《The One even Gods will fear》


 Chapter 1.

    Our hero who doesn''t even have a proper name... Was betrayed countless times. He was simply used as a tool for power by many people... When he thought he  got rid of one another popped up. He finally decided to end it. He jumped straight off a cliff head first. He had no regrets. Why should he? The one who was betrayed. The one who was left behind. Who was used as a sacrifice.


    When he landed with the rocks he died instantly. The sharp rocks below the cliff pierced his brain,stomach,nether regions and both legs. His entire body was... Pierced... With rocks.


    His life was ended right there.


    But his soul? The story of his soul doesn''t end there.


    He thought he was going to wander in a void forever... Until a goddess appeared.


    Goddess: "Hmm... You certainly are an interesting one. You embrace the void instead of trying to escape to the light... Only a few do that. You... I like you. You shall be reincarnated. I won''t tell you what you will be reincarnated as. But know this... I grant you a small gift. Just as a small.. Favour... From me. I feel the hate you have for gods. I know that if you were in this void THEY... Would find you and you would overthrow us... This is going to be interesting!"


    MC: "Heh... Reincarnation... Seems fun. Do i need to know anything?"


    Goddess: "Yes... DESTROY."


    MC: "What do you-"


    He gets teleported off before he could finish his sentence... He feels... That he has no body... He can see perfectly in the darkness he is surrounded in... But he has no body. He can feel a strange liquid around his... Soul. He is in a forest. He wanders around until he finds something interesting... A slave convoy.


    MC: "By the looks of things... A slave convoy... Medieval weapons and... Magic... I can see the magic power ooze from the magicians... And it feels like I can use it too... Perfect. I''ll do as the goddess said. DESTROY the ones who control the slaves.. Hehehehhee"


    Not soon after that... Screams were heard. Blood was spilled. Bones were shattered... And heads were rolling. The head of the convoy stopped and made everybody get into defensive positions. They tried to kill the ghost... But their material spears went through it.


    Priests and mages used light and other elements to kill him. Useless. He didn''t know why he was immune to light... He was an unholy ghost. He should''ve died. But he didn''t care. He moved forward, killing everything what stood in his path except the slaves. Until the aristocrat who led the convoy appeared.


    Aristocrat: "You filthy ghost! Dissapear! You aren''t fit to see me! You are just filthy! I bet you were a commoner! Shoo!"


    MC: "Hehe... A small little fat piggy... Makes for good target practice... Hehehehe...."


    The guards looked in horror as this murderous rampaging ghost came towards them... They finally realized what he was using... Darkness... The shadows... He was controlling shadows..


    He struck down a soldier... But that soldier said something unexpected...


    Soldier: "For a lvl 20 like me... To be taken down by a lvl 1 ghost... Damn it... Damn it all to hell!"


    MC : "Levels...? No time to think. Must kill. Save slaves. Save them from bad fate. Kill fat pigs and their soldiers."


    He continued on his massacare. Until he reaced the artisocrat... He made very sure that the aristocrat WILL NOT have a swift death. First he cut down the aristocrat''s horse. It died in a matter of seconds.


    Then he slowly started cutting off each and every finger of the aristocrat while cutting off his toes aswell. The slaves looked in fear as this ghost murdered everything...


    If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.The Aristocrat couldn''t take it anymore and collapsed and died... The ghost suddenly turned towards the carriages... The slaves thought that he would kill them. But he opened the cages... He cut open the cages he couldn''t find keys for... The slaves didn''t know what his objective was but they didn''t want to find out... So the moment their cage opened they ran.


    All but one girl. Her mother and father screamed for her to come. But she just stood there and looked at me.


    Girl: "Thank you... For saving us..."


    The girl tried to kiss my cheek but fell through my ghostly body.


    MC: "It''s nothing... I just feel the need to save slaves... And kill all the aristocrats and the ones serving them... Hehehehehe"


    Girl: "What is your name...?"


    MC: "I have none."


    Girl: "I''ll call you Rath... It''s like Wrath but only without the W. Nice name isn''t it Rath?"


    The girl soon leaves because her mother and father kept shouting for her.


    Rath: "Rath... Doesn''t sound bad... I''ll just continue killing... Slave convoys... I''ll kill anything in my path... I''ll save those who are being used wrongly."


    Rath wandered around afture that for days... And days... An adventurer band came through the forest he was wandering in.


    Adventurer #1: "Have you heard about that incident? About the ghost named Rath?"


    Adventurer #2: "Yeah. Must''ve been a high-leveled one to clear out that aristocrat''s slave convoy..."


    Adventurer #3: "Don''t want to meet him here... We are going through the forest he is in aren''t we..."


    Adventurer #1: "Yup... Let''s go quickly before we meet him..."


    Rath: "So rumours about me are already spreading... But what was that about levels... The soldier mentioned that too... Let me try concentrating on something like... A screen?"


