***************
-Princess's POV-
I am Lisanna, Opial, Rudolph, the 3rd. A princess. But I dare say that it's not as good as you think to be a royal girl. My royal family's heritage is of the girls, while, princes that will benefit the kingdoms fame and glory or economy, we princesses of the Opial Rudolph heritage are forced to marry them one day. I, for one, enjoyed the stories of peasants and royalty falling in love. I in fact have no intentions of marrying someone I don't know. It is irrational and illogical if you consider the feelings of me. Luckily for me, right now the [hero summoning] is required due to the recent war. My father said that we were declared war on from the hostile Demons, but I feel that something's off. I will ponder that later. If there was the rare chance of the [Pure Light Hero] appearing in the summoning, then father promised me I could try to become close to him and build a relationship without being forced to marry some fat guy from across the continent. It's tomorrow! There's only a small chance though... But still... I can't wait to see what he looks like!
********************
-Next Day/Day of hero summoning-
Finally the next day, after hearing a fairly large *FLASH* My parents and I took our respective seats in the throne room. When the heroes first arrived, I thought why are they so young? I would've thought they would be fairly older than me, who is 14, but it seems that they are younger than me?!
I immediately observed. Mother and Father had already trained me to notice the differences between peoples' expressions, thoughts, physical and mental prowess/state of mind. I could analyze a person immediately and find out if they were competent. I also kept a posture that mother had taught me for when meeting someone that you wanted to charm. First, I saw about 30 or so prodigy level people. And then after a while... I singled out... 3 people.

First, the skinny one donning the spectacles: Ignoring his openly perverted face, I noticed his mental capabilities were his strength It was at a genius's level! His physical capabilities were about same as the other 30 though. Hmmmm probably a nice powerful mage. Most likely a harmonic one.
Next, the blond haired one. I noted his fair blond hair, confident posture, smile, and well toned body.... Get a hold of yourself Lisanna! Hasn't Father and Mother taught you before!? Never judge by appearance, but I had to admit, this one was very handsome.... No! First, his mental prowess was just falling short of the perverted spectacles but were still much higher than the others. But he also had very good physical build... Humu, maybe a magical swordsman... orrrr Oh! Yes! A palladin! I imagined myself in a princess carry. Tehehehe~ Holy hero and Princess.... Tehehehe~ Of course I hid all of this in my mind as my face remained calm! Hehe!
Ok, I had already made out the blond one to be exceptionally nice and handsome skilled in physical and mental capabilities... wait. I'll check the other one.
With a bit of reluctance in my heart, I looked at the skinny one with average looks, weak, wiry almost wimpy build. He didn't look like much and I had already singled out the blond handsome one... but why did my instinct tell me he was powerful?
I observed him a little closer. Hmmm surprisingly fast! Faster than the other 30?! Hmm... I can see now... He's also got mental capabilities that surpasses the others to... But... Not much strength... His eyes... they have quite a powerful stare... maybe an assassin or speed rogue... I'm quite captivated by this boys eyes...
***********************
Little did the princess know it, but those eyes were only that way because of months of allnighters playing videogames, reading manga, watching anime, and scrolling light novel recs. Kris had developed an uncanny ability of eyesight and the ability to see through the dark. This is not considered a skill because it's just part of his body and not a special ability. And his speed? It was a result of running from Kevin and his gang for all his life. Mental capabilities? 1. His Best Friend was Colby, a genius in the real world 2. He had studied like hell was after him after Kevin bothered him for being "dumb".
***********************
Of course, the princess did not no that, and still had Kevin a little higher in her book. Until that happened.
To be continued...
(A.N: Yeah right! Like I could make such a short chapter after making you guys wait for so long because of my own school difficulties! I'll work till there's no tommorrow!!!
*****************************************************************
-Time when Kevin bows-
"We'll do it"
The blond one knelt after hearing our circumstances. Wow~! He's so noble and charming just doing this for us~!
"..."
not.
I remember learning in history class that there is no such thing as pure altruism. I noticed just for a split second, the lustful look in his eye. He did well to hide it. But it was still there. It was very different from the spectacles gaze. This one was more dark and creepy. Unlike the ridiculous openly and pure perverted gaze from spectacles.

