《Rebirth: New World》 Ch 1. The Ultimate fight and the void On that day, my entire being changed. I shouldn''t start here, I should start from the beginning. I was born in a world in which people were born with special abilities. No magic, no mana, just a phenomenon in which people were able to do amazing things. Some could make their body as hard as diamond, others could control fire, some could spew poison from their mouths. Although I say some, in reality everyone had a different ability. You may be wondering my ability. I had the total unimpressive ability to control my bones. It sounds great, but i was born with a physically weak body, so it was pointless for me. Even with my extremely high intelligence, if your body is weak their is not that many choices you can make. I was 19 years old when "That Event" happened.Today was the day I was going to see the movie "Blowing Ice" by myself. I was maybe 15 feet in front of the movie theater when it blew up. Yeah, you heard me right. Ka-Boom!! Even from the distance I was at I was still knocked backwards. I was dazed and nearly unconscious. With my weak body, this was pure hell. I looked around to see two men fighting each other in the air. The weird thing was, one of them had fire on his fingertips and he had an ice spike in the air above him!! "A-amazing!!" I thought. "He has two unique traits!" But then, the other man had about six balls of earth and what looked to be a ball of fire surrounding them! Two people with two unique traits! This is amazing. They then began to chuck them at each other. But then out of nowhere lighting came down and struck fire and water guy! I knew it was too coincidental to be true, so my head tried to wrap around one thought. "That man has... three unique traits!? Impossible!" I told myself. But the evidence was right in front of me. Just as i was thinking fire and water guy was going to be severely out matched, a massive golem that looked to be at least 8 meters tall appeared behind him. It was made of dirt, mud, cars and the broken surrounding buildings. It punched the fire and earth guy with speed that belied its size, and he went flying. But then the fire and earth guy came back to the same spot with incredible speed.! Even super speeders wouldn''t come back that fast. I suddenly felt a massive presence ascend around me. I noticed that the two men were glowing brighter and with the looks of it more powerful. "How are they doing this!! Where can I get power like this?" I thought to myself. The two men charged at each other and smashed head on. Instantly cracks appeared around them. "Oh my god" I thought. "What''s happening?" The cracks shattered to reveal a completely black hole that seemed to suck even light itself into it. The men were fighting again, but I scarcely used the word men on them. They seemed to be more like gods. Just in case I made my bones as durable as possible. It would make me extremely slow but extremely tough. Actually, considering how weak my body was I wasn''t even sure I could move. Not that I would want to. This fight was too amazing to miss. The men where moving so fast that my eyes couldn''t even follow and with the cracks appeared everywhere. Suddenly they appeared three feet in front of me. I was too shocked to even think about escape. It seemed like the second they appeared in front of me they disappeared, leaving only a crack that sucked everything inside of it. Instantly I felt myself being pulled into it. I tried to grab onto something but there was nothing around me. I tried to burn one last image of light into my eyes before I was sucked into the crack. I stared at the sun, attempting to imprint it into my mind before I felt myself get sucked into the crack. The first thing I noticed was the pitch black solid ground beneath me. I looked around but I could see nothing. No matter how hard I peered nothing was revealed to me. The second thing I noticed is that I could breathe without breathing. More like I could hold my breath for 10 minuets without inhaling. Also, I noticed that I didn''t need to sleep and that my body wasn''t weak. I could make my bones hard as possible and still move at the same speed. I didn''t how long I was going to be in the darkness, so I decided to train. The reason I was weak in the past was due to the fact that when my adrenaline started pumping, my heart was so weak that it couldn''t handle it. But here, no matter how hard I ran or jumped or did anything that felt like it would strain my body, nothing happened. At first i was worried that I was dead but a quick check of my pulse bellied that thought. I had always been a martial arts fan and my mother was a fanatic about them so she had shown me all of her skills, then gave me books about the martial arts she wasn''t strong enough to do. With my Edietic memory I could perfectly remember them. So i trained in all martial arts I could remember, perfecting them and sometimes completely changing them. No matter how hard I trained, I never felt any stress. I don''t know how long I was in that darkness before I began to see thing. Years, centuries, seconds and minuets it all felt the same to me. The things I saw, I can''t tell if they were real or not. Sometimes I would see a glimpse of red amongst the darkness, sometimes I would hear voices that seemed like they were right behind me. I felt images that weren''t mine appear in my brain. I finally recognized that I was going crazy. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Once I finished mastering martial arts, I decided to train with a sword. Since It still seemed like I had no chance of getting out of here, I had nothing better to do. During the time I was training, I had gained freakish control over my bones. Originally I was different from other people in the first place. while other people have 270 bones at birth then decrease to around 200 after reaching adulthood, I had 389 at birth and it only continued to grow. At 19 years old I had 720 bones in my body. Most of them had fused together but with my freakish control over my body I was able to separate and control them. I forced a rib cage bone out of my body into the shape of a sword and then began to train. I had no knowledge of sword training as my mother thought weapons were for weaklings, so I had to train from scratch. Almost every day hundreds of images flowed into my brain showing a world that was completely different than mine. Images of a world with magical beast''s such as dragons, unicorns, gods and goddesses. I learned of the power called "Mana" and the amazing things you could do with it. I assumed that the people who came into my world were originally from this world and had somehow transported themselves into my world. The whole time I received images like this they were in the viewpoint of a girl named Clarissa Monique Von Alvenstead. She was a massively powerful mage who was aligned with the power of darkness, yet used it for good deeds. She healed people with darkness, using it to stick her wounds. Eventually she gained so much power and respect that even the gods began to fear her. They came down to earth themselves and attempted to kill her. But Clarissa was far more powerful than they thought. Out of the ten that went down to earth to kill her, seven of them had their power absorbed and the only reason that they managed to kill her is due to the fact that she had gained so much power she couldn''t control it. This is as far as the memories had showed me, and after this they stopped coming completely, so after this I trained again. If I was any judge of time, It was about a 100 years later when I first heard the voice. "Can you hear me now?" I instantly turned around and on self reflex shot my fingertip bones out at the voice. "Haha, I will take that as a yes." the voice said. It was obvious that I had missed my shot, or that it hadn''t done any damage to it. I hadn''t talked in a while so it took me a couple of minuets to remember how to speak. "Who...are...you" I said in a voice that sounded alien to my ears. The voice laughed behind me again in a feminine voice. "I am being that gained far too much power and became something horrendous in the process." Gears turned in my head and before I could stop myself I said "Are you Clarissa Monique von Alvenstead?" The voice shuddered in an almost orgasmic like gasp. "It.. has been so long since I have heard that name be uttered." Instantly the darkness in front of me transformed. In front of me stood a being with only rags covering it''s body. A pair of glowing eyes appeared beneath the top of the rags. "What are you?" I asked. "I am an Embodiment and power of the girl named Clarissa Monique Von Alvenstead. I am what mortals call a.... Shade." Before I most likely would have been scared out of my wits, but after knowing that a whole nother world was out there, nothing really surprised me anymore. "Can you get me out of here?" I asked, hoping to finally leave this eternal void of darkness. "That I can... But you must accept a dark price in order to do so." "Well there isn''t that much worse than going insane with nothing to do except stare at darkness. I accept" "Oh mortal...there are things much worse than this. Are you sure you wish to accept without knowing the consequences?" "Fine. Enlighten me then." "If you so accept this price, you shall be reborn into the world the images have shown you. But it shall come at a price. You will become a wraith, a being of darkness. You shall be blind, as those who have seen the void shall never see again. I will send you in the body of whomever I choose. You will also gain my power, but will never be able to use the power of light.Most of your life, there is a high chance of being alone. Beings of light shall hate you and wish to kill you when they see you.If the truth of your nature is ever revealed, the gods themselves will send you into a place far, far worse than the void. Do you still wish to accept?" I thought about it for a minuet. Truthfully, life inside here wasn''t bad. Although it was extremely lonely, the fact that I could use my body without any problems was something that I had always desired. But still, I have always been the adventurous type. "My answer remains the same. I accept." I felt as if the dark being in front of me smiled. It came closer to me until it was in front of my face. I saw shadowy hands go to take down its hood, and in front of me was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I then felt a sharp pain by my heart. I looked down to see a hole running through my heart, with my blood spilling onto something that seemed to be a blade. "Good choice" it said. I then blacked out. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Congratulation''s My queen, It''s a boy!" Born again "That bitch tricked me!" I thought in my head. Once again I was in the darkness.Something was different this time though. I knew I was still in the void, but for some reason I felt... Unstable. Like I was going back and forth between two bodies. Suddenly I felt something grab me. I intended to grab it back but my body wouldn''t listen to me! I then felt a cool breeze of air and heard a voice say "Congratulations My lady, My king, it''s a boy!" I was then passed to another pair of hands and felt wet drops on my face. I tried opening my eyes but when I did I heard a loud gasp. "By the gods, He''s blind!" said a lovely female voice. This time even more wet tears fell on my face. I was then passed to a pair of rough hands. "Even if he''s blind, he''s still beautiful to me." said a man with a deep rough voice. I assumed this man was the king, and the lady that I was once again passed to was the queen. "Of course he is. But I want my baby boy to have a perfect life. Is it possible that the church could heal him?" "Come now my dear, we both know that only gods could heal a defficiency that someone was born with from birth." said the king. "Why isn''t he crying?" said the first voice, the one that handed me to the queen. "Is there something wrong with him, Charles?" the queen said in a frantic voice. "I don''t know, not all babies cry from birth" said the king named charles. "Pass him to his brother''s and sister''s my dear. Let them hold him" I was then passed to three pairs of hands, which were accompanied by "Ooohs" and "Aaaahs." "Oh Oliver your here! Here here, hold my kid. Look at him, isn''t he a beauty?" king Charles said. I was then passed to a soft pair of hands, a pair of hands so soft I thought it was a woman''s at first. I felt a weird sensation pour in my body. It felt weird, so with a thought I dispelled it. Apparently, I shouldn''t have done that. "This child just..." I heard the man named Oliver. Apparently so did my mother. "what? Is something wrong?" she said in a slightly scared voice, as if she didn''t want to know the answer, but at the same time did. I could tell the man hesitated before saying "No, nothing is wrong. He is a wonderful child, and is destined to be a great man!" Apparently this is exactly what my mother wanted to hear, as she started crying in happiness. The rest of the day was uneventful, except for a few parts. I felt like a five year olds new toy, as I was shown around like one. Also, it was more than a little embarrasing when a woman pulled down her blouse and put my mouth up to her chest. At first, I resisted since I didn''t know what it was, but a few touches with my hand quickly told me what it was. I was happy that I was blind. If I had an extremely hot mother, as a male I don''t know if I would be able to resist. Also, I feel like I should mention that this world used something called a ''Magical Translation Device''. Inside it, everyone could magically understand each other. They were currently working on a portable one, but it was still in its testing stages. I leaned that my familys name was Alvenstead. Yeah, the very same Alvenstead. My mother was Vanessa Von Alvenstead, while my father was Chalres Von Alvenstead. My name was Aizen Von Alvenstead. I learned that my family were Mid-High ranked nobles. After Clarissa had killed seven gods, the Alvenstead clan was basically decimated and hammered by kings and queens, labeled as traitors to the gods. Only by the mercy of the Emperor were they allowed to live. Since then, the generations of Alvensteads have worked tremendously hard to increase the ranking of their clan. After a full day of hard work, I was tired. Come night time I was passed out the second I layed down. But what greeted me was something, or should I say someone that I didn''t wish to see again. "Hello there, Aizen." said the embodiment of Clarissa Monique Von Alvenstead. "Why am I back here" I said, not bothering with pleasantries. "I told you my dear, You are a wraith. Your real body is inside the void, forever lost in the darkness. But while the void is your cage, it is also your source of power." she said. "So that''s all being a wraith is?" I asked, confused. "No. Your real body is now ethreal. The only attacks that can hurt you are mental attacks, but attacking someone in their mind is extremely hard to do. Not too many can do it. You are Virtually Un-killable" "Virtually?" I asked. "Right. Magic will hurt you, but no matter how much is thrown at you it won''t kill you. But it is possible to be bound and drugged. Being drugged significantly lowers your mental abilities. Also, with training it is possible to make your real body etheral, though not indefinitely." "That''s nice and all, but if I''m so powerful why haven''t my parents detected it? Most of the time, having the power of darkness isn''t usually a good thing." I say. "Simple. The void can never be found. The fact that you made it here through a crack in space is almost unbeliavable itself. Since you have no physical body, you have no physical mana core." I was going to ask more when I head a door open. Instantly I was awake, whisked back into my body. I couldn''t see, but by the hands that touched me I could tell it was oliver. "Now demon, come out of my nephew''s body or I will kill you." Once again I felt that same sensation, only this time a little stronger. I did the same thing I did before and simply pushed it out. "Fine then. If physical attacks won''t draw you out, let''s try mental attacks." I was laid back down on the bed one of his fingers went to my forehead. Instantly I was brought back into the void, only this time with a companion. Now that I could see him, Oliver looked to be a man in his early twenties. He had short black hair with a seemingly weak body. He was about 5''10 with a handsome face. "How did you do that?" I asked him. He whirled around too fast, and nearly fell down. "How...Why... Why is such a powerful demon inside my nephew!" oliver nearly shouted. "I''m not a demon" I said. "Lies" he shot back "If I was a demon, why haven''t I killed you yet?" I shot back. "Thats... fine. Let''s pretend for one second that you aren''t a demon. what are you then?" "A wraith" I said simply. "Lies!! Wraiths cannot become this powerful. No, I doubt any beings other than gods can become this powerful! What are you!" "I just told you, a wraith." "Then why are you in my nephews body." he asked in a slightly scared voice. "Before I answer that, I should tell you who and What I am, and my story." So I talked. I told him my story of being from another world, that I was sucked into this place, how I trained for an unknown amount of time, and finally my rebirth. I didn''t tell him about Clarissa. I wasn''t sure I could trust him yet. "That story is.." I couldn''t even begin to guess what he was going through. I got in front of him and went Dogeza. "Please. I no longer wish to be stuck in this void. Even though I am blind in the real world, I can still feel things and do things that I cant while I am here. Please let my stay here!" Although I was certain I could kill Olvier, It would do me no good. People would get suspicious about me, and the chance that my cover would be blown is extremely high. I knew that if I could convince him to join my side, I could gain a valuable friend. "What is your goal" he suddenly asked. "Goal?" I said, confused. "Right. When you get your body to adulthood, what do you plan on doing?" "I..I''m not completely sure. I was born with an extremely weak body back on my planet, so I couldn''t do many things. Now that I have a body that can support me, I mostly plan to explore the world. I mean come on, you guys have dragons!" I said in an excited voice. I then went on and on about the cool races I had read about in books my planet. To my surprise, he listened faithfully. When I ran out of things to say, he finally said "Alright. I have judged that you mean no harm to my brother and his wife. I will allow you to stay, on the condition that you tell me more about your home planet." I instantly agreed. I was happy that I got to make a new friend and was allowed to stay. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. 7 years later. "Young master Aizen, dinner is ready" said a maid who was standing outside my door. "Just a Minuete" I said. I was currently practicing to control my mana. After I had turned five, I made Oliver teach my how to control mana. Orginally I had wanted Clarissa to teach me magic, But since the first night I entered the void I hadn''t seen her again. At first he disagreed, saying that I had no capacity for mana. Once I told him that my Mana Core wasnt in this body but in my other one, he finally agreed. I felt the pitch black mana filling my body with strength as I moved it around. I then placed it by my ears and did the sense strengthening technique. Since I was blind, my ears were already extremely perceptive. Added with sense strengthening, I could hear the heartbeat of a mouse. I also learned that since my real body was in the void, this current body had the same bone controlling ability. This made me extremely happy, as I felt that I had brought a piece of home with me. When I infused my bones with mana, I am certain that If a semi truck were to hit one of my bones head on, the truck would take more damage than my bones. I got up and walked to the door. Since I was a child I had memorized the layout of the castle and the forest surrounding it. I had learned a little trick since being blind. I would snap my fingers and the sound would bounce everywhere, allowing me to make a near perfect picture in my brain. For most people it would be considered nearly impossible, but with my Eidetic memory it was pretty easy. I walked downstairs to go to the family table. I could smell the scent of the rich assortment of food that wafted in the air. I snapped my fingers to tell where my family was sitting. My mother and father were sitting at the head of the table, with my older brother and two sisters sitting to the left of them. I learned that my First sister and the oldest, Susan, was 13 years old and currently going to the best magic institute in the world, Vainst academy. She was a smart girl with black hair and eyes, and a beautiful face that would make even the gods blush. At least, this is what my mother told me. No doubt some exaggeration there. Second sister, who was 12 years old, had short blond hair with a perfect body with blue eyes that would make the ocean jealous. My mother, once again. She was named Lana, and was also in the Vainst academy. My first sister had an Affinity towards fire magic, while my second water magic. My older brother, who was 14, had strong features and an even stronger body. He had a high affinity towards light magic and was training to be a paladin. He had green eyes and short brown hair. His name was Claude. Both my sisters were on break from the academy and decided to visit home. Then there is me. Pure white, shoulder length hair with red eyes and pale skin. Yep, you guessed it. I''m albino. Though not a full albino, since my skin is a little darker than that. My mother said that I had feminene feautures that would make even the most beautiful of elves blush. Since the day I could talk full sentences I had been training my body and my magic. After reading a ton of fantasy books, I knew this was the best thing I could do right now. I could now control my mana pretty well, since I had a much faster head start than most people. But I didn''t have any magic spells and had no idea how to use magic other than by strengthening. I had also figured out how to make my body ethereal, although it was only certain parts. I had actually learned as an accident. I was playing around in living room one night when I bumped into a dresser and made a vase fall. I could tell it was going to land on my head and fear took me into a higher mode of thinking. I instantly felt as if my head was completely empty. I could still think, however, it felt as if nothing was there. It only happened for about five seconds, but it still