YAY!!!! i can finally breath again. So if you didn't read my last post i had fallen i'll with a terrible disease and was unable to post, but now i am better...mostly. Anyway here is your due chapter plus a poll. BTW in case you didn't know i set items to have a lavender color so i hope you like.
Poll question: how do you like your gods?
I was led by merrick through the palace. Considering this is the home of the Monarch of the Earth fae it's quite nice. The halls are decorated with carvings and statues made in gold, silver, jade, marble and even obsidian. The Floors are all a cool dark colored stone that reminds you of the earth, and all the walls are all colored dark green with tapestries and green glow orbs dotting them.
“So…..you apparently work for a princess...what's that like”
“Good”
“....care to elaborate on that” i asked.
“Tribe attacked. Mistress help tribe. Tribe sick. Mistress help. Tribe no sick more. Tribe hungry. Mistress give food. Tribe hunger no. Tribe pledge to mistress. Mistress good”
“Oh…”
Based on what he said it sounds like the princess found the kobolds sick and dying most likely from some monster. She cured them and gave them food after finding out they were sick then they must have pledged to serve her. I wonder though what caused a kobold tribe to be starved and dying of sickness.
“Well i guess the princess is very important to you then huh”
“Mistress good”
I guess this takes care of some of my reservations about the princess at least. Although she does come off as a rather kind person at first based on what she said about helping someone else take the throne instead of her i still want to find out more about her.
After a few minutes merrick leads me up a flight of stairs onto a 2nd floor. The floor here is made of a shiny wood with green painted walls and more glow orbs lighting the way. We come to a stop outside a door made with of a light tan wood and plain iron hinges. He opens the door to reveal a rather simple quarters about 10 meters long and 5 meters wide. Inside is a simple bed made of wood, a desk, a cupboard and a wardrobe.
“Down hall is bathroom. Food come to room soon” he walked off back the way we came.
The room in which i was given was nothing special, but it was at least not in the middle of a forest at night. I plop down on the bed and lay down on my back. I think now is a good time to reflect over my day so far. I went ot the forest to train, met a boar, had a tussle, powered up, lost an arm and a leg, met some kobolds, had another tussle, and traveled to another dimension anchored to mine and met a princess…...yes i can confirm without a doubt that my life is crazy.Since i am still wide awake and have nothing better to do i decide to go over my spoils from the fight with the boar.
I take out from my storage space a tooth from the boar. When i was taking apart the boar i noticed that none of the bones had broke and all the vital organs like the heart were still intact. This prompted me to find out what had killed it. When i was skinning it i found that the neck had been broken by the force of the crash which is scary because even the skull which had received a direct hit from a who knows how many metric ton of rock and still was unbroken and kyanu said that this was only a baby. I’d hate to imagine what it would grow up to be.
The tooth however is the size of my entire arm or at least my entire left arm. The tooth is a pale white color with jagged edges on the sides. I originally thought i could make daggers or other ivory products out of this super tough stuff but when my mana arm touched the tooth i realized something. The blue glow of mana my arm produced was being sucked into the tooth every time it got near.
“Mythical beasts!” i whispered to myself.
There exists a class of ancient and powerful monsters bless by or chosen by gods or powerful deities to be their sacred animal or because they embody the virtue or aspect of that god. Monsters like unicorns who represent Purity and innocence , and the Pegasus for power, speed and glory. One of the traits of a mythical beast is that it can absorb the mana surrounding it as time goes on to sustain itself, in a way they have eternal life. However if this was a mythical beast then i am probably in deep shit as kyanu said that heaven was in uproar.
Slaying a mythical beast chosen by a god is usually the quickest way to piss them off, it's like killing an ultra powerful beings dog or pet goldfish. So now i pissed of not only the entire council but also a specific god that most has a raging demonic boar as his pet. The boar represents strength and courage so i’m pretty sure i angered a war god or something but i do not know the specifics. If i had to guess i would say it comes down to three different gods none particularly forgiving. Torrent, god of war, Slavio, patron god of mercenaries, and Dharnark, the god murders. Seriously, why can’t i offend the god of beautiful women or the god of cute bunnies. Although i’m not sure i want to offend the former.
Ever since i changed genders things have been really awkward whenever i think about something that involves my old life and it doesn't help that i was a teen when i died. I don’t think of “those things” intentionally, its just those things that wander into a person's heads on a hot summer night. Since i don’t have a “soldier” now whenever i think those things i start feeling weird down there and my nipples get hard and-AGGGGHHHH what the fuck is going on.
