Chapter 1: Looking For
Greetings, my name is Lissa Shyninston, daughter of Alissia Shyninston, leader of the Lizardman clan Stoneheir. I am now far far away from home, on a journey to improve my fighting skills, and I'm determined to become the best !

"I am going to find, and challenge, the strongest warriors in this world ! And for sure, no matter what, I AM GONNA MARRY THE STRONGEST OF THEM ALL !!!!!!! "

But, it is easier said than done. I have already challenged dozens of elite soldiers, and the so called heroes. But so far no man has proven his value to me.

But, I'll find him for sure ! As a warrior, my determination and courage have no limits ! And I fear nothing ! Or at least this is what I wanna say but... There is one thing I fear more than any blade, and it is high heights.

Well, of course I would never fear a fall from six or seven meters high. My body is strong enough to deal with such short fall without problems. But anything over 12 meters for sure would hurt a lot ! And a fall from over 18 meters could even be lethal !

As a inhabitant of the undergrounds, I never had to deal with high heights before, and yet here I am, in a situation far away from comfortable.

Well, I am not in danger right now but, I would really like this experience to end soon.

I am currently traveling trough a small road in the mountains, barely wide enough for 2 people to walk side by side.

To my right there is the face of the mountain, so tall that it makes me dizzy just from looking up.

To my left a cliff I don't even dare to look down ! But, it is enough to say that when I throw a rock, it takes several seconds to hit the ground. Certain death to anyone who don't know how to fly.

But, there is a reason to why I am following this path. I'm tracking a man. A hero so strong that it is said he can defeat even the strongest chaos monsters in a blink of a eye !

Oops, I almost forgot ! I didn't tell anything about the  chaos monsters yet. Well, since the chaos gods's return 11 years ago, a number of monsters and beasts have returned to their origins as killing machines.

So, currently the monsters are split into 2 main factions:

The Succubus monsters: Under the Succubus Demon Lord 's influence. These monsters, including myself, almost never kill humans and only hunt a husband among them.

And the chaos monsters: Under the Chaos Gods's influence. These monsters returned to the fearsome form they had before the Succubus Demon Lord era. And some managed to become even worse !

Succubus monsters still outnumber chaos monsters by 30 to 1. But, the chaos gods only changed back some of the stronger and more aggressive creatures. So the few transformed monsters can still spread a lot of chaos.

"Ahh finally ! " The path before me opens to a wider area. And I can see a village at a distance. Maybe I can find some information about the hero there.

"Humm. This is a quite nice place ! Small farms here and there... The ocean... Sand dunes... Some fisher boats at a distance... Ah, the village ! "

The village is a bit messy, and I see a lot of smiles. It seems like they had a party yesterday.

"Excuse me ! I am looking for a man people say is a really strong warrior, do you know anything about him ? "

Villager: " Sure, er.. well, miss lizard, you are probably talking about the hero who saved our village from that Krugg  yesterday.  He left this morning, he was going north along the shore."

"Do you know his name ?"

Villager: "Ah, Allan, I heard people calling him Allan. "

"Allan... Thank you ! " That man was polite, but was obviously awkward by my presence. Well, it doesn't matter, it is like this almost everywhere.

Just outside the village, I see the dead Krugg. They are minor chaos monsters, with skin and flesh as hard as rock. This one is small, about the size of a rhino.

But, even small, this is the first time I see a krugg sliced like potato chips !

"This is his doing ! No doubt about it ! "

Woman:"Lucaa ! Lucaa ! "

"Any problem ? "

Woman:"Did you see my son.. ah, sorry ! "

"Your son ? "

Woman: "Yes my boy, he is this high, dark haired, brown eyes, did you see him ? "

"No, I didn't but I'll send him home if I do."

Woman:"Thank you ! "

That woman was really worried.. Ahh, sure, we are near the ocean.. Chaos monsters are more common here !

Since the rise of the Chaos Gods, Poseidon have lost her absolute control over the oceans. The battle down there must be quite bitter !

"Hum ? " I hear voices over there. Just a little run to reach them.

Boy:  "You have to teach me how to fight monsters too ! "

Man: " I said you already: I am not accepting apprentices ! "

Found them ! Yes ! Two birds with one arrow !

"HEY ! Your name is Allan right ? The one who defeated that krugg. My name is Lissa Shyninston, and I am here to challenge you to a duel ! "

Allan (man): "My name is Allanir Oulmut, people call me Allan, and yes, I defeated the krugg. Sorry disappoint you, but I'm not accepting any challenge."

"What ?! " Damn it ! How am I supposed to measure your power without a fight ?!

"I'm challenging you ! Why don't you fight me ?! "

Allan: "Cause I don't like useless fights."

Damn it ! Damn it ! Damn it ! Should I attack him ? No, he refused politely. I have no right to attack him ! I'll have to bug him until he accept the duel !

But first, take care of the kid.

