    Chapter 0


    As the night falls, a silhouette figure runs through the unexplored forest.


    The moonlight until a while ago covered in clouds shine brightly throughout the forest. The silhouette is passing through the moonlight shine brightly as if the moonlight wanting reveal the figure running through the forest.


    As the moonlight dim the figure, it shows a woman in her 20''s as she run while gasping her breath.


    She looks back only to see darkness covered through the forest and then she stops running.


    Breathing heavenly as she sits on a nearby tree and with on her two arms is carrying a bundle of cloth and if you look close was a baby sleeping soundly. The woman looked at the baby and smiled with a hint of sadness in her eyes.


    15 minutes has passed as the woman is still resting, she noticed torches of light when she came from and is beginning to get closer.


    The woman panicked and began to ran again, she ran as fast as she could until the torch light is no more but the woman didn''t stop.


    Its like she knows if she stops she will see the torch light again. She keeps running and if she is tired she walked, but she didn''t stop for fearing the possible outcome if she does.


    Two days, the woman travel deeper through the forest, she only stops to breastfeed the baby who until now didn''t cry. As the woman saw the baby feeding through her breast, she began to smile brightly.


    Because even though the baby didn''t cry nor feeling in pain as she see the baby is hungry and feeding in her breast means the baby is healthy. She didn''t care if the baby is a monster because she is her child. As a mother who would want to harm her children?


    Three days has passed the woman continues walking while staggering as she carrying the baby who is still didn''t cry or make any noises.


    As the woman still walking, she noticed a pond 100 meter radius big, the pond is so clear that you could see through below. The woman then walks towards the pond and seat the nearby tree to rest.


    Three hours has passed, she looked at the placed she had been and to see no one is following her.


    Knowing that no one was there she sighed, so she rested another hours more to recovered her fatigue.


    As she finished feeding the baby and most of her fatigue are gone so she began her journey through deep in the forest. Little did she know that a dozen of red eyes hiding in the darkness and as they waiting to attack if opportunity is right.


    As she journeyed deep in the forest, she noticed a dozen of silhouette behind her with a pair of red glowing eyes.


    After she noticed that, she began running in fear as the baby in his bosoms with both her arms gripped tightly.


    She ran as fast as she could but the silhouette is still there hiding behind the darkness as it follows the woman.


    She looks back and finally, the silhouettes shows themselves and appeared to be a pack of large wolves, four feet tall and a large exposed canine and with sharp, big, long claws. The woman was startled fearing not to herself but the baby on her bosom.


    She began running as fast as she could but the wolves were too fast for the woman.


    As the woman keeps running, her right foot met a root of the trees erecting of the ground and then stumble, fortunately the baby was safe and still didn''t cry.


    She tries to stand up but only to get slashed behind by the claws of the one of the wolf as she lays on the ground.


    "Please...........at...least........my child"


    That was all she could say as the light in her eyes slowly fade. As the rest of the wolf begin to get closer to the woman.


    Then a figure suddenly appeared.


    A beautiful girl that look like a 12 years old, wearing pure white sleeveless dress that match her white porcelain skin.


    She walks barefooted towards the wolves. The wolves see the girl and were first startled because of the unexpected visitor.


    They then calms down as they see is only a 12 years old girl that looks so frail you could break her easily with just a measly touching her. The girl looks expressionless as she is keeps walking towards their direction and ignoring the wolves as if they weren''t there.


    The dying woman has still had enough strength to last in minutes as she mustered his head to look up and see the beautiful girl she ever saw. The woman said to be the most beautiful girl on their village, many courted her but were rejected and many were jealous of her because of her beauty. But alas she turned into something cannot be considered human anymore.


    That was in the past¡­..


    But, the girl in front of her was on the other level when it comes of beauty. Only one word the woman can think of. She was ¡®Otherworldly¡¯.


    Small and cute face, five feet tall, unblemished pure white porcelain skin as it matches with her sleeveless dress. The woman giving out at majestic and noble aura as it added to her otherworldly beauty.


    She slowly approaches the wolves and the woman''s direction. The woman sees this and she attempting to shout and warning her to the impending danger. But her slowly diminishing life did not let her do so.


    The girl finally stops walking in front of the woman who is lying on the ground while her baby is besides her. The girl look at the woman and the woman mustered not to lose her strength as she lifted her head.


    Then she realized something, who in their right minds going inside the unexplored forest as she began to ponders that the girl must not what she seems to be.


    "I will only save one of you"


    The girl spoke, a beautiful voice as if she sang every word she said. The woman smiles at the girl who is still expressionless but that didn''t bother the woman and look at her baby beside her.


    As if the girl knows the answer she gives a small nod to the woman and the face at the wolves that until now didn''t attack. But the sounds of growling indicate the wolves were pissed because of the interruptions on their meal and somehow happy because another prey just walks in front of them.


    "Leave or die"


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


    A short sentence forms in the mouth of the girl made the wolves feels uneasy telling them that the girl in front of them was not an easy prey, but their greed clouded their judgements.


    The first one to attack is the larger wolf that might be the leader, thinking of an easy prey the larger wolf runs and ready to slashed her claws to the girl, only to block by an invisible wall and stops its attack.


    The other wolves follow suit and do the same thinking they might do something different but all the same and was stop by an invisible wall. The bigger wolf that was still in his slashing position realized he can''t get his claws off and so as the other wolves.


    The woman who was lying on the ground was watching as the first wolf attack. At first she was nervous but seeing the girl has a unnatural power as he somehow stopped the wolves made her relieved.


    The girl still just stands there with an unfazed face, while all the wolves couldn''t move and didn''t know what happens to them. The wolves around her wanting to flee but cannot do so and made them feel fear for the first time.


    A slowly wave of her hand "splat" that was heard throughout the surroundings and the wolves becomes minced meat beyond unrecognizable. The woman clearly saw what happened but instead of fearing she feel thankful and relieved not for herself but for the baby as he can lived through another day, yet there is a hint of sadness in her eyes as she looked at the baby one last time.


    The girl then walks towards the woman "What is his name" said the girl while looking at the baby beside the woman.


    "Name him.....I..m.....undeserving"


    Forcing herself the woman said to the girl in front of her. With all her might she try to get and pick up the baby and giving it to the girl in front of her.


    The girl reluctantly pick the baby but she accept it at last and look at the woman then looked at the baby, then for the first time she expressed a gentle gaze as she gazed upon the baby and made the woman smile as she sees this and feel relieved.


    "Lyaga"


    That was the girl said with gentleness in her eyes. The woman then smiles. Losing her strength as she lie on the ground with a smile on her face. "Lyaga" that was the last sentence she says before the light in her has now diminished.


    *************************************************************************************


    10 years later


    Leaping through tree to tree only a black blur could see, I Lyaga ran or should I say leap hahahaha....


    You might be asking why, well the answer is in my hand.


    A single piece of silky white cloth, uncle said that it will fill me with hope and dreams of a man, I trust my uncle he teaches of the things I was lacking. He is a wise dragon after all.


    As I leap through the branches to branches of the trees, I felt a presence as it slowly approaching me.


    "Lyaga! When I get you.....you...give that back"


    A figure of a beautiful girl that looks like 12 years old was seen as she slowly approaching me.


    She has a silver hair, silver eyes and pure white dress to match her so called purity....well that what she said. Her name is Silviana the Fairy Queen and my adoptive mother.


    She''s running while covering her lower body between her tight with both of her hands. Well...what do you expect in my hands is the so called hope and dreams of many men that what my uncle said.


    "No way!!! Uncle said I will become a real man if I use the power within in this piece of cloth"


    Yes, that was my uncle said, he is wise after all, he teaches me something my mother failed to teach. He is my idol a powerful and wisest dragon.


    "T..that perverted old man! I should have known!!!"


    As I run from my mother, Damn it......who said a fairy is frail, I''m at my fastest speed here, I even strengthen my body using <Dragon Strength>  a magic that is taught by my uncle.


    Still my midget mother is slowly approaching me, she didn''t even use magic!!!! It¡¯s just pure strength alone.


    I suddenly remembered when I and my mother were eating under the shade of trees then uncle shows up with his twin daughters as they walking and approaching us.


    Then he accidentally trips and land his two hands on mothers slightly bulging breast, although I didn''t know how he trip, when he was walking on a flat surface, but still that was an accident I tell you accident!!!!!


    Oh, by the way he was sent flying through the nearby mountain by my mother and left a big hole in it, he was ok by the way, and my childhood friends just shrugged it off as if it was natural occurrence.


    Well you can''t blame uncle even though he is great and powerful he was clumsy at times, especially when he''s around women as I sometimes tagging along with him around and I was the one who always apologize using my secret art


    <


    > cultivated by my uncle since I beginning to idolizes him.


    By the way I use my secret art to stop mother who was about to launch a Forbidden Class magic towards uncle after she sends uncle flying of the mountain.  So the mountain only gets a hole on its upper part of it, thanks to me hehehehe....


    As I leap through the forest my mother is behind me 100 meters away is slowly getting closer.


    Hiii.....I began to panic and shrieking inside my mind but I showed a resolute face as I was thinking when I became a man I should do this and that, hehehe.....nothing will sto.......


    While I am at my own world daydreaming an invisible wall appears in front of me or should I say I didn''t even notice, it¡¯s invisible after all.


    It hit me hard that I look like a lizard sticking on a tree branch. This was my mother''s specialty only she can do this but for some reason I to develop this kind of ability but on a very very very tiny scale of course.


    I ask mother about this but he just averted her beautiful eyes, hiding something.


    I then lose consciousness. Dammit!!!!!!!!!!


    I Lyaga 15 years old stop growing after my 10th birthday and stole my mother''s panty.

    Introduction arc


    Conflicted Heart part 1


    Silviana¡¯s POV


    Since he was a three I began to teach lyaga, ranging from manner and etiquette to magic and martial arts.


    I was very strict back then, for I do not want him to be a ruffian when he grows up.


    I taught him different language I known and taught him magic which is surprised even me since he learned and mastered it immediately by a short period of time. But I was cold back then and I don''t want change back to my old self again as I soften my attitude towards my son by the coming years after a certain accident


    On his 10th birthday, while he was playing with his two childhood friends, he asks me if they can wander through the innermost forest as his birthday present. I reluctantly agreed for there are many dangerous beasts in this forest.


    But as I realized he was strong enough to protect himself and his two childhood friend, I then agreed as I repeatedly reminds to him of the place he should not go.


    I ordered two of my servants to secretly watch them and report to me if accident happens.


    After my son and his two childhood friends has left. Since I got nothing to do, I ordered all my palace servants as we prepare a grand feast only a royalty could afford for his birthday.


    As I was thinking of what I will give him as a present, someone hurriedly burst in the palace as I hear its footsteps coming towards the dining room which I was located.


    While we were preparing for the party, one of the two servants who I ordered to watch my son came back with blood and bruises all over her body.


    The servant conveyed me what has happened. I quickly flew fast that only blurred was seen as I go outside the palace and head towards the direction my servants told me.


    To think my son has disobeyed me for the first time and headed towards the forbidden area and not to mention accompanied by his two childhood friends.


    I began to ponder why my obedience son suddenly disobeyed me. Then I feel a sudden burst of mana that is coming towards my destination. Fearing I might not make it, I used <<Teleportation>> as I teleports towards my destination.


    What I saw was greatly shocked me, three Rank 9 lion type magical beast crops is laying on the ground with a single hole in their stomach.


    What truly shocked me was the magic was use is a forbidden magic only the limited amount of high fairies could use. Fairies Forbidden magic <<Life Conversion>> it convert 70% of your life force into mana and concentrate your mana on a single point in your body and use it as a weapon. It was highly concentrated that when it touches to something or someone it will immediately explode. .


    I search around the area and found 4 figures not far from the magical beast corps. I slowly descend from the sky and noticed it was I was looking for.


    I saw two girls was around 8 years old, one has a red hair and the other one has a black hair, if it wasn''t for their hair colour you couldn''t tell them apart since they were twins. Fortunately it seems to be the two children was unharmed while they were crying. But it is the opposite from the other two.


    One is the woman in his early 20s. She is one of the two females I assigned to secretly watch lyaga.


    I observed her with unfazed eyes; her body is battered with bruises and a broken sword in her right hand and wounds all over her body as she is kneeling while gasping her breath.


    The other one was my son, laying unconscious on the ground and full of wounds all over his body specially his right arm up to his wrist was gone while the blood is slowly gushing out all over of his wounds.


    My body begins to tremble; I feel dreaded and feel close to lose my consciousness as I see my son while I was in the state of utterly shocked.


    I then look at the woman


    "What happened?"


    With a hint of anger of my voice and I was ready to kill her if I did not like of what she has to say.


    "Your majesty"


    She started her report as she reported to me about when they lost tracks on the kids while they were picnicking beside the river.


    The two servants see the kids while they were playing in the river, splashing water with one another.  The servants as they observed the kids laid their guards down. Thinking they wouldn''t do anything stupid.


    As they were watching the kids playing around in the water, they suddenly disappeared.


    Little did they know is that lyaga already knows they were followed and then thinks of a plan to fool the servants.


    He secretly invokes <<Illusion>> magic on the servants after they laid there guards down and made them see the illusion of the children while they were playing. As the magic wears off and the illusion vanished and the kids were no more, they then began to panicked and searching around.


    They then heard a large roaring noises coming from the one of the forbidden area, they followed the sounds and found my son fighting three lion type magical beast at a same time, while the two kids he bring along is hiding behind the huge bolder looking at Lyaga anxiously.


    If the fight is one on one he could have won but there are three them. Not to mention each of them are more than 20feat tall and more than 45feet in Width as they against my son who was four and half feet tall. He will surely lose.


    He uses all the technique he learned from me magnificently, ranging from magic and martial arts, he even managed to inflict major wounds on one of the three magical beast.


    The magical beast are now quite a bit annoyed as Lyaga was like a fly flying around them with a wing like blade that can cut through anything as he uses his arms and legs for attacking.


    They couldn¡¯t manage land a hit on my son Lyaga. So they change their target and they saw the twins hiding at the back of the boulder. My son noticed the beast as its keep eyeing the girls and becomes alerted and trying to Argo the three beasts on him. But they just ignore my son as they start running towards the twin¡¯s direction.


    As he sees the beasts heading towards the girls direction and he hurriedly dash out and leap at the head of one of the beast and compress his mana around his right leg to make it harden and to act as a extra protection and damage as he kicks down on the head of the beast and knock the divine beast out.


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


    The other two beasts noticed this and sees this as an opportunity to strike lyaga who was still distracted.


    He then sense the two behind him by the nick of time and try to avoid what is coming but it is already too late. One of the beasts managed to land a hit with one of the four claws in front of the body as he is trying to turn around to face them.


    He fell on the ground....


    As I listened to my servants report, my heart tighten and my face distorted with anger as I releases killing intent directly to my servants and made her feel heavy as if a mountain crushes on her.


    She was startled and frightened as she began shivering then she continues her report.


    My two servants were alerted as they see my son lying on the ground and so they joined the fray and start attacking. But unlike my son they didn''t put much of a fight and easily defeated.


    So they decided that one of them is to inform me and get help but they didn''t think I was the one who came rushing after one of servants tells me their location. But I was still too late.


    Seconds later, after the disappearance of one of the servants to get help, one of the magical beasts rushed at the two children that are hiding behind the boulder. The girls saw this and made them frightened mix with worry as they glanced at my son who was unconscious.


    The beasts arrived at the two children''s location. They attack by using its mouth and showing its big sharp teeth. But the one they thought is unconscious suddenly appeared in front of the beast and stopped the attack with his right hand grabbing the snout and his left hand is on front part of the jaw as he looked at the beast with unyielding and resolute showing in his face.


    It made me proud of my son''s brave action but at the same time is afraid as I might lose him.


    My servant didn''t know how he suddenly got there but neither do I, she just told me that she felt a sudden surge of mana at the direction of the beast that is coming towards the two children and suddenly he appeared in front of it who is already bloody wounded and tattered clothes as he breath heavenly and saved the girls.


    The one that he knocked down wakes up and the first thing he saw is my son as it immediately start running towards him, enrage while growls in the process. So as the other beast that was until a while ago stopped attacking after it saw lyaga''s sudden appearance as it watching him with a shock on his face as if it is afraid and mixed with disbelieve.


    The third beast then regain its composure and joins the other one as they simultaneously attack my lyaga to left and to right while still holding the other beast.


    But the servant told me he was mumbling some kind of incantation. As he blocks the attack of the magical beast he suddenly let go of the beast as fast as he could and crouch down and quickly ran below at the beast¡¯s body. My servant told me that his right hand was glowing blue light as he punch the stomach of the beast and a blue beam of light passes through out of the beast back as it sends flying mid air. As the blue light on Lyaga''s right arm fades away. One could only see blood as the skin in his right arm burned in the process after the super-explosive mana concentration.


    Not taking any chances while the two beasts halted their advance as they''re in a state of shock as they still processing of what has happen, he use the same incantation at the one of the two beast who was still dumbfounded. His right hand again started to glowed in light blue as he starting to dashed towards his right direction then jumps at the still dumbfounded beast as he punch at the back of the beast.


    A beam of light blue light passes through out of the stomach of the beast and continues to pass through the ground leaving a perfect one meter radius hole. The beast go limp then die, the last beast regain his sense but it was already too late because his two brethren was dead as he look at Lyaga with a hint of fear.


    Again, at the third time he mumbles the same incantation as he looks at the last beast with pain and anger. The beast senses this and instead of running away, he rushed to my son.


    What the beast feel was not anger or hatred because of his dead brethren but an act of desperation as it thought that it was pointless even the beast ran away as Lyaga dashed and attack the beast unguarded as it intending to collide with him.


    The servant not away from my son was kneeling on the ground and her battered body noticed Lyaga''s distorted face as if he is enduring something and his right hands trembling. She then tries to move as she ran towards the beast.


    The beast didn''t notice that the servant is planning to attack as its solely focused towards lyaga. As he noticed the approaching servant with a sword on her hand as she''s running towards the last beast direction.


    Already finished his preparation, so as the servant as she leap over at the beast back and she keep stabbing the beasts back with her sword repeatedly. The beast was now distracted as it felt a pain in his back and suddenly ran off in direction as it shake off the servant on its back with full of madness and rage in its eyes.


    Lyaga dashed at the beast direction after he finished his preparation. The female servant was thrown out on the back of the beast leaving half of the sword imbedded in the beast''s back as it broke the sword off in half.


    As Lyaga was closer enough, he repeated the same move he did to the first beast he killed. He ran down below the beast and punches the beast stomach, but the third punch didn''t go well as good as the last two. He couldn''t handle the amount of energy coming out from his hand as it disintegrate his right arm up to his wrist in the process but it still fulfilled its purpose. That magic was not meant to use multiple times in a single day and not to mention it shaves lifespan away.


    The light blue beam of light passes through the beast''s back as it sends it flying off midair and landed on the ground and immediately died.


    Soon after, lyaga collapsed on the ground and the two children he brought along was running towards him while crying heavily as they try to shake to wake up him who was unconscious.


    The servant walks limping towards them as she kneels down in front of my son with worried look and checking his pulse, luckily he was still alive but his pulse was slow and need medication. Then I arrived as I descend from the sky.


    That was her whole report. She was trembling and you could hear her teeth clattering as she fear what I will do. After all, she knows, everyone knows I''m capable of.....

    CHAPTER: 2


    Introduction arc


    Conflicted Heart part 2


    Before I met Lyaga, I used to be ruthless and kill anyone I didn''t like. Making others think of me as erratic and unpredictable.


    There was a time where a servant accidentally broke my precious 700 thousand years old vase that was made by the God of Art himself.


    I skin her alive and put an immortality stone replacing his heart so she wouldn''t die.


    I then drags her in hell alive and ask my Best friend to lock her to the deepest floor in hell where she can suffer the worst pain known to all.


    Since hell is only for the dead sinners and anyone who are alive there will suddenly burn and turn into ashes, The immortality Stone filled its purpose as its immediately healed all the burn marks in his body and she will forever be there as her body and soul will burn and regenerate at the same time.


    Believe it or not it doubles the pain you get because your flesh and soul burned at the same time.


    But when my son finds out, he ask me to let her go and so I did.


    I was different from anyone for I was one of the many First Pairs who came into existence in the Heavens Realm. It means my pair is the only 99% compatible for me.


    Each pair has different body structure to the other pairs, some are humanoid and some are looked like a beast.


    My pair and I was the former.


    We don''t know how we came into existence. It was like we were in dazed and suddenly becomes conscious or was lower life forms back then. And then someone or something suddenly poured us knowledge and wisdom. And no matter how we try to search and investigate we can''t find the answer as if some higher being prevented us mentally, so we decided to never delve into that area and focus was is in front of us.


    Brother and sister while others are husband and wife that was we called of the First Pair as they can reproduce and have children.


    But I on the other hand viewed my pair as a brother figure as I do not feel intimate towards him and he respects my decision.


    We are not the only one who feels the same way. It is the same as some other Pairs as they agreed just to create or make their own races in their own image, it was one of our innate ability which we unconsciously known. But only the appearance of our creations was copied but not is the same in terms of strength and power as they are a thousand times weaker than ours.


    I was satisfied of our creation. But my brother did not, he watched the other Pairs that is having an actual children. As they grew up, they have gained most of the power of their parents and later they''d be known to be called Gods.


    My brother grew jealous as he watched the children who can do amazing things like their parents.


    While the creation on the other hand, not only they were weaker and weak minded they even worshipped and revered the children and made them more degraded themselves.


    My brother keeps remodelling our designs and tampering them as he tries to imitate the other Pairs children as he see them fly like us.


    My brother then made a pair of beautiful wings in our creation.


    When he saw the children didn''t grow old.


    He then gives our creation the abilities of nature so they can absorb nature''s natural life energy to remain young.


    We still didn''t know how magic work proficiently back then since and we were still on our early paces of discoveries and was only relying on divine energy to controlling natural phenomenon which was too destructive.


    He keeps remodelling until our creation split into different categories.


    He became mad, our creation who once one type of species turned into many, some made to be beautiful with pointy ears, some has a brute strength in exchange they turned ugly. Some even has a humanoid upper body while the lower half was different and was made into bodies of an animals, fish, reptile and even insects.


    He reached his limit. My brother''s frustration and the jealousy turned into madness.


    That night as I watching one of our creations while they play around as they dance and play music. It made my heart warmed and smiled gently.


    But my brother who drowned with madness suddenly attacks me from behind. But I quickly get away from his clutches since I was stronger than him physically.


    I ask him why did he attack me as I hesitates to fight him since he is my brother, but that changes all as he tried to force himself on me, then he said.


    "I want a child.......a real child!""


    That what he said so I became alerted and feared for the worst, but I was still reluctantly to attack him. We lived together for as long as I remembered, so how could I.


    My brother who used to be gentle now has become crazy. I then ask myself. Is this what will happen if a jealousy turned into obsession then turn into madness? But the fact that my brother¡¯s situation fit my question must be the fact.


    He was swaying while walking as if a living crops as he walking towards me.


    I tried to move but I can''t, I then looked below me and there was magic circle my brother created while unnoticed.


    While I specialized in barrier magic my brother on the other hand is specialized in sealing magic.


    A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.


    Now I can''t move. He got closer to me and then ripped my clothes off. You could see my visible white beautiful pair of mounds and the tip of each mound was a pink peach nipples.


    I covered my breast with both of my hands as I began crying, begging for my brother to stop as I tells him that it is not too late.


    He then ripped my lower clothes. He looks at my lower part with a lust on his face.


    I tried to cover it with my hand and my other hand is to covering my breast.


    He did not let me though as he grab my two hand and put a restrictions magic in it and automatically forcefully raised my two hands and made me exposed all my private parts as I laid on the ground.


    All I could do was cried and cried, until our creations heard my whimpering. I must unconsciously used telepathic to call for help. They try to help me as they starting attacking my brother.


    Usually our creations subconsciously and physically can''t attack their creator but in my brother''s current state, he has lost all his reasoning¡¯s and the creation didn''t recognize him, that even I do not know the answer.


    He is not my brother anymore.


    As I somehow got freed from my brother''s spell. Something inside me snap....my usual caring aura turns cold.


    Something or someone inside of me telling me to ¡®KILL THEM ALL'' I laughed out loud as it echoed throughout the surroundings.


    I look at my brother as I laughed hysterically with killing intent overflowing in me.


    While he was busy dealing with flies/creation around him, he suddenly felt a killing intent and turns around and saw my devilishly laughing face and the side of my mouth stretching up to my ears.


    My brother shrieks and stumbles on the ground out of surprised and mixed with fear.


    I then active my strongest attack type barrier and covers up to 20 miles radius.


    We were born or created by someone or something along the information of how to use magic. It isn''t meaning we know how to invoke them. You have to trigger something or the so called insight before you can use it. And usually we can only focus one or two magic art to master.


    <<Barrier of Domination>>


    Believe it or not, I developed this magic to protect my brother. We were weak back then in our first years as we roams throughout the heaven''s lands, what can you expect from a barrier that can only shield us from attack and sealing magic just to seal their movements.


    As my frustration grew and helplessness I triggered this magic for wanting to dominates those who want to harm me and my brother.


    It was my strongest attack barrier type magic. Inside the barrier it will allow me to rule the wills of any creature inside.


    And to think the one who I want to protect and caused me to develop this kind of magic is the one who will try first hand and be killed by it.


    Usually the First Pairs has the ability to dispelling any magic thrown on them by rewriting the composition of the magic that is form, but that is known not to all. As we the First Pair still but a young, curious and still developing mentally, magically and physically back then. We tend to be secretive to others, fearing that they might steal from us.


    My brother noticed he loses his power and didn''t know what happened. It is the same as the creation, those who can fly by using magic was beginning to falls on the ground. Some died by the impact some has broken bones.


    My brother looked at me. I was walking towards him with my clothes ripped from earlier and showing all my private parts, but I didn''t mind because my eyes filled with anger, distrust and betrayal. I who used to be harmless and didn''t like violence I couldn''t even hurt an ant has now becomes a ruthless being.


    And for the first time in my life......I killed


    I first killed my brother as he ran away from me after he sees me smiled sadistically at him. I first burn his right foot into ashes. He cried begging for forgiveness, I didn''t listen of course.


    I then burn his left foot and into ashes and he''s starting to crawling on the ground getting away from me.


    I hear he''s screaming and begging as he crawls on the ground like and insect he is, I starting to laughed hysterically all this time that I didn''t even know I am capable of before.


    I then stop his movement using my authority as a dominator in this place and made him face into the sky. As I draw closer, a word fear is written in his face, as I slowly approaching him.


    ¡°¡®giggle¡¯ let¡¯s play dear shitty brother¡± Then starts torturing him.


    I didn''t want to remember that part but after I killed my brother I let my barrier explode and everything within inside the barrier died including some of our creations as they turn to ashes.


    As a time goes by, as I travel across the realms and facing dangerous encounters with many dangerous monster. I turned me into a monster itself as I was getting stronger.


    And as times goes by.


    I witnessed some of our creation that still alive and since I didn''t have things to do, I changed my appearance into a younger version of myself as I mingle with them and disguise as a 12 years old.

 Volume 1_Introduction Arc_Chapter 3

    CHAPTER: 3


    Introduction arc


    Conflicted Heart part 3


    I did slowly change as a time goes by after I met Lyaga. Since he was a baby he didn''t cry nor give me problems as I was strict to him when it comes to educating him.


    And when he was five, a lesser God kidnap my little Lyaga. That lesser god worm was one of the many stalkers I have encountered. Even though I have an appearance of a 12 years old, I still carries my unmatched Godly beauty when I was in mature state and made any male crazy when they sees me.


    So when those worms find out about my Little Lyaga, one of them kidnapped him in exchange for me as they thinking I was an easy catch.


    Well that proven to be wrong fufufu......I arrived to the said location, when I got there I see 20 lesser God smirking at me. Since this day and age only a handful of people knows me and all of them is very much and ancient and so called relics of the forgotten past.


    In the present day, Gods categorized base on their elements. And forms a clan with their element as its name, for example is the Lightning God clan governs lightning or Ice God clan and so on.....


    It¡¯s pretty stupid if you ask me. It happens after the second generation was born. They were the first burn¡¯s children, meaning the First Pairs grandchildren. And it seems that the grandchildren can only have one element.


    The First Pairs didn''t know how did that happed but later on they says it is the will of the universe since we/they themselves didn''t know their owns identity, for the First Pairs exists since after the beginning of the creation of the first Realm or so we called the Heavens Realm.


    They are starting to rank themselves as.


    Lesser Gods > Great Gods > Greater God> True God


    As they notice that the heaven is now very much crowded which is not. Believe me I tried to explore the still unexploded places in heaven but only 5% has been known to us. All of the First pairs mysteriously exist in a same location.


    We couldn¡¯t get along to each other. Big or small skirmished always happens, fighting over territories. But for the sake of survival, we cooperate to one another to clear off the dangerous monsters and making a territory of our own.


    A/N: imagine the Heavens Realm as a size of a galaxy.


    I laughed out loud when my when Best friend informs me about the new laws and she then offered me a sit to join True God which I turned down respectfully since I choose to lived in the Mortal Realm and stay hidden for seclusion.


    But later on I joined them after.....


    A/N: find out why she joined at the later chapter.


    She explained the idea to me about the dividing the territories we have accumulated in Heavens Realm into a three parts named


    True Realm: For the True Gods


    Greater Realm: For the Greater Gods


    Great Realm: For the Great Gods and Lesser Gods


    I may not join their ranks but I joined the creation of the realms, since only the First Pair can alter the places in the Heavens Realm. With the help of 500 Pairs we create a very huge dome like structure. And within the dome is another dome and within it is another dome. It will keep the weaker gods from being killed in the future.


    AUTHOR''S NOTE: IMAGINE THE DOME AS A SIZED OF 10 SOLAR SYSTEM COMBINE IT STILL VERY SMALL COMPAIRED THE WHOLE HEAVEN. LIKE A STONE IN THE MOUNTAIN.


    Believe me; outside of our territory there are many creatures that rival the powers of the First Pairs.


    We called them ¡®Heavenly monsters¡¯. They are mid intelligence, more aggressive, and dangerous that is living in the Heavens Realm. They''re varied in different forms, some are like the animals living on the Mortal Plane but are hundred times or more powerful and has a divine energy within them, some are truly like a abomination that causes a wide destruction. And we usually treat them as a source of food since they are the only animals capable living there.


    But what truly is dangerous is called the God Eaters. They are pretty barbaric creatures and smarter than any Heavenly monsters not to mention they can transform into a humanoid form.


    There is also God Eaters in the Mortal Plane but compare it to the God Eaters living in the Heavens Realm; it¡¯s like comparing earth and sky, as they are more powerful and bigger than them.


    Aside from Gods, some mortals also revered and worship the God Eaters as Gods. What would you expect from the mortals, they believe what they want to believe. Well if you ask me, God Eaters exist to be balancers as they are the embodiment of chaos and destruction while the Gods is Creation.


    As the time passes the name God Eaters was changed, because the younger Gods think of it as a insult to them, since they are depicted as to devouring the gods.


    And the mortals also change its name since It was forgotten as a millennia passes and will be known from now on as Dragons which is widely accepted of all kind.


    Many things have happened after the creation of the 3 parts of the Heavenly Realms within the Dome.


    The lesser gods has been thrown into the Mortal Realm as to serve as a Gods for the mortals. Some sort of emissary to the ¡®Great God¡¯.


    Only the First Pairs is allowed into the True Realm on the centre of the dome and the smallest of the 3 parts and also has the densest heavenly energy.


    Then the Greater Realm, it is only for the Greater Gods which is the children of the ''First Pairs'' and the second smallest of the 3 parts.


    And the Great Realm is for the grandchildren and their descendants. This is the most chaotic realm. Since the Great Gods encouraged war and power struggle.


    The Great gods was the one who proposed the idea to form a clan.


    After they indifferent themselves from the other Great Gods of other elements and comes in dispute who was the most powerful Great Gods and Lesser Gods in terms of elements.


    But it didn''t include the Greater Gods because they think it is very childish and they have grown tired of them. Not only the Great Gods interact with the mortals, they even having children with them and creating a abomination called Demi Gods. Not to mention they are full of greed and enjoys much mortal pleasure and tried to overthrow the Greater Gods, their parents.


    Since the event when the Great God was trying to overthrow the Greater Gods. The Greater Gods finally stops loving their children and their descendants as they see only darkness in them.


    The Greater Gods and their parents have now secluded themselves on the 2nd part of the Heavens Realm. They are now becomes a legend to the Lesser Gods as their Great Gods elders tells them stories when they still roams the 3rd part of the Heaven Realms and how they regretted what they did before, as they keep looking at the invisible barrier separate them from them with longing and regret in their eyes.


    Little did the know, they still come and go within the barrier as they have their own problems regarding the Dragons and other wild creatures around the barrier as they are supervising the protection around the barrier.


    The Lesser Gods are allowed to enter the Great Realm, but with the permission of the Great Gods.


    And the Lesser Gods who was allowed to go in is considered as a high class amongst the Lesser Gods.


    And since the Great Gods was the one who proposes the clan system, they send one Great God representative of each element to the Mortal Realm to act as a leader and supervisor.


    So yeah, Lesser Gods are just the wasted products thrown out to the Mortal Realm, basically worms.


