-------------------
So she is a princess after all... Kukukuku Is it fate? Nah isn't to much of a coincidence? Doesn't matter, actually I was looking for a master. A big breasted princess is definitely a huge jackpot. With this, my plan can move forward.
“Look look! Isn't incredibly cute?” (An'dalia) She crouched and tried grabbing me but Darui'n quickly stopped her.
“Princess, small brightly colored creature like this are usually poisonous. Better not touch it.” (Darui'n)
“Awww but I'm a priestess, I can detox myself if anything happen.” (An'dalia)
“Of course but animals aren't toys... What is it anyway? [Identify]” (Darui'n)
I felt a strange sensation and saw a flash of light in Darui'n' eyes... So this is how it feels to have someone use “identify” on you?! Then suddenly the white knight eyes widened as is face showed an incredulous expression.
“T..T..t This thing is a named monster!.... And a unique species... This is beyond rare, princess !!” (Darui'n)
“Really??? [Identify]” (An'dalia)
“Urg, this feeling again...” (Kneeko)
“Kneeko?? King of the pond? ...This little thing?” (An'dalia) She said while tilting her head sideways.
“This is indeed a strange and rare sight... If we kill it maybe it will drop something very valuable... Look at this precious stone on his forehead.” (Darui'n)
“Hey ho!! Don't you dare you asshole! [Poison spit]!” (Kneeko) I spat my venom straight into the white knight left eye.
“HAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa!!!!!!! MY EYES!!! My vision is fading!!!!! This damn lizard !!!” (Darui'n) -4hp -4hp -4hp -4hp
“Actually I'm an amphibian.. Not a reptile. Though I don't suspect you to be smart enough to know the difference... Hmm.. But my poison doesn't seem to be very effective on him...” (Kneeko)
“Darui'n... Stay calm and come here. [Detox]” (An'dalia) Luckily for him, it seemed this princess was the “healing” type.
“It didn't work !!!!!!!!! HAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! It's not working princess HaAaa!!!!! Damned creature !!!” (Darui'n)
“I can't believe it!... Detox Rank C wasn't enough??!?! I will use my strongest detox spell so stay still. [Detox]” (An'dalia)

“Ha!... It worked ! Haaa Thank you very much your highness. Imma kill this f-ing thing !” (Darui'n)
Realizing I may have overdone it I quickly starred at the princess with sad puppy eyes.
You have learned a new Active Skill [Sad puppy eyes]. (Cost. N/A) (Mastery: E)
People who see your sad eyes will feel compelled to help and comfort you.
The effectiveness of this skill varies depending on your skill points (charm) and mastery of the skill. (15 minute cool-down)
Seeing this I quickly allocated 26 skill points into charm making it now 40 and used the skill on the princess.
“[Sad puppy eyes]!” (Kneeko)
“Awwwwwwwwww Cuteeeeee... Darui'n STOP!” (An'dalia)
Darui'n stopped his sword mid-swing at the princess order. My eyes were like enormous wet red marbles shining with all the sadness of all the sad puppies in the world.
“Milady?” (Darui'n)
“The poor thing attacked you because you threatened to kill him! It's all your fault, leave him alone !” (An'dalia)
“B..b...But... Such a young monster... You know they can't understand complex languages...” (Darui'n)
“He must have felt your killing intent! Apologize to him now...” (An'dalia)
“M-..Milady?!...” (Darui'n) She frowned at him destroying all of his hope to refuse.
“Yheaaa take that Mr white knight mwahwhaah Apologize now !” (Kneeko)
“Tsh... I.. Apologize...” (Darui'n) He visibly looked pissed.
“Now, let see... [Identify]” (Kneeko)
Darui'n Hugil'rel (NPC)Race/Species:N/ALevel:254Class:Spirit knightTitle:N/A
“Gulp*... Hmmm Let's try not to piss him off from now on shall we...” (Kneeko)
“Anyway, we need to hurry princess. They must already be on our tails... Let us go now.” (Darui'n)
“You're right.. Let's go! Bye bye little Kneeko!” (An'dalia)
“Ho no you ain't!... I need you for my plans...” (Kneeko)
Not leaving her time to leave I quickly grab a scroll from my inventory and drop it on the ground.
“Ehh? What is this? [Identify]” (An'dalia)
[Familiar Contract] Spell-ScrollMana requirement:250Value:5GRank:DRarity:CommonAllow to perform a familiar contract with a monster. If your affinity with the creature is low, the chances of the contract working are almost zero and you may lack control over it.

