All I could do is bear with the pain that I had never experienced before, it feels like my body is being burned and freezes and electrified at the same time.
The overwhelming agony I have to undergo made all my senses alert as it skinned me deep within the pitch…
For how long must I endure this? For how long will this soreness, anguish and ache keep on like this?!
For along longtime… it kept repeating over and over and over again…
At first I panicked, then I lost my will, then I begged and called for help, then I struggled to stay awake in order to not perish.
Then in the midst of all that pain… it gradually stopped… it felt like I reached the heaven graced by the divine mercy!
I could finally close an eye in the darkness and relax for a bit… I let out a sig, relieved that I am finally free from the grasp of that hellish pain that I had to endure for so long!
It feels now good! Like if I finally reached an oasis after year… no, decades of wandering and search in an endless desert under the scorching sun, the freezing night, the sand storms and the wild animals! Or something of the sort... I think?
Suddenly the voice that I have heard long ago just before the pain started…began resonating within the abyss. But this time… it spoke a lot.
{Notice, first step of the character creation, successfully completed! Initializing the second step}
{Notice, preparation for the reception of the fragment, access acquired, preparation completed}
{Notice, starting the merging process, access acquired!}
Suddenly I felt like if something new… a foreign matter or energy slowly crawling its way all over my body and soul…
{Notice, merging completed! Starting the inheritance festival}
{Notice, proceeding with the inheritance of the abyss granted to the new host}
{Notice, preparing the host for the additional gifts granted by the abyss}
That is when I felt a numb and a tickling feeling in different parts of my body, the sensation of something new, like if my potential has grown in a way or another.
The messages didn’t stop at that only and continued
{Notice, Skills will be granted to the host of the abyss, beginning the Pandora system first function}
{Notice, skill [Evil Eyes] successfully acquired}
{Notice, Skill [Magic Mastery] [Mana Mastery] successfully acquired}
{Notice, Skill [Sorcery] [Witchcraft] [Enchantment] [Totem Magic] [Puppet Mastery] successfully acquired}
{Notice, Skill [Dark Magic] [Abyss Magic] [Time arc Magic] [Necromancy] [Space Magic] successfully acquired}
{Notice, Additional features shall be granted to the host}
{Notice, all gifts are granted as per the host initial wish}
My wishes? When did I ever wish to feel pain? I never asked for such a thing... wait I asked for a few things actually... that’s when I started saying what I want to do in my life.
I wished to know and understand all things for example, did my wish affect these”gifts”?
But how did it end up giving me Magical abilities?! I don’t quite understand the truth behind all of this but I can clearly say that I got nice abilities like if I am a game character
Well I used to pass my weekend after I became a lawyer playing Role Play games, farming trading experiencing battle tactics and soon that’s something I am quite familiar with! Of course I am a wizard team member! One of those whom only focus on magic attacks and spell casting! After all it’s because you can’t do that in real life... moreover since when the after life is like this?!
Why in the world the afterlife grants skills or something like if you were in a game? The hell is happening? I demand an explanation!
{Notice, Tutorial and introduction phase has been granted successfully to the host}
Suddenly a wave of information and knowledge flooded my mind like a torrent of river in its flood season!
Abyss, Ancient civilisation, Harold of the Abyss, Skills, Towers, Sanctuaries, Temples, inheritance , Forgotten era, Curse, Gods and angels, Spirits and fairies, Demons and Devils, the races, the human struggle, the end of the world, the Harold duties.
What in the universe is this?! I don’t know where to start, but I am sure of at least one thing... that world is doomed! Everything in that world is doomed! And everything in that world led to that fate! From corruption and evil t foolishness and bad decisions to provocation and threats to the world being let to doom!
The hell... they provoked the end of that universe! There is no mistake in it!
But there is a way to stop it Hein? The power of the Harold of the abyss and his/her duties!
So right now... the abyss wants me in short to save that world and stop it doom?!
With powers granted from the abyss their role is to bring balance making use of the laws of nature and magic to save the world from doom and complete eradication
And that Harold is me?!
Hey! Listen here you abyss thingy! I didn’t sign any contract nor did I agree to this! Who in heaven gave you the right to make me your prophet or something! I just want a calm and peaceful life!
