2 Chapter 2: Power Levelling.

- Silas -

I shut the windows as I looked at the mess that was outside and let out a sigh once more.

Outside, there were several supernatural beings whom I didn't even know existed going around and clearing the evidence of any fights as well as doing the stuff which I only remember from MIB.

They were basically clearing the minds of those who had seen what they had seen only to find nothing in them.

Ainz had noticed the problem when they had completed taking care of everyone who attacked the shop.

I did kinda feel bad for those attackers… only a bit. They didn't even break my window or more like they couldn't and it cost them their lives.

Although, that pity disappeared as I looked at the collapsed bodies of the children.

These bastards had experimented on children, binding their souls with… NotPokemon, basically turning them into mindless monsters. They got what was coming to them.

The main problem which was noticed by Ainz was the danger it would bring the shop if other supernatural beings found out about the restaurant and decided to take action. We still didn't know about how strong they were or rather could be but from what little information we had gotten out of the girls, it seemed that even these NotPokemon of Tobio and Lavinia could destroy entire countries and so could the purple fire of that woman.

No wonder my head was giving me warnings when I saw the fire for the first time.

Zeref agreed with the suggestions and so did Rimuru so the first thing we did was clear up our tracks.

Irene, the woman who was with Zeref, suggested that we finish off any witnesses, making the kids almost piss their pants.

I however rejected that immediately.

I might be a devil or whatever but I wasn't scum.

Rimuru and the oldies agreed with me as did Saitama and Touma and surprisingly Zeref so the woman didn't push either.

Ainz then went off to wipe the memories of the ones around the place with one of his spells.

Irene made a contract for the kids to sign which would prevent them from revealing information about us.

They agreed.

The ghost of a smirk I might or might not have seen on her face at that moment made me think that she was probably trying to get this end in the first place.

We got some information from the kids about what was happening but apparently they were quite new at this too… well, except Lavinia who had been unconscious.

They did explain what happened in such cases.

Basically the supernatural factions played MIB on the common people. It explained why I never heard of anything odd happening in the world.

They also gave us a gist of the condition of the Supernatural world, or at least as much as they knew, well Natsume, the blonde girl because Tobio didn't know anything either.

This area was a neutral ground of sorts.

The main factions in Japan were the Shinto Gods, Youkai and the Onmyoji Clans, mainly the Five Principal Clans. The Youkai also had several other factions within them.

There were also the occasional members of the Abrahamic factions which were Angels, Devils and the Fallen Angels. I am a Devil, a member of the race created by fucking Lucifer when he rebelled from heaven.

Yes. Apparently, in this world Lucifer created a fucking race and other angels who were kicked out of Heaven became Fallen Angels instead of Devils.

Why I was here was not revealed from the information. But I couldn't think of any good reasons for it.

Eh, who cares. I got a good life. I have no complaints about the family I got here. My parents, who were most-likely not my birth parents, treated me so well that I didn't even know I was adopted. Why would I have a problem with them?

As for conspiracy theories about them using me or what not, since there was no way of finding that out anymore, I'd rather not sully the memories of my parents with such thoughts.

A glass can be half empty or half full depending on a user's perspective. Not appreciating the fact that you have half a glass of something when many others don't even have that privilege is childish. This is the principle I have lived with. If something cannot be changed, there is no use bitching about it and making your life a pity party.

Anyways, not straying from the topic at hand.

They decided to leave the shop while Lavinia rested on the upper floor. She will be allowed to leave when she decides to sign the contract or her memories will be wiped.

Tobio thanked us before going. He was quite a polite guy. He was carrying his girlfriend before leaving.

I closed the restaurant and we had Hayato man the shop while the more noticeable members decided to leave for their worlds. I was welcomed by some of them to visit while the heat faded away.

Both Ainz and Rimuru wanted to host me as did Zeref. Even the other guys welcomed me but I decided to take on Rimuru's offer first because, well, Nazarick wasn't exactly made for humans to live.

With my shop being completely blanketed by the power of the System, there was no danger inside the shop. They wouldn't even be able to detect us.

"So, what do we do going forward?" Rimuru asked.

"Let the heat cool off for a while. In the meantime, Silas can stay in one of our worlds and get stronger." Ainz suggested.

