《Godmaker's Gem》Volume2 Chapter 2. Assistant
Advertisement
"Sir, we have brought your assistant."
"Thank you, it's a pleasure-What is that?"
To people wearing white coats came into my office carrying a black coffin.
"It's your assistant."
"...I think you are in the wrong place. This isn't a more."
"You are Mr. Right, the captain of the Security Division right?"
"Well yes, but-"
"Then have a nice day!"
The two of them left my office slamming the door shut.
"...Is this a prank? Do they know my history with coffins?"
I slowly approached it and opened it ready for any surprise.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Inside there was a person.
It had snow-white skin and black hair dressed in simple white clothing.
"...I should ask those two girls when they arrive tomorrow."
I snapped the lid of the coffin shut, which was followed by a nearly audible clicking sound.
"Did i break it?"
BAM!
"Sweet Mother!"
The coffin's lid got blown away into the ceiling, breaking it into a million pieces.
The girl who was in it now stud before me, her red eyes piercing into my soul.
"Threatt located. Commencing eradication."
"T-Target? Eradication? I think you are mistaken I -"
"Heat Blast."
From her hands, two fireballs flew at me.
" Wall!"
In panic, I used my magic without thinking, rising a rampart made from wood.
Fire+wood= Not good.
My wall was blown away and she just jumped at me with more fire.
"Shit! I need some rock.
In desperation, I jumped out of my window.
"Monster Form! Masked Form!"
While I transformed I landed in the snow, without any harm, considering the height that I just jumped.
BOOM!
I looked up seeing my office in flames and from the broken window the girl jumped right after.
" You are persistent aren't you? Spears!"
I slammed my hand on the ground, creating multiple spears around me.
"Launch!"
Don't ask me how it worked or how I did it but, by instinct, I could make the spears fly into the air in the direction of that girl.
While she was still in mid-air, more fireball gathered in her hands blasting my attacks into smithereens.
"Airwalk."
She kicked the air with her slender legs, changing the way she fell.
No, she didn't fell. She walked on air!
" Spears! Swords! Clubs! Scissors! Harpoons!"
I created and launched everything that came to my mind, but that girl managed to dodge or destroy everything I threw at her.
" Fuck! Electric Magic: Bolt!"
From the tip of my index finger, a small light ball formed.
"Fire Ball."
Her attack collided just in time with mine, creating a huge explosion.
"Oh, I like this. Let's see if I can create more. Electric Magic: Bolt X8"
From every finger, a ray of electricity flew in the direction of that girl.
Boom!
"Got you."
My celebration was cut short, from the smoke caused by my attack she came right out without any harm.
"Air pressure."
Shit!
"Wall!"
It was not enough.
From the immense force, my wall was blown away to pieces, exposing me to her next attack.
"Air pres-"
Bamm!
"Got, you."
I knew that my wall won't protect me, so I prepared several spears that impaled her arms and legs.
"I am not done! Stone maiden!"
Next to her a coffin made from stone raised and locked her in its spiky inside.
"Now get buried by the hammer of god! Stone Hammer!"

Using a big chunk of my mana, I created a huge hammer that felt right onto the coffin burying it in the dirt.
"Hahahaha! Sucks to be you! I don't know who sent you, but I will make sure to-
Boom!
And I was blown away.
I flew a solid 5 kilometers in the air before I stopped by grabbing one of the trees with my hand.
Damn, she is strong.
I looked around scanning my surroundings.
In the middle of a forest. Great.
" Damn it, my arm hurts like Whaaaaa!?"
Its stretched! My arm is stretched out! What happened?!
As I said my hand and arm were on the ground slowly retracting.
"Did I break it? No, I don't feel any pain, then- Liquid Body! Yes, I have this skill, I have completely forgotten! Is it like a passive skill that is always active? Man, I almost had my second heart attack, this can't be good for my health! Wait, I am not even a year old why do I worry about my health?!"
After some trial and error, I managed to figure out how this body worked.
Basically, my entire being is composed of this slime, that can change its shape, volume, and even texture. I only need to think about the shape I want and my body replicates it.
"Ohhh, this just opened up a whole bunch of ideas!"
*****
"Bfahahahahahaha! His face! Did you see his face?!"
" That doll you made seems to be pretty though i have to felicitate you."
"Kukuku, there is a lot to improve but thank you for your praise."
"I admit, I expected more from a person chosen by the priest."
"No matter. Someone who can't even handle something like this isn't worthy to be one of us. The priest might have made a mistake, as well as we know it."
"Every one. It's ending."
The screen that the people in the shadows looked at showed a figure in a black coat lying in the snow seemingly unconscious.
The one sitting at the head of the table sighted.
"...Kill him."
At its order in the image showed a hand that was holding a miniature sun.
"Fire-"
Bam!
"What?"
Everyone looked at the shaking screen, that was constantly moving.
"HALO, HALO, CAN YOU HEAR ME? IS THIS THING EVEN WORK?"
"What? He is conscious?"
The screen finally showed something clearly and it horrified them.
It was a monster towering over the trees, with its snow-white body and deer skull head, that had black sharp teeth.
"AH WHO CARES, RIGHT?"
The screen turned black then it turned off.
"...We will not tell him that this was a test, right?"
"""""""""""Yes.""""""""""