    I looked at the 20 male Lesser Gods and I see in their eyes is full of lust as they smirking at me and some of them licking his lips.


    hmp.....just as you expected from the a Lesser Gods, since they have been thrown out from the Heaven Realm long enough, they slowly becomes greedy as they influenced by the mortals who are more greedy than they are, not to mention the Lesser Worms grew up in the Mortal Plane.


    Even before I met Lyaga, I encountered similar to this scenario and I lost count how many I killed.


    I look at them as I ask with a calm voice.


    "Where is my son?"


    Everyone gasp their breath after hearing my voice which capable to charm any person hearing them. They then regain their composure and returned their smirks and eyes of greediness.


    I threatened them with a piercing eyes but instead of being scared, they just laughed at it as they thought I was adorable even when angry which is true, most of my enemies thinks so to, before they end up dead.


    "Brothers! It looks like we have a tough one here"


    "Second brother, allow me" A man in his 20s walks in front to me as he smiled gently which disgust me and he has a face that any woman could fall for.


    "Allow me to introduced myself, I am Merlon from the Lightning God Clan"


    The man smiles at me then introduced himself and his clan as he put his right hand on his chest and bowed.


    "I presumed you worms belong to the lighting clan"


    I look at the one called Merlon as I ask him a question.


    Everyone''s faces distorted with anger including the man who introduced himself a while ago as I insult them and calling them worms that they are.


    "You fairy bitch!!!! Do you know who we are?"


    The other man shouts at me as his face distorted with anger and a spark like lighting is coming out in his right hand as if to show who I''m dealing with. A bunch of worms shout at me and insulted me!!!


    "I ask the same question, who you think you are!!!" my voice was loud as it vibrates throughout the surroundings.


    """"Hahahaha"""""


    As expected of a Lesser Worms, they can''t even judges someone''s strength, hehe....just keep laughing because that will me your last laugh. But as I waited the laugher to finally over, I grew impatient then ask again.


    "For the last time and I will not repeat myself, where is my son"


    The laughter died down and man who introduced himself earlier who I completely forgotten his name already came forward. But this time a gentle smile early change into a wicked one.


    "Fairy bitch, do you know who you¡¯re talking to, I am the heir of th rAaaAaaaaaAAAAAA"


    I keep quiet but the Lesser Worm in front of me keeps blabbering garbage. I was already annoyed since earlier so.....


    I snapped my fingers and the Lesser Worm in front of me slowly decaying and it lasted in 3 excruciating second before the Lesser Worm completely melted.


    The magic I used was taught by my Best friend. It¡¯s a higher form of < <Decaying>> magic. Its quite useful since I mainly used this magic against my enemies and use their bodies that I brought home as a fertilizer for the plants, flowers and trees in my palace garden which by the way was my son''s favourite place as I teach him there all the time.


    A Gods body surely was convenient in many ways.


    The rest of the Lesser Worms was dumbfounded since one of them instantly die. The one with the already ugly face became uglier as his face distorted in anger. His body engulf in lightning as he dashed with a speed that ordinary people could only see a trails of spark around.


    But in my eyes, his speed is like a turtle in its fastest speed which was still very slow.


    I do not need to move as I already can control every element known to all. I just use my mind and controlled the ground in front of the Ugly Worm''s direction.


    I elevate the ground in front of the ugly Worm and forms a spear made of earth as it pierced it into the man''s chest in the heart area and instantly die.


    In the real time, it happens in just a split of seconds, but to the Lesser Worms it is quite unbelievable spectacle of speed and power.


    It seems the one who attack me was their leader.


    My already bad mood becomes sourer as I see the Lesser Worms becomes more annoying as their stupid faces shrouded with fear, some is trying to get away but I manipulate the earth around the area and covered the whole lower half of the body of all the Lesser Worms.


    They can usually easily escape the earth that bounds them since their still gods, but the one who cast them was me so it''s impossible.


    The arrogance before turned into fear as they beginning to beg me to me to spare them.


    This stupid Lesser Worms. Didn''t I ask earlier where is my son and I won''t repeat again? Yet they keep begging for their lowly worm like life.


    I keep killing them by compressing the earth that bounds them up to their waist and crushed it, one after another until 9 of them were left.


    Yet they keep begging and begging so I continued.


    Only five of them are left. I was about to kill another one of the worms, one of the Worms talk.


    "Yyyour Sssson"


    The Lesser Worms who talked was the one that I was about to kill.


    Finally!!! They could just tell me where my son is and we will be on our way, but what would you expect to a Lesser Worms fufufu.....


    I was laughing inward.


    I waited as I released the earth that binds the one who spoke earlier and waited. He then began chanting <<Dimensional Pocket>> huh, hmp.... It''s one of the magic that separate the Gods From mortals because only the gods could create their own dimensional pocket without using an artefacts¡¯.


    Then after his chanting has ended, a large magic circle appears in front of him and I saw my son on the middle of the circle laying on the ground unconscious. I was happy and so as the 5 Lesser Worms because they can keep their Worm like life. I then release their earth binding since i have no use to them as I ran towards my son happily.


    "Lyaga!" I shouted happily with and a small tears drops between my eyes. As I getting nearer to my unconscious son, I halted my movements as I began to shaken as walk slower towards my son.


    I felt anger as I release killing intent which stops the five man on their tracks as they are about to leave.


    They were happy earlier as they''re hugging each other while crying and as when they were about to leave.


    They felt the biggest killing intent they have experienced. A much larger than what they have felt when their clan leader who was a Great God, as when he released his killing intent to warn the new borne that if there is a beings was who was much stronger than the gods living amongst us you must avoid them in any cost and specially do not venture the innermost unexplored forest located in the centre of the Mortal Realm, they were warned with a serious face coming from their Great God clan leader who was usually very arrogant and likes to look down on Mortals.


    He didn''t care about the Lesser Worms since they are below him, but he cared about himself and the clan for losing foothold in the Mortal Realm.


    But one lesser god was curious as he tried to explore the forest, as he goes deeper he sees Silviana who was teaching a boy some magic at the side of the small clear lake.


    The lesser god as he saw Silviana was love struck.


    He then informs the other youth in their clan about the beautiful girl and tried to help him get the girl since gods can do anything as they please.


    They spied at her and gathered enough information and found Silviana''s weakness. It was his son and kidnaps him when his mother was away.


    But they didn''t expect I was strong and thought of me as a fairy which is a lesser beings. They then died one by one and they couldn''t do anything about it.


    I look at my son as I reach my hand in his right cheeks and saw a small slice and the blood is already dried out.


    "I..I can expl.aHhHH" before the man said a word I use <<Decaying>> magic on him then died.


    I swing my right arm then a blade of winds cuts through the remaining Worm''s head as they were trying to flee.


    How they a Lesser Worm hurt my son!! I healed my son''s wound in the right cheeks. After I healed the wounds I used <<Teleportation>> magic as its transports us in his room as I laid him down in his bed then left.


    I used <<Teleportation>> again and teleports me in the base of the Lightning God castle, I just passed the barrier that surrounded it like a thin paper.


    And wreck havoc as I kill all the members of Lightning God clan. Some ran away from me, but I used gravity to make their bodies heavy and is getting heavier until they becomes a bloody paste.


    Some bowed down in front of me, but I just passed him and keeps walking. The poor Worm seems to be happy and starting to laugh.


    While he still bowing while laughing, I used <<Gravity>> on him and made him like a flat bloody frog.


    But the Worms seems to be smart enough and organized quickly and used some kind of combined magic.


    All of the worms grouped together while they holding hands in a circular form and began a long chant.


    Stupid worms, who would want to wait to get attacked and who would like to get attacked. But I still waited to finish their 30 sec chant as I was thinking to surprise them and also entertaining me.


    The clouds are now getting darker and it swirling at top of me, you could see sparking around the clouds and I am at up to the centre of it ready to strike.


    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    The worms have finished their chant and suddenly purple lightning descended from the centre of the clouds and hits me. It continued to descend like a snake and seems to be not stopping until I was dead.


    Of course the worms were happy and began to barging me with cursed words. They see me as I was engulfed by the purple lightning.


    It didn''t hurt me one bit. Now it¡¯s my turn.


    The worms continued their cursing on me, thinking I die with just this tiny bolt of electricity. I suddenly raised my arms. The Worms was dumbfounded they didn''t think I was still alive as I was just standing there like a statue.


    After I suddenly raised my arms, the purple lightning suddenly disappeared. But the dark clouds were still there and the sparking is not heard as if it is recharging silently which is right.


    "Wwhat hhappen" ask the one of the Lesser Worms.


    "H..hurry attaaAAaAa"


    I didn''t finish the other worm¡¯s sentence. Since a bigger purple lightning descend at the top of their heads and is enough to engulf the 30 worms and turned into cinders without leaving a single flesh.


    That''s right, it was pretty anticlimactic. I keep killing while I leisurely walking towards the main castle.


    I head towards the deeper section of their biggest castle and found the leader who was a Great God as I was ready to kill him. I ask.


    "Are you ready to die?"


    The Lightning God was shaking in fear as he mustered his last sentence as he answer.


    "What did we do to offend you!!"


    I answered "Your kin kidnapped my son and wounded him"


    And kills him with a wind blade as his head rolling on the floor with a face of shocked and disbelieve.


    On that day, the lightning clan was no more and the other clan was alerted as they thinking that the lightning clan has offend someone inside the unexplored forest and it will also be a great example to those other Lesser Worms to never offend the beings inside the Unexplored forest.


    Don¡¯t get me wrong I was just protecting my son as I was thinking that the Worms might take revenge if  I let them lived and I was just one step ahead of them.


    And did I mention that while I was killing the Worms I saw an underground room and was curious so I head there and as I opened it even without using a hand. What I saw was a hundred of naked mortal females, some are elf, humans and mostly of them came from the beast man race.


    There can be only one word that released in my mouth. "Disgusting"


    I became expressionless as I saw many girls mumbling about ''for the gods'' with and expressionless face. Clearly they are broken beyond repairs, some of them were pregnant and some of them was already given birth but I see the mother didn''t care about the new born baby and just laying on the ground with an expressionless face as the baby tries to crawl up to feed on its mother''s breast.


    That''s right; the Lesser Gods has now been degraded and become a lowlife. I may not care about anybody aside from Lyaga but I know what is the Lesser Worms was doing.


    The power struggle in the 3rd Realms, as the time passes; the lesser Worms becomes to many and nearly reached 2 millions, and uses this as an opportunity to wage war against each other. And their power struggle came all the way to the Mortal Realm.


    As the war goes on, the greediness of the Great gods goes up to another level; they ordered the lesser gods do reproduce many children to make use of them for the war against the other clans. And it doesn''t matter if mortal or not so long it uses divine elements.


    The worms orders the country of mortals they rules and tells them that they needed Celestial Maidens to serve them as wives, but the truth was grimmer, as the Celestial Maidens came happily into the hands of the gods, they were forced into a group sex to make sure a baby is ensured.


    They realized the reality, the Gods they serve was just a lowlife like them with just a little bit higher powers than them


    I pity them, after all I was almost becomes one of them when my shitty brother tried to raped me


    But I didn''t feel remorse.


    I walk away at the scene as if I didn''t see it. Before I leave, I activated my  <<Barrier of Domination>> to the entire Lightning God clan''s territory and covers the whole 20 miles radius including the mountains around the premises  and scorching the whole area with an intense fire, making the mountain that the base stand melted to the intense heat and  made the Whole area flat.  ''Smirk''


    After I finished my task, I returned home and my servant said to me that my son was awake. I then hurriedly open the door in his room.


    "Lyaga!" I then hugged my son who was sitting in the bed.


    He was shocked because I usually cold and strict to my son and he ask me.


    "Did......something happen?"


    He was still shocked and disbelief.


    I answer his question. I really want to cut some of my stories because it¡¯s gruesome. And for some reason I can''t seem to lie to my son and told him every details including the part I killed all the Lesser God form the Lightning clan and their Great God leader.


    I was seating at the side of the bed as I looked down and holds my two hands while I was trembling. It was my first time to feel afraid after killing someone. I was afraid because my little Lyaga might leave me, after all. In my story I was like a villain.


    My son then stands up on the bed. My first thought is that after he stands up.


    I was thinking he might use this as an opportunity to badmouth me or even hurt me which is I will readily welcome openly, after all I am bad mother.


    I seldom give him a rest and no time to play as I made him more occupied with his studies and more studies as I keep stuffing knowledge inside that tiny head of his.


    He might use this as an opportunity to badmouth me or hurt me.


    As I was sitting beside the bed while I slightly crouching down as I hold my hand while trembling. My thoughts went blank when I feel a soft warm small hand warping around me, my mind froze in a second.


    "Mother.."


    My son said with a clear, gentle and beautiful childish voice.


    "W.wwhat"


    I was stuttering and was nervous but my trembling stops after a warm feeling as my son hugs me.


    "You''ve taken care of me since I was a baby. When I was three you start teaching many things. And if I didn''t get a full score, you made me do it repeatedly until I perfected it, I become smart enough to read people''s thought base on their expressions alone, after all you''re the who taught me."


    I keep quiet as I listen at my son as he continues.


    "When I was four, I began to questioning my existence. Why am I different to anybody else? I watched others can do exactly the same as the other one. I was jealous and afraid at the same time. Jealous because I was different and mostly afraid because I might be abandoned if we¡¯re not useful to you"


    I was surprised at the last sentence and look up at see my son with a sign of pain on his face and made my heart aches and guilt for not loving him enough that he thinks he was not loved. He continues.


    "There is one time I completed a difficult task, then you smiled. For the first time you smiled at me. Then it suddenly comes to me. As long as I can see that smile again, that sweet and gentle smile to me heart will be content. I already accepted the fact that if I don''t do good enough to pleased you I will be thrown out so I work very hard thinking I will receive a smile coming from you again"


    My tears won¡¯t stop flowing, my throat becomes dry. I didn''t know my son lingering such dark thoughts or maybe I just choose to ignore it.


    It''s true, there was one time that my son accomplished a difficult task I give him last time, and I subconsciously smiled at him.


    I was always proud of him, he was smart and he already learned and mastered almost half of my knowledge I known.


    I give him tasks after he mastered a new knowledge and skills coming from me and try it first hand as he will not be ignorant when he uses it in a life and death situations.


    He clumsily did some of task I give him as I secretly watch him, but not one time the task I gives him failed. I was always proud of him but I didn''t show it to my son as I was afraid and I was unfamiliar of this feelings slowly getting in me.


    My past bloody self still linger in me as I was rouge, merciless and lack of emotions and kills anyone I came across until I met Lyaga.


    I didn''t even save his mother even though she can still be save, and out of whim, pity, curiosity I saved the baby that was Lyaga.


    But the pity, whim, curiosity turned into a warmth and salvation to me as I greedily spoiled myself and not thinking about my son''s point of view until now.


    I bursts into tears as I hug my son tightly who has a pained face in his face as he tells me his point of views of me.


    Then a realization comes to me.


    A flashback comes in my mind as I see my son when he comes back after he finished his task with a tattered dirty clothes but it did not matter to him as he wears bright smile in his face and he looks at me with expectant eyes but the only thing I give him was my usual cold look and gives him a cold shoulder. Then I said.


    "Next time do it properly" I said that with no hint of remorse.


    "Y..yes" His voice was wavering as he suddenly stand straight. The bright smile was changed into a force smile and his eyebrows meet each other as it goes up when it meets one another and I could see clearly in his eyes that he was forcing something inside him to not to burst out.


    I walk away and didn''t look back at that time. When I saw his tattered dirty looks and some scratches all over his body, my heart suddenly tightens and I thought this feeling was a disdain.


    But now, after my son disappeared I became restless and powerless as I could only wait for a news regarding the disappearance of my son, then a servant came in with a letter and it tells about some Worms kidnapped my son and if I do not come he will kill my son.


    Out of frustration and anger I disintegrate the servants that give me the letter. And walks outside the castle and fly in a speed of light. I arrived at the meeting site and saw not one but 20 Lesser Worms. I kill them one by one out of frustration and impatience.


    Then one worm finally confessed as he pulls out my son off the in Dimensional pocket. I could just killed all of them instantly and search their Lesser Core if my son was in there but I did not for I was pissed.


    But when I saw my son as I hurriedly ran towards him but then I saw a wound on his cheeks. Suddenly my view turns red and I kill the rest of the worms.


    I then transport my unconscious son towards his room and I teleport in the Lightning God clan¡¯s base as I kill all of their members out of vengeance.


    I cried heavily as I hug my son and I ask for forgiveness about what I''ve done. We keep hugging each other until my tears were no more. He said.


    "You don''t have anything to apologized mother; after all you did raise me properly and as grew I come to understand and realized your personality"


    "What ''sniff'' personality?¡± I ask my son as I didn''t know what is he''s talking about.


    "Hm...Let see...Oh yeah, about after I mastered my sense, since then I could feel you and were watching far away from me. Then there is one time when Aunt came to visit when you were away and say about you personally sends a servant in hell because she just broke a base............"


    He keeps talking about my good and bad personality but mostly bad since it outweighs my good personality. I was embarrass of course and my face is bright red, after all he tells me what embarrass me the most as I keep it hidden within me. He then talks about what he heard from my Best friend when we were on an adventure together.


    I bury my face in his little chest out of embarrassment and after he stops talking, I ask him.


    "You¡¯re not mad at me"


    "Do you regret adopting me?"


    My question was placed on another question; I was surprised and quickly raised my head as I look at my son''s face who was smiling brightly.


    "I course not" that was I said


    "Then that''s your answer"


    He smiled gently at me, as he pat my head with his small little hand and gently strokes it. When he pats my head, I feel that the heavy feeling which was accumulated throughout the years since my brother''s event completely disappears.


    He then said.


    "No matter what you are, what you did in the past, or what will you become...."


    He pauses and he hug me tightly as his right hand is stroking my head then he continues.


    "Even you hated me. Even you will hate yourselves, even the world¡¯s end"


    My tears that I thought was gone are starting to flow as if a new oasis was found inside of me.  This is a new hope a new start.


    "I will always there for you and support you"


    I hear his every words loud and clear and as if each of those words is like a magic spell that have been engraved my very own heart and soul so that I will not remember.


    "You promise"


    I look at my little Lyaga who was still five, yet his every words contains many meanings and he was more mature than me. Is it because of my cold personality and my teaching made him mature quickly? or is it the fact that he thought I will abandon him if he will not be the best of the best and made him pressured.


    Only my Lyaga will know, but in fact I was mostly to blame why he turned the way he is now made me guilty and my heart is in pain when I think of it.


    There may be someone or some places has/have ability to where the time is slower and where time is faster. But not I have seen places or someone can come and go travel across time. For the universe prevent us to do so as we might or we will destroy ourselves in the process.


    I have thought of this for I hurt my son and it cannot be change.


    But my son didn''t blame me nor he curses me and he was more grateful of what he becomes because of me. He accepted all of me.


    I forever remember what I did to Lyaga for the rest of my life.


    As I look at Lyaga with a reassuring eyes as he swear to me that he will accepted all of me.


    "Yes I promise"


    Yet another word was engraved into my heart and soul I will forever remember for the rest of my life.


    "Really"


    He smiled at me brightly which I thought I didn''t deserve, he look at me and saw my still doubtful face.


    Then he close his eyes while crossing his small arms, I see his expression keeps changing by the second as if he was conflicted by something. He then opens his eyes and I see his eyes were shining. He said


    "Mom, can you close your eyes for a moment"


    I was startled but I ask him while my eyes were still red and swollen after crying as I look at him.


    "Why" I ask.


    "Hm....let¡¯s see. Since you still doubtful of me, I will use a magic that will seal a deal"


    "Ancient magic?"


    I ask him, since ancient magic was the only capable of making deals of a higher being like me, and my son...let¡¯s see, I didn''t remember teaching him magic that makes deals, because it is still early for him.


    Not only it consumes more mana, magic that uses deals is absolute and can''t break easily.


    "No... Auntie taught me this kinds of magic and is fairly safe to anyone to use without consequences. Auntie gives me the spell book that was made by humans, I was having hard time to decipher and translate it since you haven''t taught me to read and write human language"


    He is right about that; I didn''t teach him human language. Why would I teach my son a language used by the lower life forms called human. But the fact that my Best friend gives my son a spell book made by the humans must not be ignored.


    "So....how does it work?"


    "You just close your eyes and I will to the rest"


    Usually magic contracts use blood to make contracts, but he just asks me to close my eyes.


    I ask Lyaga and he gives me reassuring eyes that you can trust without any hesitation. As I look in his eyes my heart suddenly beats faster. A new emotions surging in me yet I can''t tell what is it.


    "Then...i''m in your care then"


    I said and closed my eyes as I waiting what is coming.


    "Here I go ''cough''......I Lyaga, promised I will protect and love Silviana of the Fairy Realm, Queen of the Fairies, as I forever by her side In sicknesses and in health and today and forever"


    What a weird incantation, but yet every words every sentence he said was so heavy for a child to carry.


    He still continued, and made me go blushed because of the embarrassing words and confession, yet his every word he said carry a determination and power in it.


    Human magic huh.....they were weird even their existence is weird. They are one of the many creatures natives in the Mortal Plane as they naturally evolved from a lower intelligence species into a higher intelligent.


    To be continuing........

    Conflicted Heart part 4 &


    THE MORTAL REALM


    Part: 1


    The first time we discovered the existence of the Mortal Realm we were utterly shock, since in the Heaven Realm is so big that we considered it to be flat and we don''t have days as it was always nothing but a twilight as only star glittering very far away.


    But it is different in the Mortal Realm, we saw a big sphere made out of earth and water as the gravity holds them together. It was protected with an atmosphere that allows life forms to lived as the freezing dark space surrounded it. And the only the source of light is the 4 satellites that revolving around the giant sphere made of earth and water and a big ball of fire, far away from it.


    Humans were the biggest population in the Mortal Realm as they relying not to individual power but their huge numbers as they nearly reaching 10 billion and created thousands of kingdoms and empires.


    And they were the greediest of all the mortals.


    AUTHORS NOTE: IMAGINE THE MORTAL REALM IS THE SIZE OF OUR SUN, AND DONT ASK ME HOW IT''S REVOLVE AND IM STICKING TO 24 HOURS A DAY. IT''S A FANTASY DEAL WITH IT!!!!, ITS NOT LIKE YOU TO COMPLAIN SINCE I KNOW SOME OF YOU LOVED STELLAR TRANSFORMATION TYPES HEHEHE......


    Part: 2


    As we opened a portal through the Mortal Realm, we came out outside as we see a Sphere of earth and water in the void of space as we the ''First Pairs'' looked upon down below.


    We then descended like meteors and hundreds of us scattered everywhere in a different directions as we carried our otherworldly different forms, curious and excited.


    Civilizations everywhere some lived on the caves, some lived in the forest, some lived in the water, some lived in grass planes and some lived in the harshest lands.


    Different face and different races, we have explored them all but none of them are as strong as us.


    We even discovered God Eaters but as we tried to fight them out of fear and anger we realized, we realized something....


    Their breath can only blown up a pieces of land but the creatures back home can blown up a 10 miles radius without leaving any trail. Using their breath attack as it leaves nothingness to their wakes.


    They can only have one element out of the five elements they have which are fire, earth, water, darkness, light.


    They were weak, that¡¯s what we thought.


    So we decided to ignore them and they also feared us as they used to be the most powerful being in the Mortal Realm but in front of us they were just children bumping into a solid wall.


    Back home, if it wasn''t for the fact that we have the ability to create life by the power of <<Creation>> you can''t tell us apart.


    For if we can use <<Creation>> then the God Eaters can use <<Destruction>> and this power comes with different forms.


    Their powers were weird and mysterious as it materialized into different weapons they called <<Soul Gear>>.


    It was a power we unable to copy.


    A/N:You will found out the God Eaters at the later chapter in the Uncle''s POV I try not to be spoiler.


    We watched the mortals on how they''ve behave, how they''re weak, their personality and so on. But we didn''t do anything as we are still cautious around them.


    And a time goes by, as we observed the mortals we discovered that none of them knew each other, since the Mortal Realm was still young and races was still evolving


    The world is full of monsters, it''s in the waters, it''s in the air, it''s in the forest. It''s in the land.


    Yes, it''s everywhere.


    We understand them. The fear of the unknown and didn''t dared to ventured long distances. We also suffer the same way when we were still ignorant of whom we are.


    We came to realize the helplessness of the mortals so we decided to build portals to connect them to one another so they can explore new places and new races, meeting new faces.


    We returned home and gathered materials for the portal since there are some components needed to make the portal that doesn''t exist in the Mortal Realm as we bring it to their world and was already readymade.


    The mortals was mystified for they didn''t know or learn magic back then, and see altars suddenly appeared in their territories with a four sided pyramid shaped with a steps on each side and the flat tip of the pyramid has a big floating circular white and black swirling thing which is the portals as a place to worshipped.


    We were stupefied of course. Instead of getting closer to it and meet the other races and new civilizations, they choose to worshipped it or they''re still unable to comprehend our gift.


    Only our creations can worshipped us as we commanded them so. But these mortals worshipped us voluntarily without giving them orders and no strings attached in them.


    We saw in their eyes while they seeing the pyramids. Longing As if in their entire life deep inside in them, they were searching for something, someone, a parents, a guardian, a teacher, a God.


    They need a God that is what we thought. So we finally showed ourselves with our bodies radiantly glowing, as we floating up in air with our Godly forms.


    Some of the ''First Pairs'' were humanoid with wings of light. A big turtle that biggest as a mountain. And a 1 meter bird with body that was made of fire. A humanoid with a pair of jet black horns in its foreheads as it curve upward and an eyes colour of blood. There is also a small white ball of light that radiates a warm atmosphere. Even lion-like creature but with its mane was made of crimson flame. Some even has a form of a big tree as it reached up to the sky and many more.


    But one thing we have resemblance to each other is that we produced a radiant light within us. A divine power that is what we called it, for this power is more mysterious and makes miracles that defies logic and only the citizens of the Heavens Realm has it.


    Out of the thousands ''First Pairs'' 300 of us joined the expedition group and the rest remained in the Heavens Realm fearing dangers will bring upon them.


    The one who joined the expedition was one who was bored and other was for excitement and thrilled.


    By the way I choose excitement.


    We showed ourselves to them, only one of each appeared at the 100 portals that we built throughout the Mortal Realm.


    We only built 100 portals for the 100 races that have already been starting building their civilizations.


    100 showed themselves with their godlike forms.


    But me who I killed my pair and the rest of us just watched the dumbfounded mortals.


    Imagine....While hundreds of millions of mortals around the Mortal Realm worshipped the pyramids, then suddenly a bright blinding light appeared at the top of the pyramid.


    Part: 3


    ¡¶Somewhere in the forest¡·


    Humanoid creatures resembles to different kinds of animals has been living in the vast forest for generations. They were curious at the pyramid that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and choose to settled around it since predators that hunted them for as long as they remembered was afraid to go near the pyramid.


    They can now live peacefully within the range of the effect of the pyramid without alerting themselves of the different kinds of dangerous monsters around them.


    Suddenly a blindingly bright light appeared at the top of the pyramid, they were afraid of course with a mixed with curiosity since they didn''t step or even get closer in it because of fearing of losing its effects.


    The light was so bright it engulfed the whole settlement around the pyramid.


    The humanoid animals then began to get out of their homes as they''re looking up at the bright light at the top of the pyramid.


    The more they are looking the more they''re getting used at the light as they see a silhouette figure of a lion with a crimson flaming mane was the one giving of the bright light.


    ¡¶Somewhere also in the forest¡·


    There was a race that formed four different clans that live in the forest who were at war with one another, as they hated each other for being having different skin colour and having different beliefs.


    The Northern territory, their skin colour is milky white and has a blonde hair and golden eyes. They believe the sun as a god and the giver of life and they looked down upon the other three clans as they thinking themselves as a superior to them.


    The Southern territory, their skin colour is silky dark and have a black hair and red eyes, they revered the darkness, because they believe their own shadows was given to them by god as a protection to them.


    The Western territory, their skin colour is silky light green and has a brown hair; they believe a giant tree is a giver of life by dropping its big fruits on the ground and as the fruit decayed the seed was left. Then the seed as the time passes becomes dry and beginning to crack and came out the first of their species.


    The Eastern territory, their skin colour is the same as the North but their hair is pure silver, they revered the moon and the stars as they thinking the moon as their goddess and the stars is their loved ones who already dead as they watch their descendants.


    The one thing they have common is that their ears is rather pointy and their bodies were slim,  aside from males as they have slightly muscular and their faces was delicate and beautiful.


    They always have small skirmishes as they engaged in battles, fighting for their beliefs.


    Their territories is opposite at one another and formed a square formation where each points is their base.


    Suddenly out of nowhere a pyramid appeared at the centre of the formation.


    Each of the clans believed it was their god''s gift it to them so they can smitten the other clans for being depicted him on other forms.


    Since the pyramid is in the centre edge of their territories and has rights to claim it on their own they didn''t aggressively claim it for fearing the three clans will joined forces and attack the one who will claim it.


    At first the four clans proposed diplomatic talks to their leaders and agreed that the pyramid can be shared since the four sides of the pyramid is facing to their territories and began to worship it and made offerings.


    After many years of depute and war, peace has now accomplished as their lives is revolting to the pyramid.


    The Northern clan made a offerings ranging from gold, silver and precious gems at the portal at the top of the pyramid, thinking it''s a gate way to their god and be pleased of their offerings.


    The Southern clan made offerings by sacrificing a beautiful virgin woman in the portal every year as they thinking their god will have them as wives.


    The Western clan made an offerings to the portal by giving a bowls of different kinds of verity of seeds as they are thinking their god will blessed them and brings the seeds that was blessed back to be planted.


    The Eastern clan made offerings by giving the portal their accumulated knowledge throughout their history that was made into books, thinking their god will be happy and entertain.


    But the years of peace didn''t last long.


    The Northern clan''s precious gold, silver and gems have run out throughout their hundred years of offering, so they take action by stealing from the other clans.


    The Southern clan''s virgin also ran out (lol) because of throughout the years of sacrificing the parents of the will be chosen sacrifice was now afraid to be part of their daughters and made them married early to the man of their daughter''s choosing.


    So the elders of the clan take actions and abduct virgin women to the other clans.


    The Western clan think that their offerings of seeds are not enough for they didn''t get any of their God''s blessed seeds. And the fact that their Forrest soon will run out of trees with the hundred years of cutting for the houses and buildings that they build the near the pyramid as they choose to move their entire clan near the pyramid.


    If trees will continue to run out, what will they offer to their god since they get seeds from the fruits of the trees? The people began to panic, and then they come up with a solution. War.


    The Eastern clan think that the books they offered to the portal is still not enough as they didn''t get a response to their god, so they attempt to steal the other clans knowledge as they thinking they didn''t need of it.


    The four clans is now covered in tension, they didn''t know what the others were planning nor they have a time to do so as they are busy planning their own scheme.


    Calm before the storm.


    The first one to move is the Northern clan; they ordered their ''Secret army'' that mingled with the ordinary citizens to infiltrate the other clan¡¯s treasury.


    The Southern clan already knows the existence of the secret army of the Northern clan and the Northern clan already realized this.


    The Southern clan notice the unnatural movement of the ''Secret army'' by tracking them with their own ''Shadow Corps'' and discovered their scheme. Instead of publicizing it to the public they use it as a opportunity.


    They were thinking, after the Northern clan started their operation by stealing gold, it will caused a disorder to the four clans and they will used it as a distractions to abduct many females to the other clans.


    Little did the Southern and Northern clans know, the Eastern clan used their ''Undercover spy'' that was specialized in gathering data as they already infiltrated the other clans archives of knowledge, and stole all of their scrolls, books and many more as long as they contain knowledge¡¯s.


    Then the operation of the Northern clan now started.


    The Northern clan easily infiltrated the other clans treasury as if they were busy on something, at first they were sceptic since the security of the clans treasury was lacking, not to mention that the Southern Clan''s treasury didn''t even have a guard and was just sealed by a metal lock, but as they were thinking that the Southern clan was just off guarded  or just a coincidence that the treasury guard at that time was doing errands, they shrugged the idea, but the speculation was still in their minds.


    And they were correct. The four clan''s, after hearing the news that someone robbed them of their treasures, they immediately speculate the Northern clan since they were thinking that since they run out of gold, they beginning the act of stealing the others for their offerings.


    But the Northern clan denying the accusers as they were saying that they also have been robbed by their treasures which are a lie.


    The four clan''s normal citizens pointing and accusing one another, but their elders which is the leaders of the clans was quiet....to quiet that was the Northern clans question.


    Then the question was answered by the sudden missing of females of each clan. They have now accused the Southern clan as they were thinking that the missing females were their doing.


    Now it added the fact that the three clan''s archives of knowledge was missing it contents and blamed the


    Eastern clan for they are the most educated and their offerings are always related to books contained knowledge¡¯s.


    Now the people were in the massive uproar as they pointing fingers and blaming each other.


    Then the last thread of peace was cut by the Western clan by their unexpected attack at the three clans.


    They were in shocked, since the Western clan was the most peaceful out of the three.


    They then realized that the trees in their territories have now dwindled and they needed a new source to harvest as they needed their seeds for the offerings.


    They secretly amass their army while the other three clans were still distracted.


    The Western clan''s first objective was to secure the pyramid by killing the people that doesn''t belong to their clan around it.


    Now that the task was finished, the pyramid was now bathed in blood by the own worshipers.


    As the Western clan has now the controlled the pyramid, they tighten its security and since their new settlement was near the pyramid, they can easily dispatched troops around it.


