《Re:Ferret》Chapter 20 - Masks That We Have to Wear

Author's Spot: Ladies and Gentlemen!
I am back! You may be thinking why I didn't post a chapter las week and all... well, I didn't forgot to write the chapter, it was a small problem with my laptop that made me not be able to write... the space bar died and I had left it to repair on a store.
You all may be thinking: ' You could use your phone to write and then post here!' Yes, I could use my phone to write and I did that... for 2 days... after that my imagination died and I couldn't really write anymore.
[table=brown]LIES!!! I SAW YOU WRITING A NEW IDEA AND IT WAS GOOD![/table]
Screen... this is my place... *Cough* Well, it is a pain to correct things on my phone using de G-drive so I didn't post any chapter that week. But I may say... that you are going to like the next few chapters!
Have a furry read!
Incarnus PoV
“Calm down Freya! You don’t need to jump on me like that!” I shout at the chick that is jumping around my lap while I try to write down some things I had discovered after observing her for a while.
Freya is energetic in the morning but will sleep after it gets dark, and the sounds she makes are to tell me either that she is hungry or that someone is entering the place we are at. Now she is jumping on my lap while chirping happily because I made a nest for her.
It is small but it is hot enough so that she will not get cold and cool enough to not make it too hot. It is enchanted make it comfortable for her to live inside it and she can use her own magic if she wants to alter it herself.
By the way, I discovered that my Basic Magic now evolved to just Magic. I just observed the small Phoenix using her magic and tried to copy what she did, and my magic skill evolved without losing the properties it had before. It made me able to cast spells that are more powerful than before and I can now cast more spells as well. The only problem is that I can’t cast more than two elemental spells together since I needed to concentrate on how to create the spells, so for now I can just use two together… the skills are a bit easier to use since I just need to think the name.
Today is my birthday. I am one year old and from the looks of it I have to think of a surname since my body is now officially considered adult by the system. I wanted to choose one for myself but Alice’s parents, Astael to be more exact, insisted that they were going to be the ones that will chose my name because this way their daughter will not have a husband with a strange surname. They said they will tell me when it is dinner time, so I have to deal with it for now.
It looks like this world doesn't much care about birthday parties, but they do something special amongst the family, but it is basically just a cake. I was not allowed to enter the kitchen or go out to run errands for the people inside the castle like usual, which is the reason why I am here playing with Freya.
She didn’t grow that much, just 2 or 3 centimeters, and her chirp is now more powerful. She can eat anything she wants, but the thing is that she asks for more of my mana and it is tiring to feed her every single day 30% of all my mana, but I feel that it is surprisingly useful because she stops asking for it for nearly half a day so I just feed her with mana twice per day.

[table=brown]You’re ignoring me these days… I feel like I wasn’t needed anymore…[/table]
‘Obviously I would ignore you. You always ask if you can watch us having sex and you even asked it a few minutes ago!’ I tell the stupid Screen while I try to decide what I should wear for today’s dinner.
[table=brown]But you only let me film the first time you did it with Alice! I want to have more videos that I can show you whenever you want! And that way I can kill my boredom while you’re not doing anything evil enough to be called a demon or good enough to be called a hero…[/table]
‘You’re right… even Freya hasn’t leveled up these few days since she was born… and I need to level up a bit if I want to win against the Heroes.’ I tell the Screen as I change my clothing. It is a simple white shirt with black pants.
[table=brown]Good to know that you understand it, and since I can tell you this intel, they are stronger than you. It is known in every part of the world that the six heroes are powerful and that they can win easily against almost everything.[/table]
‘Thanks for the unuseful information… I know that already. Even though that Richard guy was a pain in the ass I could tell that he is far more powerful than he acts he is.’ I get a blue cloak to place over the shirt and pants.
[table=brown]No, don’t go with blue, get the brown one. It will look good on you.[/table]
‘Errrr… That is strange… you sounded just like a woman now.’ I almost jumped when Screen said that.
[table=brown]Hm? I never told you? I am female.[/table]
I was shocked so I just stared at nothingness until Freya appears chirping, with Alice running after her.
‘BUT BUT BUT! YOU ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE A MAN!’ I scream in my heart as soon as I got over the shock.
[table=brown]No, I was designed to be female. I think that every Brown Screen was female. I’m not sure because I don’t have the other Screens’ memories.[/table]
‘... The buddy in my head is female! Noooo!!! I thought you were a man! All the things you talked about just made me think you were male!’ I cry in my mind to not let Alice discover the problem.
[table=brown]How rude! I was always female, it was you that never asked me about that. Anyway, go get the brown cloak, it will match with the clothes you’re going to use. Even Alice will tell you that if you ask her.[/table]
‘I doubt it.’ I tell her as I take both cloaks to show to Alice. “Alice, which one should I use?” I show Alice and the phoenix that is on the floor the clothes.
“I think the brown one will look good on you.” Alice says, and Freya chirps while she moves a step closer to the brown one.
“Et tu Brutus!” I shout as I place the brown cloak beside my clothes. “It looks like today I’ll be wearing these clothes…” I say as I walk to the bathroom to take my shower.
