Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy back at it again with another chapter.
The chapter may look short but it has 3,2k words. Biggest one thus far i think.
Feels good to just write what comes to you mind like this and not think to much about the details tbh.
I mean there's pretty much no panning or anything on how i write this it's just so relaxing.
I should write stories like this more often~ Gets done fast as well so you don't spend 2 hours on writing one chapter.
Anyway, please share your thoughts on what you think about it so far.
It helps <3
Also point out if something is not clear or if there are any large typos as my chapters are not Edited or Proofread.
Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigh... This is what happens when i get to like something.. I can't have my share of fun..
You see, if i didn't take a liking to these people that fight would've been much more fun.
I could've gone all out, unleash my full potential. But at least i got a glimpse of where is stand power wise.
Golden Immortal. Not bad i guess. She's only a Lesser thought but i doubt i can beat a High one because they would have way more divine power.
Let's not even talk about Gods. Those assholes are made from divine energy itself...
Makes me so mad. We pretty much had a brawl, nothing more, nothing less.
No soul power was used and mostly i didn't even get to see her Demon form.
I need to find a bigger playground.. But first i guess i have to take the owners out first.
How do i even explain this stuff to them now... And Tilo? Tilo is glued to me now.. He's sitting one inch away from me. Looking at me as if he's proud of me.. What the hell...
What can i say when he owns a Lesser element of my main. He probably wants to know if he can get it too. Or at least how to upgrade his. This will be a long ass talk, but not now.
Sitting in the meeting room are me, Teresa, Melina, Tesha and Tilo who is as i said, glued to me. He brought his chair over to me and sits right next me...
-Tesha: So? What did you wanna talk about? Ohh and what about sides? Did you decide anything from that little fight of ours?-
I completely forgot about that to be honest...
Like i said before, i like my status of being neutral.
I don't wanna be stuck between two hard rocks, so why not watch the rocks hit each other while having some fun?
But still, taking sides with the Demons might be a wise choice, the elves are going to form a alliance with the demons soon so why not just play it safe?
The elves are probably going to like me since i have the nature element ( of course they will like me, who doesn't like me?) and i THINK most of the demons won't have any problems with me as long as i don't cause any trouble..
But that's the problem... I don't seek trouble but instead trouble seeks me. Or at least that's how i would like to say it. Always wanted to.
-Mike: Let's first get the small questions out of the way before getting to the big ones. About the side taking, i've decided to take sides with you guys i guess. BUT, only YOU guys. And with that i mean this Kingdom. No one else. Now anything else you would like to ask before i start explaining some more complicated stuff?-
Everyone raises their hands... Fuck me.. Why did i say that..
Whom do i choose... GOOOOOOoooooooo TILO!
-Mike: Yes, Tilo.-
He pulls his hand down and puffs his chest. This guy... He reminds me of one of those main characters from FotNS. I'm afraid he will touch me and my head will explode...
-Tilo: How does one upgrade from the sub element shadow to the main element darkness!-
I knew it! SKIP!
-Mike: Tell you bout it later, next! Melina.-
Tilo nods his head and shadows out... He's standing in the corner again.. Does that guy hate sitting? Or is there a gym in the shadows and that's why he's so buff?
Melina's eyes start to sparkle as she stands up from her chair and walks over to me.
I sense trouble. See, i told you. Trouble comes to me.
-Melina: Finally, now that you sided with US, i would like you to help me with something.-
That's not even a question she just took the chance now that things have finally calmed out...
Might as well hear it out.
-Mike: With what?-
-Tesha: Melina, are you sure? You do know that they have 2 Golden Immortals that are higher ranked then me. I already told you that i would figure this out somehow, no need to risk him for it.-
I haven't even agreed... In fact i haven't even heard what she wants..
And 2 Golden Immortals that are higher ranked then her? Interesting.
-Mike: Lemme hear it, i might be able to do something at least.-
Even if it is to take 2 High Golden Immortals i don't mind.
