《My Life Ended... Or So I Thought》Chapter 7 - The Tavern
Advertisement
Ahhhh, this lake is really my own heaven.
I was thinking to create my hoodie, but I don't think that I should use it in a date... but I'm not even sure if it's a date, after all, that place is a tavern where the main customers are adventurers and merchants.
And to be fair, it doesn't feels like she's actually hitting on me, maybe she just wants a friend. Well, whatever, I will create my hoodie soon.
Arrrrgh, this is stressful.
I mean, I don't even know her name, I used , but I was more foccused about her strength and abilities rather than her name, God, I am fucking stupid.
[Her name is Lynn, a Half-Elf.]
Oh, thanks Minerva, I forgot that you have photographic memory.
Half-Elf huh? This explains her pointy ears, although they are the same size as a human ear, it seems that the ears of a pure elf are much longer.
Well, I already suspected it, because I saw a lot of elves in Vansha, all of them seems to be way more stronger than humans in all aspects, mainly magical ones, and Lynn was the strongest person in that guild, at least the strongest of the ones that I saw there.
Also, now that I think about it, how was I able to talk to the people of this world? I mean, the language seems totally different, but I was able to understand and speak...
[Automatic Translation, a gift that I gave to you, you can understand, write and speak all languages.]
Oh my... thanks, I would be lost in this world if I couldn't understand their language.
Talking about world, what exactly is the name of this planet?
[It is called Thalem, this planet has mass, size and gravity equal to Earth, has a identical moon and also orbits a sun-like star.]
What a lack of creativity, heh.
Well, if the name of the planet is different, what is the name of the moon and the sun?
[Moon and sun.]
Sure... basically, the same names, huh? Weird...
By the way, what about the universe? Is this universe similar to the universe of my previous life?
[Yes, both space-time continuums are similar, you could even say that they are like twins.]
Weird, really weird, even nowdays, there are several things I still don't understand... first of all, how many universes exist?
[Infinite.]
I-Infinite? Like... Infinite?
[Yes, infinite and also infinitely increasing.]
What do you mean?
[There are an infinite number of universes, and more universes keep being created and some are destroyed.]
What exactly creates these universes and what exactly destroys it?
[A lot of things are responsible for this, several entities are strong enough to create and destroy, some of these entities are always watching you, as I said a long time ago, you are loved by something very strong, they even gave the Skill to you, I have my suspicions, but I cannot say who it is, you don't need to worry about it yet, actually, you should worry, but you are weak, you may even be strong in this world, but you are not strong enough to deal with a lot of things of our reality, I don't think you are able to fight against these entities, go get stronger.]
You destroyed my happiness... I thought I was strong, but you started talking about entities strong enough to destroy an universe... actually, I remember that YOU said that you could destroy an universe and enslave everything that breathes... what exactly are you? I know, you are one of my Attached Skills, but, what exactly are YOU?

[Go get stronger.]
Geez, you are a weirdo.
✧✦✧
I have created several hoodies, among these, my favorites are a cyan blue with pink details including stripes and a pink star on the back and a hot pink hoodie with cyan blue details including stripes and a cyan blue star on the back, basically, I inverted the colors, yeah.
The good part of this design is that I don't even need to wear shorts because the hoodie is big enough to cover my important parts, but even so, I created several shorts as well, each one looks like the specific color of the hoodie, basically a set of clothes, although you can't see the shorts because the hoodie is oversized.
I wanted something to cover my feet as well, so, I made several socks too, my favorites ones are a pink sock and a cyan blue sock, I added a special effect to my outfit that makes it immune to dirt, I could use this special effect on myself, but it wouldn't be fun in a party.
I literally created the perfect clothing, beautiful, sexy and catchy, it will be perfect to a date, even though it may not even be a date.
I remember that back on my first days in the Mystic Cavern, Minerva teached me how to configure my own resistances and decrease it, but I developed a better version of that ability.
I named it as , it allows me to reduce, increase or straight up delete all of my target's resistances FOREVER or affect a specific aspect of an resistance, such as instead of decreasing all the poison resistance, I can just decrease the poison effects caused by alcohol and still be able to resist all others poisons, this is literally as Minerva explained, I can create exceptions to my own abilities and resistances.
Of course, if I want to use it in some enemy in a fight or something, I can reduce or delete all of their resistances forever, but I can give it back if I want to.
Also, I can resist the effects of as well, but I can choose to not resist, because will be useful to reduce my Alcohol Resistance.
I am going to a party after all, I don't mind getting drunk there, and Minerva can save me if something bad happens.
Hmm... talking about renaming skills... this reminds me that is a really bad and generic name, I should rename it and add extra effects... yeah, the new name will be , God, I feel like I am amazing now (LOL), I can think about the extra effects later, I will try to rename ALL OF MY SKILLS HAHAHA
[You disappoint me.]
Yeah I know.
Also, before going back to Vansha, I will use my to spread Poison, Radiation, Acid and others corrosive properties at once in my territory, I can resist these effects just fine, but humans can die instantly if they approach my territory, I am a genius.
