《Good Evil》 Prologue - The day my life changed - Author Note; Special thanks to unice5656 for editing my Prologue, pointing out all of my errors. Prologue Trying to endure the pain, I try to fight back against the men beating me and my sister, but I don''t have the power. We are only 14 years old, born into the cursed Elven race. We were playing near our village when some humans kidnapped us and sold us as slaves. We thought we were lucky because no one laid a hand on us. Only after did I understand that no one did anything to us because the sale price would fall if they did. We were bought by some adventurers who were in need of meat shields to carry the luggage and satisfy their lust. We were immediately taken inside a Dungeon, one not fully explored. I thought that maybe they would only need us for manual labor. We found a room with a large magic circle painted on the floor where the humans chose to rest. The room was one of the standard ones where you can rest on the 14th level of the dungeon. But when I tried to sit and regain my breath one of the four men who bought us punched me and started to yell. ¡°Who said you can rest, you bitch?¡± The other three men started to laugh, punching and kicking Nari while trying to rip her clothes off. I started to yell and fight back only to be hit again and again. I wanted to pray, but I knew that our fate was already set in stone.No one would help us. We elves were considered as nothing more than slaves of humans. Objects to satisfy the lust of pigs. Meat bags to do anything with. Our life was never easy to begin with. In our village, the humans came and did whatever they wanted, and we could do nothing to fight back. If only someone who could destroy and kill every human in the world existed, or at least someone who could save my sister. Even a demon or the devil himself would do, I don''t care who. But something like that will never happen, because this world is cruel. If at least I could save my sister. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. As I start to resign myself to my fate¡­ The magic circle starts to glow, and some symbols become visible on the walls.The light flashed, blinding all the people in the room. When I am finally able to open my eyes there is someone in the center of the magic circle. A young man, maybe seventeen, 1.75m tall. He was naked with long white hair, blood-red eyes with a faint glow in them. That person give the feeling of certain death to everyone in the room, maybe because of the cold and piercing eyes or the contrast of the red in his eyes, unnatural white skin and black sharp nails, but that person is for sure not human. Everyone''s breath is cut by this cold presence. Chapter 1 - The power of Evil - Author Note: Special thanks to Zahramiik and unice5656 for the PR. Scroll down for the version without PR. Chapter 1 - The power of Evil - I feel drops of cold water falling onto my forehead. Disturbed by the cold sensation, I slowly open my eyes. I try to remember why I am here but I can''t remember, I can''t remember anything. I feel empty and lost as I find myself in an unknown place, not knowing who I am. Only darkness is around me but I can clearly see every corner of the room. I try to stand up using my arms to supportmyself, but I can''t move well and I fall multiple times, so I use the blades extending from my hair to stand slowly. The blades are part of me, so I can feel them better than my arms. It seems my hair can stretch and morph into these blades. I can make up to ten of them at once. With their help, I can stand and I start to learn how to move my body. At first it was hard to stand on two legs, even with the help of the blades, but after five minutes I am capable of walking without their help. The room around me is 50m wide. I was sleeping in the very center of the room, surrounded by symbols carved into the stone floor. There is no door, no window, no way out, making me feel trapped. The room is empty, there is nothing except a stone table on the wall with something written on it. I start to walk toward that writing as if sucked in by some invisible force. I don''t try to resist because I feel like I need to read it. I can''t read what it says, but the meaning appears in my head. [When the world needs to change, someone with the power to bring that change will appear. He will be Evil and maybe save people, he will be Good and maybe bring despair. No one can tell how he will change the world, but the world needs only to change.] [...] Then I am that someone? I throw a powerful fist, breaking the table and the part of the wall the words were written on. I will do what I want and no one will give me orders! Lets find a way out of here. I look around, but there is no way out. Maybe I have to break through the walls? As I gather force in my arm, the symbols on the walls and floor start to glow brighter and brighter, until I can''t keep my eyes open anymore. I feel my mind and body falling into the darkness as I lose consciousness. When I start to fade away, the darkness becomes light, and I regain consciousness... ¡¸Loading the libraries...¡¹ ¡¸Libraries out-of-date, updating...¡¹ ¡¸Update complete.¡¹ ¡¸Injecting the libraries...¡¹ Hearing the incomprehensible words, an unbearable pain attacks my body. I feel like my head is being compressed and expanded again and again. Unable to move or cry out, I can only feel an incredible amount of pain as information is forced into my head. It feels like countless needles piercing my mind, and I hear the sound of my own skull cracking and regenerating. The pain attacks my body with more and more force until finally I lose consciousness. [35%] [44%] [70%] [89%] [100%] [Injection completed.] I wake up with the feeling that a lot of time has passed since the moment I fainted. Finally the pain has dissipated and I can breathe more easily. I don''t understand what happened and I hope it ended there. I can move well now and I understand that I am now capable of reading and speaking in more than one language. Even if I can''t test it, I somehow know it. Too bad I destroyed the writing on the wall, but what is done is done. When I start to search for a way out, the annoying voice appears again, directly in my mind. [Initializing teleportation sequence.] [Teleportation will begin in 10 seconds.] [Autodestruction will begin in 20 seconds.] [1] [5] [10] Countless lights like stars separate from the walls and floor, wrapping my body in light. I don''t feel uncomfortable, but rather , I feel at peace, as if sleeping in a safe, and warm place. It is a feeling I¡¯ve never felt before. After the last lights wrap over my body, I feel a bit of pressure, as if deep underwater, and the scenery before me changes instantly. What I see before me are four men and two badly beaten girls. One of the girls has emerald-like hair and eyes. The other girl has silver hair and beautiful yellow eyes. I can understand what is happening. Some bastards are trying to rape two young girls. This is the time to test my communication skills. [¡°Heh, you guys are so ugly and smelly, so you can''t find a woman? Then raping children is your unique way? Why don''t you fuck between yourselves and let the poor girls go?