Chapter I: NEW LIFE BEGIN
How did it come to this? I am supposed to be dead right? Is this the after-life I am hearing about? But that's strange, although I'm not a religious person I did hear some of their teaching. The hindu believe of reincarnation and attaining enlightenment to become something extraordinary. As for the catholic, they believe when the people die, they either go to hell or heaven. But I certainly didn't go to heaven or hell, I didn't even know if this is a reincarnation.
I swear I help a lot of people in my lifetime, millions in fact. If I believe in reincarnation, wouldn't I suppose to gain a good life in my next life? If I believe in heaven or hell, I doubt I'll go to heaven, but... if this is hell then isn't it a bit... odd?
“Hahaha! The commoner summoned a parasite” [???]
“As expected of a commoner.. this ceremony supposed to attain familiar and she only gain a lowest of the low!” [???]
“Why do we even let that 'thing' enter a noble school?” [???]
I heard mockery of the surrounding people. They were in their teens, wearing similar robes. That expression they making is a very familiar to me. Every time I was around with father, people around us looked at him with that kind of face. Father may be rich but they think that he only become rich because of mother's fortune.
They wore the similar expression same as they facing father.
I was in the middle of some kind of red glowing circular patterns made of arabic like text. Awesome...
I looked around the surroundings, it feel like I was inside a small dome building because the top was curving a half circle. In the middle of the half circle are a basketball size hole as it pour red light down directly to me as I was warp with it.
The one closer to me was a teenage female wearing similar robe as the surrounding people. She has a black hair, black slit eyes. That gaze she was making was a serious one. I could already tell this girl didn't know how to laugh at a joke or even make one.
She is facing me with seriousness, she then raise her right hand as she touch me. Huh? The moment she touch me, I was like a jelly as it slowly covering the girls body.
There are many question I still hadn't completely process I didn't even know what's happening now. The event came too fast. My body is certainly was not made of red goo, I was a human hunk dammit!
****
5 minutes before
“'Sigh' no matter how much time had pass I still couldn't see the ending” [Divion]
I was bored to death, I didn't know what to do anymore as I only wait until I got closer enough to the white swirling thing which I was slowing heading to. No, it's more like I was getting sucked slowly.
I will call that white swirling thing as an afterlife for now since that was the only conclusion I made. I died after all.
If it was hell, grim reapers already assisting me to meet my enemies or if it was heaven, that white swirling this supposedly be a big gate and a trumpet will blew upon my arrival. So I concluded that mass of white swirling thing was a gate way to afterlife.
Life after death...
Or so I thought. But I still hasn't been halfway of my journey, a white rope like thing that I couldn't see the ending is approaching me at the breakneck speed that was came from below me. I do love being bondage but it was exclusively for my sister. I was powerless as I couldn't resist the strength of the rope.
I feel irritated as this thing is slowly coiling me and soon, I was warp like a mummy as I getting pulled below.
The travel was fast as I met with a red hole below. Dammit Satan must have want me to be drag in hell to greet my killed enemies.
I soon suck in that red hole...
When I sucked inside, I was currently what it seem the night sky, as I was seeing two moons and a thick cluster of stars above.
I was still being dragged below me. Only 3 second passed, I was able to see details below me. And what I see is a thick forest.
Then there was another hole that link to the glowing rope as I am being dragged inside. It only happen in an instant but I clearly see it. The moment I was drag at the hole in the ground. I see different animals with and monsters with different forms circling around the hole.
I was frightened as my body, let just called it spiritually body from now on, is melting and turning into a red goo the moment I enter in the red hole.
*****
5 minutes after
How should I put it not in a sexual manner. After that girl extend her hand to me as she grab my body(goo) I was suddenly sucked in and beginning to cover her whole body. My body(goo) slowly hardening and forming itself of some sort of gear.
My body harden below the feet first the slowly moving upward. It is a mystery to me why I could see 360 degrees in every direction, after all I only have to eyes, and certainly I do not have eyes on the back. The amazing part of this current vision of mine was that, being covered her body with my body enabling me to see her every nook and cranny in her body like she was naked.
Not like I was turned on. But her body astounded me. Her height is 5.9 ,Back home, this body could only be attain by a professional athlete. This girl must be rigorously training her body since her muscle was distinct and very detail to the eyes, specially the stomach part and arms.
This girl must be playing sports that is related to swinging her arms. The downside of attaining a perfect athletic body was that having a small breast. Sports related in swinging arms use the arm muscle up to the chest for extra momentum that led to burning fat, I think...
Her face was considerably good looking but not to the point of beautiful, but that didn't matter as the redeeming qualities of her was her tall, athletic body.
Then the question I want to be answer was the fact that I turned into a goo and hardened as it contracted in her body. Since my new vision was something extraordinary as could see a body's outline; my body turned into a red full plate armor.
Then the next question is, why I am here? I was supposed to go to the afterlife. I heard from the other spirit that I came on contact as I traveled few minutes ago was that I'll live forever if I enter afterlife.
