《Rivalry I Live for》Chapter 14. Bend it to your Will
Advertisement
“Awesome…”
Trying to grip the weapon, I couldn’t. It wasn’t there, my palm was empty, my weapon disintegrated into vapor. A shadow covered my body, protecting me from the weakened confused Yeti, it hovered over the air as we speak with the help of Diamond. Quickly I drank my remaining health potions and helped her push the ice shield that protected me into the wounded Yeti.
Yeah, that’s right. If she shares my stats, that means she has the same amount of strength I do… Never underestimate those tiny pets...
Passive skill of weapon discoveredBend it to your willShapeshift the Diamond Axe of IceOnly useable in the cold
Heh, time for payback!
The sudden shield bash with the ice shield that had double my strength, toppled the Ice Yeti onto the floor, smearing the blood onto the icy platform. With a malicious smile I held the air above my head, turning the shield back into vapor as it builded itself to the axe on my palm. This was a perfect moment to end the boss fight. No, I can’t end it like this, I needed something stronger, something that packs more impact, something heavy… Yes… I want a gigantic axe.
With my will, the cold and chilly air surrounded the axe, the axe grew so large, that it was the three times my size as I held it upwards the air, bearable able to balance it, Diamond flew to the top of the edge with a smile.
Heh, call me the duo executioner…
“CHOP!”
3x Critical dmg dealt
Splitting the Yeti in two, the remains of the creature, started to be covered in crystals of frost, it soon after turned into snow and vanished into thin air, as if the wind caught the snow of the remains.
Anyways, a chest appeared at the middle of the arena, as pop up windows blocked my view.

“HAHAHAHA, piece of cake!” I said, brushing the sweat with my tattered pelt.
“So, that’s why only one spell came with the class!” So far at least…
“With the cold air I can shape the weapon to my desire… Even naughty stuff…” I coughed.
“AHem, let’s loot the chest, shall we Diamond-chan?” I said, smiling towards her.
“Yes master!”
Walking towards the middle with a large and decorated half gold and wooden chest. I slowly opened the lid with trembling hands, what can it be? Excitement took over me with a chill that ran through my spine, as a strong light shone out from the gap, waiting to reveal the glory of the loot. I opened it…
Eh…
“What’s wrong master?” She said, hovering above my right shoulder.
Item AcquiredPink dressArmor Type:ClothPhysical Defense:5Durability:10/10Magical Defense:1Usage restriction:1 StrengthThe Yetis love women, especially cute ones. They usually steal their clothes as a keepsake, this is one of them...
… No way! There must be something else in there!?
I stuck my head inside the chest, trying to find if I had missed anything… There was nothing. Picking up the chest to be sure, I shook it upside down, yet… There was nothing.
Walking towards a icy wall with my chest, I bashed it multiple times in hope that something would drop…
“BASH!”
“BASH!”

“...”
“Diamond…”
“Yes?”
“Yetis don’t turn into snow flakes when they die right?”
“No they don’t” She said, smiling and patting my head as if she praised my knowledge.
“...”
I fell on my knees… Hands touching the icy floor. A breeze flew by me... “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”, The eagles scattered into the air, never coming back.
…
As twilight started to appear, I climbed out of the hole with a large shapeshifted ice pick like a mountain climber.
“Master, you could have used my ice spell to create a stair you know?”
“...”
Why you tell it to me now! URGH! I kicked the smooth snow on top of the mountain that scattered everywhere.
Sigh… It’s no use… I can’t blame the her after all… Should’ve asked first...
Now, where is the direction to Winter’s Hold…
Aha, over there. Hmm… It’s pretty far from the mountain… Douglas couldn’t have gotten far, I hope?
Heh… I’d better follow the footprints while I can!
“Diamond, come over here”
“Huh, why?”
“Can’t I snuggle with you once in a while?”
“Eh… Sure…” She said, flying towards me.
Quickly I gently grabbed her, jumped into the air and said “Sledge!!”
“Wiiiieeeeeeee!”
She lost consciousness from the speed…
…
As I rode the Sledge!! down the snowy mountain ridge, dodging trees and stones. I finally caught up with Douglas that was ill equipped to either climb the mountain with his unprepared clothings or climb down.
“Douglas! JUMP!!!” I screamed as snow scattered fiercely to the side.
“Huh?” He turned around, confused, trembled and started to run for no apparent reason..
“Where are you going!” I said, steering towards the running man.
“Avoiding death!”
“...”
Did I look that scary? Meh...
I soon after caught him near the lower part of the mountain and rode the rest of the way towards the town. Actually, pulled by the Oxes. Can’t forget the Oxes.

Really… That’s it?

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
