Chapter 3: Side story: Regret nothing, anything goes Theresa POV
TW: Somewhere near the end of the story it would mention/talk about forced prostitution which is just essentially rape. And would have a character do self harm and attempted suicide. And would mention grooming and pdf.
I woke up and found myself in a test tube, I heard a group of people talking but couldn't fully hear the conversation. But I know one thing and that those bastards that called themselves my parents are behind this, they already have power why do they want to get stronger. They are the richest and strongest people in Thailand, we're so influential that we control the government. The family is blessed by the 3 main Hindu gods, they literally have everything in Thailand, so why, why are they doing this to me.
[a@#er w$'ve co%^lete thi& ^&*eriment, @^r fami!* w#ll b@ ev%n str*ng#, ^&u'll und#^&ta#d, r*#ht? Ariya] said dad
As I slowly close my eyes and the world is slowing turning black. I'm starting to reminisce the past and my incompetent family. I've done all of the paper work and managed all of our money so they don't just spend it all on useless crap. None of them know how to properly make people follow them nor know how to make rules. I did everything for them and this is how they treat me.
*Boom* I heard a loud explosion in the distance and heard people screaming and what appears to be a fight going on.
when I opened my eyes, I see a tall blond women in front of me. She proceeded to break the glass and free me.
[My name the Theresa Beaumont, I'm here to save you, oh pitiful soul] the blonde told me
[what's your name? oh young one.] Theresa asked. Even though I was confused about her weird speech I answered [Ariya. Ariya !@#$, I'm 9]
After the whole incident Theresa saved me from my crappy parents, Theresa became my mentor. Even though she didn't want to be my teacher saying that revenge is not the right path, I managed to convince her to teach me with the help of my sponsor, The Divine Throne of Time. My life with her was peaceful.
Until one day when I turned 18 she never returned, and all of a sudden my sponsor appeared in front of me and said [oh yeah, you're the new holy maiden now and because of that you now have to use the name Theresa]
[WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?] I yelled at him
[1. I haven't done anything to her, 2. she is safe, and 3. she ascended to godhood because the one-sided fights she has always been in was getting boring.] he calmly replied back. [Now do whatever you want, I honestly don't care, as long as you entertain me.] He added on
He then proceeded to "give me a push" and told me to "explore the wider world", and I replied [I'm not leaving, until she comes back!].
[what do you want kid. Money, fame, power, uh never mind that you already have those. Uhhh, OK I've decided, I'm going to make a new divine law just for you.] He replied back
[divine law? what's that?] I confusingly asked him
[It's just a law that effects things and a minimum it would only effect one person but at maximum it effects all of existence. Now what do you want kid. I can make a law that makes people of what ever gender your attracted to always fall in love with you. And since I'm the strongest god I can make the highest divine laws.] He answered back
[First of all, Ew on that law and second of all, since you already know everything about me, you should know that when I fall in love with someone, I'm never sexually attracted to them and when I'm sexually attracted, I'm never romantically attracted.] I told him
[THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT WOMAN!?!] He angrily asked
[ The @#$% group, my blood family, erase their existence. And punish the gods who gave them the powers.] I asked him
[Oh, that's easy. I will erase them from existence by killing of their origin and I will get my daughter, Alice, to torture them, deal?] He asked
[origin? aren't we the "origin" as told me once] I asked
[well kinda. All humans native on this planet are original humans but an origin is basically the founding head of a clan or family and only extremely strong people have origins, and killing of a origin is like removing the roots of a plant off of the soil and cutting off the roots. but instead of wilting, the entire plant disintegrates in a matter of milliseconds.] He answered
[WAIT, WOULDN'T THAT KILL ME AS WELL!?!] I yelled a him
[Pfff, no since your my sla- I mean contractor so you will be protected] He answered
wait? slave? has he been seeing me as a slave the whole time?!? whatever I'm to tired for this shit. [fine... deal.....] I reluctantly said
[ alright kid-o, see ya] he said while waving me goodbye
And so I reluctantly set of and my destination is New York City, the hell hole. and the only reason why I'm going there is because he said that "it will help be grow even stronger super fast because there are tons of psychos there". And after 10 days of walking I heard an argument over a distance,, so I immediately rushed to see what's going on.
[WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU WASTE OF SPACE. HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO BRAKE MY CAR.] yelled, what looks like a rich and very pompous girl.
[I'm so sorry young miss but this isn't your car it's you fathers. And I almost to that wyvern.] said the distressed butler
[YOU COWARD BEHIND THE CAR WHILE I EASY KILLED IT, WEAK PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD JUST KI-] she was yelling until I interrupted her [ hey brat, you should be happy that he's even alive since you don't look like you can drive legally.]
[AND WHO ARE YOU?!?] she yelled
[my name is uhh T.] I said giving her a fake name
[WELL T, I AM ALTHEA GREED. THE DAUGHTER OF THE GOLDBLOOD FAMILY] she yelled
[Goldblood? that super rich family? Also if you're a Goldblood why is you last name Greed?] I asked
[It's because I'm their adopted daughter since my adoptive mom couldn't get pregnant and also the Greed family is the last name of the hero that saved the world. A commoner such as yourself should now about all of this] she said finally calming down.
