Larm Forest, the WestAnother lazy, calming day in Larm. Another day filled with lush green and animals going about their regular lives. Another day filled with peace under the Tyrants rightful protection. At least it was supposed to be.“What are thou doing!?”Goliath’s voice boomed in the skies above as he looked at the man in black armor whose breath had caused all the destruction in the forest.The trees had been incinerated and most of the animals were either dead or severely injured. The burning corpse of one of the wolves laid lifelessly under the heel of the assaulter. He wore jet black armor and carried a massive claymore on his back. His carried a giant cracked helmet with horns on it that made him seem like a demon.The black knight looked at the six feet tall dragonoid in all his dragonic might. However, when Goliath went even closer, he found himself looking up at the giant of a man.“What art thou doing here, Fafnir? Why art thou destroying my forest?”“Oh, little Goliat
‘Not if I have anything to say about it.’VWOOSHHH!I shot a pillar of fire at the necromancer, forcing her to jump back away from Zana. A pillar of flames appeared behind me and in it was Zana, slowly healing up. I landed on the ground and sized up the necromancer.‘What? What just happened?’She was thinking. I grinned then fired off some bolts of lightning at her. The necromancer rose up a blue aura wall which nullified my attack, but I had already fired up a ball of fire into the sky that floating about. With this light came the shadows. I used my own shadow to travel behind the necromancer and slashed at her with [Black Ursula’s Obsidian Claws], [Spiky Claw], [Fiery Kick], [Crush] and [Destroy], ripping apart a quarter of the necromancer’s abdomen. However, my leg was now stuck in it and her neck had twisted about to see me.‘I see. So, you can do even this at this stage.’‘I can do a lot more you creep!’I activated [Size Manipulation] to make myself three times as big and shove
Minerva rushed over to her fallen ally whose eyes were struggling to stay open. Goliath spat out some of his teeth in a mess of blood with Minerva had to avoid.‘R-Run.’He told her while he was still on the ground. Attempting to get up was failing him and for some reason his entire body refused to move. Maybe it was because he had never known so much pain in his life. It felt like he really should have died from that one hit.KINK. KINK.The black knight’s armor clanked as he approached Minerva to see who had come. He was shocked to find the albino goblin and dismissed her existence immediately.‘Leave, little one. Goliath does not wish for me to destroy others, is that not so?’He sent the message directly into her head so that she could hear. With his attention towards Goliath, he rubbed Goliath’s mouth.“I was certain you could tank that. I see, all you’ve been doing over the centuries is lazing about with that supposed “Mental Meditation” crap that human taught you.”Fafnir scrat
“GOLIATH!”Minerva’s cracky voice managed to overshadow all the chaos going on around them. A burning tree fell down in front of her, completely blinding her from what was happening. She kept sniffing and struggling on the ground. The tears that escaped her eyes were coming out in floods.“Not again! Not again! Hyyyaaaa!”She kept screaming, the sight of Goliath’s death kept repeating itself in her head in that moment. Many feelings and thoughts swirled in her heart and mind. Again, she wasn’t able to stop anyone from dying. Her mother died, but she honestly couldn’t care less at first. Then her father followed suite. Next the village of dark elves that raised her had been destroyed. The spirit that used to talk to her was nowhere to be seen. In fear and anger, she went away from Gorm. Maybe that was when the idea that she was a curse to those who loved her started, but she didn’t take it seriously. She made a new friend, Fang. Then Fang died.At that point she had decided she was ind
“Ow!”BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!“Ow! Ow! Ow! Would you stop that?”Fafnir lifted Minerva up to keep her fists from hitting his stomach.“Stop it.”She kept swinging her hands at the air, sending shockwaves that were nothing more than a breeze to him.“You will not be able to injure me, you know?”“RAAAAAAARR!”“You have terrible breath.”Fafnir raised his eyes and looked at her. In contemplation, he hummed for some time before coming to a conclusion. His claymore whizzed into his hand. A rip sounded as he cut open Minerva’s stomach with his weapon and her golden blood flowed out.“You are going to be in a lot of pain.”His sword was suddenly ablaze with white flames that went right through Minerva’s wound and into her body, burning her up from the inside. Minerva’s pained cries boomed throughout the burning forest. Even the villages that bordered the forest could hear her cries, as well as see the forest fire.Most were scared, unaware of what would happen later on.__________________________
No, no, no, no! What was happening? Was Minerva, ok? What was that weird feeling from earlier? Was it all connected? And the person who just entered my head. Who was she?While those questions came to mind, the darkness started to feel suffocating. I couldn’t breathe and there was a crippling fear in me. It felt like I was actually about to die. Suddenly, I could feel wind in my face. My body was in a ton of pain and it was getting cold. There was this uneasy feeling, like I was falling.Slowly, I opened and my eyes, and there I noticed that clouds were passing me by at high speeds.‘Fufu… I’m falling. Why’s this so funny?’‘Don’t know, don’t ask me.’Akira chimed in.I was literally plummeting to my doom, yet the pain made me feel like I shouldn’t care less. And the number of higher beings looking over me from beyond death made me feel like I really could do anything, and they would simply bring me back to life. There was no point in trying my hardest.‘Oh yeah. Before I forget. This
“What’s up with you two?”Mitsuki asked while licking her ice cream and watching the afternoon anime. Akane sat at the far side of the couch and so did I, not even managing to watch the television. This was something that happened the last time and I was hoping to prevent. The first benchmark in Akane’s descent into degeneracy! And it was my fault.“I-I don’t know what you mean, Mitsuki.”I said.“Disgusting, horrible, evil, vile, pervert.”Akane shot hurtful statements at me.[You have lost 100 Health points!][You are dead!]I died on the spot. That was how the system would have probably reacted to any of it.“Come on, you can’t be angry at me forever.”“Can too.”“Cannot.”“Can. Too.”She said with more intent than ever.“I-Is there any way to make it up to you?”“Haa~ Nii-chan, nii-chan, nii-chan. You still fail to understand the heart of a woman. At this rate I pray you have enough money to pay a prostitute to have your baby.”Mitsuki was patting my back.“When did you get here?!
“Master Seiko, your breakfast is ready.”One of the maids said to him. Seiko was sweating intensely while performing some lift-ups in the training area. He jumped down the moment he heard the food was ready and moved to grab a towel. The maid snuck glances at the bare-chested young man and smiled wickedly.The way his muscles moved with every swing. The eight-pack on his stomach as well as the big chest he carried under his broad shoulders. The scar over his heart which showed he had been in a near-death situation at least once. And the way all the sweat on his body made it seem like he had been washed in oil to show his body well. ‘So hot!’She screamed internally with hearts for eyes, while maintaining a straight appearance.Seiko however, noticed her secondary thoughts, but voiced nothing while feeling incredibly uncomfortable.‘I need to find a new training spot.’“SEIKO!”Someone cried out his name and the doors leading to the room burst open with a purple shimmer. Jasmine came
