《The Creep of Fate - Dropped》 Prologue

Prologue

I was floating in a white void. There was a weird warmth pulsing around in my body. It¡¯s like the warmth when you''re in your bed amplified by thousands of time. Well, it¡¯s not like I have anything else to do. So I wait. ¡­ I suddenly sense ¡­ see ¡­ hear ¡­ feel ¡­ him ¡­ her¡­ it? A woman slowly faded into existence. She looked like she was in her early 20s and the main thing that stood out was the fact that she had 9 tails. ¡°Why am I here?¡± ¡°Wow, I thought you would be angry or confused. But that is to be expected from somebody who locked away all of his emotions to avenge his wife.¡± ¡°You still haven¡¯t answered why I''m here.¡± ¡°Oh yeah, you died.¡± I had more emotions than I thought was possible at that moment. indignation, sadness, despair and even a little bit of anticipation. I just realized that I felt emotion and I suddenly started to calm down and devoid myself of any emotion just as I was trained to. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Where am I and who are you?¡± ¡°You are currently in something you would know as heaven and I am Emma the goddess of Kitsune, the moon, ice and manymany more and you are here because I am giving you a proposition.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the proposition?¡± ¡°My offer is for you to become my Harbinger.¡± ¡°What benefits are there to becoming your so called Harbinger¡± ¡°You will be reincarnated with all of your memories to a fantasy world where you can essentially level up. But, in return you will have to fight other Harbingers and spread my influence around the world.¡± ¡°What happens if I don¡¯t accept?¡± ¡°You stay here for all of eternity.¡± ¡°What do I get out of this deal?¡± ¡°A chance to meet Freya again.¡± ¡°Give me proof¡± Then suddenly part of the void materialized into a video of a young girl carrying a basket of apples to a house. No it couldn¡¯t even be considered a house it was more like a collection of logs and leaves stacked up on to each other. I grab Emma and shake her screaming ¡°WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING LIVING IN A PITIFUL EXCUSE OF A HOUSE!¡± Emma then suddenly disappeared from my grasp and proceeded to say ¡°I cannot interact with the mortal world with the amount of influence I have at the moment.¡± I then calmed down almost instantly. ¡°Okay I am reincarnating into the world Freya is in correct¡± ¡°Yes¡± ¡°Okay then I accept¡± ¡°Good. See ya in a bit¡¯ ¡°Wait what?¡± Chapter 1 There was a village on the western side of the world. That village was apart of a small kingdom called Dyri. Inside this small village there was a certain house. It was an ordinary house. Inside this house, there was a young kitsune couple. A silver haired male with blood red eyes with five tails, and a pink haired female with golden eyes and had six tails . The mother was breastfeeding a baby. The baby had vermillion red hair and ice blue eyes starkly contrasting his parents. It was a really beautiful baby it would make even young women envious. However, The baby was odd. He didn¡¯t cry after birth and sometimes seemed like he was deep in thought. This baby was Lugh Neverhail. *** (Looks like you¡¯re enjoying your new home Lugh) A voice ringed throughout his head. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not all that bad. But what''s the deal about leaving me here for three months without contact¡± (Figured you would need some time to get used to your new environment and ¡°unlocked¡± emotions) Well you wouldn¡¯t be wrong. Anyways is there anything productive that I can do while I¡¯m this young?¡± (It depends on whether or not you inherited any mana from your parents) ¡°And how do I find that out?¡± (Just think of status and something should pop up) ¡°Status¡±

(Wow, you actually inherited both bloodlines.) ¡°Is that rare?¡± (If it was any other inheritance then no. But, the bloodlines conflict so it''s something that only happens on a rare moon.) ¡°How exactly do these stats work?¡± (Oh yeah, tens are what an average human male would have. Most of them are self explanatory. But Dexterity is your hand eye coordination and how well you can do tasks. While, agility is just your pure physical stats. For example you would use your dexterity while you''re trying to twirl a knife through your fingers. Agility would be how flexible you are or how fast you can run.) ¡°What about intelligence, wisdom, spirit and luck?¡± (Intelligence is basically book smarts. While, wisdom is knowing how to apply that knowledge. Spirit is just how attached you are to spirits. Luck is what the chance is for you to roll what you need on a pair of dice. But for example if somebody knocks you out luck wouldn¡¯t affect how fast you would wake up. Luck is also the one exception to the ten is average rule.) ¡°Spirits and why is luck the exception?¡± (Luck is the exception because usually everybody has a set amount of luck at birth between one to infinity and that can¡¯t be changed. Spirits include ghosts, fairies and other forces of nature.) ¡°Wait, how could a force of nature be a spirit and why do I have zero luck if people usually have 1 or more?¡± (Imagine for almost any natural element there is a spirit who inhabits that element. You have zero luck because Harbingers, Gods and few others truly defy Fate. And before you ask when the Gods created all the planets we decided to create Fate so it could manage all of the small fry.) ¡°Small fry?¡± (Humans and other creatures who have no impact on the world they live in.) My anger was boiling after that sentence. All that I did in my last life was predetermined and Freya''s life and death was predetermined. *** BOOM! A gigantic explosion ringed throughout the village. Two shadowy figures dashed out of the explosion and out of the village. ¡°Wow Lulu sure did get angry!¡± said a mother running faster than the eye could see. ¡°Luckily we fortified our house with arrays don¡¯t ya say Darling?¡± *** (That was unnecessary.) ¡°YOU''RE TELLING ME THAT FATE DETERMINED EVERYTHING I DID IN MY PAST LIFE!¡± (No Fate just makes it more likely for certain things to happen. For example if fate was true then there would have been no world wars. But, because people choose to alter fate world war one and two happened.) ¡°Was there anything I could have done to save Freya in my last life?¡± (No, there was absolutely nothing that you could do without in that situation.) ¡­ *** Three Years Later ¡°Hey, Mom what are we having for dinner tonight?¡± Chapter 2 ¡°Hey, Mom what are we having for dinner tonight?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to know.¡± ¡°Mom, stop joking around¡± ¡°Im serious im going to have you experience your first ancestral memory.¡± ¡°Wait w-¡± The last thing that I remember is her dashing over to me and tapping me on my head. *** ¡°Was that really necessary Satashia?¡± ¡°Lulu has to see his first ancestral memory at some point.¡± ¡°You could have at least explained what he was going to experience.¡± ¡°But where''s the fun in that Alex?¡± ¡°I still don¡¯t know how I fell in love with you.¡± *** I awake to see a forest made out of crystal shards and a fox running out of sight. I instinctively chase after the fox. The fox is just fast enough for me to see where it¡¯s going yet far enough that I can¡¯t catch up to it. *** After what seemed like an endless amount of time the fox stopped and looked up at a crystal shard which was unlike every other shard. It was as if there was a war of color on the shard. It was gold, red and white constantly eating each other for space. Right after I see it I feel like my soul is getting sucked into the crystal. *** For a brief second I suddenly find myself in a transparent room that is rushing through a countless amount of places and images. After the brief second I see an extremely hazy kitsune with nine tails, one golden eye and one crimson eye fighting a person with jet black hair, two horns on his head and a women with cascading golden hair with a stereotypical halo above her. The kitsune said ¡°I never thought that I would be so honored to have the king of demons and queen of angels form an alliance just to defeat me.¡± The man with jet black hair said ¡°You''re an abomination of both Heaven and Hell!¡± Then the women with golden hair said ¡°To think that the archdemon Asmodeus renowned for his lust would actually fall in love and try to become an angel¡± The kitsune said ¡°I am disdained by both of you. To think that the queen of angels wants to kill me because I wish to give up my demonic heritage and ascend to the angels and the so called king of hell wishes to kill me because I wanted to meet my loved one when he fell to demonhood just to resurrect his loved one.¡± The man replied with ¡°Yes, but I didn¡¯t defy one of the laws that the Gods decided upon.¡±Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. The women finally said ¡°Zephyr, we don¡¯t have any more time we need to end him once and for all.¡± Zephyr replied with ¡°Zyanna, wait just one moment¡± Zephyr then turned to the kitsune and said ¡°I really regret having to do this old friend.¡± Then suddenly two gigantic swords appeared one pitch black and one resplendent golden. Zephyr and Zyanna shouted in unison ¡°Heaven and Hell, Interlocking Swords of Pride and Humility.