"Haa~ that was refreshing!" Drake said as he sat down beside the fire, remembering to keep his voice down a moment later.

He glanced over at tha tent were the little girl was asleep. After eating her dinner she immediately closed her eyes curled up and fell asleep. She didn't react at all when he picked her up and put her inside the tent. That made him feel like she no longer saw him as a threat.

With Lily asleep he went and done something he'd been thinking about the whole day. He took his clothes off and washed himself in the rever, removing the bandages and herbs he had placed on his wounds. His clothes were dirty and damaged but thankfully he made sure to have some spare on him.

The night was a bit cold. Wrapping himself in a cloak Drake stared at the fire letting his thoughts settle on their own. What concerned him the most was the notification he got that morning telling him that Lily has joined his party. Does that mean the system had recognized her as a normal human despite

    Having lived in the forest for a long time, Lily had learned to wake up right before sunrise. She didn't have the luxury to stay asleep for long as she needed to gather her own food.When she opened her eyes she found herself in a strange place. She was on the ground and something warm was covering her. Normally she'd have to rely on her tail when things got cold, blankets weren't something she knew about. However for the past two days she found herself wrapped in those strange things and since he used one as well she realized the human was the one who covered her.That wasn't the only strange thing she noticed though. Lily was sure she'd fallen asleep on the ground near the fire, however now she was inside some strange space made from wood and cloth.Spotting the exit she quickly stood up and went outside. To her surprise she was inside the strange thing the human had build before making dinner last night.She didn't understand at the time, however when the cold morning breeze brush

    When Drake woke up he found Lily waiting beside him with a handful of berries on a large leaf. Thanking her he tasted one then started preparing breakfast."You don't have to go gathering, you know." He said, not knowing if the child understands him.The two sat down and ate. Once they were done it was time to depart, however before that Drake stopped Lily and took out something from his inventory."Walking barefoot will harm your legs." Drake knelt before the little girl who was sitting on a ro rock. "For the time being, you should wear this."It was a crudely made pair of sandals with a piece of leather for the soles and ropes to hold it in place. Lily seemed hesitant about letting him touch her feet, though since she didn't know how to put them on on her own she let him do it for her.With the sandals on the little girl stood up and began walking around. The sand and pebbles scattered on the ground no longer bothered her and though she has yet to get used to it it was better than

    "That was… something…" Having defeated the Greenhorn Drake swiftly landed and checked the map. It seemed that although he made quite a bit of noise no new beasts had showed up. He turned in the direction where Lily was hiding and called. "Lily! You can come out now!" A moment later the little girl peeked from behind the bushes, her eyes going wide seeing the beast defeated. Putting aside the twin daggers Drake begann rotating his eight arm. It was just a B tier beast. Though it had a somewhat high level it shouldn't have been that much trouble to handle. I'm not at my best… Though he didn't know it himself, losing to the Doomsday Herald had impacted his confidence in his abilities and though the injuries he had suffered in that fight had healed his mental state has yet to recover. "Alright!" Drake said as he walked toward the dead Greenhorn. "Let's get to preparing this thing." Taking out a knife he sliced the deer like beast's neck letting blood flow out. He realized a bit

    "... eat this." Drake's serious tone and look caught the Lily off guard shaking her out of her daze.She gazed at the glowing greed orb then looked up at Drake. They already had dinner and her belly was full, because of that she found it wierd that he was trying to feed her something else.Though reluctant she took the orb and the moment it touched her little hand she felt something. Suddenly all hesitation went away and she brought the Soul to her mouth, taking a bite then another before putting the rest in her mouth."... so… how do you feel?" Drake asked.For a moment he thought that maybe feed ing her a Beast Soul wasn't that good of an idea. He didn't know how it'd affect her especially when her status screen didn't have the usual Main Soul listing. However the fact that her kind is capable of using magic without relying on Beast Souls meant that the orbs, which are accumulations of Magical Essence, would strengthen them somehow. Or at least he hoped it would.Lily stayed silent

