Epic of Caterpillar

39 Memories of a Young Girl: My Hero

Three ugly bald goblin mages were pursuing her, although she ran with all her speed, the goblins were slowly catching up with her.

"Don\'t run, you blueberry! Give that book, you whore!"

"Running is useless! We will fucking kill you, bitch!"

"I\'m going to enjoy your slutty body!"

The girl ran as fast as she could, but her Stamina was already at her limit, making her whole body suffer immense fatigue.

"Haaahh… N-No!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, the girl felt a strong shock through her whole body, paralyzing her right on the spot!

"Guaaahhkkh!"

The girl fell down to the floor and the goblins finally catch up to her.

"Well done brother, that was a nice paralyzing shock! You are very talented! Gyhihihi!"

"Hehehe! Of course! I am the strongest mage! Now…"

"Gyhihihi… Blueberry, we finally catch up to you! We will not forgive you for insulting our big brother pride!"

"You fucking whore! Take this!"

The girl could not move at all, being completely paralyzed, she could not even defend from the strong hits given by these goblins.

TUMP!

"Ghhhh Aaaahh!"

A goblin laughed at the girl suffering.

"Gyohoho! You like that?! You bitch!"

TUMP!

"Aaaaahh! Nn…"

"Heres one for big brother! Fucking whore!"

TUMP!

"Ghhhhaaa!"

The third kick on her delicate belly made the girl puke a big amount of blood.

，

"Hmmph! Already bleeding? What a delicate bitch you are!"

TUMP!

"Ghhhhh!"

"Why such a weakling like you is the favorite student of our teacher? You can barely cast a spell!"

TUMP!

"Aaaghh! Ssstoop… Nnnh…"

"Oh? Begging for mercy? Not so fast! Take her book!"

"Gyohoho! Yes brother!"

The two small goblin mages grabbed the girl favorite book, although she wrapped it tightly around her small arms, the goblins were stronger and forced her paralyzed arms to move.

"Aagh! Nnoo… Nnn… Nnnn…! Oooh! Noohh!"

"Shut the fuck up! Shut up!"

The biggest goblin mage raised its feet and crushed the girl head to the floor, breaking the girl nose, spilling countless amounts of blood.

TUMP!

"Gueeehhh! Hiiiiiiiiiiihhh… Snif snif…"

"Crying already? What a baby! Now! Brothers!"

"Yes! Fire ball!"

"Fire ball!"

Fluosh!

The two smallest goblin mages casted two tiny fire balls on the book, engulfing it in fire.

The small girl could do nothing more than look with her bloody eyes as her precious Shadow Magic book burned to a crisp.

"Gyohoho! That\'s what you get! How does it feel to see your precious book burned to a crisp? Huh? GYOHOHOHOHO!"

"Nnnhh… Snif snif…"

Because she couldn\'t move at all, she resigned herself to crying over the blood covered floor. Mixing her tears with her blood, being barely able to breathe through her mouth.

"Haahh… Snif…"

"HEHEHE! Now that we got that done, lets enjoy her weak body!"

"Yes, big brother!"

"Delicious troll girl body!"

"She is all bloody and weak, but she still got some curves! And those breasts! GYOHOHOH!"

The biggest goblin mage started to take out the ragged clothes of the paralyzed girl. And grabbed her breast, while licking them with his long and slimy tongue.

Slurp

"Hmmm! Gyohohoho! Blueberry you are not half bad! GYOHOHO!"

The girl could do nothing about this, as she saw with immense fear how the goblins touched her naked body to their hearts content.

The two small goblins started to touch her genitalia and legs, using their fingers and tongue.

"Hhnnh! Shtop! Shtop! Noooh Ghhh!"

The cries from the weak girl made the goblins get even more excited, touching her even more intensively.

"Gehehe! Yes! Scream! I love when the girls scream!"

"Hmmm! Gyohohoho! I am already at my limit! I\'m going to put it in!"

"Go ahead big brother! You can do it first!"

"I\'m so jealous! Break her! Gyohohoho!"

The girl looked as the big goblin took out his gross green colored genitalia.

"Nnnooo! Please! Don\'t! No! Hhnnnhh! Nooo!"

"Gehehehe! Here I g-"

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, a strong and deadly presence covered the entire room! Making the Goblins almost piss themselves in fear!

"W-What is that?!"

"The teacher! H-He\'s here! Run!"

"Run!"

