《I was reincarnated as a fox in a strange world》 Chapter 1: The world needs foxes, right? Hello again! Welcome to my new story. I am sure that someone will like it, hopefully. Anyway, it is the first time using tables so I apologize if they are bad and/or boring. Without further ado here is the first chapter. (This does not mean that Re:Exiled Royalty stopped its just slow because I need to rewrite a lot because my memory stick has been ''misplaced'') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is this strange feeling? I could have sworn I had just died... I am small now... There are... foxes? Why are there foxes? There are two foxes a male and a female. How did I know that? Is it a guess? Now there are more foxes... I had the sudden realisation of what had happened. I was reincarnated as a fox. Though I still retain my memories they are very hazy. I at a table, I don''t know by what it was just a sudden great pain in the back of my head then everything stopped and here I am. Hungry... Tired... Sad... I cannot control myself... I would get fed, be left alone and play, for what felt like a year without any input from me. It was all instinctive. By the time I got any input father had died or gone away. We live in a burrow though whenever one of my siblings go towards the exit mother stops them. There is me, mother, two brothers and a sister and I''m male, I think. My family all have an orange and red fur coat whereas I have a black and red coat. Mother would bring back food while we played in the den. When we ate it would occasionally give me boosts in stats like +1 to intelligence, wisdom or strength in a blue window that would go away after I had read it. Mother has been gone for a few hours now, I wonder if she is going to bring back food. After a few minutes of playing with my siblings, there was loud footsteps and vibrations in the earth. We all looked each other and had the same worried look on our faces.(Don''t ask me how that works)

A blue table was in the middle of my view and I had no idea how to make it go away. But as I was thinking of trying to get it away it vanished. It looks like it will go away when I think about it, I wonder if it works the other way too. Back to the matter at hand, there was loud footsteps and mother was gone. To where I don''t know and why is also oblivious to me also. I was frozen in fear of what was to come. Luckily myself and my siblings did not make any moves and was not found so whatever it was just passed by. Thinking back on what had happened before I thought more in depth about the blue screens. In my last world, there was things like them in games, so I tried the normal method of opening them and thought of the word ''status'' and then this showed.

Wait what!? I have no name! I thought of ''Show details'' after I read my status window.
To get a name you must meet the conditions: Become a pet/familiar (Name is not chosen by yourself) Become a mount (Name is not chosen by yourself) Become an elite/boss monster
Why? Just... why? I have to become a pet or an elite, otherwise I am just another fox? Hmm... Maybe its not all that bad. I mean this blessing of the god of evolution should help... But why is there no gender? Do I have to wait until later on in life to find out if I was right? Something else maybe? Mother is back with meat. I''m hungry. After dinner, I went to sleep. I wake up to the sound of more footsteps, this time, they are more near the den. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

I know that there is danger, stupid alert... The footsteps are drawing nearer and nearer the den. As my place to sleep is darker than the rest it should be safer if I just stay there, not moving a muscle. As they footsteps draw near to the point that they are just outside the den they stop. "********* ****** ****** ******* * *** ******" Huh, some language? ¡°**** **** *** **** **** **** *** *** ****** *** **** * *** *¡± After I concentrate on the words I get a screen pop up

Wow, that was quick. ¡°Be careful **** **** be dangerous¡± ¡°Dangerous, ha **** **** beasts¡± ¡°Their *** don''t sell for that much ****** they are a pushover race!¡± ¡° As long as *** *** boss **** it **** fine¡± Ok, I know what they were saying, a bit¡­ Though I cannot move from fear, I can only pray that they will not spot me or do not want to harm me¡­ The ground is getting moved from near the entrance of the den. After about a minute the tree from above us come crashing down to earth revealing mother and the rest of my family, with the exception of me. Mother had just woken up, it was too late, as soon as the tree had fallen over a man had a sword at the ready and had killed her¡­ No time to let her respond from the tree falling over. As soon as the others had noticed what had happened magic lifted them up and pacified them, then the sound of metal against metal followed by the laughter of a few ¡°They sell more *** this, pets who ****** ***** or *** *** ***** are much more in value than just the ****¡± ''They, didn¡¯t see me?'' Before they left they took mother''s carcass and¡­ lifted the tree back in place!!!??? God, what a day¡­ I decided to wait another 20 minutes to make sure they were gone and decided to go hunt because I was hungry. After about 2 minutes I came across a white rabbit-like creature which was roughly half the size of me. The rabbit had a crooked and broken horn, it did not seem all that dangerous to start off with and it already looked half dead. Even though it may have been a bad idea because whatever it was it had probably already killed something so it had more experience than me there. But it is sleeping so I will take my chances. I silently moved towards the creature, when over it I bit at its neck. It woke up as I bit but I had it in my jaws and there was nothing it could do, it died several seconds after I bit it. The rabbit oddly satisfied my hunger even though it was raw, I guess it was a perk of being an animal now. The horn was oddly chewy though after I thought it may taste nice, it wasn¡¯t the best though I could still heat so I did. After I had eaten the rabbit a blue screen popped up
Requirements met to become [Horned Shadow Fox] or [Thorned Shadow Fox] have been met.
