Saladin's POV
This familiar feeling is really common to me and I knew it that I'm in a dream but this is something really different.
I was in some kind of white room with nothing but plain whiteness including the ceiling.
There was a person sitting down in the floor and when I looked carefully...., I knew it was me.
He then told me
"This might be the first time we met in person and so I look forward to our conversation, Master." - the person
I was kind of freaking out a bit as this was my first time to hear myself clearly unless you are talking about my inner voice.
I then replied
"Are you me... and where are am I?" - Me
He then chuckled as he stood up and walk towards me.
His form then changed and became the appearance of Yin which startled me but I felt relieve as I thought that he was myself for a moment.
But he or she is nothing but a shape shifting person.
That person then replied
"I'm not, you are my master as I'm basically not even a living person but a physical form of the ring you bear. To your question about where are we, then I can answer that you are inside the ring."
It was confusing me as to how would a ring speak to me while I'm inside him.
"Do you have a name or should I just call you 'Ring'?" - Me
He or she then started touching my body by feeling my stomach till my neck which made me blushed as to how he or she is in the form of a woman.
The individual then whispered into my ear
"You can call me what ever you like Master~, but I prefer you call me just 'Ring'" - Ring
I tried resisting from her temptation of arousing me but she has a strong firm on me.
Ring then said to me
"You're quite cute for a boy, no wonder those girls follow you around. It's a shame that I don't have feelings but can only copy what I see thought I don't know what they meant" - Ring
Her form then changed to someone that I wished I have forgotten...
Black spiky hair with white strands in some places, a face meant for a long experienced warrior and the eyes of the abyss. Yes that person is my father.
My hatred for him is still great even if I know that he really isn't the real thing.
I can feel my blood pumping as if I want to kill him right now and never see that despicable face of his.
Ring then told me
"You must really hate your father as the aura your emitting can make a grown man piss his pants." - Ring
I then told that person
"Change your form or else you'll regret it." - Me
That person then sighed and then changed his form to myself again.
"Happy?" - Ring
The anger in me vanished and then I replied 'Yes' to him.
He then told me
"Well we don't have much time left until you wake up again and so let me get to the point as to why you are here right now." - Ring
I nodded to what he said.
"Well basically, I'm going to teach you on how to use me properly as in me, I mean your ring. There are four things and more you should know. The first thing being that you can only meet me when your unconscious. The second thing is that I have no gender, just in case you go for me as I know your the polygamy type-"
When he said I'm the polygamy type, it made quite flustered.
"Third thing is that some of your personality is kept in me before and because of that, I have some of your perverted senses but don't worry as mistress Vearli has prevented you from losing anymore of yourself to me. Lastly, in this place you can trade all sort of things while using the souls you gathered as currency here" - Ring
Authors notes:- Totally not a dark soul copy...
I was thinking deeply as to what he said while I feel quite relieved that I'll not lose myself anymore to him but what does he meant with soul trading? and how does he know Vearli?
"You know I can read your mind right?" - Ring
This startled me when he said that as I become dumbfounded while I look at him.
He then continued
"So you asked as to what about soul as currency and trading right?, well it is simple as you can trade for example your strength for something else like flying or breathing fire. The souls you gather can be traded with me so that you can gain unknown spells or random powerful scrolls which can be bad or good, just depending on your luck. And as for mistress Vearli, she is the one who gave you me and so of course I know her." - Ring
Breath fire?! and able to fly!, what joyful things I could do except... I have to trade in my above average strength.
If I recall correctly, I think I have not a single soul....
"Your right master but you have one spirit stone and that is of a Krispeen which is gained after you defeated that girl called Qino" - Ring
Authors notes :- Krispeen is the name of a creature which is similar to a lizard except it has an exoskeleton of a crab covered in scales that is harder than iron. It can extend its tongue up 4 meter while having the property of its tail being able to grow spikes when dangered. The creature is considered rank 'F+' by the adventurer's guild. Its name comes from the word queen as it has only female genes on them while when it mates, it looks for other species to do so. Its called Krispeen due to the person who found it was called Krispervon and so he named it Krisp-queen = Krispeen.
