78- Armelia's story “I am a Lamia.” Wait, what? Not waiting for me to process the information, Armelia continued, “Ever since I was born, I have been raised in the dark forest and I have practically spent my whole life here. I always wondered how big the world was.” “And one day, I heard that there were humans who lived outside of the forest and a few stories related to them. As I had nothing to do here in the forest, I collected information related to places outside the dark forest. Gradually, my wish to explore the outside world increased, so much that I could not control myself and went to my mother.” “But when I asked my mother about this, she denied me and warned that I should not step out of the dark forest. But I was not able to control my feelings and ran away from the home. But I did not know the way out of the forest and so I was stuck, but I finally met you.” “After that, you know the story.” So, practically she was bored of her everyday life and she decided t
79- Armelia's mother “Armelia, it is alright now, your mother is here. Don’t cry, I will not let anyone harm my daughter.” Hearing this, Armelia started crying even more. So, the woman was Armelia’s mother. Armelia’s mother gently consoled Armelia, while caressing her head. After a few moments, when Armelia calmed down, she opened her mouth. “Mother, I...I...” Armelia’s mother placed a finger on Armelia’s mouth and spoke, “Shush. I know, I know everything. I already knew that you ran away from the home, so I sent a few of the guards behind you. Anyway, we will talk about this later and you, get ready for the punishment. And we should get back soon, as I can see your friend over there is seriously injured.” Hearing about the ‘punishment’, Armelia’s face showed that she was scared but when she heard about Orochi, she quickly looked in his direction and saw that Orochi was lying unconscious. Seeing this, Armelia ran towards him and pushed away the two humans who were h
80- A Good News and A Bad News After Armelia finished the flashback, she then said, “So, we brought you here and you have been unconscious for 2 whole months. We tried curing you, but due to the poison in your body, the healing process is extremely slow.” “But I have good news for you. My mother told me that your poison can be cured.” Said Armelia with a broad smile. Hearing this, my whole body trembled with shock. And just as I was doubting if this was a dream, the pain which came told me that it was not a dream. But nonetheless, I asked, “Are you speaking the truth?” Seeing my excitement, Armelia replied happily “Yes, I am telling the truth. Hee-hee...” Hearing this I could not control my happiness and I wanted to hug Armelia, but just as I moved, an extreme pain brought me back to reality. Seeing this, Armelia hastily said, “Orochi, don’t move. You have to focus on recovering. My mother told me that she will help you in removing this poison after you recover.”

82- Meeting Armelia's mother 2 After Armelia exited the room, I calmed down and then got back to the ‘Inventory’ window. As the ‘Consume’ function was switched on, the ‘Inventory’ had a small change. That is – On the item slots which belonged to items that were consumable like HP and MP potions, had a new small button labeled as ‘Consume’ available. So, I clicked the button mentally and consumed a (level 2) HP potion. (You know the ‘mentally’ stuff, right? Like they can perform certain actions mentally without any physical activity. I am telling you people this because you might comment – How did he click when his bones are broken and he is unable to move?) And as the number of (level 2) HP potions decreased by 1, I felt a mildly sweet liquid appearing in my mouth, flowing through my throat and then to my stomach. And after a moment, the system notification rang, ‘ding’ ‘+500 HP’ And at the same time, I felt like, my body was like a thirsty human and it received chill
83- Meeting Armelia's mother 3 After speaking a few more sentences, I convinced Armelia that I was completely healed. Then I requested her to let me meet her mother and discuss the cure for the poison. To which Armelia happily agreed and we both started walking towards her mother’s house. While we were on our way, I came across many wooden huts and small houses made of mostly wood. Even the room I was in, was made up of wood. And the houses looked ‘not so shabby’ but of course, one cannot also complement their infrastructure. Along the way, I saw many Lamias of different ages, from small children to old women. And everyone looked at me curiously and even some children came to me slithering. (Here, Slithering means the way a snake moves.) They were really cute. While there were also a few female Lamias, who winked at me and tried seducing me. But as much as they looked beautiful and any normal man would be tempted by this, but I was not free and I was sincerely scared
84- Deal “Hello, Orochi. My name is Sheela. I have heard a lot about you from my daughter’s mouth. Thank you for taking care of Armelia.” Said Armelia’s mother, also called Sheela. “Ummm... yea...” I could not think of a proper answer because it was hard to maintain eye contact with Sheela, as she was so attractive and I feared that they might find my stare/look similar to that of a pervert. “Fufu... Looks like your boyfriend is shy.” Hearing this I just laughed awkwardly and Armelia who was beside me replied in a stuttering voice “Ahh... Aunt Bertha, he... he is not my boyfriend. And I won’t ever talk to you if say that again.” “fufufu... my niece is getting angry with her aunt, huh? Alright then, I will not tease you in front of your boyfriend then.” “AHHH... Aunt!!! Go, I won’t talk to you anymore.” With that Armelia ran out of the room. Seeing her running away, I was startled because Armelia was a link between Sheela and me. And if she was not present, it wo
85- Wishwa Saakshi oath I replied without any hesitation “Yes, I accept it. As long as you don’t ask for my life and don’t ask me to be your slave, I accept any condition that you have.” Actually, if there was someone else in my place, then he/she would have also added a point like – as long as your condition does not endanger my life, I will accept. But I did not add this point because, as they are putting conditions in front of me then it is most likely that there will be a condition where I will have to risk my life. Also, I want to train myself in life and death situations, so these kinds of things are the best situations. Seeing me accept their demands, Bertha and Sheela looked at each other and smiled cunningly. Just looking at that smile, made me feel that they have plotted something but since it is my problem, I will have to brace for any hurdle that will come ahead. Sheela turned to me and said, “Very well then. How about we perform the (Wishwa Saakshi) oath
