《The Ascension Games》 Prologue Part 1. - Year: 2020 - - Somewhere in the outskirts of Kanagawa, Japan - *Yaaaawn* I blinked my eyes staring at the ceiling of my minature room. Outside I could already hear the sound of traffic. Closing my eyes I sit up and search for my flippers. A few seconds pass but I still couldn''t find them. "Damn dog, I swear I''m going to fry you someday." Pushing my self up from my bed, I locate some dir*cough* clean clothes on the floor. Checking my blonde hair in the mirror and noticing it looks like a freaking birds nest I sigh already given up trying to fix it and move on. My name is Elijah Snow, I''m 18 years old and on an exchange programme in Japan. My ''real'' father and mother lives in England but I''m currently living with my host family which bestows of my host mother Megumi, my host little brother Ichigo and the spawn of hell Inu-dono which they for some unknown reason call him. Anyways I thought my year in Japan would be awesome but somehow it isn''t, guess I somehow mixed anime and reality together. So here I am being tortured by a dog the size of me (and I''m 184 cm tall) and zero friends whatsoever. There are two reasons why I stay in this hell hole. The first and least important one, as a practitioner of martial arts I was forc*cough cough* thought it would be meaningful to respect this country of martial arts. And the second but more important reason, Megumi is smoking hot. No but really, I could stay here just to look at those hips, that glorious ass and flower like lips. Walking through the hallways towards the kitchen I suddenly felt something... The feeling of death breathing it''s cold breath down on my neck. I shudder and notice cold sweat running down my spine. Turning around I saw it, drool hanging on its jaw slowly dripping down and big eyes screaming with the thought ''wanna play a little game?''. Yes you''ve probably guessed it, it''s him our beloved Inu-dono. God dammit how could a freaking dog emit such a presence?! Staring into the eyes of the beast I feel kind of embarrassed... sure he is big but all he does is play... even though ''playing'' with him usually ends up in me getting squashed like a fly. Even with my 12 years of Aikido I can''t do a shit against him... freaking monster... "Want some food Beastie?" I wasn''t expecting an answer but I swear he nodded his gigantic head. Entering the kitchen I see my reason of staying in Japa*cough* I mean Megumi cooking some breakfast. Walking towards the shelf holding the dog food I act cool looking straight forward. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "Good morning Megumi chan." Seeing her back twitch I unconsciously smile. "Snow san for crying out load, I''m a mother of a ten year old! DON''T CALL ME CHAN!!!" Aaah as usual her voice is that of an angel. I started feeding Beastie while smiling innocently. "Ah but Megumi chan, you couldn''t be older than 23 how could I disrespect such beauty calling you anything else?" Seeing her let out a sigh and continue cooking I couldn''t help but frown. This dense woman... still not even a blush? Sigh. Seeing Beastie eat like his life depends on it I shake my head. ''She treats this uncivilised excuse for a dog like a prince... w...what??? I-I couldn''t p-possibly be jealous of h-him?!'' ********* - Ichigo''s POV - Light touching my closed eyelids, I wake up. "Hihihihi finally I''m awake." Putting on my slippers I run out of my room. ''Ever since oni chan moved in Inu dono hasn''t been waiting for me outside my door anymore. Oh well can''t blame him, he has finally found someone willing (capable) to play with him.'' Entering the kitchen I see oni chan having a stare competition with Inu dono, he really is amazing how could he compare with Inu dono. "Hihihihi goood mooorning oni chaaaan!" I see him turning his head smiling as brilliant as a star. "Oh good morning Strawberry, isn''t it a bit chilly?" ''He''s still calling me Strawberry to bad I''m not good in english and neither mother or oni chan will tell me what it means... oh well it sounds cool then it must be something cool... like oni chan. And what was that? Chilly? Why?'' Looking down I see the reason why, I''m only wearing my Power Rangers underwear... so uncool Ichigo... how could you show oni chan something so uncool. I immediately run back to put on my school uniform. Repeatedly blaming my self... now he''ll think I''m a brat... Entering the kitchen I see oni chan talking with mother... it would be awesome if oni chan became my new father just thinking about it makes me shake in excitement. Noticing they are preparing to eat I sit down by the table waiting for the food to arrive Falling Snow: I''m sorry about all the PoV changing in the prologue they will decrease later on. Part 2 will be released in a few hours. Prologue Part 2. - Elijah Snow''s POV - ''Teasing the little bugger really is fun'' I think while looking at the red cheeks of the ten year old kid running towards his room to change. "You really shouldn''t tease him so much he haven''t opened his heart towards anyone but you since his father left." I turn my head looking at the smiling yet somehow lonely face in front of me sighing I answer. "I''m not worth such praise Megumi chan. I haven''t really done anything yet he still treats me like some kind of god." ''Yeeessss Megumi, see how I''m not even bragging. I knew getting through the anti social kid would raise your opinion of me. Your not going to be lonely much longer heheh can''t wait to do this.. and that with you hohoho'' "Mhm let''s say so, could you stop playing with Inu dono and set the dishes on the table?" ''What?! I-I thought I had you, god dammit and how am I playing with Beastie he''s just standing there looking at me.'' "Yes of course, anything for you." ********** - Smoking Hot Mo*cough* Megumi''s POV - Waking up like any other day I take a shower and put on some wearable clothes. No work day always means good day so I took a slightly longer shower today. Seeing my body walking pass the mirror I''m quite pleased ever since Evan I mean that dutchbag left I''ve become such a hottie hihih. Lost atleast 30 pounds and my hairs gained some shine aswell it isn''t the same as that pale black colour I had a year ago, quite the success. Walking pass Elijah''s room I see Inu dono sitting and waiting, my little prince doesn''t even look at me anymore. Hmpf, I shall be extra cold towards that brat today, stealing my prince like that who does he think he is?! Entering the kitchen I start cooking some breakfast, I know that brat hates fish so I''ll make fish today. "Good morning Megumi chan." This brat!!! Fuck that''s it I''ll make fish to dinner aswell. "Snow san for crying out load, I''m a mother of a ten year old! DON''T CALL ME CHAN!!!" Seeing that disgusting smile on his face I can almost guess his next words. "Ah but Megumi chan, you couldn''t be older than 23 how could I disrespect such beauty calling you anything else?" Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Sigh, nothing can be done about it and do I really look that good heheh... maybe I''ll let him call me chan a little while... just a little is okay, right? "Hihihihi goood mooorning oni chaaaan!" Great... even my son prioritise him over me.. though it''s really great seeing him smile again... "Oh good morning Strawberry, isn''t it a bit chilly?" Strawberry huh... can''t believe my son asked me with stars in his eyes what it means... I didn''t have the heart to say it''s food. Seeing Ichigo run away blushing like a school girl I can''t help but smile. "You really shouldn''t tease him so much he haven''t opened his heart towards anyone but you since his father left." Even I feel Ichigo being absent sometimes, I kind of envy their relationship... "I''m not worth such praise Megumi chan. I haven''t really done anything yet he still treats me like some kind of god." Pfff, even though he haven''t said it I know he visited my sons class when he figured out Ichigo was bullied due to his lack of socialising. I heard from other moms in Ichigo''s class that he even made the bullies look up to him. Damn popularity of foreigners... feel like a failure as a mother.. wish I could have helped my son aswell. "Mhm let''s say so, could you stop playing with Inu dono and set the dishes on the table?" Cold bitch mode = activated hihihi. "Yes of course, anything for you." ********** Elijah Snow''s POV Staring at the food on the table I can''t help but feel a single tear run down my cheek... even though my angel made this food, fish just don''t suit me... Looking at Megumi I can see she''s smiling but I almost missed the cold meaning carried within it when appraising those lips... this is revenge for the chan earlier right? I managed to live through the fish by smuggling some fish to Beastie besides me. Ignoring the neverending questions from Strawberry, I walk back to my room when suddenly I hear a *Ding* from... inside me? Falling Snow: Prologue finished next chapter name: Start Game. Will come out tomorrow (probably). Chapter 1 - Start Game Elijah Snow''s PoV *Ding* Following the high pitched tone a blue screen popped up in front of me.