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Rath</td></tr><tr><td>Class</td><td>Unknown</td></tr><tr><td>Level</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>Species</td><td>Ghost</td></tr><tr><td>Skills</td><td>Absoloute Control</td></tr><tr><td>Titles</td><td>"The Ghost of the Woods"</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Rath: "Absoloute... Control? What''s that?"


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Absoloute Control lvl 1</td></tr><tr><td>Absoloute control gives the user of this skill Absoloute Control over selected living being or thing.


    For the ghost called "Rath" this skill has been created.


    It gives him at lvl 1 control over shadows. Lvl 2 control over ???</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Rath: "Ahh... The info isn''t good enough... Created for me? Must be the gift given to me by the goddess... Seems I can control shadows... Let me check my stats."


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Stats</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Strength</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Intellect</td><td>100</td></tr><tr><td>Agility</td><td>100</td></tr><tr><td>Magical Power</td><td>Infinite</td></tr></tbody></table>


    Rath: "Whoa! My magical power is off the roof! My strength is 0... Well... That was to be expected.  I am a ghost and only use shadows to do the heavy lifting for now."


    Rath wandered around the forest for a while again... But he found another slave convoy... What shall he do with this one?


    We shall find that out... Next time...


    --------


    Creator''s note - I am VERY inexperinced with tables so forgive me for horrible tables...

 Chapter 2.

    Rath found another slave convoy... It was twice the size and seemed twice as strong as the last one...


    But he saw no aristocrat.


    Rath: "Must be a regular slave convoy. Let me just.... Hehehehehehhe KILL."


    Rath jumped infront of the convoy and looked at them.


    Rath had no shape... It was more like his shape was... Spiky. His entire body was spiky and it reached the ground. It looked like a blanket was thrown over somebody but he was a real ghost... He had 2 red eyes what shined in the night.


    Rath used the shadows to create scythes,spears,swords and axes. He walked towards it and smiled.


    Rath: "Die for me will ya? It won''t hurt you so... Just... Dissapear. Do you agree? Convoy?"


    Convoy Leader: "What do you mean... Are you the so-called Ghost of the Woods Rath? You cannot kill all of us!"


    Rath: "Want to test that... Theory? Are you very sure...? You want to?"


    Convoy Leader: "Not.. Completely... RUN BOYS RUN! IT''S RATH!"


    The convoy starts to turn around leaving the carriages with the slaves in the middle of the road and they all start running away.


    Rath in hot pursuit killing everybody his scythe reached. Upcourse he had planned for their escape so... They all fell into his trap.


    He had commanded some of the shadows under his control to set up spears behind them. They ran straight into the spears and tried to run back... But Rath was already slashing them into small pieces.


    Blood was spilled. Heads were rolling. Limbs were cut off. Another convoy was destroyed and slaves saved.


    The slaves thanked Rath and left...


    Rath kept exploring the forest he was in... There was only one path through this forest. And that was the path he guarded.


    The forest was too dense for anything to get through. And it was also dangerous. Many venomous snakes were slithering around and venomous spiders were lurking in the wood. There were also beasts what were looking over the woods.


    So basically... The only chance of survival was to beg for Rath''s mercy to get through.


    After waiting for a few days another adventurer band came through at day time.


    Rath approached them. The band was shocked. Ghosts shouldn''t be roaming around during day-time. It hurts them. But Rath... Seemed to ignore that. He seemed like the sun did nothing to him.


    Adventurer #1: "Oh... Rath... Well this is bad..."


    Adventurer #2: "No shit this is bad. It''s THE  Rath. We''re lucky we ain''t people who are slavers. We would be instantly killed."


    If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Rath: "Hello... Adventurers..."


    Adventurer #1: "Holy mother of gods! Rath spoke!"


    Adventurer #3: "Hello Rath... What do you want from us?"


    Rath: "Information."


    Adventurers #1-3: "Information!?"


    Rath: "Yes. Information. About this world."


    Adventurer #3: "Oh this world... This world has no name. We just call it The World. You know you could just pull up the information tab. It gives you all the Info about this world... But may we pass?"


    Rath: "Ok... Thanks. You may pass."


    The adventurers leave.


    Rath: "Information... Tab?"


    Rath opens his menu and sees a question mark. He presses it.


    A menu opens. (Creator''s note - Couldn''t create any tables due to the 2.5 version being maintenanced or something so i thought of a way around...)


    <ol type="$type"></li>


    <li> The world</li>


    <li>The Menu


    </li></ol>


    There were 2 options. He pressed the first.


    The World - This world has no name. Compared to earth aka the plane you came from it is 3x bigger. There are many different races and species of various beings and monsters. This world has an RPG setting you could call it.


    Rath: "Oh... 3x bigger? Many different races and species? RPG setting... Hmm..."


    He opens his menu where his class was at. His class was unknown.


    Rath: "Hmm... My class is unknown?"


    Rath presses the question mark above the Unknown.


    Unknown Class - This class is unknown. The person whose class is unknown must find out what it is or somebody else who knows this class what the user has must tell him. Gives 1 benefit from the class before revealing.


