Angelo and his twin sister Mina were in the lower floors when Alexxa's rebelion reached their ears, they of course weren't in time to help her, but from then on had a really bad impression of Bloom and her mother, whom the commonly called the Evil Queen.
Angelo was a mage and Mina an Enchantress, but their way of combat was a lot different than their classes implied.
Angelo was more like a warrior while Mina was more like a general rather than a support character.
Angelo's cheat power was mirror image, he could generate a mirror image that would stay where he stood, which was only useful to confuse monsters.
The two power ups however were a lot more useful, Shadowless attack and Illusory attacks, the first lauched an attack at an incredible speed, not even leaving a blur as he attacked, while the illusory attacks power generated a mirror image that would launch an attack on the enemy, the majesty however of this power was that he could use it multiple times and although the images couldn't damage the enemy, it would not disappear even if cut in half, it had a set duration after which it would disappear, which for a mage you can imagine how useful it was after all the multiple mirror images would be chanting spells, charging at the enemy and some could even simply abstruct their view.
Mina his sister was descending the pillar with him, her cheat power being HP up, which wasn't exactly useful, but the later power ups MP up and Physique up were simply invaluable to a mage like Angelo.
Even better she could simply stack them together to make him stronger, which was all they needed, they had even met John once as they went down, but they couldn't keep up with him, thus he went on by himself.
In their group there were few people, most of them however were adventurers they took with them from the first floor, hoping to come across some fate changing ruin. They were rocks that could change one's class, you could become a Talent, a hero or even a legend.
It was a pity that they were forced to return to the capital because of Alexxa's rebelion and now were stuck there for the next 10 years, but they met many of their classmates there, John was already there, Alexander had also come to the capital and the others whom were more interested in the fight for succession like Nick, Christo and Anna.
The most however important person they met was their teacher Mr Gold whom begun to explain to them that they didn't need to go to the dungeon pillar anymore, they have already begun setting a reverse summoning platform and all they need to return home is to find a person with a spatial cheat power, namely Christopher, whom they had almost tracked with the help of legendary heroes like the Dark mage, the Sea mage Ariel, the rogue Hero and some others whom wanted to return to their original world.
In other way it was like telling them, the game is over and that it's time to go home.
=========================================================
This is the story of Alexxa and how she ended up in a cell in Christopher's prison.
When Alexxa reached level 1000, she gained some sweet power ups, thus she became over-confident.
She always hated the Evil queen, thus she gathered like minded people, Nick and Anna.
Nick hated the queen even more than her and Anna simply didn't like her, thus they begun to plan on how to stage a rebelion.
Before however she could enact the plan Ludicar, her ex-prince husband died of a heart attack, while they eating, soldiers burst into her castle and she was brough on her knees in front of the Queen.
The new Queen, Bloom didn't seem to care much about Ludicar's death and wanted to fine her with taxes, like she did with the other heroes, but Alexxa's tongue took the better of her and in the end she was stripped of her class, turning her into a common farmer, and thrown into jail for 2years until her teacher was able to bail her out somehow, with the support of the rogue Hero and some others.
They then begun to talk about their plan of tracking down Christopher and since practicaly everyone by then had the intel that he had a crush on her, they kept her as a backup plan in case he tried didn't want to cooperate with them.
Alexxa however didn't want to leave the world of Axis, thus she asked them to revive Ludicar for her as a trade for the small favor they asked.
The Old Heroes however mocked her and turned their backs on her, in truth she was only the last resort, if she appeared with Ludicar on her side and asked Christopher to help them it would make her presence pointless.
After hearing of the Evil Queen's disappearance Alexxa stumbled upon a strange little bar, she had some money and wanted to drown herself in alcohol as she did for the last few days, even the news of the queen's disappearance didn't lighten her mood.
At the bar she hooked up with some random guy, like she did the few past days, she didn't care anymore, life without her loved one was not worth living.
Unknown to her however the guy she found was a slave trader, he wanted to sell her as a slave and toss her to runia for some training.
But before he could carry her unconcious body into his carriage, he ended up dying, with Christopher behind him looking at the now sleeping Alexxa.
Christopher had been stalking her for days now, but he wouldn't show himself until then, but before he could take her to an Inn three people came out from the darkness of the night.
He was of course frightened since the area around him had turned into an anti-magic field, the three of them were the Old heroes, the Emperor of Runia, Ariel the red fishwoman and the Rogue hero.
"We mean you no harm, but we need to talk"
A female voice echoed inside his head, in truth he was unable to even move because of Ariel's phychic powers, his mentality was nowhere near her own.
Unknown to Alexxa the four of them went to have a talk and came to a deal, but part of the deal was giving the unwilling to leave Alexxa to him to take care off, since he too was unwilling to leave.
