《Cleric or Necromancy?》 volume 1 Chapter 1 Prologue Cleric or Necromancer? Prologue: 1 Cleric or Necromancer? Prologue: 1 Hello, my name is Ted Little. I am an average kid in high school. Ok...correction...below average kid. Alright...short, ugly, stupid, well below average by a tad, in all those aspects. I wear glasses, have dirty blonde hair and my family is around average, not too rich, but not begging for basic needs either. As I walked to school I walk with great boredom. I wasn''t bullied at all but at the same time I avoided becoming a target for bullies in the first place. Not interest in girls at school either...no, I¡¯m not gay. It¡¯s just that they are all out of my league by miles, so what''s the point? I mean, no point getting worked up over something that won''t happen. I walk to my first period classroom and take my seat. It¡¯s right by the oak door of the classroom. The door is weirdly set so that my desk is at the center left of the classroom. The chalkboard is a little to the left and my vision with the aid of my glasses makes for easy reading what the teacher writes on the board. English class starts and I¡¯m already bored. My grammar is terrible and I have no use for English in the future. It''s not like I¡¯m going to be a writer or a journalist or a lawyer for that matter. My dad has it set so that I could work at the same factory as him for the rest of my life. Having your whole life planned out and guaranteed was a real stress reliever. I mean, most of the kids were shitting their pants over getting into college or university, while I just sat back relaxed and concentrated on getting my homework done. The one skill I did have, if you can call it one, was that I had Hyperthymesia. Basically what it means is that when I start thinking about my memories, my mind drifts and I almost end up stuck reliving the past. Which means time will fly by without me actually realizing any time had passed by. While it does result in a perfect or near perfect memory from what my doctor told me, I most likely will have a hard time doing any job that requires change, as moving by memory would greatly benefit me. So basically a factory job was perfect for me. While sitting in class I had drifted off into my memories I hadn''t realized that the scene around me had changed. Waking up from my memory or ¡°dream state¡± dubbed by the class. Thankfully they don''t tease me too much over it. I look up to see a barrel of a gun. I look further up to see a guy in a mask looking down at me. He has grayish blue vibrant eyes. I look around the classroom. No one else is in here with me other than the man. ¡°Where is everyone else?¡± ¡°In the gym¡± ¡°Um...what''s with the hostages?¡± ¡°Just want something from a certain student is all¡± ¡°Oh, do I need to go to the gym too? ¡°Yes¡± ¡°oh...okay¡± I raise my hands and slowly get up, I mean, who wants to get their brains ¡°accidentally¡± blown out because they didn''t move slowly enough. We depart and head towards the gym. We arrived and saw the rest of the school is in the gym. I take a seat like everyone else and sit calmly. From the looks of it, they haven''t killed anyone and they haven''t demanded anything from the police. The other students seem scared and tremble in their chairs. Since I am innocent, they won''t kill me as killing hostages would put them in a bad position. So I decide to replay a pleasant memory in front of my eyes, kind of like a movie. I hardly ever do this as I can never figure out how long it will take or how long it will last. The memory is from my childhood, swinging on the swings with normal kids acting like a normal child. The Hyperthymesia didn''t really start to noticeable affect me until I turned 12. After that, I used it whenever my parents fought at the table or when I was bored and had time to kill. The trait had caused me to have few friends and never join a club as ¡°blanking out¡± in the middle of a sport could turn out quite dangerous for me. After the pleasant memory ended I woke up again. Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Seems the gym is fairly quiet. I turn to my left and then to my right. My face pales. The two people beside me are corpses. I look back up at the stage. One of the guys points to me while puking ¡°Crazy f*cking bastard! 5 people around him get shot in the head and he doesn''t even f*cking flinch,¡± 5? I turn around to see 3 more bodies. Happy thoughts! Happy thoughts! My mind drifts off again to a different memory of when my mom was still alive. She had cancer at the time, and I was sleeping in her lap at home. Must have been around when I was 3 or 4 years old. It¡¯s been a long time since I have recalled that memory. My mind is abruptly ripped back to reality when I am slapped. I look up again and 3 more bodies have been mutilated in front of me. I look up at the man in front of me. He is the same one earlier who had brought me to the gym. I looked down at the bodies. Looks like someone carved them up with a knife and had brutally butchered them. It made me want to vomit and run as far away as I could, but what he says next, surprises me ¡°If you fuck the girl behind you, I will let her and you leave this place alive. Got it?¡± I turn around to see the prettiest girl in the school. She was completely stripped of her clothes and crying. But what made me more confused is that the gym was full of dead bodies. It appears that only she and I were left. ¡°I don''t have all day mutt! If you two want to live then fuck, and bitch, no holding back! Give him some good head.¡± This was really fucked up I had never, in my wildest dreams, wanted to do something like this. It was gross and humiliating, not only for me, but the girl in front of me. Did I mention her name was Julia Medeiros? I probably didn''t. I simply stood there, looking at her. So to my surprise she started taking off my clothes while crying. Seems her will to live was large, much larger, then my own. Then an explosion sounded from the front of the school, knocking her over. The man in front of me fell over and dropped two things. They rolled towards me and I hid them with my feet. He got up ¡°You three idiots! Help the men at the front! We need more time.¡± The three men behind him, which I had just now noticed were there, ran towards the front of the school. He then looked back at us. ¡°Did I tell you to stop?¡± Julia crawled over and continued while the crazy man in front of me grabbed a chair and started jerking off, much to my disgust. She had tears running down her eyes while she kissed me. Seems I wasn''t her first pick to have sex with. Can''t argue with her though as she is way out of my league. I lean forward stuffing my face in her tits. At the same time I grabbed the two things the guy in front of us had dropped. As I move back I hand her one. Then all I heard was a huge explosion and saw the school walls coming down with the ceiling. All I have to say is, this is the most f*cked up way for me to die. Never thought I would go out motor-boating the hottest chick in school surrounded by the dead bodies of my fellow classmates and teachers. next Chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14523 volume 1 chapter 2: stats and skills ¡°Welcome to the bridge of reincarnation! How are you?¡± Where the f*ck am I? What''s with this?Who the hell is speaking? ¡°One at a time child. Jeez these new generations ask so many questions so quickly how do they expect me to answer?¡± What wait I didn''t speak that was my thought! ¡°What did you expect silly your a soul right now you can''t speak, hear, smell, see, feel or taste. You can only think.¡± So um why am I here? ¡°Because you died dummy how else do you lose your soul?¡± Why does it feel like he is treating me like a small child? ¡°Oh because I am immortal¡± ... This guy needs to learn some f*cking respect I ain''t 2 you know ¡°Well in comparison to age though I am over a million times older so in my eyes your just a child¡± Okay... So what do I do now? ¡°Well since we went over the basics and your finally able to cooperate you are going to be reincarnated with your memories! Why you ask? Because you had in your hands a spirit ball before you died!¡± What is this f*cking P*k*m*n now? ¡°What is this P*k*m*n you speak of?¡± Oh that nothing, anyways what do I do from here on out? ¡°Oh well since you have been reincarnated with a spirit ball you get to chose your own states!¡± How? ¡°Think status!¡± Status?

Today I have realized something. I am just an average kid and no one knows that I am reincarnated. Its obvious at this point. I mean who would lock up a reincarnated child in a crib??? It makes no sense what so ever so I have decided to accept the inevitable that I am just another random child in this world.
Ding! You faced reality and stopped daydreaming! A wise decision to stop being deluded! Wisdom +2
ow. that kind of hurts my pride. Wait pride.. pride.. pride... Here, in this place, you swallow me. Yet, were I more, I could swallow you. What am I? PRIDE!!! Yay riddles I am surprised I remembered that...

Next Chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14794 volume 1 Chapter 4: possession Its been a whole 3 months since my birth I can understand about 50 different words. I got one intelligence for every milestone (5,10,25 and 50) I also got 81 more stamina. My eyesight has developed and I can see far away now. In the house their appears to be someone who appears to be my father, mother and two brothers. Other then that not much else happened. As I listen in in my now sitting position someone approaches me the one that I have labelled ¡°mom¡±. ¡°say #$#¡±(mom) ¡°%##¡±(me) ¡°its #$#) That must be mom in this language! ¡°Say #$#¡± ¡°Mom¡±
Ding* you have discovered someones name! Your own mother no less you gain 2 intelligence
The other three people in the house all come near me saying what I think is their names ¡°@$#¡±(Dad? ¡°#%^¡±(Bro older) ¡°&^*^¡±(bro younger) I try the youngest ones name first as his appears to be the hardest, once I succeed I then get the others two''s name after a couple of try''s. Sadly I don''t get any intelligence from this. After I name them all the excitement is gone and they all leave except for my oldest brother. He keeps staring at me and its kind of creepy. As he sits there staring at me. No one else is around. ¡°so @$# @$# are you @$% to @$%#¡± I tilt my head at him what is he saying? ¡°@%$# @$%#% you #%$%^ #!@$#¡± hmm? He pulls a small blade out of his pocket and get closer. Is he jealous or something? I scream and cry as loud as I can. What is wrong with him? I look directly into his eyes. They are completely black the whole eyeball not just the iris . He looks possessed. My mother runs into the room and sees whats going on. She slaps the blade from my older brother who''s name I recognized as Eric. She then grabs what appears to be vial from a nearby cupboard and splashes him with it. I can see his eyes visible clear and return to more natural colours. I think I saw something move behind his eyes... is something trying to posses him?
Ding* you have discovered the problem behind his disease you gain the Observe skill.
Okay lets check out this skill. Skill observe

Ding* you have discovered the cause and effect of holy water on the possessed intelligence +2
hmm this is making me tired I am going to go back to sleep... I wake up and my stamina is up 2. quite the nice morning gift if I do say so myself. I am however a demanding baby and cry for food. I don''t shed tears when I cry I am just really loud. The only time I cry Is when I want food. If I wet myself or.... other things I ignore it until food time and try to go to the bathroom before she gets here to feed me. She cleans me up and then feeds me. To my surprise however she put me on the ground today. This is all to my benefit though I can now try exploring by crawling. Since I have literally inspected everything I could in this room with my eyes. I know that I want out of the room, its way to boring. I upright myself and slowly lean forward with hands forward. I slowly fall and try to slow it by trying to lean back. I safely get into crawling position. I then try to get my knees under me to perform a proper crawl. However I can''t my legs are still flab¡¯s of fat. So I crawl using my arm strength and drag my butt behind me. I make it all the way to right beside the door just as I am about to see something new... someone picks me up...NOOO LET ME EXPLORE ITS SO BORING IN MY CRIB!!! I start crying for real. Please please let me see something else. However my mother ignores me and puts me in the crib.
Ding* you gain 3 strength for learning how to crawl and 3 intelligence for doing it 3 months before the average baby.
I howl in frustration at being so close to my goal! After a while I calm down and look at the bars of the cradle locking me in here. I grab one and try to lift myself. My fat body does not comply so I try to hands still nothing. I try several more times and only ending up tiring myself out.
Ding Stamina + 20 and strength +4 for your workout and using up all your stamina!
Damn me and my small amount of stamina! So tired...zzzz. When I got up I was Angry and spent the next couple hours angry. Angry that I would need to spend the next couple years acting like a child, that I couldn''t do anything right now. I was just angry.

