Chapter 4: Stolas and the layers of the Labyrinth (The fairy layer)

Bellas narration: a year has passed a and I feel like I am getting into the rhythm of being Stolas and all the gory bored detail of being him, though maybe when I meet with blitzo during the harvest moon festival we do some cooking.

But still no quests and needless to say the comics showing the Goitia family….

Shows a taller tan colored bird that Stolas (Bella) knows from Stolas memories is Damian his half brother from another mother Pidemon married as he and his wife and 5 children decided to visit which was typical as Stolas learned that his many siblings and at times Pidemon visits during galas…and side gassed him heck nearly all the Goitias just insult and sneered at him, with Stella adding to the flames of the fire as well as Andre as he snid rumors about him.

I learn that besides Stolas half brother Damian and a cousion in Seriti there are others and half of them I feel are destined for stuff like trouble busters or Factoogle, Panic collection Mane wado and all those You tube series where the golden child gets Karma struck on them but now…

It shows Stolas (Bella) taking some fruit punch as he decided to just leave the gala as it was giving him a headache and a anxiety attack due to the resonating memories from his old life as a human and from Stolas as he rubbed his forehead as he walked pass Damian who whispered rude things about him. "You know what his known for? He is the spare heir?" He said rudely as while Stolas was a prince he was treated horridly as he was just one of many heirs that Pidemon had as it all echoed in his head as he got to the hallway of portraits no one saw him and he just couldn't take it that he needed to let it out.

Stolas: That's not who I am! *Walks down the hallway*

Dosent anybody ever get it right?

Stolas

Why dont they remember I am "Stolas"

Stolas

Isnt it any harder to say then "God dam scrawny weakling" and "Nerd" and "weirdo" and "Spoiled brat"

He sang recalling the mingling tramas that he and the real stolas faced and the repression that he just want to cut loose but not yet when Octavia was a teenager and there is a safety net that he cant be a girl on the outside then what he also is on the inside.

Dosent anybody think that I can hear? I hear

Specially when I got them screaming or whispering in my ear I hear

Everyday I am screamed at and mocked at and pushed around till I drop

If I had a wish god I wish they'd stop

Stolas soon left the gallery as he entered the hallways away from the other guests but whispers still echoed as he knows Stella is mocking him and berating him for being meek and weak.

When will they? I wish they'd-

When will they? When will they? When will they? *Shakes his head as tears seem to try to slip out* sometimes there hatred is out of control *Recals two pasts of being bullied as Stolas and being verbally abused or pushed as a child as Bella*

God how they hurt me

They may say "Suffering is good for the soul"

But they hurt me

Stolas wishes for a stronger magic the power to take them all out all down as well as Pidemon his biggest abuser, with words and physical slaps and hurts.

And if I could I'd bring them all down to their knees

I'd make them sorry forever for teasing Stolas, Stolas, Stolas

Taking a break Stolas Calmed down, lacking the gamer mind had allowed him to face the turmoil of two sets of memories, the memories of the body he has control and his old memories as Bella in reality as he wipped away the tears from his face taking a few deep breaths.

I will not cry I'm okay

I've tried so hard to play there way

Why do they find it so hard to say?

Stolas

Soon he makes his way to the balcony that looks out at the garden area as he looked out at the beauty of outside.

Why do they always treat me so bad? They all know my name

Its Stolas

I dont know why they all get so mad its always the same

He felt a strong brush of magic wanting to weld up and seem to reach out to something as he wondered why when he has control over star magic in a way…or more like aura summon, no it feels like something from black clover like a magic that was truely his and not what was given to him at birth as he looked at his hands.

What's going on deep in me? All of these feelings suddenly

If I am changing will I still be Stolas?

Or I will become someone truely new

Stolas recalled that he has the gamer power and the potential to become more then what he was maybe learn magic outside the grimware like the novice ToS black magic spells and learn other types of magic…slim chance on light magic but at least learn something

Imagine the things I might do

Smiling at the possibilities as he walked down and started to go into the garden feeling a bit more better as singing feels like a good cleanse for him

I might take a chance I've always wondered how

Maybe I'll sing in public and laugh and parade more then I do now

And the world will open its eyes and see more then what the world just recognize as Stolas

Then all those people who scream night and day "Poor weakling Stolas"

Little did he know in a far corner a gazebo that seemed abandoned seem to rattle its changed gate as if feeling Stolas passion and soul

They'd see the new me and they might even say "Look its Stolas"

And final I'd hear their words sounding so sweet thousands of voices forever repeating

Stolas, Stolas, Stolas

I am the sound of distant thunder! The color of flame! I'm Stolas *as if his feet were being guided by something as he continued through the garden*

I am a song of endless wonder that no one will claim

But someday, oh my someday Someone will know my Name!

Stolas won't lie on his big dreams of a big chance for himself and possibly Blitzo when the time comes for them to meet for that faitfful cannon event to start a whole series that can be improved and changed on,

[Opening to Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear]

I held your fragile heart that seemed like it would shatter

Side to side you can see a human Beth and Bella as they looked at the cloudy drawing of there old lives as humans as they gently held hands together.

From a single touch without dropping it

Holding there hands together they fell backwards as it seems to mimic bloody water as the camera zooms over pentagram city as it then zooms to the pentagram in the sky as you can see the script "Reborn souls in the Vizziverse"

It then goes to the inside of a teenager Blitzo as he puts on his hoody and black shirt and shoes as he tied his hair in a messy pony tail as it goes to Stolas home as a young adult as he looks at himself in the mirror at his blonde face feathers as he then selects a outfit that resembles Rita Mordio from Tales of vesperia

As the duo puts on the final touches as Blitzo grabs a red lined black backpack with a core and places it on his back as Stolas grabs a bag similar to May Emerald bag and pockets a black clover like grimware as side by side it shows Blitzo on the path through pentagram city and Stolas in what looks like the land of gnomes from the labyrinth games

As you looked up at the sky peeking through the passing people and buildings

It shows Blitzo walking pass the various buildings of pentagram city as it shows Stolas walking through what looks like the labyrinth layer of farries with a aster knight, Star dancer, and Peer fortress puppet behind him

As the camera shows Blitzo walking pass his employers Moxxie, Millie and Loona who was typing on her Vox phone as Stolas walked by his daughter Octavia as he rubs her head

As it then goes to the duo waling by Frizzaroli and Asmodus in Ozzies as the two greeted the duo as a protective scolding Brain and Mahallah tried to make sure Blitzo was safe as he laughed a bit at them

The lifeless smile you showed that day felt so warm

It then goes to show Blitzo walking into what looks like a warehouse

As you see Castor, Mitsami and his cat familiar, Then of the Hazbin crew

As it shows Blitzo and Stolas showing off how they are cooking similar to "Delicious in a dungon" freaking out Angel dust, Moxxie and CHERUB as Collin fainted as the imp and owl were preparing a large Cocktrice

The moment still sparkles in the corner of my memories being painted over

It shows Charlie smiling as it shows Stolas and Blitzo talking to her as Stolas took Charlies hand as if dancing and singing as Vaggie joins in watching

It then shows zetsel and Camilia, then of Lucifer, Asmodus and Frizzaroli Bee and Vortex, then of Barbie wire and Verkrosia

Dont drop the fragile heart that seemed like it would shatter from a single touch

Then side to side in diffrent battles Stolas and Blitzo were on the attack as Blitzo was firing weapons or spells at foes from Borderlands as Stolas dressed in Eras robe of Yuan pulled out a steel sword as he and a few puppets teamed up to hack and attack monsters from the galleria labryant

As in one scene it shows Stolas charging as he uses a staff to pole volt to get momentum to slay a flesh statue as Blitzo pulled out a large rocket launcher called "The Maid" to fire at Hansome Jack

There's no need to face an empty reality

It then shows the duo on earth in there human disguises along with Millie, Moxxie, The Hazbin crew, Mallah, Brain, Barbie, Verkrosia, Frizzaroli and Asmodus in human form enjoying watching the scene in front of them

Just keep the memory of our talk in that place on that day

Both Blitzo and Stolas leaned on each other happy to see the land beyond them in there new and happy life.