¡± After that I got thrown out of the dream into reality *** ¡°...¡± ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°What hun.?¡± ¡°WHAT WAS THAT!?¡± ¡°It was your first ancestral memory. Basically you got to see the memory of your ancestor.¡± ¡°What about the beautiful crystal forest and the beautiful fox?¡± ¡°The crystal forest is your soul and the fox is your spirit guide.¡± A voice I haven¡¯t heard in quite a bit ringed throughout my head. (Your spirit is probably if not the most trustworthy thing that you will ever know. It is basically your soul twin. It guides you through your own soul and allows you to communicate to spirits.) ¡°So, it¡¯s basically my soul mate correct?¡± (To an extent yes but it¡¯s very rare for you to fall in love with your spirit guide because your almost exactly the same) ¡°So it¡¯s like a doppelganger of souls and does the fact it¡¯s a fox have to do with the fact i¡¯m a kitsune?¡± (If a doppelganger had slight differences then yes your spirit guide could be considered a doppelganger and the fact that it¡¯s a fox just means that is its current form.) ¡°Hey, Lulu any more questions?¡± ¡°No, Mom.¡± (Oh yeah, you should look behind you and check your stats) I looked behind me and saw a tail with a gold and black tip. I immediately fell in love with it! I tried to move it around for hours and it didn¡¯t work but suddenly I felt like it was any other limb and could move it around at will. A stern voice just shouted into my ear ¡°Lugh, are you done admiring your own tail?¡± I was startled and jumped backwards and fell and then I saw my dad rolling on the ground laughing. ¡°Anyways, Lugh what did you see in your ancestor''s memory? ¡°I, saw a angel and a demon forming a sword to kill my ancestor. Is that weird?¡± ¡°Wait, you saw the death of your ancestor first?¡± ¡°Well I assume he died because two gigantic swords were about to pierce through him.¡± ¡°Phew, at least you didn¡¯t see his death.¡± ¡°Why is that good?¡± ¡°Because usually when you see your ancestor''s death that usually signifies the last ancestral memory.¡± ¡°That¡¯s bad because?¡± ¡°That would be the last tail you can have and the more tails you have the stronger you become. Oh yeah check your status screen you should feel stronger and can use more mana.¡± ¡°Status¡±

¡°Emma, since you¡¯ve finally decided to talk again you still haven¡¯t told me what I can do to be productive.and what are the aspects of being a Harbinger¡± (The only aspect you currently have unlocked is some talent in my domain which isn¡¯t useful for you right now.In order to start being productive I would recommend training your physical body during the day and replace sleep with meditating to increase your Spirit and Mana.) ¡°Do you have any godly techniques to improve the rate of my training?¡±This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. (The only thing I can think of is you using mana to temper your body.) ¡°Does it hurt like a bitch like it does in novels?¡± (Yep.) *** There was a young kitsune doing pushups underneath a waterfall with a swarm of mana destroying his body and then reconstructing it over and over again. This of course was Lugh. ¡°998 ¡­ 999 ¡­ 1000¡± *Clap Clap* ¡°I can¡¯t believe you¡¯ve made it from barely being able to do one without collapsing to doing 1000 in only one year.¡± ¡°Dad, don¡¯t even act like that¡¯s a big achievement you could do that for eternity and not feel tired.¡± ¡°Yeah, but you still have improved at quite a rapid pace.¡± ¡°Anyways, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I watch my son train?¡± ¡°Of course you can but it¡¯s not time for my training with you yet.¡± ¡°As expected of my son but your mom and I have have decided to have you experience the world by yourself.¡± ¡°WHY!?¡± ¡°Your mom and I have some old enemies that we need to take care of and we aren¡¯t strong enough to deal with them and protect you at the same time.¡± ¡°When will I be able to see you again?¡± ¡°When you are strong enough to find out who we truly are.¡± *** ¡°Bye mom, dad.¡± ¡°See you later.¡± *** (It¡¯s time for you to actually experience this world. How do you feel?) ¡°Excited of course.¡± (You want to find Freya correct.) ¡°Of course, do you know where she is?¡± (I have a general idea of where she is but some other God is interfering with my attempts to locate her.) ¡°Why would another god want to interfere with her location?¡± (The only reason why I can think of a God interfering with her location is because she is another God''s Harbinger.) ¡°If she was a Harbinger why would she have been in the pathetic excuse of a house?¡± (Maybe she''s undercover or is training. But it¡¯s been awhile since I¡¯ve seen your stats. How much have you improved?) ¡°Status¡±

(Woohoo, you are finally strong enough to get your class.) ¡°How do I get my class and what classes can I get?¡± (You receive your class after going to one of my temples and facing a trial to get your class. As for what classes you can get because your a harbinger you can get almost any normal class.) ¡°Where is the nearest temple of yours?¡± (In Sylven town.) ¡°How far away is Sylven?¡± (Around three days on carriage or one week on foot.) *** There was a traveler in a black robe staring at a grandiose wall that was twenty feet tall made out of pure white marble fortified with runes that increases the durability of the wall. ¡°Hey, Emma how big of a city is this?¡± (One of the biggest cities on this continent.) Right before I entered the gates I was greeted with a guard who looked like he was in his mid 20s said ¡°Welcome to Sylven the city of conniving bastards.¡± Chapter 4 ¡°Welcome to Sylven the city of conniving bastards.¡± ¡°Is that how you greet every traveler?¡± ¡°Of course because people who come here either are running away from something or want to make a name for themselves¡± (Before you enter remember don¡¯t interfere with other people''s business.) ¡°Why is that?¡± (You¡¯ll make enemies that you don¡¯t want to make enemies out of.) ¡°I¡¯ll keep that in mind.¡± I then continue to walk into the city and immediately see a group of people circling up around me. The presumed leader of the group steps out and says ¡°Pay up 10 gold for protections fees or pay the price.¡± ¡°Emma, can you tell how strong they are?¡± (Let¡¯s just say that they could beat you with their eyes closed.) ¡°I thought I was supposed to be 3 times stronger than an ordinary person.¡± (You are but people who live in big cities aren¡¯t ordinary are they.) ¡°True, but is there anyway for me to beat them?¡± (Yeah, just scare the shit out of them by using a tiny bit of divine or infernal energy.) ¡°I¡¯ve only tried messing around with mana how do I use infernal energy?¡± (You should feel a small amount of heat in your head imagine using that heat to create a demon''s shadow behind you) I try to sense this so called heat the Emma is talking about. ¡°You have ten more seconds to decide.¡± ¡°Just trying to find my coins.¡± I begin to panic. I continue to try to find some other energy beside my mana ocean. 8..7...6...5...4...3 I suddenly sense a island inside of my mana pool which is constantly erupting with lava. I try to take some of its energy and thankfully it succeeded. I sense an image forming behind me. I try to have the image roar. Then I hear a screech from nightmares roar out behind me.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. I then see the leader cowering and trying to say ¡°r-r-ru-run aa-a-w-ay¡± but all of his comrades were on the ground with blood dripping out of their orifices. (That was unnecessary don¡¯t you think?) ¡°I didn¡¯t think that it would do that much damage and why is the leader not dead like his lackeys?¡± (The leader was probably a veteran who has experienced demon attacks.) ¡°Is the war on going?¡± (This war has been going on for around 100 years and there is no end in sight.) Right before I was going to ask more about the war a middle aged man walked up to me and then immediately started saying ¡°James, God of honor, justice and the magnificent sun may you please bestow upon me a spear of justice to smite down this stain upon our earth.¡± (RUN NOW!) ¡°Wait wh-¡± A gigantic golden spear suddenly appeared in the air and was pointed down at me. The man said ¡°Say your last words scum¡± (Damn it I didn¡¯t want to do this but repeat after me ¡°Emma, Goddess of the pure and untainted moon please bestow me with a shield that is as incorruptible as my undying love for you.¡±) ¡°Emma, Goddess of the pure and untainted moon please bestow me with a shield that is as incorruptible as my undying love for you.¡± A shield so white that even snow looks impure appeared in front of me. The spear that was just about to kill me suddenly dissipated. The man walked up to me and said ¡°I¡¯m Alex and sorry for the misunderstanding fellow priest.¡± (Say that your bloodline went out of control and how anybody could make the same mistake.) ¡°I¡¯m Lugh no problem after all my bloodline went out of control and any other priest could have made the same mistake.¡± ¡°May James bless you with eternal glory Lugh.¡± (Say ¡°May Emma bless you with undying love and don¡¯t say his name after¡± ¡°May Emma bless you with undying love.