《Gate keeper》Chapter 31 Setsuna's age
Advertisement
"Wait care to explain why your inside my dreams Lin." (Yuki)
"Easy I'm not the idiot that sealed a dead soul into her mind scape. Cause that'd explain a lot of things." (Lin)
Yuki flinched inside her own dream. She was having tea but she noticed Lin glaring at her so she had to ask why was Lin even inside her own dream. Embarrassed she turned bright red.
"Now all you have to do is look for your memories when you were Yuki as a child." (Lin)
It felt like the words were a stab at her heart but she knew Lin meant no harm. Rather she was reminding Yuki the fact that she was missing memories.
"Can I ask you a question." (Yuki)
"Go ahead." (Lin)
"So did you disrespect spirits or ghosts is that why they attacked you so aggressively." (Yuki)
"No. I just moved to a new house and they ruined me socially and my private life. As I mentioned before my mother was very religious. There was this one time she dissed our ancestors saying they're nothing more than demons after death, they can't do anything to the living nor can they try. Even I respect my ancestors and so I kinda felt chills running down my back. By the way that was when they had already possessed me." (Lin)
Yuki stared stunned at Lin, she opened her mouth but no word came out. A sad smile came from Lin but she knew asking won't get Lin to talk more about her life.
"I'm pretty sure I'd be more happy stuck with Ling Yue." (Lin)
"Why is that." (Yuki)
Instead she woke up startled by someone shaking her, her eyes opened to a concerned Setsuna.
"By the gods you sleep like the dead." (Setsuna)
Yuki made a wry smile as she sat up in bed.
"How do you even know how the dead even sleep." (Yuki)
"Oh don't amuse me. That was the worst time ever for me. Ugh zombies invasion 101 never investigate a ghost town inside a old kingdom even if your curious." (Setsuna)
Her eyes were dead serious but instead it made Yuki laugh so hard her sides were hurting. Even she was surprised since it felt like it was the first time since she laughed since she could remember. (That was when she and Aki were kids.)
"Sorry I didn't mean to. Just why the heck do you get curious about a ruined kingdom." (Yuki)
'Curiosity almost killed the cat.' (Lin)
Her joke almost got Yuki laughing again but she straighten herself out and got out of bed.
"I made breakfast. Well pancakes, tea and salad. If that counts as you know breakfast." (Setsuna)

"Are you sure you can cook." (Yuki)
"That's rude your asking a immortal that lived for millions of years if she could cook. Are you stupid or are you just acting." (Setsuna)
'Looks like you asked the most stupidest question yet of course a immortal would pick up a few things to survive. If she can't cook how the heck is she going to take care of herself you dumbass.' (Lin)
Seeing her embarrassed face and stiff smile Setsuna knew Lin might've lectured her.
"I kinda had nothing much to do over the centuries. Aside from amusing myself to see if I could you know die like normal people. But that was just me seeing if I was like other humans. Wait that was when I hit my 100th birthday. I stopped counting after eras go by. You know changing rulers and all that. This society is a female ruling one after all unlike Earth." (Setsuna)
Yuki had a horrified look like how can you do that to yourself. What's with the self harm? And why are you laughing it off now.
"Oh don't look at me like that I had nothing to do back then. I guess you could say I was in a rebellious age back then. I may look like 15 years old with silver hair now but it's better than my original looks. I mean it. Having a 29 year old beauty walking around the city and having people stop me like I'm a celebrity is very annoying." (Setsuna)
Instead Yuki gave her a stunned look why do you look so young and like a 15 year old who's barely showing her maturity.
"Guess you say it's thanks to me being old. I kinda experimented with the plants and ended up with a potion that helped me solve some problems." (Setsuna)
"Oh." (Yuki)
"Didn't say I had issues with my looks but just annoyed with others reacting to me. Plus I didn't do pictures so it was ok. Not as obvious I've been around. Ok I did have one or two every 100 or 200 years with some friends I made." (Setsuna)
Yuki ate her pancakes quietly without commenting on Setsuna's age.
"Lin why did you say you rather be with Ling Yue than stuck with me." (Yuki)
'Cause she isn't a soften idiot. She's a assassin. Plus she's a half goddess and half demon back then. I don't know her race now but I feel more safe with someone who can defend me than this person.' (Lin)
Yuki felt a mental stab from Lin's words, every Setsuna could read her expression. She just nodded her head in understanding.
"Sister your like a open book. Lin probably meant no harm from her words. She's just blunt. Plus being cautious is like second nature to her. Well aside from her issues in real life. She rather be with someone who knows how to use her powers than someone who unconsciously sealed her inside their mental space." (Setsuna)