Chapter 4 Stolas and the layers of the labyrinth (The fairy layer)

After separating from his 'toxic family' Stolas took a walk through the garden as he exhaled seeing he was far away from the toxic members of his family he swapped his outfit for one that looks like Cheryl (Pokemon) the forest green complimenting his love of plants and flowers or she as he decided to have one in private as he has to play what he calls the con of a normal Prince of the goitia, but once her daughter reaches the age and when she and Blitzo meet it will be time to drop this and show she is a genderfluid demisexual and more powerful and expressive then they knew "But how can I grow strength *Walks through the garden glad it was thick and luscious to hide her a bit* I get no quests to gain EXP I know only the novice spells but battling dummies won't get me EXP just get me used to my powers, Viz what do you want me to do?" She pondered as she continued to explore the garden when he eyes caught on something…it looked like a Gazebo…a familiarly structured over something that Stolas knows is familiar as she approached the gate as she touched it…as something shattered like glass as she stepped back as some sort of chain fell off the gate that was barricading it as it opened as the owl demon stepped inside and inside was a well swelling and swirling with green magic that buzzed under her feathers as she recognized it and what it means.

"*Gets starry eyed* This is the entrance to the labyrinth of refrain I bet there are lots of monsters in each layer of the labyrinth that I can explore and practice and level up and become equal to IMP when its time *Rubs her chin* if its time diluted like the labyrinth of refrain, I need a guinnie pig to test that" he pondered.

"HAY UGLY BIRD!" Yelled a childish voice as Stolas flinched as he turned and saw a little goitia boy of 7 that reminded her of Damian, this was Sorran, Damians extremely spoiled third son due to how so called smart and how he is called special over and over "Ah Sorran what are you doing here?" Asked Stolas though annoyed "I heard you sing like a sissy, why would you sing about respect no one will respect a weak loser like you my daddy said so because you study stars and plants like a nerd while I study magic and will be a better member to the goitias like my dumb sister Kathy, I'm telling daddy that you are dressing like a women ugly women" he taunted.

Bellas narration: Sorran was always like a spoiled brat always saying 'my daddy this' and 'my daddy this' because of this stupid game Damian placed to make sure he has a 'strong breed' with playing a game of trying to get approval form there parents, with the older two sons and one of the younger sisters minus Kathy who is humble and works hard and studies hard…while the others just leave a carefree life…

Well I got my guinie pig

"Hay what are you thinking about! I'm telling dad you dress like a women and are trying to undermine his superiority freak *Stolas picks Sorran up with Telekinisis* hay what are you doing let me go!" He yelled "I will" she said as she drops the brat into the well "After you act as my new Ba-ba like in labyrinth of refrain…I may face a witch guardian version of him, but who cares one less annoyance and it will test Damians loyalty to his kids if he cares for any of them" she pondered as she studied the well "GIve it a few minutes real time and should I just dive in and go see if I can find a weapon in the labyrinth…should I wait and see if this is permanent or dive on in and take as much as I can and fight as much as I can and explore" she said and minutes later she was climbing down the rope "I am going in so watch out!" She said as she climbed down as her feet touched down as she entered what looks like a area with brick walls glowing like it was a moss in a strange glow as mushrooms or flowers see to grow in such a environment. Stolas was in awe as she looked around but was careful as she didnt know if it was street battle style like in pokmemon Adventure or like refrain and she must touch a black orb "Ok Bella, breath in breath out…you have lived in the body of a owl demon for a year and can cast novice Tos Spells just…calm…" said Stolas as she looked around carefully as she wondered if she can find any weapons for herself and what build she should be.

"Not glass cannon that won't work out, maybe be a magic swordsman, with high strength since the real Stolas is a twig" she said as she carefully walked down the hallways keeping an careful look for monsters as she saw doorways as she entered one and saw a open room (no monsters) and a few chests around three "first minute I think in a labyrinth and I get my first treasure" she said approaching but paused "None of you be mimics from delicious in dungon…or from Tales of syomphonia…" she said as she gently anime studied it like she was peeking from the side…then tapped the first chest…then kicked it then opened it from behind…it didnt react as she walked to the front "Ok next time I get a metal pole to tap it" she said as she peeked in and saw a book with a image of mammon with a large pile of gold and treasure as she made a face as a screen appeared

[Obtained Mammons scent

Would you like to learn "Scan"?

"Scan? Like I can learn monsters stats and more is diffrent then observe mostly because I never learned the skill in my year of being alive even when I tried to study other demons or items to learn it…well no time like the presence and if I recall fan fictions with Observe maybe it will mutate into something more…same with observe in the gamer with a lot of practice" she said pressing yes to learn as it resolved into motes of light and she felt it get absorbed into her brain as she felt new knowlege

Learned the skill "Scan" Lv.1 0.00%

Passive/Active

Allows the user to obtain information from a target be it a weapon, item or enemy

Effectiveness is booste by Wis/int

Passively boosts INT and WIS by 5% per level

"Ooooh tingly and I feel like I can use the skill now but how does that look?" She wondered as she blinked thinking it as her lower right eye became blue looking like a scan eyes as it now looked like it was half normal and half blue "Ohh like that I hope I can find a foe or a item to see how this works. He said opening the next chest and in it was a familiar weapon belonging to Rita Mordio, her starting weapon the Sash and Karols sub weapon eh his first one the normal sized bag, however scan showed a unique power of "Magical storage Lv2" as according to Scan it means he can store up to 30 random items and can stack other magical bags if he finds any "No complaints…humm magical bag stacking…like Ivy from that magna where the no star tamer searches trash to survive…why not" she said taking the items and deciding to use the sash as a starter weapon for himself he equipped it however a odd effect it seemed to stretch and wrapped on him like a Raymond "Huh? What the?" She said as she flicked her hand and it extended with a slap "So is this gone happen to all scrolls or whips I make…note to me get a ToV chain to test and the bag *equips it* it can make a bit of inconspicousness to hide my invatory" said Stolas opening the last chest and finding a card holder? With the card charms used by Sheena in ToS and a notebook underneath "Huh? *opens the card holder and saw that there were 3 of each elemental Cards Sheena used and then checks the notebook* lets see it was written by a researcher who studied the "Ninja" art of using these spell cards and learned of a method to combine the basic cards into other elements like wood, steam, metal and magma, explored the labyrinth…suspicious about someone named Kagagura who knew a mysterious power of soul…*Soul, like Black Clover soul magic or what Shion studied in Lv.9999 Gacha, either way I better hold onto this book, it looks like its the first of several" said Stolas storing the notebook that was titled [Kojis Card arts notebook Vol.1] in her invatory as she used scan on the cards she had to quirk a eyebrow "huh weird, they have black clover Spirit magic? Kojis notes said that he can summon a small spirit with the cards using the energy of the cards elemental properties, better study that later and use as a trump card since according to the notes it takes quite a bit of mana…wait raw mana like in the labtranth games" said Stolas as she walked out of the room looking back and forth for enemies.

"I haven't seen manna pools but can I store it and use it? How?" she pondered but he saw a black orb similar to the monsters from the labyrinth games "Bingo" she said touching it as a screen appeared in her vision

[You are about to enter a battle arena, it will be like in the tales arena where you can free fight, but same rules apply to status effects and weapon effects as certain enemies can be slain by certain elemental or weapon like damage like in refrain.

Find the [?] to keep track of monsters elemental and physical weakness

And a fair warning to be careful when you find the [?] and boost your MP pool, monsters are attracted to raw Mana and the mana of others and may swarm in larger groups.]

"Wait what?" Said Stolas as he was teleproted into a battle arena where he confronted three onion like golems…Picaros as they hopped up and down as she flipped the sash out "Ok these are a good start for Lv.1 noob fighters like me, so lets practice a bit first with using a sash and then the more Piccaros and maybe a bumblebee…no use fireball or lightning those are small and well nimble" she said side stepping the charging little onion golems as she slash slapped them "Not a math person but maybe work on my own style of scroll fighting" she said as she side slapped them as she chanted her own Art skill [Scroll slap-sides] and then spinned on his foot as the scroll made its own whirlwind [Scroll Spin] she chanted as the three were pushed back badly hurt as they dissipated into smoke

[Battle won earned 30 EXP

Missing [?] no mana is earned

"What is that item?" Pondered Stolas but happy and elated she won her first battle "Yes, yes even vs Picoros its a start…and weak as they give 10 EXP each…boo start" she said looking down and saw the corpses still there as she picked them up "Huh? Weird is it gonna be like Delicious in dungon? Hummm, maybe I need to practice cooking and figure out what to make with these Piccoro corpses, maybe cut them up and sauté them like normal onions" he said storing them in the invatory. "If any monsters fall like this maybe take them and figure out how to cook them up…except a dagmire, they are mud and stone and possibly inedible" she pondered as she continued through the corridors though finding barrels that she smashed finding Mugwort balms from the labrantth games (Around 5) which to her will help and quartzes, mostly yellow quartzs from Tales of syomphonia and from labyrinth of refrain Jitterbugs "Weird these jitterbugs are for puppets *Finds a soothing egg* maybe if I learn how to craft I can make a revival medicine" she said coming to another room with two more chests as one had a reverse doll (as a just incase equip) and the other chest had a surprise to him was armor or a cloak, it was a druid Cloak from Tos as and using Scan unlike in the game it was embedded with equipped effects just like the Cards and the bag she founded, but this equipped skill was a magic skill type from Mardek to use "Nature magic"

