《a soldier tale》


 [prologue]

    ¡°The true ardour is a quest, not an impulse, a passion, a hunter¡¯s instinct.¡±


    Fran?ois CHENG


    [15 June 1940]


    [Loire]


    BTOOOM


    Mortar fell not far from the camp, projecting debris on the soldier keeping watch on the bridge.


    At the entrance of the camp, a man equipped with a radio ran in a tent.


    ¡°Sir, the Nazi are at the bridge, we can¡¯t push them back.¡±


    An officer was sitting in a tent, looking at a map. Since the beginning of the war, the French soldier kept on losing battle because of some stupid brass refusing to listen to the advice of the men on the front.


    ¡°What about the 27 battalion? Are they still on the other side?¡±


    The soldier nodded. The fact that they were still alive until now was thank to this battalion. With their knowledge of guerrilla, they helped them keeping the Nazi at bay. The officer sighed and looked at the map again.


    ¡°Send them a message, tell them to keep their position and buy us time. We need to join the 8 regiment.¡±


    The soldier was a bit taken by surprise.


    ¡°But sir, it¡¯s like ordering them to die! They are not more than a hundred and have no heavy weapon to face the first Panzerdivision.¡±


    The officer punched the table and stood up.


    ¡°You think I don¡¯t know??? You think I don¡¯t understand??? We have no choice! In front of us, the first Panzerdivision, at the north, a battalion of waffen SS and to the south, the troops of Mussolini. Our only hope is to join La Rochelle and embark with the rest of our army.¡±


    The soldier stared blankly at the ground. He already knew that but abandoning his fellow soldier to a certain death made him feel horrible.


    ¡°Give them the order¡­ and announce our troop that we are going to La Rochelle.¡±


    The officer sat and massaged his forehead. He didn¡¯t want to do that but if no one stood here to cover their retreat, everything they did until now would go to waste.


    [In a building on the other side of the bridge]


    ¡°Are you sure sure about the orders? Yes? Don¡¯t worry, I understand, it¡¯s not your fault.¡±


    The major was at the radio while his men were at the windows on different buildings, keeping watch on the street leading to the bridge.


    ¡°Hey lionel, what do you think about the orders?¡±


    The sniper put down his gun and looked at his chief that had a gloomy look.


    ¡°We are doomed. I bet the lieutenant will retreat while we¡¯ll have to keep fighting to give them a bit more time.¡±


    The man with the binoculars put them down and laughed awkwardly.


    ¡°Dude, don¡¯t say that. They can¡¯t give such heartless order¡­. I think.¡±


    ¡°Meh, not like I care anyway.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that, what about your family?¡±


    ¡°Died on the first days of the war on the border.¡±


    The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    ¡°A girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°Cheated on me with my childhood friend, caught them when we came back from the training three years ago. Some of my civilian friend told me they knew about it and it was way older than that but never dared to tell me.¡±


    ¡°Dude¡­. Are you some kind of black cat? Anyway, I bet my last cigar that we won¡¯t die tonight.¡±


    ¡°Challenge accepted.¡±


    As they talked the major called all his men and grouped them in the hall of a half destroyed hotel. They were all looking tired. It has been days since they had some time to rest.


    The major looked at his men and sighed.


    ¡°Men, I have bad news and a good news. Which one first?¡±


    The men looked at each other and then at their chief. A man in his forty took a step forward and spoke, it was Lionel.


    ¡°The bad one sir.¡±


    The major looked at him.


    ¡°The higher up want us to keep the Nazi from chasing them and order us to stay behind to cover their retreat.¡±


    The men began to talk between them and the sound of chatter began to cover the voice of the major.


    ¡°SILENCE!¡±


    They stopped talking and looked at their chief. Lionel looked at him and spoke again.


    ¡°What about the good one?¡±


    The major smiled and spoke higher.


    ¡°Tonight we show them why they should fear the 27.¡±


    The men yelled in unison. Since they will die, at least they wouldn¡¯t die without taking some of them with them.


    When the laughter stopped, the major ordered them and gave them new mission and position. Lionel had to go on the roof of the building with his friend Alain to snipe at the turrets on the tanks.


    As he was adjusting his sight, alain sat next to him.


    ¡°Guess you won, take it.¡±


    Lionel took the cigar and lit it. After taking a few puff of the cigar gave it to Alain.


    ¡°HA! I knew you weren¡¯t heartless.¡±


    ¡°Keep telling you that. Wait don¡¯t you hear that?¡±


    ¡°hear what?¡±


    He took is sniper and looked around to found nothing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you hear it? You know the same sound as a falling bomb.¡±


    Alain stopped talking and listened. The sound was getting louder.


