《Human & [Inhuman]》Part 1 Chapter 2: Compatible
Advertisement
[Compatible]
Such is the title given to those humans who are sensitive to the world of [Inhumans].
A natural ability of a [Compatible] is to interfere with [Magic].
They can do this by scattering their [Soul Energy], the driving force behind [Magic]
Imagine an orderly ripple on a still lake surface. Then imagine a massive wave crashing down upon it. That is how a [Compatible] interferes with [Magic].

“Just because I’m a [Compatible] doesn’t mean that I’m a good choice for you, you know?”
“Oh? Yuu-kun, you know another [Compatible] who you think might fit me better, hmm?”
“No…”
“Ufufu… as I thought.”
“Can’t your parents find you another fiance?”
“Our families have been tied for generations, Yuu-kun. Moreover, I don’t exactly dislike the thought of being with you…”
A blush accompanied the above teasing statement.
Such destructive power…
“After all, a weaker [Inhuman] like me has to be tied to a [Compatible].”
Indeed, the so-called “Goddess of the School” is an [Inhuman].
“Marriage doesn’t have to be a part of that!”
“Yuu-kun, I know this isn’t our first time having this conversation, but you’re still hurting my womanly pride…”
Yuudai averted his gaze.
“Which part of me isn’t to your liking? Do you not like my face? My hairstyle. Perhaps… my boobs? Is Yuu-kun into smaller ones? Are onee-san’s not to your liking?”
Something dangerously soft was now pressing onto his arm…
“Or are you scared of my belly?”
To any observer, this would be a weird question. But to the two of them, this was perfectly understood.
After all, this was Shiori’s [Inhuman] attribute.
The giant, fanged mouth at her lower abdomen.
Normally, this mouth remains invisible: the cloaking effect of an [Inhuman]’s [Illusory Magic]. But when a [Compatible]releases their [Spirit Energy], the cloak dissipates.

Shiori’s [Inhuman] attribute was inherited from her mother. Her father was a [Compatible], just like Yuudai.
Yuudai’s family had always told him that it was best for both a [Compatible] and an [Inhuman] to bond to each other, and had arranged the marriage with Shiori. However, whenever Yuudai asked as to the reasons behind, he had always been ignored. To this day, the reason why such pairings are necessary remains a mystery to him...
---
A few minutes of pointless banter later, they had reached the point where it was time to split ways.
“Yuu-kun, your family members aren’t coming over tonight, right? I’ll be bored alone since Mama and Papa are overseas, so why don’t I come over and cook dinner for you? Or would you like a bath? Or… me?”
“Shiori-san, you’re supposed to say that when a guy comes home, not when you’re proposing to go over to his place.”
“Ara, at least that got a warmer response out of Yuu-kun. ‘Shiori-san’ is an upgrade ufufu~ Any progress is progress. So how about 7 o’clock?”
“About that, I’m going to receive orders from my clan elders tonight.”
“Ah.”
“...”
“Tomorrow.”
“What?”
“Yuu-kun, I mean I’ll come over tomorrow then.”
“Uh… okay?”
“Ufufu~ Well then, good luck tonight, my little ninja.”

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