{Notice, the host became the new Harold upon wishing in the abyss, take responsibility for your actions do you want something for nothing?}
You sly entity... hitting hard where it hurts is no fair! Tut! To think the entity would make use of my despair for its own good... am I now obliged to save that soon to be doomed universe? Hey... isn’t that something a god should do!
{Notice, that world is neglected by the high gods of this universe, only a low ranking goddess remains in that world, your job is to stop that universe from falling to complete nothingness by performing the quests given to you by the Abyss trough the Pandora system}
Oh! Like a RPG right? But at the very least make a rich girl with power in society! That world is built on hierarchy right? So if I need political power I would have that family support me right? At the very least I would consider that as a blessing! Please?
{Notice, the host will be given the best chance for the mission, your request have been agreed upon by the Abyss. High ranking noble aristocrat descendant, target located! Reincarnation as the newborn young lady of the Duke House of Evanson, perfect compatibility, initializing the reincarnation process}
Suddenly within the dark abyss I started disintegrating... I started panicking not because of the sight of my limbs and body vanishing like a soap bubble.
No the thing that made me lose my composure was the mention of that name!”Evanson” that ringed perfectly with my en of Déjà vue!
That name... the map of that world... the clues that have been given y the Abyss and the Pandora system... everything resonated perfectly with a Role play game I used to enjoy every evening...
Don’t tell me the so called blessing of the Abyss is to reincarnate me as her?! No, that cannot be! I demand damage and interest right now! This whole thing is a fraud!
I suddenly opened my eyes and the first thing I said upon waking up is
<Abyss, you sly trickster and cunning fraud>
I opened my eyes a moment after disintegrating within the abyss… or so it should have been… I was supposed to get reincarnated as a newborn baby fresh and clean… but why in the world am I in the body of a 16 years old young woman?! <Abyss you fraud! What is the meaning of this!> You would think I am pissed off because I am already a grown up, right? Well, that’s not everything, truth to be told and things have to be clear! The “Evanson” name, this silver like the full moon bright in the sky, Crimson red eyes the color of two soaring full blood moons in the sky! A face that would make a Hollywood actress cowers in shame like a squid standing in front of a goddess! Yes… that kind of beauty/cuteness/nobility! One of the characters in that Role Play Game that I liked the most! The noble daughter of the noblest house after the imperial family! The house of the duke leader of the aristocratic faction, the man wi
I put on a sky blue dress with light sapphire jewelries and some light make up, and I didn’t put any corset because that thing is a torture! I felt like my guts about to burst out and my bones about to snap any moment! Torturing myself for such a thing? That hurt! Why would I do that?! Anyway I left for the drawing room where two silver haired men were sitting each on a couch drinking tea. One of them was the Duke of Evanson, Cassius; the other was someone whom is the spitting image of the duke Handsome with a stoic face that look like that of Cassius but much more young! And add to the sauce a similar personality, arrogant, noble and a deeper hate toward Satiana that his daddy Well that is something to be expected of the one whom also liked his kind mother that died because of a newborn child. For them Satiana, me is the one at fault, but truth to be told, it’s the fault of their lack in knowledge and techniques and proper gynecologist
Yep… I think I just lost the already nonexistent affection of the Duke and his son…That’s how I ended up here, alone in this big shabby and dirty side building. At the very least I can take advantage of this situation to familiarize myself with the situation I am in right now, the whole Abyss Harold thing I mean…To summarize, I died and got reincarnated as a character from an RPG I used to play at my free time back when I was a company lawyer…The character I have been reincarnated as is called “Satiana Von Evanson”.White silver hair and Ember eyes, what you can call proudly a true beauty, even though I am still 16.I looked at my face on a dirty mirror glass after removing the sheet that was covering it.And the reflection showed something else… The silver white hair was tainted in a glimmering pitch black color, and the once ember eyes the color of the setting sun, turned unto a pair
<Ugh… my head hurts like a bitch, which opened the window on me? Did I forget it open yesterday after work? Did I end up playing too late again?> I barely could open my eyes… I stood up from my to close the window and go back to sleep when I suddenly met face to face with a girl in maids clothes...That moment, the lap I received from reality was harsher than a slap from a whale swinging its caudal fin… for your own knowledge… that’s capable of killing a human in one swing…<You have waked up my lady, should I prepare for your breakfast first?>Ah… right, I became the Harold of the abyss after dying… and got my memories back yesterday.Right… I am also a grounded young lady, which explains why the curtains were wide open...<Are you new here?><Yes my lady, I have been assig
