As it is unmoving, while Rock keeps moving forward I follow slowly on guard, it somehow seems to not move… once Rock turns a corner a little ways away from it I turn to follow… keeping my left eye on the golem wondering why it didn’t try to kill me…

“That is a Guard golem it won’t attack unless you head towards the Queens chamber.” Rock

Oh… speaking as if he knew what I was thinking….

“We are here, though not sure how much of it is left you can take the blood that’s in here, it we can heal your body, though I suggest to not touch any of the weapons or gear to you got the Queens power. Cause it would cause the Guard Golems to find you as a thief and threat.” Rock

The armory… in here is mostly just a bunch of different exotic armors and weapons… the armors I would never wear… it’s even less then the plate armor I have on now… is this some swim suit armor? Anyhow… even in games I never understood that concept.

While finding blood that seemed to be in a frozen box… most of it seemed good… but blood from the unwilling…..

“Will it really heal me?” Jona

“No need to worry, the blood was donated willingly to the Queen, thus anyone of the Flame clan were to drink it would also gain the healing fact, since it is donated willingly.” Rock

Looking at it… it seems that it would partially heal me? At most give me half of my spiritual power back… but even with it back if my wounds aren’t healed… it would just… keep slowly being used.

Taking a sip of the blood just to make sure… in case it was meant to kill me I don’t want too much of it in me… I am sure I could heal a little bit of it, but if it was a lot….

While this sip seemed to have higher effect then Nimue’s blood… must be because it is extremely willing maybe from a lover?

“How… does it work?” Jona

“Blood from a willing donor such as a friend will have minor concept of healing, but if it was donated with the feeling of what… you living beings call ‘Love’ it will have a higher compatibility, even if you were to drink it, it was still donated with the feelings inside it…. means the donor put more of their mana and spiritual power in their blood without them realizing it.” Rock

I see…

While drinking one of them I was able to get more than fifty percent of my spiritual power back.

I put the rest of the five potions inside my item box… probably need to get a bag to put them in since in combat it would be impossible to take them out…

‘No… I just didn’t want you to use… that sword’ Kuro

What? Why?

‘Because that sword is annoying, and to draw a weapon like that in front of your enemies is dumb, it takes time to draw it out… potions can be quickly taken out, but if you had taken the time to draw that blade… with your skills the undead would of killed you back then.’ Kuro

She seemed to say that and vanish again… unlike Rose I can’t feel her presence inside me… only when she decides to talk do I feel her…

But somehow  I have a feeling she’s… pretty mean… and she seems to become more active when I used the vamp form… not sure how long she was there before… but maybe… that’s the reason my personality… changes so much? I admit… that’s probably the real me deep down… but it’s not the best outcome… I prefer to just keep things to myself.

I know my health isn’t fully recovered… and I am still in a weakened state, but I feel I can somewhat hold my own… or at least run away from strong monsters or people.

And now that I know hunter is useless… it didn’t even let me know Rock was there… all I got was annoying ringing sounds in my head all the time I am down here… I know it’s dangerous… so I switched it to Kunoichi since it would be easier to sneak around… hopefully.

But this stop seems to me just like they didn’t want me to start to the Queens Chamber half dead…

But blood from someone that loves me….

That is really laughable, to me I have never really had that, yes I got a feeling I get more healing then just the minor then just friendship from Nimue and Kira… and I got a feeling they love me… but they are not as good as… this… so I am really not understanding what Rock meant…

“You will have to fight, run, or die from here on out.” Rock

….

“You know I can guide you, but I am not a life form that cares for your well being, in order to get to the chamber, you most fight the two guards” Rock

…. Really, well nothing in life is easy I suppose…

“Ready…” Jona

It started moving again as it went past the Golem to the other side and turned and waited for me….

I walked up to the golem and this time it seemed to awaken and look at me.

“State your purpose” Golem

“To go past you” Jona

“Then you most past my test.” Golem

Test? I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion watching the golem while my hands are on my katana ready to fight.

“I will start now” Golem

The next thing I knew was a lot of pressure placed on me making me kneel to the ground, and making my bones to make crackling sounds as I am trying to get back up, luckily the golem isn’t moving but just watching me.