Comparing it to Yunas Kuma suit from "Kuma Kuma Kuma bear the equipped suit besides giving 200 MP and 200 HP when equipped, Stolas would have access to all the Skill set moves from Mardek in addition the "Nature magic" is akin to black clover magic as the Druid Robe can Level up and to her means she can gain new Nature based skills…like maybe wood or flower magic "Or something related to it, defently op luck but I will take it" she said switching to male Pronouns as he puts on the cloak the sash still wrapped well around him. "This is cheat luck or *Sees a message left behind by someone* vastly diffrent" he pondered as he read that there were several teams trying to explore the labyrinth lead by a odd person of unknown gender with a dumpy looking demon. "So the items I find maybe deep in the labyrinth will belong to those people, it looks like they are all dead by the miasma that apparently I am immune *Checks his skill screen* no Miasmia resistance so it could be because I am a goitia demon and also well…a demon, it must be toxic to humans, which explains why the puppets were affect in refrain they are human souls in immortal puppet bodies and they are still affected" muttered Stolas as he continued on though facing weaker Piccoros and nimblebees that using lightning and fireball really helped as from the nimble bees…7 Exp as the owl huffed as he fought around 8 more Picoros and 8 Nimblees and leveled up.

The perks from "Seer of stars" and "Magic adept" gave a little boost to his INT, WIS and MP and a boost of 3 luck was a help…though according to what it says it only applies to item drops and well item searching "Well I am getting 15 Stat points per level up so…exchange, but lets see…I get 25 HP per point in VIT and I have 4…*Taps the vitality button putting 5 pushing it up to 9 and boosting his HP to 145* Stolas you are frail as a twig and this is why WG fics are made in that level not just your body and the rest is in STR and now I will focus on other stats until I feel caught up with wisdom and int" he muttered as he continued to explore finding a more wider area that looked like a discarded camp as he raided it finding 3 Magic bags from the anime "Weakest tamer searches trash", 6 Loz flints, onion bombs from Final fantasy XII, a Tales of Vesperia tent, and a Tos Metal braclet and Iron braclet as well as a note about the camp and how they decided to set up a starter research area as others went deeper as Stolas founded notes on a tool called the "Shekah pad" that was useful in mapping.

"I better find that, but in finding the items in this camp…its worrysome, did these researchers try to tame the labyrinth by setting up the waypoints *Looks around* no magic seals so time must and passed to cause the way point decay" he pondered as he took another look only finding a box…with 5 puppets and a note "*reading note* Kagaguras idea to use soul energy to power these Magi mania puppets is sound as they are immortal and can help with clearing out monsters without any cost to our strength as we delve deeper into the labyrinth, the head scientist daughter asks that we dont use soul energy still with memories to animate these puppets, but Kagagura told us to trust him on matters of using soul magic *Finishes* so like in the labyrinth of refrain but it looks like there is a conflict of using soul magic if I recall it from Black clover and how it was done" he pondered putting away the puppets

"Maybe if I can find a skill book to learn how to make Magi mania puppets, I can have some back up as I go deeper" he pondered as he continued to explore to try to find the stairs to the second floor as he came to a large room with pillars and a door as he tried to approach it…but a problem…really big problem for a level 2 person like him, a Dagmire…but it wasnt a normal Dagmire but it was bigger and seem to have a Skeleton riding covered in the muck of the dagmire "Ohhhh ok ok ok I think you need some space and I am sure that I can give you that if I can just…" started Stolas as the mutated Dagmire roared and was about the lunge to attack the owl demon as he yelped screaming as his foot stepped wrong onto a surface as it crumbled into a hole due to the mysterious blessing called "Maple luck" as he fell through just before the Dagmires claw could swipe him.

Needless to say due to the decay of the area…he fell hard into the 4th floor into a room that looks like a scientist lab, but for the moment the owl was face planted on the ground. From such a height of falling that a person would die from such a height, but thanks to gamer logic on the owl and having the Druid robe increasing his HP to 375…he survived with 25 HP, alive but in severe pain as he moaned "Ooooooohhhhhh *Gets up as a few bones popped* Mother sun of Hubbard and Primus and Viziverse God that hurts! *Casts [Earth heal] a few times as he got up* Uggghhh *Straightens his back* nearly forgot in Refrain there are these pit holes and they mother fuck hurt on the puppets even though they are imortal they feel great pain like this" he said as he felt his HP restored and recovered as he felt the pain fade away "Alright I wonder how far I fell? I bet deep because it felt deep" he pondered as he looked around and seeing where he was he gasped in awe.

It looked like a lab, as it was cleaned of moss but on the table was looked like a puppet creation station, and a box filled with puppet bodies and another with various levels of puppet parts from Poor to exquisite, and a desk with a black clover grimware, but the cover wasnt like any of the grimwares he saw on the anime and it was thin about one page, with a dark black with blue stars on the edges and dotting all over with streaks of red, yellow, blue and blue green like the labranyth on the back with a moon on the back but on the cover is the sigil of the puppet witch. "This is…a black clover grimware?" He pondered as he touched it and got a screen prompt.

[Would you like to learn the Black clover grimware magic Puppet magic?]

That caused Stolas to step back in surprise "Wait that wasnt in the anime! *Ponders face* but it must be new" he pondered as he continued looking around as he saw papers on the wall that showed a progress to use soul energy to create puppet soldiers like in refrain and a lantern magical item that according to the notes can trap human souls to keep them from losing there memories from a condition called "Soul decay" which meant souls will lose there memories with time and become energy for Puppet soldiers and notes written by the high scientists daughter writing concern about Kagagura who was making the puppets with souls with there memories attached, as she studied how to use decayed soul energy to make puppet soldiers with traits she made herself to help her in her own research and to save souls she saw with her "Perception ability" as Stolas founded a note book marked "Stellas Puppet notes" it was thick and had a detained information about puppet soldiers and how to make them similar to how it was done in refrain and galleria and the effects of using souls with there memories on a puppet doll.

"Hummm, I dont think I should invite normal demons into the labyrinth, but having immortal puppet soldiers can be a boon help it can be like in "Lost child" where I have my own team and fight with them" he said with a smile at the idea as he walked back to the table and touched the grimware and accepted yes as he glowed as he felt as if something…shifted in him

[Learned Puppet magic

Allows the user to control and create puppets. Puppets created can follow the users orders and can attack independently if needed.]

As he read it the grimware dissolved and swirled as Stolas held his hand out as the sparkle swirls seem to combined and formed over his hand as it transformed into a similar feature of the grimware for puppet magic, but it was dark green with the Witches sigil on the top part of the grimware and a compass that was a gold color. The back was bare and just white which confounded Stolas curiously. "Weird is this *Opens it and he can see the information of creating a puppet soldier, not the one in refrain but a basic puppet solder with no features that can be equipped with items* well I have been getting good equip items…and it looks like something is missing and that is soul magic to make refrain puppets" said Stolas as its a start to make wooden dummies that can be a distraction but not what he really wanted. "Well better finish raiding the lab maybe there can be a clue to find a grimware on Soul magic" he pondered as he raided and took all that the lab had to give, which was a bit as who ever was researching the stuff in here really put there work into studying puppet magic or crafting as there were even items from Kingdom hearts as he pocketed first 15 Puppet bodies giving him 20 puppet soldiers to make…if he can find a blank soul, but around 20 Lucid Shard, Gems and Crystal's from KH as well as 50 spirit shards and gems as he founded a booklet on creating special spirit based brackets and necklaces with the KH materials to boost magic or spiritual power for puppet works, and another notebook on using a "Spirit lantern" she created to store and infuse puppet bodies with energies to come to life without sacrificing a non decayed soul, and even notes on that and the spirit lantern which to Stolas looked like the Poe lantern item that Link got in Loz Twilight princess but it looked more festive as he took it and used scan.

[Spirit lantern

Used to store raw soul energy to use at a later date. Need to know [Soul magic] in order to use.

