Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 120: A list

Nessa stretched after returning home, then grabbed her clothes and went to freshen up.

A while after she finished, Nessa got dressed and went to bed where she promptly fell asleep since she was tired.

While sleeping, Nessa kept on having bad dreams, yet it didn't wake her up.

Her head ached the next morning when she awoke, but she got out of bed, freshened up, and went through her normal morning routine before making herself breakfast and eating it.

When she was finished, she left the house and went to the center of town, where she noticed the others had already begun working and smiled at them.

They said, "Good morning, lady Nessa."

"Good morning, I'll be right back," She replied with a smile before heading out to the top of the hill that overlooked the town.

Nessa liked the view from there because it helped her relax as well as admire her town and the people within it.

Looking at the town and how quickly it was growing, Nessa smiled because she was pleased and wished for everyone to live a peaceful life free of worry, but she knew that would be impossible because they would always be targeted for the land and those who saw them as a threat would only want to get rid of them.

Nessa had no idea that other than the Orcs, more trouble was on the way, and she would be caught up in the middle of it all.

"Lady Nessa," Someone said, and when she turned around, she saw it was Aion and he smiled at her.

He said, "Good morning."

"Good morning Aion, what are you doing out here?" She asked.

"I was picking fruits and helping the others out," He responded and she smiled.

"That's good, what do you have there?" She asked as he showed her the basket of fruits and she smiled.

"Can I have a banana?" She asked as his eyes narrowed.

"You just managed to hurt my feelings once again, lady Nessa," He responded as she stared at him.

"Do tell me what you are talking about now, Aion," She said and he sighed.

"Clueless, you are our leader, of course, you can have it, you don't have to ask for everything, they are yours as well, simply take it, don't break my heart like that, it's fragile," He replied, and she chuckled before stretching and patting him on the head before taking the banana.

"Thank you, and please know that I will always ask before I take," She said and he sighed.

"I should have known that you would say that, it's fine though, we all love you for the way you are," He replied with a smirk and her eyes narrowed while looking at him.

"You are quite mischievous aren't you?" She asked as he turned away blowing whistles.

"No, I am not, I just love troubling people, it's fun, their reactions, especially," He responded and she smirked.

"You better be careful, Aion, because someone is going to get you, and it might be those you prank," She warned, as he gave her a nervous smile.

"I am not a bully if that's what you are thinking lady Nessa," He replied and she chuckled.

"Of course, I know that, you are not a bully, you just like playing around, and you are also kind of sweet," She said as he smiled brightly, then sighed and returned her gaze to the town, which he glanced at before smiling.

"Nice view," He said and she nodded.

"Yes, it is," She replied.

"Don't you have to get back, Aion?" She asked and he exhaled deeply.

"I just want to sleep today, lady Nessa, but I also want to help because I want to see how this place will look when it's finished,"  She smiled after he responded.

"That's good to know, well, I am going to make something for you and the goblins, prepare yourselves," She said and he looked at her with a grin.

"We are always prepared when you are concerned, lady Nessa, not just me and my friends, but all of us," He replied, and she chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's time I go back now, bye, Lady Nessa," He said as he rushed off.

"Bye," She replied before returning her gaze to the town, sighed, and peeled the banana before beginning to eat it.

While eating it, Nessa looked around and smiled as she remembered how big the land was.

"Miss Notice," She said.

[Yes.]

"Is it possible to obtain a detailed map of this place?" She inquired.

[For you, personally?]

"Yes, I'm interested in knowing what to build next; do you think I'm thinking too big?" She asked, and the system chuckled.

[Of course not, in a world like this, you have to think big if you want to change it; you have the power to change everything; I'll get you a fully detailed map, master.]

"Thank you," She said.

[You are welcome.]

"Oh, there's something else I'd like you to do," Nessa said.

[As long as it is related to you, I am always willing to assist; what is it?]

"A list of all of my skills," She responded.

[Master, are you seriously considering mastering them all?]

"Yes, I am; it's the only way I can protect them; I need to ger stronger," She responded.

[This is dangerous, you push yourself too far, and some of your powers are beyond the control of normal people, dark, do you still want the list?]

"Yes, please make it; I will begin practicing right away with your guidance; you will help, right?" Nessa inquired.

[Of course I will, you are my master as much as theirs.]

"Thank you, with your assistance, I will be able to master them; I realized that the only way to ensure my nation's survival is for me to be stronger than those I face, I know they are people within this world that are stronger than I can imagine, it's scary but I don't care," Nessa said.

[You are correct, this world is filled with darkness and people with god-like powers; I will assist in any way I can.]
