Overlord Intro Part 2: The Moon, XVIII

You walked around your desk, approaching Loona. She took up a fighting stance, balling her hands into fists, and rooting her feet to the ground. You tried to copy her. The moment you did, Loona spun around, kicking you square in the chest. You were sent flying across the room, and crashed into the wall next the front entrance of I.M.P. The sound that was produced could be heard throughout the building.

Your back instantly flooded with pain, and you collapsed to the ground. You had gotten the wind knocked out of you, and you were struggling to fill your lungs with air. You squirmed there, looking up at Loona, shocked.

Her eyes were large red saucers, but once she saw that you were resembling something close to okay, she started laughing her ass off. She doubled over, bracing herself against her knees. You gave a weak smile.

She was still laughing when Blitzø came barging out of his office.

"Who the FUCK is breaking my walls again!? I swear to Satan, I don't care who it is, I'll blow the brains out of the next fucker who—"

Blitzø saw you collapsed on the floor, and Loona standing over you, who was still cackling like a madwoman. He turned back around and walked into his office, calling back:

"Good job, honey! Just make sure they can still answer the phone when you're done with them!"

He closed the door. Blitzø's reaction caused Loona to laugh even harder. She was able to compose herself eventually, though. She walked over to you, and helped you up.

"Oh, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. You suck at this. Serves you right for trying to rub elbows with the worst of 'em."

Loona then looked around the office, and proceeded to tap her foot, thinking.

"We're gonna need a bigger space if I'm gonna kick your ass every day..."

After brainstorming some ideas with Loona, you decided that just asking to use Stolas's garden was good enough. You called him, and he was delighted to share his resources with you. He was in need of good company, and decided helping you two out was a good way to do that. He also said it was a way to connect more with Blitzø, helping out I.M.P. as he was. Loona laughed, and commented that seeing you beaten would be a good source of entertainment for him. You groaned, but were glad that Loona was still on board with helping you out.

Stolas provided you with a large open area outside, in his garden where you could train with Loona. The owl demon had laid out a lawn chair, and relaxed while he witnessed the ordeal. Loona started out slower this time, as you were still getting used to moving quickly in your body. She gradually sped up as you continued, until she was almost unbearably fast. At work, you had known her to be violent, but you found out here that she was holding a lot back there. You had initially been surprised by the strength granted to you in your Hellhound body, and that helped you tank some of her attacks, but that was nothing compared to Loona's. She used the event as an outlet for her anger, and you were punished severely for it. Her first lesson had you healing for about a week, answering calls at I.M.P. with bruises and sores all over.

After a while, you were back at Stolas's for round two with Loona. She was a little softer, but you demanded she not let up. So she whaled on you, and another week was spent healing. You knew that you needed to spend your free time thinking about issue four (making the deal). Your mind was developing the deal when you weren't training, body beaten by Loona when you were. It was the Hell that you had imagined actual Hell would be like when you were still alive. Still, you found yourself improving slowly. You were growing stronger, increasing in power without the need for souls. Though you had heard of a snake-like sinner with some stupid name like "Sir Penis" who had also tried competing with Overlords, but was ridiculed; made a laughing stock because he was nothing without the souls required to back up his technical might. To the point that people had intentionally misremembered his name.