[Horned Shadow Fox] A shadow fox which has consumed a horned elite monster can become this monster. Opposed to the normal shadow fox the horned shadow fox has a better affinity to magic. The horned shadow fox has a horn in the middle of its head made from magical fibres.[Thorned Shadow Fox] A shadow fox who has consumed a guardian of nature monster is able to become this monster. The thorned variant of this creature gets a coat ability which will damage a monster which attacks the creature. The thorned shadow fox has spike-like hairs in the body which stand on end when threatened.
I chose the thorned variant because it seemed to be helpful for sleeping safely knowing anything that comes near will get hurt. A second later after choosing the [Thorned Shadow Fox] my body was in great pain. It must be the effects of evolving¡­ After I woke up my body felt stronger. On close inspection, my coat had longer spikes which seemed to go with the flow of my hair but were a purple colour opposed to my coat which was black. It was now dark so I went back to the den and slept. Chapter 2: First Contact Hello again! Yes, my rate of writing is slow and I am sorry for that. But it is still here and it will be updated. It will just take a while. Enjoy the chapter and feel free to comment on how you feel the story is going. Also, if you see any mistakes be sure to point them out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the morning after I had slept, I was woken by the light sounds of footprints in my den. When I went to examine from what the sound originated from there was a few extra creatures. Some small jackals and a lizard looked like they just had woken up and moved a few paces. They had not attacked me nor it looked like they were going to attack me. For this reason I left them alone, it would be lonesome it being just me. After I got up the creatures look as if they were frightened about what they had gotten themselves into. I went to hunt as I was hungry and I didn¡¯t want my home to be destroyed by me trying to fight. In a dense part of the wood lied a creature which on sight I knew would be a challenge to beat if it had seen me and had not already been engaged. The creature stood 8 foot tall with a head of a bull and the body of a man, this was most certainly a Minotaur. It was in the middle of fighting 12 humans, all equipped with some plate mail armour, sword and shield. Even though they had this good protection it would still not die, they were very evenly matched. I decided to wait until the Minotaur was weakened enough for me to kill and the humans weak enough to just want to go home without any trouble. After about 20 minutes or so of solid fighting both parties were breathing heavily, this was my chance. I leaped from the bushes right at the Minotaur¡¯s neck to inflict a deadly blow, the Minotaur did not have time to react As I tore through the neck of the Minotaur I heard fearful screams from the men ¡°A monster from the **** plains should not be here!¡± ¡° I didn¡¯t sign up for this!¡± One of the men stayed, I say one of the men but really she was a female knight with more of a noble look. This one was probably the leader and also the only one who noticed I was not looking to kill them. She looked quite old, about 40 or so, she had blond hair and green eyes She watched as I ate the Minotaur. She said nothing and done nothing, she just sat down next to me. Was she watching out while I eat? Did she want to talk? Or is a non-hostile towards humans monster that hard to find? It took about 20 minutes on the whole to eat the monster, now only the bones and the loincloth are left. As I left the knight said ¡°Thank you¡± and left

It was not starting to get a little dark so I headed home. On the way, I ate a few rabbits and anything else I could find including this small bear looking thing. When I arrived at my den it was pretty dark but not so dark as to go to sleep. So I dug for a while to extend the den. The other animals were still here and they didn¡¯t look hungry or hostile. So I decided to make them their own little areas to sleep in and nudged them towards them. They settled in quite well and went to sleep. When I woke up again I saw that the amount of animals increased again, still only by a few though. And again nothing was hostile. If I took a wild guess it is because this place has already been raided by humans so it won''t be targeted for a while. Again I went out hunting, I ate a lot of bears and this time, I even ate a deer which gave me better-moving speed. And after a while, a lingering feeling of fear jumped on me. I was near a small cave which would prompt me with
You are nearing the entrance of the dungeon [Cave of The Slime King] Would you like to join the dungeon as a monster? Y/N
No, I didn''t want to become a monster for a slime, it would be no fun. At least if I was a pet I might get the chance to go places. But the fear kept even how far I got away, it was like someone or something was watching me, studying, waiting until I mess up. Which I did, I stubbed one of my toes on a rock and let out a small whine when a snake jumped me. I didn¡¯t have any time to react. But thanks to my better judgement I knew just what to do. Nothing. After it jumped at me, it could not manoeuvre through the air, then my spikes came up. The snake only saw doom at the last second, the moment it noticed it was already impaled on my one of my spikes. I shook it off and started to eat it. After I ate all of it a message came up

