So, I just felt like writing more...sorry about that. Not much to say...I am just wasting space. I tried?

I am currently running towards the black sword’s hideout, Pooch is currently with me. Nero wanted to come, but I told him that I could take care of it. I gave him a few gold coins, so he they should be fine while I am away. Based on first enemies I have fought, the members of the black swords are nothing, and this will also serve as a training.

I have been running for 2 weeks straight, pooch isn’t running cause I hugging him tightly.

“There, after that fog formation, on a small hill, you will see the path leading to the hideout”(Pooch)

“Good, It’s been a long time since I have killed someone”(Shera)

“So, you are finally gonna show me your strength.”(Pooch)

“I want to test my strength, so you stay out of it, and silently sit when we get to their hideout ok?...or you could kill those that try to runaway.”(Shera)

“It’s actually better for me, less work. I doubt anyone could run away from you, so, could I eat the corpses?”(Pooch)

“You could eat the ones I killed.”(Shera)

I started running again, when I got past the fog, I saw a forest. In the middle of the forest there is a hill, after circling I found a tunnel. Even at my fastest speed it took a few days to get to the other side of the tunnel. Inside, I saw another forest, but this time, there are a lot of houses, not to mention the people walking around.

I started killing everyone In front of me, their bodies were so fragile that It didn’t even take a lot of effort to separate their heads from their body. I used the corpses as a shield against projectiles, there were even flames coming at me from time to time, It looks like they have people that can use magic.

Since I still didn’t know how to use magic, I used the corpses as projectiles and threw them to the mages and archers. From time to time, strong people would show up, but I can still handle them. Luckily, I have an almost infinite stamina. I continued to kill everyone, and it took a few days before I reached the leader of the black swords.

The leader was surprisingly strong…well he is the leader after all. In terms of strength we are at the same level, but as the battle continued, he slowly got tired which gave me the upper hand. Well it took 4 days to kill all members of the black swords in the forest, let’s see if my memory serves me right, I have killed 2000 swordsman, 700 archers, and 400 mages. Not bad for my first serious battle on this world…I think.

After the long battle, I didn’t even feel a change in my body…I am not thirsty, I am not hungry, and I am also not tired. Ah, who cares, I’ll go back to the others. I wonder if I got stronger while fighting the black swords, probably not, they were too weak.

I took the leader’s head, and put it in a bag, that I have bought before I went here. The blood of this guy will disable the armband, and his head could fetch some money in the mercenary guild.

“As I thought, you are dangerous”(Pooch)

“Come on, it was obvious that you have higher physical strength”(Shera)

Ah, I blurted it out…is he gonna rebel now that he knows he is stronger?

“…what’s the point of that, if I would lose all my stamina without doing anything. You would endlessly regenerate until I lose my strength”(Pooch)

I can regenerate? I didn’t know…don’t want to try it…too risky.

“…Let’s forget about that for now, let’s head back to the city”(Shera)

It took another 2 weeks before we were able to return. After presenting the black sword leader’s head, my fame rose…again. The siblings were in good health so I guess nothing bad happened while we were away. Since we would be travelling, I told Nero and Ciela to join the adventurer’s guild. With my help, they safely got their plates, Ciela got a wooden plate, while Nero got a silver one.

Spoiler :

Everyone in the city celebrated the fall of the black swords, there are still some left, since not all members were there when I went there. Since most of their members, especially the leaders, are dead, I doubt they would do anything big.

Anyways, my name has already reached everyone on the city, and I am already being called the goddess of destruction…the name sound cool so I won’t say anything. People started to gather around me, and the inn I am staying at, said I could stay for free. My anger has already subsided, so I don’t feel like killing them anymore, and since Nero already said it is fine, I’ll let them go…I am surprisingly benevolent.

I got 100 gold coins for killing the leader of the black swords, even though I gave the head to the mercenary guild, my adventurer’s rank also got raised, I am now a Gold(Mid) rank adventurer. Not that it makes me happy…it’s just that, it is something I got through my efforts.

