《Discarded Plotline (Discarded Monster)》 Chapter --0 | Before it began... Stinging wind cuts across my legs as they burn with exhaustion; regardless I continue forward. Wizened oaks line the sides of the road, majestically towering above me, all more real then if I was passing by in a car. With crunching footsteps the little stones that scatter the black pavement are displaced, some falling into the cracks and others off the side of the road. For now this forest road is barren of other humans; however is full of noise despite being autum. Birds chittering sadly as they leave their homes for the winter. Squirrels and chipmunks scatter in light of my approach. And above all else was the constant whispering of the bony trees in the wind. My house and the center of the town was still a couple of kilometers ahead of me; it is not a populace place by any means, with most homes thinly spread around a large lake. Every few days I would walk, jog or run around the relatively oblong lake. I guess it is simply part of the routine I am stuck in. I recently turned 19 and have completed school- yet I still haven¡¯t exited the shelter of my families home, much to the disappointment of my father. It¡¯s not that I was a delinquent; actually if you asked any teacher or parent in my school they would undoubtedly call me intelligent at minimum. I was also relatively fit, though I am neutral on my looks. For my whole life I have been labeled as ¡®intelligent¡¯. My parents heralded me as the next einstein; my teachers claimed I could do whatever I wanted to, which wasn¡¯t far from the truth if I put effort into it. Everywhere I go people have high expectations of me- -and I hate it. It¡¯s annoying. Grating. I have long since become numbed to it, yet it still manages to pull every hair on my body by the stems. Constantly people expect high things from me; things so far beyond what is expected of others I stop getting noticed for doing things better than them.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. ¡®It¡¯s expected¡¯. What crap- I don¡¯t care if it is expected. I am more prideful than I care to admit- and seeing others getting praised for doing less than half of what I do makes me sick to my stomach. Yet they still expect me to be able to do better with no incentive. I am not attracted by money or fame- I have a job simply because I have nothing better to do and money keeps piling in my bank account. I don¡¯t want to have a fanclub, I just want to be accepted for being able to do what other¡¯s can¡¯t- yet no matter how well I do it is still ¡®within expectations¡¯, not needing praise. And years of having this happen to me has numbed my motivation. I lack drive; what is the point of doing something if no one notices you for it? No matter what argument I make I cannot shake the overbearing fog of pointlessness. My only interests were novels and games because they allowed me to escape and become something I¡¯m not. Something that actually meant something when I did better than others. Haa¡­ Absently I watched the cloudy sky. I wonder what would happen if I started over? *SCREEEEEEEEEEEECH Glancing in mild surprise at the tilting car, the drunken teenager in the front seat, and the bright headlights dead set on crushing me, I could only let out a sigh before it slammed into my body. Blinding white pain arked through me as every bone in my chest was shattered, ribs puncturing my lungs and heart. In the next instant I was crushed fully against a tree, my skull shattering and ending my life. Chapter --1 | Rebirth and Discard Dimly I tried to roll my numb body onto my side, quickly failing and attempting to open my leadened eyelids. Giving up for the moment I sent my senses through my dim body. Small¡­ The thin hairs on my body bristled as I became aware of them. My face was oddly structured, similar to that of a wolf¡¯s. But I definitely have both arms and legs¡­ Fufu¡­ Reincarnation eh? The lips on my face twitched into a smile. Renewing my efforts I stretched my body, my lower wolf-like legs slowly stretching, my arms reaching along the hardened ground, fingertips, small claws, faintly brushing against someone else¡¯s fur. ¡°Auuura~...¡± A faint high-pitched whine rewarded my efforts. I really want to see¡­ Concentrating on my eyes I managed to get a small crack open, and promptly shut them as blinding light poured in. Gritting my teeth- which I now noticed were mostly carnivorous fangs with molars in the back- I opened my eyes again and ignored the pain of the light, which gradually settled down so I could see the cave I was in. ...Cave? An entrance spilling blinding white light stood off to one end, glaringly illuminating the various oddly shaped grey-brown furballs in the room with me. Bodies like that of a humanoid wolf were ten or so furry babies, my siblings. Looking down at myself I was temporarily blinded by the glowing white glare of my fur. Looking away to regain my sight I contemplated my body. Albino? It would explain my sensitivity to light if I have the symptom of photophobia¡­ I growled and struggled to move my stubby body. At least I don¡¯t have some of the other vision impairments¡­ I looked at my siblings to make sure the images weren¡¯t unnaturally distorted. At least that I can tell. A shadow crossed the blinding entrance, temporarily tempting me to look towards it. Heavy footsteps approach my area and rough furry hands are shoved under my body, yanking me into the air and turning me to face my first visitor. Yellow wolf eyes disapprovingly looked me up and down before the being snorted in disdain. A series of fed-up growls echoed from his throat as he shoved me under his armpit and started carrying me towards the bright light. Rude. Pain coursed through my eyes as we stepped into the entrance, causing me to hurriedly shut them. Dozens of growling conversations took place around us as he carried me out. Quickly the conversations faded behind us- my eyes still screwed tight- as the one carrying me started to run. Briefly wondering where we were going I hardened my resolve. It is common in nature for beasts- even humans- to abandon children they thought were different, unwanted, or wouldn¡¯t survive easily. Survival of the fittest and all that. Considering none of my other siblings were albino like me the question became how I was going to be disposed of. If the person was going to personally kill me then I was screwed, I doubt I could fend him off with the body of a baby. Being left to die would be a much better alternative, actually it was probably the best I could hope for short of being given to an outcast family. Slowing down slightly the muscles in my captors arm tensed, then promptly grabbed my understomach and hapzhardedly threw me. Briefly I noted him running back towards the direction we came from. Twisting in the air I positioned my lower body underneath me, then slammed into the ground with a grunt, my legs slightly softening the painful impact. Stumbling I quickly sat on my haunches to balance myself. I grit my teeth with my eyes still shut to the blinding light of the sun. This is going to be troublesome¡­ Straining my ears I easily picked the whisper of rustling of leaves near me, the place I came from being a grass plain. Forest=shade. Turning towards the rustling leaves I awkwardly walk forward, quickly getting used to my new limbs. In moments I was smoothly walking towards where I heard the forest, and I also noticed my ears becoming more efficient, easily distinguishing the different sounds and forming them into shapes in my mind. Huh, rapid evolution much? Ignoring the changes for now- that let me easily tell the location, size and shape of the thick spindly trees less than a couple meters from me- I continued into the forest, avoiding the rocks and roots easily found in my soundscape. I snorted in amusement. Now I don¡¯t even need the shade. Well who knows when I will suddenly go deaf¡­ Not to mention my clear range only seems to be 10 or so meters- I can ¡®see¡¯ farther but it becomes indistinct-, though I can feel it growing slowly. Actually this is probably a centimeter every couple minutes, in an hour it will be 30 cen larger. A day it¡¯ll be over 7 meters larger¡­ I shook my head and ignored it. Any cheat I get at this point will be useful. Now then, where will I be able to find food¡­ Hunting probably isn¡¯t the wisest choice at the moment. Well, maybe fishing? My body seems to be speedily adapting. I smirked as I tilted my head to listen to several insects flying through the air, a butterfly flapping its wings came near me, fluttered around for a few seconds, then left. I wonder what would happen if I went swimming for a while¡­ I shook my head and sighed. I need to find food. Some insects might be poisonous, heck this is another world. For all I know everything could be poisonous¡­ Well no use standing around, I traveled further into the forest, the light thankfully being obstructed by shade so I could crack open my eyes without too much pain. Faintly I pick up the sound of a river and quickly head towards it while preparing myself for conflict. A few minutes later I finally reach the wide bubbling river. Shutting my eyes fully due to the sparkling suns glare I listened carefully for predator¡¯s that might take the chance to snack on a 20 cen tall baby¡­ whatever the heck I am.Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! Finding none I turned my focus to the hard packed dirt ground. If I can enhance my hearing by focusing then I should be able to do the same with vibrations. After all it is basically the same thing. Tapping one of my toes on the ground I focused on picking up the slight vibrations in the ground. Slowly but surely the vibrations became clearer and distinct. Grinning I stamp my foot on the ground, the vibration working like echolocation to find something to eat. I felt various bugs and a few small worms. Kneeling on my four legs I dig my claw into the ground and pull out a wriggling worm. Well¡­ Food is food. Grimacing slightly I throw it in my mouth and eat it. I just hope I don¡¯t get sick. For the next few minutes I found and ate more worms and meaty bugs till I was full. Sighing I listened to my soundscape for a place to make a base. Spotting a little alcove hidden by the surrounding land I hurriedly moved to it, doggy paddling through the water to reach it. Damn I hate being small¡­ Inside I could actually open my eyes and look around. Faint light shone down between a mesh of roots in the ceiling, illuminating the dusty hardened dirt interior. Vibrant green moss grew near the watery entrance ontop of miscolored grey stones. Peaceful¡­ I nodded to myself. It will make a decent home, though something has been worrying me for a bit now. Why isn¡¯t such a place taken by another creature? There was no visible signs of activity, at least none that could be recognized by me. If anything once lived here, it has long since left. Well nothing I can do but make use of it for now. First things first, I need to know the limits of my current body. Breathing deeply I started stretching, easily twisting my waist unheeded till my upper body completely faced backwards. I snorted in amusement, I have a spine an owl would be proud of. Continuing I found I can easily control my upper waist easily and twist in nearly any direction, though it might be due to being a baby I can flex so much. My arms had almost as much flexibility but were slightly more muscled. Also whatever my species was, it was fully built for combat. On top of small knuckle spikes I had snap movement similar to a mantis shrimp, able to punch outwards with considerable force producing an audible crack like a whip. My legs on the other hand each had six toes tipped with claws that easily gripped the ground and rapidly rapidly propel me forward or quickly change direction. Well then, Next¡­ I need to secure a weapon of some sorts, preferably a spear or dragonfist considering my body''s shape. Let¡¯s see, to make a dragonfist I¡¯ll need some sort of rope- vines probably- and heavy weights. Spear on the other hand can be a sharpened stick for now. Turning towards the glaring entrance I shut my eyes and rely on my soundscape to see. Heading outside I searched my surroundings for a long, mostly straight stick. Luckily wood reflects sound well. I hefted the stick I found and tried using one of my claws to chip away the end of the spear. Nodding in satisfaction I collect several other long sticks and bring them to my base where I sharpened them to a point. Next goal should be stone tools and the collection of clay to construct a furnace. I snorted in amusement while inspecting the last makeshift spear. Who knew that looking up random things like that would be useful. Though making the furnace would take a long time, especially without adequate sunlight to heat the clay. Maybe I can make hardened clay with magic? Fire Kiln? Curiously I scratched my chin. Magic is definitely a route I want to explore, though several disastrous things could happen if I use it without a teacher. Ath! But I really want to use magic¡­ I snorted. For now I¡¯ll just try to grasp mana. Though I don¡¯t even know if magic exists in this world¡­ That reminds me of something I haven¡¯t tried yet. Status! *Ping~

Huh, so there is a status. Briefly I looked it over, glancing at the blessing and Reincarnator perks before moving on. I¡¯ll check what they do later, for now I have to figure out how to use mana. Folding my legs underneath me- sighing in relief at not being female- and closing my eyes I search inside myself with my mind. Now then, where exactly would I find magic, or mana in this case? Would it be the soul? The head? The stomach? Would it be in the material plane or immaterial? Does immaterial plane actually exist? Ah right, meditation is the emptying of thoughts so¡­ Unfocusing I simply let my senses wander through my body. Gently I feel myself nudging something near the top of my spine. Focusing on it, looking through a lens into a vast spherical lake made of pure rapidly shifting energy. Gently I feel the sphere shift and the energy is pulled through- *Snap! ¡°Gah!¡± I yell violently as pain courses through my nerves, gradually getting hotter as it persists. I try to move my hands to clutch my neck but I find my muscles made of stone, slowly being chiseled by the energy pouring into my body. Molten lava seeped into my veins, burning through my petite body. Unable to move, the sphere in my neck throbs painfully, blinding my vision. Next I felt something in my chest stirring- *Snap! I can¡¯t even scream as another sphere in my body is forcibly broken open, doubling the pressure threatening to break me into countless pieces. Faster than before the magma drops into my lower half and I can only helplessly wait as I feel a third sphere near my stomach, larger than the other two, giving away to the unstoppable power. My blood is boiling, the pain dying all my senses white. Dimly I feel a fourth sphere- smaller, near the base of my tail- finally giving away. An instant later my senses went black, leaving me in the blissful darkness. Chapter --2 | Magic *ping~!
You have awakened yourself to your mana! Lost trait {Unawakened Quadruple} Gained trait: {Awakened Quad-Core}
Due to high mana levels and {####¡¯s Blessing} you have started evolution!
Evolution complete!
Slowly I felt myself rising from the comfortable darkness, dull aching pain now filling my awareness. Groaning I attempted to push myself into a sitting position, momentarily forgetting my my tail before adjusting and sweeping it out under me. Man, having a tail is going to be a pain¡­ I sighed and looked around my surroundings. Besides some obvious changes to my own body nothing changed in the little room¡­ Well, I looked down, If you don¡¯t count the copious amounts of dried blood on the floor. I squirmed uncomfortably and sighed. At least I don¡¯t seem hungry at the moment. Recollecting the previous events I examined my body. My fur was still white, though some light blue energy crackled silently through it. I was also slightly bigger and more muscled, though still only about 20 cen(centimeter) tall. My claws have become a silvery metal and lightly serrated on the inside curve, my teeth also feel heavier so they might be the same. I sighed and opened up my status.

Let¡¯s see, my maximum level went up and my species changed, though I can¡¯t remember what it was before. I gained mana regen and a mana pool as well. Curiously I tried clicking on the blacked out blessing. *ting~
[####¡¯s Blessing] - Blessing from the goddess of evolution. Has several unknown effects.
Blessing from the goddess of evolution? Umu, I¡¯m guessing that it has to do with my evolutions being infinite. *Ting~ I blinked in surprise and looked at the new window.
[####¡¯s Blessing] - Blessing from the goddess of evolution. Has several unknown effects. Known Effects - Infinite Evolutions
Huh, so it updates depending on what I figure out. That¡¯s good to know. Ignoring it for now I opened up all the information I could in my status window.
[Reincarnator] - Massively increases growth and trait acquisition rate.
[Advanced Body] - Increases growth rate. Increases all parameters. Massively boosts senses
[Albino] - Your fur is white and your body is incredibly sensitive to light.
[Noble] - You are of noble heritage, your body and mind is stronger than others.
[Quad-Core (Awakened)] - You have four mana cores capable of refining essence into mana and exerting control over said mana. All four are awakened.
[Steel Fur] - Your fur is made of steel
Not much useful information, though knowing I could use magic was exciting. My defense should also be pretty high considering my [steel fur] trait.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. Now then¡­ I looked at the evening dyed lake through the entrance to my alcove, I need to gather food. My stomach growled, badly. I stood up and walked over to the entrance, the glare of the setting sun causing me to squint my eyes. First I need to make myself some type of spear to catch fish with. Swimming to the near shore I searched for long mostly straight branches, then rough stones I could use to sharpen the spear to a point before hardening them with a light fire. I completed them within the hour, but even still a bright moon appeared in the sky among the glimmering stars as the sun set. Insects and other animals chirped in the darkness, the stones in the hard packed dirt glowing blue in the moonlight. I sighed and looked up at the sky, at least I can open my eyes comfortably in the darkness, though the moon is kind of bright. Shaking my head out of my thoughts I waded into the water and focused on my feeling vibrations in the water. A minute passed s I stood perfectly still. Another, three, there! My flashed in the moonlight, the spear smoothly piercing the water and puncturing the fish that curiously swam into the shallows near me. Quickly lifting my spear out of the water I grinned at the ten cen silver fish staked on the end, floundering uselessly in the air. Quickly I waded back to my alcove and sat down, then dug my claws into the fish¡¯s eye, ending its life with a soft squish. However I was now posed with a problem. Do I eat the fish raw or try to cook it? If I do the latter I probably had to skin it, and while I had knowledge how I had never actually done it before. What the heck, I shrugged and bit into the fish¡¯s head, its bones crushed under my jaw and wet spongy brain spreading across my tongue. Surprisingly it didn¡¯t taste that bad, and despite the fish being half as long as I am tall I managed to fit half of it in my stomach before becoming full, bones and all. I hope I don¡¯t get sick from this. Well, I¡¯m a bit too hungry to care at the moment. Strangely enough I¡¯m not tired either, might as well experiment. Crossing my legs once again I focused on my cores, examining the essence being pulled through them; speaking of which, where does essence come from? My soul? I shook my head, doesn¡¯t matter, focus. The mana being pumped out by my cores was stored all throughout my body, most likely in my cells, and seemed to strengthen my body. However it appeared I was at full capacity as some mana leaked out of my skin, though it seemed to get caught in my fur- probably the source of the blue sparks occasionally crackling through it. However it also seemed to be amplified by my claws as the weight of mana seemed to get stronger as it leaked out. I wonder¡­ Swinging my hand through the air I pushed mana out through my claws while envisioning heat. The air rippled behind my claws, a heat wave blasting into the surroundings, flames flickered like sprites and the wall shimmered as the wave hit it; the roots in the wall turning slightly black. A wide toothy grin spread across my face. I used magic! I quickly checked how much I used. In the spell only the mana in my fingertips had been pushed out, which was quickly replenished by my cores greedily converting essence. Clenching my hand then opening it with my furry palm facing upwards. Gathering mana I condensed it and formed a long and thin spike. Pointing my palm at the wall I shot the spike with a single exhale, pierce! Only a small thump was released from where the spike silently bore into the wall. Excitedly examing it I failed to see exactly how far it went with another spell I created on the spot, light. The small hole only went through a couple meters, though I didn¡¯t know how far a bullet in real life could travel through earth¡­ Shrugging I moved back to the center of the alcove and focused, this time creating a drill like stake out of my mana, spinning it as fast as I could without losing control then firing it into the wall with a fwiiiiiiii. Besides a small spirt of dirt I failed to see how far it traveled due to the hole instantly being filled by the dirt behind it, however from the vibrations it made I would say it bore through a couple dozen meters before I lost track of it. *ting~
You have earned the trait [Mana Manipulation]!
Swiping away the status window I decided to get ready to sleep. Tentively I traveled outside my alcove and onto the shore. Silently I gathered up bundles of leaves and moss, carried them back to my home, and piled them on the ground. Determining I had enough I focused my mana and pulled apart the earth in the ground, condensing it into little cubes of stone and setting it aside. Digging out a couple centimeters of earth I started shoveling the leaves into it before covering it with a layer of moss. *ting~
You have gained the trait [Earth magic]!
I tilted my head, the message only appeared when I stopped working? Interesting and helpful. I probably wouldn¡¯t have to worry about pop-ups in the middle of battle, so that¡¯s a plus. On the other hand there¡¯d probably be no instant notification if I became poisoned. Or maybe there would be? Dismissing my thoughts I focused on the mana leaking into my fur and repelled the cold water clinging to me, then comfortably laid down to sleep. *ting~
You have gained the trait [Water magic]!
Glaring at the window in annoyance I quickly dismissed it and focused on calming my breathing. However many thoughts cluttured my mind, what if something comes to attack me while I am asleep? How will I defend myself? Sitting up I decided to try and form a ¡®net¡¯ out of my mana that covered my surroundings. The threads connected to me would shake and tramble if anything touched the web around me, similar to how spiders locate prey fallen into their webs. Though mine is not sticky. Rapidly threads flew from my body and covered all corners of the room, all tracing back to my prone figure sitting on the moss. Carefully I laid my body back down, stretching the threads where I needed to and keeping them all taut. A bit more mentally secure I finally drifted off to a fitful sleep, plagued by repressed worries of what was to come. Chapter --3 | The slime I woke with a start, sweat leaking from between my fur. Huh, so I¡¯m a canine that can sweat. I noted absently before fully sitting up, ripping the web I carefully wove last night in the process. Glancing out of my alcove I noted that it was early morning, the first streaks of dawn gently lighting the water outside. Speaking of which I never really examined my surroundings too much did I? I guess that¡¯s something to do for today. I narrowed my eyes, a companion would be nice as well. Though I¡¯d have to figure out how to keep it from betraying me¡­ Sighing I stood up and stretched, instantly becoming aware of my new growth. I¡¯m at least six cen taller than yesterday, my muscles are more developed as well¡­ Does my species grow that fast or am I just abnormal? I snorted, probably the latter. Picking up my spear I briefly glanced at the tip, then grinned with an idea. Using my claw I dug deep notches in the wood near the tip, then used them as anchors to secure a condensed stone spearhead made with magic. I swung the top-heavy weapon a couple times and shrugged, crappy weapon, but it will do for now. Maybe I can withdraw metal from the ground with magic? I¡¯ll experiment when I get home. Just in case I created a layer of condensed stone around the wooden staff part and a thick ball on the other end to use as a mace. ~ting!
You have created a D-rank magic weapon! Gained trait: [Weapon Creation]! Gained trait: [Imbue Magic]!
Eh? I raised an eyebrow, Magic weapon? I glanced at the plain stone spear in my hand. Sure enough I could sense some mana residing in the weapon. Gripping it tightly I thrust it forward while pouring more mana into it, and to my surprise a small cut appeared a meter away on the wall. Well. I guess creating things with magic has an effect¡­ Sighing I made my way outside of my alcove while noting several things I would have to do such as adding spikes to the entrance and beams to support the expansion I am planning. I sighed, I have alot to do. Reaching the shore I hefted my spear and moved to the treeline while sharpening my senses. Glancing at a tree I briefly wondered if I was going to have to mark my territory when I get older, then shook my head and focused on my surroundings again. My pelt is going to stand out in the forest, I grimaced, I do not want to cover myself in mud so I¡¯m going to have to be careful not to attract too much attention. I sighed. This is going to be a pain. Luckily the forest had plenty of cover, so to most I¡¯ll just appear as a white patch. Though when it get¡¯s brighter later I might have a problem, both with my eyesight and being seen. *rstle ¡°Squeee hunk!¡± Turning towards the noise I quickly sped through the forest, coming across a large four-tusked brown boar flinging a small white slime- bleeding a clear liquid- into the air with its snout. The slime smashed into a tree, hit the ground and pitifully shivered as the boar prepared to charge it. Pity taking over I dashed at the boar despite it being twice my height. Snorting as it noticed me the boar tried to turn mid charge. I charged my spear tip with mana and swung as hard as I could at its neck, leaving a deep bloody gash through its flesh but failing to sever the spine. Enraged the boar tried to ram me from close range but I stepped back to avoid, then swung the mace end of my spear with all my might, slamming down on the boar¡¯s skull with an audible crack, the bone and skin rippling and shattering as the boar¡¯s legs gave way and its head dug into the ground. Not taking any chances I stabbed my spear into its spine. Satisfied that the boar didn¡¯t even react I sighed in relief then turned around to find the slime quivering in the crook of a tree root. Cute¡­ Walking over to it the slime quivered harder at my presence, causing my heart to pang in my chest. Gently I kneeled down and scooped it up in my hand, the clear liquid leaking into my fur from multiple punctures on its body. I stared at the small slime only as big as my palm in confusion. How am I supposed to heal it? I don¡¯t know how slime anatomy works so healing might be¡­ I shook my head and focused my magic, gathering the energy in my fur underneath the slime and thought of comfort and healing as I let it pour into the slime, who in turn jumped in surprise then started greedily sucking up my mana. In moment the gashes on the slime started healing, its white body gaining a clear transparency unlike its opaque injured form. Suddenly the slime shook greatly and light blue sparks started forming inside it around the tiny pink core floating in its body. *ting~

I blinked at the windows and carefully pet the slime in my hands while reading. Smiling at the familiar part I held up the slime and looked at it. ¡°You will be named Flysa.¡± The slime, Flysa, happily quivered in acceptance causing me to grin. Placing her on my head between my ears I stood and moved over to the boar, carefully making sure Flysa didn¡¯t fall off her new perch. Now then¡­ I observed the boars corpse and shrugged. Guess I should carry it home¡­ I frowned, the boar was at least four times my total size, how the hell could I manage that? Taking Flysa off my head I placed her in the remains of the boar¡¯s skull, ¡°Eat up Flysa.¡± Shaking in conformation her body began pulling in the juices and meat of the boar, digesting them inside her before taking other bits of flesh and devouring them. Meanwhile I moved to the side of the boar and formed a small knife out of mana, promptly cutting out a bloody chunk of flesh and biting into it. Status.

I frowned as I chewed the thick skin of the boar, reading through Flysa¡¯s status as I cut out another chunk of meat. Her mana is less than one-fourth of mine, and her regeneration is only 1/20th. I tilted my head, it would take about 42 seconds for me to refill my mana completely, on the other hand it would take Flysa over two minutes. While Flysa only had one core compared to my four if we go by Flysa¡¯s mana then I should only regen twenty mana a second. However I regen a hundred¡­ Is it exponential? Sighing I dropped the thoughts and checked her boons and traits. Looks like the blessing is shared considering her evolution limit, on the other hand Healing Magic? She¡¯s a type of healing slime? Well Sano is latin for cure¡­ Speaking of which why is the status in a language I can understand? I¡¯m pretty sure the beings where I was born weren¡¯t speaking english or latin. Uth, well I probably won¡¯t be able to figure it out anytime soon. *ting~
Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained a new trait - [Hard Hide]!
Pushing off the boar I nearly dropped the piece of meat I was holding. Glancing at the window I moved around to Flysa and found that she devoured all of the boar¡¯s head and was now working on the beginning of the body. I raised an eyebrow, even the tusks were devoured. *ting~
Flysa has leveled up! Flysa¡¯s body mass has increased to (Small)!
I smiled wryly, so she can level up by devouring corpses¡­ should I say as expected of a slime? Well no matter, I should probably move the corpse from here before predators come. Though carrying it is going to be a pain. Can I even lift it? Shrugging I stuck my spear into its spine then dug my claws into the flesh and put strength into my hips, slowly pulling the heavy boar onto my shoulders like a huge barrel. Breathing deeply I slowly stepped forward, my foot leaving a small indentation in the ground. I grinned, now then, let¡¯s get this back to base shall we? Chapter --4 | Evolution Laying down the half-eaten boar on the inside of my base I quickly used some magic to rid myself of the water and sweat. *ting~
You have gained the trait [Enhanced Strength] You have gained the trait [Enhanced Balance]
Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Ferocity] Flysa has leveled up! Evolution is now pending for Flysa...
Grinning I turned to the corpse, which Flysa had done a good job of digesting; increasing her size to (big). ¡°Alright Flysa, you can stop devouring it now.¡± Flysa let go of the corpse and rolled over to me, with her diameter as long as I was tall. Affectionately she bumbped into me and I felt magic fly through the air, healing my sore muscles. Smiling wryly I gently pet her smooth outer membrane, which due to [Hard Hide] was about as thick as the length of my pinky finger. The pink core inside her throbbed in pleasure, blue mana lightning arcing through her body and tingling the fur on my hand. Now then lets try this; ¡°Show evolution paths.¡± *ting~
Evolution Paths available for either [ Manarrus Lupinai (Baby) ] or [ {Flysa} Magplenus Sano Slimeus (Big) ] ?
I smiled, ¡°Shall we see what you can evolve into?¡±, Show paths for Flysa. *ting~
Evolution Paths {Flysa} Magplenus Sano Slimeus (Big)
Magplenus Magnasano Slimeus (medium) A greater healing slime with extremely high mana levels. Is capable of learning greater healing magics.
Magplenus Shashift Sano Slimeus (medium) A type of healing slime capable of mimicking things it senses with extremely high mana levels.
Magihigh Sano Slimeus (medium) A type of healing slime with highly potent magic and extremely high mana levels. Is capable of learning other forms of magic besides healing.
Magplenus Naturae Sano Slimeus (Small) A nature attuned healing slime with extremely high mana levels. Is capable of learning nature and growth magics.
While stroking Flysa¡¯s membrane I looked over her options. The second choice seems to allow her to grow closer to human form, however right now that would not have much use. Though she would be able to transform into other shapes I think that can be obtained with practice. I frowned, The magihigh one can use other magic besides healing, but is very general. Leaving the greater healing magic or nature magics¡­ Coming to a descision I selected the latter. *ting~
Flysa will evolve into a Magplenus Naturae Sano Slimeus after resting!
I looked to her, ¡°You see that? Go rest and evolve.¡± and gave her a gentle push, but she shivered in refusal and stuck closer to me, her flexible membrance wrapping around my waist. I smiled wryly and decided to let her do what she wanted and quickly opened up my own evolution paths.
Evolution Paths Manarrus Lupinai (Baby)
Magplenus Ferrus Lupinai (Child) A type of steel furred wolfkin with an extremely large mana pool.
Greater Manarrus Lupinai (Child) A greater form of the mana-steel furred wolfkin.