Don't tell me this is afterlife? I might live forever but as an armor? This is so unfair in many levels. I want to eat good food!
“Elnoa step aside” [???]
The one that said that was an old man that is standing at the only balcony in this place along with three people who is also old. WOAH!! those old men at the balcony looked like they would kick the bucket anytime soon because of their really old appearance. One of them looked at the front looked like wizards because of a long beard and a wooden staff.
A/N Is that you gandalf?
“Understood” [Elnoa]
As soon as someone called by the old man, the girl began to move. So her name is Elnoa is it? She certainly attracted too much attention. Not in a good way though...
I see the majority is sneering at her. The girl seems affected slightly as she made a small frown.
She walk far away from the others.
Is she bullied or maybe there might be other circumstances I am missing? After all, I've been here for only 8 minutes, I will not judge anybody base on their action. But I was certain this girl was discriminated a lot.
“Ravan Drivcar proceed” [???]
“Yes!” [Ravan]
The old man with long beard called out another name. The one was called was a boy with a... Whoa! Blue hair!! I doubt that hair was dyed. The boy approached the glowing circular flat form that was the previous position of the girl.
“Now, release all of your mana... This will be the last time I will repeat this. That magic circle on your feet is a portal to the spirit world, for us magic user a familiar is necessary, they will become part of you! They will become your companion and also an extended limbs to us.
The first process to be a full fledged magician was to summon a familiar!
You must inject your mana within the magic circle to call out familiar compatible to you. Having large mana pool is the most crucial when summoning a familiar! It is said that the mana pool is coincidence to the familiar's power. Meaning, the familiar and the one who summons must be equal with power!” [Old man]
“Head master! Does that mean, if you summon something like a parasitic spirit means your level is only below at the commoners class?” [Ravan]
Said the boy with a blue hair. I swear Im seeing all of the eyes in our direction with disdain and mockery. The girl hold her fist tightly as her shoulders trembles. This girl really knows how to endure.
The old man only nod without giving a glance at the girl.
The blue haired boy began to power-up. What's with this high definition CG effects? The blue haired boy is letting out blue light. Does having blue hair made your super saiyan like power effects also blue? Then that girl seems to be red but her hair is black though...
Then slowly, something emerge at the center of the blue light.
What appeared was a pit bull dog with 3 head and 3 meters tall with a blue fur.
“An Aquarian Cerberus!! a variant appeared!! hahaha!! as expected of an ancient mage household that excels water magic!!” [Old man]
The beared old man seems to me static about the boy. That dog seems familiar... ah! I seen that dog when I was dragged in this place. Then that dog came from that old man called spirit world? But I was certain before the spirit world I was it this dark place with the souls as the only light source was the big swirling light.
Does that mean this girl fish-in me beyond the spirit world? This is a tragedy... to me that is.
What should I do from now on? I tried to move my body (Goo) but cannot, I was like a paralyze person that only the head could move.
Will I try to make a conversation to the girl? The answer is no. there is still many unknown factor I still need to study and understand. This is not the time and place to make a contact. This girl seem to be bullied base on the faces this brats showing around the places.
This feels like a high school all over again but this time I was the one being bullied since I was now part of the girl.
“That is to be expected! Hahahah!!!” [Ravan]
This boy is the type that is full of arrogance imbedded into his bones. I probably blame the parents for raising such kind of child who is full of himself. That arrogant attitude will come to bite him in the future and lead him to hit hard when the time comes he realized that he was just drop in the ocean in the face of the true monsters. It's not my problem.
That boy is looking at our direction with a smug look on his face. The girl again trembles. The way this girl hold back is very extraordinary.
If it someone like me who would not forget grudges until I died, seeing someone giving me that looked, I would've immediately assassinate him on the next day.
It happened many times in the past. Mostly when I'm dealing with the mafia or a local gangster. They often broke contracts and steal from me. Well they deserve it...
I could tell this was not the first time it happened, seeing as no one sympathizing the girl. Crowd mentality is surly scary.
The boy walks away with the blue, three-headed dog on tow. It is still amazing that there is existing giant dog with three head and a blue fur in this world. The big dog seems very obedient as it follows the boy without talking to it.
“Ronda miller!” [Old man]
The old man again called out a name. A red haired girl step forward as she walks to the glowing circular patterns. Another arrogant one huh...
She reminds me of a certain royalty in the UK I once dated. That woman looked down on anybody that her head always looking up high. I only courted her because I want connection of their country's military software. After I've done my business, I messed up the woman really good. That's all in the past now. I heard she already married and live happily. Unfortunately for the husband, I took the woman's virginity first.
This girl reminds me of her, acting arrogant but when it comes in bed they'll turn meek and submissive and made you want more teasing her.
The girl release a red light out of her body. Seriously how did they do that?
I'm so jeal... I mean humans don't release light with different color out their body. Not on earth though...
