The Rise Of Calamity

Back in Lagua city, I lay in my apartment bed alongside Olivia, completely oblivious to the number of people who were searching for meant this very moment.

While of course, my father had been searching for me for quite a while, there had been other unknown forces that we were searching for either someone like me with similar characteristics and traits or someone in the human race who was willing to throw the entire race under the bus for their benefit.

After laying there for almost a day, doing nothing but waiting for the next day to come, I could not help but contemplate countless things, however, a lot of them revolved around Rose for a reason I did not yet understand.

Who would have known that not addressing those thoughts and feelings would have become my biggest regret in the future, just like the people who were searching for me, I was oblivious of it just like everyone else.

The only thing I could do was move forward and hope that there would be no regrets throughout my life, yet nothing was certain.

After the sun had finally risen from the horizon giving off an orange hue, I felt a rustle from my right side, causing me to look and see that Olivia was waking up from her prolonged slumber.

"You sleep like a cat," I remarked with a chuckle, yet to my surprise she simply looked up, closed her eyes, and snuggled closer to my chest leaving me dumbfounded once again.

"I have a mission today. Can you get off me?" I asked with a twitching brow.

"No~... I need sleep" she purred before holding me closer and together than before as if the moment she let go could be the moment I would leave.

"Ugh" with a sign I continued to struggle out of her grasp for the next 30 minutes until I was finally able to get out of it when she lost all her drowsiness after hearing me move so much.

Quickly making breakfast, I sat down, spoke, and am with Olivia before finally deciding to leave.

Today was going to be the first time in the last 6 months that I would take a mission that would take more than a day to complete since most of them were easily accessible through teleportation hubs and other means of transport.

Another reason was that most of my missions were based on killing a certain beast to stop them from coming towards a town and destroying it on their path, meaning all I had to do was talk to them and encourage them to use a different path so they wouldn't be hunted.

Due to me being away for more than a day, I went and fold Olivia to stay with June for the time being, something she reluctantly agreed to since she still didn't want me to go.

Within a few minutes, I found myself sitting on the walls of the city, chatting with some of the guards who stood atop the walls while scouting as far as the eye can see for anything that might threaten the city and its civilians.

"Miss Lilith, there have been quite a few imposters recently wearing masks like yours and committing crimes under your name. Of course, we would arrest them and send them to jail, but don't you want to do something about the situation?" A guard asked me while turning his head towards my direction, where I was sitting at the end of the wall and dangling my legs off it.

Even though I had been speaking to the same guards for the last 5 months every time I got bored whenever I tried to find someone with a bounty to their name, I still couldn't remember any of their names even if my life depended on it.

Nonetheless, I didn't require their names due to how highly they saw me for a reason I could not comprehend.

"Honestly, I don't care. They can do what they wanna do, in the end, it doesn't affect me. There is a chance that they are making my job easier by making people underestimate me when seeing me, so in the end, it is an advantage" I shrugged and kept looking into the horizon.

"Miss Lilith? You have chosen to visit us here today?" An old man emerged out of a door placed on one of the towers.

The old man's hair was scattered with grey hair amongst the bushes of brown hair.

His scruffy white beard covered a large portion of his face yet in complete contrast to his large and burly beard, his body was considered quite slender.

In fact, while inlay has been considered slim, slender, and almost perfect by the standards of men and women back on earth, this man was even more slander than me, yet at the same time, he was covered with muscles from head to toe like the physique of a retired wrestler who had been starved for months.

"Old man? You're still alive?" I asked with exaggerated mannerisms as I held my hand above my mouth and recreated the infamous surprised Pikachu face that had become popular back on earth before I had died.

"Hahaha. Just because I am old doesn't mean you should be expecting me to die after every time we meet. I still have a couple of hundred years left in this vessel hahaha" the old man flexed causing his muscles to bulge while a slightly threatening aura came off him.

I could immediately tell that at his prime, he must have been extremely powerful, maybe even in the solids state since that seems to be the pinnacle of humanity at the moment.

From that I knew so far, humans on this planet have only been existing in civilizations for approximately 300000 years, yet in all that time they had still chosen to keep to the old ways while not changing a single thing for the better.

And to top it off, not only was that 3x more than the humanity of earth but it was also kick-started by already existing technology of other races such as the Dwarves and Elves who pride themselves on having exited as a race for several million years and had been scattered around the universe to rise above the other races and take over that part of the universe before merging into one race once again, yet, that was still very far away.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eyes, I finally saw a stunning woman with blood-red hair alongside a slightly drunk black-haired woman
