As my whole body start shining my vision turned into pure white.
I appeared in a simple but relaxing room, table near the window, book shelf at the door side, this is the last room I saw before I left the Black World.
The room where the last place I bid farewell to this world but now here I am again.
I stand up and stretch my body, somehow I feel like I’m still not use to it once again but I guess this is normal when I left and didn’t go back after 4 years.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY! “
Huh someone is shouting downstairs? That’s rare.
“Like I said Loreiya, you need to stop visiting master Azazel. If you think I don’t know what you are doing when you always visit master then you’re wrong about that. You sexual predator old woman.”
This voice… its Loreiya and Lily. But good luck to you Lily, you said the most forbidden word to say to a fellow woman. I wish you’re still alive after this.
“YOU! WHAT DID YOU SAY!?”
*BOOM*
She’s in a berserk state! I need to leave now! If I don’t leave now I will never be able to leave!
I walk slowly to the window without making a sound. I slowly opened the window.
“Ah.”
This view, why did I forgot that there is a view that all of us friends look at? Why did I forgot how we like to travel and have fun without caring about the world, this is the only view that will never make me lose interest.
I sit at the frame of the window looking at this scene where you can see all kinds of things from up above the sky. Why did I forgot this scene where all of us relax and promise that we will never abandon each other? Why does tears start coming out of my eyes?
*BANG*
“Master Azazel it’s bath time!”
I look at the person who entered the room. There an elf girl is standing, she is the elf that I save when she is being attack by some group. The elf who followed me even though I told her that it’s okay just saying thanks.
“Maste-“
I jump outside of room, without caring whether she is happy or she will cry. I will just ignore her and just be done with it.
“Ah.”
Did I just forgot where Frankie is? Well I can ask after I arrived at the nearest town.
Ahh, this feels amazing, the wind brushing at my face, the feeling of falling from a high place. I wonder when was the last time I jump in a high place.
“Master!”
Huh that’s weird why do I hear a voice coming from my back. I’m falling right now, please don’t tell me she jump too because that’s a pain if she really did.
I spin my body to look at my back and I saw a girl, a little girl that is following me with her wings flapping very hard that it almost looks like it’s going to get rip off her back.
Lily, the little dragon that can transform to a little girl, the little girl that I adopt is going after me. Damn why did she jump to follow me! And is she flying faster than my falling speed? At this rate she will crash at me!
“Ugh!”
Suddenly she accelerated and crash at my stomach.
She really crash at me and is it just me or it’s too strong that I almost vomit!
“Master! Master! Master!... Uwahhhh.”
She’s hugging me too hard! Someone help me this is too hard that it will surpass my pain threshold.
“W-why did you left!.... *sob* you said that you will never leave me alone! You said you will stay by my side! *sob* you said-“
“I miss you too. So don’t cry like I died in front of you.”
I pat her head as she keeps crying while hugging me. Somehow I feel like it will be hard to not leave her again. She suffered when I left and now that I’m back she doesn’t want me to leave because she don’t want to suffer once again. The feeling of getting abandoned is a feeling that will make you lose your will live.
She’s a strong girl to still live up to this day while not seeing me moving and talking to her. Even though my body is in the house, she will never feel like I’m there as she knows that we are an outsider to the original inhabitant of this world. But I know what she feels as seeing the people around you disappear.
“[Mana flow] activate, [Wings] activate.”
As I said those words, the mana in the surroundings start moving to my back as it forms into a wing.
“Now shall we fly to the nearest town?”
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“Yes!”
The wings in my back flapping and decrease my falling speed until I float in the air. I feel like this is really convenient when I made this magic. I can increase my travelling speed but the mana consumption is too high so I only use this if something important happen.
After an hour we arrive in the nearest town and for sure that no one recognize me I didn’t use the wings to enter the town and just stop in the nearby forest and walk out of there.
Now that I think about it my guild card can’t be change to other name so I will get into a problem if I use it without thinking the consequence, but I can use the second floor for a bit of security so I guess I will have to do that, even though it’s too unpleasant to be gaze when I’m going in the second floor.
