The Rise Of Calamity

***

The next morning

I slowly opened my eyes and got out of my mediating position by jumping up from the mattress and appearing a few meters away like a flicker of light.

'I'm not fast enough' I narrowed my eyes slightly but waved my annoyance off with an exhausted sigh.

[We've been here too long...] Hela also sighed with her robotic voice.

*"How about we massacre everyone tonight for the hell of it."*

*"Imagine how much pleasure you would feel... Better than any kind of sex you would ever feel."*

*"Pleasure is overrated! Imagine how much money you could get!"*

"Don't I have like a million gold coins now that I had robbed the wyvern's treasury. Why the fuck do I need money" I explained out loud

[Who are you talking to?]

"Who are you talking to?" Another groggy voice rang out throughout the room, making me look in its direction before saying "Nobody. How was your night?" with a wry smile.

"Crappy!" She sighed before carrying on "First I woke up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep, looked around just to see you were gone, started to feel a crap ton of anxiety, went to the toilet a bunch of times, went back to b-"

Before she could finish, I quickly gestured to her to stop because I felt like she had gone on for hours.

After going silent, she finally took a deep breath in before getting up and asking "So, where were you last night? I was kind of scared" She blushed in embarrassment.

"Scared?" I raised a brow

"I don't know why, but every since I had gotten stuck in that cell with all those men from the lighting dragon guild, I started to have problems sleeping. When I saw you weren;t there last night, I kind of panicked and also couldn't sleep" She looked away with a flushed face while a look of guilt flashed in my eyes.

"Alright don't worry. I won't leave your side whenever you go to sleep. And even if I have to, I'll make sure that Rose is at least there, okay?" I walked up to Olivia and began to caress her head before sitting down on the bed.

After caressing her head for more than a minute, I move my hands down slightly before beginning to caress her face, cupping them in between my palms, before going even further down to her and finally her neck.

I could feel that her breathing had become heavy and yet I did not care.

As if in a trance, I took in the feeling of moving my hand down the smooth and elegant pale skin of her neck while moving away from the trends of black hair that were in the way of my hand's movement.

*"Yes... Make her yours"* a whisper entered my right ear.

"Grab her by the throat and strangle her until she can't breath"* another whisper suggested

Ignoring the second whisper, I moved forwards and opened my mouth slightly while moving towards her neck.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

The scene was immediately ruined while the atmosphere had turned awkward.

Olivia knew exactly what I was about to do, but unlike her past self who would have tried stopping me, her current self felt a small sense of anticipation for what was about to come next

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* *Knock* The knocking carried on

"Coming" I sighed, slightly annoyed that my chance to lose my virginity to someone as hot and loving as Olivia had been thrown down the drain for the meantime. The thought of her maybe having taken advantage of her did not even cross my mind even though I knew well how much Olivia and Yuri had suffered through, making them a lot more open to new ideas while also being more susceptible to being manipulated into doing something another party as close to them as myself would ask for.

Opening the door, I was greeted with the sight of both Yuri and Rose standing at my door alongside June, River, and River's boyfriend, Xolder all looking at me weirdly.

"Do you always wear that mask?" River could not help but question.

In reality, I had already felt their presence before they had Olivia had even told me of her fear of going to sleep, however, since June was living in the same hotel as me, I chose to ignore it. Only after they had met up with Rose and Yuri did I finally start praying for them to take a different route than the one towards me.

It was only after I was closing in to bite Olivia's neck did I finally lose hope, mainly due to seeing them all walk in the same direction which just happened to be the direction of my room.

"What do you want?" I ignored River's question.

"You are going to go back tomorrow so we might as well make the best of today. Right girls!" Xolder trusted his fist up in the air, yet he was just meat with the threatening death glared from everyone other than me, who simply did not care, and Rose who also seemed to think all of this was above her.

"I have training" I tried to close the door but Rose's handheld it in place.

"Just come" She smiled wryly, something that made everyone else freeze before looking at her as if they had just seen a ghost.

"Ugh... Do I really have to come" I grumbled

"Yes" Xolder crossed his arm, but instead of being glared at, this time he received a punch to the back of his head.

I watched him rub his head while crouching on the ground but instead of saying something, I chose to stay silent.

'I have beef with so many of them. Yuri because I killed her teammates.' Even if I fight her again, I won't be able to use eyes of vanity without having her state of mind completely unbalanced again, something that was very unlikely to work more than once.

'June cuz' I... I don't remember why I don't like June but I will still choose to hate her... Wow. I am becoming more like a woman by the day. Anyway, River... I don't know why rover dislikes me. Did I kill her husband or something?' I could not help but raise a brow. From a single glance, I had identified that more than half of those who have knocked on my door hated me, and 2 out of 3 of them didn't even have a good reason to.

[You beat Yuri up when you came back from beating up the wyvern]

'Oh, crap.... I did do that' I hammered my fist onto the center of my palm.