happened. My mother had freaked out and had checked me over about 15 times, even with me complaining to her saying I was fine. I sat down on the right side of the table and asked a servant to make me a plate. It was fun being a noble. Everything I wanted was in my hands with a mere order. Still, I was always nice to the servants. The concept of slavery thoroughly disguisted me and I planned the way of thinking in this world. The table was quiet, so I decided to ask a question I already knew an answer to. "Mom, can I go out into the village today?" "No sweetie, you know why you can''t." I did. Since I was born I''ve had 8 assassination attempts on me. Each of them were repelled, but since then my parents have been keeping me locked in the castle. "But mom! I''m sick of being locked in here all day!" I whined. Truthfully, I didn''t mind. I knew in the future they would have to let me out, since they couldn''t keep me locked in here forever. But I knew my oveprotective mom would try everything and anything to keep me locked in here. "Have Claude accompany me then!" I said, looking towards my brother. "I wouldn''t Mi-- actually I''m quite busy today." His voice went from normal to frantic, and I knew my mom had given him her evil glare. My dad sometimes talked about the scariness of it, saying I was lucky to be blind. "Then assign me some bodyguards!" I said, slamming my fist on the table. I truly was starting to get angry. Although I said I was fine about waiting, after sitting and training for centuries in the void it was frustrating not being able be outside. "Watch your tone young man" My mother said. My mother could truly be scary when she wants to, but I didn''t back down. We were having a glaring contest when my father said "Aizen, we have some good news for you. Go ahead dear, tell him what it is." My mothers tone changed instantly. "Oh yes, we have enrolled you into Vainst academy. In three year, you will go and take the entrance exam. If you manage to graduate from this school, you will have free access to the outside." Needless to say, I was extremely happy. My sisters, on the other hand, weren''t to happy. "What! You made us wait until we were 11 to enroll!" "Yes, but you guys weren''t blind. Plus, Aizen will mostly be in the martial arts section of the institute, so you won''t even see him." This time the roles were reversed, with my shouts of "What!" and my sister''s looking happy. "Not fair! I have an affinity towards magic to!" I shouted. Oops. Too late now. "Since when!" My whole family shouted. I waved the servants away and then said in a low voice "Uncle Oliver told me I had an affinity towards darkness magic." This shocked my family. The last descendant of the Alvenstead clan to have darkness magic was Clarissa, and we all know what she was capable of. I learned that event happened 500 years ago. "How high is your affinity?" my mother asked "I don''t know. It shouldn''t be that high. I''m not very good with magic" I lied. "But I would still like to be able to do body enhancing. I think that it would help me greatly." "No need to worry there, we were planning on asking Oliver to help you on your magic training. But now, definitely can''t put you into Vainst magic academy section." This time, the emotions stayed the same. "Why not?" I asked pouting. "Because the world still hasn''t gotten over what clarissa did. If it were to be revealed that darkness has surfaced in the Alvenstead clan once again.." I instantly understood their reasoning. Still, it didn''t make it any less easier. I would just have to make oliver teach me. I learned Uncle Oliver was a pope-in-training of the holy church. The reason that he was so surprised that I resisted his magic was because he was considered extremely powerful amongst light affinity mages. I would just have to have him teach me magic then. vvvvvvvvvvv Are you guys liking my story so far? I am!! :D I plan to continue this for a while. I''m trying to make Aizen overpowered while at the same time keeping him in Human limits. For now :) Also, do you like the bone controlling ability? Kimimaro anyone :D! Traveling and trouble It has been two years and 364 days since my mother told me that I was going to the Vainst institute. In that time, my body has gotten alot stronger. I was about 5''6 right now, so I was a decent height for my age. I had gotten better control over my mana, yet I still had learned no spells. I learned the language of Braille, which is basically reading for the blind. I had learned something extremely painful over my course of training. My body, since I had no mana core, used my brain as a medium to send mana into it. I tried using mana like you see in manga, and gathered as much of it as I could. I ended up with a fever that left me in a near comatose state for about a month. I learned a valuable lesson, that is I may have a near limitless Mana core, but since I am using my brain as a medium, no massive one shot spells. Body strengthening is the most I can do right now. I was currently packing everything I needed for my trip. I had four ten pound ankle weights on, two on each of my legs. Ever since I got a body that can handle normal life, I have been exerting myself in any way possible. Since I had never felt the energy rush adrenaline can bring a man due to my weak body, I have been training like crazy to get that feeling. Unfortunately, there is only so much energy rush training can bring someone. I am currently stuck on a big problem. If I am taken to a martial arts training academy, how much power should I use? I trained for centuries in martial arts in the void. I am positive that in technique nobody could match me in this world. But in strength, due to my body I would most likely get my ass kicked. I decided that I would deal with the situation when it comes up. Once I finish packing I go to sleep. When I woke up, the castle was busy with movement. ¡°Young master Aizen, Good luck at the Vainst Institute!¡± A maid named Helen said. ¡°Thank you, Helen.¡± I said in a suave voice. My mother said that I was getting to be extremely beautiful. Apparently it was true, as I heard Helen¡¯s voice start to get a little heavy. During the two years I had been waiting I learned that Mana could not only enhance my ears, but also my other senses as well. I could enhance my taste buds, my sense of touch and even my sense of smell. I used this in full effect. At first I had considered keeping these on at all times, but after hearing in full detail-and smell, the sound and scent of your parents having sex is nearly impossible to get out of your brain. I walked into the dining room to see my parents and my bodyguard Clayde standing their. I hid around the corner, hoping to hear their conversation. Even without pouring magic into my ears, my ears could hear extremely well. ¡°Remember Clayde. You must keep him safe at all costs no matter the price!¡± my mother said in a stern voice. ¡°I will, my lady.¡± Clayde had been with us for four years and is a pretty decent swordsman, if I was any judge. With my mother''s insistence, he has been teaching me martial arts. While he was no match for me, I never won a fight. Every single fight was valuable experience. I had to learn about how to fight without seeing my opponent. At first I wanted to use Mana to enhance my hearing, but Oliver strictly told me not to. ¡°If you rely on mana in everyone of your fights, there will come a day when you can¡¯t use it. What will you do then?¡± He made a sound argument. Since then I have practiced fighting without magic every day. Even when I don¡¯t fight, I constantly strain my ears as to increase my hearing. I have learned to ¡°Hear the wind¡± when fighting. What I mean is that when a person swings a sword, their blade brings wind resistance. I strain my ears in order to hear that path of resistance. It is a hard path to follow, but with it I am sure that I can become stronger. I can tell that my parents do not think I can pass the academy. Who can blame them? Being blind, without a doubt, is a massive disability. I am guessing that they only intend to show me how foolish it is to continue training and have me take over as the next heir. The current heir is my brother, Claude. He adamantly refuses to be the heir, and has tried multiple times to convince me to become the heir. I replied with one simple sentence. ¡°I am blind.¡± It was finally time for me to go. My suitcase was pack full of weights and clothes. Other than that, their wasn¡¯t much that I needed. My mother gave me a constraining hug. ¡°Remember, if you ever wish to come home, just let me know. I will come get it immediately.¡± ¡°Okay mom, geez. Not in front of the servants¡± I whined. This made most of them laugh. It was my dad¡¯s turn to wish me off. I heard the swoosh of air as he threw out his forearm. I snapped my fingers to make sure, then clasped his hand.My ability to detect sounds with snapping my fingers has greatly increased. ¡°Stay strong son. No matter your decision to stay or leave, I will always be proud of you.¡± ¡°Thanks dad¡± I said. I hopped into the carriage and my mother told the driver to leave. I waved goodbye as they shouted to me. Clayde was accompanying me outside the carriage. He had four soldiers with him that surrounded the carriage. While i was inside the carriage I closed the small blinds and began to meditate. About a year back to my surprise, I was doing some training with bone control and noticed that my bones were turning black, most likely do to the magic I was pumping them with. The bones were extremely strong, and I don¡¯t know of anything that could break them. This was also a problem. If a person were to strike my arm, there is no way that their sword would go farther than my bone. ¡°Deal with it when it happens¡± I told myself. It would take us about a month to get to the Vainst Institute. During that time I knew we would have to make a couple of pit stops, so I was extremely happy that I would be able to explore. It took us six more hours until we decided to make a pit stop. We passed three villages along the way and stopped at the fourth. The second I got outside I grabbed the stick Clayde handed me. My mother made me this stick to show that I was disabled. It was a pure black stick that seemed pretty tough. I snapped my fingers, listening to the way the sound bounced off the walls and made a mental map in my head of where everything is. ¡°Eidetic memory is really helpful¡± I told myself. Clayde guided me to the Inn we were staying at. When I entered the room, an assortment of smells and sounds hit me like a cannonball. I took a gasp and instantly went back outside. ¡°Young master?¡± Clayde asked questioningly. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. ¡°Sorry. First time I have ever been to a place with that many sounds and smells.¡± I said ¡°I understand. If you want my advice, I would plug either your nose or your ears until you get used to one, then switch, then use them both at the same time.¡± ¡°Thank you for the advice Clayde, but I think I will be fine.¡± Walking in again, the senses hit me hard, but not as hard as the first time. ¡°The best room for the young master¡± I heard Clayde say. The currency for this world, which name is Mordal, is the same as common manga. 100 bronze is one silver, and goes up until platinum. ¡°Of course, that will be 4 silvers.