    ¡°Holy shit, mor¡­ !¡±


    He couldn¡¯t finish his sentence. A bomb fell on them, ending their lifes in a few second. After this explosion, other were heard on the other spot where their friends were placed. The Nazi¡¯s mortar kept on shooting, destroying the buildings near the bridge. The 27 battalion men still alive fired at the Nazi but, hiding behind the tanks, the mortar were untouchable.


    The fight ended in one day, killing every man from the 27 battalion. Luckily the men that were retreating managed to reach la Rochelle thus their sacrifice wasn¡¯t in vain.

 wake up

    ¡°MORTAR!!!¡±


    Lionel jerked up in furry. How could he forget about this sound? It has haunted his night for months. He suddenly stopped moving. The place was dark, he wasn¡¯t on the roof anymore.


    Did I fall with the building ceiling?


    He looked around, trying to find some light source but found nothing. After a few step he finally reached what felt like a wall. He kept walking with the its help and finally touched an interrupter.


    ¡°Finally!¡±


    As he pushed it, light blinded him.


    ¡°For the love of god!¡±


    After waiting a few minutes to regain his sight, he could finally look at his surroundings. He wasn¡¯t in the hotel, he was sure of it. He was in some kind of hangar. It seemed to be 100 by 25, 2500m2. He was at the end of it, far from the door.


    Next to him was a bed made of wood and fur. He tried to remember what kind of beast had this type of fur but couldn¡¯t see any animals with this kind of white color. He then switched to the other part of the hangar.


    Near the bed he saw what looked like a bathroom but much more futuristic than what he ever had at home.


    On the other side, he saw a workshop with a forge. He left the bed and went to examine it. It had everything needed to build bullet, arrow, bow and arrow. He tried to think of a place near the hotel that could have this kind of tools but nothing came to his mind. He went back to the ¡°bathroom¡± and opened the dresser he saw near it.


    Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    Inside, fur clothes were settled. He touched them and frowned. How could his battalion miss a place like that? It must be a survivalist hiding place. He went back to the workshop and searched through the drawer. Aside from the tools he found a Mle 1892 and 24 mun. Aside from that the place was kinda empty.


    He then went to the door of the hangar and prepared his weapon. He didn¡¯t know how much time passed since he fell unconscious but the nazi would probably be already here.


    He put his sniper on his back and prepared his gun. Breathing heavily, he prepared himself to rush outside. After a few second, he jumped out.


    ¡°What the actual fuck?!¡±


    He pinched himself and looked around him again.


    ¡°So it¡¯s not dream¡­..¡±


    Aside from the hangar behind him, he could only see snow around him. A vast snow plain. He stared for few minutes before going back in the hangar.


    ¡°What the fuck happened¡­¡±


    He went to the bed and after putting aside his weapons and equipment lay down.


    ¡°seriously¡­. What happened when I saw unconscious¡­¡°

 memory [chapter 1 part 1]

    Lionel was sleeping. It had been days since he has some rest. While he was sleeping, two persons appeared at the entrance of the hangar. One of the two turned on the light.


    It was a man and a woman. They had pale skin, but more importantly, they had wings. The woman threw her coat on the ground and went to the bathroom.


    ¡°Haaa¡­ I hate those meeting, just because I went on a trip to earth they called us, that¡¯s stupid.¡±


    The man went to the workshop while the woman was rumbling, on his way, he spotted lionel¡¯s weapons.


    ¡°Dear, did you bring souvenir from your trip? ¡°


    ¡°No, why?¡±


    As he asked that the man finally saw lionel sleeping on the bed.


    ¡°Look like we have a visitor¡­¡±


    Undressed, the woman came out of the bathroom.


    ¡°What do you¡­? Ho¡­¡±


    Looking where her husband was looking, she finally saw lionel.


    ¡°I guess I made a mistake.¡±


    The man went near lionel and stared at him.


    ¡°What should we do with him?¡±


    The woman put some light clothes and joined the man.


    ¡°Send him back to his world?¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t, the council blocked the path to earth.¡±


    ¡°that¡¯s true¡­ What do you propose then?¡±


    ¡°I felt a summoning earlier why not just add him to the summoning?¡±


    The woman looked at lionel and frowned.


    The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡°Yes, but not like that, he would be too weak to survive a summoning. Since his body is unable to bear mana, you should transform him.¡±


    ¡°I?¡±


    ¡°Yes, you, I¡¯m horrible at manipulating people flesh.¡±


    The man sighted and looked at lionel.


