《Old: The Dark Inheritor》Chapter 4: The Scarlet Leviathan
Advertisement
I run through the garden watching ten of my father’s soldier going up against one of the Emperor’s soldiers. These heavily armored knights were covered head to toe with a giant tower shield and sword. They were capable of handling ten rank ten warriors easily. People within the mansion were fleeing for their lives. They desperately seek a way to escape. Some were successful as others failed.
I watch several maids and butlers get slashed from behind.
I rush towards the back of an enemy. I draw out both swords in unison, hacking them against the armored thirteen rank warrior. Normally, my attacks would not be able to pierce through this high rank warrior and his armor, but I empowered my blades with chi and mana.
This allowed my weapons to pierce through anything.
The warrior lets out an anguish cry of defeat before his body hits the floor. I help the maid up. She flee towards the woods. I know my knights should be fine. I ran past the open doors. I look around to stare at the many skirmishes between warriors. I did not stop and eye at the blood and corpses that covers the floors and walls. I need to go upstairs. Skipping several steps, I sprint down a hallway. I need to get to my room. They will be waiting for me there.
Turning at a corner, I saw a body flying in front of me. I leap back before the body hits me. A black knight had tossed their spear into the enemy’s head. It slams against the wall on my left. The knight retrieves his spear. He curse at the dead knight saying, “You arrogant bastard. If you had your shield up, you could have died a bit later. Idiot.” He noticed someone beside him. He turns towards me. In a happy tone he says, “Princess!”
Nero and the other black knights rush to me. They looked around the area before they came to me. Several maids were also with these knights. They were wielding weapons as well.
“I am guessing that we should evacuate huh Princess?” I nod my head. I could explain to them how this happen, but I figured most of them knew why this was happening. Prince Arnos had a reputation to be fierce and aggressive, yet my family has served the Emperor for years. It was a bit over the top to actually exterminate us. When he first granted land to my father, we were the first of the few to help establish Titus’ reign for his kingdom. With this sudden attack, it only means that Emperor Titus finally declares us as a threat and enemies to his kingdom despite our loyalties to him.
The dark hair head maid, Mel, quickly said, “Most of our maids left with the other family members. Despite their high rank warriors, we can easily assassinate them if they do not pay us any attention. This is the only way some of them can live. We plan to leave with you milady.”
I nod to them and said, “Let us leave through the back.” Going down the stairs I took, we easily left the mansion.
I did not have anything valuable to take with me other then the stuff I already had. Most of the soldiers were preoccupied. I would have loved to see the fight between Brynhild and the Emperor, but she was delaying him for my escape.
Do I want to see how my father was fairing? Or my brothers and sisters? I eye at the burning mansion and chaotic fighting happening left and right. I just smiled. The light of the burning flame devouring my prison resonates in my eyes. I have longed for the day to escape.

And finally, I can leave. I just turn towards the woods and followed my group.
Running through the forest, we easily covered a mile or so away from the castle. Nero quickly stops us before we exit the forest.
He did not talk. He only motion past the forest to a few distant figures. More knights. There are twenty of them up ahead. It looks like Titus does not want any survivors, so he had his troops surround and cover the land we owned.
Nero decides to rush from our position to get into the open. The other knights and maids got into position. I hide in the bushes' shadows. We wait for the moment to attack. “Hold it!” The knights notice Nero coming out of the forest. Nero pretends that he was out of breathe. He holds his hand before he stands upright.
“Stay your hand! I was forced to serve the Graham’s family for decades, I only wish to escape this madness and start anew!”
The knights only laugh. “What the hell? A survivor of our assault is a mere rank six warrior!? Ha, that is utterly sad. I was hoping for a decent fight, but this… Guys, this is utterly sad! A rank six warrior wearing this stupid black armor! Ha, why don’t we humiliate him before we kill him?”
They all laugh in unison. They slowly walk up to him. They did not even raise their weapons. As they approach Nero, several maid dash out of the trees. They quickly executed most of the people in the back as the black knights’ charge forward piercing and stabbing six of their knights. I dash past Nero as my blades slash against two Imperial knights that were closing on Nero.
Increased Skills in:
[Level 105] Swords
[Level 105] Dual-Wielding
[Level 105] Heavy Armor
I blink at the increase of my own skills. I was surprised that these enemies have skilled themselves in dual-wielding though. What surprised me was the new sets of skills and abilities that appeared into my head.
