10 Getting kidnapped

It was afternoon, Edina kept mopping floors and Serine had been spending her time on Valgurid's huge garden, Serine loved gardening, and she quite an enthusiastic florist herself.

Meanwhile Edina finished cleaning, she decided to do the laundry work, only to watch an unexpected sight.

"Aaahh, ZeRef" Celine moaned, putting Zeref's under garments onto her mouth, smelling them intensely.

This creeped out Edina, as Zeref just became 12 year old last week. Edina watched Celine, as she drenched herself.

Playing with her sexual regions while sniffing his underwear and his sweaty shirt.

"By the Gods, that women had gone nuts, disgusting" Edina screamed inwardly, disgusted by her actions, but being afraid to step in, she decided to leave her.

"If this women, is that much obssessed with Zeref, I wonder, how would he react to this? I must inform him, she's a pedophile" she decided to talk to Zeref, about the horror she just witnessed.

Stepping into Zeref's room, she knocked the door.

"Yes?" Zeref was interested in the arthematics of this world, being a keen student of math, he decided to do some puzzles to excercise his brain.

Entering the room, as she closed the door Edina had a serious complextion on face, which took Zeref attention.

"What happened, what's with that gloomy look" he asked, not knowing about the feeling she had.

"We need to talk, especially about Celine, she's acting strange" Edina said nervously.

"Celine? what did she do?" Zeref had no idea what was coming to him.

"She was sniffing...your unwashed clothes and jerking off to it" said Edina, rubbing her clothes profusely, cringed as she had to imagine that sight.

"Excuse me, what the f-" Zeref was confused, but then he realized, maybe she's sexually frustrated about him, being lonely must feel bad for her.

"It's alright, both of us have some common secrets, so it's fine I guess" Zeref said, affirming himself that, nothing was wrong with her. Maybe he'll eventually lose his virginity to her.

"No...I should set some boundaries, this is way too early" he thought to himself, as his sixth senses started tingling.

"What?" Edina was dumbfounded by this, she felt bamboozled for butting in their relationship, yet he was only 12 years old, it couldn't make sense to her, about why a kid like this, trying to protect that horny maid.

"Edina, bring her to me immediately" Zeref asserted.

Zeref's POV- "This isn't a good start, eventhough six years have passed, she should be aware that I'm still a kid, I shouldn't let that yandere flag grow out into something worse" he thought, hoping that she doesn't turn out to be a blood crazed pedo monster.

"Understood" nodding, Edina left the room.

"Zeref, how can you make her work for yourself" a voice, echoed inside his head.

"Well, she's useful and loyal to me, so I'll need to talk sense into her atleast" he said.

Celine enters the room, as she sees Zeref with a scornful expression on his face. he made himself look disgusted so that she'd feel guilty about herself.

"I heard from Edina, that you were upto no good?" he asked.

"Master that's.." before Celine could mutter up her words.

"I'm still a child, not even an adult, and yet you expect me to tolerate your behaviour? Do you know how absurd this is?" He said.

"I deeply apologize master, I won't repeat this action ever again" she replied.

"Repeat? no, never even do shit like this again, especially something like this" he says, as he face-palms himself with cringe.

"So what about all that you said, about you loved me and all..."

"I'm still a kid, I'll think about it if I'm old enough, now leave me alone, I don't want to see you here next week" as Zeref says this, Celine bangs the door, as she rushed out with tears.

"Welp, this is way too much, she loves you and yet, you're talking to her like that?"

"I'm still a kid you know, it's her job to keep boundaries" he said.

"I don't usually believe in reincarnation but, what were you in that past life?" she asked, judging from his past life's traumatic experiences.

"Just a random scholar from another world probably" he said.

"An otherworlder getting reincarnated? that's absurd, it has never happened before" Freiyel said, dumbfounded by his answer.

"Otherworlder huh? so you mean to say that, there are people like me from alternate worlds?" Zeref was quite taken aback from her reply, thinking that people like him are treated as monsters.

According to her memories, the mages summon people from alternate worlds, and put a contract on them, so that they could work like power slaves.

It takes 10 years to summon such heroes, but with temporal specialized mages, it's possible to reduce time from 3 years, to atleast 5-8 months.

"Freiya, I know about the number of so called "heroes from otherworlds" , are getting summoned there. But tell me, is this happening on other states of that empire as well?" asked Zeref, he wanted to know, how absurdly powerful they are right now.

"Unfortunately, yes, around the whole empire, there's around 1,000 people like them, and 30 people are summoned every 10 years. it's probably more harder for Axail empire to destroy Jehovich" she said, as the otherworld taskforce she had was 346 in total.

"Then the situation is dire, maybe I need to get a lot more stronger, Dein's power isn't enough to face 100 experts from another world, it wouldn't be a battle with 10 sages on the enemy side" Zeref said. The 10 sages or saints are the most experienced and extremely absurd powerhouses of Jehovich empire.