Congratulations citizen of Earth! Your planet has been one of the 1000 lucky planets chosen to participate in the Ascension Games. Teleporting of all life forms will commence in 3 minutes. We strongly recommend the following: Weapon Sturdy Clothes Tools (Especially which can start fire) Electronics will NOT work. Good luck surviving!
''... well that''s good? Haven''t really won anything before but WHAT?!'' Looking at the 3 minutes part of the screen which was slowly ticking down made my sanity shudder. Only when I noticed that Strawberry had stopped talking gibberi*cough* I mean asking questions did I turn around. What met me was Strawberry''s face pale as papper looking into what seemed like the air in front of him. I didn''t even have to guess what he was looking at. Only when I turned back to the timer which was now at 1 minute and 12... 11.. 10 seconds did my brain snap back. I tried thinking logical thoughts like ''could it be a hologram?'' But with no sensors and the fact that I couldn''t see Strawberry''s screen quickly diminished that thought. Hurrying back to the kitchen I see Megumi with the same pale face as her son. With the timer ticking down I didn''t care how stupid I looked but I quickly located a nice sharp knife and a box of matches in one of the drawers. Megumi seeing what I was doing did the same, yeah maybe it''s some kind of television joke and we are under camera but with timer ticking it was better to be on the safe side. Throwing all my stuff + some blankets in my backpack I once again checked the timer, 13... 12... 11... Seeing the timer near the end I felt.. fear? Embarrassment? Or maybe excitement and then it happened my vision rapidly blurred until nothing but darkness. I don''t know if it was a few seconds or hours later but a small light soon appeared in the middle of my vision. It grew until finally it became a scenery. Tree''s a lot of tree''s through the tops I could see an enormous mountain far away It could be compared to Mt Fuji but being so far away I couldn''t tell. Further forward between the trees I could see people.. a lot of people. Turning around to locate my host family a blue screen once again popped up. *Ding*
Welcome dear competitor to the Ascension Games. The Initial stage will start as soon as this notice have been acquired. We can update you that amongst the 17 billion people from earth 5 & a half billion has been terminated due to... unfortunate spawning positions. You''ve been spawned in the western part of . Your chance of surviving the initial stage has been determined to be 57 %. Notice: This is not your world and as such no laws of nature (or any other law) from your previous world have been confirmed yet.
I couldn''t read more than half-way through the screen until I heard an ear piercing scream. Turning around I saw the impossible, estimated around 20 m tall stood a naked huma... no, creature resembling a human, completely naked, it had no gender but the frightening part wasn''t it''s body no what was frightening was what was in its hand heading towards its mouth. "Megumi chan?" Not a second after whispering out her name I stared in disbelief as it squeezed her, my angel, into its mouth like a baby squeezing in food and chewed. Blood splattered on trees nearby and pure exctasy in its eyes as it turned its gaze on the fleeing masses of people. I was about 50 m away when it suddenly jumped, doing the cannonball it squashed tens of people and the nearby trees falling squashed another 20. It.. laughed while crawling licking on the dead piles of meat which ones were human. I puked. I continued to puke until there was nothing left but I could still feel my body forcing out what little was left. It was only when I heard a peculiar scream which instantly shook my heart back to reality again. "Ichigo." Unlike the pale face and almost dead eyes before a determined and focused expression was formed. Quickly locating Strawberry I saw him heading towards the remains of Megumi, infront of him an enormous dog pushed away the people still fleeing. I quickly regained my bearing forcing my mind through sheer willpower to not collapse. Only one thing was on my mind. Save him. I raised my speed towards Strawberry and Beastie jumping over people crying for help and bodies trampled intill death. Reaching Beastie I forced him into a halt, noticing right away him shaking violently. I looked into his eyes. "Beastie calm down." There was only three words but the shaking immediately lessened. Turning my gaze unto Strawberry my mind once again threatened to collapse. The eyes of the once energetic small boy which hammered me with questions and adoration was bloodshot from intense focus and crying, all of him was shaking from grief and anger. His eyes were focused on the giant, still disgustingly licking corpses. I knew right there that there was no chance of him listening to reason, I may be strong in human terms but I could tell with a glance I was not even at the danger level of a fly to that... monster. So I did what was left to do. I knocked him unconscious and placed him on Beastie. Exchanging glances with Beastie once more I pointed towards the mountain I saw earlier and he immediately understood. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Turning around to start sprinting I felt sharp pain on my shoulder, turning around I saw.. a human male probably in his 20ths looking not at me but at Beastie with greed and helplessness in his eyes. I already knew he hadn''t caused a lethal injury so I quickly reversed the grip on his knife putting pressure on the bottom of the hilt forcing it into his left lunge. Backing off a few steps I felt danger coming from my left so I quickly rolled towards my right. Far too many people to handle approached me and Beastie with knife in hand our escape route hade been blocked and greedy humans rushed towards Beastie. I quickly interrupted the first few humans coming from our right, pushing them back onto the next person behind them taking out my own knife I finished them off once they were grounded, no time to be merciful. This took less than 10 seconds killing and incapacitated around 12 men and females. But it was more than enough time for the other humans reaching Beastie. Turning around I saw 4-5 people on the ground screaming their lunges out while next to them Beastie stood with 4 knives embedded into him, but even though he stood, he had no energy to stop the remaining 2 from slitting his throat. It felt like knives pierced my heart watching the scene. All this happened while I was less than 10 m away. Had I not been injured previously maybe, just maybe I would have made it. The men which killed Beastie instantly ran away when their plans to use him as a mount had dissolved. The disgusting giant had noticed the people screaming around Beastie and was already on its feet. I raised my speed to the maximum trying to close the distance and save Strawberry. The giant was 25-30 m away while I was around 10. Naturally I made it there earlier. But the scene made my heart grow cold. A knife was embedded into Strawberry''s back... Why? WHY?! I felt tears starting to emerge but before they surfaced I had already put my emotions under control it was naturally one of the things I''ve learned while training martial arts all these years. A quick glance towards the corner of my eyes I saw the giant less than 10 m away, its lips had formed into a perverted smile running towards the men screaming besides me. Without time to grab my little brothers corpse I jumped out of the way into the forest. Screams slowly stopped behind me as the giant played with its newfound toys. *Ding*

