He knows this feeling, weakness. The crimson man tries to open his eyes, but it did not move one bit. The sound that he hears is silence. The air didn't feel cold or hot. He knows his body is still there, but he cannot see it. 'So it was a trick?', the man says in his head.

As hours pass in this void-like space, he finally hears a sound. He looks over to the right, where that sound comes from. The sound grows louder and louder by the second. He finally recognizes the sound as screaming, more specifically, screams of terror.

In the appearance of screams, a light appears where the sound came from, tiny, but still visible. He begins feeling hotter than before, too hot, as if there's a fire next to him. The screams turn into explosions as the light grows bigger. The light emits more, blinding the cold darkness. The light turns orange-like, and he can feel his fingers able to move once more.

The screams and explosion soon dies out, leaving only the sound of a roaring blaze. Within the quietness of the light, he can feel his eyelids able to move. He tries to open them, only to feel they're still heavier than anything he could imagine, but he still does not give up; he knows he must not disappoint God. And thus, he uses every last bit of might he has left to open his eyes.


The sound of screaming stopped and the rain continues take it's place. The blinding light disappears and the only light remaining was the moon's light. He knows he's out in the open due to how cold it is. Though, he feels himself different. His eyes becomes one again, and he sees the ever-night sky. Beautiful on it's own, with the stars blinking. 'Looks like they weren't lying.', he says in his own mind and lift his upper body up, which is surprisingly heavy. Now that he has visuals on his body, he can see he's nothing more than a skeleton. "...Welp, can't really complain. At least I'm out.", he says in a much softer tone, now that he's weaker.

[INHERITANCE COMPLETE]

in front of him, some kind of blue screen pops out of thin air. 'Huh?", he looks at the screen and sees it has change.


[INHERITANCE COMPLETE]

[NAME: DIAVOLO]

[SKELETON SOLDIER: LV.1(42)]

HEALTH -15 STRENGTH-36 AGILITY-27 WISDOM-14


"Wha-", before he can finish his sentence, a lady voice came from behind him, shouting, in a slightly worried, commanding tone, "UNDEAD BEING!"

He turns around and see the girl. She has red-orange hair, yellow eyes, wearing a green hooded cloak. She's wearing a white-peach dress underneath the cloak that's showing her cleavage, with a dagger sheath equipped to the dress.

"My name is Rubia and I've woken you from your slumber.", she says with with her hand out in the sky. Judging by her face, he can tell she's nervous. He gets up from the coffin and looks at her more closely. She has beautiful skin and is beautiful too. "Thank you for that.", he says with his right skeletal hand outstretch to her.

"Y-you can talk?", the girl asks him, nervous but intrigued. "I don't know... Am I?", Diavolo messes with her. She grabs his hand and gently shaking it up and down.


S-CLASS SCENARIO "RAE RUBIA" IS STARTING.


The moment the girl is done shaking his hand, the blue screen appears again. 'Scenario...', from reading the scenario, he gains a brilliant plan to mess with her. " You're Rubia, Rubia Rae, correct?", he says in a voice that hides many secrets. "H-how did you know?!", she shouted at him, with worries now visible. "I'll tell you how if-", before he could finish messing with her, an arrow pierces the side of her body. She falls to the ground with a loud thud.

"Hit!", a young man's voice comes from across the road. He can see two man riding horses, one wearing a red armor with a great hammer and another guy, crouch down, wearing a dark green hood with a crossbow. He knows that in this situation, he needs to act fast, really fast. "Wait!", he shouted out to them. but before he can do anything, an arrow hit him right on his jaw.

'Shit...', he knows he has lost his only opportunity of acting like a mystic skeleton messenger. He looks at the girl again, and sees the dagger. He crouches down and grabs her dagger with his left hand, and hides it under her cloak. He put his left hand under her cloak, right at the wound and raises his right hand in an attempt to not fight them, knowing he's still weak.

