It’s been two months since the dragon attack and right now, I’m sitting in the ruin of some city within the forest.

I’m currently eating a sandwich that I wished for, double bacon with egg. It’s delicious~.

Until I heard a voice!

[“That sandwich looks delicious… too bad he can’t see me”] (???)

“Huh!? Who’s there? Do you want my sandwich, if you do, you’re not getting it!” (Vincent)

I said, cradling the sandwich in my arms… IT’S MINE!

[“You can hear me!?”] (???)

He asked, shocked.

“Yeah… why shouldn’t I? AND YOU’RE NOT GETTING MY SANDWICH!!!” (Vincent)

I shouted.

[“Oh… uh, well… pleasure to meet you, I’m Warren Black… a phantom”] (Warren)

(A/N: I have been given permission by the author of WGO ImaginexBreaker, to use this character, since he wouldn’t use him… I ASKED HIM TO, SO MANY TIMES BUT HE SAID NO! So, I’m adding him to my book… showing him what he missed out on XD HAHAHA)

Warren said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, in front of me.

“Gah!... Pleasure to meet you Warren… I’m Vincent Heflin, I hope we can be good friends… if you don’t try to take my sandwich!” (Vincent)

I said, pouting slightly as I was still protecting my precious food! But, I extended my hand, hoping he’d shake it.

[“Hahaha, I think this is the beginning of a long friendship!”] (Warren)

Warren said, shaking my hand.

“So, let’s go!” (Vincent)

I said as I began to walk towards the general direction of Yggdrasil… I think… I will admit it, I’m lost, and too stubborn to teleport!

[“About that…”] (Warren)

Warren said, causing me to stop.

“What?” (Vincent)

[“Something is tying me to this place… an orb, I can’t break it and none of the past adventurers would either, they said that even if it was valuable, they’d be arrested if they broke it… I don’t know why… I can lead you to it, so you can break it!”] (Warren)

Warren said, already walking towards the orb.

“The fuck is this? Appraisal!” (Vincent)

I said, surprised by the weird red orb in front of me.

Dungeon core

Rank: E

The lowest level of dungeon cores, it can summon one living being that will try to kill any intruders in the dungeon.

“Oh, it’s a dungeon core… aaand, it’s broken!” (Vincent)

I said, as I picked the dungeon core up and threw it against a wall, causing it to break apart… like glass.

[“I’m… free… oh my god, I’m free! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I’ll do anything you want!!! Anything!!!”] (Warren)

Warren said, dramatically.

“Be my friend” (Vincent)

I said, extending my arm to him.

[“Okay… my first friend… this is kinda cool, dude, you got anywhere to live or something?”] (Warren)

He asked, as he grabbed my hand and we shook hands.

“Yeah… Yggdrasil, I’m just lost… teehee~” (Vincent)

I said, laughing slightly.

[“Yg… Yggdrasil!!! Oh my god, that’s amazing!!! You live in the world tree!”] (Warren)

Warren shouted, happily.

“Yeah, now… let’s go in… the general direction of Yggdrasil, and… let me just finish my sandwich” (Vincent)

I said, sitting back down… and eating my sandwich.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took around an hour, but we made it back to Yggdrasil.

“Hello everyone, I would like to introduce our new friend, Warren!” (Vincent)

I said as I walked into Yggdrasil, and I gestured toward Warren.

[“Hello everyone!”] (Warren)

…

Why is everyone looking at me, like I’m crazy?

“...Vincent… there isn’t anyone there…” (Grenov)

Grenov said, confused.

“No, he’s here… he’s a phantom, only certain people can see him! He was trapped in a dungeon!” (Vincent)

I said, angrily.

[“Yeah!”] (Warren)

Warren said, supporting me.

“Sir… I can see him… and hear him, I think what he’s saying is true…” (Elf)

An elf said, and soon a few elves started telling Grenov that they saw the phantom Warren.

“I also see him” (Elf)

“Me too” (Elf)

“I don’t see him, but I believe that he’s there!” (Elf)

Some random elves said.

And some other elves just didn’t believe.

