematician.


    <b>Spoiler</b> : <input type=''button'' value=''Show'' class=''spoilerButton''> Calculation is calculating something that relate to the user.


    It helps the user''s mental getting stronger. Somehow also helps Memorizing better.


    Later will be explained to Rass-chan by Appraisal-sama


    Mathematician is calculating anything. It doesn''t do anything except helping counting.


    Other than helping counting numerical number, it doesn''t do anything.

 Chapter 7: A Guardian [Part 2]

    Chapter 7: A Guardian Part 2


    Without giving a second thought, I rush Van to go to the dinner hall.


    There, I found the mastermind behind the entire odd things that happens this morning. Leaving Van behind, I jump off his pocket and landed on the dining table. I ran straight to the end of the table and shout in my mind out loud.


    DIDN¡¯T I SAY THAT I DON¡¯T WANT TO BE A GUARDIAN?!!!


    Yep, I¡¯m in rage. But the guilty person himself is drinking the tea peacefully like nothing happen. He stares down at me just for a short moment and closes both his eyes while smiling brightly.


    ¡ºBlind Resistance has reached Level 6¡»


    ¡¸Rass-sama didn¡¯t say that last night, did we have some kind of misunderstanding? I do hear you say it was a burden for you but you never say you don¡¯t want to be one.¡¹


    I say it was a burden that was enough to show that I don¡¯t intend to be one!


    ¡¸Is that so... But, there is nothing I could do. After all, I have spreads the happy news to everyone saying that you are our new warrior. ¡¹


    ¡¸Ha??? ¡¹


    I am shocked but the one that surprisingly also shocked at the news was Van, which I found it strange.


    ¡¸Prince Sulvian, what is this all about?? ¡¹


    ¡¸Last night, we have agreed didn¡¯t we? To choose a new warrior. ¡¹


    ¡¸Yes, but-- ¡¹


    ¡¸You say that Rass-sama is strong and she also has the ability to scare you. The strongest warrior of Asmodios. ¡¹


    ¡¸Hence, everyone agrees to have her as our guardian while you still be our warrior~¡¹


    WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN BY HENCE, YOU SIMPLE MINDED PEOPLE?!!!!


    ¡¸Rass, calm down. ¡¹


    HOW CAN I CALM DOWN GRRRRR!!


    ¡¸Become a guardian doesn¡¯t really do you the burden. Plus you get benefits from it. ¡¹


    THE HECK DOES TH¡ªohhh... Really?


    After Van with gentle tone keeps convincing me, I quickly cool down. Then Prince Sulvian burst out laughing at me.


    ¡¸PFFTT, hahaha. Rass-sama are the same as us, simple minded~ ¡¹


    Shut it.


    Van shook his head lightly before sigh heavily. He then continues to explain things for me.


    ¡¸Well, although it said to be a guardian. Doesn¡¯t really mean you have to do something. The guardian statue will give us enough protection for now. The statue will have some of your abilities that could provide us protection. ¡¹


    Ohh...


    ¡¸For it to have your abilities you need to do the oath. Then, you will also gain benefit such as gaining title and able to use our blessing. ¡¹


    Oath? If you explain it that way then I no longer disagree but what does title do? After all, I have seen Loreine do the blessing to you so I don¡¯t need to ask about it but the title, I still need to know.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    ¡¸Title in our kingdom means authority. In other kingdoms, I¡¯m not sure about it. ¡¹


    And then, I keep inquiring more detail so that I could understand about the guardian more thoroughly.


    Authority allows me to order or request anything as long as it not unreasonable to anyone also let me get 0.1% of the total profit of the taxes from the kingdom. After the oath, I will be given few things that I could use.


    I wonder what the thing that a weed could use is.


    So, I agree to take the oath.


    Eventually, after everyone has done with their breakfast, Prince Sulvian orders them to go to the kingdom¡¯s temple. Last night, when I guide Van toward the survivor, this is the only place where a lot of people gather and hide. I don¡¯t find anything odd except the goddess like the statue and the size is as large as the palace.


    Which I found very strange for a pureblood who supposed to have no religion.


    ¡ºObserve has reached level 4.¡»


    Perhaps Van read my mind, he explains to me in a whisper.


    ¡¸ Our kingdom once had a goddess descend here. She creates this temple for only those who seek safety. ¡¹


    Ahh... So that is why this is the only building that still standing strongly even after UNION¡¯s ambush. Even the palace had to take some damage but this place doesn¡¯t even have a dust to it.


    ¡¸And so, here we are the sole survivor that survive the tragedy of the week. I¡¯m sure many lost their friends, important one, rival, lover and family in the midst of the calamity. Behalf of the previous king, I... ¡¹


    The crown prince standing on the stage with a sad expression on his face. Everyone that present in the temple is all choking in tears. Even I feel sad for them. Just then, everyone abruptly stands up in panic. The crown prince grovels on the floor while apologizing for countless time. One by one coaxes him to stop lowering himself.


    ¡¸Prince Sulvian, please, this isn¡¯t your fault. ¡¹


    ¡¸It is our fate to have tasted this disaster. We have been greedy. ¡¹


    The prince himself feels way too guilty as he is after all the one that has the closest relation with the king since he is the crown prince.


    ¡¸But my father, he is the one that causes us to face his sins. We--¡¹


    A man of an elderly age pulls the crown prince up gently. The elder shook his head left and right lightly.


    ¡¸The royalty isn¡¯t at fault. Even we are like the king wanting more wealth and power. E-even if... We have to --- swallow this bitter pain memory. It is fate no, more like karma. ¡¹


    ¡¸We agree with him... ¡¹


    The 499 people that present in the temple all agree with the elder words in unison.


    ¡¸Everyone... ¡¹


    Afterwards, the gloominess inside the temple slowly faded away. The crown prince announce in energetic mode of my presence.


    DAMN IT! I¡¯m not mentally ready yet!


    Van walks straight to the stage with I¡¯m on his right shoulder.


    He whispers to me saying that I can use telepathy straight away.


    *Cough cough*


    Testing one and two...


    Um, I don¡¯t exactly understand why I¡¯m here but I was appointed as a Guardian like Prince Sulvian said just now. With Van as my vassal, as your warrior. Within my knowledge and abilities. I will do my best to help anyone that require my bits of help. The disaster that happens to you, don¡¯t let it disturb your true self. Everyone does mistakes. No, everyone will do some big mistakes. No mortal is perfect. The living is a test to every mortal, you will feel happy, sad and anger because they are part of your life.


    If I must say something, those that live through all the pain are the one that truly deserves a standing ovation.


    *clap clap*


    I was given huge applause for just a short speech, somehow inside my heart, there is a switch that I never know exist has been turned on.


    ¡­


    ¡¸Do you vow to never betray our kingdom? As our conservator, will you, throughout for your entire life assist our kingdom even after it¡¯s glorious day arrive? As our defender, do you vows to never harm our Asmodios kingdom in any aspect and will even commit yourself to make the kingdom peaceful and prosperous? Will you accept or not the blood oath and become our Seventh Guardian for our Asmodios?¡¹


    I accept the oath.


    ¡¸I hereby dub thee as Asmodios Guardian. ¡¹

 Chapter 8: A Guardian [Part 3]

    Chapter 8: A Guardian [Part 3]


    ¡¸All hail Goddess Rass! All hail Goddess Rass! ¡¹


    ¡¸Enough! The Goddess Rass is about to give her speech! ¡¹


    ¡¸WAHHHH ¡¹


    From behind the curtain, a silhouette can be seen. As the person steps forward slow and elegantly, she jumps on the balcony terrace and with both her hands raises upward, the folk¡¯s cheers in a festive mood.


    The silhouette¡¯s face turns upward majestically and the folks bow down automatically.


    The goddess face was finally seen and turns out it was a... grass.


    UWOOOHHHH!!!


    I woke up abruptly from the slumber because of an odd dream I had. What the hell was that? Good omen? Bad omen? Or, telling me that I will become a grass forever ???


    Just after I wake from that dream, the doorknob turns and the door was open wide to a gorgeous man. An ikemen.


    ¡¸Oh, Rass-sama has already wake up, Lord Van sure will be happy. ¡¹


    Um¡­ Who are you? You are not Van¡­ or anyone I know of.


    Dark Brown short hair, sky blue eyes, wears a pair of round glasses, teeth with no sharp fang and healthy skin color, unlike Dracula. I have never seen him before.


    The man just smiles gently before asking for permission to carry me to Van.


    I was sitting on his shoulder while he walks in relaxed pace to place that I know nothing of. At the hallway, even more people greets me and add ¨Csama but they seem cautious of the man.


    From the labyrinth where people are currently sleeping safely, he carried me to the second floor and then we walk down until we reach the garden farther away from Van and My statue. Well, I say walk but he was doing most of the work. There I saw many people sitting at the round table drinking tea peacefully. Behind the crown prince are two ladies with domineering aura.


    From a total of eleven people including this man and excluding me, I only know five people.


    Around the round stone table, they seem to have prepared a miniature chair which seems to be mine. The man put me down on the table and I naturally take a seat.


    Then Prince Sulvian coughed dryly twice and introduces the people around me with ease.


    Sitting on the right side of the prince is a man with monocles hanging in his formal suit, bright yellow eyes, and dull gray hair is the duke of Rosette. His name is Warlen Ace Rosette, one of the main benefactors of the kingdom. He greets me politely but his aura makes me feel he is even harder to handle than the crown prince.


    Sitting on the left side, with straight posture and elegant gestures while drinking tea is a woman.


    The woman is wearing a deep scarlet dress and a dark red bonnet hemmed with white laces on top of her head. Blonde hair, red ruby eyes, and her name, Anastasia Vire Lully. The principal of the once glorious magic academy. She is a stern woman and outstandingly grumpy. I don¡¯t know what her problem is but she has been glaring at me without even greeting me properly.


    After her, the crown prince introduced the twin of the marquise of Rogue that sit next to each other as the intelligence team of Asmodios. They have both same black hair but their eyes are odd. Alvin Rus Rogue eyes have dim sky blue color on the right side and bright violet color on the left side. While oppositely his twin younger brother, Louise Rus Rogue, has the bright violet color on the right side and dim sky blue color on the left side.


    And they only nodded with nonchalant expression when introduced.


    Then, Ma¡¯am Lina that I met when Van saved the crown prince from a man of the UNION.


    Ma¡¯am Lina has the title of Madam of Court because she always defends the real justice. She is the Queen Dowager¡¯s best friend according to Van¡¯s whispering. About that, Van has been using telepathy with me since the moment I sat down on the miniature chair.