Skills Gained: [Level 142] Shields
[Level 120] Daggers
[Level 130] Light Armor

[Pathetic Taunt]
I ponder about the stuff that I learned. I want to analyze it a bit more thoroughly, but this is not the time for that. I just stood there eyeing at the remaining knights. Nero pulls out his buster sword from behind as he stands beside me.
“W-what the fuck!? Get some reinforcements over here now!” That scream ushers in more soldiers to rush to our position. The knights quickly block or hack down most of the projectiles coming towards us. The maids evaded the incoming attacks, pulling out their sword and shields. This was turning sour. If twenty of them are stationed here, the other positions must have the same amount or more.
Nero quickly unleashes a strong slash towards the enemy that can cut through the air itself. That strong slash cuts through the air arriving past ten knights approaching our position. The knights did not see anything except a gust of strong air coming towards them.
In a second after that air past them, their armored bodies were split into two. Their dismembered selves falling to the ground. “Are they really rank six warriors?!” One of the knights cried out, “Get the Demi-God to help us!” A knight on a horse escapes the chaos, rushing to the mansion. Nero glance around the place. He use his armored arm to block an incoming arrow directed at me. The arrow bounces off the armored arm.

Nero says, “You have to leave! If this fighting continues, they will surely kill us all. If you were to escape, I will be fine with that! Dan, Gale, and Gallant, you three will accompany the princess away from here! We will buy you some time!”
Leaving Nero behind?! I turn to him, agape at his command.
I turn towards Nero saying, “Are you mad!? We will escape together!” Nero shakes his head no.
“If we all escape, we will only be pursued till who knows when. If a small group of you can leave at the least, you will escape unharmed! It has always been our duty to watch over you! Now, I want you to be free! Do not worry about us; we can handle ourselves even if a Demi-God comes at us.”
Mel also chimes in, “Two of the shield maidens will accompany you. Princess, it has been an honor to watch you grow. If we were to fail in helping your escape, it will only bring shame to us. Please, live on!”
The enemy reinforcements continue to approach. I wanted to stay and fight. I was going to refuse this stupid sacrifice. These guys were all my family and teachers! They were my friends as well. I have been with them for years! They know how much I endured and how much I wanted all of us to escape.
Nero quickly push me to the three that were to accompany me. One of them grab my wrist as Nero exclaims, “Go! Princess Aisha you must live! Continue running north and do not come back for us. We will follow shortly.” With those last words, I was dragged away by my five guards now.
Nero continues his battle along with Mel. I can feel pain in my heart as I watch my teachers fight to the death. I force myself to run. I did not look back. I have to chase after that freedom I long for. They all want me to get it even if it means sacrificing their life for mine.
Without saying anything, the five of us enter another forest and rush north. We are already out of the area my family owns. Now we are fleeing the country. Even though we are out of the perimeter, they can still send forces to pursue us.
Ten minutes passed as we venture through the heavily condensed forest. I can feel something. This escape will not be an easy one. A piercing roar engulfs the air. Three dragon riders spotted us from above.
One of the black knights cursed.
“Me and Gallant will stay and hold them, you three continue on! Gale, do not let her die no matter what! We shall catch up!”
With that said, we continued running. I glance over my shoulder to watch Gallant swinging Dan into the air. Even though it seems like it would be impossible to toss another heavily armored man into the air, Gallant made it look like child's play.
After Gallant toss Dan into the air, the black knight has slammed his spear into one of the dragon and slash the rider with his sword. Taking the reigns, Dan forces the dragon to slam into the nearby dragon rider. This forced the dragon rider to lose control and head towards the ground. Doing this, two of the three dragon riders were on the ground where Gallant joined Dan.
The other dragon rider was still in hot pursuit on us. Running viciously past trees and bushes, I look up at the sky. I want to try that out as well. “Gale!” I exclaim. He eyes at me. “You better be careful!” He grabs my left arm and flings me towards the aerial unit. Being tossed into the air easily, I cross my aims together to slash at the dragon’s head. The dragon and rider did not expect me to fly at them.
