Disclaimer: Chucklefish Games is the owner and the creator of Starbound. I only own this fanfic based on the game itself. There will be other series that will appear in this story and most of them are certainly not made by me.

Writing a Commander SI is something that I have little to no idea of and decided to use a Starbound PC as an SI instead. Lost Star's Factory Isolation is my inspiration in writing this and since there's no Starbound fanfic here, I might as well make one for the forum.

Entry 1:


I’ve decided to start writing a journal in order to record everything that I’ve been doing and keep it recorded for future references. I haven’t thought about doing this since I was busy building houses and a makeshift star port, gathering tons of shit for future use, getting our ships repaired, fueling the Ancient Gate at my new home and looting abandoned laboratories, tombs and outposts for things that they won’t be using anymore. Now that I have enough time to do this, I’d like to make a summary on what I’ve been doing for the past days.


So I woke up on a seat inside a broken down space ship hovering above a garden world two weeks ago with ten other equally broken down space ships nearby and with a bad headache to boot. I panicked at first until the ship’s VI named SAIL asked me to reboot the ship. When he introduced himself, I cursed a storm about the fact that I’m currently stuck in Starbound. He said that I managed to board one of the tens of thousands of ships that managed to get out of Earth before the tentacle monster thing called the Ruin turned it into a death world.


ROB didn’t have the decency to put me here in my own body and just stuffed me in another guy’s body instead. It doesn’t help that the original owner of the body’s memories and some of his traits are seeping into me in order to get me immediately filled in on this world, causing a bad headache that took three days until it becomes disappears.


Apparently, I’m a Human Protectorate member who just graduated eight years ago and went to different places with a large ship that has a small crew compliment of five old Protectorate veterans, two Florans, one Glitch and two Apex. We don’t stick around in one place and have amassed a lot of weapons, trinkets, equipment and pixels in our eight years of being space hobos that looted abandoned places and supply boxes. We also did other things like arresting dangerous criminals, escorting supply vessels and colonist ships, exploring newly discovered solar systems and keeping the peace.


We didn’t even bother to build our own houses on any planets we found that are unoccupied since we have everything that we need in my ship. All of it changed when one of my batch mates invited us to join them in watching the newly graduated kids get their matter manipulators at the Protectorate HQ, Earth. While the rest of my crew couldn’t attend after they’ve decided to finally settle down and retire on a nice garden planet that we’ve found some time ago, I on the other hand was allowed to attend and at the same time, given the full ownership of our ship.


They also told me that I should also recruit the newbies too since I’ve been approved by the higher ups for a promotion to be a captain of space ship. Of course I’ve unloaded many of their stuff into their villa that is currently under construction first before seeing me off with a nice last dinner with them.


Multiple jumps to Earth later, I’ve arrived at Sol and just landed at the Protectorate’s Star Port, ready to attend the Graduation Ceremony as an audience and get some fresh new guys to be a part of my crew. I was already running late at that time and was about to enter the halls until the tentacles started appearing from the ground. I’ve never seen so many dead bodies in my life. When I saw a dozen of newly graduated kids on the stage grabbing their matter manipulators next to the dead body of the latest Grand Protector, I told them all to follow me.


I know the Protectorate HQ’s shortcuts and I can’t just leave the kids to their fates.


I gave them some of my pistols, spears and knives in case they needed to fight off a tentacle while we head for the Star Port. On our way there, we saw everything getting destroyed by the Ruin, people struggling to get to the bunkers and evacuation zones and corpses... lots and lots of corpses. That stuff will scar those kids for the rest of their lives. On our way to the star port, we’ve also saved a Glitch janitor, a Human professor of the Protectorate, twenty five undergraduates and a family of three Avians who were stuck in the locker room.


SAIL bypassed the pre-flight checks of all the ships there and as soon as everyone got into the ships, we’ve blasted out of the planet but not before the Ruin tried to damage some of our ships and causing them to go wonky. We only cared about putting as much distance between us and Earth as much as possible, ignoring all the warnings of our ships getting broken down as soon as we stopped. Sure we’ve overtaxed our ship’s FTL drives by jumping from one system to another without stopping but at least we’re safe and sound.


When we beamed down to the planet, the people who are with me are pretty much distraught and depressed about the shit that happened. They’ve lost a lot of their friends, colleagues, loved ones and families when Ruin appeared on Earth. Our home’s pretty much gone for good no thanks to an omnicidal tentacle monster that wants to kill all life.


Fuck, it doesn’t help that Grand Protector Esther Bright’s kid and her cult is running around, trying to get Ruin to destroy more planets and whatever life that lives down there because of her hatred towards non-humans. I’d like to find her and her cult but with the current company that I have, I can’t just blast off to the stars in order to go on a manhunt. Our ships are broken down too so we won’t be able to move around from one system to another for a while.


I was away from the camp, exploring the planet and looking for food to eat while the refugees were moping and despaired until they all started to do something for a change. The professor started coordinating the graduates on building shelters out of wood and stone. The Glitch janitor and the Avian old guy with us started hunting for food. The Avian mom and the other kids started foraging for plant stuff. When I asked about the sudden change of mood, one of the new graduates answered that the Avian mom inspired them to do something for a change and live on for the sake of those who died back at Earth.


Whelp, that takes care of one problem.


I let them borrow some of the equipment and materials that I’ve… liberated from various facilities and tombs that I’ve explored in my travels and looted from the dead bodies of anyone who was hostile to me. Picks, hoes, seeds, iron bows, drills, weapons, armors and raw resources from my ship’s storage were finally used after years of sitting inside it for Cultivator knows how long. SAIL also commented on the fact that I’m finally cleaning up my storage and how proud he was to see that I’m not a hoarder.


Jeez, this guy must have been a really problematic person before I ended up in this body.


Anyway, SAIL pinpointed an Ancient Gateway near the new settlement that we’ve built. It’s transmitting something according to SAIL, saying something about coming through the gate. It needed core fragments though, which isn’t that hard to find since there’s an abandoned mine nearby with tons of goodies stashed inside the crates stored inside the place. Not to mention the giant mother biter thing that roams at the deeper parts of the mine that swallowed core fragments for some reason.


After I reclaimed the abandoned goodies within the mines, I fed the Ancient Console with the core fragments that I’ve got from the boxes and the dead giant mob’s gut. Just like the game, the Ancient Gateway led me to the Outpost, the place where you can advance the plot in Starbound and get essential stuff from its shops and facilities.


I didn’t have to visit the Tech Facility since I’ve got all of the stuff that I needed from that place. The Teleporter Pad Shop’s going to be useful if I need to go from one place to another without hovering above the planet. The Terramart and the Infinity Mart sells the stuff that we’ll need to keep the colony running such as food, Erchius fuel, seeds and livestock eggs. Penguin Pete’s shop is open and I asked him if he could send some help in repairing our space ships. The man said he’ll do it for a hefty sum after I told him the number of space ships that I need to be repaired, something I can simply pay off from my account since I have a lot of artifacts at my ship’s storage to sell.


I’d visit Grand Protector Esther but for now, I need to get back to the camp and drop off the fresh supplies that I’ve bought here. Besides, I think one Protectorate Human Girl ran past me towards the other side of the Outpost with a Matter Manipulator in hand. I’ll make a good guess that she’s the one contacted by Esther but chances are that she’s only exploring the place.


Speaking of exploring, when our some of our ships got finally repaired I’ve started exploring the solar system that we’re currently on along with two other Protectorate graduates, a Hylotl boy named Shin and a Human girl named Annabelle who are free from any of their current responsibilities back at the camp. It would take some time before mine could be fixed due to the size of it but the smaller Protectorate Human ship will do for now. We ended up in a gentle-class solar system with five planets orbiting around the sun. I don’t know why the jungle world near the sun is not burning but Starbound logic might be at play here.


Anyway, aside from our garden world and the jungle world close to the sun, there’s a desert moon right next to the world we’re taking refuge of, a gas giant with three moons on the farther side of the system, two of which as jungle worlds that are not turning into frozen wastelands for some reason and a lifeless rock with tons of Erchius to grab, a barren world at the second orbiting ring and a desert world before the fifth world. There’s also an asteroid field after the gas giant so we might explore that place for ores.


We’re in luck when we explored those planets since we found an abandoned Apex research lab, two Hylotl castles, fifty abandoned supply crates, a friendly Glitch and Floran villages that are willing to trade with us, a healing spring and a bandit hideout that we’ve cleared out later on. The entire system also has enough copper, silver, gold and tungsten but we might want to move on to the neighboring temperate star systems to get titanium. We’ll probably need better ones such as durasteel, aegisalt, ferozium, violium and solarium in the near future.


When we got back from our system wide exploration, I’ve gathered up everyone at the Meeting Hall in order to plan on how we’ll go from here on out and what are the plans that we have in mind. The Professor intends to teach the undergraduates on being a Protector since he’s the last one instructor legible enough to teach them how. The rookie Protectors would like to explore the other planets and star systems in order to help out in gathering more resources for the settlement like what me, Shin and Annabelle did. Avian mom, old guy and kid would like to remain here in this planet in order to start anew and take care of the settlement. As for Glitch janitor, he said that always wanted to do some farming and livestock caring in his retirement and thus also wanted to stay put in the place.


When it was my turn to tell my plans to them, I told them that I’ll stick around at the camp for a bit since there’s something bugging me about the Ancient Gateway and I intend to look into it for a bit. Besides, my ship is not yet repaired and the settlement needs someone to protect it. The undergraduates haven’t even begun their combat training yet when Ruin happened and I’m not going to delude myself that our camp’s beacon might not attract bandits or worse, the Occassus cultists.


Keeping in contact with the kids is ridiculously easy thanks to how advanced the communications tech that Starbound has that allows them to contact people no matter what the distance is. The rookies also promised to look for any human refugees that might have managed to escape our dead homeworld and lead them to Haven, the planet that we’re currently in before setting off to explore the neighboring star systems.


The camp got a bit silent when the rookies left but at least they’re going to be more useful outside Haven than staying here.


For the time being, I need a nap. I haven’t slept properly for days after exploring the Haven’s star system.



Entry 2:



I’ve started my first ground patrol duty today. Safe as this world is, there’s a small chance that somewhere out there, a marauding group of murderhobos might come at us and wreck this place for shits and giggles. Well, gameplay-wise, a Starbound PC is a murderhobo if one plays his/her character that way but now that I’m in this reality, it got different.


For starters, in my eight years of being a Protector according to the memories of the body’s owner, we never break into some of the manned dungeons that we found such as Avian holy sites, Human military outposts, Floran canyons, Glitch castles and Apex research sites. Most of the time, we either leave them alone or do some errand for them before GTFOing from the vicinity.


We don’t go around killing off criminals as well. At best, we subdue them first and drop them off to the authorities nearby. The bandit hideout that we found had near a Glitch village at the desert planet had… bandits and I told the rookies with me that use lethal force only when it’s absolutely necessary. We’re Protectors, not vigilantes and we shouldn’t dispense executions with our own hands unless it’s necessary. Shin and Annabelle didn’t look so hot after the former ended up killing one of the bandits when he pulled out a knife and nearly killed the rookie.


Last, we never go around starting a fight or two just because there’s something shiny in there that we saw and we want it. In fact, we don’t go around, stealing stuff from villages and settlements that we come across. I’m a hoarder, not a kleptomaniac and I only grab the stuff that we found from places that are abandoned. Hell, my retired captain told me of stories involving Protectors getting into trouble that way after stealing from villagers. If we found something that we want in the villages, we either bargain for a trade or buy them.


Anyway, nothing happened during my patrol aside from wildlife getting too close to the walls of the camp. Avian mom cooked up a nice mushroom soup for lunchtime. The penguin mechanics are vocal about the size of my ship and wanted some bonus after they’ve finished repairing it. Oh and some of the undergraduates started their firearm exercises. It’s quite amusing to hear them swear about missing too much.



Entry 3:



Guard duty again, not that I’m bored since I have a nice book up at the tower for me to read and that there are undergraduates down below who are fumbling about in their combat lessons. The Professor said that on the next day, they will be replacing me for guard duty in order to learn something about being alert. Avian dad brought back a lot of coal, copper, and iron as well from the nearby mines that the rookies cleared up of monsters and lit it up for safety measures. He told me that he found silver and gold deposits in the deeper parts of the mines but couldn’t reach them so I’ll probably check it out when I’m no longer on guard duty.



Entry 4:



I’ve decided to check the mines today after I’ve briefed the undergraduates on the stuff inside the guard tower. When I got to the deeper parts of the place, I found the gold and silver deposits as well as tons of crystals, bats, and spiky-shelled turtles. It took me a few minutes to clear the entire area with my flamethrower and sword before putting down fluorescent lights all over the place to scare off the residents of the deeper parts of the mines. I also made some bridges and cemented some holes to prevent people from falling down as well. After that, I mined what I could get my hands on and came back at the end of the day with ores and diamonds in the tow.



Entry 5:



I went back to the Ancient Gateway and started fiddling on the console. I know that there’s more to it on the console than just a plot device that leads to the Outpost. I found additional command windows on it aside from it asking for core fragments. I’m no good at the Ancient Cultivator language so I’ll have to ask the Professor about it.



Entry 6:



Professor went with me to the Ancient Gateway when I asked for his help on figuring it out. He got interested after I told him about the Gateway and had a look into it. He said that the console’s asking for the names of the people who had unlocked the Admin control panel. We put our names on the console and instead of a portal leading to the outpost appearing on the arch, what we found is a portal with numerous stars on it. I tried to touch it but the portal repulsed me from it. Professor saw another window popup on the Ancient Console, telling us that it needs an input before another console popped out from the other side of it, asking for our hand to be scanned.


Professor put his hand on it but the popup appeared and told him that his results ended up with no coordinates to show. I put on mine and unsurprisingly, no results are shown. We wanted to stay longer but the day’s about to end and it would be best if we tried to do this the other day when we’re not exhausted from working on it.



Entry 7:



We came back at the Ancient Gateway at nighttime to see what we can do with it once more. Professor checked on the first console and found more options on it. He translated it and said that we can change the scanner input from hand to eye. When we did that, the second console transformed from a hand scanner to an eyeball scanner that is as tall as us. We then had our eyes scanned there and found some progress on our Ancient Gateway fiddling.


While the Professor’s results came out as nil, mine has made the first console started making noises. The console had gone to life again, telling us to wait as a progress bar appeared with it slowly filling up. A text also appeared, saying that it will take some time due to a large amount of data that it is currently processing. We decided to go back to camp and wait for it to finish.



Entry 8:



The bar’s barely at its 1/20th, that must be a lot of data being processed.


On the other news, a banged up large ship came by, towed and escorted by the four rookie ships. Inside the refugee ship, at least thirty-five humans, fifteen Apex, thirty Hylotl and eight Novakid Protectorate undergraduates who looked worse for wear and started thanking us for saving them. Apparently, their ship ended up in a cold star system with their FTL drive going kaput and their supplies were about to run out until one of the rookie ships came along.


We’ve got them settled down at the camp and fed after two weeks of eating canned goods and scrimping the food supplies that the rookies had after they were found. Two of the rookie ships left after they’ve dropped off the raw materials that we need to upgrade the starport and at the same time, expand our camp.


The ones who remained wanted to help out in upgrading the camp before leaving the area. The sudden boost of numbers will require us to build enough places to accommodate them all. I’m quite lucky that we’re not living in a 2d environment like what the game has or else we’d be running out of space to build down here.



Entry 9:



My seniors contacted me today. They were relieved that I’m still alive and kicking after what happened on Earth. We swapped coordinates and they promised to pay me a visit at a later date. Meanwhile, the some of the refugees started helping out in the camp’s upgrades and expansions while the rest are still recuperating after days of staying in a cold system.


Professor and I checked on the gateway at night once more saw that the progress bar’s running at a snail’s pace. Six percent, are you fucking kidding me? What kind of data are we talking about here? Why is it so fucking slow?



Entry 10:



The undergraduates are taking up guard duties again. The ship’s fully repaired now and the remaining diamonds that I have is given to the penguin mechanics. They tweaked the ship and made the Erchius fuel consumption low. Before the penguins left for the Outpost, they passed me a word from Esther Bright that she is looking for us after hearing about our beacon.


I paid her a visit later that day and she’s quite a sociable character as her in-game persona is. She said that she’s glad that there is more than one Protector that survived the death of Earth and thankful that I’m pretty much keeping the organization alive despite losing everything. I gave her the coordinates of Haven if ever she had enough time to visit us since the undergraduates would love to meet the Grand Protector herself. I didn’t want to talk about her daughter and the cult that she is currently a part of, though.


I also met the rookie Protector girl that Esther Bright sent out. Erica, the one who might save our universe from getting horribly tentacle raped by the Ruin had just came back from her trip to the Erchius Mining Facility. After she finished her report to Esther, she then turned to me and asked who I was. Few brief introductions later, she’s pretty much hopping up and down on the fact that some of her classmates survived the Ruin and are currently at the Haven. She wanted to meet them right away too since she thought that she’s the only one that managed to survive the Ruin.


Esther smiled when she saw Erica be filled with joy. Past days ago, the girl’s pretty much depressed according to her. Receiving good news like this had pretty much uplifted her mood and morale. I gave her the coordinates of Haven before I left the two of them.



Entry 11:



I took my ship for a test run. Professor wanted to teach the kids on how to run the ship and thus I allowed them to board mine. My first stop will be the place where my seniors retired at. Of course, I told them that I’ll be coming over to their place first.



Entry 12:



Wow, they really made a nice place down here. My former captain welcomed all of us to their estate. Professor asked them if they would like to help out in teaching the undergraduates. Few hours of talking about the arrangements in their new teaching job, a small feast and setting up the teleporter pad so that they can go from their nice retirement home to Haven, they’ve agreed to help out.



Entry 13:



We finally got back to Haven after our short trip to my senior’s retirement home. The six rookies who stayed behind are glad that we’ve returned since they’ll be able to go out again. The settlement got bigger now thanks to the new houses that the rookies built. They’ve also said that they’ll be helping out Erica in her quest to look for the Floran artifact as well.


Looks like the Ruin is on his way to getting his eldritch ass kicked.



Entry 14:



We checked on the Ancient Gateway in order to see how much progress is made. Guess where the meter got already?


Ten percent…


Fucking ten percent…


We were gone for three days and hoped that it would get to at least 20% or more but Cultivator damn it man this is the slowest loading rate that I’ve ever seen ever. And I’ve experienced the slowness of Dwarf Fortress world generation back then.


I was about to go back to the village until the Professor told me to look at the loading screen again. I saw a window box with a list where there are three items on it with a radio button before the lines. Below the list is an Okay and Cancel button. Professor couldn’t seem to make sense on what were written on the list due to how much of a jumbled mess it was. I asked him if he could select one and press Okay in order to see what would happen.


When we did that, the portal suddenly changed into something else. No longer was the thing an endless sea of stars for on the other side of a portal, it was a forest with a single dirt road. When I got near to the portal, I was no longer repulsing me away from it. I put my hand into it and it pretty much went through the portal.


Oh man, this is getting me so excited.


Professor said that we should look into this tomorrow since I didn’t have any of my weapons and armor with me as well as other essential supplies.



Entry 15:



Universalist armor, check…


EPPs stored in my Matter Manipulator, check…


Bombs and Molotovs, check…


Assault Rifle in hand, connected to my armor’s energy supply and checked…


Backup weapons in case of emergencies, pretty much stored in my Matter Manipulator’s hyperspace inventory…


Food, medicine, and basic supplies, also stored…


Looks like I’m ready to go in there and explore. Professor said that I shouldn’t forget to record the stuff that I’ll be seeing on the other side of the portal.


I ran to the other side of the portal and immediately checked if the communication line is still working. Professor can hear me loud and clear from the other side. The air’s breathable, there’s no radiation and there are no extreme irregularities on the temperature that requires me to wear an EPP. A nice garden world if I were to be asked.


Anyway, time to do some exploration.



Entry 16:



I found a walled, medieval Human village after following the dirt path half the day. It’s a good thing that the Matter Manipulator can make good translations on what these guys are saying or else I’d be extremely confused on what these guys were saying.


It took me few minutes before I could convince the guards that I’m not a monster or something. Heck, I even took off my helmet to show them that I’m human too. The villagers looked at me and asked if I was from an order or something that I have no idea of. I spoke to the mayor of this village, asking me if this order organization that I’m suspected to be a part of wants something from them. I answered no and told them that I have no idea on what the heck is the order organization is. I think one of the guys listening in on the conversation supported my claim since she can tell that I’m being honest in saying them.


I’ve also asked around on where the heck am I since I’m pretty much new here. The mayor said that I’m currently at Evergreen, a generic name for a village at the borders outside of the Orderly Nations. They added that it’s been awhile since they’ve seen a knight with no affiliations such as me considering the fact that I’m wearing a strange armor. I was about to ask more questions until the bell rang and the village guards started shouting about monsters coming for the gates.


I saw men and women inside the room standing up and walked out of the room. Mayor asked if I could help out in defending the village, something that I could do. After all, it’s a Protector’s duty to defend the weak and help those in time of their dire need according to the original owner’s memories.



Entry 17:



Monster girls… tall, tan skinned, bone-tailed, knife eared, single-horned and nearly naked monster girls wielding large swords, axes, spears, and bows. They even brought with them ladders and battering rams for sieging actions as well.


Oh, Cultivator-damn it… why do they look so familiar?


It felt like forever when I fought the monster girls that attacked the village on the first hour of the attack. Each time I wound a monster girl, they always heal the wound for some reason. I don’t know how it happened but they do it anyway. My Assault Rifle isn’t working on the monster girls thanks to their divine blessing of being able to heal fast. The men and women stationed above the wall ran out of arrows and still couldn’t kill any of them. The defenders behind the gates had thrown as much junk in front of the gate as they can in order to make the breaking and entering harder.


These kinds of opponents are something that no man can last forever if they are somehow healing up like this.


There’s no way this village is going to last long so I had to use a bigger gun for this.


By that, I mean the rocket launcher.


