《Death's Companion》 Chapter 1: The Birth Of Death A child tired with his live decides to end it all. He Grabs the Kitchen knife with both hands. He holds it towards his chest. He takes a deep breath and plunges the knife into his chest. He expects to feel pain, but he doesn¡¯t, he feels warm and cosy. Like after you wake up from a good night sleep. ¡®Thats not how I thought death would feel¡¯ He thought. ¡°Morning George!¡± a cheerful voice calls to me. Would call to me, I have no friends, my family all died in the car crash a year ago. ¡°George. Get out of bed!¡± The same voiced called again. ¡°Seriously¡±, I heard footsteps coming up a flight of stairs. I heard a door open, and the man walked in. ¡°George, you¡¯ve only been dead for a month!¡± I heard the sound of sheets being ripped off and the warm and cosy feeling disappeared. I realized that I actually was in a bed and I opened my eyes. Wait I have eyes! ¡°Wait, I¡¯m dead!¡± I shouted as I sat up in bed and looked at the strange man. He looked like a celebrity, with a sharp black suit and professionally sculpted black hair. ¡°Yes¡­. and no¡± He took a deep breath ¡°You died, but I took your spirit before it went to the afterlife. With your spirit, I created a vessel for your spirit so you can more easily communicate with me and for you to not panic about not having a body.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± I don¡¯t get it. ¡°Seriously, ok¡­. basically¡­. you died, this is an alternative afterlife. That easier to understand.¡± ¡°Yeah that makes a bit of sense. Are my parents here?¡± I ask with hope. ¡°No, there souls were eaten by the devourer when it got out of its cage because it smelled a delicious soul. Your family has a special soul apparently. I have no idea what it means. ¡± He started chuckling. ¡°So, why am I here¡± I asked. Why would this strange man take me away from the afterlife? Who is he to have the power to do that? ¡°I¡¯m bored and lonely. I know that you can help relieve both.¡± ¡°How?¡± I¡¯m getting really confused. ¡°Well, you are a person so loneliness check, and because you committed suicide, you are destined to reincarnate. You see gods don¡¯t like people to commit suicide and just go to the afterlife, they want the people to be happy. They actually send the person to a world where their dreams can come true.¡± This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. ¡°But won¡¯t you stay here since only I can reincarnate?¡± ¡°Nope, in fact I¡¯m going to reincarnate with you.¡± ¡°Ok, when will I get to be reincarnated.¡± ¡°Soon, I just want to tell you one last thing.¡± His voice lowers to a whisper. ¡°My name.¡± ¡°Ok what''s so special about your name?¡± I asked confused, wow I am getting confused a lot lately. ¡°I¡¯m the god of Hell, Hades!¡± He proclaimed ¡°A gods name holds tremendous power.¡± ¡°I¡¯m honored that you would tell me that¡± ¡°My name is ¡®$%#&$@*#$^@%!#¡¯¡± ¡°What did you say¡± ¡°Oh yeah, you have a young soul, of course you can''t understand my name, when the time comes you will know how to say it¡± ¡°Ok, so am I going to reincarnate now?¡± ¡°Yes, WE are going to reincarnate now!¡± _______________________________________ Its dark. Where am I? I feel something next to me. I don''t know what it is. Suddenly I felt pain. The pain was awful! then it all stopped. Then I heard a voice. ¡°Mistress, you have two beautiful baby boys.¡± ¡°Here give me my son¡¯s.¡± Said another female voice. Probably my new mother. ¡°I¡¯m so glad they came out alright!¡± She started sounding very emotional. ¡°I can¡¯t believe we actually had children honney!¡± ¡°I know¡± said a man ¡°Who knew a Draconian and a Leviton (like a draconian but with a leviathan) could have a child, I¡¯m so happy they are alive¡± Draconian, Leviton, those sound like fictional creatures, could it be, am I in a fantasy world! _________________ Please Comment on any events you want to have happen, I will literally include anything thats not insane. Chapter 2: Deaths Reveal (Timeskip Time) 1 year later ¡°Happy birthday Grim, Happy birthday George!