《Blood? Suckers!》9. That's Just Nerves. Right?
Advertisement
Okay, now I’ve gotten over my initial resistance to the idea – trips outside aren’t all that bad.
For the most part.
Actually.
I lied.
I still hate these things, like, what the hell?
My brain feels as if it is running a marathon every time I am even close to another human being that isn’t Bell. I can feel their gaze pierce through me like a stake to the heart.
With every look, my brain and my heart go into overdrive, and I can’t even think about anything anymore.
This is a perfect example.
Where even am I right now? What am I doing?
I have no fucking clue.
And it goes on and on and over and over.
Do they know I used to kill people? Do they know what I am? Those stares could mean any combination of things. I don’t know how they could know all that information and what’s going on in my head, but I still feel as if they can.
I mean, I am easier to read than most people – but maybe that much information gathered from just looking at someone is unrealistic.
“They’re not looking at you, ya know?”
Bell brings me back to the moment.
That’s right, we are walking through the streets of Tokyo on one of our regular assignments.
What could that regular assignment be, I hear you ask?
Well, food of course!
We figured this would be a good way for me to get a grip on the landscape and interacting with others – with a delicious reward at the end.
It’s a win, win.
Food, oh my god! I haven’t even talked about food. How could I forget such a vital and crucial part of my existence?
I shall warn you though, this will be another time where I make comparisons between my old life and this one, saying something about my age.

Here we go.
I’ve been alive for thousands of years and only ever fed on blood. Sure, it was delicious and there was a range in flavour between different types of people and how well they looked after their bodies. But nothing could have ever prepared me for the smorgasbord of delights and treats that is now available.
Anyways, ranting about food aside – Bell was just saying…
“They only care about what is going on in their lives. Look at all the people around us, you think everyone has the time to think about every single person they see on the street? These people have lives of their own to worry about, take comfort in the fact everyone is a self-centred asshole.”
You’re coming off a little harsh there, Bell, but I get your point.
I am standing here worried about what everyone else is thinking of me, while not actually paying any attention to them. Those people are not thinking of me at all because, similarly, they are dealing with their own things.
When did Bell start spouting off such good advice? Maybe this doesn’t even count as advice. More like cynical thinking or something?
It’s probably not healthy to have such an outlook on the regular person, but it helps in this situation.
Actually, is that really the question I should be asking here? How did Bell even kno-
“You read like a book, you know that? Now let’s get going – that Takoyaki won’t eat itself!”
Well to that I shouldn’t be surprised, they say those that care about you the most can tell if you’re distressed.
After all, I did just admit that I am easy to read – why did it feel so abrupt when someone else attested to one of my flaws?

Like hey, buddy! I can say that about myself, but you can’t go around saying that.
Something like that.
Maybe it isn’t a flaw though, maybe I’m just honest now? Yeah, let’s go with that – sounds much better.
Now while I am being honest, I must say; I know that everyone is too absorbed in their own lives to be looking at me…
That doesn’t help with the strong, lingering feeling I have that I am being watched.
That’s just nerves.
Right?

Pink Mage
There are many types of Mages; The Arcane Mages stuck in their towers studiously dedicated to magic and understanding, The Elemental Mages the most powerful and versatile branch, and finally the color mages who are a potent mix of the two. Of the color Mages, there are the primary Red, Blue, Yellow the rare White, Black, Infrared, and Ultraviolet the legendary Gamma and Beta, and finally there are the secondary colors, also known as the mixs Green, Brown, Orange, Purple, and finally Pink. Updates will be sporadic based on inspiration and motivation. Warning: I am a lazy uninspired individual so ya... So the inspiration for this is how everyone online is always a carry or assassin and nobody plays support classes to help the team. Also, there have been studies that the "support" roles at work in RL never get recognition for keeping the company cogs greased and turning. It's always the "top" [employee title] and the extra stuff people do to keep the business running is never appreciated. So I decided to wright Pink Mage. He is a support, though he has spells so he isn't a [Support] and incapable of defending himself. None of the classes are completely useless in a fight or without proper application. But the [Pink Mage] class is bugged so that there is no way to gimp the system to legendary status. All the other Solo legends can... well... Solo, but a [Legendary Pink Mage] can't solo, period. Sure he could cast a mix of spells so that an army is basically chickens on the chopping block but he would still have to go out there and gut them with a knife one by one. I don't own the title image, It was grabbed from public domain. Warning: the content warnings are real, though the content warned of is sporadic. I don't try to right that content specifically but Micky's life won't shy away from it! So yeah, rating R... Note: This is neither a 'Feel Good' or a 'Tragedy' and doesn't have those tags for a reason. This is the 'Real' biography and adventurers of the MC as I see the fantasy universe. So it is neither going to have extra lucky encounters or terrible ones (Except there will be, because you know, story.)

Tree of Yggdrasil
A Land of Myths and Legends. It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery. In the center of the Human Continent, there exists a Tree, the origin of all the monsters and of humanity’s downfall. Yet, humans prevail, rising from the ashes every time. Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles. It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity. These beings, having created brand new lands of their own, are known as paragons of their own species, yet they are all cursed in one way or another. Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them. Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness. And yet, the Tree keeps its silence. Until now… *Credit for the cover goes to Darkhikarii at DeviantArt, if you want it taken down, please message me.
