I had decided to visit Ramiris since Milim was too busy, I was curious what The Elemental Queen would be like, she is older than even Milim after all.
She must be some super wise sage like being.
- Flashback -
I look at Ramiris' amusing little Golems that she made to intimidate others due to her weakness. Though her weakness isn't her fault
Milim told me where Ramiris's Labyrinth was located since I wanted to visit, I've heard a lot about this place.
The place where heroes are born.
Ramiris herself though was not at all what I pictured, I was expecting a mature beauty when I heard the title Elemental Queen, but I just got an itty bitty little fairy. She isn't even wise like I envisioned, though I should have expected this seeing as she gets along with Milim.
Ramiris herself though is a good person, she genuinely tries to help those that come to her labyrinth, and is a generally kind hearted person.
I can see why Milim gets along with her.
Oh? A Thought Communication from Rimuru, that's odd.
"Hey, what's up Rimuru, need something?"
"Felix! Thank god I was able to reach you, I have a question."
"What's up?"
He explained his situation to me, apparently he is teaching some otherworlders, kids at that.
Kids summoned from their homeworld, then abandoned by the very kingdom that summoned them.
You see, most of the time when kingdoms summon otherworlders, despite the immense cost, is because they want a weapon.
Otherworlders are almost always summoned with Unique Skills due to taking in a massive amount of energy during their summoning. Unique Skills are something that is quite rare to possess in this world, I should know.
I've met tons of people and none of them possessed Unique Skills, they are that rare.
Especially when each of them is broken in their own Unique way.
The thing is, most otherworlders are summoned strong, stronger than most in this world, so obviously they wouldn't listen to the orders of the people who ripped them from their homes.
That's why when summoned, otherworlders are branded with a slave seal of sorts, something that doesn't allow them to go against orders.
However, sometimes children are summoned, these children are summoned without Unique Skills due to not being strong enough to handle their own Unique Skill. They are just children after all.
In these cases, without a Unique Skill, then they are left with a massive amount of magical energy, something their bodies are incapable of containing.
It's due to this that eventually their body gives out on them causing them to die within five years of summoning.
The kids that Rimuru is teaching are in this situation.
"So do you have any ideas on how I can save them?"
"Hmm, I might. Give me a minute, I have someone who might know a solution nearby."
"Hmm? Okay."
"Hey, Ramiris, I have a question for you."
"Hmm? Okay! But I'll only answer if you give me more honey!"
"Alright, fine fine, I was planning on giving it to you anyway you brat."
"So what's your question?"
"I have a friend that is looking for a way to save otherworlders summoned without Unique Skills, do you know any way to save them?"
"Ahahaha! You have asked just the right person Felix! I'll only tell you because you are Milim's Bestie, but when someone gets the blessing of one of my spirits the spirit will make use of the magicules in their bodies."
"I see, so Rimuru just needs to bring them here to get a blessing then?"
"Yup!"
"Alright, thanks Ramiris."
"Alright, I have a solution, you can bring them to the Dwelling of the Spirits, Ramiris had said that spirits can make use of the magicules in one's body, allowing someone summoned without a Unique Skill to be able to survive."
I gave Rimuru the location as well.
"Really! Yes, that makes sense, Shizu said that Leon Cromwell had her make a contract with Ifrit when she was summoned. Thanks Felix!"
"Ah yeah, no problem."
- Flashback End -
Rimuru ended up going on quite the adventure that he told me about later, saved a princess, met two princes, he even fought an Arch Daemon.
Man trouble just seems to be drawn to that guy.
I just arrived at Ramiris place, as I've been coming and going every little while since I've been traveling to some of the Western Nations discreetly to gather information. It seems I only barely missed Rimuru.
Her labyrinth is created with her Intrinsic Skill: Small World, as the name says, it basically allows her to create a mini world of her own where she has almost complete control over everything, she can even prevent people from dying.
It's a Skill I had wanted, but for some reason Odin is unable to copy it so that puts a damper on my plans, hopefully there are other skills like it out there.
I ended up asking Ramiris for some stories about when the world was first created. She might not look it but she is old, she knows a lot about the world and how it was created.
I just needed to bribe her with sweets.
Everything was created by the first True Dragon.
Once reality was created he gave up his Omnipotence and Omniscience, though he was still far above everything else.
He ended up creating seven servants for himself, and then moved onto creating many universes, each with their own varying laws of nature.
At the center of everything was the world I'm currently in, Ramiris called it the Central or Cardinal World.
That's why you can only gain skills in the Central World.
Once he created everything he then created a being known as Twilight Valentine and asked them to create a race to populate the entire multiverse.
That race ended up being humans.
He ended up creating a few other races throughout his experiments though, like Vampires, Giants, Dwarves, Elves, even the Ogres are descendants of a race he created, the Oni.
Once the humans were created they were spread throughout the multiverse in the hopes that each would develop their own unique cultures.
At some point he ended up dividing up his Divine Authority into seven powerful Ultimate Skills called the Seven Virtues.
Quite similar to Christianity from my original world.
Later on he met Ramiris and assigned her a role, a role that allowed her to speak on his behalf.
Man, she really is someone important huh.
Eventually Veldanava ended up having Milim with a human, this caused him to lose most of his power along with destabilizing his body.
He created a baby dragon to serve as Milim's companion as Veldanava now had a normal human lifespan and he didn't want Milim to be lonely.
According to Ramiris, when Monsters or Majin have a child, they lose a significant chunk of their own power, that sucks, I can't ever have sex without risking losing my power huh.
Maybe Odin can come up with a way to prevent pregnancy.
'As a Spiritual life form you can just make yourself infertile. Along with your host vessel, a Deathman, being a race that is incapable of reproducing.'
Oh, I didn't know that, that's neat.
Anyways, eventually Veldanava ended up dying along with his wife, resulting in Milim becoming an orphan.
Unfortunately Milim also lost her pet Dragon, it was killed when an Elven Kingdom decided to attack her for whatever reason, Milim in her rage caused the massive amount of power she inherited from her father to come to the surface, this caused her a temporary loss of sanity. During this period she destroyed the Elven Kingdom and awakened as a True Demon Lord.
Her own Harvest Festival brought back her pet dragon in a corrupted state, she herself ordered her to terrorize the elves of the kingdom that attacked her.
The destruction ended up being so widespread that the Demon Lord Guy Crimson had to step in to prevent the damage from spreading throughout the entire world.
Milim fought Guy for seven days and seven nights with no true victor, eventually Ramiris herself had to step in and pacify Milim, though this had some side effects on Ramiris herself.
Ramiris had absorbed the Demonic Aura of Guy and Draconic Aura of Milim causing her to turn into a corrupted elemental causing her to be in a constant state of reincarnation.
Once Milim was pacified she herself sealed her pet dragon in order to stop its rampage.
Eventually those three, Guy Crimson, Ramiris and Milim became the first three Demon Lords.
Quite the sad story.
She also taught me a bit about spirits, spirits have tiers, Medium, Greater, Great, and Supreme.
Great Spirits are the Great Holy Spirits, the highest tier spirit you can generally be blessed by. Supreme Spirits are the True Dragons, the highest tier of existence.
