Saviour
It's time to get up, I thought gently removing her hand from my chest.
"Up already?" she murmured in her sleepy voice.
"Yes." I whispered, kissing her.
"Someone's happy today." She said sliding out of the bed, and tying her jet black hair in a neat ponytail. "You know staring at a naked lady is a rude thing to do, so stop smiling and pass me my gown already!"
"It would be a shame to cover-up your beauty." I smirked.
"You didn't say so back in the cave, remember? The day we met, and you freed me."
How can I forget, after all I met her on that fateful day. The woman who was the reason that I'm breathing now, who knows what would've happened if she hadn't arrive in time.
I had defeated a God, but at a great cost. The power of the demon king, Xorzorud, came with a curse. The curse of the Underworld, at least that's what Nicholas said. As soon as the traces of Xorzorud faded away, my heart started to burn like it was thrown in a volcano but soon the sensation started to spread and my entire body was flaming. I dropped on my knees and started scratching myself rigorously. I tried summoning Arabella, thinking maybe some spell of hers could help me but she wasn't resurrected yet. I tried using God's Grace but even it didn't had any effect. I was rolling on the ground, blood was spurting from my eyes, mouth, ears, everywhere. The pain was too much, I was wishing someone to kill me if it meant the pain would go away. It was then I saw her for the first time. She was in shackles, wearing a white piece of cloth which barely covered her body. She came to me and started chanting some kind of spell, I couldn't hear what she was saying but I thought she was the one causing me such pain, and started swinging my still demonized claws at her, making several cuts on her right cheek, her abdomen, her back, her chest everywhere. But she kept chanting, and surprisingly the pain started to fade away, as I lost conciseness.
I woke up on some kind of bed, and the woman who healed me, was laying beside me. The wounds, that I inflicted on her, had stopped bleeding but there were countless scars on her body. I wanted to leave quietly without disturbing her, but she woke up as I was preparing to leave. She stopped me from leaving saying its dangerous outside and that I still wasn't fully healed. She was adamant and I had to give up. She got up and we started to talk. She then proceeded to tell me that she was a High Ogre Priestess named, Ashira.
I was shocked, not because she was a High Ogre Priestess, but because that she said she was an Ogre. She looked completely normal, she didn't had the bluish green skin like the Ogres do, no claws either. She looked nothing like an Ogre. But then she lifted a part of her hair to unveil a tiny horn extending from her forehead. She then told me that she was kidnapped from the village the Ogres had and was forced to summon their God, Vruukor, so that the kidnappers could overthrow their Head chieftain, who wanted to make peace with the humans, and that by killing her kidnappers, I had freed her from them. Tears started flowing down her face, as she recalled how much they had tortured her, when she refused to help them. It felt awkward, so I tried to console her... to which she hugged me tightly and started crying on my shoulder. I gently caressed her head, saying I'm grateful that she saved me and I that owed my life to her. She backed away from the hug, and looked at me, her ocean blue eyes still filled with tears she leaned in towards my lips. It felt conflicting but something in me wanted it to happen, so I leaned in as well. Soon both of us started taking each other's clothes off. while we were still kissing, I gently laid her down on her back, her scars clearly visible to me now. She looked at me caressing my cheek, and the next thing I know, we ended up making love.
We spent a couple of weeks in the cave, and Ashira taught me how to cook monster meat and that Ogres, even after mutating, had retained their memories of the time they spent as human beings, and thus never attacked any human. She also told me that Ogres unlike other monsters, only converse in the language which humans use. All this time she kept trying to find a way to revert my 'demonized' right arm back to normal. Soon The Chieftain of Ogres found us in the cave and brought us back to their village, the place looked nothing less than a kingdom. The Ogres upon seeing that I had Vruukor's crown and sword, immediately hailed me as their God and since Ashira was the one accompanying me, she was hailed as their Goddess. The chieftain emptied his position and I was crowned their king. Heading about this, soon the chieftains from other villages, some werewolves and some goblins also joined in, and thus I built a new kingdom, a kingdom, I ruled over. This all happened three months ago.
"Zeroll! Are you listening?" Ashira turned to face me she was dressed in her gown, her hands on her waist. "You've been spacing out a lot nowadays. You have a meeting with the Chieftains I'm an hour so you better get ready now. I'll go and arrange some breakfast for you."
"OK thanks." I nodded as she left the room. "Nicholas, show me my status."

We all shot up many levels after defeating Vruukor, but those summons were still locked.
I closed the tab and walked out of the room.
