《Gate keeper》Chapter 29 looking for answers
Advertisement
Yuki was startled when she realized she was no longer standing next to Setsuna. Mist seemed to be everywhere she could see her eyes were shocked because she had just remembered stepping inside the mansion.
"I see you've found me on your own." (Lin)
"Wait who are you and where'd you bring me." (Yuki)
"To be correct you called my soul here to your mental space. This place here isn't real in the outside world but it's real in your mind. Too much explaining to do short version and humans call it mind scape. Things here are how you want them. They depend on your mood. So let's see you called my soul here for answers." (Lin)
"Who are you." (Yuki)
"Hm, you know me by another name, but I prefer Lin." (Lin)
"What are you." (Yuki)
"Good question are you asking my soul or are you asking the question because your unsure of your race. You know we could talk in circle if you want these two answers." (Lin)
"Are you the one that left me her memories." (Yuki)
"Yep you can say that though I couldn't control that part. Nor the archives completely you girls have access to it, I did give it away to my lover too. But I don't know if she's using it. Being kind is a virtue Hina but at the same time it's poison. See where that led you last time." (Lin)
"I only wanted to protect Aki." (Yuki)
"Sure you did. No, your no longer Hina. Your Yuki I understand that but carrying over your past values in life in the realms to this life was what got you into this mess in the first place. Kinda ironic right. The past you not me as you the human princess Hina, listened to the god of that heaven yet look where you led yourself in this life." (Lin)
"What has that got to do with anything." (Yuki)
"You're personality is finally showing. I guess your sisterly love is the bond that holds the current you here. My only advice is that kindness and carelessness of using it then in the realms won't work here. This is like Earth but many times more dangerous since there's other races and many hidden threats. But like Earth, Iris too has a similar threat. Ghosts who possess the ability to latch and control the living as they please." (Lin)

"You're saying I should be wary of those monsters that don't even look human anymore. How are they a threat when they can't touch a physical body." (Yuki)
"They're more threats than you think. But the hidden danger I mentioned isn't them." (Lin)
"Why don't you go away." (Yuki)
"You're the one that called me here to your mind scape not the other way around. Also it'll probably be only a few seconds for you in the outside world." (Lin)
Yuki blinked as she stared at her right to see Setsuna giving her a funny look.
"Are you ok." (Setsuna)
"No fine." (Yuki)
'Aside from sealing me inside your mind scape.' (Lin)
'Oh shut it Lin, you never did answer my question about your race.' (Yuki)
'That's easy I was a human on Earth as for my soul no clue. Rem says I was abnormal cause even she couldn't tell. Plus I split so many times in those dreams. One thing I'm sure about the 4 of you is that you inherited those racial traits so you girls can change it at will.' (Lin)
(yep mc just ignored important fact that Lin threw her right there.)
"Setsuna, so what did you get from Lin after her death." (Yuki)
"Most of her knowledge, emotions and memories. How to use the archives. Her weapons storage is let's just say demonic to the point you'd have a normal human want to bang their head at all the treasures inside and the uses." (Setsuna)
'Ah I almost forgot about Ling Yue's problem when she was Blade's sister. You two might want to know this cause this might actually help you survive if you two fight her by accident.' (Lin)
Setsuna flinched when she heard Lin's voice. (She expects a dead person not to do telepathy to others.) Even Yuki straighten herself in her chair that she was sitting at the living room.
'Her heart had issues in more ways than one though she was a half demon and a goddess. It was more she couldn't feel emotions too much or else her heart would be in pain. So she kinda ripped out her heart and sealed it off. Most of the gods and goddesses labeled it as a forbidden item. You know typical but yea her expressions don't show much. Sure she could feel emotions afterwards but let's say it made her unable to express her emotions on her face.' (Lin)