¡± *** There was a church made out of pristine metal. Inside this church there Alex and he was talking to a man that was clad with a behemoth of armor and a sword which is planted in the ground by his side. ¡°Master, there is another arch priest in town¡± ¡°Are you sure that it¡¯s an arch priest and what god is he devoted to?¡± ¡°Yes. master i¡¯m sure that he¡¯s an arch priest and he worships Emma.¡± ¡°Emma, huh. Tell the rest of the church to keep their hands off of him¡± ¡°As you wish master.¡± *** ¡°What was up with the whole you prayer and you telling me step by step instructions on how to talk with Alex?¡± (Unlike infernal energy you need to pray to some divine icon to use divine energy and Alex was testing you with his conversation.) ¡°Testing me?¡± (He was trying to find out if you were a real priest or if somebody was helping you from the shadows.) ¡°Why would somebody help me from the shadows?¡± (The churches are all at odds with each other and churches thrive on their reputation and if a demon got let loose in their church their reputation would be tarnished.) ¡°Anyways where is your temple?¡± (In the religious district.) ¡°Wait, there are districts?¡± (Yeah, Central, Religious, Market and Guild districts.) *** I arrived at the temple. Well it wasn¡¯t really even a temple is was more like a small shack with a pristine full moon right in front of the door. ¡°You''re sure that your a god and not some made up myth right?¡± (I¡¯m a fully fledged major god it¡¯s just that the last 7 Harbingers I¡¯ve had have died before they could fully bloom.) ¡°How strong are you compared to other divine entities?¡± (Weaker than any minor angel.) ¡°So you¡¯re basically the weakest divine entity there is.¡± (Yup.) ¡°There''s a long road ahead of us isn¡¯t there.¡± (It¡¯s actually more like an highway but yes.) Chapter 5 ¡°How much divine and infernal energy did I use for those spells? (I don¡¯t know you can check though.) ¡°Status¡±

¡°How long will it take for my Infernal and Divine Energy to be fully recharged?¡± (Around 2 weeks for the Infernal energy and 1 month for the Divine Energy.) ¡°And just for future reference how strong is that shield?¡± (Oh, that shield would have done nothing against that spear.) ¡°So am I weak or is he really strong?¡± (You¡¯re just really weak.) ¡°That sure was encouraging but how do I get my class and increase your influence?¡± (Repeat after me ¡°Emma, Goddess of the pure and untainted moon please bestow upon me a divine trial to prove my skill.¡±) ¡°What aspects do you have?

(Sorta, but for example you don¡¯t start with the talent unlike other gods. You theoretically can be talented in everything but you also have to have a balance of the opposite of it and you also can¡¯t be talented in everything because you also have to balance talent with lack of talent.) ¡°So it¡¯s a really tedious process to maintain balance?¡± (It takes along time to become perfectly balanced and that¡¯s why my previous Harbingers died. Anyways it¡¯s time for you to get your class.) ¡°Emma, Goddess of the pure and untainted moon please bestow upon me a divine trial to prove my devotion to you¡± *** I immediately appeared into the white void that I was in when I met Emma.

I guess there really is only one option. ¡°Spirit Knight.¡± Right after I said that I felt drowsy and fell to sleep *** There was a young boy on a azure blue stallion slowly trotting forward and a plethora of different spirits were all throwing flowers and congratulating him. At the end of the path there was a middle aged man, a young women and a boy all in guillotines. As the young boy walked up to the guillotine the old man said ¡°I¡¯m not going to ask for you to spare me but please spare my family.¡± The young boy stopped in his tracks and said ¡°I was never going to kill your family they¡¯re innocent.¡± *** A window suddenly appeared in front of me
Congratulations You have received the class Spirit Knight.

¡°Wow, I got a huge stat boost.¡± (What did you expect?) ¡°A slight increase and the ability to level up.¡± (Do you really think that I would have you get a class if it wasn¡¯t worth it?) ¡°I guess you have a point but how do I get exp and level up skills?¡± (There are multiple ways but the easiest it just to become a murderhobo.) ¡°Any other options that are more civilized?¡± (The only other option is a murderer with a house) ¡°So murderhobo it is. Since my parents didn¡¯t give me any money.¡± (Before you go and start your decide to become a murderhobo you can claim this temple as your Citadel and live here.) ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell this before?¡± (I just wanted to see how easily you would accept becoming a murderhobo and before you ask all you have to do is place a drop of your blood on the moon at the front of the temple.) I then proceeded to bite my thumb and smeared the blood on the moon.
Congratulations You have claimed your very first Citadel. The entire world will be notified of this grand achievement. You now have access to the influence screen.
***
You have received this message because Lugh Neverhail a Divine Demon Kitsune has conquered his first citadel.
There was a young man with jet black hair staring at this notification in shock. The young boy chuckled and then said ¡°I can¡¯t believe that Asmodeus actually had hidden a bloodline but unfortunately for him he revealed himself.¡± *** ¡°Emma didn¡¯t you say that your previous Harbingers have died because they didn¡¯t have enough time to fully bloom?¡± (Yeah, but I have more faith in you than the previous Harbingers.) ¡°Anyways, what is this influence screen?¡± (You basically get a kingdom building cheat.) ¡°That seems like a cheat like ability.¡± (Of course it¡¯s a cheat ability the gods designed it.) ¡°Anyways, Influence Screen¡±

¡°Emma, any suggestions?¡± (Yeah, get Necessities level 1, Temple level 1 and Living Quarters level 1.) ¡±Okay.¡± I selected to get Necessities level 1, temple level 1, living quarters level 1 and an Internal and External Teleporter level 1. A dazzling white light suddenly appeared around the temple and before it went away as fast as it came and suddenly there was everything that I ordered in pristine condition. I walked around the new temple it was made out of snow white marble with a pink silk in the middle of the aisle with a contrasting black furniture. I then went and looked at the living quarters it also followed in the temple footsteps with snow white marble for the walls, pink window blinds and pitch black beds and furniture. ¡°What do you think?¡± (Its nothing compared to my palace in Heaven but still good for somebody who about to become a murderhobo.) ¡°I don¡¯t know what I was expecting but it still is better than nothing.¡± (Lugh get ready to go on an adventure.) ¡°Wait why?¡± (I found a spirit that it suitable to become your mount.) Chapter 7 (Lugh get ready to go on an adventure.) ¡°Wait why?¡± (I found a spirit that it suitable to become your mount.) ¡°Where? I don¡¯t see it.¡± (You have to go to the Spirit World first dummy.) ¡°Oh yeah.¡± I don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll ever get used to the feeling of being in the Spirit World. You don¡¯t have a physical body but you can still move. You don¡¯t feel things as you normally do, every sense feels slightly off. But it¡¯s just slight enough to not know what feels off just enough for it to feel off. The Spirit World is nothing like my Soul. Everything is so vivid, the trees are all different. For example, one right next to me was blood red with refreshing green leafs and the next was a normal brown but the leaves were flame red. (Stop admiring the trees and get going!) I snapped back from my admiration and asked ¡°Where is the spirit?¡± Emma guided me through the forest and along the way I saw a tree that stuck out. The tree was dead but where the leaves are supposed to be there were vermillion red flames. I asked Emma if that tree was special and she said (That¡¯s a dragon tree.) ¡°Dragon Tree?¡± (Dragons use them to evolve to a higher bloodline.) ¡°Higher bloodline?¡± (Do you think that all dragons are equal? The main factor of a dragon¡¯s strength is its heritageand the only thing that can increase a dragon''s bloodline is a dragon tree.)If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°Why is the tree look so dead?¡± (Probably because a black or necro dragon used it to evolve their bloodline and there deathly nature turned the tree into that.) ¡°Can other dragons use the tree to upgrade?¡± (Other dragons can¡¯t use it unless they are of the same bloodline.) ¡°That sucks but what species is the mount that you found?¡± (A pegasus.) ¡°Pegasus as in a horse with wings?¡± (What other pegasi are there?) ¡°You have a point but a pegasus seems pretty weak.¡± (You think that a horse that was chosen and blessed by the Gods are weak?) ¡°Wait pegasi were blessed by the Gods?¡± (Of course a pegasus at its peak could fight and win against an elder dragon.) ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that dragons were at the peak of existence?¡± (They are some of the strongest but pegasi are at least on the same level maybe even stronger.) ¡°Anyways we got off track let¡¯s go.