Magihigh Othrofuxinai (Baby) A twin-headed foxkin with an extremely large and potent mana pool.
Manarrus Werewolf (Baby) A steel-furred werewolf.
Quickly I read through the list and sighed at the lack of information given by the window. There¡¯s even less than Flysa¡¯s¡­ Well no matter. Curiously I looked through what interested me and narrowed it down to a few options. Aeblood Lupiner, Aeblood Fuxinai, Manarrus Otherlupinai, or Magihigh Othrofuxinai all interest me. Though being a type of wolf-centaur would be cool the demerits to having four legs at all time are enough to bring me away from it. Having aether in my blood-whatever that is- and having it nourish my body instead of food sounds useful, and probably is but for now I¡¯ll leave that option due to the possibility of having two heads; and I like foxes more than wolves, leaving Magihigh Othrofuxinai for my decision. *ting~
You will evolve in Magihigh Othrofuxinai when you next rest.
Smiling I looked down at Flysa who was still clinging to my waist, ¡°Shall we rest for the night?¡± I asked and she shivered in confirmation. I glanced at the boar corpse before moving over to my makeshift bed. If I grow any larger I¡¯m going to have to expand it¡­ I laid down and Flysa happily rolled ontop of me and flattened herself over me. I smiled wryly as she started vibrating in pleasure, or is it better to say purring? With thoughts absently floating through my head I gently fell into slumber. *ting~

Evolution complete!
¡°¡°Uuth¡±¡± I groaned and lifted my heads, two different visions entering my mind at the same time. One head looked to the entrance and squinted against the bright evening light while the other checked on Flysa who was happily purring on my chest, now tinted a greenish-white with blue lightning arcing through her body. Smiling that the evolution turned out okay while grunting at the bright light outside I raised my upper body, causing Flysa to roll into my lap. Examining my body for changes I quickly found myself to be more lithe, my muscles either condensed or shrunken. My fur was still pure snow white while blue electricity occasionally zapped through it, though now it seemed softer than before. My tail also changed, now as nearly long as I am tall and very fluffy. Curiously I looked at my surroundings and concentrated both my consciouses, wielding my mana and causing two balls of earth to separate from the ground and float on opposite sides of my body. Toothily grinning I let the balls of earth fall to the ground. Guess I can easily multi-task now. With a huff I scooped up Flysa and stood, noting my height increased again, now probably around 40 cen tall. I¡¯m going to have to expand my bed again. Moving over to the boar I gently let Flysa down on the ground and ripped out a chunk of flesh for myself, biting it with one of my heads. Oddly enough my other head got jealous of myself, salivating slightly, so I took a bite with it, satisfying my dual needs. While chewing both mouths I pondered my course of action from here. I wanted to explore the world. Maybe eventually settle down somewhere with a wife or two. However at the moment I probably am nowhere near powerful enough to accomplish either of the two. For now I will make this alcove my base, and to do such I need to reinforce it, heavily. Munching on the raw boar meat I moved over to the entrance and gathered mana in my arms before waving them in the air, sending countless tendrils into the ground and pulling out the earth under the water, creating a depression in front and a wall of stone spikes behind. On one side I created a ladder by placing indents in the wall. Using the spare stone I created thin, condensed pillars that reached up to the ceiling. Deeper inside I used the earth around the base of the pillars to create them, in the process making wells in the ground that could be used to store things. Going to the back I made a tunnel to the surface with a sliding stone trapdoor, which I took the opportunity to pump full of mana with the purpose to harden it. Though I don¡¯t know if the amount of mana will attract predators¡­ I hope there isn¡¯t something that likes to eat mana, though considering the possible Aeblood evolutions could survive on it it wouldn¡¯t surprise me. Let¡¯s just hope there is none near this area¡­ Finishing up the general outline I turned to Flysa to find the boar corpse almost completely devoured. *ting~
Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Dig]! Flysa has gained four levels! Flysa¡¯s body size has changed to (big)!
You have gained the trait [Magic Architect]! [Earth Magic] has evolved into [Earth Magic (Greater)] You have gained a level!
I raised an eyebrow on either head, so I can gain levels from things other than combat? Interesting. Moving to Flysa I sighed in amazement at her size. She was now a bit taller than me, which reminds me, I¡¯m going to have to expand the trapdoor when I get bigger¡­ Sighing I smiled wryly and looked to the exit, the setting sun dying the waters a dark orange. ¡°¡°Shall we get going, Flysa?¡±¡± *Pyruun! Chapter --5 | The orcs, first encounter Pushing the undergrowth out of the way I used my two pairs of eyes to scan the bright the surroundings for threats and prey, Flysa silently and happily rolling behind me. Luckily the sun was mostly set by this time, otherwise I would be blinded by the light rays leaking through the forest canopy. Speaking of which, I glanced upward with one head, the trees towering far above my small body. I really hate being this small. It really puts things into perspective; I hope I don¡¯t find an anaconda or something like that. Though that¡¯s a flag¡­ *krik My ear perked at the distant noise. Turning my heads I slowly and carefully made my way in the direction of it, my spear-mace gripped tightly in my right hand. Vibrations in the ground notified me of a large being making its way towards me, I stiffened, and not just large in my perspective. From the weight it could very likely be a bear, probably not the wisest thing to fight considering my small size. Can I make a trap with magic? Pitfall sounds good. Focusing my mana into my feet I stomped downwards, hollowing the earth underneath the layer of grass and forming condensed spikes on the bottom made of stone. ¡°Flysa,¡± I whispered, ¡°stay hidden, if whatever it is doesn¡¯t die when it falls in, but losses its arms you are to suffocate it.¡± ¡°Pyruun!¡± I smiled and started moving towards the heavy steps coming in my general direction. Now that it was closer I realized its not the lumbering of a four-legged bear, but the heavy walk of a bi-pedal. Hesitating for only a moment I continued forwards, traveling just thirty meters from the pitfall before seeing it another twenty meters away. Green skin, yellowish tusks jutting out of its thick lower jaw, roughly humanoid with large meaty arms, pot belly, and black bristly hair spiking out of its back. A dirty loincloth was wrapped around its waist and it carried a large tree-branch as a form of weapon. Orc? I briefly thought before the fatty spotted me and sickly grinned, opening its mouth and roaring; ¡°VRAAAAAAAL!¡±, charging a second later. Spinning on my heel I dashed back towards the trap, the orc quickly closing the distance between us with its large legs. Barely passing over the trap in time I ripped apart the ground with magic; ¡°Guah!?¡±; the fat orc fell into the trap face first. *CRACKKKKK Under his weight the spikes snapped, only the first couple centimeters managing to pierce his flesh. One however luckily pierced his throat and the orc was now coughing blood as it tried to get its arms under itself. Out of the corner of an eye I saw Flysa jump into the pit and land on the orcs head, instantly wrapping around it and starting to digest the orcs face. Not hesitating I jumped in after her, landing on the orcs back and thrusting the mana-filled spear point into the orcs heart, crushing a few thick ribs in the process. But even then the orc didn¡¯t die, still struggling in a vain attempt to free its arms from the spikes. Focusing I channeled mana into my spear, Kinetic Pulse! The orcs skin rippled and shook as a wave of energy shot throughouts its body, pulverising organs and cracking bones. The orc finally laid still, and I grimaced at the feeling of its sticky skin under my feet. Quickly I created a platform and stepped onto it. *ting~
You have defeated a level 43 Gren Orcus (Adolescent) (Medium) You have leveled up eleven times! You have gained the trait [Kinetic Magic]! Flysa has leveled up four times! Evolution now pending¡­ Flysa has gained the trait [Shock Magic]!
Shock magic? I looked over to Flysa with one head while the other checked the surroundings for other dangers. Flysa meanwhile was happily devouring the liquid organs and blood oozing out of the orcs face. I grimaced, liquid flesh is not something I want to eat. *thump. My face instantly hardened at the vibration of multiple heavy beings coming in this direction. Hurriedly gripping my mana I pushed outwards, creating half a dozen new spike traps in the ground while renewing the broken spikes and moving the orc. ¡°Flysa, stop eating for now and get ready to fight. Multiple orcs are coming towards us.¡± ¡°Pyrun.¡± I glanced at the orc Flysa separated from. Up close it was easily six times my height, and according to the status window it was merely a medium sized adolescent. I should expect the other orcs to be larger, older, and more powerful. Swinging my spear I made a thing cover of earth above me and Flysa along with a small burrow to the side to hide in. If I could I wanted to play this without the orcs ever seeing us. Focusing on the earth I let my mana seep out into the ground, gradually giving me a picture of the world around me. An orc stepped onto the land. A second, third. In total six orcs now were over my pitfalls. Crumbling the ground all at once I let them fall, ignoring their cries of surprise and pain as I forced the earth into them through the spikes, around their heads, limbs; and quickly and quietly crushed them. Opening my eyes I opened a hole to the surface and climbed out with Flysa. Looking around with my two heads I exposed the orcs bodies from where they were buried, crushed skin, bones and all. I wrinkled both noses at the smell, that was anticlimactic. Though its probably because none of them can use magic or sense me. Fighting stupid enemies is a gift that shouldn¡¯t be taken for granted. Gesturing to Flysa I let her continue devouring the corpse crushed with my kinetic pulse I overviewed the other six orcs, only one of which was smaller than the first orc, the others easily being a couple dozen centimeters taller. Each one wielded some kind of weapon, the largest even wielded a rusted iron greatsword. *ting~

Higher rank evolutions now available. You have gained the title: Tiny Terror! Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Enhanced Strength]!
I gave a brief glance towards the status window before dismissing it and focusing my magic. Levitate and follow. Slowly the corpses rose in the air, including the one Flysa was munching on. I noted in satisfaction the amount of mana I was using wasn¡¯t much and turned around, heading towards our base while pulling the corpses through the air. ------- Reaching the base I buried all but one of the corpses in the wall and surrounded them with condensed stone to keep them from rotting. Maybe I can also invent an ice spell as well¡­ Turning around I glanced at Flysa who was still devouring the almost liquified orc corpse. *ting~
Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Keen Smell]! Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Berserker]! Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Sword Mastery]!
My lips quirked upwards in amusement at the status window. Berserker healer eh? Maybe her next evolution will give her a humanoid form. She has been devouring orcs which are humanoid so maybe¡­ Speaking of, I sat down and crossed my legs, wrapping my long fluffy tail around my waist as I meditated, If I am correct then our actions, achievements and other things like what we eat and experience affect our evolutions. So if I specialize in a type of magic I will likely gain an evolution down that path. I opened my eyes and absently stared at the roof. Specializing would definitely make me powerful, after all if you defend everywhere you will be weak everywhere. The problem is what to focus on. Pondering I opened my and Flysa¡¯s status.

Flysa seems to be building in the direction of a druid/warrior, while I on the other hand am all over the place, but mostly seem to specialize in magic. So go the mage route? I¡¯m not particularly interested in long range magic; partly due to the romance of fighting up close and personal, and partly because I wasn¡¯t sure how my mana would act far away from me. I¡¯d prefer close to mid-range concentrated magic with powerful potency. So shall I focus on Kinetics? Its general enough to not leave me with many weaknesses, but potent enough to be powerful. If I also get earth magic then I will be well off. I can leave healing to Flysa, and if I can find another companion to cover wind and or water then we will have a decent team. Letting my tail sweep outwards behind me I focused both my minds and gathered mana around me. Now let''s see, Kinetics is anything pertaining to motion, whether this be a vector or otherwise. No matter what it is it has a vector, even energy. Kinetic magic is the ability to affect and change these vectors with my will, no matter the object. I can create heat by vibrating molecules, or stop them and freeze anything. Even space itself, if it bends or shifts, it can be affected with my magic. Whether it is the tiniest particle or the largest black holes, Kinetics governs all motion. I opened my eyes both my mouths grinned, ¡°¡°Let¡¯s create some magic shall we?¡±¡± Chapter --6 | Second Evolution Sighing in content I leaned back, my tail waving playfully behind me. For the past few hours I had been practising earth and kinetic magic, evidence by the various statues and statue pieces gathered in the corner. *ting~

Swiping away the windows I checked outside to find the light of dawn flicking on the lake. So the whole night has passed huh. Flysa also managed to devour five of the seven corpses available, changing her size to (Gargantuan), now a bit less than twice in diameter as the first orc was tall she easily filled the space between the floor and ceiling and then a good three meters in every direction. Finishing up the orc she slid over to me and conformed around my body like a beanbag- though much smoother and skin-fitting- and started purring, vibrating my body like a massage chair. Smiling I let myself float on her body for a few moments before finally opening the evolution path window for her. *ting~

Dimly I woke up with my heads laying on two supremely soft cushions and with huge comforting arms as thick as my waist embracing me. Opening eyes I came face to faces with a beautiful, gently curved woman with sloping cheeks, whitish green skin, azure blue eyes, a gently hooked nose, ears with two points, and small tusks jutting out of her petite lower jaw. Well petite if her head wasn¡¯t as big as four of mine combined. She smiled brilliantly on seeing me awake, ¡°Morning master.¡± her voice was like an amazonian song and it took me a second to realize who I was laying on. ¡°¡°Flysa?¡±¡± I asked in awe. She tilted her head and hugged me tighter with a smile, her breasts were as big as melons and comfortably squished as I was pressed into them. I quickly realized that I was no longer completely covered with fur, and besides the fox ears on my heads my faces were both human. Wiggling my body Flysa let me sit up on her stomach, I¡¯m like a child in size compared to her¡­ Shaking one of my heads I used the other to check the room, and quickly found its small size lacking, my ears pushing against the ceiling.. ¡°Guess we¡¯ll have to expand the base.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Flysa blushed lightly as she observed my body, ¡°It¡¯s a bit small for master isn¡¯t it?¡± I raised an eyebrow at her, ¡°You¡¯re at least double my size. Not worried about it being too small for you?¡± She flashed me a smile, showing her perfectly white but gently crooked teeth, ¡°As long as I am with master it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± I smiled wryly and scratched the back of one of my heads before finally looking down at my own body- -and staring blankly at my chest for a few moments before checking whether or not my genitals were still of a mans, which they were. Then why do I have breasts!? Chapter --7 | Remodeling ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± Flysa asked with a tilted head. Sighing I shook both my heads, ¡°Nothing that changes anything. Just surprising is all.¡± I hope they don¡¯t get too large. I sent a gaze at Flysa¡¯s melons, her soft pink nipples errect- Is she aroused!? I shook my heads again to clear them. Not good, I¡¯m a pre-adolescent so puberty is getting to me; Fuck! Blushing I gently hopped off of Flysa¡¯s stomach, lightly landing on the floor and flicking my new tails. Looking up at Flysa I smiled at her, ¡°I¡¯ll have an area cleared out that¡¯s big enough for you to live in in a few moments, hang tight til then.¡± ¡°Hai Master.¡± She answered with a light blush. Feeling something stirring in me I embarrassedly turned away. Breathing deeply I regained my calmness and focused my magic which was practically begging to be released. Spreading my hands then clenching them into fists a huge swath of earth was condensed into stone, greatly opening up space for me and Flysa. Digging downwards I used the spare stone to make thicker pillars and reinforce the wall bordering the lake. A faint tug of something missing pulled on my mind and I frowned, then promptly dedicated one thought stream into creating decorations out of stone. Ah, Flysa has nature magic doesn¡¯t she? I turned to the corner where Flysa was watching me happily, ¡°Do you think you could grow flowers and other plants down here?¡± She tilted her head and thought for a moment before nodding, ¡°Yes, though I would need to somehow increase the light down here or they wouldn¡¯t flourish well.¡± I grimaced at the memory of the painful brightness, ¡°Ah! Sorry master. How about mushrooms?¡± I frowned while one head continued on excavating the earth and forming blocks of stone. An idea popped into my head but I don¡¯t know if it will work¡­ Gently I started channeling mana to my two pairs of eyes and used kinetic magic to reduce the amount of photons entering my retina, which plunged my vision into darkness except for a few moonbeams leaking through the ceiling. Good, I grinned, The spell is easy enough to maintain so I can use it as a filter. ¡°I think we can safely add light down here, just made a spell to decrease my sensitivity to light.¡± Flysa blinked in surprise before smiling, ¡°As expected of master.¡± Standing up I realized she really towered over me, and since I was eye level with her genitals I also came to the fact we really needed clothes with no small amount of blushing. ¡°Where should I plant them master?¡± ¡°Ah,¡± I quickly snapped back into my thoughts and quickly created various stone planters around the walls and pillars, softer earth easily placed inside. I should also make a water system, both to use for the plants and bathing¡­ I blinked in surprise, I haven¡¯t gone to the bathroom once since I was born. Huh. Shaking my head away from the thought I scanned the walls with my magic and quickly created a pipe system that drew water from the lake and filled the planters to a certain level before stopping. In the ceiling I created stones and imbued them with my magic, glow. With my command they let off a gentle yellow light similar to sunlight, but much less bright. Let¡¯s see, I¡¯ll also need air vents so it doesn¡¯t get stuffy¡­ Does this country have a winter? While sorting through multiple thoughts I continued to manipulate my surroundings, creating grated vents imbued with magic to have air constantly flowing in one direction, some in and some out. Quickly enough a gentle breeze wafted through our surroundings and I smiled at my success before getting back to work. I had already created tons of different designs on the walls and ceiling, and smoothed down the floor to create a kind of pavement. Flysa was humming a melody while casting magic into all the planters at once, and small green buds awarded her efforts. Smiling warmly at the scene I moved to the far wall and sensed for the trapdoor, which was now far too small for Flysa to fit, much less me. Flicking my tails I created a staircase to the surface with an even bigger sliding trapdoor that can be locked from the inside. On either side of the staircase I added stone doors that could be slid into the wall, and then focused my efforts on first creating the bedroom for me and Flysa. Unfortunately I didn¡¯t have any bedding material, my original bedding now far too small for me. However I still created the outline for the large circular room with the bed frame off to one side. Adding a few more planters for Flysa get to later I moved onto the other room. This one is going to be the bathroom, and I want it to be like a hotspring. I easily made a depression in the floor with various levels to sit on along with pipes that constantly filtered the water, warming it up as it comes in and cooling it as it goes out. Now that I think of it won¡¯t my imbues, or enchantments eventually run out of mana? I frowned and tapped my foot while staring at floor hiding a warm water pipe with both heads. Is it possible to make an enchantment that collects mana? I shrugged and decided to try it, pushing my mana to make a funnel that poured into the enchanted area while envisioning the idea of collecting mana. Luckily my design seemed to work, with a faint flow of mana slowly seeping into the enchantment. Though whether or not it has the right gain to loss ratio is up in the air¡­ Quickly the pool I made, along with the decorative stone fountain in the center, started flowing with water. Now if I did this right it should only fill to ten cen before the brim. Leaving it for now I created more planters for Flysa to fill with plants and headed out to the main room. Looking around I didn¡¯t spot her, ¡°Flysa?¡± Her voice returned from the bedroom, ¡°I am filling the planters in here master, but could you come in and add some artificial lights?¡± I hit my right forehead and quickly made my way into the room and added the lights she requested, along with a switch to turn them off at night. Before forgetting I did the same thing to the bathroom then created a large bench to sit on in the main room, which was now filled with vibrant flourishing plant life. Smiling at the sweet fragrance I leaned back and looked around the room. My alcove sure has grown¡­ Which reminds me; I never figured out why it was abandoned¡­ *ting~If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Huh, I have three mana pools? T1, T2? Are they for my tails? I checked my trait list and raised my eyebrows at seeing tail-specific traits. Probably to do with my race, probably will get more with more tails. Curious I pulled up information on both of them.
[?Tail One (Overload Regalia)] - Using mana from this tail¡¯s mana pool causes anything imbued with it to gain immense power and other abilities. If used long enough it can grant permanent abilities to allies or weapons, and even grant sentience to some objects. Any living being you use this on who is subservient or a companion of yours will have a soul link forged with you, and along with gaining some of your power will not be able to betray you.
[?Tail Two (Illusionary Domain)] - Using mana from this tail¡¯s mana pool and spreading it in the surroundings will cause illusions to appear, attacking and distracting your enemies while you yourself become invisible to everyone but your allies. Enemies that step into the field of this mana will randomly have different mental debuffs placed on them. Allies that step into the field of this mana will gain random mental buffs. Amount of illusions is dependent on concentration of mana released. Illusions are limited to a distance twenty times that of the field of mana, but will always spawn inside the field.
Well. I blinked and scratched one of my own ears. That¡¯s not overpowered at all. Shrugging I went through our traits lists I pulled up information on those that were not obvious.
[Fox-Fire Magic] - Replaces all flames generated by your mana with foxfire, which is capable of burning through almost anything.
[Queen] - You have a royal bloodline and have awoken it. Due to this all parameters are increased. All social abilities are increased. When leading your allies are more likely to follow orders, revere you, and gain a bonus to any action.
[True Sight(Greater)] - This allows you to see the mana in all things. Illusions cannot trick you. Liars cannot trick you. Secret paths will be revealed to you. You can see all forms of spirits and ethereal beings.
[Vis-Imbued Fur] - Your fur has tiny Vis crystals inside it, increasing their durability and ease at which they conduct mana.
[Vis-Imbued Skin] - Your skin has tiny Vis crystals inside it, increasing its durability and ease at which it conducts mana.
[Assimilate] - Gain traits of beings you devour enough of.
[Dryad¡¯s Touch] - Plants touched by you get a boosted growth rate and are harder to kill. Can also arouse beings whom you hold affections for.
[Duchess] - You now have a royal bloodline. Increased parameters. Increased social abilities. Bonuses to subordinates when leading.
[Ferocity] - When in combat you do not pull attacks, instead you become vicious and aim for any exposed weak point. Increased damage. Decreased sanity in combat.
Chapter --8 | Raphael and Appoloin ¡°Master, I finished planting.¡± Flysa said with a smile. Scooting over I gestured for her to sit next to me while I finished reading through the trait information. Looking at the trait list with one head I watched Flysa gracefully walking over with the other. Each step was fluid and powerful, as if ready to spring into dance at any moment; or combat. Blushing I turned away and focused all my attention onto the status window. And my body heated up as she drew closer till she finally sat next to me and scooped me up onto her lap. Face now burning as I struggled to pay attention to the trait window Flysa affectionately wrapped her huge arms around me, pressing my back into her soft chest and breaking my concentration. Sighing in defeat I swiped away the window and tilted my heads upward to face Flysa who was happily looking down at me. My cheeks instantly heated up and I hurriedly looked away. We really need clothes. ¡°Is something wrong master?¡± I hurriedly shook my head and sighed again. ¡°¡°No, but we should probably go hunting for something other than orcs.¡±¡± I looked to the wall where the orcs were stored, reminds me we should make a freezer. ¡°But first I need to make us both weapons.¡± Flysa nodded and regretfully let me go. Standing up and clearing my head I moved over to the wall and created a small alcove, then concentrated and pulled the metals out of the earth, expanding my range beyond the alcove and drawing them in streams from the surroundings, then seperated them into different blocks depending on what they were. Soon enough several different sized blocks of metal were sitting on the ground infront of me, the largest being aluminum with sixty cen on all sides, the second being iron directly behind it. I managed to pull out some silver, copper and gold, along with three other metals I couldn¡¯t identify but found them highly reactive to mana. I picked up the 6-cen reddish-black cube to examine it, probably the so called fantasy metals. The largest of the three- being a cube, 20 cen on all sides- was a silver-blue metal that seemed to ¡®sharpen¡¯ my mana when it went through it, for now I would call it mithril. The smallest was the black-red cube I was holding, which considering it both amplified and sharpened my mana I would call it adamantium. The one in the middle being 12 cen on all sides was a purplish-gold metal that solely amplified my magic, which I would label orichulum. Unfortunately to create a weapon of good size for Flysa I would have to use other metals besides the three fantasy ones, I simply didn¡¯t have enough otherwise. Maybe¡­ ¡°Flysa, can you mold yourself a wooden staff with plant manipulation?¡± ¡°Probably master, shall I go outside and try it?¡± She answered from outside the hole I was in. ¡°Ye, but be careful. Also make the staff extremely dense if you can.¡± ¡°Hai Master.¡± I felt the ground gently shake as she walked towards the exit and blushed slightly at the image. Uth! I need to stop this! Shaking my head I focused on created a weapon for me. While I would ideally like a katana or some sort, but I don¡¯t have enough fantasy metals to make a good one. How about just remake my previous weapon? There¡¯s probably plenty of carbon in the ground to make steel for the rod. I hit my left forehead, why didn¡¯t I just do that for Flysa¡¯s? Shaking my head I concentrated on pulling out carbon and infusing it with the iron, from what I remember the correct concentration of carbon in iron for a general sword would be somewhere between .6% and .95%, or was it a mix of the two? Doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll just layer them like in a katana, though I should probably use T-10 steel (tungsten alloy). Also I want it to be a type of spring steel, probably at the level of 5160 which would have .7% chromium and .2% silicon. Usually heating would be a massive problem with getting a blade correct with this, but I can just use transmutation and kinetic magic to get it right. Halving the iron cube I made one half with .9% carbon and .35% silicon mixed with tungsten-iron alloy, the other half had .65% carbon with chromium and silicon put in from the surroundings making a spring steel. Now unlike popular belief folding metals in a blade does not always make them stronger, and is very risky if you aren¡¯t skilled; any pockets or unevenness in the folding will weaken the blade to the point where it would be much better just to not fold it. Luckily I have transmutation that allows me to do it perfectly, but for the average forger their blades would just snap in half. Pausing for moment I looked at the fantasy metals curiously while tapping my right chin. From what I see the steel I am using doesn¡¯t have innate mana qualities, so why not using some of the fantasy metals as an alloy? Though since I don¡¯t know how they will react it could weaken the blade¡­ ¡°¡°Uuuu¡­ I want to try it¡­¡±¡± I wonder if I can use magic to analyze their properties compared to to iron? After all I can focus on vibrations and mana easy enough so why not? Concentrating I sent a pulse of mana into both the iron alloy and the mithril, analyzing what I know about iron and comparing it to the mithril. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. From what I can tell mithril is less like iron in structure and more like, surprisingly, silicon[1], being diamond structured unlike irons[2] body-centered. Does this mean I can replace it as the alloy for silicon in steel? Curiously I scanned the structures or orichulum and adamantium, finding the former to be the same as titanium while the latter being more similar to tungsten and iron. If adamantium works similar then can I use it in replacement of tungsten in the steel alloy? Orichulum would make a good blunt weapon as unlike popular belief titanium is not good for holding a cutting edge, or even being able to be sharpened down that far. While some parts of it can be stronger and lighter than steel, in terms of sharpness titanium is worse than the crummiest of cutting steels. Excitement now boiling in my gut I focused my mana and manipulated the metals, creating a main 1.5 meter long staff composed of two plain types of steel while the spear point was the same except with tungsten and silicon replaced with adamantium and mithril respectively. Meanwhile on the other end I attatched a Orichulum knob, made the same way as an alloy of Titanium C4 with .05% nitrogen, .08% carbon, .015% hydrogen, and .4% oxygen. (C4 Titanium is the strongest and most durable of the C types.) Through the whole weapon I inserted three thin mithril wires to add conductivity. Finished I lifted up the weapon and admired it. A plain steel grey staff with a four cen diameter, a 30 cen long black/blue/red spear blade at one end and a golden colored six cen diameter knob at the other end. I reveled as mana rippled the air around it as I spun it, and a urge to smash something in tingled in my arms as I held it. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve completed the staff as you asked.¡± Flysa called, jolting me out of my reverie. ¡°¡°Ah. Let me see it.¡±¡± Heading out of the hole I was met face to face with a crouching Flysa, who kindly held out a black wooden staff nearly double my height. Holding it I nearly dropped the thing due to its unexpected weight. Lifting it with two hands I sent my magical power into it, and found it easily take in and store my mana inside it. The structure was extremely dense wood, with most of the cells forming a matrix throughout it, amplifying and storing magical power poured into it. Nodding I turned to take it into my hole, but forgot about the length of it. Sighing I levitated what was left of the metal cubes outside and began working to make a glaive. Creating a blade similar in composition to my spear¡¯s except much larger and lower adamantium concentration, then fused the large axe-sword to the end of the pole, creating a decent glaive. Tilting my head to the side I looked at our two weapons and thought of something. Pulling mana out of my first tail I poured it into the two weapons. Instantly the air around them started to vibrate and emit pressure. Holding the steady flow of mana I waited till I had used up half of my tail one¡¯s pool and then stopped. *ting~

