Day 2: Well DAMN! Part 2

(Unknown Forest)

After what looked like forever, Esdeath finally stops dragging me and actually cook the fishes I gave her out of my [Inventory].

This, of course, made Esdeath ask some unwanted questions upon seeing me pulling a fish out of nowhere. Well, I stretch the truth once more about how it's just normal for me and discovered about it one day. Again, it wasn't a complete lie.

After all, I did discover about my [Inventory] one day and it's a normal thing for some Gamer's ability versions.

Esdeath didn't like my answer, but knew I was telling the truth somewhat if she didn't continue to question me. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised she develops the ability to do a cold reading to detect lies.

"So, I think I would like our wedding to be somewhere that has snow." Esdeath said to me, as she sprinkles some spices over the fishes before laying them near the campfire she made.

Of course, Esdeath had the same idea as me like yesterday to use the flames from my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] to cook the fish. Well, I did explain Esdeath that was a bad idea and to prove my point by allowing her to use the campfire I made via [Fire Devil Slayer Magic].

Great for warming yourself, if you don't let a spark of ember touching you, or else you be burnt to a crisp. Esdeath learned her lesson after seeing her hat became ashes when she left it near the campfire for just a few seconds while she tries to cook the fishes.

Yup, Esdeath finally realize how dangerous my flames are. Hell, she even tested it out by dropping a block of ice over my campfire to see if she could put it out. Instead, it just disappears before our eyes. Like it never existed. Not even steam appears. The block of ice just disappears instantly upon making contact with the fire.

So after Esdeath done with experimenting on how strong my flames are. She decided to make the campfire. This way, she could actually use the fire to cook the fishes without turning it into ashes.

"Why snow? And why wedding so quick?! We literally just met!" I exclaimed at Esdeath and wonder why this Esdeath would go from experiencing what love is like and instead goes straight to the marriage.

Sure, we would be experiencing a love life, but a marriage love life is completely different.

Pausing for a moment, 'Is it really different?' I didn't know if it matters if being married or not would make any difference. Besides having the status of being married.

"Well, I grow up in a cold environment, mostly throughout my childhood and wanted a wedding in the same environment as my parents for their wedding before they die for being weak." Esdeath begins off like a girl being homesick, then near the end she back to her normal self by following the creed: "The strong live and the weak die."

"Okay, that answers my first question. But, not the previous question I kept on asking you for the past few minutes. Why wedding in the first place?! Or you're just planning ahead in the future?" I narrow my eye at Esdeath, who just giggle at me for some reason.

"Of course, there's going to be a wedding. We're going to get marry and experience with all our hearts together of love for one of another. As for the future; well, I guess you could say that. Since I'm planning to have our wedding next month, depending on how much works I got left after we return to the Empire. If not much, I will ask the Emperor to give us his blessing for our wedding. Maybe he will attend." Esdeath answered like she plans this whole thing way before she met me.

'Whoever taught Esdeath about love or whatever. Show yourself! I promise I won't kill you!' I exclaimed with rage and there goes the rage, back to calmness.

"Oh really now." I grit my teeth, but try not to show any sign of rejection. After all, Esdeath is literally doing all the job for me in order to leave this forsaken universe. If it's a month or two is all it takes for me to wait in order to leave this. Well, who am I to stop Esdeath. On the plus side, Esdeath is very hot, so there's a bright side in this whole thing.

"Yup. Oh! The fishes are done. Here, tell me how it is. I want your honest opinion." Esdeath hand over a fish, with a stick through it, and look eager to see my reaction to her method of cooking, even if it's just a fish with a bit seasoning.

I took the fish from Esdeath, where our fingers touch each other, causing Esdeath to blush a little and didn't try to move her hand away. As she wants the feeling to last.

Looking at Esdeath, who still have that eager look on her face. Waiting for my reaction. So, I took my first bite and was surprised to see how tasty it is.

DING!*

You have tasted the work from your destiny girl, who worked a bit harder than usual in their cooking. As a result, the connection between you and your destiny girl has strengthened further.

DING!*

As a reward, the player gains 1 stat point. Continue to experience with your destiny girl and strengthen the bond between each other and you shall be rewarded.

I continue eating the fish with a blank look, then give Esdeath a smile and a thumb up.

'Well, shit. Is this really a Gamer's ability and not a dating sim system? Because it seems like one.' I started to wonder if this was a good thing or not, after finding out I could gain stat points just by doing couple kinds of stuff with Esdeath.

As for the 1 stat point, I'm going to hold it until I may need it for later in the future. After all, if I could get stat points from spending time with Esdeath, along with training myself in other methods to naturally increase my stats. I should use these stat points for an emergency.

DING!*

For thinking ahead of time, your wisdom increased by 2.

"It's very good. If you're this good with fish alone. I don't mind having you as my wife." Once again, my mouth spoke for me without thinking about what would happen afterward.

No surprise, as Esdeath let out a giggle and her eyes filled with more love. From the look of it, Esdeath liked how she was praised just for cooking something so simple made her feel ecstatic.

Esdeath brushes a strand of hair behind her left ear and gives me a happy smile, making her look more beautiful, with the surroundings make her appearance look even better.

"Thank you." Esdeath was thinking that maybe this whole love thing is actually worth it. If this just a small part of what love could give her, then picking this person in front of her as her lover was the right choice instead of following the guideline she came up with a week ago for a love candidate.

"So where did you come from?" Esdeath decided to get some information on who her lover is. Yes, she already considers them to be lovers already at this point. Who cares if things are going too fast, she was going to do it her way and stick with it.

"Honestly? I have no clue if you know the place since this is the first time I arrive in the Western Country. One day, I was minding my own business and suddenly, I'm here." Once again, I'm speaking half truth and I have no clue if Esdeath notices it or not, but she didn't push and I got the gut feeling this would be the usual time she would try her best to get more information out of me.

Esdeath continues to look at me in silence, causing an awkward sensation for me, but for her, it feels like she experiencing a dream and didn't really care that's she only getting half-truth. After all, everyone has their own secrets they would like to keep to themselves.

Guess the saying about how love changes people, which is what result of Esdeath being very out of character and figure it wasn't worth the trouble of bringing up the past and just focus on the present and the future.

"Now, how about we head back to the Empire? I have to report back to the Emperor for my successfully conquering the Northern Lands." Esdeath stands up, as she stretches her muscles and ready to put out the campfire.

'Huh, so I'm already in canon timeline and just a few days before her return back to the Captial. Or is it just a day?' I started wondering if I could get some decent amount of EXP by killing the Prime Minister Honest.

I may not be a hero and whatnot, but Prime Minister Honest should count as a boss or a hidden boss reaping for EXP. Of course, if there was a quest to pop-up about how I should kill the guy, for that sweet reward of EXP and other kinds of stuff.

But, like before and again, I got nothing. No quest, no EXP besides killing. Making the whole theory about I'm on hard mode much more likely to be true.

"Hey, mind if I put out the campfire?" I ask Esdeath, who look at me with an eyebrow raise at my question and wonder why I wanted to put it out instead of letting her. After all, just a thought and she could produce an ice to put it out.

Standing next to the campfire, while staring at me with interest, as I lean over much to Esdeath's questionable look, then her face gone to complete shock.

Esdeath watches with disbelief eyes as I literally eat the fire of the campfire and putting it out afterward due to all the fire being consumed by me.

DING!*

15000 HP and MP recovered by consuming an external source of a fire.

'Well, talk about overpowered right there.' I'm going to plan a way to bring something to start a fire if this is how much HP and MP I recover just by a second.

By the look on Esdeath, she was barely holding her urge to question. So, I explain to her how by eating fire, not including my own since it won't work, I would restore my body to a healthy state and regain my strength. Furthermore, I told Esdeath about how the fire seems to possess a different "taste" according to its "quality".

This made Esdeath look at me with surprise and already coming up with many methods to use this to their advantage. Yes, Esdeath already thinking up plans to help her lover, which would help her as well.

"So you're a soldier?" I really wish my mouth would stop by now. Because just by this question alone had triggered something in Esdeath as she eagerly explains all the details she did as one of the strongest soldiers of the Empire.

A few minutes later*

(Unknown Forest: Esdeath's Campsite)

So far, Esdeath went over her methods of gaining the leader of the Northern race and bend the guy to her will in a matter of minutes. Esdeath even complains a little about how quick the guy breaks down so easily since she met with countless of others that lasted longer.

If there one thing that I didn't expect from Esdeath. Is that she loves to brag about her achievements. I could have sworn she only report about the events to the Emperor then completely forget about them later on due to deeming them as unimportant.

Maybe she is trying to win me over by telling me what she accomplishes in her career in the army and wanted me to join her. Therefore, this would allow both of us to spend with each other almost all day long.

Just a few minutes into the walk and we arrived at Esdeath's Campsite, where she left her soldiers to set up camp for the night and upon our arrival. Almost everything is packed up and ready to leave.

"General Esdeath-sama! Welcome back from your walk!" One of Esdeath's soldiers greeted her with a bright smile, which is just damn ugly if it's worn by a soldier has multiple scars on their faces, making that bright smile a disturbing one.

"Is this your new toy, Esdeath-sama? Would you like us to keep him somewhere until you require him later?" The same soldier said in a cheerful tone, causing me to feel a bit disgusted, but [Gamer's Mind] took care of that. Leaving me with my default expression: Blank and calm.

So I did what I always do when I get annoyed by small fries; I did a quick jab at the soldier, where I hit a few pressure points to paralysis them on the spot. Much to Esdeath surprise at this display of skills.

And to Esdeath delight at the sight of my scowl and feeling the familiar feeling of killing intent.

If Esdeath wasn't present, then he would be dead and become my EXP. Sure, killing is frowned on back in my world. Still doesn't stop my family from slaughtering countless of others just to get what they wanted. So, this wasn't new to me when I was forced to find different methods to train myself due to my status of not being able to train the family's inheritance.

"Please tell me there aren't more guys like this one?" I pointed my thumb at the frozen soldier, who is so confused and wonder what just happen to him, along with the thoughts about why Esdeath isn't helping out right now and just stood there watching.

"Enough to fill the whole army of mine." Esdeath didn't care if her lover didn't like her soldiers. All she cared about is for him to only focus on her only and only her.

"Well, do you want to warn them about me or should I do it?" I ask Esdeath since I rather not have to deal with these guys, that have the urge to attack anything they don't like or just wanted to have fun. Their kind of fun, not mine.

"I rather not lose any soldier if I could help it. So, I'll tell my soldiers not to mess with you. I do hope you do the same." Esdeath agreed to warn her soldiers from messing with her lover, but made sure to threaten her lover that just because of her warning. He should also leave them alone if he wanted the same treatment in return.

Esdeath took a few steps forward, where all her soldiers could see her and me, wondering why Esdeath haven't punished me for attacking her soldier.