Ding* you gain 2 Strength and 5 stamina from your workout
I then go back to sleep. When I wake up I am being poked by an old man in robes. I look directly at him. He looks at me. He was a long goatee and is bald. He has a skinny body and seems fairly fit for his size. He then takes out a jewel that is see through kind of like a diamond but it is a perfect sphere. I quickly garb the orb and it becomes completely white. The old man sighs and relaxes but then the orb becomes completely black. Must be for testing affinity... the old man''s face goes completely pale and so does my mothers. I am assuming black = evil in this world for the time being. The old man must be a sage if he has items like this...
Ding* you have discovered the town sage wisdom + 3
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. hmm the old man seems to be in a predicament not only am I a super holy child but a super cursed one in their minds. Man being a wild card in a deck is so much fun. I watch as they argue about what they want to do with me. The old man seems to have come up with an idea. He picks me up and puts me onto the floor. This time I am able to crawl properly and make a bee line right from the door. I get out and look around. The walls are all brick like my room the floor is wood. It appears to be a dinning room as there is a table and chairs. Seeing nothing interesting I turn left and head to another door. This one is closed however and I simply sit in front of it. The sage moves forward and opens it. I crawl forward and see that its a bedroom. My older brother is sleeping on the floor. I crawl right up to him. And poke his face. He awakes startled and I hit his nose. My attacks aren''t very effective however as he simply turns over. I see what appears to be a black birthmark on his neck. I poke it repeatably and I can feel the possessed spirit from earlier coming out. It somehow speaks telepathically to me. ¡°what do you want?¡± ¡°no idea just annoying you.¡± He slips out of my brother and into my finger. I can feel him moving around my body. ¡°hmm your too strong of a vessel for me to take over¡± ¡°would you like to be my first servant?¡± ¡°me serve you? As if¡± I move my finger away from my brother. ¡°Do you want me to purify you then?¡± He tires rushing back to my finger that was touching my brother. ¡°Damn you little bastard¡± ¡°You can posses things correct?¡± ¡°Yes¡± ¡°Well if I were to start using necromancy do you think having your own undead body would be to your benefit?¡± I can feel his mind moving around my body trying to find something else to possess. When I finish he stops trying to escape. ¡°Well you do have the dark affinity over 25 % which is the requirement to raise the undead... and having my own body would be quite the improvement...fine. deal mortal.¡±

So I have counted the days and today is the 365th day since my birth. I couldn¡¯t wait. I know that their are birthdays since my brother had one around 3 months ago. He seems to take after my father. What is my father you ask? A servant. For whom you ask? I don¡¯t know some count of the territory. You thought he was a guard or something? Nope just a plain old servant. Anyways my mother is a stay at home mom. My second oldest brother is the one that takes after my father. He follows every order my mother gives without question. My eldest brother is well. How do I put if? You could say he is more or less a priest. He wears white clothes all the time and practices sermons in his room. When he gives them he likes to have an audience. I usually go to them even if they are boring. Why? Because its how I learned to understand all those words. Its was quite nice but my younger of my two older brothers can¡¯t handle listening to them everyday. So after a month of me listening my brother kicked him out of the sermon much to my joy as he kept interrupting my brother. A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Well where we? Right I was about to get presents. I waited all day and nothing happened! I was so crushed I had hoped for a pet that I could..... experiment play with. So I sat around the whole day and felt dejected. Until my brother cam home. He had a box with him. My eyes shined so bright. He remembered! He walked right up to me and then... walked right past me. Tired confused and dejected I crawled to my room and sat beside my crib. My mother seeing me picked me up and put me in. I went to sleep teary eyed. The next day my mother woke me up for breakfast. No she does not breast feed me anymore... she stopped a week ago. She feeds me this corn slurry for breakfast and applesauce at night. Which to be honest is pretty good. Since I don¡¯t want to be a brat to my mother who makes clothes all day long I eat like a civilized man. Never spitting it out or dumping the food. My mother halfway through feeding me hears a knock on the door and gets up leaving spoon and and food behind. Hungry and annoyed at yesterday I grab the spoon and start feeding myself. My mother walks in with another women behind her carrying a baby. The baby is obviously a girl. But she seems frail and week. Like she wasn¡¯t been feed in days. I finish my meal before my mother looks at me again and raise my spoon to the sky. Still no one sees me. I throw the spoon and hit the little girl in the head. To my surprise she screams at me in English. ¡°Who threw that!¡± before I realize what I am doing I respond in English. ¡°I did¡± the girl turns over in her mothers arms and looks at me in shock. With a smile I say ¡°well if it isn¡¯t Julia Medeiros¡± ¡°who are you?¡± I simple stare at her then respond ¡°if you eat some food Ill tell you¡± She then cries. Her mother hadn¡¯t moved since the exchange simply stares at her daughter. Not surprising since I heard a rumour from my a couple days ago when she went out shopping that a girl hasn¡¯t responded to her mother at all in the last month. My mother however seems to know what is going on and grabs Julie and breast feeds her. Julie happily starts sucking away. Julie¡¯s mother however looks at my mother and asks ¡°what are you doing with my Lola Quentin?¡± ¡°breast feeding her¡± ¡°but why is she accepting you? She was biting me every time time I feed her for the last 4 days.¡± ¡°well try now my son seems to have a healing effect my one son wasn¡¯t possessed anymore when my little Gilbert played with him!¡± ¡°wasn¡¯t it the bishop who cured your son?¡± ¡°well he told me that he was to take credit so that my little Gilbert wouldn¡¯t get stolen.¡± ¡°wow your son might become the next pope if he continues like that!¡± ¡°yup and I hope he was a bunch of little miracle makers too!¡± wait what the fuck? Popes can have kids? Publicly? So my brother who is a priest can have a wife? I need to know more about this religion that these people follow... ¡°I¡¯m empty since I haven¡¯t feed my little Gilbert in a week.¡± she takes Lola and feeds her. A couple minutes later she stops and my mother takes me out of my chair. We are both then taken out of the house. FINALLY THE FUCKING OUTDOORS! The sun blinds me and when my eyesight returns he have already entered another house. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT... I missed my opportunity to see what is outside. The house we entered into is much more well kept then are own and a lot larger. I wonder why they didn¡¯t build it in a better part of town? We enter and see a overly large built man on a chair looking at papers. He gets up and quickly approaches us. ¡°where did you take my child my elven princess?¡± ¡°to the neighbours. And now she is eating again!¡± Elven princess? What the fuck? Isn¡¯t Julie/Lola supposed to be Human? P.s. don''t complain about the first letter in most of the dialogue I know its lower case. my keyboard is a little buggy lately so I have hard time with correcting them Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17185 volume 1 Chapter 6 ¡°Isn''t she your daughter? And isn''t your wife a human as well?¡± (my mother) His smile turns into a deep frown and he responds in a glum voice ¡°My wife was actually an elf but died in child birth. The woman taking care of my daughter is actually my sister, so my daughter is half elf but seems to have taken completely after my wife¡± ¡°Oh sorry for asking.¡± (my mother) I look at Lola (sticking with that for now) and she has pointy ears! So that must mean that even though she is the same species although only half she didn''t break the rules of being the same as me. I wonder what she did with her Karma? ¡°Well why don''t we let those to play tomorrow she seems to have perked up since meeting your son. And I am sure that I can afford your baby sitting services while you take care of them with my sister.¡± (Lola''s father) ¡°Y-y-yes sir¡± We promptly leave the house and once again I am blinded. This time however my mother is in a daze and I get a good view of my surroundings. The streets are all made out of red brick and so are the houses. The roofs of the houses are made out of something similar to hay but it seems to grow as it is green in colour and has hens and roosters jumping from house to house eating it. The doors are all made out what appears to be wood but white in colour and all of them have weird designs on them. On the bigger houses one has a shield another a sword and some other one even was a butcher knife. It most likely represents what the people who live their do and before we reenter our home I see Lola''s door which is a bunch of coins piled on top of each other. Being at home was normal expect for the fact that mom seemed dazed and pricked herself a couple of times while making clothes. When my father got home from working at the count''s house we all got ready to eat supper as we waited for him to come home. As we ate my mother started talking to my dad. ¡°So the neighbours came over today.¡±(mom) ¡°Hmm¡± ¡°Ya they brought their kid¡± ¡°Hmm¡± My father kept eating will simply piling food into his mouth ¡°They offered me a babysitting job¡±(mom) ¡°Turn them down the Snatcher''s can''t afford you¡± He then takes a big bite out of his dinner. ¡°It was the Normans who came over and offered me a job after Gilbert threw a spoon at his daughter.¡± He chokes on his food while I giggle at him. ¡°My son threw a SPOON at the daughter of the RICHEST man in town and NOW they''re offering you a JOB?¡± ¡°Yup¡± ¡°Oh my God oh my God we are so dead so dead. AHHHH please tell me why we aren¡¯t dead yet he talks about his daughter all the time in front of the count about how beautiful she is and Gilbert threw a spoon at his precious!¡± My mother grabs a wooden spoon out of her dress from gods know where and hits my Father in the Head. ¡°If you were listening to your wife the whole time you wouldn''t be so scared and wold be happy for me.¡± ¡°Okay my love explain it from the top for me.¡± ¡°On one condition¡± ¡°I get to have you all night to tonight in anyway I want¡± ¡°.....Fine¡± ???? what''s this is my mother wearing the pants in my family? She then explains the whole story from top to bottom. Just as she finishes she asks a question which I respond to ¡°So Gilbert what do you think of Lola?¡± ¡°She''s pretty¡± My mother looks at me weird. Umm shit I haven''t spoken a word other then names so far. Wasn''t I supposed to slow down to remain unnoticed? Goddamn and it isn''t her first child either so she must know something is up. Shit shit shit what am I going to do!?! ¡°Darling did you hear that? My little Gilbert responded with a full sentence even though he isn''t even a year old yet! It must be from all the time I spend talking to him!¡± But you never speak to me... wait a minute what do you mean I''m not a year old yet?!? its been 365 days! Oh... they must have more days in a year then they did on earth... I''m such a ditz for not realizing that... My Father however looks at my oldest Brother who seems very surprised. He most likely thinks that it was my oldest brother who taught me how to speak. ¡°Tired¡± (me) and I extend my arms out so that they can grab me and put me to bed. I mean the sooner I go to bed the sooner I meet Lola again right? My eldest Brother grabs me and picks me up. We travel to my room''s door and then... walk right past it. WTF brother let me go to bed! He brings me to his room and set me down on his bed. ¡°So it looks like my youngest brother has been possessed by the one that possessed me¡± Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.¡°Nope, I tamed him¡± He looks at me with a weird look. ¡°So then why can you speak? And at such a young age?¡± Ah shit I think I''m digging myself into a deeper hole. ¡°Let me go to bed or I''ll cry¡± His jaw drops ¡°My their is no way you are my brother, your not even one and your blackmailing me!?!¡± ¡°...I''ll do it¡± It''s silent for several minutes until I here an unfamiliar voice in my head. ''you want me to possess him temporarily?'' ''so you can leave as if'' ''if I give you my real name you can order me to do anything...'' ''we will see if its true tell it to me'' ''my real shade name is... soft cotton'' ''.....''

