Vol. 1 Ch. 7 - The wastelands and the refugee filled with people like me.....

Part #1

 

Several days after the ship arrived from the wastelands, many things happened. After the ship landed, Arianne immediately seated herself as the new governor of the wasteland's former kingdom, Aurolius. However the thing surprised me wasn't the refugee camp, but the whole size of the former kingdom.

 

The ruined castle sat on top on a huge stoned mountain. The capital city were below it. It was a site where beautiful stoned ruins were placed, unoccupied towers with glorious height and the walls of the once good fort of Aurolius. The broken city was being used by the people who were cast off by their countries, due to their appearances.

 

Surprisingly, not all the humans with black hair and dark eyes were here. There were werewolves with the same color of fur and eyes there as well, Demi-humans with the same situation were living among them. Almost all of the race of this world were here with the same color they have as me.

 

The previous governor didn't actually left to some place but was killed due to the oppression he was doing to the refugees. I was told that many of the woman here were raped and killed by him so the guy that killed him were one of the family members that was killed by the previous governor. Thankfully, he was on Arianne's side. He didn't opposed Arianne's petition as the next governor since she has blood of the former royalty of the land.

 

The only condition was that the lives of the people here improve. They wished for stable homes, edible food and drinkable water, and safety of their lives. Since the wastelands house the most dangerous and deadly demonic beasts that this world has ever seen.

 

Naturally, Arianne accepted it but, the one who will be doing those things were me. Since I was their 'Hero', I am supposed to do all those things. I gave Arianne a hand chop to the head because of her unreasonableness, though because of it, I ended up listening to her cries.

 

The land was reformed immediately with my [Transmutation] skill but because it wasn't enough, [Magic Manipulation] came in handy. I asked Arianne about that skill before I started the land reformation. She said that it manipulates the magic power so that a person could use magic without any chanting. I was also told that only demonic beasts and magic beasts has it. I didn't know why I have it but, since it was practically useful, I ended up practicing it.

 

But, due to using it quite a bit to fix the barren soil, I gained new skills that were useful to the job...

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

 

[Earth Manipulation] skill made it easy to turn the dried up soil back to it's former glory. There was also a water vein under the earth so I made it so that it goes up and flows from the dried up river. After that, water wasn't a problem anymore. I cautioned them to boil it first to avoid getting sick due the bacteria and microbes it has after staying under ground for so long so, I had them wait until the water clears up it's color and get washed down to the ocean.

 

The city was.....well, I had to remodel almost all of it and made it is so that it was sturdy against earth quakes. I used my knowledge to create buildings sufficient enough to hold multiple families. Of course, the former buildings.... I remade them, about 30% of the former city has been rebuilt and what's left was the other men clearing out the debris from the last attack of demonic beasts back then.

 

Though, because of the clearing operations, there places where some of the demonic beasts were trapped when the city was under siege of the demonic beasts. I had to fight those things as well. I had to use [Magic Manipulation] skill to increase my Mp by turning the surrounding's magic power into mine. The fights were prolonged since none of the refugees here were experienced fighters. Most of them are dexterous race that has skills mainly at production and manufacturing purposes. Because of that, I had Arianne teach them about potion compounding and farming. Since the last one wasn't Arianne's nor my expertise, we had to find someone with a farming skill to teach them.

 

Then, few days passed again, and the second month was about to end, I was forced to fix the forts non-stop because of the storm that just hit us some days ago. The canals under the city needed repairs and clearing so most of the time, I spent it there with the men of the ruined city. I got sick of it so I just used [Transmutation] skill, [Magic Manipulation] and [Earth Manipulation] skills to instantly repaired the canals. But I ended up losing consciousness because of it.

 

Now, currently i'm bedridden due to a cold. I blame Arianne for working me like a slave these past two months. I haven't got a decent sleep nor rest because of it and my own potion production came to a stop because of it. I'm no pharmacist to make herbal medicines since I have no knowledge of it. I can only make potions from the recipes of this world. So right now, i'm enduring a really bad cold.

 

"Damn.....if only you stopped ordering me around like that....achoo!!"

"Really, i'm sorry for that...."