Sentient weapons? I blinked in surprise and scratched my left head. Overload regalia did say it could grant sentience. ¡°Eh!?¡± Flysa¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Master it spoke!¡± I glanced at her before picking up the two weapons and tossing her Appoloin. Raphael, can you hear me? ¡°Yes master.¡± A heavenly female voice gently surged in my conscious, ¡°What is it you request of me?¡± I smiled and looked at the spear in my hand, nothing right now, just checking to make sure you¡¯re awake. I felt Raphael smile and nod in the back of my head. Meanwhile Flysa was talking outloud to Appoloin, causing me to smile wryly. ¡°You know she can hear your thoughts right?¡± I teased her. ¡°Eh?¡± She blinked at me before staring intently at Appoloin, who I imagined to be smiling wryly at this point. Soon a large beautiful smile bloomed across Flysa¡¯s face, ¡°This is amazing master.¡± She turned to me with love glowing in her eyes, ¡°thank you.¡± Blushing I turned my heads in opposite directions and scratched my left cheek while muttering ¡°its nothing.¡± Flysa giggled before smiling happily at me, ¡°Shall we go hunting master?¡± Breathing deeply I collected myself and nodded with my left head while looking to the exit with my right, ¡°Ye, let¡¯s go.¡± Chapter --9 | Easy fight, Easy materials Focusing on my sense of smell proved not good for my health, the sweet kind smell of Flysa¡¯s naked body causing my own to heat up involuntarily. Desperately focusing on something else I decided to try sending out a pulse of mana to ¡®scan¡¯ my surroundings, and quickly found an overwhelming amount of animals inhabiting the forest and grassland within ten kilometers of me and Flysa. Quickly we headed towards one of the larger animals I found, going deeper into the forest. After about an hour of walking we were approaching the bear, the vibrations of its heavy body shaking the ground under my feet. Gesturing to Flysa we quietly circled around, or would have if the bear didn¡¯t whirl on us and charge with a roar. Its height on four limbs was comparable to Flysa¡¯s, saying nothing if it stood up on two legs. Black bristly fur that probably would hurt like needles if I touched it, four large beady eyes glowing darkly with pointless anger, and large fangs as long as my hand. Stepping back I twirled Raphael so the mace head was in front, however before I could load it with mana Flysa had already charged ahead with appoloin. The bear changed its target to her, but before it got close she put power into her legs and shot off to the side like a bullet, her feet slammed into the trunk of a tree before she jumped off of it- breaking the tree in the process- and cannonballing towards the bears side, Appoloin swinging downwards like a guillotine, gouging out a large chunk of the bear and a back leg causing the bear to roar in pain. Not giving it time to turn towards Flysa who was readying to charge again I bolted forward, covering the few meters between us in an instant and swung Raphael¡¯s mana-filled mace horizontally towards its lower jaw. Unlike resistance I would expect the knob went through its head like a hot-knife to butter, sending pieces of its mouth, teeth and skull flying through the air. The bear collapsed from shock a moment later and forgetting my surprise I stabbed the mace into its skull, pulverising it. *ting~
You have defeated a level 64 Ferrus Spineutis needle Ursus! You have gained three levels! Raphael has gained three levels! Flysa has gained three levels! Appoloin has gained three levels!
¡°¡°Well, that was anticlimactic.¡±¡± I muttered as I looked at the bear corpse. ¡°Master, do you mind if I devour some of it?¡± Flysa asked with a bit of drool leaking from her mouth. I shook my left head while my right looked at the bear¡¯s pelt. ¡°Go ahead, but leave the pelt. I need to make us some clothes¡­¡± I quickly created kinetic knives and skinned the bear to the best of my ability, starting at the back ankle joint and covering the whole thing instantly, then peeling the skin off the flesh. Flysa hungrily walked up to the corpse and sliced off a large chunk before excitedly unhinging her jaw and shoving the whole thing in her mouth, in the next instant it was swallowed, the large bump her neck instantly receding as it was digested before even reaching anywhere near the stomach. Without waiting she was already peeling off more meat, ignorant of the blood now dripping down her chin onto her breasts before slipping into her valleys. Blushing massively I looked away and focused on transmuting the pelt into clothing. Luckily the bear was absolutely huge, if it wasn¡¯t for the long range of my spear I wouldn¡¯t have been able to hit the jaw. Apparently the bristles in the bear¡¯s fur were infused with large amounts of iron which along with the carbon naturally in the bear¡¯s flesh allowed me to create steel to armor us both. I quickly created a pair of pants for myself with iron protectors for the shin, kneecap and privates. Getting into it I made little polygon designs in the fabric and had the pants expand near my ankles. Moving on to the shirt I created a breastplate composed of steel wires and plates, allowing me to twist in any direction while giving me good protection. Under it I added the bear skin, keeping the sleeves short- only to my elbows- and adding shoulder protectors. I then created a pair of flexible boots and fingerless gauntlets out of strips of leather allowing me full range of motion. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. I then created a much larger version for Flysa, except the pants were replaced with a skirt because¡­ aesthetics. Her boots did travel all the way up her legs and kept her from showing any skin. I then created a metal helmet with a wide vision range for her and two less complex helmets for my own use. *ting~
You have created two sets of B-Rank magic armor! You have gained the trait [Armor Creation (Epic)]
Smiling at the window I handed over the armor to Flysa who took it with wonder sparkling in her eyes. However for a brief moment confusion showed in her eyes, ¡°Master is there something wrong with my body?¡± ¡°Wha?¡± I gave her a confused look, ¡°No, why do you ask?¡± ¡°Because I thought master liked looking at me¡­¡± She said with tears trembling on her eyelashes. Blushing I desperately tried to console her, ¡°n-no, Flysa is very beautiful. It¡¯s just that not wearing clothes is indecent¡­¡± She tilted her head in confusion, ¡°But then you won¡¯t be able to see me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll still be able to see you! Just not naked!¡± I answered with a full blush on all four cheeks. ¡°Mm¡­¡± She looked down at the clothes with trepidation. ¡°I¡¯ll wear them,¡± I sighed in relief, ¡°as long as we don¡¯t have to wear them when we sleep.¡± She said with a frown. I was about to ask why, but stopped myself and sighed in defeat. ¡°¡°Alright. Just make sure to wear them in public.¡±¡± I said while shaking my head and changing into my clothes. One thing I found out about having two heads is that I had to change the shirt into a type that wraps around my back and clips off to the side. It does create a weakness in the clip, but considering how much of my mana is pumped into the thing if people can damage the clip it doesn¡¯t matter where it is. Sighing I turned to Flysa- -and blushed instantly at seeing her breasts causing the breastplate to strain outwards. ¡°Master, this is a bit tight¡­¡± I instantly used transmutation to loosen it and she smiled, ¡°Thank you master.¡± I shook my head, ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡± After all it wasn¡¯t good for my health. ¡°Now then, shall we bring the corpse back to the base?¡± I said while looking at its remains. Flysa had eaten a good chunk of the bears shoulder, speaking of which did she gain- *ting~
Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Thick Skin(Greater)]
I stared at the window for a moment. Isn¡¯t that a bit late? I shook my head, Whatever. Lifting the corpse with Kinetics me and Flysa began the hour long trek home. ---------- Dusting my hands off I smiled in satisfaction as I looked around the new freezer room. *ting~
You have gained the trait [Cold Magic]!
Umu¡­ I probably gained that due to imbuing stones in the ceiling to give off a chilling air. Maybe I need the specific magic to enchant something? ¡°Master, have you finished?¡± Flysa asked from the entrance. Turning around to respond my words caught in my throat at her bare body, not even reacting to the cold. ¡°¡°Why are you naked!?¡±¡± I yelled with blushing cheeks. Flysa tilted her head with a frown, ¡°You said to just make sure to wear clothes in public. We are not in public.¡± My mouths gaped open and closed a couple times before I just sighed and dropped it. I exited the freezer room and into the smiling embrace of Flysa, who suddenly frowned. ¡°Master needs to take her clothes off.¡± ¡°¡°Oi oi!¡±¡± Before I could even protest Flysa was already dexterously unclipping my clothes and sliding them off. Stiff in surprise I could do nothing as I was stripped naked and embraced by a happily smiling Flysa. Flysa then sighed, tightening the hug around me and crushing my faces into her bosom, ¡°Touching master is the best~¡± My faces cramped a bit at the perverted slime, but ultimately being embraced felt good so I let it slide. However Flysa suddenly blinked in surprise as my erection pressed against her skin. Separating from me who was furiously blushing she gazed at my genitals in confusion, ¡°Master¡¯s thing has been getting hard alot recently¡­¡± She inhaled deeply through her nose and tilted her head while I could only stand stock still in embarrassment. ¡°Master has the tingling scent again¡­¡± ¡°E-eh, u-u-um¡­¡± My faces started burning as I struggled to come up with an explanation. Desires waged with my fluctuation emotions. Luckily my escape came in a form other than I thought- *tap tap- Blinking in surprise I looked towards the entrance and sent my senses towards it and my expression hardened. ¡°¡°Flysa.¡±¡± She blinked in confusion, ¡°Yes master?¡± ¡°¡°Get your clothes on. We have visitors.¡±¡± Interlude --1 | Flysa, the first Pain. So much pain. Everything wants to kill me. I just want to help¡­ Plants. Good plants. Helps heal my body. Big angry monster mad at me. Why? I just eat plants. I not in anyones way- Ow! Pain, so much pain. Monster stop? No, new monster kill it. New monster much stronger. Much lowder. New monster approach me; why!? My hiding spot is perfect! New monster scoop me up, food flows into my body from new monster. It is the tastiest I have ever eaten, filling me up then expanding my body. Knowledge from new monster- master- flows into my round spherical body. Knowledge of language, cities, skyscrapers, ethics, hope, dreams, abandonment, loneliness. I see. Master too is lonely like me. I listen to the aura surrounding masters body, flowing gently but firmly around me like a gently waving crescendo mixed with elegant synths and a strong under rumble that puts the largest mountains and waterfalls to shame. My aura is similar now as well, with Master¡¯s having changed the core in my body to be more efficient and potent, even reaching and changing what I now know as my soul on a fundamental level. However I am weak compared to master, who has now given me a name, a name, and the corpse of my attacker- the boar- to eat. Its aura is nowhere near as tasty as masters, but the physical nutrients I will gain from it will help me.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. After devouring it I found my body much stronger than before, and my body far larger. I feel master making choices for me, about what I do not know but I trust master and wrap around her waist, taking in her comforting smell and aura. Master then laid down and I rolled on top to keep her from the cold. Dimly I felt my conscious fading for the first time in my life and I went to sleep. When I awoke my body was smaller and my mana much more potent. Master was also much different than before- now having two heads! But master is master, and I will stay with her no matter what. Time passed and me and Master hunted large green-skinned humanoid beings- orcs according to masters knowledge- and let me happily eat a few to grow stronger. Then master and me went to sleep again and I woke up- before master- much different from before. I had limbs. I had a face. I had breasts. I could finally embrace master as another humanoid. Clutching master- who had changed as well- to my chest I let out a few tears of joy. I could now be a proper object of love for master. I could now walk down beaches with master¡¯s hands in mine. I could talk. I could sing. I could dance. Gently I stroked one of Masters two beautiful heads with a finger. I was much bigger than master, but that was fine. I will protect master. I will do as master wishes, no matter what it might be. If anything tries to harm her then I will devour them. I am Flysa, I am masters first guardian. Chapter -10 | The odd kitsune ¡°Are you sure this is the entrance to a new dungeon?¡± Ryn hesitantly asked, tucking a piece of curly auburn hair behind her triangular cat ears. ¡°How else would you explain it? Help me get the damn door open.¡± Michael said with a grunt, desperately trying to pull the handle out of the door. I sighed and looked at the aura surrounding the door with concern. ¡°Michael, I really think we should leave this alone. We don¡¯t need to open it for reporting the information.¡± Michael scoffed and continued tugging on the door in the ground. The whole thing was made of a single slab of stone easily four meters tall and two wide, easily capable of letting a member of the cyclops race through if it was opened. Most dungeon doors were about this size, although the more powerful ones could be large enough for a small dragon to fit through. Damn bastard, probably wants to get praise from his father. Sighing I put my hand on my sword and approached him, my metal plate armor clanking as I did so. ¡°Mike. We are here to help the disposal of orcs, not discovering new dungeons. We need to go, now.¡± Sighing he let go of the handle and grimaced in frustration, ¡°Fine, but can we come back here after? I really want to try it.¡± Nodding I turned to leave when -*click srrrrrrrrrr- The door easily slid open to the side and out stepped the oddest beast girl I have ever seen. Pure white fox ears perked ontop of her two cute heads, both showing that they would be beautiful when the girl growed older. Long white hair flowed down her back and her pale skin seemed to shine in the light of the rising sun. Two pairs of ruby red eyes observed the four of us, pausing on Ryn and Alice behind me before glancing over me and michael. My eyes then travelled downward and I noticed she was wearing exceptionally high-quality armor, though I couldn¡¯t identify the pelt. Momentarily my breath was stolen by the odd spear she wielded, its tip obviously made of some kind of adamantium. Startling me back into reality was the pale separation of her left-heads pink lips, ¡°Can you understand me?¡± ¡°A-Ah yes.¡± I was momentarily surprised she spoke to us in the divine language but responded nonetheless. Everyone in the world had at least a basic understanding of the language, though she spoke it naturally. A gentle smile alighted both her heads, ¡°Greetings. May I know who you are and why you were pulling on my door?¡± She said with a slight nod. Ryn stepped up, her tail nervously waving behind her; ¡°Sorry for the disturbance, Michael here thought it was a dungeon due to its size.¡± I glanced at Ryn, so she noticed the being''s aura as well. Heck even michael noticed it cause he was sweating buckets. It didn¡¯t help that Ryn threw him into the fire. An amused smirk flittered across the girl¡¯s two faces, ¡°Dungeon eh?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alice then stepped up by Ryn while nervously fiddling with the dark brown hair of her wolf tail. ¡°As for us, we are adventurers that came to thin out the orc populations from Revelulus.¡± ¡°¡°Eh~ Adventureres?¡±¡± She looked at us with sparkling eyes, ¡°Then can I ask you for a favor?¡± A bad prenotion ran through me, ¡°What is it exactly that you need?¡± She grinned, ¡°I want to become an adventurer myself and see the world, however I have no identification as I¡¯ve lived in this forest my whole life and I have no idea where the cities are.¡± She paused and the other head continued, ¡°You are free to request something in return, but I¡¯ll offer my and my companion¡¯s protection while traveling.¡± I looked to my four friends for help. Michael and Alice shrugged, while Ryn gave me a look; ¡®not like we have much of a choice.¡¯ Sighing I turned back to the fox girl, ¡°We have nothing better to do, but we first have to complete the quest for killing some of the orcs.¡±This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Both her heads nodded, ¡°¡°Very well.¡±¡± She tilted her right head, ¡°We can also assist with this if you want by keeping stragglers and flankers off your backs.¡± Relief tapped on my chest and I nodded gratefully, ¡°Thank you- er¡­¡± The fox girl smiled sadly, ¡°I do not have a name. I was abandoned by my parents when born and I¡¯ve only ever met my companion who just calls me master.¡± ¡°Ah sorry.¡± I scratched my head in embarressment, ¡°A-anyway. I am Hyls Stonebrook, this is my friend Michael Furosis,¡± I said while clasping him on the shoulder, then gestured to the other two, ¡°The catgirl is Ryn and the wolfkin is Alice.¡± The foxgirl raised an eyebrow on each head, ¡°No last names for you two?¡± She asked them. Ryn shook her head, ¡°We are both commoners that graduated from the grand magic academy of Revelulus.¡± ¡°¡°Ah. Sorry.¡±¡± Alice shook her head with a toothy wry smile on her maw; ¡°Don¡¯t be. We have a much better life than most, especially being a C-rank party.¡± ¡°Well,¡± I interupted, ¡°Shall we go?¡± The foxgirl gave me an amused smile, ¡°Sure, by the way¡± She stepped to the side and I noticed a giant of a woman behind her, ¡°this is Flysa.¡± ¡°Greetings.¡± Flysa said with a nod of her head, her short black hair swaying slightly. Brilliant azure eyes sat in her amazonian face filled with strong womanly features. Her skin was soft green-white and muscular. I blinked when I noticed two tusks peeking out of her lips like an orc, though i¡¯ve never seen an orc like this. Maybe a half breed? She wore high-quality armor similar to the beast girl, but had a type of glaive instead of a spear; though not to any reduction of quality with its adamantium blade. ¡°W-well. Why don¡¯t we get going?¡± I said, slightly overwhelmed by the power the aura of the pair. ¡°¡°Sure.¡±¡± ¡°Ah,¡± Alice interrupted, ¡°C-can you please withhold your aura though? We won¡¯t be able to go anywhere unnoticed with it out like that.¡± ¡°¡°Aura?¡±¡± She asked while tilting her left head. Alice blinked, ¡°Do, do you not know about it?¡± The foxgirl shook her two heads, while Flysa was frowning slightly, ¡°Master¡¯s aura is definitely powerful¡­ Umu but it feels good to bask in¡­¡± she muttered and showed mixed expressions of longing and indecision. ¡°Um, do you mind me asking how old you are?¡± Alice asked curiously. The fox girl¡¯s expression cramped; ¡°Young. I¡¯m not even ten yet.¡± Ten? Not even? She looks like she¡¯s thirteen though¡­ ¡°Eh? Where have you been living?¡± Ryn asked while observing her. She shrugged and gestured to the forest around us; ¡°¡°Here. Haven¡¯t seen anywhere else except the grassland.¡±¡± I blinked in surprise, she says she was abandoned at birth. But someone must have took care of her right? ¡°Well, it is said kitsunes go through childhood extremely quickly¡­¡± Ryn muttured while looking at the girl with pity. However, ¡°What!? Kitsune!?¡± I shouted and checked behind the girl, sure enough there were actually multiple tails, both with snow white fur that occasionally had a blue spark zap through it. Ryn and Alice gave me a disapproving glare and the foxgirl- no kitsune, tilted her head in confusion. ¡°¡°Is it that surprising?¡±¡± Alice nodded, ¡°Kitsunes are very rare. They live for a long time, are extremely powerful, and generally don¡¯t have many children, if at all. Finding a child kitsune is unheard of as they are usually protected by their mother until they grow at least three tails and are considered adult.¡± The kitsune¡¯s faces cramped slightly; ¡°that probably makes me a prime target for a slaver doesn¡¯t it?¡± The four of us hardened our faces when we realized she was probably right. Meanwhile Flysa was stewing behind her, ¡°I won¡¯t let anyone take master!¡± She declared and promptly embraced the kitsune who blushed in response. I sighed wryly at seeing the interaction. Ryn spoke up with a slight smile seeing the Kitsune clueless on how to continue with her follower intimately embracing her in front of others, ¡°For now me and Alice can teach you how to repress your aura. Though considering your power you would need something to store it so it doesn¡¯t explode the instant you release the pent up pressure.¡± ¡°¡°Do you know any materials that do that?¡±¡± The kitsune asked from the embrace of Flysa, still blushing but seemingly given up with disengaging for a while. ¡°Mm. Most crystals will store mana, the best being diamond followed by Sapphire. However you should know the crystal will change depending on the potency and affinity of the mana put inside it.¡± Ryn responded. ¡°Umu, I can probably get some of those.¡± the kitsune nodded and tapped Flysa¡¯s arm to let her go; which she hesitantly did. Inhaling deeply she tapped her foot on the ground. A pulse of mana radiated out from her foot and wisps of something sprung from the ground and collased in the form of two nearly transparent crystal necklaces. Me and the others stared in shock as the kitsune happily picked up the necklaces and drapped one over each neck. ¡°¡°There. Shall we get going?¡±¡± She asked with a smile. Chapter -11 | Abnormal ¡°I still can¡¯t believe you managed to learn how to repress your aura in only one try¡­¡± the cat-girl Ryn said to me while holding her head in her hands. I smiled wryly and tried to cheer her up, ¡°Don¡¯t compare yourself to me. I¡¯m highly abnormal in many ways.¡± Ryn lowered her eyelids, ¡°I¡¯ve realized that. Not only using the ancient art of transmutation but doing it without chants¡­ Haaa¡­.¡± ¡°Master is amazing after all.¡± Flysa said with certainty. Currently we were sitting in their camp which was an hour away from my old home. I¡¯m going to miss that place¡­ Ryn and Alice were teaching me to repress my aura, and Flysa was struggling to copy. Apparently aura is the excess mana that is leaked out of living things after their bodies reached full capacity, and I had a ton of it. So much that even the two boys Michael and Hyls could sense it. Ryn and Alice, being mages, were overwhelmed by the amount of mana I had streaming off of me; which apparently was the largest aura they had ever sensed for more than a moment, and only vaguely I got the comparison that I might have as much as the grandmaster of the academy they graduated from. I kindof want to meet him¡­ Well no matter. Perking the ears on my left head I picked up the sounds of Michael barreling through the forest along with the sound of several heavy runners behind him. Soon enough orc roars became hearable by the rest of the group. Ryn and Hyls faces hardened and quickly grabbed their weapons, a wand and sword respectively. Meanwhile Alice calmly stood up with a small smile on her wolven face and dusted herself off. Flysa merely stood up and brought Appoloin to bear, facing the direction of the orcs. Picking up my spear I leisurely stood behind Ryn and his group, motioning for Flysa to do the same before turning to Hyls, ¡°looks like Michael brought back company.¡± He nodded. ¡°Looks like it. Considering the amount of roars we might not be able to do this safely.¡± I tilted my head, ¡°Then do you want me and Flysa to thin them out?¡± He looked at me for a moment before nodding with a sigh. ¡°Don¡¯t push yourself.¡± I nodded and turned to the forest just as Michael burst into the clearing, several dents on his armor as he bolted towards us, ¡°Run! It¡¯s an Eli-¡± Me and flysa bolted past him, the ground trembling in our wake. The first orc to jump into the clearing was cut down by Flysa¡¯s Appoloin, the next three were crushed and flung to the side by the mace end of Raphael. I flicked my ears and grasped the number of orcs, twelve left. The ones we just killed were probably the faster of the bunch. One of the remaining ones is larger than the rest if I go by the vibrations. ¡°O-Oi! What the hell!¡± Michael shouted in confusion as he desperately tried to get his bearings after we rushed past him. ¡°There seems to be eleven normal orcs and one larger one, how many do you want us to leave for you guys?¡± I asked, looking back over my shoulder with my right head and ignoring Michael. Hyls¡¯ face cramped slightly, ¡°Leave three of them, we won¡¯t be able to take more than that. Also if you could get rid of the bigger one¡­¡± ¡°¡°Got it.¡±¡± I said and dashed into the woods, followed by Flysa. The other orcs spotted us and charged with raised weapons. The one in the front was larger and darker skinned than all the others, not to mention wielded a rustead greatsword as large as me. I decided to get rid of the big one first, and shot a kinetic bullet through his brain. The rest stopped in surprise as their commander dropped dead with no head. Bad move. Flysa instantly covered the distance and swung Appoloin in a wide arc, mowing three orcs down in a single swing. An instant later four more dropped dead, two by my spear and the two by kinetic pulses that destroyed their insides. The last three hesitantly looked at us, then decided to charge recklessly. Happy that they made it easy for us we led them back to the others. Bursting into the clearing we found them all ready and jumped over their heads. The orcs recklessly charged in, at this point I don¡¯t know if it is stupidity or courage. Maybe both.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Stepping back I let the four adventurers take charge of the situation. Michael and Hyls took the front as tanks, while Ryn started chanting a magic aria and Alice seemed to fade slightly before moving off to the orcs side. I blinked in surprise as a faint magic wave pulsed from Hyls and Michael, and even more so when the orcs gained a gleam in their eyes and headed straight towards them, not even noticing their companion falling down with a knife in his neck, courtesy of Alice. I guess the spell is similar to a taunt? Watching them barely holding back the blows of the two orcs was curious. Are they really that strong? Just as I was contemplating Ryn finished her chant, and four spears of fire shot out of the tip of her wand and impaled the two orcs, finishing them off. *ting~

Sighing the four of them relaxed, lowering their guards. I glanced at the notification window; so it automatically considered them party members? Shrugging I walked up to them, ¡°What should we do with the corpses in the woods?¡± I asked. Hyl turned to me while stretching his arm, ¡°Take the tusks, you can turn them in for subjugation rewards.¡± I nodded and went into the woods with Flysa, returning a couple minutes later with twenty six tusks, six of which were different then the rest; two black tusks and four serrated. ¡°Ah, those are the tusks from a high orc and greater orcs respectively.¡± Ryn answered before pausing and shaking her head. ¡°Honestly you guys are near S-rank to be able to kill them like that.¡± ¡°¡°S-rank?¡±¡± I asked with both heads tilted, is it like in all those novels? ¡°Ah, I guess you wouldn¡¯t know.¡± Ryn continued, ¡°There are eleven ranks in the adventurer¡¯s guild; the normal ranks start with G and go up to A, from then on it is S, SA, SS, and finally X. G is a bit lower than what a normal human would be able to do, F is the average. E is considered just underneath the level of a soldier, while D is a full-fledged adventurer. C, which is what we are at, is skilled. B and A are powerful but still within the realm of normalcy. Anything higher than that is considered abnormal.¡± She paused and pondered for a bit; ¡°For example, S rank would be on the level of fighting a lesser drake. X would be on the level of fighting an actual dragon, and there are only two registered X ranks in the world.¡± ¡°Registered?¡± I raised an eyebrow. Ryn shrugged, ¡°There could be more, hidden in countries and such. They¡¯re considered as strong as natural disasters at that point, so its natural countries try and rope them in. The only one I know of that is not registered would be the grand archmage of Revelulus academy, Zach Ulosiv.¡± Umu¡­ So I would be at S-rank¡­ I wonder what other enemies will be like. Or where I could fight a drake. Since they defeated enough orcs to fill the quota (which is really only one orc) we started heading back towards the city where they lived. We would be there in three days if everything went well. Chapter -12 | The adventurers Guild ¡°¡°Umuuu~ So, Bored...¡±¡± Hyls laughed slightly at my dissatisfaction, ¡°What can you expect? It¡¯s a merchants caravan after all.¡± Currently we were waiting behind a large procession of wagons, the city gates towering several meters in the air a little ways from us. The city was actually the capital Revelulus, surprisngly close to the forest of Gnidne. Apparently the city housed the entrance to three dungeons, giving it a constant revenue through monster cores and gatherable materials, though one of the dungeons was strictly for nobles and their knights. ¡°Hoh, looks like they finished checking the caravans.¡± Michael cheerfully said as the people ahead of us started moving forward. Smiling brightly I made sure that my new cloak was covering my tails before hurriedly approaching the gates with Ryn and the rest, Flysa protectively following a step behind me. A guard stepped forward to greet us, ¡°-----?¡± The guard said in a language I didn¡¯t recongnize, though I already expected it. Ryn and the other three tapped the center of their chests from which crystal cards- their guild plates- emerged. They then showed them to the guard while Ryn gestured to us, ¡°------ -- ---- ---- -------- --- -- ----- ----- --- ---------.¡± The guard looked at us with a frown, then balked in surprise at seeing my two heads. ¡°-------- --- ---------- ---- --. -----! ------ ----- -- --------- ----- --¡± The guard called as he ran off. ¡°--- --.¡± Another armored soldier gruffly responded as he stepped forward and gave us a glare. ¡°Alright, that guard is going to get the captain to interview you two, it shouldn¡¯t be long.¡± Ryn explained. I sighed, now we have to wait again¡­ A couple minutes later a giant human exited the guard post and approached us. His gaze passed over Flysa and landed on me. He then raised an eyebrow, ¡°Want to do the information gathering in private?¡± He said in the supposed divine tongue. I nodded with both heads and followed him with Flysa tailing behind me. Entering the guard post we climbed a flight of stairs and entered what looked like an office room. While I was looking around curiously the guard captain sat in his seat and gestured for us to sit across from him. ¡°So, first I¡¯m going to have to know your names and race.¡± I twitched uncomfortably, ¡°What if I have no name?¡± He looked at me for a moment before glancing at the sphere on his desk, ¡°then you will have to decide on a name for yourself.¡± I sighed and looked at the ceiling before responding. ¡°My friend¡¯s name is Flysa, as for mine¡­¡± What should I call myself? ¡°Immuta.¡± I looked at the guard captain, ¡°Immuta will be my name.¡± ¡°Very well Immuta, and now for your races and ages?¡± The guard captain said with a small smile. ¡°General races or the actual race in the status?¡± ¡°General. Having the exact race doesn¡¯t matter too much.¡± ¡°I am a type of Kitsune and my friend here is a humanoid slime.¡± He raised an eyebrow at that and glanced at the crystal sphere again. Guess its some kind of lie detector. Sighing he shook his head and pulled out a piece of paper. ¡°Ages?¡± ¡°Both of us are under ten years old.¡± He nodded and scribbled a series of symbols on the paper. ¡°Are you guys going to be registering at the adventurer¡¯s guild?¡± ¡°¡°Yes.¡±¡± ¡°Then you will have to pass a physical and mental examination, and you¡¯ll likely be assigned a mentor depending on your level and entering rank due to being under thirteen.¡± I grimaced at that. ¡°Well no matter, you have been documented down. Usually I would have to get you to pay a tax, but considering your youth I¡¯ll waive it.¡± ¡°¡°Thank you.¡±¡± He shook his head and gestured to the door as he stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s get you back to your friends.¡± I nodded and exited the room with Flysa. Leaving the building I nodded to Ryn and the others who had relieve expressions on their faces. ¡°¡°Shall we get going?¡±¡± I asked with a smile. ¡°Mm.¡± Ren nodded and smiled. ¡°By the way,¡± I started and bowed, ¡°I am Immuta, it¡¯s nice to meet you.¡± Ryn and Alice laughed, ¡°Decided on your name?¡± ¡°¡°Mm.¡±¡± ¡°Master¡¯s name is nice.¡± Flysa said with a smile, causing me to wryly smile myself. After all she had been restraining herself from hugging me. Surprisingly the guard building was actually big enough for Flysa to stand in, I wonder if all the buildings in this city are big enough for her. Hopefully at least the inns.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. We quickly entered the city and started making our way through the diverse bustling streets to the adventurer¡¯s guild. The road was smooth cobble, and the majority of the houses were made of wood or smooth stone that was probably constructed with magic. The races that walked the street were extremely diverse, with everything from mouse people to lizardkin. After an hour of walking while silencing some of the noise with kinetics we finally reached the large guild hall situated near the center of the city, which was basically a castle in itself, though mostly empty space. Quietly we entered the giant entrance hall filled with tables and adventurers merrily eating and talking then made our way over to the receptionist counters where we waited in line with a bit less obscurity. ¡°Hey! Hyls group is back!¡± A man yelled from the thong and a few greetings were sent flying our way. After a few moments we made it to the counter where a female receptionist, green hair and white skin, greeted us with a smile. Ryn grinned at seeing her, ¡°Hello Mandy, we are here to turn in the orc subjugation request and introduce two new people to the guild.¡± She said while pushing me and Flysa forward. I nodded to her, ¡°Greetings. My name is Immuta and my friend here is Flysa.¡± Mandy smiled brilliantly at me, ¡°Nice to meet you! I¡¯ll have jeff take care of the two¡¯s administration. As for the rest of you, can I see your subjugation trophies?¡± A man came up and lead me and Flysa through one of the hallways while Ryn and the rest turned in all the orc tusks we gathered, we had agreed before for them to just turn them in then split the money between us. ¡°Alright, you said your name was Immuta right? Mind if I just call you Im? Anyway an examiner will be down in a moment so please wait here.¡± After showing us to a sandy testing arena near the center of the castle our guide left us to wait. I sighed and stroked my tails under my cloak. Having them constricted by the heavy leather did nothing to make my mood better, and now I had to wait again. Flysa suddenly scooped me up and carefully hugged me to her chest, ¡°Umu~ Master I don¡¯t like having clothes between us!¡± She cried while rubbing her face into my left head¡¯s cheek. Guess she has reached her limit. Awkwardly smiling I reached up and pat her head to calm her down. ¡°You¡¯ll have to wait till we find an inn to stay at before taking your clothes off.¡± She pouted and looked at me with tears in her eyes. ¡°But-¡± ¡°No buts.¡± I placed a finger on her lips, ¡°Be patient.¡± Bloody pins my cheeks are burning. A faint blush colored Flysa¡¯s cheeks and she meekly nodded. Sighing I let myself rest in her embrace while I opened up our statuses.