After resting a little bit inside the library, recuperating mana and trying to not get all emotional from those memories, I used the Evil Eyes combined with the Read and Mental affinities on all the books inside the library and the information I got from the Pandora systemThis combination made it easy to read and memorize the information and knowledge delivered through the pages and the chapters, it was so easy and surprising how astronomical my perception and concentration was…I am proud to call this new ability of mine that can see through everything even the memories of the mana: [Evil Eyes of Clairvoyance]!The first magic I could use by combining two affinities and using the evil eyes as a medium for the casting!That way basically went through all the important information in only one evening! I went back to my room and closed the door after sitting behind a desk!<As I thought, this world is from that gam
Inside his office, Cassius, standing in front of the window facing the side building with a uneasiness showing in his eyes…He let out a deep sigh after ordering the servants and the aid outIt already has been a few days since I conversed with that girl, ever since that evening, when the sun was setting, witness to our dispute over the same subject…This house, this family could no longer be called one, ever since you left us Ananda… without you, the ties of blood that is tying us together are day after day withering out like a decayed rose under the harsh impact of seasons…I could even say it all started at that cursed day when you decided keeping the child despite knowing that would lead to your demise… and I couldn’t stop you.The memory of the dispute we had at the side building’ library, is still vivid, how frail you looked and yet you kept saying that it was your duty as the child’s paren
It has already been two week since I recalled my past life memories and a few days passed since my prohibition period ended.And so I ended up in my super fancy bedroom of young noble lady attended by a squad of maids and pampered all daylong… to realize actually that today… I’ll be attending a garden party in the imperial palaceWhat a pain in the ass… I already have plans for the entire month! My schedule is full you know?! This shitty invitation is taking from my time… I could have already taken over more animals you know?!I almost mastered the [Take over] skill if not for this unexpected invitation… I should really reconsider sending a few birds squirrels and rats to spy and gather information inside the palaceYeah… I’ll put a few on each of the imperial family members, but the thing is that these animals are not discreet at all… the guards and servants might en
It was only yesterday when I went to the garden party of his blondiness prince Lukretus, it would be a huge lie if I said that I haven’t enjoyed verbally detonating mister Golden head and miss the wandering drug! Especially when the karma that I have provoked showered them with this world’s justice!Sweet abyss… I really am vicious!Moreover, I can say frantically and clearly that I am completely disappointed in the powers of the goddess Solaria… even if she is a low ranking deity and the only one that kept faith in this world other than the abyss, to think the effect of her powers is the same effect of a charm spell, truly disappointing!Canditia, the saint with the powers of the goddess… So the reason she was a loved female lead in the original main story of the game is because of this power? Doesn’t that make her a wandering drug?! I mean, she is naturally spreading that aura around her!If not for my clairvoyance
<Take the shape of a binding chain, [Phantom Chains]> the hooded girl said as she called forth the power of the symbols she drew in the air…The runes shifted unto a transparent chain, entangling the knocked out witch…<This should keep her in check…Now the cursed young lady…>She turned and picked up the cage that fell on the ground and then she opened it…Gently, she took the white pigeon out of the cage…Poor thing…The shape shifting curse is one of the most complicate things that could ever be done…That woman…she used the concentrated sacrificed blood and the potion’s ingredient as a price for the curse…She really is an experienced elder witch…I should probably get inside her head and learn all that she knows about witchcraft…The bird in my palm had its hearth racing…Rubella&he
Chapter 28: the little bird of house Calypso, tragedy of the lady in a cage!Once upon a time, in the Regulus empire, there lived a girl…The girl was the daughter of a noble marquis, gifted in both beauty and talent; she was raised as a fragile little bird, embraced by the love of her parentsThe little girl had the power of her family’s lineage…that is to speak with animalsBe it a bird, a fish or even a slug, she could understand what lied behind the animal heart and converse with them…The girl was lonely…she grew up alone with no friends due to her poor healthIf she ran, she would collapseIf she walked under the rain, even for a moment…she’ll catch a heavy cold!An when the temperature rises in summer she’ll get a strong fever!The marquis did everything he could, spending his money to bring talented doctors and healers…everything to cure
