[Perspective Shift: Nao]I wake up.But little has changed. I’m still numb from the news from yesterday. No, I’m not numb. I’m just suppressing the urge to do what must be done. I force myself up and-Alphon: “Not so fast kid, I still need to help Trevor. One more treatment should do.”Nao: “…Alright.”I give up my body and try to recollect my emotions again.[Perspective Shift: Alyson]Alyson: “Mmmmm, Nao?”Prisha: “Think again sweetheart.”…Oh yeah, we slept in the same bed. But I don’t remember being in…this position.Alyson: “Did you do this on purpose?”Prisha: “No, maybe you just needed someone to really hold. I for one have no issues.”Alyson: “Of course you don’t.”Before Prisha can get any ideas, I untangle our bodies and get ready for the day. The…very stressful day. Before freshening up and savoring the last moments of peace I’ll have, I take a look at Deanna. She does look a bit better. Hopefully, she’ll wake up soon. After enjoying my time getting ready for the day with
I forgot my umbrella, again. I look towards the gray sky and feel the light drizzle on my nose. I can’t help but chuckle at my forgetfulness but what else is new. I look to the other side of the street to see the smiles of my high school classmates. Even the rain can’t dim their mood. I’ll admire them for that. But only that. Nao: “There are only 2 things that could put a smile like that on my face.”I pick up the pace to my destination before the heavy rain catches me and wets my reward for survival. It takes longer than I would like but I make it to my local bookstore in time. I push open the doors and breath deep the smell of fresh new books. The only reprieve in the town for people like me. I scan the area to see only a handful of people reading or at least pretending to.Nao: “The few that are.”But that’s fine, more worlds to escape to for me. I pace around the fiction section, scanning everything hidden gem and catching titles. But none of them really pop outNao: “I need so
I blink once. Everything is okay, I’m back in my messy room and can breathe normally.I blink again. A game screen appears in front of me with my terrible stats. “Hello, Nao. Earth to human.”Nao: “W-Who said that?”“The book in your hands. Call me Arc.”I blink one more time. I’m no longer the side character in other people’s tale.Nao: “Okay, what are you and how will you benefit me?”Arc: “Forward aren’t you? I’m glad my wielder is quicker than 96. As you might have guessed, I’m a system designed to help you become the greatest mage within the multiverse.”Nao: “So I can use magic now!?”Arc: “Only when you wield me otherwise say goodbye to your magic.”Nao: “That’s inconvenient, your heavy.”The book suddenly shrinks and grows chains. Is that a….necklace?Arc: “Number 1 thought of that and enabled this function. Wear me and you can use magic easily.”I place it around my neck and down my shirt. Don’t want anyone noticing Arc. This is mine.Arc: “First order of business, let’s tak
I wake up and start to think that everything yesterday was a dream. But the slight headache and necklace assures me that things are going to get better.Nao: “It wasn’t a dream…I’m….not useless anymore.”I breathe a sigh of relieve and get dressed for new day. I place my school books in my bag and get ready for school. Through my door and then down stairs. Nao: “See you mom, I’ll eat school breakfast today.”Nell: “Wait.”I stop at the front and turn back around to see mom still making food in the kitchen.Nell: “Can you check on Alyson? She’s usually up early, I hope everything is alright.”Nao: “…Okay mom, I’m sure the bit-”Nao: “-The angel is alright.”Nell: “Thank you.”I go back upstairs and knock on Alyson’s equally plain door. Nao: “Alyson!”……Nao: “Fine, I’m coming in! I don’t want to be here longer than I have to.”I open the door with a quiet creak and witness this pristine room. I always blown away by how empty this place. Aside from dolls, a bed and work related mate
Arc: “Are you sure?”Nao: “My goal hasn’t changed, this is just the next step. I can do it again.” I open the door to find my sister still in bed with workout equipment all over the place. Nao: “Really, again? I hope I won’t have to come here every day from now on.”Nao: “Wake up!” I rip the covers off of Alyson and I instantly blush. She’s wearing a sports outfit that barely covers her body and fits her so good. I instantly look away and place the covers back on.Nao: “Hell no, not her.” Alyson: “Yeah…slave…lick me…there.”Nao: “The fuc-”Nao: “Wake up Alyson, it’s time to go to school!”Alyson: “Mmmmm…”Nao: “….You good?”Alyson: “Why aren’t you…on your knees…begging for mercy?”Nao: “*Sigh*”Nao: “This is reality, not whatever sick thing you were dreaming of.”Alyson: “….*Blush*….Get out.”Don’t need to tell me twice, I leave her, shockingly more dirty, room. The less I have to deal with her the better I’ll be.I go downstairs to relay Alyson’s current condition.Nell: “Somethi
Today is the day! I wake up with a bright smile but that’s quickly turned upside by the pain.Nao: “Wholly crap!”My entire body is on fire and my head is pounding. Nao: “Arc?”Arc: “That happens when you put a lot of points into your stats. You’ll get used to it.”Nao: “It was only 4!”Arc: “4 is a lot when forcing the body to permanently improve. Imprinting the shapeshift spell onto your mind worsens the situation.” My smile returns with the thought that I can change my body freely now. I hurry to swap out acid blast for shape shift. Nao: “So, how do I do it.”Arc: “This is your first time so don’t go straight to 6 feet or make drastic changes.”Nao: “Don’t worry, I still need to live here. I can’t explain rapid changes to my mom. I’ll craft my body into a greek god over months and blame my workouts and growth spurts.”Arc: “Alright, just think about how you would like your body to change.”I close my eyes and think of a less pudgy face, a nice chin and one-inch height growth. 5’
Nao: “Huh, yes. You want me to recount what happened?”ScanSever:Strength: 20Endurance: 23Intelligence: 14Charisma: 10Agility: 18Holy, he’s way above my level. I…can’t get away from this.Sever: “Good, you know how this goes. Do it.”Nao: “Well he…beat me up behind the school and then left with his friends. I never saw him after that.”Sever: “You look fine despite being beaten up by 3 people.”Nao: “I heal fast and my sister told them not to hit my face or anywhere noticeable. So most of the damage is scattered around my body.”Sever: “I see, mind if I look?”Nao: “Maybe not in the middle of the street. People might think you’re a…you know…”Sever: “…Agreed. Don’t worry, you’re not a suspect anyway. Have a nice day.”The man walked away and life returned to my face. I hope he sees my fear as a reason to not suspect me. My small figure might have helped this time. No one would expect that someone like me could kill three 6-foot seniors.Wait a minute, what about today? People a
