《Scarlet Moonlight Princess Doki Doki ~ Love Story in Another Life》Chapter 4: My World
Advertisement
I was hungry, so very hungry. I could probably eat some plebian food like disgusting McDonalds right now. Even though that would ruin my perfect supple yet skinny body.
Sighing, I looked up at the cloudless sky illuminated by the yellow star, as I rocked back and forth from the back of a supply cart full of patatoes. I can't believe I was using such a poverty-striken way to travel. I was used to stylish sleek cool limousines - my butler drove me to and from school in one everyday.
I mean beggars can't be choosers but I wasn't a beggar. I was actually filthy rich! I had six silver pieces and seventy eight copper pieces. Probably atleast middle class. I wouldn't stoop down to peasant class!
"Miss Scarlet-chan! Are you alright back there?" An elderly man asked from the front of the cart.
"Yes!" I lied. My body was aching all over from sleeping at the town's gate yesterday. Yes, I slept outside, just like a homeless person! But so what? It's not like I could've just went to an inn after taking so much money from the town. My rich upbringing disallows me to be so shameless.
My tummy grumbled. Ah, I couldn't just ask the old man for food after asking if I could hitch-hike. That would be asking for too much.
"Just a while longer, we are half a days way from the capital."
Still a whole half a day?! I don't think I can hold it until then, my stomach is practically eating itself!
Oh well, I guess I'll just think of it as a fasting beauty regimine. I learned that if you fasted regularly, the fat that you gain afterwards could be easily shed. I could bear this hunger with these thoughts.
"Say, what would such a young pretty miss want to do at the capital?"
"Well, I want to attend the Magic Academy!" The old man seemed lonely so I decided to converse with him. Besides, he seemed pretty harmless, which was one of the reasons why I decided to hitchhike on his wagon. If he wanted to do something bad to me, I could probably overpower him and beat him up.
"My, such a young girl, and you already have talent for magic?"
"No, but I can learn!" I decided that in order to protect myself and make a living I had to pull myself up from my boostraps and take the intiative. I didn't have daddy's wealth or protection anymore.
Magic is also so much safer than being a petty thief or wierd sword girl. For someone as elegant and highclass and sexy and cute as myself, I can't be harmed in the frontlines. What if my amazing gorgeous face got scarred?! I can only support with magic and give beautiful moral support from the backlines.

"Scarlet-chan seems like a very smart young lady, I'm sure you are a fast learner!"
"I sure am!" Little did the old man know, I have 100 IQ and scored 100 on the American SATS. I was basically a genius!
SIgh, brain, beauty, and class, what didn't I have? Hmm, I guess class and wealth right now, but that can be easily fixed.
The old man slapped the two mules on the butt and they moved slighty faster. The rhythmic chopping of their hooves and the swaying of the carriage and my aching hunger eventually lulled me to a deep sleep...
"NEIGH!!!"
"What?!" I jerked awake. I never drooled in my sleep and I never have eye boogers so I was basically ready to go.
"Bandits!" The old man screamed. The mules were in a panic, pawing the ground and looking wildly around. "The roads near the capital should be more heavily patrolled! What is happening?!"
A dark mist weaved through the road to surround us and shadowy figures apparated in the distance to only disappear. "Don't worry old man. It is the duty of the noblesse to protect the dirty plebians. I will protect you with my life!" I declared. "I know the skill Charm. How can I use it?"
"Scarlet-chan, everyone knows how to use skills. We were taught in the Dream of Birth when we were born!"
"Yeah, but I hit my head and have amnesia!" I complained. "Hurry up and tell me, or we will get ambushed!"
"Just think "S" in your head."
"What? That doesn't make sense!"
"No, trust me. It's the rule of this land. If you want to see your skill list, you have to think S!"
I gave it a try, and to my surprise, a skill list really did appear! Well, it wasn't that impressive because there was only one skill on the list.
Charm (5 Mana)
Passive: +5% success rate (Bewitching Magics)
Active: Charm a subject, seducing them and causing them to walk slowly and harmlessly towards you.
Instructions: Make yourself believe that you are the most attractive existance to ever exist. Saying "Charm," draw a heart with your hands and then push it at the subject.
What?! I was offended! What is with this passive. +5% to 100% wouldn't even make a difference, since 100% is already maxed! I don't need it because I always hit my charm all the time. And also I don't have to believe I am the most attractive existance to ever exist, because I technically am. I guess this skill was made for ugly losers, because I am the real deal!

