《"I woke up in...uh, am I a Murci ?!"》Volume 1: Chapter 11
Advertisement
"We better continue this talk another time, for now all I want is to be away from those dragons and secure my life."
"Besides, I already want to enter the cave and start my leveo."
The emotion I feel makes my body not stop feeling pleasant tickles. "
[Eliz] "As you say, Master."
He mentions Eliz very formally and almost as if she were one of those typical servants.
“… .JAJAJAJHAHAHA…”
I laugh without realizing it and while little by little I get closer to the cave.
The height and width is immense, literally identical to the cave in which I was born.
I am in front of the entrance of my possible death.
I may die, but I'll do it having fun as a gamer that I am.
Things will be difficult from now on.
I let out a sigh of exhausted, no, of relief.
….
I wish it were a relief ... ha ... haha ...
… ..
"It's a party time."
I say to myself in a serious voice and with a very excited Murci ’smile.
XXX
We have been walking in this cave for minutes.
We are walking?
Why do I speak in the plural?
… Aaaah !! ....
I had forgotten that Eliz is not next to me. Is rare.
I talk to her every minute since we met, but I find it hard to believe that she is not next to me, it would be normal to have her next to her talking about her, but in reality she speaks to my mind or I can just listen to her.
The weird thing is that every time I speak I say a "Giiiiiiiii", since that is supposed to be the language of the Murci '. However, I hear myself as if I speak my otherworldly language, that is, Spanish, but despite everything, I could not talk to any of my brothers when I tried, much less understand mother or father when they spoke.
... Hmhh ...
It's difficult to understand that, I can't literally speak to anyone.
Isn't it supposed to be reborn super cheated and broken like in those novels?
Ah, but of course, fiction is not the same as reality…. Damn lies the novels !.
That aside, it appears that Eliz has linked or synced with the system.
As we talked about before, now she manages the system as if it were herself.
I like the idea of her taking care of that, because just by saying what I want, Eliz does it and that's it. It would be a problem if I find myself in a strategic retreat situation and have to raise or adjust my stats while fleeing. Instead, just by saying a few words she can take care of everything while I run for my life.
"It's good. It is a tremendous offer. " (Giiiiiiiiiiiiii)
You see what I mean.
I recently realized that she made that noise when she spoke, rather, it is the same noise or language that I heard screaming from my parents.
... Hmhh ...
Sigh.
Oh yeah right, I almost forgot the important things I had to discuss with Eliz.
I was distracted by the "unimportant things that I talked to Eliz" and the thoughts that fly through my head right now.
"Eliz, could you tell me if there are humans outside of this mountain."
[Eliz] "Humans? And what is that?."
《Did I hit him or did someone else hit him?》
I like jokes, but asking me what a dragon or a human is is going overboard, seriously, they are bad jokes.
Waiting!!
It will be that humans do not exist in this world.

No, no, no, that would be very crazy.
... Mmm ...
Actually, I can't tell if that matters to me or not, right now I'm surrounded by monsters and I doubt that I will ever meet a human. Just asking out of curiosity.
... haha ... Hahaha ... It sounds strange to call humans human when just moments ago I was one of them.
….
Uh, it's not funny anymore, it just seems kind of creepy and weird to me.
A cold runs through my body.
Chills are a bad sign.
"Seriously Eliz, is it true that you don't know anything about what a dragon or a human is?"
It is impossible for me not to ask something like that.
I don't know if it's true or just bothering me.
[Eliz] "Mmm ... In my memories I have none of that, I just know that I have to get along with you and carry out every one of your orders from her while accompanying her in her life."
Seriously!!
You are screwing me !!!!
"You don't know anything about where we are, the monsters in the place, or how I ended up here ?!"
She takes her time.
[Eliz] “No, the truth is that I don't know anything about that. I only know what I already mentioned and that I understand almost everything about the system or so I think. Also, I was born the moment I started talking to you ... hahahaha "
No, no "Hahahaha"!
She is supposed to be a guide, but Eliz doesn't even understand where she is standing.
