"This World is my new home," I speak softly

This world where I am alone... This world where I am not a slave to people stronger than me. In this world I want to be happy and live a life of my own. I may be losing my emotions, but grief is still a strife to my being. In the past day, I've experienced more joy then i have in the past 3 years. So I want to continue to live so I may be happy.

!Ding! Conditions have been met

!! You are now able to give a command word to the skill Soul Weaver.

"A command word?" I question the voice.

"What does a command word mean?"

!! Allows the user to choose a word that will make it simple to call forth souls.

"Oh, is that all?" I sigh

I thought it was going to be something cool! Ok, what to choose then... Rise? Come forth? Come? 

"Ugh, why is this so hard?!"

I started to think deeply about the things I love. I look around my surroundings and notice that growing out of the ground next to the corpse of the wolf are purple flowers. Purple has always been my favorite color, and in my past life, iris's were my favorite. I've decided what my command word will be.

"Bloom"

I say that word with my heart: I will have these soul's blossom into beautiful purple servants that will live and die for me.

!Ding! The command word has been chosen.

!! The command word is now "Bloom." 

"Bloom," I say out loud.

In front of me, like a flower, the souls of my slayed enemies blossomed and appeared in front of me; the purple they emit was beautiful. I look up to the sky and tears roll down my cheeks. Tears of happiness, the memories of my past life, every time I saw the colour purple. It made me so happy. Now as I look in front of me, I see flowers of my own, ones that I have to nurture, ones that I have to grow. I look at my hands and see that I need nurturing as well. As I wipe the tears away, I begin to smile. 

"time to hunt"

 They dash off and look for some monsters to slay. I look back to the sky and raise my hand to the moon; this world is mine, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. I walk deeper into the forest and look for my own prey.

Throughout the night, me and my flowers hunted tons of monsters. I personally found a few more of those wolves and practiced using my skills. I found out that my demon eye is probably my most useful skill; for actually killing the beast, I tended to use either my tail or claws. My tail was better for mobility and speed as well as surprise attacks, and I've been surprisingly adaptable; even though I only got this body yesterday, I can use my tail very efficiently. My claws worked really well when it came to pure raw strength. They work well together. Demon Fear worked great for making the beast submit to me due to the buildup of fear. Speed and Strengthen are like peas in a pod, boosting both of there applied stats. All my skills are useful, and I can't wait to grow my collection

I ended up killing 5 of those wolves, but after each kill, the stat absorption lessened. So that stinks. I thought I would be able to grind out stats, but I guess not. In total, I gained 4 to strength, 3 to vitality, 4 agility, 2 dexterity, 1 intelligence, and 1 sense.

there, that's all my points, I've been having my flowers hunt this entire time, and I still have not leveled up. It seems like the basic monsters in this forest are not cutting it anymore. I need to go for something bigger. I start focusing on trying to find that one presence. It is not hard to find; that beast is not evening trying to hide its presence.

"It's terrifying," I mutter under my breath, my hands slightly shaking.

I now have 6 wolves, the man and the cow. I feel like with our numbers we can take down this beast. Even if it's to dangerous, I have not come across a monster that is able to damage my flowers spiritual bodies. As I take a step towards the presence, I call back all my flowers and begin to head towards that monster.

"There it is," I think to myself

I am hidden behind a bush with my Conceal active. I hope my horns aren't poking through. The monster that is leaking that menacing presence is standing only 20 meters away from me. This beast is like nothing I've seen before. It resembles a bear, and it must be at least 3 in a half meters long. It has to weigh at least a ton as well. Its fur is as black as night, and it has jagged rocks sticking out all over its body. This bear is surrounded by at least a dozen of those wolves I faced before and 2 big brown bears with small stones sticking out of them.

"Tainted Wolves" Level: 3-5

"Rock Bear" Level: 6

"Rock Bear" Level: 8

"Tainted Rock Bear" Level: ???