    Uuuh, this bishounen is really a considerate person. If I was still a human, I would love it if I could chew him up.


    Ma¡¯am Lina cracked up a joke saying that I am the most powerful person here to be able to control a beast-like Van. I wonder if she intentionally does that so that I could ease up. Did she notice this tiny body of mine is stiff like hell? I wonder if that''s the case here.


    The next person cut off the crown prince sentences to introduce himself on his own.


    It was a man with no sharp fang just like the one that carried me here. But this man has curly medium length red hair and brown eyes. He gives courtesy unlike others while introduced himself with a playboy-like smile. This man isn¡¯t obnoxious since he is a seriously good-looking man but I don¡¯t like him even though he is polite.


    I almost wanted to shout how much I desired to kick his butt away with that smile of his. I feel the cringe all over my body. URGH~~


    Anyway, the man is a human and introduced himself as the Chief Executive Officer [CEO] of merchant guild in human kingdom and his name is as cringe as he is, Romeo Dan Novia.


    Afterward, Romeo introduces the one sitting next to him, which also the man that carried me here as the Chairman of the merchant guild and his name is Simon Ron Jazz.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    The one standing behind both of them is their bodyguard, Eremes Victor.


    ¡¸The one behind me is as you know, Rass-sama. So, onward to the main point, I--¡¹


    He gestures his right hand to the two ladies behind him chatting with each other leisurely. Queen Ivory and the Queen Dowager Manora. Afterward, he continues speaking wanting to discuss something important.


    Oi, wait, wait!


    There is something that I want to ask so cut him off. And face the two humans from merchant guild.


    Using Van as a mediator to chat with them, I ask.


    ¡¸So, both of you are from merchant guild? I see, is there any specific reason for not telling where you came from? It is, after all, vague to just say you came from the human kingdom. ¡¹


    Van was fighting with me in the telepathy about wanting to explain it himself but I stop him because I want to know from the human themselves. So, he just repeats what I ask him to say because I demand it.


    But at the same time, the two men simultaneously change their expression into a frown.


    ¡¸Rass-sama, your question is the vague one... ¡¹


    ¡¸Huh?¡¹


    Haha, Van truly followed exactly what I speak inside my mind.


    Then the glasses man explains thoroughly as if I am something worth fearing.


    ¡¸ Human kingdom is exactly the name of our kingdom. We have four kings and one emperor ruling over the whole human kingdom. ¡¹


    While that man explains, Van also told me that the Human Kingdom consists of a total of 4 kingdoms; Tornando, Tsuin, Volcan and Quakes. Ruled by one man that so mysterious even the human themselves know nothing about this emperor. He also mentions that there is a priest that is really powerful in that human kingdom. Which is why the UNION dares to make a move on the Asmodios Kingdom.


    However, the human kingdom isn¡¯t really related to the disaster that happens to the Asmodios Kingdom since the UNION has always acted on their own and the priest is known to never met them. At first, I thought it¡¯s weird for Van to know so many things about human, before even I ask, he told me that he and the glasses man is a close friend even before he ascends to the throne as a lord.


    Right, even if he once said that there wasn¡¯t anyone that sincere to be his friend since he ascends as a lord of a province, it¡¯s not like he didn¡¯t have friends at all. More like, it oppositely of what I thought.


    Hence, I face toward the crown prince and apologized for stopping him from talking previously.


    ¡¸So, I have understood everything. I¡¯m sorry for abruptly stop you from talking previously, Prince Sulvian. Could you please continue to the main point since I am curious about why I¡¯m here? ¡¹


    Van, that¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t follow my speech anymore. I will use telepathy from now on.


    When I order him to stop, Van immediately looks disappointed. Did he still want to continue as my mediator?


    It was awkward but I finally found out that since I have the skill of telepathy, others able to read my mind too as long as I allow them to. So, even though the human doesn¡¯t have mind reading ability, they still can read my mind.


    In a serious expression, the crown prince speaks his motive for summoning these important people including me. I don¡¯t really feel that important at all.


    ¡¸I, Sulvian Cross Vi Asmodios the crown prince will ascend into throne to provide moral support for the kingdom citizen. But, before I wear the king¡¯s crown, I want to know of the way to revive my kingdom. ¡¹


    As soon as the crown prince finish his words, silence went for a short time before Warlen-san share his idea but rejected by Ma¡¯am Lina.


    ¡¸We could buy slaves and repairs our kingdom. ¡¹


    ¡¸Wouldn¡¯t that just be the same like the previous year? And there are drawbacks for doing that such as we are despised by the slave¡¯s tribe. Though last year, the people back then aren¡¯t slave since they are just ¡®borrowed¡¯ from the other kingdoms legally for us to use for few months.


    It basically the same things. Just that, this year we kind of on a bad term with almost all kingdoms. ¡¹


    The idea has been used last year according to what their conversation. But honestly, it was a stupid idea, these people practically are a simpleton. Ma¡¯am Lina hence suggested her idea.


    ¡¸How about we summon undead to repair our kingdom? We don¡¯t have to waste our money and no tribe will be offended. ¡¹


    Her idea seems nice but Lady Anastasia scoffed as she points out the flaws of Ma¡¯am Lina suggestion.


    ¡¸Huh, sure it saves the cost but where will we find the necromancers for the job? All our necromancers have been cremated along with the enemy¡¯s corpses. If by chance we get the necromancer to do the job, undeads that are after all weak at sunlight will never get to finish repairing the kingdom anytime soon. ¡¹


    Right, that¡¯s what I thought too. But then I realize one thing, these people... They arethedracula and vampire, right? So why aren¡¯t they affected by the sunlight? Of course, I ask Van about it since he is always concerned about me. Hohoho.


    While the ladies bickering with each other, Van explains to me gently.


    Originally, the pure blood are definitely weak against the sunlight but there are some of them that are strong like Van, they could withstand the sunlight like any human. Now, after Van has gained power from sucking the vitality and blood of the Unicorn, a magical beast. He has more than enough power to share his sunlight nullity [according to my skill naming system] with everyone that born in this kingdom.


    The reason that it specific for those that who are born inside this kingdom; Van shared his power via the statue that was created at the center of the kingdom which is the goddess statue.


    The goddess statue is a unique artifact which allows strong warriors or even guardians to share their ability to other people via it.


    In a brief version of his explanation, the pure blood is able to withstand sunlight is because of him.


    And then, I return my focus toward the ladies.


    What the heck are these ladies bickering about for a while now... I don¡¯t even see the point anymore.


    ¡¸My academy is something worth of bragging, unlike your title that would only amount to my middle finger!!¡¹


    ¡¸W-what did you say?!!! My title is granted by the royalty! Your crappy kindergarten aren¡¯t even close to what I have sacrificed! And you want to brag about it?!! ¡¹


    ¡¸What did you just say?!!!!¡¹


    ¡¸Enough! ¡¹


    I''m glad that someone mediates to stop their embarrassing act. The person that bravely stopped the other two madams is none other than the Queen Dowager Manora. She steps closer forming a triangle with them sending electrocuted signal by glaring each other. She pointed her finger to their noses and pushes them upward before she states what¡¯s in her mind.


    ¡¸ When compared to me who assisted the first king to build this kingdom, you guys are nothing, so don¡¯t point your nose so highly! ¡¹


    OOOOIIIIIII!!!!!!


    What the heck is up with these people?! When will we even finish this discussing, no, we didn¡¯t even start yet, DAMN IT?!! Crown prince don¡¯t you just sit there holding your laughter, stop them! You stupid prince!


    And Van, don¡¯t you just shrug off your shoulder at me, DO SOMETHING!!


    Damn it¡­ these people are just stressing me out.

 Chapter 9: A Guardian [Part 4]

    Chapter 9: A Guardian [Part 4]


    I¡¯m glad that Queen Ivory is there to chill the three madams of high authority since the other are unreliable especially the crown prince himself and the strongest warrior, Van is watching them while holding back their laughter as if it was a gag show. Queen Ivory apologized about them to me, that I feel somehow guilty to make such a nice lady apologizing at such a small issue.


    I convinced her that it is fine and I did not feel any discomfort. Well, it ought to be obvious that the madams are still in their silent war. Perhaps they are using telepathy right now. Because the three has been glaring at each other and I somehow see a flame lit inside their eyes.


    Eventually, we were able to get to the main point. Many suggestions were rejected by the three madams. The Asmodios kingdom only lacks the labor while they had a countless mountain of treasure inside the palace¡¯s treasure house. Even though there were some of the ideas that I think it¡¯s great was suggested, the trio madams point out the flaws of the idea and make the brainstorming session dead.


    Each one of them emits cold aura and somehow it turns into a staring competition. While the crown prince is holding his laughter until his eyes let out tears. This stupid bishounen... He thought of such thing as an entertaining event for him. As for Van, he acts as if this has nothing to do with him.


    Urghh... they are stressing me out!!!


    And so, out of spontaneous response, I give my opinion and suggestion to the group discussion.


    ¡®Isn¡¯t it much easier to use your mountain of wealth to scout the other races like ogre?? Grant them indigenous status while you are at it.¡¯


    Little did I know that I actually give out such a brilliant idea, hmm~,I feel proud deep inside my heart.


    Everyone was staring at me with worshipping expression on their face. Except for lady Anastasia though, she is especially grumpy like I have wronged her.


    ¡¸Rass-sama... Are you a genius? ¡¹


    Never in my lifetime have I acknowledge myself as a genius, it was you people that were a simpleton! It was an idea that anyone except them could think of. But here these people including the human from merchant guild are staring at me with sparkling eyes.


    S-STOP IT, already! It was something that really is simple!


    Despite saying that, I would smirk right now if I had any mouth. The group discussion that was once dead was revived into a hot discussion. All agrees to my suggestion saying that it was reasonable though it was hard to do since the pure blood once subjugated many races.


    But what the pureblood had taken from the other races was their wealth without touching the mineral sources the other races had, and only the other races warrior¡¯s life without keeping the refugee or taking hostage. So, I don¡¯t think it was impossible to scout them.


    The crown prince that has been laughing before is now switching his mode into seriousness.


    ¡¸And so, like our guardian suggests, we will scout the other races soon. Alvin, Louise, I want both of you to make a list of the races that possible to scout. Make a map from our kingdom to the other races place while you are at it.¡¹


    The mysterious twin nodded and asks permission to be excused. These two only talk when asking to leave, even while the time when the discussion is flaring up, these two is using Van as their mediator.