I mean hey, i have tons of poisons that can probably kill or at least weaken them.
I've been trying to come up with a poison to kill Gods for ages now... I swear i will get rid of that cunt that kicked me of his planet for ruining his flower garden.. I swear one way or another.
Some might think that poison is dishonorable, but hey! You lose nothing if no one sees you doing it, right?
-Melina: There's this Kingdom that has been trying to force marriage onto me... With on-
-Mike: DEAL! I'll help you, you'll be giving me the location and information later.-
She looks starteld for a moment and speaks up.
-Melina: They have 2 Golden Immortals, are you sure?-
.Mike: No worries, i mean you have your rights. we can't allow them to be taken away. So no worries .-
NO ONE. And i mean NO one is taking my prey. They dare?
" Strokes his imaginary long white beard "
They dare offend this grandfather?
-Melina: Mike? What're you doing?-
-Mike: Don't mind me, go back to your seat, i'll visit you tonight and talk about this. If i can't beat them i'm sure i can negotiate with them with some of my artifacts so yea. Just take it easy now i guess.-
Yea, with some of my artifacts. I have some great ones from earth. A couple of nuclear bombs. Some GIFTS from Gods because i saved their planets for.
Let's see if their shields or barriers can protect them from that~ No one messes with this bad boy over here.
-Tesha: Mike...-
-Mike: What?-
-Tesha: The aura around you.. It's strange...-
Beh, get over it. Can't contain myself with stuff like this.
-Mike: Just thinking how the map would look with one kingdom less, no worries. Anyway, next question. Teresa.-
They all look at me weirdly... Is there something wrong with what i said?
It might sound casual and it is, to me at least. Like i said, i've destroyed kingdoms before. I don't mind.
No need to hide it. Ohh... Demons, right. I just said i would destroy an entire kingdom of their own kin.
-Mike: Would you guys have a problem if i did destroy it for real?-
-Teresa: The Lundia Kingdom has been treating us like this ever since mother died, after Melina's parents died it became worse and i can't do much. Their ancestor is much stronger then me and Tesha can't do much either against 2 Golden Immortals so 3 years ago when the King and Queen died they started going for Melina. Termin is not of much help but he has been trying his best. Their Kingdom is the corruption of the Demon Continent. If you are able to take it out somehow or at least take out the people backing it you would do many people a big favor.-
I see. So that basically translates to " You can go ham, we don't mind ".
Sweet. They're basically like the cancer of the Demon Continent.
-Teresa: Anyway, what i wanted to ask is if you know how to break curses.-
Curses and barriers/shields are kind of my specialty.
-Mike: Know thing or two about them, why?-
-Teresa: It's about Termin... He has a very strong curse on him which prevents him from gaining more power. I thought maybe you should check it out. That's one of the reasons Tesha went on the trip in the first place, to find a curse breaker.-
Interesting. But i sensed no curse on him...
That's also the reason why he's so weak compared to Melina i guess.
The thing on Termin is no curse, I'm 100% sure bout that.
If you study/learn curses then of course you will know how to sense them as well.
Even if the curse is way above me i SHOULD be able to sense it, I doubt a High God that is a master of curses came down and put a curse on him.
-Mike: The curse you speak of does not exist so you should drop searching for a breaker. The thing that he has on him is something else. I don't know, it might be through blood from older generations, he might have eaten something that prevents him from sucking in mana or he might be one of those special cases that need some special medicine to continue on. You guys are lucky that you've found the right guy.-
I did side with them i guess, might as well help them with their problems.
-Teresa: How can you be so sure?-
-Mike: Trust me, oke? Anyway just know that you can drop the search, no need to waste more resources. And finally Tesha.-
So much for the questioning. No one asked anything about the great me... And i doubt she will either..