 

Right now i'm in bed making Arianne feel bad what she did to me this past few days. This room was one of the buildings I remade by means of [Transmutation] skill. It's a spacious room with a sky line view of the whole kingdom. Simply put, it's the tallest tower that had stayed intact after all this years. All I did was to increase the supports of the tower and made sure that magic and physical attacks won't damage it by carving a huge magic circle on the grounds that it stood.

 

I was given lands that was the top of the mountain for being a hero. There was also some guards and maids that were working here under the orders of the queen Arianne, the ruler of the former Aurolius now named Ambrosia. This was officiated the other day when I received a thought transmission from Lucinda, but actually was Mikoto Aizawa, a former classmate of mine.

 

There was a part of our conversation that was greatly absurd that I couldn't even believed it. It seems that I met Mikoto Aizawa 14 years ago before my parents died. I wasn't sure if that memory was true but after I heard from Aizawa herself, I completely remembered those times. But, it was also because of it that I recalled the accident that took away the lives if my parents.

 

After what happened, there was a promised made and I blacked out after that. It seems that I was already fatigued that day so my body gave out due to extreme exhaustion. Now, i'm in bed, making the queen herself, feel bad about what she did.

 

"Haah.....Really, i'm sorry for over working you. I was just caught up in the dealings with the matter involving my kingdom's inheritance. There was the matter of the letter of inaugurations for me other day so I visited the 8 royal council since i'll be restoring Aurolius in a new name"

"Like I care!! The deal was to help you not to work for you. I didn't say anything since I know you're busy, but because of you, my schedule backed up, my production ceased, and to top it all of, I got sick"

"E-Erm..... S-Sorry about all that....so please don't mad"

"I'm not mad, i'm just telling you"

 

Seriously, I helped too much and this is all I get? Damn....my head feels like it's about to explode....

 

Still, watching Arianne look all responsible for all this feels good, though my body feels so horrible....

 

"Fine, i'll take responsibility and take care of you alright?"

"Huh?"

 

What is this woman saying? I just want to grumble out the things that I wanted to say.....

 

"Isn't it because of me that you got sick? Then because of that, I have to take responsibility and take care of you till you better"

 

With a proud smile, Arianne puffed out her slovenly large chest. I don't know what she's planning but..... I have a really bad feeling about this....

 

After having such chill running down my spine, Arianne hastily ran to the kitchen along with some maids that takes care of my tower. Several minutes came after and she returned with a plate full of something...

 

It was..... something....I definitely cannot describe it's appearance. I kinda feel like i'm seeing a mosaic over it though....is it just my imagination or is it because of it's really disgusting appearance that even in real life something like a mosaic over a food is possible...

 

I glared at the very woman who made such monstrosity....

 

"Here, I made you a porridge"

 

With the plate full of something was presented to me, a very foul odor entered my nostrils.... It's..... Even it's smell is incomprehensible.... Is this even porridge? It's far than the one I know!!

 

"Like that's a damn porridge!!"

"Eh? But I made it alongside with the maids, so it isn't that bad you know?"

"If so, why is it that I can't seem to see what kind of porridge is it?!"

"That's just your imagination. Here!! Say ah~nnn"

"Gughffku!!!"

 

Without a second thought.... Arianne shove a spoon full of that something of that porridge in my mouth. I was left with no choice but to swallow it whole as the taste was simply unbearable..

 

Ugh....the taste....it's so convoluted...Spicy, sweet, sour....what kind of ingredients she used to make this dish?!! It's filled more malice than my face has when i'm mad at something.

 

"So? How is it taste?"

 

Eyes filled with expectations.... Sorry Arianne but I can't answer that...My eye were swirling as my condition became worse after eating that something porridge. Then, as I was swaying like a drunken old man, I fell back on the bed, knocked out from the poison she cooked up just for me....

 

Come to think of it, why didn't she just used a detox spell and cure me?.....Haah...never-mind....I feel sick....

 

"Terrible....please follow the proper recipe next time"

"Hmph!! Meanie!!"

"Haah...."

 

I couldn't reply anymore as I was already feeling tired. The porridge only made it worst after all so i'll  just sleep it off for now. I glanced at Arianne's expression. Surprisingly, she wasn't irritated. In fact; she was looking at me with soft caring eyes..