(Three weeks later~~~) Yet again I woke up, once again I found more creatures and again I hunted. This was life, it isn¡¯t particularly fun but I do what I do to survive. So in the morning, I decided to wander off the normal path and start exploring. See if I could find a settlement, if I could find my brothers and sisters. If I could find something new or something old. Something warm or something cold¡­ In the morning, I set off, south instead of north, to the direction of where I found those humans only a few weeks ago. And surely enough I found something. Or should I say someone. Or a group of people? There was a group of what looked like your bog standard bandits. Leather armour, greatsword, big muscles, small brain, you get the drift. But most note-worthy was the girl. It seemed that the bandits had captured this girl, to the extent of their villainy I know not... though I fear the worst. The girl looked barely 14 years of age to young to get kidnapped and find their way out. To be completely honest when I saw them I knew what I was going to do there and then, for there were only 3 bandits. There could be more hiding in the shrubbery though it may be my only opportunity to at least try and who knows, the gods may deem it fit to reward my efforts. I jumped at the throat of the biggest man, I bit with all my might and nearly decapitated him. Though now the element of surprise was lost I went for their leg, barely evading a knife getting thrown at me. They could now not move and were laying on the ground screaming whilst holding their leg. Now for the last one more of a mage like person, staff, robes. He started chanting though I got to his neck before he could finish. I, in the last few weeks, have become oddly adept at killing. Anything I have encountered so far I could kill with ease. Which only raised more questions. Which were how am I not a boss or at least an elite monster yet? I will have to wait and see I suppose¡­ I went over to finish the man screaming and done so as quickly and painlessly as I could, he had suffered enough already. I ate the corpses of my prey and gained a skill
You have absorbed a skill! You have learned [Tracking (Master)]
That¡¯s helpful but now let''s see if the girl is ok¡­ and not too traumatised. I went over to where the girl is. She is blindfolded and her arms and legs were bound by rope. So no way that she could have seen me. It also seems as if she is unconscious. I checked her pulse to find out whether or not she was dead. She wasn¡¯t dead but she was very cold and very much unconscious. She may die if left untended. Although I would like to heal her, as of now it really takes a toll on me to heal someone else. So I picked her up and started to trace where the bandits had been. It had been 3 hours since I left before the unconscious girl had been saved and we were now nearing a light outside of the forest when the girl became conscious again. I predicted that this may happen so I had left her bounds untouched. Because I am larger than your average wolf right now and her not being much bigger 5 foot she must feel like she is on a bed while on my back. Yes still taking in account of my spikes, hay isn''t much different. My fur is just much softer Another 10 minutes past before I got to the source of the light, it was a stone wall. It was a least 10 feet tall with torches on top. I circled the wall until I found an entrance. I was approaching when I heard a bell ringing and humans shouting. ¡°Sound the alarm!¡± ¡°Knight captain! A ****** walker has come!¡± ¡°Brace for impact!¡± Yeah¡­ Somehow I knew it wasn¡¯t going to be that easy. A squad of 20 soldiers wielding just tower shields blocked the entrance and another 10 stood in between the shields with spears. I didn¡¯t need this¡­ I lied down on the ground, the girl was quite frantic though still stood no threat. The soldiers did though I did not want to show them that I was a potential threat. After 5 minutes of silence, someone finally noticed I had someone on my back. Whispers came from the wall and then a loud female voice ¡°Move aside!¡± From hearing that voice the one on my back cried a muffled cry towards the person. The person came up to me and unbound the girl and was about to get back when I stood up. The woman looked back and it was the female knight. I could rarely forget a face. Chapter 3: If you go down to the woods today, you probably will die~ Hello, its me again. Yay woot-woot. Okay, enough of that. Anyway, Here is the latest chapter. If there are any mistakes be sure to point them out because I am not sure if everything will make sense, I mean I write this at night at about 1 AM soooo... Enjoy!? Also, if your getting annoyed at the Author notes just say and I will stop doing them ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As she saw me her face darkened, she must have known that she was taken by bandits and was now facing the one who slaughtered them all. By now she must have been thinking what kind of monster I was. I just stood there as they walked back. I did not do all of this for nothing. Twenty minutes had passed since they got back and a person started walking towards me. It was a girl dressed in rags holding a small chunk of what looks like a very appetizing meat. She lay the meat down next to me and scurried off back to the town with haste. All of the soldiers and the towns people were looking at me with a sense of fear. I ate the whole thing in one bite and then¡­
[Sense danger] Activated You have been poisoned! Healing effects have stopped the poison!
I would slaughter them all now if I had the choice but I do not know if there are any hero¡¯s or adventurers who are better than the guards in the town. I will not take that chance. At least, I know now to not to come into/avoid human contact. That settles it, after my family was taken away I thought that not all humans could be so cruel. But now I know that most of them are, even if it to something that just saved someone¡¯s life. In the crowd was not just humans though, there was also a good mix of beast kin and elf¡¯s. But they held all one thing in common, they were all fearful of me. To think elf''s and beast kin would look at me the way the humans did¡­ It disgusted me. There was no eye in the crowd which did not hold hostility, even the children and cubs¡­ I walked up to the wall of shields and gave them a threatening growl when a window popped up
Poison successfully has been transferred to glands! You can now spit poison after consuming poison!
