‘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. We were all stunned, since everyone who came so far didn’t even know that they were now sharing a mind with someone. Yet, this g
I took a tiny scoop of my cherry flavoured ice cream as I read a manga on my phone. I received a message from Ken Miyamura – My Friend, asking me if I would be coming to school, to which I obviously replied with a no. Surprisingly he told me that'd he'd come to where I was. I was surprised that he felt like playing hooky today. He said he would be coming along with someone, so I expected it to be Manyuda Manabu, but boy did he surprise me. He came with Maya instead, which sort of put me in a weird spot. I had confessed to her earlier on, but she refused me and ever since I hadn't been able to talk to her or any girls for that matter. Except maybe Akane-chan. Ken told me that she forced him to let her come with, and threatened to expose us if he didn't. Of course, I'm certain she was joking, but Ken tended to fall for such tricks easily. "Hey, don't you think it's a bit weird?" She asked, sucking on her banana strawberry milkshake "Huh? What is?" Ken a
Day 1'Ow… my head hurts like hell! I didn't imagine getting shot would be so damned painful. Damn, now I guess I'm going to die.'…'… huh? It doesn't hurt anymore? What happened? Last thing I remember I was at the ice cream parlor with Ken and Maya. Yeah, some random dude just came in there and started shooting. Ah. That's right! I got shot, didn't I? Well that was anti-climactic. I always said I wanted to go out with a bang, I didn't mean it literally though.'It was a bit dark and cramped. I could see faint outlines of a person walking by. I seemed to be in some sort of curtain, which meant I probably wasn't dead. Just in some hospital. If I moved, maybe they would see me and come cater for me. With that plan set, I began to shift.'Super uncomfortable in here. Let me stretch out a bit.'My body felt heavy and weak. I was tired, but I wanted to l
The 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 cry
'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.' [Item name]: Gemstone of the Ancients [Item rank]: Legendary [Description]: A gemstone left by a tribe of An

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. I used [Analyst] to see who this kind soul was.[Name: [][Species: Black Wayne Level 10/15[Status: [Tired], [Hungry], [
