I kept walking around.
I just followed where Sora led me to and bought anything i thought could be useful to me.
I had bought a few clothes, a laptop, and a few kitchen appliances since it didn't seem as though we had anything back home.
It was currently 9 pm and i decided to just head home for today.
I bought a lot of stuff but they are important for me.
While walking back home, I suddenly started thinking about my stats and skills
'...I don't exactly have any lethal swordart or skills, i can't exactly do anything if i'm alone.'
Although i remember where some of the grade 10 swordarts are, I didn't want to make the same mistakes as most protagonists by getting the strongest swordart possible.
And to be fair I didn't want to gain attention.
If I did get too much attention i might suffer from panic attacks again.
I tried remembering if there was any fast swordarts or anything thats discreet and silent that wouldn't give me any attention.
Sadly, the only possible swordart was grade 10, which wasnt exactly at my current level since I was only E+ rank meaning i could only use a grade 4 skill comfortably without wasting too much mana.
If I used anything higher than that, i would waste my mana much quicker and thus get more tired.
A few minutes later, I finally arrived back home.
I was absolutely exhausted as i directly walked to the couch as fell on it.
"Uhh...S are you okay-"
"I'm tired...I haven't walked this much in 5 years..."
"..Huh? What do you mea-"
"Shut upph....."
I groaned as I buried my face in my pillow
I really didn't want to give them an existential crisis and also the fact I didn't even know why I was here anyways so i couldn't answer any questions i would be asked.
The best option so far is so just avoid any topics based on why my personality changed or why i have a different fashion sense or....
....Yeah maybe I can't avoid those questions no matter how hard i do.
Worst case scenario i just say that i've matured or some bullshit like that, they'll probably believe me anyways.
I sighed as I realized that I was still wearing outside clothes, meaning i wasnt exactly comfortable.
I stood up as glanced at the two 10cm tall versions of me.
"....Sora...since i did possess your body, i have to call myself "Sora" infront of others....I'm just warning you."
"YW-YOU-...FINE! WHATEVER!"
She rolled her eyes at me as she turned her head away from me like a child.
"Also you are 14, you aren't a 5 year old child that looks cute. You look immature."
I spoke boldly, not really caring about her opinion.
Although she looked shocked and a bit hurt, thats her problem.
I dont care about her, i dont even know why her soul is still around when she doesnt even have a body to possess.
I headed to my room to change into my pajamas.
I noticed how flat i looked, my chest wasnt exactly big, but that didnt bother me anyways.
As I changed, i noticed how quiet Soraya was but I didn't think much of it.
I was very shy in my past life so its not like this is something weird.
I opened my phone and decided to check if i had any new notifications.
I decided to make a new account, since my old account didn't exist in this world, i could easily create an account with the exact same name.
I mainly posted art and followed others who also drew art, supporting them without sending any messages or DMs.
I also found a way to connect my Playlist from the MP4 player i bought to my phone so i could listen to anything i wanted at any time.
"Oh...Oh yeah I bought 2 skill books!...But how do i learn them?"
"Uh...Are you stupid, S? Just open a random page and the information will automatically get transferred to your brain!"
I looked a bit confused, though I was the original author of this novel, i never actually specified how to learn a skill in the first place.
Good thing I have a free info dumper next to me called Sora, this bodies original soul.
Feels nice to have a servant giving me information about this world whenever i want.
A small smirk appeared on my face without realizing it as i opened a random page from the skill book "Artist sight".
As soon as my eyes landed on one of the pages, a huge load of information suddenly entered my brain.
It felt.
...Unnatural to me.
It felt like a cheat code to me to just learn skills by touching a book.
I could atleast now better understand how to use the skill now.
I then proceeded to place my hand on the other skill book I bought "Mana detection".
Again, the information flowed through my brain as if it was a river.
I hated this feeling.
It felt like someone was forcing me to learn this information whether i liked it or not.
I sighed as I got a small headache.
"Ugh.....Do we have any headache medicine or something?"
I groaned as I sat at my chair, leaning against my desk as no one answered me.
Wait.
"Sora? Soraya?"
As I glanced at them, Soraya seemed to be confused on why Sora didn't answer.
"...You aren't supposed to get a headache when learning a new skill, you're supposed to feel a lot better not worse.."
For the first time, she actually seemed a bit serious.
It was weird that her attitude and personality changed all of a sudden.
But i felt like I should ignore it.