The monster girls stopped when I pretty much gibbed three of their people with a single shot. Apparently, getting your limbs severed or pulverized is where the healing property ends. I heard a voice of a woman speaking behind my head say stop but I ignored that as I kept on firing more rockets. More of the monster girls got eviscerated by the explosions and the shrapnel shredded them so badly that it wasn’t a fun sight to watch. They tried to stop me by shooting me but the Universalist armor was protecting me from the primitive projectiles. The human defenders started throwing rocks and whatever they could throw at the attackers and poured boiling oil as well to deter the climbers while I kept on firing rockets.


The voice of the woman started pleading and begging me to stop repeatedly but my instincts tell me that if I stopped, I would regret it really bad.


The monster girls retreated, clearly scared out of their wits and unable to continue after getting demoralized by the way their sisters died. The dead pretty much littered the front gates and it was really sickening. Sure I killed some heavily armed bandits along with my seniors but this… this isn’t a fight, it was a one-sided massacre. I don’t know what to feel after doing that. But one thing for sure, I’m not going to be forgetting about this.



Entry 18:



The Professor contacted me this morning.


The letters of the option that we chose were no longer a scrambled mess. I asked what the item’s name is and said three words that pretty much confirmed my suspicions about yesterday’s attackers.


Monster Girl Encyclopedia…


The attackers were Amazones…


I was probably contacted by their deity…


Oh chucklefucks, I think I pissed off the God of War.

Entry 19:



The villagers are thankful for saving them from the Amazon raiding party and celebrated the fact that for the first time in many years of fighting monster girls, no human was taken away during a massed monster girl attack. They never thought that Ares would side with the monsters and prevent them from getting killed in combat. I’m worried about what will happen next after I’ve ignored a God and killed off her favored race but I’m going to expect a lot of bad things happening to me.


The mayor told me what might have happened if I wasn’t there. Evergreen would not have survived, its women would be transformed into Amazons and its men will be coupled with them and be turned into their sex slaves and menials. The thought of it does not titillate me one bit despite being in a porno world, it just pissed me off.


He also recounted of a time when he was younger and was still a soldier of the Order. They finished clearing out an Amazon village after it caused a lot of trouble in a province’s trade routes and found the men that went missing for many years. While the ones who were recently caught are still salvageable, the rest who spent more than a year with the Amazons were pretty much lost for good as their minds are now twisted. They spout out about being happy with their wives who treated them like menials and sexual relief. Some of them even had bruises that pretty much tell them everything that they need to know what kind of treatment they were receiving. The mage attached to his company said that the Demonic Energy that was infused within them was messing their mind and bodies up to suit the Amazon’s need.


I can make a good guess that what happened next and it involves him and his company killing the men off. The mayor looked incredibly ashamed, sad and full of regrets when he told me that story.


The humans of this setting deserve something better than this kind of life.


I had sent copies of the pictures, footages and book scans of the human records and tomes about the world and the monster girls to the Professor in order for him to review. I told him that he need to get the undergraduates armed with heavy weapons and get them ready in case of the Amazons finding the portal and decided to enter it. I couldn’t get any monster girl corpse since we had to burn them after the battle and that the energy readings on their bodies are no longer there.


I also asked him if he could call the rookies and get some of them back to Haven immediately. I need them to build fortifications and traps in the surrounding area of the Gateway and some backup in case of things actually going wrong back here.



Entry 20:



Mayor asked if I was some kind of a hero sent by the Chief God since I managed to not only repel but also demoralize the Amazons as well. I denied such claim and told him that what I did out there was all thanks to my tech, not some crippled sky deity. The priest of the village frowned at my comment about the Chief God but I didn’t care.


The deities in MGE are detestable in my opinion after what its author did to the MGE lore.


To drive it in on how terrible they are, let’s talk about Poseidon, the God (or Goddess) of the Seas and how her monster bias is pretty much screwing over the humans. Back then, before the Succubus Demon Lord had risen to the throne, Poseidon’s job was to cause disasters that came from the seas and oceans on some occasions and probably lead monsters to ships and coastal towns in order to cull the human population as a part of the Chief Gods’ cycle of population control.


Sounds unpleasant all around and it got even worse when the Demon Lord took over.


Sure she still does her thing like before the Succubus Demon Lord took over but now she’s active in causing them to happen more frequently. According to the mayor, it’s rare to see an Order help port city nowadays and the sea routes are pretty much on lockdown after Poseidon kept on actively making bad weathers in order to get her monster girl subjects to get married to them. She’s also doing this because she thinks that it’s for the best of the humans.


You’re not safe if your ship is full of uncorrupted humans, ripe for incorporation to her underwater kingdom. Imagine how many innocent fishing ships and merchant vessels from the Order that got sunken by that Goddess. How many married men who probably make their living to the seas are forever lost and claimed by some random underwater floozy. How many important port cities that are supposed to bring essential supplies and trade to other cities and nations are brought to their knees as tsunamis and storms caused by Poseidon had ruined them.


My sensible standards scream that what Poseidon is doing is nothing short of a pure act total dickery and betrayal at best and I pretty much agree with what my sensible standards say.


Also, the less I think about the Chief God, the better. The last thing that I want to do here is to get super pissed off enough to try and break into the Heavenly Realm and attack her crippled ass for having a part of this clusterfuck.


The only omnipotent being that I could actually give my faith to is the Cultivator and that being doesn’t even need faith to begin with.


Professor called again in the afternoon, telling me that Erica and three rookies came to Haven as fast as possible and asked what is going on. I told him to show them the Ancient Gateway and ask if the armor they are wearing can fully cover their entire body. Out of the four rookies, only Erica and a Glitch named Ironjaw had full body armor set on them. The Floran Rattan and Apex Tiberius said that they haven’t started on upgrading their armor.


I ordered Rattan and Tiberius to fortify the Gateway and make sure that nothing comes out of the Gateway that wasn’t us or approved by me and (or) the Professor will get past them. Erica and Ironjaw are to go to the portal and get to my beacon. I asked the Professor if he could upgrade the armors of the two rookies staying on the other side to tier six.


Professor commented on the evidence that he received that what I did was rather brutal but necessary after seeing them rise up repeatedly no matter how many times they were killed. He also shared his distaste on what is currently happening in this world that I’m currently into and considered it a Protectorate business now.


The actions of the Demon Lord and by extension, the monster girls are anything but benevolent and are considered an act of genocide. Extreme countermeasures are now permitted, which translates to killing is now an option. It’s not a comforting thought but if it prevents an even bigger tragedy from happening, I might as well do it.



Entry 21:



The rookies finally made it to my location by using their hoverbikes. I told the villagers to let them in after they were spotted by the ones manning the guard tower. Erica’s Trailblazer armor is painted gray and Ironjaw’s Lancer armor made him look like a human knight if the helmet was not taken off. When the mayor asked where we came from, I pretty much told him about what kind of a place that we came from. I briefed them in on what will they expect in the MGE setting and what they should avoid at all cost.


After that, we had decided to talk with everyone at the Meeting Hall.


The villagers and the advisers listening in on my story were not just fascinated but also excited about a world where the encroachment of the Demon Lord and her monster girls will not reach them. One of them immediately left, shouting about the “heralds of the Chief God” coming over to bring them to salvation. He also took a horse and immediately jumped to the next town down the dirt path to spread the message even further.


Cultivator-damn it…


Ironjaw said that he had never seen humans act so religious and asked me and Erica if the two of us had the propensity to do such a thing.


We answered no and added that while religion still existed in humanity, the majority of the human population was secular at best. The priest who was listening in on our conversation joined in and asked why we’re no longer religious despite the existence of gods. Erica answered that she can acknowledge a god’s existence but existence alone is not a valid reason to worship them.



Entry 22:



I can hear Ares again.


She’s telling me to not kill her children and let them into my heart.


She gave me a vision of a future that involves me and the Amazons.


I don’t want it.


I don’t want it at all.


I don’t want a lifetime of subservience to them.


I can tell that she’s sad as I kept on rejecting her but continued to egg me into giving up.


I have to do something to make it stop.



Entry 23:



Professor called again, he said that Penguin Pete’s selling giant mechs now along with some new vehicles and sent me the image of the new stuff that the former captain is selling. They look fucking amazing and the demo video about them is making me want to buy one for myself. Sadly, I can’t go to the Outpost now and abandon the village. I guess I’ll have to make do with my dingy walker mech and my green hovercraft for now.



Entry 24:



We began to prepare the caravans and planned the formation for the exodus. The mayor and the villagers agreed with leaving this world for a greener pasture, the kind that won’t corrupt them and turn them into monsters. Matter Manipulators made the cart building easier and faster than the usual methods used. Ironjaw volunteered for the front lines for some reason. Erica will take the middle of the cart. I’ll be covering the flank.


We will all move at midnight, when the Amazons will be too busy rutting away with their sex slaves, preferably with few lights up. We’re in luck that the only monster girls living within the vicinity are Amazons and that they are territorial fuckers. They drove away the other monster girls that once lived in the area in order to lessen the competition for men.


The priest held a mass at the church in the hopes of the Chief God to give them a blessing for their march to the new world.


Also, Professor came up with the solution that might help me identify the Demonic Energy by making the scanner consider the energy readings of the Demonic Energy classify as radioactive.



Entry 25:



The Amazons are back and brought more weapons, siege equipment, and warriors with them.


Huh, my scanner went nuts when they came along too.


They also attacked at dawn break as well, fucking cowards. Erica took up position on the top of the tower with a rocket launcher in hand while Ironjaw and I stationed at the walls, with the former holding a wicked toothed broadsword that is emanating heat and me holding the same rocket launcher that took out the Amazon raiding party.


The survivors of the previous raid saw the weapon and are still wary of me, good.


Their leader, an Amazon who is wearing a fur coat of a wolf on her shoulders and a claymore that also glowed with power shouted, demanding the village to show them the man that dared to stop their attack and the so-called heralds of the Chief Gods.


Fucking Cultivator-damn it to the gas giant…


Judging by how their leader pretty much called us that, she might have captured the moron who ran out of the village and made him spill about me and the rookies.


By now, the shitstorm was now gearing itself to become a super shitstorm.


I shouted my answer to the leader, telling her that it was me who pretty much sent her people running away. The Amazon leader smiled savagely and arrogantly demanded that I surrender now, along with the village and my companions and submit to her and her Amazon tribe. She promised that if we do so, they wouldn't be too rough on us when the coupling ceremony began and that our women would be treated as warriors of great importance when all of them are transformed.


If we don’t surrender, they will make sure that we will be broken in and be made into examples of their Amazon tribe’s power. Our women and daughters will be transformed and be the instruments of breaking our will and spirit. Our sons will be used as their daughters’ meat dildos. And of course, we “heralds of the Chief God” will be offered to the Demon Lord and be turned into incubi and monster girls.


I can hear the voice of Ares telling me to stop my aggression towards her children and just accept them already. I’ve proven my worth and thus she blesses my union with the Amazons. I wish I could answer back and tell her to shut her mouth.


I wanted to answer her but instead, a rocket flew past me and nearly managed to hit the leader in the face had she not dodged in time. Two Amazons behind her, however, caught the rocket and turned into meaty chunks.


Erica’s was pretty much pissed off and screamed her rejection as if she was defying a god. She probably heard the God of War’s offer and denied it faster than anything else.


The Amazons took her defiance as an act of war and began to siege Evergreen for the second time. Ironjaw jumped down from the wall in order to fight the Amazons up close and personal. Like any Glitch, he first spoke the emotion of what he’s saying and the rookie’s pretty much making a lot of ancient movie and tv show references involving knights, killer robots and action stars. His broadsword’s heat energy was breaking the inferiorly made weapons and causing their wounds to be even more painful to heal thanks to how fast the blade cauterize them. The Amazons tried to pile on him but Ferozium-made armors tend to make its wearer stronger and the Glitch pretty much overpowered them all despite the numbers coming to him.


Erica’s giving fire support from above, firing one rocket after another on an unsuspecting Amazon or a group of them who are about to slam their battering ram to the gate. She’s still angry after the Amazon leader’s declaration and whenever she saw her, she immediately fires a shot at her. The Amazon leader, however, manages to dodge the shots Erica made. I think that the Amazon leader is staring angrily and at the same time, lustfully at my rookie with just as much intensity as she did when she stared at me.


I, on the other hand, did what I did a few days ago, firing rockets at the Amazons and making them go boom. The other guys on the wall were also helping out, shooting arrows, throwing rocks and pouring oil at the gate and the walls in order to scald the monster girls at the gates.


Sure the regenerative blessing is still at work but I doubt that this is as far as Ares could go in the twenty minutes worth of making the Amazons dead by the numbers.


After that, the God of War did something that made the archers next to me wail in despair and disbelief.


She bathed and blessed the Amazon leader with light and enough enchantments that a Human hero could actually receive. Such a blessing that was only reserved for humans of piety and character had been given to a perverse mockery of their previous selves. The captain of the guard cursed the Chief Gods on how they have been abandoned by them and cried bitter tears while she’s at it. It must have been really demoralizing on their part.


In addition to the regenerative capabilities that got boosted up, the Amazon leader also received a buff on her strength, speed, and agility. She can pretty much go toe-to-toe with Ironjaw now after playing chicken with the rookie for so long. Her broadsword didn't get chipped anymore by the Glitch’s heat sword and judging by the intensity of her attack, the rookie wouldn't last too long.


Erica immediately shot salvo after salvo of rockets at the Amazon leader, always hitting the Amazon but doing little wound on her as it immediately heals after a few seconds. The Amazons are also getting their morale back and began to intensify the attack on both the wall and the gate. The archers beside me are unable to fight effectively anymore after that dick move that Ares made by blessing their leader.


I had to do something or else they will be taken and this village will fall.


So I took out my Matter Manipulator and selected something that the Amazons will not be able to expect here. I told Ironjaw to get back to the wall and complied by making a power jump to my position. By now, his body will probably need repairs after this battle thanks to the battering that he received. The Amazon Hero is boasting about her blessings from the God of War herself and said that it is fate that we all belong to the Amazons. She also pointed her sword at Erica and said that she will make a fine Amazon once she is transformed.


Of course, Erica fired at her but the shots are rendered useless now thanks to the hero’s blessing.


Ares is calling for my surrender as well when I heard her voice. She doesn’t want to further the loss of life. This time, she’s making more promises as the Amazons climb the ladder and slowly break the gates.


I’m a sick bastard for even thinking about doing this but losing here would mean people getting enslaved. I pressed the Matter Manipulator’s trigger, causing the Manipulator beam to pour hot lava that I’ve stored inside my hyperspace storage to the battlefield and on top of the Amazons.


I never thought that I could top what I’ve done to the Amazons the other day. The results of what I’ve just done today will horrify me for the rest of my life.


They’re melting as molten earth got poured on the heads of those who are close enough to the gate and the wall. Ares shouted in despair as I spread the lava some more, causing the monster girls to back away from Evergreen’s defenses. Every Amazon who was far from the range of my Matter Manipulator has seen how their sisters die. Some tried to rescue those trapped in the lava, only to end up getting trapped in there as well. Some of the Amazons started shouting at me as tears started to well in their eyes. Some were trying to bargain a deal that in exchange for saving their loved ones, they will promise to never attack the humans ever again.


I looked at the Amazon Heroine and I can definitely see her despair as she watched her warriors die. She didn’t wail like her sisters or attempted to rescue them. She just stood there, stunned and silenced after seeing her assault led to this massacre.


The broken and demoralized Amazons knew that they cannot continue the battle anymore after I’ve turned the entire area into a lava lake and retreated once more with no spoils to bring with them. The corpses below are roasting under the heat of the lava and the air smells like burning meat.


The battle has ended with the Amazons who are safe from the lava retreating and those unable to escape to die an agonizing death as lava melts them.


I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep well after seeing this…


At the end of the day, I can still hear Ares’ angry voice, trying to guilt trip me to stop actually fighting the Amazons as I cleaned up the front gates, removed the lava lake and repaired what the lava destroyed.



Entry 26:


The entire village is in a depressing mood after that battle. The knowledge of their pantheons blessing a monster girl had disillusioned a lot of them and believed that they are truly damned and abandoned. The priest yesterday was silent and remained outside of his church since yesterday. With Ares taking sides, the future looks bleak to them.


We need to get them out of here before the Amazon's return but they’re in a state where moving them out would be more dangerous than staying here and waiting for an attack.



Entry 27:



Erica finally managed to get them all out of their funk after two days and three nights of moping.


When the priest asked her what kind of gods reside on the other side of the portal, Erica told him everything about the creator of the galaxy, the Cultivator.


The villagers nearby listened in on Erica’s story about the guy responsible for the creation of the galaxy before life started appearing in our planet. She told them of how the omnipotent being refuses to be seen as a god and interfere with the life of the life that he had spawned. The Cultivator intends to see life grow by itself, stumble in the dark, rise up to adversity and find enlightenment, something that the Chief Gods will never let them do. She also admitted that the Cultivator had made mistakes like the Chief Gods but at least the Cultivator acknowledges them, which shows that even he is humble despite being omnipotent.


When the Ruin came along and attempted to snuff out all the life in the universe, the Cultivator fought against the omnicidal maniac in order to protect all life. For every life that the Ruin took, the Cultivator made sure that new life will rise from the ashes of destruction. The Cultivator may have been shattered into pieces after sealing the Ruin but the latter was finally sealed away and even at the Cultivator’s shattering, he allowed another life to come into existence.


At the end of that story, the villagers asked if the Cultivator still lives on despite getting shattered in thousand pieces. The rookie answered yes and believed that the Cultivator still watches over the galaxy and up to now, the impact of his actions is still ever present across the universe that they live into. She even said that the Cultivator is the one that made it possible for humanity to advance and reach for the limitless skies.


Huh… I never thought that they’d get inspired by that but it worked.


I contacted the Professor and told him that there will be people coming with us when we get back there. The villagers are out of their funk and ready to finally move into a place where they don’t have to live next to a village full of monster girl slavers.


The Professor agreed and informed me that he took some liberties and ordered the rookies to build fortifications on our side of the portal and added automated turrets.



Entry 28:



A grand total of 120 villagers will be moving out in a twenty horse-pulled caravans and their herd of livestock. The village’s mage said that the time now is almost midnight. The last of the villager’s possession is now loaded inside the caravans, leaving the houses empty. We’ve made decoys straw men and have them guard and man the walls this time. We’ve sent someone to scout the vicinity for any Amazons before we head for the portal.


Twenty-five minutes later, he came back and reported what is going on… and it’s what I’ve expected.


After what happened a few days ago, the Amazons are probably not going to be able to muster enough of their kind to attack us according to our scout. The Amazon village nearby barely have enough adults to keep the village secured and running after the two failed raid attempts. There are Amazon children seen there but they are barely trained to fight against something as well armed as us.


Even if their leader became Ares’ Hero, she wouldn’t try to take her chances on attempting another skirmish with a guy who just melted her sisters.


Of course, the Amazons within the village were mourning the death of their sisters and swore to take their vengeance by killing the Black Demon and his armored minions for murdering their friends and families, as well as humiliating their tribe in such a manner that they have never thought possible.


On one hand, I feel sorry for the killing and the unnecessary loss of life of the monster girls.


On the other hand, they were slavers whose hubris made them think that we would simply abandon the weak and had the support of a shitty God of War.


We began to journey our way back to the Gateway at the cover of the night. By the time they get their wits back and attack the village, we’re already halfway to Haven.



Entry 29:



Ironjaw, Erica and I had a private conference in our communications as we walk our way to the Gateway. The two rookies are asked me first on what I would do next after we’ve finished escorting the villagers. I told them that I would continue to explore the world but I need to stop by at Penguin Pete first. I’ve pissed off the Amazons and I’ll probably need more than just a reliable backup and a fortified position, preferably a heavy weapons platform like mechs and a shuttle craft to lessen the time I need to travel around.


Erica wanted to help out but I told her that she had to find the Floran artifact. Ironjaw didn’t want to stay here since he wanted to accompany Erica on her mission. I guess I’ll have to ask the rookies we’ve left if they want to come along in my exploration then.



Entry 30:



My radiation scanner detected something at dawn. It’s not pinging like mad during our last battle with the Amazons so it must be a small number of them. Luckily, we’re getting close to the Gateway and the Professor said that there are auto-turrets there. Hopefully, it’s a rocket turret and that they have a good IFF system.



Entry 31:



A teenage Amazon decided to come at me with her spear pointed at my direction, shouting revenge for her dead family that I’ve killed and calling me names. Judging by her haggard looks and shaky posture, she must have been crying a lot for days and didn’t get enough food or rest while she’s at it. I’ve seen this kind of thing according to the memory of my body. Bandits that he and his former seniors had captured who were later brought back to the local justices and some person who lost their loved ones showed up to the bad guys and pretty much too enraged to care about anything other than hating and killing them.


I told the caravan to continue without me as I deal with the obviously grieving and vengeful Amazon that ran for me and me alone.


She attacked by trying to jab her spear at my chest. It didn’t work as my Universalist armor broke the tip of the spear she was using. She didn’t care and decided to use the broken spear as a blunt object and tried to whack my head with it. The wooden pole that was once a spear didn’t even register any damage to me and it also broke into two due to my armor. She threw the broken makeshift weapon and took out a knife that she holstered on her hip to stab me at the slits of my helmet, which ended with her knife breaking apart as well. She took out another knife that she holstered on her back and threw it to my knee joints. I caught the knife before she could even make any contact on the joints and broke it with my bare hands.


Violium armor is the toughest armor in existence after all.


She got even more pissed off and started throwing punches and kicks at me. The blessings of Ares are not at work here as she bled herself in front of me in an attempt to kill me. She’s painting some parts of my armor with blood but I guess that she doesn’t care anymore. She just wants me dead for what I’ve did to her. I guess that the monster girls in MGE can feel more than just lust.


After her last punch, she just kneeled in front of me with her arms and legs still bleeding from her attempts to engage me in a hand-to-hand combat. She looked at me on the eye one last time with despair and hatred showing in them. She tried to stand up a few times but her injured legs and weakened body had prevented her from doing so and making her fall flat on her face.


