Chapter 1 Rogue
'' =Thoughts
"" =Noise/Speaking
You know, I always thought that I would be here; running away from everything I was taught I would be. A princess, who at the age of 10 was told that she would be married off to the highest bidder, becoming nothing more than a living sex toy. I admit that my body, at the age of 14, had the proportions of a woman in her mid-20s with curves that were nigh impossible; but that made it so much worse, I knew I would be treated like a baby making machine and toy. Unfortunately, I was sheltered since I was born so I didn't know that this was the status quo in my country, but even if I did I would hate everyone involved in this bullshit.
At the age of 15 an elderly man who had to be at least 65 had bid a whopping $500 million as well as some jewels and art pieces. The large price wasn't exactly surprising seeing as my body and genes would be passed down to my children and make my so-called husband lots of money, but I was still enraged that I was being sold off like a piece of meat, and soon that's exactly what I would be.
As soon as my smiling father told me the good news I cried internally with sadness and anger. I was shaking with rage as both my brothers and mother all congratulated me on becoming a high-quality concubine who would produce many heirs and hopefully many more females, for obvious reasons. I couldn't stand it anymore and ran to my room grabbing a backpack with some supplies. I had planned on running away for a while, I just didn't plan on it being this soon. However, just as I was about to run into the forest behind our manor, a void of darkness surrounded me.
Looking around quickly I noticed that I, 1 wasn't panicking for some reason, and 2 there was a floating white screen with red highlights in front of me.

"Um, cool…uh what do I do now?" I hesitantly asked out into the empty void, still confused as to what was going on.
|Notice: Please pick 5 random treasure chests from the infinite rewards.|
After the disembodied voice and screen said and displayed those words, trillions upon trillions of lights surrounded me, all of them were different types of treasure chests; it was beautiful and scary all at the same time. I also noted once again that I felt as if my emotions were being suppressed, I should definitely be freaking out right now. Just as that thought appeared in my head, a new screen popped up.
|Notice: Every person that was summoned from your planet has had their emotional responses mildly restricted so that they do now have a panic attack or are unable to process what is going on right now. For being the 12,983,712th person to notice this you have been granted to pick 6 treasure chests instead of 5.|
"Huuuh, this is really happening isn't it, I've left my world and everything I knew?"
|Notice: That is Correct|
'Well, I was running away anyway I guess I just went overboard.' I thought with a wry smile on my face.
"Ok, time to pick treasure chests I guess," I said into the void with all the chests surrounding me.
"Let's begin, I'll go for the mysterious large black chest with the intricate golden patterns, I also wan…." I trailed off as I had a thought.
"Hey System, if there are infinite treasure chests then doesn't that mean I can set criteria for what I want to be inside them?"
|Notice: You can set a criteria for what the treasure chest looks like, what it is called, and how large it is. However, you cannot pick and choose what comes out of those chests. That said, how you name a treasure chest and describe it, will affect what rewards you might gain.|
"Cool, ok, I'll stick with the first one I picked, the next five however I'm going to try and customize." My eyes roamed over the huge expanse of treasure chests as I said it.
|Notice: Confirmed, You have selected 1 Obsidian Firestorm Treasure Chest. Please state and define what you would like your next five treasure chests to be.|
"Ok, for the next ones I want a, uh, a Giant Perfect Armory Treasure Chest, a Kingdom Size Always Perfect Meal Treasure Chest, ummm, a treasure chest that could give me lots of new skills and stuff, so… I don't know, I guess a Mega Multi Surprise Skill Treasure Chest.
I guess I need building supplies as well, even if I get those in one of the other treasure chests, I'd like to try and define what I get as well. So for my 5th one, I'd like a, ummm, how about a…a Warehouse Supply Treasure Chest? For the 6th one, I'd like um, oh! How about a treasure chest like my title, a Rogue Royalty Treasure Chest.
|Notice: You have selected 1 Obsidian Firestorm Treasure Chest, 1 Giant Perfect Armory Treasure Chest, 1 Kingdom Size Always Perfect Meal Treasure Chest, 1 Mega Multi Surprise Skill Treasure Chest, 1 Warehouse Supply Treasure Chest, and 1 Rogue Royalty Treasure Chest|
|Notice: Please confirm that these are the chests that you would like to bring with you.|
|Y/N|
"Yeah, I'm happy with those," I said with a cheery smile on my face.
|Notice: Confirmation accepted, now transporting you to a random location.|
In an instant, I was teleported from empty darkness to slightly less darkness. All I could see were cave-like walls to the left of me and in front of me was a pitch-black darkness that I was hesitant to even think about going towards.
|Notice: Do you claim this territory as your own?|
|Y/N|
"Um…what is this territory?" Hesitant and fearful tones whispered into the darkness.
|Notice: This unclaimed territory is located in a deep cavern 53 miles below the surface of this planet, you are the first person to find this cavern.|
|Notice: Congratulations! For finding and exploring this new cavern you have gained the Title: Abyssal Adventurer.

