《My job and adventure as a Technomancer》2. Discovering and testing my abilities

Advertisement

After getting out of the wooden cabin, I was greeted by a cool refreshing wind.

I closed my eyes as I breathe in the unpolluted air which is absent of CO2 from burning fossil fuels and gasoline from my homeworld.

Opening my eyes in a relaxed manner, what was in front of me were hills of grassy plains with a bunch of other houses nearby that were separated somewhat far from each other.

As my gaze passes over the hills, there was a mountain not significantly high, but still nonetheless far from my current location.

From where the sun’s position at the blue cloudy sky, it was determined the time as of right now is about 8-10 in the morning.

It was only approximately.

Not sure what should I do from now on, I decided to ask questions for people living here.

Mainly where I am at.

Thinking of that, I walked down the not so steep hill which the cabin or house was built on.

It’s a very relaxing walk.

I occasionally take such walks when I had nothing better to do.

Best when there is no one around.

I dislike being looked, stared, or even noticed at.

Dealing with it is fine, but not very comfortable I assure.

Before long, I nearly arrived at the first and closest small looking house which I decided to ask questions for the people living inside them.

For some reason, the small house wasn’t really in good shape when I got closer to it.

Part of the building looked as if they were burned black and the building’s wall were, for some reason, cut neatly off.

This is a bit unusual.

The fields in front of the house were bared with a couple of dead crops and plants too.

This is probably a farm field I assumed.

Crops after all.

However, the management with it is horrible as all of it were dead or colored brown. I wondered what had transpired here.

Getting closer to the door which was actually inside the house laying on the floor, I glanced inside the house cautiously.

I see tables and chairs that were overturned and there were also some cut marks on the inside walls.

There was also a steel plow spotted near this entrance, but was covered in dried blood.

What kind of circumstances would a steel plow contain blood on it?

Did the owner used it for a weapon maybe?

Where is the owner to begin with?

It is way too silent right now.

‘Well, I guess I should check if anyone is here. If not, I should plunder some things. Gonna need some food from now on. But before that, I need to do several things before hand.’

I made a mental order on another of my icons located on the bottom of my screen.

My Status was then shown.

Name: Alduin Vul

Title: God of Creation

Job: Technomancer

Class Level: X

Strength: 356

Intelligence: X

Agility: 308

Vitality: 556

Dexterity: 341

Appearing in front of me, I then tried selecting the Technomancer name.

Nothing happened.

Maybe the wrong icon perhaps?

‘Hmmm, this is not really what I am trying to search for. Though what’s with that title?’

God of Creation?

Perhaps the Technomancer class is related to this as when I read the job description, it had something to do with making stuff.

But why does that lead to [God].

And the numeric value of my intelligence and Class Level is marked as an X.

Why is it like that?

Either it means it is maxed out or it means I have none.

However, with the skill I attain from the christmas box, which I am sure Max my class level, the former was more favorable. Let’s hope it is anyway.

I cancelled the popup screen by selecting the red X button on the top-right corner of it.

After that, I searched for the skill icon by opening the various ones.

It didn’t took me long till I finally opened the right desired icon, which was the skill one of course.

However, it was also my class icon, but it’s the same right?

Either way I got what I was searching for.

My class/skill list displayed itself to me.

Class: Technomancer Help (?)

Skills: (All)-Creation[rwbnoe24], Repair[e940p%6], Modify [pokf*^%d]

Unique: Materials-Nullifier, Mind of the Creator, Instant Creation

‘......’

“Wait? What the…?”

Giving a look of disbelief, I don’t know what to say as some of the skills looks as if they were bugged and went haywire.

Did something went wrong?

I have to first analyze everything before I form my opinion.

Opening up the Help (?) button after Technomancer, another information screen showed up.

A magical class which affects,create,and modify technology. The strength of the class owner is dependent through the usage of technology. They can create various items and objects depending and relying on the intelligence of the person and the materials used.

Create-To create objects, it is necessary to have a particular level and materials. Not meeting the requirements will reward the creator with a defective object or item.