She had fainted from exhaustion.


She looked like she’s in pain and I don’t think that the bleeding will stop so I healed her up a bit to make sure that she won’t die out here. I was about to leave her there until the Professor contacted me.



Entry 32:



When I made it back to the caravan, the humans saw me carrying the same unconscious Amazon teenager that tried to attack me at my shoulder. Her arms and legs are bandaged and tied and her eyes are covered. The humans asked what happened as they recognized that my black armor has some blood stains drying on it, I told them that the girl tried to avenge her dead family and failed.


Erica asked what I will do with the Amazon and I answered that she’s my prisoner now. We need to understand Demonic Energy and since the corpses did not hold it for long, we needed a live subject for the study. The two rookies were uneasy about what I just said and I had to assure them that we’re not doing something illegal to her or anything that would make an Apex scientist look ethical after their mutant research thing. We needed a better scanner for Demonic Energy and the Radiation scanner jury-rigging is not meant for longer ranges.


There were some opposition from the villagers but the rest agreed to let me keep her as a prisoner. Besides, we’ve already prepared a special containment chamber for her back at Haven. For now, she’s put in the caravan where the mage is.



Entry 33:



Well, this looks interesting. The fortifications on this side has craptons of sandbag walls and towers lined up with turrets on each opened slits and the roof. Ironjaw recognized Rattan, who is waving at us and asked why it took us so long to get here. The Gateway’s still active and showed us the Haven’s side, which also have the similar setup back here. The villagers looked confused when they saw Rattan but we had to assure them that he’s not a monster girl, just a sentient plant person who likes meat and stabbing things.


We were the last to enter the portal in order to guard the evacuation and prevent the Amazons from attacking us just in case they feel suicidal enough.


I’ve heard Ares once more, calling me out for not only killing her favored race but also preventing them from finding love by taking the humans with us. I won’t humor her by answering, I’m going to save it when I find where that shitty War God live and give her a piece of my mind to her damned face. For now, I need to go back to Haven, clean my armor, get a new ride and get some rest before exploring MGE world once more.

Interlude: An Amazon

Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2016 2:55 am
by WodanYmirthe2nd
Her name is Arana, fourth child of Araka and Sidon and a member of the Greenclaws Amazon Tribe.


Her dirty gray hair is tied at her back. Her scantily clothed body had yet to receive a tattoo imprinted on her brown skin until she had finished her rite of passage. One would suspect of her as an adult thanks to her height and curves but in reality, she was still just a teenager. Monster girls, after all, develop their bodies faster than an average human in order to allure the men and make them theirs. Her face is free of blemishes as her Succubus nature has prevented her from having them. Her steel gray eyes would have made those who look at her see strength and fire.


Right now, her face is streaked with tears and dirt and her eyes hold nothing but hatred and anger towards the person that stood at the opposite side of her.


Her fellow tribeswomen spoke about the person in front of her with fear and terror gripping their hearts. A monster covered in black metal armor with purple accent and lines of blue lights eerily glowing on the helmet and chest armor. It stood between her and a caravan line full of humans that are getting farther away from them. The monster is just as tall as her but in a few years or so, she’ll probably outstrip him in terms of height. She can smell that whatever is inside that armor is a human but only in a biological sense.


No human can be that cruel enough to give her family such a cruel death without any hesitation. After all, humans do hesitate when they are about to kill the monster girls in general, which is how her late mother had met her father.


She held her spear tight and tries to strengthen her weakened body. She had followed these creatures for hours after seeing their scout at the hillside. She ignored the fact that she hasn't rested or eaten properly for days due to mourning on the death of her fellow tribeswomen and families with her father, who is inconsolable after finding out about their demise. She will make the monster pay for their deaths with his wretched life.


“Well, you have my attention Amazon. What do you want?” the monster spoke as it crossed its arms.


“You’ve killed my family.” Arana shouted in anger, “You’ve killed my sisters, my mother, as well as my best friend and my mentor!”


Her aunt Arell, the matriarch of the Greenclaws and her aunt had returned to the village along with 22 warriors out of the 117 that came with her. She looked around for any sign of her mother Araka, her best friend, Wallic and her mentor Mekel amongst the survivors and did not find them. She asked her aunt about what had happened to them and did not answer the question. She looked around for anyone who might be able to answer her question until she found an Amazon who was carrying a bundle of her dead daughter and willing to answer her question.


The Black Demon has obliterated their bodies like what he had done to her sisters. They couldn’t be brought back after his vile magic had molten the ground that they once stood on and made them suffer a slow and painful death.


She never screamed that loud after the fates of her loved ones had been revealed. It’s as if the accursed Chief God was not content with the death of her three sisters, it had then decided to become even more vindictive and take more of her family and friends. She cried for three days along with her father, who is now a widower.


“They shouldn’t have attacked the village that I’ve put under my protection if they wanted to live, Amazon.” the Black Demon responded to her declaration without any hint of regret, “I would have been more than willing to just let them walk away unscathed if they weren’t so determined to lose their virginity in a suicide run.”


“What…” Arana couldn’t think of what to answer as the Black Demon no longer crossed his arms.


“Why, they were oh-so-eager to finally become adults that they’ve ignored the fact that I’ve turned your tribe’s first raiding party into unrecognizable bits without batting an eyelash before they’ve attempted to do it the second time.” the monster nonchalantly said, “Any sensible person who had just seen me turn someone into meaty chunks would have just stopped and immediately left. Sadly, the Amazons that attacked Evergreen were not sensible enough due to them thinking with their crotch and thought that the blessings of your War God will be adequate enough to defeat someone who uses high explosives and lava as weapons.” he paused for a bit and replied, “Yeah, those morons deserved to die.”


Arana charged at the Black Demon with her spear. The monster’s disrespect towards the death of her fellow tribeswomen will not go unpunished along with the crimes he had perpetrated. She can tell that the face behind that helmet is smirking as it stood still, confident that his armor will protect him from her. She prayed to Ares to bless her spear’s tip and give her the strength to bring justice to those whom he had slain as she closes in on him.


“Useless.” a snap followed after the Black Demon’s armor had shattered her spear’s tip.


She looked briefly at the broken weapon and gritted her teeth.


“This armor survived a volley of arrows that your late sisters had thrown at me...” the monster pointed it out as she gripped the broken spear hard, “What more could your spear do?”


“DIE!” she used the handle as a club and aimed at the head.


The improvised weapon snapped into two when it impacted.


“Seriously kid, if an iron spear doesn’t work on me, you should have at least had an idea that an improvised wooden blunt will not work as well.” the monster’s response to her actions was ignored as she began to take out her knife from the hip holster, “… you’re going to attack me, aren’t you?”


Arana brought her knife upon the Black Demon’s head and specifically, through the slits. She expected that the slits are the weak spots of the Universalist armor, only to end up finding out that the slits are too small for her knife to fit. It didn’t help that the alloys used to make the armor will not yield to the iron knife, causing the latter to break as well.


“Look, kid, I’ll just go back to the caravan and leave. I’d rather not kill more monster girls at this point, all right? You're not even in the proper condition to fight as well.” the monster turned around after stating his intention to leave, leaving Amazon who is still seething with rage and removing her other knife at the back holster.


“YOU’RE NOT LEAVING!” she shouted and threw her knife to the kneecaps of the monster’s armor.


“Cultivator-damn it…” it sighed and turned around quickly.


Arana saw her last weapon that she used as a projectile to be caught in the hands of the monster before it could close in on its kneecap. She didn’t want to believe that the monster is nigh invulnerable as it snapped the knife into two with its bare hands.


So she ran towards him, fist raised and preparing to engage the monster in a fist fight.


“That’s a bad idea kid, stop.” the monster is worried, “Please, kid. What you’re doing is futile.”


She punched the chest armor, uncaring anymore of what will happen next and ignoring the pain it caused.


“Jeez...” she ignored the voice of the Black Demon as she continued to punch and kick the metal frame, “You’ll just injure yourself if you keep this up. Just stop already.”


She didn’t care if the pain and weakness were making her body exhausted. She didn’t care if Ares blessed her or not as the regenerative blessings were not present in her current battle against the Black Demon. She didn’t care as her arms and legs started to bleed from repeatedly attempting to break the armor with her bare hands. She didn’t care if her blood was painting the blackened surface of the murderer’s armor.


She didn’t care anymore aside from hurting the monster that took her family and friends.


“This must be the first time you had experienced actual rage, huh?” the Black Demon asked as she threw her last punch, “To feel a burning urge to murder the person that just killed your loved ones.”


She didn’t speak as she fell to the ground: tired, bleeding and hungry. She also felt something aside from despair and rage that she had experienced a while ago. An emotion that a proper Amazon shouldn’t have but she is currently experiencing as of now.


An emotion called fear.


“… Why… won’t… you… die…” she panted, trying to catch her breath and muster enough strength to stand up once more.


“Hmmm… good question, Amazon.” the Black Demon cupped its chin and pondered, “Why won’t I, a human wearing an armor that can take poorly made and primitive weapons to the face die?”


The monster moved closer to her, looking at her in the eyes through the slits. Arana tried to stand but her body gave in to the exhaustion and made her fall flat on the ground.


“That’s quite an ironic question, considering that humans ask that same question as they tire themselves in an attempt to kill one of your Amazons, only to see your kind heal the wounds inflicted upon them.” the monster said as Arana tried once more to stand.


She looked up to the monster and saw the being crouched in front of her and looking down on her. Her arms are wobbling and she's starting to feel numb on her legs in the process. She just wanted to leave now. She didn’t like where her situation is going.


“Now you know what it feels like when a human is cornered and rendered helpless by your kind. Betrayed by your own body…” as if it was on cue, she fell flat on the ground once more after her limbs gave in to the injuries it sustained, “Fearful of what will happen to those they will leave…”


The Black Demon leaned its head closer to Arana, who was close to losing her consciousness. Her mind had been filled with nothing but rage and despair at first but now, all of that got replaced with fear. She knows that she won’t be going back to her tribe’s settlement after this. The blessings of Ares no longer working as her wounds remained unhealed and her body remains too exhausted. Her last seconds of freedom will involve her hearing the last words of the monster as she fainted.


“Unsure of what comes next after their defeat.”


That was the last thing that Arana had heard before she had lost her consciousness.

Entry 34:



We’re finally back here in Haven.


No more Ares trying to give me “good advices” in regards to dealing with the Amazons.


The villagers were surprised when Avian mom and Glitch janitor showed up and led them back to the settlement. We had to assure them first that they’re not monster girls as well. They also stared at a lot of stuff that they don’t usually see back at MGE world such as metal buildings, flying transports and streets that are not covered in shit according to one of the undergraduates who helped the two in leading them back to the settlement.


I suggested to Avian mom to set up classes for them in order to understand how stuff works. The last thing that we want is a huge misunderstanding that spirals into something worse.


The Professor led me to the new Protectorate Academy that he built some time ago next to the Ancient Gateway while we were at MGE Land. It’s not as big as the one back at our dead homeworld but the place is adequate enough to take in the current student population that we have. I asked where he got the materials and all since a lot of titanium and durasteel were used in building the entire place. He said that my former crew officers went on a mining expedition/field trip with half of the undergraduates on a snowy planet.


They taught the rookies during that trip on subjects like surviving planets that has cold weather, building structures using training versions of Matter Manipulators, creating a mining area and fighting hostile wildlife. They also found a USCM outpost and convinced the guys manning it to move to Haven after they’ve confirmed the beacon that Haven’s broadcasting.


Huh, guess that explains the new faces that are guarding the entrance of the Academy.


He also bought loads of titanium and durasteel from Ursa Miner as well. The two metals were quite cheap thanks to the sale that the shop had few days ago and he had a lot of pixels to burn.


He showed me the Laboratory building of the Academy and I had to say that the place is well equipped. I don’t recognize some of the gear back at the lab but at least it will help us in the future. The containment cells may not look like a five star hotel but the cell’s pretty luxurious despite its actual function. Then again, we are dealing with a sapient subject here so we might as well make sure that she isn’t uncomfortable while she’s imprisoned here for the sake of !SCIENCE!.


Professor also wanted to talk about the things that I’ve done during the second siege. He won’t do it today though since I’m tired so instead, he asked me to move the Amazon to the containment room.


The girl’s woke up after I got out of the room and looked around for a bit. She was confused at first on what just happened to her. Then she started to realize that she’s not in a familiar place. She saw us through the observation window and started knocking on the glass, asking us on where she was and letting her go. I told her that she was captured and was taken to our world as a prisoner by me.


Her eyes widened after my response and probably processed it for a bit. When she started to realize that I was the Black Demon, I had already left the building. I swore to Cultivator that I could still hear her scream as I rode my way back to the Settlement on a hoverbike.



Entry 35:



Whelp, the Professor’s talk about the siege and my after action report was rather informative.


While we can agree about the fact that throwing lava over the Amazon’s heads was quite brutal, the fact that my actions had saved a hundred and twenty lives from a future of corruption and sexual slavery will not be forgotten over the unethical method that I had used to get it done.


The Professor also found a lot of tidbits from the scans that I had sent days ago about the Amazon/Human conflicts, with the combat doctrines of the Amazons and their ideas of diplomacy being on the top of my interest.


In many occasions, the Amazons would simply overwhelm the human defenses and break them for their sisters to gain access to the place they’re invading. In rare occasions however, the MGE humans would be able to force the Amazons to a retreat and initiate a counterattack to the poorly fortified Amazon defenses.


Wooden walls and sentry towers are quite common in Amazon camps and if they were lucky on acquiring an engineer of some sort, stone and mortar based.


However, there’s one fact that the Amazon/Human conflict share with each other: diplomacy will always fail.


The humans had attempted to open diplomatic talks with the Amazons before their attacks. On many occasions, the human envoy are not only captured but also sexually assaulted after they had said their peace to them. Some are accepted but the Amazons enforce their own conditions which include the humans paying the Amazons with the best of their people and removing themselves from the Order’s protective umbrella.


For Amazons, it’s either win or run. No middle grounds or any compromises as they consider it weak and soft. They either return home with men and new converts in the tow or with the shame of their defeat and a plan to subjugate the ones that defeated them.


The Evergreen refugees wised up during the first siege of the Amazons and had forgone with the negotiations in order to fend off the Amazons. I thought that they were going to ask them to leave when I encountered them during their first raid but instead they had just shot the Amazons without any warning. A good standard operating procedures if you’re fighting something that cannot be negotiated or strong arm them into accepting unfair and disadvantageous conditions if I say so myself.


Still, despite the uncooperative nature of the Amazon, the Professor told me that I shouldn’t use the lava method to deal with the monster girls or as he call them, “mamono” all the time unless it is needed. While limiting my Matter Manipulator’s capacity on certain objects isn’t necessary, I had willingly done it in order to be unable to pull out another lava lake of death again. Seeing bodies melt and burn like that is the stuff of nightmares and I swear to the Cultivator that I can smell burning flesh sometimes.


Right now, my Matter Manipulator’s lava capacity is limited to 200. If I tried to harvest lava, the Matter Manipulator will destroy the unit instead of storing it inside its hyperspace storage.



Entry 36:



The Amazon’s name is Arana, according to the Professor. She’s a member of an Amazon tribe named Greenclaws. She’s not yet considered an adult since she hasn’t done her Rite of Passage. While we have already guessed what the answer on what the hell is the Rite of Passage will be, he asked anyway for the sake of confirmation.


I’m not surprised when she answered that the ritual involved having sex with a man with a twist of it being done in public in order to signify their ownership over the sorry schmuck in front of a lot of Amazons who will watch her.


Professor relayed a message from her to me. The message that she wants me to hear involves her hands around my neck once she’s out of the containment, joy.


In other news, the Professor wanted to come along with me on the next MGE world exploration that we’ve scheduled next week. He wanted to study the Demonic Energy in its natural environment as well and he needed to see how it works. I got a bit worried on who will be taking care of the console on the other side but Professor said that he taught Tiberius on how to operate the console and understand Ancient Cultivator. The Apex rookie already had a firm grasp about it by the time we got back to Haven with the refugees.


It also helped that Tiberius is very interested about the Ancient Gateway and the multiverses out there.



Entry 37:



Erica told me that she got invited to join in a Floran Party along with Rattan.


Floran Parties are pretty much big game hunts that the Florans organize every year with a lot of Florans participating in it. My body’s pre-insert memories had been keeping itself updated about the Floran Parties for a while in order to know what giant creature that the Florans will be hunting around for the year. I think that the target for this year is an Ixodoom.


I had sent her a flamethrower and a warning about the participants of the Floran Party aiming to lessen the competition by attacking them.



Entry 38:



Some of the Evergreen ladies came by at my place and were surprised that I’m not wearing any armor and instead saw me in my white shirt and blue shorts. I let them inside my house and commented on how clean and huge my place is. They wanted to talk to me about myself since they did not have any chance to do it back at the village due my intimidating appearance.


They were expecting to talk to me while I’m in my Universalist armor but instead they found me while I’m in my casuals.



Entry 39:



I went to Penguin Pete to buy what I saw on the demo video.


I’ve bought myself an R-11 Ronin Rho Mech since arm mounted lasers are fun and can be used as a mining equipment, a blue Shuttle Craft since I’ve been waiting for a decent flyer for a while and a yellow Submarine out of curiosity.



Entry 40:



Professor and Tiberius discovered something new about the Gateway Console’s function while they were checking on the progress bar. We can move the Gateway’s location now once the other side has the same Gateway arch, four Ancient Lampposts and the Ancient Stones. I made a quick looksee on the other side and found those things built within the sandbag ring. Heck, the sandbag defenses are also on top of the Ancient Stone Floors as well.


I went back to Haven and confirmed what I saw there. They both decided to give the function a test run by picking a random location and pressing the Okay button.


I got repulsed and fell flat on the ground face first when the gate suddenly became a black space full of stars. Tiberius checked on the console and said that the moving will be finished in four days.



Entry 41:



Whelp, considering the size of the settlement, the entire place is now considered a small town now. The refugees started to set up their own militia corps to keep the order and a small governing board to regulate the people and the jobs that needs to be done. The Evergreen refugees are still fumbling about living in the modern world but at least we’ve managed to stop them from throwing wastes on the streets and finally had a grasp on the basic of modern age hygiene.


I went to a nearby cold star system and orbited on a Midnight class planet after we’ve received an SOS beacon coming from there with Tiberius and a Novakid rookie named Wells. I had the rookies equipped with Heating EPPs and tier 6 armors after SAIL’s initial scans told us that there’s a lot of hives down there.



Entry 42:



We found a USCM Prison close to where we warped to the surface. The entrance got busted open and there’s a lot of gunfire heard from inside that place. Wells looked at the ground and found tracks that definitely did not belong to humans due to how thin and dragged the tracks were. There are also a small number of wrecked Scandroids and dead human prisoners and guards behind a makeshift barricade once we got past the entrance. There were a lot of Maggot men milling about the place as well, currently doing… things on the dead bodies, be it human or not.


Guess that the shield generator got busted and the mob came in to sweep out the place. Cultivator this is going to suck.



Entry 43:



It took us three hours to clean house but we had done it. Fighting those Maggot men was a challenge thanks to how much bulk of flesh that they have. We exhausted most of our stock of Molotovs, collapsed few sections of the prison, summoned my mech indoors and started a lot of fires in order to kill the Maggot Men.


We rounded up the survivors and did a headcount on all of them. The prison population before this incident was at 212 humans. Out of the 212 humans, only 15 are still alive and kicking.


The survivors didn’t want the dead bodies to be left here for the Maggot men to desecrate so we loaded the bodies in body bags and warped them back to my ship, along with the survivors. We also emptied out the prison for any useful salvage we could find before we’ve left the entire place. Tiberius found a large space ship made of cobbled-up durasteel and violium alloys that looked half-finished until the attack happened. It seems that the guys living here agreed that dying in this planet full of Maggot men is not a good way to go and had started building their own escape vessel.



Entry 44:



Back at Haven after that rescue mission.


The survivors are more than happy to start a new leaf at our little town and enjoy a life of being free from that Hive infested planet. We buried the bodies there and gave them a proper send off at our newly made cemetery just outside the town.



Entry 45:



It’s not just the Evergreen ladies who are crushing on me.


A Hylotl undergraduate named Shizune (I still don’t understand why the Hylotl picked Japanese names of all the things) that I’ve saved back at Earth along with her batch mates had been fumbling on trying to start a conversation with me while blushing for the rest of our guard duty. The way she arranged her purple hair-like fins in a bun made her quite a cutie too.


When our guard duty’s over, some of her undergraduate friends that relieved us came by and I’ve overheard their whispered questions to her if she had managed to get somewhere with me. I pretended that I didn’t overhear their conversation as I went off. The last thing that I want is to get Shizune even more flustered.



Entry 46:



Erica and Rattan had finally returned from the Floran Party with a large Ixodoom shell as a trophy. She also made a new Floran friend, Nuru. The Floran kid’s quite happy about losing the big game hunt too since she got tired of winning it repeatedly for nearly two decade. Erica also said that she’s moving in to Haven as well since everyone that she knew lives here.



Entry 47:



The other side of the portal is relocated at the farthest side of a mountainside town with a large stone castle at the farther side of the mountain. Professor said that we’ll start the expedition within two or three days since he wanted to show us something.



Entry 48:



Professor made a lecture about what he found out about the Demonic Energy at the Academy’s Lab. Me, Tiberius, Rattan, Erica and Ironjaw were ordered by him to participate in it. Arana listened in on our conversation too from the containment room. She also looked at me with the same amount of hate that she showed back at the other side.


Demonic Energy is a special kind of radioactive energy that obviously turned the monstrous population of MGE world into their anthromorphic versions of themselves, only more feminine. Most of the stuff that he talked about was something that I already knew due to my knowledge about the Cultivator-damned setting until he told us about what he saw in his observation on Arana.


Arana is technically a part of the Succubus family, which was usually known for producing a lot of the said Energy on a daily basis. According to the books that I’ve scanned, the entire containment room by now will have small traces of it during her six days of stay. Erica asked how the Professor found out about this and the man showed us a tool that looked like an Ore Detector that he made in order to scan DE. He activated the DE Detector that released a pulse. It went across the room and through the walls, sparing no objects and entity that the pulse passes through.