"I'm going to challenge you again ! But first I have to take care of this boy ! "

"Boy ! You're Luca, right ? Your mother is looking for you. You have to go back ! "

Luca (boy): "No ! I am going to be a knight ! "

DONCK 

Luca: "Hey ! That hurts ! "

"YOU FOOL ! How are you supposed to be a warrior, if you can't even dodge or parry that ? "

"And warriors don't complain about small hurts ! "

"If a chaos monster appear now, you will dead for sure ! "

Luca: "I can take care of myself ! "

Damn it ! I'll have to drag this imp all the way back to the village !

Luca: "Hey ! let me go ! "

Allan: "You're gonna take him back ?  Thank you ! "

The boy continued to complain, but I just stopped listening.

I have to take him to his mother and catch up with Allan as soon as possible ! If I cut through the dunes it will be way faster. I just have to carry the boy. Yes, that is it !

Lucky me I have big feet, makes a lot easier to run over sof..."Ahhhhhh !! "

"What the hell ?! " A big hole in the sand opened under my feet. "AH SANDWORM !!! "

The mouth of a huge chaos sandworm, swallowing and throwing up sand, was dragging us down with the collapsing dune !

"Damn it ! I can't climb fast enough ! "

Luca: "It's gonna eat us !! "

Suddenly something coiled around my right arm.

Allan: "Hold on ! "

In one single movement, Allan pulled us up from the hole. "

Allan: "This path ! Take the boy away ! "

"Ok ! "

"There's no way to fight this creature ! We have to run to the beach ! It can't follow us in wet sand ! Allan ?! "

Allan was not following me. He was back there. Fighting the beast !!!!!!

Running over a platform made of some kind of force field, he positioned himself above the creature, while it emerged.

The HUGE monster, with a mouth large enough to swallow a elephant, jumped towards him only to be engulfed in a even bigger fireball !!

Allan jumps from one force platform to another, at a amazing speed, to reposition himself for another attack !

The second attack: A blinding beam of light as bright as the sun, hits the sandworm's body leaving large burning marks on the the creature !

Extremely fast, the monster plunges into the sand and disappear !

"He, made the sandworm retreat !! "

Obviously angry and tired, Allan slowly walks toward us.

Allan: "Damn it !  It escaped ! "

Escaped ?!!!!

Allan: "Listen to me boy ! I fight these kind of creature twice a week ! Today you were lucky cause this girl helped, but I don't think I can save you every time a creature like this appear ! "

He called me girl ?!

Allan: "You should say 'thank you' to her, cause I am pretty sure she could have escaped without my help, if she dropped you ! "

Luca: "T-thank you, m-miss Lissa ! "

Allan: "What about you ? Are you ok Lissa ? "

"Ok ! I'm fine ! No problem ! "

Luca: "You are bleeding miss. "

"What ? This is just a scratch ! Warriors don't complain about little hurts, remember ? "

Luca: "It's not so little ! "

Allan: "Let me see it. "

"No need to ! It is just a sc. what ?! " A healing spell ?! This fast ?!

Allan: "You two, get on this floating platform. It is gonna take you back to the village.  "

A magic device ?! "A-are you giving it to me ? "

Allan: "No ! it is gonna return to me as soon as you leave it. Even if that worm is still around, if you are not touching the ground it will never sense you. Come on ! I don't have all day ! "

"Ok ! "

The floating device started to move towards the village, along the shore for extra safety.

Luca: "Cool ! This is fast ! "

"Boy, I don't think you can become strong enough to be a warrior. And if you're not strong you're just food ! You should give up. "

Luca: "It's ok ! I don't wanna be a knight anymore ! "

"That is good ! "

Luca: "I wanna be a mage !!"

I give up !! This imp is gonna be food for sure !!

Mage ........

That man.. How is it possible to be so strong? How a man can have energy to cast such powerful spells ?

Those moves.. He was so fast ! He could easily win a race against a centaur !

Why??? Why I didn't feel his spirit energy ?

A man with that much energy, should have a aura that, can be sensed from several kilometers away !

And yet, he was just before me, and all I could sense was a normal human aura !

Even during the battle, I sensed a increase of energy only for a split of second during the attacks !

Luca:"..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ss Lissa ! Miss Lissa ! "

"What ?! "

Luca: "We arrived. "

Woman: "Luca ! Oh, thank you miss lizard ! For bringing back my son. "

"You're welcome ! " Wait...

Woman: "Would you like to.."

"Sorry, but I have to go ! "

That device is gonna return do him ! This means that if I follow it, I'll find him !

Damn it ! It is fast ! My legs won't last much at this speed !

I have to get on it. "Gotcha ! " Now, this thing is gonna take me straight to him !

It seems this device was made for cargo. Well, I don't care about it ! I could get used to travel this way.

That man must walk quite fast.. I'm way beyond the place of that fight and I don't see him. I can even see the next city already. Ah, found him !

Allan: "Lissa, why are you still following me ? "

He sensed my presence ?! "I have a request ! "

"PLEASE, MARRY ME !!!! "