Repair- To fix the object back to regular and peak condition. Dependent on the person’s knowledge of object being repaired.

……………………...

I read all my skill descriptions including the unique ones.

Summing all these skills into a couple of words, it is “The ability to Instantly Create anything out of nothing.”

No matter how this is looked at, cheat is the only word describing these abilities when they work out conveniently with each other.

‘Not complaining though.’

I then select (All)-Creation and a box turns up.

There were instructions there as it shows it and I of course read it all.

Following through the instructions, I inject an image of a plain katana with a black hilt.

In the bottom of the image, objects were suddenly shown, which I assumed were materials.

However, the materials shown had an red X mark on them.

‘This might be skill, Materials-Nullifier.’

I soon spotted a modify button near the katana and opened it.

What was there were possible enchantments I can make for it per the instructions.

Varying from instant death, sharpen, flame enchantment, magic deflector, self-recovery, and etc.

I chose magic deflector for the sake of it since I don’t know what kinds of magic there is here, sharpen for cutting ability, and searched for another specific option which had on effect to extend the blade like Gin in bleach.

Soon that option came up and I chosed it.

With a total of 3 enchantments, I selected [Create] on the bottom right of the screen.

Loading 0%

Loading 30%

Loading 75%

Finally at 100%, my inventory opened up despite me not consciously doing it, came up.

In there were the cheat equipments which I had not wore yet and then questioned myself why haven’t I equiped it.

But that wasn’t all since there was a katana with a black hilt glowing in another mini-box.

First, I took out my cheat equipment which pretty much make my death impossible, and wore up manually. Leaving my previous clothes in the inventory.

It seems there wasn’t a an option of equipping.

You can’t seem to wear it in an instant like other games do.

Wearing my C-clothes, plain white mask, and ring, I then took out the katana and hold it.

I haven’t mentioned this, but the modify button had other options like “who may use the objects I created”.

I also used that option to make it so the katana may only be wielded by me.

Wouldn’t be nice if I were to somehow drop it in a fight and the opponent decides to use it against me.

However, the weapon might not affect me which was already self-explanatory.

I think I might have added the instant death enchantment if it wasn’t for the possibility that I might accidentally kill a person unintentionally.

Of course, what is the probability of the chance I would even hold a weapon near someone I don’t want to kill

. If anything, I would put the katana into the inventory.

Holding the katana noobishly for self-defence, I entered the broken house.

Kicking away the dried blood steel plow when going inside, I observed the room I’m currently in.

I believe this may be both the dining room and living room as those tables upturned seems to be where people would dine at. Especially since this house is quite small. Where else would they eat at?

There weren’t many rooms to begin with when I searched around the house.

There is no need searching for food anymore since the creation ability could probably deal with it.

After reading the instructions, I have a good idea what a Technomancer does, and with my other unique skills, there is no say.

I searched everywhere, but there wasn’t anything that would give me ideas which could be of convenience to me.

A map might be nice.

The cabinets seems to be all looted.

The dried blood steel plow still bothered me a bit.

After all, which I may have assumed to be dried blood was actually not (that) dry to begin with.

I imagined a scenario of a farmer taking this out and attacking a burglar or bandit.

If someone died from that, shouldn’t there be a dead body around here? Assuming there was a fight to start with.

Well, I could just ignore this since it definately have nothing to do with me.

And I’m not to kind-hearted to save someone if it is an inconvenience to me.

Exiting the small house, I then looked into other houses for the sake of it.

Mostly because there was really nothing interesting to do.

But seriously, these clothes feel so nice.

The black robe feels so silky and warm which may be involved with the ability associated with it.

Every movement I make just feel so good.

I can’t correctly describe it when I’m not that good with words.

No doubt I shall continue wearing this when I sleep.

With the regulated body temperature ability the robe has given me, I can avoid sweating.

Oh how I hate sweating.

Afterall, being slightly overweight can still make you sweat from just doing a casual walk in a cold night or even just standing up.

If I just had this kind of clothing in my world….

