I need you Tyler, more than you know. 

Tyler looked at Pandora with fear. She stood above him, as light radiated from the goddess. Symbols of ancient glyph glowed dark red and surrounded her. Her eyes were bathe in gold, no longer showing her once human appearance. Scenes of past battles sprawled before her. He could see a tiny figure in the mix hacking and slashing at the legions of barbaric warriors. What confused him was that the girl seemed familiar with her silver hair dancing in air. Then the scene shifted towards a white room with Pandora sitting on a throne. Their was a girl sitting on the floor who had no idea what was happening. She looked helpless and sad as if she's lost everything she's worked for, but anger can also be seen on the girls face.

Sorry for killing you , but I need an adept ruler, Pandora explained with yawn. You had the capacity, so be grateful that you're still alive". The small girl shuddered. She quickly got up and tried to hit the goddess. She was merely held in place by two creatures of myth. Minotaurs they are called with huge muscly red skin, a head of a bull, and huge axe to carry.

I WILL NEVER LET YOU USE ME, The girl shouted aiming to struggle till the end. She was quickly becoming dizzy. The goddess merely smiled. You can try to take revenge, but let me tell you this. Because I took your life, i'll grant you a favor and a power. The favor, or my goodwill, will be that if you managed to reach me and actually harm me I will revive you to your former life. Of course, i'll give you power right now to use. But honestly I can't wait to see how you fare. 

Pandora got up to the girl and grabbed her by the neck. She was chocking, but the goddess had no sense of empathy. 

Now let me tell you why I changed your gender. First of all, it was for amusement. I wanted to see if you can actually fair in a girl's body. Second, I want to see strength come forth from despair. I will tell you now. Before you gain power, you will face many hardships. I will not let up, and until you strengthen the kingdom I will be against you. So good luck, my little princess. I honestly believe that no prayers can help you.

With a sneer, the goddess threw the girl into a gate closing the realm of the gods...

Mikaila woke with a start. Sweat was pouring from her body from the nightmares she saw.

It's been a couple of years now. Who would have thought that same goddess would have become an important benefactor. 

She looked at a mirror which reflected her body. She honestly thought that if it were another girl sitting their, shes her type. Sadly, though that girl is her. With a dejected look, Mikaila quickly dressed herself for the tour. Thinking back at her past, she couldn't believe how peaceful it was now. From the first time she appeared in this world, she was always being attacked. Wolves, wyverns, centaurs, barbaric townsmen, even assassins. She even almost became a slave when she was caught. The many men lusted for her, and her chastity was almost stolen several times.

Can I still go back to the old Tyler...

The girl can only ponder the question.

"Milady, your guest are waiting for you nyah"

A maid had quickly entered the room. Her sudden entry quickly brought Mikaila's attention back to the present. As the maid prepared to serve her. Two screams came from the guest area.

"WHO ARE YOU, WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN ME" (???)

"AHHHHH PLEASE SPARE ME" (???)

Today's going to be a long day. Mikaila thought as she took another glimpsed at the maid. Her name was Maria. She was the head maid of the palace. Furthermore she was a cat beast kin who boasted high combat capacity in battle. Though she looked young and adorable, you shouldn't let that fool you. Though we had maids, they were a bit more special. Each maid uniform consisted of the actual maid outfit, a cuirasse, an arm guard and a rapier to finish it all. In other words, the maids were also elite guards serving the princess. 

No wonder they thought they were going to die.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Mikaila quickly ran to the two guest and quickly explained to them why the maids were dressed for battle. The two quickly apologized for making a racket. Breakfast was then prepared which really overwhelmed the two heroes. From whole cooked eggs, to ham, to rice, to soup, to steak, to chicken, the list was infinite.

"How can breakfast be this grand" 

Sara was wolfing through some briskets that were so soft that they would melt in your mouth.

Reya on the other hand was more reserved, and only ate a bit of everything. A bit. She also took a handkerchief and wiped the food off the face of Sara.

After they finished eating breakfast, the trio then quickly went to the courtyard to prepare for their journey towards the shrine in the nearby village. The two heroes must first be given powers before they can actually partake in the fight. Of course they had to do this manually since it wasn't a game anymore, though the menu screen and stats screen still pop up. Also inventory is stored in an extra dimension just like in the game. 

"This really is still like a fantasy game" Reya said in amazement after Mikaila explained the concept for the fifth time. The two girls were also excited as they finally had the time to look around the palace. The reason they couldn't see it before was because it was late at night when they arrived at the castle. Furthermore the princess had ordered her servants to quickly send them to bed, thus they had no time to sight see.

The two girls were now holding their breaths. The main foyer stood before them. Walls that seemed to reach the sky towered over them. Chandeliers made of gold and crystals illuminated the hallways. To top it off, a line of soldiers were posted at certain intervals holding royal blue banners with an insignia of an angel.

"What do you think about my palace" the princess asked the two.

The two girls could barely answer.

"It's beautiful" Sara commented with happiness

Reya could only nod in agreement. With a proud smile, Mikaila quickly ushered them towards one of the many halls. Each hall was decorated with a carpet that seemed to depict many battles. As the trio walked through, both Reya and Sara could see the grief in the princesses's face as she stared at the scenes. The two thought she must have gone through many hardships. Little did they know that the princess was in grief for those she had lost, and for the restriction placed on her which wouldn't allow her to talk to them as Tyler.

Making the exit, the palace was in full view of the two heroes. Their mouth was wide open as they saw the entirety of the palace. Towers jutted from many points, and grand carvings were etched into the walls. But what mostly amazed them was the fact that the entire palace was carved right out of the mountain.

"impossible" Reya muttered as she kept staring at the palace.

Mikaila laughed, getting the attention of both girls. 

"I remember a certain person telling me the exact same things" With pure eyes, the princess looked to the sky. "He surely must be rolling around in despair if he ever saw this"

The two quickly realized their mistakes. They tried to comfort the princess, but Mikaila simply didn't care. She set out once more with the two heroes in tow. They arrived at the carriage which was pretty overkill in sight. twenty heavily armored knights were in the front, their lances at ready and their horses impatiently stomping the ground. forty footmen were at back, heavily armed with muskets as well as spears and swords.

What have we gotten ourselves into, the two heroes thought simultaneously. The princess got in the carriage and sat in one side.

"come we must go before it gets too late" the princess said with a smile.

The two heroes looked at each other with full conviction.

"For Tyler" Reya exclaimed.

"For Tyler" Sara replied back with extreme confidence.

The two heroes then entered into the carriage, and sallied forth towards the unknown.