[New title received: [Mascarade Leader]]
"Where did this title come from."
I slowly turned back to my original form, while still holding the doll with my grossly embiggened hand that ended in sharp claws,
Turns out there were several drawbacks to this new power of mine. Magic and movement are incredibly slow and fine movements are impossible.
I even accidentally crushed her torso when I grabbed her, imagine my surprise when instead of blood, oil and gears came out of her mouth.
"I need to seriously train. I need to get stronger so that I don't fall into this kind of situation. I need to get stronger. And I have a great idea of how to do that."
I went to the doll and started to dismantle its skin to see its insides.

"It's in surprisingly good condition. The left arm is a little bit broken, but I can fix it by using the other one as a reference. The abdomen on the other hand is a complete mess, but the battery seemed to be pretty untouched. ....Right, this much should be enough. Time for the truth."
I turned my entire body into slime and gulped the skeleton of the doll.
Inside my body, I moved it a little to get rid of the broken parts, then I placed my core into its chest.
[Alert!]
[Unprecedentet action happening!]
[System is unable to assist during unprecedented action!]
Ha, when was the last time I ever needed you?
I settled myself in its chest and I commenced to shrink my slime body around it.
Ugh, I am starting to deal heavy, but I can still go on!
[...Temporary skill received:[ Automate Skeleton] ]
[Warning!]
[During this state [MONSTER FORM] and [MASQUED FORM] are being restricted. ]
Finally.
The end result was something that I didn't expect.
My slime condensed itself around the skeleton perfectly, taking the appearance of white skin while my clothing got an additional white coat to it something a doctor would wear. My mask also stayed and now I couldn't take it off no matter how hard I tried.
"Well, I can at least talk so that's that."
While moving around, I come to two horrible realizations.
I became shorter by a foot and that I was heavier.
It was the additional metal in me, making me move slower!
"You wish! Monster Form!"
It was... different.
I did get taller, and the bones were back on my back, but now I had a white cap that covered my body. I looked under it seeing that I became less human.
I still had my two arms with four-fingers but my legs got replaced by eight black tentacles wiggling around. my chest and stomach also became transparent, showing my newly acquired skeleton floating me.
"...I will rather walk."
*****
The inside of the building where I lived was quite complicated it had a maze-like structure, but luckily for me, there was an elevator at the entrance that led to the floor where my office was.
When the metal doors opened I walked down the grey corridor and opened the surprisingly intact door.
As I expected the inside was a mess, everything was burned or broken.
"I need a radio. I should ask for one of the new guys to lend me one. Eh it's still early I will leave them to sleep a little"
While I was waiting I tried out every skill that I haven't yet used.
Shadow and plant magic as it implied controlled shadows and plants. The first one was best suited for sneak attacks and assassinations, and seeing how the butler used it, it could even transform the user into pure darkness, but I haven§t yet figured out how.
Plant magic on the other hand was completely made for healing and protection. Or I supposed since when I applied them on me, I felt intense pain.
"Maybe because I am not human? Is this a racist magic?"
Next was the Spirit Weapon.
When I activated it, a bright green hallow formed on my hands.
[Spirit Weapon created]
[Type: Gloves]
[Please name them]
"Gloves? How can I even use these? Slapping my enemies to death? Sigh, this is so dumb."
I dispersed them then I continued looking through my skills.
[DIMENSIONAL DISPLACEMENT], [ DEAL MAKING], and [ SILVER THUNG] seem to be passive skills since I couldn't activate them.
Then there was the body box.
Basically, I could put stuff in my body and carry them. It was like an item box, but the stuff I take out will be slimy.
"Okay I think these are- No, there is still more."
I sat down on the floor and put my hands on the burned carpet.
"Polymorphing."
As usual, my lines spread on the ground covering it entirely, but to me, they looked more robust, stronger.
" Repair carpet."
At my order, I felt a huge amount of energy leaving my body charging my lines up.
When they were ready they squirmed around, absorbing everything they touched. Slowly the holes on the carpet disappeared, replaced by stiched of fabric made from god knows what.
[Alert!]
[Mp at 5%]
"Shit, it really uses a lot."
Feeling as if I just ran a marathon. I collapsed onto the floor, closing my eyes.
[Entering sleep mode]