"The Demon Seed is solving the problem of not having any Demonic Power. The more you train, the stronger you get. I can assign someone to teach you magic if you want."

Magic?

I wouldn't lie.

Which guy hasn't wondered about being able to use Magic at least once?

I wasn't an exception. In fact, being a reincarnator, I was even more disappointed in my earlier years when I didn't get any magic or anything.

"We can assign someone to teach you magic as well but I just need to scout more of the land around us. We are still not sure if others can learn the Magic from Yggdrasil." Ainz answered regretfully.

"You can always learn Martial Arts. Your fists never betray you. I want to see how strong a Devil can become if they train in martial arts." Hayato offered.

"That, I wouldn't lie, is quite a prospect. I wouldn't mind giving it a try as well." Issac scratched his beard. "A Nen using Supernatural Being…"

"Martial Arts take a long time to master. We don't have that long a time."

"I can do something too, you know. I have some magicians in my world and apparently people get summoned in my world often and get magic when they do so. We can try to see if you get something." Rimuru offered a suggestion.

"Oh! And is this power gain almost instant?" Ainz asked.

"Well, there are things like naming someone which can give them power. The goblins working under me all evolved into Hobgoblins when I named them and gained a lot of power. Since Silas is not a human, we can try and see if that works."

"That's interesting." Ainz scratched his jaw.

"Merging the Demon Seed by learning magic from our world would be wiser." Irene suggested. "Although, having a stronger base to work with never hurts."

Rimuru's world is… so untainted.

Yes, that's the word.

It looked so clean compared to the modern world.

The goblins who looked a lot like humans except for certain features and their green colours looked at me with interest and awe.

"This is Tempest. My little village." Rimuru bounced as he showed me around the village. "Everyone, this is Silas, my close friend. Please treat him like one of us."

The goblins bowed to me.

Honestly, this was a little uncomfortable, what's with me not being used to all this.

"Okay. Let's do this. I name you, Silas." Rimuru declared and almost at the same instant, a voice resounded through my ears and a large amount of energy started to fill my body.

I went into a trance.

My wish?

What do I wish for?

Hmm, maybe to be able to run my restaurant better. I guess, be a better chef.

Unique Skill Gained: Chef.

I might be a Devil but I don't want to become a heartless monster. The Demon Seed could change someone's personality but I don't want to be controlled by it. I wanted someone to keep me sane.

Extra Skill Gained: Sage.

And with this, I lost my consciousness.

Extra Skill Gained: Magic Manipulation.

Extra Skill Gained: Universal Speak.

Rare Skill Gained: Water Manipulation.

Rare Skill Gained: Ice Manipulation.

Skill Gained: Demonic Core.

- Rimuru -

He watched as Silas lost consciousness. It was only the reassurance of Great Sage which kept him calm now.

It was a miracle that he was able to connect to his friends. He would never be able to look himself in a mirror if he actually fucked up the life of a friend now.

'The Individual Silas Evans has gained a Unique Skill called Chef.'

Chef? Yeah, it was the Skill Silas would get. Silas cooked the best darned food he had ever tasted in his life.

If someone else got the Chef Skill other than Silas, Rimuru would have an objection.

What does the Skill do?

Unique Skill Chef has several sub Skills.

First is Analysis. It allows the user to analyse anything he sees or touches, be it Material, Magic or any Skill of any kind.

So, a bit similar to Great Sage.

Then again he guessed, a Chef needed to know the ingredients to cook better food.

Second is Certain Outcome. It allows the user to overwrite the nature and fate of an object, being or even laws. Even if one tries to oppose the user, the user will just overwrite it with a stronger wish. This skill is given absolute priority and must achieve the desired effects of the user. Only those who possess a similar skill can oppose the user.

Last Optimal Action, it allows the user to see or know the best path or method to reach a certain objective.

"Is there a way I can make him stronger?" He asked Great Sage.

'Great Sage suggests intense magical training and being named by another being of great power.'

"Named? We can name people more than once?"

'Each successive use takes more Magicules.'

"I see. We need to get him trained in the next few days, enough to be able to defend himself in case he ever encounters people like those."

'The Analysis of the Magic, Spriggan Law has been completed.'

….

What?