*Roaar*
When I heard the roar I immediately look at my back and somehow the thing that appeared is not a monster but rather a monster that is use for a delicious food.
The thing that roared is a bear that is tall as a tree when standing. I forgot where but I remember a country where they use this bear as their best product that can’t be best by other country. That time when I taste it I grab the royal chef’s collar and use my wing magic to go back to my vacation house in that country. I hunt 10 bears and told him to cook it all then I paid him for cooking it.
When I returned the man I saw the country’s army pointing their spear at me. I got really embarrass when I explained the reason why I kidnap the chef.
Anyway this thing will be a preserve food! I will hide it into one of my magic storage skill after I kill it so I can have that delicacy again when I visit it after I rescue Frankie.
“Lily! Capture it! We will have a meal after I rescue my frie-.”
Oi! Why the hell is she drooling?
“Hey Lily, you’re drooling.”
“Ah, sorry.”
“Hey Lily did you go to a country called Fradel?”
“Yes, and Master this bear is delicious! I bought one when I visit that country but when I taste it I immediately kidnap the person who made it and let him settle in the town near the vacation house! I’m pretty sure he will cook that dish when we arrive!”
As she said those words I felt extremely embarrass as she did what I did when I visited the country! And even worse she didn’t return the guy! Does she know what will the family of the person she abduct reacts when their family head disappear?
“By the way Master. When I kidnap him I took his whole family so he didn’t complain that time so it’s all good!”
Hey! Don’t be proud of yourself. Do you know what the county’s king will think if he knew that a whole family disappeared just because of a food! Anyway nice job now we have a chef in the town. I will reward you a pat later.
After our talk the Bear charge straight at us without thinking what will happen to it.
Lily made a grabbing motion in the air and the space distorts near her hand. A battle axe appeared as she pulled it from the distorted space, the magic is one of my original magic that I’m very proud of, I think me and Lily are the only one who can use it.
Now that she got her weapon Lily immediately smash the head of the bear. Thank goodness it’s not the body just the head, the head is the most useless part of the bear so I don’t have anything to worry about it.
“Hey Lily, if you’re done with it just hide it in your space inventory. I still need to save Frankie, I don’t want him to die in a place like that so tonight I’m going to tell him to just run and if he finds a village or town I’ll ask him the name of it. I don’t even have a clue where he is.”
“Who’s Frankie?”
“Hmm… well I didn’t introduce him to you that time because he’s not involve in the Black World but I can say he’s a friend of mine. Anyway let’s get going I need to have a decent sleeping area, I don’t want to remember the pain of sleeping in the ground.”
I walk to the direction of the town while Lily put the bear in the space inventory, by the way the name of their species is Pirto. It sounds weird when they told me in the Fradel country but I guess weird names really can’t escape people’s weird naming sense even you are in a different world.
After half an hour we got out of the forest and somehow the sun is setting down. Anyway the town lights is pleasant to the eye and the road to enter the town is full of road lights. The one who taught the people about this is a genius as he didn’t violate any rules.
I forgot to say but there’s a rule when you enter the Black World, the first rule is to never ever help the advance the technology of the Black World, second, do things without an intention of destroying the world in exception of you became a member of the demon army, third, don’t extinct a race or any kind of monster.
Once any of those rule is broken your soul will just disappear without hesitation, I can surely say that it’s scary as when I visit a research institute. When he said that he can make this and that with the metals and told about nuclear facility can be made with that material then suddenly he just *plop* not moving and the eyes shows that he doesn’t have a soul anymore and the researcher panic a bit but their memory somehow got restart as they just said like they forgot something very important.
They ask me but I shook my head extremely hard that I thought I will my neck if I do it harder.
Well without breaking any rules you will live without a problem and you can even live here forever so the change of scenery is extremely good for the people who hates the modern world.
Lily and I arrived at the town entrance, by the way if you show them your guild card they will let you in without a problem or show a trait of outsider, which is the mark at their chest or at their back. Well having a mark at the back is the rarest thing for an outsider to have like me. The mark on their back is in shape of their job.