In the middle of the forest…when the clocks tics and the night reached its peak…Midnight…the witching HOUR!!!Thanks to my messed-up fate! I got the chance to do something that’s only told in stories!The only thing that was on my mind ever since I knew that I was a sorceress…was to curse that bastard!I certainly am still a novice in this domain…after all, the only two I successfully cursed are that selfish duke and his arrogant brat!The duke was cursed to slowly rot away only to make him beg for me to spare his wretched life…
After showing Canditia a flashback of Satiana’s memories, Satania vanished in the fog with all of her familiars without leaving a trace. The truth is…she was hiding far away from the lake, barely able to keep standing… She sat down and laid her back to a tree as she started coughing out blood… <Urghh…seems like I forced myself over the limit hein…> I let out a sigh and thanked the day I became a Sorceress…either I wouldn’t have been able to cast that kind of spell on myself and would have probably been in the way to the imperial palace by now… A Sorceress with the dark and Abyss attribute… if not for this… I wouldn’t have been able to stand face to face against the Imperial knights accompanied by those priests and the mains… The technique I used supplies me with mana by magnifying its quantity… Before the battle started, I wrote an enchantment that used the psychic link between me and my Familiars, to make them anchors fo
The System’s penalty ended after three days from when I cooked that duck after recovering it with my brand new original magic spell!It didn’t give me any reward…it truly was a penalty! And it looks like the week I spend confined…went as fast as seven hours in the real world!Wow…first teleporting me on that platform and on top of that speeding time inside that space...This kind of creativity gives me a lot of inspiration…since all of it is related to my attributes…Teleportation…will I be able to do that if I grind my skills? It would be so exciting! To appear in front and behind Lukretus like a ghost!Hey…let’s do that someday…and give that bastard a fright! Something like a black
I kept having a dream…of that blood moon and the death that followed those footsteps as it came closer and closer to me…I woke up, startled with aching muscles… and alone inside the cave where that vampire used to live…Ah… right…After totally screwing up my plans…I ran like crazy after jumping out from that window…and in a dress on top that!If not for the full body enchantment powered by the sacrifice of more than ten familiar…I wouldn’t have ever been able to run away from those bastards…Damn it…Everything is in a mess right now!Everything is so screwed up…I became a criminal…Me?! The Ex-lawyer…my professor is probably crying right now…But hey…I only spoke my hearts out! Those bastards…I forgot that I am not in a democratic country…There is no Co
They say you should forgive and know the value of mercy if you want to live in peace…Well, I say, heck No!As a modern woman, when my fiancé, who’s tied with me through a contract cheat on me…I’ll probably knock the life out of him and turn that bastard into a Eunuch!I never had a boyfriend; I didn’t even have the time to think about dating, to begin with…The “me” right now…is the result of two souls merging into one…Although my past Self “Tania” is in a way more dominative than “Satiana”, I am still the both of themThe man standing in front of me…Lukretus, the crown prince&hell
When first rays of light shone in the sky as the sun rose and died the night sky with its brilliance, Satiana was already awake...After all how could she sleep after what her familiars informed her?Unnatural phenomena occurred tonight… something that defies the laws of nature to an unimaginable extent…The phenomena that are happening right now is something that was in the game…and was also recorded in historical records…are something that marks the beginning of the main story of the game… and the appearance of a saint of light!Everyone in the empire was staring at the sky and its golden hue… awed and surprised…For today the night was shorter than usual and the sun rose earlier than ever…marking the end of the night after only three hours after it sets yesterday…I was called for to the duke’s office…there Vincent and Cassius both were
From the cracks on the frozen white space crawled out a looming shadow swallowing the angel as it enshrouded it with its misty limbs…Satiana’s hair darkened from a silver-white hair to a jet black hair… a pitch-black just like that darkness that she called for…Her eyes shimmered in a crimson hue, a grin on her porcelain-like face making the angel experience a bone-shaking fear… something it never experienced…And as a final act of struggle… it started praying…<Holy light… in the darkest times to you I come and to you, I only pray!><Praying? Seriously? What, you’re waiting for some deity to come and save you or something?>As a response to my