¡± After haggling it down to one silver, Clayde guided me upstairs. The whole time they were talking. I was snapping my fingers, getting a mental image of the building. I had learned that with a small amount of mana, it is possible to direct the direction you want to sound to travel in. I already knew the layout of the upstairs. When Clayde brought me to my room, I asked him if he could bring me some food. ¡°Of course, young master. It will be just a moment. I will ask some servants to bring you some food.¡± ¡°Thank you, Clayde.¡± vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Clayde¡¯s Pov After telling the young master I would get him some food, I went downstairs and told some servants to bring him food. The kid was paying for it after all, so i told them to bring him a lot. That kid seemed to have no end to his stomach. After doing this, I told my men not to get too drunk, then left to get drunk myself. The young master¡¯s mother and father told us to use their money when buying rooms, so we did just that. ¡°That kid is an odd one¡± I thought to myself. Forget the fact that he is blind, his swordsmanship alone held limitless potential. Even when I trained with him, I could tell he was holding back. How much he was holding back, I do not know. He was an extremely effeminate child, and I was positive that he would get picked on for it. Not my fault though when they get their ass¡¯s kicked. It was about twelve when I finally headed back to the inn. I was going to order some food when I heard a loud thud upstairs. At first, I thought it was just a wild couple having sex. However, four more thumps and the loud crash of a vase changed my mind. Instantly I thought of the young master. I rushed upstairs and ran to the end of the hall to see a sight that shocked me immensly. Standing their in a pool of blood was young master. His bright red eyes looked at me. I felt like a creature in a cage, feeling like he could kill me if I just breathed in his presence wrong. ¡°Aaaah Clayde. Good thing you are here. Can you take care of these bodies?¡± he said with a smile. I noticed that they all died in extremely gruesome ways. I looked at the young master again, but saw no weapon on him. ¡°Clayde?¡± he asked again. ¡°Of course, young master.¡± vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Aizen¡¯s Pov The servants brought me up some delicious stew and warm bread. After devouring that, I decided to meditate. I learned that by meditating, I could slowly but surely increase the amount of power my brain could handle. I was deep in meditation when i heard footsteps outside my door. This was another skill that I had mastered during my break. I could now recognize people by footsteps. To my surprise, each and everyone of them were different when you pay attention to them. ¡°Who is it¡± I said loud enough so they could hear me. ¡°It¡¯s your servant, Clayde, Young master.¡± the voice said. I see now. They are bandits. ¡°Come In!¡± I said. The door opened to reveal four men who looked to be in leather and fur armor. ¡°Hello, young master!¡± Said a voice that was most definitely not Clayde¡¯s. ¡°Who are you!!¡± I shouted, feigning fear. All pretense of disguise off, the bandit said ¡°We are Shadowfang Young master. There is a price on your head, and we are going to claim it.¡± The man walked up to me in an arrogant way. ¡°Too much weight in the back of your heels, your weight isn¡¯t shifted properly, you haven¡¯t even drawn your weapon out.¡± I said aloud. ¡°Huh? Why would I need to draw my weapon against a brat li--¡± Before he could finish I shot two of my fingertip bones straight at his throat. It crushed his throat, and before he could back away I pulled out a sharpened ribcage bone and rushed at him, slicing his throat in a perfect slash. ¡°I haven¡¯t yet got a chance to test my strength in this world¡± I say. Looks of fear were on all of their faces. I rushed at the next man, stabbing his heart with a perfect thrust. The other two snapped out of their daze then pulled out their swords. Forming a spiral of bones around my hand and wrist, I narrowly dodged the blade that was swung from above, then slashed at the man¡¯s throat. The other man had dropped his sword and kneeled on the ground. ¡°Spare me demon, please!!¡± He cried. I decided to test something out. Making my hand ethereal, I thrust it into his brain. The effect was gruesome. When my hand materialized again, it was inside of his brain. I shot spikes of bone out of my wrist and hand, completely pulverizing everything inside. His whole head exploded with force, drenching me in blood. I pulled out my hand, wanting to see if my experiment was true or not. I was wondering if when I make my body ethereal then corporeal again if my body would absorb the foreign substance with it. Luckily, it didn¡¯t.I was wondering on how to deal with this when I heard Clayde¡¯s footsteps running of the stairs. He rounded the corner and looked at me with wide eyes. I was considering killing him but decided against it. Clayde was helpful to me in many ways. I was still ignorant of this world and needed a guide. ¡°Aaaah Clayde. Good thing you are here. Can you take care of these bodies?¡± I asked. He was obviously shocked, as he didn¡¯t respond. ¡°Clayde?¡± I said softly ¡°Of course, Young master.¡± ¡°And Clayde¡± I said ¡°Yes young master?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t speak of this to anyone. I would hate for an¡­ Unfortunate accident to happen.¡± I let my meaning get across. ¡°Of course, Young master.¡± After this, nothing eventful happened. Of course, Clayde watched me almost twenty four seven now.I could tell he was analyzing every move I made. Not that I really cared. As long as he was good to me, I would be good to him. A month passed and in the blink of an eye I was at the Vainst institute. Vainst academy The Vainst Institute is located in the capital city, Verdan. It is a Key location the empire of Elgen and houses the largest holy church. There was a long line of people with the number growing, so I assumed this was the front of the academy. I wondered what the institute looked like. ¡°Young master, do you wish for us to accompany you to the front?¡± Clayde asked. ¡°No, thank you though. I am fine now.¡± ¡°Then, with your leave, Young master.¡± I waved them off with a bright smile. Once they were out of sight, I walked into the growing line. All my papers had been submitted already, so all I had to do was show them my family¡¯s seal. My family¡¯s seal was the picture of a snake biting a hawk in mid flight. ¡°Hey he¡¯s Blind!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the line for the warriors institute right?¡± ¡°My gosh he¡¯s Beautiful¡± Comments like this and more accompanied me as I sat in line. After about 15 minutes of waiting, I was at the front. ¡°Hello there¡± I said ¡°Might you be Aizen?¡± the female voice said. ¡°That I am. May I ask how you know me?¡± ¡°Your sister told us to watch for a blind kid who looks like a woman¡± the woman said bluntly. ¡°Looks like a woman eh?¡± I said aloud. I would get her back for that one. ¡°Please, follow me.¡± She said. I snapped my fingers and followed. Her footsteps stopped and turned around, seemingly remembering that I was blind. When she saw me following, her heart rate sped up. During the month I have been traveling, my skill with my ears has reached another level. I can¡¯t hear constant heartbeats, but whenever the heart speeds up I can hear it. ¡°I thought you were blind?¡± the woman asked ¡°I am. Doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m deaf¡± I say The woman began to walk again. More comment¡¯s about my beauty and blindness accompanied me as I walked through the institute. I went through two flights of stairs before the woman abruptly stopped before a room. ¡°Here¡± she said. I sat there. She obviously is forgetting I am blind. ¡°Um¡± ¡°Oh. I forgot.¡± She then grabs my hand and places a card into it. ¡°Just hold this card up to your door and magic will scan it, allowing it to open.¡± ¡°Thank you¡± I said. ¡°It¡¯s my job¡± she said then walked away. Placing my card up to the door it scanned the card and a small click could be heard. Opening the door, I snapped my fingers a couple of times to picture a lavish room with a comfy looking bed and seats. It was a giant room, and I noticed there were two beds. Setting my suitcase down on the bed, I then began to unpack and place my clothes in a lavish looking dresser. After finishing unpacking, I was about to leave when I heard the door open. I was instantly on alert. ¡°Um hello. You must be my doormate. I¡¯m Ajay.¡± A youthful voice said. Doormate? I had never heard anything about this. Although, this may explain the large size of the room and the lavish clothes. ¡°Is that your dresser?¡± I asked. Silence accompanied the question before I said ¡°If you nodded your head, I should tell you now. I am blind.¡± ¡°Your blind!?¡± the voice yelled. I nodded my head. ¡°But you''re in the warrior school aren¡¯t you?¡± he asked. ¡°Yeah, I am. Aren¡¯t you?¡± I asked. Once again, silence accompanied before he said ¡°No I am in the magic academy. Didn¡¯t you read the handbook?¡± he said in a stern voice. ¡°No.¡± I said bluntly. ¡°Fine, I will tell you. In order to decrease the tension between Magus and Warrior, they decided to keep both of them in the same room, as to increase relationship.¡± ¡°That could have bad effects¡± I say. ¡°Sometimes it does, but mostly magus and warrior tend to ignore each other.¡± He said. ¡°How come you aren¡¯t ignoring me?¡± I asked with a slight smile on my face. ¡°I have no dislike for warriors. If you wish to be friends, we will be friends. If not, then we won¡¯t be friends¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯d prefer friends¡± I say. He let out a large breath ¡°Same here¡± he said laughing. Suddenly a loud bell rang. I really do not like loud things. ¡°Time for the assembly. Do you know where to go?¡± Ajay asked. I shook my head. He sighed. ¡°Follow me then.¡± He said and grabbed my hand. He lead me through a series of turns which I memorized, until we arrived at a large open room. The room was massive, and sound echoed everywhere. The second I entered I made a loud CLAP, which shocked Ajay and attracted more than a few people¡¯s attention. ¡°Geez, nearly gave me a heartattack. What did you do that for?¡± he said. ¡°Needed to see¡± I said. ¡°See what?¡± he asked ¡°The room¡± I replied ¡°But you''re blind¡± he said ¡°That I am¡± I replied ¡°So how can you see!?¡¯ he asked frustrated ¡°Through my ears¡± I said, laughing He snorted and then grabbed my hand, leading me up a pair of steps. The room was shaped amphitheatre style, with a large stage in front. With my guess, we were at the top level of seats. If I was to guess, I would think that the higher up you are the more important a noble you are. ¡°You must be pretty important to be able to come all the way up here¡± I said. ¡°Just a little¡± he replied with a tone in his voice I couldn¡¯t discern. I snapped my fingers and memorized the seats. Ajay lead us to the very front, giving us the best view. I was now certain he was someone important. I was going to ask more but suddenly a man began talking ¡°Welcome, Students of Vainst Institution. We are proud to show you the buildings that our forefather, George Vainst, made with his very own hands. Look here at the craftsmanship bestowed at each building¡­¡± The lecture went on and on about how great the school was.But it did have a right to brag. It was ranked first in the world as the best institute for magic, and second in martial arts. The only reason my parents put me here and not Grajin academy was the fact that my sister¡¯s went here. After the lecture was finally over, Ajay led me back to the rooms. Not that I needed help. ¡°Boring ass lecture, Huh?