"Are you a virgin?"Echo asks Karena.
The question makes her blush a little and with a shy voice, she answers"Yes Master."
"And If I were to request you to spend a night with me, would you do it?"he asks, while looking around the floor, not facing Karena.
"If Master wishes it, then yes."she answers with the same shy voice with a little embarrassment in it.
"I see."he turns around to face her"You can leave no."
"Yes Master."she immediately goes back to her usual look and bows, before leaving the door. Once the door has been closed, Echo sighs
'Why did she lie. She isn't a virgin. So If I were to fuck her now, I would be more interested how she got her hymen back. Maybe she got up her ass...But that's not important. I shouldn't get close to the maid or anyone else who works in the castle. They may be friendly towards us, but they are just doing their job and the maids are probably here to find more about us. So If sex is required to get information, they will do it. Have seen it before. Works pretty well.'
He takes off his sneakers and lays down on the queen sized bed with a black wooden frame.
"It's to soft."he says once he has laid down onto the bed and is staring at the white wooden ceiling that is four meters high. The walls and the floor have the same design like all of the corridors they have been walking today. Wooden floor and white walls. But there are no paintings on the walls. Luckily. As for furniture there is a bed, on which Echo is laying on, a nigh stand on either side of the bed, a closet, a dark green couch in front of a coffee table with with two chairs on the others side. There is also a chair in the corner of the room. There's also a door here, which probably leads into the bathroom.
'Easiest way out of here is probably through the window. I'm on a third floor, so I can't just jump out because the distance between the ground and the window is probably about ten meters. I have to climb down few meters and then jump. After that, I don't know. Need to look for more information.'
As he was wondering on the bed, he heard a loud ding and a blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Status has been updated]
"Status."he mutters to himself and immediately a blue screen appears in front of him.

"Fuck."he says. He closes his Status windows and keeps hitting his head at the pillow while repeating"Fuck"
Once he finally has calmed down, he thinks'Thank you status once again reminding my past and that nickname. Thank you you fucking whatever the fuck you are.'
He puts his hands on his face and runs them up his head and then over it, pulling back his long ashen blond hair.
"No one can never see my status. Never."he mutters.
At the same time in the throne room, the priest is talking about the king.
"So what do you think. Will they be able to kill the Seven Deadly Demon Lords?"asks the king from him, who replies"With enough training and good equipment I think it is possible."
"Thats good to hear. Also tell me why you went so quiet after the last hero touched the orb!"he tells him.
"Of course your Majesty. The reason was because his job was something I have never heard of [Master of Cards] it was called. There were also two skills I have also never heard of [Magic Cards] and [Magic Deck]."before he can continue, the king says"It must be something unique to him then. Granted by the Goddess Sola."
"It may be so."he continues"There is also one more thing. His [Sword Mastery] was level eight. One level higher than the Hero Chris. His [Martial Arts] was on the same level as the Hero Chris, level six. When I saw it, I was slightly surprised and didn't say a word. But him. He said to keep my mouth shut after he took of his hand. Why is that?"
"Probably because he doesn't really want to fight."answers the princess"Unlike the other heroes who will do the fighting out of their good will or for the fame, he didn't seem to care. Money. Money is the only thing that interested him slightly. So I suggest that it's easier to pay him and as long as he doesn't do anything, leave him be."
"I agree with most of it, but we can't just leave him be. He is right now stronger then the Legendary Hero and unlike the others, he doesn't seem to be interested in killing the Demon Lords. He seems to have real training unlike the others. If he were to go rogue, the Legendary Hero would probably die."says the king in serious voice.
"You have a point, Father. But If you were to get tamper too much, he will grow to distrust us and increases the chances of going rogue. So for now just let Karena do her job."says the princess.
"Fine. As long as everything is normal, let the maid do her job."says the king to her and then turns to the priest and says"I shall trust you to organize the training."
"It shall be done, your Majesty."replies the priest.

