"Thauma."
"From now on this will be your name."
"Do you like it?"
"…"
(Name?) – thought the puppet.
"…"
(Honestly…. I kind of don't care about it…. Is there specific reason to have a name?)
(Hm…. Well…. She for some reasons seems eager about it…. Maybe…. I should accept it?)
"…"
"OK" – the puppet written down.
"Great! Then officially, "Thauma" is your name."
"…"
"By the way, you like my dress?"
"?" – the puppet stared confused.
"Thought so." – said the woman before moments later forming a black cannon around herself, before moments later breaking it apart, revealing a change of clothes that looked nothing like to her beautiful dress.
Instead of beautiful dress the woman was now just wearing very normal and very common clothing, a type of clothing that didn't really cared about appearance once bit and were only focus on the comfort.
"?"
"Oh, well…. I've kind of just wore this dress as 'first impression' and stuff, but you don't really know what 'sex appeal' is yet, right? So honestly, I don't really thought this out… Seriously… What the fuck I thought it was a good idea to go with this thing?"
"…"
"And I kind of don't like wearing this dress when it's not… Formal."
"These cloths are more durable and easier to wear."
"…"
"Anyway, enough of the clothes."
"For now how about we do something interesting?"
"How about we play a little and simple game of questions?"
"We will be taking turn, asking each other questions."
"You want to know something from me, right?"
"But I also want to know something from you…. So, how does that little game sounds?"
"Maybe this will give you some motivation about life?"
"…"
(She knows…. She knows a lot…. And I want to ask a lot of questions…. Honestly, there is really no use hiding anything, since she could just had forced me.) – thought the golem.
(Maybe she could had used that power that made the adventures back then turn on each other? Does that ability allow her to control other beings?)
(Then why she didn't used it on me?)
"…"
"OK" – the puppet written down.
"Excellent!" – said the demonic woman.
"Then let me start."
"My first question."
"How did you learned golem crafting? Did somebody taught you? Or maybe did you discovered it all by yourself?"
"…"
"BY MYSELF" – asked puppet.
"Really?" - replied the demoness.
"Then what was the hardest part?"
"EVERYTHING"
"?"
"Em… So, was there like order? For example, some things are now easier?" – asked Ariava.
"…"
"CODING"
"BODY"
"THEN BODY AND CODING AS I STARTED CRAFTING"
"HARD"
"Uhu… But you know how to, right?"
"I DO"
"BUT HARDER NOW"
"USED BEFORE WEAK"
"AFTER CHANGE I STRUGLED"
(….)
(His response…. Seems good…. From what I know, when it comes to creating golems, the problems are basic coding….Oh, I see.) – thought the demonic woman.
(Those first puppets that were recorded.)
"Say, do you have some of these weaker puppets laying around? The ones that you used at the start?"
"…."
"I DO"
"Nice. Then can you show me them?"
"OK"
Dungeon master brought out the wooden mannequin alongside human mannequin to the demonic woman, before moments later they were ordered to move around and make different actions.
"…"
(They are simple… In every single way.)
(But I guess they were great practice dummies thanks to that.)
"…"
(But something doesn't add up.)
(The dungeon was supposable active for around 6 months before the raid had happened…. At top the dungeon was undiscovered between 1-3 weeks…. Nah. 2 maybe top. Because of the dungeon break regarding an undead dungeon that was in the area.)
(…. Ah… Wait.)
(This is right. This guy isn't a living being.)
(Dungeon master bodies are "alive" from get go. So, they need to sleep and eat…. But this guy is a golem!)
(He doesn't need to either eat or sleep, meaning that he can spend all of his time researching golems!)
(This also explains why the movements of three upgraded golems were so basic.)
"…"
(This guy is…. Both genius and hard worker when it comes to golem crafting…. Nobody had taught him anything…. It was all him.)
"…"
"Welp, your turn."
"What is your question?"
"…"
"WHAT ARE YOU"
"?"
"You mean, what kind of being I'm?"
"YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN"
"Nope. I'm not."
"I'm…. Well, I'm many things, if I'm being honest."
"…."
"Okay. This will really take a long time, and this is just a nutshell version of me and my back story."