    ¡°So what kind of transformation?¡±


    ¡°I thought of hecaton.¡±


    ¡°Hecaton?¡±


    ¡°Yes, you know those humanoids we saw on terarius, four arms, 2 meters tall?¡±


    ¡°HO¡­ them¡­ Well, at least he will be able to survive the summoning.¡±


    As they finished talking, the man began to work on lionel.


    ¡°By the way, what about his memory?¡±


    ¡°Erase his memory.¡±


    ¡°ah, isn¡¯t it a bit ¡­ too much?¡±


    ¡°Who care, when I went to earth, they were at war and since he his dressed like a soldier, he would have died anyway.¡±


    ¡°Ho, ok¡­¡±


    He kept working on lionel, change began to appear on his body two arm grew and his muscle began to grow.


    After hours of work, lionel finally had the body of a Hecaton . Due to the transformation, his jacket got destroyed and he was only left with his trouser.


    ¡°Send him now, I¡¯m getting sleepy.¡±


    ¡°right, right,.here we go.¡±


    He clasped his hand and lionel body began to glow before disappearing.


    ¡°Good luck young man.¡±

 adapting [chapter 1 part 2]

    ? Poor human¡­ ?


    A woman was standing next to a floating lionel.


    ¡°To be transformed in an unknown species and transported in a world you know nothing about...¡±


    She touched his forehead and his body began to glow. As time passed, his old feature began to show again. He was a human again.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I won¡¯t be able to help you too much. I¡¯m but a goddess without follower. At most, i¡¯ll be able to give you a longer life, I know it¡¯s not enough for what happened to you but I can¡¯t do much more...¡±


    She patted his head ans smiled.


    ¡°At least you¡¯ll be free from your past¡­.¡±


    she let go of him and took a step back.


    ¡°I hope you¡¯ll have a long life¡±


    As she said so, a circle appeared under him and he disappeared. The goddess sat on the emptiness and sighed.


    ¡°With the energy I have left, I won¡¯t last more then one year¡­. Well, I met someone at least...¡±


    [On a dense forest]


    ¡°Urg, my head hurt...¡±


    I felt like a bastard punched me in the head. I felt pain all over my body. I tried to stand up but I was too weak so I closed my eyes again and fell asleep. I woke up hours later, darkness began to spread around me.


    This time I successfully stood up. To my surprise I only had a trouser on. As I looked around, I could only spot trees.


    ¡°I need to find somewhere to hide, I don¡¯t know where I am but it would be wise to avoid unnecessary danger. ¡°


    I went to the nearest tree and began to climb up. As I reached a branch high enough, I sat on it and thought. I tried to remember how I ended up here and who I was but every time I began to remember something or felt I would remember something, I would have a massive headache.


    ¡°I guess it¡¯s not important¡­.for now.¡±


    I closed my eyes again and tried to sleep. I had a strange dream while I was sleeping. A beautiful woman was smiling at me and speaking. I didn¡¯t understand what she was saying but I could feel the kindness in her eyes. When I woke up, I began to miss the tenderness od this woman, it was a strange feeling.


    ¡°hum¡­. I need to make a shelter and build a fire place. Next, I¡¯ll make some hunting tools.¡±


    I began to walk around searching for some branch, liana and rock. Luckily this forest had prety much everything I needed. I had to work on the lianas since they were too short on not strong enough but as the day ended, I had finished the ceiling on the tree. At least, I wouldn¡¯t have to fear about the rain. I just had to do the floor and wall to be okay.


    The second day, I began to feel the need to eat and drink. I had to walk around thirty minutes before finding anything to drink and when I finally found a river I realized it was just five minutes from the tree I lived in. I felt stupid when I came back to the tree. I had more luck for the food. Just under the tree, I found some edible berries. On the long run it won¡¯t be enough but until I finish the house it will be enough.


    It took me three days to finish the ¡°small¡± wooden house on the tree. I don¡¯t know why but while I was making it I had the feeling I should make a statue of the woman I saw in my dream. I had no tool to make it right so I made a crude statue but I felt it was enough and put it on an altar inside the house.


    After making sure the house was sturdy enough, I began to make weapon to hum. I had no problems when I made the spear but it proved to be more difficult when it came to the bow and arrow. After a lot of mistake, I finally made a rough bow. It was hard to use it but the power was good, as for the arrow, it was hard to work the rock but it only took me three or four arrow to be able to make them good enough.


    Sometime, when I was working in the house, I would hear monster passing under it. The first time I saw one of those best was a few days ago. It¡¯s form was gross and disgusting, I never saw something like this¡­. I think¡­


    Anyway, I saw more and more of them so I had to make my hunting tools stronger and sturdier, if not, I was sure it would break when I would use them. Surprisingly, the rock around there are surprisingly hard.