-Tesha: So now that i serve you i would like to ask you if you like this outfit or do you maybe have something else in mind?-
BLESS YOU! Forget about me why can't they all ask questions like these?
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
-Mike: Come to my room with Melina tonight! I have something for you. Something real good. Ohh and do i get to choose what you ware underneath as well or just the outfit?-
-Tesha: I wouldn't mind~
Perfect.
-Mike: Now then, onto me. I want a room that's much closer to the bathroom, so make it happen. I also want full access to the currency you guys use that this kingdom has. Now onto the thing i wanted to talk about. As you can see i can use more then one element. Now using 2 elements is kinda rare. Using 3 elements is known to be even more rare, but using 4 elements is something that only Gods can have. Even they can't use 5 or more unless they're True Gods or above. As for me i can pretty much use all the elements. My main elements are Darkness and Light. Which are the 2 most Divine elements. But the thing is i'm waaaaay better in Darkness then Light so yea... It's almost like Darkness itself loves me. The energy you saw outside is pretty much pure darkness itself. That's how much i've understood the element. That i can take on a Dark Form. So now you pretty much have a Golden immortal, a Lesser Immortal mage and a guy that's Middle Immortal Mage/ Lesser Immortal Warrior and that has a understanding of darkness which even he does not know how far he has reached. That's the main reason why i didn't want to continue the fight as much as i would love to.
As you know the Stage of Immortal does not really make you "IMMORTAL". The lesser stage grants you 100 more years of life. The middle stage 500 and the High stage 1000. Only when you gain divinity do you gain "Real" Immortality. You stop aging and you pretty much remain the same as always. There is no limit on how much you can live once you reach that stage. Now the reason i brought this topic up is mostly because i want to say that the aging thing does not affect me. As you know even though one reaches the Immortal Stage one still shows sighs on aging but as you can see on me i have none. I'm 148 years old. The moment i reached the so called " Elemental unlocking" i gained this. I think it's mostly due to the understanding of darkness that i have.
Now what i would to know is, are there any Gods of Darkness on this world?-
They all look at me strangely. Even Tilo looks confused.
Was my explanation to long maybe? Maybe i should've just cut it to the " Are there any Gods of Darkness on this planet? "
Only Tesha and Teresa know what i'm taking about anyway...
I've never meet any Gods that reached Godhood purely on the elements of Darkness or Light.
I want to know how far i've come.. The old fart.. I should stop calling him that.
The High God that i meet in the past that gave me my mana cultivating technique said you will find out when the time is right...
He taught me how to control and use some of the elements but never Darkness and Light.
He taught me how to fight and defend and pretty much everything i know bout combat.
After that he simply left. He just said " My job here is done, you're on your own now " and left.
The only thing he told me about the element of Darkness is that mine has reached far and that i will need to fill in the void from time to time.
And with that he pretty much meant kill from time to time. The longer your element reaches the larger your soul becomes and when the element is growing to fast and your soul is not getting stronger fast enough you need something to make up for that.
That's why i'm in search of Darkness type of Gods. I need to figure this shit out.
I've tried to convince myself that this is not the reason i have no dreams but deep down i know that it is...
-Mike: Sooooooo, answers?-
Tesha and Teresa, please give me some good news.
Tesha speaks up.
-Tesha: Sadly, no. None of the Human, Demons nor the Elves have any darkness type of Gods. In history there were only 3 but they've long ascended to higher realms long ago. There might be some in the Abyss but i have no idea.-
I doubt that the beastmen or the dwarfs have some either. Their traits have very, very low chances of even getting Light or Darkness.
Sigh.. The Abyss it is then.
But for that i need to get stronger. Being on a pair with a Golden Immortal won't help with that.
A Lesser one at that. I need to be stronger than that.
Guess i'll have to visit that Lundia Kingdom faster then i thought.
I look at the people in the room and they are still dazed from what i've told them.
Melina's been looking strangely at me after i said my age...