Falling Snow: yepp it''s rated 18 for a reason. And before anyone comments, Yes I took the titan from attack on titan. I just thought they were the most disgusting creatures I''ve ever seen. Chapter 2 - Isnt it kind of cold? Elijah Snow''s PoV Not even glancing at the blue screens popping up in existence, I just continued to run. I ran until I was completely alone. While running I had sometimes heard the screams of men, women and children but I never stopped. Only when the day started darkening did I stop to rest, only now did I notice the pain in my shoulder and my stomach screaming for attention. I took of my backpack and pulled a part one of the blankets binding a strip around my shoulder stopping the bleeding and as a somewhat protection against infections. With one of my problems taken care of I started inspecting my surroundings the trees had lessened in numbers and small hills were gathered around me. I could also hear the miniature sound of water flowing. I once again equipped my bag and started walking towards the sound of water. Maybe 10 - 20 minutes of walking I encountered a river about 10 m wide with crystal clear water. I could see the fishes playing in the water, as on que my stomach once again ached for food. Remembering the last food I ate was the breakfast Megumi chan cooked my eyes instantly turned cold not allowing the grief taking control of me. Searching the edge of the forest I found a decent stick which I sharpened with my knife. Once again heading back to the river to catch some dinner I heard something on the other side of the bushes. Stopping in my tracks I sneaked my way towards the river, hidden in the bushes I saw them. Three men around 30-40 years old with blood covering their clothes sat by the river surrounding a newly lit fire. By the way they moved and laughed I could tell the blood didn''t belong to them. In the lap of the closest man was a girl seemingly around my age. Her feet were bound by ropes and her hands were bound behind her back. Heightening my concentration I start listening in on their conversation. "Haahahah but Boss, I can''t believe we were teleported to this forest right after being put in prison!! I swear god himself is on our side." Said the greasy skinny man sitting to the left. While looking at the bulky man sitting towards the right staring into the fire, he sneered. "Shut up you fool, couldn''t you see those... those things?? Their claws was freaking bigger than my arm! Thank god we met you mister." ''Boss'' said with admiration and a hint of jealousy in his eyes staring at the man with the girl in his lap, gently caressing the girls breasts. "Hahahahh no worries, you guys would have done the same if you also had a knife with you. Too bad we had to leave so many hot girls behind though, atleast I got this one. Heh boys I''m gonna... take her for a test spin." They all laughed a bit and ''mister'' rose to his feet. But suddenly their previous happy go lucky faces turned ugly. "Boss d-do you feel that? Why d-did it get cold all o-of a sudden?" Yet when the greasy man turned to look at ''Boss'' he could see even ''Boss'' had a dumbfounded expression while staring at the river. ********* Boss POV "Boss d-do you feel that? Why d-did it get cold all o-of a sudden?" I heard Danny asking me a question but I was to shocked to answer. How could it possibly get so cold so quickly?! Standing up I hear cracking underneath my feet... frost? ''Fuck is this some kind of game?! NO! The magical box said it would start in month!'' While cursing this god damn world I suddenly felt a cold wind hit my neck, turning around I saw something... impossible. "The river''s f-freezing?" The previously crystal clear river is slowly but surely becoming crystal clear ice. My breath has already turned visible and then I felt it. Thousand insects crawling down my spine, a feeling I haven''t had since my father rap... no, this ain''t no memory lane. Turning around expecting the worse I see.. something coming from the now pitch black forest and the previous chill paralyses me. Ascending from the dark is a boy, tall, blonde hair and dressed in red... no h-he''s covered completely in blood. His seemingly harmless blue eyes sweeping pass me made my body shudder. Move! Move! MOVE FOR FUCK SAKE! I inwardly scream at my body to move but as if I''m bound by chains I can''t even move my lips. "W-who are you boy?" I hear a voice besides me, Yes! Mister! If anyone can get us out from here it''s Mister! "Shut up." A calm yet ice cold voice was heard coming from boy in front of us. I felt anger boiling inside me. This brat! Wait until Mister fights you I''m going to personally chop off your fingers. Hmpf. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. ... ....... Why doesn''t Mister do anything?! Forcing my head through sheer willpower to turn I see Mister, eyes full of defiance but... something is wrong? Why doesn''t he even blink, he looks like a statue of some sort. ... "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHGGGGG!!!!!!" I FEEL MY TOES TURNING INTO ICE FUCK!!! Turning my head around once more and I see the brat staring at my toes his blue eyes emitting a faint strain of azure blue light. And a smile indicating the end crept onto his face. He lifted his gaze and I felt frost on my skin when he looked at me. Walking towards me he equipped a knife and even before I could see him raise the knife everything went black... ******** Elijah Snow''s POV "W-who are you boy?" Before even thinking about it I had left my bushes, disgusting humans raping women.. it was people like them which killed Stra.... Ichigo. Fuck I feel such rage it''s like something inside of my itches to chop them up and.. eat them? Naa I''m not a cannibal.. weird. ''Oh I''ve just stood here for a while but they still haven''t attacked me?'' Focusing my gaze on ''Mister'' which long ago dropped the girl he was carrying, I was shocked to discover frost growing where I looked. And as on que a *Ding* echoed through my consciousness.