The next time Alexxa woke up she was in a strange prison cell that looked no different than a modern bedroom, there were three other people in the nearby cells, one of whom looked exactly like a popular actress she used to find pretty, the other two looked rather bad, as if they were dehydrated and malnurished.
A man would pass from time to time bringing them food, at a certain time they would be led for a walk to the gardens as he called them, she didn't know why but they all felt rather familiar to her, but she couldn't put her mind into where she had met them before.
Deep in the night the actress and the man would make love, making her somewhat shocked, especialy since the actress seemed to enjoy his touch.
Alexxa had thought of escaping but for some reason her stats were lowered by a lot, her 430physique had turned into 150, of course once she saw the strange ring stuck on one of her fingers she understood that it was some kind of cursed item.
Her days passed there in a rather mundane way, they reminded her of the jail time she had for 2years, but that was too inhumane.
The man would even bring her whatever food she wanted to eat, next she asked for other stuff, but he wouldn't say no to anything she or the other three ordered, until the day she took the courage to ask for Ludicar.
The man then offered her a trade, he would gift her Ludicar, but they would not be allowed to live the prison unless he gave them permission to be free or transfered them to another prison, but then they would have to stay there instead.
Alexxa was reluctant, but in the end agreed and after signing a piece of paper he called a soul contract he brought Ludicar to her, alive.
He however wasn't very happy to see her current state, she was as malnurished and dehydrated as the other prisoners, only it had been years since she had last seen herself inside a mirror.
Ludicar could hardly hide his disgust, but knowing that she was his wife Alexxa he still acted lovingly towards her, after all outer appearance could be easily changed with magic.
When he however learnt that she had signed a contract to stay in this strange place which was called a "Prison" they begun to quarrel, the last time they had quarreled was before she had becided to rebel against the queen, he was completely against it and all it brought to her was pain and his death.
The important matter however was that he couldn't stay there he had other wives and children to look after, he couldn't stay in prison for his whole life.
A week later Alexxa asked Christopher to set them free, but he refused, they had even signed a contract.
Ludicar was enraged when he heard that she had once more agreed on something without consulting him first, it was like betraying him all over again, he even refused to hear her explanations.
The next day he asked the jailor to set him free, but the jailor didn't give him any notice at all, he only spoke with Alexxa, to begin with he wasn't a prisoner there, he didn't even get to order food like the others.
He was quick on the taking that he could only live there if he used Alexxa's kindness and in the next few days their relationship mended rapidly.
Alexxa was happy and Christopher didn't really mind, seeing her happy made him happy as well, even if the one making her happy was not him.
=========================================================
Bloom was bored, she had been in jail for days now and only her mother got to go out, she wanted to do something and change that, she wanted to get out as well, even if it meant that he had to join the cult.
Bloom shouted out that she wanted to join the cult, making her mother mad, they then begun shouting at one another arguing about the important stuff and in the end breaking up in a dramatic fashion, not speaking to one another.
The shocking thing however was that two days later her mother was taken for a walk and wasn't returned to her cell. When she asked Christopher about it he said that she was free to leave, the cult decided that she was useless now that they had closed a deal with another person and also something about her brothers and sisters fighting for the throne once more, because of her absense.
That was the third day she hadn't talked with anyone other than Christopher, whom she hated because he was holding her in this jail, she also hated her mother for getting captured in the first place, she also hated her country for not rescuing her, but finding replacements for her instead.
Of course she didn't know that her mother was killed not too long ago, she was rather dangerous to the cult and the moment she was set free, she was found and killed, not leaving even the corpse behind.
"Please don't leave me alone"
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Bloom suddenly said as Christopher was about to leave once more.
"Do you want to be free?"
He asked her with a smile, this was what the prisoners called the devil's smile.
"Will you free me if I do?"
She asked him back, not believing a word he said.
"How about we make a trade then"
He said and then continued without waiting for her to reply.
"What's your most precious thing in the world?"
"My Mom"
She said with a tear sliding on her cheek.
"Then would you trade your mom for your freedom?"
He asked her, making her dumbstruck.
"No, I wouldn't"
She said after a sort pause.
"Then would you trade yourself for your mother's freedom?"
He asked once more making her even more shocked, was this what was happening right at the moment, in a way that was exactly what had happened, if she hadn't come, then her mother would have stayed in jail for maybe years or even died in this prison. Did she save her by coming and getting trapped, was that what had happened?
For some reason however she felt rather angry inside, she tried to find whom was at fault there and could only direct her anger on Christopher, she and her mother had done nothing wrong, but he had imprisoned them, she wanted to lush at him and shed him to pieces, but both her physique and magic were sealed.
In the end she burst into tears, she didn't want to live in the prison, but she didn't want her mother to be in prison either.
