《They said I could become anything so I became a _____!!!》Chapter 41: Evil
Advertisement
After checking out Morganas stats decide to check her abilities. I can imagine her abilities are quite different from Rowans considering her species is very different. Considering the name of the species I guess that she gained some kind of wind magic. How will that effect her earth abilities?
Tail Whip Lv.6, Sharp Fang Lv.8, Earth Heal Lv.4, Stealth Lv.1, Limited Shapeshifting Lv.1
The first abilities are pretty basic, nothing out of unusual. Only Stealth and Shapeshifting is new. But what comes after it…
Wind Elemental Heal Lv.1
By absorbing the surrounding wind essence the caster heals itself. Cost 5 mana per 20 sec.
Wind Blast Lv.1
By gathering the surrounding wind you can than fire it towards your enemies. The higher the level the stronger the attack. Costs 5 mana.
Glide Lv.1
By gathering wind under ones body the user can glide through the air for an undetermined amount of time.
Mana Leech Lv.1
When out of mana the user can leech itself to another beings body to consume their mana and make it their own. Also have the side effect causing the target to become stunned. Prolonged exposure causes the target to faint.
Wow… That is kinda scary. Imagine a big snake suddenly latching onto you, sucking your mana dry, unable to do nothing about it. Morgana suddenly turns towards me, noticing my sudden silence.
“Bosss, isss ssomething wrong?”
“... Morgana, check out your skills…”
“Oh yeah! My skillsss, I wonder how they turned ou-!? Wawawa!?”
“I know, right!?”
“I didn’t think they would change this much!”
We spent the following five minutes fangirling about her new skills.
“But hey, Morgana, how about your transformation skill? What can you change into?”
“I don’t know, let’sss try it out!”
Another light suddenly covered Morganas body and once again she changed shape. This time she became smaller, and smaller, and smaller… Will she become another stone? No, wait, she is even smaller than Rowan in his stone form. A pebble. The light fades out and the thing appearing in front of me is… A pendant, consisting of a green teardrop formed stone connected to a chain made out of the same material.
“So, how do I look?” Morgana asks
“Way better than Rowans secondary form. His is a regular stone”.

“I’m sorry mistress but I can’t help i!” Rowan protests. Both me and Morgana ignores him. I pick up Morgana. This will get in handy. I can carry Morgana around, even in public, and she can help me at anytime without me needing to summon her from the storage. If I get surprise attacked she can transform back in an instance.
Suddenly Zar steps forward and bumps his nose into Morgana.
“Wow, Moga is so cool! Can I transform to?” he asks.
“Sorry Zar but until you evolve you wont be able to so” I tell him, patting his head.
“Aww… But what about mama? Can mama transform?”
“Oh yeah I can, but I have never tried it before” I realize.
“Mama, can you please transform? I really wanna see!”
“Yeah, I also wanna see bosss other form. Dont you?” Morgana asks Rowan.
“Indeed I do. I wish to see all of mistress” he answers.
Rowan, Zar and Morgana (I guess) pauses and stares at me.
“Ok ok I get it! I am also kinda curious to be honest”.
Morgana transforms back into her snake form. I take a deep breath. According to my shapeshifting skill, when I transform I turn into something not quite a bird but still not far off. I wonder what it is.
Now how do I do this? In novels they just need to think about transforming but is it really that easy? Transform! Nope, nothing. I give Rowan a troubled gaze.
“I know you can do it mistress, you have it in you”.
Rowans encouraging words fills me with determination. Yeah, I can do it. Maybe if I gather my mana and move it around… Suddenly a warm feeling fills my body. Wow, I did it! Is this what transforming feels like? It’s kinda… Nice, like waking up after a long nights sleep. I close my eyes. I can feel my body changing but it doesn’t hurt. It feels completely natural.
I open my eyes. Huh? Why did everything become smaller? Why am I looking down on Rowan and the others? I look at my body. It is covered by grey feathers. My arms are once again wings but these ones are much larger than I’m used too. I stretch them and realize I could easily completely cover Rowan and the others with only one wing. My talons have become longer and colored red but my wound is still visible on my left leg.

