《A world born from ashes (undefined hiatus)》


 Prologue

    "Kahli, are you sure that this is a good idea?".


    "Don''t worry Anhara, i''m sure that this is a good idea, I found a dungeon here, it''s dusty, but it seem that nobody had been here for many moons".


    A pair of kids was walking on a strange corridor, there they can see many strange furnitures.


    They where two beginers adventurer and where exploring a new place that they stumbled by accident.


    "I can smell the riches".


    "Kahli, you are drooling again".


    "I can''t help it, this place is like those made by the ancients".


    Over the world, there were many ruins made by the ancients, sometimes they had food, weapons, or even strange tecnology.


    "I still can''t belive it...".


    "What do you mean Anhara?".


    "This place is trully calm... there are only weak slimes...".


    "Yeah, I was expecting more things, but maybe that''s because this place was underground".


    "M-M-Maybe there is a demon here".


    "A demon? pffft... don''t say that, if a demon was here, there won''t be any village nearby".If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    "But why there aren''t any glowing guardian?!".


    "Maybe this was only a house?".


    "Watch out!".


    After Anhara''s shout, Kahli stepped back, a slime had fallen where he was, in his mind he thanked Anhara.


    Even if the slime is weak, a veteran could easily die if one manage to reach his head.


    Kahli poked it with his spear, and Anhara break their core, ending it''s life.


    "Uff, that was close, thanks... now, what we can find on door A?"


    When they open the first door, they found a common place, it''s like any bar, but the strange furniture make it stranger.


    "Hey! Anhara! I found some licor".


    "Drop it Kahli, you know that the good ones are in the warehouse, we need to find one if we want food from here".


    "Che... if this is the bar... maybe the warehouse is close".


    When he said that, he search for a new door.


    "Kahli! come here, I found a kitchen".


    "The kitchen?! we did it!!".


    "What was that?".


    "We found the kitchen, only a knife from here is a treasure for a cook, a divine kitchen with the sharpest edge that can cut any ingredient... and maybe we can find a warehouse, where we can find the finest food that even emperors won''t have the luck to taste".


    After looting the place, they found an strange door.


    "Hey, Anhara... do you think this is the warehouse?".


    "Maybe... I don''t think someone would put a warehouse far from the kitchen".


    After confirming this, Kahli tried to open the door, but with no avail, he even tried to use his spear as a lever, but it didn''t work.


    Meanwhile Anhara was studying the door, wondering how to open it, the moment she see an strange box on the wall, Kahli surrendered.


    When she touched the box, it gave an strange light and two rectangles appeared, when she touched one, the door suddenly opened.


    "Wha!!".


    After seeing how the door suddenly open, Kahli shouted and falls back.


    "Pfftt..".


    Anhara laughed at what happened to Kahli.


    After they passed through the door, they suddenly raised their weapons.


    ""A d-d-demon?!"".


    The two shouted when they saw a person standing there... a strange person, with strange round ears... without animal''s ears.

 Chapter 1

    (POV MC)


    "Un de-de-demonio?!"( A d-d-demon?!).


    "Who?".


    Damn, Rig and Jack again closed the door of the chrono-stop fridge... it''s better that they stop this prank, i''m trully angry now, it was my last day on this base.


    "Que hacemos Kahli, hay un demonio aqui, vamos a morir y condenar al reino" (what do we do Kahli, there is a demon here, we will die and the kingdom will disappear).


    "Hey! Rig, Jack! Stop this prank, you know that there can''t be any bystander on the base!".


    I call to them, but something is amiss here.


    Wait... cat ears? I didn''t know that those implants are good enough to use again, and... that''s leather? woah, they sure did a good job with this last prank, those kids seems like true adventurers... wait, true adventureres? o gosh... don''t tell me that they buy new automaton only for the prank?.


    "Espera Anhara, algo raro le pasa, parece... parece que est¨¢ pensando?" (Wait a sec Anhara, something strange is happening, it seems... it seems that it is thinking?).


    Okay?... something is trully strange here... those are metal swords?.


    "Hey! can you speak english?".


    "Tranquila... solo manten la guardia en alto, parece que no nos hara nada" (calm down... keep your guard up, it seems that that thing won''t do anything to us).


    What are they mumbling? I can''t recognize that language, it doesn''t seem part of the earth languages or any other common one... and... are they afraid? it''s better they are, they won''t be out from here without a serious punishment.


