《Transported to an Absurd World》Chapter 4 — Change! [version 2]
Advertisement
When I woke up, it was morning. Dew formed on the surrounding plants. It was a cool, misty morning.
And there was the feeling of change in me. It was the divine blessing.
“….This is too much of a cheat.”
The blessing gave me the following:
–Skill: Language Comprehension & Construction
–Skill: Genesis of Magic
–Title: Root of Magic
Ehem! Explanation time! *kachin!*, as I make a ‘Repositioning my glasses’ pose.
First, Language Comprehension & Construction. It's that classic novel cheat where I get to understand and comprehend any language I hear. The ‘Construction’ part is where every word I speak and write will be constructed in the language I want it to be.
Second was the Genesis of Magic. I gain the knowledge on all existing magic and how they came to be. This also enables me to omit chanting if I want to. Also, I can create original spells because of this.
Lastly was the title, Root of Magic. This one gives me the skill Mana Manipulation Level 10. This skill is obtained by having Mana Perception Level 10 and Mana Control Level 10. It will automatically be fused together to form Mana Manipulation.
By the way, skills have levels from 1-10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.
And all these came from that divine blessing.
“…In the meantime… [Status].”
I invoked the status checking spell, [Status]. The effect is as the name implies, checks the status of oneself or someone else.
My Status Window appeared as a transparent floating text box.

“…No matter how I look at it, I'm not human.”
My race displays Divine Core - Form(Human). Simply put, I'm a magic core, the Dungeon Core of this dungeon to be exact, manifested as a human. I was told that I was supposed to be summoned here, but as my physical body was destroyed, they transported my soul instead and it occupied the Dungeon Core. How? It's that Deus, Nihil's doing.
And when my soul possessed the Dungeon Core, it transformed into a human.
And what's with these absurd titles, “Natural Calamity” and “One who Cheats Death?”
These titles give the skills Perpetual Boost - Strength, which gives a boost in the Strength status, and Immortality, respectively. By the way, Amplify Magic passively boosts my Magic status, along with Genesis of Magic.
Because of this, my unbelievable status became more unbelievable.
“…Oh..”
*KACHIN!* Idea! Nice one, me! I said as I made an imaginary high five with myself.
“[Sealing Accessories]”
My very first Original Magic! Along with infusing multiple [Seal] spells, these ‘Sealing Accessories’ act as mediums for the [Seals]. What's more, an original [Seal] is placed. I name it [Sealing Booster], which boosts any [Seal] spells.
I now have huge golden armlets on both my wrists. Oddly enough, they don't seem to fall off even though they're loose.
“…I should be considerably weaker than before. [Status]”

“…Well, better than before.”
I just hope I won't have too much of a hard time here now. Well, let's just see how it goes.
“Well, new morning , new me. Onwards! Our goal is escaping this dungeon!”
*KACHIN!*
Pose with power and confidence! Today feels like a lucky day.
And out the cave I go.