¡± My Mother Undine, the Leviton, called to her sleeping children. ¡°It¡¯s my birthday Grim¡± I shouted like the little kid I am. After all, including my past life I¡¯m only seven¡­. yeah I had an awful childhood in the other world. My family died, my friends shunned me because I couldn¡¯t focus on work. I thought elementry school was supposed to be a place of happiness, but for me each day was torture. But this new world is so nice! Grim is always there for me. When I tried walking and fell over and scraped my knee, he used healing magic on it to make the pain go away! I was also surprised that death/Grim could learn healing magic. ¡°It¡¯s mine too George!¡± He shouted back. ¡°Whatever, now we get to have our birthing ceremonies!¡± I had been told about the ceremonies constantly by Undine and Scorch, Scorch is our father, the Draconian. The birthing ceremony is where a child is given their blessings, and their status plates. I kind of have a good idea of who is going to bless me and Grim though. ¡°Kids come on, get your nice clothes on¡± Dad yelled from the kitchen. ¡°We¡¯re coming. We¡¯re coming.¡± Grim said loudly. ¡°Good, I don¡¯t want your pancakes to get cold.¡± He responded. ¡°Pancakes!¡± We both yelled. We almost never ate those. We started rushing down the stairs of our house bumping into each other while trying to get our clothes on as we went. Then I got angry. ¡°Where are the pancakes!¡± I said slowly but with more killing intent than a hungry dragon, even Grim, a GOD, started sweating. ¡°Ummmmm¡­¡­.¡± He was stalling for time, making me angrier. I LOVE PANCAKES, getting between me and pancakes is a death sentence I will claw at your face like a baby in a horror film. Thankfully father realized this and thought up ¡°Oh, I was just about to start making them, I want them to be as fresh as possible on your special day¡± He said with glee. ¡°Yay! Pancakes¡± I started dancing around as I always do when the prospect of pancakes is near. Father made the pancakes and they were even better than normal. I bet it¡¯s because it¡¯s a special day! ¡°Kids, lets head to the temple.¡± We all went outside and walked to the beach, Mother transformed into her Leviathan form( Undine Leviathan Form ) and Father into his dragon form. I got on Mothers back because I loved the water. Grim got on Fathers back because he let me decide, although Mother and Father let grim decide since he was a minute older than me. A minute but still. Although technically he¡¯s millions of years old, but still. We arrived at the temple at noon. When we got close I saw an amazing sight. Tons of Sea and Air creatures were all arriving at the island with their children for the ceremony. This is a special temple, because it is made for all mythical half breeds. Other temples discriminate against half breeds, especially ones like Grim and I who are in fact triple breeds. We are 1/7th Human, 3/7th Dragon, and 3/7th Leviathan. When we arrived, Father (in his human form) and Grim were waiting. Mother gently placed me on the sand and transformed back into her human form. We entered the temple which looked like the parthenon. Inside, all the children were told to line up before the altar. Grim insisted we go last, so we did. Everyone else went. Some were notable, one girl had an affinity with both light and dark magic, a boy had a strength stat of 86, and one boy got blessings from 7 gods 2 of them were major gods. Now it¡¯s my turn. I¡¯m very nervous. What if my stats are really bad. What if I¡¯m not good at magic. What if¡­ Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. ¡°George¡± Grim said to me putting his hand on my shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s all going to be fine¡± He smiled ¡°Trust me.¡± I took a deep breath and stood at the alter. The windows showing stats and blessings appeared in the air for all to see. Almost everyone in the room fainted.

Then someone finally got angry and breathed fire at me. Other people started to get the same idea and sent various attacks at me. My natural scale armor helps keep me safe, but I can see my health slowly dwindling. ¡°Stop!¡± Yelled a deep powerful voice which stops all of the parents on the spot. It¡¯s coming from Grim whose eyes turned black and a dark aura is surrounding him. ¡°You will cease this nonsense at once.¡± He walked up to the altar and put his hand on it.