¡± he said Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. ¡°Definitely not on my list of things I wish to do again¡± I said ¡°I bet¡± he said. He then said in a serious tone ¡°Were you born that way or¡­¡± ¡°I was born blind. Do not worry about offending me. I do not care that I am blind. I see it as a source of strength, not weakness.¡± ¡°I see. I apologize for my awkwardness then. Let me be frank. How is a blind person going to fight as a warrior?¡± Ajay asked, surprising me with his bluntness ¡°I have trained my ears and my body to cope with my condition. I can fight.¡± I said ¡°I see¡± he said. ¡°Well, I am going to bed. Do you plan leaving your clothes and weights in my dresser, or do you wish to move them into your side?¡± My side of the room had a Above-the-norm bed with fluffy pillows and a single plain dresser. After grabbing out my stuff, I went to bed. It was about 9¡±00 when I awoke. My first class was at 10;00, so I had plenty of time. After getting dressed and putting on 15 pounds ankle weights, I put on a heavy 10 pound belt around my waist. I decided to leave early, since Ajay was gone and I had no one to guide me. I walked around the campus for a while, memorizing the view and clapping in order to get the mental picture of the place. It truly was a beautiful institute. Beautifully carved buildings adorned the place, giving it an old and noble air. It took me about 50 minutes to arrive at the building. By then I had almost thoroughly explored the outside of the institute. I arrived at a small building which belied its internal appearance. Inside was large room which took me about 3 claps to get the perfect picture. Needless to say, that drew attention. ¡°Is there a reason you are clapping¡± a young voice said, full of arrogance. ¡°I need to see¡± I say ¡°So you are blind then?¡± he said. I already knew what he was doing, so I reached up and grabbed his wrist. ¡°Blind, but not dumb¡± I say, throwing his hand down. This drew multiple laughs. By the sound of it there were about twenty students in here. ¡°You cocky little shit¡± he said, full of anger. I could tell he was going to punch me so I got in a battle stance. ¡°Enough¡± a voice said. I turned my head towards the sound of the noise. ¡°Who the fuck are you people?¡± the angry voice said. ¡°We¡± a female voice said, ¡°Are your teachers.¡± I heard five different set of footprints, so I assumed each one of them was a teacher. The angry voice didn¡¯t say anything, but I heard his heartbeat quicken. ¡°There are six classes you can take¡± said a deep masculine voice. ¡°The first class is the ranged class, with lady Veronica. This class will focus on the use of bows and other ranged objects. The second class in with me, master Baxter. It will focus on using two handed weapons. The third class is with master Hark. It will focus on using sword and shield, training you to become a knight or a mercenary.The fourth class is with master John. This will teach you how to dual wield weapons. The fifth class is with master Kane. It will teach you hand to hand combat. ¡°That was five teachers¡± I thought to myself. They said six classes. Who is the sixth?¡± ¡°The sixth class will be revealed at nighttime. For those of you who aren¡¯t afraid to lose your live¡¯s, I recommend this class to you.¡± I had a pretty good Idea on what it was going to be, although I wasn¡¯t positive. Surely an institute wouldn¡¯t have something like that at it¡¯s school. In the end, I didn¡¯t make any choices, as I decided to choose the six class. It was lunch time by the time we finished. The classes today were basically just telling us what we were going to be learning about. I walked back towards to dorm and placed my key against the door. I had learned that the door was soundproof when locked. The only sound it made when it was unlocked. When I opened the door what greeted me was the sound of a woman moaning and bare flesh slapping against bare flesh. ¡°Oh yeah, right there. harder, harder. I¡¯m gonna, I¡¯m gonna-cumm-WHO IS THAT!¡± she shouted in mid orgasm. The smell of sex permeated the whole room. ¡°You really need to tell me when you¡¯re going to have sex.¡± I tell Ajay ¡°Sorry sorry, didn¡¯t know you would be coming back so soon¡± he said laughing ¡°It¡¯s 6:00¡± I say ¡°Your point?¡± I just shake my head and go to the bathroom. Each dorm had a small bath included in it, that could be refilled with hot water with a simple press of a button. I took of my clothes and weights to hear a low whistle. ¡°Dayum. That¡¯s what I call a body.¡± Ajay said. It was true. I trained every day with extensive weights on, so naturally body was being shaped into something tough. ¡°It came with work¡± I said, stepping into the tub. It was about 10:00 when I left the room. Ajay ordered food for us,saying it was a gift if I didn¡¯t tell anyone he had sex with his teacher. I arrived at the building at around 10:15. Now that I knew where to walk, It took me less time. Apparently I was the last one in, because when I snapped my fingers there were six others waiting. ¡°So the blind kid came?¡± said a voice. ¡°Indeed he did¡± I said. ¡°Where the fuck is the fucking teacher?¡± said another voice. Jeez, meeting two people with horrible mouth¡¯s in one day. ¡°Right here¡± A voice whispered behind me. I whirled around with my killing intent unleashed to the max. ¡°How the fuck did someone manage to sneak up on me¡± I thought. My staff blow was stopped short as a strong wrist prevented me from moving. ¡°No need to be so startled¡± the voice said. It sounded female, but the clothing around it¡¯s mouth wouldn''t let me confirm it. It let go of my wrist. Even as it walked, I couldn''t tell it was their without continually snapping my fingers. I decided to enhance my ears then. Once I did that, I could perfectly hear everyone¡¯s heartbeats, yet I still couldn¡¯t hear her footsteps. ¡°As most of you have probably guessed, the sixth class will teach you arts of assassination. This will be a full graduation class, meaning you will never have a day off until you either graduate or leave.¡± I couldn¡¯t see, but I was positive the voice was smiling. The sixth class ¡°What if we didn¡¯t guess and we just wanted to visit¡± said a cocky voice ¡°Then it sucks to be you¡± the assassin said. That gave everyone some laughs. But in truth, we all knew what the sixth class was. ¡°In this course, you will learn about the art of assassination, including learning about the human body, alchemy, hand to hand combat, lockpicking,weapon concealing and more.¡± I smiled. In my mind, I thought this assassin was a pro. Not that many people can sneak up on me, nonetheless stop my blow in mid swing. Okay, maybe more than a few people people can do the last one, but I refuse to acknowledge it until I see it. ¡°If you chose to accept, you will swear an oath to never speak of what goes on in this class, a blood oath to be more specific.¡± I had heard about blood oaths from my mom. Pretty straightforward, you must draw blood over the paper and confirm the speakers words, magically binding you. She pulled out an old papyrus scroll and laid it down on a table. After saying the blood oath, she told us to be here at 9:00 sharp for training. Since I no other classes other than course classes (Language arts, history, science, math), I had a lot of free time on my hands. There was also something that I need to do. After going back up to my room, Ajay was still asleep in the same position as I had left. I really didn¡¯t care if he had followed me or not, since it wouldn¡¯t be breaking the blood oath.The assassin had also told us to call her Luna. I woke up around two hours later to the sound of two people talking. ¡°I can¡¯t have a relationship with you¡± ¡°Please, I love you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but we can never be together¡± ¡°No Ajay you can¡¯t leave me¡± I am going to kill him. After getting about 10 more hours of sleep, I decided to head over to the magic institute to see my sisters. I had recently made a new weapon. I had finished creating a bone stick that had thousands of miniscule holes in it. Each on of these holes were painstakingly precise. I had started this weapon when my bones turned black about two years ago, but It wasn¡¯t complete until today. When swung with enough force, a loud whistling sound is created, allowing me to see my environment when fighting. It does have some slight drawbacks however, and that is the frequency it makes is extremely high pitched, so I can¡¯t use my enhanced ears unless I wish to be in pain for about three weeks.Also, Since the holes are so small, the sound bounces off large objects differently. It is mostly for walking until I can make a better version. I tapped my weapon against the solid walls of the Institute until I came upon a place that looked to be the front desk. ¡°Hello there¡± ¡®What is it? I¡¯m busy and I have no time to talk with you¡± said a high pitched queer voice ¡°I¡¯m looking for Susan and Lana Alvenstead¡± I say, ignoring the attitude. ¡°Listen here, You perverted boys need to stop bothering those pretty young girls, everyday you guys come and try to visit those two. Enough!¡± I could tell the voice was male, and most likely infatuated with my sister¡¯s as well. Why else would he put so much work into keeping people away. ¡°Nice to know that my SISTERS are popular¡± I say, hinting. ¡°Eh? Sisters? So you''re allen¡± ¡°Aizen¡± ¡°Ah my extreme apologies!!¡± he said frantically After reassuring the man that it was fine multiple times, he finally told me that since my sisters were constantly asked to be visited by boys everyday he was forced to keep them away. After pointing me out some directions, he apologized again after I told him I was blind. Seriously, such a hassle. Should I write ¡°I¡¯m Blind¡± on my forehead? Finally, the man gave me instructions on how to get their. He offered to take me himself, but I declined. I hadn¡¯t seen my sister¡¯s in three weeks, so I was eager to see if they had grown. By the way, If you are curious about my growth, I was now 5¡¯8,having grown two inches in the past three months. My father was about 6¡¯3, so I didn¡¯t plan on being short for long. I walked in the direction the man told me to until I arrived at something I assumed was a courtyard . Apparently, the boys and girls dorms were split evenly. Only in classes they were allowed to see each other. I tapped my cane on the ground to get a look at the environment. The clothes I had on were some soft but durable white satin pants and shirt. Satin makes the least amount of noise when I wear it, so I have multiple pairs. Time to look for my sisters. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Lana¡¯s Pov (Short blonde hair, blue eyes, water affinity In case you don¡¯t remember) I was in the middle of training when my sister, Susan, came and got me. Susan was truly beautiful, and she was my inspiration. I wanted to become as strong as her some day. ¡°It¡¯s lunch time, Lana¡± she said in a beautiful voice. My body shivered at the way she talked. With long black hair and eyes darker than the night, accentuated by a perfect face and body, my sister was beautiful. That was the only way to describe it. I followed behind her, my eyes watching every movement her as- body makes. Purely to become as strong as her, of course. We walked into the large lunch pavillion and heads turned. Of course they would. My sister and I were probably the most gorgeous people here. I grabbed a light lunch, as I wasn¡¯t that hungry. My sister, however beautiful she may be, has the appetite of a glutton. Massive amounts of food were sent her way, only for her to inhale them a couple minutes later. ¡°Even when she eats, she¡¯s beautiful¡± I thought, sighing. Suddenly, there was a commotion. ¡°My god, he¡¯s beautiful!¡± ¡°Look at that skin, flawless!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that a walking stick! He¡¯s blind?¡± ¡°No way, it¡¯s got to be in act!¡± I looked at my sister. We both knew who it was. My sister stood up, bringing a few plates of food with her, me trailing behind her watching her as- body move. Purely for training, of course. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Susan¡¯s Pov My sister has a major sister complex. It¡¯s bad, like, really bad. I caught her masturbating to my panties one time. I never even thought of my sister like that. She had a big chest that was bigger than her body, which made me, who only had a B cup size, extremely jealous. When I saw her masturbating with my panties, I wasn¡¯t sure what to do. I decided to do nothing, assuming that this is just a puberty thing. My sister may be a pervert, but she is an excellent magus. She doesn¡¯t know it, but she¡¯s my drive. She is almost as powerful as me, despite being younger. Due to her, I train constantly. I grabbed my sister when she was in the middle of training and dragged her to lunch. She followed along like a cute little puppy. When I got to the pavillion my mouth was watering. I ordered two pigs for myself, salad, stew, chicken and more. I engulfed them like it was nothing. Truthfully, I realized that I ate too much, but with all my physical training It paid off. I had a slim, beautiful body with an ass that would make a goddess jealous. While I was eating, I heard Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. ¡°My god, he¡¯s beautiful!¡± ¡°Look at that skin, flawless!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that a walking stick! He¡¯s blind?¡± ¡°No way, it¡¯s got to be in act!¡± I looked at my sister. We both knew who it was. I stood up, grabbing a few plates of food with me as always. The crowd parted as we walked. Obviously it should. I was the best fire magus in the school and the third strongest overall. My sister was the fifth strongest overall and the second best water magus. Her only competition was some mysterious kid who had no background. As I expected, there was my brother tapping his cane on the ground. On his next tap, he looked straight at me and began to walk over at a leisurous pace. A crowd was gathering, but I didn¡¯t mind. My brother finally made it over here, walking like he there was nothing wrong in the world. My brother didn¡¯t know, but I knew he was different. He acts like he is weak but i knew better. I snuck into his room one night and saw something I would never forget. I was 13 years old when I snuck into his room. I was planning on telling him that It would be fine even if he couldn¡¯t go outside. I felt it was my duty as an older sister. When I snuck into the room, I saw the image of pure terror. Surrounding my brother was a multitude of sharp bones that were sticking out of his skin. (This is what Aizen looks like, Except he has no dots on his forehead and his eyes are red. No makeup either ^^ Hope you guys like kimima-I mean Aizen!Also, no tattoo and Aizens Body is much more defined) At first I thought he was injured, but to my horror as I watched Aizen was controlling the bones, pulling them out of his skin. I thought of telling my Uncle Oliver that there was a demon in Aizen but then I thought about it. Uncle Oliver is one of the most powerful like style Magus in the continent. If he was possessed by a demon, no doubt he would know. I made an important decision that day. Aizen obviously didn¡¯t want to tell his family about his ability, so I wouldn¡¯t be the one to spoil it. ¡°Hello there my dear brother Aizen¡± I said with a smile even. Even if he has secrets, he is still the brother I know and love. ¡°Hello there sus--¡± Before he could even finished he was squashed between Lana¡¯s massive chest, ¡°Aizzeeeeeeen¡± she said happily. I almost forgot. Lana dotes on Aizen even more than she dotes on me. ¡°he-yo-to¡± He said. I couldn¡¯t understand it. Damn those massive weapons. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Aizen¡¯s Pov I was currently squashed between two fearsome weapons. Each were soft, squishy, and had the ability to drive a man insane.Fortunately, I am no mortal man. Pulling myself out of Lana¡¯s chest, I gave her a proper hug. ¡°Hello little sis Lana¡± I said. ¡°Muuu respect your elders!¡± she said in a pouty voice. Lana was short and hated when she was mistaken for a younger person. ¡°Hai, Hai.¡± I said. I was going to give Susan a hug. When I opened my arms I heard her heartbeat quicken. ¡°Oh jeez. Does that mean?..¡± I thought. I really hoped my older sister wasn¡¯t developing feelings for me. I gave her a short hug, then said ¡°I need money.¡± bluntly. ¡°You already spent all your money!?¡± By now most of the crowd had left, but there were a few girls around. ¡°No, In my haste mother forgot to give me money.¡± I say slightly embarrassed. ¡°Ugh. Well, we only have enough money for ourselves, so you''re out of luck.¡± After reminiscing about everything that happened so far-excluding my slaughter scene- we basically spent the whole day together. It was 8:50 when I got back to the building(It is too abstract to call it building, so I will change it to warehouse) After stepping into the warehouse I snapped my fingers. The sound rebounded off of six figures. I then used sense enhancement to check if that damned assassin was here. Even with my perfect ears, she still managed to sneak up on me. ¡°Right here¡± she says behind me ¡°God damnit¡± I say aloud. She then walked to the front of the class. ¡°Today you will learn how to control your body.¡± she said simply ¡°Not to be a wise ass¡± a voice said.¡±But I¡¯m pretty sure I know how to control my body.¡± He then made a movement I couldn¡¯t detect, which apparently was funny as the class laughed. Suddenly a cold aura filled the room. Before I could even process what happened, wise ass was on the ground coughing. ¡°Can you control this muscle? Did you know you have a muscle here, that..¡± She then went on about the muscles that the human body has that are almost never used, yet when trained become very powerful. It was about 1:00 when I came back to my room. Even with my extremely fit body, I was exhausted and sore. She made me move in ways I didn¡¯t think possible! The second I hit the pillow I was out like a light. It was habit for me too sleep with enhanced ears on. I tended to want to know everything that happened in my room, so when the skilled masked man appeared on our windowsill I immediately detected him. ¡°What are you doing here!¡± Ajay said in a venomous voice ¡°My apologies, Imperial Prince but I have a Message from your father, The Emperor.¡±Wow. Guess he was someone pretty Important. ¡°Then speak and be on with it¡± ¡°Your Imperial Father wishes for you to return home within seven years¡± I heard Ajay suck in a gasp. ¡°But father told me I could explore after I finished at Vainst!¡± Ajay argued ¡°Times have changed, my prince. With your leave.¡± Ajay stood by the windowsill before saying ¡°I know you''re awake, Aizen¡± In a cold voice. I turned around with a smile on my face. ¡°Your highness, huh?¡± I said. ¡°Got a problem with it?¡± He snapped ¡°Nope. But you will be paying for all the lunches now¡± I said, then turned back around. I heard Ajay let out a loud laugh. ¡°Fine, fine¡± he said. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Hello! Lana¡¯s a siscon, eh? Even I didn¡¯t see that coming. Just kidding. I wrote it, Of course. Anyways, pretty fun chapter huh? I plan on putting more action into my story soon.Also, I need the readers opinion. What moves should the power of darkness be able to use? I will not have my character be too op, being able to shoot massive fireballs that can destroy entire cities with a single blast. No no, I plan to make the Mc struggle, But currently I am struggling. So, you tell me in the comments. What can the power of darkness (and possibly more) do? :3 Trap Two years had passed since I learned that Ajay was the imperial prince. Apparently, he was sick of being cooped up and had decided to come to the academy to further train himself. He had made a deal with his father, saying that he could travel for two years after he finished the academy, which took seven years. During this time I have developed my body to even greater strengths. Any extra fat I had was thoroughly shaved off in assassin training. With Luna¡¯s guidance, I have trained my ears to be able to hear heartbeats even without enhancing my ears. When I enhance my ears, I can now hear the creak of joints when they are moved and if I concentrate, the exhale of the lungs. With my training I have now thoroughly studied the human body. I am extremely skilled in using acupuncture and hitting pressure points. Best in my class at it, actually. I am well versed in moving without making a sound, have studied and added the art of assassination in my martial arts repertoire. I hate to say it, but I am terrible at alchemy. It is extremely hard to use sound to picture a small object, so I just gave up on learning. Ajay and I have developed a pretty close relationship over the past two years. Now that he had someone he didn¡¯t have to keep his guard up around, he was pretty care-free. Turn¡¯s out that there are three other Imperial Prince¡¯s, with him being the youngest. I learned with a little shock that he was the strongest magus in the academy, even stronger than my sister. He does not know that I am an assassin or how strong I am, but I am beginning to suspect that he has been keeping a closer eye on me. I had also learned, with more than a little disappointment, that darkness has basically no attacking spells. Luna had told me about the powers of darkness when I had asked about it. Mostly it was full of Illusion spells, a few healing spells and a couple others that she refused to tell me about. I was currently running across rooftops with the other two top students in my class of seven. Their name¡¯s were Sam and Tara. Sam was a small kid, maybe 5¡¯3 but his skill with a dagger is leagues above mine. I thought the dagger would be similar to sword fighting, but I was wrong. Tara is a black skinned girl from the northern Tajira tribe. Her parent¡¯s were quite rich, being the leader of the mountain tribe so they sent her here for more training. It was dark out, being 10:00 or 11:00. I was softly clicking my tongue with enhanced ears. I could clearly see everything around me. The three of us were going to kill someone. Once we hit the second year of schooling, our training drastically changed. No longer was it practicing against each other with swords padded in leather. Now it was a full blown sword on sword action. At first, Luna was hesitant to let me participate due to my disability, but after convincing her to let me participate she said ¡°Don¡¯t come crying to me when you die.