I can possess your brother to gleam information from him and he won''t remember anything about it. But it seems he has gotten stronger so I will need to borrow some of your mana'' I refocus on the real world and my brother is staring at me with a weird face waving his arm in front of me. In surprise of this I role back on his bed. ¡°So what you doing Gilbert?¡± ¡°....¡± ¡°Going to possess me? I doubt it will work I have been practising my light and healing magic¡± Light is under healing magic as I expected. ¡°Teach me¡± He looks at me with a weird face ¡°What?¡± ¡°Magic teach me¡± ¡°Your possessing my brother you can''t learn light magic¡± ¡°Teach me I''m your brother, I''ll learn¡± ¡°....Fine but on one condition¡± ¡°Condition?¡± He roles his eyes ¡°Rule¡± ¡°Oh what rule?¡± ¡°You must tell no one that I am teaching you and you must learn it off the first try or I am bringing you to the bishop tomorrow to be exorcised¡± ¡° Exercise?¡± ¡°Never mind magic is easy most get it after their first try¡± He grabs a knife then cuts his hand. Blood comes out and some spills onto the floor. He then puts his other hand over it and says ¡°Heal me by the God Aceso¡± (name is from Greek mythology) Light wraps around his arm and the wound slowly goes away but to my surprise the wound appears on his other arm. ¡°Light healing magic is a kind of magic that transfers the injury to yourself. So healing another person actually transfers the damage from them to yourself. It does however require Mana as well to function. about 100 mana per cast. Less if you have managed to level up your light magic skills. Most light mages either put all their stat points into vitality or intelligence to heal more people. Mana can also be used as a catalyst for damage taken at the later levels of Healing. Most of the bishops lean towards that and so does the pope. Some bishops however rely on the vitality healing as it makes assassinating them much harder. Now I am going to cut your arm so be still.¡± He then cuts my arm it is painful but I have felt worse in my last life. I ignore a ding that I hear and try to copy my brother. While it does work only a small portion of the wound is moved. My brother sees this and his eyes widen. They seem to widen to an impossible amount when he sees the wounds quickly repair them self from my ability Full Regeneration. ¡°A-a-are you an Angel? Only Angels have the ability to use both light magic and heal that fast...¡± Should I bluff or not? If they find out about my ability I might get fucked over... ¡°I completely understand Angel sent by God¡± ¡°What are you...¡±(cuts me off) ¡°You don''t want anyone to discover you so that Demons don''t come and try to hunt you down¡± ¡°I''m not an Angel!¡± ¡°What you aren''t? Wait I''ve something similar to this!¡± He runs over to his desk and pulls out a book with a star that seems to be shooting across the cover. He hurriedly flips through it and then stops. ¡°Here it is!¡± He grabs the book an shows it to me. I look at him with a confused face. ¡°I can''t read my Brother¡± ¡°Oh its about a divine soul!¡± ¡°A Divine Soul?¡± ¡°A near perfect soul that didn''t make it to heaven because it lacked a small amount of Karma. When a Divine Soul is Born they have Weird abilities for light Magic. They usually learn at breakneck speeds and are omens of good things to come! To think my brother is a Divine Soul!¡± I think I can play of Being a Divine soul better then an Angel considering I am a soul from another world. ¡°Don''t tell anyone okay brother?¡± ¡°Don''t worry I won''t. Because If I did the church would take you away to train you!¡± ¡°Okay. Can I go to bed now I''m tired¡± And confused how the hell did this conversation turn around so quick? He takes me to bed and buts me in my cradle before I fall asleep however. ''Soft cotton?'' ''Yes master?'' ''Why do you have the Title whipped?'' ''...'' ''Soft cotton I''m not asking'' ''Fine. Well the first person that I possessed was a Masochist. And the next thirty people as well... I possessed them all within 1 month and to my horror as I finished possessing each one they would be finished their ¡°treatment¡±... I got the Title after a week of possessing people in that house. At the time I didn''t have full control of those that I possess and well I gave them control of their bottom halves which ended in a lot of... unpleasant stuff being thrown around. To this day I fear all females'' ''...Oh God that must have been horrible....'' ''twas master twas'' ''I''ll find you a good shade wife who won''t be a sadist'' ''Master I don''t think you''ll every find a shade wife for me who can help me with my problems...'' ''Do you doubt your master?'' ''Honestly in nothing but that'' I then slowly try to drift off to sleep. But something is nagging at me. An hour later I realize what it is. I got a message when I was doing that healing thing with my Brother. I check up on what I got from it.

Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17196 volume 1 Chapter 8: getting in shit from the Women I was woken up early by mother, she then feed me what I think is corn slurry. Wish she would give me something solid and then we walked to the neighbours house. When we got their Lola was on a high chair refusing to eat any food my mother put me on the ground and so I wandered off into her house. I didn''t get far my mother picked me up before I could go any where. She put me in a chair beside Lola who had a bowl in front of her with corn slurry. Her fathers sister then left and came back with another baby. Well that explains why she was able to breastfeed. She puts that baby on the other side of Lola on another chair. Lola looks at me and says ¡°So who are you?¡± ¡°You don''t remember me?¡± ¡°Nope who are you?¡± ¡°Ted Little in the last world and Gilbert Rommel in this one.¡± ¡°Doesn''t ring a bell¡± My mother seeing us interact with each puts my chair right beside hers. ¡°so..¡± (Gilbert) ¡°What¡± ¡°You learn this world''s language yet?¡± ¡°Nope¡± ¡°Do you want me to teach you?¡± ¡°Nope¡± Man she is getting on my nerves ¡°Julie Medeiros you have been given a second chance at life are you going to throw it away?¡± She looks at me with wide eyes. ¡°How do you know I have been Reincarnated?¡± ¡°Eat your breakfast and I''ll start explaining¡± Meanwhile the other baby had been listening to us talk in English. This is going to be so bad for his ability to learn words. Sigh sucks to be him. She eats the whole entire bowl and is then picked up by her aunt and swung around while crying ¡°Mrs. Rommel Can I request that your child comes over everyday until Julie starts eating regularly?¡± ¡°Sure I am getting paid right?¡± ¡°yes don''t worry about that we will pay double since your little Rommel is working too!¡± My mother then picks me up and follows Mrs Norman to a room with everything covered in fabrics. A bad place for me to train up my Immune to death skill dammit. She then sets me down and Mrs Norman sets Lola down. She then leaves while telling my mom to look after us. I crawl right over to Lola and stop. ¡°So care to explain Gilbert?¡± ¡°Sure do you remembered how you died?¡± Her face pales and she looks down. ¡°You don''t need to explain I was their¡± Her eyes narrow ¡° What do you mean you wear their?¡± ¡°I was the one who was Forced to have sex with you but only got so far as motor-boating you¡± A look of disgust shows on her baby face which is kind of funny but this is serious business and not a time to laugh. ¡°Oh so your the guy that watched people get carved up in front of you without bating an eye¡± ¡°Well technically I wasn''t aware of what was going on since at the time I was going through a Hyperthymesia episode¡± ¡°A what?¡± ¡°Hyperthymesia is when your brain can recall memories with perfect clarity and then allows you to watch them almost like a film meaning that the whole time I wasn''t aware of what was going on in front of me.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Also I am the one that gave you a soul ball so that you could reincarnate¡± ¡°I was wondering where I got that ball¡± ¡°Also sorry for violating you¡± ¡°Its not like you had a choice I kind of forced myself onto you¡± It was then silent between us and Mrs Norman brought her child and but him down beside us. ¡°Play well with them now Ivo¡± The little boy then crawls over to us and starts babbling nonsense. I look back at Lola. ¡°So...¡± ¡°So...¡± ¡°What are your stats Lola?¡± ¡°Why are you calling me Lola?¡± ¡°Answering a question with a question. Really? Anyways your name that your parents gave you is Lola, also that is your cousin (pointing at Ivo) your aunt (pointing at Mrs Norman) your Dad is working and a merchant and my mother is the other lady. Your elven mother died giving birth to you and your Dad is the richest man in town. That''s all I know about your family in this world¡± Her brain seems to be working in overtime to comprehend everything that I said Ivo crawls over to me and pokes me in the face. I respond by crawling over to Lola. I can crawl at a much faster speed then Ivo so it gives me a little bit of time to talk. ¡°Show status Gilbert¡±

I stare blankly at it and don''t even respond when Ivo pokes me. She is immortal. My Brain basically stops functioning. I was hoping in this world that we could be lovers and have little shits running around, get old together and die. But this this shattered my Dreams. Having children with me would cause her Pain and suffering, seeing me and our children die of old age would only hurt her. It would be cruel to marry her and make her suffer that fate alone. ¡°Is something wrong Gilbert?¡± ¡°No, no its fine¡± ¡°Care to show me your stats?¡± ¡°Ya sure, Show status Lola¡± I didn''t really care at this point. I mean my Dream had just been shattered. I had hoped that in this world that I could find myself a pretty girl that only had something in common with me. But that kind of shattered it. She reads my status over and Ivo goes to poke her. He never makes it I poke him and he starts chasing after me. Its a good distraction for the time being and it will let Lola read it over. After several minutes of tag Ivo is tuckered out and I return to Lola''s side to see if she has any questions. ¡°Gilbert¡± (Lola) ¡°Yes?¡± I look at her face and she seems really angry. ¡°Who is soft cotton?¡± Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17200 volume 1 chapter 9 ¡°Soft Cotton is...¡± ¡°Your?¡± Shit if she knows I already have a Dark minion then what am I going to do? It''ll look like I''m a heartless bastard! ¡°Soft Cotton is a guy¡± Her face brightens up right away ¡°Oh that''s good¡± ¡°What''s good?¡± She gives me a face that says ''keep asking and you''ll see what hell is like'' ¡°Never mind Lola¡± ¡°SO your a healing mage with the ability to use dark magic?¡± ¡°And you can use all four elements plus electricity¡± ¡°yup ''Yawn'' I should really sleep my stamina is already out¡± She leans back on a pillow and then falls asleep. Ivo is also sleeping off to the side. My mother and Mrs. Norman who had been busy talking pick up Lola and Ivo and bring them away I sit down and lean back against a chair. My brain was busier then it had been since the start of my new life. Julie''s new name was Lola, she is Immortal and seems to be possessive of me. But I think its more of short term thing. Once she was time to think about it she will realize that marrying me will only hurt her. *sigh so much to think about and all of it depressing. I see my Mother Come back and she picks me up while talking to me in a dumbed down way. ¡°Lola and Ivo need to sleep for now. Later today you can meet them again okay Gilbert?¡± ¡°Yes, mother¡± ¡°Okay let go home!¡± ¡°Can me go to brother''s serfdom?¡± (messing the words up on purpose to avoid suspicion.) ¡°Honey its ser-mon not Serf-dom¡± ¡°Sermon?¡± ¡°Yup, who is my little genius? Gilbert is! Gilbert is!¡± Man that is suffocating. We get home and the one is home upon seeing me my mother asks him. ¡°Can you take Gilbert he wants to listen to one of your sermons¡± She then mumbles ¡°Gods knows why...¡± ¡°What was that mom?¡± ¡°Nothing dear here is Gilbert.¡± I''m handed over to my brother. Man I feel like a sack of meat when people give me to each other. I hate being picked up.
Ding* you have levelled up Axe to Grind. Now level 2
We then arrive at my Brother''s room and he again sets me down on his bed. He cuts his arm. ¡°The training is to improve your skill of healing wounds you can start now.¡± I use healing light skill 5 times and by the time I use it his wound has healed. The damage down to me is healed by the time I get to the next healing. I then hear that familiar ding but ignore it. My brother cuts himself again and I use it 4 more times until I''m out of mana. While I''m not physically tired my brain feels sluggish and I''m cranky. My brother after seeing me use it nine times has an impressed look on his face. ¡°So my little brother was over 900 mana eh?¡± ¡°Nope only 850 some of it recovered between the intervals of healing you.¡± ¡°Wow and modest too. Wait what how can you tell what your status is without looking at a status card?¡± Shit. Shit. Shit. Ummmm quick think think think. ¡°I''m a Divine Soul what did you expect?¡± That was a close one... ¡°Ohh so cool!¡± He then starts furiously writing in his book about it. Making notes on the sides of the pages. ¡°Well anyways you should give me a sermon or else mom may get suspicions about what were actually doing.¡± ¡°Okay, your right we got to hide this!¡± He then starts one of his sermons while I listen. He seems really into it, more then usually must be because he knows now that I understand what he is saying. While he rambles on I check the update I got from practising.

