{To every man there is a God, to every demon—a machine, to every elf—treasures but to the gnomes there is none. Mention our links.}'What the—what kind of fucking question is this? Is this even a riddle?!' Dina exclaimed internally.Four races, four marks and they were to find a link? How?Genad was silent, he seemed deep in thought as if trying to find a clue in the strange riddle, after all in every riddle the answer was always staring at one so blatantly and what one needed was just to find it.... that was when it clicked!Four races, four marks, and a link but why four? Where was the fifth? Where were the angels? A link... how were the angels linked to all this? It was simple!Over the years the angels could be stated to be the dominating race, in fact, they might as well be called the main rulers of Styr kingdom during these years. They tied the humans down with an illusion of worship to them as 'the servants of the ancient god', the elves they had blinded with treasures, effortl
"Dinner is ready so I can't get why you're so... stunned? Everyone is here already and we're all waiting for you so come on babe, buckle up let's go!" Annabelle stated while literally dragging Dina from the bed.'Even though it's an illusion, it looks and acts exactly like how Annabelle did in my memories. So this is the power of magic?' Dina thought with a daze as Annabelle dragged her away only for her to suddenly stop, causing Dina to bump abruptly to her back."What's up, girl? Your face looks so gloomy, is there a problem?" Annabelle asked worriedly but all Dina could look at was the ticking time. It had gone down to 8 minutes and was slowly receding.She had to hurry! But what did it mean to find her partner? Maybe the dinner could tell her? Then she had to hurry there immediately, not only was she stuck in here as her real self, but she also couldn't get to Zero for some damn reason.Everything about this place was dangerous to her and she had to quickly get out and even a fake
“Where….?” a purple-haired boy of about nine muttered as he swirled about in the deserted plane. He soon looked up to find a huge crowd before him and running up to the crowd he found himself shoving his way through.What was happening? Where was he? Where was Dad?The little boy after managing to manoeuvre his way through the crowd looked up and saw what made his heart drop. His father was being held up a cross on the pavilion by an executioner who stood with an axe beside him, ready to give him the worst execution yet.Subconsciously, the name of the punishment popped into his mind— Butchering scales. It was a horrible torture technique that involved scraping one's scales over and over again until they could no longer regenerate. Keeping in mind that the demons had one of the most powerful regenerating abilities and were very tenacious this was a very disgusting technique.It was a torture that could last for days continually without a single moment of rest depending on the demon’s
Dina opened her eyes to the familiar white space and was met with the worried Paws licking her all over. However, everything was not over yet as the next instant, she heard Zero warn her loudly.‘Dina! Be careful!’A huge wave of mental energy attacked her immediately and without thinking she screamed—“REBOUND!!”The wave was a wide-range attack and had also affected Paws who staggered about preventing him from seeing the form Dina had now taken.She was still Feral but the with a change that would have undoubtedly left both Paws and Genad bewildered if they had seen it. As she sat down with her left foot up and her right down and bent to the left, her lowered eyes slowly fluttered open revealing an astonishing sight.Unlike its usual brown color, each pupil now possessed a different color, one was a frosty blue that seemed to freeze over any existence at a mere glance and the other was a shimmering gold so beautiful and lovely that it was capable of charming all just with its presen
“Hm…” Feral groaned slightly as he stirred and on opening his eyes saw a white and gold panda with a pair of red jewel eyes cuddling right on top of him.Instantly reacting, Feral flipped the guardian away before stumbling up to a fighting stance as he vigilantly glared.Just then, Genad came in holding a bowl and raised a brow at the protective stance Feral had taken. Was he frightened? How cute./Awemeter increased to 72%/‘Seventy-pfft!’ Dina yelped in shock. Just what the hell had happened after she was woken up? When did the awemeter increase to 72%?!“Come sit,” Genad quietly spoke while patting at the bed Feral had just woken up from, his actions were so generous when compared to his previous prick attitude that Dina raised her brows in suspicion, could it be because of how high the meter was?‘Zero?’“Yes?” Zero responded, immediately calming Dina’s heart, at least he was here.“Why is he so nice?” Dina wondered suspiciously, this sudden change in attitude was… odd.“It seems
Over the days, the trio relaxed in the demon realm. Before settling they had been on a constant move without a single break from the elven realm to the human realm and then to the gnomes' ruins and now they were actually taking a break Dina couldn't help but sigh in relief.They were in a medium-sized cottage, in a small fenced area of land deep within a gigantic forest that seemed to never end and was filled with a few docile beasts, which was strange until Dina learned that this was actually where Genad's dad had stayed before and he might have killed a bit too many beasts which explained the forest's scantiness.In their backyard was a small farmland that contained lots of vegetables and fruits, all of which were relatively new to Dina.Out of all the weird veggies, the one she immediately spotted was the yellow comb-like vegetable that hung freely on the greenish stalk. However, unlike the corn which Dina knew back home, it had only the color purple and pink and when eaten raw had
“What’s going on?” Genad asked as he walked into the tiny house where the duo was stuffing their face up.Feral immediately froze up while Paws simply kept on stuffing his face in and facing Genad he said softly, “I’m cooking.”With the help of Zero, Dina learned about how the childhood Genad always had homemade meals prepared by his father before his death, which was why she had taken her time to do all this. Her main goal was to raise that meter no matter how, and what better way to awe a person than with delicious food?Although her main reason was mostly that she wanted to try various recipes on seeing such a plentiful garden, but then again, who wouldn’t?!“…. you can cook?” Genad asked incredulously, it was rare seeing a male who could cook, let alone do it well, and with how good the kitchen smelled, he could guess that Feral checked out both requirements.“Yeah, wanna have a bite?” Feral asked while raising up the wooden spoon filled with soup, she had made a simple three-cour
Feral eyes snapped open and with a gasp, he stood up only to be dragged back down by a strong, firm hold which scooped him into an intimate cuddling.‘What? What? What?!’ Dina exclaimed in her mind, what the heck! How did they end up in this position? Was it Genad?It could also be her… after all from her last world, Jack may or may not have made her cultivate the habit of cuddling him to sleep and muttering sweet nothings to him… in a totally justified friendly way!Of course that was before she lost her memories and everything went spiraling down…Either way, she was up and had to make breakfast for the family; a simple sweet potato salad with some roasted corn and some fried plantain with fruits for dessert would be nice.It was an odd combination but she suddenly had the craving so who dared to stop her?!Well, maybe the firm hand imprisoning her. She so wanted to leave, breakfast must be an early thing ah! She was already hungry and would appreciate being left to make something t
