In the darkness, Iroha who just delved inside floats and gasped for air, as her power leaves her body indicating that her power spike times up and her punishment will now begin.
"Haah...haah...haah" Ventilating for air, it took some time before she looks at the translucent board above her head.
（ Nice to meet you once again, owner! ） As she heard a familiar voice at the board, she twitched but it just made her dizzy suddenly and began to spin slowly.
'Ugh... My body really devolved to a mortal body that took backlash as it received my sealed power on the ring. The stats really do affect me but my memories and experience inside my brain still lingers. I've should have keep some skills just in case.' Glancing at her ring, numerous notification appeared near her face as if its nagging her.
（ Seems you use your sealed power earlier than I thought you would. Oh well, let's just spin the wheel! ）As enthusiastic the system voice is, the user grumbles as she realize how weak she have become.
Staring at a makeshift wheel, it contains numerous punishment for the user to experience. 〈Puppet〉, 〈Death〉, and 〈Burning〉 are one of the things she want to avoid as she just got back here on Earth. There are also other side effect like 〈Unlucky〉, 〈Stinky〉, 〈Forget〉, 〈Sensitivity〉, and 〈Lust〉 being inside of the wheel.
（ Should I be the one to do it, or you owner? ） Hearing a cheerful voice at the system, Iroha shakes her head and put her hand at the wheel.
'Well, what's the bad thing that can happen. It's not like destiny will suddenly shove me something worse.' As her hand do a rapid downward motion, the wheel began to spin quickly.
（ Hoh! Hoh! What will it be! ） As the system watch on the sideline like a curious child, the wheel slows down and the arrows points toward...
（ The wheel has decided to impose you the side effect 〈Lazybone〉 permanently! ）
'Yep, should've not said that.' Cursing herself bearing a flag, she take a look at the effects of being a 〈Lazybone〉.
―――✦―――

▷ Makes you want to sleep more than waking up.
▷ Every action that you do immediately tire you out.
―――✦―――
'Well, it isn't that bad. I wonder what time is it? I just want to nap for a while.' Immediately noticing her thoughts changed to indulgement, she heave a sigh.
'So instead of frowning or grumbling, I sigh instead? Well, this is very interesting.' She tries to close her hands tightly only for it to slowly let go quickly.
Noticing this action, Iroha tries some idea to what makes her laze down but still realize that she's floating.
（ Master, you really should prepare some plan once you get out of this place. I have some recommendation that you could try! ）As numerous skills pop up at Iroha's eyes. Her mind sways her to never do it as the board disappears.
"Haah.. 〈Lazybone〉 is shortly the epitome of procrastination. I do wonder if it will evolve to 〈Sloth〉 one day. Well, let's see..." Grabbing her brush on her pocket, she swirl her hand creating scribbles similar to a child, before it suddenly grabs her feet and slowly push her down above it.
Taking a peek at her status and newly gained skill and title, Iroha just sat on the scribble thinking what to do. It seems that the 〈Lazybone〉 made her unable to concentrate and she stands up steadily. Not to mention, 〈Numb〉 will slowly turn her into a killing machine or her past 'God' self if she didn't take care of it immediately.
"Nee, Sys. What is the date today? I want to learn what happened after I came back." Calling the system, silence only occured before the board appears once again.
（ Well... Today's date is January 15, 2160. Over two hundred years past by since you told it to me when you got transported in at [■□■■■■□]. ）
（ Many things actually happened when you're in that spatial displacement, Iroha. As the Earth reached its year 2040, numerous phenomenon started to happen. ）
（ The hair of every individual in the planet started to change color. The variables in question may be related to mana suddenly started to flow inside of the human body but some still retains their natural hair color. ）
（ As the era suddenly shift into a pseudo-fantasy, researchers also tried to explore the depth of the element and found that it came from a dimensional gap located at Antartica. ）
（ As the mana travels all around the world, many have intake so much mana that they're able to use it. Some are unfortunate as they remain powerless that it creates a hierarchy between the supernatural as what the 'media' that I investigated calls them and powerless citizen. ）
（ Supernaturals, by default are people with fictional powers came to life. Something that should only happen inside of a book. There are two known type of them which Physical and Magical. As the year past by, the generation slowly mixed them and created people capable of handling physical and magical powers through genetic. ）
As the system stops for a while, Iroha at the other side starts to think rapidly.
