Nina's diary:

Hi, my name is Nina and I'm 22 years old. Since I'm an elf and I live in a place called Aeternus, I have grown, in human standars, to about six and a half year old. Apparently we have to compare to human growth for some reason. I learned how to read and write two years ago and my life has gotten interesting. I have read many storybooks that mom gave me.

Oh, and I call Mary mom because she is someone that I think is my "motherly figure" or so the servants say. The moment when I called her mom made everyone stop what they were doing for a moment and think for what just happened. I was confused and asked them "can... can I call you mom?" Which made mom put her thum up and say "Absolutely you can!" Which surprised me. I'm happy that she allows me to call her mom. She acted very strange couple of days after that for some reason.

I have asked about my real mom several times and none of the servants told me an answer. When I asked mom to tell me, she said "She was a bad person who hurt your dad and many other people. But don't worry, just because she was bad, doesn't mean you will be bad as well." I was thinking a lot after that and I felt relief when mom told me that I wont be a bad person. I must keep up to make mom proud!

I also have a dad that is my actual dad. He's not around as much as mom, but I don't blame him. He has lot of work to do outside of Aeternus. I hope that one day he will take me somewhere far away. I want to see many things, but I'm still bit scared of leaving this place. But to be honest, I'm a bit lonely without dad. I understand that he must go, but I just want to keep him here a while longer each time. I understand that I can't but... I will be a good girl and let dad do his work.

Then I have Low. She spends lot of time in the barracks where I think they play knights. I haven't actually seen what they do, but what I heard made me not want to go there, incase Low decides to make me take part of they games as well. Other than that, I think she is awesome. She comes and plays with me lots. She does some illusion tricks and she theaches how to do my own illusions. I'm apparently gifted in illusion type magic. Low is also funny how she talks every now and then. She promised to take me to faraway places when I get older. I can't wait.

I also have my own maid Piri. Or is she a nurse? I can't remember. Anyways, she helped me read and write when I was just starting and now I'm pretty good. I have some trouble writing some words, but I think I manage to do most of them. She also taught me manners. Apparently you need to have some manners when going in a high sosiety gatherings. Or so I heard. I will soon have to go to one of those gatherings myself, which makes me a bit nervous. But as far as I have heard, I've been doing fine in my studies.

Then I have couple of friends. Mat, Leo, Yin, Oscar and Diona. They all have grown much taller than me by now, but we are still friends. Though it is hard for me to join in many of the games, since my body is still small. Though I don't mind since I'm physically bit on the weaker side. Yin is super smart and she has teached us many things about logistics, since her dad is someone who does that for his job. Mat is bit of a hot head, but he is very honest. One time when Oscar said something mean to Diona, Mat puched him in the face. He got into trouble later thanks to that, but he and Oscar later made up with each other. Leo is the most athletic of all of us. Probably because his mom is one of the top soldiers in Atlas. Oscar can say some mean things sometimes, but he really means well. He is just bit awkward. Diona is a daughter of a tavern owner. The tavern is apparently pretty famous for adventurers so she has to help her parents sometimes. The mean thing that Oscar said to Diona was that he didn't think working on tavern contributes much to this society and they should invest for something else. Or something like that.

All in all, everyone seems quite protective towards me for some reason. Even my friends. Am I just that weak? I have asked this many times and most of them say that I shouldn't worry about it. I currious though. What makes them do that? I need to investigate this further.

But today I will go to a famous person's son's 20th birthday party. Apparently they are a child like me. I wonder though why must I go? I'm not important. Is mom important? I hear that servants aren't something that normal people can have. Maybe she is an important person. I must ask her later what her work is and is it important.

...

I went to the party and it was hard. I had to stand and introduce myself to each person that came to us. Mom didn't seem that bothered about it, but I just know that she finds this bothersome as well. We had to greet a boy who was a head taller than me. For some reason he started to blush when I introduced myself. I wonder why. He even acted strange later at the party, asking me many guestions. Some of them were just weird. I mean, he asked what kind of food I like to eat in the morning. I answered that "I'm not a picky eater, but a light salad would be nice." He was, for some reason, sitting next to me the whole time I was there. When I tried to go eat some sweets, which were the best thing at the party, he insisted that he will carry my food. I don't get it. Why didn't he take that time to take and enjoy some of those sweets himself.