 

Cast from the heaviness of my body, my eyelids fell and I felt my conscious drift away. Within the darkness of my dreams....

 

The faces of my parents appeared....

 

Black hair...... dark eyes..... sweet loving song.... a lullaby...

The face of my mother humming her favorite tune while carrying me in her arms. Smiles.... My father was with her and were both smiling while I was slowly falling asleep....

 

The scenery changed and turned into a bloody hell. Ceilings crumbled and crushed the car me and parents were riding... the faces they made as they pushed me away from falling debris that crushed their lives....

 

The dreams shifted and the faces of my relatives came to view. My childhood torment after I was left with them... The money my parent's left me... they spent it all in their vices. After the money was gone, I was forced to work in different places in with different job. Sometimes a robber, a dealer, and even worst was, they made me into a murderer.... My growth was the start of my independent lifestyle but, my relatives took the earnings I saved through various part-time jobs.... Even until I pushed myself too hard and got hospitalized...

 

Ah....that's right....

 

"This happened before.... didn't it?"

 

At that, I was hospitalized due to malnutrition and being anemic. I almost had my heart stopped that time. The beds were cold... the dextrose supplying your body with nutrients.... the fearful nights filled with those non-stop nightmares... I wasn't able to endure it...

 

"Those times.....really broke me..."

 

I had no remaining family members that supports me, neither the people I once helped didn't helped me... My trust in people fade because of that. The life I've lead made me distant to people my age, unable to fit in as a normal kid...

 

"It must be painful for you, no?"

 

How wouldn't it be painful? I received so much suffering just by living..... My heart has already numbed because of it...

 

"But, isn't there people that wishes to support you here in this world?"

 

Is there.......? No, come to think of it, Lina supports me whenever I do my experiments and material procurement back then.... Even if the labor was hard, she helped me through and through.... Lucinda was...... her love for me goes beyond affection. If a word describes it, it would be 'passionate'. Even though she only fell for me at first sight, Lucinda cherishes me too much... I'm  thankful since she doesn't argue whenever I used her in scrupulous means, but I wished that she could take care of herself more....

 

"Then, do you still wish this world to be destroy?"

 

Should I stop and consider such path? Even though this world has some screw loose people, there are still people kind enough for me to protect.... Lucinda and Lina in particular, no, Arianne is there as well so I have to consider that...

 

"Then, will you decide?"

"Decide? No, I......uh? Huh? Did I fell asleep?"

 

With drowsy eyes and weak body, I sat my body up, supported by my arm. I looked to my side and saw Arianne sleeping next to me....  I must have fallen asleep after I ate that monstrosity of a porridge...

 

The time is.... this world doesn't have a clock so I tell time through how high the sun was. It's still dark out but I can make out some lights already rising up to the horizon.

 

I covered Arianne with a blanket and went out to have some fresh air. It's cool..... the breeze feels nice today. I went to the lower floors of my tower.

 

Since I had troubles in climbing in the past, I made an improvised pulley system, which was made through with the skills I currently have. It was a rough experience where it was hard to make a lubrication for the chains that pulls of the elevator through the elevator shaft. I also had the tower remodeled countless of times so that it won't get damage easily from either a physical attack or a magic attack.

 

After it was made, Arianne had fun going up and down like a child saying 'Can this thing fly?!'. I honestly told her that it wasn't possible and she became dejected after that. I told her about making a flying ship out of the same model from the ship we both board in a half a month ago, she regained her full-bloom smile after that.

 

The ship is still being planned and the power source wouldn't be a core but a natural engine. I'll have to make some hard steel before I could make out the blueprints out right. Of course, i'd like to make a non-emission type of engine so that this world's environment won't turn into something like mine.

 

The steel frames would definitely make it hard to fly due to weight distribution. I'll make it with aluminum and add some carbon alloy to increase heat resistance. Mechanical engines with the same principles as jet turbines and core engine to make all the parts work.

 

I'll be researching about this world's magic power as well. It seems that it's a phenomena that enables humans to use unscientific powers. I have to find out where it came from and how it came to be.

 

Ah, never-mind that. For now, I exited the tower and walked down the stairs that directly leads to the base of the castle where Arianne lives in. The impressive walls of the newly made ramparts that protects the castle was just finished the other day. It has four watch towers in the inner walls and another four that was placed in each opposite of the walls. Then, was a circumferential wall around the middle wall.