As I approach, the dragon lets out a cry of agony, roaring violently into the air as it flaps his wings higher into the air. This did not chop off the dragon’s head, but it created panic. I use my momentum to charge at the rider. He was trying to pull out his sword, but I quickly slash him into three, his head and his upper body were hacked off. My arms felt heavy as I pierced into that thick armor. I ignored all the skills that appeared in my head. I have no need to see what they were. I would die if I did not handle this dragon. I took the chance to slam one of my swords into the dragon and use it as a rope to slide down to his belly. I quickly empowered my legs with some chi and kick the dragon’s right wing to make him twirl upside down in midair. As he does this, I quickly take my sword out from his body and jump into the air.
Luckily the dragon did not move.
I position both my swords towards the dragon’s non armored belly and slam my blades in there. The dragon cries furiously, but it quickly descends to the ground, dying in mere moments. I have aimed at the center of his belly where his heart should be at. I, once again, ignored all the skills I gained from killing the rank twelve dragon.
The dragon lands violently against the ground, sliding as I held onto my blades that pierced into his stomach. I took the swords out from his belly after the rough landing. I was covered in some blood, eyeing at the giant beast I just slain. Getting off of him, the other three reunited with me.
“Let us leave, quickly!” Running into the woods again, we did not hear anything except our bodies dashing against the leaves and bushes. It was very peaceful. Freedom was definitely in my grasp. I can imagine the world right now, the vast amount of things I can experience.
We came into a clearing where nature was abandoned. It was a graveyard. Death was written all over.
The air was foul, the ground covered with bones and dark dirt. Dead trees were also spotted in this area. There was a giant dead willow where someone was standing there. No, the person was leaning against the main truck of the willow, waiting for us.
This person has dark red hair and pale skin. Her eyes were fixated on a crow on her stretched out hand. She has a dark robe that covers her body. She was sitting sluggishly against the tree, her one leg stretched out on the branch as the other dangles beneath her.
She eyes toward us saying, “Oh, the survivors. I did not expect you guys to arrive so early. I was hoping Brynhild will be with you, but I guess she chose that Emperor to go against.”
My body could tell me the urge to run, but I could not execute it. Despite this beautiful long hair woman was with her flashing and glittering green eyes, her wicked smile tells me that she was death.
“This is bad.” Gale could easily tell that this woman was up there, “She… is a Fiend.” Those words made my heart stop. My heart freezing at those words. A Fiend? The woman was gone. It seems like she sense my frozen heart.
The woman has already appeared before us in those few seconds. She has her left hand running against my cheek, the cold feeling of her covered hands sent chill down my spine. Her gaze on me did not change. It was not vilely wicked or insane. She still had a subtle smirk on her face. Her eyes entranced me to stare at her for a long time.
I could feel my soul being drained by her. It was like she was seducing me in an intoxicating manner. Her gaze alone made my heart beat faster.
“Get away!” Both the maids drawn their shields up and thrust their swords at her.
The red hair girl slaps the air to both of them. A sudden gust force them flying into the air and slamming past several trees behind us. Gale quickly slash his sword forward, the girl disappears and reappears some feet away from us.
“I can see great potential in this girl though. It is a shame that I need to kill her.” Gale curse under his breathe, standing in front of me. I could see him shaking underneath his armor. The girl glared violently at him.
“Do not block my view on this woman before me. I want to absorb every ounce of her appearance into my head.”
“Damn pervert,” Gale said, “You think she will want to go after some girl that chases after some sick Fiend like you. You are nothing but an evil entity that should not even touch the mistress.” The red hair girl just laughs as the two maids quickly came back to us, weapons ready. I eye at their conditions though, it was not great. I quickly felt guilt in my heart as I felt a tremendous force engulfing me. It was helplessness. If she was a Fiend, how can we win? I was always being protected by those I loved. I have to stop this.
“Please,” I said, my voice shaking, “Do not kill these three, they are simply guarding me! If it is me you want, then just get me!”
I feel like my voice made her pursue utter agony onto me.
Her eyes widen up a bit, for a millisecond as she place her hand on her chin.
She rubs it saying, “What would you do if I killed them painfully before you.”
Those words quickly explained her true intentions. “Oh, to correct you black knight, I am no Fiend. I am a Leviathan.”
Those words made the black knight push the three of us away, “Run!” I have never seen Gale in such a panicked state. This was the first time he actually shoved me as well. My knights never pushed me with such force. They always got in the way and shielded me. They never forced me back, but at this very moment, Gale pushed me back in sheer fear.
What was a Leviathan?
Before we could do anything, a tremendous force weighed down on all of us. Two of the maids fell onto the ground as I was, somehow, standing upright still. Gale was still standing, but he was definitely struggling.
