Just as I see that message clear, my eyes start to feel heavy. I feel like I am falling asleep. "Hey get up sleepy at least watch what I can do when I'm in control." That little girls voice it sounds so familiar, but from where I think as I start to gain consciousness. I suddenly realize I can't move and I can see my arms in front of me holding the sword in stance with the point up to chest level. A dark red aura is surrounding me it's almost so thick that I can't see through it but I can see Veronica, so clearly it almost seems like I can see to her heart and it's very beat. My body seems to just vanish from the spot I was standing and makes a clean strike across Veronica's thigh and arm causing her to drop the dagger and it fly to the other side of the dojo. It thuds point down into the floor. At the same time Veronica dropped to her knees from the attack unable to even counter. My arm reaches out and places the tip of the blade roughly to her neck causing her to yelp a little before biting her lip and a trickle of blood starts to run down her neck. "Do you have any questions for this person who would betray you is beheaded?" the voice asks me. I snap back from the shock of everything that just happened and realize that she's talking to me. "Why would you do this? What was the purpose of the note? Why couldn't we just be friends?" "I heard my voice!" She looks at me sort of puzzled, then I push the questions again asking why she would do this and she only shook her head she said the note was to bring me back to her but nothing else before she went silent again. "Can't we just be friends?" She responded "only if you kill me or yourself can we be friends it is fate that one of us are to die." My arm flicks the blade before I had a chance to ask anything more. the blade glides smoothly back into the sheathing as if I had practiced it all my life. Veronica is now staring at me and before she could speak the voice was already chanting in a tone and laungage I had never heard before and there was a glow coming from a circle of aura on the floor. my hand reached out and took a drop of blood from Veronica's neck and the aura made a shape of a wolf on her chest. Then the drop of blood is mixed with a drop of my blood periced by the knife taken from her earlier and placed over the symbol it glows for another minute then settled to a deep black color. "You are now my slave... haha..." I heard my voice say it, then I collapsed. I awoke in the small room that Grandfather Elder had picked out for me. It's just a small room with a single bed and desk in the corner. As I looked around the simple room I see Veronica sitting on her ankles looking at her legs. I noticed my sword on her back and her dagger on her lap. I sit up and realize my entire body is sore and lay back down, at that movement Veronica jumps up. Now standing looking at me I take in her figure and she has nice double c cups and a cute face with short black hair to frame it nicely. She quickly asks if I am able to sit up and if I'm alright. I sit up slowly. "Yeah I'm alright just sore, what happened last night?" She just smirks " You mean two nights ago." and looks at me like I was supposed to know this. "It's been two days!" I go to get up from the bed and Veronica stops me. Just as Veronica stops me I notice the screen is up. "You have 2 rewards ready to claim." "One level increased." Can be read in the top right corner of the screen that apparently only I see as Veronica had no reaction to it. I figured, but nice to know I'm only going crazy. I think about opening them and looking into my levels and see what that has and start to figure out what all is in this menu system in my head. First the rewards though. The menu opens and the first one is labeled "Presents for slave ownership" and the second was "Rewards for level increase". I am puzzled by the first one and open the menu to see a list of items including a guide for how to use them. It also says in that guide that I can swap equipment with her at anytime through the menu and can rename that section of the menu. I rename the section as "party members" after a moment of debating whether I should should rename the section or not. I go back to the list of presents and See what they are now that I renamed the section and have finished renaming the section to feel better about it. The list included: 1x Health potion, 1x leather shoes, 1x cloth skirt, 1x cloth shirt 1x cloth underwear set. So basically just a change of clothes and something to restore health. I just leave them in the inventory and move to the next reward for leveling up. I opened the message and it had a list of three items. 1x health potion, 1x Mana potion, and 1x magic book. I decide to check the magic book first on what it does. As I opened the menu to go to the book I notice it's behind a new section under "Magic" and I was getting excited this was my first time thinking about the possibility of actual magic! The section opened up and another screen pops up. "Congratulations on reaching the rank to unlock your magical ability and start training." That's all it read before closing and I notice that the voice hasn't chimed in at all. I wonder about her and think of what I should call the voice and decided it was a girl since how she sounds. Now that I look into the menu I see the magic book and four skills the two I already had and two new ones. The first is summoning the magic book and the other is summoning party members. Both skills will be pretty handy as for this book now let's see if there is anything interesting about it. I open the magic book and a guide pops up again. "This book is where you can do all magic research, create magic spells, and runes, etc. This book has an infinite amount of pages and can help guide for faster spell use as it is connected to it's host once opened." I start to feel my excitement die down a little as I expected the book to already contain some knowledge of magic. I close the menu out of disappointment. Veronica doesn't seem to of noticed any time pass. Time must either slow down or completely stop once the menu is open. That's good to know. Veronica looks at me and asked if I was listening to her. "No sorry I zoned out what where you saying I ask Veronica?"