The man in armor, laugh at his action, out of amusement. "Look! Even a skeleton knows I'm superior.", he brags to the man in hood. The armored man dismount from the horse and gets closer to him and Rubia. He knows by the way he's walking, he's about to attack him. 'Maybe I can use him as a shield.', he plans ahead. When the man is 4 meters away from him, he pretended to run at him, stop, and take a step back when he sees him swinging his hammer. For Diavolo, this is the perfect opportunity, but for the man, it's his end.

When he's done swinging his hammer, Diavolo lunge the dagger to his throat and grab the man's body with his right hand to use as a shield. "DAMN YOU!", he heard from the hooded man. He remove the dagger and stab it in his stomach to gain a better grip. The hooded man prepares his shot, and Diavolo waits for it. Both the man waited as they both know not to be hasty. 'Smart man,'

He looks around and see thick wet green grass, bushes, and trees surrounding him. 'Looks like it's my lucky day.', using his strength, he moves the dead man corpse over to the right while still using him as a shield. The moment he arrives at the greens, the hooded man knew better and runs away, leaving his companion behind. When Diavolo saw him running away, he waits until he no longer hears the sound of footsteps.

After five minutes, he pulls the dagger and let the man's body hit the ground. 'He's coming with reinforcements.', he walks over to the girl he had just met and looks at her wounds. He slaps her face gently, as he knows she's awake. "Are they gone...?", her voice comes out rather weak. She slowly opens her eyes, revealing the beautiful yellow. "Your jaw! Are you alright?!", all Diavolo could do in respond is nod. She brings her hand on his face. It's without a doubt, soft. He looks at the noticable arrow that pierced her. 'Maybe I could...', he points to the arrow in her side. "Oh yeah... it still hurts but it's alright.", she smiles at him to reassure him.

He puts the dagger back in it's sheath. He goes over to her right side to look at the injury. 'The wood is strong, so there's a low chance of splinter, the head went in smoothly, so the iron is probably good.', he analyzed the wound. He points over to the lower part of her dress and uses his hand to inform her he's going to rip her dress to treat the injury, even just a little bit. She understands it fast and nod, "Do what you have to do.", she says to him.

He rips her dress up to the ankle. He knows that if he pulls out the arrow, her blood would escape fast and she'll die. He knows that he needs something that can block the blood. He looks under him and has one idea. Soil. 'Maybe it'll work?', he doesn't know much of science, but he must try as the time is ticking. Judging from the armor and skills of the two that had tries killing them, he knows they're not some bandits, but mercenaries. Letting him go will alert the others so must act fast. He grabs a handful of the wet soil. He crouch down right where the wound is. Rauna nods, trusting him.

He grabs the arrow on the side and pull it slowly so it doesn't bleed out as much. Due to the pain, she bites her own arm just to bear the pain. Once the arrow is out, he places the wet soil on the wound. He looks at her one more time, and sees tears coming out of her eyes. He uses the ripped cloth and tie it around her body, tighter where the wound was. Her muffled screams slowly starts to calm down. Her arm now has a bite mark that's bleeding slightly. "Is it... done?", she asks weaken. He nods.


[MEDICINE LV.1]

[MEDICINE: helps identify the wound and it's cure]


'Neat', he would have said had his jaw not been shot. He didn't pay much attention to the screen and instead focus on Rubia. Her bleeding seems to have slowed down a lot. As he puts his attention to her, the blue screen from before pops out.


[NAME:RUE RUBIA]

[NECROMANCER LV.1

[HEALTH-6 STRENGTH-5 AGILITY-6 WISDOM-12 ]

[GOODWILL: 3]

-Rubia has some feeling of attachment for the skeleton she raised.


'Goodwill?', he thinks seeing how his doesn't have it. He hears the sound of galloping horses, a lot. Though, before he could have done anything, two arrow flew into him, one hitting his left eye socket and one hitting his forehead. 'Damn it...', he says as his body hits the ground with a loud thud. His vision losing. The only sound that he hears was the galloping of horses, the rain, and her scream. 'If only I was faster...'