Your killing intent seeps out into a limited area causing the overall temperature to lower. By focusing your killing intent on an inorganic or organic material within this area causes it to freeze. Created by Elijah Snow.
Reading these screens I unconsciously smile self pitying. ''Well that''s hysterical, my frozen heart causes other to freeze...'' Testing out my ability I focus on one of the scumbags toes and hear a refreshing scream of agony... refreshing? Anyways getting tired of the situation I start walking towards the cry baby and then it happened. He died. Just like that. Well quickly finishing off the other two I notice they''ve already frozen solid. Standing there looking at the river I feel the temperature once again increase to normal. Looking at the starry night sky I feel.. empty. Cutting out an ice cube of fish I start grilling it on the fire. After eating I felt the fatigue hit me. ''What a terrible day..'' Leaning back into the now dried up grass I close my eyes. Feeling an ice cold tear running down my cheek I fall asleep... Falling Snow: only when you''ve faced true despair will you know true happiness. And even if the most delicate of things break you can find away to get whole again. Chapter 3 - A Devils Beauty. Vera Cruze PoV My name is Vera and if I should describe myself I would say I''m a normal 17 year old girl from Sweden. I prefer hanging out with my friends while discussing which boy in our school is the hottest. But when I was sleeping comfortable in my king sized bed I was awakened by a annoying Mario *Ding* sound, my little brother Eric usually play those kind of things so of course I recognised the sound. "Eric I''ve told you before, GET YOUR BLOODY ASS OUTSIDE MY ROOM!" Waiting for the typical narcissistic answer I was kind of shocked to not receive any. Turning face sideways my light brown hair block my view and I feel the taste of hair in mouth... like every morning. Clearing my view I see something quite weird.. I''m usually not easily surprised but this one actually got to me. ''A hologram? Thought they haven''t been released in the western yet.''
Congratulations citizen of Earth! Your planet has been one of the 1000 lucky planets chosen to participate in the Ascension Games.

''Huh? Another game? And where''s the sensors? Thought sensorless hologram was due to be released in another five years..'' Before I could figure out where the sensors were located a man in his pyjamas burst down my door. "Vera! Get dressed somethings happening!" Yeah, my calm quick-witted dad will know what''s happening. "Dad! Look you see this hologram? It doesn''t have any sensors, did you or Eric set it up?" "No Vera I can''t see your hologram but in the center of my view I got one of my own. Same thing with your mom... This isn''t something... which should exist. The hologram is visible even with closed eyes if you fo.. NO VERA STOP ASKING QUESTIONS GET DRESSED!" Being a dadys girl I put on my skin tight jeans below my bed and a white t-shirt hanging on a hook beside my desk. Opening my door I once again check the hologram. 59...58..56. I don''t see why dad would be so hysterical over something like this? It''s obviously some kind of prank... sigh. *Bzzzzzz* *Bzzzzzz* *Bzzzzz* Noticing my cell phone decorated with a small cute plushie ringing I''m once again reminded of my boyfriend and a sweet smile unconsciously forms on my face. "Heellloo cutie pie here, why is my Honey boo calling at this time at night?" But instead of Oscars usually happy go lucky voice a serious and darker voice answers. "Hi Vera, good you''re up, say, can you see a blue hologram in front of you?" "Hey Oscar? Why the serious tone? And yeah I do how did you know?" "Shit! Okay Vera listen closely. I don''t think this is a joke, several of my friends also see them we''re at a night club right now and it looka like everyone''s staring into the air. Listen babe, do as the hologram says and find a knife. Love you." *biiiiip* *biiiiip* *biiip* While hearing the call ending I get a weird thought. ''Could this thing actually tell the truth?'' Once again looking att the hologram I see the timer ticking down 15...14...13... Shaking my head to get myself together I immediately run towards the kitchen digging out the first knife I see. When suddenly I hear a car crashing outside and all of a sudden I feel my vision grow hazy until everything''s completely black. Moments after eveything grew black my vision gradually grew back. And suddenly I''m standing on a clearing with hundreds of peop.. no scratch that.. people as far as my eyes could see. "Vera come here!" Amids all confusion I here my dads voice from behind me. Turning around I see my family gathered as well as even more people many of which is holding a knife while some is in underwear. Further away I see massive trees surrounding the plain we''re all gathered when suddenly a *Ding* is heard and everyone quiets.