After the party, the boy asked me if I would like to come there more often. To which I answered that if he has some good books on his shelfs, then I would like to come. He said that he had some books that are super interesting and I should come and read them with him. I decided that it might be fun, so I went and read a book with him. He was a bit slow reader, but I didn't mind that much. He seemed very into the book we were reading. I then said that we should read different books, to which he seemed reluctant at first, but later he seemed quite happy. We spend the day doing that and when it was time for me to leave, he said "You are welcome here any time you want. Just say the word and I will let you in." So I left. What a weird boy. I will surely visit some days.

I also found out that my mom does some super awesome stuff as her job and she is very important. She told me in detail what she does and I said "I would love to grow up to do the same job as mom does." She smiled and pat my head for a moment and said "If that's what you want to do. I will teach you one day how to do it in detail. Just focus on your current studies and you'll do just fine" I smiled and said "That's a promise then." I must study hard so that I'll be able to help mom.

...

Dad came today to play with me, which I'm super happy about. We played word games, hide and seek, chess and many more things. I even beat my dad in chess for the first time, though he is still far better at word games than I am. Later mom joined in, which is rare for them to play with me at the same time. At word games dad got us both beat, but at hide and seek, mom dominated. At chess mom also was the winner when she played against me. She didn't even bother playing with dad, which I would have loved to see. But in any case, today was super fun day. I hope I will have as fun days in the future as I had today.

Mary's Journal:

(Translated from code)

Today is like any other day. I have tried to gather dirt on the pope with no luck. I have trouble using my agents, since pope has eyes on everything. I'm sure that he has planned to do something with wine industry, but I have no leads as of yet. The pope's supporters are giving me a hard time. They might be suspecting something so I must slow down for now before they have any proof. I'm requesting more assistance from the founder but even she is telling me that it is wise to slower the pace and stay hidden for now. My patiance is running out but I must stay vigilant.

...

Today we were summoned by John Carton. The most likely candidate for pope's position. He said that he will go for a pilgrimage. Are you insane? The pope is trying to get rid of you and that's the perfect time to strike. And these people that pope insisted on joining him are undoubtably pope's assassins. I can't do anything to stop this. Damn.

...

Today I had a chance of heart. This Nor that went on the pilgrimage with John Carton helped us to clear the golems in the area. While I had my doubts before, during and after the battle, since the one he was supposed to escort wasn't there. I asked him and he gave me information that I didn't expect. They were colluding against the pope. I was unsure at first, but when I followed the lead to the Eye of Aeon, I was convinced. They were my allies. I must play my hand carefully now so that I don't mess this up.

...

Yesterday was a good day. We got that bastard of a pope arrested. I don't care what he has done for the world in his early days, he became a scumbag in his later years and I couldn't forgive him for that. While reading the documents that the, and I'm glad to be able to say this, the former pope left us, I found many things of interest. Plagiarism, ecstorsion, plain theft, slave gambling and many more crimes was found. Not all were plain as day reports, but you had to read between the lines and find the true story. Now while I'd like to say that my job is done, I'm still far from done. I have to clean up the mess that, I still can't get over it, the previous pope left us. I will send a message to command and hear their thoughts, but I can guess that they will keep me stationed here for a long time. And honestly, I don't mind. I've gotten used to this atmosphere and I feel bad leaving our new pope to fend for himself. He isn't bad pope, but his kindness is causing us lot more trouble than you would expect. In the end, I'm thankfull for Nor and his companion Aktor for this. Mainly Nor.

(Translated from different and harder code)

And this is something I just simply must write. I kind of have the hot's for this Nor. Aaah, I said it now. I can't deny it. Something how he acts makes me tingly inside and I have hard time keeping my composure. I must not lose my composure. I'm all kiddy even when writing this. If anyone ever finds this and is able to translate this, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you. Only exception is Nor, but he isn't someone who I expect to be able to translate this. If you are Nor, sorry about that comment. Now I must return to work. Get a hold of yourself Mary!