|Notice: Would you like to claim this as your new territory?|
|Y/N|
I didn't answer the system's question though, because as soon as I gained the skill, Night Vision, I was able to see everything within a 50-foot radius around me. It was pretty much a barren rock terrain with some sparse weird plant life trying to grow on and out of the rocks around me.
"System, what happens if I don't claim this territory; can I just keep exploring until I find a more suitable, or at least a more livable area to set up my so-called kingdom?" I really did not want to try and create a "Thriving Empire" 53 miles below the surface.
|Notice: You can explore as much as you like, however, you only have 24 of your Earth hours to claim an area as your territory. Your territory will have a 50-square-mile radius and be surrounded by an impenetrable shield for one week. After which, monsters, people, and all kinds of life will be able to enter the territory that you have claimed.|

"HOLY WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!" I screamed in the, hopefully, empty cavern of nothingness as I stared at the multiple floating screens in front of me. Before I could even begin to understand some of the things I had received, a bone-shattering, muscle-shaking pain shot through my entire body.
|Notice: Forced Human Evolution has begun.|

"OWWWWW!!" Echoed throughout the large cavern as I woke up, my body screaming in pain.
After a few minutes of lying on the ground, I shakily lifted myself up off of the cavern floor. Once I was properly standing up I noticed a few changes to my body, the most notable of which was the fact that my boobs were three times the size they used to fucking be! The perfect tan skin that I used to have was replaced by a pale whitish gray, and I seemed to be a bit taller than I was previously.
"Hey System, can you tell me the differences between my body, and um, my previous body?" I stuttered out, still not quite believing that I was a new race, and not entirely human anymore.
Immediately after I asked for a comparison analysis, two large screens appeared in front of me. One of them showed my previous body, and the other, my current body.

"WHY THE FUCK DO I STILL HAVE A FUCKING SELL PRICE!!!!!" I screamed into the darkness, pissed off to hell that I still had that constant reminder, that I was just a piece of meat in the eyes of my family.
'NO, my former family!' I shouted in my head.
|Notice: Because you have not yet claimed a territory, you are still, in the eyes of this world, a princess that can be bought or haggled for.|
"You have got to be shitting me. At least I'm in an empty cavern 50 miles beneath the surface." Sighing in defeat as I said that.
"Whatever, I still need to find a more livable place to claim my territory." Calming down, I started to stretch my new appendages, trying to get used to the new height…and weight. I felt a bit too heavy at the moment, I can't even see my fucking feet for fucks sake.
A few minutes later I was as stretched as I was going to get, so I started vaguely walking in a forward direction, hopefully I would come across a place that wasn't just stone.
(6 Hours Later)
"What the fuck! Why is there nothing else here?!" I once again screamed into the dark cave, my voice echoing all around me. I had been walking around this giant cavern for a little over 6 hours and had found nothing, a few bits of plant life here and there, but otherwise nothing whatsoever.
|Notice: You have 11 hours left before you will no longer be able to claim a territory. Do you wish to claim this area as your territory?|
|Y/N|
"Sigh, yeah sure." If I haven't found anything in six hours I wasn't going to find anything in 11, I reasoned to myself.
|Notice: You have claimed the Abyssal Caverns as your territory.|
|Notice: Your territory has a 50-square-mile radius and is surrounded by an impenetrable shield for one week. You are located in a large abyssal stone cavern located 53 miles beneath the surface of this planet, known as Nexus. The top of the cavern is 1,879 feet above you, and to the North of your position is empty space surrounded by Hardened Abyssal Stone. Information: Hardened Abyssal Stone is a rock formation known for its extraordinary density. It is almost impervious to conventional mining methods. However, if you can mine it, it has many properties similar to metal and can be used to forge weapons and armor but also build buildings and walls. To the East is Hardened Abyssal Stone, you would have to mine through 30 miles of Hardened Abyssal Stone to get to the edge of your territory. To the South is empty space surrounded by Hardened Abyssal Stone, and to the East is Hardened Abyssal Stone, you would have to mine through 43 miles of Hardened Abyssal Stone to get to the edge of your territory. 17 miles below you is a large river filled with liquid Aetherium an A+ranked metal: Information: Aetherium possesses anti-gravitational properties, allowing for the creation of levitating structures and items.|
'Damn…that's both awesome and sucks.'
|Notice: What would you like to call your Kingdom?|
"Um…that's tough, do I really have to create a kingdom? I don't want to go back to Earth, but I have no clue how to run a kingdom. 'Sigh,' All I really know how to do is the life skills that I received from the treasure chests." I said in disappointment, I was never taught much at home because I was told I wouldn't need those skills for what I would become.
'Sigh'
|Notice: You do have to create a structure that is livable for up to 400 beings, however, you will not be forced to create a kingdom.|
"Ok…um… let's just name it after my new race, I guess, but I definitely don't want it to be a kingdom, sooo, yeah ok, I want my new home to be called the Frostfire Citadel."
|Notice: You have named your Territory: Frostfire Citadel.|
