Sorry for the delay all, thanksgiving hit me hard and had guest over my house. Now that things slowed down some I’ll try to post weekly again till near x-mas.
As always can use a few reviews to see how people think and if can use a proof reader ^^
Also seem I error on the char sheet he should have 30 stats points not 25, my bad.
since i was late trying to do a longer post.
----- Samael POV-----
I smiled as I dumped all my points in to strength and started to chuckle some. Which cause my teeth to chatter and cracks formed giving a look as if I was smiling. Sophie watched me and tilted her head as I grinned. “Well I decided to use my bonus points finally.” I smiled and showed her my new stats

Sophie looked at me and had a wondering look on her face. I just chucked some,” You are wondering why I put all them in to Strength aren’t you?” I watched as she nodded her head. “Well it fairly simple really. Due to my race bonus I figure I can skip adding points to get more HP , because from what I seen I got more hp then most of the undead I fight.” Sophie’s head nodded some as I talked.” I was thinking of putting some in to Intelligence or maybe Wisdom to get more magic attack power or more mana regeneration. However, even at the best it been at most 6 more magic damage or 3 more mp per minute. So if I drained my whole 300 mana pool it still take one hour and 15 minutes to recover. However, with the same time, I could add 3 to my physical attack and with my endless stamina, It seemed to be a better bet to bet on something that not run out. Also even later once I find how to remove this curse it will nearly double my stats one day. However, first got to get out of here and to settlement and maybe hit a temple to pray and hope I can learn some new information from Nox that can help me.
I leaned back and sighted some as stretched some since I not use to talking a lot in one sitting. “Well for right now I need a lvl or 2 more then maybe I hit another mausoleum or a crypt." I looked around some and noticed a small back stone that had some sort of smoke coming off it. I could feel my eyes burn brighter as my curiosity spike and a touch the little rock lightly. I could feel a light burning sensation and pulled my finger back.”Odd, this little rock hot to the touch but I do not see why” I leaned in closer and started harder at the rock till a window popped up.
I thought as I looked around the barren ground some and noted a few small dark stone that looked similar to the one I just picked up.” Well first let head back to the mausoleum for now and test out my new Strength and see how that goes first.” I slowly stood up and grunted as my bones shifted. “Man I feel old..” Sophie started to laugh at me as I said that.” Oh hush you, you got it easy floating out” I grunted some and sighed.

“Hey not my fault I float, just a trait of my race.” Sophie said as she grinned at me.” Besides I just watching over you so not get to over your head.” She smiled and looked around some.
I shrugged some before we started walk and talk. I started to look at the ground at times and found a few more small fragments of the mysterious ore and put them in to my bag of holding. Took us a short trip to get back to the mausoleum and peeked back in. still standing there was the undead Noble and his 4 guards. “Well still the same in there. Let’s clear the area around first, so have more room to fight safely in.” Sophie nodded and followed me as I pick out a skeleton. “First let’s do a test to see how strong I am now.”
I moved up near a lone lvl 3 Skeleton and suddenly slashed it neck. A loud chattering hear as it then ratted some and turned around to face me. I waited until it was looking right at me and rammed my dagger right in to it eye socket firmly and twisted it. Right away, the skeleton came apart in to a pile of bones.
Gained 60 Exp
“Well that was a lot easier than before” I nodded some and grinned some. My jaw creaking some as I did so, cracks healed back up after a moment. “Now a few more to be sure and then I take on the guards.” I moved around quickly hacking down the skeletons around the mausoleum and took a few pieces of them for later use.
“Alright Sophie I going to see if I can draw out the guards if it become necessary might need you to hold the noble back. Not sure how strong the guards are so I might need the time. Sophie nodded and moved around to the side and gave me a thumbs up. I nodded back and looked inside the mausoleum, and targeted the nearest guard. I hit it with a Burn causing a flare of flames to burst out of it skull. All 4 of them turned to face me and started to run in with their shields raised. As they got closer, I could see the light armor still on them and the woven leather shields they carried. Each one had either a sword or a small ax in hands. I quickly back up little till just outside of the entrance and blasted another one with Burn. It stumbled little as it got it exposed leg and slowed down.
Spoiler :
“So far so good,” I nodded some and took a quick look at the noble, he stood there watching the guards, seemly unimpressed. ”Keep a eye on him Sophie.” I warned her feeling something was off but had to focus on the guard that just stepped in front of me, some smoke still drifting from it eyes sockets. I grinned some as it raised it sword up and swung down. I quickly slashed back with my dagger and pushed the sword aside and kicked out it’s kneed. A loud crack resounded as the leg twisted staggering the guard.
