LOGIN"Just let me hold you for a while, please," he said after setting me back down. This time, he laid me in the middle of the bed before sliding in next to me. "What if this was really me? Not a dream version of Lucy but the real thing?" I asked. He reached his hand across to me, pulling my hair behind my ear before pulling me closer to his body. "Well, in real life, you probably would have slapped me for doing this," he said, making us both laugh. Little did he know. After I witnessed my mom's murder, I fled my pack to search for a freedom I knew may never exist. I dreaded the day I would turn 18 as I never wanted a mate bond after the horror I had lived through. After years of being sold as a slave, I found myself belonging to a new pack once again. And then, I turned 18. I found not just one but two mates along with untapped power that I have no idea how to manage. ***TRIGGER WARNING - SA AND PHYSICAL ABUSE MENTIONED THROUGHOUT STORY***
View MoreI lost all my senses as I was enveloped in the terrifying darkness. I felt as if I was separated from everything I had a connection with, the material world, my senses.
Trying to remember what happened to me, but all I could remember was that I died and found myself in a strange place before everything became filled with darkness.
Yes, I remember one more thing. The voice I heard before being enveloped in darkness was saying something about some system activating.
While I was dwelling in these thoughts, sounds began to come in from all directions and just as it reaches me, I hear a voice.
[System Activation Successful]
[Status]
[Level:1]
Is this what I think it is.....
[Stats]
HP: 50
DEF: 15
ATK: 9
[Other stats are locked]
Holy shit! So if I am correct, I just got reincarnated into some world with a system. Does this mean I am some hero with OP skills like in those novels I read!?
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw*; Sprint*; Play dead*]
...
Forget what I said, what kind of skills are these!! Where is my dark magic or my destruction magic or at least a teleport ability?
[Species: Newborn Imp]
...
Ha.
Haaaaaaa.
What is this you stupid system?! Imp? That ugly mob-like thing in every game I played? And not just any Imp, a newborn Imp? What did I do in my past life to deserve this? Is it because I was cruel to my girlfriend? That can't be, I didn't even have one!
[Available Stat point:1 Available Skill point: 1]
[The System will lead you to Supremacy]
Supremacy? Supremacy your father! You stupid system! You can't even hear me, can you?
Sigh... I don't even have a choice. Since that's the case, let's see how this Imp looks like or actually how I look like. Those ugly bony legs have only three ugly nails or claws, two ugly hands have three claws like the legs, and the ugly face I can tell just by its appearance even though I can't see it.
Now, what in the world am I supposed to do now? I probably need to survive right? I don't even know anything about Imps. Did I kill so many Imps in the game that I got reborn as one?
Who am I even complaining to? No longer a human, now an Imp. FINE! I love my ugly face.
I should actually question why I am here in this place but if I keep on wasting time, I won't survive long. Years of reading fantasy novels will finally be put into good use!
First, I may as well find out where I am currently. The thing I noticed first is that my vision feels like it is obstructed by something. I can't see much at all, and the place appears to be dark.
I don't know what abilities an Imp has, can I check this somehow? Status?
[Species: Newborn Imp]
HP:50 DEF: 15 ATK:9
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw*; Sprint*; Play dead*]
Newborn Imp huh...
[Newborn Imp: The newly formed lifeform of the race, Lesser Imp. Have great skills in tricking other lifeforms]
WHOA! What a surprise. I hadn't expected it to happen. Yet that provides no useful information. Then maybe I should just explore the area where I am at the moment.
With hesitant yet eager steps, I began to move towards the direction the light was coming from. My surroundings make me feel dwarfed in comparison with myself. I can't even see the ceiling of this damn place.
It sounds like something is happening. The sound is similar to the crunching noise you hear when eating fried chicken or something similar. My attention quickly shifts to where the sound comes from and I see it.
A creature that looks too much like me lies on the ground, its hands and legs being crunched on by a mysterious entity that I can't recall anything about.
In the meantime, the predator snaps its jaws several times as it crunches the imp into pieces.
Nope.
I am outta here.
There stood a wolf-like creature in front of me, but it was much larger and scarier than it appeared from what I recall. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to notice me. Right now, the best thing I can do is.... run for my life!
My apologies, my friend! You'll always be in my mind for your ugly face!
As I stumble and become accustomed to my new body, I rush in the direction from which I came. Don't look back! IMMEDIATELY!
In my frantic escape from one of those beasts, I came across three at the same time. This place must be the hideout of these beasts. Above that this time, they noticed me. The momentum I am riding causes me to stop too quickly, resulting in me falling to the floor. What a shame I can't see clearly! There is a way for me to escape, but I am unsure whether it will work.
Damn it, I'll just have to try!
PLAY DEAD!!
[Play Dead: Stops all movement and emit a foul smell that monsters avoid]
I hope this works!
[Gained skill proficiency: Play dead(C)>>> Play Dead (Uncommon)]
Following the trail I left behind, the three beasts came close to me. I waited in silence, frightened out of my mind and hoping they would ignore me. I was about inches from them, and they immediately retreated, a foul odour striking their sensitive noses as they retreated.
Howl!! Roaring they backed away.
It Worked!! Holy...Now I just have to wait for them to get away from me. I guess the skill does not have much effect as it is low levelled. But as long as they don't come after me, I'll be fine.
A little while later, I think the three beasts had disappeared out of my sight.
I have to find somewhere to hide and gather my thoughts. If I can't find one then I have to make one. These ugly claws of mine still have some uses. In an isolated corner of the landscape, I decided to build a shelter.