The result was a huge surprise to me when the DE Detector’s pulse went through Arana and her containment room.


The containment room was not showing any traces of residual DE on any objects and furniture inside it. Only Arana was showing signs of DE by weakly glowing purple for five minutes. The Professor seems unsure about what he saw but he needed more data in order to make a conclusion about the DE’s nature.


The Amazon was not amused with what the Professor’s gadget did to her, making her glow and all but we now have a new tool that will help us learn more about the MGE world. Oh and with the DE Detector, infiltrators will not be a problem.



Entry 49:



I found some undergraduates at the Laboratory today. They talked to Arana and the results are unsurprising as they were disturbed about what she said. Still, they asked me if what I did to her family and friends were true… which I confirmed without a second thought and added my piece on her narrative. I gave them an assignment about asking the Evergreen villagers about the place where they came from before they go forth and condemn me for my actions.


Arana looked bitter after I told them that and said that I am a monster who brutally murdered her kin. I asked her if me being a monster gives her and her Amazon tribeswomen a free pass in tearing apart human settlements and rape the defenseless men and women inside it, be it young and old.



Entry 50:



That’s a lot of refugee ships.


So apparently, our beacon attracted fifty ships of varying sizes ranging from Kestrel to Eagle class. All of the ships had suffered a lot of damage after jumping for so many times too. All of them held a lot of survivors from Earth inside them. The rookies who lead the ships back to Haven gave us number of refugees inside those ships… which are at 1089 in total.


Our town had 272 people living in it. Now, it’s going to balloon to 1361.


The expansion for… well, everything will take a while due to the number of people that just moved in. Not only that, we do not have enough houses to accommodate the refugees that they might end up setting up tent cities near the town. Heck, I’m currently sharing my house with an Apex family of five and the unused classrooms that the Protectorate Academy have are occupied with more refugees.



Entry 51:



Professor just hired a penguin construction company to help out in the expansion. Paying them is easy enough since the rookies also hoarded enough diamonds and artifacts to sell to them. Providing the materials are also easy enough thanks to how much we can take from scrapping the heavily damaged refugee ships orbiting above us.


I still couldn’t wrap my mind around on how those ships even survived the trip despite the amount of damage it took.


The rookies (with the exception of Erica, Ironjaw, Rattan and Tiberius), the undergraduates and fifty other town residents who are not expanding the farm went and gave the penguins a hand in building the town’s new residential areas.


Meanwhile, the Professor and I entered the portal once more and Tiberius is the only one on the other side, manning the Gateway for us. Erica and the two other rookies who got involved with the Gateway are currently looking around for Hylotl artifacts.


The sun’s setting on our side so we better get to the town fast.



Audio Log 1:



*Aegisalt thrusters humming background*



“You know, I’ve never had a chance to ask you your name for two months, young man.”


“Excuse me, Prof?”


“Your name, young man… I haven’t asked your name for a while.”


“Huh, now that you mentioned it, I haven’t asked you your name as well. I mean, I’ve been calling you ‘Professor’ for so long that I thought that that might be your name.”


“Haha, that’s what you think of my name?”


“Better than being called ‘You’, ‘Sir’, ‘Guy’ or ‘Meatbag’ if some of the Florans and Glitch inputs are included.”


“Well then… I believe that a little introduction is needed. *clearing throat* Hello, I am Professor Helios Olympus, former Dean of the Protectorate Academy’s Science and Technology College and now the unofficial headmaster of the new Protectorate Academy.”


“A pleasure to meet you, Professor Olympus, my name’s Grey Crestwell. I’m just an everyday Protector who went from drifting the stars to part-time explorer/assistant teacher.”



Entry 52:



We made it to the mountainside town in a short amount of time by riding a shuttle.


To our surprise, the town also had monster girls in it mixed with humans but many of them are not that aggressive towards the humans. Holstaurs, Centaurs, Weresheeps, Wererabbits and Lizardmen aren’t known for attacking humans unless certain conditions made them do it.


Anyway, the townspeople don’t seem to recognize me, which is good since the Professor wants to study monster girls in their home environment.


We asked if there’s a place for us to stay for a while and they directed us to an inn.



Entry 53:



The town’s mayor, an Anubis to be precise summoned us to her office in order to ask questions about us.


Her first question was about my identity as the Black Demon that destroyed the Greenclaws Amazon Tribe with fire and brimstone. Mayor Anubis wanted to know if I was the same Black Demon. Lying’s not an option as of now so I answered yes.


There was a short and tense pause when I confirmed the answer before she nodded and surprised us when she told us the reports of the Amazons were false. According to her, the Amazons reported about me being a savage that slew innocent Amazon lives at first sight and abducted innocent humans. Mayor Anubis knew better due to her knowledge on how the Amazons work. The only innocent Amazon is the one who is not participating in settlement assaults and manhunts. She also informed us about the Greenclaws Amazons and how much trouble that they have caused to the other monster girls that once lived in their vicinity. Some of the Amazon displaced monster girls lived here as well and still nurses a grudge towards the Amazons.


She added that we should be more careful from now on as Ares had caught the attention of the other gods as well for the matter.


Her second question was about our purpose of our stay here. Prof. Olympus answered that we’re here to explore the world, learn about the Demonic Energy and evacuate the humans who are still free from DE corruption. She raised her eyebrows when we said that we wanted to evacuate the humans but decided not to press that any further, although she asked us of our reason for wanting to learn more about Demonic Energy.


The answer that Prof. Olympus gave to Mayor Anubis boils down to us wanting to dig deeper into the nature of the energy and finding a way to prevent it from causing more harm to the natives here. Mayor Anubis simply nodded and said that she hoped to see us succeed in doing it as well. I think I also detected some sadness in her voice too.


The last question that she asked was about the humans on the other side of the strange gate that shot fire upon the scouts that she sent there. She wanted to know if the humans there are quite like the ones back here.


She received two answers for her last question. Yes, we are like the ones back here at MGE world and probably just as squishy as the rest. No because unlike the humans back here, we’ve advanced in all aspects on the other side and we grew up in a harsh reality where everything might kill you and most of the pantheons that we believe into are fictional at best.


After that, she let us leave her office and told us to not cause any trouble while we’re in her town.



Entry 54:



Prof. Helios allowed me to call him by his first name but I’m not dropping the Professor though.


Anyway, the townspeople were a bit amused when they all started to glow in faint purple after he activated the DE Detector. A Holstaur barmaid on the inn that we’re staying into, Mariska was her name asked us if the glowing is permanent. The townspeople were relieved that the glowing will stop in five minutes and that nothing will happen to them.


On the side note, there are faint traces of DE everywhere. The men and monster women here had glowed lightly. Arana glowed brighter than these guys. Maybe it’s because of the DE being contained within her.



Entry 55:



While Prof. Helios is asking the townspeople about the stuff that they do here, I’ve decided to do some volunteer job at the inn after one of their employees decided to take a leave in order to give birth. I didn’t mind doing such a thing anyway and I’m waiting for Helios to finish what he’s doing anyway. Mariska looked like she’s about to laugh when I wore an apron over my Universalist armor and tried to convince me to take my armor off.


Like hell this armor is coming off of me.



Entry 56:



Mayor Anubis’s aide told us to hide ourselves in our rooms and do not leave until her boss said so. I asked what was going on until someone shouted about a Lilim and her entourage passing by.


I took off my armor as fast as possible, leaving me in my blue cardigan and gray pants. The aide blushed a bit when she saw my face for the first time before she reminded me and Prof. Helios again to stay hidden.



Entry 57:



The Lilim’s aura affected the men and monster girls living here. I saw a couple across the inn went behind a tree and did it there while the Lilim stood there, looking smug as the two did it all the way. I couldn’t get a proper look on her since the last thing that I want is to get her sights on me. I found it strange that Prof. Helios and I are not affected by the Lilim’s presence. Aside from a momentary infatuation that I’ve felt to her appearance, I didn’t felt anything else nor had any form of lust building up inside me.


I really hope that she leaves immediately.



Entry 58:



Fuck… a monster girl’s kid just spilled that there were two humans in weird armor that had just arrived in this place. She went to our inn and asked around for our rooms. Mariska and the owner of this inn were trying their best to deny her of our location as her aura’s affecting them as well. Prof. Helios said that the guys below are not going to last for long as the Lilim’s aura started to affect them both. It doesn’t help that my radiation scanner is going nuts thanks to the amount of DE that she’s producing.


Then I remembered that we can transform into Distortion Balls to hide ourselves.



Entry 59:



She didn’t find us at the inn but she’s still staying in town. The aide came by and told us that we needed to leave as fast as possible. She said brought us a set of clothes that has some traces of a monster girl’s scent on it and a world map inside the pocket. She told us to wear it and never take it off until we’re far away from the town. I asked the aide why her boss was doing this for us despite being humans who are ripe for the taking.


She smiled sadly at us and said that Mayor Anubis believed that what the Demon Lord might not be able to fix could be done by us. Being captured by the Lilim is not going to help both the humans and the monster girls in the long run. She’s not hopeful about the Demon Lord being able to bring unity to both humans and monster girls as she watched the slow decline of all humans until the news of three armored demons came forth to save the lives of a besieged village. Our short stay here and the Professor’s discussion with her on what he had found out about the Demonic Energy gave her hope once more.


She also gave me a kiss and bade the two of us good luck.



Entry 60:



A bunch of Dullahan from the Lilim’s entourage tried to chase us down when we got screwed over by some monster kid who revealed us for some Cultivator-damned reason. I wished I had my helmet on so that I could record the Dullahan’s face when we both ran faster than them. Also, I need to send the Tech guy another gift basket after this.



Entry 61:



We ended up staying inside an abandoned castle by the mountain when a freak thunderstorm suddenly happened. I don’t want to risk it by travelling in such weather even if I had a shuttle with me. While we were waiting for the storm to subside, Prof. Helios looked into the map and said that the next place we should go to can be either at the eastern borders of Lescatie that is close to our location or to the north where a former Order held port city is.


I wondered why there’s a surprisingly lack of any local information regarding the nation aside from the fact that it exists and it’s still a hero factory. Anyway, I told the good Professor that our next trip will be at Lescatie and called Tiberius to move the portal to the next beacon that we’ll be dropping it.



Entry 62:



Awww chucklefucks… This castle has an occupant…


And she took the good Professor after he activated the DE Detector.

Interlude - A Professor, a Dragon and a Crumbling Castle

Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2016 7:59 am
by WodanYmirthe2nd
Professor Helios Olympus had finally recovered from getting abducted without any warning.


He really wished that he’s wearing his armor since he can feel the claws of his captor gripping his torso. It’s quite uncomfortable if he was asked and he hopes that his captor knows how to control her strength.


He also got a good glimpse on his captor before she grabbed him and flew outside to the topmost part of the castle while the storm continues.


By all means, the winged monster girl with piercing golden eyes was taller than anyone that he knew, even taller than the Amazons on the footages of Ironjaw’s helmet camera. Her tail swished when she grabbed a hold of him before they flew off. She wore some sort of a skintight green spandex to cover and accentuate her ample bosom and a loincloth that covers her crotch. The arms and legs are reptilian in terms of appearance as the four fingered claws and the thick green scales that reach up to her elbows and knees. Her fair skin also had scales but only on the hips, forearms, waists some parts of her cheeks. Her ears are webbed frills and on the top of her long, purple hair covering head, a pair of large horns is sticking out of it. She’s also glowing in purple, which is quite brighter than what he saw today.


It must be really stressful to have something like that on the top of her head.


He also noticed that when he got grabbed by the Dragon that he also dropped both of his DE Detector and Matter Manipulator. He couldn’t open his hyperspace inventory as well without the Matter Manipulator, making him is both unarmed and almost defenseless.


He could still use his tech abilities but they won’t be able to save him judging by the height that he is currently into.


The two of them entered the large window of the tallest tower of the abandoned castle. The Dragon huffed in relief, probably from the fact that she is no longer spending more time outside where it’s both wet and cold. She then dropped the Professor on a cushion next to a small pile of jewelries and gold.



“Stay.” the Dragon roughly feminine voice commanded as she opened a chest to look for something.



Helios looked around the magically lit Dragon’s lair in order to see if there’s any exit for him to use. Unfortunately for him, the only exit of the tower, which is a spiral staircase, is in a state of ruin. He could try to jump out of the window but he didn’t have a spike sphere or wall jump tech equipped and she will only catch up with him and bring him back to this place before he could get too far if he managed to survive the fall.


His only hope now is for Grey to find a way up here before the Dragon does something to him. Hopefully, the various ruined parts of the castle will not hinder him in the process.



“Here.” the Dragon threw something to Helios’s lap, a dry red silk towel, “Dry yourself.” her rough voice added as she took out another towel and placed her claws on her clothes.



When the Dragon started taking off her clothes in front of him, Helios turned his back immediately. He’s a gentleman after all and looking at a lady who is in a state of undress is rather impolite and undignified. He began to rub his hair and skin dry with the towel that was given to him. He wished he could take off his wet clothes but he’d rather not risk it while in the presence of a monster girl who might pounce and sexually assault him without any second thought.



“Human.” the Dragon called him, “Why are you turning your back on me?” she asked with a tiny hint of being offended in her voice.


“Sorry, ma’am but I’d rather not look at you while you’re naked.” Helios responded as the Dragon frowned a bit, “Its courtesy from my homeland when it comes to beautiful women such as you.”


“Homeland… is your odd clothes and strange magical artifacts from that homeland as well?” another question was asked by the Dragon, clearly interested on Helios, “Is your companion from that place too?”


“Ye… yes, we’re both from that place.” Helios answered once more.



The Professor can tell that the monster girl is quite interested about the answer. In his mind, he formulated a plan that can delay and distract her from what she is doing as Grey found his way here.



“Tell me more about this homeland…” the Dragon couldn’t finish her sentence as she remembers that she had not yet asked for Helios’ name.


“Helios Olympus…” Helios completed her sentence.


“Ah yes, now if only you could turn around and speak to me face to face.” the Dragon suggested, “After all, it is quite rude to speak with your face turned the other way.”



Helios Olympus hopes that his friend could get to his place fast before he ran out of things to talk about and the Dragon starts to have some ideas.

“Fuck…” Grey said as he lies flat on his back on the ground when the floor where he stood on suddenly crumbled down and sent him falling to a very expansive and spacious basement, “I thought that the floor was stable.” he stood up as he looked up in order to assess how far did he fall, which is quite a height from where he stood on. He can also see and feel the weak and strange purple energies from the place that is slowly dissipating, “Gah… this is going to be one of those places, huh?”

Helios is glad that the Dragon has finally put on her clothes after he repeatedly told her that he can’t keep an eye contact with her while she’s naked. At least he wouldn’t have to deal with her repeatedly pestering him to face her despite being in a state of undress.


Still, that doesn’t mean that he’s out of the frying pan.


For thirty minutes, the Dragon is enamored by his tales about his home world on the other side of the portal and the journey that he had during the days when he was still in active duty. She liked the fact that he’s not just any human hero who just walked into her former master’s castle just to invade it due to some trumped up charges regarding their morality. Helios also heard her mutter about annoying heroes of the old who kept on disturbing their castle before falling asleep. As he told her his life story, they could hear something below the castle getting torn apart every few minutes. Every loud crash below seems to make her sharpen her back a bit and look at the direction where it came from before looking at the Professor again.



It seems that the castle isn’t structurally sound after years of disrepair and Grey’s making it crumble faster. Professor Helios thought as he paused in order to let the Dragon speak.


“… How fascinating you humans truly are.” the Dragon commented from her seat at the opposite side of the Professor, “A world without any magic and yet you prosper despite all odds.”


“Yes indeed.” Helios agreed, “Mind you, our world wasn’t a simple place to live into considering that we have no access to any Chief Gods and magic and most of the time, all we had were each other.” he sighed as he remembered what he had read on the ancient history of humanity, “We built great wonders and treasures, formed vast and numerous civilizations that can be based on almost anything and shaped the world to suit our needs.”


“Quite an impressive feat despite being short-lived and handicapped.” she gruffly as the storm gets stronger, “The humans of this realm could learn a lesson or two about your kind. Sadly, I doubt that such a thing will ever happen.”


“Oh?” now it was Helios’ turn to be curious, “Why would you say that?”


“If I told you the full story of it, we would be sitting in this crumbling castle for days in order to tell you he entirety of my epic.” the Dragon looked proud at such statement, “After all, I’ve lived longer than the tenth Monster Lord that currently sits on the throne and I have so much to tell.”



Helios’s eyes widened when she said that the tenth Monster Lord is currently seated on the throne.


From what he had gathered from the tomes that he had read, the current Monster Lord is the thirteenth. The Monster Lords tend to be long lived according to the tomes and are said to rule the monster kind for centuries. The tenth Monster Lord died for over 900 years ago.


The Dragon’s statement caught the man’s attention and asked one question:



“By any chance… what year is it today?” Helios asked, hoping to confirm something from the Dragon.


“Hmph, you humans must be terrible at keeping time...” the Dragon commented on the question, “… the year as of now is at 252 of the Holy Reign if the Order’s calendar is used. Why did you ask?”



According to Helios’s chronometer that he had set for this world, the year is at the 1152 of the Holy Reign. In other words, Helios had been talking to a Dragon that who is outdated on what had happened in the past years due and had went into some form of long term hibernation.



“How… how long were you here?” still, Helios needed to confirm in order to confirm, “I don’t want to be rude but the year as of now is at 1152.”



There was a short silence when he said that. At first Helios didn’t notice but fumes are coming out from the Dragon. Her once lighter facial expression is now contorted to a grimace. Her tail stopped moving, showing how she’s no longer amused and just plain focused.



“Tell me everything.” her voice went back to the same rough voice from before, “I want to know what had happened during my sleep.”

Grey found himself in the middle of a large and decaying throne room filled with a lot of bones, broken weapons, destroyed armor and rubbles as far as his eyes could see. He could identify some of them as humans, most of which are close to the throne where a horned humanoid skeleton dressed in worn out robes is seated with a sword sticking out of its broken ribcage. As for the rest, the bones are from species that he couldn’t identify due to the lack of ideas on what they are.


He then activated the DE Detector and a pulse appeared, passing through everything inside the room. There are small traces of Demonic Energy within the room but it’s slowly dissipating as he slowly advances.


He fell down multiple times to the ground and basement level and had some parts of the castle fall on top of his head that it made him more careful in traversing the castle. He would have tried flying in a shuttle but for some reason, his vehicles won’t appear and causes the controller to fizzle out whenever he attempts to use it.


It’s as if the castle’s sentient enough to prevent him from getting to the Professor’s location immediately by making more obstacles.


He felt another tremor violently shaking the grounds and saw the traces of DE disappearing during the tremor. Large chunks of the ceiling fell on top of the throne, crushing the remains of the humanoid that was seated upon it. He needed to move fast or else the castle will finally bury him...


Which is going to be a problem due to how unstable enough the castle was that sudden movements might make the entire structure come down on his head.

The Dragon is now enraged.


Helios could tell that after hearing about the summarized version of what had happened before she woke up today after the two of them entered the castle. At first she was happy that the tenth Monster Lord had finally fallen since the bastard had enslaved her kind for so long but she was later enraged on what had happened to her kin today. She believed that her human friend’s efforts to free her kin had been senseless after what the thirteenth Monster Lord had done.



“Are you telling me that my kin are not only enslaved by this ubiquitous Demonic Energy that turns them into sex starved younglings…” Helios can see small sparks coming out of her mouth, “… but they are also raised back as undead abominations who are even more lustful than they were back when they were still alive?”


“Y… yes… the Dragon Zombies are quite common in places that are too secluded for anyone to traverse and…” the Dragon got angrier when the Dragon Zombies are mentioned as common occurrences.



The implication of her fellow dragons who refused to become slaves to their sex drives and being raised into abominations after dying after they fought against their vile nature and exercise restraint only fouled her mood. She stood up from she was seated and walked towards the window behind her. She then spewed out a stream of fire that had toppled a tower below and illicit a scream of the Professor’s companion below when the crashing sounds were heard. When the fire ran out, she roared to the stormy skies out of frustration.


Her rage continued as she spewed less powerful streams of fire and curse filled shouts that try to compete to the thunderstorm. By the time she had finally calmed down, the storm is already at its weakest.



“Miss…” the Professor asked the Dragon whose back is still turned.



Again, silence reigned for a few minutes. The sounds of the storm tuning down to a drizzle and more parts of the castle collapsing are the only things that were heard inside the room. Helios was about to speak to her until the Dragon finally broke the silence with one question:



“Why couldn’t they just give us a respite?” the Dragon turned to face him. Her golden eyes filled with bitter tears.


“Huh?” Helios looked at the Dragon.


“All we wanted was to be left alone and be able to determine our fates without having some megalomaniac forcing us to be their glorified hounds or some idiotic zealot with too much power in hand slaying us out of some trumped up visions and prophecies.” the Dragon quietly said as her clawed arms quivered, “We never wanted to be a part of any of the idiotic plots of the Monster Lord, let alone be a stepping stone of some hero.” Helios decided to remain quiet in order to let her continue talking.


“Sure many of us became greedy, arrogant and pompous after some humans decided to give them treasures and food out of fear and reverence but why is it that the rest of us are always getting dragged into the problem that they create?” as the Dragon lamented, Helios heard a triumphant shout of Grey close by, “It doesn’t help that after we’ve managed to free ourselves from the Monster Realm’s grasp that this whore succubus had decided to once more shackle us forcefully, making my kin feel an unrelenting urge to throw herself to a human boy whom she barely knows about. Not only that, she had also effectively killed us off as a race now that our males had been transformed into females.” tears are now flowing down to her face.


“I… I don’t know what to say…” Helios stood up and took out a handkerchief and gave it to the Dragon, which she took and used to wipe her tears off.