    ¡¸As for Mr. Simon and Mr. Romeo, I on behalf of the kingdom hope that you can help us promoting the benefits of joining our kingdom to the other races, if you could, do includes your human kingdom. Duke Warlen, if you may, I want you to set up a team of the kingdom survivor as an escort for them. ¡¹


    The two humans agree to help but they didn¡¯t leave as they still had something to discuss with us. Since he had job to do, Duke Warlen bows before leaving. He took the chances before stepping out of the garden to praise me highly. Damn, my nose is now pointing high to the sky, could someone shrink it back?If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Suddenly, Prince Sulvian mentions my name. Did this man read my mind?


    ¡¸Rass-sama, we also have an important job for you if you don¡¯t mind. ¡¹


    Van! Didn¡¯t you say that I as a guardian didn¡¯t have to do much?? Van looks at me with sympathetic eyes. Don¡¯t give me that look, you liar. Shortly after Prince Sulvian told me of the mission that requires me to risk my life¡­ my nose shrinking, no, it¡¯s my whole body that shrinks.


    If I had the ability, I want to hide right now away from the devilish crown prince. But that was all my selfishness imagination. Sobs.


    ¡¸You and Van will be sent out to the UNION hideouts to save the Asmodios¡¯s most important man. I grant you the permission to choose ten out of the entire items inside the treasure house for you to use. And anything you choose will be yours for eternity. ¡¹


    ¡¸Ha?! ¡¹


    What the heck??!


    Both Van and I were shocked hearing the news. While Van was surprised in delight that he can choose the item from the treasure house, here I am standing abruptly showing how I opposed the idea.


    Why me?!!!!


    While drinking tea leisurely, he smiles for a bit before explaining.¡¸You and Van, are the only warrior we had left in our kingdom. So, I hope you agree. ¡¹


    Because of the sudden war with the UNION, the Asmodios only had five hundred or so survivor that mainly are weak. The survivor was able to survive because they hide under the goddess protection while the entire kingdom¡¯s warriors protect the kingdom with their all until they were buried together with the enemy under the earth.


    Had no option to reject even though I am weak, I had to agree. I only agree because Van promised to help me training and he said that he will show something nice on the way of the journey to save Douglass Minor, Van¡¯s uncle.


    It was unlikely for me to get as strong as Van in my condition right now but since I had the ability like rpg systems to help me, I willingly accept the important task.


    Then lady Anastasia simultaneously suggests that I and Van took a group of her personal disciples. I don¡¯t have anything against her so I just agree but unknowingly Van tried to stop me from agreeing.


    I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore liar! You said I as a Guardian will have leisure time but see now?? I had to follow you to a group of strong people hideouts which I doubt that I will live after fighting them.


    There wasn¡¯t much to discuss as most things have been tasked to the right individual by using Prince Sulvian authority. It was then noon came that Ma¡¯am Lina and Lady Anastasia asked to be excused. Few maids come close to us shortly after the two madam leaves.


    We were told that lunch has been prepared; the crown prince invites the humans to stay for the lunch and guide us all to the dinner hall. Van carried me on his shoulder on the way there because I will never arrive there from the garden with these short legs (roots).


    Even though the kingdom had an all-out-war just a few days ago, the food on the dining table was grandiose and I could hear clearly the humans¡¯ gulps down saliva to their throat. Too bad that I couldn¡¯t even touch the food or else the humans might not able to taste them at all.


    Van put me down on the dining table and a butler prepares a miniature chair next to Van¡¯s meal. That certainly looks delicious... Only after I sit down would the other sit. The title guardian shows such authority eh~? The only thing I like about being a guardian is I have a higher authority than the crown prince. But when Prince Sulvian becomes a king, we will share the same authority and the other has to treat us as importantly in the kingdom.


    -sighed-


    After becoming a weed, there are many things that I missed a lot about human. To eat, to bath and to talk, even though those things are not much to people that basically has physical liked human, I AM A WEED DAMN IT! Sob... Sob... seeing them eating in front of me, I want to curse even though I am not hungry and wasn¡¯t even fasting.


    Uuuu... hm? Unknowingly the people here have been constantly staring at me and the food on the dining table.


    Even the crown prince does that too... Van whispers to me asking something like ¡¸Are you okay? ¡¹, and saying things like asking me to forgive the servants about something and explain that the servants does it without the intention to slight me.


    What is this about?? And then I stare down to the plate of meal on the center of the dining table. It was a plate full of salad and there are also seaweed and herb look like weed.


    Ohh.........


    ...


    I don¡¯t know what to say because it was something unintentionally done by the servant. I am not the least slighted by their action but I do feel awkward when thinking they eat the salad.


    Finally, I set my mind that it was a food while I am living, so we have no connection to each other. I assured them that it was alright and I don¡¯t even mind. While joking and praising myself saying that vegetable is healthy for them which mean I am a healthy person! Nah, just kidding. It wasn¡¯t even a joke.


    I explain that food is food while I am myself, a living being. While also saying that I don¡¯t want someone to compare me with food intentionally, they relaxed and start eating the lunch.


    The servants that were once afraid had relaxed too and left the dining hall to continue their works.


    Hence, this time¡­


    The peaceful moment once again returns to me.

 Chapter 10: Origin of a Guardian [Part 1]

    Chapter 10: Origin of a Guardian [Part 1]


    His highness the crown prince, guides us to the palace¡¯s tower after we finished our meals. When I say us I mean me, Van, and the three humans. Queen Ivory went to the town with the palace¡¯s Intel to survey of its condition. While the Queen Dowager Manora is helping with the kingdom management with few others nobles. So, both of them could not join us, sigh they are such a busy people.


    Anyway, since the palace¡¯s tower was far away from the castle, we rode horses to there.


    Along the way to there, I took the chances to ask a few question to the humans. Since I was a human, I am curious about the human in this world. [Are there fellow gamers and otaku?] Is what I wanted to ask but I refrain from doing so.


    Unlike the talkative Romeo, Simon is taciturn and quiet. He only speaks when asked while Romeo will answer everything I ask but will also add some non-essential info. But there has been someone that has a shadow-like presence. He is there but somehow, people ignore him like it was something natural. It was none other than the other two human¡¯s bodyguard, Eremes.


    Knowing is essential for life, so I inquire information from him. Turns out, Eremesis a real knight. He works for the Volcan¡¯s crown prince as his personal knight. But the two are his friends since childhood, so he offers himself to be their bodyguard because there wasn¡¯t anyone even in the mercenary guild accept the mission to escort them to the Asmodios Kingdom.


    This is caused by the world-wide rumor of the war that happens between the pure blood and the UNION.


    Though the majorities of the human aren''t supporting the UNION, they too aren¡¯t those type to provoke UNION for fun. The UNION has one mission that known by all human since the kingdom of human was developed, it was to gain control of the world.


    Well, I am not surprised at all, like come on I¡¯m not an otaku for nothing. As matter of fact, everyone is after all born with greed in their soul. Whether you are greedy for good or bad, it depends on you and there are some that were born as extremist, like the UNION. After all, everyone does desire something in their heart. Greed is simply the intense desire for more and I remember that in my past life, sometimes even I always crave to do extreme stuff like; stuffed my mouth with an extreme proportion of food or more anime episodes.


    Just the right time when we finished our conversation, Prince Sulvian indicates that we have arrived. All of us dismounted the horse and tied it to the nearest tree.


    As we get closer, I notice how the tower seems to has been abandoned for a long time, with dust, mold and treesvine circulate around it. The building was purposely made as huge and tall, with only one wooden door. There wasn¡¯t any special feature at the exterior only that the tower has two knobs on its door and the stairs are visible from the outer side. On top of the tower, there is a huge golden bell.


    One door has golden colors knob while the other one has plain gray color but has a snake symbol on it. His highness uses both his hand to turn the two knob. The golden colors turn to the left side while the snake-symbol knob turns to the right side. Simultaneously, a *clack* sound was heard.


    *creek* The door was wide open and then we saw two stairs. One is spiral stairs heading to the top of the tower while the other one heading the underground. We choose to climb up the stairs, I was carried by Van again but this time I sat on his head, oh his hair is so soft, as expected of the silky white hair.


    There wasn¡¯t any particular reason for me to do it but the crown prince especially suggests that when going to the palace¡¯s tower, one must expose themselves to nature and in exchange for doing so, they will be blessed before entering the forbidden area.


    The tower was named after their first queen, Yulia Light. When I ask for what reason they made such tower using her name. Both Van and the crown prince went silent for a long time beforereplying.


    They start to mention something about I was their first guardian since the last 100 years ago and odd thing that doesn¡¯t explain anything.


    ¡¸Yulia Light, other than she was our first queen. She is also our first guardian that related to our goddess, Ruvia Light and we bring you here to send you to ¡­ them.¡¹


    Say what??


    ¡¸We have arrived. ¡¹


    While I¡¯m still confused about what his highness the prince said, Van mentions that we have arrived at the top of the tower. The golden bell is visible at the center, strangely there wasn¡¯t anything like a rope that sticks the golden bell to the tower. It is floating mid-air, yup using my power of common sense that is a treasure alright.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Later on, the prince chants something that I couldn¡¯t understand. Van explains in brief that it was their ancient language. Simultaneously after the chants stop, the bell rings itself.


    ¤´©`¤ó!*gong* *doong* *dong* *gwoong*


    *whoosh*


    A door abruptly appears out of nowhere in front us, before I could understand the situation, Van put me down on the floor. Then, Prince Sulvian opens the door wide and blank dark spaces is shown.


    ¡¸Rass-sama, please enter this room.¡¹


    What room? There is no ro---


    ¤°¤ê¤ó¤Ã*push* *shove*


    Just when I about to ask them, someone pushed me into the door with a light tap.


    ¡­


    ¡°T---¡±


    What was that¡­ I heard a sound. Am I floating in the space right now? It seems like it, there is no floor or ceiling to define the direction of up, down, left and right. The place is all dark.


    DAMN IT! What was that all about, is this how you treat your guardian?! I don¡¯t understand a single thing at all and they didn¡¯t explain any.Those brutes, I almost fell down don¡¯t you think that¡¯s losing face for your guardian? Falling down from a small tap, sheesh.


    ¡°Th¡­¡±


    This place is entirely black space. I don¡¯t see anything except my body floating in the mid air.


    Just then, I feel like I have been sucked into a vacuum.


    AAAaaaaaa!!!


    ¡­


    ¡°Three hundred thousand years ago. Asmodios was known as the holy land of pureblood.¡±


    [Hnnngh¡­ Ugh, what the heck just happened.]