...

(Normal text)

Today I met up with Nor in the marketplace. He was buying a huge quantity of Aetherium. I wonder why he needs that much. I was currious, but since it was Nor I think I will let him be. Unless it's some other woman, in which case I will be super annoyed to have helped him in that. If it's just a job, then I see no problem in it. Speaking of women, while we were at my favorite cafe, Nor had a Raven named Rin on his shoulder. It was so cute when she flaped her wings. I think this wasn't any ordinary raven though. I had a feeling that she is something far more. But again, I didn't question much about it. And it appears that Nor has visited many demon realms in these past few months. I was almost left speechless and started thinking "he's got to be joking right" but I managed to keep my composure and he kept on talking about his travels. I was so inriqued in his stories that I almost forgot my original purpose in the marketplace. I informed Nor of what I was doing and soon after that I returned to work. I hoped that we could have talked more, but duty calls.

...

Today Nor brought me something troublesome. Oh behold, the holy maiden of immortality Low. Gods I had lot of paperwork thanks to her. And the way she acted was... the smugness... I can picture that childish face taunting me even as I write this. On the more serious note, I think she is a good kid. Or is she a kid? She looks like a teenager but she wont age more than that so... I don't know. Let's just call her a kid now. Nor seemed to be very appologetic about all of this. Which he should! Something like this usually happens in terms of years, not days! Argh... I will need some rest soon for all this paperwork. But if I stop doing them now, I will have more work piled up. The cycle never stops I tell you.

...

Today Nor and Low came to ask me about the priests of the one who dreams. They seemed quite serious about solving the issue I had so I send them to their current base in Atlas. To be honest, I was bit reluctant to do so, as I lost many good people to their grasp. Many have investigated them and none of them came with anything to report. I don't know for sure, but I belive that something happened to them so that they wont tell me anything. In any case, I hope that those two will turn out fine on their mission.

...

I had done a terrible thing. Thanks to my slow actions, Nor has been raped by the leader of this branch Rihin. I needed just a couple of more things to be in place before I launched the attack, but I was moments too late. And what they both been through, I can't but appologise to them. What was worse is that the leader Rihin got pregnant with Nor's child. I haven't informed this to him as of now, but when he comes back... if he comes back, I will tell him. What can I do to make up for my mistake? One way I can think of is take care of the child once they are born. I will not force Nor to be a parent to his child, but if he is so kind as to accept them, then I will be happy. Or so I hope I will be. I can never get this quilt away from me.

...

Much has happened and now the child has born. She was named Nina, after one of my agents who was found dead on one of the missions when handling those cultists. Luckily Nor accepted her as his own, so I'm happy that we can raise her together. Kind of like a family or something. I wonder if that would be possible. I decided one of my maid called Piri to be Nina's nurse for the rest of her employment. I'm thankful for her help.

...

The golem war is now announced over by that damned Felix guy. We have lost many good people because of him. I'm left bit empty after he just announced his defeat. We got no confirmation of if he was punished or not. Later I heard from Nor that he got some kind of punishment, but he wouldn't tell me what kind of a punishment. How he knows is also something I don't know and he just told me tha "I was there when it happened." But still, I'm glad that it's finally over. Now it's time to handle the aftermath of this war. Which consists of lot of metal traffic, provisions and infrastructure.

...

It's been 22 years now that Nina was born. She has grown to be such a cute little thing. The day when she called me mom was the best day of my life. I almost lost my composure when she asked me if it was okay to call me that. I was running that high for many days after that happened. Even Nor was happy for me and he hugged me a bit. It's almost as if we are... no, we really are a form of a family. A weird family, but a family nonetheless. Piri has also done great teaching her how to read and write. I teach Nina whenever I can, but it's mainly done by Piri. I'm glad she takes her job seriously. Today Nina told me that she wants to help her mom work when she gets older. I was so proud of her when I heard her say those words. I'm so happy to be a mom.

Stella's diary.