    Arriving at the camp were two familiar faces. A pink haired girl with one long braid and a tall muscular man."Drake!" Laura exclaimed the moment the boy came into sight. She was about to jump at him, happy to see him alive, but even in her exclusive she managed to hold herself back."You survived." Said Roland, eyes wide with amazement."Of course I did." Drake said. "Well, I barely escaped with my life."The three sat down around the fire and talked about what happened after they were separated. Roland and Laura returned to the mining town to get reinforcements, however when people heard about a giant black dragon they all looked away.The Doomsday Herald was the king of mount first wound. Usually it wouldn't move from its nest at the top of the mountain. The reason why the Hunters in the mining town refused to helf was that they know facing a king was futile, though they played it as being on guard in case it attacked the village.Still, some were rallied into going, driven by curi

    "Wha…" Drake was shocked to say the least. What Ronald had revealed was something he never thought about much less considered as a possibility. Just as he opened his mouth to speak however he felt something press on his side.It seemed like the little one was unable to stay awake any longer and had fallen asleep. Seeing her adorable sleeping face cooled down the anger that had been building inside him. He took a few seconds to place her in her bed before returning to his place in front of the fire. In a way he was glad that she didn't understand what they say. Worst of all was that he found it completely logical for things to be the way they are. Humans would seek power no matter how cruel they have to be to get it, even if they have to kill each other to get it. The fact that Beastkin had some things in common with Magical Beasts was the best excuse for those after their power. Even if they're called out for their cruelty they can just wave it aside saying a beast in the shape of a

    The three continued their discussion well into the night and by the time they knew it they could already see the first light.After waking up Lily was still on guard against Laura and Roland. Drake had made sure to warn them that if they did anything to hurt her he'd hunt them down, however he didn't really need to as they didn't seem the kind to kill a kid even with the temptation of an SSS grade Soul being so strong.Roland already had all the power he needed and Laura didn't seem so keen on eating Souls from Beastkin after learning of what they really are.Once they had their breakfast the party headed toward the mining town at the base of mount First Wound after which they took a carriage back to Ouroboros' capital.It was funny to watch Lily's reaction to the new environment. Of course seeing so many humans for the first time terrified her and she'd been clinging to Drake the entire time. She seemed to like the ride on carriage though so her mood brightened once they were on the

    A lot of things happened after the battle against the Dragonspears. When they reunited with the others, Drake learned that Peter had saved Edda and her hound as well. Turns out the two were actually in a secret relationship and she was the one who came up with the whole plan of destroying his contract and escaping. Apparently she was of a rare race of Beastkin that possessed healing abilities. Since her bloodline was too valuable the Dragonspears wanted to make her a part of their family instead of enslaving her then harvesting her Soul. Healers were a rare commodity so even if they're Beastkin they're always treated well. That said, she couldn't get over the fact that she was sold like an object and was looking for the perfect opportunity to betray them. The weirdest part of all was that she had fallen in love with Peter despite him being nothing but a cloud of smoke. Drake was confused about how they planned on making it work, however the girl said that a magic that allows Beastki

    "Why…?" Rollo asked his voice hoarse. He was on the ground, his lower half was lost, both of his arms as well. His wounds were frozen preventing him from regenerating. The frost was spreading killing his cells one by one. "I dont really know what you were expecting." Drake said, scratching the back of his head. He hated Rollo. Killing him was only natural. Still, seeing a kid laying on the ground having suffered such grave injuries Drake almost felt bad for him. Almost. He wasn't about to feel sympathy toward someone who planned to enslave him. "I… thought… we could be… friends…" the boy struggled to speak. His lips had turned blue and the breaths he struggled to release with each word turned into white fog. "I wanted you… by my side… we could've… we could've ruled… the upper realm…" "Friends? That's a really bad joke." Drake snorted, mocking the idea. "I only saw you as the bastard who wants to turn me into a weapon. I guess you have succeeded in that regard. Bet you didn't exp

    Something about Rollo began to change. The aura covering his body began to fluctuate. He dropped his spear and his blue eyes turned bloody red. Drake heightened his guard. He felt that something odd was happening.The red haired boy had used the effects of the redacted title to force his main Soul to evolve. It was a Red Dragon. Though the name was simple, it was the Soul of one of the seven primal beasts that once ruled over the upper realm, the ones that put an end to the first Eternal Night. The final stage of its evolution is the Light Dragon. It was as rare as the Eternal Night, never found in the wild and can only be reached by cultivating the beast Soul with the help of the system. All of the other Souls Rollo had assimilated were consumed to gather enough Essence for the evolution. The forced process did the same to him as it did to Drake and caused him to lose control as he entered the second stage of assimilation.Scales began to grow on his arms and legs. A thick white t