    ¡°Since the beginning of the age of purebloods, humans has felt threatened by their presence. The world never tastes the sweetness of peace ever since then, they could only long for it to appear again for their whole lifetime in the world.¡±


    [While hearing the solemn voice of gloominess of a woman inside my mind, there was like a 3D cinema in front of me. Dracula with vampires and Humans with the other races are fighting among themselves in a large scale war.]


    ¡°The human was the majorities of the world population but the purebloods was the first to rules over the other races. Because of envy of their power, greed for more, fear the potential for being ruled over by the pureblood.


    The humanity starts to agitate the pureblood and made a pact with the other races so that they could fight against the purebloods. They attacked Asmodios kingdom without warnings during the day since they know that the sunlight is after all the purebloods main weakness.¡±


    The voice explains the situation as the humans and the purebloods war but there were some other races that join hand with the humans. Mainly was elves and ogres. On the opposite side, the pureblood has undeads summoned by their necromancers. As the humans advanced forward to attack the pureblood empire.


    Obviously, one must protect their holy land till the end of their life. Even at dire state, they still fight with their all. Asmodios sent their soldiers to the war field, they defend their kingdom earnestly. The vampires and draculas defend on the kingdom¡¯s wall while constantly sent some of their troops to join with the vanguard.


    ¡°The purebloods are stronger than the humans, yet due to their innate weakness of the sunlight weakens them allowing the humans to take the advantage of the war. However, once the night arrives the human must retreat because that is when the true power of the Draculas can be brought forth. At night, because of the full moon shine brightly, the Draculas and Vampires able to heal their wounds from the earlier fight.¡±


    Due to this constant retreats by the humans and ongoing efforts by the purebloods, this became a thousand years war with no end in sight.


    ¡°Humanity were great in numbers but the purebloods were not losing in the battle. They fought furiously while displaying their elegance in the fight. Magician, necromancers, witches, sword masters, there wasn¡¯t anyone that did not contribute in the war. They proved that number wasn¡¯t everything inside a battle.¡±


    It was exactly like a historical movie just more realistic and without mosaic. People fighting here and there, blood gushing out and people trampled on others corpse no matter it was a companion or enemies. The tension could be felt in the air, seeing the war close up wasn¡¯t something to laugh at since it wasn¡¯t like a movie that ¡®we know it just a fiction¡¯.


    [Yet, even though I watch the war with seriousness, in my mind I wonder if in this world has a cinema too¡­]


    Afterward, just when the humans were about to lose, a hero was born in the human kingdom. The war that raged on for a thousand years was about to end due to a genius commander who was strong as million men, wiser than any sage, more cunning than any conman. The commander was a secret weapon of the human; if the pureblood had known about him then he wouldn¡¯t have able to survive through puberty and appeared in the war.


    The commander with his ingenious tactics let the pureblood to be clueless while his actual strength made them speechless. He appeared in the battlefield wearing a white armor with golden lining that had engraved carvings and his appearance on the battlefield changed the whole momentum of the fight. With their new profound strength the humans once again rushed into the fight, slaughtering the Asmodios¡¯s soldier.


    ¡°The moment human¡¯s legendary warrior appeared, the tide of the war sided with the humanity.¡±


    ¡¸RAGGGHHHHHH!!! ¡¹


    Simultaneously while the woman''s voice explains, the legendary warrior roars soaring through the whole continent and agitates the humans into berserk-mode.

 Chapter 11: Origin of A Guardian [Part 2]

    Chapter 11: Origin of A Guardian [Part 2]


    Because of the fearsome roars, even the undeads and those that hide behind the wall of the kingdom startled as they start to lose their fighting spirit and become weak.


    Asmodios¡¯s soldiers also affected by the road and lost their fighting spirit hence retreats without realizing. This was the first time since the war that has lasted for thousand years that the pureblood felt afraid, the man had become their nightmare forever to haunt them. One after another, the soldiers back away from the fight was being dominated by the humans.


    [Just what the heck happens here¡­ I was too busy focusing on the war, figuring out things that happen till I forgot to comment. Ara ara, even though I can¡¯t see his face this warrior has a majestic air that¡¯s even more profound than Van¡¯s. Who is this mysterious man?]


    ¡°Even at night, the humans ignoring the difference in strength in the pureblood, they continue to advances due to their new profound strength.¡±


    For only seven days, the results of the purebloods surrendering slowly become visible and traitors of the purebloods start showing their true appearance making the Asmodios kingdom deteriorates even faster.


    The humans relentlessly fought against the purebloods without giving the chance for them to breath in the air. Their effort paid off because the humans soon enough were able to penetrate into the kingdom. They began an indiscriminate slaughter; they killed soldiers, villagers, vampires and the innocents children without even giving a second thought. Their goal was to leave nothing behind as they were worried of hero appearing on the pureblood side similar to what had happened to the humans.


    Within all the ruckus that happen at the outside, the Asmodios¡¯s top officials; ministers and the nobles are hiding inside their labyrinth with few wizards.


    [Ahh, such a coward, I pity the soldiers since they had sacrificed their life for nothing.]


    Suddenly, a gorgeous woman with totally albino appearance starts to instruct the wizard to create a magic-like circle at the center of the cramped room. The albino woman, her hair, and skin were the fairest of them all; her silky smooth hair was around her waist. Her eyes displayed a sense of pride and confident however there was a hint of nervousness as well as sadness.


    Despite the war has been going on for thousands of years she is one of the few that has survived this long. The duration of the war has slowly penetrated her, changing her forever. She has seen bloodshed of her people, she had seen her children died as they put themselves at risk to protect the kingdom, she has seen it all throughout this thousand year of the war.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    It has made her wary and tired of all the chaos and destruction, all she desire is peace for the kingdom, peace for her people and for tranquility to be restored.


    Meanwhile, the queen and others officials are hiding inside the labyrinth, the first king of Asmodios, Rosenberg Grim Asmodios, was desperately delaying for the time. Even when everything was looking bleak he never gave up the hope that he had in his wife. He believes that she is their only hope to survive this disaster that happens to the kingdom. Even if it is one of Millenium chances, he would gamble his life for it to happen.


    All he knows is that he had to protect this kingdom that he had built, with his sweat and blood, he has survived this long due to the sacrifice of his people. He must not waste this chance or else he would have committed a terrible sin and dishonor himself.


    And then, he appeared¡­ the commander that makes his kingdom taste these bitter experiences.


    All of his feelings overwhelmed him once he saw this man, this man standing so proudly and indifferent as if all the slaughtering did not affect him. He looks as if the slaughter of Rosenberg¡¯s people meant nothing. To Rosenberg, this man should never have existed, this man should no longer live another day.


    Behind the white helmet that covered his whole face, the man¡¯s eyes lit for a short moment. Within a sec, he dashed forward and leaped in the air.


    ¥¶¥·¥å, *zashu* *slash*


    *ftang!*


    Inside the palace, both the man and the king sword clashed with each other.


    For once, the man actually spoke.¡¸If not for you people to have agitated the human, you will not have suffered.¡¹He speak with confidence without faltering as he exchanges slash with the king.


    The king glares him with full of vengeance and hatred, he replies without stopping the offense.


    ¡¸Don''t think that you have won. You have yet known of the world.¡¹


    As he exchanged slash, he finally found and opening on the man¡¯s back. He dashed while grips his sword tightly as he provokes the man.


    ¡¸You brat who has only lived for few years, what do you actually know of this world. Ha, your knowledge will only amount to my pinky.¡¹


    ¡¸Is that so, then I will give my condolence for you will no longer keep that knowledge that you are so proud of since¡­ You will have to die now.¡¹


    ¥µ¥µ¥ó *sasan *slash slash*


    Just the moment the slashing sound was heard, the man has put his sword next to his rear.


    The king fell down and was on his knee, there was a silence that appeared momentarily and then the king slowly falls down on the floor with his head apart from his body.


    His eyes still showed his feeling before death; hatred, envy, regret and disbelief.


    [Ah, that was so tense that I almost forgot to breathe in air. Luckily I¡¯m a weed, hehe.]


    The man in white armor gives a signal by pointing his forefinger to the sky, his soldier was given a direct order find the secret path to the labyrinth, while he goes somewhere else.

    Chapter 12: Origin of A Guardian [Part 3]


    It was then a bell ringing throughout the kingdom.


    ¤´©`¤ó!*gong* *doong* *dong* *gwoong*


    From the sky, a light pierces through from the thick cloud and then petrified all the humans that were present on the battlefield. The queen, Yulia Light, and the others survivor hurriedly climb to the top of the castle hall, then prostrate themselves to the direction of the light.


    Then a melancholy voice was heard clear and loud before the divine being descended down to the earth in a holiness robe.


    [Gahh, a bishoujo, she is too bright for me! I can¡¯t even describe her beauty.]


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Blind Resistance level 5 Become level 6¡»


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Blind Resistance level 6 Become level 7¡»


    [Even without the narrator to speak, I know who this is. ]


    ¡°The goddess, Ruvia Light has descended to the earth by the wish of the queen, Yulia Light that summons her using the corpse of her people and her beloved one. Even if it was to make her heart go numb and for her emotion to be lost forever. She just wanted to save her husband¡¯s precious kingdom, she willing to sacrifice everything for it.¡±


    With solemn domineering tone, the goddess speaks with her heavenly voice that enchanted every soul that heard it.


    ¡¸Humans. Are you not tired of this senseless fighting and chaos?¡¹


    The humans were still petrified but they were able to hear her perfectly.


    [Ahhh, even her voice. I feel like crying, what a sad day to be female. Oh, am I a female ever since I became a weed? There is no boob or any **** at the weed body part so maybe I am genderless. Fufufu.]


    Just then, Rass noticed one odd thing that''s missing from the battlefield.


    [Why are there only soldiers and other races, where is the full armored man and the other generals. I remember seeing them in few part of the scene. The last time I saw the full armored man was after he killed the king. ]


    ¡­...¡­


    ¡­¡­


    ...


    [Gah! Could it be they have left the soldiers while they return to their kingdom¡­ HOW RUDE! This is war you damn it! THAT¡¯S NOT HOW YOU DO A WAR!! You have to finish this whole war thing before you return to your kingdom with glory!!]


    Rass cursed many times before focusing back to the story.


    ¡°Only Heaven know how much pain the queen feels right now but she still not shed even a drop tear from her eyes, and even displaying an emotionless expression.¡±


    After the narrator speaks, the goddess gave two options to the humans and the soldier that left on the battlefield.


    ¡¸Either to retreat to your kingdom or surrender. I know that it was in your nature to fight against others but you have overdone it. Have your ancestor forgot to remind you that one will taste the divine wrath for exterminating whole races? ¡¹


    From afar, few shadows can be seen hiding behind the trees while spectating the whole ordeal. If it was others, they wouldn¡¯t notice it but Rass has spotted the shadows with her ¡°Observe Level 3¡± and ¡°Enhanced Vision Level 5¡±, she can see things easily compared to others though she could only see the shadows for now.


