Lunch time came and went and now it’s almost night. The girls came back for lunch but they are making sure to not talk near me. Guess they have some kind of strategy and are working on it.

I looked at around ⅔ of the books in the office and nothing yet. I am still helping Sophia with work so I hope I didn’t miss anything because of it.

Dinner time comes before I notice. There is quite the feast, lots of meat, vegetables and fruit juice. I was about to say that it was because it’s the weekend but I remembered that the people don’t have a concept of a day of week here. Weeks are something people know what they are, some random ancient kingdom used to have a calendar similar to the one in my old world, just with fewer days, but it stopped being used when the kingdom fell. I wish I found more useful things instead of this kind of information when reading the books.

After dinner and before bed I try to find out what Ancient Magic is by myself using the information that it might involve some kind of sacrifice. I tried to sacrifice an apple to create a small flame but nothing worked and I almost exploded the apple when I tried to put mana on it.

Infusing something with mana and thinking about sacrificing or consuming it to activate a spell doesn’t seem to work. I tried to pray but nothing happened too. I went outside and put the apple in a small circle and tried to infuse the circle with mana while thinking about sacrificing the apple to something so I could have a small flame appear but that also didn’t work as I couldn’t infuse the ground with mana.

I can put my mana in a lot of things but not the ground among various other places for some reason. I guess it has something to do with my elemental affinities but that is just expeculation on my part.

After taking a bath but before I sleep, Monica comes to my room. I am still feeling something weird from her so I am a little on guard. She motions to me to go to sit on my bed. She kneels behind me when I do and massage my shoulder for a few minutes before leaving without saying a word. If not for the strange aura part I wouldn’t mind more of this. I couldn’t really relax.

During the night I suddenly wake up and become unable to sleep again. I am not normally tired or anything but sleeping helps my mind stay sharp. The strange thing about this situation is that I feel that even my mind is refreshed, like I slept normally.

The nights are really silent so if I do anything I would probably wake up everyone else in the mansion.

I sit on my bed and look at myself in the mirror I have in my room at a distance. How I changed since I came here, not this mansion, but this world. I am now 97% female, at least as far as appearances go, I can use magic, I know how to fight and I actually fought a lot of monsters and people. I killed people before so it’s not like I wasn’t ready for this kind of world. Strangely enough I found love, at least I hope that it was love. Never in my wildest dreams I would think my life would turn this way.

Now that I am thinking about my old life a little, I hope not many innocent people died because of my absence in my old world. Pretty sure I, along with a small number of people, were responsible for the accounts of some powerful people running some small shaddy countries. If I remember right at least one guy left everything about his finances to me. He is probably dead at this point if he didn’t manage to find my archives and locate the places where I had to put the money.

Speaking of this type of guy, I wonder if that kid someone tried to push on me once is doing ok?I almost killed one of my ex-bosses when I heard that boy say that he was ready to satisfy me. One of my few rules when it came to jobs is that I didn’t involve myself with children. First because it sickened me and second because it was the easiest way to have someone leash you. One photo of you indulging yourself with children and everyone would be able to know your face if they wanted to. I had the power to not be fucked around most of the time but not enough for this.

I stand up and remove my clothes as well as the dildo from my vagina. When Monica first shoved that into me I thought that I would begin to loosen up a little but as soon as I removed it from my body everything went back to being as tight as virgin.

I take a look at the mirror and really look at my body and face, something I didn’t really do in a while. My body is great but it’s not a perfect sexy body, at least for me. I have curves but I don’t think I can fully show their full potential, I don’t have the full confidence of a beautiful woman yet, I don’t even use makeup. My face is probably a 7/10 naturally going by everyone I saw so far.

One thing I am worried about is that my body has no changes at all. No fat or muscle appears no matter what I do and my physical strength seems to stay in place. On one hand I will stay with this sexy body of mine no matter how much I abuse it by the looks of things but on the other hand I won’t be able to increase my physical abilities normally.

With nothing to do I begin to do some stretches and while doing it I catch myself in the mirror doing a somewhat suggestive position as I put one of my legs up all the way to my head. For a second I think I would fuck myself if I had the chance, or let me fuck myself. I can’t really get attracted to guys but something in my mind craves dick. So if a woman like me appeared somewhere I would be all over her or below, I really don’t care at this point.

The sun begins to rise before I realise. I shove the dildo in my vagina and dress myself up for the day to come.

