I took a break from writing, so I'm sorry for the delay, anyway please enjoy the chapter.

[Haa...haa] I pant

[Haha, that will do for today, good work] says Jaskus 

[Tyr, if you're done with practice then come get some food] Wolfram shouts out

[Okay!] I reply

I put my rapier away and run inside.

It has been five years now since I arrived here and not a lot has happened, recently Jaskus and Markus have been training me which is nice but unfortunately, they're weak. I mean compared to the rest of the guard they're currently the strongest but if it weren't for the 'hold back' skill I gained beforehand I might have killed them by now.

But anyway, I'm about ten now and today is the day the cooldown finally ends, I can't wait to finally use magic, maybe. I just wonder if I will actually be able to, but other than that I've gotten used to my new home and I've gotten closer with the guards and wolfram, he's like an older brother and he cares a lot about me.

Then there is Markus, we've talked a bit and he's quite sweet, apparently, he is a half-elf with his mother being a dwarf and his father an elf, he attended the royal military academy and got stationed here when he graduated but the only reason he was forced to enrol into the military is because of a lack of talent academically and in magic.

After I had eaten dinner, I went to my room and inspected my status with god eyes.

'Welp, call me mary sue, why so much, why no downside, couldn't I just use king's arrow rapid-fire and kill anyone I desire'

{That is incorrect, master. The ability: King's arrow, has a cooldown of 18 months and also causes extreme exhaustion}

I see, so it's not without consequence but still. Also based on the description, I assume gods would be immune, or at least most of them.

'Callista, can it kill gods?'

{Negative. However, it could seriously wound lower gods and kill most creatures including archangels.}

damn, that's pretty good.

'How many arrows would it take to kill a higher tier god?'

{hmm... maybe ten, but all of them would need to hit and within an hour or the god would have healed it off, also most of them have some kind of immortality and even if they didn't they would resurrect within a few years anyway}

'so it's pointless'

{pretty much}

well, it's still very good.

'Well anyway, I want to create a new skill'

{certainly, Master... Launching skill creation sub-system}

as it had previously the room turned white and my copy appeared, just as I had, she had grown and matched my current appearance.

[so master, what skill would you like.]

[a mana manipulation skill]

[I see... unfortunately, master there is only one option, dwarven mana control]

[I... I see. that is an annoyance]

[AH!] she screamed, holding her head in agony

[are you okay?] I calmly ask

[NO! Of course not. What d-does it look like!] she shook her head, burying her head in her hands.

[hmm... headache?]

she didn't respond, she just stood there, like a photograph, frozen in time.

Then

{system update in progress, please wait... complete, rebooting...}

{This update is courtesy of Talented, new options have been unlocked}

'interesting'

after a minute or two she began to move again, looking around confused. She then looked at me and quickly spoke.

[ah, master. I did not know you where here. I assume you desire a skill]

[um... we just had this conversation, have you forgotten.]

[I-I'm sorry but I do not remember. Anyway if you would like a skill, I can create one.]

[er... sure, mana manipulation]

[yes, master. here are your options]

[wait, can you list them in my voice rather than that telepathic one, it gets annoying]

[s-sure, the first is, er... dwarven mana control. The second is basic mana control. The third, demonic mana manipulation. The last one and probably the strongest, origin mana manipulation]

[This time I won't be tricked. I have questions, answer them honestly.]

[I will do my best, master]

[first, can basic mana control be evolved into either demonic or origin mana manipulation]

[no and yes, it can't be evolved into demonic mana manipulation but it can into origin]

[second, what are the cooldowns on those three?]

[demonic is 15 years and origin is thirty]

[what about the basic mana control?]

[er, t-that's... erm... it's 23]

[twenty-three what?]

[er... months] she whispered meekly

[then I'll have the basic mana control.]

[B-but the other two are really good!]

[I don't care]

[er, erm... ah, you realise that you can only have one kind of mana manipulation skill, right. If you take that one you won't ever be able to get the demonic one]

[hmm... nope, I'm still going for it. after all, you said that origin was the best and that basic mana control can evolve into it, so that's what I'll go for.]

