《Reincarnation as ???》Chapter 12 - History Lesson

"W-wait, don't be too hasty here!" I take the third option.
"Hmm, too hasty? What is too hasty about my actions?" she replies.
"Well, for starters, how in the world do you even know about me? I don't recall ever meeting you before and I am sure as hell that I'm not famous enough for any random strangers to know about me!"
She merely giggles in response to my passionate questioning.
"Why, I have been watching you, of course!"
"W-wait, what?" I answer. "Since when?"
"Oh, I dunno, somewhere around when you were busy eating everything you could find in that forest," she answers casually, "I have ears and eyes around the world, you know. That forest is no exception."
"S-so, all this time--"
"Yes, I have been watching. But I chose not to introduce myself since I am still not sure whether or not I should risk myself by revealing my existence to you. The Three Heroes still don't know that I am still alive after all. But then, you try to infiltrate one of their headquarters, setting yourself up against their enemies. At this point I decide to try my luck in recruiting you to join my side."
"And if I refuse?"
"Well..." she sighs. "If you do, there are two ways out of this predicament. First is to forget everything and think of all of this as an unrecallable dream. You have to willingly forget though as this dream is quite different from your ordinary one. And the other one is the unpleasant option of my crow familiar jabbing its fangs into your little chicken's throat if you refuse to forget."
This bitch! she's threatening me!
"Oh, don't look at me like that! I am not ready to expose myself to them just yet! I have to survive too you know!" she defends herself.

Yeah, no. This smells like you're just using me to further your own goals rather than actually helping me.
"I have another thing to ask." I look at her straight at the eyes. "If I join you, I'm just going to be dragged into your demon-human war, ain't I? Sorry, but no. I have no interest in that. All I want is to save the little girl and she's already declared not-guilty by those three. So I have no business with them anymore. Now my goal is back to merely surviving and evolving back until I can make another human body."
Hearing that, her expression turns that of a roaring laughter.
"Oh, oh, how naive you are! You think the girl is safe? Perhaps she's not executed but that only means she's going to be brainwashed to become their enforcers! There's no going back to her old life for that kid!"
"W-wait, brainwashed?" I ask. That came out of the left field.
"Yes! Did you meet a fairy while you're there?"
I nod. Who will forget that one annoying girl? Bitch keeps kicking me while I'm down.
"She's Titania! The great and powerful Fairy Queen in the flesh! And look what happens to her now! Robbed from her wisdom, she's reduced to a giggling puppy for Mira to play with!"
N-no way! That immature fairy... the Fairy Queen?
But that explains something. Was she the one who paralyzed me? If she's really the Fairy Queen, then she should possess enough powers to do so!
"Yes, that is how the Three Heroes operate! They will destroy or brainwash anyone standing on their path to utopia, be it demons or humans! Not only demons suffer underneath their tyranny! After they defeated me and my kin, they began cleansing the human world from any of those they deem 'unworthy'. And thus the old order is no more and they stand tall as the rulers of the human world!"

This... this is too much info for me to take at once!
...Okay, if she's really talking the truth, then I really need to go back in there and save her! No way I'm going to let her be turned into a puppet!
But what if she's just saying this just to turn me to her side?
Damn, I got no damn clue on what's going on in this world!
"So, how about it? What is your decision?"
"...Fine. Let's say I decide to join you. Then what?"
"Then, my crow will carry you right away to my hidden lair. There, you will be feed the most nutritious things so you will evolve to a strong being, strong enough to challenge the Three Heroes."
"Then, wouldn't that make you at risk?" I answer. "At that point, I reckon I will be strong enough to beat you to a pulp."
She laughs. "True. But you won't. I don't think you're the kind of person who will kill people just because you can. And you'll want me to help you fight against the Three Heroes."
"But my goal isn't to fight them. It's just to save her. Once I am strong enough to do so, I won't need your help. And I will leave you to your own fate."
"Oh, but you do have to fight them. They will hunt you to the ends of the earth once they know what level of power you possess. You are a threat to their dominion and they will have to end you lest they risk ending themselves."
"You... you really are confident that they're that evil, aren't you?"
"I am always confident on the truth." She smiles.
I close my eyes and draw a deep breath.
"Fine. I agree. I'll go to your place."
"Wonderful!" She suddenly leaps at me and hugs me, crushing her ginormous boobs onto my chest. I can even feel her hardened nipples on the front. And what a nice scent she has! I can just smell it forever!
Then she releases me, but not before planting a kiss on my cheek.
"Time to wake up now! The crow should be right there when you wake up!"
And with that, my vision grows black.

8 63Erased
Alone in a vast expanse of knowledge and void of any previous memory what else was I to do but learn? The world above awaited me, but down here it was all I could do to read about it, prepare for it. How long would it take for me to see my first of the Learned Races, or encounter my first monster? To simply see a [City Guard] or a [Warrior] maybe even a [Mage], even then I'd be sated no matter how basic the Class. I wanted to witness what I read about, the fantastical [Secret Stache] of a [Treasure Hunter] or a [Pickpocket] using [Deft Hands]. These were natural occurrences above, but alas, I was below. And this deep down, I'd see my first horror before seeing any mere monster. My escape were the books but soon I'd turn that knowledge into a real escape, I'd emerge from this dear library and claw my way above. But I'd need to prepare myself, I just didn't know how yet. So back to my books.
