Hey, it's me! Since last time I've been treating Isla like a pet. When she was good, and did what she was told, I gave off a slightly cold demeanor with a bit of kindness. Like you give a dog from time to time, you have a bit of time to play with them, but you don't do whatever they want while your doing homework or normal work. That's a cold and dead part, and you get angry when your dog shits on the rug. So some people may beat the dog, but that doesn't work with a dog, because it's too stupid to understand.

But that isn't true for a human, so... Make sure not to beat too hard, might give PTSD. My best suggestion is a slap of the face or a weak kick on the chest, the type that you fall over from, but you won't actually get any scars. Of course this is a more detailed and barbaric explanation about the carrot and the stick method, I don't have time for psychological warfare right now.

I need her under control before the month is over, otherwise the girl will brainwash her even more brutally than me. It sends chivers through my spine, I need to protect my followers from her. But Isla won't believe the truth, so I must teach her with experience, but to do so I would need her to have at least a bit of resistance to the girl's brainwashing.

Just doing this for a while will reinforce her current ideology, I just have to make sure not to become abusive. I need to make my anger at least seem reasonable to her, otherwise she will make an image of me being an evil person. Being a cold person due to circumstances is what I want to be like in her mind, meaning that I'm not someone that will be unreasonable.

Then maybe after the runaway, I can look like someone molded by circumstances. While what I really am is someone adapting to circumstances, meaning that my ideology is unmoving and completely unable to change, what changes with me is my modus operandi. That's it, that's what sets me apart from the masses.

I actually need to set up a backup for if the girl has started her evil plan, I must save as many people from her evil grasp as possible. But if Isla is taken by her, and I take no procautions, she shall help the girl in her plans of corrupting the youth.

As the greatest and most truely rightious person in the world, I will quarantine the corruption radiating from the manifestation of evil itself.

But first "I must sleep." I haven't been sleeping much with all the things to do, I've been thinking about what evolution I should take for mana weaver.

First all the nodes; Light nodes, reciever nodes, stablization nodes, color nodes, movement nodes, heating nodes, cooling nodes.

Now the options; Mana engineer, newbie darkness controller, darkness contracter, necromancy enthousiast, space squire, illusion neophyte.

Mana engineer, newbie darkness controller, and darkness contracter were A+, the other three were S-.

Why must I sleep? Deais is going to bring me to his place, and I remember that I had a dream everytime I got called to that place.

So I went to sleep, although I did tell Isla not to kill me in my sleep and Erebus to kill Isla if she tried to kill me... Like always. I strangelly felt something pressing up against me, well. It didn't harm me, so I don't care. Actually do, so I asked the framework and Deais if it did anything to my mind, after a long process of testing my mental state and values. I came to the conclusion that nothing was wrong. The test was something I did monthly, you never know what a skill can do.

After a nice rest I woke back up in my inn, I've been living here for a while, though I still have the habit of stabbing into the air with a knife the moment I wake up. There were three other beds in the room, all of them filled with good looking women. One was even laying down with her bra out, another her panties. A totally different one was totally exposed, but I had no reaction except looking at the time.

It was about an hour until I wake them up, so I'll first practice some magic. I stood up and walked out the room without bothering with being quiet, if they wake up there'll be one less person to wake up. I fiddled with the the golden pendant, it was my proof for being a gold rank adventurer. I've plateud on this level for the last 3 years, and it took 1 to get here.

pfft, I still remember how I was a low rank adventurer for 1 year, and I figured out I had tracking magic on me. I paid out my life's savings to get it removed, and I threw away my great reputation as an excuse for me to dissapear from this world. Back then I went solo, 'cause I couldn't buy any other magic. Necromancy is seen as a big taboo, but now that I have my space magics, I joined a party of seven. Making a party of eight, which isn't too high.

Like all humans, adventurers believe in the 'power in numbers' falicy, now a falicy because just one high rank adventurer can slaughter an army.

I walked to a close by training place, my party had rented one for a long period of time. Under my suggestion, I was pretty much the unofficial leader these days. On the way, I saw a girl petting a dog. I thought to myself for a moment 'Yea, I can say that she strangled a dog with this.' The girl noticed me, and said with red cheeks "Don't you dare tell this to others, idiot!" And ran away, but before she could run away "Hahah," I laughed hartily and continued in a quiet tone "You think I'd ever tell other people about you in a favorable light, nieave!"

She was a tsundere, yep. I was pretty excited for about a week, but I snapped. You think a tsundere is cute?! Good for you, but you're a masochist. And me not like abuse, if pointed at me. Even if you are a princess, that won't change that I like being on top! She was the girl that almost killed me when talking to the king.

you wanna know somethin'? Tsuntsun girl sleeps with the other three guys in another because they dare not do shit and the other girls were afraid of her, and I was chosen to replace her because I was someone who would dare to do shit to her. Before we went into a team, she was an annoying little bitch, so I stole everything she owned and left her to die on the street. She got new shit from her father, and some adventurers noticed and felt sympathy.

After a bunch of adventures let her join and fights between me and this group, we chose to have me join the party. They were all newbies so it was easy to take over anyways, I was an experienced adventurer tempered by hardship... Before I came here. this was when they were new golds and I had a year or two as one.