'I see? That explains why those guys from before have hair colors. I just thought that they're using some kind of hair dye but seeing it like its natural. I really think what its saying to me is real.' Hearing a bell sound, it seems that staying inside of the darkness have made her awaken some of her skill.
（ Reacquiring the skill 〈Parallel Thoughts〉, 〈Mind's Eye〉, and 〈Stealth〉. Intelligence also increased by 3 points. ）
'〈Parallel Thoughts〉, and 〈Mind's Eye〉 is it because I have the title of 〈Experience Master〉 that just by listening to the system made me reacquired them?'
（ Continuing on what I found, it seems that other beings starts to integrate themselves toward the planet's society by the year 2069 started to occur. Elf, Beast Kin, Dwarfs, and other species have been currently identified. The possibility that they've appeared are due to Torn Dimension suddenly appearing in numerous country that supernatural tried to contain till now. ）
（ By 2071, a treaty happened between Elf and the country [Greenland]. Other species soon followed. The species inhabited the earth also revolutionize some parts of the world. Beastfolks become one of the enforcers of justice although they are a symbol of war and power. Elves have become the guardian of nature, advocating peace and are very conservative. Dwarfs slowly become one of the best weapon manufacturers for the Supernaturals and citizen of the planet making them also one of the best at construction. Merfolks also clean the whole ocean of the world, making the water, the purest and cleanest once they have come here relieving multiple countries that are in dire need of clean water. ）
（ Ehm, Iroha are you still listening? ）As the system asked the person in question, a bubble suddenly pop at Iroha's nose and she nods her head.
（ ....Dragon, angel, and demons also began to appear in mid 2085. Causing the world's balance to be disrupted as havoc plagues the entire Earth. Nonetheless, the war continued by 2104 before Gods decided to give blessing toward supernatural and citizen alike. Some received extreme strengths, massive reflex, limitless potential, and overwhelming power. Others are blessed with the power of nature as they tries to help the planet's health. ）
（ As it ends by 2110 by unknown means, the demons and angels slowly disappeared. Many falls and others become history of the past creating features that are so unrealistic. 50 year past by, and here we are now, Iroha. Buildings reconstructed to a new, people's temperament changes, etc. ）
"I see..." As Iroha opens her eyes, she stretches her body as it began to feel sore.
（ Ability 〈Stealth〉 have evolved into 〈Concealment〉. 〈Concealment〉 began to reach a new height as you are inside of the darkness. ）
（ Ability 〈Concealment〉 turned into 〈Unconscious Mind〉 ）
（ One condition to become ■□■□■■■ have been lifted. Overall stats increased by 20! ）
（ Title 〈One with the shadow〉 have been integrated to 〈Experience Master〉. ）

"..." As Iroha looked at the description of it, one of the manga she looked at the shop seemed to remind her of a basketball sixth man,〈The Phantom〉.
"Sys, that I would call you from now on. Although I don't know why, you call me your owner or master. I appreciate what you have said to me." As she brought her brush once again, she pinned it near to its nose and think inside of her head.
'I'm not lazy, nor tired of what I'm doing.' Repeating it all over again inside of her head, she slowly felt being dizzy but she continued doing it inside of her mind.
After a while, a drool left in the mouth of Iroha before a bell rings inside of her head, indicating it to be a success as she shakes her head.
（ Reacquiring the skill 〈Self-hypnotization〉 with your own effort. Intelligence increased by 5 points. ）
（ Some side-effect of 〈Lazybone〉 have been sealed due to 〈Self-hypnotization〉. ）
"That should do it for the meantime." Taking a grin, she began to focus more clearly as her disguise have failed one time due to idiocracy but she learn through her mistake.