 

This was based in the previous designs of the old kingdom that uses a large magic circle barrier around the mountain to protect the castle and the capital. I looked over the previous blueprints back then and was profound from how it was systematically built. From how the underground canals curves and passes through one another was included in the construction plans. The stone obelisk had long ceased it's functions so it was being removed from where they once stood. I'm in the middle of the re-using it so that it'd be of use later.

 

"Oh?! Good morning, Kagami-sama. You are up early?"

 

As I was walking down the path that leads down to the third entrance gate, which was at the third wall. The guard saw ne walking and greeted me enthusiastically.

 

"Aah, Morning.... How's today's watch?"

"No problem sir!! There are no suspicious people roaming around this place"

"Good. The safety of the people in the castle depends on those who guards the entrances of the castle after all. Keep up the good work"

"Sir, thank you sir!!"

 

I waved my hand as I was walking away from the guard. For a morning person, he has some quite the energy. Leaving that aside, the sun has already risen and the view from where I am makes up a beautiful sight. After a minute of appreciating it's beauty, I hurried down from the path and went directly straight to the cityscape under the base of the mountain.

 

 

-

 

 

"O-Ou....this place changed considerably....."

 

Rather than an under construction site, the town was already finished and the people who were once lived in tents and improvised houses, were now inside sturdy apartment buildings with three story limit. There are some people building up store fronts now that goods can be cultivated near by after the river had sprung up from the underground water vein. Grass was also starting to grow on the wastelands and livestock can easily found nearby as some herbivore monsters in this world were starting to move in the almost grassy plains.

 

We set up a limit in how much livestock can be butchered since they were only small herds of them. Poultry are being cross-breed to make smaller breeds of birds. I initiated that project myself since I already made some devices for it. I also request Arianne to make a group of pharmacist to research in making various drugs that improves the health of the citizens, however that plan was still being processed since hardly anyone here has knowledge in potion making.

 

Still, the place was filled with vigor even though it's still morning. I guess everyone here are prepared in times of crisis back then so their already experienced in waking up early.

 

As I was walking down the streets, various vendors were already selling the cultivated vegetables and rice that was just harvested some days ago. The barren wastelands were far from the sea so there was hardly anyone selling marine goods. There was still the dangers concerning outside of the city since the demonic beasts are ridiculously strong. I just fought with a horde of demonic Coyotes the other day as well. Even when I used [Magic Infusion] on myself on top of the enchanted items I had equipped on, it was still a fight that was heavily prolonged due to my low level and stats.

 

Anyways, the town was already starting to get lively since morning already made it's appearance. I....I don't have my money on me so i'm kind of in a tight bind... I wore normal clothes today so i'm blending in quite normally. I have magic accessories on me for emergencies and a short iron sword attached to my waist in case the need arise.

 

Even though I have those prepared, I still forgot about my wallet. I really need to stop doing this actions.....i'm forgetting quite a lot lately....

 

"Haah...... I'm hungry..."

 

Whilst holding my empty stomach, as I was finding some place to rest. My knees are already weak as well and the sun will reach mid-noon soon. Has it been hours that I've walking? Impossible, I've only walked from my to--- never mind....

 

*Crack*

 

"N?"

 

A sound of something giving out due to excess weight resounded through my ears. I tried to look for it but, I wasn't able to see it.

 

*Crack*

 

There it is again.... However, this time, the pavement where I stood gave out and before I new it, I was already falling into the deep abyss.

 

"Ah? Uwaah?!!!!-------"

 

Part #2

*Drip*

 

A sound of dripping water can be heard. Within the darkness with no light, my ears caught a sound of water dripping on water.

 

*Drop*

 

Again..... the sound of water dripping.... My consciousness feels hazy from the drop. I took out an Hp potion(small) from my [Magic storage](small) and drank it directly from the vile. It seems that when I fell, a few of my bones broke along with a cerebral concussion that caused me to lose conscious.

 

As my fractures healed, I stood up from the cold earth and opened my eyes. However, it was too dark for me to see. The place where I fell seemed to be quite deep. It'll be trouble if I can't go back up. I'll have to search for a way out in the darkness as well. I don't have any fire magic skills on me so making a torch isn't possible.

