Arcin eyes narrowed when she saw that message appear. It was clear whoever this was, they were watching her. "I don't really enjoy stalkers."
[Now now now, you can't call someone as important as I a stalker. You should be honoured I've taken an interest in you.]
"Yeah, I'm so honoured that when I find you I'll personally punch you in the face."
[Dear Anima you should calm down and listen to me.]
This caused Arcin to hold her tongue that was the Apostle name that Animus gave her. No one should know it yet as she only recently got it. "Who are you? Tell me or I'm cutting the connection." she hissed she was no longer amused, she didn't like dealing with someone when at a clear disadvantage.
[I'll give you a hint. There could only be one holy kind of being that could get into a technological item made by a god.]
"Another god… and why has another godly found interest in someone like me?"
[Oh there is a number of reasons for that truthfully one major reason is you just being the Apostle of the Spirit god and god almighty Animus. Animus has never had an apostle before, they don't even have a temple.
[That alone makes you interesting enough that all the gods would like to meet you. That tells me how dire things are.]
"Dire… since you are willing to talk to me, oh stalking god. I really need more information about this world and such. So let us have a chat. I promise I won't punch you in the face... this time. But the next time you watch me change… I will."
[… noted. But sure I wish to speak with you as well. Have your guardian protect you while we talk. As we have a lot to talk about.]
"Right. Saisako, I'm going to be doing something stand guard." Arcin told Saisako as she lied down on the bed and closed her eyes.
>>><<<
When Arcin opened her eyes once more she was in a dark area with golden lines running through space. "Welcome to my abode Anima." A man like voice said from behind her she turned around to see a figure that looked more like a man though, for the most part, it was hard to tell what gender they are. They had golden hair that was slightly long, azure blue eyes and white robe-like clothing. "Let us sit down for our talk."
"Yes, that be nice but could you at least tell me your name."
"Haha! Right, I almost forgot you are from Terra, not Medeis. I'm Fulgur god of lightning or electricity whatever you wish to call it." Fulgur introduced himself Arcin nodded and followed him over to the table and chairs that were waiting for them.
"There is probably a fair amount you don't really get with this world and there are somethings you can learn by just going to the library so you should go do that when you can. But certain things you really need to know that I'm sure Animus didn't mention."
"Well, I've got that people here have status like a video game."
"Oh people on Terra have a status as well you just can't see them… well you couldn't see them till now."
"Oh? That surprising, as people don't really get stronger past a certain level."
"That's true mortal's have restraints that non-mortal's and beast don't have. But people on Terra are currently unable to gain EXP unless killing one another or animals which Terra animals give minimal EXP as well."
'Currently, he definitely said currently… meaning something on Terra might change.' Arcin thought. "So I guess I'm one of the higher-level people then."
"That's quite possible looking at your many classes and Titles…. classes, classes! Oh right about classes. People normally have only 1… on the very rare occasions of 2 classes."
"I have 11 classes."
"Yeah exactly why I'm telling you this. Apostles, Avatars, and most non-mortals have multiple classes since they are outside the mortal limitations. You're 11 classes just proves it… though I must say Animus really went all out. Once you level up enough and your debuffs disappear you might just be the strongest being after the gods."
"How lovely." Arcin muttered her tone dripping with sarcasm. She leaned back looking at Fulgur. "But there is clearly a reason. I don't think Animus would summon and revive me just for something small." she added looking at him with a serious expression.
"So you are aware of that."
"Well yes… cause I remember very well what happened after I fell from the cliff. After falling I didn't die then. I remember a flash of white light followed by pain. I ended up in a spiritual location in Chiroko forest at the time I didn't know that I was transported to another world I didn't even notice the mask and cloak that Animus gifted me. I just had adrenaline coursing through my body that I just ran to get help since I survived the fall… but just barely. After that, it's a little hazy but I passed out in front of someone… the man from the cabin.
"I must have run a bad fever. But at some point in the night I died to succumb to the injuries I sustained from the car crash, fight, and fall. I died that night and that was when I meet Animus. I didn't mind dying it meant I might be able to see my mother and father again not to mention be released from the pain I was feeling not just physically or mental pain but also emotional pain. I only felt bad for my half brother and my teammates I left behind.