I do my usual morning routine of exercises and taking care of my swords before breakfast is ready. During breakfast the girls finally talk to me.

“We are ready!” Zelfina says.

“Ok. Let’s do it after we digest our breakfast a little.”

“What will be our present?” Alfina asks.

“You have to pass the test first.”

“What are you doing?” Sophia asks.

“To test how good they are, I made a small test. They have to make me leave the area without killing me.”

“Shouldn’t they get some help if they have to fight you?” Monica asks.

“I won’t really fight back, more like defend myself. I am not crazy to actually fight them seriously.” Everyone in this room knows that I have enough firepower to wipe cities.

“I hope your strategy works, I slept quite late because you three didn’t stop talking at night.” Mess complains.

“... I swear we talked in the lowest tone possible.” Maxia says.

“I have good ears.”

After that, there wasn’t much talk. Me and the girls made sure to prepare physically and digest our food before we went outside the city. We did that 2 hours after breakfast.

“Are all 4 of you really ready?” I ask as I finish making the square. Ice Cream is here too.

“Yeah.” They all say. “Woof!”

“Ok, ok. Before we start, I need to do something with all of you. Make a line, side by side.” They all seem confused but do it anyway. “I am going to slap each one of you with a moderate amount of force.”

“Why?” Maxia asks all of a sudden.

“Because there is a chance that you will freeze when I do something during the test if you aren’t prepared to feel pain from me.”

They all were ready to say something but stopped. I gave all of them a good slap that almost sent them to the ground. I didn’t use my full force, it would have knocked them out. Alfina cried a little but the other 2 helped her.

I placed my swords a few meters away from us so I wouldn't accidentally hit the girls with them and went to the center of the square.

“Alright, come and get me. Do anything that wouldn’t kill me.” I say as I point to them.

They all nod at each other and proceed to encircle me. Zelfina at the north, Alfina at the west, Ice Cream at the south and Maxia at the east. Ice Cream has the taming spell on him.

“Ice Cream, Charge!” Alfina shouts. The dog ran faster than a horse in my direction headbutting in the chest area. I feel like I was hit by a rock, if I didn’t block with my arms I would be out of breath right now.

The impact seems to have hurt Ice Cream and made him rebond out of the square. Maxia circles around and heals him before going back to her original position.

“Ice Cream, again!” Alfina shouts. This time I am prepared and just dodge to my left. Ice Cream passed straight where I was and landed near Zelfina.

Not a moment later both of them charged at me. Ice Cream went for my legs and Zelfina seems to be going for my throat. I crouch to dodge Zelfina’s stab and grab Ice Cream’s colar as he gets near me.

I then throw Ice Cream to my left in the direction of Alfina and make Zelfina trip using my body. As she hits the ground I grab her feet and remove her from the square before she can get up herself.

Everyone gets up and the girls take the bags they brought. Since I won’t leave the square they pretty much can do anything.

They all get in position again and begin to throw rocks from the bag at me. The first two or three actually hit me but after that I just use a weak heat barrier to stop the momentum of the rocks before deflecting it with my hands.

They continue it for a few minutes as Ice Cream is picking the stones that are inside the square as I deflect the others. Under normal circumstances I could just win and knock out everyone here but that isn’t the test so I have to only retaliate when they actually try something against me inside the square.

When they run out of breath they stop and converge at Zelfina’s location after breathing for a few seconds.

Alfina casts the taming spell on Ice Cream Again. They all face me and everyone besides Maxia charges at me.

Ice Cream is the first to reach me with his super speed. I dodge again only to have Zelfina and Alfina Jump at me while I move. We all fall to the ground but still inside the Square. Before I can start to move, Ice Cream also jumps on top of my legs.

If all that wasn’t enough Maxia finally shows herself and creates a ball of water around my head.

I have to admit it is a good plan. If I don’t get enough air even I wouldn’t be able to maintain consciousness for too long and that will not kill me if they stop before I die.

At first I try to just boil the water but I notice that it’s not working as Maxia is constantly creating more water. Sadly for everyone here Maxia has to be near me and Alfina and Zelfina can’t fully contain my arms.

I use some force to free my right arm and grab Maxia’s leg. She is a little surprised but doesn't cancel the spell. I think about emitting the strongest current of electricity from my body I can without actually being affected by it and it happens. All the girls and Ice Cream get a small shock that breaks their concentration enabling me to just get up as the literal shock they just receive begins to pass.

