2024-10-29 19:42:56The girl walked out through a metal door that led to a cave. It was a completely different view from the laboratory. On either sides of the cave were lit torches. Not the modern kind of torches. No. I'm talking about sticks lit with fire.
The black dragon ran up her arms and rested on shoulder, leaving me on one of her palms. The girl then grabbed one of the torches, and she began walking through the cave. This led me to think to myself for a bit.
'Was it some sort of secret laboratory? Maybe I was some kind of secret project in the works. Yeah, right. Why give a secret project to a little girl? As if anyone is that dumb.'
As we walked through the cave we came to a massive area. There was a large underground lake with a hole in the ceiling which was letting in the moonlight. The lake was reflecting the moonlight, causing it to glow with a beautiful blue hue and shimmer like a gem. It was a very beautiful place but the most stunning feature was the massive crystal that was directly underneath the ceiling hole, right in the middle of the lake.
The crystal absorbed the moonlight and then dispersed it like a star, illuminating and bathing the cave in serene lunar light. The girl dropped the torch, and as soon as it made contact with the ground, the flames were extinguished.
'Weird.'
She then proceeded to move towards the lake.
'Is she going for a swim? Ou, maybe this is my chance to get a sneak peek at a naked girl's body.'
I waited for her to remove her kimono, but she didn't. She just kept on walking towards the water body. Maybe she preferred to swim with her Kimono on. Surprisingly enough, her feet didn't touch the water. I looked at the water and it didn't even ripple as she walked over it. It was like she was walking over an invisible platform. What was going on?
<<Answer. Probability of her using the skill [Air Plates] is 100%>>
'[Air Plates]? Skill? Ok, now everything is starting to sound like an RPG. Please explain what you mean by skill.'
<<Answer. A skill is an ability that allows an individual to perform a certain action. Skills are to be learnt after hard training, and are sometimes automatically obtained due to a person's class. There are various kinds of skills. Regular skills, Learnt skills, Unique Skills, Advanced Skills and Ultimate Skills>>
'Huh? I'm guessing regular skills are what a person or race is born with?'
<<Affirmative>>
'In that case learnt skills mean they can be learnt from other means. Unique skills are blessings from higher beings. Now it's left with these two. Advanced and Ultimate skills. What are those?"
<<Advanced skills are formed when regular, learnt and unique skills undergo a sort of evolution, to become more powerful>>
'I see. So it's basically a rank up for skills.'
<<Ultimate skills are the pinnacle of the skill tree. The final and most effective form of any skill>>
'Can't say I expected more for it. Wait… you mentioned some other unique skill earlier right? Evolve or something like that.'
<< [Unique skill]: Evolver>>
'Yeah! That. What does it do?'
<<This skill has the ability cause its user to adapt to its environment endlessly. User may also acquire the abilities of creatures it consumes>>
'Woah. The unique skill [Evolver] sounds good. I wonder which higher being thought to give me something like that. Ah well, I guess I'll just wreak a tiny bit of havoc once I become powerful enough like every other Isekai protagonist. Ok. Now that I think about it, this is starting to sound like some cliché Isekai anime. But, why the heck am I chicken. This is the worst of the worst. I did get unique skills. But still, what the heck?!'
<<Would you like to see your status panel?>>
'Status panel? Like a video game?'
<<Yes>>
'Um... Ok'
Suddenly, a clear screen popped up in front of me. It had my information like a character status screen.
STATUS

