I somehow managed to bring Fay back to her senses. But she is still kinda out of it.She is mumbling things and is looking at me like I am a demon or something."Fay, I want you to try and break that ice."I point at the frozen tree. A charred tree which I froze during my cryogenic flame testing."Eh.. I told you that I can not use magic here."She is still going on about that. "You can. You just have to try. I guarantee that this planet has magic." "If you say so?!" She gave up.She is being very docile. None of her majesty remains. When I first met her, she was like a spoiled princess. But now she is very obedient. Was she always like this?"Master, stop making that face." (Hazel)"Mmm….what face?" "You are grinning. A very evil grin master. Are you plotting something?" Hazel is looking at me with a grimace."Hey now, I am not plotting anything."I show a smile to ease her but her grimace became even worse. To be honest, I am plotting something. Hazel has the power release and

I said make a fire but exactly how? Fire is something that burns. More scientific explanation would be combustion of an object with oxygen.It simply burns with the help of oxygen. So do I visualize oxygen?(Just visualize a fire. It's easier that way.)Thank you for the hint.I am now at the same field where I killed red.I have brought them as well. They are watching from a distance and to be safe, I have placed a barrier around them.Aegis really is handy. I visualize a fire. A normal yellow fire with partial combustion of oxygen. And it's there. On my palm is a fire. A normal fire. Yellow in color and nothing special.I feel the heat from it but it isn't burning me."Maybe I can crank up the heat." If I remember correctly, the combustion rate will also increase temperature. And hydrogen is the best fuel.I visualize a pale blue flame this time and it appeared. Normally. Is that really that easy?I feel like I cheated.(No, you didn't. Your imagination is just that much potent.)

I am gonna skip on a few things. First up is the sauna.I did enter the sauna and I stayed well over an hour in there. I set the temperature to 50 degrees celsius. Normally it would scald a human and they would die of dehydration. But reinforced my innards and increased my endurance.So I was able to endure it for that long. I could have gone longer but I feel that would be overboard.Now the current situation is like this. I am at the sparring grounds. With Fay, Hazel and Eden.They were all using the gymnasium as they saw fit but now I need them for somethings.First up is Fay."Fay, do you use magic?""Yes, I can use magic." (Fay)"What type of magic?""I can use fire magic. I was born with fire element and I can only use fire magic." (Fay)"Born with.... Is magic dependent on your birth element?""Yes. If you are born with an element, you cannot use other elements. But if don't have an element, you can't use magic at all. It depends on your affinity." (Fay)"I see. Show me your

Before getting to the story, I, Clive Belmont, would love to say somethings.Many people have been saying that I like animals way too much. It's not that. I just don't trust humans.Animals won't betray you at least. Not sure about cats though. And so, I would like someone I can trust. Animals fit the bill. So here we are. I think the author is kinda troubled. He is not sure how to write human females.So he is sticking to the animal theme for now. Now let's get to the story."Master, why are you sleeping while standing?" Hazel shakes me and says that. I was monologuing on my own. Can't do it with my eyes open so I closed them.But looks like it was took me too long. "Sorry about that. Let's start testing."Yes!! We are currently at a gymnasium. This town has a few gymnasiums. Some of them were destroyed in the attack. But a few survived.There were a few government owned gymnasiums around which were never opened to the public.And so close to my house that it's shocking.I found i

"Ummm...." I am currently having breakfast with Hazel and the rest.I have a small table which can fit four people. I have taken that out and we are currently sitting by that table.I have Hazel on my right and Fay on my left. One side is still empty because Eden is sitting on my lap.But the atmosphere is gloomy. Seriously heavy air is covering the table. Because Hazel is staring a hole right through Fay.I should do something about this. I can't eat."Hazel, there is something I need to talk to you about." I try to make my voice serious. Although it came out as normal as always."What is it, master?" She is saying that but her whole face is screaming the word annoying. She is really annoyed."What are these?" Actually, I found them this morning. Bite marks, all over my body. Like hickeys.I point at one in the neck and ask her."Oh, that's a play bite. I left it there." She is saying that like it is obvious. But it is not."Do not leave bite marks on me. Do you know, my whole bo

