Uncle Gray bought me anything I wanted, and treated me like a princess.
Even though I was reserved and humble, I still pretty much got every toy every other girls had.Aunt Esther also did a lot of things with me. I was taught to cook, clean, wash, make, fix or the likes by her. I was even taught how to gossip, and gather information.Okay, the last one was a bit too much. But I was actually good at information gathering now. Helped me in being more aware of my soroundings.Then, there was big brother Damien. He... literally just became my everyday source of joy. My protector. My best friend. My crush. My everything.And yes, I would do anything for that man. Even to put on a dog leash, and let him walk me like a... ahem, ahem. Pardon. Let's move on.At the end, I grew up.And as a grown up woman, I could now live by myself, and fend for myself. This was my decision, and they supported it wholeheartedly...While making sure I was still close by.Thus, even as I lost my parents, I never lost my family. I still had people who loved me, and still cared dearly for me. No complaints from my side.Mom, dad, rest in peace.Your daughter is well taken cared off.Yes. Well taken cared off. That was so, until a moment ago, when something strange occurred to me while I was sleeping soundly on my bed.TING!!!A loud chime rang within my head, and shook me from my slumber. I could not explain it properly, but I felt it through both my soul and my flesh.It was as if I was submerged within the coldest pool of negative zero degrees, while a bell was rung, right besides my ears. Waking me up instantly like a frightened kitten.I swear it was loud, so loud it even woke up those who are deep sleepers as instantly as I. Or those my age, busy with their late night activities at the moment.I do not blame them. They are now adults, and could do a lot more than they were expected to do a year ago. I would too, but I am afraid to initiate it first.But that was of no importance, for as soon as I woke up, with my heart restlessly throbbing within my chest as if trying to jump out, I was caught off guard by yet, another surprise.[ Greetings all living beings. I am The Primordial Source of All Things. And I come in peace. I bring with me an Era of Genesis and Revolution ][ Those willing to change their lives for the better, please select the "Yes" option. Those not sure, please stay calm, and be sure later ][ Would you desire to initiate "Trials of Ascension"? ][ " YES " ][ " NO " ]"..."I was speechless.I, Flabbergasted, was.Dumbfounded, I was....I was confused actually. Sorry.I mean, what kind of trick was this? What sick psycho would dare do something like this? Late at midnight. At the bossom of the night. Who would believe this?I stared at the thing I thought was within my head in stupor, and speechlessness. I know that's not word, but it's not important. My shock was, though.Those were my thoughts in my moment of stupor. My entire being obviously trying to rationalize this experience, and calm my nerves and my frightened heart.And it was close to working.For, as I was about to completely calm down and assess everything properly, I heard a rough knock on my door, which further frightened me.Bam~ Bam~ Bam~ Bam~It was as if some beast was trying so hard, just to barge into my room, and ravage me into pieces. I was scared shitless. Of course I'd be scared!!Like people!! It's late at night, can't you all just sleep and dream peacefully?! Some of us are still maidens you know!!Hooh~ Anyway."Eeek!!"I let out a cute scream as I hurriedly hid within my blankets. Yes, I am a scaredy cat, a bit dramatic too, but so what?What else would you expect from a young woman who just came of age?...Okay, maybe I need help."Juliette!! Juliette!! It's me, open up."And help, seems to be here!!It was then, that I came out of my shock, and heard the voice I was probably dreaming to hear for ages, ring within my ears. Big brother Damien!! My superhero!! My idol!!He called out loudly and ruefully, knowing fully well I was in a state of panic due to the appearance of this strangeness, and his rough knocking.But I should have known better.Seconds later, I jumped out of the bed, not trying to be silent at all, and rushed towards the door with heavy steps. I made sure he was well aware of my response, even before I opened the door.And ta-daa, soon, the door was unlocked from inside, and once open, before he could even do anything or react at all, I did what any other fan girl would do..."Big brother Damiiieeeeen!!!"I flew.Rather, I recklessly threw herself into his arms, and tightly held onto him for my dear life, shamelessly pressing my whole body onto his."It's alright. It's alright. Let's go in, wear something proper and I'll explain everything to you." He did not seem to mind, and gently comforted me.My dear big brother Damien. I thought to myself, trying not to dramatically sob.Sobs of happiness of course.And with me in his arms, big brother Damien walked into my house and closed the door behind him. Then into my room, without any shame at all.I held onto him throughout the