Chapter -13 | The power of SS-rank ¡°So you two are the new recruits?¡± An old wiry man approached us from the hallway. His skin was weathered but not wrinkly, and he walked with a slight hunch on his back. Steel white hair was tied behind his head in a small bun similar to Japanese in my previous world. However¡­ ¡°master, his aura¡­¡± I know. This old man is strong. Even though he was repressing his aura the air around him seemed to carry a certain ¡®law¡¯, as if whatever stepped into a couple dozen centimeters of him would have to follow his will. I stood up while observing the old man, ¡°Yes, we are, and I am assuming you are the examiner?¡± The old man smirked, ¡°Hoh, and why do you think that?¡± I frowned and bluntly gestured to the air around him without knowing how to describe it. ¡°Ah, you can sense my restrained domain? Interesting.¡± He appraised me again. ¡°Well then children, shall we begin? Feel free to use any magic and physical abilities to try and take me down.¡± He said while casually walking over to one end of the fighting ring. ¡°¡°Flysa.¡±¡± I called out to her while taking off my cloak. ¡°Yes master?¡± ¡°¡°Don¡¯t hold back against this old man.¡±¡± ¡°Hai.¡± With that we both walked into the arena, in all honesty I was kind of nervous. That area around him truly unnerved me. It wasn¡¯t his aura, but more like an extension of him. I believe he called it a domain? Raphael, come. ¡°Yes master.¡± With a thought Raphael materialized in my hands and I took a stance against the old man. One thing I learned about soul weapons from Alice is that they can turn into immaterial form at will and be stored in your body in some form or another. With Flysa standing by me with Appoloin the old man across from us smiled softly. ¡°Soul weapons? You young ones are full of surprises. Well, begin whenever you¡¯re ready.¡± Instantly after he finished speaking I fired a condensed kinetic bullet at his face while charging, the ground breaking under my and Flysa¡¯s feet. However without even moving his mana the old man let the bullet strike him- *tinkrr but it broke apart on hitting his domain, the mana seemingly neutralized. Narrowing my eyes I reached him in the next instant and thrust at his face. Barely tilting his body the spear was avoided, and I applied kinetic magic to my arm, swinging downwards towards his shoulder like a rocket. Twisting he avoided the spear and with a gentle step he moved backwards. Growling I glared at the man while I glanced at Flysa with my left head. The bastard was positioning me between her and him. Applying kinetic force to my feet the ground exploded as I slid along it like ice, Focusing I rapidly tried to kite him to get Flysa behind him while bombarding him with blows. However the man avoided everything like a fluid dancer. Whenever I tried to use magic against him his domain somehow negated it. Annoyed but thrilled at the same time I slammed my foot into the ground causing it to balk with a wave of kinetics. As expected when it reached his domain the kinetic magic couldn¡¯t pass through and the ground subsided somewhat, only moved by its surroundings. But the old man didn¡¯t even lose balance on the rolling ground, and glanced upwards spotting Flysa- who I boosted into the air with the wave- crashing down towards him with Appoloin. Stepping to the side his hand flowed upwards and gently snagged the blade in between his fingers before he rotated while pulling Flysa along then threw her at me- with Flysa yelling in surprise. Quickly I created a cushion of kinetics and caught her while I slid around and aimed the tip of Raphael at him Chaotic Smite! A blue-red lightning bolt shot from Raphael¡¯s tip, and upon hitting the man¡¯s domain actually pushed it back, causing him to widen his eyes. Grinning I instantly pulled mana from both of my tails, imbuing Raphael, Flysa and Appoloin with overload regalia while spreading the second tails mana around me. Instantly illusions separated from me and charged the old man next to Flysa who was shattering the ground with each step while charging.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. Now it was Flysa¡¯s turn to attack the elder, who dodged her cleaving swings with as much or more ease than he dealt with Raphael and me, and in disappointment I found my illusions disappearing upon getting close to him. Damn that domain. Propping up Raphael I took aim, Lightning load! Chaotic Smite! Double casting along with (overload regalia) caused a giant lightning bolt as thick as my waist to pierce towards the man; his hand blurred and thrust towards the lightning bolt just as it left Raphael¡¯s tip, mana coalescing on his palm. In the next instant the surroundings were dyed white with a thunderous roar. I cursed myself for forgetting how bright lightning actually is and quickly recover my vision to find the two tracks of the mans feet gouged through the ground, his palm pointing upwards at the sky as he smiled at me. Flysa recovered a moment later and prepared to attack him. He glanced at her for a moment before smirking and his domain exploded, instantly covering the field with an oppressive weight. Gritting my teeth I strengthened my legs with kinetics, only to find the mana in my legs disappearing faster than I gathered it. Flysa had already fallen to one knee with Appoloin propping her up as she glared at the old man. Gradually his domain was pulled back into himself and let me breathe easily again. Flysa who was closer suffered worse, and was now panting while collapsed. At some point my illusionary domain was also dispelled. Though I doubt it is an actual domain now that I felt that. The old man kindly watched us as we gathered ourselves before speaking, ¡°Despite being children not even a year old you have done very well.¡± I blinked in surprise and stared at him. He laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t be so surprised. How else would you explain not having a domain despite the enormous amount of mana you possess?¡± I frowned and asked him, ¡°What exactly is a domain? What does it do and how can I get one?¡± He smiled kindly, ¡°A domain is an area of influence exuded by older bodies that possess high amounts of mana after being saturated by the souls essence. The older a being is, generally the more powerful and large their domain is. How should I put it- think of your domain as a kingdom, inside that kingdom anything you do is considered ¡®law¡¯. Opposing magics cannot remain in your domain without your permission, and your own magics are amplified. The only way for another person to cast magic in your domain is if their¡¯s overlaps yours. As for how you can get one- simply age. Domains grow as you get older and your body ages. Babies, no matter how powerful or potent their mana, will not have a domain. Children might be lucky to have a small one.¡± I tilted my left head and asked with my right, ¡°But my body is already that of a pre-adolescent. Why don¡¯t I have one?¡± ¡°Good observation- but it is simply because you have not actually aged into an pre-adolescent, but rather evolved didn¡¯t you? Your body is still as fresh as a newborn. Umu, There was a case once where an alchemist and necromancer collaborated to make an army of dragon homunculi, however while their soldiers had massive amounts of mana they did not have domains simply due to the fact they were freshly born, even with bodies that seemed to have matured to full adults. While capable of taking down A-ranks and lower their lack of a domain made them common fodder for anyone above S. Infact having a domain is a requirement of having S-rank, and is the main divider between the normal and abnormal.¡± I groaned, ¡°So I have to wait to grow older? Not having a domain seems like a massive demerit¡­¡± The old man smirked, ¡°Why do you think the guild has people under age thirteen get a mentor if they qualify? Before that age, no matter what race you are, you would be extremely lucky to have any resistance to another¡¯s domain; much less possess one yourself.¡± ¡°¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±¡± I sighed and grumbled to myself, so even if I am extremely powerful at the moment I won¡¯t be able to do anything to those with a domain. Fuck. ¡°Master¡­¡± Flysa worriedly called out to me while struggling to stand. Hurriedly I moved over to her and used my small body to prop her up. Ignoring my attempts to help her stand she merely wrapped her arms around me and dragged me into her lap, ¡°I wasn¡¯t able to protect master¡­¡± She muttered with regret and I comfortingly pet her head. ¡°¡°Don¡¯t worry about it¡± We¡¯re both not old enough to possess a domain right now.¡± I said and sighed, letting myself sink into her chest. Meanwhile the old man was kindly gazing at us, ¡°Still, what surprises me the most is that you actually have resistance to my domain at your age, your familiar has it because of your mana, but you are truly abnormal. By any chance are you reincarnated?¡± I shook and whirled to the old man in surprise, who merely smiled and shook his head, ¡°Guessed so. I heard about powerful souls such as dragons and gods occasionally being reborn after dying, in fact I actually met an ancient brooddragon reborn as an elf. But I never expected to meet a young reincarnator. Well,¡± He sighed and stretched his back, ¡°I won¡¯t pry into your previous life, especially since among reincarnated its normal not to remember everything, however;¡± He looked at me seriously, ¡°Be careful. There are many who would take advantage of you due to your youth and soul. I will see about mentoring you but you can never be too careful.¡± I nodded with a sigh, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll make sure on that. What rank are you by the way old man?¡± He grinned, ¡°SS.¡± Chapter -14 | Infodump A day has passed, and currently I am having tea with the old man at a small shop in the city; who I learned was named Jack Liord and a famous person in the city among other things. Nicknamed the ¡®flowing shield¡¯ among various other things. ¡°So the pressure you used was your aura spread throughout your domain?¡± I asked with my right head while my left sipped the mint tea in my hands. ¡°Mm.¡± Jack nodded as he gently placed down his cup, ¡°Domains cannot affect the physical world alone, only mana.¡± After our duel yesterday Flysa and I completed registration to the adventurer¡¯s guild and Jack became our mentor, since then I have been bombarding him with questions about domains. What I understand is this: three things affect the size and strength of a domain; age and the purity of essence respectively (which is called Ki in some cultures) and level that affects both. Your age only has to do with the growth level of your domain, if you are young your domain will not be as big as someone who is thousands of years older. However domain growth normally takes place mostly in the first thirty years of your life, growing much slower after anywhere from 15 to 40 years after your domain is formed; depending on the race. While domains can be formed later in life, most domains are not mature or fully formed before ten to thirteen years of age, simply because the body hasn¡¯t had enough time to take in the souls essence in its pure form and ¡®reflect¡¯ that in its environment. In some cases- if the soul¡¯s ki purity is extremely high- the time to form a domain can be reduced by three to five years, but it is very rare. However you would never find a baby human with a domain simply because there isn¡¯t enough time. Apparently there is some ways of speeding up the bodies intake of essence which can supposedly accelerate it, but it has never been proven. However that says nothing of ¡®awakening¡¯ a domain. Let me put it this way, everyone who has reached 10 - 13 years old will have domain resistance, meaning mana inside their bodies can no longer be drained or altered by the domain of another person. They also will be prime to ¡®awaken¡¯ their own domain- though it is extremely difficult and not everyone can do it. 10-13 is merely the earliest estimate a domain can form, but does not guarantee its formation. Infact, according to Jack, most beings don¡¯t even awaken their domain until well over a hundred years old. Elves who are known to do it at the earliest usually only manage at the age of thirty to sixty. Humans would be lucky if they managed to awaken one in their lifetime. There are certain things that make domains easier to form though- usually being of royal blood or having a noble trait. Races that are related to spirits- kitsunes for example- also have an easier time waking domains (Ghosts are really good at awakening domains. Not to mention they can¡¯t be physically harmed so if you don¡¯t have a domain...). But none of this affects the strength of domains, only the size and growth. To actually make your domain more influential you would have to either A; have very potent ki, or B; increase your level. However no matter how influential your domain is, it still can¡¯t stop physical attacks like, apparently, an aura can. Which brings me to the next slew of questions I asked Jack, who merely smiled at my enthusiasm and answered them in turn. ¡®Aura¡¯ is excess mana generated by you that hangs around your body and surroundings like a mist. Most people aren¡¯t able to control this aura as it has detached from their cores influence; spheres inside one¡¯s body that allow one to produce mana from essence and control it like a muscle. However it is possible to train yourself to be able to manipulate your aura, and when combined with a domain can create an extremely difficult to pass barrier. Since aura¡¯s are made of mana produced by your body, they have the same properties; they can be used to produce physical or immaterial phenomena in the form of magic. If you say spread your aura around you and ¡®instruct¡¯ it to stop physical attacks, then it will do that. Tell it to stop foreign movement around you, and it will do that. This is how Jack stopped me and Flysa from moving, since aura¡¯s only resist other aura¡¯s but cannot resist domains; he simply used his domain to disperse our aura¡¯s while applying his own in a pressure field. The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. It should be cautioned that the system doesn¡¯t register aura¡¯s or domains, so there is no way to tell the strength of either except your own intuition. Jack sighed, ¡°Still, I¡¯m surprised you actually managed to push back my domain with a spell, not to mention force me to use mana to defend against it.¡± Domains aren¡¯t omnipotent, and neither are aura¡¯s. A domain can only disperse opposing mana as fast as its influence allows, overwhelm that limit with pure quantity or speed and you will still be able to harm your enemy. Aura¡¯s also have a limit- they disperse relatively quickly and are only replaced as the cores in one¡¯s body generate new mana to replace old mana, exhaust it and there will be nothing protecting your body. Not to mention aura¡¯s require a constant state of awareness, unlike mana that is connected to your core they cannot be used instinctively. Let your guard down and an arrow can swiftly pierce your throat. Besides that I learned that different people actually have different domain types, though most are generally what is called ¡®dense-domain¡¯, which is categorized as a domain that has high influence but is relatively small. Rarer is what is called ¡®mist-domain¡¯ which grow larger extremely quickly but do not have much influence. Since domains of this type are much larger they make some long-range magics possible. There are a few others that are categorized by the way the domain affects mana, such as ¡®Thief Domain¡¯ which actually converts opposing mana to the domain owners. Another would be the elemental domains, which convert foreign mana into magic phenomena depending on the type (i.e Frozen domain would convert opposing mana to ice, fire domain would convert to fire, etcetera.). On another note- indirect magic attacks can go through a domain in some cases. Make a spear out of the earth surrounding you and huck it at someone and their domain won¡¯t stop it, maybe crumble it due to lack of mana holding it together, but won¡¯t stop it. However shoot a blade of wind at someone and as soon as the mana disappears the wind will disperse. This makes my specialization of Kinetic magic practically useless, which grates on my nerves. Unless I use it to launch something like a cannon I won¡¯t be able to affect domains users. If my domain resistance was high enough that what is inside my body won¡¯t be affected then I could use it to accelerate myself, but still won¡¯t be able to use it outside of me. I sighed and leaned back in my chair, ¡°Really no definite way to speed up the formation is there?¡± I mumbled. ¡°You can try meditating, but that has never been proven to actually accelerate it aside from some rumors.¡± Jack shrugged, ¡°On another note, why don¡¯t we head into a dungeon tomorrow?¡± I perked up and grinned at him with both heads, ¡°¡°Really?¡±¡± He chuckled lightly, ¡°Ya ya, I figured you hadn¡¯t been in one before. If we head down to floor thirty of Erocdrah we¡¯ll find A-rank monsters without domains for you to compete with. It will be good for you to fight something on your level for once. After that I plan on teaching you two proper martial arts, any objections?¡± Flysa looked at me and I shook my two heads, ¡°none. It will be good to receive official training.¡± ¡°Great.¡± Jack smiled, ¡°Until then why don¡¯t I show you two around the city? You might not need weapons or armor but you are sorely lacking in knowledge.¡± We silently left the tea shop and started exploring. The city was split into several quadrants, the east for noble, north and south for craftsmen and the market respectively, and the west was split into two parts for the middle class and closer to the wall was the slums. A river ran through the south-east side of the city, allowing barges to come in and sell or buy wares or allowing nobles to quickly travel to other places. In the rough center of the city was the adventuring district, and where two of the dungeons were located (Erocdrah and Gninnigeb) while the third (Elbon) was in the noble district. Gninnigeb was a dungeon with about a hundred floors that hosted monsters from G to A rank, but no monsters with domains. As with all dungeons the monsters grew stronger the farther down you went, so most people stuck to the upper fifty floors that has monsters up to C rank. Erocdrah was a dungeon that¡¯s lowest level monster was B-rank, and upon reaching floor thirty you started getting A-rank monsters that would be comparable with S-ranks if they had domains. Below floor 35 monsters with domains started appearing. The lowest anyone had gone and lived was floor 57 where a supposed SS rank monster appeared. It¡¯s true depth is unknown, but considering its strength it is estimated to have well over a hundred floors. Besides the dungeons the city¡¯s other specialty was crafted goods and armors made from varying monster materials, and its army which was known to have exquisite weaponry. After the day was over me and Flysa headed back to the inn and went to bed, Flysa hugging my body as we slept. Chapter -15 | Laitaps Favor ¡°¡°Uuu¡­¡±¡± Dimly I woke up, snuggling into Flysa¡¯s warm body as the cool morning seeped in through the windows. Even though the sun barely tipped over the horizon people were already going about their days, producing a clamour of footsteps, creaky wheels and mumbled greetings on the street. ¡°Morning~ Master~¡± Flysa gently whispered in one of my ears, lighting up my faces with a warm smile. ¡°¡°Morning Flysa.¡±¡± I said sleepily. She lightly giggled then we fell into a comfortable lull, my two tails swishing gently across the bed. Sometime later when the sun was a bit higher in the horizon we finally managed to get up and dressed. Jack would be meeting us at the adventurer¡¯s guild to take us into Erocdrah dungeon, and the meeting time was set to be a little after the morning bell; which will go off in a few minutes. Exiting the inn we leisurely made our way to the guild only speeding up slightly after the bell. Upon reaching the entrance Jack waved to us, ¡°Shall we get going?¡± He asked while glancing at the surroundings in amusement. I tilted my left head and shrugged. Nodding he started walking while gesturing for us to follow, ¡°The first thing to worry about when going into a dungeon is supplies, and since we are going to the thirtieth floor of Erocdrah we need enough supplies to last at least five months.¡± I started and stared at him, ¡°¡°Five months!?¡± What is the size of this dungeon!?¡± He chuckled, ¡°I guess I didn¡¯t tell you, Erocdrah is the largest dungeon on this continent; its sheer size warrants whole battalions- or raids- to be formed just to travel ten floors. The first ten are at the size where it would take three days for the average rank-A adventurer to go straight from the entrance to the exit of a single floor, not even taking into account the twists and turns of the labyrinth. Every ten floors the size expands, with it taking five days per floor 11 through 20; seven for 21 through 30. Every ten floors there is a boss as well, but we should be able to take care of them easily enough.¡± I glared accusingly at him, ¡°And why are you telling us this now?¡± He grinned, ¡°Forgot? You already told your friends you were leaving for the thirtieth floor so they¡¯ll understand. You¡¯re probably the only one who doesn¡¯t understand its pure size.¡± I grumbled a few curses under my breath, but couldn¡¯t stop my two tails from swooshing excitedly under my cloak. Despite the daunting time-frame it wasn¡¯t like I had any other goals than getting stronger at the moment, and the fact that there was such a dungeon was an exciting prospect. Though¡­ ¡°How are we going to carry five months worth of supplies on us?¡± I asked in expectation. ¡°Item bags. I already have one that¡¯s big enough for it, but you two should probably get your own incase we get separated. Which is why we are currently heading towards the church of Laitaps.¡± I tilted my heads in confusion, ¡°Church? Laitaps?¡± He made an ah motion, ¡°You probably wouldn¡¯t know it but Laitaps is a god that rose to power a long time ago. His specialty is a mysterious magic known as ¡®Space¡¯. The products of such magic are things like item bags and rooms that are bigger on the inside.¡± He sighed, ¡°Though only people with his blessing or gifts are capable of wielding space magic or creating such items.¡± He said with slight regret. I pondered this for a moment, ¡°How do blessings work exactly?¡± ¡°Depends. There are varying levels of blessings, the most common is a weak blessing called ¡®gift¡¯, which is attached to the body. The next is the normal blessing which is also attached to the body but is more powerful, called ¡®Protection¡¯. The third is rarer and is known as ¡®Blessing¡¯. This one is attached to the soul so it can remain through reincarnations. Besides these there are a few variations such as scion or champion. But those two come with responsibilities attached and cannot be given unless both parties agree to it.¡± Mulling over the new information I pondered the implications of my own blessing. Which by the information given to me it should affect my soul¡­ Uth I wish I knew the exact implications of it¡­ Before long we arrived infront of a small silver stone church and quickly entered through the wooden door. Looking around I had an ¡®as expected¡¯ moment when I found the inside to be the size of a coliseum instead of the lanky building outside. Quickly we were approached by a young priest wearing a black garment glittering with small star-like gems. She smiled at us, ¡°Hello Liord, how may assist you today?¡± Stolen story; please report. He gestured to the two of us behind him, ¡°I need item bags for these two, preferably large.¡± He paused for a moment before sighing, ¡°And if you can, test them for space aptitude.¡± The priestess smiled wryly, ¡°The past is the past Jack.¡± She then turned to us and gestured us forward. ¡°Come, the testing won¡¯t take long.¡± Nodding me and Flysa followed her while one of my heads was observing the mural of the night sky on the ceiling. I wonder if it is accurate. I didn¡¯t really pay attention to the night sky in either worlds, only marveling at their beauty. After a minute we reached the center of the building- or at least what I could see of it- and stopped at an altar with a stone model resembling a ringed planet resting ontop. ¡°Please touch the rings, if you have affinity with space you will receive a blessing from Laitaps.¡± Nodding I reached up and pressed my finger onto the ring. A moment passed. Two. ¡°Unfortunately it doesn¡¯t seem you have enough affinity for his notice.¡± The priest said solemnly. I sighed and withdrew my hand, glaring slightly at the planet statue. The priest patted my right head, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, most people have no chance of a blessing.¡± Collecting myself I tried to ignore the pleasure coming from my fondled right ears and stepped away from the priestess while gesturing Flysa forward. However she hesitated and looked at me. Tilting my left head I raised an eyebrow, ¡°What is wrong?¡± ¡°If master doesn¡¯t get the blessing there is no point of me getting it either¡­¡± She mumbled and I sighed while stepping and pushing her from behind. ¡°Hurry up and try. Doesn¡¯t matter which one of us gets it it will be useful.¡± Sure I might have some temporary jealousy, but punishing Flysa for my own shortcomings would be little of me. Nodding she steadied her breathing and gently reached her hand forward, moments before touching my eyes narrowed as I felt a warp in the area, and the priest inhaled sharply. The next moment Flysa¡¯s hand touched the ring. *Brrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I instantly grabbed onto Flysa¡¯s clothes as the very fabric of space around us trembled. Gently I felt massive amounts of magic pour into Flysa from the planetoid, and her skin rippled as it passed through it. *ting~
Flysa has gained a boon: [Laitaps¡¯ Favor] Flysa has refused to sever your contract! Flysa has gained the title: Laitaps¡¯ Curiosity Flysa has started a sudden evolution into Caeltemplum Deullator Slimeusai - Dryadivus (Gargantuan) (Royal) (Elite)!
Space stopped shivering and Flysa¡¯s entire body collapsed. Worriedly I caught her and supported her head with my chest. Her entire body shivered uncontrollably, rapidly growing and shrinking like a beating heart. Space around her distorted randomly all the while I clutched her to my chest. Dimly I noted the priestess standing by in shock. I turned to her, ¡°I need a private room for Flysa. Now.¡± She nodded and gestured me to follow, then grimaced as she moved back to help me carry Flysa only to find me carrying her the best I can in piggy back. ¡°Move.¡± I commanded and she nodded, quickly leading me to a side room with a large bed. Not asking questions I laid Flysa down and started stripping her, blushing slightly at her rapidly morphing chest and vagina before stripping myself and jumping into the bed with her. The priestess left to give us privacy some time ago, but I was too busy clutching Flysa¡¯s shifting body in worry. Absently I wondered if it would be safe for me, but considering we evolved while sleeping with eachother before I dismissed the worry. Suddenly Flysa¡¯s body lurched, seemingly melting into firm gelatin before wrapping around me and shivering. Space itself continued to fluctuate as I left Flysa clutch my body in her slime form. I wonder if the pain is similar to when I awakened my cores? Concerned I gently let my tails rub against her jade-like skin and closed my eyes. At some point I fell asleep and was only awoken by the ting~ that comes with a status update.
Flysa has evolved into a Caeltemplum Deullator Slimeusai - Dryadivus (Gargantuan) (Royal) (Elite)!

Evolution complete!
Reading through the evolution changes I then moved my gaze to the giant mass of warmth that was embracing me, finding myself stuck between two melons the diameter of half my height with Flysa¡¯s giant hand- her palm now bigger than my torso- gently supporting my two heads with her soft thumb. Twisting my neck I caught sight of Flysa sleeping face. Her skin has now become semi-transparent with glittering sparks of blue mana floating through her white-green frosted skin. She had lost her tusks, now purely the face of a proud amazonian warrior with semi-short silver hair that glittered with blue sparks every now and then. I should also mention that her head alone was as tall as three quarters of my height, for all intents and purposes I was the size of a baby to her! Chapter -16 | Laitaps priestess ¡°Ma...ster¡­?¡± Flysa mumbled and sleepily opened her eyes, which now had dark blue velvet irises filled with swirling stars. I of course was trying to come to terms with the fact that her eyes were bigger than the size of my fist. Shaking my heads out of it I smiled at her, ¡°¡°How are you feeling?¡±¡± She groaned and tightened the embrace around me, ¡°Sore¡­¡± She pouted and started checking over her body. ¡°I got bigger again¡­¡± She said with a small smile. I raised an eyebrow in amusement, ¡°Happy about that?¡± ¡°Mm.¡± She nodded and gently stroked one of my heads with a finger, ¡°I can now shield master better.¡± She said with a blissful expression, causing me to blush furiously. After a few more minutes of reveling in Flysa¡¯s warmth I sighed and struggled to climb out between Flysa¡¯s cleavage. Failing I looked to her for help. Giggling she gently separated her breasts allowing me to roll out onto her stomach. Sighing in a mixture of disappointment and relief I stood up, causing Flysa to giggle as my feet pushed into her belly. Re-assessing my previous comment of me being baby sized compared to her, I think its worse. More like sprite? Absently I looked around and quickly found the door, and sighed upon realizing Flysa would be hard pressed to exit it. Infact basicly the whole bed has been crushed underneath her. Thinking about her evolution updates I turned to her, ¡°¡°Flysa, is it possible for you to shrink yourself to your previous size?¡±¡± She leaned her head up to look over her mountains, ¡°Yes master, but is there something wrong with my size?¡± She said in worry. I chuckled, ¡°¡°You won¡¯t be able to fit through the door.¡±¡± I couldn¡¯t see her mouth but she definitely made an ¡®O¡¯ expression and hurriedly activated her shapeshifter ability. Quickly her body shrunk into her previous forms size, with me hoping off her belly halfway through so she could finish without me on top of her. Finally small enough to fit through the door she stood up and smiled at me. I smiled wryly at her naked body- a slight blush on my cheeks- and had both of us quickly get dressed. I¡¯m going to have to make clothes that can adjust to her size¡­ is that possible? Eh magic exists so probably. I mean the fact she can change sizes should be evidence enough for this. On the other hand what is her current status?

Looking it over I quickly noted that along with a mana increase her max level nearly doubled as well. Guess she¡¯s ahead of me in strength now? Shrugging I made my way to the door and cautiously opened it. What greeted me was a bustle of priestesses moving about, one noticed me quickly ran off to get the head priestess I am assuming. After all Flysa has¡­ Favor? Of their god. I sighed and frowned in annoyance. If they want to abduct Flysa and have her train I might kill them. ¡°Master?¡± Flysa asked worriedly from behind me. Nothing I can do about it for now. I shrugged and turned back to Flysa. ¡°The head priestess will probably be here in a few minutes, for now let¡¯s wait.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± She nodded and we entered the room again, sitting on the now broken bed. A few minutes later the priestess we met when we first came into the temple entered and greeted us and looked over Flysa. ¡°May I know what level of blessing you got from Laitaps?¡± She asked curiously. Flysa looked to me and I shook my head. Better for them not to know. The priestess frowned and looked at Flysa, ¡°Well, since you have received a blessing from Laitaps you can become a priestess, will you ac-¡± ¡°No.¡± Flysa responded adamantly before she even finished. The priestess sighed, ¡°At least let us teach you the basics of space magic.¡± Flysa looked to me and I turned to the priestess, ¡°How long will it take you to teach her?¡± ¡°Depends on her affinity and sensing skills. If she is good enough we can finish in a few hours, though if she isn¡¯t becoming a priestess then I won¡¯t teach her any of the more complex spells.¡± She answered angrily. ¡°¡°Fine by me, but I¡¯ll be staying near her.¡±¡± I answered causing the priestess to sigh in defeat. Collecting herself she spread her fingers with her palm facing upwards. Slightly I felt mana exit her and coalesce in her hand before a slight distortion appeared and she reached into it and pulled out a wand. ¡°This is the spell I will teach you, inventory. If you can try and repli-li-li¡­¡± She stuttured out as Flysa produced a copy of the spell over her own palm, placing one of the broken bed shards in it before taking it out. Happily Flysa turned to me and I smiled wryly in approval. ¡°¡°Good job.¡±¡± She giggled and I turned to the speechless priestess. ¡°Now that we are done here may we see Jack?¡± ¡°Y-you¡­¡± She sighed and nodded with a complicated expression. A few minutes after she left she returned with Jack who had a despondent expression on his face. ¡°Here are the item bags you asked for.¡± She said while handing over two small pouches to Jack. ¡°Also,¡± She began and turned to Flysa, ¡°I would like you to come back sometime and get official training. You have the highest affinity for Space I have ever seen, it would be a shame if it went to waste.¡± She finished while looking at me, then faltered as Flysa¡¯s aura exploded outwards in rage. It would have crushed her too if Jack hadn¡¯t intervened with his domain. ¡°Flysa, please calm down.¡± I said while gently touching her arm. Slowly the aura she was releasing was pulled back to her. It appears her aura alters space now¡­ I noted while calming her down. *ting~
Flysa has gained the trait [Aura Manipulation]!
She then glared at the priestess who was sweating buckets by now, ¡°Don¡¯t insult Master again.¡± I stood up and gestured for Flysa to do the same then looked at Jack, ¡°¡°Shall we go?¡±¡± He nodded and we quickly left the temple. ¡°What supplies do we need now? Actually How long have we been in there?¡± I asked as I noticed the sun had moved a great deal from its position. ¡°You¡¯ve been in there a couple hours, and as for the supplies we need tents, monster wards, cooking equipment, and lots of spares. Luckily we can procure food by hunting monsters in the dungeon, so that won¡¯t be much of a problem.¡± He responded with a sigh. I looked at him strangely, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°Just regrets about the past.¡± He responded, and I dropped the conversation with a shrug. We quickly passed through several stores and collected the required materials. Flysa got to test out her inventory spell, which we quickly found had a depth we couldn¡¯t discern, causing Jack to sigh again. After we collected all the supplies we needed Jack looked at the slowly darkening sky, ¡°How about we call it a day and head to the labyrinth tomorrow?¡± I shrugged, ¡°¡°Sure.¡±¡± ¡°Then see you tomorrow.¡± He said and walked off. Tilting my head in confusion I shrugged again and went to the inn with Flysa. Chapter -17 | Third tail Calmly I jumped out of the giant ashen wolf¡¯s maw, thrusting Raphael forward and tearing through its cheek in the process. In the next instant Flysa swung Appoloin into the wolf''s neck and severing it. Stepping back I quickly caught my breath and scanned our surroundings for more enemies, and frowned as the large wolf corpses blocked my view. The things are bloody three meters tall and five long! Sighing I scratched my left heads ear.*ting~

Only a certain amount of vassals can be created at any given time. (Two per tail)
A light shone from my rear and I felt another tail numbly grow from the base of my spine, quickly taking form and growing fur. Jack blinked in surprise as I uncomfortably adjusted to the new appendage, ¡°I see you reached level fifty.¡± ¡°¡°Yeah, does this happen to all kitsunes?¡±¡± I asked while waving it around, amusedly noticing Flysa smiling sillily as she watched it wave back and forth. ¡°Mm. From what I know all Kitsunes start with one tail, gain the second at level twenty-five, the third at fifty, the fourth at a hundred. Its a bit hazy beyond that due to evolutions, but it is estimated that the level requirement for a new tail is every hundred or so levels and increases to two-hundred after the sixth tail giving them nine tails at level nine-hundred. More or Less.¡± He added with a shrug. Hoh, so my next tail will be at level one hundred? Well I¡¯m only level fifty right now, though I have a feeling I¡¯ll easily pass one hundred before we have finished this excursion, not to mention to have evolved before that. Flysa finally lost her patience and happily embraced me and stroked my new tail, causing me to moan as the still-sensitive appendage was stroked. ¡°¡°Flysa, stop~¡±¡± I complained as my tail arked into her dexterous hand. ¡°*Ahem*¡± Jack coughed into his fist, earning him a glare from Flysa. Luckily she stopped and I regretfully escaped her embrace. ¡°Anyway, shall we loot the corpses?¡± He asked, splendidly ignoring the brief skinmanship. ¡°¡°Ah yeah¡­¡±¡± I looked at the description for my third tails ability before tilting my right head and glancing at the alpha wolf corpse with my left. Should I? I could, but I don¡¯t know what the result would be. Would it turn into a zombie? Revive it? Unfortunately the wolf was quite big. Well if worse comes to worse I can always kill it¡­ ¡°Hold on, let me try something on the alpha.¡± I said and walked up to it. The head was mostly severed, hanging on by only a few strips of flesh. Massive amounts of blood has long since coated the floor and an iron scent was in the air. Somehow or another I seemed immune to the idea of blood and such. Ignoring that I looked at the corpse. I wonder if it will become a dullahan? Eh, but I would prefer if it was humanoid. Werewolf Dullahan? Is that a thing? I hope it¡¯s a thing. I absently thought while putting an absurd amount of mana into a strand of hair I plucked from my head.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Now how am I supposed to do this? I thought and poked the long strand of hair into the wolf¡¯s exposed muscles. Flashing the strand of hair disappeared and the alpha¡¯s corpse started glowing and twitching. Quickly light spread to the blood on the ground, lighting up the area around me, no specifically the blood that came from this wolf in particular. I stepped back and curiously watched as blood started flowing back into the wolf while gaining an ethereal blue glow. Quickly the shining light intensified and overwhelmed the protections I put on my sensitive eyes, causing me to turn away. A few second later the light faded and I grumbled a curse while opening my eyes again. *ting~