    ¡¸So, there was no one here that has the intention to retreat or surrender. Very well then.


    Sky hear your lord, Earth obey my word, from this moment until the end of the world itself, HUMAN WILL NEVER GAIN THE PEACEFULNESS THAT THEY WANT! THEY SHALL RECEIVE THE PUNISHMENT FROM THE HEAVEN! ¡¹


    *BOOM!*


    [Ahhhh!!!----?...??...


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.Phew, that scared me.


    Right this is just a vision, I¡¯m not actually there.]


    From various place volcano erupted, a tsunami hit, earthquakes tear apart the earth and separated the land into the continents that existed now. At the Asmodios kingdom, everyone except those purebloods that stayed inside the palace.


    For an unknown reason, surrounding all the pureblood was a holy shield protecting them from the disaster. While the human soldier and their companion all experienced the disastrous effect of the Goddess¡¯s power.


    On that day, it wasn¡¯t just the purebloods that lost their people. The human themselves suffered many losses and the war ended with no winners just survivors. The overdue peace finally came at a huge exchange with billion of souls being lost.


    The goddess then gets closer to the queen. She stares the queen with mixed of emotion for a short period before closing her eyes and did not open it for a while. When she open them instead of mixed emotion there was an only pure conviction.


    ¡¸This war is over, even though the lost souls will not return; let peace be restored under my command. If anyone wants to go against my command then let this be an example of what might happen.¡¹


    Her voice resonances throughout the palace with the effect of calming the people.


    ¡¸We are thankful for the goddess...¡¹


    ¡¸ My name shall be known by the mortal as Ruvia Light. You do not need to know my real name, do not depend on me. I as the goddess shall not disturb the mortal world, but if there was anything that destroys the world balance, I shall be ruthless to them.¡¹


    When the people heard her name, they all had a disbelief and shocked emotions placed on their face especially the queen, Yulia Light. Despite her effort to keep an emotionless expression, her eyes could no longer lie about her true feelings. As her eyes start to become teary as she began to stutter.


    ¡¸A-are you that Ruvia Light? Was it yo--¡¹


    ¡¸Yes, I am the only Ruvia Light in the mortal world. As you might have guessed, you carry my blood, the Light Bloodline, inside of you. A child born out a vampire and a demon, what are the chances? I did not foresee this to happen and I didn¡¯t think that the vampires and draculas would get so hot headed that they would think themselves as pureblood.¡¹


    The queen face lowered down in shame since this was a problem that was mainly caused by her. Without her being conceived they would not call themselves the pureblood nor would they be so proud and arrogant till it actually destroyed their whole kingdom. After calling themselves pureblood for so long they got delusional thinking they are the strongest, thinking they are supreme.


    Now, not only the humans have learned something, even the whole Asmodios folks has learned that there was something even more powerful than they are. While the king and queen may be wise and know better, if their people are delusional then this would still lead to their end.


    The goddess at first want to mock the queen so that she realize her wrongdoing, however, seeing that her descendant shown a guilty expression, she rejected the idea.


    ¡¸Hmph, the Pureblood title doesn¡¯t mean anything to us but if you people want to continue to be called as the Pureblood, I shall test you and see if you truly deserve such a title.¡¹


    ¡¸What kind of test¡­ We shall meet your expectation.¡¹


    ¡¸Billions of life were lost in this battle not only that, even the world itself has changed completely. The magnitude of this is something that can be ignored and this is all because of your people¡¯s arrogant. ¡¹


    ¡¸W-we understand...¡¹


    [In my mind, I was swearing. ISNT IT ****ING YOU RUVIA, THAT GIVE THE PUNISHMENT?! Well, I wouldn¡¯t hold back from swearing in my mind, even if that person is a goddess. It¡¯s not out of envy for her beauty, I¡¯m not lying. ]


    With her leaf-hand, Rass making the **** gesture to the goddess face. Meanwhile, the goddess with a proud and domineering attitude said to the Asmodios''s survivor.


    ¡¸If you were able to collect even one of the 7 Path of Divine''s treasure that is either hidden in anywhere from the deepest seabeds to the highest sky, within the light of the soul or the darkness of night, from the coldest of frozen mountains to the fiery volcano, it may even be located in the core of this motherland, Gaia, I will officially give the title Pureblood to you.¡¹


    [No! NOO, this is a mistake, why are you showing me this. This is just triggering flags from right to left, even the death flag.]


    Rass starts rolling side-way, banging her head and shookher whole body vigorously in panic, she could feel her blood pressure rising and she could explode at any time.


    ¡¸Those thing are fine but I have yet to punish you people for your big mistake.¡¹


    ¡¸We¡­ accepts any punishment.¡¹


    ¡¸Then, Hear me the sky, Obey me the earth, from here on, Yulia Light will receive the title Guardian for the contribution that she has done for her kingdom and will be imprisoned in the Asmodios for eternity even after death! Only when a descendent find all of the 7 Path of Divines will she be able to die. ¡¹


    [WHAT???!!!!!!! THAT SO MESSED UP!!!! WHAT DOES GUARDIAN DOES GOOD FOR HER THEN?! IT JUST WORKS LOADING UP!


    Sob¡­ I pity her¡­ and pity me...]


    ¡ºOrigin of A Guardian acquired.¡»


    At long last, the scene faded away and Rass return to the empty blank space.


    I acquired something similar to ¡ºOrigin of Race¡» which I have no clue about it..... This is going to end well for me, is it? Just when I busy speaking with my mind, a familiar silhouette of a woman was seen.


    ¡°Hello there¡­ it¡¯s been hundred years since I last saw someone here.¡±


    What.


    Da.


    Heck¡­


    ...


    HOW COME YOU CAN TALK TO ME?!!

 Chapter 13: Origin of A Guardian [Part 4]

    Chapter 13</a>: Origin of A Guardian [Part 4]</a>


    It took me few minutes to accept the fact that someone whom ¡°SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD CAN TALK TO ME?!¡±


    Yap, I am shocked! Very shocked! Incredible shocked!


    Why wouldn''t I be shocked seeing a ghost even though the ghost is very beautiful, so beautiful that my past self should hide quietly inside... Whatever! It''s not like my past self is pathetic. Though I am right now... *sniffled* sob...


    Anyway, at this current moment, I am speaking my mind with Yulia-sama.


    As for why I have to apply -sama to her name is; she is way older than I am [300 thousand years +++, you think?? If that wasn¡¯t old enough, I don¡¯t know what would it be.] and she is also the very first guardian of Asmodios.


    I got a nickname for her right here, ¡°Ancestor¡±, hehe.


    Hm? I-It¡¯s not rude! It suits her well! She is old, way older than my own great grandmother in my past life. It¡¯s totally not rude.


    Uhuh, even though she is way older, her appearance stays youthful just like in the history vision that I watch earlier.


    Oddly, her body is almost transparent, white from head to toes. I shall classify her as an A-class beautiful divine being. If not for the reason that I had ¡ºBlind Resistance¡»level 7, I wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the shining effect that she has close up.


    After calming down and chatting with her, I found out that I am still not an official guardian of the Asmodios even though I went through the vow that was witnessed by the entire kingdom folks. There was still other requirements that must be met before I can truly be an official guardian.


    Besides the guardian talk, I got to know her personally while conversing with her using my mind.


    Apparently, after hundreds thousand years staying inside the tower alone has made her has an unstabilized emotional state. Sometimes she will talk about the sad thing in a joking tone and be reminiscing about the happy thing in either angry or sad tone. Her isolation in the in this tower had almost broken her, however, her loneliness has definitely affected her. Which make me fear of the consequences if I don¡¯t meet anyone after that day I born in this world as a weed.


    Oh well, those things are in past, ha-ha-ha...


    Jokes aside, I noticed that she would become gloomy whenever she talked about guardians.


    (-_-'''') Yeah, I feel her.


    A Guardian is nothing except more work loading up. I only accepted the title of Guardian because of Van, The Traitor, said that I would not have to do anything except sharing my power. Gr¡­ just thinking about it makes me angry.


    ---Currently at the underground---


    While climbing down the stairs, ¡¸Achoo!¡¹ Van suddenly sneezes, making everyone jolt in surprise.


    ¡¸Did you catch a cold, Van-sama?¡¹


    With Simon''s question, everyone stares at Van with worry. The kingdom''s strongest warrior catching a cold in the middle of summer is nothing but a bad omen. Especially during such a vulnerable time for the kingdom, this can only be seen as a sign of disaster. Van rubs his nose and replies with a nonchalant face.


    ¡¸Don''t worry, this isn''t a cold, but someone cursing at me.¡¹


    ¡¸Is that so?¡¹


    The moment they know that he doesn''t catch a cold, everyone sigh in relief.


    The purebloods¡¯ sixth sense is especially keen, to the point that they are able to detect something as small as someone holding a grudge against them. They are simpletons so they didn¡¯t think much and ignore most things because it¡¯s easier for them in the short run.


    If worst was to come, they would just use their fist to talk. You would imagine purebloods to be smart, cunning and fight with their words however the actual race are the complete opposite. Simpleton, the most appropriate word to describe them with.


    As they walked, they soon reach the tower of the dungeon that has two huge stone doors with one angelic holy wing on the right side, one devilish dark wing on the left side.


    ¡¸We have arrived.¡¹


    ---Back to Rass---


    It seems that I have misunderstood something while watching the history previously.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    Yulia-sama never died, not even once in the past three hundred thousand years of confinement. She was condemned by the goddess Ruvia to be imprisoned in the kingdom forever until a descendant could find all 7 path treasures. Or else she will not die since that was included in the punishment¡­


    However, that still doesn¡¯t explain why she has an almost transparent body and why she was confined inside this tower.


    Turns out, Yulia-sama was the one to operate the whole tower with her power. The reason I was able to see the vision of the history was because she wanted me to see it, which surprised me in a pleasant way.


    Out of curiosity, I ask if it was one of the guardian¡¯s abilities, and she replies in her sweet melodic voice.


    ¡¸It is.¡¹


    BANZAI!!! OH YEAH! NOW! I¡¯m interested in becoming a guardian, if it grants me power then it will be worth the responsibility of a guardian.


    Thank goodness there was something good that I can obtain from being a guardian, if not...


    The stupid his highness the crown prince and the strongest warrior of Asmodios will suffer from tasting my wrath.


