"uhh.... do you have any more clothes other than that? it looks..." hideous, he might be Half Ogre but wearing this... skimpy... clothing is just too much! "master?" and this master thing... it's pissing me off! "Naoya... call me Kirin and please undress and wait in my room... your... nevermind, just wait for a minute" "yes... Kirin" much better! now back to where I was going to do.
I call in Luna with an orange flare this was created in the human kingdom and it seems to work! anyway, I see Luna in the distance "what is it Kirin? quite rare for you to call" "well Naoya was just born today" "REALLY!? can I see him?!" "... please stop screaming in my ear... anyway yes but-" she just dashes through like some madman... I'm gonna wait for a whole few seconds until she screams "KYAAAA!!!!!!!" gotcha... "Kirin! why is he naked!?" "I was gonna tell you that but you just barged in. I called you here because of that, I need you to come with me because we're buying clothes for him. oh and don't even think about the Ogres' clothes... I... rather not talk about" confused but she agrees nonetheless we fly into the human kingdom... "we're here... snowing today huh?" "hmm... you're right... well, let's buy winter clothes just in case... you need one too?" "s-sure! honestly, we dragonoids are incapable of feeling winter cold but if it makes you happy..." ...mmm? "anything wrong?" something's amiss "ohh is that what you're saying? the kingdom was turned to its feet when you died, right now there's no king and the whole kingdom is now being controlled by the guild, you might see some corrupted here but most of them are in hiding due to the fact that almost all of the human race thinks that they're demons" I see... well that's past info, right now we need to find some clothes for Naoya and you "also you got any gold with you? thanks for the king's disappearance the castle is now in rubble and all of the resources found inside the castle have now turned into a trading area" hmm... "ooh there's a tailor store over there! can we check-in?" we head into the store, a bunch of clothes and dresses on display, there's also a weird one over there... "what's this?" I point out the black coat on the corner which looks off "oh that sir? it's a new brand by some strangers, it's called a leather jacket its design is a bit weird so we're only selling it for a few silver coins." "I'm buying it, Luna do you have anything you like?" she's still rummaging through... "hahh... for now I'll buy it I'll just wait for my companion..." a few minutes pass "what do you think? do I look good?" a white dress, sandals and a ribbon around her neck, this collection was called modern by the otherworlders, it seems like a whole collection of the otherworlds clothes style... "i-it looks good on you..." "hmm... your reaction is stale, I want more, anyway what did you buy for your new creation?" "a leather jacket that I found and pants along with it." I know I didn't buy quite a lot but he has to buy for his own taste "It seems like you didn't buy that much, luckily I bought quite enough for him!" what are you his mother? "oh well... why don't we buy something else in the meantime? we have enough on us to last us a day" "REALLY!? then we're going to the market, jewel store and a restaurant!" I shouldn't have opened my mouth...
"hahh... that was fun... I'll be back in my village tomorrow... I'm too tired to fly back..." hahh... no choice then "then sleep with me for now, Naoya's working with the ogres so he won't be a bother" "are you assuming that I would be sleeping with you!?" uhh... "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that it's that I only have one bed right now and your bed is now a huge community of Ogres so..."f-fine... but... you'll do it right?" "i-if you want to..." I didn't expect this to happen...
that was the most uncomfortable night I ever had... I hope the Ogres didn't hear us through the night... "Kirin, I hope the night was normal for you, weird noises were happening near your area but I couldn't enter due to you two sleeping" a-ahh... he heard but I hope this could stay as a misunderstanding, the ogres seem normal... oh right "Naoya, would you mind wearing this for now?" I give him the bag with the clothes his wearing... (now he looks like a biker punk but since there's no bike his just wearing it) "it looks good... looks good, anyway these are shoes meant to protect you with speed in mind, it's enchanted with light fall so you can glide as much as long as you wear this" it's nothing much but with this, I can safely assume that he won't be a pervert walking around with skimpy clothing (bitch you be seeing my pimp crook!). "all of this for me? I am greatly honored my creator" creator? "wait I know I said you shouldn't call me master but seriously just call me by my name, I can't handle this formality" "if that is what my creator wishes then I shall call you Kirin" hahh... I give up... "Hey, Kirin, fun night wasn't it?" I couldn't agree less "hahh... anyway, you should head back to your village, I'll call me if you need something" "umu! I'll be back for second round if that ever happens!" I wish it won't but for now, I need to teach Naoya on how he should act with other races... "Naoya, we'll be signing as adventurers in the human race to teach you, remember that you're a Winged beast with a Demonoid as a partner, do you know what weapon will you choose?" I completely forgot about what he has compatibility with... "I am not compatible with?" "yes, using a weapon should be simple for you but using a weapon incompatible for you will just be asking for death, a person with low compatibility no matter how skilled you are with it will result in the weapon breaking much more easily" "I see, then may I request Kirin for assistance in search of what I am compatible with?" "o-of course! you are my creation so I don't see why not" there's multiple kind of weaponry that a normal human can be compatible with but a corrupted has the lowest compatibility rate with any kind of weapon (meaning a demon can be compatible with 1 weapon but not 2 weapons or none) so I'm afraid that he won't be able to wield a