While everyone reads this new notice a low growl could be heard from the forest. Right after the initial growl several more echoed through the field. And then they came. Black wolf like creatures over 5 m tall with dark mist dripping slowly from their pitch black fur. On top of the creature you could fainly see a figure, approximately human size maybe a little larger dressed in drags. "I-is t-that o-o-orcs?" I hear a man whispering to him self beside me. Turning my gaze ones more to the black wolfs I see their gigantic mouths dripping with saliva and a cold chill passes through my body. A few seconds pass in complete silence when suddenly. "¡ö?¡õ~{[¡ð??¡ð?¡è¡ã¡ñ}¡ñ|!!!!!" An incomprehensible scream comes from the now over 20 black wolf riders. And then it started. They charged. Screams quickly replace the silence and people start running the opposite direction. Me included. Turning around while sprinting fear strikes my heart. Of the maybe 100 people separating me and the wolfs only less than 20 remain. Noticing my fathers gaze I turn to look at him fear in my eyes... What met me was eyes full of resolution... almost guessing what my dads thinking I immediately whisper. "No..." Then he stops and a strong unyielding scream bursts forward. "ERIC! TAKE CARE OF OUR LADIES, SELENE, VERA I LOVE YOU." Then he turned around heading towards the grotesque wolfs with a baseball bat in hand. People hearing and seeing my father also understands what has to be done to get the rest of their families to safety and about 80 + people head back charging towards the 20 + wolfs. What met them was catastrophe. The bats and crowbars which met the legs of the gigantic wolfs.. melted on touch. And despair replaced the previous resolute looks in their eyes. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Eric starts pushing me and mom towards the direction people are fleeing. Tears falling uncontrollably down his cheeks. "R-run please.. r-run.." Taking a last look towards our dad fighting to keep the monsters from getting to us, we once again pick up our pace. Continuing to run my mom, Eric, me and maybe a hundred plus people encounters a river. Without thinking we jump in half of us gets swept away by the force of flowing water while the rest makes it to the other side. "Huff huff.. Vera, Eric are you alright?" Hearing my mom in front of me I immediately answer. "Yes mom we are fine right Eric?" Turning around all that I can see is flowing water.. "Eric?" Mom hearing me immediately turns around panic replacing the previous grief on her face. "Eric? ERIC??? ERIC?!" Tears start surfacing when I discover what happened.. "I s-should''ve hold on to *sniff* him bet.." Before finishing a slap meets my face. "M-mom?" I say crying from the pain in my heart. "YOU''RE A DISGRACE OF A SISTER HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE LOOKED AFTER YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER?!" She says with pure hatred on her face. "I-i..." *slap*... "Disgusting." While looking down at the grass beneath me grief, panic and sorrow well up inside me and my vision blurs from all the tears falling. "Well well what do we have here?" Hearing a male voice from the direction of my mother I''m to sad to comprehend what was being said. "Oy, oy Boss did you see that bitch just slapped her daughter hahahaha!" "Hahahah yeah ey mrs child abuser can''t you give her to us instead? We''ll make sure she gets... punished." ''Boss'' say with a creepy smile. Without the chance to answer screams once again fill the air. Turning around forcing my crying to stop I see them an uncountable amount of the black wolf riders suddenly comes from the forest edge on this side of the river, all of which are without a wolf. "Shit I knew it, it''s fucking orcs." One of the men besides me say. Seeing the seemingly 2 m tall pig like humans with leather clothing slashing and killing all men while incapacitating and capturing the women a shudder run down my spine. People once again start running but somehow I know we''re not going to make it. After running for about a minute 40 + had fallen to the orcs, my position is luckily or unluckily in on of the front rows. Suddenly a man in front of us starts hacking and incapacitating the women besides him. While still running, looking back I see the orcs stopping to capture and... tear of their clothes. Noticing the erektion in the lower part of the pig like creatures I immediately turn back forward not daring to look at my upcoming fate. The man seemingly crazy starts attacking everyone and everything, the men besides us starts helping by tripping women and children. When the man saw me a lustfull face replaced his previous crazy expression. Turning his gaze towards my mom he once again slash. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!" My moms blood curling scream echoes into the darkest corner of my sanity, stopping to help my mom a hand suddenly envelopes my waist. "Oh no honey, you''re coming with me." Being lifted away I see the orcs tearing of my moms clothes and without warning starts penetrating her. My moms screams is the last thing I hear before my brain forces me unconscious. ------------ Waking up I''m greeted by several notices.

Reading through the notices I laugh? While tears flow down my cheeks. ''Isn''t this too cruel?'' Trying to sit up I suddenly notice my legs and hands are tied. Observing my surroundings I see the men from earlier lying dead beside me. It''s already dark but I still feel the heat from the burned-out fireplace in front of me. After further inspection I can see a boy my age on the other side, it''s dark so I can''t see his feature more than his blonde hair and red clothes. But seeing him being curled up and the sound of crying makes me think he''s not dangerous. After trying to free myself from the ropes for about 30 minutes I feel fatigue pass me like a wave. Not physical fatigue but mental. I once again lay down, before falling a sleep one thought only cross my mind. ''What now?'' Falling Snow: yepp, I decided to make a chapter introducing Vera, I originally planned making it half Vera half Snow but after writing for a while I decided to make it all Vera. Tell me what you think. Otherwise I just might kill her off next chapter... good night everybody! Chapter 4 - The Fish Hunt. Elias Snow''s PoV Waking up I immediately notice dried up tears & snott on my face. Remembering yesterdays events my mind slowly recalls them, the look of despair on Megumi''s face before being eaten alive by that... thing. Remembering me knocking out Strawberry before attempting to escape makes a bitter smile creep up my face. ''If only I hadn''t knocked him out...'' Remembering the backs of the two men running away from Beasties and Strawberry corpses once again makes my heart grow cold... Sighing noticing my mood gradually worsening I decide to ignore it. ''You live in the present not the past, and my parents are still alive.'' .... ''Shit. Mother, Father did they make it?!'' Remembering my father''s figure I dismissed that thought as quickly as it came. ''It takes a monster to kill a monster.'' While thinking this a rare smile unconsciously forms on my face... Killing those things doesn''t sound like a bad plan. According to these notices some kind of voodoo exist in this.. world? Hah I still can''t believe I''m not on earth anymore... how did this even happen? Sigh... I start observing my surrounding, not really remembering anything from yesterday night. Maybe 2 m behind me I see the previously frozen river flowing with renewed energy. Surrounding the burnout fireplace is a bunch of rocks while a bit further away the forest growing semicircular from our position once again devour all space, a few strand of light penetrating through the treetops in the otherwise dark forest. Yesterdays screams and panic seemingly like a dream while gazing at the scenery... if it wouldn''t for the girl sleeping on the opposite side of the fireplace. Seemingly 17-19 years old quite tall, light brown hair which even in all the mud looks kind of beautiful. A pair of perfectly shaped legs with not to much flesh but enough to have those sexy womanly curves... Not to large breasts but it couldn''t really be estimated which size they were while laying down. But as a man I think they are B maybe C sized maybe. In other words, obviously a hottie, would probably make my legendary moves on her if it wasn''t for the bad mood I was feeling + her face being completely covered by snott and mud... OH and she''s still bound by ropes.. I totally forg*cough cough* prioritised my health (sleep) yesterday. After releasing her from the ropes I head towards the river to wash my face when a *Ding* obviously smashes my improving mood.
Congratulations Competitor! For surviving the first 24 hours of the Ascension Games the rules have bestowed you the right to see yours and other individuals . To see your just think ''Rank show''.

After reading the notice I immediately say ''Rank show'' inside my mind and yet another notice appears in front of me.
