Mana: Before The Rise 104 A Price To Be Paid

He was a young man, he looked princely, it was obvious. Then he was an ent.i.tled character; Rachel gave him an irritated look.

The young man looked at her and was taken aback by the glare and looked around confused and seemingly not understanding what's going on. As she looked at Rachel.

"Women, I demand you to-"

Smack the young man was. .h.i.t to the side, by Rachel's darkness. "You should already know that you are not back in your country. You have no authority over me."

Prince Teodoro Salgado Medeiros, he comes from a world where, men where dominate. No surprise, but it was a world filled with a power known as Metra that can only be used by men. Women were powerless and considered to be just as is child-bearers.

The world is pretty like 'Some say I was Born a King's daughter'

He is the Second Prince of the Medeiros family, although less than his older brother, male lead, crown prince Lorenzo. He is the example of pride and ent.i.tlement, Afterall he had everything he wanted except for the throne.

He was jealous of his older brother and did everything he could to up show his brother, but it never went any further. That was when he saw the opportunity in the young sheltered Princess of an isolated Island nation, ruled by a woman.

His country had gone to war with the nation for its resources and had kidnapped the young princess. They thought little of the nation since it was ruled by a woman but resorted to kidnapping when they realized they weren't winning. The rest of the countries were mocking them for losing to a woman. This hurts their pride even more.

This story played out like Romeo and Juliet, but only the male lead died at the end. Now in this country, the concept of 'love' doesn't really exist.

The Male lead, Lorenzo and female lead fell in love at first sight. The male lead was told by his father to watch after the princess since she was leverage against the island nation. As a result the pair quickly formed a bond of love.

Teodoro who was always trying to upstage his older brother saw this and tried to take the young sheltered princess by force multiple times only to fail as his older brother had stopped him. Eventually, like a child, he complained to his father and his father questioned the male lead in the end punis.h.i.+ng him and taking his t.i.tle as crown prince away from him and giving it and the princess to Teodoro.

Because his oldest son had the audacity to care for the young women.

In the end a large confrontation happed leading to Teodoro to having his hand cut of from trying to violate the princess in front of him. His father seeing this didn't give any mercy as he killed his oldest son, the male lead.

The King had plenty of others son and killing one that gone astray, was fine with him.

The Princess who had seen her lover killed had gone crazy. Her powers activated and the light was coming out from her body like a blazing sun surprising everyone including the king.

Of course, the island nation ruled by women was going to be weak, the notion was filled with magic-user, not Metra users. Men had Metra and Women had magic, but because the use of Metra and Magic were different. The male gender didn't think women had any power.

So the king who was obviously pale got his calling. Turns out the princess wasn't a princess at all but the Queen and ruler of the island nation. In falling in love, at first sight, she aloud herself to get kidnapped and almost violated to pursue him.

It was her carelessness that made her think that the king wouldn't kill his son.

In her rage, the entire country and its people were burned to a crisp. It wasn't just burned after that it was destroyed land and all. Effectively turning the country into a dead sea.

Now that's girl power.

"You wench, how dare disrespects a prince of the Haile Kingdom."

"I wonder what top was thinking, how could they approve of a train wreck like you. Whatever your wishes it is rejected like all the other G.o.ds before me." Rachel waved her hand and a dark scary portal opened in from below him. As he disappeared, into but not before screaming at Rachel.

Rachel was livid at just reading about that guy, she was the last G.o.d quality to grant his wish as such if even she rejected him, he would be sent to task takers. And if even they refused his soul would either be destroyed or sent back t the wheel of reincarnation or become a task taker himself.

Whatever happens, she really doesn't care.

After a few moments, another shows up this time it is a young woman she remarkably calm and just plain sad. Rachel read her story.

Ivete Quintana, she had lived multiple lives in a single world. She was a second female lead, the main lead was also continuously reincarnated with her although they were without memory. She was the only one who remembered.

Her lives were filled with continuous suffering, she had more than a thousand lives filled with continuous suffering and her life being cut short.

The male lead was always her lover first and each time she fell for him, each time she saw him fall in love with someone else. Each time she becomes a victim of misunderstanding and each time she ruthlessly tosses away. Ivete always wholeheartedly love the male lead but was also tired of being thrown away, in some of her life she would leave him first. But her, in the end, would fight to gain her back and then toss her away.

The cycle had continuously repeated until one day the main lead realize they are each other lovers in their past lives. They don't have every memory but enough to get the gist of this.

When they did they took no time in getting rid of her, in their opinion, their misfortune in their past lives was caused by her, not true but they still blamed.

She accepted death and the scorn of the person she loved. She was tired of this one-sided love, she was tired of this one-sided cycle of death. She just wanted her heart to start bleeding.

Rachel frowned; she couldn't understand what wish of hers. Made the other G.o.ds pa.s.s on hers, it was simple for them to do. Then something she read at the bottom gave her a surprise.

She looked at the younger women sadly. "Young lady what is that you wish for?"

Ivete's tired eyes looked up with a slight smile "I wish for my soul to be destroyed and to never reincarnated again."

Nope, simply wasn't simple enough. Destroying a soul is looked down upon a lot and can even be considered breaking a law. That's why the G.o.d's pa.s.sed on her they didn't want to grant her wish.

"That's unfortunate and impossible." Rachel told her, Ivette's shoulder dropped and sagged even more. "However, there are two different options I can give."

"What options would that be?" she said unenthusiastically.

"You have near almost over 10,000 years' worth of memory. You qualify as a task taker and will be giving a very powerful start as one. "

"What's is a Task taker?" she said lightly holding herself together.

"A being who, travels worlds and completes task for other souls who have misfortune in their lives. You would be going to those other worlds to help them."

"….." The girl looked down and back up "The other option"

"It would be to give your soul to me to purify, and become my servant. A higher power has your soul blocked from the wheel of reincarnation. As a result, your choices have become limited."

"What do you mean by being your servant and purifying my soul."

"I would be disconnecting your memories and clearing your soul of impurities. You would become my servant, without memories of your previous lives. Though the new you would be aware of them, you would feel this disconnect with them."

"..." Ivette looks up and down "Can I choose that option."

"You don't want to be a task-taker, to help others like you?"

"No, though this may be selfish. I can do it, if what you say about take-takers is true then they help others achieve better lives. I never lived good in the first place and I don't think I can stand doing so for others."