(Writen in a very stylish manner. A scent of roses can be smelled from the ink used)

Today matks the day when I became a southpoint. I have done this for a year now since my master died, so I have gotten used to it. Or so I would like to say, but there is way too much work. Don't they see that I'm trying to better my arcane knowledge when I'm locked away in my tower? Honestly, those common folk don't know how to show respect. At least the high class people know how to ask properly.

Revon has come here personaly to lecture me about the importance of our job. I know what I signed up for you idiot! No need to come all the way here to lecture me you junky! I know what I'm doing! Then he had the audacity to invite me to a festival that is held by some lower class people. I had to act up and say that I would come, even though I really didn't want to. I didn't have a choice since I ought to respect my elders in this field. I hope that it wont be a total waste of time.

...

These couple of days have been... how would you say this... humbling. I still think that I shouldn't have had to come here, but thanks to the things that I saw, it wasn't that bad of a trip.

I met someone who had a pretty soul. He seemed quite dedicated to his fights and he had a good form. While I innisially thought that is just a common way of fighting, I was bit worried when I saw him fly to the seats. Without thinking I proseeded to heal his wounds, but when I heard that moron Revon coming, I decided to get out as fast as I could.

Later when Revon and this guy fought, I sat next to this Nor person. I thought talking to him a bit while Revon was busy was a good choice. But while we were talking, I noticed that those two were moving at amazing speeds. Something that even my master couldn't do. I mean, she and I were both fast, but those two were on another level. I thought to myself while taking to Nor "if they were my enemy, could I defeat them?" And when the match was over I disappeared so that Revon wont notice me.

Later I found that Nor has gotten similar tatoos than we points have. I thought of leaving then and there, but I decided against my better judgment to join in with Revon and Nor. When we were talking, Nor introduced me to an amazing mage that far surpassed my master's abilities. Master Lexonor was something that was truly humbling. To ever reach his level, I must study harder. Or so I thought, but Nor gave me good advice to not neglect my work and try to still improve. Which I of course would comply with, since it was a good point that I haven't noticed. Revon then took me away to go for a hunt for some troublemakers. I was inisially trying to leave the whole place to get back home early, but Revon got me off guard and made me tag along with him. I will never forgive this.

All and all, the festival ended up being worth going to. After all, I found my first... Never mind.

...

Now that this annoying job was done, I can finally write this. I was on the hunt for some dragons who were causing havoc. Then I found Nor with some woman named Low. She didn't look as pretty as me, so I let it slide. They were looking on to some cultists that I figured could be the cause of this. Because our goals aligned, I gave them the opportunity to tag along. Of course only because it was benefitial to all of us.

I got to see them fight, and both seemed to handle the dragons in good fashion. When we got to this one village, I immediately figured that something was wrong, so I decided to investigate. I found that they were stealing dragon eggs. They were controlled by some illusion magic, so I had to handle this carefully.

Then I did something really embarasing and tried to sleep with Nor. Aaah... I could die of embarasment. Luckily he accepted to sleeping together. JUST SLEEPING! NOTHING ELSE!

But then when we went hunting the cultists, Nor started acting kind of strange. He even started to attack me. How dare he! After we shared a bed! But later he appologised, so I may forgive him. I'm just worried of what happened.

Later he told me what had happened. I was shocked to hear what he said. He was... assaulted by a woman. Then... if he was traumatized by that so much so that he would go berserk, then how does he feel when I'm next to him in a blanket. He told me that it was bit difficult, so of course I gave him some free space so that he can feel conftorable. I don't want to remind him of the acts that vile woman did to my dear Nor. I hope he will get better.

When we met up with Low, we had a whole other problem with the baron. It was so annoying that I wont even bother writing about it.

Then Nor and Low asked me to help with their training in space magic. Which I of course did gladly as I was the southpoint. The great mage of the south. Nor seemed to have some trouble when Low had an easy time matering it. I expect great things from Low.

Then it was our time to split up. Aah, I will miss these days dearly.

...