sword... "let's test out the weapons of the ogre tribe since they have a variety here..." he nods and we walk to the tribe... (it's just a few seconds but why am I writing this?) first we test out the bow "I don't have any compatibility with any kind of weapon so the ogres will teach you how" "alright, Kirin" a target was already in the field about a few dozens feet away, but as I expected he can't use the bow, he shot about 10 times but most of it missed and the bow is almost broken. "next up is the long sword that the ogres use, see if you can hold one" one ogre is sparring with Naoya now, since we can't use a dummy as good practice we asked a few ogres for help, these ogres are stronger than expected so it's okay if they take the attack head on... but as I expected... "still no, you can't even swing it properly, we'll try a multitude of weapons if there's still nothing then we just gotta assume that you can't use weapons like me" sais, short swords, throwing knives, even the guns that the humans used, he doesn't have a compatability... "this isn't the end of the world... anyway, can you excrete your blood ability?" "I'll try..." it's forming... unlike Parva which needs others, Naoya can produce his own like what I expected... but "it seems... incomplete" the blood that Naoya excreted was just dripping, it wasn't forming anything at all "I'm sorry to disappoint you..." "NO! no... it's alright, let me see if you can use magic, you were encased in mana water after all..." he nods but nothing... "well... we can't go forward like this, there weren't any magic books since they were rare and using magic wasn't even common until mana was being produced on dead beings (read this if your interest- there was a theory on the books Kirin has read when he was in the kingdom, Mana is produced by certain events... if there was a massacre in on place, the spirits will congest form what is known a mana crystal, 100 dead beings in one place can form one mana crystal, but this wasn't proven until Kirin's death so this theory was deemed truth just now *)... for now, we'll go to the Human race and sign as adventurers" Naoya nods and we head to the Town but what I have expected. "Monsters! stay back!" there's a carriage and a group of monsters just ahead of us "Kirin, shall we help them?" "if they're in a pinch we will..." I'll watch how this unfolds, for now, I'll just sit here "Goblin archers to your left! Kenta!" "aye!" there he goes... he's using magic enhancement, but he's not using it efficiently so he'll run out "Elric, assist Kenta please!" "gotcha!" a few of them separated but the carriage is still fine, "wait, I sense another presence!" wait she spotted us?! "hide, Naoya!" both of us hide in between but it wasn't for long, a goblin also spotted us so we were forced to fight "shoot, Naoya can you fight?" "I think I can but without weapons, this might be tough" I need to help Naoya quickly! "Hades! help me!" good... now with this I can finish faster "you there! are you two allies or foes?!" "not quite in a place for conversation now thank you!" Naoya seems to be fine fighting with just his arms but he won't last. a few minutes pass and we finally finished. "hahh... are you alright Naoya?" I'm extremely concerned since he just fought for the first time. "yes, I'm sorry if I am weighing you down" "no no, it's also my fault for getting you involved in this" I help him stand up but "you two! why were you just watching? you could've helped us?" I don't think we needed to help "I'm sorry but for my master, Kirin, you are just dead weight" harsh... please don't increase the load "dead weight huh?" he was just about to slap Naoya but amazingly he was stopped "I'm sorry if I offended you but really, we didn't have any intention to help you, in the first place you were just in our way and we hardly know you" well... he's got a point "I'll apologize in my friends sake, but just like what he said we were just walking by, it looked like you can handle it just fine and my friend here just fought for the first time, he has no experience in fighting so I wanted him to watch and learn from others" "hahh?! that's laughable, but I guess we can let you off the hook this time, if we did fail this quest then the worst-case scenario is we die which just means we were weak. anyway we'll continue our travel, have a safe trip!" we wave back and return to our destination. "you have talent at hand combat, will you train as a fighter?" "if that is what Kirin wishes" no nevermind, having a weapon is better and thanks to Naoya's build being a brawler would make him a big target "anyway, you didn't try to use magic or blood skills?" "I tried but the results were bad, I wasn't able to use my abilities" well that's a shame, from what I can say, his ability is blood solidification, a powerful blood ability which blood will for into anything for a short period of time, shortest is 10 seconds and longest is 2 hours, I don't have any much information about this ability but from what I have read, they need vials of blood or a container to maximize the potential of their ability but this is expensive if a human sells this, it's quite common for blood ability Demons to have a blood vial in their pockets while nobles have them as compact blood vials, it's usually enchanted but even if it's not a normal blood vial can store about as much as one finger but solidifying blood can contain more than one body in a single blood vial so anything will do really. "what are we searching for Kirin?" "we're looking for the guildhall, from what Luna said it's now near the entrance of the market where the Palace was once" "?" oh right he doesn't know, well even knowing it won't help so I'll disregard the matter for now. "Welcome! are you applying or making a request?" "applying please" the interior has changed, it's now much more comfortable than last time. "please fill in this form and you will be good to go" thanks to Luna I now know they're linguistics. Name, Weapon of choice, race, and abilities. I'll hide most of Naoya's info since if he's cover is blown most of us won't live to tell the tale, probably just Naoya. "thank you for filling