I've seen of martial artist on earth that could pierce a coconut with a single finger or those people who called master pain where they could endured laying on a bed made of nail or getting hanged using a big hook locked in to their back skin. I also watch those Chinese bald monks in Vegas once, they can pierce a glass using a sewing needle.
They were within the bound of physically laws and I don't see any supernatural ability those people on earth using. The gratification name for there are super humans but not supernatural.
This world seems to be different a lot compared to earth.
While I'm pondering about this new discovery, I was suddenly awaken by the animals that I am seeing. What the red haired girl summon was a big, flaming red snake. Damn... Now I totally convince that the place I once been and saw was the spirit world; I had seen this flaming snake before. It might be the just a moment before I was pulled in in the second hole. I had a high perception so I might remember in details a lot more even it was the first time I've seen it compared to other humans. This is the fruit of my labor of everyday meditation.
I may had high perception but I do not have a 360 degrees view in my time on earth that I currently have.
This snake is as big as the 3 headed dog. This reminded me of the movie called anaconda, but unlike anaconda this big snake is covered with flames and it seems not to burn the creature.
This also reminded me when I and father camping in our own private island. I thought it was just an excursion. For the likes of me who is used to a luxurious life, camping without a modern equipment is like a torture to the highest level. I was so hungry and thirsty that I drank the sea water. Yeah, I was stupid, I was immediately dehydrated that I was seeing hallucination. Luckily, father given me a dried coconut bowl that have a water on it, I swear there's no coconut tree on the island.
During the night, I couldn't sleep because of the hissing sound of the sea snake around me. The old man pick the sea snakes one by one like he was harvesting carrots. He removed the skin and the organs and skewer it in a long stick and place it near the fire.
I soon grown to like camping with father when he was on the break. This also earn me survival experience and also earn a tittle exotic food lover. That snake reminded me of that time. Unfortunately that big snake wasn't barbequed like the sea snake in the story.
Did I mention the water the old man given me was actually his pee? I even ask for a second to pushed the food down in my stomach.
The red haired girl raised her right arm to attempt to reach the head of the snake; the snake voluntarily crouch its head down as the red haired girl caress it head.
What I find odd was that the big snake is covered in flames that it looked like it was part its of its, yet the red haired girl's hand aren't burn when she touch its head.
The old man again became loud and praised the red haired girl who summoned the red flaming snake, also the people around praised the red haired girl describing her as a genius. They also mention about a prestigious noble household of fire mages?
The girl again raised her head high, honestly girl, you looked ridiculous. And no one reprimanded her for being looked arrogant and seems to praised her more.
She then looked to our direction with the same looked as the blue haired boy before moving towards the blue haired boy's direction and they happily talked to each other.
They also often looked at our direction the laugh as if the topic of their talk was the girl that I'm with as if openly mocking her.
I feeling the trembles of the girls body before easing up for a bit as she calmed down. I looked around in our surroundings again. We were ten meters apart of the group of people. I'm sure this girl is avoiding the crowds than being avoided.
I also notice now that all of the people here had a animal companions, most is I don't recognized. I even see a six legged horse that a certain boy is riding also a small monkey that is on the head of a certain girl.
There is also someone riding a big lion.
Guh!! I want to ride a lion too. My childhood dream is kicking in...
“That's the last student! Remember, a spirit beast is not a slave, its a companion, a partner that you can fully trust. But remember, you may control them but they had their own intelligence! They are loyal to you until the moment you die, but If you do not take care of it properly, they will attack you out of anger and injustice! But do not worry it seldom happen.
Return to your dormitories and rest. you have one month holiday to bond and familiarize the ability of the spirit beast you summoned. Now dismiss!” [Old man]
After the energetic old man had said that with reminder on hand, the crowd began to walk out slowly with their animals following them to the only entrance and exit, parallel to the balcony were the old men is on.
The girl remain inside as she wait the last teen to get out, until she walks at the direction the the balcony. The old men seems to observe the girl that is moving towards their direction below.
“Head master I...” [ Alnoa]
Before the girl began to speak, the old man raised his hand to stop the girl to speak. The girl quietly waited the old man to speak.
“A parasitic spirit slime, they are type of spirit that needs a host to live, they suck small amount off mana from the chosen host in exchange they provide the host with protection by hardening its body in a form of an armor. This spirit is commonly used by the soldier with low mana to provide extra protection from magic attacks. It's basically can lessen the magic attack that contacted the armor” [Old man]
The old man provided an interesting information. According to him, This new body of mine is a parasitic spirit slime that suck mana of the host to live.
'Sigh' from a worlds youngest billionaire and the year's most handsome man has now turned into a parasite like thing.
My new body is a slime. The only slime I know was the white thing I'm releasing when I was having a climax. Luckily my new body is red not white. And I'm currently are harden, not in a sexual way.
The girl want to say something. The looked on her face tells me that she already knew the information the old man had said. The girl seems to be dissatisfied of something. Before she open her mouth halfway as she is making a sentence she was rebuked by the old man.
