lvl1 hero slave pt11
(narrator)
The turning point from which dragonnewts became an independent force from dragons happened at this meeting. While the dragonnewts and dragons retained their good relations threw out the entire history of the empire, the micromanagement that the dragons always did to their followers from this point on started to turn away from dragons being the chiefs of their respective tribes and clans and started to become spiritual leaders and guides. This also joined the eternally splintered dragon forces into a single force against the humans. While this did not last due to personal vendettas and squabbles it became a base and foundation for future generations to work from.
As for the young one that the empress and other rebels saved he became the central pillar of the spiritual guidance to the lesser blood kins of the dragons till his dying day after over three thousand years. Even at the end of his life he would think on the days of when he was caged like an animal by the humans and of his gratitude to his saviors. He became the sole dragon in the empires history to ever be enslaved and sole voice among them to forever fight against slavery.

I moved threw the cave system after the pass was secured at both ends. Only dragonnewts and lizkin were with me. The most trusted of my loves subordinates. I know why they were there. Even if I have earned their trust. Even if I have proven all I could. I am after all a human. Something they will never trust fully. I do not blame my love's doubt. In fact I respect it. I do not want a blind obedient lover. I want one that thinks and feels for herself. As we pass threw a mage study we come to a ritual pool. The miasma is already thick here. Thicker than by what contained in myself by several dozen times over. I close my eyes to ponder what I should do as I think on my quest.
Purify the voice of the world
Difficulty- world rank
task- collect miasma and release it in a world point to be purified
optional task- use the miasma you collect to gain control of the world point by force to become a greater demon
reward- world rank reward
I reread the quest in the menu and ponder if the menu itself is a part of the world or a system of another type. However the answer is plain. The task says collect miasma and release it to be purified. So all I got to do is absorb it and release it. I move to the alter and remove my clothing. Right now I need no barriers between as much flesh and the miasma as possible. I spread my arms and look up as if greeting god's warm embrace as the miasma starts to pour into my body. What greeted me instead was pain. A thousand worth of slave curses, ten thousand, a million and more. When it reach such heights I began to scream. Scream in agony. Scream in pain. Scream in fear. I can feel the dragon blooded ones behind me watching afraid and nervous as well. Time seemed to have stopped for them as it is stretched for myself. An hour to days to years to centuries and beyond. All with the single purpose of absorbing the miasma. My body and soul passed it limits long ago but I held a fragment of a man I once was. Black blood came from my pores and orifices. Vile bile came from my anus and penis. But eventually I was finished after surviving a living hell. For a fraction of a moment I felt the torment of so many. Nearly slipped from reality and succumb to the power. With the last of my will I took a step forward before falling forward and landing flat on my chest. I reached for the water and barely got a finger into it. As soon as I came in contact with the water I spoke weakly. " Soul rend." And then I passed out. Notice skill evolved.
World curse master(ultimate)- a final evolution of the curse series. By completing the 'voice of the world' quest all your abilities to bestow curses normally have been sealed. In it's place the world has granted you this ability. You are immune to all debuff skills and have all positive known buff skills applied to you at all times. Those that are hostile to you inside your curse defense field will be applied with all known debuff skills and will no longer be able to buff. Your range of your curse defense field is 100% greater and no longer requires miasma but WE (world energy). Remember the world is always watching you.
