《Reaper of the Shadows》Chapter 6: Kiss of Eternity

With that said, we began moving. Tear was avoiding the crowds since i don’t know the place or, other reasons. But Men, this place is so retro and fucking polluted. Tall buildings, narrow alley ways, pipes that spew green smoke, people wearing gas mask, and a gross green liquid that’s spilled everywhere. Maybe they should call it a Fallout 5, not black market.
As Tear continued to move ahead of me, i noticed something stange. The people around us are all looking at me. I can hear them whispering, 'Why’s a Reaper doing here?' And other insults. People here don’t see a repear often huh.
Tear stopped moving and looked at me, "This is the place."
I looked around me, "Where?"
Tear pointed upwards, "There."
I looked above me and saw a Male Forsaken.
LvL 102 Berny Weaponcrest
Class: Warrior, Sub-class: None
Profession: Expert Weapon Dealer
Age: 100
Race: Male Forsaken
Time till death: Cursed
The forsaken looked below us, "Who goes there!"
I smiled and said in a loud voice, "Good day to you Sir Berny. We’re here to deliver the goods that you wanted. If you would be so kind and drop a ladder in order for us to climb, we would greatly appreciate it."
The forsaken laughed, "I like you reaper. Come, before i open shop."
With that, he dropped a ladder in order for us to climb up.
I looked back at Tear, "Lady’s first."
Tear nodded and climbed up and i followed her. As we arrived at the top, Sir Berny greeted us. He kindly showed us to his shop and told us to sit down at the lobby (which surprised me). After a few minutes, he arrived with two orcs by his side.
LvL 160 Urthraok Skullcrusher
Advanced Class: Destroyer (Beserker), Sub-class: Sentinel
Profession: Chieftain
Age: 140
Race: Male Demon Orc
Time till death: 500 years
LvL 89 Dorfur Dreadmaul

Race: Male Demon Orc
Time till death: 30 years
Woah, they looked like Red Hulk, but orcs, demon orcs. They both carried a greataxe that looked to be very heavy and rusty. The two of them sat next to the Forsaken as he sat down in front of us.
Berny started the conversation, "So, which one of you has the goods?"
Tear raised her hand, "I do."
"Then show us what this goods really is."
Tear nodded and stood up and began to transform. Black smoke engulfed her with screams of agony from where Tear stood. As moments of screams passed, we saw a floating Scythe. The four of us looked at Tear as she reverted her transformation.
"Holy shit... Thats... amazing. Amazingly cliche!" That’s just funny as hell! I knew from the beginning that if Tear and Izora is delivering special goods from the black market. Either Muures is carrying it, Izora is using magic in order to hide it, or They are the goods themselves. Man, i love my intuition so fucking much!
Berny glared at me, "This is not something funny reaper. This blood elf has the ability to change into a weapon!" Yeah so? I’ve seen animes that give people powers to transform into a weapon. I think? I forgot what it’s called but i know that the protagonist is a girl. I think?
Urthraok grunted as he went towards Tear, "This girl will be my weapon? I asked for an axe, not a scythe Forsaken."
Berny glared at me, "So, where are the other goods?"