As soon as I read that spat the poison onto the shield of one of the guards. It made a small green splatter on the shield. After about a second the splatter had eroded the part of the shield that it had landed on. Leaving the face of the guard dark and more fearful than before, but the face of the girl who gave me the meat was even more so priceless. After the show of power I left. I had not gotten used to fighting anything other than other animals so far and I had no element of surprise so it would be hard to kill the strongest ones with ease. I started to head back home. I killed anything which came towards my position be it birds, lizards, dogs, cats, anything. It would die in one fowl swoop. I walked through the night and killed some insects, owls, and other nightlife. Everything I killed did not go to waste though, every last bit of it was eaten, but the bones of course! Ha ha ha.(Author note: Oooo scary~~) It had become day by the time I had reached home. All I wanted to do then was sleep. After killing about 100 or so creatures which confronted me, anyone would be tired right? So I took the chance and slept. Oh, how good I slept! Nothing awoke me and by the time I awoke it was dawn, of course not of the same day. Even that is not the best of it though. I also awoke to

Ooo another rare? I guess I did kill a lot of things yesterday¡­ I don¡¯t think I need to eat today hahaha¡­ Today I think I will head in the opposite direction to the town today. I start to walk towards a mountain to find a cave to explore or something along those lines. Surely enough I did find something. I saw a grand entrance to a cave, a dungeon I guess. As I stood outside of the entrance I heard noises. Muffled voices. ¡°I''m a little sad we didn¡¯t get a big haul today¡± Said a soft feminine voice ¡°What did you think we would get tear, a basilisk tooth?¡± Said a booming male voice ¡°No, at least, I wanted something better than a ton of monster meat¡­ Just something interesting you know? Maybe a spell book!¡± ¡°As of our agreement, I would keep all of the magic related items. If we did not acquire, one I am not obligated to protect you on the way back¡± Said a female voice which seemed devoid of almost all emotion. ¡°HEY! You do know we could have you killed! If we told anyone that you''re a necromancer it would be bad for you!¡± Said the Male again ¡°Humpf¡± With every word they got closer¡­ ¡°Maybe we would have gotten better gear if the Archpriest wasn¡¯t training¡± ¡°We couldn¡¯t have gotten past the second level, you buffoon¡± ...Until I heard their footsteps They walked to the entrance of the cave in a group of 3, a human warrior wielding a tower shield and a long sword while being plated in chain-mail armor. A female cat beast kin wearing leather armor wielding two daggers. Lastly, a dark hooded figure with lavender coloured hands holding a large book which was most likely a grimoire. As I looked at two of them I recognized them, the warrior and cat I remember from the crowd. But the lavender-skinned one¡­ they were not in the crowd. To that one, I held no grudge against but the other two. It was my chance, they would die today or I would die trying. I hid behind a rock at the entrance of the cave to lay in wait. Step. Step. Step¡­ The hooded figure was at the back while the warrior was most near me. I jumped and aimed my claws and teeth at his head for it was the only bit not guarded, if not taken out first he may become problematic. The man was standing up, screaming. Taking a chunk out of his neck, it would be the most appropriate response. As for the girl, well, she tried to jump me while I was on the warriors back. You can imagine how that ended, impaled, on a spike, screaming, wanting to die. I was happy to oblige. The warrior died of blood loss and the rouge of suffocation.(Author note: They all died of death of course (''3'').) After I removed their armor and shoved it into the dungeon it went. A darkness surrounded the loot and it was gone in a matter of seconds. Well if it helps they can have it, whoever it is. I looked back at the hooded figure and we stared at each other for about 3 seconds. She curtseyed and left before I ate the corpses of the 2 people with glee. The warrior gave me 20 endurance and the rouge gave me 30 agility. I surveyed the surrounded area on the stone of which I hid behind earlier and before I set off, a voice sounded in my head. Oh god, what was that... Chapter 4: Always look on the bright side of life~ Hello hello hello. Yet again another chapter, another one should be expected soon because I''m in the middle of writing it now and so as soon as I have written it I will post it. Comment if you want to see more, its what makes me want to write (That and boredom), anyways. Enjoy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At least it is polite. But now let''s get to the point of what it wants. How do I speak anyway? I try to speak but if I try then a growling or howl comes out instead of a voice. Wow, helpful. That''s what a dungeon needs I suppose. Oh, hey I helped someone or something, I guess? I speak the language that comes naturally to me but in reality, it was just a fox howling at a cave. Any passers-by may have thought that a big fox was going mad. Though I still spoke ¡°Glad to be of service¡± I howled Did he just say void? ¡°I regret to inform you I have no idea what you''re on about. You see I did not come from the void and was unaware of any Demon Lords existence.¡± I listen to the dungeon go on and on about the place called the ''void'' it seems to be this place''s hell but is inhabited by demons which eat the souls of the dead and you can actually visit. Only monsters can visit though because any *cough cough* higher being will be killed on sight and be fed to the shadow monsters there which are kind of like the guardian deities for demons, normally over egotistical, never go out unless there is a conquest. Their conquest, this time is called Flight of the Shadow Devil because they took out a lot of their deities with them. The dungeon also explained how the demons class system works. Unlike the humans nobility system where you have to be born in, the demons have a tournament every 5 years where demons spanning the void come together and fight for a place in the army, the most elite soldiers are made nobility and some are placed as a general in the army which are controlled by 4 ''lords'' and 1 royal demon. Royal demons are extremely rare for they have the ability to conjure 30 shadow monsters and even the lords can only make half of that. Even the lords and the royalty is chosen by skill and could be taken from their families if uncooperative. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Ehh.. That¡¯s not good. < Also you can get summoned by a lot of mages which will summon you in a cage and torture you in a cage until you are on the brim of dying.