 

For now, I activated [Magic Seer] skill along with [Magic Manipulation] skill to somehow make a filter on my eyes, making a pseudo night vision goggles. However, in my case, it's just like I can see in the dark so, I don't have green colored view.

 

But, to think that it'd work so well.....

 

That aside, finding the exit comes first so for now, i'll have to explore this place...

 

The place was...... an abandoned library it seems. Few of the shelves have fell down and pieces of paper have all scattered around. Water can be seen soaking the scattered books so those were already useless. There are mushrooms growing in this place but I've yet to see some living creatures.

 

I walked over the toppled shelves and reached a place where some book shelves remained standing. I took one from those out of curiosity and read its contents.

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Atlach-Nacha, the spider god that weaves the threads of life and death with her silk made from the souls of the living and the dead. Known only as a demon god which was born from the mixing hell of human sins and spider spirits. With a upper torso of a lovely woman, she devours the males that were entranced by her beau---

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - -

 

I stopped the reading after that scary paragraph sent chills down my spine. Although I can take much gore now because of the lifestyle of this world, i'm still not OK with scary stories. But still, the book seemed to be depicting some sort of spider god... I'll just keep it in my [Magic Storage] for now same as the some books with the same contents.

 

Some were containing good reference for something called [Elder seal] that helps the suppression of a curse or seal something into something. Some were depicting elder gods that were born first before the universe came to be.

 

I feel that most of it were only stories with interesting plots so, i'll be taking some with me as reading materials for passing time. I've also found something about Pandora's box being a cube that sucks in everything with limit and as the person destroy's the box, the same goes with those in the inside. There were some summoning circles in some books. I'll set aside the useful ones from the worthless since it'll make the [Magic Storage] considering how much it can only take.

 

After a few hours of choosing, I have already hit the storage limit of the [Magic Storage]. I left the place afterwards and walked down in a hallway and climb upped on stairs with crumbled and mossy walls. Minutes later, I've reached wide room where numerous pillars were laying on the ground. Looking at it closely, they must've fell when the surge of demonic beast attacked in the past.

 

Then, as I proceed further, I found an old looking throne with various ominous looking carvings on them... Most of them were faces filled with torment and despair. The faces which filled me with fear was making my right arm throb.

 

"Kuh.....!! W-What is this?!!"

 

I felt my right arm throb as if it was being teared of from my body. The pain made my knees weak, making me unable to stand properly and just fell on one knee while holding my right arm...

 

---You have returned---

 

This voice....it feels familiar....no, I've heard it from before!!

 

--Oh thy king, dyed in yellow--

 

It's from back then!!! This voice is only increasing the pain as it talks. The throbbing grew stronger as if it had a heart beat itself. Like a whisper through my ear, the mysterious voice continued....

 

--I beseech thee to be seated on thy throne---

 

It was directing it's throbbing to the throne with despaired faces carved on it....

 

--Thy king who have once been sealed in the tower of no doors--

 

No....

 

--Thy have returned to thy Kingdom of Yellow--

 

 

 

 

Part #3

 

The universe, a vast space of unilateral and uncontrollable laws and verses. An inky dark space which holds thousands of thousands stars containing millions of galaxies on their own. A shadowy depth that holds no boundaries whatsoever. Cold and airless vacuum only exits in such place. Black and murky, only that and thousands white dots only exits in such place.

 

Have this already had such an appearance? Nay. Before, it was place of pure light. A space only which no darkness can be seen. A place where impurities had their existence vanish as they tried and enter such realm. It was like that.... However, not all white never had any darkness within.

 

The first darkness was born out of the purity within the space. Like was shadow cast as if an object was obstructing such light. Time remained constant and motionless at that time but, who would've thought that the most tiniest of darkness could swallow a pure white light whole. Thus, the white space disappeared and what came after was pure darkness.

 

Not only that, beings of unimaginable, horrendous and vile figures and appearances started to appear. This was the beings called 'Elder Gods'. With bodies with the size of planets were occupying the space like kings and lords if their own domain. Then, as time passed, the pure white escaped from the darkness, causing a massive explosion that destroy all life. However, the pure white light scattered into billions of stars, creating their own systems and lives.

