*****

I was currently on vacation in my little snow cabin pressed right against my favorite snow-capped hill.

The forest on one side, the hill on the other.

Whenever I was a child, I would sit at the top of the hill and stare into the forest, thinking of all the unintelligent monsters I could slaughter.

But, I couldn't as I needed to keep my evolution until the ceremony.

"*sigh*... This is nice," I muttered, holding the newly heated mug of hot chocolate in my hands as I sat back in my lounge chair.

My wings folded against my back.

As soon as I finished my cup of hot chocolate, I felt invigorated with life, so I made my way into the forest, hoping to level up a bit.

I closed my eyes, using the snow to try and feel out any monsters that I could kill, but sensed only one sign of life… and it was strong.

Very strong.

It was probably on par with my own power.

As I couldn't just leave it to roam, I decided to fly up into the air and stalk, hopefully having a chance to rid it.

If I let it attack the kingdom, it will most likely kill at least half of the citizens… which I can't let happen.

My four wings sprouted from my back, and I quickly flew up, and within only a few minutes, I arrived above the powerful being.

[Inspect]

But for some reason, it was blocked.

[You are unable to Inspect this being]

"W-what the hell," I muttered before taking a closer look at it.

It was a woman with long black hair and pale white skin.

Her pupils were pitch-black while a yellow circle was around her left pupil and a red X was straight through her right pupil.

She was about 2 inches smaller than me, which was surprising as I was very tall.

And finally… she had two black wings on her back.

She was wrapped in robes made from an extremely rough material, but I managed to just catch a glimpse of black and white tattoos crawling up her hands and arms.

"But she looks exhausted," I muttered to myself, feeling the pressure slowly relieved from me.

She looked as if she hadn't eaten in months, and she also seemed very dehydrated.

Her eyes had a slight gloss over them as well, so I decided to fly down to her.

I gathered a large cross-shaped sword in my hand, made from snow, and dashed towards her at an unimaginable speed.

My speed ripped through the air, but just as my sword reached her neck, she disappeared, and I felt a blow send me flying up into the air.

I used my wings to try and put some distance between us, but the woman appeared in front of me, still seemingly on the verge of dying.

"Urp,"

Suddenly, she threw up tons of blood.

It looked as if it was enough to fill another being with enough blood to sustain them for a lifetime.

And then, the gloss on her eyes fully coated her pupils, rendering her unconscious.

She plummeted into the snow, and I heard the snap of one of her arms breaking.

It was nauseating, and I almost threw up as I slowly descended towards her, still wary of what she might do.

But, she was completely unconscious, and even though I expected her arm to heal back into place… I didn't think it would heal this fast.

"Should I kill her?" I muttered.

My eyes grew colder and colder by the second, but I calmed down and began to think of a plan…

I guess I'll clear her memories for now… I could use somebody as powerful as this…

[Illusionist: First Ring]

A warm purplish-pink light enveloped my hand and then spread to the head of the unconscious woman.

As soon as the light seeped into her head, I picked her up and brought her to my small wooden cabin.

It had a singular couch and a brick fireplace that was connected to the brick chimney leading out of the small cabin.

Then there was a small carpet in the center of the room.

The cabin was made just to hold barely one person, but I guess I could let her sleep here for now.

I sat on one side of the couch while I rested her head against my thighs, her legs just barely scraping the end of the couch.

"Mmmmm,"

Suddenly, the woman woke up as soon as I had my third cup of hot chocolate that I heated up with the fireplace.

"Good morning," I say with the warmest smile I could give her.

"Good morning," She responds with a sweet voice.

It had a bit of a tomboyish hint to it as she sat up from my thighs and looked around, confused with everything.

"Where am I?" She asks, glancing at me with her creepy eyes.

"You're in my vocational home. I found you dying in the forest,"

"Ummmmm… This may sound like a weird question, but who am I?" She asks.

"You're my little sister," I respond with a warm smile.

"I have a sister? I don't really remember having a… Oh, I do have a sister… But you don't look like her," She says.

It seems shes' too strong to be fully affected by the skill… Well, I'll just have to try a little harder at convincing her.

"Yes, you do have another younger sister, but I am your big sister,"

"But, she was my big sister,"

Shit…

"*sigh*... It seems you're still struggling to remember things… Come here. You can snuggle up next to me as you're clearly shivering," I say, gesturing for her to come back to the couch, which she obediently did.

Her scary aura that previously made my body instinctively back up was gone entirely.

She climbed onto the couch and then snuggled right up next to me, placing her head against my shoulder.

"Big sis…" She muttered.

"Yes?"

"I'm scared,"

"Why?"

"Because I keep seeing them in my dreams,"

"Seeing who?"

"Titans,"

Titans!? How the hell does she know about titans!?

"I-It's okay… I'll protect you from the scary titans. Big sis here will make sure they can't reach you,"

"Promise?"

"Yes… I promise, now get some more sleep," I mutter, stroking her hair.

If she knows about titans, that means she's a Plane Walker… Which means she might be more powerful than I thought.

Titans are monsters only seen in corrupted planes; Planes that have died and begin to spawn titans to cope with the spiritual pressure of the great spirits.

"It's okay… Big sis will protect you,"

"Mhm," She replies before I hear light snoring come from her.

She's kind of cute…

A few days have passed, and we haven't done much as she's been a bit too over affectionate with me.

"Big sis, why?" She mutters as I refuse to sit down on the couch.

"Because you're annoying me,"

"I-I'm annoying?" She mutters, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

And as I couldn't resist her pitiful face, I sat back down on the couch as she snuggled up next to me, holding the blanket tightly against her.

I smirked at how cute she was… and decided to give in once again.

This is why we haven't done much… I couldn't resist her adorableness.

"You know if we don't move around, we'll get fat,"

"Okay…"

"*sigh*... Come on, let's go hunting!"

But today, I decided to resist her cuteness and slam my foot down, making sure we went outside.

I wanted her to keep some of the skills she had from before.

"N-no! Big sis! D-Don't leave me!" She cries out, tears welling up in her eyes once again.

"It's okay... It's okay… I won't leave you as long as you come with me outside… okay?" I tried to persuade her, and even though she looked terrified as I opened the door, she quickly made her way over to me before grabbing the sleeve of my robe.

Her eyes snapped in every direction as we stepped into the snow and waded through it, making our way towards the forest.

There should only be horned wolves in this next part, so let's start her off with that…

Soon we arrived at the forest and ran into a pack of horned wolves.

"Now, how about you be a good girl and kill those things," I say, pointing at the wolves who growled at us.

I retracted my bloodlust and pressure, so the wolves weren't scared off, and the woman who I learned yesterday was named Arpious gave off no pressure or bloodlust.

I learned of her name because she began to regain some of her memories, but I quickly sealed them back before she could tell I was lying to her.

"O-Okay, but don't leave…."

"Sure,"

"D-do you promise?"

"I promise,"

Hesitantly, she unlatches from my arm and makes her way towards the wolf, her eyes growing colder by the second.

"[Unparalled Slash]," She mutters before swinging her arm to the side.

It cut the wolves in half in an instant, even denting the trees in the distance.

And once she noticed all the wolves were dead, she ran back over to me before affectionately hugging me.

"D-did I do good?"

"Of course,"

What kind of monster did I make my little sister…