    Rath: "One benefit... I''ll guess i''m a mage type... Because I have infinite magic power. It seems like the other mages I killed before ran out of mana... I guess that''s my class benefit? Interesting. I guess i''ll guard this pathway until something interesting appears or i just get bored of being here..."


    Rath stayed in that forest for a little bit... Until he got very bored and left.


    He ventured for a while until he found a slave mine... What will he do here? Will he slaughter eveything what is making the slaves work? Upcourse he will! How he shall do it? We shall find out next time.

 Chapter 3

    Rath, our ghost psychopatic killer hero, is approaching a slave mine.


    The reason why? Murder everybody but the slaves.


    Rath: "One... Two... Ah I hate counting! I''ll just murder them all! It''s easier than to count..."


    Rath approaches two guards and listens in.


    Guard #1: "Have you heard?"


    Guard #2: "About what?"


    Guard #1: "THAT slave."


    Guard #2: "Oh you mean that slave... It would be nice to get to spend a few nights with her... Just thinking about that body makes me... Arous-"


    Rath immediatly cut off the heads when he heard the beginning of that word.


    He continued to walk around. Killing everything in silence. Until he noticed something. An aristocrats son was here. He smiled and his smile was so big it could''ve reached the moon.


    He wanted to kill the aristocrats son...


    Rath: "A rich fat pig''s son... Kill kill kill? Yeah. Kill. No matter to think about it. Kill the son."


    Rath approached the son of the aristocrat but a guard spotted the weird darkness what was moving towards the aristocrats son and raised the alarm. Rath still advanced and killed the aristocrats son. Only this time he couldn''t torture him. He had to kill the son fast to kill the others before slaves get hurt. Again.. The same thing happened. Heads rolled, blood spilled, limbs cut off. Only slaves remained.


    Only a few slaves approached. 2 males and 1 female.


    Slave Male #1: "Thank you... Rath... Even we''ve heard about you... The slave-saver Rath... The angel who took upon the appearance of the grim reaper..."


    Slave Female #1: "I thank you too... You saved us... You save us... The slaves who were meant to work till they die... You protect us! So we must protect you too somehow..."


    Slave Male #2: "We will raise a village near the woods you are residing in... We will live there... Under your care... Lord Rath."


    Rath: "Hmm? I guess I will protect your village. It''s the least I can do after I saved all of you."


    Rath and the slaves leave. Rath ventures back into the woods and casts a barrier on it. He doesn''t know why he knows barrier magic but he doesn''t bother to ask himself that question. He is a being who doesn''t even know what he is. He is a complete mystery.


    Rath: "The goddess only gave me Absoloute Control... So what am I... Why do I have infinite mana... Too many questions. Not enough answers... I guess i''ll go to sleep while thinking... In my... Dreams..."


    Rath falls asleep while thinking... He keeps thinking even in his dreams... What he doesn''t know is years have gone by... By the time he wakes up, because the barrier was broken forcefully, 25 years was over... He slept for 25 years... And now he awoke again.


    He immediatly goes to the point where the barrier was broken. He saw the people who were former slaves being chased by people who were trying to enslave them again... And an aristocrat who wasn''t as fat as a pig but was getting to that point... The Aristocrat had a moustache and 2 slave girls always near him. Rath was disgusted at that sight.


    He looked to the village.


    Atleast 100 men in armor and fully armed were chasing men,women and children who were only numbered 70 and had no weapons.


    This was disgraceful... He couldn''t bare to continue to watch so he summoned shadows. His control over shadows went to such a limit he could create shadow soldiers. He had used shadows before but only to make swords,scythes,spears and axes.


    Now afture his sleep he could create Shadow Soldiers with a select weapon from the 4 mentioned before.


    He summoned 30 Shadow Soldiers. All of them had a different weapon.


    Rath summoned a big scythe for himself and marched towards the village with his small band of troops.


    When he arrived there the villagers were already being put in cages. It was dawn. And that dawn... Will never be forgotten... The time Rath awoke again afture 25 years... And begun his rampage again.


    He marched straight up to the army from the shadows. The humans and aristocrats were shocked and drew arms immediatly...


    But it was too late. The shadows were already killing everything what wasn''t a person who was designated as an ally or neutral.


    Heads were rolling, blood was spilling, limbs were being cut. Men were screaming like women. And another Aristocrat fell. The aristocrat fell to Rath''s scythe. Cut down like an insect. Screaming for mercy and forgivness from Rath and offering protection from other aristocrats.


    Rath: "This Aristocrat... Protection from others? They will get cut down too... They begun to enslave people again... So I shall teach them... To die. The filthy royals... They shall... Fear my name... And the gods who created them... Shall fear my name too. All but one goddess... The goddess who sent me here... Shall be spared... For she shall help me forge new worlds... Better worlds... Where equality is a thing... And royals are no more. Hehehehehhe"


    The slaves came towards Rath and bowed down. The 2 slave girls who were with the Aristocrat came up to him. They looked 15 years old...


    Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.Slave Girl #1: "Hello Rath... You have awoken again... We need your help once again... They have begun enslaving us again... And by the way... I''m Tia. The girl next to me is Mia... We are twins and the Aristocrat took interest in us and enslaved us... We have been enslaved for 2 years now... He did such things to us we don''t want to remember..."


    Rath: "Don''t worry Tia and Mia... I will protect all of you... I will kill.... The royals... HEEHEHEHHE... I WILL KILL..."


    Rath kept mumbling something about killing everybody involved in enslaving others until Tia calmed him down.


    Tia: "Rath... Can we come with you...? We don''t want to stay away from you... You protect us so we are safer with you... Mia doesn''t speak much so I will speak for her aswell..."


    Rath: "Ok Tia and Mia..."


    Mia: "Rath... Thank you..."


    Mia and Tia smile at Rath. Rath smiles back with his... Soul body...


    Afture that Rath looks confused... He doesn''t know what to do.


    Tia: "Rath... You don''t know what to do? Where to go?"


    Rath: "No... I just awoke..."


    Tia: "Well... There is a city where basically everybody is a slave... And the owners live in that city too... We could go there and capture that city... And free everybody... Including my mother and father.."


    Rath: "We shall do that... I will kill the royals... I will... KILL. I will... DESTROY.... I will.. PROTECT..."


    Tia: "We understand... You will kill royals... You will destroy the royality. You will protect commoners and slaves..."


    Rath: "Yes... Yes I will."


    Tia: "By the way... What class are you..? Are you a mage? A shadow mage?"


    Rath: "No idea... I can''t be a shadow mage only because I can feel the flow of mana and I can control other elements too. And even when I try to enter that into the class spot it says WRONG."


    Tia: "All elements... Flow of mana... Are you... No Impossible... A ghost shouldn''t... But what if... But..."


    Rath: "What are you mumbling about?"


    Tia: "You might be... A spell weaver..."


    A sudden *ding* sound goes through Rath''s brain and he quickly checks his class.


    Class - Spell Weaver


    Rath: "I am... A spell... Weaver..."


    Tia: "Wh...What... We slaves and commoners... Can actually... Be saved forever..."


    Tia starts crying and so do the other slaves. Rath opens up the class description.


    Spell Weaver - The ultimate magician. Can use every element. Can feel the mana flow. The class has Infinite Mana but usually is very weak physically. The Spell Weaver has many different spells. And he can create new spells from other spells and teach them to apprentices.


    Rath: "Ultimate... Magician. And i''m a ghost what is immortal and depends on magical power... Hehehehe... I can kill royals forever now..."


    Tia: "Rath... You are our hope... You are the one I will serve forever... Mia do you think so too?"


    Mia nods. Then they both suddenly kiss Rath on the cheek. Well try to. They fall through his ghost body and hit the floor.


    Rath: "I''m a ghost... You cannot touch me."


    Tia: "Ghosts with high mana can make material bodies... Then they turn into an Elemental of some type... Why haven''t you done that...?"


    Rath: "Did not know that... Thanks for the info!"


    Rath immediatly condenses some magical power into his unmaterial body and concentrates. When he finishes... He has a human body. It has pure white skin and black hair. It''s eyes are two different colors. One black and one white. There is little red in both eyes.


    He is pretty tall. 2 meters.


    He is surprised by his body.


    He looks at Tia.


    Tia is a 15 year old girl. 1 meter 65 centimeters. Blue eyes. Golden hair. She has a tanned-looking skin. She looks fragile.


    He then looks at Mia.


    They look exactly the same. Only their personalities are different.


    A slave approaches Rath and asks what they shall do.


    Rath: "Stay in the village. Build walls. I''ll make the beasts in the forest like you guys so they will protect you."


    Rath then soon dissapears into the forest and returns with a few beasts. The beasts look strong and they are very big.


    Rath: "These beasts shall protect you. Treat them well. They agreed to do this because... They actually want to co-exist with humans. They are the more powerful beasts who have developed bigger and stronger brains. So don''t make them mad."


    Chief: "Ok. We shall stay here and grow our population.. Just for you Lord Rath."


    Rath then starts heading out in his human form but then realizes. He has no clothes.


    Rath: "I have... No clothes... Chief... Get me some please."


    The chief nods and leaves and returns with some clothes. They are well made.


    Rath: "Thanks. Tia and Mia let''s go!"


    Rath then heads towards the city where everybody is basically a slave. Tia and Mia soon follow him.


    We shall soon see what he will do in that city.

 Chapter 4

    Rath... The serial killer of Aristocrats and also the Spell Weaver is heading towards a city of slaves.


    The city has no name.


    On the path there he saw beasts... But all of them ran away. He also got closer to Tia and Mia... ALOT closer.


    Rath was walking, sandwiched between Tia and Mia who were holding onto him stronger than glue. He did not know why. But why should he care.


    The only things he cares about is...


    DEATH. DESTRUCTION. REVENGE.


    For now.''