'It's just like a video game. I guess poultry is too low for even Rank E, huh. Wait, how's my name Hinotori now?'
<<Target was designated the name Hinotori by a being stronger than it>>
'A being stronger than me? So Hinotori is now my name forever?'
<<Negative. Target's name will change if given a name by a being stronger than it and target accepts>>
'A being stronger than me, huh? Like this girl?'
I looked at the girl once again. She had pale skin with cute red lips. Her white hair was tied into a bun, with two bangs reaching right down to her sufficiently sized chest. She wore a kimono with fire patterns all over it, as well as a silver bracelet on her left arm. I just realized that she looked sort of Asian, like a half-cast.
<<Affirmative>>
'Interesting. And what's with the blessings? I get that I have unique skills because of my blessing from the ancient goddess, but what's with that [UNKNOWN] blessing?'
<<Note. A high ranking being can grant only one Unique Skill>>
'Oh. Ok. Which explains why I have been blessed by three higher beings. So I'm guessing I got my [God's voice] skill from the Ancient goddess' blessings.'
<<Affirmative>>
'Then what about [Analyst] and [Evolver]?'
<<…>>
I let out a depressed sigh when the agent didn't respond.
'Oh? Anyway, let's test out this [Analyst] Skill again. Hopefully I don't get blocked like the last time.'
I looked at her with the intention of using the unique skill [Analyst]. Apparently it's as easy as wishing to use it, because I saw a status panel for her too.

'Oi! Oi! What's with the number of blessings she's got?! Isn't there supposed to be like only one blessing? Also, her titles are so weird and those numbers she has for her stats. Scary~'
I looked at her face once again and that confident grin of hers was now starting to give me chills. If those numbers meant what I was thinking that meant this girl was a very scary existence. And the title [Magic Prodigy] alone was reaffirming that for me.
<<It seems that the target has incurred the favor of several high ranking beings. The likelihood of target being a [Hero Candidate] is calculated to be 70%>>
'Huh? Hero Candidate? What's that?'
<< Hero Candidates are beings that possess the ability to become heroes. To become a Hero Candidate one must first receive the blessings of several high ranking beings>>
'Oh. So this girl could become a [Hero]? Cool.'
That started to put my heart at rest. Hopefully she wasn't a horrible [Hero]. I wanted to check out more, but then I realized that I couldn't see her skills.
'Hey, Agent. Where's her skill menu? Didn't you say [Analyst] can see all information about my target?'
<<Yes. The unique skill [Analyst] can observe all information about your target. Except if said target has acquired a unique skill themselves or can intentionally block access>>
My mind went back to the man from before and I got a chill. That observant gaze of his still burnt brightly in my head. That feel of death. I could feel my heart about to pop from hyperventilation, but then a wave of calm hit me and I let out a sigh.
'Let's not get as much attention as last time, eh?'
<<....>>
There was no response, so I would take it as an 'OK'. Then I changed my gaze to the black dragon who was resting on her shoulder. It seemed Karma had no interest in me as it spared no more than a second to look at me.

'I'm guessing Shiro named her already. Why doesn't she have any unique skills though? She was blessed by the [Fallen Dragon God] as well.' <<Answer. Not all High Ranking Beings are capable of granting Unique Skills>> 'For real? And a simple baby chick like me got 3 unique skills? I'm starting to feel like something bad is going to happen down the line.' The girl, Shiro said something. I looked at her face and his had a bluish shade over it. That's when I realized that the entire time I had been checking our status panels, we had reached the giant jewel. She looked at me then at Karma. There was a very adorable smile on her face. Like she was unsure of something or nervous. She stretched out her hand to touch the gem. I looked at it and [Analyst] activated. 'Looks like it works on objects too.'

Day 4 [Due to the unique skill Evolver, you have acquired the skill [Aquatic Form]] [Due to the unique skill Evolver, you have acquired the skill [Heat Resistance]] My eyes snapped open, allowing light to blind me. I blinked several times, before groaning, pain washing over me like I was just beaten by thugs. Or at least how I'd expect that to feel like. All body parts ached and I could barely move. My face felt weird being on the hard smooth surface which made my neck hurt. I decided to stand up. At first, I tried using my arms, but then I realized that I had wings for arms now, which complicated things a bit. I used my head to force myself up and sat down on my bum. My eyes took in the whole view. I was on a river bank, crystal clear water flowing behind me. In front of me, huge trees stood mightily, piercing the sky… or at least to me they were. I wasn't really big. I could hear the river gushing mightily and some insects making sounds as w

The white viper had way better stats than I did and it was a level 8, whereas I was a level 1. I get that we had the same number of skills, but why were its more attack proned and mine… adaptability-proned?Its stamina and health point were far above mine. Running now would be suicide and attempting to fight back would also be suicide. I had no options left. I was going die again and this time, there was no way to avoid it. I wanted to run. What else could I do? I had done my best, right?Just as I thought I was done for, salvation came to me in the form of a horrid screech. Both the snake and I looked up as a shadow loomed over us. A single black feather fell slowly towards us and landed right in front of me. A shadowy figure slowly descended, flapping its massive powerful wings like an angel from above, here to save me.