"Wake up, papa." I heard that. Eh! Papa? When did I get married? When did I have a kid?!! I can't remember. And my eyelids are so heavy that they aren't even moving.However there is someone sitting on my lap. I can feel the body heat. So I need to open my eyes.EYES!!! Open. With that I gather all my strength to open my eyes. The surroundings are too bright. I can't even look clearly. My eye is exposed to the sun. Where is my hand? I can't feel them. Both my left and right hands are missing.I can't feel them. And my eyes are already tearing apart. The sunshine is totally destroying my eyes. Tears are falling down my cheeks.However, something covers my eyes. Ahh!!! It feels good. At least the cruel sunshine is blocked."Papa, why are you crying? Don't cry!"Again that childish voice. And now that my eye has adapted to the light, I see a pair of hands. They are a small baby hands.Now, time to remember. Among all my partners, who could have such small hands?The only answer is Eden

(Ariel POV)Where am I? I remember that Serus died and Seina brought his soul in a bottle. I just remember drinking his soul and everything is a blank. Did I pass out?But this doesn’t look like Seina’s house. It’s dim and cold. There are many machines around here and there’s a big glass pod in the middle of the room.Panicking won’t help much. Keeping your wits about is the right thing to do. He always used to say that he likes my wits. Even if he is gone, his soul is with me. Let’s just survey the area for now.I make my way to the glass pod. It’s lit and there’s someone inside. The cylindrical pod is full of some sort of liquid and there’s a baby inside. The baby has a cord connected to its navel like an umbilical cord. But I can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl. I look around for more information. The monitor is showing its vital signs. From what I can tell, it’s a completely healthy baby.But there’s something off. Why would a human baby be inside of a glass pod? Even if the baby

What I am currently doing is something many would dream of. I am sleeping on Anais’s lap. It’s an experience that may never come again. Which is why I am thoroughly savoring this moment. This sensation, the feeling, I am burning these in my mind.Well, it would have been even more enjoyable if I wasn’t seeing the souls of the dead.I can clearly see the souls of the dead. Worst of all, I recognize all of them. During my time as a cleaner, I had to take out a lot of trash. They really were trash. I didn’t hesitate to get rid of them and now, they are in my face.“Get up, you freak!” One of them grabs me by the collar and drags me down. What’s interesting is that I fell down. But I didn’t feel any pain. And Anais disappeared. So, it is a dream. But her lap felt so real! I get up and look at the ghost. He was a small time drug dealer whom I took out in Egypt. Monga was the contractor. He bore ill will towards Monga and his family. I took him and his team out.It wasn’t anything speci

Anais put his head down on the bed and stood up. He looks like he is in a lot of pain.“What’s happening to him?” (Anais)“I guess he just got his punishment. Hmm…from the looks of it, it’s a curse. Eastern curses are hard to understand. But I think he is being haunted by a lot of souls. I’d say staying away from him would be the wise choice.” (Shankar)Anais ponders for a moment.“Is he in any immediate danger?” (Anais)“No. The curse itself won’t kill him. However he can die if his mind gives up. We should observe him for now. Besides, someone who specializes in curses is coming here soon.” (Shankar)“Do you mean that Ratri girl?” (Anais)“Yeah. She comes from a priest family. This man sure is well connected.” (Shankar)Anais and Shankar look at the sleeping Serus. His face is slightly contorted due to the curse manifesting in his dreams.On the other hand, Seina is explaining things to Mona and others. “Serus is not only being targeted in this world, he is a major target for the ou

As I climb the stairs, it hits me. The pain is slowly spreading throughout my body. It didn’t hit me immediately but it’s there. So, I just have a delayed pain response. Still, that initial pain was only intense for a second. Now it’s a dull pain flowing through my body.I took the stairs to check my condition after that fall. Can I function normally or will I be unable to move afterwards? So far, the pain is the only thing that’s bothering me.Soon I reached the 20th floor and walk in the hallway. But the pain is clouding my consciousness. It’s intense.I was standing on my feet but I think I was unconscious. Because I have no idea how I entered the flat. When I came to, I was sitting on a sofa. I look around to check. Anais is sitting right next to me. She probably cried a bit. Her eyes are red and slightly swollen.“Anais, were you crying?”“I was. You made me cry, again.” (Anais)She seems upset. I guess it’s only normal.“Sorry. I just had to test it out.” “Who tests it out lik

I was waiting to meet my savior while Anais is sticking close to me. I mean, why is she so close to me?“Anais, can you explain how your grandfather started working with a Japanese terrorist?” “That’s simple. After Akito busted them, the leader ran away. He went to Europe to get more help. However no one helped him. Because the Akito they knew was you.” (Anais)“It really was just a name problem. I was known as Akito so no one wanted to help him. And, what happened?”“The word of that man reached my grandfather. We knew who the real Akito was and who you were. So we teamed up with him to catch you. It took us a while to convince him that there were two Akitos.” (Anais)“Then you came to India where I was and abducted me. Did you send a word of my abduction to Akito?” “Yes. I think everyone knows by this time that you have been abducted. And this is a very simple plan so they have probably guessed as well what was happening.” (Anais)That’s true. So they won’t be coming. That’s a rel