Yay! WAIT! Isn''t Vixen a girls name? Ehhhhh¡­ It''s better than [???] I guess I expressed my gratitude to the dungeon and started to walk away. As I walked away the dungeon had a slight laugh which I thought was a bit peculiar. But then I remembered about my earlier ability. I tried my forms Human Male, Human Female, Male Horned Rabbit, Female Beetle, Female Snake, Alpha Male Wolf, Male Wolf, Female Wolf, Male Brown Bear Cub and Female Minotaur. All seem to have their ups and downs and their own stats, but more importantly ''THE MINOTAUR WAS A FREAKING GIRL!?''

Remember to comment your thoughts of the story and tell me about any mistakes. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As I finished my checking transformations I felt a strange bout of magic surround me¡­ I felt a strange call to a patch of grassland inside the forest when I got there a few other creatures were there. Snakes, rabbits, wolves, among a few other things, would everything run if I got there in this state? I decided to turn into my snake form to proceed without scaring everything away. We were all drawn to this place, we were not leaving soon. Then in a blink of an eye something was gone¡­ I don¡¯t mind all that much¡­ Its odd, this drawing to this place¡­ Then in an instant half of the others were gone. Then a white light surrounded me before I got transported to¡­ a courtyard? In the courtyard were young humans ranging from about 12 ¨C 16 years with one man who looked about 40. They all wore a blue cloak with an emblem on the upper part near their shoulders, the emblem depicted an ouroboros and was made with yellow thread. From the man who was 40, I felt a great pressure which was on me in my weakened state and all of the other animals. All of the creatures were in the courtyard and were getting approached by very hesitant humans. This is when it hit me, I realised that I was summoned¡­ That dungeon told me they were going to half kill us¡­ maybe that¡¯s why he was laughing, he didn''t tell the truth. I could not change form because of the pressure the¡­ teacher or maybe the attendant? I don¡¯t know but he seems like he works in this, what looks to be a school. I was just a small green snake to not cause the fear of the other animals and now I am hardly noticed. The older pupils went for things like wolves and bear cubs while the younger pupils stayed with the bunnies. There were three snakes overall including myself another one was a white and pink colour roughly around my size. The last one was black and red, it was three times the size of me, it could easily ingest half of one of the young humans if it wanted. Us snakes sat together for we all knew that these people could be potentially dangerous. Then one of the people who was aged around 14 followed by two girls who were around his age came towards us in a fearful, slightly riled manner and the girls hid behind him with a more noticeably scared look. There was an elf with slightly pink tips on her long white hair like she had dyed it. She had a friendly face and looked to be the sort of person to be easily fooled. The other girl was a human, noticeably shorter than both the others she is with short black hair which swayed off to the right of her face. Last but not least the human boy was just a little smaller than the elf he had blond hair and blue eyes. In short he was a pretty boy, the kind all women swoon over, he didn''t have a scar on his body as far as I am concerned. The boy went over to the black and red snake as soon as he looked at us all. The elf''s face lit up as soon as she saw the snake who matched her hair, her face lit up and instantly jumped to it to hug it. The human girl was still shaking, does she not like snakes? Is she afraid I will bite her? What? Then something odd happened, she regained her composure and bowed to me before holding her hand out and laying it on the ground so I may get up, I presume. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ''At least this one is polite'' When I got on her hand she lifted me up. I was literally a centimetre smaller than her hand. We both stared at each other for about 10 seconds before she started to move. She was going towards the teacher?¡­. Why? I don''t like him¡­ As she went towards him I started to face the same way. When we got to the teacher she had questions ¡°Sir, are you sure this snake is good enough for a familiar?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± The teacher was looking away at the other pupils before looking at the girl with her question and then me. He turned so he could see me better. ¡° Hmmm¡­ Yes, the Forest Princess Snake, fast, agile, rare and from what I remember, very egotistical. Please, my girl, do tell how you got her onto your hand.¡± ¡°Wait, it''s a girl?¡± She looked at me with a confused expression. ¡°How did you tell?¡± She proceeded ¡°Ha ha, years of expertise my girl, years of expertise.¡± He said with a slightly proud tone of voice ¡°Anyway, I just did what you would do to greet a Griffin and bowed politely and gave my hand¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Not needed for snakes not to bite your head off but welcome, I suppose.¡± He said ¡°Are you ready my girl?¡± The girl nodded, to that the man started chanting while I was in a daze trying to comprehend what he was saying. Not long after came a message
You have been forced into a Familliarship with [Elizabeth GhostPetal III] Emotions will be shared telepathically with your owner Familliarship can only be expelled from your owner lethally attacking you.