Every 20 soul energy creates a small soul

Every 50 creates a medium soul

Every 200 creates a large soul

Holding it Stolas knew the tool will be dangerous in the hands of those who have the power of soul magic and so put it in his invatory "If I can use Puppet magic then there must be magic for soul magic to infuse the puppets to create soldiers and real soldiers and not wooden soldiers *Finds a chest with 2 sets of Loz BoTW Amber earrings, a Climbers bandana, Climbing gear and Climbing boots, a Dessert voe headband, desert voe spaulder desert voe trousers, 3 Diamond circlets and opal earrings, a ruby circlet, sapphire circlet, Stealth mask, stealth chest guard, stealth tights, a topaz earring set* but won't lie she really wanted to arm her wooden soldiers to the teeth with good armor I mean if I wear these desert set I can use sand magic and the stealth set I can use premonition magic when equipped" he said putting it into his invatory as well as opening the next chest and finding a ToS water spider accessory and a note [I modded and upgraded these water spiders to walk on the sludge of this layer and other types of mud to mimic the power of "Veil" I dont know what Dorrama is telling to Domina but she is starting to get more cowardly and erratic especially to non Puppet soldiers]

"Dorrama? Who's she? I know who Domina is but Dorrama? Strange" he said as he pocketed the spider shoes mental to use it to cross any sludge banks in the fairy layer as he studied another desk where there were two lanterns that reminded her of the lanterns used to hold Fantie from Labyrinth Galleria but it wasnt lit "Weird did the researcher studied how to trap spirits like Fantie?" He pondered as he did another sweep and founded a book a big as a molcrof notebook but it has stickers or patches and on the back was the witches symbol as a note was let on the desk as he read it.

[To who ever finds this and I hope you are a good person, this is my facet creation notebook, a notebook dedicated to create new puppet facets if you know Puppet magic and Soul magic.

This notebook will allow you to make a body for your puppet soldiers, but a fair warning you can only choose one character appearance at a time, the page of the character you chose will be absorbed and recorded into your grimware. But you are free to draw your own facet face if you want to, as long as you use the magic in recipie I will provide in this note]

Seeing that the recipie is simple decided to keep the letter in the notebook for now as he flipped through it and saw it was the facets for the Labyrinth of refrain, minus the ones that were purchased via the witches petition but he saw that there were ripped pages which means someone stole the designs "It looks like I may need to find those pages, but having the [Aster knight], [Shinobushi], [Theatrical star], [Marginal maze], [Peer fortress] and [Mad Raptor] facets are a good start…just need soul energy" said Stolas as his eyes saw something on a pillar, it was a white and black grimware that looks like Lucius Zogratis own grimware from black clover, thin almost like a booklet with one page as he walked up and then touched it.

[Would you like to learn Black Clover Grimware Magic soul magic?]

At that prompt Stolas yelped and ran to the side and then peeked studied the booklet with a eye narrowed look "mmmmmmm, this is a reeeeeeeaaaallllllllyyyyyyyyy powerful magical attribute that a madman tried to dominate devils in black clover *gets on his stomach and crawls to the book studying it on the ground* I may look like a demon but I am a human of reality with needs…neeeeeeeeedddddddsssssss" he hissed staring at the book as if contemplating to learn such a powerful Magic attribute as he picked it up in between the thumb and forefingers of both his hands at the top "Ok I will learn how to use soul magic why! To create puppet soldiers who will help me survive this maze Lost child style and to keep a memo to me, do not use it on the sins or any sinners or hellborn becasue I am above Lucius Zogratis as a human of reality and I am above such pettiness Lucius shows" he said as still holding it with a thumb and forefinger he tapped yes to learn the spell attribute as the grimware he obtained after learning puppet magic appeared as the page flapped as the grimware for Soul magic dissolve and got absorbed into the grmware as a new page appeared that had in the corner the double clover that was on Lucius Zogratis grimware as on the white back of it the same clover appeared.

Allows the user to manipulate and control souls, be it the souls of humans, demons or angels, or collect decayed soul energy, or reincarnate souls seperated from there bodies.

Allows the user to see souls in the body or severed from the body and be able to touch and reincarnate them with [Body, Blood and Bone] magic or with another vessel]

Once the magic was absorbed into his body and the human soul inside Stolas rubbed his eyes as he felt something shift and form inside of him as for a second you can see his true human self as Bella as something was gained

Bella narration: it was in that moment, I gained something that will really help me down the line as I gain followers on two sides I never expected that is not a sinner or hellborn.

Tomas voice: Hay are you ok? You seem to be in a bit of pain

Skurds voice: he seems fine though how he destroyed those books I feel sorry that Stellas work was destroyed, but at least that monster Kagaguras work is destroyed

Hearing those voices confused Stolas as he knew those came from Toma, a finder from D-Grayman and Skurd a partner from Ben 10 "Hello? Is someone there?" He asked as his eyes fell onto the desk where the two empty lanterns were, but saw they weren't empty any more. To him they resembled Fantie when they were out of there lantern but colored diffrent. One had a brown eye and a light whitesh tan color with the sigil of the order of Excrosists on the hip the other was a light-dark green with a yellowish eye and bumps that look like antenna "We are right here owl thing, in the lantern" said Skurds voice from the green…fantie soul as Stolas Picked it up.

"Weird you sound like Skurd from Ben Ten and *Looks at the Toma soul* and you sounded like Toma from D-Grayman" said Stolas "That is our names but curious how did you know them?" Asked Toma as Stolas was surprised "So you two are really from shows I seen as a human? How? You dont belong here no scratch that, how did you get here did you both die? I mean possibly with Skurd due to going with the other slimboids and depending on there life span but Toma? I seen the anime and magna you haven't bisket bit it yet" said Stolas as Skurd puffed "I am not dead I was still working with Ben Tennyson *Gets gushed eyed* and his marvelously device *Serious* until I was teleported here by a unknown force" said Skurd "The same her *Stolas picks up Tomas lanturn* I dont think I died but something did teleport me here in this state" said Toma as Stolas hummed 'so neither one of them died but were teleported here' he pondered "To be honest all I recall is this weird puppet named Gartan who seemed nervous as he hung up this lantern somewhere and then I fell asleep" said Toma "Me to, but into a diffrent area as I fell asleep until Stella founded me, and I think a few others" said Skurd as that made Stolas curious "Others? Other souls? Any that you recognized?" Asked Stolas "None from the order, but they complained about telling there parents so in a old life they must have been rich or stating the Elite guard will come for them, Stella only oddly took us and a few that said has a destiny while the ones she said 'have no destiny' were taken by this Kagagura person" said Toma

"Do you two know him?" Asked Stolas "No, only he was a jerk and wanted to study souls to animate these puppets that look like humans, Stella argued with him to use decayed soul energy *points a stubby arm at something* like that" he said as Stolas turned and saw on the ground pale white butterflies as he placed the lanterns on the table down as he walked up "Is this decayed soul energy?" Asked Stolas "According to Stella it is, it is what souls become without a proper vessel like what me and Skurd are in they have no memories and are just energy there" said Toma as Stolas hummed and held up the soul lantern as he touched it to them as the energy was absorbed into the lantern

[Gained 35 soul energy]

"So that is how its done *Looks at the two lanterns* ok I am gonna offer something to you two, a propersition that is 100% better then staying in those lanterns as souls, I now possess the power of Soul magic and I will put you in a puppet body in exchange I need you to help me in this maze" said Stolas "That sounds like a fair propersition Sir" said Toma but Skurds eye narrows "What's the catch? Kagagura made promises to the other souls that Stella didnt choose and he abused them harshly" said Skurd "No catch, only that you follow my orders in battle or light orders outside of battle since I am a royal and need help on occasion, but other them battle commands and light help you are free to do what you want within reason" said Stolas though he questioned how can he make a puppet as a screen appeared

[Hi there its me Vizi so you want to make a puppet now that you have [Soul magic] well here is how its done (Shows another screen that shows the spirit lantern and a number which is 35)

There are two methods:

If you use soul energy collected by your soul lanturn you can take a certain amounts of soul energy to create a soul similar to the ones in the labyrinth games, certain amounts give you a stronger soul

The other method with souls that haven't decayed is that you just put them in to a puppet body, but you get to give them certain powers and skills and affect there growth and if they are naughty change there personality or seal there old selfs (Stolas: I am not gonna control them that way!) You can make them aware they cant do anything to you dont worry