"Thanks, Inspect" I say quietly. My Flowers can deal with the lower-level monsters; the rock bears are scary but I think we can take them. The big one though, it must be at least level 10. I'm going to have to be careful; this may be dangerous.

"Bloom," I say as I breathe out and try to relax myself. 

My flowers form around me and take a battle stance. I look at each of them and take in the situation. The beasts sense my little squad and start growling. I take a step forward and stand at the center of the standoff. I flick my hand forward, signing for my souls to attack. 

"Go!" I say to my flowers

They run past me to engage with the beasts; the wolves get teared apart due to the lack of the ability to harm my flowers. On the other hand, the Stone Bears had something up there sleeves; they were using some sort of magic. Stones emerged from the ground and pierced my minions from below. My flowers survived, but it was eating away at my mana.

"Damn it, they can't get close!" I shouted.

My flowers were dying and being revived left and right. My mana had dropped down to half and if it continued like this, the battle would end in my death. 

"I don't want to die," I yelled at the monsters as I recalled my flowers. 

I Charged at the Stone Bears as I activated my Demon Eye. I see where the stones will protrude and take steps to avoid those spots. I run at the first bear while avoiding all the attacks in front of me. These Stone Bears are not higher level than me, so the effects of Blessing of Despair is taking effect. 

"Your trembling," I laugh at the bears.

As more spikes try to impale me, I activate Demon's fear. The effects of the skill take effect almost instantly; I can notice the decrease in speed, and the jagged rocks feel less threating. 

"Speed!"

"Strengthen!"

"Claw Strike!"

I charge forward and slash at the first bear with my claws, I expected my claws to cut through the weakened bear, but that's not what happened. The bear I slashed at flinched but it's companion was still in the fight. I was already mid-swing and couldn't stop the momentum. My claws struck a stone spike that appeared out of the ground; the spike was weak but stopped my claw. As my claw bounced off the spike, I lost balance and was unguarded.

"Shit!" I screamed

The bear that I was swinging at took advantage of the situation and slashed at me. I was not able to dodge and took a direct hit to my stomach. I felt as if I got hit by a truck, the strength of the swing sending me through the air. I hit a tree, breaking it in half, landing on my back.

"Ah,!" I screamed as the pain overwhelmed me.

I held my gut as the deep cuts leaked a constant flow of warm, dark red blood. It hurt to breathe, and my vision was going black. I tried to stand, but I coughed blood and fell to one knee. I kept coughing and struggled to get air to my lungs.

Health 200/750

Mana 600/1500

The bears looked at me, the fear in their hearts lessening. I stared back with no fear of my own and smiled a small grin. I tried to stand again while holding my gut wound. Blood was still dripping from the side of my mouth. I ran at the same bear as before, using the same tactics. I felt slower, but I could already feel my wounds starting to heal. 

"Your going to die!" I yell

I reached the blind spot of the bear and swung my claws again. The other bear once again creates a spike to block them, and as my claws collide with the spike, my tail comes around from behind. The look of fear on the bear's face makes me smile in delight. 

"Is it wrong that its fear make me happy?" I question myself, Am I really the same 15-year-old girl? Have I already lost that much of myself...

As my mind drifted, my tail sliced through the bears neck, cleaving it's way to the other side. I could feel the muscles ripping and its internals roasting due to the hellfire. The bear squealed in pain and then went silent; its head fell to the ground, not a drop of blood flowing from its wound. The flames had already sealed it shut the instant they made contact. 

"It's dead," I say.

I look at the head of the creature and begin to laugh—a hysterical laugh, I glance at the other bear; it was trembling. I had just killed its comrade and it still stands strong. 

"Why won't you run?" I said to the bear. 

The bear didn't reply, only letting out a small growl. After admiring my kill, I lunged at the other bear, and without any support, it stood no chance. 

!Ding! Level Up

!Ding! Level Up

I glared at the level 8 Stone Bears body and smirked at how weak it was. I will not be looked down on again, I won't be weak; I will be the strong one in this life. I turn and face my last opponent.

"One more"