Would you like to Rename the Slave category? If so what? Here are some suggestions. Thralls Minions Lackeys Servants Gofers Peon Grubs Grunts Do you have any other suggestions as to the name?
These all seem kind of degrading... I''ll go with Lackeys for now. Seems the least offensive and will most likely be accepted by Lola. After this I slowly re-looked through my stats. I then paid attention to the Important part of my brothers sermon and then the sermon ended. ¡°So how did I do Gilbert?¡± ¡°You seemed rushed. Like you were trying to keep my attention. Slow down next time so that I can hear you more clearly. Also you should practise in a mirror once or twice you make weird faces when you do a sermon.¡± ¡°Thanks Gilbert! The sermon testing is coming up in three weeks so I really want to be ready!¡± ¡°Brother?¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Can you teach me how to read?¡± ¡°Sure I can do that! We can start tomorrow when I find you an easy book to read!¡± ¡°Good. Also how many days are in a year?¡± ¡°400 I thought you knew that, since Divine Souls are Reincarnates of this world...¡± ¡°Well you see in my previous life I was born into a uncivilized back water and only lived in civilization near the end of my life...¡± Just then we here mom yelling from the kitchen ¡°Marcus can you bring Gilbert over here? Its time for us to head out!¡± ¡°Sure mom be their in a minute!¡± My brother then cleans my hand of blood and then brings me out to the kitchen to my mother. ¡°Ready to go dear?¡± Next chapter Storyline (LOLA Recommended): http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17213 next chapter Gilbert POV: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17409 volume 2: Prologue All of Lola''s POV will be marked as volume 2 Lola''s Pov- Hello my name is Julie Medeiros, I am the daughter of a rich Oil tycoon. My Father sent me to an average to school so that I could understand what the ¡°average¡± person does in their day to day life. I''m not average in any way. My IQ is above 130, Men lust after me like animals and I am super rich. Today was a normal day. Since my father bought a house near the school so that I could walk to school I was walking to school on a normal day. My hair is black and long. My body is slender and lean from playing on the tennis team. I see my friends Rina and Chan. Weird names I know but I can''t say anything its not like they named themselves or that I named them. Before I get to them a cute looking guy walks up to me and asks. ¡°I have a really big crush on you want to go out with me?¡± ¡°nope¡± The reason why? School exams were coming up and I didn''t need any distractions. ¡°Oh that''s our Queen of Ice¡± (Chan) ¡°I''m not a Queen of Ice I''m just not interested, anyways lets get to class or we will be late¡± ¡°After you Queen of Ice¡± (Rina) The class started like any other day. Math class. Since I was Acing the class I took my seat and pulled a book out. It was labelled ¡°Forgotten conqueror¡± right now I was at the part where The knights where fighting a being called a Kalligor. As I read away class starts and everyone around me is cramming. Before I can finish the chapter 3 men walk in with machine guns. ¡°Stay calm and give us your cellphones¡± My father had had me trained for when people come to kidnap me so I access the alarm on my phone then put it on my desk. The next part of the plan was simply to remain clam no point in making noise and whimpering. It usually just upset them. While most of the kids are scared shitless and whimpering and crying like 5 years olds I look calm in the middle of the storm. After collecting cellphones they notice they are one short. A Short fat man Starts yelling ¡°Who didn''t give their cellphone?!?¡± Obviously no one answers. He points his gun at the boy beside me and asks. ¡°Did you not put your cellphone in?¡± ¡°S-s-sir I put mine in! Really I did!¡± ¡°Anyone going to confess that they didn''t put their cellphone in? Anyone? Hello? No you put all your cellphones in?¡± He looks back at the boy. ¡°Looks like today is your unlucky day.¡± He pulls the trigger and his blood and brains are covering the people behind me. I''m completely Shocked what kind of group kill''s people right away?!? He then points his gun at the shocked me. ¡°Did you not put your cellphone in?¡± Knowing that no one will come forward to declare that they didn''t put theirs in I respond calmly but in a shaken voice. ¡°I put my in and I can tell you who didn''t put theirs in¡± ¡°Really now?¡± ¡°Yes sir everyone has shown me their phones multiple times¡± He puts the phones in front of me and starts intimidating the other students by waving his gun around. I count up all the cellphones then put them in order of who sits where. When I''m done I know which person didn''t put their cellphone in. The man walks up to me and asks ¡°So who was the idiot who didn''t put their cellphone in?¡± I point to the boy in the back who had asked me out today. ¡°He didn''t¡± Before I even finish the boy is filled with bullet holes. He falls to the ground dead. Serves him right. Asks me out but won''t sacrifice himself for me? What a pathetic bastard. We are then headed into the gym I''m separated from the rest of the class and put in the third row. I see a boy with an unfazed look on his face enter the room. A man with a machine gun is following him. He is put in the first row. After a minute I see some people being dragged to the front of the stage. The man on the stage takes a knife and cuts the first one''s finger off and people in the first row go nuts. The man jumps off the stage and 5 of the people in the first row get up only to be shot back into their chairs. Their all surrounding the boy who had entered last. The guy on the stage starts puking. The kid who had been silent the whole time and looks to his right. His face looks like its unimpressed. The man on the stage pukes again and starts yelling This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. ¡°Crazy f*cking bastard 5 people around him get shot in the head and he doesn''t even f*cking flinch,¡± The boy then looks to his left again his face looks unfazed. And then forward again. The guy who had killed them then goes nuts yelling ¡°I¡¯ve found the boy i want to play with kill the rest!¡± for the next couple minutes all I hear are gunshots. I don''t move at all its futile they have machine guns and are mowing everyone down. The boy upfront however seems unamused. I can fell something between my legs. No its not pee. I''m really ...horny? This is the first time I have felt this. Never when I have looked at a boy have I felt lust? My friend Rina from earlier had a fetish for older men. She said it might be because her Father had left her mother and her. Could it be the same for me? Could my Fathers lack of emotion be the turn on for me? I hadn''t noticed that the room had gotten quite. Two people are dragged in front of the emotionless boy. The Crazy man from earlier who had ordered everyone be killed then proceeds to slowly peel all their skin off with his knife. The boy doesn''t respond at all. And I can feel myself getting wetter and wetter. The two are then dead in front of the boy. He slaps the boy in the face. And then says after a whole minute ¡°If you fuck the girl behind you I will let her and you leave this place alive got it?¡± The boy simply turns his head around and looks at me. I start crying. They killed everyone do you really think they''ll let us live? I start taking my clothes of anyways. If I go I don''t want to go a virgin. The crazy man then speaks again while looking at me. ¡°I don''t have all day mutt if you two want to live then fuck and bitch no holding back give him some good head.¡± I then quickly move over to the boy still with an unfazed look on his face. As I mount the boy an explosion happens and I fall over on my butt which still has underwear on. From behind me I hear. ¡°You three idiots help the men on the front we need more time.¡± Moments later he speaks again ¡°Did I tell you to stop?¡± I crawled back over to the boy then using his knees brought myself to his face kissing him. Once the kiss ends he stuffs his head vigorously into my tits while putting his hand right into between my legs. I feel something round almost pushed right inside of me. I see the roof coming down while I climax. Wishing this moment could last forever. next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17216 Volume 2 Chapter 2 ¡°Welcome to the bridge of reincarnation! How are you?¡± ??? Bridge of reincarnation? The place where you get reincarnated! ... ... So I can''t go back and finish my book? No. And is that really the only question you can think of? No only one other question. What happened to the boy with me? He like you died. That''s where he got all of his Karma from he has already been born into the world you are about to enter. He is only a week older then you.

