My heart felt like it was stepped on by a thousand people when i gave that speech.

  I'm used to tears now, I'm used to being happy, sad but there was something that hasn't happened yet. I didn't know what to feel about it.

  Honoring.

  I understood what it meant now and that I had to do it with my own hands.

  Brummy... Brumhilde had me see it myself so i could understand that i had already been pierced by her eyes.

  The crowd didn't understand it and her soldier friends didn't care for it, when i looked at them with bottles and off-balance.

  It was the coin, the coin the bice handed the driver, i could feel it - bice wouldn't survive this night.

  Letty walked the far side of the foyer and we were going to cross paths, she felt ominous and didn't look at me as she trotted past.

  I bypassed everything secure since I owned the castle.

  The castle had rooms above filled with clothes and jewelry that were locked but you could see, big big rooms that were copied because the streets were like that.

  They used their rooms underneath to store for Brumhilde, their soldiers and themselves.

  there wasn't a scuff in the honoring area. It was the same as the monitoring room that Count Tepes had but...

  The furniture was alive.

  The fabric spoke like flowers, flowers i could sit on. while i measured my decision as Letty and Brumhilde did.

  The only mistake Letty made was thinking she failed the spellcastings, she won and now she’s hurtful and going to challenge brumhilde closely.

  "To what benevolent demon do I owe being surrounded by mystery, Oh Beatitude! That which we generally name life, I savor minute by minute, second by second,"

  The room spoke but i knew even if i couldn't see it, it was a double room - it didn't smoke black or white from the flames brumhilde had but pink and blue smoke.

  "No minutes for you, No more seconds," I said.

  "Is it the bailiff who has come to torture me, the prostitute cry poverty and to add the trivialities of her life to the pains of my own; or else the messenger boy of a magazine editor, come to demand the next installment of a manuscript. The paradisiacal room, the idol, the queen of dreams, the Sylph, as the great René would say, all of that magic has disappeared at the brutal knock struck by the Specter."

  "I just want you to give me an objective and shut down like the lights that count Tepes had," I said.

  "First time? The horror... Listen Second Human, every second says, come on you nobody! get to work slave! Live on damned one!"

  "But...but they lived, didn't they?” I said, “and so did you but its time to start over so give it to me and say bye bye,".

  Letty wanted Brumhilde to handle this herself but she didn't know that this wasn't hard.

  It was hurting myself that was the hardest. the deepest cut.

  I didn't have to touch myself or the room but one day I'd have to.

  Right now, the easiest thing I could sense was that there wasn't much it could do against me.

  "Benevolent Demon, you understand the progressions at such a young age and are willing to kill me and a part of yourself.

  you simply do not wish to engage me and ruthlessly do so, in such i also have an opportunity to be a hypocrite. a backlash for a backlash".

  An interface showed on the screen, it was a lady, she wore the shortest shorts i've ever seen and a pyjama top.

  She had one eye blue and the other purple - blue hair with one piece which was red

  These were attributes! They were part of her body.

  "Julian, I'm hungry,"

  Julian, the bank assistant, handed her a sandwich as they discussed what he put in it and how he made it. My mind calculated that this... this was my mother and Julian was a simple farmer.

  It looks like the building of the city had been made and this woman was very comfortable.

  she scratched her head in fatigue.

  "Violette run the reel, i'm ready to send the message now,".

  "It's already recording,"

  I watched the screen with such awe - mama had left me violette, it was a part of her before.

  You can’t share screens, it couldn’t be done.

  Mama brushed her hair but shagged it again by scratching, this was my mom.

  she smiled with a sad look and glimmer in her eyes but i could tell julian was really scared of her

  " you have a few battles under your belt i see - it must've been tough.

  There's birds in eggballs underneath your world. I need you to hold on to a castle, specifically a grey bird.

  It represents space and time - what matters is its castle.

  Gerda listen carefully - you need to play this like chess and move pieces.

  You're progressive enough if you receive this and you should have an army.