"LISTEN UP! THIS PERSON HERE IS MY LOVER! SO LEAVE HIM ALONE OR YOU DEAL WITH ME!" Esdeath shouts at her army, causing them to be dumbfounded at Esdeath's speech. Furthermore, some of the soldiers even look like they about to have a mental breakdown at any moment now.

Out of everyone in the army; it was the Three Beasts that are the shocked the most. After all, they are the most loyal towards Esdeath and would follow her orders without questions.

However, this is one of those rare moments they questioned about Esdeath's order to leave her new lover alone. Let alone finding out that their General just took a walk in the morning, then came back with a lover of all things.

All Three beasts look one of another, then nod to each other as if they could tell what others are thinking without speaking. As they took action.

Nyau, a young man of small build with blond hair and golden eyes. With the appearance of an innocent child. But, he anything but innocent.

"Hi! Nice to meet you. I'm Nyau and one of the Three Beasts. A loyal servant of General Esdeath-sama. How did you meet with our General?" Nyau was chosen to be the one to speak for the Three Beasts.

Esdeath finds this a bit amusing and curious what her lover would do by speaking with one of the best soldiers in the army she leads.

"She found me." I didn't bother to explain anything further, which the Three Beasts figure out a few seconds of waiting for me to continue. This caused Nyau to be annoyed how I didn't explain in detail as possible if I wanted their blessing for allowing to be a lover for their General.

Esdeath didn't want her lover and loyal soldiers to fight each other, no matter how tempting it is for her to watch. But, she knew right away who would win and who would lose.

She may trust her little pets to give her a good show by fighting with her lover. But, she knows how dangerous those flame belong to her lover and could easily kill her pets. No questions ask.

Plus, there that suddenly increased attack speed her lover performed when she attacked him out of reflex. If she didn't know any better, she would think her lover possess a Teigu as well, but she read the book on all the Teigu made by the First Emperor.

Sadly, there were no Teigu like her Demon's Extract, which is known for having absolute control over ice. Therefore, she knew for a fact that even those lost Teigu scattered over the world. None of them actually have the ability to control the same flame as her lover does.

Furthermore, those flames are very abnormal to the point, even Esdeath feel threaten at the first time she saw it. Just by feeling it caused her blood to feel like it's being boiled from within her for a few seconds after her eyes lay on them.

The guy next to Nyau, who I knew as Liver, which I wonder what his parents were thinking to give Liver his name.

Stop Nyau from playing his flute and give me a small smile, "What my little friend here is saying. Is that we're curious who our dear General would find interesting enough to make you her lover. Did you do something to impress her, that she fall for you at first sight?" Liver look at me, with mixed emotions going through his eyes. Making it a bit harder for some people to get a read on him.

"I asked if she could cook." I decided not to inform them about my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic]; well unless Esdeath wanted to. Then, I can't stop her. Not like I could in the first place.

The Three Beasts and the rest of the army, that was listening closely are dumbfounded at my response. Of all things, they were expecting. Asking their General if she could cook was the last thing they would ever think of.

Esdeath turns her head to the side, to cough in her left hand as a small blush appears on her cheeks. Even she found her lover's response to be a bit of a surprise and she knew the real reason why she was so interested in her lover to the point of falling for him.

But, the cooking part was a small reason. After all, if what she read is true. It's mostly the wife that cook and sometimes the husband would too. She didn't try her lover cooking yet; however, that doesn't mean she doesn't like cooking.

After all, tasting Liver's cooking was one, if not, the biggest reason why she learned how to cook her own meal sometime. Who knows if someone may poison her meal when she least expect it. And tasting one of Liver's cooking actually made her faint. Her of all people, fainted just due to food poison alone.

"How about we just fight with the guy? After all, only someone that strong could be considered as General Esdeath-sama's lover!" Daidara, who looks like the more physical type of guy out of the Three Beasts. Also, known as a battle fanatic and similar to a player as well.

From what I could recall, the guy took every opportunity to improve himself when he could, similar to getting EXP. So, being requested to fight him wasn't that surprising.

However, this is bad for me. I haven't gotten used to being half blind and one of the reasons why I have to use my skills: [Shundo] and [Time Alter] more often than I required them at the time, even if it's just for raising their EXP.

This would be a good time to test out the [Ultimate Eye], but I rather not reveal this to these people and the only reason Esdeath know about its existence is that Esdeath being herself, she got a bit too curious and removed my eyepatch without my permission.

So, I'm stuck with either using my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] or use my family's martial arts instead, which I still find myself disappointed that my Gamer's ability won't create a skill for that.

'Well, either [Shundo] or [Time Alter] would be enough for me to take down the Three Beasts. I just hope they don't use their Teigu or I have to reveal my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] in exchange to combat their Teigu.' I frown at these guys and wonder if Esdeath wanted to see me fight against human beings after she saw me killed a Land Tiger before already.

Before anyone response to Daidara's request for a match between one of them or all against me. I activate [Shundo] and [Time Alter] together, then hit all their pressure points to paralysis all three of them. Just like I did with the first soldier before, who still paralysis currently.

Yup, I included the use of pressure points in my family's martial arts and it's a good thing to learn too. After all, pressure points could wonders and sadly I wished once more for the ability to create skills. Then, I could see if the effects of using pressure points would rise beyond what it could do.

Also, if I could create a skill from it. I would hope it helps me with my knowledge of the subject, because I only know the pressure points for paralysis, knockout, and even cause death. For the rest, I couldn't even remember them since they didn't interest me at the time.

"Okay, I beat them. Mind if we leave now?" I look at Esdeath, who was shocked that her 'pets' are defeated by her lover without much effort and so quick too. Now, she was even happier to have such a lover this strong.

I try my best to look like this was not much for me, but it took more than half of my MP. Leaving only for one or two [Fireball] for my usage.

Now, I just have put up a brave front so no one in Esdeath's army would find any trouble with me before I could raise my level and add some points into my other stats besides MAG.

Seeing how I got the [Ultimate Eye], [Time Alter], and [Shundo]. I think to go with MAG, INT, WIS, and AGI to raise, with MAG as the main priority. So, out of each level, I get 5 stats points. Then, it is 2:1:1:1 ratio.

I frown, I should have done this upon reaching level 2, but I required more [Mana] right now. Which would be a bit tricky, then thinking about both [Shundo] and [Time Alter] already raise my AGI and WIS stats way above the other stats.

Thinking about, I should make it MAG, STR, END, and INT instead. Same ratio though.

"Of course, Ragna." Esdeath pull me into a hug, breaking my trace of thoughts and notice a few people glaring at me, but kept their mouths shut after they saw how easily I took care of the Three Beasts like nothing.

"But, could you undo whatever you did with my soldiers?" Esdeath glance over to her pets and the soldier that greeted her. Where the four them still stayed in their spot and haven't moved for a while now. Also, they didn't say anything at all either.

This made Esdeath a little interested in how her lover did this, but decided it wasn't her worth of time to learn about it. Since it looks like it mainly used to take down enemies without hurting them from what she could tell.

I roll my eyes at Esdeath, then tap her right shoulder to release me, with a bit of hesitance for a few seconds before she let go.

Walking over to the four soldiers, then with quick jabs to their bodies and in a matter of seconds. They regained their abilities to move again. Much to their relief before it turns into hatred at how someone humiliated them in front of their General.

Esdeath seeing this, wonder if she should punish them for being so weak that her lover easily takes them down without killing them. Killing and taking down someone without killing them is very different. Killing is easy, but restricting someone alive without the chance of them dying is a lot harder.

But, after a while Esdeath chose to ignore this for now and quickly drag her lover to her tent, that's still up at the moment and ready to be taken down in a matter of minutes by her soldiers on her order at any time.

Once both Esdeath and I enter her tent; Esdeath leads me to a small table, where both of us sit on the ground; well, technically, I'm sitting on the ground while Esdeath sitting on my lap and facing me.

In this position, this would be a great time for sex, but I wasn't really in the mood at the moment.

"So, what now?" I ask Esdeath since I got nothing to do right now besides leveling up my skills. Sadly, currently, I can't with Esdeath on my lap and in the middle the campsite filled with a large of soldiers.

"Tell me about yourself. I've already told you a bit about myself already. Now, I'm curious about you, who shall be my husband-to-be." Esdeath gives me a loving smile, causing my heartbeat to speed up a pace for some reason. And that reason, I already got a guess of what it is.

"Well, I'm cursed with the effect of something suppressing my emotions and only the emotion of complete calm is left. As for the eye; well, let's just say it could be similar to your Teigu." I bullshitted my way with half-truths. While giving out some Esdeath to be satisfied with.

Esdeath unconsciously touches my eyepatch upon hearing the word: Eye from me, then realized she had some hidden curiosity towards the [Ultimate Eye] if what her lover called it and wonder why she felt so much killing intent whenever the eyepatch is removed.

"As for my fighting abilities. Since you told me about how you fight and other skills you trained yourself in. I come from a long line of martial artists, where we focus on pure speed and use any other skills to go with it. For example, my little sister, Setsuna, picked [Iaido] or known as the art that emphasizes being aware and capable of quickly drawing the sword and responding to a sudden attack." I started off an example of what part of my family's inheritance, where those could still learn and train if they can't train the rest of the inheritance.

"With pure speed and [Iaido], Setsuna can easily kill someone before they realize what just happen." I finished off explaining a few things, causing Esdeath to look at me with disbelief eyes.

"Wait, didn't you say you were the last of your clan, though?" Esdeath narrow her eyes at me, with a hint of rage for lying to her. Of course, I already have an answer for this problem.

"She adopted into my family. Sadly, both Setsuna and I are too far to meet up with each other right now." I replied quick enough to stop Esdeath from doing whatever is on her mind upon noticing a few loopholes in my background story.

"Wait, does that mean you or someone trained your sister in this [Iaido]?" Esdeath is a bit interested in this and wonder if this [Iaido] would improve her [Sword Mastery] further than it already is.

"I taught her, but I'm not a master of it. Setsuna is a genius herself to master it faster than the average people that focus on this single skill. Pretty much outmatch me in [Iaido] by the time she was learning from me for the 4th years." I may have sounded a bit proud at the end, but I was truly happy for Setsuna, who continue to work herself into perfection.

"I'm guessing you wanted to learn [Iaido]?" I ask Esdeath, who just stare at me with the same loving smile, then nod once after waiting a whole minute.

"Alright, but to be honest, I'm not much a good teacher and more of an advisor that give tips on how to improve. As for learning the [Iaido]. I would say you should just practice doing quickdraw while making less wasteful movement and maximize your whole body until you bring the very limit of your quickdraw. Then, surpass it afterward." I unconsciously gave a small lesson to Esdeath without thinking about the end result of giving these tips to improve herself. This will cause countless more deaths in the future.

