Ch.3

The legless corpse wriggling about when I cast [Resurrection] skill on him, he moved violently with his mouth gasping out for fresh air just like a goldfish, but maybe because he lost too much blood or maybe because the [Resurrection] is not healing his wounds the man return to his original state, a corpse. Amused by his reaction I cast [Resurrection] skill over and over again, and suddenly he spoke in an eerie voice, but because of the non-stopping women screams and moan I can barely heard his voice.

“P….P-Please……. S-Stop….”

Surprised because apparently the corpse had consciousness when I play with it, I decide to do something else this time I used one of the recovery skills I have.

“[Heal]”

I cast healing skill on the corpse, and slowly he started to grow a new pair of legs and colors return to his body. Once was a white, legless corpse, is now restored to a perfect state with both of his legs intact as if it was just a man sleeping on the ground instead of corpse. I once again cast [Resurrection] skill and suddenly he stand, it was so sudden that out of reflex I grabbed his leg, and since I’m still on my squatting position I only managed to grab his leg. The man started to look around as if searching for something, and when he looked down at me, I smiled. As soon as he sees me, he tried to run but since I’m still holding his leg, he fell, he fall on his own pool of bloods. After seeing small pieces chunk of meats inside the pool of bloods, his body started to tremble and his face is started to lose its colors. I dragged him out of the bloods. I dragged him on his leg and put him on the ground as I sit on a nearby wooden chair. While looking on his pitiful state on the ground, I asked.

“What are you planning to do now?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Without uttering a single word the man keep lying on the ground with his face facing the ground, he do not dare to speak to the girl sitting on the chair few steps from him, he do not even dare to just looked at her as he remember the pain he felt when she cut his legs bit by bit, he remembered the pain when she bring him back from the death over and over again. For once in his entire lives he never felt such fear before, just by looking at her made his body tremble in fear. He needs to get away from here fast, he needs to get away from this girl as fast as possible and as far as possible, and when he mustered his remaining will to run the girl spoke with a soft voice.

“You know you can’t run from me.”

“You should know, even death couldn’t save you from me.”

Hearing her saying that, all of his will to run is suddenly disappeared. With his head facing down the man keep lying still on the ground, he do not dare to move nor speak, he keep lying on the ground as he feel more fears towards the girl who is currently sitting not far from him. She shattered all of his remaining will with just few words, he knew very well what she says is true, she is telling the truth when she says that even death cannot save him, he after all experienced it himself as she bring him back from the death just to suffer over and over again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking down at the man lying on the ground I feel more joy towards myself. There are many ways to control people, but the most effective one is with fear, if people fear you they will try to stay away or refused to get involved with you, but what if they can’t run? What if they don’t have place to hide? There’s only one thing left for them to do, they can only yield to their fears. I knew, since the first time this man spoke I knew that I could break his will easily, well there’s a saying that people who barks much will bite less. And after seeing the result I feel proud towards myself, the first mental game I played ended in great success, seeing his pitiful state I started to think, ‘maybe he’s on the very edge of his sanity’, ‘maybe a little bit more push will turns him insane’, with all those thought I decide to not frighten him anymore and act out my next play. I asked him to turn around as he turns around and looking at me I showed him my lonesome expression.

“You know I’m not from this world right?”

“You know I have no knowledge of this world right, and I don’t have anyone to rely on, I need someone to rely on, I need someone to teach me and tell me about things, I need someone to follow me.”

And I changed my expression into one with pure smile as I stand from my seat and reach my hand out to him.

“So what you say? Will you follow me? Will you teach me and tell me things about this world? Will you be someone I can rely on?”

“Will you follow me to whatever end?”

Maybe because of my acting skill, the man reaches out his hand without hesitation and I grabbed it to help him stand, I asked for his name.

“Just call me Donald.”

“Mine is Larissa.”

“Now Donald, I promised you that no harm will fall on you as long as you follow me, and now you may go and have some fun with your friends over there.”

I decide to change my name and instead of my real name I used my the name of my character. I pointed at the place where the men still raping the women, as he turns his head them I changed my smile into one filled with kindness mixed with a little bit sadness in it.

“Go, enjoy yourselves, I will wait for you here, I trusted that you’ll come back here when you’re done.”

And for the final blow I changed my expression into one filled with sadness and lonesome and spoke in a low voice.

