Loading... please wait.

Gazing at the chaotic battle, the Human side only has the princess and her 2 personal guards left.

"Quickly, get things done and leave no track!" Thalma said in a commanding tone.

I know it's a commanding tone, but I couldn't understand what he said at all. Sigh, is this my punishment for wanting to have a game being realistic? Shouldn't Learenia just give me an Auto-Translate Skill or something?

This time I heard the girl voice which sounds quite masculine, probably due to the Voice Changer, "We have to hold on! I already gave a signal for the nearby patrol team! The reinforcements will be here soon!"

"Yes, prince!" The 2 guards replied unitedly and decisively.

Yeah, I don't understand what they said at all.

Distracting by their language, I lost a couple more seconds. Realizing this, I wasted no more time and chanted the skill 'Raven's Form'!

A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling enveloped me. My whole body structure started to change. My heigh was shorten by a bit and my figure began to turn feminine. My chest turned bigger and my black hairs got lengthen to my waist. My clothes also changed into a samurai-looking gown with the color of blood red and deep black.

Only one thought came to my mind, "WHAT?!"

This is the exact feeling I had had when I woke up the first time inside the forest.

In fact, my body turned into my game character, Raven, The Celestials Befeller!

What's going on? I thought my wish was 'The power of my game character', not 'To become my game character'!

It's gone... the thing that symbolized my manhood is gone! Replacing it with 2 melons on my used-to-be-bare chests... No! There is no time! I have to stop thinking about indecent things! I have to secure their safety first and do some 'research' later!

Exhaling my breath, I tried to clear my mind and let my instinct take over. Without proper training, there is no way I could fight proficiency without losing any balance while using Raven's body and strength.

My character's main class is the Sword Saint. I can use all types of swords, but the last time I logout was when Raven was holding a Katana. That's why right now I'm using a Katana and wearing a Samurai gown to match my current weapon.

Clearing my mind, I started to make my move.

Dashing out of the white forest towards the encircled carriage, the Katana in my right hand moved so fast that it left countless afterimages and shockwaves. The strength, destructiveness, and swiftness of a maxed level character were being displayed. A blood-red sharp slash was formed horizontally and soared through space, cutting 5 demons in half, turning all of their corpses into dust without leaving even a single trace of blood.

With a mastered control over the sword-type weapon, Sephena and her 2 guards were unharmed despite standing dumbfoundedly on the sword path.

"W-what!? W-who are you?" A shocked male voice sounded from the Demon side.

"That strength... are you an otherworlder?! Impossible! I have never seen one so stupidly strong!" Thalma exclaimed with paled and sweating face while slowly backing away out of sheer fear.

I still don't understand what he said, but right now my hands were trembling nonstop. Even though they are not exactly humans, their humanoid body kept reminding me that I just killed 5 people.

Calm down me. I still have to get rid of the rest 20 of them.

"Retreat!" Thalma said and gave a signal, but did he really think I will let you all escape?

The Demons jumped up high into the sky and flew away, probably using some kind of Flight Magic.

As my gaze turned sharper, my Katana flashed and 19 energy blades rushed towards each of them except for Thalma.

Being turned to dust from contacting with the energy blades, the only one left shaking with despair in the sky is Thalma. His body was trembling nonstop and he lost any will to flee or fight.

He descended to the ground and obediently kneed down before me.

Despite my still imposing stance, the shaking of my hands intensified.

"I have to... get used to it..." I said softly and exhaled the heaviest sigh of my life, trying to calm my quivering hands and legs.

After 25-30 seconds passed by, my gazes landed on the kneeling demon who has also regained some of his composure but still seems nervous nonetheless.

The reason I didn't kill him along with his peers was that I believe we could interrogate him. Of course, I'm not gonna do it myself. Torturing is absolutely not my thing.

Opening my Inventory, I pulled out a Magical Binding Rope, used for catching a surrendered monster, at him. The rope loosened then tightened itself on his hands and feet, preventing him from struggling.

I exhaled and breathed in some fresh air before I turned to face Sephena and her guards.

Well, the guards look a bit frightened, but why the girl seems somewhat excited?

"Ahem!" I coughed to catch their attention, but I realized soon after that I can't converse with them without knowing their language.

"Um... thank you for saving our life. May I have the honor of hearing your name?" Said Sephena with a flushed face.

I don't understand what you just said, but why is your face redden?

There is no need to mention that Raven is a top beauty. I spent so much time, money, and efforts into customizing her face and figure. I would feel very disappointed if no one feels enchanted by her charm.

Leaving her figure aside, Raven eyes are a bit cold, enigmatic, and fierce, giving off the mysterious and unapproachable aura.

There is no customization for a character's personalities inside the game, but if I have to describe her in one word then it's probably cold-hearted and a bit tsundere... That's actually not one word, but whatever.

Hey, don't judge me, okay? That's my preference, so... Ahhh, just forget I said anything!

Now, what should I do with my language barrier? Oh, right. Her kingdom is Valiania so there might be Valianian language somewhere...

While searching through the Language Setting, Sephena, her 2 guards and even Thalama were looking at me with complicated and confused faces. It seems like the people of this world have no knowledge about the Game System. Their gazes were following my fingers, awkwardly moving around touching nothing.