The viper completely ignored Black Wayne-kun and was slowly making its way towards me. Its white scales were dirtied with blood and several cuts, but that didn't seem to bother it much. I myself begun to take a few steps back, treading lightly and watching for any sudden movements from the snake.This kept up till I could feel water under my feet. I looked back for a split second and all I could see was a shallow water that became less and less shallow. The snake was getting closer by the second.'What do I do? Agent?'<<Possible solution. Run away.>>'Oh gee, what a smart idea. Wish I had thought that up! Useless agent. First you don't stop the whole soul bond thing and then you can't even come up with a proper solution for me?

Day 5 HISSS Hearing a hissing noise, I jumped out of my sleep, both literally and figuratively. A huge white viper was standing out in front of me, sticking its tongue out from time to time. 'Um… rude much?' I slowly walked back, simply glaring at the snake. I tried to assert my dominance, which in my personal opinion was a very dumb move. The snake snapped at me and I jumped out of the way, allowing it to hit the wall behind me. The whole place shook lightly and snake hissed in pain. I tried to run for the exit, but its tail came for me, sending me flying back. Its mouth was already open in wait for my arrival. Did this snake think that I was going to be its breakfast? If yes, it was insane. '[Adorable Wink]!' I winked my hardest and the snake's mouth shut and it blinked several times, shaking its head. I hit its head and fell back on my back. For a second, I wanted to stay there for a while, but I remembered the massive snake

Day 6 It was really annoying being in a position where when injured I couldn't shout otherwise I would just be inviting more monsters that would simply come and rip my head off. I looked at my blood as it trailed down from my wing onto the black crooked surface of the horned rabbit before me. This one was different from the one from before. It had both horns on opposite sides of its forehead like some kind of deer. I wanted to find a way to get out my current situation, when my other friend, another horned rabbit decided to stab my remaining wing. I closed my beak shut and grunted in immense pain. How the hell had these bunnies entered the nest without getting poisoned? I looked at their status again and they actually were poisoned. They were just ignoring the pain.

‘It’s so booooorriiiiiiiiiingggg!’I was bored out of my mind surveying the edge of the dome for enemies. It was practically a ghost town at this point. And the only thing that used to be interesting was the notifications I kept receiving from my shadows about catching bombers. So far, we found three dozen pairs of people planting the bombs.It was shocking how many people had been coerced into doing this. And I still hadn’t tracked down an actual member from the invaders. What if the invaders actually weren’t coming? What if the princess was lying about this entire thing for a completely different reason?‘This princess is giving me a headache.’‘I know right? It’s like talking to a brick wall.’‘A-An overly in-intelligent one.’‘Hey guys!’‘Ah!?’‘New guy?’‘I-I have a j-junior now?’‘What will we call him?’‘Call me Hyakkiyago.’He told us out of nowhere.

NANEK POVThe prince looked at the meal set before him. Skewered tentacles, seaweed wraps, jagged oyster shells, lunaris and so on, all in bountiful amounts. He felt like gagging from the mere scent of the food. Nanek never liked such food, and as such this was strictly removed from the meals his siblings served him regularly.This event was different. It was before the entire city and it was a meal that the goddess had chosen for this year’s feast. Him not eating it was an insult to the goddess and would make the people think less of him.He looked at his mother, the priestess, sitting blindly next to the king and being fed her meal by some of her personal assistants. She had no concern whatsoever when it came to this and he found it terrifying, since he had been told by the older generation that she hated these kinds of meals.Several years in service to the goddess must have changed her. Maybe if he spent several years trying to overcome his distaste for the meal, he would overcome