[I can fix the car but in return bring me to New York City. Deal?] I asked
[If you have a skill that allows you to do that then deal.] she replied
I used my creation magic to try to fix it but since mine mainly focuses on weapon creation I struggled to fix it. [*panting* done. now bring me to New York.] I tiredly said
[ugh, fine hop in, your lucky that we are also going to New York] she said
After a few hours of driving we finally reached New York, and it's as dreary as it looks. the city looks extremely dull and it feels like a ghost town even though there are a lot of living here. It's probably because these people are dead inside and they know that they would die at any point. Which brings it to the real question why are the people living here. And I would later find out the reason why, and the reason is that rent surprisingly cheap and the wages are good.
Apparently the city almost became bankrupt because of the previous mayor, who made rent extremely expensive and wages extremely low. And because of that there was a coupe and brought the mayor down. Well not a coupe but it was a team up between the special police and a detective agency called Daybreak:Nightfall and they both are official government agencies.
After a while me and Althea, walked our separate ways, but apparently she doesn't like me at all. And she told me [I hope I've never get to meet you ever again. And next time we meet I will be stronger than you]
which was strange since I wasn't even flexing my powers to her. My theory is that me having creation magic might have hurt her ego by a lot. Plus it's not like I like her, in fact I despise her. She is just a spoiled rich brat who is over her head, she reminds me of my family. Having lots of power but they don't help people with their power and bully other with it.
After a few days in New York, learned two things. One is the fact that the old before merge New York is like 25% to 100% smaller than the current New York and the size grows every day, which is unsurprising since the merge has made it so that the planet expands with heaven and hell, which the both expands infinitely because of the increasing population. And Second is that there is a red light district here and most of the sex workers are either kidnapped victims, poor people, slaves, or being blackmailed to do these. And the only reason why they can get away with this is because of foreign disputes. Specifically, getting rid of the red light district will anger the German government since the one that controls the district is a German emissary. Or so I've heard, so the most logical thing I can do is to....pretend to be a slave and be sold at a illegal slave auction. And it was surprisingly hard to be kidnapped and be sold as a slave, it took me a couple of tries but I was successfully working in the red light district.
I found out who the German emissary was since he was so brazen about everything that he did, he is Anslem Von Kaiser. The uncle of Otto Von Kaiser and it turns out that Anslem is a massive moron. Mainly because he talked about what he calls his "villainous schemes" right in front of me and was bragging about it. I basically sucked it up until it was the right time.
[Hey, slave meet your new friend] The moron says to me while throwing a girl at me.
The girls in front of me seems to be from East Asia and she looks battered and tired, it looks like she's at deaths door, after the throw the guards left the room and I took the chance to heal her.
[Hey, are you alright?] I asked her
[不,不是真的] she answered
Oh, she's Chinese. Wait how did she even get here, from what I've remembered China closed of all of its boarders, no one can enter or leave unless they are royalty.
[um, do you know English or Thai.] I asked her
[English, ok] she replied back
[My name is T, nice to meet you. what's your name?] I asked
[T, lair. Name sound fake. Won't say mine.] she replied
Well yeah the name would obviously be fake. actually why did I assume she would be dumb enough to fall for that. I replied back with [Sorry, my real name is Theresa]
[Name is Tianlóngnü, nice to meet you. You simpleton] she replied in perfect English
[SO YOU DO KNOW ENGLISH] I yelled
[yeah, obviously. Since I'm form the Chinese royal family. You should know since my face is plastered everywhere] she replied
[what do you mean by that. Also why are you even here?] I asked
[Because of the news channels that broadcasted my face since I'm a run away princess and the reason why I'm here is because I got kidnapped like you] She answered
[I let myself get kidnapped, so I can destroy it from the inside and also why did you run away? And how did you manage to escape from China? And how did you get kidnapped?] I worryingly asked her
[Jesus, that's a lot of questions. 1. I honestly don't believe you. 2. Because I hate it there, the palace I mean, since everyone in the palace except for my eldest brother hates me. 3. Me and my eldest brother tired to escape but he got caught and I didn't, I tried to help but he told be to run and not turn back. and 4. the assassins my siblings and parents sent, I managed to kill them all but I was extremely injured and then i got kidnapped.] she replied and continued [also thanks for the question, it helped me relief some stress. And sorry for being rude.]
[no, problem?] i confusingly respond back
And for a few days I waited for her to regain most of her strength back to we can team up and destroy this entire district. But we bonded over our shitty childhood and made fun of our shitty parents.
10 months have passed. Originally I thought it would take a few days. But apparently the damage was more severe than she imagined. Also the main reason why I decided not to attack with in the 10 months is because, I realized how strong that moron Anselm is. The guy was genuinely extremely strong, so I've spent the entire 10 months training with lóng. Even though during the ten months we had to pretend to be weak and because of that. We essentially had to work in a brothel and its not a pleasant experience at all, I was was annoyed at the sex work, since I didn't care that much about it. But lóng cried about it, it really hurt her and I tried my best to comfort her, since it traumatized her. And she hated how she couldn't so anything because if she fought back, she knows that she might be killed by that moron.
