Chapter 26: That Was Quick

[Hey Wake Up, the Chapter's Starting.]

"Ueegh?"

I woke up as I hear my Unique skill break the 4th wall, sorry that's a peak comedy already, anyway that's what happened in a week. I looked at my body that is now covered with bandages, who knows where it came from, well I am alive so all is fine I guess. I also get to have a little meeting with pops, though I would not call our first meeting very ideal...

I mean, I got scolded and all, well lesson learned, so no worries.

But that's not important right now as a notification came dinging into my ear.

Notice[ Via Unique Skill [Observe] Common Skill [Flame Charge] and [Incinerate] acquired.]

First, I got the skills I want from the wolf king(lol) which I am quite pleased about, I started to once again browse into the piled up notification in my head, but suddenly, a very strong urge to sleep attacked me that I can't even look at the additional numbers at my stats before I once again slumped on the stone bed. Well, that notification is the only important one because all of it is a warning that I am gonna die, and I'm still alive.

Breath Magic also leveled up a level, I would not expect a magic named Breath to level up that much when I use it to breathe, on the other hand, Squirt Magic elevated by four levels, becoming at level eight, as I said, don't expect a magic named breath to level up big time by using it to breath but do expect a magic named squirt to level up if you used it as a main weapon and a microphone.

Moving on, the only common skill leveled up, is the [Dynamic Vision] because I hide on the ground and use magic all the time. That's what I can analyze before I heard a not-so-monotone voice, but still somewhat mechanical one in my head.

[Oh yeah, you can once again evolve]

What? Evolving already? That was quick.

Notice[Evolution tree did not find...

God of the Undead: ??? employed evolution tree available, using the employed evolution tree...

Evolving...]

The cocoon from before appeared once again as I was enveloped by it and some moments later, a limb came out of the cocoon breaking it, coming with another and then another, and the last one finally appeared after all of my limbs came out of the cocoon, I stood up in an instant with a "hup!" sound from my cute voice, the words are more straight than before but I don't want to speak that much because it's still not perfect.

I looked at the liquid as usual and saw a beautiful girl (heh) now with thicker hair and a body that barely grew, at least I am taller than Philo by a few margins now, oh there were also yellow-colored eyes reflecting in the side of the liquid.

I checked all the things that evolved first because that's the first thing that came out whenever I evolved, this time there is no common skill that evolved nor any new skill that got acquired but the magic skills got three out of four that evolved.

Well, I am focusing on them   so that's to be expected, I am actually not comfortable being a long-range fighter because I want a more versatile front, but yeah, I laid the foundation of my physical combat system in the name of [Flame Charge] and [Martial Arts Apprentice] and I just have to build it, probably in the latter part, or the end of this Hero's Test fiasco.

Anyway, that's all that happened, of course, all the common skills that did not evolve leveled up by one, and the unique skills I have did not evolve at all.

Here look at my stats:

Name: Sophia Demiurge

HP: 75/75

Race: Human (Toddler)

Mana: 1,197

Stamina: Unlimited

[Level: 1/30

EXP: 0/2,600

Stats:

STR: 39

INT: 90

VIT: 19

AGI: 41

DEX: 54

LUK: -1]

Here are my evolved skills.

Bonfire Magic: A higher form of Torch Magic, have higher damage and greater range than its previous form.

Rock Magic: This magic skill can now be used in the offense, defense, and debuff without the restriction of its speed.

Blow Magic: Not advisable to use in fights, for ventilation purposes only (Wind Element is weak in the early stages).

And the rest leveled up by one.

I am hovering over my new stats when I realized something. I immediately looked at the direction in which the reflection is coming from and saw a lady of immense beauty, she have white skin of unblemished degree. She has yellow colored hair alongside a pair of eyes with the same yellow color as her silky hair, she is wearing a priest outfit that is not doing its job to hide the enormous breasts in her chest area alongside her waist so slender that it seems to break with the slightest of touch and her ample pair of butt cheeks that seduces anyone to squeeze it.

Damn, who's this smoking-hot person? I might just commit the worst sin in my two lives because of her.

[And thus, a sexual molester is born.]

Right, after you malfunctioned you become more annoying you know that?

I ignored [Guide] as I asked a more important matter in this lady in front of me who have a very excited expression with matching panting and red-colored cheeks, if she's not glued to the cocoon I came from then I would suspect her of being a pedophile.

I looked at the lady who is ignoring me as I asked.

"Who are you?"

She suddenly shuddered with a slight jump and a "hiiiii!" sound slowly echoed in the whole cave, I gulped while I stare at the jiggling pair of mounds in her chest area for a moment and returned my focus. Damn it, I am getting easily distracted these days, I'm telling you.

[Isn't it just because you're a pervert?]

Nope, not at all, I am a virtuous Christian in my previous world and will not harbor ill desires towards other people without them being a lover first.

[You just said you are about to commit your worst sin.]

Th-that's... When did you become wittier than me?

[Master, I am as witty as you, not more.]

Yeah, whatever. We are having that mental conversation whilst I make some sand tentacles sprout out of the back of the suspicious lady and grabbed her two delicate-looking hands and pin them slightly to the ground.

"Ah... That's right, you can do this... B-but I am not suspicious!"

She stuttered as she tugged the tentacles a little but I also tugged it back so her attempts did not work, more importantly, what does she mean by "That's right, you can do this..."

Is... Is she a stalker? I started to inch away at her and a magically created water orb came out from my hand, it is whirling like crazy whilst I hide it of course, well we are not so sure but just in case she's a lolicon, I will rasengan the hell out of her.