The golem war was finally over. The amont of things we have lost is insane. We even lost the westpoint and we are now left with some punk who thinks he got what it takes. I wont approve him before he shows what he's got. Though he did perform pretty well during the war, but that is not enough to impress me. He seemed annoying to talk to since he was pretty open about his feelings. He even admited that he has "hots" for me. At least use proper language you punk!

I'm more worried about Jane. She is having some kind of illness that is slowly killing her. She wont admit it and says that she will be fine fighting, but I know that this is something terminal. I made a promise, alongside Revon, that we would take care of Lily if things got bad. To which she just smiled and said that she will be alright.

Now it's time to get our stuff together and start rebuilding. I'm no leader, so I let the remaining officials deal with this. I might have the inteligence, but I wont trouble myself with petty things like leadership of the people. Though I will help with the rebuilding part, since we are short handed now that so many have died.

After all this devastation, I hope that we can move on and rebuild. Of course we can mourn, but I hope that it wont consume us.

...

It's been a while since I last wrote. Lily has grown up to be a brave little gall and I'm starting to get bit old. Not too old. I'm still in my early 30s. I need to find a pupil soon. Not because I'm old! Just because life expectancy in this field of work is getting quite close.

As for Jane, she is now resting in her hometown in east islands. She lived couple of years after the war, but she couldn't properly do her job, so me and Revon held our promises and helped her out. Even though it was bit of a bother, I still am a lady of my word.

But when will I meet Nor again I wonder. He has gone and done some jobs in Ihm but he hasn't really talked to me directly. Perhaps I need to put a notice on somewhere he might go to, so that he might visit me again. But what I heard from him after the war, every place was devastated quite hard. I hope that Felix got what he deserved.

Low's Diary

(The writing is a bit messy, but you can tell that it was carefully writen)

Hello me. I have now learned how to read and write to the point where I can write my own diary. They told me that it should help me better my writing when I write in here. It makes logical sense that it does. My days have gone as follows. Wake up next to Nor, eat breakfast, go and do the days agenda, be it studying or training, eat some more, train or study more, eat more and go to sleep. Often during the training we go and hunt magical beasts in the forest. It is easy taking care of them, but Nor told me that I should not mangle their bodies too much so that their parts can be sold. I don't get what this "lux" is, but I heard that it is important to have some to give others and getting something by return. I don't still fully get how it works.

...

(The writing is much better)

I have made a friend called Amber. She is fun to chat with and play with. She isn't that much of a... how do you say it? ... Athletic Nor says. Weird word. Anyways, when we chat we talk about the books we have read and "fantasise" about them. I don't get fully what "fantasise" means, but Amber told me that is what we were doing. I also hear her complaining about her weaknesses, but I always tell her that she is going to do great. Or something cheerful like that. I don't get that part either. Nor just told me to do so if someone looks sad. He said that it will strengthen our relationship.

...

Lot has happened. I witnessed many horrible things. This Delirus person. He is something that shouldn't exist. He torments people because it's fun to him. I don't get why he would do such a thing. It makes me feel horrible. Why doesn't he feel horrible? Lex told us that he was born wrong, but I don't get it. I just hope that I could have done something to help them.

Delirus also has a weird obsession over me. Nor said that I should stay as far away from her at all costs. I will do as he says, but I will try to stop Delirus whenever I can.

...

We did some horrible things. We killed a lot of innocent people. Just thinking about it makes me not want to eat. And something happened to Nor. Rihin, the superior in the branch of the priests of the one who dreams, did something to him. They say that it's rape, but I don't get what that was. What were they doing? I get it that Nor felt terrible after it, but I don't know what happened. They have tried to tell me that it is a way to make babies, but I still don't get it. All I can do is try to support him.

...

Finally we got rid of that lunatic Delirus. Well, at least for now. When Nor told me that it was best for me to stay out of this, I felt a bit disappointed. But later when Lex gave me the permission to enter, I found that Nor was on the edge of dying. It was good that I made it in time. The journey there was difficult, but I made it there in the end. Now I can rest easy knowing that the lunatic Delirus wont come back for at least 100 years. But when she returns, I don't know what to do.

...

