Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 187
Advertisement
The Demon Barracks, near the location of Bladeheart and the others.
The commander demon that is currently doing some of the plans to take over the surrounding villages is currently doing some work on the plan when a few demons approached.
"Sir, we lost contact with the troops of High Demon Lucas. We also lost contact with High Demon Lucas a few moments after the former signal was lost."
The commander looked at the reporting demons and stop what he is currently doing and grab a bottle of blood wine on the table, chugging the contents down without a care.
"...So he was taken out. Which means that area is a place of interest. If Lucas was killed, have you all tracked where his orb of life went?"
"We did. Currently, it was in the possession of his killer and he is keeping it with him."
"Looks like those immortal players have finally taken hold of our plan to take over Resurgia continent. That only means that the means to finish things is not in a good way possible."
"Do you have a plan, sir?"
"Yes, of course. However, we have to be patient and plan our things. After all, immortal players that suddenly arrived in this world are the prophesized saviors of this world. Our only option to be able to properly eliminate the possibility of them winning is by killing the real inhabitants of this world. The players might be killed but they are immortal and blessed by the Goddess of Death to return to life. That only means we have to tread our decisions properly so that we can carry out our lord's plan. If the immortal players have no more to protect, they don't have any reason either to keep fighting.
...
"Hey, Bladeheart, tell me the specifics! I need to also get a house too! I wanted to decorate my own mansion too!" Dolly kept on begging for me to tell her how I got it.
"How many times did I tell you that I received it from the Realty Agent in the Headquarters! You have been there, right? You should have already known that the Realty Agent is also situated there!"
"No."
"I bet Dolly was busy killing monsters that she didn't know the HQ has any sort of employees there," Hagane took a wild guess.

"How did you know?!"
"Holy sh*t, I nailed it..." Hagane facepalmed.
"As I said earlier, it was a quest from the Realty Agent. She tasked me to kill the enemies in a mansion and if I did, I will be able to get ownership of the place. So yeah, I got the mansion and it is good as new for me."
I scratch my head after explaining it again and again. I took a glance at the goblins not too far from us. The kids cuddled near their mother while the father goblin is currently gripping his crossbow tight. From the way he is alert, he is trying his best to keep an eye on the surroundings for any possible attacks from the demons. Being in the demon frontline, this guy might have developed alertness on the battlefield where every enemy will kill them all.
From my understanding, if they are players, the male goblin would be a Hunter, while the female goblin would be a cleric. After seeing her use holy magic last time, I can assume that is the light attribute to the power of the monsters. I know this since the spell she just used last time is not possible for a cleric to use and the only people I have seen to have used that kind of ability are the monsters with sentience.
Also, this is the first time I have seen a goblin who has these classes. In all my battles against enemies like goblins that are hostile and part of the demon army, most of them are warriors and the bigger ones would be either a tank or a berserker hobgoblin. As for the weaker goblins but has the ability to use mana, they are always seen as goblin shaman and nothing more than that. So seeing a Hunter class and cleric class goblins are new to me.
I spotted my mansion in the distance. It was a sore thumb in a forest so I am not mistaken about what I am seeing.
"We are almost there. Don't worry, that place is safe for everyone even for your kids. You guys don't need to worry about the demons coming to invade my home anytime soon."
"Well, that is good news," the male goblin said.
He glances at his wife and smiled. He is really worried about the safety of his family. I can see him sigh in relief after I told him those words.

"Are you talking about that mansion that has a creepy atmosphere over there, Bladeheart?" Dolly asked.
"Yes. You got a problem with that?"
"None at all. Just from the area alone, this place is already a good place for peaceful living away from your neighbors. If there is any place like this in the city, I would gladly live there as long as it is not haunted by any ghosts," Dolly said.
"You have a great mansion as your house in the real world, why would you want to live away from the neighbors?!" Hagane started to bicker with Dolly again.
"Ha, you don't understand. Being rich doesn't mean you are privileged enough to enjoy anything! The neighbors in my house are all annoying so I would gladly move to another place to avoid seeing those neighbors!"
"You guys know each other in real life, huh? No wonder you guys are so close even though this Paladin is so low level. Normal players wouldn't bat an eye on lower leveled players right now," Chase said.
"That's right, Hagane. So you are lucky to have us to help you to grind some levels and teach you the ways. If it was other people, I doubt you will get the same treatment. You would be very lucky if you got those kinds of people."
We continue to converse with each other until we arrived at the mansion. Leona slowly landed on the ground and we finally are safe to go down.
The little goblins were hesitant to jump at first but when they saw their father jump off Leona's back, they also followed suit. His wife also went down from Leona's back but she did so carefully so that the kid won't cry.
"For now, this will be your home until things finally settle down. It is not a bad place, far from the city and closes yet not fully inside the forest. It is also a bit sinister in the surroundings that the demons might also be thinking twice to go here."
"I can feel the darkness surrounding the area. Although minimal I can feel it," the female goblin said.
"Oh, you must have detected those little lairs that produce skeletons and some undead creatures around. I left them behind on purpose as a good way to earn experience from killing them. Since they spawn infinitely as long as the lair exists, farming the enemy for experience in battle is quite easy."
"There are farming spots here near your area, Bladeheart?" Hagane asked.
"Yeah. Level 20 and level 50 lairs. They spawn enemies with those levels. So if you wanted to grind levels, I suggest attacking the level 20 enemies, as they are much easier to defeat compared to the level 50 lairs but they are a decent amount of experience so if you want an easy to kill mobs to level up to twenty, then go to the lairs. Just be sure that you don't kill the lairs and only the skeletons so that the lair will continue to produce enemies," I explained.
"Don't the enemies get overwhelming if left alone?" Chase asked.
"Not at all. Once they reach the maximum of 15 undead per lair, they will stop producing new undead and no more enemies will spawn as long as it is 15 undead. Once one undead died, the lair will immediately produce another one so you can say it is an endless farming."
"Damn, that is nice, let me farm in the meantime!" Hagane said before walking off to find a lair.
"Me too! Hey! Wait for me!"
I ignored the two and went escorted the family of the goblins inside. Inside the mansion are Topaz and Iron currently resting, they were on guard against the goblins at first but when they saw me coming in, they didn't do anything and just smiled at them.
Then, I heard some metal clanging on the forge. I have not allowed anyone to enter the house yet aside from the siblings or if they have anyone who they allowed inside. However, it is pretty unlikely since the siblings always play by their partner and rarely play with other people. So who is the one hammering currently on my forge?
"Oh? It looks like my apprentice has finally arrived. Good job on the forge, kid," a certain redhead who sounds like she was always tired appeared on the forge carrying the hammer used for smithing.
"Almira-sensei?!"

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)

So, here it is. It's another fanfic, yes. Because it's easier to write. Also, with this one, I'll probably post only during the weekends, not daily like with the Novel's Extra's Extra. Firstly because I want to finish the other one, and also because I need to research a lot more (I'm not that knowledgeable in Harry Potter.) As usual, any feedback and criticism will be well received, and thanks for reading! Will be posting this in Scribble Hub and Webnovel too.
