《The embodiment of pain, sadness, and hatred》Chapter 4 beginnings of an army
Advertisement
It has been a few day's since I entered the cave and during that time I made a small army. I also learned a few things. 1 is that this world is called Aerthon. Many creatures call this place home. I used the goblins memories as a source. Their are humans here along with elves and pig-man things the goblins call orcs. They also showed me a few of the creatures that lived in the forest outside. It seems the wolf that attacked me along with the ones I captured are called steel wolves. It seems they not only attack with their teeth and claws but it seems if your touched by the fur it can cut you like steel and it's just as hard. The big spider I caught seems to be rare around here since I couldn't find anything about it in the goblins memories. It's the same thing with the foxes as I couldn't find a thing in the memories. I was able to figure out a little more about my powers too. When I had the darkness spread throughout the goblins body I was able to feel their heart beats and hear their thoughts.
This soon became really annoying. So with a bit of time and concentration I made the darkness cause pain to their hearts if they thought about betraying me and altered their brains so they only thought about being loyal to me. Then I shut off the connection that allowed me to know whats happening inside them both physically and mentally. But I noticed something odd. While I was concentrating on cutting the connection the goblins and me had. Inside each goblin was a bright orb thing that went beyond the goblins minds and body's. I first thought it was a soul but I wasn't sure. Then I noticed a part of the orb was black. Like it separated itself from the rest. When I poured the darkness into the orb it became a part of the darkness and I tried to get to the part that separated itself from the rest. At first it resisted but then I put more darkness into it and I immediately got to the separated part. Then a change occurred in the goblins body's. The goblins were wrapped in black light and began to grow.

The goblins grew until they became average height or taller. Not only that but unlike before where they all looked the same with bald heads, big noses, and sharp teeth. They all started to grow hair. They also gained muscles which differed between them. Some had average muscles which compared to before when they had twigs for muscles is quite the improvement. While others kept growing till they grew 6 packs. Some grew breasts and had some curves along with a beautiful face to complete the package. I was shocked (How could these things who just a few seconds were so weak and disturbingly ugly turn into strong and beautiful looking creatures?) I began interrogating each and every goblin. Each said they felt much stronger and much more powerful. Some even made fireballs and a little lightning. After I finally wrapped my mind around these incredible changes these guys went through. I then brought the creatures that fell victim to the darkness out. They seemed to be like the goblins. They seemed very loyal and the injured fox seemed much better.
Like the goblins they to had the orbs though they were different sizes. The one with the largest orb was the bigger fox. Then the lager fox spoke to me though it didn't use it's mouth or the darkness. It just spoke directly into my mind (I thank you creature for saving mine and my child's life.) It seems that they were running away from a bear that used some sort of wind magic. The bigger fox, who is called Gerard, was injured protecting his daughter, who is called Wendy. It seems Gerard was on his last few breaths before they fell victim to the darkness. Gerard and Wendy are from a rare species called silver foxes. They make great companions for warriors and wizards because they contain incredible magic power which can be morphed into whatever is necessary for their masters. But the problem is that the the fox and the individual have to be compatible with each other or their power will never be unlocked. Because of this those that tried to have a fox be their companion only to find their incompatible would kill the fox in a fit of rage.

(I would like it if you became the master for my child.) Hearing this I turned to Gerard shocked that he said this and asked (Why would you want me as her master?) Than Gerard spoke (We need to repay you for saving our lives and since I had a master already I can't offer you anything else other than to be a loyal soldier which isn't enough to repay this debt.) After hearing this I thought about it a little and said (Only if Wendy wants this since i'd rather not force her into it.) Then another voice spoke this time it was a girl's voice (I am more than willing to go through with this.) The voice came from Wendy and it sounded determined. I sighed after hearing this and said (Alright so what do we need to do to see if i'm compatible?) (Actually I already tested that and we are more than compatible.) When Wendy said that I asked (When did you do this?) It seems even if your in the darkness you still remain conscious and you can even feel the pain, sadness, and hatred that I feel. After she felt this she wanted to become my companion to help me out and did the test.
Apparently she understood my pain since a group of humans killed her family members because they weren't compatible with them or they already had masters. Apparently they were all rounded, Wendy included, and when they found out they weren't compatible they would kill the foxes. Wendy was the last one and before they tested her Gerard showed up and killed them all. Hearing this I said (Alright what do I need to do?) Gerard replied (To form a contract you need to offer a drop of blood to Wendy so that her powers can be unlocked and to show as proof that you two are connected as master and companion.) I nodded when I heard this and did what he said. When I cut my finger black blood came out then I held it out to Wendy. She then began to lick it then a couple of seconds later there was a sudden light that filled the cave and the light slowly became darker. When I turned and looked what greeted my eye's wasn't a little fox but a beautiful, naked girl with fox ears and a tail.
(W-w-Wendy?) I asked (Yes it is me. Why do you ask?) It doesn't seem like she's noticed yet. She looks down and notices her changes. She's about 5 ft, long silver hair, great curves, a huge bust, and a face that can make your heart skip a beat. But her eye's stood out from the rest. They were like 2 beautiful ruby's that could entice you. She looked at Gerard for an explanation (This is unusual. It is said that the only way for a silver fox to take on the form of a human is that the one compatible with the fox must have unbelievable power.) Like me he was shocked and confused. Then asked me (What exactly are you?) (..... I can't answer that since not even I know what I am anymore.) was the response I gave.
Before anything else could happen I made Wendy a top and pants using the darkness to cover herself up with. (Quickly put these on.) I said while I was looking away from her. She looked at the clothes smiled and said (Thank you master.) When she finished putting on the clothes I said (Could you not call me master? It's a little weird.) She looked at me confused and asked (Than what shall I call you?) She asked a good question. (What should I be called?) I thought to myself. The name Allan Jons only comes with painful memories of my past life. I thought for a few minutes than spoke (You can call me Lucien.)
Wendy looked at me. A bit of sadness can be seen in here eyes. (I wonder what's wrong?) I thought. Than she smiled and said (Alright thanks Lucien.)

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

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...