    Finally the day to test them came. Since I didn¡¯t know how strong those beast were, I made sure to stay far from them. The first I met was ¡­ I can¡¯t find the word to describe it¡­


    ¡°Well¡­ I guess it¡¯s fine since it has fur¡±


    Since I regained consciousness I was only dressed with a trouser. While I had no problem with that at the beginning, I remarked that the weather was getting colder, not by much, but it meant that it would be winter soon.


    I had to wait for hours before the beast went on a good place for me to shoot at it. The string of the bow was really hard to pull but when the arrow flew, it practically disappeared. I looked at the monster as it fell on the ground lifelessly.


    ¡°¡­ seriously?¡±


    I went out of my hiding place and approached the corpse. I began to remove the leather and fur and tried to take as much meat as possible. While I was working on the corpse, I understood why it died in one shoot. The arrow was planted on some kind of organ near the head.


    ¡°So it¡¯s some kind of weak point.¡±


    The sun was getting low so I had to go back to my house. Since I had nothing to preserve the meat, I smoked it and made bacon. It took me the whole night to smoke everything. I used the time between two preparation to make some ¡°clothes¡± with the fur.


    Stolen story; please report.


    ¡°Fuuuuuuuu¡±


    It was hard¡­ harder than everything I did so far. I had to use the fur and a needle like rock to sew. It was so damn frustrating. I had to work on the needle like rock to make it thinner and braid the fur to make it longer. I don¡¯t know how much time it took me to finish all the clothes but I¡¯m sure it took me a day.


    I stored the food in a hand made box and equipped the clothes I made. It wasn¡¯t really comfortable but it was warm. I made a small device near the river that would clean the water. It¡¯s simple, I took a big leaf put it on a hollow rock with a flat rock on top of it, leaning on the side where I put another hollow rock with a leaf. It sound pretty difficult but it¡¯s very simple in fact. The water will boil when the sun is up, vapor will touch the flat rock, making drops of water falling on the second recipient.


    I don¡¯t where I learned that but it sure is useful.


    Now that I think about it, I knew how to make a ¡°house¡±, how to make weapon and how to make clothes¡­ Everything came as if it was natural. Maybe I was already leaving in the wild and got hit on the head? It would explain a lot.


    Anyway, it¡¯s calm here, I don¡¯t have to worry about the food, water or house.


    ¡°I¡¯ll stay here.¡±


    I don¡¯t know why but I felt the need to speak out loud. Maybe to remember how to speak? Meh¡­


    As time passed I made furniture for the house, I also made it bigger since the tree was big. From time to time, I would go hunting. Every time I would encounter different beast. I don¡¯t know how it is possible. Well, I¡¯m exaggerating a little but there was only a few time were I would meet the cow or bull, I named them like that since they looked alike. While one had a bigger build, the other had two more legs. They looked nothing like cow and bull but I saw them eating grass only so¡­


    One of the most fearsome beast I hunted was a wolf two meters tall. At first I didn¡¯t want to hunt it but the beast was walking near my home and it didn¡¯t look like it wished to leave the area. I tried to kill it with trap but every time it would avoid them. I had no choice but hunting it. At first, I thought, it would rush at me when I went after it but surprisingly the beast avoided me.


    After days of hunting, I finally found it¡¯s lair, A small hole in a hill. I stood for days near its hole. The beast knew I was here but it never attacked me. I used this ¡°time out¡± to observe it.


    The beast was smart. Thank to its brown fur, it could hide in the forest and ambush the other monsters. Every time it came back to the hole, it would look at my hiding place. I felt no threat from it so I went back to my house. As the day passed, the prey began to be hard to find. I thought about the wolf and felt bad for it so every day I would give it a bit of my meat.


    After a few weeks, I could walk near him without fearing it to attack me. How I know it wouldn¡¯t attack me? I think it was six days after I began to find small prey I never saw before under my house. Those present would appear every night after I came back from the cave.


    Those exchange were the beginning of a give and take relationship with the wolf, he would give me prey, I would take out the meat from the prey and give halt to it. As time flew by, the wolf was being more and more familiar with me. I even got to pet it, from the sound it made, it was quite pleased.


    One day, it disappeared, I don¡¯t know what happened to it, but I couldn¡¯t find it in the forest. The second day, it didn¡¯t come either. I went to its cave after five days passed, it was strange how much time passed since I last saw it.


    I went inside the cave and saw it heavily wounded. I could see its blood on the ground.


