I’m quickly yanked out of the crazy lady’s arms by my bodyguards who pull me into their midst while surrounding me as Vincent says with a hint of warning in his voice, “Clan Head Amaterasu, please keep your impulses under control.” The woman pouts at me for a moment before turning her gaze to the guard, the gaze shifting to a cold one in the process that has shivers running down my spine. And when she speaks this time, I swear I hear thunder striking somewhere the moment the first word leaves her…-

The two of us walk through the halls of the palace in silence for a little while until we reach a hallway covered entirely in windows on one side overlooking a garden. Likely the garden she’s taking me to. But right as we’re walking through the hallway, I feel a sudden surge of some sort of energy flash outside, and along with it I see cracks beginning to form in the air. I’ve heard of a lot of Fractures forming throughout my time here on Tartarus, but this is actually the very first time I’ve…

“Why did I have to do that?” I ask with a scowl on my face after we finish the portraits and I immediately take off the damned dress they had me wear for the formal portrait as opposed to my armor in the battle-ready portrait. “Why couldn’t I have just worn a suit or something?” If I had to wear something formal, I’d much rather it be a suit than a damned dress. But she wouldn’t let me. Just forced me into the thing without a care in the world. “You could have, Your Highness,” Raiden…

Gramps smiles at me before walking over to the balcony and opening the curtain, revealing ash-covered mountains outside of whatever large castle we’re inside. A castle that from where I’m standing as I walk over to the balcony myself, looks to be of an Eastern style. Or at least, Eastern in Earth standards. “Your fae told me which clan you decided to head to for access to a better hunting grounds, so I just brought you there,” Gramps says, making me feel a tiny amount of fear. Especially when I…

After checking each of the skills’ descriptions, I find that the only ones to have changed are Pain Diffusion and Blood Regeneration. Pain Diffusion can now diffuse up to sixty percent of the pain, and I only have to feel half of the pain in the next week after using the skill diffused through the week instead of all of it. Blood Regeneration’s description simply changes to change the word ‘significantly’ before the ‘increases the natural regeneration of the user, both in terms of life energy and…

A frown replaces the grin on my face when I hear a cracking sound akin to glass shattering. Huh? I blankly stare at the System Error notice for a few seconds before I ignore the message prior to it about me possibly having lost my sanity as I mutter out loud, “What’s the age of etching?” Oh. Wait, doesn’t that mean- My thoughts are interrupted by a dinging sound and the sight of a Universal Notification appearing in front of me. Wait, I’ve never heard of someone getting an etched skill slot…

Seraphina feels real fear as she rushes over to Her Highness, the blood of ruin having begun to drain into the sandstone beneath them, turning it into red ash before all five of the Princess’s bodyguards, herself included, immediately begin using their blood magic to heal her. But she knows that even with their help, reattaching two arms and fixing all three of her hearts is too much for them to handle alone. Nothing but panic fills Seraphina’s head, and she quickly notices the same looks on the other…

Out of the corner of my eye, I find the bodyguards all tensing up from the entrance to the room alongside Tar. But none of them are moving despite that, which has me smiling slightly. Then the drake charges towards me. Well, now or never. I activate Blood of Ruin. And to top it off, I release all of the blood in my blood storage as a flood towards the drake, pushing it away to build some distance between us. Then I sit back and watch as droplets of blood are torn from my body, making me grunt, the…

The fireball launches towards me right before I jump far backwards, leaving the blood orb where it is and making the fireball explode against it. But the explosion continues past it, heading straight towards me. I grimace before using Blood Retribution the moment before the flames strike me, making me let out a scream of pain as I feel burns across my entire body. It’s not just me screaming though, as I hear the drake letting out a roar of pain once the flames dissipate, leaving me kneeling on the…
