I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 36 More Memories

?A huge mana fluctuation was felt outside which alerted all the guards to gather at the dungeon as they believed that an anomaly may have appeared within the dungeon. The reason they think it may be a monster breaking out or dangerous is because they log everyone that enters and their tiers.

"The fluctuation has disappeared." A guard had yelled out as the intense mana waves had died down, another reason was also a bit of Shaman's killing intent leaked out of the dungeon due to them being near the entrance.

"Stay guard and wait for the adventurers to come out and see if any have encountered the anomaly in their instance and if not let them go." A guard wearing a general uniform was giving orders.

After 30 minutes or so a guard came up.

"General Zak, all groups are out except for 5 people." The guard gave the report and Zak was scratching his chin.

"looks like they are the group that encountered them, I think we may need to investigate as they may be all dead since they most likely were the people that encountered the dangerous being." The general ponders for a little bit longer before standing up.

"Send in groups of our men and try to get into the dungeon with the five remaining people and if they are dead leave and report back, if you encounter the being that caused the mana fluctuation retreat straight away!" After giving that order the guards got straight to work getting into groups of 15 and entering one by one in order to get into the dungeon space that Shaman and Elysia are in.

"Jeez Shaman, why do you always have to be the one who almost get themselves killed, if anything you should be more worried about yourself rather than the enemy." Elysia currently had Shaman in her lap and was sitting by the entrance. She was waiting for Shaman to gain consciousness so they could leave.

'Although Wolfy can use Shadow cloak I don't know how long.' Elysia wanted to leave but she did not know the mana capacity of Wolfy so she was not sure if they could leave quick enough before Wolfy ran out.

"Shaaaammaannnnn please wake uuuuuup." Elysia had shook Shaman and gave her small slaps in attempts to wake her up but there was still no response. Elysia also knew that she was fine as the system had not given her any missions to heal her so it was just a matter of time before Shaman wakes up.

After 10 minutes of trying to wake Shaman up with by any means necessary She still did not wake up and so Elysia ended up patting Shaman while daydreaming and imagining various scenarios with Shaman. Wolfy looked over at Elysia and could see a goofy grin on her face while patting Shaman. He ignored this and decided to take refuge on a nearby rock to take a nap.

Meanwhile Shaman was having a dream of the past user's life.

She had no control and was an observer while in the body of a younger version of the previous owner.

'gosh this feels weird not being in control.' Shaman was trying to move but was unable to take control and it took a while for her to get used to it.

'looks like I am looking at life before I took over.' Shaman could see that she was in a rather grand room and could tell that she was a noble beforehand.

'oh yeah why am I here, was I not on the way to the entrance.' But upon recalling what happened before she fell asleep the faces of the dead group flashed through her mind. Tears wanted to come out but were unable to.

'I remember now, although I do not feel close to them but it seems like the previous owner was the one that triggered that mode but why did she have such a strong reaction.' Shaman pondered for a while as it seems like the soul of the previous owner is still in her.

'And it seems like the previous owner is accompanying me, they must have died and I took over her body but she still resides within me.' But before Shaman could speculate more the previous owner started to move outside.

She began to run down the hall and maids could be seen bowing to her as she ran by but Shaman ignored them and continued to run. She eventually reached a massive door and pushed it with all of her strength. After pushing through, it was a massive golden throne room fitted with statues of warriors and previous rulers.

'Shit, I really am a runaway princess.' Shaman was now dreading her circumstances as now she had to be more careful about her identity.

'There is also that black box. If I remember from a dream I was told not to open till I reached tier 10 but why?' Shaman contemplated on the issue but could not come to a reasonable conclusion.

The younger 'Shaman' continued to run towards the throne where what seems to be the parents of the previous owner.

"Mum, Dad, can I go play with my friends." The younger Shaman shouted out with a cheerful voice, the parents smiled and nodded.

"Just be careful Shaman and make sure you come back before sunset." The mother smiled, giving 'Shaman' instructions.

"Okay!" Then 'Shaman' ran off once again.

'So this girl is also called Shaman, I wonder how similar we are because surely this is no coincidence and I guess I should refer to this person as another me since it seems like we are the same.' Shaman now was thinking that she was deliberately chosen to take over the body.

'Still why was I the one to be chosen, I just used to play video games all day and read fantasy novels.' Shaman was arguing with herself but came to a stop when the girl finally reached outside the mansion to see a group of kids.

Shamans eyes widened as it looked like the same 4 people she joined up with.

'What the hell, if they are the same person how did they not recognize me.' Shaman questions were shortly answered as the girl yelled out their names.

"Sherry, Georgia, Alex and Kaleb, how are you!" The other Shaman had a smile on her face as she ran up to them, the group also returned a smile.

'ah I see they are different people but since the group I met looked similar the soul within me had a strong reaction.' Shaman got the answer to why she got berserk as it was something she could not control.

'So if the soul has a strong emotional response it seems to influence me and my actions.' Shaman continued to think back to before she lost control.

'Oh yeah I need to see how my skills are doing since I did not check.' Since the other Shaman was playing and nothing interesting, she tried to check on her skills.

[Wind Slash lvl 4]

[Slicing tornado lvl 3]

[Sword gale lvl 3]

[Wind crescent lvl 3]

[Shadow cloak lvl 3]

[Blazing sword lvl 3]

[Sword dash lvl 4]

[Slash lvl 4]

'Seems like everything leveled up which is good, I need to improve my water skills as well.' Shaman was satisfied as everything had leveled up.

'I hope this dream ends soon, I would like to leave since I'm starting to miss Elysia's and Wolfy's company.' Shaman had a bored expression as nothing was going on but then it cut to a bloody battlefield.

'What the hell?' Shaman was confused but the scene in front of her was morbid. The 4 friends were all skewered by wooden spikes and the other Shaman was sitting in front of them crying. After a short while a man in armour came and picked up Shaman.

"NOOO Please bring them back, *sob* please *sob* go back." The other Shaman screamed in protest as she did not want to leave her dead friend's side but as the screams continued they were cut off as the dream suddenly cuts off to black.

'Well I was not expecting that the memories would be revealed to me when I hit INT 200.' Shaman remembered the message she got about more memories being revealed and it seems like this time it was a movie rather than snipping it.

'I guess I'll wait now, I hope Elysia is okay.' Shaman sighed and floated around while waiting.

After a few minutes or so Shaman felt she was gaining consciousness again.

"Finally."

Shaman slowly opened her eyes and could see Elysia's face with a goofy grin and could feel that she was being petted.

'Maybe I should go back to sleep on this lap pillow and petting feels nice.' Shaman was about to close her eyes again but Elysia broke out of her daydreaming and smiled awkwardly at her.

"Hey darling, how are you?" Shaman was happy to see Elysia again.

But before Elysia answered she leaned in for a kiss.

Elysia pulled back with a smile which entranced Shaman a little.

'I really have fallen in love.' Shaman returned her smile with loving eyes.

"I'm doing great now that you are awake." Elysia was cheerful as she was screaming internally of how cute Shaman was and the gaze she got told her that Shaman loved her even more now.

"That's good, but should we head out of here and get some rest, I could do with a bath right about now." Shaman let out a laugh but was shortly cut off by the sound of metal coming from the entrance.

"Seems like I woke up just in time and judging from all that metal it is either guards or some high level adventurers so we should probably hide." Elysia nodded and Shaman got up and so they got ready to leave the dungeon.