The party was very nice, the food was great, there was even music, but I didn¡¯t get to socialize much, everyone stayed away from Grim and I. After about an hour of the party our parents realized we weren''t having fun and suggested we leave. We went home, then all hell broke lose. ¡°Grim who the hell are you! How are you a god! What are those limiter things! Why did you become our son! Why didn¡¯t you tell us!¡± They shouted the demands at Grim like a machine gun. Grim somehow managed to answer all of their questions in a way so now they won¡¯t abandon us. But they are going to send us off to school. I immediately complained ¡°But I know my maths, and science and reading, and all the stuff you learn in school.¡± ¡°Son you must good to school, even with our blood, without training you will die.¡± Father says ¡°George, school here is for combat and magic and really fun stuff!¡± Grim says with glee. ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll go. But make it the funnest school in the world!¡± ¡°Honey, where would be the school that has the most talent?¡± Father asks mother. ¡°Holy Cross Academy¡± Mother says ¡°They don¡¯t take people because of their wealth or status. They only take students with talent.¡± ¡°Well, lets go then George¡± Grim says with glee. ¡°Ok kids we will get an interview soon.¡± ¡°No need, the leader of the school is a religious man no? So all I have to do is call in a quick favor from Freya, she owes me a ton for saving a lotttttt of her followers. Hey Freya, could you tell the owner of the Holy Cross Academy to let in George and me, you can say something like they have an important destiny or something. Okay great thanks.¡± ¡°So?¡± I asked. ¡°Wait for it¡­.¡± Grim says, and sure enough. *Knock Knock Knock* Father walks to the door and see¡¯s an old man huffing and puffing with a letter he gives the letter to father and says ¡°See you in class on Monday¡± and then the man teleports away. ¡°Ok so lets go pack our bags George.¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± I shouted excitedly ¡°I wanna learn how to blow stuff up!¡± ¡°Thats the spirit¡± He grins. _______________________________ Yeah I know it''s even shorter, than the others. But I''m enjoying writing this, so expect a chapter tomorrow. Chapter 4: Deaths friend by association ¡°Seriously!¡± Grim protests. ¡°I am not going to some glorified Pre-School!¡± ¡°But chosen one, you are not old enough to go to even elementary school, you need to go through Pre-School''s gym class. Don¡¯t worry since you are so strong already you will make lots of friends¡± Said one of the old priests. ¡°Friends!¡± My eyes shone. ¡°Grim, can we PLEASE go to Preschool! I wanna know what it¡¯s like to have friends.¡± ¡°Ok George, but then I get to chose our first quest.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what a quest is but deal!¡± ¡°Ok then shall I take you to class.¡± ¡°YES!¡± I shouted. ¡°Ho ho ho, never seen any young whippersnappers so excited to go to preschool! I am Eden, Arch Bishop for the church of Freya, a pleasure to meet such enthusiastic youth.¡± ¡°Thank you Eden.¡± I grinned and Grim rolled his eyes. ¡°Ok, James escort them to class.¡± ¡°But I was.. then you.. ah never mind¡± says the other old guy apparently named James. I was so excited to start my first day of class, but when we arrived in the classroom, there was only one other kid there he was little like us in my old world he probably would be considered to be three, but here he¡¯s most likely one. He has black hair that sticks up and a pair of black glasses (Clay ) ¡°Hi, I¡¯m George and thats Grim nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Clay, I didn''t think I would get any classmates.¡± ¡°Hello students, I¡¯m Miss Honey and today we are going to learn about the worlds history.¡± Blah blah blah¡­. repeat that about a million times. To sum it up, Big planet, has a Pangia, where all of the continents are touching, their are many kinds of races from ratmen to light spirits, to even metal golems (aka robots). ¡°Ok thats all for now time for lunch.¡± Says the boring teacher. ¡°Hey Clay, wanna have lunch together¡± I ask ¡°Sure, but don¡¯t judge what I eat.¡± He says. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t and so does Mr. Silent treatment¡± I respond We walked outside to an area with some open grass and sat down. Grim and I took out sandwiches. And Clay reached into his shoulder bag and got out a, wait is that a three tier cake, he¡¯s going back in for more, Pie, a bag bigger than the bag it came from filled with cookies, and Ice cream. ¡°Hey Clay¡± I ask ¡°Whacha got there¡± ¡°I have a little bit of a sweet tooth¡± Yeah, no joke! ¡°So Clay, where are you from?¡± ¡°I¡¯m from just east of the dwarven capital Nori, you¡± ¡°South of the Half-Breed temple, on a small island that doesn¡¯t have a name.¡± ¡°Wait you''re a Half-Breed, I thought you were a dragon using transformation magic!¡± ¡°Nope, I¡¯m 1/7th Human, 3/7th Dragon, 3/7th Leviathan. So I¡¯m actually a triple breed!¡± ¡°Wow, thats cool, I¡¯m actually a half breed too. I¡¯m half earth elemental, and half earth spirit. I was actually named clay, because it was the first type of earth that I created.