The girl was a bit disappointed that she did not get to name me. How do I know that you ask? I felt it she was disappointed but did not mind my name all that much though she found it confusing. The rest finished 10 minutes after we had, the next one who finished was a pale boy who chose a wolf as a familiar. Then it was a girl with a bunny, white with red eyes¡­ An evil creature¡­ Horrible stuff. Now that everyone had their familiar the owners and ourselves were told to go to the ''testing facility'' which was a big building with no windows made from a stone, made in a cube. Once we were in there we were all put in a room with a window which seemed to be a very hard glass, the window looked out at some training dummies, targets on the wall and large pieces of stone and marble. There was also a basin of water and some braziers full of coal and fire. The teacher started speaking to explain the situation ¡° Now you all have you familiars it is time to test all of you to see which class you would be most fitted to join and at what grade you are at.¡± ¡°The potential sages will go into class A and then ranking down from there until class E where you do no more than light a bit on kindling¡± Without further ado, he went through the register calling out people''s names to be tested, one by one... Chapter 6: Its magic you know, never believe its not so Hello again, for the second time today. So, I got disconnected from the Blade & Soul servers and then was very bored because I couldn''t be bothered to put it back on again. So that''s why this is here. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The teacher called out the first pupil to test out their strength. ¡°Silver ProudEar, please enter the Training hall with your familiar, Buttercup¡± An elf with white hair and a bear stepped into the training grounds, bowed at the window and waited for instructions ¡°Show me the best you have!¡± The teacher said enthusiastically In the blink of an eye, the fire was gone and the stone was cut into 4 pieces while the marble had a hole in it which was dripping wet.(Author note: Sexual innuendo not intended) In a flash so many things had happened my and Lizzy were astonished by this feat of strength. On closer inspection the water in the basin was gone and near the marble. It took the teacher a short while to figure out that there were small bits of coal in the training dummies and targets. She came back in the room with a high and mighty mentality, one that says ''Bow down to me peasant for you shall never be on my level. Never! Now go away before my mood worsens'' You know despicable people who have no real friends. ¡°Yes, well done. It''s either B or A class for you, depending on how well the rest do.¡± Her face grimaced as soon as she heard that she wouldn¡¯t instantly be placed at the top and sat down next to us in a most foul mood. ~ A few hours later ~ Luckily none of the familiars had to do anything. I wouldn¡¯t want my cover to be blown this quickly, I would rather that I didn¡¯t have to fight to get out. Anyway who knows, I may learn something about magic. We are the last ones to go. Only about 3 other people done as good as Silver they were Crawford FlameFace who pretty much set the whole building on fire, that¡¯s the guy with the red and black snake. Lynessa WaterSeed who pretty much flooded the whole place. Then lastly Amber Beaumont who was the elf with the pink and white hair, she literally turned the hall into a royal looking garden. Now it was Lizzy''s go when we got out of the door she started to chant and every around us became black, slowly but surely the darkness consumed everything. Even her, she and her clothes became black with a pair of glowing purple horns out of her head. After she covered the hall in complete darkness things were eroding away. Once all the objects in the hall had gone Lizzy cast a holy purification spell on herself. All the darkness condensed into a single ball. She threw it back onto the ground and everything reappeared on a pile where the ball was thrown. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. We walked back into the room and the teacher said ¡°Hohoho matter magic, demonology and purification powers! You''re going to be in the A class¡± Lizzy felt happy at the teachers words with a great sense of accomplishment. ¡°Now, everyone, go outside and go to your respected dorm rooms. Everyone but Silver, Crawford, Lynessa, Amber and Elizabeth that is¡± All the others left in a well-mannered sense of things, the only ones who looked slightly disheartened were the ones who got put into class E ¡° Now for you five, you will be put into your own respective dorm rooms, your familiars will also have their own rooms and you will have no need of having roommates.¡± The man clicked his fingers and we were in a hallway and our owners had maps in their hands. I got onto Lizzy''s shoulder to look at the map. It wasn¡¯t the hardest map to remember for it was all in a square with the elite dormitories connecting to it. That was where we were. The teacher led them to their rooms then to ours. Our rooms were luxurious but were the size only to fit a halfling instead of an entire human. We got a good look at the main entrance which had a path lead to it, the school seems to be located in the middle of a massive city. I did not feel tired and there was nothing to do for the rest of the day for we had only just enrolled so I decided to go into town. Being small has its upsides, no one noticed me exit the building. After leaving the building I went to where the lavatories were and entered the girls room to ''change''. I pondered of turning into the human male I have but it would be bad if a man with an extreme body builder physique walked out of a magic school so I decided against it. Once I ''changed'', I was a young woman around 5''5 dressed as a Gothic Lolita with red frills (Yes my fur changes into clothes, useful right?) I looked ghostly pale and had black flowing hair which reached down to my waist. I''m not sure how but in the mirror it seems like my fur had also changed into cosmetics for I had black makeup on my face and nails. I exited the toilet as a girl was looking frantically for something, on closer inspection it was just Lizzy trying to find me but I had no interest in her at the moment. I wanted to see the city. I got to the school gates which were fit for a castle, it had a moat and everything. The guards had seen me coming and started to put the drawbridge down so I may go into town.
I am just going to say, I''m not much of an artist ( at all ) so if anyone wants to make a cover please do so and pm me, if there is more than 1 suitable cover a poll will be up to decide. Thank you Chapter 7: Cafe de Mortem Hi guys! Anyway, I will probably be trying to add a chapter every week ''trying'' being the key word. If I write a chapter it will also be out on the same day it is finished. Remember to comment your thoughts on the story and, as always, enjoy!
