"KIRIN!"
no... no... no! he can't be dead! he told me he was immortal! "YOU BASTARD!"
-------------------------------------
-some time before they met-
"Your Highness, where are you going?" "I'm going to scan the grounds, the monsters' spawning at an alarming rate, create outposts everywhere near the mana grounds and assume defensive stance always, don't let any other people in or out" "yes"... "Remember the never let the mana grounds overflow! or else catastrophe will strike!" "YES!"
Hahh... Haahhh... I can't believe that I would be this badly injured from killing only a few monsters... I must be getting weaker... hahh... rest... I need... r..es...t.
a cave?.. this... looks nostalgic... "you awake now your highness?" !! "please don't be afraid, I'm here to tend your wounds" where am I? "you're in a cave, the entrance is just a few walks away, if you're fine then fly back but if you're not then please rest for bit, I'm afraid I can't cure you quickly with magic..." -who... are you? "don't look at me with narrow eyes please, it brings me the past which I was supposed to be dead..." ?? "hahaha... well I didn't really want you to understand it... since I don't live in this world, and looks like the system has already warned me that there's an anomaly. oh please don't mind me rambling, it's just a weird habit from the past" ... "I-.. ask you, who... are you?" "oh, so that was the look for, sorry m bad. name's Yuna, and don't live in this world but rest assured I won't do anything to you... well really all you can do is trust me anyway" uhg... "please rest for now. want me to sing you a song? you might not understand the lyrics but I assure you you'll relax."
her voice... serene... calming, like a calm sky...
-years later-
"yo! princess! sorry to disturb you in your rest but from the looks of it you're fine, I'd escort you to your place if I can but if it finds me then I'm sure that I'd die" she scratches her head like always... a habit of her, it's weird. "can I stay?" "hmm? wait..." sometimes she just pauses when I ask her no matter how quiet I speak "hmm... well you can stay here forever, everything you need to live is here, but as for me I need to go back to the foreign settlement... well a faraway place only some people capable of taking, I'm still laying low until it leaves but seems like that's unlikely... so I'm going with plan B." "can I come with you?" "... I-... I'm sorry, but you can't... (I can't let other people involved in this)" ...
she left... I'll live here for now, until I recover or at least feel like going back...
----
Human! no... corrupted... I'll let him live for now...
----
"I should give you a name so that everything's easier, why weren't you named anyway?" "I-..." "Woah, sorry if I asked something I shouldn't have... hmmm... mind if I live here for now? ahh right I haven't introduced myself properly yet, I'll give you a name after."
Kirin... Aiha... it sounds...
----
"Kirin! I'll take care of Parva, she's my child too you know" Parva... she's a prodigy, maybe even a monster. her power is something even the world might not even understand... "she's... innocent, if she gets corrupted then please take care of her..." Kirin... "yes. I'll take care of her as her mother... but please, even if she's just a creation... please be a father to her" ... I, a princess... taking care of this thing... what have I become
-----
"What have you done!" "I thought she was okay! didn't you say she was improving!?" "she was improving for a child but I didn't say she was fine to dispatch to the field! she's still an innocent child! and now a monster's going to rampage and kill everyone!"
----
my child... I hope you're okay! "Luna! she's just below you!" Parva! "-no... we're too late..." blood, skeletons... it's hell. nothing's left... her power, the blood orb's sucking everything, bodies dried, and what's left are only carcasses" "this... this is my fault..." -Princess! it's been 4 years! what have you been doing!?- "why aren't you going down?" "I... I can't..." I'm... disappointed at myself... disappointed at how everything has come... this... this is all my fault" tears... was I really this hurting... "...Luna... stop crying, it's really bad in your dragon form" ... "sorry... too soon? well you can cry later... right now we need to stop Parva" y-... you're right... "please... just a few minutes..." "... fine..." I don't want to... thanks Kirin..
----
"KIRIN!!!" He's... no... -My princess! please get out! reinforcements will arrive once we're done here!-
"Parva... a-... are you fine?" "hmm? Aunt Luna! why's Papa's head on the ground? is it magic?" so innocent... yet... "will you come with Mama for a little bit?" "hmm... what about Papa?" "he's... resting, I'll make him a bed later..." "Alright! well... where are we going?"
