The Evolving Stealth System Chapter 59: Leftovers

"Dead… how did you die?"

"Uhm…. she died a long time ago… I'm Leas… the leftovers…" Levana pushed Wormy away from her chest, and stared at Wormy with a scowl on her face…

"However, she told me to find you and protect you ugly people from doing something stupid, so… did you think Wormy's mother would be okay letting him go into a warzone?!" She squinted evilly as Wormy returned for another hug, and… this was clearly Levana…

Duncan didn't understand why she wanted to change her name, but... so... what should he call her?

Did Leas sound better to Levana, and... was that really a fire he saw in the distance?

He found himself amazed starring at that fire, and... Levana pushed Wormy away from her body....

"Uhm… I'll call you Leva if that's okay...?" Duncan waved her over to the deserted village campfire as Levana pondered his question with Wormy hanging around her body…

She'd spent her entire demon life as Levana…

However, now she was a flesh puppet, and… Wormy gave her another hug as she felt warmth against her skin…

There wasn't much of a difference between a well-made flesh puppet and a demon… It came down to the time, care, and energy put into the flesh creation method, so she should feel satisfied to be alive after the tragedy that killed her entire family… Hence, she looked at Duncan with a sideways glance as he passed her some food he found around that same fire…

She didn't want to remember that horrible night…

There burned a huge fire in the sects main dining hall, her attackers ate on top of her bleeding body as her family screamed under their swords, and Duncan was almost as ugly as her attackers from that horrific night…

They were really, profoundly ugly men that the demon god controlled, and… she ate the left over food as Duncan interrupted her train of thought…

"So… I take it your past sucked?" Duncan's one redeeming quality had been his ability to read people, and… Phoenix sat right next to Levana…

Phoenix appeared to be in corpse explosion range, he winked a few times to make that known, and Wormy muttered "doom!" over and over as she started crying…

"I-I… I lost everyone…. EVERYTHING… because… ugh… Wormy stop hugging me!"

"Anyway… my uncle died because of the demon god election battle, so… if you were part of one of the lineages of a candidate the new demon god killed all future competitors from your line… My entire family died in front of my eyes because of the demon god, my brother bled away into eternity, and… that stupid LICH didn't save my mother!" Levana heaved and huffed and kicked away Phoenix…

Obviously, she knew Duncan was a necromancer with corpse explosion, and Phoenix hit one of the tents…

As he did, some of the tribal hobgoblins arrived back from their hunt to their taken fire, and… did their guests really have to eat their food?

[Ding! Host appears to be surrounded by fifteen Garvin tribesmen hobgoblins, so system must also mention that host may soon be able to learn the flesh creation skill…]

[Flesh creation will allow host to create flesh puppets, and… host has apparently pissed off Levana by not listening…]

"Ah… sorry Levana… I had a past life before, and it hurt to hear your story…" He sat closer to her and Phoenix winked behind her back…

He felt his master had entered a perilous situation…

He prepared to use his use his body for sacrifice, and Wormy came back with a few treasures…

When did he even get a chance to look for treasure!

However, he didn't give the shining jewel to Duncan, and… the hobgoblins arrived screaming with unbearable anger…

"You ate our food!"

"We shall make you pay!"

Wormy walked up to the hobgoblins and held out the jewel in his hands…

"Doom?"

They looked down at him curiously before he exploded….

Their blood and guts mixed in with Levana's smile, so Duncan sighed looking at the system's message…

[Ding! Host has killed 14 garvin ice hobgoblins and has acquired 14 / 15 strands of their bloodline…]