The path which connects the school to the rest of the city happens to be a kind of market which splits around a fountain to then merge back together and leading further away from the school. The city was mainly made out of stone and wood; there was not much glass and windows were just boards of wood on hinges. Oddly enough there does not seem to be any homeless, that either means that there are extremely poor slums or slavery, lets hope its not the latter. We wouldn¡¯t want someone dead because they thought they could harm a pale and delicate ''girl''. No, that would be a great shame. On walking by, many of the jewellery stands'' owners face''s lit up as they tried to sell me things if I had any money I would have bought something. There were rings and necklaces among various other things all with their own unique design. One I especially liked was a purple necklace, granted they only reason I like it was because the shop keeper said it had the power to detect magic affinities of different monsters, which I found quite to be intriguing. After a while of just taking in the city, I was just walking absent-mindedly at how these creatures can live their lives like this, then scrutinise and neglect '' monsters'' they are the real monsters. But in their own little way, they have their charm about them when you walk among them. As I was walking I was stopped, not rudely mind you. It was a tall man with short black hair wearing a tail coat with white gloves on. He looked to be the cleanest person in this city. ¡°Madam, you looked famished, how about you go to our caf¨¦ just over there.¡± He pointed to a small yet somewhat posh establishment about 10 ft away I was quite peckish and could eat something but unfortunately, I had no money with me. ¡°Ah, oh I am sorry to waste your time, I have no money right now,¡± I said faintly depressed ¡°Ah, well¡­ there could be a way we could get around that.¡± This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. I looked at him in a way to make him think about what he had just said. Luckily he got it only after about a second or two. ¡°No! No! No! Not that!¡­ It''s just that the caf¨¦ hasn''t had many customers of late so if they saw a noble or at least a noble looking woman walk in they will think it''s a good caf¨¦. So any expenses are paid for.¡± ¡°Well, I am a bit hungry...¡± ¡°Great! Let''s go¡± He quickly grabbed my arm in joy and tries to pull me towards the caf¨¦. Much to his surprise I did not budge. This form is weak but only compared to my actual form, the only weak one is the beetle. He looked at me with a terrified face which I could only respond with a light smile, which may or may not have worsened his mood. When I got in the place was decorated with lavish purple frills lining the chairs, tables, curtains etc¡­ I was greeted by 3 men also in a tail coat and then it clicked, this was a butler caf¨¦. There was a few women in the caf¨¦, an elven girl, a beast kin girl and another elven girl. All of the girls look like they were from noble birth. A waiter came to ask me my order, I asked for something relatively simple, a sandwich. It was the only thing that they offered that I recognised, they gave no description of what was in the meal. Some more girls were led in here at sat down on tables alone, some noble and some looked more like the common people. They ordered their things and then we were told when everything would be prepared. ¡°Ladies, your food will be prepared and will all be brought out simultaneously for your pleasure.¡± said the butler with a warming grin on his face. About 20 minutes later about 7 butlers came out with silver trays and platters containing wondrous looking foods. Not like any of the other girls actually cared about the food, they cared about the guys. The ''butlers'' came to sit with girls, to feed them¡­ Am I the only one who thinks the manager is a perverted girl fulfilling her fantasies? The man who led me inside came to sat down, he knows I don¡¯t want to be fed so he let me get to eating. Chapter 8: Cafe de Rigor Mortis Hi, so here is a chapter. Comment your thoughts on the story and help by pointing out any mistakes thank you. Enjoy!
Something seems a bit off about this place¡­ I take a bite of the sandwich to not look suspicious¡­ I take another bite and swallow¡­ The food tastes odd¡­ I hear a noise coming from another table over. It was a girl, she was sleeping. Then another. Then another.