Though for your little slime buddy you may want to give him a body since he has no Omnitrix to attach to so you can use that Facet notebook to give him a body, but warning same rules if you try to crate a puppet you have to give up a form from that list]

"Cheeky goddess" said Stolas "Sir are you ok you been starting at nothing?" Asked Toma "as Stolas shook his head "I am fine Toma, I'll explain once I reincarnate you *Pulls out a puppet doll and puts it on the table between the two* ok Toma I am gonna reincarnate you first *Picks up his lantern* so how do I do this? Is there a screen or something?" Asked Stolas as cue a screen over the puppet doll [Would you like to reincarnate this soul? [Toma]]

"Curious what's that?" Asked Toma "You can see it? Well I think Skurd being attached to Ben can explain it better but basically its how I am gonna give you strength in your new body, starting with not changing your personality, but I will embew you with the skills [Carryer] [Turtle strength] which is a skill that allows you to boost the stats of your comrads by a certain amount based on how many items you are carrying in a bag, while [Carrier] well means you will be a support class holding items and other equipment…which I hope you dont mind that?" Asked Stolas "I dont mind, I lack innocence in my old life and I am fine just helping out where I can as a finder" said Toma "Well I am glad because to be honest I wrote a fanfiction in my old life where I took your place holding a piece of innocence in my heart that allowed me to use magic and I was a half akuma that can become a fox, I'll explain later what I mean, but right now lets keep to what I am giving you, plus you can use the skill [Scan] since as a finder you will gain information (Toma: which is true) cool beans…and stat growth wise, you shown you were agile so dex and speed are given, but a boost in Strength small here and there to carry heavy items in bags or your transmitter if needed, and *Presses done* there, I dont know why but I feel like you can become what I written…with the right tools" said Stolas as Tomas soul from the lantern vanished as a witches sigil appeared on the forehead of the puppet.

[Toma has been reborn]

And from that Stolas Grimware floated as a new page marked in the corner by the witches sigil showing Tomas picture and information on him as well as his passive skills as the puppet vanished. "What just happened?" Asked Skurd "I think I made a puppet but lets try it out. *holds a hand out* [Soul puppet magic: Toma] he said as a magic circle appeared as floating out of it came Toma in his full body from D-grayman, with a transmitter on is back and all as he opened his eyes slowly as he took in his environment "This is *Studies his hand* unusual but I am glad to have a body" he said as Stolas grabbed his other hand to check it "How do you feel? Any thing odd?" He asked "I feel a bit stronger but I think it was that blessing you gave me and I think I can sense you a bit stronger was well and a bit of information as well" he said as he swipped a hand down as a screen appeared showing his name HP/MP and skills, but no stats or exp bar "Is this this whole gamer thing?" He asked as Stolas studied it "Its more skill based then what I have meaning you may gain a perment boost in hp or MP based on items that boost stats, which may apply to all the puppets I made but you may feed on my own mana pool *Chechs his stats* or you rely on the mana of this area, but we got something at least and Skurd its your turn but you are gonna end up becoming a human" she said picking up Skurds lantern.

"What why on earth do I need to become a human?" Asked Skurd "Because with no omnitrix to attach your self (Skurd: How do you know?) I'll explain to both of you after I reincarnate you, your power will be limited but even as a human you will still have your slimboid traits but you can use a crossbow and enfuse that with the alien DNA that is absorbed into you or use what I can call [omni-magic] which allows you to cast magic based on the omnitrix aliens…that I seen and read about on fanfiction" he said pulling out a puppet as he picked up Skurd lantern as Toma got close to watch as a screen appeared as with a free hand pulled out the facet notebook.

[You are about to reborn a non-human soul, you can use a facet face as a medium body for the non human soul, but fair warning you will have to give up that face and the soul can still return to there original form but can shape shift between a human and there original shape and have traits of there original species]

"In general Skurd you are a slime that can become human and use magic" said Stolas as he studied the facets character forms "Well choose a good looking human at least I want it to reflect how I am great" said Skurd "I think um, what is your name sir? (Stolas: Its stolas but my real name is Bella…which I will explain) ok Bella is the one who makes the final choice" he said "The Finder is right *Stops at the Mad raptor and humming chooses the male facet with long magenta hair* this fits you well but I bet traits will leak through like maybe green streaks or your eye color a bit *Presses to choose it* now for what I want when you are reincarnated, one thing for sure that will happen is that you will become a long range specialist as a Mad raptor but you will have Omni-magic which is the magical attribute to use the powers of the omnitrix aliens mixed with other magic attributes like [Transformation] and [Beat magic] for aliens that are well feral and [Slime] Magic as you are a slime class (Skurd: Excuse me) deny it you are, and can use your slimboid powers to enfuse your crossbow with the power of the omnitrix aliens but have access to Mud, Flower and fire magic albeit minor as that is apart of the Mad Raptor skill set" said Stolas as he typed made that "And stat wise *Studies Skurds soul* as a slime you can have a strong HP pool due to your slime body and in your human form as a Mad Raptor you will be agile as Toma but you will lose that in your slime body since you skuttle" said Stolas as in the eye Skurd was pouting "I dont skuttle" he said "You do, now brace yourself you are gonna feel weird" he said as he pressed accept as Skurds soul disappeared as the wishes sigil appeared on the dolls head "Was it like that with me? It was a blink and I now had a body" asked Toma "Pretty much" he said as Cue his grimware floating as a new page was added.

[Skurd the slimboid has been reborn]

"Now lets try to summon him *Holds his hand out* [Soul puppet magic: Mad Raptor Skurd]

He chanted as the magic circle appeared as It showed Skurd in his Mad raptor form as Stolas checked the facets book and sure enough the page with that character was gone absorbed into the grimware as Stolas noted the light changes like the green tips and streaks up on the bangs and two green antenna. This was Skrud as a human as the former slimboid opened his eyes showing blue eyes but there were patches of black as he looked around and saw he was at equal level with Stolas and Toma "Heheh bow to the mighty Skurd I am now…" started Skurd…but he fell down flat on his face as he wasnt use to having human legs. "That was a surprise" said Toma as Stolas shows a picture of Skurds real form in his grimware "He is just not use to walking on human legs *Grabs Skurds arm* Toma can you help me out, we have a slimboid that needs to get use to walking as a human" said Stolas as Toma grabbed the other arm "Yes sir" he said as the two helped Skurd to a seat "We are so gonna teach you how to walk as a human but first as I promise I'll explain what is going on…as we train skurd on how to walk" said Stolas.

After a while of explaining Toma and Skurd got the jist of what is going on and who Stolas/Bella was as a reborn human from reality "All of that sounds complex but then again the black cross fights Akuma and a literal devil that is the earl, so maybe this multiverse theory isn't so far fetched" said Toma "Your world is in the 1900 or mid 1800 ish so I doubt researching the multiverse was a main focus Koami-sensei would do" said Stolas "He is more focused on inventing…and making sure Leealee is safe" said Toma "Well it is defentilly believable as my partner Ben faced diffrent versions of himself (Stolas: and you guys witness the start of your multiverse) true to that so its not farfetched" said Skurd as he shook his legs to practice moving them as he sat down.

"You starting to get use to using your legs Skurd?" Asked Stolas "I am its weird to have legs as well as be human but I think I am can wallk without falling" he said getting up but Toma stayed close just in case as his sharp eyes noticed something "Weird, there is a book on your hip" he said as Stolas also noticed "It looks like a black clover grimware" he said as Skurd opened it and turned some of the pages "I guess this is the omni magic you gave me?" Asked Skurd "Apparently If I embew a puppet soldier with A magical attribute you get a black clover grimware, I will note that for the future *takes another look and finds a few boxes filled with weapons* and also for puppetry I found a weapons cache, I think Stella was trying to make her own puppet army, there are shields and swords and crossbows from Final fantasy VIl ale beat there were a few swords from the game, but there were all the crossbows for the Mad raptor and long range types and 5 Buckler and rounds shields from tales of Vesperia for Peer fortresses and three copies of Judiths dragon tooth staff for aster knights and aster crows. "And lastly these Mythical mesh for Theatrical star types this is enfused with the healing archetype, I mean you can also wear it Toma and so can I but on theatrical stars it passively boosts there bell skills and if they know healing" she said as Skurd came with a note "According to this she has several bunkers hidden in this maze where she did research and told us as explorers to take what is in there to use" said Skurd as Stolas nodded "Then we will take what we can…but first *Shows the Soul lantern* we might as well experiment and make a puppet soldier out of raw soul energy, what ever floor we are on, we need a front soldier since I doubt you alone can make it Skurd (Skurd: I have the DNA of all sorts of alien species) and are a long range specialist it will be wise to have back up…but how do I use soul energy?" Asked Stolas as a screen appeared.