"What do you mean by spirit stone and why can it be absorbed as I thought only dark gems and souls are the only ones?" - Me
He then replied
"Spirit stone my master is a term considered to be something that manifested from a person who ascended and evolve by eating the raw flesh of a creature. It is really hard to cultivate but by the help of me, it would be easy as squeezing lime. As you can tell from its name already, its a stone that contains the remaining spirit of the creature which has been enhanced by the constant use of the person wielding its power. You're in luck as I can merge this stone with any container or weapon you find which so I can turn that weapon with the properties and power of the creature inside the stone permanently." - Ring
All I can do was awe as to what he said, not only can I obtain spirit stones but I can also merge them with weapons I like and create powerful weapons.
"Yeah, I know it pretty cool but your time is running short and so don't worry as I'll forge the stone you have so that it can fit any weapon you like but I have one last thing to say to you." - Ring
"And what is that?" - Me
"Do you know why are you chosen to wear me?, as I'm not allowed to be worn by anyone except certain races with a strong faith." - Ring
"I really don't have a clue as to why I'm chosen..." - Me
"You should be proud as your Dwarmura blood(Demon White Elf Race) is strong in you and so you are able to wield me while don't ever forget that you're one of the keys to change this forsaken slave driven world." - Ring
Before I could ask any question to what he said, I woke up.
My head wasn't feeling dizzy like before but instead quite freshened, maybe it is due to my questions inside my head has been mostly solved by that person but there is still this one question... as to why am I the one to stop the war while changing this world.
Sure I know that there is unfairness in wealth between social classes, poverty in rural towns, slaves being held like items or animals, marriage forced upon people, rape and kidnaps are a common case while not even forgetting the act of discrimination between different races but how can I change those things by myself?!
Well its best... to not think much about it... as my head ache is returning already...
I felt someone hugging me and when I looked to my left, I saw Kioni sleeping while hugging my arm and placing it between her large... breasts.
Its already a blessing that a 16 year old girl like her can have a size like that but why does she have to use my arm...
I could feel the hot blood in my face as I try move away my arm from her clutches.
On my right was Sherah who is currently hugging my body while sleeping, though she doesn't have the same size like Kioni, I can still feel it rubbing against my torso...
After some time, I finally gotten out from that predicament and stood up on the cold icy marble floor.
It was so cold that it made me sneeze twice which then I cursed the coldness as I really hate the damn chill in the air.
I could hear a chuckle as I stomp the ground which came from Qino.
She was on the couch wrapped in blanket while having a white fuzzy bed hair as she rubs her eyes.
Qino then told me
"You really hate cold, do you?" - Qino
I then replied back while making a smile
"Not as much as you do which I can tell from last night shiver of yours." - Me
I can see some redness appear on her cheeks as she says
"Thank you.. again for last night, though you should not be that kind to your slave." - Qino
I came close to her and gave a thump on her forehead as I tell her
"Don't ever say that your my slave, I hate hearing that word and please think of yourself as my maid or friend instead." - Me
As she rubs her forehead while pouting a little from the pain, she then replied back to me
"Well I guess so then." - Qino
*****After a while*****
Before I prepared food for the individuals in this room, I made my daily routine in the bathroom which Qino did after me.
Since I have only one arm until now, I made use of Qino as she has the talent for making food which may have surpass me.
Right now she is making the porridge while I cook fried eggs.
Kioni and Sherah has already awoken and they are currently cleaning the bed.
Both of them looked refreshed as if this was their first time sleeping comfortably in a while which I can't blame them as I have a nice time in bed due to its fluffiness, not Kioni's breast.
While I was frying, Qino asked me
"Say master, who do you think is more cute between Kioni or Sherah? and don't say 'both' to me." - Qino
I replied back
"You of course." - Me
She almost dropped the porridge she is carrying due to how I surprised her with me answer.
Qino then uttered while being flustered
"Ar-ar-are you cheating on your girlfriends?!, w-well sorry but I'm not interested in humans except my own race." - Qino
I just laughed slightly from the way she acted and then I said
"I'm not cheating on them as I think they all have there special traits like your cute, Sherah is beautiful and Kioni is hot." - Me
As she makes her way out the kitchen, she told me
"Well, don't even think of wooing me as I am not one bit interested in having that sort of relationship with you." - Qino
That kind of hurts but I should really stop teasing my maid...
Anyhow, after I ate breakfast with the girls and changed into my proper get up, I decided to stroll the castle while the girls remain in the room.
My white shirt and dark blue short pants where really all I can find good in the closet but I didn't really care.
I made sure that I'm wielding a sword which if you don't know, I'm currently using the sword which Qino used before and that is the ancient like bronze broken sword which has a ridiculous sharpness.

