I was in a huge and fancy-looking bed when I woke up. The pillows were too soft and comfortable, and the blanket was made of velvet materials that were probably fit to be used by a king. The room made me look like I was a king and rich, but I was not.
But what was bothering me was how I got here. The last thing I remember was coming out from a cafe and heading to my third part-time job to pick up my salary.
I remember checking out my phone for any extra job for me on the weekends while heading to the main road. I remember one of my friends sent me a message about his grandfather needing someone to lawn his garden. I was reading the details of the job without looking at the road.
When I heard a strong honk of the truck approaching me, it was too late.
I got hit by the truck, and I saw my life flashes before me.
I died that day. I know I was. But then, how did I end up here? Shouldn't I be in a hospital? Speaking of hospitals, should I be in pain and a comatose state? I checked my whole body and saw it was unchanged. I didn't even have wounds, stitches, or any broken bones.
That's weird, right?
Usually, when you were hit by a vehicle, you would die or survive but with a scar or major injury. But in my situation, I don't have any. What's going on?
I got out of bed and saw myself in pink pajamas.
What the hell? Why am I wearing this clothing, and why should it be Pink!? I'm a guy! It should be at least red, blue, or any manly color!
Pissed, I looked around, trying to find some spare clothes but to no avail; I didn't find any but a pair of pink slippers.
Seriously? What the hell is wrong in this place? Defeated, I was forced to wear slippers and go on with the pink stuff.
I left the room I was sleeping in and saw a long narrow hall. I walked through the hall and continued to look around.
Who could afford something like this place? This place looked extremely flashy and expensive. I bet the owner must be a king or some type of ruler.
"Hello!!!" I shouted in the hall.
I waited for a response, but I didn't receive any.
"Hello? Is there anyone here?" I shouted again, making my voice echo all through the hall.
Nothing. I was replied back with a plain silence. Am I alone here? I'm not sure if I was the only one here. This place was huge just to be me.
After a few minutes in the halls and stairs, I found myself in what looked like a living room. It was a spacious living room that I thought my whole apartment would fit in there. But what bothered me was that the things in the living room looked ancient to me. I had seen so many medieval things in books and museums, and what I was looking at here was the same as what I saw there. Even if they looked old, I know they would be expensive if you sold them to any antique store.
Where exactly am I?
Suddenly, I heard a loud roar coming from outside.
What the hell was that? I rushed outside to see what was going on. When I got outside, I couldn't believe my eyes.
I was no longer on Earth because what I saw was something my old world couldn't have.
"A dragon?!" I shouted due to the fascination that I was witnessing as creatures only in fantasy-story can be seen.
Yes! That's a dragon! A real and alive dragon!!
It was huge, had green scales, and I saw it breathing fire out of its mouth. It was flying around the place I was in a circular motion.
I can't believe it. I actually seeing a real-life dragon. Wait, if I'm seeing a dragon, then doesn't that mean I was sent here? Was it due to the truck? Analyzing my situation, I must have been sent into this world. That's awesome!
I started to get excited, but that soon faded when the dragon spotted me. It soon flew to where I was, and I started to run back to the house, but the dragon, a few feet away from the ground, breathed fire and blocked my path. I then turned around and ran towards a bridge up ahead.
It was stupid, but my other paths were blocked by the fire again, and if I didn't want to die, it was either the bridge or going down that cliff that surrounded the house. I chose something that might save me.
Once I was on the bridge, I deeply regretted taking it because of my fear of heights. When I was on the bridge, the first thing I did was look down and see a raging river going downstream.
I didn't know what was going to kill me first, the dragon or the fall. I'd rather not do either because they both sound pretty painful. I was getting to the other side, but the dragon flew down and landed in front of the bridge, and my only shot was to safety. Well, looks like I'm going to be burnt to a crisp.
"Could you at least burn me to where I don't feel anything?" I asked the dragon, not really expecting a reply.
"And why would I do that? Watching you humans suffer is what makes me enjoy this."
I blinked. It actually talked!? I wish I could geek out that fact, but I'm too busy trying not to get killed. And since it can talk, I could keep it talking until I find a way out of this.
"W-why do you like watching humans suffer?"
It wasn't much, but maybe he'll go into a full monologue on his reason. I'll be crossing my fingers to hope it happens.