[b-but... nevermind, fine if that's your decision.]

{installation process beginning... complete. manipulation of mana now possible... ability to use tattoo magic 0%, further evolutions required.}

[Haha, serves you right.] she jeered 

'tsk, I forgot to ask if it was even compatible'

[well I guess I will go to sle-] 

before I could finish my sentence I was interrupted by rumbling like thunder and the voice of the system

{Warning! Warning! Danger approaching! analyzing... Analysis complete, It's the Beast, It has woken up.}

'well this seems bad' as I thought this, a crack appeared in the corner of the white room and from it spread a dark, vile, thick mist. After a short while, the crack caved in and formed a small hole inside of which was endless darkness, not long after a deep booming voice emanated from within.

[I HAVE AWOKEN! My dear child, I'm sorry I made you wait so long. Ah, you might find this voice to frightening]

a moment later It started talking again, this time sounding softer and more feminine.

[I am most sorry if I scared you, dear child. but from now onwards you shall receive my blessing and also, unfortunately, my curse. I wish I could explain more but my time is short for I am weakened and cannot communicate like this for long, but just know I am sorry for what happens to you and I hope you can control it better than my last disciple. This is all for now, farewell my child...]

the voice faded, a bit later the hole and the crack resealed and most of the mist dispersed.

[well, that was... *pant* odd, what's *huff* going on, I feel hot.]

{it's seems the beast curse has increased, you must kill to release your urges.}

[No! I'm not going to be some monster! *pant* there must be another way]

{analysis beginning... complete, there is another option.}

[uh, well what is it.]

[erm, well master... sexual stimuli should help manage your heat]

[I-I see, well in that case come here]

[er, I'm sorry master but I cannot help you with this]

[well, of course, you can. did you not know that girls can do it together.] I say while walking over to her.

I grab her hand but rather than grasping anything, my hand just goes straight through.

[huh]

[see, master. I'm not real, so I can't help.]

[w-wait, then what should I do]

[you could just use your own hands. also don't you live with someone, couldn't you just ask them to help]

[W-wolfram! no way, he's... we're not in that kind of relationship!]

[doesn't he still wash you, I mean it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.]

[b-but I-] before I had any chance to talk, she cut me off

[well anyway, I'm out of here. good luck, master.]

with that, she and the room disappeared. for a while afterwards, the heat continued to spread throughout my body and the words she said lingered in my mind, all I could think of was wolfram, with me and him cuddling, kissing and more.

with the images of me and him circling around in my mind, the heat continued to grow and it became hard to think straight, with all of this I walked out of my room and down the landing, I was about to knock on his door but I came to my senses and crept downstairs and out the front door.

'Since I have these skills, it's about time I try them out, she mentioned at the time that I need to kill, but thinking clearer now, she never said it must be people'

I walked to my weapon rack and quickly decided on the bow, then as I jogged towards the reinforced door I thought 'wait, how am I actually meant to get out of here to hunt something'

with high stealth, I could easily sneak past the guards but the guards are on the other side of these walls and I have no way of getting over them, I could make a hole with an elemental arrow, probably. However, if I do that, it will become a witchhunt, with that much proof of my power, their fear will only become more justified.

the heat becoming more intense, I needed more information.

[callista, what spirits can I use with my archery skill]

{master, the currently available spirits you can control are, all of them. For example, fire spirits, ice spirits, lightning spirits, music spirits, space spirits, darkness spirits, the spirits of the hunt, just to name a few.}

[why did you have to name so man, but nevermind. Space spirits, they sound useful, especially right now, what can they do?]

{the space spirits are capable of controlling and disrupting the dimensional vale, they have a number of uses in both combat and for utility, for example, they could temporally tear the vale to create a portal, like a door to another place}

[I know what a portal is, anyway, this is just what I need, how do I use them.]