“I know that it is shameful and undignified for us dragons to weep and cry…” the Dragon said with a shaken voice before blowing her nose with Helios’s handkerchief, “… but a millennium’s worth of enduring all of the things that are wrongfully done to my kind during my sleep and awakening to a world where the cycle is twisted by a monster who couldn’t even control her lust nor have any viable combat skills become a monster lord is starting to take its toll.”


“Professor!” a familiar voice is heard from behind Helios.



Before Helios could look back to the source of the voice, the tower began to tremor. The Professor nearly fell down but was then caught by the Dragon. Behind the visor of his helmet, Helios can make a guess that the young man’s confused but knowing him, he’d push his questions for later.



“We can talk about this later!” Grey said with urgency, just as how Helios predicted him to act as such, “This castle’s about to collapse on its own after I caused some problems on it. We need to leave!”


“… Get on my back.” the Dragon said with a rough tone.


“What?” both the Professor and the Protector mouthed the same thing in unison.


“Do you want to live or not?” the Dragon responded gruffly as she glows green with power and her body gets larger and scalier, “Get on my back now! I will fly us all to safety!”

On that night, the villagers of the mountainside saw for the first time a castle crumbling under the subsiding storm and a silhouette of a dragon in its monstrous form that flew out from the tallest tower of the crumbling castle to the forest borders of Lescatie. The Anubis sent a small group to scout the remains of the castle at dawn in order to investigate the remains.

Audio Log 2:



“So let me get this straight… the Dragon lady that saved us is probably a thousand plus years old mons- err… mamono that had been sleeping at the tallest tower of the castle and that the entire place had been under a spell in order to keep it hidden and at the same time, let it’s structurally impossible architecture from falling down like a set of cards…”


“Yes.”


“… and for some reason, thanks to the fact that not only did we managed to break into the barriers of the castle that kept it hidden but also destroyed the stabilizing parts of the magic that prevents it from becoming subjected to the laws of physics, right?”


“Definitely...”


“Is there such a thing called the laws of physics now?”


“Yes. The laws of physics exist… though I don’t think that this realm is following the concept of that to the letter considering how the magic that kept that castle standing and all. Fucking MGE world…”


“Sorry about that. Grey must be in a bad mood after getting nearly buried multiple times, Miss…”


“Zyagem, just call me Zyagem. I have some titles after my name but that means nothing now and that they’re incomprehensible in human tongue.”



Entry 63:



I lived out one of my childhood dream of riding an actual dragon… and it was fucking awesome!


Anyway, Zyagem said that she wanted to join us in our quest to explore this world and expressed her desire to move to our world. Helios needed another subject in order to study DE anyway and she’s less likely to go around and rape humans so we agreed at her second request.



Entry 64:



I dropped the beacon and contacted Tiberius to move the Ancient Gateway afterwards. Tiberius reported to us about the Arana and the undergraduates talking to each other whenever their classes were done. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad but I hope that Arana won’t get any ideas.



Entry 65:



We’ve built a camp near the beacon as we waited for the Gateway to appear. Zyagem’s impressed on how ridiculously fast we were at making a clearing and building tents. She also had to shrink her wings in order to prevent it from getting in the way inside the tent that we had set up for her.



Entry 66:



We’re being watched.


When Helios activated the DE Detector, we saw some traces of the purple trails around camp. There were some moving blobs not too far from our camp that needed to be investigated but not after we are finished in securing our campsite first.



Entry 67:



The small blobs that we saw not too far from our camp were actually from mamono kids who were living in some kind of a rundown manor.


The trails of DE that were left around the campsite were made by some elf girl who shot me with fucking arrows while I was scouting the place where the mamono kids were. She tried to cast some spells at me but I wasn’t affected by it at all (I’ll have to ask the Professor if he could do some research on this as well when we get back to Haven). I grabbed her bow after I cornered her and snapped it into two pieces, which made some of the kids back at the manor scream a bit. She then tried to engage me in a hand-to-hand combat but she ended up with a pair of hurting fists after trying to punch a Solarium enforced Violium armor. I had to tie her up in order to stop her from being an idiot as well.


The mamono kids who saw me thoroughly handing the elf girl’s ass on a platter were scared due to the fact that I’m still wearing the Universalist armor with some of the arrows sticking out of it. I had to put my armor into the hyperspace storage in order to make them less terrified of me.


The elf girl eyes widened when she saw me without any armor.


I looked at her before a kiddie Minotaur went forward, putting up a brave front while her legs are shaking like hell. She also held a toy axe and she was wielding it like how an undergraduate wielded their first weapon. Seriously, I found it cute since she was shouting at me to leave the elf alone and she will protect her sisters and friends.


It was a pain in the ass to calm them all down and get it into all of their heads that I’m not there to murder them all. I had to put more effort in calming the elf girl down after she called me the Black Knight that slew Amazons without any mercy.



Entry 68:



The elf girl’s (well, half-elf) name is Primera Concerto, one of future Fallen Maidens who will ruin Lescatie and rape her love interest after years of emotional and sexual tension. If she becomes corrupted by Druella empowered werewolves, she’ll end up becoming one of the most terrifying Fallen Heroes that is capable of turning humans into werewolves from afar using her DE infused arrows.


Primera asked me if I’m somehow related to this Elt guy since I looked like him. I told her no but I need to check on this Elt guy later on if he really looked like me.


She also told me that the reason why she attacked me was because of the fact that she thought that I was about to kill the mamono kids that her friend Sasha Folmoon had been secretly sheltering. Jeez, talk about my reputation spreading this far.



Entry 69:



I went back to the campsite with Primera in the tow in order to introduce her to Helios and Zyagem. The half-elf looked like a fish out of the water after seeing how our camp looked otherworldly thanks to the equipment and defenses that we had set up. Zyagem sensed divine blessings and DE on her body and soul and asked if she’s not falling slowly into insanity thanks to how those two things are not supposed to mix. Primera was offended at first when the Dragon asked that but she calmed down later on and asked on what she just said.


We were treated with a thirty minute lecture courtesy of Zyagem in terms on why both divine and Demonic energies shouldn’t mix at all.



Audio Log 3:



“Both energies are not meant to mix and tend to fight each other over the domination on the living being infused with both and the properties that the other energy has. I’ve seen both humans and monsters that attempted to do this kind of thing and ended horribly as their bodies slowly succumb to the worst kind of mutation or worse.”


“Worse?”


“Their mind and soul will be ripped and torn to shreds as the two energies fight for domination and the body will be left as a husk of what it was, only moved by the conflicting energy and primal instincts to survive and sustain that remained.”


“Like a zombie, huh?”


“Indeed it is. Back at the days of the ninth Monster Lord, she had infused herself with the divine energies that she had harvested from the Heavenly Hosts that she had killed. The results ended up with not only disfiguring her into a fleshy abomination but also turned her capital into a meaty mess made of teeth, claws, bones and blood. That mess had caused both the humans and monsters to form a grudging alliance in order to slay her.”


“Wait… Ares infused one of the Amazons that I’ve fought some time ago and turned her into some mamono hero. How is she not subjected to that?”


“Lesser deities tend to have less potent holy energies on them. They can bless the monsters but the holy energy that they have will only be eaten by the Demonic Energy within their bodies.”



Entry 70:



Primera was undoubtedly afraid after that revelation.


She wanted to get her heroic blessings removed as fast as possible but it will take some time to do so. Zyagem wished that she could help but she’s not well-versed with sorcery and magic. Primera then remembered someone who could help and told me that I should go to the city and find a magical girl named Mimiru Miltie.


Helios gave me a set of Glitch Merchant clothes that would make me look like one of them and a hood since Primera told me that it’s better that no one could get a good glimpse on my face thanks to how I look like this Elt person that she had a crush on (she went beet red when I told her that). Professor also gave me a newly made DE detector, which is going to be fucking useful since Lescatie might have some infiltrators by now.



Entry 71:



I finally made it to Lescatie after a passing family with a caravan gave me a lift.


The guards didn’t ask me to put my hood down and let us in after they’ve inspected the caravan. We’ve parted ways after getting past the entrance.



Entry 72:



Well… that escalated quickly.


So here I was, minding my own business and on my way to the Magitec Academy that Primera told me about until I bumped into a bunch of unsavory thugs. The said thugs had an insignia that reminds me of Warhammer 40000 Inquisitors (only with no skulls), telling me that I’m a suspicious person for wearing a hood and apologizing without even fearing them (seriously). I defended myself by telling the thugs that there are a lot of people walking around us that is also wearing a hood and that they’re singling me out. The thugs were about to get violent with me and I was about to materialize a set of brass knuckles until a group of soldiers intervened.


They managed to stop us from duking it out but I ended up losing a lot of time that could have been used to find Mimiru so I’ve decided to stay in an inn for the night. I thought that the stupid had ended when I was about to go to sleep until the thugs came back and started ordering the owner to drag me out of my room.


What happened after one of the thugs stuck their face inside my room involved a Kaiser knuckle to the face. I was pissed off back then and their antics cost me the daylights I needed to find the kiddo that Primera wanted see and now they were disturbing my rest. A lot of fighting later, the peacekeepers of Lescatie came by and found me on the streets, surrounded by people and with a bunch of black and blue thugs on my feet.


I got arrested along with the thugs of course after the bystanders told them that the thugs were the ones who also started the fight. I think I saw some of them smiling at me and heard some congratulatory whispers.



Entry 73:



Huh…



Waking up in a jail cell and on a badly made cot isn’t that bad… then again I’ve slept on worse kinds of beds back then. Sasha Folmoon arrived in order to look for the guy who looked like Elt and found me sitting on the cell, writing on my journal. She whispered to herself about how similar I looked like the older version of this Elt guy with a brownish skin and asked if I was related to the said person. She also asked if I was the “weird Black Knight” guy who visited her “other house”.


By what she meant about the “other house”, she meant the mamono orphanage. Jeez, the kids must have remembered what I look like outside my armor.


For the answers though, I told her no on the first one and confirmed the second one that I’m the same Black Knight that used her other house the other day as a resting place. She’s relieved when I said that I didn’t harm anything inside the other house before bailing me out of the place. As we left the precinct, I also saw my sort-of doppelganger waiting for me outside.


Sasha introduced me to my look-alike, Elt Anderson. Admittedly, he does almost look like me if I had a fairer skin and a bit taller by a few inches. Maybe I’m in a setting where I’m the clueless [YOU] guy who will end up getting gangbanged by mamonos.


Anyway, Elt asked me if I’ll be sticking around for long. Sadly, as much as I would have loved to hang around with my doppelganger, I had to find Mimiru first so I told him no and added the reason why I won’t be sticking around since I had to find Mimiru.


Sasha and Elt asked why I needed their kiddie magical girl and I told them that I needed her help on something. They took me to the place where Mimiru was though.



Entry 74:



One trip and a one incident where I got mistaken for Elt and got nearly dragged into the barracks in the process, we’ve finally made it to the Magitec.


I’ve never seen a kid who looked just as miserable as Mimiru when I saw her for myself. Jeez, she’s trying her hardest to make herself look all right. Sasha found it a bit painful too while Elt looked a bit sad when he saw her, sitting in one corner and reading a stack of books… alone.


When I got introduced to her, she also asked the same question that a lot of Elt’s friends had been asking.


Anyway, I told her about a certain half-elf that needs her help at the campsite that I’ve set up outside Lescatie and requests for her help after discovering something. Mimiru didn’t believe me at first until I materialized a communicator to my hands and contacted both Helios and Primera. The three of them got a lot more interested when the Professor said that he’s doing a lot of research about DE and how to defeat its corruptive properties without killing its host.


Mimiru said that she’ll come with me and Elt and Sasha wanted to tag along in order to check on Primera. I told the three of them that we’ll go to the campsite tomorrow morning.


When its nightfall, Sasha wanted to talk to me some more about the DE research that I had a part of and offered a place for me to stay for the night at the orphanage.



Entry 75:



It was nighttime when I heard another voice of a god while I was staying at Sasha’s orphanage within the city walls.


It was sultry, oily and too into the talks about love and monsters that I activated the DE Detector.


The pulse went throughout the entire place and I found something big hiding in the orphanage’s basement storage. The glow wasn’t strong but it was enough to spill out some corruption. There are tiny traces all over the Orphanage too, probably spread out whenever someone goes down to the basement to grab and store something. I woke Sasha up and asked her if she’s keeping any mamono kids inside the orphanage.


Sasha answered no, which made me tell her that the entire orphanage got infiltrated by a mamono.



Entry 76:



We found our mystery infiltrator down the basement.


The Dark Angel that we found at the basement thought that the magic circle that she stood on will hide her presence from any humans as she slowly spread enough DE in the city along with her fellow Dark Angel cadre. Sadly, I had a DE Detector and for some reason, I can break into any barrier that she erected. We dragged her out of her little corner and brought her outside the basement and outside the orphanage. She tried to flee but Sasha casted a spell to shackle her to the ground. She tried to seduce us, telling us that her master will promise us the freedom that we couldn’t have under the Order and the Chief Goddess.


Unfortunately for her, Sasha replied that her words are nothing but empty promises while I answered that I don’t believe in the Chief Goddess and I’d care less about her master since I’m already free to begin with. She looked really scared before I knocked her out and put her inside a capturing pod. Professor Helios is going to have another test subject for the DE research.


Sasha got worried about the Dark Angel’s other comrades and asked me if I could help her in finding them and stopping them. I agreed to her help request as long as I’m not mentioned in finding them.



Entry 77:



Earlier this day, I’ve met Elt’s CO that mistook me for her subordinate again at the gates with Sasha close by. I remembered her name, Merse Dascaros and she was pissed off at me for making her mistake me for her favorite subordinate while prodding me if I’m Elt’s doppelganger. I’m not a morning person, she reeks of beer, she also held me up yesterday and I’m a bit peeved that both Elt and Mimiru are running late so I decided to mess with her a little.


How I did it? I asked her if she was in love with Elt but is keeping it a secret by drowning it with enough alcohol.


Sasha was mortified when I said that and Merse tried to hit me a couple of times while blushing heavily and swearing like a sailor.


When Elt and Mimiru came, Merse stopped trying to hit me and asked her subordinate on where the hell he is going with a magical girl, a priestess and some guy like me in the tow. Sasha, Mimiru and Elt didn’t know what to answer so I told her that we’re going to the forest for a picnic since we want to get to know each other. Merse looked at me when I said that and asked where our basket full of food was until Sasha showed her the basket full of treats that she’ll be giving to the mamono orphans when we pass by their orphanage.


Merse wanted to come along as well but she was on duty as Mimiru told her. She tried to make Elt stay and do his duties for today but Elt reminded her that he’s off-duty today and tomorrow. She then threatened me that if anything happens to her favorite subordinate like say he gets kidnapped by some slime girl or something, she’ll hunt me down and murder me no matter what.


Since her face came close to my face and her alcohol breath annoyed me, I teased her about how she’s showing her mama bear tendencies to me when it comes to Elt. Her cries of rage were music to my ears as she tried to hit me again.


I wasn’t a pleasant person that morning.



Audio Log 4:



“Grey, are you all right? You’ve been rubbing your temples for a while now.”


“I’m fine, Elt… it’s just that some deity is talking to me again…”


“Eh, you don’t sound too thrilled about being chosen by the Chief Goddess?”


“I’d worship the Cultivator and start a religion based on him before I would even think about worshipping your Chief Goddess or any of your pantheons…”


“I wouldn’t say such statements so callously, Mr. Crestwell. The gods did create us and made this world-…”


“No, I’m not listening to any derivative of that Creationist dreg that the Ancient Earth’s preachers kept on rattling about. So please save the religious discussions, Sasha.”


“So… a deity contacted you and you had a headache in the process, right? Is being contacted by a Goddess a terrible thing to you?”


“Considering that majority of the deities who are contacting me is sympathizing with the mamonos, yes.”


“Wait, are you saying that the lesser deities of the Heavenly pantheon had switched sides?”


“Elt, unless whatever passes as your Inquisitors are withholding information regarding Poseidon sending down your ships to the sea dwellers and Ares preventing anyone from dying in the field while empowering the monsters that she favors does not clue you in on how alone this Chief Goddess of yours is then I believe that the is doomed to fail and fall in a few years.”


“But… but we’re doing well against the monsters! How can you…”


“That’s because the mamonos are disorganized and most of the time, the Order attacks the softer and easier targets such as undefended mamono villages that are closer to their borders in many occasions. Lescatie will not last a day or so once a Lilim takes interest of turning it into her personal sex parlor and had sent infiltrators to sow DE and discord to the hearts of many who are probably troubled or brought forth an army with Ares’s blessing and Eros’s Cupids at her side. Also, name one former Order territory that became a Demon Realm that the Order had managed to purify and remove its taint.”


*silence*


“Yeah, that’s what I thought your answers will be.”



Entry 78:



We made it back to the campsite after five hours of travelling. Sasha decided to go to her mamono orphanage for a bit in order to give her charges some treats. Elt and Mimiru’s were widened after seeing the portal leading to Haven behind a ring of sandbags and auto-turrets followed by the fancy gadgets and equipment that we’ve set up down there. The two were also shocked when they were greeted by Zyagem at first and more so when they met Primera.


Strangely, the half-elf’s not as angry as she was back then. In fact, she calmed down a lot and started apologizing to the shocked Elt for being abusive to the only person that actually treats her like a person. I think Zyagem and Helios talked to her while I was gone.


Anyway, me and Mimiru were approached the Professor and asked the latter if they were hungry and in need of something to eat. I also told the Professor that I had with me a Dark Angel in a Capture Pod and asked if there’s a containment room to put her in on the other side.


The Professor said yes and added that once I put the captive into the room that I should get back here immediately since he had something important to tell us.



Entry 79:



After I tucked in the unconscious Dark Angel into a nice containment cell next to Arana who looked at me with dark intent in mind, I returned to the other side. Tiberius said that some of the rookies will be back to Haven in five days with another fleet of ships full of refugees from Earth and a lot of resources that they managed to mine and salvage from other planets and asteroid fields.


When I got back to the other side, Mimiru and Helios were done making a solution to Primera’s problem and agreed that the divine energy was easier to remove than DE. Sasha and Elt were talking to Zyagem on the past regarding human and mamono relationships as well as the morality of slaying mamonos. The Professor saw me and dragged me into his tent in order to show me a letter from the village that we stayed into last week.


Mayor Anubis or Hetepheres as she introduced herself in the letter had written on the letter about the Lilim who visited the village. The Lilim in question was Druella, the fourth daughter of the 13th Demon Lord. She was there at the village last week in order to investigate the sightings regarding the Black Demon and intended to bring him back the Demon Realm in order to… convince me. I’d rather not write down what Hetepheres quoted here in regards to what the Lilim said.


Anyway, she said that she also intends to bring Lescatie to the Demon Realm and had sent the servants of the Fallen Goddess and some of her elite cadre of Succubae to spread dissent and prepare the entire nation for conversion. She subtly corrupted some of the outlying human towns that brought food to the city-nation as well. Jeez, if the subtle corruption isn’t going to flip Lescatie, it will be the stuff that they eat that will do the job.


She also said that I should be more careful as Hetepheres had managed to find out from her Werecat assistant, Lyra that the Lilim asked around about what I looked like outside my armor and got a lot of information about my face after some mamono kid babbled about what I looked like along with the Professor.


There’s no point in attacking the said farm towns due to their vicinities being closely guarded by marauding packs of werewolves as we stood by. The best course of action that we could take as she suggested in the letter is to seek out the infiltrators and remove them as the Order, despite being against the mamonos were horribly inept at handling infiltrators.


I asked the Professor on who sent the letter and told me that it was Lyra. The Werecat also left me a message, telling me that I should stay safe and visit the town when I had enough time. She and her friend, Mariska would like to get to know me better and said that the two of them will give me a proper tour around the town as well.


Huh… guess that mamonos crushing on me is going to be expected as I stayed longer in this world.


Helios said that we needed to prepare for the worst to come but problem about that is what kind of preparations do we need to make in order to see us through the worst?

Interlude - The Cultivator, the Consequences and the Human

Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2016 8:46 am

In the vast ocean of stars lies a being.


A being that existed far longer than the concept of life itself…


A being that accumulated many names from many sapient lives witnessed him…


A being that called what was once an empty void his home before the creation…


A being that brought forth life and painted countless worlds with it…


A being that watched the stars glow brighter as it live, learn, grow and die…


A being that thought of his past accomplishments and failures that he had made in the process…


A being that swore to protect life against the malevolent entity that tore an entrance to his home…


A being that fought the entity for millions of years as it destroyed life wantonly…


A being that sprang forth life from the ashes of the destruction that the entity had brought…


A being that sacrificed its own life in order to put an end to the entity’s dark goal…


A being that lies fragmented beside the corpse of the entity that which he had fought…


A being that is known as the Cultivator…


Millions of years had passed since the last battle at a scale that no mortal would be able to measure or describe. Even in his fragmented form, he still watches over his home and look upon the seeds that he had planted across the galaxy that is still recovering from the ravages of the Ruin. He continues to hope that one day, the galaxy once more will not be as almost empty and life will once more flourish but the scars left will take more than just a million years to recover. Luckily, most of the seeds are ignorant of the true extent of what the Ruin had done to the universe.


Sadly, the ignorance of some had caused one last tragedy to happen.


He looked at the Sol System and at the place where the Earth and Terrene Protectorate were once orbiting and acted as a shining beacon of this universe, a sign that the universe is recovering. The world that was once humanity’s cradle now lies in bits and giblets. The dead bodies that were fortunate enough to remain intact floated along with pieces that were once a part of Earth. He can also hear a collection of souls given form, weeping upon the death of his home and the scattering of his people as he gathers the dead from the asteroid belt that was once Earth and bury them in the soils of Mars.


The Cultivator felt great sadness that there is still a part of the entity that lives and sought for destruction and he couldn’t prevent it from happening. The best course of action that he could do is to prevent this fragment of the Ruin from breaking out of Sol by sealing the star system at the cost of himself fragmenting weakening even more. Even now, the fragment thrashes as it tries to leave Sol, only to be repulsed and pushed back to the third orbit. It repeatedly tried to control the mourner as it felt great power from it and hoped to get him to help in breaking free from Sol.