She wasn't sure how to feel Setsuna had just put her down and Lin meant no harm but her bluntness kinda stung even Yuki more.
"Are you two sure you can't read each other's mind even though she's stuck with me." (Yuki)
"Nope it was written all over your face that she reprimanded you that she dislikes being stuck with you." (Setsuna)
Yuki groaned buy even she noticed Lin had been very quiet throughout the latter conversation.
'Are you thinking about something? Why are you so quiet Lin? Hello are you sleeping.' (Yuki)
'Neither of the other two Yuki. And no my matters are none of your concerns. I suggest you get things over and done with. Oh and you might want to learn some manners from Setsuna and a history lesson. Or have her teach you about this planet.' (Lin)
Her eyes went to Setsuna who was silently sipping her tea when she noticed the quiet stare from Yuki.
"Mind telling me what's with the intense stare without saying a word. Even I'm not a open book nor can I read... oh never mind. That's what you want it's simple than." (Setsuna)
'Look how easy she is to adapt to the fact she can use other races' powers and ability unlike someone here who ignored my explanations. More self harm than me warning her.' (Lin)
Setsuna watched stunned as she noted that Yuki seemed to be very tired from just listening to Lin talk to her. (Yes Setsuna used emotion reading rather than mind reading.)
"Wait why are you looking at me with pitying eyes." (Yuki)
"You're the one that sealed her with you. It's not like she has a choice in the matter you did seal her into your mind without an warning." (Setsuna)
She felt silent stabs from Setsuna's words as if neither she (Setsuna) or Lin liked what Yuki did.
"Can you not look at me like your condemning me." (Yuki)
"Oh am I." (Setsuna)
Her harden expression wasn't judging Yuki but even her expression showed that she didn't approve of Yuki sealing Lin inside her mind scape.
'Ah I might wanted to warn you two earlier but neither of you were paying attention. Ling Yue's father was the former lord of the netherworld so as we know it demon world she had her own law enforcers following her wherever she went so I don't know if she brought them along with her or not since her father did tie their lives together so if she died those people died too.' (Lin)
Both the girls went silent as they sat at the dinning table stunned at Lin dropping the huge bomb at them. This was as if informing them oh sorry she has her own private assassins and information gathering but I don't know if they're here too. Only Setsuna knew how scary Ling Yue was from Lin's memories and she shivered remembering those enforcers now that Lin brought it up. Rather these memories were the ones she was avoiding. As for Yuki she was avoiding it by putting all the memories at the back of her head. She wasn't even trying to access the archives either.
Which left Lin disappointed, cause if it was a normal person they would actually go through the memories to make sense of things and use the archives for answers.
"That reminds me you still owe me a spar, my halberd against your spear." (Yuki)
Setsuna rolled her eyes at Yuki. Is she really going there.
'Asking a immortal to fight with you on your halberd skills. I had 2 millions of years to practice all sorts of weapons and your asking me to fight you are you a idiot.' (Setsuna)
Her was condemning Yuki as if saying are you stupid.
"For your information I was alive during the ice age. This would mean I've been alive for a long time in human society. Don't challenge me for something so stupid. We don't want to see you dead. But I can tell you about historical events and lessons." (Setsuna)
Yuki blinked at Setsuna shocked that she didn't know what to say.
"Cause if I was alive 6 millions of years ago that'd mean apes and I want nothing to look like those things." (Setsuna)
Rem who was listening outside Setsuna's backyard window let out a soft laugh. Even she knew Setsuna didn't wish to be born in that era as she was a immortal. Still looking like that in this society would be a embarrassment to the beauty herself.
'Well aren't you glad I didn't reincarnate you to that time period.' (Rem)
She left after leaving loud laughter shocking even Yuki and Setsuna. Yuki still got out her halberd and walked into the front door. Setsuna sighed, her sister was asking for something she didn't even want. As soon as she stepped out the door she side stepped Yuki's stab to her ribs. Yuki was stunned when she saw how Setsuna gracefully side stepped to her left. It was almost like Setsuna was stepping on clouds.

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz

Hardcore OP-ness
Most people pray for good health, a loving family, and to win the lottery. I asked “Can you send me to a game-like fantasy-style world? It can't be too unrealistic, but also, it would be nice if I was immortal to some degree. Oh yea, no rape or slavery either, cause then I'll have to spend the whole time trying to create a perfect society, and I'd rather not have to deal with all that nonsense. No other players either, cause that always creates a ton of annoying drama, and I just want to have a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable time.â€Three years later, after I had completely forgotten about all that… well, better late than never I suppose. The moral of this story, is to be careful what you wish for; also, cuteness is justice, so don't complain if adorable bunnies beat you to death and devour your corpse.(Warning: This story includes profanity, numbers, humanity, nudity, uncomfortable realism in a fantasy-world, awkward but mild sexual-content, descriptive violence and gore, nekomimi, necrophilia, bizarre and disturbing sexual-content, offensive language, plus all of the other things that disclaimers usually have to tell you about. Do not read this if you dislike transportation, virtual reality, fantasy, or other similar genres… or me, because I'm the author.)I'm only posting a few chapters on this site, but there are over 100 on my wordpress. https://mike777ac.wordpress.com/hardcore-op-ness/