Suddenly she felt a hand on her cheek, she turned around and a hot kiss stole her lips, she didn't know if she wanted this or not, but she didn't fight back, at the moment she needed love the most and this led to a passionate encounter that would change her life.
"Do you hate me?"
Christopher asked her while massaging her tiny breasts, that were like two round oranges, but she didn't answer she was more interested in this new sensation rather than complicate stuff.
"Then come with me"
He said and undid her chain, then he and her naked walked towards a strange garden.
"This is my garden, I've been growing it for 10years now"
He said with pride as they left the tower's entrance, leaving behind them a white tower that could hardly be called a prison.
She didn't know where they were, thoughts of escaping passed her mind, but they disappeared after hearing his enthousiastic voice.
"Behind us is the common tier prison, which belongs to the cult, it was where you were kept, the one on the right is the Cult's temple, where people are initiated and the tower to the left is my house, well a personal prison of sorts, I want to call it my Harem"
His words didn't create any kind of fealings, especialy since she had no idea what a Harem was, in a world where people could have multiple partners it wasn't strange and also the word harem didn't exist in their vocabulary as a word.
He then dragged her to his Harem building, it looked similar to the prison building, it was a tower, but inside there were tons of stuff, there was a swimming pool, an indoors sport stadium, a Playground, a treasury, an alcemy laboratory where an old dwarf was laughing crazily, but the sixth basement he told wasn't any fun.
Thus they went up towards the the cells, at the moment only four were full out of the six that were on the floor.
"from today onwards you will be living here, we will be going for walks every day, you can order whatever you like, but there's one small catch you will have to sign this contract"
He suddenly said as he made pen and paper appear out of thin air.
Inside it said that she would be staying there and in return he would take her for walks, care for her and love her, at the time she didn't really care, she simply jumped on the smallest of freedoms with a happy smile.
The moment she signed the paper, Christopher kissed her once more and threw her onto the bed. She struggled a little but he was stronger, she felt a small pain from her bottom part as she lost her virginity, but quickly enough she gave in to the pleasure.
From across her cage Alexxa was shocked as she could easily recognise the person Christopher was having sex with as Queen bloom.
Bloom felt funny as a hot fluid entered her body, she was lost in between kisses and fondling. A sense of helplessness and exhaustion overcame her as she now only wanted him to stop, but he went on doing her in again and again.
Each time he would use some spell on himself and begin to ravage her again and again, it became a rather unpleasant feeling, but in the end she simply gave in and fainted.
When the question of a child appeared in her mind she of course chose no, but the question appeared again and again as unknown to her, her unconcious body was still ravaged and played with by that despicable man.
When she woke up however she found him lying next to her sayin words that melted most of the hatred away.
"I love you"
He said and a new relationship begun between the Legendary Queen and the most wanted man in the world of Axis.
=========================================================
The last of Nivava's heroes Anna, Alexxa's best friend, the problem with her however was that she was given the 5th floor of the dungeon to rule, a place as desolate as it could be, even her most loyal subordinates didn't want to go there, but through some heavy persuasion she finaly created a Fortress town, all thanks to her cheat power.
Anna was the probably the strongest Nivava hero, she might not have travelled as deep as John into the dungeon, but she was a mage able to produce strange talismans that could absorb damage and She had gained three power ups to that cheat power.
Fire Arrow talisman, Acid spit talisman and forcefield Talisman. Fire arrow created a spell that did magic damage, acid spit did elemental damage and could degenerate armor and the forcefield was what protected her fortress from having monsters spawn inside.
The last she held to herself because the materials to create it were too expensive, even she only had fifteen of these talismans which held her fortress city from collapsing.
When Anna heard about Alexxa's plan to depose the queen, she didn't find it funny at all, she already knew that it was impossible to do so without extensive planning, maybe in the far future they would be able to do so, but whom would have known that before they could even start the plan the queen's spies had already caught the mastermind Alexxa and brought her to what this world calls justice.
Anna had wanted to go and argue with the Queen to set Alexxa free, but she was simply too bussy, although in truth it was the ex-prince Joseph whom kept her bussy at that period of time.
Eventually Anna forgot all about it, mostly because of her own romance with the Wolfman Kilkis, a fellow whom he liked very much.
Until she heard some good news from the traders, the Queen had disappeared, a succesion war was going on on the surface, she of course was already heading to the surface at the time for the class gathering, but this piece of news made her go all in.
Returning to earth had become a joke when there was so much more in Axis for them than earth, here they were Kings and gods, why return to a mundane world, even more so since there were already scientific developments going on in this world, starting with the invention of television by some broad called Tris, the establishment of world fashion by their classmate Elen and lastly plenty of new ways of trasport like the blimp, the elevator and the bycicle all introduced by Nick.