  You people war with words because of their multiple beliefs but you need to engage in all kinds of battle.

  there's a Training Centre you need to get to, if you not doing well, it will teleport you,

  if that's the case, then you'll have an easy life as a servant if things have been tough,

  but in case you can do it, i've given you the co-ordinate.

  im going to be honest... you not going to be able to be a housewife and live with a farmer.

  so if you recieving this because your years are up, please discuss it.

  there's a whole universe out there.

  My name... My name is Reyna, i expect an army"

  The screen closed - I forcefully did it.

  there was no door when i looked at how i entered but my desires created keys but no door, turning it shut something down inside of me.

  This room was based on my imagination and the only thing I ever wanted was to hug my mom.

  The double room could've created her, just like the keys that felt so metal I could even taste it.

  everything felt like my own body - even the room throbbed.

  this couldn't be allowed.

  why did i cancel my greatest desire, i thought to myself, even if it showed papa i would've done the same.

  I'm doing what Brumhilde...no, what Bice would've done for me.

  one could understand only if you're from this world, the off-worlders maybe would've understood.

  It was my attribute - leadership. Green money was something you carried, but Letty called Bice a monster, because she was made from attributes.

  The ending of dinner I attended would've ended with talent.

  "Violette, give me the talents that Bice gave me," I said.

  Violette never spoke but a vase slid out of my vase and I grabbed it.

  This room wasn't so different from the light crystals in the dinner but more in the underwater ripples from count tepes’s watching room.

  Inside it were stars, lots and lots of stars - I started getting excited, children at school would receive stars on their forehead when they did well.

  I learned under the tree, I was too young to enter the class and papa didn't pay for the atelier class, i could only go to different farms.

  the stars had names [Cold resistance] [Heat resistance] [poison resistance] [strength augmentation]

  "Gerda, may i make a recommendation?" Violette said.

  "Okay,"

  "choose [Co-ordination] - the silver star,".

  "no, thanks - i want [Moral compass] - this purple star," i said.

  "You'll regret that, especially in this room," Violette said.

  "What do you mean?" I asked.

  Violette has never spoken so much before. I took a moment to think...

  Even though Bice didn't fight with an object, Letty attacked with a liquid that turned into fire, she ended up in a bad situation because the forest was on fire.

  Letty had leaves on her and grew up in the forest but she still chose fire which didn't suit her.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

  Bice blocked with her screen interface and Violette also saved me from falling in the hole in the bank, even though she asked me to jump.

  honestly, I wanted [moral compass] because of her but at the same time.

  my thinking caused her to process.

  "Gerda, a person can have one star that can win against someone with four stars all in the experience they gather.

  Co-ordination to you is body movement but it can grow into something your mother's lineage has never had but one your father has - politics.

  combat mechanics built to see dynamics such as loyalty and forecast influences,

  Normally you would need degree scrolls to fill it up but this room is drawing an immense amount of power and engineering to give it to you - under either respect this is the best choice".

  "What was my mother's first star, Violette?" I asked.

  "[Guerrilla expertise] - same as all in your lineage, it means to take by surprise and can range from survivalist, mental war, essentially… not normal skills.

  I'm 16 generations old in your family but the homeworld is far more brutal - please consider more than this world when making decisions,

  just as you considered more than yourself in this double room,".

  I nodded as I thought carefully about it.

  "where...how do I use it?" I asked.

  "Unfortunately, as you've reached duality in this room, you will need to share your wealth into the star, particularly your intellect.

  Normally you will have to rely on the stars insight, and lose reasoning - stars are dangerous, be careful of your next choices - your only handicap here was your age but now you are honored,".

  "Star! i choose you!" I said.

  I dropped the purple star and focused all of my might to the silver star.

  The star disappeared as I heard ringing in my mind and felt something shut down the same way I shut down the room - it just closed.

  my eyes flashed black and white and i opened my eyes and as i did - it felt like my mind opened ,violette had stars above her. She had seven stars.