Everything went black the next minute and I was in front of my old school in my old life…

“Idiot, who told you to get high scores in class, you broke the curve… if you had just had scored lower all of us would of made a passing grade” Boy A

The next boy beside him punched me in the face sending me to the ground, while another kicked me in the gut with force to make me roll a bit while holding my side…

This should be a memory… but why am I still in female form….

“A bitch like you should just make everything easier on us…” Boy C

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

“Yeah, you can relieve our stress~” Boy A

“With her are you disgusted by that? The word is she has been around a lot… who knows what she has” Boy B

Ah… I remember now… it was a girl in my past, that had bad things spread about her just cause of how her mother worked, and I passed by it without offering my help… and she called me a friend…

But why am I living her part?

“So what, that just means she has more experience~” Boy A

Then at the corner of my eye I seen her, though I look the same as Jona, she is there and when she looked our direction she just keep going without bothering to help… just like I did.

Is this supposed to make me sad or something like regret for not helping her?

I do kind of regret it because she killed herself after… but it was her fault… no that is what I just told myself, she was a good girl that didn’t deserve anything done to her.

The boy C tried to kick me but this time I grabbed his leg and lifted it whole using my left foot to hit the back of his knee and watched him fall backwards into the Boy B behind him making him to lose footing and falling together.

“Beat it; I got better things to do” Jona

While they were all stunned I ran after the way she went… I don’t know if I can still be considered her friend, but maybe this is a way to pass… this test… so annoying…

Finding her setting on the ledge of a bridge with a pretty far drop… crying…

“Sorry…” Jona

“For letting me die?” Girl

“For not being a true friend” Jona

“I was never your friend. You just hung around me because I was useful to get you from class to class” Girl

“I didn’t need your help for classes… the teachers were stupid” Jona

“You didn’t treat anyone nicely, always sealed heart away” Girl

“…” Jona

“And when someone tried to get close you distanced yourself. Even… when I confessed to you, you never let your heart open, you even rejected me, even though I knew you cared, you didn’t let yourself” Girl

“…” Jona

“you always gave a blank face void of emotions… even though we knew you… even though I loved you, you let me die alone… didn’t even help me, and now you are sorry? Just look at yourself! You’re now a girl! Even now I still love you, and never blamed you! So why be sorry! Just say how you truly feel!” Girl

….

I have no idea… how I feel… or maybe I do… I had always regretted somehow deep down… but this is just a test… it isn’t real… so I guess… telling the truth won’t be… a problem?

“I do regret not saving you, and regret turning you down… and not helping to solve the rumors about you that I knew were false… I do love you always had… but in my life, I couldn’t afford love… you would have been better with someone else, my family would have hurt you and I couldn’t protect you from them…” Jona

She smiled at me and started vanishing like this world…

“We’ll… meet again… and you can tell me at that time…” Girl

I was back in front of the golem, staring at it with hatred in my mind while my poker face was still active… it’s an old habit… to the point it’s hard to let my actual expressions come out…

“You have seemed to pass….” Golem

It moved out of the way and let me pass… didn’t Rock said I would have to fight, run or die? Nothing about tests… but I guess if I had failed it would try to kill me…

Going along the path Rock is leading me we came up to a big door with another golem in front of me about the same as the one before only this one had a sword and shield equipped to it, but before I could get even close to it vanished… and somehow I had a bad feeling that something was behind me so I jumped forward with a roll and moments later a blade crashed into the ground where I was standing…

It didn’t talk like the previous one… it most of been just said for set lines… and probably said that to everyone, this one is probably meant to see if anyone is strong enough to earn whatever the queens power is… not that I care I just want an exit…

Drawing my katana, and getting in a combat stance with it out in front of me, it charged at me this time not vanishing but still running very fast…

I blocked it’s swing with my katana, but the impact alone knocked me back a few steps and it keep swinging it’s sword over and over again leaving me no choice but to defend…

My hands are going numb from all the impacts… aren’t golems suppose to be slow…?

I mean it’s not that smart… probably programmed just to fight in this way, since it’s predictable… but even if I can predict it I can only defend cause if I get hit once I’ll die…

This has to end somehow…

I started using Ghost step to keep up with its movements making it easier for me to dodge its slashes… but at this rate I will tire out...

Using the ghost step to get me some distance I decided to try {Wind Slash} to shoot a blade of wind or… I guess its chakra… this is basically a mix of my mana and spiritual power mixed into one causing small cuts on the golem.

