My Demon Pet System Chapter 293

"Where did you get it? Let me see the bottle," Takuma said, lying down and getting comfortable. Yoichi passed the ampoule of yellowish ointment between his hands. "Oh my... did you really use this to heal my wound? Hahah! Haha...cough!" the Grimbrook warrior coughed, returning the bottle into Yoichi's hand.
"Why? What's wrong with it? I found it in your bag, and thanks to it, your wound is perfectly healed. Look, it's already scabbing," Yoichi replied, bringing his gaze closer to the cut on his partner's side.
"That's olive oil, Yoichi," Takuma smiled.
"Huh? Olive oil?"
"Yes. Hahah! I always carry it with me, hoping to find some warm bread to eat it with. Just in case!" the red-haired warrior chuckled. "The healing ointment is in the other ampoule."
Yoichi couldn't believe those words and moved his nose closer to the yellowish liquid, trying to smell it better and observing its appearance. Indeed, looking closer, that thick yellowish liquid looked and smelled like edible oil.
"But why on earth did you bring a bottle of olive oil with you? It looks exactly like the ointment used to treat wounds! This is insane!" Yoichi complained, scratching his head.
"Hahah! I've already explained why. It's made in my village. It's one of Grimbrook's specialties," Takuma added. After chuckling, the red-haired warrior seemed to feel better.
Resting both elbows on the ground and interspersing his movements with deep, slow sighs, he managed to rest on his elbows and regain some consciousness a little at a time.
"Then how is it possible that a stab wound healed in less than twenty-four hours? Taisuke didn't look like an amateur fighter, and I'm pretty sure he hit you in the right spot," the Nightblades tamer replied.

As Yoichi spoke, Karasu too began to reassemble the pieces of its wooden body. The scarecrow demon focused its gaze on the tips of its arms, still broken and covered in splinters.
"Oh, you're right, Karasu," Takuma spoke, giving priority to his Oracle. The scarecrow approached its tamer, who sat up and began to look at the ground as if searching for something around him.
He grabbed a sharp stone in a few seconds and started to rub it on Karasu's arm-tips hardly. As if it were routine, the scarecrow demon stayed motionless, waiting for its 'hands' to turn back on their standard shape.
"You know, Yoichi," Takuma began again. "During all these years, I've done nothing but train my body while waiting to leave Grimbrook. My grandfather Gompachi always told me that I could never become a real tamer and join a guild if I wasn't trained enough."
"But how can training help you heal your wounds?" Yoichi inquired, intrigued by that story. Takuma was such a genuine person that he hardly told lies to brag about his abilities.
"Well, part of the training was really about taking hits. Grandpa Gompachi would hit me with all kinds of weapons, and I had to make somehow my body ready to absorb those attacks," Takuma explained. "Before an arrow or the tip of a spear enters my flesh, the muscles in that particular spot harden to the maximum, increasing my physical resistance. I'm not sure how I do it. Let's just say it's an instinct I've learned to use against stronger enemies."
Takuma's words left Yoichi speechless. During the last group training he had attended, Takamori Sada, with the help of Rinji, was trying to explain a similar technique to his warriors.
Not being part of a guild, Takuma had learned everything he knew about combat from his grandfather. As a result, perhaps Gompachi was also part of a guild in the past.

"That's really impressive. Well, I hope you get well soon because Oakenfair isn't very far away. Look," the young blonde-haired tamer spoke. With both hands, after finishing the wound treatment, he opened Ryutaro's map under the eyes of his traveling companion.
"The woods we're now in should be this little blurred dot on the left. The Waveless River in front of us curves just as shown on the map, see?"
Yoichi's finger allowed Takuma to orient himself more efficiently on that old hand-drawn papyrus. "If we get back on the road now, we should get to Oakenfair before nightfall. Just give me five more minutes, and I'll be able to get back on my feet." Takuma spread his arms and rotated his torso left and right, stretching his joints as he sat.
The Grimbrook warrior's resilience was incredible, and Yoichi, relying on his words, was confident that they would be on their way in no time.
The morning sun shone high over the Valley of the Northern Waters, and before the afternoon arrived, Takuma kept his promise. As Yoichi sat by a tree and spent his time reading 'Fundamentals of Demon Taming', the young warrior from Grimbrook appeared standing in front of him.
Yoichi and Ichiro looked at Takuma from head to toe, unable to believe that a wound of that size had already stopped harming his young body. He had independently donned his tank top, and from the expression on his face, he seemed to be in perfect shape.
"Well? Oakenfair won't come to us! Let's go!" he exclaimed, approaching his horse and jumping on its back. Yoichi and Ichiro looked at each other quizzically as if they shared their astonishment. However, without asking any further questions, the young tamer from Goldhaven climbed back on his Inoshuma and began riding north again.
The journey through the valley was the longest Yoichi had ever faced. Fatigue and hunger had taken a back seat; in his goal, all that mattered now was reaching Oakenfair.
Finally, as the sun grew lazy and began to lie down behind the western mountains, the afternoon light allowed Yoichi and Takuma to see a change in that beautiful but monotonous landscape.
One of the headlands of the Southborne Mountains was literally split in two: from its summit to its base, a rift similar to a vertical fault divided the rock mass into two equal parts. The two mountains generated by the process hung to the right and left, respectively, as if they were gradually yielding to their own weight.
Soon after, Yoichi checked that landmark on Ryutaro's map. He had no more doubts: the passage connecting the valley to Oakrath Heights was in front of them.

8 77The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
8 227Rise of an Undead in a Fantasy World
Have you ever wondered what would happen if an undead being that doesn't know what it is like to be alive got free will? What would that undead creature do? How would they think? How would they view the world around them? Would they see life as futile and conquer the world, making it a lifeless danger zone to all living beings? Well, none of that matters, because that's not happening. Our main character is your average gamer from the modern world, yada yada yada... gets transported to a fantasy world through obscure means, blah blah blah... you know how this works. What separates him from the masses, however, are his views on ethics, and world politics. ... Oh, and the fact that he doesn't need to breathe. Message From Author! Accept?: Yes No This is only my second novel, so keep that in mind. I will try to keep the quality of the story to an acceptable level. This means something that I, myself would read. The quantity, however, may put some people off. Adding onto the whole "villainous lead" thing, I will make sure to have the character develop into that perfect little villain over time, instead of starting him out as a bloodthirsty murder-hobo. Of course, there will still be a lot of murdering and he may be a hobo for some of it, but it will mostly not be out of malice in the very early chapters. Last but not least, I have decided there will not be a defined release schedule for this, as I have lost interest in forcing myself to upload x amount of times a week. I will upload whenever I get a good idea, and take my time. That is, if I even feel like writing in the first place. Instead of taking breaks from this novel to do my own thing, I will take breaks from my daily life to post on here. Also, I'm lazy. Thanks for reading, and if you're alright with everything above, feel free to give it a read, and without further ado, have a good one! - Your Author P.S.: I will have little to no romance in the story, as I can't bring myself to writing it, so you don't have to worry about harems.