"It is because of the joy of watching you little insects writhe in pain. It's such a sight to behold that…"I can't believe it works!The dragon just gave a full speech on why he likes watching humans suffer. He's also adding stuff about his life. Good. With this, I can find a way out of this. Okay, If I was in another world, maybe I would have some ability that can help me, like those I read from the books I have collected. What is it call again? Status menu? Upon that thought, a menu then showed up in front of me. It worked! I got excited and took a look at what I had now. Wow, my stats are off-charts. Everything in my status menu was maxed out. The only thing that wasn't maxed out was my luck. I have extra skills called creative hands and a piece of equipment called a storage box. What the heck is a creative hand and storage box?I was hoping I could use that stat to get me out of the situation. I wonder what my level was. I checked it out too. Whoa! My level was also maxed
After looking at the menu for a while, I used another magic spell that could help me."Creative hand...How does this thing work?" I asked myself. I clicked the creative menu, and a few lists appeared under it.Cook…Sew…Build…Make…I kept on searching until I stumbled upon a very interesting word.ReplicationAhah! Replicating! Let's see what I can do with it. I tapped on it and read the explanation. .. can replicate everything you wanted to replicate, including the abilities of the things you wanted to replicate."Are you sure you want to do that?"A voice suddenly spoke to me out of nowhere, making me gasp. Someone is speaking inside my head. "Who the hell are you?" I replied to whoever was speaking inside of my mind."I'll explain later. Do you want to use replication?" "Yes!""Tell me what you want to replicate. And say it."Perfect! This is perfect! I immediately think of something that will defeat the Dragon. And when I think of someone who could stand on Dragon's fire, I
I took another look at my magic spell list and did a thorough search so that I didn't miss a single spell. After five minutes of meticulously searching, I have now confirmed that I have no offensive magic. "I told you. You weren't blessed with any offensive magic," Terissa said. "What kind of crap is that? I'm given a bunch of awesome magic spells, yet I can't have any offensive magic spells? How am I going to protect myself?" "Maybe if you come back inside the house, you'll figure something out eventually. I'm just your guide, and I don't have the power to answer you beyond my expertise," Terissa said before shutting herself down. Ugh. I have the feeling that my life here would be like a roller coaster. Ever since that dragon incident, I haven't left the manor in a while. I was afraid I'd get attacked again, so I've been cooped up in the house for almost a week. It wasn't that bad, though. Terissa mentioned that the manor has a massive library where I spend most of my time. If
I started to replicate two human bodies, one male and one female. I knew Fenrir was a wolf male and Hel was a female."Do you think these bodies are worth Fenrir and Hel?" I asked Terissa while inspecting the bodies in front of me. "Yes, as long as those bodies will withstand their magic power. It will be alright when the magic cores are planted within them," she replied. "Alright, I think the bodies are ready to be planted," I said before withdrawing two red sphere-like glowing stones. "Woah, are these rubies?""Nope. But those are the most expensive cores in this world. Now, you must replace the heart with those magic cores. Once you plant it, the cores will know what to do," Terissa said. After listening to Terissa, I immediately wore gloves and picked the scalpel to make long wounds on the chest of each body. First, I removed the heart of the woman's body and replaced it with one of two cores. As I place the magic core, it molds into a heart replicating the one I remove. After
"Lower your pride, will you?" Hel finally drilled some sense into Fenrir's head after an argument. "This human gave us a chance to live again. You should at least thank him. You're free because of him."Fenrir looked fierce. He and I went into full battle using our eyes. And in the end, he lost and sighed. The two agreed to call me a master. And I did a full study of their bodies. "I need you two to do a few things so that I'll know if something is wrong with your body. Get up."My bodyguards then got up, with Fenrir mumbling something. I give them a few orders like walking, running, and even jumping. So far, there's nothing wrong with their bodies. Although the bodies were just replicas of humans, I'm not sure if they don't have any defects. I inspect them carefully. The skin wasn't ripping, so that's a good sign. Although Fenrir's body was electrified, he didn't acquire any wounds. "Is your body hurting or something?" I asked her. "No," he answered. "That's good," I told him.
So far, so good. We've been walking for a while and still haven't encountered any enemies. This is good. If this keeps up, we'll find a town, and possibly I could see an Adventure guild there. We were currently walking through a rocky plain and hadn't found any towns or villages yet. How long are we going to keep walking? It's good that I have maxed stamina, but it gets boring and mentally tiring. I wonder how Ace and Violet are. I took a look at them, and they appeared to be fine. Since they were both strong monsters, they didn't get tired or bored and looked the same. "Say, Terissa, if these two monsters were powerful, how powerful would they be?" I asked Terissa using Telepathy. "You should try checking their stats. You'll be able to use it like what you did to the dragon," she replied in a tone like, 'Omg, are you serious? You should have done it beforehand' manner. I used my appraisal sight and almost peed when I saw their power and skills. Ace and Violet overpowered me an
The village, towns, and cities are under the protection and watchful eyes of King Lockheart. The chief told me that each nation was protected by Aristocrats or royals that each God appointed after the war, and each nation was created and established. Those titles have been passed down from generation to generation. Since we were at Lakota Nation, we were in the King's territory. I was also informed that each ruler has been at odds with each other, and sometimes they battle each other. Yeah, I better stay away from that. I'll have to look at a few spells to help me prevent getting caught in the crossfire. And also, there's another thing I want to avoid, and I want to keep my abilities to myself. If people found out how I can do the things I can do, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be used as some tool. I'll also have to ensure no one knows about Fenrir and Hel's true identity as the missing Celestial. The chief had told me the Gods of any nation don't want any other Celestials
When everything was ready, we left the village and headed to Redhorn Town, the closest town to this village. I acquired a carriage which I bought at a cheap price. It was broken, but I fixed it and upgraded it to last longer.A storage box was convenient for the horses and me since only the three of us were riding on them, and didn't weigh too much. During the trip to Redhorn, we decided to stop for the night and to prepare our dinner. "What's for our dinner?" Fenrir asked if he saw me preparing the folded table, I had pulled from the storage box. "Oven-cooked pork belly," I told him."Woah! Sounds tasty. How long will the cooking process take? I'm starving," he said. I could practically see saliva on his mouth. "I don't know. The usual pork in my world usually takes an hour to cook, but I don't know about the boar's pork here," I replied, pulling off the oven I replicated from Earth's typical oven. I upgraded it a bit, and instead of plugging it into any electric outlet, I fused