When however Anna met Mr Gold and heard that there wa a way to return without clearing the 100th floor she became somewhat perplexed.
In truth the chances of Joseph succeeding to the throne were rather bleak, the reason being that all He and she had was money, they had a monopoly in protection talismans, which gave them near limitless funds, problem was that they had no backers.
For example Amaliana and Tudar were the two most popular with the people, Amaliana because of her personality, being close to the people and Tudar because he was a holy priest of Ecclesia, meaning he had a good backing.
Verillio and Keia were the most favoured by the nobles, one being a candidate for a puppet and the other due to her mother's influence.
Joseph and Erica were the the most likely to not succeed, one having only money at hand and the other only a strong backer namely the strongest hero of Nivava John.
Of course Anna knew that if they fought he would most certainly lose to her, but there was no reason to prove herself, especialy if they could return to their own world.
Before however she could come to a decision she got an invitation by Nick, he had invited her and Christo for a small meeting to decide on the successor to the throne.
Nick waited for them seated at a small table, he didn't change too much in 10years and both she and Christo recognised him right away.
they sat at the table and begun to chat about general things like how their territories were going, events of the past and finaly the critical matter came, would they stay or would they leave this world.
Surprisingly Both Christo and Nick stated that they would leave the moment the ritual was ready, making her think it over again.
In the end she decided that she too would leave, thus begun the second matter whom should take over the throne, the possible candidates as stated by Nick were three, Verillio, Keia and Tudar, the others were not even worth considering.
The one however whom had the edge over them was Tudar, in his stay in Ecclesia he had gained some
powerful backers.
Verillio had the backing of two countries Runia and Nivava, but it might not be enough since many nobles from Nivava supported Christo and Keia as the New King and Queen.
So since Christo wouldn't be staying anyways Nick asked him to give up on the successions and return to his own floor, promising him a relaxed and causy stay in Nivava until they all return back to their own world.
Christo however informed him that the matter wasn't in his own hands, talking about the old witch, the ex-queen and mother of Keia and Leia, she was the one running all the succession matters, he even advised Nick to give up. Christo didn't know whom her backer was, but if her backer was able to toss treasures as if they were junk, there was probably no way she would lose this succession war, but he promised that he would help all the heroes have a nice stay in Nivava until the ritual was complete.
Nick then begun to argue about how great a backing he had, the archmang, the nobles of the country and the fucking emperor of Runia himself.
Ending in them having a quarrel from which Nick ended in a sorry state, it was a rather strange fight between a mage and a healer which ended in a fist fight and both begun laughing at each other's face, Christo's physique was supperior to Nick's but Nick would simply heal himself after each blow, even so he ended up in a mess as well.
They didn't use any skills other than healing themselves, it was funny how the two were so friendly with each other after enduring a beating.
Anna didn't know what to say about them, but in the end decided to back down from this succession race, whomever won the succession it probably wouldn't be Joseph, thus she relaxed and decided to spent her final ten years on Axis meaningfully.
Like hooking up with old friends, talking about school and the life on earth and getting into the right mood for returning to her old school life.
Only problem was that Alexxa and Dina were not there anymore, Alexxa was broken, even when she saw her at the class gathering she hadn't even recognise her, she stunk of alcohol and Dina had a harem of male elf top models with whom she was rather intimate.
Anna at the moment didn't even approach them, she felt somewhat strange now that she thought about it, when exactly had she turned into a rich snob without even realising it.
Of course it wasn't etirely her fault, it was hard to recognise a person whom had evolved into a different race, Dina looked nothing like her original form, she was simply too dazzling and beautiful.
Alexxa on the other side looked like a zombie, because of her malnurishment in jail for the last two years, making it impossible for anyone to recognise her if they didn't know that it was her.
Only after she heard it from someone else had she realised whom those people were, it was like a party masque, where people had to guess whom the other was, although many people hadn't come to the gathering, but seeing those that were worse off than themselves made them feel a little better for themselves.
Alexxa and Dina however had dissappeared, Dina left back to Eolia while Alexxa was nowhere to be found, although she heard some dark rumors that she was drinking her life away at different taverns at night.
You might ask why she or Joseph hadn't revived Ludicar, since they had plenty of money to do so. Well truth was they had tried, but someone had already done so even before them, but at the moment they thought that it was the queen's doing, in order to get a grip over Alexxa, thus they didn't give it much thought.
Now however she begun to think deeper, with the successions growing near, there could be someone whom had used Ludicar to draw Alexxa to be their supporter, it could even be Nick or Christo whom were now laughing innocently on the floor, half exhausted.
Many thoughts passed through her mind, but she could only speculate since she couldn't tell truth from lies, like her teacher and then an idea came to mind, an idea that would birth a large wall between all heroes in the near future.