I had been a monster in Alterlife1 for a long time and knew very well what I was doing. Right now if I die, I will have to restart from zero... But if I am someone's familiar, I will be forced back into the “familiar dimension” and wont be able to get out for 24h... Which is by far the cheapest way for a monster like me to become immortal...
Well as long as my owner doesn't die... The safest way would be to contract with a player since they can't die and all... But she's a princess! I mean.. yeah... If I'm to be someone's pet, I want my owner to be royalty! guhuhu*
“Darui'n! Look!...” (An'dalia)
“That little lizard gets weirder the longer we stay in his company... How can he have such an expensive scroll ? Does it recognize you as it's master?” (Darui'n)
“I'll do it ! Kneeko will become my cute pet!” (An'dalia)
“Don't raise your hopes to high princess... Since you are not a beast tamer, the chances of the contract succeeding are almost nonexistent...” (Darui'n)
“Buhhhh!” (An'dalia) She pouted at Darui'n making him blush.
“Hoo! I see... So that's how it is eh...guhuhuhu*” (Kneeko) I threw a mischievous look at Darui'n.
“Sorry OP knight but this princess' mine mwehehehe*” (Kneeko)
The princess quickly unrolled the scroll, placed her hand on it while staring at me. Then I felt her pouring mana into it just before this appeared.
An'dalia Elmda'ril wish to form a familiar contract with you.AcceptDecline
“ACCEPT! Mwahahaha” (Kneeko)
We exchanged a bit of mana then a new option appeared in my interface. I could now get in and out of a “familiar dimension”. It simply is my own private, personal dimension. The dimension automatically creates the ideal habitat for my species to live in. It is also the place I will be stuck in for 24h if I die.
“I did it!! yay!!!” (An'dalia) She quickly grabbed me and squished me against her face in celebration. Luckily for her, monsters can't hurt their master, so the poison had no effect on her anymore. Darui'n was agape with his eyes as big as melons.
“Everything about this creature is weird... I'll keep an eye on it.” (Darui'n)
“Tch! Stupid knight !” (Kneeko)
[...]
All of a sudden, An'dalia was staring at me with eyes even bigger than those Darui'n had earlier.
“D...d- Did you just speak?” (An'dalia)
HA! crap I forgot about that... The bond between pet and master allow them to understand each others. I don't have a body allowing me to use humanoid speech but as my Master she could definitely hear that. Time to think fast.
“Qweekk! Qweekk!” (Kneeko) Hummm that's not exactly the mighty roar I was imagining but it'll do...
“Uhh.. Must have imagined it...” (An'dalia)
“We wasted enough time, we need to go now princess!” (Darui'n)
“Yes! I'm coming!... Kneeko! Go back now.” (An'dalia)
Your master summoned you to the “familiar dimension”.AcceptDecline
I declined and as fast as lightning, crawled on her body toward the warm and humid canyon located between her gigantic breast. This was the perfect environment for me to relax in.
“KYAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!” (An'dalia)
[30 minutes later]
Both of them had given up on trying to get me out of this wonderfully comfortable canyon and resumed their journey. All you could see was me poking my head out of her cleavage from time to time like a prairie dog in order to asses our surroundings. Actually in the dark humidity of this canyon, I was relaxing and playing online java games while they walked.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?

Short Stories
So these are just a few, very short, stories that I just had to write. They tend to focus on different things, as and when they come to me. They'll most likely be fantasy, and not very long. At all. Honestly, I'm putting them up here so they don't just sit on my hard drive. Kind of sad to think of imagination unshared. Edit: If you could provide some feedback on what you read, I would appreciate it. I do just post these here, and will continue (as and when) to do so.Thank you.