¡± ¡°Cool, but what¡¯s the difference between a elemental and a spirit?¡± ¡°George, you should remember this, a Spirit embodies something and an elemental is that something!¡± Grim says. ¡°So that¡¯s what your voice sounds like, and yes Grim thats exactly right!¡± ¡°Can you make something for us?¡± I ask excitedly. ¡°Sure one second it takes a lot of concentration.¡± a few seconds passed, then some more, then probably a minute then all of a sudden I heard a rumbling and dirt started to rise from the ground forming some kind of platforms. Wait it¡¯s coming together, it¡¯s a picnic table and chairs. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s so cool, you could be an architect!¡± ¡°Yeah I guess¡± He takes his right hand and scratches his neck with it. ¡°Anyway, I think class is starting again soon.¡± We all moaned. ___________________ Sorry for the short chapters, it''s just how I write. Chapter 5: Deaths training begins We walked back to the classroom expecting another history class but we were pleasantly surprised. ¡°Yay, gym.¡± I shouted as we went outside. ¡°I don¡¯t think I could have taken another minute of history.¡± Grim said to Clay. ¡°Same, I wonder what we are going to do¡± Clay responded ¡°I hope it¡¯s dodgeball! I love dodgeball!¡± I shouted. ¡°Welcome maggots¡± Someone shouted ¡°Oh wait you¡¯re only one, hmmmm.¡± he said Calmly ¡°Welcome Babies!¡± ¡°Yeah that¡¯s not better¡± Grim said. ¡°Whatever, show me your status plates babies.¡± He stopped being so angry and is now just enthusiastic. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you tell us your name before asking that?¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter what a baby thinks, but i¡¯m coach Green!¡± We showed him our plates. I finally got a good look at the man? He was very short, like only 5 feet tall, he had short curly brown hair. He was wearing a black shirt that showed off his biceps, and he had a pair of the ridiculously short shorts that only runners wear . Most surprisingly, he didn¡¯t freak out when he saw Grim¡¯s status plate, I wonder why? ¡°Ok you babies really do need to train. Especially you Clay, you¡¯ve relied on that pesky racial trait of yours for far too long! Time for some special training on the track I made!¡± He grinned.The track he made was basically in the shape of nascar races made out of something like rubber. ¡°What¡¯s Clay¡¯s racial trait?¡± I ask confused ¡°Earth elementals don''t lose stamina or health if they are on solid ground, like dirt or uncut stone. Wood, processed metals, air, anything that is not directly earth, doesn¡¯t restore my stamina or health.¡± Clay replied ¡°That¡¯s a cheat!¡± I shouted. ¡°No, to compensate, they have little natural stamina and health regeneration.¡± Grim replies. ¡°Yes Baby!¡± Coach Green yelled ¡°So, I have prepared a special track for you three to run on.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to run!¡± I protested ¡°I wanna play dodgeball¡± ¡°Ok Baby!¡± Coach said kindly ¡°You can dodge my fireballs while you run the track! You get the best of both worlds!¡± He shouted proudly. ¡°WHY GEORGE!¡± Grim and Clay yelled. ¡°Don¡¯t answer them, just start running!¡± He yelled as he made a fireball in my hand I took off running and looked back and saw an area of burnt grass at the place I once was. Clay and Grim were catching up to me. When they caught up as a group Coach shot a fireball at us. We barely dodged. I was still curious. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Coach freak when he saw your status plate with the god mode thing?¡± I whispered to Grim. ¡°Oh I can make that appear and disappear at will.¡± he whispered back. Another fireball came out of nowhere. ¡°Jump¡± I shouted. We all jumped and avoided the fireball. This continued for 10 minutes when Clay suddenly collapsed. ¡°Clay!¡± I shouted. I ran back to clay to check on him. His chest was still moving, I sighed in relief. Clay looked adorable even knocked out. Coach showed up too. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Baby.¡± He said gently ¡°He¡¯s fine, just exhausted, he used up all of his stamina and more trying to keep up with you two. This is exactly what he should have done, otherwise he won¡¯t get stronger.¡± he said with compassion. ¡°You two, go back to the classroom, I¡¯ll take care of this one, I¡¯d take him and put him on the ground so he would wake up, but he needs to restore it by himself, so we have to let him sleep.¡± ¡°Okay¡± I replied grabbing Grim with my right hand dragging him back to the classroom. When we returned to the classroom, there was demihuman puppy in the classroom sitting at the teacher desk. He had two little grey dog ears on his head with grey hair and a short fluffy grey tail about half a foot long. He has sharp red eyes that pierced through you. With just wearing pants, leaving his doggy belly exposed, his half dog adorableness is multiplied tenfold! ¡°Hey you shouldn¡¯t be sitting at the teachers desk.¡± I stated. ¡°You¡¯re looking at em!¡± He stated ¡°I¡¯m Mafala your magic instructor. And, contrary to my appearances, I¡¯m actually over 100 years old.¡± Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. ¡°What! You don¡¯t look a day over three¡± I shouted. ¡°Flattery doesn¡¯t work on me¡± He stated. ¡°He¡¯s not wrong, you look like a little kid like us.