Marco: Alright, let"s take a walk around while we find a place to stay this night…Alice nodded and slithered with Marco around the town, talking to different people, Marco asked about normal things, like if they liked the town, some girls don"t while the rest did, but they were more excited about the colosseum for a "Certain" reason…
Alice didn"t knew about it but still recognized the expressions of the men and women that were talking about it, however Marco knew, and he didn"t care much about it. The reason for the citizens" expressions were because the colosseum became a reverse-g.a.n.g.b.a.n.g-rape-area.
They needed food so Marco entered the Tool Shop while Alice waited outside for him since her tail was a bit too big for the small shop. At the counter there was an elf.
Elf: Welcome to the Elf Tool Shop! What do you wish to buy?
Marco: Just some ingredients… And maybe I"ll look around.
Elf: Alright.
Then Marco picked up some ingredients from the shelves, water, and another cooking pot since the one he had was melted from Alice"s Omega Blaze.
He was going to the counter to pay for the items, but something caught his eyes, in a display with accessories for monsters, there was a ribbon that goes on a tail, the colors that had the ribbon were really familiar with Marco, which matched with Alice"s clothes.
Marco walked there and picked it up, then he asked to the elf.
Marco: How much is this?
Elf: Oh? A gift for your loved one? Is the girl outside the shop the one you want to give it to?
Marco: ...Yeah…
Elf: Well, it normally costs 50 gold, but since you are really cute and the girl outside is a beauty, then you can pay it 40 gold.
Marco: Nah, I"ll pay the full price. I have my own pride…
Elf: Well then, with the rest it will be 83 gold.
Marco gave the money and put everything except the ribbon in his backpack, then he said bye to the elf and walked out from the shop, towards a bored Alice.
Alice: Did you buy everything you need?
Marco: Yeah, let"s go…
It seems that Marco didn"t gave the ribbon yet, maybe he wanted to wait for a special moment or whatever as a gift.
Then they continued to walk around, and avoiding a shop that a Spider Girl owned due to Marco"s arachnophobia, and finally met with a certain individual…
?: Hehe, I have good information for you today…
Marco: Oh G.o.ddammit Amira…
Amira: Oh, you still remember me! You truly are my Hero! I am Amira, the Unfortunate Lamia…
Marco: Weren"t you in the jail at Sabasa?
Amira: Yeah, I w Wait! So you already knew!! Why you didn"t visit me then!?
Marco: ...Why should I?
Amira: Ugh… Rejected… Anyways, I have informations about Undine, she is at-
Marco: -Undine"s Spring. I"m not a dumb r.e.t.a.r.d…
Amira: …*Sob* I"m becoming useless… Now darling will kick me away… Hey readers! Encourage the Author to ensure that I will be the main heroine!
Marco/Author: f.u.c.k you!
Amira ignored the cries from Marco and the booming voice coming from the sky, which surprised everyone hearing it except for Amira.
[Meanwhile]
In the heaven…
Illias: The Author… He"s breaking the 4th wall again?
A Seraph that was at her side said with a clueless expression.
Eden: Who is this "Author"?
Illias: Oh dear… There are many things that you don"t know about reality… One of them is that there are many alternative realities, and in each one there is this "Author" that is basically G.o.d.
Eden: W-What?! B...But… You…
Illias: No, I can"t beat him, I am not even near to 0.001% of his powers… I have my own limits too, but the Author doesn"t, he could easily destroy an entire universe if he wishes so, or completely erase me from the existence.
Normal laws doesn"t apply with him, he could just erase gravity, or transform the monsters here in boys, he can even make me omnipotent in this universe with a single thought.
Eden: ...Wow…
Illias: Yeah, only certain people knows about his existence, like the current Monster Lord, my grandson Marco, and apparently that abomination too…
[Back]
Marco and Alice were in an inn, after sleeping outside for so long, both Marco and Alice were looking forward to sleep on an actual bed for once.
Marco: Well, the place was great for being populated with both humans and monsters, I thought there would be some more problems…
Alice: Me too, I thought all humans essentially detested monsters.
Marco: Meh, we will check the colosseum tomorrow, there are a few things I want to confirm… Especially in a town populated from humans and monsters, where every time you talk about the colosseum you see lewd expressions of people"s faces… "And to think that Alma Elma comes here too…"
Alice: ...If you put it like that… Yeah, there is something wrong… Hey Marco…
Marco: Yeah?
Alice: ...Could… Could you sleep with me while you use your cub form….?
Alice seemed really nervous about the request, it seems that she really liked him when he used the Nine Tailed Cub System, and since Tamamo wasn"t near…
Marco: Alright…
Then Marco exploded in a smokescreen, and when it vanished, it revealed Marco in the Nine Tailed Cub System, Alice immediately picked him up with a satisfied smile and hugged him, then she slithered in the bed and slept with him.
He sighed, but he still enjoyed the view between her b.o.o.bs, big and really soft and comfortable… He slowly closed his eyes, and entered in the land of the dreams… More specifically, a "Certain Dream".
[Dreamscape]
Marco was really annoyed due to the familiar place he was now… Illias appeared in front of him and did the same thing...
Illias: Marco… Oh brave Marco… Do not lose your way, Marco. The fate of the world is in your hands. Defeat the Monster Lord, Marco… That is what your mother wants… For you to be the True Hero… And that is what a True Hero would do…
Marco had a poker face, but inside him he was completely enraged…
Marco: "No… That is not what mom would wish for… System… Put Illias in the Blacklist…"
*Ding*
*Blacklist: Illias*
At that moment, Illias disappeared from Marco"s dreamscape, and opened her eyes in the heaven, she was taking deep breaths and she had a shocked expression.
Illias: That… That thing….
[Really short flashback]
While she was trying to control Marco"s mind with sweet words, she suddenly felt a great pain on her head, and heard a voice.
*Ding*
*Recognized intruder: Illias*
*Removing access to Dreamscape.*
[Back]
She couldn"t believe that something in this world was capable of treat her like that… Except for the Author…
[Marco"s side]
He was still in the dreamscape, but it started to change, and in a blink he found himself at a familiar white world with the wooden door, he walked inside the next room, and found the open door with metal bars.
He pa.s.sed that too, and found another door made of copper, he pa.s.sed it and entered in another room where there was a metallic door,he opened the door, and entered the next room.
Now he realized that he was in the 4th Gate, in the second version of the Kyuubi cloak, in front of him there was a room made in iron, but this one had more metal bars attached to the door, it looked like one of those doors that were used to contain dangerous things.
He tried to open it, but like he expected, it was useless, it didn"t opened, he was thinking about his situation, but suddenly everything distorted and he woke up in Alice"s arms.