The air was hard to even stare at. It was moving violently in my sight. I could not move. My body was stuck as it was. Gale was flung aside as the red hair girl has released a dark red aura around her. She was smiling at the destructive power she has unleashed. She was utterly satisfied of how frightening her powers were on us.
“So, Princess Aisha, you want me to spare these people right?” I could feel the pressure of the air lifting away from me, but the other three were still affected by her God’s Realm, I think, or something similar to it.
“Then stop me. I will give you… five seconds before I kill that maid.” My mind heard those words. I snapped. I raise both my weapons at her, swinging them in unison. She easily stopped it with her hand. I curse at this, swinging my two blades in different directions and she easily blocked both of them at the same time. This time, she did not use her hand. She was using magic. A shield was around her. Although it seems like she can easily stop my attacks with her two fingers. Gale was able to rush forward, slamming his blade at the side of this woman, but a shield prevented his attack to go through.
The girl yawns and says, “Times up.”
An agonizing scream can be heard behind my left. I glance at how a twist of a few fingers from the Leviathan easily twist and pull the maid’s body apart in mere seconds. I watch the maid cry in pain. Tears had run down her cheeks. Her body was in ruins. Her main torso lies on the ground surrounded by her head, arms, and legs. I was sickened at the scene. Her blood starts to form a pool at her discarded limbs. I shake my head. I have to save the other one. I have to steel myself! I glare at the Leviathan.
“You have to try harder,” she giggles, “I will give you another five seconds.” I did not even hesitate. I unleash everything I could on her. She was surprised at the moves I was able to do. She could feel my energy attacks hammering on her shields and she could see how much material arts experience I have. I empowered my blades to hold both mana and chi in them. I even chanted several deadly spells at her to break past this shield. She withstood against my crazed assault, but her eyes were fascinated at my bewildered state. I was letting out a furious scream into the air. I had both my blades violently rub against her magic shield.
“Oh, such rage. Have you ever thought about going down the dark path? It would be quite good for you. Oh, despite such praise though, she will have to die.”
The next set of agonizing screams came from the dark skin maid behind me. Her body was being pulled into the ground by skeletons. Gale quickly unleashes a heavy energy strike that actually shattered the red hair girl’s shield. When I was unleashing all of my fury, one of my attacks slash at her chest. I could see the giant scar across the middle of her body, the robe revealing her D size breasts. Her robe still covers her nipples, but she was… amazed. She was not screaming in agony. She did not even flinch or back away from my slash. She was astounded by our combined effort.
“Wow,” she said laughing, “You got me!” Gale and I planned to press the assault.
Her shield reappeared, but the girl diverted her attention to Gale. The black knight was about to unleash another one of his heavy attacks, but he was stuck midway.
He eyes at the woman before him.
She pulls out his heart from the heavy armor, kicking him lightly. His body flies deep into the woods. I watch her destroy his heart in her hands. Blood exploded from the organ.
I clutch my own chest, falling to my knees.
It was hopeless to win against her.
She mocks me. “Aw, do not be like that. I want to see your pitiful face.”
She made me gaze up at her, my body trembling in fear and in shame.
I could not save them! I was helpless against such a powerful foe. She did not even feel pain.
She allowed my attack to go through. Or was she oblivious to it?
She motions her left index finger to stroke against the scar I placed on her. She moves her bloodied finger up to her mouth. She licks it as my body starts to shake a lot more. Her eyes shine at my terrible state.
She IS enjoying this. Her face was blushing madly as her eyes locked onto me. There was no thing such as an escape. I can feel her hands stroking my face then moves downwards to my breasts and then back up to the neck. I tried to slash her hands, but she grasps both of ,y blades. She quickly utilized a spell that forced my hands to drop them. The girl raised both of my wrists above my head. She holds them with one hand. She pushed me down to the ground.
Her free hand starts to stroke all over my chest again. What troubled me was the fact her hand was circling around my heart.
Fear.
That was what I sense. That was what I can feel. That was all I can feel! This woman easily killed my allies and forced me to stand down. She even toyed with me and even gave me a chance to help my allies. She wants to see me in this state.
I would deny her such a thing, but after all the things I lost, how could I stay strong!?
My friends, my teachers, those who I cared for, all died for me!
How can I even feel good about myself when this god like devil stands before me! I only regret that this life was not fulfilling. Tears start to streak down my face.