¡± Needless to say, that didn¡¯t happen. I was paired up against a kid named Brutus, a beefy kid who used two swords. ¡°Don¡¯t go easy on me¡± I told him then charged at him with extreme speed. It startled the shit out of him when I appeared in front of his face in under two seconds. I already knew brutus¡¯s exact size so I didn¡¯t need to check his body. His heartbeat alone told me where he was. I reinforced the bones under my skin and added a layer of bones right above my muscles. It had a devastating effect. I had punch his solar plexus, dropping him to his knees. Next, I reinforced my right knee and rotated my body, smashing his temple with my knee. Brutus was in a coma for about a month. No longer did anyone make any jokes about me being blind. I quickly rose to the best of the class and pestered Luna to teach me more. Eventually she succombed to my pestering and is currently teaching me a martial art called ¡°The Touch of Death¡± which focuses on pressure points. I have memorized every pressure point on the human body, but it is extremely hard to use this martial art, as you have to apply a certain amount of strength in order to use it properly. ¡°We are almost here, Aizen¡± Sam said, shaking me out of my thoughts. The person we were planning to kill was a corrupt noble that dealt with the Relgen empire, the enemy of the Elgen empire, the empire I am currently living in. The mansion he was living in looked to have about three floors, and was heavily guarded by soldiers and knights. We were ordered to Assassinate his whole family as to teach a lesson to everyone that dealt with the Relgen empire. Tara pulled out her bladed bow and put two arrows in it. She pulled back, and with perfect accuracy both arrows whistled into the guards throats that were guarding the front entrance. Sam and I caught the bodies before they fell, to make sure they didn¡¯t make any noise. Sam picked the lock on the door then pushed it open. I swung my bone stick, and listened as the sound bounced off the environment. ¡°I really need to think of a more efficient method for this¡± I thought. ¡°Spread out, Kill anyone who gets in your way. Grab the family and meet at the top floor master bedroom.¡± I said. Instantly footsteps veered out to the left and right of me. I, Was taking the stairs to the top xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sam¡¯s Pov I ran to the left. I would let tara kill the woman. I had already scouted this place out and knew that the Noble¡¯s son slept in this room. I was still nervous about killing someone. My hands were shaking when Tara shot those two guards in the throat, though out of excitement or fear I have no clue. Two guards stood by the door of his room. Sounds of sex filled the room, the noise passing through the door. It was obvious that the guards were more than a little uncomfortable at the noise. ¡°I¡¯m going to go to the bathroom¡± One of the guards said ¡°Y-yeah¡± the other one said. He walked toward me and my heart began to pound. ¡°I will have to kill him . No, no,no.¡± I thought. Suddenly the man passed by me. ¡°Now!¡± I thought. I closed my eyes and lunged at his neck. A moment later I felt warm blood gush over my hands. Tears fell out of my eyes when I realized I had just killed someone. My body was racked with sobs. I¡¯m really not cut out for this. I lowered the body down gently. After getting myself back together, I grabbed a throwing knife from my belt and threw it at the guard standing at the door. The second I threw it, I ran around the corner and charged him. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. ¡°W-¡± he could say no more as my throwing knife landed perfectly his throat. I caught the body, but not before his helmet fell off. A loud clang resounded in the hallway. ¡°Shit!¡± I thought. Luckily, nobody else was awake. I grabbed my lock picks and filled with the door. I opened the door just in time to feel a sword pierce through my heart. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Tara¡¯s Pov My arrows perfectly sunk into the guards necks at the front door. ¡°Bull¡¯s eye¡± I thought Once Shorty and Blindo opened the door, Blindo started bossing us around like he was our boss. Don¡¯t get me wrong, I know that Blindo is much stronger than me, but that didn¡¯t mean I would instantly obey him. Shorty ran to the left, so I ran to the right. There were three guards by the door, so I assumed that it was the place I needed to be. This would have been a pain in the ass if I needed to check all the rooms. I was pondering what to do when suddenly a loud clang filled the hallway. The guards looked at each other and nodded. One of the went to the right, the other went to the left, which was my direction. I waited until he passed until I thrust my bladed bow into his heart, feeling the warm blood slick my hands. Once I laid him on the ground, I took out an arrow and shot the last guard in the throat. By now Sam should have dealt with the guard that came that way. I fiddled with the door, as lock picking wasn¡¯t my strong suit. I opened the door to see six guards and a female with a bow pointing their weapons at. ¡°Die, Assassin¡± she said. I screamed. TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ¡°Somethings wrong¡± I thought. I had heard the loud clang of armor from below. I sat by the stairs, waiting for someone to come only to find after a quick search that it was empty. The only option left was to search the top room. Walking up the stairs, I swung my cane around to get a perfect picture of the place. There were countless objects on the wall. Upon close inspection, I picked one up to find that it was a mask. I felt around it, feeling that it only had two eye holes and no mouth. Suddenly, a loud scream pierced the air. ¡°Shit, It¡¯ a Trap!¡± I thought. The voice I heard next confirmed it. ¡°Search the second floor and the upstairs, Now!¡± a male voice shouted. I only had one option. No escape, no chance of running, so I would fight. I put on the mask, finding it gave me a surprisingly tight fit.There were two ways I could take this. I could let them come to me and fight with the advantage of the stairs, or go down and slaughter them. ¡°The one who strikes first wins!¡± I thought. I ran down the stairs as silent as a wraith. I rounded the corner to see a company of five guards coming my way. I put a second layer of bone around my muscles then dashed out in front of them ¡°Attack thats th-¡± he said no more as my black bones shot through his throat. The guards pulled out their swords and one of them pulled out a crossbow, firing it at me. I dodged with practiced ease as it came flying at me. Tera¡¯s arrows are much harder to dodge. I grabbed two black ribcage bones out of my body and sliced the throats of the two guards in front. I made four bones in the shape of a symmetrical eagle¡¯s claw come out of my upper wrist, piercing the guards chest and tearing through his iron armor. The last guard smashed his sword against my neck, knocking me to the ground. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the armor, I¡¯d be dead right now¡± I thought. I picked myself up and made my hand go ethereal. I parried his next swing with my Bonesword and shoved my hand into his heart. I materialized it, crushing his heart. I enhanced my ears just in time to dodge an arrow that was shot from the second floor stairs. ¡°He¡¯s Up here!¡± the man shouted. I threw my bonesword at his head, piercing his skull. ¡°Is that a bone?!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a cannibal!¡± I smiled. The more fear they felt, the easier it was for me to kill them. Two guards walked up the stairs and I shot my fingertips at them. One of them managed to dodge, but the other one had his brain splattered against the wall. Before the survivor could regain his bearings I crossed the gap in an instant. I kicked his neck with the perfect amount of force, snapping it without throwing him backwards. He tumbled down the stairs with no visible injury. I would rather not fight twenty guards, even if I could kill them all. I searched around the second floor while the guards were in fear. I swung my cane while running, hoping to find a window. No such luck. ¡°If there isn¡¯t a way out I¡¯ll make one!¡± I thought as I punched the wall with a body enhanced fist. My fist smashed against something that was in front of the wall. Feeling it, it felt like a second wall only...different. ¡°It feels like mana!¡± I thought. So the walls are guarded with mana. ¡°Maybe it takes mana to break mana¡± I said aloud. By now, the guards were upstairs and searching for me. I was going to try something I have never attempted. I imaged in massive lance of bone to wrap itself around my arm. The bones responded, making a heavy lance of pure black bone around it. I imbued the bones with mana, then took a few steps back. ¡°There he is, Kill him!¡± I felt arrows smash against my back, tearing skin but unable to crack my armor. I Enhanced my arm and my legs then ran at the wall. The bonelance was pretty heavy, but I knew I could manage. Right when I was a good distance away from the wall I used my centrifugal force and threw my arm against the wall. A terribly loud Cracking sound could be heard. I pushed with all my strength, and suddenly the wall gave way. I fell through with it. I was about three stories up, but when I enhanced my feet my bone and mana, I didn¡¯t feel anything. I ran as fast as I could, adrenaline pumping through my body like never before. llllllllllllllll From above the tree lines, a figure was watching Aizen with an amazed expression on his face. ¡°How can he.. No, more importantly, how is he so strong when he is blind!¡± that voice sounded like¡­ Ajay! ¡°Guess it was worth following him¡± he thought. ¡°If he is this strong, then he is perfect to be the leader of the team!!..¡± LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Well how did you all like my chapter? I thought it was pretty good, though my fight scenes could use some work. Anyways, Hope you enjoyed! Switching sides, For good or worse? I think the plot advanced too fast in this chapter, But I plan on keeping it. Aizen has a true goal now, so I have something to focus on Instead of writing on what happened the last chapter. Enjoy the story! ---------------------------------------- ¡°I Failed the mission.¡± I said ¡°Of course you did¡± Luna replied. ¡°What do you mean?¡± I asked, confused. ¡°You were meant to fail. The guards were already alerted about you coming their. It was a test to see if you could escape from a bad situation unscathed. You passed with flying colors. Although you should teach me how you did that thing with your bon-¡± She couldn¡¯t finish her sentence before a fingertip bullet penetrated her throat. ¡°What a waste of good men. You should have had them captured, not killed. Idiot.