As the brush slowly floats from its own. Ink started began to drip as Iroha began to be bathe inside of it before being encased inside of the ink.
After time passed by, the casing slowly falls. Iroha who opens her eyes, look at her hand which are now petite. The calluses from her hand before are now gone, her hair that was previously colored cream turned into black and her eyes that are red now become amber.
"..." Touching her face, it is soft and squishy. She also touched parts of her body seeing if there are parts that are still incomplete. It seems the disguise was finally done.
Making the brush near at the tip of her eyes once again, Iroha use 〈Self-hypnotization〉 ordering herself to act stoic, emotionless, and calm. Eventually, she added an additional order in her mind before she suddenly throw the brush away at her eyes as she breaks in sweat, breathing heavily as if being choke.
'My name... is it Iroha? No, its Tokino Mizuki? It should be... I'm an ■□□□■■■■□. No, that can't be! I'm a human... I'm a 'God'? No, I'm a wandering swordsman devoid of relationship as I'm isolated since birth and thrown into a dimensional gap. I realized that I am weak and only polished my sword until I become one of it. Thus, my stats only grow from it without gaining any experience. The 'brush' that was given to me is a memento of my 'other half' whose asleep and only wake up if I'm danger.... Yes, this is who I really am.' Taking a deep breath, she opens her eyes. What remains 'Iroha' is sealed and only 'Mizuki' floats above.
（ The user have succeeded in creating the skill 〈False Persona〉 through 〈Self-hypnotization〉. Intelligence increased by 1 point. ）
"...." Opening and closing her palm, she glance left and right. Her face exudes calmness, as her movements are fluid.
"Status." Muttering those words, a board appears near her.

"...." Assessing her skill, she grabs the 'brush' she previously slap away, and slowly turned to a sword. Holding her sword up-high, she speaks.
"Basic 'Sword' Technique. Impromptu. 〈Slash〉, 〈Rip〉, and 〈Tear〉. Basic toward complexity 〈Fabric Distortion〉." Just like its name, as she slice the empty air. The space slowly tore apart as her swings continue its motion.
Leaving the space, she looked behind her as she focused peering at the darkness but found nothing. Continuing, the fabric slowly fixed itself. Leaving the scribble before it assimilated itself with the darkness.
ーーーーーーーー
Iroha's Class #1
"Nee, it's me, your painter, trainer, educator, teacher, innovator, and lastly, God. Iroha, the God of Knowledge and Arts!"
"Today, I will be talking about the skill 〈Basic Technique〉!"
"During my time at ■□■■■■□, before I even learn to fight like a human. I was struggling for the first time as my movements are awkward and unsteady. It seems that I'm unable to learn technique like an average practitioner would do so.... I have a sudden thought while sulking."
"How about I create a technique where everyone could learn it! During my first year, I explored every house that teach and combine them into one creating what was known as the 〈Basic〉 where we all began."
"If you are stuck, just go back at the fundamentals. That's what I described as the 'Basic'. It contains every basic swing and attack that are being used by practitioner. 〈Slash〉 being the most known and easy to do while 〈Lacerate〉 as the hardest to perform."
"Do note that, while all of them are basic technique, they're just technique that could be turned towards complexity. Combining 〈Slash〉 and 〈Unsheath〉 for example, create the technique 〈Iai〉 or better known as 〈Draw〉."
"Moreover, it also covered a variety of weapon like the spear, staff, bow, and even your body. It isn't restricted by any means."
"Although, you must drive your body everyday to its utmost limit, in order to perfect it which mind you only five people that I trained in the past have succeeded excluding myself and my spawns. This technique used every parts of your body to be hardened and stretched to the point of straining and tearing every fiber, your body have inside and out."
"It is a high risk, high reward that I've created for the people." Hearing the bell, it seems that time's up.
"Well, next time I will tell you about the stats. See you, next time!"