It wasn’t anything powerful, I can’t even burn anything with the amount of power I used but for a body it’s enough to make you recoil, like opening a badly wired electric shower, just a little worse.

“I have to congratulate all of you. Not Even I can just lift all of you without the use of magic.”

“Ahhh, It almost worked!” Zelfina shouts in anger as they stand up. I would say that I can probably hold my breath for a few minutes but that would probably lead to questions I don’t want to answer with Alfina around.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

“I forgot that she could use thunder.” Maxia says.

“I am all tingly.” Alfina says.

“Are we continuing?” I ask.

“Yes!” They all shout.

I get ready to defend myself and everyone surrounds me again.

“Go Ice Cream! The legs.” Alfina shouts. Along with it Zelfina also runs towards me.

Ice Cream is not going as fast as before so Zelfina is just behind him. He goes straight to my left leg and I let him bite it as Zelfina is coming straight at my throat again.

I use the healing fire on my leg to make sure I am not at a disadvantage and prepare to defend against Zelfina.

She does the first trust just a meter away from me. I dodge that easily by just moving my body. She then starts to do random slashes. I can block some of them but she is really forcing herself and the slashes are too fast for me to parry all of them.

A few seconds later balls of light and water begin to hit my shoulder making me lose a bit of my balance.

As I get ready to move and break this situation, Zelfina casts a spell on me with the sword's slashes. She probably didn’t even notice it. My body starts to get heavier little by little and Ice Cream begins to try to drag me out of the square. I can’t let this continue.

I make sure my right arm is hit by one of the slashes and make it move backwards in a way that signals that my guard is open as I also move back a little, like I am about to fall.

The elemental balls start to come faster and faster. Alfina shouts something I can’t hear and Ice Cream Begins to really put all his force into dragging me and Zelfina takes the opening I gave, going straight for my throat again with a stab. From her point of view I am probably about to fall but it’s a shame it is just a trap.

Using my right hand I sumo slap the rapier, making it go straight at my hand and changing the trajectory. Zelfina is in shock but I give no time for her to pull back. With my left hand I then grab her shirt with all my strength and pull her towards Ice Cream where both of them crash into each other, freeing me for a moment.

I quickly remove the rapier from my hand and ignoring the pain I grab Zelfina and Ice Cream, one with each hand, and toss them outside the square before they could get some sort of standing on the ground.

Maxia is quick to go and heal them, not that they got any kind of bad injury, probably only a few scratches at the worst case scenario.

As both of our injuries begin to close they all start to talk among themselves.

“We surrender.” Zelfina shouts.

“Are you sure?” I ask them in return.

“Yeah, we are almost out of mana.” Maxia says.

I stop for a second to see if they are telling the truth and it looks like it is. I was probably being hit by a lot more spells than I was feeling. I sit on the ground near them.

“What now?” Alfina asks.

“All of you should probably train and try again at a later date.”

“Can we do that?” Zelfina asks in surprise.

“Yeah. I wasn’t really expecting all of you to be able to actually do it in the first try.”

“We wanted to win now.”

“All of you can’t even use offensive spells and you think you can actually do something? I thought you three would take at least a week to create something.”

“But you would have seen us.” Maxia says.

“You know you don’t need to practice near the mansion, right?”

“We couldn’t think of anything.” Alfina says. The other two seem to agree at some level.

“Anything is pretty much what is possible.”

“What do you mean?” Maxia asks.

“Take a look.” I say as I stand up. I then create a flame in the shape and size of a horse that runs for a few meters above the ground before disappearing. “I didn’t name this spell, I just imagined it and it came as I wanted. I could have made that the horse exploded on contact or that it would burn anything it touches. You three just need to think about what you are able to do with what you have.”

“That's good and all but you didn’t teach me how to cast spells like them.” Zelfina says while pointing at the other two.

“But you can cast spells, just not like them. Your slashes had a spell on them. I was getting heavier and heavier every time you hit me.”

“But I didn’t mean to.”

“But now you know that you can. You never showed any interest in being just a mage so I thought it would be better if you didn’t start to think that you can only cast spells like mages do. You can do it more naturally as you do other things. I do it all the time when fighting.”

“What?” She asks me. I get up and pick my swords.

“Razor Flame!” I say as I slash the air making a flame blade that goes towards the sky and dissipates after a few seconds.”See, I can only do that if I cut the air with my sword.” I can’t just use that spell with my hands.

