Waking up the next morning. I stretched out lazily. Looking out the window I saw it was already past 8 am since the sun was fully up.
“Mistress, I have much to report.” Shai suddenly called.
“Really...well please pass on.” I tell her.
“Yes mistress.” Shai says.
A message appeared in front of me.

My jaw dropped seeing the massive killing spree.
“What happened!! How!” I ask her.
“Well...the tree mimics were...effective in attracting monsters.” She said nervous.
“Did you kill and absorb?” I ask.
“Yes mistress.” She replied.
“You have yet to summon any new ones?” I ask.
“No mistress. I absorbed them all since you left no orders to make mimics from other monsters.” She replied.
I nodded understanding.
“Okay, please summon several of each race and have them live outside. Have several mimics take up those forms and hide among the regular ones.” I tell her. “What is your current MP gathered?” I ask.
“A bit over forty five thousand mistress.” she says cheerfully.
Its obvious she would be happy with such a high amount of magic power.
“Do as you like once you have completed making the new monsters but again don’t pass two floors. Also keep me updated on what you will do.” I tell her.
“Thank you for such freedom mistress.” She says and cuts the connection.
I smile seeing her so cheerful at getting the freedom to make her dungeon on her own.
Kumi was already out of bed so I get dressed and go out for a late breakfast.
There were few people inside and none of my group so I eat by myself and quickly leave outside.
I look around trying to find the others but soon give up.
Instead since I didn’t find anyone I summon Peach, Glop and Rama.
I tell the slimes to train with the sword and hop on Rama.
I tell him that we are training high speed running and sudden turns so we will be ready in the future should I need to fight on his back.
The way we do this training is fun.
Obviously, I have Rama run all the way to the dungeon field.
A closed forest is the best training ground for a fox because it’s his natural element so there is no need for some obstacle course when there is a natural one already made.
Reaching the fields I see the place full of kids walking about.
These were not dungeoneering students that were curious about the dungeon and this was the only place they might find a dungeon that wouldn’t attack them so they let their curiously loose and explore.
In my dungeon’s domain the newly mimicked animals were being treated as petting animals as if in a zoo and the tree mimics were handing the kids their fruits which were eaten on the spot with sparkling eyes.
From my location I could see that Asher’s spooky forest now covered more of his domain which meant he was able to gain a lot more MP for his dungeon during the night.
I would bet that it was the effect of my mimics fruits that gave him that magic power since the animals from the south side would need to cross his dungeon to reach my own.
I could see some new animals zombies walking around which fascinated a few kids most likely those that like necromancy or just thought it was cool.
All around the bigger dungeon monsters were standing guard near the kids because there were still many monsters in the surroundings and every so often you would hear the roars of monsters that were in conflict.
Some kids were curious and would watch from far away as the dungeon monsters slaughtered the wild monsters that entered their territory.
The two werebears that were killed in my dungeon gave me both male and female so Shai made two packs of six and made one into mimics and blended both.
They lived in a landscape altered hill that Shai raised to give them a small cave to breed in.
The blood crows and even normal crows were used as scouts in the area and as E rank monsters the blood crow could take down creatures even a rank higher because they lived in huge swarms of nearly 400 or more. At least 20% were mimics that were hidden among them made from the fruit slimes that mimicked the birds they kill.
With my going in several kids follow and I show them the traps and stuff I made and was fascinated by the puzzle traps and openings Shai had implemented.
I enjoy a bit before going back to the school for lunch.
I spend the rest of the day training a bit.
At night I fall tired into bed from the training which I somewhat overdid.
School life here is much more exciting than before. I can only grow stronger and eventually enjoy my life adventuring and helping those in need and living life to the fullest. But for now lets just enjoy the school life as it is.
6 month later
Down below the academy far away from the grand mountain range where the gods holy chains hold the island in the air over the mountain range surrounded by a dragon's nesting ground.
In a city within the territory of Elunia sat a large guild of players. In the air around the village were large flying ships that remained in the air through magical means and on both sides in the front and back were large turbines that helped move the ship.
