Chapter 4
Its taking longer than I thought for him to turn into one of mine,
so long even that I had enough time to fish a little bit ok maybe more than a little bit
***Ding***
Killed 50 Big Mouth Fish
Level Range from 1-4
Awarded 50 XP
There weren’t any more level 5 ones and now there aren’t that many fish left in the lake so
I think I killed the boss fish but I’m now only 5 XP from my first Level up away
As I’m sitting down again, I feed mana to my pack of Cigarettes it takes exactly 30 Mana to refill it so 1 Point for each Cigarette
---
I cant think clear the pain is unbearable its as if hot iron running through my veins.
And then it’s just gone I can’t believe it at first the pain is so suddenly gone like it was never there and not just that my Back pain is gone too I feel like I’m in my twenty’s again no pain just this lightness as if I could move mountains.
I feel the Air on my body every hair that gets turned by the slightest breeze
I can feel every blade of grass that I'm laying on
Smell the forest like never before
I take a big Breath I smell the blood of fish near me and my stomach growls
I'm not even hungry but it feels as if I could eat an entire cow
I feel a presence near me I smell hear and now its my Master
I find it disturbing to think of here as my master but nothing I will do can change that
I open my eyes and see here and I know all felling's of rebelling are gone I'm here's now a feeling of protectiveness overcomes me like never before

As I see him wake up I try to mend this relationship even if we had a hard start
“Do you want a Cigarette?”
“Yes Mistress” he says and pulls himself up so that he´s kneeling in front of me
“Cut the crap my name is Selina but you can call me Seli”
I give him one to smoke and he stays awkwardly kneeling
I pet the ground near me invitingly and he shovels over and sits down
Now where siting here in silence
“So I have a few Questions?”
“Ask away Miss..Eh Seli”
“Where are we? And what is this plane Like?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not native from this plane I’m a how to say it?.. Outworlder”
“Seli you should be really careful with who you share this information plane travel is forbidden there is too much risk with plane travelers!"
“oh that’s good to know”
“so tell me what I should know about all this here everything you know about this plane and the System I probably know less than a child”
“Ok hmm I probably should start about the origins of this plane and work my way from there
Ok First there was nothing much here just a small dimensional pocket split from some other plane of existence but then a young goddess found it and though that it would be a great starting point for here Divine realm so she planted a Tree here and feed it divinity to claim this pocket of space but then something happened the different churches aren’t really sure why but she died and left the Tree and a handful of Fey to nourish the Tree
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
But it still had that sliver of divinity and the Fay started to worship the Tree the danced under it Breed under it and battled under it this plane was really small at this time the didn’t have much here except the tree but as they started to worship it the divinity inside the Tree started to absorb that faith and grow stronger but it wasn’t controlled growth it was chaos and the Tree grow the Land encountering other pockets of space out there dead planes and it started to absorb them the fay were under the rule of Titania now the fighting stopped after 500 years She was one of the first created from the Goddess and she still rules to this day she’s one of the oldest beings here in the ever growing forest and one day the Tree absorbed a dying plane on it a war torn race the Elves as there savior the swore to protect the Tree at all cost
The Fay and the elves live at the center of this plane near the Tree
After the Elves came the Dragons the took the highest mountains and made there homes there with them came the dwarves skilled smiths and engineers they are feared for there war machines and the destruction the bring upon you if you hurt one of them you have to understand that something like age was a thing not yet know till the arrival of the dragons and dwarves, fay and elves are age less the don’t die of old age like the rest of us.
Dragons too don’t die of old age but the grow bigger and stronger with age.
Dwarves have an average lifespan of 50-60 thousand years but you will probably never see a child of them there childbirth rate is really low like every 5-10 thousand years the get one child
And dwarves are considered children till there 1000 years old
After the Dwarves and Dragons arrived the different races came together and signed a treaty to never hurt the Divine Tree and protect it at all costs after that nearly 2-3 million years past without another race joining the forest but the only ones that really realized that that much time was gone were the dwarves that’s the problem with immortal races the lose the focus of time but when your sleep takes a few millenniums or one of your parties takes a few hundred years than its understandable that time doesn’t matter to you after this long peace the spark of war nearly forgotten the tree reached a new plane and without anyone knowing because the forest was so big now the Retix came a race of insect like beings that destroyed there own plane because the kill anything the see and with every death the get stronger it was a plague like never seen before in this forest a war that nearly destroyed the tree the dragons burned much if the forest around the outskirt of the `know territories´ but at last and at great cost the killed all Retix and burned everything the ever build the only prove the were here the Burned plains around the core of the forest
After this great war and near death of the tree the 4 races came together again and planned for the arrival of the next race that brings war again the forbade plane travel but still the Tree grows and after so many years of worshipping it why should they stop now
No the build defenses like the great wall and many magical formations to protect there Kingdoms and the Tree.
And again many millenniums later the next race came the Orks green warriors of immense strength nothing is as important to them as there Honor and following the Codex of Honor the were first treated warily the last race did to much damage to trust a new one but slowly the were integrated Orks brought with them a new change a kind of speed to the immortal races even the dwarves are immortal to them Orks only live to 250 years but that brought a new freshness to this old Forest and just 600 years after the arrival of the Orks came the Lamia and Goblins Lamias are great Witches and goblins are a slave race created by them they brought with them many new concepts slavery curses but also great things like new arts of magic never seen before before them only the 4 elemental magics were known but the Tree absorbs a plane completely and integrates them so with them a new magic rushed through the air it was a time of many changes
Then finally after about 9 million years we the Humans arrived and by absorbing the shattered remains of our plane the Tree set the system free in the forest it was something new never before seen by any race
And then we get to now nearly 15 thousand years after our integration in the forest and many changes through the time like the birth of the centaurs and beast kin both races created by the a mad Lamia she took Humans and different animals and beasts and fused them even now most of the beast kin are nothing more than slaves.
That’s most of what I know about the history of the Forest most of it from Books from the Church of The Tree
Right now the different races are mostly peaceful sure there are a few wars but with so many races and kingdoms how could it be entirely peaceful
you can think of this Forest like many circle that get bigger and bigger The first circle would be the Tree and the Lands of the Elves in the West from the Elves is the Land of the Fae the were first here but let the elves stay near the tree because there racial ability to speak with trees the know how to take care of him the best on the mountains near the Tree live the oldest and strongest of the Dragons the sleep most of the time but are nearby if there is any emergency in the 7 Mountains that are close to the Tree live the dwarves the Dragons live near the peaks, the Dwarves deep down in the earth there forges need this molten fire the call it earth blood the only thing that we know of that´s hotter is dragon fire.
Out side the big walls build by the 4 Immortal races live the orks, Bestkin, centaurs and we the humans The humans have the largest kingdoms most of our slaves are Beastkin and that reason for war most of the time with the Beastkin föderation but out here we only get news of the war wen its over again
The Orks live in Tribes but nobody is stupid enough to attack them the live for battle there rite for becoming an adult is throwing a child naked into the forest and if the want to come back as an adult the have to bring a beast with them at least 10 levels above them if the cant make it the live a year long in shame and then can try it again
The centaurs even if the have the same origin as the beastkin made a small kingdom together
The only ones that probably will never have a kingdom of there own are the goblins the are happy living with and serving the Lamia
We are currently near the outskirts of the Human Kingdom the nearest settlement is 3 months at horseback away