Esdeath blankly stares at me as if I was serious, then realized he was and didn't know if she should laugh or cry, but settle with a blank stare. Esdeath could now understand the meaning of picking the right training methods that suit you. Because, if what her lover just explained to her about how to train, then he a self-learner and so is his adopted little sister.

"Okay, I could see that you won't be able to teach much to others if they, not an inborn genius or a hard-working genius." Esdeath said dryly, as she gives her lover a smile that doesn't reach to her eyes.

The next day*

Day 3: Wow, You Learn Something Every Day!

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

I stare at the wall of Esdeath's bedroom and wonder if I should worry or not. After all, who would have thought I was just a day away from the Captial, if I have a danger beast as a mount, and was sad not being able to kill some danger beasts to raise my EXP or kill someone on the way here.

Luckily for me, killing people still provide me EXP, but a small amount. Around 5-10 EXP per person. The reason why it's small after doing some experiments, much to Esdeath's delight of seeing me being so ruthless.

I discovered that killing people that don't fight back would reduce the amount of EXP I could earn. And upon arriving the Captial; I've killed enough stray bandits and any other troublesome people. To raise my level to 3. With the EXP: 6/400.

Looking at how much EXP I need to reach level 4. It seems like the Gamer's ability double the amount of EXP I need twice of the previous requirement.

Right now, I've 6 stats points for me to use. This would be a good time to raise my stats I was planning to do. But, I wonder how long could I raise it without using stat points until all the things I do could no longer raise them.

Once we arrived; Esdeath took me to her bedroom and left me there, as she takes a shower first before we head off to meet the Emperor.

It's a good thing I found a few things to do while I wait on Esdeath and read some of her books in her bedroom. Some of them are about war strategies and raised my INT stat by 1 point after I finished one of the books.

I find it a little interesting that I gained 1 INT stat for a book containing 20 pages. Where it only took me to read the whole thing after Esdeath just shut the water off inside her shower.

20 minutes later*

After Esdeath was done showering, and even changing in front of me, much to my dismay and hate for the [Gamer's Mind] that decided at the time to not work, causing me to feel again. But, not the feeling I was hoping for besides being calm.

So, I could bet that [Gamer's Mind]'s effect stop working when it comes with Esdeath sometime. Depending on the time and when.

Esdeath was very happy to see a reaction out of me and figure out that my so-called curse doesn't look like it would take effect when it comes to her. This made things much easier and fun for Esdeath to get a reaction out of her lover.

Currently, Esdeath is leading us to the Throne Room while many people are trying their best not to be noticed, that they're staring at Esdeath and me, but mostly at me due to standing next to the most dangerous women in the empire.

"So how my body compared to the other women you see in the past?" Esdeath is a little curious about the types of women her lover spent time within the past and wonder if she was good enough to keep his attention solely onto her.

I blankly stare at Esdeath with my one eye and glance down and up at her body, causing her to blush a little. I slowly turn my head back to the front, much to Esdeath's disappointment and slow down her steps.

"There is nothing to compare when I know you're better than them in another way. No one is perfect and I love the way you look." I unconsciously spoke out the one word I wasn't supposed to say to Esdeath just yet.

Esdeath stops walking and stares at me in shock, then a big smile appears on her face as she jumps on my back, with a cry of happiness. Making those nearby to almost faint at the shock of seeing the most sadist and cruel woman in the Empire, to shock so cutely before their very eyes.

"Say it again! Say you love me!" Esdeath said in a crazy frenzy way, with a crazy loving look in her eyes as she hugs me to the point of almost causing me to lose a few points of HP.

"I love you, now get off!" I shouted back as I try to get Esdeath off me before an assassination attempt appear. Yeah, my mind is filled with dark stuff that I would even think there would be someone to sneak in for a killing blow to me. Not like it wasn't true thanks to those Night Raid.

Esdeath realizes what just happen, quickly jump off her lover, with a red face and cough in her hand, then speed walk in the hallway while ignoring the gawk faces of others around.

She will torture them later today after her meeting with the Emperor; Esdeath was too embarrassed to react like her usual self and wanted to know what overcome her mind like that. Just a single word: Love from her lover, caused her heart to beat faster and feel so warm inside.

Just thinking it alone made her breath, pick up and breathing heavily, but that lasted after a few seconds for Esdeath to get herself under control again.

"Wait up!" I quickly run after Esdeath, who was busy figuring out what's wrong with her for going so crazy and so unusual for her at that.

5 minutes later*

Esdeath and the Three Beasts kneeling in front of the Emperor, who is just a kid. Next to him is the Prime Minister Honest, who is a fat man that loves to eat anything almost all the time, even to the point of carrying some types of food with him to snack on at all time.

"Thanks so much for your hard work in solving the crisis in the Northern Lands." The Emperor thanked Esdeath for her conquest, but word it weirdly in my opinion, causing me to glance inside the Throne Room, with a frown on my face as I watch the conversation going on.

"Yes! Thank you so much for, uh..." The Prime Honest notices the Emperor looking at him with bright innocent eyes. "Umm...uh for relocating all of the natives in the Northern Lands." Honest said slowly and tried not to look at the Emperor, who is a bit of surprise at Honest's response.

"Whoa. Where did they go?" The Emperor blinks his eyes and continues to stare at the Prime Minister.

"That, um, uh, th-they-they went to, uh..." Honest tried his best to come up with a good name for a made-up place and couldn't take much time before the Emperor may catch up and decided to see how it goes by speaking the truth for once. "Death. Yes."

"Oh, boy! I've never heard of that place before. Is that a new country?" The Emperor said in an excited tone, where he finds new things to be interesting, causing those to hear how native the Emperor and a bit stupid too, for thinking death is actually a name for another country.

"It is now." Esdeath replied without much thinking about and figure it kind of true somewhat in her opinion. So, she just goes with the Prime Minister Honest's bullshit.

"Oh, wonderful! Let's have it added to the map!" The Emperor said to Honest, who was still trying to come up with a few plans to fix this mistake of his just made.

Honest blink in surprise, that he couldn't believe that the Emperor was that native and quickly answer, "Yes, yes! Of course! We'll, uh...get right on thaaat..." Now, Honest started to think maybe he was worrying for nothing and wonder if he should rethink about a few plans of his.

"Anywho, General Esdeath. What sort of reward would you like for your genoci-iiiiiii...dee..." Honest glance at the Emperor, who is now looking at Esdeath with a happy smile, much to his relief and continue off, "Humanitarian work! Nailed it." Honest whisper at the last part, but those that heard him rolled their eyes at him for doing such an awful job at covering his mistake, again.

"I don't need anything fancy. I'm already super rich and powerful. So I'll pass." Esdeath replied in a calm tone of voice, as she glances back at me from her position, showing me that being with her. I would have a share of all the wealth she gathered in her career as a soldier of the Empire.

"Oh, pish posh! You deserve some type of reward!" Honest look at Esdeath with a bit of lust in his eyes, but quickly hid it away before he gets his balls frozen by Esdeath. Not like he wasn't close to getting its frozen before by her at some point.

"Come onnn! Tell us what you want." Honest urgent for Esdeath to tell him and the Emperor what she desires.

"I don't think it would be proper." Esdeath still thinks it would be better to request about the marriage later, after this meeting, where she can have a private conversation with the Emperor for his blessing.

"Is it because the boy's here? We can have him plug up his ears." Honest completely misunderstood the reasons why Esdeath didn't want to speak out her wishes.

Esdeath easily could tell what Honest was thinking and decided to say her request, "Alright; if you're really persistent on granting my wish...I'll tell you."

"Yes! Spit it out, woman!" Honest's tone is filled with arousing, that everyone, but the Emperor could tell how much Honest wanted Esdeath to speak out the wishes of what he wanted Esdeath to say to everyone.

"Oh, what I want is..." Esdeath starts off slowly, causing Honest to stare at her with a big smile.

"Yeeeeeesss~..." Honest whisper, eager to hear Esdeath's wishes and look ready to jump.

"Pure~, unadulterated~..." Esdeath continues off, causing those to look at Esdeath with wide eyes, while Emperor continues to have his normal native look on his face.

"Ohohohoho man, here it comes...!" Honest almost look like he about launch himself at Esdeath, but kept himself in check before things could become bad for him.

"...loves~." Esdeath said with a small smile on her face, causing those to look at her and not noticing this beforehand, to be dumbfounded at this response.

"AAHHH...uh..." Honest was ready to shout at the top of his lungs, then realized what Esdeath just said and was shocked to the core. "Huh...wasn't expecting that."

"I've found a partner already and wish for your majesty's blessing for our wedding, for the following next month after I've finished all my work for the Empire." Esdeath replied and stare at the Emperor with great focus.

This caused the Emperor to blink his eyes at her, "Wow, that's great news! I'll be delighted to give you my blessing! Can I see the guy that you wanted to marry to?"

This broke Honest out of his trance and narrow his eyes at Esdeath, "Yes...please show us this...guy...that you wish to wed with."

Esdeath was delighted at the Emperor for agreeing to her request and was too happy to notice the way Honest look ready to kill someone or find someone else to do it for him.

This was my cue to enter the place, as Esdeath signaled me to enter the Throne Room, where everyone looks at me and wonder what kind of person I am to get the attention of General Esdeath's love interest.

Just as I enter the Throne Room, a shadowy figure falls from the ceiling and is leaking out killing intent towards the Prime Minister, with a short sword already in the position to chop Honest in half.

On pure instinct towards killing intent; I would have attacked without mercy, but thanks to [Gamer's Mind]. For once, I was able to stop myself attacking the assassin, who could kill Prime Minister Honest right about now and rid of the world of this cruel evil man earlier than he should be alive in canon.

However, it looks like fate doesn't want Honest dead just yet. As everyone watches Honest raise his ham above his head to intercept the short sword, with a quick twist and Honest actually broke the short sword somehow with a ham of all things.

Then beat the assassin with the said ham, crushing the assassin's head like an egg and quickly place his body over the Emperor's line of sight before he could cause the innocent of the Emperor to see the dead assassin.

All this happens in a matter of seconds, where only a few people already took action. Well, mostly Esdeath and Honest are the ones that acted instantly. Where Esdeath is next to the Emperor, with her rapier out and ready to be used.

"Ah! I think we should have lunch now, your majesty." Honest quickly come up with an excuse to get the Emperor to leave before he could see the corpse behind him.

'Well, damn. Honest actually killed someone with a ham of all things and would dare waste food with the type of person he is.' I didn't know if this was funny or weird, to find out that this Honest would train himself to use food as a weapon as well.

"It's lunchtime already?! Wow, time has gone by so far. Do you think we could get some ice cream as a dessert?!" The Emperor looked at Honest, with bright innocent eyes, that would make anyone want to protect them. But, to the Prime Minister, it just made his job easier to control the kid.

