Hello fellas,
I've written and deleted almost a dozen chapters while crafting this story. There were different routes Bane could have taken to hone his skills, and at one point, I wanted to add Merraid Oreburg to this fanfic.
If you've read Akame ga Kill! Zero, you know just how much of a overpowered character Merraid is who can easily fuck up anyone in just seconds, second only to our sadist Esdeath and our female protagonist Akame.
Merraid was the heir of the Oreburg clan, the most famous and feared assassin clan in the Akame ga Kill! Zero series. They believed and worship in the god of death, and Merraid has been trained in the art of assassination from birth.
Due to her exceptional talent, she is a figure to be feared. She even challenged Esdeath in her childhood and went toe to toe against her but lost due to her reserved nature.
One important thing to note is that Merraid is a homosexual girl with no qualms about sleeping with anyone, including her enemies, if there is any chance she will sleep with them in an attempt to lead them to the 'true path of happiness' from her perspective.
She wholeheartedly believes every woman should be a lesbian and that men should either die or be at her feet, begging for mercy—though she will not grant it. The only exception to her disdain for men is her male butler, though she is also quite harsh on him and only remembers him when he died.
So, yes, Merraid is a lesbian with extreme views about gender and power dynamics and because of her strength, I had decided not to include her, as it would disrupt the power balance.
Because of that I have almost deleted 5 chapters from my google docs. However, I have one draft that I was going to delete but decided to upload instead, given the effort I put into writing and editing it. Consider it a "what if" scenario, exploring what might have happened if Merraid were alive.
Thank you, and enjoy the chapter.
[ MERRAID'S POV ]
Hmm,
Where am I?
'.....'
Why am I feeling dizzy?
I am sure I should have been dead by now as Akame had already sliced open my stomach with that sheigu.
Ahh, truly, until the end, she was so beautiful and so powerful that I became heated up by just the thought of her.
If only Akame had joined me, I could have taught her more about the 'True path towards happiness'.
What a hopeless person I am, still thinking of Akame, even though she had killed me.
Barbara was right. I am truly helpless against beautiful flowers and my infatuation with them will lead me to my demise.
Because of my infatuation with Akame, I made mistakes which I would never have made, even in my dreams.
But what's done is done and I can do nothing about it and just wait for the oreburg to collect my soul.
'.....'
So am I in the embrace of 'Oreburg'.
Are Cassandra, Gilberda and other girls also dead and are in the embrace of Oreburg?
Knowing those Imperial a*sholes and Rakshasa demons, my girls should have already died, except a few who have managed to escape alive.
'....'
What a bitch I am. Because of my actions, my guild and clan members had to pay the price. Because of my selfishness, everyone had died.
'......'
Hmm, but what is this squishy thing that my arms are grabbing from a while ago, and these curves?
If I am a spirit, then I should not be able to touch things, right?
So why am I feeling this soft texture?
Could it be that I am still not dead?
Is Akame still embracing me at this moment and waiting for me till I die?
Perhaps these soft buns are someone's ass? But these are definitely not those Akame's or any of my other girls that I have slept with till now.
Am I being carried like a rice sack by someone?
This person's build is more like a smaller version of Akame, but this build still holds considerable power just like her.
I can't even open my eyes to see this person or move a single muscle in my body except for my dangling arm, which is holding these soft buns due to using my Trump card and heavy blood loss,
This person should not be hostile to me because if she wanted me dead, I should already be in my grave by now, so she definitely is someone who wants something from me.
Looks like I will have to wait till I recover my strength from the terrible side.
…..Until then, shouldn't I just enjoy these soft marshmallows? Ahh, this heavenly feeling. I haven't sensed this texture and heavenly smoothness in any of the girls I have slept with till now.
PAHH
Ahh, it seems she is not a submissive one, fu fu.
[Pov end]
.
Inside a cave where a single lantern was illuminating its surface wall, three figures were embracing each other.
Mera was patting the heads of Cassandra and Gilberda who were sobbing while keeping their heads on Mera's shoulders.
Mera's clothes were tattered and hung loosely on her skin because of using her trump card and the two girls were also wearing tattered clothes in which there were various cuts and scratches because of the intense battles they have fought a while ago
"We are sorry Madam Mera, we could not give you more time to flee." Both Gil and Dora said to Mera.
"You both did a great job in stopping the enemies. It was just that the bastards had caught us all off guard and it was my mistake to not see the big picture."
Mera said as she hugged both the girls even tighter in her embrace.
After Merraid calmed down the two girls, she turned her gaze towards the person who was at the corner of the cave while the person was cutting her own dainty arms from the wrist section which seemed to be already cut before by someone.
It seems her palms have been cut by Akame's sword due to which the person was cutting her own hands by the wrist to stop the flow of blood.
But Mera also should have been cut open at the stomach by that sword on my stomach. Why does her stomach go back to normal?
It is as if her skin has been never grazed by a sword, which should be impossible.
It seems the person in front of Mera was responsible for her recovery. She doesn't look familiar.
Why did the person save her and her girls, even at the cost of her life?
She wanted to ask the personal person's name?
But all Mera could do was to wait for the person in front of her to finish her job.
The person in front of Merraid was wearing a black demon mask with a long black ragged coat which had teared at several places during Mera's rescue, that gave away that this girl has risked her life while saving the three of them.
The slim girl was not even flinching while cutting her own arm, which showed the pain tolerance level of the person and
Mera's senses were telling her even if the girl was busy on her own task, she was ready to retaliate with any attack that would be directed at her, which was proof that the person in front of Mera had been trained by military standards.
'She definitely is powerful enough to have saved three of us from the whole Rakshasa demons and the elite seven squad by herself' Merraid thought to herself.
But still, how it can even be possible as it was just one person who was against many and she had to also carry Both Gil and Dora all by herself during the whole fight.
Even after she escaped with Gilberda and Cassandra, it should be impossible to get away with the Rakshasa demons present as their senses are honed to extremes like me.
As the girl finished her task, she walked towards Merraid and stood at two arms distance from her.
Merraid stood up along with Gil and Dora followed suit to meet the girl's gaze.
"Merraid Oreburg" the girl's melodious voice inside the cave and Mera's were wide open listening to the girl's melodious voice.
At that moment, Merraid felt like she found another love in her life, like Akame.
Truly, how hopeless she was against the worldly beauties.