    ---In front of the dungeon entrance---


    ¡¸ACHOO!¡¹


    Both Van and Prince Sulvian sneezed simultaneously in front of the entrance. The three humans look at the two with worry. Yet again, Simon asked about their condition.


    ¡¸Are you sure you didn''t catch a cold?¡¹


    Van and Prince Sulvian exchange glance before answering in a playful tone. They know who was it that cursing them and able to guess why that person is cursing.


    ¡¸We are fine, haha. I''m sure that there was someone cursing us out of angry.¡¹


    ¡¸Perhaps it was the UNION.¡¹


    ¡¸If you say so, we don''t have problem with it.¡¹


    Since it was nothing serious, the group continues to search for the entry to open the dungeon¡¯s gate.


    ---Back to Rass---


    Yulia-sama has abused her own limits each time a guardian candidate comes to the kingdom to give guidance.


    For 300 thousand years, she continuously shows the same history using the guardian ability to those that enter the "Room of The Lost" which is the dark space that I was forced to enter because of the top-notch idiots [Van and Sulvian].


    Though it wasn¡¯t anything important, I must say that I intend to stop being polite as I won¡¯t add -sama or Prince to the duo of idiocy until they give me at least ten of the ¡°it make sense¡± reasons for not telling me why they sent me here without explaining anything.


    Back to the main point, Yulia-sama current physical state is due to the fact that she has met countless candidates but not one of them able to become the true guardian that able to manage the kingdom until its glory day. Using the guardian ability past the limits would torment the user to pain beyond compare.


    To reduce the pain she suffered when pushing her limits, she had sacrificed her physical body which turned her into the state at the current.


    There is also the so-called test that involves her to use her own soul power to control the dimension of the test room. If anything strange that defies the law of the world happens inside the test room, her soul would get affected but she will never die. She would only suffer the incomparable pain that torment her days and nights without stop until it subsides.


    If I as the Nth guardian candidate fail to successfully become a guardian, Yulia-sama might have to be invisible for the rest of her life and fall into oblivion. Which I pity her and could relate to her feeling.After becoming a weed, I¡¯ve unconsciously forgotten about my family back on ¡®Earth¡¯ and they might also have forgotten my existence.


    Forgetting about others is one thing, but being forgotten is a feeling that couldn¡¯t be compared with anything.


    Despite saying such thing, I thought secretly to myself that it''s fine to forget and to be forgotten. If anyone from my past world knows my current state, I don¡¯t know how to explain it to them. I don¡¯t even remember my name¡­ I don¡¯t even remember my name.


    I slap myself to wake up, not that it hurt at all since my hand is a leaf but that is aside, even if I try my hardest, I don¡¯t even know what have happened to me and how things happen. So, I will leave it for now.


    Suddenly, after I was busy thinking about myself, Yulia-sama chant something incoherently.


    A bright light spread out from the center of her hands to everywhere inside the dark space.


    ¡ºSkill Announcement: Blind Resistance has reached Level 8 ¡»


    The blinding light stays only for a short period and then a grim color door appeared out of nowhere in front of her.


    ¡¸Rass, the Asmodios¡¯s Guardian Candidate, will you or will you not accept the test to become rightful Guardian of Asmodios?¡¹


    Eh? W-what?


    This is so sudden! What is up with you people, is it a habit to do something weird to other people without explaining anything just yet?!


    ¡¸Is it a rejection?¡¹


    No¡­ but, if I accept the test that I know nothing of, I will lose and your effort will be wasted totally.


    Depending on the situation, I might still lose since I am not as strong like your kin said I am. Therefore, it wouldn¡¯t hurt it if you explain things in detail on what I have to do and what is inside the test room.


    ¡¸Rass, even if the heaven itself was to send punishment on me when you really did fail the test, I wouldn¡¯t mind. Even if it was another thousand years or million years later, I will still wait for the rightful guardian.¡¹


    Such positive mind is good for you¡­ BUT IT''S BAD FOR ME!! ¡ºRage Activated.¡»


    YOU AND YOUR KIN, HAVE YOU GOT ANY IDEA WHAT I¡¯VE GOING THROUGH SINCE THE DAY I TURN INTO A ****ING DAMN WEED?!


    YOU DON¡¯T! AND YOU WON¡¯T UNDERSTAND!!


    WHAT IS YOUR PEOPLE PROBLEM?!! If you like to feel pain and like to hurt others because you guys have an internal problem of sadomasochism, do it on each other of your own and DO NOT INVOLVE OTHERS THAT HAS NO RELATION TO YOU, WOULD YOU PLEASE?!!

    The day went longer for Rass and Yulia Light that tremendously shocked seeing someone actually went mad at her.


    Meanwhile, the group of five men at the underground was greeted by a sexy woman wearing witch-like outfit.

 Chapter 14: Origin of a Guardian [Part 5]

    Chapter 14</a>: Origin of a Guardian [Part 5]</a>


    While Rass continues on her rant which doesn¡¯t seem like it would stop anytime soon, in front of the dungeon gate, the group of five men encountered a woman with dark blue silky hair hidden under a black pointy head, dark blue jacket with long sleeves creating wavy motion as she move, black long cape behind her and wearing a dark bloody red short skirt. In her left hand, she was holding a metal case.


    There was subtle ominous aura emitted by the woman as soon as her two golden eyes and the three humans¡¯ eyes met.


    Sulivan coughed for twice to gain the woman attention. In short moment, she changes her expression from menacing glare to serene, calm and collected as soon as she realized she was in the presence of the future ruler of the Asmodios. She kneels immediately and give her respect by hitting her left shoulder using right hand as the gesture of the respect to both Sulvian and Van, but not to any of the humans.


    Without beating around the bush, she introduced herself as the dungeon gates guardian, also...


    ¡¸I am the 3rd guardian of the Asmodios.¡¹


    For someone who doesn¡¯t know who she is, was to be expected to be shocked.


    It was a bizarre situation for even the resident of the kingdom themselves to stun from the news, apparently, they didn''t know.


    Which mean, the woman is from the older generation past the few thousands of years.


    ¡¸The 3rd guardian?! ¡¹


    Romeo was surprised and asked purely out of curiosity while he was mesmerized by the woman¡¯s beautiful appearance. However, this was unfortunately replied with the threatening blade pointed to his throat yet it was no more than a second as the blade was answered by Van¡¯s counteract. The sudden attack made Romeo sweat and looked and his face became pale, luckily his life was saved by the effort of Van¡¯s.


    The humans sighed in relief only for short moment before Sulvian warned them through telepathy.


    ¡°From now and on, if any of you wish for uncertain death you are free to talk. If it was otherwise, please avoid the needless speaking.


    Assuming you got something to ask, please wait until we finish our business here.¡±


    It was unnecessary for the first sentence of the talks but it shows how unpredictable this woman is and how dangerous she was.


    Without further question, the humans agreed simultaneously and the woman asks to be addressed by her codename, Mourn.


    In the human''s mind, the thoughts are ¡°The gates guardian¡­ which mean she has the key to open the gate or something similar that will open the gate.¡± ¡°As the dungeon guardian, she holds important roles which explain her attitude toward us¡±.


    On the contrary of what they thought, she hold nothing.


    From her whole existence is inside her metal case, she hold nothing.


    While the humans were busy with their wild guesses, the prince inquires the dungeon report from Mourn.


    ¡¸My deepest apologizes Prince Sulvian and Van-sam. For only the guardian can access entry into the dungeon as it was the rule as well as the test from the origin.


    Only because I am also an entity which has the title kingdom guardian that I was able to enter the dungeon but I will not able to give the path to anyone to enter it.¡¹


    ¡¸Is that so, even though our kingdom already fall into ruin so we hope to assist this one candidate as she is the sole hope we have for the kingdom revival, you still wouldn¡¯t let us in, is that right?. Although it is unofficial, the majority of the kingdom folks including you have come to an agreement on me as the rightful sole candidate for the future king, you will not concede, would you? ¡¹


    ¡¸... Precisely.¡¹


    Anyone could tell from her face and tone that she is unshakeable, resolute and determined - even if death was only an inch away from her, she wouldn''t be fazed. Needless to say, she is, after all, a guardian of the kingdom, one that has vowed to protect the kingdom the moment she was chosen by the citizen, acknowledge by the nobles and in olden days had she already become an official guardian recognized by the first guardian.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    Sulvian sighed as though he was terribly exhausted and disappointed. He exchanged glance with Van and they come to an agreement, which made him ¡®request¡¯ Mourn ¡®earnestly¡¯ though his firm and stern voice and his royal aura. Both him and Van sat on the dusty ground as firm as a mountain with no intention to leave until Mourn changes her mind.


    ¡¸Very well, it is understandable as it is your duty to move accordingly the first guardian¡¯s will but we would only leave the place at once when we have seized what we want. ¡¹


    Their attitude... one would not guess that they are the supreme of a kingdom as they act totally like a child asking for his toys with *humphing* attitude. Like cat caught her tongue, Mourn had no idea how to deal with this people. The aura was needless as it doesn''t effect Mourn even a bit. It seems as time goes by the simpleton characteristic of pureblood got strengthen as well as their shamelessness. At this point, it can even be said to be ironic that they are called pureblood with the way they act.


    ¡¸...¡¹


    ¡¸...¡¹


    If the woman wouldn¡¯t back down, neither would Sulvian and the others.


    The silence remains in the air for more than an hour and gradually turns into a staring competition between Mourn and the rest.


    ¡¸We will not disturb the test that will be destined the guardian for the kingdom but at the very least, allow us to do something before the whole kingdom falls into ruin that could never be revived even after the world itself fully destroyed.


    ...Mourn!¡¹


    This time, they are more resolute than the woman and has turned the table to their side as Mourn start to waver the moment she saw the changes in their eyes. Even though she is resolute and stubborn the love for her kingdom still exist within her. As long as it was others intruder other than the prince and the important man of the kingdom, she would kill them without hesitation but in front of her is the prince, nonetheless the future king himself. She has unforeseen this to happen even once in her entire life and doesn''t has the knack to solve this problem herself. In other words, she was completely speechless!


    A being different from those purebloods but existence that was made to serve them, the undeads. Mourn is one of the undead, unlike the simpleton purebloods, undeads follow one rule that their master has put on them the moment they were created on this world until death and will do anything to accomplish its duty. Mourn would already have killed the people including the prince in such a manner if she a level F or D undeads.


    Having said that, she is the only level S undead race in the whole history. She has emotion similar to those intelligent being, loyalty to the royalty and of course, ¡°manner¡± which made her waver whether to follow the rule ¡°to never allow anything to enter or to exit the dungeon in illegal way¡± or ¡°her emotion, loyalty, and manner¡±.