“If I don’t see it, I don’t believe it!!!” (Elf)

“This is probably just some sort of joke!” (Elf)

“I think Sir Vincent and our brothers and sisters have gone mad! We should give them some proper medical treatment!” (Elf)

“Just lock them in a cell… it’ll sort itself in time!” (Elf)

…

These guys are sort of pricks…

“I assure you, I’m not insane… Warren… do you have any abilities?” (Vincent)

I asked Warren, and he replied.

[“Two… one of them is a flash of red lightning… but, it’s really weak and could just kill a mosquito… The other one is, just shadow slaves… basically, I enslave a dying enemies shadow… but, it only has half of its prior strength”] (Warren)

Warren said.

“Okay, use the red lightning…” (Vincent)

Right as I said that, a flash of red lightning hit me… causing a whopping zero points of damage!

'Hold up... isn't that lightning similar to gods?' (Thoughts)

I thought.

“...See, he’s real!” (Vincent)

I said, happily.

And an elf replied with:

“And, who said that you didn’t just wish for that to happen!?” (Elf)

And to that, I replied with:

“Okay, I’ll go right in front of you, and keep my mouth shut… then it will happen again!” (Vincent)

I said, walking in front of the elf and, Warren used his red lightning again… he hit me again… is he purposely hitting me, trying to hurt me!?

“Okay… his friend Warren is real… what race is he?” (Elf)

The elf asked.

“Phantom… I think” (Vincent)

I said, unsure if I heard him right earlier.

[“You’re right, it’s Phantom… we’re a relatively unknown race of shadow people”] (Warren)

Warren said, proudly.

“I… I see him!!!” (Elf)

“I do too!” (Elf)

A couple of elves said as they saw a blurry figure near them.

[“Oh, it seems like the elves here are becoming accustomed to the idea of me… this is amazing, to be able to be seen by so many! And I can have so many conversations! Thanks, Vincent!”] (Warren)

Warren said, happily.

“What’s going on? Why is there a… shadow person… here?” (Alex)

Alex, who just woke up asked.

…

All of my friends are asleep, they deserve the sleep after defending the village every night!

“Oh, this is Warren… our new friend!” (Vincent)

I said, cheerfully.

[“Hello there, I’m Warren Black… a Phantom, pleasure to meet you”] (Warren)

Warren said, forcefully shaking Alex’ hand.

“Oh um, pleasure to meet you too Warren, I’m Alex… Alexander Vitrulion” (Alex)

Alex said, awkwardly.

“What’s up with the racket?” (Ratel)

“Yeah!?” (Mason)

Mason and Ratel woke up, slightly grumpy.

“We made a new friend, his name’s Warren Black… -sigh- I’m already sick of introducing you dude…” (Vincent)

[“Yeah me too… hi, I’m Warren Black, a Phantom, a pleasure to meet you”] (Warren)

Warren said, forcefully shaking both of their hands.

“Ratel Gobstick, nice to meet you…” (Ratel)

Ratel replied, slightly annoyed.

“Mason Gobstick, Ratel’s younger brother… a pleasure to meet you Warren” (Mason)

Mason replied, happily.

“Why is everyone so loud!?” (Ren)

Ren, who just woke up, shouted.

‘Says the person whose shout probably broke a few glasses’ (Thoughts)

“This is Warren” (Vincent)

“Oh, milord, a pleasure to see you today… wait, who’s this?” (Ren)

Ren said, ignoring what I just said…

[“I’m Warren Black like he just said… I’m a Phantom, pleasure to meet you”] (Warren)

Warren said as he was not so subtly staring at her breasts.

“Oh, I’m Ren Gravestone, pleasure to meet you” (Ren)

Ren said politely… but, we all knew that she was angry… not at Warren, but at Ratel and Mason for waking her up.

“Okay, so… the meetings are done, let’s hunt!” (Vincent)

I said, walking out of the world tree with Alex, Ren, Ratel, Mason, and Warren.

I saw some Werebears and Squidmen guarding the outside of the world tree, with a few gigantic spiders on the tree.

“Time for the thrill of the hunt!” (Vincent)

I said happily.

[“This will be fun!”] (Warren)

Warren said, excitedly.

[“Vincent is it okay if before you kill the monsters, I make them my shadow slaves, it’ll be helpful in the long run, especially if I run into any danger”] (Warren)

Warren asked, politely.