Well, it doesn’t matter anymore when I have a new body for some reason.

Finishing the last house I’d looted, which were just some metal copper coins.

From the various houses I observed, this place seems to have been robbed and attacked.

However, there wasn’t any signs of dead people.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, with that done I want to know where I can find civilisation.

That was my question I was going to ask if there were anyone around.

An idea popped up in my head.

“......Can my [Creation] ability actually be able to make it? For such an absurd purpose? No, such a thing...but it won’t hurt giving it a try.”

Once again going through the several steps in creating, I modified it, the compass, with an enchantment to located civilisation along with a map that shows my location and the other places near me. Just like a GPS.

Maybe this is where God of Creation comes in I guess.

Now then, next is how should I travel by?

Many thoughts were in my head right now.

Mostly ideas from back in my world such as the android phone, car, helicopter, and computer.

“.......And gun?”

Wow, why haven’t I thought about that?

Instead of a sword, I could have just made a gun for self-defence.

Isn’t my intelligence Maxed out?

Why am I not even thinking well today?

No, it was probably because of the light novels and manga I read.

Most of the time characters are transported or reincarnated to another world, and through the use of medieval fantasy magic and weapons.

Being influenced by those ideas, I got into the flow of it.

I should be more open with what I can do, especially with the creation ability.

Maybe I shouldn’t make any gun.

How about a railgun?

A gun which shoots out bullets that explode upon contact with something?

Nah, let’s first see how much normal guns can do before I switch things around.

But with the modify ability, even a normal gun could pretty much be an Over-Kill if I put tons of enchantments on it.

Is there even a limit to how much I can put on?

“Well then, let’s start .”

-----

Few minutes later, I made my first gun and named it G-1

G-1

A ranged pistol weapon created by Alduin Vul.

Special Effect: Unlimited Bullets, Greater Penetration, Magic Penetration, Poison V, Instant Death V, Bullet Speed Greater Increase, Burn V

Taking it out of my inventory and putting my katana inside the inventory, I hold the G-1.

Testing it out, I searched for something to shoot at.

Finding nothing worthy of measuring this gun’s power, I just shot at a nearby house 6 feet away from me.

Pulling the trigger of the G-1, I felt the bullet coming out of it, and a loud noise was heard.

“ Damn. It is too loud. I need to modify it again to lower the volume.”

I walked towards the house and looked at the area where I shot at

There was a clear small hole where the bullet went through.

Furthermore, the hole area had a black circular shape around it.

Must be the Burn V I guess.

Well, that makes do with it.

But before that, I looked at the gun held by my right hand.

I doubt I have any knowledge of the structure of a gun, yet it was made.

This proves I can make anything despite my lack of knowledge of such things.

Anyway, next thing I did was once again used [Create] and made a ring which gives the user the ability to fly, and I wore it.

Putting back the G-1 in the inventory, I got the civilisation-compass out and imagined myself to levitate, and corresponding to my thoughts, I was lifted off the ground.

Moving around, I find it not that difficult to travel around the air.

It felt like having your body being empowered by something and using that power to fly.

It was difficult to describe, but I flew nonetheless.

Descending down and deactivate the fly ring, I walked towards the direction of civilization with my compass, not wanting to fly if it attracts attention. Who knows if some arch-mage or whatever would notice it.

That happens quite a few times in a some light novels I read online.

I think I would only start flying when there are other people capable of doing the same.

Unknown

‘What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?’

Shaking from exhaustion, I watched as the humans slaughtered my neighbors and friends and my parents.

Screams were heard everywhere.

Why is this happening.

We did nothing wrong.

Why should this happen to us?

This isn’t fair.

We were only living peacefully with each other, not bothering anyone.

Why is this happening?

Tears began flowing out my eyes as my body is shaking.

Some of the humans were capturing my fellow kin and putting them into cages.

It was mostly women and children.

There were some men in the cages, but few in number.

Right now, I’m fending for myself from 3 male humans.

I was one of the best fighters in my village.