walk, for a while longer, and finally let go. I just realized that I only wore my thin nightgown. It was basically see through.My inner wear was clearly visible, and my beasts up for view. But I did not mind, and did not see anything wrong at all. He was probably used to watching my naked body by now.I moved away and changed my clothes. Of course in the exact same room as him.And he did not seem bothered at all. He just stared me down, with his sharp gaze, that held a hint of gentleness to them.And I liked that.Especially the way his eyes explored my bare body. It gave me slight chills, and caused my heart to palpitate in excitement.But I did change very quickly, for I could feel that he was in a rush. And I knew for a fact that, he was not impressed with my body at all. Sadly.Really, sadly. My poor pride..."Big brother, what is going on?" I quickly changed into a nice summer dress, that held my figure tightly at the waist area, and the stomach. It was sleeveless, and exposed a portion of my back.It emphasized my beauty, and perfectly plump figure. Not to brag, but I was actually quite the looker. As expected of my mother's daughter. Hehe~Big brother Damien stared me up and down, and I was eagerly awaiting his response. I mean, I wore this for him. Nobody else. Unfortunately..."Wear something that would be movable within." He responded plainly as he sat down on my bed. Moments later, he took my blanket into his hands and took a casual sniff at them."..."I wordlessly ignored that, and obediently changed as he ordered.I, likewise, also ignored the, "When last did you wash these sheets?" question that he followed up with."Now what?" I wore a tight black trouser that held my figure perfectly well. My curves were more prominent in this trouser than the dress.I also wore a skin tight simple plain white shirt. Held my chest perfectly fine. I turned around for him to check me out, and he casually nodded.I ultimately moved closer to him, and sat besides him. On my bed. That he seems to make his. Right after insulting my bed sheets.Speaking of bed sheets...I also sniffed at the sheets, and wondered why he would ask me such a stupid question. I mean, my sheets are not that bad. I washed them last weekend you know?!"Alright, here's the thing." He faced me and sternly began to speak.I also threw out any irrelevant comment I had at the moment, and listened attentively to his coming words.You know, he actually looks more handsome when he is... wait, wait, focus girl, focus!!I completely focused on his words, but they only pissed me off. "I don't have much time to explain things to you properly, since you were changing your clothes like the little princess you are.""Excuse me? Little?" I responded back, clearly offended at his words. Like seriously, big brother... I have grown. In many areas."So I'll just cut to the chase." He ignored me. Oh wow."What this thing says, is true. You, and I, right now will accept its offer. Once done, I'll have all the time in the world to explain myself to you." "Is that clear, Julie?" Oh? I looked up at him, seemingly caught up into his gaze. Those words felt so dreamy, I was hallucinating hearing him say it again. "Is that clear, Julie?" His eyes softened at me as he spoke, standing up at the same time. Ah? So I was not hallucinating? I continued to look up at him. He was also staring down at me, and honestly, it was giving me shivers. Of excitement. Do they even exist? "Yes." Anyway, that was all I could say to him. I even wanted to say more, like... no wait, I'm losing focus of the main point here. "Alright. That's great then." Big brother Damien nodded to himself, and went to lock the door to my house. Ah, I had forgotten to lock after he brought me in. How clumsy. Not like there was anything secretive we wer
She still had no idea what was actually going on here though. But she chose to place absolute trust in Damien. Her idol and her superhero. Though she might not know, she was going to find out soon enough. No. She was about to find out instantly!!! Boom~ From a river of lava not far away from the duo, a small explosion occurred. It kicked up a splash of orange-red lava up to two to three meters into the sky. Then from the lava, an egg-like object flew out. It was three meters tall, and one and a half meters wide. It was also formed from the lava of the river, making it seem vivacious. "What... what is that?" Juliette held on tightly to Damien, almost sinking her fingers into his flesh. Damien did not respond at first, and just kept up his daring smile. Moments later, he opened his mouth. But Juliette would come to dislike the words he was about to say. "If I'm correct, the rumored devil." He said. It was not a devil though, but a demon. Th
