Ascension of the Monster Queen

"It\'s fine, consider it a payment, if not a thank you gift but please I don\'t want you guys to refuse it," He responded and Nessa lowered her head.

"Would you like to say something?" The king asked.

"Thank you; I accept it; it will benefit my people as well; I just have a feeling that something really bad is going to happen; I despise that feeling." The king sighed after she responded.

"This is too much stress for a young lady, but you are tough, we understand that you have to get back, which is why we won\'t keep you any longer," He said as he stood up as did they and she exhaled deeply.

"Nessa, if you ever need help with anything, contact us, we have spearmen," Leon said, and she smiled.

"That\'s good to know, thank you," She replied as she bowed her head and they did the same in respect.

"Same here, Nessa, take this, it is where I live," Mazen said as they raised up and he placed a card in her hand and she placed it in her pocket.

"I will go now, bye," She said.

"Bye, take care," They replied, then she and Mazen left the castle, heading to the harbor.

They arrived at the harbor after a while, and Mazen looked at Nessa.

"I will see you again, relax," She said and he smiled.

"That\'s good to hear, visit my home, you might gain something, I look forward to seeing you," He replied as she stared at him before getting onto the ship where she saw the castle guards getting off, then she gasped when she saw a huge bag of gifts on the ship that everyone was staring at.

The guards said, "Lady Nessa, bye and take care." .

"Bye, thank you," She replied, and they smiled as the ship began to move.

"Nessa, I\'ll see you there, hopefully soon," Mazen said as he boarded another ship.

"I said nothing, stop jumping to conclusions," She shouted, and he scoffed.

"You will come, take care," He said, and she chuckled before waving back, and he grinned.

\'Damn it, he, the king, and his family are the types who don\'t give up easily,\' Nessa thought as she examined the bag, curious about what was inside after seeing it standing like a hill.

"Can my storage capacity accommodate everything?" Nessa inquired.

[Yes, master, but only up to that point.]

"I see, then here we go, let\'s see how much I can do," She said, her eyes glowing blue and raising her right hand.

"Accumulate," She said as a purple glow with markings appeared beneath the pile of gifts which started sinking into the markings and disappearing.

[Master, there is still space if you need to store anything else, and I wanted to let you know that you need to contain the energy within your body again, it\'s starting to show, and people will be afraid of you.]

"I see, thank you," She replied.

"You are most welcome." As Nessa closed her eyes, the system responded, and the energy around her body began to fade as she relaxed and focused on it.

[Task completed; you now appear to be a normal, helpless human girl.]

"Damn, you didn\'t have to say it that way," She remarked.

[I didn\'t mean it negatively, but I have good news, because of my connection to you, I can tell you that your town is evolving at a rapid pace, and I can sense things growing within the town.]

Nessa smiled as she looked down at her reflection in the water after hearing the system say that.

"Do you believe something bad will happen back there?" Nessa inquired.

[Master, take a look at this; it\'s yours; I got the last image from your mind before you left; this is how it last looked; I\'m not sure how your home is now, but you need a reminder as to how much those creatures loves you.]

A screen appeared in front of Nessa\'s eyes, showing her the people in her city and how they waved at her with nothing but smiles on their faces when she first left them, and she sighed before the screen vanished.

"Thank you," She said.

"You are also welcome, master; once word gets out that the nation they have all been hearing about is actually real, you may face additional difficulties," The system replied and she smirked.

"That\'s fine with me; let them come; I\'ll confront them if necessary; I\'m not going to let anyone take anything from me," She said.

"What if it\'s an enemy you won\'t be able to face?" Nessa sighed after the system asked.

"I guess we\'ll think about that when we get there; for now, let\'s just focus on what\'s important, which is getting me stronger; you said I have a lot more different abilities; can I combine two of them to create one powerfully enough?" She inquired.

"Yes, you can; you just need to practice more to unlock the powers you\'ve been given; you\'ve already unlocked many; you just need to use them, not that you have any reason right about now but I think soon you may," Miss Notice replied.

"I see, then I\'ll get stronger; I\'ve been having a really bad feeling lately, which I despise; I\'m going to become one of the strongest if necessary to protect those I care about; I know how messed up this world or any can get," She said.

[Someone is watching you, master.]

"You are right about that," A woman said as she approached Nessa and Nessa looked at her.

"About what?" Nessa inquired.

"This world being messed up," She responded and Nessa scoffed.

"That\'s only natural, you could say it\'s a way of life, some just really like to cause chaos," She said and the woman chuckled.

"You are quite upfront, but you can say that\'s true, it\'s life," She replied as she looked down at the water and Nessa glanced at her.
