《Nelvinus》Volume 1 - Chapter 3 : Little Sister Part 3
Advertisement
(This incident happen way before Rui and her brother being reincarnated)
While I’m here, I decided to give my old past selves a visit.
If I remember correctly my name in this old world is Azazel I think.
It's quite a weird name, even for me. I don’t know why my parents name me Azazel.
I open the hospital door and greeted by a nurse on the counter.
"Hello, there little girl? What are you doing here alone? Need any help?" (nurse)
“I came here to give a visit to my relative” (Creator)
“Oh, what’s the patient name? And were your parents?" (Nurse)
"His name is Azazel, and my parents already die and only one I have is my relative who's currently in this hospital" (Creator)
"aw... Poor little creature, here, your relative room was placed on special care unit, he currently on room 46" (Nurse)
“Thank you” (Creator)
“No problem” (Nurse)
What a hassle to talk my way to meet myself, geez.
As I walk into the hospital corridors, I could hear, no, I could feel their fear, despair. They are impaired. They want to die. They don't want to live.
They want the doctor to end their life, but at the same time scared to do it.
They scared. They were in pain.
"Hurry! Bring this patient to the emergency room now!" (Doctor) a doctor shouted to the nurse.
“Kill Me!!” (Patient) Screaming in agony the patient pulls the doctor clothes. Of course, he was in misery. His hand was in a weird place and his left leg on his side. His leg was amputated, the same as me in this world.
“Nurse! Shoot him with the drug!" (Doctor) The nurse hurriedly bringing a syringe and injecting the drug.
“There, there, sleep now” (Doctor) The doctor tried to put the patient back on his bed.
I walk past them. I could see the man dream. The patient dream. It's on the battlefield, he surrenders himself, but to no avail, the enemy caught him and torture him for information.
He suffered. Just like me. But nobody deserves it, neither is he.
After walking past them, I stooped for awhile. In the front door of a patient. Its door 46.
I could sense great despair beyond this door. Its soul screams in misery.
I gently open the door, and there he is. Azazel. My past self.
I suffered many years being war captives and tortured. They forced me to eat my flesh. I still can remember it vividly by looking at my soulless face of my past self.
I can still remember, they slaughter my comrade in front of my eyes. Their head, fall to the ground, rolling to my feet. They shoot me on the right shoulder. Cut my left arm and banging my head with it. Keeping me alive by forcing me eating my flesh, drinking my urine.
They put salt on my injuries and shit on my face. Draining every blood of man they could find onto my head, showering me with it. Calling the dog to gnaw on me. Amputated both of my legs, showering oil into the injuries and put flames on it. Yet, I’m still alive
After a decade of hell, I was finally saved.
As a teenager, I spent most of my time in front of a computer. I play mostly online games, in the hope to fill my social need. I don't have many friends. The only I have is an online friend. My parents, they both died in a car accident when my graduation day.
I cry for days. My eyes started to feel pain and eventually, the emotional pain of my heart ultimately gone. I just don’t feel any emotional pain anymore. I just feel like a robot. I just feel like an empty shell.