    "Parece que esta cosa esta hablando la lengua de los angeles" (it seems that this thing is speaking in the angel''s tongue).


    "La lengua de los angeles? como es que un demonio es tan inteligente para hablar ese idioma?" (the angel''s tongue? how is a demon is so smart to speak that language?).


    ''Aghh!! is so anoying that language! better to ask Sara what is that language, she will translate it'' after coming with a solution, I hurried and use my whriswatch.


    "Sara! analyse that language and translate it".


    "What? Who? Where?".


    After talking to the IA of my watch, a little thing was out and talked sleepishly.


    "Oh! hi John, what do you want?".


    I jumped backwards afraid of that thing, but after seeing me like that, that thing suddenly asked what happened and why I''m scared.


    "S-Sara?".


    "Yes?".If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    "Are you my IA model S4R1-F?".


    "Yes, that''s me".


    "Why are you... why are you like that?".


    "like what?".


    "Wahh!!! es una hada Kahli!! un demonio con una hada!!" (Wahh!! it''s a fairy Kahli!! a demon with a fairy!!).


    "Nevermind, we will talk later... first I want to know if you recognize this language".


    "I will try".


    After that, Sara closed her eyes and it seems that it was pushing out something.


    "Sorry, that language isn''t on my database... it seems strange... and isn''t like anything that I know".


    "Can''t you try to translate it? they are afraid, if I step forward they will start to tremble and raise their ancient looking weapons".


    "Mhhh.... maybe... maybe that will work... let me do something... excuse me little girl".


    "Que? peque?a hada, que estas hacien-" (What? little fairy, what are you doi-).


    Suddenly, after Sara apologized to that little girl, she suddenly enter her chest and that little girl soon collapsed.


    "Anhara!! que le has hecho a Anhara!!" (Anhara!! what have you done to Anhara!!).


    Suddenly the little girl opens her eyes, but her face remains expressionless, whatever happened to Sara, maybe she have more surprises.


    Soon, the strangest thing start to happen, suddenly, I started to understand what that kid was saying.


    "Anhara!! please wake up!! don''t leave me alone".


    "Wait, I can understand".


    "Wah!! quick! tell me!! tell me what that fairy did to Anhara".


    "Wait!! even if you ask me, I don''t know".


    "I''m finished".


    After that rash act, we could hear Sara voice coming from the mouth of the little g- no, from Anhara.


    "Nhh~ good morning~".


    "Anhara!! you''re okay".


    "Oh, Kahli, i had a strange dream, we were exploring an strange dungeon and we found there a demon with a fairy".


    "Anhara... that wasn''t a dream... we encountered that demon with the fairy... and they are with us here".


    "Calling someone a demons is really rude, you know?".


    "Aren''t you one?".


    "Well, I will be a demon for you if you kids don''t tell me what you were doing here, this isn''t an area for kids like you".


    "This was your house? we didn''t know".


    "Yeah! we found it while we were on a mining mission".


    "A mining mission? what do you mean... who is the fool to send two kids to mine something? for that there are automatons".


    ""Autto matones?"".


    Suddenly, when they heard a word that they didn''t know, the two kids ask dumbfoundedly.


    "Emm... John? maybe you want to know this... I''d made an scan on you and found something strange... you aren''t a human anymore".


    "What!!!!".

 Chapter 2

    "What do you mean I''m not a human anymore!? is this a joke?... no, maybe i''m dreaming... HAHA!! maybe it was because tomorrow i''ll be out of this base!" (John).


    Soon, John closed his eyes and tried to think hard while mumbling ''I want to wake up'', but soon, reality hit him.


    "John, this isn''t a dream... this is real... soon after realizing i''m sentient, i began to analyse us, and i found an strange energy, that have change us... you''r DNA isn''t human anymore... it''s strange and unknown... and you have a strange organ that stores this strange energy... and i got some special traits thanks to this" (Sara).


    After hearing that, he started to search if he have something else, that includes his head.


    "No john, you don''t have animal''s ears, your appareance is the same as before we were trapped" (Sara).


    "Emm... excuse me, I didn''t mean to interrump your conversation, but... what is a human?" (Anhara).


    "Hey... umm.... what if we talk while we go outside, we can''t sit here" (John).


