I did it I did it
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
finally I did It it took me nine months without break but I did it, I can finally control my death aura. Take that crow look how quickly I finished it. I still can't believe I didn't die when my life force was leaking out of me at such a rapid pace pace but I finished it. Wait a second crow told me I would survive for around two years with my death aura on and I just spend nine months learning how to control it doesn't that mean I lost almost half of my remaining lifespan. That could turn into a big problem later on, well crow told me I could regain lifespan by devouring soul cores so I should be able to handle the repercussions.
Well I have absolutely no idea what to do now, lets just wait until crow comes back I hope she has been keeping an eye on me and thus knows I learned to control it.
But I really did a number on this forest around me. I think every plant in a 500 meter radius of my meditation spot has withered away. I really hope I did not kill any living creatures, cause I would sure hate to have their friends and family trying to kill me.
You know what I hope that there isn't a living soul close to me since if suddenly all plants in one area started dying I would definitely check it out, never mind just the plants dying of I felt such a miasma running amok in the middle of my forest I would be sure to investigate.
Wait maybe they wanted to investigate but couldn't because of my aura and now that it is gone most likely someone will come to look what happened, I need to get out of here. But I have grown rather accustomed to this now desolate plains and there is always the chance that the natives of this forest would be nice creatures and take me in or something like I have read in so many novels, maybe this will be my encounter with the elf race cause I heard there was a race like that, I do wonder what they would look like. So I guess I will just wait whilst hiding and see who comes for me.
I crawl into a tree activate my 'demon' form and control the mana in order to mask my presence. Now lets try to make something like a sensory field, I got no clue how a mage would do it but I guess I can do it like done in my old world.
I create extremely thin threads and attach them to myself and the trees now if any of those treads get broken I will feel the mana connection being lost and thus be notified. Now to get some sleep I haven’t slept in months, even if I do not need sleep it still gives a good feeling and I am happy to let my mind rest for a while. So I guess I will just doze off for a few hours.
SNAP
I wake up and see that one of my threads has been broken. If I have to guess around three hours have passed, I got to say they do work fast. Lets see who or what has wandered into my plains, I think I can see a group of five and there seem to be three females and two males and four of them seem to be carrying some sort of pole arm and one of the females carries no visible weapon but she seems to be acting as the leader of the group. Well now how do I approach them, shit I have no idea how to act around them. I guess this didn't change even in my previous life was I horrible with social interaction, I was lucky to only have to deal with kids and people who piss me of. For some reason I never had any trouble talking to any of these two groups of people.

Well I guess saying hi and giving my name is as good as any other introduction.
Ariel
Today is my big day the elders will finally send me on my first mission and it is one of the most dangerous ones in the history of the tribe, around nine months ago an extremely strong death aura suddenly flooded a part of the forest that is close to the entrance of our den, now this aura has disappeared and I was ordered to investigate the cause. The elders are so afraid of the person who this auro belongs to murdering us all that they are even willing to send out an away squad for the first time in decades.
This could be the greatest threat since us the disappearance of the true dragons. Oh if there still where real dragons instead of us demi-dragons we would never have been forced into hiding for hundreds of years.
I have been given one of the most elite of squads from our den under my control. This squad consist of two male guardians who skill with the halberd is beyond measure, they also are from the black dragon clan and this means that the their defense skyrockets when they turn into their demi-dragon form. The two females both wield a spear and are from the azure dragon clan which means that there recovery and healing powers are just insane killing one of them is almost impossible unless one can kill them in a single strike or negate their mana. Of course one can also just not give them the chance to transform, well not being able to transform is actually the bane of use demi-dragons since that way we can not use the power of our dragon linage.
I myself am the third daughter of the current chief of the ruling clan, the golden dragon clan. We of the golden dragon clan excel in nothing but also have no weakness and are in every aspect better then the average. Our defense is strong but not as strong as that of a black dragon, we are fast and nimble but not as fast and nimble as a green dragon, our attacks are ruthless but not on the level of the red dragons, we can regenerate and heal quickly but not as fast as an azure dragon and our magic is potent but not as devastating as that of a yellow dragon.
But this is not the reason why our clan is the ruling clan, no the real reason is that a golden dragon can become a paragon. A dragon that combines all the strong aspects of the other clans. To bad that expect for the patriarch we haven't been able to raise a second paragon, well my older sister and my little sister both show a great talent and thus have a shot at trying to become a paragon, I just can't stand it that it has already been decided that I don't have a chance at becoming one and I also don't get it why eldest brother Alan has just accepted that fact, it just makes me furious. Well I will show them I will complete this mission perfectly and show them my talent if if the only reason I got this mission is because oldest sister is in closed door training and my little sister is only ten years old.