So what the hell was he supposed to say? "I think you scream out yes or something." He ultimately shrugged his shoulders as he suggested. Esther nodded at his words and inquired back. "Like this? Yes." She said the last word a bit loud, with conviction and determination. Woosh~ And along those words, bright light bloomed around her body that sorounded them. David was caught off guard and hurriedly covered his eyes in shock. Moments later, the bright light receded and Esther was nowhere to be seen. "..." David was now more than just speechless. He stared at the location Esther used to be at, and immediately clicked his tongue. "Oh shit. Yes." He also said the same word, with conviction and determination as well. He was chasing after his wife, hoping that they would be going to the same place as his son said. But he doubted it. For he remembered his son's words, "You should accept it to
He sidestepped the sneak attack and was about to pull back, when a powerful fist smashed towards him. Fortunately, his fast reflects kicked in, causing him to block the incoming fist with his arm. But the brutally damaged hand of the demon still landed on him, and sent him sliding back across the floor, a few meters away. Luckily for him, Damien managed to keep his body stable and did not fall over even as the momentum pushed him back. He was as sturdy as a mountain against the wind. 'Superhuman Strength alright. It's ability is not for show.' He thought as he stood up and adjusted his posture. The daring smile still on his lips. "..." Juliette, who had her heart stuck at her throat in fright, finally breathed in a sigh of relief. She once again realized she was still weak. She could not even follow their attack patten at all. Meanwhile, Damien checked his arm and saw that even with Superhuman Strength, the demon could not
*** Juliette Silver *** I could not believe what I was laying my eyes upon. It was just unbelievable. My big brother Damien, my idol, my superhero... Happens to not be so heroical. It's hard to believe, yet not impossible. We grew up under gore. And the young men grew up fighting at the young early age of seven or nine years old. They grow up under bloody circumstances. Their views would of course be twisted. Especially so, when some of them are taught to be nothing but war machines that only know how to fight for their race. Damien Gray, being one of the most perfect specimen of that subject. So big brother being like this, is not much of a surprise? Yes, it is not. I, myself, was just caught off guard. Just a bit. That was all. I just could not believe that my idol, happens to be completely different to what I always dreamed about. I felt betrayed. But... once again, I und
Meanwhile, Damien was wondering how Juliette from back then managed to defeat her opponent. This trial was fair, hence Juliette's trial should be human friendly. So, what the f*ck was that?! Damien thought to himself. From what he could guess, that thing was a spirit. Thus it had physical damage immunity, and could dish out long range attacks. To sum, them as humans, were weak and invulnerable against it. Now, how did Juliette, who was fragile, pass such a trial back then? How did she pass such difficulty by herself? Damien thought and thought, and it did not take long for him to come to a conclusion. Wits. She must have outsmarted the spirit, and using something against it. But what? He thought while scouting the environment with his eyes. Yes. The terrain. As for why he was so sure that she was at the same environment as this one, he was not. He was just betting on it himself. And since he came to a co
It did not believe that Damien would stay behind the same rock after being given so much free time. It was completely on guard. It surveyed the environment. Yet could not find even a single area where it could pin point where Damien was. Nor where Juiette was. The spirit saw her as harmless, yet not stupid. It knew that she was also given so much free time. Hence why it riled up two fireballs within each palm of its hands. While doing nothing but surveying the environment with full focus. Pity... what the spirit failed to take into consideration, was the dying body of the demon that it had unintentionally rescued. It was missing. It's focus was more on Damien. And Juliette in second place. While the demon? It did not even care about its life, let alone its corpse. Unfortunately for it, the demon was a crucial part of Damien's current plan. And the very reason why the spirit would lose its life right abou
*** Narrative *** Right after Damien threw the rock away, which was to act as a decoy, he ran. He ran as fast, and as silently as he could. Unleashing all of his potential, crossing tens of meters every second. Thus the few seconds the spirit was distracted, he covered over a hundred meters, and arrived behind it. It was also the time the spirit began surveying the soroundings. But he did make sure to pick up the demon that he had left alive, or was forced to let live. He was now hiding with it behind a large triangular boulder. And he did not waste much time. Using his bare hands, knowing that Juliette was not watching, he dug his fingers into the demon's oval head. His monster grip easily tore through its flesh, and he ripped it apart. His hands were covered in green blood, and it was gushing out of the demon's head in tides. But he cared not for it. It's life was completely drained out of it