"I've kind of need to tell you this long version in order for you to understand what kind of being I'm…. No problem with that?"
"…"
"NO"
"Good…. Well then let's start with the most obvious fact that I'm not a human."
"I'm something of a hybrid."
"Hybrids are beings that combination of two or more different species into one."
"For example a human and elf."
"If they mated, they could possible give birth to a race known as "half elf", that is both a half human and half elf."
"I'm… Something similar."
"I'm an both a succubus and vampire."
"My father was an pure blooded vampire."
"Vampires are beings that are… Special in a way."
"They are monsters of a night."
"They can appear with an appearance of a human, but in reality they are not."
"The vampires possess multiple traits such as inhuman strength and regenerative ability."
"They also need to consume blood in order to survive or to boost their own power."
"Vampires can give birth to other vampires."
"BUT! They can also infect other beings, turning them into vampire offspring that would have an ability to turn into proper vampire."
"For example, human can be turned by the vampire into vampire human."
"And as for my mother, the one who gave birth to me, she was a succubus."
"Succubi are the demons of lust."
"They feed off the pleasure."
"When it boils down to succubi , their birth mechanic is… Unique in the way."
"Simple put, the succubus can chose your race."
"In order words, if succubus had sex with a human, the succubus in question, the mother, she can manipulate the birth of her offspring, deciding if it would be a human or succubus. She can also decide the gender."
"However, it cannot be used to make hybrids, like half human, half succubus."
"They can either chose option A or B…..."
"Well, technically speaking, it is far more complicated than that, especially with mid and high ranking succubuses, since they do have some abilities related to…. Never mind. Explaining that part will take extremely long amount of time."
"Let's just focus on the thing about only choices being A or B right now."
"This ability that all succubus have and even though my mother was low ranking succubus, she could still use that ability…. She should 'had' …. But there was…. Abnormality called me."
"You see, when I said that you can be either vampire or normal human when born from vampire, alongside the fact that you can be either succubus or normal human from succubus mother…. Both of these races don't have in between."
"…"
"But sometimes among vampires… There are exceptions."
"When the blood of vampire is able to infect their partner and dominate the blood, the child would be vampire."
"But if it is resisted, the child would be like the other partner, for example human if the mother was for example human."
"But what if the blood of the vampire is both resisted and infected with their partner blood?"
"Fusing in harmony…. Giving birth to the between that shouldn't be possible."
"Dhampir."
"This is a special race of vampire that are extremely rare in the world."
"And they are… Also, extremely dangerous."
"Normally when you think about hybrid, you would think that it would be good at side A and side B… But it wouldn't be as good as pure breed side A."
"However, the dhampir?"
"They are a complete 100% and 100% of both parental sides."
"I'm both a 100% succubus and 100% vampire. I'm BOTH the succubus and vampire, not a 50/50 or anything like that, no."
"I'm pure 100% and 100%."
"However, because of how perfect dhampirs are as hybrids, they are often discriminated, by both races."
"Especially by the vampires."
"They say that they are disgusted with my kind, but that is opposite."
"They fear us."
"Vampires fears dhampirs."
"So, you could see how my father would despise me as soon as I was born."
"As for my mother? She was a nobody."
"A prostitute succubus."
"She wasn't anybody strong or special."
"She wasn't a leader or anything."
"Just straight up nobody."
"…. But she was a nobody that wanted just one extremely simple thing."
"Family."
"So, she wanted to have the costumer to impregnate her in order to give birth to her daughter."
"She wanted to have the next costumer she serv impregnate her so she could start up her own family."
"She didn't cared who the father was, she just wanted to have a daughter."
"A sweet…. Yet naïve dream…. But extremely simple to fulfil to any succubus."
"She was a whore and she was used by the people."
"She was also charming, so there was no way she wouldn't get pregnant."
"It was a simple plan that had no chance at failing…. Right?"
"However…. The next costumer turned out to be a scum."
"A scum that ruined her life."
"My father."
"He had his own family and he even had a son…."
"He wanted his son to have his personal butler, around his age…. But he didn't wanted the butler to be too weak."
"He wanted a meat shield that would keep his son safe and keep him company. A servant that will be bound to him to his entire life."
"So, he want and tried having one of the succubuses impregnated in order to give birth to his "LESSER CHILD" as he called it in order to get the butler."