  "you see the stars? Unfortunately, they're useless to you - you have no developer’s skills.

  the skills aren't my own either - i also have no developer's skill - I'm sorry but I'm simply a rudimentary shield to you".

  I pondered her words but I wasn't disappointed.

  I could sense that Violette was very unhappy about this - she's been silent very often, I didn't think she had problems inside.

  I'm learning... that everyone has problems inside.

  "Honor me" - I demanded the room. The star needed power.

  The room spoke deadpan compared to its previous flair.

  "The honor is simple - I must survive seven years as I have had in the past but every castle will have a secondary honor to remove me as the castle off the world.

  when i blossom once again, you will be notified - your honor is receiving the trajectory of the endless war and taking care of my child - i as a castle will ascend and leave a spore" the room said.

  The room filled my star with energy that it thickened, sharpened, the spikes angled thin near the inside, Thick into a diamond and narrowed like a dagger. It even zigzagged so that it didn’t look straight. This was a [Co-ordination] star?

  "Hey, the birds underneath?" I asked.

  I was so spooked that i changed the topic.

  My mothers message must've been real from Violette's interface.

  Though I felt lollygaggy - i had already seen the bird egg in the training room with Bice.

  It was confusing, i had a mom but i wanted but i wanted to think of Bice as a mom as well.

  "You must allow them to pass underneath your castle," the room said.

  “Yea,” i said/

  That wasn't a bad answer. I didn’t want to get in the way of this world.

  The situation I now had was anxiety in my calculations - I knew Letty and Bice were fighting but I couldn't trust who would win and why.

  I was finished in this room. I started running towards where the exit should be.

  "If you leave the room - it will disappear and the castle will disappear in an hour."

  I didn't think about it as I left but as I entered the white foyer - I had to pause for a moment...

  I could see the entire castle and it was huge - all the areas had been opened and it was filled with people - hundreds of people.

  The display cases were all open but no one was touching what was inside.

  I sifted through all the people and found two people I knew searching in different places.

  "Ms. Erranart... Big sister Kou..." I said.

  They turned around and looked around but they knew I was speaking through the walls.

  "Gerda," they both said.

  There was turmoil when I walked through the corridor of people as they were frightened and holding on to each other covered in dust.

  i couldn't see them clearly, they were just gasses of color but what i did notice was that they were different shades of green, leadership attribute.

  "Gerda"

  I looked above Joselyn and Kou head both had three stars above their head,

  I tried not to make it obvious because I knew they couldn’t see it.

  Joselyn had one purple that was titled second wind, i understood what it meant immediately,

  If you’re running and get tired, it makes you happy again.

  The two others were silver and didn’t say anything.

  All of the people I saw until now didn’t say anything.

  Kou had three red stars that said vanguard, berserk and lancer.

  “Are you okay, Kou?” I asked.

  That middle one meant she wasn’t well.

  She always looked my way but she simply stared further than my eyes.

  “You…You guys aren’t from here,” I said.

  They both looked at each other in concern.

  “Your enquiries…” Joslyn said, “You’re just like us though, you know that,”.

  I froze trying not to look at the silver stars above joselyn head, one silver star explained.

  The star was named speculation. Though it meant she didn’t really know.

  They both stood silent while everyone around coughed in misery.

  “Where is Bice,” I asked.

  “What happened in your honoring?” Joselyn asked.

  “I… I have to defend this place when it shows up again, I don't know where,” I said.

  They both looked at each other stressfully.

  “The condition is everyone will have to try to take it over,” joselyn said.

  “Where is Bice?” i asked again.

  I was worried about why everyone was inside.

  “Everyone,” Joselyn shouted, “Take everything you can as fast as you can, you can’t leave

  Without wearing it, it will be your gear - you’re all soldiers now!”

  “What!” Kou shouted.

  For the first time Kou seemed angry and i was confused but Kou understood what was going on.

  “Bice asked everyone to go inside when that centaur came out of the building.

  She said there was something only you should see.

  The first strike of fire scared everyone inside.