¡± I continued on my way and there was nothing really interesting or new along the way. I was walking and I saw the pegasus. The pegasus flew down and landed and slowly went to a trott. When I looked closely I realized It was the most majestic creature I have ever seen. It has golden tipped wings and a aura of nobility around him. ¡°Hey Emma what am I supposed to do?¡± (Remember its intelligent.) ¡°That doesn¡¯t help!¡± (Form some sort of bond with it.) I walked up to the pegasus and said ¡°I Lugh Neverhail, take an oath of the mind, body and soul if you become my companion I will rise above the heavens and give you the eternal glory of being my companion.¡± The pegasus responded with ¡°How does me becoming a ¡°companion¡± of somebody weaker then me give me eternal glory?¡± ¡°I am the last of the Divine Demon Kitsune bloodline and am the Harbinger of Emma. Does that give you any idea why becoming my steed gives you eternal glory.¡± (Arrogant and cocky keep up the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING work.) ¡°What else am I supposed to do flaunt my weakness?¡± (It would have been better if you didn¡¯t degrade him to a steed.) ¡°Oh SHIT!¡± (Your wording is the epitome of perfection.) ¡°Your sarcasm is my FAVORITE thing about you.¡± (Before you just look like an idiot in front of one of the seven princes of heaven I would recommend apologizing.) ¡°You know what I forgot my truly favorite thing about you. It''s the fact that you leave out every single detail but tell me when it would have been useful.¡± (I want my Harbingers to learn how to be smart without me.) ¡°Yeah I want to be more independent but when a potentially powerful ally is being decided in a conversation information would be nice.¡± Right before Emma could reply the pegasus said ¡°So a person who has a bloodline is enemy of all and a Harbinger who serves the weakest divine entity wants me a prince of heaven to serve him.¡± After saying that he chuckled and said ¡°Just because I want to see how such a person could make sure an arrogant claim I accept your oath. I Sebastian Cloverhoof, take an oath of the mind, body and soul I will become a companion of Lugh Neverhail and for all of eternity.¡± ¡°Time for formal introductions then.¡± Chapter 8 ¡°Time for formal introductions then.¡± ¡°What do you mean by formal introductions?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a proverb that means we will get to learn more about each other soon.¡± ¡°Well probably tomorrow since you''re going to feel the exhaustion kick in just about now.¡± ¡°Wait, wh-¡± Right before I could ask what he meant I felt a never ending tide of exhaustion rush over me and I fainted. *** A ray of divine light landed in front of Sebastian and a pegasus that could pass off as a twin of him appeared within the divine light. The pegasus that just appeared said ¡°Dad wants you to come home now.¡± Sebastian replied with ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t leave this human I have made a familiar contract with him.¡± The pegasus had a look of incredulity that lasted for about a minute. ¡°Dad¡¯s going to be furious. But my interest is piqued on how is this human worthy enough for you to become his familiar?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a descendant of Asmodeus and the last Harbinger of Emma.¡± ¡°Which Asmodeus?¡± ¡°The true Asmodeus.¡± ¡°You know that this is a gamble that involves the entire race of pegasi correct?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± *** I awoke to Emma¡¯s voice ringing inside my head. (You slept for so long that even Belphegor would be impressed.)This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. ¡°Who?¡± (Oh yeah I forgot that I haven¡¯t taught you important deities but Belphegor is the Archdemon of Sloth.) ¡°I was just napping alright.¡± (If that was a nap then I don¡¯t want to see you sleep.) ¡°Wait, how long was I asleep for?¡± (A month give or take.) Right before I was going to say that was impossible another voice resounded throughout my head (You''re up now master?) ¡°Oh, so we can talk telepathically now?¡± (Of course, we can we twined our souls together.) ¡°My soul is getting crowded now.¡± (It¡¯s just going to become more and more crowded.) (It¡¯s true listen to Emma.) ¡°How can we have 3 way conversations if your two souls aren¡¯t also twined?¡± (Because we use your soul as a hub of conversation.) ¡°Why does that sounds like an intrusion of my privacy.¡± (Because it is.) ¡°That doesn¡¯t sound good.¡± (At least you didn''t infuse your souls.) (Oh yeah about that I will need to infuse our souls then our minds and then life relatively soon.) ¡°WAIT WHAT!¡± (What did you think an oath of the mind, body and soul include?) (Looks like I was right your wording is the epitome of perfection) ¡°And your sense of timing of telling me stuff is impeccable as always.¡± (Before you guys start your word war I have to say that it isn¡¯t really all that bad. Our souls are basically integrated already and the only difference with the mind is that I can read your thoughts and our lives are basically tied anyways.) ¡°In what way are our lives tied already?¡± (If we face an enemy that we can¡¯t beat combined we are probably dead, to begin with.) ¡°I didn¡¯t think about that. Anyways, Emma, you need to teach me some common sense in this world and mythology 101.¡± (Don¡¯t forget about your murder hoboing or upgrading our Citadel.) (Murder hoboing?) ¡°Killing random humans and animals for experience.¡± (That sounds like fun.) ¡°Wait, aren¡¯t you supposed to be a creature of righteousness?¡± (Isn¡¯t Emma the Goddess of love she enjoys it and I will also have to teach you about noble etiquette otherwise, I would have no face, to face my family.) (That was a terrible pun and you should feel bad.) (Your Harbinger appears to disagree with that statement.) (Traitor.) ¡°You don¡¯t want to FACE me anymore?¡± I could see that Sebastian was rolling on the ground laughing while I was trying to keep from chuckling. (I¡¯ll remember this when you need a blessing to save yourself.) Sebastian and I immediately stopped laughing and simultaneously said ¡°We are very sorry for our bad puns. May you please find it in your heart to forgive us.) I gave Sebastian a mental high-five. Chapter 9 I gave Sebastian a mental high-five. (No sincerity but I will still accept because I am a merciless deity.) There was an awkward silence that lasted for around a minute until I had to ask ¡°How do I get back to my plane?¡± (Just spirit walk back to your plane and remember to touch Sebastian while you spirit walk.) When I was spirit walking with Sebastian I felt like I wasn¡¯t walking like last time it was more like me sprinting. After what seemed like an instant I arrived back at my Citadel. ¡°Master, I am going to transform into my human form.¡± ¡°You have a human form and why aren¡¯t we talking mentally? ¡°We aren¡¯t talking mentally because it consumes our energy and there is no reason to on the physical plane.¡± ¡°What reason is there on the spirit realm?¡± ¡°A slumbering spirit might awaken.¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t we notice if a spirit is sleeping?¡± ¡°Maybe I could tell but you couldn¡¯t even tell if you were standing in one.¡± ¡°How could I be inside of a spirit?¡± ¡°Do you think after all that time you would only find me in the spirit world?¡± ¡°I did find that sort of weird but wouldn¡¯t I see weaker spirits?¡± ¡°No because otherwise all you would see would be spirits.¡± Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°So I can only see spirits of my power level?¡± ¡°No, because if you really need to find a spirit of lower of higher power you can see them but you need to actively try to.¡± ¡°Why could I see you then if you are supposedly stronger than me?¡± ¡°Because it compares our strength in the Spirit World not other planes.¡± ¡°How can I be as strong as you in the Spirit World?¡± ¡°You¡¯re a Spirit Knight for one and also Kitsune are also Spirits but because you are a divine Spirit you are born in the physical world.¡± ¡°Divine Spirit?¡± ¡°Divine Spirits are the strongest Spirits both in Battle Power and talent.¡± ¡°Battle power?¡± ¡°Emma really hasn¡¯t explained much has she?¡± ¡°Nope.¡± ¡°Battle Power is how strong you are for your level. For example geniuses usually can beat people above their level.¡± ¡°How do you gage Battle Power?¡± ¡°It¡¯s usually gaged by how many levels you can overcome.¡± ¡°What is your Battle Power?¡± ¡°15¡± ¡°Is that a lot?¡± ¡°10 was the highest record before me.¡± ¡°Do levels really mean that much?¡± ¡°I guess you wouldn¡¯t know because you haven¡¯t leveled up but 1 level is gigantic.¡± ¡°What does 1 level give you?¡± ¡°Stat points, skill points and new skills. Of course it depends on what level and what class but 1 level is usually huge.¡± ¡°What do you mean it depends on what level?¡± ¡°Some levels give you new skills which gives you a spike in power. For example Paladins get Angelic Form at level 50 which is a giant boost. If a level 49 Paladin can beat a level 50 Paladin you are considered a monster.¡± ¡°Emma hasn¡¯t explained exactly how you level up. So do you just kill stuff to gain exp?¡± ¡°She hasn¡¯t even explained this?¡± ¡°Nope, I assume I know less than a kid?