Chereads / Half Human’s Sanctuary / Chapter 4 - Skillz (With a Z)

Chapter 4 - Skillz (With a Z)

"Listen don't worry about using this body. The girl died, there was nothing you could do, just live happily." Hermès smiled kindly. "And I even popped off while you were sleeping and had a nice chat with her! She told me to tell you that her name is Emerson Greyhardt"

'Emerson? The same name as me? That's just bad writing.' Emerson thought.

"Oh and she told me to ask you that if you ever find yourself fighting against her father, to 'kill him in the most painful way you can imagine' and that's a direct quote! I love that girl hehe." This 'cute little boy' act was starting to grate on Emerson's nerves. She truly had no idea what was going on but understood what the pervious owner of this body was asking if her. And would do it given the opportunity.

"Okay so can you guys tell me where I am?" Emerson asked. "Because this is definitely not Earth."

Tyr went to open his mouth and speak but was interrupted, "of course! This plant is a level 3 sentient mana filled planet, designation QT-34897. I don't know the actual name because I'm not a patron here, but I'm sure you can ask a local! Hehe." Hermès made a cute smile which only worked in pissing Emerson off even more.

"So you can't tell me anything about this place!?"

"Well no. But! I can give you a gift! Here you go!" Hermès reached into his toga and threw a handful of glitter in Emerson's face. It succeed in getting into her eyes and down her throat. She coughed and gagged and tried to wipe her eyes.

'What the fuck is wrong with this dude!?'

"The gift you're getting is my favorite trope of earth novel! Tada! A status screen!" Right when he said it a little golden screen popped up into Emerson's view.

[Status]

[Name: Emerson Cartwright]

[Body Status: Arrow in chest; currently alive and not feeling pain due to outside interference.]

[Race-

Emerson stopped reading and quickly looked down at her chest. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" She grabbed the arrow and started to pull it out.

"Wait!" Tyr yelled. Emerson stopped pulling long enough to look at the old man. "Please allow me." Tyr stepped forward and pulled the arrow, then raised his hand.

'Whoa is this dude going to give me a tit touch?' Emerson was justifiably creeped out until a soft white light emanated from his hand and the open wound slowly disappeared taking all the stained blood from her clothes. 'That was fucking magic.' Emerson kept her freak out under the surface, thinking that glaring goddess who hasn't said a word would hate her even more. 'Why does she hate me?'

Hermès annoyingly cheerful tone cut through her freakout, "Keep in mind that this isn't a system that will make you stronger or anything, I don't have the power to do that here, this is just information so you can get use to your new abilities." He pouted a bit like he would really like to give Emerson a system or something but almost immediately put back on his cherry smile. "Well that's enough for us. We have to leave now since this isn't our planet. Say bye-bye Aphy!"

The goddess glared at the little boy. "Fuck you." Then snapped her fingers and the three gods were gone and Emerson was alone in the clearing.

'Well I might as well check my status.' Right as she thought it the little golden screen appeared again.

[Status]

[Name: Emerson Cartwright]

[Body Status: Normal]

[Race: Half Human. *?????* bloodline unlocked]

'What are those question marks?' Emerson tried clicking the strange stat, only to have another gold screen pop up.

[Bloodline information blocked due to insufficient world knowledge]

'Huh, so I guess there's things this can't tell me unless I know about it. Thanks a lot Hermès, is t this just useless? Well whatever let's continue.'