{that's easy, you just need to summon one and ask for its help, however, space spirits can be troublesome}

[it's no trouble I'll deal with it, I'm quite good with people, but how do I summon it, like is there something I need to say?]

{just call out for one and the skill will do the rest}

[er..okay. Space spirit... come to me?]

a pulsing purple light emanated from a rift in the air in front of me, and from it emerged a tiny little girl, with dark violet hair and purple dress, she was no bigger than a glass, she bowed and spoke in a light tone and quite high pitch.

[your majesty, it is an honour to be summoned and to work for you.]

she lifted her head to look at me [Who the hell are you! I was informed I was summoned by the spirit king, so what the fuck am I doing in front of this dwarf child]

[er, it was me who summoned you and you were probably told that it was the spirit king since I have the Spirit king's archery skill]

[ah, what! that makes no sense!... you know what, I'll take your word for it, I don't have the time for this. Now, tell me what you want]

[I need some help, I was hoping you could make a portal from here to outside the walls]

[seriously? as if, fuck that I can't be arsed. Now I'm out of here.]

[Wait! You have to help me!] with those words, she didn't react, just floating away, but something else did.

A bright light radiated from the back of her hand, to which she quickly reacted.

[No way! This is the king's mark, I'm not going to be that girl's servant and slave. Get it off, get it off!] she shouted and screamed whilst scratching at the mark.

Quickly the light faded and Callista chirped up

{Contract complete, the spirit has been bound to you.}

[what just happend]

{you bound them in a contract, the details of which I do not currently know, but generally, the creature bound would be forced to obey the others orders, normally however with spirits you need to get them to like you and do some kind of task for them, but with your skill, it seems you ignored this.}

[I see. excuse me but what is your name? we might as well have some introductions since we'll be working together from now on]

[M-my name! where do you get the cheek, and working together, what makes you think that I'd w-]

she stopped talking as the mark faintly pulsed and she soon returned to the tone she began with.

[Yes my queen, my name is Hybris, I look forward to working with you.]

[now, can you please help me with what I requested before.]

[Of course, I'm more than happy to help your majesty.]

she stood there doing nothing just watching me

[er, I'm kind of in a hurry, call it an emergency, so could you please do something]

[Are you an idiot!.. you need to use your bow.]

[a bit blunt of you, but thanks.]

I string my bow and nock an arrow, she then flew over and touched the arrow, it glowed a dull, dark blue light and emitted a low hum.

[now, just imagine where you want the portals and fire the arrow, I'll do the rest.]

I aimed toward the door and pictured one point there and the other on the other side of the moat, I drew the bow and released the arrow with the image in my mind of the two portals.

Just before it hit the door, it disappeared in a dull light, leaving behind a small void in the air.

{portal open, duration 9999991 seconds, you may close it at will and only those you permit may use it}

[Hybris, how do I use it. *pant* damn the heat's increasing] 

[erm, just touch it... are you ok?]

[I'll tell you later, there's no time.] I say while running over to the portal.

I reach out and place my hand on the void, suddenly I am on the other side of the moat.

[right, now where are the damn animals] my thoughts now shifting from mating to ripping people and animals alike, to shreds.

{master, I would recommend a spirit of the hunt, to help with tracking}

[got it, Spirit of the hunt, heed my call.] Immediately I feel a weight on my shoulder and look over to see a large orange mink.

It spoke up in a light-hearted, masculine tone.

[Hi there, so you the next king? hahaha, nah, I've already heard all 'bout you, dwarven girl. So, what can this humble one do for your majesty, hahaha.]

[I want to hunt something, but I need help finding it.]

[Ha, hide 'n seek, sound fun, count me in, so what is it that you're looking for? hares, deer, poultry or something more exotic?]

A golden collar appear around his neck

[anything, as long as it breaths and bleeds!] as I say this, I feel like I'm slightly losing control.

[Great! that makes things much easier and more fun] He jumps off my shoulder and sniffs around a bit before standing on his back legs, looking up to me [got a trail, herd of malice deer, remember to keep quiet will ya, follow behind me and stay low once we enter the forest.]