I am a ten year old girl and this is happening already, and i haven’t even started puberty yet. I think that in every gender bender novel i heard the otaku guy say that the main character was always concerned for their bust size, and it’s not like my boobs are supposed to grow big yet. I reach up and give them a little push. That princess had boobs the size of grape fruits, but now that i am a girl i don’t know weather i should be envious or stare at the magnificent size.
“Enough about boobs, focus fraxia” i say to myself.
As far as the possible gods that want to kill me goes i’ll have to find out more later but for now let's check the rest of the spoils. I count up a total of 20 usable ribs and 30 teeth as well as a number of assorted bones. The meat i got from the boar is still fresh and there's loads of it, but i can’t eat this much so i’m going to have to figure something out. Normally when i hunt i feed what i get to the bear cub back at the hideout but i don’t think that it can eat this much meat. Besides that i have the eyes and heart, a good amount of stone skin hide and the tusks which i can’t materialize in this room or i would possibly break something. I don’t know what i am going to do with such big pieces though, but i definitely can’t take it to sell them because of A) i am a 10yr old. B) How do i explain where i got them. Their as tall as me and about 4 times thicker with a luster on them that you would only find in high class animals.
I could possibly make some items out of them but i need the tools first. The eyes and the heart can be used to in alchemy which i need the materials for but i could possibly eat the heart. I heard somewhere that a heart of an animals is very nutritious so by that logic a bigger animals must have better nutrients in it...right? The eyes i can see about asking kyanu about them and their uses but for now let's also take a look at my status and the changes to it.

...isn’t there something weird listed in that last reward?
Wait is it serious that i could get a human bound to me, but that's no better than slavery. If one takes bound to mean “stuck with for the rest of your life” then i could inadvertently wind up with a human or beastkin as a slave. In this world, there are 2 types of slaves, General slaves and criminal slaves. Criminal slaves are what they sound like, criminals like murderers, thieves, bandits and rapists that have been sentenced to live as a slave. General slaves are slaves people that have been turned into slaves by a myriad of different reasons from not being able to pay a debt or just being caught by slavers and turned into slaves to be sold in markets.
Slavers who surprisingly not almost always are humans, usually stay around villages and small outlying hamlets waiting for children to snatch or criminals to trap(or at least that's what the adults in the village say). Most races wouldn’t dream of imprisoning another of the same race for the sake of money, but if the price is right anything is possible and that goes same for being a slaver. Being even a general slave could get you at the bottom of a mine digging for iron if you're a boy or sold to a nobleman for his pleasure if you're a girl.
Slavery is though a legal practice in most countries, but owning a slave is usually reserved only for merchants or the wealthy and even if i don’t get a human or a beastkin i still have to worry about getting an Undead or a Dragon since i don’t feel like explaining to mum and dad why i have puff the magic dragon hidden under my bed i have come to the conclusion that i will not be choosing this option. It pains me though, my manly side would love to have a dragon or a zombie as my best pal(I’m imagining showing him off to the bullies in my past life) and my girly side is screaming for me to get a little mermaid or a realm tinkerbell instead of the one i have been making out of mana, but it would be hard to explain so i’ll take a rain check on my fantasy of spraying bullies with dragon breath and my ten year old mermaid tea party fantasies.
More stats would be nice but i’m ok with earning them and an opportunity like this to get a rare item or pet doesn’t come up everyday. I don't need more armor so i can cross that off the list so it comes down to 2 options, Mind crush or a weapon. With partial storage i could hide it from the parentals but this mind crush spell sounds great because it ignores physical defense but i do badly need a weapon i can depend on. Without a proper weapon i can’t fight well that much was obvious from my fight with the Stone skin boar but a spell like Mind crush could have easily finished off the boar earlier on in the fight. Both have their pros and cons but which should i choose.
…
....i still can’t choose.
“Meh, i pick the classical way”
The classical way, or as i like to call it, the stereotypical teenager way, involves waving my hand around and stabbing with my finger at a random object or choice. In my old life, I usually use this method to choose which takeout menu to use or what dish i was going to have on said takeout menu. Since i can’t choose let's use the old way to choose.
I close my eyes and moves around my finger and randomly stab in a direction that i approximate the notification to be in. A pleasant *DING* sounds in my ear and i open my eyes in time to see the menu close.
“Wonder what i got” i say to myself.
Suddenly in the middle of the room there was a burst of light and as the light calmed down it was at this moment again that i knew, i fucked up.
“Oh shit”