Join the army because I decided to change. I meet many new friends and my empty heart started to fill with happiness and gratitude. I once again know how it feels of happiness, know how it feels have friends and know how its feel have somebody to protect.
During 25 May 3421 galactic years, I was sent to join a space battle on planet Keplar321. We march ourselves bravely. We were a triumph. But there is something wrong. Our commander has gone missing and our captain was worried about something
30 May 3421 galactic years,we land on the planet. We were told there was a friendly base nearby. But once we arrive there, we were caught by the enemy
Half of our men were killed and half were caught and bring home as a war captive. I thought myself I was lucky, but no. There is a hell waiting for me.
The commander whose goes missing were there with me. In the torture chamber. There is inside work in our army foundation. They are able to send their spy and gain intel about us. They force the commander to order the captain to bring us to the enemy ambush.
I was furious and try to escape from there. But to no avail, I was caught.
Its hell. Man cry in horror. The laughter of the devil can be heard.
Bone breaking and the smell of burning flesh also can be noticed.
…
“Hello, Azazel” (Creator) I greeted him
Upon hearing my voice, he then tried to get up. I can see his prosthetic left arm trying to help him get up.
He then sits on the side of the bed and asks
“Who are you?” (Azazel)
"Me? Well… I'm nobody… same as you…" (Creator)
“What?” (Azazel)
“As I said, I am nobody" (Creator)
“Am I … hallucinating?” (Azazel)
“Ah, don’t worry, its real, you are not hallucinating, it’s a real person, a little girl” (Creator)
“If so then… what are you doing here?” (Azazel)
"Nothing, I'm just want to see you" (Creator)
“See me?” (Azazel)
“you know, just giving a visit. Look how are you currently are" (Creator)
“…" (Azazel) he doesn't respond. It just silences. It just like he doesn't want to talk
“So, how are you?” (Creator)
"I'm fine, I guess…" (Azazel)
“Fine? Are you sure?” (Creator)
“…” (Azazel) there he goes. Doesn’t answer me, like he trying to avoid the question.
I took a sit on the chair near the bed and notice a picture frame on top of the table.
It’s a picture of two people. The person who I knew and I love dearie.
“Do you still remember them?”(Creator) I take the picture frame and pointed to it.
Azazel then turns his head towards the picture.
“Them? I cant… my head hurt…" (Azazel) upon seeing the picture frames, Azazel body trembles and his complexion show that he was in pain.
“This picture is the picture of your parents, Azazel” (Creator)
Knowing the truth, Azazel started to breakdown. His tears run down his cheeks. His hand shaking holding both of his faces.
“How could… I forgot them…” (Azazel) the sadness of his is real, and I can feel it. No. I have gone through this. I never have a thought that the little girl I talk in a hospital was myself in the future. What a weird coincidence.
“You know why you still alive Azazel?” (Creator)
“Why you ask?” (Azazel)
“You know… You have suffered long enough. Why don’t you just ask to be kill or… Kill Yourself?”

Azazel eyes started to widen.
“Yes, you are right… I have suffered long enough. All the pain I went through…” (Azazel) "I'm just a fucking moving doll. Punch. Ripped apart. And yet, not important."(Azazel) "I'm just a worthless human being. I don't have a leg and left arm. Laying on a hospital bed to take care of. I don't deserve all this" (Azazel) “Even if I die right here, nobody would care. Nobody is waiting for me at home. Nobody to care of. Nobody to see. Nobody to talk to" (Azazel)
Tears started running through his cheeks again. But this time. His eyes show another story. It's not a sad tear. He too scared. He doesn't want to die. But at the same time, he wants too.
“You don’t want to die didn’t ya?” (Creator)