    The other three clans enraged, not only the Western clan attacked them unexpectedly while they were disputing each other, they have now taken control the pyramid that they shared and taken away the rights to them to worshipped.


    The three clans formed an alliance and build an army more times the size of the Western clan as they march to the pyramid and take it back and also their lives.


    It was night time and a moon was so big you may think it closer to you.


    The Western clan''s determination was unwavering and ready to die for their beliefs. The three clans formed army of a hundred thousand while the Western clan was just 20 thousand as they faced the army of a hundred thousand in front of them while the pyramid as their background.


    The sound of horn was heard as it was a sign of the start of the war.


    The three clan alliance was the first to move as they slowly marched at their enemies, ready to give a divine punishment at them.


    As the alliance began to move, so as the Western clan and shouts a war cry that can be heard kilometres away.


    But the battle didn''t happen as they''re suddenly distracted.


    A bright light suddenly emerge at the top of the pyramid and made people below watch in awe as the bright light was getting bigger and much bigger as the light crept up to the sky.


    And a silhouette figure was seen as big as a mountain and tallest they have known as it reached up to the sky made the western look back and just stared at it with dumbfounded faces.


    As the radiant bright light slightly dims its brightness made the people below laid down their weapons and look up what they see that made their beliefs shaken.


    A giant tree was floating at the top of the pyramid and it was giving out radiant light like a sun.


    The tree, radiant as a sun as the light shone all over the four clans territory and made the night into a day, and made the Northern clan fall into tears.


    The tree was so big that it manifested a huge shadow and engulfs the Southern clan¡¯s territory and made the people of the Southern clans jaws drop and lowers their weapons.


    The giant tree pierced into the sky as its background was a giant moon made the Eastern clan kneels on the ground as they began praying.


    That day not only changes their lives it is also their beliefs and becomes united on generations to come.


    ¡¶On a barren wasteland¡·


    This particular tribe was a barbaric race as they adapted in the one of harshest land in the <Mortal Realm>


    The water is non existence and only rains ones a year.


    Generation upon generations they appearance slowly change as they adapted in the environment they lived in. There are monsters underground ranging from giant worms, giant scorpion and many more as they hunt them and as their main source of food and causing mutation in their bodies.


    Their skin colours turned black as a protection of the scorching sun''s rays.


    Their ears are slowly fading as it is adapting to the lands sand storms. And in exchange for their ears, their senses raised exponentially when it comes to feeling the vibrations underground sharply as they are becoming accustomed on hunting desert creatures.


    Their body becomes bulky muscular as they hunt the monster underground with their bare bodies as a weapon.


    But they slowly change when a pyramid suddenly appeared.


    For the barbaric tribe who was just starting of using stones as it made it sharp as a weapon and learned to preserved food if they needed. They viewed the pyramid as a living god as it produced water on its feet and gushing everywhere. It made the cracking dry ground muddy as it produced weeds of grass on its trails.


    They then began to worship it, suddenly a metallic objects came out at the portal and rolling down below the base of the pyramid. There are different kinds of object ranging from weapons, plates, jewelleries and many more. The objects have one thing in common; it has a shining smooth surface with different colour, ranging from a colour as a sun, a colour as a star and stones that shines if reflected under the sun.


    That''s right; it was gold, silver, and gems. The Barbaric tribe was mystified as this was the first time they had seen such object.


    It does not end there, at the next day a woman suddenly appeared at the top of the pyramid with a stupefied expression as she keeps looking left to right as if she were looking something.


    The Barbaric tribe was happy, thinking their god answered their prayers.


    As the tribe slowly evolving as they adapted on the environment, their life span has increased and their senses becomes sharp but with consequences. Their numbers began to dwindling as the generations goes by.


    Not to mention a harshest climate such as theirs and sometimes males died during hunting. Now the ratio of male to females is 1:6 but it doesn''t mean the females can immediately produced an offspring.


    They noticed the low conception of their females and since the females were higher than males, they take multiple wives for a higher chance a child will be born.


    After they seen the females who has a dark skin, pointy ears and a body that doesn''t even fit for battles, they were thinking that it was the gods daughter and made her almost look like them aside from the ears.


    The woman also thinks that it was the gods doing as the god send and ordered the poor girl to help this barbaric tribe to have a better life.


    The tribe treat the woman with respect as she can choose a husband amongst the warriors. Later on their hypothesis was right, the woman immediately impregnated as it produced a new race.


    Unlike the Barbaric tribes body structure that has a huge built and waist like tree trunks and. This new race has a beautiful face, tanned skin, not so muscular and has a slightly long ears but not so much like her mother.


    But the blessing didn''t end there; the next thing that has appeared was a bowls upon bowls of seeds. The Barbaric tribe has a questioned look on their faces of what was the bowls of seeds was for since they didn''t know what tree is. The woman who came out the pyramid then ordered the barbaric tribe to take the seeds and planted it in the ground near the gushing waters as she said to wait for it to progress.


    Another thing came out in the portal was a books, lots of books and some are scrolls.


    Of course they didn''t know what to do of it, what you expect of a civilization that is still starting, so they give it to the woman.


    The woman seems to be educated and understand what is written. She tells the leaders of the tribe to allow her to educate the children as she will teach what is written in the books.


    And every year the pyramid is continuing giving out precious metals, millions of seeds and women.


    Years goes by, the used to be barren wasteland turned into a green plane and trees was everywhere and its centre was the pyramid.


    The barbarian tribe has now becomes civilized, they used to lived in caves but now with the excess of trees they build houses of it and they starting to build public facilities made out of wood, mud and rocks.


    And there was a castle. It¡¯s for the royal family who belongs to the first woman who came out the pyramid as they see the woman as a first daughter of the god.


    They have now using the gold and silver coins as a form of money that they get yearly from the portal. And lastly they can now read and write and make a military tactics as they will use it for their enemies.


    Now, the pyramid has stopped its giving. They didn''t know why but they think that their civilization has now already progress enough and the old race has now replaced or evolved into a new race that was more flexible in many ways and that was already enough for them.


    Instead of feeling concern about the situation they are happier and treat is a sign that their civilization has progress enough and didn''t need help from their god.


    They prepaid a festival and held it around the pyramid for thanking their gods for everything.


    Suddenly a bright light appeared at the top of the pyramid. The merry crowds who was dancing around the pyramid in circles, the sounds of drums and other instruments used for the festival, and the surroundings has now becomes quieted.


    They looked at the radiant light at the top of the pyramid in fear and awe. Nobody moved as they thinking it will offend the Celestial being as he looked down upon them like ants.


    The radiant light is now slowly getting dimmer, enough to see who produced such light.


    A man in his 30s with a intimidating look and a well defined muscles and his skin was white and it add the radiant light it produces, it gives off the other worldly feeling.


    And it add the pair of black horns as it curves upward and eyes was so red and if you look closely, you could see a ocean of blood and the man itself was bathing in it.


    They people was awestruck, they immediately kneel and yet their gaze didn''t move away as it was still locked at the man as if savouring this historic events that is unfolding this very moments.


    They too have red eyes. Their enemies in the neighbouring lands were scared by their colour blood eyes.


    They inherit it form the women who came out in the pyramid. Yet this man they were looking was more intimidating and has the eyes of unbeatable and triumphs in battles.


    They know. The red eyes are more than enough for them to know the great being they are facing.


    They then regain their trances and not one but all of them were kneeling and their heads were on the ground as they were eating the dirt. But it doesn''t matter; they were scared and revered from the man in front of them.


    ¡¶On the highest mountain ranges in the Mortal Realm¡·


    There are two races who lived in the vast and highest Mountain ranges in the entire Mortal Realm, one is the ''God Eaters'' who lived at the edge of the Southern part of the ranges and the other one is the Winged humanoid creatures who lived in the highest mountain ranges located at the centre.


    A/N: They lived near the South Pole and the mountains there were like Nepal but a thousand times bigger and wider.


    The Winged humanoid creatures lived here for as long as they remembered. They were just a small tribe numbered to more than 2000, but their life span almost limitless. But unlike the barbarian tribe or the humanoid animals, they already progress in terms of medical knowledge, innovations of tools and astronomy.


    They used herbs for their foods so it will be appetizing, they collect herbs, plants and many more as they grinding them to make medicine tablets and they list it on their clay tablets for future reference and preserving the process of making it for the future generations.


    They made houses in the caves but the interior was not a primitive as you think, they used light crystal to light the interior in the cave as it imbedded it on the walls and ceiling to make a clear view to the surroundings.


    Their caves was not rough as it seem, every wall of the caves and ceiling was coated with a mixed of mud, powered granite and a substance for hardening and make the walls and ceiling smooth as it imbedded the light crystal in it.


    Since they lived in snowy high mountains the atmosphere was thin and the climate was very cold so they made clothes out of snow silk worm that they cultivated inside their caves.


    They have adapted the cold climate as generations go by, but they feel slightly uncomfortable. So they used fire crystal inside the cave as they used it as a heater and for cooking.


    A/N: light and fire crystals was one of the examples of the elements that was trapped in the mountain or underground for a long period of time as it compressed the elements and condensed and then harden. (treat it as a carbon that turned into diamond)


    They also build a huge telescope with a lens made out of transparent clear crystal as they stargazing, and make used of the stars to track months, years and time.


    They always looked at the stars with a feeling of longing in their eyes as they keep finding something up to the stars searching for something.


    Their instincts told them that as long as they look up to the stars, they will find their answers. With their almost unlimited lifespan, the only thing they could do was wait and wait and gain knowledge in the process as they watch the stars and made constellations out of it.


    Now the long wait is over. Someone discovered a strange object in the northern part of the ranges which is in the God Eaters territory. Luckily the winged creatures and the flying ice lizard which they called them as they breath ice was friendly to each other and treat each other as equal since they help each other in terms of handling medicines for the ice lizard and in exchange for the light and fire crystals.


    The ice lizards approved of them to enter in their territory.


    Soon, 500 of the winged humanoid creatures fly¡¯s through the ranges as they drew near at the strange object, they were excited and has a hint of expectant written on the faces and they were feeling that their long waited answers will now unfolding by the time they get there.


    They have arrived at the said location, what they see didn''t betray their expectations.


    As they fly, they saw a mountain that''s have been cleanly half, as if someone or something has the power enough to sliced the whole mountain effortlessly. At the centre of the sliced mountain was a huge pyramid with a four sides that has stares and at the top of it was a circular swirling black and white matter which is the portal.


    Around the pyramid was surrounded with greenery which is grass, flowers and some trees which is rare in the cold climate such as they lived in.


    The winged humanoid creatures landed on the ground without leaving their eyes towards the pyramid, as they were in trance and speechless.


    They broke their trances and realized that the ground was warm and the air was warm. A spring like place which was their first time has seen.


    They didn''t move closer at the pyramid for fearing someone or something lived in there. They investigate the surroundings and investigate the big trees based of its age and come to a conclusion that the pyramid was in here for more than hundreds of years.


    While they were investigating as they scattering everywhere searching for clues, suddenly a bright radiant light has appeared at the top of the pyramid and made the people around it covered or closed their eyes.


    They didn''t move as fearing while they were blinded by the light they might step in a trap and endangering the other as they already discussed the protocol of many types of scenario including they have experienced now.


    Soon the light is getting dimmer as they slowly open their eyes.


    They looked up at the top of the pyramid and saw a female figure with a delicate yet beautiful face, golden eyes, golden glowing hair and skin as white as snow as she wore a white dress as it covered her bosom down to her legs and made the men down below watched in awe on the goddess that has descended from the heaven.


    What they saw will be engraved into their souls and will given them a huge role in the Mortal Realm in the future.


    ¡¶Somewhere in the thousand islands¡·


    The sea folks, that¡¯s what they called themselves. Humanoid creatures that has gills both sides of their neck for breathing, between their fingers and feet¡¯s has a thin skin to act as a fins when swimming underwater, their hair is as blue as clear sky and eyes as black as in the deep sea.


    Predators everywhere, in the sea the sea folks was the favourite prey as the sea creatures underwater was as large as a small island itself, ranging from squid monster that can easily sink ships, 100 meter sharks that can tear apart prey like nothing, giant eels that can easily swallow a man whole and even the giant jelly fish is so deadly as their transparent tentacles can scattered everywhere and stung the unnoticed sea folk and made their hearts stops beating and died.


    And in the air, giant 20 meter birds that looked like an eagle preying the sea folks. Every season where the giant birds were on a mating season, they hunt the sea folks for food for their newly young chicks as they needed nutrition and the sea folks meet the category.


    They have nothing to run as they were vulnerable in land and water so they thought of an idea of living underground.


    They build caves underground at its connected to one islands to another and when they hunt, they passes through small crevices in their underground water tunnels as they lay small traps near the crevices as they were afraid to go further for the dangerous creatures living with them.


    But the peace didn''t last. A sudden earthquake struck the ground underwater and causing the tunnels to cave-in and a large tsunami hits the islands and filled the caves they lived in with water.


    It was a disaster scene. People were trapped in the tunnels as it is filling the tunnels with water, even though they can breathe underwater they still needed of air to breath as they were mammals. With no oxygen to breath and hours passed, they were drowned.


    Some were lucky and passed through the small crevices they have created but only to get eaten by the sea creatures as if they were waiting all this time were to happen. It is the same for the ones in the lands when the tsunami struck at them as swept them into the sea and becomes food for the sea creatures and giant birds who were flying as they see this as a opportunity to gather food.


    The lucky survivors were the one who held on the trees when the tsunami happened and the some who were swept away by the raging water and manage to got back on the near island without getting eaten by the predator.


    More than half of their population died, they either drowned under the tunnel or got eaten. On that day after the tsunami, there is not any minute you couldn''t hear their crying for help and made the survivors dreaded In fear and helplessness, somewhere angry as they cursed their creators because they were created helpless and vulnerable. Some were accepted their fates as they were thinking that they were made to be a livestock for the strong but they have defy their fates as they build homes underground where no predators to bother them and made their creators angry at them for it.


    But some are haven''t lost all hopes, they have survived for more than a millennia without fighting as they can only do is escape and hide now the realization came into them.


    One island inhabitants releases colourful smokes as a form of communication as it say that ''We will defy fate'' and made the other islands people did the same as colourful smoke with the same information and made the other island who was much farther to see.


    They came to understand what is that information mean as they to know how they feeling right now.


    Since the caves they build was no more, they will be like a walking buffet for the giant birds and some sea creatures that can walk on land.


    The mating season of the big birds has already finished and they only needed little food to eat and not mention they learned how to stock foods and store it inside of the many huge iceberg near the edge of the thousand islands where the climate is cold as they stored the thousands of corpses of the sea folks they hunted.


    They used this as a opportunity to strike back as they will now becomes a predators and the predators will becomes prey.


    The men have abandoned all hope of living in exchange for their children and wife to keep living as they will be the ones to do the fighting.


    They made spears, bows, traps and daggers out of huge bones of a giant eel that once drifted in their shores with its body is already unmoving and full of wounds dictated that it was battling a strong foe and died.


    The first thing they are planning to hunt was the huge birds that was still loitering in their islands even though they already stock enough food for the next mating season, as if it didn''t mind the sea folks who was looking at the them with anger and vengeance in their eyes.


    They laid thin transparent nets that were made from a type of silk worm whose silk was strong as steel and it was strong enough to hold the big birds. At first they were reluctant since the silk worm itself was so rare and it cannot be cultivated because of its sensitivity when it was touched and when alerted they have a defence mechanism that can release a poison and spread through into their bodies as an act of suicide.


    Luckily throughout century, instead of using it made into a dress or anything that can be use of, the sea folks collected it and was treated as a treasure and a sign of power and wealth to those who come into possession of it as it made into a ball lf yarn. The bigger the yarn is the more prestige they will get to the normal sea folks so many people owned at least a meters of tread.


    But now that they were on a verge of dying out, they take and make anything they can find and owned to make weapons. Anger and vengeance engulfed them but they are still sane as the men were thinking only the survival of their wife and children.


    Now that the trap was already set in motion and the only thing remains was bait. Some volunteered and was placed into the areas where they laid their traps on.


    One of the giant birds who were flying notice a male sea folk that was standing under a big tree and many large bushes was surrounding the big tree unnaturally which was suspicious.


    But the stupid bird was thinking of snacking the male sea folk as it dive down below in its fastest speed as it was thinking that it got the elements of surprise to the unnoticed male.


    As its getting closer with its fastest speed, suddenly something caught the giant bird when it was three meters closer to the target and made the bird unable to flap its wing as it crashes down on the ground.


    If you looked closely, a thin transparent net was covering its whole body as it trying to get away using its feet. But that didn''t happen because of a sudden appearance of 20 sea folks who was hiding behind the bushes and tackled the giant bird.


    They did the same tactics to the other giant birds and captured more than 200 giant birds throughout the thousands island. Even though they want to kill the birds out of vengeance for their loved ones who was killed by them, one suggested a better solution of making use of them as a mount to travel. They trained them with beating and feed them if they did a good job.


    For a giant birds who was once hunted the sea folks and evolved to be slightly intelligent and can make judgements of their own. Now because of the rigorous torture and training with a mix of fear and hunger, they are now becomes a mindless birds that will follow orders given by them.


    they put a saddle near the back and neck of the bird as they will use them as a mounts in order to boost their military power and survival.


    Now that they are ready to retaliate, hundreds of mindless birds who only listen to orders flaps their wings as they carry a hundred of sea folks along with them is their weapons ranging from melee to long ranges.


    Their destination is the many small islands located at the edge of the south of the thousand island, it was the territory of their most hated species of sea creature, the ''Monster Shark'' as they are using the island as a resting place and as well for laying eggs since there are many shallow waters for the babies to be safe from dangers. But now, their very own favourite prey wills now preying on them and they couldn''t do about it as their attackers were in the air flying.


    They always falls in prey to this monster when they were swimming underwater while looking for food and the cunning monster sharks stalks them far away with their keen eyes that can see through water clearly one kilometre away. After of many failed trials of getting foods and now the monster shark''s population has grown three times after discovering the sea folks as a edible and easy food source, that when they change tactics to lived underground and made tunnels throughout island to island and get food throughout the small crevices underwater where some of their tunnel was purposely for hunting since it was flooded with water.


    But the incident struck them and their tunnels that was connected together was ruined and causing a cave-in, the trapped sea folks don''t have any choices but to get out through the small crevices made by the earthquake and the already has a crevices for hunting before they ran out of oxygen to breath as the water is rapidly filling the tunnels where they were trapped in.


    But what waited them outside the tunnels was an all-out one sided massacre made by the monster shark as they were hunting the sea folks. When they get out, one by one they got immediately eaten and some of the sea folks didn''t know what happened to them as some of them eaten in half the waist as they only realized their lower half was already gone.


    As if the giant sharks was purposely doing it as they mocking and playing with their foods. Some of the sea folks made into the beach but the monster sharks seems to know how to surf in the waves for extra boost in shallow water as they glides through into the sand with water and made their way halfway into the beach and immediately bitten them from behind unnoticed and as they get back wiggling in the water.


    The Sea folks who is in the islands saw how they were eaten from behind without warning and some of them knew some who were eaten, but they were afraid to go near the beach. But they still didn''t lose hope since there are still many of their brethren is out in the sea as the monster sharks circling them while changing the water current and made them unable to go further in one of the island. They were playing, that was the thought of the Sea folks as they curse the monster shark and themselves for being powerless.


    Since they were afraid to go near the beach, they come up of an idea to throw a long rope at them as they will try to pull them of the shore; many of the other islands survivors did the same. As the people out in the sea saw the rope, hundreds of them grabbed the rope as the people on the islands pulled them off the dangerous sea, as they''re getting closer and the monster sharks didn''t do anything just circling them, they were expectant that the monster sharks already has a full stomach.


    But their expectations crashed, as they hurriedly pulled the rope, the first one who is in the front row was smiling at them, as they pulled the rope and the first person got off the water, they have realized that his lower half was no more as soon he got out of the water. But his eyes showed a determination as he was still alive and unable to never let go of the rope as his half body dragging on the sands up to the safe zone, as if telling to the one who pulled that ''it''s better to have something left to show to his love ones than getting eaten''. After he was in the safe area, someone approached him while trembling; it was a female child who was approaching him. With all the man''s strength, he lift up his head and smiled gently at the girl as if trying to console him and tried to raised his right hand, the girl tried to grab it but unable to do so as the man''s hand goes down as his eyes open looking at the girl in a lifeless gaze but his smile didn''t vanished console the little girl until the end.


    The girl stood frozen, so as the people who was looking at him. "Father...." said the girls voice with a low tone and lifeless eyes, that was the last word she has spoken until one of the Sea folks hit the girl behind the neck and made her unconscious. The one who hit the girl has a pained face and walks to the rope and beginning pulling. The Sea folks melted their frozen gaze as they continue what they were doing but failed to produce good result. They continue to pulled the rope only greeted by a half body Sea folks as they are struggling not to let go of it even though they know it was already too late, but they still persevere not to let go. So long as they at least show their faces to their surviving relatives, it was enough.


    Thousands of Sea folks in every islands is grieving, the ones who was pulling the ropes but ended to produce a failed result as they were thinking it was their fault and unable to look at the surviving relatives faces. But instead of loathing them, they get a thank you from the surviving relatives for giving them chances to say their goodbyes. A pained expression coming from them as their tears drops and looked at the sea with many big fins circling in the waters with a hatred and vengeance.


    But the men has now given a chances to redeem themselves as they were the first to volunteered to ride the giant birds as they headed towards the monster sharks territory, carrying them is their weapons and a large containers made from wood, enough for the giant birds to carry.


    They lived their life in fear and only has enough food to sustain their population to survived, asides from traps they laid underwater near the crevices, they use some kind of method where they lure small fishes in shallow water with a type of food that the fishes like, around the fish food they throw out for bait was a wide fishnet enough to collect tons of fish at one time.


    But they know that the fishnet was not enough as the fishes in the thousands island was aggressive and dangerous, even the small ones was capable of cutting the fishnet enough to escape and the big ones can jumps many meters in the air as if they were actually flying. They developed a type of poison made from the type of tree where they get the sap of the tree as a main component for their poison with a mixture of herbs. The poison was enough to paralyze the target but not killing it, with one drop of poison can engulfed a large area of body of water. They use this types of method when the times of desperation where food was really scarce but never use it if not needed.


    Because of how dangerous this poison was and might destroy the whole ecosystem of sea creatures and will left them to starve and also the fact that they love the sea as this was their second home even though they were driven into the land because of the uncontrollable creatures that dominates the waters.


    Now, they were driven with madness and hate towards the creatures as they go fort into their territory as they will use the poison against them for vengeance and survival for their kind.


    Each of the giant birds carried a large container made out of wood. Now they have arrived at the hundred island where many islands didn''t contain any living being as it was only filled with big sharp rocks and no vegetation is seen. But underwater was different. Up in the sky, the sea folks can clearly see thousands of huge and small shadows of fish, they were up in the sky nearly a thousand meters below and they know that the silhouette figure like fish was their target as they fast diving down below with their faces full of evil intentions as they smirking at the target.


    They have now stop their dive as they have now gliding in the air with no intention to go further near the waters as they are afraid of those creatures to suddenly jumps at them, they have learned their lesson, if the monster sharks can surf in the waves and using it as a extra boost as they can get in the beach halfway and wiggle back at the water then they might or can also jump many meters in the air and catching the flying giant birds along their passengers.


    So the just have to fly enough height to ready their plans. A whistle was heard by one of the riders and the other knew exactly what''s that mean.


    Hundreds of them go to their own position in the sky as they formed a giant V formation. At their backs was the wooden container containing the poison? Below the container was a small cork that was use to seal the hole as they have now removed the cork and a greed liquid was gushing out of the hole.


    It spread like a smoke after it gushed out in the containers, expanding around the whole area as its slowly going down in the waters and will affect the unnoticed living creatures underwater.


    Now the ocean below turned green and the obvious monster sharks that can clearly seen from above becomes a shadow.


    They have no time to feel regret about what they have done since it is for the survival of their kind, they waited minutes until the poison will take its effect while they''re riding the giant birds up to the sky observing situation below until they saw shadows of the monster sharks that they observed since, has now revealed themselves on the surface of the water unmoving as many continues to ascending themselves while their bodies was paralyzed by the poison.


    Thousands of them have now floating in the water and unmoving, but the riders know they are not dead but paralyzed; they have an hour most until the poison wears off.


    A war cry is heard throughout the sky as the riders now descended fast, raising their respective weapons, as they promoted massacre and carnage towards their enemies below.


    They hacked and stab the monsters with a bloodshot eyes, some got off the giant birds as they jumps at the top of the bodies of the monster sharks  who was valuable with paralyzed bodies and can only watched the massacre that is happening to them as they have now experiencing and facing a total humiliation and annihilation.


    The crystal clear water has now turn into crimson and the thousands of monster sharks was bathing with it.


    The battle didn''t last long, every weapons they carried, spears, bows and arrows, axe; sword was dipped in a kind of poison in it that can melt muscle tissues and destroying any immunity in the body of the target.


    As they were afraid that the paralysis will wear off sooner than later since they didn''t tried it before on the bigger creatures, they decided just to attack the vital points which is the heart and the head as the monster shark immediately die as the poison on their weapons goes inside their bodies as its corroding their hearts and brains.


    But what they didn''t expect is that the poison they wasted in the waters is continuing to spread outside the territory of the monster shark and affecting every inhabitants living in the sea.


    Since one single tree can only produce only two drops of the paralysis poison since it is still need extraction to make it pure, they decided to cut the trees and extract every sap in it, making hundreds of island go bold as no trees was left, not to mention it grows very slow.


    They poured 200 containers of poison that is equivalent of more than a half a million of trees that they get out of it. For a starting civilization like theirs, their mental thinking ability and calculation skill was still at the lowest level, so you can''t blame them for being simple minded and easy to get swayed by their emotions. They couldn''t imagine the outcome of what they had done to themselves.


    The poison that spreading into the sea produced a chain reaction, the coral reefs in many places is beginning to die, making the fishes who was immune to poison starve and the affected fish floats in the water as the giant birds fetch the easy preys and ate them, making themselves poison as they keep swaying onto the air but decided to give in as they crashed into the ocean which part was still unaffected by the poison. But as the giant birds that ate the poisoned fish crashed into the sea, they greeted by the big sea creatures the same size as a monster sharks, like giant octopus and squid and many more. But it also affected them as they slowly digesting the giant birds and paralyzed or something else.


    It appeared the poison that once a type of paralysis mutated into a new kind of parasite after many process of their host getting devoured. One type of parasite inside the host''s body adapted into the poison and made it their own ability and other ability that can devoured the host from the inside.


    As it spreading fast throughout the ''Thousand Island'' and made the once crystal clear sea are now turned into crimson colour and the sea creatures unable to move due to the poison were helpless. They are trapped in their islands and nowhere else to go. Even they has a means of transportation which is the birds, they couldn''t evacuate the ''Thousand Island'' as they never venture outside of it. Some riders tried to find a safe location outside the ''Thousand Island'' but they only see an endless view of ocean and strong gust of wind as they can''t pushed on. Evacuating using big boats is not an option as they know that there are much more dangerous creatures outside the ''Thousand island'' since it was much deeper and they could already see large serpent like creature''s shadow not even 20 miles away from the thousand island that was much larger than they ever seen in their lives, it was much larger and longer than the monster eels that inhibited the thousands island, and the shadowy figure that they viewed from above seems to have a arms and legs with its long 120 meters body, which they have now realized that it can come in the lands as it please.


    As the riders returned, carrying the bad news on their hands. One rider with a youthful appearance spotted an area which was covered in fog. The area seems to be 20 miles radius that was covered with fog, as the youth was heading there with a curiosity but only stopped by an older male as he was saying that the area is the centre of the ''thousand island'' and their ancestors told them as it was passed down to their descendants that the area is prohibited as they''ve been told by their ancestors that a strange bright light that suddenly appeared into their skies and engulfed the whole ''Thousand island'' with its radiant light as it beginning to descend down below on the centre of the island.


    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    On the next day, a thick fog was surrounded the centre islands. Even the large predators didn''t go there, and their ancestors come up with an idea that a foreign god choose to dwelled in there, as they thinking that their own god which they believed is a embodiment of water allowed the avatar of light to stay in one of the island.


    They are now at the edge of their survival, they couldn''t blame of what had happened since they feels the same way to one another. Now, the whole territory of the ''Thousand Island'' covered in crimson colour, sea creatures corpses everywhere, big or small. And it didn''t end there as the trees in every island slowly dying by an unknown caused.


    As their remaining rations for survival is dwindling by the passing days. The riders fly for the last time as their mount that was already exhausted due to the lack of food because they conserved the food for their people and also due to flying many hours without rest.


    As many scattered everywhere, finding some hope that can help them survive. The youth form before came back at the site where the fog is and discovered that the surrounded area outside the fog was unaffected by the poison as it was still crystal clear water.


    As he informed the others about his discovery, people began to pack their belonging, riding their biggest boats as they rowed through the litter of corpses in the water. They were desperate for survival and ignore the warning of their elders of the impending danger revolving around that place. As they have now arrived closer outside the fog, they saw the crimson liquid didn''t affect the edge of the fogs territory, telling them that the inside is safe from dangers.


    They continued to grow their boats inside the fog. As they go deeper, they see a strange light emitting to the other side of their destination. They decided to follow the light and change their courses, as if telling them that the light is guidance from them to follow.


    Hours passed and the light is getting denser telling them that they are now closer, now they have realized what that is was. They saw a pyramid structure with steps on its four sides and above it was a black and white vortex like matter. But the structure was not their looking at; it was what''s above the structure.


    They saw a giant turtle with a skin of golden colour added by the glow emitting on its body, its shows that the being was omnipotent and almighty that can crushed them anytime it wants. there are still 16 miles from the pyramid but the creature who was floating above the pyramid overshadowed the whole large island with its whole body that the pyramid was standing on creating a massive shadow around it.


    As the people is dumbfounded and don''t know what to do as this is the first time they saw a living god. They can only prostrate themselves to the almighty being that is in front of them.


    Part: 4


    We the so called gods by them give them 2 wishes. The humanoid animals as simple minded as they are, wishes for only to stay in the pyramid for safety and let them worship the lion with a fiery mane.


    *


    The 4 clans wishes for an identity that is only unique to them god and they wish for them to serve the tree god, fearing the possibility of leaving after the wishes were granted. The giant tree communicated by whisper of wind and a scent mixed with earth and grass produced by the tree. They understood what message they received, the name will signifying a common understanding of the 4 clans and will end the conflict and it will be use to identify themselves. Elveanus, that was the unspoken word that the tree has passed to them as he told his name and their newly identity. The sun worshipers is now to be called Sun elves, the darkness worshippers will now be called Dark elves, the worshippers of trees and earth will now called Wood elves and the worshippers of moon will now called Moon elf. On that day peace was restored and united them into one god. As new enemies come forth in their lands and brewing destruction and carnage, the 4 clans was now united, defeated any intruders with their combined arm forces and exchanging ideas to strengthen their bonds together.


    *


    The barbaric tribe wishes for wisdom because of their lack of judgment and strength to protect themselves from harm.


    The man with white skin who has a black horns and red eyes blessed them on the spot as he lightly swing his right arm and a wave of radiant light as it hit them lightly. Suddenly their minds become sharp and can think clearly, fully realizing what can they do and do not. Their bodies suddenly feel getting stronger as if they can crushed a huge bolder into a piles of rubbles. With their newly gained wisdom and strength, their tribe becomes more prosperous and productive as they introducing their god to the other race whose unfortunately didn''t received a God''s blessing.


    *


    The Winged creatures have only one wish, that is to serve the goddess of beauty directly as this was their ultimate longing since their ancient ancestor¡¯s times. At times when the ''Mortal Realm''s'' balance is destroyed, their task is to repair the destroyed balance with their newly reborn power gifted by their goddess.


    *


    The Sea folks wishes for strength to smitten their enemies and let them live in this secluded place without getting bothered by anyone until they gain resolve and strength to fight into a stalemate or overpowering their enemies. The giant turtle''s golden eyes began to beam a golden light towards the Sea folks and giving them an ability to manipulate water to their will, he then sealed the entrance for their other wish until they''re strong enough to protect themselves.


    They were not the only one. Hundreds of races were given 2 wishes and told them not to use it for their own personal selfishness but for their own survival and prosperity.


    *


    There was one peculiar and unique race that is not strong like the barbaric tribe yet managed to survived using resilience and cunningness. Why we took an interest of this race was their ability to adapt to any environment they faced on. We watched them through their hard times when they lived in the caves and eat raw foods. And how they first make weapons made from stone that was sharpen as they defended themselves to many large predators roaming around their area.


    We watched them almost fall into extinction because of a natural calamity ranging from earthquake to floods as their first thought of that time was to hide in their caves when a danger struck. But that proven to be wrong as the flood gets inside their caves and made them drowned and earthquakes, causing the caves to cave-in and let them trapped inside to starve. With multiple times it happened and many deaths occurred they come into realization and left their caves and lived on the earth surface. They build houses from leaves and stone, but as generation becoming smarter, they made many efficient tools to come up with many ideas of invention. Making their daily lives much easier.


    We watch them as they learned how to grow crops and domesticate edible animals; they make dried foods to preserve for the winter season as they are unable to grow crops. Their numbers grown after the agricultural era, with much food to eat, they can feed and produce many children without problem of starving.


    We watched them when they learned how to mine minerals as they make tools for work and tools for killing. As their numbers grew they decided to expand their lands as they made weapons like axe for cutting the dense trees, iron swords for fighting and bows and arrows for the weak body that who still wants to fight.