¡± Grim retorted. ¡°Seriously no-one ever thinks of me as an adult!¡± He whined. ¡°It¡¯s ok Mr. Mafala sempai!¡± I said kindly. I used every kind of formal word I knew. ¡°Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!¡± He said grabbing me in a hug. Then he took a deep breath. ¡°Ok students, what are your names?¡± ¡°I¡¯m George¡± I say. ¡°Grim¡± Grim says. ¡°Ok ready for magic lessons!¡± Mafala said excitedly. ¡°Yeah!¡± I shouted. ¡°Ok, first things first, you need to find your mana, now with a normal teacher, this will take some time, but I am different. I discovered a way to help students find their mana in a matter of seconds. Just to explain, I¡¯m going to take my mana and push it into your mana, and move it around your body, this should allow you to find your mana.¡± ¡°Ok Mr. Mafala sempai!¡± I walked over to Mafala, turned around, and closed my eyes. He put his small hands on my back and I felt something flow through my body. ¡°To tell if you found your mana, try and push some mana through your hand and make a ball.¡± Mafala says quietly. I took the feeling and tried to use my hands to push the stuff to my hand, but it didn¡¯t work. ¡°George, just imagine the mana moving and it will happen¡± Grim said helpfully. ¡°Ok¡± I said. ¡®Easier said than done though¡¯ i thought to myself. I tried doing what Grim said. Aww, nothing¡¯s happening. Wait no a little bit of mana started to flow to my hand. I¡¯ve got to try harder. After what felt like an eternity, I finally had enough mana for me to think i will be able to release it easily. I tried making a tiny ball, but the mana disappeared the moment it left my body. So I¡¯m trying a larger ball. I released all of the mana at once and tried to release mana from my fingers to make a mana net. I opened my eyes it worked the blue ball stayed in my hand. I¡¯m not sure what surprised me more. That I managed to do it or the expression Mafala had. His mouth was wide open. ¡°George, how did you expel so much mana at once and keep it from shooting.¡± He asked loudly. ¡°I just willed the mana to my hand, I tried to make a smaller one, but I couldn¡¯t control it and it just dispersed into the air. So I spent time gathering my mana, and before I released it, i released mana from my fingers to make a net to catch the mana I expelled.¡± I said nervously. ¡°Did I do something wrong?¡± ¡°No, no no!¡± Mafala shouted. ¡°I¡¯m just surprised how talented you are! To be able to release mana from your fingers takes lots of practice, and releasing mana from multiple places simultaneously takes even more. Then the fact that you were creative enough to realize all of this on your own. Finally your learning speed is astronomical, you made that ball of mana in only 10 minutes and with such a creative means without any advanced knowledge on magic and mana control!¡± ¡°Yipee!¡± I shouted and started running around. ¡°George why are you running?¡± Mafala asks ¡°I¡¯ve never been good at anything before so thank you so much.¡± I gave Mafala a big hug. ¡°Ok your welcome. Grim would you like to try and¡­.WHAT!¡± Grim had in his hands a mana ball identical to mine. ¡°I learned to do it while you were helping George.¡± ¡°What are you two!¡± Malfala asks ¡°And you found your mana all on your own!¡± ¡°Yeah, it was easy, when I first listened to music I felt a warm sensation through my body and I played around with it a bit in secret.¡± ¡°You two are monsters!¡± Mafala says. ¡°Well you two finished everything I had planned for this week, I was going to teach you about creativity and its uses in magic, but you two I don¡¯t think need it.¡± ____________________________ Going on a school trip tomorrow and have three tests tomorrow, so sorry if I don''t post chapters this weekend.

Report any sightings.So, if anyone has any Ideas about the story/plot post them here! Chapter 6: Deaths Forgetfulness Time-skip 1 month We have been training like the first day for the entire month. I¡¯ve learned a bit more about my teachers this month. Miss Honey turns out to be incredibly nice, although a boring person, but from then on, I was very participative in class, asking questions every so often, she has even joined us for lunch every now and then. Clay ended up being fine, he didn¡¯t even wake up the next day, but after that, he woke up fine he wanted to sleep longer, but he wasn¡¯t allowed to. Yesterday Clay managed to finish the run for the entire hour without fainting, that happened a minute after. Coach noticed that Grim and I were starting to find the run easy so he decided to give us rings that increased our gravity by 1%. He says that we can increase the amount with a basic spell. I asked Mafala to teach me how to release my mana as an attack, he told me that I needed to create something like a mana explosion to propel the mana. I had no idea how to do that so I went to Grim. Grim told me to think of it like an accelerator, to take the mana and turn it into a small ball then to take some more mana to create spinning circles inside my body to launch the mana. ¡°Like Hot Wheels¡± I asked.¡°Exactly¡± he said. I tried it with my finger and the mana shot out like a bullet. and I heard a ding.
