《True Immortal》 Prologue Faithmold City is known to house ten of the richest families in the world. Due to this there has become a competition for power and wealth among the said families. This competition has caused a lot of other families, both the affluent and the barely scraping families, to either lose their sources of legal income entirely which eventually leads to bankruptcy or force themselves to sell their treasured belongings at best and their own bodies at worst. It is now year 7392, 46 years after the ten houses'' feud for wealth and power. One of the houses had gained the upperhand against the other nine. This caused the other nine houses to carefully try to overtake the leading house. The leading house planned to take govern of the whole country by using their numerous connections. Eventually the leading house''s plan to rule the country succeeds and now the government of the country of Alenweiss changed from Oligarchy to Monarchy after they crowned the head of the leading house as Alenweiss''s king. The king declared that the his words are law and thus leads to the government becoming an absolute monarchy. The casualties of the competition of the families for 46 years has greatly changed the life of Faithmold''s residents. A few family survived the onslaught of the families on their businesses. Other families are not so lucky, fallen nobles and impoverished families now lives in the slums part of the city scraping for food and tradable materials they can get their dirty hands on. The slums now has 68% of Faithmold''s population. Right now in a dark alley of Faithmold City streets where the floor made of brittle bricks are damped with an unknown liquid that smells fetid a deranged laugh can be heard. "Ufufufu your project is slowly bearing fruit brother." said by a voice that was clearly from an adult male then followed by the sounds hissing. "..." A passing beggar who once belonged to an affluent family heard the laugh and has went to check for the owner of the voice. He took a sneak peek in the corner that seems to be where the eerie voice.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. From the edge of the wall he saw a hulking humanoid lizard standing on two legs and wearing a suit while holding a cylindrical container with one of it''s hands. He could not see the contents of the cylindrical container from afar but he could see the shape of the object to be oblongated. The lizardman seemingly sensing something hissed, his long tongue wriggling up and down its snout. The creature momentarily looked at his direction before turning its back after seeing nothing was there and said in a seemingly carefree voice "Guess I''ll be going home now!" The beggar got scared of this creature so he decided to just walk back to the slums. Just as he took his first step he felt goosebumps, the hairs on his skin perked upwards and his senses kept screaming at him to run away. Feeling like his life would be in danger the longer he stays here the beggar ran...atleast tried to. In his second step something grabbed hold of his foot. After falling belly first on the brittle and rough floor he immediately turned his body around on the floor to look on what is holding his foot. From the floor he saw a ghostly green hands that does not look like it belongs to a human. That''s right, he remembered the lizardman at the dark alley, these hands belongs to the one he saw earlier. Scared, the beggar hurriedly tried to grab hold of the hands holding his foot but his hands just passed through it. He tried kicking it away but both his feet just passed through it. ''How is it holding me then?!'' he screamed inside his mind. He himself could not scream, his breathing has become rough and his voice is like taken away from him. To confirm his terrors the body of the lizardman emerged from the ground. The height of the lizardman is around 8''6 and it''s body is much more muscular than those of the mercenaries that he saw before. The arm of the lizardman was the the size of his head together with another half of his head size. The beggar leaked urine on the already damp and fetid floor. At that moment he saw on it''s tail is the cylindrical container and its content. This further increased his fear for the being before him. What he saw inside the cylindrical container is a disembodied head of a human male- His thoughts were cut off as his vision went black. "I''m sorry gentle sir but I need you to become a toothbrush for my art." said the enourmous lizardman. Those were the last words that the beggar heard before his life forfeited. The next day the people of the slums would find symbols on the road drawn by blood and a person''s freshly disembodied head hung on top of the slum''s gate. The symbols drawn by blood were different from any language known today so everyone in Faithmold city were clueless on what it meant. ?¦¤¡ø ?¡ø¡è¨‹? ¡Á¡ø?|¡Á¡è ???? ?¡Á¡ø¡è¨‹ ?|¡Á?¦¤ ?¦¤¡ø ???? |? ¦¤|¡ª?