"How cute, aren't you afraid of my empire" she teased him, flexing her strength of the empire she was from.

"I'm quite amused rather than being afraid, because now, I can eat my fill, there's plenty of healthy meals to choose" said Zeref, grining as if he had a plan to consume the most powerful people of Jehovich. Which scared Freiyel.

"I have an idea! how about I disguise myself as you, maybe I would get some potentially powerful ones" said Zeref, excited to test his new powers on them.

"That's not a bad idea i guess, but don't go overboard" she said.

"Alright, then I should practice with your body" said Zeref.

"Practice with my what? you fucker" she was embaressed, worried about what he was going to do with her body.

"I don't mean it that way, honestly" he said.

"What are you going to do with my body" confused as she asked.

"Shapeshifting, it's kinda painful now, I need to master it as much as possible" eventhough Zeref had Dein's memories and power, he hadn't mastered those skills.

With Arthur's training, esper sense, mana sense and some of his basic martial art moves, are the only techniques he know.

5 days passed by, Zeref finally managed to shapeshift into Freiya in a much faster time frame, from hours to minutes, then to seconds.

Through meditation he became capable of using all of her powers. Freiya was an ice mage of immense mana energy. She had yet to master her own abilities.

"I guess it's time to meet your family, right Freiya?" he said.

"Wait, did you mean, you're going, right now?" she was worried about her family.

"Yes, and I'm pretty sure you have a close friend there, who's quite tempting" Zeref was refering to the female Sage of 8th rank, Jeanne Rudous Elaina, also known as the dragon knight.

Her abilities were draconic in nature, The sages are usually powerfull, since have their masters died in some illness, making them liberated to grow their mana as much as they want. Freiya doesn't know much about Jeanne's origins.

"Are you sure you can take on her? she's tough enough to kill any powerful demon lord" Freiyel stated the obvious, as he couldn't beat her.

"Maybe, but not tough enough to outwit me being as Frieya" he stated.

"I won't let you-" Freiya said, worried about Jeanne.

"Really? you said it was a great idea to take on potentially powerful ones, and she's one of them" he said, without any hint of disappointment or disagreement.

"Fine" Freiya agreed, defeated by what he said. Hoping that he would die at her hands.

"Atleast you won't be alone inside me" he comforted her.

"Yeah, I would be glad to have a company though" she said, visibly chuckling at him, which send him red flags through his head.

"You're planning on something aren't you" said Zeref.

"hehehe..nothing" giggling at him, it was sure that she was upto something bad.

At evening 5, Zeref and went outside secretly without Celine noticing him, but at the same time, she was going outside for shopping groceries.

Yesterday he made a seal on her, connecting her with him, so she could talk to him telepathically whenever he loses her.

"Where are those Dein worshippers" he said, as he walked slowly in search of them, while he wore a thick scarf, he could've used his shape-shifting powers because he was exhausted, but not everything goes accordingly as planned, Celine noticed him but suddenly a mage assassin snatched him from behind.

"ZEREF" she screamed, it's as if she knew it was Zeref himself standing there, rushed towards the assassin who kidnapped him, both of them happened to use wind magic, to travel on flight at better speeds.

"Oh shit she noticed me, why is she here...wait a minute...what's happening?" Zeref tried to comprehend the situation. The mage rushed into a place, between two blocks when suddenly.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE" Celine attacked the assassin with a huge fireball multiple times in the sky, Alas, 4 years of training finally paid off. sadly the last one was blocked by two fellow assassins on sight.

"wha-" Celine was in shock, as one of them punched her on the face with an artifact. She flung 50 meters destroying the concrete, then she woke up again and, used air magic to fly towards Zeref on great speeds.

The mage who caught Zeref, used a small magic orb wand, to fire lightning spell, brutally hitting her, as she fell with subsonic speed, it gravelly injuring her, so she can't speed up for a moment. as the assassins took her to somewhere else and tie her up in rope.

The two assassins proceeded to strip her but luckily her divine protections got activated, as her injuries got healed. Celine became concious about the situation she was in , Astonishing both of the men that tried such vile acts.

"you, dare to steal Zeref from me" she said, using air magic from her hand gesture, to cut one of the man's limbs.

"Arghh" he screamed, as she stood up, the other man stabbed her on the back, she felt a terrible pain coursing through her, fortunately she was able to withstand it. but the pain was still unbearable for her.

Another guy in front, who lost his limb, used the knife to charge towards her, with one limb he manuvered at great speed, only to get stopped by her hand.

Celine was now furious, not only that she failed to protect Zeref, but now she realized how weak she was fight enemies like them.

With bloodlust in her eyes, she decapitated the assasin infront of her, using her hands to cut the head. The other one at the back, ran away as soon as he saw her decapitated his friend, although he was too late.

"YOU CAN'T RUN" she screamed, horrifying the man, Celine used fire and wind combination, as she sliced his body, diagonally with her hands.