You have made a new skill: Mana Bullet Taking a small amount of mana and launching it at high speeds allows for immense damage. By compressing the mana, the bullets can deal more damage. 1-10 mana
¡°I can make skills!¡± I shouted. ¡°Yeah¡± Says Grim ¡°I didn¡¯t want you to forget about any skills you have and I know you like videogames, so I chose a world where skills are also recorded by the gods of the world. I basically chose the world most like a videogame for you.¡± After this incident, I started practicing magic in my free time, just controlling it in my body, or just around the body, but I never really expelled that much mana. Today was a special day. We get to chose our first weapons! ¡°Ok George, Grim, Clay, This is the armory. Today you get to chose your first weapon. I recommend the one handed sword, it is a great weapon for beginners. Now go and find your weapon.¡± After a LOT of consideration I chose the weapon Coach Green suggested. Clay chose a giant war hammer, which was basically a giant slab of metal. Grim chose a double bladed scythe, that apparently can be split into two scythes. When we came out Green looked at each of us and said. ¡°George, good choice, a one handed sword will suit your advanced magic skills so you can still cast magic. Clay, a war hammer with your strength this is a great choice. Grim¡­.¡± He paused for a while. ¡°Do you know what that weapon is?¡± He asked Stolen novel; please report. ¡°Yes, a double bladed scythe, commonly associated with the grim reaper. This means that it must be a powerful weapon because why else would the grim reaper use it. Although it is hard to use, this weapon allows for variable fighting styles and surprise attacks.¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­. Correct. I see you put a lot of thought into your weapon. Ok, now, I will grab each of the book of how to not hurt yourself with your weapon read the book, then you should generate the mastery skill for your weapon.¡± I got my book, it seemed like a nice afternoon read for me. Clay¡¯s seemed like it was maybe 10 pages. Grim¡¯s was¡­¡­¡­¡­. Several books the size of dictionaries! His face dropped. ¡°Sir, can I please just spar against you to learn the skill.¡± Grim asked hopefully. ¡°Sure, but you MUST use a wooden weapon. Don¡¯t want you to hurt yourself¡± ¡°Ok sir.¡± Grim replied They went to the training field and got their weapons. Coach did a fancy display with the type of sword he gave me. Grim tried to do the same first spinning it in his hands like a windmill, then starting to move it around his body and¡­. he hit his head. Coach started cracking up. ¡°Grim, I thought that you may have been some kind of prodigy with that weapon, but you¡¯re a total ameature!¡± He said between his laughs. ¡°Are you going to read the book now or do I have to pulverise you first.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll read the book¡± Grim said dejectedly going to pick up his books. I walked over to Grim and whispered. ¡°You seemed so confident that you knew how to use it, was that a bluff?¡± ¡°I know how to use it, kind of, I just sealed all of my knowledge of magic and weapons, so we could be on the same playing field in this world.¡± He said out loud. Then remembering something, he went into a whisper.¡°Also on the note of my sealed abilities, you remember my god mode right, well I can¡¯t go into that at will. I can only get like that if you get into danger by accident. If you go charging against a dragon, I can¡¯t do anything. But if you were kidnapped or someone attempts to assassinate you, I can kill them immediately.¡± Grim gave me a shocking truth, I can¡¯t rely on him to lead me through every battle, I really need to train if I want to do something amazing. I went back to reading my manual with newfound conviction! ________________________________ I''m back from my trip. Also, I may have written this during english. Chapter 7: Deaths Secret It has been a week since I started learning how to use my sword. The sword I used was about two feet in length, with a black blade. It really reminds me of Sword Art Online, Kirito¡¯s Elucidator, just smaller. I¡¯ve told you what I looked like right? SERIOUSLY I DIDN¡¯T! Opps¡­¡­¡­¡­. Well I look fairly similar to a human. My arms from my elbow down, have dragon scales which are crimson, and my fingers all have retractable claws. My legs from the knee down also have scales, but these are navy blue. My hair is bright red and I fold it up and to the right. By now I think I¡¯m about 3 feet tall. Grim looks about the same, but switch the color of the arms and legs and give him blue hair instead. Ok, so can I get back to my cool weapon! I¡¯ve gotten pretty good at using my sword! In fact I¡¯ve already reached beginner level two in One Handed Sword Mastery.