    In the end, she decided to persuade.


    ¡¸Prince Sulvian, Van-sama¡­ please return to the surface as I don¡¯t have the ability to provide you anything. Please...¡¹


    Sulvian abruptly stops her by showing his palm right to her face, while saying with determination.


    ¡¸Speak no more as, even if the death god himself come to retrieve me to hell, I will fight till I exist none in both world and the afterlife for my own kingdom. As there are still exist many things to be protected here.¡¹


    With such an uncompromising determination, there was something that lit insides both Mourn¡¯s and Van¡¯s heart. The two came up with the same thought.


    (A king¡­ no! The sole rightful ruler that deserved to be acknowledged by the whole kingdom, an Absolute Sovereign. One who will sacrifice everything for his kingdom.)


    ¡­


    In the end, by being moved by the future king¡¯s words, Mourn surrenders and give them everything accordingly what they request to her. Fully satisfied with what they have, Sulvian and the others return to the surface and meet up with the horses.


    The humans, to confirm that they are already at the surface, they look up to the sky. In unison, the three sigh in relief and also weakening altogether. Van noticed but didn¡¯t say anything and ride onto the horse. Meanwhile, the prince handed them several things before departed together with Van back to the palace.


    Simon stares their back for a moment and returns his stares to the item in his hand.


    It has a total of one thousand black gemstones inside a bag with a crown symbol on it. It was not any common gemstone as it is the only gemstone available nowhere except in this kingdom and even one which around a size of a pebble is valued extremely high among the other''s kingdom. The one inside the bag, not only that each one was at the least a size of a fist, there is a total of one thousand of them.


    But it was not for them, at least not all of them as it was the deposit to lure the humans for assistances. Simon and Romeo have been asked to convey a message to the only trustworthy human¡¯s king to request for assistance to help on the Asmodios revival. Whether they succeed or not, the gemstones will be theirs.


    They just have to persuade the king to meet the top-notch of Asmodios, doesn¡¯t matter where or when and the king, including them, will be given some consolation prize that not any worse than the item in Simon¡¯s hand.


    To Sulvian, it was all a gamble to gain trust from the humans.


    If worse was to come, his has a few other plans behind his back which is equally important as the gamble for the humans'' trust and he has yet used his ace card to make things indubitably happen for his kingdom revival. The purebloods might be a simpleton but it was their simple minded that made the others feared them as who they were.


    As they are reckless.


    For they recklessness... There was nothing that could be compared to.

 Short Notice for My Reader

    I''m terribly sorry for the sudden short notice. There are few things that I must explain to the readers.


    1st. Even though I am a Malay, I will soon enter a Chinese high school as a form 6th student. So I have been busy for the few days, with doing part time bakery[at home], preparing for school, also practicing using Manga Studio 5 [also for my income].


    2nd is for people that haven''t read my profile biodata. I am a noob at writing.


    I used to hate writing. Even though this story is not my first one that is a crap, I honestly am terrible at writing story. Ignores my grammar, I am even worst at making a story. I always write essay off the main topic, write stories that only I can understand, such is my habits and experiences. Now, at chapter 15, even though I have a clear idea of what the chapter going to be about, I am stuck at describing the situation, characters gesture, dialogue, so I decided to improvise my writing style from~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 1.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    3rd as well as the last thing to be mention to the reader.


    I will now set a definite date to release a chapter. > One chapter every two weeks.< I''m sorry for everything if I ever disappoint you in any way, I tried to do more than I could now but timewouldn''t let me. If only I could steal the Doraemon''s time machine and return to when I was a kid then force myself to focus on writing... Anyhow, I am more than glad enough that there were readers and follower for my story. I don''t hope for anything but to have the reader read my story. Thank you TT^TT please do wait for me...


    It won''t be long...


    Oh, the last few things to say, those who have read the whole story, please start reading from chapter 1. Only chapter 1 for now, if I have done editing the chapter 2, I will post another notice :P sorry~

 Chapter 15: Origin of a Guardian [Part 5]

    Chapter 15: Origin of a Guardian [Part 5]


    The gentle wind blows softly as I look at the sky while lying on the comfortable grass bed. Mysteriously, a game-like window appeared in front of me out of nowhere with alarming words following with a few huge exclamation marks.


    ¡°BEWARE OF DANGER!!!¡±


    {Aye}, as I was warned of the danger, ¡°I-shouldn¡¯t-be-here¡± was something that I could only think quietly in my head since {I''M ALREADY INSIDE THE DEN OF DANGER! }


    Somehow, I can even see it, the non-existence death flags that¡¯s surrounding my situation. It¡¯s frustrating of how much I want to cry right now but I can¡¯t. Jokes aside I wonder, why, this kind of things keeps happen to me. Have I ever annoy you in some way, God? It must be or else, why would odd thing always happens in my life.


    First, I was reborn into a weed. Few days after settled in as a weed, I was miserably chased off by the scary wolf, then I met a dying dracula, help saves his kingdom and got tricked into being his kingdom¡¯s guardian. Now I¡¯m stuck inside this test¡­ God! Why are you being so cruel to me!


    Anyway, this time the Gods are getting overboard by pranking me, I don''t even dare to think I have any chance of getting out of the dungeon alive.


    I¡¯m a goddamn weed for god''s sake, I¡¯m so¡­ weak!


    {Oh, did I just say dungeon? Yeah, I am inside a dungeon though it is odd to see clear sky inside a dungeon isn¡¯t it?} Well, according to a few hours ago discussion by the two guardians, I am indeed inside a dungeon. {Ha. Haha.} Slowly, as I remembered why I am here right now, I gradually feel three black lines appeared and twitching next to my head. I wasn¡¯t given any time to ready myself because of Yulia said Sulvian and Van have broken a law or something like that so, I was thrown into a den of the life reaper without noticed anything.


    {...Ha, Haha... I knew it.}


    {DAMN IT, THE DUMB DUO! I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER FROM MY WRATH WHEN I RETURN!!! AND I SHALL RETURN EVEN IF IT TAKES HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS!!!}


    Approximately 3 hours ago------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Rass was still blabbering nonsense from the rants she blew to Yulia, the first guardian. Yulia, on the other hand, thoughtlessly sit properly in a straight and upright kneeling position with ghastly pale complexion making her seem like a ghost more than ever, for a second, it create an illusion where Rass is as huge as mountain while Yulia seems smaller than a rat. Rass¡¯s ?Rage?finally stopped functioning when Mourn abruptly appeared in the middle of the two. The woman with silky dark blue hair hidden under the pointy-hat bows before glaring at Rass with an obvious threatening aura made Rass back down a few step.


    Despite being intimidated, Rass stares the two big


    ?Shoen no hogo-sha sama.?


    =First Guardian


    Just a few words said by Mourn as a greet was able to change Yulia personality from meek to serious. Yulia politely requests Rass to wait patiently while she discussed something with Mourn. That moment after she has calm down and able to think rationally, Rass finally realized a significant thing that she couldn¡¯t have done in her entire life.


    ¡°Burst out in anger to a superior.¡±


    After all, she was also once someone who worked under someone else and had experienced the frustrating moment with the higher-ups, client and her employer. But, similar to any common people, she endured everything in her heart and mind alone. After becoming a weed with mind-talking ability, she had unknowingly changed her personality overall into bold and hot tempered.


    Her previous calm and collected past-self have become hot-headed and short-tempered since coming into this world. If her parent sees her besides the fact that she is a weed, they wouldn¡¯t even recognize her.


    It is true of how they say the mind is uncontrollable.


    Even though it¡¯s a bad thing, Rass was thinking quietly to herself, ¡°Fufufu, hahaha, the ability to express anger is extremely convenient. IT¡¯S DEFINITELY CONVENIENT!¡± ¡­ and thus, currently, she is having a mental breakdown.


    Mourn a cough dryly twice to gain Rass attention. Embarrassed by the fact that she has done something that was undeniably odd in front of the two important people of the Asmodios Kingdom, Rass apologized.


    Mourn decided to forgive her manner and forward to introduce herself as the third guardian [Dai-sen no hogo-sha]. Taking a short moment to appraise the new candidate of the next guardian with her two dim yellow cold eyes, Mourn retreated herself to behind Yulia. Feeling out of the place, Rass asked about the second guardian considering the first and the third are here.


    As for the second guardian, both Yulia and Mourn has no way to trace that person whereabout. Besides that, Rass find it weird for Mourn who is also a guardian, to not be asked to volunteer to rebuild the kingdom. Then, Yulia formally explains that every guardian has a different task and some task are not even related to the kingdom.


    And, as for Mourn, her task ended a long time ago, as for what it was, she kept it as a concealed secret. On the other hand, Yulia¡¯s task was to protect the base of the kingdom, as long as she still exists, the kingdom¡¯s revival will always be possible. The base of the kingdom is no other than the dungeon hidden in the basement of this tower, with it, one will be able to restore the kingdom to its original condition. The second guardian also has ended their task, so that person left the kingdom since a long time ago.


    Thinking that it was enough of the chit-chat, Mourn hinted Yulia that she have something important to be discussed. Hence, leaving Rass alone at the center of the dark space of the room, Yulia discussed with Mourn regarding the group of people that visit the dungeon earlier.


    Yulia massaged her creased forehead and said with a stern voice.


    ?Since they have broken a law, we can¡¯t give kindness anymore.?


    ?Pity for her, she will have to confront everything without knowing anything.?


    They peek a glance at Rass who was mindlessly stared at the blank space and sighed.


    ?It is unfortunate for her to be tested while the kingdom is in its dire state, but law is still law, one must obey or bad thing going to happen.?


    ?I understand, therefore, we will just explain the dungeon to her before sending her st---?


    Mourn speech abruptly stopped when Rass suddenly appeared between her and Yulia.


    {How long will you chat here? I am bored, extremely bored. Gimme something to do will you?}


    Yulia exchanged glance with Mourn. Mourn was annoyed by Rass impolite manner but nodded nevertheless to Yulia as a sign of an agreement. Yulia focused on her hand that started to make something out of nothing in the middle of the air. Mourn squinted her eyes and complained about Rass to Yulia.


    ?Is this really the candidate for the new guardian? Her manner is rank-E, her appearance rank-D, her power? I doubt she even has any. Is there no one else that the kingdom would send as the new guardian? ?


    ?Mourn, stop it. It¡¯s rude to judge people over¡­ outer appearances. ?