"I regretted some of the choices I made in life at that point especially not being able to live for myself. It was then Animus appeared like a demon offering me a deal that I would not be able to attain without offering my soul. Even knowing that this deal is likely going to force me to pay a heavy price I took it… was it for revenge or a pure desire just to live a life I wanted I'm not sure."
"You are aware that is exactly the deal you made is right?"
"I know… I know very well my life can no longer be considered truly my own. I live now to do what Animus desires I just get a little more freedom in what I do than others. It's also why Animus was so vague… cause otherwise it would be classed as an order."
"I'm surprised that you someone that was once a human could figure such things out with so little clues."
"Well… I've read an array of fantasy novels, and if you think it through enough it makes sense."
"Anima you are very intriguing I've never met a human as smart as you. I can see why Animus choose you. But I want to ask. You have the main summary of your status. You've likely seen the curse and holy arts. I want to hear your reasoning that you what those skills and ability to use them. Cause you are an apostle right?"
"It's cause I'm an apostle of Animus right. The god of Spirit also known as god almighty. Meaning that Animus is the beginning and end of all. It's also why I have the use of nullification arts yeah. I may not really get all the elements at the moment but something tells me that every element except spirit is classed as neither holy, curse, or null due to it being the origin. Spirit is the essence of being something that everyone has. However, it is something no one but Animus and myself can hold.
"Though I'm still not sure exactly why my element is spirit cause according to Animus my base element is Spirit and was since the point she summoned me to cause in reality aside from Animus no one should be able to use spirit unless granted that element or is an ancient creature before the creation of the elements. Cause I'm originally a human, not a demi-god, or someone of the ancients like my guardian partner Saisako."
"I can't say for sure. But you also know about your partner being an ancient and the thing about ancients." Fulgur crossed his arms looking at Arcin fairly impressed.
"I mainly inferred, Animus only told me that they were sending me an ancient to aid me."
"I see what else do you know?"
"That this world though consist of magic not everyone can probably us magic based on what you told me. Aside from that... that this world is called Medeis a world that has magic and stuff, also the land I'm currently in is called Insula. Aside from that nothing."
"Sigh of course not. I shouldn't have expected Animus to explain this place to you any better."
"I'll tell you this yes you are right that in this land not everyone can use magic, however, everyone has an Elemental affinity. Which has strengths and weaknesses. You however are neither naturally strong nor weak against any element due to your spirit affinity. Understand?"
"Yeah."
"Everything else you really should figure out on your own."
"Ah before I have to go back there is one thing I want to ask. The Indagtor guild thing… is similar to something we call adventures guilds in books. I kinda need an explanation on it. But I thought asking would give me away."
"Right Indagtor… is probably very similar to those adventures. An Indagtor likes a job or hobby. It allows you to hunt, explore, and research out in the wild not to mention allow you to enter dungeons. Your rank is based on level and stats. Sometimes people will request aid from an Indagtor for a number of reason. It's a profitable but dangerous job.
"So acting like an Indagtor in this world will be beneficial then."
"Yes. Especially with being able to enter a dungeon, and a free place to stay since Indagtor provisions in government and municipality funded."
"I see did Animus style my bracelet to be like the Indagtor proved version?"
"Correct. It will make it appear that you are an Indagtor from another country."
"How handy I can then make the excuse of being from another country for anything weird I do or say with the bracelet as proof."
"Hmm, one more quick question. Are these susceptible to water or anything?"
"They're god provided items aside from minor temporary scrapes they are indestructible and immune to everything that will be thrown at it."
"Oh, that's good."
"They can also be upgraded but never hacked since it's made by a god."
Fulgur stood up, "alright you best be getting back. Don't worry about any issue you have with technology here I'll help you out."
"So basically you'll be watching me like a godly stalker lovely. Sigh as long as you don't watch me bath or change I won't complain." Arcin sighed waving her right hand with her face held by the other.
"Be sure to visit my temple at some point during your travels in Medeis!" Fulgur exclaimed before snapping his fingers. Before Arcin could even reply everything faded into complete darkness.