"I'm sorry....shouldn't have done that, Zeref, can you forgive me atleast once?" she said.

"please forgive me, I'll get stronger and I'll never do that stuff again" her knees fell, as she started crying because of her own failure to protect him.

Meanwhile Zeref was trapped by that mage's arms, who was sent by Vahn Trildigor, as he was hoping to manipulate the Valgurid family to work for him. Although the mage assassin, didn't expect the sudden turn of events, as they reached outside the kingdom, flying towards Jehovich continent.

"This touch, and a slender body, it must be a women" thought Zeref, as she looked at him, Zeref grinned at her with absolute pleasure. as if he was hungry to eat her, this scared the mage. Dein's instincts still run inside him.

"Wait, Zeref don't tell me, you plan on taking her too?" Freiyel echoed in his head.

{Zenith hand}

She gets pulled by a telekinetic force, which fling her towards the ground at jet speeds. Releasing a massive explosion of displaced soil, stones and dust.

Zeref lands on her with high speeds, making her seriously injured by his impact, intensely coughing up blood. Zeref smiles at her, and then he says.

"Do you serve for Vahn Trildigor now?" as he removed the seal, judging from Dein's memories, he knew who he was, the seal which was kept on her, was easily recognisable.

"Wh..what?" confused as to how he removed the seal, expecting her death she remained silent

"just tell me, do you serve for that man?" Zeref asked again, she couldn't believe whatever that was happening to her

"I w...wa...was summoned here to do my du...ties, I'm simply following orders" she said, being out of breath.

Zeref healed her, but then used Zenith hand, carrying her to a secluded place, hiding from any adventurer's or monster's sight, he demanded her to strip off her clothes.

"Outragious why should I strip off my clothes here, in the middle of a Jungle" she asked.

"If you don't want to strip off your clothes, then I'll just crush your skull" Zeref intimidated her. She was forced to strip, as he strips himself.

"So you're going to have sex with me? you're just a kid" she said, doubtful about the child's power to shapeshift himself.

"Sex? you think I am buying you for that?" as he said that, Zeref used Ferguidel's Lust to absorb her, she was shocked by the power he possessed. A mere seconds later she got absorbed. Then Zeref assumed her form , as he proceeds to wear the clothes and equipments she wore.

"What did you do to me" the mage echoed inside his head.

"I became you, now Freiyel, just talk to her for a while, I have some buisness to deal with" Zeref said in that mage's voice.

"Ohh wait, let's check your memories now" Zeref skimmed through her experiences and past trauma from her own world. The world she was from, lacked superpowers, but still the people were always greedy, and humanity was just as corrupt, as the same from his past world.

The hierarchy still existed for rich and poor, so he didn't find it any different from the one he used to live as Jordan Cage. Superpowers felt like an extra, to him it wasn't necessary for his own world.

"Maybe, human nature is dark and twisted after all" he thought, realizing that nothing will change, as there won't be an ideal normal life.

"Damn, you were bullied!!" Zeref asked the mage, about her past life as a high school student, who got bullied for being awkward and yet pretty good looking.

"Yeah, pretty much" she said.

"I just know your name, but we haven't met personally, so, lets try introducing ourselves, I'm Zeref from Valgurid house. And what about you" he asked her.

"My name is Yuko Sayumi, and I used to be a highschooler 2 years ago, before getting summoned here" she said, with a blank tone in her voice.

"Hey Yuko-chan, I'm Freiyel Herdin, the 2nd princess of the Herdin state" said Freiya, proudly introducing herself.

"What, even the princess?" Yuko was astonished by it.

"Yeah, pretty much" Zeref giggled in Yuko's voice. Freiya told her about how Zeref got his powers, and how she was eaten too. She even explained about Zeref's past life.

"you are like 32 years old, dude seriously?" Yuko said, feeling bitter and disgusted.

"Yes, I'm just 12 years old in this new world" he replied to her.

"So, you like eating girls huh?" Yuko said, her tone of voice felt disappointed, To Zeref it felt like she was treating him like a garbage, most likely a total filth.

"... it's not my power, and I don't like it" Zeref remained silent, ashamed of himself, as he inwardly cringed. Freiyel was laughing at his reaction, because she felt his frustrations and embarrassment.

"Cope and seethe" Yuko scowled at him, Zeref ignored them both, as he decided to make a clone of himself, using sand magic by combining the mana around him, forming a condensed mana of sand statue which resembled himself.

"Hope this works" he thought, changing his index finger into that of himself, injuring it slightly with air magic, as blood dripped on the statue, a small magic array formed, intangibly passing through the statue, changing itself to a living creature. Creating a perfect clone of himself. Then his index finger changed back to which Yuko had.

"Come on, lets meet him, just wait for us" he said, as he laid arms around the clone's body. using flight to manouver, following the route towards the Herdin state of Jehovich.