    --------------------- Three black lines twitching next to Rass¡¯s head as she busy thinking inside her mind quietly without letting anyone hear her but herself -----------------------------


    {Oi, even I know that I don''t look promising, but it was your stupid prince that force me to accept the guardian title.} Haa¡­ These people are real nuisances. If I were an OP character, they would never treat me like this¡­


    {Wuuwu...I want to cry so much to vent my sadness¡­}. If only I had mouth and eyes, everything will be fine for me already.


    After a short while, I¡¯ve finished with the cursing inside my mind, I realized that Yulia has been staring at me with sympathetic eyes.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    ?Here Rass, please do not bother us anymore. There still something that I need to discuss with Mourn here.?


    Yulia handed me a mist like a ball which seems to be alive. Because I was bored and curious, I ignored the fact that I was treated badly and accept the ball nonetheless. Then, I stare at her but she said nothing more and continues her conversation with Mourn. {Hmph, am I a kid or what? Playing with a ball...} I trotted my way to the center of the blank space with the mist ball on my leafy-hands. Now, the ball is in front of me, what should I do with it?


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


    Meanwhile, Rass contemplating on the mist ball, Yulia and Mourn discussed the kingdom welfare. Slowly appeared out of nowhere, on Mourn¡¯s right shoulder, a water-like bird sat on her shoulder docilely.


    ?The Miare birds have given the report based on their surveillance to me. Apparently, the prince has decided to gather volunteers from many other kingdoms, including the Human Kingdom. Meanwhile, the queen¡¯s Ivory faction and the queen Dowager Manora have working on the survivor ?


    ?Is that so, but it¡¯s unusual to see the kingdom done something in such a drastic measure. In one day, the prince requested for a huge sum of the black gemstones, also few other things. The human was invited into the dungeon, the Asmodios Noble lower themselves to even ask for help from lowly creature¡­ Mourn, I doubt that the new candidate is as unreliable and simple as you thought.?


    Being convinced by Yulia, Mourn reluctant to accept the fact that Rass is the latest candidate for guardian chosen by the entire kingdom.


    ?Albeit, I¡¯m not fond of her but I¡¯m also not in the position to oppose the kingdom¡¯s choice. But at the same time, I must test her ability before we bid her a goodbye.?


    Yulia smile wryly seeing her loyal servant reluctant to let Rass enter the den of danger. In spite of her attitude, manner toward Rass, she cares deeply for Rass¡¯s safety. Mourn has always loved cute things and in her dim yellow eyes, Rass is equal to a plushy toy. No one else than Yulia know what in Mourn¡¯s mind, even the body owner herself didn¡¯t realize this, that actually, Mourn couldn¡¯t bear it to see the cute and feeble grass to be harmed in any way.


    Which is why, she keep denying the fact that Rass was acknowledged by the kingdom folks, nobles and also the strongest warrior of Asmodios. Refused to believe the obvious, Mourn walks slowly toward Rass that constantly poking the mist ball non-stop as if venting her dissatisfaction over something. Mourn gathers her mana and a metal case appeared within her left hand. She squinted both her eyes feeling irritated, in a split second, she took a dark and deathly-look scythe from the metal case as it form itself like a machine with ??? *cocks* *clack* sounded within the blank space. She pointed it toward behind Rass¡¯s leafy-head part.


    ?Rass, I, The Third Guardian of Asmodios, Challenge you into a duel!?


    Rass peek a glance to her back, she says black-thingy pointed toward her with threatening aura. She sighed softly in her mind, immediately reply Mourn and makes the third guardian blanked.


    {I rejected your challenge. No offense.}


    Rass continues to poke the mist ball, but this time she curled her leafy-hand as to imitate a fist and then punch into the mist ball with all her strength. Meanwhile, Yulia was worried about Mourn that ¡°blanked out from an honest rejection from Rass¡±, she keeps calling Mourn back to sanity, unfortunately, was replied by a lifeless sigh.


    It was for the best, Yulia thinks to herself. Mourn that was reluctant to let go of Rass, she shall not delay the time to sent Rass into the dungeon by herself.


    Without even needing Mourn to test Rass physically, the mist ball has been doing the entire job since the moment Rass hold onto it. Similarly to an appraisal stone, the ball examines the holder inner strength but only Yulia able to know its content. Yulia politely asked Rass to return the mist ball to her and check the content with an expressionless face that makes people hard to read her mind.


    Yulia nodded slightly and stares Rass with passionate eyes.


    ?Rass, you do know the reason why you were sent here, right??


    Rass tilts her head and pondering the meaning behind the question. She answers the question honestly despite the confusion she had with the addition of a question.


    {I originally don¡¯t know anything and even enraged when I was thrown into an odd place by the crown prince. Only after knowing the history of the kingdom that I vaguely guess the reason why I was sent into here. But, why did you even ask? Don¡¯t you already know the answer?}


    Yulia chuckled a bit before replied with a mischievous smile.


    ?It was only to confirm the doubt that I had. So now, since I have the answer to my question, I presumed that you are willing to comply with their will.?


    {Huh?}


    Obviously, Rass couldn¡¯t understand what Yulia actually means behind her words, but the first guardian ignored everything that¡¯s beyond a shadow of a doubt and melancholy voiced out with a pain and unwilling expression on her face, the impression of the people who have entered the Guardian Assessment¡¯s Room.


    ? The path is harsh and will take ages. Unless one is devoted entirely to their purpose of living, to leave for the world would be an impossible thing to do. Regardless of what they desired in their heart, even the most nobles desired will not succeed the devoted one. The sorrow that I had, couldn¡¯t be compared to anyone when I saw not a successor return from the room to the world.?


    She held back her tears in choked as she finally explained the situation to Rass while trying her best to keep her composure as the first guardian.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­...


    ¡­


    Exactly as Yulia explained, Rass understood that she is not in a position to reject the guardian test as she was chosen under the eyes of the whole kingdom. At first, she was irked but as soon as she heard about the dungeon great details, instantaneously, she was interested.


    ?No one knows what is his foreground and background but he proclaimed himself as Eth The Creator. Purely for his entertainment, he made the dungeon in Asmodios together with the other great dungeon in the other kingdom and the other continent far east. ?


    As she explained how she used her ability past her limits and ended up into an almost transparent being. Because it is her first time ever to use her ability in such a place like a dungeon, she couldn¡¯t control her power and the dungeon was gifted with many tough and ferocious beast warrior. Though she was tortured by the intense pain right to her soul, she felt that the dungeon worth more than what she goes through.


    The dungeon time difference with the real world is 2 months to 1 day. To manage the wild dungeon filled with savage beasts, she applied few restriction and rules to the beast. By showing her power as the rightful guardian of the dungeon, naturally, the barbaric beings obeys. Additionally, she also set a few things to the dungeon and makes the dungeon as a place for living for the beasts.


    Seeing that Rass was very interested in the dungeon, she continues to speak.


    ?Mourn, although it wasn¡¯t that obvious, she is an undead.?


    Hearing such a thing, Rass jolt in surprise.


    Of course, she is. No one could expect that a cool beauty such as Mourn is actually an undead. Rass has watched many horror movies, explored the websites about the myth being and read many books including the manga. But the world she currently in right now wasn¡¯t the same as she expected it to be.


    Rass only nodded lightly and have Yulia to continue her speech.


    ?As an undead she must obey her master until the master is dead. As long as I am alive, even if Mourn was to die, she will automatically resurrect herself a day after her death and continues her duty to protect the dungeon alone.


    But after I die, she will still live in this world but her lifespan is the same as a butterfly. She could only last for a few days and then, she will just stay somewhere at the underworld until someone summons her into the real world.?


    Rass nodded few times absent-mindedly, thinking of how bored must Mourn felt during the time she guards the dungeon. Yulia caught Rass mindlessly in thought and then gripped both her leafy hands softly. Yulia stares Rass with both her eyes redden and wet, looking pitiful to Rass, she said feeling guilty to have wronged the feeble-looking a plant type monster.


    ?Even though I am upset by the situation, I could do nothing but watch over you. Rass, because the crown prince has broken a law that I have set for Mourn, although it is unfair, I have to remind them that a law wasn¡¯t to be broken by anyone¡­ so I will have to punish you.?


    {huh¡­ oh okay¡­ huh?!W-wai---}


    Rass was listening to Yulia absent-minded and agreed unaware of the real situation. Then, she realized that she has agreed to something risky to her life. In a hurried, she wants to take back her words but was hindered by Yulia that purposely chants as loud and clear as possible. Rass keep shouting inside her mind to halt Yulia but was ignored.


    ?By the will of Goddess Ruvia, a guardian will be evaluated by the All-Known Dungeon of. Chosen by the kingdom and the nobles, Rass of the Qantrum, One of the Eight great forest. Destined is her fate to be chosen. Blessed by the Goddess Empurelia, the candidate shall now enter the judgment gates of a guardian.?


    [?lt?gIn ?r?e?nL!]


    The moment that the incoherent word was said by Yulia, a bright light appeared beneath Rass. In the instant, without able to react, Rass was engulfed inside it.


    Even though she felt guilty about sending Rass into the dungeon, she was convinced that Rass will survive through the hardship. Plus, she ¡°had to¡± send her before Mourn awakens from her dreamland.Abruptly, Yulia jolted in shocked, she realized that she didn¡¯t tell one more particularly important thing to Rass because she was in hurry to send her in the dungeon¡­


    ¡°The test stay none the same for each time the candidate failed as that was the real test.¡±


    It was a quote was carved at the upper part of the dungeon¡¯s door.The dungeon is also known as the room of qualification for testing the guardian¡¯s candidate.


    Those that enter the dungeon as a candidate of a guardian, must be told of this thing frequently a month before entering the gate of judgment. But, in Rass case, not only that she doesn¡¯t even being told anything before meeting the first guardian since she has not stayed in the kingdom more than a week. She also wasn¡¯t told anything about what she supposed to do at the dungeon.


    Yulia immediately clasped both her hand tightly, praying that Rass was granted wisdom and bless from the goddesses. She prayed that Rass will be unusually sensible and realized her purpose there inside the dungeon.


    Amen.

 3 Months Halt

    I got bad news for the readers.


    Previously, I was quite stable in releasing chapters, but now, regretfully saying it... I don''t think that I can be like how I''ve used to be.


    By the April, I will enter the high school as form 6th. Since I started later than other people, I have many things that I need to struggle with, hence, I decided to stop writing to focus on my study. I predict that I need 3 months or so, in that time, I will try to write few chapters. If I can''t, please forgive me but I won''t promise anything out of my capablity.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    You don''t need to wait for me anymore...TT^TT and I probably won''t edit the old chapters for now.


    Iam just going to be an author by hobbies only.