“What should I do then?”

“Put your feelings into your attacks. This goes for everyone. You need to want a result for it to happen.” They all nod in agreement. I clean them with my fire and we go back to the city.

When we get back we go straight to the mansion where the girls complain a little that I was unfair to everyone but we continue with our day. They can't really use spells anymore today so we go do our things.

Sophia takes this time to teach Alfina and I take this time to finish looking at the books until it is lunch time.

Mess doesn’t show up for lunch but about an hour later I see him coming down to get something to eat.

During the middle of the afternoon I finally finished going through all the books. Nothing useful was found about ancient magic or ancient history. I found a book talking about the intelligent races that I didn’t know existed, so that was a plus.

Without much to do I started to read the book. The book was a type of encyclopedia, with images and everything but it was somewhat old and some of it’s pages were unreadable.

Reading what was actually possible I finally found what I think are almost all the intelligent races of this world. Pretty sure there has to be a lost or hidden one out there no one made contact with knowing how this world works.

Besides Humans, Beastmen, Elves,Dwarves, Demons and Angels I found that there are also merpeople, the mermaids and merman, goblins, lizardmen and insect people.

The merpeople aren’t actually all mermaids and merman going by the book. There is also another race that is rarely born that is a fishman. They are humanoid fish that can have one or more characteristics of sea life while maintaining a somewhat humanoid appearance. The example shown in the book about these fishman is of a humanoid shark with 4 tentacles instead of an arm. They are said to be really tall normally, at least 3 meters tall.

The merman and mermaids are not described as beautiful, they can be beautiful but they are just normal people like humans. None of these merpeople can leave the ocean for more than a day or they start to die of dehydration.

One thing I found about elves is their normal life span, ignoring what they can gain from magic, as well how they actually grow. Elves grow like humans until they hit an age between 16 and 30 years old. After that they maintain their appearance for around 600 more years. When they are a year away from dying their age catches up to them in that one year. Also it looks like elves have just a little less people than humans in terms of population, at least going by this book. I have no idea how old it is and the part where I could find it is damaged. But it doesn’t look older than 500 years. There are older books here so I can compare them.

The elves have access to another dimension where they can only enter and exit once in their lives and most of them live there. There is a little handwritten note saying that the other dimension is actually somewhere on this planet that is almost impossible to reach, even with magic.

Dwarves are described as afraid of the world as they almost don’t leave the place they are born. I only saw enough dwarves to count on my finger so I can’t say this is wrong. Dwarves are able to make veins of ores refill themselves with magic by just existing near them. The author doesn't know if it is because of a blessing or a cultural thing but it happens. Due to this, dwarves tend to live closed inside mountains and mines. They also don’t need air anywhere but in the water. Their lifespan is kinda hard to calculate as dwarves can actually live a very variable amount of time. Going by this book the first Dwarf is still alive after 3 milenia. Aging is also a mystery for the author.

Beastman is one of the few parts of the book with almost no damage. There is also their origin here. Looks like around 2500-2600 years ago, going by their tales, humans were stranded somewhere and pleaded to the gods for anything to help them survive. One of the gods answered and changed the human’s bodies to that of the beastman. How many there were is lost to history.

Beastman can generate any mammal beastman when reproducing ignoring the mom and father. This only usually happens when a beastwoman has lots of kids, but it happens. The exemple on the book is that of a beastman couple of half-tigers that after 6 kids had a half-dog kid.

Beastmen tend to live around the same amount as a normal human if nothing goes wrong. They are more susceptible to illness than humans so they tend to die more easily when that is involved.

The next one was the goblins. Their description was the green people of a far land. They could have any shape and size you can imagine, ones with small bodies, like that of a kid and a head so big that the neck shouldn’t be able to sustain it. Others with really big bodies, like of an adult warrior, and heads of a child. Going by the images drawn into the book, it looks like goblins, orcs and ogres are all classified as goblins, just different types. Not much is known about them as they are hostile, not like the demons, but hostile nonetheless.

Demons have little to nothing useful. The book I found before has more information.

Next on the book were Lizardmen. As the name suggests, they are humanoid lizards. Going by the images in the book, they seem to vary somewhat, with some looking like humanoid crocodiles while others look like more generic humanoid lizards. Their faces are always animal-like and look like they don’t actually speak, they use a spell that generates sounds to mimic speaking. They also can regenerate any limbs and their tails if they are cut.