Right now, I am planning to check my new stats, make a party with Nero and Ciela, and join a caravan that will go outside of the desert. I am sick of this sand,I want to go to grassy plains. A few days after my return, I went to the adventurer’s guild with the siblings, the whole guild was quiet as we walked to the counter.

“I would like to form a party with these 2” I pointed my fingers at the siblings.

“I…Is that so, that would be 10 silver coins Shera-sama”(Man at the counter)

The people around here started calling me with honorifics…not that I mind, It just that, I am starting to look like a divine being again. I took out a gold coin and gave it to the man at the counter.

“By the way, can I check my stats?”(Shera)

“Ah, yes. Checking the stat is 5 copper coins, and it is 1 silver coin if you want to update your plate”(Man at the counter)

“Add, that to my bill, and keep the change”(Shera)

“A…thank you Shera-sama”(Man at the counter)

We were guided to the room with 10 floating orbs, first I checked my stats.

So I lost 2 titles and got a new one…and it looks like my birthday is near. For the level…its 124 hahahaha let’s see, 54 + 54 is 108…124 – 108 is 16…hahahaha.

*snap*

HOW DID I LEVEL UP SO FAST?

“I…is everything ok Shera-sama?”(Man)

“Look” I showed him my plate.

“1…124?”(Man)

“WHAT?”(Nero & Ciela)

“As expected of my master, to double her level in just a few months”(Pooch)

“WHAT?”(Man, Nero & Ciela)

“...Anyways, what do we have to do, to make a party?”(Shera)

“You just have to write the names of the party members, and the name of the party”(Man)

…I don’t know how to write.

“Nero, you write”(Shera)

“I…I don’t know how to write”(Nero)

“Ciela”(Shera)

“…I also don’t know how to write”(Ciela)

“Pooch”(Shera)

“…How do you expect me to write?” Pooch made me look at his paws.

“I could write it for you, that would be an extra 10 copper coins…but I will deduct it on the gold coin from before”(Man)

“…Thanks”(Shera)

We gave our plates to the man.

“So what’s the party name?”(Man)

I looked at Nero & Ciela.

“It’s ok, we will go with whatever you want”(Nero)

“You are the party leader, so it is only normal that you pick the party name”(Ciela)

It’s time to show them my awesome naming sense.

“Good, I’ll go with ‘Pooch Lovers’ “(Shera)

“NO”(Pooch, Nero & Ciela)

“Why? It sounds cute.”(Shera)

“Please think of another name”(Nero)

“Master, I am not even a part of the party”(Pooch)

“…then how about ‘Shera & Friends’ ?”(Shera)

“NO”(Pooch, Nero & Ciela)

We argued for a few hours before finally getting a decent name…I don’t know why they didn’t like the first names I said, I mean, Pooch Lovers, sounds good.

“Ok, so the party name will be Stygian Cipher.”(Man)

We nodded…but I was still a bit sad that we didn’t use Pooch Lovers.

“Don’t be sad master, the party name sounds really good.”(Pooch)

“I think so too, even though I don’t know what it means”(Ciela)

“As long as it sounds normal…”(Nero)

After that we went to Nero & Ciela’s house, it was a 1 floored building on the outer part of the city. It was made out cement…or at least something that looks like cement. It was quite well made, there are 3 rooms, one was open, and is used as a kitchen. The house was more or less empty, except for a few paintings and furniture. I sat on the chair, while hugging pooch.