¡±] I say while emitting an arrogant aura. The men are shocked for a moment, but now I can see anger on their faces. [¡°hH-help u-us ple-plea¡­¡±. .."] The green- haired girl tries to ask for help but she is stopped by one of the men who was close to her with a heavy kick to the at her stomach. ¡°[Who are you.?¡±] The man who kicked the girl is approachesing me while speaking. Yes, I need a name. I don''t know if I ever had one and I don''t care. What was written on that wall before? Ah¡­ [My name is Evil] I said with no interest in my voice. The other three men start to laugh as they hear my name. I feel hurt, or maybe not. The man with an arrogant smile on his face continues walking towards me while speaking and unsheathing his sword. [I don''t know how you got here, but turn back and leave.] After seeing I am naked, he added. [Or do you want to have some fun with us? Hahaha.] I am already angry for the show before me. Now this piece of shit dares to make me angrier.. [Yes, I want to have some fun with you guys.] I said with a cold smile. [Then we will have some fun with your headless body!] He said while licking his lips. I can see his deplorable and dirty soul impressing me with his ugliness. The other three bastards leave the half dead girls sides and position themselves at my right, left and back while unsheathing their weapons. The 4th man is walking toward me while speaking. [Hey did you hear m...] I don''t let him finish what he was trying to say and I sent his head flying with one of the blades now extending from my hair. His head hit the wall with such incredible force and speed, it left a painting made of blood. Fragments of flesh, skull, and brain covered the large wall. The headless body, spouting blood, takes another step forward before falling like a marionette whose strings were cut. The fear coming off the other three men was so palpable I could see it. The girls,however, did not emit that same fear. I am really impressed. [You, w-what the hell did you do?] The man on my left yells in panic, not understanding what just killed one of his friends. Maybe the speed was too great for him to see the blade coming from my back and hitting with great force,sending his head flying with a cracking sound. Fire appeared in his hand, forming a ball of fire. I''m surprised by what I see, but I understand that he is attacking. I don''t let him finish as I send two blades toward him. I don''t even let him scream. In less than a second, I have already cut his arms off neatly with one blade, while the other wrapped around his body to throw him toward the man behind me, sending them flying. I just tried to apply a bit more force, but they broke the thick wall, leaving behind limbs and blood. I am a bit surprised how easily they broke. With only my blades, I killed three of the four without moving from the spot. The last man has pissed himself, while the girls fainted. Maybe the spectacle was too much, even for them, but I don''t understand why something like that can make someone faint. Mah, lets take care of the last one without destroying his equipment, since I need the clothes. Even if I don''t remember wearing clothes, I can somehow understand how to put them on and why I have to put them on. I sent one blade to stab him through his head, killing him instantly. I felt good because I could test my power and now I have something to sell to buy some clothes. I don''t want to wear the stinky clothes of those pieces of shit I just killed, someone even pissed himself! I take the arm of the man who tried to do some flashy thing with fire and I start to take large bites to suppress my hunger. Maybe I could learn to do that flashy trick he did. I see that the green haired girl Is waking up, so I approach her while still taking bites from the arm, but as she looked at me she fainted again. I throw the arm away. It seems I don''t learn any skills from eating his flesh, and it don''t even taste good raw. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. For now, I have to wait for the girls to wake up. _______________________________________________________________________ Warning: This is The version without the PR done!

Chapter 2 - New Companions - Author Note: Hello, i am the author of the Good Evil. This is my first time writing a Fanfiction, i will try hard to post one chapter per day, of course there will be a lot of errors but i hope you will forgive me. Please leave your opinions and suggestions for me to improve the quality of this work, your contribution will give me the thrust i need to continue this work. I tank you for following my work. Special thanks to Zahramiik for the PR. Scroll down for the version without the PR. Chapter 2 - New companions - I decided to wait for the girls to regain their senses. I will need them to explain to me how this world works. With my current knowledge, I will have a hard time outside of this place. While I don''t fear anything, it is true that going outside without knowing anything will make my life very difficult it would be better to convince those girls to guide me. While I thought about that, the girls begin to wake up at the same moment. As they regain their senses, their faces show how disoriented they are, trying to recall what happened. I decided to make my presence known as I spoke to them. [Hello, little girls.] I said while crouching to match our eye level, trying not to scare them. As they see me, the white haired girl screamed, running behind the other girl, crying. I can see the fear in the green haired girl, but she didn''t try to run away. I am really impressed by how hard she tries not to run away. Then I could see some resolve in her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak. [Our master is dead, and you found us inside the dungeon, so you are our new master now! p-please take us!] I was surprised by what she said. I expected her to run away from me, not the opposite. What should I do? For now, lets ask why they were in that situation. [First thing, tell me who those men were, and why you were in that situation.] I asked, and they began to tell me their story. The green haired girl¡¯s name is Nele, while the other girl¡¯s name is Nari. They are from the Elven race. It seems they were kidnapped not more than one month ago and sold as slaves in the human country, where they were bought by the first man I killed.Two girls with no money who are far away from home will be lucky if they die a painless death. At best, they will be captured and sold again. Their unique choice is for them to make me their current master, but I feel like there is more to it. For now, this situation is favorable for me, as I wanted someone to guide me and answer my questions. [Alright.] I accepted without hesitation, startling them. [While I want to ask why you want to stay with me, a person who you fear that much, I wont ask. I won¡¯t ask because I need your help and knowledge. I don''t want to harm you, and I give you my word that I will protect you.] I wanted to calm them at least a