Chapter 11: A Relationship and The Fight Begins.
U-Uh... What do you mean?" Manus says slightly, "Don't try to hide it, what did you do?"
...
"I... Mayofkissedyou!" Jeanne looks at her for a moment, "you... what...?" she didn't hear her properly.
"I kissed you, okay!?" Manus turned away while her face looked completely red, Jeanne didn't know what to say.
...
"Wait, isn't there a body double of me in the void, what did you do with it?" She was concerned now.
"Wha-oh! no, no no no! I didn't anything like that... just, namely... sleeping with you..."
...
"I need a moment to process this..." Jeanne walks to the stairs of the castle and sit down, "It is at time's like these, where I wish I had an intelligence stat to help me think about stuff like this faster..." she stands up.
"Alright, let's see if I've got this straight as simple as I can, You like me?" Manus nods.
"You, A Goddess, wants to be with me...?" another nod.
"Why...?" Manus sighs slightly before speaking.
"It's just... You're the only friend I've had since I've been in the Void for my entire existence... You're the only person to talk, laugh and have fun with me... You're the only person these kind of feelings I have can go too..." Jeanne didn't speak, wanting her to let it all out.
"I... It was just so lonely in the void, I was scared... Scared I'd never meet anyone... Scared I'd be alone for all of time... when you appeared I was so happy, I thought I finally had a friend, but when I checked you were a soul that was being Reincarnated, so when you suggested the ability to travel back, I was so happy..."
Manu was openly crying now, Jeanne walks over and hugs her, "J-Jeanne?" there was a slight crack in her voice.
"Manus, nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever stop me from being there for you... I want you to know that... You are the greatest friend I could ever ask for." Manus seems sad, before Jeanne continued.
"And... I think I feel the same way..." a moment later Manus was hugging the life out of Jeanne in joy.
"Manus... HP dropping..." Manus quickly lets go and make sure she is fine.
"Now, I said think... Due to The Gamer my emotions are dulled, so I can't quite tell what emotion this is, but I'm willing to try at least, if not for my emotions... Then for you." Jeanne smiles at her, Manus lightly hugged her this time, before the two went into the Black Castle.
She had two weeks to train for possibly the fight of her life, and to be honest it excited her.
She set up a schedule, since now she was - kinda - in a relationship, she had to make sure to set time to spend time with Manus.
Her normal schedule she'd have five days of training, which she would put three to four hours a day to spending time with Manus, and on weekends she'd spend the whole day with Manus.
This pushed her to level 125, earning her two perk, 300 stat points, upping her Magic circuits by a rank, and upping her stats by 50 points for all them by training (minus LUK).
Those two perk points she spent on getting a new trait, one she thought was rather fitting for the moment, a trait called [Black Queen].
Other then putting those stat points in, she didn't do much else.
But having A Rank Agility will be rather useful in the upcoming battle.

(A/N: I am just realising I've been messing up the Max HP for the last few chapters or all of them, it'll be fixed from now on, my bad.)
Her stats were pretty good all things considered, although her skills are the most helpful, resistant to fire and lightning completely and only take a tenth of physical damage was pretty good.
She sighs before she sits up in her bed, which she shared with Manus, Jeanne looks out the window, she would have to go to war today, she already knew the time, she had three hours now...
She looked through all the items in her inventory and came across one that seemed to be of interest compared to the last time.

- Grants [Abomination] Trait

"Hmm... Possible power up...?" she muses for abit before shrugging and downing the orb.