The Mystic Guardians seems to be happy that I am here, maybe I will change their appearance to make them looks like humans later.
I actually want humans to explore this dungeon, that's why I created an amazing magic, .
It allows me to revive the deads as several types of undeads and freely control it.
It also allows me to control the already existing undeads and turn the living beings into undeads and control them, basically, necromancy, yeah.
All of this stuff in my past life would be enough to make me vomit and never be able to sleep again, but a good part of my mindset already changed, because I'm a monster.

But hey, it's not really a big deal, right? I can use , a Skill with Purification properties.
I can use it to purify corrupted beings, corrupted spirits and curses in general.
I also can use it to revive the deads in their normal state and purify the undeads.
It will be useful during my journey in this world.
...
...
I sent several types of undead through the dungeon, I still need to stabilize their powers and strengths, because humans need to be able to deal with them after all.
I also realized long time ago that my existence emanates a lot of mana, but I used my energy control and dissipated this large mana concentration, and then, the supposed Legendary Beast (Me) that appeared in the Mystic Cavern will become just a rumor.
God, I hate the fact that they consider me a Legendary Beast, okay, I am a monster, but not in my heart, right? Well, actually, my heart kinda changed as well, like, I don't even mind killing people, I just avoid it because I have morals, oof, this is depressing as fuck.
Well, time to go to Vansha.
✧✦✧
I used my Skill to appear in Vansha and at the same time, I casted to hide in a shadow, it would be bad if someone see that I can teleport.
A good thing about is that I can hide and move in any existing shadow, and the fact that it is already night time makes it much easier.
Well, nobody is looking here, I will undo the then.
As soon as I undid it, my body started to be materialized from the darkness, this is weird as fuck, like, REALLY weird, I mean, imagine if you are just walking around, and then, someone starts to appear from the darkness, you would be scared, right?
Well, I would, at least in my past life.
Oh my... I definitely should stop talking to myself hahaha...
[You are depressing.]
Yeah, yeah, I know.
...
Ah, here we are.
The tavern.
Woah, what a good smell, and I haven't even entered yet.
I can hear sounds of laughter, shouting and things being broken... what's even happening? Why the hell Lynn invited me to a place like this... I already doubted that it was a date, but now, I'm completely sure that this is not a date...
As soon as I open the wooden doors, I am faced with a chair being thrown in my direction.
''AAAAAGH, what the fuck?'' I screamed, but nobody even cared about me, it seems that some people are fighting there, so, the chair being thrown at me was probably an accident... I think.
I pretend that nothing has happened and sit down on a chair with an empty table.
''Huh, this is a very beautiful place, hmm?'' I spoke to myself.
This tavern is made of stone walls with some wood constructs, the tables are well crafted, even though it is made of wood, it actually looks really interesting, as this is literally a fantasy word, I'm getting really excited.
What strikes me most is the fact that I can see a collection of weapons and armors all over the corner, it seems that they are for sale too.
It seems that everyone in this tavern knows each other, they laugh together, sing together and even fight together, I wish I had friends like that...
Meh, if I can't have friends, I'm going to kick everyone's ass here.
''Hey, what's your order?'' A bald man, with several scars on his body, with a sharp gaze and a dominating mustache has appeared, he carries the menu so he must be the waiter, and according to the way that he looks, he seems to be an adventurer or at least used to be one, I could check his STATS, but I don't want to use in the tavern.
''Ah... I don't really know, this is my first time in a tavern, you can choose whatever you want for me.'' I said.
''Alright, I will ask the chef to prepare something that you will love.''
''Thanks.''
...
A few minutes have passed, the waiter is bringing my food.
''Here is your order, Salted Pork, Boiled Potatoes and Beer, enjoy your meal.''
''Thanks sir!'' The waiter smiled and went off to serve other people.
Aaaaah, God.
The pork tastes so fucking good, it is as if my taste buds take me to heaven, and the taste of the potato makes a perfect match with the pork's taste.
Now... the beer...
I never drank beer in my past life... I'm a bit scared of this.
Uuf... so bitter...
