Volume 1

Chapter 3 – New Skills and The Capital City

“Aluvia rise” now what is the report did you manage to get in contact with any of the heroes, also what is the report on the city.

My King, I managed to get in contact with the city ruled by the two heroes but they declined the offer and saying that if you wanted to talk to them you can do so during this year’s King's procession man to man. – “I see then that’s what we will do continue.” – The monsters that were surrounding the city have lately been decreasing in number and we believe the reason is the Dark Cumulus we summoned.

Why do you think that??

It’s because the reports state that the monsters were seen being consumed by a black cloud. “What about our treasury.”

Aluvia said the next few words with an expression on her which can only be described as hatred and despise.

“The economy has been on a great rise since you started your new policies but I still believe that we should refrain using the methods we are currently using.”

Yes, I will consider that you are dismissed.

Brother why don’t you just “take care of her”.

Believe me, little sister I would love to get her out of my palace but she is the most trusted by the public not only that our father appointed her head of the army if I remove her now people will retaliate but when I get one chance she will be gone.

“If it’s a reason you need, I can get you one.”

***

Hey, how are you guys doing? “GRRRR…”

WOW, no need to get so violent it’s rude to bully others you know; you should not do stuff like this. It is a bad habit.

“BOOM” As the dark figure said those words, he dodged the pouncing monster and he placed one hand on the dark wolf’s face and slammed it to the ground and then…

Allow me to teach you manners, Dark mist.

The surrounding area immediately got covered but a thick black mist making it virtually impossible to see anything. The wolves confused started jumping at everything they saw as the confusion set into the minds of the wolves Masaoki from the shadows started whittling the pack of wolves one by one. “AOoo” with that roar a large gust of wind rose from the ground and blew the mist away revealing the dark figure with an unconscious wolf in his arms.

Boy, it seems you are a strong one – “Grrrr” the wolf's horn grew larger along with his fangs and the black chain wrapped around him started to unravel like being controlled by the wolf the wolf then disappeared from Masaoki's sight.

What the hell where did it go. Right at that moment from behind Masaoki the wolf came out and attacked with his fangs Masaoki quickly dodged but the wolf quickly continued with an attack from the chains. Masaoki went flying and hit a tree.

“KEUUK” DAMN it got me good what happened to it Myu.

It appears that the dark wolf has had a class upgrade he is now an S-class Night eye wolf.

Wow, something like that is possible – “yes of course” – also Myu why does my body not hurt that much I mean I hit the tree really hard.

It is because the only time you can feel pain is when your core has been hurt the rest of your body is just materialistic, not real.

I see, well let’s show this wolf what I can do black mist.

The wolf saw a figure and jumped at it then Masaoki came from the opposite direction and kicked the wolf in the midrib and the wolf went flying.

I’ll say you are strong but I just got used to some of my powers “LIGHTING CONDUCTION”. THAT will paralyze you, and this will end you cloud creation magic “DARK CUT.” (*exhales*)

That was a good use of your magic by the way what is dark cut.

It’s umm just a name I thought of you know how heroes have a special move and stuff.

Do you want to use the special skill ABSORB?

Hey, you just ignored me didn’t you anyway. What is ABSORB?

ABSORB is a special skill that allows you to consume a monster’s body and then allows you to use the abilities that the monster can.

That is a very useful skill... use “ABSORB.”

The absorb skill analysis is completed successfully you can now use “DARK MOVEMENT, DARK AURA, CHAIN CONTROL, WIND STORM…”

“DARK AURA the monster never used it guess it is a weak magic spell.”

Hey, are you okay…

The white colored wolf ran away in a hurry.

What the hell I just saved that one… oh well I guess it was beneficial for me I learned a lot about myself and my powers and how to use them.

So, what do you want to do now umm… “Call me Storm” how did you land on the name Storm?

I don’t know just felt like it. Ok, let’s go and get a little more battle exp.

***

A few weeks past and in those few weeks Storm fought many monsters and gained extensive knowledge on how to use his skills efficiently in battle.

“CLOUD CREATION LIGHTNING SWORD” SLASH.

A clean-cut through the Armobot. – that monster looks an awful lot like a futuristic armadillo it is almost like the armadillo’s in this world were cyberpunk-ified.

Storm there is no such thing as cyberpunk-ified.

You think I don’t know that… “ahh-ha” let’s take a short break. “Okay…”

There is one thing I don’t understand Storm why are we just going around killing hostile monsters.

Simply put, I don’t know what to do I still have not understood anything about this world hell I have not even seen any humans since the first day. I guess if I had to say I guess I am just killing some time while I think how I can get into a city without causing a commotion.

I see, so do you want to review all the new skills you have acquired just like always. “Yes, please”

Great King… armament what is mimic Myu.

Mimic is a special ability “rustle”.

Maan having to scout this forest sucks it is such a bad job to get. – I know man I feel your pain I mean what are we even investigating in a forest.

We are searching for the person who has been on a killing spree killing monsters.

Hey, guys look here food “chomp” this meat is freaking delicious.

Don’t eat random stuff you find in a forest Karma.

“Damn them they are taking my lunch.”

At that moment Storm sensed the three individuals coming. He quickly jumped and hid in a tree.

So, as I was saying Mimic is a “great time for an explanation” special ability that allows its wielder to copy the appearance and small amount of magic of the creature being copied this ability can also be used to modify the bodies of the mimic creature. The requirement to use this skill is to have the DNA of the creature which the wielder wishes to Mimic.

The only thing that came to Storm’s mind was “can I use mimic to become a girl.”

Yes, you can use mimic to become a girl but to do so you would need human DNA.

Simple enough… “jump” hello fellas how are you doing I will be needing your DNA so FIGHT.

Ha look at that I thought your kind were extinct… so you want to play with the big boy’s ha let me teach you a lesson. Karma, Zoba, you two should just stay behind.

Teeko wait you are a lower S-class fighter he is a demon class monster…

“BOOM” damn it I told you to stop.

As Teeko rushed in with confidence thinking he could easily defeat Storm but he was gravely mistaken as he got close Storm used Heavy Armament to punch Teeko right at the center of his face and broke one cheekbone, two teeth, and his nose and caused him to bleed severely and he also broke his back.

I know it was Teeko’s fault for rushing in but you will PAY.

I think you are mistaken I mean how do you plan to defeat me without having room to move. Wind Magic “icy spears”.

What is this you used wind magic how are you using ice to attack?

It is really simple I used water magic to increase the humidity in this place and then used extremely cold winds to make the water to go from mist to ice... you’re done…

Are you sure that was the correct thing to do?

Who knows it’s not like I beat them to near death “but you did beat that one guy to near death” I thought he would be stronger besides we needed DNA his blood was required.

A strand of hair would have worked just the same. “…” Anyways what do you plan to do?

That is simple I will use mimic become a human and pay the city I escaped from a visit. (*smirk*)