“I seriously cannot hurt a diamond like you.” The red head girl was looking at me with such affection? Is that possible? She just murdered my allies! She murdered the people I cared for the most.
I tried to usher the words, “I hate you!” at the top of my lungs, but fear still silenced me. It looks like she could tell what I wanted to say.
She says, “I really like helpless girls like you. You are the first to leave a scar on me. I guess I could see what sort of future you would have had.” She leans forward and starts to kiss me. This was not some normal kiss. It was a very passionate one. My body was confused at this. I start to squirm underneath her.
I am utterly disgusted at this woman for kissing me!
This was a kiss that I wanted to reject. I hated it! It did not make me feel any warmth.
I start to cry, scream in her mouth, but something silenced my body to shut up. She was thrusting her tongue deep into me, playing with my tongue as well. I tried to force my teeth down to bite on her tongue, but I could not even do that. I feel my body getting accustomed to this kiss.
It was quite…eccentric. I want to tell my mind to ignore this, but it was turning my mind into a fuzzy warm feeling. It was giving me that same warmth I had when Brynhild told me she was flirting with me or the same feeling of being watched over by my knights and maids. I think I can just close my eyes and…
Wait. A slight pain was coming from the corner of all this warmth.
My body quickly realizes what was going on.
I open my eyes and slammed my head against her. I felt the pain against my head since I slam against the force field.The girl breaks out of the kiss because of my violent action.
“Oh, you even stopped me from devouring your soul. Impressive. I know you loved it as well.”
I quickly usher the words, “Fuck off! I cannot believe you almost got me! Get off of me! I do not want to die yet!” The red head girl was amused by my resistance. “At the least, you are nothing though. You are weak against me right now.”
Those words puzzled me. “What do you mean?”
“I just suck most of your experience right out of you. Even though it is worthless to me, I bet you cannot even resist me anymore. I mean, you are back to rank one.”
Those words made my entire body go numb. My mind stopped functioning as well as my heartbeat for a mere second. I felt sorrow engulfing my entire body and soul. It was like I had to start all over again.
“W-what do you mean!? Why did you…” I could not even stop the tears and the sadness that came from my eyes and mouth.
The girl was laughing hysterically.
She was enjoying my pain! How could she!?
“Because why not!? I want to see how you continue on living! I want to see the agony as you continue to fail! I want to know what you will do!? Will you beg me to kill you?! To ask me to devour you so you can feel that stupid warm feeling you miss so much?! I want to see how you fall! I am extremely aroused at such pain, but you, you give such meaning to that exceeds any pain I have ever seen! The despair that I dreamed about actually happened today! I cannot believe this is my lucky day!”
I was sick to the core, but what could I do about this?! It was like this woman just took away everything everyone worked hard to give me. I feel like I was like a useless tool again. How can this world be so cruel!?
“Oh… I want to make you beg me to eat you… Just say the words, and I will. Oh, if you do escape, I will also curse you.” I did not have time to react to the stone that she place into my heart. She carefully placed it against my armor chest, but that stone just enters past the armor and into my heart. My body shakes violently underneath her. I glare at her even if I was in such a pitiful state. “What did you do to me?!”
Gained: Vampire Lust Curse
“Every week, you have to suck the blood of a loved one. It has to be a female. If you do not suck the blood of a loved one, then you will end up into a blood lust vampire for a few days. Why does it have to be a female? Well, I might as well convert you into a lesbian so you can fall in love with me later.”
My face was pale and my mind was being shattered.
How many more things will this woman do? Better question is, what can she do to me now? I am empty. I have no family to run back to. I have no friends or allies to run back to. I have no skills or power to fight against this savage world. I am just being graced by this scarlet Leviathan. Such a sadistic woman...
I guess… I really should accept my death though. It is hopeless. “I seriously cannot stand you. Just end it.” I said in defeat.
“Get the fuck off of the lady!” A familiar voice rang out in the air. The red hair girl eyes at Gale who charges towards her. The woman was shocked at the living black knight. A sudden burst of blue energy erupts from the knight’s blade towards her. The red hair woman blocks it with her shield, but it shattered in an instant. She disperse the energy wave that came at her with one swing of her hand. Her eyes lock onto the black knight. She violently glares at the man. The atmosphere becomes heavy again. I was stuck to the ground, but Gale disappeared.