“Enough! You must face it, you have no talent! That thing covering you is the prof of your talentless. This is a nobles school for the most gifted and brightest children in the kingdom! If it wasn't for that woman's recommendation you wouldn't be here!” [Old man]
The old man is fuming with anger as she looked down at the girl.
“I-I'm sure if I repeat it again I could get a good one! Pleas....” [Alnoa]
The girl is desperately making a plea but the old man wouldn't budge.
“Alnoa Noa, you can only summon once in your lifetime, once the spirit beast is summoned it will remain in you for the rest of your life. A spirit beast could not be killed unless the contracted human is still alive. And even we have an ability to un-summon your spirit beast and get a new one, it would turn out the same beast you first summoned. Now get out!” [Old man]
The girl seems couldn't accept and want to argue.
“Get out” [Old man]
The old man seem to be fed up and said to the girl to get out quietly. But the girl isn't giving up at the moment.
“Get...OUT!!!” [Old man]
The girl shrunk in fright as she finally realize the old man is getting irritated at her and finally blew up. The girl trembles slightly as she outspokenly moving towards the exit.
“Useless girl amongst the talent hmp!” [Old man]
The girl is shaking more as she heard the old man had said. Even the old men at the balcony discriminated the poor girl. I pity the girl...
We were the last one to walk out the exit. I was met with a beautiful huge garden that is around the building. I looked at the outer building with an appreciation. There is only one tower here around the large expanses of land filled with garden. Tall trimmed square shaped bushes lined up at the side of the road and also along the beautiful colorful flowers.
The smell of flowers made me calm.
Blue birds twit at the branch of the trees some dance to attract mates indicates the season of spring.
The sky is blue and never once covered by the sea of clouds.
The wind gently blew along with the fresh grass scent.
Ah~ what a peaceful place...
wait a minute! How can I even smell? My current form was that of a red armor that was omce a red goo!
Maybe this current body of mine is made of sensory organ? After all I'm capable to see 360 degrees and able to feel the wind breeze and smelled the air.
'sigh' never mind, even I want to find out, I still lacking of information regarding this world. I better not contact this little girl soon until I find a common sense about this world. There are so many unknown factor I still want to find out.
What I going to do now was to observe and study what I see. Until then, this girl will have to wait a friend to talk to....
*****
While Divion is busy pondering about his current situation. The girl silently walks on the the path of road. Her expression was that someone eaten a bitter food. Even before Devion was summon, this girl never smile once.
She was once a commoner...
But an unexpected event occur 3 years ago that change her life.
She currently wearing the red plate armor that she acquired at the summoning temple that was build a thousand years ago. It might very old building but in this world, beings with power could lived longer than the powerless counterpart.
She attended this school for two years now, yet there was no sign of her progressing. The main cause was discrimination.
The school was build to teach the most gifted and brightest children throughout the kingdom. Meaning, only the nobles could attend. Cultivating children to become a mage was a very expensive. And only with money can buy materials to raised a children to become a full fledged mage.
Not only that. Before children could attend the school, they were already taught with the most basic part. Like reading, writing and magic theory.
But the girl was once a farmer and a commoner, living on the frontier between the uncharted territory of the mythical Forrest of the elves and the kingdom.
The only thing she knows from the past was writing her own name with a crude way of writing a letter.
She hasn't been taught to read and write because commoners didn't need too, moreover, education is very expensive and was not being invested by the kingdom.
Not to mention that there are only 2 school in the entire kingdom and both of them was build in the kingdom's capital.
75% of the population of the kingdom are uneducated. Only those who can afford the tuition fee can go to school, which is very expensive. Only those with noble background and rich merchants could afford to enter their children in school.
But even that is not without discrimination.
There are two school because it is necessary to exert the hierarchy and nobility for the few.
The two school is divided between the commoners and the nobles.
The commoners school was for the merchant's children or those who could afford the tuition fee. And the noble school are for the nobles children.
The nobles were taught economics, history, higher degree of magic spells, magic theory and many more that wasn't been known to the commoners.
The commoners school was only teach children to read and write and basic math and a lesser forms of magic. They weren't received higher education because of fear of the commoners knowing too much that could led into a revolution.
It was the first time in history that a commoner is allowed to enroll on the noble school side. Many attempted to protest. The ones who protested was the nobles children which they think that commoners should not be allowed to enter school for the elite ever. They think it will tarnish the good reputation of the noble school that are full of gifted and powerful elite children of the new generation.
But the plea was rejected. The most higher position, the king, was the one who let the girl entered the prestigious school. The girl and the king is not related by blood but something else was influencing the king to made a scandalous decision.
Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
Moreover, The pitiful girl was bullied in school. The king only let the girl enter the noble school, but he did not receive his protection as the king last stated to the protesters.
She was called by many names. Lecher, idiot, commoner, weakling, dirt poor, there are even more hurtful words like 'a woman who whore herself'
The girl endured the verbal abused and insult. She vowed to herself that she would graduated in school to repay the kindness of a certain someone who is dearest to her.