"Sure! Why not! After all, you're the Emperor, but you must watch your diet." Honestly kindly advise the Emperor on how he should eat.

Everyone stares at Honest, with deadpan expressions and had a single thought together from what they just heard.

'HYPOCRITE!'

"Oh, right! Esdeath! As for your request. I'd like to congrats on finding the love of your life!" The Emperor said to Esdeath, with a bright smile, then it went to a confused one.

"By the way, I never did get your lover's name." The Emperor comment on this, "Do you mind introducing yourself to us and how you catch Esdeath's love interest? I'm very curious about how you accomplish this." Even the Prime Minister lean in a little to find out the secret to win the deadly General's heart.

"Well, your majesty. I'm Ragna D. Mercer. As for how I gained Esdeath's love." I glance at Esdeath, who look at the ground with a blush and acting like a shy girl for some reason, way out of character of her, causing those to look at Esdeath in shock.

"I, uh, asked her if she knows how to cook after I survived an attack from her." I said dryly, causing those too eager to find out what caused the Esdeath of all people to fall in love.

"You're joking, right?" Honest asked me, with a dull tone and look close to breaking someone's bone. "Please tell me he's joking, General Esdeath." Honest, and the others were dying to see their General deny this response.

Esdeath was still a bit of a daze and was a bit of surprise at someone calling out for her, causing Esdeath to fire off a few icicles at the one that spooks her a little while her guard was lower just a bit, but enough to cause Esdeath to straight to attack mode.

Everyone watches Honest perform a series of movements to dodge all these icicles by literally dancing around them. Much to everyone's shock at this display.

Even the Emperor look at the Prime Minister of shock and surprise, even a hint of awe as well. Like he just found his role model.

"WOW! Prime Minister that's was awesome! Can you teach me how to do that?!" The Emperor jump off his throne and rush up to Honest, who was working up a sweat, but still look completely fine. Like he didn't just dodge two assassination attempts on his life, one was on purpose and the other one was an accident.

If someone were to look closely, you would see that Honest actually lost some weights from doing all those things.

"Uh, um, sure, why not?" Honest look for a reason to reject this idea, but came up with nothing at the moment and a little hungry from doing all those exercises, Yup, he counts these assassin attempts as an exercise for him and made him a bit more hungry than before.

"Oh, yeah! Ragna! Would you like to join the Empire? I'm sure you're a great fighter if you could dodge Esdeath's attack." The Emperor offers me a position in his military, causing others to look at me with narrow eyes for some reason. Mostly by the Prime Minister.

"Suuuuurrrrreee." I draw out the word, much to some peoples' confusion at the way I'm answering, and some even frown at how rude I am being towards the Emperor.

"Great! Come on, Prime Minister! I'm hungry and ready to learn how to move like you did a few minutes ago!" The Emperor quickly rush out of the Throne Room, with Honest hot on his tail, but not before sending a deadly glare in my direction before following the Emperor out of this place.

"Uh, now what?" I ask Esdeath since it looks like the Emperor didn't assign the next task for Esdeath to take down the Night Raid and just run off to grab something to eat, with Honest tagging along when it was his ideal in the first place, kind of.

"Now, we go out hunting and shopping. But, mostly shopping." Esdeath said to me, then drag me out of the Throne Room, with the Three Beasts following behind us in silence and couldn't wrap their minds around what just happened back in the Throne Room.

30 minutes later*

It took us some time to go from the Throne Room and the outside of the Palace, where we could see countless of stores around us.

Esdeath ordered the Three Beasts to take care of the Night Raid by luring them out while she spends more time with her lover. As for the reason for this order; Esdeath didn't give one to the Three Beasts, not like those three would care about the reason behind this order and went off to do their new task assigned by their General.

Well, Esdeath did explain her reason to me when I asked her and was surprised that Esdeath already got her next task to do for the Empire. As the Emperor already assigned her one right after she left for her conquest in the Northern Lands.

Which made me feel like my future knowledge in this world is a bit useless, but I didn't mind it much after thinking about how my existence here alone already thrown the whole timeline into discord.

Afterward, Esdeath drag me across the whole place, and it was awful in my opinion, but at least Esdeath didn't purchase countless of random kinds of stuff just for the hell of it.

I got something out of it, as my Gamer's ability gave me 2 stat points for spending time with Esdeath while shopping.

Then, we went to the Plaza to grab something for us to eat. Finally, we returned back to Esdeath's Chamber. Where we put away a few things Esdeath bought from the market.

Overall, this whole trip from the shopping, to eat, and back to the Palace. I gained a total of 4 more stat points out of this.

"You know, I'm starting to think this relationship of ours would be great." Esdeath pulls herself closer to me and lay her head on my left shoulder, placing her left leg over mine. As she traces a circle on my chest with her left hand while staring at me with eyes filled with love.

Currently, Esdeath isn't wearing any clothes besides just a white button shirt, that's a few buttons near her chest are unbutton to show some skin and a matching white pantie, that's almost seen through. Showing me that Esdeath trying to seduce me and I'm mentally cursing at the [Gamer's Mind] for not being in effect.

Because Esdeath has already noticed how I'm reacting to her seduction, causing her to let out a giggle and continue to tease me when she knows how uncomfortable I am right now and at the same time arouse the way Esdeath dressed for sleep and how close she is to me.

"That's nice, Esdeath." I give Esdeath a small smile as I slowly let my guard down, much to Esdeath's delight to see me relax around her, which should be a big mistake in others' point of views.

The next day*

Day 4: All About Practices

(The Empire: Central Region: Gifnora Forest)

It took me a few trials and errors, to adapt my skills to my fighting style. Furthermore, I tried my best to calculate the amount of [Mana] I should spend for each skill, with the [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] taking almost 70% of my total MP compared to the other skills and sometimes the [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] would take up all my MP in some of the death battles I went against a few high-class danger beasts.

I managed to level up [Eagle Vision] to 5 due to multiple times of using them to locate the danger beasts. Next is [Shundo] at level 9 and [Innate Time Control: Time Alter] setting at level 3.

Most of the time; I would use [Shundo] for the burst of speed, with [Time Alter] would be used sometime if I took a few too many extra steps, where I put myself in danger and would use the [Time Alter] to speed up my reaction speed for me to escape or perform a counterattack.

As for the [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] and the [Ultimate Eye]. Due to killing so many danger beasts with a [Fireball] and using the [Ultimate Eye] to find the best spot to attack. I got [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] to level 11, making it my highest level skill.

The [Ultimate Eye] took much longer compared to the other skills due to my low INT stat to support this skill. But, only got it to 80% EXP and still at level 1. Since the 'cooldown' for the skill was just too long, for me to be able to level it up today.

Shocking or not; [Hundred Gaunltets] are a lot harder to level up than the [Ultimate Eye]. Due to having to wait for my [Mana] to recover due to the failure on making the [Hundred Gauntlets] to work and end up as wasting those MP instead.

It's a good thing the [Ultimate Eye] doesn't cost anything besides requiring higher INT stat to make the duration last longer or else it would be the hardest skill to level up, where the hardest skill being the [Hundred Gauntlets] at the moment.

After going through the whole forest; I gained 3 STR, 4 END, 3 AGI, 1 INT, and 1 WIS from the actions I've done to face all the danger beasts in this forest. Furthermore, I level up to 9 by the time day is almost over and I return to the Empire, where a pissed off Esdeath is waiting for me due to not allowing her to come with me.

Yeah, that night; I had to find an Inn to sleep because Esdeath won't allow me to sleep with her, as in actual sleep, not sex. Which Esdeath of all people, actually wanted our first time to be on our wedding night surprisingly.

So for today, I did a lot of leveling, with 30 more stats points added, giving me a total 40 stats points for my usage in the future. Sadly, it got harder to level after level 9. EXP: 120/51200.

Found some danger beasts that were high levels, to give me 10000 EXP per kill. But, those were rare within the forest and I could only find 8 of them while the rest I had to grind by killing some of the danger beasts that only give me 1000s EXP.

Yeah, my [Inventory] is literally filled with corpses of countless danger beasts that's not burnt to ashes by my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic], which I gave them to Esdeath, who was a bit surprised at the number of danger beasts I killed from the Gifnora Forest, but was still mad at me for not allowing her to come with me.

As a result; lots of prisoners and anyone that pissed off Esdeath by accident had a bad day.

The next day*

Day 5: Making Things Up

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

After denying Esdeath from going out hunting danger beasts with me yesterday; I decided to cheer her up by offering her a sparring match between us. The result: Esdeath defeated me after 30 minutes into the match and actually look a bit tired and a few scratches here and there.

Both Esdeath and I found out that she could suppress my flames if she put more efforts into her ice attacks. Sadly, this drained her to the point of not being able to use her Teigu for the rest of the day.

This means Esdeath could only defeat me as quick as possible or else my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] would end her after waiting for my MP to recover. Therefore, Esdeath would end up losing if she allows the fight to last long enough for me to counterattack.

If I could manage to last that long in the first place, otherwise, I would end up losing before regenerating enough MP to cast another [Fireball].

The next day*

Day 6: Well, This Is A Surprise...NOT!

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

Today is the day we discovered the deaths of the Three Beasts, causing Esdeath to be in a bad mood for the whole day, which leads to more prisoners to be tortured by her as a result.

Therefore, as much as I hated to speak someone like Honest. I was the one that had to see the Prime Minister, for Esdeath's requests on gaining new troops weeks before she left to conquer the Northern Race, but all of them being Teigu users to be formed into a new group meant to deal with the Night Raid personally due to the Night Raid's members possessing Teigu as well.

Well, Esdeath got her new Teigu using subordinates without much trouble. It just took some time for the Empire to gather them.

The next day*

Day 7: The Newcomers!

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

The report that Esdeath got back after the deaths of her Three Beasts has come in. Esdeath's mood turns for the worse when the soldiers couldn't recover the corpses of the Three Beasts, not even a few flesh or bones.

So Esdeath had to request some people to make three graves for them with their names carved onto the tombstones. Which didn't take long to do when it just empty graves.

Esdeath forced me to visit them while she spoke out loud about how weak, they are, but still, promise to take vengeance on their killers on their behalfs.

Afterward, both Esdeath and I returned back to the Palace, where we'll meet the new soldiers assigned into Esdeath's new group.

Day 7: The Newcomers! Part 2

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

On the way back to the Palace; Esdeath told me to go ahead of her as she needs to grab something before meeting up with the new group she requested for.

I took this chance to use my [Fiction Adaption] once more on the last manga I kept in my [Inventory] for days now.

Sadly, the skill I wanted to be imported was rejected. It seems like the [Fundamental Force Manipulation]'s requirements for gaining it. Is by having a level 100 skills in [Gravity Manipulation], [Electromagnetism Manipulation], [Strong Force Manipulation], and [Weak Force Manipulation] before I could gain the [Fundamental Force Manipulation], which is all four merged together and stronger than just possessing all four skills separate into their own skills.

