《Blue Screen Blues》Chapter 12: "Three Cheers For Heartbreak!"
Advertisement
With the song still playing, Ryan is screaming into the grass. Not at all worrying about what he just agreed to. He's more worried about the pain that the mana regeneration is causing him.
He's screaming and the ground is mumbling his words. zephyr just sits back Anna enjoys the show.
“Oh, that's right you've never ran out of Mana before have you?” She said with an innocent smile.
“Hell No” he said while screaming over the current song,
“it hurts for about the first 10 times, then you never experience this ever again. A few of my friends told me about this. I'm glad I'm a Rogue, I don't have to worry about Mana, just my energy” She told him.
“What happens if you run out of energy?” he asked while his head was throbbing.
“I really can't move it's generally a death sentence. I'm just so glad half the things I fight have blood I can tap into.” She told him while leaning down and hugging him.
Ryan pulls up his Phone, he looks up his stats. He is at 15% Mana, and it is regenerating quickly. The higher it climbs the less painful it becomes.
Ryan has been just using auto attacks last night. He never had to use any Mana abilities.
He just swung his sword and attacked everything manually. It’s his first time ever casting any spells.
Mana is drawn from the soul, in mind and soul are pretty much the same thing. This is pretty much his headaches. He's never gone hollow like this before. What he is feeling right now is just his soul filling back up with energy.
Supposedly souls are elastic. First time you stretch it it's hard to do. When it returns back to normal it Hurts but is Bigger than it was before. It’s like a cheerleader doing a Split for the first time. You have to slowly work your way into it. Ryan went Empty super quick. His soul was emptied out and now its filling back up with energy. So, this Is explaining his headache. (Remember Mind and Spirit are connected.)
With that being said, Ryan needs to Exercise Using his mana Slowly until he Breaks in his Souls “Energy tank” But Will he take the time to do it or will he go Full masochist ?
Zephyr Heals him back up to health when from when he got bit by the Wolf, and He gets back up again and Sees he’s back at 100% Mana. He Charges right into the woods and Finds a bear.
He Casts [Fireball] and gets it coming to him. He then casts his instant Spell [Detonation] and takes it down. He does this Rotation again on another bear. He 2 shots the poor beasts.
Then He Runs over to another Wolf and Just casts [Detonation] And takes it out with his Axe.
He finds another Bear and casts Fireball and then Gets lightheaded and falls over in Extreme pain. (Damn it he went full Masochist)
Zephyr Shrugs her shoulders and takes out the bear by herself before it attacks him.
Ryan is on the ground screaming again and Zephyr leans down on him.
“So, I am assuming your Gonna Pop your Mana Cherry today aren’t you” She asks him with a concerned tone.
“Yes, Let’s get this pain over with! If it happens for the first 10 times so be it. What doesn’t kill me will make me stronger” He said while Screaming into the ground. Ryan lifts his hand and gets his phone out and hits the play button on his phone and Duality plays again as he Screams with it.

Amazed at him, she pats him on his back and waits for him to Regenerate.
When he gets back up to full mana, He Stands up takes a deep breath and goes charging into the woods again like an Idiot. About 5-7 Spells is all he can do depending on his rotation, before he goes down screaming like a rich kid who didn’t get his Lamborghini in the color he wanted.
From Zephyrs point of view, it was a simple Rotation she saw form him in the next hour. That rotation being: Run, Spam, Scream, Duality, Repeat.
Every time he Emptied his Mana tank It hurt less and less.
Unknowingly to him, Zephyr was getting turned on. He saw how headstrong her “Boyfriend” was. At the same time, he’s suffering, and she doesn’t have to do anything to him from when he hurt her earlier. Shes sitting back and watching the Show. She is standing by to take out a Beast in the event he Collapse before it does down. This happens a few times. But shes getting Her Battle Axe skill points trained, so shes not complaining.
About 8 times of Run, Spam, Scream, Duality, and Repeating Ryan doesn’t feel a Fire inside his head anymore.