I surprised but ignored the window as I pushed the shield aside some and stabbed its sternum and twisted the tip. A few more windows popped up which I ignored also. As I was getting ready to attack, a short ax blade suddenly appeared behind the guard and hit my left shoulder. A guard pushed the injured one aside and got ready to attack again. I growled some and slashed at its exposed knees using Fury Slash. There was a soft snap and it fell on to its back. The other 2 guards started to push back forcing the injured one outside.

“Well I’m glad you 4 are not too bright “I rolled aside and got up quickly, noting some damage flash due to the movement. I backed up a few steps and looked at the group. One down, one seemed heavily damaged and 2 other in full health. I started to laugh some, which made them stop and looked at me. I felt something
I not felt in years. Not since, I fought in a way back when. It was a near forgotten feeling of enjoying a real fight. As I grinned at the guards I quickly fired a burn at the closest one face and moved quickly over to the fallen one. As it looked up I just smiled down at it and dropped on to my knees on it chest just before I drove my dagger through it skull. I then quickly moved as I saw a exp window pop up, telling me it was defeated.
Another tings of pain moved down my spine from a light scrap I got from a sword slash I barely dodged. Quickly I twist on one leg and stood up; my bones protesting the rough movements showing more damage than the attack I dodged. I then jumped forward nearly slamming face to face with the guard and slammed a knee in to its inner thighs, messing up it balance some. As it staggered a quickly pushed, my dagger right through it ribs and out the other side. Getting stuck for a moment. I then heard some notice from inside the mausoleum and felt a small shake.
“You OK Sophie?” I called out as I grabbed my own wrist and jerked my arm out of the guard’s chest, its sword arm fell off. I nodded to myself.
“Yes seem the noble in here a magic caster, so hurry up~” I heard Sophie called back out.
“OK nearly done out here” I called back and ducked under a sword slash, I then grabbed the shield before twist it out of the guards grip, The dry bone breaking. “Sorry it nothing personal I just need to get stronger.” I looked at the guard and smiled, my elbow in to the side of its skull before them slashing it neck. I then jumped back and ended it with another cast of burn. While the last 2 still standing and marched forward to face me, I just smiles some, I could feel my eyes burning brighter as it stared at them. I stepped closed to the uninjured one. it quickly used it ax to attack me just as I hoped. As soon as it attacks, I stepped aside a little to dodge it and use a low kick on it leg. Since it balance was destroyed it easy fell, I quickly jumped over it. The slightly burnt one seems to be faster than I thought because I felt it sword stab right through my ribs. However luckily I did not do too much damage as it barely it any bones. I just smiles and grabbed slammed my closed first in to both sides of its’ skull, large cracks formed easily. My hands felt numb as they started to fracture also from the stress of the attack and grunted softly. I twisted my body some hooked a leg behind its leg, helping knock it over. Since I still stuck on the sword I fell with it, using the momentum I smashed my elbow in to one of the cracks, which shattered the skull.
“Glad I got endless stamina or I be tired by now” I grunted and started to move away from the guard. I then felt instance pain in my left foot. I looked down at it flipped over. looking at the ax wielding guard I noticed me foot was severed, making it difficult to stay balanced. “OK you” I glared at the guard and casted Burn on it twice, one on each leg to slow it down some. I hobbled as I moved around it. It kept turning to face me but stopped walking. I could see it legs near the breaking point. I however did not want to use more mana as I might need it against the Noble so I stepped just out of its’ range, I took a long moment to calm myself a little as I knew I getting to excited and might make a big mistake.
I thought as I drew out the old copper sword and held the dagger in my right hand. I stepped in and use the sword to defect the incoming attack enough to I could take a step close. As soon as I was close enough, I thrust my dagger out using Fury Thrust, stabbing the guard right through it chest and severed the spine. The lights in it skull went out as its’ body came apart. I took a step back and looked at the bodies around and and grabbed a piece of leather that looked like a vest as I head to the where Sophie was.
“OK I’m coming, back up some” I called out as I stepped in and looked inside. The Noble stood near the middle of the room and casting a spell. I noticed she seem hurt, likely from the prior spells. Since it was not watching out for me I moved in closer and as I felt the magic gathering I suddenly casted Burn right to the back of its head. I did notice the damage it took was weaker then the guards, likely due to what it was wearing. I looked its over some, noting the cloak and, what used to be, nice fabric. All of it had some holes from rats and moths. As I watch the noble it turned around facing me and drew out a sword.
“How dare you try to rob my tomb!” it grunted out dryly and looked at me. It lifted its sword over its shoulder and started to close in on me. I was shocked as the noble the first one to talk besides Sophie.