Finally! As I suspected, there is a language called Valianian! Let's try it.

By the way, should I act like Raven, behaving as a cold-hearted person? There's no point in doing that, but I don't want to ruin Raven's image. Being a cold beauty and having a chilly aura, can you imagine Raven behaving like a cheerful idiot? As her creator, I will not allow that!

So role-playing it is!

I cast my eyes at Sephena, who was still looking at me affectionately as if she has found her true love, with cold eyes and said with an indifferent tone, "Do you understand me?"

Sephena, along with her 2 guards, raised one of their eyebrows at the exact same time while tilting their head a little, confusing about something.

They still don't understand me?

However, to my surprise, Sephena replied, "Where did you learn our ancient language? I thought you're an otherworlder, but you're actually my people? Wait, no... that can't be..."

I tried to maintain my indifferent attitude, "What's your universal language?"

Her beautiful eyes were looking straight at mine before she exclaimed, "You're using some kind of translating device, right?"

That's not totally right, but I have to admit, she is pretty sharp.

"Yes."

With a gentle smile, she said, "I see, our universal language is called 'Aenus'"

"Pardon?"

"A-E-N-U-S, Aenus"

My acting was almost off after confirming her answer. This world universal language is called An-.., I mean, Aenus!. Seriously, who came up with such a name?!

I know it's not an English word, but still!

Trying hard to suppress my laugh that's about to burst out, I commanded the System and called out the Language Setting.

There it is, Aenus...

Gritting my lip so hard it almost bled, I pressed the YES button and successfully changed the language.

I retained my cold attitude and said, "Thanks."

She nodded her head with a delighted face and replied genuinely, "Once again, thank you for saving us."

Wow, her gazes were beaming like a star, looking at me affectionately and passionately as if I'm her long lost lover.

I would have feel disgust if I don't know about her being a 'She'.

Well, it's not a bad feeling to have a girl being in love with me, but right now I'm Raven! Did I just awaken something inside Sephena I shouldn't have? Or is she doing this because she's supposed to be disguised as a man, who was lucky enough to see an unrivaled beauty like Raven?

While transforming as Raven, I have to find a chance to look at myself in the mirror. After all, seeing her face in the real world is different from seeing it being generated by the computer.

I suppressed all my doubts and asked her, "Where is the nearest town?"

Her eyes beaming further, she replied with a very excited voice while pointing towards the North, "You can come with us. We are on the way towards Rextras Fortress. It's not that far."

She's going to the Fortress in full armor? I narrowed my eyes, "What are you scheming?"

As if expecting my response, she loosened her ponytail and said with a lovely smile, "I'm Sephena Valiana, the 2nd princess of Valiana Kingdom."

I already know that, though, there is one person here who's shocked by her reveal.

"Y-you are not the 1st prince, Sepah?! Damn it! Who would have thought his blood relative would be willingly substituting herself for him, we were fooled!" Thalma who kept his quiet for a long time suddenly burst out his voice, full of anger.

"And who would have thought you would dare try to assassinate my brother before he reaches the frontline. You Demons are always so cunning."

"Shut up you brocon!"

"B-brocon!?" Sephena's cheek reddened.

"You dare to be rude to the princess?!" The 2 guards started kicking Thalma with their iron boots.

While getting beat up by the guards who're far below his levels, Thalma continued his tease, "Hah! If you don't love him as a man then why would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for him?!"

"That's not true! Wait, no! I do love him but only as a relative! My ideal is actually... well." She cast her gaze at me.

So, you're into woman, an actual lesbian. Noted.

Thalma couldn't contain his laugh, "Hahaha! You're actually in love with this monster? Good luck to you then, princess!" Then he mumbling softly, not wanting anyone to hear what he said, "But I have to admit, this monster is a real beauty. If she's a Demon then I would probably fall for her as well."

I heard that!

"I-I'm just idolizing her! I'm still into men!" Sephena's face got even redder.

Make up your mind please, princess! Do you swing both ways?

Shifting my gaze back at Thalma, he's looking at me with a shard of red on his cheek.

As a man, that fell disgusting!

Oh right! Thalma has that Title!

Feeling a bit mischievous, I walked toward him while grinning devilishly.

Being aware of my grin, Thalma shivered and tried to avoid my gaze.

I kneed down and signaled the 2 guards to stop their boots bullying. Moving closer to his ear, I said wickedly, "Won't your superior feel sad if she knows you fell in love with me?"

Thalma face turned ashen white and he spoke with a shaking voice, "H-how, how do you know about that!"

I stood up and sighed. His reaction and behavior are that of an ordinary human. Are they truly the Apocalypse, programmed by the Gods to destroy this world?

Well, either way, I might be able to figure everything out later.

Enough fooling around, my time's almost up. I have to leave quickly before the Skill's duration end.

I tapped my foot to catch Sephena attention and said, "I will leave now.

"You can do anything you want with him.

"Bye."

As I was about to turn my back towards the two of them, Sephena called out to me, "Wait! Please consider coming to help us fight the Demon Army! With your strength, we might be able to end this war without many casualties!"

I glanced back and replied indifferently, "I will consider it."

"Thank you! Also, one more thing! May you please grant us your name?"

I gave her a slight smile and said, "Raven."