Silence. There is no reply. He just staring outside, in hope for me to go away.
"A cruel life isn't?" (Creator)
Azazel then looks to me.
“Why are you here? For what exactly reason?” (Azazel)
“Didn’t I told you already? I come here to comfort you” (Creator)
"Comfort me? I don't need anyone… I just… want to be left al-” (Azazel)
Without hesitation, I grab Azazel and hug him.
“No, don’t say that.” (Creator)
He cries. Tears fall off to my shoulder. I can feel him tightly hug me.
“Thank.. You..” (Azazel)
After a while, both of us stop hug each other. Well, its feel pretty fucking award to hug me. It's like hugging a pillow and putting a mirror on it.
“Oh, I think I need to go Azazel” (Creator)
“Okay.. See you again soon?” (Azazel)
I smile upon Azazel asking to see you again. Of course, we gonna meet again, you are me silly.
“See ya. And tomorrow is the day you will send back home and I hope you will be alright. See ya" (Creator)
After finishing my words, I walk towards the window and turn my head to Azazel. “Goodbye” (Creator)
I then use teleportation magic to teleport myself beside this old man. The creator of the past world. I teleport myself further in time. The time where it all happens.
“Well, well, well what we have here” (Creator)
“What are you doing here? Could you not just, teleport here and there” (Past Creator)
“Hmph, I can do anything just like you know. But, unlike you, I'm not a relic" (Creator)
“You started to be an annoyance you know” (Past Creator)
“Geez, it's a few more minute before 'it' happen. Why don't you just have fun for a while? It's quite a troublesome to see you grumpy all day" (Creator)
“…” (Past Creator)
“so… how’s your son doing?” (Creator)
“Good, he quite sad about what to happen” (Past Creator)
"Well, he cants do anything to stop you anyway" (Creator)
Abruptly, a gigantic mushroom grows to the skies. A massive strike of explosion sound can be heard from far away that can cause massive damage to ears.
"What’s these guys thinking about when they fired those things" (Creator)
Luckily the explosion is far away from nearest civilizations.
“Look at the time, I think I need to go now”(Creator)
“…” (Past Creator)
I walk away from the old man and teleport away. It's my world. No. It's my reality now. My universe with its own rule. I took a sit on the throne I made.
Unexpectedly, the door of my throne room was smashed through. Two voice can be heard shouting running to me
"Master! Where you went?! We can't find you anywhere!" (Raphael) Raphael pleading for an answer ,
“Master! Why you leave both of us without notice!” (Ellyn) Ellyn begging for an answer from me
“There, there, there both of you. I just gone like a few minutes you know” (Creator)
“But master…” (Raphael and Ellyn)
“Geez, here” (Creator)
I pat both of them. Ahh, its like petting a cat. Its feel relaxing.
Suddenly, a thought walks through my head. A simulation. A simulated world. A world of the computer.
I teleport myself in front of the Tree of Life. It's a tree that roots onto the planet. Its potent magical power gave this planet its magical energy. It's absorbing the potent mana outside which keep this universe in shape to be used into magical energy that can be used by the mortal.
“Create a Quantum Computer”
And boom there it is. Quantum computer and a hologram displayer beside its. With this, I can simulate the past universe. I powered the quantum computer with the roots of Tree of Life.
If it's working, the simulation thing. I don't have to create a real one huh. Well, it's easier to simulate it then create it I think.
I already create thousand of the universe, and it's a hassle to do it. I mean… I don't have to create another same fucking nearly identical planet in almost all galaxy, didn't I?
Having a machine helping me doesn't sound bad, doesn't it?
The screen of it only shows ‘>’. It requires command. I type in >Simulate.