    They lived in a large plane as they are surrounded by large mountains ranges from a far. Since they decided to expand their territories, they braved themselves as they fight through the dense forest that is filled with dangerous monsters. Many died and many suffered. But their conviction and cunning tactics to lure the monsters to their traps and killed them, advancing their way through the dense forest and discovered a pyramid. This was the first time they seen such smooth and symmetrical structure as it was described by them as other worldly; it was God''s gift, that''s what they said. They began to worship it.


    Many years have passed; they relocated their whole community after discovering that the monsters were afraid to go near the pyramid. Their civilization flourished and triples their population after they settled around the pyramid. They build massive wall made of stone and iron for support around the pyramid.


    They even build council of ten leaders as they respectively govern one part of the land to rule and each has its own armies to command to defend the people and eliminate the monsters.


    Their intelligent have now risen as they can focused on many innovative ideas since no monsters can attack them inside and now their military equipped with iron swords and full bodied armour as they ride their horses that was breed for battle and long distant travel.


    They called themselves ''Humans'' in their ancient tongue means ''Survivors'' as they proven themselves to be resilient and unyielding to their enemies and survived many generation of hardship back when their ancestors hunted by many monsters into the brink of extinction.


    The once monster they feared are now gone as they still continued to pushing them away as they keep expanding their territories, creating new villages outside the  protective range of the pyramid as the population keeps rising.


    Now they have enough land to keep their citizens satisfied and free of monsters attack. Then internal dispute follows. Their natural enemy was now no more as it was getting push by what they called ''knights''. With the excess of numbers of soldiers to command and different faction disputing over the newly lands, the ten leaders has decided to wage war to one another over sovereignty.


    The citizens they want to protect was now in the middle of conflict and many died in the process, brothers against brothers, family members torn apart by the civil war as they choose their own sides and fight for what they have believe in.


    The once prosperous civilization torn apart by greed and ideals and half of their population almost wiped out. If it wasn''t for a miracle they experienced at that time.


    An orb of light was floating above the pyramid as it giving of a radiant warm light and made the battle field litter with corpses stop moving. The ''knights'' lay down their weapons as they kneel in front of the radiant light with awe and reverence as they look up with the eyes of asking for forgiveness as they thought they angered the god who is living inside the pyramid and also of longing as it was the first time they saw their god who they revered and worshipped since the beginning of the discovery of the pyramid.


    The orb of light is emitting more powerful light as if conveying something to them, which they understand somehow. ''I give you two wishes'' that was the light''s message. The battle filled came into halt and they leaders of different factions discussing of what they wishes will be.


    Their first wish is knowledge. The orb of light emitting more radiant light as it engulfed the whole area and suddenly, knowledge that they didn''t know or even they thought was impossible was purring into their heads. Satisfied by their gained knowledge as they''re exited to try it out as they learned the so called ''Mana'' that is around them and can manipulate at will and many endless possibility.


    Their second wish was to allow them to worship the orb of light as their own god as they thought that after getting their second wish, the orb of light will leave. And the other purpose was that they have learned after the war that their civilization is still fragile and easily to crumble if internal conflict occurred, with the help of god''s name, it will hold the community together and a strong foundation can be build.


    Now with a vast endless knowledge they have gained. They created big structures like castle, bridges and many more, their tools in daily lives have been upgraded to more convenient use, they learned how to read and write efficiently and strategically and tactical way of war and they also learned ''Magic''.


    What we didn''t expect was that, after they learned how to travel using the portal, they suddenly attack the race that was in the other side as they wiped out the whole race into the face of the world. We forgiven them, as we thought that they have the rights to do so, since the race on the other side didn''t progress whatsoever and wasted their wishes that was given to them.


    But what happens next made us change our perspective towards the humans and all the other races we watched and guided. The humans advance their expedition after they occupied the first territory they''ve invaded, creating new settlement for their still increasing population.


    Each pyramid we build has only two connecting passages, one is called ''clockwise system'' a passage where you cannot return and can only advance until all the pyramid is travelled and return to their homes. It was meant for cultural exchange. Its purpose is to come to understanding with the other races. The second one is the ''Random system'' a passage where you can go in and out to the other side of one random pyramid. The purpose of it is to trade goods and help each other when problems occur.


    So by using the pyramid owned by the race that the humans eliminated, they gained a new travel pathway.


    The humans now owned three pyramids as they also eliminated the whole race that was living in the third pyramid. They continued to go further to the fourth one, but it didn''t go well as they expected the other side of the portal was a race that boosted for their strength and wisdom to judge what is right or wrong.


    They have dark skin, red eyes and bulging muscles with no excess fat as their daily routine was fighting and sparing. They are the barbaric tribe. With their newly gained strength and wisdom, they gained senses of what the uses of magic. They use magic to strengthen their bodies as they still developing and unable to invoke outer magic.


    As the humans marched fort towards the fourth portal, they were ambushed by the barbaric tribe as if they know what is coming. The barbaric tribe uses their bare bodies as a weapon as they ripped the humans like a thin paper.


    The humans desperately fighting the barbaric tribe but it was for naught. The humans were powerless towards the barbaric tribe. Even though outnumber them to ten to one. The barbaric tribe skin was hardened by strengthening magic; it also added their black and a little reddish hard skin, cultivated on battlefield, as if they''re wearing a rusted iron skin as the humans are unable to pierce through their skins.


    They tried to use fireball as this was the first magic they have learned for the moment and win their campaign against the other race they''ve eliminated. But their efforts were in vain as its unable to harm the barbaric tribe''s steal-like skin.


    The humans retreated and backed away when they realized that they''re powerless against them, but they have not given up after even though they lost more than half of their army. They will remember the first race that has defeated them and it will be their natural enemy In the future and many wars will occur.


    ''Demon''


    That was the barbarian tribe now called. As they get the name from the name of their god ''Demonius'' as a sign of respect and belonging. The demons already realized that the pyramid was actual a portal, with their newly gained wisdom they can think of many possibilities. They send ambassadors for diplomacy as they''ve realized that there are other options than using brute strength. They''ve already allied themselves to their neighbouring land through diplomacy and strengthen their bonds. Their neighbours consists of a humanoid bull that can walk on its two feet, half man half bird, earth dragons who was living in the mountain ranges and many more as its keeping increasing and they also educated the races that didn''t received a blessing from the gods, making their once called city turned into an empire and the first multi racial and many ethnic community into one ruler in the entire Mortal Realm.


    The demon emperor, who the god Demonius choose as a leader for his empire knew that the humans will come back with stronger forces and he knew that they will not stop until they are wipe out as they saw how radicals they are to the other races. As he was the one who''s the wisest of all the demons and the one who proposed diplomacy. He sends people in the portal to make friends and established a new trade route for their expanding economy.


    It was a success on the first try and the emperor immediately sends trade goods to be traded. On the other side of the portal was a race with a pair of bat like wings, red eyes and have tails with a sharp point that can use as a lethal weapon.


    They have a racial trait that can suck life force their victims but that didn''t fazed nor scared the emperor. In fact, they welcomed them with open arms as they hold a lot of similarities to the demons.


    Although they can suck life force, they were physically weak like humans but more agile than them and can fly through the air. So with the alliance with the demon empire, they get a protection from the empire.


    The race in the second passage in the portal didn''t end well. Although nothing serious was happened. On the other side was a race that has bodies of rocks which the demon was startled since this was the first time they''ve encountered a non organic spices. They have observed the rock like humanoid form but did not disturb them and they seems not to care about the pyramid and just use it as a centrepiece of their village and they also ignored the demons, as if they''re thinking that the demons was just like any ordinary animals that was passing by.


    With the lack of communication and understanding of how their community is works, they can''t connect with them. They saw that the rock like humanoid didn''t need to sleep and they eat rocks for source of food which greatly disturbed and fascinated the demons who was watching them.. The only thing they could do was to continue to advance to the second passage.


    But they only saw was carnage and massacre. What they saw was a humanoid figure like them wearing an iron suite and riding a four legged animal as they slash and stab the creatures who they believed was the one who originally lived in there.


    Luckily for them as they passed through the portal, they haven''t spotted yet by the humanoid wearing an iron suite as they were busy killing and massacring the original citizen below. They immediately return back as they informed their emperor about the happenings on the other side. The emperor orders the whole army to be ready as they prepared when they''re coming.


    They told the race in the other side of the pyramid to evacuate in their own territory since they will be the first to be invaded which they happily accepted.


    They also tried to convince the rock like humanoid about the impending dangers but they wouldn''t listen nor even looked at them. So they gave up. They focused on what''s ahead as they waiting for the invaders to come out the portal as they''ve already completed their preparation for battle.


    At first we thought that they will settle their differences soon after but that proven to be wrong. The humans always comes to the demons territory to wage war while half of their army is expanding their territories on their borders as they discovered many pyramid while they expand they lands and wipe out the settlers living in there and populated the territories with their own races. The human leaders used the gods name and falsely told their citizens that their natural enemy is the demons as they deemed them heretics and worshippers of an evil god and needed to wipe out for their own safety.


    The demons also were angered by their preaching about them being evil as the humans categorized all the non human as demons, not as a single race but as whole. They were angry at first but they realized that they can use it as a opportunity to unite the no-human race to choose their sides which they immediately accepted.


    More than 70 portals has now in the hands of the humans and as a time passes, they build hundreds of kingdoms and empires as their population roused to 500 million. To those who loses their homes and the almost extinct races because of the humans greed of resources and slavery, hundreds of non-human race joined the demon''s side as they claimed half of the world while the humans also control the other half.


    We the True gods aren¡¯t allowed to step on their wars because it will cost our own to conflict and dispute. But we helped them for giving them resources. We didn''t know that the resources we gave them, specially the humans that will led to the first ''World War'' a massive war between two sides.


    The Mortal Realm is now divided into two factions. The human faction, that only consists of only the human race and the demon faction, consists of multiple races beside human, ranging from the elves, dwarf, humanoid animals which the humans called ''beast man'' even the dragons joined them because the human race hunted them for their body parts, specially the heart which they believed to bring them immortality when eaten.


    Some of the races the demon empire governs are still in their developing stage which is why the demons is helping them to accelerate their progress, for example was the race they called ''Orc''. They are similar to the demon race when they''re in their first years of progression.


    But now, the demons teach them to fight which they are only good at and with their high fertility rate, their numbers is the biggest in the entire Demon empire which is the back bone of the empire. Now that their empire is getting bigger, it is also getting harder for the demons to control them because of minor conflict to the other races. The Demon emperor then decides that, each race can pick a representative that will be directly under the Demon emperor control as a general to directly inform him of their own situations.


    The generals will be called ''Demon Lord'' as they governs their own races but only second in power to the Demon Emperor as they''re form a pledge to the emperor to never betray him.


    As the time goes by, the skirmishes between the two sides becomes a fully fledged ''World War''. The ''Radiant Church'' which is the place to worship is the true leaders of the whole human race. Human kingdoms and empires submitted to them as they blindly worshipped their one and only god that they called the ''Radiant God''. The high priest was chosen as the leader who proclaimed himself as the most closer and can directly talk to their god. He tells the worshippers about their race were superior and they can look down upon the others because their god tells them too, and the demons must be eliminated because they''re worshippers of a dark god.


    Half of it was true, but we the ''True gods'' never discriminate other based on their forms, we choose a representative to directly talk to us as they ask us of their needs. Now that there are only two factions, it also only needed two ''True gods'' of each side to worshipped, the rest of us now choose not to intervene with their affairs and the two chosen representative will do the work for us as we watched on the sidelines.


    We made a huge mistake; we underestimated the human¡¯s capabilities. They are the embodiment of unstoppable greed and bottomless stomachs as they slowly ate their way onto us.


    With just millennia, they build fortresses that were made of steel and they also made massive cannons that fires condensed mana that can blew up a entire village, they made flying ships that can fly throughout the sky by fusing magic and science. They made bombs that can blow up an entire city of the demon''s side into ashes. They also made mobilize canons that can pierce through the demon''s fortress, the learned magic skills that can turn the tides of war into their advantage.


    As they thinking that the demons are not worth their time anymore, they ignored them which the demon empire was confused about. The humans, decided to hunt a hug prey and breaking their beliefs for their own greed and superiority. They were given by their god whatever they want as he dote them. If the humans ask for gold, the radiant god sides will turn a whole mountain into gold, if they ask for bountiful harvest, he will make it so, if they ask to turn the dessert into a fertile land, it will be done. But we didn''t expect that they have turned against us and the high priest the apostle of the human side was the one leading the humans to rebel.


    We were shocked and betrayed by the race we forgiven multiple times as they plundered the other races of their rights, as they have committed rape and slavery of many demons and other race. But it outweigh their potential as a whole, even though they''re physical weak, they adapted in many changes that is happening in their environments, that is why we forgiven them and doted them because they are unique and peculiar.


    The humans that we raised most favoured and guided from a small community to multiple empire covering half of the worlds'' territory now pointing their weapons against us. They built a huge cylindrical shaped tower that pierced through the clouds and as large as a city.


    We didn''t know what it is nor did we care as we''re thinking that they just made a new discovery to progress further.


    And we were right about their discovery and what they find out and build was the most sinful act towards us and we were already too late to stop them. The humans want more, they want unlimited power, they want more knowledge, and they want to be their own masters. They believe they''re more superior than any races and can do impossible to possible. But they didn''t avoid dying of old age, as they can only live for more than 100 years while the demons lives almost eternity which is the main reason of the humans anger and jealously towards them as they thinking they deserve it more than them.


    Many humans ask us for immortality and mostly those with power and wealth, kings and queens who refuse to give up the throne due to them who worked hard to gained and grow it. Wealthy merchant and nobles refuse to hand their wealth to their descendants. They now treated us convenient tools for pleasures. So we stop giving for a long period of time which the demons accepted since they get more than enough. But the humans revolted after the giving stops. As they still hasn''t accomplish they ultimate goal.


    They want to become gods themselves.


    They active the tower as they called it ''God slayer'' and was powered by mana of millions of human just to get one shot. the god who supervised them didn''t expected an attack by the humans and we also didn''t believe at that time that a mere mortals can harm us. As he just watched the humans from above the clouds as he watches them with curiosity.


    The pointy tip of the tower produced the concentrated power produced by the millions of humans as it accumulated and turned into a bright shining light like a star above. With enough energy, It was then shot like a laser at the radiant god which they already know its location and coordinates.


    The god that they have shot is the god who given them everything without receiving anything back, but the humans becomes smart enough to learned that they''re not bound to their so called god nor we can''t dictates their future since it was not our creation. The supreme leaders of humans who was the church pretending to still served the god after the ''Radiant god'' stop giving. The leaders of the humans were angry because they can no longer do what they want to do because of now limited resources.


    Now that they didn''t need their god anymore they just tossed him away, but their scholars discovered a more best solution to use the radiant god, which is to absorbed the gods power, which the High Priest


    Immediately agree as he was getting old. He wants to gain immortality and power. The humans may have intelligence but without wisdom their judgemental skill was lacking and views the other races as animals as they can''t comprehend and understand others outside their own perspectives.


    The laser that was produced by the tower hit the radiant god and was surprised by the sudden attack as he was getting pulled by the enormous attraction power from the tower. He was then absorbed, the priest gain immortality and power, but it was only a moment of happiness as he explode along the tower and the millions of people that was giving mana to the tower.


    What the humans did was they destroyed the ''True gods'' soul after capturing him and living only a fist size orb as it was giving off a radiant light. The orb was our core of power as it houses our souls, our core was unique than any other creature and has many functionality and properties. If a soul was destroyed it only leaves the core which contained our pure power. Every creature in the ''Heavens Realm'' has a core on their bodies, the longer you lived the more purer and powerful the core will become.


    Us who already lived for millions of years as we keep getting stronger has a purest core and has already have a power to do whatever we want. We called our core a ''True core'' which is the First Pairs core. It is the most powerful of the god¡¯s categories. It was not meant for a mere mortal to will its power. Our core also contains information, memory, talent, skills and knowledge that we gained throughout our lifetime.


    Absorbing such powerful object inside a mortal will caused a catastrophe as it will overwhelmed the host by the content inside and self destruct when it can''t balance to contain its power. What happened to our brethren made us the true god¡¯s debate and re-evaluates the mortals. If the humans were capable of such feat, the other race might can, it might not happen today but it will happen in the future that is what we thought.


    Half of it was our fault as we were the one to unnatural evolved them for what have they becomes as we learn that knowledge also comes with wisdom which the humans lacking. We re-evaluate the mortals as we watch their actions. On the demons side, we didn''t see any problems as they simply lived their lives. But on the human¡¯s side, we watched in horrors. We the ''True gods'' was still strangers of what they called ''sin'' since we have power to leisurely do whatever we want whenever we want. We come to realized what''s a mortal truly mean, beings who fight for power and live in deception and corruption. They also can loved and hate, vengeful at sometimes. They were full of emotions, different emotions of different people which we quite lack.


    Since the whole Mortal Realm was divided into two factions, only two ''True God'' was needed, we then neglected the mortals and go back home. Some frequently visited the Mortal Realm but never observed the mortals action as we only see them as whole, but not their individuality. But now as we study and learned from them of the human behaviour as we see the humans is full of different emotions of different people...


    Corruption spread throughout the humans, wealthy people looking down on the poor, merchants bribe the officials to avoid taxes, buying and selling their own people as slaves, leaders of each nation fights for personal reasons and gains, women selling their bodies for money, men committed adultery, greedy official raising taxes to pocket the rest, soldiers raped and plundered villagers to other human countries.


    We have seen enough of the atrocity of the humans and we know most of it was our fault and we learned from it. We learned to never give too much because it will led into their own demise and ourselves, we also learned how their community works and realized the resources we gave them was too much for their own good, hundreds of realization can gain by just observing the humans as we the gods who was still strangers of the word ''sin'' learned it from them.


    Unlike before where they struggle to survived when they still have nothing, even though they wage war to each other, they fighting for their own conviction and rights of what they have believed in. Now their system was more complex and has many loopholes in their laws as they''re taking advantage of it and sinned more as they fight for personal gain.


    We know what we have to do; we saw their souls that are turning black and corrupted as it continued to spread, influencing the younger untainted souls to becoming corrupted. Their technologies also didn''t match their lifestyles and greatly separate the poor and the rich.


    We now began to move.


    We purged, cleansed, purified the humans, we removed the knowledge we gave them, we destroyed any technology they have, their whole history was wipe out by us as we rewrite the memories related of the events happened to their past history and the present events. Their race that once abundant of all reduced into just 1 million and left them with a small piece of land to start a new as we only left the pure ones to live.


    But we feel that is not enough, we realized that not just the humans but all of the mortals is capable to sin, but we only punished the humans because they have the ability that no other race has, that is to move forward in progress but unable to look back of what they have become and the consequences of their actions. We can''t purged the other races since they still haven''t done that can cause destruction to others and themselves.


    When mortals becomes wicked their souls becomes darker, hundreds of millions of human that we purge half of them contained dark souls and the other half was still in the mid process of corrupting. We realized that only a heavenly fire can purify their dark souls.


    When mortals died, the souls will immediately transfer to a new host as a new born child with new memories and families but the sin on their past life still lingering inside their souls, making the child becomes wicked when they grow up. We have the ability to produce ''Heavenly Fire'' but it was exhausting and it burnt more of our ''Divine Energy'' more than we reproduce.


    We experimented many possibilities and search a way. After of long hard research and still hasn''t produce a result, someone discovered an area underground that was big as the ''Mortal Realm'' that changed our perspective of the ''Heavens Realm''.


    We knew how the ''Mortal Realm'' was naturally made and known of its properties and natural laws and orders, not just the ''Mortal Realm'' but outside of it. As we see many stars when night time in the ''Mortal Realm'' we knew there are many like exactly the ''Mortal Realm¡¯ but we''re unable to travel as it was very far away and we are still in the process of discovering of interstellar travel.


    But in the ''Heavens Realm'' we considered it to be flat since it was very big and ancient. Inside of the underground area, we feel a certain heat coming from the deepest part. We were certain that the heat came from the ''Heavenly Fire''. As we go further down below, we discovered ''Heavenly Fire'' as it covered most of the ground floor. But that''s not the end of it as we discovered there is still many floors down below and we realized that each floor has its own ''Heavenly fire'' covering it, we didn''t know how or who made this but what we known of is that ''Heavenly fire'' consume ''Divine energy'' to maintain its form and in the ''Heavens Realm'' all matters was made from ''Divine energy'', so we''re not surprised if the ''Heavenly fire'' in the vast underground didn''t extinguished as they get ''Divine Energy'' from the air.


    What we''re surprised was the vast amount of it, every floor is the same sized as the whole ''Mortal Realm'', and not to mention that there is still many floors down below that the same size as the first. It feels like higher beings than us made the floor. And the lower floor you go in, the more time distorted. It¡¯s making the time go slow.


    Now we have a capabilities to extinguished the dark souls as we purify them using heaven fire. We create portals outside the ''Mortal Realm'' that the mortals unable to reach where gravity doesn¡¯t exist. Some revolving to the ''Mortal Realm''s" axis some are attached to the moons. The portal was specially made to attract souls to pass through it and immediately transport to the one of the floors. The darker the soul is the harder it to purify which is why we build portals to different floors as the most darkest soul goes to the deepest floor which is the time is slow and the less dark souls goes to the above floor. As the soul is already purified, the portals automatically transport it back to the ''Mortal Realm'' to find new body. This process of soul purification is called ''Hell system'' it was name by the one who discovered the site and has the right to govern it and now the place called the ''Hell Realm'' where mortals think of it as a dangerous place that tormented the sinners while we viewed it as nothing but a soul purification system.


    As many millennia has passed. The ''Mortal Realm'' has now stabilized. Humans again populated the most of the lands and make wars but not as powerful they were back then as they slowly make changes unlike their previous races.


    The ''Mortal Realm'' is now guided not us but the descendants of the ''True Gods''. Creating more religion and splitting the one''s two factions into many. But that was not enough for them as they will rebel against their parents as they feel inferiority and unfairness, making the Great Gods and Lesser Gods to form a coalitions to joined attack the 2nd and 1st part of the territory of the Greater Gods and True Gods and utterly failed as they banished them and unable to come in the 2nd part of the territory


    Part: 5


    But I, Silviana couldn''t care less about the shitty troubles of the Lesser Worms; they could just die for all i care. I was focused on is one who will I lived my outmost life. I will remain by his side even the ends of time. Forever will I only looked at him and only him.


    A chant that will bind me and will not vanished for eternity.


    A pledge that will not be broken even someone try.


    A promised that will forever and ever be remembers.


    And a kiss that will forever engraved into my heart.


    That''s right. As I was I dazed... believing a magic contracts will be form but this.....


    Chanting the most beautiful words I heard in my entire life.....


    "I Lyaga, promised I will protect and love Silviana of the Fairy Realm, Queen of the Fairies...as I will forever by her side in sicknesses and in health today and forever...even the wind will howl, even the earth shake, even the heaven will rain thunder and lightning against me, no matter who I''m against with, I will not stop loving you for all eternity"


    My heart beats faster, hearing such incantation that was stranger to me yet somehow understand what it means. My face probably red by now as I was still closing my eyes as I was instructed, yet my face slightly cramping as I force not to smile as I somehow happy when I heard him pledging. Such powerful incantation made me swaying with unknown emotions or yet some of my forgotten ones. The humans surely advanced making such magic contract.  I thought.


    He finally stop chanting yet I want to hear more. I want more of those flowery chants that enabled to sway me but I wanted it hear from Lyaga''s mouth. My state of thought is in chaos. But it was suddenly stop when a soft small thing touches my lips. My mind shut down as I unable to process such wonderful event. The small thing touched my lips as it presses gently yet the sensation was gone immediately when it slowly moving away.


    I want more, that was my thought. My eyes still close but I know the small thing was his lips. Such soft and sweet made my body weird.


    "Ok, done...with this contract you can guarantee I will not leave your side...hehehe"


    I open my eyes as I see Lyaga smiled brightly and ask.


    "W-What was that sensation....my body feels weird all of a sudden" I don''t know what''s happening in my body, but It made me hot and something else which I can''t describe. Throughout my life, I rarely interact with others and had friends that can be counted by two hands. It was due to my brother''s betrayal that unable I to not talked to opposite gender and I hardly trust people, making me ignorant when it comes to emotions or related to it. One of it was the action that lyaga made as I can''t get a description of this feeling surging me.


    "It''s called ''kiss'', humans performs this act to their love ones as an act of affection and it also related in the contract. That what''s written in the magic book? So... How does it feel?"


    he looked at me with a question look and a hint of anticipation and made me unable to answer his question, because I somehow embarrass to answer. But I force myself as not to disappoint him.


    "Its...sweet and soft...a..And it made me feel weird" it take more than my strength to say that.


    "I knew it! The books was right, it really do something like that" he looked assured and like a child that was gain a correct answer and was happy about it. Wait, he''s still a child...


    Something was wrong. As if I committed an act of indecency. But I might regret it if I stop.


    "I can''t quite get the feeling but....if we do..It again..We..." what I am thinking! I can barely look at his face out of embarrassment yet I said something so shameless.


    "I too still can''t explain this feeling. The book said that after the contract is form, we can do it over again to strengthen the contract"


    "Eh..You mean it will wear-off if not maintained properly?" no wonder it swaying my feelings and tingling sensation. Just by listening to its incantation it takes immediate effect. Such complexity of this contract must not be underestimated. But to repeatedly doing it again is too...


    "That''s what I read. And the contract can only be use once to an individual"


    I almost scream my minds out. I can''t allow this wonderful contract to be broken by me just because of me being always conservative. I want to feel that sensation again. The softness of his lips that touches mine, the weird feeling that slowly blossoming within me that I still can''t explain.


    I want to feel that again..


    "Then...We better d-do it again! " I said it! I really said it. Now he will think I''m a shameless woman.


    "O..okay!"


    What''s this! Is he flustered..It¡¯s the first time i seen this expression of his. But this kind of face he''s showing is kind of cute, it makes me want to ogle him but I still have my remaining dignity, preventing me to make more shameless actions that I already showed. The things I have done to him is still fresh but it looks like he doesn''t mind it one bit. But I think differently as I made up my mind to correct my mistakes that I made in the past.


    Again, He drew his head closer. This time my eyes wasn''t close as I see him drew closer to me and me flushed red. I heard that when two opposite sex was together, they produce some kind of reaction which I still don''t understand. I do not know if this reaction is affecting me. I was too aloof and proud and detached from the outside world and I kind of secluded myself from others. And I must admit that it makes me ignorant and unable to comprehend a person¡¯s thoughts and actions. It also added my wariness to others.


    Yet, with arrival of lyaga changes me slowly. It made me obsessed to him as I focusing all these years cultivating him. Something within me tells me that something will change if I save him. And now, it comes too fruited. If these feelings continue to blossom by the passing years, I might fully realize this sensation I''m experiencing now.


    A soft lip touches mine again. This time it lasted a few seconds. This time I was savouring the taste without a taste. It has a taste of uniqueness and a feeling of belonging. As if this taste is the only thing that will make my heart fluttering and skip the beat. It tells me my lips belongs to him only him. It might last in a few seconds. But I feel the time is eternity, such action made the time stop and let me savouring this new experience.


    "Is there any changes" as our lips parted, he ask me. Yes there are changes, a big change. But, I can¡¯t enable to say it. Fearing this action will only happens a couple times. I can''t just let it go.


    It made me greedy. I ask myself, why so greedy? I am unable to answer. Until I get all my answers, I will not let this go. Even though my questions are answered I will not let it go. I will not let ''him'' go.


    "I..I...A little, but I still can''t..." I am unable to answer him. I can''t also lie...he might not trust me.


    "Hm...That¡¯s odd. It clearly stated that after the rite of kissing is established, it should work perfectly"


    "Mmm...Maybe it¡¯s different effect or something to do with races" I said shyly.


    We


    The ¡®True Gods''. Each pair has its own genetic makeup, making us different towards one another, that is why we first called ourselves ''First Pair'' on our early days. The ¡®First Pair¡¯ of our kind. We were uniquely carved by the ''Unknown'' to perfection of each our own rights. Making us having own innate ability. We also have a body that can automatically negate any negative foreign substances from any sort of forms of magic. Since that''s the case, this kind of magic contract should not affect me. But the fact, I feel something invading my body. Making my heart pound that you could hear it beating, my body temperature is continuing to rising even though we immune to any sort of discomfort as it negate it all. And most of all, when this ''kissing'' was used, my mind and body is telling me to want more of it. This magical contract that the human used is very formidable. It can even affect''s me, who specialized of <Barrier Magic>


    My magic can even protect even a person''s soul from any sort of soul attack. But this magical contract that I can''t even detect any magic invocation that is used nor I sense any mana entering my body can even shaken my very own soul for the first time in my life proven to be formidable.


    "Then...should we try again. But....I don''t want you to feel discomfort so we might sto....."


    I have a feeling that this wonderful event will come to an end...


    Before he completed his sentence I sort of shout a ''yes'' immediately and made Lyaga baffled.


    Eh?...why do I look like so frantic after I kind of guess he might end this. But I steel my resolve a said immediately.


    "I...I think we should do it again!!!!" I was so embarrass as I was thinking of being shameless and frantic that I haven''t showed to outsiders. But this male in front of me was different. I want to know more about him more than he knows me. I can''t let him go.


    "Ooh..hehehe...I didn''t know mother was so bold. I guess there is still many more I didn''t know about you"


    Why does he look sad? And why my heart aches when I see his sad little face. But he was wrong! This was the first time I act like this.


    "uhg" I can only grumble. I lack of confidence to talk back as I was still embarrass. His teasing makes me unable to talk and slowly, my tears beginning to release as I lowered my head, unable to show my face.


    A silence filled the air. It was only a minute of silence but to me, it feels like an eternity. But this momentarily silence that will charges our lives forever.


    A gentle hand flowed into me. Touching my chin with its two fingers as it trying to lift my head''s up. I was powerless to resist this imaginary force that enabled to lift my head. As my head lifted up, my eyes is still looking down with my teary silver eyes, unable me to see a surprise attack that can bring forth a ultimate damage into my heart and soul as it also heals immediately to create a new and powerful heart and soul.


    ''Kiss'' silence is still filled the air. A soft bundle of lips touches mine again and erase my worries once again. This time was longer and more passionate and deep. It¡¯s unable me to think straight as I was savouring this moment.


    15seconds.


    30seconds.


    1minute.


    It lasted one minute but it feels like a century of bliss. But I was still greedy. It¡¯s not enough. I want to forget all the bad times that happen in the past. And I want it to fill the memories that will happen from now on. But I do not want to force him like I force him in the past. I wounded him more than enough. It was enough to make me feel miserable when I think of it....


    I can only utter "Again"


    That word I just said. It was filled with all of my emotions that I think of now. There are Sadness, longing, desperation, belongingness and fear. It echoed throughout the silent room...but I know that was not an echoed but a repeated word playing in my mind. It''s the only word I can think of as I crave more of that unforgettable sensation.


    ''Kiss'' this time I look at him directly. Our faces were close and our lips touched. His eyes locked at mine. A black eyes that as black night. It was full of conviction, unyielding and full of responsibility that was thought by me. What I see in his eyes was intelligence and maturity that developed by the passing years of hard task and the unwanted attention given by me made him matured faster which I realized until now.


    My mind is full of bliss as if I''m floating in the air.


    In Lyaga''s room¡­


    Only silent linger, locking our lips that was longer than the previous ones. I was in dazed, my body feels hot and itching feeling when this so called kissing by the humans that we currently making.


    "Again" our lips parted again as I blurted out another ''shameless'' which I didn''t care anymore. I said it with gasping breath along with a squeezing sound which was utterly-absolutely shameless. And once again our lips locked onto each other, but it was quick and immediately parted.


    "I¡¯m going to lay you on bed ok" a caring voice was heard from Lyaga. Seeing I was gasping and my body lost all of its strength for some reason. Made him worried and took the initiative to carry me in the bed.


    "Again" I do not care anymore whatever happens. Even something inside me telling me this is wrong, but my body and heart won''t listen. The consequences will come later. But for now I wanted to get spoiled by Lyaga as it was the first time this action was taken to me.


    I was lying in the bed, with tears stared to flowing, but this was a tears of happiness which I forgotten long ago and was unsealed by him. The bad memories that happed in the past was no longer weighing me down and placed with a picturesque of Lyaga that was on the top of me, looking at me intently.


    "Why crying? "


    "It will not stop if you don''t kiss me again"


    ''Kiss''....


    But it did not stop. My tears is continue to flow, in fact Its flowing rapidly more than ever.


    "Again" I want it more than ever, until all the bad memories will completely wiped out.


    Our kissing becomes more passionate and intense but not to the point that if viewed by others will call it indecent.


    "Again......" it continues multiple times.... maybe a hundred? I don''t know, I was savouring the feeling and lost myself, as I vaguely remember when I passed out. With my head was on top of Lyaga''s chest while he hugging me tightly as I feel protected when I''m around him...


    After that day, many changes happened. My expression becomes softer while Lyaga is taking care of me. He cooks foods for me which was incredibly delicious and I didn''t know he can cook. He can even make clothes which I didn''t teach him. He said it was self taught after he saw my clothes was only plain white which I created by <<Creation>>. I was lacking of imagination when it comes to designing clothes and when I successfully created one; it will not be semantically aligned so a sleeveless white dress was the only thing I can capable to make.