[You have a little bit of soul energy that can make a small soul remember if you want to make many puppets you need to collect soul energy to reincarnate them as your puppet soldiers. To create a puppet you now have the "Puppet creation tab" in your menu to create your puppet soldier *Cue a menu screen where one can see there options like [Bellas stats] [Invatory] [Skills] [Grimware Magic skills] [Puppet craft]

Just "Say menu" when you are ready to make a puppet]

"Well boys were are getting a way to make our own soldier" said Stolas selecting the puppet craft tab as a menu appeared showing the lantern the flame glowing and a plus and minus selection saying "How many units to use" and the number 20

[This is a measure of how much Soul energy you collected, the more you collected the more souls you can create, right now you can make one soul so be sure to collect more if you want to increase your army]

"I better not rush with soul creating if I create to much then how that will help to teach so many souls" said Stolas as he pressed to make one soul as it became a "Small soul" as a new message appeared.

[Now that you had made a small soul you can go to create a puppet, remember you can only use the appearance face once, no extra clones, and you can infuse what magical attribute or growth they can have as they practiced.

However you have to be the one to give the puppet a name and back story]

"Considering un like the two of you a blank soul dosent have any backstory…well luckily I have an idea for a lot of backstories for these puppets, starting with the Aster knight as he selects the short haired purple eyed male appearance. "Here is the back story of our first knight Kirio, his voice will sound like Kirito from Sword art online and he is a astrologer in training who became a adventure to help against the battle against the demon lord endless a armored skeletal like creature with a few secrets that may not be evil. He came from the country side studying stars along with his adopted cousions twin Marginal mazes Mazken and Dorria, opposites in gender, personality and appearances but are close who became a team along with Kuro the Shinobushi and younger sister Leylen and a lesbian scythe fighter named Clover as they journey together to gather funds and help people, but face a conflict with a fellow adventure group the Dragon wolf brigade whos only 3 normal members is a tamer named Sofin, A skeleton in secret who may or may not be the demon lord, and a Magical maid male to female trans named Saph…when we make ink I have an idea for a facet" said Stolas as he got down a the name, appearance and back story, now it was time for combat.

"As a Aster knight who studies the stars his combat skills is that he can draw astrological signs that can cause a wide varity of effects, mixture of strength and speed will be the growth stats with my mental idea of how stats work (Toma: As shown by the rank letters) Pretty much Toma, they can improve but with practice and now, be born" said Stolas touching the puppet as the sigil appeared on the wooden puppets forehead.

[Kirio has been born]

Kirios voice: Lets work together to stop the monsters

Just like with Skurds apperance Kirios apperance was ripped from the facet book and dissolved into the grimware with the same Witches mark on the corner "Alright lets call him out now that we have extra help (Skurd: I bet with my Omni-magic I can take the monsters) Skurd its better to have extra help, I doubt a Supporter like Toma or a budding mage like me will be enough to pave down foes…plus looking around I didnt find any bolts which is a bad road worry though I have a few onion bombs" said Stolas as the turned the page in his grimware. "Ok here we go [Soul puppet magic [Aster knight] Kirio]" he chanted as from the magic circle summoned forward was the puppet soldier Kirio as he had his eyes closed as he opened his eyes "Hello there Stolas sir, I hope that we can work together with my team in this maze *Looks around* huh? Where is my team?" He asked worried and confused "They are spread out but don't worry you will see them soon I just need help with my co partners *Shows Toma and Skurd* Toma and Skurd, through the maze" he said as Kirio nodded "Then with the stars to help us lets work together to get through this maze" said Kirio as Stolas smiled happy at the help as he looked around "This place is stripped of items and Skurd until we find bolts you can try to practice to focus your spells via your crossbow can you do that?" Asked Stolas as Skurd weilding a hunters bow hand turned to slime as it covered it as the slime transformed to mimic Heatblasts skin as Kirio was in awe "Looks like I can its diffrent then on a human but it should work" he said as Kirio asked how he can do that.

"I am a slime that grew powerful enough to assume a human form I can…eat monsters and copy there powers" said Skurd lieing that they were aliens until they can form a bond "Better not let Leonardus know about that he studies monsters and is equal to Maxwell in magic…but he can get excitable when it comes to monsters that he sticks himself in a monsters mouth" said Kirio as Skurd and Toma looked at Stolas as he grabbed them to whisper "*Whispers* I think my over thinking leaked into his mind If I find the facet plans for a Magia maid who is Leonardus his character is he studies monsters to be a blue mage and he is excitable about monsters" he said as the duo nodded. As with that the owl demon and three…puppets left the room and saw a river of green sludge as Stolas pulled out the spider shoes

'I am getting a bad feeling if there are rivers of sludge does that mean we are on the 4th floor and close to the fairy princess domain?' Thought Stolas "Are you ok Stolas?" Asked Kirio "I'm fine just getting a bad feeling, just stay close" said Stolas

Bellas narration: I may have the metaphorical three party members in Toma, Skurd and Kirio but I still had to be careful because If we were in the forth floor and facing Domminia…play nice to the brat

Cue the exploration/training music from Bufori as the group explored and it was proven that they were in the forth floor as there were mana Yoozes which were dangerous creatures for beginners, but it was discovered they were weak vs Fire and Ice elements, but ice does double and learned that all the plant based monsters from Tos Were growing in the labyrinth but they were of a mutant varity that according to both Toma and Stolas scans had Campanula in there name, but still drop the same items as there normal counterparts and even have the same EXP and also gain soul energy similar to Mana which made stolas think they need the mana lantern to collect battle mana.

Stolas was defently happy he was getting used to battling he felt elevated and happy, as the original never got any chances to cut loose due to depression caused by Stella and his father but now…

It shows them now facing a carnivores plant, a bomb plant and several bomb seedlings (x5) however Stolas due to the training…[Flame Lance!] chanted Stolas as a large fire lance fell into the plants as they were burned to a crisp as it shows Stolas holding a hand out as he sat down panting a bit but gitty as Kiro, Skurd and Toma watched him "Someone is having fun" said Skurd as Toma pulled out a few gels to help Stolas recover some HP. "Sir are you ok?" Asked Toma "I'll live but I am just happy to really cut loose" he said as Kirio walked over "I am happy I got back the rhythm of my strike spells as well" said Kiro as during the battles he regain his Leo sign and Aquarious sign and Taurus sign to help with the plants but as the plants were easily to endure the Aquarious sign which was water his Tarus sign was able to sweep through the plants "HAHHA you will all take praise and bow to me as my omni magic combined with my new reflexes as a crossbow user is taking down the most dangerous of plants why I bet we can take care of those Ooze like creatrures now" said Skurd bragging like a psycho path "Skurd we are not pushing luck we already have been with me being low leveled and grateful that I have this druid cloak on and thanks to leveling up I got some new powers for this
Said Stolas as through battling by either using it or just having on it leveled up to Lv.3 and he gained some new skills as well as a passive skill called [Natures blessing] which gives him poison resistance and can restore HP and MP when in nature and the MP and HP equipped increased by 100 each level up meaning this was a cloak built for health and protection.

They looked around and mostly founded Mudstones (Around 30) and more mugwort balms (3 as they were rarer) and Loz Wood (10 Units) and one or two topaz but that was mostly it and even chests were rarer as Kirio tapped on the walls "Maybe we need to bust down the walls to get to rooms with good stuff" said Kirio as Stolas had to agree recalling the game that sometimes the character needed to bust the walls down to find treasure, they need to figure out how to do the same.

"Do you want a report sir?" Asked Toma "you memorized every monster we fought?" Asked Stolas "And what you collected like those mushrooms that said came from Hyrule in the wild era?" Asked Toma as Stolas recalled finding 3 of each mushroom from the breath of the wild era, which fits as it seems Campanula was a breeding ground for fungus and other plants as shown with the abundance of plant based monsters as the deeper they went.