Unfortunately for the fragment, the mourner’s mind was stronger than the human cultists led by the daughter of Esther Bright.


However, the Cultivator knows that his powers are waning as time passes. The cultists are eroding the seal that kept the Ruin in Sol bit by bit. Pushed onward by the vengeful and deluded woman whose misguided dreams of making humanity dominant, she slowly edges all life forward to extinction and destruction. She wouldn’t listen to reason so long as the other races are destroyed and only humans are left. The Cultivator would have shaken its head in shame and disappointment if he wasn’t fragmented as the child continues to endanger his home and not understand what kind of actions that the Ruin had done. Even if the fragment of the Ruin is weak, its capabilities are more than enough to decimate all in its path and destroy planets in a day.


If he could give these wayward humans a piece of his mind, he would have done so by now if his current efforts were not tied to preventing the Ruin from escaping the Sol.


In the other news, he felt a human opening a gate to the other realities that may or may not exist. While he haven’t opened the other options seen on the gate the moment it scanned his mind, the Cultivator knows that there are chances that things that are from another dimension might possibly end up in his home.


As of now, he felt an insignificant number of malevolent emotional entities who entered this realm and tried to attack a peaceful village of many Avian outcasts, only to end up turning into liquid Erchius before it could even reach the gate guards. There are planets that he did not remember creating that ended up in the far corners of the galaxy. While many are still evolving, some of them are already filled with sapient life. Those sapient lives are sometimes humans as well, only extremely different compared to the ones that grew within his home. One group of humans from a different dimension had landed on a moon of an unexplored system after their ships had failed them. They are currently running as fast as their feet could take them as the invincible Erchius Ghost had found them as one of their numbers had pocketed a piece of the Ruin, dooming his companions to death unless they have trace of Erchius fragments on their bodies removed. A race of sapient raptor nomads from a different dimension had finally left their newly implanted home planet and explored the galaxy around them, confused on why their star charts had changed.


Countless vessels and objects from other dimensions started to appear and disappear within his realm after the young man had activated the Gateway’s other function. Some who are stranded are struggling to traverse the universe due to the lack of a certain aspect that requires their drives to work. Some of those are already activating their beacons as their ship came to a full stop after their FTL drives malfunctioned. Others just crash landed on a planet closest to them and began to hunker in the hopes of rescue from their respective factions from another dimension.


Unfortunately for the last, they are trapped in this realm.


The Cultivator felt the sharp presence of the cultists who are once more eroding the barriers bit by bit. The deluded one that led them continues to goad them in doing so as she searched the Hylotl’s Sunken Library for the artifact that will lead to the Heart of the Ruin. She intends to destroy it in the hopes of seeing the galaxy cleansed of all life other than the humans. She believes everything that the fragment continues to whisper in her ears of the false promises of the universe being brought to the humans in a platter once she fully unleashes the Ruin. Her obsession on putting her race as the rulers of the stars will be the downfall of the remaining seeds of the galaxy.


He hopes that the girl and her companions can stop her mad dreams as she descends along with her comrades to the Library. He doesn’t know how long until the Hylotl who had hid with the artifact will be found by the deluded one but the Cultivator hopes that the defenses will hold until his relief arrives as soon as possible.

Entry 80:



We broke down the news about Druella wanting to invade Lescatie at a later date to our camp’s guest as well as the fact that she’s been sending DE contaminated food and inserting spies and saboteurs all over the city for some time. If one were to say that they’ve reacted poorly upon that statement was an understatement of the year. Elt wanted to warn the higher ups about Druella’s plan on Lescatie but Primera held him back. The half elf said that the command will most likely ignore him due to the fact that they stubbornly believe that Lescatie is impregnable. Mimiru also agreed with her in a bitter mannerism, adding her input on how incompetent the government of Lescatie is currently and the fact that a low rank soldier like him will not be able to turn heads despite having important information on the future invasion.


Sasha’s probably the best person whom the idiots might listen to since she is a Hero but the main problem will be what the Order will do if they did take her words. Showing off the evidences that there are infiltrators in Lescatie will end up with those morons going public on the execution and thus getting Druella’s attention. Not to mention the fact that she looked really hesitant about dealing with mamono infiltrators.


I remembered that she’s also a mamono sympathizer within the rank of the Order’s Heroes. She’s the one who is responsible of getting mamonos marked for execution to be released and friendly mamono villages to be evacuated early before they were attacked and invaded by the Lescatian army.


Taking prisoners will not be a good option to consider due to the fact that there’s not enough space at the Academy’s containment rooms to take in the possibly numerous infiltrators so I might end up getting my hands dirty on this. Prof. Helios told me that I should at least make it quick and painless if I had to execute them, something that got Sasha disconcerted on the fact that someone who looked like Elt is considering murder as a solution.


As for the food contamination problem however, Prof. Helios had an idea and asked me if it’s possible to get more people for this solution. I told him yes for his question and said to me that he’ll contact my seniors and some of the Haven’s residents for this prospect. He said that it we’re going to start a food business at Lescatie in the next few days or so.



Audio Log 5:



“I’m sorry Sasha but those infiltrators need to be dealt with as quickly as possible before they could compromise the defenses of Lescatie.”


“Can’t you just use that magical artifact of yours to contain them instead like what you had done to the Dark Angel last night?”


“We don’t have enough space to contain another prisoner, Sasha. Not to mention the fact that the Evergreen refugees-…”


“Wait, Evergreen refugees?”


“We rescued them all a few weeks ago, Folmoon and I had to commit an atrocity just to nail it into the Amazons’ slaving heads that we don’t want them.”


“No… how many were killed?”


“Almost three quarters of their population judging by the statistics that a brave kid who scouted their camp gave to us. A lot of mothers and sisters lay dead in pieces or in ashes by the time they decided to retreat.”


“But… but…”


“There’s a difference between a peaceful Holstaurus and an Amazon slaver, Sasha. Also, what gives the Amazons the right to get off free from tearing families apart and enslaving men with their bodies? Why should I give mercy towards the mamonos who intends to destroy lives and families in order to complete theirs?”


“That’s cruel…”


“Unfortunately for us, it must be cruel enough to get the message through. While I don’t mind mamono in general and would leave them alone if they are not doing anything dangerous to humans, that wouldn’t mean that I’m more than happy to ignore the dangerous ones. If anything, I’d rather fight the ones who are actively attacking humans and converting them to mamonos by force than to point my gun on a mamono who are not even participating in such acts.”



Entry 81:



Sasha decided to spend the night at the mamono orphanage along with Elt and Mimiru. She tried to invite Primera but the half-elf said that she’ll stay at the camp in order to help out on the Professor’s research. Zyagem wanted to see what the mamono children looked like and decided to come along with the three. Looks like me, Helios and Primera are the only ones manning the campsite.


Tiberius contacted us and said that Shin and Annabelle, the two rookies that came along with me as we explored some parts of our solar system had found a derelict ship and a lot of dead humans on an Erchius moon at a radioactive star system. They found it after they’ve detected a short range beacon that they didn’t recognize at all. They said that they’ll be towing the ship and the remains back to Haven since everything from that derelict looks too different to be considered designed by humans and we might be able to make some heads and tails about the identity of the ships.



Entry 82:



The sun rose and my former captain, a Glitch named Steelbolt came through the portal wearing his white Templar Armor along with eight horse pulled caravans full of Haven’s excess produce and trinkets and a dozen and half of Evergreen villagers who volunteered to drive the cart and act as the caravan guards and merchants from a very far country. I asked the Professor if this plan will even work since they’re bound to get curious about where we’re drawing out the stuff that we’ll be giving to the Lescatians.


Steelbolt told me that they won’t be curious about us after showing me chests that are labeled “gifts” and filled to the brim with jewelries, gold and silver crafts, cosmetics, perfumes, dyes and vanities. Cultivator man, we’re technically bribing the higher ups in order to keep Lescatians safe from turning just by eating DE corrupted food and play as a secretive Demon Hunter while the rest of the city-nation’s too distracted with the newcomers and the wares that they are selling.


When the three Lescatians and Zyagem returned to our camp, they were surprised to see a huge caravan train and asked what’s going on. When we filled them in on what’s the caravans were for, Sasha, Mimiru and Elt were rather appalled at how we’re going to outright bribe the upper echelons in order to save Lescatie. Zyagem however, chuckled at the thoughts of us being devious enough to use generosity as a weapon to stop Druella’s plans and approved of it.


Mimiru decided to stay in the forest and sent a notice to Magitec that she was off to do some field research along with Primera. Elt and Sasha came along with the caravan since our destination’s the same.


Steelbolt told the Professor that his orders for certain equipment were going to take a while before it arrives. Helios nodded and at what my former captain said before he bade us good luck on our “business ventures” at Lescatie.



Entry 83:



When we made it back to Lescatie’s gate, we were asked with a lot of questions regarding our purpose here and inspected the caravans for its content. One of the guards recognized me as the guy who had beaten up the Inquisition-esque thugs a few days ago. He asked if I was a hero since what I’ve done to thugs had not been something that any regular civilian could have done. I told him no on the account that I’m not a part of the Order to be considered as a hero to begin with.


Vass, one of the Evergreen volunteers who is also the acting leader of the merchant caravan asked one of the guards if we could also get a permission to meet up with the leaders of Lescatie in order to ask permission from them to do business in their city-state. The head gatekeeper said that we might end up waiting for a while but Sasha used her authority as a hero to shorten the waiting period. Elt commented about Sasha’s authority and how bullshit it was.



Entry 84:



So we went to the Inner Sanctum of Lescatie.


Steelbolt, Vass, and I were the ones who were elected to be the negotiators of Lescatian King whose name I couldn’t care to remember. Sasha, Elt and some other soldiers are acting as our escort. The Inner Sanctum’s pretty much the place where the important figures of the city-nation dwell and work. The entire place is quite lavish too as we pass by the residences and offices that were designed to look quite pretty.


I can also imagine the amount of raw materials wasted on these expensive buildings that could have been used to improve the impoverished areas such as the slums.


Vass looked impressed though since this is the first time he set foot in a first class area that is usually reserved to the nobility. I, on the other hand am not impressed at all. Then again, I am rather biased when it comes to architecture and preferred my houses to look modern and utilitarian.



Entry 85:



So we’ve met the king and queen of Lescatie and the royal court today at the most gaudiest castle that I’ve ever seen. Despite the hospitality and politeness that they’ve shown, these are the same neglectful monsters that ignored their sickly daughter for a long time as they considered her a liability. I’m going to make sure that Francisca will be out of these people’s clutches. We were treated with a ceremonial welcome to their kingdom and introduction to the other people who are part of their little band of rulers and bureaucrats at the court as we are considered as newcomers of this land.


Vass and I did the talking since Steelbolt’s speech patterns might get them suspicious. I spotted Wilmarina along with the bastard who made Elt’s life miserable for befriending her daughter. As if talking to these horrible and zealous people hasn’t disgusted me to a great degree, they didn’t even dare to ask where we actually came from and accepted the fact that we’re from the far lands.


She also stared for a bit at Elt, who was talking casually with her fellow Hero Sasha in a casual manner with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.


By the end of formalities and gifting event (courtesy of us), we were finally given permission to do business within the village without scrutiny. Oh and the king absolved me of my crimes involving the Inquisitorial thugs and resisting arrest as I am seen as a part of the so-called “Merchants of the Haven”.



Entry 86:



I bribed one of the castle’s guards with tons of gold in order to give me every bit of information that we could get on Castle Lescatie’s floor plans, patrol routes and schematics. These things are going to be useful once I break into the castle and administer the medicine that Francisca badly needs.



Entry 87:



The food caravans from the said towns had finally arrived at the other side of the city-nation. I went there as fast as possible in order to confirm what Hetepheres told us in her letter. I had to silence my Geiger counter in order to keep it from attracting too much attention. I won’t be able to stop the convoy from distributing the food without casting a lot of suspicion or ire so it looks like we’ll have step up our efforts in monopolizing the food business ourselves.



Entry 88:



I roamed around the slums and secretly activated my DE Detector there.


There were three mamono signatures that were found there. I called my ex-captain to help me out in disposing the infiltrators that were hiding there. We also had to do it in the middle of the night as well to prevent anyone from seeing us.



Entry 89:



The two Succubae thought that Steelbolt and I were easy pickings. Sadly, I’m not affected by their charms and Steelbolt’s a robot. We stunned them both and stuffed them inside a capture pod for disposal once we’re outside the walls. The last signature was hidden in one of the houses at the slums and we’re off to see them.



Entry 90:



We had not expected this kind of thing.


The last mamono in the slums, a Succubus to be precise was attending a sick man who is suffering on what seems to be a plague. She nearly blasted my head off with her demon magic had I not covered my head with a buckler. She blocked the sick man with her body and threatened us with violence while asking us on how we found her. We didn’t want to risk it since there was a pasty skinned sick man in the room and thus we told her to calm the hell down. We promised her that we won’t hurt them if she told us about Druella’s infiltrators.


According to the Succubus that goes by the name of Mirr was sent here to infiltrate Lescatie along with 30 other mamonos in order to prepare the city-nation for conversion. They were ordered to spread the DE as subtly as possible and find women who had emotional problems and offer them a deal that they will take. The Dark Angels that came along with them were tasked to slowly cut off their contact with the Chief Goddess and replace it with the Fallen Goddess instead.


The Dark Angels were easy to find as they were hidden in shrines, orphanages and churches. The rest of the infiltrators however, were going to be a challenge due to how spread out they were across the city-state.


We asked her why is she not doing what the others was doing since her signature only stayed inside the room while the other two were all over the streets of the slums. It turned out that she was taking care of the sick guy since last week and skipped out of what she was supposed to do. She’s also having doubts about the plan that her mistress had laid down as well since her time spent on taking care of the sick guy.


Huh, guess that mamonos are different in terms of personality.


I asked her to give me a permission to administer some medicine on the poor guy after he started having some coughing fits with blood coming out of his mouth. Mirr immediately agreed without any question after the guy started calling out people that were not here and begging Mirr to help them.


I took out two syringes from the storage and told Mirr and Steelbolt to prepare on restraining the guy. The syringes had red liquids inside it that can improve a person’s immune system if it’s not used as a healing stim pack. However, applying the stim pack for the first time will usually cause its user to violently twitch a lot, which is why I told the two to restrain and gag him. When I applied it on the guy, he thrashed and shook on his bed and while speaking in gibberish, a good sign that the stim’s working its way inside the guy’s body. Mirr shouted at me for what I did to the guy but I told her to look at the results of what I did to him as his skin is starting to have color again and his breathing starts to normalize.


We told her that she and her husband (she blushed on that part since she hasn’t done the marriage part yet) must leave Lescatie in disguise and never look back. She thanked us and promised that she will not tell anyone anything about our little operation within Lescatie, not even to her former boss. We left the slum afterwards, knowing that there are 26 infiltrators left to find.


The two Succubus infiltrators that we had captured were taken out of the city walls and executed at the darker parts of the forest via pistol fire. We covered their bodies with iron blocks to ensure that they won’t be coming out as DE revived zombies and buried them ten feet below the ground.



Entry 91:



I decided to stay at the headquarters that we had built near the slums along with Vass as the caravans left in order to restock at Haven. Professor contacted me and said that Mimiru is making a lot of progress on removing the divine blessings out of Primera’s system. He also said that there were some of the orphanage’s mamono kids that came by at the campsite and hung around there in order to play around. Helios didn’t mind so long as they did not touch any of the equipment there.


Vass and I decided to talk about how they are doing back at Haven since we’re closed for the time being due to having no food left to sell.



Audio Log 6:



“Hmmm… Now that you’ve mentioned it, we Evergreeners are still adapting to what you people have back at your place. Being able to draw out water from those faucet things and having lights that are not using fire and all thanks to the elector-magic thing your people have.”


“Its electricity, Vass and it’s not magic.”


“Right, right, the electricity... It’s also amazing how your houses are warm despite not having any furnace and them being made of metal and glass.”


“Actually, there’s more to it than just metal and glass, Vass. We used wood, concrete and other materials to build our places.”


“Huh, guess that building a house just got more complex in the future, eh?”


“In a way, that’s pretty much what happened.”


“Still, while we’re glad about not living near a forest full of Amazon mamonos, we’re still having some trouble adjusting with your erm… other residents.”


“You mean the non-humans?”


“Yes, the non-humans that are living with you. In some cases, one of us gets into an argument with them for calling them monsters that it sometimes ends in a brawl between some of us troublemaking Evergreeners and the non-humans.”


“Jeez, what else is your problem with the non-humans?”


“Well, aside from mistaking them for being monsters, not much else as of now. Some of the kids are curious about them and usually play around with their kids as well once their school’s done. Heck, the Glitch friend of yours and myself usually go and drink a few rounds back at the Haven’s tavern.”


“Ah, well that’s good at least… wait, we have a Tavern now?”


“Yeah, one of my mates decided to open one using the designs of them Novakid’s bars. It’s quite popular too once the night hits. You should go there as well once you get back to Haven since its owner, Kayleth wanted to treat you a few rounds for saving everyone from the Amazons, including her.”


“Huh, very well, I’ll check the place out once we’re done here.”


“Also, about that Amazon that you’ve locked up in your Academy, are you sure about taking that sort of action?”


“You mean the Amazon teenager that Helios is currently studying?”


“Yeah, that. She’s not spreading the taint, is she?”


“Nope, her taint’s only staying in one place actually. It turns out that Demonic Energy isn’t getting out of her body no matter what. We still need more subjects to test on though.”


“Huh?”


“It’s a scientific thing, pal. Helios can explain it better than I am if you asked him about that.”



Entry 92:



Wilmarina visited our shop and saw me without my disguise. She looked shocked before she ran away from the site. Vass asked what was wrong with the Order, putting barely legal teenagers out on the field as Heroes. I decided to give chase to the hero after I put on my disguise.



Entry 93:



I couldn’t find her anywhere, Cultivator was she fast.


On the flip side, I bumped into Merse’s eight man squad with Elt in it. The eye patched woman recognized me despite my disguise and dragged me along with them to a nearby tavern. She said that since I managed to bring Elt back to Lescatie safe and made him tad more eager in his job that she’ll be treating me with a couple of alcoholic rounds… oh and they also wanted to give me a proper Lescatian welcome.


I tried to say no but Merse and the four of her companions insisted since they want to see how much I can hold my alcohol. Elt apologized about his comrades’ eagerness as we were dragged to their favorite tavern.



Entry 94:



Cultivator damn it… it’s a good thing that I can hold my alcohol well or else Merse would have had a hard time dragging her squad and my ass back to the barracks.


So after we tucked her men in their beds, Merse took out another bottle of alcohol and some glasses in order to drink some more. She also asked me if I had some time to spare. Well, I could always sneak into Castle Lescatie at any given time anyway and I’d rather not get Druella too suspicious about us taking out more of her infiltrators.


Besides, this is an opportunity for me to give Merse some life lessons regarding women anyway.



Entry 95:



Well, I may not have convinced her completely on that matter but at least it got her thinking. She may have grown up in a shitty household and her mother was terrible but that doesn’t mean that she might end up becoming a horrible woman in the process.



Entry 96:



The caravan’s back so soon. They also brought in more food and delicacies as well. I saw a lot of the Lescatian poor who lived next to us lining up and preparing to buy our shit. I’ll let Vass and the others handle the sales, I’m off to explore Lescatie again to look for the infiltrators’ hidey holes.



Entry 97:



Cultivator-damn it all… I should ask Helios if he could make another DE Detector that isn’t too flashy in detecting mamonos. My Geiger counter went insane at the town square and the cathedral at broad daylight. There were a lot of people down there that using my DE Detector would have caused a lot of panicking.


And a lot of panicking people will attract Druella’s attention.


I’ll just come back for these mamonos later on.



Entry 98:



I’ve heard a rumor as I passed by the marketplace and from a gossiping maidservant from the castle that the “load” is making more noise as usual from her room. They added that it was getting annoying to take care of the “load” and couldn’t wait for her to finally succumb to her disease.


I had to restrain myself from causing a ruckus and slap that person’s face. Looks like the mamono hunt will have to wait for a while. I have a sick princess to visit tonight.



Audio Log 7:



“What the hell…”


“*cough* who… Who’s there?”


“I… I’m just passing by the neighborhood until I’ve heard you and your rather loud coughing and choking.”


“Are… are you one of the… new servants…”


“Um… not really, kiddo…”


“*more coughing* Uuurgh… I don’t think… that you should stay here…”


“Hmmmm… Actually, I’m here to help you with your health problems.”


“I see… I don’t… I don’t think that you could help… me… *coughing*”


“Sure I can, watch me.”


“What… what is that?”


“You’ll feel a little prick in your arm.”


“What- HWAARH-! *gagged*”


*weak thrashing*


“10… 9… 8…”


*more weak thrashing and moaning*


“7… 6… 5…”


*even more weak thrashing and barely audible moaning*


“4…”


*less weak thrashing*


“3…”


*breathing lightly*


“2…”


*no more thrashing and moaning*


“1…”


“What… what just happened? I… my body feel a lot lighter now.”


“Glad to know that the medicine works fast. You sounded like you were undergoing in a hell lot of pain kid. I can’t just leave you here, slowly suffering from it without feeling a little guilty about it so I applied some medicine to your blood and strengthen your body a bit more in order to make it healthier. By the end of the next day, you’ll be able to walk around normally, no longer bedridden and sickly.”


“I… uh… I… don’t know what to say. No one has ever done this for me in my miserable life… Not even my father and mother would bother to send an Apothecary to help me.”


“Wow… what a bunch of shitty parents you have… how long did they left you in this condition again?”


“About… Eleven years…”


“I swear to the Cultivator that I’ll leave them along with every servant in this forsaken castle for Druella to diddle around with if she ever invades Lescatie.”


“Mister… while I’m grateful for what you did to me… I still don’t think that I’ll be able… able to make use of this… not only am I the Load to my family and my family’s servant… but I’m also alone and worthless… *sobbing*”


“No.”