    The moment Drake chose the YES option everything suddenly went black. He couldn't see or feel, it was as if he was pulled out of his body, left as an accumulation of thoughts without a physician form. Time passed. He didn't know how long but at some pont he opened his eyes and looked around him. The black castle was a mess. Corpses everywhere missing most of their remains. Weapons of different types and sizes, broken and destroyed. Armor and shield thrown around bent into unknown shapes. What caught his attention the most were the crystals scattered around and the strange artifacts here and there. They didn't look like anything he recognized. Little did he know what they were magic weapons that had been used on him. The black castle was destroyed. Most of its buildings had crumbled. The walls surrounding it rendered to dust. Upon further inspection Drake noticed white flames here and there eating at anything that had yer to burn. Thay was enough of a clue for him to tell what had

    Drake Went around hunting the apprentices looking for him. He approached them peacefully then took the chance to erase them using his void hand. Sadly it didn't go that well till the end. As he was erasing the forth one the fifth saw it and took off. Drake was unable to catch up with him and he ended up warning the servants who went around warning the other apprentices or guards. It was a shame that he couldn't go about it in a more quiet manner, but nothing could be done about it. Tossing the oil lamp he was carrying, drake coated both of his arms in the black flames. He faced the oncoming enemies and prepared to attack."What are we supposed to do!?" One off the guards asked. "He's an important guest of the lord, right?""They said he had killed some apprentices. Until we do a more thorough investigation we have to restrain him for now!"They didn't have to wait though as they got the proof they needed soon enough. The first guard to approach Drake had half of his body erased. Dra

    Drake gave Layla and Lily a few minutes to have their reunion, however they needed to move quicker so he told them to save it for a later time. They needed to get moving before the main members of the Dragonspear family are informed of his disappearance.

    "Alright." The shadow said. "Everything is in place. Let's get going."Drake took a deep breath then nodded. The time to execute the plan has come and so the two began to move. The shadow enveloped Drake teleporting him to the first location."... Drake?" Layla said, seeing her the boy fall out of the sky.Roland was there as well, taking a fighting stance the moment he saw the strange shadow."We got no time. Come with me." Drake said. Without asking any questions the two came closer and were enveloped by the shadow as well.The next time they opened their eyes they were in an unfamiliar location. Roland was on his knees in no time, struggling to breath. Layla was able to tell they were in the upper realm, and not just anywhere but in a Nexus point where magical Essence was concentrated the most."We are going to revive Lily." Drake said, opening his inventory and taking the little girl's soul. "Wait. What's going on? Isn't this… too sudden?" Layla asked."I'll go keep an eye on th

    "So? How are we going to do this?" Drake asked. "You're asking for my help so you should already know how to remove the curse, right?" "Huh? Do you believe me now?" The shadow spoke, his voice containing a hint of joy."Nope. I didn't even decided whether to help you or not." Drake said, waving a dismissive hand. "First of all, let's hear what you have. I'll decide after I hear your plan."... okay, that work just fine, I guess." The shadow said with a sigh. "When I was still a kid someone sold me to the Dragonspears. The slavery contract is a magical item that binds me to the one who signed on it, the family head.""You arent going to ask me to kill him, right?""Of course not!" The shadow exclaimed. "Well, it is one of the possible solutions, however killing that monster is impossible. Our only choice is to find the contract and destroy it.""So? Why dont you do it already?" Drake asked."Because I can't." The shadow replied. "I can't defy my owner, remember? That means I can't bre

    "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT DRAKE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!" The shadow was really pissed off. He had barely managed to teleport them outside the cave before it collapsed. Now they were in the field with the new Frost King's corpse Rollo had killed a while ago."You could've gotten us both killed!" The shadow went on, berating Drake for his unreasonable actions. Drake didn't give him much thought, gripping his sword and preparing to continue his attacks."What the fuck do you think you're doing!!?""I don't? Killing the bastard who's trying to use my dead brother to make me do something?" Drake said, cauting his blade with the black flames."I am your brother!" The shadow said. "Well, I did die and got reborn so I guess you have a point. But it's really me! You gotta believe me!""Yeah right." Drake went on to attack, swinging his sword again and again. "You're still as crazy as ever." The shadow said, swooshing here and there avoiding the flurry of attacks. "Did you like this world? Vi