>Simulate

No data inserted. Simulation failed.

Data? It's need data? What kind of data?
I notice a palm scanner on the computer and put my hand on it. I then retype the command

The same thing happens. It's a war. The country of the other side has launched a nuclear towards their enemy where I currently looking at using this hologram displayer.
---
>Unpause time
Time unpause
---
I can see many of them running. Running towards the shelter. Some, screaming. Having a mental breakdown. The country now filled with the sound of screaming and sirens.
I noticed a girl and I presume her brother whose she holding now. The explosion is in front of them. Both of them died because of the shock wave.
I took pity on both of them

>Upload data Human

The girl name was Rui and her brother name Haruko.
I then began to put their data into a vessel of the soul. I began hijacking their life expectancy as a soul.
The brother and the girl will be reincarnated to the reality of my universe. I told both of them from the same universe to cover the true story whose they are. I lie to them how long they have been trapped in the soul realm. Yeah. Sound like a great plan. I think. Maybe...
Let's see...
Oh well...
Just as planned…
(Author: OwO what’s this? A plot twist?)

(Now we back into the current timeline)
"Oi Ellyn! Whats ya doing over there?" (Raphael)
Ellyn look into the balcony of her room and notice the woman who shouted her name
“Oh Raphael, I'm just having a tea over here. Wanna come over here" (Ellyn)
“What?!” (Raphael)
“I said! Wanna come over here!?” (Ellyn)
“Sure! Don’t mind if I do!” (Raphael)
Raphael then run to Ellyn room and smashed through her door
With an irritated face, Ellyn greeted her “Good morning Raphael, could you not do that” (Ellyn)
“It’s a hassle to open your big ass door” (Raphael)
"What ya saying?" (Ellyn) With an irritated look, she asks Raphael.
“Not..hing…” (Raphael)
“Geez, could you stop with your childish act already?” (Ellyn)
“Hmph” (Raphael)
“Now, to the question, why the heck did you call me early this morning while I'm trying to enjoy my tea?" (Ellyn)
“Oh! That’s because…. Because… “ (Raphael)
“ You didn’t remember did you” (Ellyn)
“What?! I know well what I’m doing here calling you in this early time” (Raphael)
“Then, what it is?” (Ellyn)
With a serious face, she asks Ellyn
“Do you know that master reincarnated 2 people”
“I already know about” (Ellyn)
A questioning face on Raphael can be seen "So… it just me then… huh…" (Raphael) A disappointing face shows up
“You are stupid you know?" (Ellyn)
“What?!” (Raphael)
"She already told us the day before she reincarnated those two people, didn't she? Or you just forget about that already?" (Ellyn)
“!" A surprise face as a memory suddenly ramming into Raphael's head. She then falls to the floor as both of her hand push against the floor
“Geez, get up, please. I don't want to have your 'smell' on my floor" (Raphael)
Raphael then gets up.
“Oh, Raphael, did you notice master becoming cuter every day?" (Ellyn) Ellyn ask Raphael
“What? Are you gonna continue our conversations with you weird fucking dream of fucking our master?!” (Raphael)
“Geez, I mean, don't you want to push master down, and lick her ears, making her be... Ahh... I want her!" (Ellyn) Ellyn body twitching nonstop. Her face turns red. Her hand touching somewhere. Yes, it touches that place. Her fucking pussy.
"Oi, stop it. It's our master you thinking about." (Raphael)
“Argh… I mean… she cute you know…" (Ellyn) "I want to deflower her so bad" (Ellyn)
“Can you fucking stop” (Raphael)
“Geez, alright.” (Ellyn)
“You know she likes our mother like? She the one who create both of us.” (Raphael)
“I know about that, but, I fell in love with her though, I just want to pin her down and making out with h-“ (Ellyn)
“Stop. Please. I don’t want to hear any more" (Raphael)
“Alright, alright.” (Ellyn)
"To the real question, did you remember the master said about Glitch?” (Raphael)
“Ah yes, Glitch.” (Ellyn)
“Glitch started to spreading around this world you know” (Raphael)
"Yes, it's quite a problem." (Ellyn) "The roots of the tree of life is the main problem as it travels around this world and spreading it" (Ellyn)
“What happens if these People in the Glitch come into our world?” (Raphael)
“You worry about that Raphael?” (Ellyn)
"Of course I am. Its an unknown entity. We don't know what it capable of if it enters our world" (Raphael)
“For one, the master has a name for these people. There is already one people succeeded enter our world. But he only can live as a hologram”(Ellyn)“Master called the People who come to our world through the Glitch is GLITCHED. “(Ellyn)
“Hmm… if they just enter our world as the only hologram than its okay, I guess" (Raphael)
“Well, Master reincarnated two of people in the simulation into our universe anyway” (Ellyn)
“Rui and Haruko right?” (Raphael)
“Yeah. For once you can remember people name I see” (Ellyn)
“Hmph” (Raphael)
“You see, there is some dungeon being invaded by this Glitch thing.” (Ellyn)
"Oh yeah, I see some tree also transforming into a Glitch thing" (Raphael)
A knocking on the broken door of Ellyn door can be heard
“May I enter” (Michael) an angelic voice can be heard. Its Michael
“Sure Michael, come in” (Ellyn)
Upon receiving the invitation from Raphael to come in, Michael took a step inside the room
"What made you come here, Michael?" (Ellyn) Ellyn ask him
"I have ordered from Master, she said Raphael will watch over Rui and Ellyn you watch over Haruko" (Michael) "However if can, avoid any contact or whatsoever" (Michael)
"What? She wants us to watch them? Geez" (Raphael) Raphael sighing
"What you complaining? Its master order you can't complain about that" (Ellyn)
“Geez alright” (Raphael)
---
Has she gone right? Argh… what a day… I hope she is safe, for now.
Yeah right, I need to get back to the guild house to claim my reward. Let me read the pamphlet again.