Vlon the guard, followed me as I stroll the castle which kind of made me regret the decision of checking the place out due to his glare which shows annoyance but I didn't mind for now.
I asked as to where do they usually train and would like to go there, he accepted my needing after making a sigh.
As time passed while I walk through this fancy castle and saw all sorts of priceless architecture, I finally reached the large training ground which contains many soldiers sparring with another.
I was amazed as I look at the glass rooftop that shined light upon the whole area.
The walls are similar to a normal castle but the animal carvings on it were really beautiful.
Some of the guards stopped on what their doing to look at me and one of them approached who might be the instructor from the look of his get up being different than others.
He is wearing a leathered tunic with shoulder guards that paired with his brown pants.
His age could be around similar to Vlon while his face has a large scar on it which reaches from his bald head until the chin.
The person eyes were black in color and I notice that when they are in battle form, they would turn their eyes into golden color.
Vlon then told me to give my most utter respect towards him as he says that person is the royal trainer.
The royal trainer first surveyed me until he says
"I'll not question as to why you are here but I can tell that you have a good built body though your missing an arm but I think it needs more training, and so maybe that is the reason you came here?"
I then replied
"Not really, but yeah I'll try some of your training if I'm allowed to that is." - Me
"Hoho, don't worry as everyone is allowed to train and I'm sorry to introduce myself first, as my name is Ikejurald" - Ikejurald
"Then may you test my capabilities?" - Me
"No problem as long as you intrigue me" - Ikejurald
After some time, me and the instructor went in the middle of the room and were going to fight as many of the soldiers watch us.
Some were spouting as to why a human is here as they watch me with an annoyed look.
Ikejurald pulled out his blade which was a finely made cutlass if I presume by the looks.
I then took out my bronze sword which made a lot of people whisper while some mock my sword.
Though this didn't make the instructor fazed at all which surprised me as I can just say that he is someone to not mess with.
He was waiting for me to attack as I watch his feet closely while I made a stance which Merdrek thought me as it has no openings.
The instructor was amazed by my stance as I show only half of my body while block all areas with my sword.
His eyes then turned golden which made me flinch and before I knew it, he was beside me.
He then swung his blade horizontally but I blocked it with my sword in time which I can thank Nyorin as to how much we trained together.
If only I had my right arm then I could have grabbed his collar and flip him... but I have to make due with my left arm.
Ikejurald then says after I blocked his other swing my sword
"Not bad for someone with only an arm." - Ikejurald
I then moved my body in a way where I can go behind him which Merdrek thought me as it helps finding weakness easily.
But I was stopped, due to him stepping on my feet which broke my stance.
I tried to swing my sword once again in a horizontal way which he blocked with his weapon but I noticed the slight crack appearing on his blade.
He was astonished from my sword sharpness even though it looks in a terrible state.
Ikejurald backed away from me which I can say is the smartest move as he can rethink about my weapon sharpness again.
Good think I memorized the way he moves with his blade which I gotta say, it has no weakness at all as if every strike he does, shows me the real difference between us.
I didn't want him to think much and so I charged in a zig zag manner to him while lunging my sword and keeping my momentum steady.
If you have forgotten, this is the same move that Nyorin did to me before which I can never forget.
The captain was shocked by the way I move which then he prepared his sword in a defensive position, though it was quite futile due to how I prepared my leg power to spring me behind him as quick as possible.
I then was going to swing my sword but surprisingly he deflected it by rotating himself to face me.
I already knew that my sword would not hit him and I moved to the ground then kicked his leg as hard as possible but it didn't stagger him at all which instead I felt the pain due to how I felt like hitting iron.
He then was going to stab me while I'm in the ground but I rolled away though I still gotten a scratch on my shoulder.
I'm not as good as before due to how I'm not used to having only one arm.
I then got up and enhanced my blade into a blue fiery flame which caused some of the soldiers to startle and become surprised slightly.
Though this didn't make Ikejurald surprised at all as he charged towards me while scrapping his blade on the ground which caused some sparks to appear.
The strike to my sword was powerful which almost felt like I'm going to be pushed away if it weren't for my strength, his sword was locked with mine as the blue fire causes his blade to slowly melt.
I was gritting my teeth as to how strong he is as we continue to try to slash each other away but our sword intertwining was the only thing stopping us.
His cutlass was melting slowly but then I noticed his blade being engulfed in water like hue then materialized into a blue liquid which caused my fire enhancement to disperse to nothing immediately.