Before the goblins could even run, a powerful and demanding voice resouned inside their hearts!

"Where are you going?"

"Uuugghh!"

"S-Shit!"

"T-Teacher! We can explain this…"

An intimidating looking skeleton appeared out of thin air, wearing black colored robes and an old staff.

"I will hear your explanation"

The biggest goblin kneels down in fear, trembling.

"Y-You see… That blueberry did not accept me! I wanted to make her my wife, but she refused! She offended my honor as a goblin! This was only an obvious thing to do…"

The skeleton looked over the big goblin with his deep red eyes.

"Your explanation is not convincing enough; do you have proof of what you have said?"

"P-Proof?! Of course! These two goblins saw what she did!"

The two goblins kneel while nodding.

"Yes! We saw her offending our big brother!"

"Yes, yes! She did!"

The skeleton moved closer to the paralyzed and bloody girl, who was completely naked over the floor.

"Mid Heal"

Fluosh

The girl suddenly felt as a warm light covered her entire body, slowly regenerating her broken nose and curing her paralysis.

"Indeed, you do have witnesses"

The goblins saw a bit of hope in this.

"However."

"Eh?"

"There are no explicit norms saying that you can not attack or sexually assault another student, but there is a golden rule in this tower"

"S-Shit!"

"Rule Number 2: The usage of any type of magic, be it offensive or defensive, if it\'s not made by a teacher himself, will be punished with a month of imprisonment on the tower dungeon"

"B-But teacher that\'s an old rule! No one follows it!"

"No one? You can not follow it when I am not watching, but if I catch you doing it, while having clear proof of it in front of me, you will have to amend to your actions"

The goblins begged for mercy, fearing the tower dungeon over anything else.

"W-Wait! T-Teacher! Please!"

Why do they fear the tower dungeon? The tower dungeon is a mysterious and dangerous place filled with deadly and demonic monsters, the imprisonment is no more than a facade, as its petty much death sentence.

"Begone! I shall return for you after a month has passed, if you are still alive that\'s it. Shadow Warp!"

Suddenly, a big magic circle appeared below the three trembling goblins, warping them instantly.

Fluosh!

When the three goblins were warped out, the troll girl looked over her savior.

"T-Teacher…"

"Stand up!"

"Y-Yes…!"

When the girl stood up, she noticed the burned book on her left side.

"M-My book… Snif snif… Ooohh… No… Snif…"

The girl grabbed the burned book pages with grievance, as if loosing something very precious to her.

The skeleton looked at the girl with indifference.

"Zehe, stand up!"

"A-Aah! B-But!"

"Here"

The skeleton opened its Item Box and took another copy of the same book that was burned.

"E-Eeh? B-But teacher…"

"What is a book? It\'s a mere pile of pages, it does have no value to me. But its necessary for your studies, take it"

"T-Teacher… Y-Yes… Thank you…"

"No need to thank me, accompany me to the classroom, from now on, you shall accompany me everyday"

For some people, such an intimidating Lich would only look like a horrible and creepy monster, but for the girl, he seemed like a shining hero, saving her from this horrible life.

"Yes!"

| DAY 32 |

I woke up early on the morning, being greeted by Zehe at my side, she was moving her head while sleeping, and sometimes talking, as if she was having a very vivid dream.

I tried to wake her up.

"Zehe? Zehe? Are you okay?"

Zehe slowly opened her golden eyes and looked at me.

"Eeh? Aah… Honey…"

"Zehe, were you having a nightmare?"

"A-Ah… I… I don\'t remember anymore…"

"Really? Okay… If its your choice, I won\'t force you to talk. But if you ever need help, or to tell me something important, I want you to know that I will be always at your side"

"H-Honey… Thanks, I will have that on mind"

"Good to know"

Mooch

I give Zehe a warm kiss on her blue forehead, and she blushed over this.

"By the way, Honey, you have evolved! Your appearance seems more maturated, and you have golden markings on your body now… There are also some yellow pigments at the end of your hair… Oh, and your breast became a tad bigger, fufufu"

"E-Eeeeh? Why do you notice such things…? But yeah, I evolved recently, I should check my Status Window, Status!"

| SOUL FATIGUE: 100/100 |

| SOUL DENSITY: 100 |

| SOUL STRENGTH: 100 |

| SOUL SIZE: NORMAL |

| SOUL MUTATION RATIO: 0.1% |

"Probably everyone just has 100 in every Stat… Let\'s try it out immediately, time to eat these orbs"

Zehe noticed how I opened my Item Box and took some strange looking glass orbs, they contained strange colors inside of them, resembling a wailing gas.