    He arrives at the city... But it was different from what he imagined. It looked like the slums. But an entire city of them. There was only one part what was royal looking. The middle where the keep of the city was located. He knew that place was the target.


    He found an inn and stayed there in a room for three.


    The innkeeper winked at Rath but he didn''t understand why.


    He only was beginning to understand later. When the girls were undressing infront of him. But he was already prepearing to head out again.


    Tia: "Rath... Where are you going?"


    Rath: "Death calls. The time of an aristocrat''s life ends."


    Mia: "Rath... Stay..."


    Rath: "No can do Mia and Tia. The clock''s ticking. Every second counts."


    Tia and Mia: "But.."


    Rath: "No buts. I''m going and I will come back soon. It will only take one hour."


    Tia: "You promise?"


    Rath: "Yes. I will kill them and not torture them. Is that ok? It should only take one hour..."


    Tia: "Ok then..."


    Mia: "Ok Rath... I''m fine with... That..."


    Rath jumped out the window. Tia and Mia went to bed.


    Tia: "And I hoped we could snuggle with him.."


    Mia: "Same... I feel..."


    Tia: "Dissapointed..?"


    Mia: "Yes..."


    Rath was already in an aristocrats house. Silently moving like a shadow. What he basically was. He approached the room of what seemed the Aristocrats daughter. He went up to the daughter and what he saw... Was something else. It wasn''t the aristocrat''s daughter. It was... The slave girl who first thanked him. She was chained up to the bed and... Used as a relief toy. The slave girl was now a grown up woman. 30-ish.


    Rath: "Disgusting pig... Just because he has money thinks he can do whatever he feels like... I''ll kill him."


    Female Slave: "R...Ra...Rath...? Is... That you...? Rath...?"


    Rath: "It''s me girly. It''s Rath. The ghost you named... I''ll kill the bastard who did this to you."


    Female Slave: "Kill him... And save me... Please.."


    The woman started to cry. Rath... he turned back into his shadow form... And wandered around. He heard something... It was the aristocrats family. They were awake and in the living room with their maids and butlers and a few guardsmen.


    Rath just entered and summoned a few shadows behind the guards. The guards were immediatly impaled by spears and thrown aside.


    Rath: "Hello... Pig... And family of... Pig."


    Rath looked around and saw 1 girl who looked spoiled.


    Rath: "This must be... Your daughter. You spoiled her... I''ll take her with me... Aristocrat son... Kill. Aristocrat wife... Kill. Aristocrat... Kill. Aristocrat daughter... Save. Teach hardships of the world."


    Aristocrat: "NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! DON''T!"


    Rath turns around just to find a pig trying to get up but failing. The butlers and maids don''t want to move and can''t. The shadows are infront of them blocking their path.


    Aristocrats wife: "N...NO! NOT MY DAUGHTER!"


    Aristocrats daughter: "Mommy... Daddy... What''s happening..."


    Rath: "Ok... I won''t take her with me... I''ll let her go to hell with you... Hehehehehe..."


    Rath cuts off the girls head.


    Aristocrats wife: "NO!!!!!"


    Aristocrat: "YOU! YOU...."


    The aristocrat and his wife start crying. The head butler tries to go and comfort them but gets impaled by a spear what was thrown by a shadow.


    Aristocrat: "Rath... I''ve heard... About you... The slave-saver..."


    Rath: "Not really. I only saved slaves because I want to kill their imprisoners. You see... I used to be something close to a slave... So the least I can do is save them from sharing my fate."


    Aristocrat: "What do you mean you freaking psychopa-"


    The Aristocrat''s head rolls to the floor.


    Aristocrats wife: "Spare me please! I''ll do anything! I''ll even do this and that! I''ll do anything! Please no! I don''t want to die!"


    Rath: "You... I don''t like you. Die."


    Aristocrats wife: "No ple-"


    The Aristocrats wifes head flies into the air. The body falls to the floor  smashing the table.


    Rath looks at the time.


    Rath: "Oh... I only have... 5 minutes to get back... I spent too much time again... I''ll leave you butlers and maids alone. Just make sure to clean this all up ok? Hehehhe"


    Rath goes out the door and dissapears. The shadows dissipate.


    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.Butler: "That... Was scary."


    Maid: "My underwear went through... Some problems..."


    Butler: "Whose didn''t... I mean he killed our masters right infront of us... While smiling and laughing..."


    The maids and butlers clean everything up. Rath reaches the inn just in time.


    Rath: "Good... I made it in time."


    Rath opens the door and goes into his room. Tia tries to tackle Rath but fails. She goes through Raths soul body straight into the corridor in her nightgown. She walks back in embarrased.


    Tia: "Rath... WHY WERE YOU IN YOUR SHADOW FORM!?"


    Rath: "Forgot."


    Tia: "GOD DAMNIT RATH! I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU BUT I MADE A FOOL OF MYSELF!"


    Rath: "I''m sorry! Let''s go to sleep ok...?"