I enter the dining room with Alice, who is wearing a beautiful white dress, and a colorful chick that is sitting on my head, and what I see made my eyes go round. The table is filled with tons of fruits, sweets, cakes, cookies, and diverse types of meat.
I look at Alice just to hear that she was chuckling.

“You know, we all prepared it while we made sure that you were working since last night.” She smiles at me and I facepalm.
“Your family really likes to make everything luxurious… how do they intend to make us eat all of this?” I gesture to the table and Alice shakes her head.
“It may look like it is too much, but my family is bringing their pets… so it is nothing because all of them are going to eat with us.” She says and waves her free hand to mother-in-law. She had a Pegasus beside her. It was black and lustrous.
“Mother-in-law, you really surprised me with this many things… Even the brainless pets are here.” I say as I look at Mira and Wendy with their cerberus and griffon. “Oh, the little prince is there on his mount hydra… She doesn’t feel sick to be his personal mount?” I tilt my head as I ask that just to be rewarded by a chirp on my ear.
“I don’t know but we all used our pets as mounts when we were small.” Astael answer looking at her daughters. “I think I never told you that this is my pet, his name is Jack.” She pats the head of her pet with affection.
“Who is this creature that thinks that he is powerful enough to be with one of the princesses of this kingdom?” The horse, Jack, said.
“Sorry to not present myself before you, pegasus Jack. I am Incarnus, a Ferret Beastkin, and today I am going to receive my surname. This is my pet, Freya, an Arcane Emperor Phoenix.” I present ourselves to the pegasus that had a surprised look in his eyes.
“Interesting… you are the second person to hear me talk besides my master.” He says as he nods his head.
“It looks like I gave a good impression after presenting myself to him.” I tell Astael and she nods behind her fan.
“It looks like I am not the only one that can hear him talking anymore… that is good.” She chuckles and let us go to feast ourselves on the various delicious things that were on the table. I did notice from the corner of my eye that everyone except for Alice was surprised I could hear the Pegasus.
I was surprised to see a few nobles that I haven’t met before and I had to talk with them all, some wanted to make me marry their kids but I declined it because I already had one woman and she was everything I wanted to have, for now.
[table=brown]I know that you want the female Heroes… but you need to try to win against them first.[/table]
‘Did you forget that I have the Domination skill? I can just fuck them and they will be mine!’ I laugh madly in my mind as I continue to greet the nobles with manners that I thought I would never use.
[table=brown]You say that but they all have some sort of resistance… do you think that they wouldn’t be able to resist your D with their powerful status?[/table]
‘You have a good point, and I think I’ll not be able to win against them if I am to go head on… so I think I need to level up a bit more, though alchemy will surely have one or two useful potions, look at my memories of chloroform.’ I eat a piece of delicious meat, I don’t know what this thing is but the chef gained 100 points!
[table=brown]It's not 'I think I need to'... you have to level up. What would you do if the male Heroes discover that Alice is the woman of a demon? What do you think they would do to her? You have to level up not for you, but for her.[/table]
‘You sure have a point… I should start leveling up now to try to fight against the Heroes.’ I think as I continue to have a bit of fun, discovering some of the dirt of some families through the gossip the nobles let me know about.
It is now 23:00 and Astael called me over to the small stage they had prepared for this occasion.
“We are here today to name the boy, that never received his surname, for helping my daughter, Alice, to complete her mission a few months ago. Today he is going to receive a surname that fits him.” Astael started to make a speech and I can say that it was boring, even Freya is already sleeping after eating my mana.
I just stopped listening to the speech after that part while trying to think about what I should do to level up fast enough to be able to protect Alice.
“.. and today I, Astael von Hefeweizen, grant you the surname Aeron. You will now be known as Incarnus Aeron.” She said, and two windows popped up before my eyes after I said that I accepted my name.
[table=brown]You gained two levels!You gained 24 points to use on skills and stats. The Queen Astael von Hefeweizen gave you a surname due to recognising your achievements, and with your Hero's honor you will value it.[/table]
[table=brown]You gained a level!You gained 12 points to use on skills and stats. The Queen Astael von Hefeweizen gave you a surname, and with your knowledge of the other world you discovered the meaning of the name and the Demon inside you reacted to it.AeronCarnage, Slaughter[/table]
‘Wow… she knows the meaning of that name, right?’ I asked myself as I answered Astael’s name giving ceremony with the words I have learned while studying under the manners’ tutor she had hired to teach me.
[table=brown]I think that she doesn’t know the meaning of the name and just thought that it would sound good for you… and I agree with her. The name is a perfect match with your appearance and race.[/table]
‘I can’t deny that…’ I agree with him while we continued to party until it was midnight and all the nobles were going home after the conclusion of the ceremony and all the food was consumed.
I walk with Alice to our bedroom and in my arms I have a sleeping phoenix. Freya is not fond of sleeping away from me so she sleeps in the same bedroom as us, unfortunately...
Millena PoV
‘Tell me… why are we here?’ I ask Screen.