"Don’t ask me! Ask Tear."
They then looked at Tear. Urthraok doesn’t looked pleased that he’ll have a Scythe rather than an Axe. I mean, sure an axe is great for killing but so is a scythe. The only difference is for labor purposes. Axe is for wood cutting and a Scythe is for farming.
Berny said to the orc, "The weapon is a tool for the wielder, and the wielder is the weapon."
Urthraok responded with wise words of his own, "A weapon is a weapon, a tool is a tool, and a killer is a killer. Remember that well Forsaken."
First of all, that’s dumb. Second, that’s stupid. And third, that doesn’t even make sense.
The tension between the Forsaken and the Orc got intense. Looks like the they both expected this to be a one time thing. As the atmosphere got thicker, heavier, and more swearing than your typical family, Dorfur decided to stop both of them before they start grabbing each other by the throat. Literally.
"Stop it my liege. We do not want to cause a ruckus, especially in front of a reaper."
Ohhhh, looks like someone respects reapers. As the Dorfur pacifed them both, a powerful and loud blast shifted our directions to where it came from. Tear went over there instead, where Muures who is holding a head of a what looks like a human. Looks like they were the first to finish.Tear kneeled as Izora and Angelica appears from the shadows. Berny looked surprised and enraged of what had happened and went directly towards Izora.
"What the hell are you doing bringing a head to my shop! You know i like my shop clean and blood free Izora." Does blood elves count?
"Forgive me Sir Berny. I didn’t expect Tear to arrive this early."
I caught Izora’s attention with a cough "Ehem?"
Izora glared at me, "And so is the Reaper."
I made a wide smile and said, "Thank you." Tear stood up as Izora went towards Berny. As Muures kindly left the room and disposed (ate) the head outside as Izora commanded.
Izora looked at the two orcs, "So, they are the one who wanted the axe right?
Berny nodded, "Yes they are the one who wanted the axe."
"I see. Sir Berny, i would like to discuss matters in a more private room."
"You always think everyone here is a bad guy."
"It never hurts to remain vigilant especially when visiting hell."
Berny signed, "Alright, Alright. Come, follow me."
Berny, Izora and the two Orcs went towards a room where they could things in a more secure manner. I don’t know what there business is and i really wanna know! But that might end up making an enemy out of them so i’ll just wait with the rest. Oh and looks like Muures finished 'disposing' the head. Good for him.
Muures sat next to me as Tear and Angelica sat in front of us. The atmosphere was... awkward. No idea what had happened to the two but i can tell it’s something they don’t wanna talk about.
First, lemme break the ice so they can at least talk with the two us.
I started the conversation with a few nudge at Muures, "So Muures-san. How was your trip with Izora?"
Muures looked at me and smiled, "Ahhh, the story of me and mistress Izora goes way back when i was only a child. Let me tell you the story if how Izora and i met."
I asked for how was there traveling time not a fuckig story! Ah shit muures started talking, SKIP IT AND SPARE ME THE FUCKING DETAILS!!!

Inside a dark room
As the four sat down, facing each other in a circular table, the Forsaken and the orcs didn’t trust the blood elfs words. "This has to be fake. No one has the potential to even wield this power!" The Forsaken said as the blood elf rose from her sit, slamming her hands on the table with a cold glare coming from her eyes.
"I do not bluff Berny, you know that when i come to your place, i expect you to be prepared mentally for what i am about to bring." The Forsaken gulped as he looked at the gauntlet. He felt a chill down his spine as he looked away and back to Izora. "Just where did you get this?" The blood elf sat down as she calmed her self. She looked calm but afraid of what the others may think. "The gauntlet. We didn’t found it, it found us."
Urthraok rose up angered, grabbing his axe and pointed it to Izora, "This is blasphemy blood elf! This gauntlet is cursed since ancient times. All the demons know this, Whether they like it or not, the gauntlet will appear in there dreams." The other orc tried calming him, only to get ignored as the gauntlet shined and shaked. Everyone knew what was gonna happen. The four of them seeked cover as the gauntlet exploded in a bright light.
As the light died down, everyone got up from where they are hiding are resumed talking. The forsaken was afraid of coming near the gauntlet and stayed far from it. The blood elf on the other hand didn’t hesitate and took her change to seal it with magic. The forsaken growled saying to dispose of the gauntlet? The orcs shared the same idea. But the blood elf had other plans for the gauntlet which involves the reaper. Everyone felt chills down there spine as a knock on the door, interrupted them. It was the vampire who knocked on the door saying we are under attack.
"Yeah, i expected an attack but i never expected it to be this early!" I said,
Muures who is busy fighting with his bare hands, Tear who is injured from a sneak attack, Angelica who went to where the others are having a private conversation, And me trying to figure out HOW THE FUCK DO YOU USE YOUR FUCKING SKILLS!!!
Mother fucker, i knew i should’ve got my self a weapon before they went to have there secret conversation. There’s three of them and looks like they’re trouble!

