《Vienna's Game》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Where am I? What happened? Where are my students? What was that just now? I felt like I was about to burst into tears out of confusion. I felt like my brain was being overwhelmed. I placed my hands on my head.
My hands felt cold… I moved my hands in front of me. They were pale white and seemed to have belonged to a young girl, around the age of 13 to 15. I then felt my face, it was smooth and did not feel human. I looked at my legs, pale white as well.
What happened to me?
I glanced up and notice that they were several men staring at me with terrifying gazes. I managed to force myself to speak.
“Umm, where am I?”
My voice sounded different, I sounded younger than usual, it was also monotone, and did not have any signs of any emotions. A-am I in a new body, if so, what happened to my old body?
One of the men, who looked like he was the head of a church took a step towards me and kneeled. He looked old, but his blue eyes were still bright, although the smile he gave me was quite creepy.
“You were summoned into this world young one.”
Well, no shit sherlock I can see that I mean where I am literal- you know what I should just give up on that aspect. Let’s just move on to another question.
“W-who are you?”
“I am Cardinal Redwood, head of the Church of Axon.”
“Who am I?”
“You are a high spirit possessing a flesh golem, summoned from the blood of our great lord, High King Ragna along with the sacrifices of 10,000 souls. Your duty is to serve in the name of our great lord.”

“Duty?”
“It’s a simple task, become his servant and do his bidding.”
“I-I see.”
I glanced around looking at the men's faces. Although my body felt cold, I felt an even colder gaze coming from one of the men. I pointed at the man who seemed to be wearing a black robe with a golden necklace not so well hidden under it.
“Is that High King Ragna?”
Cardinal Redwood, expression from a look of a fake joy to a look of shock.
“W-why yes, it is.”
“Can he take off his hood?”
“That would not be necessary-”
“It’s alright Redwood, if she requests it, I must do it, this is how we start building trust in a master-servant relationship after all.”
“I-I understand sire.”
The High King took off his hood. His face seemed old, but not too old. He looked like he was in his mid-40s. From the bags from under his eyes, it seemed like he has been through hell. I stared at his eyes. His eyes seemed soulless; it seems like he has no remorse for sacrificing 10,000 souls to summon me.
“The souls that you used to summon me, were they real humans?”
“What?”
“The souls, did you sacrifice your subjects just to bring me to this world?”
“I would not say they were sac-”
“Tell me the truth or I will not serve you.”
“Yes, they were my subjects, and they did not volunteer themselves. I killed them out of cold blood because I wanted a powerful servant like you.”
What? Am I that worth it? Well, he might not know this but his spell failed because it summoned an otaku like me. I guess I will have to play along, for now, it’s not like I have any choice anyway, I would rather not die so soon for defying him.

“I see, well in that case then,” I stood up and stared directly into the eyes of King Ragna. “You are a tainted person; I can see it without a shadow of a doubt. But I am obligated to serve you since you summoned me to your world. But I will do it with several conditions, and they must be fulfilled or I will return to my world.”
I really hope that he does not see through my bluff.
“I see… alright tell me your conditions then.”
“First, I will choose a name for myself, your blood may be run in my veins, but I will not allow myself to be tainted any further by you.”
“I understand.”
“Second, you will help me learn as much about this world as possible. This benefits you as well since it will allow me to further pursue your goals without doing more damage than necessary.”
“I will make arrangements as soon I can.”
“Third, I will be granted autonomy and immunity to the law in the borders of your kingdom, however, I am limited on you specifically tell me to not be able to do, as long as my life is not in danger.”
“I-I will see what I can do.”
“Fourth, you will adopt me as a daughter, and you will treat me as such. You are, however, allowed to keep me as a secret.”
The King’s expression changed to a sour expression.
“How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to?”
“Do you know who you are talking to? I am essentially a familiar that you have summoned to this world… and as I said if you do not accept all of my conditions then I will return to my world.”
“F-fine I will accept you as one of my own, but I will not publicly announce it.”
“Then it’s a deal.”
I extended my arm out.
“In my world, it is a custom to shake hands when an agreement is made, is it in your world as well.”
The High King approached me and put his hands around mine to shake it.
“It is in this world as well, now flesh golem, what shall we call you?”
“Vienna.”
“Well then Vienna, or should I say Princess Vienna von Ainzberg. I agree to all your terms and will make arrangements as soon as we return home.”
“And I will graciously accept to serving you, Father.”

Real science is done on the edge of knowledge. If done correctly, you really are not certain of the outcomes. If done incorrectly, people can get hurt. This is the story of a researcher tossed across reality. Current update schedule is entirely sporadic, but I do commit to not dropping the story. I'm aiming for 1 small chapter a month at the moment.