    It had a tired face, it was dying and I could do nothing. I patted its head and I saw him weakly wag his tail. I felt a bit sad about it. I was about to leave when it grunted. From under him, six small cub came out.


    ¡°are you kidding?¡±


    It looked at me and closed its eyes. I went near it and patted it one last time.


    ¡°You did well...¡±


    I looked at the cub and then, the cave. I spotted swords, daggers and axes. There was also some skeletons clenching on it with old armors but I paid them no mind. The weapon would be useful for hunting¡­


    I looked at the cub, while I was thinking, the came to my feet and cuddled around me.


    ¡°Ha¡­. Not really a choice here¡­.¡±


    I opened my bag and put them in.


    ¡°Look like I won¡¯t be alone anymore.¡±


    The cuteness of those small wolf was too much for me. Even if life is hard in the wild I think I will be able to raise them. When they will be big, I will be able to hunt more effectively.


    I brought them to my house and made some round trip between the cave and my house to bring back the weapons, I also skinned the wolf and took the skin of its head to make a hood. It was big enough to cover my head entirely. I have to put it a bit off to see but it would be useful if I face a snow storm.


    The cubs were playing around. I looked at them and it look like I have only one male and five females. Look like I wont have to worry about them.

 intruder [chapter 2 part 1]

    ?My queen, please come this way!?


    A knight in black armor was rushing while carrying a small kid and being followed by a woman and four maids. There was two maids and two butlers. The woman running in front of them wore a black dress but more importantly, had a crown.


    There was something particular about them, all of them had horns, even the black knight helmet had hole for his horn. While they were running, the knight kept on looking behind. Far behind them, he could see a cloud of sand elevating in the air.


    ¡°My queen, we need to hurry!¡±


    The knight went even faster, followed by the scared maids, butlers and queen. His breathing was erratic, carrying the small girl plus his armor while running proved to be a challenge he wished he never had to take.


    As they were approaching the forest, the cloud behind them was getting bigger.


    The queen had a furious look on her face and even though she had been running in her ceremonial dress, she was still breathing as if taking a stroll.


    ¡°Fu***** human, attacking us using a false pretext! How dare they! They even summoned a hero and managed to hid him from the rest of the race¡­¡±


    The maids and butler had grave face. Everything the queen said was true. Until now, all race were in peace but humanity was greedy. They weren¡¯t satisfied with what they had or what was given to them.


    A few weeks ago, humanity declared war to all the race. At first, the elves, beast men, demon and titan were laughing at it but when the hero appeared, they understood why humanity was so confident.


    The hero was young but his power unrivaled. He could manipulate all the element and cause massive damage to their army when they confronted. Seeing this, all the race tried to summon their hero. Most of them succeeded but alas, the demon kind hadn¡¯t enough time to do the summoning. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    As they were the one in the front line, they took most of the damage and because of this, they had to push back the summoning date. The other race used this opportunity to  gain more land so they attacked.


    Because of the attack coming from all front, demon kind had no other choice but back away from the fight. They had lost too much men in the war. What they did not think about was the human¡¯s hero libido. While they were fighting, he saw the demon queen and got charmed by her. Knowing that he could not approach her, he decided to own her. That¡¯s how the situation came to this.


    ¡°We reached it! We need to go further in, they will not dare pursuing us!¡±


    As they finally were in the forest, they relaxed. Their faces showed relief as they went deeper and deeper.


    XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX


    ¡°damnit!¡±


    They had followed the demon for days and when they finally caught up with them, those fellow had disappeared.


    The soldier were uneasy since they were at the entrance of the black forest. No one dared to go in because of the monster inside. In the past, people even sax dragon coming out of this forest. Even with their hero, they did not dare to attack it or even just going in.


    ¡°Follow me!¡±


    A young man among the soldier yelled. He had clothes befitting a mage but his face was furious. The wind was flowing around him, hurting the soldier around him.


    ¡°Sorry hero but we can¡¯t. This forest is too dangerous for our soldier to go and we need to go back to the castle. Even if we went in, we don¡¯t know if they are still alive. Do not forget that aside from the knight, they have no protection.¡±


    The young man frowned and looked at the forest.


    ¡°Tchh, such a waste¡­ I wanted to had her to my collection...¡±


    The soldier felt better knowing that he gave up entering the forest.


    ¡°Very well we will go back. I heard the other race also had summoned people?¡±


    The knight brought his horse next to the hero¡¯s and answered.


    ¡°Yes, since we are now equal in power the kings decided on a meeting between them. Our king cannot go without you.¡±


    ¡°Hmphhh¡­. ¡°


    As they talked, they left the forest, leaving the queen and her follower to their fates.


    XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX


    The wolves are restless¡­ Something entered our territory¡­ Another predator?


    As I was thinking, the wolves began to walk and push me to go with them. Luckily we were in the middle of a hunt when they detected those intruder.


    On another note, i need someone to check on my chapter, if you are interested tell me by review.

 the butler diary

    [second day of the third primal of the first cycle]


    The queen woke us in hurry for the human were coming after us.


    We were a hundred when we left the castle, most of us were maid and butler.


    I was scared, I heard of what happened to demons when they got caught by the other race, a knight told me.


    Luckily, the queen saw our defeat coming so she ordered our people to flee and wait for her to use her magic to tell them the place where we would rebuild our kingdom.


    With this we ran away in the night.


    [fifth day of the third primal of the first cycle]


    It has already been three days, even though we ran as fast as we could, the human kept on pursuing us.


    The senior knight, lady mara, kept us safe during our trip. Her and her knight had it tough, we encountered a lot of monster and the knight suffered a lot of casualty. In three days, our number fell from a hundred to seventy.


    I fear we might not be able to reach the forest alive.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    [twelfth day of the third primal of the first cycle]


    I¡¯m tired, the human ambushed us and almost captured us, if not for the sacrifice of the knight and my fellow fighting butlers and maids.


    Now, it¡¯s just the queen, Lady mara, lydia, octavie, jefrey and me.


    I forgot to write about the queen daughter, Miss leif.


    Until now we took turn taking her but since we don¡¯t know when the human would attack we offered the queen to let lady mara take her daughter so we could fight and buy them time if needed.


    [first day of the fourth primal of the first cycle]


    we finally reached the forest after thirty-two days of travel


    the human weren¡¯t far behind but those coward wouldn¡¯t dare coming after us.


    When we first entered the forest, we felt that something was wrong, all of us.


    Still, we had no other choice, we had to go in.


    [twentieth day of the fourth primal of the first cycle]


    We somehow managed to survive thank to Princess leif.


    Her ability to sense monster allowed us to avoid them or use magic to hide.


    We managed to build a small camp in a small zone devoid of monster.


    I still feel something id wrong here¡­


    [twenty-first day of the fourth primal of the first cycle]


    We finally saw what made us feel so scared.


    The queen used a spell to make our camp invisible and we went to hide behind the walls.


    And they appeared, six fenrirs came out from their hiding.


    As they sniffed around, I felt a cold sweat on my back.


    To say we were surprised and scarred was an understatement but what we saw next surprised us even more.


    A¡­ humanoid came from behind them, he petted one the wolf that wagged its tail at the gesture before looking at our camp. The queen was studying him, so did I.


    The humanoid was big, a good two meter tall, like a titan.


    I couldn¡¯t see his face but I saw a tail on his back and it was moving.


    I thought it was a beast man but I caught a glimpse of his face and it looked human.


    The queen had a shocked face, she must had come to the same conclusion.


    This¡­ man stared at where we were and after a few second that seemed like hours for us, left with the wolf following him.


    I¡¯m not sure of what he is but I sure as hell don¡¯t want to anger him.

 intruder [chapter 2 part 2]

    The wolf brought me to the intruder, there was six people.


    They were¡­ different¡­


    Well, i¡¯m one to talk.


    It has been a few years since I began to take care of the wolf, three years if I remember well. I kinda lost track of time.


    Anyway, back to what happened.


    One day, when I came back from hunting, my whole body began to hurt, I felt like thousand needles were inserted in my skin at the same time.


    Luckily it happened at my hut. The wolf were resteless, poking me with their nuzzles.


    I had to lay down to feel a bit better.


    The wolf were around me, warming me. They grew up well.


    The male is the most rebel one but even then, he obey.


    The female are more¡­ smart, they always manage to do what they want without disobeying.


    The pain persisted for days, I lost conciousness a few time and couldn¡¯t move too much. The wolf were with me most of the time, they would go hunt sometime but there was always one of them with me.


    When I finally woke up without the pain, I felt¡­ different. My body was leaner and my sense were more¡­ developed. I could see more clearly, hear more clearly, everything felt different. I checkd myself and I somehow lost my human¡¯s ears to gain animal¡¯s ears. I also got a tail. My nails were stronger but more importantly, I was stronger.


    When I went out to ¡°test¡± mys new body, the wolf were moving around me happily. I indeed got stronger, not by much but it was still nice. My nail were strong enough to damage a tree. As for my jaw, I could breack a bone while chewing.


    Back to the intruder, one of them looked like a fighter while the other were more like civilian. I don¡¯t remember a lot but could say this with certainty.


