Chapter 2 - Leaving the Demon Continent

Chapter 2 - Leaving the Demon Continent

100 years. That’s how long stabilizing the demon continent took. 100 YEARS. If I still aged and didn’t have this practically demi-god rank body, I would have died without even finishing. Mr true god dude told me I could request something, call in a favor if you will, after every successful mission I complete. I specifically asked to be in contact with intelligent human like races this time around and I hope its true.

  Flashback No. 1

Year 99 of my first mission.

I sit back against a jagged rock face and take a deep sigh. What am I even doing here, I should be done already…

*DING*

I look under my robe to see the compass that’s hanging down blinking red after that sound. Does that mean I’m finally done?

[mr true god, am I done? Did it really work?] Drake

Yes that’s what the dinging of the compass means. I have a new mission for you, are you ready?

[Wait wait wait! Shouldn’t I be rewarded for all this? At least listen to a request of mine?] Drake

Alright I understand, let’s consider it a bonus every time you complete a mission. What’s your request?

[Would you let my next mission be near intelligent human like races? I’ve practically been alone in this demon wasteland for too long, I need interaction] Drake

Hmmm that should be reasonable…. Your next mission would have been closer, but due to your request I’ll give you another. Ok, your next mission will be on the Albera continent to the west. The newly founded Church of the End is due to create mass evil in the next 5 years, but the church was created with salvation as the goal. Find out why they’ve strayed from their doctrine and correct it, by any way you deem just.

That should be easy, there’s probably just a couple corrupt priests that need a fixing.

[So west it is! I can finally get off this god forsaken continent…] Drake

Now now, if it were God forsaken, you wouldn’t be here would you?

  End of Flashback

So I’m currently sailing west towards where my handy compass is pointing me. Yes I could simply fly, but that would take away the adventure now wouldn’t it?

All alone on this ocean, this is relaxing. No one to bother me, no enemies to stalk, no demons to kill. Truly peac…

*BANG* I stand back up after being knocked down by a huge swordfish looking monster, and my robe is hardened in protection mode to protect me from harm. Did that fucker just jump out the ocean and attack me?!

[Oniii-chan! You need to stop spacing out just because you can’t see enemies, because I always can, that sword fisher isn’t done yet!] Lily

Yes she called me onii-chan. Yes when I said I was alone, I wasn’t particularly lying. Lily is my robe, an artificial intelligence artifact I made to protect me. Why you ask? Because I was lonely alright.. I’ve never had a little sister before…

[Ok ok Lily I’m alright, you protected me once again.] Drake

[hee-heeee onii, I’ll always protect you, just stop slacking off please.] Lily

And here I am awkwardly rubbing a robe like it’s living. Ok I consider her to be alive. I mean how could she be so cute sounding if she wasn’t! I’m not a creep!

  Flashback No. 2

Year 8 of my first mission.

I just got away from a swarm of huge-ass demon bugs trying to sting me, and constantly setting the atmosphere around me ablaze with fire magic doesn’t seem to work. They just keep coming and coming.

I’ve had this problem countless times already. I need a solution, it’s not like I’ll actually die if they all sting me but it’d hurt reaaally bad, and I’m not a friend to pointless pain. Ok hmmmmm….

[a robe… one that hardens at the sight of enemies… no if I make that, it’ll simply harden everytime a enemy comes close. I need one that actively protects me… tries to protect me… I GOT IT!!] Drake

I immediately pull out circular mana crystal and begin to work. Chisel it down to a 2-D sphere, and focus. I need to focus harder than anything I’ve ever focused for before. I’m about to program magical artificial intelligence. Thank you test subjects robo parents No. 1 and 2!

2 hours later

I’m DONE! Ok fit in inside the premade metal disk, and here!

[uh..uh where am I? Who are you? Why can’t I move! Get me out of her..]

[Calm down, calm down. Listen to the sound of my voice. Your name is Lily, I just created you. Do you know who I am?] Drake

[Um.. oh. ONII-CHAN I LOVE YOU! You made me! HI! Oh no, I can’t protect you like this, what to do, what to do….] Lily

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

[Hang on Lily, I’ll help you out now.] Drake

I lift up the already made oversized and tattered at the ends white robe, that I had made out of 2 albino wyvern wings 3 years ago.

[I’m going to attach you to this robe of mine ok Lily? Do you think you could protect me as this?] Drake

[Hmmm that should work Onii! Just hurry up because some bug looking monsters are closing in a mile away from your position] Lily

Fuck. I need to hurry. I quickly reverse my robe and weld the disk shaped Lily to the point where the robe would meet my waist on the back. Set 4 modes, Loose, Protection, Cancel, and Free-style. Ok done.

I swing the robe around me fast as I hear the bugs getting closer and closer…

[PROTECTION MODE. ROBE UP LILY!] Drake

  End of Flashback

And here I am, facing a fish with a sword for a nose. Seriously, where does this world get its monsters from. I think I’ll end this fast.

The fish starts to swim faster and faster circling the boat, until it made a near 90 degree beeline straight towards me and jumped out of the water. 10 meters…. 5 meters…. 2 meters….

*Vrmmm Swish* I turn my laser sword off and look at the freshly charred corpse behind me.

[Wow! I split it directly in half this time! I love how my sword pre cooks the meat so I do even less work!] Drake

Feast your eyes on this! A 5 meter long fish cut clean in half at the spine, head to the tail fin behind itself. The meat already cooked at the edges because of how hot my blade is.

Yes I ended up making a laser sword. Let me go ahead and explain the gear i’ve made over the past 100 years.

