《Another life》Chapter 16

---Allen POV---
In the end dad let the girl to stay here for a while. Even if it's only a while I still get someone to do grocery shopping..
.. Is what I thought yesterday, but at last reality isn't that kind to me. The next morning when dad has gone to work the girl finally wakes up.
She eats, and then wear the clothes I gave her, and then… nothing. She just sat in the bed doing nothing like a doll. Well this is no fun, so I tried to talk to her.
The result? “...” Is all I get from her
She won't answer things without the option of “yes” or “no” what a troublesome girl.
I left her all alone for now, maybe she just stayed silent because of the change of scenery.
Right now, I'm having breakfast downstairs. Today's breakfast is bread with soup.
‘So, did things go as you expected?’
‘No, not now that is. She's probably still adjusting to the environment.’ I said as I eat the bread.
‘Yeah, by the way it's been quite sometime now but the girl… how should I say this..’
‘Hm? What is it?’
‘I don't know if you're aware of it, but that girl is a blood elf.’
‘Is that so? But if she's a blood elf she won't be here in the city starving in an alley won’t she? She can just kill people and take their money so that she can eat.’
‘True, but thay only happens if you're a true blood elf.’
‘So you're saying she's a halfling?’
‘No not that, it's like there's another-’
*crank*
A sound of a broken glass came from upstairs. Don't tell me she's trying to escape? Oh no, not while I'm here.
I run to my room, as fast as I can. When I open the door, what I saw was something… unbelievable?
A red liquid moving like a tentacle came out from the cuts on her body. From the look's of it I take it that the liquid is blood, and judging from the mana in them I guess she's using magic to control them.
I look to at the elf, she has this little grin on her face. As if she has predict this would happen.
“So you're the one who helped me? I thank you for that, if you haven't helped me then both me, and this girl will die.”
Wait,wait both her, and the girl? Does this mean there's 2 soul in the elf's body?
The girl then point her finger at me, and said. “As thanks, I'll give you a quick death.”

The tentacle like liquid charge in at me, while the girl showed a smile as if she's already knew that she's winning. This would be dangerous..
..Is what I usually said in this kind of situation, good thing I already predict this coming. With a snap of a finger a sudden red mark appear on her back.
“What!?” Said the girl as soon as she saw the liquid lose it's form, and turn to a liquid. I could only smirk when I saw her face.
‘Heh, who knew that it actually work. Are you sure you haven't practice making magic circles, runes, and using enhancements?’
‘Nope, besides you're always with me so why the heck are you asking that?’
‘It's just unbelievable how you create a seal you that works this good in the first try. And it's something new too.’
‘Honestly I'm surprised by this too. Sure I did came up with the theory, but I didn't think it will went this well.’
So what happened? Let me explain it with a simple, and plain explanation. You see, last night when dad was already asleep I did a few things to the girl.
No, not those kind of indecent things.
The few things I did to the girl body, is that I practice using runes, and enchantments only to strip them away when I'm done. Yeah, this is one of those hidden reasons I brought her here. In order to get a test subjects on the things I did.
Before I left, I notice that the girl has a lot of mana in her. I thought that it was because of the runes, and enchantments I put on the girl has a residue of mana so I make a failsafe in case things go haywire. A seal kind of failsafe.
It was pretty hard you know, first of all I had to draw a magic circle in order for me to active, and deactivated the seal by will. I can just skip this part, but if I did there's a chance I that her mana will be sealed until she found someone who can break the seal.
With that done, next it's time for me to start applying the enchantments, and the runes to the girl body.
The enhancements are just used to enhance the seal, the one that actually sealed her mana are the runes.
Well that's easy, is what all of you probably think right? Well I'm here to tell you that it's not.
It took me 6 hours to complete the seal, 6 whole hours without resting even a little. Not to mention I have to make sleeping pills every now and then to make sure she's stay asleep.