“Excuse me…”


“You’re not alone… not anymore… *helmet removed*”


“E… Elt… Is that you?”


“Not quite so, Princess… *item summoning* However, I could get you in touch with your childhood friend with this gadget.”


*click*


“Hello? Grey? Is that you?”


“Elt…”


“What the… Who’s with you, Grey?”


“Elt, remember what I’ve said about getting you into contact with one of your childhood friends from a long time ago? You know, a certain fourth princess who was isolated and alone for a long time up to now?”


“Elt… It’s me… Franny, don’t you remember me?”


“Franny, by the Goddess you look different! How are you doing?”


“*sobbing* I thought you disappeared forever… *sniff*”


“I’m sorry Franny… I got into a bad situation and-…”


“I’ll leave the two of you to get acquainted. *transforming sounds*”



Entry 99:



I added some sound proofing tech to keep Francisca and Elt’s voice from getting heard outside of her room. I also left an instructions note on her bedside table and a letter that contains my request to keep her gift, her revitalized health, the events that happened this night and the Black Knight that visited her a secret to everyone. I’ll probably visit her again in order to give her a lesson on how horrible the people that she’s staying with. For now, I am quite elated on the fact that I gave Francisca Mistel Lescatie the happiness that she would not have gotten in both pre and post corruption.


Well, I had enough time to spare for today so I might as well pick up the mamonos that I found.

Very nice, some errors with the tenses ( all of the logs should be past tense.) My only problem is Francisca, I cannot believe she allowed herself to be treated like that and even more so that no-one in the castle helped her. I suppose that is what is supposed to make her transformation good, but to me it just makes her look like she needed a crutch to stand up for herself, not very realistic. Either way, great work and I will watch this thread. I hope you spare some time for my own stories.

The saddest thing about the entire thing regarding Francisca is that her rather poor treatment and the general lack of self-esteem is canon. Combine it with the loss of the two people who actually gave a shit about her and everyone inside Castle Lescatie treating her like that to the point that if she had enough strength, she would have committed suicide until she had met Druella. I'm just following the pre-corruption profile fluff regarding her anyway.

Besides, Francisca will not take what they did without giving them a piece of her mind anyway.

Entry 100:



I kind of forgot to write something after I got busy with all the stuff going on around me.


Anyway, two weeks ago, I’ve managed to uproot eleven more infiltrators within Lescatie, five Succubae, three Doppelgangers, one Dark Angel and two Cait Siths. The last one was quite hard due to them pretending as mundane cats that were extremely loyal to Druella. Dealing with them was terrible, to begin with, thanks to them being cats who were masquerading as pets of a street beggar who had nothing but his two cats and the clothes on his back.


I’d rather not write down what I did in order to get him to fork over the Cait Siths.


They were a bitch to find by the way due to how their hiding places were spread out across the city-nation that I needed to ramble from one place to another during daytime just to look for any disturbances on the Geiger counter and then we do the extermination part at nighttime. It doesn’t help that while the place where we “Merchants” are selling our shit is clean, a quarter of the city-nation’s already pinging weakly on my counter after the DE irradiated food was distributed. Stronger signals could be DE food stored in one place or a human who ate enough of that stuff and only needs a shove to go mamono instead of a mamono infiltrator’s hideout.


Alerting the morons back at Castle Lescatie of DE food poisoning might end up causing a widespread panic and the loss of lives in the process of stifling the corruption. It will be loud and obnoxious enough that Druella will see it from afar and begin her invasion before she loses her subtle initiative. Hetepheres’ recent letter to us pretty much showed us that she was playing for keeps as she starts gathering a bunch of mamonos and riling up her remaining infiltrators to pump out some more DE. Zyagem was upset (understatement) when Druella’s army also included Dragon Zombies and intends to put her zombified people to rest once they showed up. She also added that she also compromised more towns around Lescatie in order to prevent uncorrupted humans from escaping.


She even sent a sketched map that spoke in great volume on how fucking screwed Lescatie is. Aside from the western side, Lescatie’s surrounded by DE corrupted areas, marauding werewolves and towns acting as fronts where one of them might be the place where the fourth daughter waits with the rest holding a number of mamonos preparing for the big fat speed date/invasion day. It wouldn’t matter if we managed to hold her off and had the shiniest shit in the block if she could simply drown us in numbers.


Steelbolt started digging a very long tunnel and tram system underneath our shop that will lead close to the campsite if ever the invasion happens. I did my part on the preparations as well and started planting hidden speakers across Lescatie. We had also renovated our place in order to accommodate more customers within our shop and set up hidden defense turrets and fortifications around the vicinity that will pop out at the click of a button. I asked Sasha five days ago if she knew anyone who was good with hunting mamonos as discretely as possible. She told me about the Amanomiya clan from Zipangu and their exploits on hunting down monsters. I asked her which part of Zipangu they lived before I asked the Professor if he could fly to Zipangu via shuttle and retrieve one of them at least.


Speaking of Sasha, I already informed Sasha and Elt about Druella’s army build up. Elt was shocked about how fast the Lilim was and Sasha got extremely worried after hearing about this. I also got the two introduced to the rest of the Merchants and included them both in making the escape plan. I also told them both to get as many people that they could trust to keep this plan silent to come over to our shop so that we could debrief them on what will happen in the near future. Coordination will be needed here if we want to keep the rest of Lescatie from getting corrupted by that nutty Lilim.


In other news, we sold our stuff like hotcakes and had expanded our wares to include clothes and toys. The kids here loved the miniatures, action figures and dolls that we sold to them at a very low price and we had some nobles from the Inner Sanctum coming over to request a custom made clothing of their choice. The latter actually went down to our shop after Vass told one of them that they will only take their request only if they themselves would come over to our place to place the orders in person.


They really liked the way we made our clothes after one of the Evergreener’s clothes got touched by a noblewoman who has a taste for such things.


Francisca’s health had been put at a normal level now and with her continued interaction with Elt via communicators, her mind will recover as well from Cultivator knows how many years of neglect that she had gone through. Seriously, if her situation happened on the other side of the Gateway, the Protectorate’s Child Welfare Division would have been so up their asses and they would have taken Francisca away from their custody faster than they could say divine rights.


Mimiru and Helios gave Primera a clean bill of her after being free of her Divine Blessings… not that the damned thing would have helped if the canon events regarding her had happened. She also handed over her resignation letter and told her CO that she was done with being a hero. She saw Elt and told him that if he had time, she would appreciate it if he would visit her whenever he could.


Mimiru herself had also decided to hand her letter of her going on a research expedition of some sort to a place far away. Her superiors also asked why she would undertake such a thing since losing the Archer Hero was a huge blow at this point to the Lescatian Military. Mimiru told them that she had found a lead in regards to countering the Demonic Energy and needed more data in order to complete her research. What Magitec didn’t know was that the true reason behind Mimiru’s decision was because of Zyagem managing to convince her that Lescatie’s no longer worth it and that the entire place is as good as doomed after Hetepheres’ letter. They tried to stall the decision but we gave Mimiru a “magical artifact” (an Ore Detector that we’ve skinned to look older and ancient looking to be precise) and gave it to her superiors as her parting gift/bribe to smoothen her retirement.


They were all over the “magical artifact” after that and started singing her praises.


Sasha’s no longer hearing any deities after what I did to the Dark Angels. It’s a good thing too since the Fallen God hijacks the Hero’s link to a deity and corrupts them to become their Dark Priestesses. I also had to visit all the Cathedrals, Monasteries, Parochial Schools and Holy Sites here in Lescatie though. There might be a Dark Angel hiding in one of them and I needed to get rid of them before they could transform the people there who might have a connection to the deities.


Merse is starting to get the idea that while her mother was the epitome of human garbage, she’s not like her and she will never become her even if she did accept the fact that she’s a woman. I told her some of the stories of my probably late batch mates who had it just as bad as her and still came out all right just to convince her that she’s better than her mother.


Cultivator, I sure hope that my meddling with the MGE’s timeline in regards to Lescatie will not end up biting my ass. The core players of the Fall of Lescatie are slowly changing and I might end up facing something even worse.



Entry 101:



Tiberius called and said that he’s sending Wells and Ironjaw over at Steelbolt’s request. He needed more people to help out in building the tram system and there were only two rookies available for the job. Zyagem and Mimiru were surprised when they saw the Novakid since he’s an energy being who wasn’t even burning his clothes.



Entry 102:



The inhabitants of Castle Lescatie found out about their fourth daughter being hale and healthy... well, they found out after the said daughter finally had enough of the mistreatment when a maid dropped her food tray on purpose and verbally told her that she sucked. She basically raged at them and disowned all of her family and relatives and after that, stormed out of the castle on her own while tearing off the royal insignia and tiara off of her. The entire city-nation went into an upheaval after that spectacle.


I immediately found Francisca an hour later at an alley where she hid from the castle guards who were after her. I gave her clothes that would conceal her identity and brought her back to our shop. Vass and some of the Evergreeners had a heart attack after recognizing who she was. I escorted her to our campsite/Gateway through the tunnel that my ex-captain made. She also called Elt in order to calm him down after receiving an order to bring her back to Castle Lescatie.



Entry 103:



Great, Hetepheres sent us another letter that told us how interested Druella is on Francisca as well. There were also stories circulated within Druella’s camp that the Lilim herself monologues on what she plans specifically to the angry fourth princess of Lescatie when she got her hands on her. None of those plans were SFW for that matter.


Good thing I’ve stashed Francisca in our camp where she and Mimiru was getting acquainted with Zyagem as I wrote this entry.



Entry 104:



Professor Helios got back from his trip to Zipangu and brought with him Koyoi Amanomiya and her sister back at the camp. From what I remember from the Fallen Maidens fluff, Koyoi’s a youkai hunter who was trained from her childhood and raised in a typical unintentionally abusive household.


You know the kind that forces you to conform to what they want you to be because of honor and tradition, even if it means your life getting sucked out and wasted? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that the Chief Goddess and some god of depression are getting off on the huge amount of human misery going on around the world.


I also noticed that Helios also brought with him another Amanomiya and that she’s bandaged all over. I asked what happened to her and Koyoi told me that she needed medical attention. Helios said that there was an internal civil war that happened when he got to the Amanomiya estate and he promised to get her and her sister away from her family for good in exchange for her services as a youkai hunter.


Oh and Helios added that I owe him a lot for this since he went through a lot of shit just to get them out before he escorted Tenshi, Koyoi’s older sister to Haven and get her to a proper clinic to fix her up.


Koyoi asked me to escort her back to Lescatie so that she may begin her job.



Entry 105:



Lescatie’s still rattled about Francisca running away and leaving her home. The poor folks sympathize with the fourth princess and hopes that she won’t be found by her family. Nobles related to her started caring about her wellbeing once she bit back at them. King Lescatie is using his royal guards to comb the entire place for any scrap of information regarding her fourth daughter.


Heh, too late about that, you bastard…


Elt and Merse were the ones who met us at the city gates since the ones that manned the gates before were fired after they reported that no one got past them. Merse asked who my friend was and Koyoi… well… she had a slip of tongue and told her that there were mamono infiltrators within Lescatie.


Elt and I had to cover her mouth and told her to come to our shop at night and bring her soldiers with her. We’ll tell her everything about the infiltrators and what’s happening to Lescatie.



Audio Log 8:



Merse: “… what the hell were those twigs back at Magitec doing?! How could they even let this shit happen in the first place?”


Soldier 1: “Goddess… what do we do? The damned Lilim infected the food that we eat and some of us might be-…”


Vass: “Don’t worry, your food came from us since we usually have your folks back at your barracks buy from us since day one.”


Soldier 2: “Thank the small mercies! I thought I was going to become some freaky monster just by eating bread.”


Merse: “It still doesn’t change the fact that a quarter of Lescatie’s corrupted and that there are infiltrators everywhere within my home, transforming some of our countrymen to monsters without their consent.” *table banging* “What should we do about this?”


Grey: “We won’t be able to do jack shit about the DE corruption. That stuff’s never going to come off after what Druella did and there’s a huge army waiting for a go signal from the infiltrators that the speed date is a go.”


Soldier 1: “Speed date?”


Grey: “It’s a thing back at Haven. Anyway, while we won’t be able to stop the invasion thanks to her Dragon Zombies…”


Soldier 3: “Dragon Zombies?! You’re joking, right?”


Grey: “No I’m not. My sources told me that the Lilim’s gathering a lot of them. Back to the topic, we won’t be able to stop the invasion but we can prevent the Lilim from increasing the mamono population with Lescatian citizens and make sure that she’ll bleed when she invades Lescatie.”


Merse: “So, we’re evacuating as many of our people to a safe place eh? There’s a problem about that, however.”


Elt: “Ma’am?”


Merse: “On our west is a monster realm that stretches so vast that chances are that you’ll end up corrupting the rest of the human evacuees that we’ll be taking out of the city. The other exits are technically blocked by that white-winged freak’s dogs and the towns there are technically monster realms at this point. Where in the Chief Goddess’ tits will we take them if the surrounding areas around us are Demon Realms?”


*silence*


Sasha: “Grey… do you intend to do what you had done to Evergreen.”


Soldier 2: Evergreen… Wait a minute… Ma’am, are you saying that this merchant is…


*armor equipped*


Grey: “Yeah, I’m the Black Knight that saved Evergreen.”


Merchant: “And we’re the Evergreeners that he had saved a month ago.”


*chattering*


Merse: “Holy… I’ve been drinking with a rogue hero for two weeks?!”


Grey: “Druella’s looking for me as well and I’d rather not attract too much attention by wearing my armor all the time.”


Koyoi: “So the speculations among the mamonos of Zipangu and the Cult of Eros of the Black Demon being a human are true then… Beneath the darkened steel and pale blue light, a human lies within.”


Grey: “Let’s get back to the current issues in hand. We need to plan an organized evacuation and make sure that Druella’s infiltrators will not do any more damage inside Lescatie.”



Entry 106:



I woke up late in the morning after spending all night on planning. Koyoi decided to walk around Lescatie with Sasha coming alongside her in order to look for the mamono infiltrators.



Entry 107:



The escape tunnel’s nearly complete according to Steelbolt. They still have to rig the entire place in order to prevent the mamonos from using the place.



Entry 108:



The Lescatian Higher Ups were still running around like headless chickens. They didn’t expect Francisca to act like this (thanks to me teaching her how to get angry) and leave them for good. Also, after a month of silence, the deities of the MGE world started talking to me again. This time, it was Eros.


She said that she knew what I did and she intends to put a stop on what I’m doing while telling me that I shouldn’t “close my heart” to the mamonos who only wants to be loved.


Yeah, you can try, you date rape deity.



Entry 109:



There are only ten infiltrators left in Lescatie. Koyoi works fast and her extermination methods were more effective that what I do. She pretty much assassinated five Dark Angels and five Succubae on her own in broad daylight and without even alerting the human population. I really need to ask her if she’s interested in helping us on our research on magic once we get back to Haven.


She also sent a false signal to Druella, telling the Lilim that her infiltrators went on a honeymoon with their newlywed husbands. Hopefully, she bites the bait on why her infiltrators are not responding to her.



Entry 110:



Elt told me a story on how he bumped into a really distraught Wilmarina during his night patrol. He told me that the Heroine looked extremely depressed as she walked around the streets. When he got her attention, Wilmarina started to cry on his shoulder and repeatedly apologized to him for what had happened in the past.


Elt listened to his childhood friend as she listed her failings as a friend to both him and Francisca and how she missed them both. She didn’t want to be a hero anymore after seeing Francisca storm out of the castle and disappear from the public. She was jealous of the fact that Sasha, Merse, Mimiru and even Primera had more freedom in talking to the people that they actually liked than her. She couldn’t take her family and the years of being browbeaten into becoming their tool for their political agenda anymore.


In other words, she was broken all over from the inside and she’s pretty much lost it.


Wilmarina didn’t want to go back to the Inner Sanctum and Elt asked Sasha to let her stay at her place for the time being. He really didn’t know what to do with her and asked if there was a way to help her in her emotional turmoil.


I suggested to him that he should talk to her and maybe get her in touch with Francisca.



Entry 111:



FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.


GODDAMNIT MURPHY!


WHY NOW?!


The remaining mamono infiltrators panicked and left Lescatie after one of their numbers saw us capturing the last Dark Angel and alerted her people. Koyoi didn’t like the fact that they escaped since they’re likely to alert Druella now. I immediately sent a message to everyone that Druella’s about to come.



Entry 112:



At dawn, Mimiru and Primera came back to Lescatie via an underground tunnel. Both of them were armed to the bone and looked incredibly prepared to fight. Sasha, Elt, and Merse along with the soldiers that collaborated with us went off in order to get into position. Francisca wanted to come but Helios told her that she doesn’t have enough combat capabilities to assist. Zyagem decided to stay at the camp until the invasion starts. Erica and Rattan came as well to act as a rearguard along with Ironjaw and Wells. Steelbolt and I are pretty much preparing our weapons as well as the shop’s defenses for the invasion. The Evergreeners elected to stay and help in the evacuation process.


Helios made an improvement on the DE Detector that will allow it to scan farther and keep the mamonos or the corrupted humans glowing for a longer period of time.


I can hear the bells ringing across the city while I’m writing this as well as people panicking and shouting outside… oh, crap.



Entry 113:



The purple sky that was slowly approaching the North, South and Eastern side of the city…


Flying mamonos ranging from Dark Valkyries, Black Harpies and Dragon Zombies who are carrying Dark Matters with them…


Craptons of Werewolves, Ogres, Amazons and Dullahans charging in…


Myself hearing the voices of the asshole deities that had the gall to tell me that they’re on the human’s side…


The invasion has begun…


Cultivator, this is going to fucking suck.


-0-0-0-0-0-


So yeah, I did a time skip and cut to the part where the invasion begins. The next chapters that will come are not going to be journal entries. Oh and I've decided to add names on who is speaking on the Audio Log.

Lescatie is in disarray.


Within six hours since they’ve first appeared, more than four thousand Lescatian citizens, be they young or old had succumbed to the Demonic Energy and transformed.


The northern, western and southern parts of the wall were abandoned after the Dragon Zombies dropped the Dark Matter that they’ve carried along with them on the way to Lescatie. The corrupted elemental’s presence had weakened the resolve of the soldiers that manned the fortifications, preventing them from stopping the other mamonos that climbed the wall. Three out of its four main gates lie in ruin when the Golems were brought forth to crush the obstacle.


Within the breached walls, the residential districts that are close to the outer walls are now being pacified by the mamonos through lascivious acts. Every corner and houses are scoured by the invaders for any humans that dwell within. Pockets of resistance fell in few minutes once the makeshift barricades were torn down by the Sabbath and the hordes of newly transformed monsters attack those within.


The compromised sections of Lescatie had spawned numerous monster girls of differing varieties coming out from the houses that were shut tight for a while. The infiltrators and the DE spiced food had done a good job on ensuring that the newly transformed had stewed in their own desires until the moment that Lescatie is to be invaded.


Still, despite the fact that Druella, the fourth daughter of the Demon Lord and her army is gaining an upper hand, she is still peeved on how her plans were unraveled. This was not like the port city of Damasco where she had captured the entire place in but a couple of hours after they had arrived. By now, the entire city-nation should have been lightly covered in mamono mana and the entire city should have been under the thralls of love and desire. All she needed to do was to walk in along with her small retinue of her attendants and simply nudge the champions of the city with the use of sex. This tried and tested method had allowed her and her other sisters to bring her mother’s dream of a world where man and mamono are united closer to fruition.


Such a plan however, was spoiled by a zealous and rather handsome mamono hunter and his partner.


Thanks to that man, her plans to take the city without any hassle had come to ruin. She had been forced to resort to boorish methods in order to acquire Lescatie for herself. Chances are that the humans might do something horrifying such as committing mass suicide to never know what it is like to love.


One of her sister was never the same when she witnessed that and hated her mother ever since.


Speaking of mothers…



“Mom!” a little girl went to her mother, who is unable to stand due to stumbling down on the cobblestone streets, “Mom!” she tried to get her mother back to her feet but her twisted ankle is preventing her from rising up from the ground, unable to realize the Lilim who is slowly coming towards them both.


“No… Run, Rochelle!” her mother tried to drive her away but her daughter is persistent. She can also see various tentacles coming out of the black balled mass of energy that the Lilim is riding on, “Get away from here, Rochelle! Please, just leave me.” she couldn’t take her eyes off of the Demon Lord’s daughter and some of her tentacles that started to split open to show more tentacles within it.


“What…” Rochelle looked back and saw the Lilim. The sight of Druella advancing closer to the mother and daughter with her black ball that sprouted out tentacles all had scared her witless that she is unable to move.


“What have we here~?” Druella lustfully smiled at the mother and daughter as the mother forces herself in front of her stunned daughter, “A mother and a daughter, all alone in the middle of a rather lively district…”



The moans of ecstasy and desire can be heard in places where the mamonos had passed by and corrupted. The way they’ve ravished the bodies of their partners had been so intense that the scent of sex can be faintly smelled outside. The mother found herself revolted at the thoughts of her daughter’s friends and her neighbors becoming beasts that are enslaved by their basest desire.


Forget the fact that the damned Order said that the monsters eat humans. What she saw a while ago is not only unnatural but also vile and immoral.



“I won’t let you have my daughter!” she struggled to remain standing as her injured ankle is taking its toll on her balance and blocking her from accessing her daughter.


“Oh?” Druella grinned as her tentacles suddenly wrapped around on the limbs of both the human mother and her daughter Rochelle, “Why would I want your daughter? I’m sure that she has someone in her mind that she wants.” she walked towards the entangled daughter and looked at her with her black and red eyes with one of her tentacles closing in on her skirt.


“No…” Rochelle struggled to get out of her bindings but the tentacles are infusing her with something that will calm her down and weaken her attempts of struggling by infusing her with mild aphrodisiacs that the tentacles produce.


“STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER, YOU DEMONIC BITCH!” the mother was enraged. She struggled wildly and violently from the perverted shackles that binds her and her daughter. She refuses to lose the last family that she had left.