Fortunately for her, she didn't receive any physical abuse from her peers even though she is being discriminated. The one backing her had a slightly an importance to the king. But that individual do not have any power or position that could alter the kingdom.
But that individual has a say to the king and had a certain influence over him.
She had lived in the noble's school for more than 2 years but she hasn't learned that much. Because the teachers which are also nobles wouldn't give her simple explanation of how things work, so she remained ignorant for two years.
The only thing she had learned are a few lesser magic spells because it is easier to control and comprehend. Unlike her classmates that can conjure fire ball and elegant spells, she only can make fire for cooking and water magic for drinking.
The last straw was the summoning ritual that can only done once in your lifetime. She thought that she can redeem her failures by having a strong familiar by her side. She was confident that she could summon a powerful spirit beast. The confidence came from the fact that she only need to release her raw mana in the magic circle.
Moreover, she had a large mana pool than any students that is stored withing her body.
No one made a fuss over it, since no one ask her. Or they just didn't care because even though she has a large mana pool, she only knew lesser type magic and wouldn't bother by it.
Again, she made another disappointed result and receive a sneering comments at the people watching her. She may not had a lot of dignity in her but she had what people called pride. She prided herself to be a self-taught and self-reliance, she also a hardheaded person that not knows the word defeat.
Even thought she had perceived the people around her and their mockery toward her, She didn't retaliate as she knows that if she caused trouble, the one who helped her might received the blunt. At the same time, students wouldn't lift a finger on her as they were afraid to get punish.
Until now...
*****
('Sigh' what exactly I'm gonna do now? This girl reminded me of my old man. Smile for once girl!) [Divion]
The girl is currently is walking at the small path leading to nowhere. While I was admiring the beautiful sunset. It still odd to me that I can feel the heat of the sun rays and smell the wind smelled of grass.
What am I exactly? I definitely don't feel hungry nor don't any kind of organ within me. I don't even feel my beating heart anymore. How am I even alive?
That old man said I was a parasitic spirit slime... What is that creature, I don't know. What I do know is that I was not a human being anymore and I'm afraid I am not gonna go back.
My body is that of a harden red substance that taken shape of a plated armor that is covering this girls body. I also see what is inside of her beyond the clothes she wear. I still feel emotion when I see her body naked but my experience with women lessen my desire. In fact I'm used to seeing woman’s body that I wouldn't look for more than 3 seconds of this girls body.
This odd feeling I feel my body was hallow. How do I capable to think when I don't have brain? Or maybe when this girl fished-in me in the river of soul and get absorb by this girls outer body I might possessed her.
Then if that's the case, that explains a lot that I could live even without organs.
But that old man said I absorb mana to live? What is that? Would that mean that I am absorbing this girl's mana? Now that I think about it, I do feel I'm absorbing something yet I couldn't explain what it is. My whole body is literally this girls suit, and I feel this soothing and warm feeling this girls releasing all over her body as it directly being absorb by my body in a snail pace.
The question still add up to the list yet still all unanswered.
I do not know how long I will lay low and comprehend what I am dealing. This is not the life that I know and don't even want to want. I am the type of guy that enjoys freedom and also a guy that control not being control. Having this girl taking command while I watched her dragging(Wearing) my body leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
While I begrudgingly this girl even though she's innocent, I feel a sign of danger at the left side behind the bushes that is covering the side of the pathway like a wall.
I often having this feeling even when I was still on earth. Like when my sister is in danger. There was a time she tripped herself somewhere at school while I was on the work, then I feel this distress feeling. My hunch were correct when I rushed in the school and seeing my sister already getting out of the gate with a bruised left knees.
I immediately rushed her In the nearest hospital and the doctor looked baffled saying something about my sister only had a minor wounds and can be treated at home with normal medical kit.
I argued with that stupid doctor. That old doctor doesn't know anything, what if my sister is traumatized because of what happened or her left smooth knees will left a scar for life.
But I was convince to leave by my sister who looked embarrassed at the situation. To retain my dignity I didn't argue anymore and leave out the place. She must have embarrassed because she think her onichan brought her to the hospital that are lacking of technology that can cure my sister's left knees. Hmp... Stupid doctor.
This is what I am feeling now, my skill was heighten greatly that I unknowingly know that something is going to attack any seconds now. I'm not a psychic okay! This was pure intuition that gained after long meditation. Even spider man would beg me to teach this ability to him.
That's right!!!! Having a desire to protect my sister greatly, I put many hidden camera all over the house and observe my little sister's every action so that I can protect her greatly.
I spend I mountain of hour meditating thinking of my sister in my mind and almost die of blood losses coming out of my nose just to cultivate my sense of intuition!!!.
I called it...
*ONICHAN SENSE*!!!
Why is my *Onichan Sense* is alerting me? This ability is solely for my sister and I died protecting my sister using this ability.