I wanted to firs try on the Troll Emperor Soul orb, it was green colored with small dark sparkles inside.

I choose to absorb it first with my Dissolving Juices, but this did not work.

"How do I consume this? Eh?"

| CONSUME TROLL EMPEROR SOUL CRYSTAL BALL? |

| >YES NO |

"Just like a game… Hahaha… Yes"

| YOUR SOUL MUTATION RATIO HAVE INCREASE BY 10% |

Just after consuming the Troll Emperor soul, I was able to have a small glimpse of his life, from when he was born to how he trained and became strong, obtaining its Emperor title.

His soul tasted rather bitter, with a spicy after taste. After consuming his soul, my own self became revitalized, I felt as if I became younger. And something inside me seemed to grow in size, giving me a strange feeling.

"Aah… So, this is how a soul become stronger… it feels so weird, as if I had a another being inside of my body"

Zehe looked as I consumed the rest of the Soul Crystal Balls.

Ding!

| YOU HAVE CONSUMED A MYRIAD OF SOULS |

| YOU GAINED +70 MAX SOUL FATIGUE |

| YOU GAINED +75 MAX SOUL DENSITY |

| YOU GAINED +80 MAX SOUL STRENGTH |

"Haaahh… I feel so refreshed! This feeling is incredible!"

"Honey… Is this the Soul System? Impressive!"

"It is! It\'s a pity that you girls don\'t have this System yet… I wonder if there is a way to make your souls stronger without having unlocked the System"

I tried to use my soul skills, until I found something interesting.

"| SHARE SOUL |?"

| ANCIENT SOUL MAGIC: SHARE SOUL: Grants the power to share a piece of your soul with someone else. This piece of soul will be instantly consumed by that person, making its soul stronger. This will unlock the Soul System to anyone that does not have it. |

"It\'s perfect!"

"B-But Kireina, you don\'t have to weaken your soul for us…"

"Nonsense, you becoming stronger is a relief to me, the stronger you are, the safer you are. I just want all of you to always be as strong as me, sharing my soul is nothing"

"Honey… Okay…"

"I will do it with Rimuru and Nesiphae while they are sleeping too… Activate skill: Soul Share!"

Fluosh!

Suddenly, my soul let go of three small chunks, which flew towards Zehe, Rimuru and Nesiphae.

| YOU HAVE LOST 60 POINTS IN EACH SOUL STAT; SOUL MUTATION RATIO IS NOT AFFECTED |

Rimuru and Nesiphae were sleeping so they did not feel it. However, Zehe was surprised.

"Ah! H-Honey! It hurts! Aaah!"

"Zehe! Hang in there, you must resist the merge!"

"Aaaggh! Uuhnn… Ah… I think it\'s over"

"See? It wasn\'t that bad"

In front of Zehe, a System window popped out of thin air.

Ding!

| YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE SOUL SYSTEM |

"Oh! I got it! The Soul System!"

I took the last Soul Crystal I had and gave it to Zehe as a present.

"But what about Rimuru and Nesiphae?"

"Take it as a present, you are my first wife after all, I hope that this keeps as a secret"

Zehe looked at me with lovely eyes and give me a quick kiss on my lips.

Mooch

"Ah! I didn\'t expect that surprise kiss…"

"Hehehe… Thanks…"

I showed Zehe how to consume the Soul Crystal Ball and so she did, she obtained around 15 points in each stat.

"Haaahh… I feel refreshed…"

"Well done"

| KIREINA |

| SOUL RANK: 1 |

| SOUL ENERGY: 150/150 |

| SOUL FATIGUE: 130/130 |

| SOUL DENSITY: 135 |

| SOUL STRENGTH: 140 |

| SOUL SIZE: NORMAL |

| SOUL MUTATION RATIO: 35% |

"That\'s a nice increase nonetheless"

We decided to wake Rimuru an Nesiphae up, they seem to not have felt any pain while sleeping, so its probably something that happens while you are awake. I will also unlock the Soul System in my other servants, but I need to increase my soul stats first, to not go below 100 at the very least.

"Aaah! Mastaaa evolved! Such a nice body! Can I lick it?"