“So, how do we get to the next city? Do we wait for a caravan going outside of the desert?”(Shera)

“…if you want, you could buy our own wagon, and travel outside ourselves. As long as we have a map, I would be enough as a guide”(Nero)

“What if I buy you a map, and we ran to the next city?”(Shera)

“Master, they are not like you. They will need food and water…and they probably can’t run for 1 month straight like you. Even a divine beast like me can’t move like you”(Pooch)

“You’re a divine beast?”(Shera, Nero & Ciela)

“I understand if Nero & Ciela didn’t know…but…master, you didn’t know? I showed you my true form a dozen of times already.”(Pooch)

“How would I know, you only looked like a big ass lion.”(Shera)

“Master…that hurts a bit. Even I could get hurt you know”(Pooch)

“…Sorry, but to think you were a divine beast…are the others that I saw in the mirage desert also divine beasts?”(Shera)

“You ventured to the mirage desert?”(Nero)

“What kind of place is that brother?”(Ciela)

“I heard that gods and divine beast live in that desert. It is written in books that I borrowed from the black swords.”(Nero)

“Just as Nero said, I have stayed in the mirage desert for more than a hundred thousand years. I am one of the 8 animal gods that live on the mirage desert.”(Pooch)

“He…so you were a god. I didn’t know. Anyways, time to buy a wagon”(Shera)

“Master, don’t push my story aside like some unimportant thing, that you don’t need to know”(Pooch)

“…Not that anything will change if we know you are a god”(Shera)

“THERE IS!”(Nero & Ciela)

“Huh?” I started directly into Nero’s eyes.

“Nothing” Nero turned his head to the side with a red face. Why is his face red? Did he drink alcohol?

I went out of the house, and started walking, but stopped. I forgot pooch…I went back to the house, and carried pooch on my arms. We started roaming around the city, in search of a store that sells wagons. Since it was going nowhere, I started asking people, and quickly found a store. I should have asked earlier.

I was welcomed by the store owner, and guided me to his best works. He showed me different wagons, but they didn’t really look good, he kept going on and on about how his works can cope with different weathers. We continued to move around the store until I found something.

“Master, no…please, have mercy…we would stick out like a sore thumb if we use that”(Pooch)

“T…the monster could talk?”(Store owner)

“Forget about that, how much is this wagon?” I pointed at the pink colored caravan with frills. It was elevated by 1.5 feet, and had 6 iron wheels. The top is covered with a pink wood instead of cloth, and there was enough space for 12 people, inside the wagon.

“Ah, I knew you would like that. That is one of my best creations, it is made for nobles, but I think it would also suit a fine lady such as yourself”(Store owner)

Quit the sweet talk, and tell me how much this is.

“…So how much?”(Shera)

“This one costs 50 gold coins, but for you, I will sell it at 48”(Store owner)

“Deal” I quickly took out 48 gold coins and gave it to the store owner.

“Don’t expect me to enter that fluffy looking caravan”(Pooch)

“By the way, we could add a logo at the back. If you want have something in mind then please tell me, don’t worry, it will be for free.”(Store owner)

I looked at pooch and smiled.

“No…no, just no”(Pooch)

“Could you please draw pooch’s face on the caravan?”(Shera)

“NOOOOOO” Pooch tried to revert back to his true form, but I made him faint by hitting the back of his head.

“As you wish.”(Store owner)

The store owner called 3 palans, they quickly painted pooch’s face on the back of the caravan, and I am quite satisfied. The store owner gave me an offer, I could get 2 horses for just 2 gold coins, I didn’t really know anything about price but since he said some convincing words, I took the offer.

By the time pooch woke up, the caravan was already in front of Nero’s house, and a large picture of his face could be seen at the back. The horses are currently at the side of the house, resting.

“…We are supposed to ride this? Nero tell this stupid master of mine how foolish her actions are”(Pooch)

“W…what? I think our caravan is cute”(Shera)

Is there something wrong with my taste? I mean, this caravan really looks good, and I am pretty sure the others would agree.

“I think it is ok, as long as Shera is happy”(Nero)

See? Even Nero thinks it is good.

“Nero? Are you blind? Look at all this frills, and this color, not to mention my face at the back”(Pooch)

“Stop commenting on our new caravan like that, I think it looks really good”(Shera)

“I also think it is cute”(Ciela)

Even Ciela agrees, maybe pooch doesn’t know true beauty.