"Charm!" I shouted. I raised my hand and began outlining a heart. To my surprise pink glitterly aura followed my hand and when I was done, I had a perfectly-shaped heart. I guess it couldn't be helped since I'm such a good artist.
"Yah!" I screamed, pushing the heart right at the shadowy figures.
"Plus one hundred fifty percent bonus duration due to execellent spellcrafting."
"Plus twenty percent bonus effect due to excellent aim."
The robotic voice notified me of my excellence and I wasn't that surprised. I think I was getting used to it. Humph, of course I would be excellent at whatever I do. It's just the way it is!
I drew two more hearts and sent two Charms at the approching figures. This should be enough.
Grabbing the old man, I yelled at him to run.
"Wait! My patatoes and mules are still here. I can't leave them!"
"What is more important?! Your life, or your peasant food and lame animals that can barely walk!"
"But.. I spent all summer growing those patatoes!"
"Do you want to get raped?"
"Raped?" He asked, confused.
"Yeah, I heard lots of bandits these days have old men fetish. They love wrinkly bums."
"Iyah!!!!!" He screamed. Hand in hand we began running off the main road and into shrubbery.
However, the old man took too long dilllydallying and the clopping of the horses grew nearer and nearer. I turned around, and they were right at our heels.
"Charm! Charm!" Two pink hearts shot forward but a dark metallic horseman absorbed it as it entered him.
"Is he gay?!"
Our running speed was no match for horses, and soon we were encircled, trapped.
The old man and I clutched hands and sunk to our knees as the dark horseman, clearly the leader of the bandit group, got off of his horse.
"Y-you bad bandit! D-don't come closer!" The old man begged, but the dark horseman did not listen.
The old man reached up to his shoulders and revealed a bare shoulder.
"Do what you want to me... and my body!" He said tearfully. "But, please spare my granddaughter!"
What! I am not your granddaughter! I would be ugly if I were. My genetics are top class! But I guess it was nice that he was willing to sacrifice himself for me. That's what peasants should do, after all.
The dark horseman began to crackle evilly while removing his helmet.
Dark, shoulder length hair whipped backwards as he did a hairflip. Strong, somber eyes glazed into mine and he smiled with perfectly white teeth.
OH EM GEE! What a hottie!
"I'm not a bandit," the hottie said.
"Yeah? Then why did you chase us? Was it.. because of.. me?" I gave him an appeasing look, smirking.
The hottie did another hairflip.
"Babe, I would chase on any other day. But today I cannot, because it is the day of the great summoning!"
"The great summoning?" Ah, he must mean the notice I recieved yesterday about the heroes from another world!
"Yes, we are the Revolution Army. We must shatter the central summoning crystal in the capital! Our comrades are enroute to shatter the lesser crystals in the countless border towns."
"But why?" The old man grabbed the hottie's collar. "They are going to be our saviors! We need them to stop the monster raids!"
The old man was flung off.
"That's why you peasants are sheeple!"
I agree with this hottie! Peasants are dumb like ninety nine percent of the time. That's why only smart rich people like daddy make decisions.
"Don't you understand the implications of immortality? We've been doing fine against the monster raids! We cannot risk having a double-edged sword."
I don't really understand what the hottie was talking about, but his voice was so comforting. "I agree with you!" I declared.
"One look, and I know you are of noblesse linage. I would hate for such a pretty girl to get hurt. I wanted to tell you to stay clear of the Capital. There is going to be bloodshed, today. For humanity."
"For humanity!" The other non-bandit horseriders echoed.
"If I make it out today alive," the hottie took my hands. "It would be the greatest honor to meet you again."
"Wait!" I called out. "What is your name?!"
But the hottie already left, gallopping towards the capital. I stared at his muscled butt as he rode his pony. God, he was so sexy!
Suddenly! A beam of light smited down from the clear skies and the dark mist was dissipated!

To The Far Shore
Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail. The apocalypse has come and gone. And come back again, and left again... nobody really knows how often. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing is ever completely gone. Which is a shame for young Mazelton, as his family has been around a terribly long time, and made an astonishing amount of enemies. Millenia's worth. So he has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him well in the arts of core polishing. Or as you and I might know it- turning radioactive pellets into useful tools. And weapons. Updates Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Usual defensive tags applied. The goal isn't exactly family friendly, but you have probably seen worse on network TV. After the watershed. Not full blown HBO, let's say. This is the first novel I am sharing publicly, so feedback is very much appreciated and encouraged. Act 1 of the novel is completed, but do please let me know what works, what doesn't, and what you would like to see more of. Thank you, and Enjoy!