Of course, I would have gone for [Electromagnetism Manipulation], but found out even that skill has a requirement as well. I'm just glad the requirement was for this skill was that I could only get this skill after my 10th import skill from [The God of Highschool Universe of Knowledge].

This included the other three skills in order to get the [Fundamental Force Manipulation]. Much to my disappointment, as I discovered that I couldn't get the [Charyeok] due to some restrictions that prevent me from accessing them.

This wouldn't have made me feel too bad, but my Gamer's ability didn't even tell me what the restrictions are and just mention about them, that some unknown forces are stopping me.

If I've to guess; it's those beings within The God of Highschool universe that are stopping me. Just like Truth from the Fullmetal Alchemist universe.

So, I decided to pick something else to suit my fighting style and I was happy with what I got.

[Nabong Needle Ryu] - Passive - Lvl.1/100 - EXP: 0% - MP cost: None

Description: This is the type of martial arts that utilizes acupuncture to attack. It is emphasized in strong, fast attacks with fingers functioning like needles to puncture pressure points and vital points on the body.

1st Effect: Gain access to [Acupuncture] skill

2nd Effect: Give the user's fingers the ability to function like needles

3rd Effect: Locked (Require level 10)

Other Effects: Locked (Require 3rd Effect unlock)

At first, I would think this [Nabong Needle Ryu] would be useless for me when I already know some pressure points. But, after gaining this skill; all those knowledge on the [Acupuncture] are downloaded into my brain for my usage.

Furthermore, the [Nabong Needle Ryu]'s 2nd Effect: Giver the user's fingers the ability to function like needles was a big boon.

After all, there are some pressure points I can't use due to lack of needles to use those points and I could only use the ones that don't really need a needle to be used.

I do have to wonder what the 3rd Effect of the [Nabong Needle Ryu] would be since it's the first skill of mine to have the smallest level required to unlock the next effects out of the other skills.

Thinking about it for a moment and wonder if I need to level up 10 more times for [The God of Highschool Universe of Knowledge] before I could get my 2nd skill from this [Universe of Knowledge] while I get my 2nd skills from the other ones.

Because if this is true, then I'm starting to regret not using this manga upon arriving this world beforehand.

"HELLO SIR!" I heard a dreadful familiar shout behind, causing me to break out of my trance of thoughts and I almost lashed out at the person behind me.

Turning on my left and found Seryu, who is known for her strong and twisted sense of justice. With a major twisted sense of right and wrong to the point of viewing the Empire as absolutely right, and its enemies as pure evil.

"Are you lost?" Seryu asked me, then her face went stiff, "JUSTICE!" I flinch at the sudden shout right at me.

'Okay, I'm starting to think I'm not even close to the canon and into the comedy version known as parody or a mix of both.' I'm beginning to wish for the canon version, even with all the darkest parts that come along with it over this world I end up in.

"No." I didn't dare turn around with crazy here may end up stabbing me in the back if I so much as give a hint of being any other sides beside the Empire.

"Then, why are you in the middle of the hallway, Sir? If you're not lost?" Seryu looks at me with her normal and not crazy look. Before it went back to crazy as she shouted justice in a loud manner once more.

'This...this is my life now. Hanging out with crazy people.' I'm this close to just call it quits and kill everyone, then move as far away from this place and live in this universe for the rest of my life as a murderous wanderer.

"I'm-" I was about to answer Seryu's question when a chill went down my back as I move on pure instinct and appear a few feet away from my previous spot. Where there another person walking up to Seryu, who was confused by my action.

"Well, hello there big boy~!" Dr. Stylish wink at me, causing the shiver to spread through my whole body. The same man, who does countless experiments on countless creatures, this included humans and danger beasts.

"Nope." I am done, but since I promised Esdeath not to cause any trouble for her until she returns. I head to the same conference room, where the other future members of the Jaegers team formed under Esdeath's request.

Entering the room; I found Wave, Bols, and Kurome already in the room. But, I ignore all three and the two behind me as I stand in a corner near the door.

From what I could tell; Wave actually the same as his canon or his crazy side is well hidden and control to be shown in public. For Bols, he similar to Wave's case. As for Kurome, she the most disturbing one out of those three.

This world's Kurome acts like a spoiled princess and even talked in a third person view, where she talked about her favorite things to do and that with dolls. Her version of dolls, thanks to her Teigu.

After both Seryu and Dr. Stylish entered the room. The last member: Run enter, causing Wave to act similarly in canon upon Run's introducing himself to everyone in the room.

As a few minutes go by, where some talks to each other and a few times they glance in my direction, but kept their distance due to the heavy presence they felt from me.

As the second go by; I gained a little more information on these people and surprise only Seryu, Kurome, and maybe a bit of Dr. Stylish are different from their canon version.

This Seryu makes the canon Seryu like a novice when it compared with justice. The future countless headache I would have to experience just by being near her would have been bad for my health. Lucky for me, I won't have to worry about that due to [Gamer's Mind] making them disappear the instant they appear, much to my relief from finding this out.

Just as I was about to plan a way to secretly get rid of Seryu; Esdeath walked into the room with a mask on, but didn't change her General's outfit to make the whole disguise better.

Only to those that never met her would think she was just another random person and not the same person known for her sadist methods to deal with enemy forces.

"Who's that?" Wave asked for all of us, as Esdeath walk up the stage and dramatically point at all us.

"Who the hell are you, people?! What are all you people doing in this room?!" Esdeath didn't even give Wave the chance to speak up and kick right in the chest, sending the guy flying and created a small crack size of his head upon contact.

This action caused everyone to look at Esdeath with a surprised look on their faces. Some of them even go straight into offensive and attack Esdeath.

Pretty much similar to canon, with Kurome just changing her dialogue to something else. About how she will show Esdeath her place for acting so disrespectful.

Yeah, Esdeath broke Kurome's left arm for her comment and to add another injury; Esdeath steps on the back of Kurome's head to show how she thinks about how disrespectful she was to Kurome.

Too bad, this Kurome didn't manage to break Esdeath's mask and continue her assault.

The end result: All, but myself, are on the ground, groaning in pain with Esdeath looking very disappointed at what she got as her new team of Teigu users.

Without warning, Esdeath launches herself straight at me, not bother to explain herself to everyone the reason why she attacked us.

So without thinking; I grab the back of Wave's jacket and pull him in front of me, to be used as a meatshield. Esdeath found this amusing and continue her attacks.

In a matter of seconds; Wave looks like he needs to go to the hospital with the number of injuries he got now due to Esdeath's ruthless attacks.

"Really now, Ragna?" Esdeath asks me after she strikes with countless of non-lethal attacks and realizes I've been leading her to always attack Wave's non-fatal spots for a while now.

With [Time Alter], this wasn't that hard a task to do and Esdeath knew this and finally stop.

Everyone watch Esdeath takes off her mask, where her face is revealed to everyone, causing some of us to be surprised that the masked person was their leader this whole time and she was testing us.

"Anyone want to take Wave here to take him to the infirmary to be treated for his injuries?" I ask anyone that was willing to help the guy.

"OH~! I got him, big boy~!" Dr. Stylish rushed over to take Wave off my hands and almost reached to touch my face when Esdeath kicked him away. Much to some of the others' surprise at this action of Esdeath.

Sadly, instead of Dr. Stylish falling unconscious or badly injured. He took out a small box and shake it a little for a pellet to come out, which he pops it in his mouth and took only a few seconds before he back to perfect health.

"Can I still quit?" I ask my lover, whom I may as well accept her love with then face her as an enemy and may end up torture by her to gain my love rather its natural love or force love. Doesn't look like it matters to Esdeath.

"Nope." Esdeath smile at me, then narrow her eyes at Dr. Stylish, who shiver at the glare being sent in his direction. Quickly, Dr. Stylish throws a pellet into Wave's mouth and everyone could see Wave's injuries are beginning to disappear.

The next day*

Day 8: Bits of Advice

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

After yesterday's creation of the newly formed Teigu users group known as Jaegers.

There were some problems at the time; everyone was shocked to find out that I wasn't really a member of the Jaegers due to lack of Teigu myself and is Esdeath's lover and future husband as well.

Later on after the first meeting; the Jaegers and myself meet up with the Emperor to introduce the team's members and where they came from. Much to my relief, Esdeath told me I wasn't allowed to attend due to my status of not being with the Jaegers just yet.

So I head to Esdeath's bedroom, because surprise, surprise, Esdeath made all the soldiers guarding the place to not allow me to leave the Palace.

I guess she was still salty that I didn't take her with me to the forest, to hunt down the danger beasts.

Also, I should have realized it by the first day upon arriving this world. I get no loot at all. Hell, I even checked the option in the Gamer's ability and still found no option like auto loot or anything related to loot.

If it wasn't for [Gamer's Mind], I would be very depressed at the time. Nonetheless, I rather not have Esdeath be more angry with me than she already is.

I waited for a while until Esdeath returns back from the meeting with the Emperor, where she literally undressed in front of me, much to my dismay and my little part's happy at this sight.

Well, it would have stayed as dismay if it weren't for Esdeath to jump me and look like she arouses or something, but control herself the last second and ran into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Yeah, last night was pretty awkward to the point, where Esdeath would usually hug me while we sleep. This time, Esdeath was too embarrass, EMBARRASS, to even touch me, let alone hug me for some reason.

This was a side of Esdeath I would not have thought to see. But, after what looked like half an hour. Esdeath hug me again and look like she couldn't take it any longer from being able to hug me while sleeping and got too used to my presence next to her to ignore for the rest of the night.

If anything, this just made Esdeath feel even closer to me, where I'm still confused for the rest of the night about what's going on with Esdeath at the time.

What made last night's sleep very awkward was that Esdeath didn't even speak to me the whole time from coming back from the meeting and at the end, we slept.

I was too confused to speak and just go along with it. At the time, I didn't know if I should just take Esdeath there and then or not. But, I did know Esdeath's action last night prove to me that I would even stick it in crazy.

During the morning, Esdeath was still a bit quiet before she kisses me on the lip out of nowhere and continues to do so until one of us had to breathe. Not surprising, it was Esdeath who needs to breathe first.

Then finally explained what's going on last night and realize why it took Esdeath so long to return after the meeting. As there was a party for the newly formed Jaegers and celebrated it for a while until Esdeath excused herself.

But, that's what wasn't the reason why she was acting so out of control last night. What Esdeath told me was that for some reason her body started to get hot, which is weird when she mostly cold and I can prove that's a fact after sleeping with her the whole time.

Esdeath's body may be hot, but it's cold, not to the point of freezing me with a thin layer of frost. Just feel cold.

Either way, Esdeath made up a theory that she felt this way because I wasn't near her at the time and this happens to her once before during the time I left to hunt some danger beasts. And she had to deal with it, which is the reason why she asked me to leave the Palace.