¡è¡ø?? A1C1:The one bound by blood "I want to eat more~" It''s a dream I''ve been having repeatedly for weeks now. Maybe calling it a dream is innappropiate, it''s a nightmare. A half-naked girl with a shiny silver hair is saying those words while eating MY FLESH! The girl was quite beautiful and if it werent for the fact that she''s eating me alive I would''ve tried to atleast talk to her. This crazy b*tch has been haunting my dreams ever since the incident at the Sariel Town''s yearly crossdressing festival. Yep, we have a crossdressing festival in my hometown *sigh*. Well anyways this cannibal bishoujo infront of me that is currently engrossed in licking and nibbling my organs is wearing the exact same dress I wore for the festival. I also noticed that she would sometimes rub the organs she''s about to eat on her face while making a gesture with his hand that makes it look like she''s hugging it, she usually sighs like a maiden in love right after. I swear this drea-nightmareis slowly chipping away my sanity. *GASP* I woke up right after the cannibal bishoujo sighed as she hugged my liver. I woke up with only a gasp this time. The first week that I''ve had this dream had me screaming everymorning as I wake up but after one week and eight days I surpisingly got used to it. My name is Meshire, a fallen noble child, and I''m currently living with my sister in a rundown appartment. Our family''s surname was something we lost a long time ago after our fall from nobility but if some old acquintance of our father comes they usually call me "Little Mister Andeo" and my sister "Little Miss Andeo". "Bakashire! I HAVE COME WITH GOOD NEWS!" a loud person that I knew very well said early in the morning. Honestly though I do''nt feel like dealing with her right now. Her name is Arian who is also a fallen noble like us. Heiring from the Baleda family she used to be this haughty ojou-sama that likes undermining others but after her house''s fall her personality took a 180. I can''t blame her though, she needed a change in attitude towards her new environment. Lately she''s been bugging me so I tried giving her the cold treatment but that only leads to me acquiring a black eye. Her looks were beautiful to say the least, even after the fall of their house she still can maintain her appearance, she has chestnut brown hair equipped with drills on both sides. Her eyes were as ruby red and her skin is smooth and white. She''s about 5''4 I think? "Nii-nii! Breakfast is ready! Also if you dont open the door for Arian-nee she will beat you up again" That''s my little sister Maji. She works as a cook in a growing restaurant named "Ymir''s Hunt" and she earns 15% in a day more than I could in aweek of working at the fishery. *sigh* She''s also pretty famous with the men around here but she usually uses my uselessness as an excuse like "Sorry, but I don''t think my Onii-chan can survive more than a day without me.". My sister and I share the same red eyes and silver hair that we got from our father''s DNA.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. I lazily got up and went to the restroom at the back of the room. After doing washing my face and cleaning my teeth I went downstairs to open the door only to be kicked at the guts. I think her personality did a 240 rather than a 180. "Sheesh why do you always make your cute childhood friend wait everymorning." she said while poking my cheeks with her pointing finger. All right I have a lot to say about you but first of all, in what world are you considered cute?!That world must be filled with people with nuts for brains. Secondly who the heck is my childhood friend?! I only got to know of your annoying existence after your house''s fall dammit. Ofcourse these thoughts are not something that I would blurt outloud infront of Ojou-rilla here or I would be knocked out for the next three days again. I kept as quite as possible while eating my little sister''s homemade omelet. We bid my sister farewell as we went outside to talk about what she really came to our house for. "Listenlisten listen! The Lightsword academy in Faithmold is accepting commoner enrollees! We can finally have a chance to get our old life back!" "-besides you dont want your sister to be shouldering your a** forever right?" she added. ...I can''t really deny that. My sister isworking hard for our financial state and mybrotherly sidecan''t help but want to do something that would atleast make me help her. "Fine I''ll try toget the scolarship."(Meshire) "NO! Don''t say that you''ll just try, say that you WILL GET THE SCHOLARSHIP!"(Arian) "Don''t expect too much from me. You know it right? A bloodmage like me is inneficient in combat without me running out of blood myself."(Meshire) "...bound by blood."(Arian) "Yep...bound by blood."(Meshire) ""..."" There was an awkward silence for a minute until she says. "If only you''re an immortal, maybe you could use your ability freely and without much downsides!"(Arian) "No way in hell would I want to be a filthy ghoul or vampire!Stop spouting non-sense please!"(Meshire) Seriously though please don''t tell me strange ideas. "But you did consider it for a second there didnt you!?"(Arian) "..."(Meshire) "pfffttuahahahahaha!"(Arian) "pfft...fft........."(Meshire) We laughed like mad for a straight 3 minutes before going to the Sariel''s Town Hall to register for the scholarship.
3 days later atLightsword academy''s principal office "A bloodmage and a soundmage...hmmmm." said an oldman with a wizard like look as he scans the commoner applicants while massaging the ends of his beard. "Wait...isn''t that-"A shadow with a scruffy voice said. "So you noticed it too huh?"(Oldman) "Gorak''s key is that girl huh."(Oldman) "Troublesome...let''s accept her immediately. If that lizard knew of this the-"( "Indeed but what of the bloodmage? He is also something that he could use for his plan." "Tsk...dammit accept him as well! We can''t let such a dangerous magic be used by that scaly bastard." "..."
A few days later.... There wasn''t evenafricking test! The letter said that we are to be going to Lightsword academy immediately! The hell is this? Is the "Most strict and competitive school in the country" just a lie?! "You''re so ungrateful! Why won''t you just be happy that we passed?"(Arian) "I-it just feels weird. Why would they pass a bloodmage like me and a deafmage like you!"(Meshire) "It''s soundmage Bakashire!" Those arethe last words I would hearbefore I gethit my a punch in the face knocking me out....