“Sure” (Vincent)

I replied.

[“Thanks”] (Warren)

All in all, it was an amazing hunt, that lasted for… a week.

[“I have so many shadow slaves now! They’re an extremely powerful army! Thanks, Vincent”] (Warren)

Warren said, with a gigantic smile on his face.

“You’re welcome Warren, and we got the meat and alchemy materials, okay then, let’s go back” (Vincent)

I said as I teleported all of us back to the world tree Yggdrasil.

[“... You could teleport…”] (Warren)

Warren said, in a monotone voice.

“Yeah, why?” (Vincent)

I replied.

[“So, when you got lost in the forest… you could have just teleported back, why didn’t you?”] (Warren)

He asked, curious.

“I didn’t want to!” (Vincent)

I said, quickly.

[“IT TOOK US AN HOUR TO FIND THE WORLD TREE!!!”] (Warren)

All of a sudden, Warren yelled at me in anger.

“Dude, sorry… just chill out… it’s okay man…” (Vincent)

I said, trying to calm him down.

…

…

…

And, it worked.

[“Okay… sorry, I guess I’m just annoyed at the fact that, you could teleport back, but you didn’t”] (Warren)

“Yeah, he can be a bit of an idiot sometimes -sigh-” (Ren)

Ren sighed.

“I’m not an idiot, I just CHOSE not to teleport…” (Vincent)

I said, pouting.

[“Well, you’re an idiot!”] (Warren)

Warren said while he was chuckling a little bit.

“Well, you have no physical form!!!” (Vincent)

I retorted.

[“Dude… that’s pretty offensive…”] (Warren)

Warren said, looking offended.

“Oh… I’m sorry!” (Vincent)

I said, suddenly.

[“Pfft... hahahahaha, dude I was just kidding, I know that I have no physical form! And how is it offensive to point out the obvious!?”] (Warren)

Warren laughed.

“Yeah, like how you’re black! Hahahahaha” (Vincent)

…

…

…

[“Okay, now THAT was pretty offensive!”] (Warren)

Warren said, angrily.

“Oh… fuck, shit… but I was stating the obvious… oh OH!!! Shit man, sorry!” (Vincent)

I said, just noticing how… offensive it sounded.

[“It’s okay… I’m not even of African-american descent… I think, so, why should I even be offended by you calling me black?”] (Warren)

Warren asked.

“Wait, you don’t know if you’re of African-american descent?” (Vincent)

I asked, confused.

[“-sigh-, Yeah… I may have forgotten to tell you… I have amnesia… I don’t remember anything about my family… friends or lovers… do you know how it feels to know that you don’t know something, but you can never EVER know it!?”] (Warren)

Warren asked… all of us.

“No…” (Vincent)

I said.

“Nope” (Ren)

Ren said.

“Nuh uh” (Ratel)

Ratel said.

“Actually… I… -sigh- no” (Mason)

Mason said.

“Nope… sorry man, but we don’t know what you’re feeling” (Alex)

Alex said.

[“Oh, okay… so, why don’t you take the meat out of your inventory, and give it to Grenov”] (Warren)

Warren said optimistically.

“Oh, right” (Vincent)

I said as I took all of the meat out of the inventory, along with the ingredients for alchemy, such as. Slime, Scorpio claw… pincers?, Spider webs and other stuff.

“Oh, magnificent! We can make quite a lot of items out of these, we could use these for some potions… these for clothing and armor… weapons… that would make a decent aphrodisiac… I should save that for a rainy day… Melinda hasn’t been that happy with our sex-life lately...” (Grenov)

Grenov started mumbling to himself… all I heard was “Aphrodisiac” and “Sex-life” and I think I heard “Melinda”... okay, so… I’m gonna repress that thought!

“Okay, so… Grenov, are your soldiers accustomed to the tank and guns?” (Vincent)

I asked.

“Yes, they’re good… but not as good as your friend Alex… if he could show our men and women a few things, I would be incredibly thankful” (Grenov)

Grenov said, smiling.

“-sigh- Alex, show Grenov’s troops a thing or two about their weapons” (Vincent)

I commanded Alex.