The guild leader was looking up his eyes on the grand holy chains made of god's steel that can’t be so much as dented by a human’s hands. Not even a demigod has any hopes of so much scratch that.
The players have seen this so many times but whenever they ask what is at the top of those chains the same answer is given to any and all players.
“That place is not a place for players. DON’T EVER try to go up there.”
That is the most common phase told to them. Even if they look for the most corrupt and most disgusting noblemen and bring him with fortunes that could buy kingdoms the noble will throw them out and if they persist they will be exiled from the region and should they resist, they are hunted like monsters and all familiarity built within that city or region will instantly become negative in value.
After finally giving up investigating the guilds from the regions were all planning to raid whatever is up there.
Even with dragons, technology plus magic will always surpass magic alone so killing all the dragons would be a piece of cake.
Because of such things with final preparations complete the player guilds fill up their flying ships and went off to raid what they think is just a simple high level monster filled sky island.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s been a calm six months and half of the school year is about to be over.
We will have a 2 week break because it is for winter break.
The entire island was covered in snow and we are now using winter uniform which for girls is using padded pants to keep us safe from the cold as well as a few extra jackets.
We have all advanced a lot. Magic masteries went up one level which is good for a NPC in this world. We aren’t players so we have a slow growth but we have quality and no system assist.
My dungeon has also advanced to two floors both. The first floor has many creatures all mimic based but having two thirds the real creature.
It’s obvious that the mimics were stronger than the normal creatures.
To make the monsters there stronger we were told to have conflict between our own creatures in the dungeon.
This would slowly help to increase the level of our creatures of the dungeon. I was a bit against it but the idea was to make the dungeon a natural ecosystem where the monsters eat to grow instead of just survive of the dungeons magic power.
I understood so I accepted it and my three tamed pets were part of this ecosystem. The three became the leading force for the fox, mimic fox and mimic fox demi humans.
As you can guess I had both Peach and Glop breed and make dungeon minions of their type but breeding slimes of high color ranks are born the color of the weaker slime. So a pink and blue slime breeds a blue slime.
It was still a significant monster race.
They slowly grow by killing and feeding and when they reach the child size they are giving a sword and shield slime of their own.
In these six months Glop has reached level 38 and Peach reached level 45 while Rama reached level 56 which quickly made the hierarchy apparent. Rama was also the pet I most summoned for mount training. His current size would be a bit bigger than a pony and I have mount riding skill at level 8. It's the only skill that has massive growth because as training I ride him through the forest so tight turns, jump and high speeds faster than horse make it a bumpy ride which I have grown used to.
Just the stats for all of us looked like this.

Yep, a boss monster is a fearsome being especially when you allow him to fight and grow in a dungeon to protect his kin and even rank up on his own.
For them they leveled up as well as the training made all three of them really above normal monsters for their level.
As for me, in these six months I was able to raise five points to all physical stats and 20 to INT. I have a seriously slow growth and the only balance for my body is my seriously high affinity for all mage which even without total focus towards it since others don’t want me to be physically weak I am slowly building a gap with others on the magical field.
My skills in these six months grew to this:

My skills have grown a bit but with my strength I still wouldn’t be able to fight many higher level people.
Oh right extra points gained from leveling up are inserted automatically in the stats we worked the most. Players have it good but since we train more we will always have quality over quantity.
While we were in the finally day of school before break where we could go home for the break. We were having free class when suddenly I heard a call from Shai.
“Mistress, something is going on. A large number of humans and demi humans have started to appear around the dungeon field! They have begun killing our own creatures! What actions should I take!” Shai said desperately.
“How old are they! Adults from the island wouldn’t attack and kids can’t fight.” I say.
“They are all adults dressed in many high level armor. They keep saying things like “KILL THE MONSTERS AND GATHER ALL DROPS!!” She said.
My eye grow wide and I instantly stand up getting a few people looking at me including professor Albert looking at me with a frown.
“PROFESSOR!! PLAYERS ARE IN THE DUNGEON FIELD RIGHT NOW ATTACKING THE DUNGEONS!!!” I shouted.
I took no less than a second for his frown to turn into a scowl and stands up with a seriou face.