I went on a trip together with Nor and Aktor. It was fun and I learned a lot from Aktor. Didn't expect the fact that he would know so much. He tought me what kind of wood is good for crafting and what is good for a fireplace. He tought me what kind of berries were poisonus, even tough they wouldn't affect me. He gave me some advice on my hand to hand combat. Some tricks even grandfather Relse didn't know about. I heard later that grandfather Relse wanted to come along too, but he wasn't there when we decided to go on this trip. It was also fun because we didn't have any objective on this trip. Well if we had to have an objective, it was to travel where we wanted to and have fun. And I had fun. I think.

...

It's been a while since I wrote. I visited my father today and we spend some time together. When I asked for him to pet me, I wasn't sure what I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised that it gave me a similar feeling that I got from sleeping with Nor, but not quite the same. At first I wanted to act as a spoiled child, since I heard it was fun, but when I forced my father to comply, I felt bit weird inside. Like something didn't feel right. In the end, I was happy that I got some affection from father.

We also visited Atlas and played with Nor's child called Nina. I never knew that small children could give me this kind of funny feeling. Later Mary started acting strange and requested me to take care of some golem in the area. I went there and took care of it. It was bit tough but I could handle it.

...

The war... I didn't know something like this would happen. I mean I knew that people like Delirus existed, but for someone to wage war on the entire world. I wanted to stay in Atlas the whole war since Mary and Nina was there. I mean, I did want to be at Lech't A Sol as well, but I decided that since Nor was there, it would end up fine. And then there was Siel'Kel there as well, I almost forgot. I never been this exhausted in my life. I'm glad that it's over.

I also heard from aunt Rahasia that Aktor was Creation. Grandfather's brother. She told me that I shouldn't tell where I heard it from for some reason. It was a bit weird, I heard she would only give information if you give her something of equal value. Is she planning something? I need to be careful.

...

Nina has grown so much. Well, at least in my oppinion. First she was a little ball that I could hold with only one hand. Now, while I can still hold her easily with one hand, she has grown to a small boulder. Am I making sense? I think I'm making sense.

I asked Nor if I was making sense, and he said it was close enough. If that is what Nor says, then it must be good.

Anyways, she can now read and write. I have fun talking about books with her. It gives me the same kind of feeling I had with Amber.

I miss Amber. I think her death has taken a toll with Aktor as well, even though he might not admit it. I admit that I still feel sad when I think about the moments I spend with her. There is also a warm feeling, but also a sad feeling. I don't know how to explain it.

Over all, life has been easy for 16 years. I still have trouble communicating with some people, but I'm getting better. We also have gone to take hunting jobs with Nor, to keep our senses straight. I heard that he is planning on finding Fafnir's treasure. I told him that I want to join him, but he said he wants to do this one alone. I thought of following him in secret, but Lex told me that I shouldn't do it since I might actually get stuck. I suppose there is no helping it then. I will stay and do other stuff on the mean time.

Fafnir's journal

(Writen in a very old fashioned way. It's bit hard to read)

Finally! I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I must thank for that mortal called Nor. Perhaps a rat is bit too little of a title for him. He is promoted to a dog now. I wouldn't have minded moving on and becoming part of the circle, but I was unable to, and for that Stoor must pay. I'm still too weak to confront him, so I must first build up strength. I decided to blend in with those puny worms to start with. Who knows, maybe I will meet some dogs or wyrms in my trip. I took on an appearance of a small demon with no horns, some demon tatoos and a tail. My ears looked like thay were from an elf, but it was common for demons to have that type of feature.

I decided to teleport to a small town that seemed to be briming with trade. It had machines that I never seen before. Most of the buildings had a pipe coming out of them in some ways. Some even had multiple pipes. I wonder if those dogs have learned something interesting in the past few millennium.