¡°Master¡­¡± A firm female voice echoed in the surroundings, and I gazed at the being that now stood infront of me in surprise. Supple ash-colored fur, rippling muscles over its humanoid-wolf body, and wispy crimson flames in place of its head. Not to mention its shoulders reached the to the tips of my ears. I glanced at its status in astonishment. It¡¯s¡­ almost exactly along the lines of my thoughts when I created her. Do my thoughts affect the outcome of the vassal? Curiosity strumming in my head I checked the amount of Mp I used from my third tail.
T3.Mp: 36888/42006
Even while I glanced at it it was rapidly restoring itself. It probably only took about 10k mp to begin with, and since the alpha was stronger than the other wolves it is probably safe to say he cost the most. ¡°O-oi! Immuta what did you just do!?¡± Jack called out in surprise while taking a combat stance against my new vassal. ¡°Used the third tail¡¯s ability,¡± I answered while looked for a slightly smaller corpse, ¡°Why do you ask?¡± I said while walking towards a suitable corpse with a smile. He stuttered and looked at my new companion. ¡°Y-you can bring back the dead?¡± ¡°Mmm¡­ Not exactly.¡± I said while plucking out a suitable hair and overloading it with mana to the point it was giving off heavy sparks. ¡°The ability is that to create a servant, from the description I can use it on living beings or inanimate objects as well.¡± Focusing I used the idea of a dark female pyromancer able to create elementals with magic, then promptly stabbed my hair into a cut on the shewolf¡¯s shoulder. Another blinding flash of light later another being stood infront of me. *ting~

[ Relations ] : (Immuta {Master}) - (Flysa {Pack Mother}) - (Afrafraxinus Dullahan Lupiner {Pack Leader})
Standing in front of me was a beautiful, mostly human woman with chocolate skin and ash-black hair, wolf ears, and long furry tail tipped with a burning flame. Her burning irises happily stared at me as her tail waved back and forth, ¡°How may I be of assistance master?¡± She said with a cute tilt of her head. She was taller than me by about 10 cen, and had average breasts. Not to mention completely naked which caused me to blush. Speaking of which the dullahan I created was also naked, but the fur hides her privates and such really well. Shaking my head I pointed to her, ¡°¡°You will be Choco,¡± I then pointed to the dullahan, ¡°And you will be Reverie.¡± *ting~
You have named your vassal Choco! You have named your vassal Reverie!
¡°And now,¡± I began as I turned back to the rest of the corpses, ¡°You will help disassemble these corpses.¡± ¡°Hai!¡± ¡°Yes Master.¡± Chapter -18 | The Behemoth It¡¯s been several days since we first entered Erocdrah, now leaving us on floor nine. After talking with my vassals I found out a few more things about my skill; vassals created from corpses- at least- do not retain the memories of their previous lives, but seem to retain their knowledge; Reverie was easily able to navigate through the dungeon without really knowing how she was doing it or knew the places we passed. However while alot of time has passed and we¡¯ve fought a good amount of creatures, all the monsters on this floor are around level fifty, with the levels only slightly increasing as we made our way further down. As such I had stopped leveling rapidly and was stuck around 60 along with Flysa and my two vassals. On another note I created armor and weapons for my vassals, but didn¡¯t use overload regalia on them as I didn¡¯t have the best materials. Reverie got full body armor made out of layered iron bear pelts reinforced with transmutation and two Patas*- constructed from monster bones- that she wielded with high dexterity. Choco on the other hand got a staff like a proper mage made of the tusks of some giant boar creature; her staff of course being two meters tall in comparison and fully capable of being wielded as a blunt weapon. Not that she¡¯s had the chance to do that¡­ We¡¯ve been ripping apart monsters at a rapid pace, and Flysa¡¯s inventory has yet to show any signs of getting full. Which reminds me, we found out some things about her new skills. [Endless Stomach] basically allows her to eat however much she wants and turns it into weightless biomass that she can use with her [Shapeshifter] ability. Another thing we found out is any material she can digest she can mimic. This includes the metal pelts of some creatures we defeat, but she needs enough material to actually transform her body. Currently her skin and bones are imbued with shiny black enchanted steel, her nails have been extended to claws, and her hair has gained a dark silver luster. Right now the claws and teeth of our enemies are useless against her, and even if they were she has enough biomass to instantly heal any lost material; and that¡¯s if it isn¡¯t a simple cut which she can just reconnect. On the other hand I have barely had any improvements to my physical constitution, though Jack has been teaching me how to properly hold a stance, walk, move, punch, kick, breathe, etcetera. Although it got tiring quickly I resolutely put up with it in order to strengthen myself. Flysa and my two vassals also joined the training, though due to different body structures Jack had to change his teaching style. After a day passed he forbid me and Flysa from using Raphael and Appoloin and taught us how to use our aura¡¯s to produce condensed blades and plates just above our skin. Currently I earned the trait [Martial Mastery (Advanced)] and upgraded [Aura Manipulation] to (Legendary). According to Jack there was seven advanced levels of traits and two lesser; counting the base trait it brought the total levels to ten, which from weakest to strongest were (Weak), (Lesser), no change, (Greater), (High), (Advanced), (Epic), (Legendary), (Mythical), and lastly (Divine). Besides that Choco has been advancing her elemental summoning, able to summon 12 B-rank elementals at any given time and earning the trait [Summoner(Greater)] along with [Pyromancer(Greater)] Reverie on the otherhand gained the trait [Warrior(Greater)] and leveled up her [Monstrous Body] to (Advanced). She has proven to be quite capable of manipulating the battlefield, and I¡¯ve left her and Choco to make their own decisions in their support role. Umu, if I had to go by Rpg terms Flysa would be the tank, me and Reverie would be the damage dealers and Choco would be the mage. Flysa can still use her healing magic, but I would like to have a dedicated healer on the team as well as a crowd-control character. Unfortunately I haven¡¯t seen any creatures that would meet my specifications for these two types. I have the innate feeling that my thoughts only affect the outcome, but not the input for my (Create Vassal). Say I take a water mob and try to turn it into a pyromancer; likely won¡¯t work. The only things around here are pure-destructive mobs, not caring about healing besides their own regeneration, and definitely not distributing buffs and debuffs. Apparently this is the scheme for the first ten floors, which is grating on my nerves. Ten floors! Way too much repetitiveness! Luckily later floors seem to be split into different themes every two floors with sub-bosses interspacing them. There are also things such as floor-bosses in this dungeon, which roam around randomly. Unfortunately for most people they could only run or get wiped out by a floor boss due to the fact they were equal in strength to bosses several floors lower than them, often surpassing the bosses of the floors they existed on. And it seems things are going to get exciting~ ¡°*GRRUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!*¡± The giant behemoth roared and instantly charged us. Three different heads emerge from its neck like a cerberus, one wolf, one bear and one large cat head. Probably a puma. Its entire body was covered in dark, steel-bristle like fur. ¡°¡°No weapons still?¡±¡± I asked Jack behind us with a grin on both my faces. ¡°Correct. Do your best.¡± he answered and melded into the background. The behemoth was barrel chested and had eight limbs- four bear-like arms and four cat-like legs. Fire occasionally spewed out between bristles of fur showing that it had ample magic. It¡¯s aura is also quite large, a bit more than Flysa¡¯s at full power. The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Speaking of which I should ask Jack what the average amount of Mp for a person is¡­ ¡°¡°Oops.¡±¡± I hurriedly jumped to the side as a wave of mana poured from beasts swung arm, gouging out several meters in the cave-like surroundings. ¡°Choco! Take out its eyes if you can!¡± ¡°Reverie and Flysa aim for the joints and cripple this thing!¡± I yelled out with my two heads before charging close to the behemoth. Not taking chances I used mana from my first two tails to create about half a dozen overloaded illusions of me which danced around the behemoth and attacked the thinnest parts of its fur- which turned out to be useless due to the illusions being only slightly capable of penetrating its aura layer, much less breaking through its steel fur. However they were good as a distraction. In the meantime I also overloaded my three companions, my first tails mp rapidly draining. I probably only had enough mana in it to last a few minutes even after disabling the power going to my illusions. Grunting in annoyance I loaded my arm with kinetic magic and kicked its giant ankle. *BOOMCRK! Smiling at the sound of cracking bone and a roar of pain I dashed away from the beast just as a jet of flames erupted from its leg, turning the ground a glowing red. Unfortunately the bone was merely cracked and dented, not shattered and unusable. Truly a testament to how damn hard the beast''s flesh is. I plucked a strand of steel fur out of my foot. The damn thing pierced through my boot¡­ I quickly used transmutation to fix the hole. Meanwhile the behemoth was busy rampaging around while trying to crush Flysa and Reverie underneath it. A few fire elementals clung to its body, though they didn¡¯t seem to be doing any damage. Its eyes also seemed perfectly fine even after a fireball crashed into the iris of the bear head. ¡°¡°Choco! Command your elementals to cover its eyes!¡±¡± ¡°Hai master!¡± She smiled with something to do and the flying elementals flew up to the bears multiple heads and clung to their eyes. Roaring in frustration the behemoth struggled to tear off the incorporeal elementals giving some time for Flysa to attack the same joint I attacked earlier, followed by Reverie severing the tendons to the best of her ability. Now visibly limping a pulse of mana burst outward from the behemoth, shredding some of Choco¡¯s elementals and throwing Reverie and Flysa several meters. Focusing I gathered massive amounts of mana between my hands and remembered a specific trait of kitsunes. The condensed ball burst into pale purple-orange flames and the next instant later I threw it- filled with kinetic magic- directly at where I assumed the beast¡¯s heart to be. The instant it left my hand the ball accelerated and with a sonic boom and pierced the behemoths chest, causing it to roar in pain as metallic blood poured from the burning wound. Instead of cauterizing it the fox-fire appears to be spreading to even the blood. Mana gathered around the beast¡¯s heads and it let out an ear-piercing roar, in the next instant my vision blacked out and my connection to my body was dwindling. The feelings through the grounds vibrations seemed dull and far away, but I felt the behemoth approaching with its heavy steps. Growling I flushed mana through my systems and regained my awareness in time to find the behemoth swinging its four mana filled arms towards me and Choco. I gripped my mana and thrust my palm forward, creating a dome shield that slammed into the behemoths wave. The ground buckled under the impact and the air roared in pain as the opposing mana forces grappled with eachother, shattering in the next instant and producing a shockwave that I grit my teeth through. Glancing around i noticed the other three were still out of it, Flysa seemingly melting in her clothes. Glaring at the behemoth- blood still pouring from its chest- I gathered mana in my legs and jumped at the behemoth, shattering the ground underneath me and diving into the behemoth¡¯s chest wound, who in turn roared in pain and surprise. Blood and foxfire surrounded my body and started burning away my clothes. The beast¡¯s aura also pressed down on me, and i bolstered my own and pushed outwards, forcibly expanding the wound and causing a shriek of pain as the behemoth clutched its chest. Activating kinetic magic I sent out several shockwaves, causing the muscles and organs to be torn to shreds. Slowly I felt the behemoth losing control of itself and I slammed my hands into the wall of meat, then tore off huge chunks as I burrowed further into the body. Using magic to create a bubble of air in the swaths of thick blood I continued till i hit the spine, yet even then the behemoth didn¡¯t die. Slamming my hands into the spine I felt the mana in my body reaching less then one quarter of capacity. Let¡¯s see if you can survive this you damn beast! Gathering as much mana as possible- to the point where the blood around me started glowing blue- I fire it from my palms directly into the spine. Instantly the blood submerging me was blown away along with pulverized bits of bone and flesh. I felt a silent scream from the behemoth as it collapsed under itself. Gritting my teeth I used the last vestiges of my mana to barely jump out of the wound, then landed on the behemoths steel fur as it slammed into the ground, several strands puncturing multiple parts of my body. Damn beast. Growling I tried my best to shake off my aching body and rolled over, pulling several strands out its hair of my body. Dimly I felt the mana in my third tail, since I hadn¡¯t used any today it was fully regenerated. Smiling grasped a few strands of my hair and ripped them out of my head, pouring them full of mana and slamming them into the beast. My whole body lurched as mana started rapidly draining from my body and tail. Gritting my teeth I limited the flow of mana to my regeneration rate, then manually tried to accelerate my cores and focused all mana in my body into the third tails¡¯. Howling silently in pain I continued to pour in mana as several bolts of pain pierced my body in the place of my cores. Gradually I felt them painfully expanding, and even more cores being formed around my body as I demanded it to produce more mana- all the while focusing on the image of my new companion. It hurts. Desperately I wished for help and comfort, only to be denied. Like a breaking dam I felt liquid plasma pour through nerves dying both my visions white. Damn it, you better be sharing this pain! I silently screamed at the behemoth as my mind gradually reached its limits. Then all of a sudden the pain stopped and my body collapsed onto something soft and fluffy. Gently a foreign female voice rose in my head echoing as if there were multiple overlapping, ¡°Rest now my mate, I will protect you.¡±
End of Arc 2 Next arc: The dungeon Erocdrah Interlude --2 | Jack Liord I looked at the odd pair I had come in to test. One was a giant of a woman with jade skin and tusks remnant of an orcs. Her aura was unrestrained and actually comparable to a lesser dragon, though she didn¡¯t possess any domain resistance, which either means she was fabricated or extremely abnormal to grow that fast. The same went for the second one, who was even more abnormal than the first. Her aura was restrained, but surpassed an elder dragon in quantity. Curiously I checked her mana levels and found her to have less mana than one, but a fast enough regeneration to make an aura comparable to them. This, according to the experience gathered by my three hundred year long life, should be impossible. Unless she has more cores than an elder dragon¡­ but that shouldn¡¯t be possible- I checked and had to stop myself from stumbling as I counted the amount of cores inside her. Six cores! Elder dragons have three! Well luckily they¡¯re only at the (aware) stage, but even that is shocking. The girl can¡¯t be more than a dozen days old! And that was only the beginning! On top of having two heads- both of which were beautiful- she had stellar combat instincts, but obviously lacked training. Not to mention the girl seemed hopelessly naive about the world, though that should be a given being so young. Deciding I would tutor the girl I introduced myself after our brief skirmish. But that again, was merely the beginning. Though no affinity for space magic, the girl¡¯s- Immuta¡¯s- familiar had enough to warrant god Laitaps¡¯ attention himself! A brief jealousy sparked in my chest but I quickly shoved it down and waited for the forced evolution to end. After that we gathered materials and headed into the dungeon Erocdrah, aiming for the thirtieth floor. She and her familiar, which was named Flysa, easily took care of the wolves that attacked us. But when the second group was defeated and Immuta grew a new tail, she suddenly revived the dead! Specifically she created a sort of servant, but considering it was a dullahan is enough for some temples to consider it undead. She then used the ability again but this time created a wolfkin! A full, living and breathing wolf kin! But yet again I was surprised. She possessed the ancient and lost trait of [transmutation], and Flysa had the [Shapeshifter] trait along with one I had only heard of fiends possessing: [Endless Stomach]! Her two new servants also surprised me with their strength, now a bit above B-level compared to the C-rank giant ash wolves. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. And that was before I started actually teaching them martial arts¡­ The girl has scary aptitude for learning, soaking up the forms almost instantly compared to how it took me months to learn them. While not as good as Immuta, Flysa and the two vassals Choco and Reverie also seemed to possess a tad of the girls learning speed. I had to change the style of teaching due to different weapons, but that didn¡¯t matter much. Seeing their progress caused me to shiver. If they had domains they would easily be SA rank. And that didn¡¯t take into account their almost flawless teamwork, as if all of them are connected by strings and instinctively know what the other is doing. Then the behemoth appeared. It is a creature that can be compared to a full-fledged dragon if it has a domain, but this one only had full resistance. While worried I let them fight it with the continued restriction of having no weapons. At first it seemed they were doing actual damage, however the behemoth did something I didn¡¯t expect and was thus unprepared for it. It used a stunning roar, and with the speed the mana traveled it hit me before I could flush the mana. I was disoriented for no more than two seconds, yet in that instant Immuta had already recovered and was flying towards the wound she made before I could stop her. The behemoth roared in pain, its snake tail smashing into the walls and floor as it desperately clawed at its chest. Sending a small prayer I gathered Immuta¡¯s subordinates and protected them with my domain off to the side while she did something inside the behemoth. With an explosion of mana- strong enough to actually crack the walls and floor- a giant gaping hole was ripped open in the behemoth¡¯s chest. Slowly the beast collapsed and I saw a dark-red humanoid light jump out of the hole only to land on the beast¡¯s steel bristles. Moving forward cautiously I saw her pulling out a bunch of her hair, her remaining mana wrapping around it. I stood still in shock, there is no way. She wants to turn it into a servant!? Before I could stop her she had already pressed into the behemoth and mana poured from her body. Her cores won¡¯t be able to support the mana uptake! I grit my teeth and was about to intervene with my domain, then left my mouth gaping open as more cores started growing in her body, and her old ones all ascended another level. The behemoth¡¯s corpse started glowing uncontrollably, the blood on the ground defying gravity and raising into the air in large droplets. Turning away from the light a minute passed, two, three. Then the light dimmed suddenly, and I turned back to see- Chapter -19 | Jerae *ting~

The first thing I was confronted with when I woke up was a slew of windows, which I temporarily pushed away and wallowed in the soft embrace around me. ¡°¡°¡°Morning Darling~¡±¡±¡± My wife cooed as she affectionately tightened the embrace, pushing me further into her chest. Wait wife? I opened the eyes of my two heads and came face to face with three pairs staring back at me. With bronze colored skin mixed with black fur the three headed woman smiled down at me. The leftmost head had a pair of bear ears and a soft round face, the center had wolf ears and a straight face with a soft jaw, and the right head had ears of a puma and a sharply defined face. Four arms were gently wrapped around me, with the forelimbs covered in soft steel-grey fur and tipped with retractable claws while the biceps were bare and muscular. Her two legs were similar with extremely thick bottom limbs reminiscent of a bear crossed with a puma. Fur also covered her back and the outside of her thighs, and a six cen wide soft scaled tail was wrapped around us, reaching a good two meters before ending with a snake head that was affectionately licking my face. The whole being exuded affectionate warmth to me. Naturally claiming us as each others. I could even feel the emotions of happiness leaking through the connection between our two consciousness¡¯. Smiling happily I let myself rest on her thick, muscular yet soft body, the unease easily leaking out of me. ¡°Umu! Master~!¡± I blinked and lifted my right head, turning I saw Flysa standing a bit aways while worriedly glancing between me and my mate. ¡°¡°Yes Flysa?¡±¡± I asked with slight annoyance. I¡¯m trying to rest here¡­ ¡°¡°¡°You know this person Darling?¡±¡±¡± My mate asked curiously. ¡°¡°Mm.¡±¡± I answered. Now that I thought of it Flysa must be lonely, we usually slept together every night. ¡°¡°Flysa, come lay down with us.¡±¡± ¡°¡°¡°Ah.¡±¡±¡± My mate spoke up as if realizing something. ¡°¡°¡°Is this person your mate as well darling?¡±¡±¡± She spoke curiously while Flysa hesitantly approached, warily watching my mate for any sudden movements. I smiled slightly gestured her closer, ¡°Not my mate, you are my mate or course. She is¡­ Umu¡­¡± I stopped and pondered a bit while Flysa and my Mate attentively waited for my answer. ¡°I guess she is like my mate, though probably not as much as you are.¡± I said while nuzzling into her. My mate turned her right head towards Flysa, ¡°Then I am sorry for attacking you earlier. Come, let us rest.¡± Flysa nodded warily and approached us. Now that I notice it Flysa is much taller than my mate as well, though not as massive. Umu, my mate needs a name. I turned to her, ¡°Your name will be Jerae.¡± *ting~

Meanwhile I was looking over her status and noted her five unique skills. Flysa had also reached us and was warily wrapping her arm around my leg. *ting~

This¡­ I tilted my left head while my right rested a Jerae¡¯s shoulder. I tried to recall what happened before I lost consciousness, but I couldn¡¯t remember the image I was holding when I used my third tails ability. Speaking of which shouldn¡¯t it have only created a vassal? Well, not that I mind. I smiled and inhaled her scent. ¡°Immuta.¡± Jack called out to me, and I lifted my right head up in annoyance. ¡°¡°Yes?¡±¡± I said, then blinked as saw the dried blood on his arm and lip. ¡°What happened to you?¡± I asked curiously. He opened his mouth, then decided against it and sighed. I noticed Reverie and Choco were sending amused gazes at him, well Choco was. Well, Reverie it was hard to tell due to her lack of facial features, but her flames seemed to dance playfully. ¡°Anyway,¡± Jack dusted himself off, ¡°We should probably get moving. Standing in the middle of this cavern probably isn¡¯t the best if other monsters decide to attack.¡± I looked around and noted we were still in the cave where we fought the behemoth that turned into Jerae. The walls and floor were heavily cracked, and in some places melted into slag. Also there was a human shaped depression on one of the walls that seemed recent. I shrugged and regretfully separated from Jerae, who stood up beside me. While Flysa was still double my height when in small form, Jerae was only a head or two taller than me. Flysa who was clinging to my leg took the opportunity to give me a long hug which I returned gratefully. Separating I joined hands with Jerae and motioned for Reverie to lead the way. Let¡¯s get to the next series of floors quickly.

Chapter -20 | Flysa, Living Armor Jerae protectively stepped infront of me and swiped her hand into the steel bear¡¯s head, letting out a wet crack as it shattered into pieces. Charging around her me and Flysa engaged the last enemy, attacking in rapid succession with a flurry of aura-clad fists brought the beast to a pulp, ending the battle. *ting~
You have defeated a level 79 Ferrous Ursus (Large) (Adult) You have defeated a level 85 Ferrous Ursus (Large) (Adult) You have defeated a level 82 Ferrous Ursus (Large) (Adult) You have defeated a level 78 Ferrous Ursus (Large) (Adult) You have defeated a level 89 Ferrous Ursus (Huge) (Adult) You have leveled up! Flysa has leveled up twice! Jerae has leveled up thirteen times! Reverie has leveled up Three times! Choco has leveled up three times!
I quickly swiped away the window and smiled. One more level til I evolve. I wonder what evolutions will be available? *Glomp Flysa swiped me into her embrace, seemingly shivering in distress. I looked up at her while enjoying the hug, ¡°¡°What is wrong Flysa?¡±¡± Big tears gathered in the corners of her eyes, ¡°Master won¡¯t leave me right?¡± I blinked in surprise, ¡°Of course not.¡± She warily glanced at Jerae, mysteriously causing a pang in my heart. Why is Jerae ahead of Flysa who has been here the whole time? The question surprised me and I looked to Jerae, our thoughts communicated instantly across the link between us. With three small smiles and nod she gestured me to continue. Turning back to Flysa I opened my mouths, ¡°¡°Flysa, would you like to become my wife?¡±¡± She shook and hugged me harder, ¡°Yes.¡± She said while burying my face in her chest. Plucking out a hair I easily overloaded it with mana from my third tail. Now then, the image. I first met Flysa when I was still a baby, and saved her from the boar. After that she has been a constant companion, shielding me from loneliness with her giant figure. A constant spirit who has adored me since I met her, becoming my bed, my support. My armor. My castle. Where Jerae is created to be the sword that cuts down my pain, Flysa is my shield. I stabbed the hair into Flysa¡¯s chest, and an incredible light surrounded Flysa instantly, causing me to shut my eyes reflexively. Mana poured from my tail and body into the glowing light, gently surrounding me as I felt Flysa warmly embrace me. *ting~

Evolution Complete!
A light weight gently hugged my entire body, and opening my eyes I found myself completely covered in what appeared to be a type of dark, enchanted steel armor. Smooth flexible plates covered every cen of my body, allowing me full range of motion but offering maximum protection. Even my two heads were covered in full helmets with no openings, though I could somehow see as if there was nothing covering my face. My three tails were also covered as well, the normally bushy tails surrounded in flexible scale-like armor tipped with barbs, making them appear thin and dangerous.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. ¡°Love¡­¡± Flysa? ¡°I love you master¡­¡± Warm bubbling emotions flooded my consciousness from the armor surrounding me, causing me to smile with both my faces. I love you too Flysa. ¡°¡°¡°Don¡¯t forget about me~¡±¡±¡± Jerae joked and embraced me and Flysa from behind. Surprisingly I could feel her body through Flysa, and I quickly realized our senses were shared in this state. Smiling I wrapped my now fully controllable tails around Jerae¡¯s snake tail and twisted in her grasp to fully embrace her. ¡°*Ahem*¡± Jack coughed from the side, earning glares from all five of us. ¡°Anyway, shall we enter the boss room?¡± He said while pointing at the giant doors melded into the side of the cavern. Me and Jerae blinked in surprise. Right, forgot that was there. ¡°Me as well.¡± Separating from Jerae I kept Flysa equipped to me and pushed open the doors. Inside was a brightly lit cavern due to torches all over the walls and a big bonfire in the center. On the opposite side of the cavern was a massive throne made of hundreds of bones. Seated on the throne was a six meter tall ember werewolf creature with scales instead of fur, whose burning irises glared at us. Opening his maw he let out a fearsome roar, though not as intimidating as Jerae¡¯s that was released a moment later. The giant draco-werewolf grabbed the massive cleaver that was resting at his feet, then in one jump he passed the bonfire and landed infront of us, cleaver already bearing down on Jerae. Jumping infront of her I condensed my aura and swung my armored arm upwards. Flysa¡¯s own aura amplified mine causing the very space around us to shake as it struck the end of the cleaver, repelling it with a massive shockwave that shattered the ground under our feet. Grinning I gathered energy in my feet- Flysa¡¯s own piling on top- then bolted into the naked werewolf¡¯s abdomen with my fist; the flesh around the impact rippled and the werewolf was bent over as it coughed up blood. This is no where near as powerful as a behemoth. ¡°Mm, shall we finish this master?¡± Let¡¯s. I generated a kinetic platform under my foot, bent my leg, then shot upwards into the wolf¡¯s jaw, shattering the bones and causing the flesh to ragdoll as its head was bent up and back with an awful crack, gently touching the ceiling with the tips of my toes I then shot back downwards and landed feet first on the werewolf¡¯s exposed chest. I felt its giant bones cracking under my feet, puncturing its lungs and heart as the werewolf died in an instant then crashed into the floor the next. I kinda felt bad for the guy, but then again my strength seemed to be combined with Flysa¡¯s when she was equipped to me, mana and all. Tilting my head I turned to Jack who didn¡¯t even get time to melt into the shadows, ¡°¡°Is this thing supposed to be strong?¡±¡± He sighed, ¡°It¡¯s a C-raid rank, meaning thirty-six C ranks would be able to defeat it with difficulty. In comparison the Behemoth was A-raid rank.¡± I tilted my head and pondered the new information, I¡¯ll have to ask more later¡­ *ting~
You have defeated a level 102 Giganti Emberus Fuxus Dracon Werewolf (Large) (Adult) (Boss) You have leveled up! Evolution is now available! Flysa has leveled up forty-eight times! Jerae has leveled up twenty-six times! Reverie has leveled up six times! Choco has leveled up six times!
¡°¡°Hoh, I can finally evolve again.¡±¡± I said happily. ¡°Eh? A-already?¡± Jack stuttered out and stared at me in amazement before shaking his head. ¡°Well we have already been up for several hours. We¡¯ll make a rest spot on the stairs.¡± ¡°So master will evolve again?¡± Mm, though I wonder what my choices will be. Warmth filled my body and Jerae picked me up from behind, ¡°¡°¡°Whatever darling evolves into doesn¡¯t matter. Darling is darling.¡±¡±¡± She said simply, and I looked at her with a silly smile. Flysa withdrew the armor from my right head and Jerae promptly kissed me on the lips with her wolf head, then punctured my mouth with her tongue, happily slurping up my saliva and causing me to blush. Then suddenly the armor on my left head shifted and I felt Flysa¡¯s lips pressing against mine, then as if competing with Jerae three tongues entered my mouth and excitedly explored the cavity. My heart was throbbing painfully in my chest as I was deprived of my heated breath. After what seemed like an eternity Jerae separated, drawing an arc of saliva from our mouths. A little after Flysa let me breath again, though I was completely out of it and panting for breath in Jerae¡¯s arms, Flysa happily constricting around me. Not to mention my penis was fully aroused, and held in place by Flysa¡¯s body. ¡°¡°¡°Hoh, so Darling is aroused mm?¡±¡±¡± Jerae teased and rubbed her body against me. ¡°Master what is aroused?¡± I blushed furiously, opening and closing my mouth in rapid succession. ¡°*Cough*¡± Jerae glared at Jack with all four of her heads, the snake even hissing threateningly. Ignoring her Jack pointed to the corpse we were standing on. ¡°If you can please store the corpse so we can use it for dinner, that would be wonderful.¡± He said tiredly. Growling Jerae regretfully let go of me and allowed me to catch my breath. Blushing I waved my hand and Flysa used her inventory to absorb the giant corpse. After that we headed towards the stairs behind the throne and entered into the safe-zone between floors. Jack as always took the lead cooking, though the rest of us had no problem eating raw. Since I was hungry I munched on a large nugget of flesh myself while resting on Jerae, occasionally ripping off a bit and letting Flysa absorb it or feeding Jerae with a blush on my cheeks. *ting~
Through [Assimilation] Flysa has gained the trait [Draconic Magic(Weak)]
¡°Alright, dinner is ready!¡± Jack said with a smile, and we moved over to the boiling pot of dragon-wolf stew. Interestingly Reverie actually ate by disintegrating food with the flames that make up her head, I wonder if she can taste it like that? After dinner we each moved over to the space with the anti-monsters torches along with a barrier made by Jack surrounding us. Jerae and Flysa of course slept with me, though Flysa transformed into a giant blob- exposing that my clothes at some point had disappeared, maybe digested- and embraced me and Jerae completely, leaving only a small pocket that we could breath and embrace each other in. Jerae had also already stripped the clothes I made her earlier and was now happily wrapped around me. Letting my body relax in pure bliss I decided to finally to open my options; show evolution list. *ting~ Chapter -21 | Evolution and Sex *ting~