"I did we lack paper and ink but as a finder I learned to memorize reports when needed to give to my superiors (Stolas: that is impressive Kirio: your like Max he has a crazy memory as well) thanks now here is what we fought and what items we got from each of them;

2 Campanula Torrents you got a apple gel each (Stolas: and three levels because the torrents are like they are on hard), a Campanula Marcroid and 30 Minicroids (Stolas: amazing as a mutation it had that many Minicroids as the normal ones had around 4 Skurd: that was a amazing way to show my Pyronite fire) and from the Maricoid you got a melange gel and from all those Minicroids you got a mushroom each from them (Kirio: and those corpses can you do what Suzu can do with monsters as what her adopted papa taught her? Stolas: which his? Kirio: Cook them) 5 Campanula Mangorias who after slaying you got cabbage but I think Skurd and Kirio were traumatized (Skurd: they wanted to wrong us! Kirio: and I am loyal to Sofin and Makar) and lastly those Carnivorus plant and that bomb plant and all 5 of those bomb seedling that you just killed" said Toma as Stolas checked his stats as he exhaled "And all of that I reached Lv.11 I can feel the flow of mana in me stronger and I can cast magic more often not just from having this druid robe on my body seeing that with his new increase in MP combined with the druid robes he was at 700…and as was warned it attracted monsters due to his mana as he decided to take it off, glad the Level boost was perment as he changed into being dressed as a explorer to return his mana levels to 350.

"Better we better be careful monsters are attracted to mana *Shows the soul lantern and with these fights I got around 1,000 units of soul energy which will be helpful in puppet creation and of course you Skurd *Skurd got smug* dont get smugged your spells are based on the season 1 aliens as a start it will take time for you to get the other aliens unlocked up to omniverse and Kirio I know your comrads will come alright?" Said Stolas as Kirio smiled at the prospects "Now come on we better go deeper though I wonder how close we are to Dominia?' Thought Stolas as they continued the monster fights lessened as Stolas didnt have to much mana as he on occasion had to use the Spider boots to walk across sludge as he learned a new trick with the puppet magic as he can communicate with telepathy when they are in the book as they came to a area that looked like a ruin as the group looked around "Weird this looks empty?" Said Kirio which was true but they heard voices about humans making deals with faries and how Dormina is a coward but was strong and Dorrama is very mature but very mysterious. "Who is Dorrama? I never seen her in the game walkthroughs" said Stolas as they continued to forward to a area that could be where the two faries were…but Stolas eyes caught on something hung on a house and it was a lantern that was similar to the one Skurd and Toma were in…complete with a soul "Guys check this out" said Stolas as they walked up to the lantern.

Its eye was closed and there was a noise of soft sleeping and it was colored a bright yellow "Is this a soul like Toma and Skurd" muttered Stolas which Toma and Skurd heard as Stolas took it "Hay are you awake?" Asked Stolas as the soul opened its one eye and looked around "Ugg who woke me up from my beauty rest" said as snobby tone that Stolas recognized from Chloe from Miraculus "So you had either died or spontaneously got taken down here Chloe?" Asked Stolas with a deadpan confusing the other three puppets "Hay how do you know my name? Your not Stella or that weirdo fairy Dorrama who mutters alot? Who are you? And where am I? Did Dorrama put you up to this?" She demanded

"In order I know your name from a cartoon with you as a anotistic brat (Chloe; Ugh), and no I am not Stella or this Dorrama person, my name is Stolas but my real name is Bella and you are in some kind of ruin and no Dorrama didnt put me up to this I dont even know who she is" said Stolas as Chloes eye showed she was glaring suspicious but felt no choice as she is a spirit "Fine you are not Stella or Dorrama but what are you doing with my lantern and where is Dorrama I want to yell at her for leaving me for who know how long (Toma: you dont recal how long you were asleep?) Ugh no, its on and off I slept and just heard voices of these faries just complain about Dormina ugh dont blame them the few times I seen her she was just redicously stupid" she said with a scoff as Stolas hummed.

"With that you are now gonna be part of my army (Chloe: What army?) a army of fighters and you are gonna fight no complaints you are gonna get your hands dirty (Chloe: I am a bergouise I am not gonna fight for some…Bird thing…) I am a royal bird thing and one of the thing I am gonna do is clean you up of your moms brainwashing, only good thing about soul magic is I can reprogram if necessary…and this is gonna be rare you two understand that" said Stolas to Toma and Skurd as Kirio was curious as the two nodded as Chloe was confused as Stolas pulled out a wooden puppet "Now the only change is that you will follow my orders while still being a sass master and you will be more open to growth change and less insulting except to your foes. You will be weak on Physical strength because I never seen you punch anyone, low in int (Chloe: hay!) You never studied so you are gonna get your butt when needed to study later, but Agil because you are good at avoiding attacks, and magic skill wise as to show your connection with the be Miraculus you will know poison magic and since I was working on a idea for a Miraculus ghost wire cross over you will have spirit magic akin to the spirit weaving arts used in the game and if I am finding cartoon souls and I find Ryotaro…you can have the Same synch with the Imagin partnered to Ryotaro and also Negataros and Deneb with what I call Spirit intigration magic (Chloe: Hold up what are you talking about all of this is rediclous!) Nope we are removing brainwashing now one more thing If I use authority you will obey me and disbeyance you will get shocked like a shock collar if I will it now be reborn" she said pressing accept as Chloes soul disappeared from the lantern as the witches mark appeared on the forehead.

[Chloe Beroguise has been reborn]

"Do we really need someone like here if she is gonna be a brat?" Asked Skurd "Skurd she was brainwashed by her mom all she needs is tough love and TLC and she will be at least a decent person, now [Soul puppet magic Chloe (Miraculus)]

In a magic circle Chloe appeared dressed in her usual outfit and she flipped yelled at Stolas for the idea of forcing her to fight as he had a … face "Rome wasnt built in a day but I wrote redeeming characters before I died I can do it here" he said. Minutes later the group were walking through a ruin hallway to according to Chloe (After using the Authority command) to honestly tell them where the fairy princess is "So what do you know about Dormina?" Asked Kirio "Ugh, nearly everything about her thanks to Dorrama her older sister, she is the spoiled younger sister of the fairy king and I only seen her once or twice when Dorrama took my lantern and she complains alot about her and I heard it from the other citizens I cant see them about them at how she is powerful but a big coward and listens to that bird Darrio that Dorrama tries to get him to scram as she thinks that Darrio is a bad influence" said Chloe "My main worried if she is a coward she may attack us and we are not ready, I am Level 11 and my mid spell Flame lance is strong but Dormina is strong dispite being a timid brat and Skurd just knows 10 alien form spells and you just started your magic training the same with Kirio" said Stolas having explain his gamer power and what each of them can do "Plus I dont have the right bag equipment to trigger my passive Turtle power to give a boost against this…fairy? Um sir how big is Dormina?" Asked Toma "In the game it didnt show but in reality she must be big (Chloe: she is and her older sister is about the size of a kid) I can imagine what her father looks like she must be huge" said Stolas as they came to a open room with a pool of green water with a grated opening as Stolas looked around "Is this where Dormina is?" Asked Stolas "when Dorrama on the rare occasion took me it is, just call her name in that pool and she will come" said Chloe as the owl bird studied the pool and walked over "Guys stay back Skurd keep a arm on Chloe if she tries to run" said Stolas as Skurd did as the puppets stepped back.

"Um Dormina? I would like to talk to princess Dormina" he asked politely as it was quiet for a minute…then suddenly the water shifted as from the water a large figure appeared, she was huge and looked like she was sitting down with a Maine of green vine like hair with tree like pigtails and green nails covered in vines as through her vines were green eyes as her face was in the water with her hands on her knees "Hiiii, ooooh cute birdy, birdy and little Mani mani aww soo cute why is birdy wanting to visit Dormina?" She said in a voice similar to a cutie version of Diane (Seven deadly sins) as Stolas had a 'meep' face the same with Skurd, Toma, Kiro and Chloe (as she is getting the sheerness of Dorminas size) "Da I-I-i-I just want to meet the great Dormina and your looks are re-re ally impressive 'please dont stand up I think you are either naked or just cant understand your strength' thought Stolas as he was not ready to face Dormina…maybe when he at lv.50 and had more Arts under his belt and more puppet partners. Dormina with no mind reading powers just seem to be gitty as she shook "aww cute birdy is so cute so flattering" she said "Dont you dare fall for such flattery Lady Dormina he could be a sharlation" said a voice that belonged to Zazu from lion king as on her head was a pink bird "Oooh Dario why must you be so mean?" Asked Dormina " I am not mean the same with my employer Stolas, we just want some help to find treasures" said Kirio "He is right, and also to ask questions do you know of a human name Stella?" Asked Stolas as Dormina seem to pout.

