I am the Kurogane a Dwarf Oni a former head researcher of Association.

Association which I serve, suppress or fix all kinds of problem happens in a world that created from simple mistake or decision of hatchling don't know what is right or wrong.

As for me and my kind works in information and research division of Association. Many years passed since my kind has begun to work and live in the Association after leaving our home world. LIfe there was far mere better than being hunted in our home world. We called many things in our home world like a practitioner of taboo art, liars, backstabber and cowards.

However, there was one major flaw it was a little bit boring after few ages especially on the first generation like me. All first generation Dwarf Oni except me is entered reincarnation cycle after they thought lived long enough. Don't get me wrong we Dwarf Oni's are not immortal except the first generation who is given birth from highly concentrated nature energy itself. Why I decided to stay here not to enter cycle is because I don't think I lived long enough and I waited for an opportunity to leave an adventure again.

Then just as I thought one of a 7-rank agent of Association Sky Mage busted into my door and gave me a proposal to forge a contract with one of soul send to my previous homeworld by mistake of god. I couldn't say no to chance to revisit my homeworld again.

And now I say my decision was 100% correct. Currently, I am standing in front of my master Gladys Griefheart in an unknown place and forbidden realm named Abyss. Even in the historical book, there is almost no information about Abyss except few of them declaring it is a former human civilization that provoked the god and banished into different realm but, seeing our carefree 'god' I don't think he cares about it.

But, I don't care about anything about it because now my eyes are already glued on my new master Gladys Griefheart.

Large majestic pitch black mechanical body armed kinds of weapons that can level the entire city, big mouth full of sharp teeth like moving meat grinder, white mechanical arms and bright red eye like a precious ruby It looked incarnation of destruction and brutality.

Honestly, because of distracted by my master's beauty I fell on face first making me want to burrow my self, but thanks to my quick poker face I evaded embarrassing situation.

Then a few hours later I finally finished repairing my master's body well I just activated her engine's ability. Also during few hours with the master, I noticed despite missing essential parts for facial expression it is pretty easy to grasp what is she thinking.

I know she is scared of creature given that much of damage so I must quickly find a way to strengthen master so I tried to told master to explore this place my self while sending her scouts to other places for more efficiency, but looking at her quickly waving her arms in worry, master definitely will not let me go solo. Looks like I have a choice to use that.

*cute mode active*

[Please ?!]

*PU!*

What?

A suddenly some kind of liquid shoot out from master's nose part. Are you alright? Is this a bad thing!

While blocking the hole that liquid pouring out master given me her permission to go, but immediately return see anything suspicious. Well at least I achieved my wish, but I definitely check master body again next time.

While I walking through corridor full dry blood, I saw all kinds of destroyed equipment along with parts of human skeletons laying here and there. Eventually, I arrived in front of more than a two-meter tall metal door.

I immediately activated my [Magic Sense] skill to look inside the room and found a one figure standing right laying on the door. Looking from the shake it was definitely not human it is more like some kind of parasite with a core replaced human's head.

Looking at the size it was clearly tall as the door itself, but it was no problem for me. Taking a deep breath I took a small jump.

[hop]

Then I used a [Hand Of The Artist] making my hand passing through the door and outher layer of the unknown creature and pulls out the core without any damage. Just I expected without the core creature falls on the ground like a rag doll without any life.

[Hands Of The Artist] is a very unique skill that let my hand pass through anything, and touch anything I need. It is a very handy skill for work required insane precision or fixing important part like [Madness Engine] of a master, but as you can see it also used in an offensive way like I just done before.

After putting the core into my sleeve I cut apart door using my special adamatite wire with dust made of orichalcum and investigated the room but found nothing. Just as I stated we Dwarf Oni's called in many ways like a practitioner of taboo art, liars, backstabber and cowards but you know we never denied it.