While laying down screaming and listening to the song again he feels something approaching.
Zephyrs ears goes up and she scans the area. There is something nearby.
Ryan feels a smooth calming effect around him and doesn’t feel right.
Out of the wood line 3 Succubus Demons appear. A blonde, A brunette and a Red head.
The Burnette was the leader of the 3, and was talking about how they detected a “Snack” nearby
Zephyr knows who they were and Casts [Lurk] and runs the hell out of the area.
She runs to the City gates only to realize she forgot something.
“Oh shit! I forgot about my boyfriend!” She screamed as she ran back.
Ryan was face down and screaming to the song face down as he recovered. He feels a soothing touch on his shoulder.
“Zephyr I am almost regenerated. Don’t hug me right now please I’m focusing right now” He says to the person whoever the arm belonged to.
The 3 Succubi look at each other and are so excited. Ryan basically just told them “If your going to attack me, do it now”
“It’s my turn” The Redheaded one whispered to her friends
“No, you had 2 already this week. This one is my age. I want him” The brunette said with a smile.
“Look hate to admit it but Sadi is right. She gets this one” The blonde one with pale blue skin said to the Red head.
“Madison but I want him!” The red head said to her leader.
“Chill out Sydney. You get the next one”
The Burnett walks over to him and slaps his ass. He turns around and Gets ready to smack Zephyr, but it wasn’t her there. He turns around and sees a 5-foot 6 Succubus with pale skin, Dark green eyes, curved demon horns, demon wings, and she was wearing a Light blue dress.
He sees the other two demons leaning on a tree and holding each other. He looks at the girl and Pausing his music.
The girl takes his phone from his hands and throws it down by her friends and pushes him down. She smiles at him and Ryan feels Love struct.
She feels his skin and runs her hands up his over his shoulders and looks him in the eyes.
“May name Sadi, whats your name cutie” She said with flirtatious tone.

“My name Is Ryan, are you a Fallen angle, because you look so damn hot” Ryan said to her while he checked her out.
“In a way yes” she said while bopping his nose. She feels up his back and goes for a kiss. Ryan grabs her by the waist and pulls her in tight and kiss’s her. To him This feels so amazing. Her kiss feels amazing and he grabs her tighter and gets really aggressive with her. The two make out and Ryan’s getting even more aggressive in his kiss. He slides his hand up her shirt and stops. Kissing her.
“Whats wrong. Why did you stop?” Sadi asked him.
Ryan looks around and feels something dark around him.
“I sense a Demon is near” He said while feeling up her chest.
“You wouldn’t be wrong; I mean I am succubus after all” She said while going in to kiss him again and reach down his pants.
“I know THAT, but I’m not talking about YOU” He told her while he kisses her.
Suddenly Zephyr comes out of the shadows and Stabs the demon in the back with her dagger and swings her battle axe at the Woman’s Horn causing it to snap in half.
The woman turns around and sees Zephyr in a Pissed off rage.
“leave my Boyfriend alone! The only one that gets to suck the life out of him is going to be me!” She screamed while tackling her down to the ground. Zephyr Stabs the Woman in the heart, and she screams. She then Turns to dust and the souls she has consumed in the past fly’s out of her in the dozens.
Ryan frowns at her, but at the same time his mana Just recharged.
He casts [Detonate] On the Blonde one and Zephyr goes in to assist.
The attack brings the woman down to 90% health and Zephyr Knocks her down and Swings her Axe and chops another segment of Horn off her.
“Shes vulnerable hit her again!” She screams as she tries to attack her heart with a Dagger.
The blonde one grabs her throat, and pushes Zephyr off her. She takes control of Zephyrs arm and the hand she has her dagger in and is trying to work her way with making Zephyr stab herself in her own heart with her weapon.
Ryan Smiles at her and see’s zephyr giving him a “I don’t want to die face”. He smiles at this dark moment and turns his back and walks away.