    But with Lyaga''s clothes which is perfectly fit to me, emphasizing my curves and a flower design and frills, a white dress with a silver lining embroidered designs making me look more elegant. I was so happy that I kissed him. That''s right...fufufu...kissing is a norm for us now. At first I was asking for it. But now Lyaga took initiative when the atmosphere was good. And when he called me ''mother'' I feel some kind of irritation and a mixed of fear...I still don''t know... So I ask him to call me by my name if we were in private places, just the two off us... Even though there is some annoyance like the twins... Aside from that our life was full of happiness than I never felt since. I was getting spoiled by Lyaga. I was getting pampered as he indulge me anything I want. He also doesn''t mind. I ask him and he said ''as long your happy, I''m happy'' and made me emotional and kissed him.


    But our happy times didn''t last long. On his 10th birthday, I allowed him, accompanied by the twins to venture the ''unexplored forest'' as I was thinking that it was safe since we at the time currently living in a castle in the middle of the ''unexplored forest'' which is my acclaimed territory in the ''Mortal Realm''. But I was totally wrong and Lyaga paid the price.


    As if my world crumbles into dust, many flashbacks flowed into me and I was rejecting reality, I was prepared to suicide since there is no meaning if Lyaga wasn''t there...but only stop by my Best friend......

    Introduction arc


    Enduring Part 1


    Part: 1


    Since I was a baby I was already aware of my surroundings. But I lack neither intelligence nor logic behind all the questions I think of. When I first open my eyes, I saw a woman who was smiling at me. I might not know her but there are some bonds between me and her. I observe my surroundings but only the woman was there as she was carrying me with her two hands gently, smiling with joy written in her face.


    Something tells me there was someone missing, it tells me there should be other person besides the woman and me.


    Its been days since I was born, yet only the woman and me is always together inside the crumbling house. every steps the woman made, made the floor creaking with sounds. While I, only look at the same direction which was the ceiling.


    I can''t turn my head since I was still a new born.


    Only with the woman''s help that I can see the surroundings. Yet, I only saw was broken furniture¡¯s around the house and the windows shut down, as if the person inside was hiding something or someone.


    Our days were peaceful. The woman always smile, it was a mesmerizing smile, a blissfully enchanting smile.


    The woman has a brown hair, brown eyes and a smoothly and white tone skin. She''s carrying me with care, like I was a valuable items that needs to be careful when around.


    "You remind me of your father, little one"


    The woman speaks as he looks at me, with a hint of sadness behind that smile of hers. And her eyes, as if she is looking a very far away and reminiscent some past events happened in her life. She''s looking at me as if she reminded me of someone. Her looks tells me that person was a very important to her.


    But, why is she sad? I still have no idea who is that woman is. But, as if some kind of rope is attached to me to her, telling me she was very important to me.


    Who is she?


    She kept playing with me, giving me wooden toys to play with. As curious as I am, I play with my toys happily. I was still unable to crawl as I was sitting in one place that the woman stationed me. I didn¡¯t move in my spot, as I somehow understood this woman is carrying a huge burden and I don''t want to cause unnecessary troubles. But when I think of the woman''s burden, I feel heavy all of a sudden and my heart beats faster.


    Another days has passed. As usual, I was playing with my toys and the woman was in the kitchen when I heard a knocking came from the door. She hurriedly running through the door and opened it. What I saw was three huge men. When compared to the woman''s height, it can only reached up to the shoulder of the three huge men.


    "Ceres, long time no see I''m here to have fun" (Man no. 1)


    The tallest of the three men first spoke.


    "Hehe...come on man! how about change your line like ''Ceres, this time I''m going to knock you down'' you always said that every time we''re here" (Man no. 2)


    Said the second tallest.


    "haha...I can''t help it! When I said it, she looks like a frightened lamb" (Man no. 1)


    "You two cut it out, Celes is making a living here, how about show some respect"


    Said the smallest whose body was round and fat. He''s looking at the woman intently. When I looked at him, I feel dark, as if I''m seeing someone that will devour anything as he pleased.


    "Look who''s talking! I heard you reserved her for a whole week making her bedridden after, and the worst of all without telling us, you greedy bastard" (Man no. 2)


    "Haaa...I can''t help, not only Celes is a top beauty, even most of the noble women could not compare and she moans beautifully!" (Man no. 3)


    "Hahaha...damn right and she are less expensive than those loose used-up whores in the City" (Man no. 1)


    "That''s how it is Celes, we three are your partner today" (Man no. 3)


    "I bet 4 months without tasting a rod you''ve been playing yourself" (Man no 2)


    "S-sirs, three at the same time is a bit..." (Woman)


    The woman said.


    I can see she was afraid and hesitant of something. I was perplexed at what they saying. But It somehow irritate me. Looking at the three large man outside the door and their expression towards the woman, seems a bit strange. As if they want something from her. The woman and I was together for many days now but this was the first time I saw other people.


    As I see the house, wreaked furniture¡¯s, floors creaking with old, and walls doesn¡¯t enough light can go inside, we don''t have anything that this men wants. What is it they wanted? I only found out in the future...


    "Don''t worry about that! I promise we''ll pay triple" (Man no. 2)


    "We just got our rewards after the big mission, so we have a plenty of money to spend, ha ha ha" (Man no. 1)


    "But..I" (Woman)


    She''s unable to talk back. I can clearly tell that this woman was a pushover. This was the first time I saw the woman with other expression aside from his usually radiant smile. The expression she''s making made me sad and anger towards the three men.


    Barging at our house and making the woman sad. How dare they!


    But I was powerless and can only look at the woman. What do you expect from a recently born child? I can only glare at them with understandable intent.


    " ! " (Man no. 1)


    The tallest man seems to be surprised of something. He was looking around and met my gaze. But it was immediately moved and looking again.


    "What''s the matter with you" (Man no. 2)


    The other two men and the woman are looking at the tallest man who was laughing but turned into a serious expression.


    "I just felt a murderous present, but I can''t pinpoint the location" (Man no. 1)


    "Haha.. Must be some villagers who are planning to come here for pleasure but only saw us and hide behind the bushes... Hey bastard out there! You won''t get your turn for the next two weeks" (Man no. 2)


    Said the second tallest. He was laughing heartily while saying something audaciously outside.


    "That might sound to be right. Hahaha..." (Man no. 1)


    After the second tallest commented with a hint of humour, the tallest man relaxed his expression and as if the serious expression he''s making earlier was just a illusion.


    But the woman looked at me, as if hinting me of something. I didn''t understand though, as I still lack of common sense. I was just looking at them, sitting at the corner of the house with my toys scattered around me. The short and fat man noticed my gazed at them, he looked at me and smile.


    "Just as he said, Celes, we are your customers for two weeks. Think about it. With months of taking a break, you surely don''t have enough money to spend for your baby. And that village chief of yours cut your pay in half. Can you even afford your living expenses? " (Man no. 3)


    "But I..." (Woman)


    The woman was hesitating. She look at me with expression that made me uneasy. Is she worrying something?


    "Hahaha...how about in addition of triple payment, well buy your brat toys and clothes" (Man no. 1)


    They all looked at me, specially the woman. She is looking at my ragged and loosely clothes and my wooden toys which I suspected to be incomplete, missing their heads of hands. This clothes that I''m wearing was the only clothes that the woman let me worn.


    "Y-you promise? " (Woman)


    She lowered her head, hiding her face.


    "Of course, after all we''re your regulars right guys!" (Man no. 3)


    He looked at his companion, assuring his statement to them to agree.


    "I have no problem to it, after all we struck big this time hahaha...." (Man no. 1)


    "Hehe....I don''t think I can hold on anymore, do whatever you want" (Man no. 2)


    They waited at the woman''s answer as her head was still lowered, hiding his face to everyone. She was clearly thinking of something. The three men waiting in anticipation as they didn''t mind the woman''s stalling.


    "I-I''ll do it"


    She was clearly reluctantly agreeing something as if she was forced to. The three men were filled with joy as they heard the woman''s answer.


    Why?


    She was clearly smiling now.


    But why?


    Why does that smile look like in pain?


    Did the men do something to the woman to force her on something?


    Her smile was different than the smile she usually makes. It made my heart ached when I see that smile. Did the men noticed her pained smile? Were they blinded by other desire to enable them to see her pained face. Or were they just after something to her and ignore her pain face.


    I was powerless...


    The three men, along with the woman walk at the edge of the room. It was the only room that I haven''t explored yet. She didn''t bring me there to play.


    But she opens it...


    She opened it for the men. She showed it to others but not me. What was in there? That I didn''t know. The three men got in first, while the woman is still outside.


    She looked at me for the last time. And she smile.


    That was the smile she usually wore. It was an angelic smile that can heals the uncured.


    "Little one, I''ll be back okay. Stay there and play with your toys"


    She enters. And slowly closing the door. She looked at me for the last time with a smile and...


    ''Click''


    I heard something click; it indicates that she locked the door. That was the last sentence that the woman has said.


    I was dreaded with anxiety when they got inside. I want to say ''don''t go'' but my body was not matured enough to be capable to speak.


    I curse my powerlessness...


    ''thud'' ''thud'' ''thud''


    I was in dazed as I was staring at the door that the woman enters along with the three men. I only heard banging came from inside. I was mournful...


    Something within me was slowly getting crumbling, turning into dust. I may not know what they doing, but my heart tells me something else. Yet I can''t describe it..


    I also hear noises. A high pitch sounds came from the woman every now and then. And the men taking while gasping..


    "Hahaha....see, see I told you it fit even we double perpetrate it" (?)


    "Hey! Removed yours, your making it tighter than already is.. And you too...removed your ''thing'' inside her mouth, she can''t breathe, we might see a corpse later" (?)


    "Come on man, can''t you see she''s liking it when her three holes perpetrated" (?)


    I was hearing the men''s conversation, and it made me fuming with anger which I don''t understand.


    Minutes turned to hour..


    I didn''t move just as the woman instructed. I didn''t remove my gaze towards the door. I still can''t express my emotions properly. I also hasn''t cry nor I remember crying. It''s making my face look stoic to others.


    I waited for a long time, until someone came.


    They were the three men. And they were shirtless. Looking at their faces I could clearly see them satisfied on something.


    They are preparing to leave.


    As the men is about to leave. The fat man notice my glance at them, and smile..


    "Guys, before we drink, we better buy that little guy clothes and toys as we promised" (Man no. 3)


    "Haha...fine, she did satisfy us after all, we better reward her" (Man no. 1)


    "''sigh'' I feel sorry for the little guy, having a mother like that" (Man no. 2)


    "Seriously, even though Cera was quite a lookers, who was an idiot to allow her to get pregnant and run away" (Man no. 1)


    "Right! And her debt was ridiculous; it was enough to live leisurely" (Man no. 2)


    "Also that old chief was supposed to be her guardian, but he turned her into a money maker" (Man no. 1)


    "We can''t dwell into their affairs and have you seen how ridiculous strong that old man is?. He''ll turn us into minced meat if we take her away" (Man no. 3)


    I was perplexed on their conversation. I didn''t understand them. They were looking at me with pity and I was irritated by that.


    "''Sigh'' this world is sure is dark. You cannot live as fulfilling life if you''re not strong. While the weak coveted to strong, the strong also coveted to gods" (Man no. 2)


    "We also one of those weak who coveted to strong so don''t take it heartily" (Man no. 3)


    "Yeah, we''re just a minor characters that was in a big chessboard controlled by the gods and we can''t do anything about it but obey" (Man no. 2)


    "They taking lives as if weeding grasses" (Man no. 1)


    "Enough with this god talks and who serves who, we''re leaving" (Man no. 3)


    That was the last thing I''ve heard from them as they got out of the house, leaving me watching them got out until I didn''t see their figures as they shut the door closed. I was again alone...


    I looked again at the door the woman entered. She seems to have not come out there. I waited and waited,  and finally she came out. As I saw her, she was ragged, dishevelled hair and messy clothes...


    She looked at the surroundings. Yet the light of her eyes was gone, as if she was walking unknowingly. Then she sees me, slowly. Her eyes come to life again and made a light smile.


    It pains me when I see her like that, I was powerless and I didn''t know why I was thinking of being powerless in the first place when I saw her like that.


    She was approaching me...


    She was walking limping...


    I can only ask why to myself....


    I looked at her as she slowly walking towards me. I didn''t move on my spot since the woman orders me. As she was getting closer, I can only now see in details of her face.


    She was in pain behind that light smile of her..


    She was suffering behind the scene....


    She the lightly hugs me. I can feel she was weakened by some unknown. Is it the three men weaken her to the point of passing out of exhaustion?


    Yet, this woman is still mustering all of her strength left, exhausted just to give me a weak hug.


    "Little one, as long as you are here...I can endure all hardship that they''ll throwing at me"


    That was she said. I didn''t see the expression she was making. And I don''t understand she is saying. But I know she was enduring something. Behind that weak hug of hers was a strong resolution.


    I can feel she was enduring even before I was here.


    "I must endure for now. So long as you received a brighter future.... I don''t care if you call me names, I don''t care if you don''t acknowledge me"


    It''s making me feel weird all of a sudden. Why is the woman trembling? And what is she saying? Is it for me?, this was the question was still unanswered nor it will be answered in the near future.


    "Someday, you will get out of here and it will be that day I will stop enduring. You will forget about me and you will have children of your own and a decent wife that will take care of you"


    I feel some emotions surging in me. Some day this woman will be gone, this was my premonition in the future. I will suppress these emotions so that when that time comes it will not affect me greatly. I will let her do whatever she want for now, until the day will come...


    She¡¯s carrying me, walking slowly towards the bathroom as she was washing me and herself. We were bathing together since I can remember. But only now I seen many strips of red marks all over her body, as if she was clawed by something of someone and she was in pain when washing her body.


    I was confused. How did she get those marks after she and the three men entered ''that'' certain room? Did they do something against this woman?


    Many of my questions were still unanswered...


    I still lack of common sense.


    After we''re done bathing, it was already night time.


    She feeds me with through her breast; this was the only food source I got as long as remember. As I drink my fill I immediately fell asleep.


    I was sleeping soundly while the woman embraces me.


    As I was sleeping soundly, I was disturbed by weeping sounds. I didn''t open my eyes as not to startle the one who was making it.


    Why does she weep?


    A weep with a mixed with sorrow behind that small noises she was making. Why is it now?


    Does she not want me to see her to act like that?


    Will she continue to keep pretending to be strong when she was not?


    For whose sake as she was pushing herself to the limit and going this far?


    For now, I can only do is to hear her weeping. I cursed my powerlessness.


    I will endure and close my eyes while pretending to sleep. I will endure, even when droplets of liquid touches my cheeks now and then¡­.


    As the weeping stops, I also stop enduring this feeling slowly creeping on me. And feel asleep...


    Part 2


    Light shine on me that came out of the small hole of the closed window, and fully awaken me on my slumber.


    I looked around my surroundings and didn''t see the woman. I was panicking since the woman is usually the first person I will see when I open my eyes, yet she was not here this time.


    ''Knock'' ''Knock''


    I then heard knocking noises.


    This room I was using is near the entrance of the house. Except to the room that the woman didn''t allow me to see, there were four rooms I have seen. One is for storing items, the room that the woman and me used and the other two was empty and was used as my playroom.


    Since my room is near the house entrance door. The knocking noises is surely came from it. I then heard a hurriedly footsteps inside the house as I hear it coming approaching the door.


    I heard a creaking sound. It was the door rusting with old making it produced noises when it was moving. Then I heard..


    "Hahaha... We''re back" (?)


    "Hey man! Your too excited" (?)


    "Hahaha... I can''t helped it, after all, we did put a lot of effort buying this goods" (?)


    "Celes, just as we promised, here..." (?)


    As I hear they conversation which I didn''t understand. But I recognize their voices by listening to them. They were the men yesterday which caused pain to the woman.


    A momentarily silence then...


    "Kya..." (Woman)


    I was surprised and startled. I heard a shrieking sound coming from the woman and I began to worry. I still can¡¯t enable on making any major movements with this body of mine. I can''t do anything...


    I can only rely to my sense of hearing and focus to listening to their conversation.


    "Hahaha... You like that, it''s very expensive you know" (?)


    "Yes!" (Woman)


    "Hehe..I told you she''ll like it" (?)


    "You better work hard today to compensate with this items, hahaha..." (?)


    "Now then, shall we get to business" (?)


    "B-but sir...It''s still early morning and I.." (Woman)


    As if the man urging the woman to do something made the woman hesitated base on her voice.


    "We won''t be long, we''ll be leaving after" (?)


    "Haha.. We currently have a small job this afternoon and this was the only free time we have" (?)


    "Y-you won''t be long? (Woman)


    Now a reassuring voice was heard from the woman.


    "Think about it this way, after we''re done, you will have a bonding moments with your child throughout the day" (?)


    "Hahaha....No need to rush after all this is a very expensive, its more than we can bargain for you know?" (?)


    "O-okay I''ll do it!" (Woman)


    "Hahaha... That''s the spirit!" (?)


    The woman then immediately replies to the man''s sentence. As if afraid to take away the thing that the woman excited upon.


    I then heard their footsteps coming towards inside the house. Walking at the room they previously entered yesterday. Even I didn''t see them; I knew they were entering that room. The room was the farthest room from my room. By hearing the sound of footsteps, that¡¯s slowly getting farther as the sounds of their footsteps getting dimmer. It also added by my intuition after yesterday''s event.


    I then heard again the banging noises. And it was much louder than yesterday. I hear their laughing along with the woman''s voice...


    "haaa..haaa..Ceres you''re quite aggressive today" (?)


    "She''s clearly full of life and vigour today and tighter than usual!" (?)


    "She''s must be enthusiastic because of the items be buy" (?)


    "Ahh.. MORE!!!" (Woman)


    "Damn this woman! She can still make movements back and forth even our rods is in her three holes" (?)


    "This is why she my favourite prostitute.... Flexibility is the key to pleasure a man" (?)


    "Hahaha... Damn right!" (?)


    "Hehehe... Also know to clean her ass" (?)


    I was perplexed again. The woman this time seems to be excited along the three men. She was clearly happy of what she was doing.


    I don''t know anymore....


    For some reason, I want to shut my eyes to not see her again, and cover my ears as to not hear her happily enthusiastic voice.


    But I can''t...


    Not only I can''t reach my ears because of this weak and still developing hands. Even is I was able to do so, I will still lack of strength to pressed my ears enough to completely not hear them.


    When I closed my eyes, I only see more of the woman. She was doing something with the three men, which made me unable to comprehend. When I see them when I close my eyes, my chest suddenly stung by unknown substance, grievances also slowly creeping  me when I see the woman happily doing something to them at the same time.


    But... Is she really happy when she was doing it with the three men? I now doubt my judgment.


    The woman''s smile was genuine. When she smiles at me, it was more radiant than the light coming to the windows every morning.


    It was real...


    Even through the dark times the woman still smile. She smiled all of her problems before I was here. And she endured....


    I will also endure, for the woman''s sake...


    I will share her hardship by enduring.....


    By enduring, will the woman''s burden will lessen....


    She will be gone someday. For her sake I will not complain, I will not desire, I will not show emotions. Emotions will become my weakness and that weakness will cause the woman to worry and burdened.


    I was contemplating. The banging suddenly stops. I waited in my room as I didn''t move after I wake up. Looking at the ceiling above while my ears.


    Then the banging sounds suddenly stops.


    Then, I heard the door open, and footsteps follows.


    "Man... That was intense, to think she has that kind of side" (?)


    "Yah... Damn I can''t believe she take our huge thing easily, it feels like yesterday''s action was just a joke, we clearly dominated her yesterday, but now, alas..." (?)


    "I feel like all my stamina was gone after multiple sessions, can I even complete todays mission? "


    I heard them talking something, they voices seem to have mixed of amazement and exhaustion.


    "As expected of a mother prostitute, they do anything for their brats and gets lively when given gifts to them" (?)


    "Hahaha... To be honest I kind of like this new Celes, let''s say we when we get our pay we''ll buy that brat of hers a present and it will turned lively again!" (?)


    "Yeah! Although this time is a bit fast, it was also very intense" (?)


    "Come on let''s go, we''ll late at the meeting" (?)


    They ended their conversation after that then left as I didn''t anymore heard them again.


    I then heard a footsteps coming this way as it was getting louder and closer...


    The door in my room was opened and I saw the woman. Dishevelled hair ragged and exhausted written in her face. Unlike yesterday¡¯s haggard expression after she came out in that room. As I see her this time, she was brimming with happiness as she wore her usual brightly smile...


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Why is she happy about? I then found out...


    She didn''t said anything as she carried me at the empty room, well it was not empty anymore. I saw lot of new toys, with complete parts and clearly was brand new. I also saw clothes, they were many of them as it was folded and stacked like a tower.


    I could see them woman smiling at me.


    She let me down as I was now facing my new wooden toys. It has different shape and sizes to each other and some of it was animal figures.


    My eyes sparkles, such toys was I dreamed of and they are complete with parts unlike with previous ones. I too was excited after seeing many toys.


    "Look little one! Is it nice, those Uncles kept their promised see, see... You don''t have to wear that ragged clothes"


    Tears started to flow out of the woman¡¯s eyes. Yet she was smiling with joy. This was the first time I seen her like that. Does this woman was happy for my sake? Is it because I unable to show any emotions that she take it for herself and smile with joy for my sake?


    She starts undressing me. removing my loosely dirty-white shirt that has small holes at some part.


    I now wore my new pair of clothing, the woman smile more brightly than I have ever seen. And she hugs me and said....


    "You will get more clothes someday, and when that time comes it will not be from someone else''s pocket.. I''ll just be in the sideline as I keep watching you. I''ll watch you from the shadows; even you might not remember me when that time comes..."


    I listened to her. I didn''t understand her. But the feelings were passed on me. It was enough for me to know the woman''s objective. She might be thinking of leaving me in the future, but I will not forget her.


    How can I forget her? She was the first person I seen for the first time of my life.


    How could I forget that untainted smile of hers, that smile is so pure it could melt ice away and purify one''s heart.


    "Soon little one... We will get out of here, but for now we must endure..."


    She keeps hugging me and tears won''t stop dropping and made my new clothes wet with tears.


    This clothes...


    I prefer my old clothes. They might my ragged and damage, but it was wash thoroughly by her, living no stains or dirt. But this clothes....


    They are new and clean, yes.


    But for me....


    I feel as if I''m wearing something dirty. It was so dirty that I want to remove it with all of my power. Yet I can''t. She was happy then I''m happy. But I was still perplexing about this clothes I''m disgusted to wear. Is it because those men came here was the giver? Or is it that this gifts simply came from a dirty method?  it was so dirty that when I think of it, it made me puke with blood and shred this clothes into pieces.


    I will not thinking of this matter any further as it was still unanswered. I will focus what''s ahead....


    Many days has passed and the three men is still keep coming, bringing gifts with them. And the woman seems happy as they are walking towards the rooms they usually used. And a loud banging starts....


    It was also the last time I seen the three men. But other men came, I seen different faces every day. And sometimes I saw three different faces arriving in a different time in a single day.


    I have seen all of their expressions and their personalities...


    They were Evil and corrupted....


    That was the only thing I can describe of them. As the woman take in all the men with a smile always plastered in her faces.


    She was always exhausted, yet she still has time to take care of me. It made my heart moved. It also pains me...


    She worked hard more than enough..


    She suffered more than everyone else..


    I always see new red marks all over her body. And this time it was around her neck and small traces of swollen in her right cheeks. It made me burst into anger when I see it. I was powerless to protect her.


    But she still smiles brightly.


    She smile even hardship befall her.


    Even though she was in pain, she smiles just for me. This woman held for too long. Her body is already exhausted.


    I know...


    She was waiting for a chance. When she thought I was asleep, every night when the midnight comes. Droplets of water starting dropping on my cheeks as she keeps saying ''someday'' and ''endure'' with a sad voice yet with a mixed of hopefulness. I might not understand those words, but in my heart I know, I know it''s meaning.


    For now, I try not to be a burden to her, and she too will continue to endure...


    Part 3


    Another day comes. It''s been 43 mornings as I''ve been counting since I gain consciousness and awareness.


    As usual, new men came..


    I see two figures behind the door. One was middle aged man and the other one is a youthful male. The most eye catching to me from them was their attire. They wore shining metal suit that covers their entire body, except for the head.


    They reminded me of my new humanoid toys, except the have short attached to their waist.


    The two men''s appearance wore a great resemblance to each other indicating they were related by blood.


    "M-my lords" (Woman)


    The woman was startled when she saw the two. This was the first time I''ve her so nervous. She was shaking and starting to sweat.


    "Turn this boy into a man; I don''t want him to act stupidly in front of his fianc¨¦ when ''that'' time comes" (Middle aged man)


    This middle aged man has the serious personality base on his stiff expression and the tone of his voice. Many men came here, I''ve seen them all. And the only thing they have in common was they held deep desire to the woman. I could see in their eyes, as if licking the woman using their glares alone.


    But this time was different. I feel something in them that is different than the men that came here. As if the previous men I''ve seen that visited the house was inferior in front of them.


    "Father! You said you will bring me to someone to teach me to get stronger!" (Youthful male)


    The youth yelped at the middle aged man, he was clearly panicking on something.


    "Quite boy! I did say I bring you to someone to get stronger and it was here!" (Middle aged man)


    The middle aged man shouted at the youthful male, but I didn''t see any anger behind his loud voice, but it was a voice as if it''s scolding the youth.


    "B-but then..." (Youthful male)


    He didn''t continue his sentence as he looked at the nervous woman with mixed feelings. I could clearly see a guilt behind those eyes which was the usual looked to then many men I''ve seen..


    "Boy.. I didn''t lie about get you stronger. What I mean is we have to make you mentally stronger and when the time comes you can handle your fianc¨¦ with care. As a knight, we have to be elegant and gentle men at all time. That is including in bed too. You do not want to be ridiculous when that night comes, do we?" (Middle age man)


    The Middle age man has said. His expression softens when he was speaking to the youthful male.


    Why do I feel contracted all of the sudden? I just only watch them from the distant, but when I''ve seen that middle age man giving a gentle yet scolding verbally at the youthful male. It feels my heart sting and new feeling grew into me.


    As if I''m missing someone....


    Why does it hurt when watching this two men..


    Who am I missing...


    Why does this feelings surge in me this time...


    Why to I feel longing to someone all of a sudden...


    Some of these emotions I know of is ''jealousy'' but why?


    Why am I jealous?


    I received too many accumulated questions just looking at the two men.


    I will watch for now...


    "But father... What about our knight¡¯s creed. About protecting women and children is one of our teachings" (Youthful male)


    I could clearly see his hesitation of something. I guess aside from the men that comes here, there are too others that has a good personality and knows how to be reasonable from now and then.


    "Hmp... Boy, we must remember that we save our own people, and this ''thing'' was not one of those people" (Middle aged man)


    Base on the middle age man''s way of talking, I could tell he was disdainful of something or someone...


    As he looked at the youthful male who was perplexed about what he said and can''t utter any voice to reply. The middle aged man sighs and continues....


    "My boy. We won''t break our creed. I ask you, is there anything written in our creed about whores to be save? Or are there laws about whores to be forbidden to use?" (Middle aged man)


    "N-no, but..." (Youthful male)


    Before the youth continue, it was interrupted by the middle aged man.


    "Enough! I don''t want you complaining, this is for your own good. This is the last time will I say it... WHORES ARE NOT HUMANS! They were once humans that turned into animals that will only spread their legs with lust. They look like woman but not at the same time... Am I right? "(Middle aged man)


    The youth has now completely unable to utter anymore complaints, as the middle aged man, giving him preaching of something that was insulting as he look at the woman for answer.


    "Young master, the great lord is right. We whores have already abandoned our pride, dignity and humanity after selling our bodies to multiple men; we do not deserve to be humans as we only crave for pleasure. So you didn''t break any of your creeds since this was not the first time I''ve given pleasure to a knight. (Woman)


    She said those words with a calm expression, she didn''t show any reaction to the middle aged man''s taunting. And it was too calm is you ask me..


    I could see in her eyes. Light vanished; she becomes expressionless... as if someone controlling her remotely while moving along with the youthful male walking in ''that'' room.


    I didn''t remove my gaze at the door. This was my usual routine every day. I could only gaze upon ''that'' room. I only hear many noises from the woman and the youthful male.


    This was now becoming familiar to me.


    I got use to it...


    Different men come here. As they accompanied by the woman into that room producing different noises and sounds and made my mind more complicated and contracted. Sometimes I could hear she was hurting, sometimes happy, sometimes surprised and sometimes she wailed loudly.


    No one could hear except me the only listener to this wreaked house.


    I will not remove my sight towards ''that'' door. I will also ignore that piercing gaze that the middle aged has been given me. I need to focus and listen to the sounds.


    This is the only thing I could do for now or is it just this is the only thing that I could do?


    I waited and waited and finally they come out. The first that come out was the youthful male. She wore with complicated expression written in his face.


    This was my first time seeing someone didn''t feel happy after coming out in that room..


    Suddenly a burst of laughter came out from the Middle aged man...


    "Hahaha.... Boy, how do you feel? Oh, right! I should stop calling you boy from now on, hahaha..." (Middle aged man)


    "ghr" (Youthful male)


    Seeing as the youth grunted and has a complicated expression written in his face. The middle aged man laughed again loudly.


    "You should have seen your face now. That was the same face when your damn gramps bring me to a whore house and have my first time with a whore" (Middle aged man)


    I listened to their conversation. The middle aged man was still laughing loudly and the youth, slowly lighted his mood and smile and they having their conversation until the woman come out in the room.


    Then the laugher stops..


    The two men looked at the woman as she was walking towards them.


    As she got close enough, she stops then bows. And said...


    "Thank you for having me gain privileged of pleasuring the young master''s first time, I hope this whore didn''t disappointed the young master and come back again" (Woman)


    She said it with a monotonous voice.


    The two men looked at the woman. The youth male wore again a complicated expression while the middle aged man looked at the woman with disdain, as if he''s seeing something not worth seeing but forced to.


    "You, woman... How much for the baby.." (Middle aged man)


    With just a short sentence, the bowing woman immediately lifted her head with a surprised look.


    "M-my lord, M.my baby is not for sale" (Woman)


    I could see in the woman''s eyes were struck with fear. She fears something. As if her important will be gone in one wrong move.


    "Do not worry, I will adopt and take care of him. I could see in his eyes was intelligence behind that eyes and a tendency to be unyielding. He will be great in the future. He has a knight material in him!" (Middle aged man)


    He said it with a gentle tone with a mixed of excitement.


    But the woman was not moved by it. In fact she was more afraid.


    "I-Im really sorry, but my answer is still no...." (Woman)


    ''Slap''


    "Kya!" (Woman)


    "Father!" (Youthful man)


    "INSOLENT WHORE! do you know what you''re talking? I''m giving him a chance to live a comfort life and you a whore want to selfishly reject my offer. Are you mad?" (Middle aged man)


    The middle age man suddenly hit the woman in her right cheek, that hit was so strong she was send flying towards my direction and falls unmoving.


    I tried to move and reach her.


    But was no avail...


    I was desperate this time. I tried to crawl, but my legs couldn''t exercise more power. Is all I really could do to is look? Looking at the woman while she is in pain?


    I then heard footsteps. It was the middle aged man and she was coming towards my direction. But someone is faster than him as it approaches me and hugs me. The woman I thought was unconscious suddenly appeared in front of me. She hugged me gently and silently, she didn''t exert any noises. She was just hugging me gently, covering my body with her warmth.


    Yet the middle aged man didn''t stop walking. I could see that he was more infuriated by the woman''s action.


    "Y-You, do you really want him to suffered? Are you not thinking of his future? I will execute you immediately if you don''t remove your hands on the child" (Middle aged man)


    Even though I was angry at him, why do I feel that he has a good intention? Why do I feel that he has right to wronged the woman? But it doesn''t change the fact that he hit her. That is enough for me to harbour a hatred and anger against that man.


    "Even so... my answer is No!" (Woman)


    She shouted at the man with unyielding eyes. Yet I could feel her body is trembling. She was afraid yet she courageously protects me.


    "You!" (Middle aged man)


    His word is like a roaring wild beast.


    But he was halted before he could move another step. The youth suddenly appeared between us. Facing the middle aged man with a serious expression.


    "Father, it¡¯s enough already. We can''t force anyone to do our bidding that was written in our creed. Even though this place is not appropriate to raised a child, she is still a mother and we must respect that" (Youthful male)


    The two stared intently to each other without moving. This youth protected us without thinking of consequences. No... He really did think of the consequence of his action, he just couldn''t stand there and watch if such violence action was taken in front of him.  He was a very chivalrous and noble indeed.


    it was the first time I''ve respected a man this high. No... He is the only man that I respected to all of the men I''ve seen so far..


    "Haaa... You really taken the knights creed seriously, it makes me proud of you, but I also worried. Listen to me, you will need it someday..." (Middle aged man)


    I''ve seen the man''s face gone softened and removed from anger as he spoke at the youth. If my guess is correct,  he is teaching him some profound knowledge about life he has experienced.


    "Not all of the law as right. The knight¡¯s creed was just a basic foundation for all of the knights to follow. When the creed dictates that we should do an action that we thought it is wrong, you must follow what is right for you, that is the knight¡¯s way" (Middle aged man)


    "I will father... Then shall we go now?" (Youthful male)


    "hahaha... You''re really in a hurry to see that cute girl of yours! Fine.."


    They have seems to reconcile as the two men are laughing.