    One of them, with black clothes was looking around restlessly. I could smell the fear from him.


    The other also looked like scared but less than him.


    I left them alone when the wolf smelled a prey.


    From time to time, I would go and look what they were doing.


    They built a camp and people are joining them.

    One time, I wanted to talk to them but when I approached, the camp disappeared.


    I could still smell them and hear but I couldn¡¯t see.


    The wolf where a bit restless.


    I don¡¯t know what happened but I won¡¯t risk myself or the wolfs.


    I left the place and went back to the hut.

    [asulf point of view]


    It has been a few cycle since master took us with him.


    Mother often told us about a strong male she met outside the cave. She told us how strong and calm he was.


    She used her mana to teach us everything about our species history and from what I understood, we can change our body shape to our will.


    I often heard her mumble about this man and how she¡¯d like to meet him. I even saw her practice her transformation.


    My sisters were a lot less interested in this than me, bilhild aside.


    We knew we were the last fenrir and they already decided to make me their mate.


    One day, mother came back heavily wounded. She went to hunt outside the forest and a group of human warriors attacked her.


    She tried to heal herself with mana but the wound were to deep. If she died, we would die as well since we were too young to live by ourselves.


    A few days later, we finally met him, the male mother had her eyes on. He was big.


    He patted mother and closed her eyes. It look like he didn¡¯t dislike mother¡­


    We were a bit scared but ultimately, we came out of under mother. When he saw us, he frowned.


    I thought he would kill us but surprisingly, he took us with him.


    My sisters didn¡¯t know but he used mother meat and skin, not that it¡¯s important.


    He treated us very well, slept with us and always made sure we were ok.


    I remember one time when Bilhild went outside and got attacked by a strof.


    He killed the monster with his bar hand! He was like the wariors of old from the memory mother gave us. He was like a fierce god of war trempling on a weakling.


    I think Bilhild fell for him this day.


    As we grew up, he began to teach us hunting. Even if we have the memories, it was different than the real thing.


    He was patient with us ¡­


    I felt like he was my father.


    He played with us, took care of us and most importantly loved us.


    It¡¯s sad mother died before mating with him but since bilhild is fond of him, she will give birth to strong child.


    One day, when we came back from the hunt, he kneeled and held his head. We didn¡¯t understand chat was happening and he was in a lot of pain.


    The pain persisted for days but when he finally recovered, his body had changed.


    He had parts of wolf and was stronger.


    From mother memory, it looks like species tend to mutate around fenrir.


    They will eventually gain feature of their mystical beast.


    Every race came from a mystical beat. Humanity and fenrir are children of the old wolf, the deity with a wolf body.


    Bilhild was delighted to see this, so were I and my sisters.


    Time passed and we reached what the human call adolescence. Our bodies got bigger and stronger.


    Stranger also came to our forest but father didn¡¯t see them as threat and ignored them.


    He made us go again but they used mana to hide themselves.


    I¡¯m sure he knew they were still here but he just grunted and turned back to the hut.


    The time is coming for my sister and I to tell father of our knowledge and the fact that we can transform.


    I don¡¯t know how he will react but i¡¯m sure everything will be fine.

    Asulf : scandinavian man name meaning: god¡¯s wolf warriors


    Bilhild : old french woman name meaning : genttle warrior


    ¡°Few thing are known about the strof. Most of the information are found in old documents or stories.They are often described as beast from hell. They possess two legs covered with scall, a big body covered with fur and four sturdy arms ending with a set of long claws sharp enough to cut a man in two. They do not have a head and their mouths are on their body upper part. How they hunt is a mystery. The only thing sure is that it take fifty strong men to stop one of this beast if we look at the reports and even with that much, the casuality would be vast. Luckily they only live in the prohibited forest and leave it rarely. May the unlucky man that meet one of this beast rest in peace.¡±

    ¡°In our world history, only one thing remain the same with every race : Luderik. We do not know who or what he was. We only know he appeared one day from nowhere. He fought the monster and the fallen gods. Behind him, army of free people from every race. When the last fallen god fell, he disappeared. The races tried to stay together but the human were looked down on and decided to go their own way. Nowadays, thank to the summoning, they stand on equal ground with all the race.¡±

    [Asulf pov]


    Father disappeared!


    I don¡¯t know how it¡¯s even possible. We fell victim to a powerful magic and kept sleeping.


    Only father was unaffected from what I understand.


    When we opened our eyes, father wasn¡¯t on his bed any more.


    Surprised we followed the sent he left behind.


    It led us near the edge of the forest.


    When we reached it, his sent disappeared and no matter how hard we tried, we sere not able to found him.