“Oh don’t you worry, my dear.” Druella notices the tears forming up on Rochelle’s eyes and ignoring the promises of death and violence made by her mother. Her hands cupped the chins of the little girl, “Think of this as a gift that will change your life forever. By the time I’m finished with you, you’ll be free from all of the pain, sadness and grief that the big bad Order and their mean Chief Goddess had forced unto you.” she wiped the tears that are now rolling down on the face of Rochelle as she now felt the tentacle slipping under her skirt and caressing her thighs as it closes in on the crotch.


“He…” Rochelle felt it finally touching her.


“No… No. NO!” her mother started crying bitter tears as she watched her daughter getting molested, “I’LL KILL YOU, YOU PASTY SKINNED BITCH!” she didn’t care if they were man eaters at this point. All she cared about as of now is putting her fingers around the Lilim’s neck for touching her daughter and getting the latter away from this madhouse. The tentacles started applying more force and aphrodisiac on her as she struggled vigorously.


“Hel…” Rochelle still couldn’t muster her voice as she felt her body being tainted by Druella.


“Yes my dear~…” Druella chuckled at the little girl as she prepares her body for transformation, “Don’t resist it. Accept it with all your heart.” she put her head close to Rochelle’s ears and whispered, “Be free…”



Rochelle finally found her will to shout the word that she had been trying to say.



“HELP US!” Rochelle shouted with all her might, causing the Lilim to flinch away out of surprise.



-0-0-0-0-0-



Hopping around one rooftop after another is kind of fun and faster than trying to go through the flow of civvies at the streets streaming towards the evacuation site.


So far, we’ve managed to bring back at least lost five hundred Lescatians back to the shop and emptied eight residential areas close to their vicinity. The speakers helped in leading the Lescatians back to our shop and to the underground tunnel.


However, it took some time before the word sunk into many Lescatians that they needed to leave as the nobles of the Inner Sanctum and the Chief Goddess’s Priests goaded and demanded everyone to stand their ground no matter what through the Magitec’s spell that allows them to speak throughout Lescatie.


We wasted an hour and a half in dealing with those morons that could have been used to evacuate the parts of Lescatie that were taken over by the Druella’s forces the moment she broke through the defense lines.


Vass and I tried to get the bastards to shut the hell up but they had the gall to call us “agents of the Demon Lord” and accused us of letting the monsters slip through them. Mimiru attempted to dispel the magic but for all her talents and skills, she’s just one person and the Magitec spammed the spell whenever she broke it. They even sent some redhead hero with a beret to have us arrested for being heretics leading a small contingency of royal guards. Merse, Elt, some squire named Yuri and her men were not pleased about this and moved in to stop them from disrupting our operations.


People were confused on who should be followed and who was a lying heretic. It was until Helios called in and told me to link the speakers to his communicator. When we did what he asked us to do, Francisca’s voice was heard across Lescatie.


The fourth princess appealed to the masses, telling them that the nobility of Lescatie did not care for them and that their ineptitude is the reason why the monsters had invaded. She told them the story of how we protected Lescatie from being fully poisoned by the tainted produces that the Magitec had not detected and the mamono infiltrators that their heroes could not detect.


Redhead was flustered about the facts that a merchant was more competent than her while Merse gave her a shit eating grin.


She added that if they could not even protect their own daughter from years of abuse and neglect, what more could they do for the citizens of Lescatie.


The nobles tried to sputter out their defenses and attempted to get the people back to their side but the last thing that I expected was Druella rushing towards Castle Lescatie along with her cadre of really disturbing versions of their species. The results were totally expected when a nutty Lilim meets a bunch of normies who are incompetent at handling and dealing with mamonos.


If Francisca’s words did not convince them, it would be the very vocal corruption and transformation of nearly everyone inside the Inner Sanctum that got broadcasted throughout Lescatie that did the job for us. People started flowing into the shop out of fear and not wanting to go through that ordeal. Hopefully, we can get everyone who made it there out in time.



“HELP US!” when I looked at the source where the shout came from, I saw a very familiar looking Lilim and a mother and daughter duo, tied in tentacles that are certainly meant for hentai scenes from the rooftops. The familiar looking Lilim is about to commit pedophilia as well, fucking deviant.


Cultivator-damn it all… Gonna have to take a quick detour for a bit.



-0-0-0-0-0-



Druella was surprised and amused when Rochelle shouted for help. Why would she need help from being freed from her shackles? She is only here to help them. Sure it would be a scary experience for the first time but once she feels what it’s like to be truly free, she will no longer want to go back to being a human with limits.


She and her mother will know what perfection and freedom means.



“Oooh~…” she once more closes in on her as the little girl’s face is streaked with tears while her mother started begging her to take her instead, “This is getting me so excited that I cannot wait to see you be with the person that you love-.”


“Hi!”



Had Druella not backed away faster, a rainbow colored blade would have crashed on her skull and she would have died on the spot. The black ball however, was not lucky enough to dodge fast and she saw her elemental getting sucked into a small rip in space, cutting off the tentacles that bind the mother and daughter.



“Who…” Druella saw the figure that nearly managed to attack her.



It was a figure that donned a black and purple armor that emits pale blue lights on the visor and some parts of its body that stood in between her and the two remaining uncorrupted humans on the current district that they were at. Judging by its frame, Druella believed that the person within the armor was a man. It held a rainbow colored blade wrapped in unknown energy that she cannot describe as mamono or spiritual in nature.


Druella knew who she was facing.



“It seems that the Black Demon himself had finally deemed me worthy of his attention.” the Lilim affectionately said to the being that made waves across the Demon Realm for defeating the Amazons through the use of horrific methods.


“Are you two all right?” the Black Demon asked in a synthetic voice to the family of two without averting its gaze on the Lilim.


“Shhh… It’s okay…” the mother’s hugging her daughter who is now crying on her blouse while saying that she’s scared like a mantra, “The demon is not going to touch you again… A hero’s here to save us.”


“Ah, so you are an Order Hero then~.” Druella can feel more than just excitement as she thinks of a way to corrupt the Black Demon and enjoy the body underneath the said armor, “It’s not a wonder that you are quite violent and misguided. Did they create a new way to turn you into nothing more but a weapon to use in order to protect their failing state?”



The Black Demon ignored her words as it summoned some sort of a shimmering bandage and gave it to the mother.



“Put it on your ankle.” the being instructed to the mother, “It will heal your ankle and after that, you must run. I’ve already cleared the way for you.”


“Thank you, hero.” the mother did what the being said, causing her ankle to be restored.



She carried her still crying daughter in her arms and began to run towards the shop where the evacuation is taking place.



“Aw, we were about to get to the good part.” Druella said in dismay as she watched her potential converts run away from her, “Those two would have made a fine mamono if you-.”


“You disgust me.” the Black Demon cut her off.



Druella’s eyes had widened in astonishment at the Black Demon’s declaration of his disgust towards her. She did not expect that to be the first reaction coming from a hero. Usually, they would declare their hatred first in a faltering tone before they are overcome by her charm and body as her retinue had their way with them, be it man or woman. Some are even polite and courteous at her despite saying to her that she was the enemy at first.


This person did not falter at all. This person just outright told her that she’s disgusting. She didn’t expect that to be the first thing that she would be receiving from a hero. The way the man said that to her made her previous encounters with the ruder elements of the Order’s roster of heroes and heroines look polite in comparison.



“My expectations towards you did not fail me when I’ve heard that you would corrupt the children who shouldn’t even know what sex is at the younger age.” the rogue hero venomously stated what he expected towards the Lilim, “You and your kind do not hold anyone sacred, do you?”


“Sacred, you say?” Druella answered back, recovering from her surprised moment, “Is this the terminology that you humans call your shackles as such, my dear?”


“Cultivator, your ignorance is just as repulsive as your pedophilia.” it was after that statement that the Black Demon raised his rainbow sword and charged towards Druella.



The Lilim sidestepped before the blade crashed down on her head once more and threw a black missile towards the Black Demon from the tip of her fingers. The Black Knight shrugged the attack when it connected to his chest and threw a bomb at her direction. Druella flew up in order to get away from the explosion that made a small foxhole in the middle of the streets, only to be brought down by the sudden increase of the gravity. As she lay flat on the very hole that the bomb made, the Black Demon came to her position and held not only his rainbow sword but also a crossbow that glows in purple light.


The light changed into blue and he aimed his crossbow at Druella.



“Hmph, you might be a good seducer but you’re terrible at combat.” the Black Demon sneered as he fired a bolt.



However, if he didn’t wear his helmet, Druella would have seen his eyes widened when the bolt did not hit the target he had intended it to hit.



“Well shit.” the said as a body fell on Druella’s side.



Druella did not show how horrified she was when the shot didn’t connect thanks a Dark Slime that came just in time to block the attack. Her chest is frozen all over and its heart is showing to her that it’s on its way to death thanks to the cold. The effects that kept her down to the ground disappeared and the Black Demon jumped away from the hole where Druella was.



“HA!” a flash of black and violet came fast from behind the Black Demon.



The Black Demon then spun around and parried a sword strike made by a Dullahan whose violet armor is more scandalously exposed to the point that the armored parts were the crotch and the chest and armed with a black blade with an eye at its base. Druella did not travel alone and it had dawned to the Black Demon.


When the being broke away from the Dullahan, a pair of Dragon Zombies attempted to swoop down on the Black Demon, only for him to teleport away from them to the rooftop.



“Shit…” the Black Demon did not have any time for respite as the Dragon Zombies charged towards the Lilim’s prize.



Druella expected the Black Demon to be tackled down and be brought to her. There, she will peel off the armor that hides the human underneath it and teach the violent human the joys of a mamono’s body. From there, she will fill the head of the being with pleasure and desire for her and mold the being to serve her mother’s ultimate goal of uniting the mamonos and humans.


What she did not expect however was the roof where the Black Demon stood on suddenly collapsed, causing him to fall down inside the house.



“Hey, watch it!” the house’s occupants said in an indignant tone, probably disturbed by the person who suddenly broke into their house.


“Sorry about that.” the rogue hero said in an apologetic tone as another hole was made on the second floor, exposing a bedroom with a pair of naked beings, an incubus and a lesser succubus and the Black Demon himself standing there, armed with a crossbow that glowed purple once more and aimed at the Dragon Zombies from first hole that he made.



The Dragon Zombies charged forth, thinking that a puny bolt will not work on their thick hides. They intend to bring the Black Demon to the Lilim and had him stripped out of his armor. The two raised dragons were promised by the Lilim that she will share the being underneath the armor if they brought him to her. The intoxicating scent of a man underneath that armor was more than enough to motivate the undead further.


However, the two shamblers were denied of their prize when the bolt was fired and struck them. They were pushed back by a powerful force that came from the bolt.



“Well, that was- GHAK!” the Black Demon was then entangled in a mass of black tentacles, each of them had a scent that is intoxicating and arousing enough to get the two naked couple to fiercely couple with each other even further just by smelling it. The amount was large enough that he lost his grip on his weapons and was forced to the ground floor and at his back.


“Eheheheh…” a disheveled woman in armor chuckled out of arousal as she puts more tentacles to bind the rogue hero’s arms and legs to prevent movement.


“Ah, Josephina…” Druella affectionately patted the head of the former hero who became a Parasitic Slime host, “I see that you’ve finally accepted your new body now.”



-0-0-0-0-0-



“Yes, Lady Druella~.” the purple headed ponytailed woman riding a black slime ball drawled as she makes sure that I’m not going to be moving anytime soon, “This body… this body feels sooo good~!”


“So, how would you like to see what this Black Knight of ours look like, my dear?” I can see Druella, the Dullahan, the two flying zombie lizards and the slime host surround me with the Lilim straddling me on my chest.



My Geiger counter is going off like crazy as it keeps on registering large amounts of DE around me and my suit’s teleportation function went kaput on me after I made a jump to the roof. While I’m not affected by it, the mamonos surrounding me are getting empowered by it. Some of them started to rub their privates as they looked at me and getting wet, probably at the thoughts of raping me. Druella’s rubbing herself on my armor as well, which would have been quite sexy if she weren’t a batfuck nutty Lilim bent on pushing mankind slowly to extinction.


One of the Dragon Zombies grabbed the sides of my helmet and attempts to break it off of my armor. She’s eyeing me in a depraved and determined way as well, letting me know that once the helmet comes off, I’m pretty much going to get my face raped first by them forcing a kiss out of me.


Luckily for me, my armor’s made of violium and enforce with solarium. The helmet’s also a part of my suit as well and can only be taken off by my command.


The Dragon Zombie looks frustrated as this went on for a few minutes. Her zombie claws are not doing enough to take off the helmet and the other mamono are getting more and more impatient. I sent a message to the Protectors, telling them that I’m pinned and I needed some rescuing.



*crack*


[WARNING: EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED BY UNKNOWN SHRAPNEL. HELMET ARMOR INTEGRITY IS AT 81%.]



Was that the sound of Murphy, fucking me over again?



“Ooh!” ah shit, how the fuck, “It seems that I need to pump in more power on my cute little dragon to break your armor then~!” the Lilim looks tired when she empowered the Dragon Zombie. Whatever spell she used, I’m pretty sure that she used all of her energy to be able to cause damage to my armor.



In other words: NOT GOOD.



[WARNING: COMMUNICATIONS MODULE HAS BEEN DISABLED BY UNKNOWN SHRAPNEL. HELMET ARMOR INTEGRITY IS AT 63%.]


“HWOOOOH~…” the Dragon Zombie’s covered in black aura. Her claws are causing my suit’s system to go haywire as it starts to dig in on both sides.



Oh Cultivator… At this rate, they’ll end up pulping my head if they kept this up.



“Stop…” I started shouting as the Dragon Zombie’s claws are already contacting my skin, “Cultivator, stop trying to break my armor!”


“How cute of you to continue struggling against liberation~.” Druella smiled at me as she wrapped her arms around my neck, “There’s no need to fear us, my dear husband…” if she wasn’t trying to unintentionally kill me, I would have retched on such a thought, “… when the two of us finally get to know each other’s body, I doubt that you will ever want to be kept away from this.”



My suit’s visual is breaking apart when the claw struck the vital parts of my helmet. I can’t see shit properly thanks to the red danger signs involving my helmet getting slowly crushed by a Dragon Zombie flashing endlessly.



[WARNING: HELMET ARMOR INTEGRITY IS AT 50%.]


[… zzz… kaaazzz… Help… way… zzz…]


[WARNING: HELMET ARMOR INTEGRITY IS AT 38%. PRESSURE IS ALSO DETECTED AS WELL; PLEASE REMOVE YOUR ARMOR NOW BEFORE THE USER IS CRUSHED.]



This is how I die then… Accidentally killed by a bunch of horny monster girls…



[zzz… zzztttzzz… Zya… come…]


[WARNING: HELMET ARMOR INTEGRITY IS AT 11%. PRESSURE LEVEL IS CLOSE TO BREAKING POINT. PLEASE REMOVE YOUR ARMOR OR WEAR AN EPP IF YOU ARE IN A HIGHLY PRESSURIZED ZONE OR CLOSE TO A GRAVITY WELL.]



*flap*



[HEAT TEMPERATURE IS RISING, ACTIVATING COOLING FUNCTIONS.]



I was about to resign to my fate until a gigantic shadow covered us all and my suit registering a sudden rise of temperature. Heh… Looks like help is here…



“BURN!”



A beam of fire struck my position and nearly took out most of Druella’s clique were they not fast enough to move away from the surprise attack. The Dragon Zombie however, was turned to ash before she could even move her claws off of my helmet along with the Parasite Slime host who was spamming tentacles at my limbs. I would have been fried by such an attack too if I didn’t have my suit’s EPP to be able to withstand the lava’s temperature.



-0-0-0-0-0-



Druella couldn’t believe it.


A towering Dragon at its monstrous form had arrived at Lescatie. She had seen dragons at their monstrous forms before but the one that she is seeing is larger than what she had seen back then. Its verdant scales are ancient and weathered compared to the elder dragons that she had encountered. Its horns and claws had taken a darker shade of color, a sign of its extensive use and age. Its snout cackled in power instead of fire, showing its mastery of the said element.


The dragon’s golden eyes looked upon the Lilim with intense disdain before transforming into a Dragon in her mamono form and helping the Black Demon up.



“What is this…” the Dullahan said in disbelief as she saw a mamono help a hero that had slain mamonos without remorse and mercy.


“Grey…” Druella heard the Dragon call the Black Demon by his name, “You reek of fluids and aphrodisiac.” she added as she gets the rogue hero back to his feet.


“I know…” the one called Grey said as he used some sort of a spell to make his helmet disappear.



The Lilim finally saw the face of the Black Demon without its helmet on.


When her succubus infiltrator returned back to her headquarters, she described the face of the mamono hunter that abducted her comrades and murder them. It was a black haired young man with a brownish skin complexion. His cold, dark brown eyes held nothing but the promises of pain and death towards his opponents as it claimed the unconscious body of a Dark Angel. Its face shows a young man who had seen so many things in life that he went through and the lack of any emotions aside from grim determination in exterminating her comrades.


In other words, a sad and unloved young man who needs to be loved and given care of by the finest that the Demon Realm could offer. Hopefully, he isn’t taken by the Dragon yet as the mamonos within the vicinity thought. There might be a huge chance too since the human did not mellow down despite knowing a mamono.



“WEEEEEEH… My man…” the Dragon Zombie growled as she had found a new competition for her prize. Years of loneliness and desperation had eroded her senses and deemed the Dragon as her enemy, “GET AWAY!”


“No!” the Dullahan tried to stop the last Dragon Zombie but it was too late.



The Dragon Zombie charges onward, her claws aimed at the Dragon and her dull yellow eyes showing her single minded desire to remove her from the field. She will not be denied any longer and she refuses to let someone else take away her one last chance of finding happiness after centuries of living and dying alone.



“I’m sorry…”



Druella took notice on the Dragon who apologized first as her Dragon Zombie bodyguard closes in on her. Her golden eyes shimmered with power and her cheeks had tears rolling down on it. Before the Dragon Zombie could even touch her supposed enemy, the Dragon moved to its side in a speed that not even the fastest mamono could compete against. The Dragon then used its speed and raised her claws, aiming on her shambling counterpart’s side as well as saying another word that would cause the Lilim and the Dullahan to remember this the moment they leave Lescatie.



“Rest in peace, my sister.”



The Dragon plunged her claws, tearing through the ribs and ripping out a still beating black heart that glowed in red light. The Dragon Zombie looked stunned on the first few seconds and in those brief moments, Druella, Grey and the Dragon saw life within the eyes of the undead.



“End it…” the Dragon Zombie said as her thoughts became coherent for the last time.



The latter did not make any second thoughts and crushed the black heart within her clawed grasp, finally ending the undeath status of the Dragon Zombie and turning her body to ashes. At first, the Dragon was sad as she looked at the ashen remains of her sister, then her entire body cackled with power.


The Lilim can tell that the Dragon was undoubtedly enraged. The Dragon looked at the two from behind with the white of her eyes turning black and the golden iris is mixed with red. Her claws and horns became sharp and longer as her breathing became fast and unsteady. Her body and wings grew larger once more as she prepares to transform. Chances are that she will murder her and the Dullahan as they stayed longer within the district. They will not survive against an opponent such as her.



“So… would you like to continue this?” Grey asked the two.


“Hmph…” Druella huffed before she and her Dullahan were covered in black energy and disappeared from the vicinity, “A temporary withdrawal is in order.”



Druella knows that she will meet them again shortly after this. After all, there are still too many humans left within Lescatie for them to fail at “rescuing” anyway. For now, she will let them have this brief respite.

Audio Log 9:


King Lescatie: "Citizens of the Theocracy of Lescatie, the armies of darkness are now at the doorsteps of our kingdom. The Chief Goddess-..."

Grey: "Will not be able to save you from this invasion."

King Lescatie: "Who dares?"

Grey: "Lescatians, I am Grey Crestwell, the Merchant of Haven who had lived with you for nearly a month. Despite the bravado that your leaders show in the face of this enemy, they will not be able to hold the tide long enough to protect you from the depravity of the Demon Lord. They had brought with them an army of mamonos that are not like those in the defenseless mamono villages that your armies attack."

King Lescatie: "Lies! We had won countless victories against countless armies of man eating monsters and demons."

Grey: "You mean the mamonos that banded together in a ramshackle armies in order to stave your men from attacking their villages, right? The one that consists of either inexperienced warriors, army deserters, children and if some are lucky, a former hero, yes? Do you and your fellow comrades gloat on how victorious were you all in fighting against such a disorganized rabble?"

King Lescatie: "That is a lie, you seditious foreigner. Do not let the lies of these faithless merchants sway your belief away from the path of righteousness!"

Vass: "Cultivator be damned, you fool of a monarch! The reason why you and this kingdom are able to claim those steaming pile of horse shit you call achievements and capabilities is because you and your people were barely a noise on the whore lord's hearing range. Now that she had heard of you lot, she sent her damned daughter to conquer this kingdom of yours and make you all into a pack of rutting beasts. If there's any of you out there who still had some sense in them, grab your families and friends and get to our shop as fast as possible. The Lilim's forces are coming and-."

King Lescatie: "All royal guards, you are all ordered to barricade the district where these merchants are currently residing. Do not let anyone come in or come out until the threat outside is dealt with."

Grey: "You son of a bitch... WHAT?"

Steelbolt: "Annoyed. This reminds me of Avian coreworlders."

Vass: "You damned fool, are you trying to feed the Demon Realm with more humans for them to corrupt?"

King Lescatie: "No, we intend to defeat this Lilim in battle and show to the Demon Lord and to your faithless hides that the men and women of Lescatie will not be corrupted by their wiles!"

Sasha: "Goddess... this is insane... Merse's men had reported that the Northern walls is getting bombarded with Dark Elementals. A lot of its garrisoned soldiers had already succumbed to the corruption."

Koyoi: "Do your rulers let this bout of insanity cloud their common sense?"

Mimiru: "You wouldn't believe how many times this had happened, Koyoi. *casting spells*"

Steelbolt: "Disgusted. The ineptitude of the humans in this world is disturbing."