How can a guide know nothing?
I thought she was going to be your typical question-answering system, but she's just a chaperone.
She did not complain, I like that she is with me, but she had that extra information and experience from Eliz.
[Eliz] “Is something wrong master ?. She is very quiet. "
Well of course something happens!
But I'm not telling her, it's not her fault after all.
She expected more, but I am happy that I have a friend.
“No, it's nothing Eliz. I would like you to tell me about the price of the skills that I asked you before. "
[Eliz] "You mean… Ah, I remember."
"Let me look at it ..."
….
"Regarding the ability that allows you to see the specifications of the things around you, it is called [Evaluation] and its price is 20 Orbis points, while the inventory and teleportation skill is called space magic and is worth 25 Orbis points."
Uh, they are worth it, but they are enough for me. Nevertheless…
I would like to ask about the next skill ...
"You know one that bears the name 'Magic'."
She is silent again and after waiting a few seconds she lets out a small cry of happiness.
The scream was the typical one that seemed to say "I found it!"
Although the happiest to hear that cry is me.
[Eliz] "Yes, yes, apparently there is an ability called" Magic Perception "and it is worth 30 points. This enables you to be able to feel the mana and as regards how to use it, it derives from having to obtain other abilities or simply use them. creating or seeking to complement it, that is, it only enables you to feel the mana, with respect to the rest, you have to get it yourself or so the description says. "
And I thought that the guides spoke formally or with arguments that supported their words, but I see that the novels have lied to me in a heartbreaking way.
Well, what are you going to do?

I stop to think.
"MMM...."
I am doubtful, I had planned to buy [Evaluation] and [Space Magic], since I was going to use it to flee if the moment needed it, I already see in my mind several situations of me fleeing, but now that I confirmed the [Perception Magic], it is best to change strategy and put aside the space.
There is no need to think much, I will just do it, and later I will see how to learn or buy space magic, after all I really want and intrigue that kind of skills, however, first things first.
I am decided!
Anyway, it would have been difficult for me to handle space magic for sure, since I would have to learn how to use mana and other things first.
Also, I'm not much of a runner, it's not that I don't like it, but currently what I want is to fight and eat something because I'm dying.
Speaking of eating, I have found that "eating" is also related to energy points and as long as I do not eat, it does not increase, but decreases. At the moment I have the yellow bar in the middle and I hope it does not continue to decrease.
I am very gluttonous. I have to get something to eat now.
“Done, I am determined! Spend all my Orbis points on the skill [Evaluation] and [Magic Perception]. "
"Without regret and without fear of fame !."
[Eliz] "Congratulations Master, you have achieved the skill [Assessment Lv.1] and [Magical Perception Lv.1]."
After hearing that, I see how to one side, in the lower right corner and below my Stats notifications appear in very small words and do not disturb my view, telling me that I received those two abilities.
Certainly this method is much more comfortable than having to read and stuff.

[Eliz] “Ahhh… It's annoying to see the Orbis points decrease to zero, but if Master is happy, no problem. What's more, I'd say it was a good investment. We are both new and we do not know much of what surrounds us, therefore, that skill called [Evaluation] is fair and accurate for us. "
"I would even call her 'perfect' for our situation right, Master."
“As expected of you, you are very clear about what ability to buy, even if you do not know them. I'm happy to be the one to guide her. "
You are right, but ...
What guides me? That will happen?
I would call her more of a companion than a guide, since she has no idea where she is standing and much worse, she knows almost no information, she is simply a companion. I'd say that name fits him perfectly.
Well, since, in the same way it makes me happy to have her by my side.
I want to test the skill now, I am curious to know if it is identical to the fantasy games I played!
"The truth is that you are correct, it is just the skill we need… .. Ah, how do you use [Evaluation]?"
[Eliz] "According to my intelligently and geometrically theorized information provided by my systematic and functional mind with 1,000,000 IQ, you simply have to think and activate it mentally, nothing more and nothing less."
Queeeeeeeeee? !!!