this form, I suggest the blacksmith near the guildhall here if your searching for good equipment and the inn just across here, happy hunting" ... was that a new term? useless info, anyway thanks to this we can form a party for Naoya, sparring might be better for Naoya so that he can learn one on one first, I'll ask the guild if it's okay to make a request. "Yes, we approve one on one combat, of course, no killing also the person you requested to spar with you should also agree in the terms or else the spar would be considered illegal, there's an arena for this, would you like to create a request on the board? this is free of course, if you want to give a reward it's up to you" after the explanation a group of adventurers, most of them with armor approached us. "you searching for a sparring partner, right? well luckily our rookie here needs to train to, we'll use this as training for our little friend and as a request by us so after this, we'll reward you!" he's serious but I can feel another intention... I whisper in Naoya in while they're setting up the arena "Naoya, best to be wary of who you'll be fighting, I'm afraid they won't go easy on you, remember; you will simply observe how they fight, learn and use it as an advantage, use your blood ability if possible." he nods and we enter the arena, I'm just spectating since this is a great way to learn how a race fights too, I haven't seen much from dryads and serpents but for now, learning how the human race fights is easier since it's closer to our home. the bell rings and the fight begins. Like I told Naoya his stepping back and observing he's footwork while trying to defend against it, a flurry of attacks can be seen from his opponent but thanks to Naoya being unarmed it's easy to evade, he tires his enemy and tries to attack head-on, direct hits and jabs while also trying to disarm his opponent. "Naoya wins by default! the opponent surrenders giving Naoya the win!" after that another opponent from their party comes down, he uses a Greatsword, as big as Naoya's body, a brute? but before I analyze, the bell rings. Naoya steps back as usual but his opponent is much more eager to attack, "wind slash!" magic swordsman? this fight will probably be more troublesome, Naoya staggers and flinch but immediately assumes fighting position to regain balance, another spell was casted, this time its air bullet, Naoya defends he staggers a bit but without rest his opponent charges in for a huge swing hitting Naoya, Naoya's half Dragonoid so his skin is almost as tough as Luna so an attack like that wouldn't leave a fatal injury. Naoya stands back up and casts 'air bullet', just from a simple glance he managed to cast a spell, his ability to observe is astonishing, his opponent staggers and Naoya attacked back with a flurry of punches, he manages to disarm him but immediately stands back up to pick up his great sword but Naoya flings the sword with air bullet and his opponent surrenders "the winner of this round is Naoya! each group please take a break, we will resume the match after ten minutes. "I'm proud of your ability to observe Naoya, honestly who knew you can fight like that" "your praise is much more than what I had hoped for, I thank you" "n-now now don't go too formal and celebrate early, the next fight will be their leader so take a rest and I'll give you information on how to use your blood ability, but remember that this ability is only to be used when you're about to lose, I don't expect him to fight fairly" he nods and I began to teach him on what blood ability is (you guys already know what it is but for people who don't here's a shortened term, blood abilities can use blood to form into anything, weapons and armor, last for about 2 hours at best, that's all). the match resumes and the fight becomes much more chaotic lots of spells are being formed inside, creating a cloud of smoke, I can barely see anything, Naoya steps out of the smoke to catch a breath of air but his opponent dashed through him like he knew where he was, "earthquake!" the ground shatters and creates a hole in the middle, Naoya begins to step back more but a fireball was casted hitting Naoya. I did hope that he wouldn't resort to his blood ability but looks like he failed his first order, now will he win? a shield of blood was visible after the smoke dissipated, "Impossible!" his opponent cried, Naoya made a great sword similar to his last opponent, "Hell slash!" a flame wall that resembled Naoya's slash was visible, it was so strong that the slash exploded upon impact. the blood Naoya was holding dissipated and an announcement was heard "N-Naoya wins the sparring match!" everyone who was watching is now cowering in fear mumbling can be heard across the arena "is he even human" "that was powerful! is he a hero??" "that clothing, he must be an otherworlder" "is there an ability that is as scary as using blood to attack?". Naoya heads to me and apologizes "I'm sorry Kirin, I was not able to hold myself and I used my blood abilities" heh... I still remember my days when I was mixing my blood and bone abilities but mine is inflicting venom or paralysis so I don't need to control it as much "don't worry, you won and you had fun right?" Naoya smiled... that surprised me. after the fight, Luna was already in front of the guildhall waiting for us. "why didn't you invite me! I was on my way to visit you guys again but from what I heard from the Ogres that you went to the human race! but I didn't expect a great fight by my own son!" son? oh right Naoya is half dragon and it came from Luna. "d-didn't you say that you'll be coming back home? I didn't know you were free today" "still! you should've invited me! missing an important fight like this and from what I saw it was something major!" murmurs can be heard everywhere 'lovers quarrel?' 'that's a Dragonoid, he'll get a beating back home, hehe' "well... will you forgive me, but let's take this conversation somewhere else, please?" "Naoya my dear will you behave with the ogres today? I'll just talk with your creator for a bit" since when did you become a mother?!
the night went by with my ears bleeding... great.