Black spirit… might be a good skill to use? Though calm mind is probably similar… to it…, but when I used it… it wasn’t the same, it didn’t control my emotions or anything of that matter, it just made my body temp lower, like I had been made of ice, though my body has seemed to be able to move more as if the weakened state is gone? Nah… I think this black spirit move just removes the limits on a normal body… making it closer to the dead, since it is needed before {Dance of the Dead} can be used…

Though the time limit of this skill is only a minute, it lets me use my dance to eventually cut up the golem, though… every cut is like only chipping small parts off not enough to really slow it down…

From its legs, chest, and even arms have all been chipped all over, it wouldn’t let me get close to its head it would auto dodge or block it with the free hand.

But… I am still fighting it after the minute is up from black spirit, and my body shivers on its own as it is warming up from being cooled down to that degree making it harder to grip my handle of my katana leaving me no choice to slash the blade at the head of the golem as a feint and it went to block it… of course… it’s only programmed to defend its face leaving a blind spot for me to follow to get behind it and use {Fatal Wind} with the martial arts I learned making wind wrap around my fist as it goes through the head of the golem…

I really didn’t think this through…..

The golem then dies and falls over on top of me causing a great deal of pain…

It took me about thirty minutes to get it off me… being bruised black and blue… and the weakened state is back… only with all the shivering I get it feels like it’s worse…

Walking to the door without waiting on Rock I pushed it open to find a beautiful shiny red gem shard in the middle of the room with an projection of a lady beastmen in a fox form with nine tails….

Really, a fox…? I would prefer a cat…

“You are the first to make it through…” Fox lady

“…” Jona

“You shall take the stone and see if my power is passable to you.” Fox lady

She then motioned me to grab it, so with a bit of wariness I picked up the stone, but the stone glowed red brightly and then vanished into my hand… causing a great deal of pain…

But it subsided very fast... then a pop up showed up

You have earned the Class: Summoner

Summons: Rock Spirit, Fox Spirit, White Dragon.

Rock Spirit: Rock, lv 1 {non-combat}

Fox Spirit: No Name, lv 1 {Scout}

White Dragon: Seir, Lv 40 {Tank/Healer} {Warning: Unwise to summon}

So… rock is now mine? And the fox spirit?.... don’t tell me….

When I looked over to the fox lady she nodded and then kneeled before me…

“My master, though I am but a fragment of the former Queen, and only has minor knowledge , and has no combat ability I can assure you I can scout out areas without being seen, what shall be my name?” Fox Spirit

“What was the Queen’s name?” Jona

“Tama” Fox spirit

“Then your name is Tama” Jona

“Understood” Tama

“for now if you go into the magic circle to the right you can go back to the surface, just outside of the forest. Anyhow we need rest so we will go into the summoned space to called… we been out too many years and are out of energy a day longer and we would of vanished” Tama

Then Tama and Rock simply vanished….

Most likely to summon them again I would have to change classes… and will never summon Seir… that is my dragon for Dragon Knight… most likely he still hates me.

While looking around for anything useful, I came across a few books of magic… not sure about what but I’ll look at them later as I stashed them into my item box, maybe some unknown magic? Or an ability to make a body for Rose… Kuro seems like the type that would prefer to not bother with much… or care…

When I went out of the forest through the portal was pushed to the ground with a very fast pace speed…

“Jona… you’re alive….!” Nimue

Ah… she didn’t have to crush me into this rocky ground… but she’s crying so hard I couldn’t complain… I must have worried her too much…

“where… is Kira…” Jona

I know it’s bad to stop her happy moment… but…

“She’s at my house, I took her there… it has been four days! So after the first day… of looking I took her home so I could look more freely…” Nimue

Now that I take a better look at her she seems slimmer, and bags under her eyes..

“Sorry… I won’t run off like that again…” Jona

Thank goodness… they are both alive…

Then the next thing I knew she hit me in the head with her chest plate with a crushing painful hug… and took out a gem and everything went white for a moment, then I was in a room with an old man rushing towards us and Kira right behind him.

“She.. has a blight mark!” Nimue

She seemed like she’s like she’s panicking? Then I fainted because of how tired I have been…. Most because of my weakened state after using Dragon Knight on top of being with someone I trust…