[table=purple]How should I know? You said that you couldn’t stay with the others anymore and parted before thinking… and now we are lost… again[/table]
‘I know! It is just that I never came to this part of the world before… It is strange that I can’t see any kind of monster or corrupted animals around here…’ I say to her.
[table=purple]You’re right… it looks like the citizens around here hunt the corrupted before they turn into monsters, but it is strange… normally one or two would always get away and spread the corruption.[/table]
‘That is true… well, let’s just walk a bit and see if we can find any kind of citizen around this place.’ I say turning to my left. ‘Let’s go to the left.’
[table=purple]... That is not your left… and you’re walking to the right… STOP THAT! How the hell can you be so bad with directions?![/table]
‘I am not bad with directions! it is that I can’t walk too well in this place that I never saw before.’ I tell her and I continue to walk in the direction I have chosen.
I walked for a few days while discussing with Purple Screen about the things I have done wrongly from her point of view; but I did nothing wrong.
‘Look! It is a city!’ I think as I see the wall that protects it from attacks. I was a bit surprised that I didn’t have this city mapped, but it was a long time ago that I really walked more than what was needed.
I reach the city’s gate and I see that it didn’t stop people walking in or out. I like this kind of place because I can enter easily, do what I want, and then leave the city.
There was a line of people that wanted to enter so I join at the end while thinking what I should say to the guards that were talking with the people that wanted to enter the city.
[table=purple]Why do you not use the same story as always? The one that you are here to buy something for your father that is ill and you couldn’t find it near your house.[/table]
‘I used that excuse too many times already… it looks like I have no creativity to come up with new ideas about things to say to the guards before entering towns.’ I say to Screen some ideas and all of them are rejected because it was too stupid or unbelievable.
“State your name and what you are going to do in this city!” A guard stopped me and I haven’t decided on a good thing to tell the guards.
“My name is Millena Gruyn and I came here to get medicine for my ill father. I couldn’t find anything in my village and the healer there is using all his power to control the illness so I came the fastest I could so that I could buy the potion I need.” I used the one I always use and I could hear Screen laughing.
“Are you carrying any weapons?” The guard asked me and I show him that I am not wearing any weapon. “So a magician?” I nod at his words and he gives me a pass to stay for a few days in the city as I needed to buy the potion and leave quickly after that.
I receive a small lecture to not do strange things because there is a ruthless ‘prince’ in the town and he doesn’t like people that make a mess of his city.
“I’ll be sure to not do anything that would piss off the prince.” I say to the guard and waving to him I enter the city.
[table=purple]You were lucky that the guard didn’t want to grab you for himself. Were you using magic to show him a false image of yourself?[/table]
‘I did that in order to not look like one of the Heroes… it is a pain to be asked out every few minutes while I walk.’ I tell the Screen and I feel her nodding. ‘Where do you think I should go now?’ I asked her.
[table=purple]Anywhere since we are already lost…[/table]
I look around and find that I am completely lost… again. ‘Why does this have to happen every day?!’ I scream in my head while I continue to walk to my right.
I walked for a few hours, getting some information where I could find an inn but Screen, that helped to guide me, was sulking because I said that she was stupid and that I could do things better without her.
I continued to walk while trying to figure out where the inn was as I bump into a beastkin, both of us fall on the ground. I didn’t feel the hard floor so I open my eyes and I notice that I am on top of him and that one of his hands is touching my thighs.
“Are you okay?” The boy says in a clear voice and I notice the blue eyes, murky white hair with a dark line on it, and that his clothes were of high quality.

No Strings Attached [Rewritten]
Warning Just so you know, you better be paying attention to the chapter title or else it's going to be like travelling across multiverses. Explanation Due to a single comment made by a wonderful person, or some douchebag in real life, I have decided to create two seperate stories. A rewritten version, and the original version. The rewritten version will somewhat follow the original storyline of the original version, but will have extra content, extra side stories of course rewritten personalities. The original one will be like a rough draft of where I want the story to go. Like for instance, the original story is like the first Link from 'Legend of Zelda', choppy but fun to read. The rewritten story is the Link from any game during and after Windwaker, smooth and somewhat follows the main premise. Overall both are going to be probably terribly done but hey, I'm creating a furture and past story so what should you expect. - Styx Whatever just put up the revised description. - Ariel Edited Summary Jay W. Blu, a dashing and charming rich boy who's been spoiled his whole life. He is very cocky, has a case of egomania and isn't exactly what you call a 'Relatable Main character', unless you somehow fit one of these descriptions and then relate all you want. He had everything you would probably want if you weren't pessimistic, realistic, or chronically depressed. But as most reincarnation/summoning stories go, he get's himself killed at whatever age he was and is sent to another world. Normally, he would be summoned as something you would call a hero, but since that's to cliche by my standards he is something else. Instead of being the hero of the people that he was told about by a friend, he instead summoned as the anti-hero aka, 'The Hero of Demons'. Now he must traverse the lands slaying opposing heroes as he tries to keep his mind straight, although it's to late. There will be weird people along the journey like a fangirling war general, a hive mind and a manly magical girl? Oh well, Jay is too pure to see love anyways.