With that, I put force in my hands and dig without rest until I carve out a small space where I can fit in. I don't know if I accomplished anything, but staying inside here made me feel safer than wandering blindly through this place. Basically, if any monsters were blocking the entrance, I would not be able to escape unless I dug my way through the ground.
Sitting inside my dark hole, I begin to ponder my circumstances.
Those wolflike beasts that I saw are certainly not the ones that exist on earth. That is some ridiculous nonsense right here.
A little help or guidance? You stupid system?
Of course not!
Let's just check out what I can do with the system then.
Skills! Skills!?? Huh, why isn't it working?
Status?
[Species: Newborn Imp]
HP: 50 DEF: 15 ATK: 9
[Skills: Scavenging*; Iron claw*; Sprint*; Play dead*]
So I have to open the status first. Let's check out the skills I have. Scavenging? Do I have to feed on someone else's remains? Seriously?
[Scavenging: Ability to absorb every little essence from dead bodies]
What? Essence? What is that supposed to be?
[Essence: Energy required to upgrade the existing body parts or upgrade to a higher class being]
[Higher the rank of essence more options of evolution will be available]
[Essence ranks:???>???>???>???>Grade 4 essence> Grade 3 essence> Grade 2 Essence>Ordinary essence]
What is all this shit? So this skill allows me to get stronger! Finally, I have an idea of what I need to do.
Let's check the next skill.
[Iron claws: Enhanced the strength of your claws increasing damage by 20%]
An attack type skill... This is probably the only skill I have to defend and hunt based on the names of the skill. And the next skill is most likely a movement skill.
[Sprint: increase movement speed by 15%]
Bingo! Well, it wasn't that hard. I am a genius anyway.
The final question is how do I spend my stat points and skill points? I remember that I had one of each.
[Would you like to spend your points?]
Easy as pie. HAHAHAHAHA I am so smart. How is it possible for someone else to do this as easily as I can?
[Skill points: 1 Stat points: 1 Essence: 0]
[You can use skill points to upgrade your current skills or buy new ones]
[You can use stat points to strengthen your current stats or unlock new stats]
[You can use essence points to upgrade the current form or evolve to a new one]
AMAZING!! So you mean not only can I upgrade my skills I can buy new ones??!!
Basically, so long as I have skill points, I can be a monster!
Unlock new stats... Hmm, that's interesting, what stats do I need actually?
Let's see what stats I can get first.....
Screech!!! Screech!!
There is a sound similar to something being dragged. Throughout the area thumping noises filled the air, and I could sense the ground vibrating.
Gulp...this doesn't sound good to me.
I carefully came out of my hole to see what it was and I saw it.
+Don't worry, this was free to open!!+I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who followed along with this story. It took a great deal of time to plot, plan, and execute—far more time than I had expected, but I enjoyed it immensely.I learned a lot from this first web novel and feel more prepared for my next one. My goal for the next book is to post one chapter every day at a minimum, aside from possibly a few weekends here and there.This requires me to plan ahead, prepare chapters in advance, and be prepared for any emergencies or last-minute things. However, I realize how important it is for readers to know when to expect more chapters rather than having to guess or check in, and for that, I'm sorry. I do know it happened often at the end of this book but was not intentional.Life has been pretty hard the last several months. Writing has always been something that takes me away from the noise, so I just want to say thank you again for making it even more worthwhile and hel
Lucy:I couldn't help but smile internally as Nia and Jax played.I could feel his soul healing. Slowly, but it was healing nonetheless.'You can't kill our mates. That won't make us team with you. It will only create more resentment,' Nia whispers, cuddled up next to Jax.Nia remembers; therefore, I also remember. I remember her pain when they were murdered. I remember the pain her mother felt, a prior Silver Throne Queen, the one in the memory I spent so long trying to understand.I remember the pain she could feel through her bond with Davi.The suffering. The start of what would be considered dark times for the Fae species.An action that caused us to go underground. Fear rippled through our communities as the recognition of our power and abilities became clearer to other species.And then- a promise forged from empathy and understanding.An Alpha, all too familiar with the loss of a child, stepped forward to bear the weight of what his kind had done—the original Alpha of the Cres
Lucy:Memories are like small treasures that can never be replaced with money. They can't be bought or curated.Stolen. Yes. Something we had all learned the hard way.I knew that Nia was special. It was always obvious.She was highly intelligent, despite the fact that I often didn't want to listen to her at first.A product of loss, confusion, grief, and overall naivety.A young girl thrown into the reality of the world. The harshest realities.The kind that makes you or breaks you. Looking back now, I realize that I actively let it break me because loneliness is its own kind of friend.It doesn't comfort you, but it also doesn't hurt you. It doesn't inflict pain with words or fists. It cuddles you and whispers that you're enough, but only in the darkness, only when you're alone.It had curled around me, trying to become me, but I was never meant to be alone.And as nature often does, it unfolded within itself, revealing the truth and pushing me towards a reality I needed to face.
Lucy:The Silver was like an allusion. Maybe it was meant to scare the werewolves away.Silver is feared among werewolves, by nature, something I was never familiar with.Something that, in my nature, was welcomed and celebrated.The water beneath the lake was rich in color. Blues, purples, pinks, and greens.Each color swirled within another, mixing and mingling like the sky above, but it wasn't just that that took my breath away; it was something much bigger.I swam further down into the waters, thinking of nothing other than the destination ahead.'You'll need help,' I hear Rosie's voice in my head.The connection I laid out for us is still prominent.As I look around, I see nothing but seaweed and other plants beneath me.'I can't hold my breath much longer,' I explain to her, even though it's clear that she's aware.'I know, I'm almost there. Hold on,' her voice is soft like it's always been, but there's more life in her than before.I continue to swim forward when I catch a glim
