Chapter 14: Ch 13. They are claiming their land

The more I learnt about my body, the more amazed I was.

Inhuman strength.

Inhuman reflexes.

Inhuman senses.

Inhuman empathy.

Just the thought that I threw a huge guy into a wall was shocking by itself, and now that I was understanding my place in the food chain, the chances of my survival were rapidly increasing.

However…

“Erhm… Boss?”

“Um? Um!” Oh! I forgot about him!

“Stand!” The man almost jumped up.

“Poor victim of a manager…” The memories of what I had to endure for the sake of my salary were dreadful… More dreadful than being an alien queen…

“Manujeru?” I waved in dismissal.

“Business! Talk about!”

“What we need to do, again?” The man was now attentively listening.

“Take over tunnels, and protect me!”

“Aren’t you strong?” He looked at the fainted pile of muscles.

“I will become strong.”

“-er?” I nodded.

“Need time! Time! You cash me time! I make you strongest!”

“In what way exactly…?” The man was confused.

By that time, I already created a convincing (for myself) story.

“I do magic. You see magic I do! [points at the wall] I teach you magic too, but first become strong.”

The man continued looking confused, and started pondering.

“So, from what I could guess, you will need time to hone your skills?” (A)

“Honey?”

“Improve, make better, et cetera!” I nodded.

“I see… Well, it’s not like I do have options, do I? Still, how the hell do you expect us, a tiny gang, to deal with the dragons around?” (A)

“Dead.” I showed ‘cut throat’.

“Great…” (A)

“I mean, dead them! I dead them!”

“Say ‘kill’.” (A)

“Kih!”

“KILL.” (A)

“Kirr!”

‘What the f* am I supposed to do…?’ (A)

“Listen, superbrat, even if you wipe them all out, we can’t control more than those few tunnels around us!” (A)

“I kill some, the rest go to you. Then you kill more, and get more. Until conquer.” He facepalmed.

“Fine, I’ll try to manage it somehow… So, you need me to conquer the f*ing catacombs?” (A)

“Yes!”

“Anything else?” He sighed.

“Who don’t join – send down. Captive everyone. Kill few, captive many!” Once again, he was confused.

“You know what? Can’t you just freaking decide on what you want us to… F* it, we’ll just start and then we’ll see how it goes. And I’ll find somebody who’ll at least teach you to f*ing speak, because I can’t get a single f* out of what you’re blabbing! We’re clear?” (A)

“Um! See ya.” The bandit fell on his seat, and stared at the ceiling in prostration.

It took us a bit more than a week to work out whatever the hell we are even going to do.

I conveyed my desire: to capture almost every single one of the bandits, and send them to my nest for ‘scientific experiments and magic crafting’.

Obviously, the bandits didn’t welcome me with open arms, but after a few of them had their a*s handed to them by this one-punch-queen, they all obeyed unquestionably. Especially after I promised ‘rewards’.

Since I went with cultivation-like magic story to give them a goal, I will try to fool them into slowly becoming part of the hive. At least that's how it's supposed to go in the ideal world I imagined for myself.

I saw enough of the bandits to understand: there are few good people out here. Grieving over them, or trying to correct their ways is not going to work.

Only eradication.

With a personal army created for myself (less than 20 souls, most of which can’t even fight properly), I started the execution of my master plan.

The bandits and gang wars will provide me with a suitable cover to slowly grow myself, obtain a hive, and quietly lock off the tunnels from the rest of the world for myself.

Then I will live quietly and safely until my last breath 10000 years later. All surrounded by creepy crazy creatures yearning for blood.

‘Hisss!’ [‘Hear me, and obey! Go where I think I want you to go, capture everyone, and return!’]

Commanded I, from my temporary throne made of deer bones.

The two drones quietly hissed their 'Acknowledged', and disappeared in the darkness of the caves.