“Don’t play tricks girl!” he says in a deadly tone. “This island is flying right in the middle of a dragons nest! There is no way players can reach here with normal means like flying!” He says.
Suddenly any other dungeoneers in my class stood up pale.
“SIR SHE IS RIGHT!! OUR DUNGEONS ARE UNDER ATTACK!” Asher shouted.
The professor’s face turned paler than normal before it became bright red.
“Tell all your dungeons to kill as many as possible. Hide the cores themselves as best as possible and away from the eyes of the players! Everyone go to all the other classes warning all the other classes!” He tells us urgently before pulling out his wand and casts a teleportation spell.
We all run out and start running to all the nearby classrooms warning everyone. Five minutes later we heard a large ringing from a giant bell. It rings a lot and soon a voice talking as if from a loudspeaker shouted all over the Island.
“This is an emergency!! Everyone proceed to the escape platforms the island has been invaded by players. All children must report to schools stadium for mass teleportation. Adults with combat or magical skills over advanced are to report to the school to help fight back the players. The objective is to quickly reach the Dungeon field and protect as many of the dungeons as possible. The dungeons are our allies all students with dungeons tell the dungeons to fight back the players and survive until reinforcements arrive and mark reinforcements as allies.” The voice of the headmaster says over the megaphone.
At once all the classes began evacuating with the teachers in the front and everyone coming out in distress but in a line everyone heading down.
“Shai how are you doing?!” I ask calling her.
“The tree slimes have begun dropping and killing a large many but that only worked for a first wave. I have begun to move the monsters to bring the animal mimics and blood crows near enough to ambush them.” She says.
The animals were the easiest to ambush if they could get in close. As a safety precaution I even had mimics copy bugs that move around near the ground.
They have a highly poisonous bite and some have deadly acids that can kill themselves to inject all the stored acid slime into the victim and kill them from the inside.
They are our backup method to quickly kill dead.
“How are the bugs doing?” I ask.
“Not so good. After seeing the slimes they already guessed we used slimes a bit more than normal. They are cautious.” She tells me.
“Have the bugs come from within the ground and climb up their armor from the leg.” I tell her. “Also have the Tri horned boar's been released yet?” I ask.
“Not yet, only small animals we have in great numbers.” She tells me.
“Try decreasing moral more with the birds, if that doesn’t work release first the werebears and distract them with them before cause a stampede with the D rank and above boar’s. Make sure to include the War boar in there as well.” I tell her.
A war boar is a rank up to the tri horn boar. I said D rank and above boar’s, it meant the boars that don’t rank up and just get stronger.
The war boar is about two and a half meters high and four long with two massive tusks and one on his horn from his head.
In terms of strength, this monster would be an equal to the war bear.
With my orders given I start moving with everyone else. It was then that I look out the windows and I finally saw what was going on.
In the air were several battered airships dropping many people who jumped off with air mages helping others get down safely.
“So that is how players got here. They killed the dragons.” I said paling.
As I watch I suddenly see a barrage of high level magic that slams right into several of the main ship making them blow up into pieces.
The next moment I saw hundreds of people fly over the school using air magic flying towards the players.
On the ground as well appeared many armored men and woman holding all manners of weapons.
Several people were riding mounts and around those people several powerful high class monsters appeared with their owner summoning them.
They weren’t weak monsters either hundreds of variant type ogres, trolls, drakes, animal based monsters, demons, celestial monsters, hellhounds, even a massive demon dog with three heads were summoned.
Our side were massively growing in number as more and more of the adults reached the school and began showing their weapons and allies.
The players didn’t stay quiet. The mages began to fire magic, the ships began to turn and fire the cannons which fired magic shells armed with high level spells carved into the bomb shell.
As I watch I suddenly had my left hand grabbed and saw sensei holding it.
“Get moving. Don’t even think of trying to run away!” Belladona-sensei said serious.
I nod and she picks me up and starts running towards the stadium.
I frown at the players for doing something like this.
Were they regular players or were they extremists. I keep looking outside at the massive war of the players vs the NPC and couldn’t help but start tearing up.
I wonder how far this falls from the Virtual beings rights.