I was shocked while being puzzled as to what happened and so I decided to back away but when I actually did, I heard him say
"No more play time." - Ikejurald
Before I knew it, his blade was beside my neck and at that moment I knew that I lost.
Authors notes:- Sword in martial arts is a meaning meant when it is strong with thrust attacks and slightly for slash but for blades, they are meant only for slashing.
I dropped my sword and admitted my defeat which then he sheathed his blade.
Some of the soldiers surprisingly clapped while some even complimented that it was a good fight which was quite shocking as they were mocking me not so long before.
Ikejurald then showed his hand which then I shook it while I tell him that it was good battle.
He replied stating the same thing, then he said
"You really need to know the basics of enhancement is what I can tell and I noticed that you used one similar moves to our lady Nyorin." - Ikejurald
"Yes she is a friend of mine." - Me
"No wonder your allowed in this castle even though you have blood of those wretched sly elves." - Ikejurald
'Maybe that's the reason why people are looking at me with annoyance.' - My thoughts
The soldiers who were watching us continued training and minding their own business now.
"So what do you mean by basics of enhancement?" - Me
"I mean to say that, you have really weak knowledge to it as I notice that you kept your fire enhancement up even though I showed clearly that my blade is being engulfed in water and at that moment I knew you were still a beginner. But don't worry as you are somewhat around a 'E-' warrior if you take their exam which is not bad for someone who has no arm and not much knowledge on enhancement." - Ikejurald
"Are there really many sorts of enhancement?" - Me
"Of course, there are loads like I can list a lot which has different properties." - Ikejurald
He then continued by lecturing me information which I should know for a long time but only now I knew..
Basically there are six basic elements which are Fotia(Fire), Nero(Water), Astrapi(Lightning), Skotadi(Darkness), Elafris(Light) and Ghi(Earth).
Sub elements are there also which involve Molten, Ice, Mud and other things.
Each one can be enhanced on a material which causes different properties depending on which element.
Lightning causes any armor or blade it touches to make them have similar properties but the wielder will be shocked to death.
Fire which I use a lot can melt while burn any skin it touches which doesn't harm the owner while not being able to make other things to not be on fire.
Water is used to enhance the sharpness of the weapon while causing an extension to the blade.
Darkness is little to be known but he said that it contains a lot of mysterious properties which can cause mass murder.
Light is something that can pierce through magic barriers and remove any binding spell which you can just say an anti element.
Earth, now this intrigues me the most as it can increase the durability of any weapon to the highest while decreasing the sharpness greatly which you can also tamper with its weight. why does this intrigue me you say?, well just think as to what happens if I enchant this already sharp blade which looks like is going to break any second with earth?
Now then lets continue to their weakness with each one:
Fire can be extinguished if met with Water enhancement.
Lighting can destroy the water enhancement.
Light is good against Darkness.
Earth is best option against all of them.
Fire is equal to Lightning.
Lightning is really useless when it faces Earth.
There are four stages in each one while there are mixtures in each element which is complicated but I'll tell it anyway.
Fire stages: 1) Red: Can burn and melt. 2)Blue: Able to transfer the fire and increases temperature. 3) Violet: Doubles the temperature and can change the form of the fire. 4) White: Highest possible temperature while having loads of possibilities which I still don't know nor does Ikejurald.
Water stages: 1) Light blue: Enhances blade sharpness and increases blade diameter in form. 2) Blue: Much more sharper and can freely extent the blade in any manner. Other stages of water is still unknown till know.
Too bad that Ikejurald doesn't know most of the stages for elements except fire and water.
And even if he told me, I'm pretty sure that I'll not memorize it entirely.
At least I know what happens when the flame becomes blue now... but I really want to have the earth element enhancement.
Ikejurald then told me
"You have good reflexes but I don't you can do anything if one of my soldiers goes serious as your head maybe gone already by the time you blink." - Ikejurald
...That kind of scares me now as I'm basically in a ferocious animal den with nothing but a stick.
"So what are you expecting me to do in that situation." - Me
'You must gain the ability to sense danger which you have but its at a weak form right now." - Ikejurald
"You can teach me it?" - Me
"Since you entertained me with a good match and your my lady's friend, why not?" - Ikejurald
'When I meet you again Nyorin, I'll give you my honest thanks!' - My thoughts
Well it looks like I'm going to train again with another instructor which I think it will be hellish like usual...