One Handed Sword Mastery lv 2: 9% How well you know how to use a sword.
I¡¯ve also worked on Mana Bullet a LOT! Mostly because it seems like it will be very fun to play with...... and versatile.
Mana Bullet lv 3: 28% Taking a small amount of mana and launching it at high speeds allows for immense damage. By compressing the mana, the bullets can deal more damage. 1-30 mana
Grim and Clay are being mean and are not showing me their stats or skills. But I came a long way since I came to this world. [tr][tr]

Today was the day I am finally going to get to spar with someone! I asked coach if I could go against Clay. I decided to wake up early today. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. I hop out of bed at 7 am ish and walk to me and Grims bathroom. Our room is pretty nice. If you came in through the door there were two beds, one one the left, the other the right, and a window in the middle. We have a bathroom to the right of the door before you get to the bed area. I think I¡¯m going to take a long shower today. I want to have my muscles relaxed so I don¡¯t pull a muscle during the spar. When I got out of the shower Grim was awake. He went into the shower while I got dressed. I put on an orange shirt, which is the standard color for Pre-Schoolers in this school to wear, and a pair of loose fitting brown pants. I don¡¯t wear shoes because I don¡¯t need to, Dragon feet, remember. Also they don¡¯t make any shoes that size. Grim got out of the bathroom and put on the same thing. ¡°Yay uniforms¡± I thought sarcastically. ¡°Ready to go.¡± I ask excitedly, after all I have yet to test my skills against anyone. We walk outside our dorm building towards the training field. I lie down on the grass and fall asleep waiting for Clay and Coach Green to show up. Coach shows up half an hour later, but Clay didn¡¯t show up, an hour passed then another. Coach went with campus security to go look for him. Grim and I started to get worried. I nervously said to Grim ¡°what if something happened to Clay.¡± ¡°Yeah, something may have happened, I have no idea what though.¡± Grim replied. ¡°Do you have any idea how we can find him?¡± I ask. ¡°Yeah, we smell.¡± He replied confusing me. ¡°Smell?¡± I ask. ¡°Yeah, draconians have great noses remember.¡± He said obviously making me feel bad about forgetting. ¡°Ok, can you track him then.¡± I ask. ¡°Yeah, give me a minute to find his scent¡± He said while sniffing the air. ¡°Found him¡± he says. ¡°Lets go!¡± I shout. We went off running. We jumped over the 5 foot fence, surrounding our Pre-School area and entered the forest. When we got to the forest we jumped up to the trees and started hopping from tree to tree to avoid the beasts down below. We had been moving for a while, at least half an hour. ¡°We¡¯re close¡± Grim says stopping on the tree right before a clearing. The clearing was about 100 meters in diameter. Inside the clearing there are 4 burly looking men in brown clothes. the men were in a group talking. Next to them was a large metal cube. ¡°Clay¡¯s probably in the cube, that way he can''t regain energy.¡± I nodded. ¡°We go in gunz ablazin¡± I ask. Grim smiles and nods. I take my hand and make a finger pistol to shoot. I focused 30 mana to my hand to shoot. I aimed at the smallest of the men. I took a deep breath and fired. The man fell over with a hole in his arm. We dashed to the kidnappers. I punched the man on the right side and Grim hit the guy on the left. ¡°Are you two with the menace!¡± The last man said getting into a battle position. ¡°What menace¡± I ask. ¡°All I see is someone kidnapping a child.¡± ¡°You think I¡¯m kidnapping, no kid, I¡¯m a bounty hunter, and this child has a 100 million gold bounty, one of the highest!¡± He said. ¡°You¡¯re lying!¡± I shouted. ¡°Clay is a kind person, he wouldn¡¯t hurt a fly!¡± ¡°Yeah, well look at this!¡± The man said as he reached around his back he pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Grim. Grim looked at the paper, looked at me, then looked back at the paper. ¡°George.¡± he said nervously ¡°Look at this.¡± And he showed me the paper. Right there in the center was a picture of Clay. There was the bounty notice, and his crime. ¡°This proves nothing! And how could clay destroy an entire village!¡± I shouted ¡°When that happened he was only a week old!¡± ¡°Ask him yourself¡± The man says walking to the Cube a opening a hatch. I see Clay¡¯s scarred face. ¡°Clay, is this true.¡± I ask nervously. ¡°Yes¡± he says after some time. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± He doesn¡¯t look at me as he says this and I turn away. Chapter 8: Deaths Truth ¡°It¡¯s not his fault you know¡± The bounty said to me. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked. ¡°I thought you said he was a meice!¡± ¡°Yes he is, but he also is not.¡± The man stated. ¡°Ok, I¡¯m getting lost here.¡± I responded ¡°Can you please explain.¡± ¡°The bounty isn''t on Clay, it¡¯s the corrupted spirit inside of him. I¡¯ll let Clay explain.¡± ¡°Ok, George, I didn¡¯t do anything, it was the spirit of the volcano near my village that did it, kind of¡­. When I was born, Groudon had already been corrupted by darkness. My father, the chief of my village decided the only way to stop Groudon from destroying the town was to seal it inside of someone. Me. I was the only person in the village who was pure enough in mind and body and strong enough to contain him. But everything went to hell after a week of Groudon being sealed. He awakened and was angry being sealed inside of someone, and because I was too young to think, Groudon was able to take control over my body and he went on a rampage. He used his knowledge of earth magic to shake the entire village collapsing it into a ravine. He then flooded the ravine with lava and killed the entire village. When I was finally old enough to understand what had happened, I was already being hunted by bounty hunters. As time went on and I escaped kidnapping attempts, my bounty continued to rise to what it is now.¡± ¡°Forgive him laddy, it¡¯s not his fault. I will complete the ritual to extract the demon from his belly and you can have the child back. Sound fair¡± ¡°Sure, as long as Clay can come back with us¡± ¡°Ay laddy that he will. I¡¯ll get the ritual started, it will take a while since you knocked out my team.¡± Grim leaned closer to me as the man looked away beginning the ritual. He whispered. ¡°George, the ritual will kill Clay¡± ¡°But if he doesn¡¯t do the ritual the demon will still be in Clay.¡± I replied. ¡°I can figure out a way to purify the Spirit inside of Clay.¡± He replied. ¡°And Clay will stay safe then.¡± ¡°Yeah, now lets stop the ritual.¡± He replied If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. ¡°Hey Mr.¡± I said as cutely as possible. ¡°Could you show me how to do the ritual?¡± ¡°Sure laddy, I love teaching little kids, I have a little girl at home. I still remember her first bounty, it was a demon rabbit that stole her friends stuffed animal. Ahh good times. Anyway come over here lad.¡± I walked over to the man excitedly. Before he could start explaining I punched him in the gut as hard as I could. But he only slid back five feet. ¡°You think I would fall for that laddy. I¡¯m no newbie to the bounty hunting game.¡± He readied himself grabbing his twin axes from his back. ¡°I won¡¯t let you hurt Clay! Grim get Clay out of the cage, I¡¯ll take care of the Irishman!¡± I took my hand and readied my finger for a mana bullet. I fired three full sized shots as fast as possible. The man got knocked back even farther. ¡°Lad you just made a big mistake!¡± He exclaimed running towards me with axes raised. He swung them down as hard as he probably could. I spread my feet and grabbed the hilts of the axes. He was strong definitely, but I was stronger. ¡°Wow, a fully grown man losing a battle of strength to a little kid.¡± ¡°You just made a big mistake.¡± He let off of his axe attack and threw his axe¡¯s away. ¡°Ultimate Mega Mana Fist Of DOOM!¡± He yelled at the top of his lungs running towards me fist outstretched. I stepped to the side and tripped him. ¡°Are you really a bounty hunter?¡± I asked to the man trying to get up. ¡°Yes, I am Zongeh, the greatest bounty hunter in the world!¡± He shouted. ¡°Yeah go to sleep Zombie-sama¡± Grim said stepping on his face with Clay following behind. ¡°Clay¡± I said ¡°We will find a way to purify the Spirit ,erm, Demon, erm thing inside of you.¡± ¡°Thanks George, Grim, you two really are my best friends!¡± _____________________________ Sorry for the delay of a week, I was sick, then personal stuff, then school stuff, then my brother came back from college....... Yeah, I was busy. Hope you liked the Toriko reference. Poll/Spoilers(not really) Ok, so I recently have been kind of busy, and am thinking of adding a bit of smut later on, I''m wondering wether or not people want the characters included in the smut to be older than Grim and George, or the same age and just include a timeskip? Ps, I''ve already decided the characters, just wanting to know where people stand.