    Bihild tried to use the magic from our memory but even this was ineffective.


    The place was devastated. Father fought hard.


    The three were broken and hole were made in the ground. I could spot clean cut on the trees.


    Did he fight against human?


    I could smell the blood of stranger on the ground. Who ever it was, they did not capture him without sacrifice.


    My sisters were a bit restless so I took a decision.


    We will wait for him.


    Father is strong, stronger than mother.


    We just have to wait for him.


    Father¡­.


    Bihild cried for one week.

    [Unknown pov ]


    It has been a few weeks since we went to this forest.


    Everything began when the princess ordered us to capture a strong beast for her.


    We presented her a wyvern but she said it was too weak.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    We tried to present her other beast we found in the kingdom but she told us they were too weak.


    When the king heard of our failure to give the princess what she wanted he gave us one last chance to found something that would please the princess.


    Scared for our lives we went to see the hight mage to ask him where we could find such beast.


    After a few days he told us to go to the prohibited forest to find the beast we sought.


    He gave us a scroll and told us only a strong beast would react to it.


    He also told us to bring at least a hundred of the strongest knight if we wanted to succeed in subduing the beast.


    Having finally a clue on where to find the beast, I assembled the best knight of our kingdom.


    I asked the hero for his help but he just told us he had no interest in hunting a beat for a flat princess.


    If he wasn¡¯t so important, I would have beheaded him for disrespect¡­ Not that I could ever do it, he is way to powerful.


    Anyway, when we finally reached the forest, I deployed the knight and used the scroll.


    At first nothing happened but after a few hours, a shadow appeared.


    What looked like a man covered with fur came out of the woods.


    One of the knight, serge, approached him with his sword out to ask him what he was doing here.


    I thought the stranger would just answer but then I saw his eyes, the eyes of a wolf.


    I tried to yell to serge to get back but before I could do anything, the stranger punched right through him.


    Serge fell on the ground lifelessly.


    How could I be so stupid¡­ Monster with humanoid form were already seen before¡­.


    I ordered the knight to attack.


    The beast simply took them down one by one, killing them with his fist or his axe.


    As I was thinking I would die here, a powerful wind hit the beast and pushed it back.


    The hero was hovering behind me.


    He nodded to me and began to throw spells at the beast.


    The beast dodged most of them but still got wounded.


    The hero looked concentrated on the fight.


    It was the first time I saw him so concentrated while fighting.


    As the beast began to weaken, he tried to resist a last time and threw it¡¯s axe at the hero, cutting his left arm.


    The hero screamed and fell on the ground.


    Seeing this, I ordered the knight to subdue the weakened beast while I went and used holy magic to stop the bleeding on the hero.


    The beast, even weakened fought against the knight.


    In the end we had to use the mithril chains to stop him from jerking around in the cage.


    The hero was put in the cart, covered with fur.


    I was happy to find the beast her highness wanted but the fact that the hero got hurt wasn¡¯t worth it¡­


    Back to present, the king is furious. Not only is the hero wounded, but the beast we brought back couldn¡¯t be tamed. He called me in the throne room to give me the next instruction.


    As I was kneeling, he entered in the throne room and sat.


    ¡°Knight alain lionhead, you served us well. You can stand?¡±


    ¡°Your highness?¡±


    ¡°As you know, the beast can¡¯t be tamed. The tamer can¡¯t come near the cage and are too frightened to do anything to it. We have yet to see what is under its hood. Only my daughter seems to know.¡±


    ¡°How could the princess know if no one dared to approach the beast?¡±


    ¡°The beast do not attack kid. The guard saw some young slaves go near it without hearing it growl.


    As for how she know, it let her see under the hood.¡±


    ¡°Does it mean the beast is tamed?¡±


    ¡°You fool, did you listen to me? It is just king to youngling. The moment we set it free, it will either flee or take revenge.¡±


    ¡°What do your highness wish to do?¡±


    ¡°Luckily for you, some ¡­ association heard of it and cantacted us t buy it for a really, really good price.¡±


    ¡°Luckily for me?¡±


    ¡°Yes, If not for the sum they offered for it, I would have you hanged for having the hero hurt and the loss of twenty of our best knight.¡±


    ¡°Thank you your highness! By the way what is the name of this association you highness?¡±


    ¡°Did you ever heard of the red crown ?¡±


    XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX


    ¡°Few things are known about the red crown. The only thing sure is that only the queens or important knight are allowed to be a part of it. We do not know what they do but some thing led us to understand a few thing. For example, slavers swear they sold strong, young, old, weak male to the red crown. The only common point with those slaves? They were handsome from a woman point a view.¡±