----
"Princess... we thank you for subduing the human monster, but why was she obedient? was there any reason or was it knowledgeable of our language?" "s-sorry... would... would you mind to give me a space... this is no order... just a request" "Y-yes Princess!" "and... please call me Luna" "H-have yo-" "sorry, please... just stay quiet for now... I want... a rest"
----
"the princess has been crying for weeks... and she hasn't come out of her room" "I know... she was a tyrant when we saw her... anyway, how's the human monster? and any more reports?" "Yes... the Human monster 'Parva', as to request to our princess given special care, attention and given toys and things for the monster" "weird how that's the only prisoner the princess cares for, anyway what are the other news?" "Monsters out of Mana have been spawning in the battlefield, it's now converging to the mana flow of the one we were monitoring" "so the Monsters will strengthen with no time and spawn at an even more alarming rate, this might as well be an apocalypse" "there's other news, the king of the corrupted nation has died and the whole populace dispersed, also Human and non-Human Heroes has spawned near the battlefield, it's been proven that they have immense capabilities akin to our heroes" "...If you find any corrupted soldiers, question them, if they're willing to join us then recruit them, if not leave them be. As for the Heroes... I think they're otherworlders according to the chaos book of prophecies so find one, and recruit or provide them shelter, I assume that they don't have any lodgings or inns to go, if they don't want to come then leave them" "Yes captain!"... I wish the princess would just snap out of it
----
"Princess! you have finally recovered!" "Yes... and... call me Princess Luna... from now on that will be my name" "! You have finally been named! so this means that the Princess has finally found her Parents! we shall celebrate for the new name!" this is for her Highness! the Princess must find the one she deems as a partner from the party "a party's fine, how's... Parva?" "the prisoner your brought? she's fine, as you requested she has toys and had been given food and water" "... please bring me over to her" "Your highness! please don't bother!" "no... I... want to see Parva..." "...as you wish my princess"
"What's the princess doing inside the cell?" "apparently she wants to see the monster" "the demon girl?! what are you thinking?" "I can't just disobey the Princess! are you mad?"... seriously! what is that princess thinking? "well what about the celebration?" "hmm... I might ask all the nobles and the royal guards, as for the party well I can leave the schedule to other... specifically our secretary"
----
"Princess Luna! thank you for coming, would you like to-" "please just escort me to my seat" "a-as you wish" what was that about? anyway the party's great! the nobles and royal VIPs are requesting a dance with the princess and it seems the princess is approving everything
--
"Princess Luna, You look lovely today, would you like to dance?" a royal head... "yes... lead the way" this... isn't helping me... "My princess, what has gotten into you? apparently from the rumors that you have changed yet why do you refrain from ordering your servants?.. ahh no sorry for talking like that" please... no... "well I know you are a princess but why don't we take the chance to find a partner for you!? there are mu-" "NO! I-" ...I... "I... got to go... sorry..."
"what was that?" "I don't know but it looks like the party's over..."

.
"KIRIN! YOU BASTARD!!!" 'He can't die! he can't!!!' "HAAAAHHHH!!!" "I'm sorry for your loss, but I'll need that body" "Ghk!" a force Palm... straight to my stomach... I'm... no... "such foolish resistance, but it is a surprise that that man can defend my attacks. I applaud your love for him even if you are weaker than him, well if you'll excuse me" He... took.... Kirin, no... -!- "sorry... am I too late?" is...
--------------
ahh.. she fainted... looks like Kirin's safe though, but he's dead... no life or spirit resides inside him right now but his skills are still intact, safe, I'm glad he didn't take Kirin's skill that quick "THAT WAS MY PREY!" "Right..." system, activate skill buff 'eye for an eye' -affirmative-
"Sorry bro, but can I ask you one thing? just to make this seem even? how many years have you been an anomaly" "hmph... well sure but tell me yours first" in a fight of anomalies- "about 30 years" the person who shows his experience- "too bad, well wanna know my years?" "sure" -loses. "200"
-------
Haahh... Haahhh... why is Nick so hard to understand... why is he like this now! -answer; anomaly detected 10 yards from current position- so there's an anomaly so what!? -alert: anomaly fight reigns in a few years to finish- what..? -initiating tutorial mode for current anomaly at the request of anomaly Nick Astra- tutorial? request? what is this!? -answer: system is given to anomalies, partners or tools. given personality if person wishes on settings. resuming current question:-
-ahh... is this recording? op! hey Isabelle, this would only initiate when another anomaly has spawned and I didn't have enough time to explain, anyway thanks for the system for approving, I guess the goddesses accepted my reasoning, anyway as you might guess there's an anomaly I'm currently fighting, the reason why I have to go because I'm with a community of Anomalies in world:project from a different world well that's the world that we currently reside in. I'd recruit you if I could but I couldn't access them since I'm not in that world but anyway I'm getting sidetracked.
you see the problem here, once an anomaly spawns on a world there are two only paths, that that planet or world can take, either the whole populace will die and mass extinction will happen or nothing bad happens. now keep running towards the battle 'system, initiate stealth =stealth initiated=- -stealth initiated- huh? wait, I heard two systems... was that from the video? -no questions just run towards the fight, this video won't play unless I'm fighting an anomaly anyway...
now the problem here is that if two anomalies fight depending on their experience then the fight will prolong for a couple of decades, you need to be smart you can't just fight one on one, simply put if two anomalies with experience over above 60 or 100 then they will depend on others rather than themselves, there's a maturity point in between 50 since that's practically the depression state a teenager experience, in anomaly terms it's the time an anomaly wants to kill.- I'm here... but the video is still playing -attempting to stop video, asking for decision from anomaly Isabelle- yes...
Nick is fighting with a person... I assume his an anomaly considering how intense the fighting is. they can even be heard talking thanks for the system 'fate of the undead! rise from the ground and overtake thy enemy!' what was that? "tch! how many worlds have you entered?" seems like Nick's fighting with no mercy right now, his summoning so many skeletons it's honestly scary "sorry but if you're planning to destroy the world my client wants me to be in then I can't be lax about it can I?" client? "huh... so you're well experienced in this, what did you say you're years of experience was?" "30, about as long as a human can live I guess" "hahaha... HAHAHAHA! Do you think that that amount of experience can defeat me? even if you have that many skills, not using them until an anomaly fight is suicide! FIRE BLAST!" a thin line of fire... what's stro-!! "haha... I might've died if I took that head-on well what about my next trick? HAILSTORM"
an hour has passed and the fight isn't stopping, rather they're now pushed to use a few percentages of their power that almost all of the spell Kirin says is incomprehensible
