So names are that important.
How do we do then, do I need to rename myself or have someone give me a name?
I look at Tina trying to get advice from her.
Tina manifested in her astral projection levitating around him like a ghost.
[You don't really need to think too hard, anything is good so long as you accept the name wholeheartedly.
It's similar to when a child that has been given a name, as time passed by when they grow, they also grew accustomed to the name given to them.
In no time, the child accepted the name naturally.]
I don't really care about my name.
Unlike Tina who prefers short names I am more inclined to long ones.
It sounded more cool having a long name.
I named Tina earlier, I guess it's just right to let her name me then.
"You let me pick yours earlier, how about you give me a name, and make sure it's something good.
A long name is cool.
But please emphasize the meaning behind the name, I like it more if it's like that.
You decide, and let's add Starlight in the middle to be a momentous of sorts to Starlight-sama's.
You should also add Starlight's after your name.
Tina Starlight, it sounded good."
I said…
I look around the surrounding forest in wariness.
I raise my guard.
I could feel movements all around me.
But I could tell these movements are random and none are aiming for my direction.
So for now I hide behind a tree avoiding a possible encounter.
She noticed that he was on guard even as they converse, so she just continued with their conversation.
[It's my pleasure.]
Tina had fallen into a deep contemplation for a few seconds before her eyes suddenly brightened up.
[How about "Kanzen" it meant "Perfect" because to me, you're the most perfect master and companion I could ever have.
Then "Valentine" as a surname, it sounded cool like a vampire.]
She proposed, anticipation clear in her tone of voice, awaiting his approval.
Kanzen Valentine… it sounded pretty cool, I like it.
"Thank you Tina, it's a wonderful name.
I will be using "Starlight" next to my given name, it's like an extra name of sort."
He said in a jovial tone, happy to receive a new name.
It isn't like he despised his past life name given by his father, it's just that he felt anew having received a new name.
[Oh ho, it sounds like we're a married couple and not companions.
Tina Starlight Valentine.
Kanzen Starlight Valentine.]
Tina teased, a seductive smirk creeping over her otherworldly beauty.
I guess she really is Starlight-sama's fragment.
They have the same temperament and attitude.
"You gest, big sis, Tina."
[Why who gave you the permission to call me big sis?]
"You don't like it?"
I fake my expression trying to act cute and innocent.
This way I will have an edge against her.
Calling her 'big sis' should suppressed that perverted side of her.
[…]
Tina was speechless…
She don't know how to response.
[Do what you like…]
In the end she just let him do as he pleased.
Becoming a big sister is suited to her anyway.
So, it isn't really a bit deal.
…
Fully accepting the new name given to him, he felt a strange sensation surging within him about to explode.
Then all of a sudden, from the sky a vibrant white light descended onto him, engulfing him entirely.
He could feel his already abnormal concepts of existence being nourished into greater heights.
Feeling the sudden surge of new-found power inside him, Kierby; now named Kanzen couldn't help but exclaimed, before letting out a loud roar that shook the entire forest.
Beasts and monsters alike no matter the power and level instinctively flinched others even decided to migrate out of fear.
Up above the sky a strange and unknown phenomena occurred, a reflection of a nebula is present and at the center a black hole and a while hole collided resulting in a terrifying explosion that could have easily incinerated an entire galaxy into nothingness.
Even so, this strange phenomena was nothing but a reflection, it did not materialize in the world because if it did, the world would have turned into dust.
As the terrifying explosion from the collision occurred, time seems to move fast-forward countless times and before Kanzen could even react a majestic orb surrounded by runes replaced the collision of disastrous energies.
This orb surrounded by runes began to beat like that of a heart beat, thereafter out of nowhere the orb turned into a steak of light and as if time had literally stopped Kanzen witnessed it, as the streak of light entered his soul.
He did not panic or whatnot as his instincts didn't warn him with any danger, it instead screams of wanting, desiring the orb eagerly trying to assimilate it the moment it entered his soul.
And like a man in the desert in need of water, his soul quickly assimilates the orb absorbing it inside.
[Congratulations]
[You now possessed a "True Name" all of your parameters will receive a permanent boost of 1000+ reflected in your stats.]
[Your hidden special parameters received the blessing of ?????]
[Congratulations, you've acquired the unique innate: Origin Tongue]
I felt empowered, it's like I'm a whole new being.
I didn't expect such drastic change, boost and benefits just from receiving a 'mere' name.
No… I shouldn't call 'name' as something inconsequential.
Didn't Tina said name is one of the most powerful order of nature.

…
[What a blunder.]
Tina muttered in an annoyed tone.
Hearing Tina's unexpected reaction, I felt a bit worried.
"Is something the matter?"
I inquired.
[It's nothing to be worried about.
…it's just that I didn't expect you'll accept the name we come up on a whim.
Moreover, for it to turning into a true name.
It really is a blunder…]
"Now that you mentioned it, the display in my status screen changed from 'name' to 'true name' there's also this additional '(1000)' stat attribute point.
'Luck' stat that wasn't there before is also displayed.
Wow, what's with this luck stat, it's too high."
I was astonished and surprised, the benefits really were just that big.
If before I need to avoid the creatures wandering all around.
Now, avoiding them doesn't seem needed anymore.
I can feel my overall power has increased qualitatively, every fiber of my being is screaming power.
A single punch from me should be enough to burst a wall open.
I stood before a tree whose fate had been decided the moment my eyes lay before it.
I sent a punch…
The unsuspecting pitiful tree received my attack.
Boom!
The poor tree exploded and shattered in the spot like a fragile glass jar.
Such power…
This should be enough to freely traverse this place so long I don't encounter a boss type creature.
[Such power is really something else for a level 0.
However, It can't be compared to your previous state.]
Her annoyance to his true name was replaced by relief.
Now that he got this instant power boost, his safety is guaranteed.
"You're right."
It can't be compare to my former power.
but this will do for now…
"Right, by the way, big sis, Tina. Can my stats increase even though I don't have the blessing of a goddess?"
I inquired.
[Yes, your stats can increase so long you train, or you can just let time pass by.
I also have a function which allows you to receive stat points for every creature you killed.
You aren't a human anymore to begin with.
You don't need Falna if you want to increase your stats.
This world doesn't seem to be entirely like the world of Danmachi you know.
The downside of not receiving a blessing from a patron god or goddess is that your level would be stagnant.
Moreover, for each level the difference in power is astronomical.
For now, it's better to build up your foundation, receiving a blessing can be done later.]
"For now, I will do as you say."
Her suggestion sounded reasonable.
"Back to the topic, what's with your earlier reaction?
Surely, you couldn't have that much of a reaction just from me receiving a true name, right?"
I inquired while climbing a tree and picked up a fruit hanging on it's branch.
Tina couldn't help but sighed as she contemplated the best way to respond to his question.
[What frustrated me is that you've gained 'Origin Tongue']
'Origin Tongue' ah right the new skill I just received I completely forgot.
"Why so? Isn't it good that I've received a new skill that can be added to my arsenal of cards."
[I worried about the type of skill it is. Origin Tongue is an innate skill and innate skills are double edge swords, it grants you power but with a great cost.]
"You're worried about the 'cation' described in the prompt…"
I took a bite at the apple like fruit and it did really taste similar to apples back on earth.
I savored the taste as I looked at Tina in the eyes.
[Exactly…]
"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare use the skill that far."
[You say that now, but when extreme circumstances arise, such restraints cannot be avoided.]
"Just trust me on this…."
