We decided not to name the fox until we are in a safe place, since I have no idea how much time it will take for the fox to evolve. I checked out the fox with my inspect but only came up with this.

shadow fire fox

????not able to determine information other than

it's race

I decided there was no use dwelling on it, while we were walking the fox would always get onto my head after it did this it would be like a unmovable statue it didn’t matter how much I moved it wouldn’t get off. After a few minutes of tug-a-war with nails digging into my head we decided to leave the fox but so help me this wasn’t over but I had bigger problems to deal with, “system” Explain the curse I have to me, and what is the difference between leveling a skill up and mastering it?

the curse results in half of your unused stat and skill points

being taken away also being hated by the followers of the god

skill mastery is based on experience and leveling is

based on power if you have both the skill is almost stoppable

As i dismissed the notifications May was staring at me.

So um grim, why did you do all that from before for me?(May)

It’s simple, I have seen too many people die in my life but since I came here it has only been about surviving, if you meet the others you can tell they don’t know how to kill or fight they just use their abilities to do meaningless things. The blade you are carrying is special there are only twelve weapons that have ever been made with that metal. The weapon and me are the same we are both unique, one is feared, the other is wanted tell me which am I and which is the knife?(me)

Wait is that why you are out here alone to keep your people from venturing out?(May)

Well that’s one reason the second one is that if I stayed I would do something I would regret, you see were we come from it is divided into two groups the people that fight to survive and the people who don’t fight two sides of the same coin really.(me)

So there is no conflict with other races it’s all together as a huge city?(May)

Well no the only thing that is intelligent where we come from are humans the rest are animals. We also have more cities a lot more instead of races we have to deal with different countries.(me)

Wow that sounds scary a entire region of only humans.(May)

Hahahaha well it was peaceful for the most part well to the normal people at least once in a while another country would threaten to bomb their neighbors or enemies just think of it a weapon that can while out entire cities in a blink of an eye.(me)

Is there a chance they would use it here?(May)

Relax the place I am talking about is on another planet entirely besides they can’t transport things here the technology isn’t there yet. where I come from we don’t have magic we use our brains and the things scattered around to create things the downside is we are killing our planet. We need resources to create and the planet has been providing for hundreds of years it will break soon that’s what happens when someone destroys the balance of things.(me)

So where do you fit in?(May)

Like I said before I am the reaper a killer that can’t be stopped I kill to survive I use to be a trained dog I would follow commands without protest and a lot of lives were taken of course they tried to kill me to.(me)

But you don’t act like a killer the only time you killed someone was when you were protecting me.(May)

Ya that’s because I made a promise to my last target the only person I truly ever loved I killed might as well tell you now so you get what kind of person I am.(me)

The fox jumped off of my head and onto Mays I didn’t say anything I just kept walking since the fox jumped on May’s head, May has been giving me a really strange look. If I could I would have kept that a secret but well she will find out soon enough. After walking a while we finally found the entrance to the dungeon. The door was made from stone, and looked really old, both the bottom and top was covered in moss.

I cut away the moss that was holding the door shut then started pushing even with my full strength the door was barely moving, after ten minutes of doing this for ten minutes straight I finally got the door open enough for us to enter. Once in the door shut behind us and the torches on the walls lit up. As we were walking I gathered all the gear from the dead corpses, I didn’t even bother with checking it since I knew I wasn’t safe here.

May could feel it to we were being watched by someone or something, we walked for about an hour and still no signs of life, wait a minute.

MAY STOP!(me)

May froze at my words and I pulled her back to me.

I don’t think this is the passage I think we got eaten by something.(me)

How do you know?(May)

Well first of all there are no monsters in here and second of all the smell of the stomach acid is overwhelming here watch.(me)

I walked over to the wall and stabbed it with my knife instead of having my knife rub against the wall it went through the wall started to bleed purple blood and the floors started to move, with the sounds of a monsters screams. The illusion ended and the whole room became a giant meat room I knew it was an illusion but really why did it have to be a monsters stomach, I grab May and the fox then run towards a opening back down where we came from.

