"Manationia! Manationia!"
"…"
"Manationia! Hey!"
"…"
"Manationia!!!"
"…"
"MANATIONIAAAAAAAA!!!"
"WHAT!?"
"Hurry up."
"I am moving as fast as I can! Without actually tiring myself in the process… Looking for wild beast is not easy!" sighed Manationia.
"Eh…" sighed Octo.
As of now, the morning of the next day had already came and Manationia and Octo slowly made their way into the nearby wild forests.
Usually the people wouldn't visit these places as they preferred to delve into the Labyrinth and hunt monsters there, but Manationia didn't had such an intention, she had heard bad things about monsters, some of them being that they could even use abilities and magic, so she preferred to hunt wild beasts, which were just animals.
They didn't gave out precious and useful materials such as Magic Crystals, but they still had good things you could get from them, such as their meat, fangs, claws, beaks, skin, scales, feathers, and so on. Before discovering the Labyrinths, the people of this race hunted mostly wild animals and made all sorts of equipment with their materials.
So it was obvious that even now, hunters that just hunted wild animals were still valued and seen highly. So, Manationia decided to come practice magic with Octo-chan in the wild forests.
After she reached this place, she realized she was being followed by shady people, but quickly realized they were just thugs that were always in the slums, no more suspicious than that.
"Manationia, the thugs are right there! Nice! Use your Undead to kill them." Said Octo-chan.
"Octo-chan, I am worried about becoming more and more insensitive about killing people, is this really okay?" sighed Manationia.
"Of course its fine! It is completely okay to kill people!" said Octo.
"Eeeehh… I don't know." Sighed Manationia.
"What's not okay is to kill people that is innocent and nice, these thugs are just assholes to the core, they had brought so much suffering to other people that nobody is gonna miss them." Said Octo.
"T-True…" sighed Manationia.
Manationia sighed as she stood there, a band of three thugs showed up right away, looking at her with cheeky smiles.
"Gehehe, little girl, why are you around these areas?"
"Let us help you out go back home."
"Those are so nice clothes you got there."
"Um… If you guys appreciate life you should go away for now… I don't… really want to kill anymore if possible." Sighed Manationia.
"Huh?"
"Is this little bitch threatening us?!"
"Alright I am going to slice her throat!
"Ah, here they come…" sighed Manationia.
"Come on! Fight like a real girl!" said Octo. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂
"Ugh…"
Manationia sighed as she expanded her shadows with a mere thought, from there, a trio of Undead jumped out.
Usually, Undead would be very weak after recently being raised, they wouldn't even have the same strength as they formerly had.
However, these Undead were obviously different! They were raised with tons of mana from Manationia's immense reserves, alongside her perfect affinity with Death… even without any System.
"OOOOHHH!"
"AAAAGGH!"
"GAAAAHH!!!"
The three Undead leaped out of her shadows, startling the thugs.
"D-Did she use magic?!"
"W-What are those?!"
"They look insane!"
The Undead jumped over the thugs, although they were stabbed by their knives, they didn't seme to budge and ultimately massacred the three with brute force and strong bites.
"Uegh, stop! Don't eat them…" sighed Manationia.
The Zombies quickly stopped moving, as they obeyed her.
"Phew…! You guys are going to really give me a massive headache!" she sighed.
"Now, Manationia, rise them!" said Octo.
"I guess…"
Manationia quickly ordered the corpses to come back to "life" as Undead, and she added them all into her Shadows once more.
Now she had 6 Undead! Her army was slowly rising!
"Nice, now kill more bad guys and make them your Undead, you'll need a lot of soldiers." Said Octo.
"Agh, I want money." Sighed Manationia.
"You can get money easily if you learn some more magic spells. I am pretty sure you can always just make more gold ingots too." Said Octo.
"But that's unfair! And it feels empty, I want to do it for real, not cheat and flood the economy." Sighed Manationia.
"You're overly capitalistic for a simple farm girl." Said Octo.
"And you talk too much for being a little guardian spirit!" sighed Manationia.
"Hehehe, well that's how we keep things going, it would get boring if I don't speak a lot." said Octo.
"…"
Manationia ignored Octo as she continued foraging the forest.
Walking around the beautiful and verdant wilderness, she felt like just napping below a tree and forgetting about everything else in the world.
However, she really couldn't do such a thing. Everything around her was changing, she was realizing there was something dark behind this entire Duchy, and that for some reason, they were coming for her head.
She recalled her parents, and began to miss them. She had come all the way here because she wanted to join the Singers Academy, but at the end, nothing was truly coming true at the end, and now she was involved in way too many shady things…
All because she got too much from power from a magic apple that two gods leisurely gave to her.
Of course, she wasn't the type of girl that would blame someone for everything, she decided to use this very power that could be the reason of all these problems to resolve them too…
But she had to practice first.
"Alright, I think we are in a pretty good spot! Now, Manationia, let's start the magic classes!" laughed Octo.
"I am not so sure about this, Octo…" she sighed.
"Don't worry! We'll get through this together! I was made to help you out, girl. We are going to solve the problems of this place, and then, you can have the peaceful days you want." Said Octo.
"Really?" asked Manationia.
"Yeah, its all part of the plan." Said Octo.
"T-Thanks! Then I will do my best!" said Manationia.
"That's the spirit! (She's so easy to convince…)" laughed Octo.