I don't know if it's a joke or not, his serious tone makes me think it wasn't, but I don't know what to think. He's definitely a weirdo.
….
Hahahaha… I'm a weirdo too.
"Wellsss… .Ta’ good. "
I only understood the last thing, so I think that's the last thing he said.
Hey! Is it me or did I just hear a mischievous giggle.
MMM…
"Don't make fun of it, Silly !!!."
[Eliz] "Hahahahaha ... sorry, sorry Master, it was the perfect time to do it."
"... Mmmmmmmmmmmm ..."
Better step to what interests me, if not I disconnect it from my system.
I close my powerful Murci 'eyes.
I am mentally thinking about activating [Evaluation]…
I know I don't need to close my eyes and I already mentioned it, but I don't do this about closing my eyes ... Well, yes, I do, but I mean that it is unconscious, I feel like that way I focus more, But I'll try to get used to not doing it.
It would have to be that way after all, and closing your eyes is a waste of time.
I let out a long sigh.
I open my eyes after it.
Emmmm ...
Em …….
Is there something different from normal?
I was supposed to see a lot of items on the walls, but I don't see anything, everything is still normal.
Ehhhh! ...
Why am I asking myself a question?
I'm crazy !! ... hahaha
Well, I'm used to talking to myself, I always have, my whole life has been like this.
... click my tongue ...
Ahhhh… .this is a thing of the past.
….
"By the way, Eliz, how the hell do you use this?"
[Eliz] "Master, don't talk like that, be respectful ..."
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not saying something like that anymore, stop giving that look, it's scary, it's scary !!!."
This guide is passing my list.
"Well, that's it, tell me what matters to me ... useless guide."
I said that last in a low voice.
Uh ... I talked too much, he heard me and he seems to be crying.
She won't stop crying.
She looks like a girl.
….sigh….
"It was a joke, it was a joke, it was a joke, I was joking."
[Eliz] “Really? !! Seriously?!! Seriously?!!.."
By recalculating what I said, I can't help but tell myself if what I said is a joke or is actually my reality.
….
Because her personality is shit.
Change her personality as if she had a split personality.
"Yes, yes, yes ... But explain to me how to use the ability !!!."
Much dialogue.
I want to know what interests me, I'm dying to know how to use [Evaluation].
[Eliz] “Alright, Master. You're supposed to see or touch something while thinking about activating it or something like that. "
What do you mean something like that ?!
My subordinate can say something like that!
And then I am the one who has to speak with respect.
Well, to the case ...
I look down at the ground and look for a stone.
Out of all the stones, I grab a small one that seemed to glow.
No stone seems normal in this cave or what ?!
They all sparkle like diamonds.
I grab one of the many.
"Evaluation!!!."
I scream in my mind as I see the stone.
[Evaluation] "Stone"
[Evaluation] "Stone"
[Evaluation] "Stone"
[Evaluation] "Stone."
"What a shit skill !!!"
"I know it's a damn stone !!."
"Tell me something that I don't fucking know !!."

8 83A sorceress and a troll? (Troll JimXreader)
This is after season 3 but they found another heart stone in Arcadia in the forest
8 989The Other - a (man) called Ted
A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life. Though refusing to claim the title himself, this (immortal)'s projects have begun to leave him behind, awaiting some accident to move him back into the world. - - - - - - Initially intended to be a novella, then a project to keep me sane in busy times IRL, this will be considered the roughest of drafts. Also, IRL may prevent me from regular updates after the backlog is done. Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'
8 159Dungeon's Ascension
When the Immortal Quin and his friends are put in a life and death situation where escape seems impossible, they decide to start again from the beginning. But this time they will be born as dungeons and try to ascend again into the Divine Realm with a whole army at their backs to get revenge. The story follows Quin as he develops himself and the intimate relationship he forms with the local sect. In this story I will try to mix classical fantasy elements together with typical Xianxia tropes, but in the end I always try to have a logic and reason behind why the world functions as it does. For more infos on the future of the story read the first announcement. First time writing a story and feedback is greatly appreciated.
