Author's point of view... A beautiful princess of the Monster Land, Maria, sat at the edge of a dark, bubbling lake of blood, her attention lazily drifting between the glowing screen of her tabloid and the silent, spooky landscape surrounding her. And of course, it wasn't pleasant to the eye. One can literally pass out just by seeing it. The lake reflected the night sky, stained red as though it held the glow of a thousand sunsets captured beneath its surface. Beside her, a group of little servant elves stood at attention, their wide eyes following every flick of her finger on the screen, ready with suggestions and insights as she considered the soul-host options for her test. Maria’s long, claw-like nail tapped idly on the screen as she scrolled down the list, a frown crossing her delicate features with every option she read. The elves crossed their little arms sharing either an 'awe' or an 'Ugh' accordingly. "First one," one of the elves piped up, its voice high-pitche
Author's point of view...! Maria’s stomach twisted as the screen showed Thea slumped on the grimy, damp floor, her wide eyes filled with helpless terror. Maria’s face blanched as she whispered, "What the hell are they going to do?" One of the seniors stepped forward, a cruel smile twisting her lips. That was the same girl in the cafeteria. “Who do you think you are, ruining my clothes in front of everyone?” she sneered. “Maybe a little reminder of your place will teach you some respect.” "I...I am sorry..." Thea cried out and apologized, but that didn't work at all. It only boosted the girls in front of her. They started, attacking fists and feet raining down on Thea, bruising her arms, her face, and her stomach. Maria’s heart pounded, her breaths shallow as she watched in mounting horror. One girl held Thea down while another yanked scissors from her bag, chopping off handfuls of Thea’s hair with sadistic glee. But the worst came last—a bucket filled with foul, rank li
Author's point of view.... The next morning, the entire city roared with strange news going viral on the internet. Every single soul in the city was talking about that strange news. "Something unbelievable happened" "Many girls in the senior class section C were beaten so brutally last night. This immediately caused a scandal as most of those girls were from rich families in the town, and shocked all the teachers and students in the school. As this was a scandalous matter school authorities decided to involve police due to parental pressure and to maintain the reputation of the school. Police officers and parents arrived and crowded the administration office. The girls were in no position to say anything about who had beaten them up." The rest of the students wouldn't calm down either, the hectic environment and noise made it hard for them to focus in class. While the entire Morning Star High school was turning upside down, a girl was sleeping soundly on her desk. With her h
Author's point of view... Thea sat on her seat, looking down at her chubby body and sighed. Just using a little strength had caused her to pant. This was so annoying. She was Maria, the princess of the monster land and the strongest monster girl ever born in the entire land. How could she be so weak? In the monster land, no one would dare mess with her because she had exceeded all the levels of martial arts and was the youngest champion so far. But now, she had to endure, living in the body of a host who was only 16 years old, but had a fat body. Thea was 5'3 tall and weighed 72 kgs, quite chubby. This was going to be tough on her. If Maria wants to use her skills and live a better life in this host, she needed to lose weight before she could advance. And to add to it, the skin of this girl, Thea was tanned and her facial features were covered by fat, giving it a round shape like a ball. Maria couldn't help but sigh when she saw herself in the mirror, "She's s
Author's point of view... "It did make some sense, didn't it?" Mr. Yates said with a deep understanding and Dave couldn't help but laugh internally. That girl just now, wasn't she just sixteen or seventeen years old, she easily fooled her teacher and he actually believed her. She was quite brave. "Yes...! I think that too..." Dave replied, amused. Though he didn't believe whatever Thea said, he never doubted a sixteen year old girl could beat up those girls either. Besides, Dave saw those girls from the senior section. They were all grown ups with quite a personality like fighters and Thea was nothing but a chubby girl. How the heck could he even doubt it...! "So, what do you think we should do, officer?" Smacking him out of his chain of thoughts, Mr. Yates asked. "Leave it to us, Mr. Yates, I think some outsiders might be involved in this matter. We are still investigating and soon we will provide you with a good answer" Mr. Yates nodded, gratefully and Dave walked ou
Author's point of view... "Hey..." Dave scoffed, "If that's a joke, you are quite bold at it" Thea returned him the coke she accepted before and started walking away. He hurried behind her. "Mr.Yates believed you because he didn't have anything to reason but do you really think you can just escape from the charges because you were not in the dorm?" Thea paused. So, he was here to investigate. If she leaves now, she will be igniting the fire of suspicion. "What do you mean?" she turned around to see him. He smiled as he stood there with his hands crossed over his chest. "Why don't we continue this while grabbing something to eat? I haven't eaten anything either. I think I saw a restaurant outside your school. Let's go get some chicken tacos for you." Thea was now very annoyed. She exhaled not paying attention to the man "No thanks but can you come to the point directly?" What was his deal? Is this a normal cop behavior? "Get to the point..." he repeated her words
Author's point of view... Looking around, he flung his stick toward Thea with all his might, but she caught it mid-air, jumped down from the fence, and used that same stick to knock him out with one swift strike. "Oh...I didn't see it properly..." Thea said, landing on the ground. Dave's jaw dropped. Isn't she a girl? How did she jump from a wall so high? The gang froze, stunned by her speed and ferocity. Thea, who looked anything but active, moved with a nimble grace, dodging attacks and striking back with precision. It looked as if they weren't fighting but a director had given them all these roles to play along and Thea knew all their moves in advance. Each swing hit its mark, leaving her opponents writhing in pain. She knew exactly where to strike to cause the most agony. "Agh...! I didn't mean it" Every time she moved the stick in her hands, it would beat someone deliberately but she never failed to show her innocence. The thugs were outraged. How could they get
Author's point of view... When Thea returned to the dorm after two hours of late-night study, she found her roommates staring at her as if she’d grown an extra head or something. That was unusual. Because according to the memory of the previous owner of this body, these girls would always bully Thea for no reason. Could it be because of what happened in the class room? Thea thought about it and understood everything. She did threatened Britney and the other girls were like her minions so it's oblivious that they would be terrified with her too. "That's good though..." Thea muttered, pleased for the attention she was receiving right now. As she walked in, Britney, the trouble maker and the most violent one of them, backed away, fear evident in her wide eyes. Thea barely spared them a glance as she strode toward the bathroom, unfazed by their bewildered expressions. She had more pressing matters to tend to than the nervous stares of her roommates. Inside the bathroom, s
