"On no! I got him too hard! Zombie, heal him!"
Cranberry stopped half her step and trembled, staring at the broken twitching mass of flesh.
"Right away, don't worry. By the way - that message doesn't look too good, just like your road to rule quest,..."
Zombie assured her and then furrowed his brows, shaking off the dust from his shoulders before he crouched, but the index and middle fingers to his lips and then lead the thin trail of smoke from his mouth all the way to the forehead of the massacred man right by his feet.
"Ha? Ah! R-right!"
The red-haired girl gasped and nodded as if only now did she realize that multiple system messages had popped up in her vision.
"It does... Oh...! I-it worked! Zombie, it worked! The level of his title got reduced and he's still alive!"
The red-haired girl gasped and a hopeful smile bloomed on her face as she lowered her black baseball bat while the dark red smoke surrounding the avatar of wrath got sucked in by her blue undead.
/Warning
/Servant became damaged
/Servant has insufficient mana to heal
/Permission to use Master's mana required
"...ghaaaa...!"
...and soon she got the confirmation in form of both the system message and the loud gasp of freshly healed ashen-haired man.
*SLUSH*
"Whoa! Did you hear that? Completely broken! Maybe try hitting him a little softer next time or he might die before I'll heal him."
Zombie moved his torso around causing a plentiful of liquids inside of him to slosh as he turned towards Cranberry.
"...true... do I even need to hit him in the first place? I wonder if a tap would be enough... system, heal my Zombie."
The red-haired girl nodded, furrowing her brows gave the system permission.

/Permission received
/Healing in progress...
/Healing completed
The black and red smoke left her body and sipped into the blue undead restoring any and all damages to his body.
With that done Cranberry activated her skill again and her black baseball bat turned white from the intense light.
She then approached the avatar of wrath held up by the serious-looking blue undead and lightly touched the man's stomach.
...
But nothing happened.
"Haa... well, I should have expected that it needs to be an attack after all... I will try again."
The red-haired villainess sighed in disappointment and slowly raised her hand just a bit.
*tap*
...
Nothing.
"Haa..."

With a soft whack that could barely be called a hit by even the most sensitive person, the attack got registered and a whole series of messages popped up.
"I...I think we have our solution...! There is a way for is a to complete the quest without killing...!"
Cranberry's face lighted up and she looked at Zombie with an overjoyed smile, resting the baseball bat on her shoulder.
...but then...

"Aargh...! AAAAAAUUUURRRRGGGGHH!"
"!!!"
With the arrival of new messages, it became clear that the red-haired villainess had celebrated far too early, as lord Pomegranate Wrath suddenly spat out blood and started screaming, clawing at his chest in terrible pain.
"What the...?!"
"Zombie, do something! HEAL HIM!"
The blue undead gasped and stared at the ex-avatar's agony and only the red-haired girl's shout pushed him into action.
"On it...!"
He put his index and middle fingers to his lips and hurriedly lead the thin trail of dark red smoke to...
*SPLAT*
Before the blue undead could touch the man's forehead, lord Pomegranate Wrath's body EXPLODED into a fountain of blood and gore at their very eyes.