¡°¡°¡°Finally made your decision darling?¡±¡±¡± Jerae asked with a smile, then promptly kissed my right head with her puma head. I blinked in surprise, then blushed furiously as I felt Jerae¡¯s snake tail licking my anus, my penis already erect from being in close proximity to Jerae and Flysa. ¡°¡°¡°Fufufu¡­ With Flysa here~¡±¡±¡± She began as she rolled me under her, Flysa¡¯s gelatin like body assisting her intentions, ¡°¡°¡°We don¡¯t have to worry about interruptions darling~¡±¡±¡± My body was hot. Really hot. Suddenly Jerae lunged downward and stole both of my lips, not giving me any time to prepare before she thrust her tongues inside my mouths and explored the cavities to her heart¡¯s content. Straddling me she lined up out privates with her bottom two arms while pinning me down with her top two, then slowly, gently lowered herself onto me, my penis slipping inside her silently. In the next instant her insides clutched my member and she started rotating her hips, quickly finding a spot that pleasurable for both of us before carefully and affectionately moving her hips up and down and side to side, eliciting pleasurable moans from both of us. Letting my lips find air again she moved downward and started nibbling various parts of my body, my breasts, neck, shoulders, ears; all the while moving her hips over my member and building the pleasure. I moaned and tried to move my hands, only to find them pinned down by her upper arms. Gently I felt the pressure reaching an exploding point, Jerae¡¯s feverish emotions bleeding through our connection showed us both building, and with a gentle slam downwards she came first with one great shake, the euphoria pouring into me setting off my member into her. She moaned and shivered as she squirted her juices, both my semen and it leaking out of her vagina and onto Flysa, who now started moving again. Gently I felt something poke my anus, Jerae as well twitched and mumbled Flysa¡¯s name as she brought her hips up exposing the shaft of my penis but holding the head, causing some remnants of my first ejaculation to leak into her. In the next moment I felt a warm tentacle slide into my ass, pleasurably reaching further and further inside til it reached my small intestine and stopped. Jerae moaned as well and shifted her hips back down on my own member, then mimicking me and Jerae, Flysa¡¯s tentacles started pumping in and out of our anuses. I came again and again, all three of us sharing our emotions and pleasure with the links in our minds. Eventually we exhausted ourselves, and Flysa opened up a hole to outside to let in fresh cool air. Silently, to the coos of Jerae whose juices and my seed still leaked out of her, I fell asleep, the sweat cementing our bodies together. Chapter -22 | Children *ting~

Dimly I awoke to mine and Jerae¡¯s bodies warmly sticking together due to sweat. I also noted my body was slightly different than before. My tails were longer and thinner, and my heads were different instead of identical, though I don¡¯t know their exact structure. Small arcs of lightning occasionally danced across my skin, though they didn¡¯t seem to be harming Jerae or Flysa when they contacted. Though where arm my wings¡­ Ah. Flysa was allowing them to sink into her body while supporting mine so they weren¡¯t crushed underneath me. Let¡¯s see, I believe I can retract them into me. With a thought I felt them become immaterial and absorb into my back. Curious, and using the instinctive knowledge that came with the evolution, I managed to turn my right arm into pure energy, lightning crackling and waking up Jerae. Dispelling it and returning my arm to normal I happily waited for Jerae to fully awaken, blushing as I remembered what happened last night. Ah crap I¡¯m hard again¡­ I shook my left head to rid the thought. Tires us out too much to do in the morning. Jerae groaned and clutched my body, dimly opening and blinking the eyes on her bear and puma head. ¡°¡°Morning love~¡±¡± I whispered and gave her a soft peck with both my heads. Three sleepy smiles broke out across her faces, ¡°¡°¡°Morning Darling~¡±¡±¡± She said and slowly separated our bodies, the sweat from last night causing our skin to stick together and stretch. ¡°Master, Jerae, let me clean you~¡± Without waiting for a response Flysa converged around us and I felt hundreds of tongue-like appendages slowly licking the sweat off my body. Moaning as I felt Flysa constrict my penis, she then proceeded to stroke it to no end. ¡°Master~ Good morning~¡± She called and I came, sharing the feeling with Flysa and Jerae; who in turn seemed to apex from Flysa as well. Then she separated and I found her wrapped around my body as armor. Jerae moaned and complained ¡°¡°¡°Flysa~ warn me before you do that!¡±¡±¡± She said with a smile, then promptly hugged me to her chest and sighed in content. Flysa, you can give Jerae back her clothes now. ¡°Hai Master.¡± Jerae¡¯s armor set appeared out of thin air, which earned a frown from her. Sighing wryly I pushed Jerae to the clothes, ¡°¡°Come on, get dressed already.¡±¡± She grumbled but let me help her get dressed. Finished I noticed Reverie and Choco were standing to attention, and Jack was off to the side stretching. He better not have looked at Jerae¡­ Shaking my heads I spoke up, ¡°Shall we get going?¡± Jack nodded, ¡°The next floors will be more difficult, I¡¯m still forbidding you to use your soul-bound weapons but still be careful.¡± Jack nodded and we continued down the stairs. The eleventh and twelfth floor seems to be forest-themed, even a fake sun glowed in the seemingly blue sky. Great towering trees with roots as thick as my height filled the surroundings, making the terrain chaotic. Barely any flat ground existed, the forest floor made of roots and moss. Various birds chirped, though I could only see a few in the upper branches of the trees. ¡°CGRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!¡± Jumping backwards I avoided a four legged bird sweeping its claws through where my heads were. The thing then zoomed off and circled through the trees, its dappled green feathers blending easily with light leaking through the foliage. Grunting in annoyance I lifted a finger and pointed it at the bird. A speck of blue fire barely a millimeter in diameter sparked to life on the tip of my claw. The air around me started to frost, and in the next instant the spark disappeared, and the bird suddenly burst with blue flames and shattered into countless frozen pieces in the next instant. *ting~
You have defeated a level 68 Forest Quad-Claw AvianUnlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. You have leveled up twelve times! Flysa has leveled up four times! Jerae has leveled up two times!
I snorted in amusement. So instead of being superhot, blue fox-fire is actually freezing cold? Probably due to my fenrir side. Speaking of powers I never checked what Flysa¡¯s unique trait did.
[?Twin Heart (Symbiotic Unity)] - When combined with your mate both of your parameters combine. When you take damage your mates power temporarily increases. You can absorb any artament equipped by your mate and mimic it/gain its properties. You can consume the life force of other beings attacking your mate, healing you and them. You and your mate can use eachothers traits. You and your mate share a mental connection that cannot be broken or influenced. You can share your senses with your mate, and them with you. Excess nutrients your mate doesn¡¯t need are absorbed by you. Excess nutrients you absorb are either shared with your mate or stored for later. You automatically help make your mate more beautiful.
Huh, so it basicly fuses and amplifies us. The fact I can use Flysa¡¯s traits is extremely cool. It would also explain why I could feel the rest of the ¡®pack¡¯ when Flysa was equipped. Though I am slightly curious if Flysa could absorb Raphael if I equipped her, and what would happen to Raphael. Speaking of, what would happen if I used my third unique ability of Raphael and Appoloin? My fingers twitched with the urge to try it, but I withheld myself. I can only have a max of six vassals, and I¡¯m pretty sure Flysa and Jerae count even though they are my wives, leaving two left. Best to save the slots for now. For a few hours we continued to walk and fight through the forest. Most of the monsters were birds, mice, badgers, some bears and wolves, and a very, very angry herd of deer that brought me to level 82; Flysa to level 84, Jerae to level 87, and Reverie and Choco to level 90. While walking around and letting Flysa devour dozens deer corpses I asked Jack a question that had been nagging on my mind; ¡°What exactly do levels do?¡± Jack shrugged, ¡°There is alot of speculation, and while people receive slight bonuses by leveling up it is believed they are mostly used as a counter for evolution. It is believed that the higher one¡¯s level is the faster they rank up traits, but that hasn¡¯t been proven.¡± So level is basically pointless? I pondered it before shrugging and focusing as Flysa absorbed another deer corpse. You¡¯ve been eating alot today Flysa~ I noted with amusement. I felt the armor around me heat up in embarrassment, ¡°Sorry Master, but I¡¯m really hungry for some reason.¡± I shrugged and we continued with clearing the floor til we found a place to settle down for the night. Jack set up his barrier and repellent torches, while I set up a net behind it to catch movement. Then I settled down with Jerae and Flysa; as if it was a given we shared our heat for the night before falling asleep in exhaustion¡­ ¡°*Uuuuu¡­ Master¡­¡± I woke up to Flysa¡¯s groan and her body shaking around us. Jerae was up a moment later, and looking at Flysa in concern. Flysa what is wrong? ¡°I-I don¡¯t know¡­ My body isn¡¯t responding w-well.¡± Her panicked voice streamed into my consciousness, and I stroked her floor while filling her with calming thoughts. Lurching, bubbles formed on the inside of her skin where me and Jerae laid, light filling them as they swelled. While a bit nervous myself I continued stroking her floor. Flysa groaned loudly, her whole body vibrating before the bubble next to my head suddenly lurched and in the next moment burst. Fluid- similar to Jerae¡¯s juices- sprayed my face as dozens of small formless little balls glowing with multicolored flames spilled from the popped bubble, then the surroundings filled with tinkling crying like water on crystals. Confused I gently reached forward and pulled one of the tiny balls forward, and as if finally sensing me they stopped crying and flew to my body, sticking to me while quivering. ¡°¡°¡°Darling? What are¡­?¡±¡±¡± Jerae said in confusion, just as another bubble burst and more little balls of gelatin and flame- along with copious amounts of genital fluid- spilled into the surroundings, then another burst, another. The pace of bursting increased rapidly till a thick layer of fluid covered Flysa¡¯s floor along with me and Jerae, and countless floating balls flew about and clung to me. Some even started slurping up the juices spilled by Flysa, and others seemed to shake and start to transform. As if taking the que all the little balls who were emitting tinkling crystal-sounds started to transform till hundreds of tiny little women filled the surroundings and clung to me and Jerae. Some had multiple heads, others had many arms, some had tails that ended in snake heads while others had tails that ended in foxes, bears, cats, even some that appeared to be beast-kins. All their sizes ranged from four to eleven cen tall, and all were clearly female with tiny breasts and vagina¡¯s, ranging from pre-teens to mature adults. Their features were just as varied, with skin colors ranging from my own pale to bronze to black, eyes and hair all the colors of the rainbow. Each of them had a tiny wispy flame surrounding them, though they didn¡¯t seem to burn any of us. Are they a type of fairy or something? But why did they come out of Flysa? Speaking of which Flysa was eating alot earlier, could¡­ could she have been pregnant? My face cramped slightly as I watched the hundreds of tiny girls and woman dance and play about my and Jerae¡¯s bodies, all emitting tinkling crystal songs as they happily moved about in three dimensions, freely denying gravity on whims. Are¡­ these my children? Chapter -23 | Collective ¡°Master~¡± Flysa happily called out to me, and a second later hundreds of a little voices called me ¡°master¡± and the little fairy-creatures surrounded me, clinging to any exposed by of skin and temporarily covering my vision, one even crawled in my mouth! Gently reaching up I removed the giggling little offender from under my canines and stared at her with fascination. *ting~
Flysa has given birth to three hundred twenty-six Majialtura Coronanimus Avalimsune !
Glancing at the window I read it twice just to be sure of the number. Over three hundred¡­ I sighed and let the little girls play all over my body, their tinkling voices creating a fast-paced melody as they seemed to sing together. They were literally crawling everywhere, if I laid down I would be likely to crush them, and my exhaustion from earlier is starting to catch up with me. As if sensing my tiredness the separated and started pushing me to lay down, and even though they were small they easily managed to overpower me and get me to lie down. A few seconds later Jerae was pulled down near me and my hundreds of little children made themselves at home all over our bodies, with many burying into my tails and hair, others cramming themselves in the spaces between me and Jerae for maximum warmth. Jerae laughed lightly and kissed my noses, ¡°¡°¡°Congratulations Darling~¡±¡±¡± Flysa happily vibrated around us, ¡°Master~ I love you~¡± I smiled wryly, ¡°¡°I love you all, and thank you Flysa.¡±¡± I said with a blush, which only deepened as hundreds of little voices echoed ¡®I love you~¡¯ and snuggled deeper into our bodies. Gradually I drifted off to sleep¡­ -| Master~ Master wake up~! |- Dozens of in sync voices roused me from my sleep, others laughed and gently tugged on my skin and hair. Opening my eyes I was met with a cluster of tiny heads crowding around my two faces. -| Master is up~ Master is up~ |- They chanted happily, giggling and flew about the limited space Flysa made. Sitting up carefully not to crush them I watched them all with a small smile. Though having them not wearing any clothes is highly indecent¡­ I¡¯ll have to transmute them from wolf pelts, but will they be able to fly with that? Also what do I do about names? There is no way I¡¯ll be able to come up with over three hundred different names. Maybe I should make a reward system for them? Those that get achievements get names¡­ My face cramped, Maybe I can split them into groups¡­ Though that is asking for a war among them¡­ I sighed. -| Master~ Master what¡¯s wrong~ |- A few of them flew up and around my faces, causing me to smile wryly. ¡°¡°Nothing~ Having fun?¡±¡± I asked teasingly, causing many of them to grin and fly up to me and give me tiny kisses all over my face. Laughing for a while I hurriedly calmed them down and decided to set some rules, after all we are in a dangerous dungeon¡­ I clapped my hands, ¡°Alright, Listen up.¡± instantly my hundreds of children stood to attention and became silent. Jerae also sat up from where she was laying down. ¡°You guys are allowed to move freely, but no going outside of our sight. When monsters come¡­¡± I trailed off and frowned. There is over three hundred of them, and while I can feel them with Flysa¡¯s [Pack Sense], keeping track of them all will be hard. -| We will defeat the monsters with Master and Momma! |- They all declared with vigor, causing my faces to cramp. Well, they¡¯ll have to be able to survive in this world somehow, though I¡¯ll have to make them all weapons. I sighed, ¡°You are only allowed to fight if we tell you you can, I do not want anyone dying on me.¡± -| Hai! Don¡¯t worry master! |- They cried like an army then went back to flying around randomly while singing their crystal-like sing-song. Sighing again I wondered if I could¡­ I looked at one of my children, a tall (10 cen) three headed girl with four snake tails, eight arms, golden irises, black hair, bronze skin and a delicate purple flame dancing around her. Show status.

Ha! It worked! So that proves I can open their statuses. Though¡­ Collective Heart? I opened up information on it.
[?Collective Heart(Berserker)] - Collective Heart: All mana is shared. All regeneration is shared. The closer together people with this trait are, the more powerful they are. Allows communication of emotions and ideas instantly. Allows communication over any distance. Creates a collective level shared by the net of users with this trait. When the maximum level is reached the whole collective evolves as one. Variation: (Berserker) - You are a berserker of the collective, as such you have increased strength, regeneration, and speed. Other members of the collective can boost these aspects by temporarily giving up their own.
I blinked in surprise, then looked around and viewed the status of another of my children. This one was only four cen tall, had pale silvery skin, one normal head with green irises and light-blue hair, a dozen tails ending in the heads of small white foxes, and a pale blue flame surrounding her.

Hoh, so she is different. Her mana is almost double the berserker, and her role seems to be Dominator instead¡­
Variant: Dominator - You are crowd controller of the collective. Your attacks fuse magic and melee to create a wide variety of debuffs to your opponent. Being a dominator you have increased speed, dexterity, and magic power. Other members of the collective can boost this by temporarily sacrificing theirs.
Noticing my gaze she flew down and landed on my offered palm, blushing slightly as I gently used my finger to massage her head. Fufu, seems as if she is the shy ice-queen type¡­ I thought with a small smile. -| No fair! Pet me too~ |- about three dozen of my children got jealous and made a beline for my hands, flustered the girl sitting on my palm panicked and rocketed to my chest and hid in my moderate cleavage. Amused I slowly pet my children who wanted to be pet, even using small amounts of mana to pet the ones who were desperately struggling to make it through the horde to my hands, eventually satisfying them all after half an hour. Now they peacefully rested all over my body, their breaths rising and falling with my own. Warily the Dominator girl poked one of her tails out of my cleavage- which grew with my last evolution- and took a look around. Determing it was safe her actual head popped out and looked up at me, blushing then hiding again. Now then, I looked around and picked a child resting on my shoulder. Seven cen tall, black skin, four arms tipped with claws, black wolf head, three long fluffy black tails, emerald green hair and flames. *ting~

[ Traits ] : [?Collective Heart(Crafter)] - [Dual-Core(Awakened)] - [Fusion(Epic)] - [Princess] - [Shapeshifter(Legendary)] - [Spirit Fire (Transmuation)]
I raised an eyebrow, crafter eh? My children to be a full guild. Now then, what is this fusion skill?
[Fusion(Epic)] - You are able to fuse your body with other beings that have this trait. The more intimate you are with the being the more efficient and easy the fusion becomes. The more beings you fuse with the harder it is to fuse with another.
...Doesn¡¯t¡­ Doesn¡¯t this mean that they can all fuse into one being? I stared dumbly at the window infront of me, then chuckled softly. ¡°Master, Jack is asking if you are up yet.¡± Flysa¡¯s words leaked into my conscious. ¡°¡°Okay, tell him we¡¯ll be out in a minute.¡±¡± ¡°¡°¡°Ready for the day Darling?¡±¡±¡± Jerae asked with a smile, looking at all of my children resting on me. Heck there was a pig pile of them in my lap. Luckily none of them seemed to snore, though many were purring loudly. However¡­ To move I¡¯ll have to wake them¡­ My face cramped. It¡¯s like kicking a kitten off your legs, sinful and wrong. I sighed, ¡°¡°Flysa, tell Jack we¡¯ll have to keep the barrier up for today, and can you open us up to the air so the kids can go explore a bit.¡±¡± ¡°Hai Master~¡± She said and a big hole opened as she explained to Jack we would be staying here the day. ¡°Wait, we¡¯re staying here because you and Immuta¡¯s children are sleeping? ¡­ What?¡± He dizzily looked into the hole made by Flysa to find me covered in my children. Staring at the scene for a few moments he then stood up and walked away without even making a comment. Chapter -24 | Pondering -| Hai Master! |- My children saluted me with determined expressions, then excitedly flew into the air around us. Jack sighed for the upteenth time today, ¡°Are we ready to go¡­?¡± I nodded and stood up. ¡°¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡±¡± Dispelling the magic barrier Jack gestured for us to take the lead. Traveling through the floor my children inspected every nook and crany with feverish excitement, causing me to smile warmly. I watched a group of them suspiciously stab a tree a dozen times with the small steel spears and swords I made them. Really now¡­ I wryly smiled at them as we continued through the forest. -| Monster~ Spotted! |- A declaration came a few minutes later and my children instantly flew back and went into a decent battle formation. A pack of wolves ran over the roots a dozen seconds later, but before I could dash towards them a few dozen multi-colored flames shot from my children. Blue flames struck the wolves joints and eyes, causing them to howl in pain as parts of them froze. Yellowing flames struck them next, causing small bolts of lightning to singe the wolves. Green flames struck the root-covered ground and fired needles of transmuted wood. Orange flames condensed into points and fired as well, burrowing into the wolves as they yelped in pain. Black flames followed after that and seemed to ¡®eat¡¯ chunks of the wolves¡¯ legs and keeping them from running. And lastly crimson flames lit the wolves aflame, ending their lives. *ting~

My smiles cramped slightly as my children all cheered at a successful job well done. Well, there is no harm done¡­ Maybe I should try to make them actual magic staves? Though their weapons actually fulfill that job rather well¡­ Though I wonder if it is possible to view the status of the collective as a whole? *ting~

[ Collective Boons ] : [Collective of Immuta, ####¡¯s Blessed] - [Daughters of Flysa, Immuta¡¯s Mate]
[ Collective Traits ] : [?Collective Heart (Legendary)] - [Spirit Fire (Epic)]
Ah, there we go. Though why does the window call it my collective instead of my children? Now that I think of it several things are strange. For one they were able to talk quickly after being born, and had knowledge of things like swords and games that¡­ That should be from my knowledge¡­ Unless tag somehow exists in this world and is called the same thing. As well as marco-polo, with the same names. I didn¡¯t think of it at the time, but yesterday when we were resting a bunch of the crafters were building with fallen twigs and sticks, and when asked they said they were building skyscrapers. Do skyscrapers exist in this world? It is unlikely, though I suspect there might be trees as tall as them. So they somehow have information that should be unique to me. Now that I think about it wasn¡¯t Jack sending a confused look when they said stuff about skyscrapers? Though Reverie, Choco, Jerae and Flysa all treated it as common knowledge. Speaking of, all four of them were originally monsters and I doubt they had knowledge of my language, much less things that shouldn¡¯t exist in this world. So somehow they absorbed knowledge that was originally mine, and that knowledge has been passed on to my children. Though if I remember correctly Flysa didn¡¯t know what sex was at first, so the knowledge transfer isn¡¯t perfect. That begs the question how much information was passed down to my children¡­ However none of that actually answers the question of why the window doesn¡¯t call them my children, but calls them the daughter of Flysa. They also call me master instead of mother or father, but that might be inherited from Flysa? Wait, how do slimes usually reproduce? Is it like cells that divide? Asking Jack I got a positive answer, slimes reproduce by creating ¡®buds¡¯ out of their own bodies when they reach a large enough size. The resulting slime is influenced by what is taken in while the bud is growing, and different materials will create different slimes. They cannot reproduce sexually, but is commonly known by researchers that slimes¡¯ reproduction can be sped up with several different things. The first of which is by feeding tons of mana and organic materials. Another way, that in most cases instantly causes the slime to start budding, is to feed it essence; this can be done by giving it fertilized eggs from various beings. Apparently unfertilized eggs also give essence, but it is less likely to cause the slime to bud. I¡¯m guessing this is do to the ¡®soul¡¯, after all everything has a soul right? Then to make the soul wouldn¡¯t you need a material from a steady source? There is no reason that essence couldn¡¯t be this material; that I know of at least. This makes it likely that female eggs and male sperm have high amounts, or specialized, essence. Considering how much leaked onto Flysa when me and Jerae were going at it its not really that surprising¡­ And since they¡¯re not really made from my ¡®flesh¡¯, then they are not considered my children¡­ I shook my head, it¡¯s all theoretical. Unfortunately I have no proof. Another thing I learned from Jack was that slimes can only reproduce- at most- once a month. Hopefully I wouldn¡¯t be having thousands of children anytime soon. Three hundred is more than enough for now. We continued through the forest with my children taking down the occasional monster after a scolding for attacking without permission. As such their collective level reached 96 before the end of the day. On the other hand I reached level 99, Jerae level 97, Reverie and Choco level 94, and Flysa reached level 100. Reverie and Choco seem to be falling behind the rest of us¡­ not to mention their existence seems a little thin as well. Then again I created both of them on a whim, not meant to fill any specific purpose. With Jerae I wanted a companion to share my pain and vengeance from what I gleam from her abilities, Flysa on the other hand is a faithful fortress to protect me. Reverie and Choco¡­ Are subordinates. Flimsy ideas I didn¡¯t put thought into, just a test, nothing more and nothing less. Still that existence is kind of sad¡­ They don¡¯t require attention, merely following my orders as if an extension of my will, not a companion. The question is what to do with them¡­ ¡°Is something wrong master?¡± Shaking my two heads I responded with slight befuddlement, Just trying to figure out what to do with Reverie and Choco. I glanced back at them, faithfully marching behind like soldiers. Completely loyal, but empty. That¡¯s my view of them. If I ordered them they would kill themselves without hesitation. Not the kind of existence I want as a friend, after all living things flourish on conflict or all types. We quickly set up camp with the held of my children as I pondered this. Chapter -25 | System Failure Settling down for the night Flysa surrounded Jerae and I like usual, though my children all joined us inside. Jerae drew closer, her clothes had already disappeared. Her snake tail waved alluringly in the air, and before I could tell her to stop my children grew excited. -| Master is going to have sex! |- Cheers rose from the mass and they crowded closer, much to my blushing face. ¡°¡°O-Oi what are you guys doing!?¡±¡± I yelled with a flushed face as I felt several of them crawl near my naked anus, several others crowding around my penis and Jerae¡¯s privates. -| Getting ready to make Master feel good! |- They answered with several laughs and I instantly felt someone stick their tiny hand in my butt. ¡®¡°¡°Fufu, can¡¯t you see they want to help?¡±¡±¡± Jerae purred as I was slowly pinned down by their collective efforts. -| Don¡¯t worry Master~ Leave it to us~ |- A group with pink-flames fluttered above my head with bright smiles. Ignoring my protests innumerable hands pressed into my bodies and connected. I could hear the thoughts of all my children, all three hundred and twenty six of them.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. -| Master~ Master~ Master~ |- Surprisingly I could hear Flysa humming in there as well, and realized something important. Their not so much my children as offshoots of Flysa, it was like looking at the innumerable leaves of a tree. As such Flysa¡¯s will is a ¡®law¡¯ which they are created by. And that includes attraction to me. Embarrassed, flustered, and confused I let myself fall to the bliss of my family- *UHFEHIHSFHEISFH ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! SYSTEMS-! I didn¡¯t even have time to produce a questioning expression before everything whited out.
So you guys are probably wondering just happened. Well to sum it up I got bored, so I decided to create an offshoot towards a completely unexpected direction. To give a hint of what this is going to be based off of; has anyone read ¡®Rules free-Vrmmo¡¯ lately? Ignoring the actual plot the system and setup is going to be similar. Anyway~ Hope you all aren¡¯t too mad. (BTW this fiction will still be called the same thing, and Immuta will be ¡®born¡¯ again. Flysa might show up somewhere too, but for now we¡¯ll see what happens.) Also, not to get your hopes up but I might go back to the ¡®actual¡¯ plotline if the world ever gets ¡®fixed¡¯. (After all this malfunction is due to carelessness.) Cya in a bit. Chapter -26 | Prologue 2 Part 1 Dimly I felt myself waking up to my head being gently stroked by a feminine hand. Wait, head!? My eyes snapped open, and I instantly recognized the lack of mana surrounding me, the lack of double vision and processing, the lack of tails on my buttox. And more despairing then that I felt the lack of a link with anyone. Flysa, Jerae, Reverie, Choco, my children. Gone. ¡°¡°¡°¡°¡°I see you are up young one.¡±¡±¡±¡±¡± I looked up and realized I was getting a lap pillow from a very elegant woman with sharp features that seemed to twist and warp as I stared, as if she was constantly transforming through various creatures. ¡°U-um, who are you?¡± I asked, realizing my voice was back to how it was before I died. The woman smiled slightly, ¡°I am ----¡¯s, goddess of evolution.¡± She sighed, ¡°As for why you¡¯re here¡­ Frankly some idiot rammed their dimension into the one I placed you in.¡± She ended with an animalistic growl. A bit of panic gripped my heart, ¡°What about Flysa and the rest?¡± ¡°Normally they would be dead, and while there is no way I could have saved them all I sealed Jerae, Flysa and three of Flysa¡¯s children in a pocket around your soul.¡±Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. So over three hundred of them died¡­ Tears threatened to spill out of my eyes as my heart lurched in my chest. Gently the goddess stroked my head with her shifting claw-hand, ¡°Don¡¯t worry child, while I couldn¡¯t save them they will all go into the cycle of reincarnation. Death isn¡¯t permanent after all, merely a stepping stone.¡± Calming down I sent her a questioning gaze, ¡°So what is going to happen to me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m obviously going to send you into another world for my entertainment.¡± She said with a smile. My face cramped a bit, then I sighed. ¡°What world will I be being born into?¡± ¡°To make things easier on me you will be born into a world like your original one, except further in the future where VRMMORPG¡¯s exist.¡± She smiled like an excited child and flicked her finger, various bits of information flowed into my head. ¡°In this world I will have you play a certain VRMMORPG that will come out seventeen years after your birth. Until then you are allowed to do whatever you want, as long as you keep yourself away from death; which with all things considered won¡¯t be too hard with the family you are going into.¡± I gave the goddess an odd look, ¡°What about Jerae, Flysa and my three children?¡± She waved her hand, ¡°If you play the VRMMORPG I¡¯m telling you to you will be able to summon them as familiar¡¯s.¡± Remembering a point she continued, ¡°Right, if you play games made by Digital dreams there will be a bonus when you finally play the game I want you to. Now then, go on my child.¡± With a flick of her fingers my consciousness was sent away, and a minute later I opened my blurry, distorted eyes. Chapter -27 | Prologue 2 Part 2 ¡°Yes.¡± I answered the void spreading around me. Seventeen years have come and gone since I was born into this new world with a loving family, that seriously needed to curb their willingness to spoil me.

