《Tourism Record of the Origin Dragon》Record 028: Toothpick
Advertisement
Manifold. Deities' Realm. Neutral Domain. Meeting Hall.
The meeting continues after Vitae's return. She briefs everyone on what happened and her guess of the reason.
"This is twice as dangerous as before..."
They all understand. At first they only need to keep the Origin Dragon safe. Now they have to also worry about his emotion. Although this his mental has been forged after countless incarnation; a loss of someone closes to him would still result in such Disturbance.
To prevent further Disturbance, there is the option of Sealing the three Laws remaining on him. However, after sealing his Space, the Primal Gods found themselves unable to Physically leave Deities' Realm. They didn't dare to try to Seal his Energy, Time and Life.
"We have to discourage him from using the Laws before he found out."
"What are your idea?"
"We have to intervene in any Primal Magic he cast while encouraging him to cast Elemental Magic."
Although their Omnipotence allows their Projection on other Realms still be powerful enough for influence, they can't intervene too much thus unable to personality lock him in place. Now with the appearance of Vagabond Wolf, everything becomes even more awry...
"About forcing him to stay... Are you sure that plan won't back-fire?"
Some of the deities look toward the portal-like figure. Although they understand that Inheritor of Time knows all Past, Present and Future; they still worry about its plan. The figure stays silent for a moment before speaking.
"Everything will be fine... and interesting."
["Did you seriously make me a Spirit?"] That impudent wolf barks at me. He is floating outside my cage, glowing faintly in an earthen yellow color.
"Then do you want to be an Undead?" I say as I point at his corpse. He flinches a little. "Or you want to be a part of me?" Strangely I don't feel gross or chill when I say that.
["Stupid dragon! Try harder! Aren't you a God?"]
"I'm no God! And be grateful, you are just a servant! This is the best I can do!"
["I'm your servant on word only! Remember? I did that to help you gain some exp! And I became like this because I tried to save you!"]
Ah.. it makes sense. I want to shout back at him but I have nothing reasonable to say. You win this time!
The wolf, seeing me fail to answer, makes a smug face then fly in a circle, chasing his own tail. He doesn't really care being a Spirit, does he? He just want to bark at me! This impudent wolf!
"Excuse me..." The high priest is still there. Because of the Time stop, from when he told me about Necromancy to when the earthen lights converged to become a Wolf Spirit, less than a minute passed. I'm sure it looked like I Instant-Cast a spell without chanting, though I didn't look at him so I don't know how he reacted.

"What?" I shout at him in annoyance. My mood isn't good because of that wolf.
He flinches a bit. It's funny how he is afraid of someone extremely weaker than him. Taking a deep breath, he regains his composure and begins speaking.
"I understand this.. attempt meant no harm, so I'll let it go." He probably wanted to say 'rescue attempt', but in his mind, he is protecting me. Looking at the wolf's corpse, he continues. "So, what should we do with this?"
"Let me go first." I say, not expecting anything.
"No." He bluntly replies. That's not a blasphemy?
"Okay then.. I will deal with this..." I turn to look at the Wolf Spirit. Seeming to understand what I mean, he turns his muzzle away.
["Do whatever you want. I can't touch it anyway."]
I want to yell at him that I don't need his permission and he belongs to me, Body and Soul. But I refrain from doing so. Arguing with this wolf isn't good for my health. Anyway, it's my servant corpse so I won't let anyone dissect it. However, bringing something that big with me is inconvenience. What should I do?
I notice the white "huge" Spear still piercing through the brown body. It's "huge" for a human, but to me, it looks more like a toothpick.. Toothpick.. that reminds me of a weapon in that game. It was called "Gluttonous Dragon's Toothpick", a spear type weapon. Just imagine a toothpick with beautiful decoration.. and as big as a spear. It was a joke item, but I really liked its design.
The shape of that spear is completely different from what I like.. though it's piercing a Gluttonous Fat Wolf. Well, he wasn't fat, but he only sleeps and eats so he probably would get fat in no time. Anyway, since that knight is dead, I will take that spear. Hmm, did he really die? He only disintegrated his own Rawn. That reminds me of how I cast Reanimate... Two birds one stone, there is nothing to lose anyway.
"I am Origo, the Dragon of Origin. The Body before me, belong to me..." I suddenly feel the connection to the body like when I chant Reanimate. Because there was no visual effect, I was afraid it wouldn't work if I didn't command Elemental Particle. "I command you to converge on that spear..."