[... Exiting sleep mode]
I opened my eyes, dealing a little dizzy.
D-Did I just dream? Is this what dreaming feels like? But I can't remember anything.
"How long did I sleep? Three hours? Then the noble kid should arrive shortly."
True enough, after a fall an hour, someone was knocking on my door.
"Come in."
"Sir, I am sorry for-Ehhh?!"
It was that unit leader girl called...Elin? Elinin? Something like this.
Today she was dressed up in some sort of military uniform, that composed of a coat and a pair of pants white tactical camouflage with some baskets.
Behind her was that noble kid, wearing the same outfit. looking like she didn't sleep at all.
"Surprising ain't it. There was a mix up in one of my orders, blowing this place up."
"A-Are you alright, sir."
"Still kicking. Well, this came at the right time in fact. Noble kid, clean this mess up before night. Your leader and I have some important things to talk about."
"W-what? But this is too much! Its-"
"Do. It. Now."
"IIIIii!"
After I left the sobbing noble in my office we went down to the dining hall which was empty at this time of the day.
"So, Emily right?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Right, this is my plan for the unit. Tell me if you find anything wrong with it or if you have a better idea since this also concerns you."
"Yes, sir!"
I explained to her my ideas and the training methods I came up with yesterday.
"Hmmm, most of them are good ideas, but there as some that are not challenging enough."
"Like what?"
"5 kilometers of running for example. We should do 100 kilometers!"
"...I meant that you will do all these exercises without magic."
This surprised her greatly she almost spilled her drink.
"Without magic? But why?"
"Imagine it. You have a weak body that, with magic, can cut a stone wall in half. Imagine if you apply this method to a trained body."
"...I have to admit that I never thought about that. I am sorry sir."
"Don't worry about it. These exercises, running, swimming, weight lifting, and the likes will enhance your natural stamina and strengths, making you proud soldiers for Dis. And speaking of Dis, can I borrow your radio? I want to talk with someone."
"Eh, yes I have one in my room I will bring it immediately!"
"No need to rush. I just want to call the research department about their doll exploding in my office."
"... I am very sorry for you sir."

Development Divison, head scientist Gustav POV:
" Chief, you have a call on channel seven!"
"Ugh, who is it."
"He said, he was the captain of the security division!"
"SEcurity?! Put him on!"
I pushed my research paper to the ground and pulled my personal radio before me.
Did he found out the doll? Is he going to kill me? Calm down, you did that under lady Bei's orders so he can't harm you.
I turned the dials going to channel 7.
"Hello? It's Dr. Gustave, head of the Development Division. Can you hear me?"
"LOUD AND CLEAR. My NAME IS RIGHT, CAPTAIN OF THE SECURITY DIVISION. iI HAVE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT A MECHANICAL DOOL YOU GUYS SENT ME TODAY."
"It's a pleasure of meeting you, sir. What happened to the doll exactly? Did it not turned on?
"NO, IT TURNED ON ALRIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT WENT BERSERK AND TRASHED MY OFFICE SO I HAD TO DESTROY IT. "
"Went beserk? Th-That's strange. I will send a team to retrieve it."
"DON'T BOTHER. It's IN HUNDRED PIECES NOW IN A FOREST."
What did he do to my baby?!
"Oh, then we will send you a new one, free."
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BUT I AM CALLING YOU MAINLY BECAUSE I WISH THAT YOU GIVE ME SOME FUNDS TO FIX MY OFFICE."
"Eh, I have not the authority to do something like that. You have to talk with my superior."
"NO PROBLEM. I WANTED TO CALL BEI FOR SOMETHING SO I CAN ALWAYS ASK HER."
"Yes, please do th-Wait, Bei?! You know her personally?!"
"YES, WE ARE LONG TIME BUDDIES. WHY DO YOU THINK I GOT POINTED HERE, WITHOUT ANY PAST ACHIEVEMENT?"
Is he saying that she is playing favorites with him?! I can't offend the lady, not now.
But what if he is lying? He could just try to use the doll as a pretext to extort money from me.
Bah, what those it matters! wit the founding I have, a doll and an office renovation is nothing.
"On second thought I might be able to help you in the reconstruction of your office! I will send you some workers with your new doll."
"OH, THANKS GUSTAVE, I WILL REMEMBER TO PUT SOMER GOOD WORDS FOR YOU WHEN I MEET HER AGAIN."
"Thank you very much."
*****
"Idiot."
I turned the radio off and gave it back to Emily.
"Sir, are you sure this is fine? Won't he be mad if he found it out?"
"Of course he will. But he is too smart so he will overthink it in some way, limiting his movement. Sometimes it's better to be dumb."
"I don't get it, sir."
" Don't think too hard about it."