I'm not this girl's onichan. We are practically strangers and met only for an hour. Why would I helped this girl? This girl that I suspected of being bullied. A pitiful girl that looked defiant just by looking into her eyes. A girl that is a lot like someone I knew...
I click my tongue, the girl stop walking and probably heard of my clicking tongue. I promised earlier that I'm gonna lay low, and that was 10 minutes ago!!.
And until I comprehend this new world logic, that is the time I'll make contact to this girl. It's better being slow and careful than rushing or acting on something without any knowledge or plans.
This is like the stock market where you buy stock and find out the value is getting down then you immediately pulled out the investment and find out the other day its getting up again.
I was called an opportunist by many and experience many ups and downs in business, so I know what it feels like taking advantage and being taken advantage.
From the beginning I knew that I was a rare kind of being to this world.
The old man was wrong, I'm not a spirit beast nor certainly not a parasitic spirit slime.
I hope I'm making a right decision and hope this girl is as innocent as it could be, or else, I'll end up as a slave or worst, if this girl would tell someone in power about me and started experimenting on me, I rather die if that happens.
My senses is being heighten to an even higher level, telling me an attack is coming. I doubt this clueless girl know someone is attacking her. Not to mention she stopped walking and looks around like an idiot. She's like a sitting dock, waiting to be shot.
The girl might get hurt or worst getting killed by the incoming attack base on the feeling of danger I am feeling.
I finally made a decision....
I then feel something is being fire. My perception of time is getting slowed. Its like I was filled with adrenaline yet powerless to make a move. The shot made 11 meter away from our location, there is only 2 seconds before it hit us. I somehow knew the trajectory that is being targeting on. I feel the mass of energy that looked like a circular ball like object, and with some excess energy being pushed at the back, forming like a tail. It was big enough to engulf the girl whole.
There's no time to hesitate. I may regretted my action but I somehow guilty for not doing anything. Not to mention I am included of being hit.
“Duck girl!!!” [Divion]
I called out the girl out loud. Fortunately she wasn't startled and being idiot while saying 'Who's there?' while looking at every direction.
She followed my call and duck immediately with a confusion written down to her face.
The fiery mass of ball disintegrate the bushes on the left side before passing and disintegrate the right side bush and grind into the ground, leaving a strait trail of destruction.
The girls whole body Planked on the ground and avoided the fiery mass of ball that was only inch away at her back.
Cold sweat ran down to my spine, even I haven't had one anymore.
If I didn't made an immediate decision, me and the girl will no doubt toast by now, it may not be a toast anymore but will turn us into a coal.
“Hahaha! Look at the commoner! She's kissing the ground” [??]
“My my... to think she dodge that” [??]
I heard a mocking tone at the left side of the road, over the once was green, head tall bush.
11 meters away on the left side of the road, two teenage boy and girl was seen. The girl grimace when she turn her head over the mocking voices.
They are very familiar to me as I seen them an hour. Also the fact that this two stand out the most out of the children inside the tower.
They are the blue haired boy and the red head girl.
They held the most contempt to the girl base on their expression they had shown alone. They reminds me of my former friend as they bullied the poor and needy people. Even I didn't join their bullying I also overlooked their action since they were my friends. But my eyes was opened when not a single one of my friend visited me in my times of my vulnerability or even sending me a message of condolence I didn't receive.
These two children are rotten to the core. I blame their parent's upbringing that turned them into this state. I was lucky that my father was strict to us and teach us values. My mother once told me that she is the luckiest woman in the world for having a good husband in exchange, mother stayed fateful and cut ties of her women friends that were infidels.
“Did you look at her face when she saw her spirit beast, pft!! hahaha! That was hilarious” [Ravan]
“Fufufu... She walked at the magic circle with full of confidence then she become ugly than she already is, when she saw it” [Ronda]
“A commoner always stay a commoner hahaha!!!” [Ravan]
“Even she dressed like us, she still look like a commoner” [Ronda]
They looked down at the girl who was kissing the ground. Kinda pisses me off since I was the main factor of their mockery. I kinda want to kill them, but I refrain for having negative thoughts. I'm a adult after all and they are still children even though rotten. Not to mention I was wasn't capable to harm them.
The girl is getting up slowly, her face is dirty because she had kiss the ground and the mixed of sweat covering her face made her look too pitiful. The white robe she used to wear has a burnt marks at the back which had slightly touches the fire.
“You!” [Alnoa]
She send an a accusing look at the two over the burnt bushes. There was a hint of pain written on her face as she is unable to hide it. I was certain she wasn't that hurt, physically that is. I wasn't sure about her mental state.
What I viewed so far of their relationship is the bully and the bullied, and this two had been doing it for long.
“Whoa!!! what's this!, is the commoner finally going to fight?” [Ravan]
“Fufu... she probably wet herself behind that disgusting armor” [Ronda]
I feel her trembling. Whether it's because she's scared or angry, I don't know. Or probably both...
“All the time... I could have died...” [Alnoa]
The last sentence was low, but it was enough to be heard by the two. Seeing that the girl who wouldn't attempt fight, the two laugh like a hysterically.