This is a nice position where in. Muures is tanking and is holding, which is good. Tear injured in the kidney and is bleeding heavily, which is bad. And Angelica taking fucking eternity to get help, which is bad. What a great way to start my second day as a reaper. At least the event Shut Muures up with his stories so that’s good.
Angelica came back with the others, only to get greeted by a Knife heading towards Izora. Angelica caught it just in time. Izora glared at the blood elf. They looked at each other for a while. If only i know how to use my skills, then this fight would be over... i think?
Izora snapped her finger and Angelica attacked the forsaken, only to get interrupted by a Shadow of the beast kin. Oh shit! I can create clones of my self with shadow mancer?! I really need to know how to use my skills.
Angelica and Rose fought as the Forsaken healed her ally, but stopping when Muures charged at him knocking him of the sides. The orc joined the fray by attacking Leatrine which the blood elf managed as she swipe them of there feet and striking down. Urthraok dodge the strike by rolling to left, then kicking the blood elf to the stomach which made her stumble backwards. Both the orcs stood up an continued holding the blood elf.
Izora went towards us and looked at Tear. She’s bleeding heavily and is dying. Well she does have 7000 years before her death, so it’s fine.
Izora looked at me, "Reaper, please help me save Tear."
"Sure! I mean, i got nothing better to do anyway so i might as well help Tear."
Izora signed in relief, "Thank you Reaper. Now Kiss her."
"Sure i can ki- WAIT WHAT?!" THE FUCK YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!
"As you know Tear is cursed. She can transform into a Scythe."
I growled at Izora, "I know that, but how does kissing help her?!"
"Let me finish Reaper. The person who placed the curse on Tear was a Reaper. He had his eyes for Tear for quite sometime so he put a curse on her, but was soon condemned for doing something like that without permission from the guild master. The curse that was casted on her was a way to let her live beside the Reaper for as long as he lived. But there’s a catch." Of course there is. "Any Reaper who made physical contact with Tear, will force Tear to be beside them until the Reaper dies or until Tear dies.Of course there can only be one Contract, so the guild master killed the Reaper who had cursed Tear." Wait, A Reaper can die?! I didn’t know that?! Well shit, i might be in trouble.
I looked at Izora, "Fine, i did say i’ll help you."
"My gratitude Reaper."
I looked at Tear who is gasping from losing to much blood. Well, i did die a virgin and i almost raped someone when i was still alive, so what could go wrong? I went towards Tear and kissed her. Then, black smoke started to engulf both of us. In the smoke i can see Tear naked and me as well. Tear moved (floated) towards me. Her hands up againts my chest, she was saying something i can’t hear then we kissed again.
After that i woke up wtih Tear in my hand. Scythe form of course, A window popped up as well.
Kiss of Eternity
For making a contract with Tear, who has been cursed by a Reaper, you are know her Wielder and she is know a Weapon. The soul of Tear is know infused with your soul as well, making her soulbound to the you.
Wielder: David Maxwell
Weapon: Tear Bloodwell
Eternal Bloodwell
Tear Bloodwell has turned into a Scythe and can freely change back to her original form if the wielder wishes. In her scythe form, she takes the form of what is suitable for the wielder.
The Scythe has three spikes from the heel that extends from the chine making it to reach a few inches. The chine is covered of what looks like a rough hide and has a very long reach from the toe. Then a long blade down the end of the snatch to insure that the wielder can attack with both ends of the Scythe.
Soulbound to David Maxwell
Soulbound: Merges the level and passive of the wielder to the weapon and vice versa.
Bloodswell: Whenever Tear tastes blood, she will glow red which indicates she is know infused with blood increasing the damage she deals. +300 ATK
Blood Reaper: All the blood you have reaped will be stored. You gain one blood shard each time you kill an enemy. Blood shard increases your damage done by +10%. Maximum of 100. Blood shard will be consumed if an ability is used. Statcks with other shard bonuses.
Blood Infusion: You consume a blood shard and heals your target. Heal depends on your WIS and amount of blood shard consumed.
Blood Lord: The Reaper who wields this gains increase damage if using Blood related skills. +10% increased damage
Ok. This Scythe is actually worthless to me. First, i use the shadows, not blood. Second, i don’t even fucking know how to use a single skill. And third, This aint a gun scythe. I mean, if i learn how to use my skills then everything is fine, but i still haven’t learn a damn thing! And aslo i would really love to own a gun sycthe.
Izora looked shocked of what had happened and the others are pretty much busy fighting and it doesn’t look like much time had passed. Wow, i really expect somekind of 'boom!' that caughts everyone’s attention as they witness me. But i would lose the elemesnt of surprise.
I looked at Izora, "So um, Izora-san. Is it ok for me to kill everyone that attacked us?"
Izora nodded, "Sweet, Thanks!" With that said, Two heads rolled down the floor. I stood in the middle of the room, Tear in hand and a head on the other. There attention all focused on me as i tossed the head behind me.
I made a devilish smile as i grabbed and ate all three souls.
Passive: Combo
For Surpassing +500 AGI and DEX
For eating the soul of Rose, you gained +500 AGI and DEX. Attacking grants you one combo point. Combo point increases your AGI and DEX by +10% per combo point. Getting hit resets the combo. Maximum of 50 combo points.
Passive: Shadow Reaper
This enables you to reap the shadow. Reaping the shadows grants you Shadow shards. Shadow shards increase your damage done by +10%. Maximum of 10. Shadow shard will never be consumed. Instead, it grants a random buff for five minutes each time you reach ten shadow shard and will immediately reset the stacks. Stacts with other shard bonuses. Buffs stacks.
Passive: Fleeting Knowledge
For Surpassing +500 INT and WIS
For eating the soul of Whit, you gained +500 INT and WIS. AGI and DEX increases for each time you cast a spell. Cannot exeed your true AGI and DEX.
Hallelujah! Im fucking OP! I mean, i already know im OP, but im even more OP. Combo and Fleeting Knowledge gives me an increase in AGI and DEX each time i attack an enemy or use a spell. Shadow reaper is basically what im interested in. Blood and Shadow Reaper grants me an ability to store shards. And they fucking stack! So if get 9 of each, i get 180% increased in damage. Combine that with Reapers Vigor, i get +10% CON whenever i am fighting someone stronger than me. Sorry for doubting you Tear, you’re the best!
In short, Combo, Fleeting Knowledge grants me bonus AGI and DEX. Blood and Shadow Reaper grants me increase damage. And Reaper’s Vigor gives me +10% in CON when fighting stronger foes.
As i was standing idle, Izora called my name, "Reaper. Are you feeling alright?"
I looked at Tear and made a smirk, "Im not alright, Im amazing!"
Izora signed with relief. Then from the corner Berny and the two orcs went forward. Although Benry is looking very, very angry (red) from all the blood the got splashed on the floor, walls, and even on himself.
As they went towards me Berny was the first to speak, "Can’t you handle that Scythe of yours Reaper? You got blood all over me and my shop!"
I simply laughed and said, "Thank you." Which made him stomp angrily to Izora.
Urthraok nodded to me with a smile, and me replying with a wide smile. They then joined Berny. I said to Tear to revert back to her original form. And she did. She just hopped out of my hand and reverted back to her blood elf form and damn. I can totally see her stats.