For defence, first is Lily, my robe/little sister, my idea of a robe that actively wants to protect me. Under Lily I’m wearing a black gi like top, with the corresponding black pants and metal tipped boots, all the fabric made from wyvern parts because those fellows are ridiculously tough…

Then for offence, I have 2 laser swords, one on my waist and the other on my back under the robe. Laser sword No. 1 is regular katana length and emits blazing black plasma, magnetized into a loop so it makes a blade. Laser sword No. 2 is a 6ft long 2.5ft width broadsword, good for bigger monsters but uses more mana.

By using mana, I mean I have to charge them both. I made them with mana crystals as the base, mana crystals in this world are the same as my old world, you program certain commands and input the corresponding mana to have it do what you’d like. Perfect for making artifacts.

And for magic, I’d like to think i’ve come far. Fire magic to turn dragon's to ash’s. Ice magic to create a glacier. Metal magic to create a castle. The only magic I somewhat have problems with are space and time magic, I can teleport myself in a mile radius, but not any further. For time magic, i can slow the time down around me creating a time bubble to say, but I can’t use the bubble to travel back in time. Maybe that’s time and space magic combined…

To explain even further, i’ve truly become a cheat. And that’s why I made swords, so things become a little more challenging. And plus, who doesn’t want to slice things up with laser swords??

Back to the point, I’m currently cooking swordfish meat to eat, and I’m expecting it to be super tasty.

[Onii-chan, are you sure you really handled your previous mission right? I mean… you basically did nothing. Isn’t that lame?] Lily

Wow Lily, that kinda hurt actually...

[No that was the smartest thing to do. With them there, it’ll turn into another continent like the humans make hopefully. Hopefully my plan will have future benefits too..] Drake

  Flashback No. 3

Year 80 of my first mission.

Over these countless years of slaying demons, I’ve learned one thing, that it’s tiring and never ending. I would have to stay here forever to complete this mission.

Why was I sent here alone UGHHH…. wait.

[Alone? I don’t have to be do I?] Drake

2 hours, 700 demons and a 7 sided magic polygonal star later…

[...And here lies life! I create thee in each in 100 slain demons, formed by my own misgivings, come to life sins!!] Drake

I slam my hand down in the middle of the red glowing star and 700 souls of monsters twist together, forming into 100 each point of the star, blending together, finally twisting into reality making flesh and blood monsters, my seven sins…

[My Lord!].. Pride/Lust/Envy/Wrath/Gluttony/Greed/Sloth

They all get down on one knee except for the big ass dragon and I look over them all. This will work. This has to work. Oops, I need to give the a job don’t I?

[Pride!] Drake

[Yes sir!] Pride

[You are the race of dragons, you will pride yourself in your ability to fly above others figuratively, and in strength. Protect the mountain range to the east, where your non-intelligent race of wyverns live…. Lust!] Drake

[..Sir!] Lust

[You are the race of succubus, you will lust over life itself. Protect the forests to the south… Envy!] Drake

I go on explaining their task. Envy is a vampire, she will protect the caves and underground. Gluttony is a slime like humanoid, he will protect the moist lands. Wrath is dragon humanoid, he will protect the dry plains. Greed is a pixie, she will protect the sky. Sloth is a lamia, and she will protect the coastlines. I get to the end of explaining to them how to never let the non-intelligent demons overfill out of the continent and then I say,

[These book of magic’s I wrote will make you stronger, and I’ve made one for each of you. You will cultivate 2 dantians fully and become strong enough to guard this continent. If after that you feel unfulfilled and are done with the cultivation of the book, the last page will be readable. Only read it if you are ready to give up your titled sin and pass it to another, and only if you’ve done your job well until then.] Drake

I hand them each a book while blurring out my face with an illusion, don’t want them finding me as they are, do I? By the way, the last page reads this, the path to greater strength is dangerous, and cannot be done without supervision. Find a successor and hand them this book to learn, and you’ll receive a token that’ll point to my position. Find me. State your reason for wanting more strength, and if I find the reason just, I shall personally teach you.

I turn around to leave but I feel a hand on my shoulder… it’s Lust.

[but Sir…] Lust

[No buts. This is your life now, and I can’t be with you while you rule, you all should have my ideals so I assume you are all just. I must leave now, be well.] Drake

I walk away and find myself behind a bush sitting down grabbing my head..

GOOD LORD, i gotta get away. Lust has the biggest boobs I have ever seen, at least F-cups.. no are those G-cups? Go go go, don’t let her see I’m blushing cause she touched me…

I teleport away and land in a cave I made my home the past years.

[I made her, does it make it wrong to feel so attracted?! Is that wrong!?] Drake

[Onii are you talking to me? Why would I condone you being attracted to any other girl, I’m obviously the only girl you need! Hmmphh!] Lily

Ok forget Lily, I need some alone time RIGHT NOW. cancel mode. My robe twirls off me and gets sucked into Lily’s disk like metal body and I sit her down at the start of the cave to warn me of monsters…

[I hope she reads the last page heeee-he… no do I? Lily would never let me… is this going to be a problem in the future?!] Drake

  End of Flashback

Sitting in silence, it feels Lily is staring me down with non-existent eyes… is this the protection I programed into you? Please don’t protect my chastity Lily….

[Hmmph, by future benefits, you mean the benefit of meeting Lust’s bust again don’t you Onii-chan…] Lily

[No my little sister! Not at all!.... maybe a bit. But I am a man! Don’t get hung up on that pleas....] Drake

I get interupted by the sound of sails swaying in the wind that aren't ours and swing my head to the left.

Is that another boat?? Finally, real people to talk to??