Ranking
Elijah Snow ------------------- - Rank 4 (Human level)
Reading through my I discovered I''m , not when I already have a ability. Hmm must be some kind of overall judgement of your strength and not just strength as in muscle power but including abilities and mastery of abilities... hmm maybe there''s something I''m missing but it at least feel somewhat accurate. Remembering the part that I could see other individuals I once again turn my gaze on the piece of eye cand*cough* oh sorry something got stuck in my throat, I mean the girl still sleeping next to the fireplace. And as guessed over her body hovering in the air were the words
??? --------- Rank 1 (Human)
Hmm so if I don''t know the name of the individual I''m looking at, the name won''t show? Well that''s the first thing close to ordinary in this freaking world... or maybe not... there''s still letters hovering above someone... maybe I''m just crazy?... sigh... if only. Sitting down once more I start debating with myself on what to do next. ''Hmm finding my parents will be like finding a needle in a haystack, and I''m sure dad''ll take care of mother until we meet again, for now shelter should be priorised. Being so close the forest and other people doesn''t sit well with me. But on the other hand, giving up an unlimited amount of drinkable water might also be a bad idea...'' While facing this inner turmoil I suddenly hear a sound of something moving. Turning my head, my hand already on my knife''s hilt I see the girl has woken up. ********* The Piece of Ey*cough* Vera Cruze PoV Waking up to the light pressing down on my eye lids I see a back and golden blonde hair in front of me. Seemingly gazing at the flowing crystal clear river and for a moment all memories of yesterday was forgotten. But life isn''t that gentle... Seeing the red colored dots and stripes on his clothes the memories come flooding back.. ''So it wasn''t a nightmare after all...'' Once again I feel tears running down my cheeks... after a while of silently crying I stop.. ''This is no time to cry.. how do I know if I even am safe yet?!'' While thinking this I move my leg and surprisingly I''m not bound anymore. And suddenly I feel like the temperature drop into the negatives. Shivering consumes every square inch of my body as I look up seeing the eyes of the young man in front of me. But surprisingly I don''t feel fear when looking into his deep blue eyes, maybe a part of me has just given up on living.. but instead of fear I feel compassion? It''s almost like looking into the mirror.. somehow I see myself in his eyes.. grief, sorrow, fear and surprisingly resolution? After being mesmerised a few seconds I didn''t even feel the shivering stopping or the temperature rising once again. And suddenly I can''t hold in the tears as they flood down my face, I feel the taste of snott running down from my nose but some how I don''t care. Jumping into this strangers chest my sobbing gradually turns into whispers.. "D-dad... m-mom..*sob*.. Eric..." ********** Elijah Snow''s PoV It''s been almost an hour since the once presumed hottie attacked my chest and started painting it with snott and tears. My first thought was if I should just slap her to get a hold of herself but without me knowing I found some kind of safety in her presence and salty water started running down my cheeks as well... without the disgusting snott though. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. After the sobbing stopped I got to hear her story and found her situation even worse than mine. The story took a bit longer than what I would''ve liked because she had to stop to sob several times. Once the sun was at it''s peak we both started feeling hungry, her blush when hearing her tummy growl like a beast was some what refreshing. I stood back up heading towards the river but before heading towards the river a pull stopped me from behind. "Th-thank y-you.." I don''t really know for what she was thanking me for but I still replied. "No problem." Giving the girl my sharpened stick from yesterday, we started hunting fish. Seeing her fall down repeatedly made a faint laughter escape my lips. Surprisingly Vera, which she told me her name was, turned around and stared daggers at me. The vurnable girl from earlier seemingly like a mirage she sneered at me and said. "I don''t see you doing any better and I''m freaking hungry so get on with it." Taken back by the change of personality I quickly connected it to her period... God I hope so atleast. Turning around I quickly located a fish enough to satisfy my hunger and I decided to test out my newly created ability... Not really knowing how to activate it I decided to glare at it.. after 30 seconds it quickly got embarrassing, especially hearing the little devil snickering behind me. Feeling embarrassment ans rage boiling up inside me I shot I glance one more towards the fish... and volah! A deep frozen fish float up towards the surface. Feeling pride welling up inside me I grabbed it. "Well hurry up you little devil, I got my meal already." I said while waving the fish at her. Her face full of shock and disbelief quickly turns into a look of resolution as she continues her hunt. -------- After eating we discuss where to go next. Even though she doesn''t contribute to my survival I had somewhat grown attached to her. She was surprisingly a lot like Megumi and Strawberry, that fierce attitude from the hunt being a reminder of Megumi and her constantly looking at me when she doesn''t think I notice being a reminder of Strawberry. After debating for a while we both come to the conclusion to follow the river. That way we''ll have a constant source of food and water. Even though it may increase our chance of encountering danger I''m somewhat confident I can win... and my plan on killing as many as these monsters still haven''t faded in my mind. Traveling beside the river quickly got boring. After maybe 2 hours of walking we still hadn''t encountered anything. Still, we kept our guard up at all times. After noticing the clear blue sky darkening and Vera''s constant nagging to take a break, I decide to make camp for the night. Suggesting the idea of her starting to prepare a fire while I check the perimeter didn''t sit well with me but after promising to not go far and keep an eye on her she reluctantly agreed. After leaving her to set up camp I start heading towards the forest, our new camp by the way is sheltered by a bunch of large rocks so I wasn''t that afraid the fire would attract any anim... monsters. After walking semicircular our camp I suddenly hear a howl not to far from my position. Quickly heading towards the direction of the howl I can''t wait to slaugh*cough cough* I mean someone might be in danger... right? After runing for a minute or two I see them almost camouflaged in the dark forest. Two gigantic black wolfs pushing and kicking a small white wolf cub. Above their heads I see a faint bunch of letters.
Big Black Wolf --------- Rank 3 (Magical Beast)
... For real? That''s their name? How original... Seeing the faint letters above the wolf cub I inspect it aswell.