"Then excuse me."he says and leaves the throne room.
"I shall take my leave too."says the princess and leaves the throne room too, leaving only the king and his queen in the room, not counting the knights.
"She seems to like this Master of Cards."
At the same time Echo sneezes in his room."Someone talking about me?"
"Why do you think that, Elizabeth?"he asks his wife and she replies"Elysa did kinda defend him right now and I noticed she was looking at him the most."
"Why would he like him. His appearance is slightly above average and his attitude isn't good at all. I could understand If it were The Legendary Hero, but him. No way."says the king.
"Maybe she just likes bad boys. He did interrupt your talk and cursed in front of the Priest without care. But it's just woman's intuition. Fufufu."she ends with a small giggle.
"It was just rude."The king says to her and she replies"Whatever you say."
Back in Echos room, he is laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling while shuffling cards.
'The cards don't bend so easily like they used to. Why... Wait.'he looks at the back of the card and sees a black background with a white..magic circle? on it. There are also white runes on the corners of the card. The front is the same like always.
'Where the fuck did this deck come from. Let me try.'
He puts the deck onto the night and says"Magic deck."
Nothing.
'Well I didn't expect anything to begin with. Maybe I should just wait for the training and not waste my time.'
'I should also go over my skills'

'Lets try this.'
"[Magic Cards] info"
Immediately a second blue screen pops up with text
[Magic Cards
Allows the person to use any kind of elemental magic by using cards from [Magic Deck].
Restriction: Person can't use magic without cards.]
[Magic Deck
Allows a person to materialize a deck of 54 cards.
Restriction: One deck per 24 hours. Card decks can not stack.]
[Mental Resistance
Persons mind is less effected by any mental attacks.]
[Language Comprehension
Person can understand any language in this world]
Echo doesn't bother checking out the other skills, because they explain themselves pretty well.
'[Magic Cards] and [Magic Deck] it's a strong combo if I'm careful. 54 cards may seem a lot at first but in a long battle, I could easily run out of cards and then I have to relay on martial arts. I won't hold a blade in my hand again. I won't.'
He gets up from the bed and walks up to the window to look outside. He look outside to see the sun setting already. He now moves his gaze down to a see garden outside of the window. The garden is decorated with beautiful flowers and green trimmed bushes.
As he was watching outside, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"he asks and behind the door he hears a reply"Its Karena, Master."
"Enter."he says, while still staring out of the window.
"What do you want?"he asks her and she replies"It's dinner time. If Master wishes, I shall bring you there."
"Okay. Show the way."he says and turns around.
She nods and starts walking with Echo following her. After he stepped out of the room, he closed the door behind him and started walking after her. After going down the stairs and walking for about thirty seconds, he finally reached the dining hall.
She opens the door and he enters first with her after him. The hall dining hall is long and wide room with a ten meter high ceiling with two chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. There are now windows here and the chandeliers Are the biggest light source here. The ceiling itself is supported by four columns and between the columns there was a long ass table. The table itself was covered with a white sheet and had candles burning on the stands. The chairs itself were made out of wood with blue cushions on it. The entire table was covered with food of all sorts.
As he was looking at the hall, he asked Karena"Is there alcohol?"
"I believe so. Why does Master ask?"she asks him and he replies"I probably can't sit through this shit while being sober."
"I understand. Would Master please sit down."she says and he replies.
"Yeah. Why not."he says and walks towards one of the seats and sits down to wait for the rest of the people like other people.
About half of his classmates are here, but the no royal family yet.
'Boring. So fucking boring.'
Few more people enter and sit down on the other side of the table. He immediately smells sweat coming from one of the boys in front of him. He looks in front of him and sees one If the boys with a slightly messy hair.
'Seriously motherfucker. You just couldn't wait for it any longer. You've been here for a few hours and already fucked someone or had the most intense meat beating.'
After a while all of the students and Ms. Evelyn have arrived. They were all having a fun time chatting with each other, when the door was opened and the king entered the room.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
