I sat on the castle roof and watched shio's fight with the orc lord. Shio died again and again, he died so many times that it became annoying. "I didn't thought he would break so easily. He lost his will to fight but wants to live, no he wants to die but if he dies his soul would be sent to the hellfire. He's useless." When I was about to stop watching the fight something strange happened. Shio stood up, it felt like he was a completely different person. He stood there like a puppet which is held by strings. He picked up the broken sword and glared at the pig.
While he stood there without moving, something appeared at the place where his eyes should be. The mana inside of his core began to leak out and left the armor throug his helm. I got goosebumps just by looking at him. His bloodlust was so immense that even I could feel it. "What is happening? Is this still the same person?" Shio dashed to the orc and jumped. He pierced the broken sword inside the orc's throat and grabbed his neck. The orc grabbed shio and threw him away. Shio landed on his feet and attacked the orc again. He kicked against the sword inside of the orc and the piggy began to choke.
Shio picked up the sword I gave the orc and pieced his hearts. He pulled it out and stabbed him again. While he stabbed the orc again and again he laught hysterical. "That's amazing! This is exactly what I wanted, Undead King!
You'll be usefull in the future."
Shio's P.O.V
Where am I? Everything turned black. The only thing I can see is this purple flow in front of me. Am I finally dead? Please don't let me reincarnate again. Just sent me to this holy state Zhifar talked about. "That's impossible Mister." Huh? Was that a kid's voice? "You can't die here. You are in this world because you have something to do." Something to do? And what? "I don't know, but every life has a meaning." She heard me? "Yes, I heard you."
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Ai-E."
"AI-E? This doesn't sound like a name. What are you and what do you want from me?"
"That are many questions. First, Ai-E is not my name. I don't have a name but the people call me Ai-E. Second, I'm a god. And third, I want you to live."
"A god you say? But you sound like a little girl." I followed the flow of the purple energy with my eyes.
"How rude! I may be young but I'm still a god! Show some respect!" She sounded a bit upset.
"Ah sorry. May I ask how old you are?"
"I don't know. For us gods time passes diffrently. But I know that I'm young." When time passes diffrently for gods, what counts as young? "Ah looks like you defeated the orc lord!"
"Hä? What are you talking about, I'm not even fighting right now."
"You are. Your body killed the orc lord right now." How is this possible? I'm talking with her. How can I be fighting the orc lord at the same time? "Ah I haven't explained it right? I split your soul in two so that we can talk. While I'm talking to the one half, the other half continues fighting the orc lord. Looks like our time is over if I don't sent you back now your soul would take damage." Wait she did something this dangerous with my soul? "Bye bye mister undead king!.
What is this, it hurts. This is the pain if felt in the hellfire. Don't tell me that I'm going to feel all the pain the other half of my soul felt while I was away! The pain continues getting stronger! It hurts, stop it! What is this voice, is this my voice?
"Let me die!" "I beg you let me die!" "It hurts." "I can't do this anymore." "Please..." "...Die..."
"I..." "...LET ME...!"
What is happening, I can hear my own voice multiple times inside of my head! Stop it already. I...
After that I lost consciousness. When I woke up I laid on the corpse of the orc lord. "Where...? Right, I remember I fought the orc lord. But I feel like I forgot something." I jumped off the orc's dead body and looked at my broken sword. "It broke that doesn't count as losing it, right? Whatever, that's not important now. I have to find these stairs, but I already was everywere on the second floor. Wait, can't you just go from the outside?"
"No theres a divine barrier around the third floor. You can only go there from the inside." Malice appeared in front of me.
"Then what about making a hole in the ceiling?"
"A hole?" Malice jumped and punshed the ceiling. "It... worked. Why haven't I thought about this earlier?" She jumped again and disappeared on the third floor. Did she just left me behind? I can't jump this high.
It took me a while but I can go up there now. I gathered all I could find and stacked it. Corpses or furniture, all of it. I climbed up and arrived at the third floor. Because of the broken ceiling, many light came inside the hallway. Since Malice took the right way I went to the left.
"Can you hear me?" After I walked for hours, I heard a child's voice inside of my head. I followed the voice and arrived at a door with a strange magic cirle on it. "There's a magic barrier on the door. It is a barrier to keep magic power away you can-" I opened the door and entered the room. When I entered the room, for a moment I felt like I would colapse. "EHHHH?! How can you enter, do you have zero magic power or what?" In front of me sat a little fox.
"A talking fox? Are you some kind of monster?"
"Monster?! I'm a fox spirit! Don't compare me with them." So she's a kitsune? She jumped on me and bit my hand. It became hot for a moment. "You should be happy you just made a contract with a fox spirit!"
"When did we made a contract? And why did you bite me?"
"I bit you to make the contract! Since you saved me I have to show you my gratitude. I was trapped in here since I was born."
"A kitsune gets a tail every 100 years right?" She has 4 tails that would mean she is in here for over 300 years.
"What is a kitsune? I said I'm a fox spirit." So the word kitsune doesn't exist in this world. "But you're right." So it's just like in the mythology. "Fox spirits are very strong and fire fox spirits like me are one of the strongest. But there are still spirist above us. Dryads or the spirit queen for example." The fox spirit told me about the different races in this world.
There are Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, Demi-Humans, Angels, Demons, Spirits, Monsters, Gods and Mysthical beings also known Rulers. The Rulers are beings like the Pheonix, the Leviathan or the Dragon. It is said that the Rulers are as strong as gods. The Gods are a bit special since they don't really live in "This World". Every god has his own little dimension he lives in. For example the red and white room Zhifar lives in is called Hell.
In this world are four continents. The Eastern Continent Carmala, the Western Continent Falaina, the Demon Continent Demona and the Floating Continent Verena. The Continents are arranged in a triangle with an ocean in the middle. Above this ocean is the floating continent.
The Eastern Continent where we're right now is flat without many mountains, but it has many rivers and little forests. The Western Continent has many mountains and bigger forests. It has generally a lot of nature. The Demon Continent in the north has very little nature. The most of it is just wasteland with many strong monsters. About the Floating Continent are not many things known, but the people call it paradise. About 1000 years ago when the dragon was last seen, he destroyed half of the floating continent.
