It feels like I am free, without any care in the world, no mask just my happy, smiling face while humming some theme songs inside my head as we traveled down the street. However, the clothes I had been wearing up to now….. were really a pain… luckily I figured out how to use blood magic.

Neat huh? I mean it uses a lot of mana along with my own blood; I guess my health goes down when I use it… but I can just create clothes to my liking. After storing the clothes I had inside my item box, by stripping pretty much naked in the middle of the road, Rose and Nimue were raising hell as to why I am doing it, but stopped once my clothing started to appear around me.

Skull earrings with blood gems engraved within just in case the clothing is torn. I could just use what I have the gems for with shorts for starters, so why did the original me not seem to change that? Meh….

The shorts went half way above my knees and are tight fitting, black of course, while the top was a simple black overcoat with a black string T-shirt that fits snug against my skin. I also put my hair put up in a similar twin tailed look then in the common girls used in a bit of the shows I seem.

This is way better than the way she had it before….

The coat itself went down to my knees, as the boots really were just leather with red fur around the tops of them. Nothing fancy.

This is more comfortable. The old style worked I guess… but to have the same style over a long period of time is boring.

“Halt!” Guard A.

… Really? Do I have to stop for this scum?

“Identify yourself.” Guard B.

…. Really?

“I am the Royal Knight of My Lady Jona, my name is Nimue Blu Alister.” Nimue.

Nimue responded, seeming to understand my annoyance.

The guards seemed to have straighten up and let us in after making me get some sort of temporary pass in the shape of a bracelet… really? Such a pain…. already ruins the mood because it is a bright yellow, not even the color of gold, so unimpressive.

As we made it into the fort, I couldn’t help but feel disgusted by all the trash walking around.

I mean look... they are neglecting small children on the side of the street crying, and not even stopping to help the poor kids.

“Children, why are you crying?” Jona.

“I… lost my mommy..” Child A.

“I… am so hungry….” Child B.

“I hurt… in my stomach…” Child C.

All three of them look more or less under the age of ten, but the girl that I called Child C seems… to have been through a harsh time leaving me with a sad expression while looking at all of them.

“I will help you find your mommy, and you come here” Jona.

I told the boy which I deem Child A, and told Child C to come forward, while handing dried meat to all three of the kids before placing my hand on the head of the girl, and healing her wounds with a bit of my own blood as the price.

This surprised her and made me dizzy a bit. I have already used too much making my clothes, and healing a poor child on top of that.

They have seemed to stop crying and I found Child A’s mother, which was really the mother of both Child A and Child B, and she had thanked me the best she could in a hurry before taking the kids off telling them something about not bothering nobles.

It also turns out Child C is a half-elf and her parents didn’t care for her and threw her out on the street with nowhere to go and some bad men cornered her and hurt her.

Abandoning her here would leave a bad taste in my mouth, so I told her she can serve under me.

She seemed shocked at the matter, but followed me anyhow.

Once I got a room at the inn for us, I talked Nimue into helping her and teaching her how to moderately fight and train while I have some other things to take care of.

Time to make these bad men… taste justice…

Since their dirty smell was on the poor child, also some of their blood was on her? Well kind of was in her… which really made me wonder if they didn’t have some sort of problem down below.

It turns out I found myself in the slums with a bunch of trash littering the road….

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Walking my way through it and killing anyone that got in my way in the funniest ways, by just cutting their clothes off, for men making them bleed from their beloved place until the blood left their bodies…

These people all have the smell of death on them anyhow. They kept trying to grope and rape me along the way while I was searching for the people that I want to target.

Indeed this is fun… never thought cleaning up trash would be this fun.

The blood from the trash following behind me in a ball about the size of a globe shooting out arrows at anyone that drew a sword at me, or even tried to attack…. These people are weaker then I had thought them to be…

But then the boss of this place came up behind me without me realizing and cut my back open pretty wide….

Ugh I have to use the blood of trash to heal myself…. even while I healed he didn’t stop slashing at me until all the blood was used and I was feeling rather sick and dizzy from the blood being so disgusting. I lost myself in a blood rage because of all of the blood that I consumed and when I came to...

Every one of the dirty trash looked like they were raisins with no blood left in them, and I felt bloated…

Why is it people inside towns or forts always weaker then the people outside? Though… I have noticed I did heal my wounds… but didn’t really heal my mana or health….

Odd… I can keep regenerating but… my health will still slowly go down by using blood of others… and won’t heal…

But the blood of Nimue can heal me… but the rest...

It just makes me heal my wounds, while my health slowly ticks down.