Hmm… each herb leaves being collected is counted as 1. One leaf of the herb will reward you for 5 copper.
Well… I have like…. 86 leaves of that red med I think, which will give me the total amount of… 430 copper.
The guild staff said the cost of the inn is 25 silver coin and to exchange cooper to silver is 10 copper is 1 silver coin. Sum of it, I have 43 silver coin
Oh well… it's enough for me to stay in the inn for 1 day and buy me some food
(Author: Dammit my fucking head hurt just writing this chapter alone.)
As I reach the city gate, I immediately moving toward the guild house. Open the door and hope I get the exact money I count.
“Ah, welcome back Rui!” (Alice) The guild staff whose name Alice greeted me with a smile
“Hi there, I already collected the herb as this pamphlets said” (Rui) I gave Alice the pamphlet and the herb I collected
"Oh… let me count the herb. Wait a minute alright. You can sit there if you want to" (Alice) she pointed to the small table that has 2 seats.
"Nah, it's alright I will stand here while waiting" (Rui)
“Alright then” (Alice)
After a few minutes, Alice comes back with the quest reward.
“Here your reward, all of it is 43 silver coin” (Alice)
“Thank you, anyway, where the nearest inn you said earlier?” (Rui)
“It just across the road” (Alice)
“Giddy up then, see ya again” (Rui)
I walk away from the counter and walk to the inn. Sure a good sleep sound nice doesn’t it?
I open the door and greeted by a middle ages looking guy.
“Oh, hello there young girl! Came here to rent for a night?" (Guy)
“Ah, yes sure. How much is it for a night” (Rui)
“That will be 25 silver coin” (Guy)
I take some of the silver coins from my pocket and put it on the table.
"That will be enough, anyway, enjoy your night here miss!” (Guy)
“Sure” (Rui)
I take the keys from the old man and go to my room.
Ahh, it sure nice to have a bed to lay on.
The bed sure feel nice. It feels soft and very fluffy, worth every penny I spend on it.
I closed my eyes and take a deep breath. Ah… It feels so relaxing after a long day going outside.
.
.
.
It's already morning… ahh… I don't wanna get up… this bed feel like it's trying to hold me…
“ ‘grr’… my stomach hurt” sure its hurt, I don’t fucking eat anything yesterday.
I think it's my time to get up and search for a place to at. I ready myself up before going out. Checking all my stuff is already set up. Sure, the only item I have right now is the money.
Argh, my stomach started to growl like a wolf. I'm starving like now, heck, even if I find a bowl of rice I would just eat right away.
I walk downstairs and see people already started to crowd the place around the inn downstairs. Of course, it will be crowded with people, it's a tavern.
I walk myself toward a table with 2 seats. Hmm, what should I order around here, what kind of food would exist in this world?
Maid is waling around servicing people. Sure they look beautiful, especially with those huge jugs. Geez, when will the plain of mine will grow to be a mountain.
"What's your order miss" (Maid) a maid approaching, asking for me what to order. Sure I can just Spaghetti and meatballs but no, I sure as hell that kind of thing doesn’t exist here.
“Hmm, give me your recommendation menu” (Rui)
“Alright, is that all?” (Maid)
“Yes” (Ruu)
The maid than step away and rushed to the kitchen. Oh wait, the money I bring, is it enough I think?
Unexpectedly a woman with a black hair took a seat on the empty seat in front of me
“This place feels crowded doesn't it?" (Woman) a voice of a woman can be heard.
“Yeah, sure do it feel herded with people” (Rui)
“I heard the food here good," (Woman) the woman said, she then raised her hand to call the maid.
“Pancake with maple syrup please” (Woman)
“Sure do!” (Maid)
“So what’s you doing in this town miss?” (Woman)
Wait, is she asking me? I'm sure as hell it is
“Just visiting I guess” (Rui)
“A foreigner eh? Where you from?” (Woman)
"Well… I'm from a small village… I think” (Rui)
“A small village, perhaps” (Woman)
Our orders then came out from the kitchen and to our tables.
Ahh… this smell fucking nice. I'm tarted to drooling over this thing and my stomach started to roaring like a vulture.
Take a bit of this and…. UwU did I just eat something from heaven.
“You sure look enjoying your food eh?” (Woman) the woman said.
“Ah yes, this food taste so good, never taste a thing like this before" (Rui)
“They sure do” (Woman)
And then a man opens the inn door, and step toward the woman in front of me. He then whispering something to her ears.
"Ah, I think I need to go, and Miss, what's your name?” (Woman)
“My name? Well, its Rui” (Rui)
“Rui huh? I think I took a liking on you, here grab this” (Woman)
She then hands over some kind of pendant.
“If you need help, just come to the castle and show them this alright?” (Woman)
She then walks away and goes outside.
---
“Did you notice something on that girl Richi?” (Woman)
“Yes, milady, I feel a presence surround her. To be precise, a divine presence” (Richi)
“You quite knowledgeable about this Richi, that's the thing I like about you" (Woman)
“Thank you for your praise milady.” (Richi)
"We might recruit her into our foundation, but, we must take precautions on her. Richi, spy on the girl and notify me if there is anything happen alright. Oh and the guy also” (Woman)
“As you wish, milord” (Richi)
“Rui huh?” (Woman)

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Norman hated his life. His peers ignored and bullied him. His mother nagged. His father was never home. Norman desperately wished for a miracle, but his prayers went unanswered.

I've recently felt bogged down because of the need to write more. That's why each chapter will be only 300 words long. Exactly 300 words long. At this point, I've pretty much written the whole thing, so I'm very confident that there will only be eight chapters.