    As they are about to leave, the middle aged man looked at the woman with disgust and said.


    "Remember, a whore is not human, and a human baby is not meant for whores to keep and raised. You don''t deserve a human love and he doesn¡¯t deserve a mother whore. It''s my job to keep the society clean and prevent someone like you continue to spread. It includes the child. I''ll be back with authorities to get him from you. Enjoy while it last" (Middle aged man)


    Her grip in me was getting tighter and tighter as the man continues with his bombarded insult at the woman. She trembles more after the last two sentences.


    I feel her fear¡­


    It transfers in me...


    She was afraid to be alone...


    The door closed and silence remained. The woman also stops trembling. But her grip in me didn''t soften. It didn''t bother me one bit.


    We remain still for a long time. Sharing body warmth to me as it also includes her feelings on me.


    As if she got enough comfort, she then got up and bring me to the bathroom to wash ourselves. She breastfeed me after that the bath as were in the room which is my playground as she look at me with a smile. Yet that smile was unusual that I still haven''t perceived.


    We play all day since she hasn''t received any guest today...


    And that night her wails was stronger than usual, it was so strong it affected me. But I held, I didn''t burst my emotions. I will endure...


    "I know, I know... I don''t deserve you. But ''he'' will come to you and take you away from this place. Even he resent me, as long as he has seen you he will change. ''He'' might also take me away..."


    Part 4


    It''s been 3 mornings since that eventful day. And as usual men came in the house. This day, the woman received more than 4 men at different time and I could see the light is getting dimmer at the hole in the windows indicates that I was getting dark outside.


    As I was playing with my toys, a sudden knock came from the door. And the woman opens it and saw an bald old man.


    This old man is the most often to come here. And when the woman and he go inside ''that'' room she makes more loud noises than usual.


    "Celes, I came for the usual" (Old man)


    He was full of life and vigour base on the sounds of his voice. But the woman always wore a indifferent expressionless face when she was in front of this old man.


    "Yes"


    That was the woman''s usual answer.


    As she was about to walk the direction of ''that'' room her hands suddenly grabbed by the old man.


    "The room is too boring now, I prefer we do it in this hall" (Old man)


    He smirked at her and made the woman yelp in surprised...


    "Please not here!" (Woman)


    She pleads for something. She started to cry more than I''ve seen and heard so far. It pains me as I watching them, when the old man forcefully ripped the clothes off of the woman. She was frightened..


    She looked at me with frightened eyes.


    Is she frightened after I''ve seen her naked body?


    No, that¡¯s not it; we bathed together so I''ve seen all.


    Buy why?


    My answer lies at the old man. He was undressing himself and now fully naked. I could see healed wounds were all over his body and has a muscular body for an old man. He then looks at me and give an evil smile.


    "Oh~ it seems like I could hear loud moans than usual. Haha... Boy watched me while I mess with this whore" (Old man)


    "Nooo, please I''ll do everything, anything, just not here!" (Woman)


    She cried loudly and repeatedly pleading at the old man while struggling as he pushed her in the floor and the old man was on top of the woman.


    "You''ll do anything?" (Old man)


    He smirked at the woman.


    "Yes yes..," (Woman)


    She said it with crazy eyes. She wasn''t thinking straight as she keeps repeatedly said one word.


    "Then sell that brat to those noble knights" (Old man)


    The surroundings turn silent and the woman still processing what the old man said. Then she suddenly wails and cried.


    "Please ''hic'' anything but that ''hic he''s the only thing I got from ''him''" (Woman)


    As he sees the woman with disbelieve face, he laughs with joy. He laugh loudly that it vibrates throughout the house.


    "Hahaha.. It''s too late, I already received the payment, that brat will be gone tomorrow. Even if you beg you won''t see your brat again and you will work here forever gahahaha..."


    "Y-you¡¯re lying..."


    The old man said something to her, and made her face suddenly froze. She turns expressionless.


    She repeatedly said the last sentence she had said, again and again.


    And the old man was playing with her body. I couldn''t bear to watch. I might not know what they''re doing, but inside of me I fully know.... I just rejected the idea as it was horrible to imagine.


    The old man keeps playing her like a doll without strings. Yet the woman only uttered the same words over again without showing any expression.


    I hated myself.


    I was powerless...


    I was naive...


    Is this what they doing inside that room?


    You mean to say she is doing this before I was here?


    How many men did that one body taken all this years?


    Who am I?


    Who is she?


    I keep asking many questions but no answer was given. It overloads my mind that it made me passed out.


    Only leaving only the two individuals was active throughout the night.


    I sleep more than the usual. I don''t want to see what the expression the woman will make if she has seen me. I might hurt her if I produced a disgusting expression as the memories last night was still fresh in my mind.


    Even though I get the feeling that the woman is carrying me hurriedly, as I was bundled with cloth.


    I will still closing my eyes.


    Even though I feel that she was hyperventilating, as she gasps her breath and hit my face.


    I will still close my eyes.


    Even though I heard many angry roars, behind the woman as she runs.


    I will still close my eyes.


    Even though were currently escaping with uncertainty, heading inside the unknown.


    I will still close my eyes.


    For this woman, I will endure....


    To be continuing.....


    ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï


    If you¡¯re asking if this novel was reincarnation. The answer is no.


    It will reveal after the ENDURE PARTS.


    Haha.. I don''t know if the author experience this, but It¡¯s really hard to make multiple plots in a single chapter. So you might receive new chapter after 3-4 days.


    I already have ideas on the future scenarios but my English skill is very basic and I lack of complicated words to incorporate or expressing it to make a sentence.


    To be honest with you I learned grammars by watching world news like BBC and CNN...


    Tell me your thoughts about this chapter.... Thanks

    Chapter 6


    Introduction arc


    Enduring Part 2


    How many hours have passed?


    How long will this woman keep running?


    I was curious about what is happening around the place. I was curious about the surroundings. As I it didn''t know what is was like outside.


    I could smell fresh air as it tickles pass to my small nose. A fresh air that was not available inside that house jail. Only the men''s odor lingers inside the house. I always see them entering the house with a smell that would make me passed out if I go near them. They were like dirt that will not washed away even when tried, and the woman welcome them with her flowery smell. And they tainted her.


    Every day they tainted her.


    But this flower never loses its flowery scent and its colour. She never wilted even they trampled her dignity and pride. They only looked at her body, the outer appearance. They didn''t understand her; they didn''t look at what inside. Lust overcomes them.


    She weeps every night, saying many hopeful words. Hopping something or someone will come. I was there when she weeps. I understand her more than everyone.


    Yet I couldn''t do anything...


    Powerlessness crept in me...


    She always faked her smile when in front of the men. And the real smile was only for me to see. It''s was my privileged...


    Her smile was the only thing that keeps me sane from the dark world.


    Yet I couldn''t give anything in exchange for her kind smile. Her kindness and her love is the only thing is the only thing that I could have.


    I know now...


    She endure because of me, she suffer because of me. Yet she didn''t blame me, in fact she loves me more. It is keep getting stronger and stronger the more the men hurt her. She loves me more than anyone. I was the only thing that is precious to her; I am the only thing she got. And she is the only thing I got.


    That is why we hold on and never yield. She endure hardship for me with a smile plastered on her face, while I accepted that smile to keep me from breaking down by the woman¡¯s hardship as I watch her from afar.


    We need each other...


    She can''t let me go...


    If she let me go, what would be the woman be like?


    Will her smile will still be there if I was gone?


    No. That was not the case for her. She will break if I was not there for her. Slowly, that flower will wither along with her despair and regret. And when that time comes, she will be unusable. She will be thrown out and rot and the men will not care if anything happens to her.


    She can''t let me go and I don''t have a place to go if the woman was gone. She was important to me. She was my light from the darkness.


    On that night, the old man said something to her and made her despair. It was the despair that I haven''t seen in the woman. I was broken hearted.


    Is that why we were running? Is she running because of me? Is her despair that night and made I passed out from shock and undeniable of that event is because of me? Will we part from each other if she did not escape?


    Too many questions unanswered. But one thing I know is that all of this is because of me.


    Angry shouts and roars came from behind the woman. She was being chased by many voices I hear. Many curses were thrown at her yet the woman seems unaffected as she focused on running to her might.


    She keeps running. Even though exhausted to the point of collapsing, she didn''t stop. She knows if she stops running, that will be the end for her and me. That wasn''t an option for her to choose.


    For a while now, I realized the voices are getting fainter, and finally no more...


    Then suddenly as the woman runs, the light immediately dims of it rays. Even I closed my eyes, since I was facing upward as the woman''s arms cradles me, I could still feel its warmth. But while she was running, traces of light passes me. I speculate that the trees cover most of the light and we were currently running through the forest.


    Still, why do the pursuers stops chasing us? But it was actually convenient to us. Now, we could live happily upon escaping. The woman won''t have to suffer anymore. She didn''t have to endure hardship.


    I was emotional but I didn''t show it nor can I do it as I already used to hide my emotions, it unable me to make facial expressions.


    But I was currently happy...


    Upon the voices hasn''t heard anymore, the woman slow her running and finally stop. She rested as she leaning on something that I suspected was a three, gasping as she catches her breath. She was so tired I could feel her hot breath coming from her mouth.


    "Little one haaaa... soon we''ll get out of here. Just hold on longer haaaa..."


    Speaking while panting, yet I could clearly feel her excitement. I too as we will no longer bound to anybody.


    As I thought we were finally safe, I could hear again the angry noises.


    "Find her! No matter what find her! As long as the baby is safe and alive you could have the woman for yourselves!"


    I heard an angry shout, that voice I remember and was still fresh in my mind as he was the main cause of the woman''s suffering. That old man... He will pay for his crimes. But for now, we will lay low until I could gather enough strength against that sick bastard.


    The woman was startled and I could feel her shivering going to her arms directly to me. She was frightened, that was I feel.


    She then began running more than before as her trembling two arms tightly holding me to her bosom.


    She didn''t stops running. Even the voices were now again wasn''t heard, she keeps running to her might. Even though she was tired, her clutches in me was still the same with full of strength and vigour.


    I feel pity at the woman, but this is a must if we want to escape. If we were captured, we will surely separate to each other. The woman will lose all hope and will rot if I''m not there for her. And I too will be filled with vengeance to the point becoming mad as I might not see the woman again.


    She still can hold on longer. If not, my predictions will surely come true. Her willpower perceive for us to survive.


    After a long run, as she might think it¡¯s been long hours since I was not feed, she finally rested. She feed me through her breast that was my only source of food as I still didn''t have teeth to chew hard food.


    I also didn''t realize the time passes as I focusing my ears to hear the woman''s huffing while running. I was so worried and forgotten to feel hunger. Only then she directly put her breast in my mouth I realized how hungry I am.


    As I worriedly feel that the woman will run again after I finish feeding, I made my feeding slow to the point that the woman fully rested. Even though there is a risk of the pursuers getting caught on us, the woman is my main priority.


    For now we will endure...


    ¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô¡ô


    It¡¯s been 2 days. The woman continue running, only to stop when she feeds me. Even the time I given her to rest, the accumulated stress and the strain in her body was getting build up in her.


    She now stagers while running. I couldn''t even call it running as she was currently swaying. Given the days of exhaustion, in my opinion only a strong person could manage to travel such a long distance.


    These 2 days of travelling, I could feel sometimes she jumps, sometimes climb. She manages them all while she¡¯s holding me. While running, I could even feel her picking fruits as she use her one hand to pick it up and the other hand is on me as she eats it while running.


    I could feel her resolve and will power as she tenaciously runs. I admire her stubbornness to not to give in. And in this few days, I began to plan our future.


    This woman has already suffered enough. It is my turn to give her what she didn''t have in the past. I will make her life comfortable, caring her to the point that she wouldn''t need her feet to walk.


    But for now I need to grow. I will need to gain power enough to backup my dream for her and our future. That dream. I will make it come true, but first we need to escape and secluded ourselves until I could gain power to make our dreams come true.


    For now I will consider this a childish dream.


    Even though something is telling me we were missing something or someone. We didn''t need them.


    We don¡¯t need them, we don¡¯t need that individual. Only the woman can rely on me. And if someone comes into our life, I will make them suffer. I will inflict them pain the way the woman feels in the past.


    Only me, she only needs me to feel happy and I will give her happiness that she deserves.


    The moment that time comes, she will not again weeps with sadness every night.


    She will not need to fake her smile when encountering someone.


    She will not be hurt as I will protect her like she protected me.


    She will not needed neither use her body nor can anymore men could hurt her for us to survive.


    That blossoming smile of hers will continue to flourish as I will fill her with care and love and nurtured that smile.


    The dark times of the woman is no more after we successfully flee and I will grow to be strong enough for our dreams to come true and to be fulfilled and live happily.


    Those are my ultimate goals and will attain them by all means necessary...


    After finally running for many hours, the woman seems to rest on her violation. And it made me happy as she has now finally loosened herself as the pursuers seems no longer after us.


    "Little one, I wonder where we are? They say the forbidden forest is dangerous place and full of monsters. But I couldn''t see any in these days of our travels"


    I could feel she was perplexed on something and she continues to walk. I finally open my eyes as I didn''t need to close it anymore as I didn''t feel anymore grief after that wretchedness event.


    I was now full of anticipation after this as the future lies waiting to uncover. And I kind of excited as the moment I opened my eyes, I see trees everywhere they are tall and I hardly see the top. And the chirping birds I hear all the time, I could now see them.


    They are different birds varied with different colours. And a filled of flowers that I could smell even from afar. Even though this was the first time I''m seeing them, the moment I saw something, I could already guess what it is. This kind of ability was very convenient to me. As if things I still didn''t know is already inside my head as they waited to be uncovered the moment I see them.


    "Ah! Little one, your finally open your eyes! You know if you still didn''t happen to open your eyes I will be worried you know"


    I looked at the woman and see her happy yet it has a mixed of worries written on her facial expression. I must have been made her worried; after all I didn''t open my eyes even once within two days. Even she feeds me I still didn''t open my eyes.


    But now as I was so excited and I was beginning to feel the freedom without restraining us. It also added the fact I was really curious about the outside world


    We were finally free from the shackles bidding the woman and I who feel my feelings becomes heavy by the coming days as I see many men everyday inside the house, has now becomes light as a feather as if I could fly. Our heavy burdens have now uplifted and nothing will stop us from attaining freedom.


    I tap the woman¡¯s hands as I console her and telling her I was alright. As if she knew my message, she smiled brightly. A small gaps of space in this condense forest as it passes through the light rays shines as it focus on the woman like an angel who gently smile at the child she carry, a picturesque scene indeed. This was the brightest smile I ever seen.


    And this smile is from now on will I see every day.


    "The hardship we endured at that house will not continue on this day forward. I still couldn''t believe we managed to escape. This must be what they call motherly instinct to protect their young. Not that I deserve to be called a mother. If we manage to escape little one, you must be strong ok"


    I see on her face with mixed of emotions. Regret, sadness and hopefulness.


    "I''m sorry little one... I''m useless, even we manage to escape we still needed money and I have to sell my body again"


    I watched and listen yet didn''t understand what she said. Only emotions passed in me.


    "Hehe... Don''t worry about me... This time the money I earn will not be as little I earn back then... After I earn enough, I could afford to send you into school and you will meet friends"


    Her eyes were now moist as she was in the verge of crying.


    "And you don''t have to worry about them finding out that your mother sells her body for money. After all I have yet to name you... I will send you into academy and you will live there when you¡¯re old enough. And you will have a different name and will have a clean background"


    Why does this woman want from me? Does she have a plan already set for me to follow? But I have my own plan.


    "Little one, even ''he'' was not here nor was hoping ''he'' will come for us or only you, you must become strong. This world is not showing mercy on the weak, don''t become like me... No matter what you faced up against, you must not give up. Giving up means you¡¯re already dead"


    She has a serious look on her face; I could clearly feel as if she was desperately teaching me a life lesson. This woman suffers a lot and experience many unfair tribunals at her.


    "Don''t worry child, as long as I''m alive no one will hurt you... Hehe, not to mention we finally escaped, our lives will now be easier from now on"


    She talks a lot. She talks more than when we were in that house. This time, no more gloomy days for us and a bright future lies ahead for me to uncover.


    While the woman walking through the deepest part of the forest, she discovered a pond with considerable size up ahead. This was my first time seeing a large body of water aside from the bathtub in our house that we used.


    The pond was clear I could see down from below. As the sun rays reflects the crystal water making the pond look like luminescent crystals that moves as the air breeze touches the pond.


    Such a beautiful place and no one will not utter any bad reaction. And the woman also agrees with me of that beautiful place.


    "W-wow... I never knew this kind of place exist, this fairly tale like place that only could read in picture books and we were luckily to discovered it little one"


    She continues to walk, slowly...


    I could clearly see in her face that she was excited by the beauty of the place. Upon coming out of the thick rows of tress, Flower field could be seen around the pond. The smell of sweet variety of flowers is dancing around my nose.


    It kind of made me excited. Seeing a beautiful pond was the first for me. I then looked at the woman as she was in dazed. She finally snaps back as she smiles more brightly upon seeing up close at the pond.


    "Hehe... Did I finally bless by luck from the gods as they allowed me to see such wonderful place?"


    She''s muttering something and looks at me with a smile.


    "No, that''s not it... A tainted woman like me isn''t even worthy to step on this grounds"


    She then kissed me on the forehead. This was the usual thing she do when she feel more affectionate towards me. A deep kiss on the forehead is enough for me as I feel I could do anything as it imaginary boosted me with strength.


    As she feel that it was enough, she continued to walk at the nearest tree as she settled down in it shades. A gentle breeze coming towards me and made me sleepy as I feeling comfortable at the fresh air that bring along by it.


    This was luxury for me as I hardly breathe fresh air inside the house. Only by getting closer to the close windows that have a fist size hole that I could somehow slightly feel the breeze outside. But this time, I could fully enjoy them.


    I drifted into sleep. It was the most comfortable sleep I ever felt. No more waking up in the middle of the night by the woman''s weeping as it now changes into a gentle humming and it made me more comfortable.


    This time we stay unmoving for many hours as I also feel that the woman also peacefully sleeping as she still holding me tightly. As I rested enough, I looked at the woman and see her relaxed expression. It made me happy as I was thinking that she might have nightmares after what they have done to her.


    A mentally strong woman like her was a rare find, and I was lucky to be with her.


    I didn''t move a muscle as I was afraid to disturbed the woman''s sleep. Still, my head slightly tilted as I look at the scenery as if it came out of a portrait that a famous painter could only imagine and dreamt about this place.


    And I was looking at it with three dimensions. It was currently night time. And the landscape changes into otherworldly sight to be hold.


    This was my first time I saw a moon. It so big and round that I might imagining it to be closer to us. Base on my information that within my head, the moon is very far away that only the gods could go there. Such an already huge thing is very far away, I could only imagine how big it was if I could get closer to it.


    I was truly blessed. I could see something only can everyone could dreamed of. The moon was big and releases a luminescent light as it reflected on the calm pond. Firefly¡¯s releases its light as they dance at the calm surface of the pond. Sometimes, one or two touches the calm pond and create ripples in the water.


    Their activities added to my dream like state that I enjoying the scene in front of me. It made me emotional but I don''t know what kind of emotion it is. It was a mixed of happiness and sadness.


    I knew our state of situation now is still not what you called safe; we still need to get out of here and find a new place we call home, me and the woman.


    I was truly blessed...


    I didn''t know or comprehend that after this day is the last time I could see the woman again...


    PART 2


    Light slowly risen at the horizon, indicates a new day has come. The woman who was peacefully slept and fully devoid from fatigue has now energized. She is currently feeding me as we will be ready the moment I finished.


    The surroundings also return to its former daylight beauty as if last night appearance was only a dream. But I who witnessed its form that night will forever remember it for the rest of my life.


    As I already finished feeding, the woman readies herself as she can now continue and begin her travel. And I who she carrying is also coming along.


    We venturing fort to the depth of this forest. If my thoughts are right, the woman was planning to pass through the forest, at the opposite end where we came from.


    But I could clearly tell by the surroundings, there are no path to walk indicated that this place was still uncharted forest. And we were the first sentient to explore it.


    It made me feel uneasy. This feeling of uneasiness started after we leave the pond. As if something will happen...


    A premonition some sort a dreadful feeling creeping in me.


    The woman though, she looked happy as she is fully revitalized after a long rest. I''m now begun to feel worried...


    Before, I could still feel birds chirping at the top of the tree or the ones that currently flying. But now, I didn''t hear any sound of them. Only the woman''s steps were heard.


    She jog throughout the journey, she was not currently running as we have now confirmed that the pursuers already has been lost.


    It made me uneasy though...


    And I couldn''t do anything...


    I was thinking if I make a unnatural movement, the woman will surely notice and halted her travel. And that is not what I want.


    This feeling, and I sense something... If my information is correct or instinct is currently driving me to be alerted, we currently inside someone''s territory.


    I also feel something is lurking behind the shadows. I feel their presence yet I could not identify them or what kind of thing they are, and it made me feel anxious.


    My only wish was for us to escape safely and the one''s lurking behind the shadows will ignore us.


    But that was just a wishful thinking of mine. I could hear growls behind us. It was loud enough that even the woman could hear and was startled by it.


    She travel in days but still haven''t encounter any predators on her path and loosen her guard. But as she hears the growls behind, she looks back but couldn''t see the ones who were making it. She was now wary around the surroundings.


    Many pairs of red light was seen behind the large bushes, it camouflage them to prevent someone from seeing them directly.


    As she looked around while walking warily, sensing any dangers around. The woman saw many pair of red eyes, she showed a shock and fear expression. And immediately runs to her might.


    This was the greatest fear I have encountered, I curse my prognostication about what will happen. As the monster behind the bushes saw the woman run, they finally came out as I see what they really look like.


    A ferocious beast that was tall as the woman''s height, with huge four sharp claws that could tear the woman in half, piercing red eyes and grey fur like steel.


    The information that''s within me could guess what they were. They are magical beast called demonic wolves. They were once ordinary wolves that naturally evolved by living in a denser filled elemental essence region.


    Living in a dense elemental essence filled environment could cause a creature to evolve. For example of this was this forest. By having large densely pack trees they can produce nature elemental essence or a land filled with volcanoes can produce fire elemental essence.


    The demonic wolves are rank 3 magical beasts and numerous in numbers inside the forest. There are 12 ranks of magical beast, the lowest are rank 1 and the highest are rank 12. After a magical beast made a breakthrough from the 12th rank they become a heavenly beast and base on their species, they can gain intelligence like the average humans.


    That is all I know for now. I couldn''t unlock more information within my head as it was insufficient because it needs a certain trigger for me to gain information.


    There are 13 demonic wolves that are chasing us. Even though I was in the woman''s bosom as she held me in two arms. I could feel the 12 life force even though I couldn''t see them. I could also feel the energy that is emitting within them and one of the wolves emit more power than the rest that I suspect was the pack leader.


    The magical beast is strong for an ordinary woman. She couldn''t outrun them. But as if they were playing with the woman, they didn''t dash forward to attack; they maintain their speed just behind the woman.


    Many minutes later the excess energy of the woman is running low and has now exhausted. She wobbly still runs, but it was for naught. As she nearing to the point of collapsing, she trip and fell.


    Although I who she carrying also involved the moment she fell as she was carrying me, I was not hurt. She instinctively protected me as she covered me tightly in her arms.


    She mustered her strength to get up. I wish for her to abandon me and use me as bait to lure the magical beasts while she gets away. If that happens, I will not blame her. In fact I will be happy to finally be useful for her.


    But she still tightly held me in her arms, never letting me go as she mustering all her strength to get up.


    As she gets up halfway, I sense one of the demonic wolves coming this way fast. Killing intent is surging in the wolf.


    I know what''s coming next...


    This is over to us...


    Our future...


    Our dreams...


    Until the end I was a burden, all I could do was watch. This was the only thing this body could do, just watch and listen.


    Watch the men enter the house and tainting the woman...


    Listened to them, unknowingly what is happening inside the door...


    Watch her get raped by the old man who turned her that way...


    I agonizing in pain, filled with sorrow that can make anyone mad, yet I endure. For the woman I would do anything for her. I will endure for now and wait until I grow up, that was I always in my thoughts. My plan for the future has gone wasted.


    Until a while ago I was happy and filled with dreams for us to fulfil has now gone wasted. And I could only watch.


    "Kyahh!" (Woman)


    I could feel the wolf is now within the range to attack. It then swipes its claws at the back of the woman. She let out a scream and fell down again. But I wasn''t hurt as she again protected me.


    She mustered her strength to stand up again but was now weak to even lift her head. All she could do now was whimpering. Tears of pain and sorrow engulfed the woman. Yet I only watch her pitiful sight.


    "Please... ''Sniff'' somebody... My child... ''Sniff'' At least my child..."


    I understand her the most, I could tell the woman''s experiencing now. Even she is the one was hurt, she is thinking of my wellbeing. She was not hurt physically, that is the expression I read in her.


    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    I know...


    Even until the end she is thinking of me. Yet it is too late. No one will go to save her or me...


    At least we will die together...


    Our miserable life would finally end...


    No more pain...


    No more enduring...


    If there was an afterlife, I would like to see the woman again. And we will be together for eternity and no one will hurt us.


    I finally gave up...


    My only regret is I wasn''t helpful to her till the end. I couldn''t make her life comfortable. My dream will remain a dream. I burden the woman till the end and it was my fault.


    No more hiding my emotions...


    I want to release it...


    I want to cry till my eyes gone red...


    But no tears flow in my eyes...


    My emotions remain expressionless...


    I wish I could cry, just this time I want to cry so I can join with the woman''s weeping. I want to join her sorrow until the end. I want her to stop her tears by placing mine in her stead.


    But no tears were form, I force it out but not a single drop was form. Yet my heart aches, it was more painful than I ever felt until now. It was my heart that''s crying for me. That is also fine...


    Now I will wait for our end and wish we could meet again. And that will be the time will I repay the woman to a thousand fold.


    As I waiting for our end, I noticed the eerie silent. The growling of the wolves quietens that I could hear someone¡¯s footsteps.


    I couldn''t turn my head as the woman held me tightly as I was facing towards the sky. So I use my sense to feel and found an enormous energy. What I feel was an enormous energy that compressed into a humanoid form. This energy signature is similar to mine but a whole different level.


    If I''m a fist size stone this humanoid was a mountain. I feel like a flickering light that is ready to suck by a bigger entity. It alarms me, telling me that this being was the most top of the food chain.


    The footsteps were not the noise made from stepping into the ground. I know since the ground was a soil and not solid that could make any sounds.


    These steps came from the entity''s energy. I sense a faint energy coming from its feet and made her elevated into the ground. Every step makes faint clapping sounds. As if it was walking into a fabric of space itself.


    Unlike the energy of other people or creatures that are only the size of a tiny dot of light, this entity was like a humanoid that oozing of its energy as it scatter around so I couldn''t tell what gender it was.


    This entity was not in the information within my head. By sensing the entity, I made a constructive imagination to figuring what that entity is. By using my sensing ability I could construct the outline of the humanoid entity but it''s purely made entirely white.


    Base on the outline, it appears this entity was a female. She was shorter than the woman.


    The female suddenly stopped its movement. She is facing our direction...


    "I will only save one of you" She said...


    I could feel coldness from her voice, with a hint of arrogance and ruthlessness. It reverberated in my mind that this girl is dangerous. She is more dangerous than the wolves.


    The woman suddenly looks at me with a smile, a gentle smile.


    A smile of farewell...


    "Little one, it is the end for me... But you can continue to live... "


    This is her last testament, her will... I couldn''t understand but I feel... I will listen for now.


    "hehe... This must be the gods will for me to bring you here, and I thought I escape on my own ''cough''... Listed to me little one... No matter what do not hate her, she will love you in my place"


    I clearly understand her...


    But why will she live me?


    I''m fully sure that female could heal the woman.


    But why will she give me to her if we could be together?


    "I encountered many people little one, don''t hate her okay? It might be hard for you but we are used to endure. You must endure on your own and someday she will love you back"


    I couldn''t think straight, but I listened to her from my heart. It engraved in me, it is her last will and I will follow. I listened intently and ignore the howling misery of the wolves from the background.


    "I''m sure you can do it, after all you came from me ''cough'' little one you must remember ''cough''.... No matter what she is, what she did in the past or what will she becomes in the future ''cough'' even she hate you or hate herself ''cough'' even the world will end.... You must be there for her and support her..."


    She forced herself to talk; her face is pale and is in pain. The every words she said, I will remember it for the rest of my life. I will keep my promise, but my heart might not. I will leave it to destiny or fate to guide me if I could love her or not.


    For now, the most important to me is the woman; she is my light from the darkness. She is my first love and might the last...


    My faith is still with the woman, even after her life end. I will keep my promise because of my faith for her. I will see the end of her last will. If the girl is unworthy of my love or she tosses it away, it will end my life. But If I see a glimpse of hope for me to love her that will be the time I will not hesitate to purr all my heart and soul just for her.


    As I was thinking deeper and planning my next move, I suddenly felt all the wolves¡¯ life force is gone. They are probably dead as I expected. I could also felt that the girl is now closer to us. She probably observing our miserable state and it kind of pissed me off.


    "What is his name?"


    An icy voice was heard, this girl clearly didn''t care for us. I started to begin to hate her.


    "Name him... I-I''m undeserving" (Woman)


    The woman mustered her last strength to move. Her grip in me remains tight even though she was dying. She then lift me up with all her strength with her trembling hands that any moment could lost its strength.


    I now can see the girl looks like.


    She has a silver hair and silver eyes, her features are beautiful yet cold. She was an otherworldly beautiful that could not easily compared to anybody. But the look in her eyes is not is not that of an ordinary person. Brutal, merciless, power hunger, arrogance, egoistic....


    That was it''s telling me by just looking in her eyes.


    She reluctantly reaches me and finally grabs me in her two little hands. How could I love such a person? Can even she love herself? Can somebody like her change?


    I began to worry; I might not fulfil the woman''s dying will. She could not be love...


    She is undeserving...


    Only the woman is capable to love me but not her...


    I look at her... Beautiful my foot! In my eyes the woman is much beautiful than her. She does not deserve my love. I couldn''t do it if it¡¯s my strength alone.


    But for the woman''s will, I will give her a chance. But I must give her a warning. The information in my head also gives me abilities. My super senses were one of those even though it''s incomplete. I haven''t named this ability yet since I didn''t know what its full capabilities; it means I have to wait until it fully developed.


    I also have other ability. It allows me to talk telepathic to others. I didn''t use it to the woman as I was afraid of her reaction. She might become afraid of me and our lives will never be the same.


    ¡ôYou are not worthy of my love ¡ô


    I said it with full of hostility. Yet the girl just looked at me, I could feel she already knows what I am. She just smiles at me. Gentle smile on the outside but her eyes is full of viciousness.


    "Lyaga"


    That is what she said...


    Suddenly information within me could tell what that''s mean; it¡¯s an ancient word that is lost in time. This girl is mocking me!


    "Lyaga" (Woman)


    I could feel the woman is now dying; she was delighted by the name the girl given me. Then if she likes it then I embrace it and I will now forever called lyaga.


    ''Arrogant one'' huh.... It might not feel bad.


    ''Thud''


    I feel the woman''s life are now gone. The woman I deeply love in all my heart.


    My first love...


    My everything...


    She died... She can finally at peace.


    No more suffering will come at her. If I given another chance to see her again, I will grab it with all my might and never again let go. When that time comes, I will make her happy and she will never know the word sadness.


    I didn''t cry nor did I grieve. In my heart I know she is with me. She will watch me from afar and guide me. It also adds the fact that her face is very peaceful, as if her suffering has been lifted. She can now rest in peace...


    It''s my turn now to suffer.


    But I will endure it just like the woman endured hers. Just like the woman wishes me to become. I will become strong, strong enough that can protect. I need strength to protect.


    For now only strength is needed, I still hasn''t decided to love the girl. I will evaluate her every movement.


    If she finally deserving to be love. With all my strength, I will protect her just like the woman. I will observe for now and gathered power if that time comes...


    PART 3


    She didn''t speak again. I then saw the woman slowly disappearing and turning into particles as it scattered in the air.


    The girl did something and I was grateful for what she done. I wouldn''t want her corpses to get scavenge or rot. It was unsightly to imagine...


    She then walks out at the site. With the blink of an eye, the surroundings suddenly changes. I didn''t know what happened and was now confused.


    The place I was in was very bright. I could smell flowers everywhere. As I getting use at the light, I then see a new place.


    Back when the woman and I stumbles a pond when we were travelling, it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.


    But this was on a different level.


    Whole scenery was a work of art. We were in a place that is full big and small trees. Each tree was like it was made to be very attractive to the eye. Because of its perfection which I couldn''t describe or explain, it also glitters as it flown out in the wind. There are also orbs of different colours hovering everywhere.


    I then use my sense to identify the orbs. They are fairies! Within my information, they were extinct after a great war that occurred from the forgotten times.


    The woman begins to walk through the forest. Minutes has passed, a different view was seen. We were now looking at a mountain. But on the side of mountain was a castle.


    The castle looks like its glowing. No, it¡¯s literally glowing, this enormous castle erected on the steep of the mountain. Even though we were currently far away, I could tell that this castle was carved and part of the mountain since the mountain also hold the same glow as the castle.


    Such a work of art was priceless...


    It couldn''t buy by any means even if they beg...


    The scenery suddenly again changes and we were now at the front gate of the castle. The gate was enormous and has an intricate design that is made of gold and jewels and mostly silver, just like the colour of the girl¡¯s hair.