The boy hold her stomach as he couldn't stop laughing and the girl just standing there, holding a fan on her right hand as she covered her mouth with it. She probably similar of those sadistic rich married women who liked to inflict pain on the servants for pleasure. They grin widely as it stretches upward. She probably hiding it behind that violet fan as it might show her hideous face.
“And what of it commoner? It's not like you died” [Ronda]
“You are just a pauper living amongst the most prestigious. An indigent that dirtied the name of the noble's school has no right to complain, a leeching slut that sold her body just to get in the noble's school” [Ravan]
Having said that, the boy's face is showing disdain and disgust. The boy probably hate this girl to the bone. He clearly looking down on the girl. The boy stated that this girl sold her body to enter a noble school? I've seen many poor women with only good looks as an assets. They tend to cling on rich older men for their money in exchange for pure pleasure. I've seen it all, but not all of them are bad. There are some who has a great ambition yet couldn't fulfilled them because of lacked of resources and have no choice but to sell themselves.
One of my secretary is one of those. I've met her in a ghetto of a certain country in Asia, as I was contributing for a certain NGO on that country for food and medical check up for the poor when a skinny woman attempting to seduce me. Not only she don't have breast to show, she also have a flat ass.
But I figured out later that the poor woman has a brains to be prided on. Feeling pity of her, I hired her as coffee maker and maid to clean in my office. And out of curiosity I taste her body as it was the first time tasting a scrawny body with a cute face. To my surprised, The woman was inexperience. That was the good times. Moreover there was something in me that is attracted to a hard working woman, this was probably the caused of me trusting her.
As I seen this girl, she wasn't the type of them all. This was just an assumption of me as my intuition is probable most of the time. Even I haven't know people by their personality, I could somehow tell their history just by looking at them, I think...
“That's not true! The reason I...” [Alnoa]
“You don't have to hide it. How can a commoner like you mysteriously allowed to attend this school without any background? It's simple really~. You've been selling your body to the higher nobles. I asked my father years ago to make a petition to make a protest to the castle but it was rejected. When father came back from the castle, he denied me any answer and only said I shouldn't involve any further. You must have seduce my father and the nobles at the castle at that time!” [Ronda]
“My father was also at the castle on the same day. How dare you seduce my father!” [Ravan]
Wow. That's the only right word I could utter at the moment. This three teenagers was still in their 16 years of maturity, as I base it in their physical body and immature faces. Yet their conversation was on the higher level and was rarely occur in real life. It was like watching a R18 drama filled hatred and death.
The boy and girl's speech was exaggerated and baseless, coming from a teenage mind. I could see anger withing their eyes. The girl argue back but was denied her freedom of speech. Kids here really matures early...
“Your wrong! I wasn't doing anything like that! It was the 5th concubines of the king requested for me to be admitted here!” [Alnoa]
Out of desperation to inform her case, she shouted loudly. But that only made the two to rage more with fury.
“You still dare to deny it! Tyrant red-flaming snake!” [Ronda]
The huge flaming red snake behind the girl open its mouth. A reddish-yellow orb suddenly appear at the snake's mouth. I felt another tingling sensation the moment the flaming snake is looking at our direction with it's mouth open. The red orb suddenly burst out of the mouth of the snake at is heading right to our direction.
Shit! The red orb is traveling in at a breakneck pace. And is heading straight to us!
I again feel the time slow. This was not similar to adrenaline when your life is in the brink of danger. What I am feeling is a different kind of a slowed time. I could tell the right trajectory of the red orb is aiming at and it is heading directly at the girls head.
I can perceive the slowed time in a normal manner, which means I still have time to do something. Alright, now what I am going to do? There are still 1 minute left of my current perception of time before it hit the girls head and I can guarantee you its gonna left a huge hole in her head if it hit. The red head girl seriously intending to kill the girl.
There is something wrong with this world! How could the authorities let children play with dangerous elements! It's comparable to giving a gun on children as a birthday present to kill people.
“Hahaha! She looked like a hopping frog! Then how about this! Aquarian Cerberus! Give her a bath, she stink of a commoner.”[Ravan]
The blue-furred, three-headed giant dog started to run at our direction. I was surprised of what I am seeing right now! The running dog began to melt into a transparent-blue liquid as it continuing approaching the girl. Seriously! What force of nature could do this!? How does a blue dog become a puddle of transparent blue liquid and capable to still moving. I feel like watching 3d movies without a high quality 3d glasses.
The girl couldn't prepare of the incoming attack. She still lied on the floor with an agonizing grunt. She must had hurt after that stunt, Unaware of the approaching transparent-blue water surge. I couldn't do anything on this kind of situation. Even if I said a warning, the girl still hurt and barely moving. The wave of transparent-blue water began devouring the girl whole. I too feel the sticky liquid as it cover my body. She has no time to be surprised as the liquid swallowed her whole and soon unable to catch breath.