I barely glanced at the window before responding. ¡°Yes.¡± My figure popped up infront of me, though it was a bit different from my real-life figure, as the game registered a person¡¯s self image for the base. In all honesty my self image made me appear quite feminine, though that is info for me alone. After adjusting my appearance a relatively tall, decently-muscled, tan-skinned man stood sleepily gazing at me with sharp brown eyes. Half of his face was covered in sparse lines of white scales that continued down his body ending at his waist. His ankles, wrists and knucles were also adorned with the soft scales, with fingers and toes ending in gently sloped claws. Haphazard black hair stood up from his skull in short thick spike-like clumps, but besides that no other hair was on his body leaving him as naked as a babe. ¡°Finish modifying.¡±

Multiple Personality Disorder - Are you crazy? You don¡¯t really know, the voices in your head haven¡¯t come to a decision. Other¡¯s tend to view you oddly, and the voices you hear are often distracting- but do have their uses. Every see a mage cast two completely different spells at once? You have two other ¡®personalities¡¯ living in your head, whether this is good or bad has yet to be decided. People tend to avoid you, and you¡¯ll sometimes mumble suspiciously to yourself. People of the healer specialty are more likely to pity you and offer their help. You can analyze things 40% faster! Thanks to the voices in your head reminding you of things, you have a better memory! -2% to growth rate for each voice in your head. When you reach a certain level of power another voice will join you! -3% to focus for each voice in your head. You learn things 30% faster.
Continue? Yes / No
Slowly I made my way through the list and finally sighed. Luckily the growth slowing traits are cancelled by the accelerators. Besides that looks like I am going to deal with sleeping alot¡­ or not? How much does ADHD cancel? Well I¡¯ll figure it out ¡°Continue.¡± I already decided on the new name I¡¯d go by for this game. ¡°Ijus Corona.¡± ¡°Status.¡± *ting~

Content I checked my remaining points, and nearly groaned at having over a hundred-thousand left to spend. C#: 116,364 Well, I didn¡¯t expect to become this much of a cheat¡­ Sighing I ranked all my proficiencies up to A, costing me 33,200 points and bringing my total down to about 83 thousand. Now what the heck am I going to increase¡­ I went back to my status and looked at what I could make better. I could increase my affinities by 1% for 150 points, and I quickly decided to increase Light and Wind by 200% subtracting another 30k from my left over points. I then raised my other four affinities by 50% each for another 30k, then started looking over my stats. You can buy one stat for 200p, meaning I could buy about 115 stat points- and I promptly did, putting twenty into both Luck and Charisma and giving five to Str, Con, Spt, and Mnd, putting 25 on Agl, while spending the rest on Dex. This leaves me with 164p left¡­ For 4p I found I can purchase 1gold, so I spent the rest and got myself 41 gold. ¡°Yes.¡± A soft light rose around me and quickly faded, leaving me in what appeared to be a vast expanse of sandy desert with the occasional shrub. Looking up I found the night sky in all its glory, countless stars glimmering on black velvet that stretched infinitely. A single pale blue moon glowed in the sky, giving the sand underneath me a silvery sheen. *ting~
Hello~ It¡¯s Tutorial-chan! For your information the tutorial scales in difficulty depending on your starting stats, qualities, perks, race, traits and even former incarnations! Luckily for you you were previously super overpowered in your incarnations, so the tutorial is going to be super~ difficult! Of course rewards will scale to the difficulty, but for now I suggest you form your Soul Forged weapons before some monsters trace your scent¡­ Good luck~
Cocking an eyebrow at the screen I then quickly swiped it away and brought out my soul weapons, which for now just appeared as two floating balls of energy in my hand. So its similar to how I brought out Raphael¡­ Slightly nostalgic I started focusing on the images of my weapons. One of them was going to be a type of glaive, except more focused on piercing than cutting, but similar to one it would keep the wide blade for slashing and counterweights. Appearing in my hand the silver swordstaff-like weapon shone in the moonlight, its handle wrapped in strips of thin red leather. Gentle but bold ancient-egyptian patterns shimmered to life on the metal, and whole thing started glowing dimly with power. While slightly different, ¡°I name you Raphael, treat me well.¡± I said to the glaive-spear. *ting~
Raphael - S Class Soul Forged Weapon
Type: Glaive / Swordstaff hybrid Base Damage: 20 - 23 Piercing | 26 - 31 Slashing After-image Damage: 5 - 7 Light
A swordstaff-glaive hybrid soul weapon created and owned by Ijus Corona, filled with light element magic, named after an angel of wisdom. Multiple after images follow near the trajectory of the weapon, dealing slight amounts of damage when they hit the enemy. Something dormant sleeps inside... Current After-images: 2 After image damage increases by your light affinity.
Satisfied I nodded with a small smile then desummoned Raphael and focused on the second weapon soul. Slowly a long katana, adorned with windy Japanese brush strokes etched into the faintly shimmering silver metal, formed in my hands. Thin strips of soft green leather wrapped the hilt, sitting comfortably in my hands. A faint breeze swirled around the katana, gently caressing my hands. Looking at the blade I smiled and stroked its flat side, ¡°I name you Ariel, to become the wind that guards me from my enemies.¡± *ting~
Ariel - S Class Soul Forged Weapon
Type: Katana Base Damage: 32 - 39 Slashing Elemental Damage: 10 -12 Wind
A katana soul weapon created and owned by Ijus Corona, filled with wind element magic and named after an angel of wind and nature. A gentle breeze surrounds this weapon, but when swung the wind turns into a violent gust, diverting projectiles and magic while ripping apart enemies, even capable of cutting things beyond the blades normal reach. Wind element damage increase by your wind affinity.
I checked over the status window then dismissed it, then switched Ariel with Raphael and looked to the horizon, it didn¡¯t seem that the sun would be rising anytime soon, so I might as well start moving. Well then, shall we? Chapter -29 | Hardcore tutorial I didn¡¯t take more than thirty steps before a humanoid figure burst through the sand less than a meter from me. An instant before the figure covered the distance a ting~ rang out and time froze. THe world unfroze a second later and the goblin swung a shimmering dagger at my side. Stepping back I thrust the blunt end of raphael into the goblin¡¯s armpit, lifting it off the ground but only managing to bruise the thing. Before the goblin regained its footing I swept Raphael towards its neck, hurriedly the goblin defended with its dagger but couldn¡¯t stop the blade and was smacked to the side. Raphael barely cut its muscle, I growled in annoyance and sharpened my focus, and promptly stepped back to avoid a whistling arrow. Two more goblins burst from the sand behind me, spears pointed at my back twirling Raphael I knocked the spears aside and thrust her blade into the throat of the left goblin, the after images following a moment later and cutting to the goblins spine. Hearing the stretch of a bow I hurriedly shifted my entire body to the side, an arrow scratching my leg before burying itself in the sand. >You have been poisoned< I cursed and deflected the spear and dagger of the two close-combat goblins while my ears picked up the subtle guttural chant riding on the desert breeze. Cursing again I desummoned Raphael and brought out Ariel, the switch startling the goblins and allowing me to score a gash across the dagger-goblins cheek as it tried to duck. Continuing my flow I attacked the spear goblin, knocking its spear to the outside and swinging Ariel into the back of its neck, cutting halfway through before stopping. With a roar I felt heat and light approaching from behind while Ariel was still stuck in the damn things neck. Jumping forward into a roll I swung Ariel with goblin corpse attached to it, the goblin detaching from the blade and taking the explosive fireball head on, but the shockwave still caused me to roll in the cool sand. Twang~ I pushed myself off the ground in a hurry, but an arrow still managed to scrape the side of my neck, the area starting to tingle and burn from poison. The dagger-goblin came charging in silently, in response I switched Ariel who was lightly buried in the sand with Raphael and thrust forward, catching the goblin in the chest with a Clang~ and grit my teeth, so they have metal armor underneath their rags, shit. Luckily my blow knocked the breath out of the goblin so I dug my feet in and thrust Raphael into its throat, ending its life. Twang~ ¡°Guh-¡± An arrow thocked into my gut, driving the breath out of me. Gritting my teeth I glimpsed the two goblins under the sand, jumping to the side I dodged another arrow, while the one in my gut twisted in agony, ignoring it I bolted forward. The goblin mage stood from the sand with his hands angrily spread towards me, and promptly finished its chant. Blue light shot from his hands and the sand around me started to twist, my foot sinking slightly, Shit ¡°Fuck!¡± ¡°look out!¡±, I rolled forward, barely missing the section that became quicksand. Coming upright I threw Raphael like a spear at the archer catching it in the gut due to his surprise while his arrow missed me by a wide margin. Bringing out Ariel I covered the distance between me and the mage, who remained calm and chanting while withdrawing a dagger from its dusty robes. I swung towards its neck and the goblin prepared the dagger to defend, but I then forcibly brought my blade lower and caught the goblin in the waist, Ariel slicing through its robes and causing the goblins chanting to interrupt as it grit its yellowing teeth in pain. The goblin then tried to chuck the dagger at my face, which I tilted my head to avoid but still got a cut on my ear that promptly started burning. Withdrawing Ariel I slashed at the goblin¡¯s throat, severing it and ending its life in a gurgle. Panting from the burning spreading through my body I gripped the mages robes and pulled him over to the archer, then promptly searched them both and managed to find a bottle with the word ¡®antidote¡¯ written on the cap; which I promptly uncorked and drank. >You have been cured of poison< Slowly the burning faded away and left only sore pain. Desummoning Raphael and Ariel I searched the Archer again and came across a skinning knife, which I promptly used to undelicately cut the barbed arrow out of my gut. Luckily it wasn¡¯t too deep, though I should probably stop the bleeding. ¡°Yeah, we definitely want to do that.¡± Luckily it appears the archer had a roll of cloth in a container to keep sand from getting in, along with two canteens of water that I could use to wash out my wound. After patching myself up I stood, *ting~

Blinking after the message finished I looked around the Archer and spotted a few coins dropped in the sand ¡°loot!¡±. I twitched at the voice in my head, promptly ignored it then checked the rest of the corpses. Besides taking all their weapons and spare food I also found a dozen or so silver along with two items.
Desert Leather Boots - D Class (Level 15)

A type of boot made for trekking through vast expanses of sand without the need to empty them. Sand will not gather in these boots.

There is a 70% chance for enemies of the same level to pass by this tent without noticing.
¡°Oh thank god! I don¡¯t think I can stand these tiny grains biting my feet!¡± A feminine girl cried with relief; ¡°Haaa¡­¡± Another woman sighed in content, then giggled ¡°I¡¯m just glad to sink my blades into the goblins unworthy flesh~¡± My eyebrow twitched, The voices are going to take some getting used to. ¡°Hey! What do you mean by that~¡± The woman teased, and the girl sniffed disdainfully, ¡°Without me you two wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything.¡± I sighed and equipped the boots while placing the tent in my inventory. I also had about twenty rations the goblins had been storing on themselves along with five water canteens that were about half-full. The girl seemed to frown, ¡°Couldn¡¯t they have left us a bit more water? Pathetic creatures.¡± Then the woman giggled curiously as I glanced at a corpse, ¡°I wonder if their blood would serve as nourishment?¡± ...Maybe in emergencies. ¡°Aw, why are you so hesitant?¡± She chimed while mentally sprawling out in my head. The girl sniffed disdainfully again, ¡°Why would you even think of us stooping so low to drink from such peasant bodies?¡± ¡°Because it might taste good~ After all¡­¡± She shivered in ecstasy, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin, ¡°Killing them is so delicious without even tasting them~¡± The girl snorted, ¡°We were merely putting them in their place. Though I think they should have suffered more since they attacked us.¡± She directed the last at me, as if reprimanding my behavior. Meanwhile I was starting to trudge through the softly glowing desert again, incase of emergencies I put a goblin corpse in my inventory, but that would only be if I couldn¡¯t find other food and ran out. Curiously I opened up my status.

I sighed, I increased by about 10 in every stat. Just a tad overpowered. ¡°Of course,¡± The girl snorted, ¡°It is only right that we do so.¡± Meanwhile the woman seemed to be salivating, ¡°Bigger monsters will come right? We can make them bleed right!?¡± Rubbing the bridge of my nose I summoned Raphael and continued walking while the two in my head talked about whether putting large monsters under our feet or slaughtering them is better. Chapter -30 | Disparity of Teams Vs Solo After an hour of walking I reached the top of a sand dune, then crouched as I spotted fires a dune away along with the gentle blue glow of calm mana. Narrowing my eyes I tried to make out the dark figures. Short. ¡°Humph, probably more of those pathetic goblins.¡± ¡°Can we cut them?¡± I shook my head, too many to take on directly. There was at least thirty wandering around the encampment. Five was hard enough. ¡°Uuu~ They dare pose a threat to us!¡± ¡°Too many to cut? No! Just more to cut!¡± The voices in my head protested, but I wasn¡¯t wavering on this. It would be different if I had allies or magic that could take out large swaths of them and instill panic, but I have neither at the moment. *Bvvvvvvvv!!! My head swirled towards the noise and found a sentry on another dune near me blowing the alarm while pointing in my direction. I didn¡¯t even spot him!? ¡°Grr! Cut him cut him!¡± Suddenly another horn was blown three times on the other side of the encampment. More enemies? Good it will thin their numbers. Dropping his horn the sentry took out his bow and took aim. Narrowing my eyes I slid to the side and charged, an arrow whistling by my face. Unfortunately there was over thirty meters between the archer and me, letting him get off a few shots- one that even scraped my shoulder- before I reached him and he withdrew his dagger to fend off Raphael. Thrusting I twisted Raphael and cut his wrist, then promptly thrust forward towards his neck, but only caught his shoulder as he dodged and yelled in pain. Stepping in close I pulled out Raphael from the wound then jammed her blade into the goblin¡¯s throat. *Twang~ Continuing with the momentum I let myself roll forward, letting three arrows fly by me, two getting close to my shin and arm before they disappeared into the desert night. Getting on my feet I dashed towards the party of seven goblins approaching me, comprised of three archers, a mage, a goblin wielding a shield and sword, and two dagger goblins. I groaned internally at seeing the metal armor covering the shield-sword goblin glinting in the moonlight. ¡°How dare he wear armor in our presence!¡± ¡°Cut him Cut him Cut him!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t dummy! The most we can do is use the butt of Raphael to stun him or knock off his helmet!¡± The archers all took aim and shot at different parts of my body consecutively. Growling in annoyance I skipped to the side and avoided the arrows, then the mage finished chanting and a wall of sand rose and flew at me. Gritting my teeth I watched the shifting grains and ran to the side, barely clearing the wall before I heard the familiar twang of bows and brought my arm infront of my vitals. *thockthock- ¡°Rr-¡± Ignoring the arrows now painfully stuck in my arm and abdomen I bolted forward again, gripping Raphael as the warrior goblin came into close range. Glancing around I spotted the dagger goblins trying to flank me. Their cooperation is no joke. Twirling Raphael like a glaive I feinted towards the goblins foot the thrust towards his armored face, startled he hurriedly brought up his shield but failed to fully block and was dazed by the impact. Not hesitating for a second I swung Raphael in a right arc, the dagger goblin reflected the blade upwards and I stepped forward while striking from underneath with Raphael¡¯s blunt edge and slammed into the goblins hidden metal chestplate and forcing it to stumble backwards. Lowering my stance I shifted in the other direction and thrust towards the dagger goblin charging from behind. The goblin parried the blade to the side with all its effort and I used the momentum to step closer and use the other end of raphael to swipe its feet from underneath it, then brought Raphael¡¯s blade down on its skull, cutting through the bone. *twang~ Fwoosh~ Fire and arrows approached me from the side while the warrior goblin cut off my escape, growling I used Raphael as a lever and threw the corpse under me into the flames to buffet most of the damage. The warrior roared in anger and tried and went to bash me with its shield, which I promptly jumped onto front of and used it as a spring to put distance between us, then charged the Mage and the Archers. Twisting my body I barely dodged the three arrows and continued crossing the forty meters between us. The Archers and Mage split up going in separate directions, earning another angry growl from me. Dodging to the side I went to cut off the rightmost archer, even though the mage was the most troublesome. Two arrows flew at me from the side along with a fireball, while the archer I was charging towards aimed an arrow right at my forehead. Gritting my teeth I swung raphael and deflected the arrows aiming for my legs while diving towards the ground and rolling, the fireball singeing the back of my shirt as it passed overhead. Bolting forward I didn¡¯t give the Archer another chance before I leapt forward with Raphael caught him in the chest despite him trying to defend with his bow, the arrow he had pulled taught making a long cut on my arm as it flew by me.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. The soft shift of sand alerted me to movement behind me, and I threw myself over the Archer corpse just in time to dodge the slashing dagger of a goblin. Withdrawing and thrusting with Raphael I managed to catch the goblin off balance and score a long cut through his cheek, then swung Raphael¡¯s blunt end into the goblins leg, shattering its knee and causing it to cry in pain as it collapsed. Before I could finish it the Warrior goblin charged in with a roar and swung wildly. I stepped back and dodged while attacking with Raphael and shifting so the warrior was between me and the two archers- where¡¯s the mage!? Glancing around I found the mage to my side finishing his chant. ¡°Tsk.¡± I thrust towards the warrior¡¯s head again, Raphael clanging off his shield but momentarily blocking his vision, I then danced to his side and dodged a flying cannon-like ball of sand, only to have two arrows fly at me; one painfully burying itself in my shoulder and the other nearly taking out my left eye. Yelling in pain and rage I crouched and feinted towards the warriors back which he promptly redirected his shield to block, then pulled back thrust upwards with blunt end of Raphael and successfully knocking off his helmet and stunning him. Not giving him a chance to recover I switched Raphael with Ariel then brought down Ariel¡¯s blade on his face, cleaving into his skull and ending his life. Grinning ferally I dashed towards the mage, my shoulder, arm and abdomen screaming in pain as the arrow heads twisted in my flesh. The mage started to panic, and after dodging three rapidly fired arrows I reached him and he fumbled his chant as he struggled to pull out a dagger. Without hesitation I thrust Raphael into his throat, claiming another life. Two to go. ¡°Cut them!¡± ¡°Show them their place!¡± One of the Archers started edging towards their encampment. The other continued to fire arrows at me rapidly, which with exhaustion slowly starting to replace adrenaline became harder and harder to dodge. The other Archer, as if sensing his chance took aim as well, but I wouldn¡¯t have any of that. I bolted forward with my remaining stamina, and the archer retreated in response and I grit my teeth. Yelling with rage I forcibly accelerated and closed the twenty meter distance, earning another cut across my leg in the effort. Tossing his bow to the side the Archer drew a dagger and charged me. I swung Ariel in an arc, then twisted my wrists as he went block, sweeping underneath the dagger and then thrusting into his chest. Hearing a whistle I ducked, the arrow taking a few strands of my hair as it passed. Withdrawing Ariel from the corpse I turned just in time to see the archer yell in fear- -and a scaled monstrosity descend upon it with fury, one swipe of its trunk-like arm blowing the goblin into pieces. It was akin to a humanoid lizard crossed with a bear, yet moved without a sound as it turned its head towards me, saliva dripping from its toothy maw as it took a step forward and started running at me with double my own speed. Grinding my teeth dozens of scenarios bolted through my brain as I desperately found one to cling on. Roaring I charged as well, and the beast shook as if annoyed. Swinging its arm with confidence I felt cold-sweat going down my back, then threw Ariel at its face, causing it to start in surprise as its claw redirected to get rid of the shiny weapon flying at it, allowing me to get so close I was basically right underneath the giant creature, looking upwards I gathered my breath- Nymph¡¯s Grace!- and blew out a roar right into the beast¡¯s face as it looked downward, Dragon¡¯s Breath! A tornado of light and bits of other elements shot from my mouth like lightning, the beast didn¡¯t even have have time to roar in pain as the scathing light carved out its eyes and ripped apart the insides of its mouth, going down its throat as it inhaled and scarring its lungs. In the next moment my breath ended and I wearily jumped out from underneath the beast as it tried to roar in pain, but all that came out was a wheeze as it collapsed onto the ground, bleeding from its broken and charred face. The shifting of sand alerted me to another enemy and instantly summoned Raphael and thrust the blunt end backwards, blowing the breath from the goblin I thought was out of commision. Turning around I swung Raphael and deprived the goblin of its head, ending the battl- -I froze on seeing two hulking shadows staring at me from the top of the dune. Two more of the damn beasts!? I grit my teeth and prepped Raphael as they started to move. One dashed down the dune, the other jumped high into the air on course to land behind me. Dashing backwards to keep them in my line of sight I barely cleared the beasts landing point before it crashed into the sand and the ground shook with the impact. Not giving me time to rest the beast swung its thick arms. Focusing all my effort into dodging the wind-stirring blows I despaired as the other beast dashed around its companion to flank me, exhaustion eating away at my limbs as I struggled to continue fighting. The beast infront suddenly raised its leg and a golden energy gathered around it, right before it slammed it into the ground with a thunderous roar, blasting sand in all directions and depriving me of my vision- *Cra~ckffffffffffffff - The ground buckled and rapidly started sinking, the two beasts froze in confusion as it lurched, then suddenly, like a falling tower of cards it gave way forty meters in every direction. The beasts finally made a sound as they roared in confusion, desperately trying to cling to something as we fell among obscene amounts of sands and stones. For two dozen seconds we fell aimlessly, while I was trying to get my grips in the new environment. I spotted a few of the goblins I defeated earlier through the sand and stones, but they wouldn¡¯t help me now. I continued to look for a way to survive, but found nothing until my ears picked up a sort of rumbling. Like a river. I looked down and peered into the quickly approaching darkness. """Shit.¡±¡±¡± Chapter -31 | Corrupted Spirits *ting~ Dimly I awoke to the notification noise going off and wearily opened my eyes, trying to fend off exhaustion as my body demanded rest. What greeted me was a large screen,

¡°Blessed by the spirits?¡± I muttured in confusion. ¡°Hmph, as they rightfully should be.¡± The girl sniffed, and the woman pouted; ¡°So no cutting them?¡± Tinkling laughter, nostalgic of the time my children were born, gently caressed my ears as I finally started to observe my surroundings. I was laying on the hardpacked ground of an underground alcove, light shining from thousands of tiny crystals fused with the sandy stone-brick walls. Half my body was submerged in gently tugging water, and I ungracefully pulled myself up onto dry ground to escape. I grumbled in annoyance as I felt the weight of my wet clothes, While sand won¡¯t get in my boots, water definitely can. The girl scoffed again; ¡°Stupid water, touching our divine body without permission.¡± Looking around some more I found a small altar in the center of the alcove with hundreds of multi-colored lights dancing around it. Are those spirits? ¡°Can we cut them?¡± A few of the lights, formless as they were, flew around me and seemed to tug on my clothes. Pulling me towards the altar. Shrugging I let them pull me closer, then reached out and touched the small depression on its side. [ Can you hear us? Can you hear us? ] A multitude of excited voices asked repeatedly, and I blinked in surprise before responding. ¡°Yeah, is there something you need?¡± The voices cheered at my reply, then descended into tinkling laughter. [ No no, nothing we need. Stuff we want though~ ] They said with the enthusiasm of a child who wanted their parents to guess. I smiled wryly, ¡°And what is it that you want?¡± [ We want to play~ *giggle* We want a conduit. We want to be used. We want a caster. We want to be given form and life~ ] However they sighed and worriedly examined me. [ But right now you¡¯re too weak. Your body won¡¯t be able to handle bringing us form¡­ Say, do you think you could grow stronger and come back to us? Do you? ] *ting~

¡°I accept.¡± At my words the spirits danced happily. [ We¡¯ll be waiting~ ] *ting~ Time returned to normal and I stood up, taking my finger away from the altar and severing the connection to the spirits. Let¡¯s see, I¡¯m inside a dungeon so there is definitely monsters of some kind¡­ unless it is a trap dungeon¡­ The problem is I have no information on this area. Dungeons, in good VRMMORPG¡¯s, cannot simply be ¡®dived¡¯ into. If you¡¯re going into a zombie dungeon you¡¯d need very different gear than a golem dungeon. And out of those two types I am actually better equipped to deal with zombies. If I am lucky I¡¯ll have normal flesh and blood mobs I can fight, and hopefully this dungeon isn¡¯t laced with traps. Also hopefully it is at, or near my level¡­ ¡°Hmph,¡± The girl crossed her arms in my mind, ¡°Even if it isn¡¯t they shall kneel before us in the end.¡± The woman giggled, ¡°Yah~ we will cut them no matter how powerful.¡±This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. I sighed, Glad to see you two are optimistic. Ignoring their replies I peeked outside of the alcove. The river that swept me in here was rather shallow, but the current was strong enough to sweep me off my feet if I am not careful. Across from it was a platform like in the halls of a sewer. Of course this is much cleaner than a sewer, with sandy-yellow stone bricks lined with pictograms of various desert animals. Looking down the hallway in either direction I found it curving gently till it was out of my sight, sloping ever so slightly down to the left. So is this the hallway between floors? Or are floors generally three dimensional? Carefully I lowered my stance and waded through the tugging river. Luckily the bottom was rough and gave me good purchase with my water-clogged boots, if it was smooth brick like the walls there would have been a problem. After making it up onto the walkway I decided to head downwards, even if it might house stronger monsters. After walking for a good fifteen minutes I finally noticed the slope evening out, and the entrance to a room peeking around the corner. Preparing Ariel for close quarters fighting I warily approached the entrance, and spotted several things inside. Wispy distorted imitations of the creatures on the walls awkwardly pattered and walked about. Various colors clad them, and crackling sobs echoed off the creatures, similar yet far from the laughter of the spirits at the altar. Don¡¯t tell me this is an immaterial dungeon? Bloody hell I wish I had something along the lines of appraisal. I continued observing the beings from outside the doorway. Another thing is this whole ruin glowed with the blue lights of mana, which collected in the nooks and crannies between bricks as small glowing crystals, and distorted the air when it drew near the creatures. As if twisting their flesh¡­ ¡°Pathetic beings. We should purge them now.¡± ¡°Yes, cut them~ Cut Them~¡± They seem to not have actual vision, as they would have already spotted me in the entrance. Collecting myself I stepped into the room, and as if a signal the nearest being froze, and like a wave of stillness they all sixteen became silent one after another, then charged as if going into a frenzy, screeching with fury. Half of them were shaped like distorted wolves, various limbs added randomly. Similar to those were four birds who could not possibly fly normally with extra wings, legs and heads. Three more of them appeared to be large rats, and the last one was some type of big cat, tiger maybe? Switching Ariel with Raphael I swept her through the wolves in the lead, and had a mixture of horror and relief when I first saw Raphael harmlessly pass through, then the afterimages actually cutting through all the wolves but one that was dully glowing gold. However none of them were dead, merely stunned due to the damage. Switching Raphael with Ariel I stabbed her into the golden glowing wolf as it lunged at me, her curved blade sliding through its throat while the following winds coming off her ripped through its body. So I was right, the colors represent elements. Gold was light, and I checked whether green was wind by sweeping Ariel towards the remaining wolves and seeing the winds cut through all but the soft green. However it appears these beings don¡¯t have vitals as the most massive parts of their bodies continued to move unnaturally. Luckily they at least lose mass, which means they can be killed. The green wolf-spirit got close and lunged at me; I switched Ariel with Raphael and used the staff to knock it away, then thrust Raphael into its head area and swirled it around to destroy as much as I could with the after images. The three rats reached me a second later, two green and one black, and lunged at my feet while screeching. I swung Raphael down by my toes, lightly scratching the floor with her tip as I cut through the rats; half of their bodies dissipated while the other half continued to lunge at my feet. I grit my teeth and I tried to slide away but one of the green ones clung onto my boot and started angrily gnawing on it. No damage? I glanced at the rat, and since it didn¡¯t seem to weigh anything and I didn¡¯t want to accidentally stab my foot I left the rat where it is. It¡¯s green, so wind. Do they only deal elemental damage? While hesitant I let the black rat remains attack my foot as well, and instantly the toes of my boot were crushed sending bright pain up my nerves. Yelling I pulled out Ariel and swiped at my foot, destroying the remains the black rat. Growling in annoyance and now with a visible limp, I ignored the two green birds flying at me and sliced into the red and brown ones, their small bodies being their undoing as they dissipated in puffs of smoke. The tiger was still standing in the back as the wolves continued to try and goad me into over extending. The green birds were now furiously pecking at my head, but I didn¡¯t even feel a breeze from them, as if they weren¡¯t even there. Definitely elemental damage. My high affinities to light and wind probably makes me immune from those types. My other affinities all being above 50% probably helps, I would hate to see what my foot would look like if they weren¡¯t. As it was I focused on cutting apart the mobs that weren¡¯t gold or green, quickly crushing the rest of the wolves. To actually kill them I found I had to get their remaining parts less than half the size of my palm, small enough to be annoying but not small enough to be impossible. It was alot of work, the damn things taking dozens of swings to kill. Sometime when I was finishing the last wolf the tiger jumped at me with an ear-shattering roar, but I left the golden tiger to gnaw on my arm while looking at the things that dropped from the corrupted spirits.
Fire Avian Spirit Ring - C Spirit Class (Level 32)
Type: Ring Elemental Defense: 10 - 12 Fire Fire Wings | +1% Fire affinity
A ring dropped from a avian fire spirit. It contains a bit of the spirit¡¯s power. When in the air you can activate the rings ability to form small, flaming wings allowing you to glide for four seconds.
Watery Necklace - E Spirit Class (Level 28)
Type: Necklace Elemental Defense: 1 - 3 Water Element Damage: 1 - 1 Water
A necklace dropped from a water wolf spirit. It contains very little of the spirit¡¯s power.
Dark Spirit¡¯s Needle - C Spirit Class (Level 33)
Type: Throwing Dart/Dagger Elemental Damage: 20 - 20 Dark Poison | Dark Weight
A ten cen long needle that looks somewhat like the tail of a dark rat spirit that it dropped from. It contains a bit of the spirit¡¯s power. When it is stuck in an enemy it deal 3 Dark damage every second. When stuck in an enemy all movements are slowed by 2%.
Unfortunately it seems that the battle notification wouldn¡¯t come up while enemies still remained, even if they couldn¡¯t do anything to me. Sighing sadly I looked at the tiger who was weightlessly beating on my with its claws while my shoulder was in its jaw. Stepping I grimaced as pain shot up my shattered toes. Sighing I looked down at found a small bit of blood trickling out of my shoes- which was being drunk up the green rat spirit- -I blinked in surprise. It¡¯s no longer crying? I knelt down carefully and realized that the rat spirit was also healed, its extra limbs were gone, the distortions on its body were now evened out, and it seemed to be squeaking in happiness. Noticing me it looked up and squeaked what was probably a thank you before scampering towards the hallway I came from. I watched him go in curiosity then turned to the tiger still biting my shoulder. Gently I my arm and ¡®grabbed¡¯ the tiger, careful not to use too much force on it and brought it down to my foot, where I promptly took my wet boot off and pushed the tiger to my toes where the blood was coming out. As if starved the tiger rapidly began licking the wound, its spiky tongue scraping against my flesh but failing to rip it off like a normal one would. Taking out the skinning knife I carefully sliced open my palm and lifted it up to the birds rapidly pecking my head. Entranced they instantly flapped to my head and stuck their beaks in the wound. Quickly the little birds, which were no bigger than finches, lost their sickly extra appendages and gained a soft glow with a gentle breeze. Flapping and tweeting with tinkling laughter they flew around my head, then into the hallway after the rat. All that was left was the tiger still licking up the blood from my foot- which felt strangely pleasing- and the two injured wolves, one gold and the other green. Looking at my palm I blinked in surprise at the closed wound and then cut it open again and held it out to the wolves gnawing my waist. Like puppies they let go and crowded my hand, lapping up the blood flowing from it. I yawned and noted myself getting somewhat light headed. Probably from lack of blood. ¡°These peasants should worship us for feeding them!¡± ¡°Aw~ They¡¯re so cu~te~ *giggle* Drink up little ones~¡± The wolves showed changes first, reverting to pure appearances and howling in delight before running off towards the altar. I checked my palm again and sure enough the wound was healed without a scar. Turning to the tiger I found light slowly returning to its body, the random limbs slowly shrinking into its body. Somewhat light-headed I yawned again and held my hand infront of my head, curiously watching as it trembled due to my qualities. Half a minute later I was considerably light headed and the tiger finally stopped drinking my blood, shining with all its glory as it bashfully turned its head away. *ting~ Chapter -32 | Regina Supralux CHANGES: Reduced all normal stat focus by half.