And because of that she tried to kill herself multiple times, but I always heal her because I didn't want her to die and I truly cared for her. And she started to realize that I didn't want her to die to instead to cope with everything her started to harm herself to try of forget everything. And one day she suddenly confessed her feelings for me, which I accepted, but I did like her platonically but if I reject her, I don't know what she would do.
And I've also learned more about her family, specifically her eldest brother during her multiple mental break downs that I tried to calm down. First that they both care for each other and understood each others struggles. second is that he is a frail man but is the strongest out of all the family members. third is that, he was groomed by his mom, well more like her mom matched him with adult women. And he was raped daily to the point that he hated all women except for lóng, who he cared for.
And what I would describe as Stockholm syndrome, I slowly began to like her romantically. But also during the time I've discovered something concerning about her, which is that she would fall in love with anyone that she would consider her hero. Which is the category i fall under somehow even though I was just trying to be a good friend. But she does have some cute sides to her. And yup it's Stockholm syndrome, I've managed to fall in love with her.
and after a few day, we were ready. She gained back all her strength and we also both got even stronger. We broke out of the cage that we were trapped and and freed the others that were also trapped in here. We mercilessly killed all of the guards and we've reached the morons office and he was sitting there and said [my, my what rude slave I have. since you've disobeyed me, I'LL HAVE TO KILL YOU ALL!!!!!] he calmly said and then proceeded to yell.
The three of use proceeded to fight.
[「arrogant red dragon king's arts」] lóng said as she covered herself in flames. She proceeded to rush towards him and land a few punches on him but was taught and was thrown against the all.
[SHIT, 「Creation Magic v2: cube of creation」] I said while summoning a cube that can turn into any weapon that has ever existed. The cube instantly turned into a weapon called 「the oath of a saint」. A massive cross shaped weapon what easily blew Anselm's arms off but got destroyed in the process.
lóng eventually got up and started using dragon magic at him. He somehow managed to block some of the shots but most of it hit him and he got injured.
We fought for a long time and it was like a war of attrition, until me and lóng managed to back him into a corner.
[YOU HAVEN'T WON YET, SINCE I'M ANSELM VON KAISER, A MEMBER OF THE KAISER FAMILY] he manically yelled
[AND HERE IS MY TRUMP CARD, 「VAMPIRE-ZATION」] He continued yelling as he started to grow wings and his skin slowly turned pale. His teeth started to grow longer and sharper. his nails grew longer and his eyes turned red. He began to fly into the air and started to use blood magic and sent it towards us and started cutting us.
[Shit, lóng are you ok?] I franticly asked her
[yes I'm fine, hurry up and heal] she replied
[「DEMONIZATION: CHIMERA 」「ORIGIN MAGIC: POWER TO TERROR 」!!!] I yelled. My head slowly turned into a demonic creature that looks like a lion, and my arms grew a demonic tiger's claws, and les turned into a demonic cheetah's legs and they combined together and increased my light and creation magic potency. And the magic I casted made 「oath of a saint」 and the weapon proceeded to heal and buff us, while casting light magic and firing at Anslem. And also started to summon a pistol called 「agni's judgement」, essentially a small sun in a shape of a pistol. After 10 seconds of blasting, the bastard is still somehow alive and barely standing.
[phase....2.....get.....*cough*...ready.....] He said while getting up and his wounds slowly but surely healing
[OH, HELL NO 「DRAGONIZATION: EASTERN」AND 「ORIGIN MAGIC: ELEMENTAL DRAGON EXTINCTION」!!!!] lóng immediately replied. She grew horns and a tail and it increased her overall magic potency. And the blast was so big that it, erased him from existence. Like no traces of him can be found.
[WE FINALLY DID IT, WE KILLED THAT BASTARD] lóng excitedly said and then grabbed my face and kissed me.
[ahem...sorry to bother you. But my name is Otto Von Kaiser, the leader of Daybreak:Nightfall.] the tall unknown man said
[Also, don't worry, killing him won't upset the German government, since he was never an German emissary to begin with.] Otto continued
[So he lied] I said him, and which he confirmed my statement
[So, you're that guy's, nephew are you here to get revenge] lóng asked
[Don't worry, Otto hates that moron] I told her
[You are correct on the fact that I don't like him] He said. [but you guys have acted outside of the law] he continued
[So are you going to arrest us] Me and lóng asked
[No, absolutely not. I'm here to recruit you. Will you join Daybreak:Nightfall?] Otto asked
[sure, why not] We both agreed
[then here is your helmet] Otto said while handing it to us.
Mine looks ugly and it's separated into 3 parts a hawk, a lion, and a grasshopper. It's obviously based on the fact that I'm a chimera. While lóng's is simple and elegant and the helmet is a eastern dragon. And these helmets now will be our guide to be a hero.