"Oooh Master, your body has maturated quite well… Hmm~"

"Aagh! P-Please let\'s not do lewd things for now…"

"Fine… Hehehe… Oh? What is this? Soul… System?"

"Guuu? I also see a Soul System!"

"It\'s a small gift, I unlocked this after evolution, so I shared my soul with you three, making you unlock this System"

"Impressive, Master! Thanks!"

Nesiphae gave me a big kiss with her lips over my cheeks.

"Guuuu! This is awesome! I couldn\'t expect less from Mastaa! Guuu!"

Rimuru hugged me tightly, and kissed my cheeks too.

While Nesiphae and Rimuru assaulted me with their love, the same Mershark Maid from yesterday entered the room.

"Lady Kireina… Eh?! E-Excuse me! I\'m very sorry for entering without permission!"

"N-No wait!"

.

.

.

After resolving the misunderstanding with the Mershark Maid, she guided us to a separate room with a table full of delicious food, for a nice breakfast.

We were greeted by Caspian and Belle, who were enjoying a delicious breakfast made of fruits and cream.

"Are those fruits and cream?! But those fruits are different, they are so transparent and shiny! They look like the fruit gummy from Earth!"

Belle noticed my interest and offered me some.

"Oh! Lady Kireina, do you like this? It called Sweet Gum Fruit, it\'s a special fruit that we create using honey and normal fruits, we peel them and then dip in this honey for days, until they become this jelly-like delicacy! This cream is made with the milk of the Spotted Whale Sharks"

"Ooohoho! (So this is the cuisine from another world! Amazing!)"

"Hehehe, you can have some too, there is a big bowl with them and a separate one for the cream"

"I see! Thanks, monch monch"

I immediately started to eat it right on the spot!

Caspian laughed.

"Hohoho! I like her honesty!"

"Y-Yeah, I guess that\'s how Lady Kireina really is, however, I would love to teach her some basic etiquette, it would be lovely! She is a rough diamond waiting for someone to polish her!"

Caspian laughed again.

"Hohoho, I don\'t think she would easily let you, Belle! Ooh, look! Her friends are also joining!"

This delicious gummy-like fruit accompanied with the milky and soft cream was something else! Even more delicious than any sweet I\'ve tasted on Earth! My servants quickly joined and started eating right from the bowl, even Wagyu and Kekensha! Making a big mess.

After eating all the fruit and cream, we calmed ourselves and decided to eat more politely.

This time there were a delicious kind of bread made with some kind of seed that came from the central continents, brough by the Merman Old Ancestor.

This bread had a lot of variants, sizes and fillings, some had a delicious salty seaweed inside, others had a crunchy texture while others had meat or sweet cream fillings!

"Munch, munch. (These ones taste like the Japanese filled bread that I once tasted on my trip to Japan on Earth) Impressive!"

There was also loads of seafood, from delicious and sweet sea urchin to grilled fish and clams.

To accompany all this food, there was a big variety of sweet beverages made of seaweed and fruits, and even flavored Spotted Whale Shark milk.

Seeing this as an opportunity, I also wanted to share the food that my people have made, taking it out of my Item Box and warming it with fire magic.

Caspian and Belle were interested in these dishes, and looked with excitement.

"Ohoho? Is this the food of your Kingdom, Kireina?"

"It looks quite delicious!"

"Yes, here"

I give Caspian and Belle a big plate with different preparations, most were meat based, but there were also veggies and our special rice. This included the All Meat Cheese Burger, the Rabbit Milkshake, Gale Bird Karage with Spicy Sauce, Fried Walking River Fish meatballs, Pickled Forest Veggies and our Boiled Forest Grains.

Caspian seemed to love the All Meat Cheese Burger, saying that he has never tasted such a delicious combination between cheese and meat, and that the bun was nice and fluffy, while the sauces combined very well with the countless flavors on the burger.

Belle loved the Rabbit Milkshake and the Gale Bird Karage which she accompanied with the Boiled Forest Grains and Pickled Forest Veggies. She loved these types of veggies that she could barely taste in the past. Because mermen barely go outside their city, they are quite limited with the variety in food, so these new preparations opened their eyes.

Afterwards, I decided to exchange recipes with Caspian, while also setting a new Trading Contract, that would let us both exchange food easily through the System, this is a power that only his Merman Merchant class has!

Ding!

| YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CREATED A TRADING CONTRACT WITH MERMEN KING CASPIAN |
