《The War of Two Kinds》Unlisted Tape #001A - The Stoic Maiden and The Childish Fox
Advertisement
Meanwhile, In the Shimaya's household, there holds two sisterly daughters of hers. A rather stoic and calm of a gentle giant to a rather more childish one who always assume the act of play and annoyance. Though considering of two different species of beast, the two somehow were able to communicate and cooperate together.
"Onee-san, Onee-san?!" A rather petite fox girl who wore a pink sakura blossom yukata and a bell accessory for an odd hairpin was looking around left and right. She had a hazelnut tone of hair and it was rather long, reaching her back. It was also currently tied to a ponytail. She was rather busty too for her young appearance. Apparently, she wasn't rather curvaceous, it was more of a magical illusion to over her more low esteem when it comes to her ever slow developing body of an over the age guardian of her size. Speaking between three mixed languages consisting of a Japanese, Korean and English dialect. The tones vary among the family due to their odd span in the eras they were born and raised in.
"Where is she...!?" She shouted to herself really childishly. Her name was Shin-ae, also known as the 'The marksman of the children of the beast'.
In the other side of the household, in the room of the proposed older sister was playing a game in virtual reality. She had a headset on and she was swooping left and right and trusted her hips back and front. She was playing some sort of fighting game simulator. A rather modern technology of games usually played compared to the old styles of personal carrying consoles or the more higher technological advancement known as computers.
BANG
Her room door was busted open, the lock of the door broke. The petite fox girl is quite strong to be able to break down a door with just her palm.
In utter shock, Her sister dropped her headset as she stumbled down. "Ow! What do you want Shin-ae?!" Her older sister asked her as she picked back up her headset and placed it onto her bed gently.
Her sister, however, looked very different compared to her mother or her younger sibling. She wore a purplish night-light yukata and had lovely and silky black hair. She had blue-purplish eyes and had longer hair reaching near her bums, it wasn't tied up however in any shape or form. Her ears a fluffy short tone of darkish-blue similar to the night melty skies, it wasn't as point compared to her other two residents of the house. A theory is that she may as well be adopted or genuinely strong towards the old alpha of the house that once existed in this so called, residence.
"Where's mother!?" The little runt screamed in question just like a child would do if they lost their most important thing in their world, whether human or object.
"Calm down Shin-ae, She went to the human realm to have a meeting with the human military generals." The stoic one spoke who tried to quiet down her sister by rubbing her rather fluffy hair and miniature doll-like head.
"Fine, I will just wait then." Shin-ae crossed her arms and plops herself onto her sister's bed as she made a annoyed grunt. The plopping was given in such inhuman like strength, the bed made a creaking noise, as a spring squeaked loudly like a rat escaping from its grasp of a predator.
"Hey hey, don't go trying to break my bed, silly. She will be back I promise. She is just interviewing a human male who was found still alive." She explained to Shin-ae, as she sat by her with a small smile.

"Human...Male? No Fair! Why is there no guardian male alive!? Why human male, they are so lucky as fuck!" Shin-ae cussed out in disbelieve of her sister's sudden topic.
"Hey hey language, don't say those words at this age, I don't even say it, how did you know that word...don't tell me you watch way too much inappropriate videos?" She asked, curious to know how her young miniature sister could swear as much as a sailor at sea with her small world of knowledge.
"Hngh- Maybe...." She smirks with a cheeky face as she pouts herself a cheek of red marshmallows with a sense of bratty insult. 'Or perhaps, its mother who is so frustrated everynight that she pleasure herself a little to abruptly loud!'
The older sister shakes her head while palming an emotion of slight annoyance towards her face. ("Seriously, Shimaya, jeez.") She thought in her head.
"Anyway, look at the time haha... I ought to go visit the Human Realm as per I sense the test is calling out for me." She fakes a watch on her wrist and chuckles, as she gets up from her bedside.
"What, you too? Jee, Shin-ae is starting to get really pissy now. Everytime, there's a job, both of you just leave me here all alone! I cannot even visit my friends!" She started yelling in a somber tantrum.
"Hoi! Quit shouting, or Miss Hundenberg will come here and complain to mother, jeez, could you just chill... perhaps? Maybe if I get to know if the human male is truly a good person or not, maybe, just maybe I could introduce you to him and perhaps you could be guardian too." She negotiated in a very sly tone. 'Is that alright for you, Shin-ae?'
'Really, really?! Shin-ae is glad. I will now gift more sweets to sister soon.' The runt childishly shouted with an excited call.
"That's only when you faster train your aura and turn to your stage three alright. I am pretty sure the human male doesn't like little girls screaming in his ear all day." The older sister teased her younger sibling.
"Unless.... he is a pedophile which I disbelief because I am not truthfully and his aura is quite similar with mine so he is probably like me, yea?" She asked herself.
"Anyway, I got to go Shin-ae, see you later." She points her index finger and makes a round circle, opening a portal.
"Bye Onee-san!" She waves happily but deep within with drooping fox ears, she feels saddened to be abandoned once again.
...
In the book of archives, there holds a quick summary of the stages that a Guardian goes through every once in their life. These beings are pretty much ageless. Being light and crystal reflections, these beings are able to change themselves at will, but, with a rather cost. Aura energy also known commonly in the human realm is a type of energy that vibrates among the essence of both an individual and their surroundings. For humans, it is much rather a form of Ki in the yin and yang of depository usages. Though useless in the past modern era. It is now used to indicate psychologically if an individual is actually in pain or balanced in their pathways.