Zephyr is broken now. He’s going to just let her die? After all she has done for him? She is crying now. How can somone be so heartless to her? She looks this succubus in the eyes and waits for her strength to give out as she brings the dagger closer and closer to her own heart. Suddenly Ryan fires a [Fireball] and then Casts [Detonation] On her. Then he comes running up behind her and slices her back open with his battle axe.
The Red head comes in to attack Ryan now, but he Turns around and grabs her and kiss’s her. This stuns her. He demonic Programing to stand and suck Ryan’s Soul out over-realms her.
This gives zephyr the ability to drive the dagger she had in her hand through the Blonde one’s heart and turn her to dust.
“I Fucking love red heads” He tells the Demon.
She stops kissing him and looks him in the eyes.
“Oh really? That’s so cute” She tells him.
“Your cute” He replies to her. This makes her smile and gives Zephyr enough time to Ambush her from behind. Ryan takes his axe on his side and raises it up and chops off one of her horns.
Ryan runs away from her and zephyr in a fit of rages Tears her up and stabs her in the heart several times. She does not go down. Ryan casts his [Fireball] and [Detonation] again and she doesn’t even flinch.
“I’m fed this week I am not gong down you fucking bitch” She tells her as she holds her down. She starts to put her arms around Zephyrs neck and starts choking her.
Scared and Staring into this demons Death stare while she crushes her neck Zephyr things really hard on how to beat this thing.
She knows Succubi feed on Emotions. She knows shes got a shit ton of Emotion to share with her. Zephyr smiles at her laughs. She leans her neck forward and kisses the Demons. Something she did made this demon scream. She lets go of her neck and Zephyr throws her arms around her and pulls her in close. She locks her in tight and kisses her again and starts making out with the Redhead bitch.
This demons Screams in pain and she holds on tight and doesn’t let her go. Zephyr is hurting this thing somehow. Zephyr then whispers “He’s mine, never ever fucking touch him again” in her ear.
She kiss’s the demon one last time and she screams in agony and bursts into flames.
Ryan is sitting back scared about what he just saw. This crazy bitch Went berserk and took out 3 level 28 Succubi at level 14. Shes definitely not one to be messed with.
When the dust settles, she grabs his arm and walks out of the woods with him silently without saying a Word. She seems calm but shes not talking to him. This is scary and a Very big warning sign.
When a woman is seemingly calm, and Silent; it means you’re about to be killed or seriously hurt.
As they walked out of the woods Ryan was starting to get scared. He’s most likely going to get killed in his sleep tonight. He needs to Repair this now.
“Look I walked away so the red head wouldn’t suspect I was going to jump in. I also had to wait for a good shot. I didn’t want to hit you again” He told her.
“I’m not pissed at that. You cheated on me. The way you looked at that Succubus made me die inside. You held her tight, ran your hand up her dress and who knows what else you did before I arrived. I’m so pissed at you Ryan!” She screamed at him.
“Look shit happens. Shes a Succubus, she seduced me” He told her in a calm tone.
“I AM THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO SUDUCE YOU, AND I CAN’T EVEN DO THAT RIGHT!” She screamed while she shoves him into a tree.
Ryan Hits the tree and falls down backwards. He can taste blood in his mouth as he looks up at the blue sky.
“Look let’s call off this whole damn Dating thing. I want to go visit home for a Few days. I have matters I need to address. I wanted to bring you with me, but if I walked in my house with you my mom can read my emotions like a book. If she knew how badly you treated me, you wouldn’t ever be allowed to have kids like ever. She told him with a depressed tone.
“Ok I really am sorry. Are you going to come back and quest with me later or is this goodbye forever?” He asked her while picking himself off the cool forest floor.
Its just temporary. I am very upset with you, but Like I said Tourterra and Staug City is my Real true home. You’re a Real fucking asshole, but I still like you and Will never let you go no matter how bad you fuck up. I know those Succubi were dangerous, but I noticed that damn song you were playing for the past damn hour gave me a Damage Multiplier” She told him.