 

Though, the previous gods had been disintegrated, their spirits remained and spawned organisms of their own.

 

In a particular solar system was a king who had direct connections to those elder gods of ancient history. His name was Hastur, the king dyed in yellow robe. The unspeakable being, the one who shan't be named, that he he was. A king who once possess a kingdom far more rich than any empire or land that the other planets had. He had subordinates whom he placed his trust willingly and served him proudly as a king...

 

But, as that fateful day came, his people formed a coup d'etat, and sealed him in a tower that reached the ends of the universe, making him unable to return back...

 

As his raged and anger consumed his body, his humanoid body disappeared and was replaced by tens of thousands of worms which became his tentacled body afterwards. His yellow robed crumbled due to age, his golden crown rusted and his soul became corrupted. Seated in a throne made out of the people who dares to look up the darkened sky where the tower stood firmly, Hastur over watches the eons seated on his doom crested throne....

 

 

-

 

 

Such memories were being drilled into me....

 

Memories filled with hatred and despair. Betrayed by those he trusted, he was succumb by his anger for his enemies, ended up as a being of indistinguishable figure...

 

Argh!!!! My right arm feels like it's being chewed off!!! Who that hell is this guy?!!!

 

--It is thee--

 

You again?!!

 

--My master, my beloved king......--

 

A face comes to view as the voice was calling out to me with a soft female voice. Black hair, dark eyes.......No, it can't be....

 

--Hastur-sama--

 

"Gaaah?!!!!!!!"

 

My head received a wrenching pain like it was being crushed by a huge heavy boulder. The cursed arm throbbed along with the joyous sounding of the talking voice. My body crumbles and I was on the floor, clenching my teeth from the pain my body was enduring.

 

Who are you?!!

 

--I am thy servant, Demon god Avfritzed--

 

As voice finished it's sentence, a girl with pure long black hair slowly descending from the unknown ceiling. Her clothes was pure white, she wore golden ornaments on her body like she was a brimming statue of Hinduism...No, it's different from that... She...A girl with pure black hair and demon red eyes, that's right.... she was the same woman that appeared before me that day...

 

--It seems that you have remember me my king--

"No I haven't------Kuh!!!?"

--You are not the one i'm speaking to, swine. It is the being that resides in your right arm--

 

Her slender fingers pointed at the arm with black tentacles coiling around. It responded with a strong throb as if it likes what it was hearing. The girl's lip formed a smile, glad about the fact that she was being remembered by something... But who is it?

 

"I don't.....know...ngh!!?....what you're....talking abou---Gaha?!!"

--Worm, do not speak to me with such tone!!--

 

My body was being crushed by an intense gravity. The floor beneath me was starting to show cracks and tear marks because of the extreme weight being poured upon it.

 

Avfritzed's eyes glow bright red as she was pressing gravity on my body. However, she stopped. She must have rememberes about the thing inside my arm. A being she calls 'My king', Hastur.

 

"Damn.....!!!"

--Human, you are a bearer of my master's prison's key. It would be horrible of me to destroy my master's hope of being released in tha accursed tower--

 

The gravity ceased as she pulled off her stance. My body felt light so I immediately stood up, but the pain was making me unable to stand up properly. My vision was starting to get hazy and my breathe was ragged. My balance was off and to top it all of, I can't move my body properly. So even if I did escape, I won't be able to run quickly.

 

"What are you even.....talking about?"

--It is what I have said, you are a key that will release my master in that accursed tower--

"I don't.....!!?....... I don't understand....!!"

--Pity, it is such a waste that divine beings created such simpleton of a race. Thou beings was given intelligence yet you don't use it. Very well then, this one shall explain to the likes of you the role you can only take--

 

This woman..... If only I could move, I might have ran away by now but, even my Mp is being exhausted since i'm forcefully suppressing the pains. I can't reach my potions as well, moreover, the pains is already taking too much of my concentration to think.

