Chapter 9: Irregular Summoner
*ZAAAAAAAAS*
“Yare, yare… It was my fault for not remembering your condition, but, you sure love giving me trouble Lean….”
Appearing in the infirmary, Aurora carried Lean to the bed closest to her and laid him there carefully… Adjusting the firm yet soft pillow to make it more comfortable for the object to do its job better, and while doing so, she muttered
“*Sigh...* This is why Irregular Summoners are…. That Reidmo, the next time I see him… I’m gonna-”
“What are you gonna do?”
Interrupting Aurora, a mature and soothingly voice, something inside those words made one feel secure, warm even, called to her from diagonally, and standing in the doorframe, resting her back and her left leg over it and standing with her arms crossed
A long haired brunette, her skin, of a light brown colour, as if it were the result of a long sunbath, looked healthy and added the person an exotic touch, at least, the little that could be seen, as she wore a skin-tight kind of like suit, more tight than skin, highlighting her BIG womanly attributes
“Oh… Eve, just in time… Come here please, I got a patient that needs your skills...”
“Not just in time, you know that this place is my territory, when someone enters, the mana flow here gets interrupted, and I use that interruption as a signal… But nevermind that… A patient you say? Not even a hour has passed since the beginning of classes, *sigh*, did this guy got on your nerves or something? Oh my! Isn’t this one a handsome youth?”
“If it were only that, then, he wouldn’t be here looking this healthy…”
“ You call your physical punishment, only that uh, scary, scary...Mm? He is having a severe case of fever, did he attend class like this? And how did he end up like this in the first place?”
“Of course not! And hell if I know why he is like this!”
“Oh? Something our researcher girl doesn’t know? Mm, his heart rate is at normal levels and so his respiratory rhythm, so only high temperature and lots of sweating… This is gonna be an easy job… So? I assume he is like this because?”
“He made contact with a Spirit...”
“What! Already! That’s gotta to be a record!”
Eve, ignoring for a second her patient, turned to Aurora and said so cheerfully, but, Aurora with a conflicted looking face responded
“If it was that, then sure, but… Sadly, this is not the case...”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you give the students the booster? How com- wait a minute, don’t tell me… Is he…. Already in a contract?”
“Yes...”

“And you making that kind face… No margin of error?”
“It seems it happened the 13th, he had a [Mana overflow] because of the [Warp], it looks like that acted as the trigger...”
“And you didn’t notice that? Hey! What’s with that embarrassed look!?”
“The truth is that, it happened after I left...”
“And why was the son of our benefactor abandoned the 13th I wonder?”
“But, know what! Reidmo caged the boy for 18 years! And-”
“And?”
“I wanted to let him experience a little of -”
“A-N-D?”
“...”
“I’m sorry, it was my mistake… I was childish, vent a little of my anger on him instead of this guy’s father….”
“*Facepalm* (I knew we 6, or at least Tita and me should have gone to pick him up… That Dante, because of his “Let Aurora pick the guy, she will do the job faster than anyone...” shit sweet suggestion, everyone agreed to it… Now look at this mess!)”
“Eve, that furrow will leave marks on your forehead, you don’t want that right?”
“ *Sigh…...* Well… There isn’t any reason to cry over spilled milk, but you, I’m going to give you a thoroughly health check, you better be ready for that *wink*”
“Gu! Whatever but that!”
“No, you deserve some punishment, and, don’t worry, I will be sure to search every nook and cranny of that tasty body of yours… But first, I will take this meal!”
Ignoring the absentminded Aurora, which looked to be in her own nightmarish little world, Eve removed with care the shirt Lean wore, revealing a slender but trained upper body. Slowly tracing her right index finger over the boy’s muscles
From the left Pectoralis major, describing small circles as trajectories, to its nipple and finally tracing the very end line of the muscle…
Going down, from the Latissimus dorsi to the Serratus anterior and finally his External oblique… Softly but with enough pressure to leave a small trail line on the skin that faded the next second
Leaving the side and going to the center, figurin out his Rectus abdominis and going up again… And repeating the motion with her other hand…
Greedily using both hands to feel both Deltoids and, from there, searching and inspecting the Biceps brachii and Triceps brachii, down to the Brachioradialis…
“Hah...Hah...Hah...”
“(Ge, again with her excitement going overboard...) Oi, get a grip on yourself...”
“Hah… Mm? You jealous? Gotta admit, this Lean got a fine body… Ah! Why don’t you join here? I bet-”
“Just get on with it, I’m going back to the class, the students will think I forgot about them or something... Ah, after you're done here, come to my study I need to give to the [6 Titans] a job”
With that announcement, Aurora started trailing with firm steps, Svetlina following after, and soon, left the room, seconds later, a flash illuminated the hallway and the sounds of her footsteps disappeared with it, leaving the infirmary with its mitigated daylight and the two currently inhabitants