He scurries off and I follow not far behind, making sure to keep my stealth skill active, we enter the forest and quite aways in there was small glade, standing there were 9 very large deer-like creatures, their hide was a deep shade of red which bordered on black, they all had large, dull red antlers although one individual's were much larger and more intricate, most likely the stag, he shows a big difference, unlike the others who had smooth hide, he had more small horns or spikes protruding from all over his body, especially around the legs.

we had stopped behind some bushes while we watched them grazing on some red herbs and the stag was the lookout.

[right, make your first strike count, they're not called malice deer for nothin, as soon as they notice you they'll all charge you, that is unless you take out the stag, they use those antlers not only for goring things but also for a type of telepathy and the stag acts like the main receiver and transmitter but if you kill him it sends a feedback wave through the link and that will stun the others for a short time] The mink whispers to me

[right, so all I got to do is kill the stag.] I reply in a hushed voice

I nock an arrow and take aim at the stag's head, I draw my bow and release an arrow, it soars through the air and smashes into the stags face, after shattering his skull it barrels through and knocks down a tree before hitting and leaving a large crater in a huge bolder.

 [mmmmn] a moan escapes my mouth as I feel a wave of pleasure enter my body, my vision darkens and I lose consciousness.

---

I awaken in my bed, in fresh clothes. Sitting nearby is Wolfram and Markus, upon seeing me wake up wolfram smiled but soon returned to a slightly grim expression, Markus looked towards me and spoke in a serious tone

[You're awake, good. You need to see the captain]

[I see] I reply

I get out of bed and he leads me downstairs into the dining room, sitting at the table is Jaskus and on the table in a cage is the mink, I sit opposite him quietly.

[just before I begin just know that, for now, you're not in any trouble, but we do have some questions.]

I nod to show my understanding.

[right, I'll start with telling you what we know, this morning some guards found you outside, on the other side of the moat, covered in blood and sleeping on top of a mountain of corpses with this polecat on your chest. what we want to know is, how you did it and what happened?]

[erm... well-] and so I told him all I could remember, lying would only cause more problems and it's too much effort, I left out the scam system, however.

[so let me get this right, the beast awakened and it made you lustful and gave you bloodlust, then rather than dealing with it through masturbation, you went outside, picked up your bow and quiver and use a skill called spirit king's archery and summoned a space spirit to create a portal to the other side of the moat, then you summoned a spirit of the hunt, which is this mink here, then it led you to a herd of malice deer, which you then killed the stag of and then you blacked out and woke up here. is that correct?]

[yes] I replied meekly

[haaah... As unbelievable as your story is, we have a bit of evidence to back it up and very few ideas as to how you did so otherwise.]

I just sat there in silence, letting him speak.

[Like I said before you're not in trouble if anything we should be thanking you as we're getting a feast, and the other spare parts will be sold for quite a bit of gold, so from now on we will allow you to go hunting once per week in order to help keep the heat as you call it down, we would allow you to fuck that slave lad, but due to our country's laws you won't be able to for a couple of years yet. Anyway, this little guy's your's right?]

I nod and he opens the cage, the mink runs over to me and up my arm, wrapping around my neck.

[I missed you... that's right, I never asked you for your name, little mink.]

[I'm actually a polecat-mink hybrid, but anyway, the name's Polemos] the mink replied

[Wow, you weren't lying, a talking mink, he must be a spirit... or maybe a highly intelligent monster, but if you said you summoned him I'll believe you.] Jaskus commented, supprised.

[that right, I just remembered, Jaskus have you seen a little girl dressed in purple, she's no bigger than a cup.]

[don't worry 'bout hybris, she's just hiding in the vale, call for her and she'll appear.] Polemos answered

[I see, that's good]

[now, get dressed, you're late for training!] Jaskus light-heartedly shouted

[Yes, sir!] I replied

and so my weeks went on, unaware of the approaching presence.