 

--The hero that came from the other world. You who were born as a being that holds the only key which will unlock the seal on the tower where my master resides. If you die, the same thing will happen to the key which your existence holds. The mark on your right hand proves it. However, that wretched goddess tampered with it and made it so that it will never be of use. Fortunately, I was able to find a mere human that is able to hold the key. Although it was a mere coincidence, it was pure luck that you made it this far to reach my master's former throne--

 

Avfritzed turned her body and glanced at the despair filled throne. Her lips were delighted at the fact that luck played out well for her. Even for a god, it seems luck were a system that isn't in the realm of control by them.

 

However, the fact that this woman is the person that placed this thing on my arm makes my blood boil. She just chose me because I was convenient for and due to that, my life turned to hell after coming here.

 

This woman.....i'll kill her!!!

 

"You....stuck up bitch!!! It's because of you I have to suffer being an incompetent loser in this world!! I have to struggle so much just to get stronger!! If I ever get over this thing, i'll make sure I see you dead!!"

 

My eyes glared at Avfritzed. As the pain was slowly being suppressed by my Mp, the aching sensation in my head dissipates. Avfritzed's face was mutter 'Hoh~' as she was amazed the tenacity my body hold.

 

--Amazing, for a mere worm to be this tough. I'm impressed--

"Don't call me that!!"

 

I poured in Mp in my legs and left arm with [Magic Infusion] and charged at Avfritzed, who was standing still without doing anything. However, as my left fist was traveling a speed which surpassed sound, an invisible wall crashed with my hand.

 

It didn't pierced through, instead, it broke the wall but the momentum my fist had simply vanished. Avfritzed's face cramped after seeing such sight. However, she did not dodged and simply took the hit.

 

I thought that I have already got through, but my fist simply went through her transparent body. Did she not have a physical body in the first place? Unfazed, I delivered a kick to her chin right after I recovered my balance. But that too went through...

 

--Amazing, not even angels could break my barrier. However, for a simple worm.....no, a mere human to simply shatter it. My expectations of you were wrong human--

"I don't want your praise!! I wan't you dead!!"

--Fufufu~ I shall for that time. However, for now I must reward you for the amusement you gave me--

 

Avfritzed placed both of her hands on my cheeks and in an instant, I found her close to me. No, her lips locked mine. An unseeingly muscle like thing trespassed and invaded my mouth. Wrapping itself onto my tongue.

 

I tried pushing her away but my arms simply went through. How is able to hold me then?!! I struggled out but it was impossible. Then as minutes ticked by, Avfritzed finally lets go. A thin silver line connected our tongues as she separates from me.

 

--Truly unexpected, your lips were delectable than I thought--

"I don't care about that!! Just let go already!!"

--Very well--

 

Avfritzed let go of my face. As soon as she does that, I distanced myself from her. I wiped off my lips with my arm and glared at her. For a monster to do that thing to me..... I feel disgusted. I'll be brushing that off for a few days then...

 

--That is that then.... I have taken a considerable amount of time from you and it seems that my time her has been done as well. Hastur-sama will be freed eventually and in time I shall be taking that key from you, remember that--

 

As soon as she says that, her body disappeared like mist, living no trace of her behind... I'm glad that she disappeared already, since my body is about to lose conscious now. I'm already feeling hazy from the pain and i'm about to pass out now.

 

However, I still have something to do. It's something I've seen after [Magic Seer] skill was used. The throne of Hastur the yellow king. Has magic essence residing in it. From how it looks like, it has enough power to destroy this world.

 

A sinister bad idea popped up in my mind. I reached out my left on the throne and with that, I began my transmutation.

 

"I'll be taking this chair of yours your majesty"

 

*Throb-Throb*

 

The pain increased after I utter such phrase. However, I ignore that and continued my transmutation. Because of that, my concentration was being held back. But, I poured my all to complete my masterpiece. My means to make the being that reside in my arm insulted.

 

With [Metal Forging], [Mineral processing], [Soil conversion] and [Enchant] skill, I formed the throne into a eerily golden sword with a deep black pearl on it's star shape hilt. It's length was 180 cm long and 15 cm wide, a shape that resembles a bastard sword, such sword as created under the blindimg red light.... A sword named after the being that should not be named.

"This sword will be the one that'll kill......you...."

 

My Mp emptied, I lost consciousness and fell down with a thud. The darkness slowly ate my existence, and with my body left defenseless, I have left for the eternal slumber that which will then take my life....