Are you ready to reincarnate? Yes... hmmm I left them in quite the predicament didn''t I? Oh well this should be interesting to watch. I''ll have my men take over while I watch them struggle... Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17396 volume 2 chapter 3 Authors note on last chapter: Wealth and status carries over in reincarnation so the fact that she was so wealthy is the reason she had so much Karma. p.s. Lola is a self-centred woman My birth was quiet. I felt myself being grabbed out of a warm place and then handed to some one else. Wailing pursued it seemed my birth was not a thing of joy but pain and suffering. I simply survived the first 9 months of my life eating and doing what life required. At this time I had enough time to think. What if he found a women more suited to him then me? What if he doesn''t like me? Does he even need me? Will I be burden to him? (note her stats don''t really change much from her birth so hear is her current stats and stats when she meets Gilbert) I hadn''t really bothered to learn the language if someone wanted to speak to me they should just learn English. They days went by and I didn''t feel hungry eating less and less every day. The only people I have seen so far is the little buy who can''t speak English (cross out future husband) and the old hag who keeps putting her tit into my mouth. Eventually I got annoyed of this so I simply started biting her when she started feeding me. That started 3 days ago or so I really don''t keep count. She has however been drowning me in water in order to get me to drink however. She is only prolonging the inevitable. Today she picked me up again to feed me but I refused. I wanted out. Better to die now then try to find him forever. We walk outside and I bury my against her chest the light hurts my eyes. We then walk into another house. I can tell its not my house because.. well it seems like a bunch of old mouldy clothes. The women holding me is talking to another women. They keep talking and then something hits me in the back of the head. I yell so that I may confirm as to who hit me in the back of the head so that I may strangle them to death. ¡°Who Threw that!¡± I here a shrill high voice. Must be some jealous bitch. ¡°I did¡± I turn over so that I can see the face of the person of whom I am going to get revenge on... Its a baby about as big as the useless one back home. Before I can inform them of their impending doom she speaks again. ¡°well, if it isn''t Julie Medeiros¡± How the hell does this shit already now my name? Who is this person? ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Eat some food and I''ll tell you¡± I may as well I have found a new goal in my life until I find that man. Kill this women. Good thing I am super rich. Killing her should be easy. I cry to get the stupid hags attention. To my surprise the women beside her grabs me and starts feeding me. She does a much better job of feeding that''s for sure. I eat till she is dry. Which surprising isn''t that long. My old hag then grabs me and starts feeding me. Its okay I guess I didn''t realize how truly hungry I was. We then walked home and they talked to some old fat guy talking to my hag and the other lady with the bitch. As they talk I nod off to sleep. THE NEXT DAY (Harvest moon anyone?) I was rudely awoken and put into a chair. I see the bitch from yesterday in another chair nearby. Just out of strangle range. So I try to polity attain information from this thing near me. (I now refuse to consider her my equal) ¡°So who are you?¡± ¡°you don''t remember me?¡± Why would I remember you? You could be any idiot who could have been reincarnated (she thinks that reincarnation is a common thing) ¡°Nope who are you?¡± ¡°Ted Little in the last world and Gilbert Rommel in this one¡± Oh so your a guy? Damn barbarian throwing a spoon at me. ¡°Doesn''t ring a bell¡± The lady from yesterday then puts his chair right beside mine. In strangle range but he seems much stronger and bigger then I. I''m going to need to wait for an opening. ¡°So...¡± I snap at him ¡°What?¡± ¡°You learn this world''s language yet?¡± ¡°no¡± Why would I do that? If they want to talk to me they can learn english. ¡°Do you want me to teach you?¡± ¡°Nope¡± Why is he asking stupid questions? ¡°Julie Medeiros you have been given a second chance at life are you going to throw it away?¡± I widen my eyes in mock surprise and sarcastically exclaim. ¡°How do you know I have been reincarnated?¡± Any idiot could have figured that out. He already knew my name from the last world so its only common sense that he would know I have been reincarnated. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°Eat your breakfast and I''ll explain.¡± I only eat because I need the strength so that I can strangle him. Although how much he cares about my well being is kind of cute... NO none of those thoughts! Only the boy who I died with can I love! Once I am done eating I am picked up and set down in another room. I haven''t learned to crawl so I just keep myself upright. The barbarian then crawls over to me and I ask him. ¡°So care to explain Gilbert?¡± ¡°Sure you remembered how you died?¡± I look down. Must you remind me that I have no idea where my precious is? ¡°No need to explain I was their¡± So he must have been that bastard that killed me and my precious. My eyes narrow on my to kill target. ¡° What do you mean you wear their?¡± ¡°I was the one who was Forced to have sex with you but only got so far as motor-boating you¡± He is my precious?!? That should have been out of view from the guy behind us! ¡°Oh so your the guy that watched people get carved up in front of you without bating an eye¡± ¡°Well technically I wasn''t aware of what was going on since at the time I was going through a Hyperthymesia episode¡± Hyper what? ¡°A what?¡± ¡°Hyperthymesia is when your brain can recall memories with perfect clarity and then allows you to watch them almost like a film meaning that the whole time I wasn''t aware of what was going on in front of me.¡± ¡°...¡± Pfft as if but what he said is true he was the only person that could see him motor-boating me! I have found my precious! I forgive you for all those harassing things you did to get my attention. ¡°Also I am the one that gave you a soul ball so that you could reincarnate¡± The reincarnation guy did say something about a ball... but I''m pretty sure I ignored the explanation about it. Oh well let''s hear my future husbands life story! ¡°I was wondering where I got that ball¡± ¡°Also sorry for violating you¡± That would have gotten an a positive response on any woman. I''ll have to watch out it appears my future husband is a womanizer... But you can violate me in time if you make me feel the same way as last time.... ¡°Its not like you had a choice I kind of forced myself onto you¡± It was then silent for several moments until the other boy was put down near us. ¡°So...¡±(Gilbert) ¡°So...¡±(me) ¡°What are your stats Lola?¡± ¡°Why are you calling me Lola?¡± ¡°Answering a question with a question. Really? Anyways your name that your parents gave you is Lola, also that is your cousin (pointing at Ivo) your aunt (pointing at Mrs Norman) your Dad is working and a merchant and my mother is the other lady. Your elven mother died giving birth to you and your Dad is the richest man in town. That''s all I know about your family in this world¡± umm overload of info? Anyways my beloved can know anything about me. ¡°Show status Gilbert¡± He then looks it over. He shows a weird depressing face. I am kind of concerned am I not good enough? ¡°Is something wrong Gilbert?¡± ¡°No, no its fine¡± If he is concerned about my stats then what are his? ¡°Care to show me your stats?¡± ¡°Ya sure, Show status Lola¡± I look his stats over. He is better then me in every way! Well accept for affinity¡¯s. But his Health recover and ability are insane! Also their was no hyper whatever... So he really is the man of my dreams. Sigh. Finding your perfect heartless bastard feels amazing. I then continued to happily read along. That is till I got to the bottom. Most trusted and helpful?!? cotton doesn''t sound like a male name! Is she his future sex slave or something?!? ¡°Gilbert¡± (Lola) ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Who is soft cotton?¡± ¡°Soft Cotton is...¡± ¡°Your?¡± ¡°Soft Cotton is a guy¡± YAY no competition! ¡°Oh that''s good¡± ¡°What''s good?¡± I simple give him the don''t ask face ¡°Never mind Lola¡± ¡°SO your a healing mage with the ability to use dark magic?¡± ¡°And you can use all four elements plus electricity¡± ¡°yup ''Yawn'' I should really sleep my stamina is already out¡± why am I so tired I just met my.... Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17409 volume 1 chapter 10 From last chapter ¡°So how did I do Gilbert?¡± ¡°You seemed rushed. Like you were trying to keep my attention. Slow down next time so that I can hear you more clearly. Also you should practise in a mirror once or twice you make weird faces when you do a sermon.¡± ¡°Thanks Gilbert! The sermon testing is coming up in three weeks so I really want to be ready!¡± ¡°Brother?¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Can you teach me how to read?¡± ¡°Sure I can do that! We can start tomorrow when I find you an easy book to read!¡± ¡°Good. Also how many days are in a year?¡± ¡°400 I thought you knew that, since Divine Souls are Reincarnates of this world...¡± ¡°Well you see in my previous life I was born into a uncivilized back water and only lived in civilization near the end of my life...¡± Just then we here mom yelling from the kitchen ¡°Marcus can you bring Gilbert over here? Its time for us to head out!¡± new chapter ¡°Sure mom be their in a minute!¡± My brother then cleans my hand of blood and then brings me out to the kitchen to my mother. ¡°Ready to go dear?¡± ¡°Yup, see Lola!¡± ¡°Well isn''t my little genius a little prince already running to her side!¡± Mom you seriously need to get out more. She then picks me up and brings me to the neighbours. We enter and my mom puts me down in the living room with Lola and Ivo. Ivo is currently poking the very annoyed Lola. Seeing as how he can chase after me Ivo decides to do so. I again run away until he gets tired then approach Lola. ¡°You know your going to be pretty useless if you never learn to talk, walk, or other things right?¡± ¡°...ya so?¡± ¡°So if start exercising like Ivo you can walk sooner.¡± ¡°Well look at you telling me what to do when you crawl around like a bug.¡± ¡°...¡± Well that settles that time to try walking! Its a good thing this room is soft room. I get onto my knees and easily push myself up onto my legs and then stand. Since I am standing I feel pretty good. Crawling gives me rug burn anyways. I take my first step. Which to be honest is really wobbly. I seriously need to learn balance.
Ding* you gain Balance skill.
Hmm seems self explanatory I¡¯ll check it out later.
Ding* exercise level up
It would seem walking takes up a lot more stamina then crawling. I continue walking around the room. Getting re-accustomed to walking after not doing so for over a earth year. Gravity feels to heavy however. I think this world may have a stronger gravitational pull. (yes it does about 1.3 times more) I level up balance a couple of times and can walk semi normally. (every once in a while I need to stop or spread out my arms.)
Ding* exercise level up you now use 4 % less stamina to move
but it doesn''t matter much I''m exhausted. The whole time I was walking Lola had been crawling around building up her petty stamina. I sit down exhausted near where she is resting. ¡°So you get the exercise skill?¡± ¡°yup level 2 already! How is walking?¡± ¡°A little Rocky at first but I''ve got it down now.¡± (If your wondering their weren''t any parents in the room.) ¡°Must be nice¡± ¡°Yup it is¡± Lola then crawls over to me and leans her head against my shoulder. Mind you she only put a small portion of her weight behind it. Her head is still huge compared to her body as she is a toddler. We rest their for several minutes.
Ding* Stamina increased by 10
Lola''s aunt walks into the room and upon seeing a sleeping Ivo and Lola she slowly creeps back out. Better to leave the sleeping lions asleep right? So what am I supposed to do for now? I can''t level up healing or immune to death skills. I don''t know any dark spells... wait that''s it! ''Soft cotton?'' ''Yes?'' ''do you know any dark magic you can teach me?'' ''Well I could teach you possession but their are some drawbacks'' ''Such as?'' ''Since your possessing someone else your soul technically leaves your body so you have no control over your own body anymore which is kind of a no brainer since your possessing someone else. You can be kicked out of someones body when they push you out. Possession costs mana equivalent to the total stats of the other person with intelligence counting as 5 per stat and leadership as 0 per stat. So if someone has 10 in each stat you need to maintain 90 mana a minute to possess them. I would recommend testing it out on the boy as his intelligence is most likely very low. If your body is killed while you are possessing someone you can take over full control of their body if you have more then three times the intelligence. I would not recommend it however simply due to your ability which is incredibly rare.'' ''What happens if you fail to possess someone?'' ''Well its incredibly painful the rebound is not worth trying it out'' ''okay I''ll try it then'' I look at Ivo and imagine myself as him. Several minutes later its still not working. So I try thinking as if he was a doll attached to strings with me moving them. Needless to say even 10 minutes later nothing happened. ''Soft cotton'' ''Yes?'' ''Can you show me how?'' ''Sure I''ll posses Ivo first then you can go at it'' I intently watch the air and look at Ivo. As I look at him I feel something slip out of my nose. I look at it its a black mist like thing. It then drifts over to Ivo. I see it enter Ivo''s nose. Ivo then uprights himself from his nap and opens his eyes. They are pure black in colour. ¡°!@Dcdsf$@Ecx¡± (Ivo/Soft Cotton) ¡°What?¡± Ivo then moves his head back down to the ground and the black mist exits from his nostrils. The mist moves back over to me and enters my nose. ''Soft cotton?'' ''Yes?'' ''Did you have a body at some point?'' ''no never did'' ''Then what language did you speak?'' ''The language of the dead I think'' ''I want to learn it'' ''That''s kind of hard to do since I don''t have a body. Try using possession now'' ''Okay'' I imagine a mist coming out of my nose. After about a minute I can feel my conscience slipping. Like my brain is being moved out of my head. My eyesight and senses slowly leave my body. After a whole minute of this I am outside my body. I am no longer able to see. I simply ''sense'' the living things close to me. Which are some bugs, Ivo and Lola. The distance I can feel around me is around a meter. I try to move towards Ivo. But I simply don''t know how to. I can feel my body moving. It moves towards me. Seconds later I am back in my body. But this time I feel incredibly sluggish. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ''Gilbert!?! you okay master?'' ''Yes just feeling drained'' ''That''s because you started leaking mana when you turned into spirit form.'' ''Is that a skill?'' ''No anyone can do that. But you let your soul spread out to a huge amount. I had to eat part of you to get you back inside your body.'' ''So you took of my body while I was floating around'' ''Ya its easy as all your intelligence stat and wisdom stat disappears'' ''Oh'' ''I think you learned a new skill, I''m gonna try and recreate it myself'' I then feel something slipping out of my nose again. This time however it greatly thins and expands until its almost invisible. However one part is still a thick dark blob. I grab it. ''Thanks master. Almost disappeared in spirit form from that'' ''No problem you did the same for me.'' I then decide to check If I got any new stats from this little ''misadventure'' MC- Gilbert Rommel

Lackeys
Soft Cotton
Gilbert''s most Trusted and Helpful Lackey
''You get a skill soft cotton?'' ''Yup I got the skill spirit sense you?'' ''Ya me to same skill'' ''I''m going to train this skill all the time so I have more mana to possess people'' ''Sounds good I''ll try to level mine up to increase my mana pool as well'' Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17878 volume 1 chapter 11 Special thanks to MeeBoo for Proof reading my work Since I failed to possess Ivo and learned a different skill, I decided to try again. I had nothing to lose as Soft Cotton could always just return me to my body. I drifted out of my nose again, but this time tried to keep myself in one spot. After a while, I felt myself stabilize and then tried to move in the direction of Ivo. After what felt like a minute, I touched something and entered it. My eyes opened and I saw Lola sleeping on a young toddler. The toddler had his eyes closed. His hair was pitch black in colour and so was his eyebrows. His skin was incredibly white, like dead person white. If I had not known that was my body I would have assumed I was dead. Weird, I wonder what colour my eyes are? Probably blue. It''s going to suck if I ever get sunburned... wait a minute, I''ll just rip my skin off and my ability will do the rest! Plus I''ll level up my skill ''Immune to death''! Sounds like a plan! A very painful one though... Anything for Lola! Sunburn, here I come! Anyways I have spent enough time in this body. Time to return. I then exit the body of Ivo, stabilize, and float back to my own. Upon re-entry.