“Hey wait there not need to fight “I called out to Noble and stepped back barely dodged a quick downward slash.
“There is no choice since you enter my place of rest, you till die here and now by my hand !” as he talked his sword glowed a light blue.
As soon as saw the glow alarm bells went off in my mind and gathered all the rage I could and slashed at the sword using my copper sword. Which seems a good idea because the next moment his sword’s slash aiming right for my neck. Luckily, my sword intercepted it but large cracks started to form in it.
"So you know how to fight as well?” the Noble looked at me and pushed me back a little slowly. “Well then let see how you take this!” his free hands pointed right at me and I know what was coming, as I did the same not moments ago.”Fire Bolt!” I staggered back at the point black attack and grunted noticing that one attack took 20 hp off me easily. ”Damn that hit hard,” I grunted deeply as took a step closer, and slash at the Nobles wrist holding the sword noticed soon as it hit him how tough he was compared to the guards as my dagger barely sunk in to the bones at all.
I could tell he was grinning as he drew back its sword while it started to cast again. As soon as I saw it move start to move I quickly yell out “Burn!” filling it mouth with flames with seem to stop it for the moment. However, it swung it sword again, which I tried to dodge but sadly missed by a step. The swipe took my left hand off easily. Which seem to surprise it as it kept moving unable to stop its attack. I quickly moved over and slashed along it back with two fast attacks before it started to recover and turning to face me. After taking one of his attacks head on and seeing the damage, I decided to switch style some. I gripped the noble’s wrist and pushed it open as I looked at it. Noble just smiles and suddenly casted s spell I never heard of before. “Flash Sweat!”. As soon as I heard, I started to cast Burn at it.
“Do not cast any more fire spells at him!” I hear Sophie yell out at my suddenly right as my spell complete and hit my target. I soon noticed something was wrong and a wave of heat hit me. I could see a wave of heat coming off the Noble.
“What the hell did he do?” I called out and circled around, a few times touching the edge of the heat wave. Noting that steady amount of damage each time I enter the area.
“It’s a spell that makes a area around the caster the outputs a lot of heat and can nullify low lvl fire attacks.” Sophie told me as I backed up some.
I thought and looked at him some tried to think what to do.
“May my anger burn my enemy and freeze his soul, Frost fire bolt !” noble chanted out.
“Dodge it !” Sophie yelled out to me and I tried to move but it slammed right in to my chest. A cold feeling spread out in my chest the burned. Kind of felt like dry ice, which I one time I touched it without a glove. I looked at my hp noticing that it took a huge chuck out of it, nearly 45 hp that was shocking to me. As I stumbled back I felt the pain spike for a moment and saw 6 more hp shaved off.
“AGgghhhh fuck that hurts..” I grabbed my chest and struggled to stand back up, my eyes focused on the Noble and ground my teeth together.
“that a rank 2 spell that allows you to mix 2 elemental bolts in to one spell to do more damage.” Sophie called out watching me; a worried look crossed her face as I move. Fragments of bone fell off as I stood back up.
“Seems it does damage over time as well” I grunted out softly and growled some. My hp started to drop under 75 already. My hand held on to my dagger as I walked over, seems lucky the mp of the Noble seem to be nearly empty since a second shot did not follow up right away. However the spell around him still in effect it seems for a while.
“How long will it last?” I asked Sophie as I circled slowly.
“Around 10 mins give or take” Sophie informed me.
“I guess waiting not a option.. Well I can think of only one way now..” I sighed and focused inwards enter a trance like state I learned nearly 15 years ago. “Stay clear Sophie, this is going to be a bit rough.” I sighed deeply and dug deep down in to my mind, looking for something I not used in a long while. I quickly found what I wanted. Something I hid from many people a small burning core a rage that I locked down by meditating nearly every other day at lest. As I started to release the mental bounds I could feel that air around me vibrate before I opened my eyes.
----- Sophie’s POV -----
I watched Samael as he stopped moving and then warned me to stay back. I moved around carefully keeping out of the way; however close enough to see what happened. I was getting ready to jump in seeing him take a frost fire bolt. That spell does a lot of damage 18 in fire and 18 in ice plus int modifier. It a third 2 rank spell but the mp used is also massive.I could see he was not going to back down at all even as his life was slowly being shaved away. His eyes burned brighter i warned him of a the effects trying to stay out of his way.
“Stay back Sophie this is going to be a bit rough.” I hear him tell me as his eyes slowly dimmed down till nearly out. He just stood there for a show while, when suddenly a dark aura formed around him. As I watched the aura wrapped around him and I heard some of his bones start to snap and grind against bone. Deep red eyes peek out of the shadows and stared at the noble undead in the middles. A loud chatting started as Samael stepped out of the shadows or at least I think it was. His look has changed some his teeth seemed sharper, his fingertips looked like claws now. Even his skull looked different, as cracks formed around them giving him a more viscous look.
