《Reaper》Chapter 2 Part 2: New Morning
Advertisement
At the left side of the main hall, Selena passed a hallway with 3 portraits hanging on the wall. The end of the hallway looks like a dead end, but at the side Selena pushed the wall and a secret door slid open. A dark and narrow staircase appeared and Selena went down. After a few steps of the dark stairway, Selena raised her legs and kicked something in front of her. It was a door. It opened so suddenly that a girl squeal in shock.
The girl with gentle face and eyes, and have a wavy brown hair. Her bangs hide half of her face and she dresses in a black robe. Her name is Azul Drach Aguilles. A Half vampire and a witch, she is a high tier magician who uses dark magic but also have an affinity for nature magic. Her personality is as gentle as her face, she loves dark places and is one of the great generals of the demon lord. She is also a former healer, because of her nature magic when people back then don't know her identity.
"Aguilles..." Selena's face can't be seen through darkness because there is no single light in the room.
"Eek! S-Selena!" Aguilles turned the lights in panic by flicking her fingers. The lights that illuminate the room are torches flying near the wall, and are a few feets apart from each other.
"I told you to always open the light didn't I?" Selena shows an annoyed face while trying to tell her to always open the lights.
Aguilles hunched back, Selena saw that and sighed. Due to Aguilles' past she can't just trust anyone not even the demon lord.
Selena, the former demon lord, and his wife are the only ones she trusts.
She knows how loyal Selena is and how she protects her friends.

Selena put Grim's body at one of the beds that are near the walls and went beside Aguilles. She patted Aguilles' back.
"Come on Aguilles, I'm not mad, just annoyed. Don't slouch be confident!" She smiled at her while encouraging her.
Aguilles was so happy but also made a worried face.
Selena asked her what's the problem after seeing her making that face.
"Y-you're hands... my head... blood..." Aguilles shyly said.
Selena forgot that he held Grim's body and his guts. Though his body was found at the beach making his body wet from the ocean. The body is still fresh and is still secreting little blood.
"O-oh, you're right sorry my bad." Selena laughs while putting her hand away.
Aguilles turned her eyes to Grim's body and asked:
"What happened. Do you know him?"
Selena shook his head as saying no to Aguilles' question.
"I just found him at the beach near the Whiteshore border with that weird necklace. Also, Gabriel said to stitch him up." Selena said.
"Oh, okay." Aguilles answered. She went to her table at the back corner of the room and grabbed some supplies at the drawer. She also grabbed a chair and sit beside Grim's bed.
Selena gave a puzzled look at Aguilles. "Won't you just use magic to stitch this guy?"
Aguilles smiled while looking at Grim's face and pulled the thread and needle and started stitching while answering Selena's question.
"I felt like I shouldn't. It feels like I know him."
A few moments later Aguilles is almost at the end of stitching when someone yelled and kicked the door.
"Heya! Aguilles! You saw my honey?! Gabe said she came back. Huh? There are lights. That's weir- Ah! My honey!"
A guy with white hair and blue eyes. He is wearing a leather sleeveless clothes, his nails where unclipped, and one of his fangs were showing also one of his ears are also pierced.

"How many times should I tell you that I'm not your honey? Grey." Selena said while making a poker face at the guy who entered.
Grey is a member of Selena's pack he wasn't part of Selena's expedition before due to some injury.
"Hi, Grey! Are your injuries alright now?" Aguilles asked.
Grey gave her a wide smile and nodded he also saw Grim's body at the bed.
"What's that? Tonight's Dinner?" He asked.
Aguilles panicked at what she heard and covered Grim's body like she was protecting Grim while Selena smacked the back of his head.
"You don't have any dinner today you idiot. I told you to rest, look you're spilling at your side. Still doing training even though I told you to lay down!" Selena pointed out the side of Grey's waist spilling blood.
"Also, we still don't know anything about this body it looks like it's half alive." She continued.
"He is alive though, but also dead." Aguilles said, making the other two do a confused face.
"I can feel his soul still clinging to the body. It's a complete and successful resurrection." Aguilles continued while making a mixed sad and relieved face.
"Resurrection?! Are you sure?!" Selena shockingly asked Aguilles and looked at Grim's pale face.
"Then why is he dead? Shouldn't he be alive?" Selena asked again.
"He is alive and also dead. The body is dead, but the soul is still there allowing him to continue walking in this world while having his own will. One thing I want to know is how and who did it. I have been studying dark magic for ages but..." Aguilles stopped.
Selena saw her making a lonely face and hugged her without saying anything.
Grey did not interrupt them. He also knows how hurt Aguilles is right now. He might be an annoying guy but he is considerate and is a good guy.
The three of them stayed like that for a few seconds and left the room.

What?! The world outside the village is full of villains.
Saulo Delanova is a young Amish. He doesn't use electricity, travels by horse and carriage, and eats what he sows in a community with a traditional lifestyle, rural and voluntarily separated from modern society. A community that for foreign eyes is frozen in time. When he decides to experience the modernity that he heard so much about the cities outside of his region, a theft forces him to stop on his way to the capital city. The situation would be manageable if it weren't for a detail. In his community they live under the principles of nonviolence! In a world where each being is born with an identifying color, can summon a weapon and fight with the power of the elements -or what is known as trinity or three characteristics of a user-, villains abound because of this power that each person can easily use.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