Where am I? I open my eyes to check. It’s dark and I can’t see. I am lying on something soft and something soft is touching me. The pain is still coursing through my body.I try to move myself but something is grabbing me tightly. There’s a tickling sensation on my neck.The soft sound of breathing, this softness, it’s a woman.What’s the last thing I remember? I had just broken free and was very weak. Anais suggested something ridiculous and that’s it. I don’t remember anything after that.“Anais, wake up.” I call her name to wake her up. But her grip got tighter. She’s gotten stronger. “Anais, wake up. You are strangling me.” I try to tap my hands to wake her up. “A…”Her grip loosened and she sat up, rubbing her eyes.“You woke up…” (Anais)She is still a bit drowsy but she seems to have woken up.“Yeah. Where are we?” “I asked one of your followers to shelter us. He arranged this place for us and transported us here. Then you were treated. I have to say, you are something els

I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

After a good night’s sleep, I woke up. I don’t even know if a night has actually passed or not but I woke up exactly when my body usually tells me to. I will assume a night has passed. Constant, my so called creator, is sleeping on his bunk. I get out of bed and look for the kitchen. But wait, this is just a white room. Does this even have a kitchen?But my question was answered. A portion opened up and I could see a kitchen like space. It has everything a normal household kitchen has.Maybe it has everything necessary and for the ingredients, I open the fridge and find everything. It has different types of meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, all sorts of condiments and what not. Hell, even deserts were there. The fridge definitely uses spatial manipulation to store more things. I take out some eggs and bacon. I open the down drawer and find rice. Let’s have it for lunch. But now I need bread. I open the big metal door which was beside the fridge and see stairs.It leads

A few days have passed since all of those. I am back at my own house in the world I was born in. Mizuki, Mary, Selena and Nino live with me.Life has been well. I feel that my journey is over. But a sense of discomfort still lingers. Why do I feel so unsatisfied? I can’t describe this feeling. But something is amiss.Is it over? My story was such a short one. I can’t even believe it myself. The discomfort in me grows. All of them are out shopping. I am currently house-sitting. I am bored. Maybe that’s why I felt like that? I close my eyes and kinda doze of.◇◇◇◇◇“Wake up, Akatsuki.” I hear a voice. A man’s voice but it’s similar to mine. I open my eyes to find myself. Eh!! I am looking at myself.“Don’t make such a stupid face. I am not you.” The mysterious guy who looks like me says. But if he isn’t me then who is he?“This is the first time I am meeting you. You can call me whatever you want. Father, brother, god, author…anything you want. Because I am all of them.” What is th

Currently I am at my house. Mary and Mizuki have been summoned to this world as heroes. Selena came as Selene’s priestess. The Valkyries have become their guides and Medea is responsible for all of this.However, staying there was kind of uncomfortable so I teleported all of us to my house. My house is not big enough to house everyone so I expanded it with spatial magic.We are all sitting on sofas with me in the center. Mizuki and Mary are quite at me. Selene was talking to me and she sounded angry as well. Midway through, she changed with Selena. Medea is tittering and I am very tired.“Do tell me Akatsuki, what have you been doing these 5000 years?” (Selene)“It’s confusing if you keep changing with Selena. But mostly sleeping I guess. I went on a short trip after my deal was over and then came here, dug a hole and fell asleep. I woke up a few days ago when they found this place.”I point at the Valkyries. They became stiff. “So, you have been sleeping for 5000 years. Sounds total

And the day of the summoning came. As I promised, I am at the summoning point where Medea will summon them. The point is actually a platform which is inside the castle premises.I asked Medea if it was alright to come and she gave me her yes. I teleported immediately with Aisha, Belle and Leah in tow.When I finished teleporting, I was met with a small squadron of armed combatants. They were ready for something.And when I stood in the room, they pointed their spears towards me. I am tired of this. I see everyone is present. I see a gaudy chair on which a middle aged man is sitting. He has a different aura from the rest and is probably the king.He is sitting behind a big golden chair. Probably for Medea. When the king saw me, he jumped. I can see his veins bulging. I see Medea standing in the middle of a circular podium. She is smirking at me.“Medea, enough of your tricks. You clearly didn’t tell them that I was coming, did you?” She just stuck her tongue out and made an oops fac