I noticed the other 2 I singled out looking at him as if they were used to him and knew his ulterior motives. Hmmm this blond boy although handsome, just got bumped down a little in my book.
Father asks who he is, and he replies.
"Who are you, young man?"
"I am somewhat the leader of the group of people behind me. And we will consider helping your kingdom for a reward."
Hmm.. Okay... so I guess it's okay to trust him now... he's also handsome... No! Even if he's not a suspicious altruist, he's gotta have some other ulterior motive. I got a shiver down my back.
After father shows them the [STATUS WINDOW], all look surprised, even 'him' but surprisingly I noticed that the other 2 didn't look surprised and instead had a look of ecstasy about them?
After a while, everybody was crowded around Kevin, I learned his name during the introductions.I also learned the other 2 were Colby and Kris. And it seemed he was the rumored [pure light hero]!!! Hmm... If I can correct his bad parts... He's just the perfect person! Hehehehe...
And then it happened. It was horrible. And I wanted to do it over. I wanted to have been able to do at least something.
I watched as Kevin put on a smirk,
I watched as father gave permission for what he did, I wanted to argue but father would not risk the relationship with the [pure light hero].
I watched as they dashed at Kris and Spectacles Colby.
I watched as Kris was punched and vomited blood
I watched as Colby fended off attackers,
I watched as Kris manifested mana in his feet. It was strange, he had no training, and yet, he actually was able to unconsciously gain the [mana manipulation] skill.
I watched as Kevin showed a nasty face,
But I also watched as Kris showed a stupid grin and struggled to hang on wilst shoving his middle finger at Kevin.
And I had the strangest sense, that they would still be alright as they fell.
***********************
-After 2 Human Corpses were reported missing-
"Cheers!"
I watched numbly as I tiptoed the heroes that were participating in tonights banquet. How dare they act like they had not just tried to murder a fellow human?! I, Princess Lisanna Opial Rudolph, the 3rd will not let this go!
*shinng*
Finally, the magic code on the vault glowed and disappeared. I reached in and scrolled the scrolls with my eyes. Pun was intended. I saw one in the back and reached for it.
And, I was out!
*********************
I quickly crept back to the party and opened the scroll. I pointed it at Kevin. Why, you ask? Why, the scroll I had was a [Dark Title Revealing Scroll] It was rare and was quite expensive, but I had a very big hunch. Annnd It came!
[You have used a [Dark Title Revealing Scroll]!
Now, you will reveal all of the targets hidden titles, If the target has hidden targets, good for you! If not, To bad!
Number of Kevin's hidden titles: 3
Jerk, Playboy, Conner
Title: Jerk
You are a jerk to others and have bullied for years...Jerk!
-10 dexterity
+10strength
Title: Playboy
You have wooed many Girls! Girls will feel an unnatural attractiveness to you and want to be with you!
May not work if Girl has a special dislike of you, or if girl is aware of your power.
+10 intelligence
-100 popularity with males or +100 respect with males. They will either hate or respect your skill of lure!
Title: Conner
You have twisted the truth with your words to not lie, but to con! Now, you can woo even more girls in circumstances!
-infinite popularity with anybody if found out
I gasped, wow. I am nooooot marrying a guy like him! Even if he has the pure [light] element, it doesn't matter. An element of [light] used to murder is still murder by the element of [light]. An Element of [darkness] used to save people is still just an element used for good.
I don't care if he's some hotshot [pure light hero] I'll never marry some guy like that!
I rush to my room, I ask Hilda, the head maid, to prepare a horse for me. I gather my allowance and store it in my bag. Hilda, after hearing my situation, understands. She is, after all, like a big sister to me. I was raised with her. Even though these few days I had been daydreaming about the hero, I had kind of ignored her.
Now, for the big show. I rush into the banquet room and stand on the table. Thrust the scroll down and say,
"All of you cowards! You murderers! I'll never think of you as heroes!"
I turn to father,
"And Father! You disappoint me! To take 2 innocent peoples lives for another's! An element is like a knife, It can be used to save someone, then It's justified! If it's used for murder then that element means nothing! I don't care about you guys or that [pure light hero]! He's not even a good normal person! Look at that scroll on the table!
After that I jump out of the window crazily. But we're about 600 meters above the ground... And Hilda uses Air magic to bring me down softly. The others don't know this of course, so I'm satisfied with the scare I gave them. I get into the carrage and ride down into the night. My thoughts drift to Kris... I don't even know him... He might not even be alive... But nonetheless, my thoughts slowly drift to him. I wonder why?
**********************
That night, many guards were deployed into the kingdom looking for something. Nobody knew why, except for the ones directly involved with the royal palace...
**********************
Sorry for the sloppy chapter! Took me a few days to write this... I really can't take on the perspective of a girl... I really have no experience with that stuff... Let me quote Yukiro from (LNW) "Social activity? What is that? Some kind of disease? If so I don't wanna catch it!"
At least, I think it was like that... I'm to tired to bomb... bye~

The God Complex
Alon wishes to be remembered—to stamp his existence on this cruel world, to engrave the fact that "he was here" into the very Earth. This is his sole purpose; To be important. For what greater reason is there to exist if not to be remembered? People are special. People aren’t... Your actions in this life define how those left behind remember you. Once you die, you’re reborn and live on, if only for a time; The grander the actions in this life, the longer your second one becomes. Alon knows this better than anyone, and he will live in the minds and hearts of everyone in Krestelen longer than anyone that has come before. Krestelen is a place long forgotten by those outside its walls; known by most as the Cursed City of The Dead, with the Lower Tier of the City being abandoned by the Upper Tiers after an inexplicable Fog blanketed the entire sector thirty-four years ago. This Fog adds those unfortunate enough to be caught within it into the legions of Vacant roaming the empty streets of the city: A creature that has seemingly lost all reasoning and sanity, to wander around the streets crying into the palms of their hands as they beg for help, to be freed from their condition. This is the place that Alon, and the Gang led by his mentor Casian, shall steal the very source of what gives those in power—the rightfully ruling family, the Deramore's—their ability to live in luxury as those below in the Lower Tier struggles to survive. They will forever be cast into the annals of the history of this cursed place—for better, or for worse.