I feel a slight shock run through my mind as the spell is interrupted. The connection is lost. I guess it doesn't understand how to 'converge on a spear', so I need more Dex.. or a more complicated spell... or a better Worker! After pushing the blame for the spell failure to the Wolf's body, I make up another chant.

Meanwhile, the wolf spirit frowns at me but not saying anything. The high priest also silently watching. Only the commotion of the fanatic town folks only raise whenever I cast a spell... I learned the art of Ignorance, so the town folks aren't distracting at all.
"I am Origo, the Dragon of Origin..." Yep, still the same introduction. "I command to all elemental particles inside the body before me..." The wolf's body start emitting light. Some small light particles appear on his body and float around. "... and all elemental particles surrounding me..." I want to say 'surrounding the body before me', but it doesn't sound nice. "... converge this Body on that spear!"
I don't get the connection to the Body this time so I can't personally manipulate the spear's resulting shape, but I hope it'd still be a good looking spear. The spear's power should be guaranteed because I used a Lv25 body... right?
The earthen light doesn't disperse, so the spell didn't fail. The Spell's name appears in my mind, and the light is waiting for my final 'order' to finish its work... But there are a lot of people around, and I have to yell the spell's name along with the 'argument'... Getting a nice spear along with some embarrassment or Nothing at all... Ah, I will 'silence' the all witnesses later.
"Sealing Forge: Gluttonous Dragon's Toothpick!" I hate how I have to yell the item name... I could hear some laughing in the crowd. Even some of the knight is chuckling. The priest still has a solemn face. Good, you pass.
After I name the item, the huge lights covering the wolf's corpse start shrinking along with the corpse itself. In a vortex of earthen light, a white spear is floating. I notice the tip of the spear is glowing red. I hope the Earth element of the wolf won't clash with the Fire element of the spear.
"The Holy Solar Spear..." The priest exclaims. Well, the spear is mine now, and I changed its name. The new name is much better... right?
The red tip glowing more intense, pushing the earthen light away. A brown spear tip forms on the other side of the spear's pole as the earthen light converges there. As the light fades away, the spear reveals itself as a two-bladed long white pole, one blade is red, one is dark brown... It looks like a needle magnet, but I didn't create Electromagnetic Field in this world so I doubt Magnet could exist here. After the last light disappear, what remains was the spear (pole/magnet) falling down. Instead of simply falling, the pole makes a 180 degrees turn before the brown blade dig into the ground...
"That's not how magnet work!" I exclaim.
"Magnet? What is 'magnet'? And how does they work?" The high priest curiously asks.
"Something that can't exist in this world... but I think I just made something similar."
"Hmm... something contains two clashing elements?" The priest says. I'm amazed at how close he guessed how a Magnet is. Though I don't bother explain more to him, not like he would have chance seeing one... as long as he stays in this World.
["What did you make my body into?!"] The wolf spirit barks at me.
"Well, your body is mine, so whatever I did is not of your concern. Now be a good dog and fetch that for me." I grin as I order him. Not like a Lv1 can resist my order now...
Name: UnknownElement: EarthLevel: 1 (Transcended)Race: Wolf SpiritHP: 50/50MP: 13/13STR: 1SPI: 1VIT: 1AGI: 1DEX: 1LUK: 1
"Wait, you fell to Lv1?" I take another look at his Status and his floating level tag above him.
Suddenly I hear something fall onto the ground. Looking down I see the high priest fell onto his butts, shakily points at the wolf spirit.
"You... you Ascended? How is that possible?"
Oh, Ascension. The system that let Max-level player raise their stat limit at the cost of returning to Level 1. Though my wolf didn't 'Ascend', he 'Transcended'. He has his Level Cap lifted even though he didn't even reach Level Cap... I hope I didn't break something... On a second thought, I want to break everything. Anyway, I won't let the priest be surprised further... I don't need his praise.
["Hey! Why can't I rename myself?"] The wolf glares at the invisible Status window as he barks. I can easily guess the reason: he is mine!
"I name you..." I pretend to think.
["Wait! I dare you! Give me my name back!"] Ah, he still doesn't know his place.
"Brown? Fat Face? Fluffy?..." I keep saying embarrassing name to tease him. Ah, sweet revenge. "I know! How about Glutton?" As I say that, a whistling sound comes from nearby. The pole I just made flies over and float beside the wolf spirit.
[Your Servant is now named: Glutton]
["Well... that's a fine name..."] Wait, he doesn't hate it? ["Now you have to feed me more!"]