The insect people are native from the Death-Trap, the continent that pretty much no one goes to. The insect people are really strange. They are able to freely change their appearance as long as they maintain a balance between humanoid and insect features but to do that they also need to consume the insects in question. Looks like spiders are also insects to these people because there is a saying to be aware of spider women.

The last ones in the book are angels. Unlike what I thought I was going to find, angels are not only the winged people that the church deals with. Angels are the name of the winged and flying races, like harpies and some sort of energy race that lives on the sky continent.

There is nothing useful about the angels, only vague explanations about their powers, like, they are really powerful, they can appear anywhere and they are messengers of the gods, etc…

The spirits have nothing. The harpies have something at least. Harpies born with bodies like that of the angels, a human body with wings on it’s back instead of having wings for arms, are capable of having children like humans as well as laying eggs. They are also stronger than normal harpies, independently of their sex, because their bones are more human like and their wings still can sustain them in the hair like normal. Harpies can stay on the air for days even when sleeping.

After putting the books down I notice that it is already night. I leave the office to find the maids preparing dinner.

“Where’s Sophia?” I ask as she didn’t come back to the office after lunch.

“Outside. She said she would come back before dinner.” Monica answers me.

“Ok…” Without much to do I go walk a little around the mansion as I wait for dinner. While doing it I see Mess arriving at the door. “Hello.”

“Hello.” he says to me in a somewhat angry tone.

“Did something happen?”

“I fought a bull. It hurts when one charges at you.”

“... How are you alive?” Mess is not weak by any stretch, but he is not the physical type. A normal bull could kill him under the right circumstances.

“Maxia. The girl is going around healing anyone and anything she can.”

“Good to know.” I just hope she doesn’t overexert herself.”If you don’t mind me asking, why did you fight a bull?”

“Reasons.” He says in a dry tone. I guess I will leave this be. If he doesn’t want to tell, I won’t pry.

After a few minutes everyone comes back to the mansion and we dine.

The girls are not talking much. I guess they don’t want to accidentally reveal anything they might have thought to me.

After having some fun with myself in the bath I go to my bed and begin to ponder about magic.

I wish I could actually teach something to the girls besides the basics but I have no idea how magic works on a fundamental level and this kind of knowledge is hard to find.

One thing I know for certain is that using magic the way I do is very, very personal. How the spells work are based on how you think they should and how you expect them to. That’s probably why when I try to create electricity it affects me since I have no idea how one would control that type of energy without a conductor. For fire, anything that can burn can be a conductor so it’s easier for me to visualise my control over it. I wonder how much destruction I would have caused by accident at this point if not by the blessing or whatever it is that I received when I tried to create a sun. It didn’t show as a blessing when the priest scanned me, nor as a curse. It probably is just knowledge in my head that I can access when needed but not the type I actually know what I am using, that is why it must have a drawback.

Speaking of the drawnback, I guess my mana going at full speed would be something really bad if I couldn’t control my circulation. Anyone that uses runes in my place would probably be dead right now, either due to pain or lack of mana.

I get myself ready to sleep but I can’t seem to fall asleep. With that my mind begins to wander at random things like how useful mana would have been in my old world. An infinite, renewable source of energy. And even if mana isn't infinite, the rate of replenishement must be really fucking high as monsters use mana as bateries and there are way more monsters than mages in the world. If I had to take a guess, the faith in the gods gives them energy and in exchange they charge the world with mana. Either that or mana is just energy from the universe that flows through here.

Unable to sleep no matter how much I think or change positions I begin to train a little more with my magic string. I am noticing that little by little it is becoming stronger, reaching the level of strength that I have normally. I guess that if you increase its size too much at once, it can’t synchronize with the user immediately. At least the response time doesn’t change, so there is no lag.

I make sure to repeat movements where I change my weapons using the string so that at any moment in a fight I can change between any combination of Mira, Yin and Yang.

And again during the night I feel way too hot for clothes and remove them before continuing with my training.

Morning arrives before I know it. I didn’t sleep a wink and I don’t feel tired. I wonder what is happening. I hope it’s not something to do with my body again. I also don't feel like I need to wear clothes. I know that is not a lack of stimulus. I lost count on how many orgasms a day I have and I don’t think I become unable to sleep if I have too much energy as I was able to sleep like normal before, even on days where I didn’t spend that much energy.

Let’s see if this continues. I dress myself and begin my day like I usually do.