"Really? Maybe thats a side effect from me possessing your body?"
Glancing outside the window, I only saw trees and grass.
It felt as though we lived in the middle of nowhere.
I didn't mind though, it just meant less danger..
..I hope it meant less danger.
"Hmm....Is there really nothing to do here?"
I was getting bored, the content online weren't anything close to what i enjoyed.
I was just glad that i wrote the story to be spoken in English and Arabic or else i would have been in some deep shit.
I knew i could write to occupy myself, but i was currently suffering from writers block as I didn't even know what to write at all.
I was supposed to have retired from writing the day i died.
'....I'm just glad i atleast finished the novel before i died, or else it would have been problematic to have entered a story I didn't finish.'
I glanced at the time.
11:25 pm
".....I'm not tired...Also do you guys have to follow me around everywhere?"
"Hm...I mean...3 days ago as soon we were slightly far from you and awake, i did get forcefully pulled towards you, so no, I don't think we can get away from you.."
I heard Soraya speak, it felt nice hearing a soft voice for once.
But i got annoyed that i couldn't be alone.
"How far can you guys be from me? I do remember you guys being able to fly or atleast float around me right?"
I noticed Soraya think for a bit before speaking.
"I'll just test something real quick.."
She suddenly got off my shoulder and tried to fly as far away from me as possible.
As soon as she got 10 feet away from me, she suddenly got forcefully pulled towards me.
"So.....You can only stay 10 feet away from me?"
She nodded softly.
"Huh...Interesting..."
I muttered under my breath, before having an odd idea.
I decided to suddenly activate "Mana Detection" to see if these versions of me were real and not just created of mana.
I also wanted to see how mana looks like anyways since i never saw mana before in my entire life.
As soon as I activated the skill, i suddenly saw different colored small particles everywhere.
From the colors available, i could sort of guess what each color represented, though there werent many colors.
I suddenly heard Sora speak.
"Oh! Did you activate your skill? I can see it too!"
She spoke, a bit excited at the thought of seeing the same thing as me.
"I...can see the particles too.."
Soraya also spoke.
"Hm....So i'm guessing since we are stuck together in some way, we can see the same thing?"
"Yeah!! Wait, why don't you try your skill "Time stop"?"
I looked a bit confused but decided to activate "Time Stop" while "Mana Detection" was still on and i noticed something odd.
Although while "Time Stop" was activated, i couldnt move anything except my eyes,and i noticed Sora and Soraya being able to move as much as they wanted while time was stopped.
As soon as I deactivated both skills, i used to 5x speed boost from the "Time Stop" skill to grab a random pencil.
"Huh....So since i'm in control of a physical body, the skills drawback only works on me and not you too...So if i'm ever in a battle, you guys could help me!"
I smirked as I crossed my legs, i was glad i had a way to win a fight if needed.
But the issue still stays with the fact I needed a truly lethal swordart or skill.
"Is...there a way to get a lethal swordart? Because "Artists Beauty" isn't exactly a lethal swordart and more like a distractio-"
I suddenly remembered something important that could be perfect with me.
'....The skill "Weapon transformer", the only skill in the entire world that allows you to switch between different weapons at the speed of light..'
I smirked even more as i realized how perfect it would be for me.
Although it was a grade 7 swordart, for how overpowered it was, not many people knew about it because they think that you need to learn how to use every type of weapon possible..
..But the skill never specified that you had to learn every weapon possible and only said you could switch between different weapons.
And thankfully there were multiple types of weapons that I knew how to use already.
But i suddenly remembered something odd.
"Hey Sora? Earlier i asked you for your roles and stats but you only showed me your stats and what skills you had. You never told me what your role actually is.."
I was expecting her to say swordsman or assassin as atleast it would be something i could deal with.
"I'm.....Uh...."
I looked at her as I raised my eyebrow slightly.
"You're....what?"
"I'm...Just the distractor....My only use is to distract the opponents so my team could go for the kill..."
....Seeing how she mainly had distraction-like swordarts, I wasn't that surprised.
"What if you are alone? How will you defend yourself?"
"Uhm....I'll never get in a situation like that though so its fine...."
I looked down at her with disappointment in my eyes. She was truly hopeless, no wonder she isn't an important character in my novel.
"....Tomorrow i'm getting the "Weapon Transformer" skill. You better be glad I know how to user multiple weapons in a battle.."
...Like a butcher knife or an axe.