“FINE, do what you want. You people lack logic”(Pooch)

“Maybe you are angry because it wasn’t a full body painting…”(Shera)

“OF COURSE NOT!”(Pooch)

What’s with pooch today? He seems to get angry at everything…maybe he is in his period…is he a female after all? I doubt that…I still didn’t experience mine since the time I got transferred to this world.

“Calm down, I don’t know what you are going through, but please don’t vent your anger on us”(Shera)

“GOD! GOD! ARE YOU THERE? PLEASE RETURN ME TO THE MIRAGE DESERT!”(Pooch)

If you hate it that much, then I’ll make you pull the wagon until you start to like it.

“By the way, you are the one pulling the caravan”(Shera)

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”(Pooch)

___

After buying food supplies, water, things needed for travel, and other things I didn’t think will be needed. We started our journey. Nero said it would take 5-6 months before we reach the nearest city, but we would be out of the desert in about 2-3 weeks. Finally, I am out of this stupid land filled with sand.

By the way, pooch is inside the wagon. He really didn’t like it, no matter how much I told him I like it…I guess we just have different taste, but I just feel a little bit sad that he thinks badly of this wagon. Anyways, Nero is the one driving, and Ciela is the one in charge of taking care of the horses. Nero would teach me how drive, and would always smile while sitting next to me. Is he that happy letting someone drive? If he didn’t want it then we could have gotten a driver at the city…money isn’t really a problem, I could kill some people or monster, and get some money out of it.

Nero & Ciela looked really happy, probably because they have a chance to live a different life. If you think about it, they are somehow similar to me. I go shunned be the people around me, go abused, but in the end I resorted to killing the humans. For Nero, he had to change so that he could give a better life for his sister.

If I had someone I wanted to protect, would I have chosen a different path? I doubt it, even if I changed, the humans will still be rotten, they are born as trash. Luckily, most of my hate towards them faded when I was killed by Kyle. I guess it’s time to forget about my past, I have a new future that awaits me, and I won’t let my past hinder me from living the way I want in this world.

Days passed as we traveled, I slowly got used to being with them, at first I didn’t care…but it really feels nice to have someone accompany you. Is this how it feels like to have friends? Do they think of me as a friend? I hope they do…

___

We are camping at the plains, yup, we are finally out of the desert. Ciela is currently feeding the horses, while Nero is cooking food. I am busy sitting while hugging pooch, I somehow feel that I am not helping. Even though I don’t need to eat nor drink, I have to show them that I am a normal Lein, so I eat and drink normally like they do.

“Dinner is almost ready.”(Nero)

“I’ll be there in a sec”(Ciela)

The other reason why I eat, is because Nero’s cooking is good. Even with limited ingredients he could still make food that tastes good, I am not kidding, If I could, I will eat all day.

I put pooch down as Nero gave me a bowl filled with soup, he also handed a spoon. As I took a spoon filled with soup into my mouth, different sensations were revived. It felt like everything disappeared and I got transferred to the world of flavors. The sour taste as the soup goes through your tongue, and the sweet flavor as it enters your throat, it just like being teased by the spirit of flavors, and makes you want more. Before I noticed it, my bowl was already empty.

“…more please”(Shera)

“Eating a lot as always…pft” Nero laughed a bit before giving me another serving.

“This is just normal, IF YOU ARE GONNA LAUGH THEN DON’T MAKE A DELICIOUS FOOD! HOW COULD I STOP MYSELF WHEN A FOOD LIKE THIS IS IN FRONT OF ME?”(Shera)

Seriously, you expect me to stop eating with this in front of me?

“Hahahahahaha”(Nero)

There he goes again…laughing like that, should I kill him now? No, I can’t eat his food anymore if I kill him. This is blackmail…blackmail I tell you.

“STOP LAUGHING”(Shera)

“Ok…you are cute as usual”(Nero)

I am getting dragged at his pace again…I can’t act like I normally do when he is around…

“I am stronger than you, you know”(Shera)