If things get bad then I'm sure the AI’s will intervene but how far is too far.
As we run I kept look and suddenly I see something out of a nightmare.
“WAIT!” I shout and point outside.
Outside were several assassin class players who had kids tied up. No not just any kid. Five of my year. Stephanie, Owen, Asher, Nova and Eleonora.
“AHAHA!! All of you stop resisting and give up!! Or do you want the great royal family dying!” The man shouted towards all the adults nearby.
I felt a sudden despair from this.
Belladona put me down and walked outside by bursting through the wall.
In the next moment she vanished from my sight and appeared in front of the man with her arm in his chest.
“Don’t get cocky trash!” She said
The next moment five other assassins appeared and Belladona vanished with all five as sounds of sword classes sounded all around.
It’s been a while since I can control a bit of my mana coating instead of using only with tantrums.
I load my legs and run out as fast as possible to try and reach the others and save them.
When I was three meters away something smashed into the side of my head and pushed me to the ground.
“Now now, kids shouldn’t be messing with an adult's business.” Said a man's voice.
I look up and see a large warrior with his balled up fist.
“Oi boss! This places is a jackpot for cute bots! Can’t we take the cute girls for ourselves!” Someone said while laughing.
I turn my head and saw some trash eyeing Stephanie and the other girls.
“Sure, kill the boys and put the magic slave collars on the girls. We can train them nicely later on.” The man who punched me said.
“This one I will train personally.” He said pointing at me.
Tears being falling while I look at the others.
They pull Asher and Owen out while some of them began to charge up some skill to kill them.
A few others began to pull the girls and one of them pulled out a large back metal collar used to enslave people. Its an illegal item in every world no matter that era.
I watch as they rip the cloths of all the boys while they hold the boys heads down and kick them.
My rage was unbearable. Not that I let myself get caught, not that I was seeing this but that I couldn’t protect my friends and because I was once a player myself. I was one of them even if I didn’t act like them.
That unbearable feeling of despair I hate it. I want to help my friends, to protect them and grow with them.
I don’t want to lose anyone. I WON’T LET MYSELF LOSE ANY OF MY FRIENDS! I shout to myself.
”Your such a kind child but it is my job to punish them. I shall take over dear, just sleep and don’t bare witness to this nightmare anymore.” A sudden voice said in my mind. The next moment my mind went blank.
Player boss PoV
This is a nice catch. Who would have thought an NPC academy existed. These fucking bots hold out on us huh. Not that it mattered, they are all going to die or be enslaved and will like our feet.
These brats, the royal family of the five greatest kingdoms will be the first. The boys will die and the girls will be trained into our bitches by lolicons that like small ones.
Still, this brat that tried to save the others is seriously cute. She is even better then the elves I've seen. I'm make sure to turn her into a nice show for me. These fucking bots are better off dead but I guess keeping the bitches is ok.
Even part of the extremist faction to fucking destroy these shitty virtual worlds we are still men so let's at least transform this world into something good.
As I look at the silver haired brat I knocked out I suddenly see her hair shimmer from silver to white and it began to glow.
Finally her blue eyes suddenly open showing a glowing silver like her hair. I instantly paled because that is the color of the AI’s.
The girl lifts her hand from it and from it a massive shockwave that sends every player flying several meters.
I land embedded into the walls of the school.
When I checked my HP I had dropped to 5% and entered critical condition.
I paled and looked out at the girl. From here a pillar of silver light was coming from her stretching to the sky and in the air was a massive magic circle that we couldn’t see the end of it.
I looked around and notice how all players were falling and all of our ships lost strength.
Then a voice as if talking right into my eyes began to speak.
“My name is Kaire, I am one of the five greater gods of this world. All the players who have invaded this location are now under judgement. This location is a sacred area players should never step in. Punishment would normally be banning without possibility to return for a year of your own time. But you have gone to far. You threaten all five children blessed of the five greater gods and plan to kill and enslave all the residents of this world. Such actions go against the world wide Virtual human rights bill made 60 years ago. Taking such actions while feeling no regret for the beings of this world and treating us only as data, all humans here will suffer virtual death. You will all also not be able to rank up and will become the base for feeding the monsters throughout the world. You shall be cursed to die 10,000 times before you are born into a weakened monster form with low potential for ranking up for the rest of your existance.” The girl says.