Being a Martial Artist, I was capable of not being captured, which was the human's intention.

Apparently, many of them find me very attractive.

They were all individually weaker than me, but with the numbers they brought, it doesn’t look so good.

The ratio of our numbers compared to them was 1:6

My village’s fighters were fending for themselves with some level of difficulty.

However as time goes on, they were getting more exhausted and had more issues in dealing with the invaders and soon dropped down with fatigue.

“Hey hey elven girl. Why don’t you stop this pointless fight? We will treat you well. We will even forgive you for killing several of our men. Not a bad offer right?” One of the 3 men I’m fighting said as he licked his lips and swallowed his saliva.

Despite he saying that, it was obvious of his intentions.

I can feel myself barely staying conscious.

So far I was able to quickly kill 7 of those humans, but it was a surprise attack by pretending to be weak.

No matter how this is looked at, it is impossible to win.

This is also due to a fact where most of us villagers aren’t capable of fighting.

There were only a few.

I can’t hold out much longer.

Glancing at my kin, some of them were taken into our own houses as they cried by those humans who were dragging them in.

Some them even were still just kids.

Feeling frustrated at myself of being powerless while dodging the sword thrusts and slashes from the 3 enemies, I noticed an opening from one of them.

This is an opportunity and me being desperate, I went straight for it.

Throwing a palm strike at the man’s chest, it came into contact with the area near his heart, and exerted a strong force onto it, causing the man to be thrown back.

This should render him unable to move.

That strike should cause him to lose all the air in his lungs and at the same time, stop his heart from beating when directly hit at, which would kill him.

However, contrary to my expectations, he got up easily, if not somewhat got up with some difficulty as he still had some issues breathing from my palm strike.

He laughed at me when I showed a shocked expression.

“Too bad elven girl.” He smiles and took out a brown pouch of something and opened its content to me while 2 of the other men took a moment to stop fighting, also showing some of their exhaustion from fighting me.

Gold coins were falling from within the pouch. Though instead of whole coins, many of them were in pieces.

“Hahahahaha, it was fortunate I always kept my money with me at all times. Especially being located at my chest. How about you give up elven girl? I can tell you’re quite tired yourself after that strike of yours.”

His disgusting smile made me snapped emotionally.

“You damn bastards! Why are you doing this!? What have we ever done to you to deserve this!?”

I screamed out with agony at them.

But I knew the reason.

It is simply because they desired too.

And they enjoyed it so.

The 3 men looked at each other after I said this.

They suddenly began grinning and laughing hard, making them soon gasp for breathe.

“Hahahaaha. Even if you so that elven girl, what are you going to do about it?”

I might have aimed to attack them while they were laughing, but I was too tired to focus myself.

And with the anxiety I have for my fellow kin, I’m about to break.

That is then I decided on something.

I decided on something which might cause my kin to feel betrayed.

But I can’t take this anymore.

We were finished.

Nearly all of our fighters had been slain.

Only a few others including me were still fighting back, and even then they are probably considering to stop this hopeless fight and give up.

I took a moment to again analyze the situation.

It was going as how I expected.

Some of our fighters had already dropped their weapons and raised both of their arms in the air, showing their surrender.

I know this would make the others feel betrayed, but I did it anyway.

I took out my last resort.

A purple potion was pulled out of my clothing and I quickly opened it and drank it up.

The 3 noticing this as they laughed, stopped and went back to being serious and dashed towards me.

They understood what I just drank might not be good for them.

Most likely they were hoping to deal with me before the potion takes in effect.

Unfortunately, the potion quickly taking effect, made me filled with vigor.

However, I knew, this alone wouldn’t help me much in this situation. There were too many.

And in addition, the potion wasn’t perfect. There will soon be a backlash, and it isn’t going to be pretty.

So, instead of fighting them, I turned around and then………......I ran.

Sprinting with breakneck speed, I ran out of my village and through the giant forest which surrounds my village.

Tears continued flowing down my cheeks.

But, I never knew that such as my decision, I would meet such an overpowering being.