¡± ¡°You know a little bit more than a kid but not much. Anyways you gain experience points when you push your limits. You usually get experience points when you kill stuff but you can also gain exp by preserving through something really boring. It all depends on the person.¡± ¡°How do I increase skill levels?¡± ¡°You gain skill levels by understanding more efficient or more creative ways to use them. Or you could also use skill points.¡± ¡°Okay that¡¯s good to know.¡± ¡°Anyways I am going to transform into my human form now.¡± Sebastian suddenly transformed to a mass of gold and then mass started shifting to the form of a human. When he turned into a human he was gigantic. He was around 8 to 9 feet tall and had arms the size of legs and legs the size of trees. I was stunned when I thought of Sebastian as a human I thought of a person with toned yet elegant muscles and with pure golden hair. Not a hulking behemoth with dirty blonde hair. In a voice that seemed like even a demon couldn¡¯t escape out of its depth Sebastian said ¡°My body transformation technique needs me to maintain a similar amount of body mass.¡± I was to stunned to respond and when I could finally speak I asked ¡°Can you raise up your eyebrow and stare at me?¡± When he raised his eyebrow to seemed like the heavens all I could think of is that he looks like the rock. I laughed so hard that I was rolling on the floor. ¡°Master are you alright?¡± I barely managed to say ¡°No you just look to much like somebody I know.¡± ¡°If you are alright then we need to go gain experience.¡± ¡°I know just let me stop laughing.¡± When I finally stopped laughing I stood up and started to follow Sebastian out the door. Chapter 10 After following Sebastian for a bit I asked ¡°Where are we going? ¡°I have no idea.¡± ¡°What are we trying to accomplish?¡± ¡°Trying to have you level up.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we just go to the forest and kill stuff?¡± ¡°Because finding creatures in the forest takes time.¡± ¡°Then what are we looking for.¡± ¡°A colosseum.¡± ¡°Tag team or solo?¡± ¡°Solo.¡± After wandering around for an hour we finally found a colosseum. It was around 35 feet tall and half a mile wide. I was surprised on how wide the colosseum was. I asked ¡°Are there multiple arenas?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± When we arrived at the colosseum I saw multiple people of all different races and even classes. I walked up to the receptionist and asked ¡§Where can I sign up for a solo fight?¡± ¡°Write your show name right here.¡± I wrote down the name I use for my game characters Insanity Echoes Throughout Eternity. When she saw the name that I wrote down she told me ¡°You have some balls to name yourself after the 4 champions.¡± Sebastian looked over and said ¡°You just had to name yourself after the 4 champions.¡±If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. ¡°I don¡¯t even know who the 4 champions are.¡± ¡°I forgot that Emma didn¡¯t tell you anything.¡± ¡°The 4 champions are 4 humans who founded the colosseum and raised to divinity.¡± ¡°So I basically just said that I am comparable to demi-gods?¡± ¡°Yup, but to join you in your arrogance I will name myself Justice Resounds Throughout Eternity.¡± ¡°Thank you for indulging in arrogance with me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my duty as your companion.¡± After we signed up I asked the receptionist when I could compete she said in 15 minutes. *** A genderless voice echoed throughout the colosseum ¡°Insanity Echoes Throughout Eternity faces the newbie champion Veil of Moonlight.¡± While I was walking onto the stage everybody in the audience was booing me and calling me arrogant. When I finally arrived on the stage I saw my opponent the person had a mask of a fox on and was obviously a kitsune because of the tail behind her. She said ¡°Hello, as a fellow kitsune I wish to tell you that I am Satashia Neverhail.¡± I responded with ¡°This is awkward, I am Lugh Neverhail¡± Once I said my name the entire audience started to murmur. ¡°You are of the main branch?¡± ¡°I am the son of Satashia and Alex Neverhail.¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be true because I am the daughter of Satashia and Alex Neverhail.¡± ¡°Well we might need to resolve this confusion after this fight.¡± ¡°No, we need to solve this now I don¡¯t want to hurt my brother.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about me getting hurt.¡± ¡°Oh really now I want to see how strong my supposed brother is.¡± She launched at me launching a flurry of mana infused punches. I sensed the enormous power in them and dodged all of them. I then launched a counterattack of my own. She also dodged all of them. I said ¡°Do you want to start actually fighting?¡± She responded with a fire spirit speeding towards me. ¡°Emma how do I summon spirits?¡± (This isn¡¯t a good time to ask this but just ask for a spirit to help you.) ¡°Please some water spirit of whatever quality just stop this fire attack.¡± (That was a weak ass plea for help but thankfully a spirit actually responded to that pathetic excuse of a plea.) A water spirit appeared besides me and made a water bubble around me. The fire immediately was doused. I then got my act together and asked ¡°I, Lugh Neverhail a Spirit Knight ask for a Herald of Lightning to strike my sister to submission.¡± A bolt of purple lightning was hurling towards my sister and a shield of rock appeared in front of her. She said ¡°This isn¡¯t going to go anywhere without our spirit companion.¡± ¡°I agree.¡± ¡°I Satashia Neverhail, call upon my faithful familiar Scary Larry the Leviathan of the haunted deep to help me in battle.¡± ¡°I Lugh Neverhail, call upon Sebastian Cloverhoof the 7th prince of heaven to aid me in my righteous act.¡± My sister immediately said ¡°I concede.¡± The genderless voice that called me up said ¡°Insanity Echoes Throughout Eternity wins!¡± Chapter 11 When I walked out of the stage the audience didn¡¯t clap or boo at my leaving they just stared at me. I waited for my sister at the exit of the stage. When she finally entered I said ¡°Scary Larry huh. How old were you when you came up with that name?¡± ¡°I was 2 at the time I found him in the Spirit World.¡± ¡°How old are you now?¡± ¡°6. Why?¡± ¡°I¡¯m 5 at the moment. Did you get abandoned at the age of 1?¡± ¡°Wait, you didn¡¯t?¡± ¡°Kitsune are supposed to be abandoned at the age of 1?¡± ¡°I was considered being abandoned late at the age of 1! When were you abandoned?¡±¡± ¡°I was abandoned like a week ago.¡± She was stunned and couldn¡¯t even form complete sentences for a minute and when she finally did say something it was ¡°What bloodline of Kitsune did you inherit?¡± ¡°The Divine Demon bloodline. Why?¡± ¡°Wait you¡¯re a Harbinger of Emma?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°How are you not dead yet?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not really nice of you but why do you ask that?¡± ¡°Because every Divine Demon Kitsune in hunted by both Heaven and Hell.¡± ¡°Was that why I saw my ancestor dying in my ancestral vision?¡±Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. ¡°You got to see that!¡± ¡°Yeah why does that matter?¡± ¡°Because usually your ancestral memory tells you about your bloodline.¡± ¡°Thankfully I know a little bit about that bloodline. So every Divine Demon Kitsune has a forbidden lover, a lover, a divine deed and an endless sin.¡± ¡°Is there anyway I can tell what they are?¡± ¡°Yes, you have to know yourself.¡± she then stuck her tongue out at me. ¡°At least I know 1 of them.¡± ¡°Wait you know 1 of them?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°My lover is Freya.¡± ¡°A secret between you and me Larry is the 7th prince of hell.¡± ¡°WHAT!¡± ¡°Shhh!¡± ¡°Why did you concede then?¡± ¡°Because I didn¡¯t want to kill everybody in the stadium.¡± ¡°I guess anyways was that your full power?¡± ¡°No around 5%.¡± ¡°That was 100% not including Divine or Infernal energy.¡± ¡°You sure are weak what level are you at?¡± ¡°Level 1 Spirit Knight.¡± ¡°You¡¯re that strong at level 1?¡± ¡°Yeah, what level are you?¡± ¡°Level 5 Spirit Knight.¡± ¡°So I have a battle power of 4?¡± ¡°Yeah, but how is your body that strong?¡± ¡°I mana tempered myself.¡± ¡°You can withstand the pain of mana tempering?¡± ¡°Yeah it sucked but I got used to it after awhile.¡± ¡°Maschochist.¡± ¡°Anyways, how did you level up?¡± ¡°I trained myself by hunting dire wolves in the forest.¡± ¡°Why did you join the colosseum if you could level by hunting wolves?¡± ¡°I joined the colosseum for combat experience.¡± ¡°Anyways do you want to stay at my Citadel?¡± ¡°Sure. It¡¯s time for me advance to rank E gladiator.