The first world is the vast, with several continent, and huge oceans. The largest land is covered in green, forest and grass, but its real secret lies underground. Even though there is no known way to access it from the surface, a tremendous multi-layered cave exists, inhabited by many monsters, stronger the deeper you go. The legends say that at the deepest floor lyes the strongest dragon ever recorded, and that he is sleeping since the first session appeared.

However, in one of the many alcoves within the labyrinth-like cave, a fight between two entities way beyond that was currently in an argument.

A beautiful young woman with black hair and purple eyes was trying to slash another woman with a dagger. Each cut in the air was cracking the space and crumbling the walls.

Nonetheless, her white-haired opponent wearing a mask was in no way disturbed. Each strike was stopped by a simple movement of her hand, and the broken empty space was instantly rebuilt by her gaze.

The difference in strength was overwhelming, but the assailant wasn’t phased by it, and restlessly continued her attacks.

“You know it’s pointless, do you?”

“It’s not every day I can have so much fun!”

"Listen… I'm willing to spar with you at a later time, but the girl will arrive soon."

It didn't slow down the assault though, so Eve had to intervene. She grabbed the moving blade, and slightly put her palm on her chest.

No sound was made, but the black-haired woman let her dagger go and was pushed a meter away. The strike looked weak, but she was now struggling to breathe.

“Are you satisfied, Kunan?”

After a few seconds, she managed to catch her breath, and with a big wide smile, answered back.

“I thought that Gods didn’t bleed...”

The small bruise on Eve’s cheek disappeared immediately after the remark, and she smiled back at Kunan.

“I never said that. Anyway, are you willing to follow the plan?”

“Yeah yeah… are you sure she is that amazing? I don’t like to teach people you know, even my sons learned on their own.”

"I promise, this one is special. She has talent."

“Come on, I have talent too. There must be something else.”

“That’s not really what I meant… you’ll see.”

Kunan’s remarked a spatial disturbance, she looked behind her, and a door was standing in the middle of the room.

She looked back at Eve, but she was already gone.

"Sigh… For a goddess, she sure meddles a lot…"

The door violently opened, and a young girl walked in.

Alice was slowly advancing in this new place, she was looking down, her face was still wet, as well as all her body.

She stopped after seeing that someone else was standing in front of her.

“What’s your name?”

“…Alice.”

"My time is precious, so I'm gonna go straight to the point. I was told to teach you the basics."

“…the… basics?”

“Take that.”

Kunan threw a small wooden dagger -brought by Eve- to Alice, that she grabbed in mid-air, a bit disturbed by the sudden turn of event.

“Take your stance.”

Saying that, she grabbed her own dagger, a beautiful silver dagger set with a diamond at the blade base, and took her position. Following the flow, Alice took the same stance.

‘Hum? That's interesting...'

It was perfect, her stance was perfect. It wasn't really complicated, but to do it on a first try is proof of genius, or it's a fluke. Finally, Kunan was getting into it.

"We have only a few hours ahead of us, so, just try to keep the pace."

And she unleashed a powerful slash, cutting half of the cave’s wall from bottom to the ceiling.

She expected the young girl with, oddly, the same hair colour as Eve to be freaked out, but her eyes were showing something totally different: they showed excitement.

Kunan finally realized, as Alice cut the air near her cheek, Kunan understood what Eve meant earlier. This girl… is different.

“And with that, we finished your training.”

"Already? But I didn't learn that much? It's been only 2 hours."

“You learned pretty much all you can with your current level. And I already said that my time is precious.”

“Also… You only taught me blade techniques…”

“So?”

“The wooden dagger just broke, and I don’t have another weapon with me.”

“Like I care, oh look! The door is back!”

“Wha…?!”

Kunan pushed Alice into the newly appeared transportation device with a surprise kick in the chest.

The door opened an instant to let her pass through, before violently closing itself and dissipate like screen smoke.

After a few minutes, she sighed and started to make her way to the surface.

Kunan was finally free of her "duty". She looked where the door was just seconds again, deep in reflection.

“So you finally found it, Eve. A fine candidate to kill you…”

That bitch!

Where the fuck am I? Ouch, my head, I think I hit a steel pole or something.

I looked back…

Well at least it's pretty straightforward this time, I'm in jail.