"I have a photographic memory and I don't remember any humans in my settlements besides me. Also, I don't remember any face cuter than Lyra, so tell me, why are you not suspicious?"

She, instead of being pale in the face blushed instead and looked at the ground for a moment muttering "Cute she said..." and then proceeded to go back to reality and suddenly kneeled in a dogeza position.

"Tha... That's right! So I am suspicious! But please don't kill me!"

I immediately tried to console her, but I don't want to disperse my water rasengan so I refrained to do so. Well, she may have thought that her being a trespasser on a hero prospect's turf is a grave sin, I mean, it is, but for her who has a seemingly reserved and modest, or even unconfident demeanor to barge into a place in which a prospect has built, then she must have some reason for it.

Though we are not that close yet so I won't pry open to it.

"I... I won't..."

I said as I stared at her butt she is unwittingly making me see. I started to recite some prayers from different religions to wipe out my evil thoughts and continued asking.

"... So what's your name?"

She who is trying to block a non-existent attack coming from me peaked at my face and slowly but surely got up, but still in a subjugated position. Maybe so that I won't grow suspicious of her.

"I... I am Eleanor Blackwell, a former orphan from the Urduja Orphanage and an elite caster of the Gjallarhorn Kingdom."

She said as I nodded my head, I see, so there is a Kingdom outside of the forest named Gjallarhorn huh...

Why did I assume that it was right outside of the forest? Because she doesn't look battered, she looks fresh, meaning she gets restocks of resources now and then before she went astray away from her party mates, yup this is another Lyra case.

"So Eleanor, how did my subordinates let you come close to me?"

I already knew that she used the chaos of the wolf invasion to sneak inside the settlement without the preoccupied soldiers noticing it, so I skipped that and proceeded to the next question.

"Well, I saved your life you see."

She said and went to open both of her palms in front of me and a light came out of it, I tried to use [Observe] but I got nothing, [Guide]?

[Ah, that's right, you can't copy title skills.]

But you said the restriction of [Observe] is only for unique skills?

[Master, at that time you don't have any kind of title skills. Then let me rephrase it, any skills not gained through natural evolution, or by repeatedly doing some sort of action cannot be copied by unique skill [Observe].]

I then nodded a little, that makes sense, it will be extremely overpowered if the unique skill can copy anything I see, but still can I at least know what title she has for this? It's for... "reference".

[But you can wait a second... Here.

Beloved by Nature: +100 mana, Title Skill [Healing Magic].

Such is the title that granted her the spell [Healing Magic].]

"Beloved by Nature..."

I muttered accidentally causing Ellie to turn pale a little, her eyes then brightened once again and both of her hands clasped together in admiration.

"A... ANALYSIS!? As expected of a baby who got chosen by a god! Please let me have your body to run a study!"

I looked at her with fright and backed away a little more, damn, so she's a researcher huh... or a researcher that is deprived by study subjects, I mean, she is not in a lab coat and she said she's a caster.

"No, are you nuts?"

"Eh!? Why not!?"

"We're not even friends and you are already asking me to become your lab rat you know!?"

We shouted at each other like that and she immediately realized the mistake she made, making her feel dejected and sometime later she started crying.

"Eh... Wha... Why are you crying?"

She then looked at me for a second and tried to wipe off her tears but failed to do so, but she continued to speak nonetheless.

"Sniff... I... I want to be a researcher since I was just a beggar... Sniff... I thought that when Lady Urduja saved me, I can pursue my dreams... Sniff... But she made me learn support type magic so I can't pursue my dreams..."

I looked at her for a moment, what's with that? So that means she was saved so that she can become someone who has worth on the battlefield, disregarding what she wants.

What are you? An Asian Parent?

I let out a sigh and shook my head as I continue to listen to her. This time, she is already not crying but still downcast somehow.

"And then a search for you was issued, and I thought that I want to study how is it that you have survived in this forest, I also saw you evolve just now even though humans have a very high-level cap... But I ended up creeping you out..."

I sighed and moved swiftly, landing my butt on her shoulders and patting her head.

"I see, so you were used like an investment because Urduja thinks you owe her your life huh? All people are obligated to their actions, thus her saving you from the streets is not an act of kindness but a simple choice from her side, you are not responsible for repaying anything."

I then jumped and went in front of her.

"Rather, you should follow what you think is the best for you."

I smiled at my cutest one and then went to remove my hands from her forehead, that's what I can reach with this height after all.

"T... Thank you..."

[For a molester, you say pretty good stuff.]

Shut up for a second, will you? I am genuinely concerned here.

Anyway, after that, I went and said that I don't want to be cut open but I can lend her the cocoon and the liquid in front of it, surprisingly, she grabbed several test tubes in her breast pocket and scooped out some liquid while also using a lab tong to grab a small sample of the membrane I went out to.

I then made some arrangements, first I made a tentacle of sand in each of her arms to bind her in the entirety of this room, which means she can't get out of it until I said so.

I also said that if she tried to betray the settlement I will deal with her myself while making her sit in both of my palms and then lifting her as high as I can, this is to make her realize the difference in strength. I still have my thought about the search conducted for me, and if I'm not wrong then the person who initiated it is the one I hated the most.

There is also this danger that if her party members searched for her, but that danger is for the long run so I shall not think about it for now.

After that, I went out of the cave section I am in and I was of course greeted by four undead pouncing at me.

"Master!"