¡± I gave her directions for her to reach my Citadel and then went to sign up for another match. I fought against an Avian. Avians are basically humans with bird wings. It was annoying trying to hit him with spirits but I finally got him with a lightning bolt and won the match. I got no experience points from it so I signed up for another match. It was against a human warrior. The human was wearing metal armor, had a sword and a gigantic shield. I just used a lightning bolt to knock him out. After 4 more matches of me steamrolling over people I asked Sebastian on what I could do and he said limit myself. After that I faced another human warrior with full plate, a sword and a gigantic shield. I decided to face him with only my body. The human rushed towards me I responded with me charging towards him. He swinged his sword towards me I decided to test my strength and tried to grab the swords blade. It failed miserably and my hand almost got sliced off. After that lesson I bared my claws and tried to scratch his armour. My claws broke. The entire audience was laughing at this point. What can I do to beat somebody who¡¯s stronger then me and also has better equipment. I decided since I can¡¯t beat him with brawn I will just exhaust him. I rushed up to him and when he swinged his sword I just dodged a safe distance away not trusting my ability to dodge by a hairs breath. I continued to do this for around 10 minutes and he conceded saying that he didn¡¯t have anymore energy to compete. At the end of the match I got a notification saying that I have gained the skill Dodge level 1 and 5 experience points. The man that I beat came up to me and asked if he could train with me. I responded with ¡°Of course I learned quite a bit from that match.¡± Chapter 12 There was a young boy and a middle aged man on a barren training field. The young boy and man rushed at each other. When they were about to collide the man stopped and the boy couldn¡¯t stop in time and collided into the man. The young boy stumbled to the ground and the man pointed his swords towards his throat and said ¡°Checkmate.¡± The young boy got up and asked ¡°How could you stop on the spot like that?¡± ¡°I found out that if I implant my aura in the ground in basically tethers me to that spot.¡± ¡°Now that I know that let¡¯s have a rematch.¡± The young boy and the middle aged man rushed towards each other again. The man stopped just as he did last time and the young boy instead of crashing into him rolled under him and then suplexed him. The young boy then put his claws up to the man, smiled and said ¡°Checkmate.¡± ¡°Rematch.¡± The young boy and the man rushed towards each other again. Neither of them stopped and then they collided. The man stayed there looking unfazed while the young boy toppled backwards. The man swung his sword right before the boy and said ¡°Checkmate.¡± ¡°Rematch.¡± This process continued until both of them were so exhausted that they couldn¡¯t stand up. The young boy was of course Lugh and the man was the person who he fought with in the arena. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that just a month ago you couldn¡¯t win a single match without your spirits.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe that just a month ago you could barely use aura to enhance your body.¡± After that the duo started to laugh. Lugh said ¡°You know that it sucks that you have to leave..¡± ¡°You know you could come along. You have a noble bloodline after all.¡±This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Lugh sighed and said ¡°I need some incentive if I¡¯m going to put myself on the Heaven and Hell radar.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a terrible name but if you win the noble tournament you can gain some coin and 1st place prize is a S ranked set of armour.¡± ¡°The chances of me winning against the true nobles are close to zero.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know if you don¡¯t try.¡± ¡°Is there any other events in that area?¡± ¡°There is the noble scholar tournament.¡± Lughs eyes lit up after he said that and asked ¡°What are they judging on?¡± ¡°Are you seriously thinking about entering that tournament?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°If you really want to then I won¡¯t stop you. The prize is a rank SSS amulet of focus.¡± ¡°How could an item of that quality be a prize for a scholar tournament!?¡± ¡°All it does is gives you unrivalled focus. It¡¯s not all that impressive.¡± ¡°NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE! FOCUS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN COMBAT!¡± ¡°How do you figure?¡± ¡°If you aren¡¯t focused in combat how could you analyze the weaknesses of your opponent. If you aren¡¯t focused how are you going to barely dodge attacks. If you aren¡¯t focused how will you make the correct decisions. Focus is one of the key components of being a good fighter.¡± ¡°I never really thought about it that way.¡± ¡°Anyways I guess I¡¯m coming along.¡± ¡°You better get packed I¡¯m leaving tonight.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make sure to be ready.¡± *** I was standing in front of a grandiose carriage wondering why there needs to be a carriage with golden embroidery. A butler came out of the carriage and said ¡°Master Lugh, Master Joseph wants to see you.¡± I went into the carriage and saw Joseph sitting there emitting an aura of grandeur unlike the aura he usually emitted. Following his example I emitted an aura of power that I learned from my parents. Joseph seems surprised that I could actually emit an aura. I told him that I am actually a noble. He laughed at that and said that we will be in the capital in 2 days. (When I¡¯m talking about aura as in the feeling you emmit it won¡¯t be a proper noun but if i¡¯m talking about the combat Aura it will be capitalized.) *** When we finally arrived a pair of guards plated in a dark blue armour stopped us and asked for identification. Joseph handed them a piece of paper which I assume is the identification. After the guards read it they had a look of respect and let us through. I asked him what house he was from. He responded with ¡°I am the crown prince of this empire.¡± I was surprised and asked ¡°What were you doing at the arena in Sylven?¡± He responded with ¡°I need to become stronger to rule the court and I am reaching for immortality. I actually have to worry about me dying of old age unlike you.¡± I just realized that I thought of myself more as a Kitsune then a human now. When I just reincarnated I thought of myself as a human at heart but now I have realized that I thought of myself as a Kitsune. I said ¡°I know the feeling of worrying about that more than you know. But immortality is a pretty large goal isn¡¯t it.¡± ¡°It is so that¡¯s why I need to start now.¡± After that he chuckled and said ¡°The tournament of scholars is starting today. So if you want to register you better go now.¡± After knowing that I rushed out of the carriage running towards the registration area. Chapter 13 A hearty looking man bellowed out ¡°1 more minute for the scholar tournament registration.¡± While I was sprinting towards the registration I yelled out ¡°I WANT TO REGISTER!¡± The man bellowed towards the me ¡°YOU DON¡¯T HAVE THE BEARING OF A SCHOLAR GET OUT!¡± I stopped and said ¡°How do you know that I¡¯m not a scholar?¡± ¡°Only nobility can read and write and if you were nobility you wouldn¡¯t have to run here.¡± ¡°I can prove my nobility.¡± ¡°Prove it.¡± I drew up the Neverhail house insignia. It was a fox looking up at the moon with a barren land of snow surrounding it. ¡°That doesn¡¯t look like a noble insignia I have seen you fraud!¡± A middle aged man dressed in a black suit walked up to the admission person and said ¡°What¡¯s the ruckus?¡± ¡°This fraud here is trying to enter the tournament.¡± ¡°I¡¯M NOT A FRAUD!¡± The man in black said ¡°Let me see his insignia.¡± I showed him and he raised his eyebrow and said ¡°I welcome young master Neverhail to the tournament.¡± Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. The man was obviously stunned. The only reason why I can think that he¡¯s stunned is that the man called me young master. I don¡¯t how high his status is but I assume its relatively high. While I follow him I see book titles that I know from Earth. I ask Emma ¡°Why do I see books from Earth?¡± (Because sometimes a book captures a God¡¯s interest and they spread it to other realms.) ¡°That explains it.¡± When we entered a gigantic hall he said ¡°It will be only 5 mins until the competition.¡± ¡°What are they judging on?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know the rules?¡± ¡°Nope.¡± The man sighed and said ¡°You really are a Neverhail.¡± ¡°What is the reputation of my house?¡± ¡°A house of Prideful, Forgetful and Talented Kitsune.¡± ¡°That seems about right.¡± ¡°Anyways in the preliminaries you just need to create a poem that the judges will rate.¡± ¡°Oh that¡¯s easy.¡± I remember a poem from high school. It should get me pass the preliminaries. A person sitting near the judges stand announced that the tournament has started. I scanned my competitors. All of them were people in their youth and all of them were focusing trying to write a poem. While I wrote down one of my favorite poems and relaxed. People saw that I wasn¡¯t writing they sneered and went back to writing. Once time finally ran out I saw some people were confident and others had a look of despair. One of the judges said ¡°Come up and show us your poem.¡± Multiple people went up and most of them received a 5 or lower. Just when I was starting to lose my patience I was called up. The judges asked me ¡°Are you arrogant or are you really good enough to write for 1 minute and stop writing?¡± ¡°I am confident that this is one of the best poems you will ever see.