Spoiler :
(credit to overlord ^^ all hail Ainz Ooal Gown!)
“rrrrRRaaAA !!!” a resounding roar echoed in the small chamber as his dark red eyes forced on on the Noble.” You have made a big mistake…” his voice sounded deeper as the dark area wrapped around his bones.
“What happened to him?” I looked as he stepped forward slowly in to the area effect of “Heat Sweat” the main drawback of the spell the cost and if use by the living, cause them to sweat reducing charisma by 9 points due to sweating.
I stay back and watch the end of this fight.
----- Samael’s POV -----
I grunted softly as I felt the burning rage flow through my body, gritting my teeth as felt my body breaking and resetting. The darkness I kept inside for all these years finally leaking out. The last time I let go was when I was stabbed in the chest, where I went off snapping the attackers arm in multiple locations. I end up leaving his good arm completely ruined. The pain was intense for the moment but I just growled out to release the pain and opened my eyes slowly. I looked at my hands the tip more sharper and seem like make good weapons. I then saw a window floating in front of my eyes.
System Error !
I then looked at the noble and grins darkly as I suddenly dashed in, this new dark aura seemed to keep the effect of the heat from damaging me. As Noble looked shocked for a moment I moved in and rammed my new claws right in to its chest. “Well now goodbye..” I then roared deeply and twisted my hands around and activated Fury Slash, which ripped its ribbed and spine right in 2. The light in its eyes started to fade.
“I do not know who you are…but do not loose, keep fighting and stand on top. I never seen one like you before…avenge my people on that goddess.” he grunted out before crumbling in to a pile of broken bones. After it was all over I stood there for a while, looking down at the pile flexing my new hands some.
“Do not worry I’m going to keep climbing up till I defeat and destroy Kohena, even if I got to become a god or a demon to do it.” I reached down, took a dark black cloak, and threw it over my shoulders. Then I looked at the newest windows.

I smiled some as I walked over to start to check the room for items and I suddenly felt weak and,for the first time, fell 'asleep'.
----- The Underworld -----
Nox: “Well now seem he done something few have done. He really did know that deep down he not a ‘good’ man that there was darkness in his heart and soul”
??? “Indeed but because of that it seem he can maybe do what's needed now, to over throw this corrupted world.”
Nox:”Well I hope he comes to my side soon so I can lend him some aid.”
???: ”in time I’m sure, seem he set his aim to being our equal some day. Still I surprise he was able to embrace his inner darkness so easily. Seem we got lucky.”
Nox: “that’s is true” she nodded some slowly “ maybe in his old world he knew what he was deep down and just kept it under control so could live with people. Time will tell, at worst just means soon things will get busy and more entertaining.” She smiles and giggles lightly.

8 143I Totally Don't Have Anger Problems!
Discontinued 7/11/2020 Sorry if anyone was hoping for more updates. It seems I'm losing interest in the character as time goes on - not sure if that's due to miscalculated character development direction or just a limited amount to express in the first place. If I do any writing projects in the future, I'll make sure the premise has a lot of room for long-term, interesting, development before posting anything. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback! I’m Talia Shimada, and my life just got a lot more complicated. One moment I was just doing some regular investigation of an interesting boy from my senior year in high school, and then suddenly, everything went wrong and I was stranded in another world in the middle of nowhere. It’s not my fault he left a clear line of sight to his house keys where they could be photographed and replicated on a 3D printer! Now I’m stuck in the middle of a giant forest with all these annoying creatures that keep attacking me until I SMASH THEM INTO PIECES AND STOMP ON THEIR REMAINS, surviving off of raw meat and, well, other kinds of raw meat. What, am I supposed to know which plants are edible in some far-away wilderness on another PLANET!? This is a planet right? It has to be! What did I do to deserve this? At least that class I got is useful. Now, when something doesn’t do what it’s supposed to, I can keep smashing it until it CAN’T BE A PROBLEM ANY MORE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL! If anyone else tries to get in the way of my plans, I’ll just PICK UP THEIR PUNY BODIES AND THROW THEM ASIDE and watch them sail away, never to trouble me again, because I am DONE having people mess with my life and not being able to do anything about it! From now on, anyone who tries will get to briefly realize their error as I SMASH THEM INTO PASTE BECAUSE THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE WRONG WOMAN! I totally don’t have anger problems! Updates Sundays and Wednesdays, occassionaly Fridays
