My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 642 - Vheslias Story

-----

Using Vheslia's mental imagery, Frank was able to teleport a few meters away from Vheslia's parents house in a mere instant, making the travel very quick and easy! In an instant they were already there! How convenient!

The first thing that greeted everyone's sight was the village of demons where Vheslia lived. The entire surrounding area wasn't a beautiful grassland like in the Abraddon Nation, the Demon Nation had varied environments, but the majority were desertic or rocky areas high in the mountains.

And everyone here was precisely in such a place, the surrounding area of the village was all made of brown rocks, and there were many rocky mountains surrounding the entire valley.

There was a black forest to the west of the village, which emanated an eerie dark aura… and Frank could clearly feel a lot of monsters lurking there.

"S-So this is the Demon Nation's outskirts…" said Gwendolyn.

"Yes, this is where I was raised…" said Vheslia, her expression was filled with nostalgia.

"Its… Erm, a beautiful place! Yeah." Said Cathyl.

"You don't have to lie; it is not the prettiest of places but its my humble beginnings." Said Vheslia.

"I can already tell it is quite the humble beginnings…" said Orb.

"Ooh! Pretty! I like the dark forest, it's filled with monsters! Are the demons strong to handle them naturally?" asked Axitl.

"Yeah, our clan is not named the Majin Demon Clan for nothing, we are naturally good at magic, so most of the villagers can conjure offensive magic and just kill any monster that tries to get into the village, eventually they stopped coming to attack us years ago when they learned we are strong." said Vheslia pridefully.

"I see… Though, come to think of it, isn't the village quite desertic?" asked Axitl.

"There is… barely any people, yeah." Said Clishya.

"Why? Are they on vacations?" wondered Hilvera.

"Vacations? There are no such a thing, Hilvera… that's a Earth concept!" said Asterion.

"No, our tribe people like to spend the day inside and usually come outside at night, we are livelier at night because it is where we feel with the most energy, typical demon stuff." Said Vheslia.

"So you're like Vampires?" asked Frank.

"Ah! Well? I guess?" asked Vheslia, realizing the mirroring with Vampires, demons might be a bit similar in that regard.

"This is certainly a change of scenery… Wow, this place is so… expansive… the mountains, the air… It all feels new to me…" said Okita.

"Me too, you know? This is actually quite a fun ride." Said Amelia.

"Hm, yeah, I guess… Anyways, we should keep going… Let's not stand up here for too long or we'll look suspicious, we are already a big group that stands out? from the beginning," said Kamei.

"R-Right, Vheslia, can you guide us?" asked Frank.

"Sure thing, come with me…" said Vheslia.

As Vheslia led everyone towards her parent's house, inside of her parent's house, her mother and her father were currently sleeping.

There had been not a single day while they had not thought about their girl, Vheslia.

Since she was born that their lives slowly changed.

Although they faced many difficulties raising her in such a harsh environment, with their abilities and magic, it was still possible.

But even then, it brought a lot of things to their lives.

Amidst the hardship of parenting, there was also a beautiful happiness to it, a happy feeling like nothing else.

Such a happy feeling made them fulfilled as they raised their girl and saw her slowly grow.

However, there was something that differentiated from the rest.

She was born with something that many called… a curse.

Mana Stomach.

It was a "curse" that made her Mana and Energy constantly deplete.

In simple terms, her stomach had somehow the strange ability to drain her mana and energy from her body, making her rather bad at magic because her mana was being constantly drained and regenerated, it made it so she never had enough mana to make any giant and flashy spell.

And she had to go with very small and minimalistic spells at that.

Something that was very important in the tribe of demons, who were all very talented at their magic unlike the beast-kin who were better at physical combat while enhancing their bodies with magic, or the humans that were good at balancing both strength and magic, and then the elves, who were agile magicians.

Demons prided themselves in being "the strongest magic users" and had a strong hierarchy going around such a thing, those that were born with subpar talents or were just completely talentless like Vheslia were regarded as lowly and were usually negated of many privileges.

Because of Vheslia's sickness, or curse, as they called it, her Stomach never satiated itself, and her mana and energy were constantly drained. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

Since a young age that she always ate up to four times what a girl her age would eat, this is because she needed to keep her body with energies and calories before they depleted quickly again…

And even then, she was still always a stick in her younger years, looking very thin and almost malnourished… there were many times when she was in the verge of death at a very young age.

Her parents did everything they could to help her recover, but it was very hard, no matter what anti-curse medicine they bought for her, they were unable to cure her.

She had to somehow get used to this curse and live with it, getting used to it and surviving was her hardest trial, since she was a toddler that she always had fevers and felt hungry all the time. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

Despite how hard her parents worked, sometimes they were unable to give her as much food as she could have wanted, but she endured the pain of hunger within her belly and continued moving forward.

Despite the discrimination and hardships she went through, she always had her dreams within her, and walked through the path to achieve them…

"I want to be a strong magician!"