¡± The other participants laughed and there were several comments such as ¡°You think that you are some poetry grandmaster or something?¡± ¡°Who came up with the proverb ignorance is a blessing? Since it sure isn¡¯t a blessing for this guy.¡± There were also other comments but those are the first 2 that I heard. One of the judges finally had enough and said ¡°ENOUGH LET HIM SHOW US HIS POEM!¡± I started to recite my poem. ¡°Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I''ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.¡± After I finished reciting my plagiarized poem all of them had their mouths opens. The judges were also shocked. While I was thinking please don¡¯t ask me about my inspiration the judges rated my poem a 10/10. I went back down to my seat and waited for the judges to finish rating the other contestants. Chapter 14 I went back down to my seat and waited for the judges to finish rating the other contestants. They finally finished and they announced that only 10 people had passed. The list included me and 9 other people who I didn¡¯t know. One of the judges said that the next round is a fantasy novel and we have 2 weeks to write the story. I started to write the first novel I thought of. Which was Lord of the Rings. I have gained eidetic memory because of my race and high intelligence stat. I started copying down the epic fantasy that was Lord of the Rings. I took me around 3 days to fully write it by hand. After I finished I just sat down and started to meditate to increase my mana. *** The 2 weeks have finally past and the judges said there was a 1-3 week evaluation period. So I continued to meditate. *** The evaluation period lasted around 3 weeks. They rated mine and 1 other persons a 10/10. They announced that me and the other person advanced to the final round. On the final round I was supposed to create any form of literature and we had 3 days to write it. I decided on writing a portion of a poem. The poem that I edited was A Tribute to Tyrone by Kily Dunbar. It only took me a minute to write down. *** The 3 days came to an end and I was called up first. ¡°A thousand words won¡¯t bring you back; I know because I¡¯ve tried. Neither will a thousand tears; I know because I¡¯ve tried.¡± The judges were surprised and rated mine a 10/10. The other person got a 9/10 and the judges declared me the winner. A man carried a black box and handed it to me and said ¡°This is the reward for 1st place.¡± Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Thank you very much.¡± I opened up the box and saw an amulet. It had an azure blue sapphire hanging off of it. I put it around my neck and once it surrounded my neck I felt like I was handicapped before I put this amulet on. It is sort of hard to explain what being focused to this extent feels like. When I have this amulet is on I feel like I can focus at will and still be somewhat aware of my surroundings but my sense of time while in this hyperfocus is terrible. I feel like I could be focused on something for 1 week and feel like it was a second. I put some mana into the object and I suddenly feel even more focused but lose all sense of my surroundings. I put some aura into it and I suddenly felt not focused but calm. I had a complete sense of my surroundings and I felt like the heavens could fall and I still couldn¡¯t panic. I then put some Divine Energy into the amulet and I feel diligent. I could work eternity and still not think about lazing around. I pondered about putting Infernal Energy into it and decided to test it. The second I put Infernal Energy into the amulet I had an urge to do nothing. I only snapped out of the urge to do nothing after Emma screamed at me to snap out of it. ¡°Emma do you know what that item?¡± (Yeah its called the Amulet of Diligence by some and the Amulet of Sloth by others.) ¡°Is there any other functions that I don¡¯t know about from testing?¡± (Yeah, if you put a contracted spirit in there it will train faster.) ¡°Oh that¡¯s useful.¡± (And just so you know there is another 6 of these items and they form either the 7 Divine Virtues or the 7 Deadly Sins.) ¡°What is the use of the sloth function of this amulet?¡± (I can¡¯t tell you.) ¡°Why not?¡± (Because you¡¯re not ready for the power of sloth.) ¡°Power of laziness? Seems pretty useless to me.¡± (Sloth does not equal being lazy.) ¡°Anyways is SSS the true rank of this amulet?¡± (Absolutely not. It¡¯s ranked at XXX.) ¡°Wait after S its X?¡± (After X its legend.) ¡°XXX huh.¡± (If anybody from this world knew what you were thinking right now people would think you are defiling the name of a XXX ranked artifact.) ¡°Anyways I need to get out of here.¡± I walked out of the tournament area and found Joseph waiting for me. Chapter 15 ¡°Hey Lugh what took you so long?¡± ¡°I just needed to get used to the amulet.¡± ¡°I heard that you dominated the competition. How did you write all of those in such a short period of time?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t really write any of those. I just plagiarized from a friend of mine.¡± Joseph laughed and said ¡°If the other nobles found out they would be green from regret.¡± ¡°Anyways how did you do in the noble tournament?¡± ¡°Good, not the best but still strong enough to beat my brothers.¡± ¡°When is the next tournament?¡± ¡°Its an annual event.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s good.¡± ¡°Are you actually going to join it next year?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good because if you join I can enter the tag team tournament.¡± ¡°Do you have any allies/friends besides for me?¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be the main successor if I didn¡¯t. But my main support is from the commoners.¡± ¡°No noble support?¡± ¡°Besides for you I only am allies with the Deepheart family.¡± ¡°Deepheart family? I¡¯ve made sure to learn all of the houses and political powers in the capital but I¡¯ve never heard of the Deepheart family¡± ¡°The Deepheart family is the royal family of the Leviathans.¡± ¡°Why did you choose support of the Divine Beast families instead of human families?¡± ¡°Because the Divine Beast families power exceeds our nation''s power and Divine Beast rulers don¡¯t have power changes very often unlike human powers¡±The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°Even if the Divine Beast families powers exceeds the human nobles power the Divine Beast families are far away.¡± ¡°Even if they are far away their future successors aren¡¯t.¡± ¡°Who?¡± ¡°From the Kitsune side you and your sister are both from the True Family and from the Leviathan side there is a kid named Sarah who is the direct descendent of the current Leviathan king.¡± ¡°The True Family?¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t know anything about your own family?¡± ¡°If I knew would I be asking.¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t be the one to ask but basically if you are in the True Family you have a top tier bloodline.¡± ¡°Okay. Do you know why Kitsune abandon their kids at 1 or 2?¡± ¡°All I know is that it is a recent tradition.¡± ¡°Anyways I want to meet Sarah where is she?¡± ¡°Sarah is currently helping her family in the Royal Reef.¡± ¡°Royal Reef?¡± ¡°The Royal Reef is in the depths of the ocean.¡± ¡°I just realized how much I don¡¯t know about this continent.¡± He laughed and said ¡°Of course, it takes years to learn about every part of this continent. Anyways do you want me to give you a quick geographical lesson about this continent? ¡± ¡°Yes please.¡± He told be about the general locations of the continent. The main points are that we are the only country on this continent, we are surrounded by a giant ocean, have lost contact with other continents and the Royal Reef is in the depths of the eastern sea. It is also where the Leviathans live. After the mini geography lesson I asked him ¡°I¡¯m assuming that you wanted to talk about something more important.¡± ¡°Yeah, I wanted to ask you if you know about your family''s condition?¡± ¡°What happened to my family?¡± ¡°Well it¡¯s not just your family but your entire race.¡± ¡°Continue.¡± ¡°The Phoenix clan declared war on the Kitsune.¡± I shocked. I couldn¡¯t even think clearly for a couple of minutes. Thankfully when I could think I was somewhat calm. I activated my amulet. ¡°Give me specifics please.¡± ¡°You reacted better than I thought you would and currently it isn''t a true war but the Phoenix clan revoked their peace treaty. Other than that I don¡¯t really know much.¡± ¡°Do we have any allies?¡± ¡°Yeah, for beast allies you have all of the nature alliance and for the mortal allies you have the Elves and Dryads. ¡°What allies do the Phoenix clan have?¡± ¡°Fire Giants and Dwarves.¡± ¡°Why would the Dwarves want to support the Phoenix clan?¡± ¡°Because the Phoenix clan is offering them Eternal Flames.¡± ¡°Eternal Flames?¡± ¡°Once a Phoenix dies they turn into an egg and live anew but when they die they leave a little bit of flames that never die. The Eternal Flames also auto tune their temperature for forging and before you ask Dwarves value forging over their lives.¡± ¡°I at least know that much about Dwarves and have the Phoenix clan burned down any forests yet?