bit, so I said that. They are not empty words, if the girls are usefull, I will destroy anyone who mean to harm them. [Y-yes!] She answered with a bit of easiness in her voice. Then, while looking down, she started to talk. [Eh, I-if you need some clothes, there are some new ones in that backpack over there.] With a bit of red on her face, she said while pointing ten meters to her right. I forgot that I was naked the entire time while speaking with them. Even I can feel a bit of uneasiness discovering that I was speaking with two girls while being completely naked. I take the plain clothes from inside the backpack. They are not to my liking, but I don''t have the luxury to choose, so I put them on. [Alright, then let''s go.] I was preparing to depart, but Nele stopped me, speaking with a bit of hesitation in her voice. [Ehm. Forgive me, but if you want, we can gather the items and money for you.] [Ah, you are right. Then, please gather them, and tell me about the currency in this world.] I didn''t know how I knew about what currency is, but the meaning was inside my head. And so they started to gather whatever was of some value. Those men had 6 gold 30 silver and 143 copper coins. It seems that you can trade with those coins. 100 copper make 1 silver and 10 silver make 1 gold coin. With 10 copper coins, one can sleep and eat one night at a place called ''inn''. They said an inn is a place where one can sleep and eat in exchange for money. Also, the men I killed were some well known adventurers. No wonder they had that much money and items. I gathered their weapons and I gave two daggers to Nele and Nari, the rest are to be sold. My body is a weapon itself, so I don''t need a weapon. I don''t want to use some untrustworthy man-made weapon anyway. After gathering the items and putting them into a backpack, we head towards the exit. [How long will it take to reach the exit?] I asked Nele because Nari was still scared of me. [We are on the 14th level of the dungeon, but with the help of the Magic Circle we will arrive at the second level in an hour.] [Magic Circle?] [Magic Circles are Magic formulas written with magic power. No one knows how they are made and they can be found only in Dungeons. Not long ago, some adventurers discovered a two-way Magic Circle with the function of Teleportation in a secret room on the second floor.] Oh, so this is how I was transported here. [How could they understand that the magic circle was a Teleportation one?] After hesitating a bit, she answered. [No one can read a Magic Circle. They probably used slaves to test the circles. Slaves are often used like that in dungeons. They are sent to look for traps or as bait for strong monsters, also, we too¡­] I understand how bad it is to be a slave. If they are brought inside a Dungeon, their fate is already decided. [Ok, that is enough. Thank you.] Seeing that it is painful for them to speak about what could have happened to them, I decided to stop them. [Thank you¡­ We are the ones who should thank you!] They stop and turn toward me. [If you were not there to help us, a fate worse than death was sure to befall us! Thank you, Thank you!] [Th-Thank y-you!] With tears falling down their cheeks , they thanked me. I could feel warmth gathering in my chest. Their beautiful eyes and long hair moved my heart a little. I saved them because I wanted someone to answer my questions and because the souls of the 4 who attacked the girls were bathing in depravation. Only the souls of the two girls were light and warm. I couldn''t let two beautiful souls like theirs be corrupted by those ugly ones. But now I feel grateful for saving those girls. Maybe in the future they will become really important to me, who knows? If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. For now, I decided to answer with a smile and we resumed our walk. With Nele to my right and Nari to my left, the atmosphere between us was no longer that heavy. _________________________________________ Warning: This is the version without the PR.

Chapter 3 - Resolve - Author Note: Thanks to Zahramiik for doing the PR. Chapter 3 - Resolve - As we Walked toward the teleportation room, I killed every monster that entered the 10m range of my blades, killing them with one slash. My blades flashed through the air as they sliced through the monsters before they could even react. Nele and Nari watched with wide eyes as i cut through the monsters without stopping my steps. I could guess that they have a lot of questions, but for some reason they didn¡¯t ask. All kinds of monsters attacked us, two-headed wolves, red rabbits, and skeletons, but i killed all of them not leaving one alive. Eventually I found myself in front of a wall. I could feel that the wall was not normal, but before i could ask, Nele started to explain. [This is a fake wall made of water. You just need to close your eyes and pass through. It will take only several seconds to pass through it and for some reason, you will not get wet. After passing through, we will be in the room with the teleportation magic circle.] I chose to use one of my blades to see if what she said was true, and found it was. While i could feel a wet sensation, when i retrieved the blade,it was dry. I passed through with the girls following me. As Nele said, we arrived in a huge room illuminated by some crystals that formed the ceiling. Those crystals were all over the place on the way here too. I¡¯ve asked Nele what they were, but she didn¡¯t know. The only thing she knew about them was that they serve as source of light for the adventurers, but that was all she knew. Watching the wall i came from, I was surprised to see through it, as if through water. Nele explained to me that you can see through it from the inside, but not from outside. In the center of the room is a magic circle like the one where I met the girls, but much smaller. The room was at least half the size of the other one, but the symbols are alike. [Just walk to the center of the magic circle and you will be teleported instantly.] Nele explained and we walked into the center without wasting time. Glowing with a weak light, the magic circle teleported us into a much smaller room with the same magic circle in the center. As we arrived I could hear the sound of multiple objects cutting through the air, coming straight at us with great speed. Without a moment of thought I cut every one of them in half with my blades, discovering that the objects coming at us were all arrows. After all of the arrows were destroyed, I could see the profile of some humans several meters away from us, wielding spears, shields, swords, and other types of weapons. They were scared because they couldn¡¯t explain how we destroyed the arrows, but one of them still had his wits about him, and didn¡¯t lose time in shouting orders out to the others. Seven men and four women surrounded us, entering into the range of my blades. The leader was not aware of the danger caused by his orders. [If you don¡¯t want to die, leave all of your items and money, then run! While you''re at, it leave the two girls here too!] He shouted while looking at the girls with eyes of lust. I could feel the girls clinging to my arms, trembling. [Are all of you humans animals who only think of hurting women? All of you are the same disgusting creatures.] I said with an arrogant smile on my face. No one noticed my blades approaching them like snakes from the ground. I could not forgive them for looking at the girls with those eyes. [What did you say!? Don¡¯t you understand that we have surrounded you? You have no way to escape!] I was really angry, so i decided to teach him a lesson by using him as an example to warn others like him. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. In an instant, all of my blades flashed as they cut in half all of those who surrounded us, splashing blood in all the directions. The girls closed their eyes, as the scene before them was too much for them to watch. The only one alive is the one who spoke before, because i left him alive. I wanted to use him to give a warning to others like him, and I wanted him to pay for scaring the girls. I didn¡¯t even let him scream, as i wrapped some of my blades around his body and mouth. I took one spear from a corpse, then together with the girls still clinging to my arms, I start to walk towards the same water-wall as the one that hid the previous room. [This is the type of man I am. If you want to leave, do it now. I will give you the money so you can go back home.] I understand that for them it was painful to walk the same road as me, so i gave them the chance to leave me. But they said nothing. They continued to cling onto my arms as I walked out of the room. I don¡¯t understand what they hope to gain from being together with me.. Then, after another hour of walking we arrived at the exit, a huge black door stood before us, with figures of demons sculpted on it and strange decorations as the background. With a light push the door opened, letting me see for the first time the world outside of the dungeon. The light almost blinded me, but after some time my eyes adapted to the light. What I see is a grassland halved by a road coming from inside the forest, ending at the entrance of the dungeon. The blue sky is beautiful without a single cloud traveling on it. The flowers and their sweet scent make me feel as if the darkness inside the dungeon was only an illusion. The girls were as captured by this beautiful panorama as I. After some rest, I take the spear I picked up from the bandits that attacked us before and I turned towards the girls. [Look closely, don¡¯t dare to close your eyes. This is the man you chose to be with!] As I said that, I fixed the spear in the ground with the tip pointing at the sky. Then, after confirming that the girls are watching, I lifted the man with my blades and with a simple movement, I impaled him onto the spear, making sure he will not die instantly. Then, while the man screamed and contorted in pain, I turned toward the girls. [Now is your last chance to leave. I am something you could call a monster, if you walk with me you, will see things more cruel than that.] The girls started to cry and looked at me in fear. I could feel the pain in my chest growing, but if they wanted to come with me they needed to know what awaited them. I started to walk away, but something unexpected stopped me. [t-take us!!] [Don¡¯t leave us alone!!] [W-we don¡¯t care, s-so please!] The girls clinged to my arms with more force than before, crying, but refusing to let go. I was surprised and I was pained for making them cry, even if it was something I had to do. I turned toward them and I embraced both of them. [Sorry, i¡¯ll take you with me, I won¡¯t leave you.] I don¡¯t understand why I said that. Me, who could kill those humans without feeling anything while doing so, was moved by those two girls. I decided to protect them wherever the road will take me. I took both of their hands and began to walk along the road toward the forest, leaving the man screaming and crying in agony as a background music. It was the perfect music for the start of this adventure that will be remembered forever in history. Chapter 4 - Gathering food? - Warning! This is the Chapter without PR. You will have to wait a bit more for the PR. Chapter 4 - Gathering food? - We are walking along the road, on our way I could see strange animals and plants, Nele and Nari explained every one of them for me, I seen a lot of them and almost all of them have some specific use, from medical ones to the poisonous ones. Our main problem is the lack of food and water, I can go without water and food for much more time but the girls are clearly exhausted, after what they passed through I can¡¯t blame them. But as my eyes can see there are no sources of water, I can hunt for food but water is not so easy to find. [I understand that you are tired and going without food and water in this heat didn¡¯t help, but for now we have to keep walking for a bit more. Tell me how far is the closest city or village.] [The closest city is Void, four hours of walk along this road, Master.] For the first time, is Nari who answered my question, here voice was insecure but warm and beautiful. [Don¡¯t call me Master, my name is¡­ my name is Evil, call me Evil, Nele too.] [If is what Master want then we will call you with your name, right? Nari?] [Y-yes!] I don¡¯t have a name but I can¡¯t go without one, when I thought about a name I remembered what was written in the room I waked up. [Then let¡¯s go.] [Yes.] [Yes.] ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î On the road we encountered some adventurers, they watched us suspicion as my blades almost touched the ground but for them my blades are just hair. The adventurers watched at us with arrogantly but they continued to walk away, until I stopped them. [Hey, wait a moment.] This is a chance i can¡¯t let slip away, Nele and Nari look at me wondering why i stopped them, but they understood and nodded at me. I started to talk. [We were attacked by some monsters and lost most of our belongings, our water and food it them, could you be so gentle and sell some of yours to us?] I don¡¯t like to speak this way with pieces of shit like them, but lets try to be gentle this time, i don¡¯t want to fight for something like this. The adventurers halted their steps and turned toward us. [I thought there aren¡¯t monsters in this area, was it an abnormal?] The man in heavy armour who seems in his late twenties spoke to me. I don¡¯t know what a abnormal is but this is making my job easy easy. [Yes. We barely escaped, i though i¡¯ll never see my home again.] [I understand, then i¡¯ll sell some to you.] While nodding he take out some kind of small container with water, and a bit of food wrapped in cloth. Then he turned toward me again. [Then this is 10 silver?] I don¡¯t know the market price but this clearly too much for this small amount of food and water, before i could say anything, Nele spoke. [How can you ask 10 silver for this? Are you joking? With that much money, one can buy food and water for 2 months.] I was surprised by her tone of voice. All what they got through are making the girls grow much faster. [What did you say?? How dare a mere Elf speak to me! I¡¯ll kill y...] [Aah, and there was me who tried so hard to let you live.] The man was trying to unsheathe his sword, but I interrupted him, speaking while looking dejected looking down at the ground. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. [Let me reformulate what i said before.] In a flash I extended my blades, pointing with the tip at their face close enough for them to see how sharp they are, in the same moment I gracefully closed the distance between me and the man, grabbing him from his throat while my fangs penetrated his skin and flesh, I lifted him from the ground and he started kick and punch me, there was no need for me to dodge because his weak and desperate attacks were not worth bothering with. [If you don¡¯t want to die give us your water and food!] They couldn¡¯t move a muscle, as if petrified they could only nod. I released the one I lifted with my right hand and he fell on the ground stained with his own blood. Then I looked at him and I released bloodlust. [What are you waiting?! Go and bring them!] My voice was cold and full of bloodlust enough to make some of the adventurers fainted while some of them fell on their back watching me with expressions distorted with fear. The man who was at my feets unsheathed his sword, I readied one of my blades but i couldn¡¯t use it. The man killed himself, he used his own sword to cut his throat. I didn¡¯t think a bit of bloodthirst could have this effect on someone, the girls were watching not understanding what just happened, they were not affected by my bloodlust because I only used it against the adventurers. I retracted my blades, certain that they have no will to fight. [Did you hear me? Bring them to me!] With trembling legs they stood up and gathered the food and water before me. There was a backpack with a week worth of food and water. But that was not enough to repay for the mistake their leader made. [Hmm, if you want me to take them, give me 10 silver.] Looking at me as if looking at the Devil, they placed the coins inside one of the backpack tasks, not a word left their mouths. I lifted the backpack and placed it on my back together with the other, they are too heavy for the girls but for me they have no weight. I took the hands of the girls and started to walk inside the forest, leaving the adventurers without saying a word. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î The forest gave a sinister aura because only a bit of light could pass through the thick trees. I didn¡¯t speak much with the girls because I had to think about a lot of stuff, but i wanted to change that after entering the town. Night fall and I chose to stop here for tonight, the city is really close but Nele said we won¡¯t find a place to sleep at this hour. [Let¡¯s stop here for now, we need to rest and regain our energies.] Of course I wasn¡¯t tired or hungry, but the girls are. They need to rest and eat. After the girls nodded we walked a bit away from road and found a perfect spot to rest. Nele and Nari sat beside me and we started to eat. The girls ate while taking large bites, it was amusing to watch as they filled their mouths blushing slightly. They noticed my gaze and their faces became red as blood while slowing down their mounching. After eating I sat with the back on a tree and closed my eyes, Nele and Nari sat at my sides not wanting to leave me. Tomorrow we have to find a place to stay at and I have to think what to do from now on. While thinking about multiple things i let the darkness wrap my consciousness. Chapter 5 - Decision - Author note: Sorry for the delay, I want to say that sometimes I will release a chapter a day late, I will need some time to think about the story and characters. Chapter 5 - Decision - I¡¯m surrounded by a sea of flames, the heat is burning my flesh but i don¡¯t feel any pain. I stand on top of a mountain of corpses, crying, not because the pain but because i lost everything, a sea of corpses under a sea of flames are the only things i can see, and I, the last one standing, I won the war, just me won the war, even though there were so many countries and millions of soldiers, only I am alive. So many died and what for? No one know why this war started, but no one tried to stop it. I was the only one who fought to stop it, alone, but my power was not enough, because my power was not enough now I am the last one alive. I felt on my back, I don¡¯t have any more strength and I don¡¯t have a reason to live, I let the flames to devour my body, bringing my life to an end. If I were to be reborn, I want to remember this fight so in my next life I won¡¯t lose anything anymore, I will protect the ones I love creating a world where I am the ruler, destroying everything on my way. I will start a war to create a world for the ones I love. [Very well, I will grant your wish.] ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î [...ke.. .p..] I could hear something. [H.. wa..e up..] Someone is speaking to me. [Evil, wake up!] I opened my eyes and I found Nele and Nari looking at me with tears in their eyes. [Hey, good morning.] I said smiling briefly. [WHAT GOOD MORNING! W-When we waked up you were sweating and screaming in pain, but no meter how much we tried to wake you up you just wouldn¡¯t open your eyes!] [What happened? Did you have a nightmare?] Nightmare? I think i had one, but i can¡¯t remember. [I think so, I can¡¯t remember but I have the feeling I had a nightmare.] Yes, I had a nightmare, a painful one, but i can¡¯t remember. [We were so worried *sob* we *sob* didn¡¯t know what to do *sob*.] Nari started to cry, we were together for a short time but they are crying for me. I think I have underestimated those girls. [Sorry, I¡¯m fine now, I just had a nightmare.] I have the feeling that I need to remember that dream, but no meter how much i tried, i can¡¯t. If it¡¯s important I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll remember, maybe. After hearing my words they calmed a bit, and after a bit we packed our stuff and resumed our journey. This time the girls grabbed my hand with more strength than before. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î After a hour we were stopped by a heartquake, the movement of the earth and the rhythm of the sound coming from not too far away was strangely familiar. A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.I knew what this sound was, it was the sound of an army approaching. Nele and Nari looked at me as if asking what to do, but I kept on walking not minding the approaching danger. This was an unexpected fortune. [Whatever will happen don¡¯t leave my side, grab my arms and don¡¯t let go.] The girls did as I said not understanding my intentions. I decided to protect those girls, and to do that this was the first, necessary step. After a while the army appeared at a hundred of meters in front of us, as i thought it was an army of humans. I kept on walking. As there were no more than ten meters between us, a man riding a horse, probably their captain, raises his hand while saying something at his soldiers, then dropped it. Tens of arrows were shot, at the same moment, flying toward us tearing the air. I kept on walking, the arrows broke as if they hit a wall made of iron, I used only one blade to broke them all, instantly, for them should have looked as if the arrow hit an invisible wall because the blade was to fast for them to see. Then an idea hit me, I grabbed Nele and Nari with my hands and lifted them, then kicking the ground I shooted myself forward, causing an explosion in the place I was a moment ago, leaving afterimages behind me I kept on kicking the ground, increasing my speed. It was a one sided massacre, the soldiers marched in a straight line on the road. With two blades in a ¡°>¡± shape to move the soldiers out of my way, then I extended a blade on my left and one on my right in a straight line, covering a twenty meters area, then using the momentum of my speed I sliced through every soldier in my way. Kicking the ground I launched myself faster than an arrow, the soldiers couldn¡¯t even react. Their armours were meaningless, my blades were too sharp for them, everything on their way was cut in half, there was a mage with a magic shield around him but when my blade touched the shield it disappeared, then I understood, my blades ignores every defense, they are a weapon who cut through anything. It took me 2 minutes, in 2 minutes I covered a distance of 5 kilometers killing almost all the soldiers, I could have gone faster but that will have harmed the girls. I let the girls go, they were not scared nor pained for the death of so many lives. They just looked at me with a smile and then grabbed my hands. They are becoming stronger. I didn¡¯t killed every soldier, I left alive some of them so they could tell others what happened today. This was only the start, the humans will start to fear me while their enemies will become my allies. Finally I understood what I want to do. But first, we need more power and allies, not just me, I have to train Nele and Nari too. I want to make this world mine, and to do that, I need to destroy their current ruler, the humans. Chapter 6 - First Step - Chapter 6 - First Step - We arrived at the city Void, but what I see is nothing like a beautiful city, there are too many demi-humans slaves. While the humans are fat and are wearing expensive clothes, the slaves are thin like skelets and most of them don¡¯t even have clothes, chained and used until they die, then replaced. Dwarf, Elven, Beast-Man, there are many races but they are all just slaves. Nele and Nari wore pained expressions because they were sold here, I know that this is painful for them but I want to teach them something very important. [Nele, Nari, let¡¯s go to an Inn.] [Y-Yes.] I was very curious about that Inn the girls told me about. Walking through the city I could see only how bad the situation is for the demi-humans, the children were used as pets, their parents as toys and when they broke, they were thrown away like garbage. The girls walked watching the ground, the sight was too much for them. This city was a large orgy of fooliness. But it was still not the time to act. For now we kept on walking until we found a building with ¡°Inn¡± writed on. We entered inside and the eyes of all the clients felt onto us. I could see a chained woman, in her twenties with dog ears placed at the corner of the room, badly beaten and starved. Then a middle aged man spoke to us. [How can I help you sir?] [I want a room for tre persons.] The man watched me with eyes as if he don¡¯t believe what he just heard. [I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want to bring your animals with you, no?] I couldn¡¯t believe what I heard. [Animals? What animals?] I asked, knowing what he was referring to. [? Your slaves sir. We can¡¯t allow such filthy things to sleep in our rooms.] I could feel the blood boiling in me. The girls knew that this will happen, and they told me, but i couldn¡¯t believe them. [Oh, you dare to treat my girls like that?] [Sir, if you want we can place them at a brothel, even though they won¡¯t gain anything, they could eat and sleep in a room.] [I have a better idea, why don¡¯t you let those ¡°slaves¡± kill you? After you are ded I¡¯ll take the room.] Then I turned toward the female slave and call to her. [You, come here, I¡¯ll let you kill him, ok?] As I said that I immobilized the man and I throwed him on the ground, then I called the woman again. [Come here, have your fun with him, I promise no one will stop you.] I destroyed the chains who immobilized the woman, as the chains were destroyed she jumped and attacked the man with her fangs and claws, ripping his skin and flesh. The man was screaming but he couldn¡¯t retaliate. The other people inside watched in disbelief as the man was killed by a slave, they rushed towards the door, but they had another task to complete for me. My blades reached every corner of the room so i blocked the exits and cut the legs of those who wanted to escape. [Don¡¯t move, every one who want to leave will die.] I turned towards their slaves, everyone of the humans inside had a slave. The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. [Kill those humans who are the cause of your pain and suffering, don¡¯t worry, I will destroy the chains that are keeping you from doing so.] Nele said that those chains are made with a magic formula that killed who tried to oppose their masters. When someone bought a whole family of slaves the chains are made so if the parents rebel then their children die, and if the children rebel then their parents die. I used my blades to cut the iron chains and they killed the source of their suffering. But I wanted to teach something to the girls. I grabbed two men and throwed them to the ground next to the girls. [Kill them.] I said with a cold voice. They have to learn how to kill, hesitation is going to kill you. [Yes!] The girls nodded and with their dagger they cut the throat of the men. I was surprised how easy they killed them. I thought they would hesitate or refuse to do it, but they killed them without any hesitation, as the slaves did. The screams were could be heard from everywhere near the Inn, I could hear steps coming from afar, maybe someone called the guards, it didn¡¯t matter. When the guards arrived, all the humans inside the Inn were killed. Their blood painted the wooden walls and windows. I left the Inn with the girls at my sides and the ex-slaves at my back, tens of soldiers were waiting outside. Then releasing bloodlust I started to speak. [I¡¯m Evil, this is the end for you filthy humans, your end started with my born, you can¡¯t run nor hide, I am death!] They wanted to laugh but bloodlust released from me didn¡¯t let them. And I didn¡¯t care if they believed me. [Kill all the humans, men, women, elders, leave none alive, bring me the slaves whose master you killed so I can free them. Now, GO!] As I finished my talk, I started to kill every human I could see, I decided to let the girls move within a 10m are around me. They started to swing their daggers at the humans I let inside the impenetrable area for them to