“I hope you will come back.”

Donald left to the place where his friends having fun, he left Larissa with heavy steps. People filled with fear is easy to control, but once they taste a little bit of kindness, they’ll forget all of their fears behind, and what happened when you shows that the person showing such kindness is also lonely and sad, they will stand by your side with all they had until something remind them about their fears and why they fears it. With such thought I showed him kindness and I also showed him my ‘vulnerable’ side, well if he betrayed me I’ll just have him remember his fear. I sat back on the chair as I watch the men still vigorously raping the women, well the blessing effect will wear off soon I think.

Roughly around 10 minutes Donald finally returns, that was fast, well considering I didn’t give him any [Blessing] skills no wonder he finished after 10 minutes. We spent the rest of that day talking about this world, I asked a lot of things about this world, I asked about the name of the places and where they are, I compared them with the game I used to play before, but apparently the places name are different from my game which means that I’m not inside the game, well maybe, but somehow I can use my skills just fine, even if I can’t open my tab skills or see my HP or SP bar I somehow still able to use my inventory which is fine since I remember almost all of my skills, but unfortunately I can’t use my storage. Maybe because I haven’t think about it or I just don’t have time to think about it, but as soon as I think about the storage, a lists of items appeared before my eyes. I continued to chat with Donald while scrolling through the lists of items in my storage, he also tells me about how they managed to raid the village with the help from one of the villager, and when I asked where that villager is, he pointed at the place where I land, apparently the person I hit during my fall is that villager. Finished talking with Donald I then search for food in the nearby house, and lucky me, I found two portion of steak hidden in the kitchen, considering that I’m quite hungry, I decide to eat both portion, even if the meat is a bit hard I still managed to finished it. I realized when I search for food there’s no mirror or any kind of glassware in this house, everything is made of wood, stone, or just hard clay. When I think that I need mirror to see how I look, I suddenly remembered something, I open my storage list and take out something from it, I took out Mirror Frame from my storage, suddenly a silver hand mirror with a beautiful crafted frame appeared out of nowhere in my hand. During my time playing the game I always collected everything I could find, even if some player consider it to be just a trash I still collect them, and Mirror Frame is just one of the trash drop from a field monster, and since I have plenty of those I took one out and looked into it. A woman with golden hair, thin lips, slender but sharp eyes reflected in the mirror. My heart filled with joy knowing I have my character looks from the game. It took hours just to create my ideal images of a woman, I create it with desire if I can choose how would I look when I born, I wanted to be like her, so I create my perfect image of a woman.

Three days have passed since I arrived here, I lived in one of the empty house spending my days asking more information about this world, apparently, the currency I used in the game with the currency they used is different, even if the gold itself is still have some value in it but Donald said that there’s no one willing to trade if I used my gold, their currency is only contain a copper coin, silver coin, and gold coin, their coins is just as big as a marble, they flatten the copper, silver, and gold and turns them into money, the shape is not even perfectly round, some are oval, there’s also some which almost looks like square coins. There’s a very obvious difference between my gold and the gold they used as currency, mine is perfectly round with a lion head in the middle of it and some unknown inscription surrounding it’s edge, and my gold coins is around 5 mm thick while their coins is very thin, I’m afraid that I might break it accidentally when I hold it. I also found out that there’s a huge city south of here, its name is Holy City of Thymel, and I decide that I would be going there first.

On the fourth day the bandits finally ran out of stamina. I was a bit surprised when I know that my [Mass Blessing] effect last longer than I thought, when it was still a game the [Mass Blessing] effect only last for around 30 minutes, but here in this world somehow they last for four days. When I see a group of men chatting leisurely in front of a house I asked them where they put the women are and asked them to take me there, because there’s just no way for them to have outdoor sex for three days. They take me into some huge building, and when I entered the building I could smell a faint smell of fish and when one of them open one of the room inside the building, a foul stench stroke my nose, it was so stink as if there’s a lot of dead fishes saved in one place, ignoring the smell as hard as I could, I walked into the room and start looking at the women eyes, as I walked around the room I could see that the women are already broken, there’s no more light showing in their eyes as they stare blankly on the ground, but as I keep walking around the room, suddenly a woman jumped out of her place and strike me, maybe it’s just her desperate attempt or whether if she’s just exhausted, I feel no strength coming from her when she rammed her body on me and she fell.