¡± ¡°Actually about that the Phoenix clan won¡¯t because the Luna clan said they would join the war if they do.¡± ¡°Luna clan?¡± ¡°You truly know nothing. The Luna clan is a combination of wolves and other canines.¡± ¡°If you inherit the throne will you help my clan?¡± ¡°Of course but I need the throne first.¡± ¡°When will you inherit it?¡± ¡°In 5 years.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you just have to conquer the throne since you''re of age?¡± Joseph had black lines forming on his forehead and said ¡°I¡¯m 16 right now.¡± ¡°WHAT!¡± ¡°I¡¯m only 16.¡± ¡°You look like you¡¯re 36.¡± ¡°To think that I was going to give you housing at the palace.¡± ¡°I have no idea what you are talking about you look like a young 16 year old.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t hear you.¡± Chapter 16 I tried to convince Joseph to let me into the palace but he said ¡°You can enter when you have the qualifications to enter the palace.¡± I don¡¯t even know what the requirements are to enter the palace. I decided since I don¡¯t have any money I will just go in the forest and train. I just remember I haven¡¯t seen Sebastian for around a month. I reach to him through my bond. ¡°Hey, Sebastian can you hear me?¡± ¡°I can hear you but where were you? I tried to talk to you but you wouldn¡¯t respond.¡± ¡°I got this cool amulet and Emma said I was influenced by sloth.¡± I suddenly felt a sense of surprise even though there was nothing for me to be surprised about. ¡°Oh sorry I just forgot to hide my emotions.¡± ¡°Hide your emotions?¡± ¡°While you were under the influence of sloth we started the merging of minds. So now we can feel each other¡¯s emotions.¡± ¡°Do we know each others thoughts?¡± ¡°Not yet but after the merging of bodies we will know all of each other¡¯s influential memories.¡± ¡°How does the merging of bodies work and why do we know each other¡¯s memories at the merging of bodies?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry we don¡¯t actually become one entity we gain an instinctual understanding of each other and we gain only the most important memories of our life at the merging of bodies because when something extremely important happens our emotions stick to our body and soul.¡± Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! ¡°You mentioned that we don¡¯t merge bodies before and our emotions are a substance?¡± ¡°No emotions aren¡¯t a substance they just blast an imprint onto yourself or other people. I also haven¡¯t experienced the merging of bodies before so I don¡¯t really know how to explain it.¡± ¡°Is the imprint dangerous and then how do you know that we don¡¯t merge bodies?¡± ¡°The imprint isn¡¯t dangerous most of the time and I know because my family members had taught us how it works.¡± ¡°Do the imprints do anything and every pegasus merges their mind, body and soul to somebody?¡± ¡°The imprints can be useful. For example killing intent is just a manifestation of imprints of hatred blasted towards you when people die and almost every pegasus bonds with somebody not necessarily with their mind, body and soul.¡± ¡°What are all the uses and detriments of imprints?¡± ¡°Some mediums and psykers can use imprints to damage others or protect themselves.¡± ¡°Psychics?¡± ¡°Psychics are completely different then psykers. Psykers use imprints and the emotion realm to their advantages and psychics use their mind to manipulate objects or attack people¡¯s minds.¡± ¡°Finally somebody tells me important facts when they come up.¡± After I said that Sebastian didn¡¯t respond so I just continued walking towards the forest. I continued to think about how to level up because even with the hard training with Joseph I have only gained 15% of the experience acquired to level up. ¡°You only have 15% of the experience because you are extremely powerful for your level so it will take a long time for you to level up because the experience scales with your strength. The advantage of that is that each level for you is gigantic and you can battle people way above your level. Now I have a question for you now.¡± ¡°Go on ahead with your question. ¡°How did you know the bond of mind, body and soul? ¡°I just came up with that wording why?¡± ¡°Because that bond is an ancient technique that has been lost for millennia.¡± ¡°Seemed pretty easy to figure out.¡± ¡°If you know the wording of course it¡¯s easy it¡¯s just that the technique was lost.¡± I felt an ominous feeling surround me. ¡°Please stop doing that.¡± ¡°Sorry, I forgot but I need want to test something.¡± ¡°What do I need to do?¡± ¡°Just answer my questions. If you were to curse somebody what would be the chant you would use?¡± ¡°By the power of the Yin and Yang. By the power of Heaven and Hell. By the moon and its six stages. By the night of sorrow. I see thy heart broken. I see thy blood turned black. I see thy soul tatterted. I craft a curse behind your back. I will take my revenge and more. I take what you deem good. So leave me be.¡± I felt utter shock. ¡°Who is your ancestor?¡± ¡°Asmodeus why?¡± Chapter 17 ¡°That would explain it.¡± ¡°Explain what?¡± ¡°Why you naturally know about bonds and curses.¡± ¡°Was Asmodeus known for curses?¡± ¡°He was known for a lot of things but seals and curses were his specialty.¡± ¡°Seals?¡± ¡°Things to bind down existences that normally can¡¯t be killed.¡± ¡°Examples please.¡± ¡°For example you can seal a ghost.¡± ¡°So you can''t kill ghosts?¡± ¡°Sorry ghosts are a bad example. A better example are demons.¡± ¡°Just to clarify is there a difference between demons and devils?¡±Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Yes, devils have more freedom while demons must follow contracts." ¡°How do you talk about demons/devils in general?¡± ¡°You call demons and devils Daemons.¡± ¡°Anyways, can you come into the physical plane so I don¡¯t have to walk to the forest?¡± A golden ray of light landed in front of me and he appeared in his animal form. He was as stunning as ever. I don¡¯t ever think that I will be able to make the noble aura that he admits. I mount upon him and he canters towards the forest. He suddenly starts picking up pace into a gallop and when he jumps I fall off onto the ground. He continues to gallop away. ¡°HEY!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I fell off.¡± I see him look back and suddenly starts galloping back. When he arrives back to me I mount upon him and said ¡°You need to warn me when you jump.¡± ¡°And you need to learn how to ride a horse.¡± ¡°I do but you also need to be a better steed.¡± ¡°You consider me a steed?¡± ¡°No I don¡¯t consider you a steed I consider you a friend.¡± I could feel anger rising within him. ¡°Then why did you call me a steed.¡± I didn¡¯t know what to say because I had no reason to call him a steed. I sent him regret and guilt towards him. I hope that he would forgive me for what I said. He sent me a slur of emotions it was mainly confusion. Because my purpose off showing my intentions were showed I asked ¡°Why are you confused?¡± ¡°I thought you don¡¯t like exposing your feelings?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t but if I need to send my intentions to you I will temporarily unlock it.¡± ¡°You permanently unlocked it.¡± I tried to close the gates of my emotions but it wouldn¡¯t shut. I tried everything I could think of, building a new gate, trying to stop the river flow but nothing happened. I started to panic. Before panic overwhelmed me I activated the amulet and started to think about what I could do to fix this and after a minute or two I couldn¡¯t think of any solutions. I started to think about the advantages and disadvantages of this. After organizing my thoughts into an imaginary bullet list I determined that Sebastian and I probably bond faster, will have more trust and the disadvantage is me not having my privacy. Now that I think about it¡¯s not that big of a disadvantage because I will have to give it up at some point. I try transmitting my thoughts through the river. Schedule Change Hey guys I have an annoucment regarding my update schedule. I will start posting 4-5 1000 word chapters a week on no specific time period. I will also need to take this week off because I need to finilize my story outline. Sorry for the delay.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. -Final Status Update- Sorry to inform you all but I am officially dropping The Creep of Fate. There are a couple of reasons why I am dropping this story. The first reason is because when I first started this story I just jumped in without thinking about what was going to happen. This fact alone made it hard for me to write chapters because I had no idea what to write or where to lead the story. I also started to dislike my own plot and characters. I felt like Lugh was just too whiny and I didn''t really like the character interaction with Lugh and Emma. For people who supported me and my work, I am sorry that I can''t finish this. Although I did not like this story I learned a couple of valuablethings from this short time which I will make sure to keep in mind of in my next work. Hopefully, you guys should be able to read my new work sometime in May.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. With sincere apologies Iamacultivator