    Tia: "Ok... Mia''s already waiting in bed... She didn''t want to surprise you."


    Rath turns back into his human form and goes to bed between Tia and Mia. He feels like he forgot something... When he wakes up he remembers... The slave woman.


    He rushes back to the mansion to find her still shackled.


    Female Slave: "RATH! YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME DIDN''T YOU!"


    Rath: "Sorry sorry! I was too busy with Tia and Mia!"


    Femal Slave: "TIA? MIA? Oh... I didn''t give you my name did I... I''m Julia... BUT WHO ARE TIA AND MIA?!"


    Rath: "2 slave girls I saved afture my 25 year nap..."


    Julia: "Ok... IS WHAT YOU THOUGHT I WOULD SAY!? YOU KEPT ME WAITING FOR 25 DAMN YEARS!"


    Rath: "Calm down calm down! You can come with us ok!"


    Julia: "Ok..."


    Rath throws Julia some clothes what the aristocrats wife used to wear and they leave.


    They soon hear that 1 out of the 4 aristocrat houses in the city was murdered.


    Rath knew who did it. Rath was the one who did it.


    Every  night rath would go into an aristocrat house and kill the aristocrat family there.


    The town was saved in just 4 nights.


    The town slaves were free.


    In the 5th night... The ex-slave villagers came into this city.


    The city was liberated. A huge statue of Rath''s human form was being planned to be created.


    Julia: "Hmm... It seems I have love rivals who are actually in love with Rath..."


    Tia: "Keep your hands off of Rath... Julia."


    Mia: "Yeah... Rath is for us.."


    Julia: "No. He is for me."


    Rath walks behind them as they are bickering and listens in on the argument. Tia and Mia keep saying Rath is their lover. Julia keeps saying he is hers.


    Rath suddenly exploded into a laughing fit. Tia, Mia and Julia look at him in embarrasment. He heard everything.


    Rath: "I haven''t laughed in such a long time! Hahahahahahha! To think TWO girls and ONE woman were in love with me! HAHAHAHHAHA!"


    Tia: "What''s so funny! You saved all of us!"


    Rath: "It''s just... I don''t get the concept of... Love anymore. I know what it is. But... It seems I can only feel bloodlust right now."


    Tia: "We will help you fix that."


    Tia kisses Rath on the left cheek. Mia kisses him on the right. Julia kisses him on the forehead.


    Rath: "See! You can  get along."


    The two girls and Julia realize... They can share him.


    Rath: "Well... Where should I go next? I know nothing of this world."


    Tia: "About my mother and father..."


    Rath: "Oh yeah... There was that. I''ll shout it to everyone."


    Rath jumps up to the highest point of the city and uses magic to amplify his voice


    Rath: "MOTHER AND FATHER OF THE TWO GIRLS NAMED TIA AND MIA. COME TO THE FRONT OF THE EAST GATE OF THE CITY!"


    Rath then jumps back. The band of Rath, The twins and Julia was waiting at the east gate. Until two slaves appear.


    Mia and Tia start crying. Rath understood why. It was their parents.


    Tia: "Mother... Father... You are still... Alive..."


    Tia and Mia''s Father: "We are child. But who is he?"


    Tia: "Rath... The savior everybody is talking about."


    The parents of Tia and Mia immdiatly bow down.


    The twins Father: "Hello Lord Rath. I apologize for not knowing it was you!"


    Rath: "It''s fine really. I like Tia and Mia... So I like you too."


    Julia: "What about me Rath."


    Rath: "You too Julia. I like you too."


    The Twins father talks with Rath for a while until Rath leaves. The set destination is a port town. There is apparently a very strong slave magician there. She is enslaved by an even stronger mage aristocrat. Rath wants to save her just to see magic and use more of it.


    The band heads out. Tia and Mia glued to Rath''s side. Julia a little behind but holding Rath''s shirt.


    If anybody were to see this they would think a love potion was being used.


    The destination is set. The goal is clear. The story is going to be told next time.

 Chapter 5

    Rath... With his small band of girls and one woman... Was heading towards the city with the slave magician.


    But Rath decided to leave for a while... The twins and Julia DID NOT like this.


    He heard rumours about strong monsters in the mountains near the path.


    Rath: "Mia, Tia, Julia. I''m leaving for now. Keep heading towards the magicians place. Get an Inn. I''ll come by later."


    Tia: "NO! WHERE!? Where are you heading now!?"


    Rath: "To the mountains."


    Tia: "NO! That''s 3 days of walking away! You would stall the saving of the magician!"


    Rath: "I''ll make it quicker. I''m fast remember? I''m a ghost."


    Tia: "Well... Yeah... But..."


    Rath: "I''ll set out at midnight."


    Tia: "We can''t talk you out of this can we..."


    Rath: "Nope. I want to test how powerful my shadows can be against strong monsters."


    Mia: "Monsters...?"


    Julia: "You mean... The strong monsters in the mountains... No adventurer band has been able to defeat them..."


    Rath: "Even better. I''ll escape if it seems like i''m going to die."