I felt incredibly sluggish again and passed out right after finding out my new skill and ability. When I woke up, I was back home and in my crib. Seeing as how I didn''t want to be a shit disturber, I asked Soft Cotton to spot for me. I then practiced Spirit sense until dawn, which was around 3 hours from when I started. I managed to get it all the way to level nine. I only really needed Soft Cotton to spot for the first hour, as after that I learned how to pull myself back together. This boosted my total mana up to a full 950. Considering I had started with 500, I had almost doubled my mana capacity. But at the same time I hadn''t really specialized in one type of magic. Meaning that later on, getting more mana would simply be a lot harder to do. It also seemed that my stamina regeneration rate has hit its max. Which was honestly a bit of a buzz-kill. It would seem that from now on I would simply have to try and use my stamina to its max efficiency. My leadership also hadn''t grown. But considering that I doubt I would ever lead an army, simply due to the fact that I was basically a healer and didn''t know if it was legal to practice dark magic, I would keep it that way. When my brother walked into the room I had just finished training my Spirit sense. Spirit sense didn''t actually use mana so this was quite a nice skill. He picked me up and brought me to his room. When we got there, he had paper and a weird pen-like objects. There wasn''t ink or anything and I hadn''t paid attention to the writing utensil he had been using earlier. The writing utensils were red in colour on the outside but the lead was white, which really didn''t fit the colour of the writing, which was black. ¡°Okay Gilbert. These are mana pencils. You can write with them by simply using your mana as ink. Although it''s a lot more expensive then ink pens, you''ll never have to buy ink and you can erase your writing by using the mana absorber on the back of the pen.¡± ¡°Okay¡± ¡°I am going to write out some words¡± He then proceeded to write out what appeared to be Chinese characters to my eyes. ¡°Do you recognize this little brother?¡± ¡°Nope, not at all. Can you tell me what each word is?¡± ¡°Sure¡± As he told me what each word was in the spoken language of this world, I matched it to the equivalent word in English. He kept teaching me until breakfast. When Mother called, my brother went to pick me up. ¡°No, I can walk. Let me¡± ¡°Didn''t know you could walk, sorry¡± We then went to the kitchen with me following my oldest brother. When we walked in my mother asked my brother. ¡°Where is Gilbert?¡± ¡°Behind me¡± She then looks behind my brother and sees me walking perfectly fine. Her eyes teared up and she started wailing ¡°I didn''t get to see him take his first step!¡± ¡°You saw the other two take their first steps, its not a big deal¡± (Dad) They kept arguing until breakfast was over. My brother helped me get up into my chair, as it was still too high for me to climb up, even when standing. Breakfast for today was egg, ham and bread with sauce. I then left after eating the applesauce. Why? Because mom wouldn''t let me have any of the good stuff. We walked over to the neighbours and I spent the time helping Lola learn to speak and tiring out Ivo so he would leave us alone. When I finished teaching Lola, who seemed to be slowly learning, I got some notifications
Ding* You have gained 20 stamina
Ding* you have gained the skill Teacher
After this, I got home and my brother kept teaching me how to read and write the language of this country. After the lesson I got another notification.
Ding* you have gained the skill Multilingual
I then had supper. I just discovered that us, commoners, only had two meals a day. I discovered this when mom took us home after Mrs. Norman started talking about lunch, but I never seemed hungry. I went to bed early, but not before checking my stats.

Next chapter: http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=20748&pid=222563#pid222563 Volume 1 Chapter 12 NOTICE CHANGES TO CHARACTER DISPLAY Author: so i decided to make the skill and ability sheet smaller by not having their descriptions every time as it get excessively long. As well the percentage for the healing is the chance of success. I didn''t think I explained that properly.... I also misplaced where possession was moved to skills. As well multilingual cannot actually get higher it is simply a fill in for the chart. 1 of the reasons I haven''t updated was because I was on my 69 thread. A Pathetic excuse but you guys will live with it I''m sure... I have also decided to remove elemental affinities because they are unchanging. New people will have them so... I''m doing this because well you don''t need to reread the same information 100 times. Anyways onto the chapter!!!!!! Four Years later... MC- Gilbert Rommel

I haven''t possessed anyone in that time. But I did have Soft Cotton do so to my second brother to learn the language of the dead. From what I understand the shades do not have a written language so that¡¯s a bummer. My eldest brother finished teaching me how to read write and speak the language of Giligan. I rose my immune to death with my brother doing healing magic and by cutting my self or falling on stuff. My balance improved by a good amount once I learned to stop falling and tripping on things. I got the ability to lie very quickly not only that but its my highest skill! Sadly enough it doesn''t provide any bonus and is hidden from view when others view my stats. Soft cotton my servant although week and with little health. Has a ridiculous mana re-gen rate. Soft cotton ]

it seems however that soft cotton only knows dark magic. Everything he knows is from the moment he was ¡°born¡± it seems to me like shades are ¡°born¡± where huge amounts of people die. and he was born om a battle field and with all his knowledge of dark magic. Almost all magic requires you to have a body to use. Lola also improved but not nearly as fast or as well. Most likely because almost all my improvement was in intelligence. Plus I didn''t teach her any magic. Considering that possession is dark magic And Spirit sense is dangerous if no one is spotting. I have Soft cotton so its safe but she doesn''t have anyone so its not particularly safe. When teaching her I was pretty cold. Never praising but also never insulting either. Kinda of like a robot. Last month she had someone come and start teaching her etiquette Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

