I can hear a loud voice speaking as the barrel I'm in get's picked up.
"Oey! Guek Iokol eoin' qhat Sakne water qoday? ween eyin' tor wome vood wle..."
... THE HELL WAS THAT?! I mean yeah, sure, I guess they would speak another language but... Seriously? Come on, God! I'm gonna have to learn the language of this place? No translator skill or anything... Damnit-
"Vep! zan't xait nyself!"
"Hooooh! vood qhing Guek vot qhis trom qhat nerchant vuy!" The guy carrying the Barrel spoke and slapped it a couple times.
Ow! Dude, the hell was that for? Stuff hurts! I'm in here, ya know! Hehe, of course he doesn't know, I'm a master spy! Soon I'll be getting some spy or ninja class any moment now! On that thought... Are there even classes?
{For humans and other demi-human races, yes.}
Ooooh! So if I did use Gluttony on a human or- Wait... What am I thinking!? I used to be human! There's no way I could... do something like that-
[WELL, WHAT ABOUT THAT VAMPIRE GUY? HMMM?]
THAT WAS DIFFERENT AND YOU KNOW IT! He attacked me first, anyway! So... It doesn't matter! I'm not heartless! Agh... I'm probably being hypocritical... OH, WHO CARES!
Wait! This could be the time for Mimic to shine! I don't need to actually 'kill' anything since I just look like them! So I could use that and pretend to be one of them! After they drink that alcohol stuff, they'll be inflicted with a l o t of paralysis and then I'll be able to steal all their stuff! a-as long as they keep the debuff for long enough... I CAN ONLY HOPE! AHAHAHA!
Oh! I was put down! And now they're walking away? Alright! I carefully push up on the lid on the to- I can't get out. o-oh.
Oh no.- OH GOD, WHAT DO I DO!? UM, OPEN THE SHOP-
{Request confirmed.}

Hmmm... Oooh- What does that Flame Stone do?
{Would you like to activate Appraisal?}
Mhm yeah, yeah, sure.
{Flame stone - A regular rock enchanted with low amounts of fire magic, can create a small flame or warm-up and used as a heat source. While traversing cold landscapes, they have been used as heat packs by intelligent races.}
Oh! That's useless right now! Uh, Buy that dagger-
{Confirmed. Deducting 75 Credits.}
A small, slightly curved dagger appeared centimetre by centimetre... Inside of me- OH- OKAY CALM DOWN- It's not gonna cause any damage since I already softened my body a lot so it can't really cut me up... I harden one part of my body and move the knife up to the top and slowly cut through the lid. Damn, this is one sharp knife- Cuts like... really, really hard butter.
I pushed up on the lid after I cut through a circle and slid out, carefully placing the lid back on, hoping it wouldn't fall in-
Alright, now all I have to do is find a guy I can use Mimic on! I sneakily Slime Walk Trademarked to a corner of the room and w a i t . And wait... And wait-
Before I know it, hours had passed! HOW LONG IS THIS GONNA TAKE?! JUST ONE GOD DAMN PERSON, O N E . PLEASE JUST WALK ON THROUGH. This did give me a good amount of time to practice with my skills and my own body. Oh, um, While this was going on I gained a new skill- >Body Manipulation (Lesser)< And basically, I can like manipulate my body better??? Like, I can make some tentacles kinda limbs that are really sharp at the end! Like a spear! Which is kinda neat. Oh, oh! And I can move my core now, which is really cool. Who knew I could get skills just by practicing stuff?
[That should have been incredibly obvious.]
WELL, I'M SORRY! I'M NOT SOME SORT OF EINSTEIN GENIUS!
[I- Your stupidity truly astounds me.]
WELL YOU'RE- UM... UNCOOLNESS A-STAND-S ME!
[It's astounds, not a-staNd-S, idiot.]
OH SHUT UP! I NEED TO BE ON HIGH GUARD! NOT... LOW GUARD, YOU SWINE!
[I- Then do it.]
I will, thank you very much! Now, I wonder if I used paralysis bite in conjunction with body manipulation... Maybe I could make a syringe kinda thing? That's the only way I know I could use it... I tested it out, concentrating the paralysis venom to come out of a specific place and... what do you know? It worked! Now I still have to wa-
I HEAR A VOICE
"Ugh... Xhy'd qhey oave qo zhoose ne qo vet qhe wle wnd whit... Xhat a wother!" A raspy, deep voice spoke as they walked in front of me, not noticing!
I sneakily sneak behind them AND STAB THEM RIGHT IN THE NECK WITH ONE OF THE TENTACLE THINGS I MADE WITH MY BODY! Before they can even react, I send a current of paralysis venom into their body, basically making them useless. He falls onto the ground, not an expression on their face.
I haven't actually used Mimic before... So I don't actually know how to use it... Well, guess I'm winging it! I activate the skill, my attention focused on the man. I start growing and growing... And then it stops! That felt weird- But now I hopefully look like him. He was probably coming to get the alcohol so... I pick up a couple of them, with trouble, and walk off! Now, time to find the dining room!
[Chapter 11, End.]
I... I am a hero! Sure, sure. I might not be some shitty summoned hero from another world or anything, but my strength and good deads outnumber and Summoned hero! I'm a natural-born, native hero! Even if the king doesn't recognize me as one now, he'll soon! I'm sure of it!
What? You don't know who I am? Damn, you live under a rock or something? I'm Blaine Skia! Born in Oskira town in the territory of the Draila kingdom! My power and wits are outmatched by none! I'm already a C rank adventurer too!
On that note, I'm currently in the adventurers guild right now looking for a quest. I'm about to grab one when... I get bumped into. By who you might ask? Miate, leader of the A rank adventurers group named 'Steel fang'. Or as I like to call him, Piece of shit.
"Oh! Sorry, man, 'didn't see ya there!" He spoke in his deep, seemingly kind sounding voice. I'll have you know he's the opposite of a good person. He's definitely a thief! Well, yes, I don't have any proof, but he definitely is!
"Yeah, yeah, don't let it happen again," I reply, acting like I wasn't furious. I have to keep up my good reputation!
>Skill: Anger has levelled up to 9. Proficiency close to max.<
Ah, there's that voice again. I recently got a skill named 'System' And... It's incredibly useful.
"Oh... Yeah...?" He said as if he was confused, what the hell was confusing with my statement? Ugh. I took a quest paper and left without adding anything to that... 'Conversation'.