When I came aware again I have felt my body been destroyed and remade. Over and over again and again. At times I was a demon. Other times and angel. More and more times than lifetimes I could have lived. I understood everything one instant and forgot it the next. But none of that was a concern for my current moment. The one, Loren, was on top of me. For a moment I thought it was my mate. She looked as if a hungry predator and I was the prey. 'You're awakened?' I heard from the one I originally thought was on top of me. My mind was as hazy as my vision and I could not move or speak if I desired it. I remember now that my love told me that Loren would be going into her mating period soon. I can feel a difference from her if I concentrate from that of my love and the catkin. She was far less experienced and forced her body to obey her whims. I awoke shortly after she started but it was after my first burst of pleasure that I had the fortitude and awareness to truly understand and act. I lift my head and raise my arm to take hers to make her roll over. The surprise made her unsure as I took control. It was the little strength I recovered while resting I would guess, but I moved slower than her. I took into account the differences in her body and mine. The smell of her own blood made her more aggressive but my dominance suppressed that. It did not take long for my sensual touching of her body and rhythmic actions to make her tense tightly. This is the first time I have had a virgin and a woman peek. I thought that as I could not hold back more and lost strength. 'Wow, I might have trained you too well. A virgin dragonnewt is said to be the hardest woman to please next to the great ones themselves.' I barely collected my thoughts in my head as I heard Loren panting under me. 'I guess the mystery of it will be embraced by you soon.' I hear my love laugh. 'Do not tempt me to interfere. I am barely keeping myself dignified as it is.' I smiled humored as I was done with all I could do willingly and lost consciousness again. Notice vigor +3.
They say love is war and the battles continued while I was out. My love brought me to the other side of the pass as hundreds of humans and their slaves pushed it amounted to nothing. My body wanted to sleep but my mind refused. Perhaps it had something to do with the one I was using as a lap pillow. My love was awake still as well watching the battle. 'You need a distraction.' I thought to her as she turned away to me. It will not do her any more good to see more death. 'Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Tell me anything. Just talk.' She smiled as she stoked my hair. " Tell me about heros." I paused as I swallowed. This is not a topic I was expecting. 'Well they are idiots.' She only looked at me not understanding. I sighed and took her hand 'We are fools and morons. And I include myself in this. We are, after all, from another world and are unfamiliar with yours. To cope with this we substitute our logic for yours.' She grasped perhaps one or two bits of what I just said as I took another slow deep breath. 'All right. We think of this as a game.' Now I feel her insulted. 'Wait now. I am not toying with you. That is the process the humans use to make the heros cope. We are beaten and strengthened then put on a leash of a woman, a companion, that follows them faithfully.' I get off her lap and sit with a knee raised and my arm on it. I make an image of the princess I was suppose to be bound to with my misama. 'To put it simply. I was summoned, slaved, and strengthened like normal. So they loosened my collar. But I escaped that collar before I became their pet.' She takes my free hand and grips it worried feeling my emotions. I take a moment before making a fist and destroying the image of the princess. 'I did see this world as a game as well. It is not hard to cope because of that. But the moment we were together in that cave and talked. The moment our flesh came together in acceptance. I believed this is my life. I do not believe in second chances or things like that when it comes to my life. I live my life how I want and with the will of who I want included. Right now you my love is included in that.' She did not know what to say or feel to that. She could tell this is a very serious and troubling topic. " I understand. You are not like the other heros who keep harems." I blink a moment. Is that why she asked I wondered a moment and she felt my humor. 'You expect me to sleep with every woman I meet? My loins can barely handle you.' I was glad her mood was better as she pulled my back to rest on her lap. " So why do heros have so many women following them?" I thought about it. In truth other than Kiko and her sister and Loren I never been with another woman. I turned to logic of my old world. 'It's a mans dream I guess. Ow ow owwwww. Let me explain before you pinch me again. Every man wants to leave his mark on the world. A legacy to be shown threw out time.' She give me a moment and I rub my arm where her talon like nails made bleed lightly. 'If I had to guess, being I am not a typical hero, is that they seek high quality women in quantity to make many babies. Honestly my libido would kill me if I had a dozen women. And I would be mad from all their attention. That is why instead of a high number of decent quality women I went with one highest quality one." Strangely I felt her happy hearing that. " I knew it was a smart thing to let you be with others. You must know the fruits of other trees to know the one you like best." I swallowed hard and closed my eyes. 'After this battle lets rest in each others arms for a few days. I want to learn a few ways to taste your fruit.' She lets out a dragonisk sound of pleasure to me saying that as I feel her mind finally becoming easy. Notice quest 'found an empire' longevity increased by 50 years. Chances of successful founding increased by .5%