I glanced the update notices before swiping them away. Looking at the tiger I raised an eyebrow and stifled a yawn, ¡°Shall we get going¡­?¡± I asked with a sigh, then stood up while slowly while stretching. Then I lazily made my way to the spirit altar, the tiger following close behind me. After wading through the river I reached the altar and the spirits excitedly danced around me as I put my finger on the depression, instantly laughter resounded in my head, [ Welcome back~ Welcome back~ ] I smiled wryly and stifled another yawn. ¡°Good to be back. Am I strong enough now?¡± [ Yes~ *giggle* You are finally strong enough~ Tell me~ Tell me~ Do you want to be a spiritmancer? ] *ting~

This class is one told in legends in the modern age as it has long since died out with the destruction of its country of origin now replaced with a vast expanse of desert. Spiritmancers were figures that resided in all levels of of society, whether it be on the battlefield where they summoned giant ethereal beings capable of fighting battalions; in the darkness of night as a stealthy assassin; or as the humble messenger delivering letters. They were powerful and diverse, with just as many paths open to them as a normal mage. They excell in summoning, bonding, and controlling beings from the spiritual plane while giving them solid form. They were attuned with all the elements of the world, and the stronger their affinities the stronger their spirits. When not in material form the spirits bonded by the spiritmancer shroud their body like armor, increasing their stats passively; making them stronger than normal soldiers. However spirits are also their constant companions, sharing the warmth of eachothers souls and life. Spirits who are treated badly will not treat you well in return!

I blinked in surprise and read the new quest window. The heck is this name? It¡¯s blacked out? The girl in my head pouted, ¡°They dare withhold information from us!¡± I shrugged my shoulders, ¡°I accept.¡± I looked the tiger spirit in the eye, ¡°How do I summon you?¡± She gestured to the altar, and I looked back and put my finger in the depression again. [ Mister~ Mister~ To summon one of us simply recite the chant that we¡¯ll send to you~ ] Suddenly information was poured into my head and I desperately kept my finger on the depression until it ended. [ Did you get it~ Did you get it~ ] I nodded and sorted through the ¡®chants¡¯ added to my memory, then placed my hands on the tiger spirit and started chanting- well more like humming. It was closer to creating a certain frequency with my mana then warping it slightly through the plane where a spirit on the other side would find it and be summoned, the second part was feeding the small spirit enough of my mana in order for it to create a body. Since the tiger was already on the material plane- partially- all I had to do was pull the rest of the spirit through the gap and feed her a bit more mana so she could reform her body properly. Finishing prepping my mana I let it flow into her and pulled. With a gentle snap a regal presence slammed into me, my body shaking as it passed over me and the light from the tiger amplified. Gently I felt a warm, large, furry humanoid body embracing me and licking my face.*ting~

The light faded and a naked golden tigress woman was embracing me, her face the same from before becoming humanoid. Her body was covered in fur which hid her privates and nipples well enough, and a thick tail curled lazily behind her large frame. Gently she licked my face again, the spikes on her tongue gently scraping across my skin. *ting~

¡°Thank you, Ijus.¡± Regina gave me one last lick and gently separated from me. I stared blankly at her for a moment, then promptly had to stifle a yawn; earning me a chuckle from her. She scooted up beside me and pulled me so my head was resting on her soft thighs. ¡°Rest for now, explanations can wait til you are refreshed.¡± I shrugged my shoulders and let myself sink into her fur, embracing the warm darkness with the furs on her hand running through my hair. Chapter -33 | Spirit Ranks Gradually I awoke from my peaceful slumber, clinging onto the last fragments of scattered dreams as someone lovingly stroked my head. Sleepily I opened my eyes and was met with Regina smiling down at me. ¡°Good Morning, Ijus.¡± I didn¡¯t know tiger¡¯s could smile like that. ¡°Good morning.¡± ¡°Aha~ Her lap is so warm~¡± the phantom woman held herself and reveled in the soft fur pushing against the back of my head. Looking around I found myself in the same small alcove, the spirit altar sitting in the corner, many-colored spirits flying about with tinkling laughter. Recalling what happened yesterday I yawned and sat up, then raised an eyebrow at Regina; who in turn happily smirked while trying to fix my bedhead with her claws. The girl in me- whom I have decided to name pride- nodded in satisfaction; ¡°She¡¯ll make a good servant.¡± ¡°So,¡± I organized my thoughts, ¡°What can you tell me about my new class? And while were at it, what are spirits exactly?¡± Regina chuckled, ¡°Straight to the point aren¡¯t we?¡± She cutely tilted her head and royally gathered herself. ¡°Let¡¯s start with spirits. A spirit is the embodiment of an element and personality, not to be confused with elementals which, in pure form, are mindless manifestations. There are several ranks of spirits, with each higher rank gaining more and more individuality. The bottom rank is ¡®World¡¯ spirits- which are generally hiveminds. They are located everywhere an element exists, even in sparse amounts. This is important as they are not located solely in the spirit plane-which we¡¯ll get to later- and cannot be summoned, however,¡± She nods towards the altar, ¡°Altars like this one allow people to communicate with them and generally are used to ease the connection to the spirit plane through them.¡± She ponders a bit, ¡°They are the most numerous, and also the weakest when alone. However they are far from useless. For spiritmancer¡¯s like you they can alter physical phenomena easily if you gather enough of them, and for a low cost at that. Since they are naturally in the world, you need not summon them. However you do need the corresponding skill; which if we¡¯re lucky there should be one in this ruin.¡± She took a breath as I gathered my thoughts then motioned her to continue. ¡°The next rank is ¡®Commoner¡¯, they are world spirits who gained a semblance of individuality, and no longer are a sole hivemind. Occasionally some gain bodies in the material world naturally, but most of them stay in clusters inside the spirit world while waiting to be summoned. The next rank above that is ¡®Yeoman¡¯, slightly stronger than Commoner spirits they mainly focus on support as their stats don¡¯t allow them to fight enemies on par with their summoner. These, like all the ranks successively above it, is less common than the rank below them. The next is ¡®Soldier¡¯, these spirits near the strength of their summoner in some stats, but still nowhere near as powerful. After that is ¡®Knight¡¯, which reach or slightly surpass their master in one stat and tend to have more powerful combat abilities, whether in magic or merely physical.¡± She looked up at the roof, ¡°The next rank is ¡®Noble¡¯, which are stronger than knights as they might reach their summoners level in two stats. After that is my rank; ¡®Queen¡¯.¡± ¡°Queen?¡± I raised an eyebrow, ¡°No king rank?¡± Regina smiled wryly, ¡°All spirits are female.¡± She coughed slightly into her fist, ¡°Moving on. Queen rank tend to meet their summoners power in three or more stats, and often surpass them in at least one. However spirits cannot become queen class normally, first they would have to gain a ¡®Hero¡¯ trait, which would specialize them and allow them to evolve. And above that¡­¡± She sighed with longing in her eyes, ¡°...The rank Empress. Few spirits have ever reached this rank, and the ones who have have never made the requirements to get to the level known. And above even that is the rank of Sovereign, of which there is only one spirit, but not much is known about them.¡± Gathering herself she continued, ¡°Now onto the actual mechanics; Spirits higher than rank commoner cannot enter the material world by themselves. As such they require summoners to pull them through the veil and supply them mana to create their bodies. Each spirit above commoner is unique in their own way, often having very different skills, traits, and or perks. However it should be noted that summoning a spirit of a higher rank does not mean it will be massively more powerful than you, besides their skills, traits, and perks, a summoned spirit¡¯s strength is in relation to their summoner, unlike fiends that are separate entities. If you have weak strength, the spirit- even if it is a strength focused spirit- will have weak strength as well. This makes focusing on the spirit¡¯s skills and such more important than their actual stats. Your needs will be met by the spirit you summon at the time, that or your desires.¡± My eyes had been following her tail for some time now, and I shook myself to pay attention as she lightly glared at me. ¡°Anyway. The spiritmancer class focuses on invoking, summoning, and bonding with spirits of various types. Right now you only have the skills for summoning and bonding, so you¡¯ll have to find others to actually get into the depths of what you can do with spirits. Oh and before I forget, your affinities also play a part in the strength of the spirits you summon. The higher your affinity the higher rank spirits you can summon of that type.¡±If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°Oh?¡± My eyes glittered curiously, ¡°What level of affinities do the different ranks match?¡± She smiled wryly, ¡°You¡¯re lucky in this case. I¡¯ve never felt someone whose affinities were so potent, but generally to summon a commoner you¡¯d need somewhere from 1 to 5%, yeoman would take six to twenty. Soldier takes 21 to 30, knight 31 to 45%, Noble 50 to 80%, and queen is above 81%. As for empress¡­ you¡¯d probably have to have over 100% affinity to a specific element, and that is next to impossible. For the sovereign herself...¡± She shook her head, ¡°The minimum would probably be 100% in every element.¡± Well guess I¡¯m not summoning her anytime soon. ¡°Hmph! She dare sit outside of our reach!¡± ¡°Can we cut her?¡± ¡°Anyway, what about you?¡± I recalled the percentages, ¡°You surpass me in three stats and come close in one. And that is without analyzing your Charisma which seems to be separate.¡± Regina smiled and puffed her chest out proudly, ¡°I am one of the most powerful Queen rank spirits, and can proudly say my percentages are close to an empress.¡± I smiled wryly, ¡°And how did you end up as a corrupted spirit?¡± Her smile disappeared and a weight seemed to settle on her furry shoulders. ¡°To explain that¡­ I guess I should first tell you what this ruin is, and its significance.¡± Fuck. ¡°This ruin was originally named the final sanctum of Hypolis, city of spiritmancers, located under the city itself. The country was highly prosperous, and was the pinnacle of all things related to spirits; as such it had¡­ some vile researchers common everywhere.¡± A solemn expression flowed across her face. ¡°A group of them used the massive amounts of mana to summon a fiend, then create a spirit using its body as a base. Successful in doing it they somehow managed to empower the spirit and cause it to mutate. After that¡­ well I was cut off from my summoner at the time and the city core broke down with rampant spirit energy, mutating and weakening all spirits in the country while the mutated thing laid waste to the whole land. Only those who were in the protected ruin survived the initial attack, but their spirits were cut off from them and mutated, then turned on their former summoners in insanity and slaughtered them. Even I am no different, and only managed to escape the initial outburst of mutated energy while trying to flee back into the spirit world... However the result is as you see¡­¡± ¡°You only partially desummoned yourself before you were locked inplace by the energy.¡± I sighed and frowned, ¡°Is this ruin still threatening to mutate you?¡± She shook her head sadly, ¡°All that remains of the initial energy has long since faded. Now only the corrupted spirits remain here. Maybe a few mutant ones deeper in the ruin.¡± Her face twisted in agony as she looked at me, ¡°Ijus, no- master, I beg of you to free all the spirits you can in this dungeon. If you do, I will offer everything I have to you.¡± *ting~

-------- End of Arc 4 Chapter -34 | Flisa Vohd I read over the quest window and sighed, ¡°I¡¯ll do my best, but we need to prepare first.¡± Regina straightened her back diplomatically and wore a serious expression, ¡°What do we need?¡± ¡°Hmph, We? This girl should be licking our feet!¡± The girl in my head screamed in frustration, while the woman seemed to salivating; ¡°He~y He~y were going to cut people soon right~?¡± Raising a finger I started listing points, ¡°First, we have no healer or crowd control. While both of us can deal out enough damage, neither of us can heal. So I¡¯ll need to summon another spirit to help with that. Also I am guessing your attacks are purely light- even with your noble phantasm- which means some of the creatures will simply be immune to your attacks. While I can deal with both light and wind, that doesn¡¯t mean a spirit can¡¯t have both attributes; or am I wrong?¡± Regina frowned, ¡°It is possible. After all the sovereign is believed to have all the main elements, but having more than one is extremely rare.¡± ¡°Nonetheless,¡± I continued while predicting all the scenario¡¯s I could think of, ¡°We should still prepare for it. It is better to be ready for something that never happens than to be helpless for something that does.¡± I sighed and looked at her, ¡°Is there anyway to increase the power of the spirit summoned?¡± Regina nodded, ¡°Yes, but it requires blood. Luckily we have an altar or else we wouldn¡¯t be able to do it. Also...¡± She shifted hesitantly, ¡°The power you give the spirit will not remain unless you form a bond with it.¡± ¡°That is fine, we just need to reach an agreement.¡± I said and crawled over to the altar, ¡°Now tell me how to do this ritual.¡± She sighed and nodded, ¡°It is like a normal spirit summoning, except you are using the altar as a conduit and your blood as a catalyst.¡± I took out my skinning knife and cut my hand open, letting the blood dribble down onto the altar a bit before I started to hum and attune the frequency of my mana. A second later energy started crackling through my spilled blood as the altar trembled lightly. Finished attuning my mana I pushed it through the altar and penetrated the veil to the spirit plane. Come. I closed my eyes and focused on relaying my requirements and intentions. Serve me. Gently I felt a tug on the other end and started pulling- but to my surprise the spirit on the other hand started to climb the strand, pullings itself along and emerging into the world. Instantly my mana started to get sucked up. My blood crackled and lifted off the altar, even go so far as to gently leak out into the air and form a small orb that warped and twisted the space around it. My eyes widened in shock as I felt a familiar presence gently waft into me, the first presence to ever truly embrace me, ¡°...Flysa¡­?¡± My mana kept churning out of my body, but I barely noticed it as a the being infront of me finally took form. Dozens of brown unpolished rocks formed a loose, floating core surrounded by constantly warping space, as if tearing the fabric of reality to fly. *ting~

¡°Master~¡± The ball of rocks affectionately rubbed up against me and a stupid grin spread across my face as I pulled her into my hands. ¡°I-Ijus!¡± Regina stared at Flysa- or Fl¡¯isa now- in amazement, ¡°W-what is...?¡± Fl¡¯isa¡¯s focus shifted to Regina and happiness poured off her body, ¡°I am master¡¯s protection~¡± She said with her strangely echoing yet warm voice. Regina looked between me and her in confusion, ¡°U-um, is she just eccentric or¡­¡± Confusion splayed across her features. ¡°We met in another world.¡± I answered simply, stroking the soft barrier of space that surrounded her core. ¡°Eh?¡± Regina¡¯s eyes widened, ¡°Ijus, you¡¯re a traveler!?¡± She then realized something else, ¡°That would mean this spirit is a traveler as well?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if Fl¡¯isa can be considered a traveler, but that is what I am.¡± I answered while smiling sillily at Fl¡¯isa¡¯s new purr; the space around her body vibrating in comfort. ¡°Then¡­ How long have you been in this world?¡± She asked curiously. I blinked and pulled up the clock on my HUD, which it displayed the irl time I have been playing was five hours, while the time in game was over 20. Huh, 1 to 4 ratio. ¡°Approximately twenty hours now.¡± Regina looked at me in blank amazement, ¡°U-um, can I ask for your level?¡± I smirked at her, ¡°It¡¯s only thirteen.¡± She blinked in surprise, checked her own body for a moment, looked back at me with a questioning expression; ¡°The power this body has from you is at least from someone with a level over forty.¡± I smiled wryly, ¡°My stats are kind of bloated.¡± She raised an eyebrow and I shrugged in response. ¡°My bonuses per level are rather high.¡± ¡°I see.¡± She then shrugged with a sigh, then returned her questioning glance to Flysa. ¡°Am¡­ Am I mistaken or does she have both high earth and high darkness attributes?¡± ¡°High attributes?¡± Regina sighed, ¡°Yes. Each element has multiple specializations; and from what I can sense she doesn¡¯t only have two elements, but both of them are high types.¡± I nodded, ¡°Yeah she does.¡± I turned to Flysa¡¯s status window again and looked at her skills, a grin spreading across my face, ¡°And she fits both the healing and crowd control types we needed.¡± However what exaclty is my status at the moment? Curiously I brought it up.

A large improvement from when I was level two, though my skills simply aren¡¯t up to par. I would like to get both Polearm and Sword mastery up to proficient, if not advanced. I am probably going to have to grind them up, which is going to be tedious in its own right. Luckily they have been leveling up every battle in order to match my actual technique. I will also have to get my class skills higher as well, I should probably summon a party of different elemental spirits in order to both level up and help with this dungeon. Nodding to myself I went back to the altar, I wasn¡¯t going to blood summon this time but more party members would be a gift I won¡¯t refuse. Chapter -35 | Timeskip Notes: Reduced stat gains from skills down to 1 per level Oh, I also changed some mechanics for the spiritmancer class, specifically he cannot have spirits out all the time and needs mana to ¡®awaken¡¯ them and maintain their form. Notes 2: I grew bored of the dungeon, so here¡¯s a timeskip. ----------------- Biting cold wind whipped across the empty desert nightscape, bringing with it a vengeful frost that never froze the sand. Not that it stopped my skin from getting frostbite. I grumbled in annoyance. ¡°Stupid weather! Daring to harm our glorious body!¡± ¡°Can we cut it?¡± The girl and woman in my head glared around and drooled respectively. Grunting in annoyance I shifted my foot so it didn¡¯t immediately sink into the bottomless sand. Damn it, I wish I had snowshoes¡­ sandshoes? I shook my head and continued determinedly striding through the desert night. Rising over a sand dune I spotted a small legion of campfires in the distance, and frowned while looking over at them. More goblins? I haven¡¯t seen any since I escaped the ruin. Quickly I brought up my status to make sure everything was optimal.

My health was down three, but that shouldn¡¯t be much of a problem with my bloated stats. Well hopefully these won¡¯t be goblins, and even if they are I should be able to manage. On top of that I¡¯m going to need food¡­ ¡°Then cut them! Cut them~!¡± ¡°Hmph! These miscreants should offer us their lives no matter their race!¡±If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. I sighed and ignored the voices while pondering whether to approach the campfires. Finally, after several moments of indecision, I shrugged and started walking closer. Gathering more information won¡¯t hurt. While diligently walking and keeping an eye on my surroundings I took a quick glance at my skill list.
Polearm Mastery Proficient Lv2 Increase proficiency and damage dealt with polearms.
Sword Mastery Proficient Lv3 Increases proficiency and damage dealt with swords
Final Stand Beginner Lv2 When in extreme danger all stats are boosted temporarily.
First Aid Beginner Lv9 Gives minor buffs to any type of healing.
Auditory Perception Beginner Lv6 Locate things using sound.
Summon Spirit Beginner Lv4 Summon a spirit from the spirit plane. Increases abilities of spirit summoned.
Bond Spirit Beginner Lv5 Bond a spirit you have summoned. This allows you to bring them forth much quicker and prevents them from fully returning to the spirit plane. When not materialized they boost your stats.
Materialize Spirit Beginner Lv6 Materialize a bound spirit and give its body stats according to your own.
Overcharge Spirit Beginner Lv2 Temporarily increase the parameters of a spirit you have summoned by overfeeding it mana. This can have adverse effects if used for too long.
Spirit Soul Bind Beginner Lv1 Bind a spirit even more strongly to your soul. Death is not able to separate you from spirits bound this way.
I sighed in disappointment, definitely not the level I want them to be at. ¡°Hmph, they should level faster for us.¡± ¡°Fufu, at least they help us cut things!~¡± And I definitely do not have the amount of skills I would like for surviving on my own. My proficiencies will help with that, but it would still be easier if I had class trainers available. Closing the window I quietly searched the surrounding sands for sentries before slowly creeping my way up the dune that would give me view to the fires. Suspiciously the night was silent besides the wind and the faint crackling, absent of the clamour of voices and sounds that would accompany life. Frowning I reached the top of the tall dune and peeked over, instantly wrinkling my nose in disgust as the metallic stench of blood and burnt flesh penetrated my poor nostrils. Looking down I found the remains of what was probably some armies camp, the randomly burning pyres illuminating the blood-soaked, corpse-strewn sands along with several hulking shadows that were happily munching on the remains of humanoid soldiers, cold metal and all. Quelling my twitching eyebrow I looked at the beasts in annoyance, these things again? I don¡¯t even remember what the system called them. ¡°Not that it matters! They should bow before us!¡± ¡°Cut~ Them! Cut~ Them!¡± Quietly I observed the monsters, debating on my future options. On one hand the beasts should be near my current level, on the other hand there is seven of them. Although there is space inbetween them¡­ The beast closest to me sniffed the air and looked in my direction, eliciting a tired sigh from me. There goes the element of surprise. ¡°Cut them~ Cut them~¡± Not even roaring the beast bolted towards me quickly covering the sixty odd meters between us. Gently I retreated back down the dune, giving up the advantage of high ground for blindness of the other beasts. Without a single care the beast barreled over the top of the dune and started crashing down towards me. Instantly I summoned Raphael and slid up to the side while thrusting, narrowly avoiding the beast¡¯s arm and leaving a long gash in its side that was severely widened by Raphael¡¯s five after images. The beast grunted in pain and its tail flew out to hit me on the pass by, which I simply bent my body to avoid. Skidding down the down it growled in frustration and rapidly started clawing its way upwards. Switching Raphael for Ariel I dashed down to meet it, flowing around its gigantic fist and thrusting the tip of Ariel into the beast¡¯s exposed throat. Damn it, I narrowed my eyes and rolled to the side as it pummeled the ground I was at a moment before. ¡°Tsk.¡± The neck is too thick. Not giving the beast a chance to recover I jumped forward and hit the ground, knees bent, to avoid the wildly swung fist, then switch Ariel with Raphael and pierced the beast¡¯s heart. The beast coughed up blood and tried to crush me in a bear hug, which I promptly avoided by desummoning Raphael and rolling under its impressive manhood, then avoiding the whipping tail as it hopelessly struggled to land one blow before its death. Retreating a safe distance I waited a little while as the beast collapsed, then *ting~

Chapter -36 | Time jump. Long one. Messed with the status window a ton, it is now much different than before. Also I changed the entire plot again. If you don¡¯t like it then leave. Also¡­ well you¡¯ll find out quick enough. ---------------------------------- 1000 Years After Previous Chapter¡­ ¡°Fuck.¡± I muttered under my breath as I looked at the spaceship esque room around me. The small silver cabin lacked any doors or windows, and the entire floor was just a big mattress. ¡ºWelcome to the room of reincarnation-¡» Wonder where I heard that before. Though what was I doing before I came here? ¡ºSince you fell from a higher plane into a lower plane, you get the option of a single special skill as a bonus. Please select from this list;¡» : Status Management ...There¡¯s only one skill here. I sighed and pressured my pale forehead with my thumbs. ¡°Whatever,¡± I leaned back, ¡°I¡¯m sick and tired of being summoned around randomly; Select Status Management.¡± ¡ºStatus Management selected. Choose your lifestyle and preferences. You can start life from a baby, or any age. The location and family can be selected.¡» ¡°Ye, Ye, I know the drill.¡± Starting as a baby has its benefits but right now I just want to enjoy life. ¡°Make me 16 years old, send me to a place where it is easy for me to level up. Besides that I don¡¯t really care.¡± ¡ºUnderstood. Enjoy your ne-¡» ¡°Wait.¡± I stopped the reincarnation system as a grin slowly spread across my face. ¡°Can you erase my memories?¡± ¡ºIt is possible.¡» I laughed, a thousand years of reincarnating over and over again grow dull after all. ¡°Take away all physical memories and leave me with my instinct, maybe language as well.¡± ¡ºGranted. All other parameters have been randomized. Goodbye, Jiin.¡» ----------- I woke up in a daze, blearily capturing the humble forest surroundings as I sat up and brought a pale sweaty palm to my head. Blinking away the blur in my vision I looked down at my hand. My skin was slightly tan, soft and delicate like a newborn¡¯s and lacking the callouses that come from hard work. I clenched my fist a few times as I randomly tried to recall information. Though, it doesn¡¯t seem I have any solid memories. But I can still recall information. ¡°Amnesia?¡± I pondered my scenario for a while when suddenly hit by an urge, ¡°Status.¡± *ping~! : Name- Jiin Fallwind : Race- Diablo (D) : Gender- Male : Level- 1 : Status- Strength E(31) / Constitution E(29) / Agility D(45) / Spirit D(41) / Fortitude D(62) / Dexterity D(63) : Skills- [Status Management Lv1] ¡°Huh.¡± Without realizing it a stupid voice leaked out as I poked my finger into the transparent panel infront of me. ¡°I wonder what status management does?¡± *Ping~! : Status Management Lv1 (1/10) - Allows you to change points in your status. Stats can be converted from one unit to the next. Only existing skills and stats can be manipulated. ¡°Hoh~¡± So I could give one stat all the power and neglect the others if I so wished? I smiled slightly before sighing and standing up, briefly taking note of the linen pants and shirt I was wearing. Soft leather shoes also covered my feet, and around my neck hung a simple leather cord with a polished grey stone hanging from the necklace. Thumbing the rock I pondered its significance. Well, for now I don¡¯t remember anything in particular so it should be fine. Rather- I rubbed a piece of my straight dark brown hair between my fingers, then felt the two small horns on my forehead. Am I demon of some sort? Well my status does say Diablo¡­ Umu, I¡¯m also level 1, shouldn¡¯t it be higher if I lived before now? Also what is this (D) after my race? I sighed and looked around my surroundings. First things first- I have to grow more powerful. For that I should increase my level. To raise my level I need to hunt, ¡°So shall we search for something to kill?¡± >----< A few minutes of walking and I have come across my first opponent. ¡°Buruburu¡­¡± A rock type monster that moves exceedingly slowly, similar to a turtle with six legs and crab-like head. When I stare at it for a while a message appears above its head.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. : Rock Crawler (E) Lv8 Carefully I approach it while opening my status, then transferring 10 points from both agility and spirit and 20 points from fortitude and dexterity into strength, changing the rank into C. The rock crawler seems to be blind as well, as even though I approached it it didn¡¯t react and was calmly munching on grass. Focusing I approach in one step and swing my hand down in a karate chop- -*CRACK-- And the rock crawler gave a silent scream as its shell burst into pieces, killing it in one blow. > Successfully subjugated Rock Crawler x1 > Level up! You are now level 2 > A new skill can be chosen: : Experience Boost Lv1 : Strength Boost Lv1 : Status Management Lv2 ¡°Select experience boost level one.¡± I answered without hesitation. Growth is always better in the long run. > Experience Boost Lv1 added to skills. Sighing I moved the points back into the skill slots I had previously and looked over my status. : Name- Jiin Fallwind : Race- Diablo (D) : Gender- Male : Level- 2 : Status- Strength E(32) / Constitution E(30) / Agility D(46) / Spirit D(42) / Fortitude D(63) / Dexterity D(64) : Skills- [Experience Boost Lv1] / [Status Management Lv1] So every stat grew by one point. It will be awhile til all my stats rank up on their own. For now though I should continue to hunt and find food. I looked at the rock crawler corpse and concluded that it has nowhere near enough meat to feed me. Well whatever, it is good as experience fodder. >----< *Ping~! > You have subjugated Rock Crawler x6 > Level up! X3 > You are now level 5 > Three new skills can be chosen: : Strength Boost Lv1 : Agility Boost Lv1 : Constitution Boost Lv1 : Spirit Boost Lv1 : Status Management Lv2 Sighing I stood up and converted my status points back to their basic values before turning my attention to the new skills. So I can gain one every level? That¡¯s a bit overpowered. Well no matter. ¡°Select Spirit Boost, Strength Boost, and Status Management Lv2.¡± > Selected Spirit Boost Lv1 > Due to the boost you have received a skill - Neutral Magic Lv1 > Selected Strength Boost Lv1 > Selected Status Management Lv2 ¡°Hoh~¡± My eyes glimmered as I looked over the notifications. ¡°So upgrading skills can unlock others?¡± However Status Management didn¡¯t unlock anything. Unfortunate. Well might as well check the descriptions. : Neutral Magic Lv1 (1/10) - A type of magic without an attribute, and relatively weak. Level one; Basic step : Spirit Boost Lv1 (---) - Increases the effectiveness of the spirit stat by 5% : Strength Boost Lv1 (---) - Increases the effectiveness of the strength stat by 5% : Status Management Lv2 (13/20) - Allows you to change points in your status. Stats can be converted from one unit to the next. Only existing skills and stats can be manipulated. Skills and stats of allies can be manipulated and exchanged. So I can manipulate the status of allies now? If I continue to level this skill will I be able to steal the abilities of my opponents? I quickly wiped the small grin from my face, I shouldn¡¯t be too happy about depriving my enemies after all. ¡°Yip! Yip!¡± Blinking at the noise I turned to find a group of small red puppy-sized wolves growling and yipping at me. :Little red Wolf (E) Lv18 ¡°Cute¡­¡± I muttered right before the six little bastards charged me, one of them even spitting a small candle-like fireball I quickly avoided. Well, they attacked me so I guess there is no choice. Steadying myself on my back leg my front leg lunged outwards and kicked two of the puppies in the head, knocking the surprisingly heavy things back a couple meters. Unfortunately it didn¡¯t kill them. Jumping back to avoid the pincer attack of the remaining four I quickly manipulated my status and moved points from spirit and fortitude into agility and strength, closed my status and kicked out, successfully snapping one¡¯s neck and dazing another. Putting pressure into my standing leg I jumped backwards and avoided the little fangs of the wolves, grabbing two of the as I flipped and crushing their necks in my hands before dropping them. Trace amounts of fear could be seen in their little eyes, but the three remaining ones charged me anyway. Taking a breath I attacked continuously with my feet, killing the remaining wolves within a minute. *Ping~! > You have subjugated Little Red Wolf x6 > Level up! x7 > You are now level 12 > Six new skills can be chosen: : Strength Boost Lv2 : Agility Boost Lv1 | Agility Boost Lv2 : Constitution Boost Lv1 : Fortitude Boost Lv1 : Dexterity Boost Lv1 : Close Quarters Combat Lv1 : Bare Hand Mastery Lv1 | Bare Hand Mastery Lv2 I quickly looked over the updates and raised an eyebrow, six new skills? Not seven? So the amount decreases as my level grows or is it simply that six is the limit I can gain at once? Well no matter, ¡°Select Bare hand Mastery Lv2, Close Quarters Combat, Dexterity Boost, and Agility Boost lv2.¡± > Acquired Bare Hand Mastery Lv2 > Acquired Close Quarters Combat Lv1 -> Due to gaining a skill another skill has been acquired: Physical Prowess Lv1 > Acquired Dexterity Boost Lv1 -> Due to several skills another skill has been acquired: Precision Lv1 > Acquired Agility Boost Lv2 -> Due to several skills another skill has been acquired: Swiftness Lv1 Unfortunately experience boost or Status Management¡¯s level up isn¡¯t there. I sighed and stretched, then looked down at the six little corpses around me, a tang of guilt licking my heart as I gathered up the corpses and started to look for a place to start a fire.