Ryan looks at his phone and she was right.
“Duality” By Slipknot: Grants User/party members 50% damage for one hour. Reduces Intelligence at a cost of 25% and Grants the Users “Reflection”. Lasts for 2 hours.
Ryan was a little bit puzzled. “How did she kill that last demon with just a Kiss?” He wondered.
He gets up off the ground and catches her.
“How the hell did you bring down that last one with a Kiss” He asked her with a puzzling tone.
“Look, she feeds off of desires and positive emotions of men. I provided her the complete opposite. I gave her a shitload of Desperation, and Hopelessness from a Woman. I gave her something that she could not handle and something that was bad for her. Just like How I am to you. I am bad for you dude. But I can’t let go. I fucking Like you, and I wish you could feel the same for me” She told him while she walked away.
“My little monster is on the right step toward recovery! Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward fixing it.” Ryan thinks to himself.
He follows Her out of the woods and goes into the city.
They walk into the Inn, and she goes upstairs into a room. Ryan follows her into her room and closes the door.
“What do you want” She said as she was packing up her clothes.
“I just want to tell you I am Proud of you. You saved my life again. Look Yes, I was an asshole, and at the same Time I am smart. If I ran away instead of doing what I had to do and stall them they would have killed me faster. Ya, sure I always wanted to make out with a succubus, and of course it does feel fucking amazing…”
Zephyr grabs him and throws him on the bed.
“Your socially awkwardness is showing buddy” She told him as she bites down on his neck really hard.
Ryan screams and she smiles at him. She leaves a small Hickey and Ryan Bites her back.
He plays with her hair and kisses her again. Ryan is about to take off his clothes and do this with her, but he feels like he needs to wait. He doesn’t want to hurt her if things go south again.
“No. no not yet. I really want to. But since we are not together, and we still only known each other for about a day now, this still isn’t the right time.” He tells her.
“This mother fuck is mind tease! I swear next time I catch him sleeping I am going to kill him!” She said in her head, while broadcasting an understanding smile.
She hugs him and finishes packing her bags.
“Look I am upset, but at the same time I really need to go home. That bird we killed was a very important Minion to somone we don’t want to fuck with. I need to go talk to my Mom and dad and see if they can get me some new armor now that I am a higher level. When I come back, I am also going to be bringing you some Mage gear. Please honey don’t get your self in trouble or killed. I know you have the worst luck of all.” She tells him with a warm hug.
“Ok I promise I will keep my head on my shoulders. Look while you are gone, I want to learn Crafting and repair my Clothes and make a few things. I want to take a break from Combat and Relationships for just a few days. I know I can’t fuck this up” He tells her.
“Alrighty” she said while she grabs his phone. She puts on the song “Canals” from All Time Low and looks into his eyes one last time.
“My little emo boy, who’s all mine in here” She said while placing his hand over her left boob.
You always tend to always accidently aim for my heart. But I will stand by you no matter what”
She told him as she kiss’s him one more time.
She pulls out a thin rectangle stone out of her bag and breaks it and drops it down at her feet.
It starts emitting a blue light and she stands over it. She looks him in his eyes and smiles. Then the stone and herself disappear from the room.
Ryan sits down on the bed and lays down. He already misses her after just 10 seconds.
“I did the right thing by waiting” He tells himself.
“I did the right thing” He said out loud. He lays his head down on the pillow and takes a nap. He doesn’t care if it’s the afternoon, He’s tired and needs to think about what he wants to do for the next few days.
He looks over in the mirror and notices a Hickey. He’s a little mad. She left her mark on Her territory. Good luck trying to get Girlfriend now.
“That evil bitch!” He said while rubbing his neck.
“She Planned to do this before she left! Ugg shes so Cute, yet so annoying!” Ryan said as he kicks off his shoes and lays down.

8 130My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