    "Isn''t like we can sit outside" (Kahli).


    When John goes outside, he realized that the base isn''t the same that he knew, it was devoid of life and the place seems on ruins, he wonders why he was still alive, and remember that he needs to see the energy generator of the warehouse, luckily it''s close to the door.


    "It''s almos depleted, it''s better to deactivate it... I don''t want to let this here, if this thing have some error, and explodes... again we will see another planet with stopped time" (John).


    "John, do you know what this mean?" (Sara).


    "What does this mean?" (John).


    "This thing was make to live for an unknown amount of time, and can resist more strenght that everyone can think, if this generator is in this state, it means..." (Sara).


    "It means that we have lived over a thousand of years inside of that warehouse" (John).


    "I think we have lived more than that" (Sara).


    "What do you... wait... how many times have i said the same now?" (John).


    "With this, three times... but if you want an answer, see them" (Sara).


    After seeing those two kids, he soon realized, they aren''t some kind of automaton, they are the possible new race that lives on this planet, they didn''t know what are a human, so he realized that what have happened while he was pranked, have attacked everything... maybe the energy had done something to the others, after thinking of the changes he and Sara have suffered, maybe they are the descendant of the pets that the humans have taken to this planet.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site.

    "So, you have realized... this isn''t the civilization that we know... maybe they have the same morals that the humans of the past" (Sara).


    "How are you sure? Maybe they have the custom to eat their husband if they cheat" (John).


    "Eww! that''s gross" (Anhara).


    "Luckily we don''t have that custom" (Kahli).


    After saying that, Anhara an Kahli have different reactions, one with disgust and the other with a relief.


    "Hey, little girl, do you remember what have you called before?" (Sara).


    "I''m not a little girl, my name is Anhara and I''m over 18 springs, and yeah, I remember, you''re a fairy" (Anhara).


    "A fairy... that means... that there are more than one race... and mabye there are more IA''s that have evolved like me" (Sara).


    "Stop the talk between you two, i also want to know what is a human and why you where there" (Kahli).


    "First we need to find a place to stay... this place isn''t good to talk" (John).


    Soon, they started to walk outside of the ruins of what was previously a militar base.


    <hr>


    When they reached the exit of the militar base, John found that they where inside a cave, soon they walked outside of that cave and found that they where on a mountain, they walked a while on a forest, and found a camping site.


    "So, you where camping here?" (John).


    "Yeah, don''t worry, it''s safe here, the camping ward won''t let any monster disrupt here, so you can tell all the things that you know" (Kahli).


    After they arrived at the camping site outside of a cave in a mountain, Anhara and Kahli urged John to quickly tell them all the thing they have asked while they were walking outside.


    "Where do I start... Ah! you were curious of what is a human? it''s easy, they are... they were a race so strong that they managed to get control of all the stars that you can see on the sky and nobody have the strength to stop them... until some accident have happened" (John).


    "An accident? what accident?" (Kahli).


    "That''s... I don''t know... I was trapped on the warehouse when that happened, and I don''t know what happened to all of them... I don''t even know if there are others like me" (John).


    "And why you were trapped there?" (Kahli).


    "It was a prank... there were others working in that base and two of them, were know for their pranks on their spare time... it wasn''t the first time i was trapped, but the last one was when that accident have happened" (John).


    "It''s strange..." (Anhara).


    While John was talking and Kahli asking questions, Anhara was in deep thoughts, it''s like something she found was amiss.


    "What do you mean with ''it''s strange''?" (John).


    "All what you have talked is like the story of the origin of the ancients... they were a mythical race that was had godly powers, they were gods... they created this planet and populated it... but they dissappeared before our ancestors were born" (Anhara).


    "Yeah... those were the humans... but they didn''t created this planet, they only adapted it to be able to bear life withouth problems" (John).


    "But you said you were a human, but the ancients were gods, they radiates a godly light, and everytime the step, all the place was filled with life!" (Anhara).


    "Hey... Anhara... the ancients... they have a religion?" (Sara).


    "Yeah!! That is the main religion of this continent, the Ancient''s Church" (Anhara).


    "Maybe... it''s not good to say that i''m a human or an ancient" (John).l


    After a long talk about religion, the two natives started to feel sleepy, Anhara and Kahli enter their respectives tents, and John, with a piece of leather, he sleeps on the night sky.