Furthermore, Esdeath even said we must be meant for each other if this is how she acts around me and it hasn't even been over a week yet.

Once more, I feel like some unknown force is the causes of this, but after spending time with Esdeath personally. I've to say I don't mind about it anymore. Well, until the day of our wedding. I don't what would happen if I exit this world afterward.

Anyway, after the whole talk with Esdeath. I got another stat point from having this deep conversation with her. And I've already gotten used to this part of my Gamer's ability.

Esdeath took me to the Empire's Treasure Vault filled with Teigu, that the Empire still manages to keep for their usage.

"Well, Ragna. See if any of these Teigu could be used by you. If not, we can just find a way to recover the ones stolen by the Revolutionary Army." Esdeath said to me, as she glances around to see anything catch her interest.

On my left; I found something that made my instinct draw to it. Slowly, I walk over to search for it and find it's a sword. With the sheath is simple, violent and close to black and straight, adorned with a gold-plate inlay about midway down its length.

Picking up the sword and found it a bit light. I draw out the sword from its sheath and discover the blade itself was pitch black, almost like it absorbing the light itself surrounding it. I can't even see my own reflection with this blade. Furthermore, I realize it's a Chinese straight sword too.

"Oh. I would never expect you could fully draw it out from its sheath. Lots of people would dare to force themselves to draw it out, but end up getting killed by it instead of controlling it." Esdeath said to me, as she walks up to me and stares at the Teigu in my hand with a hint of excitement.

DING!*

You have discovered a soul-bound weapon that's created by a dangerous beast beyond the power of this world.

Would you like to bind it?

[Yes/No]?

'Well, that doesn't seem menacing at all.' I thought dryly, then hit the yes mentally.

DING!*

You have bound the Teigu: [Life Stealer: Korosu] to your soul. Which give you the benefit of recalling this weapon back inside your [Inventory] with a single thought and sacrifice something in an exchange for this weapon return if the durability ever reaches zero or the weapon itself destroyed beyond repair.

I blankly stare that the blue screen window and disappear it after reading the whole thing.

"Do you know what this is?" I wanted to make sure the real name of this Teigu and not something my Gamer's ability made up on the spot. Plus, I've never seen a Teigu like this in the canon. So it could be a Teigu never been shown or just one of the many hidden things in this world.

"This is one of the top dangerous Teigu ever made. This included my own Teigu. This Teigu is called the [Life Stealer: Korosu], known for stealing away all life force from its victims. Rather, it is their wielder or enemy, even weird things like a tree would be drained of its life force and wither away." Esdeath replied to my question, as she made sure not to touch the blade while staring at it.

'I guess that confirms that this Teigu is a double-edged sword. I better use it often or else it would draw the life force out of me to fill it's hungry. Who knows if it's actual life force or my HP or MP.' I've already started planning a way to keep the bad side-effects of the Teigu from trying to drain my life force.

"So I have a literally life sucking weapon, that's bound to devour all life force around it. If that wasn't scary enough, I'm its new wielder and the closest to it for a good meal before a new target or wielder appears before it once more." I said dryly, not to mention how this thing is bound to my very soul.

And since this weapon is literally a living weapon at that, I have no clue what unknown effect this soul-bound would affect me.

"Pretty much, yeah. Just make sure you don't touch the blade with your bare skin. Oh, yeah! I just remember that this is Teigu is similar to three other Teigu. Out of the three, there two Teigu called the [Incursio] and [Grand Chariot]. With the [Incursio] being the prototype of [Grand Chariot]. The third Teigu is [Murasame] and the prototype for the [Korosu]." Esdeath reveals a shocking fact about the Teigu I have in my possession.

"However, unlike the [Grand Chariot] that fixed the unstable feature of the [Incursio]. The [Korosu] is considered a failure due to the First Emperor couldn't even use it for a few minutes before he almost killed by it. Making this Teigu the first one among the rest to be sealed within the Treasure Vault until the next wielder could control it appear." Esdeath finishes explaining the small history of my Teigu.

I didn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, I got the Teigu that's a finish version or an improved version of [Murasame], the deadly weapon known to kill its target with one cut. While on the other hand, this Teigu is still considered a failure and made the prototype one be a better one.

Like how it's in canon, where [Incursio] can beat [Grand Chariot] later on. But, seeing how the Gamer's ability isn't telling me about how my life force is being drained away or either my HP or MP are dropping at the moment. I think it's a good thing for now. At least, I have a weapon, a deadly double-edged weapon, for my usage now besides my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] and [Nabong Needle Ryu] for an offensive.

"Well, let's go. I have a tournament to run and luckily we got a Teigu for you before we start the thing." Esdeath drag me along after she watches me put the blade of [Korosu] back into its sheath before doing so.

2 hours later*

So far, the tournament is going almost the same as the canon version, but with me seating next to Esdeath, who was bored and using my left shoulder as a resting place for her head as she watches the fight going down below us.

Just now, Esdeath mention these fights was just boring to her and Run; well, the guy looks like he has his own [Gamer's Mind] or went through trainings to have really good control over his emotions. I'm leaning to the latter since his canon version was able to do so, even when he met the Wild Hunt in the future.

Soon, we watched the match between Tatsumi and his opponent, that have a bull for a head while the rest of their body is a man. Pretty much the minotaur of this world.

This would have been the moment Esdeath fall in love with Tatsumi upon the sight of his smile to the public.

Looking at Esdeath, all I saw was Esdeath's bored expression, even after seeing Tatsumi's smile.

"Think the kid is a good candidate for using the Teigu you guys recovered from the Revolutionary Army?" I ask Esdeath, who close to falling asleep and blink rapidly at my question.

Even Run looks at Esdeath, with a small smile on his face and wonder the same thing. Since he finds Tatsumi's performance to be good compared to the other fights in this tournament.

"He could be one, but we can't just give out any Teigu to random people that are not in the army. You, on the hand, are my lover and I've already applied you into the army and assigned to Jaegers the moment we got you a Teigu. So we don't need to worry about that. As for that kid, not so much, but we could test him out though." Esdeath informs a few things about handing out the Empire's leftover Teigu and was surprised there was such a thing.

"Should I bring him over to be questioned, General?" Run ask his leader for her command on what he should do next. So he could notify Wave to bring in the candidate somewhere private before giving them the open to join the Jaegers.

"Sure, why not. We can use more member. After all, we still don't know how many Teigu the Revolutionary Army possess right now." Esdeath gets off the couch and look at Tatsumi very carefully for some reason, then let out a sigh like she disappointed about something.

"Something wrong, Esdeath?" I ask her, as I stand up and wonder if Esdeath was trying to see if she would fall in love or have some sort of feeling for Tatsumi after seeing his smile.

After all, that's how the canon version of Esdeath fallen in love with Tatsumi at first sight. But, seeing how this Esdeath falls in love with me somehow, and the way she let out a sigh wasn't the sigh of love, but more of a disappointment if I guess it correctly.

"Well, don't be jealous, but I wanted to see if the list I used before meeting you would help me find someone to love. Look like I was thinking too hard on the list for a love candidate. Because after seeing that smile on that winner's face. My heart didn't raise like it did when I'm with you." Esdeath looks at me with a bright smile, that could send anyone's heart racing if they didn't know what type of woman Esdeath is.

All I did was give Esdeath a nod while giving Run some hand gesture behind my back for only him to see. As I try to silently message him something.

Sadly, before Run could decipher my hidden message. Esdeath narrow her eyes and notice how Run's eyes at looking behind me and I have both my hands behind me. This caused Esdeath to quickly figure out something going on here without her notice.

Seeing this, I quickly stop and Run knew when trouble shows itself and figure out what kind of trouble he may face if he doesn't explain what's going on to Esdeath. Since he's not her lover nor a higher rank than her, not like that would, his life is at state.

"Sorry, General. Ragna here was trying to message me on what we're going to have lunch today. Since you were still speaking General, Ragna found that it would be rude to talk over you and just send me a hidden message instead." Run said, then give everyone a smile as he gives me a thumb up for his quick thinking.

Sadly, this made me realize this Run isn't normal after all, since he just did a Nice Guy pose from Naruto, with his teeth sparkling for a second.

Esdeath and I sweatdrop at this, but didn't comment on this and just nod at the same time to Run, who nods at us, then walk off to meet up with Wave.

"There no normal one in the Jaegers is there?" I ask Esdeath, who let out a snort at my question like it's a joke or something.

"Depend on what your definition of the word: Normal is." Esdeath replied, as she pulls me along and walks away, to leave the work for giving Tatsumi his tournament's money and taking him away to ask a few questions just in case he was an enemy spy or something.

2 hours later*

"Well, Tatsumi rejected in our offer to join us. So, we just let him leave with his reward from the tournament." Run reported to Esdeath, along with the rest in the room to let them know they weren't getting a new addition into the Jaegers from the look of it.

'Huh, I guess when Esdeath isn't blindly in love with Tatsumi and trying to experience the whole thing love for herself with an unwilling person. Then, she more calculated in her movements. Not even bother to think if it's worth for Tatsumi to join by force or not.' I'm starting to wonder if I should just say screw the plot at this point and just help Esdeath get rid of the Night Raid, to speed up the wedding day.

Just as Run finished his report; a messenger rushes into the room and looks like someone forgot the close the door, since usually the soldier would knock first before announcing their presence and request for entry.

"General Esdeath-sama! As ordered, I've finished the report regarding the area around Gyogan Lake!" The messenger reported to everyone that they have located the hideout of a group of Bandits.

"This is great. The timing is just perfect, for our first big job." Esdeath said to the whole Jaegers members, including me.

3 hours later*

It took some time, but reached just a few miles away from the Gyogan Lake and started planning out how to take out the Bandits without giving the chance to escape their sudden attack.

Afterward, we arrived at the enemy's hideout front entrance. Instead of Esdeath watching how this play out from a few like in the canon. But, without Tatsumi's present. Esdeath decided to join us and wanted to get a good look at everyone's fighting abilities.

"We've already memorized the layout and enemy positions, so what kind of strategy should we use?" Run asks Esdeath, who is looking at me with the excitement of wanting to see the power of my Teigu.

"JUSTICE!" Seryu was the first one to speak up, causing some of the Bandits to hear us and a few shouts told us that they realized someone unknown are at their front door.

"I say we rush in and fight them head on!" Seryu looks ready to bolt right there and then. If it weren't for Wave to stop crazy from beginning her slaughter in the name of justice.

Before Seryu starts this raid off, I walk forward while ignoring the shouts coming from the Bandits as I carefully adjust the weight of [Korosu] as I start using the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills]. This is something I trained myself to the point of mastering each basic movement that put together to form a sword skill.

Also, the reason why I haven't even mastered the [Iaido] until later on after training my little sister.