“*Giggle* She is so frigid… Well, let’s stop playing and more getting to work...(A job for the party uh...)”
Finishing that sentence, Eve proceed to climb over the bed, and positioning herself like a horsewoman facing Lean. Then, slowly, she grabbed his head with both hands and carefully rested her forehead on Lean’s, and said
“[Heal, Vanje]”
As soon as she finished chanting, Eve buried her lips with Lean’s and remained like that… 10 seconds… 30 seconds… 1 minute…. 2 minutes…. Until
“Puaa… That should do it, but how strange… Being emptied (mana drained) by your own Spirit? That’s a first...”
Breaking contact she returned to the rider position, and, with her left index finger reminiscing the sensation of her still warm lips on his, even savoring a little of his sweat in the process...
“Ah..Ah.. That was good… But now that the anomaly is gone... Time for the main cour- WHO IS THERE?!?!?!”
*...*
Only a silent and quiet room greeted her outburst
Looking left and right
And behind too
Nothing out of the ordinary, just the infirmary she was so used to
“(What the hell… For a moment, something really nasty was watching me… I felt it, I’m sure…)”
Out of her entranced state, Eve still continued to get a grasp on the surroundings
“Was it...just my imag--”
*Hihihihi……*
“Ah……...”
Shivering uncontrollably, her trembling body became an entity of its own
Her thought process froze
Her instincts running amok crying desperately to take any action at all...
...And the pair of eyes letting tears fall down endlessly in her static vibrating cage
A monstrous aura
A hateful aura
A maddening aura
A bloodlusting aura
A jealous aura
As if thousands and thousands of demons, voicing a chorus of Hell incarnated directing all of their devilish intents to one point
DeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeEthDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathAeEhDeaEDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeTtheAeathAeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathHeTthDeThDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeDtHDeathHeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeathDeath
“Ahh…."
"Ah…."
"Ahhh.."
From Lean
Black miasma started to surge from his chest
Without any apparent cut, the black and dense substance, resembling mercury that is boiled, with a slow pace trailed over Lean’s body, and before reaching Eve, it started to float in the space around her
Eve could only watch in horror how the disturbingly frightening fog came closer and closer
Eating all the light, ever so slowly….
And coming closer…
Closer…
Imprisoning her in a cage of dark emotions
Shutting off any source of light… Or hope...
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
“Shhhhhh, you cry so much… My attraction be disturbed from sleep….”
A childish voice
A childish voice, sounding worse than the chorus sung by thousands of lunatic demons
Creating ripples that made the air tremble around the room…
...And pressuring even more the human, like a small rodent entangled in vines… Which ever so slowly, start compressing the animal with a definite purpose
Crushing the life of it
*STAB*
A solid black line detached rapidly from the main dense watery body and penetrated Eve in her left eye, just under the iris, going all the way through her head…
Twitching and trembling, her body started to lose all her strength, yet
*STAB* *STAB* *STAB* *STAB*
No letting it fall, four more spear like lines held her in place, two pierced the elbow joint section and the others pierced from her armpits, but like a marionette with its strings cut, the body laid limply now…
...And again
*STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB**STAB*
Without any shred of mercy, thousands of spikes skewered the body, engulfing it and devouring it with a sea made of stakes
“Hihihihi….Hihihihihi...
...HihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihIhiHiihIHIIHhIHihi…
...Taint not... My attraction….”
Leaving those words behind, the black miasma dissolved midair, returning to the mercury-like state and flowing back to Lean’s chest
Vanishing like a dream and leaving a horrid corpse behind…
“Oh my, how scary….”
… Or not
The messed corpse started radiating a yellowish light and soon after, it became a ball of energy that directed itself to the new Eve that was not that far away, sitting with legs crossed and resting her chin on her left hand, and wearing a playfully expression
With her right hand extended, the ball rested on it and disappeared into her… At the end of the act, Eve closed her eyes as if remembering something
“Using [Vanje’s coat]” was the right call… But to think that such a possessive and violent Spirit would be lurking inside him… I didn’t want to believe Aurora, but, seeing the facts on the table… *Sigh...* an Irregular Summoner uh?”
Irregular Summoner
Since old times, Summoners came to the realization that, the timeframe where new Summoners came to be, followed cyclicals periods… Which the reason, behind the name Creation for those days, however, some beings did not follow that explicit timeframe...
For a Summoner, a Spirit is the proxy of their might, the core of one’s potential that permits them manifestate said power into reality, BUT, before any of that can happen, a Summoner must first perform a ritual, a [Contract]
Contracts are needed to bound Spirit and Summoner alike, proof of the acknowledgement of each party, a one-sided relationship between two beings of different realms won’t bear any fruits
When such a ritual is avoided, recognition of one subject is denied, creating an imbalanced bound… Leaving unknown consequences...
...What happens to a dike when it exceeds its water capacity?
Does it break? Does it let the exceeded water pass while holding the rest? Or… Something, completely different?
...Irregular Summoners are existences like that
Raising from her spot, Eve now closed the distance and softly caressed Lean’s head
“So, your attraction uh? Sadly for you, that’s not your choice”

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)