  Go outside and see, she already had told us goodbye,”.

  Joselyn’s eyes were as sharp as Bice’s and the last star showed itself - it was titled fatality.

  It meant that bice was dead.

  I ran through the corridor with joselyn and Kou nearby.

  “Take a weapon that suits you! Exchange for anything that looks the same!

  Children must also take weapons, consider them as sixteen years old - consider their growth!”

  Joselyn shouted as everyone found something in the displays.

  There was a stark difference between what we normally wore and what was on the displays.

  We normally wore farmer’s clothes of shorts with straps but luckily the clothes of those

  Who were previously in the city was similar to some of the clothes that were here.

  “Don’t assure yourselves that your clothes are almost the same, everyone strips and changes.

  Charisma clothes first then Strength clothes or gear - Red and purple, Some silver

  Choose wisely”

  Everyone was naked and afraid as people dressed themselves - rushing from different side,

  Everyone was running around and since they were all born with leadership,

  They shouted and heckled - some even took all the clothes and shouted them like they were for sale but luckily people were in gladness and took what they needed.

  People showed such leadership but as we got to the front, two people wearing suit

  Who had not changed were holding down two people to their knees.

  “Joselyn, we captured Eamon and Moll cutpurse - the people who stole from the bank earlier in the day,” he said.

  He stopped as we watched them. They hadn’t stolen from the bank, i even knew that but they asked joselyn but more than that - these two people on their knees were special.

  Everyone in the entire castle didn’t have information and even when they had no stars, they had information.

  “What do you have to say for yourself?” Kou asked.

  Kou picked the man by his throat and off his feet as she squeezed tighter and tigher.

  “We didn’t steal anything, everything was closed and the attributes had turned to powder,” Moll cutpurse said.

  “Still, you entered the bank knowing something had happened, you were accused because you’re a thief,” Joselyn said.

  Moll cutpurse was truly a thief - it had said so on her head but to receive such a name with no stars - it wasn’t so far from the berserk title that Kou had and even then, she was great.

  “Wait,” I said, “I like them,”.

  The man named Eamon was even more special; his title was incendiary, which meant fireworks.

  The name was green in a foggy way but silver when written.

  I was the only one who could see it.

  “Do you know what happens to people like you in the army!” Kou said.

  “Gerda, do you know them?” Joselyn asked.

  I shook my head.

  “Let them pick their weapon, just let them be," I said.

  I ran past them as slow as I was and I saw Eamon and Moll cutpurse look at me and I stopped.

  Above their heads there was a +40.

  That was probably what Violette spoke about when she mentioned the star that I chose.

  I smiled at them but I didn't know what to say. Kou dropped Eamon.

  Though i got anxious again as i decide to run through the past door,

  It was almost closed but I slipped through and a small weight left me.

  The castle had a measurement you can control but luckily Julian put it on 1 star leadership.

  It’s probably another reason why the people were in agony.

  Next time the castle came again, I had to make sure that everyone was at least one star.

  When I walked outside - everything was broken - the big buildings had fallen to the ground.

  There were ten people dead I could see but they had no stars - so it meant my powers only worked in the castle.

  Though it was strange - I could sense Bice but it wasn’t on the ground far away from the steps.

  It was in the sky.

  I looked up and there were lights, they were curly… they were happiness bends, they were Bice.

  The cloud had five stars but I looked down feeling bad if I had to look at what they were.

  I understood what Bice wanted to show me - all this time… she was just mist.

  She survived for one reason and I didn't know what it was but I knew that I missed my papa.

  “Bice,” I shouted towards the light, “You’re still alive and i will make you again, i promise”.

  Mama had many attributes but i think Bice was made from many in a different way.

  Letty called her a monster and everyone was so afraid of her, she didn’t even tell them who she was.

  It started raining with the smallest of clouds but it poured down in random places that it created a moonbow.

  I knew Bice was still with - she would join us wherever we went until i bring her back.

  It was only one day but… “Mom,”.
