The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"So you are a stranger!?" Fuhua leapt to her feet and reached for her sword which usually lay on her side, but when her hand hit her hip a feeling of dread eclipsed her heart and she hugged herself. "What is this?" The woman asked.

"For some reason, a majority of my powers are suppressed here, I wasted a lot of time healing your injuries, woman," Sol sighed and crossed his legs gesturing to her blouse on the ground next to him and then at her hugging herself again.

"Luckily for you, I had some medicine on me, I applied them to your wounds." He lied to her face.

"As if; as soon as I emerged on the other side I was attacked by a sentient storm, then as soon as I got out of that freakshow I ran into the hostile presence of a Primordial Deity so I suppressed my mana, you don't need to know this though." He hummed to himself in thought while a trickle of sweat rolled down his jawline.

"So?" Sol opened his eyes and glanced her way again. "Where am I?" He asked once more.

"How dare you undress a maiden while she is unconscious-"

"Would you prefer I do it while you are awake?" Sol snapped at her annoyed. "Just answer my question, girl, what is this place, and what was that storm earlier?" Sol huffed, gesturing to the entrance of the cave highlighted by the tiniest rays of sunlight being allowed passage by the fading thunderclouds of the Everstorm.

"I was undressed by a stranger-"

"I saved your life!" Sol slapped his forehead. "Obviously, you're not in charge of anything, can you take me to someone with some authority?"

"What?" Fuhua raised her head, holding on to the T-shirt he had put on her and hugging herself over it. "Someone with authority...?"

"Yes, a leader, I couldn't find a soul no matter what direction I looked in, just corpses, where is everyone else, how did you ed up on a deserted island?" Sol asked again, then slowed and narrowed his eyes when he witnessed the woman's earlier liveliness vaporise. "Are you the only one left?"

"My clan was wiped out, I am the only remaining ember of the Everstorm Clan," Fuhua replied solemnly, taking a deep breath before checking her neck for the pendant her senior had given her to remember them by.

"This?" Sol raised his hand, dangling the pendant by a cord he'd made. "You dropped it on the ground when I was taking carrying you here-"

"Give that to me."

"Answer my questions first," Sol raised a brow. "You are being incredibly unthankful amd uncooperative for someone who was just saved, aren't you?" He stared at Fuhua while Jena observed her hidden on the other side of the cave.

"That is because I do not trust you, a tranger who does not even know what the Everstorm Pass is!" She snapped at him and then carefully crouched, realising that there was not a shred of pain anywhere on her body. "You... healed me, how?" Fuhua asked.

"Anything yet?"

Sol asked, looking beyond Fuhua at Jena, but the girl shook her head with a disappointed stare.

[I have no access to her biology, I cannot even pull up something as simple as her name, whatever this mana is that she has coursing through her body, it is acting as a shield to the System, the only thing I am sure of is that she is Celestial in strength with a completely different mana makeup than yours, this Collective is not going to be easy to conquer].

Jena responded in his head, and Sol sighed once more tossing the pendant at the woman while Jena disappeared from sight returning back to his soul.

"I have no intention of conquering anywhere here, Jema."

"I didn't touch you other than to heal your wounds and the burn that was on your back, I needed to remove your clothing to do that," Sol watched her catch the ornament with a longing expression and hug it to herself. "I wasn't going to dress you in the same torn up clothes and I am short on mana for the time being, so I used my own clothes to dress you after I treated and wrapped your wounds." He explained.

"But you saw me bare..."

"I don;t actually care, it's not like you're some kind of princess of a pavilion or something, you're just a random girl I met who has lost her people." He harshly critiqued her. "Don't flattter yourself, I am not interested in that flat body of yours."

"F-f-flat!?" Fuhua gasped, hugging herself tighter. "So you did ogle me, you bastard-"

"Stop fucking around." Sol abruptly stood and began walking towards her. "I have questions that I need answered, if you're some kind of bumpkin just say so, I don't have the time nor the patience to be here in this pointless back and forth with you!" He raised his hand and her sword in the corner raced over to him, unsheathed and aimed at her chest.

"Evil man, will you have your way with-"

"I don't have the least bit of attraction to you, woman," Sol ground his teeth. "If you don't start giving me a reason to keep you alive, I will make sure you meet your people sooner than you expected." He threatened her, pressing the tip of her sword to her neck and drawing blood.

"I would rather-"

"If you press his pathence he will kill you for real," Jena sighed, holding Sol's hand and tugging him while Fuhua who hadn't seen or sensed the little girl stared shocked that she had so easily been snuck upon.

"He does not have the eyes of a killer," Fuhua smirked. "Besides, I have nothing left to live for, so go ahead, test me, uncle!" She took a step toward the blade expecting Sol to withdraw his hand, but instead he ran the blade right through her neck and bedded it in the cave rick behind her.

"Well then, I think there was some kind of misunderstanding because I saved your life," Sol rested his finger against her abdomen while she was standing. "If you try to move, this weapon will sever your artery and you will bleed out, so let's start over, shall we?"

Sol took her hand and held it carefully. "Use your index finger to answer me, one tap for yes, and two taps for no, anything else and I will drag you off the blade myself." He warned her and immediately she tapped his hand once with her finger while tears of fear began rolling down her cheeks.

"Are you truly the last member of your clan?" He asked, recieving one tap.

"Do you know where we are?"

*Tap.

"Do you want to live?"

*Tap. Explore more adventures at empire

"I want to release you, will you behave and comply?" Sol narrowed his eyes at her and the woman opened her mouth to beg, but saw the light of murder flash in his eyes and reconsidered immediately, tapping once and sobbing. "Good," He sighed, grabbing the handle of the sword, pulling it out carefully and leaving it in her grasp while she held her throat with her other hand, shaking before him.

"Stand upright," He ordered her and she complied without a word of protest.

[Condensing Heal into a physical liquid].

"Drink this," Sol used his nail to slit his finger and then raised his hand above her head, allowing a single drop of his blood to reveal itself. "My blood will heal you."

"What?" Fuhua asked, staring at his blood incredulously. "Why is it golden?"

"Just do as I say," He grabbed her by the back of her head and dragged her backwards allowing the droplet to fall directly into her mouth. "I don't want to, but if you keep being a annoying I will leave you here for dead."

Her eyes slowly widened, his blood tasted like a nectar; a foundation building nectar, and the burning she was feeling in her neck disappeared as soon as it touched the back of her throat, after she had calmed, Sol hummed and released her again, looking at Jena who shared a smile with him and then looked at the woman again.

"What do you need to know?"

"Tell me your name first."

"Were you not in some kind of hurry?" She retorted, but with him right before her she sink beneath his gaze, releasing her blade to the ground and holding down the sides of the shirt she was wearing with her eyes locked on his feet. "I am Fuhua, uncle." She obeyed him shily.

"Don't call me uncle just because the child does, do I look that old to you?" Sol raised a brow and she winced beneath him.

"My apologies."

"If you must address him, Master is a fitting title," Jena suggested, and Fuhua nodded in thanks for the tip and then raised her eyes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I will answer everything honestly, Master..."

"Vestic," He revealed his name, turning his back and walking over to the other side of the small cave while Jena picked up her clothes and went to another side away from the two of them.

"My name is Sol Vestic."