??? --------- Rank 0 (Mystical Beast)
Well I''m just glad its name''s not ''White Wolf''... but why is it a mystical beast and not a magical beast?... what''s even the difference? Looking closer I can see the wolf cub has red blood covering its fur and it seems at it doesn''t even have the energy to retaliate anymore. Focusing on the two black wolfs seemingly 5 m tall I start smiling. Not even a second after my smile I can see frost gradually start covering the closest wolfs fur. And they both turn their viscous heads towards my direction. Staring into the frost covered wolfs eyes It lets out a painful roar. Noticing it shaking its head violently my smile widens. Focusing my gaze at the other wolfs eyes it also starts to roar slaming its head at nearby trees. Standing up ans equipping my knife I start running towards the disorganised wolfs. Seemingly knowing of my charge the closest one rushes at me. My sharpened reflexes save me as I jump to the side inserting my knife into its side. And surprisingly it stucks. Losing grip of my knife I look at it slowly corroding while inserted into the beast. With no weapon a new plan forms in my head. Remembering that it was these kinds of creatures which killed Vera''s father a new level of killing intent flash through my eyes as I stare at the wolfs head in front of me. It quickly stops resisting as it falls to the ground with a minor earthquake. Looking at the next wolf standing behind the corpse of its comrade it also quickly falls and once again the earth shakes. And then the dark forest once again consumes the area in its eerie silence. Calming down I kind of have a general understanding of my ability. Now I just need to learn how to control my ''killing intent''. Walking towards the corpse of the closest wolf I knock on its head... and its like colored ice. Shivering thinking about my ability I feel relief in knowing it was I who created it... unknowingly or not. Grabbing one of its back legs I pull until it breaks. Tearing of the ridiculous flexible skin I then start heading back when a whimper stops me in the tracks. ''Ohh there was one more..'' Turning around I glare at the creature wanting it to be over quickly... but after just seeing squirm trying to stand up I just can''t feel it.. my killing intent has abandoned me. Seeing the little wolf cub barely tall enough to reach my knees I decided to continue leaving. Turning around a *duns* was heard from behind. Shooting a glance I see it collapsed on the ground it''s snow white/red fur almost seeming like a source of light in this dark world. Sighing I turn around and lift it up and once again head back towards the camp. Falling Snow: wuuut? A neeew companion?!?!!!? Wonder how long it takes for it to die.. hoohohoh. Chapter 5 - The All-Mighty Eli. Vera Cruze''s PoV "Can''t believe that freaking show off left me alone.. bitch." Consumed in self created anger I finally finished setting up camp. Sitting down on one of the blankets Elijah... I mean that bitch brought with him. I pull out my iphone, once again trying to open it... ''Damn! I clearly remember charging it yesterday!! Why doesn''t it start?!'' Feeling rage build up I slam it onto the ground. And a *crack* is heard loud and clear... *sigh*.. ''I don''t even know why I''m getting mad anymore...'' Feeling the night wind caressing my face a shiver runs down my spine. Looking into the seemingly alive, eerie forest I whisper. "Elijah.. come back.." ---------- A few minutes after I started waiting for Elijah a howl echoes throughout the area. Clearly remembering the howl from yesterday fear paralyses my body. My dads face when he said he loved us passes through my mind. "N-no.." Looking towards the direction of the howl resolution and unwillingness replaces my fear... atleast it dampens it... I stand up feeling my legs shaking uncontrollably I scream. "ELIJAAAAH!!!" Hearing nothing but the silence of night again makes fear of being left alone consume my decision making. Picking up my fish hunting stick I head into the forest. ********* Elijah Snow''s PoV Feeling the silky fur of the wolf cub I compare it with the steely black fur on the leg of one of the black wolves. ''It really is soft, how didn''t it die when the black wolves were harassing it?'' While inspecting the sleeping creature in my hands I once again detect movements heading straight towards me. Preparing myself I place my dinner and my... future dinner? To the left of me. Hearing whatever''s heading towards I shoot a glance towards it and a high pitched.. human? Scream threatens to squash my eardrums. Almost guessing who was running towards me I calmly step towards this "creature". And laying there with branches sticking through its hair, sobbing while embracing its hand is Vera.. sighing I step forward. "Come on let me see." I say while grabbing her hand and yes... frost is covering it. Inspecting it further while the pussy in front of me screams.. faul words at me.. but something is different, its almost as I can ''feel'' her hand without touching it. Its almost as if the frost is part of ''me'' it''s like the frost resonate with my soul? Mind? Well something. An idea pass through my mind and I envelope her hand in mine. Feeling the frost connected to me I focus on our connection... After maybe a minute I feel I''ve somewhat grasped the connection and I start willing the ice to return into me. Feeling the chilly yet pleasant energy filling me I feel like I''m brimming with energy. And like on que a *Ding* echoes in my mind.

Turning my attention back to reality I notice Vera has fallen asleep.. Around Vera I see... no not just around Vera in the air surrounding us I now see miniature sized glimmering dots of.. ice? No.. they are so small you wouldn''t even notice them if I didn''t focus on them. Wondering why there''s surrounding us I follow them. Turning my head I see they are being emitted from the direction of my dinner.. With closer inspecting I see a dense cover of surrounding my future din*cough* the white wolf cub. Even with my low understanding of these particles I know somehow how formidable this cover of is. ''Well now I know how it survived those black wolfs...'' Turning my head towards the now sleeping Vera I sigh.. ********* ???''s PoV Here I am the one and only, the majestic, the all mighty, the most beautiful (waiting for the drums to finish building up the excitement) Eli!!!!!! But somehow I and my minions (rest of his race) got involved in some kind of death game so here I am making the most perfect tactical retreat in the history of the Arctic Wolfs (... He''s just bull shiting you, he got abandoned by his parents cause he was a pain in the ass and now he''s running for his life). But anyyy way while utilising my ninja skills I sneaked around a horde of orcs and entered this massive forest. My first new objective was decided that I should conquer this massive forest to spread my fame throughout this new world I''ve been dragged into. But somehow some cowardly beasts found me while I was on my path to world domination... so here I am.. at the end of my stamina being chased by not one but two gigantic black wolves with an affinity towards darkness... ''If only there was one I would have triumphed... '' (No. No he definitely wouldn''t.) Being flipped over countless of times I feel my strength leaving me, if only dad was h... no he probably wouldn''t care either way.. Looking into the dark eyes of the wolves I feel a bit of envy.. even these beasts... -------- I''m still conscious huh? Looking up I see something impossible, the Magical beasts are being slaughtered by... something? My eyes are to hazy to see what it is but even the majestic me feel the familiar scent of Ice affinity... could it be? DID DAD OR MOM FOLLOW ME TO SAVE ME?! Remembering the disgust in their eyes when they looked at me I reluctantly dismiss that thought. After the beasts were dead I felt the scent of blood gushing, the blood of a