I didn't really liked the taste, but it was my first sip... I should try to drink a bit mo— ''Ayo lady, whatcha doin' in this tavern? This is a place for strong people, such as adventurers like me, I am a D-Rank Adventurer, my name is Ralph, it seems that you need my help, do want to hang out with me? I can protect you.'' Ugh, this Ralph guy is hitting on me, he's wearing leather clothes and is equipped with an iron sword, the worst part is the fact that he thinks that I'm weak... also, he stinks. ''Hmm, I'm sorry, I just want to eat my meal, I'm not in the mood to hang out'' I spoke in a gentle way to try to avoid conflict, and it's not like I was going to accept it anyways. But I wasn't expecting what happend next... Ralph hit the table and spilled my food and my beer on the floor ''Hah? How could you disrespect me? I am a D-Rank Adventurer, the Great Ralph, it is impossible for a girl to refuse to go out with me.'' ''You... pay... pay for another meal for me, NOW.'' I said angrily, but trying to keep my composure. ''If you don't pay and apologize... I will tear you to pieces.'' ''Hahahahaha, but you are just a girl, how could you even think about hurting me, a strong man?'' ''Let's fight, if I win, you will pay another meal for me and give ALL your money, and if you win, I give all my money, I have around twenty thousand ráis.'' I proposed. ''I have a better idea, if I win, you will be mine, but sure, if you win, which is impossible, I pay another meal for you and give all of my money.'' Ralph said quite confidently, it seems that he really trusts his strength. ''Sure.'' Everyone in the tavern started betting and laughing, but it seems to be for Ralph, no one is on my side, not that I care. ''HAAAAAAAA!!!!'' Ralph ran towards me ready to attack, his fist started to catch fire, it seems to be his special attack. ''Take this, FIRE PUNCH!!!'' Moving at a speed beyond human limits, Ralph landed his punch in my belly, I could have easily dodged it, but it wouldn't have been fun. The shockwaves from Ralph's technique spread throughout the tavern, causing strong winds that knocked over several chairs. It seems that everyone in the tavern is scared, after all, from their perspective, a strong adventurer just used a powerful technique on a girl's belly. But appearances can be deceiving. The sound of something cracking could be heard and Ralph began to scream loudly, the bones in his hand started to shake as they crashed into my belly, of course, I am far stronger. ''W-What happend? Did she cheated?'' People started to talk and worry, after all, they had bet their money on Ralph. ''MUAAAA, I-IM SORRY, I CAN GIVE YOU ALL MY MONEY, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME'' Ralph began to cry like a baby, seriously, this is really weird, I even feel guilty, it is as if I am bullying a child. I pointed my hand forward and casted a basic healing magic that relieves light pain and minor injuries, I could even heal him completely, but people would suspect me. ''Hah? D-Did you spared me? Ralph asked frightened. ''I mean, you begged me to not hurt you, so... yeah?'' ''Nhnn, a-alright, b-but I have no money to give to you... at least not here, I accepted the challenge because I thought it would be easy to beat you...'' Oof, he judged my appearance, sad. ''...Just get out of here.'' As soon as I spoke, Ralph ran out of the tavern and away while crying. Heck, all I did was draw unnecessary attention... I could have been eating without anyone calling, but now, everyone is looking at me... Ahhhgh, whatever. I walked over to the table I was at before and sat down on the chair, I looked at the waiter who had served me before and he came over to me. ''Y-Yes, what's your oder?'' He asked in an intimidated way, honestly, I didn't expect him to act like this, after all, he seems quite strong. ''The same as before.'' I answered. ''Alright.'' And then, he left and went to tell the chef about my order. ''My my, that was amazing to watch.'' A voice I know just spoke to me, of course, it's Lynn. She is wearing a beautiful black dress and several knives can be found strapped to her body, it seems that she ready for anything. ✧✦✧ ''Haha, seriously, I didn't expected Ralph to be defeated so easily, mainly that you were the one who defeated him.'' Lynn giggles while eating. ''Don't you underestimate me too much? You even put me as F-Rank...'' ''Hey, please, don't be offended by that, okay? As I said, I wasn't aware of your strength before, but you could defeat a D-Rank Adventurer easily, I will give you a better rank later, don't worry.'' She spoke as she took long sips of her beer. ''Sure...'' ''By the way, you are drinking with difficulty, has something happened? ''Ah, not really, it's just the first time that I drink beer.'' ''Oh, I see, well, so, how about we make a deal?'' ''A deal?'' ''Yeah, a competition, the best way for the first time drinking is a competition of who can drink the largest quantity of beer, didn't you know? ''I don't think this is true...'' I answered in a sincere way, I mean, it doesn't even makes sense. ''But it's true, hey, Arnold, come here.'' It seems that the name of the waiter who served me before is Arnold. ''What's your order?'' ''Beer, A LOT OF IT, she and I will have a beer-drinking competition.'' ''Alright.'' ''HEY, I DIDN'T AGREED WITH THAT'' I said startled ''Don't worry, you will be fine.'' She giggles. ''Ugh...''' ... ''Here's your order.'' Arnold brought a giant keg full of beer. ''Let's drink, Luzia.'' ''Geez...'' ''First Round, DRINK.'' Arnold told us to drink, and we did, each mug of beer being almost a whole liter. ''Hahahahaha, you're doing well for your first turn, Luzia.'' Lynn has a fit of laughter. ''Round Two, DRINK.'' ... ... ''Round Five, DRINK.'' ''Gee, has anyone ever told you that this dress looks beautiful on you, Lynn?'' ''Hoho, thanks for the compliment.'' ''Round Fifteen, DRINK.'' ''Lynn, can you please hug me?'' ''Huh, what?'' ''Please hug me, I really want to feel your breasts'' ''My my, are you perhaps... drunk?'' ''Please hug me...'' ''Should I hug you? Or should I tease you more?'' ''Nmmhm, p-please, hug me.'' ''Huh, can't be helped.'' Lynn came over to me and gave me a hug. ... ''Oh my, haha, why are you crying?'' Lynn giggled as I cried. ''I-Im sorry, I just... I... I wanted a frien—'' My consciousness faded away. ✧✦✧