Well the job that they get in their mark is divided in ranks that is common, uncommon, rare, Ex rare and the last two is the myth and legendary, and there is a guild who has a member full of legendary but they are gone now.
As I get near the guard, he saw Lily beside me and his face immediately turned complex then immediately point his spear at me. When the other guards saw the guard in front of me then saw me with Lily they immediately drew their weapon.
“Get away to Miss Lily!”
“I don’t know how but I’m pretty sure you trick Miss Lily! Getaway from her she will become our governor’s daughter in law so you better know your place.”
I look at Lily and she seems to be confused too.
And what the hell with becoming a daughter in law!? I don’t even know this, well of course I didn’t enter Black World for 4 years.
“Hey I don’t know what you mean but trick, but do you want me to level your goddamn place because I don’t know any of this daughter in law!? Do you think I will let my daughter marry anyone without me knowing!?”
“Daughter? You better shut up with your petty lie! Only the owner of the ancient dragon job has the right to call her a daughter!”
“Then it’s the more reason I have the word in here because I’m Azazel! Or do you even want me to just turn a blind eye here! You better get your governor out here before I annihilate his blood line down to the ground let the whole world that his bloodline doesn’t even exist after this night!”
He look at me then whisper some words to a guard nearest to him then run inside the city.
After a few minutes a carriage full of design and made out of gold is coming here. This governor has a disgusting taste of showing his wealth. He should have just invest in making the town better.
As the carriage stop, the door of the carriage opened and a fat bearded old man step out and a rather good looking guy walk’s out. This guy must be the goddamn person who wants to sully my cute Lily!
The bearded fellow walk in front of me and smile. I remember this smile, the smile of a person who is going to offer some kind of money just to get what he wants or his family wants. This town is under my control before I left the Black World and I didn’t let any of the corrupted people take the governor position. I remember that I put a reliable person in task of the governor seat but I guess he died or someone killed him.
“So you are the governor. I wonder what happen to the governor I put the task to work as the governor.”
I wonder why but my voice became cold, maybe anger? I don’t know what to describe this because someone killed a person that I trust to do his work.
“Oh, he got killed by an assassin that a corrupted noble sent but don’t worry about the noble I already dealt with him even and he won’t go back to the town anymore.”
“Hoh, then I must reward you.”
“Reward?”
His eyes shine because of the reward and do you even know what I said earlier? This guy is a really greedy bastard I guess I won’t hesitate now.
“And the reward is this.”
I flick my finger as a mana formed a hand that is big enough to grab him. The greedy fat old man look at my mana hand with fright.
I moved the mana hand to smash him to the ground.
*Splurt*
As he got smash by the mana hand It felt really disgusting but at the same time pleasing. Somehow my senses are telling me to not go down that path.
“Now that one is a reward good enough for you.”
I look around the people behind him but all their face is extremely pale, the dead fat old man’s son is looking at me, his face shows that he is extremely enraged.
He immediately took the sword of the nearest guard and then charge straight at me. I would have spare you if you’re not too attach to your greedy father but I guess you request your father to use all of his power to get a marriage for Lily and the reason for his death right now. Hah, do this people think I’m a benevolent person as I don’t care about them?
I hate meddling with useless people but once they gets into my nerve I will deliver the mercy blow to end their miserable lives!
When he is near enough he raise the sword and swing it down towards me and surely I catch it between my fingers, and surely I surround my hand with mana as to not get a cut in my finger. Getting a cut in your finger is extremely bad, I learned that when I tried to learn how to cook, that time when I’m cutting vegetables I cut my finger and boom! Blood everywhere.
He tried to pull the sword but I pulled the sword instead. I snatch the sword in his hand then stab it in his chest.
“This is better than your father’s death but people that think they are invisible because they have a good family and a power that can order people around and their heads become too big and think they are the elites that is born to rule. I hate those kinds of people that’s why I show them not to become too arrogant.”
After I said those words his body became lifeless as his body collapse to the ground.