-Code08 you were frozen in critical condition in 2016year. As of now its 4078, the world you know no longer exist. The fact that we were able to find you was a miracle, old systems like earth are impossible to reach. The reason for our contact is simple, all planets in Milky Way numbered over 450miliards stars, are cut off from all other Galactic’s surrendering it, reason is unknown.-And you want us to solve this problem?-Hmm it would be good to do so but it’s not really necessary to humanity existences. After 3000y a.d. nearly 99,99%of humanity forsaken Milk Way completely mowing to galaxies filled with reaches many times exceeding these off “Old World”.-So what is a reason?!-For entertainment of course! In every survivor of old world we planted implants inside your skull that will allow us to see using your eyes, and scans of implant will allow us to recreate your surroundings. -And what is so entertaining in observing someone so boring like me? And when did humanity became so cruel as to use each other for entertainment?-I’m sorry you mistaken our intentions. To be more clear, the price of saving you make it impossible for us to help you. The implants that are inside every single Code Barrier are advanced even in our New World, each of them is equal to low class space ship. Normally nobody would help any of you and you would die one day because of life sustaining gears error caused by time corroding capsule you were sleeping in. You should be thankful for luck that make you our test subject.-I see, so what should I do?

Come, watch as our beloved character grows, makes friends, and paves a road into the firmaments as he establish his name in the new historical categories.Author's note*:This is an idea I'm roughing out. I'll be writing randomly, attenmpting to forge a storyline from my own sweat, determination, and creativity. It's loosely based on some Wuxia/Xuanhuan fictions I've read. It will have elements of human physiology, psychology, environmental science, nature vs man, man vs nature, human nature vs humanity, etc. This story is mean to be a work of fiction. It encompasses some of my views on morality. It will have corruption, foul-language, ignorance, racism. It will glean a bright world with imagination fused with the dark shadows for some to seek refuge. Though, in the world I will be creating... Refuge comes at a cost. A steep one.That is the Way of the World. The way of my world.Need cover art plz