In any case, I went to a place called "hunters guild" to get more valuables. They all looked me like I was some kid. It made me consider if all of those worm should be demoted to amoebas. The reqister woman was also rude to me and I was almost considering to punish her, until another woman came to her and told her that she should still be proffesional about it. That other woman got promoted to a rat. The one that I was dealing with told me to measure my mana. I was bit torn weather I should do it or not. I decided to go along with it and the people were shocked to see my mana. It broke the whole machine appart. Some even thought that it must be broken. It seems puny mortals have no idea how apex predators like me roam in this world. The woman at the reqister called for her manager to asses the situation and I was pulled to a meeting room. I was getting unpatient and I told that there was nothing to talk about. The manager then told me that it was either his way or no way. As my pride as a dragon would not allow it, I decided to leave the hall. Then people started to stop me and telling me I was being childish. With a single glare, I dispersed them away, but the guild master came from somewhere and told that he had heard everything. He told me that I get a permit to take on the quests as I like and all I need to do is put my hand on some device. When I did so, they gave me some card which they called my guild card. It told me that my power was unmeasured, but I didn't bother worrying about it. Now I got a permit to hunt some puny beasts for me to create profit.

My first hunts went smoothly. I hunted over 100 wolfs, some of them were great wolfs. Then I hunted a horde of goblings that was told to be high ranking job. Then I hunted some brat of a dragon who thought she could break some havoc without consequence. I took care of her, since this was my territory now. A little brat wasn't even worth much in terms of lux. I got a pretty small sum of money and I went back to my lair. I recieved some glares from the people there. They seemed to be that of envy. Of course they would feel that. I took away many other people's money right under their noses. I don't care since that means I get even more money for my treasury.

I mean, I could just create lux with the sword of creation, but the thrill of taking something away from people would go away. I still use the sword to gain more lux in the mean time when I rest. I don't need to rest, but I think that I must stay away for nights to appear as if I'm sleeping. No one knows who I am or where I am sleeping. I must stay out of other dragon lords territory for now, or else I might get destroyed again. What kind of treasures they have gathered in all this millennium? My mouth is watering just by thinking about it.

...

Next day I went and took a mission to hunt some bandits. They seemed to be some kind of threat to the town, so I took this opportunity to give myself standing in some important people's courts.

The bandits themselfs didn't match to my power in the slightest. I didn't even need to use my void magic. What a joke. In my time, bandits had some kind of trick at their sleeves. Now they are just common worms standing in my way.

I was then scouted by the lord of this town. He called me and requested me to be one of his soldiers. In which I answered in a strong no. I'm one of the dragon lords. Even if the sum is good, I should not bend to someone elses lordship. He questioned why this is, and I answered that I can't because my background. He said that he is disappointed but understands. So he told me to leave. What a waste of my time. Perhaps I should rob his treasury.

I noticed that I was being followed by some cockroaches, so I went on a empty alley and prompted them to come out. They did so and immediately attacked. They were pretty easy to deal with, but one of them got a scratch on my face, so I decided to punish them by using my abyss magic. I was so furrious that I almost used void magic, but since I didn't want to destroy the whole place, I went with abyss magic. This magic is perfect fit for mortal souls. Abyss magic is my personal magic that no one else can do. Void magic is also something that almost no one can do besides myself. Only other person that I know can use void magic is Magic themselfs. Nonetheless, I used my abyss magic to contort them into some hideous beings in body and soul. They will suffer for the rest of their miserable lifes and afterlifes. I wrote how my magic works in case I forget one day and I'm left reading these later.

They made one horrible mistake. Don't mess with Fafnir. The dragon of the deep. The first dragon lord. The dragon lord of avarice. The dragon from the abyss. The dragon lord of the abyss.

Anyways, I found out, while using abyss magic, that they were sent by the lord. Now it is settled. I will capture the treasure that this town lord holds. I will let those who don't intevene survive. But those who point their weapons at me, I will show no mercy. Even should they surrender after.

I hope that this gives a little insight of the people who were in this. I think I might use this type of writing in the future.

I will explain later how abyss and void differ from each other. However, when this is, is unsertain. It is something that I, at first, accidentally wrote, but I figured out how I could use it later on. So anything that comes is related to abyss is created after this point. So that means, Fafnir became dragon lord of the abyss in this very chapter (meaning it wasn't planned before this).
