"What are you all waiting for!? KILL HER!" The leader screamed at his soldiers once, but they simply stopped attacking me when they saw one of my first techniques, which I still have no idea how truly works. All I know is that I simply can't take damage when I use it for some reason.
"But, sir! They have the power from legend, a flawless full counter! It's suicide even to try," Says one of the soldiers before being abruptly interrupted by the leader. "Don't fear men! God is with us! I'm sure the child doesn't have much fuel left in the tank."
Reluctantly, the men soon pick up their spears and swords and resume their assault on me. Still, with the confidence boost I gained thanks to the deaths of several soldiers at my hand, I'm starting to feel invincible, especially with the deserved announcement from the system.
[Experience has reached the required level]
[You have increased from level one to level seven]
Just what I had expected, people give much more experience points over the petty creatures I had to kill hundreds of just to get another level. Killing people might not be such a bad thing. After all, perhaps if I kill everyone here, I can recover my lost Experience in a single fight; this is getting exciting!
[Unlocked unique ability: Mana blade & shield]
Finally, something that would allow me to fight back without the need to use an overly powerful skill that honestly feels like it's taking a toll on me. I just don't feel it yet; one hopes it's nothing terrible, but we shall see at the end if it's bad or not.
"AHHHHH!! DIE!" The soldiers try to get me, but thanks to my increased base speed after gaining several levels now, they can't even keep up with me anymore. They simply stood no chance if they could barely follow me at level one now that I was at level seven.
I simply jump back and keep running away into the tree line to get them away from their master, who will inevitably be forced to start looking for them or me to make sure the job is done as he says it. The soldiers all try their best to hit me while I'm not looking, but their speed is unable to match mine; thus, they can barely keep me in their sight, giving me plenty of room to cast the new spell I just got.
"Darkness magic! Covered in darkness! Mana blade and shield!" A sudden rush of darkness flows deep inside me, rapidly redirecting to my hands, especially my right hand; soon, it feels natural to semi-close my hand like I'm about to hold something, and then in the next instant, what looks like a black blade appears right out of thin air.
With the blade now in hand, I feel much better, but another instant later, my left arm also feels funny until a small rectangle shield appears on my left arm; the shield is nothing short of incredible as it covers the length of my entire forearm only boosting my confidence even more.

"Alright! It's time to rumble! Just remember Lord Auri's moves! YES! REMEMBER THOSE AWESOME SWINGS HE TOOK AT ME!" Maybe it was all thanks to the accelerating sensation of dark power inside me that gave me courage, or perhaps I did change, but whatever the reason, I soon took the bold decision to try my luck against trained professionals without much training myself.
Seconds later, I suddenly turned around and got ready to fight the only guy who seemed fast enough to keep up with me. I started assaulting him with my left arm in front of me and my sword behind me, ready to strike. There wasn't really much going on inside my head at the moment, as the rush of darkness gave me a euphoric feeling that genuinely made me feel invincible.
As a matter of fact, why did I even need that regulator? What was the point of regulating such a fantastic feeling? I didn't know it at the time, but my eyes were slowly getting all blacked out, and my mind, well, let's just say I started feeling like the world belonged to me.
"What the?!" That's all the soldier managed to say before I chopped their head off clean with a single swipe that he barely even saw coming. A large amount of blood splurts all over me and my face, but instead of feeling sadness or regret, I begin to feel alive! TRULY ALIVE!
After taking the first human life ever with my own hands, I would've expected to feel something, but it didn't feel like much. Not only that, but their blood seemed to cause me even more pleasure. That euphoric feeling only intensified with the increase of enemy blood on me.
[Experience Blah blah blah blah]
I don't even pay attention to the voice in my head anymore. I just want more; I want to feel that blood splurting into me like a fountain of water, like a sadistic shower of pure happiness. My hearing suddenly goes bonkers, and I hear footsteps approaching from afar as if they were next to me.
My vision goes a little blurry for a second, but it soon returns even better than before as I feel an incredible feeling deep within me. At the time, I lacked the self-control to notice, but my eyes were gone. At this point, a simple void of darkness was in their place.
I could see the soldiers coming my way and their movements ahead of time. I could see everything; I could do it all; I was everything! My heart was slowly being taken over by the pure destain I had toward people from my previous world and in this one as well; why did we even allow humans and demons to live among us?
{Yoimiya chuckle followed by hundreds of slash sounds muffled like they didn't even occur}
Wait? Amongst us? What was I saying? Did I mean among the witches? No, I also wanted to kill them all of a sudden; what was happening to me? What was this? Ugh! Something was strange to me. Something was off; I felt odd; something wasn't right.
Soon, my vision goes a little blurry again, and when I look around me, I simply freeze at the sight of such violent brutality. There were dead bodies all around me, all of them with gruesome wounds like some sort of wild monster had killed them, but there were no monsters in sight.
"You unholy thing! UGHH!" A dying voice behind me talks; once I look back, I almost feel like puking all of sudden when I see his guts all over the place and his top half now dead. There are organs everywhere, blood all over the place, all over me. My white dress is now all a deep red color, and guilt starts falling over my heart.