kill. More and more soldiers tried to fight me, but none survived my first attack, sometimes I let someone get close for the girls to kill. The girls were not strong but with both of them they had not much difficulties, and I was protecting them. When I saw a slave I destroyed his chains, when I saw a human I killed him, after sometime a lot of slaves were fighting along me. Mages, Warriors, Assassins, Clerics, they were all powerless in front of me. In only 30 minutes I killed the biggest part of the humans in the city. I let the demi-humans kill the rest and I took the girls on the top of the tallest building. [Is beautiful!] The girls had the same though at me, the sight of the demi-humans slaughtering those who caused them so much pain was beautiful. Their screams were music for those who were enslaved and toyed with. [Thank you, Evil.] [We are really thankful to you.] Nele and Nari thanked and embraced me, then we watched the fight for freedom ending. This was no more a city for humans. No Sunday Release! Hello readers. I wanted to inform you that I will not release chapters on Sunday. But even though I will not release chapters on Sunday I will use the time to improve the story! The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.Thanks and sorry :D Chapter 7 - Magic? - Chapter 7 The next morning, I found myself sleeping together with Nele and Nari, I was sure that the girls were sleeping together in the bed next to mine but now I¡¯m hugged from the left by Nele and right by Nari. While I was wondering how I got myself in this situation, the girls woke up. [*hyaawn* m-morning.] [Good morning.] Yawning and with sleepy faces, the girls greeted me. I found their faces really cute, this is a first for me. [Good morning.] I greeted them and I got down from the bed. I decided to ask nothing, if the girls want to sleep with me then I have no reason to refuse. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î Last night, after the battle was over, I called all the demi-humans to regroup at the center of the town because I had something to tell them. [Good job in taking your freedom back, I¡¯m sure that most of you don¡¯t know how to live their lives now, but this was not the end of the fight, the humans will come here to retake this city but we will not fight for it, this city is not worth your new lives, instead, we need more companions to along us!] [Whoaaa!!] Most of them were slaves all their lives and now they didn¡¯t know what to do, so I gave them a reason to live. [Those who want to regain the freedom of your race listen to me.] Now the most important part. [Take everything you want! Money, food, weapons and go back to your villages, tell everyone to go to the ruins of the Elven capital, there we will make our now homes!] The girls told me that in the depth of the Soira forest are the ruins of the Elven country, after the war with humans, the capital was destroyed. Those ruins were perfect for what I wanted to do. [Gather all the people who want to fight against the humans. We will meet there in one month.] The Elven capital was a place hard to reach for humans, they will not get there in less than two months. Two months were more than enough to gain power and create an army strong enough to win the first, real battle. [Hayle! Lord! Lord! Lord!] They shouted and cheered. I don¡¯t know from where this ¡°Lord¡± come from but I don¡¯t mind it. After I concluded my speech, I walked away with the girls towards the Inn where all of this started. We decided to sleep there for the night. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î After we waked up and had breakfast I took the girls around the city. What I¡¯m searching are Magic Books. I need more power, and to gain more power Magic was something I couldn¡¯t ignore, I entered a Magic Shop together with the girls. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. [There are some Books, I can¡¯t read them so I don¡¯t know if they are what you search.] Nele guided me towards some books on a raft. All of them had a tree painted on the cover. [Why are this tree painted on each cover?] I asked the girls hoping for a answer. [This is the symbol of magic. Every object released by the magic guild have those trees imprinted onto.] [Oh, I understand, thank you.] After I thanked Nari for the answer I took one book and turned the first page. I could read them, reading them was as natural as breathing. The title was behind the cover ¡°Novice level magic¡±. I took a seat and started to read aloud for the girls to hear. ¡°Magic is the use of Will combined with the energy of the body, combining Will and energy is possible to give form to a new kind of power within the caster¡¯s body. Combining those two will form what we call Mana, the quantity of mana one have, depend on the individual. Only a few can fuse the two and give life to Mana within the body, the more Mana is used, the stronger the spell become. Everyone have his own way to combine Will and energy, you have to discover your own for the next step. First Basic Spell ¡°Fire¡± Fire is your body.¡± So the Will need energy to manifest? In other words I have to put energy in my Will to give form to it. This is easier than I though. I imagined my body becoming fire, the fire burning my flesh without causing any pain. This feeling is familiar, the feeling of the fire burning me is almost as if is real, I feel the heat and the sounds of flames, then I gave energy to my will. As I did that my body is covered in white flames, flames with no heat nor sound, burning silently. [M-Master, what is that?!] Nari jumped from her seat running toward me. [Stop!] I stopped Nari from coming near me, there is no heat in those flames but the book in my hands evaporated without leaving anything behind, if she touched me then she will die. [I can¡¯t explain why those flames are like this, but if you touch them you¡¯ll die.] As i said that, I concentrated on making the flames disappear. After some time, the flames leaved my body. I can feel a new kind of power within my body. Chapter 8 - The kingdom in movement - Chapter 8 My new power is, very powerful indeed, those flames can burn everything, his only flaw is that they burn even my clothes, I still remember the faces of the girls after I extinguished the flames that surrounded my body. I experimented and I understand that I can use them to increase the power of my blades concentrating the flames on them. I also can launch Fire Balls through their tips, this power is astonishing, with only the smallest amount of mana, the destruction of the spell was enough to destroy everything in his area of effect(about 50m). I tried to teach the girls how to use mana, I tought it will take some time for them to learn, but they succeeded at the first try. I teached them the fire spell I used but the color of their flames was a normal one, nonetheless their destructive power was no joke. [All right. Packed everything?] I asked Nele and Nari, we are preparing our stuff for the long journey that awaits us. [Yes, we packed everything.] We only took food, money a map and some books, the important things. [Let¡¯s go.] With that said we departed towards the Soira forest. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î At the same time in the Castle of Kings at the capital. [WHAT DID YOU SAID?!] The old king, Arol Syol Castelia, was yelling at one of his Officials, Ghierv, responsabile for the part of the kingdom Void was part of. Ghierv was reporting the facts that happened the day before in the city of Void. [The slaves, guided by someone revolted and killed everyone in the city.] While telling the king what happened, the look in his eyes was that of fear, he feared the king. Ghierv knew what happens to those who make him angry, and now some slaves had done what must not be done. [How could those little monsters defy me! Ghierv find the responsables and bring them to me, also, kill 500 demi-humans and send their heads as warning to other villages of demi-humans, tell them that those who help the rebels in any way, will be tortured then killed together with their families.] Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. The atmosphere in the Throne Room was freezing, all the present¡¯s blood was frozen by the words of the king, his cruelty was abnormal, they all tough that no one could be more cruel than him. They couldn¡¯t be more wrong. [Yes sir.] Ghierv himself didn¡¯t hate the demi-humans nor did he liked them, but even for him killing so many of them and then sending their heads to their homes, was something hard to do, but even if he didn¡¯t like the order, he had to do it anyway, or else will be his head that will fall. Ghierv, who was on one knee, got up in a straight position and after he offered his salutes to the king, left the room to comply his mission. The fool King and the stupid soldier, they still didn¡¯t know what true fear and cruelty was. ¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î¡î Their destination was the Soira forest, Nele and Nari were exercising their Magic while walking, Evil had no need for that because he already had complete control over his Magic. They were walking through the forest because cutting through was faster than walking along the road. They walked for a day but now they abruptly stopped, the cause was a big two level wooden house in front of them. What is doing a house in the middle of a forest? Was the question on their faces. [Come with me and do what I say.] After telling the girls that, Evil walked towards the door of the house, Nele and Nari were following behind him. After knocking on the door, they could hear the steps of someone coming towards the door from inside. The door opened and from inside an old man with a kind face appeared. Maybe only Evil knew who this old man was. Sorry for the long break! I had some problems(PC related :D) and I couldn''t add the other capters, from tomorrow I will continue to add the capters.

Chapter 9 Chapter 9 At first look, the old man looked like a normal, kind, old man, but what didn¡¯t let me relax was the atmosphere around the house. When my eyes meet those of the old man, I understood. [Hello old man, we are travelers.] I have a reason for being here. The old man looked at me, at the girls and again at me, then as if understanding something he started to speak with me. [Oh, nice to meet you, ehm.. what is your name?] [My name is Evil.] I didn¡¯t want to give him the name of the girls, there was a good reason for that. [Evil, my name is Eldor, I am just an old man who chose to live alone in the forest, what can I do for you?] ¡°alone¡± eh. His face was expressionless, a face who looked normal but gave no feeling. What was he fearing? I think to know the answer to that question. [We were short on water, and then we noticed your house, I want to ask you to give some water to us.] Of course we had more than enough water, I just wanted to check something about this house. [Yes, I can. Wait here, I¡¯ll go and bring you some water.] He didn¡¯t refuse, but this was not what I wanted. [I don¡¯t want to trouble you more, let me do it myself.] I want to go inside, and i¡¯ll go. [NO!... I-I can¡¯t let strangers inside.] He yelled strong enough to startle the girls, It was more than obvious that he was hiding something, the something I wanted to discover. [Oh, I¡¯m sorry, It was thoughtless of me. Then we¡¯ll wait here.] If he won¡¯t let me inside, I¡¯ll go in with another way. [Then wait here, I¡¯ll be back right away.] As he disappeared inside the house, I turned towards the girls who still didn¡¯t know what I want to do. [I want to confirm something, come with me.] Leaving them here alone was something too stupid to do. --------------------------------------------------------------- At the back of the house was the entrance of the basement, a rusty metal door. I tried to open it but, of course, it was locked. I used one of my blades to cut the lock and then I opened the door. As the door opened, we were assaulted by an incredible stink of flesh in decomposition along with a feeling of death. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. Without hesitation I wanted to make the first step inside but I was stopped by a voice. [YOU! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! DON¡¯T YOU DARE MAKE A STEP INSIDE!] The old man returned, with a face so distorted and filled with anger that was too ugly to see even for me, he rushed toward me with a sword. There was no water, I already knew something like this could happen. As I entered in his sword¡¯s range, the old man tried to swing from my feets toward my head, he was really skilled if I have to say, but nothing I couldn¡¯t handle. He ignored the girls, maybe thinking they are just powerless slaves, critical mistake. There was no reason for me to move, as the old man passed through the girls, and thinking I was his only enemy, Nari and Nele stabbed his legs from behind, with their daggers. The old man just fell on his face, it took him just a few seconds to understand what happened. With the sword still in his hand, he tried to swing at his back, but the girls were already a good distance away. I kicked the grip of his sword, and it flew away together with some of his fingers. [ARGHHH!] He screamed in pain, trying to lift himself up with his hands, but the muscles of his legs were cut, so he couldn¡¯t stand. [Nice done. Nele, Nari.] [Thank you!] The girls did a good job, so I had to praise them. [You will come with us, I want to see what is giving such an aura to make me come here.] The reason I come here was because I sensed something strange from the direction of the house, it was the first time I felt something so strong and disturbing. I took him from the clothes and I dragged him inside. Descending the stairs made of stone, the stench of blood became stronger, but the most impressive thing was the powerful thing that is at the center of all this. As we arrived at our destination, we were left without word, not for the gore before us, not for all those heads and corpses in decomposition and not for amount of blood that reached our knees. We were left speechless by the thing that was eating and drinking that blood and flesh. Something dangerous even for me.