"…. And that is how he and my mother meet."
"And instantly, a conflict happened."
"She said that she wanted to give birth to a daughter, while the father wanted his "lesser child" servant."
"Obvious, both of them could go their separated ways and just find different partners to fulfil their goals."
"Father could just take any other random succubus, since he didn't cared who gave birth to his 'lesser child' and mother could just had the very next costumer impregnate her."
"That would be the simplest and most logical way of doing things."
"…"
"But my father?"
"He was an over prideful scum."
"He wanted to be big man wearing oversized pants."
"He was so prideful that he couldn't handle some lowly nobody succubus to just 'look down on him"'…. So, he forced her."
"He raped her, impregnating her and then just threw her into dungeon. Not like this dungeon, but instead a prison, a building underground kind of thing he had for himself underneath his own mansion."
"But obviously impregnating her wouldn't do a thing, since again, succubus have ability to choose their child race and gender."
"…"
"So he implanted her with a cursed crest that he had his sadistic servant made."
"That crest…. It was a curse that would negate succubus ability to choose gender and sex, while also forcing the child to be a vampire no matter what."
"Whenever she would try to use her natural succubus power, the crest would activate, straight up torturing her and making sure that the child will be of the specific design."
"And to make matters worse, that bastard wanted her to suffer even if she didn't resisted… So, the crest even when not attacking her to prevent her from controlling pregnancy, it would still occasionally just torturer her at random times…. Why? For 'fun'. Nothing less nothing more. He just wanted to make her scream in pain because she just said 'no' to him."
"It was a pure torture. A stupid one without any good reason really."
"He wanted to make her sufferer before then giving birth to his 'lesser child' …. And you know he planned next?"
"He said that he would raise the child and have it kill her with its own two hands."
"He was a sadist…. Pretty unstable one at that."
"A scum back that you just want to rip off his balls and them just fed them. He was that kind of shit."
"He may had been a low-ranking vampire just as my mother, but because he had a 'pure vampire blood', he thought of himself as the big shot."
"As a god."
"And my mother?"
"He saw nothing more as playing in a form of a pet."
"…"
"…"
"But my mother... She…. She was stupid."
"She did not gave up."
"She tried to manipulate her birth using succubus natural ability."
"But obviously the cursed crest would not her and instead would torture her whenever she would try to do anything while also trying to forcefully make the child the vampire…. But she did not gave up."
"She wanted her own child… Pathetic really…. The crest would tortured her to the point where you would want to just bite your tongue to end the suffering…. But she stubbornly clenched to her idea of "happy family" …. She was completely mad and stupid… Hell! Her way of thinking was completely stupid, but she just screwed it all because she wanted a daughter."
"Her body was being thorn from inside out by the curse…. But she was able to somewhat negate the curse effect."
"But only somewhat…. This caused both succubus and vampire sides to clash and fuse because of both the curse and my mother madness."
"And there I was, a succubus dhampir."
"A race that should not exist."
"Succubus cannot give birth to the hybrids, they have no physical ability to do so."
"And there is also the case regarding the vampire blood, it is either partner race or vampire race in that case."
"Dhampir is also there, but they are RARE cases."
"BUT! Again! Succubuses cannot give birth to hybrid races."
"A rare hybrid between partner and the vampire."
"And the fact that succubuses cannot give birth to the hybrid races."
"One is a rare option C."
"While the other, for the succubuses, that option C shouldn't exist."
"And it is not like having one partner be a vampire would be a different!"
"NO!"
"That option C for the vampires is straight up deleted right on the spot because of the succubus side! The Dhampir should have 0% chance of having been born!"
"Logic, reason, theories, knowledge and what not."
"It all point to single answer."
"No."
"The vampire and the succubus should not have any physical ability to create a hybrid."
"It is not like the chances were like miracle level, it was just like they weren't there."
"Either option A or B! Vampire or succubus!"
"A flip of a coin."
"That was it. Just a coin that had only 2 possible options. Head of tails. Succubus or vampire."
"I could go all over the theories and what not."
"But no matter what I would speak."
"No matter what sort of story I would talk about for hours."
"The answer would still be no."