By now we were all trembling. The pressure coming from the kid made her feel like death itself.
Her words seem to carve itself into our very souls. Every last word I can remember and I only felt fear from it.
I pulled out the menu and press logout trying to escape from this nightmare but the button is gone.
Despair filled me. Soon all the NPC appear carrying the bodies of the half conscious people I call my allies.
They were all being dumped in this open field like trash and all the NPC were walking around before kneeling before the girl.
“Now begone from this world and your own.” She tells me.
The pillar of light glows brighter and her small human ears transforms into small silver feathered wings.
I look up in fear at the magic circle in the air and soon only a flash of light came down over the air and everything was bright before turning black.
The next thing I notice I'm inside a cave and all around me were gross small bodies. Laying down behind me was a massive body and with my poor eyes barely opening I saw it. A massive rat was there and all around the pups were feeding of her.
I see a larger pup look my way before it screeched and jumped me and stabbed its small weak claws into my head and biting me in the head again killing me.
The next time I find myself in an egg in the water. I break my shell as a small tadpole.
All my brethren hatch as well and we swim nearby algae but are all eaten.
One by one I am reborn and killed before I can’t do anything. From my brothers, from a predators or even from my own parents.
Slowly my mind wears away and my humanity with it.
This death and life became so bad I just gave up and let my instincts run but the deaths don’t stop.
My life and death continues on and on with my life as a human completely broken and forgotten.
Kuroko PoV
After I blacked out I don’t remember what happened. I felt that surge of power and that warm feeling.
Now I was feeling an even more warm feeling as if I was being hugged.
I force my eyes open and what I find is Rio hugging me while singing one of my favorite lullabies.
I smile and just let her sing as she rocks my body.
When she finishes she looks down and sees me awake. She starts crying and hugs me.
I ask what happened and she tells me everything. How the goddess of Monville manifested through me and killed all the players and brought back any people that were killed.
Rio explained that the school will only be back up next month so they could repair the island and so I was relieved to hear no one was hurt.
Shai also called me and she started to cry through the link and I felt her sadness. I embrace her through the link and let her calm down. She said that once she felt the massive surge of power from me the link was cut as I fainted. Soon all the players that got into Shai also fell down and the monsters killed them all without mercy.
Shai was still up on the island and told me what it was like by sacrificing a few blood crows to fly around and show me through the link.
The island was trashed and a large number of dungeons were destroyed but resurrected by the goddess.
It was amazing the power the gods and how they resolved all those problems so quickly.
I still wonder what happen to the players but all the people said was they were killed by the goddess and once they were dead the gods manifestation told everyone to not spread this as others can hear about it but they should make the cities near the island larger and more industrious. The dragons were massacred and would take many years for them to return so the actual races should take care of the protection themselves.
All the kingdoms have already begun since I was out. Seems I slept for a week after that.
The finally thing I asked about were why my ears turned into wings. Though it made me look adorable I needed that answer.
“Those winged ears were the mark of a High human. High humans are a half breed with a greater fairy race and a human. The children are born with great affinity towards magic and as an adult they can become the greatest of mage of their time.
I could only accept it since I can’t do anything about it.
“How are the princesses and princes?” I ask.
“None are hurt. Actually they are better than ever and have been in contact with hundreds of player politics insulting them for allowing such plagues to walk on our lands. All the kingdoms want to ban players and exile all of them to the MU continent.” Rio says with a cheerful smile.
“It didn’t get accepted right?” I ask.
“Unfortunately still word of what happened got spread around in the shadows and there are many people who are getting rather aggressive.” She says.
“Underground people?” I ask.
She nods and I just sigh and shrug.
“They asked for it. Guess the innocent will pay for the spoiled apples.” I say and Rio sighs.
Afterwards I meet Dalton who was worried and to my great surprise Megumi came and hugged me worried.
For the next month I spent having a grand time with my family.
To be continued...