“Yes, sir!” (Alex)

Alex saluted and jogged toward the shooting range.

“Vincent, I have noticed… your new friend Warren seems to have grown stronger” (Grenov)

Grenov said, enthusiastically.

“Really? Let me check… Appraisal” (Vincent)

As I said that, Warren’s status showed up.

Name: Warren Black

Oh, he’s a D-ranker!... his traits are pretty interesting…

“Looks like he recently ranked up… well I think he did” (Vincent)

I said.

“Well, that’s good… does he have any other abilities or traits?” (Grenov)

Grenov asked.

“Infiltrator, Ambassador and… Amnesiac… so, he wasn’t lying about that” (Vincent)

I mumbled to myself near the end.

“Okay… thanks, now I’m going to check on the soldiers at the shooting range, see how they’re doing” (Grenov)

Grenov said sounding TOTALLY suspicious.

Then, I saw him grab some slime and a few… weird plants, I used appraisal on all of them and… it turns out, they’re all ingredients for an aphrodisiac... god bless that elf!

…

What to do now… fuck it, I’m gonna see if I can make some armor for myself and the others!

…

---------------------------------------

It took me… a couple of days, but I’ve finally finished making the armor, now to see what rank it is with Appraisal.

Monster hunter’s armor

Rank: B

Made from the bones of various monsters and the hide of various different monsters.

Rank B isn’t bad! Not bad at all!

“Hey guys, I’ve finished with the armor!” (Vincent)

As I yelled, Ren, Ratel, Mason, Alex, and Warren… suddenly appeared.

“So, this is the armor you were working on? It looks good, milord!” (Ren)

Ren said as she tried on her armor.

I personally customized them for each person, Ren’s armor was mostly made of the bones of Werebears and Scorpios… it looked awesome! Especially with the hide of the horned wolves and horned tigers, making a greyish orange colour.

“Hey, this looks really good!” (Ratel)

Ratel said as he tried his armor on.

It was made completely of bones, of Ogres, Oni, Cyclops’ and Sharkmen. It had some of my… design on it, as I added two shark fins on the shoulders, after sharpening them… making some shoulder blades… and I made some claws on his bone gloves.

“This looks amazing!” (Mason)

Mason said, trying on his robe.

I didn’t make him any armor, he requested that I made him a robe.

It’s made of mostly Horned wolf and Horned rabbit hide… and some other hides.

I appraised it and this came up:

Monster Hunter’s robe

Rank: C

A simple robe made of various monster hides.

Rank C isn’t bad either.

“This looks awesome!” (Alex)

Alex said as he put his armor on.

It was made of mostly Oni bones and Cyclops skin… with some other hides and bones mixed in.

Now, onto Warren’s armor… he didn’t get any, but I made his favorite shadow slave “Shara” some armor… Shara’s the wyvern we killed… so, it was hard to make armor for her… but, I did it! And… yeah, that what took me the most time.

“Kuuu” (Shara)

Shara… said.

[“Shara said thank you, for the lovely armor”] (Warren)

Oh thank god, he can understand his shadow slaves!

…

Now, onto my armor.

Completely made from Shara the wyvern’s corpse.

The… frame is made of the bones and the rest is all from her… skin?

Basically, I just look badass, and it’s very good!

“Guys, look at me… I look like a badass!” (Vincent)

I said, happily.

“Pfft!” (Elf)

A random elf, almost burst out laughing.

…

What’s wrong with this?

Oh god!

I stepped into some monster shit!

Ew, gross!

…

I fell…

Into more shit…

This is so embarrassing.

“Here, let me help you up!” (Grenov)

Grenov said, pulling me up.

“Thanks, Grenov” (Vincent)

I said, truly thankful.

“Now, how about we wash that armor of yours… you know what, you should also have a shower!” (Grenov)

Grenov said as he got me out of the armor.

…

Also, we have showers! Yay for steampunk… dwarven technology!!!

“Aaah~ this is the best!” (Vincent)

I said to myself, in the shower… until I heard something in the distance.

*DUM* *DUM* *DUM* *DUM*

Is that the sound of… war drums? Oh god, we’re under attack!

-----

The end XD.