Both Setsuna and Yuki cringed hearing about Ling Yue. After all Yuki was the one that asked for information about the other two but Lin only mentioned Ling Yue because they knew Hima already. That was a pointless one to ask.
"Wait so care to explain why I and you could hear the voice of the deceased Lin." (Setsuna)
Her eyes gleamed as Yuki said sorry.
"Fine ask away any questions you want now Hina." (Setsuna)
"It's Yuki. Oh never mind which ever your more comfortable using. I wanted to ask you how the heck does a freaking fallen angel turn into a devil demon in the first place." (Yuki)
"Oh that's your question. First of all I had 16 pairs of wings. Second of all I turned into a fallen angel when I killed the god of the ruling heaven. Third of all I killed the devil next which was gonna make me turn to a demon. But then I was sealed before he died, making my process of turning into a demon stalled or as humans called it in a frozen state or process. Whichever one works." (Setsuna)
Yuki eyed her why are you talking about it as if it's not your problem we're talking about you.
"Next question when you revived me as Hina from the statue you didn't seem to completely turned into a demon yet." (Yuki)
"I told you it was stalled like best way to describe it is a lag." (Setsuna)
"But when you revived Hima you turned into a devil demon there and then." (Yuki)
"It caught up to me." (Setsuna)
She wanted to retort that's not common sense. But didn't say anything because she mine she couldn't say it or Setsuna would down her with all the reasons why it was possible.
"Look so say you as Hina had 4 pairs of wings only. I had 16. I sealed them and only showed 5 pairs of wings. 12 pairs and up don't turn into a normal demon, after they turn to a fallen angel then a demon. They end up as powerful devils. Well that's if you had paid attention to the history after our last war. Oh wait you idiotic sisters died." (Setsuna)
Yuki only gave a bitter smile at Setsuna's last retort but didn't say anything. Hina did die from Setsuna's accidentally stab after Hima was revived cause she had charged her. And before that they as her sisters didn't reincarnate. To be more accurate they couldn't move on since they as sisters didn't want to leave the others behind.
"So sister care to explain about Lin." (Setsuna)
Instead Setsuna stared at her like a ferocious animal about to pounce if she answered wrong. So she had to explain from start to finish what happened earlier.
"Oh. Never mind then. Though that means we could change our race at will right." (Setsuna)
Her eyes shined like a child getting a new toy. Even Yuki couldn't help but back up into her chair as if she didn't know this person.
"Wait you said you had access to her archives and her weaponry." (Yuki)
"Uh, no. (Sarcastic) Duh you idiot." (Setsuna)
'Her meaning is obvious she's mocking you as if saying if I could then wouldn't you also sister. Are you stupid. That's where she's getting at.' (Lin)
Yuki's mouth couldn't help but twitch into a cold smile.
"Why don't we take this spar outside your spear skills against my halberd. How's that sound." (Yuki)

The Saga of the Undone One
Among the vast expanse of the realm known as the Outer Fantasy exists a group of sorcerers by the name of Changelings. They steal the memories and the very essence of normal people in order to perform a strange ritual in which they extend their lives by hundreds or even thousands of years and change their bodies to the extreme. In this devilish process most of the people used die. But a few survive. These unlucky men and women are just a hollow shells of their former selves. They are people with shattered minds and stolen memories. The brands of the ones that brought them to this miserable state are engraved in their skin and both their bodies and minds are damaged by the sorcerers. They’re pitied by some, hated by many and ignored by most. And worst of all – they’re doomed to live their remaining years in this crippled state, isolated by the rest of the world and without a way to heal their injuries, both mental and physical. But deep inside of them lies a spark of the power that the mages used to shatter their minds… The name of these miserable beings is the Undone Ones and this is the story of one of them. His name is Ehrir and in the lowest point of his seemingly unending life as an Undone One he finds the power that can change his life for the better… or worse.

Sherds
Linus falls into another world, arriving on an archipelago. This is a story about exploration, and archaeology is a major theme! Studying history and pre-history is a favorite of mine, so this is a project using my research to build a world. One of the magic systems has rpg inspired elements, but this isn't a litrpg at its core. I'm an art student and haven't written much, but I like telling stories. This is largely just for fun, my own spin on the RR other world formula. (Placeholder cover is from the Palazzo Massimo in Rome)
