3 Agony

'Wait, what?'

Ai read over her statistics over and over again, it was completely different from His and Her lifetime.

'Dex? Con? What the hell happened to Agility, Vitality, and the rest?'

These stats seem to be vastly different from Their old world, almost like stats have been consolidated.

She scrolled to the bottom viewing her spells, the first three were relatively standard.

What caught her attention was the skill and the last spell.

[[True Analysis] MP Cost: 1

Effect: Like Analysis, scans the target (person, object, spell) and identifies characteristics of said target. Unlike Analysis, scans full information and bypasses Illusion and Disguise effects.

[Creation] MP Cost: Varies | Varies

Effect: Create any item you can imagine. Actual materials can be used to substitute for mana cost but the creator must have the maximum mana required to make said item.]

'Creation Mage huh? Didn't really get a choice for my third class but, damn this spell is interesting, anything I can imagine?'

'And this skill, True Analysis, very useful and very broken at higher levels.'

Ai was dumbfounded by her status page. The Prestige Ritual had worked in a way neither of Them had imagined, and with the way that She had gone about acquiring power, this was for the best.

"Miss, I know you want to mess around with the system, but we need to leave. Rumors of the Barbarian Queen in this area have been increasing lately." Snapping out of her daze, Ai looked at the man who spoke up.

He was a tall muscular half-orc with grey skin, short choppy black hair, and black eyes, he wore minimal armor, minimal clothing in general, a simple loincloth covered his groin and his chest piece looked like two belts that had crossed his chest in an 'x'.

Deciding to test out her new skill, Ai activated [True Analysis] on the half-orc.

[Name: Damian Mendel

'Wait, his stats are lower than mine? Well he is obviously stronger given his vastly higher HP pool. Maybe these stats are like a baseline and levels in this world amplify the effect those base stats.'

'Hmmm... I will definitely have to research this system more when I get free time. Meanwhile, everyone is staring at me.'

Ai nodded her head. "Ah! Sorry!"

Jes narrowed her eyes, she noticed the girl's eyes change color to different shades of yellow briefly, indicating the use of an analysis skill.

Something like that shouldn't be easily acquired by a level 1, it was strange to her that she couldn't see the girl's class after using her own analysis skill. However, she did notice something strange, it almost seemed like...

"Nevertheless we should depart. Little Ai, you are more than welcome to come with us as far as the nearby town." Jes spoke up.

Ai could feel her heart drop in her chest. 'Did she scan me as well? Shit, does she know I have multiple classes?'

Ai bowed down, "Ah, sorry, yes, my name is Ai and I would be grateful if you all could escort me to town!"

Lia walked up and ruffled Ai's hair. "Of course 'Little Ai' We'll take care of ya just fine!"

After doing a quick headcount, Jes nodded and shouted out, "Alright ladies and gents, let's get a move on."

And the party exited through the hole in the wall behind the crumbled altar.

----------------------------------------

Ai spent most of the time walking in the middle of the group whilst observing the system some more.

She had noticed that the sword had disappeared but happened to find it in her inventory labeled as [Mysterious Sword].

'Hehe, mysteries of the world, begone, [True Analysis]!'

The message began to flicker as code started to appear that quickly changed to letters until it finally showed the true name and statistics of the blade.

[[Agony: Longsword Mode | Evolution Type Weapon | STR Based]

This blade is said to house the souls of the Old Ones. Once soulbound, this blade will evolve with its user, unlocking more forms and skills. Can absorb the mana of the user to switch forms and use skills.

Current Versions: [Longsword Mode | STR Based] [Rapier Mode | DEX Based]

Current Skills: N/A]

'Holy shit!!!' Ai's eyes widened in shock.

An evolution type weapon was rare, so rare in fact that one hadn't been discovered in over 200 years back in Their time. Add skills to that and its nearly unheard of.

The last person to acquire an evolution weapon with skills was the legendary Dragon Master Tsakikabe from the Empire of the Rising Sun.

Ai grinned like gluttony in a candy store yet quickly paled.

'Shit, I'm gonna stick out like a sore thumb, 3 classes, and an evolution weapon. I'm pretty much a glass cannon. I'm not quite agile enough to dodge every attack and a higher level could sneeze on me and kill me for my sword. Jes was right, I have to find a way to disguise myself.'

"Ah, and we have reached our destination." Jes stopped and looked straight ahead, her eyes were glowing slightly, indicating the use of a spell.

"Eh? Jes? But we are still in the middle of nowhere?" Lia said in confusion.

'Shit...' Danger invaded every sense as Ai looked towards the path ahead.

Two hooded figures emerged from the trees, the part of their faces that wasn't covered by their hood was covered by a black mask.

'So it's like that then.'

"Greetings gentlemen." Jesamine pointed her arm towards Ai.

"This is the girl I told you about. She is all yours." She turned and looked at Ai with a soft smile, but her eyes were cold.

A small red magic circle appeared in Jes' hand, an attack-type spell.

The hooded figures drew scimitars and slowly walked towards the group.

"Can't you show this 'little girl' some mercy?" Ai drew Agony from her inventory and activated [True Analysis].

'Shit, surrounded by levels 14-16, and those 2 hooded cucks are levels 17 and 18'

"Or will this 'little girl' have to teach you all some manners?" Ai grinned sadistically, and with 100% false confidence.

'Shit! Shit! Shit! I am so screwed! Please be scared, please be scared!'