¡± Was I mad about the fact that my comrades were killed? Not really. Death is everywhere, coming for us all. The only reason I killed her was because she knew that I could use my bone shaping. I did not want that fact to get out. I searched her body, checking for anything that could relate to me. My hand grasped on a piece of paper. ¡°Hope this is it¡± I say. Just in case, I strip her naked and put her cloth clothes in a bundle. Grabbing a candle from the wall, I lit them ablaze, then threw the letter in. ¡°Not bad, Not bad. I didn¡¯t think you were this strong¡± Ajay said. I whirled around. I was so preoccupied on searching for the letter, I hadn¡¯t heard his heartbeat. ¡°Well, I¡¯m busted¡± I say. We sat there, looking at each other before he said ¡°What do you think of this world, Oh person from another planet?¡± My blood ran cold when he said that. ¡°How do you..?¡± I asked ¡°I have my source¡¯s¡± he said. ¡°Oliver¡± I thought. That piece of¡­ he was going to get it when I see him again. ¡°So tell me. What do you think?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen much. Only read in stories about the other race¡¯s and demi humans. But I believe slavery should be stopped as soon as possible. I think it is wrong to ensnare someone against their will.¡± I said truthfully ¡°What if I could give you the means to change this world?¡± he says. ¡°Then I would take it and change the world¡± I respond ¡°What if they don¡¯t wish to be changed?¡± He countered ¡°Sometimes, change needs to be forced. I believe that when you stay in the past for too long, You will wither and never grow to your full potential.¡± I finished ¡°I..completely agree with you¡± he said. He walked closer to me then stopped. I clicked my tongue to see his hand was outstretched for me. ¡°If I give you the means to end slavery and all the unjust things in the world. will you take it?¡± he says. ¡°Then serve me! Help me changed this damn corrupt world into a place where all beings could co-exist¡± He says confidently ¡°Me? Serve You?¡± I ask shocked. The Ajay I have known was always lazy, never caring about anything other than sex and messing around. I have been dragged into countless situations because of him. Like the time he had sex with a noble¡¯s daughter and was chased outside the house, Only to come back a little later and then get chased out again, running to our dorm bare ass naked. Or the time he picked up a tab of 1500 gold coins and ditched them on me. But truth was, I have never seen Ajay fight or wish harm against anyone. ¡°Fine then. But I have conditions.¡± I say ¡°Let me tell you mine first¡± He says. ¡°If you so choose to accept this burden, you will no longer be Aizen von Alvenstead. You will be a nameless wanderer that helps people in need. You will serve me and only me. Also, you will no longer be one with the darkness. I will bring you into the light.¡± He says with confidence If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. ¡°It¡¯s Impossible¡± I say. ¡°My true body is bound to the void¡± ¡°I have an ancient artifact that is packed with holy power. Using this, It is possible to forcibly pull your real body into your current one. Though, it will hurt like nothing you have ever felt.¡± I thought about it for a moment. Power is always what I have desired. I had no wish to go back to being weak. I can¡¯t even use spells in this body since I don¡¯t have a mana core. My original plan after I had gotten permission from my parent¡¯s was to abolish slavery. If this was the fastest path, then so be it. ¡°I accept, But if and only if you listen to my conditions.¡± ¡°Speak them.¡± ¡°This relationship will not be king and servant. We will be equals, nothing more nothing less. You will pay me a certain amount of money every month, Like a paycheck. You will revive my Clan to its former glory. Also, You will not use me for anything else¡± I say in a tone that brokered no argument. ¡°Deal¡± he says. He then rustles through what sounds like a bag, then grabs my hand and places something in it. ¡°This is the artifact. It is an earring imbued with an extreme amount of holy power. Put this on your ear and fuse your mana with it.¡± I did as he asked, feeling a small pain when I punctured my ear. ¡°Do or Die¡± I thought, then opened my mana to it. Instantly a massive amount of holy energy rushed from the earring. ¡°AAAAAAAAAH¡± I shouted in pain. This was horrible! It felt like my mind was being forcibly ripped apart then put back together. I felt my true body get pulled, like something was attracting it. I coughed up a large amount of blood. ¡°Aizen!¡± Ajay shouted. ¡°GRAAAAAAH¡± I roared with pain. I felt my real body leave the void. I felt a hot burning at the center of my chest. I assumed that was my mana core. but I wasn¡¯t positive. Not that I cared at the moment. Back to screaming ¡°AAAAAAAH¡± I screamed. My chest was getting extremely hot. I reached my hand out and heard a loud smash against the wall. Then It was quiet. Finally, the holy energy stopped filling into my eyes. ¡°ah...ah...oh..shit...that...hurt¡± I said in gasping breaths. Once again I coughed up a large amount of blood. Once I stopped coughing I tapped on the ground. What I saw shocked me. Ajay was half way Indented into the wall, his left arm missing. ¡°Shit!¡± I shouted then tried to get up. ¡°No good!¡± I thought as I vomited more blood. ¡°If I lose any more blood I will die¡± I think. I began to crawl towards Ajay, slowly but surely. ¡°Ajay, get up¡± I say. He didn¡¯t respond, but his heartbeat told me he was alive and kicking. ¡°AJAY¡± I shout. No response except a groan. ¡°*SLAP*SLAP*SLAP*SLAP*¡± I slapped him over and over again until his face was purple. ¡°whyoslme¡± he groaned ¡°Huh?¡± He spit out a large mouthful of blood ¡°I shad.. shy shid shu shwap me?¡± I couldn¡¯t help it, I burst out into laughter when he said this, which in turn caused me to vomit for blood. Nope, still not dead yet. I felt tired, but I knew We needed to get Ajay treated. Standing up wobbly, I made my bones as light as possible then stood up. Grabbing Ajay, We slowly but surely limped towards the door. ----------------------------------------- Like the chapter? Hope you did! But fear not, even with this happening, Aizen will not become Overpowered, just different. Felt like I needed to justify that haha. Anyway, comment your thoughts :D Annah Hi guys!! :D This chapter should be exciting and new, comment what you think of it!! ------------- Annah¡¯s Pov Genius, that¡¯s what they called me The pure crystallization of talent Something that can¡¯t be described with normal words A Martial Artist so strong, she single-handedly shaped the underground world of murim Her Ki was so dark, It is said that even a pitch black room is brighter in comparison. But If I am so strong, then why couldn¡¯t I stop them? Stop them from killing my family, raping my little brother and sister, slitting the throats of their mother right in front of them. I was a shell of my former self. My mind felt like it was an abyss of nothingness. I hated this world. How dare they touch something of mine, I should kill them all. So I did. I slaughtered millions of people with my hands, ripping out the throats of children, smashing the testicles of men, destroying everything. I didn¡¯t care, I just wanted this nothingness to end. When they finally managed to stop me, It was too late. The damage was done. Nature was destroyed to an irreparable level. Soon, nothing would be left of the world. When I felt my life force slowly ebb out of me, I heard a voice. ¡°Do you wish for another chance, Oh evil human?¡± ¡°Another chance at what?¡± I ask ¡°Another chance to slaughter. To feel the blood of your enemies on your hands. You are not meant for this world, you are meant for mine.¡± The voice said ¡°Is there anyone strong there?¡± I ask ¡°There are people who could kill you without blinking¡± It said At this I smiled. ¡°I accept¡± Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of my eyes The first thing I noticed was the darkness. It was pitch black, with something akin to solid ground underneath my feet. A scan of my Ki revealed nothing irregular had happened with my body. I had always trained in my free time, so I decided to meditate. When I did, I discovered something shocking. This place expanded for millions of miles, and my powers were also increased greatly. ¡°Darkness does compliment darkness¡± I thought. ¡°Are you liking the strength?¡± a voice suddenly said. I whirled around in an instant. Nothing has ever snuck up on me. ¡°Do not be afraid, this is more or less my realm¡± The voice said. It was coming from everywhere. ¡°I will be less afraid when you show yourself¡± I respond ¡°Fair enough¡± it replied. Suddenly, the darkness in front of me showed a beautiful girl who was dressed in rags. ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked ¡°I am¡­ Clarissa Monique von Alvenstead¡± ¡°Long name¡± I commented. At this she laughed, a beautiful laugh that I wanted to hear more of. ¡°I have a request for you, Sadie Elric¡± she said. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡°I will listen, though I may not accept.¡± ¡°I am afraid this request is non negotiable¡± she countered. ¡°I have glimpsed into the future¡± she began.¡±But first, I shall show you the past.¡± A dark light began to glow on my forehead, and before I could ask what she was doing thousands of images flew into my head at once. Images of a young girl born with extreme magical power and affinity to the element of darkness. Fearing her power and growing respect, the gods came down to kill her. Instead, she killed seven of them before she died. This girl has my respect. ¡°In the future, I shall summon a being from another world, much like yourself. I did this all out of anger, not realizing the consequences it would have.He will grow too strong too quickly, going out of my sphere of influence. He will then trade my powers for even greater powers. He will cause a massive disruption among this world, causing millions of deaths. He will grow too strong for even the gods to handle. I wish for you to kill him¡± she says with a hint of sadness in her voice. ¡°So you want one mass murderer to take out another one?¡± I say with a little venom in my voice.¡±Why should I help you, when you will most likely turn around and kill me.¡± To my utter shock, she said ¡°Correct. After you have killed him, your body will cease to exist. I have broken many laws doing what I am doing, but before I am punished I wish to correct my other wrongs.¡± ¡°If you are doing this in the future, why don¡¯t you just not do it?¡± ¡°Because it has already happened. The child has already been born and fused with my power. When I absorbed the powers of seven gods, I could not handle it, so I split myself in two when I entered the void.¡± ¡°He is the owner of the other half of my power, though it is much weaker than me. I cannot directly interfere with the mortal realm, so I will give you the greater half of my power. You will hunt him down and kill him.¡± ¡°So tell me. Why should I do this for you?¡± I asked again. ¡°You lust for the greatest fight you can ever find. In your previous world, no one could fulfil it. This man will bring you the ultimate fight.¡± This is reason enough for me. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll kill this man. What is his name?¡± ¡°Aizen. Aizen von Alvenstead¡± She said. At this I smiled. ¡°Well aren¡¯t you cruel, killing your own blood.¡± ¡°Shut up¡± she said. I then felt a sharp pain in my heart. I looked down to see something akin to a blade stabbing through my heart. ¡°Congratulations My King, My queen, It is a girl!¡± -------------------------------------- This chapter is short, but I plan on going back to the original length after. Like the plot twist? I did!
