Emily once again!
Because of the players, the city at night wasn’t deserted anymore, it was actually a very lively scene in the center of the town, with all the people that afraid of being killed by the empowered monster came back and started doing something to pass the time while waiting for the sun to rise again. But I wasn’t in that lively center, I was in a corner of the city near the walls but away from any of the gates (a shady place for a shady demon woman), so it wasn’t safe.
I was practically running away from the presences inside my field, but they kept getting closer. When I was finally able to see the lights in the center district one of those presences caught up to me and pulled me to an alley between two buildings. It was the first time I had encountered myself with something dangerous, but strangely I wasn’t scared, I was nervous, but in a good way, like when you’re nervous because you know something exciting is going to happen to you but you don’t know what.
The presence that pulled me turned out to be a big, ugly men. The other presences were also mans, all of them ugly and wearing a green bandana somewhere in their body. The big one had a bandana in his waist and was using it like a belt. After he grabbed me he said in a grave voice while using a disgusting tone:
Hey babe, we saw you leaving the old hag’s library. It’s pretty late to be going out alone, it’s dangerous outside. What do you say about me and my guys taking you to somewhere safe?
Emily – No, thank you. You’re not exactly the prince charming I have in mind.
I was still hooded at the time.
Belt bandana – Pretty brave for a little girl – And he pulled my hood down.
Oh, so you’re no little girl but a lusty succubus? Even better.
Emily – Look dude, I’m not in the mood for little games right now since I’m really behind some other players in the lvl race.
Belt Bandana – What’re you talking about? He said while making a confused face.
Emily – Even if I told you, it’s not like it’s going to make any difference because I’m going to kill you now for some lovely experience.
So, as I said that, I pushed him and the other thugs down, I couldn’t properly lift them or anything like that because my telekinesis was only at level one and I didn’t had much intelligence yet. So I did what I could. When they hit the ground I took their knifes (by now you can assume that everything I’m doing is with telekinesis, I’m never using my hands again now that I don’t need to) and lifted them menacingly around me. They only looked at me with horror in their faces and saw me grinning as the knifes slashed their throats.
That went easier then I tough it would…
I got some experience, and their bandanas dropped when their bodies disappeared. While I was looting the bandanas I noticed a little boy looking at me with a scared face from the entrance of the alley, so I smiled to him and pushed him really lightly, just enough to wake him up from his shock then I got up and left the alley and while walking to the bright town center I could see the boy running away. At the time I didn’t give it any tough, but I should had.
Anyway, as I passed through all those people and saw them laughing, doing delivery quest to the npcs, screaming while trying to sell their precious loot that they hunted themselves from the most dangerous monster around (giggles), I felt a little jealous for being left out of the fun, so I entered a tavern that seemed more lively and greeted the attendant at the bar and after I sat down i asked for a drink. So he said:
Got any money on you to pay for it?
Emily – Ooops! I forgot about that. Do you have anything for 50 coppers? – It was half of what I had at the time.
Attendant – Sorry honey, that ain’t even enough to buy a single dose.
I was about to leave when a very robust, red headed woman intervened and said:
Give the girl the biggest mug you can find filled with the cheaper, and on my opinion, the best beer! It’s on me.
After he have me the mug I looked at the woman and said very loudly while raising my full mug:
Cheers!
And the whole tavern screamed the same after me, and together we gulped down our drinks… And that’s the last thing I remember from that night. Sad reality, even in the game, while liking to drink I was still a weak drinker. Thank god for my genes that didn’t let me have hangovers.
I woke up the next morning in a strange bed. Slightly panicked I checked to see if everything was okay and in order. I wasn’t naked or hurt so by my standards it was a good night. Knowing that I was fine I looked around, I was in tiny room made of wood logs and it was decorated with some very interesting masks that looked like they came from a zombie voodoo movie. There was also a small cabinet next to the bed and on top of it was a note telling me to go outside, so I did.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Outside of the room, there was a door right in front of it, probably leading to another room, and next to it were stairs, leading to another small corridor at it base there. I got down the stairs and went through the door at the end of the corridor, ignoring the other two doors on its side and found myself looking to the diminutive plains outside the city and its walls. I immediately put my hood on since it was already sunny outside.
I walked a little bit around the house and noticed it was exactly next to the forest and the path leading to it. As i noticed it was the place I was supposed to be I hear a feminine voice saying from behind me:
You’re Emily and Lucy sent you here to learn.
Emily – Yes, Lucy sent me here after I showed interest in learning tailoring.
As I said that I turned around, and to my surprise, standing there was the same woman that had paid for my drink last night.
Madam Rouge – I’m Madam Rouge, but you can call me Rou. Before I start teaching you anything, show me what kind of magic you can use.
Emily – How do you know that I can use magic?
Rou – Because you’re here. Lucy only lead people to me when she thinks they have potential. If you were a normal girl she would have introduced you to some simple tailor in town.
Emily – She said you would only teach me after you tested me, is this the test?
Rou, while chuckling – You have already passed the test last night when you showed everyone how fun much you can have when you want. I only want to know what kind of magic you can use as curiosity. You see, I can use nature magic, especially involving plants (she said while making a diminutive sapling grow next to her feet by making a small hand gesture) and I am an alchemist. Lucy on the other hand uses dark magic and specialize in curses, she is also a very capable scribe.
Emily – Okay, if you really want to know what I can do.
So after I said that I activated my field and felt some small animals beneath the earth, then I pulled them up, making the ground burst as some poor marmots flew to the sky and fell back again in the ground.
Rou said while laughing between every sentence – You can make small mammals burst from the ground, that’s some interesting magic. What's next? You’re going to make them fly?
Emily – If that’s what you want!
So I threw the marmots at her (poor marmots, I was in a bad mood at the moment for not remembering what I had done last night… She said I had fun and I wanted to remember!)and some weird vines came from the ground and wiped them away.
Rou – OOOH GOD! You can actually make them fly... I can see your angry face, just give me a moment to stop laughing, I get what kind of magic you’re using. (giggles)
So you use dark magic from the mind brand. That’s some hard magic to learn by yourself in such a short time as you did. I can see that you’re very capable.
Emily – What’s this all about woman?
Rou – Lucy, and me now, thinks you can become a witch like us. All you have to do now is learn a craft were you can use your magic on and that’s it. We witches, although powerful in our magic of choice, can’t use any other branch of magic and we’re excellent crafters as long it involves our choice of magic, thus making it witchcraft. What do you say, do you want to be one of us?
You have been offered a quest!Quest Rank:ERou offered to change your class to witch. A witch can only learn one type of magic but she learns it 20% faster and it can exceed the actual maximum expertise level. A witch can also customize any craft she picks up by using her magic and any craft she learns become a subcategory of witchcraft.
Before you can become a witch Rou wants you to learn a craft and use your power to create something.Do you accept?YesNo
Oh my damn! A hidden class and the perfect one to me! Thank you Goddess of Versailles!
Emily – Yes! I do want to become a witch.
Rou – Then come with me little one.
Emily – You do now that I’m taller then you right? Unless you’re comparing our weights, then it’s another story.
She gave me a murderous side look and I swear I heard her hiss while a snake tongue came out of her mouth as she said:
Rou – Just enter in my house before I decide to kill you.
Emily – Okey-Dokey.