Fortunately making the sleeping pills isn't that hard. All I need to do is instead of pouring it to a bottle in a liquid state, I need to freeze it to turn it solid instead and make her swallow it. Which I used to make sure she swallowed it. I'm surprise she didn't choke when I did that.
When I'm done making the seal dad is already awake, and it's morning already. So in the end I didn't even get a wink of sleep, and now I'm so sleepy that I want to sleep for the whole day.
And it would've work too, if it weren't for this meddling little girl trying to kill me.
“What did you do!?” Ask the girl as she glared at me with her red eyes.
“Oh that? I just put in a seal to you last night.”
“impossible! If you did put one last night then I would've sense it!”
“I used some sleeping pills to make you fall asleep while I did that.”
She glare at me, and attack me using a piece of the broken glass, and throw it at me.
I used to stop it, and the next thing I knew she's already in front of me holding another piece of the broken glass pointing to my neck.
“Release the seal, or die!” She said as she draw the glass closer to my neck.
“I refuse.” I create a wall of ice, and blow the elf away using wind magic.
She was slammed to the wall as the result, before she try anything funny again I tied her using the red liquid on the floor and Bind her legs, and legs.
“Release me! If you do then I'll make sure you..” She shouts and threatened me.
In the middle of it I silence her using magic, so i can think of a way to solve the problem with this elf.
I could just throw her away, or maybe even kill her. But that would mean that I won't have someone to do errands for me.
Besides with her gone I won't have a test subject for the things I want to try with. Yeah, I'll just kill her as the last resort
Hmm, for now I'll have to think of a way to seal her soul, and let the other girl take over her body.
But then again, neither I nor Whis know how soul magic works. So maybe I should squeeze by using imagination alone.
Yeah, turns out Whis isn't omniscient. I learn this when I asked him to teach me about Transmutation. He said that he can't show me the “image” or teach me about things he haven't seen or comprehend.
The few things that i know he don't are Space-time magic, Soul magic, Transmutation, and Genesis magic.
When I know this I'm kind of disappointed knowing I had to learn these things the hard way. Them again, it might be actually more fun to do it the hard way.
Forgetting that matter, I still don't know how to seal or at least force her soul to sleep. And if she somehow becomes stronger to the point where I can't kill her then she'll just start rampaging and kill me.
Maybe I should kill her afterall? Then again I won't be able to trick dad again like this. Besides I don't think I can find another elf waiting to die on a dark alley again.
Ahh darn it! My whole plan just went haywire because of another soul inside this girl. Why can't she be normal so I can have her do errands for me.
“Hey! Answer me!” She suddenly shout when I'm thinking.
Well she certainly break my magic fast. Once again I use magic to silence her, this time with more mana into it.
I think, and think. Until I finally reach a conclusion. First of all I'll have her sleep until I can somehow manipulate, or seal her soul. Which means that I'll be creating more sleeping pills.
On every night I'll be draining her mana, while testing various runes, and seals on her to suppress her. Just from seeing how she break my magic that fast I can tell that the seal I made last night will be broken after a few days.
Then I'll try using soul magic with the knowledge, and imagination I have until I get it right (or until I decided to kill her whichever comes first) and maybe I'll try using the other magics that Whis can't teach me.
After a few days I'll probably control her body using magic and have her eat, and walk around in order for dad to not be suspicious.
And after a year, if things doesn't go well I'll most likely, no I will kill her.
Yeah this will do, well I hope it does. It's going to be busy for me now to the point I won't be getting much sleep, but at least I have something to occupy myself. Well at least until I decided to kill her that is.

8 273I can summon my past lives
What would you do if you were the only cultivator on the planet? What would you do if you could summon the soul bodies of your previous lives and leech off of their experiences? For the first time in my boring life, I finally saw the light. I was given the mission to become the strongest by any means necessary. Lucky for me, my past lives were quite badass in their respective universes during their prime until their untimely deaths...well most of them, I think. Their experiences remolded the current me to become their best version. I learned something: As powerful as they were, they still died for one reason or another until it was ultimately my time to live. In this life, I vow to learn from their mistakes and live forever. Besides, there must be a reason this {Requiem System} I got was given to me in this life. I am scared I am the last life to be reincarnated. If I die, there won’t be another do over. And why would I die if my reincarnations are also invested in this life as I am? They came with their powers intact...just that they lack a physical body which I am happy to share. With beings that strong at my beck and call, I think the bar that I must surpass had been raised a little bit too high. I am called Damon Kaze and I welcome you to this journey of my last reincarnation of mine. I can’t guarantee it’ll be your cup of tea, but hey, sometimes you never get what you wish for. You just have to live with it and hope for the best.

So if you had the chance to turn something dangerous into a weapon, why wouldn't you? This is what fate awaits a young man named Emmet.

What happens to weaver's once they are properly trained? And most importantly, will he survive long enough to have these questions answered?