Just within a few meters from the enemies before my eyes, as I use both the [Flick Sword Form] and [Wave Sword Form], and combine it with [Shundo].

Both skills; well, one skill and personal ones mixed together perfectly. As I slice almost all the enemies' throats with [Korosu] and notice all of them didn't even make any noise after getting their throats cut. Furthermore, the light in their eyes has already disappeared Showing that they're dead before they could tell how they die.

[Flick Sword Form] is the sudden, sharp movement of the sword that pure on speed. One of the basic movements for [Iaido] and fast sword strike. [Wave Sword Form] is where moving the sword with a swaying or undulating motion while remaining fixed to one point.

Putting these two basic movements sword forms would at least become [Iaido]. Of course, if it wasn't for using the [Korosu] and [Shundo]. I would have added the [Sweep Sword Form] for swift and smooth movement along with [Cleave Sword Form] to balance the speed and power to make this into the [Iaido].

Looking at the blade of [Korosu], and there wasn't even a drop of blood on it and ignore the others around me as I look up my status to check how much EXP I need to level up to 10. With EXP: 220/51200 after killing the Bandits.

Now, that I have a very sharp blade weapon instead of using a regular old sword in the hunt a few days back in the forest. I could use my [Basic Movements of Sword Skills]'s power higher than it already is by using it with my skills I gained from other universes and together with the blade-type Teigu.

I gained a glint in my left eye after seeing my EXP, then rushed into the hideout to kill all the Bandits before the other Jaegers could kill steal of those EXP I could gain.

25 minutes later*

Almost the whole raid was similar to the canon, but with Seryu being a bit more crazy in killing the Bandits. To the point of being the main one to destroy the hideout until the whole place goes down.

The amount of EXP I gained wasn't that much after the rest of the Jaegers joined in the attack. Leaving me with EXP: 2010/51200. Not even close to reaching level 10 anytime soon.

However, I did manage to level up [Shundo] twice into the fight after using it together with my Teigu and [Basic Movements of Sword Skills], which I still wish for my Gamer's ability to turn into an actual skill to appear on my skills list.

Along with [Shundo], I leveled up both [Innate Time Control: Time Alter] once and [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] two times as well. Due to using both [Fireball] and [Conflagration] more than once along with my Teigu.

Thanks to Bols at the time, for creating big flames for me to eat every few seconds. Much to some of the others' shock at the sight of me literally eating fire of all things.

Sadly, I didn't have enough time to train [Eagle Vision] to level up after almost all the enemies are already taken care of. This included the other skills I didn't have the chance to use at the time because I wanted to save some MP just in case.

Of course, eating Bols' Teigu's flames would have solved that problem if it weren't for me to eat so much flames so quickly to the point Bols had to stop once done his share of kills.

I would be happy to create more spells for my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] at a lower cost than even the [Fireball]. However, not everything would go as planned when my MP capacity wasn't high enough to create those fire spells I wanted.

Sure, I could create a high tier spells for my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic], but I still end up with less than the right amount of MP to make the spell creation a success.

On the way back to the Palace; the members of the Jaegers, besides Esdeath, are staring at me with weird looks. Wondering what type of Teigu I'm using to be able to eat flames and move at high speed.

Wave couldn't take it much longer and decided to be the one to ask in the place for everyone. "Hey, Ragna what Teigu are you using?"

I glance back at Wave and the others, with Esdeath looking very amused right now, but a bit of disappointment.

Esdeath thought the [Korosu] would be more flashy or something, but she did see how it kills faster than [Murasame] with a single cut. Still, she would think the infamous deadly Teigu above the [Murasame] would show more destruction.

"The [Life Stealer: Korosu]." I replied to Wave and everyone else question what Teigu I'm using. I raise the said Teigu in my left hand for them to see. To some of them, they never heard of it, but to those that do. Were shocked beyond belief and even slow down to create a distance between them and me. Afraid they may end up losing their life force just by being near the infamous Teigu.

"Hey, why you guys slowing down?" Wave notice Run, Dr. Stylish, and even Kurome slowed down their paces. Even the spoil princess Kurome look very afraid at the moment. Dr. Stylish look like he torn between wanting to study the deadly Teigu known for stealing others' life force and getting away as far as possible.

"If you must know pretty boy. That Teigu he has in his hand. Is a deadly Teigu known for killing its wielders more than once and anything around them upon drawing it out. Furthermore, the First Emperor was the only managed to use the darn thing for a while until he sealed it away due to almost dying from it. Afterward, the Teigu wasn't used for years as many candidates that managed to draw it out halfway before they die by the Teigu absorbing all their life force before they could stop it. Also, to took some special tools to put the blade back into its sheath before the Teigu run wild and draw in the life force of its surroundings when its have enough time do so." Dr. Stylish explain to Wave, and trying his best not to let his impulse get a hold of him and lead to his death by just wanting to study the [Korosu].

"Wait, then how come he's not dying right now?" Wave wasn't completely convinced about [Korosu] being a deadly Teigu.

"Who knows, maybe the peasant have some way to stop it." Kurome replied to Wave's question, who looks like convinced enough to think it's a very dangerous Teigu, to even its user.

"Do you know the [One-Cut Killer: Murasame]?" Run asks Wave before Dr. Stylish started ranting again.

"Yeah, it belongs to one of the Night Raid's members. What about it?" Wave still didn't think this was related to what they are talking about at the moment.

"It's the prototype of [Korosu]. But the [Korosu] is considered as a failure due to how uncontrollable it is." Run simple reveals this little fact just to give Wave the idea how dangerous the [Korosu] is.

"Wait, what?!" Wave was beyond shock now, because he clearly knows that there is some Teigu being the prototype for other Teigu, with his being a good example.

"Now, you have got a good idea how we're a bit cautious of being near it? Because if not, I'll be disappointed to have you as a fellow team member." Kurome sneers at Wave, who looks a little annoyed by Kurome's rude comment.

"You guys don't have to worry about the Teigu killing you guys." Esdeath looks very amused at some of their reactions on finding out what her lover's Teigu is. "After all, if Ragna here didn't die just from fully drawing it out from its sheath less than half an hour ago. Then, what would make you think it would go for you guys now of all time?"

This was just enough for them to relax a little, but they didn't want to take their chances. Who knows when the [Korosu] decides at any moment to devour the life force around it and they just happen to be nearby. That would be a sad way to die in their opinions.

"By the way, is there anyone among you guys married or have any lovers?" Esdeath figure she should seek some advice from someone already have experience in marriage.

Bols raised his left hand, causing all of us to stare at him with surprise or just look at him with a dull look. Even I thought in this parallel universe, this Bols wouldn't be the one married and it would be someone else.

"I can't believe it with the way you look." Dr. Stylish said to Bols, as he flips his hair for no reason.

'Like you could talk about looks.' I thought to myself, and wonder if I should wonder what Esdeath would do after taking Bols' advice in love or marriage.

"Neither could I." Bols place both hands on his cheeks and look like he blushing if it wasn't for his mask hiding his whole face. "I've married for six years now! I really don't deserve someone as wonderful as that though!"

"I see. So what do you usually do with your wife?" Esdeath quickly brings out a small notebook and a pencil to write down her notes while glancing at me once in a while.

"Let's see. Make sure both sides are happy with each other presence and try your best to see if you could help the other in whatever they're doing. This could be a good time be with your loved one while doing something together. It could be anything, to be honest, but most of the time it could be just anything simple to helping or doing something you guys like together instead." Bols started off with something at the top of his head and this what he would usually do with his wife when he free from work.

"Oh, indeed. I see this could be something I could do with Ragna. After all, this was something I could have done a few days ago. If someone didn't reject my offer to help out." Esdeath glared at me for a few seconds before looking back at Bols for further advice to note down on love.

"I apologized more than once already! What else do you want from me? I've already said you can come with me to hunt tomorrow." I roll my eyes at Esdeath, who narrowed her eyes at me before looking back at Bols, for further advice in love.

"Well, another good thing to do if there some problem in your marriage like for example with you two at the moment. Why not just do it. By taking Ragna's offer to hunt tomorrow. This way you won't have to waste time being stubborn on who gets to be right and who was wrong. So both of you two could spend together at least happy to do something together." Bols quickly figure out the next things to offer in love advice for a couple like Esdeath and her lover.

"I guess that's true." Esdeath nods in agreement, "Doesn't mean I won't punish you later Ragna. Even if you tried to apologize by offering a sparring match with me."

Esdeath smile in victory once she saw her lover shiver once he heard she still going to punish him later due to not allowing her to come with him a few days ago.

"I don't know about who the one cooking, but if it's you, General. Then, I would think it is best if you find out what Ragna's favorite food is and how often you should make it. This way, he should be happy to eat something he likes and by someone special to his heart. After all, this is how I win over my wife most of the time." Bols rub the back of his head while trying not to look at the people continue to look at him.

Esdeath looks at Bols with a dull look, then a smirk slowly appears on her face as she looks at the corner of her eyes at her lover.

"Don't think you could win me over by just food alone." I said to Esdeath, who looks like she wasn't going to give up on having some way of controlling me a little.

2 hours later*

"Okay, you win me over." I said to the smug looking Esdeath, with a light blue apron on, as I just finished eating a great steak made from some danger beasts Esdeath got from the cooking department she got her hands on.

"Now, about that hunting. I think I know a better place to hunt danger beasts. Just you and me." Esdeath said with a smile before she walks back into the kitchen to grab the next plates for desserts.

The next day*

Day 9: A Sad Time

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

After last night's dinner and later a small sparring match between me against the rest of the Jaegers under Esdeath's orders. To show that even I, Esdeath's lover, can easily take on the whole Jaegers, by myself just to show who's the stronger one.

Well, I managed to defeat all of them less than a few minutes thanks to the [Nabong Needle Ryu] for me to easily bypass lots of requirements to use some pressure points. Furthermore, using [Shundo] to launch surprise attacks before they could react.

Wave went down first because I know I wouldn't be able to use the [Nabong Needle Ryu] on him once the [Grand Chariot] is activated, then he would be one of the troublesome opponents I've to fight with.

Run was the second to go down due to his Teigu giving him the ability of flight. And the only long-distance attacks I have on me was my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic]. Sadly, this would turn the sparring match into a death match if I use that.

So, I just throw Wave's paralysis body at Run, who caught him on reflex, which I took advantage of and use [Nabong Needle Ryu] to disable him as well.

After taking care of those that I would find too hard to fight with and not try to kill them would end up as a result of me losing.

Afterward, the rest was easy taking down with ease, but I did end up using up my whole MP and it's a good thing my original speed wasn't nerfed due to my Gamer's ability. Because I still find the stats not calculated correctly or I'm missing something.

Once the sparring match was over; Esdeath drags me back to her bedroom, where she cuddles me until both of us went to sleep.