He reappears in front of the woman, slamming his sword against her energy shield she regenerated. She allows several spikes erupt from her shield towards the armored man. The armor he wore destroyed the spikes upon impact. He grinds his sword against the shield, preparing for a huge attack. A sudden burst of energy erupts against her shield. The woman teleported away from the black knight.
When she did, Gale was already beside her, unleashing another blast. The frantic pursuit made the woman back off. She realizes why she cannot win. She glares viciously at Gale. He stands there with a huge hole in his chest, but the blood did not ooze out. It was sealed by the armor. This knight was releasing a black aura that was similar to her aura running around her. She just makes a clicking sound.
“And I thought it was all a myth. The infamous Black Knights of the Devil Shadow. I guess this is where I withdraw for now. If I were to drag this fight out, it will only make me weaker for other predators. Princess Aisha, my name is Valarie Valentine. I shall see you when you become stronger. You can find me in the Underworld dimension if you ever come there.”
With that, the girl left. I was able to get on my feet, eyeing at Gale. I could feel the heavy armor taking a huge toil on me. I found my chi to be at a very low level. I could barely hold my weapons and I can barely stand. The feeling of being weak brought so much shame to me. I feel my pride and all of my goals crumbling before me.
Gale's strong energy starts to die out. The knight bowing down to me. Blood starts to flow out of his open wound. “I am sorry that I did not stop her. I was still in the process of getting my energy for this moment…” He stops as he was coughing violently. I quickly raise him to his feet, saying in tears, “I-It will be fine! We will get out of here alive! I need to find a high mage healer to get these wounds fixed. Do not die on me!” The knight laughs and pushes me away from him. “I want you to kill me.” Those words were a thorn to my heart. “What!? I cannot…”
“We know you took that pill. Despite the fact that you are rank one, you can gain a huge amount of skill by killing someone right? We know of the ability you acquired from Brynhild. If you want to still venture out in the world and explore to your heart’s content... Kill me! You have no more talent from the years of training we gave you. It was taken away from you by that bitch! I do not want to…”
He coughs madly in his speech, continuing on as he breathes heavily after each sentence, “WE do not want you to go empty handed without our guidance and skills. If we need to die for you, we will gladly do so! You have to kill me! Right now, you are weak- very weak! You have no skills in your sword. You have no skills in the martial arts or the armor you wear! You do not have the stamina or the insights you have gained for the years we trained you! If you kill me, you will regain most of it despite the fact you are rank one! You must!” The knight kneels before me, his life slowly on the verge of death.
“I beg of you! Kill me!” I pick up the blade I dropped, staring at the black knight. It was hard for me to even hold this blade. I eye at Gale. I did not want to kill my knight. He has been loyal to me for so many years. This man before me had helped me master the use of wearing heavy armor personally. He joked around and made training fun. He has a very bright personality and always made light of the heavy situations. Now, he is before me. Dying ever so slowly. The last words he said to me were, “Don’t worry, we will forever watch over you. Make us proud.”
I can feel my hand tremble madly as I grip it with my two hands. I position the sword against his head, closing my eyes. I was going to chicken out. I was going to accept the weak side of me just to save Gale, but I know how prideful my knights were. They would be ashamed of my decision. Their pride will be damaged. They literally gave their lives for me. I cannot ignore such a death wish from my closest friends.
I swing the sword with all my might. I can feel and hear the sword striking through his neck as I beheaded him. I did not open my eyes. I can hear his body falling to the ground. I can feel raindrops against my head as I collapsed to my knees. I discarded the sword from my hands and covered my face with my hands. I killed my own friend. My own family member.

“My lady!” I did not even look to who it was. I know it was one of the black knights. I did not even feel happiness that this knight lived. All I know was this wound in my heart was deep. “Shit…” he utters. I can feel him picking up my swords and picking me up. He carried me bridal style away from that wretched place.
I did not feel well, my entire body numb from the sheer sorrow that engulfed me.
I became unconscious due to my cries of grief.

8 379Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

That one fateful day, he showed up. The man in black. He who acted like this life was just another game. He appeared everywhere. Floating up in the sky. So naturally, but yet strangely eerie. He raised his hand and snapped then… Mutation. ... This is my first story that i've written, and with no education in story-writing, please don't expect anything of quality. I encourage you to give me feedback on my work. On that note, have fun reading! You can expect maybe 1 or 2 chapters per month because I'm really slow at writing. Chapter art courtesy of gej302