"…"
"BUT FUCK ME! LOOK AT ME! I shouldn't had been even born as one!"
"And yet…. And yet and yet and yet AND YET!"
"Somehow, the impossible happened. I'm the motherfucking option C that shouldn't be even available! The third side of the coin that isn't even there! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"SO! What am I? Something that shouldn't have ability to be physically born?"
"An abnormality."
"Something that shouldn't had even any chances to be born. That is what I'm."
"….Honestly, there was only one explanation for it."
"The cursed seal that was trying to force the birth results."
"And my mother succubus natural ability to decide who I would be."
"A clash between these two."
"That would be the only logical explanation."
"I mean, those are the only two factors that were in the play, so is there any real need for theorizing about this?"
"The clash of these two factors may ended up giving a birth to the possibility… Which in turn caused me to be born as this."
"A mutation?"
"A evolution?
"Adaption?"
"Who knows?"
"I have few good theories and maybe the answer to that, but I want to keep this story short, even though I was already speaking for some time now."
"…"
"…"
"Afterworlds my mother managed to successfully give birth to me, she managed to trick one of the stupid guards, which honestly this alone should had been impossible, but I guess that shitty bastard had also shitty servants working for him, since the woman who just gave birth to the child, managed to fucking escape his prison and fucking soldiers he sent."
"She somehow miraculously escaped, while carrying the newborn me to the safety."
"…"
"This is what I'm."
"A race that shouldn't exist."
"A hybrid that should not exist."
"I'm going to say it straight…. My race combination isn't really… Special.... Well. It is extremely special…. But there is…"
"…"
"There is massive problem that cannot be ignored no matter what."
"Cursed."
"My entire being was cursed the moment I came to life."
"?"
"CURSED" – asked Thauma.
"Yeb…. Cursed." – replied Ariava.
"Succubuses are demons of lust. The lust is just in their nature."
"And the vampires? They say they are beings of pride…. But this is just plain lie."
"They are also beings of lust."
"You would think that lust from both of these races in me would be a good thing, since I'm a perfect 100% succubus and 100% vampire hybrid and not some 50/50 version. I was a real 100/100 version…. But this is far from it…. No if anything, IT WAS WORSE POSSIBLE COMBINATION EVER!"
"The lust from both of my sides…. The sexual lust and lust for blood… It was… Mixed up…. Fused… Unstable…. Too unstable to the point it couldn't be controlled."
"When the vampires are too lustful for blood they would just go and drink the nearest thing with blood dry."
"While succubus would just rape somebody, turning them into nothing more than sexual tool."
"I did felt sometimes that some of my sides were stronger, probably because I was 2 beings of lust in once."
"Sometimes my succubus side was stronger."
"Sometimes my vampire side was stronger."
"And their lust would affect me more than average vampire or succubus of my age."
"Usually I was able to contain the lusts from both of my sides, since I was forced to adapt against my will…. Even in some painful and torturing ways."
"Well, it was way harder for me compare to any regular young vampires and succubus, but I was managing….However…. However…. When they would mix…. Even a little bit of succubus lust and vampire lust, even little FUCKING bit…. It wouldn't be just some plain lust."
"Nah….Nah. Nah! NAH!"
"It wasn't gluttony or lust or anything like fucking sin related."
"Nah. IT WAS BORN FROM LUST, BUT IT WASN'T LUST ITSELF!"
"Or more exactly…. It was both LUST and at the same it WASN'T LUST."
"Madness."
"Just fucking madness."
"…"
"It was 'FERALITY'."
"I became animal… Nope… It is better to say a beast."
"The lust of succubus and vampire side combined enchanted each other, creating an unholy lust one may say."
"And what do you think would happened if good amount of lust from both sides would mix together? Like proportion? How much of 'animal' I would become if I were to receive a huge amount of lust from both my lustful sides at once and if they were to mix with each other."
"How mad would that ferality be?"
"The answer isn't really complicated… Or it is, since I'm quiet special."
"I've just turned into animal that did not have any control over anything."
"I've was just… "Destroying" everything around me while also destroying myself at the same time."
"THAT was when I was truly a mindless animal that did not possessed any reason at all."
"This beastly lust… But at the same time, just a beast…. A lust and without lust….Monster."