Foreign bodies cannot be changed to hold poison glands
Sshhhhhiiii¡­ *zzzz* I woke up in a dark, decrypted place lined with bricks of stone. I heard screams and moans of girls¡­ In front of me was the butler standing tall and proud like he had just caught a large trout while I was in shackles. ¡°Wake up, you piece of trash!¡± The butler kicked my side with a force that would crush someone who is normals'' rib-cage, though as you know, I''m not normal. It still hurt a bit but not bone-breakingly bad. ¡°Now that you''re awake, you will be mine for the night. Be a good little bitch and you won''t end up dead, kay?¡± ¡°I will be your god, you may only worship me. Otherwise your god may have a slight slip of hand¡­¡± He thinks he can do that to me¡­ pfft funny. It''s not like anyone will care if I kill them, right? ¡°Hehehehe¡± ¡°What!? What are you laughing at you filth!?¡± ¡°Have you ever toyed with a demon before?... Let alone a person straight up? Hahahaha¡± A dark mist surrounds me as I turn back into my fox form while laughing; my laughing turns ever so much more demonic as every second passes until I am back in my original form. ¡°If you run it will be all the more fun¡± That did more of an effect than I had thought! He pissed himself! Ewww¡­ You can smell it¡­ One of the bad things about being a fox¡­ He then fainted¡­ I also seemed to have gained a demonic human language voice for my fox, which is good. ¡°Aww, that''s no fun...¡± On the other hand, it could be a barrel of fun¡­ He is not any threat as of right now. There were about 4 more alive criminals, Looks like the beast kin fought back greatly, she was dead on the floor next to 3 men all with their arms ripped from their shoulders. Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. There was a man making his way with one of the elves in front of a mirror, all while she was crying. The other 3 surrounded a commoner. The other commoners seem to have lost their mind, pitiful even for these creatures. Firstly I need that mirror. There are people in the way, oh no, I am so sad that they are in my way¡­ I guess I will have to kill them... all. What a shame but it is the only way. Heheheh I sneak up behind one of the 3 men and jumped at his shoulder, clasping my jaw down I heard a great scream, a thud and then there was no resistance against my jaw. I had ripped his arm off; he lay there screaming while the other two looked at me as if they had just seen a ghost. ¡°Oh, you think that is bad? Look around at what you done! You have not atoned yet...¡± A noise of a door came from upstairs ¡°More? Good.¡± The two men had fainted from seeing their friend writhe in pain. The man in front of the mirror had dropped the woman and was now making his way over here in a fit of rage. One swoop of my claws and his blood painted the wall crimson. A quick death, more luck than his friend who is still leaking his blood all over the floor; it seems like it will never stop. The other three I slit their throat because of my annoyance at them fainting. The room is silent until a group of footsteps could be heard coming from some stairs. More fun¡­ I hope. It seems like a small group of people by the judging of the amount of footsteps. The first to emerge was a guard, so was the second, third and fourth and the last was¡­ Elizabeth¡­ Now I feel it... she is very frantic. When they saw me the guards, clad in platemail, they raised their tower shields and started to shout. ¡°BEGONE FOUL DEMON, BACK TO WHENCE YOU CAME.¡± ¡°THOU SHALT NOT HARM ANY OF THESE FINE WOMEN MORE THAN THOU ALREADY HAS¡± Well, this is going to be a bit annoying to get out of. The only thing I can think of is to go to jail or whatever system they have here and then sneak out. I just sit down all while the guards eyes are fixated on me. I needed to keep calm so Elizabeth doesn¡¯t find out. The guards put a collar around my neck and we all started to walk out, the guards nor Elizabeth looked at me after that. Life updates Hello! Sorry I have not been uploading as of late for I have been doing exams and going to prom and the likes so haven''t had all that much time to write. But the bad thing is my computer has gone and gotten broke So there won''t be a chapter for a while either. (All typos in this update I will blame on phone lag/autocorrect) Chapter 9: The Short Escape Outside was a decent number of guards each donning a different crest. Looking for the nobility maybe? Either way, it matters to me little for I am in chains and on a road that could nearly be described as a ghost town in its own right. I mean it is rather large and could easily be the main road for a small settlement. Has an evacuation been ordered? There seems to be too few people on the road... It feels a creepy... Seriously other than Lizzy, the guards and I there seems to be around two other people on the street. Are we in a noble district or just a deserted one? The houses look decently plain though... Needless to say though, it is quite convenient to me who want limited people to see what''s about to happen. Time for my escape! Normal collar means no pesky runes, yay! I turn to my smallest form, The Beetle! A large sound of iron hitting stone comes in less than a second later. Needless there was a confusion between the group and a sense of panic. Words along the lines of ¡°How could this happen?¡± and ¡°What just happened?¡± float around the group as one of the slightly shinier armored guards finally gets a grip on what''s happened and is visibly paled by it.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Mr. Shiny Guard whispers to himself ¡°This could be bad¡± Mr Shiny Guard without hesitation turns to Elizabeth and says ¡°Madam, I am sorry for the inconvenience but I require you to meet with the guard captain as an eye witness of what just happened...¡± ¡°Hmm? I will say its odd but the guard captain, is that really necessary?¡± ¡°Yes, in the account of one of the girls not confessing to conjuring the creature and it being a simple case of being too far away then more than just a guards word is needed.¡± ¡°Okay, but where do we meet them?¡± ¡°We will go to a nearby tavern and we will get one of the guards to shed their armor then run to get the captain as to not waste your time.¡± Mr Shiny Guard reassembled the other guards and told them the situation and said that a volunteer would be needed to run an urgent errand. In half a minute the group was moving again up the road. I follow behind watching the group make its way towards a tavern but a decent distance away, even if I am a bug I can still be seen. The other guards were trying to remember if the nearest tavern was any good by asking the others they came to a mutual agreement. Yes. The tavern was not bad and so none of them wanted to run the errand it seems. They started to play a version of Rock, Paper, Scissors from what I can guess is called Teacher, Hero, Demon King. The Demon King not being able to defeat the Hero? Just shows you how mature humanity is... As the other guards were deciding who the errand boy would be, Mr Shiny Guard was being strangely apologetic to Lizzy... Wait, don''t tell me... He likes her. Sure she is good looking but try to play in your own field. I mean your what, 50 and you like someone who has probably still got their innocence intact (If you don''t know what that means then you are probably are not old enough to be here) then again for humans it may be completely fine but I feel a little disgusted by the thought...
