The Game Rune System

Chapter 127: Her past

After Tetsuya and Anna had their time, he fell asleep and slept in the devil queen's bosom. He woke up relatively quickly, after roughly six hours. His body was overwhelmed by the queen's hug that betrayed her previous tough appearance.

She held him tightly and her hands wouldn't let him go until he promised her many times.

Tetsuya looked at the devil queen's, then his mind shook with the new message window.

It came straight from the MMORPG Rune.

[The Guild.]

[You can set up your guild.]

The Guild was one of the concepts that made gaming fun. You would be able to meet a lot of new people in the guild, open a new talk room and just spend time with various people. In this world, however, Tetsuya expected the guild to be a tad different.

He wouldn't invite people, but his women instead.

[You have created The Tetsuya's Guild.]

[The Tetsuya's Guild Headquarters quest has begun.]

The name was simple because Tetsuya unconsciously knew that it wouldn't be a guild with mass people. It would be like a place for him and his closest ones, so the name didn't really matter much here.

The name was simple, but the guild concept and the headquarters already stunned both the game masters.

Ashley utterred, "The Headquarters... It's a place in dimension for you to meet everyone." The Guild was like a dimension! If he had those headquarters, then Tetsuya would be able to come in and out whenever he wanted.

For example, he would be able to leave this underground in the blink of an eye!

However, this was the first quest that would take some time.

For now, Tetsuya looked at the guild privileges. He had limited spots, but up to ten members could be invited. These members would be able to chat with Tetsuya regardless of the distance.

Another privilege was that the guild members could see each other's status and many other things, so Tetsuya already knew he wouldn't invite common people to this guild. The status was too sensitive thing after all.

The Guild Master found a few more privileges such as guild quests and other fun stuff that could sow competitiveness within his moderators ranks.

He smiled and turned his eyes to Anna, "Slept well?"

Though Anna didn't say anything, she inwardly slept too well. It had been a long time since she had such a good sleep, but it would surely raise the ego of this man, so she kept her lips shut.

Of course, Tetsuya already proved to be different from his other self, but so was she. Anna just raised her body and left the bed to clean and dress herself. Tetsuya did the same, but he used his powers and another bathroom.

He then faced Anna in the throne room, "Do you know what kind of demon is here?" The demon was someone that had to be beaten. He sealed Anna's strength and impersonated the lord devil, so his plans extended to unimaginable reach.

Tetsuya would need to get prepared for this man from the beginning, otherwise, the gap would become too big.

The demons instinctively wanted to kill each other and Tetsuya didn't think the enemy male demon would let him go after taking Anna away.

Anna nodded, "I don't know their name, but he uses runes to enslave others. He wants to enslave me as well, but the devil race's respect toward me and their infatuation is too much for this seal."

"How did you even become the devil queen?" Tetsuya inquired. He instantly added that Anna didn't have to share her past with him. The relationship was in a critical state, so he couldn't ask too much even if it would greatly satiate his curiosity.

The queen shrugged, laid her head on her hand, then began the tale.

[The Birthday Party.]

"Tetsuya-" The overwhelming light flashed suddenly at that birthday party! Even though it was blinding, Anna and others could see a glimpse of others and reach out toward them. Of course, while one hand reached for Tetsuya, the other went for the closest ladies next to them.

Anna wanted to support herself by holding one of Tetsuya's women. In this phenomenon that reeked off with absurdity and unexplainable things, Anna just wanted to have someone to accompany her.

However, the light was too fast and swallowed them faster than their bodies could react.

Anna appeared alone in the red lake. Her whole vision spun due to the metallic taste and smell that assailed her senses.

She waved her hands, splashed the water around and tried her best to not get swallowed by it.

However, the blood whirpool began to suck her in.

She cried out, called the name of her beloved, but ended up getting swallowed by it. Her whole transformation began as the blood lake injected itself into her veins.

Amidst the red bubbles, Anna first got thrown into the mental warfare. She faced the devil ancestors and got beaten by them whose hearts solely wanted to emblaze the whole world. As a human, she didn't understand them at all.

Even now, as the devil queen, she didn't understand this one desire.

Why would the devils want to put the whole world in flames? Even if they could live within those, wouldn't that be too cruel and... boring? Even if the cities and villagers could pop out of these flames, all of this would be that of one culture.

And Anna couldn't imagine living with the flames around her, whether it would be those around her as walls or slithering in the sky. This just sounded too absurd and unrealistic.

However, everything that happened so far was real. The blood continued to invade her body and she had been getting beaten by the devil ancestors who screamed at her naive and stupid thoughts.

Their screams turned different after some time.

It was because despite their battering, Anna's body continued to absorb the blood lake. More than half of it disappeared within her. Her skin glowed with red hue, horns and wings already sprouted outside.

Even if they couldn't pass their beliefs onto her, her devil transformation continued.

Thus, the previous chosen ones appeared in forms of skeletons.

Their skulls rattled, crackling laughter escaping their empty mouths. Their sockets shone red and bones looked even redder. They slowly closed up distance and extended their bony claws to cleave her body!

However, Anna's instincts kicked in and her wings became bigger. Those wings sheltered her inside and protected against all the skeletons! This stalemate was against Anna, however. A faint light penetrated through her wing and slipped inside, poking her trembling eyes.

She spotted the red skeleton's eye looking at her within that light!

Soon, Anna got forced to fight against all demons with her fists, not wings.

Her horns then lit up and let out flames! Similarly to this unrealistic part of her body, her hands lit up in inferno flames that melted the previous chosen ones in a flash. Her flames then licked the melted bones and strengthened her furthers.

But all this beating and fear planted too much fear within her body!

"Later on, I was exposed to the Lord Devil's soul. He was still here and he yearned for me genuinely. If he had a body, I am sure he would've already sullied me. I fought against his soul, his aides, then lied to the whole devil race and claimed the throne." Anna said.

Tetsuya wasn't alone from the beginning and his whole contract was far easier. He also had gotten a much better bloodline that didn't oppose him nor tried to shift his personality. Of course, Ashley was under that influence, but it wasn't that big compared to the devil race.

And she was alone all this time. Tetsuya wanted to hear more details, but Anna deliberately omitted those.

Even so, Tetsuya could imagine all those hardships the woman from Earth had to go through. As someone who had no experience, whether battle or fantasy one, Anna survived the whole inheritance process with strong will and heart.

Tetsuya closed his eyes and said, "I am glad... You were always a strong woman, Anna."

"I killed all those devils... Even if they had a thousand years of experience, I had the purest inheritance within my body... All devils are infatuated with me just because of it."

"No, it's because you are that charming. You, not the inheritance."

"Thanks. Back to the past, the demon also helped me. I killed all devils, but the lord devil's soul was something I couldn't understand just like those devil ancestors who had appeared in my mind. I couldn't get rid of the soul, so the demon who did it helped me. But then the demon became interested in me and I ended up with another problem. Luckily for me, I had the whole devil race already in my hand."

"If I wanted to get rid of those devils, what would you do?"

"Go ahead." Anna knew he wouldn't kill her, "I will help you if you have a way."