The new series of messages popped up after the system detected and dealt with the unwanted variable.
"..."
*catch*
Cranberry's eyes widened in shock and she would have fallen to her knees if not for the bloodied blue undead who hurriedly stood up and supported her.
"It looks like the experiment has ended up in a failure."
Zombie sighed watchfully observing the silent girl in his arms.
"...y-yes..."
Her voice trembled and rested her forehead against his chest.
"...and it ended in the worst way possible. But it wasn't your fault that he died...! You didn't miscalculate the strength or anything... it was that damned Patience - he has done something! You've seen the messages! This is the absolute worst..."
Zombie breathed out and locked the red-haired villainess into a protective embrace.
"..."
Cranberry said nothing, she simply clung to Zombie with all her might while her shoulders continued to tremble.
"I... I don't want to kill Claymore...!"
Cranberry's weak voice barely reached Zombie's ears.
"Say... it looks like the avatars will have to die anyway... but that doesn't mean that your friend has to too...
"...wh... what do you mean...?"
Zombie's unexpected suggestion was strange enough to make Cranberry flinch - but even so, she didn't show him her face.
"We just have to transfer the title to someone else, we know it's possible right? Why don't we ask your father for help?"
Zombie nodded and asked casually.
"!!!!!!!"
...making Cranberry flinch in shock as if she was struck by thunder.
"You-you're right...! My father was the original avatar of pride of his generation, but he used lady Goji's help and transfer the title to my mother! And when she died and the title of avatar of pride got eresed, the system didn't do anything to him! If we do the same thing as he did and transfer Claymore's title to someone else someone without an essential role, we won't have to worry about a thing!"
She gasped, looking up at Zombie with her reddened eyes while clinging onto his shirt-turned-armor.
"We were supposed to go back to our mansion anyway! Zombie! Let's go right now!"
She asked, shedding all of the weakness and hesitation she showed up just a moment ago and grabbing onto the new option as if it was a lifeline.
"That's more like it!"
Zombie smiled brightly, and since he already had her in his arm, he just needed to lift her up before he could activate his skills and...
*BOOOOOOOM*
...launch himself in the correct direction to the sound of the deafening explosion.
---
Two of the seemingly unconscious bodyguards from the Wrath family that got knocked out by the initial attack suddenly stood up, dusting themselves off.
Both of their bodies begun glowing with a faint green light and after a second their faces changed completely.
"...that was... something..."
The shorter man sighed and shook his head.
"Do you think that the queen would stop trying to get that girl on her side after we'll report what had transpired here?"
The taller one asked.
"Are you crazy? The greed of Greed knows no bounds - the girl is strong and we basically have an idea about her weak point."
The shorter one waved his hand dismissively and refuted the question.
"Whew... I'm relieved that we've confirmed that this girl isn't just killing everyone because she's crazy."
"Yeah, sure, she just wants to get rid of all the avatars of sin - it's not very reassuring if you ask me..."
"..."
"...:
The two of them went silent for a moment.
"...well, we better get back and report regardless."
The sorter one sighed and shrugged his shoulders.
"Wait. That one. It's Ti, isn't she?"
The taller one pointed at the platinum-haired woman lying amongst the rubble of the broken mansion only a few steps away from the gory remains of the former head of the Wrath family.
"Let's take her with us before the others arrive to cover up this whole mess."
"Fine, she should have some useful information."

The Divine Gemstones
Vol.1It's currently the year 3318 in Greenterra. After the great mystical war, humans had an agreement to stop making harmful chemicals for the environment. Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore. Plants and trees were growing once again all over the world; the making of downtown urban cities and cars was banned; therefore, all the human-made chemical ozone depletion stopped. Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels. It made a group named, 'Black Tombstone' whose objective is to kidnap people and drain them of their magic to recover the entity's power back to its prime. Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse. Vol.2He starts uniting a group of people to start the search for the divine gemstones, each one of them having a tragic but hopeful past. Cover made by me, here's a link for the high-resolution picture, (Was a bit lazy to fully clean up the drawing lol) (And by the way, it might just spoil juuuuust a little lol)

The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.

Mourners, Abednego, Persistence
Sebastio the Effulgent has been Lord of Pennat Gate for more than a hexadecade following the events of that day called the Western Sunrise. In the pyres that lament the many deaths of that tribulation, the place he has worked to turn into an asylum for the downtrodden has prospered. Some of the Yrdkish peerage, and some of those far removed from such status, disagree with Pennat Gate’s position, politics, and rulership. A few are not satisfied merely with seditious talk. A few possess frighteningly capable means with which to undermine causes of questionable nobility. A few want to see the experiment flourish, so that it might be ripped out roots and all. A fiery furnace awaits, and it hungers for both metal to shape and tinder to reduce to dust. When strange intelligent Beasts begin to appear on the lidar, they become the Toledo steel that will either straighten the extrafacetary territories’ spine, or leave it forever hunchbacked.
