Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 103: Almost done

After hearing what they all had to say, Nessa went home to eat her food, then took a bath, changed into her nightgown, and went to bed, where she stretched off and yawned.

[Master, you might be able to finish naming them by tomorrow night or the following morning.]

"Miss Notice, the Orcs I named will evolve, correct?" She inquired.

[Yes, they will evolve into high Orcs, which are much smarter than your average Orc; in other words, they are the superior form.]

"I see, well, naming them came with an extra gift, that's good," Nessa said.

[Yes, giving such creatures names will help them evolve into better versions of themselves, it's always nice to have names.]

"That's good, good night, miss Notice," She replied.

[Good night, master.]

While sleeping that night, Nessa couldn't help but have nightmares about her past, which bothered her greatly, and as a result, she was unable to sleep properly and kept waking up, but even worse, she began dreaming about other things that she couldn't understand at the time.

When she awoke the next morning, she was still tired, but she knew she had things to do, so she got out of bed and went about her normal morning routine, then had breakfast and left her house.

"Good morning," She said as she walked to the town center, where she noticed Youthim and the others working on the fountain and smiled at them.

They replied, "Good morning, lady Nessa."

"I see you guys are already back to work; you old guys seem more energetic than I am today," She said, and they laughed.

"Good morning, and you are correct, lady Nessa, you appear a little less energetic today," Vil said as she approached them.

"Good morning, maybe I'm a little off, but there's work to be done, are the others ready to be named?" Nessa inquired, and Zilrud sighed.

"Are you certain you want to get started on that right away?" Zilrud inquired, and Nessa chuckled as she observed the number of Orcs yet to be named.

"Yes, if I don't get started, this will take much longer than it should," She replied.

"All right, if that's what you want, then go ahead," Zilrud said as Aion and a few other goblins approached them, and Nessa looked at him as he handed her a larger bowl containing various types of fruits.

"Good morning, lady Nessa, and also, eat while naming, build your energy at the same time, it's amazing how much of this stuff there is," Aion said and she chuckled then patted him on the head and he grinned.

"Thank you and good morning to you as well, you're giving me more ideas, but we'll work on those later, for now let's take care of what's at hand, Orcs, gather around, you can eat and do whatever you want while I name you guys and good morning to all of you," She replied, and they smiled.

"Good morning, lady Nessa!" They said, and she smiled as she sat down and looked at the line.

[This will take some time; if you want, I can suggest names that will suit them as well.]

"I see, well, please do help, that way I'll be able to finish sooner," Nessa said.

[All right, I'll give you names as well because you'll be sleeping for a while after this.]

Nessa smiled, then began naming the Orcs while the others worked, keeping an eye on her because naming such beings consumes energy, and Nessa appeared tired to them, which she was.

Hours passed and she still had more to do, despite finishing most of them with the assistance of her system, which suggested names for her at a rapid pace.

Later that day, while naming them, Nessa noticed her vision becoming blurry and wiped her eyes.

[Master, you need to rest; naming them is draining your energy, and there are a lot of them.]

"I see, well can I just name a few more of them, then stop?" She asked.

[Yes, you can do about twenty more and you'll be done by night, then take a break and make sure you get enough sleep tonight or you won't be able to finish them the next day.]

"Got it," Nessa said, continuing to name the Orcs.

Nessa sighed as night fell and she finished naming the given amount by the system, then looked at the Orcs who were smiling brightly.

"I'll name the rest of you tomorrow, and then I'll be done," She said, and they bowed their heads, thanking her before she stood up and went to the others.

"Are you done for the day?" Riki asked and she glanced at him and then sighed.

"Yes, I am tired, I need more food and sleep," She responded and Liya grinned.

"What is it?" Liya asked.

"After all of this, will I be able to have some of your time as well?" She asked and Nessa smiled at her.

"Yes, you will, I have not forgotten my promise," She responded and Liya smiled brightly.

"Thank you," She said.

"There's no need to thank me; I made a promise, and I always keep them," Nessa replied, smiling as Riki patted Liya on the shoulder.

"Lady Nessa, it's getting late; you should go get some rest," Riki suggested.

"I know, and I'm going now, good night guys," She said.

"Good night," They replied, and she went to her house, where she freshened up, changed into her nightgown, and threw herself on her bed, letting out a loud sigh.

[Are you all right?]

"Yes, I'm fine; I'll try to sleep because if I don't, I'll have those horrible nightmares again," She replied.

[Yes, it could be because you're pushing yourself; get some rest and regain some of your energy, you will need it that's for sure, master; good night.]

"I know, thank you for the help today as well, I was able to finish more because of you, good night, Miss Notice..." Nessa said as she closed her eyes and fell asleep, and while she slept, Akio entered her room and sat by her bedside to sleep because he felt like keeping an eye on her.