Judging from my perspective I am at least three meters tall and I’m not even standing at my full lenght.
“So, uhm… How do I look?”
“Mistress you look-”
“Mama is beautiful! Mama is cool!”
“The kid is right bosss, compared to you I look like trasssh!”
“R-really?”
I want to see myself! I turn my head around and spot a tiny pond. I walk over towards it and look down into the water. I gasp.
What meets my eyes is a terrifying creature, looking like a mix between a bird and dragon. Nothing is left of the once swan like creature, except the long, sturdy neck. A red, glowing eye stares back at me, with a thin slit altering it’s shape in accordance to the light around it. At first I had a hard time believing it was really me but after seeing the creatures left eye was missing I realized it truly was me.
I’ve got a long, black, sharp beak but when I open it I can see a rows of tiny sharp teeth decorating the inside. I’ve got a long tail, similar to that of a lizard excepts it is covered in black feathers.
Wow, this is really cool but… Why couldn’t I look like a phoenix instead? I look kinda evil right now, as if I was the minion of a bad guy. Suddenly a blue screen pops up in front of me.
//You have transformed into your second form! In this form your strenght and health increases but in this form you are recognized as a evil creature by the major sentient species and will get attacked.//
… I swear I’m not evil. Please don’t look at me like that… I am really nice once you get to know me! Don’t believe everything you read! Hey, no! Don’t comment that! I may not be the protagonist but I’m not the antagonist either! Author-sama, help me!
*We take a short break in order for Ruth to calm her shit. Again. We will stop breaking the fourth wall in just a sec. Thank you for waiting.*
Ok, ok. Breathe in. Breathe out. I can do this. Suddenly I can feel something crawl across my body. It’s Morgana. She places herself around my shoulders. Like this I look even more evil…
“Bosss, you really look cool like that ya know? You ssshould transform more often”.
… Morgana, I know you mean well but you’re not helping right not. I lower my head. This world really ain’t fair… Is it because of my low luck? Or did I anger some god? Please tell me what I did wrong! I’m sorry!
“Mistress, what is wrong?”
“Ah, nothing… Nothing at all…”. Crap, I can’t even convince myself… And I am supposed to be a good liar…

*Meanwhile in another country, unknown priestess POV*
Today is another beautiful day. Our Divine and Loving Goddess Chreshna truly is smiling upon us. I take a deep breath. The cool air fills my lungs.
I joined the church 12 years ago, after my village was raided by bandits. I had no reason to live with my family dead and home forever gone. But it was then I met the Priest. He saved me from the darkness that is sorrow and despair. He showed me the light. He showed me her.
Ever since then I’ve been serving the church, spreading the words of our goddess. I am honored to be part of it.
Suddenly the world around me stops. The air becomes cold, then sun goes behind the clouds. Wh-what is this eire feeling!? It feels like something bad is gonna happen.
My vision suddenly becomes blurry. I fall down on my knees. Around me everyone else are doing the same. A soft, warm voice suddenly appears in my head.
[My children, I am pleased with all of you, but I come with grave news. Danger is approaching. Not only have my sister put her evil plans into action but another threat have appeared. You need to prepare, for this being have sinned and is going to spread its wretched desires into everyone around it! Protect yourselves, fight and pray. Fare well my children, I will forever guard over you.]
The voice disappears and everything returns to normal. Except nothing will never be normal again. It was her! It really was! We all heard it! I, together with everyone else starts chanting. Oh the joy to be spoken to!
Believe in us, we will defeat this new evil! We will purge it, down to its very core! Chreshna, our beloved divine, we promise you! Let us kill this wretched being in your name, let us defend this world in your favor!

Callum Clark, a young man who is the recently abandoned second son of a low noble family, is entirely to blame. Shortly after accepting an invitation to the cult, he was wrongfully kidnapped by members of the cult.

8 122The Everburn Mage
As a child, Rune Ransford held admirable aspirations of following his father's footsteps by joining the military as a combat mage. These skilled practitioners of magic helped to close the curtain on the much dreaded 7 Year War between his home country of Esteras and the nations that threatened to destroy it. Possessing a natural aptitude for manifesting and manipulating fire magic, as well as receiving support from his family, his mind had long since been made up. He would be a mage that would make them proud. However, a single, bloodshed night was enough to change his fate forever. Before his eyes, he witnessed every soul he loved perish in an undying inferno. The worst part of it all wasn't that he was helpless to save them. No, what plagues his mind even to this day is that everyone is convinced that he is responsible for their deaths. That he is a cruel devil who walked through a sea of fire and lived. Now, serving in the military as a fully-fledged combat mage, he intends to uncover the truth of what really happened in his tragic past. What Rune has yet to realize, however, is that there are larger, more malicious forces at play. Forces connected to his family’s untimely demise. Forces lurking in the shadows of the very country he lives. And forces striving to alter the course of Esteras' history. Brandishing his flames of suffering, The Everburn Mage takes his first step into a world of loss, iniquity, and betrayal.
