I think the plot advanced too fast in this chapter, But I plan on keeping it. Aizen has a true goal now, so I have something to focus on Instead of writing on what happened the last chapter. Enjoy the story!
----------------------------------------
“I Failed the mission.” I said
“Of course you did” Luna replied.
“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.
“You were meant to fail. The guards were already alerted about you coming their. It was a test to see if you could escape from a bad situation unscathed. You passed with flying colors. Although you should teach me how you did that thing with your bon-” She couldn’t finish her sentence before a fingertip bullet penetrated her throat.
“What a waste of good men. You should have had them captured, not killed. Idiot.” Was I mad about the fact that my comrades were killed? Not really. Death is everywhere, coming for us all. The only reason I killed her was because she knew that I could use my bone shaping. I did not want that fact to get out. I searched her body, checking for anything that could relate to me. My hand grasped on a piece of paper.
“Hope this is it” I say. Just in case, I strip her naked and put her cloth clothes in a bundle. Grabbing a candle from the wall, I lit them ablaze, then threw the letter in.
“Not bad, Not bad. I didn’t think you were this strong” Ajay said. I whirled around. I was so preoccupied on searching for the letter, I hadn’t heard his heartbeat.
“Well, I’m busted” I say. We sat there, looking at each other before he said
“What do you think of this world, Oh person from another planet?” My blood ran cold when he said that.
“How do you..?” I asked
“I have my source’s” he said.
“Oliver” I thought. That piece of… he was going to get it when I see him again.
“So tell me. What do you think?”
“I haven’t seen much. Only read in stories about the other race’s and demi humans. But I believe slavery should be stopped as soon as possible. I think it is wrong to ensnare someone against their will.” I said truthfully
“What if I could give you the means to change this world?” he says.
“Then I would take it and change the world” I respond
“What if they don’t wish to be changed?” He countered
“Sometimes, change needs to be forced. I believe that when you stay in the past for too long, You will wither and never grow to your full potential.” I finished
“I..completely agree with you” he said. He walked closer to me then stopped. I clicked my tongue to see his hand was outstretched for me. “If I give you the means to end slavery and all the unjust things in the world. will you take it?” he says.
“Then serve me! Help me changed this damn corrupt world into a place where all beings could co-exist” He says confidently
“Me? Serve You?” I ask shocked. The Ajay I have known was always lazy, never caring about anything other than sex and messing around. I have been dragged into countless situations because of him. Like the time he had sex with a noble’s daughter and was chased outside the house, Only to come back a little later and then get chased out again, running to our dorm bare ass naked. Or the time he picked up a tab of 1500 gold coins and ditched them on me. But truth was, I have never seen Ajay fight or wish harm against anyone.
“Fine then. But I have conditions.” I say
“Let me tell you mine first” He says. “If you so choose to accept this burden, you will no longer be Aizen von Alvenstead. You will be a nameless wanderer that helps people in need. You will serve me and only me. Also, you will no longer be one with the darkness. I will bring you into the light.” He says with confidence
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“It’s Impossible” I say. “My true body is bound to the void”
“I have an ancient artifact that is packed with holy power. Using this, It is possible to forcibly pull your real body into your current one. Though, it will hurt like nothing you have ever felt.”
I thought about it for a moment. Power is always what I have desired. I had no wish to go back to being weak. I can’t even use spells in this body since I don’t have a mana core. My original plan after I had gotten permission from my parent’s was to abolish slavery. If this was the fastest path, then so be it.
“I accept, But if and only if you listen to my conditions.”
“Speak them.”
“This relationship will not be king and servant. We will be equals, nothing more nothing less. You will pay me a certain amount of money every month, Like a paycheck. You will revive my Clan to its former glory. Also, You will not use me for anything else” I say in a tone that brokered no argument.
“Deal” he says. He then rustles through what sounds like a bag, then grabs my hand and places something in it.
“This is the artifact. It is an earring imbued with an extreme amount of holy power. Put this on your ear and fuse your mana with it.”
I did as he asked, feeling a small pain when I punctured my ear.
“Do or Die” I thought, then opened my mana to it. Instantly a massive amount of holy energy rushed from the earring.
“AAAAAAAAAH” I shouted in pain. This was horrible! It felt like my mind was being forcibly ripped apart then put back together. I felt my true body get pulled, like something was attracting it. I coughed up a large amount of blood.
“Aizen!” Ajay shouted.
“GRAAAAAAH” I roared with pain. I felt my real body leave the void. I felt a hot burning at the center of my chest. I assumed that was my mana core. but I wasn’t positive. Not that I cared at the moment. Back to screaming
“AAAAAAAH” I screamed. My chest was getting extremely hot. I reached my hand out and heard a loud smash against the wall. Then It was quiet. Finally, the holy energy stopped filling into my eyes.
“ah...ah...oh..shit...that...hurt” I said in gasping breaths. Once again I coughed up a large amount of blood. Once I stopped coughing I tapped on the ground. What I saw shocked me. Ajay was half way Indented into the wall, his left arm missing.
“Shit!” I shouted then tried to get up.
“No good!” I thought as I vomited more blood.
“If I lose any more blood I will die” I think.
I began to crawl towards Ajay, slowly but surely.
“Ajay, get up” I say. He didn’t respond, but his heartbeat told me he was alive and kicking.
“AJAY” I shout. No response except a groan.
“*SLAP*SLAP*SLAP*SLAP*” I slapped him over and over again until his face was purple.
“whyoslme” he groaned
“Huh?” He spit out a large mouthful of blood
“I shad.. shy shid shu shwap me?” I couldn’t help it, I burst out into laughter when he said this, which in turn caused me to vomit for blood. Nope, still not dead yet.
I felt tired, but I knew We needed to get Ajay treated. Standing up wobbly, I made my bones as light as possible then stood up. Grabbing Ajay, We slowly but surely limped towards the door.
-----------------------------------------
Like the chapter? Hope you did! But fear not, even with this happening, Aizen will not become Overpowered, just different. Felt like I needed to justify that haha. Anyway, comment your thoughts :D