    The gate immediately opened itself, and a line of people was seen at the side of the straight road up to the castle main door. They are all women and have the same uniform.


    But I was shocked by their faces. They were beautiful indeed, what truly shocked me was that they hold the same appearance.


    This hundreds of ladies that line''s at the each side of the road as they face each other holds a same face that I couldn''t tell who''s who.


    They wear similar uniform of black and silver like dress that covers their whole body up to their feet and only the black shoes are only seen.


    ""Welcome home your highness"" (Everyone)


    The girl simply ignores them as she continues to walk through the line of identical women. Just like the girl¡¯s look, they wear an expressionless face. They remain that way and haven¡¯t made any movements.


    I could clearly tell that they used to it. They used to the girl''s treatment to them, to the point that this is the only purpose of their existence.


    Since the woman carry me in a position that I can see at the back. I looked at their expressions, they didn''t move a muscle but their eyes locked on me. Yet their heads slightly move after the woman walks through them.


    I sense relived in their expressions and gaze at me with pity. Guh! Why they pity me?


    As we arrived at the end of the identical women, a woman who was in the middle of the lines was seen. She wore a face that is different from the others. She has a different uniform to the others. She wore more elegant than the others yet they hold some similarities to the other women.


    "Welcome home your highness, the bath is ready to use as you ordered. Would you like to go in now?"


    The woman said in front with a smile on her face. At least this woman has expression in her face as her smile at the girl was full of bloom.


    "I will, and this thing" (Girl)


    She then hands me to the woman. I met the girl¡¯s gaze. As usual she wore a cold piercing eyes and thorny tone. She clearly didn''t care about me.


    I know now what they were saying. New information flown into me and immediately understands their language. A ''Thing'' huh....


    She called me a thing, which I didn''t retaliate as I remembering the woman''s will. I will endure for now.


    "Wash this thing... He got me dirty with his filthy body" (Girl)


    I keep silent, I known that she knew I could talk using telepathy. As if she is taunting me to retaliate which I did not do.


    "What do I do after I wash him?" (Head maid)


    "He will become a servant, teach him knowledge that is applicable to a demigod to use, that ''thing'' is lyaga (Girl)


    She didn''t wait for the woman''s answer and continue to walk at the castle door which automatically opens for her to enter.


    "Lyaga?" (Head maid)


    The woman was confused at the girl¡¯s words... I didn''t feel any anger since I expected the girl to do that. I remain constant and light headed. It takes more than words to make me give up.


    ¡ôLyaga is my name young lady ¡ô


    I used telepathy to inform the lady since I thought she was confused at the girl had said.


    "Lyaga?"


    ¡ôYes she named me as such so I wish you call me that name, and I don''t mind ¡ô


    "I-I see, but... O-oh my calling me young lady fufu...." (Head maid)


    She then began laughing happily; I did say young lady since she looked younger than the woman who used to take care of me.


    "Right, since his her highness orders me to wash you I will do as she commanded" (Head maid)


    She then brings me to a certain room.


    All this time I live in a barren house that even rats never lived in, literally. Many broken furniture was in the house that was remain untouched and creaking floor that you would get scared if you walk at night.


    The room we were now in was big as the house I used to lived in, with crystal chandelier that emitted light to light the room, a big bed that has its own roof, floor that so shiny and clean you could see your own reflection. And not broken furniture. Each of the furniture is like a masterpiece on its own rights. Even the big mirror that is plastered at the side of the wall was made of silver and gold frame.


    I feel like a beggar who entered a noble''s house for the first time. I didn''t show in my expression though, as I only inwardly shocked and awe.


    "Well lyaga, welcome to my room. Oh I haven''t introduced myself, my name is Mirmir I''m what you called chambermaid, I am in charge of cleaning her highness room and also the head maid of this castle. I supervise all of the servants you see..." (Mirmir)


    ¡ôNice to meet you Mirmir  ¡ô


    She then entered a room at the opposite end of us as she walk in and as I see what inside, it was the bathroom, there was a bathtub that could fit multiple people and it''s not exaggerated to say it was now called a pool.


    In fact all of the materials inside this palace are a work of art, ranging from the floors to ceiling. The owner of this place sure loves art.


    She then strips me naked and begins or bath. This was the first time I bathed with others aside from the woman so I was slightly nervous.  Mirmir then strip naked and carried me to the large bath. Her body was beautiful, no scars or any blemishes are seen on her body, and all is pure white and smooth skin.


    ¡ôBeautiful ¡ô


    I blurted out in my mind, her perfect curves and beautiful face could make any man drool. And I hope I didn''t unconsciously use telepathy as I was thinking a strange thought.


    "Oh my! Thank you... Fufufu, you know when you grow up you too will be handsome lad and if that time comes I might eat you up.."


    I guess she heard it huh... But what''s with the last sentence? Although I didn''t understand it I feel something on that meaning, I pretend I didn''t heard that. Well it''s not like I''m embarrass about this situation. It''s just my honest and pure thought and for some reason I didn''t think any lewdness as I looked at her body. It must be because I''m still a child and still developing.


    She is washing every nook and cranny of my body like the woman does but there is the difference of how she handles me. Since I didn''t have to do as I let her washes, I was thinking that this is the time for me to gather information.


    ¡ôCan you please tell me about that girl?  ¡ô


    I''m in an unfamiliar environment and in a very grandeur palace. I specifically need information on that girl to make an assessment on her. The only thing I know is that she seems the most important figure here. As I said it, she suddenly stops washing me and suddenly the surroundings become eerie.


    "Listen to me; you must not be rude to her highness... One wrong mistake will be the end of your life"


    Huh, I don''t understand what she''s saying. But the atmosphere she''s making is making me dreaded of my future. She noticed my silence as I didn''t reply and continue....


    "I''m sorry lyaga, I''m not allowed answer your question... You see, she created us out of nothingness and because of that her will is our will, we could not make a fault of her. No, we were not allowed to think about it. She commanded us to not question her orders.... She is what you called a True god, the pinnacle of the most powerful of the god class. A being that has power to bend natural orders"


    I really don''t understand what she''s saying or find it meaning, but her words is agonizing for me to listen. As if behind her smile and cheerful personality was a poor woman who suffers for a long period of time.


    It was different than the woman that used to take care of me. Her words was restricted for unknown reason, she is not allowed to cry nor even allowed to express her other emotions because of a restriction. That is my evaluation at her words.


    I''m already used to read people base on their expressions and the tone of their voice alone. This young lady is only capable to smile because she were ordered to smile and that¡¯s all to it. But her tone of voice is different; there are many different meaning behind that tone of hers.


    Resentment, fear, anger... All negative emotions were mixed in that tone, she resent somebody, yet she could not do anything since she is eternally bound and could not fight back. Even I ask her if she is angry, she will not answer it, even if I ask if she fear the one she is bounded with, she will also not answer, but her eyes will tell the different story, I believe the eyes is the gateway towards the soul.


    That girl was the culprit. All I know is that she is powerful beyond my imagination. She could do anything she wanted.


    If my guess is correct, she could heal the woman I was with. Yet she didn''t. I know in my heart that was the case even before we enter the castle. In fact, It was after I feel her massive energy that I know she is powerful and almighty.


    I didn''t hate her because she didn''t save the woman. The woman already done her job, she taken cares of me and loves me with all her heart. I was everything to her but she was already exhausted. Not mentally nor physically but spiritually. She already reached her limit. That''s why she died happily when she saw that I was safe as she finally done her part.


    What I hate is that, behind those cold heartless eyes, I could glimpse an innocence and purity in her. Yet she concealed it. She buried it deeply that only just a glimpse was seen.


    I know now...


    Just like me, the woman is capable to tell a person''s personality just by looking. It might be that it''s one of the reasons she handed me to her. She could tell the girl''s personality, the one that is concealed.


    I understand now...


    She wants me to open her heart again...


    She wants me to make her smile someday...


    But it will be harder...


    She sealed her heart for a long period of time. She might not remember again the matter of love. Is that the messages the woman conveyed to me?


    From now on I will face hardship. The woman knew, that''s why she warns me in advance. She knew it will be hard. But she believes in me...


    She knew I could do it. One steps at a time. That will be my method.


    I will stitch her heart back to its former form. If it¡¯s successful, she can capable to love again. Sacrifice is needed. That is me.


    From now on my heart and soul will be battered by the girl''s offense. But I will not give in. I trust the woman''s guidance. This is her will...


    I decided


    No matter what the girl does to me. So long as my heart and soul is burning with passion, I give up. Even she threw me away, I will return to her side.


    Even she hurt me, abuse me. All the matter is her heart will beat again. I will warm her with love unconditionally.


    But first I need information about her, but the young woman Mirmir is not capable to give information about the girl. Think.... There has to be a loophole on this.


    If my understanding of her words is correct. When I ask about the girl, she refuses to answer as it was part of her restrictions. Then what if I ask her about herself?


    She told me she was the head maid, that''s means she is the closest to her of all the servants in here. If I ask her about herself, I might gather information of the girl''s actions....


    ¡ôI understand, it must been hard for you and the servants... To be restricted that is ¡ô


    I first need to lure her away and forget what I ask question before. If she is bounded to the girl and she is her master, it might mean the girl can monitor every moves the servants made and might also heard our conversation. I need to be cautious...


    "Hehehe.... You''ll get used to it"


    She laughed weakly... Just how much does she mentally suffer?


    ¡ôI noticed the other servants has the same faces, why is that?  ¡ô


    Although it''s a part to lure her and made her forget what was I said, it''s also part of curiosity. You wouldn''t see hundreds of beauty with similar faces in your entire life.


    "Oh that. They are the 3rd generation of her highness mass creation of servants"


    ¡ô3rd generation servant...does that mean there is 1st and 2nd?  ¡ô


    Base on my observation. The servants I seen that lined up at the side of the road is the one who work here and shared a similar faces, only Mirmir was different. I already know some of the information about that. It also added Mirmir''s warning...


    "They are already gone... I''m the only one left of all the 2nd generation, that''s why my position is higher than the rest"


    I could feel sadness in her voice. She didn''t say they were killed by the girl. She avoided saying it as her fear for the worst is getting killed, and I will not push her to tell me completely.


    ¡ôI see... Then, could you tell me about yourself? I mean you¡¯re allowed to tell me right? Since we will be co-workers from now on, so I wanted to know about you ¡ô


    "My, my... A six month old baby is hitting on me already, hehe, does your genetic information shared from your god ancestors included women hunting?. Well I wouldn''t mind telling you but after the bath ok"


    Yeah, I did it. Although I feel something wrong about what I said and Mirmir''s answer was also strange, but the last sentence gain me an entrance about her story.


    After we were done bathing, she carries me to the large bed as I lay on the soft and comfy bed... As if I was getting suck under. Such comfortable bed that I didn''t feel even at that house I used to leave.


    Mirmir also lay on the bed as we were closer to each other that I could feel her breathing and I could smell her sweet scent.


    "What I will tell will be our secret okay?"


    ¡ôOkay, I promise ¡ô


    She smiles at me then she closed her eyes for a short period.


    "It all starts when...."


    To be continuing.....

    Introduction arc


    THE SERVANT


    PART 1


    It¡¯s dark nothing but all dark. I wasn''t capable of thinking nor do I have physical form to move. But suddenly, light came out of nowhere. It was so bright that the darkness washed away and replaced by the light. Then I came into form.


    Along with my form was information...


    It tells me of a duty to deal with...


    I was already wired to do just one task and nothing else...


    To served one purpose and duty for my creator...


    I know my role...


    I was made to serve...


    I gain a body. Slowly materializing out of nothingness, this body was a slender body with only little muscle, a body that looked like incapable of fighting. Base on the information I gained, this body type is called a female. It was much weaker than what they called male, but this slender body was just an outer appearance, a shell to hide my monstrous power. I am more capable than any others. I was created by a mighty being that can bend natural laws and order.


    This was the first time I felt alive, I can now smell, I can now see, I can now touch, I can now hear and many more other senses. But I am bounded; I was restricted and powerless in the eyes of my creator. I was not free the moment I was born. I have a duty and my sole purpose was to serve.


    I was not the only one...


    Upon my awakening, there are others like me. Thousands of naked women lining up in rows and I''m the part of it. I wish I could be special but I''m not. As if the creator is making a mockery of us, she gave us the same appearance, a same features that could not be distinguished just my looking alone.


    We lived to serve for the rest of our lives...


    I looked at her...


    She looked like a powerless creature. Much more smaller the us, a petite body, but that just an appearance, what inside was a raging beast that could crush a mountain and spilt the seas, she can easily kill us without exerting much force. That figure was in front of us as we were standing there and looking at her in dazed.


    This was the first time we seen her, but we know who she is. She¡¯s the one who we will serve and protect for the rest of our lives unconditionally. She is a young girl with a white sleeveless dress, silver hair and silver eyes. A feature that so delicate that she look like needed to be protected.


    But her eyes tell the different story. It''s like a ranging beast that could devour its prey with a single bite. Like tempest that will shred the one who will go closer to her. The look in her eyes was like a blade that could cut you in half.


    The moment I saw her, I knew freedom will be just a dream, bind by her authority and subjected to her whim.


    "From now on, you will serve me without question.... If you do cause me failure, you will immediately executed"


    That was she said.


    She looked at us, as if looking to a lower life forms.


    Her tone didn''t have a hint of affection that I was expecting.


    She didn''t care about us. We were just created just for her convenience. A tool for her use and throw if damage.


    I might get this feeling that she is a bad person, but I couldn''t think of negative thoughts of her. I could evaluate her base on her personality but cannot criticize her. Something prevented me to rebel against her.


    Even if I think of negative thoughts, it¡¯s immediately suppressed then disappeared completely.


    We were not free...


    Her words are the laws for us and we will execute without question.


    "Yes your highness!"


    That was our reply. Our reply was synchronizing to each other. As if we were thinking the same. We are the new servant for her to use. Thousands of us will serve a single powerful individual. I may have a hint of pride to serve her, but that was just a superficial thought that was put in my head and it might be the same as others.


    My life will begin now...


    Serving a ruthless goddess...


    It will test my mentality of her atrocity...


    *****


    The *Creation field* that was where we created. We are currently inside our goddess''s core where part of it was the *Creation field* the part that could create life. Only white space was seen around and I don''t feel I''m stepping on something yet we stand on something length.


    Without any warnings, we were suddenly transferred on a large hall.


    The hall was dimming with darkness, a colour of dusk. But within this semi-darkness hall was a light. It is in the centre of the hall, it rays light at the centre that came from the top.


    And at the centre of the hall was a throne, the throne was big and tall yet with enough room to sit a small person , it has a intricate design of silver and gold and imbedded with colourful and shinny gems.


    The one sitting on the throne was our creator. The master that we¡¯ll forever served, willing to die for her cause.


    She gives off an untouchable aura that we couldn''t reach. Wearing an appearance of a noble goddess and will be worshipped by us unconditionally.


    We the creation was not within the Influence of the light. Darkness covered us. We are undeserving of her light. We still haven''t proven ourselves to be useful of her.


    We currently wear a stoic expression. We didn''t know any emotion for us to express. We lacked of common sense, only the information that given to us was the only thing we currently have. And I doubt we can gain emotion that wasn''t programmed.


    "Now, go to your respective position that I have given"


    "As you wish Your highness" (All)


    We know our role...


    That''s the last sentence she had said and we immediately go to our position.


    I may have a strength that could kill a powerful beast with ease, but my role was not fighting. I was given a role to clean.


    The castle was vast, and some of the rooms were not what it seems. When I first entered to clean, what waited me was a garden.


    Spatial room, that was it called. Only a higher being can manipulate space to expand or shrink and the only one I think of who made this room was our creator.


    This kind of thing would be impossible for us; even the thought of me bending the natural orders didn''t cross my mind.


    There are many art that was displayed all over the places, one example was the rows of paintings plastered on the walls when you walk on the hallway and also in the rooms, there are also sculpture of humanoid figures that placed all over the palace. One thing the arts hold similarities to each other is the depiction of pain and agony. Paintings shows men and women drowning of what it seems to be a sea of flames or a hundreds of different races eating each other''s flesh. The look on their faces was desperation; an eternal hunger that could not be satisfied as they could only do is devouring each other.


    When I see the sculptors, they show fear in their eyes. If it wasn''t for the fact that they are made of stone, I would misunderstand them to be alive as they were like a living being. In fact I speculate that they used to be living that turned into stone.


    Since the master ordered us to clean manually, my own spatial storage that part of my core was full of cleaning tools. It''s very tasking at first when cleaning, since the palace was big and wide, not to mention some rooms is a spatial room which some of them has a size more than kilometre length and width. But I got used to it.


    *****


    How many years passed by? I lost count after three thousand years....


    At first I feel uneasy and some itching feeling to escape from this place. But as usual something inside me prevents me to do so. This repeated action every day was like a torture yet I couldn''t express through emotions. I got used to it after the passed thousand years. And this passed thousand years, I didn''t see the creator. In fact the only time I seen her was the time when we were created and after that she''s nowhere to be found. I heard from the senior servants that she only shows up every two to three thousand years.


    There was conflict between other creators that what they say and the only thing I know. That''s why even a servant that is created to clean was also made to fight for emergency measures should this place is invaded.


    Can we even hold on when a same kind like our creator invaded this place? I wish that they will not care after they came here and find out that our creator was not here. But my worried was dispelled when I figured it out that this place was filled with barrier.


    Incredible was not enough to describe when you see the barrier that is erected like dome around the palace. I tried to read the magic formation array that was used but the complications of the magic barrier made me give up halfway. The only thing I found out is that the thick barrier consists of thousands of thin different barrier.


    Every thin barrier that as thin as a paper could hold a powerful attack. And even though someone could pierce through it, the next barrier will hold them off. And the type of barrier magic would not be the same as the last one. If the first barrier could only repel physical attack, the next one could reflect ones attack.


    I even heard from the senior servants that there was once a dragon that tried to destroy the barrier but only electrocuted after attempting destroying the last barrier. When I ask what happened to the dragon, they said it was alive until now and I found out that it happens not just once but multiple times.


    That dragon must be strong to par with the power of our creator. And by listening what the senior servants said, I understand that the creator and that dragon hold a large enmity to each other.


    I didn''t ask anymore, It''s not my place to pry on the creator''s business, I got my job to execute and been doing it for the last thousand years. I also began to love my job as I could go in and out to many amazing places within the palace.


    But as years goes by, my eyes finally open as horrors only filled within me. It happened when the creator Silviana-sama finally going home, while we the servants wait for her arrival as she informed the head of the servants ahead of time.


    As we waited in front of the large gate which is the entrance of the palace, a ball of light descend from the sky, seconds later the ball of light form into a humanoid which is the creator. I was startled when I see her face that is fuming with anger. But she still retains her beauty even when she''s mad.


    I might not know why she''s angry, but I got the feeling that she¡¯ll use to vent her anger. And the first one to be use as an example was a servant from my generation who arrived late. When she see the servants who just arrived at the same time as her, her eyes became more vicious and killing intent surges from her.


    "Didn''t I say that make a single mistake will cost you your life!"


    I shiver down to my spine when I felt her killing intent, especially when she spoke grudgingly. One single sentence was enough make us kneel on the ground literally. It''s like an instinct telling us that if we did not kneel we will suffer the same fate as the servant.


    "I..."


    *Splat*


    Before the servant could explain, it was cut off by the sound of something like soft object and sound of water falls on the ground.


    I know that servant died. I was just escaping reality. Even though I didn''t have intimacy from the servant that died, she''s the same as my generation; we are related by blood and features. My sister of some sort...


    Upon her death, I also felt the dread of me becoming next. It feels that the one that died was me as I feel her pain, regret, suffering and anger. My emotions become chaotic, it¡¯s overflowing me. I tried to suppress it as I was afraid to die, to die a meaningless death.


    We wore stoic face but the truth, inside, we truly are afraid. This is the first time I truly felt that I could not do anything, powerless in front of an unimaginable force. If Silviana-sama wishes for us to kill ourselves, we will do it without question. That''s what I''m afraid about.


    "Hmhp!"


    She proceeds as she walk passed us while we were kneeling. Our heads lowers as we kissed the ground. If I could see her face, only disdain will I received. Her authority make us into lower than worms. She didn''t treat us as a person but a tool to vent her frustration and anger.


    I just realized now that this place was like survival game and we were the participants. If we don''t do right, we will immediately be killed. I might pity the servant that died but my own survival is my top priority.


    I don''t want to go back into nothingness, it''s much worse than I''m currently in. I don''t want to not to feel, see, hear, smell and think. As long as I''m alive, it''s enough for me. I''ll follow her orders without question. Just to survive.


    Her fury didn''t end with just one servant death...


    On the next day, another servant died. She was serving tea to Silviana-sama who is still fuming with anger and agitation for some reason.


    The servant felt the killing intent leaking in her. She trembles in fear and accidentally drops the beautiful cup with tea in it before she could serve it. The beautiful cup broke into pieces and the liquid inside scattered on the floor.


    A single drop of liquid touches Silviana-sama''s left foot. The already grumbling creator as she uttering something and cursing a dragon became angrier seeing a drop of liquid on her left feet. The servant could only watch her in fear and repeatedly apologizing. But no forgiveness was shown, just by looking alone in her eyes, the servant slowly turning into stone.


    After she fully turned into stone, her stone body crumbles and slowly turning into dust then the dust flew on the same direction outside then suddenly disappeared.


    I know every detail of what happened. Because when that happened I was serving confectionery along with the tea. I continue my work as if I didn''t see the servant turning into dust, I didn''t stop nor react. If I did, I will be next.


    I''m doing my job professionally, without a hint of dissatisfaction in my face. By staying neutral and ignore the deaths occurring to me, I will survive.


    Many deaths have occurred for the past hundred years as she stayed within the palace. They all died meaningless death, without any real purpose in life.


    I''m already accustomed and became more professional by my work. Failure means death, and this game of survival, all of the first generation servants finally died out, leaving the second generation. But we too slowly dwindling, out of five thousand second generation, less than three thousand remains.


    Not even once I see neither Silviana-sama smile nor she was in a good mood. Her face remains neutral or just angry on something. She often by herself, watching the sky as she was in dazed as if she reminiscing some past event.


    Many years of clinging for survival, she finally had gone. I was somehow happy as I can finally let myself to be relieved from stress to a thousand of years of calculated action without any mistakes. Only one a single sentence was given to us before leaving.


    "Arm yourselves"


    I was perplexed on what she said, not only me but also the others. After she''s finally gone, we did what she said and arm ourselves. Our spatial storage that used to be full of cleaning tools is now full of weapons. We now equip with magical weapons, ranging from spears, swords, bows, daggers. Mostly melee since not many of us were program to use range skill. We also wore silver armour that automatically will fit on us when wearing.


    We didn''t forget our duty and do it daily as it was the naturally for us to do. But our uniform was not dress with frills we use to wear but female armour, just as Silviana-sama commanded. Although confused, we didn''t question her. We might hold some grudge against her, but as her creation, we are obligated to follow her command. Not like we have a choice.


    Then war happened...


    While we were doing our respective roles, we heard a banging noise outside and found out that thousand of figures are outside the barrier as they tried to break it. They used different attack to break it but didn''t even put a dent in it.


    This was the first time I see other living being aside from Silviana-sama''s creation, particularly the one called male. Almost of them were male. But it was not the time to be amaze. Although they couldn''t break the barrier, there is still possibilities something will happened if were left unguarded.


    The information within me tells me that they are gods, but much lower than our creator. It¡¯s like comparing earth and sky. They are like fly that could  be squash anytime by Silviana-sama if she wish it. But she is currently not here. When she said to arm ourselves, this must be what she means.


    There are more than five thousand of them outside while more than three thousand of us, even though they outnumbered us and could par if one on one, we hold advantage when it comes to equipment. All of our equipment was a high grade item created by Silviana-sama.


    The order she''s given us was to arm ourselves, but is it just that? If we just stand there and watch them struggling to try to break the barrier, we might get punished if the order was not just to arm ourselves. And if they tried to break a single barrier we might also get punished as we let them do what they want while the master is away.


    We finally made a decision to retaliate as we felt that it fit to the order she''s given us. What it means to arm ourselves was to protect this place, that''s how we translate it.


    It might be wrong but it¡¯s better than do nothing. Not to mention if we did nothing while our creator is away, we might end up dead after she find out. We rather die in the hands of the enemies, rather than dying meaningless in the hands of our creator.


    With our authority as her creation, we''re allowed to pass in and out through the barrier. We only felt small resistant like diving into a pool of water.


    They''re currently at the midair as they''re capable of flight magic. We too also can, and with the armour we wear than can boost one''s ability, our power are now doubled.


    Three thousand of us versus five thousand of them...


    My weapon is a spear; this magical spear can used to shoot mana bullet at the tip of the spear using my mana as its energy. Just as we finally within the range to attack, we started to attack at the distance. We used long range attack that we can think off.


    Even though we all have the same physical appearance, our specialty using weapons or magic was not the same. If my hypothesis is correct, after we were created, we were given random skills. That''s why I can''t use other weapons except the spear.


    It made me happy, after all this is the only thing that differentiates us to one another. After reducing more than a hundred of them, they finally noticed us and erected their own barrier to protect themselves. When you looked at the barrier on the outside view, you wouldn''t see the palace below, only a thick forest was seen throughout the surroundings.


    It might be because of that they let their guard down, never thinking of a retaliation, as we suddenly appeared in front of them and started attacking.


    PART 2


    The battle goes on for 3 days and both sides didn''t want to back out. Unlike them who are attacking to their own accord, we are organized and use tactics to lure the enemy within our range and attack in groups. Our numbers only reduced to five hundred, while they are reduced in half.


    But our advantage didn''t last long as a new enemy suddenly sprung at the moment of the heated battle. This individual was more powerful than the others I''ve encountered on this battlefield. This individual was clad with wind elemental essence covering his body and couldn''t distinct what he looks like as his whole body was covered in bluish light.


    If I had known sooner that we were facing a Great-god, we could have escaped sooner...


    "Kneel"


    His oppressive aura made us kneel. The feeling of something heavy that is suddenly on your back and you couldn''t do anything. Even without ordering us we couldn¡¯t resist his oppressive aura.


    But it''s not on the same level as Silviana - sama''s oppressive force. That time when she released killing intent, that moment, every second felt like eternity and a premonition of death comes along. She could have killed us just by releasing killing intent and we knew that she was still holding back if not, we could have suffocated as we were unable to breath that time.


    We can still invoke magic to fight back; his oppressive aura could only cause us to feel heavy. But we didn''t think and comprehend what happen next.


    Instead of taking advantage and attack upon seeing us hardly move. It¡¯s a different advantage they made.


    They used magical rope to bind us as we are now unable to use magic because of the magic rope has sealing magic properties.


    What happened next truly made me panicked and afraid...


    For us, death was not a big deal as long as we died fighting. Emotionless as we are. But that was just a facade to hide our intention. For the past thousands of years of servitude, we slowly gain other emotions. Our stoic face was only used for Silviana-sama''s when we serve her.


    But what happed next made me going crazy as I was panicking. I unable to understand this feeling but one thing I know are that, when we created some emotions or personalities from our creator was transferred on us. It means we have some part of Silviana-sama on us randomly. This feeling I felt right now must be a part of it. Emotions that I couldn''t understand yet I instinctively somehow I slowly knowing what it is.


    It happened when one servant near me was stripped...


    A scum got near her and tried to undress her. But our armour is a magical one that could protect its wearer and it was like a part of skin to us when worn. But the most powerful of them, the Great-god just wave of his hand and caused the armour to shatter.


    They were laughing when they saw her exposed body...


    Seeing the looked on their eyes was like something that disgusts me. But I couldn''t do anything. I can only look at them scornfully. I was also trembling...


    I trembled in fear of what comes next. That woman is the same appearance as me; it felt like I was the one who is getting pushed on the ground.


    But they have forgotten something important or just they didn''t know.


    We have many locked abilities that could only trigger of a certain events. It can only be used as a defence mechanism that could allow us to escape depends on different scenarios or just protect our pride and dignity.


    This time I''m truly grateful to Silviana-sama, I''m thankful of her for giving us unlocked abilities and a chance to fight back and protect our pride and dignity.


    Even if we die, as long as we protect our most important and protective place in our bodies, death didn''t matters.


    The moment the scum put her thing inside, the servant screams down to her lungs then exploded. The explosion was not as large to engulf us; it was enough to reduce anyone to ashes within the five meter radius. <<Last Chance>> that''s the name of the now unlocked ability, just as the name says. We were given a chance to protect our dignity and pride in exchange for our lives.


    My locked ability same as the one who died is now usable. It allowed me to explode by focusing all of my energy to my core and make it overload. It''s impossible to use this ability to normal occurrence as it needs to widen the mana veins that connected to the core to passes though like a gushing tide. But now that my mana veins widen to allow me too simultaneously and rapidly flow directly all to my core, it will cause explosion when overloading.


    It might be the same as the others. The same as me, they were afraid as they tremble when they saw the scene, they couldn''t do anything and can only wait to their turns.


    But after the explosion happens, the eyes that were full of fear turned into a cornered predator. They eyes telling the enemies that should they touch or get closer, only death awaits in them, me include.


    I/we rather die than allowing them soiling our body.


    Multiple explosions happened...


    The one closer to the servants died and turned into dust...


    We''re not idiots. Even they didn''t touch us, so what? What if they attack at distance? We''re still dying one way or another anyway. We rather kill ourselves rather than getting shot by a long range attack.


    Since the moment the first explosion occurred, the enemies scattered around us as they were thinking of raping us but only turned into ashes as multiple explosion happens after the first one.


    The once thousand of enemies became more than just five hundred. But it also left us more than one thousand. This more than one thousand didn''t self destruct since we didn''t have enemies near us or they escaped the moment they figured it out what we were planning.


    It''s not like we are afraid to die but we were thinking that we will die along the enemies.


    The enemies panicked by our sudden action as they couldn''t came up with a solution. Include the Great-god leader. The strongest of them all and also the one to causes us neutralized. He could only grit her teeth as he observed us from above.


    Even though the shock wave of the blast wasn''t enough to kill a lesser god, it caused the tress to topple on the surroundings. Causing the surroundings came into full view.


    What have we done!


    That was my thought. Silviana-sama strictly forbids us to cut tress as it was used to camouflage the surroundings to make it more natural. That''s not the all of it...The first layer barrier was used to make the palace invisible from the outside view, It¡¯s a self sustain by nourishing itself by absorbing nature-type elemental essence, the barrier remain stable without us personally sustaining it with energy.


    Sustaining power to the barrier was impossible to us even with our large amount of mana to convert to different type of elemental essence. Only the first layer barrier was different and the other thousand of layers was powered by unknown power at the centre of the palace.


    The trees was made and modified by Silviana-sama to produce hundred times of nature-type elemental essence, and it was around the vicinity of the ten miles radius out of the barrier, because of that we wouldn''t worry the barrier being losing its power. And we just destroyed half of them during the self destruction by the servants...


    We weren''t thinking of the consequences this time as we were panicking at that time as our first thought was to protect our chastity by blowing ourselves. We rather die than getting our bodies dirty...


    With half of the trees destroyed by the self destruction caused by my sisters, the first layer barrier fades away and the palace we lived in can now be seen from the outside view.


    With my years of services in the palace, I took pride to the fact that I was one of the living here. Different space of different rooms, walls, ceilings and floors of the palace was hard and smooth without blemish and some was intricately carved the surface to look a work of art. Just by looking at every object in the palace was like looking at a very priceless treasure that even outweighs our life, making us look cheaper.


    As one of her creation, I share some of her feelings... I could not allow them see or even enter the holy place that only place for higher being to enter. I suddenly had an urge to want to gouge their eyes to prevent them from seeing our holy place. I want to cut their four limbs so that they could not touch what''s inside. The others share the same feelings as I do as they''re looking with contempt at the filthy beings that was looking at the now exposed palace with mesmerizing look.


    I want to stop them but alas... We were still bided. This ropes they bided on us prevents us to generate any mana. This sin we have committed could be called unforgivable in the eyes of Silviana-sama. Not only they saw our holy palace, we were the one that caused it. And the one will take the hit was the one who was still alive.


    Although, only the first barrier was destroyed, there is thousand more layer and the deeper you go the harder the barrier need to be broken. It''s impossible to destroy this impregnable defence...


    What I''m afraid off was not because the barrier was destroyed...


    My years of servitude earned me to got closer to Silviana-sama, I personally served her tea and snacks. And because I''m closer to her, I know her attitude than anyone else. She''s known to possessive when it comes to her things and is the number one caused the servant died.


    Put a small scratch on her stuff will cause your life to extinguish. If a single dust is seen on her art collection, the one who is responsible of the cleaning will severally punish and forever be remembered. If you break something, you will be tortured before being killed. I witnessed it all...


    I feel dreaded, and I was not the only one. The others also show fear in their eyes. The invaders were happily rejoicing. They also might be thinking we''re showing fear because our palace was now exposed from the outside and the rest they could also easily break. What fool they are...


    Then as if somehow she detected the large amount of powers gathering in one place. She descend..


    From above the clouds, descend a powerful being. Clouds circling above her and showers her with radiant light that came at the eye of the twirling clouds as she slowly descending. Her silver hair also radiates light as it fluttering like waves. Her face shows displeasure as she saw our pathetic forms and becomes cold when she looked at the invaders. And the look in her eyes was like looking at insignificant life forms, a dirt that contaminating the pure.