Thanks to the sparring match, I leveled up [Nabong Needle Ryu] five times surprisingly and [Shundo] only once. I'm just short four levels in [Nabong Needle Ryu] before unlocking the 3rd Effect.

The next morning, both Esdeath and I spend our time together, and by that, I mean I had to help Esdeath torture a few prisoners much to my limited time of annoyance and force myself to help Esdeath. Since it looks like Esdeath actually doing those love advice Bols gave her last night.

Of course, I could have rejected this, but once I discovered what my 'punishment' was from Esdeath. I didn't do it again, and to my horror, the 'punishment' was worse than being tortured, which I was thinking she would do to me.

Sadly, she went for both physical and mental torture via forcing me to watch her eat the last night's steak in front of me while froze my entire body while leaving only my head free. Furthermore, she even far as wears an apron with no clothes underneath to give me the blue ball, literally after freezing me.

[Gamer's Body] and [Gamer's Mind] still doesn't work when it comes to Esdeath. Oh, sure, I heal in a matter of seconds with no injury to show up and only my HP went down. But, the sensation was still there before it disappears.

After Esdeath finishes eating the steak in front of me and even flat out told me I won't be having any breakfast as my 'punishment' after realizing how much I like eating.

Esdeath easily puts some clues together and figured out some of my weaknesses I never knew I had. Sure, I like eating, but that didn't make me feel defeated if someone uses it against me like what Esdeath just did. But, after gaining the Gamer's ability.

It looks like some hidden effects made me like this and I couldn't just eat when I know I don't really need to, but the taste was what got me. And this is how Esdeath is somewhat manipulating me.

But, I didn't find myself that much caring about it and I did find out that Dr. Stylish still went off his own last night and had one of his enhanced soldiers following Tatsumi back to Lubbock and Leone, then back to their base.

Even when there so many changes, there is still some part that can't be changed and Dr. Stylish following Tatsumi was one of them.

Sadly, this made Esdeath had to cancel the hunting today and order a search for Dr. Stylish whereabout.

Both Bols and Run reported on their finds in Dr. Stylish's Household and didn't find any pieces of evidence as to where he went off to. Pretty much same as canon, but with Seryu going further into the crazy justice land than she already is.

Almost the whole afternoon after we discovered that Dr. Stylish is likely to be killed in action, causing Seryu to be depressed for a while and did the same thing as her canon, including telling her own past while only saying the word justice at the end while laughing and crying at the same time.

However, what's the difference in this world and canon. Wave actually made it to Seryu to cheer her help instead of Esdeath, who was too busy planning a way to get revenge for Dr. Stylish's death and another trip to the Torture Chamber to release some stress.

'And once more, Esdeath forced me to come along to have a couple moment...in the dungeon. So much joy...' I thought with a hint of depression.

The next day*

Day 10: Some Secrets Can't Be Secret Forever

(The Empire: Central Region: The Captial)

From what I could recall, the next episode or chapter in the Akame Ga Kill is a month from now. This should give me a chance to train my skills and increase my stats by the time I face the Night Raid.

Which I clearly did, with Esdeath tagging along. It just happens that Esdeath decided today would be just us two alone and the rest of the Jaegers continue their duty of searching for the whereabouts of the Night Raid's activities and their next move.

On our walks inside the forest near the Captial. I was trying varies a way to create spells for my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic].

[Demonic Fire Creation Magic]:

Form: Explosion - MP Varies

Effect: Place a [Fire Mark] on target - 1 MP

2nd Effect: Cause [Fire Mark] to explode by a trigger - 1 MP

Trigger: User snap their fingers once - 1 MP

Target: Anywhere the user hit - 2 MP

Name: Critical Blast

DING!*

Calculating...

Form: Explosive - MP Varies = x meter radius

Effect: Place a [Fire Emblem] on target - 1 MP = REJECTED

2nd Effect: Cause [Fire Emblem] to explode by a trigger - 1 MP = REJECTED

Trigger: User snap their fingers once - 1 MP = REJECTED DUE TO 2ND EFFECT

Name: Critical Blast

DING!*

Failed in creating a spell for [Fire Devil Slayer Magic]!

DING!*

Failure in creating spell cause the player to lose 30 MP (1st Effect [10 MP], 2nd Effect [10 MP], Trigger [10 MP] rejected)!

So far, creating a new spell without making it a failure wasn't doing so good and I end up losing MP as a result of those failures.

If my MP capacity wasn't so small. I could have made the [Fire Devil's Rage], which is the equivalent to the [Dragon Slayer's Roar] and [God Slayer's Bellow].

Pretty much my lack of high [Mana] reserve is what stopping me from bringing out the full potential of the [Fire Devil Slayer Magic]. If I didn't have this problem; I would have been able to create multiple spells for the [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] by now.

I'm very tempted to just throw all my stat points into the MAG stat to increase my MP capacity. But, I'm still trying to figure out a way to increase it naturally instead of using these stat points.

I've already tried to empty my whole [Mana] reserve and wait for it to recover naturally. But, it didn't increase by a single point at all. Much to my disappointment.

I'm guessing this was a restriction to stop me from increasing my MP to the point of not having to worry about spamming high-level spells like no tomorrow.

Even Esdeath tried to help me with this problem by seeing if her methods could work for me. But, that only helped me increase my STR, END, and AGI, instead of my MAG stat.

Not that I was complaining about those free stat points in STR for two points, END for four points, and AGI with a single point increase.

This was still a good thing, because now with END at 18, giving me HP: 180/180. Making me a bit tougher to kill. Just a bit, but still an improvement.

Esdeath wasn't complaining when she notices how my stamina increased in our hunts. But, was sad to find out that I couldn't increase my MP; well, more like I show her the proof by casting my [Fire Devil Slayer Magic] often.

I still haven't finished deciding if I should tell Esdeath somewhat about Gamer's ability or not. At some point, I know for a fact that there still a chance Esdeath would tag along with me to travel the other universes.

If I keep my Gamer's ability hidden from Esdeath too long, then I may end up getting tortured as a punishment for not telling her this when she opened her own past for me and other secrets she wouldn't tell anyone else.

Furthermore, if I do tell her about my Gamer's ability, then she won't hold back until I only have 1 HP remaining and that's all she needs to find her stopping point before waiting a few hours to resume her punishment.

Thinking about it a few minutes while cutting down a few low-class danger beasts for those EXP, no matter how small it is. As long my [Korosu] got some life force to devour and EXP I could gather while stacking them up until I level up.

"Hey, Esdeath." I called for my lover's attention, who just finished implanting an icicle through a danger beast that looks like an ape's throat and out of their tailbone.

I pause for a moment to stare at Esdeath, who look very delighted at her work and return the stare back at me, waiting for me to say something after getting attention.

I put [Korosu] back in its sheath and hang it on my left hip, then close my left eye and took a deep breath before I open my left eye and stare at Esdeath.

"I have a secret to tell you." I said to Esdeath, who look at me with a blank look before she suddenly appears right in front of me and grabbed both of my hands before my reflex could react and attack.

Is what I would like to think, but after a few days, I suddenly discover much to my horror as my own developed over the years instinct against anything dangerous nearby to react and found out it's slowly disappearing when it comes to Esdeath.

"Yes, my love?" Esdeath ask in such a sweet tone of voice, that I would have been fooled if it wasn't the look in Esdeath's eyes telling me how madly she craved for anything related to me, and one of them happens to be my secrets had set her off. Esdeath even started crushing my hands a little at how excited she is.

Before I could continue off what I'm about to reveal. A group of Land Tigers slowly walks towards us at the corner of my eye and some of them even let out a threaten growl at us.

Sadly, for the Land Tigers, Esdeath did not like to be interrupted at all. Spikes of ice appear around us instantly and none of the Land Tigers are in sight. Showing how deadly Esdeath is when she not holding back from the start.

"Please, continue my love. What's this secret of yours that you're now deciding to tell me, your loving future wife." Esdeath whispers to me sweetly, as she releases my hands and wrap her arms around my neck and pull me closer to her until our foreheads touch each other.

Giving me a good view of her blue eyes, where she could clearly see my own left eye as well without any trouble.

"I may have-not spoken the full truth about my so-called powers of flames and the [Ultimare Eye], along with the whole pocket dimension to keep my things in." I started to explain some of my Gamer's ability to Esdeath while keeping the part where I have the [Gamer's Body] and just that my body continues to evolve each time I kill something.

This little fact was enough to drive Esdeath's happiness through the roof as she realized that I only require killing lots of strong opponents to get stronger without any limit that I could think of. Furthermore, I explain to her how I could learn some skills instantly depending on the books.

Because I know for sure there is a manga in this world due to Lubbock selling them in his bookstore. If I could remember correctly, that he claimed that he got many ideas on how to use his threads from the manga sold in a bookstore he owned.

As I continue explaining part of the Gamer's ability; Esdeath begins to become more excited by the minute. If she didn't have good self-control. I would think she would jump me by now. Like she did before two nights ago. But, managed to get herself in control by the last second.

Near the end, Esdeath looks close to fainting after finding out that her lover has the potential to surpass the limit of human beings without the usage of Teigu to help them out.

Then, I revealed that my [Gamer's Mind] is some kind of effect placed on me to help me evolve without having my mental state be destroyed in the process.

Afterward, I made it clear to Esdeath that I still am hiding some secrets about my Gamer's ability, which I made sure not to mention the word: Gamer. As some secret can't be revealed so early in their relationship and that I decided to tell her this now of all time, because the moment they get married, is the moment both of them may send to a different world.

Of course, Esdeath was suspect at first and wonder if I was messing with her until her own skills in detecting lies show I was being truthful. Which made her feel a bit troublesome because if what I said is true, then the moment they kiss at their wedding is where they leave this world for another.

"Are you sure the moment we're married. Is the time we leave this world together?" Esdeath wanted to be completely sure if this was true and felt a bit happy she didn't go through that list of hers. Once she got her questions answered about why at their wedding instead of something else.

Who wouldn't be happy to find out your lover is actually your destiny person to be together, but what Esdeath made her mad was there a chance of other girls in different worlds. So yeah, Esdeath was only happy for a while until the last part is revealed to her about the whole destiny girl thing.

Not that she wasn't happy, because now she got some clues on why her own feelings were so abnormal to her for days now. Besides the whole love thing, she is trying to experience with her lover.

"Pretty much, and I have no clue if we have an option to stay here afterward or just send straight to a different world." I shrugged at Esdeath, who clearly wasn't happy still about the chance of other girls she has to share with her lover.

Of course, the word: Chance made her come up with multiple plans to make sure those chance stay nonexistence because she does not like sharing what is hers at all.

"Let's head back. I want to speak in our bedroom, where no one could easily hear our conversation out here in the open. This is too important and I have no clue if there any hidden spies nearby listening to our conversation as we speak." Esdeath drag me back to the Palace and wanted this conversation to continue no matter what.