"The curse of carrying the blood of the vampire and succubus at the same time."
"…"
"And what to hear the fucking funny reason?"
"This fucking stupid fertility what gotten my mother killed."
"… I've killed her… I tore her apart like animal...Ha...Hahahaha…. I remember it clearly as I've regained my mind after I've had murdered her…."
"She tried saving me! She tried talking to me!"
"But I was too far gone back then!" – the woman laughed like manic, while describing how she murdered her mother, describing how she broke down, cried and begged her mother to come back to life while being covered head to toes in her blood… She described the full madness, full despair she experience back then.
"Her corpse, ripped apart and me just standing on top of her bloody remains that could not be even called a corpse."
"I just straight up DESTORYED them that much!"
"Pure fucking monster…. A cursed child that shouldn't had been born."
"That what I was…Ha…. Yeah…. Hahahaha…. Back then I was really nothing more than animal that just murdered her own parent, the only person who cared about them… And then just laugh like madman as the despair took over… Hahahahah…."
"…"
"I've managed to keep in control my lust and pretty much I won't ever go berserk without losing all reason…. But I guess it does not matter since by the looks of things I've had lost my mind ages ago because how fucked up I become over time! And it may not have to do anything with that mad lust!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"…"
"And this is pretty much me."
"Just some crazy bitch!"
"I've managed to deal with my ferality, so it won't be ever problem, even if both my sides were to scream in agony of lust, I would not be bothered one bit…."
"But again…. I think I somewhat already lost my mind already in some areas."
"…"
"Anyway, your turn."
"What is your second question?" – asked the woman non chelates, as if the talk about her story and her murder her own mother didn't just happened. Even the tone of her voice wasn't sad or negative in any way…. No. If anything, she smiled at the golem when asking about the second question.
"…"
"…"
"WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO WITH ME"
"…"
"You are asking again about your fate?"
"What? Do you still don't trust me?"
"If anything, I shouldn't be trusting you, since you kind of attacked me when you went berserk."
"…"
"Anyway, what I will do with you? Nothing really."
"After I'm somewhat done with teaching you, I will just leave you alone, maybe in future I will come back, see how you do and everything."
"I've also gave you some room to breathe…. Well, I've told you that when you couldn't understand me before, but I think it is better if I tell you this now."
"Your dungeon is located in a forest."
"And right next to this forest is a town settlement called Rabbit town."
"The adventurers that came here were from there…. But you don't need to worry about them coming here any longer."
"I've completely destroyed the entire town and killed every single person in it."
"Well, probably people will blame you, thinking that you far more dangerous and may send an elite army of soldiers that are beyond you in order to exterminate you."
"But that won't happened."
"Why is that?"
"Oh, nothing much."
"A war may happened."
"…"
"You don't know what kingdom is…. Right? And town, village and city…. Wow…. I really have a lot of explaining to do."
"Yea…. I will explain this in details later, so need to ask, but for now I will tell you this."
"Two kingdoms."
"One that is connected to the Rabbit Town and the other kingdom…. Well, they don't like each other."
"Honestly, tension between the two kingdoms are high and it may look like there would be an war in near future."
"So, to make it look like it was not your doing at all, I've made it look like soldiers raided the town and destroyed it to the ground."
"I've also made it look like the mayor of the town was in cahoots with the hostile kingdom, but they decided to kill him since they wanted to get rid of loose ends."
"This will give you sometime to prepare, since people don't know if this area is safe or not."
"But they will come back."
"So, until they come back, you will have to focus on getting stronger."
"I don't really know if you want to be violent or peaceful, but pretty much you need a strength to survive."
"This is pretty much the course of action."
"I won't enslave you or anything, I will just leave you after teaching you stuff."
"…"
(She will just…. Leave?) – thought the dungeon master.
(But! She knows! She knows a lot! She can teach me a lot! She can show me!)
(She can maybe help me understand…. Me….)
"…"
"DON'T GO" – the puppet written down.
"!"
"Heh. Growing attached only now, are we?" – asked the woman while smiling.
"…"
"Well, don't worry. I've got to teach you a lot before I decide to leave."
"But for now, lets continue our little game."
"We both have a lot of questions left, don't we?"