"Gh!?" she falls to the ground and covers her mouth as to not scream and wake Manus up.
- 2,500 HP
"!" She didn't make a sound that time, but she felt her organs failing her.
- 2,500 HP
Her skin began to crawl.
- 2,500 HP
- 2,500 HP

Huh...?
She looks up to see a notification.
[Abomination] advanced to [Humanoid Eldritch Being]

Passives: Mortals who gazes upon your Eldritch form will die from your very existence.
Ah... So it worked... Manus is gonna chew her out for that... One more hit of damage and she would of died.
She gets up and stretches for a moment before feeling something in her back move, she decides to take her shirt off and two dragon wings shoot out of her back, she tries willing them to contract and they go back in.
"Huh... Partial transformation..." she puts the shirt back on decides to play with her ability for a few moments, no new skills, just some messing around, she found out she can make tentacles... which was... useful... for reasons...
She coughs slightly before returning herself to normal, she could probably qualify for Servant Berserker, so she'll have to use it at least partially so it's apart of her legend when she dies.
She sighs before checking the time, it was time to start The Black Castle Event.
She snaps her fingers and a creature of pure void energy appears, "Rally the troops, they are too arrive soon, make sure not to kill too many, I want some to make it to my throne room, I shall await them there." the creature nods before sinking into the ground, she equips her armour and goes to the throne and sits and wait, Manus had decided to join her, but would leave before they arrive to the room.
They watch an army come to their door and break in, killing the creatures of Void within, one of them had yelled out 'Where are you coward?' so she decided to respond.
"If you make it to my Throne, I shall fight all who come, think of these creatures as... Trials before facing me." she told them through her connection with the Castle, she then watched and waited, there was a certain group that she hoped wouldn't make it too her.
"Leon..." they dare bring children into this!? she would make them pay dearly!
Manus leaves and Jeanne closes the panels and stares at the door.
After a few moments it opens and a bunch of armed men run in, they look around and spot her, they take aim and awaited orders.
A man walks in, he had white hair and red eyes, along with some anime like main character armour.
"So, we finally meet face to face Darkness, or should I say 'Jeanne'?" She doesn't flinch, she knew they would know her identity with Leon with them, she simply stares at them impassively.
The man continued onwards, "It was tough, but we figured you out, and we know how to take you down." this intrigued her, she wondered how they could possibly take her down, so she decides to voice it.
"And what possible method do you have to beating me?" in walked Leon, who looked conflicted.
She looked at them for a moment.
...
"You're kidding me, right?" she sighs before standing up and walking down the stairs from her throne, they aim their weapons at her as she walks down, "You plan to send a child to kill me...?" she stops at the bottom of the stairs and her head armour fades in a black mist, her eyes black and her skin pale and cracked, shocking those who see it.
"If you think it's because he is my friend, trust me when I say that it will not save him if he fights me... I gave a clear warning, if he came to kill me then he wont be treated any different then you." her expression was dull but showed a mix of annoyance and amusement.
"Tch, Men! ATTACK!" they open fire on her but she just most from side to side to dodge the bullets, they look at her in shock before an ability user sends a blast of fire towards her, she raises her left hand to block it and it nullifies, before they could react she raises her right hand at the person who launched that fire at her and sends a spear of fire into his skull.
She lowers her arms while people freak out, she gets an idea before grinning.
"Tell me... Do you want to see the world... I ended up in due to my own hatred...?" her eyes glows yellow while her hair turns a pale blonde.
"I am the bone of my sword." her voice echoed through the whole room, and a mass of blue magic forms and spins around her.
"Steel is my body and fire is my blood." the wind generated from her mana begins to push back a few men.
"I have created over a thousand weapons." nameless swords appear around her while stabbed into the ground.
"Unaware to the pain." the magic around her burst slightly, knocking people off balance.
"Nor aware to victory." Magic spirals upwards and seems to form a tornado.
"Went through darkness to forge many weapons." the magic turns black and seems to have red sparks of lightning.
"My life is regret, my hate is all that's left." the ground begins to crack while they try to shoot her to stop what she was doing, but the wind threw their aim off too much, she raises her hand towards them.
"So as I stand alone, Unlimited Blade Works!" she lowers her hand to the ground and it cracks with fire before a blinding white light blinds every.
They have entered the Unlimited Blade Works...
Next time on Fate of a Gamer
"What... part of this... is PEACE!?"
"This world is ruled by hatred..."
"Take this, end it here... But you will live with the knowledge only you survived this fight... congratulations... you're a survivor."