" was so mean at times, meanie she yelled at Dormina and always talked to big sis Dorrama meanie why dont she talk to me…eeek are you gonna be mean to Dormina?" She asked as Chloe wanted to snark but Toma and Skurd covered her mouth as Stolas waved his hands "No-no-no we are not gonna be mean, we just want to meet you and ask you have any special items like a mana lantern and a way to make a map through this maze?" Asked Stolas "See they always want something before they beat you senseless like bullies" said Dorito as Dormina shuttered as she seem to get angery "Really meanies all of you meanies" she said as she shifted as if she was on the attack as Stolas waved his hands panicking "WAIT WAIT WAIT! Its not that I am not gonna hurt you I just need information!" He yelled as Dormina was about to have a temper tantrum.

Voice that sounds like Vaggie (Hazbin hotel): honestly Dorido are you gonna keep manipulating sis like that and Dormina learn how to think for yourself, he is a idiot but impressive at his budding army and hummm…

With that a figure walked up to Stolas and his puppet army. Chloe wasnt lying that she was as big as a kid, she had light yellow-pale skin, green leggings and blue slippers with red gems and wearing a outfit made of orange leave and teal eyes and black hair tied with a pink band and a pink flower on the side. In her hands was a lantern with a green flame "Humm, rare to see someone with soul magic, but it has to be a demon to be the inheritor of soul magic" she said as she got up to Stolas and looked up an down at him humming and then at his puppets as her eyes narrowed.

"You can control Magi magi puppets and without a coven or facet you must have grand potential, and pardon my manners, my name is Dorrama, I am the older sister of this brat (Dormina: Meanie) shut up! It is true dont go picking fights as suggested by that stupid bird *Looks at Stolas* what is your name?" She asked as Stolas winced "Uh Stolas, my name is Stolas and *guestures to his team* these are my puppets, Tomma, Skurd, Chloe, and Kirio" she said as Dorrama walked up to Chloe, Skurd and Toma as the three flinched worried at the faries glare "I see *Looks at Stolas who flinches* what do you want?" She demanded "I was just looking for a mana lantern or a magic map to get through this maze but maybe I need to look by slamming the walls" she said as the fairy took Stolas arm "Dont *Gives him the lanturn* take this and go home *Points to the grated opening* never come back and never take any of the lanterns with blobs in them or else" she said sternly as Stolas quickly pushed Kirio, Skurd, Toma and Chloe animated style "we will! We will! We promise!" He yelled as they went through the hole as Dorrama sighed.

"That human is gonna be an annoyance since she seems to be the type to disobey orders" she muttered 'Stella predicted that a female human soul from beyond the borders reborn in the body of a male royal owl demon and with her comes another female born in the body of a imp male *Looks at Dormina as she yelled at her to go back to the river to talk to father as the giant did as she sighed* Things are gonna become annoying and I am not in the mood to deal with Garken and his avatar if that girl takes any more souls that Stella selected" she muttered as she walked out "I already have to deal with that twerp Alastor and Vox and I swear that that Zetsiel is more demon then human *Covers in a glowing aura as you didnt see what she became…but there was a flick of a long tail with a spade* well with all those annoynces, hell does have some useful benifits" she said with a chuckle.

Back with Stolas after getting a good distance away Stolas panted sighed "Chloe question was she always like that?" Asked Stolas "I haven't gotten the chance to see it since it was just brief, but she always was like that she can be calm…but intimdidating ugg, I get a body and I want to give her a piece of my mind for caring me around" said Chloe with a huff "She was defently terrifying sounding, I hope we can be ready to face her when we grow stronger" said Kirio "Trust me Ki, we will face her and Dormina…after a long time battling monsters and growing stronger and getting a good team together" said Stolas not wanting to fight against either one, but mark his words he will "Hay Sir there seems to be a path over the sludge and…um why is there a wardrobe?" Asked Toma as the group saw it was a wardrobe that was golden with the doors that were red and black and blue as Stolas eyes widened as he ran over as the others followed "Hay are you ok?" Asked Skurd as Stolas nodded "I am this is a antechamber, it can take us to the next level of this labyrinth…or return us to the surface…we better return to the surface I can show you Hell (Chloe: Hell? I thought you live in the clouds) no I am a demon a owl demon with a reborn human and I live in hell…though Toma, Chloe Kirio you may need to stay in the grimware and Skurd you can become your slime form and pretend to be my pet, but I want to show you guys the garden first then have you hid in the grimware.

"Very well, though I got use to being a human" said Skurd as he turned green and then melted into what looks like his Slimboid form…but his size "Ewwww, that is what you really look like dont you dare touch me" said Chloe running behind Toma "Woah you are as big as Sofins pet slime Lymmy" said Kirio which was true Skurd was as big as Rimaru as Stolas picked him up "Woah I guess all this mana is giving you quite a size" he said as Skurd mimicked rubbing a chin "Give me the chance and I bet I can eat monsters as well if I recall that anime ben showed me (Stolas: that time I was reincarnated as a slime?) That was the name and it irked me" said Skurd annoyed eyed as Toma got curious and poked him "Eww why you touched it?" Asked Chloe "Mostly curious I never seen Skurd in this shape before" he said "Well you have machines made of Anti-matter and soul but creatures like Skurd are non existent in your time so its fair" said Stolas as Kirio touched Skurd as Skurd waved a tentacle "Its really cool I never knew slimes can evolve to the point to become human.

"Ki slimes are very very versitial as a species, now come on into the Antechamber and see where we can go next but take a quick stop to hell" said Stolas as he opened the antechamber as the group stepped in. Once in Stolas was amazed by the interior it reminded him of the antechamber in Labyrinth of refrain but above…there seem to be doors and on the pew was a book with a orb flying over it and on one side there was a red wood and black door with a pentagram symbol on top. Though something odd happened as soon as they stepped in, the door closed behind them and some sort of spectral hand took it and carried it up to the other doors above "What was that?" Asked Chloe confused as Toma, using his deducing skills as a finder pieced it together.

"It looks like some sort of mechanism summons some sort of door portals for us to go through *Points to the weird orb* though what does this orb do?" Asked Toma as Stolas touched it as a screen appeared as he saw Campulas name…and the world of Gnomes "Apparently open the path to the next layer and it stacks I bet as we find other anti-chambers for this to record and the door *walks up to the door with the pentagram* takes us back to my home, which before we dive again lets take a quick break I need to take care of something and also I want to show you guys around hell…and make sure there is time distillation I dont need a row from my so called family" said Stolas as he opened the door and guestured for the others to follow him through.

Bellas Narration: I never would had thought that I would find something similar to the labyrinth of refrain and gain the power to make puppets and use soul magic, but unlike the first user of soul magic in Black clover, I will use it responsibly

But also finding cartoon souls…I am worried about what other secrets the labyrinth is hiding, I know what Dorrama said to not return to that layer…well I think there is more to find in that maze then what she is trying to hide…I just need to figure out how to punch walls…

But first I have a story world to create and keep track of…

[End Credits

Toi Sakebi

It shows Blitzo and Stolas in a large bed naked under a cover as the are close together there hands holding in a embrace as there eyes were closed as if asleep as they seem to be dreaming.

I thought I was innocent but I'm being punished

I didnt start this but I have to finish somehow

It then zoomed out as if showing the mysterious room the two in there bed as it seems to be similar to stolas or of Blitzos home as flowers and stars seem to grow everywhere.

I cant say I didnt know about it but I dont remember taking part in it

I get the feeling my freedom cost me dearly

But I dont remember selling my soul cheaply

You can then see there were a gallery of mirrors showing scenes that happen in helluva boss and Hazbin hotel at diffrent points as it seemed to be the cannon verse.

Hey hey

Until I die and say goodbye…

Hey hey

…no one will ever reach me

Yet probably dont know the eternal outlaws

Who wonder in the distant night.

It then seem to zoom out to show the full detail as the sleeping imp and owl dream mysterious dreams that seem to interconnect.

Authors note: This chapter maybe my best one yet and now Stolas can use soul magic like Lucius Zogratis, but on a scale to give commands or to give a soul a magic attribute that fits them, or repress any negative traits like she did with Chloe (Though she will still be aware) or give Skurd the power to become a human.

And with the items collected Stolas will be ready with his normal wooden puppet brigade and also, has Maple (Boufuri) luck and now a way to collect Mana, what can he use it for? He will learn later down the line as he gets alot…and monsters attack him as they are attracted to powerful mana forces.

Next chapter its Blitzos turn and after deciding to do a day of busking and singing to raise souls the 16 year old feels he is being followed by a odd Vending machine that seems to have a strange resonance within it…