I'm still young you know... I'll never get past 18 you know...
-Mike: Well i wanted to get that outta my chest. Now, what will my position be within this Kingdom now that i agreed to help you.-
I don't mind as long as it's above the Kings.
-Tesha: Hmmm an Elde-
-Mike: NOPE! NO ELDER! 100% NO ELDER!-
Yet again they looks strangely at me..
What? I'm not going around calling myself an elder.. Even if it's only in status.
-Tesha: Ok... What about Protector? All you have to do is protect the kingdom when it's in need. So when i'm home you don't have a lot to do.-
Protector?
Sure, let's go with that.
I will protect this Kingdom from the Lundia Kingdom.
And the human Kingdom that's been throwing stuff at us.
-Mike: Well, i have nothing more to say. You guys?-
-Teresa: In 7 days we're going to have the youths from our Secria Academy have a tournament and i would like to present you there to everyone. But i'm still a bit scared of what they might think when they find out that a human is protecting their Kingdom..-
What's there to be scared about?
I don't bite and i'm pretty sure i don't look scary.
I might look lazy but no scary i know that for sure.
-Mike: Just tell em imma vampire, i mean they can't change forms and the only difference between vampires and humans are that vampires have pale skin and red eyes, which i can change.-
* Mike's skin turns pale and his pupils become red *
-Mike: See. Easy.-
Again... Only this time they look even more shocked...
Come on... Do they not know of the disguise spell?
Holy hell... They don't..
....
-Teresa: Wow... You look even more handsome now...-
Says Teresa while looking me in the eyes.
Praise my beauty more please~
-Mike: Well, imma go and take a bath now. Hope you don't mind. Ohhh and here's my link, tell me when my new room is ready.-
And like that i use the same shadow magic that Tilo does and disappear. With more style then him of course. Gotta earn dem extra style points.
The link that i gave to Teresa and Tesha is a spiritual one. It's pretty much only something Immortals can have because their souls are strong enough.
It works like a long distance communication device. But with a built in GPS system.
Seconds later I appear naked from the shadows right in front of the large pool.
Time for some relaxin~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PoV: Tesha
What a strange human... He gave us a link just like that...
Does he perhaps not know what a link means on this planet...
Immortals only share this with their families. Only time they give it to different people is if they marry..
I look at Teresa and her face completely red...
I pretty sure that mines red as well...
This is my second link after Teresa..
-Melina: Not fair....-
Huh?
-Tesha: What?-
-Melina: Not fair! I wanna reach the immortal stage too!-
This girl...
-Tesha: The l-l-link that he gave us means nothing.... He probably doesn't know that it even means..-
Then i hear a voice in my head.
" Ohhh i know what it means very well~ No need to be shy hehe "
* Crash *
I look to where the crashing sound came from only to see that Teresa's chair is crushed and that she's no longer in the room..
T-t-this guy...
I've been teasing him this whole time, didn't think he would pay me back like this...
-Melina: What happened? He just talked to you didn't he? And by the way Tes reacted he knows what the link means doesn't he? That's it! I'm going to the bathroom!-
-Tesha: Wai-
...
I didn't even finish talking she bursted out of the room...
Sigh...
-Tesha: Tilo, what do you think of Mike.-
Tilo steps out of his shadows.
-Tilo: He's random. Too random if i may say so myself. But i can see that he means no harm to the Kingdom so that's good. And you've taken a liking to him yourself, have you not?-
Indeed i have.. Strange.. I usually don't start to like people like this after only 2 days..
I'm just glad that he's on our side, we could use people like him.
And not just that but he's even almost my age...
Which is good, very good.
I can see that Melina has taken a liking to him and so has Teresa, that girl usually never spends time on anything outside of cultivating.
I guess he might lighten up our kingdom a bit.
----
Little did she know that Mike's plans for the kingdom were not as small as the word " Lighten up" his plans for the kingdom were much bigger then that.