I guess it is the cost of being this powerful? That I use my health down too I have only one hundred healths left…. So tired…

By the time I got back to the inn, the girl was asleep and curled up in Nimue’s lap.

I am hungry; I took a nice bite out of her neck ended up healing my health back to max, and leaving her tired.

“You should really warn me first!” Nimue.

“Shhh you’ll wake her.” Jona.

Smiling evilly at her then, smiling sweetly at the girl. All children should be treated with love and care.

Then somehow my form seemed to break leaving me back in my Elven form….

Ehh??? Ehhh!!!!!

I did all that! Oh God… oh God… I didn’t expect a different form would influence my whole personality…

Putting up a mask, and looking at Nimue.

“Sorry… I lost control……” Jona.

“Oh? It’s fine… I kind of liked the wild side of you…” Nimue.

I.. didn’t expect my own desire that I keep hidden… so deep that even Rose didn’t find it to jump out in my Vampire form… hell I didn’t even expect it to come out…

But... the anger I felt when Nimue was at a near death state… I just…. snapped….

The rest of the time in the fort was used to gather supplies and information on where to avoid at the moment in the beast kingdom.

And new clothes… since the clothes I made in Vamp form was kind of just for looks… really I can still make different clothes using the same magic.. as long as the earrings have their supply, but the little girl, that I found out was named Kira, didn’t have much clothes meant for travel, and my magic seemed to only work on myself… other then healing and such I can’t use any of that outside of that form.

But… the cost of fighting and that magic really harms the health of the body… and wears down on the mentality the more the magic is used.

Because I still remember the black out when the rage came around, without any control over it.

Makes that race the hardest to get use to and the deadliest I have so far, that I know of… since it takes my health away in return for power. It seems a bit over powered, but the time per battle really is short, and if I have to fight someone that is like a Paladin that’s good at healing and can stop myself from cutting his/her skin I can’t use my magic to drain him… and by the time  I did any damage my health would be too low to keep fighting.

The worst part is… my disgust of people is now known by Rose, and probably Nimue….

I keep that side of me pretty much sealed long with most of my emotions that I can control, because they have caused me nothing but trouble in my life.

Just look at what I did with just a few days? I mean totally a troublesome pain….

It could have had treasures in that cave… but no my disgust got the better of me and I just destroyed anything in it along with that disgusting smell.

Hell I didn’t even check to see if there was other cages with other people held captive; I just destroyed the place I didn’t want to be in.

Going back to the inn after everything was picked up and ready for tomorrows travels. We found out Kira has a high magic capability. So we found some beginner books and intermediate spell books to help her learn and for me to remember all of them so I can use them as reference in the future.

Sadly the only real spells she can use is Fire, Water, and minor Holy magic. Making it really a pain to teach her, though holy magic I got her up to being able to heal us with the beginner spells, like shield and healing touch, her fire isn’t any better than that other girl, but her water on the other hand… was her best she could even learn the intermediate ice lance spell… though it would take all of her mana to do just one.

So we worked Kira and I until our mana was almost gone and went to sleep in the same bed, since she didn’t want to sleep alone.

{POV: Kira}

My mommy hates me…. same as my daddy… once I turned ten they threw me out in the middle of the road…. without any care…. they even beat me ever since I could remember… but at least they feed me….

Then when I finally found a place of people… I was so hungry… I didn’t know what to do…

Crying while looking for anyone to help me a big middle age man said he would give me some food, if I followed him…

Not knowing anything bad would happen because he seemed to care with a gentle voice and smiled at me…  no one’s ever done that before….

But what really happened was… he hurt me in places… then leaving me on the side of the road… with just a piece of hard bread…..

I cried my hardest cause I didn’t want to hurt anymore….

But an Elven lady, with a knight like Elf beside her, came up to me and asking why we are crying….

She even gave us food without harming us first… and she made my pain go away….

She even brought the two boys to their mother and when I told her I didn’t have a place to go… because my parents threw me out.

She had had a face that looked like she wanted to cry and took me with her to a nice room….

She even asked her knight to teach me a bit…

It was hard… but she didn’t make me push myself.. she was patient with me and slowly showed me what I did wrong and did it with a more gentle voice… filled with love… something I never felt before but always dreamed of….

The other girl just a little older than me had left and came back before I could realize it… and let me even sleep with her…. And bought me clothes… food… and said I could stay with her…

I saw her read hard on the magic books so she could better teach me…

Is this how having a mother really feels like?

Falling asleep thinking I finally found the place I want to be….