    This was different gazed that I''m used to, it''s not like the gaze of looking down nor she show any more expression. She just looks at them like looking at filth...


    The goddess we feared and respected...


    The one who gives us life...


    The one who doesn''t know the word failure and mistake nor acknowledging it...


    The one who can also take our life with a mere thought alone...


    "Who dared to attack my domain while I''m away!!" (Silviana)


    Her shout echoed throughout miles away, it was loud and filled with killing intent. I was shaken with fear and my body becomes numb. I couldn''t exert strength as I could only look up and wait for our sentence.


    I couldn''t run away. We can''t run away even we want to. We''re hoping she could spare us. As much as we want to self destruct, we wouldn''t dare as we''re afraid even our souls would not be safe by her clutches and might give us harsher punishment if we do so. Now that our precious and sacred place is secured and safe, the only one thing in my mind is survive. I want to live...


    "This place is now my property. All the property and rights in this place will be ours... *Smirk* including you..." (Great god)


    The leader talk back with a smug on his face, he''s also smirking while looking at our creator as if he gained a new toy. Such shameless he is...


    "Y-you! Do you know who I am?!" (Silviana)


    I don''t know if that lustful man has no eyes or couldn''t sense her power, he clearly didn''t regard our creator highly. Is he blinded by greed? Silviana-sama looking at him disbelieving like he was stupid.


    Silviana-sama has a temperament that could erupt anytime, she can''t tolerate any forms of insults nor do we hear someone insulted her. This was the first time she was insulted.


    "Not only you attack my domain but also attempt tainted my creations! This is a great humiliation I received for a long time... Death. No... Even death is not enough for what you¡¯ve done!" (Silviana)


    "Hahaha! The True Real will soon fall and our allies will attack and plunder that place... Even the powerful True god will fall against a millions of gods! Hahaha... A new age has begun!" (Great god)


    "I''m not related to any affairs and happenings that you lower life forms is causing and any ties I have in that realm was already cut" (Silviana)


    She looked at the enemy leader disdainfully, looking at him as if she was looking a disgusting animal. And her tone mixed with anger that vibrates along with words spoken. She might be using some sort of amplifier magic since I could heard her loud and clear as if she was beside me, even though we''re kilometres apart.


    "But you are related, ''Diabolic barrier empress''" (Great god)


    Hearing the enemy''s leader¡¯s words sarcastically, Silviana-sama raised her eyebrows. It''s an expression of confused or might just be related to what he says. Seeing she didn''t retort back as if she''s thinking of something, the enemy''s leader continued talking.


    "Creator of the 3 layer barrier, The 3 layer heavenly formation. It was proven its effectiveness that renders any attacks to nullify also the cause of unfairness that enable us to come at the centre" (Great god)


    I could see a hint of madness and anger at the enemy leader''s face that could not hide. Silviana-sama stayed the same, unaffected at the seemingly youthful yet angry appearance of the enemy leader''s face.


    "Hmhp! With the combined power of the thousand of true gods, I as a catalyst created a large impregnable barrier that could ward against even the most powerful Heavenly Beast. It was built that way by a the majority decisions of us to let you fools lived comfortably at the Great realm and Lesser Realm that is less dense heavenly essence, you lowly beings will immediately die from the over powered pressure as the remaining excessive amount of heavenly essence are concentrated at the centre where only the true gods could lived, and your telling me it''s unfair just because we didn''t let you enter!?" (Silviana)


    She''s clearly reaching her patient to the point of exploding. Just a bit more and she go berserk.


    "Lies! You think we didn''t know! If you bathed to a highly condensed heavenly essence one can become A True god, your bastards just want to manipulate it because you bastards are afraid to be bested by us"


    ¡°Believe what you want to believe, whether you worms can really breakthrough at the centre or not has nothing to do with me, and I doubt you weakling can even make a scratch on the surface or if it  do break it and it will immediately self repair itself instantaneously... You trashes leave immediately before I fully get angry on what you caused... I give you a chance. Leave and don''t come back or you lot will die here miserably" (Silviana)


    He clearly knew the identity of our creator, yet he still has a confidence to go against her. I''m not dumb to not clearly understand what he said... I may not know the affairs happening in heaven for the fact that we were living in the mortal realm, but what he said find me some clues that''s happening now.


    This lesser beings might have revolted against the True gods. What I didn''t understand is why they''re here? Since our creation, we didn''t see anyone accompanying Silviana-sama making us come into conclusion that she didn''t have friends. It might also add her aloofness as the reason why we were not in heaven.


    "heheheHAHAHA! Whether it¡¯s true or not you¡¯re coming with us! I¡¯ve already proclaimed you as my property, what do you say? If you come with us we will treat you dearly. Hehehe.. Every day multiple men come at you for a chance you could get impregnated and if the baby is a boy he will join our ranks and he will also fuck you without knowing who you are and if it''s a girl... Well~ you know what would the outcome be hahaha!"


    Laughter echoed throughout the surroundings, these filthy men filled with lust and was ecstatic, cheering, thinking they have already won.


    I was trembling with fear, but it''s not because that man''s provocation, it''s just an empty taunting and will not affected us, but the eerie silent from the creator. She was silent and didn''t reply. That silence filled with killing intent. I know that silence means. I was the closest to her so I know...


    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    The angrier she is the quieter she becomes. She tortures servants without batting an eye, expressionless and void from emotions. That''s what she is... At least it''s what I know of her. And she has the right to do anything to us, after all she¡¯s our creator.


    With a wave of her right hand, a large barrier that is larger than the barrier placed around the palace forms, entrapping us inside. It¡¯s so vast i couldn¡¯t see the end. Neither incantation nor any forms of preparation beforehand that could indicate of magic activation. It''s been casted instantaneously. This is one of the perks of a being called True god. They are beings that are the top of the gods rank, the pinnacle of supremacy, beings who born out of nothingness. Enables to command the natural laws and bend it to their own will and could create sentient life forms to their likings.


    The surroundings become a colour of shade as it dims what is inside due to the barrier rejecting light from outside. Hovering up into the sky, only she was there. Void from expression that she showed earlier. Not anger nor any sort of expression but just a plain expressionless face.


    Her greatness came into view; she radiates a glowing light as it slightly blinded us, illuminating us on every direction.


    She looked like a wrathful goddess as she smitten the ungrateful subjects that rebels. Expressionless as she was, yet her eyes fixed at the youth leader who has offended her more than he did. Her eyes flashes like she could look at your very soul. It may be able to even kill if the target was a weak willed person. Killing intent emitted to that pair of eyes which is the first time I saw, not because of the killing intent but because she looked directly at the youth leader which she normally doesn''t do to anybody as she is too prideful to looked at lower beings no longer than a second.


    I felt dreaded. Many questions came into mind, all of it was negative.


    We were included inside of Silviana-sama''s barrier, doesn''t mean we''re going to die along them? Oh I wish I died back then, there is no honour to die without purpose. These imaginary shackles bided us the moment we were created unable us to neither flee nor refuse any wimps of our creator.


    The only thing we could do is to wait silently. Our future is at stake at the incoming battle. No. It will be a one sided massacre.


    It might be me being thinking too much but this youth leader might be thinking that Silviana-sama was an easy prey. He might be under misconception of her to be just a barrier master that I''ve heard from my senior servants. True to what they''ve said, this palace is filled of barriers and comes with different forms.


    Being a True god and a barrier master to booth made our creator''s barrier profound and lethal. Supposedly, barrier magic could only use to deflect and reflect but hers is was different.


    The profoundness of her barrier was beyond my comprehension, deep and wide. Inside the palace, barrier used to make a special room without any leak or space distortion within, the piece of the mountain that was carve out the entire palace was coated with thin layer of barrier making it indestructible, even with my strongest attack attacking it would not scratch the surface even though it was thin as that you wouldn''t notice by observation alone. What''s make the thin layer barrier incredible was because it follows the intricate design of the whole structure of the palace, it¡¯s like a paint that covers every nook and cranny of the structure. The barrier is supposedly symmetrical to each sides to make it solid and stable foundation, yet her barrier is capable to liquefy the barrier like water which beyond my knowledge comprehension, proving her awesome might, moreover this was the only few of a thousands of different kinds of barriers I discovered within the palace that I hasn''t comprehend its magical structure as it was very profound, and if you''re not careful, a single touch of some of the barrier formation within the palace could caused you your life if not careful.


    Basically, she''s a master with barriers without flaws. Living for countless million years gained her mastery over many types of barrier which she could probably only use alone. The one she has just conjured was big that it''s encompasses miles away. This kind of huge barrier drains much more mana continuously; I couldn''t imagine how much mana she has. Not to mention god type beings or should I say the true god¡¯s offspring, their descendants and those who lived in the Heavens Realm should produced heavenly power.


    It¡¯s a power different from mana as it was more powerful, mysterious and refine. There are many uses of it. And the main thing of its uses was for converting it into mana producing huge quantity of it. That is the reason why we still hasn''t run out of power, because with just a small quantity of heavenly power when converted it into mana could be equal to ten times.


    I couldn''t imagine what the barrier could do. Moreover this was the first time I will see our creator''s prowess.


    I began to think positive. Watching a glimpse of her power into action might be worth something, even it could cost me my lives, i think my sisters would also agreed with me.


    Looking at her makes me felt like a pebble on the side of the road. We were totally ignored as she focusing her attention at the enemies.


    The invaders came back to their senses after seeing a instantaneously casted barrier. Grouping themselves in one direction where their youth leader standing.


    Fortunately for us, we wouldn''t be involved the upcoming battle since the scattered group of invaders has now in one place. Should they fight while they scattered everywhere, we would surely gain casualties to our side as we wouldn''t dare to move in our respective location afraid of our unpredictable creator.


    PART 3


    Hovering in midair, Silviana-sama after the barrier was erected didn''t move an inch. She seems to be waiting of what the invaders would do. As far as I know her, she wants her opponent thinking they were in the higher ground and as they were thinking they''ve already won, that''s the point she will experience to them the hopelessness and powerlessness.


    As if my guesses are correct. The enemy is currently casting a joint magic formation.


    Hundreds of remaining invaders forms a big circle on a plane ground and at the middle of it was the youth leader. Suddenly, a glowing light came from the magic circle that forms under his feet with four meter circumference.


    With all their power they keep pouring their mana in the magic circle, panting with heavy breathing they keep pouring their mana in the magic circle which connected at the centre which was absorbed by the youth leader at the center.


    "HeheheHAHAHAH, Behold!" (Great God)


    He suddenly laughing hysterically, he raised his hands and suddenly a fist sized blue glowing orb appeared in his hands.


    I was dumbfounded. That orb emitted a power comparable to our creator. A suffocating aura which made us breathes heavily.


    Such power... Why did that youth posses such item? And what is that orb that made me feel familiarity same as our creator?


    Strange indeed...


    Seeing the fist sized orb, Silviana-sama''s eyes twitch. She still wore the same expressionless face, her eyes was now darted at the orb.


    "Windia..." (Silviana)


    "That''s right. That selfish old woman rejected us, her own children and their descendants. Luckily bloodline still has its purpose" (Great god)


    "You...You killed your sovereign for personal gain... They made a right choice to distance themselves from you whelps. Those idiots, how could they be so stupid, falling into a trap made by this corrupted worms" (Silviana)


    "Hahaha! At first we lured them into our territory them boom! Even for them couldn''t beat ten thousand of their own bloodline simultaneously, they just die like that hahaha..." (Great god)


    "That proves of them to be weak, they still harbours a lingering feelings for their own corrupted blood and met a tragedy where they would choose to kill or be killed. Yet they choose not to kill their own kin and they pay a price for it, they could easily kill you all if they want too, it has nothing to do with all of you easily kill a True god with your measly power (Silviana)


    While the youth seems to gone crazy with power, Silviana-sama talks coolly without a hint of remorse or any other sign of emotions. Seeing her being indifferent of what he''s expecting her to be angry, her wildly laughter turned into angry one. Veins popped on his forehead and her face distorted into ugliness.


    "What was that bitch! We already have the capabilities to destroy a True god! You *Heavily breathing* you think your different than the others? Let me tell you, you¡¯re just a barrier master! This is what true power is like" (Great god)


    The magic circle began to glow intently, like a flow of water, mana surges fort at the centre like a countless of thin strands of glowing hair creeping on the youth leader''s body until it covers the entire body, looking like a glowing statue.


    The fist sized orb suddenly disappeared at the youth''s hand, yet I could still feel its awesome power. It might be faint but I feel it in the youth leader, as if it mended with the youth.


    "Hmhp! You dared to use a power that should only be for a true god to have! As expected of a corrupted trash" (Silviana)


    She looked unpleasant by the youth leader''s action, yet there is no nervousness nor did she show any action that looked like she was on alert.


    She clearly didn''t treat this matter seriously, but I on the other hand was nervous. No wonder that youth leader acting high and mighty. He actually hides a trump card that might rival our creator. The magic circle releases out light threads and slowly covers the entire body of the youth.


    Like a caterpillar for the first time got out in its cocoon, cracks continuously appearing every direction of the cocoon like humanoid shape.


    Slowly, small cracks fell and the creature inside were slowly come into view. The youth''s previously handsome face turned into a bird''s head with dark blue feathers. Standing with two feet that transformed into a birds feet and hands turned into scaly sharp claws. Behind his back sprouted a pair of wings made from winds essence and heavenly power, looking like a bluish light wings.


    His presence has a familiarity to it. It was the same as Silviana-sama''s presence; a domineering pressure emitted the both of them. He was now the same as Silviana-sama in terms of power. What was that orb that the youth leader absorbed?


    "Hahaha! Power! So much power! With this being the top will no longer a dream.... And you will be the first to experience my awesome might!" (Great god)


    To the point of collapsing, the men who exerted too much mana to the magic circle is suffocating from the intense pressure releases out off the youth leader body. Moreover, it added the fact that they''re closest to him.


    Luckily for us, we only felt less pressure because we were much farther from them.


    "A-ancestor, we can''t take anymore, please lower your power!" (Random men)


    "I can''t breathe properly ''cough'' (Random men)


    "Grandpa! Your grandson will die at this point" (Grandson?)


    The men plea and beg for their lives, yet the youth that turned into monster was pre-occupied, focusing his attention at Silviana-sama. Or he didn''t just care of what happened to them.


    "Shut up! You see I''m at the moment of glory! With this power I will be the root of my own bloodline! I will produce more children than my father... Thousands! no... Millions of my children and their descendants will dominate the heaven! Hahahaha" (Great god)


    "Drunk with power already? Hmhp! you even treat your own children badly. This is the reason why True gods didn''t anymore delved into the lower life forms matter, they had become foolish, greed and ambitious who doesn¡¯t know their limit" (Silviana)


    After hearing Silviana-sama''s remarks, the monster stops laughing and his eyes glinting with murderous intent.


    "There are now disposable to me. I will create new children far stronger than them. After the other clans destroyed the barrier that protected the True realm I could have seven or eight True gods women out of a thousand of them that would be expected to be captured to bore my new children. (Great god)


    "Father! Your son will follow you, please spare me!" (Son?)


    "Ancestor! I served for you since I was a child, as long you will spare me I will forever serve you for the rest of my life" (Random men)


    "Ancestor, my father is from the fire clan! If you kil....." (Random men)


    Without finishing the last guy''s sentence, a wind blade suddenly cut his head off cleanly, slowly sliding the cut head and fell on the ground.


    Seeing such spectacle, the surrounding men looked horrified. They couldn''t believe that their own ancestor, his own bloodline killing him without hesitation. The surroundings began to panic. They seem didn''t expected this kind of outcome. After all they help him to fuse that fist sized orb that contained an unimaginable power to his body.


    "Ancestor! How could you do this! We even helped you after you stole true core from the patriarch" (Random men)


    "Father! Lets us talk about this, No... Just spare only me I will be usef...." (Son?)


    Again, another head was cut off, rolling on the ground with a looked of shock and disbelieving of what just happened then second later died. Seeing the head as it''s facing the remaining men made the surroundings turned silent. Their faces told me their disbelieving of what happened, it also seemed that the latest victim is quiet special, calling him father or something.


    They paused at the moment and still prosing what has just happened.


    "Father noooo!" (Random men)


    "It''s over! Run!" (Random men)


    They regain their senses, and their tried to flee.


    But how could they flee? They are exhausted to the point of collapsing. Moreover, without enough mana fleeing is impossible. Even I could easily kill all of them in their current state. Blade of winds came from the monster''s wing flew at the surrounding men.


    Farther from them, we sisters watch the men tried to flee but immediately cut into pieces. Some are heads flying off; some was cut between their waists instantly killing them in the process.


    Silviana-sama wasn''t fazed at all at the viewed massacre. Living for millions of years and suffering many tribulations in life will make anyone battle hardened just like her. How many life forms did she killed before reaching to the peak of power?


    Meanwhile we sisters contorted with fear, we were currently felt dreaded and unable to move. Thinking if we move either that monster will noticed us and immediately kill us or our creator also might notice us and order us to confront that monster to test the water further.


    The surroundings is now grow silent as the last one was fell. And a real battle will continue...


    "*Sigh* much better, with this no more annoying pest. Oh! There still them... Oh well I''ll enjoy them along with my first baby maker hahaha!" (Great god)


    It gives me shivers after that monster looked at our direction. Before, I thought that guy was just an arrogant suicidal bastard, seeing him act like an equal to our creator as such. But seeing him now, I began to doubt a complete victory on our side.


    His powers are continually increasing as second goes by. He''s now looking above, focusing her attention at Silviana-sama, not minding us as we could only watch and our future are at stake, win or lose, I still couldn''t imagine a bright future for us.


    The monster''s body covers with bluish glow and his wings expanding up to seven or eight feet in length, bending his knees. With a strong flap of his wings in a blink of an eye, just a single second he suddenly arrived in front of Silviana-sama.


    Seeing him readying to use his claws, Silviana-sama didn''t do anything at all. She just casually glance at him and seeing her expression without a hint of worry made the monster flinched yet he continued his attack using his right arm in a form of clawing.


    "I''ll remove that smug face of yours!" (Great god)


    But before even the claws touch her, His attack preclude by a something hard. Yet the surroundings was devastated because the after-effect by the gust of wind produced by just a swipe of his claws.


    That hard object that prevented him to continue to harm her was actually a barrier. I wouldn''t surprise anymore after seeing her casting magic instantaneously, but with a mere split seconds before the attack hit her and instantly a barrier was casted without notice astounded me.


    Surrounding her was a barrier with a shape of a equilateral triangles with 4 faces at the top and 4 faces to bottom with 12 edges and 6 vertices, one vertices point at the top and also the bottom with the remaining four at the middle congregated the each end points of the remaining vertices. It''s like a glass as it reflected some of a producing light at the surroundings.


    A/N:I actually have no idea if this explanation is correct lol. Its dodecahedron... pm me if you have better explanation.


    "Hmmp! do you think a measly physical attack could harm me" (Silviana)


    "Heh! As expected to a barrier master, but can a barrier even harm me? Do you think I''m not capable of breaking it! Think again! I''m just getting started!" (Great god )


    After their sort conversation, the monster starts his bombardment. Punches and kicks, he uses any physical means to break the barrier, every attack produced a loud boom and shock waves upon shock waves of heavy gust of winds destroying the surroundings area 1mile radius. Luckily for us we still have a way to protect ourselves seeing as the profound wind technique was only direct at the barrier.


    A single profound wind attack by that monster will shredded us into a million pieces. Yet a title barrier master has proven itself. Not a single damage could be seen on the barrier it didn''t even shake; much less the position of Silviana-sama couldn''t be push.


    If the monster still has teeth, he would grit it out of frustration.


    "Then how about this!" (Great god)


    He backed away and his bluish glowing wings radiates more.


    "<<Heavenly art>> <<Tempest of destruction>> (Great god)


    With a flap of his wings, it produced a two bluish tornado that could swallow the entire palace each whole. I feel a power of profound heavenly wind technique to the tornado, seeing as it has a large quantity of wind essence in it.


    The two tornados hit both sides of the barrier, trying to sandwich her and swallow her if the barrier breaks. Seeing the power of the tornado, I doubt even me could last in second, I would shredded into pieces and disappeared.


    But the barrier still lasted the attack until the tornados began to weakened and then disappeared. Silviana-sama glances at the monster with bored expression.


    "Is that the only you can do, that technique came from Windia recorded in the core. I expected after gaining her power could also allows you to utilize its full potential. I guest an imitator like you will not exert its full potential huh" (Silviana)


    "Impossible! I can use all of its recorded techniques without flaws! Y-you! You lying bitch! Haaa!" (Great god)


    Hearing Silviana-sama''s mockery tone, the monster immediately loses his cool immediately. He tried again and uses the same attack he used before yet it produced the same outcome, the barrier is still intact and undamaged.


    He then uses other attack. With both hands rose up to the sky, a small bluish ball of light that is slowly getting bigger comparable to the monsters height of 6.7 feet and pointed at Silviana-sama and shoot at her with a speed comparable to a speed of light.


    Yet, the barrier still wouldn''t break and Silviana-sama still wore her passive face and uncaring attitude. She clearly didn''t take the monster as a potential opponent.


    Seeing the attack that didn''t work, the monster began shouting crazily, cursing her with words. I guess using his ultimate attack and didn''t work hurt his pride.


    He continues and used other methods. He materialized a wind elemental sword, slashing the shield, yet it still didn''t break and the sword actually the one that broke, turning into particles and disappeared.


    He didn''t give up and use other ultimate techniques, all of it could be considered high class even for me would die from exhaustion if I use just a single one of that attack, if I''m capable that is.


    For a long time, many minutes has passed and for the first time the monster has a hint of exhaustion. His eyes are bloodshot red after seeing all of his prided attack is ineffective against Silviana-sama''s barrier.


    "It''s getting boring, are you done already? Clown..." (Silviana)


    Honestly... Attacking the shield multiple with his most powerful techniques yet it didn¡¯t put a scratch on it, made him looked ridiculous. If it is against other beings it would be effective and could even be lethal, but against Silviana-sama would looked like his powerful attack was just a gust of wind.


    He already lose all of his face, his eyes filled with killing intent and hearing Silviana-sama calling him a clown severe his last tread of reasoning.


    "Whraaaa!" (Great god)


    He grabbed his pair of bluish wings and actually plucked it. As I was thinking he was finally gone crazy with madness. The pair of wing actually transforms into a crescent blade.


    He then rushed at Silviana-sama making his attack.


    "Hmmp! To think you actually use that kind of forbidden technique. Even Windia never use it. But, it may be the same techniques as hers but..." (Silviana)


    *Clang*


    The wing blade actually bounce off after hitting the shield and the momentum caused the crescent blade to flew out on his hand far distance.


    "You may capable using all of the recorded knowledge within the true core but you will forever not master it" (Silviana)


    "I-Impossible! I used my half of my life essence in that attack! W-what a-are you!?" (Great god)


    I don¡¯t know whether I''m happy or sad, seeing the monster now in full of despair. I''m stupid to doubt our creator''s might.


    "Now it''s my turn" (Silviana)


    Suddenly, a small magic circle with 4 inches circumference appeared on each faces of the barrier in the middle of each 8 face surfaces. Slowly, a cone shape varied with different colours appeared inside the magic circle until it stop growing after three feet in length.


    "<<Dodecahedron Barrier>> it has 2 function, one is the ''ultimate defence'' and the other one is ''attack absorption''. Now, what do you think happened to the energy you releases while you ramming my barrier... I''ll show you" (Silviana)


    The different cone shaped objects in the barrier suddenly glowing and its continuing to grow stronger. The black colour cone suddenly shot a black laser towards the monster.


    The monster was surprised at the sudden attack yet tried still to avoiding it. But he was still hit at the side of the waist area, making a fist sized gaping hole.


    *Roar*


    He roars loudly in pain, the hole was covered with a dark aura and no blood drop is seen.


    "I-I can''t heal!! T-this is... Dark elemental essence! Impossible!!! You''re supposedly a barrier master!"


    The monster stared widely in shocked at Silviana-sama. That dark aura is eating the monster very slowly that even blood wasn''t seen. I could also feel him exerting energy to heal his wound but was prevented by the dark aura.


    "Foolish whelp, what do think the title barrier master is supposed to be? Also, how long do you think we True gods lived? Do you think I can only make barrier? We already mastered all of the elements known to all, but we each have a respective field of types of magic and add different arrays of elements we individually learned, creating new magic that almost Impossible to copied by anyone" (Silviana)


    "Impossible!!! Then my power is the same as yours!!" (Great god)


    "Didn''t you understand what I had said? The techniques you used on me didn''t contain any profound comprehension. It''s just an empty shell, your grandmother''s techniques could move and swept a mountain and  split the sea with just a single attack, your nothing just a mere imitator without mastery..." (Silviana)


    "Shut up! Shut up! This very hand was the one who strikes the final blow that killed that unloving person! I refuse to believe you''re better than me!" (Great god)


    "Hmhp!" (Silviana)


    As he prepares another attack, Silviana-sama shot another beam. This time the red cone was used that contains a fire elemental essence. It prevented the monster''s advance and the speeding beam of red light passes through his legs.


    "Arg!" (Great god)


    He might believe that she''ll still allow him to continue. But seeing her bored expression made him feel dreaded. She might want to finish this soon.


    He stared wide and shock and also fear has now creeping in him. The pain in his legs was intense that he was heavily panting and droplets of drools came out at the side of his beak.


    He is now realizing the reality. He didn''t stand a chance against Silviana-sama at all and was only playing at him since the beginning.


    He raised his hand and prepares another attack. Suddenly hundreds of tornadoes appeared and completely devastated the surroundings; the area of the attack reaches us and was swept by it.


    I couldn''t see anything and Silviana-sama wasn¡¯t seen anymore as mountains of sand and rubbles and flying trees carried by the tornado.


    It lasted in just a minute but the devastation is very clear. All of the trees as my eyes could reach were pulled out from the ground scattered everywhere.


    The surroundings remain quiet after that and the monster was nowhere to be seen. Only Silviana-sama remains there, hovering in mid air unscathed.


    "Your highness... should we pursue?"


    I was the one who break the silence seeing as the others didn''t mention it as they were afraid what might happen to them if mentioned. I''m also the representative of my generation because I serve her closely and the highest survival rate of all them all. Funny right?


    "My companion entered my detection purpose barrier; she should meet him as she will cross the same path as him" (Silviana)


    That was she said. We were currently miles apart from each other, yet she heard me loud and clear, I also heard her reply clearly. Luckily for me she didn''t seem to be mad about his escaped.


    "Clean the area" (Silviana)


    ""Yes your highness"" (Everyone)


    With just one command by our creator, we immediately began our work. We disposed off the scattered bodies of our brethren and also the enemies. While Silviana sama returned to the palace as she passes through the barrier like nothing. Just how strong is that barrier?


    The power of the collision should be powerful enough to shatter it completely. Yet, after the invisibility barrier disappeared, the second layer remains undamaged. She''s a Barrier master indeed.


    Afterwards, we returned to the palace. Walking alone in the hallway I come across a little girl with jet black hair and dark eyes and have a dark glossy skin. It gives me shivers when she looked at my eyes directly. I stood there frozen meanwhile the girl passes me like nothing.


    She''s heading towards Silviana-sama''s room. I was actually going to question her as it was the first time I seen her in the palace. Luckily, I did not. That pair of eyes of her... Just like Silviana-sama, vicious and cruel. I might die immediately if I stop her.


    On the next day, Silviana-sama announced we enter a war and after the war, I was the only one remaining out the thousands of my sister-servants. Too many deaths of my sister numb me.


    It made my mind resolute and hardened as the many years goes by. I finally made the head of the servants of the new generation by Silviana-sama''s decision. With my past experience, until this day, no one died by the hands of Silviana-sama. I never hated Silviana-sama as I know there are more cruel and dangerous places outside. With my features that would caused trouble, many men will began to fight on me. I learned this when we participate the war and I began to hate the creatures called men after many near dangerous experience with them.


    *****


    Peace lasted for many years and the current generation of servants didn''t need for me to teach them to properly act correctly. It was too peaceful that I''m itching and hoping something major will happen. I might be hoping for another war for us to participate...


    I don''t get bored of work since we didn''t have capabilities or program to be lazy and feel bored. Yet with many years of peace and quiet making me felt devoid. Emptiness filled me and hoping to fill this palace with noise to make it lively.


    Is there a god higher that a True god?


    Sensing Silviana-sama approaching, we immediately lined up in rows at the front gate and greeted her. To my surprise, an infant Lesser-god was on Silviana-sama''s arm. All this years, I never saw her touch a person. Yet this infant was on her arms.


    Could it be? Her child? She''s been gone for a hundred years. Did she finally develop new feelings aside from a negative one? But it betrayed my expectations; she passed on me the infant and orders me to take care of it.


    Seeing her usual gloomy look that made the servants still feel nervous of her, this infant isn''t her. Now that I think about it, True god''s children all are Greater god and there''s only 1% chance to be conceived because of the women True god has low fertility rate.


    But still, this infant might be somehow special. I mean, I doubt she just casually picked an infant on the road as she took pity on it. It would be laughable if that was the case. She might even ignore the infant and left alone to starve or get eaten by predators.


    Living for millions of years will change your perception and values of life. I included...


    What surprised me the most was that this infant was a male. I may hate men but those men were corrupted with lust and greed in them. This child hasn''t experienced that yet. I could never hate an innocent child. Should someone teach him properly, he will become a fine man that women would dreamed to be together.


    As a head maid and the closest out of the servants (not included silviana¡¯s outside friends) I developed some kind of responsibilities of Silviana-sama''s wellbeing. And this infant made me thought of it as a good thing for her. And one day I will hope this child would make her smile one day.


    Our time is eternal; there will be the day when a budding flower will soon bloom.


    Let¡¯s just wait and see what this child will will do to Silviana-sama''s lives.


    PART 4


    "Dammit *Cough* just how big is this barrier? I came here to get my first woman after intelligence report


    says a True god lived here.


    I swear I''ll kill that bitch in the future.


    I need to get out in this barrier first and hide *Cough* that old man probably looking for me after I stole one of the two True orb in our possession..."


    ¡°¡±


    Flying in the midair, a humanoid life form with a bird''s head and bird''s feet could be seen. Its body is battered and beat-up and bloodied. His flying was slow and swinging from left to right, indicated of exhaustion as its struggling to maintain its flight magic.


    "Argg! Curse that bitch! It hurt so much!!! When I get my hands on her, I will fuck her day and night until she break!"


    Cursing the one who hurt him, his eyes filled with killing intent. His pride is shattered and no remaining faces to show. Attacking her then escaped made him cursing his breath. But what could he do? He lost pathetically and after stealing the True core from his father, a Greater god would mean he will be hunted and be killed.


    "I could only rely to the other clan for shelter... Huh?"


    He suddenly stopped as he looked at what''s in front of him...


    A little girl wore a black sleeveless one piece dress and she looked like 10 or 11 years old with dark shiny hair, dark pair of eyes and dark glossy skin and delicate facial features. One could see her as attractive even as a little girl. Imagine when she will grow up.


    "My my, what do we have here... rat who is escaping?"


    The bird head became alerted. He learned his lesson after underestimating his enemy as he see her as a attractive little girl but that proven to be wrong and made him to this state as he barely could flee, and if it wasn''t for his enemy didn''t pursue him he would be dead now.


    He suddenly fell into panicked as he observed her and couldn''t gouge her power. It was different from the enemy he confronted before since he could still feel its power. The only reason he lost because of the enemy''s profound techniques surpasses him.


    But this time was different. He really couldn''t feel the person''s power. His power suddenly risen, this was the last remaining of his power as he squeezes every last power he has to flee.


    He then flew at different direction, ignoring the intense pain all over his body.


    "Dammit! Just how wide this barrier!? I''ve been flying 10miles already! "


    The barrier is 50miles in circumference around the caster. It may be weaker but this barrier''s purpose will allow the caster to feel and detect all of the living things inside.


    After minutes passed, he finally arrives at the end of the barrier. He was relived seeing that the little girl didn''t pursuit him.


    "Now I just have to exert little force to break th..... Heh?"


    He was so focused in front he lowered his guard. Suddenly the surroundings became dark... He stared wide in shocked. Far from his place still has light yet his direction suddenly became dark...


    He looked back and sees a gapping wide jaw...


    What he saw made him disbelieving. A giant black snake, It was so big that it casted a huge shadow. Its mouth already opened, it so wide that it stretches a kilometre in length. The middle of it was the bird head monster looked like a small dot if seeing far away.


    "Noooo!"


    *Snap*


    As fast as lightning, the giant black snake closed its mouth, swallowing the bird head monster in site. The giant black snake sliders up in the air, this giant black snake¡¯s are 20miles long and you couldn''t barely see the end of its tail. It suddenly began to shrink and its body glows bright white light and transformed into a girl.


    The girl is the one that the bird head monster comes across.


    "Phew~ that should appease my hunger for now, oh! What''s this?"


    Suddenly a bluish glowing orb appeared in her hands. After seeing the orb, the girl suddenly become cheerily becomes happy like a little girl from her ages has.


    "Fufufufu.... Is it my day lucky today? Not only that invasion allows me to have a opportunity to collect hundreds of thousands of Great core and lesser, now, after arriving here as I want to show my loot to my little dear Silvy I come across a weakling who has a True core... Oh right! She should know I''ll cross his path. Hehehe... I better thank her for this"


    After talking to herself with a childish voice she flew with a speed comparable to a light''s travel as she heads to the palace direction.