“Pft! Look how she squirm!” [Ravan]
I swear I remember that boy for the rest of my life. Even if this girl die and probably including me to, I'll never forget that face of him.
The girl tried to swim upward by the liquid is sticky and hard to move. She still in the middle of the blob of liquid and unable to move forward, She finally fell into panic and desperation as she begins to paddle her both hand and feet faster.
While the girl desperately finding air to breath and her movement look ridiculous, the two teenagers laugh at loud at the girl's suffering.
That red head girl too, I'll make sure you also pay.
Finally... the girl movement slowing down. Until she could only twitch her body. I also feel the energy called mana slowly getting lower...
The laughter finally died down.
“'Yawn' this is getting boring. Ravan how about you let that filth go, we already had our fun and tested our magical beast's power. Not to mention... The commoner dying at the school grounds might live us a bad aftertaste from the headmaster” [Ronda]
“Hehe~ you're right about that, we might lost our entertainment soon. Aquarian Cerberus, return to me” [Ravan]
The transparent-blue liquid began to compress and immediately transformed into its first form. I still have no idea how did that work.
The girl fell onto the ground without breath and opened eyes. I too feel cold. This is like a feeling of hunger. The lack of nutrition of the body and at the same time hadn’t eaten for a long time...
To understand the people of impoverish state of Africa, I decided to eat the same food of the poor. I've experience lacked of nutrition after 2 days. My body couldn't adapt the environment and the condition living. This is what I am experiencing now. Cold, hungry and slowly getting sleepy...
“Hm... Did she died from that? Well she's weak after all. Hey do you have something in mind?” [Ravan]
“Lets see~ Oh! Let try this, 'Tyrant Red-Flaming Snake' give her a wake up call please~” [Ronda]
I still have enough energy to see all of my surroundings, I was looking at the two teenagers with resentment. I soon see the big,red snake approaching at our direction, Without my power to slow my perception of time, I could only see the tail blur and hit us in the stomach. Guh! I felt that you bastard. The feeling was like my head is hurting like something hard bashed into my head. In exchange for not having a proper carbon base body, I must be receiving a mental damage instead of the physical one.
The abdomen part of my body(armor) was shattered from the tail's attack as I(we) was send flying for more than 6 meters and fall on the ground. And some miracle, the girl suddenly cough loudly and inhaling a huge amount of air and cough again continuously. I feel energize to as the warm feeling returning in my body and the pain before was no more as if it wasn't there at the beginning.
“Whoa! She really lives!” [Ravan]
“As expected of me. I can even bring the dead back to life fufufu~” [Ronda]
“That's my fiancee!” [Ravan]
“Your embarrassing me” [Ronda]
“How about a kiss to commemorate of saving that commoner” [Ravan]
“Stop it! At least not in public! And we still need to show our spirit beast to our parents.” [Ronda]
“Fine! Then what are we waiting for! Lets go!” [Ravan]
Commemorate my ass, you were the one had caused this mess from the beginning.
They completely forgot about the girl. They didn't even give a single glance at her after knowing she's alive and starting flirting to each other. Soon, they walked away along with their animals.
I'll remember this!
The pitiful girl is drench with liquid as looked at the ground in daze. She's shivering and do not to what to do. After minutes passed by, she regain her composure and slowly getting up with a passive face, as if nothing happen to her. But the swaying motion of her body as she walk slowing couldn’t fool anyone by looking.
The abdomen part of my body that was destroyed is slowly growing and repairing itself.
“Hey... were you the one that warned me of danger?” [Alnoa]
(…......) [Divion]
I didn't answer her question. This case still can be salvage. As long as the girl only stay suspicious without any solid prof of my existence yet. I still could come up of a plan and have a time to study this new world. I still don't trust that girl. Call me a narcissist, even I feel sorry for her, but I too want to live.
I don't have an idea what lies behind the after-life or it may just a fabrication that giving off a peaceful feeling and turns out I was being slowly drag in hell. Satan must be playing tricks on me for giving me hope and turns out I'll just be burned for eternity.
I may be grateful to the girl for dragging me into this new world.
My current position was this girl's weapon, I've seen the destructive and unexplained phenomenon that the huge animals the teenagers commanded. Then what if they were not the only ones and many more and more powerful than the brats.
I need to sort many of my questions first. Until I was satisfied, I'll just pretend I wasn't the one that warned the girl.
The girl was the same when It come to desiring power. I've seen in her eyes the same as my father when he desperately overturning the company into glory; the eyes filled with conviction and dreams.
The only differences is that this girl is still young and prone to make mistake. I might take all the blunt when my existence has been revealed because this girl's mouth had slip out something about my existence.
“Thank you...” [Alnoa]
She thank me and closed her eyes as if trying to search for me, but was unable to. She continued walking slowly and limping. She didn't pry any further and I'm grateful for that.
To think in less that 2 hours after I was dragged her and I already encountered a mind boggling near-death type of bulling. And this magic they speak off...
If my hypothesis is correct, I might be in a magical world...