Once out I quickly turned to see what was trying to eat us turns out it was a giant worm it looked like it couldn’t move because it was so big so it’s completely helpless without it’s illusions well might as well clear the path. I used my pyrokinesis and burned the worm away, however what surprised me was a few seconds after it died it became dust. I walked up to the black dust pile and saw something shine in it. Let’s what we got, once I cleared the dust away I saw a scroll and some coins I decided to use identify on them and the results were shocking.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

skill scrollthis scroll will give you a skill

dungeon coinsif you collect enough and not die on the way

you can earn items with these

What was with that statement if I live come on at least give me some support I have lasted this long haven’t I! I sigh then pick up the scroll once I opened it I got a new notification.

learned skill camouflagethis ability hides you from enemies

be aware this only effects enemies sight

Well least I got a useful, after putting the coins in my inventory we continued, since we escaped the worm May has been clinging to me but I ignored her if I got distracted just before a attack well I would probably lose my head. As we walked I started to hear footsteps ahead as we continued I started to hear more and more which really didn’t go well with me I warned May and got ready only to find the entire corridor was full of skeletons some red, the others were white, but both had good equipment I should get it after we kill them might be worth something. I was the first to move charging in my knife engulfed in holy fire from my pyrokinesis.

After the fifth May jumped in followed by the fox. We tore through the skeletons like they were nothing, May wasn’t strong but she was fast and with the knife she was dangerous. The little fox stayed on May’s head burning any skeletons that got too close they were quite the team if I do say so myself once the dust cleared we finally killed every skeleton that was blocking our way and with a few notifications at that.

gained 5x levels and earned 250 points

earned titles holy champion, unholy slayerunholy slayer-when killing things unholy gains better

drops in dungeons and easier to kill opponentholy champion- able to use light magic more effectively

able to use holy weapons and 80% resistance to dark magic

Alright now lets get the gear and drops, after collecting everything useful I brought up my inventory.

28x steel sword15x bronze swords3x steel axes2x bows120x steel arrows20x poison arrows70x heart plums1x purple root1x blood ivy2,000x dungeon coins30x steel armor15x leather armor15x bronze coins14x silver coins16x small gold coins12x medium gold coins5x large gold coins2x skill scrolls

In all it was rather good to fight all those skeletons, May and the fox were exhausted and so was I. We couldn’t stop yet so I decided to help the other two out, I used lesser heal to recover their stamina once I was done we moved on once in a while we would find the remaining skeleton groups but it was easy to take care of after a few hours I got a notification that almost made me cry.

you have entered a safe zone this area

will not allow anything with harmful intent come in

Thank the gods!

Alright this should be good let’s take a break.(me)

Everyone took this chance to catch their breaths, I passed out heart plums to everyone then sat in front of May and the fox.

Well since we are in a safe zone might as well name you.(me)

The fox jumped off of Mays head and sat in front of me thrashing its tail rapidly.

Well I am not good with names but I will give you the name of the strongest person I knew Mai Lee, will you accept this name?(me)

The fox nodded and it started to glow a black light.

black fire fox is evolving< black fire beastkinthis is a new species that has never been seen

before because no one has been strong enough to

get a black fire fox to evolve

Once the light disappeared there stood a girl with long black hair, her eyes were an iris purple, her well shaped bady covered by her hands and tail.

Um can I get something to where?(Mai)

I quickly went back to my normal self and pulled some leather armor out she cut a whole in the back for her tail with her claw and once dressed she looked like a Amazon with fox ears and tail from the wonder woman comics. Well since that is done might as well continue. As we did I heard the girls talking about me.

If you have something to say, say it.(me)

Well actually Mai does.(May)

Well I have to tell you this before we go on any further since I began traveling with you I have also been trying to find out how you became so strong no human could kill a group of void goblins and no human could evolve me.(Mai)

What are you saying?(me)

While I was traveling on you I looked at some of your memories not all of them just enough of them to see how you became so strong.(Mai)

I clinched my fist together and turned to her trying to keep my emotions in check.

You have no right to do that make sure you never speak of them if you do you will regret it understand me?(me)

Both May and Mai were surprised by my reaction but agreed. After our little promise we continued again killing everything in our path, when I say our I mean me I needed something to relief my anger. After about two hours of walking we came up to a black door reading TREASURE ROOM. This over made me feel overjoyed I pressed my hands on it then pushed it open light blinded me and I saw.