    Tia: "RISKING YOUR LIFE!? What will we do if you die?! Me and Mia were enslaved from the moment we were born! Julia I don''t know about but I don''t want to go back to being a slave!"


    Julia: "I''ll... Tell you my backstory later... But Rath... It will be troublesome if you die... We would be killed for inciting rebellion.."


    Rath: "Don''t worry! I''ll be safe... Somehow."


    Tia: "Mia... Can you try to talk him out of this...? It seems I can''t. Seems Julia can''t either."


    Mia: "Rath... You know that... You are our last hope right... If you die... It''s the end for us... We would be killed or thrown into a position lower than a slave... A sex slave..."


    Julia: "I already was a sex slave for escaping once... I don''t want to go back to being that again..."


    Rath: "I''m still going. I''m confident in my Absoloute Control ability. It might even level up... And if my Shadows are strong enough to kill men in armor... Think about the next level!"


    Julia: "That... Might be... But..."


    Julia and the twins go into deep thought. They don''t know what to do.


    Rath: "I won''t back down. I''ve been following you all for long enough. I went where you asked me to... I want to explore a little. If I stay by your sides... Makes me feel like a controlled spirit or elemental mob..."


    Mia: "That... Is true..."


    Tia: "Yeah... Go then... BUT COME BACK ALIVE. PROMISE!?"


    Rath: "Yeah yeah.. I promise."


    Rath then leaves because they were arguing for a while and it reached midnight and the twins with Julia keep heading towards the city.


    Rath is currently jumping from shadow to shadow. Branch from branch... Towards the Mountain.


    He reached the mountains an hour afture midnight.


    It was dark but he could see like the sun was still out.


    Rath: "So this is the rumoured mountain with the strong beasts..."


    Rath summons an army of shadows and orders them to start killing EVERY beast on the mountain. Clearing it.


    He lost over 75% of the army but the rest survived. A pop-up appeared.


    Absoloute Control has leveled up. Giving control over all Elementals and not restricting it to Shadow Elementals.


    Rath: "Sweet... Absoloute control leveled up... As expected. The drops were useless... I don''t have to sell them and make anything with them. Most blacksmiths and shop owners close their doors to the name Rath so it''s really hard to do anything.. And my human forms description got out too thanks to those butlers and maids... I knew I should''ve killed them... But they were just like me... Doing what their masters ordered them to do just for survival... Same with slaves... They resemble me too much... I can''t bring myself to kill them... Upcourse I could abandon all common sense and become a killing machine... But I would never recover from that."


    Rath ponders for a while and when he notices... 2 days passed. 1 and a half for clearing the mountainside. The other half for thinking about what to do.


    Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    Rath: "Magic... That doesn''t sound so bad... I only have Absoloute Control and can use Elementals... But it would be nice to use magic while using Elementals... Well... Oh yeah... The reason we were going to that other city was because of the magician there... I should really get back. It only actually takes me a few hours to get to a city from this mountain... And they told me 3 days was the walking time..."


    Rath then jumped from branch to branch for 6 hours. Reaching the city. Tia was already waiting outside for him.


    Tia: "RATH! YOU ARE BACK ALIVE!"


    Tia starts crying and tackles Rath''s human form onto the ground.


    Tia: "I thought you were going to die... We heard a magician army was heading over to the mountain side to kill the beasts and then head over to the location you were last seen at to try to figure out where you were at and seal you..."


    Rath: "Seal me...? That''s quite impossible. I have infinite mana  thanks to my class."


    Tia: "We also found out the location of the magician."


    Rath: "Good... The pieces are coming into place. Soon I can start making the royals kill eachother for power. For now our goal is to destroy the kingdom we are residing in from the inside."


    Tia: "Yeah. The Magician is in the dungeon. At the bottom. Guarded by atleast 50 magicians and 150 guardsmen. A spy told us this info. Seems the organization of spies has taken interest in our group and decided to support us."


    Rath: "Now we have some support pillars underneath our campaign huh?"


    Tia: "I don''t know what that exactly means but I''m going to say yeah."


    Rath: "What about Mia and Julia?"


    Tia: "They are asleep. We all kept watch each night for your return. It was my turn this time."


    Rath: "Tia. I might have to start working alone."


    Tia: "W...What are you..."


    Rath: "I don''t want to put you guys in danger this much. I''ll secure a mansion for you and i''ll come to visit you all as often as possible."


    Tia: "Well... If you want... But make sure to visit us as often as possible! Without you... We can''t do anything..."


    Rath: "I''ll visit you every week. I am also going make myself a child''s body and go into an elite school. See if I can make some royals dissapear. Maybe even make some royals who are against having slaves join our cause. Maybe even get you girls adopted into a family so you will have a better life."


    Tia: "But we are fine with being yours forever..."


    Rath: "But my objectives can easily kill me and leave you guys with nothing left and an ending point soon coming."


    Tia: "Well... Ok..."


    Tia (under her breath): "I''m still going to marry you though..."