magical beast.. even in my home world I was familiar with the scent so I quickly noticed it. Feeling the creature which saved me starting to walk away I struggel to stand up.. and when I finally stood up everything went black... --------- - Next day - Waking up to the smell of cooked magical beast meat I unconsciously start drolling. Being of the Arctic Wolf race greatly enchants my regeneration abilities so I wasn''t worried my injuries had worsened from yesterday, so I did what I usually do when I see such delicious meat, EAT IT! While savoring the taste of cooked meat I notice two glares directed towards me, a human and... something human yet... not? The girl to my left had a hint of both fear and curiosity in her gaze and with a gaze I could tell she didn''t pose danger towards the beautiful me even if she''s a rank higher than me there''s obviously differences between a mystical being such as my self and a mere human. But another curious fact about her is even I find her somewhat.. beautiful? Sigh... I really am a disgrace towards my ra... ''STOP!'' Like the majestic me would ever be a disgrace.. right? But even if the girl is somewhat interesting the man? Beside me is even more interesting, even the all mighty me can''t tell his race, even though he resembles a human it''s almost as if he''s a skinwalker, like there''s something else beneath that snow white skin of his. And another curious fact is that he is walking the path of Ice, there is a really small amount of humans which can walk a path, and even smaller which can walk one of the great four, Ice, Darkness, Light and Lightning. When I turned my gaze towards his eyes I''m even more shocked to see he got the eyes, even though they might be misty, there is surely no doubt he got the same eye as the chief, the . This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. And I''m not even surprised I can''t see his this being is obviously more than 3 Ranks over me. Hmpf I''ll get closer when I grow up anyways. Even if he''s not human I doubt he can match a mystical beast as my self. "Should we eat it?" As I am all mighty I obviously understand primitive language such as the ones human use.. WHAT?! WHY IS HE LOOKING AT ME WITH... i-is th-that d.. drool? Shivering I lower my head in defeat.. for now ''mohahahahhaha''. "No! She''s kind of cute!! A-and you said those black wolves attacked her so she must be nice, right?" Yes!!!! Thhank you!!! But how is this piece of sexy me a DUCKING GIRL ALL OF A SUDDEN?! I''m going to ducking penetrate you until you REALLY won''t be able to tell the difference between me and a girl... wait? That thought went wrong somewhere... well who cares. "Her? It''s obviously a he. But he ate our breakfast, do you want to starve? And it looks kind of yummy..." "NO! YOU OWE ME FROM YESTERDAY! I STILL CAN''T BELIEVE YOU FUCKING FREEZED ME!" Oooh drama? Where''s my beast meat snack? "Wow you really know how to hold a grudge.. yeah yeah I won''t eat him, but know he IS a monster, he even healed all his injuries over a night, what will happen when it''s adult? Will you be responsible for all humans it kills?" PFFFFFFF!!!!!!! WHO YOU CALLING MONSTER?! IF SOMEONE''S A MONSTER IT''S YOU! But still this doesn''t look good, if he really wants to eat me I probably won''t be able to resist at all... "B-but... It''s so cute!!!" Wow I''ve been degraded from a majestic all mighty mystical beast to a humans fluffy toy? Feeling this ridiculous weak human say something so disrespectful I growl at her, putting her on her place. *shiver* feeling an immense killing intent direct at me I even feel my races inborn ability start freezing into material ice... Turning around I see his previous misty ice coloured eyes shoot a small but visible beam of killing intent, visible killing intent is the last step until you''ve successfully materialised your killing intent. Feeling continuous shivering I gulp, even my parents haven''t acquired such a killing intent, what has this... thing experienced to be able to produce such a killing intent? Lowering my head I start whining, emitting my utter defeat in hope of forgiveness... "I-it''s alright El-elijah it''s starting to g-get c-cold.." Hearing the hottie''s statement I focus my intention at the corner of my eyes to see that the grass beside me has already frozen into solid ice cubes... ''M-materialised k-killing i-intent? No.. I don''t smell any blood... materialised killing intent would emit a faint smell of blood. Th-then what is this?! If the surroundings freeze when he hasn''t even reached materialised killing intent what will happen when he will..?!'' Shivers once again pass through my body, this being is NOT a human, I can''t disrespect such a being. Cutting my paw I slowly crawl towards this ''Elijah'' when reaching him I slowly stand up and the shivers increase, putting my paw on his chest I recite. "I Eli Variant of the Arctic Wolves, Son of Mael and Sei request of you Eli to accept me as a servant for long as I or You shall live." After reciting the cite of Mastership which every magical beast is born knowing fall asleep on the spot. ********** Elijah Snow''s PoV Seeing the white mutt growl and releasing killing intent towards Vera I ''unconsciously'' release some killing intent, after yesterday I understood the importance of control over your killing intent, so rest of the night I practised releasing killing intent unto everything from fishes to rocks and I gained somewhat control of my killing intent. The mutt started whining and crawling towards me, I knew that even with that cover of that it wouldn''t be a match to me, so I continued sitting still beside the campfire. When it stood up I released maybe 75 % of my killing intent to warn it that if it attacks I''ll kill and eat the little mut. But then something unexpected happend, it touched me with its bloody paw and a window opened up in front of me. New Contract Request!
A Arctic Wolf (Variant) Eli has requested you to accept him as a slave/pet/subordinate/equal. As you are on the receiving end of the contract you''ve gained the right to choose if you wish to accept him as either a slave (least amount of freewill), pet (a bit more freewill than a slave, but still under the owners control), subordinate (freewill incase you haven''t given it a order.), equal (No restrictions, no commands, based on mutual trust), or not at all. Owner/Master may change the status of the contracted being if so wish. You choose by giving a verbal command.
Hmm thats interesting, looking at the oonce again sleeping... Eli? I decide it might be fun to boss him around. After telling Vera what happend she look at me with unconcealed envy. "If you choose anything but equal I''ll punch you until your blue." "But Vera, it''s still a monster, I can''t give it the chance to attack us or what if it attacks someone else?! Can you trust this mutt completely?" Seeing her face as if she''s having an argument with her self a small smile appears on my lips. "If I make him my subordinate I can command him to not attack us or others while he still has complete freewill, okay?" She looks at me for a while after sighing. "Sure, but you can''t take advantage of the contract or I''ll hate you!" She says with anger clearly showing she''s serious. I personally wouldn''t really care if she hates me or not but I can''t change the fact that I would be a bit lonely if she left... "Sure but if you or me are in danger, don''t blame me for being ruthless." I say while showing as serious eyes as she did. "I accept Eli as a subordinate." White light descends from the heavens as it curls around me and the sleeping mutt. After a while you could faintly see a golden string attaching my heart and his.
You''ve accepted Eli the Arctic Wolf (Variant), as your subordinate. As you are his master you have gained access to his title(s), abilities and attributes.
''Oh that''s interesting, without saying anything I think titles show Eli.''