To be honest, she wasn’t expecting the princess to tell her what her final plans were, but after hearing them, she was completely stunned. For the princess to have planned all of this for just that, it was beyond her imagination.However, for something like that, she knew her father would give up his life in a heartbeat. At least, she could rest easy knowing that he died for a cause he had been fighting for all his life. Still, it hurt that she couldn’t even see his corpse even though it was delivered to them. Did they think she was so weak that she’d break down from seeing the body?She had definitely seen worse, so why wouldn’t they let her? Was this the royalty’s way of showing consideration to the Captain of the Royal Guard’s kin? If so, the royals really had no idea what people actually wanted in such situation.While swimming, a stray guppy came in front of her. Sh

King Zigruk ElrIek Sox Anon Den Yorul II waved at the people who were gazing at him admirably from outside the hall. After a considerable amount of praise appreciation and greeting, he sat down on his seat and dropped his trident.The trident floated by itself at his side. Strange enough, this weird sight was ignored by most of the onlookers. All of them except the candidates for the throne that knew the true value of the trident, all of them shocked by how carelessly their father handled it. Then again, if you were built just like the Zigruk Elriek Sox Anon Den Yorull II, you wouldn’t think too much of the trident.Once again, trumpets sounded thunderously, drawing the attention of everyone to the overly massive ship that was approaching them.

OSVETA POVThe feast hall, the biggest part of the royal palace that went unused for many years till there was an important ceremony taking place. It was so large it could take in half the number of royal family members that lived. And that was saying much given the fact that there were over a thousand of them with each being at least three times as big as the average merman.The hall was a space next to the palace grounds shrouded in hardened Atlantean styled glass to prevent any peaking or breaking. Due to the occasion, the styled glass had been removed, revealing a large beautiful platform with a marble table in a U-shape set down. The table was big enough to occupy at the very least 20 members of the Royal family.However, today, only four members sat on opposite ends, with two extra, grander seats, being reserved for the most important guests.

On the day of the Royal Feast, in the princess’ quarters, several mermaids about her size were attending to her. Brushing her hair, applying make-up, and carefully fixing ornaments in her hair. She was dressed in the most elegant lilac-coloured chiton that had silver lacings on it and a triangular pattern over at the bottom over her tail. Over her left hand, her peplos that was a whitish-blue with a similar design, but more transparent. The peplos also managed to serve as a sort of hood for her head.As the princess observed her features in the mirror, she couldn’t help but think along the likes of,‘Would Hiro like this appearance?’‘Maybe it’s too much make up for his taste?’‘Is this even enough to cover my blemishes?’Of course, Hiro was not going to be partaking in this event.

The hell did I just hear? Did she just confirm that she was the mastermind? No way, right? There was definitely no way that she did it, right? No.I couldn’t doubt the possibility of her having done that. Knowing her, it was highly likely. And from what Sunalla said, the princess didn’t like it when things happened out of her control. A surprise invasion from an enemy nation definitely doesn’t sound like having everything under her control.Still, for her to go this far just for the throne. She was the worst kind of person. They’d do anything to achieve their goal, even if it negatively affected those looking up to her for support. She was worse than scum.I had several things to tell the princess, but no one else in the room heard our conversation. The princess simply said vague things in their eyes and ears. Maybe Sunalla and Osveta would believe that princess did something like that.The problem was if they gave a shit. They’d known her for sometime now so it was possible that they

That was completely sudden and out of nowhere for me. I never imagined to hear such a thing, least of all from an old man in a city that was thousands of feet underwater. Of course, after hearing such a thing I was intrigued in finding out more, but he kicked me out with the promise of trying to find a way to Minerva for me. He stole more strands of my hair though. Turns out he didn’t need the first strand for anything. He simply wanted it for his private reasons… creepy pervert.On the way back, I could tell that the princess was beaming with excitement. I asked why, but she told me not to think too much about it. In times like this, it was really annoying not being able to read her mind. The only solution was to keep pressuring her till she spoke, but she was tight lipped. In the end, I decided to ask if she knew about Vermillion.According to her, there wasn’t any concrete text about Vermillion, but her father had once told her that there was an individual named Vermillion who came