    Rath: "I thought I heard you say something just now... Under your breath. Something about marrying me."


    Tia: "Y-you misheard! I said nothing! It was just the wind!"


    Rath: "Hahahaha... You are even cuter when flustered."


    Rath pats Tia and she turns really red out of embarrasement. They head inside to where Mia and Julia are sleeping in the same bed.


    Rath: "Only room for one of us. You go. I''ll sleep on the chair."


    Tia: "But... Y-"


    Rath: "Just go. You are Mia''s sister afture alll. I''ll be fine."


    Tia: "Ok..."


    Rath: "You''ve been agreeing with me a lot lately... Is there something wrong?"


    Tia: "It''s that you''ve been doing what we want... We decided that we should listen to you more... You are the one who decides if we live or not afture all... But why do you save slaves...?"


    Rath: "Hmm... How to explain this... I don''t save slaves exactly... I just kill the people who enslave them... I hate people who take others into something like a slave state. I was like that once... In my past life..."


    Tia: "Past life...?"


    Rath: "Nothing nothing. Good night."


    Tia: "Good night."


    The party falls asleep. When they wake up they decide to tell eachother everything. All what they''ve been through.


    Next chapter holds the backstory of the party members.

 Backstories. Chapter 6.

    The Backstory of Rath.


    Rath used to be a pretty reliable guy... That is what everybody thought in his previous life. He was actually just... Being used from the moment he was old enough to know about the world. And that was 5 years old.


    His father always had Rath do whatever he wanted. His father was the kind what used his children as tools. Rath never saw that he was being used as a tool because he was just 5 years old... And when he died... He was already used to being a tool.


    His father had Rath marry a woman just to get more power. Then the father sent him to an elite school just so his reputation would increase.


    When Rath got out of that school... He was used again. By the woman he was forced to marry while being just 12 years old. The woman used him to get money out of people and such using the pretext of: "He is sick" or "He has something wrong with his brain".


    Everytime he went to find a new workplace at the age of 18 to his death... The boss took him in but used him as a tool. You could say his luck was bad from the moment he was born. It went on for a long time...  And then he jumped off the cliff. He didn''t want to be used anymore. It was painful. Always being used when needed and when not needed thrown away. His "wife", his father, all his bosses did just that. And he was truly sick of it. He noticed just a few weeks before his death that he was a tool used for a better life. Just like everybody who gets born into an unlucky life. Hence. He ended it.


    Backstory of Tia and Mia.


    Tia and Mia the twins were... Always together. They were together ever since their birth. They lived a happy life with their mother and father for 14 years. Nothing could have gone wrong they thought.... But the aristocrat came. Three weeks before their birthday he came and took them away. He took interest in the girls because of their fine bodies. They were having lunch when the men of the aristocrat bursted through the door and took them away. Their father and mother tried to resist but got killed. Stabbed by 2 spears both. Tia and Mia could only look in horror... As their parents fell to the floor, dead. They were forcefully taken to the lustful Aristocrat. For three weeks they were trained to be "good girls" to the aristocrat by the other slaves who were brainswashed. Then the aristocrat left with the convoy of soldiers to find the slave village near Rath''s woods.


    Tia and Mia were taken along forcefully. When they reached there they saw... The happiness of the villagers and were envious. They all were saved by the spirit of Rath. They wanted that to happen to them too. So they prayed. And prayed. They looked as the former slaves were enslaved again. Until something changed. Rath came and saved them, he saved everybody there. The twins looked at Rath like an angel from heaven with the body of a demon from hell. From there on they followed him.


    This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    Backstory of Julia.


    Julia was born into slavery. She was a daugther of two slaves. The aristocrat who was the owner of the two slaves killed them for having a baby but took care of Julia. Not really. He only threw Julia into the care of the other slaves hoping she would grow up to be a fine slave. Julia was taught for 5 years about being a good slave for things. The new father and mother took good care of Julia. Replacing her real parents.


    She was in a slave convoy in a cage. Until she heard screams. Screams of soldiers being slaughtered by something laughing a little.


    Then she heard... The aristocrat scream. Screaming, laughing, sounds of battle but death.


    Then the screams stopped. And a black formless figure walked towards her. It looked like it was going to kill her but it opened the cage. Julia looked at the figure. It and some other shadows opened all the cages and everybody ran. Even the fake parents of Julia ran screaming for her to come.


    But she stood there and asked the figure about itself. The figure didn''t know so she named it Rath. Rath soon dissapeared and she never saw him again... She was enslaved soon afture again. Former slaves are easy to enslave again. She was this time treated more harshly... She was tied to a bed and used by father and son a like.... So on for 25 years. She was close to death... Until she saw something. A figure opened the door. It looked like Rath. And it was Rath. She was surprised and asked Rath some things... Then he left. She heard screams and laughing. Then running. Nobody came back for her until morning... She was mad at Rath.


    He left her again.


    But he took her in and saved her. This time not leaving her. She followed him again only to meet Tia and Mia.