. So I stopped coming over. However Ivo likes to come over and invite me to play. While this interrupts my Spirit sense practise it allows me to see the out doors. Today was one of those days. My parents are fine with it as I''m hanging out with a high class rich spare (second in line) Today was one of those days. We head into a seedier part of town. Their isn''t anything to do in the high end of town. From what I know my dad had saved the count from an assassination attempt by incidentally giving the count the wrong cup and the poisoned one to the would be poisoner. The count as a reward pays my dad handsomely to serve him. That''s why we lived in the high end of town. Ivo is about as strong as me but his stamina is slightly less. He is however faster. I am assuming that lola is weak because one she is a female (genetically weaker not meaning to insult women) two she starved herself when she was a baby. 3 she spent an extra 6 months trying to learn to crawl, walk and talk setting her back in total about 1 year. As we entered the poor area of town we went to where the other kids our age where. Since they were to young to work they often played random games around town. Since Ivo had heard a rumour about them from his dad about the ¡°little rascals¡± who ran around town causing trouble he had wanted to join them. When we saw some other kids they approached us. I looked like I fit in with my shabby clothing however Ivo wore first class clothes. ¡°So who are you two? A rich merchant and his servant?¡±(1st kid) ¡°No where just two kids looking to have fun around town¡± (Ivo) ¡°Really? What do you guys want to play?¡± (2nd kid) ¡°I have always wanted to play tag but theirs never enough people to play. You guys game?¡± (Ivo) ¡°Sure been a while since I have played¡± (3rd kid) pretty soon we had around 30 kids who wanted to play. I think Ivo may have a good leadership stat because If I tried that I would have lost. As we set up the game. I taught them rock paper scissors. But instead it was mage archer knight. Mage beats knight archer beats mage knight beats archer. . In order for it not to take an infinite amount of time we all paired up and whoever lost would keep duelling others until he won. If you won then it was your time to hide. This resulted in people who duelled quickly to have a better chance of not being it. So I duelled quickly lost twice then won and ran into the worst part of town. We all agreed that the game wold be over at night fall. I actually gained 2 levels in teaching this big crowd of kids which was quite nice. I tried to hide in plain sight looking at stalls and the like. Which actually worked quite well. After an hour I found Ivo he had scraped knees and looked exhausted. I went to over to him. Upon seeing me he looked relieved. When I got close he stared talking. ¡°barely tagged one of them and got away. You need to help me find a place to hide and recover.¡± ¡°...¡± I walked to behind a shop. When we got their he started breathing easier. Seeing as how he was quite bruised. I Healed him for practise. Upon seeing this his face lite up. ¡°Some of the other guys had to drop out because they were too sore. I''m glad that were friends!¡± ¡°Do you want to lead me to them?¡±(Gilbert) ¡°Sure but why?¡± ¡°Because its more fun with more people!¡± (Gilbert) I said it with complete sarcasm knowing he wouldn''t understand. ¡°Ya your right it is more fun with more people!¡± (Ivo) ¡°Then lead the way!¡± We then walked back towards the worst part of town where kids were tripping each other. Pushing each other and for the most part it looked like a brawl between the person that was ¡°it¡± and the one being ¡°tagged¡± some of the kids on the sidelines where completely bruised up. I went over to the nearest one and started healing him. I noticed that even after succeeding it only healed some of the wounds. And that the max amount of damage that I could take/heal was 200. After trying 8 times of which 2 were successful he got back up looked up at me and rejoined the fray. I face-palmed but continued onto the next. The next one also took to heals and then I was out of mana. There were however 3 more incapacitated kids left. Over the next 3 hours I kept healing people. All the people that I helped didn''t tag me and when I was tagged they let me tag them. When the sun set I had a large headache and returned home. I ate supper and before I went to bed I checked my stats. Immune to death had raised a level and healing light had raised to level 7. Drank some milk that is due 5 days from now. Turns out it is spoiled now.... tasted so bad. First thing I ate after not eating for a day and a half due to being sick. Also someone requested the back story for Lola''s pov. (which is currently done) Is their any other requests? Next chapter (Ivo POV recommended) http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=20756 Next Chapter Volume 1 : http://www.royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=20783 Volume 3 Chapter 1: Ivo pov Volume 3 will be Ivo POV. Three main characters will be Ivo, Lola and Gilbert. By request I am happily doing a Ivo pov. Also if your going to rate can I have your opinions it seems some people vote less then 4 stars but don''t explain. I would love to hear your comments and opinions. Also trying to keep this story off the weekly and monthly. Anyways onto the chapter! (this chapter was requested by moop) Is their any other request? Q1: why do the street rat kids have so much hp. A1: think about it. They spend all their time hitting each other and the like. Its not surprising at all that they are more hardy then Ivo I woke up to my maid shaking me awake. So I got up. She dressed me up and then lead me sleepily to the table. ¡°I want steak for breakfast!¡± (Ivo) ¡°Master I am sorry but we don''t have any for breakfast will cheese and bread satisfy you?¡± ¡°fine but tomorrow I want steak!¡± After Breakfast was over I went over to Gilbert''s house. He is fun to play with and I''m always tired when I done playing with him. My sister compared to him only gets me warmed up until she is done. Not only that but she never wants to play with me!(he refers to Lola as a sister as they grew up together like siblings do. He also refers to Lola''s father who is his uncle as dad) She is useless. All she does is listen to Gilbert and take lessons from the old hag who is always with her, who supports her not playing with me. I walk right into Gilbert''s house. No one every tells me not do just walk in. They must like me that much. I go up to Gilbert''s mother. ¡°Where''s Gilbert were going to play!¡± ¡°He is in his room sir Norman¡± ¡°OK!¡± I quickly rush to Gilbert''s room time to play! Its better then being at home with all those annoying old people! I open the door to Gilbert doing his usual thing of staring at the wall waiting for me. ¡°let''s go!¡± he follows me out and we head to the smelly part of town. Yesterday I heard from my dad that a bunch of kids were causing trouble. He told me that they had been stealing, and annoying the guards. It sounded like so much more fun then stating home so I dragged Gilbert along. My mom lets me go anywhere with him! Its great. Its like he is an adult or something in her eyes. Whatever I want to play this mysterious tag thing Gilbert told me about last week. As we walk into the smelly part of town I see some people our height! They walk towards as and the smelliest boy talked first ¡°So who are you two? A rich merchant and his servant?¡±(1st kid) ¡°No where just two kids looking to have fun around town¡± (Ivo) ¡°Really? What do you guys want to play?¡± (2nd kid) ¡°I have always wanted to play tag but theirs never enough people to play. You guys game?¡± (Ivo) ¡°Sure been a while since I have played¡± (3rd kid) If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Yay we get to play tag. We were having a really hard time deciding who would be it until Gilbert showed us Mage knight archer! Knight you had to cross your arms over your chest. Mage you stuck both arms out and archer you put one arm forward and bring the other one back. I ended up winning in the first round against Gilbert. And then ran. After a minute a kid tagged me and I tired to tag him back when I did he tripped me and tagged me again! So I chased after him again and tagged him. I then ran as fast as I could away. Eventually I lost him and saw Gilbert. We was so hard to find! He blended right in with the people around him! Out of breath I walked over to him. ¡°barely tagged one of them and got away. You need to help me find a place to hide and recover.¡± Gilbert looked at me and then walked behind some shop. While I was regaining some breath he said some words and then. My legs and arms that were sore from being tripped felt better! ¡°Some of the other guys had to drop out because they were too sore. I''m glad that were friends!¡± ¡°Do you want to lead me to them?¡±(Gilbert) ¡°Sure but why?¡± ¡°Because its more fun with more people!¡± (Gilbert) ¡°Ya your right it is more fun with more people!¡± (Ivo) ¡°Then lead the way!¡± His voice changed at certain points making him sound weird but whatever that was awesome I feel as good as new! I then lead Gilbert to where the other kids where playing for the most part. When we got their Gilbert went over to the kids who all gave up. I went and joined the fray! It was so much fun. I tripped a couple more times and went over to Gilbert who made me feel better. When the sun went down I could hardly walk with Gilbert. He brought me home and I walked inside. I sneaked into my bed as it was past my bedtime. As I was about to drift off my tummy growled. I went downstairs and grabbed some apples from the cellar I ate them leaving the cores on my bedside table. I sat their again and went back downstairs to get some water. When I got downstairs and got my drink I saw my dad. ¡°Hi dad!¡± ¡°WHERE WERE YOU TODAY YOU DIDN''T COME HOME FOR SUPPER!¡± My dad''s yelling scared me but I knew that it was all good Gilbert was with me! ¡°I played tag with Gilbert and the smelly kids in the smelly part of town it was so much fun!¡± my dad looked at me. His eyes were different from usally ¡°Ivo you are the son of a rich merchant. If you every want to marry into a prestigious family you must not act like a peasant. I forbid you from playing with Gilbert or the kids from the slums! Tomorrow I will find a sword trainer for you!¡± He then sent me to bed my heart was pounding. He wasn''t serious right? Gilbert Always came over! Volume 1 Chapter 13 have lots of time today because I''m sick so another update! although not needing to eat really gives me an extra 2 hours to write. I got early as usual because our family eats early due to my dad''s work. After eating I stretched myself out and went outside. I told my mom I was going to play and to tell Ivo where I went. I went to the lower district and found the ruffians from yesterday. Only one was still injured from yesterday so I healed him and then sat down beside a well in the middle of an open area. I watched the others play and a couple of times I was asked to play I polity declined their offers. As some of them got hurt they would walk over to me and I would heal them. It seems some of them told their parents and their parents gave them copper coins to give to me. I spent the whole day like this training my healing magic and immune to death. This training was better then all the other training mainly because I could go full out with healing people with no questions. Today was also the first time I saw a female girl from the town. It seems that most of the time that they stay inside helping their mothers. She walked right up to me and as she did she fell at least 3 or 4 times. ¡°H..he..hello¡± ¡°Hello what is your name, mine is Gilbert¡± ¡°M..m...my n...n..name is M...M...Mary¡± ¡°That''s a nice name Mary, how can I help you today?¡± ¡°M..M..My brother hurt h..h..his hand t...today c..c...can you h..h..help him?¡± ¡°Sure ill see what I can do lead the way!¡± ¡°O..o...okay¡± Man her stuttering is so annoying. I wonder if she was born with it? I walked behind her. She was very skinny, had blonde hair with dirt mixed in, and was smaller then myself. We went into the worst part of town where people where starving to death on the side of the street. I looked at them sadly. It wasn''t as if I could help them. We eventually came to a house that was in disrepair. She walked in and I followed. I saw two beds one with a teenager on it and the other was empty. ¡°Sister what are you doing back didn''t I tell you to go *cough play?¡± The house smelled horrible like a stall in a horse stable. ¡°I brought someone to heal you brother!¡± ¡°We *cough can''t afford anyone!¡± Her stuttering disappeared talking to her brother interesting... ¡°I''m only a minor healer I''m simply doing this to train so to heal you is actually a benefit to me.¡± No point in lying right now I can''t think of anything better then the truth right now... ¡°Ha *cough I don''t think you can *cough help me¡± ¡°At least let me try.¡± ¡°Fine *cough¡± Man this guy coughs a lot. I then walked over chanted the few words I needed in a voice so small on one could here. Surprisingly it worked the first time and I took 200 damage. I then tried 4 more times and was successful on the 5th try. Healing 149 damage. But looking at him he still looked sick. ¡°Thanks *cough I feel much better but this is only temporary right?¡± ¡°Yes Ill see If I can learn a stronger spell...¡± ¡°Well then since I''m well enough to work at the forge I guess Ill go work their.¡± ¡°How much do you get paid their?¡± ¡°Ten coppers a day¡± ¡°Isn''t that usually low?¡± ¡°Yes but he is the only one willing to give me a job. Most of the apprentices make 40 coppers a day.¡± If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. I looked at the coppers that had been donated to me today. Their were 15 of them. I then looked around the room. I saw a mask which had nothing on it and a carving knife. ¡°Do you carve?¡± ¡°Yes but on one has bought anything from me¡± I put the 15 coppers on the only table in the room. ¡°Can I make an order?¡± The boy had a bewildered look on his face. ¡°Sure¡± ¡°Can you make me a custom mask? I''ll pay you 15 coppers a day for your work I won''t be able to pay everyday and I''ll heal you when I come to drop off money.¡± His eyes lite up with hope. He must hate working at the blacksmiths ¡°What design do you want?¡± ¡°I''ll go home and draw a design. I''m assuming you will want to get started on finding a proper piece of wood no doubt?¡± ¡°Yes sir what is your name? Mine is Mark¡± ¡°Mine is Gilbert. No need to call me sir its simply a proper trade is all.¡± I then hurriedly went home. Grabbed some paper and a mana Pencil. I drew a Yin Yang symbol. Quite childish I know but I have never owned a mask! The Yin Yang symbol was located in the centre of the forehead. I labelled it in colour as well. The light side was a labelled dark red and the other labelled black. I then went back to the well looking for the girl. Some of the kids gave me coppers as they asked for me to heal them along the way. I was looking for her because I didn''t know where her house was. When I found her three kids where looking down at her I could here them calling her names. They were much bigger then her. I had also never seen them. I walked right into the circle completely ignoring the three of them. When I did one of them gave me a weird look. ¡°Kid what are you doing?¡± ¡°I''m Buying something what are you doing?¡± ¡°I''m telling a future whore what she is going to be.¡± ¡°Coming from a bootlicker that is quite surprising.¡± His mouth dropped. He seemed surprised that not only did I know what a bootlicker was but how to use it. Seeing as he was only 8 or 9 I knew he would get angry. Most of the 5-7 year old''s who I had been healing were now gathering around us. He eventually recovered from the shock and his face grew to an impressive red colour. ¡°Why you little bastard who do you think you are?¡± ¡°I''m no one and your a bitch¡± After that he simply punched me right in the face. Right after he did He looked down on me. ¡°Serves you right weakling¡± He then looked around at the 25 or so kids who all looked at him with rage-filled faces. This was most likely not the first time. I then shouted. ¡°I''ll heal everyone who gets hurt fighting him.¡± He turned to me looking at me with a weird face. But that was all the children needed to charge forward. Overwhelmed with vast differences in number they were soon brought down. Only 5 kids got hurt. I healed them and we were on our way. Mary lead the way. We eventually arrived and saw Mark whittling away at a piece of wood with a carving knife. I put the design on the table. ¡°How do you feel Mark?¡± ¡°Great and you?¡± ¡°Good nice seeing you again.¡± I Then walked back to the well. I had about an hour until supper. A couple of kids came and I got 2 copper coins. I went home and then had supper. I slept quite happily that night. Volume 1 Chapter 14 I woke like normal then ate. I then went to my eldest brothers room. ¡°Brother?¡± ¡°Yes Gilbert?¡± ¡°Can you teach me a stronger Healing spell for permanent damage?¡± He turns around and lifts his right eyebrow. ¡°Why do you need to learn that?¡± ¡°Well its better to learn it now rather then learning it later.¡± ¡°Well I could tell you the spell for it but You will lose what you heal since its a permanent damage your healing.¡± ¡°Give me your knife¡± My brother hands it over I put my hand on the table and prepare myself. I bring the knife While my brother looks at me with a weird face. He has seen me cut my own hand a couple of times to show how fast I heal. I curl my toes and bring the knife down as hard as I can cutting off my pinky and the finger beside it on my left hand. My Brother sees the digits fly off and his eyes widen to a huge degree. He doesn''t say anything he is too shocked. I hold my wrist and point my hand towards the ceiling. Blood flows down my hand. I take deep uneven breaths to try and focus. After calming myself down I again look at my hand. Very slowly if your watching you can see it growing back. ¡°Gilbert are you sure your not the child of a troll?¡± (Trololololol) ¡°Yes I''m sure, because then mom would have had to left town and she never has has she?