When I entered the tiny training field, I heard someone panting. It was the leader of this group, a pushover. Yep... Loser the dumb. For the first year he was getting used to the language for when the translation spell wore off, the second and third were used to gain the courage to fight. In truth he was poor though, he had gone through many life and death encounters. And me, a bad person that is cowardly, is actually rich as hell and have also gone through a few life and death battles. I'm way stronger than him though, I always use rend claw a lot. I use teleport a bit too, but I have the wormhole spell long since created.

Wormhole folds space so much that you enter the endless stars for a moment to travel to another space, and teleport moves space upwards, then above the postition you want to land at, it can't go through physical spaces. I was proud about it and started to brag about it to him, but he showed no interest at all. How asshole-y of him!

As always, I ignored him, I had already taken over the group long ago. He was the face, I, the mastermind. It was a symbiotic relationship, he makes all kinds of good deeds I can leech off of, and I stop his rampant idiocy from destroying the team by inviting a good looking assasin into the party. She was mauled by an 'evil lich's undead horde'... It was mine of course, the lich and the dumb have been going at it for years now.

You have any idea how hard it is for a skeleton to use magic to transform into a human visage? The visage was me before permanent appearance change btw. So he thinks his fellow hero keeps killing his waifus, but the lich keeps berating him for his idiocy.

Today is the day for a big mission I set up, I need a giant achievement for titanium and beyond. So I lead our team to dangerous and achievement heavy quests, and since Loser is very good as being rocognized as a pushover and is often given many achievement rich quests so I stay with him.

Today we're going to a monster nest, they also gold rank. But a nest is considered a rank higher than the inhabitant's, so after this is done we'll finally become platinum. There'll also be another platinum team, they're going to watch us from a distance.

I wasn't too worried, if it failed, like I said. Wormhole can go through 3 demensional objects, but teleport can't. So I can run away without problem, maybe bring loser the dumb with me too.

I was currently working with a fire bolt, right now I'm trying to put as much heat and power in a single point. Then make it explode on contact, that'd be great. After an hour of that I went back to the room loudly, kicking the door open. I scienced the amount of force I could use to not break it off the hinges, it requires talent "Beep, beep, get your asses up!"

Two woke up grogally, while one was probably awake to make sure I didn't try shit. I wasn't exactly trusted due to my escapades, you never know when I snap. But they were nice and obidient, they still remembered the girl that tried to mess with me in my sleep and got stabbed in the gut. She died of totally unrelated causes caused by me, she was just irrating overall. It's pretty much become an urban legend saying that if you offend you will eventually die.

Everything went well from that moment, we met with the platinum team, we went into the nest and killed a lot of monsters. I even got to level 60, I was thought of as level 52 at this moment. Loser was level 48 right now too. I first took up a skill for the day, one that let me grow in all ways and didn't hinder my path. Space attunement was good, and death attunement was also good but that was already picked up.

It's like a nerfed affinity, but man is it good. So I picked it up, I like to think of myself as someone with all elements at my command with a focus on death and space.

My hand snaped and a rend blade came out, hitting a monster right when it was supposed to. This is my job in the team, making sure people don't die and interupting monsters for others.

But I heard big footsteps, based on experience it was 2 monsters. Over time the footsteps became harder and slowly started to shake the earth below us, unlike me who screamed to run, the others were in tunnel vision and laughed hartily about how they were the hero team. And I started to move closer to Loser and began to make a wormhole.

But I waited for the monsters to come out before I choose to run or not, my positsion in the party would instantly fall into the dirt. When I look, I see a queen and a king, shit. They're fine if we're attacked one at a time, but both, not happening.

After a minute of getting destroyed I opened the wormhole and threw Loser inside it, but it didn't appear. I felt the space mana that interfered with my spell, it originated from the new girl. She made a space stablization zone, it is temperary, but it stopped me from using wormhole, it was an extreme distortion of space. The rest was perfectly usable, I was still a far higher level than her.

So first, I ran at her and broke her legs, with a new spell I got last week. rift fracture, broken legs stopped running and caused syntomes of screaming, until the greatest syntom of getting knocked out. He would show them what happens when you mess with Isaac, the lord of space.

I made a horizontal fracture below my out streched hand, it went into my space artifact's mini world of 1m squared. I controlled the sword inside the enter my open hand, then pulled it out "I will make sure you suffer for your actions girl." I said in annoyance, I'll leave this team if they complain about me hiding my power.

The king rushed over towords me without bothering with roars or anything else after hearing the queen's growl, it was a simp "Filth like you doesn't deserve their life."

Now, waking up in a nice room again, yay! I knew what evolution I wanted, the mana engineer skill would be good, but there were two new skills too choose from, fire instigator, and space shepard. Both were good, space shepard was a full S class skill. I probably have another soul or two a part of me now, and that soul was damaged when I entered. That's what I thought back then, but I was wrong.

Also mana egineer seemed to upgrade to mana architect, becoming a S- skill. I wasn't that displeased, I guess that other space squire is inferior to space shepard, I am really tempted, probably from that unbelieveable space compression from that previous dream, and that it would probably upgrade to space augur or something. And that's really good for propoganda in being a spiritual leader, that'd be good in my relations with the church. As long as you have a skill to do with gods and it isn't a darkness skill, you will be treated like a VIP.

When I looked at my body again, it had changed again. hmmm. Seems like the dream decides my form in this place. I leaped forward and readied my sword with space mana, and slashed.

When I looked up I saw two other people infront of me, huh, that's different I guess. Interesting...