As I and my squad are about to leave the den I can see a green dragon courier rushing to us whilst holding some sort of talisman.
“Third lady please wait, the elders decided to give you this group escape talisman, if you break it you will be teleported into the den, please use this carefully it takes a long time to make on of these.” -green dragon courier
“thank you anything else”
“No this was it milady, my the blood guide you.” -green dragon courier
“I will follow the will of the blood.”
After this common ritual we set of to leave the den for the first time in our lives.
“This is amazing I never knew the sky was so clear” -female companion
“I never dared to even dream of getting the chance of seeing the outside world.” -Male companion
“This is truly breathtaking but we need to get moving and find the source of this death aura.”
I give this command as I see my companions being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. Even I have a hard time controlling my emotions. Everything is full of life, color and light, this is hundreds of times better then our dimly lit caves, I would love to be able to live under this clear and warm sky.
But we need to get moving every moment counts.
“Siara can you find the origin of this miasma?”
“Please give me a moment milady,........, I got it around a two kilometers to the north.” -azure dragon Siara
“Lets get moving”
“Yes milady” -companions
The closer we get the more uncomfortable I become. We have been walking for quite some time already and I can now see dead trees and plants everywhere, I have even seen some dead animals. What kind of being would cause such mindless destruction. I have a feeling this mission is even more dangerous then the elders could have imagined.
After a minute or two we can see a lifeless plains.
“Milady this plains is the center of the death aura that engulfed the forest” -Siara
“Lets go be careful.”
Snap
“What was that.” - other female companions
“Most likely a means of detection created by this being be careful it may try to ambush us.” - male companion
“Well hello there.... I guess welcome to my plains” -???
Shit where is talking from I need to drag this conversation out so that my companions can find him. But he sure has a childish voice.
“Who are you?”
“Isn't giving your name before you ask that of someone else common etiquette, well never mind my name is William.” - William
“Well sorry for that but I will give you my name if you show yourself.”
“You sure are a demanding lady but fine.” - William
Wait he actually accepted this must be a trap. After a few moments I can see a small figure dropping out of a tree. He comes closer and stops a fifteen meters away. I can sense my companions tensing up and taking a battle posture.
“So I revealed myself so can I finally get your name” -William
“Show us your face.”
“You know this is getting annoying but fine its better then conflict.” -William
The small person trows back his hood and I can see his he actually is a child I guess that he is around the same age as my little sister. I am happy that the person in question is a child but one thing makes me worry, what are those horns and what is wrong with his eyes. I never read of anyone having golden or crimson eyes in any of the books in the library and he has both colors at the same time and that crimson one gives off such an aura of conflict, battle and bloodshed, it is really getting me worked up.
“What are you.”
“No not this time, you are annoying me pretty hard right now so tell me your name.” -William
“Milady I think you should do like he says because you have promised him to tell your name for quite some time now and we are still preparing some spells for when you want to attack” - Siara
I hope that William guy didn't hear the last part
“I am Ariel.”
“See was that so hard, and to answer your question I guess I was human but I am not entirely sure what I am right now.” - William
What kind of answer is that, I don't know what to think is he really a child or is he pretending. Should we just attack? No its to early for that, but that eye makes it look like I need to attack.
“Did you create that death aura?”
“Ah well sorry about that I was training and had no control of it until now.” - William
I did not expect him to answer, he must be lying and trying to trick us to let our guard down, that is the only explanation possible for why is is being so cooperative. Yes it must be a trick and he almost succeeded but his crimson eye is giving his true intention away. I must make the first move for our safety, I look around and see all of my companions ready for combat. Siara gives me a nod to confirm that the spells are ready.
“Capture him”
And all hell breaks lose

Monster Paradise
800 years ago, 3000 dimensional gates opened across the entire world. In that moment, it was as if 3000 different colored eyes opened across the world as hordes of monsters swarmed out of these gates like tears. Some could destroy city walls with one strike; They had bodies the size of a giant and fed on humans Some latched onto humans, absorbing their bodies’ nutrients and enslaving humans Some infiltrated the humans’ cities, disguising themselves as normal human beings while feeding upon human blood to sustain themselves. In a night, the Human race fell to the bottom of the food chain. The world had turned into a paradise for monsters…Thank you for reading updated novel Monster Paradise @ReadWebNovels.net