For guardians however, it is used very stereotypical as their level of power. The more whiteness and purity they gain in the power cultivation, through training or by other means of their species are advised with, the stronger they get with the chance to ascend themselves to a more higher form of power. This power when used during the past eras in the human realm were considered blessings. Because of the immense and rather mysteriousness of these human look-alike powers, they were praised and considered, deities. Till this day, they are still taken care and praised through the ever popular power of mythos, legends or folk tales that generations per generations level through. Not only helping the guardian itself to maintain its power, but to also absorb the multiple people's believe in it to hold a much greater power than their actual normal strength that holds. Call it an overfilled bag of knowledge.

However the darker their energy are, the more slowly these individuals fall into an utter state of madness. Not only cursing those they seem to suddenly have a feeling of hatred, but the pure raw energy of darkness, cause them to fall into despair, perhaps gaining the urge of sadism, masochism and also losing all hope. In this state known as corruption, whether naturally losing such as grief, greed or pathetic pride or man-made out of torture from green-eyed individuals who suggest a sense of curiosity into the unknown. They will then fall into a stage known as the Corrupted. In this state it is hard to tell what they plot or want to do, sometimes they may just stand like a pillar , staring at the void while there could be a few, wailing themselves into countless bloodshed just for the sake of calming their senile tendencies. Sometimes, they may even corrupt a pitiful human soul just so they can do their bidding. This is what causes the state known as heresy. Introducing the many old tales of demons, onis, witches and warlocks. Perhaps a few more modern people with unknown power to force people to kill innocents. Sometimes, there's also a case of an already corrupted human who contracts themself a corrupted guardian just for the sake of shared villainy, the typical assholes to encounter.
Though sounding dangerous and unstoppable, these corrupted humans and guardians are actually curable, but with a rather dangerous cost. An already strong individual of a human or guardian have to outstandingly with true righteousness and hope fight a one-to-one with the certain individual. If its shared, the rather so called 'hero' have to do so with their own contracted guardian. Upon the defeat of the corrupted, the two corrupted beings have to be separated as far as possible. With an even amount of aura energy, the corruption guardian's cracked crystal can slowly fix itself and return to their respective state. The human however, may have to go for countless times of therapy and some times of calming meditation to suit their already darkened brain.
This is how a guardian's state of mind and powers of level works.
Then, there comes their four levels in ascendancy. First is their pure ascendance. At this form, this considered their first level, nicknamed 'The Light'. In this form, they spark into existence and is able to traverse the many realms, whether ethereal or physical. Not having a physical form, they consider a more IO-esque form of light They cannot communicate but they have the power to manipulate the environment through their selective power of choice of their birth.
The second level is known as the purity gaining ascendance. In this form known as 'The Child', they may physically alter themselves to their physical environment. Sometimes in a form of a beast or perhaps a measly child. There are cases where both are intertwined. Their sudden transformation, leads them countless dangers due to their sudden urge of curiosity and learning. Sometimes learning very wrong things in the process, leading them to a more demonic based of ascendancy. Even if their good by heart, their methods will be rather dangerous to the eyes of a human through their actions. Nowadays, in the modern era, they are adopted and taken care by the later stages of ascended guardians, whereas comes stage three.
Known as 'The Adult' stage. This is where the knowledge and the wavelengths of ones guardian is balanced and not too fragile. They learn the laws of nature and perhaps also the ways of how a human lives. With their already immense knowledge, they sometimes can skip classes after classes and reach to higher forms of education in the physical realm. Mostly considered prodigies, they have access to very high forms of education and work-spaces. Some of them sometimes playfully possesses a human who is already a genius themselves to not only help but to also guide them to a rather peaceful and calming relationship. This is how a couple for human and guardian integration comes to play. Though not much is said, normal everyday humans who somehow stumbles upon this states, will not only be treated with a holy level of respect but with as much care and love more than a mother could give. This is what they call the angel effect. Heavenly beings who bless the common man with unknown strange powers or high levels of intelligence. From rags to riches, they say. Sometimes most of these stages would remain at this form as long as they want, with or without a companion of a fellow guardian or a human in rare cases. Perhaps a normal life they sought, but an early death for the human only leads them to a state of grief and realization of the cycle of life. Sometimes this guardians may have copulated with hundreds or more partners if they so wished. Blessing their family tree with unique and special individuals that could change the already pathetic world to a better.
Finally we have stage four, known as 'The Deity'. Exceeding maximum knowledge and strength, they are publicly known for their holy actions towards the very tyranny and heresy that pollutes both worlds. With the power of an iron fist, they can bless the humans with strength and lead them to a very fruitful day. Not much is said, but as deities, they are not as strong as the first guardian, nameless by truth but considered many different alterations. These is who anyone would call 'The God'. No one knows how god looks like nor the respective gender it is but what one can know is that, its power exceeds so greatly of even the world itself and the infinite possibilities of realities, that it is simultaneously able to both guide the ways of the many variations of one individual in the many doors that exist. But with its fair share, there is also its evil counterpart, the corrupted counterpart known as 'The Devil'. Worse than a hurricane and worse than evil itself, it torments any being to a state of madness and always whisper evil intent to those who seek mercy in their utter state of uselessness. But with these two, it is confirmed. There is only one God and only one Devil. The rest are messengers and so called 'angels' who lead their own tasks and assignments given by the two higher individuals. If they so call accept it.
Weapons blessed and crafted by guardians are a common story among men. 'The Unbreakable Armor', 'The Apple of Eden' and the ever so famous one, 'Excalibur' were some of the few examples that so called existed in these past times of yore' and unknown conspiracy. Though considered nowadays as just stories, these old heirlooms are passed down from generations to generations to remind themselves of a guardian who once protected the very ancestor who contracted with the fellow guardian.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