¡± ¡°I guess your right, but If you grow over 6''2¡± then I''ll keep calling you a troll.¡± Fuck I''m supposed to grow to be 6''6¡±. ¡°Anyways can you teach me a spell to fix permanent damage?¡± ¡°I''ll give you the incantation next week when I go back to the church to do a sermon ok?¡± ¡°Sounds great!¡± I went to my mother after cutting my fingers and asked her a question using cute child tactics! ¡°Can I have some money mommy?¡± ¡°Sure Dear how much do you need?¡± ¡°Can I have 103 copper coins?¡± She gave me a weird look ¡°What for?¡± ¡°Secret!¡± ¡°Okay...¡± She then counted some coins and put them into a bag and handed them to me. ¡°Thanks Mom! I love you¡± She smiled and I then left the house. The second she couldn''t see my face it returned to its normal frown. My hand in the mean time was still throbbing even after 30 minutes when it takes to 500 seconds heal all the damage I could possibly take. Must be that my healing rate of permanent damage is way slower. I then headed towards Mary''s house. I got to the right district when I saw Mary. ¡°Hey Mary!¡± ¡°G..Gilbert?¡± One stutter instead of two nice improvement. ¡°Hello, can you lead me to your house I need to pay your brother¡± ¡°S...sure thing he said he has felt much better since yesterday.¡± She then leads me back to her house through the last stretch of the slums. We enter her house and her brother is sitting on his bed eating breakfast. ¡°Hey Mark here is this weeks pay in advance¡± I put the 103 coppers my mother gave me and the 2 I got yesterday. I had recounted the copper coins as soon as I got out of the house. I didn''t want to be a shitty employer and short shaft my only employe. His Eyes stared big at the coins. Most likely he had never owned that much coins in his entire life. ¡°It will only takes 4 days to finish a mask¡± ¡°Well I wanted 2 One with red and black and one with white and black. Plus I want you to paint it as well.¡± ¡°Okay. The paint will cost 50 copper. What colour do you want the rest of the mask to be?¡± The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.¡°I want the one that is red and black to be covered in white on the rest of it and the other I want in red.¡± ¡°okay so we only need 3 colours. It will probably take 3 days to finish as they need multiple coats of paint.¡± ¡°So I need 95 more copper after 7 days right?¡± ¡°Yup¡± ¡°Okay see you later¡± Shit where am I going to get 95 copper in 7 days? Well I''ll practise healing then. When I sat down by the well some adults came over to me. ¡°Kid are you the one that has been healing people?¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Can you help us then?¡± ¡°Sure¡± believing in the goodness of people I followed them. Eventually we went up to a young child who had a completely crushed hand. The flesh was contorted and blood was freely seeping out. I could still make the fingers however. It seems that the pain had most likely knocked him out as he was laying on the ground. ¡°What happened to him?¡± A burly man who was crying nearby started talking with breaking his speech. ¡°My son wanted to tell me that breakfast was ready. But since I was pounding away at the anvil I didn''t hear him at all. Now he has no future! He needs his hand if ever wants to get a job! Not only that but no women will marry a handicapped man unless they are royalty.¡± I didn''t say anything to this. I simply walked up to the boy and used healing. He was around 4-5 So after using one heal and taking 200 damage the wound for the most part was well put back together. I then shook him awake. He got up and his dad hugged him. His hand looked normal. It seems that if You fix the damage early you can prevent the damage from becoming permanent. Which kind of makes sense. The Blacksmith then looked at me. ¡°How can we repay you?¡± I simply shrugged my shoulders and started walking away. If I asked for a reward my reputation would be less then If I hadn''t requested one. Why did I want rep? I wanted rep because then nobles would be more likely to look for me and request healing. Before I got to far away however the blacksmith chased after me. He was holding what appeared to be a sword. Upon seeing it my eyes went down. I had no need for a sword. I was planning on being a support type unit making a sword a bad choice of a weapon. ¡°Wait up boy!¡± I stopped no point in running he could easily find out who I was not only that but he could most likely easily outrun me. The blacksmith then stopped in front of me, when I turned around. He took something out of his shirt and threw it to me. I caught it. It was a coin that was silver in colour. ¡°Their is a silver coin in case you don''t know one silver coin is worth 100 copper coins¡± He then points to a sword that is wrapped in cloth. ¡°The sword I have here is cursed I was wondering if you a white mage could purify the sword for me. I got this sword from my brother who took it off an enemy commander after his commander defeated him. The sword before hand was known as cursed so my brother wrapped it up and sent it to me. It is said the wielder of the sword will become possessed.¡± I didn''t say anything but I grabbed the sword and gently took it from his hands. I then went home. I had much to think about. I put the sword in my bottom drawer and spent the rest of the day practising spirit sense. Any requests? Volume 1 Chapter 15 It is rather enjoyable to listen to imagine dragons song warriors while writing I don''t know why. But I like to listen to it while writing. Anyways I am going to put Lola and Ivo pov of their Fathers view back as I don''t have enough to work with yet. Also thank you Henrywolf123 for pointing out my problem with the terrible their there and they''re. I will try to improve that repeating mistake of mine. Anyways onto the chapter! Oh forgot Read Blackthrone that novel on RR is awesome and I love it. http://ancientpoint.com/category/560-antiques_asian_antiques_/page_48.html 9 down 2nd one in, is a basic picture of the mask except the rest would be red. I didn''t sleep very well last night. I kept thinking about that sword. It was powerful enough to possess a commander so who powerful was the being in side of it? Was the being inside a shade? Why didn''t it leave the sword? How powerful is a commander? Other then that I was also excited to get my mask''s I know its still way to early but I really wanted to see them. So after half the night I started meditating. I have never done meditating before but I assumed and comfortable cross-legged position and started taking deep breaths. I tried to see if I could pull something out of my chest for 2 hours nothing happened. The reason I tried to use the chest is because in all the shows I watched everything comes from the heart. Which is completely bullshit. After being that frustrating test I tried my head and what do you know it worked! It might have helped that I had finally calmed down. However the second I let go of the energy it simply dissipated upwards. I simply looked at were it had been. Then a idea came into my head. So the skull acts like a bowl to capture mana, the bowl''s efficiency is determined by the person so the better the mage the better they are at capturing mana.... hmm does that mean if I find a item that doesn''t allow mana to pass and shape it like an upside down bottle I can pool mana into it like a storage system? Can mana become condensed and form a liquid?solid? Will it act like water? Oh lets see If I got a skill for moving mana around! Aaaaand nothing... weird... wait if I can move mana around does that mean I can inject into myself to make myself stronger? I wonder.... well lets first payoff the rest of the masks then I will try it out. So I then got out of bed did the normal morning stuff and walked outside. The silver was in my pocket. I walked down the street and as I did I wondered about something. I haven''t seen Ivo the last couple of days... I wonder where he is? He usually bugs me to play with him... Okay I''ll visit their house after I drop of the money and see Lola... Its been a while since I have seen her.. By that time I had arrived at Mary and Mark''s door I walked right in to see Mark whittling away at the wood. He looks up at me speaks. ¡°Hey how are you doing?¡± ¡°I''m doing good I just came to drop off the rest of the money¡± I then put the silver coin on the table. ¡°Do you need anymore healing?¡± ¡°No *cough my body hasn''t been this good in a long time. When do you think you can get better healing spells?¡± ¡°Next week sometime not quite sure yet¡± ¡°Okay well then see you later boss¡± The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.¡°See you Mark¡± I then left his house and walked back to the good part of town. Three kids along the way requested healing. So I complied. None of them donated. But I''m just being greedy now I already made over a silver off the people. I then arrived at the door of the Norman''s. I gently knocked at the door. I waited for 2 minutes and no one answered. I was quite surprised. They usually had someone on the other side of the door all day long. I looked down at my shirt and realized I was wearing my worst one. Wide eyed I returned home and changed into my other pair of clothing (I only have 2 pairs) Glad that on one had opened the door I returned and knocked on the door. This time the door opened before I could speak the servant who opened the door cut me off ¡°Mr. Norman was requested that you don''t come anymore¡± My mouth opened then shut. And then the door was shut polity in my face. The servant''s of Mr. Norman knew I was a good kid but that was the nicest they could be. Letting me in would put him out of a job so I can''t really blame him. I stared at the door for a couple of minutes puzzled as to what had happened. I was also slightly angry. What had I done to not be allowed over anymore? Dammit now I can''t see Lola either. Deciding that standing in front of a door wouldn''t do me any good. I returned to the slummy part of town to ask about the previous user of the sword. I wanted to judge about how strong he was to see how powerful the possessor was. I walked over to the blacksmith. ¡°Hey¡± He immediately stops hammering away at the sword he is making. ¡°Hello how are you sir?¡± ¡°I''m good and I''m not a knight so calling me Gilbert will be fine¡± ¡°Okay Gilbert what brings you around here?¡± ¡°I just wanted to ask a couple questions about the previous owner of the sword¡± ¡°Okay ask away¡± I was able to gather that the previous owner of the sword had been just as strong if not stronger then the current deputy head commander of the army he was also just as fast but incredibly stupid. As I was about to leave the Blacksmith spoke again. ¡°You can keep the sword even if you take the curse off. No one would buy it for fear of the curse and I don''t need a sword okay?¡± With a smile I replied ¡°Thanks for the gift!¡± I turned around and the smile instantly left my face. I hate smiling when I am in a foul mood. I return to the well and heal a couple of people. In between helping people I practise spirit sense. By the end of the day I had still not figured out why Mr. Norman didn''t want his kids hanging out with me. On my way home I saw my dad return. Then it all clicked. He didn''t want his kids to hang out with ''commoners'' I felt sad when I realized this. I walked into the house after my dad and sat down in my chair. (half climb its to big still) I ate quietly like usual. When my mom asked me a question ¡°So Gilbert how was your day?¡± ¡°It was okay.. the Norman''s won''t let me come over anymore...¡± ¡°Cheer up son I''ll bring you to work tomorrow how does that sound?¡± (Dad) ¡°You can do that? I''ve always wanted to see the keep of the city¡± ¡°Yes, you can come along just stay near me.¡± I went to sleep. Slightly nervous. I hope I don''t say something stupid. Volume 1 Chapter 16 My Father woke me up earlier than usual to get ready. Being late when your job shadowing is a bad idea. My second brother was also getting up since he also worked at the keep. My eldest brother had left yesterday to travel to God knows were to give his sermon. So we left early. This is the first time entering the keep so I looked around closely. The inner gate of the city had a moat and bridge inside with a large defensive structure in the middle. We walked over the bridge and into the inner keep. The place was huge! I wouldn''t want to get lost. I wonder what A duke or king sized castle would be... As we walked along we turned many times, so much to the point that I was completely lost. We eventually arrived at a large door. My father opened it. When we went inside there was a chair behind a desk facing the window. You could tell the chair was occupied because their was a hand on a arm of the chair. ¡°Hello Sir¡±(Father) ¡°Hello¡±(Count) The count then proceeds to get out of his chair. When he sees me his eyes simply focus on me. From his eyes I can tell he thinks I am just as insignificant as any other servant in the castle. I don''t fidget or look nervous at all I gave him the same look he gives me. He eventually looks at my eyes. His left eyebrow goes up slightly. ¡°You aren''t nervous?¡± ¡°Why would I be its like your going to cut my head off.¡± my answer must have surprised him because his facial expression changes it quickly returns to his original one though. ¡°Would you like to play a game?¡± ¡°Sure¡± He tells my dad to bring him something. My dad leaves for a short period and then returns. On the desk he lays what appears to be a chess set board and all. The board is a nine squares by nine squares board. He explains how each piece moves. The front row is the infantry. They can only move forward you can only capture an enemy infantry if you have 2 to there one in the three blocks in front of it. (forward, forward right and forward left) On the outside row or flanks are the knights they can only move forward, sideways, and backwards. Next are the archers. They can destroy pieces three in front of them in exchange for movement. They can only move one in each direction. Next are the healers they can also only move one in each direction but any piece beside them cannot be destroyed. Beside them are the Prince and King. They can move just like a queen in regular chess. Finally in the middle is the castle. It cannot move at all and if taken you lose the game. When I played I noticed something odd. My brain was able to think at a breakneck pace. Able to predict moves that he would or could do. I think my intelligence may have had a play in this. The first game I lost by a small margin. The count having enjoyed the first game played me again. This time I won by a small margin. We played a third time and it was a landslide victory for me. The count chatted with my father the whole time about different things. Eventually my father mentioned a rumour about a young boy who had been doing average healing work in the lower districts for no cost. The counts only comment was ¡°Tell me again when the kid is 15 so I can hire him as a court healer.¡± The rest of the conversations were about financial stuff. From what I heard, the count and the city had had a slow increase of income over the last 5 years. Most likely due to the formation of a new village a couple of hours away. I think the count was quiet surprised when I willingly beat him more than he beat me. For the most part that would be an insult because I am just a commoner. I replied with an excuse of he was to busy talking to my father. The count then had lunch and continued on to a different wing of the keep. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. We eventually arrived at a larger then average door. We went inside. In the room were two young women. The first was a human girl with thick long black hair. The second one was an elf that looked like Lola. They were both drinking tea. Wait a minute it WAS Lola. Before I could say anything. The count spoke first. ¡°This is my daughter Gisa and the Daughter of Mr. Norman¡± ¡°Hello ladies I am but a simple commoner named Gilbert Rommel¡± ¡°Hello Gilbert my name is Gisa¡± ¡°Really Gilbert?¡± (Lola) The count seemed surprised with my answer my father however was not. ¡°Well since two of you already know each other have a fun time.¡± (Count) My father and the count then left. ¡°May I join you lovely girls for a cup of tea?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± (Gisa) She then poured me a cup of tea. I drank some. It tasted like peach, honestly it was pretty good. The next several minutes were quite. To me it didn''t feel uncomfortable. I just sipped away at the tea. The first to speak was Lola. ¡°So Gilbert I heard from my brother that your not aloud to come into our house.¡± ¡°Yup because I''m a commoner.¡± ¡°I would have told my father off. But I have been here the last couple of days.¡± ¡°Did your dad have a bad sale or something¡± ¡°Probably the prices of food keep fluctuating so he can''t get stable prices¡± ¡°Sounds horrible annoying. Hey Gisa, do you know anything about the churches around here?¡± ¡°The Church of Gelders has a tight grip on everything in the kingdom of Gatoma (where we are) the kingdom Herona to the south worships a different church called Ratona Heresy is common in the much larger kingdom of Herona¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Are you a textbook?¡± (Gilbert) ¡°Whats a tect book?¡± ¡°Never-mind. Do you go to church?¡± ¡°Don''t you know that your only aloud to go to Church when you turn 15?¡± ¡°I did not thank you for informing me. Anyways Lola how is your brother doing he must be bored¡± ¡°I think he is more exhausted then bored my father hired a swordsman trainer for Ivo so that he will never get robed by some petty thief. It seems the Instructor has battle experience because he as had a few rounds with the three house guards. He won every time.¡± Just at the end of the conversation my dad walked in. ¡°Gilbert the countess needs to prepare for important company you need to follow me¡± We then swiftly left the room and we eventually arrived at the exit of the keep. My father turned around while saying. ¡°Sorry about sending you home early the count has important company coming¡± ¡°That''s okay father we can do this again another time.¡± I then walked to the outside wall of the keep the guards let me out and I was on my way.
